Something holy which is potentially dangerous to anyone, rather than just being dangerous to evil.
"But He said, 'You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.'"Everyone knows it's a bad idea to mess around with evil. If you're foolish enough to poke a concentrated ball of malevolence, you've got no one but yourself to blame for the consequences. But surely we should expect goodness to be a bit more, well, user-friendly? A bit less liable to reduce you to a pile of ashes for looking at it crosswise? Don't count on it. Even when Light is Good, it can still be too hot to handle. Maybe holiness is judgment untempered by mercy, and only the most incorruptible people can come in contact with it and come away unscathed. Maybe it's really temperamental, and objects violently to being used for any but the most noble causes. Or maybe it's just that light burns, and enough holiness in one place is naturally dangerous to anyone, not only the wicked. In any event, you'll probably rest easier with some safe distance between yourself any anything really holy. This may be the logical extreme of White Magic. While Black Magic involves drawing power from others, and has a tendency to kill or corrupt anyone, White Magic generally helps others through self-sacrifice and purges evil. Think about the implications of this: if you aren't willing the make the sacrifice you get punished, while if you are worthy enough, you get sacrificed. Likewise, anyone helped by your sacrifice is likely to be saved or punished by its effects. Closely related to Holy Hand Grenade; the distinction is that this trope refers to holiness being inherently dangerous to Muggles, whereas Holy Hand Grenade is when holiness is weaponized. Sometimes manifests as Cast from Hit Points or Brown Note. See also Humans Are Flawed for a possible reason Holy Is Not Safe. Contrast Revive Kills Zombie, in which something beneficial to normal beings is harmful to unholy ones. The Evil Counterpart is Evil Is Not a Toy.

Acne's glitter sole wedges go on sale
Ever since we published a gallery featuring Acne's ground-breaking footwear collection for spring summer 2013, we've had enquiries about the super-chunky 'taurus' loafers pictured above. With their classical patent uppers and huge, jelly-like glitter soles, they're the perfect fusion of on-trend styles for the coming season - and they could give almost any outfit an edge.
Priced at £410, the shoes have just landed in at Net-a-Porter, where they appear alongside the label's iconic 'pistol' western boots and clothing collection. I'm sorely tempted to treat myself to a pair of these bold and statement-making shoes, which will transcend seasons and those soles are sure to withstand a fair bit of wear and tear!
A grown-up answer to jelly shoes, they're a real wardrobe asset for the style-savvy.

Re: Grateful Grass#116794 2 years, 9 months agoAlso I wanted to add that Grateful Grass is Keller Williams, Jeff Austin ( from Yonder Mountain String Band) and Keith Mosley (from the String Cheese Incident.) They aren't a band all the time. I Believe they only got together this one time for a benefit for the Rex Foundation. And all purchases of the show go to Rex Foundation.
Keller Williams himself is a solo act. But he's played with a few other acts. Keller and the Keels which is bluegrass. WMDs I think was his best project. Him, Keith Mosley, Jeff Sipe and Gibb Droll. Check them out they rock!
Ok I'll stop rambling....Dreams are lies...it's the dreaming that's real!!!!

Psychiatrists Donald Fidler, M.D., Ruth Levine, M.D., and Ronald Rieder, M.D., are the "master teachers" selected for the Master Educator Clinical Consultation (MECC) series at APA's 2001 annual meeting in New Orleans.
The MECC sessions are designed for attendees to have an "up close and personal" interaction with master educators. Limited to only 30 participants, the sessions give the audience an opportunity to ask questions about teaching techniques in a more intimate format.
The master educators were selected after APA's Council on Medical Education and Career Development asked for nominations for an outstanding medical educator from each of three allied academic organizations: the Association of Directors of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry, the Association for Academic Psychiatry, and the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training.
Ruth Levine, M.D., who was selected by the Association of Directors of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry, will speak on "Using Cinema to Enhance the Teaching of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences." She is an associate professor and director of medical student education in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Tex. Those who attend her session on Monday, May 7, at 11 a.m. will have the chance to learn how media can perpetuate the stigma of mental illness. Attendees will also learn how to use film clips to teach the mental status exam, illustrate psychopathology, and serve as a springboard for discussion of such topics as the doctor-patient relationship, forensic issues, interpersonal dynamics, and psychotherapy.
The Association for Academic Psychiatry selected Donald Fidler, M.D., a professor of psychiatry and an instructor in theater at West Virginia University. On Tuesday, May 8, at 9 a.m. he will demonstrate examples of the many methods in teaching psychiatry through "topic-centered learning." Fidler will discuss the importance of putting the topic before all other concerns and engaging students and teachers in exploring and learning "truths" about topics and about their own thinking as they make clinical decisions.
One of Fidler's educational interests is the combining of theater, film, and video with medical education. He teaches advanced acting to the undergraduate and graduate students in the university's theater department. He has written several plays, including "Voices in the Woods," which played to sold-out audiences in Los Angeles. Fidler is also the director of West Virginia University's Health Sciences Teaching Scholars Program, which he helped to initiate and develop with faculty from the schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, and pharmacy. He has won several teaching awards, including APA's Nancy C.A. Roeske, M.D., Certificate of Recognition for Excellence in Medical Student Education.
Ronald O. Rieder, M.D., is director of residency education and vice chair for education in the department of psychiatry of Columbia University. He was nominated by the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training. Rieder spent eight years in the Intramural Research Program of the National Institute of Mental Health conducting research on schizophrenia. He came to Columbia in 1979 to direct the residency program. In 1998 Rieder received the department of psychiatry's Medical Student Teaching Award for his lectures on schizophrenia. He also oversees postresidency fellowship training at Columbia and is responsible for the administration of two postresidency NIMH-supported research training programs.
Rieder will speak on Wednesday, May 9, at 11 a.m. on "Teaching Psychopathology to Medical Students." He will present segments of the two lectures on schizophrenia he gives to first-year medical students in a course on psychiatric disorders. The first lecture introduces students to the phenomenology of the illness, and the second describes research data and theories of etiology and pathogenesis, illustrating the illness with a video of a patient with whom he has worked. He will also compare letters the patient wrote while sane with those written while psychotic. The lecture enables students to appreciate this illness from the inside—the fear, confusion, misperceptions, anxiety, and sadness. The second lecture he will demonstrate focuses on the "myth of mental illness" proposals of Thomas Szasz, M.D., and relevant biological data such as brain-imaging findings. Rieder will discuss these and other methods of getting students who have not yet had direct clinical experiences and are skeptical of the concept of psychiatric illness excited about psychiatry and interested in learning more about psychiatric illness.
The locations for all three sessions will be published in the program book distributed at registration. ▪

Three bank robbery suspects were arrested in central Mississauga Tuesday night just as they were allegedly preparing to commit a "violent" robbery of an armoured truck filled with cash, police have revealed.
A Brampton man, his brother and a Mississauga man were arrested and police seized three loaded guns— including an assault rifle containing 30 rounds— body armor, black balaclavas and gloves.
Police officers had the trio under surveillance, part of a joint forces investigation called Project Early-Bird. The men were suspects in four take-over style TD Canada Trust robberies that occurred in Mississauga, Toronto, Hamilton and Oakville within the span of a year.
The first was in September 2011, the last in November 2012.
Police say as they followed the suspects they saw behaviour that made it apparent to investigators that they were training or practicing to rob an armoured vehicle, but officers had no idea when it would happen.
Then, Tuesday night, "they were seen setting up to overtake an armoured vehicle," said Peel Regional Police Insp. Colleen Fawcett.
The vehicle was diverted "to a place of safety", she said at a press conference this afternoon.
The guns seized at the scene were a loaded .45 calibre pistol, a .38 calibre revolver, and a loaded Ruger 223 assault rifle.
Ammunition seized included the type capable of piercing body armour, according to investigators.
Three search warrants at the suspects' homes netted police more than $100,000 in cash. Even more than that had been stolen in the four robberies, Fawcett said, although she would not say how much was taken.
A $100,000 reward was offered by the Canadian Bankers Association last November for information after the robberies were linked and a joint forces project was formed involving Peel, Halton, Toronto, Hamilton and Waterloo police.
But it was good old fashioned police work that lead to the arrests, Fawcett said.
Bank employees were approached as they opened for business in the mornings, and were forced into the bank vaults in the four holdups.
The take-over style robberies happened very quickly, Fawcett said, and no one was injured.
Representatives from the Canadian Bankers Association and Garda Global praised police during the news conference today for their hard work.
Nasser Abdoulkader, 21. of Brampton has not been charged with any of the bank robberies, but faces 19 charges including attempt/accessory to an indictable offence in relation to the armored vehicle and various weapons offences.
His brother, Jabourou Abdoulkader, 26, of Toronto and Daniel Antwi, 27, of Mississauga are each charged with robbery, forcible confinement and weapons charges totaling 35 offences.
Police say no one was injured in any of the robberies.

VALPARAISO | Just because the Porter County Council now has to approve the Valparaiso Community Schools budget, the City Council is not ready to back the movement for an elected rather than appointed school board.
Councilman Michael Baird, the council's liaison to the schools, asked at last week's council meeting if the new legislation giving the county final say over the School Board's spending meant it was time to consider such a change.
Those who responded said it was premature and also said they weren't happy with the legislation.
"It angers me," Councilman Joey Larr said of the two-sentence change in the 30-page law affecting only appointed school boards and not other appointed boards, such as libraries. "Just because the County Council has the duty now, it should not affect whether we have an elected board. I fully support an appointed board."
Blaming much of the discussion, media coverage of the debate and the ongoing petition drive to switch to an elected board on election year rhetoric, Larr said he doesn't think those seeking a change will get the support needed.
"I think the system we have works fine and keeps the politics out of it," he said.
Council member Deb Butterfield agreed.
"I don't think the County Council's review of the budget has any bearing on whether the board should be elected," she said.
Butterfield was one of those who said during the last election that she would support the change to an elected board if that's what residents want, she said. However, she thinks it is premature to discuss the issue or express opinions on it because it could have an impact on the public perception, she said.
"We have well-intentioned people on the board, and they are on a better course than they were three or four months ago," she said. "We should continue to look for ways to strengthen the accountability between the board and the council and back to the citizens while we are on the right track, rather than when a crisis occurs."
Councilman Jan Dick said, "We don't need a knee-jerk reaction. We have an exemplary School Board, and we don't need to change."

|City to assist with $250,000 grant for renovations to Sandtown School
|Written by News Desk
|Friday, 27 June 2014 14:04
(L-R) Councilwoman Joyce Loyd, Millbrook Mayor Al Kelley and Millbrook Community Improvement Agency (CIA) President Maurice Mayes. The City of Millbrook recently resolved to act as a conduit for a $250,000 grant from the Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Corporation (CARPDC) to the Millbrook CIA. The money will be used to renovate the Sandtown School property, which Millbrook CIA currently uses for youth and senior programs.

By early 2015 the Millbrook Communities Improvement Association (CIA) could recieve $250,000 to make rennovations and additions to the Sandtown School on Sandtown Road in Millbrook. Millbrook CIA in conjunction with the Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Corporation (CARPDC) plans to apply for the grant later this summer. In the meantime Councilwoman Joyce Loyd, an active supporter of the Millbrook CIA has worked with the group and with CARPDC in preparation for the grant application.
The grant requires a 10% local match. Millbrook CIA approached the Millbrook City Council and Elmore County Commission for help with the local match. The City of Millbrook and Elmore County will contribute $10,000 each and Millbrook CIA will contribute $5,000 to cover the $25,000 local match.
"The grant opportunity was well received by the city council. I believe we all want to see the area around the school develop in a positive direction," Loyd said.
Loyd said she feels the restoration of the 'Old Sandtown School' is important because the property has become an asset to Millbrook and Ward 1 specifically. The Millbrook Communities Improvement Association (CIA) operates the Kid's Journey Program and a Senior Program out of the building. Loyd says they recently began to offer piano lessons and wish to expand the arts and other programs offered Millbrook CIA at the school. A teen outreach program called Teen Board is another program at Millbrook CIA, and one in which Loyd is particularly interested. Teen Board, she says, promotes youth leadership in the community.
Millbrook CIA President Maurice Mays says he is pleased to have the city council and county commission support them on this project.
Mays says the Millbrook CIA will continue to call on the community for support of this project. He says cash donations are certainly welcome, donations of in kind service and donations by volunteers will be needed to help make the program and the surrounding community to thrive.
The next step of completing this grant application is a survey which has to be completed by residents living within a certain radius of the school. The Millbrook CIA is out actively in the community with the support of Mayor Kelly to complete this survey process before July.
The grant application will be submitted in July. The decision on the grant will be announced in the Fall with funds arriving in early 2015 if the grant is approved.

The electric power system has been getting smarter for decades, as new technologies allow better analysis and greater control. But most utilities have implemented these technologies in a piecemeal...
Technology Corridor
tag of around $30,000 each, only a limited number can be deployed economically. And that means data which could help operators see that a transformer is on the verge of going down simply isn't available right now. As Gellings says, such gas sensors "need to be about $2,000" each, so that enough can be placed throughout the distribution and transmission system to get at that data, and so allow operators to avoid or limit an outage.
There are some utilities that have already heeded the call for a smarter, more pro-active T&D system. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is often held up as an example for others to emulate.
In the early 1990s, BPA started working with EPRI on a joint collaboration to improve the utility's ability to monitor its vast, far-flung grid that boasts 15,000 miles of power lines spread over 11 states. That project grew into what is known today as WAMS, for Wide Area Measurement System.
WAMS uses a combination of Global Positioning System satellites, portable power system monitors and phaser measurement units to take measurements 30 times per second. The more frequent readings give BPA operators a leg up in isolating disturbances and repairing outages-particularly because it is much easier with WAMS to determine the precise order of events during a disturbance.
Another utility that has made heavy investments in monitoring equipment is Con Edison. According to Ted Maffetone, department manager, distribution engineering, Con Edison's system is "as close to real time as we can get at this point."
One of the distinctive characteristics of Con Edison's network is its use of power line carrier (PLC) communications to aid in collecting monitoring data. Using PLC technology allowed the company to keep the cost of system communications down. "If we tried to do it with telephone lines, it would be very costly," Maffetone explains.
Right now, about 90 percent of Con Edison's 200-plus substations are automated with remote control features, Maffetone says. The company plans on equipping the remainder of its substations by the end of the year.
Con Edison started its automated monitoring project in the 1970s. Maffetone cites two main drivers for doing so: reducing outage times, and reducing labor costs to repair outages.
And the company has largely succeeded in meeting those goals, Maffetone says. "It does save time, and that's money," he observes. The automation project has also given ConEdison some impressive bragging rights: "We're the most reliable system in the country, possibly in the world," Maffetone maintains.
Yet despite the availability of sensor equipment, deploying large quantities of it won't solve or head off problems like the Northeast blackout, or less severe outages. "You need to be able to take the data and do something with it," Gellings says.
Indeed, Maffetone says that data management and storage is one of the biggest challenges to creating a smart distribution system, in particular. "The biggest gap is in computer displays and visualization of data," he says.
Good data visualization, Maffetone says, is one of the most important aspects of the smart grid that CEIDS is working

The world's largest technology services company has been working to expand into new areas as its hardware business falters, but the latest results show that these efforts have yet to fully pay off.

The Highly Sensitive Person's Survival Guide: Essential Skills for Living Well in an Overstimulating World (Step-By-Step Guides)by Ted Zeff
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Highly sensitive people (HSPs), who make up some 20 percent of the population, are individuals who both enjoy and suffer from a finely tuned neurological system. This condition can be a gift, but, until HSPs master their sensitive nervous systems, they operate in a constant state of overstimulation. Conditions that most of us ignore completely overwhelm the HSP: bright light, loud sounds, and strong smells. More importantly, HSPs are also very sensitive to their internal worlds. They tend to be deeply affected by pain, both emotional and physical. The emotional demands of relationships and inevitable consequences of change often leave them reeling.
If you're a HSP, the most important thing you must learn is how to manage your increased volume of sensory experience, both physical and emotional stimulation. This accessible, practical guide contains strategies that help you master this critical skill. The book starts with a brief description of the highly sensitive person, and then offers a self-examination quiz, which allows you to assess whether you are highly sensitive. Then the book outlines coping techniques specific to the plight of the HSP. Youíll learn tips for reducing the influence of provocative sensory experiences, such as excessive light and noise in the home and office. Meditation and relaxation techniques help you to reduce the anxiety caused by heightened sensitivity. Easy-to-follow exercises guide you through the challenges of communicating and interacting with others in both social and intimate relationships.
Ted Zeff, a psychologist who specializes in treating highly sensitive people, provides the first, easy-to-use survival guide offering immediate, practical, day-to-day coping skills for highly sensitive people. The book offers strategies for dealing with sensory and emotional overload, communicating effectively with nonHSP partners, developing ways to block stress triggers at work, and much more.
If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), you're in good company. HSP's make up some 20 percent of the population, individuals like you who both enjoy and wrestle with a finely tuned nervous system. You often sense things that others ignore such as strong smells, bright lights, and the crush of crowds. Even the presence of strangers in your immediate vicinity can cause you considerable distraction. You already know that this condition can be a gift, but, until you learn to master your sensitive nervous system, you might be operating in a constant state of overstimulation.
As an HSP, the most important thing you can learn is how to manage your increased sensitivity to both physical and emotional stimulation. This accessible, practical guide contains strategies to help you master this critical skill. Build your coping skills by exploring the books engaging exercises. Then, keep the book by your side, a constant companion as you make your way through your vibrant and highly stimulating world.
Ted Zeff, a psychologist who specializes in treating highly sensitive people, provides practical strategies for dealing with sensory and emotional overload, communicating effectively with non HSP partners, and developing ways to block stress triggers at work.

ied secondary waste materials including halogenated waste is still required. These changes and improvements may require several iterations before satisfactory results are achieved.
Recommendation 6-4. A test plan should be prepared for all design changes identified for the MPT but not verified in the TRRP tests. This test plan should be conducted at the fabrication facility and should include time for the repeated trials needed to arrive at acceptable performance for the overall full-scale MPT. A similar test plan should be prepared for testing the integrated full-scale off-gas treatment system for the MPT at BGCAPP. This test plan should include the testing of a full range of secondary, energetics batch hydrolyzer, and closure waste at the full-scale design rates.

|Simon Ludgate
Launches November 21, 2013, according to Ars Technica's liveblog.
(which is a day earlier than the November 22 launch for the 360!)
|Joe Zachery
That's why both Microsoft, and Sony are still going to push their old consoles. They need to make money some how. These new consoles are not going to fly off the shelves.
|Alexander Ageno
Well, I'm not biting at that price...
I'm stuck with my old consoles. I suppose that's not a bad thing, considering I haven't even began to play games like Skyrim and Dark Souls yet.
|TC Weidner
I agree Joe, 500 bucks has a sort of " how much?!?" factor to it.
To me, the xbone just didnt look next gen, I think hardware and graphics has hit the diminishing returns point. Unless ps4 blows me away, I think the console market may see a large downturn.
|Lars Doucet
Remember folks, this thing will cost $679 to own for a year. And even more in non-US regions.
|Doug Poston
Is it true that the games will be $99?
That, more than the console price, might be the killer.
|Patrick Haslow
C'mon man.
'Price point' isn't a real word in this case. 'PRICE' will do.
|Adam Bishop
I'm not that surprised by the price, but I am surprised they didn't announce a cell-phone style subsidy/subscription plan as was widely speculated.
|Mike Wasilewski
considering that the old kinect is still $99, its not such an outrageous deal.
|Dane MacMahon
I'm not the target market for this thing, but the only games that excited me will be on other platforms (namely Witcher 3). That's not good, right?
And that price... I don't think that's a good idea. I bet there is a frantic discussion going on at Sony right now about coming out $100 lower tonight.
|George Menhal III
In my opinion, anyone who buys this system at launch is the purest definition of a sucker.
Unless, of course, they plan on watching tons of live TV.
|John Gordon
The PS3 launched at $499 for their low end version, and there was no recession at that time. I don't expect the Xbox One to sell well at all.
|Kale Menges
$499 is really starting to sound like the 3DO back in the day, or the Neo Geo with its $300 cartridges. Makes it a lot easier to justify the $800 for a new top tier iPad with much more attractive game prices and bang-for-your-buck experiences and product versatility. You can also build a pretty decent PC gaming rig at that price. With all the non-gaming features Microsoft is hell-bent on implementing in their "game console", along with the price and same-old-song software lineup, it's just really starting to feel like Microsoft has lost touch with a large percentage of their existing user base. Makes me nervous about the future of console gaming...
|Michael Wenk
Well, I'm definitely not going to get one at launch, will wait for the price to calm down to what I want to pay. In the mean time, I'll enjoy my 5-10$ games on my iPad, or my AAA titles on my PC. I seriously wonder if Sony's gonna try to beat down MS on price. As I recall, that was the main reason MS came in second during the last gen launch, and the PS3 came in third, the fact that the PS3 was at the premium.
I realize MS seems to think the set box experience is the value add, but I can't see it being so. Those that want that are likely to get a Roku or something like that. Sure there is some overlap, but its not enough to bring a premium.
|Sean Kiley
Early adopters will pay, then they drop the price next year.
|Bob Johnson
Gamer ground hog saw its shadow. 2 more years of 360.
|Mike Griffin
Base price, $499.
The Kinect 2 hardware makes up about $80-100 of that.
But there's important cost in there for out-of-the-box cross-functionality with key TV service providers, globally, to enable compatibility with the providers' "proprietary" guide overlays and program encoding.
This also has to cover the associated licensing fees, including permission to use Xbox One features to "modify" the behavior of said TV services' interface -- via Xbox One video controls, Kinect voice or gesture commands, and any other features applied to a piggybacked provider's broadcast.
Whether you want any of those features or not, that heavy media/TV focus means you're paying for it from day one when buying the console -- including at the base unit price.
This can stand out as one of the Xbox One's price factors, and it's emblematic of Microsoft's general M.O. this round: pushing TV and services hard in a bid to establish a catch-all media machine buyer/subscriber super hub.
This begs the question: Where does Sony take a big hit in its bid to offer an alluring price for PS4?
The company already has a very well established foothold in mass media, with enormous "in-house" resources in the music, film and TV industries. Minus the heavy TV component, Sony likely doesn't have to deal with the licensing hurdles that await Microsoft in its ongoing crusade to become a major force in digital media services.
So then, we're probably looking at Sony taking the hit on hardware?
While the Kinect 2 is a formidable chipset to pack-in, does it stack up to the production costs involved with delivering 8Gb of high quality GDDR5 memory in the PS4, along with a more powerful GPU? That doesn't come cheap, even with the assistance of carefully projected multi-year deals with its memory provider and AMD/ATI.
That late stage decision to bump the PS4's overall memory system and compute power will come with some manufacturing baggage.
While it's apples to oranges, consider top line PC graphics cards equipped with 4Gb of GDDR5 are fetching $700.
In other words, it wouldn't surprise me to see Sony forced into their own, equivalent $499 price.
The ultimate reactionary trump card will be to slash the PS4's base unit price to $399 and take the hit, shipping alongside $499 (and perhaps even $599) packages containing larger HDDs and/or pack-ins.
I could see it happening.
In any case, I'd probably find myself leaning towards a PS4 if I had to drop five hundred clams on the table, versus an Xbox One. This may be the case with consumers as well. This time around a powerful-seeming PlayStation game console might appear less confusing than Microsoft's messaging and models for the Xbox One.
|Kujel s
This maybe a little off topic but if sony doesn't release a price for their machine this E3 we can almost guarantee it's higher then $499, my guess is either $549 or $599 but not less then the x1.

Disability and nondisability are also constructed through the language used to describe people. When someone who cannot see is labeled a "blind person," for example, it creates the impression that not being able to see sums up the entire person. In other words, blind becomes what they are. The same thing happens when people are described as "brain damaged" or "crippled" or "retarded" or "deaf"— the person becomes the disability and nothing more. Reducing people to a single dimension of who they are separates and excludes them, marks them as "other," as different from "normal" (white, heterosexual, male, nondisabled) people and therefore as inferior. The effect is compounded by portraying people with disabilities as helpless victims who are "confined" or "stricken" or "suffering from" some "affliction" and then lumping them into an undifferentiated class— the blind, the crippled, the retarded, the deaf, the disabled.
