I agree... There was a greater sense of server-community back then, when pick-up groups were only server-wide and the people you played with were only from your server. If someone was a ninja, you posted about it on the server forums with proof and that was the end for that person. Nowadays, it's fallen to the people to keep up the server community. I'm lucky enough to be on a realm where the server community is still alive and fairly well.
On the other hand, there's a bigger, more vast sense of community overall as WoW players. It's almost like a religion in the sense that the game has brought together people from various walks of life, ethnicity, etc. and, instead of being isolated within our realms, we're unified as a group of gamers playing the same video game.

PHILADELPHIA, PA - NOVEMBER 13: Head coach Andy Reid of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on as quarterback Michael Vick #7 is helped up after getting injured on a play against the Arizona Cardinals at Lincoln Financial Field on November 13, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Cardinals defeated the Eagles 21-17. (Photo by Rich Schultz /Getty Images)
Football Outsiders hasn't yet released their Adjusted Games Lost metric, which will document how affected each team was by injuries in 2012. In 2011, if you recall, the Eagles placed second among all teams with only 22 "games lost" by players due to injury. That low figure suggested that the team's disappointing season couldn't be excused by bad luck, and that there was little upside in terms of a regression to the mean. The disastrous 2012 campaign showed the truth of that hypothesis.
Although the full metric isn't out yet, we can already see a mixed bag with regard to injuries from last season. I went through and pulled a rough estimate for 2012 of the "games lost" by players because they were on the trainer's table and came up with 65. That would have placed the Eagles near the middle of the league overall. However, there's a massive split comparing offense to defense.
On the Eagles defense, few starters missed games due to injury. Trent Cole missed one, as did Mychal Kendricks and Fletcher Cox. But overall it was a remarkably healthy group. That's not a good thing when you're projecting for 2013. It would be nice to say "If only Nnamdi Asomugha and DeMeco Ryans and Cullen Jenkins were healthy, then things would have gone better." Instead, this was the best performance the Eagles defense could muster, despite staying relatively healthy. Don't expect a lucky bounce back next season.
The offense is a different story, though. I counted about 60 games missed by starters on offense. Key skill players each missed a handful: Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson. Jason Avant, Brent Celek and Jeremy Maclin also had a few. All together, that figure would have been right near the top of the league in 2011. But more amazing is the 40 games missed by the offensive line, including 30 just by Jason Peters and Jason Kelce alone. That's a staggering figure that is unlikely to be repeated in 2013.
As I said earlier in the week, the offense has a chance to make a quick recovery if players like Peters and Kelce return to form and the unit avoids the injury bug this year. There's your optimistic note going forward. I wish I could say the same about the defense.

Hi! I have been a vegetarian for quite some time now and I've noticed that most korean recipes require some sort of seafood or meat-based stocks (such as anchovy stock).
I am also Korean and kind of bummed out that I cannot eat most of the Korean cuisine around.
So I was wondering if the anchovy/meat stock can be substituted with a korean vegetarian stock? If so, may I have the recipe?

I'm Not On The Run- Maina, Chair, Pension Reform Task Team
THE Chairman of Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, has denied the allegation by the police that he refused to appear before the Senate committee on pension thereby declaring him wanted.
In a statement in Abuja Sunday, Maina described the claim by the police as an abuse of power in a democracy. He maintained that there was never a time the police invited him for questioning either verbally or written.
"I wish to let Nigerians know that the purported declaration by the police that I am wanted is coming to me by surprise. First of all, I am a law-abiding citizen of this nation who respects institutions and will not do anything, anytime to denigrate any constituted authority. However, I state equivocally that the said declaration by the police is definitely an abuse of power in a democracy."
He said he had given the police authentic and useful addresses where any invitation for him to appear before them could be sent, noting that it was only after such invitation had been dishonoured that an order for his arrest could be employed.

Old Testament Theology
Paul House is the author of Old Testament Theology (IVP, 1998), one of my favorite biblical theology texts (also available in Logos). I highly recommend it for understanding the theological purpose driving each block of the OT text. This weekend I discovered 20 lectures Dr. House delivered at Beeson Divinity School in 2002 on OT theology. Those lectures are available online from biblicaltraining.org where users can stream the lectures online and—after a free registration and login—download the mp3s for free. For the lectures click here.
Biblical Theology
"Biblical theology is principally concerned with the overall theological message of the whole Bible. It seeks to understand the parts in relation to the whole and, to achieve this, it must work with the mutual interaction of the literary, historical, and theological dimensions of the various corpora, and with the inter-relationships of these within the whole canon of Scripture."
This definition is taken from the New Dictionary of Biblical Theology. Biblical theology (BT) is one of the most rewarding ways to study the Bible and especially if you have good tools. Here are a few of the best BT resources I have used in the past:
From Eden to the New Jerusalem: Exploring God's Plan for Life on Earth by T. Desmond Alexander ($14). Often BT is theme-centered and here Alexander takes the theme of God's dwelling place and walks from Genesis to Revelation. God's hope of global presence on the earth (Eden) was shattered by sin. Later, God's presence on earth is concentrated with a nation (Israel), then in a tent (tabernacle), then in the city of Jerusalem (the temple), then to the Savior (Christ as the tabernacle; John 1:14), then to a group (the Church), and—in the future restoration—God's presence will dwell across a rejuvenated planet (New Earth). If you have never read any BT, this little book by Alexander is a wonderfully developed and well-written example of how BT is done.
Also, on this topic of God's dwelling presence it should be noted that a more detailed work is G. K. Beale's contribution to the New Studies of Biblical Theology series (edited by D.A. Carson), titled: Temple and the Church's Mission: Biblical Theology of the Dwelling Place of God ($20). I highly recommend it. But if you are new to BT stick with Alexander.
Another very good general intro to BT and it's major themes of study see According to Plan: The Unfolding Revelation of God in the Bible by Graeme Goldsworthy ($16).
Biblical Theology by Bruce Waltke and Gordon Fee ($60). This collection of 23 lectures (29 hours in length) was recorded in 1995 at Regent College. Waltke covers an intro to BT and OT BT in 12 lectures. Gordon Fee covers NT BT in 11 lectures. The collection is packaged with two PDF files: a massive 390-page OT lecture outline (Waltke) and a 125-page NT lecture outline (Fee). An outstanding resource.
The Ways of Our God: An Approach to Biblical Theology by Charles H. H. Scobie ($36). A thematic approach to BT that sketches out the connections between the OT and the NT on 20 major themes of the Bible under four broad headings of God's Order, God's Servant, God's People, and God's Way. A one-volume BT of the entire Bible will leave the reader unsatisfied at times but for thematic scope Scobie is useful and especially if you are new to the discipline of BT.
New Dictionary of Biblical Theology ($34). Contributions from the best biblical theologians including D.A. Carson, Alexander, Scobie, and Graeme Goldsworthy. It's comprised of three sections: (1) essays that provide a wonderful intro to BT, (2) a look at the theology of each canonical book of the Bible, and (3) articles on the 200 most prominent biblical themes. It illustrates how BT is done canonically and thematically.
I came to value the NDBT when I took a BT course at RTS-DC (Futato/VanPelt). It is the most often referenced dictionary in my library as evidenced by the fact that I own three copies—one printed copy in my home office, one printed copy in my work office, and an easily searchable electronic version in Logos. Some books would be a bargain if they were twice the cost. The NDBT is one of them.
Old Testament Theology by Paul R. House ($27). The most readable single-volume BT of the OT, House is always inspiring and packed with theological punch. Slightly more advanced readers will appreciate Bruce Waltke's An Old Testament Theology: A Canonical and Thematic Approach ($30).
Introduction to Biblical Theology by D.A. Carson. I list this out of personal curiosity. This is a course taught each autumn at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I'm told that after an intro to BT, Carson teaches through 20 various themes from Scripture. As hard as I've tried, I have been unable to find any existent audio recordings of this course or even copies of personal notes from students of the course. If you do have notes from this course, and you are willing to share them, please let me know in the comments. [UPDATE: Daniel passed along two versions of student notes from the course. Thanks a ton!]
Other works that come to mind (like Geerhardus Vos) but I'll stop.
So what about you? What other BT works have you benefited from?
Jesus and the Old Testament
A gem from the classic book by Geerhardus Vos—Biblical Theology (p 358):
"[Jesus] regarded the whole Old Testament movement as a divinely directed and inspired movement, as having arrived at its goal in himself, so that he himself in his historic appearance and work being taken away, the Old Testament would lose its purpose and significance. This none other could say. He was the confirmation and consummation of the Old Testament in his own person, and this yielded the one substratum of his interpretation of himself in the world of religion."
The Meaning of the Pentateuch
From Justin Taylor:
John Piper on John Sailhamer's just-published magnum opus, The Meaning of the Pentateuch (IVP, 2009):
To all pastors and serious readers of the Old Testament—geek, uber geek, under geek, no geek—if you graduated from high school and know the word "m e a n i n g," sell your latest Piper or Driscoll book and buy Sailhamer.
There is nothing like it. It will rock your world. You will never read the "Pentateuch" the same again. It is totally readable. You can skip all the footnotes and not miss a beat.
Last week, when Piper got the book, he tweeted: " I feel like a greedy miser over a chest of gold."
On Church and Culture
Today Kevin DeYoung posted the following quote from John Goldingay's soon to be released Old Testament Theology: Israel's Life (IVP, 2009)–
The Psalter goes on to protest about how things are in the world (Ps. 3; 4; 5). Here a link between politics and ethics on one hand and prayer on the other becomes more overt. The world's not being as it should be may be a reason for human initiative; it is certainly a reason for prayer. Ethical commitment without calling on God appropriates too much responsibility to us as human beings.
The Psalms will later declare that "Yhwh reigns" or "Yhwh is king" or "Yhwh has become king" (e.g., Ps. 96:10). Generally speaking, it does not look as if this is the case. Israel's world often looked like one in which Pharaoh or Sennacherib reigned, not Yhwh, as our world does not look like one in which Jesus is Lord. Like us, then, when Israel entered worship and declared that Yhwh reigned, it was often making statements that went against the evidence. It was creating a world.
Admittedly, talk of "creating a world" could be misleading. The Psalms' conviction is that in the real world (as opposed to the world that we see) Yhwh indeed reigns. In worship we are making the already-real reality in our ears and before our eyes. We may then be inspired to go and live out our ethical and political commitment in the world outside worship in the knowledge that the world in which Yhwh reigns is indeed the real world. But we would be unwise to make that a covert way of reckoning that it is our task to bring about Yhwh's reign, which would be laughable if it were not a Christian that is alive and well. (p. 27)
FYI—This latest volume is the third in Goldingay's large OT theology project:
(I Can't Get No) O.T. Preaching
Surveys estimate that around 8-percent of contemporary Christian sermons derive their origin from texts in the Old Testament. A good thought from the late OT scholar Gleason Archer:
"How can Christian pastors hope to feed their flock on a well-balanced spiritual diet if they completely neglect the 39 books of Holy Scripture on which Christ and all the New Testament authors received their own spiritual nourishment?"
- G. L. Archer, "A New Look at the Old Testament," Decision, August 1972, page 5.
Things that make you go hmm.
Full disclosure: I receive a nice diet of O.T. preaching. The Rolling Stones title was too good to pass up.
Preaching OT Narratives
The Simeon Trust is offering a 6-session workshop by John Woodhouse (Principal of Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia) on preaching Old Testament narratives. Woodhouse says in the first session: "I'll be arguing that we should take the time and trouble to study and appreciate the brilliance of these stories [OT narratives]. They should be part of our sermons. And I'll be trying to develop some insights into how we should do this. That's the journey we've embarked upon."

An Old Testament Theology by Bruce K. Waltke
Although I rarely purchase books at conferences, I spend a lot of time in conference bookstores. Part of this is purely because I've got some strains of N-E-R-D in my DNA. But I also linger around conference bookstores to watch and listen to what titles excite pastors. Which books get the most play? Which books sell out? Which books go untouched?
Focusing a bit of attention on a conference bookstore can prove revealing.
At Together for the Gospel '06 in Louisville I noted Mark Dever's two volumes of sermons throughout the entire Bible were recently released and both were on sale. One volume contained the sermons through the New Testament [The Message of the New Testament (Crossway: 2006)] and the other volume contained his sermons through the Old Testament [The Message of the Old Testament (Crossway: 2006)]. They were about the same size, price, format, and design — presented at the conference in equally tall stacks, sitting side-by-side. But despite these similarities, I noticed the Old Testament volume was selling much quicker than the New Testament. In fact, I had planned to make a rare conference purchase, only to be surprised the Old Testament volumes were soon gone! A pile of New Testament volumes remained on much later in the conference.
Both volumes were well received (as they should have). Mark Dever's gift of overview sermons is obvious and a great blessing to the Church. But also obvious was a pronounced interest in young, Reformed pastors to understand the theology and storyline of the Old Testament.
I think it's fair to say that for many pastors, the theology and storyline of the Old Testament is veiled in the shadows. Sure, we understand the first Adam and the second Adam, the first David and the second David, and the contours of the Abrahamic covenant. But do we truly understand how all those (sometimes very odd) Old Testament details fit together?
I'll be the first to say, No. My understanding of the Old Testament narratives and theology is woefully inadequate.
One new book has set out to help — An Old Testament Theology: An Exegetical, Canonical, and Thematic Approach (Zondervan: 2007) by Bruce Waltke. At 1,040 pages and 67-ounces, it's not the biggest volume published this year (the Banner of Truth just unleashed a 100-ounce volume!), but it's one of the most useful. I would argue this is one of the top-five most important books published in 2007.
Among reformed Old Testament scholars, Waltke is among the best. Just a glance through his biography at the Reformed Theological Seminary website and it becomes apparent his career has been fruitful. This new work is billed as the culmination of his lifelong work.
An Old Testament Theology: An Exegetical, Canonical, and Thematic Approach provides a detailed walk through the Old Testament narratives and theology. Waltke provides exceptional outlines to help the reader follow the flow of events and view the theological value at each step.
I would suggest the best way to familiarize yourself with the content is to browse the book at the Zondervan website here.
Identity Crisis?
With my theological background I lean towards premillenial dispensationalism. Waltke, however, is no dispensationalist, and thinks "classical dispensationalism" – by dividing God's relationship between Israel, Gentiles, and the Church – has been partly to blame in the contemporary ignorance of the Old Testament (pp. 42-43). I think that's a fair critique. But Waltke has also learned from dispensational theology and carefully appreciates the continuity and discontinuity with the Old Testament (p. 21). His presentation is sensitive to schools of differing theology.
But even a dispensationalist can appreciate Waltke's emphasis on the Old Testament and its value in helping us to understand our identity as God's children.
Our church culture is in a bit of an identity crisis. How do we relate to culture? Where do we fit? What identifies us as the Church? Add this to the Emergent emphasis on embarking on a journey — and that journey being presented as an end in itself — and I think it's possible for some to say the Church is struggling with an identity crisis.
For the purpose of forming our identity as God's children, Waltke is especially helpful. Take this one excerpt:
"The Old Testament contains much that seems trivial to the modern Christian. That is because we fail to understand the functions of these texts. Aside from teaching us about God, sin, and the need for redemption, a significant portion of the Old Testament recounts the history of the people of God. These are the narratives that constitute the memories of the Christian community. These memories inform our identity as Christians. Thus, Abraham is our spiritual father. His story becomes part of our past. The exodus, the monarchy of Israel and Judah, and the exile cease to be ancient tales of a distant people, but the triumphs and tragedies of our own history. Moreover, its ceremonial laws, such as abstaining from 'unclean' foods are 'visual aids' to instruct God's people of all ages to be pure. …
… the stories of the Old Testament communicate at a level beyond cognitive propositions. They challenge us to identify with Abraham as our father, to share his faith that rejoices to see the day of Jesus Christ, and to look forward to a heavenly city whose builder and maker is God. They engender a transformed self-perception and an altered worldview. This is one of the most powerful functions of the Old Testament; unfortunately, it is also one of the least understood among the community of faith. In sum, a goal of this theology is to help the covenant community understand their identity as the people of God within the context of the memories and hopes proclaimed in the Old Testament. In short, biblical theology 'is that learning by which a human being is made whole'" (p. 14).
And earlier, Waltke wrote:
"In the Bible we sail on the clouds to heaven, submarine down to the depths of our hearts, and are transported back to ancient kingdoms that serve as paradigms for interpreting the present. The Bible explores and answers with authority the most fundamental issues facing human beings: Who are we? What is the world and our place in it? How can we find happiness in this conflicted world? How do we deal with choices that confront us, and what happens as a result? This is the stuff of great literature, and the Bible is the greatest expression of it. This book is a profession of faith – a reasoning faith, I hope, and reasonable: what Saint Anselm called 'faith out on a quest to know'" (p. 10).
This emphasis on helping the Church find Her identity – on a journey to understand – is perhaps the great strength of Waltke's new work. This will happen as An Old Testament Theology equips expositors to grow more comfortable in the Old Testament narratives and encourages them to work through large sections of the Old Testament. Unashamedly, it's an Old Testament theology for the Church.
"Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to claim that the Bible is the fount of life, the source of identity, and the supreme arbiter of ethics. Therefore, it makes sense that a book written about the theology of the Old Testament should be written for the church. After all, this people has more at stake in understanding the Bible's message than anybody else – they are the ones committed to live out fully the implications of that message to the point of dying for its truth" (p. 19).
On my shelf An Old Testament Theology will sit next to The Message of the Old Testament by Mark Dever (Crossway: 2006) and Old Testament Theology by Paul House (IVP: 1998). All three are good but I think Waltke will best serve expositors and theologians as they help the Church define Her identity.
J.I. Packer calls this volume "pure gold." I would certainly agree that Waltke's new book is excellent. And if I'm reading you correctly, Waltke is one volume that many pastors and Christian readers will find timely and necessary.

Book Announcement
Exploring the Bible: A Guide to the Old and New Testaments
by R. Laird Harris, Samuel J. Schultz
Gary V. Smith and Walter M. Dunnett
I confess I have a weakness for books that provide broad sweeping overviews of the biblical storyline because I never get tired of reading authors who tie the various biblical threads together into one comprehensive picture of God's redemptive plan. (This explains why one of my favorite books of 2006 was Mark Dever's, Promises Made.) So I was especially excited to receive my copy of Exploring the Bible: A Guide to the Old and New Testaments (Crossway).
This new book extends far beyond a general overview of the biblical storyline because Exploring the Bible is really three books in one. The first of three books is "Exploring the Basics of the Bible" (pp. 9-114) which includes a helpful introduction to the Bible. Among other things this section includes an overview of inspiration, OT and NT authorship, how the bible was preserved, a primer on higher criticism, difficult bible questions, how to use commentaries, lexicons and the best methods of bible study.
The second book, "Exploring the Old Testament" (pp. 115-336), traces the OT narrative chronologically and later addresses the wisdom literature and prophets. The final book, "Exploring the New Testament" (pp. 337-440), progresses through the NT books generally in the order they appear in Scripture, pointing out broad topical themes.
Throughout this volume, the authors incorporate helpful charts and graphs to help the reader grasp the big picture. Discussion questions are printed at the end of each chapter to facilitate group discussion. Exploring the Bible will prove to be very valuable if you want bible study help, an intro to Scripture and overviews of the OT/NT storyline and themes.

Book review: Mark Dever, The Message of the Old Testament: Promises Made (1581347170)
I doubt I'm alone when I say the Old Testament in my Bible is largely unknown to me. This is probably due to the fact that it's not chronologically structured and many overlaps and gaps make things confusing. Such prospects can be despairing for a big-picture reader like myself.
Typically before I begin a book I question the themes and overall direction of what I'm about to read. It's the basic ABCs of critical thinking, really. However the historical big-picture of the Old Testament is often hard to discern and so the details are often disconnected.
Enter Mark Dever.
I remember my introduction to Mark Dever four years ago as a carpenter finishing a basement drywall project. I was somewhat new to drywalling myself, usually opting to hire an expert (the wise choice). So like an amateur, I made the mistake of applying too much drywall mud on the walls. Thus I sanded and sanded for several painful winter days while me and my .mp3 player were both covered in several layers of fine white dust. Audible amidst the white fog, however, Mark Dever preached on.
Over those days I listened to (and was sustained by) Dever's entire sermon series on New Testament (now also in print). I was amazed at the clarity of his messages and his uncanny ability to summarize whole NT books into nice packages. And I anticipated a survey of the Old Testament.
At Together for the Gospel in Louisville Dever's Old Testament survey was available for purchase and I jumped at the chance. Although several hundred of you jumped sooner I guess because they were sold out before I could get my hands on a copy. As soon as I returned home I ordered a copy and have not regretted it!
The book is simply a 960-page collection of sermon manuscripts. But don't be intimidated by its size. Dever's summary of the message of the Old Testament is terse and clear. With a broad brush he paints the major movements of the Old Testament to highlight the history of God's chosen nation. In fact, early in the book he summarizes the history of the Old Testament in about 2 pages! Very helpful for big-picture readers like myself.
This is one of the most helpful and (in a world of redundant publishing) truly original books. This volume will provide great help for preachers and laypersons wanting to unlock the message of the Old Testament.
As an unexpected bonus, wonderful reflection questions conclude each chapter perfectly suited for group study and personal meditation.
The Message of the Old Testament is the perfect balance of two worlds – letting the biblical storyline come alive for readers today AND addressing the pressing issues of our lives from the application of the ancient text. Buy it, read it, cherish it and some day pass it on to your children. It's one of those rare and priceless volumes that will bless your heart and your ministry.

How big do you think this baby is? Looke carefully! A woman in Orem, Utah gave birth to a baby that weighed 14 pounds.
The baby boy was born via C-section and measured 22 inches long. He is believed to be the heaviest baby born in the US this year.
He's so big that he already wears the same size diapers as his 2-year-old twin sisters.

Dallas residents may be interested in this news about a University of Connecticut basketball player who has been kicked off his basketball team due to failing a sobriety test. The 21-year-old man may also face a license suspension based on his charges, which include operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as well as others. Administrative License Revocation hearings, or ALR hearings, are the first chance you'll have to defend yourself and to protect your license in Texas, and with the right representation, you may be able to avoid the problems this young man may face in the near future.
On Sept. 9, a news release reported that the 21-year-old basketball player for the University of Connecticut has been charged with a DUI and has been suspended from his basketball team indefinitely. According to the police involved in the investigation, the man was pulled over near the Storrs campus. Police state that he failed his sobriety test, but did not release any information about why he had been pulled over.
The 21-year-old now faces charges including operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, and operating a vehicle in violation of license classification. The 21-year-old player now has been removed from his basketball team indefinitely, and a UConn spokesman claims it is due to violating unspecified team rules.
Driving while intoxicated can lead to serious charges and injuries, but you have a right to protect yourself and your reputation. At the ALR hearing held by the Texas Department of Public Safety, you may be able to have a defense lawyer question your arresting officers for information about the reason for your traffic stop. With the right defense, your case could even be dismissed based on the evidence received.

Number of ratings 13 / Average Grade: B Submit a correction
Chem 103 203
The teacher is very nice and he gives take home quizzes that can be challenging. You just need to understand the material and you will do good in his class. Do the questions that are in the book because they will help you when it comes to the test.
This is a COLLEGE level science course, he can be rude but he tells you that you'll need to put the time into the class, and if you do you will succeed. He states exactly what he wants done, and the quizzes are take home ones, he wants you to use the book and the internet to do it right. Doesn't use book much but it is VERY descriptive and helpful
This professor is mad easy! I have no idea why people dissing him, really. Just make sure you do the weekly "quizzes" without looking at the answers online and you'll be just fine.
He is a tough taskmaster. His makes his own exams and they are very short. But he is also very thourough, and will bend over backwards to make sure you understand the material. I arranged my next semester schedule around his chem 2 class.
He's an awful professor. Flies through all the material, and expects you to learn everything too fast, almost like its just a review but its not. Doesnt explain much, so you have to do most of it on your own. And the exams are pretty hard too, and many quizzes. many dropped the course. would not recommend.
Very Hard. He has very high expectations & moves very fast. He's easily irratated & some times a little snippy. He expects everyone to spend triple the amount of time studying for the course. Tests every friday. His grading system also stinks. Just withdrew this class & DO NOT plan on taking another with him. DO NOT recommend.
expects you to know about the material prior to coming to class
Did not think this would be as hard as it was...i withdrew as well as many others. Couldn't grasp the material and the weekly quizzes given on friday and due on monday morning didn't help when not all material was covered. Lab wasn't to hard at all...they can reach out to the smart kids who get "it". I'm dreading trying to retake it...
He gives a take home quiz every friday on things he hasnt taught yet. i have taken days off of work to try and get a good grade on them. theyre too hard. and then he shows you how to do them monday after theyre due
Okay professor. He is challenging, and you need to do a lot of work on your own. Can be difficult at times, but if you can motivate yourself, you will succeed in his class. Problem is, over half my class apparently can't do that and have dropped it.
His way of teaching is not clear until after you have taken a quiz/exam and failed. And when he explains the material you have already failed you understand it better but its too late. In my class 15 people out of 23 dropped the class, that should say something. But STCC will keep him because he makes them money when those 15 retake the class again
He's a challenging professor who really requires you to know the material to pass the course. He's a stickler for "neatness," but his grading is fair.
people like this should not be teaching they have no concept of what teaching is and is there for only the paycheck.

The term "Arab world" or "Islamic world" is only a description that in fact has nothing to do with the notion of unity and its obligations.
Quote:The Muslim Arab countries were introduced to the nation state attaining independence. So, now they play according to their private interests just like all the countries. Well, yes, those private interests can be of religious or sectarian nature. However, this doesn't mean they are doing it for the mere love of Allah. It's all about influence and power even through foreign affairs.
KSA specifically supports Salafism. Al Saud took over Mecca for they knew they would get huge economical benefit, let alone the political influence. I don't think they even care about religion, yet they had to collaborate with the Wahhabis in order to accomplish that and here resides the religious aspect, the gown they had to put on, the Wahabbi Salafism.
A monarchy claiming it applies Islam which is supposedly against monarchy!
This is how I define KSA

Ways the SSTFI asks for abstracts:
- Typed in the on-line registration for each project
- Submitted in hard copy with SRC paperwork
- Displayed vertically on the project (board or table) at the fair.
- The typed in version during on-line registration is used exclusively for judging purposes
- The hard copy submitted with SRC paperwork is used exclusively by the SRC in addition to the research plan to ensure they have a full understanding of the research.
- The abstract on the project at the fair is used by many people – judges, the general public, SSTFI staff.
The following are in depth answers to how we use them:
- Typed version during on-line registration
- Many of our scholarship sponsors and special award sponsors request a copy of the project entry database 2 weeks prior to the fair to review. They will be sent this Wednesday along with the floor layouts (some special award sponsors build their entire judging route/plan from this information)
- They utilize titles, abstracts and the award categories selected on-line to narrow down their list of projects they want to meet with.
- Our special award sponsors want to talk to as many students as possible; however, they also know they cannot talk to all 500 projects. They want to ensure their focus is narrowed prior to judging at the fair.
- This does NOT mean that they don't take a look over the projects while at the fair. During judging orientation they are encouraged to at least walk around and note any projects on their lists they may have missed in the initial paper review.
- That said they do truly appreciate having abstracts to review to help narrow the list slightly. Sometimes a title alone cannot completely express what the research is about.
- Our special award chair also is asked by other sponsors to put together lists for them before they arrive and she also uses titles, abstracts and the marked award categories.
- In addition, we will print all of the abstracts and place them in a binder in the fair office for review if judges wish to review something further at the fair either before going out or to review after judging the projects.
- We often receive press calls and this book is also used by us to give reporters an idea of what is out on the floor. Granted often a catchy title will draw their eye but some also utilize the abstract info.
- SENIOR HIGH – this is very important for senior high students and teachers to know. The senior high judging committee merges the abstracts into their print function when pulling together and printing the judging forms. Every senior high judging form has the abstract printed on the reverse side. This abstract is directly pulled from the database.
- How do the judges use these? Saturday am before the students arrive during the judging review they review the forms and read abstracts either before or after reviewing the floor projects. The first item they are instructed to read when reviewing the floor projects are the abstracts on the project.
- During the final discussions judges also have the judging forms in front of them and an abstract can help refresh their memory regarding the projects being discussed for finalists. This is just a help – in cases of serious discussion or argument the judges go back out on the floor.
- The SSTFI does NOT make this field on the on-line registration a required field because we realize not all students have one completed at the time of registration. At this time we also don't have the ability functioned in for students or teachers to add this in after submission.
- If you send me an electronic copy that I can cut and paste I am able to update your project on-line entries. I am happy to do this up to Monday, March 26th. (see below for further instructions) After the 26th the database will be locked down, cleaned one last time in order for participation certificates and judging forms to be printed.
- The SRC sometimes needs information regarding the research that they can only find in the abstract. The research plans give good insight but an abstract also provides valuable information.
- If you did not submit a hard copy the SRC will list it as an SRC violation and you be asked to submit a copy to their booth at the fair.
- This is often the first piece of information the judges on the floor look for. The abstract can give valuable information as well as an overall view of the research.
- Our Display and Safety Committee and the floor will be looking for these abstracts at the projects and will have a student type or write one if it is not there.
- The abstract can give the general public a good idea of what a project is about.
- The abstract does NOT have to be attached to the project board. It is also allowable to have it vertically displayed on the project table. Many people use picture/document frames or pamphlet holders when displaying the abstract on the table.
Pros: Easy to see/find; good eye location for judges
Cons: Space can be at a premium on the board; not always room; often abstracts need modification and this can make it difficult to change
Pros: Easy to see/find; judges can pick it up to easily read; allows more space on board for other items; if the abstract is modified it is easy to change; protected
Cons: Cost of the frame; it is possible for it to accidently walk off (although very rare)
Example 3: Abstract attached directly to table front (usually with tape or push pin)
Pros: Visible; leaves space open on board and on table; easy to change out if modifications are made; no cost for frame
Cons: Hard for judges/people to read without bending over; can be easy to accidently tear or fall off the edge
Although example 3 is not always the ideal for the abstract this is the best option for the other forms that should be vertically displayed (Form 1C and Form 7).
In summary:
- Yes, we need it 3 different ways
- Yes, we utilize each version very differently
- Yes, the abstract is important
- Yes, if you are exhibiting in Senior High competition it is in your best interest to submit an electronic copy
You have until Monday, March 26th, 2012 to e-mail me an abstract to update your on-line entry.
PLEASE check your teacher list http://www.sciencefairofiowa.org/teachers/get-project-report.html to ensure the abstract wasn't already entered before sending to me!
I will only accept these in some electronic version. It can be in the body of the email, it can be an attachment (preferably Word or pdf). The only thing I require is -- YOU MUST have the PROJECT ID listed in the e-mail and with the file or I will send it back to you.

Michael Signer
Palgrave Macmillan Trade
"Demagogue is a simply extraordinary book. A fascinating work of political theory, an eloquent response to the Bush administration's disastrous efforts at promoting democracy, a roadmap for progressives seeking to chart a new foreign policy direction and an intellectual lifeline for anyone who believes America should be on freedom's side, and knows, in their heart, that there must be a better way."--Peter Beinart, author of The Good Fight: Why Liberals--and Only Liberals--Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations
"The demagogue is the only enemy of democracy who pretends to be its friend. Michael Signer's erudite and eloquent defense of constitutional democracy against its demagogic counterfeit should be required reading for the citizens of established and emerging democracies alike." --Michael Lind, author of The American Way of Strategy: U.S. Foreign Policy and the American Way of Life
"Since our founding, Americans have seen our country's mission as bringing democracy to people around the world. The past few years have seen a lot of debate about how to spread democracy, but almost none about how to keep it alive in places where it is under attack. With a grounding in history and philosophy, Michael Signer offers an original foreign policy vision for the 21st century that puts democracy protection alongside democracy promotion. This is vital reading for anyone who cares about one of the great international challenges of the years ahead."-- Andrei Cherny, Co-Editor Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, author The Next Deal and The Candy Bombers
"Michael Signer has written a strikingly original book. Demagogue tells the story of democracy by analyzing its antithesis – the often frighteningly charismatic leader who draws his strength from his purported connection to the demos itself. Amid the myriad studies of democracy and waves of democratization, of rising incomes, civil society, institutions and elections, Signer brings the human element back into the equation. The demagogue, he argues, is an eternal element in democracy's rise and fall, one that we ignore today, from Venezuela to Russia, at our peril."--Anne-Marie Slaughter, Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University and author of The Idea That Is America
"With American democracy facing so many challenges at home and abroad, Demagogue could not have come at a more important moment. Michael Signer has given us a deeply thoughtful book, shedding new light on one of the most important ideas in American foreign policy and drawing vivid portraits of some of history's most troubling and pivotal figures. Written with refreshing clarity and flair, this is a book to enjoy – and not soon forget." --Derek Chollet, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and coauthor of America Between the Wars

PropertyOfZack Warped Blog : : Freshman 15 (Final Update)
From Freshman 15:
(June 28, 2011) Today was our second day off between the San Antonio and Las Cruces dates and to pass the time we're going to the fourth annual Warped charity-bowling tournament. Pretty much, the way this works is that twenty-five or so bands all bowl against each other with the last member of their team being someone who won an eBay auction. It was a lot of fun and we got to hang out with our new buddies in Every Avenue, The Dance Party, and Shut Up and Deal among others. We got to meet the lead singer of Unwritten Law who was the nicest guy as well as Joe Marro of Hellogoodbye. Speaking of Hellogoodbye, they were the team that actually won the tournament beating out August Burns Red by fourteen pins. There aren't really many, if any other instances where you will say Hellogoodbye and August Burns Red in the same sentence, which is why Warped Tour is as awesome as it is. After going back to the hotel that Every Avenue was parked outside, we pulled up behind another bus temporarily blinding the guys sitting behind it in lawn chairs. Lo and behold, those guys were members and crew of The Devil Wears Prada. Those guys are some of the nicest dudes and are really chill and down to earth. It was definitely one of those situations that you like a band but once you meet them and they're great it makes you like them that much more. After blowing their bus drivers mind by showing him how we sleep in the van, we called it a night so we were all energized for our last two days on the tour.
(June 29, 2011) After our merch guy was being cuddled continuously all night by Davey, we woke up for our second to last day at Warped Tour at the New Mexico State University practice field in Las Cruces. One of the first things you notice is the heat here is really weird. It's obviously hot, you can feel that, but unlike all of the Texas dates, you don't really sweat much at all. The layout of the stages was a little bit confusing at first. We kept getting lost on the way back to our tent and for some reason continuously wound up at the Kevin Says Stage instead of ours whenever we went to look for it. The kids in New Mexico were awesome though, which quickly made you forget about the layout and blistering heat. We actually had quite a few different people come up to the tent and tell us that they came for F15 or that we were one of the main bands they were looking forward to seeing. It's really cool for us, when we go to places like this that not only have we never been to before but we've never really even been close and there are kids who not only know who Freshman 15 is, but are really stoked on us. Leo and Kyle started their day off by checking out our new buddies in TDWP and they absolutely killed it for a fantastic way to kick off the day. After handing out posters and free download cards for a couple hours, we wandered over to watch Of Mice & Men for a bit. They are really tight live and we could see why the kids were into them as much as they were. Next we went to catering which was great as usual, but we didn't have much time to sit and eat because we wanted to catch one of our favorites from the tour: Relient K. They are so good live it is ridiculous. Every song sounds perfect and even when things were going wrong, you would have never known if they weren't motioning to their crew to fix it. We played our earliest set of the tour today at 4:50 and unfortunately it was going up against a couple of the big dogs. We still drew a pretty nice sized crowd including one very awesome fan in particular. At some point in the day, the Daveys ran into Matt Thiessen of Relient K and just started talking to him and asked him to come check out the set. To the surprise of everyone, there he was right in the middle of the crowd to watch the whole thing. He even got into the joke of not clapping and pumping your fists instead. It was a dream come true for usand it was just crazy to watch him get into the set and actually enjoy himself. Mr. Thiessen is the man and we certainly hope that our paths will cross again sometime in the near future. To close out the night, we hit up Simple Plan's set as we have every night that we've been on the tour and yet again they knocked it out of the park. I guess after doing it for so long you just get into a rhythm and are able to be the best every time, but its still nuts to watch them continuously be awesome every night. Unfortunately, we couldn't do our usual hang out sesh with our new friends at the BBQ because the drive from Las Cruces to Las Vegas was a staggering eleven hours, so we packed it up right away and hit the road for what was certainly going to be a bummer of a day.

need advise about window dressings
Mary Smith
January 3, 2013 in Design Dilemma
The living room seems drab with only blinds, I wanted to have drapes go from the upper window down to the floor, but the window over the fireplace is making me wonder if it would look ok. (and what to do with it) The living room is small in an open concept condo and a little colorless. Any ideas,
Don't do that long, skinny, curtain thing. There's a bunch of pics on this site and it just looks odd and emphasizes the poorly proportioned rooms so many are forced to live with these days. Those windows are a good size for roman shades. Ignore the space up top, try to just use it for light and bring the eye down into the human portion of the room by creating a sight line where a normal ceiling height would be.
I second jenpa8's advice. Those windows are perfect candidates for roman shades. Because you have so much light coming from the upper windows, you could even leave the shades down 3/4 of the height of the window indefinitely and not sacrifice the natural light in the room.
Julie Thome Draperies, Inc.
Well you could not do the long skinny curtain thing or you could do the long FULL curtain thing. One panel each side of the fireplace,coming from the top, very full and pulled back above the lower windows would certainly add a lot of drama and color. It will however cover most of the two side top windows and part of the bottom windows. Leave the center window alone.
Otherwise as the others have suggested some pretty roman shades on the lower windows and hopefully you don't even notice the top windows.
I've never understood why builders do these double height rooms. As well as being difficult to get to, the windows never look right to me. I imagine that any window coverings you have on the top are motorized/

Wow your space has some wonderful natural light. I would suggest that you first pick some colours for the wall. I would use three colours from the same family. I would use one for the walls, one for the inside of the tv cabinet and one to paint out the fireplace. If you could post a few more pictures of the space that would be great. I would just like to see the floor and the furniture so I could suggest some specfic colours.
Mary Smith
I did have Merlot sheers up on the lower windows ...half on each window swagged. Just thought I needed a change. The light is great and the blinds can angle so the sun is where you want it in all seasons.I like the vaulted ceiling and think it would look funny without windows up there. When you live in northern Canada you need lots of winter light as well. I will take more pictures and post them later.

My first thought was actually a very tall vertical triptych on the wall behind the sofa.

This is what my old curtains looked like, it was very bright outside so they are actually a darker shade than what the picture shows.

I do like your Idea ... however this is a condo and we also angle the venetians for privacy. The first two Ladies suggested the same thing, but I thought of something to go over the venietians

I would definitely recommend beautiful floor to ceiling drapery panels!!! Will make a room elegant and complete. No roman shades please, we need to highlight the architectural feature, not to make it look like a regular space, and trust me - you will not sacrifice the light, still be plenty . Please see attached photos of my previous projects.

If you could configure the Homepage field to _not_ print a hyperlink but just print the URL, OR if we would insert the hyperlink with javascript (so that it was useless to most crawlers), a lot of this human submitted spam would go away. Drupal's comment configuration options are very much to blame for the trend we're seeing. I hacked the comment module on Robshouse.net to not print hyperlinks.

Murray Hill at a Glance
Murray Hill is a neighborhood located in Midtown Manhattan. This neighborhood is located near Curry Hill, another ethnic enclave in Manhattan. Curry Hill has a large Indian population and a high concentration of Indian restaurants, in case workers wish to have Indian food while on a lunch break. Furthermore, Murray Hill has a mystique all on its own. The neighborhood is located near the Empire State Building and is just south of Grand Central. Grand Central is one of the most populated areas of Manhattan because all of the people that use Grand Central to travel within Manhattan. There are also a lot of people leaving and entering Manhattan through Grand Central. Grand Central is a beautiful location for workers to explore during their free time. Murray Hill used to be an area where wealthy residents used to live. Today, the brownstones still exist, but most of the brownstones have been subdivided and become rental apartments. The neighborhood is filled with many recent college graduates because the apartments are significantly cheaper than other areas of Manhattan. Additionally, the neighborhood is excellent for businesses that want to work near where they live because apartments in this neighborhood are more reasonable. Most people that work in Murray Hill also live close by and so there is also a residential feeling to the neighborhood. If you are a growing business that is looking for a great neighborhood in Manhattan to relocate your business, then you should look into Murray Hill.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Jaguar XK, A two headed cat! by Chip C from Ohio on 12/03/2013. Trim: 2013 Jaguar XK Series, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Styling, fit and finish, the over all performance of the car for being a GT is great
Cons: Touch screen controls could be a lot faster.
Overall review: When you are driving it casually it can be soft and comfortable and quite frankly a joy to drive, but when you find yourself staring at a newly found curvy road, it can be anything but subdued. At the push of one button and the flip of either shift paddle that is mounted behind the steering wheel; the car becomes something entirely different. I like to think of it, as it's slightly meaner alter ego. The car is extraordinarily confident when it is pushed. The handling is light, the steering is precise and the entire car is nimble and responsive, and dare I say It, the car is so well put together and tuned that I'm sure it raises the talent level of many of the people who drive it. What more could you ask for in a true GT!

I was at a fraternity party one time and a guy said " Ewww I don't wanna kiss her with THAT nose" ( not even sure why he was talking about kissing me)
I was pretty upset at the time.
But it has been a while now and I look back and laugh. I wasn't missing out on anything, he was :P
(submitted by capmorkno)
Wow. I could go on for pages about that, but I'll keep it short and say that your nose is gorgeous, and that guy can go die in a fire.

The participants commented on the great impression of New Zealand they had received from the session with the Ambassador. The visit highlighted the positive links between New Zealand and Korea through education.

Feast of Fiction fakes Nuka-Cola, Perk-a-Cola, and Bonk!
Love Jimmy and Ashley on Feast of Fiction. LOVE 'EM! But man, they totally cheaped out this week, and I say that in the most loving way possible!
Their latest subjects were Nuka-Cola from Fallout, Perk-a-Cola from Call of Duty, and Bonk! soft drinks from Team Fortress 2. Rather than attempt to concoct the beverages from scratch, or at least mix up sodas and flavorings, they opted to leave the drinks alone and instead worked on presentation. Consider this episode an arts-and-crafts break from the usual kitchen shenanigans.
I know they could brew something tasty if they tried! Next time, Gadget! Next time!

It's back to school time, and that means there are schoolhouse essentials you've got to pick up before that first bell rings. Make sure your teen isn't missing the boat with this checklist of the 5 back to school must-haves.
1. The Outfit
The first day of school is all about setting the tone. Take your kid on a shopping trip, but let them make the major style decisions. Whether you've got a sporty, preppy, or arty kid on your hands, with a little bit of guidance -- and eye on your wallet -- you'll both find something to be excited about as he boards the bus.
2. A Good Backpack
Now that your kids are older, the books get bigger, and the snacks become more plentiful. She's going to need a sturdy option that will last throughout the entire school year. While sparkly, vibrant, or themed trends are fun, also pay attention to the utilitarian aspects of the backpack. You'll want to see this backpack make it to the next summer break.
3. School Supplies
Stock up so yours isn't the kid that has to ask others for a pen, or worse, a chewed-up pencil! If there's a list from the school, follow it closely. Otherwise, take your teen through the supplies aisle and talk about what they need for each class and extracurricular.
4. Lunch Bag
For most kids, the lunch bag is an extension of their own style. While you can control what goes in the bag, let them pick what's on the outside. With so many designs to choose from, no one will have to resort to the brown paper bag.
5. Calendar
How is your child going to remember when he has football practice? Or better yet, how will you remember? Keeping a calendar will help the whole family stay on schedule. There are so many types of schedule keepers, talk to the kids and figure out which one is the best option to help keep you all on track.

Done and Done. First full weel of school and we are all set.
I love back to school shopping with my kids! It brings me back to the days of being young and shopping for my own supplies! sigh* :)
Surprisingly, the list stays pretty much the same for college - LOL!!! You can change out lunch bag for dorm linens.
Do you have a child in middle or high school? Not many in my kids' schools would be caught dead with a lunch bag. Maybe it's regional or something.
Except for the outfit, I totally agree. We had a great first day.
I would suggest a day planner/homework journal/book/daily assignment log
Got my son a Phineas and Ferb back pack and lunch bag set. Now I just need to get the little items.
I agree with them all but a calendar...my daughter relies on me for that one but she does have an agenda which is an organizer that she writes her homework in etc.....she has picked her first outfit for the 1st day of school, a Monster High back pack and has a lunch bag I picked her out last fall that was on clearance. All supplies are bought but two sanitizers!!!
