In conjunction, with the adoption of The Skyline Vision, the Board also authorized the creation of a new logo that would constantly remind us of this Skyline Vision. This is the new logo of The Pittsburgh Experiment that will stand as a constant reminder of both our mission—to stand by the door—and our Particular Vision.

- HOW we disagree with our parents, pastor, or elders
- HOW we confront a friend about ungodly behavior
- HOW we comment on a website
- HOW we comfort a friend who is hurting
- HOW we deal with a "prickly person"
- Arrogance + discernment do not equal Biblical discernment.
- Bluntness + passion do not equal Biblical passion.
- Rudeness + confrontation do not equal Biblical confrontation.
Bible Study
1. There are lots of Christian websites that use sarcasm, mockery and arrogance in their teaching. I don't visit these sites.
If they don't have the HOW right, I'm suspect of anything they have to say, especially if they are "exposing the errors" of other Christian teachers or speakers.
If you want to check out errors, I recommend Christian Research Institute or Got Questions. You may differ with these sites on some non-essential doctrinal, denominational issues, but they have good solid research on a variety of subjects from a Biblical point of view (use their search tools).
The salt of the Gospel should be combined with grace, not sarcasm and mockery:
Colossians 4:6: Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
2. Arrogance is perhaps the biggest problem with HOW. We can think our parents don't deserve honor even though God commands it. We can think we know the answers to our friend's problems even when we don't. We can think we have discernment when we simply have an ego problem.
People who think they know it all, need to remember this parable:
Luke 18:9-14: He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." (ESV)

What You Can Expect From An Alcohol Rehab Program In Tennessee
There are certain things that you should know before joining any alcohol rehab program in Tennessee. If you are looking for an alcohol rehab program for your family members, you surely know that you want the best alcohol rehab that will have all the facilities required for your loved one to be comfortable during treatment. There are many alcohol rehab centers in Tennessee and the methods in which they function is not similar to one another. Hence just be visiting one rehab center, you cannot generalize their working style and rules to all other rehab centers.
All alcohol rehab centers in Tennessee are unique and hence to know minute details about each, you will need to visit each of them. You can check the programs implemented by them. Since it is not practical to visit all the alcohol rehabs in Tennessee and hence you will need to do the research online and select few rehabs that interest you. Here are certain points that you must check while checking out a alcohol rehab program in Tennessee.
1. Before joining any alcohol rehab, you must know what kind of treatment programs the center is going to provide. The rehab programs are different in different centers and hence you must inquire about the rehab program first in whichever alcohol rehab treatment center you want to join. The treatment program should be comfortable for the patient.
Make sure that you know each and every minute thing associated with the treatment program. The program should be proper for the needs of the patient. You can also check out the treatment program on the official website of the alcohol rehab treatment center in Tennessee.
2. You should also consider all the facilities that the alcohol rehab program in Tennessee is going to provide you during the treatment. The rehab center must have 24 hour nursing care provided to the patients. Some alcohol rehabs don't have 24 hour care facility.
3. The detox treatment is the main part of the alcohol rehab program in Tennessee and hence you should check the detox facility of the center before joining it. Few centers don't have detox treatment in their center and might send the patient to other rehab for taking that treatment. This will be very inconvenient for you and the patient.
4. If the rehab center doesn't have detox and you did not know this before joining the rehab center then you will get frustrated and the patient will feel uncomfortable in the new rehab center. At this point there will be nothing that you can do and you will have to adjust with whatever the center tells you to do. Hence, making an inquiry beforehand is the best solution to avoid getting into this trouble.
5. The aftercare facility should also be given to the patient by the rehab center and ideally it should not shift the patient from one center to other. A proper aftercare treatment does wonders and hence you cannot overlook its importance in the overall alcohol rehab program in Tennessee.
6. You should also check out what kind of medications will be given to the patient and whether the medications are safe and not addictive. The medications offered at different rehab centers are different. Some centers follow holistic approach while others focus on the aromatherapy and acupressure. Some centers will focus on Yoga and other breathing exercises. You can take the opinion of the patient and select the treatment center accordingly.
7. The alcohol rehab centers that have proper intervention program are good to select. You will need an interventionist or a counselor to guide you and the patient through all the steps of the addiction treatment. Only a few alcohol rehab centers have these intervention programs and hence select carefully.
To gather information about the rehab center is not difficult. You can either visit them personally or search the information in the FAQ section and About Us section on the centers official website. You will also get contact information of the treatment centers such as their phone numbers where you can contact a representative and ask whatever you want to ask them regarding the alcohol rehab program in Tennessee. You should not feel hesitant to ask these questions that will educate you about the treatment center in a better way. By selecting the correct treatment for the patient, you are going to help them by giving them a protective environment where they will be given proper care and treatment. If you will follow the above points then you will never make mistake in choosing a right alcohol rehab program in Tennessee.

Often the distinction between high- and low-tech startups is measured by the proportion of technical employees — such as fraction of R&D employees or fraction of R&D spending (i.e. R&D intensity).
Still, tech startups are not homogeneous. Some of the distinctions that have been draw are science- vs. engineering-based startups, or industry-specific startups like IT, cleantech, or biotech.
This week I attended two business plan competitions here in Claremont: Wednesday's business plan competition at the Keck Graduate Institute (which I organized) and today's Kravis Competition across all the Claremont Colleges.
|Judges at KGI 2013 Business Plan Competition: George Golumbeski, Stephen Eck, Bob Curry. Not shown: Liam Ratcliffe, Paul Grand
In comparing the KGI plans to the other Claremont projects — or those in our textbook — it seems to me that — at least from a financial standpoint — there are three types of companies: high tech, medium tech and no tech.
What is dramatically different about our students projects was that (with one exception) is that they're highly capital intensive, requiring $5 to $50 million in outside funding. For example, the winning team — using technology from Children's Hospital Los Angeles to repair Shortened Bowel Syndrome — estimated it needs $20 million in equity and $5 million in government grants to get to market. This project — like many others — is building on millions of dollars of NIH/NSF/foundation grants already received to develop the basic science. There is a certain minimum scale required to get FDA approval and thus generate first revenues.
|2013 winning KGI team — Hadi Mirmalek-Sani, Porus Shah, Shrina Shah, Rajesh Pareta —
with Bob Curry, chair, KGI Board of Trustees
Over the years, entrepreneurship researchers (and practitioners) have demonstrated that any new company or product has highest uncertainty and risk up until first customer sale. So from a practical standpoint, I suggest a new metric: how much R&D spending do you need before launching a product? How big a bet — with what scale of outside investment — does it take until the entrepreneur finds out whether (s)he has a viable business?
By this measure, the difference is not the % of the money that goes to R&D but the size of the R&D bet that's needed to test the marketing hypothesis.
A company that takes 5+ years and $50+ million is fundamentally different from one that can ship a 1.0 (or revenue-generating beta) for less than $1 million. By that standard, after biotech the biggest bets required are for renewable energy. You can start dozens (or hundreds) of software companies for one fully mature biotech, biofuels or solar company.

The evidence is in! Yoga for children and teens has been shown to…
- Reduce Stress & Anxiety: By reducing perceived stress and modulating stress response systems, yoga helps the mind deal with stress more effectively and lessens its toll on the body.
- Increase Focus & Concentration: A 2014 study found that Yoga Ed. programs develop concentration and attention in school settings, consistent with previous findings on the benefits of yoga with attention problems.
- Develop Emotional Intelligence: By increasing self-awareness and self-regulation, yoga improves children's ability to understand and control emotional reactions. Students who voluntarily regulate their emotions show greater prefrontal cortex activation, better modulation of activity in the amygdala, and lower levels of cortisol in the body.

Last week we took our cold germs off to Suffolk for a few days in the hope the sea breezes would rid us of the germs. It didn't work but we had a lovely time. I leave you with a beautiful Suffolk sky.

I know that way of reading the bible, I believe the bible should be read as it is written not taking away from or as you are doing adding to it.
I ask you again why do the freewill crowd preach as though THEY must go get people saved?
One lavished upon in the Beloved
How is you do not understand, but instead of asking folks who do know you preach for doctrines what you neither know or have...you don't have faith, you preach doubt, you don't have assurance, you preach hit and miss salvation.
Doubt and uncertainty are the substance of your doctrine...mine is faith and assurance.
One lavished upon in the Beloved
You have never been able to stand before the Holy Ghost
How many times we are exhorted to "have faith" or "fear not"...but you want people to fear much. John didn't say "these things are written that you might not know...but that ye might KNOW"
One lavished upon in the Beloved
You have faith and grace in the wrong order.
It's a funny old thing, I suppose inwardly faith is the first thing we are aware of with regard to the gospel...but a little diligent bible study reveals that before we had faith God extended His grace toward us...first He had mercy, then He extended the hand of grace, He preached His word and we believed it, and even this believing was His faith not ours.
By GRACE are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves....lest any man should boast in God's presence.
Aw they like to have a little boast don't they? they don't like thatGod should have all the glory. No no it was their obedience, their faithfulness, their holiness,
because they stuck at it.
It was THEIR golden calf which brought them up out of the land of Egypt...they were not in bondage they had freewill...they could turn and choose not to make bricks of straw whenever they liked.
One lavished upon in the Beloved
In John 15 that you have quoted, Jesus was talking specifically to his disciples in the present tense in preparation for His trial and crucifiction. In that context, He was speaking the Truth to them. If you continue to read in John from what we have as chapter 15 right on through Chapter 16, you will see Jesus leave the disciples and go for a time of private prayer to Father God in Chapter 17, when He finally mentions you and me in the latter part of that Chapter=prayer. Up until THAT time, Jesus was speaking to His disciples, not to you and me specifically. It is wrong to take text out of context and apply it universally, unless it was intended universally, such as the 3rd Chapter of John. Please, read John in context. It is a wonderful Gospel presentation when one keeps it that way.
And, you cannot find any reference to original sin of humanity being passed on to all of humanity. The one and only reference is taken out of context to make it fit Jean Cauvin's (John Calvin's real name) bent in keeping with his mentor of the 4th century Augustine of Hippo. Prior to Augustine, predestination and determinist philosophy was not a part of Biblical teaching and practice, EXCEPT by the Gnostics.
Well you are the boys who are always belabouring us with "we must abide in Christ, we must bear fruit, we must love one another..."or we shall lose our salvation say you...so all the duties of John 14-17 [why start at 15] we must be scrupulous to do but all the grace and truth which make the being and the doing possible are only for the 12 and one of those a traitor.
So the Holy Ghost the Comforter is only for the 12.
I told you, didn't I tell you? you read too much the fathers [so called] didn't I tell you that? I told you that didn't I? did I say to you that you read too much the fathers [so called]? did I say they will lead you astray?
I told you.
When they teach you that the Lord's address in John 14-17 [why start at 15]? is only for the 12 holy and glorified apostles and one of them a traitor they are asserting the doctrine of the clergy, episcopalianism, two ranks and classes of christian, the elite and holy class and the common or garden class, that's you and me, so they suppose.
Lovers of Jesus down through the centuries of time have loved and treasured this discourse of Jesus and clasped it to their bosom and made them their own .
But suppose you for a moment that what the fathers [so called] assert is true, didn't I tell you that you read too much the fathers [so called]? I told you that. But suppose it is true for a moment, Jesus is the Vine and they were the branches, so there were only twelve branches one of these was the traitor so when God lopped him off there was only eleven...where is the glorious number 12 gone? for the fathers [so called] teach that they are the pillars upon which God's temple is builded, the magic 12 um...eleven, you say ah but they had a lottery and Mathias was chosen to take Judas place so the magic number was restored...once again the Vine has the requisite 12 branches...the magic 12. But then oops along comes Paul. Now there is the magic 13.
But you say the apostles were chosen, you acknowledge [I suppose] that they did not choose Christ but Christ chose them and ordained them that they might bear much fruit...yet you seem to imply if we are to go forth and bear much fruit we must choose ourselves...it must be our choosing and deciding, we must pull ourselves somehow up by our bootstraps [and this is exactly how all you guys teach and preach] to reach the position of branches on the Vine...for you will acknowledge only branches can bear fruit and that only if they abide in the Vine.
As for your assertion that sin did not enter the world through one man and death by sin and that death passed upon all men for that all men sinned I call to witness Paul for he said it did. Not only does Paul tell you but the history of the whole world tells you that all men sin from nature and all men die. Not only does the bible say and history say [for there has been no exceptions] but if you will go to the mirror and look therein you will see that YOU too are a sinner, your own nature witnesses against you.
You never chose God, you chose sin as your father Adam did.

One lavished upon in the Beloved
I read and re-read your last post. Neither time did it present a clear, concise, rational message. Is English not your primary language?
You have misunderstood what I and CR and Iwannaknow have said about remaining in Christ Jesus by the doing of good works. Nobody can "LOSE" their salvation as the Reformed folks keep accusing us of saying.
Again, NOBODY CAN LOSE SALVATION. I hope the capital letters make that clear. We are not saying anything of the kind.
What we are saying is that people who become Christians, by choice, which is NOT a work of humans, it is merely a choice, the most important choice anyone can make, can also make a choice to abandon that faith in Jesus.
God is still the God that extended the grace to us.
Jesus is still the Son of God, the Word made flesh, to sacrifice Himself on our behalf to reconcile us to God the Father. Jesus, as fully human-fully God, died and through that defeated Satan's power over humanity and corruptibility of humanity and spiritual death of humanity.
The Holy Spirit is still the power by which we are brought to Christ Jesus to be able to make our choice to accept or reject reconciliation to God.
Satan, not God, is the author of sin. Satan brought sin to humanity. Adam and Eve gave in to that sin and thereby gave Satan the power of corruptibility and death over humanity. However, Adam's sin and Eve's sin are theirs alone. We did not inherit their sin, as Reformed doctrine teaches. Each of us is condemned for our own sins, not anyone elses. Those sins, like salvation in Christ, are choices we make as reasoning beings, created by God with free will choices.
Now, please, if and when you respond, please try to carry on a clear conversation, without all of the confused, jumbled muriad of thoughts and disjointed tangents.
Because the bible knows nothing about it.
That's where the mess IS in the church, that's why folk foul up and bring disgrace and heartache to themselves and to everybody else. They are invited to the front and led to mumble a prayer and counselled that they are now saved...even though no work has been done in them by the Holy Ghost, no forgiveness of sin has taken place, no new birth, they are not made new creatures in Christ Jesus.
They came to the front but they never came to Jesus.
And I am not saying nobody gets saved in the altar call many do and many do not but ALL are counselled that they have mumbled the right prayer therefore they must believe, believe, believe...even though no saving work took place.
These are the ones who "choose" to be saved. I wot well you do not understand, this is a different lingo to yours. This my ol' mucker is the language of the reformation.
For the first 350 years of the reformation there was no such an institution as the altar call...there was no nicely formulated sinner's prayer to mumble...I am not saying nobody cried out in an agony of soul to the Lord to save them or whispered their first breathings of love to the Lord and earnestly desired that He might come take up His abode with them. But that was the direct result of the convincing, convicting , IRresistable power of the Holy Ghost working upon them as a result of the faithful preaching of the gospel.
The like has long since passed from the church...but God is gracious, God is merciful and kind, He will have a people.
This thing is all according to the gospel message which is preached, whether it be the gospel of the reformation or the more modern freewill gospel of Arminianism. What I am contending for is a thourough going work to be done in the heart, a soul cleansing work, a transforming work where the one who is the subject of it is thouroughly saved, thouroughly born again and thouroughly changed...a new creation.
This christian does NOT subsequently "choose" to become unsaved, unchristian again as soon as the novelty and excitement of the "hour of decision" is over WHY? because the work was wholly done by the Holy Spirit, and it was a work done in eternity, they didn't join the church they recieved everlasting life.
I also acknowledge that many of those who "choose" to become christians do at a later time come into a more steadfast and real experience of the Holy Spirit.

And don't tell me that you didn't understand that it is nonsense to say that God chose the apostles and ordained them that they might bear much fruit but that He expects that we will choose ourselves and ordain ourselves if we are to bear any fruit at all. You understood it but you didn't like it.
Incidently these are only the opening skirmishes of a subject which is HUGE both in it's impact on the church and it's impact on the individual christian.
And I contest that it is THIS matter which has resulted in the present condition of the church today. It is the THROWING OUT by the church of the precious doctrines of predestination and election and God's sovereignty and the gospel of free grace.
You can't throw doctrines out of the bible not without consequences.

Sunday - chicken and sweetcorn soup followed by Heston's Christmas pudding with hidden chocolate sauce
Sunday nights are always something quick and easy as I work late. Soup ticks all of the boxes! My lovely work colleague bought me a Heston Christmas pudding as they were reduced from £14.99 to only 99p and she knows I love Heston. It was absolutely divine and I will certainly be buying one again next Christmas.
Monday - Mince and Dumplings
You really can't beat this on a cold winter's night. We cooked a big batch in our trusty le crueset casserole pot. We served it with homemade rosemary roast potatoes and green beans.
Tuesday - homemade fish fingers, chips and peas
The kids loved making their own fish fingers and they were a very tasty and healthy choice for dinner tonight. Read about how we made them here.
Later in the evening I enjoyed catching up with the girls with a light pizza and side salad at prezzo. I now know they are called light pizzas as they are only 1/3 the size of a regular pizza! Still tasty though and a great option if you are counting calories as I am.
Wednesday - Nando's chicken and couscous
We had a late dinner this evening As had an evening appointment. As we were eating seperately from the kids we decided to coat our chicken thighs in nandos sauce (far too spicy for kids - almost had me crying!) and roast in the oven. We served the chicken with a side of couscous.
Thursday - make your own pizzas
We love making our own pizzas. I normally buy pre-made pizza bases but tonight we decided to make our own dough too! Lots of fun for the kids after school.
I had planned to make some chicken soup however we made last minute plans to enjoy a family night out. We didn't get home until late so popped in for McDonald's for the kids on way home and we had a lovely healthy chicken salad with honey mustard dressing.

Carlo Ancelotti Says Sinisa Mihajlovic Needs More Time At Milan
Carlo Ancelotti has urged AC Milan to show patience with new head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.
The former Fiorentina and Sampdoria coach is already under intense pressure at San Siro after the shock 4-0 home defeat to Napoli made it four losses in seven Serie A games so far this season.
Ancelotti won the Champions League twice and the Scudetto once during an eight-year reign as Milan's head coach between 2001 and 2009.
The 56-year-old turned down the chance to replace the sacked Filippo Inzaghi in the close-season and he feels the club should keep faith with Mihajlovic after the Serbian was chosen to take the side forward.
"Mihajlovic is someone with character, with good experience in Italy," Ancelotti told Corriere della Sera.
"We have to give coaches time.
"What is wrong at Milan? It is an amalgamation. But we can't lose faith, we have to keep going.
"What's happening at Milan is like what is happening at Juve after reaching the Champions League final."
As well as Mihajlovic, club CEO Adriano Galliani has come under scrutiny from the club's supporters for his perceived role in failing to ease Milan's struggles over recent campaigns.
Ancelotti believes patience should be shown to the veteran director, who he thinks is still Italy's best.
The ex-Real Madrid head coach continued: "People have short memories.
"Protesting against Galliani at Milan is like protesting the Virgin Mary. For me he is still the best director in Italy."
As for rejecting the chance to return to Milan after being sacked by Real Madrid in May, Ancelotti claimed it was simply a case of bad timing after a stressful period at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
"When he learned I would not be staying in Madrid, Galliani game to test the waters," he said.
"He showed me all his affection, but I told him 'no thanks' straight away. We spent some nice days together. Galliani is nice and intelligent but after two years at Real I had no energy.
"Real is very draining. We didn't even talk about money. That said, if it had been another time I would have come back."

Ezine #9—When I sat in my seat on Flight 1126 very early last week, I thought, 'What just happened? How did I possibly make this flight?' But something made it possible. It's been a week since the ordeal, and I'm still not sure.

The paradoxical freeing power of commitment

In thinking about our societal problem with commitment, I'm reminded of a poignant episode of that paragon of social commentary, The Flintstones.

Over the past half-dozen years or so, I've followed a season-ending ritual that allows me to segue into winter unbridled with sorrow and longing.

A friend of mine once said that when he dies he wants to be cremated and have his ashes thrown at people he didnt like. Thats funny.
I turn 40 on Christmas day. I am not upset by it. I mean I don't feel old yet so whats the big deal.
I'll tell you what the big deal is. THE COMMERCIAL. THE DAMNED COMMERCIAL.
"HERE IS AN URGENT MESSAGE FOR ANYONE BORN BETWEEN 1922 AND 1968. " Thats Me. I finally made it to the end of the commercial road. This is the final mile stone. I now qualify for to make it easier on my loved ones and friends when I am dead. Great. O.K.
What do I want when I die?(besides being back alive) hmmm. well I want an Irish wake. Also before the wake , when they put me in the ground, I want a song to be played. A deep thought provoking song that makes people cry and cry. I would say play Devo - through being cool
., but out of respect for my wife (who hates DEVO {crazy}),I will pick something else..hmm, what to pick ,,what about "One" from MEtallica, or at least the Polysics version
I don't know. , if you have any ideas please comment.
Enough about gloom and doom. lets talk about christmas parties. I am going to act like a 5th grader with a 6 pack of PBR this weekend. Thats right. I'm getting drunk. Don't judge me. So what if I am naked from the waste down and drunk texting people that I hardly know. After it's over I will say I wont drink again and then 2 weeks later call the season opener of Naptown Roller Derby. (that means drinking). YEAH.

Many artists live in locations where sunny days are rare with not many opportunities to paint outside under a strong light source. We've been told that it's best to paint when the light is good, but maybe that advice is a bit short-sighted. In fact, just by turning up the volume a little, we can push drab neutrals to become an appealing painting.
In the above photo, the scene on the left appears drab and gray. The one on the right has the hue warmed and the intensity slightly raised. Although this is a computer tweak it shows how little it takes to add some life to the bleak scene, but with our paint and brushes we can take it much further just by exploring the potential within an intensity scale.
Let's begin with our knowledge that all neutrals are made of a set of complements. With that in mind, we can take any set of complement at their highest intensity and by gradually adding one into the other like I've done above, we can create the complete scale of intensities that the two colors are capable of yielding when mixed together. By choosing mixes from either the right or the left of the neutrals, we can interpret the scene as being in subdued light while creating a compelling painting.

The Economist: Bulgaria, Moldova Presidents 'Less Pro-Russian Than Advertised'
The truth about Bulgaria and Moldova's presidential elections is "more complicated" and should not be reduced to pro-Russian candidates winning, the Economist says.
"While the winning candidates have made friendly overtures to Moscow, neither will make any radical changes in geopolitical orientation in the short term," according to a piece on its website, which adds those who hope to see such changes will be disappointed.
It quotes analyst Dimitar Bechev as saying the country's post-election positions will be determined "by and for Bulgarian politicians and not because of Mr Putin or Brussels."
"The reality is that politics in both countries is driven by domestic forces, most prominently oligarchs' efforts to secure their financial interests."
The Economist's text, coming after Rumen Radev and Igor Dodon were voted into office in Bulgaria and Moldova, respectively, is available here.

Obviously someone is organizing the pack against the Russians.. and the rule is "who is not with us is against us"... kind of bulling style of maintaining unity... but that is irritating. Interestingly are Serbia and Greece with the Russians???? In reality more than us but the bulling is not applied in their cases.
The question is who is advertising that and why??? Obviously someone pay for the advertisement. And in general we are not anti Russian too..not a reason..(for exmp. have not seen some many American Tourist here)...... but the deliberate \" propaganda about pro-Russian allegiance exposes some tendencies that we do not appreciate.

|Contemplating my food supply...
There was an article nicely written by an influential climber in which he described each of the parts of climbing and described them as almost separate games. Tejada Flores was his name we need him back desperately at the moment.
People describe themselves as climbers nowadays when they are just people who play around on artificial plywood and resin constructs in purpose built commercial hangers next to motorways. And there is nothing wrong with that. But then these same people, or perhaps its alpinists (short for all penis, from the Latin) or Himalayan climbers argue and finally insult each other.
There is another subclass of climber, the editor, who is subject to no rules, or even morals, and he regards all the other games and Players as simply cash.
Games are just that, they have rules, and objectives and in the case of physical games, they require some effort and expertise. Climbing to some people is thought of as 'a great game' or perhaps 'a greater game' and they invest more passion and self in it, than say in Tidliwinks or Golf.
Now then for some weird reason Climbing games don't have fixed rules except for Red-pointing rules adopted by Kurt Albert. Kurt was a German Logically minded and very good at all aspects of climbing. He invested much time with his buddies and promulgated these rules to define the value of ascents, very sensible. We have much to thank him for as I have said before and we need others to make rules or firm up the rules or conventions that others all ready obey. For many years now people who think they play the same game are actually playing by different rules and upsetting other players, or perhaps just making them chuckle.
The recent and now usual nonsense in Scotland where people don't know what Dry-tooling or Mixed climbing means, is a gas. Brits just don't want to accept that in most cases in Scotland, it is all Dry Tooling. And Dry-tooling in Scotland is a dirty phrase, were as Scottish Mixed is held sacred.
A similar instance is played out time and time again on boulders. People, even great champs, don't know what a 'sit down start' is. Neither do they know what a 'Flash' is or an 'on-sight'. Its pretty dumb, because these terms have been around for a very long time. Obviously people fudge a bit, but too much fudging, and we all get dizzy, and start getting lost, and the Game is held in dispute. The Web Mags are so bad now that they steal mutterings or twitterings, or commercial press releases, with not the slightest perusal or communication. Web Mag editors who do a bit of climbing, or used to once upon a time talk about different games within games, that they have no personal knowledge of, or understanding. It would be like me commenting on brain surgery, and how easy I thought it was. And come on lets face it some of the climbers are now taking the piss. And maybe they have a right, they get paid nothing, while Web editors are on a wage!
Read this again, more plain…
Some of the best climbers in the world who have great skill and risk injury are paid zero to very little
Some climbing editors care nothing for climbing, and are paid well!
P.S. Ed idiots note; Innes repeated the mixed route Illuminata before the recent Scottish ascent. She is still incredible and was one of the talented stunt people in the film North Face-see previos post.

Yesterday, FHA announced the increase of their loan limits beginning on January 1, 2016 to $437,000 for single family residences in the following Tennessee counties: Cannon, Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Hickman, Macon, Maury, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson, and Wilson. The increase of the FHA loan limits will likely enable increased home-ownership opportunities in these 14 Tennessee counties for many reasons – some of which might be overlooked by the casual observer.
The obvious additional opportunities for those desiring to buy or refinance houses is possibly obvious. Now home buyers wanting to buy a house up to $452,000 can do so with only a 3.5% down payment! Buying a $452,000 anywhere in these counties with only a $15,800 down payment is an amazing option for many to consider. This down payment can come as a gift from a family member and all of the closing costs for this purchase can be paid by the seller or the lender. This arrangement can be a life-changing opportunity for many who have desire to live in an area where the safety, convenience or educational benefits could reap returns for many generations to come.
Others many need to refinance their homes or consolidate 1st and 2nd mortgages or other overwhelming debts and need the benefit of refinancing their home with an FHA loan up to 85% of the appraised value. A borrower using an FHA loan to refinance their home is allowed to draw out this cash with no questions asked for paying off these high payment debt accounts or for making home improvements to their existing house. The $11,500 increase in the FHA loan limit on January 1 might give those in need the extra breathing room to cause this new refinance loan to make sense for them to accomplish these financial goals to set them up for success for decades to come.
And finally, what many may not be aware of, the uniqueness of FHA underwriting guidelines may allow many who desire to buy or refinance to move forward with their new loan for any of these reasons:
- FHA allows for a "non-occupying, co-borrower" to be added to the loan where those who are planning to live in the house might not qualify on their own merits. Lenders can add a parent, sibling, child, grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin to the loan application and include their income, assets and credit profile to strengthen the quality of the loan to increase the possibility of loan approval.
- FHA allows for financing of mixed-use properties with residential interest rates and guidelines. This would give a buyer the opportunity to purchase a property designed for use as a business AND a residence to purchase the entire property using FHA qualifying guidelines and still use part of the house for business use.
- FHA allows for property owners and home buyers to buy or refinance their homes setting aside additional money for repairs, upgrades, remodeling and rebuilding of the house – all in one loan. This renovation loan called the FHA 203K is an amazing loan which enables home buyers to buy a distressed house and make it a dream house with all of the features that the new home buyer needs to make this home an investment they will enjoy for decades to come and to improve the entire neighborhood.
FHA loan increases on January 1, 2016 may seem like something that only mortgage geeks like this author might get excited about when really other industry partners and home owners and future home buyers should also welcome as we ring in the New Year!
(Please contact this author for additional details about any of the uses of the FHA Mortgage and how it might be of help to you or those you know.)

There is high demand for labourers all over the world. The labourers get substantially good wages as well. Still the shortage is very high, because many youths do not want to join the labour force. The basic reason for this dislike is the absence of clear pathways to prosper further.
The above problem can be solved to a greater extent by implementing appropriate skill training or community college programmes that assess and count work experience for vertical mobility in the academic ladder along with opportunity for further studies during out of work hours. These kinds of systems shall open up amazing opportunities before the existing young workforce and which in turn will encourage other youths to have realistic plans to find out a livelihood first and prosper with the support of it.

text: Professor Jesper Roine discusses jobs and productivity in the digital economy 2016-09-05 A new ESO report investigates how digital economy will affect jobs in the future. Associate Professor Jesper Roine shares his thoughts on how digital economy will affect economic inequality. Rapid technological development has affected job markets around the world by reducing the number of jobs that involve manual work and simple routine tasks. These significant developments stir both threats and opportunities. Researchers hold divided views on how these rapid technological developments will affect future job markets. Some scientists argue that certain types of labour will be eradicated followed by mass unemployment, while some claim that by increased productivity will open new opportunities and retraining will lead to new professions and even more growth. "There are features of the digitalisation and automation process that indicate an impact on the demand for labour. Digitalisation may impact many different types of occupations and may act as both a substitute and a complement to these. It appears to reinforce the transmission of certain skills and talents, which means that differences in productivity between various individuals in society can be expected to increase. The value of the right education and further education will thereby become increasingly important for the opportunity to be employed and for good wage development", concludes authors of the report. For more information about jobs and productivity in the digital economy watch the expert discussion here (in Swedish) or read the ESO report here.

STATE – Republicans took control of the House of Representatives in yesterday's mid-term elections, but Democrats will likely hang on to the Senate.
Republican Jon Runyan defeated Democrat John Adler for New Jersey's Third District seat, 50 percent to 47 percent. However, despite strong Republican challenges in the Sixth and 12th Districts, Democrats hung on to their other seven seats in New Jersey's Congressional delegation.
Twelfth District Rep. Rush Holt beat Republican Scott Sipprelle to win his seventh term, 52 percent to 47 percent. Democrat Frank Pallone beat tea party-backed Republican Anna Little 54 to 44 percent in the Sixth District.
Democrats Rob Andrews (1st), Bill Pascrell Jr. (8th), Steve Rothman (9th), Donald Payne (10th) and Albio Sires (13th) were re-elected, as were Republicans Frank LoBiondo (2nd), Chris Smith (4th), Scott Garrett (5th), Leonard Lance (7th) and Rodney Frelinghuysen (11th).
Two local races for mayor are very close. In Linden, independent Mayor Richard Gerbounka has a 175-vote lead over Democrat Derek Armstead, though when only machine votes had been counted Armstead was leading 4,470 votes to 4,421. The two candidates for Council President, Democrat James D. Moore and independent John E. Miliano, are tied.
In South Amboy, with only machine votes counted, Democrat Fred Henry leads independent Mary O'Connor 1075 votes to 1061. Independents Vincent Mackiel and John Drogotta won 192 and 93 votes respectively.
Carteret Mayor Daniel Reiman handily defeated his Republican challenger Ken Freeman, 3248 votes to 1397. Councilmen Vincent Bellino and Jorge Diaz defeated their GOP opponents Kevin Urban and Regina Merritt by a similar margin.
Democratic Freeholder Rick Proctor easily defeated Republican Patrick Cassio, 4045 votes to 2526, to become Rahway's next mayor. The Democrats' council slate – James Baker, Sal Mione and Nancy Saliga – defeated their Republican opposition by a similar margin. Democrat Robert Rachlin beat Republican Lawrence Bodine 669 to 261 for the final two years of an unexpired term.
Highland Park Mayor Stephen Nolan, a Democrat, won re-election over independent Dominic Cerminaro, 2617 votes to 1238. South Brunswick Mayor Frank Gambatse was re-elected in a three-way race. He won 5611 votes to Republican Michael Kushwarra's 3484 and independent Debra Johnson's 1384. New Brunswick Mayor Jim Cahill, a Democrat, was re-elected without opposition.
In South Plainfield, Republican Matthew Anesh defeated Democrat Michael English 3476 votes to 2653 to be elected mayor. Republican Joseph Bruno defeated independent John Bonacci, 2404 votes to 1857 to be elected Berkeley Heights' mayor. In a three-way mayor's race in Roselle Park, Republican Joe Accardi defeated Democrat Carl Hokanson and independent Kevin Murphy, 1702 votes to 1461 and 142, respectively.
In Garwood, Republican Patricia Quattrocchi appears to have defeated Democratic Mayor Dennis McCarthy, 703 votes to 639. In New Providence, Republican J. Brooke Hern defeated independent Mayor John Thomas, 2495 votes to 1413. Republican Mayor Paul Mirabelli was unopposed in his bid for the final year of an unexpired term in Mountainside.
In Clark, Democrat Richard Kazanowski retained his seat on the Town Council, representing the Third Ward. Republicans Frank Mazzarella, Patrick O'Connor and Brian Toal were also relected, representing the township's First, Second and Fourth wards, respectively.
In Edison, Councilman Robert Karabinchak defeated Republican Mary Lou Resner 9364 to 7229 for the final year of an unexpired term.
Elizabeth Fifth Ward Councilman Bill Gallman defeated independent challenger Marvelis Perreira 1354 votes to 474. First Ward Councilman Manny Grova beat independent challenger Carlos Trujillo 1505 to 115. The other Democrats– Nelson Gonzalez (Second Ward), Joe Keenan (Third Ward), Carlos Cedeno (Fourth Ward) and Frank Mazza (Sixth Ward) — were re-elected without opposition.
Democrats appear to have swept the four ward council seats in Linden. Richard Koziol defeated independent Brian Krupski 404 votes to 294 in the Second Ward. Peter Brown Jr. leads independent Joe Harvanik 413 votes to 362 in the Third Ward. Rhashonna Cosby-Hurling beat independent Davin Russo 665 votes to 217 in the Fifth Ward, and John Sheehy Jr. was unopposed in the Seventh Ward.
Democrats Daniel Buchanan and William Henry prevailed over Republicans Paula Siarkiewicz and Barry Giotta in the machine balloting for two seats on Sayreville's council. Buchanan had 4328 votes, Henry had 4297, Siarkiewicz 4197, and Giotta 4104.
In South Amboy, Democrats Michael "Mickey" Gross and Joseph Connors held the lead for two council seats. Gross had 1135 votes, Connors 1014, Republican Saverio Sagliocco 982, independent Gene Reagan 751, and tea party-backed Republican David Longenhagen 680. Democrat Donald Applegate was unopposed in his bid for the final two years of a term representing the city's First Ward.
At the county level, there were no surprises. Democrats Daniel Sullivan and Bette Jane Kowalski were re-elected to the Union County freeholder board, joined by the third member of their ticket, Linda Carter. Clerk Joanne Rajoppi and Sheriff Ralph Froehlich were also re-elected.
Middlesex County Freeholders Stephen "Pete" Dalina, Christopher Rafano and Blanquita Valenti, Clerk Elaine Flynn were easily re-elected, while Mildred Scott defeated Republican Keith Hackett for Sheriff to complete the Democrats' sweep.
Voter overwhelmingly approved an amendment to the state constitution that would prohibit politicians from taking money paid into New Jersey's unemployment insurance trust fund and using it for other purposes.

Have you gotten a craving for pumpkin spice and apple cider? I certainly have!
Yesterday amidst the football watching and pizza eating I started looking for pictures of Halloween decor to do up our house. The last few years have been a bit dull for me on my most favorite holiday. They didn't seem like I put a lot of time into it and well…being crafty, that made me sad.
This year I've resolved to make it super crafty….I've started my first project….
They're sparkly and the perfect shade of purple…up next are the orange….then black…which I think I will make smaller for accents…and possibly a bright green. I have also on my to do list a special candy basket, tin can lanterns and painted pumpkins. The front yard is going to get a treatment of loose dirt and a tombstone in one corner too…I just have to hunt for the perfect one.
Sadie and I took a walk around the block and while she sniffed, I snapped. Here is one of my favorites. I'll add more day to day.
Have a good day!

SOURCE: Tone Software
June 05, 2012 08:00 ET
ANAHEIM, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 5, 2012) -
Tone Software Corporation, a leading provider of comprehensive voice quality and network monitoring and management software for converged telecommunications and IT infrastructures, today announced that its ReliaTel® VoIP and UC management solution is compliant with key collaboration solutions from Avaya, a global provider of business collaboration systems, software and services.
The ReliaTel solution is a complete service assurance platform that helps managed service providers and enterprises proactively manage VoIP QoS, SIP Trunks and UC network performance to meet their service level agreements, increase operations efficiency, lower costs and drive higher communications ROI. The application is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with Avaya Aura® Communication Manager using the CDR interface.
ReliaTel correlates CDRs with call quality metrics to present detailed QoS diagnostics and analytics for each completed call. When quality degrades, ReliaTel users have access to CDR metrics not available in standard Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) based QoS metrics, such as number dialed, caller ID, Trunk Access Code (TAC), trunk group and circuit number. The ReliaTel solution using Avaya CDR information provides per-call details, trunk group level performance, hourly, daily, call duration and call type trends. This information enables customers to resolve VoIP quality issues easily and perform network optimization to ease congestion and reduce quality degradation during peak hours.
"ReliaTel delivers increased value for Avaya users by fully integrating RTCP metric analysis with Avaya CDR data, enabling voice support teams to more rapidly troubleshoot voice quality issues," stated Amit Kapoor, Director of Strategic Technology for Tone Software. "The ReliaTel CDR solution provides both enterprises and managed service providers with the accurate, actionable data necessary to ensure ongoing, sustainable voice quality and service levels."
Tone Software is a Technology Partner in the Avaya DevConnect program -- an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company's investment in its network.
As a Technology Partner, Tone Software is eligible to submit products for compliance testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab. There, a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compatible. Doing so enables businesses to confidently add best-in-class capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure -- speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.
"By completing DevConnect compliance testing, Technology Partners like Tone Software are helping Avaya customers leverage maximum benefit from their investments in interoperable, standards-based communications solutions," said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations, Avaya. "Using Tone's ReliaTel solution with Avaya communications technology enables companies to deliver the quality and user experience necessary to drive higher business productivity with ease."

Book Study: Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites: Chapter 3 {Field Trips}
16 comments:
I love your idea of taking clipboards outside to look for writing ideas! Could be very helpful to those kiddos that struggle to come up with topics. Writing outside could really get the senses involved and could help the kids add details to their writing!ReplyDeleteReplies
I find that how often we go to our outdoor classroom varies from year to year - some years, it's just too distracting for my learners...other years, they can handle it better. I guess, with anything, the more you do it - the less distracted they'll be. That's my goal for this year - once the weather breaks, I'm going to try to do it at least once a week!Delete
Thank you for sharing different ideas for teachers that aren't able to take field trips. I know that we are not the "norm" when it comes to be able to take them and other teachers will really appreciate that!ReplyDelete
I just commented on another blog saying that I love how this chapter reminded us that a field trip doesn't have to be getting on a bus to go somewhere. How fun for the kids would it be to tell them, "Get your clipboards, we are going on a field trip!" I think they would just be so excited about learning! I love doing buddy activities with other classes in the school. My kindergarten kids love working with the older kids! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!ReplyDelete
That reminds me of when my own kiddos were smaller - we would call our family outings to the museum, zoo or even the mall a "field trip" and they loved it! I'll have to say that the next time I take my students on an "adventure" around our school!Delete
My class loves any chance to go outside to read too. We don't have an outdoor classroom quite like yours but there are plenty of benches and picnic tables we can use. I think it would be fun to buddy up with a blogging buddy's classroom and Skype with them! I never even considered that! Thanks for the great idea Holly!ReplyDelete
Creative Lesson CafeReplies
Any chance we can help our students think about the world outside of our own little community is a great opportunity for some awesome learning!Delete
I would love to use skype for a classroom virtual field trip! I have played around with the idea of connecting with other classrooms in different parts of the country before but have never taken the plunge. Thank you for putting that idea back in my mind as something that would be beneficial to my students! I have to check out some of those links to virtual field trips that you shared, thank you for the great ideas!Delete
Enjoy your weekend!
Teach Talk Inspire
Hi Jayme - you could even Skype with another classroom in your school or district - baby steps sometimes helps a person take the bigger ones!Delete
I am so enjoying reading your thoughts during this book study. I am learning so much from you. I agree sometimes the best trips are just right outside our classroom. During my weather unit, I love for us just to go outside, lay on the ground and watch the clouds. It's amazing what the world looks like when you change the perspective.ReplyDelete
I agree with you so much from so many aspects! You are exactly right! We have to make it our mission to give meaningful experiences. That means we have to be creative. Thank you for your passion in education.
Hi Kara!Delete
And sometimes being creative is tiring - right? That's why I love this book so much. It hasn't really said anything that I didn't already know {yet}, but it definitely confirms what we do and what we know and reminds us that it's important to hold tight to what we know is best for our students!!!!
I loved reading your reflection on this chapter. I agree 100 percent about testing little guys. My school is piloting the PARCC test and it is CRAZY what third grades are expected to do with on an I PAD!!! We just started keyboarding in kindergarten because of that! Happy Sunday! Melissa

During this activity you will have the opportunity to watch some of more than 25 cetacean species that can be found in the Azores. Although nature offers no guarantees, whales and dolphins are regularly seen during our full day tours, along with turtles, seabirds and other marine life. Before the boat trip one of our biologists give you a briefing to explain which cetacean species can be observed, safety measures aboard, how we respect the animals and rules of observation at sea as well as some historical facts. During the tour each passenger is required to wear a life vest (except on our catamaran). Futurismo also provides rain coats and trousers if necessary. Lunch is in a local restaurant. After lunch we depart on our jeep tour. This tour takes you around the rim of the caldera of Sete Cidades, where you can have an awesome view over the green and the blue lakes. After leaving the crater of Sete Cidades we stop off in Ferraria where, if the tide is low, you have the possibility to bathe in a natural swimming pool that is heated inside a volcanic fissure.
Bring: comfortable light clothes, sweater, raincoat, walking boots or shoes, swimming suit and towel, hat, sunblock, backpack, water.
Lunch in a local restaurant.
Q: When the sea tide is not low can we still bathe in the natural swimming pool?
A: If the sea conditions allow you can still bathe in the natural swimming pool, although the water will not be as hot.
Q: What is the sea water temperature?
A: In summer it reaches 24˚C and in winter is not lower than 16˚C. When the tide is low the water temperature varies between 30ºC and 50ºC, depending how close you are to the volcanic crack.
