It is a blessing being part of the seminary community. Working as the chapel assistant has given me special experiences in preparing worship services. As a student from Egypt, being at Anderson University SOT has helped me accomplish God's calling on my life as I work with training Christians to share the gospel with Muslims.

While camping in the desert north of Coober Pedy, South Australia, on 8 July 2007, my son and I were privileged to witness a white rainbow at daybreak (see Photo, top right). The landscape was covered in mist and the white rainbow's arc seemed to grow as the sun came up, though it faded away as the mist evaporated. I've asked old swagmen, indigenous locals and several lecturers at two universities, but none has ever witnessed the phenomenon. What caused it?

Former TechStars New York managing director David Tisch told Inc. this year that startups have become too popular, and there are now too many. But he expects the "pendulum" to correct itself at some point. His advice to aspiring founders? Get a job at a startup first. Get experience. Then start a company. Bloomberg
The UpTake: Forbes writer Martin Zwilling could be correct in suggesting that we're in a new era for entrepreneurship, given the popularity of starting and supporting new companies, funding them and taking the best public. But caution, smarts and know-how are needed now more than ever.
I f the frequency with which we're writing about augmented reality, Bitcoin, commercial space travel, marijuana and self-driving cars is any indication of a rising tide of entrepreneurship, then Forbes contributor Martin Zwilling might be right in today's assessment that a new era has begun.
Should these once out-there ideas become viable and potentially mainstream, the software that promises to innovate traditional industries like banking, utilities, government, real estate, retail and construction will be embraced and the companies creating those solutions will be successful.
But what about the startups that aren't innovating in the areas where it's so desperately needed, and what about the dozens of companies that pop up as "me toos"?
Zwilling has plenty of good points about the ease with which a new company can be formed these days, the appetite among investors and corporations to fund or purchase the best new ideas and a revived stock market that's friendlier to IPOs. All of those will likely contribute to more optimism around new company formation—no doubt a good thing.
But plenty of tech leaders have warned of the frothiness that accelerators and incubators and government initiatives targeting startups tend to spark. High-profile investors David Tisch and Esther Dyson, startup guru Steve Blank and Reddit co-founder and serial entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian have each proclaimed the current environment to be bloated with startups. And a year ago, a shocking report predicted 1,000 of them would die in the search for Series A funds.
So it may indeed be the era of opportunity of aspiring founders, but it could also be the era of shattered dreams if the entrepreneurs seizing those opportunities aren't thoughtful, careful and focused on the revenue generation that all companies require to succeed.
So here's to a 2014 of pursuing startup dreams, but only while recognizing the risks and doing everything possible to mitigate them.

Harbor Town
Location: Memphis, TN. Riverfront area of downtown Memphis, next to central business district
Contrary to most development occurring in Memphis in the late 1980s, a Memphis developer wanted to create a vibrant new neighborhood close to downtown that would encourage intermingling and mimic his childhood neighborhood that contained a diverse mix of income, ethnicity, and uses. Despite the many initial challenges of zoning ordinances and buyer perceptions the project faced, the neighborhood is now a highly successful traditional neighborhood development.
The project has taken shape on a formerly barren peninsula surrounded by the Mississippi and Rolf Rivers bordering the central business district of Memphis. Harbor Town is 135 acres and is compact, pedestrian friendly, features a mix of uses, and contains three interconnected districts on a traditional grid system. At the center of the site is a wetlands detention which appears like a stream and ponds which creates natural boundaries between districts. These districts include: 1) a garden district at the center containing a blend of zero-lot line houses, townhomes,and larger detatched units, 2) a village district containing rental apartments and a variety of townhomes, semi-attached homes, and single-family houses, and 3) the harbor district near the south end containing a town square which features a bilingual daycare, a Montessori school, rental apartments over retail, offices, restaurants, a grocery store, a yacht club, inn (still in process), and a marina on the Wolf River.
Housing options within the neighborhood are quite diverse, ranging in size from 1,000 to 6,000 square feet and featuring a wide range of prices and rents that has attracted a diverse mix of families, singles, and couples. The homes and apartments meet a harmonious standard for facades and architectural style which ranges from Charleston side-yard houses to shotgun cottages. Houses have small lots and are all relatively close to the street, thus encouraging the use of the parks incorporated into the neighborhood which are frequently used for community activities. Most homes have front porches, as well, and all main streets end in a park. Alleys in the back make streets more pedestrian friendly, and streetside parking and narrow curb-to-curb distances help calm traffic, adding to the neighborly feel. The neighborhood is also within easy access to the downtown trolleys and bus lines.
The presence of Harbor Town has helped jump-start a dramatic reinvestment in downtown Memphis, which is now well known for its vibrancy and has improved local perception of the downtown experience.Read more at this project's website.

"Independent Study: The Testing Series Book 2" by Joelle Charbonneau (Reviewed by Cindy Hannikman)
2 comments:
- Bibliotropic said...
When I read The Testing, I was struck by 2 things. 1) it was a good book, decently creative with a clear narrative and smoth writing style. 2) Having come after so many other popular dystopian novels and series, it feel like absolutely nothing special, just another good novel in a growing genre of good novels, nothing to really make it stand out from everything else on the shelves.
Had The Testing been written and published before Divergent, for example, I probably would have appreciated it more. It wouldn't have had so many other novels stacked against it, and it might not have come across as Yet Another YA Dystopia. It wasn't bad. It just was so much like half a dozen things I'd already read.
I'm still wondering whether or not I'll read Independent Study. On one hand, I started the series and I do like to finish what I start, if I can. And it's been a while since I've read any dystopian novels, so maybe it won't seem so derivative. And I do have a soft spot for books involving education, for some twisted reason. On the other hand, the first book failed to wow me no matter how much I can admit that there was nothing really wrong with it, and I can't tell how much all my prior experiences are going to colour reading this, if I do.
Maybe some day when I wan a quick read and can't find anything else on my shelves that appeals to me.

I completely agree about The Testing. I felt momentum and that is was alright - there are certainly worse YA dystopian books out there - and it did have a very small, unique twist.
When I reviewed The Testing, I looked at it more as a decent alternative to those looking for other, similar books to Hunger Games. So I wasn't as critical of it as I could have been.
Readers within the target age group tend to stick with what they know and right now dystopian/Hunger Games/Divergent books are what is 'cool', so I think it works for those people. Someone looking for a book that will wow them, keep them talking long into the night, etc.... won't find it with this series.
That isn't to say the author is bad or didn't do what she set out to do, Charbonneau is a good writer, her book is just the average run-of-the-mill dystpian.
I plan on reading the third book, just to see what happens and the books take me maybe 2 days to read. But I won't rush to read it.

Not sure how reliable the source is but Hollywood.com has stated that Garrett will be starring as Dean in On The Road, a book adaption written by Jack Kerouac.
In the early 1950s, an aspiring writer heads out west and meets up with some friends, old and new. Together they experience the road.
How awesome that Garrett is attached to another movie??! Woohoo!
In the meantime, go buy the book!!
Thank you to Haga from the mrhedlund.com Forum!

Do any of you guys know if we have a chance of a good snowfall this year...last year i just got teased and teased lol...lil bit fell nothing good im in the middle of the state near lexington. we havent had a good snowfall in years
I think snowfall for your area will be about average. If you want a forecasted amount, I'll need to know what the average snowfall is.
While snow isn't very common in the heart of SC, It appears to me that the east coast will have a stormy winter, and I personally believe you will recieve above average preciptiation. As for temps, I am not as confident, but average temps looks ok for now.
SC will have above avergae snowfall, or shall i say ice, and below average temperatures.What's wrong with the people who updated the almanac? They lost hecka users...

I guess you've grown to it, lol.
Actually, I'm staying as a moderator of the trinity for some reason... lol, I liked the sound of it too
I would've missed it if it weren't for your 4,999th post being in the HWA thread, lol.
Kash: Black Ninja Moderator... I like the sound of that.
You've been waiting a while to do that, eh?
I can't put a link to another site, dude. Put it in your sig when the month is up or something. Soz, buddy.
But hey, while I'm here annoying you with notifications, I might as well do something useful with it.
Not sure if Eddie told you this, but could we add a link to the HWA sticky thread?
HWA.com: keep track of all the latest news in HWA
Never mind, I'm an idiot. I just found the option at the bottom of sending messages where it says "Save Message in Sent Items" and it was unchecked.
Hey Kash, is there anything different about my inbox settings? I tried to send Romes a PM about the HOf, and then it wasn't in my sent messages, so I sent it again, and it still wasn't in there.
Will it still go through, or is something wrong?
Half of those were probably me as a guest seeing if you were finished yet, lol.

When it comes to life, do you rise to the challenge or let situations get the better of you? On a day to day basis do you have a positive or negative outlook on life and everything that it chooses to throw your way? Life can be challenging at times, there's absolutely no doubting that whatsoever. How you choose to deal with it is completely in your own hands.
There's a lot to be said for having a positive outlook on life. Achieving this state of mind however, is sometimes a completely different situation. From an exercise point of view, the emphasis on positive mental attitude is massively underappreciated and misunderstood. Have you ever been in the gym and thought about lifting a certain weight and then stopped and talked yourself out of it? It could be your mind and not your body that is stopping you from achieving a new personal best or reaching that level of excellence.
Positive mental attitude is important in an array of situations; sporting excellence is just one of them. It can take you to a place you've never been before and have you experiencing feelings and emotions which you've never felt before. What's more, it's contagious and will continue to develop both within and between individuals you choose to spend time with. So how can you achieve this desirable state of mind? This article aims to find out just that:
To kick us off and get us started, it's important to recognise and appreciate where your negative thought processes initiate from. If this doesn't occur then you can become trapped in a vicious cycle and these thoughts can start to overtake your life. Take time to think where these negative thoughts stem from and any patterns that emerge.
Keeping thoughts and emotions bottled up is the worst thing you can possibly do. Confide in a family member or friend and let it all out. Simply by expressing yourself in this manner you're allowing these negative emotions to leave your mind. Not only that, but you might find new perspective and rationale following this release.
Once you've identified your negative source and expressed your feelings, you are now in a position to be able to deal with this. Tell yourself that you will remain positive and seek to always find positives in your given scenario rather than focusing on the negatives. For example, I will recover from my injury and return stronger than ever.
After you've been forcing yourself to be positive for a while, allow yourself to consciously appreciate this shift and how it is working for you. Not only will in give you further control, but simply by contemplating this shift in attitude should further develop positive thoughts and feelings. Keep moving forwards and aiming high.
Your negative thought processing didn't develop overnight, nor is it likely to disappear overnight either. Put all this positivity into action and begin to introduce it to all of life's stresses and strains. Eventually this forward way of thinking will begin to become second nature and your sub conscious will start to take over. Treat this shift as a journey.
So there you have a step by step process to alter your mindset and begin to significantly enhance your positive mental attitude levels. Remember there is no quick fix or easy answer and this mindset shift will take time. Whether you apply it to your work, family or social life, why not make the conscious decision to do something today and reap the rewards tomorrow

I remember the day well. I was working non-stop for a start-up company at the time. I often traveled week after week and barely had even settled into my new home in downtown Philadelphia. I was on a path with my career and nothing could stop me. The phone could ring at any hour of the day or night and I would jump for it. My family and friends had become relatively non-existant in my life as I constantly cancelled plans or turned down invitations due to work obligations. The day had been a particularly draining one and it was nearing 8pm and I was just getting home on a Friday night. I walked over to my local coffee shop, Good Karma Cafe, and up on the wall I saw it. This painting, the one I have featured above.
I was so taken. It was like the visual was crying out to me. These young children on the hood of the car were taking a moment, sitting back and enjoying just being with each other. They were soaking up the outdoors and living life. It made me take pause. When had I last done this? Could I even remember?
At that moment I knew I needed to have this painting. But more than that, I knew I needed to make a change. It was like the sky had opened up and poured down upon me the revelation that there was a lot more to life than climbing up the corporate ladder and/or making lots of money. What good was all of it if I didn't live my life? And moreover, what about not having anyone to share my life with?
I ended up finding out the artist was a local guy from Philadelphia named Adam Cohen. The coffee shop owner gave me his number and that was that. I called him and met him and got the painting. But there was so much more I knew I needed to do. I knew that I needed to figure out how to change my life so that I could soak up those moments that really matter and surround myself with my loved ones. I am proud to say, I was able to do this. I made some really drastic and dramatic changes to my life and now I am happily married and expecting my first baby. It seems like the former me is almost like a dream. I can't even imagine going back to the shell of a person I was at that time.
So I as you, have you taken the time to define what really matters to you? Are you living your life in a way that you are honoring that? I hope you will. I also hope you will take away from my story that it isn't too late. If you realize you are off course, make a shift. Chart your course back to what really matters for you in your life. Time is precious.

Burger King's McRib alternative the BK Rib debuting on Summer menu
Burger King is going to war with McDonald's once again, and this time it's doing it with pork. At least they call it pork. Who really knows with these things? The fast food chain is set to announce the limited time only introduction of their new pork sandwich, the BK Rib.
The sandwich seems very similar to another fast food pork sandwich, the McRib. McDonald's has created a very profitable product in the McRib based on simply marketing it as a "limited time" option, with McRib season rolling around at random intervals.
Burger King will offer their sandwich beginning May 21, running through the summer. Then they will take another cue from McDonald's and it will disappear from stores. Other Summer additions to the Burger King menu, according to USA Today, include a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, a line of Carolina BBQ sandwiches, a BBQ chicken salad and a selection of desserts based around Oreos.
Whether the BK Rib can unseat the McRib as the most prominent fast food pork sandwich remains to be seen, but McDonald's has cultivated a very loyal audience for their product. So far, no word on when the McRib will make its next appearance. However, the Golden Arches have announced three new additions to their Quarter Pounder menu.

About Molyneux

Recently I was tasked with creating a report that needed to have a product hierarchy occupy only one field. The hierarchy I will use as an example is comprised of three fields: Manufacturer, Category, and Model. And the output of my stored procedure is as shown below.
Now, when you create row groups for Manufacturer, Category, and Model and then preview your report, it will look something like this.
The problem with this is that the client wants those first three columns to only take up one column... No longer a problem. Here's all you have to do. Right-click on the field that's farthest to the right that belongs in the hierarchy (in this case, "Model") and the select "Insert Row" and then "Outside Group - Above".
Then, when you have the new row created above the "Model" cell, insert the name of the next-to-last group in the hierarchy ("Category") into the cell directly above.
Repeat these steps for as many columns as you want to combine. Once you have them all stacked into one column, delete the surplus columns.
It is a good idea to add some padding so that you can identify the different levels of the hierarchy (you will set this in the Properties, under "Padding")
So now, when you preview your report, it will look something like this:
Of course there are a lot more cosmetic changes that you can make and even subtotals by each group.
Hopefully this helps!
Wish I would have found this earlier. I ended spending 30 minutes trying to figure out how to do this last week.
Thank you for your post, works very well BUT if the value of the category or model is null then you will see a blank space between rows. I tried to use the =IIF(Fields!txtData2.Value IS NOTHING, True, False) but that does not work either.
Is there anyway I can fix it?
I personally would deal with that at the stored procedure level. If the value is null, either set it as 'Unknown', otherwise just return the value.
If this layout is not an intial design requirement, this is an excellent way to get the layout as you want. If you know you want this ahead of time, add your groups with headers and then stack the group names and use padding as you suggest.
I have had a lot of issues deleting columns resulting in permanently killing the RepeatOnNewPage = True setting for the column headers. You can set it but it no longer works. What is your experience with the process above affecting repeating column headers? When I stack the group names in this way, I do not delete the columns that were added by the group, I just physically collapse them to nothing so I don't mess up the repeating column headers.
Great blog, thanks.

BOISE, Idaho - The Boise State softball team suffered its first WAC series sweep of the season with a pair of losses to Hawaii, 9-5 and 12-1. The Rainbow Wahine (33-11, 11-0) slugged 11 homers in the two games to defeat the host Broncos (15-25, 4-5). The Broncos slugged three homers of their own in the losses.
Game 1
The Rainbow Wahine again slugged their way to an early 5-0 lead with three home runs in the first two innings. After a scoreless third, the Wahine put up three more runs to go up 8-0 in the top of the fourth.
The Broncos bats came to life in the bottom of the third with three consecutive hits from Kellie Caplan, Jessi Hanna and Kathy Cox. However, the bases were left loaded to end the inning. The Broncos finally got on the board with a solo homer off the bat of Kelly Sweeney in the bottom of the fourth to avoid the shutout. Ashley Collier shut out the Wahine in the top of the fifth to avoid the run-rule and set up more from the Bronco bats.
The Broncos continued to fight as Tazz Weatherly, Caplan and Hanna strung together three more hits to load the bases with no outs this time. Vanessa Alvarez smashed a hit up the middle to score Weatherly and close the gap to 8-2. Christina Capobianco brought in another run as Caplan scored on her groundout.
The Wahine used another solo shot in the seventh to pad their lead to 9-3. The Broncos weren't done yet as they put up two more in the seventh but fell short of a comeback. Kathy Cox stroked her 15th homer of the year to plate herself and Caplan to cut the lead to 9-5, but that would be as close as the Broncos would get.
Caplan, Hanna and Cox went 7-for -11 in the game at the top of the lineup, led by Caplan's three-hit game.
Game 2
The Wahine used a six-run fifth to put away the Broncos in the nightcap as they took the game in run-rule fashion, 12-1. The Broncos committed two costly errors in the game that led to seven Wahine runs.
Ashley Collier started the game in the circle and shut down the Wahine in the first inning, but ran into trouble in the second as Alex Aguirre gave the Wahine a 2-0 lead with a two-run home run.
Christina Capobianco then led off the bottom of the inning with a solo home run that was lasered over the left center field fence. The homer cut the lead in half but it wouldn't last for long as the Wahine put up two runs in the third and two more in the fourth before their six run explosion in the fifth.
Caplan collected two of the Broncos three hits in the game to add to her career-day. She finished 5-for-6 in the doubleheader and 6-for-9 in the series.
The Broncos hit the road on Tuesday for a doubleheader with in-state rival, Idaho State, in Pocatello at 2 p.m. They return home next weekend for a three-game series with Utah State on Friday and Saturday.

THE solar system is littered with millions of asteroids, but only a few can be profitably mined for valuable metals and water using current technology. That is the conclusion of a new analysis inspired by the search for life on other planets.
Recent years have seen two US companies, Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries, established with the intent of one day mining space rocks. NASA also has asteroid ambitions, with a plan to drag one into lunar orbit for astronauts to study.
"People tend to lump it all together and say 'Oh, there's trillions of dollars of resources up in space'," says Martin Elvis of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But it is still unclear which rocks will make the best targets.
To tackle the problem, Elvis adapted a tool used to study another cosmic puzzle: the Drake equation, used in the hunt for alien life. Dreamed up in 1961 by astronomer Frank Drake, the equation provides an estimate of the number of detectable alien civilisations in the Milky Way. You just need to plug in realistic guesses for the equations' various factors.
Elvis's equation – shown above and detailed in an upcoming edition of Planetary and Space Science – works in a similar way. It calculates the number of mineable asteroids for a given resource by combining key factors: the asteroid's type, its richness in resources, and the practical limitations to mining it.
First up is the asteroid's type, which determines composition. Based on previous surveys, Elvis estimates that 4 per cent of space rocks are the right type to contain platinum and similarly valuable metals. Of these, he says, half will have a rich enough concentration of metal to be worth mining.
Of course, companies have to reach an asteroid to mine it. The limiting factor is the energy needed to get to an asteroid with enough mining equipment and return with the mined ore, meaning only 2.5 per cent of asteroids are accessible from Earth.
The rock must also be large enough to justify the mining expedition in the first place, so Elvis considers the fraction of asteroids larger than 100 metres in diameter, which if fully mined for platinum would be worth a little over a billion dollars at current market prices.
Putting this all together, Elvis says there are only 10 asteroids worth mining for platinum, and 18 for water for future space colonies. Engineering difficulties could make these numbers even lower. Asteroid miners should be cautious in evaluating their plans, Elvis says, as the true value could turn out to be zero.
The new approach addresses an important question, says Daniel Garcia Yarnoz at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK, though it is difficult to know the real numbers. "It relies greatly on assumptions on various factors, in particular the probability that the asteroid is resource-rich."

THE management committee has orde-red Copac to rewrite its report on the Second All Stakeholders' Conference after it reportedly once again failed to capture important submissions. Irked by the wishy-washy job, the management committee last Thursday ordered Copac co-chairpersons to "go back and do a proper report".
The co-chairpersons had taken the report to the management committee for guidance.
"The report wasn't complete, so they are retuning and refining it," said Constitutional and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Eric Matinenga.
"There are certain aspects which they need to revisit. They will bring it back on Monday."
Management committee member Cde Patrick Chinamasa (Zanu-PF) concurred with Minister Matinenga that the document was returned because Copac left out critical issues raised during the conference.
"They left out background information of the second stakeholders' conference and the address given to the conference by the President among others issues. On the whole, they fulfilled their mandate," he said.
Copac co-chairperson Mr Douglas Mwonzora also confirmed the development.
"We are implementing the suggestions and we will present the report on Monday (today)," he said.
"They want us to include explanatory notes of the meaning of various figures because they are mainly based on frequency.
"There is, therefore, need for explanations to that.
"The management committee also wants us to include the narrative that was given by co-chairpersons at the conference."
Mr Mwonzora said after the management committee endorses the report, they would proceed to do a comprehensive analysis of the submissions at the conference.
The management committee, he said, would give Copac guidance on how they should proceed.
He said Copac had its own way of doing it, but would stand guided by the management committee.

I was playing a CTI earlier and I purchased a few M1A1s from the base and told it to move up to the front lines.
Most of them made the trip no problem but some of them seemed to not want to move at all when looking at them on the map.
So I decided to see why they weren't moving...turns out they just randomly flipped over unto their turrets for no apparent reason.
No rocks in site or anything I don't understand.
Does anyone know why they flip over?

The X Factor
Did X Factor's Tara Simon Sabotage Jennel Garcia With Their Bootcamp Battle Song Choice?
In The X Factor Season, 2 Episode 8, the second day of bootcamp pit two huge talents against one another: Jennel Garcia and Tara Simon. The two singers debated which kind of song to perform — big and showy, or soft and subtle — ultimately deciding on the quiet, yet sentimental "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac.
But it seemed like Tara took the opportunity to show off her voice to the judges nevertheless, while Jennel struggled to make the song her own.
So it must be asked: Did Tara intentionally choose a song she could outperform or can Tara just not help herself? Weigh in below!

Freezing rain expected to worsen in Arkansas
Posted: March 2, 2014 at 4:34 p.m.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK — Forecasters are warning that significant amounts of freezing rain could accumulate in portions of Arkansas, Missouri and western Tennessee through the afternoon and early evening.
Temperatures at freezing or below were pushing southward into more of Arkansas during Sunday afternoon. As a result, rain occurring in most of central and northern Arkansas will change over to freezing rain the rest of the day.
Freezing rain could fall at a rate of two-tenths to a quarter-inch per hour, for about an hour.
Thunderstorms were occurring in parts of the state, producing bursts of "thundersleet."
Entergy Arkansas said more than 2,000 customers had lost power for a time Sunday, but it wasn't immediately known if all were weather-related.
