Hi, I'm here to ask a few questions about translation.
My Greek is pretty basic, and most of what I understand of the bible is from using Strong's and the Blue letter bible.
So I hope my questions aren't too basic.
Thanks in advance.

When we reviewed the Babolat AeroPro Drive and AeroPro Drive Plus back in February of 2005, Rafael Nadal was on the rise as an up and coming player to watch. At that time he was ranked as high as 18th in the world. Over the next two years we have watched Rafa climb and settle into the number 2 position while dissecting most of his opponents with the AeroPro Drive. Still improving and hitting astonishing groundstrokes with regularity, would wielding the new AeroPro Drive Cortex help or hinder his game?
Sporting the new black, white and yellow of the AeroPro Drive Cortex, Rafa successfully defended his French Open crown in dominating fashion, gaining his third consecutive title.
Along with the new colors of this latest AeroPro Drive comes Babolat's new and improved feel technology called Cortex - already a proven success in the Pure Drive line. Both the Aero Modular and Woofer technology remain for increased swing speed and improved comfort, respectively. All other aspects of the AeroPro Drive racquets remain unchanged.
To go along with Rafa's three French Opens, would the new Cortex technology give the AeroPro Drive racquets the technological Triple Crown? We decided to hand the racquets to our in-house playtest team - a rabid bunch of tennis enthusiasts ready to hit the courts at the drop of a hat.
From the baseline, our testing crew was in agreement that the AeroPro Drive Cortex offered a solid, controlled feel. Getting the same solid feel from both sides was Ryan K. "This racquet was extremely solid for me on my groundstrokes. Whether I was hitting my forehand or two handed backhand, it felt like I could always find the sweetspot on this racquet. With the awesome amount of topspin I was able to create, I never felt like this racquet had too much power. I felt in control and was able to hit shots I wouldn't usually go for, unlike the more flexible player styled racquet I usually play with. It felt very easy for me to set up for a shot and the racquet felt very maneuverable." Granville quickly found the groove with this racquet. "It took just a few crisp forehands to discover this racquet is at its best when smacking the ball like Nadal. Its soft feel translates into being able to simply crush the ball, knowing it will land deep into your opponent's territory. Hitting it out/long will take some effort! Same on the backhand side - hitting out is the way to play with this racquet."
Giving top marks to the AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard from the baseline was Jason. "A real treat for the baseliner. I feel this is one of the best, if not the best, racquets for hitting groundstrokes. By taking full, loopy swings I could really take advantage of the open string pattern. The tremendous amount of topspin I found kept the ball deep and in play. A very stable and maneuverable racquet. I had no problems taking balls early, even with my one handed backhand. Control was fantastic and I really felt that I could precisely control the direction of my ball as well as the depth." Ryan S. was in agreement. "Wow! What a great racquet to hit groundstrokes with! Very, very impressive. I can't remember hitting a better racquet from the baseline. Slices, heavy topspin, flat shots, everything seemed to be just awesome with this racquet. The only racquet I remember hitting with that had as much pop and control as I had with this racquet was the Head Agassi Limited Edition Radical. I was really able to "hit out" with this racquet and it felt really good to just whip around forehand after forehand, turning the ball into a heavy spinning monster! I loved this racquet from the baseline."
Chris experienced more comfort with the addition of the Cortex. "As with the previous version of this stick, I found excellent access to spin and some solid pace off the ground. Noticeably absent from the first hit was the raw feel of the original AeroPro Drive. With this Cortex version I found the feel to be plush and comfortable. The racquet still felt firm, but without the sharper edge of its predecessor. For such a maneuverable racquet I was able to hit a heavy ball, thanks to easy access to spin. I really liked the performance of this racquet with a co-polyester string in it, like Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour or Polyfibre TCS. These new age co-polys with their softer feel really worked great in this stick. I was able to be much more aggressive and really take advantage of the power of the racquet without losing control, thanks to the co-polyester stringbed. Ripping forehands was lots of fun, and I pretty much looked to do that whenever the opportunity arose." Finding an abundance of control was Spencer. "Hitting with the Aeropro Drive sparingly in the past, I came into the test with an open mind. Being able to put a little more time in with the Cortex version, I became very impressed with the amount of spin and control on my groundstrokes. The solid feel, especially on off-center shots, certainly helped my confidence. The balls seemed to have a bit more bounce as they were really jumping upon landing in my opponent's court. I really enjoyed my hitting sessions (especially when strung up with polyester). My expectations were certainly exceeded with both forehands and backhands with this racquet. Gaining confidence with each stroke, I felt I was able to "zero in" and hit more winners than usual."
Providing surprising stability at only 11.3 ounces, the AeroPro Drive Cortex was quite maneuverable while offering nice touch. This frame had the right characteristics for net play according to Chris. "At net the racquet felt firm, but comfortable. I found all the power I could want to help me get my volleys away. Maneuverability was impressive, and I felt like I was moving well when reaction time was limited. I had no problems feathering the ball short for drop volleys and angles or utilizing the power of the racquet to punch volleys deep. I kind of preferred the raw feel of the original at net, but was able to hit the same shots with this one - it was just that the feel was different." Granville was impressed with the maneuverability of the racquet. "A generous hoop/stringbed provided the AeroPro Drive Cortex with a comfortable sweetspot. Combined with the headlight balance and solid 11.3 ounce weight, I really got a sense of control and maneuverability when at net. Despite the mass and maneuverability, the racquet felt very different than my regular 95 square inch headsize racquet. I wouldn't say it was better or worse - just different."
Ryan K. liked the attributes offered by the Cortex when volleying. "The standard length and generous head size for a mid-plus racquet made for a very comfortable feel at the net. The new Cortex made my volleys feel crisp, unlike the older model which had a "twangy" feel. The maneuverability was excellent. I always felt like the racquet was right there with me and I didn't feel rushed setting up each volley." Ryan S. enjoyed the stability and crisp feel. "Volleys were also fairly impressive with this one. Maneuverability was good. Volleys were crisp at contact. I found good stability and there wasn't any twisting action on my wrist. I liked volleying with this stick."
Not disappointed, yet not thrilled with this racquet's net play was Jason. "I liked it, but didn't love it. Putting away easy shots and overheads was not a problem, but I felt the racquet was a bit sluggish hitting pick up volleys and shots directed at my body. However, the racquet did feel stable and torque was minimal." Spencer had similar sentiments. "I liked the stability. Maneuverability was decent, but I was more impressed with the crisp feel and how the racquet didn't waver upon contact. I was able to put away sitters with pace and the touch was nice, also."
Though spin and power seemed to be enjoyed by most, serving consistency was a bit of a mixed bag with the AeroPro Drive Cortex. Spencer had issues finding the groove. "Though groundstrokes were great, it took me awhile to get a comfortable feel on the serve. I can't exactly place my finger on it, maybe the swingweight, but I couldn't get any consistency at the beginning. However, I did adjust to it, and once in a groove I found I could generate some good spin. That would be the highpoint in this category. Definitely not my first choice when serving." Ryan S. was in agreement. "Serving was my least favorite shot with this racquet, even though I enjoyed it very much. I had a little bit of trouble finding a groove with this racquet. I'm not sure what attributed to that, but when I was on, it was really good. Spin was extremely easy to come by. My kick serve had plenty of kick. The nice thing is that there was good power out of this racquet to go with the impressive spin. If it wasn't for my trouble in being consistent with this racquet, meaning I would be long one serve and then I would be short and in the net, I would have enjoyed serving with it much more. So, finding that sweetspot on serve was a bit more difficult than usual for me."
Having difficulties maximizing performance was Granville "I served well with the AeroPro Drive Standard Cortex but feel I would need extended practice to take full advantage of the performance of the racquet. My balls were coming in with good power and I could place the ball where I had intended. My kickers seemed to have the same "action" as with my normal racquet, but the lack of "crispness" offered a bit less feedback than I am accustomed to." Jason enjoyed the spin and control but felt the racquet lacked power. "If I had to nitpick and choose one thing I didn't like about this racquet, serving would be it. But not all serves, just first serves. I couldn't generate the power that I would've liked on a hard, flat first serve. Slices and kick serves were great. I could really put some action on the ball and get it to go in the general direction I wanted."
Ryan K. found immediate comfort with this racquet. "I could tell after only a couple serves that this racquet created great power and spin on my serves. I could see that the stiffness of the racquet was helping me generate more power, but with the Cortex system it felt like I was hitting with a more flexible frame. I had no arm shock, even though I was playing with a 16 gauge polyester. There were no adjustments needed in my serve, I just picked it up and was instantly comfortable with it." Feeling similarities to his usual racquet of choice was Chris "My serves had plenty of power and plenty of spin. I was also serving with good consistency. I found this stick to perform similar to my Pure Drive Roddick on serve - one of the reasons I love my current stick! Again, I had the best results when using a co-polyester string, and I was able to find a little extra kick on spin serves."
As with groundstrokes, the versatility of the AeroPro Drive Cortex allowed many options while returning serve. Ryan S. felt the racquet allowed him to return aggressively. "Returning serves was great. Like with my groundstrokes, I found it very easy to be aggressive with this racquet. There was some good stability from the racquet on heavy serves. Also, a key contrast in this racquet from it's predecessor is that there wasn't any jarring on my arm from impact with the ball. The previous version felt more jarring - not so with this one. Just a great racquet to hit with." Chris liked the control from the stringbed. "I was returning aggressively with this stick. I was able to find my targets consistently and had lots of confidence, which allowed me to really go after my shots. With plenty of bite coming from the stringbed and a nice dose of power, I was able to rip some cross court returns with lots of pace and spin. I also liked the level of power when blocking returns. I was able to guide the ball with good depth and use my opponent's pace to neutralize the serve."
Ryan K. had confidence attacking off the return. "My serve returns were solid, like every other shot with this racquet. I felt like I could be very aggressive with my returns and never felt a loss of control." Jason raved about the large sweetspot and maneuverability. "Very similar to groundstrokes, rock solid! Not only was I able to block shots back on big serves, but occasionally I was even able to put pace on the ball as well."
Granville enjoyed the many options he had with this racquet when returning. "With good mass and a 100 sq. inch head you will enjoy many options when returning serve. If you have time to set-up and get over the ball you'll be able to put the ball left, right or up the middle with good pace. If defensive, as long as you can get the stringbed on the ball you can get the ball back over the net. You can bleed off the pace and drop it low to your opponent's feet or simply block it back safely." Spencer agreed. "A lot of options on return of serve. The racquet is strong enough to block back a serve with some depth. I was also able to hit some well paced penetrating returns without a ton of effort when opportunities presented themselves."
As our three-week playtest came to a close, our crew concluded that the AeroPro Drive Cortex is a legitimate update to the former version. Adding the Cortex technology to the AeroPro Drive Standard makes a noticeable difference in how this racquet feels when making contact with the ball. While opinions varied in some categories while testing, overall the general consensus was very positive. Groundstrokes seemed to be the biggest hit (no pun intended), receiving the most praise from our crew. With the amazing spin and control we generated with this stick (especially strung with a co-poly), it's only natural to want to shout "Vamos!" when hitting that big spinning forehand for a winner.
|Last Shots from our playtesters
Ryan K. "The new Cortex technology is a great addition to this already popular racquet. If I had to describe the new Cortex addition in one word, I would use the word "crisp". It was such a solid racquet and I know I will be hitting with this frame over and over again."
Granville "There are several very subtle differences in playability when comparing this to a standard player's spec racquet. The aerodynamic shape of the shaft does seem to bring the racquet through the air more quickly. I found myself changing my game to better conform to the strengths of the racquet; more power, less touch and finesse. While firmly planted in the player's spec range - the AeroPro Drive Cortex offers one of the largest sweetspots in the game."
Jason "A great successor to the popular Aeropro Drive. The added Cortex technology really put this racquet over the top for me. It filtered out the vibration without taking away from the feel and feedback. A great racquet choice for intermediate players, and especially for those who do most of their battling on the baseline."
Chris "I like the raw feel of the previous version, but this one offers all the performance with more comfort. In the end, I found myself liking both the new Cortex version and the old version for different reasons. It was difficult to pick one over the other as they are both great racquets."
Spencer "If I had to choose between the AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard, the AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus and both the AeroPro Drives without Cortex, this would be my pick. Just like the playtest we did with the Pure Drives, the Cortex makes a big difference for me, as I love the dampened feel. To me it makes the racquet feel very solid and stable."
Ryan S. "This is my pick of the two AeroPro Drive Cortex racquets. I felt really good with this racquet, despite the wind we've been having lately, and can definitely understand why Nadal uses this racquet. In fact, maybe I was Nadal-esque out there?! Well, minus the big muscles and pirate pants - oh yeah, and the game. Oh well, I still felt really good out there with this racquet."
|Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard scores
(Scores are determined by averaging individual play test scores)
It was no surprise that the AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus offered some extra pop and spin from the baseline. Chris enjoyed hitting groundstrokes from both sides. "I've never been a fan of longer racquets, but sticks like this one make me rethink my preferences. While it took me awhile to adjust to the length, once I made the adjustment I really liked hitting groundies with this racquet. With the extra length and the beefier swingweight I was able to take a good crack at some forehands with this stick. I also preferred this one off the backhand wing, as it gave me a little more pop when going crosscourt. As with the standard length version, I was finding lots of spin off both wings. I also found this one to respond well to co-polyester strings, as it allowed for lots of control from the stringbed." Liking the combination of spin and power was Jason. "This racquet does not disappoint from the ground. Solid spin was produced and plenty of power was available. Maybe a bit too much power, at least for me. When going for winners, I kept finding myself over-hitting the ball and having it land on the wrong side of the baseline. But when I got hold of the ball and hit it cleanly, it definitely had more zip than the standard length version."
Ryan K. had mixed feelings on groundstrokes. "The extended length was nice when I felt like I would usually have to be stretching out to make a shot. I found a great, solid feel with it from the baseline, but at times felt like I needed to maneuver myself more than usual to setup for a shot." Granville enjoyed maintaining control while taking full cuts at the ball. "The Plus version of the AeroPro Drive Cortex offered the same solid feel and soft response as the AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard. The extra length did nothing to diminish my desire to just punish the ball with this racquet in my hand. The soft and controlled response is easy on the arm and good for the confidence, as I could swing away without having to worry about hitting long."
Spencer liked the added zip, once he made adjustments. "The Plus version felt just as solid as the Standard, but with a little added pop. The extra half inch made a big difference, not only with the power of the racquet but with my footwork, as well. I felt a bit awkward, feeling "hand-cuffed" when swinging, until I adjusted to the length. Once the adjustments were made the racquet felt solid on both forehands and backhands." Ryan S. noticed quite a bit of difference in power. "This version was also great on groundstrokes. The extra length really made a big difference. On some racquets I don't find more racquet head speed equating to more power and spin, but in this racquet, wow! The Plus version was much more powerful from the baseline. I couldn't "hit out" as well, but when I did hit it perfectly in the sweetspot it was almost untouchable. Very good feel and stability along with great comfort made this one of the best extended length racquets I've ever hit groundstrokes with."
Our team found plenty of power to put away volleys and a beefier feel at net with the longer AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus. Granville was impressed with the combination of touch and power. "A very slight shift in balance seemed to neutralize the effect of the added length, and this racquet offered a very capable performance at net. I found some soft response on the bread & butter volleys, with the security of knowing I could unleash some power if the moment presented itself." Chris felt the comfort the Cortex provided at net. "I noticed more comfort and a plusher feel at net with this new Cortex version of the AeroPro Drive. I enjoyed punching volleys deep and found a solid response from this racquet. Stability was very impressive and I liked the level of power. Overall, I thought the response was firm but comfortable. The difference in performance between this racquet and the previous version came down to feel for me. With the Cortex, this racquet offers a plusher feel."
Feeling the AeroPro Drive Plus hampered his consistency at net was Ryan S. "This is the one area where I struggled. Volleying with this racquet was difficult. I struggled a lot with the maneuverability of the racquet. I just couldn't "stick" volleys with any consistency. I was hoping I wouldn't feel the extra length too much and would volley well, but I really felt the extra length on this one." Ryan K. was troubled with the lack of maneuverability. "I felt the extended length was too much at net. It felt like I was dragging the racquet around and it felt a little sluggish. When I was in position, it did feel very solid and overheads were an easy kill."
Jason preferred the Standard length racquet when volleying. "I could really feel the difference in maneuverability between this racquet and the shorter AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard. I had a tough time getting this racquet to where I needed it to go. On the plus side, putting away overheads was as easy as a snap of the wrist." Spencer agreed. "Though my volleys felt crisp, the racquet lacked a bit in maneuverability. The extra reach was nice for those stretched out volleys, but overall I still preferred the AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard."
With the added length providing more leverage, the Plus version added some extra velocity on serve. For Ryan K, serving was the highpoint with this racquet. "The extra length felt solid on the serves, I had extra height on my serve and it was an improvement over the standard. The power and spin I found was excellent, and serving was by far my favorite shot with this racquet." Chris found a lot of confidence serving with the racquet. "This racquet was an absolute blast to serve with. I was finding incredibly easy access to pace when going for some heat down the 'T' of both service boxes. I was also able to coax some added spin on kick serves, and I was seeing a lot more twist and action on kickers out wide to the ad side. I thoroughly enjoyed serving with this racquet. I felt like it maximized my service options and definitely increased my confidence on serve."
Feeling the impact of the extra length was Spencer. "This is where that 1/2 inch had the most impact, in my opinion. I noticed a noticeable difference in the power while maintaining a nice amount of spin. In the fantasy tennis world, I would serve with the Plus version, then play the rest of the point with the Standard." Ryan S. had plenty of consistency with the Plus. "Maybe the high point for this racquet for me was serving. I found plenty of power - even more than the standard. Spin was still easy to generate, and once I adjusted to the extra length in the motion of my serve, it was very impressive. I served more consistently with this version than I did with the other. I felt like I could serve where I wanted and get it there with great pace. All in all, a very nice racquet to serve with."
Jason felt he gained velocity, but at the expense of control. "Although I felt a bit more power off the 1st serve, the trade off was control. Hitting slices and kick serves still produced positive results, adding a bit more spin than the standard length AeroPro Drive Cortex." Granville served well but felt the racquet was missing the crisp feel he likes. "The AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus had that nice "thud" sound when I really cracked the serve. If I hear that sound while serving I know I'm doing something right. The sweetspot seemed spring-loaded. I was kicking my serves to either side with little problem. Power was there, but it was so soft that it lacked that "crisp" feeling I like so much. I think I could adjust the string and/or tension for a better fit to my game."
Experiencing a solid feel, our team found plenty of options when returning. Finding the racquet close to perfection when returning was Ryan S. "Again, as with groundstrokes, this racquet did very well when I was returning serve. Except for a few miscues where I was just over-hitting, this racquet was almost perfect. Nothing more needs to be said." Jason was thrilled with the length and power. "This was where I enjoyed having a bit more length. It allowed me to get a hold of some out wide kick serves that I otherwise would've framed. Blocking hard first serves back was a breeze, the racquet provided plenty of pop to get the ball over the net."
Able to return with plenty of spin was Ryan K. "The Plus felt very comfortable on serve returns for me, I was able to be aggressive and put an impressive amount of topspin on the ball. Even though I preferred the Standard for the serve returns, the Plus offered more spin potential." Granville was pleased with the stability and solid feel. "As with the standard version, if I caught the ball out in front I could do what I wanted with it. It offered a very solid and stable platform to drive the ball to my target zone."
Chris found his returns getting more dialed in the more he used the racquet. "My return game probably took the longest to adjust and was something I still felt needed perfecting when the test came to an end. I was hitting good returns with this racquet, but I felt there was some performance still left on the table. Every once in awhile I'd crack a big return and get a taste of what was possible. Defensive returns were easy to hit and it felt like getting the ball to my intended target was as easy as pointing the strings in the right direction. The power level of the racquet and the solid feel at impact seemed to take care of the rest." Spencer added, "As with the volleys, I felt maneuverability suffered a bit. Though this racquet made some of the wide serves more retrievable, I still had more trouble than not with adjustments. I was okay with slower serves that I had time to react to, but the serves into the body with more pace caused a bit more trouble."
We came away impressed by the access to power from all areas of the court with the AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus - no doubt partly from its extra 1/2 inch of length. Though the majority of our playtest team are not extended racquet fans, there was plenty of optimism after hitting with the AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus. Many of our testers noted performance offerings not present with the Standard. The extra leverage seemed to have the most to offer on serves and groundstrokes. There was some added mass to this racquet once in motion, giving long fast swings plenty of stability and plough through. Overall, this one is well worth a hit for those looking to put even more secret sauce on every shot than offered by the already impressive standard length AeroPro Drive Cortex.
|Last Shots from our playtesters
Ryan K. "I felt the added length gave me an advantage on serves and with spin potential. A very impressive racquet. The Cortex technology is just another great improvement from Babolat."
Granville "I have never been a fan of "longer" racquets. However, after just a few games I had forgotten this was a longer stick and was enjoying the benefits of the AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus."
Jason "What a difference 1/2 inch makes! It's probably a combination of the additional length and the fact that I'm used to a 27 inch racquet that makes me enjoy the AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard better. But for those players who want a bit more court coverage and more pop for their dollar, this is the stick for you!"
Chris "Another enjoyable playtest and one I'm tempted to prolong. At the end of the test I still felt like I hadn't maximized the potential of this stick when returning serves and hitting groundstrokes. I had periods where everything started to click, but I wasn't able to get in the comfort zone I have with my regular stick. When it came to playing points, I absolutely loved serving with this racquet and I think it took my service game up a notch. Not love at first sight here, but I think I might have to keep one in the bag awhile and see how things turn out."
Spencer "The one thing I liked about the Plus was the extra pop. Other than that, I still prefer the AeroPro Drive Cortex Standard. There aren't enough available advantages for my game to use the extra 1/2 inch."
Ryan S. "I don't usually like extended length racquets much, but this one changed my opinion a bit. I liked the power and control that I got from this frame. Volleys let me down a bit, but if I didn't volley much, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, I do volley a lot, so this racquet falls a little short for me."

In March, a new film hits theaters. It's a courageous tale of a single mother, forced out of her home and fighting for survival. No, it's not a little-known indie film or a critics' darling. In fact, the main characters in the film don't even speak – well, unless you count roaring as speaking. That's right; the films' "actors" are cats, lions to be exact.
The Last Lions, released by National Geographic Movies, follows the journey of lioness Ma di Tau ("Mother of Lions") as she struggles to survive and care for her cubs after she loses her mate and is cast out by a rival pride. It's a dramatic and suspenseful story – a story with the aspiration to raise awareness of the declining lion population (from 450,000 to 20,000 during the last 50 years) and to increase support for conservation.
The filmmakers behind The Last Lions, Derek and Beverly Joubert, are conservationists at heart. As noted in their biography, "Filmmaking for them has always been a way to bring the message of conservationism to audiences." Their previous film Eternal Enemies (about lions and hyenas clashing in overlapping territories) was seen by an estimated 1 billion viewers. That's 1 billion people learning about animal behavior and biology through film.
Encouraging conservationism and biology education is not a task solely for documentaries. The drama Born Free (1966) follows a couple raising a lioness named Elsa who then release her into the wilds of Kenya. The film, based on a true story, inspired the lead actor (Bill Travers) and lead actress (Virginia McKenna) to become animal activists and helped establish the Born Free Foundation, a conservation and animal rights organization.
Not all films about lions have sparked conservation efforts – but there's always the possibility and opportunity to inspire. Seeing The Lion King (1994) or Madagascar (2005) might encourage a child to learn about animal behavior or conservationism. There are even a few films about cheetahs similar to the storyline of Born Free. In both Cheetah (1989)and Duma (2005), a family raises an orphaned cheetah and then fights to return it to the wild where it belongs.
These films are heart-warming stories, proof that messages of conservationism and animal biology don't need to be heavy-handed – they just need to be inside of a good story.

"These are VERY comfy, super cute, and I found them to be pretty true to size. Being a thong sandal, I think by their nature they are a bit narrow, but not overly so. I got the coral color, and I always get compliments on them as well. I will wear them out this season, and really glad I bought these."

Dear Mr. Dad: I have a 10 month old son. For the past two months, he and i have enjoyed "wrestling" – that is, I lie on my back and he crawls around on top of me and slides off or rolls off (guided so he doesn't really crash). I also occasionally hold him upside down by his hips. In all of this, my son laughs. Mom is not good with our wrestling and thinks I am far too rough. Can you offer some guidance?
A: You say three things in your letter that tell me you're taking reasonable precautions. First, you're making sure your son doesn't crash. Shaken Baby Syndrome—which can cause brain damage, spinal cord injuries, and worse—isn't always about shaking. Abrupt jerking or whiplash motions could cause problems too. So guiding him from your chest to the floor is a good idea.
Second, you're keeping a firm grip on your baby as you hold him upside down. There's nothing inherently dangerous about being upside down—after all, babies spend a good portion of their time in the womb with their feet in the air. Your wife may be worried that you'll cause brain damage or that you'll dislocate your baby's hips, knees, or ankles. There's absolutely no evidence that validates either of those fears. (All three of my children spent half their life dangling upside down and they're all doing just fine, physically and intellectually.) As long as you're not swinging your baby, and as long as you're keeping his head from snapping around, you've got nothing to worry about.
Third—and most important—is that your baby is laughing. He may not be able to speak actual words, but he's perfectly capable of communicating pleasure and displeasure—and he's not going to be terribly subtle about it. If your baby wasn't having a good time, he'd let you know by fussing, crying, or trying to wriggle out of your arms. Just be sure to pay close attention to how he's reacting and stop immediately when it's not fun anymore (for the baby, not for you—although you should stop then too).
As far as guidance, I've got several suggestions.
- Make an appointment with your baby's pediatrician and consider it a kind of binding arbitration. Demonstrate for the doc what you're doing at home. If you get a thumbs up, your wife agrees to back off. If it's a thumbs down, you agree to adjust your baby handling to whatever the doc says is safe.
- Assuming that the pediatrician okays your baby gymnastics routines, it might be a good idea to do your training at a time your wife isn't going to be around to worry.
- Talk to your wife. She wouldn't have married you if she really thought that you'd be a danger to children. Tell her that there's lots of evidence that babies who wrestle with their fathers grow up to have more highly developed social skills—including empathy—than kids who don't get as much time rolling around with dad.
- Expand your horizons. There are plenty of ways to interact physically with your baby that are a bit calmer. For example, babies his age love chasing and being chased, so get out your knee pads and start crawling.
- Time your physical activity. Too soon after a meal and you'll end up having to wash baby spit-up off your shoes and the floor. Too close to bedtime and your baby may have trouble settling into sleep mode.

The Tengu theory was sort of right?
I would just pray he turns it into a sick storyline,
Quit Naruto
Continue reading hoping Kishi improvises
Don't Care
Hunt down Kishimoto
The Tengu theory was sort of right?
I would just pray he turns it into a sick storyline,
Zetta Recommends: Naruto, Claymore, Death note, Elfen Lied, Berserk, Monster, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach,
Gameboy: "Its better to fight with honor than be silent and shit bricks"
if by some chance that theory is right (highly doubt it is) i would imagine that a kishimoto advisor showed him the theory and he took it as his own
considering he is god, i highly doubt that possible
the only other explanation would be that this guy some how got hold of kishi's notes on what to do with naruto and copied them off as his "theory"
im positive it is not going to happen but if it does i would continue reading hoping that he improves it (narutizes)
I don't think Kishi would just blindside his readers with something like a Tengu. I mean, thats just out of the blue. I would think he would have to do some significant foreshadowing to bring it into the story smoothly. I would certainly feel stupid if this theory somehow turned out to be correct. But it wasn't a theory to begin with, it was a fanfic. So HA!!! lol.
I wouldn't be surprised, and it feels more than something leaked than just a theory someone did out of the blue, it makes TOO much sense for it to be just a theory imo.
I would had preferred if I hadn't read it though, we weren't supposed to know that just yet. I haven't shown it to any of my friends because of that reason.
There's no way the theory is true. If it turns out that it is, then I will realize that everything I considered a reality to be only an illusion. Since that won't happen, the theory will continue to be bogus.
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes
i honestly wouldnt give a damn, really. i mean i love Naruto, i love everything associated with it but if it turned out to be too silly for the Manga then i would be pissed. but Masashi has done well so far with making the story readable and watchable (Anime). soo... actually it if its well told, then i wouldnt care
"A failure, will always be a failure."
"You cannot fool my eyes."
I Love The Tengu Theory Its The Most Credible Thus Far
I don't even know why it's called a theory. Some guy makes up a story and finds a bunch of pictures of tengu in the manga; how is that a theory?
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes
I'd like y'all to stop calling it a theory, since it is based on very limited evidence and has not been proven, so it's a hypothesis and at best hypothetical theory (yikes). It's safe to say this is put together the few tengus drawn in the manga to back it up, an active imagination and some quick reading.
can someone explain this tengu theory to me....

Hannah Turay-Selli, RN 4A
Hannah Turay-Selli considers nursing to be in her blood. As a little girl in Liberia, she fondly remembers her mother wearing the white uniform that to her symbolized purity and helping others.
Today, Hannah is a second-generation registered nurse at Staten Island University Hospital's Ocean Breeze campus. She's been a part of our SIUH family for 11 years – first, with 4B's Medical/Surgical Unit and for the last two years with 4A's Inpatient Rehab.
Hannah's dedication, compassion and professionalism as a rehab nurse inspired one of her patients – an elderly woman who was recovering from a fractured left hip – to write a letter to the hospital praising her.
In June, Hannah was one of 138 SIUH staff members who earned a Service Excellence Award. The award is given out quarterly to employees based on letters and emails sent to the hospital from patients and patients' families.
"They [patients] come to us ready to help them rebuild their lives and get back into society by doing things they used to do before, like putting their shoes on and tying their shoelaces," explained Hannah.
A married mother of four, who resides on the North Shore of Staten Island, Hannah began her nursing career in Liberia. When civil war broke out in her country in 1980, she immigrated to the United States.
Hannah received her associate degree in nursing from the College of Staten Island, and through the hospital, is pursuing her bachelor's degree at St. Joseph's College in Brooklyn.
"This is the only thing I know to do," said Hannah. "Make people feel good, feel better and get them home."

Python Defender 2
Python Defender 2 - 0.03
Erik Martin (neccarus)
I have learned a lot over the past months, and am applying what I have learned, to the creation of this game. So far there isn't a whole lot to do, but I have basic movement set up. All the menus will be custom made, primarily to suit my purposes. I currently have plans for 10 different playable ships that the player will unlock as the proceed through the game. Along with that, there will also be different types of equipment the player can attach to the ship, I am hoping to implement a tuning system of sorts, where the player can actually modify the different attributes of the equipment once it is on their ship. There is still a lot for me to work on, and I have plans of moving more of the code into class's and methods.
Added missile launchers as a new weapon type. Missiles have their own acceleration, and will choose a target and track it after it is launched. Also added some basic AI to the enemies. Nothing spectacular, but it will be good for now.

|In response to Re: Hot Water Heater Upgrade
: You have to go by the pipe's area, and since PI is a constant in the computation, the only criticalmeasurement is the square of the radius, (r2 for convenience).
: A 3" pipe has an r2 of 2.25 and the r2 of 4" is 4. So if you add 2.25 and 4, you get 6.25, which happens to be the r2 of a 5" pipe. If you put two 4" lines into a 5" pipe, then you have two r2's of 4 which equals 8 trying to go into that same 5" pipe with a r2 of 6.25. When both are operating, the flue will be too small, unless it is rather tall and gets some enhancement from the heat, and the flue gases, (including carbon monoxide), will spill out into the room. Two 4" vents should be combined into a 6" riser. The unit with the larger input will reheat the fastest, and the 75 will usually have a slightly larger input. The other consideration is whether the larger heater will fit into the present space. If the heater location is on the floor, then the new one should be elevated 18" to met code and safety requirements, and if the floor is already at the 18" height, then the larger heater could be tall enough that it is difficult, if not impossible, tomake the necessary connections.
: : Given my family has doubled, I'm considering replacing my aging 40gal standard gas HW heater
: : Also, given how rapidly I run out of hot water (50-70% more would be nice), should I just bite the

- Jack is seven today. I'm sure that makes me officially old, but I've unilaterally decided that I won't be old until he's 18. It's all in the mind, you see.
- I am reading a book with the best title ever: The thing about life is that one day you'll be dead, by David Shields. After a title like that, I suppose the contents can only be a letdown, but one chapter in I'm still excited. We'll see.
A little quote from the "Prologue" for you:
[Talking about his father] He's strong and he's weak and I love him and I hate him and I want him to live forever and I want him to die tomorrow.My kind of book so far.
- I have (once again) decided that Charlie is now going to be a good sleeper. The sign I needed was that, in the past two days, he has twice fallen asleep in his buggy and slept on when I took him out to put him into his bed. Surely that's a definite preamble to spiffing sleeperdom. Let me clutch those straws, people.
- The summer holidays are starting tomorrow. I have been dreading them, as I was pretty much failing at motherhood without having to look after all three kids 24/7 the last few weeks. However, I have now reframed the event in my mind and it's helping me. Here's how I see it now: all year, I have been forced by the schools / choirs / sports clubs etc. to spend my time as they saw fit, whereas now I will be in control. Therefore the holidays will be better. The end.
Feel free to borrow this argument if you are in the same situation and need to convince yourself that you can survive the vast eternity that is the summer holidays. You're welcome.
- Also I need exercise, blah blah blah. You know the drill. At least I'm back in my pre-pregnancy jeans so hurray summer sales here I come. I knew replacing all solid foods with white wine would work.
- Oh, and you know I miss you all, right? I'm working on the inspiration / time to write thing. Obviously it will all sort itself this week as Charlie will now sleep well and the holidays will give me all that free time to blog.
Damn, now I have become delusional as well.

At least with school holidays we can all stay in our pyjamas all day; there is no rush to eat breakfast; no lunches to pack; no bitchy mothers at the school gates to run in to. And we don't have to make ridiculous last minute fancy dress costumes at midnight and in doing so break every law of political correctness and cultural sensitivity (Milla had to go as an Indian today, I was up last night making handmade feathers....SO WRONG!).ReplyDelete
I can't think of a song lyric that sums all that up.

ps. Happy Birthday Jack xReplyDelete
Girl's gotta dream. I love you, Mwa.ReplyDelete
God help us all, Mwa, god help us all...ReplyDelete
As I type with one hand, with the other I'm making a Wartime Barm Loaf from a genuine WW2 recipe for my 11 year old's school play tomorrow (for grandparents during the interval) thanks to said daughter volunteering her Mum as she's a great cook and won't mind. I do, but 'I'm just a girl who can't say No'!ReplyDelete
The book sounds great, and the bit about his dad is frighteningly like how I feel about mine.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday to Jack, and him being 7 does not make you old.
My eldest will be 20 in November (which is probably not all that much younger than you anyway)and I still refuse to feel old.
Though of course having two birthdays a year does make you age at twice the rate of the rest of us.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday Jack. And the white wine diet? Nice.ReplyDelete
Can I please come and be your summer au pair? My feet are so cold I can't feel them and there's a permanent drip on the end of my nose.ReplyDelete
Ok so I'm doing it wrong, I'm eating and drinking wine. Old?? Old??? wait until your first born is 28 and your baby is 20, I still don't feel old tho' 'Forever young I'm gonna be forever young' (not quite the correct words but what the heck)ReplyDelete
Enjoy your holidays and a very big Happy 7th to Jack.

Brilliant argument on the summer holidays. I'm stealing that. :-)ReplyDelete
Happy birthday to Jack! I need to get on a diet yesterday. Glad to know I'm not the only one!ReplyDelete

Chapter 31

6 And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the Lord their God, and laid them by heaps.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
11 ¶Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare
