Focus area: Mitigation
Location: Ban Phonemuang, Ban Phonelek, Ban Mane, Ban Phonedeng, Ban Thongkwuang in Khammouane Province , Lao PDR
Established: May 2009
About one third of all people living in the Lao PDR do not have proper access to clean drinking water. Access to improved sources of water is slightly better in cities (77%) but this number hasn significantly risen in the past 15 years, according to the World Health Organization. With flooding and higher temperatures, the frequency of water-borne diseases such as cholera and dengue can increase. People without proper access use water from rivers and streams, and usually boil it before drinking, which requires burning fuel, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
The water is purified in four steps:
1. Pumping;
2. Preliminary filtration;
3. Filtration;
4. Bottle cleaning.
Installation of the system takes from 3-10 days, depending on the location, the size of the system and local conditions. Another 1-2 days are needed for training on the use of the water pump and the filtration module. The system needs a minimum amount of sun to operate properly, but can continue to operate on a battery for a few cloudy days when necessary.
The activity is based on a Private Public partnership scheme, a donor provides funds to purchase the system. Donors include development aid agencies.
Mitigation / Adaptation
Social and environmental benefits
Potential for scaling-up and replication
One unit can treat up to 5000 liters a day, which is usually enough to cater for the needs of a community of about 1250 people or 250 households. The filtration component can be powered through the regular grid or via a solar panel. The UV bulb has a lifetime of 8000 hours of operation, after which certain parts have to be replaced. Fine and activated carbon filters should be changed regularly (once every 3-6 months) A local technician can carry out operation and minor maintenance activities, but major maintenance has to be looked after by a qualified technician.
The community is fully involved in the activity, a Water Committee is created which selects a representative in each village with the agreement of village Committee and villagers. A day of training is conducted with the new Committee to explain the management and monitoring of the small enterprise.
Hygiene training was held in five villages. The training was conducted by the Lao Red Cross team. The purpose of the training was to improve hygiene awareness focusing on drinking water, cooking and the use of bottled water.
The training took a day per village involving preferentially women and children.
In the past eight years, the system has been installed in over 30 sites in Laos.
When replicating, some basic conditions should be in place:

How To Remove A False Statement On A Complaint Board
Posted 09 June 2011 - 03:40 PM
Posted 09 June 2011 - 04:10 PM
Typically no. They could certainly hire a lawyer to see what they can do, however.

Freedom of speech is a guarantee that the government will not suppress the open expression of political, religious, or ideological views. It does not in any way mean that you can say anything you wish without being held accountable for it. That's why it is illegal to say anything in a theater/cinema that would incite an unnecessary panic.
Posted 11 June 2011 - 03:54 PM
People are always going to wonder, just like we are here, if the complaint is legitimate. If it is not, it is worth trying to see what you can do to get the complaint board site lower in the rankings, and the only way you can do this is to get some quality content out there that ranks for their company name in ahead of it.
It's a nasty world out there, and you are experiencing it first hand. Complaint boards are important and very useful these days, but you can't always believe what you read online either, so you do have to be careful in these type situations.
It's too bad this has happened to your client...if the complaint is not legitimate.
Posted 12 June 2011 - 09:03 PM
If you've ever tried it that's a lot easier said than done. The complaint sites have a huge amount of authority and you can't simply outrank them just cuz you want to.
Posted 12 June 2011 - 10:07 PM
Those complaint sites serve an important purpose, but they certainly can be abused as well.
Just a suggestion of something they could try since they feel they have been wronged...which beats trying something that makes it worse.
Since when has something "a lot easier said than done" stopped those who love a challenge from at least doing a little experimenting? Of course, if you really believe it would be pointless, you have probably seen a lot of companies give it a try and fail.
If they feel they are being "destroyed on a complaint board", chances are they are going to do something to make it worse if they don't feel they are at least trying to do something to remedy the issue.
Guess they could change the company name, though eventually someone will catch on to that and post for that name too.
That's the power of complaint boards, most of us have been exposed to enough unscrupulous business (especially sales) people in life that if someone steps up and is willing to post a complaint, chances are there is something to it. If those unscrupulous business people are your competition, they have basically just found another tool to use against their competitors.
How do you know it was a false accusation by a competitor? That still just sounds a little fishy.
Posted 13 June 2011 - 12:38 PM
Most people who make false complaints for competitive reasons have (in my experience) been pretty sloppy about the process. Sooner or later you see a pattern (not to mention a lack of background for the complaints).
Complaint sites are essentially made-for-advertising spam but like Jill says they have a lot of authority. That's because most consumers don't understand how search engine spam works or even what it is.

MIDDLE TOWNSHIP (AP) — Authorities have safely removed and destroyed a World War II-era explosive device that was found at a southern New Jersey home.
The Atlantic City Bomb Squad responded to the Middle Township home around 2:20 p.m. Saturday, after a person using a metal detector there found an object that appeared to be an unexploded ordnance.
Middle Township police tell The Press of Atlantic City that responding officers found that a large projectile had been partially unearthed, but it appeared to be inert. It's not clear how or when the ordnance was placed onto the property, but bomb squad members determined that it was a Howitzer 155.
Several nearby homes were briefly evacuated as a precaution while the ordnance was removed.

Basic Tools And How To Use ThemPosted in How To on June 1, 2012
If you're like us you started reading 4x4 magazines before you ever owned a 4x4. We remember drooling over Armstrong tires, triple shocks, and winches ready to rescue us before our driving permits ever arrived in the mail. When we finally scraped together the nickels to buy our first 4x4 it was a project that barely ran—and when it did run it wouldn't stop—yet we were blurry-eyed with dreams of vertical rockcrawls, mega-deep mud pits, and trophy truck–style high-speed insanity. We didn't have that 4x4 very long when we realized we needed more than just dreams. We needed tools. But unlike that 4x4 that lived and died years ago, those tools have stayed with us.
It's not uncommon that we hear of folks who lost their first truck to rough financial times, rust, or a growing family, but those same people held onto their toolbox. Tools will become an integral part of your 4x4 hobby, not to mention home repair, assisting neighbors, and becoming the guy that can solve the problem. "I can help. I have tools."
So what do you need to get started? What should you buy first? Or better yet, maybe someone asked you what you'd like for your birthday, bar mitzvah, graduation, Father's Day, or whatever holiday is coming up. Tools are always a great answer. You can never have enough, and there's always one more that would make your project a little easier.
Craftsman Heritage
The Craftsman tool brand has been around 85 years, with tools first sold through the Sears Roebuck stores in 1927 for fixing early cars and tractors. Craftsman tools can now be purchased through Sears, Kmart, OSH, Ace Hardware, Summit Racing Equipment, and of course Craftsman.com. Craftsman currently offers over 6,000 different handtools in the Evolve, Standard Craftsman, Craftsman Professional, and Craftsman Industrial lines with a lifetime warranty on all handtools (the beginner Evolve line requires a sales receipt). The tools come in a variety of finishes, but the chrome and black oxide finishes are most popular and extremely resistant to rust and wear due to intensive water and salt spray testing. Although the majority of Craftsman handtools are made in the USA, those that are not must still pass stringent testing at Craftsman Laboratories to earn the Craftsman name. Even though most new vehicles use metric fasteners, the inch tools are still outselling metric according to Craftsman's research, but the gap is closing.

Today, Londoners will have to make an important decision by voting in the mayoral election. This vote will set the course for the capital for the next four years, determining how services are run, where our money is spent and who will be the face of London for the Olympic Games.
The decision is twofold; Boris Johnson or Ken Livingstone? The current mayor or the former one? Forward with Boris or back with Ken? For me there is only one choice, I'm backing Boris.
To be a successful mayor you need to need to possess three important qualities; you must be a figurehead who can unite the capital, a champion for London who can get the best deal from the treasury and a believable candidate with a credible agenda. I think that Boris delivers all three of these counts; not even senior Labour figures say the same of Ken.
At the end of July the Mayor of London will be mixing with the great and the good of the world stage at the Olympic opening ceremony, acting as an ambassador for London. This role requires a figure that can unite Londoners under a common cause and showcase the best of London to the outside world. With Boris you get a recognisable and popular figure, but with Ken you get a divisive character whose factional brand of politics thrives on playing different groups off against each other. This approach has been clear throughout Ken's campaign and, if his aim was to insult as many different groups as possible, then it's fair to say he is to campaigning what Usain Bolt is to running fast. This year alone he has told us that the Jewish community won't vote for him because they are rich, that Tory policies are comparable to those of the mass murderer Anders Breivik and that London should be a "beacon for Islam". Such outbursts can't even be considered a slip of the tongue, offensive generalisations were normal when Ken was mayor - even comparing a Jewish journalist to a concentration camp guard. At no point do such views have a place within our modern multicultural capital: in 2012 when the world is watching, we need a figure that brings us together not pulls us apart.
The next thing that a mayor must do is champion the capital, fighting hard to secure investment from a cash strapped treasury. Let's look at Boris's record; in difficult financial times he has harassed the treasury until they poured money into vital infrastructure projects like Crossrail. Similarly he has shown himself unafraid of putting London's interests ahead of party interests, criticising the Government on policies like tax, housing benefit and immigration when he feels they are not in the interests of Londoners. Now let's look at Ken, what causes did he champion when he was in Government? He seemed more interested in ramping up charges for motorists then jetting off (first class at the expense of taxpayers) to schmooze Venezuelan dictators.
It sounds obvious to say, but London deserves a candidate with a credible policy platform which is ambitious, affordable and above all else realistic. Boris has produced a comprehensive nine point plan which includes pledges to build on the work of his first term by freezing council tax, hiring a 1000 more police officers, delivering the Olympic legacy, cutting waste in city hall and securing investment for projects like Cross rail. In contrast, Ken's manifesto smacks of delusions of grandeur- pledging to spend a TFL surplus that isn't there and reinstate policies which he does not have the power to do. But worst of all it appears likely that Ken hasn't paid his fair share of tax. Faced by allegations that he minimises tax by funnelling it through a private company, he promised to publish his tax returns, then only released selective details, later pledging to release the rest "soon". To date he has not. Whilst he told us that people who evade tax should not have the right to vote, does he owe the public an explanation about his own tax arrangements? Until then, Londoners, lets not give Ken our vote.
Today, voters have the chance to determine the direction of their city in one of its most important years. Londoners should ask themselves whether they want a mayor who seeks to unite or divide? Whether we need a mayor who sticks up for London or for his cronies? And if we can trust a man who says one thing and then does the opposite. I know my view, I'm backing Boris. On 3 May I'd urge you to do the same and once and for all say NOT KEN AGAIN.

Submission + - Where are the Windows ARM tablets? (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "Late yesterday, Intel took to the stage at Computex in Taiwan and announced its next steps towards mobile domination. To help with the development of touch-enabled tablets and ultrabooks, Intel is investing in factories that specialize in 13-inch-and-larger touchscreens. At one point, Tom Kilroy, Intel's vice president of sales and marketing, pulled back a curtain to reveal 50 new ultrabooks. The Big Reveal, though, is that there are 20 Atom-powered (Clover Trail) Windows 8 tablets in the works, many of which will be released in conjunction with Windows 8 this fall. On the other side of the fence, there is just one ARM-powered Windows 8 (RT) tablet at Computex: the 10.1-inch, Tegra 3-powered, dockable Asus 600. If you include a Windows RT prototype shown off by Toshiba and a Snapdragon S4-powered reference tablet from Qualcomm, that brings the total up to 3 ARM-powered Windows 8 tablets — a far cry from the huge number of product wins that Intel is touting. Where are the Windows ARM tablets? Where are the Samsung, Dell, and HP Windows RT devices? If they're not showing off Windows RT tablets at Computex, then they're probably waiting for CES — which isn't until January 2013. By that point, Intel and its trusty OEMs will have enjoyed massive x86 tablet sales from Black Friday and Christmas. Does Windows RT stand a chance?"

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Senators John McCain and Barack Obama hammered away at each other's judgment on the economy, domestic policy and foreign affairs as they faced off in their second presidential debate.
Obama tried to tie McCain to President Bush's "failed" policies, while McCain pushed his image as a "consistent reformer" at the debate, which took place at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.
The debate was set up as a town hall meeting, and the audience was made up of undecided voters. Obama and McCain fielded questions from the crowd, Internet participants, and moderator Tom Brokaw of NBC News.
The candidates spoke directly to each other at times, but at other times they spoke as if their opponent were not on the same stage, a few feet away. In comparison to the first debate, Tuesday's event --which came on the heels of several days of increasingly aggressive attacks from both sides -- took on a more contentious tone.
On foreign policy, McCain charged that Obama "does not understand" the country's national security challenges. McCain said he knows how to handle foreign affairs and questioned Obama's ability to do so.
"Sen. Obama was wrong about Iraq and the surge. He was wrong about Russia when they committed aggression against Georgia. And in his short career, he does not understand our national security challenges," McCain said. "We don't have time for on-the-job training, my friends."
McCain said the "challenge" facing a president considering using military force "is to know when to go in and when not."
Obama shot back and questioned McCain's judgment in supporting the invasion of Iraq.
"When Sen. McCain was cheerleading the president to go into Iraq, he suggested it was going to be quick and easy, we'd be greeted as liberators," he said. "That was the wrong judgment, and it's been costly to us."
The candidates spent about 30 minutes of the debate focusing on foreign affairs. They spoke about the economy for about 45 minutes and spent 15 minutes discussing domestic issues. A national poll of debate watchers suggested that Obama won the presidential debate.
Fifty-four percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released 30 minutes after the end of the debate said that Obama did the best job, while 30 percent said McCain performed better.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted by telephone with 675 adult Americans who watched the debate. All interviews were taken after the end of the debate. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
At the start of the debate, Obama said the country is in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
He blamed President Bush and McCain for the crisis, saying they had worked to "strip away regulation."
McCain said the system in Washington "cries out for bipartisanship" and pushed his record as a reformer.
He proposed having the government buy up and renegotiate bad home loans to stabilize the property market. He admitted the plan would be expensive but said it was necessary. The Arizona senator also hammered away at his rival's tax policies, saying that "nailing down Sen. Obama's various tax proposals is like nailing Jell-O to the wall."
McCain charged that "Obama's secret that you don't know" is that he would increase taxes on small business revenue, which he said would lead to job cuts.

YAFU (with assistance from other free software) uses the most powerful modern algorithms (and implementations of them) to factor input integers in a completely automated way. The automation within YAFU is state-of-the-art, combining factorization algorithms in an intelligent and adaptive methodology that minimizes the time to find the factors of arbitrary input integers. Most algorithm implementations are multi-threaded, allowing YAFU to fully utilize multi- or many-core processors (including SNFS, GNFS, SIQS, and ECM).
YAFU is primarily a command-line driven tool. You provide the number to factor and, via screen output and log files, YAFU will provide you the factors. There is also an interactive environment similar to MATLAB or PARI/GP, where you can type commands and store results. YAFU is very customizable, through the optional use of many many command line parameters and a very capable expression interpreter.

This is absolutely fantastic! The only thing I would change is the ability to suppress logfiles and have the program clean up after itself (i.e., removing the siqs.dat file and other files when it finishes).
Excellent program, the best in its class by far. The developer is very hard working and dedicated to making this a great program. I have had very quick turnaround times on bug reports and feature requests.
AFAIK YAFU has the world's best QS implementation, and its ability to intelligently choose a factorization strategy on its own is really marvelously useful. YAFU is pretty much where it's at for integer factorization.
Thank you!
An excellent factoring utility by a dedicated developer.

Story highlights
- Former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati has been imprisoned in Iran for more than two years
- He was visiting family in Iran when he was arrested in August 2011
- He wrote a letter to John Kerry saying his confession of being a CIA spy was forced
- His family is appealing to Iran's new president, who's attending U.N. General Assembly
The family of former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati has a message for Iran's new president: Their American son is not a spy, has never been one, and he should be released immediately from prison in Iran.
"I just ask -- I just want the president to consider us as an Iranian family, and that my husband is sick, and me as a mother I've suffered a lot, more than two years," said Behnaz Hekmati, Amir's mother, speaking in halting English.
The family made a plea in an exclusive interview to CNN on the eve of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's first visit to the United States, where he will attend the U.N. General Assembly.
Amir Hekmati's father, Ali, is ailing with brain cancer, and the family is imploring the Iranian government to release their son before time runs out for the elder Hekmati.
"Please just let Amir come home," said Behnaz Hekmati. "Amir didn't do any crime, he didn't do anything. Just let him to come home and make his family happy again."
This month, Amir Hekmati, 30, wrote a letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry saying a confession he made to the spying charges leveled by Iran were "false" and "based solely on confessions obtained by force, threats, miserable prison conditions, and prolonged periods of solitary confinement."
Hekmati's family said he had gone to Iran to visit his grandmother when he was arrested in August 2011, accused by Iran's Intelligence Ministry of working as a CIA agent.
Born in Flagstaff, Arizona, then raised in Flint, Michigan, Hekmati graduated from high school and joined the U.S. Marines, where he served four years, becoming a rifleman and also serving in Iraq.
His parents came to the United States in 1979 as the Islamic revolution spread across Iran.
Two years ago Hekmati surprised his parents by telling them he wanted to visit Iran for the first time, to meet relatives he had never seen -- including his ailing grandmother -- and find his roots.
"We know there is a risk involved," Behnaz Hekmati said. "We were always cautioning. And me, as a mother, because I know, I grew up in that country, I always cautioned about, you know, if something happened. But my kids, they said, 'Mom, my friend, they went, they came back, you know. And nothing's gonna happen.' And they never believe me, you know ... that it's very dangerous."
In August 2011, Amir Hekmati called his mother from Iran to say he was having the time of his life and he would be coming home soon. He told them he would leave two days after a final farewell party his Iranian relatives were having on August 29.
That party came and went; Hekmati never showed up.
For three months, no one in his family knew anything about Hekmati's whereabouts. Then one day in December 2011, Iranian state television aired Hekmati's purported confession he was a CIA spy, and announced that he was imprisoned.
The suspect was "tasked with carrying out a complex intelligence operation and infiltrating the Iranian intelligence apparatus," Iran's Press TV reported at the time.
The family described being in total shock.
"That day we saw his face. And he was confessing ... he's a CIA spy, and I said, 'Wow,' " his mother said.
Behnaz Hekmati has said all along that her son's confession was fabricated and forced by his Iranian captors, a position the U.S. State Department supports.
"They had three months to make this story," his mother said. "They knew from beginning this is a good catch, you know. ... He's a Marine."
She said she believes that's why the family was not initially allowed to talk to her son.
"That's why they didn't want us to talk to him. Because he's going to tell us the truth, what happened," Behnaz Hekmati said. "And they just come up with this story. And an attorney told us same thing. He said, 'He didn't do anything.' "
Asked why it happened to his son, Ali Hekmati offered some thought.
"Naturally, we have some speculations that someone got jealous of him and didn't like the idea that he lives in America, and they are living over there in Iran," his father said. "(That person) probably came up with some lies about him, called him a CIA spy, (because) that was his original charge."
The initial charge and detention has stretched to a two-year ordeal. Weeks after his on-air confession broadcast on Iranian television, Amir Hekmati was tried in an Iranian court and sentenced to death. Months later, Iran's Supreme Court overturned his death sentence and ordered a retrial. During his imprisonment, Hekmati spent 16 months in solitary confinement and went on a monthlong hunger strike.
The Hekmati family has tried to bring public attention to Amir's plight, hoping to secure his release. Letter after letter, plea after plea, Amir's sister Sarah has struggled to get political support to intervene.
Now that Iran has elected a more moderate president, Hassan Rouhani, in place of firebrand Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the family may have a better chance for his release.
"We just hope that we are reaching the ears -- especially now with this new transition in government in Iran -- the ears of the right people," Sarah Hekmati said.
The State Department has said Amir Hekmati's imprisonment follows a pattern by the Iranian regime, which it says "has a history of falsely accusing people of being spies, of eliciting forced confessions, and of holding innocent foreigners for political reason."
Hekmati is the latest in a series of Americans -- most of them Iranian-Americans -- to face arrest in the country in recent years:
• In 2007, Iran arrested several Iranian-Americans -- including Kian Tajbakhsh, Ali Shakeri and Haleh Esfandiari, who were all later released. (That same year retired FBI agent Robert Levinson went missing after last being seen on Iran's Kish Island. Despite photos from his captors, his whereabouts are still unknown.)
• In May 2008, retired Iranian-American businessman Reza Taghavi was arrested on suspicion of supporting an anti-regime group. He was released more than two years later.
• In 2009, three U.S. hikers, also accused of spying, were arrested and ultimately released.
• Tajbakhsh was re-arrested in July 2009 amid post-election protests and a massive government crackdown. In March 2010, he was allowed a temporary release that was later extended, according to the website freekian09.org. The Iranian-American scholar is not allowed to leave the country, the website says.
• Journalist Roxana Saberi was arrested in January 2009 and convicted of espionage in a one-day trial that was closed to the public. She was freed in May that year.
• Literary translator Mohammad Soleimani Nia was detained in January 2012
• Christian pastor Saeed Abedini was reportedly detained in September 2012
Last week, Iran released at least a dozen other political prisoners, including one prominent human rights lawyer. Then, on Monday, the government released dozens more prisoners.
"My wishful thinking was praying and hoping that Amir's name was among that list of people that were released," his sister Sarah said. "It wasn't. But we're not going to give up."
Behnaz Hekmati made a tearful plea to Iran's new president, in English and Farsi, parent to parent, she says, to let her son come home.
"It's more than two years," she said, "Just let Amir come home. ... Amir didn't do any crime, he didn't do anything. Just let him to come home and make his family happy again."

Police evidence destroyed by storm
From the NY Times:
Perched on a narrow crook of land jutting into New York Harbor, the Erie Basin auto pound and evidence warehouse seems a logical place to store hundreds of seized cars, thousands of guns and 9,846 barrels of evidence containing sensitive DNA material.
It is easy for the New York Police Department to safeguard the secluded bunker, in Red Hook, Brooklyn, from potential thieves.
But not, it turns out, from the surrounding water.
As Hurricane Sandy lashed the city, the surge breached the warehouse's roll-top doors and hurtled hundreds — perhaps thousands — of its barrels into the wet muck. The storm wreaked similar havoc at another Police Department warehouse by the water, along Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Now, the damage is having an impact on the courts.
In at least six criminal trials in recent weeks, a police official has had to testify that evidence was inaccessible, but still existed, said Paul J. Browne, the chief spokesman for the Police Department.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers said they were concerned that many more cases could emerge. "This is likely to be the tip of the iceberg," said Steven Banks, chief lawyer for the Legal Aid Society.

The filing covers "computer game software for personal computers and home video game consoles" as well as "motion picture films about action and adventure."
Going by its official website, Gearbox currently has three unannounced projects in development alongside Aliens: Colonial Marines. However, there's no guarantee that "Z-Day" is among those projects--last year, the company filed for several War Hero trademarks, including World War II Hero, but explained that such a project was "something down the road" and had yet to be discussed with any "potential partners."
We've reached out to Gearbox for additional details, and will update accordingly.

William Curtis Rolf: Armillaries & Telescopes
Drawn from the archives of fine art photographer William Curtis Rolf, his exquisite black-and-white photographs depict a life-long affection for the 18th- and 19th-century lifestyles of France and England. These instruments were part of the collection of Peter the Great of Russia, housed in the Kunst Kammer, Saint Petersburg. Peter the Great was an insatiable student of the natural sciences and technologies of his era, including architecture and ship building. In the early 18th century he took Russia out of the Middle Ages and brought the breadth of knowledge of Western Europe to Saint Petersburg. Rolf was fascinated by this view of the instruments with the dome of Saint Isaac's Cathedral in the background.

Last night, Apple approved the latest version of Evernote for iPhone, iPad and iPod (v 3.4) This update includes some exciting new features and take advantage of the capabilities of the upcoming iOS 4.2. The new operating system adds support for multi-tasking on iPad, which works great in Evernote. You can go back and forth between Evernote and other apps without losing your place. Really handy. But iOS 4.2 features are only one aspect of this release. Here's a list of the new features that are available right now:
Image multi-select
I take a lot of photos with my iPhone, then selectively bring the best into Evernote. That process used to be a bit of pain, but not anymore. Now, you can choose as many photos as you like at one time and either create a single photo-packed note (5 images max) or have Evernote automatically spread them across multiple notes. To do this, tap on Camera Roll, then tap the Send To icon in the lower left corner of the screen. Now, choose your photos. Note: In order for this to work you need to enable geolocation services for Evernote (you probably already have). To do this, go to iPhone Settings > General > Location Services > Evernote.
Tip: If you tap and hold on an image it will turn white, then you can swipe your finger to choose your photos instead of tapping individually.
When you finish selecting your photos, choose either Single Note or Multiple Notes along the bottom of the screen. Image multi-select is also great for choosing among the photos created by the iPhone's HDR mode.
Advanced Tip: Tap on Camera Roll with two fingers to access your camera roll folders, making it easier to find the photo you're looking for.
Audio note improvements
90-minute audio notes
Audio notes are supersized in this release to a whopping 90-minute max. This turns Evernote into the perfect recorder for everything from long meetings to conference keynotes to media interviews.
Improved audio playback control
Controlling audio playback is better than ever. Not only can you play and pause right from within a note (no more launching Quicktime), but you can also control Evernote audio from the dock player, as well as peripherals such as headphones and car audio kits.
Easily send files into Evernote from other apps (iOS 4.2)
iOS 4.2 allows apps to register themselves as destinations for certain file types. Evernote is now registered for PDF, TXT, WAV, MP3, HTML, and several others. This means that you'll be able to send files into Evernote directly from other applications.
In Safari and Mail
Certain file types (PDF, TXT) now have an Open in button at the top right corner when they're viewed. Tapping on the button will show Evernote as an option. Opening the file in Evernote will create a new note in Evernote with that file as an attachment. To send an audio file into Evernote, tap and hold on the file.
Third party apps
Developers can now enable the same functionality in their applications. There are already many applications that can send files into Evernote. Look for many more to add the Open in feature, which will allow you send files into Evernote from anywhere.
Printing from Evernote (iOS 4.2 required)
Making a hardcopy of a note no longer requires your desktop. When you see a note that you like, tap on the Send to button in the note and choose Print. In order for this feature to work, you need to have the latest version of OS X with AirPrint configured, and there needs to be a printer on the network that supports Apple's AirPrint.
And more…
No Evernote release is complete without a whole bunch of behind-the-scenes bug fixes that make using Evernote all the more enjoyable. This one's no different. And there's lots more to come. Stay tuned.

USFWS National Digital Library
FORREST McCARTHY
MADISON: This is Mark Madison. It's March 4th, 2009, and I have with me Forrest McCarthy, who is a mountain guide and a geographer. Just finished up a very interesting in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He's come to NCTC to talk about it this evening and he was kind enough this afternoon to put aside a little time to do a quick Podcast here.
So, Forrest, tell us a little about your background.
McCARTHY: Thanks, Mark, for having me here. I'm really excited to be at NCTC.
Yeah, I've kind of got a diverse background. I mean, it all kind of centered around, I guess, you know, exploration and adventuring in wild places in one way, form or another.
I've been working as a mountain guide for nearly 20 years now. I work for XM Mountain Guides in Wyoming. Most of my guiding has been on the Grand Teton and Wind Rivers, but I've been fortunate enough -- I worked for a company, Alpine Ascents International for a few years and got to guide in South America in Aconcagua and Vinson Massif in Antarctica. And been on 10 expeditions on Denali in Alaska. And also I've done some guiding for the U.S. Antarctic Program. So I spent a bunch of time down there as well. Also worked as a wildlife biologist studying wolverines for the Wildlife Conservation Society.
And got my master's degrees in physical geography, although I was actually -- what led me -- my bachelor's was in outdoor education from Prescott College, but doing a lot of the work I was doing in the Arctic and Antarctica, it got me interested in graduate work, and so I studied physical geography at the University of Wyoming.
MADISON: Great. Tell us a little about what you're going to talk about tonight in your presentation.
McCARTHY: So in 2006 I was very fortunate, I got invited to join George Schaller with his 50th anniversary expedition to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. George Schaller, when he was 23 years old, when he was a graduate student himself, a master's candidate at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, himself and Brina Kessel and Bob Krear, who I was at the University of Wyoming at the time, joined Olaus and Mardy Murie to spend the summer in the Sheenjek Valley of the Arctic Refuge.
50 years later, George returned to the Arctic Refuge. He hadn't been there -- that was his first time back, believe it or not, and so it was very, very exciting to get to go back there with him.
And keeping in the spirit of the '56 expedition, George Schaller and the expedition organizer, Jonathan Waterman, invited three graduate students, and I got chosen as one of those three graduate students, and at the time, as I said, I was in graduate school, and needed to come up with a thesis, and so I wanted to somehow integrate that trip into my thesis work in physical geography.
Luckily at the University of Wyoming Geography Department there had been some expertise in former students that had done a lot of work on documenting landscape change through repeat photography. So that became kind of a real obvious way to do it, and it had a real neat historical element because a lot of the photos I duplicated were from the original '56 Murie expedition, and a lot of the focus of the expedition was to look at how things like climate change and energy development are impacting Arctic Alaska. So I was able to really have -- incorporate that into my thesis as well.
MADISON: So, Forrest, did you find evidence of global climate change in Arctic Refuge?
McCARTHY: I found impacts that -- of the impacts of climate change in the Arctic that are consistent with a lot of other research. I mean, I didn't personally collect any weather data or climate data, but according to a lot of other research that -- the known warming in Arctic Alaska is driving the advancement of tree cover, shrub cover, recession of glaciers, and all my photographs were consistent with those -- with that other research.
MADISON: Great. Well, besides scientific research, it was also a hell of an expedition, and you probably have a lot of stories. You were out there a while. You were with very interesting people. But would you share one of your interesting adventure stories with us in Arctic?
McCARTHY: Certainly the highlight was at the end of the expedition -- part of it -- was when George Schaller was there back in 1956, he had left Olaus and Mardy Murie at Last Lake and said, "Hey, I'm going to go back -- I just want to go up for a 10-day hike. I'll be back." And he thought he would be shorter -- it would take him a shorter period of time, but he didn't want to worry Mardy Murie, so he told her he would be gone 10 days, and some real basic simple supplies went out, and it was also -- keep in mind that that was the same summer the USGS was making the first good maps of the area, and he went out and did this about 200-mile trek through what is now the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and he took photographs. So part of my research is I wanted to go and duplicate those photographs, which gave me a good excuse to convince Jonathan Waterman, and to save the expedition some money, and one of our other graduate students -- so instead of flying back to Arctic village in Fairbanks from Last Lake, they got -- the expedition bought us a seat on a mail flight from Kaptovic (phonetic), and myself and Martin Robards, one of the other graduate students traversed the Brooks Range and got to follow George's footsteps up to the very head of the Sheenjek Valley and the Sheenjek Glacier.
MADISON: That's great. Well, Forrest, thanks for your time. We're really looking forward to your presentation tonight, and thanks again for coming out to NCTC this spring. Looking forward to it.
McCARTHY: Is it already spring? Doesn't feel like it in D.C.
MADISON: No, it doesn't feel like it!
McCARTHY: Felt like spring when I left Wyoming, but it's colder in D.C. than it is in Jackson Hole.
MADISON: End of winter, I guess. So thanks again, Forrest. Appreciate it.
McCARTHY: You're welcome. Thanks for having me.
MADISON: I'm sure it's a little warmer than Arctic.

Emerging Learning Design 2013 Conference
Friday, June 7, 2013 from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Conference Mission
The mission of the Emerging Learning Design Conference is to showcase best practices in design and implementation by bringing together those interested in engaging in a vibrant and dynamic discourse regarding pedagogy and how technology can better enhance it.
2013 Conference Theme – Learning As Disruption
The Emerging Learning Design 2013 Conference Theme is Learning As Disruption. "How learning occurs" has become the disruptive force that affects an educator's decision process in all that occurs in the classroom, including pedagogy, curriculum design, and incorporation of technology of a course. Since Christensen's book "Disrupting Class" began to influence the national (and global) conversation, learning as a disruptive force has been a hot topic in professional development, on campuses, and at conferences. When learning becomes the focus of education, the students' experiences become relevant and motivating factors that drive what occurs in the learning experience, in or out of a classroom. As Apte pointed out in 2003, "learning is about transformation, it's about change, it's about seeing yourself in relation to the world differently". The 2013 ELD Conference Theme "Learning As Disruption" is designed to help presenter and attendee alike address this important issue.
The 2013 conference will take place on the campus of Montclair State University. MSU is located in northern New Jersey, 14 miles west of Manhattan and is easily accessible by car, bus, or train.
We are pleased to announce that our Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Christopher Hoadley
Dr. Chris Hoadley is associate professor in the Educational Communication and Technology Program and the Program in Digital Media Design for Learning. He has over 35 years of experience in designing, building, and studying ways for computers to enhance collaboration and learning. Currently his research focuses on collaborative technologies and computer support for cooperative learning (CSCL). Hoadley is the director of dolcelab, the Laboratory for Design Of Learning, Collaboration & Experience. He is an affiliate scholar for the National Academy of Engineering's Center for the Advancement of Scholarship in Engineering Education (CASEE) and was awarded a Fulbright for 2008-2009 in the South Asia Regional program to study educational technologies for sustainability and empowerment in rural Himalayan villages. Other interests include research on and through design, systems for supporting social capital and distributed intelligence, the role of informatics and digital libraries in education, and science and engineering education. Hoadley previously chaired the American Educational Research Association's Special Interest Group for Education in Science and Technology (now SIG: Learning Sciences), and served as the first president of the International Society for the Learning Sciences. Hoadley earned his baccalaureate in cognitive science from MIT, and a masters in computer science and doctorate in education from UC Berkeley. He previously taught at Stanford University, Mills College, and Penn State University in education, computer science, and information sciences.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Port Arthur Police report they arrested 52-year-old Gayle Annette Waller on Nov. 3 after discovering the body of her ex-husband, 59-year-old Daniel Lee Dubois, on Nov. 2, nearly a week after the man was stabbed to death.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
For this week's New York Times crossword puzzle, pick up a copy of this week's The Examiner on newsstands now.

By Sam Mamudi
Having noted the market's positive move earlier today, perhaps it's time for a bit of caution:
(Click on the image for a larger size.)
That's from Barclays Equity Research analyst Barry Knapp, who notes that the last few times the Standard & Poor's 500 index has hit a forward price-to-earnings ratio over 13, it's almost immediately seen a drop. As Knapp writes:
In each of these instances, the reality of 2% trend growth squashed hopes of achieving economic escape velocity, and investors turned their attention back to fixed income markets, as well as the parts of the equity market with bond-like characteristics.
Knapp goes on to suggest that the recent richer market multiples are thanks more to China's recovery than the rebound in US housing, particularly "given that the two sectors most closely associated with Asia – materials and industrials – look the most stretched relative to those prior peaks. Energy has also had a strong recent recovery."
And, ending on even more of a downbeat note, Knapp outlines why he thinks the market may be due a drop:
Additionally, it is looking increasingly likely that the sequestration spending cuts will be allowed to go into effect in March. It appears to us that the $200bn in fiscal tightening, predominately tax hikes, is imbedded in private economist forecasts, but the sequestration-related cuts are not. Further, based on the experience in Europe in 2012, the risk is that fiscal multipliers will prove larger than estimated. Given equity market earnings forecasts and valuations, we think equity investors are considerably more optimistic than economists and may be positioned for disappointment as the economic outlook slips back towards trend, despite a world awash in central bank liquidity.
It seems odd, after all the bearish sentiment, to read that investors "may be positioned for disappointment" but the evidence of flows into stock funds suggest many have come back possibly too late.

Hi Fish,
Not that I'm an expert by any means.
Love the potential in your shot- its a real 'peek-a-boo'
If I took that shot...I would crop a little more tightly around the fish and see how it looks- make the essence of the 'peek a boo' aspect of the shot a bit more pronounced.
If I was there taking the pic at the time- maybe think of trying for black background as the blue one is taking away a bit from the fish.
In an ideal world- this could involve increasing shutter speed and having a single strobe light coming from top downwards- make the fish the star- assuming of course he is playing the game with you- and you have the time to experiment!
There is no right or wrong- its what you want to convey and what you are happy with that counts most.
Hope this helps?

Nice pic.
We cannot get the fish to be where we want, when we want. But the fish gets blended to the coral in this shot.
If you could take the fish and camera angle - up and right...so the fish is surrounded by the blue and the coral is smaller (perhaps no more than 1/3 of the frame) then it might be better. Did I explain that to make any sense at all?
Here is another way to word what I am trying to describe. Imagine the fish frozen in the frame location. Then move the picture (the fish moves too, its frozen relative to the frame) up and right until the coral covers the left and bottom sections only and the fish is surrounded by blue. But then again, we cannot make the fish be there when we want it.
With the current composition, you might try post processing to darken the coral compared to the fish so that the fish pops out a bit more. Any good with Lightroom or photoshop? Might be fun to work on it a bit.
Just a thought since you asked for any feedback.
I am certainly no expert in this field..just trying to learn, like you.

It doesn't taste like you're on a diet.
Naples, Florida (PRWEB) October 1, 2009
As diet food delivery company Bistro MD grows in popularity, their menu selection grows as well. Dieters on one of company's doctor-designed plans enjoy three gourmet meals and two snacks a day. The menus, which rotate weekly, now include Roasted Vegetable Frittatas, Mixed Berry Crepes, Sirloin Burritos, Gulf Rock Shrimp Primavera, and Moroccan Warm Lentil Salad.
Registered dietitian Christina Shatlock, head of Bistro MD's nutrition support team, says that variety is essential in a meal plan. "When you're happy with the taste and selection of a diet, you're much more likely to stick with it."
If past meal quality is any indicator of what's to come, dieters can look forward to being pleased by the new items. Bistro MD customer Dianne Reynolds-Cane, M.D. says that the assortment of dishes keeps her on track and satisfied. "The meal plan offers a wide variety of cuisines that keeps me looking forward to the next flavorful meal."
Adding to the variety enjoyed by Reynolds-Cane and thousands of others are this season's new selections which have been inspired by fare from around the world.
The Roasted Vegetable Frittata is based on the popular breakfast treat enjoyed in the Neapolitan countryside. Bistro's lighter frittata gives you a medley of fresh roasted vegetables, eggs, and low-fat cheese with a refreshing side of fruit.
The Mixed Berry Crepe is a classic French breakfast prepared with an American twist. Bistro MD chefs mixed tangy-sweet berries in a delicate, delicious crepe with sweetened fat-free cream cheese and fillets of Canadian-style bacon.
The Sirloin Burrito draws from Mexican and South American inspiration to spice up the diet. Seasoned lean ground sirloin and shredded cheese are grilled between hearty whole-wheat tortillas and served with a side of vegetarian bean chili.
Gulf Rock Shrimp Primavera is a light and refreshing Italian inspired meal in a Californian sauterne. Succulent gulf rock shrimp are tossed with broccoli and cauliflower crowns in whole-wheat rotelle pasta with lemon and garlic sauce.
The Warm Lentil Salad entices taste buds with ground cinnamon, torn cilantro and smoked paprika flavors found in Moroccan dishes. The lentils are poached with bay leaves and whole cloves and presented with a coriander grilled chicken, toasted almonds, and raisins.
"Most of our clients have tried other diets that lacked variety and gourmet quality," Shatlock explains. Bistro MD dishes are designed by food lovers for food lovers. "One of the most common calls we get is a client in disbelief that food of this quality can help them lose weight," Shatlock says. "It doesn't taste like you're on a diet."
Bistro MD offers gourmet diet meals delivered to customer's home. Each dish is designed by the founding doctor and prepared by expert chefs. The company has become a leader in diet meal delivery by offering quality food and customer service in a convenient manner. Bistro MD also specializes in diabetic meal plans, senior meal delivery, and vegetarian meal plans.

Doesn't he have a nice ass if anybody has pics of it since he is 18 now please post i would but don't know how
OMG I love him!! I hope there are pics of him out there somewhere.
Corbin's so sexy! He's legal and I want him!
hey its cool that people are responding to my posts yay
I find him cute, but I just can't stand that hair of his!
I think you mean "Push It to the Limit".... He says "Just Do It" at the beginning.
Or "Deal With It"?
yall r nuts i love his hair its so big and inviteing
hes gettin hotter and hotter
His ass is so freaking jerk-worthy, and his hair actually makes me harder, if you can imagine...
"Somewhere over the rainbow..."
You all are a bunch of R. Kelly's.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
I personally say that he looks better with his hair pulled back in a ponytail but he is cute with his hair in a curly 'fro.
i love his ass in Deal With It
corbin is so sexy can anybody find some hot pics of him preferably of his ass i've had no luck!
corbin is so sexy can anybody find some hot pics of him preferably of his ass i've had no luck!
he gives the gay vibe too much for me i want some masculinity please.
its the jeans baby
Don´t find him attractive at all, like zack Efron, they need to get more mature they are very girlish, sorry,
i would like to see him do something different with the hair but other that that i think so hot!!!
i TOTALLY AGREE!
i bet he is packin which is cool
ok so i think corbin is soo hot!!!!!
i would like some shirtless pictures or videos please...
i'll start http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaiXj5IfF1A
that was hot
What is that Kid 12?
He's 18 and sexy as hell!
But the video must have been taken when he was at least 15?!? So I'm going to walk away from that one.
Does anyone have any sexy pics of corbin blue he is so fing hot
I think Tony does, and MarkH too. I used to have a list of everyone who had sexy pics of Corbin Bleu but I lost it when my hard drive crashed.
There once was a young boy named poopie
Who was categorized as a newbie
He loved Corbin Bleu
And everyone knew
He wanted to be a Bleu groupie!
I don´t find any of the dumb boys from latest Disney films hot at all!! Zack maybe an exception after watching hairspray and seeing he´s growing up really nice.hehehe, but the rest...included this boy with that name and that horrible haircut hehehe not hot at all for me.
his ass is to die for
I'm wwwaaaayyyyyy too old for Mr. Bleu.........
However I'd be willing to bet he is better in bed than Zac
Corbin is mine! He's so incredibly sexy! Especially nowadays with the facial hair and the muscles!
hahaha I wish there were some good pics of him...
He's kinda cute, but he's WAY young. I need a guy with experience. Plus he really needs to get rid of that God awful beard!!! UGH, he looks like a friggin man-boy or something!! The least he could do is put the curls in a ponytail or somethin'!!!
How do you get the pic to appear full-sized in the thread, and not a clickable thumbnail attachment?
In either the quick reply or post reply feature there should be a little button that has like a pic of mountains and a sun on a yellow background. When you hold the pointer over it, it should say Insert Image. Click it and it will ask you to insert the pic you want to insert's Location address (the pic has to come from the internet for it to pop up on a webpage on the forum) For example, the cobin picture came from here: http://corbin-b.com/gallery/albums/u...al_suite05.jpg
not from my hard drive. To get the address all you need to do is right click and press copy image location or address and paste it in the box that pops up and then you're set!!
Also you could use the img tags. () just paste the address between the IMG's. Hope this helps!
That was a very big help, actually! Thanks--let me try...
AND IT WORKED -- Thanks, sumyunguy!
no prob
his ass is amazing
yes plz some fakes or some bulge pics
Hey asdffdsa123,
If you want to post your picture, click on the "go advanced" button. Scroll down and click on "Manage attachments", click on one of the select buttons and select the pic you want to post from your computer, then click on upload. When the upload has finished you can close the special window. No go about as a normal message on JUB. Good luck!
Ps. Maybe you should put your request on the "Best celeb fake pics"
lmfao hahahaha
thats so funny, im not attracted to these guys but its so funny to see their fakes and to know old men like yourselves like em lmfao!
Corbin is my husband!! Soooo freaking sexy!

Suffolk Downs began its fundraising efforts with the sale of "Boston Strong" apparel on Kentucky Derby Day (May 4) and Preakness Stakes Day (May 18). In addition to the proceeds raised from sales of the apparel, Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ: CZR), Suffolk Downs' partner for its proposed resort casino development, has committed $50,000 to The One Fund.
"We look forward to the start of a new racing season and welcoming back our loyal fans and horsemen and women who have continued to support our racing program," said Chip Tuttle, Suffolk Downs' Chief Operating Officer. "The Suffolk Downs community of employees and horsemen, like so many others locally, wanted to show its support of the victims of the recent tragedy. We thank our friends at the B.A.A. especially for allowing us to pay tribute to their iconic image in this way."
After Opening Day, racing will be conducted every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday through the first week of July, which will also include a special live card on Thursday, July 4th. The following week, Tuesdays will be added to create a four-day schedule (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday) through the first week of October. The track will then return to a three-day week with Tuesdays dark through Monday, October 29 and the meet will conclude on Saturday, November 2 to coincide with the Breeders' Cup World Championships. As it did the last two years, the track is awaiting approval of legislation to reduce the number of racing days required to offer simulcasting from 100 to 80.
The track will hold a program of eight stakes races for registered Massachusetts-breds, each with a purse of $50,000, beginning with the Rise Jim Stakes on Saturday, July 20 and concluding with the Norman Hall Stakes on Saturday, October 26.
Suffolk Downs reached an agreement with the New England HBPA last summer to maintain a total of $8.5 million in purses for the meet, ensuring daily overnight purses of $106,250, the same as 2012.
"We are very excited about the upcoming meet and we appreciate all the work Suffolk Downs ownership and management has undertaken to preserve racing here," said Anthony Spadea, President of the New England HBPA. "We remain optimistic about the future of racing at Suffolk Downs and we look forward to continuing to work together toward our common goal of sustaining the racing industry and the positive impact it has on the agricultural community in this state."

text: I have a pioneer deh-p700bt. Ive been having a few issues with my system so I took my head unit in for warranty work. After getting it back and the people saying there was nothing wrong with it, i reinstalled it and continued to have ground noise. I thought I had figured it out, but didn't. In short, I got fed up with it and ran some cheap speakers directly to the HU. You'd figure it would be all good right? Im not getting any sound. It worked with the car off. I took it for a drive and all of a sudden, no sound. I turned it off, then back on and it worked. Hit a bump and it hasn't worked since. Any ideas?

1981 Subaru GL 4 WD 4 speed manual trans. 1800cc motor, 163k miles. It starts. It runs. It stops. It is uniquely outfitted with "passing light" in the center of the front grille with retractable logo. At present it stays up/open, but the light works. These are few and rare, I believe. She needs TLC! Georgia car.

Hi , I do believe this is an excellent blog. I stumbled upon it on Yahoo , i will come back once again. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and help other people.
So excited to be apart!!!
Hi there! Your write-up rocks too as getting a reputable wonderful topic..thanks.
Do we have to join the group? If so, how's that done? I've been following on my browser for the last 3 studies and have also left comments. Does that mean I've joined? Love this group and looking forward to this summer's study. Thank you to all of you for your input and sharing God's wisdom.
I love she reads but I cannot find a current ongoing discussion…everything I see happened weeks ago…please help me find you….
Carmen a new study will start on July 1st..Hope that helps.
Same Day Delivery Says: Hi girls ! you don,t need to worry. We are with you. Take patience.
What's up, I desire to subscribe for this web site to get most recent updates, thus where can i do it please help out.
I am new here and love it! I signed up on YouVersion for the Nehemiah and Philippians study. I blog at http://www.skinnedupknees.com (Skinned Knees) Looking forward to getting to know you all! I'm also on Instagram @christypeffly82
I really enjoy reading the Youversion App. I've had the Holy Bible app on both my iphone and iPad ever since I got them. I wasn't too happy with the latest update (particularly to the NKJV version), but I got used to it. This ministry is surely The Lord's doing. :-) Blessing's to my Brethren in Christ :-)
I just started the Hosea plan, but when I finish reading the passage for the day, I don't see the link to the site. Am I missing something? I am reading via iPhone.
I just started the new Nehemiah series. I actually used some of your devotions a while ago and loved them, but as usual I fell out of the habit. I was so inspired/challenged/motivated/convicted by everything here that I wrote about it in my blog and asked my readers to hold me accountable to doing a daily devotion. This is an area I am seriously lacking in my Christian life. I love that this feels like a community – so daily I am reminded and challenged to join you all on the same journey. Thank you! This was just the wake up call I needed.
Very inspiring. I shall be passing this onto to somebody i love…. Keep on keeping on. The soul is a fantastic thing to behold.
Such a great yet interesting post. Thank you very much for sharing this helpful stuff.
brand new to SRT. I see alot of GREAT opportunities, just not sure where to start!! Already I can feel the Holy Spirit in 'this place"
I am new to this devotional. I am also new to blogging. I love how the holy spirit can use modern day technology ti bring a cliser relationship to Gods people.
Hello sisters in Christ. I've just subscribed. Really happy to be here.
Hello there I am so happy I found your webpage, I really found you by error, while
I was looking on Yahoo for something else, Anyways I am
here now and would just like to say cheers for a remarkable post and a
all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design),
I don't have time to browse it all at the moment but I have saved it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the superb work.
I found your site by looking for Easter related bible study plans on You Version! I'm excited :) Just the type of thing to keep me on track digging in deeper daily and being connected to community. I instantly went to all your blogs and followed you of Facebook. God Bless. You wil be hearing alot from me.
So glad to have found She Reads Truth. Between the study plans and the boards, you all help me get through the day. I will try to be more active on the boards going forth.
This is great! If you need any Test Banks or Solutions Manuals for your college studies please check out what we have to offer.
Just started the plan. This is just what I needed. I coulsn't sleep so I started watching television and I was feeling drained. It was a show about Preacher's Daughters and the show lacked grace and love and it wasn't doing anything for my soul. I decided to look at some encouraging things online and I stumbled across this site and it feels like a breath of fresh air. Thank you
I have been moving around a lot and have had more than quite a few bumps, stops, changes, etc…I've left a lot of my close friends by the wayside in all this…I guess just really going through a desert of sorts and have been praying for some time now for a devotional to meet women and…well this is an answer to prayer.
I'm really enjoying the Psalms of Ascents plan. Looking forward to the rest of the journey.
Wow, amazing blog format! How long have you ever been blogging for?
you make blogging look easy. The whole look
of your website is great, let alone the content material!
Hi there, I'm so excited to find this community of Christian women. I can't wait to begin. I've just downloaded YouVersion on my iPhone and I can't find the Soul Detox plan. Philippians is the most current plan on there. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!

Thank you. I was searching for a new way to read my bible. I love this.
I'm new here, but I really don't think it was an accident that I am here…
Starting today and so excited!
I'm having trouble finding this plan on you version- I've tried some of the suggestions above and still haven't found it. I did find "Living the surrendered Life" but not sure that's the correct plan- cant find the "prayer" one! Help please! Thanks!
Can't wait to start reading! Thank you to Diana at project.inspire for mentioning you on her blog!
i'm having a hard time finding the Daily Devos … is there a link?
Thank you Lauren @ "From My Grey Desk" for helping me find this. I am excited to learn more and grow in faith.
What is the newest plan under on YouVersion? I am having trouble locating it. Thanks!
I just want to say that this is such a great website! I go to the same church as Kacia and when
I heard that she was a part of creating this website I just had to check it out and I'm glad I did! I'm
starting the prayer plan now, which is really great because that has been what God has really been working
with me on recently. This is just another step in the learning process. So thanks! Please check out my blog
if you are interested in following me on my Christian Walk. 1alien.wordpress.com/
I'm in! Thanks for starting this. It's a great idea!
Worry is really a smarter way to say we don't know if God can come through..
I am so glad God lead me to you all. I've been "with you" since the first plan and really like the new one we started today. I hope more and more people jump on board.
I love this its so awesome and fulfilling.
I can't find the plan on YouVerse. Is it still available?
Here's the direct link to the plan: http://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/311-livin…
I am following the reading plan on YouVersion, but mine is saying that I'm on Day 2 (since I just subscribed yesterday) and it won't let me go back to June, when the plan started. Am I missing anything? I'd like to read all of the old daily posts so I'm caught up.
Did you ever get caught up? I'm a newbie.
Im having a hard time finding the it under the "plans". It is telling me that it can't find the plan "living the surrendered life". Help anyone?!?!
I had a hard time too. I searched it and couldn't find it. I finally did by clicking plans-devotional. Scroll down, it's a little way.
Thank you, Casie! I was having a hard time finding it too :)
Hi Ladies! Count me in and I will be adding the badge to my blog. Thanks for doing this. http://iambecomingme.wordpress.com/
Jumping in with both feet! NEED this in my life.
found out about this today from a friend on instagram. so happy to be a part of this! sounds like just what i need right now and i can't wait to get started!
Hi! Where do I find this plan? Is it under a certain category? It doesnt come up for me in the search box. Thanks!
Are you reading my mind? Because this is the PERFECT devotional plan for me right now. Thank you, thank you. Can't wait to get started!
I joined a few days ago (i also heard of you from Kate at The Small Things blog. I'm so excited that you have something like this, I have been going through a 'dry' time in my relationship with Christ, and I love having something to plug into, and keep me encouraged. God bless each of you for doing this:)
I am so brand new here! I think I missed your plan this time, but I'm just in time to start a new one that means! Yipee! I am a Christian but desire to be SO MUCH CLOSER and have so much more depth in my relationship with God and in the Word. Hoping this can help me!!!
I've been hearing about this lately from some blogs I follow.
I've been planning my wedding, and in the midst of that, I lost my job. Now I'm planning a move to a different state, which means I have to find a job there, and it's proving to be difficult. Oh, and figure out how this whole "being married" thing works. I need some truth in my life. So I'm in!
YEOW! So glad, Megan!!!!! :)
So excited to be able to join! Thank you to Kate from The Small Things Blog for posting about this!

The girls of Lynnville-Sully blew past the Montezuma Braves Friday Night, winning 63-30. The Hawks got strong performances out of juniors Rachel Van Wyk and Cassie Cullen. Van Wyk picked up 16 points and 10 rebounds while Cullen led all scorers with 18 points on seven of 14 shooting.
"We played a very good first half defensively not letting Montezuma get into their offense. We attacked the rim and got some good looks inside. In the third quarter we didn't come out ready to play." Hawks coach Jerry Hulsing said.
The Lynnville-Sully boys beat the Montezuma Braves 57-44 on Friday night on the back of a strong first half performance. The Hawks led 38-20 after the first two quarters and were able to hold on despite being outscored 24-19 in the second half.
Leading the way for the Hawks were TJ Cunningham with 14 points, Darin Hofer with 12 and Connor Cullen with 10.
