Editor-in-Chief – Charles R. Drago
A Fever of Rays
Solitary. Mysterious. Balletic. In motion, like isolated thoughts adrift in a synaptic sea. Until, driven by urges ancient and unfathomable, they coalesce into an idea, an odyssey from randomness to intention, a seemingly chaotic dance macabre onto which the observant human brain is compelled to impose order, but which the human imagination longs only to join.
Two Great Expedition Outfitters – Then and Now
How else could Lewis and Clark have made it all the way there and back again? How else could Burton have discovered the source of the Nile? How else could Stanley have found Livingstone? How else could Teddy Roosevelt have mapped the River of Doubt? The history of great expeditions as we appreciate it today could not have been written if the courageous explorers who walk like giants through it had not been outfitted with the finest shooting and survival gear of their respective times.
The New, Platonic Relationship between Women and Guns
In the final analysis it is not about empowerment, or leveling the playing field, or addressing a perceived need to demonstrate physical strength, emotional stability and practical judgment. The story of the dramatic increase of women owning guns in America is one of the human needs for self-expression and self-defense.
The Infamous Derringer that Changed History
Shortly after 10 p.m. on April 14, 1865, actor John Wilkes Booth entered the presidential box at Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C. and fatally shot President Abraham Lincoln. As Lincoln slumped forward in his seat, Booth leapt onto the stage and escaped through the back door.
The Gatling Gun: The Early Years of 19th Century High Tech
The Gatling gun was born in a storm of irony. It was designed by the American Dr. Richard J. Gatling in 1861 and patented a year later. Gatling repeatedly reminded all who would listen that he created the gun to save lives by reducing the size of armies while ultimately demonstrating the futility of war.
How Arrogance and Prejudice Trumped Technological Superiority of Guns Over Knives
As of the morning of January 22, 1879, the Martini Henry breach loading, single shot, lever-actuated rifle with which the British Army had been equipped was globally recognized as being what today we would describe as a "high tech" weapon of choice for then-modern European military forces.

Gone are
the days when performance benchmarks settled all Intel vs. AMD processor debates. The
tone of the desktop computing world is palpably shifting towards power conservation, and even indivual
computer users are starting to wonder "just how much power is this going to
take to get me there?"
Perhaps it's only when we consider the 24x7x365 electrical operating
cost of a computer that these small power reductions muster any
significance, but there it is. In a sense, what's happening now parallels the transition
to from loud computers to the silent PC esthetic. Before hot-running computer processors went
quiet, enthusiasts' attempts to reduce the PC noise were exceptions to the
rule, rather than the norm. An entire industry now thrives on selling quiet
computer hardware, could the same hold true for energy efficient desktop processors
that don't sacrifice performance?
I think we're all still finding our feet on the energy efficient component,
but it's certainly a new component PCSTATS will be considering as we
mull over the benchmark results of the Athlon64 FX-62 and X2 5000+ processors.
Now, let's get on with the total system power draw tests...
Total Power Consumption
The price of energy is increasing world wide,
and any reduction in the amount of power a CPU requires is welcome. Wading
through the technical numbers that Intel and AMD provide can be confusing
because each company reports values in slightly different ways.
On paper AMD appears to consume more
power since its values are higher, however AMD lists its maximum power usage while Intel posts typical. Obviously the two are not comparable and to find
out which actually consumes more power, we decided to test things out.
Representing Intel will be a retail Intel
Pentium D 840, Pentium 4 540, and Pentium D 940 processor. Standing in
for AMD are the socket AM2 Athlon64 FX-62, Athlon64 X2 5000+, and
socket 939 Athlon64 4000+ and Athlon64 FX-60 processors.
The test specs for each system stayed as
constant as possible: Akasa PowerPlus AK-P550FF power supply, Western Digital
74GB Raptor hard drive, an 8x Gigabyte DVD-/+RW drive and a MSI NX6600GT-TD128E
videocard. Please note that Cool 'n' Quiet is disabled for these tests,
with Cool 'n' Quiet enabled, total system power draw will be even less that
what is reported. A picture of the total system power draw
test configuration is shown at right. The Extech Power Analyzer is located
between the mains 120AC supply and the PC power supply.
To simulate single-core load, the Prime95 Small FFTs test was run, and two
instances launched for dual core loading. Total system power consumption was
read with a Extech Power Analyzer Datalogger (model 380803) for both
CPU loaded and CPU idle states. Please keep in mind that these values
are measuring an entire system while the processor is running
under computational load or idle.
How do the socket AM2 Athlon64 FX-62 and
X2 5000+ impact total system power draw? Let's have a look....

Lawmakers are making decisions that go beyond curbing the power of the incoming governor and attorney general. The Wednesday overnight measures that did and didn't pass regarding health care could impact millions of Wisconsinites.
The state Legislature approved new work requirements for some of the 1.2 million Medicaid recipients in the state. If passed, the changes require childless adults up to age 49 to complete at least 80 hours of work to maintain coverage.
Currently, the State Department of Health Services works directly with the federal government to make changes to Medicaid waivers. Advocates for those with disabilities fear what happened overnight in the Capitol could set a new precedent. The change could make it so the Department of Health Services first must go through the state Legislature before changes to Medicaid are ultimately made at the federal level.
"We're just concerned that people disabilities and their families could get caught in the crosshairs of some sort of political football if there was a disagreement between the Legislature and state department about changes that need to be made," explained Beth Swedeen with the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities.
Swedeen is concerned that the new process could slow down changes or updates to Medicaid waivers which allow people with disabilities to get additional services in the state.
"Things like where people can help with bathing and dressing. Also things like technology. So if you have a child who has autism who is a flight risk you can have a yard enclosed with a fence," Swedeen said.
The state Senate rejected a bill that would have created a guarantee that people with pre-existing conditions can have access to health insurance. Democrats said the measure provided inadequate coverage and would cause premiums to skyrocket.
Gov. Scott Walker would need to sign the Medicaid bill into law for it to go into effect. The Affordable Care Act would need to be repealed in order for people with pre-existing conditions to lose coverage.

For some reason I really like dinosaurs. It might sound weird... or 6-year old boyish. My infatuation with them might stem from growing up with all boys or from listening to my incredibly smart nephews talk about them, maybe it is from hearing my parents call broccoli dinosaur trees, it might be because I used to watch Jurassic Park a ton, or it might just be because I do an incredible raptor impression... I don't really know. But I love them. And I am fascinated by them. At Thanksgiving Point there is the Museum of Ancient Life, and Adam and I have both been wanting to go there. So last weekend he planned a surprise date and took me to see the dinosaurs. It was such a fun night. It was fun seeing all the dinosaurs, guessing whether something was petrified wood or crocodile dung, digging in the sand to change the water flow, and finding out how much we weigh in dinosaur.
Adam tried to kiss me so I showed him how I could be a dinosaur.
Together Adam and I weigh about the same as a Herrerasuaras.
Before the museum starts there is this fun science area where you get to play with all these experimental things. This was a point of entertainment for awhile.
He is a keeper. It was a fun date night. And I am not even embarrassed that we played around where the little kids were as other couples are age walked by and looked at us like we were crazy.

Hey guys!
This was an okay week although I do have some sad news to report. One of the stray kittens we have been feeding unfortunately got hit by a car during the early morning hours and she didn't make it. It's so sad because she was the most rambunctious in the group, always trying to sneak into the house and wanting to find food, so I'm definitely gonna miss that. It's even worse for the mama cat because she hasn't been dealing with the loss very well but hopefully she will be back to her old self sometime soon.
Anyways, let's get to my week in blogging!
Let's get started!
I read three books this week. I loved The One You Can't Forget and Getting Schooled, but One Small Thing fell short for me. I'm definitely the outlier here because I know a lot of people have been loving One Small Thing so take my review, which will be live tomorrow, with a grain of salt!
I've only read about 5% of this book. But in my defense, I've bee a little busy so hopefully I can find the time to binge-read it in one sitting.
I really only requested this book because I am so in love with the cover. It just screams summer and romance and I've also heard a lot of good things about Brenda Jackson's books so I'm excited to get to this one.

5 Dining Tables We Love
Dining tables are more than just a trusted surface: they play a central role in most mealtimes. Family and friends gather around, share a meal and enjoy each other's company. This is amplified over special occasions such as holiday feasts, birthday dinners and other special gatherings where memories are made. The houses we showcase in House and Leisure feature some exquisite dining tables. We've rounded up five of our favourites from these homes.
1. Mid-century Modern Dining Table from Our House
This elegant mid-century modern dining table is found in the home of Lezanne Viviers, creative director of the iconic Marianne Fassler label. Sold at Our House in Melville, its classic design may be a contrast to colourful and quirky art on the walls, but it manages to tie the room together nicely.
2. French Oak Dining Table by Pierre Cronje
Round tables have a more intimate feel as they encourage closeness and conversation. This round French oak dining table by Pierre Cronje is in the Clifton home of architect Jan-Heyn Vorster and his partner Pieter Bruwer. The table is elevated with its sleek design and unusual legs that are joined together.
3. Dining Table by Architect Ian McLennan
This simple yet striking dining table is found inside the mid-century house of iconic sculptor Edoardo Villa, and was designed for Villa by his close friend and the house's architect, Ian McLennan. Pieces that have a story behind them always add to their charm.
4. Black Oak Dining Table by James Mudge
Interior designer Etienne Hanekom's favourite space in his home is the dining room, and it's easy to see why. This dramatic black oak dining table by James Mudge blends in perfectly with the rest of the room and allows elements like the sunshine-yellow chairs and tropical wallpaper to really pop against their darker backdrop.
5. Grand Dining Table by Ligne Roset
Big gatherings call for stately banquet tables, and this grand 16-seater by Ligne Roset ensures there is plenty of space for a large dinner party. Found in gallerist Liza Essers' home, this farm-style table is a classic design that works well with the contemporary chairs that surround it.

My Daily Defender Profile
Horoscope signs: Aries Sun, Gemini Moon, Cancer Rising
Numerology Life Path number: 5
How I got into writing and reporting: Well first off, let me say I didn't really "get into" writing, writing actually "got into" me. I was given a natural affinity toward all forms of words and writing, and I must admit grammar is a bit of an obsession (and "a bit" is, well, a bit of an understatement). I've always had quite a dualistic nature (thank you, Gemini Moon!), with a passion for numbers and science early on, developing into a deep interest in art and creativity in my adult life. So I enjoy bridging this gap between left- and right-brained thinking, and I find the best avenues for this are through writing and visual art.
How I got into Astrology: I'd always found Astrology to be an interesting topic -- I owned a couple popular books on the subject, I knew my Sun sign was Aries and I'd read my daily horoscope for fun ... however, being immersed in Astrology through dailyhoroscope.com, my expertise has expanded incredibly over the past few years. An understanding of my own birth chart and the effects of what's currently happening in the skies offers an open perspective on the people and the world around me.
How I decide what to write about each day: My writing is Numerology-focused, so I always keep my eyes open to the numbers around me. From interesting dates to strange recurring digits to numbers in the news, I'm always on the lookout for an opportunity to decode how this world adds up!
Some articles I've written:
Chinese vs. Western Numerology
New Year's Day Numerology: 1/1/2011
All U.S. Presidents Aren't Actually Leos!
The best part of my job is: Not only do I get to work with an amazing group of open-minded, creative and inspiring individuals during my time in the office, but I get to work with an even larger group of inspiring and insightful people through our Twitter and Facebook pages -- our enthusiastic members provide new perspectives and enlightening questions that keep our astrological gears turning.
Sites I love:
Karmic weakness: I really don't fall prey to any of the Top 10 Karmic Laws ... except for one. "#8 Give it a Rest" is just not in my vocabulary (once again, that Gemini Moon!). Even though I'm not constantly tweeting and updating and posting every second of the day ... I know that my friends are ... and I'm sticking close to my computer to keep up on the latest. At times I must remind myself to step away -- 99% of this information isn't really all that important in the first place, and if it is ... it'll still be there when I come back!
My current karmic dilemma: I am currently free of karmic dilemmas! My goal is to approach each day with positivity, compassion and a strong sense of self ... I find that living my life with this mindset is the best way to tackle karmic dilemmas before they even arise.

Reducing energy consumption in our buildings makes perfect business sense, lowering running costs and minimising their environmental impact. It's particularly important in sites like leisure centres where energy costs are second only to the cost of labour, accounting for as much as 30% oftotal operational costs – greater than in any other industry sector.
So, where should energy and estates managers look to improve efficiency? The Government has identified heat and power in buildings as good starting places, as together they are responsible for around 40% of total UK energy use.
Certainly, heating and hot water account for a large proportion of energy bills in leisure centres, especially in complexes with swimming pools. With large volumes of water that must be continuously heated, swimming pools typically use five times as much energy per square metre as offices, according to CIBSE.
Electricity usage is also high, especially in centres that use it extensively for ventilation, lighting, fans and pumps.
For this reason, combined heat and power (CHP) is increasingly seen as a strategic tool for significant, long-term savings in leisure centres. By generating heat and power in a single process at the point of use, CHP is around 30% more efficient overall than using traditional heating plant and electricity supplied solely from the grid.
How does it work?
CHP is effectively a small power station, only more than twice as efficient due to its ability to capture otherwise wasted energy.
Unlike traditional power stations which reject 'waste' heat to the atmosphere, with CHP, the heat is recovered on site and used for space heating, hot water – or heating swimming pools.
And by generating electricity on site, CHP can produce low-carbon electricity at lower gas prices. All of which adds up to significant financial savings and improved energy security for businesses, including during the triad periods when grid power demand surges.
At the same time, it provides energy and estates managers with the opportunity to ensure greater energy resilience, helping offset fluctuating wholesale markets for electricity and gas.
Why leisure centres?
CHP operates most efficiently and generates greater cost and carbon emissions savings if it is running constantly and, preferably, at full output. As a general rule of thumb, 4000 operating hours is usually the minimum requirement to achieve an acceptable return on investment from CHP – which in our experience can be less than five years.
Leisure centres are, in the main, in constant use, opening almost every day of the year from early in the morning until late at night, with a high, year-round requirement for heat and power.
CHP is able to meet their constant demand for space heating and hot water while keeping heat and power costs low, making it a cost-effective solution for leisure centre owners and operators.
How to ensure optimal CHP operation and maximum benefits
Size matters
How the CHP unit is sized has a significant impact on its performance. Oversizing the CHP will cause the unit to shut down during periods of low thermal demand, resulting in frequent stop-start cycling. To avoid this, the best approach is generally to match CHP heat output to the building base load, with condensing boilers operating in conjunction to meet peak heat demand.
Get the sizing right and a continuously-running CHP unit will generate low-cost, low-carbon electricity as a by-product of producing base load heating.
Knowledge exchange
Good suppliers will have a dedicated CHP team on hand to offer support and guidance at every step. No one knows a product as well as the supplier, so it's advisable to involve them early on to get the best from the equipment. How a low-carbon technology like CHP is integrated into the system will affect its performance. Suppliers will be able to provide access to information that could help save time and money. The likelihood is that they will have seen a similar scenario before and its outcome. They should, therefore, be able to supply schematics and exemplary drawings that could prove useful.
Specialist technical engineers will be able to assist with the implementation and integration of the CHP as well as carrying out pre-commissioning, assembly and full commissioning, if required.
Long-term efficiency
Putting a service plan in place from the outset will ensure that the CHP unit continues to operate efficiently and reliably. Using experienced CHP engineers to service the unit will also enable maintenance to be carried out with minimum disruption.
Most suppliers will offer a choice of service plans, all of which will include inspections at regular intervals, typically at around 6000 CHP operating hours for a 20kWe unit. The plan will also include remote monitoring. As an estimated 85% of reported CHP faults are able to be corrected and reset remotely, this reduces downtime, inconvenience and costs still further – as well as the carbon emissions associated with a site visit.
Energy management benefits
What about the initial outlay? Funding for CHP and interest-free loans are available from schemes like Salix Finance and the Revolving Green Fund. CHP systems also qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowances and their fuel input is exempt from the Climate Change Levy, making the business case still stronger.
But even without grants, CHP offers huge scope for carbon and cost reductions in leisure centres. Just a 10% improvement in the management of energy use could save UK leisure facilities up to £70m each year and reduce carbon emissions by hundreds of thousands of tonnes, according to the Carbon Trust. CHP, which is fully compliant with all energy efficiency regulations and NOx requirements, has the potential to reduce a centre's energy bills by three times that amount.
Perhaps, most importantly, as the grid undergoes its biggest change in recent years, CHP provides improved control over energy consumption. And for local authorities committed to reducing energy consumption and emissions across all their estates, including leisure centres, that's surely a compelling argument.

Ready in a flash.
Daily maintenance work should be as straightforward as possible – because we know from experience that nobody enjoys doing things that are complicated or inconvenient.
- The large, one-piece bonnet opens at the press of a button, providing access to all the engine maintenance points
- The oil can be checked and topped up when the bonnet is closed
- All daily maintenance tasks can be carried out without tools
The long oil change intervals (engine 600 h, transmission and hydraulics 1,200 h) save a great deal of time and money. This means that less valuable working time is lost during the season and the tractor is where it should be – at work.
The battery is housed in a storage compartment on the left-hand side of the tractor. An automatic main battery switch cuts the power supply 90 s after the engine is switched off.
Fresh air for full power.
The large intake panels in the bonnet provide plenty of fresh air for cooling and for the engine air filter. Low flow rates at the intake panels help them to stay clean and permeable at all times.
The radiator assemblies are supported by a robust frame and gas-filled shock absorbers open the radiator panels to two positions for thorough cleaning. Cleaning can therefore be carried out safely and conveniently as required.

Race for a Cure... goal completed!!
We did it!! Ashley and I ran in the Race for a Cure this Saturday and it was AWESOME!!! There were over 10,000 runners - and thousands more cheering us on. We completed our 5k run in 35 minutes - we were so proud of us. Did I mention we are not natural born runners? This was our very first race and now we are hooked. The adrenalin rush was amazing - I felt like doing a little touchdown dance at the finish line. This race can also be so emotional seeing all of the breast cancer survivors walking around in their pink shirts - seeing the memorial signs for so many other women. The statistic is 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Very scary and very real to lots of families.
After the race we were treated with free Panera Bread, Starbucks coffee, and yogurt. This race knows me - all my favorite things! To top off my day I won a gift card to Academy Sports - they picked my number out of 10,000 other participants.... what are the chances?? Great day - Great run - Ran with purpose - With my Best friend beside me! You can't get any better than that. Put it on your calendar now and join us next October.

Mrs. Linda...
This Saturday I'm running in The Race For A Cure along with my best friend Ashley - this is a race to raise awareness and money for breast cancer. I've been to this race many times over the years. Sadly never to run but to volunteer - or should I say mandated to volunteer when in college. I always hated getting up so early - I was tired - it was freezing cold -and I was made to be there. However the attitude starts to change when people start arriving at the race. Breast cancer survivors walking around everywhere with a sense of accomplishment... a battle well fought. As you survey the crowd you also notice an overwhelming sea of baldness. Women who are engaged in the battle of a lifetime. You also see men and children walking around holding signs that read "My mom is a survivor" or "My wife is a fighter". Even as a very selfish and self absorbed college student I knew I was surrounded by strength and faith I knew nothing about - I was in awe of these women and brought to tears by the battle scars of this cancer.
I decided to run this race after my miscarriage in August. This race became a goal... something I could control. I controlled how much I ran and how long. I controlled my training schedule - even controlled the actual sign up for the race. The miscarriage was anything but under my control. Okay so you get the point this race and the training process was all about ME. Again I was self absorbed about my issues and that is where my mindset has been as I have trained for this race. Until two weeks ago.
When you run in the race for the cure you wear your race number but you also can choose to run in honor of someone and write their name on your number - a survivor of breast cancer, someone who died of breast cancer, someone who is battling this cancer, etc. I've know since August I was going to run in honor of Mrs. Linda - who is a 8 year survivor of breast cancer. Mrs. Linda and her husband James work with me at the Alabama Baptist Children's Homes. They are the house parents for the homeless shelter I supervise - we call it the Family Care Program. I have worked with Mrs. Linda running this shelter for seven years. Together we have encountered so many interesting women and have heard almost every heart wrenching story there is to hear. We have experienced heart break over ladies who choose not to make wise decisions and we have experienced pure joy over ladies who change their lives and are no longer homeless - they have a chance.
Mrs. Linda is a gentle lady - very wise - very caring - a care taker. God has gifted her to be a teacher. She teaches me something every time I see her. She teaches me to serve my husband, to cook new things, she encourages me to continue when things seem hopeless. Most importantly she teaches ladies who have been given up on - the ladies in our shelter who have never experienced a mother's love. Mrs. Linda finds joy in the simple things of life - others are drawn to her.
So on Saturday I'm running for Mrs. Linda.
Two weeks ago she found out her breast cancer has returned. Tomorrow she will be having surgery with chemo and radiation to follow. All this falls on a planned retirement In November. This was her time to be free from anything that hindered and to travel the country with the man she loves. Instead she will be battling for her life... battling this cancer once again. Pray for Mrs. Linda. Pray God would overwhelm her with His love. Pray for healing.
This Saturday has become a lot less about me and a lot more about other people. Suddenly this week fatigue in running wasn't an option - its not an option for Mrs. Linda to feel too tired to receive chemo - so now running isn't about me or for me... it is for Mrs. Linda.

Detection, devices, design
Imaging has become an essential tool in healthcare as well as in basic science research. Despite the huge advances in the past decades, the demand for higher sensitivity, better resolution, improved information content and more affordable imaging techniques, together with better image analysis techniques and information system tools, has never been higher.
Investigators in the Department of Bioengineering seek to develop such imaging, image analysis and information system tools with ultrasound, MRI, optical imaging and microscopy and microCT, and apply these tools to various medical, biological and other research applications.
Physical and chemical measurements are of fundamental importance in clinical application and in understanding the underlying biology. Improvements in patient care can come about through identification of new markers of disease, rapid diagnoses and more frequent or continuous monitoring, in the hospital, the clinic or ideally in the home.
The enabling technology for these exciting developments ranges from molecular probes to whole measurement systems and encompasses chemical sensors and biosensors, low power circuits for data processing and wireless transmission, and novel real-time signal processing.

Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme CPU Cooler Review (Page 7)
Installation and Finished Product
The back plate is designed to not only be universal for brands of CPUs, but it is also designed to go on either way with clearances at both sides for the socket screws for this Intel board. There are Phillip's and Hex heads on the screws to get a bite when securing the risers on the other side.
Above the board, when you go to install the risers here, make sure the nylon washer is facing down to isolate the motherboard from the rest of the hardware up here.
With the risers secured and the top plate in place, you sink the short M3 screws in each riser until the plate is locked down. Now we need to apply thermal paste, the cross bar, and the cooler and we can get to testing.
After securing the cross bar with two more short M3 screws, I reset the fans onto the cooler and stepped back to see what room is taken over. You can clearly see the 8-pin EPS connector so that is good, but the memory has completely disappeared in this shot.
Looking at things a little closer, even with the fan clips pushed up as high as this design will allow, the fan frame is surrounding my second memory stick and it sits lower than the memory.
Before we continue around the board, I did try this splitter without the Molex plug having power and got no voltage to the fans. If you do plan to use this, be sure to plug in the Molex before you tidy up the wires so you can make sure it is not tucked away as you realize it later.
Back to the fans. You can really see from this angle what I meant about the fan surrounding the memory stick. This is for extremists, and most of them rarely run four RAM sticks for suicide runs, but for those looking for this to use as a daily driver, this is something to consider heavily prior to buying.
We know she is big, I like the color scheme, and as I look at it now just before testing, it's almost as if it has some sort of spell on me; I just can't stop looking at it!

A Gathering Voices post by Lynne M. Baab
Yesterday I spoke at a conference on theology and mental health. I was one of 10 presenters, and I talked about the current trend toward medicalizing sadness. Increasingly, grief and other feelings of sadness are now treated with anti-depressants. One man in the audience, who has been a psychiatrist for 40 years, affirmed what I said. He noted that in his younger days, people were often referred to grief counselors when dealing with various forms of grief. Now, he said, they are simply given anti-depressants.
As a part of my talk, I mentioned other kinds of sadness and discouragement that are common in ministry when things aren't going as we expected. I referred to the notion of a spiritual battle, that there are forces for good and evil that we can't see or touch. I read from Ephesians 6:10-17 and I recommended prayer as a way to keep our perspective centered on Christ in the midst of difficult ministry situations.
One of the questions after my presentation surprised me. A woman said, "You've recommended prayer. How would you define prayer?"
I replied, "There are many kinds of prayer, and the definition might vary depending on the kind of prayer we have in mind. I'll mention two kinds of prayer that seem significant when people are discouraged in the midst of ministry. One kind would be intercessory prayer."
She interrupted me. "You mean begging."
I think I gave a good answer: "I would say that intercessory prayer is more about relinquishment than about begging. We say to God, 'Loving God, we're concerned about this specific situation. Please be at work in this situation, and here's how we wish you would be at work, but ultimately you are God and we are not. Please enable us to trust you in this situation that we concerned about.'"
I really believe prayer matters. I really believe we are called to be partners with God in ministry, and that God wants to hear our perspective on how we think God should act in any given situation. I really believe God acts in response to our prayers.
And I also believe prayer shapes our hearts as we acknowledge that God is wiser than we are about what needs to be done. Therefore, part of what we do in prayer is relinquish our need to be right and our need to control. Another aspect of what we do in prayer is listen to God so we can grow in understanding the best way to pray about a situation.
I've done more than a hundred interviews for my books on Christian spiritual practices. Over and over my interviewees have told me that as they fasted, as they engaged in contemplative prayer, as they have engaged in other spiritual disciplines, they heard from God new ways to pray about the things they were concerned about. They start off praying a certain way for a situation, and as they continue to pray, God helps them see a different way to pray, a different perspective or priority about the situation.
This is quite mysterious, and the only way I can describe it is that we are partners with God in intercessory prayer just as we are partners with God in ministry. God wants to know our perspective, and often wants to give us another perspective as well.
For the record, in my answer I also talked about the kinds of prayer that help us notice what God is already doing: thankfulness prayers and various forms of silent prayer. These forms of prayer help us listen to God as well, and obviously we need to listen if we are to grow in hearing God's perspective on new ways to pray for the things we care about.

Spring is all about colors and loads of it. If you are bored of neutrals, blacks and beige in your wardrobe, well this is the perfect time to reinvent your wardrobe and add a dash of color to it. Though neutrals are perfect for much of your wardrobe but color adds glamour and zing to your personality. So pick up some vibrant hues and make a style statement this spring.
Place colors close to your face and see which colors suit you the best. Pick out those that work well not only with your skin tone but your hair color and eye color as well.
Wear a flattering color close to your face for maximum impact.
Start by using the colors on your lips or nails or over your eye. This way you will get used to the new palette.
Add a scarf in one of your new bright colors; swap your black shoes with vibrant ones.
Even if your dress is devoid of colors add to it with bright accessories.
Try a tube top in one of your bright colors, under a neutral jacket.
Buy accessories in vibrant hues, red, purple, yellow are all hot this season.
Use colors to express your mood, red for bold, pink for a feminine touch, black for classic, chic look.
Dress for the occasion, pink for a date, black for a formal do, red for a candle night dinner…
Play up your best features by placing bright colors right next to it.
Don't go by which colors you should or shouldn't wear. Never restrict yourself with laid down rules, experiment and the world is yours to explore.

On Feb. 3, Little Rock (LR) men's and women's basketball hosted Georgia State at the Jack Stephens Center. The women's team managed to pull out their 11th straight victory and remain undefeated in conference play.
The game was a defensive battle throughout. The Panthers 2-3 zone defense bottled LR's offense in the first quarter. Georgia State led 10-8 at the end of one quarter. LR was able to penetrate the Panther's defense better in the second quarter and took a 4-point, 22-18 lead into halftime. LR distributed the ball well in the first half, with seven assists on 10 made field goals.
Junior forward Ronjanae Degray made her presence known in the third quarter, scoring seven points in the period. LR extended their lead and took a 40-34 lead into the final quarter. Her twin sister, Raeyana Degray, made a bucket and a block to start the 4th quarter. After Keanna Keys snagged a rebound and scored on the put-back, the Trojans led 50-41 with four minutes remaining.
Georgia State tried to pick up the defensive intensity, but a steal by freshman Tori Lasker led to two made free throws which sealed the victory. LR won with a final score of 54-47.
Lasker finished with 11 points, six assists, three rebounds, and one steal. Keys had a near double-double with 12 points and eight boards. Ronjanae Degray led the team in scoring with 16 and added eight rebounds. Raeyana Degray scored four and gathered seven rebounds. Both Degrays' added a block and a steal.
The men's game ended differently. Georgia State put on an offensive clinic and routed the Trojans to a 30-point victory. LR started the game strong and took an early 5-0 lead. The Panthers, however, answered with a 14-0 run and never looked back. The Panthers junior guard Devin Mitchell was on fire beyond the arc in the first half. He went 7-10 from the field in the first segment, six of which were three-pointers. Mitchell had 20 at the half while LR had 24. Georgia State took a 38-24 lead into halftime.
The second half was more of the same for both sides. LR struggled to score to start the half. Georgia State went on a 21-0 run until LR finally scored a tip-in rebound by senior forward Wadly Mompremier. LR faced a 33-point deficit at the 12:25 mark.
Mitchell continued his hot shooting throughout the game. He set a Jack Stephens Center record with 10 three-pointers and finished with 38 points on the night, both career highs. Mitchell also became the 2nd player to make ten three-pointers in a game in the NCAA this year.
The one shining spot for the Trojans was freshman guard Cameron Corcoran. Corcoran finished with 18 points, going 5-8 from three and 6-9 overall. LR also forced the Panthers into 21 turnovers, showing their defensive tenacity. The field goal percentage really tells the story of the game. LR finished at 36% while the Panthers shot 54%.
Both programs will be on the road for their next three games. LR will return to the Jack Feb. 22, to host Coastal Carolina.

Back in September there were rumors Steve Harvey was having a hard time booking A-List celebrities for his reformatted talk show [click here if you missed that].
Is Steve causing his own problems...?
Could be.
Insiders tell Naughty Gossip
"Steve is always late to set and could keep the crew and celebrity guests waiting for hours."
"This is why he is having such a hard time booking real A-List talent to appear on his new show based out of LA. Steve has zero interest in playing nice with superstars or their publicist or their managers. As far as he is concerned his show has booked the biggest star in the World five days a week – that would be him, Steve Harvey."

A critical role of Government is the defence of its people. Labour would appear to paying lip servce to advice it is receiving on a clear and present danger - Asian Bird Flu. Cabinet Papers released under the OIA reveal New Zealand is dangerously unprepared for an outbreak of the "expected" bird flu pandemic. Health Minister Annette King was told in January that the risk from bird flu "is immediate" and an outbreak would kill 3,700 New Zealanders. Rather puts the road toll into perspective and the Government's priorities.
The Primary health sector has had no input into the problem, how it would respond and what resources it needs. As the first line of defence is the primary care sector this is a remarkable failure in planning and strategy execution.
The Government has indicated that some of its plans may not be in place until next year. Given there has been 54 deaths since 2003, next year seems rather late.
On top of the planning shambles the Government has apparently ordered only enough of the anti-flu drug, Tamiflu, to cater for 20 per cent of the population. While these are orders, the bulk of the doses have not been delivered; Only sufficient supplies for 1.7 % of the population are actually on hand, according to some reports.
The EU and Australia have taken strenuous efforts to set up 24/7 surveillance centres, primary care plans and dedicated hospitals.
They are taking it seriously - Annette King is hiding (as usual) behind her Health Ministry. She needs to take leadership. Spin won't keep the flu away.

Rainbow Bay is a bay, beach and locality at the southern end of Coolangatta, Queensland's most southerly coastal town.
The bay was originally but unofficially known as Shark/Sharks Bay. In 1925, the Point Danger Progress Association requested the name be changed to Rainbow Bay. It is believed that this was the name originally given to the bay by Captain Henry John Rous, who surveyed the Point Danger area in 1828 in the HMS Rainbow, a 28 gun frigate.
Today, Rainbow Bay is one of the most popular beaches for families, due it's beautiful and peaceful setting. It is a fully patrolled beach.
For the surfer, Snapper Rocks is one of the best places on the Coast to surf.
Rainbow Bay is within an easy, flat walk to Coolangatta and Tweed Heads so you can enjoy the best of both towns.

Super Monaco GP! Same board as Afterburner, one of the classic late 80′s sprite scaling boards. Very complex hardware with 2 68000 CPU's + Z80 for audio. When powered up this board would flash the screen for a second and then sit dead on a black screen. Logic probe showed the main 68000 was getting a clock signal but there was no activity on any data or address pin. The probe also revealed the reset logic was working fine, and there was a burst of data activity for a second or less at boot up before it stopped.
A stopped 68000 usually means there is a bus error or illegal instruction and the CPU has crashed, usually asserting the bus error hardware pin. In this case the BERR pin didn't show anything. I suspected the software was actually issuing a STOP command and indeed when I fired up the MAME debugger I found all the exception handlers jumped to STOP routines. So the theory was the program started to run, crashed, then the CPU was told to stop. The most common reason for a crash would be bad RAM – because as soon as the program tries to return from a subroutine, a bad value would be returned by the RAM (most likely 0xffffffff) which would trigger a bus error for unaligned access.
Piggybacking known good RAM didn't help so I decided to write a little diagnostic ROM that would print RAM values to screen. The program itself is very careful not to use any RAM of course – so no subroutines, just logic instructions and static branches. After trying the program out in MAME, I first needed to modify the board to run on 27c010 eproms – rather than the 27c1000 pinout eproms my programmer didn't support. Jumpers/resistors can be toggled to switch between the two different types (see Afterburner schematics for full details). The program worked first time – which was great because it proved the main CPU was running as well as the palette and text layer hardware.
Running the real hardware side by side against MAME showed a couple of bad bits in the 0×280000 range – which according to MAME memory map is actually the sub CPU RAM. I used the logic probe to short pins on the RAM chips to identify what physical chip matched that address range and then piggybacked the known good RAM on top. The values flickered and changed which is a good sign the RAM was bad (the flickering being the two RAM chips arguing over the correct value). The RAM (TMM2063@IC31) was removed and replaced and the board worked 100% again.

There is perhaps no more fitting finale to a long legal career than a judgeship. Ascending the bench after years appearing before it can bring power, respect, personal satisfaction, reasonable hours and, often, free parking. There have traditionally been few steps beyond:
But across the country — and in New York, more than most places — being a judge has in recent years come with one big negative: the salary. New York judges have not had a raise in 12 years, making the state one of the more extreme examples of a growing pay gap nationally between judges and other professionals, including partners at top law firms, who can earn 10 times the salary of the judge before whom they are arguing a case.
Now, for the first time in memory, judges are leaving the bench in relatively large numbers — not to retire, but to return to being practicing lawyers. Turnover in New York has increased rapidly in the last few years: nearly 1 in 10 judges are now leaving annually, a new study shows.
New York, as the state with what officials say is the longest judicial pay freeze, is the focus of a national debate about whether controversial rulings, court corruption and politicized judicial campaigns have so eroded support for courts that there is no constituency for increasing judges' pay. "I never expected to get rich as a judge, but I never expected to get poor either," said Robert A. Spolzino, who resigned as an appellate judge in
Judges in New York were the best paid nationally in the 1970s. But their salaries now are ranked 46th in the country when measured by the cost of living, according to the National Center for State Courts.
Critics contend that some judges do not work very hard and that many of them would never earn the profession's top pay. Eric A. Posner, a
"The absence of raises," he wrote in a recent e-mail exchange, "is a problem only if judges weren't overpaid to begin with."
Indeed, in a series of interviews, judges acknowledged that it could be difficult to make the case for a judicial pay raise in hard economic times. Justices of New York's highest-level trial court, the State Supreme Court, make $136,700. The chief judge of the state makes $156,000. Across the country, "there is a devaluing of the job that judges do," so there is little pressure to pay them well, said Seth S. Andersen, the executive director of the American Judicature Society in Des Moines, which studies and evaluates judicial systems.
Current and former judges described the pressures they felt in fending off offers and trying to pay for
"It's very heady when you walk into a room and everybody rises, people laugh at your jokes," he said.
Emily Jane Goodman, a State Supreme Court justice in Manhattan, said the practical effect of her stalled pay was that she had to sell a summer home in
"Here I am," Justice Goodman said, "in a position where I'm working to achieve justice for other people and I don't feel that I'm experiencing justice."
On one of his final days at the Appellate Division on Madison Avenue, Justice McGuire, who was once chief counsel to Gov.
"I tormented myself for the longest period of time about whether I should go, because I love the work," he said. "And then I realized, 'I've got no choice. The only responsible thing for my family is to go.' " Justice McGuire, 57, has two children, ages 5 and 3.
In New York, the financial pressures are particularly intense because top law firms compete to hire lawyers — and, now, judges. In response to questions for this article, the state's Office of Court Administration studied judicial attrition. The analysis found that in 1999, 48 of the 1,300 state judges left their positions. Last year, 110 judges left, with the number of departures increasing sharply over the last five years.
New York's chief judge,
The State Legislature's failure to increase judicial pay since 1999 was the subject of bitter political disputes and court battles before legislation passed in November creating a commission on judicial salaries. It is expected to decide by September whether state judicial salaries will increase and by how much.
Nationally, many judicial salaries have lagged behind the pay not only of top lawyers, but also of some academics, school administrators, elected officials and even some courthouse employees. In
The chief justice of the
The salaries of state trial judges nationally rose 34 percent to a median of $116,100 in the decade ending in 2005. But during the same period, the median partners' share of profits at large law firms jumped 141 percent to $957,500, Roy A. Schotland, an emeritus law professor at Georgetown, showed in a law review article. In an interview, Professor Schotland, who studies state courts, said that, nationally, stagnant pay was "the single most important problem for our courts."Continue reading the main story

Spartans like to be healthy; it is part of the plan of bettering yourself. As you move from the couch to the course, one of the biggest things you do to become a better athlete is looking at what you put into your body, when you do so, and how much. Many times, Spartans like to consider recovery or ways to get over a common cold. How do I get more vitamins and minerals in my diet to aid in overall health and recovery? Well, we have a handful of health home remedies that you should consider implementing in your diet to get these advantages.
Want to find a way to step up your game and improve your overall health? Look in your cupboard or fridge: there are likely items that you can use that are cost effective, do not require a degree in nutrition to understand, do not follow any particular diet or plan, and will immediately provide gains in your health. These three items are lemon, apple cider vinegar, and baking soda.
Each of these items will help in your nutrition plan, help aid in recovery, or set up a foundation of good health within your body.
Lemons are one of the cheapest and easiest to get and use items to provide a magnitude of benefits. They are refreshing, nourishing, and packed with vitamins such as vitamins C, B6, A, and E. They also contain phosphorus, folate, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, copper, and calcium. You can also find magnesium, iron, potassium, and zinc in lemons, which are all commonly depleted within the body during endurance events. Multi-vitamin? Not me: I just squeeze half a lemon in some water and I am good to go. Lemons are also low in calories, about 25–30 calories for an entire lemon. Lemon is also super simple to get, use, and ingest. Sounds too good to be true! Another interesting fact is that the lemon peel can be used as well, and it too contains a wealth of health benefits.
It should be mentioned that you should not overdo using lemons because they are acidic and can cause upset stomach and problems for your teeth. So use lemons every so often and make sure you do not take too much to cause these issues.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is another cheap, easy-to-get home remedy that allows you to gain health benefits through its use. Putting about a teaspoon in eight ounces of water daily can help to maintain blood sugar levels, promote weight loss, and improve health. Although it does not contain dozens of vitamins and minerals, it does have potassium and is low in sodium, both of which are helpful in recovery when doing endurance events. It is also good for when you want to do a "cleanse" of your body which helps to reboot your system, removing waste, fat, and impurities from your body. It can also help reduce inflammation. This is another commonly used item that can provide a wealth of benefits when used as part of your nutrition plan.
It, like lemons, also has side effects. First, just like lemons, do not take too much. If you take it on an empty stomach it is said to provide the best benefit especially if mixed with a little honey (another great, cheap, easy home remedy!) to help make it taste better. Although it can aid in digestion, it is not suggested that you overdo it. Apple cider vinegar is acetic acid, and if you are diabetic, taking too much can cause low blood sugar. As with any nutrition plan change, make sure you consider everything before you implement a new change to your diet.
It should also be mentioned that you should purchase apple cider vinegar that contains "the mother," an active bacterial culture, which is what provides many of benefits covered here.
Baking Soda
First and foremost, this is probably one of the oldest known remedies and was commonly used a as way to help with cold or sickness recovery or indigestion, and which provides many benefits. When mixed with apple cider vinegar, it is said to have the ability to reduce inflammation and create an alkaline environment in your body. You can do this with lemon as well.
So, are there any cons? First off, this is not something you take every day multiple times a day all the time. This is cycled in. It is best used when you have a cold, are starting to feel sick, have nausea, and occasionally for the health benefits. If you want to take it as a way to reduce inflammation, you should do so occasionally and not ingest large amounts of baking soda daily. Too much baking soda will cause problems such as high sodium, cramps, and possibly increased stomach acid production. You should cycle in baking soda occasionally to get the benefits, but not overdo it!
Lemon, apple cider vinegar, and baking soda can be mixed and all be taken on an empty stomach, but heed the warnings in this article first before starting this regimen. Please do not make any changes to your diet without consulting a health professional if you feel you are at risk or have diabetes or other health concerns. As you can see, many of the health benefits being discussed are to reduce inflammation. When you work out, do endurance events, or tax your body, you create inflammation. Using these home remedies can help, but there are side effects that should be considered. Lastly, remember that you should not overdo anything, but if you incorporate some of these ideas smartly, you can and will see health benefits that can aid in recovery as well as keeping a high level of general health. Aroo!

What to do if the double dip is real?
It is gradually dawning on the global political elite that the economics they believe in do not work. They do not work, in particular, in the current crisis and continued pursuance of present policy is threatening a double dip recession (Morgan Stanley, the Bank of England's Andy Haldane), a 1930s-style monetary collapse (Fed dissenter Richard Fisher), Eurozone breakup (Nouriel Roubini) and political mayhem (Jeff Sachs).
Free market economics caused the crisis and the rough-hewn Keynesian stimulus policies improvised in 2009 are failing to get us out of it. So, not particularly gradually, but rather with the urgency of Gerard Depardieu on an airplane, there is a sudden rush towards more radical solutions.
Haldane, in a Bank of England discussion paper today, compares the situation with the one facing Roosevelt in 1938, when Congress forced him to rein in stimulus, prompting a double dip: he ripped up bank regulations and forced banks to LEND. Policy "went macroprudential" and the recovery took off.
Fisher, as quoted in an excellent post by the FT's Isabella Kaminska, says:
"Non monetary factors, not monetary policy, are retarding the willingness and ability of job creators to put to work the liquidity that we have provided… Those with the capacity to hire American workers - small businesses as well as large, publicly traded or private - are immobilised. Not because they lack entrepreneurial zeal or do not wish to grow; not because they can't access cheap and available credit.
"Rather, they simply cannot budget or manage for the uncertainty of fiscal and regulatory policy... According to my business contacts, the opera buffa of the debt ceiling negotiations compounded this uncertainty, leaving business decision makers frozen in their tracks."
Jeff Sachs in today's FT flays the global rich for their capture of fiscal policy, condemns the outcome of globalisation and issues a plea for a policy u-turn:
"The path to recovery now lies not in a new housing bubble, but in upgraded skills, increased exports and public investments in infrastructure and low-carbon energy. Instead, the US and Europe have veered between dead-end, consumption-oriented stimulus packages and austerity without a vision for investment. Macroeconomic policy has not only failed to create jobs, but also to respond to basic social values too."
There is, as the elite stare out of windows of business class at the blue skies and do some thinking, something big starting to change. Let's dissect it into bullet points:
•By deciding to bankrupt states instead of banks we avoided a Great Depression
•But some states can no longer take the strain
•The recovery is faltering in the West: in the US, UK and Eurozone. It could easily become a double dip
•Monetary policy has been now, publicly, tweaked towards semi-permanent QE and zero interest rates (except in the Eurozone where as Sachs points out policy is in the hands of dysfunctional institution and has basically had to go free form)
•There is no more money for fiscal stimulus
•The option of inflating away debts, public and private, is being quietly pursued but its impact is to flatten consumer demand
•Thus those who dream of a return to consumer and house-price led growth are being disabused.
There is, in short, a zombified situation well known to small businesses and households. Nobody wants to spend, or invest because they cannot predict the future.
Large numbers of businesses are being kept alive because banks cannot afford to declare them busted, or the liabilities rush onto the books. Ditto for many households - Haldane points out 35% of unsecured debt in the UK is with zombie households.
Fisher of the Fed is pointing to the same problem: businesses are awash with cash but - as all orthodox monetary economists know from reading Milton Friedmann - this can become a bad thing (hat tip here to the FT's Kaminska - if you can get behind the pay wall she's uploaded Friedman & Schwarz's graphs). In 1933 the build-up of unspent cash in the economy, as the money supply fell, provoked the final crisis.
So what to do?
It is strange to see Jeff Sachs, the man who unleashed neo-liberalism onto East Europe, calling for a global version of the New Deal, but that is effectively what is emerging as the option.
To reorient tax policy to protecting the poor, raising their skills, focusing the investment flow towards green energy etc you would have to do something approaching a political revolution in the US: because from K street to Capitol Hill politics is set up to deliver the opposite.
The Bank of England's Andy Haldane prefers the realm of the possible - the new boss of financial stability policy in the UK is musing publicly about a "macro prudential" intervention into banking policy - effectively encouraging the banks to become more risk prone, throwing off fear-induced aversion to lending.
But this rather runs counter to the wave of regulation being forced onto the banks (let alone the proposed Financial Transaction Tax That Will Save The Eurozone). And since Haldane is still speaking the Bank of England's riddle language, where nothing is ever concrete, we will have to wait and see.
One interpretation is that he has given up the idea of forcing a major shift in power between banks and states (Andy Haldane, Pittsburgh 2009) in favour of forcing the banks to once again act like Masters of the Universe.
What everybody is toying with is the idea of a big, government-led structural change within capitalism: whereby the priorities are re-oriented so that private sector growth does not return at the price of impoverishing developed world consumers and workers.
At times like this I always come back to Hyman Minsky, the unorthodox neo-Keynesian economist who predicted the crash and whose work contains the kernel of what a 21st Century structural change might look like.
Minsky, who has followers on both the left and right, argued: socialise the banking system, rip up regulation for the private sector non-financial economy so it can grow, and abolish welfare, making the state the employer of last resort but forcing the unemployed to work.
By socialise, he meant: reduce banks to the basic function of collecting and lending the savings of the population, in a variety of non-speculative businesses. Today that could be mutuals, nationalised banks, Landesbanks, credit unions etc. The difference between this and Glass Steagall is that you actively discourage the existence of a financial speculation sector.
We have come to call the crash of 2008 the "Minsky Moment" - but in hindsight it wasn't. Not until something big goes bust, and millions of people lose their money, is it really a Minsky Moment. Everything policymakers have done since 2008 has been designed to delay the reckoning.
So why is the thinking beginning to change?
One of the most brilliant observations in Alistair Cooke's memoir Six Men concerns the difference he observed in Edward VIII's mien, with and without access to intelligence briefing. Cooke wrote:
"Daily possession of 'the papers' is, in fact, the main and most deceptive perquisite of high office". (Cooke A, Six Men, 1977)
Without them, Edward would fume as they hustled him onto a plane at the outbreak of war: "We know damn all about what is happening."
That is the situation for most of us today. I interpret the sudden flurry of blue skies thinking as a sign that those who do get "daily possession of the papers" are bracing themselves for more trouble in the autumn - banking trouble, real-economy downturn trouble and political protest trouble.

no rice
May 5, 2011 Leave a comment
since it's the summer months and people are getting ready to show off their beach bodies, why not attempt to join the crowd? i've decided to skip rice all together, i've avoided rice during dinner for quite a while now so why not avoid it during lunch as well?
so far, i've been "coping". especially with the yummy "lutong bahay" viands here in the office canteen. can't see any results yet since i'm on my 5th day of avoiding rice. so far, i've been experiencing slight withdrawals and cravings but i have to resist. what i do, i stock up on more fluids, especially water. but i'm quite enjoying lunch since i get to eat more veggies (hello chopsuey!) and fish. i don't consume meat (beef & chicken) that much, since fish dishes have been more appealing to me lately.
i'm not ready yet to weigh myself for the fear of being disappointed still looms. we'll see after 2 weeks (our upcoming family beach trip).
i'm also looking forward to wearing my two piece suits again. hopefully by that time, my tummy has significantly decreased in flabby-ness. but hey,i'm still willing to risk it since this belly has held 3 precious kids for 9 months.
we'll see how this goes. if this sacrifice goes well i may have to skip rice completely. 🙂
good luck to me!
