Dgamm562- Portfolio Piece
Back in 2010, I was inspired by the Mario Galaxy soundtrack- To the Gateway. Its a pretty and soothing melody, give it a listen:
My inspiration developed into a short story of a girl daydreaming in class about swimming through the ocean. Here she is and here is my animatic.
I wanted to pick it up again, dust it off and polish it into a portfolio piece for concept work, character design, storyboarding and animation. I've been working on it on and off. Earlier in the year, I worked on a background and some animation in Flash. (That helped me learn alot!)Today, I continued my work on some animation of her peeking into the cave and swimming in.
I would appreciate a critique on this piece of animation and your opinion of the story and boards.
Thank you for a moment of your time!
Re: Dgamm562- Portfolio Piece
Both your animatic and your short animated scene are very nice. There's a lot of positives for your concept design as well.
The animation on the short scene is very good and you're handling fundamentals well. There's a little choppiness here and there, very minor that comes along with running rough footage. Watch at the end where the character rises to swim off screen. The arc needs some attention.
Very enjoyable to watch! Thanks for posting.

No. 63 men's tennis drops 5-2 decision to No. 72 UNF
Requires Adobe Flash
Saturday, March 05, 2011
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
(Mar. 4, 2011)
- The No. 63 ETSU men's tennis team fell 5-2 to No. 72 North Florida, Friday evening at the UNF Tennis Complex. UNF moves to 6-3 (1-0 A-Sun) with the victory, while ETSU falls to 4-5 (1-1 A-Sun).
Like I've been saying for five years it is tough to defend the title, because everyone goes so hard at you and eventually they are going to get you," said ETSU Director of Tennis
Yaser Zaatini.
". North Florida is a solid well coached team and our guys fought hard, but just came up short. I hope this serves as a wake-up call."
UNF got out to the quick start by winning the doubles point after taking two out of the three matches. The Bucs' only victory came at the No. 1 position when seniors
Grega Teraz
(Mojstrana, Slovenia) and
Charles Bottoni
(Bois Guillaume, France) defeated Moritz Buerchner and Beauregard Treyz, 8-6.
In singles play, the Bucs picked up two quick straight set victories as sophomore
Juan Ramirez
(Asuncion, Paraguay) and Bottoni put ETSU up 2-1. Ramirez defeated Pedro Davisson, 6-4, 6-2, at the No. 5 position, while Bottoni knocked off Treyz, 6-3, 6-1.
Three of the four remaining matches went to three sets, but the Bucs were unable to capture another victory.
"I'm proud of what my guys have done over the years and regardless of the loss," added Zaatini. "We just have to pick ourselves back up and work that much harder."
The Bucs return to action tomorrow as they take on Jacksonville, beginning at 2 p.m.

1 1/2 pounds
flank steak
German stone ground mustard, to taste
1/2 pound
thick sliced bacon
2 large
onions, sliced
1 (16 ounce) jar
dill pickle slices
2 tablespoons
2 1/2 cups
1 cube
beef bouillon
I am a military wife who currently lives in Germany. This recipe is close but doesn't taste as good as the ones made in Germany. I was lucky that I was able to go to a German butcher and purchase the meat that they cut just for Rouladen. It is very, thin meat about 6 inches long. Ideally, your meat should be long enough to roll at least 3 times. You probably won't be able to buy the thick pork bacon that is used in Germany so use thin sliced bacon. It will taste better than regular thick sliced bacon. Also, to assist with the flavor put in 1 envelope of Lipton Beefy Onion soup mix. You can then thicken the gravy after the rolls are done to serve over them. Overall, this a very close copy of what we eat in Germany.
Unless I missed reading something this recipe is missing a very important component, the gravy. While the meat is simmering, add a bay leaf to the broth. At the end of cooking time discard the bay leaf. Prepare gravy by using brown gravy mix or flour. I grew up in Germany. My Dad made the best rouladen! Good gravy is absolutely essential to this recipe!

We are from the Saar area of Germany so the recipe is the same.
The difference is the manner of cooking we bake them in a roasting pan with a bit of water to get those dark drippings on the bottom ( the almost burnt part).
Remove the rolls set roasting pan on stove add your water and get a really high heat to boil.
In a seperate container using a blender take cold water and some flour & blend it as you boil and lift the dark drippings add the flour mix.
You get a nice dark gravy from this.
I grew up this this recipe. My mother gave it to me back when I got married 20+ years ago and it is loved by my wife and kids. My wife likes the pickles in, but my sons and I don't. I usually have to make 8-10 large ones to feed the family.
Make sure the mustard has horse radish in it. Yum!
To make it a little easier, I use "sandwich steaks". They're cut thin to begin with and I additionally pound (tenderize) them further sandwiched between plastic wrap or wax paper. The process is the basically the same from there.
I brown them and place them in a pot with 2-3 cans of beef broth. I also add a bay leaf or two. Two smahed cloves of garlic. (Taken out later) Also a tablespoon of the mustard and a couple of peppercorns are added to the broth. I usually will also add a little worchestershire sauce. I use a medium colored roue (spelling?) to thicken the gravy after I take the rolls out of the pot.Don't forget to remove the bay leaf, garlic, and peppercorns. Let them cook for a good long time until they barely hold together.
We serve them with plain boiled russets and top it with the gravy.
I have made rouladen for years, based on my mom's recipe (who is German - came to US when she was 22). Couple of hints - vary the mustard type, bacon and pickles for different taste sensations. And for those who are leery of the pickles, dice them up - still get the great flavor but you don't realize it's in there! And always make gravy with the liquid - it's the best. I dice up all the "stuffers" - onions, bacon and pickles - and if I have any leftovers after filling the rolls, I throw them in the liquid - makes the gravy even better!
Thank you for this recipe, it turned out delicious. I made a few changes...try it with some horseradish as well as the stoneground mustard. I also browned them on the stove top and then finished them off in the crockpot. Add just a tiny bit of beef bouillion water & a splash of red wine to the slowcooker (also fresh ground pepper & a couple bay leaves) and let them cook on high heat for 3-4 hours. This made let so tender you could cut them with a fork. Quickly whisk the juice from the slowcooker with a little cornstarch/water paste to make a flavourful gravy. Guten Appetit!
While I am Italian and grew up with predominantly Italian cooking, this is my family's favorite dish, probably because when I make it it's considered a special occasion! It is to-die-for good. Like Dr. Bones, I use either sandwich steaks, or very thinly sliced round steak. I have made it both with and without the pickle and mustard, and while I know that to use them is traditional, our family prefers them with just the bacon and onion. I simmer them a good hour and a half in beef broth once they're browned, adding more broth or water as it reduces. Once they're good and tender I thicken the gravy with flour and more broth. I prefer to serve these little "roll mops" with hot, buttered noodles, but my family insists on mashed potatoes. Thanks for posting the recipe!
This recipe is very close to one I'm familiar with, as I cook for a German Family summer camp every year. This year, we made Rouladen twice in one week, each time making over 250 for our lunch menu! However,I would add this: we use regular mustard, garlic salt, NO horseradish, and dice the bacon, onion and pickles up VERY small. We do not use any boullion, but add carrots and celery to the water over the rolls while cooking. After sauteing and placing them into a shallow baking pan,we cover the pan w/saran wrap and then aluminum foil, put in a 300 degree oven for several hours until tender. We strain the carrots, celery and broth into a tall stockpot, literally "smashing" the vegetables through the strainer and discarding the fiber, then thickening w/corn starch. We serve the traditional Spaetzle, or tiny dumplings alongside. By all means, ask your butcher to cut top round 1/5" thick for you. In rolling the rouladen, think "burrito". It will keep all the good stuff inside! Good eating!

Reference Information
Thorium (chemical symbol Th) is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal found at very low levels in soil, rocks, and water. It has several different isotopes, both natural and man-made, all of which are radioactive. The most common form of thorium is thorium-232, found naturally.

- What can I do to protect myself and my family from thorium?

The Basics
Who discovered thorium?
Thorium was discovered in 1828 by the Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius. After determining that it was a new element, Berzelius named his discovery after the Norse god of thunder and weather, Thor. Thorium was discovered to be radioactive independently in 1898 by Gerhard Carl Schmidt and by Marie Curie.
Where does thorium come from?
Almost all thorium is natural, but, thorium isotopes can be artificially produced. Thorium occurs at very low levels in virtually all rock, soil, and water, and therefore is found in plants and animals as well. Minerals such as monazite, thorite and thorianite are rich in thorium and may be mined for the metal. Generally, artificial isotopes come from decay of other man-made radionuclides, or absorption in nuclear reactions.
What are the properties of thorium?
Thorium is a soft, silvery white metal. Pure thorium will remain shiny for months in air, but if it contains impurities it tarnishes to black when exposed to air. When heated, thorium oxide glows bright white, a property that makes it useful in lantern mantles. It dissolves slowly in water. Thorium-232 has a half-life of 14 billion (14x109) years, and decays by alpha emission, with accompanying gamma radiation. Thorium-232 is the top of a long decay series that contains key radionuclides such as radium-228, its direct decay product, and radon-220. Two other isotopes of thorium, which can be significant in the environment, are thorium-230 and thorium-228. Both belong to other decay series. They also decay by alpha emission, with accompanying gamma radiation, and have half-lives of 75,400 years and 1.9 years, respectively.
What is thorium used for?
Thorium has coloring properties that has made it useful in ceramic glazes. But, it has been most widely used in lantern mantles for the brightness it imparts (though alternatives are replacing it), and in welding rods, which burn better with small amounts of added thorium. Thorium improves the properties of ophthalmic lenses, and is an alloying agent in certain metals used in the aerospace industry. More than 30 years ago, thorium oxides were used in hospitals to make certain kinds of diagnostic X-ray photographs. But, this practice has been discontinued.
Exposure to Thorium
How does thorium get into the environment?
Natural thorium is present in very small quantities in virtually all rock, soil, water, plants and animals. Where high concentrations occur in rock, thorium may be mined and refined, producing waste products such as mill tailings. If not properly controlled, wind and water can introduce the tailings into the wider environment. Commercial and federal facilities that have processed thorium may also have released thorium to the air, water, or soil. Man-made thorium isotopes are rare, and almost never enter the environment.
How does thorium change in the environment?
As thorium-232 undergoes radioactive decay, it emits an alpha particle, with accompanying gamma radiation, and forms radium-228. This process of releasing radiation and forming a new radionuclide continues until stable lead-208 is formed. The half-life of thorium-232 is about 14 billion years. Two other isotopes of thorium, which can be significant in the environment, are thorium-230 and thorium-228. Both decay by alpha emission, with accompanying gamma radiation, in 75,400 years and 1.9 years, respectively.
How are people exposed to thorium?
Since thorium is naturally present in the environment, people are exposed to tiny amounts in air, food and water. The amounts are usually very small and pose little health hazard. Thorium is also present in many consumer products such as ceramic glazes, lantern mantles, and welding rods.
People who live near a facility that mines or mills thorium, or manufactures products with thorium, may receive higher exposures. Also, people who work with thorium in various industries may receive higher exposures.
How does thorium get into the body?
People may inhale contaminated dust, or swallow thorium with food or water. Living near a thorium contaminated site, or working in an industry where thorium is used, increases your chance of exposure to thorium.
What does thorium do once it gets into the body?
If inhaled as dust, some thorium may remain in the lungs for long periods of time, depending on the chemical form. If ingested, thorium typically leaves the body through feces and urine within several days. The small amount of thorium left in the body will enter the bloodstream and be deposited in the bones where it may remain for many years. There is some evidence that the body may absorb thorium through the skin, but that would not likely be the primary means of entry.
Health Effects of Thorium
How can thorium affect people's health?
The principal concern from low to moderate level exposure to ionizing radiation is increased risk of cancer. Studies have shown that inhaling thorium dust causes an increased risk of developing lung cancer, and cancer of the pancreas. Bone cancer risk is also increased because thorium may be stored in bone.
Is there a medical test to determine exposure to thorium?
There are special tests that measure the level of thorium in the urine, feces, and also via exhaled air that can determine if a person has been exposed to thorium. These tests are useful only if taken within a week after exposure. You need special equipment to detect thorium not available in doctors offices or most hospitals. Some federal facilities and specialized laboratories have this capability.
Protecting People from Thorium
How do I know thorium if I'm near thorium?
You need special equipment to detect thorium, and special training. Health physicists and radiation safety officers are trained to measure thorium.
What can I do to protect myself and my family from thorium?
Most people are not exposed to dangerous levels of thorium. However, people who live near thorium mining areas, or near certain government or industrial facilities may have increased exposure to thorium, especially if their water is from a private well. Analytical laboratories can test water for thorium content. Occasionally, household items may be found with thorium in them, such as some older ceramic wares in which uranium was used in the glaze, or gas lantern mantles. These generally do not pose serious health risks, but may nevertheless be retired from use as a prudent avoidance measure. A radiation counter is required to confirm if ceramics contain thorium.
What is EPA doing about thorium?
EPA protects people and the environment from thorium by establishing standards for the clean-up of contaminated sites, and by setting limits on the amount of thorium (and other radionuclides) that may be released to the air from specific sources, or found in public drinking water.
The standards for the clean-up of existing contaminated sites generally fall under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly called Superfund. Clean ups must meet all requirements that are relevant or applicable, such as state regulations and regulations issued in connection with other environmental laws. When these types of regulations are not applicable, or not protective enough, EPA sets site-specific cleanup levels that limit the chance of developing cancer due to exposure to a site-related carcinogen (such as thorium) to between one in 10,000 and one in 1,000,000.
EPA issued special regulations for cleaning up uranium and thorium mill tailing sites under the "Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act" (federal regulations are found in 40CFR192, "Health and Environmental Protection Standards for Uranium and Thorium Mill Tailings"). These mills are found mostly in the western states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.

This site provides information on radionuclides at Superfund sites.
- EPA's Superfund Hotline: 1-800-424-9346 or 1-800-535-0202
- Clean Air Act
EPA uses this authority to set limits on the emissions of hazardous air pollutants from specific sources. Hazardous air pollutants include both chemicals and radionuclides that are known or suspected to cause serious health problems. While no air emissions standards list thorium specifically, radionuclides are limited as a group.
- RadNESHAPS
This site provides information on EPA's National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Radionuclides.
- Radionuclides in Drinking Water
This site provides information about radionuclides in drinking water and guidance to help states and water systems comply with the standard. EPA uses its Safe Drinking Water Act authority to establish maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for alpha emitters such as thorium in public drinking water. The MCL for alpha emitters is 15 picoCuries per liter of water.

i had a job years back building pipe for off shore oil exploration, i used gas/oky pipe cutters many times, both mechanical and motorized, they worked wonderful, as for the gas that we used, i think it was propane or, mayby natural gas, not acetylene, and all of these preps were xrayed and ultrasounded inspected, the heat affect to the pipe, as mentioned is a non issue

Plasma pipe bevelling in the field is getting extremely popular. There can be a single pass, double pass (change torch angle and produce bevel with land) and tripple passes that can produce a necessary undercut when transitions (changing to a heavier wall thickness for passing under roads, streams, etc.) are needed. Using protable generators and compressors are all that is needed....and often the process is safer than having to cart compressed gases in the field. Further, you can switch from machine torch to hand torch in seconds with many of the better plasma systems.

First, thanks for all the replies!! Just to be clear my question is really not so much about flame cutting as it is why would you use a mechanical beveling machine (one w/ cutters) instead of flame or arc.

In addition to Safe Zone Project trainings that are presented to specific staff (i.e. Residential Life, Student Success Centers, etc), and sessions that are offered in particular classes (i.e. some Intro to Women and Gender Studies, Health Fitness Practicum, Social Work Methods, etc), general sessions are periodically offered to the USM community. All are welcome, and encouraged, to attend. Community members are invited to attend if space allows. Tuesday, November 5, 2013. 1:00-2:30pm. 205 Bailey Hall, Gorham Campus Please RSVP to: firstname.lastname@example.com Sessions with fewer than 5 people may be canceled/rescheduled 48 hours in advance.
The mission of the Safe Zone Project at the University of Southern Maine is to visibly identify and support those members of the University community who are safe and supportive contacts for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and queer students, staff and faculty.
Safe Zone Project volunteers participate in a 1.5 to 2 hour orientation program that introduces them to the various aspects of the lives and experiences of LGBTQ individuals and community. The program focuses on the issues that LGBTQ people face and how we (both LGBTQ and heterosexual) can be successful, safe and supportive allies. Once a volunteer has gone through the orientation program, they can display the Safe Zone symbol on their office door, desk space or person.

Practice Philosophy
My goal is to provide for my patients technically expert and artistically beautiful results, combined with a warm, non-intimidating surgical experience. I feel that the decision to have plastic surgery is a very personal one, and it is important that my patients are able to communicate their desires and motivations freely. I want my patients to be fully educated as to all of the options available to them so that they may confidently make the best decisions for themselves. An individualized surgical plan, combined with close personal supervision post-operatively, leads to a beautiful outcome and a happy patient.
Natural Aesthetic Facial Surgery
Cosmetic Facial Surgery for the Younger Patient
Mommy Makeover Procedures (Abdominoplasty, Cosmetic Breast Surgery, Liposuction)
Breast Reconstruction after Mastectomy
The consultation is one of the most important determinants of a successful results and a happy patient, and so we take great care to make this the most positive and productive experience possible. Every new patient is greeted by our receptionists, and basic medical information is obtained prior to meeting with Dr. Chang
During the consultation time, Dr. Chang takes great care to provide the most honest, up-to-date, and complete information for her patients'. And just as importantly, she takes the time to listen carefully to her patients' concerns so that the most suitable surgical plan can be developed. During this time, a targeted exam may be performed and appropriate pre-operative and post-operative photos will be available for perusal. There is no set time limit for the consultation, but generally it will take approximately 1 hour. Individualized care is something that Dr. Chang feels is vital to meeting her patients'
After the consultation every new patient then meets with our patient coordinator who provides additional practical information, answers logistical concerns, and addresses financial issues. Our patient coordinator then remains a primary source of guidance for our patients as they are making their preparations. If desired, our coordinator will provide follow-up phone calls to answer any additional questions which may arise. Dr. Chang is certainly also available for additional information, and second consultations are always welcomed.
The safety of our patients is one of our highest priorities, and so we proform most of our procedures in a fully accredited hospital operating room with a licensed anesthesiologist. For select patients and type of procedures that require less than a general anesthetic, we also offer as an option our own AAAASF certified in-office operating room facility. Dr. Chang will advise you if this type of environment is appropriate for your particular procedure.

There is a reason why so many magicians of the past vanished items up their sleeves. BECAUSE IT WORKS! Now YOU can learn the closely-guarded SLEEVING and LAPPING techniques used by the pros!
SLEEVING is the art of tipping your arm so that you can either make an item appear by dropping it into your hand from its hiding place inside your sleeve, or you can vanish an item by dropping it into your sleeve from your hand. SLEEVING is usually done standing up.
LAPPING is the skill of vanishing an item by dropping it into your lap. LAPPING is done sitting down at a table.
If you've ever watched the legendary magic of Rocco or Slydini, you know just how incredibly deceptive these techniques can be. Items literally vanish or appear FASTER than the blink of an eye. These methods were never shared- until now!
Just look at all the effects you'll learn:
With the information on this DVD and some practice, you'll be doing magic that very few magicians know how to do!

I want to take my video game home with my on the plane and don't want to put it in my checked luggage because they just carelessly toss luggage around. But I want to know if it is safe to take it through scanners; I've taken burned CD's through before and they were erased, I don't want that to happen to this $80 game.

Sham 69 is an English punk band that formed in Hersham in 1976. Although not as commercially successful as many of their contemporaries, albeit with a greater number of chart entries, Sham 69 has been a huge musical and lyrical influence on the Oi! and streetpunk genres. The band allegedly derived their name from a piece of graffiti that founder Jimmy Pursey saw on a wall. It originally said Walton and Hersham '69 but had partly faded away, and made reference to when Walton & Hersham F.C. secured the Athenian League title in 1969.

New Cloning Experiment Makes Big News
The discovery of a frozen Mammoth has allowed a team of Japanese Scientists an attempt at cloning the species. Yes, a real life Mammoth could be walking the planet after 10,000 years of extinction.
Researchers plan to use a tissue sample from frozen mammoth remains, to harvest cell nuclei. The nuclei of the mammoth cell will then be inserted into the egg cell of an elephant, which has had its own nuclei removed. Follow? In other words… if we take an elephant egg cell, remove its nucleus, and then replace it with a mammoth nucleus, we will have a baby mammoth.
The research group, which includes two American, and one Russian scientist, is headed by Akira Iritani, professor at Kyoto University in Japan.

Lily's blowjob starts off with a tit-fuck that doesn't last nearly long enough for us to admire her full-breasted goodies. We'd be really disappointed if she wasn't such a skilled cock-sucker! She quickly moves on to the BJ and it turns out she's as good a cock-sucker as she is a tit-fucker. This little 18-year old has a dirty mouth and much much more. When she starts talking dirty with a cock in her mouth you'll want to blow your load all over her pigtails.
Lilly Lovely will talk dirty to you anytime!

It was a race that almost never was but Julia Mancuso managed to fight her way down through the fog to win her 5th career World Championship medal. Mancuso has joined the HEAD World Cup Rebels this year and to be in with a chance of winning medals and major races was why she joined the HEAD World Cup rebels. Impressive splits gave Mancuso a hint of victory but Tina Maze and Lara Gut edged her out for the gold and silver.
"Today was very difficult. It was a long day," Mancuso explained after the race. With think fog encasing the middle of the run and causing the race to be delayed thirteen times. It was finally given the OK to run at almost three pm and then came a further delay as a course slipper fell and needed to be airlifted off. "My run was not perfect," she continued "but I made it down."
Mancuso was charging and determined to put in a great run yet like a number of other athletes came in hard on one gate and just managed to squeeze past. "I was probably going too fast," she added on why she almost missed the gate.
"I think that might've been one of the most difficult races I've ever been in. It was a really long course and a lot of hurry up and wait. I didn't know I'd be so tired at the end of the run. Every time, no matter what kind of run, I know I could have a much better run. But to finish on the podium is kind of all you can ask for," explained Mancuso, "but I want that Gold," she added.
While Mancuso reflected on the run, for Lindsey Vonn the season is over as she crashed badly on the jump and on landing her knee buckled. According to U.S. Ski Team Medical Director Kyle Wilkens, Vonn suffered a torn ACL and MCL in her right knee and a lateral tibial plateau fracture. She will be out for the remainder of this season but is expected to return to racing for the 2013-14 Audi FIS World Cup season and the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
Defending Champion Lizz Goergl finished 11th while Maria Hoefl-Riesch and Anna Fenninger both skied out after missing gates. Due to the race starting so late and the weather changing for the worse, the race was stopped early.
Gold: Tina Maze (SLO)
Silver: Lara Gut (SUI)
Bronze: Julia Mancuso (USA) HEAD
11th Lizz Goergl (AUT) HEAD

Yes, Indian citizens usually need a transit visa even if you are going to stay airside, but if you have a valid US visa, you will not need a transit visa in most cases. It shouldn't be too hard to obtain, so don't despair.

Wilbur Ricks, 91, of Creston, died Sunday, December 2, 2012 at his home in Creston.
Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Saturday, December 8, 2012 at First United Methodist Church in Creston. Pastor Gideon Gallo and Rev. Jim Morris will officiate. Burial will be at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, at Greenlawn Cemetery in Afton, with graveside military rites by the Creston Theodore J. Martins V.F.W. Post #1797 and the Afton John B. Parks V.F.W. Post #8882. Open visitation will be from 2-8:00 p.m. Friday, December 7, 2012, at the Powers Funeral Home junction of highways 34 and 25 in Creston, with family receiving friends from 6-8:00 p.m. Friday. Memorials may be directed to the Afton United Methodist Church and First United Methodist Church in Creston. Online condolences may be given at www.powersfh.com.
Wilbur Franklin Ricks was born to Arthur O. and Nellie R. (Hamilton) Ricks on December 8, 1920, and passed away in his home from natural causes on December 2, 2012, at the age of 91 years. He was raised in farming communities in Harrison and Montgomery Counties, experiencing the Great Depression during his teenage years. He helped his father operate a steam threshing crew. He graduated from high school in Stennett, Iowa, in 1939 as the Valedictorian of his class of 3. He enrolled in Simpson College, and later transferred to Iowa State University to major in engineering. His education was interrupted by World War II, and he answered the call to service by joining the U.S. Air Force. He served as a gunnery instructor for B-24 squadrons, from a base in Harlingen, Texas.
On March 9, 1945, he was united in marriage to Helen E. Brown at Afton. Following his discharge from the service, Wilbur and Helen began farming land that is now the south bank of Three Mile Lake. There they made their home until 1987. In 1954 Wilbur took employment with the Iowa State Highway Commission, working for 20 years as a construction inspector and bridge designer. He helped build Interstates 35 and 80, and he enjoyed traveling those roads years later, pointing out culverts and bridges that he had helped design and build. A crowning achievement was the Highway 92 bridge over Grand River, that has both a curve and an incline built into the structure.
Two children were born to Wilbur and Helen: a daughter, Deva (Vernon) Long of rural Afton, and a son, Allen (Donna) of Grinnell. In 1974 they welcomed an international son, Bahiru Egziabiher, from Ethiopia. Wilbur was especially proud of his grandchildren: William (Sarah) Long, Kristen (Craig) Moeckly, Darren Long, Sarah (Shane) VanWaardhuizen, and Siyoum Egziabiher. He is survived by nine great-grandchildren: Riley, Peyton, Emmet, and Maria Long; Lane, Morgan, and Henry Moeckly; and Ella and Tyce VanWaardhuizen.
In 1970 Wilbur retired from the Highway Commission and expanded the farming operation to include a Grade A dairy herd. He continued farming until retirement in 1985. He was the caregiver for his wife, Helen, during her extended illness. Following her death, Wilbur married Edna (Weaver) Staggs on September 19, 1987. They made their home in Creston, where they were active in church and community affairs, and where they volunteered their time at Greater Community Hospital.
Wilbur and Edna enjoyed spending winters in Texas for a number of years, but they always were ready to be home in the spring to work in their garden, or to start a new project. Wilbur was an accomplished wood worker, building several pieces of furniture, in addition to a harp, a calliope, a dulcimer, a spinning wheel, a loom, and a pool table. He loved the challenge of designing and building things, with some of his designs including a four-wheeled, two-person bike, an exercise treadmill, and a 7 inch telescope.
Following Edna's death in 2007, Wilbur chose to continue living in his own home, and was fiercely insistent that it was his wish to remain independent. He found great companionship in a dog, Minnie, the last in a long line of animals he cared for and loved.
Wilbur was a person of deep faith, affirming that at an early age. He taught youth and adult Sunday School classes for a number of years. He was in attendance at Sunday School and worship services the Sunday before his death. He was a member of the Afton and then the Creston United Methodist Churches, and served on a number of church committees through the years. Wilbur also understood the importance of service, and expressed that through membership in the Lions Club, American Legion, Gideons and United Methodist Men. Highest values to Wilbur were education, patriotism, and loyalty in friendship. He was a generous person who gave freely of time, talent, and treasure. Wilbur loved music, and in spite of not having the advantage of music lessons, was able to teach himself to play the harmonica and the button accordion.
Wilbur was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Helen, on April 15, 1987, and by his wife, Edna, on October 22, 2007. He was also preceded in death by two sisters, Ruth Hultquist and Betty Carlson, and by brothers-in-law Everett Brown, Guy Weaver, and Glen Weaver.
He is also survived by a brother-in-law, Darl Carlson, by several nieces and nephews, and by many friends.

Wednesday, May 08, 2002Asheville, N.C. (May 7, 2002) - East Tennessee State and UNC Asheville completed their three-game mid-week series with a doubleheader this afternoon in Asheville. The Bulldogs got a three-hit complete game performance from Jason Walker on the mound as UNCA took the first game 4-1. The Buccaneers bounced back in the second game behind the pitching of Mike Bauer (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Jackson Simerly (Bluff City, Tenn.) to take a 4-2 decision. East Tennessee State (19-28) drew first blood in the game one, scoring an unearned run in the fourth. With one out Jeremy Terry (Cumberland, Ky.) singled, the Bucs' first hit of the game, but was then forced at second on Brandon Cross' (Bluff City, Tenn.) fielder's choice. Cross reached second when the second baseman's relay got past the first baseman. Cross came around to score the first run of the contest when Mike Giroud's (St. Petersburg, Fla.) grounder went through the Bulldog's shortstop's legs for the second error of the inning. UNCA (20-24) bounced back in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases with no outs. Scott Stotlar followed with a sac fly that tied the game. ETSU got out of trouble, turning its second double play with the bases loaded of the day to end the inning. The Bulldogs scored again in the fifth to take their first lead of the day on an RBI single from Jake McConiga. UNCA loaded the bases again in the sixth with one out and got an RBI single from Roberts to extend the lead to 3-1. Simerly came on in relief of Josh Kite (Greenville, Tenn.), but walked home another run before getting an inning ending double play. That would be all that Walker would need. He threw a complete game three hitter at the Bucs, allowing just one unearned run while striking out five with out issuing a walk. Kite took the loss for ETSU, going 5.1 innings and allowing all four UNCA runs. ETSU started things quickly in the nightcap. After a pair of singles from Terry and Giroud to start the game, Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.) brought in the first run with a single up the middle. After a walk loaded the bases, Scott Rose (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) punched one to right center that scored a pair to make it 3-0 in favor of the Bucs. UNCA wasted no time to score its first runs of the game, getting a pair in the bottom of the inning off Bauer on four straight hits to start the inning. Bauer settled down after the first, not allowing another run until he came out in favor of Simerly in the sixth. He earned his first collegiate win with 5.1 innings of work, scattering nine hits. Simerly retired the five hitters in faced to earn his first save of the season. East Tennessee State will return to Southern Conference action this weekend, hosting Western Carolina in a three-game series. Game one will be Friday, May 10 at Cardinal Park with game time 7:00 p.m.

The Wind Will Carry Us (Bad ma ra khahad bord)
The Engineer and his crew travel from Tehran in a Jeep, looking for the remote mountain village of Siah Dareh, in Iranian Kurdistan, to record a special ritual ceremony that will be determined by the fate of a certain Mrs. Malek. They are met by Farzad, a young boy from the village, who becomes their guide. The locals believe that the crew are archeologists looking for buried treasure in an old cemetery. The crew only plans on staying for a few days, but they remain as Mrs. Malek's health starts improving. Farzad gives reports on Malek's condition. They are waiting for a "grand event" - the death of Mrs. Malek and the macabre village mourning rite that follows it.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.

This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
Some people see science and religion as enemies, at war for leadership in our modern culture. Others see science and religion as completely separate and unrelated facets of life. However, science is not the only source of facts, and religion reaches beyond the realm of values and morals. In fact, religion can have a positive impact on science, such as in the development of modern medical ethics. Many early scientific leaders were devout Christians, as are some scientific leaders today. Science can also enhance the spiritual life of believers. Christians rejoice in scientific discoveries that reveal the glory of God the creator.
(Updated June 27, 2012)
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Science and religion scholar Michael Ruse gives a personal account of his experiences as an author and public speaker on the compatibility of Christianity and biological evolution.
Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Many independent measurements have established that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Geologists have found annual layers in glaciers that can be counted back 740,000 years. Using the known rate of change in radio-active elements (radiometric dating), some Earth rocks have been shown to be billions of years old, while the oldest solar system rocks are dated at 4.6 billion years. Astronomers use the distance to galaxies and the speed of light to calculate that the light has been traveling for billions of years. The expansion of the universe gives an age for the universe as a whole: 13.7 billion years old.
(Updated April 16, 2012)
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?" It suggests that certain arguments for God's existence only push the question of beginnings one step farther back. The Bible and Christian doctrine address this question by defining God as eternal and uncreated, but such answers rarely satisfy nonbelievers. A philosophical response is that God is the ultimate first cause; the atheist is left with a dilemma of what or who that first cause might have been. In the end, an uncaused creator may simply be a more plausible explanation for the universe we live in. Our universe appears to have had a beginning, to be finely tuned for life, and to have a place for love and purpose. These appearances affirm as plausible a prior belief in God.
Fine-tuning refers to the surprising precision of nature's physical constants, and the beginning state of the Universe. To explain the present state of the universe, even the best scientific theories require that the physical constants of nature and the beginning state of the Universe have extremely precise values.

The following discussion may be of interest to you...
Why one meal a day?
Most days I have one meal a day (dinner), though of late I do have something tiny at lunch-time for energy... a few jellybeans or a piece of chocolate perhaps. I also drink coffee.
The Buddha promotes moderation in eating - it is a worthwhile endeavour.
Thanks Retro. I did reread through the thread yesterday (the first time I skimmed it was maybe 3-4 months ago), and it was actually the inspiration for the experiment.
Yesterday, I could tell an immediate difference. The mind was sharper (although the body needed more rest [maybe it's also the cleanse]), the sensations were subtler, the body was moving more briskly.
I went to bed early, and the dreams were pretty darn vivid (deep into the subconscious or unconscious [whatever]), something that I haven't experienced since the retreat.
Definitely will continue this for the next 45 days or so and report my findings.

Long-form content for the distracted audience
shared with you some statistical evidence that people's attention spans are shrinking and their tolerance for long-form content is growing thin. Just consider the most successful new event format of the last several years, the TED conferences, where no presentation is allowed to exceed 18 minutes. Brevity isn't a bad thing. It demands creativity, self-restraint and hard decisions. TED speakers often spend weeks preparing for their 18 minutes on stage. To paraphrase Blaise Pascal, "I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter. I didn't have time to write you a short one." Long-form content still has its place, but maximizing audience size and impact is increasingly a matter of summarizing, teasing and packaging in other formats. Consider the classic 5,000-word research report. Not long ago, such documents were unleashed with a "Big Bang" marketing promotion. If your timing was bad or message off-target, you were out of luck. Today, we would go about a release quite differently:

"Crowd pleasing banana pancakes made from scratch. A fun twist on ordinary pancakes."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
white sugar
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
egg, beaten
1 cup
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
ripe bananas, mashed
Just a tip for fuss free banana mashing... stick them in a zip-lock bag, zip and squeeze! When you're done cut a corner off and you have a pour spout! I do the same for marinades and everything else of the sort! So much cleaner! And less dishes to boot!
The flavor of these were okay, but the texture just did not do it for me. They were very, very, overly moist. On the verge of being mushy feeling, though I made sure to cook them a very long time. Perhaps the poster uses smaller bananas than I did. It would help if the measurement was in cups instead of amount of bananas, since banana size varies so much. I won't make this recipe again.

Amazing pancakes. Definitely the best I'v ever made. I followed another reviews advice and added 1/2t. of vanilla extract. I also used 2T of applesauce instead of the vegetable oil to make it a little healthier. Delicious!!
I have found that by measuring the dry ingredients and then putting them through a shifter makes for fluffy pancakes. I also substitute melted butter for the oil, I mix the liquid ingredients including the egg and then add the liquid mixture to the dry and stir to mixed, add two whole banannas and using a potato masher, mush them well. I use 1/4 cup measure per pancake. For thinner add a bit more milk.
this was a really simple and yummy recipe! i added vanilla like what many reviewers had suggested and it turned out even more delicious. it was just sweet enough for me. but 1 thing to note is really to cook this on a LOW temperature so that the insides of the pancakes gets cooked. it's also less mushy and easier to turn. i learnt this the hard way. the first time i did this i turned the stove on HIGH and the bottom browned really fast. i was struggling to turn it over but the whole thing basically fell apart cos it was still very soft and mushy inside. the bottom ended up black and i had to throw it out and start from a lower temp. other than that it was yummy =) thx for the recipe Andrea
My family loved this recipe but I used self rising flour and omitted the salt and added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. I also omitted the oil and added 2 Tablespoons of applesauce. And for the peanut butter lover I added to a sauce pan 1 cup of each water, sugar & peanut butter best with smooth peanut butter. And brought this to a boil and cooled I used this as the syrup for the pancakes. So I saved a few calories on the pancakes but added a few on the peanut butter syrup. It was well worth it.
Simple, easy and delicious. I add 1 tsp of vanilla, a pinch of cinnamon and sliced almonds and Oh God, even better! My housband likes to top it with whipe cream, ice cream and pieces of banana and strawberry. We also like with jam or baked apple slices
What wonderful pancakes!! I made a plain batch and then a batch with toasted pecans added to the batter. Both excellent! The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is that I adjusted the recipe. I read the "mushy" complaints and decided to only use one banana. They were perfect and had plenty of banana flavor. Everything else in the recipe stayed the same. I will say that it was a large banana so maybe that makes a difference. However, I try to reserve 5 stars for outstanding recipes that DON'T need tweaking.
