Why Hong Kong?
"As business students we are constantly reading about the rise of the Chinese economy: rapid economic growth, infrastructure development, the rise of the middle class, and the increase in effective government reforms. We also hear about the terrible factory conditions, rampant pollution, debilitating political corruption, and questionable business practices. China is a hot topic, no question about it, but all the information we are exposed to is second hand…I wanted to live it, feel it, breathe it, and make it my own. I chose to spend a semester studying in one of the top business programs in Hong Kong because it seemed like the best investment for my future."
--Ben Kwiatkowski, 2011 MPA Hong Kong participant
"Students studying in our global economy can gain a lot from the study abroad experience" says Ben Kwiatkowski, 2011 MPA Hong Kong participant. The five-week programs are designed to develop the practice of taking an international perspective on accounting and supply chain management and teach students how to approach solving complex international business problems. Local company visits, lectures from an impressive line-up of local faculty, and a chance to examine current issues in international accounting and operations management are only the tip of the iceberg.
"Eating the local food, walking the crowded streets, surviving the packed subways, discussing in class, listening to lectures, visiting local companies, and building lasting relationships made this an invaluable experience. And now, '"Made in China"' has taken on a whole new meaning."
--Ben Kwiatkowski, 2011 MPA Hong Kong student
"The advantage of taking courses abroad is that you receive a whole new level of understanding because you actually get to see what you are learning in class put into practice. Also, you really get to know the McCombs professor that comes to Hong Kong and can always use them as a mentor during the program and throughout the rest of your college career."
--Berkley Alwin, 2010 Hong Kong Supply Chain Management student
Symphony of Lights
Every night at 8 p.m., there is a light show in the center of Hong Kong where there is an introduction of all the buildings that make up its impressive skyline. The narration is in English on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. To see the show, go to the Avenue of Stars to hear both music and narration. The show can also be seen and heard in restaurants up on Victoria's Peak.
Victoria's Peak
Take the tram up to Victoria's Peak which is the highest mountain on Hong Kong Island. Up at the top, there is a shopping center and many restaurants that overlook Hong Kong. There is also a sky terrace where you can get a 360 degree view of HK. The best time to go up to Victoria's Peak is a little bit before it gets dark so you can see HK lit up and catch the Symphony of Lights.
Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha)
Climb atop the 268 stairs to get an up close view of Big Buddha. Tian Tan Buddha is the largest outdoor bronze Big Buddha statue in the world. You'll have to take a cable car to where the statue is but you will view great scenery on your way there. At the top, you will find many shops and restaurants.
Ladies' Market, Jade Market, Temple Street Night Market, and Stanley Market
These are some of the most popular markets that you will find in HK. Don't let the name Ladies' Market fool you; there is plenty of stuff there for guys as well. These markets are great places to find souvenirs, knock-off or real designer items, clothes, shoes, and much more. Be prepared to bargain!
Cheung Sha Beach
There are many beaches to choose from; however Cheung Sha Beach is much more secluded and is a great place to meet locals. This beach is also very unique as it is surrounded by hills and mountains and it's not uncommon to see a herd of cows just roaming around. Cheung Sha is a little farther away than others, but is a short bus ride away from Big Buddha.
High Tea at the Peninsula Hotel
Experience Hong Kong's British influence during high tea at the Peninsula Hotel. This five-star hotel offers a wide variety of teas and finger foods for you to enjoy. After high tea, visit the Felix bar on the top floor to watch the Symphony of Lights.
Lan Kwai Fong
Lan Kwai Fong is where most of HK's nightlife takes place. Be sure to go there for Canada D'eh where the Canadians in HK host a fun-filled night.
Hip Sushi
If you're a fan of sushi, this sushi bar is the place for you! For dessert, you should try Mochi which can also be found at Sha Tin.

LEON — The Creston/Orient-Macksburg bowling teams got a sneak preview of what the Regional Tournament will look like in Leon on Feb. 14, when they traveled to Leon to take on Central Decatur on Saturday.
Head coach Ron Pendegraft called Saturday's meet a learning lesson, and said his team "survived" the meet, coming away with wins from both sides.
The Panther boys defeated Central Decatur 2216-1345, while the girls had a much closer match with the Cardinals, winning 2134-2014.
"Both teams won, which is good," Pendegraft said. "It was very difficult. Lane conditions were inconsistent and kids had a tough time figuring out what to throw and how to throw it. It was tough."
Pendegraft said his team had a very low spare percentage, and that first shots were going into the gutters.
"They struggled, but they kind of kept after it and kept trying to make the shots and get through it," Pendegraft said. "I guess more than anything, we survived the meet more than anything else."
Scores on both sides were lower than what the Panthers have normally thrown this year, because of the lane conditions.
Chantz Davidson led the Panthers with a two-game series of 338, while Josh Sawtelle rolled a high game of 185 on his way to a series of 330. Darin Hatfield finished with a 292, while Blake Eddy contributed a 277 and Kenny Wynn tallied a 273. Jacob Wolfe finished with a 205.
Anna Wilson led the Panther girls with a two-game of 325 while Devon Eddy finished close behind with a 316 while rolling the high game of 181. Emily Davidson finished with a 294 and Shaylen Kipp rolled a 282. Charley Parcher finished at 255 and Madison Hance rolled a 224.
"It kind of opened their eyes as to what to expect when we do go down there for Regionals," Pendegraft said. "All of the surprise will be gone. Now, they'll have a little better idea of what they need to do to make adjustments. It was a tough day, but we learned a lot. Sometimes the best lessons are learned with a little bit of pain, and we definitely had some pain on Saturday."
The Panthers host two home meets before the Feb. 14 Regional Tournament in Leon.
The Panthers host Lewis Central and Norwalk on Saturday, and then host Denison on senior day on Feb. 9.

How do YOU define philosophy?
What do you consider the [broad] topic and subject of philosophy to be?
Rules? Procedures? Methods? - What are they?
Make your own definition or use another person's you feel is an amazing explanation of philosophy. Got a favorite school of philosophy that seems to work best in most circumstances? Talk about it!
Post a; quote, poem, link to article, blog or anything you can think of!
Be; artistic, creative, innovative and/or practical
The most important question is: "How do YOU define philosophy?"
Dec 7 2012: Read Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and them move ahead from there...
My anecdotal definitionÉ : It is moral thinking and idealistic wisdom sitting on fat bums with no desire of action.Dec 4 2012: Philosophy was invented so that everybody could be right...... or wrong??
Dec 4 2012: I like philosophy that allows me to be right AND wrong at the same time :)Dec 4 2012: Vincenzo and Natasha,
I agree with both of you:>)
Actually.....truth be known...and I know this is "right".....
I think anything Nicholas writes has a very broad base of philosophy, intertwined with logic and rationalization, excluding all rules, because there is no point in rules, which are simply meant to be broken regardless of any rule to the contrary, with or without practical application.
Dec 4 2012: That's a really nice compliment Colleen, thank you.
Dec 5 2012: You are welcome.....I knew you would understand:>)Dec 5 2012: Hi, Colleen !
Is there any truth different from opinion ? :)
".truth be known "
Maybe.. yes and of course, but it can't be told, you name it and it's gone .That's why i feel comfortable in between, ' right' and 'wrong' , i believe truth is somewhere there :)
Dec 5 2012: Hi Natasha!
You are "right"!Dec 5 2012: :)
Socrates : What Plato is about to say is false.
Plato : Socrates has spoken truly.
Here we have the lier paradox in reverse, but it tells about the same : the limitation of logic :)
Dec 5 2012: Dear Natasha,
You get more and more philosophical every day:>)Dec 3 2012: The love of wisdom and knowledge that is expressed by the continous search for it.Dec 10 2012: Philosophy is art of asking question..Dec 10 2012: I was planning on waiting for more responses, but not many more are coming in...
I would define philosophy in two parts: 1. the individual and 2. the subject.
1. Philosophy is the process of evaluating Isms (belief systems and religions alike) and finding parallels in order to create both a personal philosophic lens in reality, and an argument for what is consistent in reality.
2. Philosophy is defining terms and defending them.
What 'works' is great for knowledge (pragmatism) as well as recognizing that we have no choice but to be subjective (existentialism). In respect to what works and that I am subjective... Any topic in philosophy (logic, epistemology, etc.) are dual entities... A personal and a subject. The personal is your thoughts, and the subject is what is consensual among those who are in the said subject's debate.
Often I see people take the subject of logic and want to integrate those rules into their personal logic.. this makes for what I call the atomistic delusion... what you immediately hear/read is what is going to argued/disputed; the things said, are the only thing which are to be disputed. Well people do not work like that, when we say something there are personal philosophies behind what we say (what ever they may be) and if someone is being atomistic about what we say at face value, they are not allowing us to argue with our entire philosophic lens. The cure for such atomistic delusion is holistic inquiry; ask questions about what the other means until you can get to an atomistic point to argue, do not just argue the first or first few claim(s) they make because there exist a world of philosophy behind it...
I am interested in how others have defined philosophy in how they pursue thought and not how they think everyone does pursue thought... Anyone figure out why?Dec 9 2012: A degree to get if you don't want a job.
Dec 9 2012: How serious are you Tomas?Dec 7 2012: is the totality of expreince one undergo moraly,socialy& emotionalyDec 7 2012: Philosophy is playing at talking.
Ambrose Bierce defines it as a noun.
He says it is a route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.Dec 5 2012: philosophy is a explaination of every situation. it teachs you how to live in this cruel world.Dec 5 2012: Bread, not philosphyDec 4 2012: Philosophy is the way to make sense of LIFE.Dec 4 2012: Philosophy: The search for understanding of values and reality using chiefly speculative rather than observational means.Dec 4 2012: For me philosophy is a kind of a bridge between rational and irrational/intuitive.Dec 4 2012: Philosophy is the ability to draw the line in the sand and justify beliefs using simple or complex methods. Philosophy utilizes pseudo- scientific methodology and in many ways when philosophy transcends to science it is the highest tribute towards the creator.Dec 4 2012: Human beings are still discovering. There is much mystery. A definition of philosophy which seems to me to be right is: A process for reconciling material facts with spirit realities.
Since we humans do not know everything about either, we are forced into conjecture, rationalization, speculation, and whatever. Bundle it all in thinking persons' experiences as seeking truth.
Humankind has always asked questions and never has man been fully satisfied at knowing all. What seems right and good in your thoughts is partially due to thinking about sources. Material realities end in a philosophy of a first source or cause. Spirit action in mind asks about the WHY and the VALUE of what is and what is to be.
We can't find all answers, so we need men and women who are willing to think and choose according to what one sees as valuable and worth keeping!
Philosophy is part of the process of discovery! We can be grateful for this privilege of philosophizing!Dec 4 2012: My definition of philosophy is a process of trying to understand the world and the universe by doubting established belief systems (having doubts sounds negative, but it can actually be extremely powerful).
By doubting, it enables a broadening of my own perspective on life, which then leads to focusing in on those things that go on to reveal themselves to be the most important. This is difficult, because by jettisoning established wisdoms and beliefs, some of the answers I arrive at can get a bit crazy and seemingly lacking in conventional rationality - yet rightly or wrongly it is something I have a very strong urge to stick with.
I would like to think that my own philosophical thought processes come from the part of the brain that is spontaneous and creative - rather than the part that gets strait-jacketed into following linear thought processes that are so often lacking in essential context.
Lejan .
Dec 4 2012: Philosophy to me is the luxury of spare time, in which I reflect, project, construct and test how and why 'the world' resonates within me and to tune my strings for inner harmony.Dec 3 2012: All branches of thought - religion, philosophy, science, even mathematics - proceed from first principles that are unprovable.
- 0
Philosophy is a system of thought which attempts to define truth based on logic, without relying on any of the other aforementioned systems.Dec 3 2012: The word "philosophy" comes from the Greek which literally means "love of wisdom". It could refer to the beliefs held by a person. When we say that is his philosophy I interpert that as meaning that he can make a rational argument in support of the subject. In philosophy we do not have to prove only argue support.Dec 3 2012: my attempt is:
philosophy is the kind of rational thinking that is not based on observations.
in this sense, natural sciences are not philosophy, because they deal with observations. religion is not philosophy, as it is not rational. a weird consequence of this definition is that according to it mathematics is a branch of philosophy. but i'm okay with that. i don't know any meaningful ways to separate mathematics from the rest of philosophy.
Dec 4 2012: You are correct to call math irrational. The rules of math demand that one factorial (1 x 0) is one, and that repeatedly dividing a whole number by 2 will eventually lead to a quotient of zero. These "agreed upon assumptions" are not rational in that they are self-contradictory, but the whole system collapses without them. A syllogism: Science cannot exist without math; math is philosophy; science is philosophy.
Dec 4 2012: eeer. we have a problem here. i said math is rational.
Dec 4 2012: Search as I might I see no such expression in your post. The two examples of self-conflicting math "rules" show it to be inconsistent with reason, aka irrational.Dec 4 2012: formal logic?
A: philosophy is the kind of rational thinking
B: mathematics is a branch of philosophy
Dec 4 2012: A: Rational is like pregnancy, there is no "kind of pregnant" or "kind of rational".
B. By convention math is one of the sciences, not philosophy.Dec 4 2012: it is not kind of. it is a kind of.
Dec 4 2012: OK. But there is not "a kind" of rational, there is only rational and irrational. It's a litmus sort of deal. Philosophy is irrational but may have costituent features which are rational.Dec 4 2012: okay. last attempt. the field of rational thinking can be split into two subfields: those that deal with the observable reality, and those that are independent of it. the former is called natural sciences, and the latter is called philosophy. no more on that, because i'm totally bored out.
Dec 4 2012: Sorry I bored you before I was able to correct you. YAWN!
Evan S
Dec 5 2012: One factorial (1!) is not the same as (1 X 0). Factorials are the product of all positive integers less than or equal to the number. Since there are no positive integers equal or less than one, 1! becomes an empty product, which is 1.
- 0
As for the dividing by two enough to get zero, I don't know where that came from. I can only guess it is in reference to calculators/computers rounding after a certain point.
Dec 5 2012: That's why ancient Rome passed on the zero concept. If zero is not a number then get rid of it. Wait, what? Zero is the starting point of all of math, we can't get rid of it. The science nerds have agreed that anything less than 10 to the minus fiftieth is considered zero. That is calling a non-zero a zero and is self-contradicting and illogical. Math is philosophy. Thanks Mr. Steiner.
Evan S
Dec 5 2012: I wasn't able to find any decrees by the science nerds but I do see the need to cut off a number after so many decimals. This would make some numbers effectively zero, not actually zero.
- 0
But I remember the recent conversation about zero not being particularly productive and will avoid going down that path again in this thread.
Best to you.Dec 3 2012: Philosophy is the cure for belief systems. It is love of wisdom, it is the aknowledgement that knowledge is hard work.
It's also the art of defining, which is to exteriorise one's understanding of something in a way that manifests an honnest atempt to share this understanding (contrary to hiding behind terms to feign knowledgability).Dec 3 2012: How to define philosophy? That is both the easiest and hardest question that I've fallen across. Simplest way to describe it is the fact that it is an art and a science. It's mostly because of the fact that much like art, philosophy can be diverse in what it covers and how it covers those topics. Science is diverse in what it studies, but there's always a defined method of study and experimentation while art shifts from person to person. However, science, like philosophy, seeks to make sense out of the world while art reflects the world - regardless of how abstract it is. Science explains the world, art explains internal logic of each piece but not the world or abstract concept it seeks to convey.
Philosophy does all of this.

Novak Djokovic, the top-ranked ATP star, showcased the benefits of the new HEAD Graphene Speed tennis racquet today by hitting a HEAD ATP tennis ball that travelled faster than an Audi R8 LMS GT3 race car, driven by Australian GT racecar driver, Dean Grant, at Melbourne's Sandown racetrack.
Always jovial, Djokovic waited anxiously on the track after the green flag was waved to signal the start of the ultimate speed challenge. As the Audi R8 sped towards Novak Djokovic, he simultaneously served the ball. The ball crossed the finish line with split seconds to spare before the race car followed as Novak applauded the new racquet, leaving Djokovic undefeated once again.
Graphene is a unique material consisting of a single two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms with exceptional properties. Although it's extremely lightweight, it has a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel. The integration of Graphene in the racquet shaft allowed HEAD engineers to reduce weight in the middle part of the tennis racquet and shift it to functionally more relevant areas in the grip and the head instead. As a result, the racquet becomes easier to swing, and with less effort more power is generated.
A new HEAD viral film featuring Djokovic trying the new HEAD racquet in a quite unusual secret testing session was also premiered today. The film can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/headtennis .
The new Speed racquet will be available in retail stores around the world from today.

3M 845 Book Tape is a tough crystal-clear transparent tape with a long-aging, synthetic adhesive that conforms readily to book contours and flexes with cover movements. Excellent for repairing, reinforcing, protecting and covering bound edges and surfaces. Use on books, magazines, pamphlets, record album jackets and more. The transparent polypropylene backing has excellent clarity which doesn't hide title information or printing and saves time and money by eliminating relabeling. It is tough, flexible, resists abrasion
and cracking, and is conformable which reduces rebinding or replacement costs. Its synthetic adhesive is long aging and will not discolor or dry out so it won't deteriorate with time causing
possible subsequent repair.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Comments about Eton Rukus Portable Solar Bluetooth® Speaker System:
I do love this little thing but use it when swimming laps and the sound isn't quite loud enough on some podcasts for me to hear well throughout the 30' length. I'm going to get another one, however, and place it on the other side of the pool. I have a lot of dogs and goats running around and it's very safe to have around the pool, as scuffles could land it in there.

text: Every feature of the CSI Saddlepad system is designed with your horse's comfort and performance in mind. The system works with all types of saddles including traditional treed saddles, flex panel and treeless saddles. At the heart of the system is the revolutionary CSI Flex-Plate. First and foremost, this in-pad plate increases the contact area of the bars in a treed saddle. This spreads the pressure of the saddle and the rider's weight out over a larger area which in turn reduces or eliminates pinch and pressure points. (With a treeless saddle, the CSI Flex-Plate actually provides you with a highly flexible weight and pressure distribution system that reduces soreness and fatigue.) But that's not the only benefit of the CSI Flex-plate — it goes beyond just simple weight distribution and can actually help your horse achieve a greater range of motion increasing their overall performance level.

5. Virginia
6. Right where I'm at. To many friends and family to leave now.

9. Math and people skills. Still working on the people skills!
10. This line of work is not for everyone. The working conditions can be hard on your body. The most important thing is to listen to your instructor and any old timer you work around. Don't be a know-it-all. Most people don't like that. Give it a shot what do you have to loose?
Not a union here.
Have workmans comp.
Safety is a big concern. I have had cut fingers burn spots on my hands and arms for as long as I can remember. Started a few fires, too. Nothing out of control.

Oh boy, it has been a very rough January. And an incredible February. And thanks the gods (all of them as I do not follow any specific one) I am still alive. Sweden has never been as dark, cold and grey as this year and our health has suffered from it. But, hey, I am getting well again and also my lust for life is getting back. Which means: let's bake.
So I opened one of my bread baking books and my attention was captured by an Italy-inspired bread with a super interesting formula including leftover polenta and corn flour, so much that ca. 50% of the bread is actually made of corn and therefore it contains almost 50% less gluten than regular bread. The recipe for this yellow and moist bread brought my mind back to a dear memory, that of pane cunzato, seasoned bread I used to get in very sunny Sicily. In the little island of Levanzo, to be precise, the smallest of the Egadi Islands, just outside the Trapani coast. Every morning during my short but unforgettable stay, I walked up the sunny little streets to get the freshly baked bread, sliced and seasoned with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, salt and oregano. The Sicilian bread was made with a coarse semola di grano (the same used to make cous cous, which is so very present in the Egadi Islands) rather than corn, but the two breads are very similar in color, consistency and taste. SCROLL DOWN FOR THE RECIPE.

6:9These are the descendants of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God. 10And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12And God saw that the earth was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon the earth.
13And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence because of them; now I am going to destroy them along with the earth. 14Make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. 15This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and put the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17For my part, I am going to bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. 18But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19And of every living thing, of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind shall come in to you, to keep them alive. 21Also take with you every kind of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them."
22Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
7:24And the waters swelled on the earth for one hundred fifty days.
8:14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15Then God said to Noah, 16"Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth." 18So Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives. 19And every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out of the ark by families.
9:8Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9"As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, 10and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. 11I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."
12God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." 17God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
The Peanuts characters Linus and Lucy are standing at the window watching the rain. Lucy says, "If it doesn't stop raining everything will be washed away."
"Oh no!" says Linus. "Genesis chapter 9 says that never again will God wash everything away."
"Thank you." says Lucy, "that is a great comfort to me."
Linus replies, "Sound theology will do that."
Now, some of you didn't laugh at that. And with good reason, I'd say. The irony in that cartoon is two fold. First, when you are in the middle of a monstrous storm, an old story recorded some 3,000 years ago really isn't all that comforting. But secondly, and possibly more disappointing, just as frequently as not "sound theology," at least on the surface, can seem anything but comforting.
As a child I remember the Noah story being on of my favorite stories. I could pass endless hours drawing pictures of a large boat with an old man wearing a rain hat hanging over the stern. On a side note, I have to admit to being remarkably confused about how Noah actually put all those animals on one boat when I couldn't even think of all the animals, more-or-less draw them on my sheet of paper.
If we think about it, we all really love this story. How many children's rooms, across the US are decorated with animals, arks and rainbows all painted in vibrant pastels? Somehow there is something comforting about it. Somehow, there is something beautiful in the promise for the future captured in an acrylic rainbow that has been painted in an exaggerated arch just over the baby's crib.
I'd have to say my perspective has change considerably since my naïve childhood. As I come to these texts again, the reality of the chaos comes crashing through with every imagined wave. This is not a pretty story and I'm not talking about how far humanity had fallen.
Place this story in modern times. What would be the newspaper headline? One noted reporter penned this headline for the Noah Flood Event, "God Destroys the World – One Family Survives." Sounds like the perfect chair-rail border for the little toddler's room doesn't it – "God Destroys the World." No...it really doesn't, does it?
Looking at the Flood Event from a more analytical perspective gave me a new insight about how horrifying this story really is on multiple levels. Let's just start with God. Up until this point, God has given humanity one commandment – "go forth and multiply." Really, read the first five chapters of Genesis – "go forth and multiply," that's it. There is no, "thou shalt not kill," "thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife," not even a "don't eat shellfish." So, seemingly, without any real justification God condemns all of humanity, except for one family.
If you look at the texts in its entirety you can even reasonably make the argument, and some have, that God is behaving like an adolescent. "I don't like how things are going. I'm taking my ball and going home." God doesn't like what the way people are acting, even though they had never been giving anything by which to measure what God expected of them. So without warning God reaches into the sky, opens the drain that holds back the deluge and goes home. No warning, except for telling his best friend…"you might want to build a boat."
Now if that wasn't bad enough, after it is all said and done. After countless humans and animals spin and whirl in the chaotic waters of the flood and their bloated bodies finally come to a rest in what must of been some horribly unspeakable places, God seems to feel regret, like a child being scolded by a parent, "I promise I will never, ever, ever do it again…look I drew a rainbow for you." The reality of the chaos comes crashing through with every imagined wave.
Noah, in my book, is no better off in this story. Noah, the one person in the entire face of the planet who was found to be "righteous," has a conversation with God. God says, " you should build a boat. I'm going to send some rain…well, a lot of rain…ok, a whole, whole lot of rain. Enough to wipe out everything…except you and your family and a few of every animal." Now, what does Noah do? Well, by the judgment of God, Noah was the only "righteous" person on the planet, so presumably Noah argues to save the innocent like Abraham argued with God for the lives of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah...right? Wrong. Noah builds the ark, somehow crams millions of varied species into it, and follows his family onto the ship as God closes the rest of the world out, leaving them to deal with the chaos that was to follow.
It is at this point that the reality of the chaos comes crashing through with every imagined wave. It must have been horrifying as the rest of the world came to grip with the reality of what was happening. The floodgates had open. Crazy old Noah wasn't looking so crazy any more. Can you imagine sitting on the inside of the boat and doing nothing? The horrific scream of friends and neighbors, the crackling of fingernails bending back on end trying to pry into the one place of refuge in the chaos of the world. Can you imagine sitting on the inside of the boat and doing nothing? I can't. The headline would read, "God Destroys the World – One Family Survives."
Now that, my friends, would make some baby room. Swirls of water painted in deep blues and black. Each wave delicately decorated with a slowly swelling body of one of the millions who did not make it. Resting heavily on the wall just over the crib is a monstrosity of a boat, completely closed in and along the edges of the door are the traces of fingers that never made it in. On the other side of the room the swells are beginning to subside. Carcasses rest in the trees, muck and debris are beginning to find less than convenient resting places and you begin to think how good it is that you cannot smell what it must have been like. And in the far corner of the room, scratched out in crayon, almost in an after thought is a small rainbow and scribbled just below the rainbow is the simple word, "Sorry." The reality of the chaos comes crashing through with every painted wave. God Destroys the World – One Family Survives.
Noah's actions remind me of so many of the choices we as a species have made. Whether it is the Holocaust, slavery, the taking of Native American land, Rwanda, or Darfur we continue to make the same horrific choices made by Noah in this Flood Story. One of the best recent depictions I can remember of this was in the movie "Hotel Rwanda." If you have not seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it. Let me set the scene: Rwanda was being consumed in the flood of its own tears and the blood of its own people. Diplomats from America and European countries, who were in Rwanda and had done what little they could to help, begin to see that the tide is not turning and that the deluge of chaos is about to come crashing through in waves of violence. In an astounding piece of cinematic brilliance, the diplomats (those who are thought to be righteous) load themselves into a small bus (a bus eerily shaped like an ark) in the middle of a rainstorm. The bus pulls out of the oncoming flood without as much as a single Rwandan on it. The reality of the chaos comes crashing through with every wave of violence.
Genesis 9 verse 11 God said, "Never again shall all flesh be cut off by a flood." Never again? And for that matter why couldn't God make that promise without the "again," "Never shall all flesh be cut off by a flood." But even now it happens, a flood of hatred cut off the Jews, a flood of greed and entitlement cut off the American Indians, a flood of arrogance and unjustified superiority cut off millions of Africans who were forced into the slave trade, a flood of tears and blood washed away millions of Rwandans…and today a flood flows in Darfur. We? We continue to play the roll of Noah gathering on our boats of pride, privilege and superiority and somehow imagine that in our righteousness God has entitled us to it and closes the door behind for our protection in a sort of divine seal of approval for our lack of action.
The Flood Story is more than that. There are bigger lessons to be learned. In the Flood Story we do have a God acting (in some ways) like an adolescent, but God hasn't been dealing with this creation thing for long at this point. If we are made in the likeness of God and we have to learn how to handle something new, why could it not be the case that God is learning here? In the end, God regrets that the flood happened, promising to never do it again. What is regret, if it is not a result of learning? I regret that I made the choices I made, but I have learned something from it and will not do it again. God learned that destruction was not the solution. The thing to never loose sight of is that in all of it, God's anger, disappointment, response, regret and promise – in all of it God has one underlying desire – God wants to save the world.
We can also learn from Noah – the one righteous person left. Noah never went to God on behalf of those who were to suffer through the floods. Noah was disengaged from the world. He had built this amazing ark, designed by the hands of God and he kept it all to himself and his family.
Floods happen on a daily basis in this world - some are the Darfurs of the world, some are floods of economic oppression, floods of fear, floods of social stigmas and even real floods that devastate entire coastlines as they wash out thousands of lives. We call ourselves, the people of God. Are we? Do we live our lives that way? Have we learned from the stories? Do we understand that destruction is not the answer? It is not about destruction…it is about construction. Building arks of refuge in a world of floods. Did we learn not to shut the world out, but to bring the world in? Can we look into the swirling chaos of today's world and honestly make that Rainbow Promise, "You will not be cut off by the floods. You will survive." Has our church become an ark of refuge or have we huddled into our refuge and assumed that God has closed the door behind us?
Building arks. Surviving Floods. Rainbow promises. We ARE the people of God. In our baptisms God has claimed us by name. Before we were even born God cherished every fiber of our beings – all of us, everyone in the world. Now we have to get busy.
Did we learn not to shut the world out, but to bring the world in? Did we learn from Noah? From Rwanda? The answer is important. Watch the movie "Hotel Rwanda." Then read about Darfur. Have we learned? Can we look into the swirling chaos of today's world and honestly make that Rainbow Promise, "You will not be cut off by the floods. You will survive." I say, we have work to do. Building arks. Surviving Floods. Rainbow promises.

Edit: I want to apologize for an error I made in this poster. Just before we finalized the list for the poster, I received word that Chili's Rockwell wanted to join Yolanda Action Weekend. I decided to add them to the poster so that we could include them in our promotion. This information turned out to be false and I clearly should have waited for their confirmation. I understand Chili's ran their own benefit which was already finished. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
Thank you to all of the local food community who volunteered their businesses to raise money for the Philippine Red Cross. Here is the latest list of participants.
If you are dining out this weekend we ask that you do it where your money will also help the victims of Typhoon Yolanda. We promise there are plenty of options. If you want to connect with other diners who are supporting the cause, upload your food pics to your favorite social networks with the hash tags #YolandaActionWeekend and #ReliefPH so we can all connect.

Marion County Citizen Corps Council Mission
To establish a coordinated volunteer network, to recruit and maximize the potential of every Marion County citizen through education and training in order to strengthen our ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. The Marion County Citizen Corps partners with law enforcement, fire and medical personnel, emergency management representatives, volunteer organizations, local officials, business and school district leaders, and the community at large to form the Marion County Citizen Corps Council.
What is Citizen Corps?
Following the tragic events on September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush launched USA Freedom Corps to capture the spirit of service that emerged throughout the nation following the terrorist attacks.
Citizen Corps, a vital component of USA Freedom Corps and supported by state and local government officials, was created to coordinate volunteer activities that make our communities safer, stronger and better prepared to respond to any emergency situation. Citizen Corps provides opportunities for people to participate in a range of measures to safeguard their families, homes and communities from threats of crime, terrorism, and disasters of all kinds.Fore more information about Citizen Corps, look at the National Citizen Corps Web site:www.citizencorps.gov.
Citizen Corps brings together community leaders to form Citizen Corps Councils. These Councils tailor activities to the community by developing and implementing a local strategy so that every American can participate in homeland security. Citizen Corps promotes community and family safety through outreach efforts in education and training and by encouraging every individual to take part in emergency preparedness and safety activities. Citizen Corps encourages Americans to build a safer, stronger, and better-prepared community.
Administered by the Department of Homeland Security, Citizen Corps represents five programs that provide opportunities for Americans to directly participate in efforts to improve homeland security. These programs include Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), Neighborhood Watch/USA on Watch, Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) and Fire Corps.
About the Five Core Programs
The Fire Corps Program promotes the use of citizen advocates to enhance the capacity of resource-constrained fire and rescue departments at all levels. Through the use of citizen advocates, Fire Corps creates a vital link between fire services and citizens who want to make a difference in their community.

Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
was really quick and easy. seemed a little dry half way through baking process, so I melted about 1/4 butter and drizzled it on them after stirring them around so they wouldn't stick. my family all loved this, will be making it again.
I think that if you cut the potatoes smaller, like bite sized, it would be better. I quartered my potatoes and found that it still had a big potato flavor that was kind of bland. I also had to increase the baking time to make sure that the potatoes were cooked all the way thru.

perfect potatoes every time. however i used combo of canola oil and olive oil instead of veggie oil...definitely solved the dry issue
Original Ranch Roasted Potatoes is delicious! I actually used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and the results were amazing. I'm planning on taking this to the in-law's house for our big Thanksgiving feast!
This is a great basic recipe. It's so versatile you can doctor it almost any way with spices of your choice. Here is what I did. I used 1/4 cup of Canola oil because that's what I had on hand. I think I will use EVOO next time. I cut the potatoes up into bite size pieces. I had forgotten the ranch mix at the store so I ended up using Lipton dry onion soup mix in place of the ranch. Which I'm glad I did it was delicious! I also used about a teaspoon of Rosemary, a tablespoon of Garlic powder, and sprinkled dried chives over the potatoes when they were on the cookie sheet. I lined my cookie sheet with foil and sprayed the foil with pam. Bake for 20 min at 450 and another 20 min at 350. I think it would work better to kind of stir the potatoes at the first 20 min mark but I forgot. Either way they were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The taste was to die for, even my husband who is an extremely picky eater asked me to make these again. I will definitely try with the ranch mix next time. Like I said this recipe is so versatile you can try almost any seasoning and it turns out wonderful. Definitely a 5 star recipe!
I loved this one the only change I made was I used sweet potato's instead and it was so good
I like to use a homemade ranch dressing mix to keep the sodium lower. If you don't have red potatoes, you can also use baking potatoes. Just cut them in half and then cut them into wedges (think jo-jo potatoes). I like to serve this with homemade ranch dip for extra ranch flavor.
Yummy, simple, tasty...I love those three words, and they describe this recipe quite well. I agree with another person who posted though...olive oil and canola oil instead of veggie oil.

I own five pair of Samoas for work and casual wear, two of which I retired because I wore them so much. The shoes are extremely durable, I worked in a warehouse and wore these shoes to work everyday that's why I had to retire 2 of them due to excessive work load on them. I constantly got compliments on them and still do. Samoas are really comfortable and are perfect for people for wider feet. The construction is awesome and I find that the more they are worn the more comfortable they get. The tread on the Samos are pretty cool trefoils designs but it seems on all my pair of these shoes the sole wears down before anything else... of course after several yyyearss of wear.. just saying.. :) ... read more
I was looking for something a little less running shoe for work. I saw several people wearing these on a recent business trip and decided to give them a try. Very comfortable, pretty good arch support. ... read more
I love adidas! No matter the style, I know that when I order my size shoe, it will fit perfectly every time. My order was placed on a Sunday. I paid for 2 day shipping. My order arrived on Tuesday. They didn't make some lame excuse or have any small print saying I'd need to allow for processing. The only thing that worried me a little was that they didn't charge my card until after the order was received. The shoes are wonderful. My favourite style of adidas is the trainer type, so these are marvelous. I've had SL72s, Country, and a few other styles and the Samoas fit right in. I couldn't be happier with my order. And I will order from adidas.com again! Thanks so very much! ... read more
My 13yr old son loves these shoes. He wears a size 14 (in men) shoe. I order these shoe online on a Sat. with standard shipping and we received them Tuesday afternoon. Now that's what I call fast & easy service. Thanks Adidas!! ... read more
I had a pair of these shoes when I was in grade school and to have another pair after all these years feels great. They have a timeless classic design and feel and always look clean. My only critique is that they are a bit narrow, but I also have wide feet. A wide size option would be a good fix for that. ... read more
I owned 2 pairs of these 6 years ago, and after a few disappointing shoe choices in recent years, I decided to return to the best shoes I've ever worn. After wearing them for one day, they fit like a glove. The leather outside is even softer than I remember. In terms of durability, I wore these everyday for a year each of the previous times I owned them, and I'm expecting the same or better from this pair since I'll be wearing them slightly less frequently. The sizing was consistent with all of my other pairs of adidas shoes including casual, running, and tennis. They run a little narrower than your average shoe, just how I like my shoes, but they will certainly stretch. ... read more
The shoes were just a little too narrow, and run just a bit too small. If getting these, I'd recommend getting maybe 1/2 to 1 size larger. My foot is a little bit wider, so I think getting a size larger should remedy the problem. They seem to run just a little small, so I'd recommend the larger size for ANYBODY if you want a comfortable fit, and don't want your toes getting too close to hitting the edge of the shoe. The sole has awesome cushioning, so once I get the right size, I expect this shoe will feel great! ... read more
My son was specific with asking for the "Samoa Brand" Adidas, because ALL of the other kids were wearing them & they looked hot! I promised to purchase the shoes pending his grades... After my son put the shoes on, he smiled from ear to ear. He said they fit like a glove. Because of his enthusiasm about the shoes made me try them out for myself. The Samoa's feel great! The leather was soft, it truly does fit like a glove. ... read more
I have AA-13 narrow foot, this shoe fit like a glove. The sole is well cushioned firm heel cup, and plenty of toe box. The shoe is light on the foot. Hardly any break in time, The style is old school classic. Great comfort, will purchase this shoe again. I wear this shoe for walking and coaching on the baseball field,and light running. ... read more
Was really disappointed when the original Rom was discontinued (showing my age,right?). A little narrow at first, but once broken in fit like a glove. Really light and comfortable. I'm a flooring contractor who's on my knees all day so the extended rubber at the toe is a great feature to keep the toes from wearing out. Too bad they don't offer blue stripes like the old Roms ... read more
I have been wearing Samoa shoes for the past 5 years. I typically buy two white/black pairs at a time and they last about 2 years holding up to some intense cross-training: 1. Durable leather uppers that resist scuffing when doing plyometric programs (i.e. box jumps). 2. Bullet proof toe caps for planks, spider-man pushups and mountain climber exercises. 3. The original insoles are good, but I do wear Superfeet insoles which make them great for treadmill runs and sprints. 4. Flat soles for supporting heavy weight lifting. 5. I also have been using Samoas for spin class. Again, the flat soles and toe caps are perfect for pedal stirrups. No need for me to buy expensive "clip in" biking shoes! So, through the week's various workouts I wear just one set of comfortable Samoas that look great with the right Adidas workout apparel. The only drawback is that during certain exercises (i.e. mountain climbers) my heels tend to come out of the shoes occasionally. But I blame my trainer for working me right out of my shoes! ... read more
I have been purchasing Samoa for about 8 years now and never really had a problem until the most recent pair I received. The insole and the liner were not glued into place. If I am going to spend money on a product I expect it to be of the same consistency every time. Adidas you've been cautioned. ... read more
I was simply getting these cause Tom Gabel (Laura Jane Grace) was known for wearing these and I wanted to a try a pair out for myself and I wasn't disappointed these fit great and I just feel really comfortable in them. ... read more
THIS SHOES ARE THE BEST, THEY LOOK GREAT NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE BODY YOU HAVE OR WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, THEY ARE COMFORTABLE, STYLISH, AND THEY TURN HEADS EVERYWHERE I GO, THEY LAST LONG AND THEY GO GREAT WITH ANY CLOTHES, 1-10 I GIVE IT A 20, THIS SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT PAIR OF SHOES. ... read more
Excellent shoe. However, if you have wide feet, you'll need to jump up half size or a whole size. I wear an 11. Had to get wit an 11.5 As we all know, Adidas' are narrower than the average shoe. Dope shoes for a cool price. A'ight then, in a minute. ... read more

Constrictive pericarditis is long-term (chronic) inflammation of the sac-like covering of the heart (the pericardium) with thickening, scarring, and muscle tightening (contracture).
See also:
Constrictive pericarditis
Constrictive pericarditis is most commonly caused by conditions or events that cause inflammation to develop around the heart, including:
Less common causes include:
Constrictive pericarditis may also develop without apparent cause.
The inflammation causes the covering of the heart to become thick and rigid, making it hard for the heart to stretch properly when it beats. As a result, the heart chambers don't fill up with enough blood. Blood backs up behind the heart, causing heart swelling and other symptoms of heart failure.
The condition is relatively rare in children.
Symptoms of chronic constrictive pericarditis include:
Constrictive pericarditis is very difficult to diagnose. Signs and symptoms are similar to restrictive cardiomyopathy and cardiac tamponade. Your doctor will need to rule out these conditions when making a diagnosis.
A physical exam may show that your neck veins stick out, suggesting increased blood pressure in the area. This is called Kussmaul's sign. The doctor may note weak or distant heart sounds when listening to your chest with a stethoscope.
The physical exam may also reveal liver swelling and fluid in the belly area.
The following tests may be ordered:
The goal of treatment is to improve heart function. The cause must be identified and treated. This may include antibiotics, antituberculosis medications, or other treatments.
Diuretics ("water pills") are commonly prescribed in small doses to help the body remove excess fluid. Analgesics may be needed to control pain.
Decreased activity may be recommended for some patients.
A low-sodium diet may also be recommended.
The definitive treatment is a type of surgery called a pericardiectomy. This involves cutting or removing the scarring and part of the sac-like covering of the heart.
Constrictive pericarditis may be life threatening if untreated.
However, surgery to treat the condition is associated with a relatively high complication rate and is usually reserved for patients who have severe symptoms.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of constrictive pericarditis.
Constrictive pericarditis in some cases is not preventable.
However, conditions that can lead to constrictive pericarditis should be adequately treated.

Comments On Jan 29, 2015:I don't know what the fuss is in the other reviews concerning hook up?! It's a normally open switch just like your kill button/ switch. Hook one wire to the wire going to the stock kill switch and connect the other wire to a good ground. (Honda dirt bikes / ATV's are the Black / White stripe wire from the CDI plug). If this is still difficult to understand then have a bike shop hook it up, and if that's the case then note: "You shouldn't be messing with your ride's electrics AT ALL!" Otherwise, this tether is easy and fast to reset. I know because I've had to do so three times and all with no time lost fighting a tether that won't reset. I'm happily buying another for the ATC250R I picked up the other day. Go Go WFO!!

Mt Bromo a must see item when visiting Indonesia
27 November 2012
Categories : Hiking, Trekking, and Eco
Waking up for 3:30am for a tour to do a "must see, must do" item in Indonesia, is sometimes a sacrifice that you need to make. Thankfully I didn't need to shower before hand I could literally roll out of bed at 3:15am, throw some clothes on and meet the group. Before heading to the small town of Wonotoro, I was told to bring warm clothes and that it would be very chilly there. Men walked around selling toques and mittens, the Indonesians...

Looking into a Volcano at Mt Bromo
29 November 2012
Categories : Hiking, Trekking, and Eco
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to look inside of a volcano? At Indonesia's Mt. Bromo, you can see for yourself. The journey begins in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, in the far east of Java. We arrived at our hotel the day before and rested up for a middle-of-the-night departure for sunrise. After sunrise we took jeeps across the sand sea and hiked up Mt. Bromo. Here, some chose to ride horses up the volcano side. The hike wasn't...
