NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A Yale student says the school has dropped its months-long demand that she gain weight or leave the university.History major Frances Chan, 22, told the New Haven Register that her new Yale physician told her on Friday that university officials made a mistake and no longer believe she has an eating disorder. She had been stuffing her face with ice cream and other snacks to try to gain weight.
Chan is 5-feet-2-inches tall and 92 pounds. She says she's always been very thin but healthy.
She says Yale Health officials had placed too much emphasis on body-mass index as a health indicator, but her new doctor acknowledged that BMI isn't the only significant factor.
Yale spokesman Tom Conroy says the university cannot comment because of medical privacy regulations.

MERRILLVILLE | A business owner whose firm provides real-time captioning, translation and court reporting services has been named director of a new certificate program offered at MacCormac College in downtown Chicago.
Kathy Cortopassi, president of Voice to Print Captioning LLC, will direct the certificate program in Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) providing and Closed Captioning. Classes will begin in the spring 2013 semester.
Cortopassi, a 1984 alumna of MacCormac College, said students in the program could use their skills in a variety of settings.
"CART providers work with the deaf and hard of hearing in many different settings, including corporate, educational, legal and medical. They often work in education settings such as a university or high school, assisting a person with hearing loss to progress through school," she said.
Cortopassi said students must meet several prerequisites before enrolling in the program.
Cortopassi, whose company is a tenant in the Purdue Research Park of Northwest Indiana, said her goal in directing the CART providing and Closed Captioning program at MacCormac College is to prepare students for the workplace.
The new certificate program at MacCormac College is funded by a $295,850 grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Editorials: President Obama, Seize the Moment on immigration reform!
April 14, 2009 - Posted by Katherine Vargas

In case you missed it, newspapers from across the country featured sensible and insightful editorials and opinion pieces about last week's New York Times' report that the White House continues to send signals that President Barack Obama intends to follow through on his campaign promise to address immigration reform in his first year in office.
We call your attention to an editorial from the Register Guard, a newspaper in Eugene, Oregon examining the challenges that President Obama faces for pursuing his promise to tackle immigration reform this year but that he is nonetheless bound by the urgent and moral imperative to reform our immigration system.
The president understands the resistance he will face. He was in the Senate in 2007 when a major reform bill collapsed, and he watched efforts to revive even its most benign provisions, such as a program to legalize high-achieving high school graduates, fall prey to partisan rancor…
But the president is right to proceed in a thoughtful, methodical manner with a plan that administration officials emphasize would not add new workers to the American work force. Instead, it would recognize the millions of illegal immigrants who are already working in the United States but are living in the shadows — subject to immigration raids, workplace exploitation and mistreatment in detention…
Obama understands that immigration reform can't be built upon a one-sided strategy that pursues and punishes illegal immigrants, and divides and destroys families. It's comprehensive, constructive reform that reaffirms this country's values and achieves real results.
—Tackling immigration, April 10, 2009
Albor Ruiz, a columnist for the New York Daily News, describes how opponents of immigration reform are so out of touch with reality and the American public who, at the end of the day, want real and feasible solutions:
They said that President Obama would not touch the contentious immigration crisis this year with a 10-foot pole.
But they, the rabid anti-immigrant crowd, were wrong - again…
For those who consider anything short of deporting 12 million immigrants unacceptable, the President's commitment to reform that provides a road towards legalization is anathema. But as it has been shown time and time again, that's not the case for the majority of the American people who voted last November for change and sent packing many extremist anti-immigration candidates.
The truth is that the American people - from workers to business owners, from communities of faith to union activists - understand that a fair and compassionate immigration reform law is critical for the nation's economic recovery and even more so for the healing of its soul.
Fortunately, so does the Obama administration.
—A President making good on his promise, April 13, 2009
The Arizona Republic offers a few ideas as to how President Obama should frame a much-needed overhaul of our immigration system:
He [President Obama] should start with this idea: Immigration reform is in the best interests of America.
That has to become - and remain - the main focus. It has to be so clearly articulated that the debate cannot be hijacked by those whose opposition crushed earlier efforts. Reform that addresses the multiple challenges of chaos on the border, the current illegal population, future labor needs and worksite enforcement will result in more security for the nation and more stability in its workforce.
It will reaffirm our national respect for law and order while demonstrating this nation's enduring commitment to human rights and human dignity.
The president should seize this moment: The time is right for reform. Some suggest that the anger and fear spawned by the recession make immigration reform too toxic now. But the deadly status quo is the real danger.
—Obama should give Arizona the hard sell on immigration, April 12, 2009
Opinion leaders agree; there will always be excuses for why we cannot reform immigration or how we cannot reform it now, but the truth is that the current system does not respond to the realities of our country. It does not address our economic, labor, or security needs. We need pro-immigrant advocates to make their voices heard and for leadership in Congress to roll up our sleeves, and give America the kind of comprehensive immigration reform that's long overdue.

New York's Shield Law Notches a Victory

Trial Begins for $240k Bank Robbery in 1993
By Albert Samaha
Washington The collective ear of the capital-in-the-throes-of- summer-doldrums has been hopelessly cocked toward New York. Insipid New York, anyway: between the kinder, gentler riffs of the retooled Rudy, Hillary's continuous "clarifications," and the bilious buzz coursing out of Tina Brown's new west 57th street HQ, the Empire State sounds more like The Jerry Springer Showthan the nation's bellwether. Drowned out in the deluge: a celebration of current federal orthodoxy in the form of a death blow to a uniquely New York privacy measure, thanks to a ruling last month by the Court of Appeals in Albany.
"What happened on July 6 shows a disturbing judicial inclination, or rather disinclination, to exercise supervisory control over the conduct of electronic surveillance," says James Dempsey, senior staff counsel at the Center for Democracy and Technology. "New York was singular in the explicitness of this particular protection. The bottom line here is that law enforcement finally convinced the court that this was a bad idea."
At its outset, few would have expected People v. Martello to presage such a nuanced change in New York electronic-surveillance law. In 1993, Paul Martello and nine other officials of Plumbers Union, Local 2 first AFL-CIO president George Meany's old local were indicted on racketeering charges. The investigation was conducted during 1991 and 1992 and included the use of pen registers devices used to identify and record phone numbers dialed from a line. (Pen registers are supposed to be used solely for logging phone numbers, but some can easily be converted into eavesdropping devices.) Despite the facility with which some pen registers can be converted, they aren't considered eavesdropping devices under federal and most state laws; hence police are not required to get a warrant based on "probable cause." Instead, relevance to an investigation or a standard of "reasonable suspicion" is generally mandated to obtain a court order which, because of the lower standard, courts are virtually obliged to grant.
Until last month, however, "reasonable suspicion" wasn't good enough in New York. The state Court of Appeals, in its landmark 1993 ruling, Peoplev. Bialostok (the case involved the use of pen registers in a bookmaking investigation), held that because the potential for pen register abuse was high, law enforcement officials had to meet the probable-cause standard and obtain warrants to use them. "The court showed special respect for privacy in recognizing the danger inherent in the use of convertible devices," says Dempsey. "It held to the principle that it wouldn't rely on the essentially unreviewable good faith of law enforcement agents not to listen in when they have the means but not the authority." Martello's lawyers argued that even though pen registerbased evidence gathered against him was obtained before Bialostok, it was relevant to his case.
While the judge in Martello found that Bialostok couldn't be applied retroactively, other lower-court judges have ruled differently; by the time Martello reached the Court of Appeals, the appellate jurists had some reconciling to do. Rather than simply determine that Bialostok did not apply, the court went further, holding that a 1988 New York criminal statute which requires only a court order, not a warrant, for pen registers ultimately governs pen register use. Intriguingly, both Bialostokand Martello are consistent with the Constitution; though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that the interception of phone numbers isn't a Fourth Amendment violation, Bialostokconsidered the potential for police abuse of pen registers to be a clear threat to the Constitution. However, Martello though based on New York, not constitutional, law echoes the Supreme Court's decision.
And since the Supremes gave pen registers a green light, cops and prosecutors have presented them as a sort of middle-path technology; as their partisans maintain, use of the devices is less intrusive than listening in on actual conversations, and they've been an almost indispensable tool in organized-crime investigations. But as technology develops, privacy advocates are making the case that the capture of phone digits really is on a par with eavesdropping on conversations.
"We have always believed that transactional data which links one person to another is as sensitive and as personal as the actual content of a communication," says David Sobel, general counsel for the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center. "There are many instances where the linkage between two people can appear more telling than actual conversations, because it only tells part of the story." That New York would strike down a higher protective standard in the midst of a five-year battle between the feds and privacy advocates, is, says Sobel, disappointing. In the waning hours of 1994's 104th Congress, the House and Senate passed and Bill Clinton signed into law the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), a statute that requires the communications industry to make its ever-evolving infrastructure as surveillance-friendly as possible.
While the industry was denounced for eventually supporting the bill (a $500 million taxpayer-funded reimbursement to subsidize technological compliance made it much more palatable), the telecom sector has been growing less cooperative, partially because of how the government wants to use surprise pen registers. The reason: the FBI's proposals for how the Federal Communications Commission should determine and implement CALEA's specifics. After the bill passed, the FBI submitted a regulatory wish list to the agency. Private enterprise and privacy advocates alike were taken aback. "Part of the FBI's CALEA list involves trying to expand pen registers to grab content," says David Banisar, a Washington electronic- privacy attorney. "Pen registers should only record the numbers I use to dial another person's phone. The FBI, however, is trying to extend CALEA so the registers can legally record any numbers you punch after you're connected anything from voice mail access numbers to credit card digits. That the courts have ruled anything beyond the actual phone number is content doesn't seem to bother them."

The new improvements and overhaul to player control and AI make it leap years ahead of its main competitor PES.
The new improvements and overhaul to player control and AI make it leap years ahead of its main competitor PES.
In my opinion, simply the best FIFA-game ever. Just look at the graphics, those detailed movements from every professional player on the pitch can do. According to their physical properties, some players have strength, some of them run fast. That's unique for every team. Or just choose the player (striker) with best finishing. The "gameplay" always depends on have good you are, if you loose a match, then you'll learn about more from the realistic content from the game.

Best game so far and I'm still playing it in 2014. It feels like you are playing in a real game of football - the A.I. is absolutely spot on and has sadly not been emulated in more recent games.
This installment really did set the path for the franchise's next few years. Graphics still look good to date and the gameplay is fluid and the controls effective.

Different gameplay than the normal FIFA but the online World Cup was the greatest thing FIFA has ever done besides Pro Clubs in my opinion, but pro clubs still needs a lot of work done so it can be better.
Just sold my FIFA 14 so I can devote more time to this game. Plays unlike any soccer game ever made. Fun and realistic. Play on fast speed and dynamic camera view. AWESOME!
This should be number ONE in my opinion.More comments about 2010 FIFA World Cup

Never seen a better soccer game than this. I don't even know why it is placed number 11 on the list.
14FIFA Soccer 2004
This game tried to make football realistic as opposed to making the players realistic and it made playing the matches more fun. The harder they try to make the players realistic the worse the gameplay is. Ever since fifa went online it became unrealistic since people can no longer pass the ball around with their defenders. A football game where you cannot pass the ball around with your defenders and codes set in to make each pass slower and slower until the opposition gets the ball is NOT realistic. In fact in real life the OTHER team would get fatigued not the team passing the ball. Fifa 2004 is the most recent game that is fun to play but there are some other gems before it too.
The first one I had and playing the iconic career mode was so addictive but is obviously boring now but this game seemed so much fun, actually had decent songs unlike now and just kicked ass.
This is the bomb. This is fantastic. This is amazing. This is unbelievable. This is brilliant. This is great. This is a game of brilliance. This game is phenomenal.More comments about FIFA Soccer 2004

Mouse Research Links Adolescent Stress and Severe Adult Mental Illness
Working with mice, Johns Hopkins researchers have established a link between elevated levels of a stress hormone in adolescence - a critical time for brain development - and genetic changes that, in young adulthood, cause severe mental illness in those predisposed to it.
The findings, reported in the journal Science, could have wide-reaching implications in both the prevention and treatment of schizophrenia, severe depression and other mental illnesses.
"We have discovered a mechanism for how environmental factors, such as stress hormones, can affect the brain's physiology and bring about mental illness," says study leader Akira Sawa, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "We've shown in mice that stress in adolescence can affect the expression of a gene that codes for a key neurotransmitter related to mental function and psychiatric illness. While many genes are believed to be involved in the development of mental illness, my gut feeling is environmental factors are critically important to the process."
Sawa, director of the Johns Hopkins Schizophrenia Center, and his team set out to simulate social isolation associated with the difficult years of adolescents in human teens. They found that isolating healthy mice from other mice for three weeks during the equivalent of rodent adolescence had no effect on their behavior. But, when mice known to have a genetic predisposition to characteristics of mental illness were similarly isolated, they exhibited behaviors associated with mental illness, such as hyperactivity. They also failed to swim when put in a pool, an indirect correlate of human depression. When the isolated mice with genetic risk factors for mental illness were returned to group housing with other mice, they continued to exhibit these abnormal behaviors, a finding that suggests the effects of isolation lasted into the equivalent of adulthood.
"Genetic risk factors in these experiments were necessary, but not sufficient, to cause behaviors associated with mental illness in mice," Sawa says. "Only the addition of the external stressor - in this case, excess cortisol related to social isolation - was enough to bring about dramatic behavior changes."
The investigators not only found that the "mentally ill" mice had elevated levels of cortisol, known as the stress hormone because it's secreted in higher levels during the body's fight-or-flight response. They also found that these mice had significantly lower levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine in a specific region of the brain involved in higher brain function, such as emotional control and cognition. Changes in dopamine in the brains of patients with schizophrenia, depression and mood disorders have been suggested in clinical studies, but the mechanism for the clinical impact remains elusive.

In this age of artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, this electrifying and moving story raises profound questions about what it means to be human.

We went to the Rainforest Cafe on Fisherman's Wharf and Camden loved it! ....except for the screaming gorillas!
This summer has gone by so fast for us! We can't believe it is time to move back to Utah. We are so excited to go home but will miss the beach, beautiful scenery and mall right across the street. We are ready to get out of the windy, cold weather and have a few weeks of summer before Jared starts school again!

This Harvard Medical School case study is available free to registered educators. To see the case, add it to your library.
This case examines effective public health management strategies by examining the turnaround of National Tuberculosis (TB) Control Program (NTP) in Peru during the 1990s under Director Dr. Pedro Suarez. The case presents background information on the NTP before 1990 and situates its underperformance within the political and economic context of Peru at this time. It describes how Suarez transformed the NTP from an essentially bankrupt program in August 1990 to a model program, using effective management techniques. It concludes with the program struggling to improve outcomes among a group of patients failing its standardized protocols.
learning objective:
To understand the operations of a national tuberculosis control program and to learn how effective management techniques can be employed in public health programs to improve performance with an emphasis on basic principles of quality improvement.

We are moving to Win 7 next summer, along with new hardware.
We are going to be using Sophos 9.5, along with AB tutor 6.7.1. I have had some issues with AB tutor, not removing policies properly, as well as small issues launching some things. Whilst this has been going on, Sophos has been quarantining (sp?) the ABclient.exe file as suspicious behaviour/buffer overflow and other items. I can only presume that Sophos has blocked the ABclient, prior to policiy removal, hence why it appears we cannot undo our policies properly!
Until then, can anyone who uses both Sophos, and AB provide me with any tips to give sufficient protection using Sophos Enterprise Console, whilst also allowing AB to work?

Truly happy are those who can help others become happy.<< Yesterday Today Tomorrow >>

Friendly Encounters with Wildlife
Most children in northern Kenya have only had negative experiences with wildlife – they see elephants chasing someone, the remains of a camel after a lion attack, or a leopard running off with their goat. They rarely have the opportunity to experience what so many visitors pay to see in Kenya's world famous parks and reserves.
Ewaso Lions strongly believes that these children are the future wildlife leaders. They are the future rangers, wardens, tour guides, and field officers.
Lion Kids Camp
Each year, we put on the Lion Kids Camp, a four-day camp for local children that combines wildlife education, game drives, art competitions, and fun. The participants have a life-changing wildlife experience. Our evaluation of the Lion Kids Camp found that children's views on wildlife significantly improved after the Camp.

Lion Kids Safaris
To date, we have taken more than 100 children on game drives in Samburu National Reserve. For most kids, this is the first time in their lives they have safely seen many of these animals. We lend them cameras so they can document their adventure, and we teach them about wildlife and conservation.

@ June 17, 2014 7:51 AM in CI Rad, intlet & outlet setup - Bushings, nipples, elbows and TRV'sMcMaster Carr has right/left nipples, I had buy a bunch when I picked up some old Corto rads from a house that had been built in 1917. Smallest length I could find was 4 inches. And nothing with 1 1/4 inch diameter, I'd have to make my own.I never found any bushings. All the rads in my house have the double connection on one end, just like the ones pictured.
Harvey, none of the ones I've had apart appear to have any diptube in it. You can touch your fingers together inside(I was curious too) The thing that all of the rads in my own house have in common, is that they all came from old gravity fed systems. Could that be the reason they don't have separation between the intake/output ports?

I've found chasing down noises highly subjective, my ears don't always hear what someone else hears.
Is it possible for them to turn the deck to a freestanding one?
Very comparable
@ April 20, 2014 5:03 PM in CPVC in hydronic heating system1000 L is 1 cubic meter and weighs 1000kg. 1 cubic centimetre is equal to 1 millilitre which also weighs 1 gram. Conversions and comparisons should be easier to do now.
brick work
@ April 7, 2014 6:50 PM in Mysterious infrared image caused by steam heating systemIcesailor is referring to the building envelope. If you insulate on the back side of the convector, the heat loss to the outside will be reduced, keeping more of it inside the living space.
His other observation is describing the construction of your brick walls. If you look closely at your pics, you'll notice that every 5th row consists of a half sized brick. In normal residential construction, that wall would be one brick wide and not likely weight bearing, so its called a veneer. He rightly points out that to do that brick pattern(running bond) in a veneer would require you to cut bricks in half to make the short brick row. Not a cheap or fast way to do it. To do the pattern quickly, the bricks are most likely placed length wise across a base of two bricks, making your wall 8 inches thick. If they did the construction that way, he rightly points out that they didn't likely cut bricks to make a path for the vertical steam lines going to the different levels, so to properly insulate your steam risers, you should be looking in an area like a closet to find the soffits for them.
@ April 5, 2014 11:06 PM in Auto fill/back flow preventer. Is it necessary?Manufacturers aren't responsible for the install, they make the equipment that has the ability to satisfy the code and the installer takes it from there. Most instructions mention that the unit should be installed to applicable codes. They won't take the blame if you don't turn up the temp of the tank to mitigate the risk.
@ February 25, 2014 9:11 AM in any risk associated with a properly executed TSP cleaning?I like your research into this, been very interesting. The precipitates forming in your saucepan after the NaOH was added are most likely the chlorides that form from raising or lowering your solutions pH. And you and the Navy are correct in not wanting to use too high pH solution(or lower for that matter) and using water to adjust because it takes a factor of 10 for each level you wish to raise or lower the solution i.e; 1 litre of pH 4 solution to pH 6 requires approx 100 L of water, to hit 7 requires 1000 L. It's one of the reasons that we don't use water to adjust pH if there is a spill at our facility. Massive increase in size of the clean up
@ February 19, 2014 9:05 AM in How serious an issue is water quality?I would think it would be a competitor to their filtration products but I would imagine it would add another layer of protection when used with inhibitors and the like. We use a similar system by dominck-hunter at my full time job to filter parts of our process flows during vessel transfers. I've often wondered if it could be used in a hydronic system, especially ones that contain iron, and this appears to answer "yes" to that question. Nice design, the filter mediums look easy to swap out when the time comes.
I do have a question about the medium that removes all the dissolved minerals from the water. Would that not be a bad thing, kind of like adding deionized or RO water to the system.? Wouldn't the water remove theminerals from the metal in your system to try and re-establish a balance? We have problems measuring pH of our pure water because of the lack of minerals.
On the positive side
@ February 18, 2014 6:47 AM in how prevalent is this?A trip through the comment section brings up just about every myth/misinformation related
to radiant heat that I've ever heard, so it lets me know what I'm up against(Using 7/8 inch pipe under floor for better heat transfer was a good one, among others) I think it just reinforces the fact that the industry needs a better informed consumer as to why it costs what it does for this type of system. They don't know what they don't know." It's just water pumped through pipes, right? Anyone can do that" The comments weren't much of a surprise, I've heard variations of them in my short time learning this trade and those people tend not to be your client base. (Lowest price=best system)
@ February 12, 2014 11:19 PM in Heat gain in computer server roomCould they use the waste heat to help with DHW? Sounds like this would be a good application to use it.
good info
@ February 1, 2014 12:14 PM in Battery CO?I work with methylene chloride on a regular basis at my place of business, and the vapours are heavier than air so they will accumulate in low areas with a potential for flashback.
I honestly hadn't given any thought to it being contained in cleaning compounds. I will have to look at the MSDS for the cleaning solvents when I'm back at work.
As far as breaking down in the body, we had an incident many years ago involving 2 gentlemen while they were loading an acetonitrile damp product. The air exchange for the room they were in was off, so while they were in there, their respirator cartridges were becoming saturated very quickly. 5 min life of fresh cartridges(unheard of!), 45 min exposure. Problems didn't arise until roughly 8 hrs later while they were at home. It was found that after ingesting the vapours, as it breaks down in the body, it turns to cyanide. The 2 gentlemen spent 2 days in the hospital in an oxygen tent, and were very lucky to survive, given how much chemical they had been exposed to.
I'm going to guess
@ January 4, 2014 10:13 AM in swing jointsThat his answer will be, yes
@ December 4, 2013 5:07 PM in Thoughts on dense packing plaster walls?can be a lot of heat loss, especially at the rim joists(old houses tend to leak where they meet the foundation)
Old layers of paint are NOT vapour barriers, they are vapour retarders. It is an important distinction to make.
Should be
@ December 3, 2013 9:07 AM in Thoughts on dense packing plaster walls?fine without a vapour barrier. Cellulose insulation isn't like fibreglass, it won't lose its insulating ability with some moisture in it. As long as the wall can dry in at least one direction, it will be ok.(We're talking vapour, not bulk water. Leaks are very bad and must be fixed) You can find just about all the info you'll need in the article below and its assorted links.
I suppose
@ November 15, 2013 5:14 PM in Good Advice?The btu per sq. ft rules of thumb will be helpful for people who live in tents
@ November 12, 2013 6:24 PM in Quality of help on the WallThat is the perfect attitude to have. If you educate the consumer, they will be able to make more informed decisions and, in my opinion, it will be much easier to sell your installs because they'll know exactly why yours may cost more than the cheapest guy. Education helps everyone, in every line of work
Hate to be the bearer of bad news
@ November 2, 2013 10:23 PM in code man says my DHW tank has to go as a heat source What now?But according to their shipping policy, pexsupply doesn't ship outside of the U.S. I'm pretty sure that includes us up here in the Great White North.
He would like
@ October 31, 2013 10:10 AM in Knight boiler problemsadditional pictures of the exhaust/intake lines that terminate through the glass block wall. Those need to be done according to the manufacturers approved installation instructions.
Been awhile
@ October 19, 2013 6:29 PM in AquaPex in closed loopbut I thought I'd give a quick update. I replaced all the aquapex with hepex(wasn't as big a job as the last installer made it out to be, 1 person, 10hr day) and everyone that said it was the wrong tubing to begin with was absolutely correct. In roughly one year there was a significant coating of rust, sticking to EVERY square inch of the aquapex(with inhibitor). I could see it through the tubing with a flashlight. The hepex, so far, has absolutely nothing sticking to its walls(I don't expect that to change)
Thank you for the excellent advice(those that were worried about the boiler dying a quick death were justified, there was a lot of crap flushed out of the heat exchanger) and hopefully I get another 10 yrs out of the boiler so I can finish the reno work here before it needs replacing
@ October 19, 2013 5:52 PM in code man says my DHW tank has to go as a heat source What now?He may not be able to get that pump. I live fairly close to Toronto, so if its going to be available, it would be here first but every supply place I went to, after they stopped looking at me like I had 3 eyes,(not many of them had even heard of it 6 months ago) said it wasn't being shipped in the foreseeable future to Canada. (it may be available now but I haven't had time to look into it lately)

I had high hopes for..., December 12, 2011
I had high hopes for this pen, but it is a huge disappointment. The roller doesn't start laying ink right away, especially at the beginning of upstrokes, so I keep having to go back and write over my words to correct the missing parts. I wouldn't buy this pen again.
The way I fill my converters..., March 17, 2011
The way I fill my converters is to remove them from the pen, and hold the end of the converter into the ink while I unscrew the piston. That saves ink and makes for a lot less mess. However, I found that unlike other converters I've used, this converter doesn't narrow down at the tip, so if you turn it upside down with ink in it, the ink runs out in a gush! Still it works fine with my Prera.
I've had this pen for..., March 17, 2011
I've had this pen for about a week now. I'm starting to like it a bit better - for me, the nib was so fine that ink would not flow, so I finally slid a thin sheet of plastic between the tines and spread them out just a tad and now it writes well. The grey color is fine for work, and I am now using this pen as my daily carry. It's very solidly constructed, and the lid is secure either capped or posted. All hardware on the pen is solid. I may get another one.

I have a love-hate relationship with reading. I touched on it here, and thought there was really more to it than that… but it turns out, as I sat the last few minutes staring at this composition screen, that there isn't much more. My time is precious to me, and I already struggle immensely with feeling like I can't balance it wisely. Adding a habit that is very time-consuming and doesn't produce immediately tangible results seems to me, at first, {Read More}
The Empty Shelf Challenge
Make it Matter
This piece first appeared at creatingchange360.com when I guest posted in August of this year. In case you didn't read all of it then, here you go! I'll be back from our break on October 21st, and new content will resume then. Thanks for reading! Recently, I asked a question in a twitter conversation about attending a particular conference. I hadn't put much thought into it, really; it was asked sincerely, but mostly in an effort to keep the conversation {Read More}
Unexpected Turns
As I mentioned at the inception of this blog, I recently answered a request from Jon Acuff (NYT best-selling author of Stuff Christians Like, Quitter and Start) to join him on a secret adventure. Little did I know it would have the potential to rock my world, change my life, and hopefully reach someone else as well. Maybe a lot of someones? That would truly blow my mind. So what has happened in 11 short days? I joined a family of dreamers in the {Read More}
Someday, I swear, these posts will be about more than the Start Experiment. Right now though? It's rocking my world. I have so much to share, but wanted to quickly give you this, from my #startexp journal. (And yes, I freaking hate writing with a pen and paper as much as I thought I would. I'm a bit of a rule-follower though, so what am I to do?) Transcribed, for the sake of legibility – "Voices of doubt be damned, {Read More}
Fear fears truth.
"Fear fears community". That's true, but do you know what else fear fears? Truth. Today my assignment was to write out my fears on paper. I am full of them, so I just started with those related to pursuing a life that matters. Quickly, it was obvious that though I had listed 14 or 15 different trip-ups, they fell directly into three overarching categories: How others will see me Whether or not I have the resources, ability, etc to carry {Read More}
START somewhere.
Recently, after replying to a short-lived tweet, I got an email from Jon Acuff. If you don't immediately know who that is, start here. But he's more than a funny guy – Stuff Christians Like has had some of the most life-changing, life-giving pieces I've ever read. Outside of SCL, Jon and his team at Dave Ramsey's place have been picking up great momentum to change lives around the globe by challenging us to live with purpose. So when Jon {Read More}

Look for kaffir lime leaves at Asian markets, or substitute a teaspoon of grated lime rind. Shrimp paste is also available at Asian markets and freezes well. The homemade curry paste is worth making: It offers the best flavor and is much lower in sodium than commercial pastes.
Cooking Light DECEMBER 2013
1. To prepare curry paste, combine first 11 ingredients in a mortar or bowl; grind with a pestle until mixture forms a smooth paste.
2. To prepare mussels, heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add cauliflower; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in curry paste, stock, and milk; bring to a boil. Add mussels; cover, and simmer 5 minutes or until mussels open. Discard any unopened shells. Stir in lime juice and herbs. Spoon into shallow bowls; serve immediately.

Chilly Gonzales On Song Writing
I listen to NPR - don't judge.
I recently heard an interview with pianist Chilly Gonzales. I'll admit that I had never heard of him before this interview, but I had heard his music (and so have you if you've ever seen an iPad commercial). The whole interview is worth a listen, but there are a couple things that he said in the interview that really jumped out at me as a songwriter:
- - - - - -
SULLIVAN: My guest is pianist Chilly Gonzales. His latest album is called "Solo Piano II." I'm wondering when you sit down to write these pieces, are you just sort of working it out in the moment, or are you writing it down on paper and playing it over and over and over again and, you know, having each song be completely independent of each other?
GONZALES: It's more the second version, except I do not write it down. I mostly wait for the songs that won't leave me alone to just be persistent enough that I'll finish them.
SULLIVAN: Is it hard to remember what you've just written?
GONZALES: Well, if it's hard to remember, I guess it wasn't good.
SULLIVAN: Is that true?
GONZALES: Yeah. You just make music all the time, and the stuff that won't let you alone is the good stuff. That's the stuff that people are going to connect to, because it won't leave you alone. You're humming it all the time when you're in the airplane. You know, every time you sit down at the piano, your fingers end up on that same A-flat minor chord. And you - at one point, you realize you have a song.
- - - - - -
"If it's hard to remember, I guess it wasn't good."
My songwriting process is pretty similar to his. I let songs roll around in my head for days and days and I go back to the guitar and piano to work them out. I'd love to hear your songwriting process.
Suggestions For Using Youth Sings Part 2
Suggestions For Using Youth Sings
A few weeks ago I started a series of blog posts based on a book that I found called "Youth Sings". It's an old Youth Group song book that includes a page of suggestions on leading worship for youth groups. Even though it's an old book, I think the advice is pretty timeless - especially when placed in the right context.
Today, we'll look at point #2:
2. Plan the singing and choice of numbers in advance, but keep an informal atmospere by having occasional request numbers.
The last blog I wrote stressed the importance of preparation and I don't think that point can be over emphasized. I talked about how it's considerate to the person operating your lyrics and it will greatly help you as you lead your congregation. This week though, let's talk about how preparation will improve your ability to lead your worship team and in turn your whole congregation.
I've had the opportunity to be in several positions on stage. I've been the leader and I've also been a background vocalist and instrumentalist. This blog post could be entirely driven by personality and preference - so keep that in mind - but whatever position I'm in on stage I feel like a prepared leader, who has the songs mapped out and has a clear direction, adds so much to the worship experience for everyone.
As a worship leader - I want to be respectful of my worship team's time and talent. So, it's very important for me to know what songs we are going to be rehearsing, the structure and key of the songs, and how the songs will fit together. I want to get the songs to my worship team in a timely manner so they can practice them on their own and I will do my best to make sure the charts and mp3's of the songs match the structure and key that we will be playing them. When my team arrives for rehearsal - I will do everything within my power to make sure the rehearsal space is ready to go for my musicians to plug right in. For the majority of churches - your worship team will be made up of volunteer musicians. They have jobs, famillies, hobbies, friends, and responsibilities outside of the church. So I want to show them that their time is valuable to me. The best way to do that is preparation.
As a volunteer musician I would say much of the same. I want to be respectful of my fellow musician's time and abilities. I always want to go through the songs on my own to make sure I've learned my parts, the songs structure, and so I'm able to engage with my fellow musicians without being tied down to a chart.
So where does "keeping an informal atmosphere by having occasional request numbers" come in?
As a leader, I think it comes with holding loosely to being the ultimate authority on song selection and structure. I would recommend keeping open lines of communication with your worship team members on what songs they are listening to and songs that may fit well in your congregational setting. Also, creating an atmosphere in worship rehearsals that allows your team members to say things like "I really felt like we should have gone into that chorus again right there" or "do you feel like we should all hold back on that verse." By doing this, you'll also begin to see more leaders develop within your team.
As a worship team member - it means making a song your own (within your talent level). I would encourage you to learn a song well enough that you can freely worship and follow where you're being lead. Know your strengths and weaknesses as a musician. If you can't pull off that sweet guitar riff that's on the recording - that's okay. Create something that falls within your skill level or just play the chords really really well.
I don't want to get ahead of myself though, because point #3 will be "learn the numbers well." Being prepared has to be the foundation that we build everything else on.
MWB Lyrics and Chords
I've recieved several messages on Facebook about lyrics and chords from the original songs that we did at camp this year. You can download charts for most of our songs here. If you do perform one of our songs live, I'd love to hear your version! Record it and send me a youtube link.
