Quick thoughts on comics: Demon Knights #1
Paul Cornell's Demon Knights seems like a sister book or companion piece to Paul Cornell's StormWatch, since, if I'm interpreting it right, StormWatch is the latest incarnation of what the Demon Knights will eventually become.
And the two books couldn't be more different.
Demon Knights #1 accomplishes everything that StormWatch #1 didn't. It introduces a cast of characters who are all pretty distinct from each other, it establishes a distinct, credible threat, and it puts them all in a well-defined world. This issue felt like a really good pilot episode of television, where StormWatch felt like a weird WildStorm fanfic.
Diogenes Neves's art is very clean and fits very nicely into the medieval setting. Can't wait for the next issue.

B&M: 10pk of Fuji 4x6 photo paper for 50 cents
As part of their always-chaotic weekly ad (Sept 14-20, 2012), Fry's is offering 10-packs of Fuji 4x6 photo paper for 50 cents. You can see this at the bottom of page #15. This is best suited for Store Pick-Up (free) or in-store purchases. Shipping to your address starts at $6, so it defeats the purchase unless it is part of a larger order.

Contest Starts: May 14 at 10 a.m. EDT
I have one thing to say about these Harlow shoes from Fluevog: Yes, please!
Found these on the blog French Kande. Aren't they gorgeous? French heels circa 1730. Beautifully ornate, and in fabulous condition for being almost 300 years old!
Another sketch by artist Don Higgins. This time it's Miss Finley Jayne, ready for a fight.
Another one of the talented Don Higgins' imaginings. Here we have his vision of Emily. What do you think?
I'm featured an article on females in Steampunk fiction. Just click on the previous sentence to read the article.
My friend the fabulous Don Higgins has done some sketches of the cast of The Girl in the Steel Corset. Here's his interpretation of Griffin. What do you think?
Continuing on with character inspiration for The Steampunk Chronicles. When I saw Lily Cole in St. Trinians I knew she was my Emily. Can't you just see her with dreads and goggles?
I get asked all the time who I would cast in a movie of my books, or who I used for inspiration. I thought it might be fun to share my 'cast' with you and get your feedback. Hate my choice? Let me know. Love it? Say it! Have someone else in mind? I'd love to hear who.
So, here she is, Miss Finley Jayne:
Finley might have started out looking like the fabulous Emma Watson, but she soon took on her ow look, as characters do once I get to know them. Still, I think EW could play Fin in a movie version of the Steampunk Chronicles, although I'd have to see her throw a punch first!
Your thoughts?

Chickenpox (Varicella) (cont.)
The first symptoms of chickenpox include:
The first symptoms are usually mild in children, but they can be severe in teens and adults. These symptoms may continue throughout the illness.
About 1 or 2 days after the first symptoms of chickenpox appear, an itchy rash develops. During a typical course of chickenpox:
Chickenpox is most contagious from 2 to 3 days before the rash appears until all the blisters have crusted over.
Other conditions may cause a similar rash.
What Happens
The first symptoms of chickenpox—fever, feeling sick, decreased appetite, headache, cough, and sore throat—usually develop between 14 and 16 days after contact with a person infected with the virus. But it may be as late as 21 days after contact before symptoms appear.
Chickenpox rash usually appears on the upper body about 1 or 2 days after the first symptoms develop. The trunk usually is most affected, the arms and legs the least. The rash also may spread to the scalp, face, nose, and mouth. In rare cases, it spreads into the eyelid lining (conjunctiva), into the clear covering over the eye (cornea), inside the throat, or into the genital area.
It takes about 1 or 2 days for a chickenpox red spot (macule) to go through all its stages, including drying and crusting over. New red spots continue to develop every day for as long as 5 to 7 days.
Skin infection is the most common complication for children under age 5. Skin infection can develop after scratching the rash, which allows bacteria from the skin or under the fingernails to get into a chickenpox blister. This condition can become serious if it is not treated. An infected blister also may develop into a scar.
Some people may have more chickenpox blisters and longer-lasting symptoms than healthy children. Severe illness or complications are more common in:
The varicella-zoster virus that causes chickenpox can appear in different forms. These variations of chickenpox are most often seen in young children and in the fetus of a pregnant woman.
Although you become immune to the chickenpox virus after you have had chickenpox, the virus will still be in your body. The virus can later cause shingles (herpes zoster), usually when you are an older adult. About 20 out of 100 people who have chickenpox will later develop shingles.1

'Tis the season to catch the flu.
Doctors recommend a flu shot, but there are some other ways you can helpboost your immune system and fight off those nasty bugs-- naturally!
FOX35's Kimberly Wiggins takes us to the grocery store for some flu-fightingfoods.
Dawn Napoli, a registered dietician at UF Health Cancer Center at OrlandoHealth took us to Publix to show us some simple foods that can help boost yourimmune system.. Naturally.
First up is red and orange fruits and veggies.
"Things like sweet potatoes and carrots and red peppers will have a lot of VitaminA. Vitamin A is a really strong antioxidant that really helps with your visionand your eyes, but also helps to fight off all those flus and colds,"Napoli said.
She says they're good raw, but baking them is best.
"Putting a little bit of butter on there will help you absorb all thatVitamin A," said Napoli.
Also, throw some bell peppers in your basket.
"With bell peppers, especially if they're red and orange and yellow ones. They'regoing to have a lot of Vitamin C. People always think of citrus with Vitamin C,but bell peppers actually have more Vitamin C than oranges."
And Napoli says don't forget the fungi! The more exotic, the better.
"Penn State actually did a study in 2005 and found that mushrooms actuallyhave 12% more antioxidant power thanwheatgerm,"
Also garlic is great.
A trail mix with seeds and nuts helps, too.
"It's easy to get that selenium in and ward off those colds andviruses."
Napoli says your gut is your first line of defense so load up on yogurt.
"There's a study done in Vienna saying that even just 1 serving, about a 6oz. yogurt, per day, will help protect your colon,"
Need to catch more Vitamin D? Try cold water, fatty fish.
"There was a study done that found that people that were more likely to getsick had a lower vitamin d status so that's how we know that we need to takemore Vitamin D."
Lastly, a cup of tea really does the immune system good.
"The stars of tea are green, white, and black tea. There was a study thatshowed that drinking 5 cups of black tea for two weeks actually increaseVitamin D and quadrupled the immune system of those people,"
And that's just a few foods that'll help your immune system pack a punchthis flu season.

Anybody read Steve Job's criticism of Google and Research in Motion (blackberry makers) at today's Apple conference call? A few choice excerpts:
"We've now passed RIM, and I don't see them catching up with us in the immediate future," Jobs said. "I think it's going to be a challenge for them to create a competitive platform … with 300,000 apps in Apple's App Store, RIM has a high mountain to climb."
"Google loves to characterize Android as "open," and iOS and iPhone as "closed". We find this a bit disingenuous, and clouding the real difference between our two approaches. The first thing that most of think about when we hear the word "open" is Windows, which is available on a variety of devices. Unlike Windows, however, where most PCs have the same user interface and run the same apps, Android is very fragmented."
^iso4 is closed so we can make more $ and have more control...lol
Haha, pretty much. But you can't fault Steve Jobs from putting a very nice spin on it.
SO 299,999 Fart apps, and one usefull one:P
Something to be proud of Turtleneck bandit!
lol @animatortom....iPhone has great apps and user interface...anyway only games are as good as that of Apple....But yes so much for the confined ecosystem it still has the largest number of apps in the world

Introducing the self-balancing fully-enclosed C-1 electric motorcycle
Yeah, this thing is no joke. It's as real as the day is long. The C-1 made by Lit Motors is the future of two-wheel motor powered vehicles. The C-1 at this time hasn't been made yet for consumers, but is a prototype that should hit production lines next year in 2013. The motorcycle boasts a new concept, seen mainly in futuristic movies and in the minds of the imaginative.
The most innovative feature of the C-1 is that it's self-balancing. Meaning, unlike a traditional two-wheel motorcycle, the C-1 uses an electronically controlled gyroscope stabilizing system to stay up even when thrown off balance, for example if bumped or in an accident. The bike is also two passenger, and another advantage is that it's fully enclosed. So riding in the rain or cold will be an issue of the past.
Gizmag says the price of this machine will start out somewhere around US$24,000 but could drop down to US$16,000 after mass production begins. Oh by the way, the C-1 is all electric, so fueling and worrying about the price of oil up won't be an issue either.

Black Mask Of Death Lyrics
Black, burnt earth
Pants for blood like a thirsting
To give a fruit of a murder
And regain the lost dream.
Dead warriors
Union with the fate
To renegate
To immemorial fight.
And black angel
Has come with his procession.
He looks at the gallows,
Feeds his eyes with the death.
Gallentry of the black multitude
Steped in burnt earth.
Dead hands of demons
Swaying soaked weapon.
My name is legion
Because there are many of us.
Icy tentacles of death
Feed with dead ones.
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/devilyn/black_mask_of_death.html

Published Online:
4 December 2013
Cervical pre-cancer (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) can be treated in different ways depending on the extent and nature of the disease. Less invasive treatments that do not require a hospital stay may be used. A general anaesthetic is occasionally needed, especially if the disease has spread locally, early invasion is suspected or previous out-patient treatment has failed. Surgery can be done with a knife, cryotherapy (freezing the abnormal cells), laser or cutting with a loop (an electrically charged wire). This review found there was not enough evidence to confidently select the most effective technique and that more research is needed.

No Birthday Cake for Tot Named Adolf Hitler
A supermarket refused to personalize a cake with name of the leader of the Third Reich. Go figure.
A couple in New Jersey is upset because their local ShopRite refused to personalize a birthday cake with the name of their 3-year-old son ... who just happens to be named Adolf Hitler. Heath and Deborah Campbell, both self-proclaimed "Holocaust deniers," protested the decision, saying: "ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old. That's sad."
It's not the first time the Campbells have had their cake request denied before -- the ShopRite also refused to make a cake bearing the name of Adolf's sister, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, who turns 2 in February.
The cake debacle could be a window into how the children, because of their controversial names, will be treated in the future by classmates or even (someday) employers. But the Campbells aren't worried in the least: "I just figured that they're just names," mom Deborah Campbell said. "They're just kids. They're not going to hurt anybody." Um, good luck with that.
The ShopRite store was so adamant that the name Hitler should not grace a cake that they even refused to provide a blank cake for the parents to write the name themselves, saying only that "we believe the request ... to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolph Hitler is inappropriate." Ya think?
Do you agree with ShopRite's refusal to write Adolf Hitler on a cake? What about the store's refusal to even sell them a blank cake to write the name themselves? Comment in the momlogic community.
Clearly they are not "just names" as the mother says. She chose those names to make a statement. I feel sorry for her children who have to live with that statement.
Disgusting. Yay for ShopRite. No one has a "right" to shop there. Given the nature of the names, I think they were completely in their right.
Go ShopRite!
OMG! I feel awful for those poor kids who have such disgusting pigs as parents!
If I'm not mistaken stores still have the right to refuse service. Go Shop Rite!!! These parents are at best naive about the ways these kids will be affected by having to go through life with those names. They say that 'they're just toddlers they're not gonna hurt anybody'. Oh really? Feeling socially isolated is one of the main causes for kids to lash-out violently in schools. Sometimes to the point of multiple murders. Does columbine ring a bell for anyone? The names that these innocent, for now, children have will get them teased, tormented and socially isolated.
Let them go find the holocaust-denier's grocery store, I'm sure they'll be happy to sell them a cake there.
Well, I'm just baffled. Holocaust denial? Wow. If those were "just names" then they would be Cindy and Joe. Clearly there was intent with those names. The good news is that (and I can tell you this from personal experience) not all children raised by ignorant hate filled people grow up to be ignorant hate filled people. Sometimes we are smart enough and have heart enough to see how cowardly and disgusting such hate filled people and their attitudes are and we grow into much better people than our parents. Let us hope it is the same with these kids.
Let's hope that Kara is right and these kids learn early how ignorant and hate filled their parents' views are and they grow up to re-educate their parents on what really happened. Maybe when they grow up they'll get their names legally changed. Naming those children the way they did was intentional and with purpose and it borders on emotional abuse.
Excuse me but "WHAT???" - Holocaust deniers??? What color is the sky in your world? Because I bet that you deny that it is blue. Those poor children. I do hope that they turn out as Kara suggested…smart enough to know right from wrong. Good luck to them with those names!
Man, and I thought my name sucked!…
my stomach hurts just reading this.
I guess I give the parents the right to name their child whatever they want. Sure they may be making a statement but why can't they? What if you named your child Obama right now? Wouldn't you be making a statement with your child? Obviously they are very different statements but still…Why not let the kid have his cake?
Cameron, there is a HUGE difference between naming your child "Obama" and naming it Adolph Hitler. Yes, they both make statements, but what kind of message are they making? Not everyone agrees with Obama, I'll be the first to admit, but he never forced the murder of eleven million people. Hitler, on the other hand, intentionally spread a message of hate and bigotry, a legacy that Ms. Campell seems intent on continuing. So why not let the kid have his cake? Because that would be supporting this sort of blanant bigotry. Go ShopRite!
Adolph is a bad name, i just hope Mr & Mrs. Campell would change their children's name, i mean their kids are not mean, but the name Adolph Hitler(and anything related to him) is just controversial, this also hurts the feelings of the jews.
Its okay to name your kid Obama anyway, he was only accused of being islam infact many folks named their children Obama and got a birthday cake. Its not like i hate Mrs. Campell's children, i guess the name is not good for them, in my opinion, they should not name their kids after politicians/dictators/big figures whatever…
But i think the names are okay as long as they aren't your typical class bullies/neighborhood bullies/evil dictators to name a few
If you do a little research, the founders of shoprite (or their parent company, wakefern) are all Jewish, and it's not that far of a jump to say that if not some of them are holocaust survivors, then they had relatives that were…
Angelyka, "Adolf" is just a name. If they named their son Adolf, his name would be Adolf Campbell, no big deal. But they named him literally "Adolf Hitler" (and their daughter Jocelyn Aryann Nation for chrissakes). Those parents are nazis and they don't hide it, in fact they want to advertise nacism by hiding under the flag of "freedom of choice" or whatever. That by itself is pretty bad, but using their children for some twisted political purpose is utterly sick.
Shop Rite shouldn't deny service to the customer. They should inscribe the children's first names only. I'm sure there are thousands of people named "Adolph" and "JoyceLynn" or some variation.
The parents say it's not fair to be denied a cake for their kids. The rest of the world says it's not fair to the kids to give them those names (names that will lead to ostrification—except by fellow racists). Talk about child endangerment!
wonder what these nazi sympathizers feel about obama. ha ha. lol
shoprite can go die. aint the kids fault. its the goddamned constitution people u cant deny someone service based on their name thats called discrimination. dumb liberals.

Aquamar S.A. sustainable tilapia farm outside Guayaquil, Ecuador (shown above); John Birkett from the Chanduy sustainable shrimp farm (left); Aquamar president Enrico Delfini (right).
Tropical Sustainable Tilapia & Shrimp
TILAPIA – Fresh from the Aquamar farm in Ecuador, Tropical's sustainable tilapia are raised in low-density farms utilizing polyculture (two species in the same environment) and recirculation. Aquamar was recently awarded the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certificate for responsibly farmed tilapia, making them the first tilapia farm in the Americas to receive ASC certification.
SHRIMP – Tropical's blue foot white shrimp are raised in Chanduy, on Ecuador's west coast, in low-density ponds to prevent overcrowding and promote good health. No antibiotics, chemicals, preservatives, growth hormones or mammal proteins are ever used. The shrimp are exceptionally succulent and sweet.
THE FARM – Tropical's farming model creates low-density, freerange conditions. The tilapia are Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certified, confirming Tropical's commitment to conserve and replenish natural resources.
THE FOOD – Tropical's tilapia and shrimp feed on naturally occurring plankton and zooplankton, making the fish-in to fishout ratios the lowest in the world. The farms also add natural probiotics to the ponds to help keep the fish healthy.
THE WATER – Tropical's ponds are naturally infused with saltwater with each new tide. Saltwater is a natural cleanser and gives the fish and shrimp a clean, mild flavor and firm texture. Almost 50 percent of Tropical's production capacity is in recirculation, or closed systems. Traditional aquaculture requires 1 million gallons to fill a one-acre pond. In contrast, a closed recirculating system uses less than 10 percent of that water volume to produce comparable yields.

Education and Equity
International Perspectives on Theory and Policy

moreInequality is a marked and persistent feature of education systems, both in the developed and the developing worlds. Major gaps in opportunity and in outcomes have become more critical than in the past, thanks to the knowledge economy and globalization. More and more populations, both rich and poor depend on successful use of school and on gaining post-school qualifications. But access to high-quality schooling, success at school, and chances of higher education all remain socially divided, with implications for economic opportunities, personal growth, and civic and community development. What causes these divisions in how education systems work? Have decades of public investment brought about at least some improvements, even if major gaps remain? If not, what are the barriers, the social processes which have frustrated the efforts of government? The pursuit of equity as a goal of public policy is examined in this book through a series of national case-studies, covering many different global contexts from the wealthiest to some of the poorest nations on earth. What have we learnt from the policy experience globally? Do we know more today than yesterday about the origins of social inequality? Are our policies better framed, better designed to tackle inequality? And which way forward? What does the evidence suggest in terms of future approaches and emphasis? This work is published in three volumes which together form a 3-volume set. less

Bella Swan~
Jacob Black~
He has lived in the small town of forks his whole life he is a werewolf that is with a pack led by sam although the apocalypse has happened all he thought of was the true love of his life bella, The day to apocalypse started he knew that he would find her on way or another.

When the apocalypse started Noah and Lance teamed up and fought zombies together.
Lily May
She is half vampire half werewolf but can only turn into an actual wolf, unlike Jacob or Noah. She's been a loner for quite some time and is desperate to find a place to settle down in.
After his entire family was killed by the apocalypse, he tried to outrun the spread of the disease, little did he know he'd end up at a high tech safe haven. They knew this would happen, the disease. He didn't even ask them when they said they had been planning for years to prepare (Twist? I think so.) They helped him back onto his feet then hired him as a guard. It's only his 8th day on duty when he sees huge wolves roaming around the area. One had icy blue eyes and a white coat while the other was a dirty blondish color and wonderful grey eyes. the next day he can't think of anything else except the white one. The day after that an entire pack comes...

Jacob_" Bella its okay you siad once that you thought it would be cool if you were an wolf and now you are." i said trying to lighten things up, I smiled and tried to comfort her.
Jacob_ I smiled and we both phased human she was a gorgeous wolf that matches her perfectly since she already was gorgeous.
sure ill will take john and you can take alex
Jacob_" Yeah come on lets tell them."
what if since Bella is now a werewolf every werewolf guy is more atracted to her in cluding lance add some more drama?
Jake_ i smiled and when we got there we called everyone outside," You guys Bella is a werewolf just like most of us."
John_ I smiled, one more good fighter right.
Amber_ that was a shocker.
Noah_" What the? " I was with lance on this one.

FRIDAY, Sept. 17 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that
the seductive power of smoking cues does not diminish over time for
those who are trying to kick the habit.
The finding adds a new challenge to efforts to prevent relapse
among those struggling to embark on a tobacco-free lifestyle.
"The main point is pretty straightforward," said study author Gillinder Bedi. "When people are exposed to things that they associate with a drug they use, they often feel an increase in craving."
Bedi, who conducted the research while with the department of
psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of
Chicago, said that the new twist her team discovered is that the
impact of such cues apparently does not weaken as the period of
abstinence lengthens.
"This means that quitting smokers may find that they are surprised by having a strong craving response when they come into contact with cues related to smoking, even after they have gotten through the initial withdrawal," she noted.
The team reports its findings in the current online issue of
Biological Psychiatry.
To explore the issue of cravings, Bedi and her colleagues
focused on 86 healthy male and female smokers who had not yet
kicked the habit and weren't trying to do so.
Participants were divided into three groups: one instructed to
stop smoking for a week; the second instructed to stop for two
weeks; and the third instructed to stop for five weeks. As an
incentive, all were paid $30 a day to try to quit.
On the last day of each group's abstinence period, each
participant was exposed to a series of randomly presented cues
designed to be either "neutral" or smoking-related. The latter
included viewing photos of smoking situations while holding a lit
cigarette, while the former involved viewing neutral photos while
holding a pencil cut to the length of a cigarette.
A fourth group of smokers -- asked to abstain for the full five
weeks -- was also exposed to smoking and neutral cues at one, two
and five weeks.
Heart rate, blood pressure and salivary cortisol levels were
measured before and after all cue exposures. All participants also
completed a questionnaire to gauge their feelings of cravings after
all the cues.
Bedi and her team found that even though both withdrawal
symptoms and independent cravings subsided with abstinence,
cravings triggered by exposure to smoking-related cues actually
increased the further down the abstinence road a former smoker
Such cue-induced cravings were found to be more prevalent among
the smokers at the five-week abstinence mark than among those asked
to stop for just a week. Similarly, those exposed to
smoking-related imagery along the way showed more cravings at the
five-week point than at the two-week point.
As a result, the authors suggest that clinicians should consider
the possibility that ex-smokers might actually face a more
difficult long-term struggle with cravings than previously
"Knowing this may help people to prepare better for these kinds of experiences," Bedi suggested, "so that they don't relapse when they experience a jump in craving after coming into contact with people, places or things that they associate with smoking."
"This could," she added, "also apply to other drugs, although more research needs to be done to investigate this possibility."
Dr. Adam O. Goldstein, director of University of North
Carolina's Tobacco Intervention Programs in Chapel Hill, said that
cues for cigarettes are probably stronger than similar cues for
alcohol and opiates.
"People underestimate these cues," he cautioned. "That's one of the real take-home lessons of this kind of research. They are very powerful, and the return to smoking when these cues come can be rapid. But they are treatable."
"Coping strategies can moderate the effect of these kinds of cues," Goldstein explained. "Cognitive therapy can help. And people who plan for how to deal with those smoking-related cues do better than those who don't."
"There are also some pharmacologic interventions that work better than others," he added. "For example, some people should have some nicotine lozenges at hand, because if they get a smoking cue I'd much rather have that person pop a lozenge to relieve that cue than turn to a cigarette."
The bottom line," Goldstein said, "is that we really have to
follow people not just for three or six months but for a year, and
even after a year to be on the lookout for a cue-induced

I am the hypocritical Christian.
I say I follow Christ,
But I'm still consumed by my demons.
I go to church on Sunday,
But I refuse to invite someone back.
I want to serve on mission,
But I'm too afraid to act.
They think I read The Bible,
But I just fall asleep in it.
They think I'm positivity and smiles,
But underneath I'm death and addictions.
They think I'm clean and pure,
But I'm broken and mistaken.
I say I'm not worthy of His love,
But Jesus will never let me be forsaken.
I pray long prayers,
But inside they're empty repetition.
It might look as if my faith is strong,
But my core is too easily shaken.
I say the things I'm supposed to say,
But don't follow His actions or obey.
I speak the truth the church wants to hear,
But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe.
I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough
To be loved by God and saved through Christ,
But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace;
It's a free gift.
I accept;
Now forgiven, changed, and released.
Thank You God,
Thank You Jesus,
Thank You Holy Spirit!
In Jesus' Holy Name,
We pray,
The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.
It was their night they shone bright as they danced their sweet dance
Two lovers embraced in their world of romance.
They laughed and they cried as their eyes locked in stare
It was their world for this moment as if no one was there.
And their steps they so flawlessly glided in tune,
To a melody that touched everyone in that room.
Their passion brought envy to onlookers there,
Who secretly questioned their own love affair.
But as the night closed and came to an end
The lovers were blind to what lie round the bend.
The house and the cars and the jobs that went bad
The kids drove them crazy and their savings were drab.
So they fought to hold on to the things in their life,
That caused them so much of their pain and their strife.
They fought with each other like enemies do,
And dismissed in their life everything that was true.
So when sickness and hardships and troubles occurred,
Their vows to commit seemed truly absurd.
Their home and their kids would now take a backseat,
For their moral obligation they chose not to meet.
So I Ask …
What happened to that dance they danced so well?
With passion and truth everyone could tell.
What happened to their dance where they held so tight?
What happened to the wonder of their glorious night?
What happened to the words that charmed their ears?
With a passionate rhythm that brought them to tears.
What happened to those vows that poured from their heart?
The "I love you forever and till death do us part".
For these aren't just words we borrow for the day,
From another who tells us this is what we must say.
We say them cause it's what we feel true in our heart,
It's a God given blessing we commit from the start.
But these words are now lost as they fall on deaf ears,
Since the pain and the struggles they've created these years.
So the lesson here learned dear people of odd,
Is that love is so fragile but made strong with our God.
So stop fighting for power and money or need,
For all of this nonsense is only our greed.
Keep God in your life and he'll walk you through,
When heartache and pain and losses ensue.
For why commit vows in the eyes of our God,
And not call on him when life gets too hard?
For the truth of our vows we are all meant to see,
is that marriage is not, made of two, but of three
If reading these words ring some truth in your heart,
Decide that today you will make a new start.
Go hug your spouse and say something kind
Don't let the small stuff cloud up your mind.
We're all just lost souls who are trying to cope
If not there for each other then where is the hope?
You see, the anger, the fight
that in us abide, Is only the insecure child inside.
So rise up above all this fear and this pain,
And see all the beauty that there is to gain.
By trusting in God and his will for you
Together forever he'll see you both through.
For life is too short for our miserly ways
cheap on our love hence dreading our days.
He made us to love in all that we do
To wake up each morning and start us a new.
So pray for your spouse, ask God to be kind
To the person you prayed in the beginning to find.
They're still the same person you loved from the start
But life and it's troubles have hardened their heart.
You vowed that you'd love them in sickness and health
Now is your chance to show God what you felt.
So rise up my friend, don't say that you're through
For what if your loving God gave up on you?
Sweet woman of Yahweh
sing to me
the Song of Songs
song of love
with kisses of wine.
I desire you
as Adam desired Eve
primordial affection
this knowledge I seek of you
my beloved one.
You are dark and beautiful
but grace alone is deceitful
beauty by itself ever so vain
you my love possess both
coupled with the fear of Yahweh
for you are deserved of praise.
I seek you
when dusk turns to night
the remnants of daylight
is in your eyes
leaving a kiss of the days memory.
Let us read from the books of Zohar
we are surrounded
by the Kabballat angels
where the Shabbat Queen
restores our love each week.
Oh my love
suspended are we
between the secular
and the sacred.
Almighty God has created
this wonderful world for us
in radiant shards and sparks of light
tonight we tend our souls.
Come let us embrace the Kaballah
I draw for you
a most wonderful mandala
for my darling
a dream is dreamed three times.
The evening is upon us
I see over your shoulder falling
your hair in serpent like ringlets
your black hair is twisted
to allure you to me
my new found lover
Shabbat Shalom....
Dear Jesus… I realize
how much I really need you!
I want to honor,
love and trust you!
I know that others will
disappoint me…
I know that you're here….
And will take care of me!
Your principles of holy
living is what you taught!
Love, Joy and peace…
is what you brought!
May I bring honor
to your name!
Your message of salvation,
I need to proclaim!
Dear Jesus… You're all I need!
And so much more!
It's you that my life
was meant for!
I offer to you, my lord,
praise and thanksgiving!
For all you've done,
And the life you're giving!
You all I'll ever need!
The anointed one!
There's victory in YOU!
Life's battles are won!
By Jim Pemberton
White Lilies,
Scattered on the ground,
Out of their element.
Deprived of its origin.
Clarity no longer visible.
White Roses,
In the purest snow,
Frozen to the core.
Stripped away so rash.
Beauty destroyed.
White flowers,
All around,
Trampled into dust.
Stolen without knowledge.
Endless death fighting to prevail.
A Mother's Love…
How precious is the love
of a mother's heart!
Even as a child… It's there from the start.
A mother's love knows
no boundary or limit.
It's often shown by how
much the mother gives it!
Whether her children are
young or growing old…
And whatever circumstances
in life may unfold…
Her love is continually
a solid foundation…
That can't be removed, torn or shaken.
Her love is what is
a "guiding force…"
Even if her children's lives
stray "off course."
I'm thankful for the love
my mother's given…
It's surely influenced
the way I've been livin'!
To all of our mothers across
our great nation…
May we show them our love
and appreciation!
Their love has stood and
endured the test of time…
I'm so glad that one of them is MINE!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
An efference copy or efferent copy is an internal copy of an outflowing (efferent), movement-producing signal generated by the motor system.[1] It can be collated with the (reafferent) sensory input that results from the agent's movement, enabling a comparison of actual movement with desired movement, and a shielding of perception from particular self-induced effects on the sensory input to achieve perceptual stability.[1] Together with internal models, efference copies can serve to enable the brain to predict the effects of an action.[1]
An equal term with a different history is corollary discharge.[2]
Efference copies are important in enabling motor adaptation such as to enhance gaze stability. They have a role in the perception of self and nonself electric fields in electric fish. They also underlie the phenomenon of tickling.
A motor signal from the central nervous system (CNS) to the periphery is called an efference, and a copy of this signal is called an efference copy. Sensory information coming from sensory receptors in the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system is called afference. On a similar basis, nerves into the nervous system are afferent nerves and ones out are termed efferent nerves.
When an efferent signal is produced and sent to the motor system, it has been suggested that a copy of the signal, known as an efference copy, is created so that exafference (sensory signals generated from external stimuli in the environment) can be distinguished from reafference (sensory signals resulting from an animal's own actions).[3]
This efference copy, by providing the input to a forward internal model, is then used to generate the predicted sensory feedback that estimates the sensory consequences of a motor command. The actual sensory consequences of the motor command are then deployed to compare with the corollary discharge to inform the CNS about how well the expected action matched its actual external action.[4]
Corollary discharge is characterized as an efference copy of an action command used to inhibit any response to the self generated sensory signal which would interfere with the execution of the motor task. The inhibitory commands originate at the same time as the motor command and target the sensory pathway that would report any reafference to higher levels of the CNS. This is unique from the efference copy, since the corollary discharge is actually fed into the sensory pathway to cancel out the reafferent signals generated by the movement.[3] Alternatively, corollary discharges briefly alters self-generated sensory responses to reduce self-induced desensitization or help distinguish between self-generated and externally generated sensory information.[5]
The first person to propose the existence of efferent copies was the German physician and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz in the middle of the 19th century. He argued that the brain needed to create an efference copy for the motor commands that controlled eye muscles so as to aid the brain's determining the location of an object relative to the head. His argument used the experiment in which one gently presses on ones own eye. If this is done, one notices that the visual world seems to have "moved" as a result of this passive movement of the eye ball. In contrast, if the eye ball is actively moved by the eye muscles the world is perceived as still. The reasoning made is that with a passive movement of the eye ball, no efferent copies are made as with active movements that allow sensory changes to be anticipated and controlled for with the result in their absence the world appears to move.
In 1900, Charles Sherrington, the founder of modern ideas about motor control, rejected von Helmholtz ideas and argued that efference copies were not needed as muscles had their own sense of the movements they made. "The view [of von Helmholtz and his followers] which dispenses with peripheral organs and afferent nerves for the muscular sense has had powerful adherents . . . It supposes that during ... a willed movement the outgoing current of impulses from brain to muscle is accompanied by a 'sensation for innervation'. ... it "remains unproven".[6] This resulted in the idea of efference copies being dropped for the next 75 years.[7]
In 1950, Erich von Holst and Mittelstaedt investigated how species are able to distinguish between exafference and reafference given a seemingly identical percept of the two.[8] To explore this question, they rotated the head of a fly 180 degrees, effectively reversing the right and left edges of the retina and reversing the subject's subsequent reafferent signals. In this state, self-initiated movements of the fly would result in a perception that the world was also moving, rather than standing still as they would in a normal fly. After rotation of the eyes, the animal showed a reinforcement of the optokinetic response in the same direction as the moving visual input. Von Holst and Mittelstaedt interpreted their findings as evidence that corollary discharge (i.e. neural inhibition with active movement) could not have accounted for this observed change as this would have been expected to inhibit the optokinetic reaction. They concluded that an "Efferenzkopie" of the motor command was responsible for this reaction due to the persistence of the reafferent signal and given the consequent discrepancy between expected and actual sensory signals which reinforced the response rather than preventing it.[3][9]
The Nobel Prize winner, Roger Wolcott Sperry argued for the basis of corollary discharges following his research upon the optokinetic reflex.[10] He is also regarded as the originator of the term "corollary discharge".[1]
Efference copy relates to Coriolis effect in a manner that allows for learning and correction of errors experienced from self-generated Coriolis forces. During trunk rotational movements there is a learned CNS anticipation of Coriolis effects, mediated by generation of an appropriate efference copy that can be compared to re-afferent information.[11][12]
It has been proposed that efference copy has an important role in maintaining gaze stability with active head movement by augmenting the vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) during dynamic visual acuity testing.[13]
Efference copy within an internal model allows us to grip objects in parallel to a given load. In other words, the subject is able to properly grip any load that they are provided because the internal model provides such a good prediction of the object without any delay. Flanagan and Wing tested to see whether an internal model is used to predict movement-dependent loads by observing grip force changes with known loads during arm movements.[14] They found that even when giving subjects different known loads the grip force was able to predict the load force. Even when the load force was suddenly changed the grip force never lagged in the phase relationship with the load force, therefore affirming the fact that there was an internal model in the CNS that was allowing for the proper prediction to occur. It has been suggested by Kawato that for gripping, the CNS uses a combination of the inverse and forward model.[15] With the use of the efference copy the internal model can predict a future hand trajectory, thus allowing for the parallel grip to the particular load of the known object.
Experiments have been conducted wherein subjects' feet are tickled both by themselves and with a robotic arm controlled by their own arm movements. These experiments have shown that people find a self-produced tickling motion of the foot to be much less "tickly" than a tickling motion produced by an outside source. They have postulated that this is because when a person sends a motor command to produce the tickling motion, the efference copy anticipates and cancels out the sensory outcome. This idea is further supported by evidence that a delay between the self-produced tickling motor command and the actual execution of this movement (mediated by a robotic arm) causes an increase in the perceived tickliness of the sensation. This shows that when the efference copy is incompatible with the afference, the sensory information is perceived as if it were exafference. Therefore, it is theorized that it is not possible to tickle ourselves because when the predicted sensory feedback (efference copy) matches the actual sensory feedback, the actual feedback will be attenuated. If the predicted sensory feedback does not match the actual sensory feedback, whether caused by a delay (as in the mediation by the robotic arm) or by external influences from the environment, the brain cannot predict the tickling motion on the body and a more intense tickling sensation is perceived. This is the reason why one cannot tickle oneself.[16]
The mormyrid electric fish provides an example of corollary discharge in lower vertebrates.[5][17][18] Specifically, the knollenorgan sensor (KS) is involved with electro-communication, detecting the electric organ discharges (EOD) of other fish.[17][18] Unless the reafference was somehow modulated, the KS would also detect self generated EODs that would interfere with interpretation of external EODs needed for communication between fish. However, these fish display corollary discharges that inhibit the ascending sensory pathway at the first CNS relay point.[17][18] These corollary discharges are timed to arrive at the same time as the reafference from the KS to minimize the interference of self-produced EODs with the perception of external EODs, and optimize the duration of inhibition.[18]

Nice, I'm following along on this one.
Hey Devin, if it was your other foot could you still work the treadle as good with your left?

Sugar: The Other White Dug with Jennifer Cole Conn
We're a nation that's sweet on sugar: the average U.S. adult downs 22 teaspoons of sugar a day, according to the American Heart Association, and surveys have found that teens swallow 34 teaspoons. Although some argue that sugar is just "empty calories," a growing body of scientific evidence is showing that fructose can trigger processes that lead to liver toxicity and a host of other chronic diseases. A little is not a problem, but a lot kills — slowly. Sugar is toxic beyond its calories. Join us as Jennifer Cole Conn explores how we can handle this monster in our diet.

News and Events Details
UW-Superior's Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and the Division of Campus Life announce a new collaborative initiative: The Co-Curricular Unconference.
What is an Unconference?
Essentially, Unconferences are participant-driven conversations. Participants generate, and ultimately select, the topics that will be discussed. Participants self-select into clusters for facilitated, timed conversations and then repeat for a set number of rounds. This Unconference will be a great way to explore the co-curricular topics you want to talk about; share ideas, hear what others from around the Twin Ports are doing, and have some fun.
If you need day-of assistance please call the YU Information Desk at 715-394-8244.

haha, ya. some people i work with have decided to play rift, one of whom especially hates wow for some reason. every couple of weeks he'll brag to me about how "wow's numbers are falling" and "wow's going to die soon just like everquest and final fantasy." but really, a dip from 12m to 11.4m??? while it is still a rather significant revenue loss for blizz, it's still way and beyond the level of subscribers for any other game out there. i don't see blizz giving up their crown to anyone for many years to come.

Chloe Dao
Chloe Dao's story is a 21st century American success story and one for the ages. She came to America from Laos as a child, along with her parents and her seven sisters. Though she was encouraged to pursue science or medicine, she knew from age 10 that she wanted to be in the world of fashion design.
She later graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in patternmaking. Afterwards, she worked making patterns, while learning the ins and outs of buying and merchandising. By the year 2000, Dao was a seasoned professional in the fashion industry, and it was then that she opened Lot 8, a boutique which she named for the eight Dao sisters.
In 2002 Dao won Season 2 of Bravo Television's Project Runway, even though the camera often focused on the dramatic exploits of other contestants. The fact was, she had a gift for designing for women's figures, and she had the technical skills to put together beautiful creations. In the years since, Dao has steadily grown in stature as an American fashion designer of note. She may not have the instant name recognition of Tom Ford or Kate Spade – yet! But Chloe Dao is living the dream she had as a little girl, and that's a true definition of a success story.
You can find Dao's "Simply Chloe Dao" collection on QVC.com, with designs that draw on the clothing sold at her Lot8 boutique. There you'll find designs made by a real woman, for real women.
Dao's "Kim" dress, from her Summer 2010 collection, is a one-shouldered creation that's fitted at the waist and done in a pale blue and silver pattern on white. The top and the skirt are beautifully draped, elegantly sugar coating any figure flaws.
"Kara" is another gorgeous summer dress, in a textured white with an unusual criss-cross neckline, with a fitted waist and darts at the bust, for a perfect fit that gives any figure hourglass curves.
"Oxana" is the perfect summer party dress, with a halter neckline and flared, subtly pleated skirt. Done up in a pale cream color, it is sure to flatter skin tones either with or without a tan, while the halter neckline would be perfectly played off against a gorgeous pair of drop earrings.
Chloe Dao is the kind of fashion designer that women can really get behind, because she "gets" what makes women look great, and she offers her designs at prices that they can actually afford. Dao is one of those success stories that inspires much more admiration than jealousy, because it is clear that she not only has the necessary talent and skill, but also the work ethic it takes to succeed in a cutthroat industry with great aplomb and class.
Simply Chloe Dao Collection can be seen on QVC July 2nd at 9am and 6pm EST.

This is a space for online performance.
Is that me? Why are you calling me a performer?
You are a post-tv-zombie.
You are sitting in your childhood bedroom. It is 3 AM and you should be asleep, but you are not. The tacky bluish screen light is making your eyes tired and sore, but you still do not look away. You do not look away because you would miss the continuous flow of information.
There is no more spotlight, no more camera, no more projector. The television has been turned off for five years. Yet you still watch and you still perform. You are both spectator and spectacle.
You are still looking. You enjoy these solitary hours on your computer. You have been sitting there night after night. Only your hand moves, but you remain unsatisfied. There no final release.
But I don't watch porn.
We are not talking about porn. That is, we are not only talking about porn. The politics of la jouissance extend far beyond the libido. By becoming a blogging body as you are doing now, you disrupt societal order, the narrative of the production line and your subsequent consumption. The simple act of clicking: watching//commenting//reposting// merges the active and the passive.
Are you aware of your body? Can you see your face reflected on the screen?
This is the manifesto of the performance of the click.

With brown-checkered curtains, wood-paneled walls, a fireplace, and electric lanterns over the tables, Tom Sawyer Restaurant & Pastry Shop evokes the feel of a homey general store. To accompany the frontier-like ambience, the cooks spend their mornings whisking together hearty breakfasts of scrambled eggs and buttermilk pancakes with enough syrup to float a log cabin. Although the restaurant's lunch specials rotate daily, certain homestyle favorites?including orders of fried chicken and open-faced turkey sandwiches?regularly fly out to tables until 3 p.m..
The Jamaican-born family members who own and operate Big Taste Caribbean Restaurant have created a visual and culinary oasis reminiscent of their native island and its neighbors. Basking in the vivid rays of a wall-length mural of a smiling red-and-orange sun, chefs craft small batches of traditional oxtail with plantains along with their own recipes for signature jerk sauce and curried shrimp. The aromas of chicken grilled over an open flame and Fridays' yard-style fish fries invite passersby to experience the cooking of the tropics. As day sets into night, cues clink on the golden pool table and a ceiling fan lazily goads the air into circles simulating a Caribbean breeze or a coconut's whispered plea to be turned into a piña colada. Live DJs and dance performances occasionally sway the straws sticking out of a Jamaican Red Stripe lager to the beat of reggae, hip-hop, and dancehall music.
Leah Gizzi builds fresh pastas and sauces using imported ingredients chosen for their quality, such as Fiorucci genoa salami and Strianese DOP tomatoes. A stash of local veggies and herbs grown in her personal garden help her form her selection of crowd favorites that include her roasted-red-pepper noodles, meatballs, red gravy, and shells stuffed with spinach and ricotta. Leah also mixes fine ingredients into her cannolis and in her cakes, including one that comes in the shape of a three-dimensional teddy bear. On Sunday, she heads over to The Buttonwood Plaza Artisan's Market, where she sells her handcrafted foods and easy-to-assemble Italian-dinner kits.
Although TalkisCheap's tech-savvy repair-persons specialize in reanimating and refurbishing smartphones, the crew can tackle a wide array of services and repairs for electronic devices of all stripes. The phone aficionados also unlock iPhones, replace broken screens, or guide clients through the store's staggering stock of phone chargers and protective cases. Guests with waterlogged phones can trot into the shop for repairs or pick up a waterproof skin to keep phones safe from accidental spills or gangs of mugging mermaids.

mtrinidee commented on TheodoraDailyBurn's answer to what should i have for breakfast:
Gluten-free oatmeal sweetened with berries.
mtrinidee commented on TheodoraDailyBurn's answer to what about hamburgers:
Eat your hamburgers protein style -- which is wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun.
mtrinidee answered the Question: How much weight is average for the Ignite Phase?
Most of the loss will be due to 1) how truthful you were to the diet and 2) how much you actually had to loose. As well as other health factors that may have been impacting your weight.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you may not loose as much at first, as your body gets use to the new diet. But this is a life long change. You should continue to loose while on balance mode.
mtrinidee commented on natombomb's answer to I'm not sure I understand the whole no sugar thing?:
When I did the ignite phase I went pretty hard core. If sugar was on the list of ingredients -- I didn't eat it. Including items like pasta sauce and sandwich meet -- and ham of any kind.
I lost over 30 pounds during ignite. You could make the case for under 10g, but really you trying to teach your body to do with out AND teach yourself to find new foods to enjoy that are healthier. Why not go all the way -- the 21 days goes faster that you would think.
mtrinidee commented on AMixon379's answer to What is the best way you "hack" your DailyBurn Balance?:
Try coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Same taste but no soy or gluten. Also can be used to make soy free teriyaki --- yum
mtrinidee commented on helloteenahh's answer to What is the best way you "hack" your DailyBurn Balance?:
I still crave chocolate (especially around that time). I found that if you get rick (allergy free) milk chocolate bars -- The only thing you have to count is the sugar. And it's delicious.
mtrinidee answered the Question: Ignite and Breastfeeding?
The ignite diet is a good guide for how you should be eating. But I wouldn't follow the strictness of the 21 day ignite phase. Instead, look towards balance phase as your guide. It's healthy eating -- not dieting.
mtrinidee commented on symmie's answer to Why are you doing Ignite?:
Hey symmie, I have the same thing, I already eliminated 4 of the 6 evils. Why not add dairy and sugar to the list for a little while. :)
mtrinidee commented on mtrinidee's answer to I would like some ideas for healthy meals. Maybe a recipie site?:
Sorry about the weird post above. This site is not iPad friendly.
Check out http://www.yummly.com/. They're an aggregate of all the top recipe sites. And they have an amazing filter that let's you put in ingrediates to avoid. I'm certain you will find something you like there.
mtrinidee answered the Question: I would like some ideas for healthy meals. Maybe a recipie site?
Answer this question (please read answers below before posting)...
mtrinidee answered the Question: I think I gained 1 pound doing Ignite. Why didn't my weight go down?
Like sleekbird said, muscle weighs more than fat. If you have been following your workouts you will be gaining muscle. That's a good thing.
Another culprit is water weight or time of day. It's normal that weight fluctuates during the day. You will weigh more in the evening. So you should always weigh at the same time on the same scale.
The reason they want you to look at measurements, or body mass, is because it it more accurate than weight to judge your progress.
mtrinidee commented on nurotic's answer to Where do I find the menus?:
The recipes are suggestions, but you need to know what they are in advance to buy the ingredients.
