The workflow for producing correctly formatted body copy for the web can be broken down to three major steps:
Write your body copy in a word processor
HTML editors – including Notepad, TextEdit, (in the mode we are using it in), DreamWeaver, Web Expressions, and others – do not understand the subtleness of typography. However word processors – such as Microsoft Word and the OpenOffice suite – do. They will correctly encode the majority of our body text, including correct apostrophes and hyphens.
Word processors also give the advantage of checking your work inline – that is, "on the fly", as you type, for grammar and spelling errors.
Word processors are also very useful tools to share body copy with clients. Most have an option to "track changes", so that when a client alters or adds body copy in a document you can tell when and where. This is a lot easier than trying to have the client work on a web page, or having them communicate changes via phone or eMail. (We will address working with clients later).
Transfer this body copy into your HTML document via copy-and-paste
Apply appropriate markup manually, or generate tags using an online utlity like Word to Clean HTML or DreamWeaver's built-in Word text conversion tools.
Inevitably you will have to edit and further clean up the resulting code. There are several tags that produce semantic and typographical changes:
The inline element
<q>is used for short quotations, and will produce the correct opening and closing "smart" quotes.

, a block tag, wraps around a larger quotation from a source. (For this reason, text inside the

is often divided up into several paragraphs).

indents the enclosed text by default, but remember it is the meaning that counts, not its default appearance.

does not automatically produce quote marks, although it can be made to do so via CSS.

introduces a horizontal rule, a visual break between text elements.
is for an inline citation of a book, film, article or other work. In terms of presentation, it italicizes content by default.
Add HTML Entities into the body copy where appropriate.
For the most part the previous steps will take care of most basic typography issues. There are, however, a few characters that can be tricky to generate in a word processor if you don't know how: for example, the correct characters for feet and inches (they're not single and double quotes: use the HTML entities
″ and
′ instead; note that HTML entities are case-sensitive), the character for degree (as in "It's 39°C outside.":
°), how to do a correct common fraction (
&frac followed by the numerator and denominator: for example,
¾ to generate ¾), and others.

Survivor STORY
Murray Lynn, originally Moshe Leicht, was born in 1930 in Bilke, Hungary, later part of the U.S.S.R. and now located in Ukraine. Murray was the oldest of four children of a middle class family. His father, Abraham, owned a clothing store and a farm, where the children often worked after school.
In 1942, when Murray was twelve years old, the Hungarian secret police burst into their house and arrested his father. Murray found out later that his father and the other Jewish leaders arrested that night were taken on into the mountains and ordered to dig their own mass grave, into which they were shot.
Two years later, in April, 1944, the Arrow Cross, the Hungarian equivalent of the Gestapo, surrounded all the Jewish homes in Bilke. After a short time in a ghetto, Murray and his family were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where his mother and three brothers were immediately taken to be murdered in the gas chamber. Murray was forced to work twelve-hour days in construction sites.
As the Allied forces approached, the prisoners were evacuated from Auschwitz and forced on a death march that lasted for many weeks. Well over half of those who left Auschwitz with Murray perished along the way.
Murray was liberated by American forces in April, 1945. He was fifteen years old at the time and in a semi-comatose condition. He was taken to a hospital, where he spent three weeks recovering. Rather than go to a displaced person's camp, Murray went back home to Bilke, hoping in vain to find family. He then joined up with a group of other young, orphaned survivors, with whom he went to England and then to Dublin, Ireland.
In 1948, Murray left Europe for New York, then came south to Atlanta, where he married and started his career. He recently retired from his position as an executive in the corporate sector.
Murray writes that he speaks to groups of students here in The Museum for two reasons: "Hopefully this story...will make you more mindful of the evils of intolerance...You and your generation will carry and promote the torch of freedom and democracy in the years to come." Secondly, he speaks in order "to validate, as a Holocaust survivor, the enormity of the barbaric carnage against the Jews during the Second World War. Incredibly, there is a well-organized fringe group of fascist and Nazi sympathizers in a number of countries committed to distorting and altering the well-documented truth and trivializing-even denying-the fact of the Holocaust."
There are other traumatic experiences in my childhood that I will always remember, that it was deeply etched in my psyche, is that after my father was taken away, my mom was a Hungarian beauty queen. She was a stunning woman, tall, stately looking. One evening, one of security policemen came in and forced himself on her. This is when I was roughly twelve, twelve and a half years old. And he wouldn't leave. He insisted to go to bed with my mom. And my mom fought him, and she screamed and she cried. I got up and the policeman, the security policeman told me, the security policeman told me if I didn't leave he would shoot me dead. I had to leave, my mom told me to leave. When I went back to bed and woke up he was gone. But I still, I can still see the trauma in my mother's eyes, the pain, the grief, the anguish. It's an experience I will never forget. This was one, next to my father being taken away; this was one of the most traumatic experiences. I have difficulties coping with this so many years later. What they did to Mom. She was a, such a wonderful, wonderful human being, a wonderful wife and a mother, and for her to be desanctified that way, to be raped by an enemy of the Jews, by a person who was so hateful of Jews and the manner it was done. This was a traumatic experience that I will carry to the grave with me.American Dream
Well, I was a, I was a very determined sort of a guy. I knew what I wanted in life. I wanted to rebuild my life. My entire motives were to come to a place where I'm only limited by my ambitions and not, and not, and nothing else, where opportunities are provided, equal opportunities are provided to everyone. And I had goals to rebuild my life. My life was shattered. I had no money. I had no relatives, I was the only, well, I had some relative in New York, when I came to New York, an aunt and uncle. I had, the only thing that I had going for me as a youngster is that I knew I wanted to make something out of my life. I wanted to succeed, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. But I knew also that in order to succeed I had to get a decent education, so my determination to get an education and make something out of my life. I knew that unless I can overcome my lack of education, which was a barrier. The only barriers in life that we have, and I've maintained this much of my business career, the only barriers we have in our lives are our minds and ambitions and nothing else. And to some extent education, or lack of it, can be a barrier. But I decided that this is something I can control. There are certain things I couldn't control - I couldn't control Hitler, I couldn't control my destiny, in, under, in Auschwitz. But I could control the rest of my destiny. And I took full charge of my destiny.Judaism and Jewishness
Having seen the immense depth of suffering, the abyss of human suffering, it left me literally faithless. I said earlier that my god was desanctified in Auschwitz when my parents died, when I saw the staggering amount of suffering, the humiliation, the degradation and I saw religious people, who were devoutly religious, pleading for mercy and their voices went unheeded. And I said to myself, this man above us is either a very cruel person or an impotent person. In either case, I don't want any part of Him for the rest of my life. So He became, in my eyes, God became desanctified. But that is not to say that I have shed myself of my heritage. No, we're very Jewish, we belong to a temple. But I have had a very difficult time becoming a serious Jew in terms, as defined by religion.Talking About the Holocaust
I have not spoken about my past for 50 years. It's only in the last four or five years that I've opened. My family knows very little about my past, because it was too painful, too difficult, and I was really concerned about talking about it. I was afraid it might open too many wounds. But as I got older, I mellowed. I said, "The curtain is slowly coming down on us. This is our last act in our life's drama and the curtain is slowly coming down. If we don't tell the story, to authenticize the horrors, who will?" Much of it has been already said, but the more we say, the more we share, the more secure future generations will be. So I have mellowed my views on this to a large extent, but it's still difficult. I still don't want to confront the past. You know, when you talk about what happened you're confronting the past and none of us likes to confront ugly things in life, whether they're personal in nature or failures, whatever. And so when you're dealing with the past you're confronting a part of your life that you want to forget. It's very, very difficult.

In separate sessions, I had a chance to talk recently with both Matt McRae, the CTO of Vizio, and Anthony Wood, the CEO of Roku. Both are long-time consumer tech guys, but more importantly both are guys who have been focused on living room tech and TV tech for at least a decade.
There's a lot of talk about how the remote can change pretty radically, with many pointing to either motion sensing technology and voice as key interfaces for the future. Others are pointing to touchscreens.
Not surprising was both focused on simplicity. More interesting was this focus meant both Matt and Anthony believed the classic remote push button/up-down-left-right had a lot of life left.
Take a listen.

Stanford and Digicel strike deal over $20m series- 10 Oct 2008 00:00:00
A compromise between Sir Allen Stanford and West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) team sponsor Digicel means that the Twenty20 game will go on as planned.
The tournament, which will be held at Stanford Cricket Ground and involves a $20m winner's prize, was at risk of being cancelled after the sponsor claimed it could not sanction the match.
Revealed yesterday, the deal was struck by Denis O'Brien, Digicel's owner, and Stanford after he lost a High Court hearing in London and involves the later making certain concessions over branding.
Stanford had argued that because the team playing England was not a representative side of the WICB, Digicel did not have any rights and thus it should only have minimal branding on the bowlers' run-ups and boundary boards. The sponsor was looking for a bigger role in the limelight, as the game will receive a great amount of publicity considering the large winner-takes-all reward.
Despite the case outcome not leaning in his favour, Stanford said he was "pleased with both parties' solution oriented approach, and most importantly, that this matter has been finally resolved."
Indeed, as the peace deal now means the game can go forward, with England taking on Stanford Superstars XI on 1 November in the Caribbean for the grand prize.
The winning team will receive $1m (£581,618) for each player with the remaining cash being given to the rest of the management team, as well as the England and West Indies governing bodies.
The compromise also means that the Stanford Super Series will go on as well, which involves multiple games including English Twenty20 champions Middlesex, teams Trinidad and Tobago, and the two international XI's.
Now that these matches are officially on, attention will turn to England as it has its eye on what has been deemed the richest team prize for a sporting tournament.

According to J.D. Power and Associates' recently released eighth annual U.S. Wireless Customer Care Performance Study, T-Mobile tops other top U.S. wireless carriers in overall customer care. T-Mobile received a ranking of 777 out of a possible 1,000 points.
The study is based on a survey of 9,690 wireless customers who contacted their carrier's customer service department over the past six months. AT&T followed T-Mobile with a score of 757, followed by Verizon Wireless (749) and Sprint (734). According to the survey, the industry average is 753.
The report is based on how well the carriers were able to assist their customers via telephone, through in-store visits, or on the Web. Although 60% of wireless users sought help over the telephone, the survey noted that there are an increasing number of people who are using in-store and Web visits. The people who visited a store to fix a problem reported being more satisfied than they are when they utilize other methods of contact.
The study also finds several key wireless customer care patterns:
If you put this on a Letter grade scale... they would all get "C"s
That's pretty poor. It's like they are all doing just enough to pass.
And they are all pretty close to each other.
Also the whole switching thing...
People are lazy and they would rather not deal with the whole hassel of switch and will continue to all themselves to be screwed and pay more than they have too until they are finally pushed to far.
At first I was confused by the survey results (why isn't AT&T at the bottom?), but then I realized that this survey deals only with customer support and not the actual service itself. Perhaps AT&T is up near the top in this survey because they have had so much practice fielding support calls! Take a look HERE if you would like to see what Consumer Reports says about cell phone service providers.
SPAM-posters beware! ®
I had never had to call tech support from any of them :D.
Im currently on hold for 1 hour so far with blizzard tech support for the second time in 2 days :(.Longest wait i have had with tech support and they play wow music on it...
lawl... Why are you calling blizzard tech support? lol
Are there that many problems with the new Startcraft game?
I agree.. They would be in the C range.
They are not really bad, or really good so they are averaged out as the best!
JD Power must have been copying my notes; I've been telling anyone who sits still long enough to listen about my good experiences with T-Mobile and my bad experiences elsewhere.
There have been rumours of the iPhone coming to T-Mobile when Apple's exclusive contract with AT&T expires. Of course, you can take this with the usual grain of salt, but: I recently got an offer for a $15/month, unlimited voice, text, and data plan. Oh-- well-- not quite unlimited; they charge extra for video chat.
Huh. Why would they say that? Maybe preparing to get a lot of users running a FaceTime-like app? As Mr. Data would say, "Intriguing."
"I didn't cry when Bambi's mother was shot... but I cried when HAL was turned off."
I've been telling anyone who sits still long enough to listen about my good experiences with T-Mobile and my bad experiences elsewhere.
I've been telling anyone who sits still long enough to listen about my good experiences with T-Mobile and my bad experiences elsewhere.
lol.. that's me with USAA products lol
Also... did that $15/month plan turn out to be legit? Are there any strings attached? Like it's only good for 3 monthes and then it goes up to $150/month lol?
USAA is a good insurance company also, but I'm not eligible. (Not for lack of trying. I attempted to enlist into three branches of the service, but my eyes kept me out of all of them.)
I'll be in town on Wednesday, so I'll check the T-Mobile offer and report on it.

I agree with many of the points. However, I want more randomness in the instances, even if it is only on heroic difficulty. Rare spawn bosses, Optional bosses, optional mechanics. Even if it steals from Harry Potter, and has staircases that move each time you zone in, so you do the first couple bosses in a different order every time you go in, I want something to change when we're farming them. The closest we've gotten to randomness is the Paletress v Eadric in ToC.
I love any ideas that bolster First Aid. Bandages that are specifically to remove bleed effects. Others to remove Physical effects, like the "noggin crack" or thereabouts. Maybe quick bandages that heal a lot, but give you a debuff that gives a low chance for melee strikes to cause bleeds. Bandages that you could apply prematurely, and in stacks, as a PoM style preventative healing. 2- to 5- Minute inoculations against Poisons or disease attacks.
Even something as simple as Move Healing potions from alchemy to First aid, but keep the upgraded potions (crazy, mad, insane, endless) in Alch, would be a HUGE boon to the profession. I would also love to see a tie-in between Skinning and First aid, so everyone can use all that leather that we skin & sell for a single profession

I had heard the Hottest Writing Group would be in Seattle. "Suzy Vitello & Friends / Adult Bedtime Stories" at Elliot Bay Book Company. Guests were invited to arrive in PJs with a blanket (and get a box of chocolates). I don't go "in costume", but I dress up and I had already picked out the slinky blue lace nightie my friends had brought back with them from Paris for my bridal shower (that was 14 years ago), and decided to pair it with fishnets. No flannel or fleece for me, I don't care that I live in the Pacific Northwest, I prefer to overdress for each and every occasion I can. Lipstick required. Rhinestones too. Fake eyelashes if I have time to apply.
I was nervous. Nervous because the last time I was excited to see an author speak, it was devastating. I should have guessed when the location was a church, but I was ill prepared with certain expectations. I should have realized she would have spent the entire session talking about Jesus. I didn't pay to see a woman talk about Jesus. His name was mentioned so many times, I was sweating. Where was the discussion about WRITING? Or even Spirituality? Instead it was religion, religion, religion.
Not that I was expecting anything of that sort on this night, but hey, you never, ever know. And Chuck Palahniuk was supposed to be there.
We arrived an hour before, and stood in line. Chuck Palahniuk handed out beach balls and glow sticks. "Make sure they are firm," he said. "They work better that way." Many things do I suppose. Once inflated, two glow sticks get inserted into the ball.
I picked up my signed copy of The Moment Before by Suzy Vitello, flashed my lace nightie at Chelsea Cain who handed me a box of chocolates before I took my seat. Whatever it takes.
The place was packed. People were still blowing up beach balls. And then it started.
Suzy's writing group each read while in their PJs (also not fleece, FYI): Chelsea Cain, Lydia Yuknavitch, Monica Drake , Suzy Vitello and Chuck Palahniuk.
I wish you could have been there. It was, hands down, the most awesome author event I've been to. Not that I haven't seen awesome authors, it was just so fun, inspiring, deliciously eclectic. I haven't heard so many F-Bombs dropped since living in Brooklyn. It was so creative and alive, and so welcome from a Brooklynite now living in Seattle. Everyone on stage was in their PJs, and everyone had something sparkly on.
And, the work, well, I added each to my list of authors to read. Except for Chuck, he's been on the list since 1996.
And then I finished The Moment Before today. I started it yesterday, and I couldn't get anything done today until I finished it. I was in the tub, and the water had to get cold before I could get out, and I still wasn't finished. My kiddo wanted lunch, but I told her to make her own sandwich, I had a book to finish.
Brady and Sabine are sisters and Sabine died in a cheerleading accident. Life is not what it seems, and as a teenager, that can be a harsh reality, especially for Brady, who was not a cheerleader, or popular, and now has to deal with the death of her popular sister, her sister's friends, and her parents, and ugh, highschool. (But she had some awesome teachers.) I guess when people aren't around to protect their secrets, discovering them or realizing what they are can be sad and upsetting, even devastating.
It's times like these, when you are at the age that you turn into an adult, and the secrets those older than you have been keeping, become part of your reality, throwing you into the lake to learn how to float, to swim.
I love Brady, I love her green hair, her art, her ability to know that she should skip school and just be. I love her voice, her relationship with Sabine and her grandparents. I love her honesty. I love Sabine too, and I felt for them both. I felt as though these characters had a lot of depth, unfolding with each chapter and truth.
I know the characters on these pages, I went to high school, college, I have even worked with them. Struggling with death and fitting in, isn't prone to just high school, it just seems that's where most of us encounter it first. And it can go so many ways. Like the Dad who can't deal and strikes out. The mom who steps in to control everything that's out of control. The friend who has more than you who wants you to be happy, with her. The other friend who helps you discover the truth, and brings you donuts.
It's been 4 hours since I finished the book, I'm still carrying it around with me, looking up passages that haven't left me yet. I'll recommend this book, but it will be a while before I can lend out my copy.
Thanks Suzy Vitello, I want to read more.

No Stephen Jackson, no Brandan Wright: What do the Warriors do now at power forward?Filed under: News; Tagged as: Andris Biedrins, Anthony Randolph, Brandan Wright, Corey Maggette, Don Nelson, Jermareo Davidson, Joe Strummer, LaMarcus Aldridge, Marco Belinelli, Ronny Turiaf, Stephen Jackson
By Geoff Lepper
With Brandan Wright set to miss a minimum of three weeks because of a posterior dislocation of his left shoulder, the Warriors might want to think about adopting the Clash's "Clampdown" as their new theme song.
After all, Joe Strummer hits it on the head with his opening line:
What are we gonna do now?
There aren't a bevy of options for Warriors coach Don Nelson to select from, and the ones he does have hold little appeal, as a group. Since I had all the lineup data already in the computer, I thought I'd sort through and do a +/- breakdown for the Warriors based solely on who's filling the 4 spot defensively:
Obviously, any regular reader already knows that I think playing Corey Maggette at power forward is as sure a way to lose as there is in the NBA, but I didn't expect to find the small ball lineup was nearly 17 points per 48 minutes better with Stephen Jackson there instead of the former Clipper.
That's why the double-whammy of not having Wright and Jackson (who's expected to miss at least at least the next five games with his strained right hamstring) at the same time hurts the Warriors in exponential fashion.
Discounting Marco Belinelli, whose time at the 4 came almost entirely at the end of various fourth quarters when the team was putting out its best foul shooters, the next-best option, statistically speaking, is Ronny Turiaf.
But Nelson doesn't want to burn Turiaf's minutes at the 4 when he has no other backup for Andris Biedrins, who is always just a couple cheap calls away from foul-induced time on the bench.
Nelson also said Friday that he has more basic concerns with Turiaf as a power forward:
"I'm not saying I won't (play Turiaf at power forward). That's been successful at times, on a limited basis, and unsuccessful at times because (Turiaf) just is not a scorer. I think when we overdo that and think that he can be the power forward alongside (Biedrins) for long periods of times, it kind of backfires. Short periods of time, it's been very successful."
Now, I don't want to cause Nelson to make another post-game "just let me coach my team" proclamation, but this assessment is frankly myopic.
Sure, there have been some individual instances where the Turiaf-Biedrins tandem has struggled. But in the games where they've played the longest amount together, they've thrived:
The biggest reason for this pattern is fairly obvious: The longer any pair plays well together, the longer they stay on the court. Since Nelson is already predisposed against playing Turiaf at the 4, if Turiaf and Biedrins play poorly together, at least one will get yanked in a hurry.
The second-best alternative would be Anthony Randolph, but he has problems of his own; as a result of the shutdown due to the coaching staff's perspective that he doesn't work hard enough in practice, Randolph has fallen behind the conditioning he needs to play significant minutes without tiring.
"Oh yeah, I'm not in any type of game shape right now," Randolph said. "I've been working out and stuff, but working out and running doesn't really quite prepare you for a game."
Given the success Maggette had at throwing LaMarcus Aldridge off his game in the Warriors' 111-106 win over Portland on Nov. 18, I believe Nelson will go small this evening, assuming Maggette makes it back in time.
As for the several games after that, we'll just have to see. For his part, Turiaf is trying to play up the positives of guys getting experience that otherwise might not have played.
"I think in the long run, it's going to be one of the seasons where you look back and say, 'Hey, man, that really helped us in the long haul,'" Turiaf said. "Unfortunately, it's tough to go through it. I'm not going to lie to you: It's all positive to say, 'In the long run it's going to help,' but it's tough on a daily basis.
"You want to fast forward, but unfortunately, you can't. So you have to go and deal with the growing pains."
Say what?
There was an amusing aside during the power forward discussion Friday. A reporter asked Nelson if it had been "prophetic" to sign second-year forward Jermareo Davidson just in advance of Wright's injury.
Replied Nelson: "Did you say, 'pathetic?'"
The Lineup Project
There's every chance that the game would have gone the Lakers' way in any case, given the talent disparity between the two teams. But Golden State's fate was sealed by a 19-4 run over a span of 4 1/2 minutes in the fourth quarter. The first seven points came about against a Medium lineup with a clearly gassed Randolph at the 4.
But instead of bringing in a rested Biedrins to replace Randolph and slide Turiaf to the 4, Nelson brought in Biedrins and Maggette as a 4/5 Small combo – despite the fact that Maggette was minus-11 to that point as a power forward and plus-3 defending small forwards.
Los Angeles, predictably, embarked on a 12-4 run to widen its lead to 102-91 with 3:54 left. Game over.

I think that if Anthony Randolph gets sufficient floor time at the 4, he'll show that's the place for him and do well overall. Yes he'll get hammered a bit underneath, but you'll always see him scrapping for the ball, even diving on the floor. He's wild in general, and that carries over to defense, which isn't really ALL bad. Anthony is much tougher than Brandan and he'll have a chance now to show that. Sure he'll make mistakes on both ends of the floor but it's worth the investment in him to see how he looks. He mixes it up underneath by nature. We need that.

If you haven't been to Rosso yet, it should definitely be on your short list of restaurants. I liked the food at Rosso because I didn't lay awake all night long with a stomach ache as I have after having over-indulged while dining at Friendly's. The sauces are lighter and generally do a better job of featuring the flavors of the main ingredients.
Although there have been reports that Rosso is somehow affilliated with the group that owns Mr. Friendly's, Solstice, and Cellar on Greene, I have been assured that there is no connection.
The decor of the restaurant is inviting, while not the usual Trattoria atmosphere that one might expect, it was eclectic, opulent and maybe even a little posh. We started off with prosciutto wrapped asparagus. Each bundle of asparagus was wrapped in hunks of cured ham. It was a bit bulky, hard to eat, and typical. The taste was fine but that's about the extent of it. Next, I had a sea bass special with creamy polenta. This was tasty. The fish was fresh, cooked perfectly and seasoned in a way not to overpower the delicate fish but to compliment it.
Our waitress lacked knowledge to say the least. She talked too much and said too little. She knew little about the largely Italian wine list and admitted to it. But the food was good and I'll give the service the benefit of the doubt until it happens twice.
Oh yeah, and price is right. Very fair in terms of wine and food.

About Skin Organics
Ann's passion for developing optimal skin care began at an early age. Her own struggles with cystic acne were the driving force behind her passion for deriving a solution to heal and develop beautiful skin. Ann traveled far beyond her small town of Gueydan, Louisiana to research and educate herself about every type of skin treatment available. She discovered that most treatments were limited to a topical medication and antibiotic treatment.
During Ann's search she found that most dermatological treatment protocols were the same until she met Dr. Brent Schillinger. She was fascinated by his hands-on, specialized acne protocols that finally brought about a positive change in her skin. This fateful meeting began her journey into the world of esthetics. Ann went on to work for the PGA Spa, The Florida Center of Cosmetic Surgery, and serve as Cosmetic Director for the Austin Plastic Surgery Center while maintaining an esthetics studio in her home.
In 2006, Ann turned to her best friend, Joanna Marceaux, who had worked for more than 8 years as a business development specialist. She immediately took over the growth of the company, and co-founded what would become Skin Organics. As life-long friends, they have now established a successful business partnership and have grown Skin Organics together!
Skin Organics originated from Ann's very own garage and through a word-of-mouth frenzy it made itself into 1500 retailers and spa locations across the USA. In the summer of 2011, Skin Organics merged with Nutraceuticals Corp. and the line was renamed "Skin by Ann Webb." Ann continues to direct the line nationwide.
Ann's true passion still lies in her own treatment spas located in Austin, Dallas, and Los Angeles, where she has harnessed more than 15 years worth of research and hands on training with her own protocols for treating skin.

expose on one of the most bizarre and destructive cults today
"Stewardship of the Earth"
By Craig Branch
November - December 2006
One of the most
important and therefore relevant questions we should ask
ourselves every day is: "Why
am I saved—for what purpose?" The Larger Catechism
of the Westminster Confession of Faith begins, "What
is the chief and highest end of man?" The response
is: "Man's chief and highest end [purpose] is
to glorify God, and fully to enjoy Him forever." The
Apostle Peter also answers the question, "You are a
chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies
of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous
light" (1 Peter 2:9). Jesus answers the question too
when he was asked, "Which commandment is the most important
of all?" He answered, "The most important is, 'Hear
O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One. And you shall
love the Lord with all your heart, and with all your soul
and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The
second is this: 'You should love your neighbor as yourself.' There
is no commandment greater than these" (Mark 12:28b-31).
Many Christians have memorized
these answers. But the problem is that these answers too
often become just clichés,
repeated without deep understanding. What does it mean to "glorify
God," or "to proclaim His excellencies" or
even to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength?
Another primary command in the context of purposeful daily
living is to "seek first [keep on seeking] His Kingdom
and His righteousness…" (Matt. 6:33). But what
does "His kingdom and His righteousness" mean?
For most professing Christians,
these callings and these responsibilities mean one of two
things. Some think it means
just trying to be "good." For most Christians,
the concept of seeking first His Kingdom and righteousness,
glorifying God, has to do with personal holiness or piety-sanctification.
While it is true that personal holiness is a very significant
dimension of the Christian life, there is more to our calling
as Christians than that. When we repeat the Lord's
Prayer, for example, and say, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven," we are praying
for more than personal piety.
Jesus specifically tells us that a significant way we glorify
God and pursue His kingdom reign is to go out and be salt
and light in the world, in the culture (Matt. 5:13-16). Like
Him we are to be intentionally, sacrificially involved in
the world, while not being corrupted by the world (John 17:13-19).
Integral parts of that calling are (1) to be armed with the
truth so as to not be conformed to or deceived by fallen
human traditions or philosophies (Eph. 6:10-18; 4:17-24;
Rom. 12:1-2; John 17:17); (2) to live sacrificially by responsibly
reaching out with compassion and justice to restore our downtrodden
neighbors (Acts 2:44-45; 4:34-35; Matt. 25:34-45; Luke 10:25-37);
and (3) to fulfill the Cultural Mandate which involves the
stewardship of the earth--its environment and cultural institutions
(Gen. 1:28; 2:17; Eph. 1:18-23; 2 Cor. 10:3-5).
The Church in general tends to
be weak in all of these dimensions of kingdom living, but
the last, the cultural mandate, is
undeniably our weakest. Most Christians are uninformed about
the cultural mandate and thus are not engaged in the culture.
Apologetics in general, and the Apologetics Resource Center
in particular, are "dedicated to equipping Christians
with a culturally relevant apologetic, enabling them to have
a deeper level or personal faith, contend for that faith,
and to enter arenas of resistance and to reclaim ground lost
to skepticism, secularism, and other alien philosophies." Engagements
in these areas are supposed to be a high priority—ordinary,
not extraordinary. Our kingdom calling involves developing
a biblical worldview and living it out in daily life in a
fallen world. In this Veritas column, I want to explore the
idea of developing a Christian worldview and apply it to
an area of the Cultural Mandate.
A Christian worldview encompasses the foundational
ideas for thinking "Christianly" about reality
and life. It is the necessary starting place for informed
discipleship. The Christian worldview is holistic. God
created the world and all beings. Christ offers redemption
and in
fact rules over all things, giving much of the exercise
of that rule and redemption in the present age to the Church
(Eph 1:18-23). This means that the Church is called to
redemptively engaged, speaking and being the truth in all
spheres of life—education, science, ethics, economics,
law, civil government, medicine, the judicial system, social
work, business, maintenance and repair, research, environmental
issues, sports and recreation, public service, etc. The
key words are "redemptively engaged." But sadly,
the church, by and large, has not grasped this truth.
Christian pollster George Barna
has identified this problem in his research. Whereas 40%
of Americans are identified
as "born-again" Christians (minimal criteria),
only 8% are identified as "evangelicals" (only
4% of teenagers). Yet only 22% of adults and 6% of teenagers
are certain that absolute moral truth exists.
Particularly significant
is his recent research which demonstrated that Americans
themselves as Christian rated
themselves mainly "average to above average" in
seven dimensions of spiritual life (such as healthy relationships,
worship, serving others, leading their family spiritually).
Only two categories were self-rated as "average to
below average." They were "sharing your faith" (77%)
and "knowledge of the Bible" (79%). Barna notes
that in his other research where actual practices were measured,
the results were actually far lower than people's self-perception.
This lack of Bible knowledge
was even more accentuated in Barna's research the
month before where he concluded, "In
spite of the fact that most Americans consider themselves
Christians, very few adults base their moral decisions on
the Bible." Strangely, 30% claim the Bible as a source
of making moral decisions but only 16% of adults claim to
make their moral choices based on the content of the Bible.
Based on the answers to a series of questions on core values,
practice, and theological knowledge only 5% of adults have
a Biblical worldview. He concludes that most "churches
base their sense of success on indicators such as attendance,
congregant satisfaction, dollars raised, and built on square
footage. None of those factors relates to the kind of radical
shift in thinking and behaviors Jesus Christ died on the
cross to facilitate." (2)
is why our ministry's Areopagus Journal focuses
on topics related to the building of a Christian worldview.
We want to remind Christians of the importance of having
a Christian worldview and learning to think Christianly about
issues such as abortion, euthanasia, genetic engineering,
same-sex marriage, war, the arts, science, and alternative
medicine. In this issue of the Areopagus Journal, we want
to draw the reader's attention to one of the more obscure
issues: Christians and the Environment. This topic has become
somewhat less obscure and more relevant recently because
of the controversy over "global warming." This
controversial issue provides us all an opportunity to reflect
not only on global warming, but also on environmental issues
more generally. To have a Christian worldview and a Christian
perspective on any topic, Christians must be thinkers. We
must seriously ponder tough questions like those concerning
the environment. And, once adequately informed, we are called
to act on the truths we learn in faith and reliance on the
power of the Holy Spirit to effect positive change in the
culture where needed. A Christian worldview is not just a
list of beliefs, nor an academic endeavor, but a personal
living view, affecting the way we choose to live.
how should we approach environmental issues? How do we
even begin to evaluate
and remedy problems if necessary?
We've had national debates over asbestos use in
buildings, over the possible dangers of tobacco, lead
paint, agent
orange, and deforestation. There have been campaigns
on recycling,
animal rights, air pollution, and much more.
The University of Connecticut
released a study in April, 2006 which revealed that 53%
of Americans (mostly Republicans)
believe that modern drilling techniques allow the development
of resources without damaging the environment, "compared
to 43% of Americans (mostly Democrats) [who] believe that
oil and gas exploration and drilling cause permanent environmental
damage." (3) The same survey showed "that Americans
believe environmentalist arguments on the issues of global
warming [66% to 31%] and plant and animal extinction are
a loss of diversity and a threat to human needs [55% to 41%]."
Al Gore recently released
the film An Inconvenient Truth in which he allegedly pulled
together evidence from all over
the world to convince us that climate change is happening
quickly, and humans are to blame. He contends that we must
act immediately or the earth will be ruined. In an ABC interview
with George Stephanopoulos, Gore stated, "The debate
in the scientific community is over." Then came an
editorial response in the Wall Street Journal by Dr. Richard
Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science at MIT, titled, "Don't
Believe the Hype." In the article he argues that "Al
Gore is wrong. There is no 'consensus' on global
warming." (4)
So who is right? Is
this really a big issue? Well, many scientists and Christians
believe it is a big issue and that
Gore is right. For example, Harvard biologist Edward Wilson,
winner of the National Medal of Science and of two Pulitzer
Prize, writes to a hypothetical Baptist pastor,
estimate that, if habitat conversion and other destructive
human activities continue at their present rates,
half the species of the plants and animals on earth
could be either gone or at least fated for early extinction
the end of the century. The ongoing extinction rate
is calculated in most conservative estimates to be about
times above
that prevailing before humans appeared on earth, and
it is expected to rise to at least 1000 times greater
in the next few decades. If this rise continues unabated,
the cost to humanity in wealth, environmental security,
and quality of life will be catastrophic. . . .In destroying
the biosphere, we are destroying unimaginably vast
resources of scientific information and biological wealth.
costs, which will be better understood by our descendants
than ourselves, will be staggering. Gone forever will
be undiscovered medicines, crops, timber, fibers, soil-restoring
vegetation, petroleum substitutes and amenities. (5)

Christians are responding. One of the most powerful
and important
leaders is Saddleback Church pastor, Rick Warren.
He has become quite vested in a "holistic gospel" on
social issues such as AIDS, poverty and the environment.
Warren has established three social service organizations
and stopped taking his $110,000 annual salary, repaid the
church for his 25 years of salary since its founding, and
lives on 10% of his book royalties, donating the other 90%
to selected charities. In February 2006, Rick Warren and
96 other prominent evangelical leaders signed the Evangelical
Climate Initiative (ECI) calling for biblical stewardship
and national legislation requiring sufficient economy-wide
reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.
In response, a coalition
of more than 110 evangelical leaders and scientists formed
Interfaith Stewardship Alliance
(ISA) and disputed the ECI's claims of significant
human-induced global warming. The ISA document appreciated
ECI's concern for the poor, shared the same biblical worldview
and ethical commitments, but disagreed with ECI's view of
causation, effect, and remedy. (6)
So where do we begin to seek
first His kingdom, to glorify God, to have His kingdom
come on earth, to exercise our responsibility
to subdue a fallen creation and care for it redemptively?
It starts with a biblical view of the creation and our responsibility
to it. The first article in this journal, "Subdue the
Earth? What the Bible says about the Environment," is
written by John Bergstrom, professor of Public Policy at
the University of Georgia. The article lays the foundation
for the Bible's "Cultural Mandate." Specifically,
he discusses three general principles of a Christian environmental
ethic. Bergstrom writes, "Christians are in a unique
position to offer thoughtful solutions to the environmental
and natural resource problems we face in the world today."
This article is followed by a
point-counterpoint exchange between Dr. Paul Cleveland,
Professor of Economics at Birmingham-Southern
College, and Dr. David Gushee, Graves professor of Moral
Philosophy at Union University, on the topic of global warming.
Gushee explains why Christians ought to be concerned about
global climate change and get involved in efforts to reduce
greenhouse gases in the environment. Cleveland argues that
the concerns over global warming are greatly exaggerated,
that it isn't clear that global warming is even happening,
much less that it is caused by humans.
It may help to set the
framework for this exchange to mention that the main reason
for disagreement on global warming is
probably the reliance on science both for factual and ethical
conclusions. This problem is pointed out by Dr. Daniel Sarewitz,
member of the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes
at Arizona State University. He writes that controversies
like global climate change, genetically modified foods, nuclear
energy, biodiversity, air and water pollution, and toxic
wastes, rarely come to satisfying resolutions - largely because
the scientific enterprise exacerbates disagreement rather
that resolving it. (7) The central point is that numerous,
sometimes competitive, scientific disciplines seek to understand
complexity of nature and sometimes give factual, but incomplete,
views of reality.
Using climate change as an illustration, it can be variously
understood as a problem of climate impact, biodiversity,
land use, energy use, water use, agricultural productivity,
public health, economic development, demographics, etc. Each
scientific discipline involves a variety of interests and
values which effect how they assemble and interpret an insurmountable
amount of information. So ideologies and values affect choices
and lots of data can be amassed to support a number of positions.
These facts make it hard to discern the truth on matters
like global warming and call us to sift the evidence carefully.
The third article in this issue
is a provocative piece titled "Animal
Rights and Apologetics" by Rich Milne, formerly of
Probe Ministries. I say "provocative" because
the reader probably anticipates the normal Christian response
to an extreme, new age, vegetarian, PETA-type position which
elevates the rights of animals to the same level as humans
(or even higher). But Milne addresses the moral and ethical
questions of unnecessary abuse in the killing and torture
of animals by those who are processing them for food. Milne
affirms that eating meat and animal products is clearly allowed
in scripture, but writes, "It is the way the animals
that provide that meat live and die that belies our preaching
a kingdom where cruelty is to be reduced rather than intensified." We
encourage our readers to carefully ponder the questions Milne
it comes to difficult issues like the environment, the
Christian can rest in the fact that we have God's
revelation to give us a balanced perspective. We can
be sure that radical New Age environmentalism—the "deep
ecology of Gaia" that worships nature—is
a false framework. We do not worship nature or creation
than the Creator. But we also know that the created world
is marred by the curse because of humankind's disobedience
to our creator. We also know that we have been given
stewardship over creation to care for it so that it may
be used to
serve mankind to the glory of God.
So, even though we do not adopt
the radical environmental position of the New Age that
places nature above human needs,
we must also avoid being "conformed to this world" by
adopting the consumerism and materialism that lies at the
other end of the spectrum. The environment is to be used
as a resource to serve man, to be sure, however it doesn't
ultimately belong to us, but to God. And thus we have a God-given
responsibility to preserve and protect the environment not
only for the sake of future generations, but also because
of creation's own intrinsic value.
Revelation 21-22 makes it clear
that the ultimate purpose of redemption is not to escape
the material world, but to
renew it. God's purpose is not only saving individuals
(although that's crucial) but also inaugurating a new
world based on justice, peace, and love, not power, strife,
and selfishness. "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven."

It looks like Ben Roethlisberger has bought his way out of a sticky legal situation ... by settling a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims the Pittsburgh Steelers QB forced her to have sex with him in 2008.
Lawyers for Roethlisberger and his accuser -- Andrea McNulty -- announced the two sides have reached an agreement which ends the lawsuit.
McNulty -- who worked at the Harrah's Hotel in Lake Tahoe at the time of the alleged incident -- had claimed Ben invited her into his penthouse suite to fix a broken TV ... and then raped her.
In her suit, McNulty claimed Ben became "stern," after the alleged rape ... kicked her out of the room and told her, "If anyone asks you, you fixed my television. You fixed my television. Now go!"
Ben adamantly denied all the allegations.
McNulty's lawyer also confirms they have dropped their case against multiple Harrah's employees McNulty had accused of covering up the alleged sexual assault.
The terms of the settlement are confidential.
To fix a television? That should have been her first clue. Everyone knows that's a mans job.
He is a rapist. glad he lost....
The one girl he probably didn't rape he actually settles with. I wish for once a female star would get sued for having sex with somebody she uses for a one timer. That won't happen because men are smart enough to understand it's just sex and you're not moving in after I just boinked you an hour after meeting you. While I understand why he settled I wish he would have just dragged it into court so her past could be dragged out in public just like it was here. If he wound up settling with her in the end he should have just gave her the green mail money upfront and saved himself the embarrassment. Don't get me wrong, this guy is no more than a s***bag but I still hate people profiting off sleeping with some celebrity.
He became "stern" AFTER he raped her?
Was he a gentleman AS he raped her?
If it wasn't for the other girl he raped in a public bathroom, I wouldn't buy it.
I think you got his name wrong, it's Ben RothlisRAPER...
Big Ben could bang me around anytime, no problem.
Hurt me.
i can't believe anybody could root for the steelers. they don't cut james harrison after beating up his girlfriend or big ben for two counts of sexual assault. and how could somebody marry this ugly pig?
As a Steelers fan from Pittsburgh I for believe he accosted. His ego go way beyond reason. I hold him personally responsible for our last Super Bowl loss and his ridiculous insistence to play in the playoffs this year. Wonder how long his bride will tolerate him?????
Why couldn't TMZ acquire the terms of the settlement? They seem to get all the paperwork and photos just minutes after any other lawsuits, DUI's, divorces, etc.
C'mon, TMZ. You're slacking.
BTW, what ever happened to the follow-up regarding Rick Springfield's two DUI's?
First off Huge football fan and I don't like the guy personally! People who are raped do not parade around town telling everyone they were raped!I don't believe he raped anyone personally, there were NO signs of force, no wounds to him, and one girl called him after in Reno to see him again, and the drunk as hell girl told her friends what she was about to do! It's all do***ented and yet he's a NFL star so he's an easy target! People will say he's a rapist because they are fans of another football team. This is plain sad what America has come to, and as a father of 4 girls if one of my daughters pulled this I would dis-own them. Now if he DID rape them thats another story and with DNA and all the other evidence that was never found and all the story's both these girls told to their friends I actually feel bad for him. How would you like to be called a rapist in front of the world. That sticks with you for the rest of your life and you were NEVER found guilty! If someone does rape a girl trust me I'm the first one to say hang him!!! Just sad and not just his story's but many others, and not normal people but all celebs and people with money!!!
He's such a S.O.B.!
If someone is RAPED there is DNA. These women are lying. Fix a television,oh please that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. As a Critical Care/ER nurse I have unfortunately cared for rape victims. Trust me there is always DNA and raped women would NEVER SETTLE unless they are lying. He wants this gone and unfortunately he paid the liar. That is the price of celebrity. TMZ you guys are dirt bags for bringing this up again.
@Rich I wish I knew you and your so called being a Steeler fan. All of you morons must KNOW that in this day DNA will be found. There were no defensive wounds, NO EVIDENCE OR HE WOULD OF BEEN ARRESTED. I am a nurse SICU/ER and know how the system works. You disgust me.
Unbelievable that the NFL lets degenerates like Rapistberger and felon dog slaughterer Michael Vick in the league, makes me sick.
after every thing i read all the way thru this case - i believe w/ this girl he was innocent, yet she still gets a pay day and made it that much harder for real victims

Using Linux as a desktop computer
Well for the non-techies as in those people who have never seen and touched a computer yet, if you let them use Linux for the first time, then I believe they will have no trouble adjusting since it is "Linux" that they first woke up to in the computer world.
I think it is more hard for those who "woke" up using windows to shift to Linux. I believe that for this people the most appropriate solution is to create a Linux desktop distro that works exactly just like windows.
One more thing, I am very much pro-open source, in fact I use Linux on my laptop and open office in all our office desktops. But the fact of the matter is that its very hard to install programs on Linux. For people migrating from windows, installing program in Linux should be made more like that of windows.
By the way I've not tried any of the distros you mentioned by I think Linspire and Xandros is quite close to "windows" but I believe they still need to work more on it.

Would you hire this man as your pastor?
*Arrested many times.
*In and out of prison.
*Often run out of town.
*Never built a building.
*Never spoke on television.
*Never had a website.
*Never had a Facebook page.
*Never owned his own home.
*Had to work on the side to support himself.
*Never stayed very long in one place.
*Not a skilled public speaker.
*Unimpressive appearance.
*Sometimes preaches for hours at a time.
*Seems to get involved in public controversies.
Most churches would take a pass on a man like that. After all, you can't trust your pulpit to just anyone who comes along. And that's why the Apostle Paul would not feel at home in many of our churches today.
Every year I spend a good part of my time talking with pastors. I love pastors and I love spending time with them. Sometimes I'll ask, "How is it going?" and then sit back and wait for the answer. Just as I typed that sentence, I shrugged my shoulders, as if to say, "It depends." It depends on who is asking and when and where and why. And it depends on what day you ask.
Success in the ministry is notoriously hard to define. Even if we have met all our goals, have we truly been successful in the eyes of the Lord?
That's the question Paul faced in 2 Corinthians. He had to justify himself because a group of critics had virtually taken over the church, filling the people's minds with base accusations against Paul's character and his conduct. "You can't trust him. Look how fickle he is. He says he's coming for a visit, then he doesn't show up. How do you know he's not a fake?"
Part of Paul's answer comes in 2 Corinthians 3:1-3 where he declares that the real measure of his ministry is the lives changed by the Holy Spirit. That constitutes true success in the eyes of the Lord.
It's not about programs or buildings.
It's not about budgets or titles.|
It's not about a big reputation.

Saturday's winter weather proved difficult for drivers.
Stella Barnett was driving down Laskey near Jackman around 10:30 Saturday morning when she says someone pulled out in front of her. Slick roads made it difficult to stop.
"My car started spinning and I tried to avoid it. The car got out of control and I flipped over." Barnett said.
Coincidentally, she had just come from a visit with her auto insurance company. She escaped injury.
"I was hoping that I got out safe. People pulled me out. My son helped me get out of the car." She said.
Across town, those involved in an accident on Angola Road near Wenz were not as lucky.
Dwandee Doss heard the crash. "I was in the kitchen eating breakfast. Then I heard a big bang. Sounded like it was in back on my house."
Police say the driver lost control and crashed into a mailbox, then a fire hydrant and came to a stop inches from a porch.
Rob Stuart says his house had a close call. "My wife ran out, thought something hit our house. Thankfully, it was just a mailbox and everybody's okay. So it worked out. But it sounded like someone was shooting a shotgun off, it was so loud."
TPD says the two women inside of the car were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Landslides occur naturally, but many human activities can make an area especially prone to landslides. When we clear vegetation from natural land or cut down trees on mountains or hillsides, we make these areas much more susceptible to landslides. Much of the world's loose sediment is held in place by the root structures of plants. If there is an excessive amount of rain, the loose soil of a deforested area will have nothing to secure it to the bedrock underneath - - this is a recipe for a landslide. People can help prevent landslides by providing good drainage on natural slopes - - this prevents the buildup of excessive water, which is one of the most common causes of loosening sediment. Some managers of landslide-prone slopes install barriers as preventive measures. Replanting a deforested tract of land with trees is a good way to avoid future landslides.

Several people stand to profit off the game, no matter the winner.
Just steps from the Sun Bowl, fighting Irish and hurricane fans packed Mesa Street Bar and Grill.
"It's crazy, it's a lot of work because everyone's coming in and out for drinks," said hostess Alexis Sanchez.
"I live in the mountains, I have no running water, but I came down to see the game," said a Van Horn man who goes by Chili Chuck. He noticed this year was different, and he says it's a good sign of the economic times.
"I normally have a spot for my motor home but they wouldn't let me park there this year."
"Right now we're expecting about 10 to 12,000 people at this tailgate," said Jonathan Shoman. He is the PR manager for this area, dubbed the Robinson Entertainment District. He's trying to market it a little differently to draw in crowds.
"It's a different venue for people that want a little bit different nightlife experience from downtown or Cincinnati, little more upscale here," he said.
And although the fans have a common appetite, they do have unique tastes.
"I'm not a Miami fan because they're convicts, and I'm a Catholic," said Dan Oholleran, from Melbourne, Florida.
"Miami hurricanes because I like tornadoes, I like devastation, and I'm a catholic, but I'm not that good of a catholic," said Chili Chuck.
And they say El Paso's been quite the host.
"We ran into a couple of people last night that took it upon themselves to give a tour of the entire city," Oholleran said.
While the snow didn't bother most fans, some still decided to enjoy the game from inside.
"It's why I left New York to move to Florida," Oholleran said.
"I didn't think I would have to bring my thermal underwear to the Sunbowl," said Anna Martinez, from Albuquerque.
But the hustle and bustle can't be all that bad.
"We're completely booked, we can't accept any walk-ins or any reservations," Sanchez said.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A recent case involving two caregivers allegedly caught on camera abusing a man with severe autism has many wondering how to make sure the person you're hiring is safe.
Officials with San Diego County's Adult Protective Services say they get about 1,000 calls every month regarding elder and dependent adult abuse cases.
They say the key is to prevent abuse before it starts.
