Past the baseball diamond, along a mulched path and over a small bridge at , you could find students buzzing around like busy bees in the noonday sun May 22.
Fifth grader Andy Nelson of Maple Grove helps dig while a clump of third graders gather around chatting and eager to pick up a shovel.
Nelson and five other fifth graders that make up the school's Destination Imagination Team decided their challenge was going to be a community outreach project to help improve their school's budding nature center.
"The idea started small with having a few trees," Nelson said. "Then it grew bigger and the city got involved. It became a fiasco, but a really fun fiasco."
As part of the city of Plymouth's Arbor Day Celebration, the city donated 16 trees, 12 shrubs and a variety of plants for a butterfly garden for the school's Nature Center.
Kimberly Lane Principal Gary Kipling designated May 22 as an All School Planting Day. Teachers signed their classrooms up for 30 minute time slots throughout the day and third, fourth and fifth grade classes broke off into groups to plant trees while first and second grade classes planted shrubs. Kindergarten classes helped plant a butterfly garden.
When complete the Kimberly Lane Nature Center will be wonderful place to gather for environmental classes, led by school naturalist Marleane Callaghan, or to visit on the weekends and enjoy a stroll through this mini-arboretum.
"Our DI teacher says we're leaving a legacy," Nelson said.
Even after Nelson and the other fifth graders move on from Kimberly Lane this year the Nature Center project will continue to grow.
Nelson said a Nature Club is being created for the school. Student Club members would water plants, help weed and maintain the garden during summer vacation.
The school wants to give special thanks to:
- Paul Buck, Plymouth Forester, who generously donated his time, all of the plants, trees and shrubs, as well as four wood duck houses and four bat houses.
- All Seasons Wild Bird Store of Wayzata, who donated three open platform bird feeders.
- Boy Scout Troop 539 for making four bluebird houses.
- DI Team Members: Sabrina Akselrod, Blake Eyer, Allan Grudsky, Emmy Markgraf, Andy Nelson and Lily Ozell

The first Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly was formed in the Old Hyderabad State, on 1st March 1952. The state was trifurcated and members from Telangana, Karnataka and Marathwada regions joined the legislature on 1st November 1956. The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly maintained its unicameral status from 1956 to 1958, until when it was declared bicameral in 1958 and continued to be so till 1st June 1985. It was at this time the Legislative Council was abolished and the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly regained its unicameral status.
Presently the Andhra Pradesh Legislature houses 295 members, out of which one member is a representative of the Anglo-Indian Community. Till 1985, the Town Hall was the Assembly Hall, until the new Assembly Hall was inaugurated on 3rd August 1985. Now, the old Assembly Hall is the Central Hall of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Committees are comprised of several bodies. The several committees of the assembly are Business Advisory, Public Undertakings, Privileges, Subordinate Legislation, Government Assurances, Rules, Welfare of Minorities, Welfare of Women & Children, and Wild Life and Environment Protection to name a few. There are house committees on 'Sarva Sikshna Abhiyan Programme and District Primary Education Programme' and on 'IIIegal Occupation of Christian Missionaries and Educational Institutions'.
Sri Narayan Dutt Tiwari is the governor of Andhra Pradesh. The Chief Minister of the state is Dr. Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy, better known as YSR. He has made a mark in state politics with his exemplary devotion to politics and state's welfare. Keithreddi Suresh Reddy is the Hon'ble Speaker of the 12th Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly. The leader of opposition in the assembly is Mr. N. Chandrababu Naidu. He was elected in the assembly in the year 1978 from the Chandragiri constituency of Chittoor district. He was reelected from Kuppam constituency in 1989 and 1994.
The Andhra Pradesh Assembly summoned the House five times in its 12th term. In session I, the assembly sat for 28 days, whereas in the second session it sat for 9 days and for 31 days in the third. The fourth and fifth session continued for 7 days and 13 days respectively. Like any other assembly in the country, the interactive sessions at Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly are held by asking questions, getting them answered, making speeches and passing bills.
The party position seems to be quite strong in the 12th term as 7 out of 8 Bills were passed by the assembly in its first session. 5 bills out of 7 were passed in the second session, 14 bills were passed in the third session and 18 in the fifth session. One bill was withdrawn in the fifth session. Indian National Congress enjoyed a favorable position throughout the term though the possibility of other parties coming to power cannot really be wiped out in the upcoming assembly election.
The last Assembly Election in Andhra Pradesh was held in the year 2004. INC got a clean win with 186 seats. INC was followed by TDP with 45 seats, TRS with 26 seats and other parties with 37 seats altogether. The date for the Andhra Pradesh by-elections is May 29th as it has been announced by the Election Commission. There are 4 vacancies in the Lok Sabha and 18 in the assembly. With the by-elections round the corner, the political parties are all geared up for the referendum on the Telangana region as a separate state. The mass resignations especially by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) triggered the by-polls and the parties are getting ready for the elections scheduled in the next year.
4 members of the Lok Sabha and 16 legislators of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti resigned last month. This was to mark a protest against the delay in declaring statehood to Telangana by the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA). Their allegations were against the Congress. Congress has been accused of betraying the people living in the Telangana region. All the allegations were in reference to the 2004 poll promise. The en masse resignation moved the case to the "people's court". The death of the Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) legislators has left vacancy for 2 seats to be occupied with the by-poll elections.
The Congress which is ruling presently is hoped to face tough competition as both the TRS and the Communist Party of India-Marxist are ready to prove the flaws of the ruling party. The competition is tougher, more so because Congress had an electoral alliance with the parties in 2004. The TRS chief – KCR is hoping a repeat of last year's result in the Karimnagar Lok Sabha elections. However, TRS experienced a major setback in 2006 when 10 of its legislators revolted against its chief.
By-polls are equally important for the TDP – the most prominent opposition party. The chief, N. Chandrababu Naidu, has involved actor sons and grandsons of N.T. Rama Rao, the founder of the party, to regain power. The TDP has formed a committee to take up the Telangana issue seriously. The Congress which is showing least interest in the Telangana issue is hoping to gain votes through the "good work" it believes to have shown in the last 4 years. The issue has been handed over for a final decision, to the party president Sonia Gandhi. The party will seek votes on the development plank. With the 2004 Andhra Pradesh Elections proving disastrous for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the party is gearing up to contest fresh in the elections, promising a separate Telangana. BJP managed to get only two seats in the last assembly election.

You should try the simplest possible way to start jack first, from the

Wonderful tour along the romantic roads, loved our stay in Rothenburg, lovely hotel stay @ hotel goldene rose, did the night watchmen tour was definatly worth it, tour guide was very informative and funny. The highlight was Neuchwanstein castle which was amazing and beautiful the hotel Muller was a gorgeous hotel only wish we could have arrived earlier as we had to check out quite early in morning so didn't have much time in our lovely room, but no complaints, except Deutche touring did stuff up our dates but promptly rectified.
Doing what: Three Day Frankfurt to Munich - Romantic Road, Rothenburg, Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein
We loved the tour. Rothenburg was romantic, charming and beautiful. Our tour guide suggested a lunch restaurant which was disappointing. Maybe she got a free or discounted lunch there but the food was expensive and not tasty, although the ambiance was great. The tour guide did very little to ensure that we toured Rothenburg. She just quoted very limited directions of the town layout and then we were on our own for hours. It was not a tour led by a guide but rather driving to a locations, with suggestions on arrival and on your own to figure it out.
Harburg Castle was a surprise as we did not know we would have as extensive and elaborate tour. Yes, the castle was interesting and the castle guide great. Our tour leader was basically directing us how to leave the bus and where to meet up with the tour guide at the castle.
We loved the whole day and the other bus passengers who were fun to talk to.
Our tour guide seemed to lose interest in us. But Rothenburg is a traffic place to visit.

This tour for us was magic. The hotel in Rothenburg was very comfortable, and the "old town" simply amazing. So much wonderful history, not only here, but along the whole route. Weikersheim was very special. As we proceeded down the Romantic Road we saw the increasing richness of the countryside. Wonderful rich, rich farmlands surrounding beautiful centuries old towns. It was a great way to go, from north to south. To finish in Hohenschwangau, and stay the night at the magnificent Hotel Muller was a terrific surprise, with a view of the "Fairy Tale Castle" from our hotel room window. Many thanks to all those involved, who made this tour so wonderful. The tour leaders, the drivers and the hotel employees who looked after us so well. It went like clockwork.
Doing what: Three Day Frankfurt to Munich - Romantic Road, Rothenburg, Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein
A wonderful overview of the beauty of Bavaria. The historic towns and tours were fascinating. We had to make a change in itinerary to end in Munich instead of Frankfurt - it was easy to do by phone, so the support was great. The bus drivers on the Romantic Road buses were generally helpful but it varied by day.
The combination of reserved transportation and hotels, plus lots of free time to wander the cities, was just right for us. We really enjoyed those days more than the first tour day of two castles and a tourist town! It was too rushed with little time for exploration, questions, etc. The slower pace of the next three days was much more pleasant.
The start was confusing. We didn't realize we were to take the bus tour from Munich to Neuschwanstein and the drivers/tour guides weren't sure what to do with us either. Once we got going we realized how it worked. But more information at the beginning would have been very helpful.
Our overall impression was very positive, again, once we figured out how it worked. Thanks for a wonderful introduction to the history of the region. We want to come back again soon.

The Harburg castle tour was awesome!
Rothenburg was ok, there were lots of neat Christmas shops, places to eat, and plenty of time to walk around, however the description of "The oldest preserved medieval town in Europe" seemed a stretch. There were too many tourists to really feel like you were transported back in time.
Romantic Road is only a highway that the bus drives on to get to Rothenburg. It was a pretty drive but nothing special.

I was extremely disappointed with the organisation of this trip. I knew I could organise this trip for a lot less than the cost that I was charged and it would have been easier and less problems. However I thought having this part of my trip organised for me would have been worth the extra cost. However, I the wrong vouchers were faxed to my hotel, then I went to the pick up point for my vouchers, there was nothing there for me. I could not get in touch with the company to enquire and then was put through to America's help desk where I was told that everything would be fine with my voucher that I had which after some every expensive phonecalls, did not get any answers. The only way I got my vouchers was through the help of a lovely lady who worked at one of the hotels I stayed at. The lady at the hotel also said that the next couple that were coming were having the same problem. I would not book this trip again. It is much easier and cheaper to complete this tour on your own. I did do another tour with this company which was fabolous but while I was waiting for the tour a group came in and there was no communication between them and the tour and the tour was cancelled for them. I suspect there can be problems when booking through this company. I did however have a perfect tour while completing the Wachau Wine Tour but was very disappointed in the organisation and the help that I was given through this company while doing this 3 day Romantic Road Trip. This is very sad to say, as Rothenburg was spectacular as with Hohenschavangau.

Salzburg was a long bus ride, but the town is just so cute, I highly recommend this tour. However, you're really just paying for transportation, you're left to your own devices once you arrive. You'll want to decide in advance which sights are priority because there isn't enough time to see everything. We took the elevator up to get some fantastic photos overlooking the city and fortress, so definitely don't miss that, but get lunch elsewhere. The restaurant just above the lookout is a little overpriced and if you sit outside, the bees will swarm you. The old cemetary below the cliff is quiet and very beautiful and the main pedestrian street is really something else. Our favorite part of this day was the boat trip on the lake, but don't forget extra euros, its not included in the tour price. It was a sunny beautiful day and very relaxing after so much walking.
The Romantic Road / Rothenburg trip was probably the highlight of our vacation for me. You make a short stop first at Harburg Castle and take a short, interesting tour of the fort. Then on to Rothenburg which is the epitome of what you'd think Old Bavaria should look like. I don't care if people say its touristy, if you're on vacation then you're a tourist, get over yourself and enjoy it for what it is... a cute, quaint, fun, beautiful little village with a bunch of other tourists. If you have the time and money, I recommend staying here for a night or two because an afternoon will just leave you wanting more. You're left to your own devices upon arrival, so don't expect a guided tour, but its more fun exploring on your own anyway. Don't miss a walk along the defensive wall and try a Schneeballen, they're not super sweet and they come in all kinds. If you're looking for a great souvenir, this is the place to get it. The Anneliese Friese Cuckoo Clock store is THE BEST hands down! Best service, best prices and its all German-made, not from China. Go here first!

The countryside along the Romantic Road was very scenic and beautiful. The village of Rothenburg seems to be frozen in time, and allows a historical glimpse of the past. We enjoyed the entire day.
Doing what: Romantic Road, Rothenburg and Harburg Day Tour from Munich
Overall the romantic tour brought us some really beautiful places in Germany, and we enjoyed the tour very much. However, I think the tour package is slightly overpriced for the quality of the hotels we got. Hotel muller in neuschwanstein was good but the boutique hotel golden rose in rothenburg was not up to our expectations. We were given a room isolated in a guest house a short distance away from the main building and in the middle of the night, I had a spooky encounter. This was indeed terrible and my very first experience. I suggest that viator reviews the hotel rooms provided to their guests as it is indeed sad to associate such a pleasant place with spooky memories.

Salzburg was great our guide Tina did an excellent job. She had some problem with people not following the rules and we had to wait and look for people who did not show up at the bus on time. The Romantic road was even better the castle was fantastic and easy to walk through. Roethenburg was very interesting and I would love to back there again.

We took three different tours from Gray line Munich. One of which was Salzburg and the Lake district. Our tour guide was Lucy(if I remember correctly). My journey date was 3rd of August. We were told that the journey to Salzburg will take +/- 2 and half hours depending on the traffic. Unfortunately, it took five long hours to reach Salzburg. We were not happy,as this means you have to cut short your tour time. As anticipated, the time was cut short for the city visit and were given less than 2 hrs( from getting off the bus to reporting on the specific said time). One woman was not happy, and she was answered by the guide that it is a small town, nothing much to see. I don't know from where she came up with this idea. We found it as a very interesting historical place. However, we all were running,it was too hot and made things harder for us. I don't expect to go into roots of a city in hours visit,but at the same time you feel cheated when the specific tour time was cut short.Five stars was for sure if they have adjusted the delay with one more hour. As I have already read reviews,so didn't expect any details from our tour guide in Austria, but to my surprise, she explained fairly about the attractions. Bus was very comfortable . AC worked well. Cruise in Lake Wolfgansee was breathtaking. She gave us time for photo stop at St. Gilgen, when she went for buying tickets.
Overall, I like the tour ,but wish we should not have deprived of our tour time. However after this Salzburg experience I will still recommend their tour because when you choose travel agencies then you are in a planned schedule that is set by keeping in mind the need of tourists from all over the world. So, if you like to spend more time at specific places, then it is always to do it individually. I did the castles' tour and Zugspitze on my own. Enough time to explore on my own, which you don't get while traveling with tour companies. My tour to Innsbruck with Margit and Romantic road- Debbi

September 21 is World Alzheimer's Day.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) or simply Alzheimer's is one of the most common forms of dementia. Dementia refers to the loss of cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person. Alzheimer's is a degenerative form of dementia meaning the patient's condition worsens as the disease progresses. It's estimated that it affects over 26 million people around the world and is more prevalent in Western nations. Of course, this is due to a longer lifespan and better methods to diagnose the illness. Here are some things you should know about this ailment:
Spot it early
There's evidence to suggest that diagnosing the illness early can help provide a better quality of life for patients and even slow down the progression of the illness. However, the problem with diagnosing Alzheimer's early is that the symptoms are often mistaken for forgetfulness or stress. The early signs of the disease that people need to watch out for are frequent memory loss that disrupts everyday life, challenges in solving everyday problems, difficulty with chores, confusion about time or place, trouble writing and sudden changes in mood and personality.
No known cause
Scientists still haven't figured exactly what causes the disease but plaques and tangles in the brain look different than regular individuals. As of now, there is no treatment to reverse or stop the disease and the current treatment methods simply focus on treating the symptoms. The first risk is of course age and the probably of getting the illness doubles every five years after 65. You're also likelier to suffer from the disease if it runs in your family.
More common than you think
It's a disease which is likelier to affect the elderly. While three out of a thousand people in the 65-69 age range are likely to get Alzheimer's, the prevalence doubles every five years. Over the age of 85 the prevalence is 40% and 69% over 90. There's also a correlation between cardiovascular illness and the illness. It's estimated that around 26.6 million people around the world are living with Alzheimer's; experts believe that the number could quadruple by 2050 as the average lifespan goes up.
Prevention might be possible
A lot of research has shown a correlation between the illness and lifestyle choices. People, who live a healthy lifestyle, exercise more, eat healthy, avoid smoking, are socially active and engage in stimulating mental activities like playing chess are less likely to get Alzheimer's.
Caregiver's burden
As we've mentioned before, there's no cure for the illness and the only medications available treat the symptoms of the disease. This places a huge burden on the caregivers since many patients are incapable of taking care of their basic needs. They have trouble doing simple things like eating, opening locks, going to the bathroom and other everyday chores. This can lead to oral health issues, malnutrition, hygiene problems, and skin or eye infections. The majority of costs in treating Alzheimer's patients goes towards providing them a proper dignified lifestyle and is one of the major issues that need to be addressed.
Treatment options
Treatment for Alzheimer's involves some medicines which look to treat the symptoms of the illness and no drug has been found to halt or reverse this degenerative disease. On the other hand there are many psycho-social interventions for patients but they are for all forms of dementia and not specifically for Alzheimer's. There are interventions which involve reminiscence therapy (discussion of past experiences to jog a patient's memory), simulated presence therapy (playing a recording of voices of the closest relatives to reduce challenging behaviour) and validation theory which is based on accepting the reality about dementia and moving past it to get better. There is however, no evidence to support the efficacy of these therapies. That being said, many caregivers believe it does improve the quality of a patient's life.
Alzheimer's disease is set to become a major public health problem in the coming years as people live longer and we need to work on public health solutions to lessen the damage. Also there's a lot of ongoing research to treat the disease and we might have a cure for it as well. What we as a society can do is focus on the importance of treating mental illness as seriously as physical ailments like cancer or heart disease with comes age so that everyone, including the aged can live a live full of dignity.

text: Card: Brett Lawrie 2012 Bowman Platinum Cutting Edge Stars #CES-BL Comments: I'm not a huge fan of die-cut cards. It's not that I believe that all cards must be 3.5" x 2.5" and made of cardboard — I actually happen to like some of the newer innovations like minis and wood and printing plates and bordered cards. But I have never liked weirdly shaped cards. I think that somehow in my mind a trading card is not defined by material or size or frame but instead by shape. Plus, die-cuts are hard to scan. And while I'm ranting about new innovations, do we really need to photoshop every single card to death? It looks great on Allen & Ginter and retro/arty sets, but it seems like just about every product that releases nowadays is desperately trying to one-up the last when it comes to who can apply the "burn" tool more liberally to each photo. Look at those jersey-wrinkles pop! More burn!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I customized this save the date with my own photos, wedding date, and color. I used the design for magnets, and the quality was absolutely flawless! I'm so happy with my magnets!"
"We ordered these for our Save the Dates and we are so pleased! They arrived a week earlier then the expected date(which was surprising since we are in Canada), and not only do the colors and pictures look great, but the quality of the magnet is awesome too. We were really impressed with the customer service through weddingpaperdivas.com as well, they definitely worked with us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted! Would definitely recommend!"
"I absolutely loved how my save the dates came out. Everyone who received them thought the magnet idea was also very creative and unique. When it came to customizing colors and editing designs, it was so easy and the staff are helpful. Every specific detail they can edit to your taste. For example, I felt there were too many swirls so they took as much as I wanted off. This came out just perfect. The quality was also worth every penny."
"I appreciate being able to change the text The font on the bottom is REALLY small and if I had thought about it sooner, I would have made it in all capital letters."
"These magnets came out beautiful! Everyone is calling us to say how nice they are. They are a nice size, and look great! We used the light blue on the bottom with photo of us at the beach on top."

We're still a couple days away from official trick or treating, but youngsters began collecting their candy Sunday.
One Halloween event was a little bittersweet for an Elkhart County Church.
We first told you Saturday night about a fire that threatened Sunday morning services at the First Baptist on County Road 17.
Now, churchgoers are doing their best to move forward, holding their Trunk or Treat event in the church parking lot.
"Kids will be kids and in the midst of this they don't even know what happened. They're here to get candy and it's a great time tonight," said Pastor Phil Byars.
Services weren't held at the church Sunday morning because of the fire. Repairs to the main auditorium are expected to take two months.

I'm looking to get into some plein air sketching this summer, but I have two problems.
First, I don't know what kind of palette to use. I'm thinking something along the lines of Payne's Gray, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Sap Green, and White. I'm new to this...is there a "classic" palette for plein air sketching? Does anyone have a different palette to recommend?
Second, I do not own a plein air sketching easel, nor do I have the funds to purchase one at this time (I am hoping to purchase one in the future). Is there an easy way to set something up that is reasonably portable and affordable?
Thank you!

Well I'm pretty new to plein air too, but if you look at impressionist painting you pretty much have the palette down. There are blues, greens, even purples that aren't on your list- yours sounds a lot like a classical palette- which would kind of dull things out for plein air unless that's what ur going for.
I have a wooden box that holds my paints and I prop the canvas or canvas board on it... haha.
Thank you! I guess I'll try that!
I use burnt sienna, cobalt blue (nice sky colour), sap green and then maybe some cad red and yellow light with tit white. Completely depends what you're painting I guess. I don't really like the impressionist palette personally (I think they get a bit overly colour happy sometimes and ignore tonal work). I've only just started myself but I would think that having too many more colours would get cumbersome, when plien air sketching is meant to be pretty quick and loose.
Also, you'll want to make sure you bring a parasol or good hat and paint in the shade, because painting in direct sunlight really throws everything off (since you're likely to view the finished painting indoors).
I have a light wooden easel with extendable legs that was cheap as chips that I use now, but before that I would just bluetac my canvas board to the inside of a large folder (shown below). The peg at the top stops the other side from touching the board when the folder is closed so I could bring it with me in my backpack, paint in oils, and then take it home without worrying about the paint smearing. A bit awkward compared to an easel, but serviceable. (I was going to stick brackets to the back of the folder so it could hold itself upright, but then I just gave in and got an easel).
Good luck with it mate, have fun!
Ah, major thanks, Puck! That sounds like a nice, cheap, easy set up. Will do!
You could pick up a cigar box from a tobacco shop, and a few pieces of balsa wood, then rig something up, heres a few links that might give you some ideas:
Theres lots of different pallets you could try out:
Cadmium yellow lemon
Cadmium yellow deep
Cadmium Red
Alizarin Crimson
Cobalt Blue
Ultramarine Blue
Titanium White
Or the limited pallets:
Ivory Black,
Yellow Ochre,
and Cadmium Red or Vermilion (for red)
and White
Burnt Sienna
Cadmium Yellow or Yellow Ochre
Try different setups, see what works for you.
Daylight is generally cool, so cad yellow lemon and cad yellow are good choices. The darkest darks will be warm. Try mixing ultra blue with a warm red. Get a copy of "Hawthorne on painting" and read it all. Then pay special attention to the chapter on landscape painting (it is painting, not drawing tat you want to do, right?).
Mr. Joe-- Thank you! Maybe I'll try to get something put together. Your palette advice is excellent!
Maxine-- Yes, I'm looking to paint. I guess I was a bit ambiguous in my first post. Thanks for the book recommendation and advice!

Hungry for God
- Wednesday, June 15, 2011
Yet I was growing in my faith, recognizing the importance of reading the Bible, and finding God's voice in my life — if I was willing to listen.
One issue God seemed to be silent on was what I should do after college graduation. I struggled with why God didn't seem to be providing any guidance or direction — worrying that maybe he did, and I missed it. Without an inkling, I filled out applications and collected rejection slips. From the few positive responses, I accepted an internship at a magazine I'd never heard of before in Lake Mary, Florida. I spent the summer learning about publishing and stumbled into a career of writing and communicating, a career which, looking back, God had designed me for.
You are mine; you are not your own still resonates in my being years after that Christian conference I attended in college. The words were a turning point in my life. One of the mysteries and marvels of life is that we never know when God will speak or how the words will transform our lives forever.
Hearing from God is foundational to a vibrant spiritual relationship with him. We're created with the capacity to know what brings God delight and to recognize his involvement in our lives. We're meant to discover God's passions, pleasures, and pains, designed to recognize his voice and its inflections. I don't know if my mom had these things in mind when she prayed for me years ago, but I still feel the ripples of her divine request.
God Beckons
God's voice always contains an invitation to know him more, and the process of listening for God beckons us to grow in our knowledge of both the temporal and the transcendent.
Such is the lesson in 1 Kings 18 – 19 when Elijah answers the invitation to follow and know God with abandon. Given a "mission: impossible" by God, Elijah is instructed to speak out against the false prophets and wicked leaders ruling over the land. His decision to obey leads to a fiery showdown on top of Mount Carmel in which the false prophets are defeated and Elijah becomes the target of the wicked leaders' scorn. He escapes with his life, but falls into deep depression. He begs God to let him die. God refuses. Though Elijah doesn't feel particularly hungry for God, his body cries out for food. Twice God sends an angel to feed Elijah, and, strengthened by the meal, Elijah travels to Mount Horeb.
Horeb — a name used by some biblical writers to refer to the Sinai region — is, in the Hebrew Scriptures, one of God's favorite places to offer invitations. Here God calls Moses2 and invites the Israelites into a divine covenant.3 At Horeb the Israelites accept God's invitation to travel to Canaan and Kadesh-Barnea.4 It's no surprise, then, that God meets Elijah in this special place to invite the prophet into a deeper relationship.
Elijah is just coming off the crowning achievement of his career: God was faithful to honor his every request as he defeated the false prophets at Carmel. But Queen Jezebel decides to rain on his party. She places a price on his head and promises to have him killed.
"How could this be, God?" Elijah must have wondered.
"Did you give me victory only to allow defeat?"
Emotionally drained, the depressed prophet shuffles into a cave on the side of the mountain. He's physically spent. In the midst of the wilderness of silence, God calls Elijah by name, asking, "What are you doing here?"
The prophet rips into God, alleging that his fervent dedication and willingness to risk everything has been in vain. The Israelites have rejected God, destroyed the holy places, and killed the true prophets anyway. With a bounty on his head, Elijah has nowhere to go.
God doesn't address a single one of Elijah's allegations; but he does respond. He instructs Elijah to stand on the side of the mountain and wait for his passing.

The beach of Punxéu (or Punxeo) is located within the West Coast Protected Landscape Area, west of the Cape Busto, Asturias. It's a beach that you can see from 2 different angles (our app AsturPlaya can take you there, download it now!)
First we saw it from its western side: we left the car in the village of Busto (this beach is pretty isolated and difficult to get to so don't count on having where to park your car anywhere nearby) and then we walked over the pastures till we reached the last viewpoint belonging to the Coastal Trail of Cape Busto (more on this in the following paragraphs).
From this point to the right you can see a series of islets and the headland of La Osa (Punta de la Osa), where the descent starts (a very dangerous one, make sure you have proper boots as it follows the course of a river and tends to be slippery quite often).
Punta de la Osa is, well, the most amazing place we saw in Asturias so far, a wild and a bit scary (for me) headland where the view is amazing: you will see the beach of Punxéu to the left and the beach of Chouréu to the right, you being on a very narrow rock in an eucalyptus forest with trees moving due to high winds…Amazing and scary, at least for me, this is what you will see:
Now, you can guess where we went to see its Eastern side: Punta de la Osa, that being reachable from the village of Queruás. As usual, leave the car where you can (the road is pretty bad there too) and walk over the fields till you reach the headland. Enter the forest and…enjoy!
When you see Punxéu from the Western side you think "No way I can get there to take a bath, I see no way down!", but there is one from Punta de la Osa. It's a slippery one so my advice is, if you have no good boots and equilibrium, don't go down.
Just admire it from afar, it will fill your heart with joy!
Some more info about Punxéu:
400 meters long beach and some 20 meters wide (but, as you know, it varies with high tide). It's an isolated and empty beach, it has no sand but boulders and pebbles and very strong waves so take care when swimming in these waters. No amenities around, no lifeguard, bars, restaurants, not even parking – you will have to walk a little to discover it and its descent path is really complicated to find and dangerous.
Weather near Punxéu
Chance of Rain24°/17°

PR-AS4 Coastal Path
The Coastal Trail PR-AS4 starts from the beach of Cueva (La Arena), goes past Cape Busto, surrounds it and goes on to the beach of Punxéu – we did not see a trail going to its neighbor Chouréu, but maybe this will change in the future.
You can leave your car in a parking near Cape Busto (there are 2) and then walk from the beach of Bozo, to Cabo, Boxada el Vino, Serrón, Barchinas and Punxéu.
You can go back using the same path or follow the signs and come back to your car since this is a circular foot path.

How to Display The Next Post/ Previous Post In The Same Category or Tag
A lot guys ask me how to display the next post and previous post in the WordPress single.php template, also I have no idea, and I have searched for a long time and found a solution, which can help you display the next post in the same category. (The WordPress' default next/previous functions seems useless these days, especially for the news, magazine WordPress themes!)
In fact, the WordPress has it's own build in function, which can help you display the next post in the same category, you can check it out here.
Here is the code, copy and paste to your single.php
<?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next post in category', TRUE); ?> <?php previous_post_link('%link', 'Previous in category', TRUE); ?>
However, this function can't work if you assign one post to multiple categories! Is there any ways to solve this problem? And most of the time, when you click one tag, then your site may list a lot posts under one tag, usually you need to click one link, then click another link, right? How can we just click the next link then we can see the next post?
What if the user came to that post from a tag page or from an author page? Wouldn't it make more sense to display previous / next posts from that particular set?
O.K, here is the solution for these headache problems!
Here is an awesome plugin for you to use: that's Smarter Navigation
Whenever a visitor goes to an archive page (category, tag, date, author, search etc.), the plugin notes which archive it is in a browser cookie, then you can click the next post link to view the next post under the same category or tag or search results!!!
How to use it?
Copy and paste the following php code to your single.php file
<?php previous_post_smart(); ?> <?php next_post_smart(); ?>
Really cool, right? Download it now!
How to Change WordPress Posts to Pages or Pages to Posts
One of my client's site want to change it's pages to posts, then he can categorize the posts, with category and tags, the posts made it easy to manage, especially when you have a lot posts. Today I will show you how to transfer your pages to posts or change your posts to pages in 2 ways.
1. Update your database.
Changing posts from pages is incredibly easy. All you have to do is run this short SQL query through PHPMyAdmin.
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_type = 'page' WHERE post_type = 'post'
As you can see from the above code, all content on WordPress is stored in one table, therefore you are simply changing the type of content from a post to a page. As you would expect, you can change content from pages to post in much the same way.
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_type = 'post' WHERE post_type = 'page'
The main limitation from using the above SQL command is that all pages would be converted into posts but would not have a category attached to them i.e. the post would be uncategorized.
2. Use WordPress Plugins.
Here is a great simple easy plugin which can help you change to posts to pages, or pages to posts, work with latest WordPress version, that's pTypeConverter.
With the help of pTypeConverter, you can converts post types from one to another easily, that means no matter you want to change post to page or page to post, this plugin can do for you. This free WordPress plugin pTypeConverter allows you to easily convert any post type of a certain post to another in an easy to use interface.

Brief Description:
Science geek Eddy Thomas can invent useful devices to do anything, except solve his bully problem. Eddy Thomas can read a college physics book, but he can't read the emotions on the faces of his classmates at Drayton Middle School. He can spend hours tinkering with an invention, but he can't stand more than a few minutes in a noisy crowd, like the crowd at the science fair, which Eddy fails to win. When the local school crossing guard is laid off, Eddy is haunted by thoughts of the potentially disastrous consequences and invents a traffic-calming device, using parts he has scavenged from discarded machines.

Song of Solomon (Song of Songs)
In Practice
Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) Perspectives From Faith Communities In Practice
Getting Biblical in Daily Life
Jewish Perspective
Love poetry during services? Yes, please.
Jewish writers over the centuries have had their way with the Song of Songs. The allegorical implications of the text—that it's about God and the Israelites—were actually created in a midrash. Midrash is a form of commentary and creative writing in which a writer (often a rabbi) would supplement details to a biblical story to make it more accessible.
Jewish messianists in the 16th century also used some text from Song of Songs (7:2) in composing Lecha Dodi, a messianic song about God and his bride that is sung in most synagogues today. And certain Jewish sects—particularly Sephardic Jews—still sing the Song of Songs while observing the Sabbath.
Who knew synagogue could be so romantic?
Christian Perspective
Jesus didn't seem to care too much about Song of Songs. You know how he's always throwing around quotes from the Old Testament? Song of Songs never makes it in there. But that doesn't mean biblical scholars haven't taken their hand at it. Many people read this book as an allegory for the love between Jesus and his followers.
Biblical scholarship might be millennia old, but Christians are still thinking about Song of Songs today. The late Pope John Paul II offered a new analysis of the Song in one of his speeches about the modern nature of marriage. This kind of modern analysis on such an old text is what keeps things interesting.

Schedule - Spring 2013
This page shows the videos (both at NCSU and at YouTube) which are needed to do the WebAssign homework in this class. The homework is accessed via the WebAssign link (near the top of this page). Once an assignment has appeared in your WebAssignments, WebAssign will show you the due date for the assignment. The way to stay on schedule in this class is to monitor your list of current WebAssignments regularly. There are no surprises. All assignments will appear in your current WebAssignments 10 day prior to the time they are due (except for a few at the beginning of the semester which are due before the semester is 10 days old.) All old (past due) assignments also remain visible within WebAssign. After the semester begins, you may find it easier to find the videos you're looking for by clicking the link (in the box to the right) to the part of the course that you're currently working on.
Important: All university correspondence to students uses students' NCSU e-mail addresses. So it is essential that you check your NCSU mail account. See the General Info page for more information. All your currently scheduled homework assignments are found at WebAssign once the semester begins, and class news is found at the News Page (for which there's a link at the top of every page in this website).
Part 1 -- Matrices
Videos for Section 1.1 WebAssignments
Videos for Section 1.2 WebAssignments
Videos for Section 1.3 WebAssignments
Videos for Section 1.4 WebAssignments
Videos for Section 1.5 WebAssignments
Additional Resources: Khan Academy has a vast collection of math related videos. The first 12 of the matrix videos at Khan Academy treat topics that overlap the ones included in MA 114. You are welcome to browse the videos at Khan Academy and use them for additional insight or review. Beyond the first 12 listed at Khan Academy, the remaining matrix videos cover topics that are not needed in MA 114.
Part 2 -- Linear Programming
Videos for Section 2.1-2.3 WebAssignments
Additional Resources: Most of Khan Academy's offerings on linear equations and inequalities are more introductory than you will need. However, the last eight of them give some examples and illustrations that you may find helpful. And if you're rusty on the basics of plotting points or graphing straight lines, some of the earlier videos in this collection may be useful to you. Feel free to browse.
Test on Parts 1 and 2: February 5 - 11 (See Test Info page)
Part 3 -- Simplex Method

Videos for Section 3.2 WebAssignments
Part 4 -- Sets and Counting
Video for Section 4.1 WebAssignments
Video for Section 4.2 WebAssignments
Video for Section 4.3 WebAssignments
Videos for Section 4.4-4.5 WebAssignments
Additional Resources: At Khan Academy, counting techniques (Part 4 of this course) and probability applications (Part 5 of this course) are all mixed up together. The only counting videos that don't include probability concepts seem to be one on permutations and one on combinations. However, a large number of illustrations of counting techniques appear in the Khan Academy videos mentioned in Part 5 below. So you'll get some good review of counting techniques if you consult those videos when you get to Part 5. [Note: The Khan Academy videos and most mathematical texts use a different notation for combinations and permutations from what you find in our own videos. What we denote by C(5,3), i.e. the number of combinations in which 3 objects can be chosen from 5 objects, is denoted in most texts by 5C3, and similarly P(5,3) is written generally as 5P3.]

Playing the NC Lottery's "Pick 4" game (1:14) (not on YouTube)
Additional Resources: Khan Academy has a vast collection of probability videos (about 55). Pretty much everything in the first 42 of these videos is related to this course. So this is a gold mine of additional examples and illustrations. Skip the ones from "Introduction to Random Variables" to "Term Life Insurance and Death Probability", but do watch the last video which features LeBron James.
Test on Part 5: April 10 - 16 (See Test Info page)
Part 6 -- Markov Chains
There's almost a month between Test #2 and Test #3. Make use of that time to get started on Part 6 before Test #3. If you do so, it will allow you to have a fairly leisurely week prior to the start of exams.
