DonnieDid.com..........My Adventures, My Philosophies and My Perspective
I woke up on the sun deck feeling nauseas probably brought on by the diesel fumes I was
breathing in. I got up from the lounger and looked out at our location discovering we were in a bay surrounded by many other
boats, some of them old and dilapidated. We were in Bahía Academy (Academy Bay) in the city of Puerto Ayora on the southeast side
of Santa Cruz Island. Today's activities included viewing the twin sink holes known as the Gemelos, a huge lava tube and the
Darwin Foundation.
Not feeling well I went down to the dining room and ate some fruit for breakfast hoping it would settle my stomach. It seemed
to help a little, but I was still feeling a bit under the weather. Regardless, I went up and got myself ready for the day. I came
a long ways and did not want to miss any of the sites here in the enchanted islands.
When I was dressed and ready to go we got the call to go to the pangas. We would be making a dry landing at the main dock of
Puerto Ayora where would board a bus to take us into the highlands. En route to the dock we were navigating through the bay
zigzagging in and out around a littering of boats. I seemed to be getting sicker by the minute having to breathe in the fumes
from the burning diesel all around me. I tried to filter the smell by breathing through the fabric of my shirt, but my stomach
continued to turn.
At the dock there were several sea lions lazily lounging both in empty boats tied at the dock and on the dock itself. In the
town there were a lot of people strolling about. This was a busy little city here in the Galápagos, the main port and largest
population in the archipelago. Once everybody had transferred from the panga to the dock we made our way to the other end where
our bus was waiting. We would get to explore the town after lunch, but at this time we had to quickly board the bus to keep
schedule and see the sites that had been planned for us this morning.
Our first stop would be a farm where the
giant tortoise (Geochelone elephantopus)
is raised and protected. I was sitting in the
very back row of the bus observing the landscape as we made progress to the farm. On Santa Cruz there was much more vegetation
growing than on the other islands we had visited. There were varying trees, grasses and weeds that would appear normal in such a
setting back on the mainland. Here it seemed out of placed after having seen the vegetation of the other islands.
Santa Cruz is one of the original islands inhabited earlier in the 20th century and remains the most populated (by humans)
island in the archipelago. Because of the human activity on the island and the importation of agricultural crops and even
decorative trees, shrubs and flowers, many foreign plant species now exist. Although these plants were innocently brought in to
help sustain human life and to spruce up inhabitant's homes, they can and do reproduce outside of the intended purpose.
Many of these introduced plants have established themselves in the wild and are competing with native species for resources.
The endemic species having never encountered the foreign species have not developed strategies in which to deal with their foreign
competitors and in some cases are now facing possible extinction. As with the animal and marine life on the island chain, plant
life is also facing dire hardships due to the human activity on the islands.
We finally reached our destination, the tortoise farm, and the others began to get off to go view the giant reptiles. However,
I decided to remain on the bus as the drive itself heightened the nausea feeling I had been having all morning. Janine, thinking
of my predicament, left me with a gallon size zip-lock bag in case of emergency. Lucky for me she did because ten minutes after
everyone had left I had to make use of it. I was happy I was alone so that nobody had to witness my little tragedy.
I felt better afterwards, but had to find a place to dispose of the bag and its contents. Looking out the window I saw a lined
garbage can a short distance from the bus, so I took it there to rid myself of it. Shortly thereafter my companions returned to
the bus and we left the farm in favor of our next stop, the twin sink holes known as Gemelos.
The Gemelos are located near the village of Santa Rosa on the central part of the island. These two pit craters are around 30
meters (99 ft) deep and are separated by the road we arrived on. It is thought that the two sink holes were formed by collapsing
roofs of magma chambers. Given that they are in the humid tropical zone, they are now overgrown with vegetation including vines
that hang on the steep walls created by the collapse.
From the overlook I could see Cerro Crocker (Mount Crocker), the original volcanic cone that formed the islands when it was over
the hot spot. Higher in altitude Cerro Crocker is covered by the Scalesia forest that is fed by the garua. This is the highest
point on Santa Cruz at 864 meters (2,835 ft).
After viewing the Gemelos we once again boarded the bus and made our last stop of the morning at a lava tube. Again, I was
feeling sick so I remained on the bus. This time I did not vomit and I did not have to wait too long as the others were in the
lava tube for about 15 minutes. The lava tube was only about 20 meters (66 ft) long and 10 meters (33 ft) in diameter, large
enough for a subway train. I did see some photos of the lava tube taken by my peers, and it did not seem as if I missed anything
too over the top.
Finally, the bus headed back towards Puerto Ayora where we met the pangas that returned us to the Letty. I was more than happy
to get back given the way I was feeling. Once on the boat Dr. Seville gave me some Pepto Bismol. I took the recommended dose and
then went to my cabin to sleep. I was probably experiencing a bout with sea-sickness, but will never know for sure. But I skipped
the remainder of the day's activities including lunch and dinner - a sure sign I was not feeling well.
While I slept the rest of the group returned to Puerto Ayora for some shopping as well as a trip to the Darwin Research Center.
I had been looking forward to going to the DRC, but if I had to miss anything I was happy for it to be the DRC. I would much
rather see the animals and plants in their natural settings. However, I did miss out on seeing the
land iguanas (Conolophus subcristatus or pallidus),
an animal we would not have a chance to view in the wild. I also missed out on seeing the giant
tortoises, but I would get to see them when we visited San Cristobal Island in a couple of more days.

Artist Creates Self-Portraits On Different Drugs, And The Results Are Insane (Photos) In what could be considered the craziest/most creative drug experiment ever, artist Bryan Lewis Saunders pushed himself to the limit when he decided to take a different drug every day for a few weeks.

Some of you might not know, but AwesomeRobo was founded around the time that I was working at Runic Games as a concept artist for Torchlight 1 and 2. The team was small, ambitions were astronomically high, and the project turned out to be one of the most challenging (Yet ultimately rewarding) experiences in my career so far.
I left Runic halfway through Torchlight 2 to pursue other opportunities, but in the 2 or so years at the company I must have cranked out a few hundred concepts to accommodate the breakneck schedule of creating an epic game with a fifth of the team size typically associated with such a production.

She was considered an outlier, a one-time anomaly.But similar cases are emerging all over the world, and Semenya, who was banned from competition for 11 months while authorities investigated her sex, is back, vying for gold.Semenya and other women like her face a complex question: Does a female athlete whose body naturally produces unusually high levels of male hormones, allowing them to put on more muscle mass and recover faster, have an "unfair" advantage?

Emily & Ben Get Married!
Welcome to the post of Emily & Ben's winter wedding!
They got married in early December 2012!
Photos by
I started this blog post with the photo below....
You see this isn't just an AWESOME photo. It has a meaning.
Ben's family lost their home last year in the February 2012 Tornadoes along with many families in California, KY and the surrounding areas. This barn in the photo on Ben's family farm was the only barn ( and it was the oldest) left standing out of all of their barns. I remember when these events occurred. So many people in the area pulled together to help each other. It was such an emotional time for all of these families, but looking back, they can cherish the love and kindness from family and friends who helped them so much. Time heals many things. December came and their 1st born, Ben, married his love, Emily and these photos below
show how special there day was!
The dress!
The beautiful bride, Emily!
You don't see this everyday in California, Ky!
First Glances!
Here's Ben!
Love this photo!
Not only is the photo so sweet, Emily & Ben are honestly one of the sweetest couples ever! They are so kind and I could talk to them for hours!
Emily's Winter Bouquet included Escimo Roses, White Callas, Blue Delphinium, and Navy Blue Privet Berry to give the winter look!
The Girls! Navy is truly a favorite color of mine!
The Guys!
Sibling Love!
Love these winter barn photos!
What a great photo of Emily & Ben!
Up close with the flowers! I love the berries!
Ben & Emily got married at Sts. Peter and Paul Church in California, KY.
At the top of the hill where the church is, the view is amazing!
Look at that landscape!
This is one of my favorites of Emily & her bouquet!
Emily & Ben's reception was at the Fort Thomas Community Center! They went to Disney World on their honeymoon! Look at their adorable hats!
I can't wait to go to Disney! I have never been there!
I just had to show this precious photo of Emily and her dad!
Ben & Emily, I meant what I said above about you both being so kind and so sweet! I know life will bring you so much goodness along with many blessings! I always tell newlyweds the advice that I was given in a card that I will never forget: "Keep God Close and always be each others' best friend!" As simple as that is, it meant so much to me so I would love to pass on to you!

If you are reading this, you have taken an interest in this James person. Hard to believe but commendable. You have come to the correct place for discovery.
Candidate's Statement (A Polyhistorical Analysis)
I'm not like other boys. I'm guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship. It's a lifetime guarantee.
I cycle. I play soccer. I walk incessantly. I write. I paint. I photograph. I build things out of wood. I play guitar. I have a piano and a bunch of random percussion instruments.
I have a small recording studio. Pocket-sized.
I worked in a sheet metal plant. I worked as a bicycle messenger. I have been in and out of college far too long yet not quite long enough. I did manage to take two Bachelor's degrees—one in The History and Philosophy of Science (with a minor in Architecture) and a second degree in Philosophy. Graduated with distinction (honors) in both degree programs, and my honors thesis compared comic book superheroes to Nietzsche's Übermensch.
I have not traveled anywhere near as much as I'd like, but I've been to New York, Boston, New Orleans, and all over the West coast. I visited Las Vegas finally as an adult and was mostly unimpressed. The furthest I have traveled is Australia. I spent a month in Valencia, Spain and there did eat paella. I also spent a month in the South of France, and there did eat everything. I want to go everywhere all the time.
I love to eat and to cook, but I'm not ever going to be a fat man.
I stole a car when I was in high school and—for the most part—got away with it. Took it for a joy ride (without yet having a driver's license), mangled it a bit, and returned it still running (though a little rougher for the wear with some broken windows, scratched paint, dents, &c).
I have never really hurt anyone (except the mis-hap with a broken heart here or there). Excluding of course my brother who I tormented mercilessly in my youth. Sorry, dear brother. It won't happen again.
I have more cameras than I care to count. I own a couple of SLR's and a dSLR. I also own a Kodak Eastman 120mm billows camera from circa 1910; it still works and I can still get film for it. I am not bothered by the movement from film to digital, hordes of bad photography not withstanding. I also own at least three point-and-shoot digitals and phones with cameras. I have been shooting photography since my dad taught me how to use his 35mm SLR when I was maybe five years old.
I love to watch movies. I show movies in my back yard. I watch all sorts of movies: good movies, bad movies, art films, you name it. If a film maker puts everything into a film it's good no matter how bad it is, but I get really pissed when I'm watching a film where more money was spent than time and the experience becomes akin to fondling a turd: you're not sure at first what you have but when you recognize it the fury is untetherable.
I have never caught a fish. Not that this has been a lifelong dream, but I have made a fair showing in a vaguely interested sort of way. Many crabs and shrimp and mussels and clams though.
I find procrastination a horrible infectious disease and yearn daily for the cure. Probably find it tomorrow.
I can program in Perl and Javascript and HTML (who can't?). I script in bash. I dabble in C++. I worked for Amazon.com when it was still cool (get in line) where I met some really great people.
I worked in a pizza place, ate pizza every day, and never got tired of pizza. That is to say, I love pizza and love does not fade.
I have a wine cellar—a couple racks and shelves in an unfinished basement—with some great wines. It shares the space with my servers. They enjoy similar environments.
My favorite liqueur is Eau de Vie de Poir. So good it's not worth going into here. Look it up. My next favorite liqueur is Booker's (single batch bourbon). It goes really well with Tillamook's Mudslide. I've made limoncello a few times. I'd really like to make Eau de Vie.
I used to have a cat, then another cat, then some fish, but now all I have is a bunch of neglected plants and finally another cat. I raise a great cat.
On principle, I avoid Microsoft and AOL and Apple whenever possible (AOwho?).
I study and speak—in descending order of useful ability—English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
I have hundreds or even thousands of CD's but have managed to relegate them to crates in storage through the glorious magic of FLAC.
I have a gaggle of computers and all the crap that goes with them. I own two domains and I run this site. So, yes; around here it's all my fault.
I run a program I call Linux for Anybody where I take donated computers, build them with Ubuntu, and give them to folks who may not otherwise be able to afford a computer.
I have done audio/video installations (home theaters and such). As a result, I have seen some wicked-cool home theaters.
I have broken four bones in my life—right hand twice, left foot, and one of my collar bones (as a child I fell backwards down a flight of stairs while playing my new tambourine)—and more recently I cut the tip off my finger while julienning bell peppers. (It required a trip to the hospital but you can hardly tell now.) Once while running in the dark I ran over a reel of barbed wire and gashed the soft part of my foot open on rusty metal. Can't find any scars from that though. More recently I stepped on the tines of a garden rake, and that has left a nice lump of a scar on the bottom of my foot.
I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables when they are available. I used to go walking with me mum in Eastern Washington picking and eating wild asparagus.
I keep my fingernails trimmed and cleaned in case of who-knows-what, but I don't clean my bath often enough.
I have no inhibitions, and you'd better not come between me and my chocolate.
Wind me up and watch me wiggle.
The Many Paths to Information
Ok, so there is now some number of social bullshit sites out there which roughly corresponds to the number of atoms in my ass, and though I do not have a very large ass atoms are veryvery small. I also belong to some decent forums.

Bebo – Seems silly but here it is anyway. Turns out it was silly.
Facebook – The book where faces live.
flickr – Everyone uses this one for photographs.
Friendster – I take friendship seriously, fiendship even more seriously.
LinkedIn – A network for Net work.
LiveJournal – An empty blog with a link back to The Ink Wells.
ModelMayhem – A photography site for human-like photography.
MotivationProject – An IT social site.
MySpace – I'm a MySpaceCadet. Apparently.
PicasaWeb – Google's photo hosting site.
Patreon – Send me money site.
Plaxo – Some sort of professional connection site.
ReverbNation – Not exactly sure but that it's for sharing recordings. And they send me lots of useless e-mail.
TED – Like YouTube for intellectuals.
Ubuntu Forums – My current Linux distribution. Great community.
Ubuntu Brainstorm – A kind of white-board for Ubuntu development.
UseFilm – My preferred photo posting site.
YouTube – A little mini movie madness.
Zoints – Not sure, really. Has something to do with a BMW forum I use.

Medical School Secondary: The "Need to Know" InfoA Series of Essays The medical school secondary application is a series of 3-5 (sometimes more!) essays that each medical school requests from you after they receive your primary application. Predictable and Unpredictable Prompts Many of the secondary essay prompts are used year after year. You're very likely to see most medical schools send you the "Why our school?" prompt, or the "Tell us about a challenging situation you faced" prompt. Although many of the prompts are predictable and fairly straight-forward, sometimes you'll be caught off guard by surprise prompts. Be Competitive: Turn in Your Essays ASAP A common reaction to the secondary is to procrastinate and delay the writing process for weeks, or even months because post-AMCAS burnout sets in. Don't delay! The sooner medical schools see your secondaries, the sooner they'll make a decision about your application. You want to be among the first premeds to submit your completed essays. Make Sure Not to Do This
- Repeat ideas from your personal statement without enhancing them
- Wait to write your essays
- Introduce something new and surprising about yourself that can be interpreted in a negative way (I was suicidal once, I was chronically depressed, etc.)

When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it." Genesis 28:16
In many ways, I think Jacob was completely unprepared for this "adventure". He was in a strange place and far away from the certainties and support of home and family. Like Jacob, I felt unprepared to take care of my mom after her stroke. This was a place of uncertainty for me. The original plan was for my dad and mom to move in with us. When he passed away it felt too soon. We needed his wisdom, we needed that special husband's tenderness only he could provide for mom. After dad's death, we witnessed her dementia steadily grow worse. I remember clearly how distressing that was. There were many times I felt the need to talk about what we were going through. I did talk to God in my private prayers, a comfort indeed. God also provided a precious friend who was dealing with a similar struggle with whom I could share. Sometimes just knowing someone else is going through the same struggle makes it feel a bit less heavy. Sometimes hearing someone else tell their story, you feel your burden become lighter and easier to bear. Being the caregiver can get incredibly overwhelming emotionally and physically. It can add stress to your other relationships, with your husband or wife, and with your children. However, even when you are not aware of it, God is with you. He knows your heart and that you want to do your best by your loved one. He never told us we would be without trouble but assures us he is there with us every step of the way.
Genesis 28:16 says "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go". This is the story of Jacob as he flees from his brother Esau. When you read through the story you see that God watches closely over Jacob. Does trouble happen to him? It certainly does. God never promised a life without trouble, but he does promise strength, grace, and mercy as we follow him. The responsibility of taking care of someone who cannot care for themselves is guaranteed to bring trouble of one sort or another. For instance, your ability to just leave your house for an afternoon of shopping doesn't just happen. There comes a time, all too soon it seems when you cannot leave your loved one on their own for any length of time. Perhaps they have difficulty moving around. Perhaps they need a cane or walker. In our case, we felt it was very important to keep mom as active as possible and to bring her along wherever we went. She loved to go shopping, she loved picnics, she loved to travel. This involved quite a bit of extra planning. We carted around a scooter for mom which gave her the ability to go with us wherever we needed or wanted to go. She had severe arthritis which caused quite a bit of pain when she tried to walk very far. She also suffered from Parkinson's which made her movements unstable. We relied on the scooter when the distance was too far for her to walk. It was a bright shiny blue, her favorite color. I remember it often drew young boys to her side as they were quite fascinated with it. I imagine they thought it was a little mini motorcycle. Mom didn't mind, she enjoyed children and was quite ready to show it off. She would proudly show them the controls and how it worked.
In Genesis 28, later on in the chapter, Jacob makes a vow to God. In verse 20 he says, "If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I return safely to my father's household, then the Lord will be my God". There came a time when mom had a wonderful opportunity she would never have again. Her high school was having a 50th reunion. She had kept in touch over the years with her best friend who was planning on attending the reunion. My uncle, (mom's older brother) was also planning on attending. He very much wanted to give mom the opportunity to come along. He knew that mom was having difficulty with dementia, but felt sure we could come up with a plan so that she could go. The problem was we would have to let mom fly on her own to meet my Uncle in Kansas City. It was terrifying in many ways. We contacted the airline and gave our concerns. They assured us they would provide someone to get mom on and off the plane. We were able to book a non-stop flight which was essential. We were also able to obtain a wheelchair at the airport and put her into the hands of a very kind employee who helped settle her in the wheelchair and assure her that he would get her on the plane. We watched a bit nervous as he wheeled her away. We had given my Uncle explicit plane information so that he could meet her the minute she got off the plane. All we had to do now was wait, I have to admit anxiously, to hear that he had her safely in his care. The Lord was with her every step of that trip, just as he had been with Jacob. She landed safely and my Uncle was talking to me on the phone, nervousness in his voice as he watched for his sister. I still remember the relief in his voice as he spotted her being wheeled in his direction. They had a wonderful school reunion. Mom was overjoyed to see her best friend and was able to tell us a bit of her adventure. She and my Uncle were able to share in (as it turns out the last) a small reunion of their own. My mother was my Uncle's baby sister, he was very fond of her. Because of her dementia, it was a very scary decision to let her go but I am so very happy we did. I know also that God was watching over her every step of the way.
I have taken comfort and strength from the story of Jacob. He left the security and support of home. He was in a strange place. God kept his promise and was with Jacob every step of the difficult adventure. Being the caregiver is difficult. There are many challenges along the way. God is aware and watching over you. He knows your struggle and is there with strength and guidance.

Matthew 28 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Has Risen
28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
The Guards' Report
11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' 14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." 15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Matthew 28 New Living Translation (NLT)
The Resurrection
28 Early on Sunday morning,[a] as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you."
8 The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel's message. 9 And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there."
The Report of the Guard
11 As the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the leading priests what had happened. 12 A meeting with the elders was called, and they decided to give the soldiers a large bribe. 13 They told the soldiers, "You must say, 'Jesus' disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.' 14 If the governor hears about it, we'll stand up for you so you won't get in trouble." 15 So the guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told to say. Their story spread widely among the Jews, and they still tell it today.
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[b] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Get to Know "The Big Three" Core Exercises for a Healthy Spine
Most Canadians have experienced lower back pain or dysfunction at some stage in their lives. This nagging pain may have kept them from the activities they enjoy and affected their quality of life.
Safety and the Aging Workforce
Our working population is getting older. Since 2001, the proportion of workers over the age of 55 has spiked, and seems to still be on the rise.
Heart Health at SureHire
During the month of February, you may see friends, co-workers and fellow Canadians wearing red to promote Heart Health Month. This 28-day long month will help bring awareness to a disease that is the second leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 17.3 million deaths worldwide every year.
Hepatitis: Risk Factors, Symptoms, & Prevention
Hepatitis is known as a "silent disease" because symptoms may not appear until considerable damage to the liver has been done. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to lessen damage to the liver and can prevent you from spreading the virus to others unknowingly. Prevention of hepatitis is the key and, fortunately, there are many steps Canadians can take to protect themselves.
Asbestos Ban in the Works for 2018
The government of Canada has announced that it will be introducing a comprehensive ban on the use, production, and export of asbestos, the cancer-causing mineral that until recently was a commonly used building material. The substance has already been banned in around 50 countries worldwide, prompting Health Minister Jane Philpott to admit that the move toward a comprehensive asbestos ban is "long overdue."
Men's Health and Movember
Men are facing a "health crisis," dying too young and in large numbers from an array of mental and physical illnesses. The deadliest of these is prostate cancer, the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer among Canadian men.
AEDs at Work: Does your workplace have this life-saving device?
h3. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are an essential part of maintaining workplace safety. AED training is a required component in the Advanced First Aid course, and now more than ever employers are requiring first aid courses as a pre-requisite for employment. With so many lives at stake, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is committed to making AEDs as common as fire extinguishers in public places and to help more Canadians learn how easy they are to use. Installing an AED at work is one small step the employer can take toward preventing fatalities from cardiac arrest.
Crystalline Silica in the Workplace
Crystalline silica is becoming well-known for being a potential health hazard in jobsites across Canada. It is used extensively in many industrial applications because of its unique physical and chemical properties. Health concerns arise when silica-containing products are disturbed by grinding, cutting, drilling or chipping, creating respirable particulate. Silica, or silicon dioxide, is a naturally occurring material. In its crystalline form, it is commonly known as quartz, and is the earth's second-most common element. Silica is not on its face dangerous, but when disturbed can create silica "dust"particles which when inhaled can clog the lungs, making it difficult to process oxygen.
6 Ways to Promote Mental Health at Work
The Canadian Mental Health Association estimates that around one in every five Canadians will suffer from some form of mental illness in their lifetime, meaning that you almost definitely know someone at your workplace who is affected. Here's how to make work safer and more productive for those who suffer from mental illness.
Government Releases National Asbestos Inventory
Workplace health and safety advocates are celebrating after Public Services and Procurement Canada released its long awaited national asbestos inventory. The forty-page document contains a list of every government building in Canada that contains asbestos, and its release marks a victory for health and safety advocates across the country. However, advocates also say there is still work to be done: Denis St-Jean, national health and safety officer for the Public Service Alliance of Canada, points out that the list does not contain details about precisely where the dangerous materials are located, meaning that people are not being fully informed about the the risk.

Right, Roma? One more. Tear off and pass. And then... On the ladder they'll be going and then... Will be standing somewhere there. And then... But why isn't it kicking? Who's kicking there? Oh!

Now passed a little bit! We're playing tag! Zhan, everybody's two at a time. ― No. ― Yes. I'll play one more time and you will play two. But only Batman. ― Roma, can you pass this? ― Yes. ― Of course! ― Of course, I've passed this! ― Roma and I. Right? Then passed... ― Someone's batteries... ― Yours died. Died. How many times? What did you do to keep playing? Took them out, put them in, took them out, put them in. ― Look, how many batteries does he have? ― One. Roma, it's a costume. Oh I know.

Karl Rove to Testify in the Traitorgate Case Again? Fox Yawns & Shrugs & Lies
Reported by Melanie - October 10, 2005
If I got all my news from Your World w/Neil Cavuto, I would have no understanding of what the Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame/Traitorgate case is about (and don't tell me that's because Cavuto's program is about business, which it ain't). In the year I have covered Your World, there has been almost no mention of the case; no on-going short reports that I could piece together over time to paint a picture of what is happening. So, my ears perked up today when, at the end of a report about Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers, substitute host Terry Keenan asked Fox's Washington, D.C. reporter, Jim Angle, about Karl Rove.
Assume you have no good understanding of what's going on and then notice how void of information Keenan's question is: "And Jim, quickly changing gears here, to Karl Rove. He'll be making his fourth appearance before the grand jury probably later this week. What's the latest buzz, because that's pretty much all we have is rumor and innuendo coming out of those proceedings. But what's the latest buzz?"
What grand jury? What is it investigating? Angle doesn't say: "He had offered to go back to the grand jury after the testimony by Matt Cooper and was taken up on that. Some reports say he was summoned, as if he had never offered to do so. He offered to go back before the grand jury. And, there are, always, when you're talking about recollections that are two or three years old, there are going to be differing accounts... There are differing accounts, each of the individuals have had differing accounts from time to time... Judy Miller now has a new account that she has found in her notes... Things that old -- people often eventually recover things -- notes, references, even memories... And that's why he's going back and why others may go as well." (Angle's emphasis.)
Comment: Goodness! While we may not know what the grand jury's investigating, we definitely know Rove offered to testify again. What a good guy he must be, right? Angle reports as fact that, "each of the individuals have had differing accounts from time to time." How does he know that? He doesn't of course, but sneaking in that sweeping lie makes Rove's return trip look routine and no different than what "each" of the others have done. Finally, the way Angle downplays "differing accounts" and minimizes how people "eventually recover things," is amazing. If, say, Bill Clinton gave "differing accounts," because he "eventually recover[ed] things," he'd be tried and convicted on the spot.

ZTE Corporation
Headquarters: Shenzhen, China
Industry sector: Telecommunications equipment
The statistics are the most persuasive evidence of ZTE's commitment to intellectual property. After topping the tables as the world's number one Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) filer of 2012, it came in second in 2013, with over 2,000 applications filed – a trend which will doubtless continue in the future, given that it spent a staggering $1.2 billion on R&D last year alone. Its overarching objective is to obtain patents that align with its commercial strategy. Strict quality control procedures begin at the mapping stage, while the costs of administration and enforcement are controlled by portfolio integration and the abandonment of low-value patents. ZTE is also actively exploring the establishment of patent pools with other industry parties to streamline the licensing process and make technologies more accessible. The company's IP strength has given it significant leverage in disputes: a global cross-licensing settlement with Ericsson in 2012 – just eight months after Ericsson had sued it in the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy for patent infringement, receiving a countersuit in China in response – bears testament to its smart IP management.

Some of the more clever of you (or discussion board regulars) are already aware of this, but Simplyscripts has a podcast feed. currently the feed is limited to just audio performances of scripts found on the site.
We can be found on Podcast Alley and Podcast Ready and iTunes. You can also use iTunes Oneclick to subscribe or you can subscribe to our main feed here.
What is holding this feed up is folks like Pia and Wesley and Spencer who have graciously allowed me to put their iScripts into the SimplyScripts podcast feed.
I have also gotten permission from several other writers to showcase their work on SimplyScripts to have their work turned into an audio presentation. I've been sending out queries to my favoriate podcasters in the podcasting community to see if anyone is interested in performing a short script in exchange for advertising. I shoot out about one every three or four days. Thus far, not a lot of responses which means that either my email has gone into their spam folder or they think I'm completely insane. However, it is still early and my list of favorite podcasters is long. I'll keep you all uptodate on the progress. – Don

20 Celebrities Who Have Had Hair Transplants
Here's a look at some famous men who started to go bald but were able to prevent it with a little help. These handsome celebrity guys have a secret weapon in turning their worst hair into the best hair. There is never any way to be completely sure of how they grew hair back. We just have to assume that their path to baldness was aided by science, because most human beings don't lose hair and then miraculously get it back.
Why do famous celebs feel it necessary to have their hair? Is the fear that baldness makes us think about death? Could it be rooted in religion? There's that famous Old Testament story about Samson, whose major vulnerability was women and his hair. One of his enemies hired one of his women to cut his hair, because his hair was where all the strength was. Hairlessness becomes powerlessness.
Hollywood male stars who had hair transplants to cover their receding hairlines include Chris Martin, Matthew McConaughey, Mel Gibson, David Beckham, John Krasinski, and Jimmy Kimmel.
Hair transplants require serious surgery, but for many, it drastically improves their lives. There are different treatments, like hair plugs and actual transplants. It makes you wonder if you could start a business as a professional hair donor. You'd have to have long beautiful hair if you'd want to stick it onto actors, athletes, and musicians who look more like "after" pictures than "before." But if you don't, maybe you could find a market for non-famous baldies looking for hair.
Recent Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey hasn't always had those flowing locks. He had them in his youth, but by 1999 they started to fall out. Then before being crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2005, he regained that hair, which he still has today.(Source)

John Travolta's life is often shrouded in secrecy. He has settled out of court with a male masseuse that he allegedly sexually assaulted. He is a high-ranking official in the mysterious Scientology. And somehow, miraculously, his once-thinning head of hair is now just as full as it was during Saturday Night Fever. That one is least mysterious of all, as he likely got a hair transplant.

Mel Gibson has been known for his hair. Think about those early roles in Mad Max and Braveheart. Around the time his career started to go downhill, so did the quality of his hair. He turned it all around with an alleged hair transplant. He still stars in movies like The Beaver, but now his hair looks pretty good for a man his age!(Source)

Bono has no last name, and he was on the verge of having no hair. Luckily for him, those two things are not mutually exclusive. The U2 frontman was able to deal with his hair like any celebrity would: he got an awesome hair transplant! He now has a perfect head of hair to wow fans and government officials at charity events.(Source)

"Always remember your Focus determines your Reality" – George Lucas
The past 16 years have taught me how powerful our thoughts are in the healing journey.
This is not to minimize Crohn's disease, leukemia or immunodeficiency because they are very real conditions that require medical attention. But I have learned, first hand, how much influence our thoughts have over our health.
These days I am focusing on what my immune system is capable of and how strong I can get instead of thinking about deficiency.
Staying in the moment, visualizing health and speaking peaceful words of wholeness over my body have become healing tools I use regularly.
And while I know how to do these things, while I know they work and they help me stay well, I fail to do them consistently.
This life stuff is hard. You know it is too. It can be incredibly messy and burdensome in ways we did not imagine possible. And whatever burden you bear, it can sneak up and get the best of you no matter how strong your faith or mental fortitude.
March was one of those months for me. I caught an infection and while it was certainly not the sickest I have ever been, I felt like giving up.
Since I am allergic to the traditional medical treatment for immunodeficiency, my choice to prevent infection is to rely on lifestyle and a nutrient dense diet. When I got sick in March all I could see was a concrete gray wall in front of me with no path forward. I was grief-stricken, depressed and felt hopeless.
Gratefully my oncologist and one of the Physician's Assistants from my Primary Care Doctor's office recognized that I was at the giving up stage. They worked with me to develop some new strategies to try to boost my immune system which are outside of the box of traditional medicine.
They started me on Bovine Colostrum which is rich in immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins are the part of my immune system that are deficient from years of chemotherapy. I am allergic to the medical supplement for immunoglobulin deficiency which is derived from plasma. However, I tolerate the Bovine Colostrum without any difficulties. I have been taking it for a month and my body is so much stronger.
Over the past month, I have been able to go out and socialize more than I have in the past 2-1/2 years. And it has been so much fun! The Hubs and I are enjoying things we used to take for granted like easy days at restaurants, live music and even drinks at sidewalk cafes without serious concern.
Last March I allowed fear to trump hope. One of the most harmful things fear does is that it skews our perspective.
Ironically, once I regained my sense of hope a picture from a year ago popped up in my Facebook memories. My father had taken the photo of us celebrating my 44th birthday. It was a hard and sad birthday because I had just come through the allergic reaction to the IVIG treatment.
When I saw the picture from a year ago and compared it to this year's birthday picture I was reminded of the power fear has to skew reality. There is no denying that I am significantly better this year than a year ago.
As I often say, healing happens in baby steps and it can feel like we are not moving forward but we are.

Ransomware Investigation
It's one of the most prevalent cyber security threats in the world, making headlines daily: crippling ransomware attacks. Ransomware attacks are used by independent hacking cells, professional crime syndicates, ex-employees, and so-called hacktivists to extort money from individuals and organizations while crippling your ability to access your files, your client database, R&D research, your own intellectual property, your website, and even basic email. Cyber security firm Cytelligence is uniquely qualified to help both individuals and businesses deal with ransomware attacks across Canada, from Halifax, to Ottawa, to Toronto, to Winnipeg, to Calgary, and Vancouver – and all points in between.
"While the news media publishes that most ransomware attacks cost only a few hundred dollars, on a weekly basis Cytelligence negotiates on behalf of clients where ransomware demands for payments are between $20,000 and $150,000 in Bitcoin.
Ransomware is serious business. Don't leave ransomware negotiations to amateurs or well- meaning techies. And ransomware is definitely not a D-I-Y project."
– Ed Dubrovsky, Managing Director, Cyber Breach Response
Essentially, ransomware takes your data hostage and hackers will extort a ransom for the release of your data. Why do cybercriminals want your data? Data is the new "gold." Here are just some of the things that typically happen during a ransomware attack:
These are some of the situations that Cytelligence's ransomware removal team faces each week, supporting individuals, small business and enterprise-organizations in the safe resolution of their ransomware attacks.
Make no mistake: a ransomware attack affects your operational capacity, your financial position, your stock price if your company is publicly traded; your compliance with regulators and with privacy laws; as well as your overall reputation with customers, suppliers, and employees through the media and resulting negative publicity. The effects of a ransomware attack can be very long-lasting indeed.
Worst of all, there is no guarantee that even if the ransom is paid, that your data access will be fully restored. It may only be partially restored. Or, that the cybercrooks did not make copies of your data, for nefarious purposes later. Like the saying goes, "There is no honour among thieves."
Our goal at Cytelligence is to help you recover from ransomware attack and return to day-to-day activities in the shortest amount of time, in a confident, precise, and cost-effective manner. We developed our Ransomware Support Practice to resolve current hostage attacks and then empower the organization with guided changes to help with future ransomware attacks prevention:
- We have reduced the cost of ransomware attacks through expert negotiation.
- We have helped with decryption of systems without any payment to the attacker.
- We have detected and contained on-going attacks during ransomware negotiations.
- We manage the entire ransomware attack, using our knowledge, expertise and influence.
You get our extensive experience in ransomware removal, compromise assessments, digital forensics, breach investigation and cyber security consulting to solve your ransomware incident in a professional manner that reduces the anxiety over a ransomware attack.

One of the main reasons I would buy this home is because of the way the accommodation has been configured.
The seller who is a builder of some 40 years experience has completely changed the layout of the original house and transformed it into a really practical family home.
We believe the house dates back well over 100 years and so like a lot of old houses from this era, the bathroom before the renovation was located off the back of the kitchen on the ground floor.
This isn't the ideal place for it to be and so with a bit of 'tinkering' with the space upstairs the seller was able to move the bathroom to the first floor which in my view works much better. The other benefit of relocating the bathroom is that it has created an open plan dining space off the kitchen which now has French doors leading out to the garden, a really nice touch.
Another new major improvement to the house is the addition of an extra room in the attic which has created a really decent, usable space that could be used as a bedroom, study, playroom or whatever else people would want it for.
In my opinion, for young families the location is a big selling point too because directly across the road from the house is a children's play park and just a further 5 minutes walk up the road is an excellent rated primary school and a nice, family friendly pub which serves good food.

I've seen it suggested that a team of people -- the more the better -- should agree to pray as hard as they knew how, over a period of six weeks, forall the patients in Hospital A and none of those in Hospital B. Then you would tot up the results and see if A had more cures and fewer deaths. . . .
The trouble is that I do not see how any real prayer could go on under such conditions. 'Words without thoughts never to heaven go', says the King in Hamlet. Simply to say prayers is not to pray; otherwise a team of properly trained parrots would serve as well as men for our experiment. You cannot pray for the recovery of the sick unless the end you have in view is their recovery. But you can have no motive for desiring the recovery of all the patients in one hospital and none of those in another. You are not doing it in order that suffering should be relieved; you are doing it to find out what happens. The real purpose and the nominal purpose of your prayers are at variance.
This is from a selection entitled Prayer is Not a 'Gimmick' in the Lewis Anthology The Business of Heaven(Nov. 14th), amidst a number of selections concerning prayer and the efficacy of prayer. I'm not sure what work of Lewis's this was originally taken from for the anthology.

Sacrifice that brought a family silver
Sarah Ayton gave up her Olympic dreams to raise the family
Greater love hath no woman than this: that she lay down her Olympics for her husband.
Eighteen months ago this was the dilemma facing Sarah Ayton. Twice an Olympic champion in sailing's Yngling class, Ayton decided to end her campaign for a third gold to support her husband, Nick Dempsey, and raise a family.
Dempsey, a windsurfer, had won a bronze at Athens in 2004 but came fourth in Beijing on the same day that Ayton, then his fiancée, won her gold.
Yesterday Dempsey won an Olympic silver medal and celebrated by swimming ashore to hug his sons, Thomas and Oscar, aged 3 and 5 months. He then paid tribute to Ayton, saying that she had "sacrificed a medal" to help him to win his.…

When one buys a portable evaporative cooler, it immediately starts getting worn out with continued use. Damages can also occur from power differences, falls and even poor handling. When such damages occur, one can only be sure of restoring the cooler to its best position by getting the right repair professional. This has never been easy because every technician in the market indicates that he is an expert. Owners of portable coolers do not have to worry any more because they can use the following tips.
The best professional is the one who is highly qualified and licensed to offer the same type of services. Inquire from the profile to know the highest level of certification, additional retraining, and associated with professional bodies. This information can also be read in the expert's profile which is used to help clients understand who they are hiring to do repairs on the portable evaporative air cooler.
Local administrations are very concerned about the service providers in their areas of jurisdiction. They therefore license the operators and sets rules and regulations that govern their work. Therefore, a licensed operator understands everything that the administration requires and abides in them. Because the authorities also receive complains about malpractices, one can easily know those who are likely to cause more damages.
Past tasks act as indicators of what clients should anticipate after hiring them. The best professional is the one who has wide experience and has handled every type of portable air cooler in the current market. To know this, ask the professional to demonstrate how successful past repair works have been. If the tasks have been successful, one can be sure that even his cooler will also be handled professionally. To get the right information, it is important that one gets some contacts of past clients and calls them for confirmation.
While repairs are very crucial and must always be done on time, it is the maintenance that determines how the cooling system operates. Therefore, the professional should be able to assist clients understand the best maintenance tips and apply them to reduce the rates of breakages. This can be known by talking to past clients who will indicate how well they were assisted to understand maintenance tips for their cooling systems.
When the hot season finally reaches, one can never know the time his portable evaporative cooling equipment will get damaged. The best professional should therefore be flexible and capable of handling emergencies. For example, if one was having a meeting with close friends on the deck on a Saturday afternoon and the cooler develops a major problem, the expert should be ready to rush there at once for repairs. To be sure of this, check whether the professional has a hotline number and the right tools to handle damages that can result from the cooler.
Repairs can only be good when they are done using top quality spares. A good repair expert should ascertain this by showcasing the shops they buy the spares from. The traders should be authorized dealers on sales and spares of specific evaporative coolers.
