The Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders took place from April 5-12, 2014. Fourteen activists from Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, East Timor and Colombia gathered at the Isis International Women's House in Quezon City, Philippines.
The theme for day 1 was 'Introducing Self-Reflexivity'. It began with participants sharing their expectations and objectives for the Activist School. These were presented as clouds above a tree filled with the apples, or contributions, each participant offered to the training.
The theme continued by exploring the need to sustain ourselves as activists from within. In the first module, participants were introduced to journaling as a tool for self-reflexivity. Developing these tools is a way of building the inner resourcefulness needed as activists and women human rights defenders.
Day 2 of the Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders began with an opportunity for the participants to get to know one another and the work they do as activists in their own countries. Participants interviewed each other using open and clean questions.
The day was focused on developing feminist frameworks of analysis. This included questioning our understanding of gender and sex, and interrogating expectations based on gender. This lead to challenging conversations about sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. The participants explored what changes in gender roles have occurred in recent times, and whether these have been positive, sufficient and widespread, and what factors have effected these changes.
Peer groups were a daily feature of the Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders from day 3. Participants met with others working in similar advocacy areas such as issues related to gender based violence, conflict and post conflict issues, and cultural and economic rights. The peer groups were a forum to deepen conversations from the previous day. On this morning, the peer groups developed their visions of positive gender roles that would enable people to contribute to their full potential.
To bring about positive change activists and women human rights defenders challenge established ways of being and seeing the world. How do we break down dominant discourses to understand what is being said, who is being positioned and how, who the audience is and what the consequences are?
Day 4 of the Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders was spent developing our sensitivity to language with discourse analysis and positioning theory. How can this help us in practice to frame and reframe our own advocacy campaigns to be more positive and effective? We looked at the case study of the Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines, before analyzing and developing campaigns from our own contexts.
Day 5 of the Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders began with each participant presenting their analysis of discourses and advocacy campaigns from their contexts using positioning theory.
Based on the research Isis conducted on feminist critical collaborations, we looked at practical strategies to build alliances in non-unified global feminist movements. A common commitment to freedom for all who experience oppression can allow us to develop cross movement alliances. Participants identified alliances and strategies that could be used in the advocacy campaigns they had analysed.
The afternoon was spent examining how women human rights defenders might strengthen their advocacy by developing social media advocacy campaigns. Participants mapped their personal social media use and looked at how social media has been used for organising.
On day 6 of the Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders we looked at the legal and political framework for WHRDs, their safety and security. We focused on understanding our rights and risks as women human rights defenders. To what extent should we assume risks as activists? How important is the well being of the human rights defender themselves?
Participants also looked at enhancing their protection and personal security. There was an interesting discussion about whether being women human rights defenders made them inherently vulnerable. They then assessed risk in their own contexts by evaluating threats and vulnerabilities against their capacities.
On the final day of the Activist School for Women Human Rights Defenders, the participants used Open Space Technology as a means of surfacing issues that they wanted to further discuss around the theme 'Moving forward with self|advocacy|movement'.
They brought their skills, knowledge and experiences as activists and women human rights defenders with what they had explored over the course of the Activist School.
And so the Activist School culminated with dynamic discussions developed and conducted by the participants themselves on issues including:
- the advocacy of sex workers rights in different contexts in Asia
- sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and LGBTI rights activism
- the language of rights and the language of development in the Asian context
- developing a movement of young women against sexual violence in the Asian context
- the most effective ways to encourage women to participate in the women's movement in the future
- how to build the trust within the alliance that we have built for stronger/effective advocacy.

Chelsea Transfer Rumors: Latest News on Players Leaving Stamford BridgeJune 12, 2012
Chelsea's victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final came after two crucial goals were scored by striker Didier Drogba.
However, these goals served a dual purpose. In addition to sealing the title for the Blues, Drogba's goals also turned out to be part of a farewell act, as the striker is set to move on after eight years with the club.
But Drogba is not the only member of Chelsea who could be leaving Stamford Bridge.
Here is some of the latest news involving players leaving the club.
In an article found on the online edition of The Daily Mirror, former Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou is being targeted by both Schalke and Liverpool. Kalou played in 16 games during the 2011-2012 season, and scored five goals.
The Daily Mail has also named Newcastle as a potential destination for Kalou.
Daniel Sturridge has emerged as a possible target of Manchester City, according to Wayne Veysey on Goal.com. The 22-year-old scored 13 goals for Chelsea, but was left off of England's roster for Euro 2012.
The Daily Mirror has also written about Liverpool as a potential landing spot for Sturridge. If Roberto Di Matteo returns as manager, Sturridge could end up leaving to replace Dirk Kuyt.
In addition to Drogba and Kalou on the club's free transfer list, defender Jose Bosingwa is also expected to leave the club according to ESPN.com.
An article on The Daily Mail's website on June 4 reported that Juventus and rival Torino could be interested.
Both Kalou and Bosingwa started in the Champions League final match. Eden Hazard and Marko Marin have recently been signed by the Blues.
Besides Drogba, whose next destination is still unknown, an article on The Guardian's website in May wrote that it is no guarantee that Florent Malouda and Michael Essien will return.

Tiger Woods still perfect in '08 after 8-and-7 World Match Play mauling of Stewart Cink
The WGC Accenture Match Play Championship win moved Tiger Woods into fourth place in all-time PGA Tour victories with 63, marked his sixth straight win overall and perhaps most tellingly, had him openly talking about his drive for a perfect season in 2008 - a goal he'd left unspoken before. "That's my intent," Woods said of the prospect of going without a single loss in 2008.

Doctor had clients in 'all kinds' of sports
THE Spanish doctor accused of masterminding one of sport's most notorious doping scandals admitted in court that his client list included athletes from "all kinds" of sports.
Dr Eufemanio Fuentes (57) told the Madrid court he worked on a private basis with athletes outside of cycling, the sport that was heavily implicated in the Operation Puerto investigation by Spanish police.
"I worked with cyclists, but also footballers, boxers, tennis players and athletes," said Fuentes, who told the court he was helping athletes deal with anemia issues rather than performance-enhancing doping and at one stage said the EPO hormone-boosting supplement police found when they raided his premises in 2006 was part of his daughter's cancer treatment.
The first to be called to the stand in a case that has taken almost seven years to come to trial, Dr Fuentes detailed the procedures he administered to athletes and insisted they posed no risk to their health.
He and four others are accused of involvement in the widespread doping of professional cyclists, but are charged with breaking public health laws rather than incitement to doping, which was not a crime in Spain until late 2006.
The judge in the case ruled that data found by police, and suspected to prove his links to sportsmen outside of cycling, is not admissable, due to breaches of privacy.
Police raids on premises linked to Fuentes in May 2006 saw the seizure of some 200 bags of tampered blood labelled with a complex system of codes and and a virtual pharmacy of performance-enhancing substances, including EPO, human growth hormone, steroids and testosterone.
The Worldwide Anti Doping Agency is demanding access to the blood bags so they can carry out DNA testing in an effort to trace the athletes involved. The court has given them three days to make a formal request. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

You would think that sustainable seafood is a focus on Martha's Vineyard but it isn't, at least not to the extent it should be. Some restaurants, more than a few in fact, offer a sustainable choice or two but there are few if any as dedicated to sustainable seafood as The Home Port restaurant in the sleepy little fishing village of Menemsha located on the lower west side of this triangle shaped island. Don't get me wrong, there are good restaurants on the island and some of them offer a sustainable seafood choice or two but none have integrated sustainable seafood into the operation in a manner that even comes close to The Home Port.
The Home Port Restaurant Back Deck, Menemsha, MA
The Home Port is an institution. In business since 1930, it's a beloved landmark and family dining destination. Situated just on the eastern side of Menemsha harbor The Home Port faces south west offering deck side diners a view of one of the nicest sunsets on the east coast. My first visit here was twenty years ago and nothing about the restaurant has changed….except the menu.
Dining Room with Blue Glasses
I arrive in a group of four and a smiling college-age server leads us over to a table along the far wall along a bank of windows. She takes a quick beverage order (The Home Port is BYOB) and departs for a few seconds while we settle in. The sun is hanging low over the horizon painting the interior of the restaurant in light orange and yellow. Tables are hard pine and maple as are the walls and trim that compliment solid wooden chairs with just the right patina for a restaurant this old. The flatware and china are simple and you won't find table linens or cloth napkins here. This is the type of place where, when eating a lobster, you wear a goofy plastic bib printed with a step-by-step set of instructions for how to eat it (you know the one). No pretension here. Dozens of fish, well preserved by a taxidermist, line an entire wooden wall. It's such a wonderful, bright, warm and inviting dining room and I love being here.
Customers Under Taxidermied Fish
For years the Mayhew family (a Vineyard institution in and of themselves) ran The Home Port. More recently, for 32 years until 2009 to be precise, Will Holtham owned and operated the restaurant. Holtham, author of the just released Home Port Cookbook, decided to sell in 2009 and the Town of Chilmark proposed purchasing it for cool $2,000,000 so they could demolish it in the name of progress…a parking lot and public bathrooms. Enter a counter offer from Bob and Sara Nixon, owners of the Menesha and Beach Plum Inns. After a quick vote by the residents of the Town of Chilmark, the Nixon's saved The Home Port and Holtham was on his way into retirement, cash, recipes and cookbook deal in hand.
Oysters on the Back Deck
After becoming involved with the local Fisherman's Association Sara announced on May 27th, 2011 that The Home Port would only serve locally caught fish. By locally caught, she means fish that are caught in the coastal waters surrounding the island and landed on local docks. I love it (go Sarah)! No one on the island is as deeply committed to sustainable seafood as Sarah and Bob and they changed their business model to prove it. This is why I am here.
Server With Specials
My server is back and she presents the table with a medium sized chalk board that lists all the specials for the evening. The Cherry Stones and Little Necks are from Menemsha (delicious), the Oysters are from Katama (exquisite), the Fluke, Bluefish and Squid are from Menemsha too. I order the bluefish with creamed corn just to give it a shot. To my delight, the fish is absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Bluefish is great but is has to be perfectly fresh, the fish has no shelf life. It's best when seared or broiled hot with the skin intact, scales removed, since the flesh cooks quickly and falls apart easily. My fish had the skin intact, was crispy on the top and moist in the middle. Most people think of bluefish as a trash fish but when served correctly like this, it's wonderful. I also have a taste of the local fluke and, although presented
simply (almost too simply) it too is perfectly cooked and well seasoned if not a bit ugly.
Blue Fish Looking at You
As I said before, The Home Port serves simple food. You won't find the latest culinary trend or the most outrageous presentations in the world but you will find good and, better yet, local fish served properly cooked and well seasoned. Arrive just before sunset, sit on the back deck, bring your own booze and order one of the local sustainable seafood items. Enjoy!

Mark Schaefer thinks it is. Quite frankly, I think it's been ugly for a long time.
The practices described by Mark at WebProNew, fake comments and the like, have been going on for as long as I can remember. They've been going on in blogs ever since SEOs have discovered that blogs are good SEO tools. Before that, forum comments were all the rage. In fact, today, the gray hat SEOs will hire people to write fake blog and forum comments that work together.
It's a seedy practice, no doubt. And there is an ethical fine line. I mean, if a professional blogger likes your comment and tries to e-mail you with a response or to solicit a deeper relationship, that can lead to a real ugly scenario real fast. Do you respond as if you are a real person and lead them on, or do you come clean and tell them you are a fake? Either way, you lose. And so do they.
That's not to say that all SEOs are bad people, nor that all SEOs are shady characters. Most are doing a good job. But I'd like to draw your attention to one of Mark's comments:
This is a slippery slope that will lead to regulation. All it will take is one high-profile case that blows the lid off these practices. And we will all lose if we have to endure new rules and the cost of compliance.
I can feel Marks' anguish. And he's right. All it will take is one high profile case, a client who hires an SEO firm in good faith only to be made to look like a fool when the news breaks that thousands of blog and forum comments were fake. The only question is, Which Fortune 500 company will it affect, which industry? When it happens, it will affect all of us. What will the SEOs say then?

I must have missed that press release at E3.
Unfortunately I had the ending to Lars von Triers' Willem Dafoe starring shocker ANTICHRIST spoiled for me thanks to a headline at Drudge Report (not unlike the ending to INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, which makes me wonder why I even read Matt Drudge any more), but even without that climactic knowledge I'd certainly be expecting a lightening strike of a movie solely on the track record of the director and the trailer itself.
However, I would, in the incredulous words of Kanye West, never-ever (never-ever?) expect a video game to be made based on a film from the minimalist Danish provocateur. Quite against instinct it seems that just that has happened; then again going against instinct is kind of Von Trier's critic baiting bag.
MTV's Multiplayer blog has an interview up with Morten Iversen, once a writer for the HITMAN series, who is now working directly for von Triers in which Iversen explains that a 'download only' game based on ANTICHRIST is moving ahead for release likely some time next year and targeted for an Xbox Live or Steam platform. Considering the game, sporting the ANTICHRIST divergent title of EDEN, only has 4 people working on it right now, the chance of a wide release even in the next two years is slim, but practicality aside the idea of a "nightmarish version of Myst" is too appealing to ignore.
I must admit I'm warming to the idea of some more buzzed about horror film properties banging out game titles. I, along with everyone else sitting at a keyboard, laughed at the idea of SAW game, but I think Konami proved at this year's E3 that the idea has more worth exploring than the mock heavy crowds may have initially assumed. One should only hope that a film talent as esoteric as Lars von Trier, who MTV references as being a stalwart fan of ALONE IN THE DARK, would throw his considerable artistic weight behind the simulated freak outs of a CGI Willem Dafoe.
From what I've read, ANTICHRIST is the film equivalent of telling Google Images to not moderate your search results. To be honest, I'm kind of afraid as to what exactly von Trier is going to push a user to simulate. If the scissors are in our hands…
Tags: Antichrist, Antichrist Game, Eden, Lars von triet, Morten Iversen
Man, I read what you said about Antichrist and went looking for it. I guess there aren't subs for it yet?
Heck, I don't know what language it's in, I just thought it was foreign. I just know I can't find it yet.
Download only? Only four guys working on the game? A writer for hitman (Hitman 1: A bald dude who's a clone sneaks around and kills shit. Hitman 2: He does it again!)?
I hate to sound like a buzzkill, but unless those four guys are Gabe Newell, John Carmack, Hideo Kojima and Theodore Roosevelt this is the recipe for suck.

2002 Double Up Soul Series 140
The Soul Series is designed with the traditional Double Up rounded tip and tail for smooth driving carves and a clean release from the wake. A continuous rocker along the board's edge provides a smotoh and fast ride, while a three stage rocker at the board's center line delivers a huge pop off the wake. The "V" shaped bottom and contoured rails make landings soft and the Soul Series very forgiving boards. The foot-bed is canted and con-caved for comfort and quick edge to edge response.

I think it is a overall good board but it is missing 1 thing it needs more tracking, there is only a little on both sides . It was my first board but I think it is a good beginner board. The only thing wrong is the tracking.

First board I owned,I have riden plenty of others since. Reaally slidy!! Great board for learning to slide on the top of the wake or for reverse slides. Tracking not very direct. Needs more pop!
Wouldn't recommend for beginner,not stable enough.Great fun board for 180 or 360 slides.

From the Mouths of BabesPosted by Howard County Library System on Feb 28, 2013 in Health, Parenting | Comments Off on From the Mouths of Babes
February is/was National Children's Dental Health Month. We've seen some preschoolers and kindergarteners in HCLS walking around with materials from school promoting the importance of taking care of one's choppers. But honestly, couldn't we all use a little refresher? And, as Dr. Damian Blum, DMD discussed at the East Columbia Branch last month, dental health can affect overall health.
The Mayo Clinic reports that harmful bacteria can sometimes grow out of control and cause oral infections; some dental procedures and medications can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in your mouth and may make it easier for bacteria to enter your bloodstream. They also report that "your oral health may affect, be affected by or contribute to various diseases and conditions, including:
- Endocarditis—gum disease and dental procedures that cut your gums may allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream…. [which] can cause infection in other parts of the body—such as an infection of the inner lining of the heart.
- Cardiovascular disease—some research suggests that heart disease, clogged arteries and stroke may be linked to oral bacteria, possibly due to…a severe form of gum disease.
- Pregnancy and birth—gum disease has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight.
- Diabetes–reduces the body's resistance to infection—putting the gums at risk. In addition…[diabetics] may develop more-frequent and severe infections of the gums and the bone that holds teeth in place, and they may lose more teeth….
- HIV/AIDS—oral problems, such as painful mucosal lesions, are common in people who have HIV/AIDS.
- Osteoporosis—may be associated with periodontal bone loss and tooth loss.
- Alzheimer's disease–tooth loss before age 35 may be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.
- Other conditions—may be linked to oral health include Sjogren's syndrome—an immune system disorder—and eating disorders.
That's some pretty scary stuff. So it doesn't hurt for all of us to take a step back and think about our oral healthcare, much like our little ones have been encouraged to do all February. Let's review some pointers that all kids and adults should remember about maintaining good dental health. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Institute, here are the most basic steps, from MedlinePlus, to a healthy mouth and teeth:
- Brush your teeth every day with a fluoride toothpaste
- Clean between your teeth every day with floss or another type of between-the-teeth cleaner
- Snack smart – limit sugary snacks
- Don't smoke or chew tobacco
- See your dentist or oral health professional regularly
See, the steps are not really a big deal, and you don't have to go alone. Did you know HCLS has books to help encourage/teach about oral healthcare, and databases(http://www.hclibrary.org/index.php?page=497#health) that can help you locate a doctor or dentist and evaluations of area practitioners?

Dan Cuomo joins the show to share his thoughts, wisdom and experience playing rock drums, getting signed to a major label (40 Records) and touring Europe, and then deciding what's next. Today you will find Dan playing modern worship drums in churches all over the DC/MD/VA area.
I hold Dan up as an example of exactly the kind of drummer you should see in your local church. By Dan's own admission, he isn't a technical drummer – which is precisely the point: you don't need a technically trained jazz fusion drummer with intricate grooves and insane chops to sound great. Rarely do I see a situation where I think a musician needs more skills / more chops for the band or song to sound better. Rather, I often think a musician needs to better understand the essentials of what needs to be played, and needs to understand their role with respect to keeping time and creating space. Dan is your encouragement that you don't need better players, you just need to find folks willing to play less and listen more in order to serve the song.
He must become greater; I must become less. John 3:30

Swisher County Man Faces up to Life in Prison for Kidnapping Former Girlfriend
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 28, 2009
AMARILLO, TX—Ronnie Joe Stowers, 58, of Tulia, Texas, has pleaded guilty to kidnapping his former girlfriend and taking her by force from Castro County, Texas to New Mexico, announced U.S. Attorney James T. Jacks of the Northern District of Texas. Stowers entered his guilty plea to one count of kidnapping before U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson and is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Robinson on February 12, 2010. He faces a maximum statutory sentence of life in prison.
Stowers admitted that on October 27, 2009, he kidnapped L.A.S. and transported her from Texas to New Mexico for the purpose of terrorizing her.
According to plea documents filed in the case, at approximately 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday, October 27, 2009, a 54 year-old female resident of Castro County, Texas, identified by her initials as L.A.S., was outside her home taking care of some animals when she noticed a pickup truck near her residence, which she suspected was driven by her ex-boyfriend, Ronnie Joe Stowers. She called the Castro County Sheriff's Office, then got into her car and drove toward the suspicious vehicle to verify who the driver was. The truck turned around and started driving toward her so she turned her car around and started driving back toward her residence. The suspect vehicle rammed her car, forcing her off the road. At this point, the Sheriff's Office called her and heard screams for help. Stowers got out of his vehicle, walked to her car with a shotgun, and drug her out of her car, threatening to kill her. He hit her in the face, forced her into his truck, and drove west.
A short time later, while still in Castro County, the woman jumped from Stowers' moving pickup onto the ground. A passing motorist saw her jump out of the pickup, and according to the motorist's statement, the motorist stopped and backed up to help her. The motorist observed that the woman was trying to stand up but was hurt and could not stand. The motorist then noticed that the driver of the pickup, Stowers, was standing at the rear of his pickup and was pointing a shotgun at the motorist. The motorist drove away and called 911.
Stowers forced L.A.S. back into his pickup and drove off again. Once again, she jumped from the pickup and Stowers again forced her back in his truck. He told her that if she tried to escape again, he would kill her.
Stowers drove the back roads from Castro County into Parmer County and into the New Mexico near Clovis. From there, Stowers drove north toward Tucumcari, where he decided he needed to get gas. He stopped in a deserted area, removed the woman from his pickup, and tied her up, telling her that he would return after he got gas. Stowers did return a short time later and forced the woman back into his pickup. He then drove west on I-40 to Moriarty, New Mexico, and then turned south. He drove her almost to Lovington, New Mexico, where he turned off on a dirt road and stopped. Stowers sat there talking to the woman for about three hours.
Just before daybreak on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, Stowers drove approximately one mile to another road and parked again. He gave L.A.S. his cell phone, took his shotgun, got out of his pickup, and instructed her to drive away and call 911. As she drove away, she heard a shot and saw Stowers fall to the ground. She called 911 and authorities from Lea County, New Mexico, responded and located Stowers with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
One of Stowers' relatives contacted the Castro County Sheriff's Office and reported that Stowers had called him during the ordeal and admitted he had "messed up" and taken the woman.
The case was investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Drake of the Amarillo, Texas U.S. Attorney's Office.

Prague (May. 13)
Hardly one hundred Jews remain in this city, which had a pre-war Jewish population of 80,000, a Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent was told today by a young Czech Jewish cameraman he encountered while the latter was photographing the debris left by the last-minute battle between Czech patriots and the Germans.
When the correspondent asked the photographer, whose name is Franticek German, whether there were any Jews left in this capital, he looked startled and then, smilingly, said: "Shalom, Shalom." He had been hiding the fact that he was a Jew all during the German occupation, and this was the first time he had admitted it openly.
The 100 survivors, who Herman estimates remain here, are mostly aged or ill persons and those who went into hiding. One of them, Arthur Mostri, who said he was a relative by marriage of Jack London, disclosed that a few months ago the Nazis rounded up the few Jews who had been allowed to remain in the city because they were married to non-Jews. All synagogues, he said, were destroyed except for the oldest one in trague which had been spared as an historical monument. But, that, too, may have been fit during the last-ditch battle which centered in the old city.
During a visit to Theresienstadt, yesterday, the correspondent found among the survivors, Chief Rabbi Leo Baeck of Berlin, who was deported from Germany in 1943. Dr. Baeck is safe and well. Conditions in the camp, however, are still bad. Typhus, brought in by deportees sent to Theresienstadt in recent weeks from Dachau and Buchenwald, has spread and there are as many as 100 new cases daily.
The Prague radic announced today that the ghetto in Theresienstadt-through which, the broadcast said, 90,000 Jews passed since its formation – is being liquidated with the assistance of the medical branch of the health section of the Czechoslovak National Council. A relief compaign is in full swing, and medical supplies, doctors, nurses and clothing are being sent into the camp. However, much still remains to be done in the ghetto area, the broadcast added. It stressed that residents in the ghetto area cannot be taken from the ghetto by relatives without authorization as there is danger that typhus will be spread to areas outside the camp.

text: Almost every purification we can think of begins with a muckfarming step, this involves some initial attempt to remove that protein from it natural biological mileau. Almost all begin in a horrifically impure state, that's why all the PMSF, protease inhibitors, RNA inhibitors, DNAse inhibitors. This is often the single most important step in any purification. The spectrum of contaminants within the natural mileau are often the greatest threat to a successful purification, however, these contaminants are magnitudes more common in the first extraction step than on most desktops. Hardy proteins like antibodies can be recovered from unplanned accidents, other proteins may undergo oxidation or modification altering their properties. Proteins run the spectrum of stability, from Botulinum neurotoxins that are sensitive to heat and oxidation to ribonucleases that can be abused in a great variety of ways and still function. And BTW if you are dropping botox, you have bigger problems. I once watched an mAb antibody purification spill into a drawer because of a mechanical glitch in a Gilson microfractionator, for some reason the cellulose-based lining of the drawer had become hydrophobic and thus did not absorb the solvent. (The drawer had be cleared to hold the fractionator but was not cleaned) The material was carefully removed and spun at 30,000 g. After which point it underwent both purity and binding analysis. Both were excellent, repurifying a small sample did not improve the purity. [Since this was being used as a pilot experiment we did utilize the material] Antibodies have a half-life in serum of 120 days (37'C) and are continually being exposed to serum oxidants. Thus they are not particularly heat or oxygen sensitive. The major component of contamination is dust, this is composed of cellulose, saliva proteins, skin proteins, and arthropod debris (dust mites, feces, etc). There may also be residue of cleaning agents. Most of this material is insoluble, that is why dust needs a little bit of surfactant to (e.g. hand or dishwashing soap) to wet-wipe. These may interact with proteins. Many of these components will clump in water and spin-clarify. Situations to watch out for in pelleting are desired structures that have very long axial ratios as these can become trapped by the Augston-Johnson [sp] effect (whereby very long strands become entangled in falling strands and separate slowly, and require longer times to effectively differentially sediment). Proteins with high solubility and low axial ratios should separate effectively from these components on spin down, further separation can be achieved by underlaying a small amount of 8% glycerol at the bottom of the tube (swinging bucket rotor type with proper deceleration). This means the last few mls in the tube will be avoided. Another very effective way for exchanging fluids is using the a desalting column, such as G15, this can quickly get rid of the solutes of low molecular weight (bug piss, human sweat, saliva solutes). G15 purifications do not have to be precise, OD280 can be used to monitor the progress of the protein, G25 coarse can be used for higher molecular weight proteins. Basically, a properly equilibrated G15/25 column allows you to rapidly replace a corrupted solvent with the proper solvent. When your activity/OD280 peak drops, you discard that which follows. Thus all that you have left are high-sed soluble material that has a radius over a certain size. This capability means that you can treat/preserve some proteins with inhibitors if they are momentarily exposed and then buy some time to set up a filter-top desalting column. G15/25 do not have to be long (only 6 inches will do, and they can be quite wide in diameter, which means you can get a good capacity, and they can be recycled as long as you prefilter or spin the solute). So in a pinch these can clean things up fast. The final issue is political, you really don't want to write this in your material and methods section. So if this is going into a final data for a paper, use a protocol that is actually going to be reproduced by the reader. There may be some factor on your desktop that causes your protein to double its activity [e.g. Formula 409 residue, partially burnt PCB-laced cannibus fragments from that last "lab" party that the chairman never heard about, chili sauce from the janitor's super-spicey carne al-pastor taco (the one he added extra-acidic habernero sauce to), your double-moca 'glucose surprise' cuppachino (the one with the BP-gulf oil slick floating over the rim of the cup)], and some grad student might be cursing you for 2 years in his thesis program trying to reproduce your results. -----Original Message----- From: methods-bounces from oat.bio.indiana.edu [mailto:methods-bounces from oat.bio.indiana.edu] On Behalf Of Phelan, Paul J.

All I could do was watch it spread out across the bench, although I considered trying to suck it up or soak it up in something absorbent to recover it, but I was advised to just "let it go". It's not a difficult purification, so I can repeat it, but has anyone spilled important protein and successfully recovered it, using some clever methods?

The Cannabis Grow Bible
by Greg Green
Many a marijuana cultivator have taken a pair of clippers to the top of their plant just above the last branch formation during the 3rd or 4th week of vegetative growth. The top is removed by shearing it away at the stem. This can also be done during the thinning stages. What happens next is that the main stem may split off in two or more directions. This creates a V shape at the top of your plant. The end results after flowering are two or more top colas instead of one. Now, many a cannabis grower will tell you that this is a great thing to do and sometimes it is. Two top colas instead of one does sound appealing but alas it must be said that this TOPPING method of pruning does not always work out the way you think it will.
Sometimes the plant will produce two small top colas instead of two big ones. This really depends on the strain and the environment. Many a grower have managed to bring a plant into growing more than six top colas by this method. Each strain will have a threshold for bud production, which can not be improved on. Some plants when grown fully without pruning do not reach their threshold. The strain Blueberry is a good example of this. If you grow blueberry without topping you will not achieve maximum bud production from that plant, but if you do top the blueberry you will. Other strains are not so flexible and by topping you will not increase bud production. The two top colas will simply be sharing the same volume of bud that a single cola would have produced on the same strain. So pruning for production is strain related and grow related. You need to find a strain that responds well to topping.
It is advised that you experiment with this pruning method. Do this with 2 out of 10 females with every grow you do. You will find in time that during this vegetative prune you will be able to shape your plant. Plants are generally pruned 3 – 4 weeks into their vegetative cycle but can be pruned sooner or later or more than once. Pruning during flowering will cause problems with bud production because the plant will divert its energy from bud production into branch and leaf production. The results will be a slower rate of Bud growth.
Remember how we spoke about Indica plants being small and Sativa plants being tall. Well if you learn to prune your plant right you can generate small bushy Sativa plants that grow in tiny spaces. Without pruning the Sativa plant it will probably stretch to five feet and more.
For every stem or branch you prune, the cut area will develop two more branches. Look outside at any tree. See how the stem divides into branches which sub-divide into more branches which divide into new shoots and leaves. Well some marijuana plant only grow a main branch out from the stem and this may stay that way throughout its entire grow. Any filling out usually occurs when new leaves and branches develop at the nodes. Some lateral branches may develop new shoots but these are somewhat small and thin and do not support much bud growth. If we prune our plant we can make it more like the tree that we see in the garden. There is also a limit to how much we can prune. Let us follow a prune path for a moment.
If we prune the stem, it will split into two. We can prune both these two new stems and end up with four stems. We may try to prune each of these four stems to try and create eight stems, but this depends on the strain and its branching limit which is genetically based. We may be able to prune some of the lateral branches but again if the plant has reached it threshold it will not produce more new branches. All strains are different in this respect.
Prune cuts are made using clippers at a 45-degree angle to the shoot being cut.

Money laundering in European football business
According to the Financial Action Task Force ("FATF"), an inter-governmental body whose purpose is the development and promotion of national and international policies to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, the multi-billion dollar global football sector has become a vehicle for money laundering and other forms of corruption, requiring an international response.
With the growing economic and social importance of sports and increasing profits that can be made out of sports, money now exerts a strong influence on the world of sports. Sports governing bodies and (inter-) national authorities recently expressed their concerns on the inflow of dirty money into the sporting industry. The EU White Paper on Sports already stated in 2007 that sport is confronted with new threats such as money laundering.
FATF focused its study especially on the football sector. Based on responses to a questionnaire from government and football authorities in 25 countries, more than 20 cases of football-related money laundering were detected. The cases ranged from the smuggling of large amounts of cash derived from apparently illegal transactions to more complex operations.
Several combined factors make football an attractive sector to criminals. Football is especially vulnerable because of:
The study furthermore revealed that a variety of money flows involving various financial transactions increase the risk of money laundering. These are related to ownership of football clubs, the transfer market and ownership of players, betting activities and image rights, sponsorship and advertising arrangements.
Other cases showed that the football sector is used as a vehicle for evolving criminal activities such as trafficking in human beings, corruption, drug trafficking and tax crime. In other words, a lot to do for the policy makers, sports organizations and clubs to prevent the increasing activity of money laundering in the sports industry.
2 Comments:
Were any specific clubs mentioned in this report?
No specific clubs were mentioned. However, a few real (anonymous) cases were used as illustration. As in these cases reference was made to the country, you may, together with other information on the case, derive which club was "victim" of money laundering.

Dear friends,
Do you know how many days until spring? I DO! It is 45 and can't come soon enough!
I must admit I do like running through the snow and hearing my moms laugh about all the snow "bunnies" in my fur. I don't quite understand it, because I know I don't think I have any bunnies in my fur because if I did I would be chasing them. Snow bunnies must be different than just bunnies. I am warm, have my family and enough to eat so I am trying very hard to not complain, but 45 days is circled on my calendar, and I am on countdown.
I have been hearing people talk about someone named Phil that lives in the east someplace and comes outside every February 2 to check out the weather. I guess if he sees his shadow we get more snow. I really wonder how this works? If I was in charge I would make sure he never saw his shadow. And something else I don't understand, if he lives in the east and the sun is shining there but not here, then what? Humans, they are hard to understand sometimes but I still love them.
We are going to have a great week because my friend Sir Bentley is staying with my town mom. He is a wild one. He jumps and jumps and circles around and acts like a crazy man sometimes. He runs through the snow like a bulldozer and he is only about my size. It is okay with me because then it is easier for me to get through the snow. I don't think he has quite figured that out yet. You know I am a little older so I am after all a little wiser.
Actually I learned it from Lucy and Gertie, but don't tell Bentley that. We have just a tiny conflict. You see, my town mom's lap is mine. Bentley thinks it is his as well. Sometimes I am okay with that but after all, I was first and I really like that time I sit on her lap and snuggle. I will be trying very hard this week to share. I really want to be a good host. There is really room for both of us but it is kind of a juggling act to get the right spot.
Valentine's Day is coming just in case you don't know. My town mom explained it to me so it might be fun for you to let me know why you love your person so much. I have begun to keep a list and will share it with you next week. Let me know all your reasons and I will be glad to share them with everyone.
Do you remember us talking about a dog named Mama? She is the gal who had 15 puppies. She has her new forever home but 10 of her puppies still need homes. I have seen them and they are cool dudes! If you are thinking about a puppy they are very ready to have their "fur-ever" home. Call the Ark Animal Sanctuary at 463-4142 and find a great pal!
Tip of the week: To keep your dog busy, buy toys with little holes in them (such as a Kong), put both big and small pieces of kibble in the toy and give it to your dog. This will keep him busy for quite a while, presuming he has a few small ones that he gets out quickly. You can also wedge dog biscuits in the holes with a smear of peanut butter.
Your "fur-ever" pal, Buddy

Putin's decision was based on his paranoia. U.S. money funds important sociological research, but not protests.
Opposition in Russia Has Little to Do With U.S. Money
Masha Gessen, a journalist in Moscow, is the author of "The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin." She also writes for The New York Times' Latitude blog.
September 24, 2012
The Kremlin believes that by kicking the U.S. Agency for International Development out of the country it will succeed in quashing the protest movement. This idea, in turn, rests on the regime's core beliefs, which are: to oppose the regime is to become an enemy of the country, and such an enemy has to be an external force.
In his first comments on the protest movement last December, Vladimir Putin, then the prime minister, indicated that he believed the U.S. State Department had funded the demonstrations, tens of thousands strong, that had erupted that month. He was wrong. I was involved in the protest organizing efforts from December through June, and I can say with certainty that the bulk of the money came from private donors inside Russia — and many of those were members of Putin's own elite.
This points to a tragic flaw in the current regime: Not only do the Kremlin's policy makers see the world through siege-mentality, cold-war-era glasses, they are also very poorly informed. The protest movement is more than nine months old; the authorities have been downright obsessed with the sources of its funding the entire time. People who have been detained or arrested in connection with the protests report being interrogated almost exclusively on issues of financing the protests. And yet no one has apparently reported to the top the simple truth that U.S. money has little or nothing to do with the protests while the very people on whom Putin relies for much of his authority have been secretly funding the demonstrations.
Which is not to say that U.S. funding has nothing to do with the Russian opposition. One of the organizations that have relied on money from the Agency for International Development is Golos, one of two groups that played a key role in documenting the election fraud that inspired the protests. It stands to reason that it is easier to find private funding for street demonstrations that are immediate and visible than for long-term projects that involve sociological research and statistical analysis — which describes what Golos did. If the organization is unable to find funding to fill in the void left by the A.I.D.'s departure, this will not make the protest movement less numerous — but it will make it less informed.
And that falls within the logic of the Kremlin's actions as well. They are, at root, isolationist. Sovereignty is a word used to dress up the iron curtain that Putin's government is struggling to reconstruct. The regime's cherished illusion is that by shielding the country from foreign influence it will secure its own future indefinitely.

In February of 2005, I was in the Guatemalan jungle, on top of what archaeologists have designated Temple IV in the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Tikal, standing next to the chamber where the priest-king used to gobble magic mushrooms. Sound Tribe Sector 9 was playing on the iPod.
You've seen the view from Temple IV before: it's the jungle hideout where the rebels regroup for their attack on the Death Star in Star Wars. Tikal was a city designed specifically to align with the Maya's advanced astronomical knowledge. Rumor has it Sector 9 arrange their setlists according to the Mayan calendar. At the base of the pyramid, our guide Daniello was waiting with far-out theories about the end of the Long Count on December 21, 2012.
Back in New York (a city specifically designed to allow immigrants to make it to work on time), I played around with a bizarre screenplay called Twenty-Twelve for a couple of weeks. Then there was news of Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, and I read Daniel Pinchbeck's follow-up to Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, a daring work that combines personal history with way-out ideas about the nature of time, the emergent noosphere, crop circles, the theories of Rudolf Steiner and Jose Arguelles, and the end of the Mayan Long Count. I shelved Twenty-Twelve.
Tonight I saw Apocalypto, and I'm absolutely dying to tell you what I thought–but Disney embargoed all reviews until the December 8 release, and you know how it is: when the Mouse asks, you don't refuse–and you definitely wouldn't want to get Mr. Gibson angry. The most I dare say is this: Apocalypto has nothing to do whatsoever with anything that interested me about Mayan culture in the first place, and Marcy might be wrong about Babel. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll bite my tongue for a week and leave you with some photos from Tikal and a video of Sector 9 playing Tokyo:
I'd love to know what Daniello has to say about Apocalypto.
Apocalypto. Mel Gibson, 2006. (No rating yet.)

"Information is power," says Robert Epstein in the Huffington Post, and because Google can provide and restrict "access to large volumes of information," it has "the ability to alter the attitudes and behavior of billions of people" and must be regulated.
Does Google hold too much power?
2 Responses
Just tell me how "regulating" the Internet, or Google, can be accomplished. Once you've answered that impossible question, then tell me who gets to make the regulatory rules? How would they be enforced?
Now, stop scratching your head. There will be a competitor to Google in the near future. Competition is always the best medicine in these circumstances.
The same kinds of questions were raised when, in the early 1900s, people realized that the phone companies needed to be regulated, and then, decades later, that the credit bureaus needed to be regulated. In each case, civil liberties were at stake, and most people ultimately agreed that the our interest in protecting civil liberties must outweigh our interest in promoting business innovation. Please do read all four parts of my essay for further details. Cordially, /Dr. Robert Epstein

treatment of conservative groups that applied for tax exempt status.
"Oh no, this is all very innocent! Just pure coincidence!"
Insty suggests we just start taking heads. At this point it sounds like a good idea.
Threat to Fort Bliss? Not enough to actually do anything yet. Officially, anyway.
But senior military officials contacted by JW this week reveal that military installations in the U.S. only make changes to security measures when there are clear and present threats. "It's a significant issue when this is done," says retired Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, former commander of the Army's elite Delta Force who also served four years as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. "That means they're getting a threat stream. Ft. Bliss had to have a clear and present threat."
If the commander isn't at least quietly doing 'just in case' stuff, he should be relieved of command.
More wonders from the Brit NHS that we're supposed to copy:
Death rates in NHS hospitals are among the highest in the western world, shock figures revealed yesterday.
British patients were found to be almost 50 per cent more likely to die from poor care than those in America.
They have five times the chance of dying from pneumonia and twice the chance of being killed by blood poisoning.
Based on past history, the Cubans have lots of academics to draw from:
Cuba's communist-led intelligence services are aggressively recruiting leftist American academics and university professors as spies
and influence agents, according to an internal FBI report published
this week.
Cuban intelligence services "have perfected the work of placing
agents, that includes aggressively targeting U.S. universities under the
assumption that a percentage of students will eventually move on to
positions within the U.S. government that can provide access to
information of use to the [Cuban intelligence service]," the five-page unclassified FBI report says. It notes that the Cubans "devote a significant amount of resources to targeting and exploiting U.S. academia."
"Academia has been and remains a key target of foreign intelligence
services, including the [Cuban intelligence service]," the report
Academia just flat loves terrorists like Bill Ayers, so this isn't exactly a surprise, is it?
And last for this morning,
Why Sally can't get a good job with her college degree. Which all boils down to 'She just needs a DIFFERENT degree.' But it includes this:
On the one hand, a college degree provides a needed credential to get a
job, even if that job doesn't require a college degree.
Bullshit. Lots of jobs going begging out there that don't require a degree. They DO require getting dirty and sweaty, though, conditions which are considered beneath the dignity of Womyn or something.* And not one mention of any of those. At least does note
But, on the
other hand, if a woman wishes to move up on the pay scale, she may have
to consider dropping her liberal arts degree in favor of a more
technically-oriented degree, like engineering or physics. Barring these
changes, women may find that they are very well-educated, but not
necessarily very well compensated.
Yeah, not much demand for "I have degrees in Womyns' Studies!" people
*Yeah, I know, but women are supposed to be smarter than men, right? So they ought to be moving into those jobs Mike Rowe keeps pushing for people to go into ahead of the dumb men.

TROY, Ohio (WDTN) – A Troy grandmother is accused of smoking pot with her grandson.
Catherine Davis, 51, is charged with corrupting a minor with drugs and drug possession.
Our partners at the Troy Daily News say police were investigating after a complaint was made about Davis's grandson being unruly.
The report says the 14-year-old boy told police he admitted smoking pot with grandma along with his 16-year-old friend.
Police searched her Amelia Drive home and say they found more pot, so they arrested her.
Davis is in the Miami County Jail on $22,500 bond.

The typical attempt looks like this on the wire: 23:55:44.355576 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0x500eae02 [|bootp] 23:55:44.363792 192.168.102.1.67 > 192.168.102.8.68: xid:0x500eae02 Y:192.168.102.8 S:192.168.102.1 [|bootp] (DF) 23:55:46.364620 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0x500eae02 secs:2 [|bootp] 23:55:46.372827 192.168.102.1.67 > 192.168.102.8.68: xid:0x500eae02 secs:2 Y:192.168.102.8 S:192.168.102.1 [|bootp] (DF) 23:55:51.373736 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0x500eae02 secs:7 [|bootp] If I run 'search' on the boot admin menu of the HP, it gives me the IP address of the DHCP server, so I know it's receiving traffic. It just won't "go" for some reason, and I'm not seeing any error or diagnostic messages outside of 'boot failed'. Any ideas or well known gotchas?

Google has once again announced two updates to its bulk location management tool, a month after introducing the improved version of the tool. First, businesses can make updates and posts to their customers using the Google+ page for their location. Second, they can now add or remove managers for a particular location and transfer location ownership.
Adding and Removing Managers of Bulk Location:
Managers of bulk locations appear in the status column in your account. Grey icons tell that you are the manager on a location, although you are not the owner. The orange icons indicate that you are the owner of a location. To add a manager to a location:
- Choose the relevant location from the list
- Click Add managers
- Enter the email address or Google+ profile of the new manager
- Click Invite
You can add or remove managers only if you are the owner. You can also transfer the ownership rights of an entire account to someone else, but for this, the person to whom the ownership is transferred should be an existing manager of the page for at least two weeks. After clicking on Add Managers, click on the dropdown arrow on the card of the person to whom you want to transfer the ownership and select "Transfer ownership to" followed by their name.
To remove a manager from a page:
- Choose the relevant location from the list
- Click Add managers
- Click the cross icon for the person you want to remove
Google+ Social Feature:
All the verified and upgraded locations can now have their Google+ pages. If your locations are verified then your information can appear everywhere on Google- on Maps, Search, and Google+. To use social features on a location, like making a post, hover over Live in the status column and click on the Google+ icon. However, it may take around one week for Google+ pages and icons to appear.

In Dicey Grenor's Sleepy Willow's Bonded Soul, vampires are the predators and we are the prey. They're hungry, seductive, fast, strong…and narcoleptic?
Willow's got a problem. She suffers from narcolepsy, and so devises a plan to heal herself by becoming a vampire. However instead of freeing herself from this limitation, it turns out she just becomes a vampire with a most unusual handicap.
Oh, and throw in the fact that vampirism is illegal and she has to constantly watch her back, her kinky adventures in a fetish night club she works in…and breaking her bond with her sexy (but scary) vampire maistre–this story will take you on a wild ride.
I snagged a copy myself, and so a review will be forthcoming 🙂 I know I'm in for something crazy, daring, and likely to make me blush.
To get yourself a copy, just click on the book icon. Sleepy Willow is available in both paperback and ebook (Kindle) format.
Ever since vampirism became illegal, the undead have been hunted to near-extinction. So Willow has to watch her back to make sure no one finds out what she is. And that's not easy considering she's a vampire with narcolepsy. Predator can become prey at any moment, especially with the skillful Vampire Extermination Team (VET) on the job.
Hoping to blend in with the nightlife, Willow takes advantage of being an animated corpse by performing for necrophiliacs at premiere fetish club Hades. Here, she discovers colleagues with other supernatural secrets. She's also unexpectedly drawn to Remi, her most loyal fan, despite his deviant sexual nature and personality disorder. But succumbing to her lust is not a good idea since her maistre vampire forbids it.
Now Willow has to outsmart VET agents, escape bounty hunters, and find a cure for narcolepsy…or vampirism. And she's got to break the bond with her maistre, no matter how powerful and unrelenting he is.
Most importantly, can she stay awake long enough to do any of it?

American Modern Furniture's George Bed
Honestly, we're a little confused. A few months ago we were told that American Modern Furniture was closing. But they're still advertising their George Bed on Craigslist. We're not sure if they're liquidating their stock or are back in business, but all that really matters is that you can scoop up one of their all solid hardwood beds at a pretty good price.
Similar in look to a Case Study Bed, the George Bed is simple and modern-looking, with a slat base and solid headboard, and powder-coated hairpin legs.
Available here in Queen ($849) and Cal King ($949), and in three finishes (black, walnut, and blond).

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 2 – Intermediate)
Topic: Fearful (08/23/07)
TITLE: Understand Extended Meanings
By gene hudgens
It is also clear from Scripture that God doesn't want His Creation afflicted with fearfulness. God encourages us to see a fearful situation through the eyes of faith. God preaches faith and not fear.
With faith we can believe that God is superior in power and number and thus we can reason that we need not fear. With faith God opens our eyes to see life from a divine position with a righteous attitude and perspective.
Fear is a tool of the devil and it causes mental anguish, distress, disease and physical suffering, as we buckle under, because of anxieties, worry, cares, dread, and uneasiness. When fear grasps us we will not think rationally or clearly.
By human nature humans will normally either respond by standing and fighting or by tucking their tail between their legs and running away. Too many people spend their entire life running away because they listen to the devil's evil plan of false reasoning and confusion. Running away is not what God wants; God wants us to get close to Him, talk with Him, and ask Him to help us identify why we are fearful.
Faith and fear run in opposite directions and the devil is a genius when offering us 'quick comfort' temptations, in our mixed up minds, to deal with our fear and panic. Christians are never exempt from the devil's temptations and must always be alert to practice what we preach; pray, embrace God, and ask Him to guide us.
Everyone, Christians and non-believers, will encounter many types of fear many times in our lives. At some time in our lives we will likely, to some degree, experience fear of success, failure, death, sickness, rejection, competition and what ever.
Regardless of the intent, the many translations of the Bible have left many believers and readers confused and fearful. It seems that in recent years there is a positive desire to show that understanding the "extended meanings" of the original Hebrew words often can correct our misunderstandings of the Bible and reduce contradictions and confusion.
We must understand the broader sense of the word "fear". It is a source of doubt, worry, and uncertainty to many readers that so often read the common expression, "Fear of God". The assumption that we should "fear our Lord" is negative, but appears hundreds of time in the Old Testament. Even in the New Testament we often find "fear of God".
Many Hebrew words have a much broader sense of meaning than we have in English. In English the word 'fear' is always negative. In Hebrew 'fear' can be positive like reverence or negative like terror.
The words 'reverence' and 'revere' come from the Hebrew word 'yarah', which literally means 'to fear'. Christians are often taught that "the fear of the Lord" is the fear of punishment that God can enact for our actions. After death each of us must stand in judgment for the actions in our life. For Christians who believe that Jesus died for us and that our sins have been forgiven… should not have this fear of God.
The "extended meaning" of the word 'fear' is the belief that fear and reverence for God motivates us to do His will each day. We must constantly be aware of the presence of God in our daily lives. When we believe that God knows all of our actions and thoughts, then we must certainly be aware of the constant presence of God…and do what pleases Him.
Each of us must "fear", but our fear should be to prevent us from doing things that upset God, not fearing His punishment. When we believe this, the essence of our life is "faith".
Never forget for one moment that "God is watching our every action and thought".
Being "fearful" of God's presence in our daily lives will transform us into the person God wants us to be.

She's Acting Immaturely, What Do I Do?Visitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Male
I have liked this chick for a long time and we finally went out on a few dates and she always seemed nervous when she was with me. I asked her about it and she just got mad at me. She said she wanted to be friends and I was like ok and I started looking for someone else to have a relationship with.
After a couple weeks she called me and said she wanted to do something and then didn't call back and wasn't home when I called.
Now her friend keeps telling me that she is seeing someone else and like are doing this and that. I'm sure they are lying and trying to make me jealous.
I've been getting messages from her online through a different account saying I should tell her how I feel about her. Me being stupid called and she never answered the phone.
I think this has gotten WAY out of hand and something needs to be done. I just need some help to do the right thing. I don't want her to do something crazy, cuz I do have some feelings for her. Oh, BTW there is way more to this story, but you probally dont want to read a chapter book. Any help you can give me would be great.
RomanceClass.com Advice
This girl sounds like she's really not mature enough to date yet! Most girls would be THRILLED if their boyfriend actually asked them how they felt and wanted to talk about things. Your girl got MAD??? What kind of a relationship is that, when you get mad at your partner for talking to you?
Then when you break up she starts acting very strangely, playing games with you. That whole pretending to be someone else on IM is just way out of control. If she wants to talk to you, she should talk to you. To start pretending to be someone else and playing mind games with you is NOT RIGHT. If she's capable of that, it's really not a good sign of what else she is capable of.
Yes, you like her. But she needs to do some growing up and believe me you can't MAKE someone grow up. So give her some time alone and go on with your life. Maybe in a few months (or years) she will be mature enough to date. But she just doesn't sound like she is right now.
