Welcome to the Web site for UCA's English department. Our department offers you the opportunity to obtain the highest quality education in language and literature in the state of Arkansas—a solid liberal arts education at a state university price. We also aim to foster among our students and within the larger central Arkansas community an appreciation of the importance for the citizens in a free society of reading, writing, the skills of critical thinking, and a knowledge of our creative and intellectual traditions.
We believe you will find our programs stimulating, challenging, and intellectually exciting. Recent evaluations have found our faculty's professional credentials to be particularly impressive, superior to English faculties at any of our peer institutions. But these are faculty dedicated to teaching undergraduate students: Indeed, two of our current faculty are winners of the University's Outstanding Teaching Award, and several others have won the Outstanding Faculty Member award for the College of Liberal Arts.
As an English major or minor, you will join a group whose average ACT score is three points higher than the average for UCA students, and six points higher than the national average. You will be in small classes—generally around 15 students and never more than 25 in your major classes. You will be able to study a sound and varied curriculum, grounded in canonical English and American literature, but offering specialized study in African/African American literature, Post-colonial literature, Native American literature, Asian and Asian American literature, Women in literature, and more.
Further, as with other Liberal Arts majors at UCA, you will have opportunities for study abroad, undergraduate research, internships, and service learning. You may be able to travel with a professor to the British Isles, to France or Italy, or to an Indian reservation in the American southwest. You may have the opportunity to join our local chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English Honors Society, or to present your research at our annual student conference in the spring semester.
Our department offers a straightforward Bachelor of Arts degree, or a Bachelor of Arts with Licensure for students interested in teaching secondary school. On the graduate level we offer a traditional Master of Arts degree, as well as a program for teachers focused on Diverse Literatures, with courses offered only at night and during the summers. Our graduates are trained for professional positions: the BA will give you a solid foundation for a wide range of careers by giving you experience in reading, thinking, and writing critically, and by providing you with the means of understanding and appreciating the literary expression of human ideas. Students leave our program with the critical-thinking and communication skills necessary to enter careers in teaching, in business, industry, journalism, and state or federal service. Or they go on to graduate or professional schools in English, law, journalism, business, or the ministry. With that in mind, you should also remember that recent studies have shown workers in today's world change careers four times during their lives. A solid liberal arts background gives students the breadth of knowledge, perspective and the analytical skills for the lifelong learning necessary in such an environment.
So explore our Web site if you want to find out more about us and how our program may be the perfect one for you. If you are a high school student or a potential transfer student, call our Admissions Office to take a campus tour and come to visit with members of the department. If you are a current student, stop in at Irby 317 to talk about becoming an English major. Or send me an e-mail if I can answer any questions for you. If you really want an education instead of just putting in your time for four years, then a UCA English major may be just the thing for you.

For the first time in 60 years, Baylor has returned to the top half of the Top 10 of the Associated Press weekly poll.
Thanks to Missouri's heartbreaking overtime loss to South Carolina Saturday, the Bears took over the Tigers' spot at No. 5. It's Baylor's highest AP ranking since it was No. 3 in 1953. The Bears' No. 6 ranking a week ago was the program's highest since Jan. 1, 1980.
Mizzou landed four spots lower at No. 10.
As expected, there wasn't much change ahead of that spot as Alabama (No. 1), Oregon (No. 2), Florida State (No. 3) and Ohio State (No. 4) stayed steady from a week ago. One-loss Stanford actually leapfrogged unbeaten Miami, moving up two spots to No. 6 while the No. 7 Hurricanes are where they were after Week 8.
Another of this week's leaping frogs is Auburn, which climbed up three spots into the Top 10 at No. 8. The Tigers benefited from both Mizzou's loss as well as one suffered by previously-unbeaten Texas Tech, which fell from No. 10 to No. 15.
Clemson is the other member of this week's Top Ten, maintaining the Week 8 status quo at No. 9.
As far as first-place votes are concerned, there is no change from last weekend as Alabama (55), Oregon (three) and Florida State (two) hold the same number as they did seven days ago.
Outside of the Top 10, South Carolina and Oklahoma made the biggest moves up in the latest poll, climbing six and four spots to No. 14 and No. 13, respectively. LSU (No. 11), Texas A&M (No. 12), UCF (No. 19) and Northern Illinois (No. 21) were each bumped up two spots apiece. On the opposite end of the spectrum, UCLA plunged five spots to No. 17.
Interestingly, Fresno State and Louisville dropped despite wins: the Bulldogs to No. 15 from No. 16, the Cardinals from No. 18 to No. 20.
As was the case in the coaches' poll, Virginia Tech (No. 16) and Nebraska (No. 25) were knocked out of the Top 25 after losses. They were replaced by Michigan State (No. 24) and Arizona State (No. 25).

I'm A Writer, and I'm An Introvert
I'm not generalizing here...I'm only referring to myself.
Yes, me. The quiet, inconspicuous person you don't see behind the online persona. In real life, when people talk, I'm the one who listens. I'm not the loud, obnoxious Uncle in the family reunion party, regaling everyone with his incredible tale of escaping the deadly bite of the garter snake he found in his garden (I'd be the one chuckling to myself because garter snakes are not deadly, nor particularly poisonous to humans).
In other words, I don't live for the spotlight. Instead, I make sure everything goes smoothly backstage.
That is who I am. And as I learn more and more about the publishing biz, frankly, I'm afraid.
Too often we hear how we as writers are expected to MARKET OURSELVES.

I'm an introvert. I admit it, and the thought of public appearances makes me want to vomit, but I know what's necessary to sell a book.
I'll do what needs to be done. I do enjoy meeting people and listening to thier stories. So, I look at it like that.

This stuff is hard for me too. And even if you do all these things--Twitter, FB, etc--it hasn't been proven that it actually helps that much. Word of mouth is still the best way...

OMG SAME HERE lol. I'm terrified of things like a book launch party where I'd have to speak in front of everyone, or of being a guest speaker at events. I'm the most awkward person, and I hate being put under the spotlight.

OMG, you are echoing my thoughts. I too find it difficult to promote myself. I just cannot indulge in heavy duty marketing. That's so not me.

You're preaching to the choir, sister! I'm a huge introvert (actually, I think it's pretty common in the writer community)! I often say I'm a "recluse-in-training" :-) hehe! To be honest though, the thought of selling myself doesn't scare me any more than the rest of this process--the rejections, dealing with agents/publishers/editors, the rejections . . . Did I mention rejections? ;o) Almost every part of this process is scary. I just try to take things day by day and pray to God for the strength to get me through it! I just keeping telling myself--nothing worth anything comes easy.

I hear you, sis. I'm the same in my daily life. The quiet one who listens, but doesn't say much. I've been forcing myself to come out of my shell. It's hard to overcome the habits of a lifetime, but I feel like I'm making progress. And having wonderful writer buddies, like you, make it worth it.

You are not alone - I was always known at school as the quiet one. I'm the epitome of introvertedness. But I don't like to shout about it :)
Can't we just do all the marketing and stuff that comes with writing online?
No... Damn!

In every test I've taken, I'm shown as smack dab in the center of introvert and extrovert. Sometimes I do like the spotlight and I crave human interaction. Other times I like to be huddled in my corner where no one can see me. It's hard as writer though to put yourself out there All. The. Time. it seems like that is what is expected. But in all seriousness sometimes I can't handle the social media overload. I tend to pick one and stick to it for awhile, then I move around hoping I haven't lost everyone in my other fan bases, but it can be taxing.

Terrified! I'm like you, I'll listen all day long but don't expect me to jump into the spotlight anytime soon! :)

It's a tricky thing because our introverted-ness helps us write well, but then when it comes to publishing all of a sudden we need to get more out there.
It won't be easy, but it is a challenge I am a little excited for. :)
- February 8, 2012 at 8:31 PM
- Ashley Nixon said...
ahaha!! I LIVE for being an extrovert! LOL. BUT. I'm weird for this, I think. I constantly want to be out there meeting people, talking about my book (anything, really...I talk too much), and I want to have great relationships with everyone if I can.

I'm an introvert. I'd be willing to market if I had to--but I don't think I'd enjoy trying to sell something to as many people as possible.

Oh man, HUGE introvert here too! I'm the complete opposite in real life that I am online. I know if I get published I'm going to have to get myself out there for the marketing, and it terrifies me! There's a new thing my friend and I are starting, it's top secret for now but very soon we'll make it public - but the part that freaks me out is that it'll put me out in front of people every once in a while. She did it on purpose, it was her idea! LOL

It terrifies me. However, I've gotten more used to it because of Blogger. Blogging was such a scary thing--being "out" there and so public. I've gotten used to it now, and I think it's helped me feel more comfortable knowing I'll have to do marketing later.

It terrifies me. I'm pretty OK with being "out there" on the internet, but in real life - yep, terrifying about sums it up.

We're simply going mad trying to separate the good from the junk Photoshop stuff... and we've found some more good ones to pass along . . .
Kowing this is the season for shooting landscapes, and autum portraits it's a good time to brush up on some deeper, more advanced techniques. We've got several very good onew from college-level doctors, and another from Mr. Photoshop himself, Colin Smith . . . END THE MADNESS ...

How to Make Digital Photos Look like Lomo Photography
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to apply the "lomography" effect to your digital photos.

Your photos, 300-style!
Give photographs the sepia-toned 300 movie effect. The author Morgan Kervin writes :
Before I begin I will say that each image, no matter how many times you do it will not turn out the same. Each adjustment is made to taste and completely depends on your image.

Vignetting : the good, the bad and the ugly
Some photographers battle to eliminate vignetting – darkened edges and corners – from their shots, but used creatively, it can add interest to otherwise dull photos, and can help focus the eye on the subject of the image.
But while a vignette can be added in Photoshop either manually using the Burn tool or by using the Lens Correction tool in CS2 or later, the result is often a little flat, as you can see from the examples at the bottom of this page. It's easy to create a much more crisp, eye-catching result

Giving Your Photos A Glow
Glenn E. Mitchell II, Ph.D. of The Light's Right Studio writes :
I was looking at some of the recent work of Michael Reichmann. I was struck by one of the photos from a fair in Seville. Michael added a diffuse glow to a group of women, and it really added a defining touch to the image. It gave the image a dreamy look, as if the image truly was painted with light. Michael took an excellent image and made it exquisite.

If you're going to venture out into the wilderness, it's always a good idea to have backup plans in case your infallible sense of direction ends up failing miserably. What do you do if you're stuck out there for a few days with nothing but muddy water all around to keep you hydrated? The ND?R Survival Straw is an inexpensive product that can go a long way to keep you alive. Featuring a fairly sophisticated water filtration technology from Seychelle, the straw claims to "eliminate up to 99.9 percent of micro-organisms, up to 99.99 percent of all chemicals and heavy metals, and up to 99.9999 percent of viruses and bacteria." All you have to do is dip the straw in the stream, and drink away. It's able to treat up to 25 gallons (95 l) of water before needing replacement. Best of all, it's only $30. That's a perfect pricepoint for anyone to consider making this a permanent member of their outdoors survival kits.

While our Clean Monday shutdown is behind us, we may still have forum outages as we continue with the server migration. Please check out the appropriate thread in Board News for more info.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
How would you suggest that we be more in keeping with the message of the Gospel?Would you suggest we remove the Orthodox-Catholic Discussion Forum and merge it with the "Western Rite Orthodox Forum" and secretly ban Roman Catholic posters?
Well it has taken me long enough but I have finally earned a one month suspension. Unlike most here I did actually have to push the envelope a bit, so I definitely deserved this. I had responded to spikman asking for assurance about his decision to move towards Orthodoxy, saying:
Was that one deleted as well?

I had responded to spikman asking for assurance about his decision to move towards Orthodoxy, saying:I've also had another post deleted where I also mentioned the banning. I'm surprised I didn't receive a caution for that one too.
Regardless of who was brought in, the forum has hit the bottom and landed on spikes.

Regardless of who was brought in, the forum has hit the bottom and landed on spikes.There is no way anyone can man a defence for Orthodox over there now. I guess the war is officially over, especially when they start threads attacking Eastern Orthodox and there isn't any substance to a single post in those threads and I simply can't say anything, I'm going toe-to-toe with the two or three main opinion groups that make up the posts on the forum anymore. I know the responses and I would be lead into citing, referencing and making elaborate replies to the post and they'd just repeat themselves and not argue with any academic style.Example:P:Eastern Orthodox are all ________ ________ because on this date _____ this happened and in _______the great Pope ________ made this comment. Therefore they are out of the church and there is no salvation or grace.. blah blah blahResponse: Enough information to get your master's thesis in front of the judgesP: there is no salvation outside of the church and therefore the Eastern Orthodox have ________ and are _______ because the Pope is ___________ and therefore I'm right and everyone else is wrongThere is no point in wasting time if it isn't going to be read or disputed with a real post!!!!! That is the point of discussion. If that forum wants to look and support attitudes that run contrary to the position of the Roman Catholic Church, then so be it. I know there are plenty of knowledge laden Eastern Catholics that read all of these boards that could add much over there. Because not only are the Orthodox ridiculed the Eastern Catholics are as well. It is a shame when the forum was to revert back to an informational spot for Catholics to learn about the Eastern Rites, which is one thing... but when it turns into a place for attacks by Catholics against Catholics... that's just a whole other box of cigars. And while I am ranting, I have seen the latin-refugee attitude that the Eastern churches are just good enough to escape the mass in the Roman churches, they aren't mindful of the very deep and cultural histories of the churches they use as a feel good place and they aren't respectful enough to learn the different methods of worship or anything about the community. They just demonstrate that it is just another offering on the buffet table of Catholicism they get to choose from whenever one Rite of Worship style tires them. This is not what the Eastern Churches are made for, I can assure you that.They are communities that were formed by and most likely still consist of families who have strong and old country ties to the very existence of the particular sui juris church in the first place. These members are are Greek Catholic/Byzantine Catholic not only by their personal convictions but also by actual historical events that happened to their ancestors. When people go in and use their churches as feel good places it is a mockery of not only the church members beliefs but also their shared heritage. While there is nothing wrong about attending a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church* as a Latin Catholic one should be mindful of the history of the people and why they have a UGCC and also perhaps more important, or another part of the equation, they should be willing to learn and understand the worship practices of the Byzantine Rite. Anyway, I'm done ranting.*I chose the UGCC for this example but you could insert any of the Eastern Catholic Churches.Everyone one of them has a history to their existence. For example, besides the historical happenings in the mid to late 1600's the UGCC exists as it does today because the persecution during the Soviet rule created a strong faith among the Ukrainian Catholics and after communism fell the UGCC came out of the catacombs with their faith having been made stronger by the trials they faced. I don't care what a person's argument for or against the Eastern Catholic churches are, you simply can not help but admiring the faith and love for the church despite such persecution. Things to remember, everyone has a story, sometimes the story should be very respected even though you may have different beliefs.
I agree. Isa and myself have been arguing a couple guys in a thread callled "Unstructured Thread". We've been mopping the floor with these guys by buliding arguments cited on historical facts, canons, and scriptures while picking apart their fallacious responses. (A common tactic of theirs has been to throw a dozen quotes at us without even trying to explain what it is they are trying to prove). Anyway, it gets tiring like running around in circles. They are not interested in honest debate only diatribes. I think that I've learned all that I can over there and am ready to take more steps to enter the Orthodox Church.
Sadly, CA Forum appears to have turned into an anti-Orthodox and anti-Eastern Catholic diatribe.
Hello prodromos,It appears that you have not posted on our forums in quite some time. Why not take a few moments to: * Add your voice in prayer, * Ask a question, * Join the Book Club, * Comment on the News, * or just engage in a conversation with another member in any of our forums?May the Peace of Our Lord Shine Upon You,
Ah, you gotta love em.I pop into the forums for the first time since my suspension has ended and look what awaits me
Why not take a few moments to...
I received ten infraction points yesterday. What does this mean?
I don't know. I recieved twenty last week.
You and I may be headed for the dog house together.
We can spend our days there bickering like we do at Catholic Answers. LOL
Perhaps that is a pre-taste of purgatory? Wait a minute--purgatory does not exist!
It doesn't?
I think I'm in the right place.....I'd wave but there are no animated smilies here!
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
I had had some points before I was given the boot. I had ten points before I was "locked" out.
Oh you're in the right place alright.
So....where to go from here? I thought perhaps to go to the convert issues board and introduce myself? I certainly do have questions, and I think they can only be answered by Orthodox, for several reasons. I definitely know better (now) than to ask the questions I have on the EC board at CAF.
Welcome! I was Greek Catholic and spent a lot of time in the Ruthenian parish as they had the Feast day liturgies, pre-sanctified liturgies etc.... So feel free to bounce questions towards me as I can relate to you and know where you are coming from. As a matter of fact it was one of the posters here (also from my area) who helped push me off the fence into Orthodoxy. She's now family to me. So welcome to the board! You can also private message me as well if you have a question you aren't comfortable asking in the public forum. But I agree with you. You have to have solid non-polemical answers at this point. I know you won't get them from the CAF forums. Many of them are roman catholics of the latin rite who wouldn't know a Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church if they wrecked their car into its narthex. But somehow they read four articles on new advent and they're experts. I also grew up in a split family, half Catholic half Orthodox. I am well aware of both worlds through and through. I also know the doctrinal differences of the Greek/Byzantine Catholics and the Orthodox. What I am saying is, I can help you with your questions. If you give me one that I can't answer believe me I can get the answer for you.
And Irish Hermit, you stole that smilie from CAF!!!
I definitely know better (now) than to ask the questions I have on the EC board at CAF.
. . . It would be a blessing were they to shut that forum down - it offers so little in terms of meaningful, accurate info about Eastern Catholicism that Keating should consider its continued existence an embarrassment.Many years,Neil
The small coterie of Oriental Catholics there are trying to hold there own and helped a bit by the fact that they're too 'foreign' to most of the clueless Latins to be the subject of much attention.
That's right. Any Catholic who holds to the actual teachings of the Church is clueless. I am so sick of this East= Good, West = Bad attitude. Especially when you consider the fact that it is the West that has always remained orthodox.

The same clown has declared his assuredness that my Church is 'the most latinized' of the EC Churches;
he's admittedly never been in one,
but thinks he'll check one out during school break and see what latinizations he can spot

Who needs a smartwatch? You might have asked the same thing about smartphones before those got smart enough to be truly useful. This growing tech trend has got our attention, but these smartwatches are still for the earliest of early adopters; we wouldn't recommend any of them to our friends. Yet
Pebble Technology Pebble Watch
The good: The Pebble Watch is notable for its lean design, multiple watch faces, standalone timekeeping and downloadable apps. The bad: The feature set is currently limited; battery indicators are unclear; the plastic look and smaller screen feel a little dated; and getting notifications set up in iOS and Android can be confusing.
Martian Watches Passport Watch
The good: The Passport has a slick throwback design with an analog flair. It's easy to pair with a smartphone for basic speakerphone calls or Siri requests, and it's useful for screening incoming calls and texts. The bad: The Passport is way too expensive compared with its competition; and background noise makes the Bluetooth speakerphone feature tough to use in noisy outdoor environments.
Sony SmartWatch
The good: The Sony SmartWatch draws the eye with its sleek, stylish looks. It also offers a wide range of wireless functions such as message notifications, call handling and music control, made possible by a Bluetooth smartphone connection. The bad: The SmartWatch needs an Android smartphone connection to function or even keep the time, and it's currently compatible with only a handful of Android phones.

I have put up a new release of Pcompress on the Google Code download page. This release focusses primarily on performance enhancements across the board and a few bug fixes. The changes are summarized below:
- Deduplication performance has improved by at least 2.5X as a result of a variety of tweaks to the core chunking code.
- One of the interesting changes is to use a 16-byte SSE register as the sliding window since I am using a window size of 16. This avoids a lot of memory accesses but requires SSE4.
- The perf utility allowed me to see that using the window position counter as a context variable causes a spurious memory store for every byte! Using a local variable allows optimization via a register. This optimization affects the situation where we do not have SSE4.
- Compute the full fingerprint only when at least minimum chunk length bytes have been consumed.
- Delta Compression performance and effectiveness have both been improved. I have tweaked the minhash approach to avoid storing and using fingerprints. That approach was causing memory write amplification and significant slowdown. Rather I am just treating the raw data as a sequence of 64-bit integers and heapifying them. Bsdiff performance has been improved along with RLE encoding. I also tweaked the matching approach. It now checks for similar blocks that are some distance apart depending on the compression algorithm. This actually causes long range similar blocks to be delta-ed eventually helping the overall compression.
- One of the big changes is the inclusion of the BLAKE2 checksum algorithm and making it the default. BLAKE2 is one of the highest-performing cryptographic checksums, exceeding even MD5 in performance on 64-bit platforms. It is derived from BLAKE, one of the NIST SHA3 runner ups with a large security margin.
- I have tweaked Yann Collet's xxHash algorithm (non-cryptographic hash) to vectorize it and make it work with 32-byte blocks. Performance is improved for both vectorized and non-vectorized versions. I have covered this in detail in my previous post: Vectorizing xxHash for fun and profit.
- I have tweaked the AES CTR mode implementation to vectorize it. CTR mode encrypts a 16-byte block consisting of a 64-bit nonce or salt value and a 64-bit block counter value concatenated together. This is then XOR-ed with 16 bytes of plaintext to generate 16 bytes of ciphertext. The block counter is then incremented and the process repeated. This XOR handling with 16-bytes can be nicely done in an XMM register. The result is faster even when using unaligned SSE2 loads helped a little with data prefetch instructions.
- Apart from BLAKE2 I also included Intel's optimized SHA512 implementation for x86 processors and moved to using SHA512/256. This improves SHA2 performance significantly on x86 platforms.
- BLAKE2 includes a parallel mode. I also included simple 2-way parallel modes for other hashes including KECCAK when compressing a single file in a single chunk. This is essentially a single-threaded operation so other forms of parallelism need to be employed.
- With all the vectorization being thrown around with SSE2/3/4 and AVX1/2 versions of various stuff, I have also added runtime CPU feature detection to invoke the appropriate version for the CPU. At least SSE2 capability is assumed. At this point I really have no intention of supporting Pentium and Atom processors! This also requires one to use at least the Gcc 4.4 compiler so that things like SSE4.2 and AVX intrinsics can be compiled even if CPU support for them is not available.
- In addition to all the above some bug fixes have also gone into this release.
However this is in no way the full gamut of optimizations possible. There are more changes to be done. For example I need to add support for optimized AES GCM mode. This is a block cipher mode of operation which combines encryption and authentication avoiding the need to for a separate HMAC. HMAC is still useful for situations where one may want to authenticate but not encrypt. Deduplication performance can be further improved by at least 2X. The current chunking code has a silly oversight. HMAC needs to support parallel modes. I also need to enable parallel operation for LZP in single-chunk modes. In addition I want to explore use of GPGPUs and CUDA for hashing, chunking etc.

Lamb & Lion Ministries had four founders back in 1980. One supplied the faith; another, the leadership; a third, the money. The fourth was the one to whom God gave the vision for the ministry — a man named Dudley Head.
Dudley is one of the godliest men I have ever known. Ever since I met him in the 1970's, he has had an intimate relationship with the Lord, producing many special spiritual experiences in his life.
For example, I remember the day he called me excitedly to tell me about something that had happened to him in his backyard. "I was meditating on the Lord," he said, "when I sensed His presence. I quietly said, 'Lord, please manifest your presence to me in some special way.'"
Dudley said the words were hardly out of his mouth when a Monarch butterfly suddenly appeared, circled him a few times, and then landed in the open palm of his right hand. "We just sat there and stared at each other for a long time," Dudley said.
In 1963 Dudley was serving as the lay preacher of a small church in South Dakota, and he desperately needed encouragement. One day he got a telephone call from a stranger.
"Do you believe in helping people?" the man asked.
"Yes, I do," answered Dudley.
"Even if they are Jewish?"
"Yes," Dudley responded.
The man then explained that he was a Jew who was stranded in the town and needed help. He said he was at a gas station on the main highway that passed through the town.
Dudley drove over and picked him up. He was a young man in his early 30's. He said he had been hitchhiking from California.
Dudley took him home, and his wife fixed dinner for him. After dinner, Dudley asked the man if he would like to go to his church's Wednesday evening Bible study. The man agreed.
They were studying the Old Testament, something none of the members of the church were familiar with, including Dudley. As they began their study that evening, the Jewish stranger soon took over and began to explain the meaning of the Scriptures. Dudley was amazed, enlightened, and encouraged.
Dudley found a place for the man to stay that night and paid for his lodging. The next morning, he had disappeared without a trace.
To this day Dudley believes the man was an angel sent by God to encourage him and to get him interested in the prophecies contained in the Hebrew Scriptures. And ever since that strange experience more than 40 years ago, Dudley has emphasized Hebrews 13:2 to everyone: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it."
Yes, the Bible teaches the reality of angels, and it teaches that they sometimes take on human form in order to minister to those who are in the process of being saved (Hebrews 1:14).
What are angels? Where did they come from? What is their purpose? Do they have a ministry today? How do they relate to the end times? Find out in the following segments of this series on the ministry of angels!

Mankind has been fascinated by altering one's appearance through the use of cosmetics, perfumes, and other means since the dawn of time.
The ancient Egyptians used makeup to define features and add color to their faces. Some Egyptians also believed that makeup also played a "magical" role and protected against illness. Ancient Romans used oil-based perfumes in baths and fountains.
Through the 19th century, it was common for people to use poisonous substances to whiten one's face, add sparkles and color to eyes, and redden lips. In ancient times, it was also common for people to experience severe illness and even death-- all in the name of beauty.
Considering a career in cosmetology in Portland, Oregon? Well, the field of cosmetology covers a wide range of jobs, including hairdressers, barbers, manicurists and pedicurists, and skin care specialists. Cosmetologists are generally concerned with helping customers look neat and well-groomed. Hairdressers and barbers cut, shampoo, and style hair. Manicurists and pedicurists work on nails. Skin care specialists offer skin care services.
Day-to-day duties in Portland salons include booking appointments, cleaning and sanitizing work areas and supplies, stocking and selling beauty products, and, of course, handling client requests. Cosmetologists who operate their own salons also have record keeping and managerial duties. Since workers in the field depend on tips, it is also important to be a good communicator and to enjoy working with people. Repeat business is an important source of steady income and good tips. Weekend and evening working hours are common although some cosmetologists only work part-time.
Education & Training
To work as a cosmetologist, esthetician, or nail technician in the state of Oregon, you will need to be licensed. Every state requires cosmetologists to be licensed, though requirements for licensure vary. Most states demand completion of an accredited program with a set number of hours spent in the classroom and gaining hands-on experience. For more information on the requirements for cosmetologist in Portland, Oregon, visit the Oregon Board of Cosmetology.
In order to work as a hairstylist or cosmetologist, one must also attend a state-licensed barber or cosmetology school and be at least 16 years old. In some states, a high school or equivalency diploma is required as well. Training programs in hairstyling and cosmetology last approximately nine months and may result in earning an associate degree. Manicurist training programs are not as long.
There is an obvious hands-on component to a cosmetology education. Of course, a lot of information can be learned through lecture notes and reading materials, which are easily delivered online, but teaching someone how to cut hair or apply makeup through the Internet isn't easy or practical, so there aren't many online cosmetology programs.

Context image
During the month of April Mars will be in conjunction relative to the Earth. This means the Sun is in the line-of-sight between Earth and Mars, and communication between the two planets is almost impossible. For conjunction, the rovers and orbiting spacecraft at Mars continue to operate, but do not send the data to Earth. This recorded data will be sent to Earth when Mars moves away from the sun and the line-of-sight between Earth and Mars is reestablished. During conjunction the THEMIS image of the day will be a visual tour of Gale Crater, the location of the newest rover Curiosity.
The different features of the sand and sand dune field are readily visible in this image of the western floor of Gale Crater.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) was developed by Arizona State University, Tempe, in collaboration with Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing. The THEMIS investigation is led by Dr. Philip Christensen at Arizona State University. Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Denver, is the prime contractor for the Odyssey project, and developed and built the orbiter.

That's how my 9 yo daughter see our new future life :-)
NOTE: I tried to explain to her it's not possible to have kangaroo as pet. So she answered to me: "Ok I prefer a koala" :-)
So we wanted to move to an english speaking country.
We merged our specs:
- wife specs: country with good cupcakes and some beaches.
- my specs: sunny country and good beer/wine
The short list was:
- US: but no due to too much guns
- UK: too much rain (and I'm French and you know the history :-) )
- Canada: too cold !
- Australie: cupcakes, beers, beaches and sun etc...
In fact the choice was pretty easy :-).
So we will relocate around mi march to Melbourne, Australia (Yes The most livable city in the world see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_most_livable_cities).
While my wife will go to the beach, I will work for a small/medium company (I don't know yet what is small/medium/huge in this country): http://ecetera.com.au. (see smart people http://youtu.be/HGSg2kfW2sA).
The good news is 50% of my $DAYJOB will be continuing hacking on open source ! and the other 50% will be consulting/training on this open source.
If you need some consulting on open source in the Australia area contact me :-)
I'd like to thanks @Talend for the crazy 1,5 year dedicated to Apache hacking !
It was a really great pleasure to work with so amazing team !!
(@glenmazza this relocation will help me to reduce my english typos :P )

Pickwickian Syndrome
What is Pickwickian syndrome?
The term Pickwickian syndrome is often misused to describe a variety of sleep disorders involving breathing disturbances in sleep, leading to some confusion. The term really should be used only to describe a specific set of symptoms that include obesity (usually morbid obesity), excessive sleepiness and hypoventilation (elevation of the carbon dioxide level). Almost all individuals with this set of symptoms have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The major cause of the constellation of symptoms is the obesity. The excessive weight places a significant mechanical stress on the breathing system, resulting in hypoventilation, or inability to breath deep enough, leading to chronic retention of carbon dioxide (CO2). Increases in CO2 can lead to the sensation of shortness of breath as well as lead to lower oxygen levels in the lungs and blood. This can be harmful over time and places the individual at risk for heart problems, especially right sided heart failure.
The obesity also places the individual at risk for OSA. OSA is defined as repetitive episodes of airway narrowing or collapse during sleep. During sleep, the muscles supporting the upper airway in the back of the throat tend to relax. When individuals with a narrowed airway to start with fall asleep, this muscle relaxation may be enough to cause significant narrowing or collapse of the tissue in the back of the throat. A narrowed airway is most commonly the result of being overweight as fatty tissue tends to deposit in the tissues of the airway.
When the airway collapses in OSA, the brain and body protect themselves by making the individual briefly awaken (most people who do this are not aware of this happening) and opening their airway to allow for normal breathing. Unfortunately, as they fall back asleep, the process of airway closure tends to repeat over and over. These recurrent awakenings fragment or break up sleep, resulting in poor sleep, a lack of feeling refreshed after sleep and daytime sleepiness (hence the reason individuals with Pickwickian Syndrome are so sleepy). Other symptoms of OSA may include a sensation of choking or gasping in sleep, restless sleep and morning headaches. Loud snoring often accompanies the sleep disordered breathing.
Not only does the poor sleep affect quality of life, but OSA has now been linked to numerous other problems if it goes unrecognized and untreated for a prolonged time period. Most concerning of these conditions are high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease (for example stroke and heart disease). OSA is treatable by a number of methods and the type of treatment best suited for each individual depends upon a number of factors.
Untreated, Pickwickian syndrome can lead to serious cardiac and pulmonary disease that, in some cases, can be fatal. The good news is that if detected and appropriately treated, it can be reversed. Aside from weight loss, there are a number of treatments used to help prevent complications associated with Pickwickian Syndrome. These include the use of oxygen if indicated, treatment of OSA, and medications to optimize heart function and fluid status.
Of interest, this term came from a Charles Dickens novel, The Pickwick Papers, in which one of the characters ("fat boy Joe") had the constellation of symptoms that now make up the Pickwickian Syndrome. If you are concerned you might have Pickwickian Syndrome, you should discuss this with your doctor. Referral to a Pulmonologist and / or Sleep Specialist may be necessary to ensure the appropriate testing and treatment are performed.

Dodi Soza, the 16-year-old Downey High School running back who collapsed during a game earlier this week, has died, according to Downey Mayor Mario A. Guerra.
"Our community mourns the passing of one of our own today, DHS football player Dodi Soza," Guerra tweeted Saturday. "Our broken hearts are with his family. God bless him."
A spokesperson from Miller Children's Hospital confirmed the news of Soza's death.
Friends of the teen also took to social media, spreading the word of Soza's passing Saturday morning.
"Rip dodi soza 10:48am was confirmed he fought all he could, hes in a better place now you will forever be missed," posted a user who identified himself as Martin Ponce.
Soza was at Lynwood High School on Thursday when he collapsed.
Los Angeles County firefighters received a call at 3:24 p.m. Thursday from the school at 4050 E. Imperial Highway and were told the young man was not breathing, authorities said.
Paramedics arrived within five minutes and took Soza, a junior, to St. Francis Medical Center, authorities said. He was later transferred to Miller Children's Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition Friday.
What caused his collapse is not yet known.
In the short time following Soza's collapse, students from Downey High School and other rival schools began to wear white, Downey High School's home colors, and the number 23, Soza's jersey number, as a sign of support for the junior and his family.
A candlelight vigil was planned for Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the Downey High School football field. People are asked to wear white or bring white balloons, students and friends coordinating the event said on social media.

The ongoing discussion within the church over whether Catholic politicians who support legalized abortion should be denied Holy Communion may reach another critical juncture next week when the U.S. bishops vote on a new draft statement on the much wider question of Catholic political responsibility during a presidential election year. Such statements have been issued by the bishops quadrennially for more than 30 years to remind Catholic voters that they should consider, as this year's draft says, "the dignity of every human being, the pursuit of the common good and the protection of the weak and vulnerable" when casting their ballots.
This year's statement, to be considered at the bishops' fall general meeting in Baltimore, will get more-than-usual attention simply because it is coming before the full body of bishops for possible amending and an up-or-down vote. Previous political responsibility statements were approved behind closed doors and issued by the bishops' Administrative Committee, which in itself is a fairly substantive body of about 50 bishops which sets bishops' conference policy between general meetings.
As our Nancy Frazier O'Brien explained in her preview story two weeks ago, the question of Communion for pro-abortion Catholic politicians is not even addressed in the draft document, though it does note that "those who knowingly, willingly and directly support public policies or legislation that undermine fundamental moral principles cooperate with evil." But that's not stopping analysts from predicting that there will be attempts to amend the document, whether it be by bishops seeking even stronger language on abortion or bishops wondering why the document does not specifically mention the war in Iraq.
In this Sunday's edition of Our Sunday Visitor, the national Catholic newsweekly based in Huntington, Ind., contributing editor and commentator Russell Shaw predicts that Communion for politicians will be on the agenda. Among other things, he points to Pope Benedict XVI's comments to reporters last spring about similarly situated Mexican politicians, although our Rome bureau chief, John Thavis, who was traveling with the pope at the time, noted that a toned-down transcript issued later by the Vatican muddied the issue.
Shaw's article notes that Chicago Cardinal Francis E. George, currently the bishops' conference vice president, has said that the bishops "are not of one mind in discussing this question." Whether they will be any closer after next week is anyone's guess.

Diabetes is a devastatingly common disease in the U.S., affecting 30 million people, according to the American Diabetes Association.
Every year another 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes, and it's ranked as the seventh-highest cause of death in the United States, though it is often listed as an underlying cause and not the primary factor in a person's death.
One problem perpetuating diabetes' deadly hold on the American population is the number of well-circulated myths people believe about it. The better you understand the truth behind those myths, the better you'll be able to protect yourself and your family members from the complications of developing and living with diabetes.
Which of these myths have you been mistakenly believing?
Myth: All overweight or obese people eventually develop diabetes
Fact: While being overweight is a risk factor for developing diabetes, it does not automatically cause your body to stop producing insulin or become insulin resistant.
The Mayo Clinic explains that a person's chances of developing Type 1 diabetes include a number of factors, including family medical history, environmental factors, the presence of auto-antibodies in the bloodstream, dietary factors and geography. Type 2 diabetes includes similar factors but is more common in people of certain races, women who develop gestational diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome, those with sedentary lifestyles, and people with high blood pressure
Myth: Diabetes is something old people get
Fact: It's true that diabetes is highly prevalent in seniors. The ADA estimates that 25 percent of America's 12 million seniors have diabetes, though a number of them are likely undiagnosed.
However, more people are getting diagnosed with diabetes at younger ages every year. In 2012, there were 371,000 new diagnosed cases of diabetes in adults ages 20-44 and 892,000 new cases from ages 45-64, according to Healthline. That's compared to 400,000 new cases in those 65 and older.
Myth: People who develop diabetes can't have sugary treats
Fact: Those living with diabetes do need to keep careful track of their portion sizes and the amounts of carbohydrates they eat each day, but that doesn't mean they can never indulge in a sweet treat like ice cream or cake.
As long as they're managing their diabetes well and know the calorie content in the sweets they're eating, people with diabetes can eat the occasional dessert as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Myth: Managing your diabetes is all about dieting
Fact: Depending on whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, managing your diabetes involves a number of considerations, including regulating your insulin (if you have Type 1 diabetes), keeping track of your carbohydrate intake, getting regular exercise and learning how your blood sugar fluctuates throughout the day.
Exercise is a key part of controlling Type 2 diabetes. In fact, blood sugar drops after exercise and is lower for the next 24-28 hours, diabetes nutrition specialist Sharon Movsas told health.com. Exercise also helps your body use insulin more efficiently and can lower blood pressure, which is a common concern in those with Type 2 diabetes.

Ha ha. I haven't been on covers for a few months, but I see that garbage never changes. I am 116-2 in my last 118. Is that good? Does anyone want to see me prove it? Send 99 bucks and I will make you rich. Too funny.

They are honored at spring Renaissance rally
Scholar-athlete Eric Bailey was honored as scholar of the year and science teacher Ryan Heber was honored as teacher of the year Monday at the spring Renaissance rally in Mullen gym.
Bailey has a 4.3 GPA and is ranked No. 1 among the 209 graduating seniors.
Bailey plans to study law at the University of California, Davis. He also is a three-sport athlete: right tackle in football, center in basketball, and shot put and discus thrower and sprinter in track. He qualified for Valley three years in a row as a shot putter. He is considering pursuing football or track at Davis.
In January, Bailey received a letter of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation as a commended student in the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program, an honor bestowed on 34,000 U.S. high school seniors, the top 3 percent.
Heber was praised by students for being strong, fair and helpful, always being in a good mood and for getting to know his students. Two months ago, he was nominated by fellow teachers to represent Taft High in the county teacher of the year competition.
The standout science teacher is respected as a teacher adept at establishing good rapport with his students. "I try to create relationships (with students) along the way because it's all we've got. I've always enjoyed my job because I feel like I'm coming to hang out with friends," he said.
The good will he creates with students was especially important on the morning of Jan. 10 when he helped talk an alleged student shooter into setting down his shotgun.
Heber told the packed gym that what he learned from the tragedy is: "I just think people need to be a little nicer to each other."
Afterward, he said, "I was very touched and thankful. It is nice to be honored and especially nice to have my family here to share it with me."
He was surrounded by his wife, Emmy Lou, an accounting analyst in the business office at Taft High; their two sons, Brock, 5, and Ty, 3; his mother,retired Taft High English teacher Carol Sue Heber; and his father David.
Heber is a 1991 TUHS graduate. In high school, he was the ASB president, the football center and a member of the Key Club. This is his ninth year as a teacher, all at Taft High.
Renaissance is a national program promoting academics.
Renaissance students selected the teacher of the year from among nominees made by the student body. The student scholar of the year was a senior who has achieved higher than a 4.0 grade point average during his high school career by taking honors and Advanced Placement classes.
The rally also honored the Top Cats in all four grades who earned higher than a 4.0 GPA. Honor roll students and other students and staff members with positive attitudes were also acknowledged with T-shirts they wore to the rally.

Nicolai unveiled their new Hammerschmidt rival, the B-Boxx, at this weekend's in-house show at their factory in Lubbrechtsen, Germany.
They are keeping details of the planetary gear system, which has been developed in partnership with Bionicon, close to their chest.
But CEO Karlheinz Nicolai told us: "The current prototype of the B-Boxx works great! Super-smooth function, nice design and under-load shifting."
It looks set to be available in a range of colours, but not for at least another year.
"We have to invest huge tooling costs and we have to do a lot of long-term durability testing," said Nicolai. "Because of this, there will be no mass production before winter 2010/2011."
This weekend's show was the fourth time Nicolai had opened their doors to the public. Customers could go on factory tours, have sneak peaks at the latest bikes and technology, and take part in workshops showing them how to maintain and tweak their rides. There was a relaxed atmosphere, with a barbecue and plenty of beer.
Nicolai said that when you buy, or are even interested in buying a Nicolai bike, you become one of the family: "And, of course, we like to look after the family we have created." For more information, visit www.nicolai.net.
