Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will open at The San Diego Natural History Museum (theNAT) this February, corresponding with the 100th anniversary of the Ship's sinking.
"The Exhibition galleries bring to life the drama of that terrible night a century ago and the challenge and adventure of finding and exploring the wreck many years later," said Michael W. Hager, president and CEO of theNAT. "The ability to view 200 artifacts recovered from the ship's wreck site create a physical connection that spans 100 years."
Delicate vials of perfume, china bearing the logo of the White Star Line, and many other objects recovered from the debris field of the wreck site offer poignant connections to the lives abruptly ended or forever changed by one of the world's greatest maritime tragedies. Of the 200 artifacts showcased in the exhibition, 175 have never before been seen on the West Coast. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is organized by Premier Exhibitions, Inc, and RMS Titanic, Inc. which is the sole salvor-in-possession to the wreck site of Titanic, and owner of the collection of over 5,500 artifacts that have been recovered from the wreck site of Titanic.
Visitors to the exhibition will receive a replica boarding pass granting them permission to "board" the White Star Line's R.M.S. Titanic, and from there the journey begins. The galleries focus on the legendary Titanic's compelling human stories as best told through extensive room re-creations and authentic artifacts recovered from the ocean floor.
On opening day, visitors will have the unique opportunity to meet Titanic's captain, Edward John Smith. Captain Smith look-a-like Lowell Lytle, one of only 150 people to have seen Titanic where it lies 12,500 feet below the ocean's surface, will relate what the 12-hour dive was like as well as tell stories of cruising aboard Titanic from 10 to 11:30 am.
Regular admission is $27 and includes admission to the museum and 3D theater, with discounts available for museum members, students, children, seniors, military, and groups of 10 or more. (877/946-7797, www.sdnat.org)

Closed Roads
Although Council aims to have up to date information, that is not always possible. The nature of our road drainage system is that when the ground is saturated and there are isolated short heavy downfalls, roads can be inundated for short periods of time. Our staff do their best to display and remove warning signs in a timely manner. You may come across water over the road without warning, so always drive to the conditions, cautiously, and if it is flooded, forget it.
Residents can report local road maintenance issues to Council by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, which is monitored between 6.00am and 5.00pm on work days, or call 3412 3412 if the matter is an emergency which needs to be dealt with after hours.
Updates will be provided on road closures when available.

Pass up a ride with the LG Revere 2
Available from Verizon for $79.99, the LG Revere 2 sports a sophisticated brushed-metal look and a familiar clamshell construction. It's aimed at customers looking for something simple and low-maintenance.
However, even with these somewhat attractive features, the device has enough shortcomings to make me doubt its viability. For instance, the browser is so tedious to use (and trust me, I've used my fair share of rudimentary mobile browsers), I wondered if it was even worth the effort to put it on there in the first place.

Welcome, guest
May 01, 2009
Following Madoff, and at the behest of investors, more U.S. hedge funds are hiring independent administrators to prove their operational strength.
It's rare for SAC Capital Advisors and Viking Global Investors not to be on the cutting edge of the hedge fund industry. But this spring, in at least one aspect of their businesses, they seem to be playing catch-up. The reason? Neither has an independent hedge fund administrator - and both are quietly talking about hiring one.
Administration, or the back-office work of reconciling trades and keeping records and books, is by no means sexy. But as the large fraud perpetuated by Bernie Madoff underscores, proper administration is necessary, and these days for investors that means an independent party to do the checking.
In the United States there is no industry convention with regard to hedge fund administration or any legal requirement for hedge funds to...

Tourism workers and activists in Luxor protest a newly appointed Islamist governor and block his office Tuesday June 18, 2013. Adel el-Khayat was named to the provincial governor's post Sunday by President Mohammed Morsi, causing outrage because of his links to Gamaa Islamiya, which waged an armed insurgency against the state starting in 1992 and attacked police, Coptic Christians and tourists. Tourism is the lifeblood of Luxor but it has been hit hard by the downturn in foreign visitors since the Arab Spring unleashed political turmoil since 2011. Signs in Arabic read, "The plot you are hatching, we will undo" and "leave terrorist."

Penn State has been in the news this week - and not in a good way.
After the Freeh Report was released on Thursday, former FBI Director Louis Freeh announced that there had been a systematic cover up of sexual abuse against boys in the late 1990s by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The report was damning of former Hall of Fame Coach Joe Paterno and the college is still reeling from the effects of the scandal. Employees, some of whom reported the abuse, said the integrity of the football program was protected over the safety of the boys. The college is facing civil suits and possible sanctions of its athletic program by the NCAA.
Sandusky was convicted on 45 criminal counts in a trial and eight young men testified against him. Though the 68-year-old former coach will spend time in prison, the one person nobody will have a chance to talk to is Paterno - who died of cancer earlier this year.
Though Paterno has been revered for his work with the Penn State football program, there has even been talk of taking down his campus statue. Are the allegations against him fair? He's not able to defend himself? Is it possible the public will never know what really happened at Penn State?

This entire affair is a terrific example of the tail wagging the dog. Penn State forgot they are a university, not an NFL farm team.
Bill Maitland

They never forgot that at all. It's a tragic case of following the money. Penn State sold its soul to protect the golden goose that generates millions of dollars every year. Slowly but surely, the myth of purity in athletics is becoming a smoke dream. What disturbs me is the idea that many believe only Penn State is controlled by its money-making football program. All Division I schools have been put on notice.

From lead in toys to BPA in food cans to flame retardants in furniture, families should no longer be exposed to harmful chemicals, without our knowledge or consent.

[caption id="attachment_5503" align="alignright" width="260"] Support the Fracking Moratorium![/caption]
Last week, New York Assembly Democrats approved a two-year fracking moratorium. They believe, like us, that the health effects of hydrofracking should be studied before New York Governor Andrew Cuomo can approve moving forward with fracking in the state.
Now, it's your chance to support this groundbreaking legislation. Parents and families everywhere must voice their support to protect their health and the health of future generations.
Great news: CEH's report on toxic flame retardants in nap mats has spurred Senator Frank Lautenberg (NJ) and 22 other Senators to call for an EPA study into flame retardant chemical dangers.
Right now, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), on behalf of strawberry agribusiness corporations, are asking Secretary of State Clinton and EPA Administrator Jackson to get more methyl bromide for California. Why? Because instead of coming up with safe, non-toxic alternatives to methyl bromide, industry's favored alternative was another toxic pesticide called methyl iodide - a chemical known to cause genetic damage, miscarriages and cancer.
Secretary Clinton will be leaving office later on this month. Tell her to leave us with a healthy legacy, one without more methyl bromide. Let's make 2013 the year of the healthy strawberry.

Code of Practice
There will be monthly Board meetings, which all Governors will be expected to attend or to make apologies for. The meetings will usually be held in the #ppuk-board channel on the PPUK IRC server.
Six voting Governors are required for a quorum. A decision by the majority of those present is binding.
Making constitutional amendments
The process for making a constitutional amendment has seven steps:
Proposition of amendment to the Board. Anyone can do this* at any time!
Internal Board discussions.
Consultation with the NEC.
Post-NEC consultation internal Board discussions.
Consultation with members. This will usually occur via the Board of Governors forum.
Post-member consultation internal Board discussions.
Member vote.
These steps can be quite slow, but have seemed to work quite well so far.
You may, if you wish, discuss in advance with other in the members forum.
Discipline and arbitration
Disciplinary panels shall consist solely of 5 Governors selected on the Board's discretion, but subject to any further condition. Any Governor with a potential and significant interest in the matter before a disciplinary panel cannot sit on that panel.
A panel will be set up following an official request received by the Board for discipline of a Party member or arbitration of a dispute. The panel will sit for as long as necessary.
The panel will investigate all of the available facts, and come to a decision. The panel will act independently of the rest of the Board and of the NEC.
Decisions of the Board shall be binding on all members in the case of disciplinary matters, or on the appellant in the case of arbitration matters. The Board cannot be bound by decisions of a disciplinary or arbitration panel.

By Rex Crum, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tech stocks ended up putting in a mixed market performance Friday, with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. slumping more than 14% following an earnings and revenue warning from the chipmaker, and Workday Inc. surging in the enterprise-software company's public debut.
AMD /quotes/zigman/216580/quotes/nls/amd AMD +0.99% was one of the tech sector's biggest percentage decliners, with its shares falling 14.4% to end the day at $2.74. Late Thursday, AMD said that it expects its third-quarter sales to fall 10% from the second quarter due to weaker-than-expected demand for all of its major product segments due ongoing economic challenges. AMD had earlier said it expected a sequential sales decline of between 1% and 3% for its third quarter.
In addition to AMD's losses, an analyst's negative view of hard disk-drive makers Western Digital Corp. and Seagate Technology added to concerns about the outlook for spending on IT products.
Best Buy playing hardball on Web
Best Buy is preparing to announce that it will match online prices offered by rival retailers this holiday season even as the consumer electronics chain contends that the threat from Internet-only competitors is overblown.
The Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP +0.87% , which had been above water early in the day, ended up falling by 5.3 points to close at 3,044. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index /quotes/zigman/1468249 SOX +1.63% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index /quotes/zigman/6015481 MSH +0.96% edged into the red.
Stocks were also hindered as attention turned to whether Spain would look for assistance in its debt crisis. See: U.S. stocks tilt lower on Spanish concerns.
Workday /quotes/zigman/12221563/quotes/nls/wday WDAY -1.39% turned into a tech-sector standout, with its shares climbing by almost $21 a share, or nearly 74%, to close at $48.69 after pricing its IPO at $28 a share. Workday provides cloud-based software used by businesses to manage employee processes and data. Read more about what's behind Workday and its IPO.
Among other companies in the cloud-based enterprise-software market, Oracle Corp. /quotes/zigman/76584/quotes/nls/orcl ORCL +0.38% , Salesforce.com Inc. /quotes/zigman/338061/quotes/nls/crm CRM +0.08% and Citrix Systems Inc. /quotes/zigman/55934/quotes/nls/ctxs CTXS +1.39% closed with small gains, while ServiceNow Inc. /quotes/zigman/10709343/quotes/nls/now NOW -0.97% dipped into the red.
The two-biggest hard disk-drive makers also closed in the red, with Western Digital Corp. /quotes/zigman/10322511/quotes/nls/wdc WDC +0.03% down by 1.6% to close at $36.02, and Seagate Technology /quotes/zigman/118457/quotes/nls/stx STX +2.23% giving up 0.6% to end the day at $28.07, following ratings downgrades by Citigroup analyst Joe Yoo.
Yoo cut Seagate and Western Digital to sell from buy, saying in a research note that there are signs of "overwhelming" deterioration of demand for PCs and in the enterprise market.
Groupon Inc. /quotes/zigman/7212269/quotes/nls/grpn GRPN -0.13% shares managed to gain 4 cents to close at $5.29, while online review sites OpenTable Inc. /quotes/zigman/113163/quotes/nls/open OPEN +0.30% rose 1.3% to $45.29, and Yelp Inc. /quotes/zigman/9021597/quotes/nls/yelp YELP -0.63% gave up almost 2% to close at $25.24.

After getting an overwhelming response on the release on Xbox Kinect, Microsoft is here with another exciting feature for Xbox users. Steve Ballmer announced 'Avatar Kinect' at CES 2011 during Microsoft's press briefing.
Avatar Kinect is basically an Xbox 360 feature that allows users to act as their digital avatars on the screen using the Kinect for Xbox. It makes use of Xbox Kinect sensors to read the gestures and even the finer moments of smile and eyebrow. These gestures and motions are then replicated on the screen.
The idea is a superb, innovative one, you can hang up with friends on Avatar; join the virtual chatroom with other Kinect users over internet and much more. Microsoft describes the phenomena like this:
With Avatar Kinect, a player can invite up to seven friends to join them in one of 15 imaginative virtual environments to reflect their mood and inspire their conversations or performances. Arrive or leave sessions in style with unique animations like flying in with a jet pack, or snapping fingers to vanish. Players can also add cool animated and visual effects to creatively express their thought.
The Avatar Kinect is expected to be released this Spring, and the good thing is it would be available for free to all Xbox LIVE Gold members. Now that's great, here is Avatar Kinect's trailer to let you watch it in action!

International LGBT News
I don't know if we have a thread like this--but I want to keep before us the international nature of the LGBT movement. I have a particular interest in Africa. Here's a story about South Africa, but it gets into what is going on in the rest of the continent: http://www.sundayherald.com/internat...546316.0.0.php Steven Webster |

More on Uganda
The following is in reaction to a press conference by Uganda's gay group SMUG, in which they asked the public to stop discriminating against GLBT people. I couldn't get to the original without logging in, and I didn't want to register. The reaction is the "same old, same old," but in Uganda it take a lot of courage to speak publicly.
http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/13/581922 Religious leaders rap homosexuals Friday, 17th August, 2007 E-mail article Print article By Steven Candia and Alfred Wasike FAITH groups yesterday condemned the homosexuals' move to demand for acceptance while the Government and the Police moved with caution. On Thursday, homosexuals had a press conference where they complained about discrimination. Sheik Yahaya Lukwago, an executive member of the Uganda Muslims Supreme Council, accused the group of polluting the public. "In the Sharia law, they deserve to be killed. Allah created us for reproduction. Prophet Mohammed wrote in the Quran that homosexuals should be killed," Lukwago said. Archbishop Dr. John Wani, of the Seventh Day Adventists (SDA) Church said it was for such unnatural behaviour that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. The Rev. Aaron Mwesigye, the Provincial Secretary of the Church of Uganda, said the practice was against the scriptures. "God's design and intention is for humanity to express itself only in male and female relationship and for procreation. We condemn homosexuality. Our position is to seek out lost sheep." A senior Catholic cleric yesterday condemned homosexuality saying it "'goes against the grain of the scriptures.' "Procreation is the main purpose humanity was created. How would procreation take place if homosexuality is exalted," he asked. Ethics minister James Nsaba Buturo termed Thursday's press conference as "a challenge against the law and unacceptable", dubbing it "a game aimed at softening public opinion." However, he conceded that the matter was complex, adding that the Government would issue a statement on the matter "at an appropriate time." The press conference, largely perceived as pointer of the vice taking root in the community, forced Buturo to hastily convene a meeting with the Minister of Internal Affairs, seeking his opinion on how to deal with the matter. Buturo also blamed the Police for not doing its work. "I wish the Police would do its work," he said. But the Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura, yesterday said the matter was complex and needed to be approached cautiously. "This practice has been around and is a problem, which needs a multi-pronged approach, including stakeholders to combat,' he said, adding: "But we are studying the matter." |
Here's the original story on Uganda
I copied the text of this article from another list I belong to. It is from the same newspaper. I don't know the URL.
Uganda: Kampala Homosexuals Speak Out New Vision (Kampala) 16 August 2007 Alfred Waske Kampala In an unprecedented show of boldness, the homosexual community in Uganda yesterday came out and addressed their maiden press conference, complaining about discrimination and demanding acceptance by the public. "Please, let us live in peace. Stop persecuting us. God created us this way. We are children of God as well," shouted more than 30 homosexuals led by Victor Juliet Mukasa, leader of the Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), their umbrella organization comprising Freedom & Roam, Spectrum Uganda, Integrity Uganda and Icebreakers Uganda. Some of them wore masks. The Uganda Penal Code Act criminalizes homosexuality. The law regards homosexuality as an unnatural offence punishable with life imprisonment. The Penal Code says any person who has carnal knowledge of another against the order of nature commits the offence. Mukasa said their community comprises of lesbians (woman and woman), gays (men and men), bisexual (men and women), transgender (born with female genitals but with a male mentality) and intersex (born with more than one sexual organ or hermaphrodite). She abbreviated their community as LGBTI. Dressed in a dark male blazer, Mukasa said in a female voice: "I am a transgender. I was born with a vagina but my mentality is different." She revealed that in order to hide her identity, she had been strapping her breasts with belts, bandages and other materials. "In a landmark case, we, Ugandan LGBTI people assembled at the High Court of Uganda two months ago to reinforce our right to privacy, dignity and property. There were no charges against us. We had done nothing wrong," Mukasa said. She said her group went to court because the Police raided her home in 2005, arrested her guest, stole many documents, dragged them to Kireka Police post and forced her guest to strip naked in order to prove that she was a woman. "We were treated in a degrading and inhumane way. Many of us have suffered similar injustice. We are here today to proclaim that these human rights violations are completely unacceptable," she protested as the roomful yelled, "Leave us to live in peace." They said they were concerned about the spread of HIV/AIDS because medical nstitutions discriminate against them. They urged the Police and LDUs to top harassing their members. "Don't lay a hand on us, we are the homosexual hildren of God. God created us this way and all we ask is let us live in eace." Another transgender, Brenda Kizza, with a male face and female body shocked he media when she said the Police has tortured her so much that at some point they kicked her teeth out. She opened her mouth to show her fake teeth. "I had to buy these because I lost the originals, courtesy of policemen," she testified in Luganda. Several others also testified. Someone in the audience identified himself as Dr. Paul Ssemugooma and estimated that there are at least 500,000 homosexuals in Uganda. There were human rights defenders like Jessica Nkuuhe, Sarah Mukasa, Beatrice Were and others. |
More on Uganda
Here's a link to an article at Talk2Action.com http://www.talk2action.org/story/2007/8/25/3390/83947 This article contains many other useful links. One interesting article that the above article links to points out that Uganda used to be a success story in AIDS prevention until the Bush administration pushed the unscientific idea of "abstinence only" on the country with the aid of some of their own home-groan "evangelicals." The other important piece of information contained in this story is the fact that African LGBT people are actively seeking equality. Again, I feel we need to become more informed and supportive of their struggles. The struggle for human rights and LGBT equality are international struggles that do not know borders. By the same token, our adversaries here in the U.S. also are involved in promoting oppression of LGBT people abroad. Steven Webster |
Good News! Peter Akinola does not speak for all Africa!
Here's the link: http://www.churchtimes.co.uk/content.asp?id=32744 When the article speaks of North American interests spending "the Almighty Dollar" to win influence with African bishops, I believe they are referring primarily to IRD (Institute on Religion and Democracy)--a right wing Washington think-tank that seeks to destroy mainline denominations like Episcopalians, Methodists and Presbyterians which have been "too liberal" in their social and anti-war emphases. They use the issue of homosexuality as a wedge issue to promote discord and schism. Steven Webster |
I'm going a little North of Africa with this news.
The article/link illustrates how legislation in Britain is being opposed that would extend more rights to gay persons. What's worth noting here is how opposition to this legistlation is not unlike the religious Right's oppostion to Hate Crimes legislation. The headline? Church of England: Labour's equality law denies Christians right to oppose homosexuality http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770 |
The issue is a LITTLE more complicated in England since they don't have the first and second amendments to protect ABSOLUTELY the right of free religious speech and conceivably churches could be forced to support and allow things that they feel are opposed to their core beliefs. Its one of the down-sides to being a non-constitutional democracy. SILLY REPLY: Someone needs to tell Rowan that he is the F***** Archbishop of Canterbury !!!!! HE NEEDS TO GET A F****** haircut! Have his eyebrows trimmed, iron his purple shirt once in a while and get his TEETH FIXED !!! SHEESH! He looks like he was sent for and couldn't come ! |
C of E coming to ECUSA
The Archbishop of Canterbury is scheuled to meet soon in New Orleans to "consult" with the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church USA over the primates' ultimatum concerning gay bishops and blessings of same-sex unions.

Criminalizing the Bahai Faith in Iran
The opposite of freedom of religion is the banning of religion. The Bahai faith-community in Iran is a case in point. Iran has effectively banned the Bahai religion by criminalizing it as a religious organization.
On the heels of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Iranian regime tried to eradicate the Bahai Faith as a viable religious organization by executing its leaders. In 1981, the state summarily executed all nine members of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahais of Iran. In 1984 and 1986, Iranian authorities executed the majority of the members of the new National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahais of Iran, which had been elected to replace the martyred members of that same council. The alternative to killing was criminalization. In 1983, when summary executions of elected Bahai leaders didnt work (because new Bahai leaders were soon elected to take their place), the government of Iran simply outlawed Bahai administration in toto. This was a stroke of evil genius. For the Iranian regime knew that the Bahai administrative councils had no legal recourse but to comply. In strict conformity to the Bahai principle of obedience to government, the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahais of Iran, in quiet grandeur, complied with the Iranian ban on organized Bahai activity by voluntarily suspending its administrative network (August 1983). In 1996, thirteen years later, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Question of Religious Intolerance (in his report to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights) urged that the ban on the Bahai organization should be lifted to enable it to organize itself freely through its administrative institutions, which are vital in the absence of a clergy, so that it can engage fully in its religious activities. See Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, Iran: International Religious Freedom Report (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of State, 2001, http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2001/5691.htm). After two failed attempts, which drew international condemnation, the Iranian leadership soon discovered that, whenever it tried to cut off the head of the Bahai community, the head would grow back, for the simple reason that the Bahai community would democratically elect a new national administrative body. For more on this subject and thanks for his comments: go to the internet site Iran Press Watch for an article entitled "Criminalizing the Bahai Religion," March 15th, 2009 by Dr. Christopher Buck. |

PhD degrees are normally three years in length (full-time); MPhil degrees are usually one year full-time. However, many Schools offer the possibility of part-time study, typically over five years for a PhD. This may be suitable if you have to undertake your research around work or other commitments, and though it will take longer, the financial cost is generally similar and spread out over a longer period. Professional Doctorate Programme The Professional Doctorate Programme is part time and normally completed over a three to five year period. There is a research and taught component to this programme. The Masters in Applied Professional Practice, which is essentially a work-based Masters research programme, is similar in nature to the Professional Doctorate. It is a part-time course normally two years in length and having a taught element, but also significant work-based research components.

Here we are on the last day of this event. Lots of good questions and answers.
I don't have anything useful to contribute, so I'll start this thread with a couple of stories illustrating how easy it is to get into trouble on the interwebs. You can have all the security software in the world, but it won't eliminate PEBKAC. I blame a certain community supermod for encouraging this...
1) My wife yelled at me that her computer was messed up. (It's always my fault) She couldn't open an email attachment. I asked her to show me. It was from a familiar email address, but the contents were in broken English and the attachment was waaay suspicious. She was just curious to see what it was.
The reason she couldn't open it was that the AV software had popped up a window screaming "do you really, really want to to open this!!!!!" Fortunately the popup was behind the browser window and she couldn't click "OK".
2) A co-worker complained that his desktop had been running slow for a month or so. I immediately noticed that the NIC LED was constantly blinking. Welcome to the botnet. We started playing 20 questions, and I finally got this out of him:
He had gotten an email - seemingly from corporate HQ (we were briefly owned by a large company) saying something like "Corporate has discovered infections on several machines. If you find a file "..\windows\system32\something-important.dll" remove it immediately!" He did. 24 hours later here came another email "Sincere apologies. The previous email was incorrect, and we should not have asked you to remove that dll. Please reinstall the attached file." He did. Hilarity ensued.
He didn't bother to run this by the IT guy (me, sort of) for a month.
3) A co-worker's spouse was visiting, and asked to use our wifi connection to conduct some of her business. She needed to contact the mother ship in another state. Check her email - or so I thought. After a while, she came into my office and said something like " the IT guy at my office needs the password to your router. He needs to change your firewall settings so my app will work." He was running a remote desktop on her machine and had already tried to fiddle the router without asking.
Insane. Criminally.
Anyone care to add to this? Or petition the mods to remove it?

Good idea, Z. A bit of levity doesn't detract from learning.
True story:
On one of the forums I admin, there was someone who was having ongoing problems with his computer. He was a regular contributor to the forum, although in the general areas, not with computer help. The problem I encountered with him is that he wouldn't follow through or would avoid answering questions that were directed at determining the nature of the problem. Instead, he would claim to reinstall the OS and all would be well . . . for a while anyway.
Finally we learned the real reason he had ongoing problems with his computer.
"i am CERTAIN it is running hot, b/c, among other things, I cover all the airvents with a TOWEL while it is running!
yeah, i kno this is not ideal, but there are reasons (flying liquids!) why I am afraid to leave it exposed. anyway, i figured this was adding wear and tear to the machine, but i didn't think it was a cause of big problems in the SHORT-term.
HOWEVER, last night i left it uncovered (lid closed but no towel) and pointed a FAN at it. as of this morning (11 hrs or so) it is STILL running w/o a crash!"
Oh ha! Very tempting Z.
What makes me angry are the occasions when customers come in with problems that are PEND related rather than PEBKAC related
These are the users who admit when purchasing a computer that they are new to computing or not so computer savvy, purchase a system that fits their requirements and after being told "if you have any questions / problems - call and ask us". They get home, unpack the computer, and generally get on pretty well but then they hit something which they are unsure about. OK, shop's closed and they don't want to wait until the next morning, - wait a minute the guy next door has had a computer for years.
They visit their neighbour, to seek help, who is more than willing to offer best advice. Their neighbour naturally doesn't study the config. before letting loose with their registry editing tools and tweak tools from the free cd included in their favourite magazine they received 5 years ago.
The result is the customer calls in the next morning because nothing seems to be working as it should be - I hate this but have unfortunately seen it too often.
PEND = Problem Exists Next Door. - Can be more destructive than most malware

Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
The Transit of Venus
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Series: The Wonder of the Universe
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.

The trick is to use the same mixture for both batter and topping.
The two standard options for homemade coffee cake are less than appealing on a typical Sunday morning--either a time-consuming yeast coffee cake or an unappetizing but quick baking-powder cake.
A relatively simple, quick-to-make coffee cake with a rich, buttery flavor and a tasty crumb topping.
Use buttermilk to thicken and enrich the batter, which must be thoroughly beaten to aerate and emulsify the ingredients; use a generous amount of crumb topping; and let the cake cool completely before serving.

Bishop Persico Reacts to the notice of Proposed Rulemaking
By: Ryan Emerson
Updated: February 8, 2013
Catholic leaders across the nation are speaking out against the compromise offered by the Obama administration for healthcare coverage of contraceptives for employees of faith-based institutions.
That includes Erie bishop Lawrence Persico.
He responded to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking saying it does show some movement by the administration, but falls short of addressing wide-ranging concerns.
He released a statement about the notice of proposed rulemaking last night saying quote.
"The governments definition of religious employer is extremely narrow in that it defines freedom of religion as little more than freedom of worship.
Houses of worship are exempt- but religious organizations such as catholic charities, hospitals and colleges are not"

There's a website where you can buy Lucky Charms or Count Chocula and it just has marshmallows!
Everyone dreams of a Lucky Charms box full of only the marshmallows as a kid. You may now live out your fantasy. CerealMarshmallows.com is a website that offers boxes of only the marshmallowy goodness found in Lucky Charms and Count Chocula.
Some people have bought the boxes as gag gifts and for fun. Others buy them and use the marshmallows in various recipes instead of normal marshmallows. You can eat them as a dessert all in themselves, too.
Nathan Wratislaw is the owner of CerealMarshmallows.com. He said he built the site out of the frustration that comes from getting to the bottom of the cereal box and there are no more marshmallows.

The Corrupt Desert is a biome that was added in the 1.1 update.
When Hardmode is activated, Corruption will spread to other blocks, including sand. When the Corruption, this includes Vile Spit attacks from a Corrupter or Unholy Water, comes into contact with Sand, it becomes Ebonsand, which makes up the Corrupt Desert.
- Corrupt thorns will not grow in the Corrupt desert.
- It is possible for the background to change to the corrupt desert background before the Wall Of Flesh is killed. This happens when there is too much corruption beside a desert.
- It is able to be corrupted from the underground corruption if the sand is deep enough.
- This biome spawns corrupt Cactus and Dark Mummies.
- Unlike the hallowed and regular deserts, it does not produce Waterleaf.
Update InfoEdit
- Added to the game.

It's a binder, and it does it's job.

About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about Avery� Heavy-Duty One Touch EZD� 3 D-Ring Binder; View, Black, 3-Ring:
Worth the price (that I paid).
By Bev
from Mesa, AZ
Would like more color varietiesSome of my view binders are starting to not lay flat & wrinkling. (View plastic itself)
Very good product
By Mike
from Waterbury CT
I like the 3" size as I can store a lot of statements/papers in one place. The rings always close tight and stay closed! With enough papers in it it will stand up right on it's own. When less than 1/2 full it will tend to fall over when stood upright unless you leave the top cover open a little. I feel better organized and can find answers a lot easier this way. Well worth the investment.
Great design, but poor quality

About Me Value Oriented
I was disappointed in the construction and durability. I expected a more robust product from Staples
I always buy this product for my clients
By The Bookkeeper
from Austin, TX
I have been keeping books for over 25 years and using notebooks from "almost lost my finger closing the thing" to "lost all my papers out of it because it won't close properly" and finally, I have found my one true binder/notebook love. The one button open and close feature is wonderful. The rings close and I haven't ever had them unevenly close. My papers stay in place. There is easy movement even with the 3" and 4" binders, when moving a lot of papers from the back to front and vice versa. Papers don't bind up and they stay on the ring even when full and opening up to insert more!
Nice and Sturdy
By Peggy
from Erie, PA
We utilize so many binders each year and require sturdy and easy to see what is in each binder. These provide both. It's even better when Staples offers these binders on sale throughout the year.
Whole year in one place
By Mag
from Delmar, NY
Because I use this binder for all my finances and another for correspondence for my businesses, I'm constantly opening and closing them. They are easy to open and close and the rings always close evenly.They hold a whole year's worth of documentation. They are durable and keep me organized. When I need to refer to a previous year, it's easy to find the information I need. I use different colors for different businesses. I've even given these binders to others who want to be organized too!!!
should be made better, but

Since its beginnings in 1880s, the Museum has depended on volunteer help for many of its projects and much of its development. Today, more than 250 volunteers participate regularly, making important contributions to the public and research areas of the Museum. Some volunteers come in daily, and many have served for twenty, twenty-five and thirty years!
For most volunteer positions the only requirement is an interest in archaeology, anthropology and world cultures, a love of learning, and a willingness to make a regular commitment. Applicants with special skills and training may be assigned to areas that require specific knowledge and work experience.
Time Commitment
There are no specified days or hours for work. Volunteer time is based on the availibility of the volunteers and the needs of the particular area. Two to four hours, one or two days per week, are usual.
Volunteer Benefits
Volunteers receive free permit parking and a discount on purchases made in the Museum's Main Shop and Pyramid Shop. Volunteers are encouraged to join the Museum as members, and new volunteers recieve a 10% discount on individual or family membership. An annual all-volunteer party is a fun way to meet and socialize with other volunteers who work throughout the Museum.
To Volunteer Contact:
Jane Nelson, Volunteer Coordinator
(215) 898-4277
The Archives at the Penn Museum is a repository for 2000 feet of records and over 300,000 photographic and other visual materials documenting the administrative history of the University of Pennsylvania Museum and its archaeological and anthropological fieldwork and research. Archives Scribes assist in organizing and documenting the historical records. Previous archival experience or library training is helpful.
Collection sections using volunteers are the African, American, Asian, Egyptian, Mediterranean, Near Eastern, and Oceanian. Volunteers help to organize and maintain the storage collections, pulling objects, and check and update cards and inventory records. Responsibilities may include computer data input.
Conservation Laboratory
The Conservation Laboratory is responsible for the treatment, repair, and restoration of the Museum Collections. Volunteers who are interested in the Conservation Laboratory should have experience with Museum conservation processes.
Volunteer Guides (Docents)
The Volunteer Guides offer gallery tours to school and adult groups, Tuesdays through Fridays, with occasional weekend tours for the general public. Although it is helpful to have expertise in a particular culture or historic period, it is more important to be enthusiastic about sharing the Museum galleries with visitors and getting them engaged with the artifacts. Training to lead a gallery tour takes between six to twelve months, depending on the amount of time a volunteer is available. Once trained, guides need to be able to devote one morning a week to leading tours. For more information or to become a Penn Museum Guide call the Docent Coordinator at (215) 898-2681.
Education Office Volunteer help is used by the Education Office to confirm school group tours, help the groups line up for orderly transfer to the respective galleries, and assist with general office duties.
Volunteers interested in working with children and the public have opportunities to volunteer with various programs, such as Cartifacts. Cartifact volunteers engage visitors as they handle and explore reproductions of objects on display and facilitate discussion around a topic. Themes include "Daily Life in Ancient Rome," "Textiles," and "Egyptian Afterlife."
International Classroom provides in-house as well as outreach programs that bring cross-cultural learning experiences to young people. In addition to clerical tasks, volunteers assist in developing programs and resource materials.
The Membership Office oversees the Museum's active membership program, including special lectures, reports, receptions and dinners. Volunteers in this office assist with general clerical tasks as well as provide support for special functions when needed.
Mobile Guides
The Mobile Guides (or Museum on the Go) program, takes traveling programs into Philadelphia Public Schools each year. Volunteers work in teams in this award-winning outreach program, bringing artifacts and information to students about Ancient Egypt, Native Americans, and cultures of Africa.
Public Information Office
The Public Information Office works with every department and research division in the Museum to communicate to the wider world about the Penn Museum and its many activities. Volunteers help with related marketing, telephone, information distribution, outreach events, website and computer projects.
The Registrar's Office handles administrative matters relating to the Museum's collection and is the coordinating center for the total Museum inventory. Volunteers help with filing and maintaining records, sorting and numbering objects, inventory data input, and general office duties.
Special Events
The Museum sponsors a wide variety of special events for members and the public on weekends and in the evening. Volunteers help with many aspects of special events.

Letters | A Dark Trail's bright outcome
November 7, 2012 · 1:06 PM
Imagine asking a group of people to stay out on a dark trail for three hours and do it in the rain? Imagine asking young dancers to perform a difficult song in a parking lot with a light tower for stage lighting? Imagine having this happen with Snoqualmie Valley residents for two nights in a row as cast, crew and audience? It happened.
Imagine them enjoying it and wanting to do it next year. In this the second year's performance of Night on a Dark Trail, the weather didn't dampen our spirits. While some stayed home, those who attended saw a great show and raised roughly $4,400 for Mount Si Food Bank. It is great to have an idea for a community event, to make it a reality. It requires work and sacrifice from a great many willing individuals and sponsors.
This year, we were again fortunate to have the partnership of the Snoqualmie Ridge ROA, Church on the Ridge, the City of Snoqualmie, Snoqualmie Ridge Storage and U-Haul, Mount Si Food Bank, Ignite Dance and Yoga, Mark's Pet Pals and to add Cascade Dance Academy and Pioneer Coffee.
Sponsorship by the following groups made it possible—Allen Tepper, Bayan Restaurant, Carmichael's True Value Hardware, Espresso Recyclers, Hot Yoga on the Ridge, the Kiwanis Club of Snoqualmie Valley, the law offices of David Speikers, Mount Si Chevron, North Bend Theatre, North Fork Enterprises, Olive and Star, Potelco, Sno Falls Credit Union, the Snoqualmie Tribe, the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce, Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, Snoqualmie Valley Youth Soccer Association, the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA and Westerlund Excavation.
We would invite you to see photos from the event on Facebook at Night on a Dark Trail or visit our website at nightonadarktrail.weebly.com. There you will find an exceptional group of volunteers that ignored the cold, the dark and the rain to give freely of their time and energies to provide a scream, a laugh and an enjoyable entertainment while helping out our neighbors in need in our community.

China's new labour law (well, not so new anymore…)
I just wanted to put out this post to bring myself and everyone else who's new to this subject, up to date. In brief, since 01 January 2008 there has been a huge change in the Chinese employment law. Main changes, very summarised, are as follows: according to the Labor Contract Law (LCL) companies have to be legally compliant or they will be facing the chance to be sued. This translates into putting a written contract in place, as well as a written employee handbook, which should be maintained at all times. This is especially important from an employer point of view as without the publication of a handbook, they couldn't be able to fire any employee as no cause can be established. These listed above are in brief the main changes which will affect employers, in particular foreign ones. I will follow up with more info about this topic as soon as possible.
