April 23, 2013
FTR Associates' Shippers Conditions Index for February fell over two points following a similar decline in January. The current reading of -9.5 reflects an expectation for increasingly difficult conditions for shippers as 2013 progresses, which is good news for trucking companies.
The SCI is forecast to be choppy over the next few months with further deterioration occurring in the second half of the year. The introduction of the new hours-of-service rule in July will be the next step in what is expected to be the largest wave of trucking safety regulations in history.
A cumulative effect of these regulations will be a reduction in driver productivity, resulting in a substantial tightening of already tight truck capacity. FTR continues to predict rate acceleration which will increase shipping costs as the effects of HOS play out.
The Shippers Conditions Index is a compilation of factors affecting shippers transport environment. Any reading below zero indicates a less-than-ideal environment for shippers. Readings below 10 signal that conditions for shippers are approaching critical levels, based on available capacity and expected rates. Lawrence Gross, senior consultant for FTR commented: "Although substantial uncertainty exists with regard to the near-term path of the economy, shippers need to be prepared for a difficult second half of the year. If the current path of slow economic growth remains intact and the courts do not delay the implementation of the new hours-of-service framework (a development we view as increasingly unlikely), then the stage will be set for a significant tightening of truck capacity, resulting in reduced service levels and higher rates.
"While the situation is similar in some respects to the last such occurrence in 2004, there is one important difference. While 2004 was a relatively short-term blip, we believe that 2013 will be the door-opener for a prolonged period of difficulties that could last several years".

Bags and Boards
- Written by 365Dom on Tuesday, March 29 2011 and posted in Features
For many of us, bagging and boarding our comic books is nothing more than a habit. How important is it? Plus, are we over valuing the physical comic book and under valuing the comic book's content or mental impression?
This post should begin with some facts.
- I am a comic book collector.
- I bag and board all of my comic books.
My cousin was the coolest person I knew when I was young. He also owned many comic books, so by putting two and two together I understood that the more comics one owned, the cooler they became. By that logic I am now way cooler than my cousin ever was...and he knew karate!
I still bag and board my comics, but recently I have started to question why I continue to do so.
I tell myself, and others when they ask about what I will do with my collection in the future or why I collect, that I will give my vast collection to my children. (Hopefully a son...let's be honest...who really wants a daughter? Dumpster baby!) My child can then sell the collection, and use the profits for college, a car or a rare special addition Pog Slammer (they're coming back...you heard it here first). They can do with the collection as they please. Taunted by friends, the question comes-up: What if your kid shreds all of the comics in front of you? As hard as it will be...I would allow it. Don't get me wrong, the next day I will most likely go to prison forever for shredding my child; but again, the collection will no longer be mine. So like...whatevs!
So if I can just give up a collection which I cared for as if I was Filburt Turtle from Rocko's Modern Life ("Turn the page, wash your hands."), why would I even care to bag and board my comics now?
Value is in the Eye of the CollectorClearly bags and boards are necessary in making sure a comic book doesn't get liquid on it and maintains it's wrinkle free flat shape. The better condition a comic book is in, the more a buyer will pay for it. It's like trading in "Diablo 2." Players will trade a lot more for a perfect item than for a lower level one of the same type. Gotta get that perfect HOTO!
Companies have been created with their primary function being grading comic books. The most popular comic book grading company these days, Certified Guarantee Company, or CGC, allows collectors to send in their books to be reviewed by "professionals" who then seal your book in a hard plastic casing with an identification number and a quality grade (the highest grade being a 10.0...which is pretty much impossible). You have an officially graded comic book, but you can never read it again. To an extent, this seems ridiculous.
When a person collects a car, like Jay Leno (bastard...go Coco!), that person can still use (drive) his collection. If a person collects sports memorabilia, such as a baseball, football or glove, they can no longer use the object for it's function; however, they can still see the object in it's entirety. If a person collects baseball cards, which are more closely related to comic book collection, one can still put them in a case and view everything the card has printed on it. A comic book, in a sealed case, limits the collector's ability to see the whole comic book. All the collector can see are the front and back covers. There are a ton of readable and viewable pages that will never be seen again! That's kind of sad.
Too Cool to CollectSome comic book readers do not collect anymore. Some may have never collected. I have found that writers and artists in the industry, who may or may not be given free comic books, tend to not care about the bagging and boarding of books anymore. This could be a result of the level of availability of comic books to them. It may be that they just have no patience in regards to waiting many years for a comic book's value to rise. Maybe the creators are simply too close to the content. To hard working creators, it is always about the next story being told. It's like in Football when teams are drafting players or signing them, the value is in the potential of the next thing, not the last. A true creator wants to be known for their next work. Great examples of creators who are always about the next project are Alan Moore and James Jean.
Never ask Alan Moore about Watchmen...or his beard.
Comic book value seems to be subjective, and the factors seem to be how close you are to the product's creation. Value, other than the experience one has reading a comic book, is a new concept. Years ago publishers and artists would simply throw away old comics and old comic book art because it was seen as no longer necessary to the future. It really wasn't...maybe only for documentation purposes, but that's it.
Maybe being comic book cool is not about having more comic books, as I once thought as a young boy. Maybe being comic book cool is about knowing where the value is: the experience we had and emotions we felt when first reading the comic book.
So...Am I Gonna Continue to Bag and Board?Hell yeah! I don't have some cushy six figure job. This is basically my future child's 401k.
His (please not her's) 401c.
Has anyone stopped bagging and boarding their comic books? Let us know why you no longer bag and board, or why you would never stop.

Pack your own picnic for the lake, bring some photos from when you were a kid or of a recent vacation, to keep the conversation rolling. Head to the movies, then take a walk under the stars.
Cook for her on a subsequent date, and explain the ingredients as you go so she understands what is different (or not so different depending on the recipe).
Most importantly, be yourself, be open, be a good listener, be a good sharer about yourself. Make eye contact, smile, be friendly. Be interested in her abd be present in the moment.

When former Boston Bruins' netminder Tim Thomas decided to sit out the 2012-13 season, many wondered what the team's goaltending was going to provide moving forward.
Yes, everyone knew that Tuukka Rask was a good netminder who had success as a starter during the 2009-10 season and was an above average back-up the next two seasons. With that said, no one quite knew how he was going to play without Thomas pushing him.
Last season, Rask proved that he was a more than capable number one goaltender and that when given an opportunity to do so, could be an elite one. In leading his team to within one win of their second Stanley Cup in three years, Rask went 19-10-5 with a 2.00 goals against average, a .929 save percentage and five shutouts.
The 26-year-old Finnish masked man was even better in the postseason. Rask went 14-8 with a 1.88 goals against average, a .940 save percentage and three shutouts in coming two wins away from his first Cup.
When a goaltender plays that well in a season, expectations are raised and the general thought is that the particular netminder can do it every year. It appears that so far this season, Rask is showing that he is the real deal.
In 19 games this season, Rask is 12-5-2 with a 1.62 goals against average (third in the league), a .945 save percentage (first in the league), and 2 shutouts (second in the league). It is safe to say that Rask has been the team's best player so far.
Rask proved that in his team's 2-1 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. Rask made 43 saves and made some big-time saves to not only preserve the one-goal lead, but to keep his team in the game as the team was badly outshot by the Blueshirts.
Rask's strong play between the pipes have the Bruins at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. His play also has them four points behind the league-leading Chicago Blackhawks.
With the way Rask is playing right now, it is also not hard to imagine him continuing his strong play and being a Vezina Trophy finalist at the end of the season. Rask at or near the top of the league when it comes to goaltending statistics and one could assume that he will continue to play a lot of games moving forward.
There may be a lot of hockey left to be played this season but with Rask on top of his game, the Bruins are in a good position as they start getting into the meat of the NHL season.

Path to Miracle: Goes Through Uncomfortable Territory
"Then the LORD spoke his word to Elijah, 'Go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I have commanded a widow there to take care of you.' So Elijah went to Zarephath." (1 Kings 17:8-10a NCV)
When you're scared to death and vulnerable, you don't know where you're going, you don't know how long it's going to take, and you don't know what's going to happen when you get there, what do you do?
You remember that the path to a miracle is always through uncomfortable territory.
The Bible gives an illustration in 1 Kings 17:8-10: "Then the LORD spoke his word to Elijah, 'Go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I have commanded a widow there to take care of you.' So Elijah went to Zarephath" (NCV).
God told Elijah to walk more than 100 miles during a drought through dangerous territory, where everyone knew who he was, and everyone knew King Ahab had a price on Elijah's head. When Elijah finally made it to Zarephath, he met a poor widow who was going to feed him, but how could she help defend or protect him from a pagan town full of people who wouldn't hesitate to kill him?
Miracles don't happen when things are comfortable. Miracles happen when things are uncomfortable. Elijah didn't say, "God, there are three things wrong with this plan. One, you're sending me in the wrong direction. Two, you're sending me to the wrong location. And three, you're sending me to the wrong protection."
Elijah just obeyed.
The path to a miracle is always through uncomfortable territory.
For instance —
When Moses led the Israelites out of slavery to the Promised Land, they had to go through the Red Sea first.
Before David could slay Goliath, he had to walk onto the battlefield.
God told Jehoshaphat to put the choir before the army, and he'd win the victory. How much faith do you think that took?
Miracles never happen in your comfort zone, when everything's great and convenient. You don't need a miracle when everything is settled in your life. You only need a miracle when you're on the edge, when you're scared to death, when you're insecure, when you can get hit at any angle.
Are you at a place right now in your life where things are a little uncomfortable — financially, emotionally, relationally, or physically? You're a little nervous, a little on the edge, a little insecure. Congratulations. You're on the path to a miracle!
Just like Elijah, God wants you to obey, so you can see his miracle at the end of the road.
Talk It Over
What is God asking you to do that makes you uncomfortable?
What do you want God to do in your life? How have you expressed your anticipation of his miracle in your life?
Who are the people who can encourage you on the uncomfortable road you may be walking right now?
Don't Let Pride Be Your Guide
by Rick Warren
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." (Philippians 2:3 NIV)
Every conflict that you go through in a relationship has an element of pride mixed into it. What is the middle letter of the word "pride"? I. What's the middle letter of the word "crime"? I. What's the middle letter of the word "sin"? I.
We have an "I" problem! "I" want what "I" want and "I" want it now, and that causes all kinds of problems. In any relationship, never let pride be your guide, because pride is the root of every other sin.
The Bible says in Philippians 2:3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves" (NIV). Paul says that there are two conflict-creating kinds of pride. One of them is selfish ambition and the other is vain conceit. Selfish ambition says, "It's all about me" and vain conceit means, "I'm always right."
Selfish ambition causes all kinds of problems. James 3:16 says, "Where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice." When you find confusion at your workplace, your church, your home, in your marriage, and even in the government, you can know that selfish ambition and jealousy are causing it.
Vain conceit is the attitude that you are always right. The Living Bible translation of Philippians 2:3 says, "Don't live to make a good impression on others." We do this in every area of our lives, but especially on social media. It's a great temptation to make yourself look better on the Internet than you are.
In Galatians, Paul lists about 17 effects of living with pride. He says when we live a self-centered life, it shows up in all kinds of ways. He starts off by saying things like self-indulgence shows up in sexual immorality and wild partying and getting drunk. You would expect those things.
But most of the things on the list are actually relational sins. Galatians 5:19-21 says, "When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear … quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy…. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God" (NLT).
If you want to be happy in your relationships, you've got to have harmony. And if you're going to have harmony, you've got to have humility. Never let pride be your guide.
Talk It Over
How would you describe the basis of your relationships? Are you in the relationship to serve yourself or others?
What are practical ways you can maintain humility in a relationship?
How have you seen pride destroy relationships? What can you do today to help restore those connections?
Cure for Procrastination
The Bible gives us five actions we can take to stop procrastinating.
Stop making excuses — What have you been saying you're going to do — one of these days? Things will never settle down. You must make a choice to priorities what is important.
Start today — Not next month, next week, or tomorrow. I want you to write down three things you know God wants you to do. Choose one of those three and decide to start today.
Establish a planned schedule — If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail. You need to designate some specific time slots each week for the things you need to do.
Face your fears — We hate to admit we have fears because we think they are a sign of weakness. But fear is a sign of humanity. Only fools are not afraid.
Focus on what you gain, not the pain — There are very few things in life that are easy. You must push through the frustration and look at the gain beyond the pain.
Don't ask, "What do I feel like doing?" Instead ask, "What does God want me to do?"
Jesus never said life would be easy. There will be sacrifice and commitment. But there is tremendous reward when we do the things he calls us to do.
The Cost of Procrastination
When you procrastinate you're saying one of two things to yourself, "It's easier to avoid this than to face it" and that's wrong. The other one is "It will be easier to handle this tomorrow (or later)" and that's wrong too.
The Bible tells us that there is a cost to procrastination.
Procrastination causes problems — Procrastination takes a problem and makes it a crisis. The longer you wait to start, the harder it is to begin.
Procrastination wastes opportunities - "If you won't plow in the cold, you won't eat at harvest." (Proverbs 20:4 LB) When opportunity knocks, open the door! Take the advantage while you've got it. If you don't, you'll miss it.
Procrastination hurts people — Laziness prevents us from being loving. Love requires commitment, energy, and work. A lot of people just don't want to work at being loving; it's easier to be lazy. Many marriages break up because one spouse — perhaps both spouses - are unwilling to make the effort necessary to save the marriage.
Prayerfully consider the price you may be paying for procrastination.
Why Do I Procrastinate?
The Bible says you procrastinate for one of five reasons.
Indecision. "A double minded man is unstable in all he does." (James 1:8 LB) Indecision causes you to postpone buying a car, choosing a college, getting married, buying new clothes, changing a job.
Perfectionism. "If you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get anything done!" (Ecclesiastes 11:4 LB) If you wait for things to be perfect, you're going to wait a long time.
Fear. "The fear of man is a trap." (Proverbs 29:25 LB) Have you been postponing going to the dentist? Or getting into marriage counseling? Ask yourself, "What am I afraid of?"
Anger. "A lazy person is as bad as someone who is destructive." (Proverbs 18:9 GNT) Procrastination is passive resistance. I don't want to do it because I don't like you telling me to do what I have to do. Anger causes us to put things off.
Laziness. "Lazy people want much but get little, while the diligent are prospering." (Proverbs 13:4 LB) One of the most popular words in America is "easy." If it's easy, we like it. If it's hard, we don't like it.
The next time you find yourself procrastinating, stop and ask yourself why. Then ask God to help you overcome it so you can move forward and do what you need to do.

Guys who score touchdowns and pop long gains get all the love on offense but anyone who knows football understands it all starts up from. Without effective blocking from the offensive line it takes a near superhuman effort to score points at all. That is the quandary the Green Bay Packers face. Could they avert their looming disaster by signing Jammal Brown in NFL free agency?
Bryan Bulaga loss leaves Aaron Rodgers exposed on both ends
There wasn't a lot to celebrate about the Green Bay Packers offensive line in 2012. Though the team still won 11 games and the NFC North division title, it didn't erase the fact they let an All-Pro quarterback in Aaron Rodgers get sacked 51 times. For an idea of how egregious that stat is, fellow All-Pro Tom Brady went down a total of 27 times. Rodgers has the good fortune of being younger and more durable but he isn't bulletproof and can't be expected to take punishment like that every year. The coaches knew this and decided to jumble the depth chart a bit. Their biggest move was shifting Bryan Bulaga, the most reliable tackle on the roster from the right side to the left side. That would ease the pressure on whomever took over for him on the right since it usually requires less efficiency in pass protection. Sadly the Packers never got a chance to see the new formation in action. Bulaga went down with a torn ACL during a training camp practice, ending his season. Suddenly an already questionable offensive line has lost its best player and threatens to throw the entire offense off kilter.
Brown anxious to overcome his time with the Washington Redskins
In the fast-paced NFL, it's easy to forget past accomplishments. A lot of people don't remember that Jammal Brown is a two-time Pro Bowl left tackle for the New Orleans Saints who helped them win a Super Bowl in 2009. Much of the reason for his disappearance is simply not playing. Brown hasn't played a game since the end of the 2011 season. Hip and groin problems have dogged him ever since the Saints traded him to the Washington Redskins. After his contract was voided, making him a free agent, the 32-year old fell off the map. Experts know he's out there but the media has surprisingly not picked up on it. Last word was his latest hip surgery was a success and he should be fully healthy for the first time in a long time. When healthy he is a stout lineman, known for his punishing run blocking and excellent technique that helps him in pass protection. That would make him a great option at right tackle, and at least give the Packers options on what to do on the left side. The big road block is GM Ted Thompson. No front office man in professional football avoid NFL free agency like he does. The former scout is all about building through the draft and only dabbles in the market to fill an absolute need. Losing the left tackle on a bad offensive line would probably qualify.
The Green Bay Packers must remember Aaron Rodgers is their priority. No expense is too big to keep him healthy, which includes signing free agents. Jammal Brown is pockmarked by red flags, but he's reliable and experienced. That is what they need right now.

Claire's Cornbread Crust Crème Fraîche Quiche
- 1 batch of cornbread (8x8 pan's worth), crumbled
- ~1 tbsp oil
- 1 red onion
- 1 bunch asparagus
- large handful baby kale (optional)
- ~1 cup crème fraîche (let 1 cup heavy cream sit out w/ 2 tbsp buttermilk overnight)
- 6 large eggs
- 2-3 oz blue cheese, crumbled (gorgonzola!)
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Chop your onion and drop it into a skillet with the oil.
- While the onion sautés, prep the asparagus. Break off the bottoms - it will snap where it wants to. Just let it happen. Discard the bottoms, and then chop the middle parts at a 45 degree angle, reserving the very tops. Add the middle to your skillet.
- When the asparagus is juuuust tender, throw in the kale, mixing until it begins to wilt. Remove from heat.
- Pour cornbread crumbs into the bottom of a pie or tart pan, and press down. Bake for ~10 minutes, or until crust just begins to turn golden.
- While crust is baking, whisk together eggs until light and fluffy. Pour in crème fraîche and whisk. Salt and pepper to taste. (I save seasoning for individual slices once the quiche is finished and served, but to each their own.)
- Line bottom of quiche with vegetables, then pour egg mixture on top. Line the edge of the pan with an asparagus crown with the tops you've set aside. Sprinkle top of quiche with cheese. PRETTY!
- Bake for ~30 minutes or until eggs have set. If it please ya, place quiche under broiler for a couple of additional minutes to get your cheese nice and crusty.
- Allow to cool for ~10 minutes before cutting and serving.
If you don't have/don't want to use crème fraîche, you can use heavy cream, buttermilk, half and half, or just plain ol' milk. Use up to 1 cup dairy - the more you use, the fluffier your quiche. The less you use, the more your quiche will resemble scrambled eggs (or perhaps a frittata). If you use a substitution, baking time may vary, so just keep an eye on it. It's done when the eggs are set, and you'll know they're set if you poke the quiche and it's firm to the touch. It will spring back, but it shouldn't break.
I served mine with a pretentious sprinkling of pink Himalayan salt and a side salad comprising baby kale mix and some leftover spicy orange honey vinaigrette.
A+ suggestion, love.

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed Swedish forward Erik Karlsson to a three-year entry-level contract. Karlsson was the team's fourth round selection (99th overall) in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
At the NHL level, the contract will pay Karlsson $550,000 in 2014-2015, $600,000 in 2015-2016, and $650,000 in 2016-2017. At the AHL level, the deal will pay Karlsson $60,000 in 2014-2015 and $65,000 in the 2015-2016 season and 2016-2017 season.
Ron Francis, Executive VP and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced the signing on Tuesday.
"Erik played well at the World Juniors, and has shown improvement each year since he was drafted. He has good speed and adds to our team's organizational depth at forward." – Ron Francis
Erik Karlsson was Elias Lindholm's teammate on Sweden's 2014 World Junior Championship team. The team won the silver medal in the tournament.
The 19-year-old played 41 games with Frolunda in the Swedish Hockey League in 2013-2014. Karlsson tallied 5 goals and 1 assist in Sweden's professional hockey league.
Erik Karlsson gained over 10 pounds this past season, and he is now listed at 6'0″, 180 lbs. He was drafted at 5'11" and around 160 lbs. in 2012.
The Lerum, Sweden native will look to turn pro soon with the Charlotte Checkers in the American Hockey League. Erik Karlsson won't compete for a pro roster spot within the next year or two, but he could make a run for an NHL spot at some point in the future.

Re:Simple friends via email, Skype, etc?Posted by Smiling? on 1/21/2012 at 11:02 AM
Hello Cedric,
Skype is a telephony software similar to Windows messanger I suppose. The audio with Skype (at least to my ears anyway) is a decent amount better. You can make video calls, or just audio calls and or chat, but it's not accessible right out of the box so to speak without scripts. GwMicro has made a version called, Gw Skype that from what I hear is accessible right out of the box, but never having used it I don't know, I am only going by what I've been told by others. You can go to Skype.com to learn more about it if you so see fit.

Works as well as Selcon, but a bit pricier. By Emil on 8/23/2011Emil would recommend this product to a friendBought this after my LFS ran out of Selcon so it gave me a reason to try something new. As far as I can tell, I get the same results I get with Selcon, which is great but you end up paying for the Elos name. Great product but a little pricey.
There are no videos related to this product.
This is the same vitamin mix that is sprayed into the Elos fish foods. At BRS we do not feel it is necessary to add additional vitamins to the Elos brand foods, however this is a fantastic product to add additional nutrition to any other brand of food you may be using.

Research is an integral part of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Currently there are several different research programs available.
Center for Sustainable Infrastructure Systems
Telephone: 303-556-2871
The Center for Sustainable Infrastructure Systems (CSIS) is an interdisciplinary research center between the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Public Affairs bringing together engineers with professionals from public policy, public affairs, public health and business development for the rapid diffusion, review and redesign of resilient and sustainable infrastructure systems in society. There are four unique aspects of CSIS sustainable infrastructures research:
In addition to conducting research, CSIS provides educational programs (curriculum, professional development, and outreach); conducts outreach for development of sustainable infrastructure projects and activities; and develops and disseminates a body of knowledge related to CSIS.
Director: Nien-Yin Chang, PhD Associate Director: Brian Brady, PhDTelephone: 303-556-2362
The Center for Geotechnical Engineering Science advances the understanding of the safety, reliability, performance and environmental impact of engineered geostructures. Resolution of geostructural and environmental remediation problems is addressed through research sponsored by public funding agencies and private industry. The center includes research on geostructural stability, rock engineering, geoenvironmental engineering and expansive soils.
Studies in the center's Expansive Soil Research Laboratory cover national and international problems, as expansive soils underlie more than one-third of the earth's land surface. In the U.S., these materials are prevalent in the Southern, Western and Rocky Mountain States. As development takes place in these areas, structures may experience the damaging effects of expansive soil resulting in the loss of millions of dollars annually. The Expansive Soil Research Laboratory develops the technology needed to mitigate damage from expansive soils by identifying and conducting research to better understand the mechanisms and processes that characterize expansive soil; by promoting education and training for engineering students, the construction industry, and the public; and by assisting industry and government with realistic guidelines on the design, construction and operation of facilities built on expansive soils.
Director: Bruce Janson, PhDTelephone: 303-556-2831
The Transportation Research Center (TRC) involves both students and faculty on the Downtown Campus in a range of education and research activities. The TRC works on projects in collaboration with other departments and colleges such as business, urban planning and public affairs. TRC projects address local, state, national and international concerns with funding from federal, state, local or private sources.
Some focuses of the Transportation Research Center are transportation modeling; traffic monitoring technologies and data analysis techniques; transportation planning and travel demand forecasting for both person and freight movements; traffic engineering and control; facility design and management; sustainable transportation systems, safety studies, use of geographic information systems in transportation; environmental impact assessment; and transportation investment decision analysis including cost-benefit and life cycle analyses. Several studies on advanced system development involve partnerships with Colorado's high-tech industry.

Definition of sin offering in English:
sin offeringLine breaks: sin offer|ing
(In traditional or ancient Judaism) an offering made as an atonement for sin.
More example sentences
- Twice over in the law of the sin-offering, God said to Israel, 'the sin-offering is most holy'.
- There was a ram for a burnt offering, and two young goats for a sin-offering.
- Maccoby contends that, where the sin-offering is concerned, the atonement relates more easily to the sin of the offerer, rather than the defilement of the altar.

Katheryn Bigelow made history Sunday night when she became the first woman to win a directing Oscar for "The Hurt Locker."
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin just might have a future in show biz. Teamed up to co-host this year's Oscar broadcast, they offered a happy reminder that an often overstuffed, overwrought TV shindig can be lighthearted fun.

Academy Awards voters are expected to go very big or very small on their best-picture winner at Sunday's Oscars.
A few months back, no one really expected the frontrunners for this year's best actor and actress Oscars to even be nominated.
LOS ANGELES -- The Kodak Theatre goes quiet as the big screen at center stage begins flashing images of actors and filmmakers who have died. A photo of Heath Ledger or Paul Newman might move the audience to spontaneous applause. Other images inspire deep sighs, as viewers reflect on the entertainers who have touched our lives.
The company picnic known as the Academy Awards will be held Sunday at the Hollywood Kodak Theatre, just down the boulevard from the famous handprints in concrete in front of Mann's Chinese. This year's tuxedoed and sequined picnic is laying out double the usual Best Picture nominees. Not since 1944 -- the year "Casablanca" won for Best Picture of 1943 -- has this happened.

I really enjoyed writing The List, and can't believe it was over a year since I posted it. These small things do really make up a life. I'm very curious about other people, probably unusually so, and love to hear about the small parts that make up their lives. My obsession with others' lives, and I think it does border on obsession, is to gain insights as to how I might lead my life. I hope for little clues.
I am not so confident that I know how to live. I'm sure if I was I might not find other people's lives so fascinating. Interesting, yes. But I don't really know how to be "normal", how to go through life with self-assurance. I still find it hard to feel that all is well and how it should be. I have felt rejected in the past at times when I have been more "real" and so I often feel the need to put on a performance. To put the Rachel show on the road! Be funny or entertaining. Or find solutions to people's problems. Or perhaps become a little like whoever I am with rather than like myself. Or, the exact opposite, I am so anxious to express myself that I don't really get to see or hear the other person. I know none of this is helpful to myself or others.
This is part of why I love blogging. Writing my own blog gives me space to get nearer to expressing my true self,rather than being a stage actor. It frees me to give myself more generously in real life. Of course, blogging is also a way to dodge the risks of real life. A way to distance myself. I think there is truth in that. But that is not all it is. It is my personal space, where I can make sense of things and make myself known. I acknowledge this is very important to me, for good or bad.
I also love reading other people's personal blogs, and blogging myself gives me entry into that world. It is that immediate familiarity and intimacy. People share things they might not otherwise. I get such great insights into how others lead their lives. Real life relationships are better, yes, but not always. There is something so liberating about the blogging world. There is the freedom, the space, to express yourself that is not always there in real life.
I shared my blog on my facebook page last week and I did have to take a deep breath before I did that. I struggle with the feeling of who am I to write about my life?
But who is anyone to write about their life?
Why not me?
Why not you?
There is still so much that I hold back. And perhaps it is just right that I do. There is a lot of dignity in not over-sharing. But this has to be for the right reason. Not because you are ashamed to reveal yourself, or don't feel worthy, but because you are self-asssured enough to feel you don't have to.
Right now I am still exploring and experimenting with what to reveal and what not to, in real life and on here. I am trying to get in touch with what feels right to me, rather than worrying about what others think. I'm not quite there yet.
Getting back to the List, I really hope any readers will share their list with me too.
I want to know what a life is made of.
So wow. That turned into an essay.
Time for The List.
cooking : not much with a small baby in tow. Some rushed soup, and lots and lots of trashy sliced white bread toast for that comfort feeling. Sometimes at 4 in the morning.
drinking : tea, and fennel tea for the windy baby.
reading : Donna Leon's books about a Venetian detective. Good, not brilliant but brings me back to the brilliant holiday in Venice in 2012.
wanting : to be accepting
looking : more closely. I want to pay more attention.
playing : Not much playing
needing : To play more
bookmarking: furniture ideas on Pinterest and Etsy
wasting : time stressing about little things
sowing : is it too late to sow chard and kale??
wishing : that I could get back those years
knowing : you need to live it to learn it
enjoying : not being pregnant any more
waiting : I find it so hard to wait
liking : that I'm realising the value of relationships, rather than just being an individual
wondering : what Iona will look like as she grows
loving : the early baby days, there is no happier time in my life for me
hoping : I don't want to hope it will be so. I want to make it so
marvelling : at how much of a fully formed person a baby is
smelling : that intense smell of baby head
wearing : elasticated pants
listening: To the Rumours album by Fleetwood Mac. "Damn your love, damn your lies!" Could it be my favourite? It reminds me too of my sister Chris and how she always loved music, especially anything uplifting and poppy, and singing and dancing.

following : Austin Kleon
noticing : how a little kindness goes a long way
thinking : when people accept me the way I am, and let me find my own solutions, it gives me the freedom to grow
opening : The Parenting Effectiveness Training workbook as we are both doing this course at Bay's school. Now I know what made therapy so good - same skills used.
watching: Game of Thrones and The Killing 3. But now the computer has swallowed the disc!

During my short trip to New York, I had the opportunity as you can see to board the Q and go to Coney Island. Unfortunately I didn't do it and regret it now because I know I would've had some awesome shots at Coney Island if I had just stepped on the train. Lesson here is to never hesitate when your instinct tells you to move forward. It's okay though. I'm going to see New York City again soon. Thinking about transferring to the Urban Outfitters on 5th Ave. next summer and taking summer classes online while I'm in NYC.

Bricks & Mortals: Ten Great Buildings and the People They Made
Bricks & Mortals: Ten Great Buildings and the People They Made (Hardcover)
On Our Shelves (as of this morning)
Longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award We don't just look at buildings: their facades, beautiful or ugly, conceal the spaces where we live. We are born, work, love, and die in architecture. We buy and sell it, rent and squat it, create and destroy it. All of these aspects of buildings—economic, erotic, political, and psychological—are crucial if we are to understand architecture properly. And because architecture molds us just as much as we mold it, understanding architecture helps us to understand our lives and our world.
In this book, ten buildings from across the globe tell stories of architecture from the beginning of civilization to the present day. From the remains of the Tower of Babel to the Summer Palace in Beijing, built and destroyed by Europeans, to the Ford car plant where the production line was born, Tom Wilkinson unpicks these structures to reveal the lives of the people who built and used them. Architecture has always had a powerful and intimate relationship with society and the lives of those who build and live with it. It has often been used to try and improve society. But can architecture change our lives for the better?
The buildings are: the Tower of Babel, Babylon; Nero's Golden House, Rome; Djinguereber Mosque, Timbuktu; Palazzo Rucellai, Florence; the Garden of Perfect Brightness, Beijing; the Festival Theatre, Beyreuth; E.1027, Cap Martin; Highland Park Ford Plant, Detroit; and the Finsbury Health Centre, London.
About the Author
Tom Wilkinson teaches at University College London. He has lectured on the history of art and architecture at the Courtauld Gallery and the University of Oxford. He has lived in Shanghai and Berlin, and speaks Chinese and German. He presently lives in London.
Praise for Bricks & Mortals: Ten Great Buildings and the People They Made…
"[A] rich, centuries-spanning tour of great buildings." – The Boston Globe"Bricks and Mortals is likely to make readers more conscious of the structures they inhabit, work in and experience daily… A thought-provoking book." – Economist"A stunning antidote [to] conventional histories… Wilkinson's writing is informed by an astonishing breadth of knowledge… Solid doses of architectural history are enriched by an engrossing array of stories, meditations and historical contexts that humanize the buildings. One of the delights in reading Wilkinson is a sense of boundlessness and discovery on every page… Bricks and Mortals provides a chance to travel the world with a guide of uncommon wisdom and talent to discover how buildings make us who we are." – Buffalo News "[A] combination of perceptive architectural observation and licentious historical analysis …Wilkinson has looked at buildings honestly and can write about them well. What he wants, I think, is to provoke readers into thinking of architecture as a subject concerned with much more than stones and proportions, famous names and revered monuments." – New Republic "A witty, erudite narrator not shy about inserting his opinions, Wilkinson draws on his extensive knowledge of art, literature, history urban planning, sociology, and culture to explore the intimate relationship between architecture and society." – Publishers Weekly "A lively combination of scholarship, cultural history and sharp-tongued social commentary about our buildings… A scholarly but swiftly flowing text that glistens with attitude." – Kirkus Reviews"A rich, thoughtful and insightful inquiry into why buildings should be built first and foremost for people. His prose is smart, witty and opinionated… As he easily jumps from architecture to popular culture to philosophy to history, Wilkinson's stimulating critical inquiries reveal an engaged social conscience. Outstanding." – Shelf Awareness"[A] wide-ranging and stimulating new book… This thought-provoking exploration of different kinds of architecture helps us better understand something we often take for granted or consider too specialized." – BookPage

Topics: Politics, Health Reform, Quality
May 28, 2010
Politico reports that the Obama administration has missed a health reform law deadline to set up a task force on breast cancer and another on health care in Alaska.
"The health care law required Health and Human Services to establish the breast cancer task force by last weekend and the Alaska task force by the first week of May. But sources familiar with the situation said the department isn't even close to having the two panels ready." The difficulty is highlighting the challenges the administration faces in implementing the law. "The plan for a breast cancer task force was part of the bill's Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young, or EARLY, Act. 'Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this section,' it says, 'the secretary, acting through the director of the Centers for Disease Control [and Prevention], shall establish an advisory committee to assist in creating and conducting the education campaigns.'" The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that it has started work on putting together the committee, which it says will meet for the first time this fall (Kliff, 5/28). The Hill reports that House Republicans introduced a bill Thursday to repeal the law altogether. "According to Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), the measure would repeal the current law and replace it with the alternative the minority party offered to the original healthcare legislation last November. … Chances are slim Republicans could get their measure to the floor, given the Democratic majorities in the chamber, but it could make a useful campaign tool for the party" (Hooper, 5/27).

I want to parse a large set of movie/advertisement mixture in one video file, i.e. some hours of video, and separate not only movie and advertisement, but also split/cut different advertisements into clips (I'm only interested in advertisement clips separated into different files). Is there a tool which allows to do such thing without interaction (most tools, e.g. Kdenlive, have great scene recognition, but only split the clips into logical units for editing)? Of course, scene detection isn't deterministic and some clips will require cutting, but that shouldn't matter.
The important thing is the separation of clips into files and the automatization.

How was your experience?
The opening scene was incredibly funny and well-acted, one of the best that I have ever seen. But the rest of the performance did not match this opening. There were some good moments but the reality is that with a small cast such as this, all of the actors need to be consistently good to provide a convincing performance. Still recommended.

WOW, this is way cool. You the reader get access to all (ALL) the data from a medical mystery (HIPAA-compliant doctor notes, ER records, radiology scans) and then try to solve the case before the answer is released Friday (Feb 3 '12).
If you've ever wondered what a real medical record looks like, or wanted to get an insider's look at the diagnostic process, CHECK THIS OUT.
Big thank you to Cranquistador meepism for the submitted link! And no, I haven't tried to figure it out myself — I'm honestly too busy running this blog in my "free time" right now. :)
I can only recommend you to read this case and try solving it. I have a hunch, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm curious...

Beautiful Blonde Bree Olson Gets Her Hairy Pussy Fucked Hard
this blonde cutie is charming! and she looks so innocent in these bright stripy stockings!
These two porn stars are so good, when they get together. Babe eats his cock and balls and then he gets on the stage.
I like these girls. Their bodies are so hot and they look great at a whole. I should remember names if these actresses.
gosh, this is one of the best videos ever! the guy's dick is so big and he drills the chick's pussy so deftly! I would love this video even more if the blonde's pussy were shaved... don't like hairy cunts, you know!
Holy smokes this is some really hot action, i got so damn hard wild watching this that i nearly exploded
This blondie is amazing. Her tight pussy and mouth get fucked so deep. It seems like she is a nympho!
i like the blonde's hairy pussy love how she sucks on that big hard dick
If there's one pornstar that I'd love to be, it would definitely be Kerian Lee! This dude gets to fuck the hottest girls!
I love Bree! She seems so cute and lovely and then you see she's a total slut who loves sex!
This little stunner had no interest in doing dance,m she just wants her gee gaped by a big weapon.
Damn her boobs are really great. And I like the moment when she gets fucked in her mouth. I seems like she can swallow the cock!
The Brazzers Network of websites has been a hit since day one, and has continued to improve since it was launched. Recently, they've added a ton of new sites and have made the jump to High Definition porn. And boy does it look amazing. There are 29 websites in the network and all for less than 25 bucks per month.

So my very strange birthday wish was that my husband get fired. Yes, I know it's a terrible thing to think, but he has been working almost 70 hours a week for over a year. It's ridiculous.
Tonight he calls me around 5:00 and says "I'm on my way home." So I'm actually a little glad. It's weird - it's been so long since he's been around, it's going to be like we're getting to know each other again. We are already planning on going to my mom's this weekend, he's going with me to a wedding at the end of the month, and we'll get to spend Thanksgiving together! It's a good thing.
The other good thing is that he wants to write a book. It's very exciting! AND he can help around the house! AND we can go places together!
It's a weird thing about complaining about stuff - I've been complaining about his work schedule for so long, and now I don't have to complain about it anymore. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I love it.
Brad actually said to me "now I can take care of you - I want to cook for you and feed you right." He snuck in there "you probably gained a little weight" and he's right - I did. He didn't say it in a mean way, just telling the truth. And I wasn't offended. I got so lazy with the cooking, and honestly, when he wasn't home EVER to tell me how good I looked, it didn't really matter to me that my pants were a little tight.
So this is the start of something new. It's a great way to start October, and it will make for a WONDERFUL holiday season. I can't wait to spend time with my honey!
So I didn't get an interview at Sesame Street. :(
That's the bummer news.
But what's kind of funny is that I'm not totally devastated like I thought I might be. I knew it was a total long shot, but I went for it anyway. And I'm really glad I did because the really really good thing to come out of this is that I can take a look at the qualifications, see where I came up short, and go from there. This is the kind of job I'd LOVE to have, and one of my major "problems" is that I don't have classroom teaching experience.
So the plan is to take a good look at the next step. And right now I'm thinking it's getting some sort of Early Childhood certification and getting some experience in an early learning center... or something similar.
Good things!
Last night after school, some of us went out to celebrate my new status as a Mrs. It was so nice, and I have such thoughtful friends! One of my best friends got us a beautiful set of wine glasses and a wine pitcher, and some fun coasters with our initial on them! I don't think she has any idea that we have been looking for a wine pitcher for almost two years! So thoughtful. We had such a fun time. One of the best parts about getting married like we did is that the celebrations have been on-going. We didn't have a reception (heck, we didn't have anyone else at our wedding!), so we've been getting together with friends and getting cards sent to us since July. Nobody has to say "sorry I missed the reception," instead it's "hey, we didn't celebrate yet! Let's go out tonight!"
It's Ironman 70.3 weekend in the Poconos! I am thinking that being around all these fit people will get me in gear. I can feel that I've been getting a little more roly-poly, and I don't like it. But the weird thing is that I haven't been motivated to do anything about it. I guess I just haven't really thought of any goals to work toward, so I'm just chugging along at a snail's pace. The combination of the Ironman, a new month, and two weddings right around the corner should certainly motivate me, though!
October is my FAVORITE month. It's my birthday, the air is crisp, my hometown has their really fun Halloween Parade (it's a huge deal!), the leaves change, and this month is the Month of New Siding! They come back on Tuesday to re-start the siding project (the shipment was delayed because of the flooding around here, and the siding is now in!).
So it's going to be an exhausting weekend, but a good one. And a few extra bucks to maybe spend on some new running gear? New gear is always a motivation for me. It gets me out and moving... I feel so good when I am wearing great workout stuff!
Have a super day!
OMG I did it!!!! I sent my resume to Sesame Street!!! I sent the best work I could. I am so proud of myself for actually doing this. So many times I see these great opportunities and let them pass me by. Even working at the Ironman this weekend - usually I'd just ignore the e-mail and think "Oh well," but this time I sent in my stuff and I will be making a few extra bucks this weekend!
I can't even tell you how good it feels to have sent in my stuff. And it's partly because I know that getting everything ready to send was something out of my comfort zone. It would have been so easy just to not do anything and daydream about the job, but it feels so much better to at least say "I sent in my stuff so we'll see." I am SO excited. If I would even get a reply e-mail I'd be thrilled.
AAAAHHHH it's a good day!!!!
Being in a funk is a funny thing. It feels like there is never going to be an end to it. Everything is sad, constant exhaustion, don't feel like doing ANYthing... but then - something happens and the funk starts to lift. Sometimes it's all at once, sometimes it's little by little...
This last week has been really rough on me. Brad is going through some craziness at work - the owner of the restaurant put an ad in the paper for Brad's job and didn't even TELL Brad this was happening, and then just when Brad thinks that Sunday is his last day (and we get to spend more time together!), they ask him to come back in on Monday and then again today. I feel kind of awful saying this, but Brad and I laugh that we are the only two people on the face of the earth that are actually looking forward to someone getting fired! So I've been planning for time together, and then not together. And then together, and then not together. It's very stressful. Brad is getting burned out from so much working, and I just wish he was home more.
It's also been the single most stressful year of teaching EVER. There is just so much going on right now that the morale of the staff is in the dumps and it's getting harder and harder to pull people out of it. I'm doing my best, but I don't want to be crazy sugary optimistic. It's just not realistic to go about like that all day. Sigh... I need to find a balance. But our GAS (Give A Sh--) committee is helping. I've gotten fun little gifts in my mailbox at school, and I love going on searches for fun little gifts for other people.
So just when it seems like the funk is going to last forever because things just KEEP HAPPENING, something good happens!
Like my AMAZING Opportunity. I was searching around the web last week and happened across the Sesame Street website (I love Sesame Street). I happened across the employment section, and saw this job that looks just PERFECT. I read it, and I couldn't believe that I have just about all the qualifications! OMG so I'm sending in my resume this evening. And it just so happens that I have a connection who knows the executive producer, so I'm going to flex my networking muscles and see where it gets me. I would just LOVE an interview!
And then, I get an e-mail last night that our siding is in! It was delayed a bit because of the awful flooding around here, but it's in! And work is starting next Tuesday! Which also happens to be my birthday! Hooray!
AND my letter from my eye doctor came. It's wonderful - I can't wait to organize my plea to put my light covers back on.
AND (!) Brad and I had a wonderful evening last night. It was so nice to totally not have to think about doing housework and just about enjoying time with my husband. We had a wonderful dinner (he cooked!), we had a bottle of wine (a gift from one of my very good friends!), he made pancakes for dessert, and we snuggled on the couch. And popcorn.
AND!!! I did not have to go pick up the veggies last night. As much as I love our CSA share, I just sometimes can't even BEAR the thought of driving after school to pick it up. So Brad volunteered to go get the veggies so I could come right home after school. He is the best!
So keep your fingers crossed for this Sesame Street gig...
Oh! And on Saturday and Sunday I'll be earning a couple extra bucks by working at the Ironman store. This weekend is the first Ironman triathlon in the Poconos, so It's a super exciting time for this area!
Off to have some breakfast and get ready for a morning faculty meeting... have a great day!
I feel so "not myself" lately. It's been so hard for me to get housework done, I have half-finished projects all over the place, and I just feel very weird. I have no idea what this means.
It's been a stressful month... school started and it's HARD this year. Between the very needy kindergarten class and the in-the-dumps morale of the staff, it's been a struggle to keep my head up at school. The morale committee is helping, but it's still a lot different than years past. Brad is working like crazy, and there is some other nonsense going on at his work that is just dumb. He's bummed because he doesn't get to see me that much, and he just really wants to get back to cooking good food at home and being around the house. I wish he'd just be my house husband for a while. It would be nice to have someone around to come home to at the end of a hard day...
It's a weird feeling - I feel like I'm not in my own body. I'm going through the motions but I'm not really appreciating anything or living life. My focus is just not there - I can't seem to find what it is that is really going to give me that SPARK.
This morning's run will surely be very meditative... I have lots to think about.

What Does Garcinia Cambogia Extract Do Weight Loss
Whenever you see yourself in a mirror, how do you feel? If you are like most people you probably feel a bit despondent. You aren t totally happy with your body and in fact, sometimes you actually despise the way you look. Perhaps you ve tried dieting before and even exercise to change the way you look and even if you started noticing slight changes, eventually your body seems to return to its original shape. It seems that no matter what you try nothing seems to work.
Dehydration has directly been linked to several forms of diseases including colon cancer, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol levels. Many people also mistake thirst for hunger. So it may not be that you re hungry all day, you may just be thirsty and dehydrated. In due time, dehydration will cause a gradual gain in weight from overeating as a direct result of confusion of thirst and hunger sensations.
You often hearread about Hollywood stars and celebrities losing weight, taking clenbuterol, a new weight-loss drug that literally melts away fat, and often you people follow your favorite stars and celebrities. However, take a moment to learn about the drug that you are going to put into your body.

This is a very good bonus for the ebook along with the other supplements. It keeps you up to date with what is going on and in touch with other members of the group. Author Michelle Moss also monitors the forum and answers your questions herself. So, when you get this course, you are not just acquiring an ebook, but also good support. The forum is also a place to share your experiences with other members. This can help you understand how to implement the various strategies described in the course.
