Hello all,
As you know there are some people who post here with very serious problems and are seeking very serious Biblical solutions. Even the people who post here with not-so-life-threatening issues want some genuine Godly guidance in these issues that are serious to them.
Therefore, we should pray before we post here.
Also, any counsel given should line up with what the Bible teaches. Counsel can come from scripture or even be secular. There are some very valid secular helps that line up with what the Bible teaches.
The point is - all counsel should be in harmony with what God teaches beit from His Word, from your own experience, or from a competent secular source.
What cannot be accepted here, at a Christian site, is the following type of counsel:
- counsel from the occult - witchcraft, mediums, ...etc.
- counsel from mythology or folklore
- counsel that is intentionally accusatory, judgmental, hurtful, or flippant (I'm not talking about having to point out the obvious to someone even if it hurts - that can be done in love. I'm talking about a non-loving response.)
- secular counsel that is in opposition to the Word of God
These posts will have to be deleted.
We may not all agree on how a person should be counseled, but we can all agree that whatever counsel given must line up with scripture.

Devs Wanna Explain Test->Live Transfers on the EverQuest II Forums is a post
pointing the way to
this forum post and this
forum post that allege that an entire guild has been transferred from a test
server, where gaining levels and items is easier, to a live EverQuest II server
in a move SOE has stated was not allowable to avoid harming game balance. The
posts not only allege that a game master was involved in the account transfers,
but that a GM had previously been a member of that guild and helped it gain loot
along the way. Opinions expressed in the forums range from outrage from those
who feel cheated to understanding from those who feel this guild is simply being
rewarded for being particularly helpful in testing things. SOE has yet to be
heard from on this topic.

A $17,000 Linux-Powered, Auto-Aiming Hunting Rifle
This is a .338 Lapua Magnum rifle outfitted with a Linux-powered TrackingPoint XS1 system, an advanced computerized scope that takes all the guesswork out of shooting animals in the woods. Sport, LOL. Why not just send an unmanned drone to go kill all the deer for you?
The image displayed on the scope isn't a direct visual, but rather a video image taken through the scope's objective lens. The Linux-powered scope produces a display that looks something like the heads-up display you'd see sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet, showing the weapon's compass orientation, cant, and incline. To shoot at something, you first "mark" it using a button near the trigger. Marking a target illuminates it with the tracking scope's built-in laser, and the target gains a pip in the scope's display. When a target is marked, the tracking scope takes into account the range of the target, the ambient temperature and humidity, the age of the barrel, and a whole boatload of other parameters. It quickly reorients the display so the crosshairs in the center accurately show where the round will go.
That's pretty crazy. I remember back in the day when you had to tear off a couple blades of grass and give them a toss to judge wind direction. Now? Now the gun does all the work for you. Did I mention the system also has an iPad app so you can have a friend act as spotter? A friend, standing in the woods, with an iPad. Now just stop for a second and think about you're doing. Then admit failure as an outdoorsman and go to the bar to play Big Buck Hunter.
Hit the jump for several more shots, including a closeup of the display.
Thanks to bjorntobywylde, who heard David's takedown of Goliath was actually an inside job and there was another shooter. THE PLOT THICKENS.

I'm not gonna lie bro, you wouldn't stand a chance at 'The Most Dangerous Game'. Some dipshit moron shot a fox and, having not killed it because he sucks at aiming, decided to try beating it to death with the butt of his rifle. Only thing was, the sly fox wasn't having it. T... / Continue →

If the widely publicized illegal immigrant demonstrations on Monday showed anything, it showed two very important facts: One, this country doesn't have the stomach to address the illegal immigration issue the way it should, and, two, there must be a whole lot more illegal immigrants driving on our freeways than I thought because the trip to and from work was a piece of cake.
If we can't count on the government coming to terms with building the fence, enforcing existing immigration laws or hammering scofflaw employers who hire illegals, can we at least hope for more large demonstrations so we can all drive to work at the posted speed limit like the good old days?

Hey guys, love the show! This might be an intresting mod for you; http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4y7GNezfepc Just aired today.
Absolutely sick. I'm a console gamer but modding is always a blast, used to do it on my old PC for the command & conquer games, ace times.
Good stuff on the Master Chief armor, quality stuff!
Your heart puns are weak. Your voice overs made you sound like silly ventricleoquists, but the attempts were not in vein and you didn't skip a beat when you pumped out a bad one. (kids, don't try these puns at home)
Explosive chickens are second only to fast travel as a means of transportation in Skyrim.
This is just a ridiculous abomination. Why on earth is this even getting Gamespot prime attention?
@Chernnunos The views, vast majority of positive comments and >98% likes should be part of your answer. Also It's about having fun with a game which still commands Millions of fans. Why is that an abomination?
@cameronrobinson @Chernnunos Well, frankly, the old 5 Skyrim Mods Of The Week were alot better. for one because of the hosts, and second because it showed better mods, and I hope im not offending you, but you seem to get excited about stuff that arent even that special, like saying "amazing" at stuff that arent that different from the original, an example would be the Gravity Hammer which was a normal hammer with bad sound timing that just knocked enemies down instead of sending them flying like a gravity hammer should.
Again, this is just what I think, and maybe other people like your 5 Skyrim Mods Of The Week better, im still gonna watch the weekly show, maybe sometime you'll put mods on the show that'll be worth a try.
@nathangray @Mighty_Ori Thanks very much for your point of view. I'll admit we tend to be a bit sillier with the show than Sean and John ,who were excellent, but its for a few reasons. Firstly, its our natural style when Seb and I present, and secondly the number and breadth of mods isn't quite the same as it was a year ago. There are still a bunch of great mods available don't get me wrong, but the choice isn't quite a broad as it once was. As a result I think the focus needs to shift a bit from 'mods that will make Skyrim better', to 'mods that make Skyrim fun'.That said I very much appreciate your comments and I'll try to get a couple of more sensible, practical mods for this week.
@Mighty_Ori I don't agree, I think these are pretty awesome mods and I'm glad to have learned about them. Not everything has to remake the game in order to be worth using, and some of these mods may not get the attention they deserve without writers like the above and elsewhere pointing others in the right direction.
man have i been missing out...its crazy you now can combine different mods and have them run at the same time? I never knew you were able to do that in any game...game looks insanely fun..anyway if anyone can clear this up for me that be great....mmmmmmmmkkkkkayyyy. :)
The gravity hammer is particularly awesome because you can learn the effects in your enchantments. I currently have a bow that does gravity damage. The stopping power is god tier.
this is the best skyrim mod ep ever!!!! nothing can beat this. and these r probably the best mosds in the game
IT is a great game. I understand that after the main missions and side questing for a long time, the game does get kinda boring.
But that is the point of these mods. To not only add awesome or crazy new features into the game, but also to add replayability.
But I am not sure why I am even bothering to reply to someone that says "Bad Game" without even giving any kind of information to support it. Maybe if you could enlighten us as to what makes it a bad game for you, we could actually have a discussion.
I realize this is a late reply but..
Bad AI. Horrendous combat. Cliche story. That's enough. Go play dark souls.
Skyrim's actually not that bad of a game, but it's not so good that almost two years later people still have sections of the site devoted to it. It was impressive in scale, not depth.
No! No it's not.
Just because a game has run its course, it is still great! And it will go down as a classic.
@Devils-DIVISION @Shane747
No it was a huge dissapointment. First time round I actually sent it back before finishing because after scaling the map through questing it became such a boring game. The AI is dated and so unrealistic.
@LukeWesty how would you know how a dragon behaves? or how elves and orcs or all other manner of non-existing creatures for that matter act or fight as is your beef.
With an average meta score of 90, it is objectively an awesome game, and not a disappointment. YOUR issues with the game are only subjective, it really has no nothing persuading in it, unfortunately for you.
I don't agree. Skryim is great and I don't see dated AI at all.
@Ospon You mean all the heart surgery I performed in that episode? Yeah, I'm totally qualified to do that in my spare time!
It's not a new thing, a Master Chief armor mod existed already in Oblivion long before this came out.
@TransvormerSCol It's an Elder Scrolls modding trope. Morrowind has MULTIPLE Master Chief armor mods as well.

So Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in a "lockdown" rehab facility and she's begging the court in LA to let her do that rehab stint in New York City. NOW we know why! "Lockdown Rehab" doesn't exist in New York ... and it's possible Lindsay could now go to JAIL as a result.
TMZ.com did done some digging, contacting numerous rehab facilities in NY, and they were told from EVERYONE -- rehab facilities do NOT force patients to stay. In fact, an official from the New York State agency that regulates rehab facilities tells us lockdown rehab does not exist in NY.
None of the facilities have guards that block access out.
As for Lindsay ... she has a history of leaving rehab, even if the program requires her to stay inside. Two cases in point -- sources say Lindsay frequently snuck out of Cirque Lodge in Utah. And, of course, there's Betty Ford, where Lindsay allegedly got into a physical fight with an attendant who was about to blow the whistle on her for sneaking out.
Law enforcement sources connected with Lindsay's lying-to-cops case tell TMZ ... prosecutors offered the plea deal based on the representation of Lindsay's lawyer, Mark Heller, that New York had lockdown rehab facilities.
After we placed calls today ... we're told prosecutors are now checking to see if Heller's representation was false. One well-placed source said this: "The sentence was actually 90 days in custody, and lockdown rehab would satisfy that. If there's no such thing, then she'll go to jail for 90 days."

Seagate's latest GoFlex kit 'bolts into stores
Speed of Thunder
Posted in Hardware, 26th April 2012 10:12 GMT
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Seagate rolled out its latest batch of external hard drives this week alongside a new Thunderbolt adaptor, bringing the high-speed connectivity tech to its entire GoFlex range.
Four drives are available.
The GoFlex Pro for Mac [1] is the company's 500GB entry level model. Memory is doubled with the GoFlex Special Edition for Mac [2] and boosted to either 2TB or 3TB with the GoFlex Desk for Mac [3].
All three boast both USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 connectivity.
Those looking for something a little less weighty can opt for the GoFlex Slim for Mac [4], a 500GB drive with a "sleek, anodised design" that comes without the FireWire port.
Joining the lineup of HDDs comes the GoFlex Thunderbolt adaptor [5] as well, compatible with any of the company's GoFlex drives.
That makes it available for use with the high speed port on the modern Mac - and any Windows machine equipped with the Intel-developed tech too. And yes, despite only being available from Apple stores, the drives are very PC friendly, interchanging without the need for formatting.
The Seagate GoFlex for Mac collection starts at £100 for the Slim and ranges to £180 for the 3TB GoFlex Desk.
The Thunderbolt adaptor starts at £100, with a desktop drive version [6] available for £170. ®

Comments about Lee Sport Detroit Tigers Authentic Collection Featherweight Tech Fleece:
This shirt is really cool! The 3/4 sleeves are perfect and aren't too long or too short. The bottom of the shirt had a loose elastic bottom which I normally wouldn't like on a shirt but it's loose and at the sametime tight enough to wear at whatever length you like. The coolest thing is the hidden pocket on the side of shirt that you can't even tell is there, so if you wear athletic shorts with no pockets you could still stash money or whatever you want without making it look weird wearing. It has a cool look and defiantly one of my favorite Tigers shirts to wear. It says fleece shirt but its a loose cool shirt so you won't sweat real bad and have the shirt sticking to your skin. Defiantly would recomend it but hopefully none of my friends get it so I have the only one to show off. I wore it once and had multiple comments on how cool it looked, weird getting compliments from other guys about clothing. So obviously they wanted it themselves! Good price for a really great quality shirt that I know I will wear for years to come.

We stayed 6 nights at the guest house and had a nice time. The station was only 3 minutes to walk, from where we visited London and Brighton. The room was sufficiant, clean linen and towels, toilet and shower and TV. The owner is very cheerful, helpful and has a lovely garden. Definitely recommended.

From what I've heard from FFG, looks like this, Free Fall and Embers of Atlantis are releasing in August (Can anyone say "Gen Con?").
Page 1 of 1 (3 messages) | 1 |
Amazon website reports it will ship on the 23rd of August, he says, while passing grains of salt...
(Ozymandias on the old FFG forums)
(Scrat on BGG)
I just got this message from my Amazon Preorder:
"Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed
below has changed, and we need to provide you with a new delivery estimate based
on the new release date:
Graham McNeill "Ghouls of the Miskatonic: Book One of The Dark Waters Trilogy"
Estimated arrival date: October 14 2011 - October 18 2011
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay."
Well I wanted this for Halloween,it's just a year late
The way of iron and the ax,
this Dwarf's tale nears told.
Now extract their cruel tax,
the stone grows cold..cold...cold
So now FFG has another AH based Trilogy they project for this Fall.It would seem to me that they should put more effort getting the Dark Water books out before pushing out another Series.If they were stand alone books it would be tolerable but now we could have 2 books out at the same time that each cover only 1/3 of a series.(of course if the Lord of Nightmares takes a year to get out like the 1st Dark Water book it's rather moot).
I plan to get both series & like the idea of FFG doing Mythos/AH books but I hope they get their release schedules more in line so that we don't have several loose ends hanging around.Perhaps its just me but I like to get into my books & finish up one before I move on to another.

With the cost of putting a single new drug on the pharmacy shelves topping a staggering $1 billion, scientists are reporting development of a way to determine if an already-approved drug might be used to treat a different disease. The technique for repurposing existing medicines could cut drug development costs and make new medicine available to patients faster, they report in ACS' Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.
Sivanesan Dakshanamurthy and colleagues explain that drug companies must limit efforts to market new drugs because the current approach is so expensive, time-consuming and prone to failure. Scientists long have known that drugs already approved for one disease might be effective for others. However, existing methods to identify new uses for old drugs lack accuracy and have other disadvantages. So Dakshanamurthy's team developed a comprehensive new computer method called "Train-Match-Fit-Streamline" (TMFS) that uses 11 factors to quickly pair likely drugs and diseases.
They describe using TMFS to discover evidence that Celebrex, the popular prescription medicine for pain and inflammation, has a chemical signature and architecture suggesting that it may work against a difficult-to-treat form of cancer. Likewise, they found that a medicine for hookworm might be repurposed to cut off the blood supply that enables many forms of cancer to grow and spread. "We anticipate that expanding our TMFS method to the more than 27,000 clinically active agents available worldwide across all targets will be most useful in the repositioning of existing drugs for new therapeutic targets," they said.

SXU Film Series 2012-2013
Hollywood Paints
Famous Actors as Famous Painters
7:00 p.m.
McGuire Hall
Free Admission
The Agony and the Ecstacy (1965)
Charlton Heston as Michelangelo
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Directed by Carol Reed, "The Agony and the Ecstasy" tells the story of Michelangelo's (Charlton Heston) troubles while painting the Sistine Chapel at the urging of Pope Julius II (Rex Harrison). It was partly based on Irving Stone' biographical novel of the same name, and features a soundtrack co-written by prolific composers Alex North and Jerry Goldsmith.
Lust for Life (1956)
Kirk Douglas as Vincent van Gogh
Monday, November 12, 2012
Directed by Vincente Minnelli, "Lust for Life" is fictionalized biography of Vincent Van Gogh based on a popular novel by Irving Stone. The film centers on Van Gogh's (Kirk Douglas) stormy friendship with fellow artist Gauguin (Anthony Quinn). Minnelli's direction in filming on the actual Dutch and French locations where Van Gogh's mastery flourished as well as the use of an outmoded color film process which included innovative camera techniques to vividly recreate Van Gogh's paintings, provides its viewer with an understanding of the fine line in between the artist's lust for life and the lust that fed his madness.
Surviving Picasso (2006)
Anthony Hopkins as Pablo Picasso
Monday, December 3, 2012
Directed by James Ivory, "Surviving Picasso" is a drama that tells the story of Francoise Gilot(Natascha McElhone), the only lover of Pablo Picasso (Anthony Hopkins). The drama unfolds from her viewpoint of being Picasso's longtime mistress and mother of his children Claude and Paloma. Anthony Hopkins gives a full-throttle performance as the acclaimed artist who is the master of all canvas, color, metal, ceramics, and romance. The film draws from a vivid filmmaking palette to create an intimate, insightful tale of genius, beauty and obsession, in following Francoise Gilot(Natascha McElhone) on her journey in moving on with her life after withstanding Picasso's ferocious cruelty.
Frida (2002)
Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo
Monday, February 4, 2013
Directed by Julie Taymor, "Frida" explores the biography of the artist Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage to muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina) into her work. Taymor pulls out a wealth of gorgeous visuals to capture everything from the horrific bus accident that damaged Kahlo's spine to her and Rivera's trip to New York City, where Rivera's political leanings ruptured a commission from the Rockefeller family.
Pollock (2000)
Ed Harris as Jackson Pollock
Monday, March 4, 2013
Directed by and starring in "Pollock", Ed Harris paints an intriguing portrait of the groundbreaking artist, profiling Jackson Pollock's life, career and tragic death. In many respects the film proves to be a traditional biopic. Ed Harris' vision honors the artist's achievement in abstract expressionism while acknowledging that Pollock was a tormented, manic-depressive alcoholic. There's no doubt that Harris captured the essence of a man whose life was as torturous as his art was redeeming with this compassionate but unflinching exploration of Jackson Pollock's intimate world.
Basquiat (1996)
David Bowie as Andy Warhol
Jeffrey Wright as Jean Michel Basquiat
Monday, April 1, 2013
Directed by Julian Schnabel, "Basquiat" tells the story of the meteoric rise of youthful artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (Jeffrey Wright). The film depicts Basquiat's journey from squalor as an antisocial street bum writing graffiti on alley walls before becoming a star as part of Andy Warhol's (David Bowie) eccentric art scene. Soon, the talented tagger became a widely praised figure in the New York City art world. However, success has a high price, and Basquiat pays with friendship, love, and eventually, his life.

On October 2, 1964, Sarah and Nelson James' nanny dropped them off at Farmer John's Meat Packing Plant for a visit with their father, the plant's owner. When she returned to pick them up, the children had vanished. Less than a month later, their father's body was discovered in the plant's recesses, but mystery still surrounds the actual series of events that led to all three disappearances.
The Slaughterhouse invites guests to experience the eeriness that has plagued the plant ever since, all for the benefit of charitable causes. By hosting haunted houses and spooky events, The Slaughterhouse has raised more than $40,000 for organizations such as the American Diabetes Association. Visitors interested in befriending the venue's mischievous specters can embark on ghost tours, which explore the premise's haunted depths. Alternatively, on-the-go partiers can select from a rental fleet of trailers packed with haunted-house-style frights or sound-system-equipped hearses, ideal for proving coolness to judgmental teenage vampires.
Michael Huhn founded Desert Divers to share the love of diving he cultivated while swimming among the menagerie of colorful sea life in the warm, limpid waters of the Sea of Cortez. Over the past 30 years, he's recruited a staff of dedicated instructors that schools nascent underwater explorers in introductory lessons and intensive scuba-certification classes. The staff members equip students with most necessary gear for the classes, which cover maritime topics ranging from first aid and fish identification to deep diving and how to fashion sleeping octopuses into temporary helmets. Many classes require that participants first take an open-water scuba course, which bestows diving fundamentals and can eventually lead to certification. The center welcomes all past open-water students back for free refresher courses, helping former pupils sharpen their skills in advance of upcoming dives and snorkel-throwing tournaments. To further refine aquatic abilities, Desert Divers leads new graduates out on field trips to such dive-friendly locales as San Carlos, Mexico, and Key Largo, Florida.
Since he took his first flight more than 25 years ago, Arizona Balloon Safaris' CEO and FAA–certified pilot, Randy Long, has lifted more than 20,000 passengers into the sky—including celebrities such as Shakira. Though Mr. Long has flown hot air balloons across both states and parallel dimensions, he calls the Sonoran Desert his home base. As the sun paints an orange glow across the desert's rocky bluffs at dawn, Mr. Long and his passengers ascend up to 3,000 feet into the air. From here, the pilot points out the desert's plants and wildlife, such as coyotes, roadrunners, and jackrabbits. He ends each flight the same way; back on the ground, he pours his passengers some champagne, congratulates them on earning their wings, and starts thinking about the next day's adventure.
The FAA-certified commercial pilots at the helm of Southern AZ Balloons have glided groups across Tucson for more than two decades. During aerial adventures, the luxurious, wind-blown aircraft float as low as the treetops and as high as 3,000 feet. Varying heights present extravagant photographic opportunities, including of mountain ranges and of Catalina. Finally, after travelling anywhere from four to 15 miles, balloons coast to a landing for celebratory champagne brunches.
Grand Cinemas, originally opened in 1998, has two second-run theaters, Crossroads and Oracle View, in its movie-watching network. Films may be a few months old by the time they reach Grand Cinemas's 35-foot screens, but Dolby surround sound and a unique snack bar keep the experience from going stale. Their managing staff is always eager to accept suggestions for feature films both large and small, and their modest ticket prices and membership packages grant visitors a bigger budget for snacks, offering discounts of up to $2.50 on a single item and diamond-studded soda glasses. See independent films from Hollywood and Sundance at the Crossroads location at a discounted rate.
Grand Cinemas's rates fluctuate throughout the week.

Melanoma Odds Doubled for Transplant, Lymphoma Patients: Study
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Transplant recipients and patients with lymphoma have a significantly increased risk of developing and dying from melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, a new study indicates.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota found that melanoma is 2.5 times more likely to strike these patients than people in the general population. Melanoma is also more likely to be fatal in these patients, according to the study, published in the October issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
Patients with a form of lymphoma called chronic lymphocytic leukemia who develop melanoma are 2.8 times more likely to die from metastatic melanoma, in which the cancer spreads from the skin to other parts of the body.
Transplant recipients and lymphoma patients have weakened immune systems, which makes early detection of melanoma especially important, the researchers said. Early detection will improve their chances of survival.
"How you catch melanoma earlier is to be very aware of your skin," study co-author Dr. Jerry Brewer, a dermatologist, said in a Mayo news release. "These patients with immunosuppression should be looking themselves over head-to-toe once a month, they should be seeing a dermatologist once or twice a year, and if they have a lot of other risk factors, maybe more often than that."
Applying sunscreen once a day isn't enough, he added. For immunosuppressed patients, the risk of melanoma is so high that they should use sunscreen "almost as often as you brush your teeth," he said.
The first signs of melanoma are often a change in a mole's appearance or the development of a new pigmented or unusual looking growth, he explained.
Melanoma is on the rise in the United States and affects about one in 50 people in the general population.

The American Cancer Society has more about melanoma.

As graduation creeps closer and closer (provided I can actually pass my next Finance exam..), I'm feeling a renewed energy for life.
Some people tell me I'm going to miss school and the freedom that it brings, not knowing that I've worked full-time (almost) the whole way through my education, thereby eliminating any freedom that students who are only students might experience.
Having just a job - just a job and nothing else, no school, no group projects, no exams to study for, no 80 page case reports – now that's freedom.
A few months ago (in March), I wrote about all of the things that I want to do when I graduate. I want to revisit this.
Some of these things, I have already done, and I want to add to it in a big way.
This is like my "5 years post graduation bucket list". I really wanted to make this SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. Because I want to hold myself to doing these things. They are important to me and I think about them a lot, so here is my plan:
Become a staff writer – somewhere
I started staff writing for Prairie Eco Thrifter in May/June. It's been nice because PET has a wide variety of topics that I can write about; I'm not bound just to finance.
Pick up my first few freelancing projects
Not necessarily freelance writing, though I may look into that, but freelancing in my career is also a possibility, or even editing/proof reading/etc. Target date: January, 2013
Take up yoga
I actually have a month of yoga from Groupon close to home. I could probably start using it soon, but I've been lazy. Target Date: August 2012
Work out 5x/week again
I'm going to include yoga in this, because who has the time to do both yoga, and go to the gym, 5x/week? Target date: August 2012
Travel a little more
I'll have to break this goal down a little more:
-New York City. Target date: September 2012 (booked)
-Toronto. Target date: September 2012 (booked)
-Jamaica/Hawaii/Other tropical paradise. Target date: January/February 2013
-Europe. Target date: Summer 2013
Write an ebook
To be honest, I don't know if this is something I want to do anymore. I'm not going to write a target date, because I need to ponder this.
Go snowboarding
I used to snowboard all of the time. I grew up in a small town in which there was really nothing to do in the winter except ski and snowboard, so me and my friends would be at the local hill probably 1-2 times per week. That said, I never got good at it. That's okay, though, my boyfriend loves to snowboard so I will go with him in the winter. Target date: December 2012
Go to Oregon for the weekend
We did this in May.
Take a cooking class
Oh, man. This will have to be in the new year. With September being absolutely crazy (wedding, NYC, CPFC12, job change), I'll be picking up the pieces in October. Target date: March, 2013
Take a language class (French)
Once again, this will have to be in the new year. I'd like to do this by the time 2013 is over. I know basic french but would love to learn more. It's a beautiful language. Target date: July 2013
Try a new recipe every week
I'll admit that I've been lazy with cooking recently. It's been so hot and our apartment gets stifling. Plus, the kitchen sucks to cook in. Plus, I have been looking for simple meal solutions being that I have so much going on right now. So, I'm aiming for a Target date: October 2012
Go hiking more often
This isn't a specific goal at all. What does "more often" mean? When do I start? I like hiking but my boyfriend hates it and most of my friends live 40 minutes away so it's not simple to just saddle up and go hiking with them. I'll just have to make some new friends in the neighborhood I'm not going to make a new target date because this is my least favorite goal and want to finish everything else before I consider it.
Learn to sew
Oh, man. I so want to learn to sew. My friend is good at it, and I want her to teach me, but we never coordinate it. I want to make throw pillows for our new couch! Target date: July 2013
Learn more about blogging
This is an ongoing goal, so while I have crossed it out that doesn't mean that I don't learn at every turn. I do. But informal learning about blogging seems to be what really works for me, so making a target date seems a little silly.
Create a few extra pages on my blog
This is coming. I have a master plan. Target date: August, 2012
Become a Big Sister (with Big Brothers/Big Sisters)
Having a solid female role model is key to the development of little girls into women. I've always wanted to become a Big Sister, because it's such a great local cause. I need to be committed to 1 year at least, and a total of about 4 hours a week, which, until I finish my designation, I don't know that I can do. So, my target date for singing up will have to be the end of 2013. Target date: November, 2013
Join Toastmasters
I've always wanted to learn to be more of a concise, clear speaker. I enjoy public speaking and think the fact that I like it really sets me apart from many others, and this can look great on a resume. Toastmasters stops for the summer and resumes in September, but like I mentioned, with September being my busiest month of the year, I'm aiming for January or February for joining. Target date: January/February 2013
Get my designation
My professional designation test is in October. That's just part one, and then I have to do part 2 in April, I believe. So, my Target date: October, 2012
Take a scuba diving course (Open Water Diver)
In 2010, the boy and I took a beginners diving lesson in a pool and we had a lot of fun. The BC coast is amazing, and there is so much to see under water. We have the giant pacific octopus, sharks, dolphins, whales, and of course starfish, crabs, etc that would be so much fun to see while diving. We want to get certified. Target date: September, 2013
Learn more about bikes/get a bike/start cycling
The area that I live in right now has a ton of parks and cycling trails. The boy wants to get a bike soon but we really know nothing about them. WE need to learn. Target date: July 2012
This is a lot to do in a matter of a year and a half, but since they are all enjoyable activities I'm sure I'll have fun doing them!

I suppose that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but for me the Eclipse Red Ring is one of, if not THE finest razor ever produced:
Epitome of Art Deco Styling
Hard-wearing Chrome Plating, not Nickel (pretty unique for a 1930s razor)
Magnetic Pick-up in the end of the handle (I find it useful even now)

For me it's patriotism, uniqueness, and shininess!
Bruce seems to be wrong about the clicking adjuster - unless there was a deluxe model?At the time that the Red Ring was designed Britain was still the world's superpower with the biggest empire ever seen and a technology base to match...
The head design is like no other before or since. On the bottom plate there are teeth but these have a solid guard bar before and below them, the top plate has matching grooves...
The adjustment mechanism was a quarter of a century ahead of the Gillette Fat Boy...
It was chrome plated, which was very rare in that era
Fantastic set! I don't think I've ever seen a new old stock Eclipse before. Very nice.

Loading... Bleachers (2003)by John Grisham
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Passend zum Start der Footballsaison ein kleines Buch von John Grisham zum Thema Highschool Football http://www.weberseite.at/sport/bleachers-john-grisham/ Bleachers By John Grisham Sometimes a sports team is the back bone and life blood of a whole town. In this book a infamous coach is dieing. His death has brought everyone back to their hometown to honor him. In the process they lay to rest more then just a great man. They learn to accept the power of a man to motivate a group of people throughout their entire lives not just when they are on the field. This book makes you realize that it is more than a sport it is a state of mind. I would recommend this book to anyone who has had a mentor not just those who like football. Passend zum Start der Footballsaison ein kleines Buch von John Grisham zum Thema Highschool Football http://www.weberseite.at/sport/bleachers-john-grisham/ So I didn't actually read the book, but I did listen to it on tape and I did like it. The book told of a man coming back to his hometown because high school's head football coach of like 30 years was dying. While the whole town is waiting for this legend of a man to pass away, the main character talks to old teammates and relives some of the good and bad memories. I liked the book in general, I just didn't like the fact that the town because of its view on football and how everything else got pushed to the back burner. I would have hated to go to that school as an athlete other than football. He never disappoints!
Mr. Grisham's stories -- even the short, anomalous ones like his last small book, ''Skipping Christmas'' -- generally have more storytelling force than ''Bleachers'' does. His purpose this time seems more reflective than showy, and his love for this sports-related subject matter is palpably real.
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (2)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385340877, Paperback)With Bleachers John Grisham departs again from the legal thriller to experiment with a character-driven tale of reunion, broken high school dreams, and missed chances. While the book falls short of the compelling storytelling that has made Grisham a bestselling author, it is nonetheless a diverting novella that succeeds as light fiction.The story centers on the impending death of the Messina Spartans' football coach Eddie Rake. One of the most victorious coaches in high school football history, Rake is a man both loved and feared by his players and by a town that relishes his 13 state titles. The hero of the novel is Neely Crenshaw, a former Rake All-American whose NFL prospects ended abruptly after a cheap shot to the knees. Neely has returned home for the first time in years to join a nightly vigil for Rake at the Messina stadium. Having wandered through life with little focus since his college days, he struggles to reconcile his conflicted feelings towards his former coach, and he assays to rekindle love in the ex-girlfriend he abandoned long ago. For Messina and for Neely, the homecoming offers the prospect of building a life after Rake. Physically a narrow book, Bleachers is a modest fiction in many respects. The emotional scope is akin to that of a short story, with a single-minded focus on explorations of nostalgia and regret. The dialogue, especially that of Neely's friend Paul Curry, is sometimes wooden as characters recall Messina history in paragraphs that were perhaps better left to the narrator. But Grisham has otherwise written a well-made, entertaining--if a bit sentimental--story. --Patrick O'Kelley (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:53:04 -0500) "High school all-American Neely Crenshaw was probably the best quarterback ever to play for the legendary Messina Spartans. Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddie Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty." "Now as Coach Rake's "boys" sit in the bleachers waiting for the dimming field lights to signal his passing, they replay the old games, relive the old glories, and try to decide once and for all whether they love Eddie Rake - or hate him. For Neely Crenshaw, a man who must finally forgive his coach - and himself - before he can get on with his life, the stakes are especially high."--BOOK JACKET.… (more) |

The source code for MB-System is available as a compressed tar archive by anonymous ftp to the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. This archive file is about 3 megabytes in size and, depending on the speed of your internet connection, may take a few minutes to transfer.
Click here to ftp the current MB-System release as a compressed tar archive.
Click here to get point-and-click ftp access to all of the MB-System related files available from Lamont (these may include data examples and beta distributions of MB-System ).
If access through the above links fails, try running ftp from a terminal shell. The following commands represent a typical anonymous ftp session (note that email@example.com literally means to enter your email address, and that many modern ftp clients do not require the "binary" command).
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography's Shipboard Technical Support group maintains a repository of open source software RPM distributions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS Linux. This repository includes both source and binary distributions of MB-System, GMT, and netCDF that can be accessed using the yum utility. The MB-System RPMs require the GMT and netCDF RPMs, but have no other external dependencies. This repository can be found at:
MB-System is included in Poseidon Linux, the "Scientific GNU/Linux". Poseidon is an Ubuntu Linux based distribution including a selection of open source software packages intended to support scientific research. In particular, it offers several specific tools in the areas of GIS, 3D Visualization, Mathematics, Statistics and several other fields of research.
MB-System has been packaged for MacOS X as part of the Fink Project. The MB-System fink package is maintained by Kurt Schwehr of CCOM/JHC UNH.
MB-System requires a number of other software packages and databases to be fully functional. These are:
MB-System produces Postscript based graphics. Most current Unix operating systems provide a program which serves as a screen-based Postscript viewer. If you do not have a Postscript viewer, one option is to obtain one of several Ghostscript-based packages from the Free Software Foundation.
Users of MacOs X should note that many of the above packages can be painlessly installed using the fink package available from the Fink Project.
The MB-System source code is extracted by first uncompressing the tar file and then running tar:
% tar xvzf MB-System.tar.gz
This will create a directory called (for the 5.3.1955 distribution):
In order to configure your installation, you must edit the perl script mbsystem-5.1.3/install_makefiles, and set a number of parameters to reflect the system architecture, the location of the installation, and the locations of certain required libraries. This script will read template makefiles in the MB-System source directories and create makefiles with the correct dependencies, compile flags, and link flags. The important parameters to be set in install_makefiles are listed below. The install_makefiles script includes comments suggesting parameters to use for many common computer systems.
These parameters must be set for all installations:
These two parameters are required to build the graphical tools mbedit, mbnavedit, mbvelocitytool, mbnavadjust, mbgrdviz, and mbeditviz. If these parameters are not both set, no graphical tools will be built.
This parameter must be set to build the openGL tools mbgrdviz and mbeditviz:
This parameter must be set to build the sonogram calculation program mbsegypsd:
This parameter must be set for the tidal modeling program mbotps to work:
This optional parameter can be used to specify a non-default C compiler:
These optional parameters can be used to specify linking with an independent installation of the PROJ4 library. In this case, the PROJ4 library included with MB-System will not be built.
These optional parameters can be used to specify linking with an independent installation of the GSF library. In this case, the GSF library included with MB-System will not be built.
To execute install_makefiles, do the following:
% cd mbsystem-5.3.1955
% install_makefiles
Because install_makefiles is a perl script, the executable perl must be available in the installer's path. Once install_makefiles has been correctly configured and run, give the command "make all" to generate the executable programs:
% make all
The make command will descend recursively down through the directory structure, compiling source files, linking object files, and copying executables and manual pages to the appropriate directories. The executables will be placed in mbsystem-5.1.3/bin, the libraries in mbsystem-5.1.3/lib, and the manual pages in mbsystem-5.1.3/man/man1.
Naturally, in order for users to use the MB-System utilities, the directory containing the executables must be included in their path. Altering the user path variable is generally accomplished by editing the initialization files hidden in the user's home directory. Which files need to be edited depends on which command line shell is being used. If the user works with csh, then the .cshrc and .login files need to be changed. If the shell is bash, then the .bashrc and .profile files must be altered. See the manual pages for the relevant shell program to determine how to set the user environment. The executable perl must also be available in the user's path for most of the macros to work.
Most users will also wish to specify which program they generally use to view Postscript plots on their screen. This parameter is set with the mbdefaults program (see the mbdefaults manual page for details). Popular open source options for Postscript display include ghostview and gv. The postscript plots can also be imported into proprietary tools like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, or Preview on MacOs X. On old Unix machines, pageview worked well on Sun workstations running Solaris, and xpsview on on Silicon Graphics machines running Irix.

The Anti-Bullying Policy
Clarify what exactly is now unacceptable.
Draw the "line in the sand."
Show that you mean to stop bullying.
The On-Site Service
Creating the Policy and Enforcement Procedures
An explicit behavioral standard is the cornerstone of an impersonal, systemic solution to workplace bullying. Policies aren't created in response to one person's outrageous conduct. (Though it is often the impetus for doing it.) Policies will apply to all employees at all levels of the organization, not just to offensive individuals.
The policy is the first step in the prevention of bullying. Policy creation is an early indispensable component of The Work Doctor Blueprint system.
Dr. Gary Namie, facilitates your designated Policy Writing Group through a 2-day proprietary process to create the policy with formal and informal enforcement procedures. Our unique, in-depth expertise anticipates pitfalls for traditional interventions. We create innovative investigatory processes and remedies. This results in 4 deliverables: policy, informal solutions, formal complaint procedures, and education rollout plan.
Without collaborative design by a Policy Writing Group, there can be no exploration of the employer's values and historical and future expectations regarding abusive conduct at work. No boilerplate works. Policies are not one-size-fits-all. No tearsheet policy from a book will do. Only those who work at your organization understand the idiosyncrasies of their unique workplace culture. The Group is also expert at anticipating implementation hurdles, something else you can't get from a book.
Remote Off-Site Services
Creating a Policy
We will create your workplace bullying policy with you!
Beforehand, we provide the team leader with instructions for using our proprietary questions that guide the group through a 1 day-long creative meeting. Our process results in a policy specific to your organization with all of the accompanying ethical and logistical questions answered. After the preliminary group meeting is finished, the group calls into our office and Dr. Gary Namie facilitates the finalization of the policy, formal complaint response system and the informal resolution procedures with the group.
The fee includes up to three (3) hours facilitation (by speakerphone or Skype) for your assembled policy writing group by Dr. Namie.
Fee: $3,500 (USD) for one day of policy creation and up to 3 hours of additional group facilitation
Policy Evaluation
You create your own anti-bullying policy. We'll review it. We are happy to lend our expertise by reviewing your existing or newly proposed policies. We will provide feedback and and suggest modifications for improvement.
Fee: $1,500 for policy review and up to two (2) hours of feedback by telephone (in 1-2 sessions).

SEGA has flattened hopes of seeing a new Sega Rally title in the near future, confirming the developer currently has no plans for a fresh entry in the venerable racing series.
Speaking ahead of the release of Sega Rally Online for Xbox 360 this week, the company's Mike Hayes didn't rule out the possibility of seeing a new game, but made it clear that nothing is the pipeline at present.
"Have we got any plans for Sega Rally on any platform at the moment? The answer is no," Hayes told Eurogamer.
"But we constantly review those IPs to see if we can reinvent them. A lot of it is dependent on what those platforms can do. And of course the cost of development."
The most recent entry in the series hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2007, with developer Racing Studio being quickly snapped up by publisher Codemasters shortly after the game's release.
A PS3 version of Sega Rally Online is also planned for release, though Sega has yet to pin a date on the racer in light of the recent PSN downtime. Expect to hear more info as soon as the PlayStation Store is back online.

Bitchtapes: Sibling Solidarity Mix
My sisters and I grew up listening to tons of great music together (Hannah is already on her way to being a famous guitarist and singer at 17!). So it was an obvious choice for us to get together and do a Bitchtapes when our sister, Jesse, came to visit us from Austin. What better topic than songs about sisters, brothers, and sibling relations?
1. St. Vincent – Laughing With a Mouth Full of Blood. This song brings about the emotions you feel when you've had it with all your friends and you've got to call your sister. Plus, we three siblings are seeing St. Vincent tonight in Portland!
2. Juliana Hatfield – My Sister. Let's be honest here.
3. Green – My Sister Jane. A tribute to a bad-ass older sister.
4. Jonanna Newsom – Emily. Apparently, this is what it's like having an astrophysicist for your sis.
5. Jawbreaker – Sister. At least we're all together now.
6. Sexy Kids – Sisters are Forever. It's true, it's not like you can get rid of them...
7. Hot Chip – Brothers. We feel this way too…but only sometimes.
8. Sister Sledge – We Are Family. Get your siblings and sing!
9. 10,000 Maniacs – My Sister Rose. Lovely, if cheesy.
10. R.E.M. – Seven Chinese Brothers. If only all brothers had magic powers!
11. Murder by Death – Brother. "I know there's better brothers, but you're the only one that's mine."
12. Antony and the Johnsons – You Are My Sister. All brothers should be so sweet.

Design Inspiration
How to Mix Old and New Decor
Kristin Hohenadel
2012-10-22 13:44:47
. . .
(Photo: Lonny)
One of the most stubborn misconceptions about interior design is that a room has to choose sides -- contemporary or antique, vintage or modern. The most livable rooms can't be pinned to a decade or design period. Instead, they skillfully mix old and new pieces to create the impression of having been collected over time, a secret to ensuring that a room won't look dated in a year -- or 10. Here are some simple strategies to help you get started.
Stick to a Neutral Color Scheme
Using a neutral palette as an organizing principle will help meld styles and eras. Choosing shades of white, black, gray, cream, beige, or brown will ensure that antiques and flea market finds will mesh with IKEA staples and transitional pieces, creating texture and subtle contrasts but adding up to a harmonious whole.
Consider Your Home's Architecture
If your space has obvious period style -- be it Colonial, Victorian, or Craftsman bungalow -- choose a few key pieces from the era as a nod to the home's provenance, then add contemporary lighting, rugs, or accessories to bring it into the here and now.
In a pre-war apartment in Manhattan with original casement windows and oak floors, hang vintage sconces, then add a streamlined mid-century sofa and a boldly patterned contemporary rug to keep the space looking fresh.
In a newly built condo with floor to ceiling windows, use antique frames on your favorite photographs, or artwork, or hang a Victorian crystal chandelier to create a sense of history and warmth.
Build character in a room without architectural interest using a vibrant mix of vintage and contemporary furniture and accessories.
Opposites Attract
A simple way to make a successful marriage of old and new is to keep the idea of contrast in the forefront of your mind.
Found a rustic 19th century wooden farm table on eBay? Pair it with some iconic 20th century Panton dining chairs. Picked up a classic French bergère armchair on Craigslist? Upholster it in a modern fabric, or pair it with a lucite console and an industrial task light for a stylish desk. Got a thing for Mid-Century Modern? Keep it from looking too much like a Mad Men set by decorating the walls with 21st century photography and a gilded antique mirror.
Another way to mix old and new is to pair contemporary and vintage pieces in a similar style. A 1960s Venetian etched glass mirror will find a natural place next to ultra-contemporary lighting like the Bourgie lamp by Kartell, a plastic reinterpretation of an Italian baroque lamp. A polycarbonate Philippe Starck Ghost chair, modeled after a Louis XV armchair, will enliven and complement an antique French writing desk. Combine bentwood chairs from various eras around a sleek modern dining table to keep it from looking like a conference table.
