Is there any way to prevent religious debates from turning into a big fight?
People discuss lots of things, politics, sports, anything
But when they discuss religious opinions, most of the time, they get all angry and try to win even with fight.
why is that? why that can't be a normal subject?
and more important, How can we prevent this?
Closing Statement from Farokh Shahabi Nezhad
Tnx everyone for their replies. I enjoyed learning from different aspect for this problem.
I can only conclude this : Don't argue with someone unless they are open minded and ready to be changed and challenged.

Feb 8 2013: Let's acknowledge that in some areas of the world this is a luxury because to debate religion can be life threatening. This liberty to question religion has been subject to the human history and condition in other areas of the world as well.
The debate can become emotional because it can be so personal. Religion consists of thousands of different denominations around the world. Up until relatively recently (Charles Darwin) the debate was between religious leaders and scholars because the issues centered on the nature of the details in how best to worship a supreme being.
Biology with its implied evolution of our existence from nonhuman parent stock has been a frontal assault on the whole question of religion. Religions share in common a belief system based on the idea that a supernatural being was responsible for our creation. These two concepts do not mesh well.
The fact is tradition and commitment has a big influence on our religious beliefs, but does not immune us from recognizing changes that are going on around us. The freedom and liberty to voice an opinion is what make us civilized and grow. It is best to be civil in presenting what one has to say and despite the conflict, just agree to disagree.
The freedom to debate is a great liberty. To pick a fight only hardens us.

Esto Femina – Esto Femina is, first and foremost, a university household for women. The main focus is promoting Catholic womanly virtue, regardless of particular vocation, and instilling an ever-present attention to our coming spousal relationship with Christ. As Mary is the purest representation of true femininity, the sisters of Esto Femina will, of course, seek to emulate her. The Esto Femina plan for life works to counteract cultural trends that demoralize woman, by instead emphasizing: purity, chastity, modesty and prayer. In order to fulfill these ojectives, Esto Femina emphasizes the following seven virtues (In honor of the "Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary"): Sisterhood, Prayer, Chastity in union with Modesty, Charity, Patience, Piety, and Self-Sacrifice. By way of these virtues, the sisters of Esto Femina will help one another to reflect the true character of Catholic women and act as daughters of Christ. While Esto Femina acts as a cohesive and supportive sisterhood, it is still a responsibility of each sister to personally pursue the attainment of such character in a committed fashion.

Is love a rational process?
While speaking with a friend the other day, he told me this: "I don´t believe in love because love is a rational process". I was in shocked as complete believer of "romantic love". Since then...I couldn´t stop reading and wonder...Am I wrong?? I have being living 32 years old believing in love and then love is just a reponse to values??
It is with a person's sense of life that one falls in love—with that essential sum, that fundamental stand or way of facing existence, which is the essence of a personality??
One falls in love with the embodiment of the values that formed a person's character, which are reflected in his widest goals or smallest gestures, which create the style of his soul—the individual style of a unique, unrepeatable, irreplaceable consciousness. It is one's own sense of life that acts as the selector, and responds to what it recognizes as one's own basic values in the person of another. It is not a matter of professed convictions (though these are not irrelevant); it is a matter of much more profound, conscious and subconscious harmony???
Then...my colleagues...is love just a rational process??? I have being waiting all my life for something that at the end is just a rational process of selection as if i was going to the market and select what I am going to eat the rest of the next "let´s say" one month, one year, all life ??

Oct 9 2012: Love is perhaps the most logical response to lust. People often get love and lust confused. Lust is the physical need, love is the emotional need. Some people are skilled at making the physical feel like the emotional. They take the rush you feel with lust and forfeit the reality of what they need from their partner.
Neither though are rational decisions entirely.
The only rational decision you can make is who to marry whether you love them or not. You can rationalize what your life will be like with the different people in your life. Will you be able to pay your bills or will they spend all the money you make and never keep a job? Never make a life long decision when you haven't rationalized it, which is why a spontaneous Vegas wedding usually ends in divorce.

I Was Just Thinking...
Three 'cowgirls' — or is it 'horsewomen?'
The foal, Romeo

Three cowgirls ...or shall I say "horsewomen"?
Two ladies, Michele and Barbara were getting their hair colored. Well, we say "colored" but maybe the word is "dyed", hence the name of the salon. "Curl up and Dye". I say "beauty shop". You say "hair salon". But I am old-fashioned.
Michele and Barbara both live on a ranch and love horses, board horses, and trains horses, like Jettie who does our hair-the hair stylist. Michele is Jettie's partner on her ranch of Arabian Horses. The ranch is Kindred Spirits Ranch in Wilson County. Barbara is from Kentucky and raised thoroughbred horses for years. Now she is retired and living in Wilson County, but still has a horse and is a member of several trail-riders groups, so she rides all the time loves horses.
The women talked about their horses, training and riding them, and Michele
described the birth of a foal two weeks ago, which was surprising to them, turned out to be a mule! I had already heard the story from Jettie, but it was Michele's filly that had the foal, She had bought it from a horse trader last September, and man didn't know the horse was pregnant. It was months before they knew the filly was going to have a baby, and they didn't know what the foal would look like. I found out horses are pregnant for 11 months!
Jettie kept teasing her that it was going to be a mule, Well, the salon was full of laughter as Michele described the birth and how the foal came out head first with big eyes and very long ears! They were very shocked and described the scene and how they were laughing hysterically when the foal finally came out. She was expecting a pretty little baby horse and she had a pretty little baby mule.
They named him Romeo, and they love him. They said they have already had people wanting to buy Romeo. But they will keep him.
As we all laughed at the story, I looked at the three women, Jettie, Michele and Barbara, clad in jeans and cowboy boots, and I could see their boots all worn, dirty, dusty, had seen better days. I was thinking to myself, if those boots could talk, they would tell the stories of women who spend most of their time feeding horses, doctoring horses, riding horses, training horses, nurturing horses, worrying about their horses when they were sick or hurt, but mostly loving them.
Those boots told me more about those three "cowgirls" than words would ever say.
When I went to Tractor Supply last week, I ran into Jettie and Michele. It was a hot day in Floresville, and the girls were in a shirts, shorts and those old worn dirty cowboy boots and they looked gorgeous. They had come in for feed for the horses..Jettie said it was hot enough for shorts, but they had to wear boots to protect them from rattlesnakes, thorns and whatever else was on the ground, because tennis shoes were useless on a ranch.
I wish I had had my camera that day and yesterday, to capture the three horsewomen who were very happy with their life doing what they love. I saw them as Strong Texas Women.
When you ask God to guide you every day and lead you to the people He wants you to talk to, life is a blast, and exciting, and you don't have time to feel sorry for yourself or feel lonely.When you love people as I do, I am content with my life. I decided years ago, I will bloom where I am planted. And right now I am planted in Wilson County.
I love living in a small town and on the edge of ranches and farms. I am so glad I came back to my roots!

The Golden Guernsey dairy processing plant in Waukesha told its employees on Friday not to report to work on Saturday. The company president later confirmed that the plant had closed.

GNC: Health Products, Healthy Stock
George is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Overview
GNC Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNC) has seen its stock soar 37.3% YTD, significantly buoyed by its positive earnings for the first quarter of 2012. On April 25, GNC reported EPS of $0.60, beating estimates by $0.08; it also reported revenue of $624M, which beat analyst estimates by $38M and constituted a 23% increase YOY. Moreover, same store sales increased 15.8% in domestic company-owned stores, representing the Company's 27th consecutive quarter of positive same store sales growth.
However, GNC has not been without its share of negative developments. Recently, it has been adversely affected by the FDA's crackdown on supplements with the stimulant DMAA, which are bestsellers among fitness enthusiasts. DMAA is an ingredient which the FDA claims could lead to cardiovascular and blood pressure complications. GNC is currently facing a lawsuit concerning a DMAA-based product and has recently seen the U.S. military pull several DMAA-based products from the GNC stores situated on military bases. Despite the controversy surrounding DMAA, GNC continues to sell DMAA-based products.
The Niche
GNC is a specialty retailer of health and wellness products that sells products made under its GNC proprietary brand as well as under third-party brands. GNC products range from vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplement products to sports nutrition and diet products.
One of the biggest appeals of GNC right now is its proprietary brand business. This business not only differentiates GNC from its competitors, but it also helps promote brand loyalty among customers who often cannot find the same products elsewhere in other vitamin/health retailers. Moreover, GNC's proprietary brand business is extremely profitable, as GNC produces its own products and then sells them with much higher profit margins than simply selling third-party brands. Thus, an extremely positive development in GNC's first quarter report was its announcement that sales from proprietary GNC brands accounted for nearly 60% of total sales. GNC President and CEO Joe Fortunato notes that the increase in proprietary sales "will increase our margins." One significant product driving this increase in proprietary sales is the Total Lean brand, which has found huge success in the weight management marketplace.
Moreover, GNC has also distinguished itself from other competitors by also emphasizing the online experience. In its first quarter of 2012, GNC saw a 34.1% growth rate in sales from GNC.com as the website remains a hit with a large segment of GNC's consumers. GNC is also aggressively cementing and expanding its presence online; on August 31, 2011, GNC acquired LuckyVitamin.com, a discount vitamin site. GNC's development of its online business is crucial because, as shown by the growth of such e-commerce companies as Amazon.com and eBay, more and more consumers depend on online transactions instead of visiting brick-and-mortar shops.
GNC is broadening its presence through partnerships with other organizations and people as well. One of its most significant partnerships is with major drug store Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD). This strategic alliance, formed in 1999, has resulted in the creation of more than 2,125 GNC "store-within-a-store" locations inside Rite-Aid establishments as well as a line of vitamins and nutritional supplements called PharmAssure™. More recently, in April 2012, GNC announced a partnership with Mark Wahlberg to develop, market, and sell a nutritional supplement line named MARKED. In May 2012, GNC became the presenting sponsor and exclusive sports nutrition provider to the 2012 ESPNHS Games. These partnerships and strategic alliances could prove to be extremely beneficial for GNC in the long run, not only increasing its presence in terms of store locations but also in terms of generating publicity.
In terms of its niche in the stock market right now, GNC is currently positioned as a very favorable play on not only the health of the company, but the robustness of the vitamin sector. In fact, at its current PE of 23, GNC is more attractive than its competitor Vitamin Shoppe Inc. (NYSE: VSI), which has a PE of 29.6. On May 17, Deutsche Bank actually downgraded Vitamin Shoppe to a Hold from Buy; one of the reasons was their belief that Vitamin Shoppe was trading at a premium multiple to GNC, a development which Deutsche Bank believed was unjustified.
The Results
GNC is currently firing on all cylinders in terms of financial performance. Its EPS increased 82% YOY from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012. Moreover, in its last three quarters, GNC has reported an average EPS growth rate of 84%. Estimates for the current quarter are strong and the consensus estimate is that GNC will report an EPS that constitutes a 33% YOY increase. From a broader perspective, GNC is expected to report an annual EPS increase of 38.41%, which, if fulfilled, would mark the fifth consecutive year of annual EPS growth for GNC. In terms of profitability, GNC has a solid annual ROE of 20.1% and an annual Pre-Tax Margin of 12.2% (a bit on the low side).
A not-so-stellar component of GNC's financials is its 3-Year Sales Growth Rate, which comes in at a paltry 9%. However, sales seem to have picked up as of late: last quarter, GNC reported a 23% increase in sales YOY. Joe Fortunato has stated that sales from new products have exceeded historical rates, while cross selling has also increased: 40% of customers that bought sports nutrition products also bought vitamins last quarter.
The Verdict
Overall, GNC has a lot of positive factors going for it and its stock has significant upside potential. As for the recent DMAA controversy, JPMorgan analysts recently pointed out that DMAA only makes up a mid-single-digit percentage of GNC sales and called the recent weakness in GNC stock a "buying opportunity." GNC has also experienced 3 consecutive quarters of increasing fund ownership and saw a 26% increase in fund ownership in its first quarter of 2012. I heavily recommend that prospective investors look more into GNC's operations and formulate their own decisions.

PORT ST. LUCIE - Just seven months into breaking ground, Traditional Medical Center held a topping-out ceremony in Port St. Lucie on Oct. 30.
The highlight of the celebration was placing the building's final beam at the top of the hospital. The beam traveled the city, receiving signatures from hospital employees, as well as patients of Martin Health System.
"It is exciting to watch this hospital take shape," said Mark Robitaille, president of Martin Health System. "We are grateful to everyone who has partnered with us on this project."
The hospital is expected to sit on 20 acres of land near Torrey Pines and the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute in Tradition. It will have more than 200,000 square feet of space and open with 90 beds, with the possibility of expanding to up to 300 beds.
The new hospital is also expected to generate 400 jobs by the time the facility opens, with recruitment for those jobs beginning the middle of next year.
Part of its medical goals is to be part of ongoing research at the nearby facilities.
"The community has been very fortunate to have all the elements come together here," said Guillermo Abesada-Terk, medical director of clinical research for Martin Health Center. "Research is critical to our efforts."
Dr. Abesada-Terk spoke to the crowd of more than 100 people about recent cancer clinical trials and various cancer research the medical center has been a part of with its new neighbors.
"We are trying to bridge what we do in the laboratory to what we do bedside," he said. "We have an incredibly dedicated team."
"It's coming along," said Scott Samples, public information coordinator for Martin health Systems. "We broke ground in March, and we anticipate completion by the end of 2013, with the finish date in January 2014."

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
Alabama's community colleges are asking the state for more money.
The 29 percent increase would add up to about $408-million for the 2013-14 budget.
The colleges currently have a $316-million budget from the education trust fund.
According to the system's website, about 100,000 people enroll in community colleges for credit courses.
Governor Robert Bentley gave his opinion about the funding requests.
"We want to adequately fund work force training, and we want to fund our two year college systems, but certainly everyone wants more money. And we're going to have money this year in education appropriations," he said.
Bentley said they'll have to look at all the funding requests and see where the money will best be utilized.

text: Hello all I'm emkuf I'm 26 years old at this moment and I live in Anchorage Alaska, I drive a 2008 Subaru Impreza with a 2.5i with very little options. I'm not that great with much car stuff so bare with me. I use my car on my days off to deliver the Anchorage Daily news. I love the how well the car does in the rain I have yet to try it in the snow but I look forward to it. Since my side job does put alot of wear and tear on cars I'm hoping to get 2 older Subaru's in the future to work on and maintain. I'm thinking of something like a Legacy wagon or an old Subaru XT. That I could use in place of my 2008 Impreza for Delivering the Anchorage Daily News. Anyways I hope to learn alot from you as well as be welcomed in your online community.

Christmas Abbott you are WOW. Love the pictures.
I've gotten a few messages about people wanting to join a CrossFit box, but wanting to up their fitness level or that they want to be in better shape before they start. Or something along those lines. This seems to be a common misconception among most those who only see the crazy, fit athletes who compete in the Games. This is certainly not true. When I started CrossFit I was so out of shape that just running around the block and the simplest exercises were excruciating.
I'll admit, the first month or so, I felt like I was gonna die. But, after that, I started to see improvements and the running and stuff started to get easier. I started getting stronger and faster. Before I started I chatted with one of the coaches and he stated that once you start, you'll get addicted. The high you get after finishing a workout is unbelievable. You look at the board and see your name with your score or your time written up there, and you say to yourself: 'Wow! I did that! I made it through that!' It's what keeps you coming back, day in and day out. You want to be there. It becomes your home away from home. You come to love the people around you and not only do you compete with them, you want to also seem them succeed. You compete with yourself too. You see just how far you can push your body and your mind. And then they'll ask for a little bit more. And you'll do it. Because you want to. Because you want that feeling of accomplishment. The feeling you get when you PR a lift, a WOD, or doing a movement that before you hadn't been able to achieve. It's uplifting.
I've been doing this a year, and I'm nowhere near where I want to be in my CrossFit journey. I still have work to do. I still want to become a better athlete. A better person. A stronger person. CrossFit has helped me a ton with every aspect of my life. For that, I will forever be grateful to my coaches and my fellow CrossFitters. It's hard to imagine my life now without CrossFit. So if any of you are even thinking that CrossFit might be for you, but you're intimidated by the workouts or the crazy, strong, fit people that are the 'faces' of CrossFit. Don't be. CrossFit is about your own personal fitness journey. No one else's.

A former budget official and aide to former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley will take over later this month as Mayor Rahm Emanuel's new chief of staff.
Lisa Schrader, 41, will replace Theresa Mintle. She resigned last week after two years on the job.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports Schrader was a spokeswoman for the budget office under Daley, who retired in 2011 after 22 years. She then worked as deputy budget director, deputy chief financial officer and moved up to deputy chief of staff.
In Emanuel's administration, she was chief operating officer. Schrader takes over her new job March 15.
Schrader grew up in Ohio and graduated from Miami University. She's also worked previously for the Democratic National Committee.
She tells the newspaper she's learned a lot from Emanuel.

If you watch me at all on the Q, I am sure you have heard me say "The family that prays together, stays together."

I was finally coming to terms with the brutal winter we've had, and then it snowed in April! I thought "that's it I'm booking a vacation!" I don't know if this is dramatic, but I think Mother Nature might have it out for me. Here's how our latest family vaca went down:
Day 1: Our vacation got off to the right start as we spent our first day soaking up the sun on the beach. While the Littles took on the waves with their boogie boards, I sat with for hours with a new book and my toes in the sand.
{Cue the Go-Go's "Vacat... Continue Reading
Instead of putting the Littles on a COMPLETE sugar-high, we skip the traditional Easter Basket candy and decorate a cake together. We've been doing it for years and I love to see how different each cake turns out as the Littles get older and their cake decorating ideas AND skills mature.
Here are some pictures from this year's cake decorating. The theme: A Day at the Bunny Races! :-)
Because bringing the Littles to the grocery store usually results in WAY too many snacks and lots of whining, I usually pick up the ingredients and candy toppings myself and let them work their magic... Continue Reading

An idea to absorb the carbon dioxide in the air
Hai i am david working as junior mechanical engineer .. I am proposing an ideat how to decrease the air pollution..air is polluted by mainly carbon dioxide emitted by many vehicles ...as we know all castic soda (sodium hydroxide ) absorb the co2..so that if we made a box having suction fan ..these set up mounted on long hallow verticle tube ..these total equipment construct in between the road having heavy traffick ..co2 entrapped by fan and going to inside the box and absorbed by the castic soda ..if the castic soda is unable to absorb the co2 we wil replaced by using long verticle tube ..box having one light .so that it wil act as a stree lights ..these process is a cyclic process ..we wil construct these a distance of 10 mts .all tubes are connected to main long horizantal tube supplies the castic soda ..so that we wil entrap co2 by these method

on my farm i have a one acre pond with a 1/4 hp airaetor bubbling from the deepest point 10 ft
in the summer the surface temperatre can reach 80 f degrees without the aerator with the aerator on the temperature rarely gets above 75 f degrees
since ocean surface temperatures pacific have been blamed for most of the extreme weather in the united states and very little fresh water gets to these mid ocean hot spots i think working on temperature control will be a lot more productive than trying to control an otherwise good gas by enforcng draconian economic controls on our entire economy. and then we can discuss the shaky scientific data that warming is really happening, or how to control chinas coal fired energy
i read a nathan myrvold article on pumping sulphur dioxide up 100000 ft over the north pole to eat the carbon dioxide shield in place like mt pinotubo did when it erupted in 1990
both methods have the avantage of being quickly and easily regulated to maintain goal temps

Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
The IRS issued proposed Regulations on the 3.8% Medicare Surtax imposed on investment income. Tony Nitti, a columnist for Forbes Magazine has a very good initial take on these proposed regulations. I would suggest reading the column to get a good idea of the major issues involved, but I am going to recap the major ones pertaining to most farmers:
There are many other proposed items in the Regulations and we will keep you posted in the next few weeks, but since the law will start applying in less than a month, we wanted to get this quick synopis to you now.
These are proposed regulations and subject to public comment. However, based on history, major changes to the IRS position can be somewhere between slim and none.

Zakk Wylde 's stolen guitar has been found. The custom-made Gibson Les Paul -- featuring the Black Label Society frontman's signature bull's-eye graphics -- was turned in by the owner of Chicago's Royal Pawn Shop, who purchased it ten or so days after it was reported stolen from Wylde's unlocked tour bus.
The owner of the shop, Randy Cohen , was notified of the theft via a police bulletin right after it occurred but tells the Chicago Tribune that he had forgotten about it when a man brought it into his shop, the previous subject of the reality show Hardcore Pawn: Chicago . According to the paper Cohen held the guitar for the required 30 days, but when he was preparing to place it for sale in the shop he realized it was likely worth far more than the $50 he paid for it. He was certainly correct -- the Pelham Blue Les Paul was one of two bull's-eye guitars made for the guitarist about four years ago and is worth roughly $10,000.
Cohen then contacted a local music shop whose staff quickly ID'ed the guitar as belonging to Zakk, whose manager Blasko was notified and said, "All I need to know was that it was found. That's good news."
There's no word on the identity of the man who sold it to the pawn shop but the shop owner says his identification was checked and recorded per Illinois state law. Police are working to track him down.

Graphic Design BFA
Admission to the Department of Art and Design
Prof. John Luttropp, 973-655-4163
University Admission Contact:
Erin Samples, 973-655-4331
Portfolio Review Guidelines for Graphic Design
After complying with the initial guidelines for applying to an art and design major, the next-step is to participate in a Portfolio Interview for the Graphic Design major. The Portfolio Interview is an opportunity to present your artistic work in person* to the faculty and learn more about your intended major. (Note: As there are no portfolio reviews for the BFA in Graphic Design in June, July, or August, you must make sure you've completed your interview prior to June 1).
Your Graphic Design application/portfolio must include the following:
- One page biographical statement that tells us who you are, how you became interested in graphic design, your goals for a career in the field, and what you hope to accomplish in our program.
- Selection of at least 15 and no more than 20 pieces of original art and design work. Applicants are advised to review the department's overall Portfolio Preparation Guidelinesfor studio applicants prior to attending the interview. Ideally portfolios should include some graphic design work, but may also contain original 2-D or 3-D artwork. Graphic design portfolios should be presented neatly in book form or as separate pieces, either well-protected in plastic sleeves or separately mounted onto boards. We expect a professional presentation. Portfolios submitted by transfer applicants should consist primarily of graphic design projects.
- Sketchbook or loose sketches showing preliminary ideas for projects. We want to see how you develop and refine your ideas. Transfer applicants must include thumbnail sketches and preliminary comps for all graphic design projects.
- Photocopy of your high school or college transcript.
*Note to out-of-town applicants: Where long-distance travel for an in-person interview is prohibitive, the department may explore alternative options of presenting the portfolio. Please contact the Program Admission Coordinator if circumstances apply.
| Back to top |
The Interview
Portfolio interviews are conducted by one or more graphic design faculty or alumni. Interviews generally take fifteen to thirty minutes: they give applicants an opportunity to discuss their work, ask questions, and see our facilities. Family and friends are not allowed to be a part of the interview, but may ask questions afterwards. Transfer applicants who bring a copy of their transcripts will be advised about where to begin in our program.
There are three potential outcomes of the portfolio interview for Freshman Applicants:
- Candidates who show strong potential for success in the program will be accepted as BFA in Graphic Design majors.
- Applicants who show strength in art but do not have sufficient graphic design work in their portfolio may be accepted to the BA in Fine Arts, Studio Concentration and may reapply to the BFA in Graphic Design after taking beginning-level graphic design courses at MSU.
- Applicants that do not show potential for success in the major will not be accepted.
- A maximum of nine credits of 100- or 200-level graphic design coursework taken at other institutions may be accepted as Major Studio Courses in the BFA in Graphic Design program. Equivalent transfer courses for New Jersey Community Colleges can be found at www.njtransfer.org.
- After being notified of a request for a portfolio review, transfer applicants must email a link to their portfolio web site (or email a PDF portfolio that includes sketches and completed graphic design projects), bibliographical statement, and scans of college transcripts. PDFs must be under 5MB in size and must be emailed to Professor John Luttropp. If a transfer applicant is found to meet the expectations of the program, he or she will be contacted for an in-person interview.
There are two potential outcomes of the portfolio interview for Transfer Applicants:
- Candidates who meet the equivalent skills and expectations for success in our program will be accepted as BFA in Graphic Design majors.
- Applicants who do not show potential for success in the major will not be accepted.
Admissions Note: Only students who have submitted an application to the university and have been invited to a portfolio review will be considered for the Graphic Design major. Following the portfolio interview, the Graphic Design program will forward results to the Office of Admissions, which will then notify students of their admission status. Questions about your application and admission status should be directed to the Office of Admissions at 973-655-7063.

By the time Franco consolidated his control of a unified Spain, Juan Pujol knew how to lie. He knew how to hide. He knew how to flee and connive and take measure of the men he encountered. He saw firsthand the cruelties of both the communists and the fascists. He had faced death and survived. In other words, he realized there was more to him than he thought possible. And when a conflict more terrible than civil war began to brew, the former deserter felt the call for service. In his own words when reflecting on Hitler: "I had the idea that this man was a demon, a man who could completely destroy humanity." The only question was how the poultry salesman might best serve the effort. As it turned out, the very skills that kept him out of one war would make him a decisive force in another.
He became a spy. Not in the submit-a-résumé-and-wait kind of way, but rather, he simply decided that he was a spy and that was that.

Southampton hope to be head and shoulders above Swansea
With confidence high after two consecutive victories, Southampton manager Ronald Koeman takes his side to the season's surprise package so far. Swansea City, managed by former Southampton trainee Garry Monk, were criticised after appointing their then club captain, but Monk has proved himself more than capable, rejuvenating the Swans after Michael Laudrup's departure and starting this campaign in ruthless fashion.

Twenty-seven school children whose parents can not afford a computer now have one.The "Connecting Kids with Computers" program began because Major Larry Watkins wanted to develop a crime prevention initiative aimed at children. "It seemed clear to me that if students have the technology they need to be successful in school, the chances of them engaging in criminal activity would be reduced," says Major Watkins.Back in May "Connecting Kids with Computers" started with the donation of one computer given to one child who attends Engelhard Elementary School. Since then the Fourth Division, which serves neighborhoods including Old Louisville, Shelby Park and Smoketown, has generated the donation of 27 gently used computers from generous people throughout the community. The students were presented with their computers at an event held at the Fourth Division substation in Old Louisville.Anyone in the community wishing to donate a computer to the "Connecting Kids with Computers" program can contact Major Larry Watkins, Commander of the Fourth Division, at 574-7010.

- Less painful testing
- 11 depth settings to choose from
- Silicone coated lancets for less friction
- For fingertip or forearm testing
Package Contents
1 - Lancet Device
1 - Clear Cap
When you're testing your blood glucose regularly, you want the process to be as comfortable as possible. Conventional spring-loaded lancet systems often penetrate too deeply, with side-to-side movement that can cause painful dilation or tearing of skin tissue. The Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Device has a precise, linear action that provides greater comfort. It will be easier for you to test as often as necessary. Match your skin type. Uses a Comfort Dial with 11 depth settings, so you can adjust the lancet depth to match your skin type. Precise lancet movement. Uses a precise linear sliding motion, to provide greater comfort. Precisely manufactured lancets. Lancets are carefully manufactured to insure that, once set, optimal penetration depth doesn't change from test to test. Adequate blood sample Obtain just enough blood for accurate testing.
1. Remove the cap from the lancet device.
2. Insert a new lancet in the lancet holder. It is properly positioned when it snaps into place. To remove the protective cap, twist and pull it away from the lancet.
3. Replace the cap onto the lancet device. Twist the cap of the lancet device to set the lancet depth. Start at 2 or 3. For tougher skin, dial to a higher number.
4. Press the plunger on the end of the device all the way down until it clicks. A yellow dot will appear and remain in the center of the clear release button. 5. Wash your hands in warm, soapy water. Dry well.
5. Hold the lancet device against the side of your fingertip.
6. Press the release button. Gently squeeze the area until you get a small sample of blood.
7. Apply the drop of blood to the target area of your test strip.
8. Immediately remove used lancet. To avoid accidental injury, do not store lancet in device.
