Bluffton Self Help gets bigger building
Renovations on Bluffton Self Help's new Sheridan
Park building are set to begin Wednesday.
Bluffton Self Help will stretch its nonprofit legs come November when it moves its operations from Old Town into a 6,700-square-foot facility in Sheridan Park.
Renovation and transformation of the former tile and granite showroom at 39 Sheridan Circle will begin Wednesday,
Monday's sneak peek at the new space put a smile on Ida Martin's face, the woman who started helping neighbors in 1979 and formed Bluffton Self Help Inc. in 1987 from the trunk of her vehicle and garage.
"This is one great day for me," Martin said on Monday. "I never thought I'd see something like this. This is enough to make tears come to my eyes."
Bluffton Self Help showcased its new facility during a media and donor event Monday, marking the end of a 19-month-long project to find and secure a new, bigger space and the beginning of Phase 2 of the nonprofit's building campaign. The goal is to raise an additional $300,000 for renovation and for a 10-year endowment that will help pay for upkeep and utilities, according to Peter Bromley, president of the Bluffton Self Help board.
The building was purchased outright for $575,000 through grants, donations and fundraising campaigns.
"Having just closed on our new building, we are now one giant step closer to bring this very important community project to reality," he said.
Last year, Bluffton Self Help provided food, clothing and emergency financial aid to more than 22,000 clients, all from its 1,000-square-foot town-owned building (and former jail) on May River Road.
The nonprofit has simply outgrown its current space and is bursting at the seams, according to Bromley.
"This was not a case of 'nice-to-do,' this was a case of 'have-to-do'," Bromley said of the move to a larger space.
Bluffton Self Help's board had considered knocking down the existing building on May River Road and building a new 5,000-square-foot two-story facility on the same site, but soon learned it wouldn't be large enough and issues with the lack of parking and safety remained.
"It still didn't solve the problems that we had with that space and the town also thought that wasn't the best place for us to be," Bromley said.
The town of Bluffton then donated a 10-acre site near the Post Office but pre-construction infrastructure costs (preparing the raw land for water, sewer and utilities) escalated to more than $1.2 million and pushed a move-in date well into 2013.
"Because it was a virgin site, we would have had to put in all of the infrastructure and that would have been cost prohibitive," he said. "It would have been irresponsible."
The board decided a pre-existing building was the way to go.
"Thanks to the extremely generous selling terms from the owner, we will now be in our own building before Thanksgiving, 15 to 20 months sooner and $500,000 less than building on the town site," Bromley said.
On Monday, Tray Hunter, Bluffton Self Help board member and building chair, highlighted how the larger space will be used.
At the May River Road location, everyone has to come in and out one door.
In the new space, food and clothing distribution and client services will be split up into three separate areas, allowing for better flow and client privacy.
"People won't have to wait outside anymore and won't be in the elements, and this offers a piece of dignity; people can come inside and aren't out in the open," said board member Christine Loeffler.
The new Bluffton Self Help will offer three private interview rooms and an opportunity to offer Benefit Bank, an online processing service to file for eligibility on state and local programs such as food stamps, child care assistance, educational grants, tax returns, medical assistance for medication and equipment, income assistance and voter registration.
There will be extra freezer and refrigerator space.
Out back, food trucks from places like Second Helpings can make deliveries to three bays.
When Second Helpings recently delivered 30,000 pounds of food, Self Help was forced to rent a storage unit to store all of the extra food, Hunter said.
For the first time, off-season clothing and toys will be stored onsite.
"Right now we can't take toys until after Thanksgiving because we simply don't have anywhere to store them," Hunter said.
Office space and a volunteers room will fill the upstairs and include a multipurpose room for training, meetings and classes.
"Here's a chance for us to do what our name says, self help. People will be able to help themselves with the classes that we'll be able to offer," said John Orth, vice president of the board. "We just never had the space before."
A money management class will be offered, among others, he said.
"It's a real evolution; we're evolving into something great," said board member Walt Hollis.

Enigmatic relic was an eclipse calculator
The mystery over the purpose of a sophisticated geared "calculator" built in the 2nd century BC has finally been solved.
The so-called "Antikythera mechanism" was found in 1902 by sponge divers exploring a shipwreck off the Greek island of the same name, but its exact use had puzzled scientists.
The relic consists of numerous fragments, including brass gears embedded in thick mineral encrustations. The device is thought to have once been housed in a wooden box about the size of a carriage clock and is more complex by far than any other machine known to have existed on the planet for the following 1000 years.
Now a team led by Mike Edmunds at Cardiff University in Wales has shown that the Antikythera mechanism was designed to predict solar and lunar eclipses from the relative positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun.
Edmunds's team used an industrial CT scanner to map out the gear trains within the mineral-encrusted fragments. The scans allowed them to determine how the components fit together and to work out their function. The team also found fragments of previously hidden text engraved on the metal.
Long tradition
"The real significance of this is just how sophisticated the device was – much more complex than a modern wristwatch," says Edmunds. "It is beautifully designed and must have come from a long tradition of making these kinds of devices."
The team is constructing a virtual model of the mechanism, which they hope to have completed within a few months.
But questions still remain, says Edmunds. There are various written references to devices like the Antikythera mechanism and yet no other examples are known. One reason may be that the bronze from which the machine is made would have been extremely valuable and so similar devices may have been melted down.
"It may be significant that the only example we have has come from a shipwreck and so couldn't have been melted down," Edmunds says, adding that the only examples of bronze statues from the same period also come from shipwrecks.

Bill can more than double if you don't own up
A TAX liability can more than double if a defaulter is contacted by the Revenue Commissioners, but doesn't admit to owing tax.
But coming forward before an investigation is formally started can help avoid thousands of euro in penalties.
While a daily interest rate of 0.0219pc is unavoidable - it is set out in legislation - penalties of up to 100pc of the liability can be imposed if the evasion was deliberate and there is no voluntary disclosure.
The Revenue Commissioners said that in the case of a €10,000 tax liability outstanding for two years, where no disclosure had been made, there had been no co-operation and the tax was evaded deliberately, the total settlement could amount to €22,398.
This comprises the original tax bill of €10,000, interest of 0.0219pc per day adding €2,398 and a maximum penalty of €10,000.
This would reduce to €13,398 if a disclosure was made and the taxpayer co-operated.
The analysis of settlements between 2009 and 2014 show that tax liabilities of €216.1m were incurred. Another €230.4m was added in interest and liabilities.
In 70pc of planned audits, a settlement was reached. In 30pc of random audits, the taxpayer had a liability.
Revenue said that anyone who approached Revenue with concerns about a liability would get a "better deal".
"The whole mantra of Revenue in recent years is making it as easy as possible to comply."

President, National Action Network
Ever since the verdict in the Michael Dunn so-called 'loud music' trial was announced, many parents have asked me what they should tell their children. How do they even begin to explain why a judge was forced to declare a mistrial on the charge of first-degree murder? How do they say to their young boys and girls that no matter what they achieve, how educated they are or what they do in life, some may only view them as dangerous or threatening? Whether these parents have called into my radio show or stopped me on the street, my answer has continuously been that the very first thing we must do is permanently remove despicable legislation like 'stand your ground' laws. It is 2014 and we must focus our energy on state legislative elections so that we may have leaders in places like Florida and elsewhere that can revoke these laws. Our children's lives are literally at stake.
It seems as if we are stuck in some sort of disturbing pattern. A young Black teen is shot to death, we are all consumed by a trial against the alleged perpetrator, we watch this defendant claim that he was fearful for his life and then we see a jury fail to deliver appropriate justice. Well, it's time to stop dancing around the issue and address the 800-lb. gorilla in the room: 'stand your ground' and similar laws have become an escape route for people to justify anything. And the state of Florida is ground zero for the devastation that has been caused by this legislation. In the Dunn case, just as in the George Zimmerman trial last year, the defense may not have invoked 'stand your ground' specifically, but the jury was instructed using language from that law. Because of this deplorable regulation, an individual has no duty to retreat and can therefore justify his/her actions by simply stating they feared for their life. Despite the fact that Jordan Davis, the 17-year-old victim in the Dunn case, wasn't armed and no weapon was recovered in the vehicle that he and three of friends were in, Dunn claimed he felt threatened. 'Stand your ground' and similar self-defense rules have created a dangerous space where any shooting can be excused by simply stating that you feared for your life. It has allowed an individual's ingrained biases to potentially be protected under the law, no matter who gets hurt in the process. And let's not act like Florida is the only place where this is happening.
There are currently 23 states (including Florida) where legislation like 'stand your ground' exists. That means that in 23 states, cases like the Dunn and Zimmerman trials are taking place continuously without the presence of the media. That means mothers and fathers are burying their young because someone or multiple people felt 'threatened'. And that means jurors across the country may very well fail to convict people who kill others because the burden of proof is virtually impossible to achieve.

The Georgia Guidestones, The Mahdi, World War III and Comet Elenin
For several months I have needed to write an important article following up on my Georgia Guidestones research. A good introduction to that research is here.
However, my business is keeping me very busy and has made it impossible for me to spare enough time to write a proper article.
Since so little time is left, I will update this site over the next few days with bits and pieces of information that I have meant to share. Please excuse any sloppy editing.
Since the time of my last report on the Georgia Guidestones along with my appearance on the History Channel, I have discovered that the monument's true purpose is to welcome the arrival of the Mahdi, the great Islamic conqueror prophesied to deliver justice across an unjust world. The Burj Khalifa, which I have irrefutably linked to the Georgia Guidestones, alludes to the global caliphate which the Mahdi is foretold to establish (the word "Khalifa" means "caliphate"). The Caliphate is intended to be a global government ruled by the Mahdi under Islamic law.
However, for the occult puppet-masters pulling his strings, World War III must be waged in order for the Mahdi to ascend to his global throne, with the ultimate resolution being the destruction of the West: the United States, Great Britain, Israel and their closest allies must be toppled, with billions of human lives extinguished.
According to Shiite beliefs, the Mahdi will do battle with the "One-Eyed Antichrist," a description of the "Eye of Providence," that familiar emblem on the back of the U.S. One Dollar bill which is widely recognized as a Masonic trademark. In fact, many Muslims believe that the West has been under the control of Freemasonry for centuries. Furthermore, some Shiite leaders have recently been equating the Daǧǧāl, the Islamic Antichrist, with that secret society.
Ironically, the bizarre, controversial Georgia Guidestones monument was built by Freemasons and protected by them over decades when little do the Masons know that the monument celebrates the man who will purportedly destroy them.
So the Freemasons of Elbert County, Georgia, constructed and tirelessly defend an edifice that not only mocks them, but celebrates their planned catastrophic and total decimation. As such, the Georgia Guidestones monument, a gigantic granite cuckoo's egg laid in the nest of Freemasonry, stands as one of the boldest and most brilliant acts of subterfuge in the history of mankind.
Iran produced a documentary earlier this year claiming that World War III would erupt in the fall, only a few weeks from now. With the ongoing "Arab Spring" setting the stage for the apocalyptic conflagration, there is also another piece of evidence suggesting that Iran might be correct.
On 12/10/2010, the modest comet C/2010 X1 was discovered by the Russian amateur astronomer Leonid Elenin. Strangely, this seemingly innocuous body, better known as Comet Elenin (named after its discoverer), soon triggered rampant hysteria across many Internet websites and message boards.
While much of the Comet Elenin fear mongering is lunacy — and perhaps intentionally fomented lunacy — I have written a computer simulation that very strongly suggests that Comet Elenin is probably much more than meets the eye. In fact, it appears certain that Comet Elenin is the return of a celestial body expected for many years and might be the astrological harbinger of orchestrated global doom.
I will try to expound upon this body of information in the coming days. For now, be alert for important global and perhaps celestial events on September 26.

Your information is so very interesting and hopefully a wakeup call for the world. In the book "The Israel Omen" by David Brennan talks about when the "Quartet" gets together to change Israel's land around, a natural disaster seems to strike. Also, http://www.prophecyinthenews.com with Gary Stearman has a lot to say about current events and end times. I personally feel that Comet Elenin is a sign from the Lord for those that are Watchers. The first alignment was during the Chile Earthquake, the second was New Zealand, the third was Japan, and now I feel on Sept. 26th there will probably be a large quake on the West Coast of America. The further we distance ourselves from Israel, the more our country has been cursed! Thank you for your time devoted to help those that will listen and good luck to you and your family. God Bless America and the Christians that will listen during these very critical times.
Regarding Tim Furnish's blog here: http://www.mahdiwatch.org/
The author made several disturbingly inaccurate observations.
1. Smith does not claim that the Mahdi is a Shiite-only idea.
2. Smith did not claim that "The Coming Is Upon Us" set a specific date for the emergence of the Mahdi. He did maintain that the documentary claimed that World War III would erupt this year. However, the Iranian movie most certainly equates Ahmadinejad's 72 months in office with "Shoeib-Ebne Saleh starts his move 72 months prior to 'The Coming'". Although Furnish mentions this time period in his article on the video, he simply ignores the point, rather than address it.
3. "The Coming Is Upon Us" infers the connection between the "One-Eyed Antichrist" and the Eye of Providence and explicitly identifies the Freemasons as the Dajaal. Furnish even mentions this in his article on the documentary, yet infers that Smith is the origin of these ideas in this commentary, when Smith is clearly restating the Shiite beliefs expressed in the Iranian propaganda piece.
4. Being around for only decades certainly qualifies as "recently" when considering a time frame of thousands of years of Islamic beliefs.
Overall, Furnish's commentary is condescending, smug, petty, a little angry and offers no insight of any value on the topic.
Islamic beliefs have not been around for thousands of years – check your history – it is one of the youngest world faiths out there.
Van Smith do you have any other information linking The Burj Khalifa to the Mahdi other than the name of the building?
I'm sure you know Burj means tower. The full name of the building "Burj Khalifa" is "Burj Khalifa Bin Zayed".
The name of the building was renamed "Burj Khalifa Bin Zayed" to honour the UAE President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his support of the building.
It would be very interesting if the Georgia Guidestones were for the Madi but to you have any other evidence for this or any showing that they lied for the reason they named the Burj Khalifa?
Oh oh. The comet Elenin has joined the choir invisible. It is an ex-comet. Unless "they" are hiding something….
The modern state of Israel you are referring to is Judah-Edom, not Israel. Do your research…
There's still people who see distant, non-NEO comets are harbingers of doom?
I mean, wow.

Hi guys,
This problem has been driving me nuts for a couple of days now, thought I'd post it up and see if you whizzes can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
My problem is that I am passing an array to my method and when I output the array the first time it outputs as normal but then if I pass that array to another method and then output its value again the original value of the array has changed and it's not supposed to..? Anyway's here the gist of the code:
public void trachPrimeFactor (byte [] numToFactor)
while ((record = br.readLine()) != null)
lineToByte = convertStringToByte(record);
outputArray(numToFactor); <-- works fine here
outputArray(trachModulus(numToFactor, lineToByte));
outputArray(numToFactor); <-- output is wrong here
Output looks something like this:
0 <--this output is correct, basically I'm just asking 83720%2 at the moment
00000 <-- but I want this to say 83720 as it did before
I thought at first that perhaps the method trachModulus might be changing the array within the method so I just tried:
public byte [] trachModulus (byte[] origNumSent, byte[] divideByThis)
byte [] origNum = origNumSent;
and just used origNum within trachModulus but the result is the same, the original array passed to trachModulus changes.
Can any of you guys see what I'm doing wrong??
Really appreciate any help you can give guys!

Dear Gaians,
It is with an extremely heavy heart with which I write this journal entry.
After much deep thought and deliberation, I have decided to step down from the Gaia Online staff. This was a very difficult decision for me... I have been with Gaia for almost 6 years, and I have much love for the people I've worked with, as well as this community.
As I am still relatively young, I go forth to expand my horizons, gain more experiences, and grow as a professional and an artist working in the field that I love most.
For the past few years I have been directing users to report glitches to me directly. Now that I will no longer be taking care of glitches myself, I have left directions with my peers and staff to continue fixing issues. In the meantime, I do ask you all to start reporting your item issues here:

BBC, Google may join for iPlayer shows
BBC is negotiating with Google to have episodes of the British broadcaster's TV series available through the BBC iPlayer, sources close to the talks say.
The anonymous sources said BBC Director-General Mark Thompson and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt have been discussing a joint venture that would create an international version of the broadcaster's iPlayer, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.The sources said the new iPlayer version would be supported in an unspecified capacity by the video-sharing Web site YouTube, which is owned by Google.
YouTube carries short clips of some BBC series, but no full episodes. The reported proposal would make viewers worldwide able to watch entire BBC episodes online via the iPlayer platform.
An unidentified BBC representative confirmed an international iPlayer was a possibility, but added numerous
obstacles were causing problems in such expansion efforts.
There are a significant number of obstacles to extending this commercially to other countries, including international rights clearance, the representative told the Telegraph.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Elevated algae levels are causing concerns in northwest Ohio communities that use Lake Erie as a drinking water source.
The city of Toledo has alerted residents that they have increased testing of the water.
On Thursday, officials warned residents in Carroll Township to avoid drinking township water. In the meantime, the township will be supplied by the Ottawa County Regional Water Plant.
The Lake Erie algae bloom has produced toxins that should not be ingested.

Little Battler eXperience coming to 3DS, new game for PSP
Posted on March 10, 2012 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors
The Little Battler eXperience titles have found a home on the PSP since its inception. However, the latest issue of Coro Coro is rumored to have shown that the franchise will be making its way to the 3DS.
First up, Nintendo's handheld will apparently be getting "Little Battler Experience Baku Boost". This could be an updated version of Little Battler eXperience Boost, though this hasn't been confirmed yet.
The PSP will likely see an entirely new game called "Little Battler eXperience W" and may tie into the anime that began airing in January.

Bible: Ex 10:13-19
10:13 So Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt, and then the
Lord 1 brought 2 an east wind on the land all that day and all night. 3 The morning came, 4 and the east wind had brought up 5 the locusts! 10:14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and settled down in all the territory 6 of Egypt. It was very severe; 7 there had been no locusts like them before, nor will there be such ever again. 8 10:15 They covered 9 the surface 10 of all the ground, so that the ground became dark with them, 11 and they ate all the vegetation of the ground and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Nothing green remained on the trees or on anything that grew in the fields throughout the whole land of Egypt. 10:16 12
Then Pharaoh quickly 13 summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "I have sinned 14 against the
Lord your God and against you! 10:17 So now, forgive my sin this time only, and pray to the Lord your God that he would only 15 take this death 16 away from me." 10:18 Moses 17 went out 18 from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord, 10:19 and the Lord turned a very strong west wind, 19 and it picked up the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. 20 Not one locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
Then Pharaoh quickly 13 summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "I have sinned 14 against the

Today we will be addressing a question that we have gotten from several readers: "How do you feel about other LGBT couples who say they are not called to celibacy?" We think this question is important because we live at a time where many Christian traditions have gone "on the record" about the need for LGBT people to live celibate lives.
Many people who have asked us this question indicate that they have met celibate, LGBT Christians who are very triumphant in their celibacy and avoid interacting with any other LGBT people who are not living celibate lives, or who anticipate becoming sexually active at some point in life. We would like to be clear: we reject the idea that celibate LGBT Christians should be triumphant in their celibacy. Celibate, LGBT Christians would do well to remember that all vocations are fragile and that radical hospitality lies at the heart of a celibate vocation. Lindsey has experienced the negative aftermath of triumphantly asserting one's ability to draw "right" boundaries to establish "proper" conduct. From our observations, many of the most triumphant celibate, LGBT Christians seem to glorify their ability to stay on the right side of "the line" used to define sexual acts. We believe that such people confuse sexual abstinence with the idea of celibacy as a vocation.
People enter celibate vocations by making choices. Vocational choices are influenced by a number of important factors that include, but are not limited to, one's Christian tradition, one's sense of an appropriate career pathway, one's network of relational possibilities, and one's economic circumstances. We believe it is manifestly inappropriate to assert that these factors are identical for all LGBT Christians. The purpose of one's vocation is to provide a pathway to holiness where one can learn to love and grow in Christ-likeness.
We have been blessed to know many LGBT Christian couples. The majority of these couples would assert that they do not feel called to celibacy. Furthermore, a significant faction of these couples come from Christian traditions that have some sort of provision for the blessing of committed, monogamous same-sex relationships. We have observed that triumphalism gets in the way of building relationships with people whose approaches to sexual ethics differ from one's own approach. We refuse to take the path of triumphalism and demand that these couples devote themselves to learning from us. We don't see ourselves as having all (or perhaps any) of the right answers to complex ethical questions.
When we think about faith-filled same-sex couples who do not feel they are called to celibacy, a few of our friends come to mind. We have sincerely appreciated the opportunity to get to know them more and feel privileged that they have shared their life together as a couple with us. As an LGBT Christian couple ourselves, we relate easily to many of their life experiences. As friends, we rarely discuss sexual matters. Honestly, we do not give two figs to know the intimate details of our friends' relationships. Such details are rarely relevant and can only be shared in friendships characterized by mutual respect and regard. Even in the closest of friendships, many people just aren't that interested in talking about their sex lives. We've been so encouraged by meeting other LGBT Christian couples at different life stages, and we are profoundly grateful for the ability to call these people friends. We thank God for connecting us with these couples, and we're grateful for all of the things they have taught us over the years. We'd like to share with you, our readers, some of the things we've learned from some of our LGBT friends who do not feel called to celibacy.
A commitment to staying present when things are incredibly challenging
Charlie is Lindsey's brother from another mother. Charlie is an exceptionally gifted listener, always willing to pray through some of the most difficult parts of life's journey. Whenever Lindsey or Charlie needs support, the two of them have an almost instant response to reach out to one another. You could say that this inspired Charlie to discuss with Lindsey various aspects of his relationship with Isaac when things were really difficult.
At first, both Charlie's family and Isaac's family had a hard time accepting their relationship. That's saying things a bit too kindly… Isaac wound up moving into Charlie's apartment much earlier than expected because Isaac was kicked out of the house when his family found out he was gay. Charlie worried about the potential consequences of his boyfriend living with him, but came to the conclusion that his couch was a better home than Isaac's car. As their relationship moved towards greater commitment, Charlie's family had a hard time navigating questions around whether they would support Charlie's wedding. Charlie and Lindsey spent hours on the phone. Lindsey had a huge lightbulb moment upon realizing that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Charlie's Christian parents had certainly grown in their understanding of sexual morality over the course of their relationship. All of a sudden, sexual morality became a dynamic reality rather than well-packaged gift that must always be preserved at all costs.
For us, Charlie and Isaac have always been an example of a couple overwhelmingly committed to Christ. They constantly discern whether anything in their relationship needs to shift in order to show the love of Christ more fully to the other, and inspire us to do the same.
A generous hospitality that welcomes everyone to a safe place
When we're getting ready to hang out with James and Bryan, we know that we should remember to bring the board games. All sorts of conversation can flow over Ticket to Ride or Catchphrase. James and Bryan are incredibly friendly people who have a knack at making other people feel welcome.
James and Bryan are intellectually honest, gracious, and committed to hospitality. As a couple, they've weathered the challenges of living in a long-distance relationship yet have appeared to have come out on the other side looking as fabulous as ever. The time we spent a few states apart at the beginning of our own relationship was just a few months, so we can only imagine the difficulties of maintaining a long-distance relationship for several years. We're always drawn to couples who have made such relationships work. With James' and Bryan's obvious commitment to generous conversation, we're not terribly surprised that their relationship grew and thrived. We admire how James and Bryan have searched their respective Christian traditions to discern their life together.
We have been impressed time and time again with James' and Bryan's generosity. Bryan once shared a syllabus with Sarah when they realized they taught courses with overlapping topics. They care a lot about creating safe places for LGBT Christians to discuss issues around faith, sexuality, and gender identity. Getting to know James and Bryan helps us to see a concrete example of radical hospitality lived out before us.
A patient endurance when asking difficult theological questions
Lindsey has known David for several years. David has offered one model as to how LGBT Christians could reconcile faith, sexuality, and gender identity within our Christian tradition. A high school teacher by day, David is surprisingly willing to dialog with any number of people asking hard questions about faith, sexuality, and gender identity in his free time. David and Glenn have been together for decades, providing a living witness that long-term LGBT relationships are possible.
Because David is a member of our own Christian tradition, he's been able to encourage us as we find our way. He reminds us of how to have discussions on LGBT topics within our tradition. His patience, particularly with Lindsey, has helped us develop a gracious approach even when official statements seem to do little more than frame the celibacy mandate in a very polemical manner. David and Glenn recently hosted Lindsey when Lindsey visited their city. Although we occasionally have come to differing conclusions about how to navigate aspects of our shared Christian tradition, we have been able to develop a deep respect for the faithfulness of all involved. Learning from David and Glenn often means being challenged to think outside our own sets of assumptions, and we are always glad to engage with their perspectives.
To sum up, we make a conscious choice to reject celibate triumphalism. We find the suggestion that we have nothing to learn from people in other kinds of partnerships absolutely absurd. We're so grateful that God has given us an incredible network of friends who want to share their lives with us. And we look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside even more people as we continue our journey.

Politics keeps Palestinian lovers apart, absurdly
Updated 10:00 pm, Thursday, February 20, 2003
Elia Suleiman's wry, sometimes unsettling comedy is a political allegory in deadpan black-out sketches worthy of the Theater of the Absurd, loosely hung on the story of a Jerusalem filmmaker (played by Suleiman himself).
He visits his dying father in a Nazarene hospital, picks over the scenes of a script that has an uncanny resemblance to this film and meets his Ramallah lover (Manal Khader) at the Al-Ram checkpoint that separates them (through which they cannot pass) simply to hold hands and watch the frustrated travelers and soldiers play out the bleak comedy of occupation.
Latest Entertainment Videos
Suleiman's weary expression hangs off his face as he blankly observes the craziness around him, as if he's seen it all before. He shoots his film, a sketchlike series of bizarre border disputes and brittle confrontations between belligerent neighbors, with the same attitude.
The camera hangs back in static long shots to view the volatile silent movie gags in the modern world, abstract moments of slapstick that build to inspired punch lines in an exasperated comedy of conflict.
In moments the film takes flight, literally. A balloon bearing Yasser Arafat's grinning mug gently floats past an Israeli checkpoint ("There's a balloon trying to get through. Can we shoot it down?" a soldier begs of HQ) and over the city of Jerusalem. The lyrical moment is beautiful, graceful (marred only by the limitations of his digital effects) and jarring in its ambivalent juxtaposition of images.
Even more unsettling is a choreographed chorus line of Israeli gunmen whose paper target becomes a flying Ninja warrior (played by Khader) in the strangest David and Goliath showdown you ever saw: a Palestinian "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by way of "The Matrix."
The anger and frustration underlying the comedy shoot to the surface here, but the point is ambiguous. If his anger is often directed at the Israeli military machine, he never sorts the players into good guys and bad guys. The decades-long antagonism has simply become the state of things and that divide has become the enemy.
The "Divine Intervention" of the title lies somewhere between hope and fantasy. In a world in which Santa Claus is assaulted in Nazareth, what do you have left?

Jonathan Banks Joins Cast of Better Call SaulMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Jonathan Banks is bringing Mike Ehrmantraut back from the dead.
Deadline confirms that the actor will reprise his role as Saul Goodman's occasional right-hand man in AMC's upcoming Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul.
Banks - currently appearing on Community Season 5 - will be a series regular on the new Vince Gilligan-penned, giving us a look at Mike before he became involved with Gun Fring.
Casting notes describe Mike as an-ex Philadelphia police officer who worked as the Head of Corporate Security at Los Pollos Hermano and who ended up being an "enforcer in Gustavo Fring's crystal meth operation."
Sounds about right, doesn't it?
Bob Odenkirk and Banks are the only actors set for Better Call Saul at the moment.

A recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial said Clarke's office had been "shamefully silent" about the deaths and hasn't provided records regarding outside investigations that the county is legally required to have.
"Maybe Clarke thinks the peasants of Milwaukee County don't need to know what's happening at the jail. Maybe he's hoping for a call from President-elect Donald Trump (for whom he campaigned so eagerly while people were dying in his jail) so that he can walk away from doing his job," the editorial said. "Whatever his faulty reasoning, he's wrong. Clarke owes the public answers about the deaths and about the state of inmate care at the jail. And the public deserves a sheriff who will do his job."

International Indian singer, Sunidhi Chauhan is coming to Trinidad and Tobago during the 2014 Carnival season to perform at one of the largest events in Carnival, Chutney Brass. The show is scheduled to take place tonight at the Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre. Randy Glasgow Productions (RGP) announced that the artiste who is among the leading singers in Bollywood, India, will be accompanied by her full performing troupe.
RGP CEO, Randy Glasgow said he decided to invest in bringing Chauhan because he knows that her coming to Trinidad during Carnival will first, give exposure for chutney music to a wider cross section of the international music community and also encourage a vast number of people from all over the world to come to Trinidad and Tobago to see her and some may even stay for the rest of the Carnival season.
Glasgow said over the years the Chutney Brass has seen people coming in from as far as Japan, Spain, Holland, England and Australia along with chutney music fans from Guyana, Suriname, St Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, Canada and across the United States. The promoter believes RGP will be receiving ticket bookings from Chauhan fans from many of these places as she is not scheduled to visit them any time soon.
Best known for her Hindi film songs in Bollywood. Chauhan has recorded songs for Urdu, Oriya, Punjabi, Marathi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Bhojpuri, Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati and Nepali films. Chauhan began to sing at the age of four-years-old and was discovered by a local TV anchor. She won recognition through a televised singing contest, Meri Awaz Suno, which she won, and made her entrance into playback singing with the Hindi film Shastra.
Her breakthrough was Ram Gopal Varma's film Mast, in which she sang the hit song "Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi". She has been nominated for 14 Filmfare Awards, winning it on two occasions as well as a Filmfare RD Burman Award for New Music Talent. She has won two Star Screen Awards, two IIFA Awards and one Zee Cine Award, Ram Gopal Varma's Mast, in which she sang the hit song "Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi" and three others, including the title song.
In an interview, while speaking of Mast, she said: "Whatever I am today, I owe to Mast. I met Sandeep Chowta through Sonu Nigam, and 15 days later, Mast was in my lap. I was only 16 then."
In February 2007, as part of its marketing campaign and launch of Windows Vista in India, Microsoft hired Chauhan to sing the Windows Vista Song titled "Wow is Now". This song features English and Hindi lyrics proclaiming the many 'glamorous' features of the Windows Vista operating system. Sunidhi has sung Oriya movie songs (Abhimanyu and Most Wanted) too.
Chauhan sung for the Hindi-dubbed version of Disney's movie, High School Musical songs that were sung by Vanessa Anne Hudgens in the English version. Moreover, she was the singer of the English language song "Reach Out" at the opening ceremony of the 2006 Asian Games at Doha, Qatar.
2008 was a highly successful year for the young singer, as she went on to deliver a huge number of superhit songs like "Chhaliya" (Tashan), "Rock Mahi", "Lucky Boy", "Desi Girl" (Dostana), "Dance Pe Chance" (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi), and "Race Saanson Ki" (Race) that resulted in her winning the "Kelvinator GR8! FLO Women Award 2009" for her contribution to music.
In April 2010, Chauhan joined Anu Malik and Salim Merchant as a judge on the fifth season of the immensely popular singing talent show Indian Idol 5. She also judged the sixth season of Indian Idol alongside Asha Bhosle, Anu Malik and Salim Merchant. Due to her high-pitch voice and outstanding stage performances, Sunidhi got "Chevrolet GIMA (Global Indian Music Awards) of Best Live Performer-Female".
Chauhan has collaborated with Indian singers such as Alka Yagnik, Shaan and Udit Narayan. She is known for her popular pairing with Sukhwinder Singh (in films such as Omkara and Aaja Nachle). She is most often paired with singer Sonu Nigam and with the female playback singer Shreya Ghoshal, whom critics view as a stiff competitor of Chauhan. She had done a duet with Pakistani singer Faakhir Mehmood for the album Mantra. She has collaborated with Enrique Iglesias, on a song titled "Heartbeat (India Mix)" which was included on Iglesias' album Euphoria (Special Indian Edition).
Lyricists she has worked with include Jaideep Sahni, Irshad Kamil, Gulzar, Sameer, Prasoon Joshi, Swanand Kirkire, Javed Akhtar and Anand Bakshi and the music directors include Vandemataram Srinivas, Bappi Lahiri, A R Rahman, Ilaiyaraja, Harri Jayaraj, Yuvan, Himesh Reshammiya, Anu Malik, Jatin Lalit, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Pritam Chakraborty, Rajesh Roshan, Nadeem-Shravan, Anand-Milind, Vishal-Shekhar, M M Keeravani and others.
Chauhan is one of the few female singers of the present generation who have lent their voice for most of the leading actresses in the Hindi entertainment industry, among those include Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Sridevi, Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Urmila Matondkar, Shilpa Shetty, Sushmita Sen, Shamita Shetty, Lara Dutta, Dia Mirza, Esha Deol, Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Jacqueline Fernandez, Konkona Sen Sharma, Gauhar Khan, Mumaith Khan and Rakhi Sawant. She was the main singer who lent voice for the comebacks of two leading Bollywood actresses; Kajol, in the movie Fanaa, and Madhuri Dixit in Aaja Nachle. In 2013, Sunidhi has released her first single, "Ab Laut Aa", with Sanjoy Deb in the Electronic Dance Music genre.
Top local bands Dil-e-Nadan, Karma, BMRZ, Melo Bugz, 3Veni and D Rampersad Indi Art are expected to be on the play bill tonight.

New Law Expands Opportunities for Fam Distilleries to Sell at Famers' Markets, State Fairs, County Fairs
A law was recently enacted that will allow licensed farm distilleries to sell their liquor at not-for-profit farmers' markets, the New York State Fair, and recognized county fairs. Senator Montgomery noted that this new law will help local farms to grow by providing distilleries with the same access to marketing opportunities currently allowed to licensed wineries, farm wineries, and farm breweries.
Currently farm distilleries, which are required to primarily use New York State agricultural products in their New York State labeled liquors, are allowed to sample and sell their products only on their distillery premises. On the other hand, farm breweries, farm wineries, and licensed wineries are not subject to these restrictions and are allowed to sample and sell their New York State labeled products at fairs and markets across the state.
The new law will allow farm distilleries to hold liquor tastings and sell their New York State labeled products off premise at the State Fair, recognized county fairs, and local not-for-profit farmers' markets. However, they are required to have a State Liquor Authority permit, as well as have a distillery representative on site to ensure that tastings and sales are conducted responsibly. Providing farm distilleries with the same access to potential customers and markets as other wineries and breweries will help local farms to expand and flourish in New York. The law will be effective in 180 days.

The Great Aloe Vera Experiment
While trolling my way around the web, I found an old article on using Aloe Vera gel for healing the teeth and gums. This seemed interesting, and I read and then searched for a few others. Imagine my surprise when not one but several of these articles firmly declared that using aloe gel as a substitute for toothpaste was every bit as effective as those aforementioned toothpastes!
Yup, the stuff from inside the aloe leaves was as good as toothpaste. Fights germs and everything, according to the article. Here's the link to the study I found which gives all the details of the 15 person study they did, using aloe gel directly injected into disease pockets of gums in the test subjects. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3200013/
I am more used to using aloe gel on my skin for sun burn and the like, but since like most folks I do have a bit of an issue with my teeth and no dental coverage, I figured it couldn't hurt. So I am going to give it a try.
First and foremost let me state firmly that I am not a doctor! I am just trying this on my own, so if you want to try it, I'd suggest talking to your doctor first. Now that we have that clearly established, let's proceed.
Since I have a HUGE Aloe Vera plant with lots and lots of little plants cropping up, I took several of the larger older plants and stripped the biggest leaves. The instructions for processing aloe at home advocated using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin and leaving just the clear interior gel.
That wasn't exactly a success, I have to admit. I did my best to scrape the gel from their interior before giving up and simply whirring them into submission in my blender. The result was a thick, sticky green goo. Since I mean to carry out this experiment for at least the next couple of months, I will try to have pictures of the process for you at a later date.
I then put the sticky goo into a mesh colander and set that in a large bowl to catch the drips. I wasn't aiming to remove all the outer skin of the leaves, just the biggest portion of it. The saponins in the skin have a mild laxative effect, but with the current trend for colon cleansing that is only another plus, right?
Now while my delightful alien slime was settling out, I headed back to the computer to do a little more research.
Apparently Aloe Vera gel has a lot of vitamins. Mike Adams, editor of NaturalNews.com has a very detailed article on the benefits of using Aloe Vera. He also has included links to studies and analyses of the plant and its effects. Here's the link: http://www.naturalnews.com/021858_aloe_vera_gel.html .
Once the gel had more or less separated from the gunk in the colander, I poured it into a sterilized glass bottle, labeled it and put it in my fridge. Using a shot glass, I poured a one ounce amount and swished around my mouth for several minutes. I can't say I'm fond of the texture, but the taste wasn't too bad. Kind of hard to describe, but the best way to say it would be that it tastes very 'green'—like a mix of celery and kiwi, if you can imagine that. When I was done swishing it, I swallowed the stuff; no sense letting it go to waste, right?
I even used the leftover green gunk as a facial mask, since aloe has such significant benefits for the skin. I just smeared it onto my face and let it sit for twenty minutes while writing this post. My skin is feeling nice and smooth and fresh and my mouth feels pretty good too.
I'll keep you guys updated as to the results of my Aloe experiment. So far things are in the very early stages, but if it has even half the effects that are claimed for it, this could be a very good thing. Who knew a little houseplant was so good for you? If you have ever experimented with Aloe Vera, I'd love to hear your results as well.

Origin of the name Malinska
The name Malinska originates from the water-mill built in the 15th century.
About the first visitors
The first visitors here were Austrian and Hungarian noblemen who had been coming to Malinska since 1880 during the winter months to hunt woodcock and other feathered game.
Sensa is an old folk custom being held in Dubasnica through the centuries. It is a Shepherd's Running Competition, or popularly known

The Jubilee Sheriff is the path to emancipation of humanity.
<iframe width="560″ height="315″ src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HUyCJ9bGlYw" frameborder="0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
The sheriff is the highest law authority in a county. Unfortunately, the existing sheriffs
are paid with private bank money. Therefore, they will represent the private bankers.
Private bankers' usury is what has USURPED natural human sovereignty.
"He who pays the piper calls the tune"
Humanity isn't paying law enforcement therefore it lacks self-determination.
The ONLY WAY humanity will regain autonomy is by hiring enforcers with
their money. Hour Money is based on human being's energy. Therefore,
Hour Money serves humanity rather than dominates.
Fortunately, a money system is simply pieces of paper and a data-base.
Technologically, this is simple to initiate.
Humanity must PROVE that it can self-govern by creating its own money.
Until we do this we will remain divided and conquered debt slave who
perpetually complain and remain helpless. We don't have power because
we are acting powerless.
It's time for Hour evolution!

Last night I celebrated Fat Tuesday at the Big Easy. It was exactly the sort of celebration I had envisioned: kind of low-key, but replete with beads and beer and what goes down in the books as one of my top five favorite concerts ever.
After a 13 hour drive from Colorado, dios(malos) and Matt Pond PA managed to dragged their bedraggled selves into our humble hamlet. Van trouble has been a big issue for these bands. There are several members in both bands and their equipment includes all the instruments required for a rock band, plus additional guitars, keyboards and a cello. Pond told me after the show that when they pulled into Boise, every one in both bands was exhausted, but said to themselves "Screw it. Let's put on a great show." They did.
dios(malos) played an amazing set with little time to spare. Each song flowed into the next without much talking or stopping in between. Their music is melodic pop that's clearly influenced by other music and at the same time clearly unique to them. All through their set I kept trying to figure out who they sounded like. There were a couple of Built To Spill-esque melody formations, but that was about it. It finally occurred to me that music I've heard has been influenced by dios and not the other way around. The band came across as a group with a clear vision and full confidence in each other which made watching them as entrancing as hearing them. And, their drummer kicks ass!
A few short minutes after dios left the stage, Matt Pond PA hit it. This band is WYHIWYG: What You Hear Is What You Get. I have been listening to Several Arrows Later almost to the point of obsession over the last month. To see and hearin a live settingthe songs that have been pealing out of my computer, mp3 player and car stereo was amazing. The band, as tired as they must have been, performed brilliantly. The crowd was a little subdued and, initially, the band seemed concerned, but the longer they played, the more people crowded the stage and the better the whole thing got. If you haven't heard Several Arrows Later and you like layered, melodic, poppy songs with rich sounds and even richer lyrics, you're doing yourself a major disservice. (Hell, I even bought it in vinyl, too.) It's one of the best overall bodies of music I can remember hearing in a long time and I will always treasure the opportunity to see and hear it live. And, their drummer kicked ass, too!

SU again featured in green colleges guidebook
Syracuse University is one of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the United States and Canada, according to The Princeton Review. The well-known education services company again selected SU for inclusion in the recently released second annual edition of its free downloadable book, "The Princeton Review's Guide to 311 Green Colleges: 2011 Edition."
SU joins the ranks of outstanding universities and colleges nationwide that are leading the "green" movement through their own special programs and initiatives. Some of SU's sustainability programs highlighted in the guide include:
- a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a result of signing the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC);
- using green building materials and techniques for new buildings and renovations;
- voluntarily purchasing 20 percent of its annual electricity used in the form of low-impact hydropower;
- Food Services issuing students reusable beverage bottles for refills and carry-outs; and
- sustainable transportation initiatives such as a Park and Ride program, carpool and ride-share programs and a Zipcar program.
Created by The Princeton Review in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), "The Princeton Review's Guide to 311 Green Colleges" is the only free, comprehensive guidebook profiling institutions of higher education that demonstrate a notable commitment to sustainability in their academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation. The guide has profiles of the colleges that provide application information plus facts, stats and writeups reporting on the schools' environmentally related policies, practices and academic offerings.
The Princeton Review chose the schools for this guide based on a survey of administrators at hundreds of colleges that the company polled in 2010 about their school's sustainability initiatives. The free guide can be downloaded at www.princetonreview.com/green-guide.aspx and www.centerforgreenschools.org/greenguide.
"College-bound students are increasingly interested in sustainability issues," says Robert Franek, senior vice president of publishing at the Princeton Review. "Among 8,200 college applicants who participated in our spring 2011 'College Hopes & Worries Survey,' nearly seven out of 10 (69 percent) said having information about a school's commitment to the environment would influence their decision to apply to or attend the school," he adds. "Together with the USGBC, we are pleased to make this free resource available to all students seeking to attend colleges that practice, teach and support environmentally responsible choices. We highly recommend the colleges in this book."
For more information about SU's sustainability initiatives, including its Climate Action Plan, which is designed to reduce the campus's carbon footprint, visit the University's Sustainability website at http://greenuniversecity.syr.edu. To discuss a green idea to implement on campus, contact SU's Sustainability Division at email@example.com.

|Reviews for Shadow Puppets
| Darkhymns chapter 1 . 7/16/2013
Ah, I don't think I've seen another story that takes this aspect of Caramon, at least not in a convincing way. There's a lot of love and hate between them, and it can easily slide into either extreme given the right circumstances. Even with Caramon killing him, you're still able to evoke a lot of sympathy for him, especially with how Raistlin is described in his death: "There was no love in the features, no compassion in the now sightless eyes. Caramon might have been holding a bitter enemy, rather than his own twin brother." Raistlin had a lot of darkness inside him, and I can see how that could bring out Caramon's own when it became too much to love him anymore.
Overall, I'm really glad you gave Caramon such a thoughtful and dark piece. And the last line hurts! You did a great job with this story.
| shealakiah chapter 1 . 8/25/2012
Legends being one of my favorites of the Dragonlance series, this story especially tore at me. The final line had me.
The writing is crisp and clean, and you captured the twins perfectly. A lot of writers make them too out of character, but you stayed very well with the way Weis and Hickman wrote them. My favorite characters. Love it.
| Guest chapter 1 . 7/23/2012
| Elia chapter 1 . 7/22/2012
Sad and touching. It could have gone this way...
I like it how you did not try to make Raistlin appear good. How he undoubtedly had some redeeming features, at this point in the story he had buried them very deep to capable of all he did or tried to do.
A well written piece. Thank you!

Diplo spent Grammy weekend crossing musical genres, from playing with good friend Skrillex at the dubstep DJ's private party to hitting the hottest parties. "I was at the Cash Money party, went to see Ellie Goulding," he told Rolling Stone. "To see all these different crews and all the people mingling, it's awesome."
For Diplo, it was a hint of things to come: "I think 2013 is going to be all about musical fusion – everybody coming together. All the lines have been crossed the last year, so I'm glad to be part of that," he said.
The 25 DJs That Rule the Earth
He cites his own upcoming Major Lazer record, Free the Universe, which features Bruno Mars, Wyclef, Tyga and many more, as an example of that musical fusion. Those kinds of collaborations (which also include Shaggy, Santigold and Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig) are possible in 2013 because of the rise of dance music, he said.
"We have a big voice. I think a lot of artists are willing to take a chance on working with us," he said.
He plans to begin touring in March for Free the Universe. "I'm touring it from SXSW all the way to the end of the record," he said.
The March kickoff will give him time to recover. "I'm getting surgery tomorrow because I have a meniscus tear from playing basketball," he told us. He said the injury stemmed from some dirty play. "Don't ever play at 24-Hour Fitness in Hollywood – everybody is so mean, they just foul you all the time. Some guy was hitting me – I was killing them, scoring on threes and dunking on everybody – and the guy hit me."
He might have been exaggerating his skills a little: "I can touch the rim, [but] I can't hold a basketball and touch the rim at the same damn time."

I like long words (I might even say I was egregiously polysyllabic in my discourse) and when Accretionary Wedge #35 asked me for my favourite geological word I knew it had to be one of those compound names based on dead languages: something like porphyroblast.
A porphyroblast is a mineral found in a metamorphic rock that has grown larger than the surrounding minerals. As we'll see later, the growing bit is important.
Porphyroblasts of many minerals can be found, but the classic mineral that forms them is garnet. It's always a visual treat; in hand-specimen it forms handsome red lumps and in thin-section it goes dramatically black under crossed-polars. Yum.
Garnet is a keen participant in many metamorphic reactions and the mineral chemistry of garnets is such that the relative amounts of Calcium, Iron, Magnesium and Managnese it contains can vary throughout a single grain. This means that garnet porphyroblasts can be little time-capsules: the way in which their composition varies shows how the conditions under which they formed changed over time. A typical example is where the garnet core formed under conditions of lower temperature and pressure compared with the rim. As the rock was buried and heated as part of, perhaps, an episode of mountain building, the garnet slowly grew, changing in composition over time. Studying the composition across the grain now allows us to glimpse a part of the rock's history that is otherwise lost.
Building mountains involves squashing rocks as well as heating them, which leads to another way in which porphyroblasts can be time-capsules; they can contain fossil fabrics.
The metamorphic reactions that form garnet typically involve the breakdown of minerals like feldspar and mica. As garnet grows at the expense of these minerals, it fills the space they used to fill. Sometimes the garnet grows around minerals that aren't involved in the metamorphic reaction, such as quartz. The quartz grains end up as inclusions with the garnet. If the rock matrix the garnet grows in has a fabric then this is preserved within the garnet, even if the matrix outside has been destroyed or rotated. Sometimes this 'fossil fabric' is folded, or forms beautiful spiral patterns.
There is a long and sometimes heated scientific controversy about the exact meaning of these inclusion fabrics; some believe that the orientation of these fabrics doesn't change and that the garnet has stayed fixed while the surrounding fabric has been rotated. Others disagree, but all agree that porphyroblasts provide an important window into the structural history of metamorphic rocks.
Sometimes porphyroblasts include non-tectonic fabrics, such as below:
What a difference a letter makes
A close runner-up in my favourite geological word stakes is porphyroclast. This is also a mineral found in metamorphic rocks that is larger than the surrounding minerals. Unlike a porphyroblast which grew bigger in absolute terms, a porphyroclast is relatively bigger because all the surrounding grains have been made smaller.
The best place to find porphyroclasts is in mylonites, which are rocks that have been intensely deformed in a ductile fashion. Mylonites are found in places, like the bottom of thrust sheets, where huge amounts of deformation (aka strain) have taken place. This strain has been accommodated, not by faulting, but my 'smearing out' the rocks. Smearing rocks means smearing individual grains and this process is associated with reduction in grain-size. The processes that allow smearing (various forms of creep) work at the level of the crystal lattice and so are highly dependent on the type of mineral.
So, if a quartz rich rock is highly deformed the quartz grains may deform relatively easily and end up as a fine-grained matrix. Consider a feldspar grain caught up in a shear-zone. It may be too cold for it to deform internally, in contrast its quartz neighbours. The quartz grains start being smeared out and reduce in size but a feldspar grain doesn't and so becomes a porphyroclast.
Note the difference with porphyroblasts which grow bigger than their neighbours, instead porphyroclasts stay big while everything around them gets small, (a bit like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard).
Deformation in shear-zones is often asymmetrical (simple rather than pure shear), which means there is an element of rotation to the deformation. Sitting in the middle of this, porphyroclasts sometimes get rotated, which makes them useful shear-sense indicators.
Phenocryst, porphyroblast or porphyroclast? A case-study from my kitchen
In my kitchen I have a 'granite' worktop which contains large feldspar grains that are generally bigger than the surrounding minerals (not dramatically so, but bear with me). Ask the man who fitted it and he would tell you that he sold me some granite, which means that these large crystals must be phenocrysts, usually minerals that crystallise out from the magma first, making a porphyritic rock. If the phenocrysts clump together then the rock is glomeroporphyritic which is my second favourite geological word. Try saying glomeroporphyritic three times fast: good test of sobriety I reckon, if your tongue can cope with that you are safe to operate heavy machinery.
This may be granite to an architect but to a geologist it is not. It is not even a granitoid as it is a metamorphic rock, an orthogneiss of some sort. Its full of garnet, both as large grains and as inclusions with the feldspar. In places the feldspar shows evidence of multiple phases of growth. So, are these feldspars porphyroblasts perhaps?
Maybe, but rocks are three dimensional and I've only shown an image from the top of slab. What about the sides?
Well that's a rather different picture. There is a fairly strong gneissic texture within these rocks; so these are porphyroclasts then?
These feldspars in my work surface, are they phenocrysts, porphyroblasts or porphyroclasts? On balance I think a bit of all three and therefore none of them. It seems likely to me that these were originally large feldspar grains within the original granite and so phenocrysts. There is evidence of recrystallisation which may have made them bigger, but not necessarily much bigger. Looking at the ends of the slab there are feldspar grains wrapped by the fabric so they've been deformed like porphyroclasts, but there's been a some subsequent annealing so there isn't a particularly dramatic contrast in grain size.
So try as I might, I can't accurately use any of these lovely words to describe my work-top, but at least it's still good to make pastry on.

Craft designed their Pro Zero Extreme fabric for extreme intensity riding in cold weather. And while these base layers are not meant to be limited to extreme weather conditions, we have found them to be cozier than most cycling specific base layers. We've used them in long and short sleeved versions, and found them to fill our needs across a wide range of temperatures from 25-55 degrees Fahrenheit. We have them both here in our Pro Zero Extreme Base Layer Women's Combo Pack. With the pair, you'll be armed and ready to battle the elements this winter.Craft Pro Zero Extreme was first designed for the Swedish Nationall Nordic Skiing team. In the early and late season, they often skied in cool conditions where they were generating enormous body heat through intense efforts. They needed a base layer that would trap in warmth when they were skiing at a moderate pace, but that could wick and vent like mad when their effort level was pegged. Hence, Pro Zero Extreme was born.Pro Zero Extreme is built with hexachannel Pro Cool fabric against your skin, identical to what you get in a summer weight Pro Cool base layer. This hexachannel layer is paired with Craft's hollow-channeled Thermolite fabric to help trap in body heat on cool days -- two layers into one for ultimate performance. Both versions have a seamless torso design, so a tight-fitting jersey won't cause your base layer to chew into your skin. Adding to the comfort is the fact that Craft uses what they call 3D cutting lines. You won't see any straight seams on the Pro Zero Extreme base layers. The panels and seams are curved identically to the shape of a cyclist reaching for the handlebars.The Craft Pro Zero Extreme Women's Base Layer Combo Pack is available in Black or White in sizes X-Small through Large. The pack includes a long sleeved and a short sleeved base layer.
