The Newcastle Craft and Sewing Show always puts a smile on my face... I noticed this sign a few years ago when we first visited this venue. My imagination always runs away with images of ladies rushing in and being passed along on the shoulders of their fellow quilters or crafters... 'Surfing' for bargains and specials!
Here we are, all set and ready for trade.
I will be back in the shop soon, with photos of some new fabrics that have arrived while I have been away.
Until then,

Mayor's Office
Beginning Tuesday, February 8, 2011, parking tickets and citations for other non-moving traffic violations will be handled by the Parking Services Division of the City Urban Development Department. This includes but is not limited to tickets issued during parking bans for snow removal.
Those who want to contest tickets issued on or after February 8 will use a new Parking Services administrative review process explained on the ticket. The City Attorney's office will only handle contested tickets issued before February 8.
This change moves the administration duties previously held by the Violations Bureau in the City Finance Department to the Parking Services Division. The transfer is another step in Mayor Beutler's consolidation of parking-related duties under a single division to more effectively manage the entire parking program. The duties of enforcement, meter maintenance and collections were previously handled by three other departments. These duties are now assigned to Republic Parking, a private firm which operates the off-street, on-street and enforcement responsibilities under the direction of the City's Parking Manager in the Urban Development Department.
For more information on downtown parking, call the Parking Services Division at 441-PARK (7275) or visit parkandgo.org. E-pay services include pre-paid, reserved event parking; monthly billing; the purchase and re-loading of iPark cards; and the payment of parking tickets.

Return to the Sea: Saltworks by Motoi Yamamoto
Motoi Yamamoto is best known for his temporary, intricate, large-scale installations made completely out of salt. It's the type of breathtaking, awe-inspiring artwork you need to experience for yourself to fully comprehend, and luckily for you, Yamamoto's new "Floating Garden" floor installation is on view at The Laband Art Gallery at LMU, along with salt drawings and photographs. An important aspect of the installation is its eventual dismantling, at which point Yamamoto will deliver the salt back to the water—hence the exhibition's title.

Links, 8.22.11Posted: August 22, 2011 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love Leave a comment
Looks like our most recent big news is the transformation of Footnote.com into … Fold3? What sort of name is that? It sounds like something to do with origami. Or poker. Anyway, it doesn't sound like genealogy, is my point. Marketing is so weird sometimes.
On to the links:
Footnote notes: So Ancestry.com starts tweaking Footnote, which it acquired last year — giving it a new name, and putting its emphasis exclusively on military records. More from Michael Hait and Dick Eastman (interesting comments here, too). Megan Smolyenak considers the Footnote changes in tandem with developments with Google News Archive with a twinge of trepidation.
Disappearing acts: This article on tracking down "runaway" husbands (and wives) offers encouragement for those tracking down people who made themselves vanish, whether it was to get married in the first place against their parents' wishes, or to leave a marriage they no longer wanted.
Revolutionary: Reporter Cheryl Wills writes about the "ancestral revolution" born of the current genealogy boom.
Channeling: The Deseret News reports on the expansion and refurbishing of FamilySearch's YouTube channel.
Case study: Nice book review out of Bowling Green, Ky.: Librarian Nancy Richey takes a look at The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation and explains why it's a great example of exciting progress in African-American family history research.
Here's wishing you all a productive week.

Category : Coffee Table.
Topic : Reclaimed wood coffee table. Author : Carvell Romero.
Posted : Fri, Oct 13th 2017 15:34 PM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
Lift top coffee tables sound like a good idea but are only really useful if you intend to keep the surface clear. Otherwise each time that you need to remove or replace an item you have to clear the top of the table first. Often a coffee table with a drawer or shelf can be a more convenient choice. A coffee table will be a key purchase for your living space. It is worth investing the time and energy into choosing a table that will meet both your aesthetic and functional needs and be something that you will use and love for many years.

Alison Sweeney's Fitness Secrets
Alison Sweeney loves a challenge. Take last fall's Nautica Malibu Triathlon, which involved a half-mile swim in the Pacific. "I'm afraid of sharks, but my fear flew out the window as soon as I jumped into the ocean," Alison says. "The current kept pushing me to shore, but I didn't let myself panic, I just kept swimming until I made it to the final buoy" — without spotting a single shark.
Whether it's racing in open water or dropping from a size 12 to a 4, the 36-year-old host of The Biggest Loser and star of Days of Our Lives isn't one to wimp out. "Pushing yourself to do the hard stuff makes you feel accomplished and inspires you to want more," Alison says.
Luckily, she has plenty to keep her busy. Besides filming Loser, competing in her first triathlon, and training for the upcoming Walt Disney World Half Marathon, Alison has just finished writing a novel and is already working on a second — and she's about to start directing episodes of Days. Not to mention that she's the mom of two active kids, Ben, 7, and Megan, 4. "Even if my brain is telling me I can't do something, conquering my fitness goals has shown me I'm so much more capable than I think I am," Alison says.
But that wasn't always the case. A self-professed type A personality, Alison, in her quest for perfection, often prevented herself from trying new things. "If I couldn't be number one or go superfast, I'd give up and not do it at all," she admits. "But I'm learning I can have fun and be proud of myself, even if I'm not the best. Medium speed is okay too!"
Letting go of perfect has been liberating. "It's a positive cycle. You take care of your body, and the next thing you know, you're taking better care of your career and the people you love," Alison says. "With each new accomplishment, I think, Wow, what can I do next?" Read on to find out how she achieves success — and how you can do the same.
Your schedule is crazy. How do you stay on track with exercise?
I used to be one of those people who hated working out. It felt like such a chore. I had to learn that exercise isn't a punishment. My first breakthrough was Spinning class. I love the music, and you can get motivation from the people around you, but you do your own thing at the same time. Finding workouts I enjoy has allowed me to flip it in my head. Now I look forward to that time and the exercise high I feel afterward.
Do you have a set routine?
I would love nothing more, but I can't because my schedule changes every day. I meet with my trainer once a week, and I aim to do cardio 45 to 50 minutes four or five days a week. I find it's best if I plan it out the night before so it's already built into my day.
Okay, so share your secret: How do you fit it all in?
Sometimes I don't, but I take what I can get when I can get it. I'll do strength training in my dressing room between shoots, and I've been known to make business calls while I'm out jogging. I try to mute myself on Bluetooth so they can't hear me huffing and puffing, but I usually end up getting caught. Fortunately, people understand; they're usually jealous they aren't exercising too!
Her Marathon and Motivation Tips
You're about to run the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. What inspired you to sign up?
I'm a lifetime fan of all things Disney, so it's a great opportunity to take my kids and a cool way to see the park. It's also wonderful motivation during the holidays: I can't eat crappy food if I'm going to stick to my training schedule. I might actually plan a long run every January for the rest of my life, because it works!
How do your kids feel about all the training you do?
After I ran the LA Marathon, my son said, "When I'm older, can I run with you, Mommy?" I love that I'm a role model and that my husband and I are setting the example that exercise is important in our lives.
You've done a lot of races this year. What keeps you going back for more?
They make me focus on the achievement rather than on "I'm burning calories" or "I have to look fit for TV." When it's a race, I don't have a choice. I have to get that long run under my belt or I won't be able to finish. It scares you straight, but in a good way.
What accomplishment are you proudest of?
Finishing the marathon. I had a meltdown at mile 21 and had to walk for a while. I had all these feelings of self-doubt. It was really hard to keep going, but I told myself, Whatever you do, don't stop. So I walked and walked, and the race volunteers believed in me. They were cheering, "Come on, Alison!" I realized I wasn't going to die, and I picked up my jog and completed what I started. The finish line was the most beautiful thing I'd ever laid eyes on.
You struggled with your weight when you were younger. What healthy changes did you make to your diet?
I was a total sucker for both the fat-free and sugar-free crazes. I used not to eat breakfast in the morning because I thought it was just one less meal to worry about. When I started Biggest Loser, I wasn't eating enough and would compensate by consuming foods that weren't good for me. I really credit the show for introducing me to quinoa, lentils, and other healthy options that taste good. Now I love going to the farmers' market and then cooking a healthy dinner at home for my family. Instead of a big bowl of pasta and three spears of broccoli, I fill a bowl with vegetables and shrimp and add just a little rice or pasta to make it more satisfying.
Do you sometimes still feel like a chubby person?
Those thought processes are hard to overcome, so that's definitely where Bob's and Jillian's mantras really do echo in my head: "That's an excuse; that's not who you are." It's important to take care of yourself. That includes eating healthier and learning not to beat yourself up when you make a mistake.
Are you more body-confident today than you used to be?
One thing I've learned through fitness: I may not have the best body out there — not even close — but I worked my butt off, literally, for it, and it's okay if it's not as good as someone else's. This is what I've got, and I have to embrace it and be proud of it.
How have your fitness achievements changed you?
Before, I felt intimidated, but now when opportunities come my way, I can jump in and say, "Yeah, let's do it!" The Biggest Loser crew has a softball team in an intramural league where we play other TV shows. I don't know much about softball, but I know I can have fun and be athletic.
If you had two hours to yourself — no kids or demands — which would you choose: sleep, sex, or exercise?
It's terrible to admit, but I'd probably sleep. But if you let me pick two, sex definitely qualifies as exercise for me, so I think I could fit them all in!

San Fermin 2013: Several Bull-Runners Gored Over Final Weekend
A Miura bull gored and seriously injured a 23-year-old Australian woman Sunday in the final running of the bulls at the 2013 San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain. Her injury capped a bloody end to the festivities, where critics say big thrills and high alcohol consumption once again trumped common sense and ethics.
The woman, identified only by the initials J.E., suffered multiple rib fractures and damage to her right lung after being speared by one of the half-ton animals as she clambered to safety over a barrier near the entrance to the bullring. The regional government, organizer of the festival, said she was in "very grave" condition Sunday at Navarra Hospital. She was joined by four others who were also injured in Sunday's bull run.
The Australian is one of just five women to have been gored at the annual fiesta since officials lifted a ban on female participants 39 years ago. Yet her injury is hardly uncommon. Each year, between 200 and 300 participants are hurt, about 3 percent seriously, mostly from being trampled on or gored by the Miura bulls. The animals -- weighing as much as 600 kilograms (1,320 pounds) -- chase the red- and white-clothed participants through a winding 849-meter (928-yard) course to the city bullring each morning of the nine-day celebration.
The 2013 San Fermin Festival's bloody final weekend began Friday, when the bulls gored three men, including an American who had emergency surgery to remove his spleen. Another American was hospitalized and was said to be recovering favorably from a "rectal perforation."
On Saturday, a 19-year-old Spaniard was left in "very serious" condition after he was trampled when runners fell and piled up at the entrance to the bullring. Some 200 others were caught up in the stampede, which injured a total of 23 participants when two of the bulls leapt atop the pile.
Although San Fermin had many near-death escapes, there were no fatalities this year. At least 15 people have been killed at the festival since records began in 1911, including 27-year-old Madrid native Daniel Jimeno, who passed away in 2009 when a bull named Capuchino gored him in the neck.
San Fermin was immortalized in Ernest Hemmingway's "The Sun Also Rises" and gained global recognition thereafter, but is perhaps best known today for the dramatic images and graphic attack videos broadcast on Spanish television and beamed around the world. The revelers' uncertain fate heightens the drama, although the bulls' final destination is predetermined. They'll end up in the bullring at the end of the cobbled course where they'll meet their deaths at the hands of a matador.
It is for this reason -- as well as the poking and prodding that gets the bulls fired up for each run -- that many activists abhor the San Fermin Festival, which honors the patron saint of Pamplona and attracts as many as 2 million tourists to the northern Spanish city each year, including thousands from the U.S., Australia and Britain. Organizations such as PETA and AnimaNaturalis say the 2,000-3,500 participants who line up each morning to run with the bulls unwittingly condone animal cruelty.
Others, including Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, disagree. Despite the sport's waning popularity among Spaniards, Rajoy has vowed to make bullfighting part of Spain's "national patrimony" and secure more funding to ensure its long life.

Drholliday needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Running Health - website is runninghealth.ca (in development)
My name is Jeff and I am a chiropractor - not your everyday run-of-the-mill type but very interested in general well-being with a keen interest in helping the running population. I am trained in numerous aspect of physical medicine and rehabilitaiton to properly diagnose, treat and rehab musculoskeletal conditions with a focus on functional movement impairments and breakdowns that typically leads most to people to say "I don't know how this injury happened". I work with them to figure out the cause of their injury and empower them the knowledge and tools to get better and maintain a good quality of life.
I feel I portray a truly caring and intuitive clinical style while encouraging my patients to maintain and expand their physical activity - hopefully helping them achieve their goals!
My target is an existing patient-base of active, healthy individuals but my goal is to expand and reach out more to the running community. As well, this will then easily be expanded in to the triathlon community and then in to other sport-specific realms (i.e. soccer). This is not intended to service only the elite but rather the active individual of any level - beginner walker to marathon finisher. Including those interested in becoming active and if need be, to lose weight, improve health, etc.
I want a logo that portrays a few things. First of all, too many sports medicine clinics logos just show a person/outline of a person just running. That is too simplistic and too overdone. While I do want the logo to incoporate some sort of active movement in it, it should portray a success or achievement. And of course it must incorporate the name of the company (Running Health and/or the website runninghealth.ca) I have attached a file that I downloaded and altered showing a vector diagram of a runner breaking the finish line tape with the name on the tape. This is simple and colourless, essentially. I like the idea but the concept is too simple (I think). The website colours can be found on this link and it is the 5th skin of brown and blue (http://themeforest.net/item/unite-w…view/90959) so i would like the logo colours to draw from this.

There are so many reasons why I love these biscuits. First of all, they are super easy to make and no special equipment (like a rolling pin or biscuit cutter) is needed. It takes no more than 15 or 20 minutes to make them from mixing the dough to pulling them out of the oven. Then once they are done they are moist and flaky and so tasty (c'mon, look at the picture – you know you want one!). And the best part is that they freeze and reheat beautifully (I just throw the frozen biscuits in the toaster oven on the bake setting). So make a big batch, freeze a bunch in a gallon zip lock freezer bag, and then the next time you want to add a biscuit to your breakfast, lunch or dinner they are ready to go. It honestly couldn't be easier…so go ahead and throw away that refrigerated tube of dough you bought from the grocery store!
Whole Wheat Biscuits
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (I used King Arthur's white whole wheat organic flour)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
In a medium sized bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with whisk or fork. Cut the ½ stick butter into little pea sized pieces and then mix the pieces into the flour mixture. Using a fork, try to mash the butter pieces as you mix it together with the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. It is okay if the outcome just looks like the same pea sized pieces of butter covered with flour. Then pour in the milk and mix it all together. Knead the dough with your hands 8 to 10 times and then turn out onto a counter or cutting board. Pat it out flat with your hands until the dough is a somewhat even ¾-inch thickness (sprinkle with a little flour if necessary). Turn a drinking glass upside down and cut out biscuit rounds. I have also used shaped cookie cutters (like a heart or star) if you have little ones helping you! Then put them on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Yield: 8 – 10 biscuits (depending on the size that you cut them)

I am starting a project to learn spring and MVC I am using visual studio 2012 and c# to make a web project.
My hopes is to have this discussion help guide me and others into using these items with the best practices in mind and maybe even get people to offer ideas and post links to where I can get started on all this.
Here is the general concept I am going to start with, and then everyone is welcome to help correct or refine the architecture. Thanks!!!
Layers of Project =
Model Layer
Business Objects (BO) = these will map logically to database information to create usable models for the project.
Service Layer
Data Access Objects (DAO) = these will be to the classes used to make the ADO stored proc calls to the database.
Service Objects (SO) = this will be the business rules and validation objects that pass data between the DAO and the Controller
View Layer
Controller Objects = these are there to gather data from the views and pass data to the views from the SO
Views = these are the UI pages and controls that make up the web site.
* * * * *
So here is where I am stuck...
= The Service Layer....
I am trying to make my Controllers able to get a BO from the SO and then manipulate that throughout the life of the page. But with each ajax call to the controller method, the BO that is passed in is null.
So where is my architecture breaking down?
What do I need to make sure I have in place (codewise) that would allow spring to keep my BO alive throughout the page ajax postbacks?
Thanks Again!

Jabari Parker, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2013, is listening to his doctors and staying off his fractured foot.
"It's doing well," his father, Sonny Parker, told SportsNet New York on Saturday. "He's staying off of it, which is good. He has the boot. The doctor said stay off of it. He goes to the bathroom with his crutches. He's not putting any pressure on it."
Parker, a 6-8 power forward from Chicago, played through the injury in leading Team USA to victory in the Under-17 World Championship last month in Lithuania. He dominated Australia in his limited action in the championship game, scoring 12 points in 14 minutes. Only after he returned home was the fracture diagnosed via an MRI.
"He's young enough and he doesn't have to have surgery," Sonny Parker said Saturday. "If he stays off of it, in a month or two he'll be back."
Parker expects to be 100 percent well in advance of Chicago Simeon's season, which doesn't begin until December. Parker and Team USA teammate Kendrick Nunn hope to lead Chicago Simeon to a fourth consecutive Illinois state championship next spring. In between, he can focus on his recruitment.
Parker says he hopes to whittle down his 10 finalists -- Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Michigan State, Stanford, Florida, Georgetown, BYU and DePaul -- in the coming weeks and then begin to take recruiting visits.
"Hopefully in September, that's the target date," Sonny told SportsNet on Saturday. "Then, he's going to take his visits and his trips and hopefully make his decision in the fall. If he's not really feeling it feeling it, then wait until the spring.
"He has no No. 1 or No. 2, he doesn't really have a favorite. I told him, 'You have to make a decision.' He likes pretty much all those programs. I don't know if anyone has an advantage or disadvantage. It's just going to come down to him being comfortable in their system where he can grow and develop and get better. He likes all the programs in his top-10 choices."

My wife and I have been blessed by the Lord with a small acreage. The property has a modest house and a wonderful barn and pasture setup. We have decided to go into the Alpaca ranching business and we are looking for a logo to represent our business.
We live in northern Colorado and the ranch is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains with Longs Peak and Mount Meeker as a back drop. We would like to have the logo convey the beauty and peacefulness of the location and perhaps the grace and playfulness of the Alpacas. We are partial to earth tones, and my wife has a penchant for Tuscan gold. Our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is paramount in our lives. If there is a way to tastefully incorporate that fact it would be a plus.
The name of our business is "Amazing Grace Alpacas". We raise huacaya alpacas (not suris). The logo will be used on business cards, on banners and other signage, and also for our web site (under construction). I don't want to constrain creativity but we were thinking the logo might fit across the top of the large width of a business card. However we are open to up and down on the vertical of the short side.

The Jewish history of the Philippines begins with the Spanish Inquisition of the 1500's. These Jews had 2 choices, be forced into Christianity or flee the country to avoid death. Many of these Jews fled Spain to settle in the new Spanish colonies, such as the Philippines.
Those early settlers who fled to the Philippines soon found that it did not guarantee them the freedoms they sought. In the 1590's at least 10 of these Jews were tried and jailed by the Inquisition. Because there was no established tribunal in the Philippines, these court cases were conducted in Mexico City, Mexico. These cases led most of the Jews to practice their faith in secret, in fact the laws of the time would not have permitted any kind of a public Jewish community. This led to there being no organized community until the late 19th century.
The first group of settlers who arrived in the late 1870's were those from Alsace who were escaping the conditions left after the Franco-Prussian War. Some of these Jews were prominent businessmen who were very influential in future business ventures in the Philippines. This was the perfect time for them to establish themselves in the country because the opening of the Suez Canal brought more business from Europe. This also allowed more Jews to arrive which only made the community stronger. Jews from places such as Turkey, Egypt and Syria soon began arriving.
The freedom to be openly Jewish finally came to the Philippines in 1898, when as a result of the Spanish -American War, the United States took control of the islands from Spain. This was truly the beginning of the Jewish community. With the United States in control, many Americans travelled to the Islands. Many were military who stayed after the war, but there were also merchants, teachers and many other trades. The Jewish community in Manila became home to the largest group of Jews in the early 1900's.
In 1901, two men who would become very influential in the Philippines, Emil Bcharach and Morton Netzorg, arrived in Manila. These two men became very successful and were very generous, strong backers of the Jewish people. In fact the synagogue, Temple Emil and the community center, Bachrach Hall, were financed by the Bachrach family and bore his name. The population in the Philippines before 1930, probably never exceeded 500 people.
The period between the mid 1930's and mid 1940's was time that brought the majority of the Jewsto the Philippines. Some of these were the Jews fleeing Shanghai, which was discussed in an earlier post. These German and Polish Jews no longer felt safe living in their new home, having already fled Eastern Europe. The government and people of the Philippines were instrumental in thousands of Jews being able to flee the war. Eventually about 1500 Jews were able to flee Europe and settle in the Philippines. The Jewish population grew to between 2,500 and 3,000. The bravery of the people of the Philippines will long be remembered. Today the Jewish community in the Philippines probably is no more than 500 to a thousand, mostly located in Manila.

Professor J.D. Phillips believes mathematics is not only beautiful, but central to a liberal arts education.
And true to the mathematician he is, Phillips has proof.
Returning to campus from his sabbatical research in the Czech Republic, Phillips presented that proof Friday in Salter Hall as he delivered the 28th LaFollette Lecture in the Humanities, "On Self-Delusion and Unimaginable Beauty: A Mathematician's Reveries from the Margins."
"Like most mathematicians, nearly all my motivation for doing mathematics is its beauty," Phillips said. "But it's hard to describe beauty, especially when it's mathematics. [Attempting to do so,] we mathematicians are usually reduced to awkward analogies and metaphors."
So try this for an unexpected metaphor: The beauty of mathematics is like Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series.
"Young men play sports for a number of reasons…but it's much simpler for us old men," Phillips said. "We watch sport because it is beautiful."
"There is a kind of physical beauty attendant to sport…But this is mere preamble compared to where the deepest, most penetrating beauty in sport lies."
That beauty, Phillips said, occurs when moments of creativity emerge within the constraints of strict rules.
Enter Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kirk Gibson and one of most memorable and oft-replayed moments in baseball history. Bound not only by the strict rules of the game, but also by a serious injury and the fact that he was facing Dennis Eckersly, the best relief pitcher of his day, Gibson steps to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning with his team down one run.
"Grimacing in agony with each swing, he somehow masters his pain and creates a moment of effortless beauty as his smooth-as-silk swing takes the final pitch over the right field wall for a game-winning home run, his legs so injured they can barely carry him around the bases," Phillips said. "A lean beauty that results from the most creative of acts, which emerge on a level playing field in a rigid, rule-bound universe, is common to both mathematics and sport."
"There is, I think, a deep sadness that anchors our yearning for beauty in ways that we're often not aware of," Phillips added. "But an encounter with the beautiful can be an occasion for opening oneself up to the possibility of self-purification.
Sometimes encountering the beautiful, in baseball or mathematics, Phillips said, "can make you want to be a better man or woman."
But perhaps an even stronger contribution of mathematics to liberal education is its ability to "train us in argument."
"As childish and tyrannical as devotion to argument often is, properly wielded…it can also alert you to absurdity by focusing your attention on the unsavory conclusions that can be drawn from faulty premises, premises that otherwise might seem irresistibly seductive," Phillips said. "Argument can liberate you from the oppressive tyranny of foolishness. This is one of the chief reasons that mathematical training in argument plays such a central role in liberal education."
Such training, together with a deep curiosity and developing expertise in a particular discipline, can lead to one of the central aims of liberal education—developing the capacity for judgment.
"The world is indifferent, sometimes even hostile to arguments," Phillips lamented. "Instead, it draws lines in the sand and demands fealty to the "right" side, keep your arguments to yourself, thank you very much.
"But I prove theorems, in a decadent and philosophically problematic garden of aesthetic delights. I make arguments," Phillips said. "Do you know what the world oftentimes feels like to us mathematicians? It feels shrill and uber-earnest; often even tyrannical and oppressive."
Concluding his lecture, Phillips offered an antidote to a "shrill and uber-earnest" world, an antidote he's learning from his Czech colleagues at Charles University in Prague. Most of those teachers were in Prague during the years of the Soviet Union and had to develop "some rather creative ways to navigate through the absurd, and often treacherous, political waters they found themselves in.
"One of the ways my Czech colleagues tell me they did this was with humor, usually in the form of archly subversive jokes," Phillips said, sharing several of those anecdotes.
Then Phillips turned that sense of humor on his own discipline's penchant for proofs.
"I have a research colleague who has a Mr. Spock-like algorithm describing the perfect wife he hopes to someday meet," said Phillips. "He carries it with him in his wallet.
"Need I tell you, he's still a bachelor? A 48-year-old bachelor."

I had some time this weekend to fraps the four bosses in the first instance in the beta, Temple of the Jade Serpent. At level 85, I've yet to have any mana problems, but will touch back on this subject when I hit 86. I haven't reforged back any spirit, and I'm still sitting at about 2600. A few things to note: I had some trouble dropping mushrooms on the last boss, I would drop them, but the third shroom just would not drop. It was getting increasingly frustrating. Tree of Life, when utilizing the lifebloom glyph, is currently instantly adding 3 stacks of lifebloom to each target you cast the spell upon (you can see this on the third boss). And lastly, I found a particularly nasty bug on the last boss involving ToL and Mushrooms. If you pre-plant your shrooms and swap into ToL during the shadow phase of the encounter, and then try to detonate them, you will critical error out. I only caused us to wipe three times to this 😉
I'm a little clunky as my keybinds still aren't second nature to me yet, but it should give you a relative feeling for how healing is looking so far.
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!

The smart money shows no sign of losing confidence in the Australian dollar as analysts belatedly acknowledge the appeal of a high-yielding currency with a world-beating developed economy.
The trade-weighted index for the so-called Aussie reached its highest level since 1985 yesterday, spurring analysts to reverse course after cutting year-end forecasts for the currency. Australia's dollar will likely trade at $1.02 by Dec. 31, up from estimates at the end of March of $1.01, according to the median of 42 forecasts compiled by Bloomberg. Rabobank NA, the currency's most-accurate forecaster, boosted its outlook.
Buoyed by a record mining investment boom, Australia's economy grew 3.6% in 2012, the fastest pace in five years and the best performance among the Group of 10 currency nations. While the government reported today that the unemployment rate rose to the highest level since November 2009, the nation will lead growth through 2015, expanding an average 2.9%, according to Bloomberg surveys of economists.
"The Australian dollar meets our criteria of a strong currency and we do believe it will be an important beneficiary of continued central-bank reserve diversification," Jonathan Lewis, New York-based chief investment officer and a founder of Samson Capital Advisors LLC, which oversees about $7.3 billion, wrote in an e-mailed response to questions. "We believe this is a very long-term investment theme."
Reserve Managers
Three-quarters of 60 central banks polled in February said they are investing in or may buy Australian dollars, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc said April 7.
Australia's dollar rose for a fourth day, strengthening 0.1% to $1.0558 at 9:23 a.m. New York time after advancing to $1.0582, the most since Jan. 11. It has remained above $1 for a record nine-month stretch. The Reserve Bank of Australia's trade-weighted index, which tracks the Aussie against the currencies of 21 nations that account for at least 90% of the country's commerce, rose 0.4 to 79.90 yesterday, the most since February 1985.
Samson's Strong Nations Currency Fund, which considers economic and financial positions, governance and law while making foreign-exchange investments, held 9.1% of its assets in the Australian dollar as of March 31, the largest share along with the Chilean peso among currencies outside of the U.S. dollar, according to its website.

Hi all, I agree with a focus on creating "problem-centric" task forces - to be honest, I always felt bioRDF to be a problem-centered group (i.e. trying to solve a current problem in life sciences, not looking for a problem given a solution). I do believe, however, that we need to make sure that we are all in the same page regarding goals. I propose that, for the next charter we agree on a Mission Statement devised and agreed upon by the key players in each task force. This will give us 1) focus; 2) requirements and 3) adequability of the task forces Cheers, Lena On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 3:33 PM, Joanne Luciano <email@example.com> wrote: > Tim, > > Thanks for your thoughts.

Although the thermometer registered record heat in Evansville on Oct. 6th, WABASH DAY was a cool success for the 18 men who gathered to help "Holly's House".
If there is one job that comes easy to a Wabash man, it's cleaning up a big mess, and that was our assignment on Saturday.
"Holly's House" is a non-profit organization that will provide a single location for the Domestic and Sexual Violence and Child Abuse Departments of the Evansville Police Department in a home like setting instead of a police station interview room. The county donated a building for their use, but the interior was a total mess due to the deconstruction that was necessary prior to remodeling. There were piles of gravel and broken concrete, old cast iron pipe, trash and lots of dirt that had to be removed in order for the craftsman to begin the actual construction process.
Additionally the white stone façade had not been cleaned in 40 years . "Team pressure washing" may become a new televised event for ESPN based on the competition between 2 teams of guys trying to work from each end of the building to meet in the middle. Two more crews worked on the sides of the building at the same time, washing off grime and graffiti that marred the exterior. Some minor landscaping work as a final touch and our task was done.
We had a very successful day here in Evansville. One of our local TV stations covered the event for the evening news.
Participants: Ryan Rapp '98, Greg Charnes '00, Reece Collins '04, Eric Strehl '91, Paul Ferguson '77, Scott Uloth '88, Mathew Uloth (son), Conor O'Daniel '93, Jacob Schultheis '91, David Hayhurst '83, Jon Reitz '88, Anthony Inzerello '93, Paul Parkinson '89, Jay Kasey '79, Thom Liffick '73, Robert Webster '56, Brian Oberst '98, Chris Cooke '98
Special thanks to my wife, Barb, who for the 3rd year provided lunch for all our workers.
We had a great time and a great crew and look forward to next year!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – It was billed as a match-up of two of the best pitchers in the Big West. After all, both UC Davis' Dayne Quist and UC Santa Barbara's Andrew Vasquez were both named to the National Pitcher of the Year Watch List this past week.
Well, Vasquez did his part in maintaining his miniscule earned run average and the Gaucho offense made sure that Quist's numbers ballooned.
UCSB tagged Quist for six runs in the second inning and eight overall as the Gauchos cruised to an 8-2 victory in the opening game of a three-game series on Friday at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.
Quist, who entered the game 6-0 with a 1.94 ERA, was battered for 10 hits in his 5.1 innings and six of the eight runs he allowed were earned. His ERA jumped to 2.52.
Meanwhile Vasquez improved to 6-3 and lowered his ERA to 1.74 as he struck out eight and allowed just four hits and one run.
The Gauchos have now won four straight conference games and improved to 22-18 overall and 8-5 in the Big West. UCD falls to 15-22, 3-7.
Joey Wallace opened the game-changing second inning with a double, stole third and scored on Greg Mahle's single to tie the game at 1-1. Marc Venning followed with an infield single and Ryan Palermo chopped a double down the left field line to score Mahle. Venning came home when left fielder David Popkins bobbled the ball and UCSB led 3-1.
Joe Winterburn's sacrifice fly brought in another run and Brandon Trinkwon lined a two-run single to center field for a 6-1 lead and his team-high 27th RBI.
That was more than enough for Vasquez, who was only touched for Kevin Barker's solo home run in the second inning and after that did not allow a runner past second base.
UCSB added a run in the fourth inning when Brett Vertigan was hit by a pitch, moved to second on Lance Roenicke's sac bunt, then stole third and scored on catcher Scott Kalush's throwing error.
Winterburn blasted his second home run of the season in the sixth inning, a no-doubter to left field that ended UCSB's scoring.
The two teams continue their series on Saturday at 1 p.m. Tickets are available by clicking here, or calling 893-UCSB. The game can be heard online by clicking here or on AM 1290 in Santa Barbara with the pregame show starting at 12:30 p.m.

The sarcophagus (literally flesh eater, so called because the lime in the marble dissolved the corpse over time) was an elaborate coffin. The tradition of stone sarcophagi can be traced to Egypt (a limestone one is exhibited in the Egyptian galleries); it enters the Greco-Roman world in the 4th c. BC.
Two themes predominate in the elaborate imagery. The seasons of the year, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and death, appear along the front. They bring foods appropriate to the time of year: from the left, Spring, on a feline, carries a cornucopia; Summer, with a basket of corn, rides a bull; Autumn, riding a feline, has a basket of grapes; and Winter, muffled against the cold and riding a boar, bears an olive spray. They are separated by putti holding garlands, which are themselves composed seasonally: spring flowers, summer corn, autumn fruit and nuts, winter olives. The putti in turn introduce a Dionysiac motif that is stressed on the lid: the playful Pans, herms and actors' masks in the corners are all associated with Dionysos, Greek god of wine and theater.
Besides this, two mythological scenes appear on the lid. Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome, are suckled by the wolf. This is complemented by the infant Telephus, founder of Pergamon (Asia Minor) who is cared for by a deer. The motif of exposing children at birth, common in classical mythology, finds another example in the story of Melanippe, represented on a large ceramic krater in this gallery. The griffins at the ends of the sarcophagus are mythical monsters that preside apotropaically as guardians over the deceased.

How to Succeed in Your Weight Loss Routine
Achieving your fitness and weight loss goals require a lot of hard work and dedication. Many of us experience difficulty trying to lose weight, while we notice others can't stop shedding those pounds. How do they do it? We like to think that they have those perfect genes that allow them to eat whatever they want and only exercise a little but still stay slim, or maybe they have found out some long lost secret to losing weight. Well, this may be true for a very small number of them. Most of them know there are certain habits that successful dieters have to follow and follow them to a tee. This means that in order to turn your weight loss nightmare into a success story, all you need to do is incorporate these habits into your daily routine.
Set small, attainable goals. Most of us focus on losing weight and unfortunately a lot of it. We set a goal to lose thirty pounds in a month. However, these bigger, more spread out goals that only focus on our weight may be doing more damage than good. You should try setting smaller goals over a shorter period of time. This should get you moving, especially when you begin to notice that you are accomplishing these goals throughout your fitness routine. You could set goals such as eating more vegetable, increasing your daily water intake, lifting a few more pounds or adding some extra distance to your run. The more attributes of your routine that you can focus on, the more you can celebrate. This should have you motivated and ready to rock your fitness routine in no time.
Allow yourself a few breaks. We all think that in order to achieve our weight loss goals, we have to stick to a strict schedule. We think we have to workout for hours on end to get the body we want. However, when you start out too hard on yourself, it is hard to slow down. You will only push yourself past your breaking point. By being too strict on yourself, you will only set yourself up for failure. Allow yourself some time to rest and relax from your fitness routine and give yourself enough rest days (2-3 a week) and you may be surprised at how much you can achieve.
All work and no play. Most of us believe that diet and exercise can't be fun. It is a chore to us that has to be done. This attitude can put you down the right path. You need to make your fitness routine fun, and it can easily be done. You can look for new and exciting recipes to learn. Your taste buds can have the chance to experience new flavors and tastes. Just because your food is not full of calories or fat, does not mean it has to be tasteless. So, dive into those cookbooks and find something new and interesting. As far as the physical part of your routine goes, you can seek out new things in that area too. You can look into taking different types of fitness classes. There are so many out there that appeal to different types of people. You could learn a martial art like kickboxing, karate or tae kwon do. You could take a dance class like jazz, ballroom or modern. You could take yoga, a spin class, aerobics, whatever keeps you interested and motivated.
It can be frustrating trying to lose weight and feeling as if you are going nowhere. You put in all this hard work, and it just does not seem to pay off. It may be time to switch up your routine or add something new and exciting. You could reach out to others for ideas or help. You may need to take a step back and reevaluate your routine or your goals, but the main thing is to never give up. If you keep trying, you are bound to come up with a routine that works for you.

Topic Page: Menéndez de Avilés, Pedro (1519 - 1574)
(pā'ðrō mānān'dĕth dā ävēlās'), 1519–74, Spanish naval officer and colonizer, founder of Saint Augustine, Fla. He went to sea as a youth and so distinguished himself that by the time he was 35 he held the captain generalcy of the Indies fleet, which convoyed treasure ships from the New World to Spain. In 1565, Philip II of Spain charged him with driving the French Huguenots from Fort Caroline and establishing a Spanish colony in Florida.
Menéndez's expedition of 11 ships and 500 colonists sailed from Spain and on Aug. 28 entered the harbor he named for St. Augustine. At the mouth of the St. Johns River on Sept. 4 he encountered a French fleet under Jean Ribaut, which he was unable to bring to combat. Menéndez then returned to St. Augustine, where he began to build a fort. Ribaut, hoping to take the Spanish by surprise, sailed to attack them, but his fleet was wrecked in a storm. With Fort Caroline virtually defenseless, Menéndez marched overland and on Sept. 21 killed most of the French there. Ribaut and his men, driven ashore S of St. Augustine, were captured as they tried to reach Fort Caroline by land, and all but a few were slain. The massacres, which aroused France, were later (1568) avenged by Dominique de Gourgues.
Part of his mission accomplished, Menéndez went to Cuba for supplies and then explored the Gulf Coast, where he made friendly contacts with the indigenous peoples. Before he returned to Spain (1567) there were Spanish posts in the Sea Islands (S.C.) and on Chesapeake Bay in addition to St. Augustine and San Mateo (Fort Caroline). Although he remained governor of Florida until his death, Menéndez returned only for a brief stay in 1571. The establishment of the Florida colony was due almost wholly to his energy and ability.

The President of the United States just got a scolding ... from the President of the United States -- after he botched a golf shot ... and TMZ has the footage.
The video was taken on August 17 when Barack Obama was playing a round at the Vineyard Golf Club on Martha's Vineyard.
After B.O. sliced his shot, you can hear him yell something that sounds like, "C'MON BARACK ... not THAT far left."
He immediately assumed his golfing position and tried to recreate his swing in what appears to be an effort to diagnose the problem.
The footage was shot a considerable distance away from Barack and his 4-some ... probably due to the scary guys with earpieces and guns.

I am new to this forum. I was raised Catholic and spent 9 years at a private school. That's the easiest way to get the christian notion of God beat right out of you. But I was wondering what most Atheists believe is how the universe works. I recently read an interesting book I found on Barnes and Nobles site, called God I Am. The subject of this book is the notion that what should be considered God, or not God for that matter is our own consciousness. I wonder what most Atheists believe happens to our molecular matter, and our consciousness after death. Has anybody read this book? What are your feelings about the end result of our individual consciousness. Does it just stop, or could it become part of something else.

People are often looking for a way to continue at least a faint belief in God—pantheism or our own consciousness, etc. None of these has ever made sense to me, but they allow some to think they are not really atheists and that comforts them.
As for what happens to consciousness after death, I think it is pretty clear it simply ceases to exist as it does when you have a general anesthetic. You return to a state like that before birth—simple nothingness. Oblivion is our ultimate fate and the consolation is that it cannot be painful.
Bill asks:
"I wonder what most Atheists believe happens to our molecular matter, and our consciousness after death."
Molecular matter is easy to study scientifically, and is aside from any theological considerations.
Consciousness, too, is easy to answer, and I concur with the good Dr. Clark.
Your consciousness after death is the same as it was before your birth.
Bill, don't be confused by those who attempt to confound the simplicity of atheism. It is easy to understand, but, for some, hard to accept.
I have not read this book so I'll attempt to show some respect for the author. Having said that, I'll approach your question with the same set of tools I used to establish my atheism. What do I know, how do I know it and why should I believe what anyone else has to say about this subject?
Having evolved towards materialism I believe the mind to be the result of electrochemical reactions within the brain. At death, the machine ceases to function and the life of the mind ends. As much as we might want it to be otherwise, there is no magic involved and no independent mind, spirit or soul.
One life, one chance to experience existence. I can't prove there is no god but I am forced to live as if this were the case. I'll not be be guilted into being a Pascalian t(f)ool.
What happens to consciousness after death?
Consciousness is a product of the brain. The brain is a computer which supports consciousness as a function of its operating system, even as a PC supports Windows, except that there's no hard drive, no non-volatile storage. When you turn off a PC without saving what is in RAM memory, whatever was in RAM is GONE.
Memory storage in the brain, indeed, the entire functioning of the brain, is no different. The brain is a volatile storage and processing medium. Cut the power and ... that's all she wrote.
As far as I am concerned humans are just animals like elephants, rabbits, whales, etc., although a more higher evolved one, of course. What happens to elephants, rabbits, whales, etc., when they die? Do they go to some kind of elephant, rabbit or whale heaven? They cease to exist and become a part of the earth from whence they came. As an animal with mostly the same genes, we do, too. When I was a child, I said if my dog could not go to heaven, I didn't want to go either. Religious people set man up as a special chosen animal. If you believe in evolution, there is no way this can be. I think this is why so many deny evolution just as they deny death.
Life emanates from the earth and to the earth we return on death.
Conciousness ceases on death.
The reviews indicate the book is a dreamy astrological writing. I will not read it.
Nap, the King James Version is the dreamy writing. It reads like poetry and is difficult to understand. Now modern versions interpret it anyway they please to their advantage. However, when I was thirty and still pretending to be a believer, I decided I needed to read the bible all of the way through. "Good News for Modern Man" had just been published so I thought that would be easier to understand. It was very simply written, too simply. It was hilarious and absolutely ridiculous. I don't know if any are still around, but if you ever have a weak moment and want to read it, this is the one to select.
As I see it our molecules get recylced and there is no consciousness after death.
Thank you for all the comments. I cannot at this point say that I am an Atheist. I am searching for some kind of solid ground. In reading the book I mentioned I thought that maybe there was some leeway in what Atheists believed is after death. For me its kinds like saying evolution does not negate the existence of God. Consciousness surviving and somehow contributing to the universe, does not indicate that there is a God. Only that an energy can move on in some form. Or is an energy surviving after death mean there then is in fact a God??????
Recently I suffered a personal tragedy that changed my life. The pain I suffer daily is overwhelming. Sometimes I think I need to just end it to stop the constant pain. I can't because I am afraid of what death might bring. I want to just vanish. But what if there is something after. What if it is worst?
Sorry to hear you have been through something so terrible it makes you feel this way. Many of us have been there as well in the past and feel genuine sympathy for anyone suffering as much as you. It may not help much, but in my experience of 77 years, I have found that if you can hold on, things may get better. If you can find help, that would be a good thing too. The important thing is to know that you are not alone.
This puts your question in an entirely different light and though it doesn't change anything I wrote, at this point any belief that helps you to hang on should be embraced. Getting through this is your first task, sorting things out is for down the line a bit.
Take care and let us know how you are doing.
You are not alone, as nearly all of us have had some sort of staggering personal adversity . . . . or will have.
When considering an alternative to living in the face of your tragedy, what comes after life should not be a consideration.
What you should focus upon is life itself, its potential, and all the wonderful things that will happen for you.
As the Buddha said: "This, too, shall pass".
Keep in mind that here at Atheist/Nexus you will find some of the most compassionate people you will encounter over the course of your entire lifetime.
I've found that atheists love more intensely, empathize more easily, and are more generous with their efforts to elevate all our lives to that level of happiness achievable simply because we are human beings.
Search on, Bill. It's a great adventure.
Beautifully written, Asa.
