I am studying this week for a Mother's Day Sermon I will be preaching.
When I start the message prep process, I always begin with prayer and then find a text in the Bible that I will preach.
Since I am preaching on Mother's Day, I did a study on all the passages of scripture that I might want to preach for a sermon about mothers.
The best sermon ideas come from scripture. So here are some Mothers Day sermon ideas for you.
My hope is that this list will be helpful to save some of you the time of having to find the passages on your own.
Mother's Day Bible Verses
Note: All scripture below is from the ESV translation.
Jesus Takes Care Of His Mother
25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

Seriously though, I'd be disappointed if they choose to just have Vader end up hunting her down and killing her. The way they left it with her leaving the order really leaves the door open to some interesting opportunities. There are (I assume) plenty of familiar faces that survived Order 66 who could pop up and face off against Vader.
I'm kind of hoping she will just get a little screen time setting up how she survived Vaders purge, allowing her to turn up as an older live action character in the new trilogy. They really will need more Force users. The same goes for Ventress.

Nice. Well said!
Actually I'm hoping for lots of Leia and none of Luke........There's so much potential for Leia! Maybe as a child she started helping her pop out with running info for the rebels. I expect to see lots of excitement on board the Tantive IV.
Not sure about Han... if they plan to do standalones based on him at some particular age then maybe he doesn't really have a place in this series... who knows?
What will likely end up happening is an all new cast of characters with some familiar faces sprinkled in here and there for good measure.
Han has a lot of potential for adventures, Leia only slightly less so. I don't think either will be the main or even regular characters though.

Yeah, the whole reason Luke wanted to get off Tatooine in the FIRST place was because it was so dead and lifeless there. So you can't have him getting in a whole bunch of fun, thrill-packed adventures beforehand.
Unless you count bullseying womprats in his T-16, of course
(which I'm guessing Disney probably wouldn't consider very kid-friendly behavior anyway).
That's pretty much ALL I want to see Luke doing, apart from hanging out with Biggs, Camie and Fixer at Tosche station...
Wouldn't it be great if the last few scenes of this series were an animation of the deleted scenes from the start of what became known as 'A New Hope' ?

Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) San Francisco
I am submitting pictures, and a video I captured of the Day of the Dead celebration held in San Francisco's Mission District. The Mission District was originally known as "the Mission lands" meaning the lands belonging to the sixth Alta California mission, Mission San Francisco de Asis." It's ethnic makeup is approx. 41% Hispanic and 57% white, and the Day of the Dead or Día de los Muertos is celebrated heavily every year. The event attracts thousands of people all dressed in costume or make up that usually depicts the Catrina or the Lady of the Dead or skulls. There is a huge procession with drummers and Native American dance and people dressed in costume. And in a small park in the Mission, hundreds of altars are set up to remember and commemorate the dead. It is an impressive event. And since America has a huge Hispanic population it has become very popular in other States or Cities.

BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Montana State University researchers have discovered a rare oasis of life in the midst of hundreds of geothermal vents at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake.
A colony of moss, worms and various forms of shrimp flourishes in an area where the water is inky black, about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and a cauldron of nutrients, gases and poisons, the researchers reported in the September issue of Geobiology.
The vent is close to 100 feet below the surface of Yellowstone Lake and a third of a mile offshore in the West Thumb region. The worms and shrimp live among approximately two feet of moss that encircles the vent.
"This particular vent seemed unique relative to all other active vents thus far observed in the lake in that it is robustly colonized by plants," the researchers wrote.
The team explored the lake bottom with a Remotely Operated Vehicle built by the same person who built a much larger rover for exploring the Titanic. The MSU team was led by John Varley in the Big Sky Institute and Tim McDermott and Bill Inskeep in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences and MSU's Thermal Biology Institute.
The researchers said that the Fontinalis moss is not known to grow in the conditions they found on the floor of Yellowstone Lake and that a worm found associated with the moss had never been reported in North America. The researchers also noted that this was the first in-depth published study of the biology associated with any geothermal vent in Yellowstone Lake.
"The proliferation of complex higher organisms in close association with a Yellowstone Lake geothermal vent parallels that documented for deep marine vents, although to our knowledge this is the first such documentation for a freshwater habitat," the researchers wrote in Geobiology.
The vent is evidently responsible for the moss being able to live in what humans perceive as total darkness, but these plants obviously ha

Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap and Myofascial Flap
see also: Case Example of Pectoralis Myocutaneous Flap
- Indications
- The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap and myofascial flap variation are utilized in a large variety of head and neck reconstructive procedures that can include coverage of mucosal and/or cutaneous defects. The extent of coverage and the reach of the flap are dependent on the anatomy of the patient, modifications of the standard techniques of elevation, and inset. The upper limits are generally considered the zygomatic arch area externally and the superior tonsillar pole internally - patient body habitus may either limit extension short of these landmarks, or permit extension beyond.
- The myofascial flap variation carries no skin paddle and is utilized primarily to close small mucosal defects, to protect major vascular structures, and to support primary mucosal closure in a patient at increased risk of wound breakdown (prior radiation, diabetic, weight loss).
- Contraindications
- A defect that is too large or outside the potential reach of the reconstructive tissue
- Very obese patients will have a difficult-to-handle and possibly nonviable skin paddle
- Patients with prior chest wall trauma and/or prior chest wall surgery (mastectomy, breast implants, subclavian lines, cardiac pacemaker, etc) may have absent, scarred or poorly vascularized pectoralis major muscle
- Removal of the muscle will affect the strength of the shoulder and arm; this weakness may affect the ability of the patient to work or participate in recreational activities
- Congenital absence of pectoralis muscle (Poland's syndrome)
- Indications
- Advantages
- This flap offers one-stage reconstruction.
- The patient's position need not be changed intraoperatively.
- This flap provides a large cutaneous island that can be used for defects involving 2 epithelial surfaces.
- The muscular part covers neck structures protecting the carotid artery, especially in patients who have undergone radiation therapy.
- The flap can conceal recurrences, making follow-up in the neck area more complicated.
- In women, the flap might include breast tissue, which may lead to breast asymmetry.
- In males, hirsute chest skin is placed intraorally.
- This flap causes loss of pectoralis muscle function in arm adduction and/or rotation.
- In patients who are overweight, the flap is bulky, which leads to postoperative contour deformities.
- Additional Preoperative Evaluations
- None required (see Contraindications)
- Consent Inclusions
- The use of the pectoralis muscle and chest wall skin is necessary for reconstruction of a defect in the head and neck region that otherwise is unlikely to heal or would have significantly increased risks of complications during the healing period.
- The surgery will require a skin incision on the chest wall that will result in a skin scar.
- Absence of the muscle will affect the chest wall contour to a minor degree.
- The flap used will decrease the strength of the shoulder and upper arm and may affect the patient's ability to work and recreate.
- The reconstruction has a risk of partial or complete failure that would require additional surgery and/or wound care.
- There is a risk of wound infection, hematoma, and/or hemo/pneumothorax.
- Additional Preoperative Evaluations
- Room Setup
- Instrumentation and Equipment
- Standard
- Special
- Tracheotomy Tray
- Retractor Tray, Large
- Varidyne vacuum suction controller
- Doppler probe and control unit (available only)
- Cummings retractor, medium and large
- Medications (specific to nursing)
- Antibiotic ointment (see Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Head and Neck Surgery
- 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine
- Antibiotic ointment (see Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Head and Neck Surgery
- Prep and Drape
- Standard prep, 10% providone iodine (neck and chest)
- Drape
- Head drape
- Towels around the neck (from the chin), chest from beyond the contralateral sternal border, below xiphoid, shoulder, and midaxillary line
- Split sheet
- Drains and Dressings
- Varidyne vacuum suction drain (10 mm): two each in both the neck and chest
- Antibiotic ointment to suture lines
- Special Considerations
- Skin graft may be necessary.
- General Anesthesia
- Tube position: per primary resection, tubing needs to remain off ipsilateral chest and neck.
- Paralysis
- EKG electrodes: no precordial leads; leads may be placed on the posterior upper back and shoulder
- Central line: if needed, use long-arm CVP or femoral catheters
- Systemic Medication
- Antibiotics (see Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Head and Neck Surgery
- Steroids: consider Decadron, 10 mg, IV
- Antibiotics (see Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Head and Neck Surgery
- Positioning
- Bed at 0, 90, or 180° to anesthesia machine, depending on need of other surgical resection
- Patient supine
- Padding and strapping, routine
- Estimated Blood Loss
- 300 cc (150-900)
- General Anesthesia
- Pertinent Anatomy
- Landmarks
- Identify the clavicle, ipsilateral sternal border, xiphoid, and humeral insertion of the pectoralis muscle.
- The course of the pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery can be identified by drawing a line from the xyphoid to the acromion. A second line perpendicular to this line is drawn that bisects the clavicle. The course of the artery corresponds to the line drawn from the midpoint of the clavicle continuing to the medial portion of the acromion to xyphoid line.
- Skin paddle
- Size and location of skin paddle depends on reconstructive requirements. Standard skin paddle is located at the infero-medial border of the pectoralis major muscle that is inserting on the lateral border of the sternum and the second to sixth costal cartilage.
- Skin overlying any portion of the muscle may be utilized.
- The larger the skin paddle harvested, the higher the likelihood the skin will survive the transfer due to the increased number of myocutaneous perforators.
- For additional length, the skin paddle may be extended as a random-pattern flap beyond the inferior edge of the muscle belly.
- Small flaps extended beyond the inferior muscle edge may exhibit an absence of myocutaneous perforators.
- The myofascial flap is raised without a skin paddle.
- Landmarks
- Blood Supply
- Pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery (primary blood supply). The artery runs in the fat on the underside of the muscle.
- Sacrifice of the lateral thoracic artery (secondary blood supply) is usually required to gain necessary length.
- The supreme thoracic artery also supplies the pectoralis major, but is usually divided when the flap is raised.
- Flap Elevation
- Design the size and location of the skin paddle over the pectoralis major muscle.
- Initial incision is made from lateral edge of designed skin paddle toward the anterior axillary line. Usually this incision is above the nipple in the male and below the breast in the female patient. The incision is carried down to the pectoralis major muscle. This allows for identification of the medial and inferior extents of the muscle, after which the design of the skin paddle can be moved inferiorly or superiorly so as to rest above muscle tissue.
- The inferior, medial, and lateral incisions are made through the muscle and fascia of the pectoralis major muscle and down to the chest wall.
- The superior skin flap incision is made down to the muscle fibers of the pectoralis major muscle.
- The skin paddle should be temporarily secured to the fascia of the muscle with 3-0 vicryl or gut suture.
- A skin/fascia tunnel is created under the superficial pectoralis major muscle fascia, preserving the perforators to the overlying deltopectoral flap The tunnel must extend from the superior flap incision, over the clavicle and into the neck.
- The muscle flap is then elevated off the chest wall beneath the deep pectoralis major muscle fascia. Care should be taken in controlling the bleeding from the chest wall perforators at the muscular attachments to the chest. Vessel retraction into the chest can lead to hemothorax.
- As the muscle is elevated inferiorly to superiorly, the pedicle should be identified by visualization and palpation on the deep surface of the muscle.
- As the muscle fibers are cut along the sternal attachments, care should be taken not to cut the internal mammary perforators adjacent to the sternum that supply the deltopectoral flap (see Deltopectoral Flap protocol).
- The pedicle should be in view while transecting the lateral muscle attachments.
- The use of a Shaw knife (heated knife) may be useful in this dissection.
- The lateral thoracic artery is usually cut to increase length and rotation and should be tied to prevent late bleeding and/or hematoma.
- Do not overly rotate, kink, or compress proximal flap.
- Increased length can be gained by division of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major muscle above the pedicle by debulking the muscle fibers over the proximal pedicle and by splitting and removing the middle one-third of the clavicle (this is rarely necessary and increases the risk of vessel kinking and flap failure).
- Excessive fat between the muscle and skin can lead to skin paddle loss without muscle loss. When securing the flap in place, muscle fascia should be secured, independent of the skin paddle.
- Closure
- Mobilization of the surrounding tissue of the chest should allow for primary closure in almost all cases. Split thickness skin grafts should be used, if primary closure is not possible.
- Drains
- The neck and chest are drained with suction drains, two in each location. The drains must not cross the pedicle.
- Dressing
- Antibiotic ointment
- Pertinent Anatomy
- Dressings
- Antibiotic ointment
- Flap Monitoring
- No tracheotomy ties, gown ties, or pressure on pedicle in neck or over clavicle
- "No Pressure" sign taped on patient's chest near pedicle or written with marking pen on skin
- The flap is monitored by observation of color and needle-prick bleeding. Poor flap appearance may be improved with the use of dextran, steroids, and/or hyperbaric oxygen. Pressure points and excessive torque should be assessed and improved if possible with changes in the head and arm positions or neck suture removal.
- Flap failure is most likely to occur at the superior aspect of the flap/mucosa closure.

Welcome to film! Chemistry wise, use whatever your father in law uses . I mean it seriously, as what you get from using what a family mbr uses is the ability to talk on the phone or at family parties talk at great length on how to improve your skills. Using the same chems can help. If he uses something maybe a bit too obscure for your tastes, there is nothing wrong with Xtol or HC110. I am a Xtol fan, I mix up 5 liters, bottle it and it lasts me 4-6 months. But honestly almost all developers will work great, there is little major differences in all of them, pick a type and work it for a while, jumping around developers is a quick way to lose sight of what you wish to accomplish (which for many is consistency)
I sure hope you have some good literature, if not Henry Horenstein's, Black and White a Basic Manual, can be bought used on Amazon for less than a latte.

National Theatre of Scotland America Inc
Set up in 2008, National Theatre of Scotland America Inc. is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the work of the National Theatre of Scotland in the United States and in Scotland.
Contributions to National Theatre of Scotland America Inc. are deductible to the extent allowed by law. The National Theatre of Scotland America Inc. Federal tax number is 26-2500933
Founded in 2006, the National Theatre of Scotland has swiftly established itself as one of the world's most exciting theatre companies.
We were the first national theatre company in the world to take the radical decision not to have its own building and to exist entirely as a touring company. This unique 'theatre without walls' model has allowed us to share some of our best work with American audiences.
Our commitment to supporting new work combined with the ability to attract some of the world's most talented artists to collaborate with us has earned the Company a global reputation for creating theatre that is contemporary, confident and unforgettable.
The National Theatre of Scotland first came to the U.S. in 2007, bringing Black Watch, a new play written by Gregory Burke and directed by John Tiffany, which followed the experiences of Scottish soldiers in Iraq.
The response was extraordinary: on its first visit it picked up a New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Foreign Play, garnered five star reviews and played to packed houses every night.
Since then, together with setting up our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization National Theatre Scotland America Inc., we've taken a huge range of work to the U.S. including our bold re-imagining of Macbeth performed by Alan Cumming, the acclaimed family show The Wolves in the Walls, a daring and outrageous new version of Euripides' The Bacchae, the thrilling physicality of Beautiful Burnout and the live music and supernatural storytelling of The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart.
We would be delighted if you would consider supporting the National Theatre of Scotland America Inc. helping us continue to create unforgettable theatrical experiences for audiences across America and beyond.

Reviews for Baron Custom Accessories Smooth Big Air Kit - BA-2080-00
Beautiful addition to my VN900
Very easy install, looks nice on the bike, and provides much more performance than the stock air box. Well worth the cost.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Good performance gains with new exhaust
Install was relatively painless. Overall quality looks good. I installed this with a set Cobra Speedster Longs exhaust pipes and a re-jet and man...The power is great. I certainly did not think it would make that big of a difference, but it sure did. Best 2 purchases for the bike so far.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Looks great! Semi-easy install.
Put my BAK on my '09 Vulcan Classic 900. The instructions were pretty straight forward and probably the easiest ones to follow. Only a few problems that became frustrating after a while...The installation of the Upper Vent tube has to go behind throttle body then over throttle cable to connect into upper vent nipple. Had difficulties getting the tube on the nipple due to small working area to get hands in. Last problem was putting the air filter and cover on. Attachment of the backing plate used the 5 stock screws. The two top corner screws are a little too big and overlap into the groove for the air filter to fit in. Not a huge deal ,except when trying to put the cover on and place screws in from behind. Not as easy as directions make it sound but eventually got it on and tightened down. Over-all, pretty satisfied...I would recommend this item to a friend.

Tally Hall - Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum
Good Day
Welcome To Tally Hall
Taken For A Ride
The Bidding
Be Born
Banana Man
Just Apathy
Spring And A Storm
Two Wuv
The Whole World And You
The Ruler Of Everything
This was the first album I ever heard that was a 10/10, A+ 100% perfect album to me. It's the catchiest pop rock album I've ever heard, but each song has its own identity and it just has brilliant songwriting all over it. In fact, Good Day won a John Lennon songwriting award. There are about as many styles on here as there are different song subjects. You've got your typical "Introduce The Band" type song that's just as much hip-hop as it is pop rock with "Welcome To Tally Hall", or the marching-band brass party section of "The Whole World And You." Or maybe the fast-paced song about stalking the Olsen Twins with "Two Wuv" or an island-jam complete with bongo's about someone who gives out banana's. Yeah. But each song is unique and memorable and is one of the best albums I've ever heard.
Also: please watch the video for Two Wuv. It's 10 minutes long but is my favorite music video ever.

Yesterday and today I went on a few walks. They were short, because some people haven't put salt on their sidewalks so it's still icy. I hope the ice will melt so I can go on a longer walk.

Today it's been four years since I joined the human family. Only one human really loves, me even though I can drive her crazy sometimes. She doesn't like when her sister calls me a dork and duface. She gets mad at her. She loves me because I cuddle her in bed and I like her when she gets sad.

The API was revealed at the end of Roussos's presentation during Zynga Unleashed, bookending a discussion about the technology Zynga employs to build its games. Roussos also mentioned how the company uses zCloud, the world's largest hybrid cloud server to launch a game and grow it to up to 10 million players in a week. Stop the CAPTCHA Madness!

OAuth provides client applications a 'secure delegated access' to server resources on behalf of a resource owner. It specifies a process for resource owners to authorize third-party access to their server resources without sharing their credentials. Designed specifically to work with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), OAuth essentially allows access tokens to be issued to third-party clients by an authorization server, with the approval of the resource owner, or end-user. The client then uses the access token to access the protected resources hosted by the resource server.[1] OAuth is commonly used as a way for web surfers to log into third party web sites using their Microsoft, Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts, without worrying about their access credentials being compromised.[2]

Front drivers side vibration/howling
Hey fellas about 4 weeks ago my truck started making a howling sound. Then i started getting a vibration/intermittent pulsating feeling in my left foot were i rest it when i drive. I assumed it was the Hub assy since i had to replace the right front hub back around x-mas to pass inspection, even though I was told the left was good. Well i jacked the front end up and the tire does not a single bit of play in any direction or any odd noise besides the slight break rotor noise i hear on both sides when i rotate the tires. Im really worried what it could be because i don't want my tire flying off at 70 mph. what other things could cause this noise/vibration?
2002 F350 CCSB 6 inch lift 36 15.50s
4X4? If so, could be just the Needle Brgs and the TEST for it is pretty easy . Lock that side IN (you don't need to actually be in 4WD, just so the axle spins solidly with the wheel). If the noise goes away with it Locked but makes the noise when Free, you might only need to replace the needle brgs.
Welcome to guzzle's 4x4 Needle Bearing Maintenance Web Page
Thanks for the quick reply. It is 4X4 and i tried that last week it makes the noise either way but only while driving. When on jack stands it makes no noise at all and has no play. I just got back from diagnosing it and i pulled both locking hubs out. Earlier this winter i had an issue with trying to move the locking hub it was stuck for a few weeks till it finally came loose after some persuasion. at this same time a i tried to remove the entire locking hub and it was stuck in the hub assy. I just finally got it out and cranked it back and forth till it was loosened up, put it back in and went for a test drive. and it seems all the vibs and howling have gone away (besides the tire whine). IDKif the noise is just gone temporarily or something in the hub was out of wack.
Thanks Again
Very helpful. I am having a similar issue on my drivers side. Though I am unable to put the truck in 4x4 because my you joints are grinding my grease fittings, I put moog balljoints upper and lowers in and only on the drivers side the u joint doesn't clear the grease fitting and it barley clears the passenger side..either I didn't tighten that castle nut down enough on the joint or who knows..but I sure hope it's the hub assembly or a needle bearing because my truck is creepin on 140k and I hear these trannys are known to go around 140k-200k...

ST. JOHNSBURY Prosecutors plan to present evidence that the killing of a popular teacher by a couple two years ago was sexually motivated.
The Caledonia County states attorney has filed new allegations against Patricia and Allen Prue, the Waterford couple charged with murder in the killing of 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins, of St. Johnsbury, on March 25, 2012.
Among the new allegations filed Jan. 31, the state says evidence shows that Patricia Prues computer was used to conduct online searches for how to get kids to get into your car, how to get kids, how to kidnap a girl and how to rape a girl and not get caught, The Caledonian Record reported.
The state also says Allen Prue used Facebook to contact young women, including one who was pregnant, even though she asked him to stop because she didnt know him.
The state has alleged that the Prues felt snubbed after Jenkins declined Allen Prues request for a date.
The Prues have pleaded not guilty. They are to be tried separately.
Allen Prues lawyer said Tuesday that he had not discussed the allegations with his client but said he believes the filings related to allegations of prior bad conduct by his client likely would not be allowed at trial.

Prescription drug abuse has been called Oklahoma's fastest growing drug problem.
In Oklahoma, more overdose deaths involve hydrocodone than methamphetamines, heroin and cocaine combined.
Oklahoma has the fifth highest drug overdose death rate in the United States, and the number of drug overdose deaths, a majority of which are from prescription drugs, in Oklahoma tripled since 1999, according this report.
The Oklahoman is working on a project about prescription drug abuse, and we welcome your feedback in the form below.

Nationwide, more than two hundred new laws will take effect January 1, according to Ovid attorney Steven Getman.
In some states, the new laws include legalization of gay marriages and marijuana usage.
In New York State, the new laws include:
• A new sales tax exemption designed to encourage solar energy use;
• A law to provide new protections for domestic violence;
• Laws to help craft brewers distribute their products;
• A prohibition on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors;
• New ways for colleges to provide health insurance for students.
More on the new laws can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/br8jwnb
According to Getman, residents with questions about their states' laws should contact a competent attorney of their own choosing in that state to make sure they understand their rights and responsibilities.

"We found lice levels exceeded what we would find normally, extending for 30 km ?even though the farm is only about 0.2 km long," says John Volpe, the third coauthor from the University of Victoria. "Conservatively this means that the parasite footprint of the farm is 150 times larger than the farm itself."
Sea lice can lower the fitness of salmon - and in some cases be lethal - as they create open lesions on the surface of the fish that compromises a fish's ability to maintain its salt-water balance. When infection rates are high enough, the parasites feed on the fish at rates greater than the fish can feed itself, literally eating the fish alive. Adult salmon can survive sea lice infection, but young salmon are much more vulnerable due to their small size.
Under natural conditions, juvenile pinks and chum do not typically have to contend with sea lice because the adult salmon are far out at sea and are widely dispersed. By the time the migrating pinks and chum normally encounter lice, the juveniles have had the time to put on body mass and build resistance. The location of the farm near the natal rivers undermines this natural coping strategy.
The field study also discovered a new cause for alarm: once the young salmon pass the farm and pick up the sea lice, the migrating school becomes a moving cloud of contagions. Sea lice larvae mature and reproduce on the seaward salmon with each louse producing 300-800 eggs. This second round of lice larvae can re-infect the fish in the school and can spread to other previously unexposed populations coming from geographically disparate regions.
"At about the 30 km mark from the farm, those lice become reproductive," says Volpe. "In effect, the farm has exported its lice generating properties ?a cycli

As my career has progressed, I've realized that the majority of my work involves being a valve on my team. What that means to me is that essentially, most of my value is in deciding when I should block or unblock something or someone.
As my career has progressed, I've realized that the majority of my work involves being a valve on my team. What that means to me is that essentially, most of my value is in deciding when I should block or unblock something or someone.
What I love most about software is that it is excellent at doing exactly what you tell it to do, never veering from your instructions, never complaining, and doing it extremely quickly. These are not only excellent characteristics we can leverage for our own efficiency gains, but coincidentally things that humans like me are typically awful at. Finding a tool that does things you are bad at and does them well, quickly, and cheaply is so rare that we'd be remiss not to take full advantage of these quirks in its nature. In an attempt to leverage these powers for good, I'm sharing an in-progress project I've been working on called Robot Blocks.
For my own uses, Robot Blocks has been helpful to quickly build up a project with a backend data store in my preferred framework, .NET. Inverting the pattern we used at WAM, I took an Entity Framework code first approach that allowed me to organically design/build my data model and not worry too much about the backend details. I'd like to eventually make it a part of my build toolchain to update my backend as I develop. If I were building client facing apps, I'd longer term want to generate a simple front end admin tool for the database, and some simple tools to query/dump the data for BI purposes.
For art to be meaningful, I feel that it must be decontextualized. By this I mean that it should be removed from culture and personal history and instead related to a greater human truth, the kind which crosses all boundaries of culture, time, gender, or experience. If I were to be lifted from my body today and moved to the middle period of the Great Egyptian Dynasties or teleported into the halls of Ancient Greece, I should still be able to marvel and be touched by the art that they generated in their times, regardless of the oceans of time between my experiences and those of artists. Granted, this is perhaps too strict a definition of art as it eliminates a great deal of what can only otherwise be defined as art from today's generally accepted definition, but I feel that those modern and more narrow expressions of self need to be recategorized and bucketed into a new word.
As a leader, you need to work hard to ensure that as your company's goals change, they change with full transparency and buy in from everyone in the organization. Oftentimes, change can be perceived as a red flag for many of the people at your company. For them, the sacrifices, expended time, passion, energy, and more were all made in the name of achieving the goals that helped create and grow your organization, and any directional changes can demoralize and devalue those sacrifices.
Obviously, in business goals often need to change for the sake of staying alive and thriving in a constantly changing marketplace. However, it's of the upmost importance that they shouldn't leave a trail of destruction through your culture as they do so. Establishing early on what your culture stands for is the cornerstone of surviving change. Culture is not what you say, it's what you do and what you value. When you allow your culture to change, it is due to your disassociation from your original values and from the work done daily that's actually keeping the company alive, a disconnect on the leadership's part to understand what the company actually does, and a sign that leadership and the rest of the company are working in two very different worlds. If you don't experience the pain points, you cannot empathize with the difficulties you're asking your team to deal with, especially when you need to nimbly shift your company's business. Morale drops, further worsening culture from the inside out because it is no longer a culture lived organically by every person in the company but instead hardens from the bottom up. By the time it makes it up the proverbial ivory tower, it's too late to react.
Informal check ins keep a clear path of communication open between you and the rest of the team. When you ask for candid feelings or thoughts, you're more likely to get them when you've established a communication pathway that's trusted and real rather than formal, stiff, and unnatural. Having a real relationship with people you work with actually reduces context switching, too, because you can very quickly interact with someone rather than setting up a meeting (which tend to suck out time and productivity) and formalizing the event. Who knew that being a real person had benefits in the workplace?
The bottom line is that the closer you are to your team as people, knowing what they're thinking and when they're in a good or a bad mood, the closer you are to working together to create a better workplace and get things done. You become more aware of the feelings and energy of the team producing work and are also that much more likely to correct issues earlier in the process. It's like iterative development – you constantly check your work instead of all at once in the end, when it's likely too late or too much effort to do anything about it.
Like lots of people who have been around technology for a while, I don't have much of a classical business upbringing. This general ignorance of The Rules has helped create new styles of management and work environments that offer a whole lot of benefits over The Old Ways in my father's days of computer-less desks, cigarette smoke heavy in the air, and not wearing a tie about as casual as a Friday got.
Still, when it comes to leadership, it's good to be a little atavistic about watching what we say, and when we say it. Formality isn't always a four letter word and can instead help to guard you about saying things that can't be unsaid.
The greatest leaders have a strong ability to empathize with their team. Leadership is not task management nor is it riding people to perform the minute details you think they need to perform to achieve your vision. True leadership recognizes that you need the people following you much more than they need you – without an understanding of their motivations or abilities, you'll likely be unable to relate your goals to theirs.
If you've spent any time at all developing software, you've – willingly or unwillingly – had to come to terms with the fact that a huge part of your job isn't writing new code, but is instead about playing detective and recreating causes to problems so that you could fix them.
One of the principles I live by both in my professional as well as personal life is to appreciate what's come before me. Recognizing that while there are often opportunities for improvement, decisions made before you were around are what allowed you the opportunity you have today to make things better.
It's well known that a major component to a successful user experience is absolute consistency. Apple does this better than almost anyone, and as their desktop and mobile OS quickly merge it will become even more consistent than it already is today. For the most part Microsoft is a close second, and I say this even after factoring in the fact that the new Metro UI has a certain disjointed feel to it of something new bolted onto something old. In fact, their consistency has opened them up to criticism: Windows 7 wasn't so different from Win95, after all.

how do you know you're having twins? is an ultrasound the only way to determine this?

Signs You May Be Pregnant with Twins You just feel you're carrying more than one baby. Don't disregard intuition or dreams. Some mothers of twins often say that they "just knew it" right from the start that they were carrying more than one baby. Most women who are carrying twins say that they experienced more extreme morning sickness than in previous single pregnancies. If you are in fact having twins then you will more than likely have higher hCG pregnancy hormone levels - and this usually means longer or stronger bouts of morning sickness. If fact some women report having "all day" morning sickness! As with the morning sickness, other more common pregnancy symptoms may be exaggerated. Most women who are pregnant with twins have more intense pregnancy symptoms and this is usually because of the additional hormones and other changes they would be experiencing if they had two babies developing inside them. You may find that your breasts are very tender almost hyper sensitive, or you may find that you have to urinate frequently, more frequently than other women who are as far along as you are. Of course if you are carrying twins then your weight gain during your pregnancy will be much faster. On average there is a higher weight gain during the first trimester vs. non twin pregnancies. What is important is that your weight gain is not caused by bad nutrition during pregnancy. Of course the dead giveaway that you are carrying twins would be at your first prenatal exam, where your doctor may measure your uterus and it would be bigger than what your LMP dates would indicate. Another dead giveaway would be the presence of two heart beats! From around week 12 your healthcare provider would be able to hear the two separate heart beats with the aid of a Doppler. And finally - the most convincing evidence that you are pregnant with twins - an ultrasound that shows two babies!posted 07/26/2010 by nbless
I am currently 27+ weeks pregnant with twins. At 4 weeks, I had my HCG levels checked (bloodwork) to verify my pregnancy. I received a call from my doctor stating that my HCG levels were very high so they were suspecting multiples. At 6 weeks, they had me come in for an ultrasound to confirm this. And sure enough...there were two little heartbeats! Best of luck!!posted 08/12/2010 by hbarks

Hi I have 4 weeks. I wish I could have twins because I usually dream for it.posted 05/07/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
this is my fourth child, had a miscarriage a few months back. This pregnancy is different from my other three. Pains in tummy a lot, get pain in my legs, my boobs are tender especially the nipples hurt whenever my boyfriend tries messing with them. I'm six weeks pregnant and I haven't been able to keep anything down but still manage to gain a little weight. I literally have to sip on whatever I intake with fluids because it just comes back up. Food is the worst it stays in my system for about ten minutes and then I have to run to the toilet. Shedding like crazy, urinate a hundred times a day if I don't it hurts my tummy. Have not been to the drs yet but just have a funny feeling this might be more than one.posted 09/30/2013 by ckrin29
I'm 7 weeks and this is my second child. I was not sick one day with my first but this one I can't seem to keep anything down at times. I have also gained 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Now I'm one of those people who follows the foods I eat when I'm pregnant and eat extremely well so the question is could my weight gain mean that I'm having twins?posted 12/20/2011 by jodiandtyler34

text:
A skinny guy sporting a stringy platinum pageboy and pajama pants wanders around the forest somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. He's muttering to himself as if arguing with someone he can't bring himself to confront. Later he jumps in a river and spends a night in front of a campfire alone, singing "Home on the Range." In the morning, it's revealed that the wooded acreage he's been wandering is his own private property, and that it houses the turn-of-the-century mansion he and a handful of his rock-kid hangers-on call home. There, he fills his last days experimenting with eyeliner; eating sugary cereal and macaroni and cheese; avoiding the phone and occasionally settling down with his guitar. He watches a Boyz II Men video and entertains a Yellow Pages salesman. Once in a while, he clutches his stomach in pain. All the while, the camera is extraordinarily still and patient, letting him ramble and sprawl across the screen. It knows he's not going anywhere. It knows we know how this ends.
Blake (Michael Pitt) isn't Kurt Cobain, exactly, although he's a dead ringer for him at a distance, his hair veiling his face. And his house isn't really in Seattle. ("Last Days," Gus Van Sant's latest in a trilogy of untimely death movies, was shot in upstate New York.) Very little of what happens on-screen is verifiable as fact, and none of it could be mistaken for an attempt at psychological inquiry or insight.
The opposite of a biopic, "Last Days" assumes — and to some degree requires — that you pack your own back-story, biographical information, treasured memories, what have you, before embarking on this particular cinematic experience. Like "Elephant," Van Sant's amazing existentialist rumination on the Columbine High School massacre, "Last Days" is the fictional phenomenology of a specific time in the singular life of a character who resembles a particular rock star. Nothing is explained, and really happens — except that, as soon as it starts to become clear that the little bumps in the reverie aren't about to become major plot reversals (at one point, for instance, a strung-out Blake puts on a hunting cap and pokes a shotgun at a sleeping slacker, Elmer Fudd style, but no tragedy ensues) you start to wonder: What if you didn't know who this kid was supposed to be? Would the speaker-phone call from his bandmates clue us in to his superstar status? Would the mansion, with its tenement kitchen and romantically peeling paint, adequately symbolize his sudden, massive wealth in all its absurdity? Would the screaming, swearing female voice on the telephone tell us all we needed to know about his marriage? Beats me. What "Last Days" offers is a blank and narrative-free, but pitch-perfect, dreamscape on which to project your own personal ruminations on Kurt, fame, whatever, nevermind. If you have none, you're on your own.
Shot on digital video for very little money, the cast includes an actual Yellow Pages salesman; a well-known magician, Ricky Jay, in the part of a detective who detects nothing; and the mother of alternative rock, Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, playing a concerned friend who tries to convince Blake to leave the house. This scene is enhanced by knowing that Gordon's career has been as long and influential as her personal life has been stable. (Her husband and bandmate, Thurston Moore, is credited as music consultant.) Gordon accuses Blake of skirting dangerously close to "rock star cliché" territory; a funny thing to say, since "Last Days" is at once unstintingly specific and willfully vague.
Lyrical and unaccountably mesmerizing, "Last Days" is Van Sant's third film in a row — with "Elephant" (2003) and "Gerry" (2002), in which Casey Affleck and Matt Damon play friends who get lost in Death Valley while on a routine nature hike — to feature people dying young. Interestingly, Van Sant has taken the kinds of "true life" stories that are routinely exploited in television movies and turned them into quiet objects for contemplation. A beautiful, if often trying, film from an important American filmmaker "Last Days" feels like Van Sant's own private Nirvana. Maybe yours too. Or maybe not.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A New Orleans courtroom will be the setting for a real-life legal drama casting two Hollywood stars in adversarial roles.
RELATED: Kevin Costner Talks About Whitney Houston
Trial is scheduled to open Monday for Stephen Baldwin's federal lawsuit against fellow actor Kevin Costner over their investments in a device that BP used in trying to clean up the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
RELATED: Hottest Cowboys
The lawsuit claims Costner and a business partner duped Baldwin and a friend out of their shares of an $18 million deal for BP to buy oil-separating centrifuges after the April 2010 spill.

Baldwin and his friend, Spyridon Contogouris, said they didn't know about the deal when they agreed to sell their shares of Ocean Therapy Solutions, a company that marketed the centrifuges to BP, for $1.4 million and $500,000, respectively.

When I was a kid, I got bullied fairly frequently because I was short. So my parents enrolled me in a judo class. After a few unexpected flips in the hallways, the bullies left me alone. Confronting bullies helps build character.
There are times, of course, when judo won't work and the best strategy is to avoid the jerks or sic a teacher or principal on them. Almost everybody has a story. But now, bullying has become a federal issue.
Rep. Jackie Speier is on a crusade to use the U.S. government to stamp out bullying in America. The Northern California Democrat wants to deny federal funds to schools that won't keep a tally of bullying incidents against special-needs children. In other words, the federal government is going to whip local schools into line using its vast fiscal powers. It's a politically correct form of bullying. To oppose this abuse of power implies you actually want these poor kids to be harassed.
I'm not sure where the Constitution legitimates such a sweeping directive, but it's probably in one of the penumbras emanating from the Preamble's General Welfare Clause. Once you create giant Washington bureaucracies, you can use the clause to justify almost anything - from forcing poison light bulbs down our throats to dictating schoolyard behavior.
Every so often, this power is put to good purpose, as when Sen. Jesse Helms used a similar threat to prevent schools from kicking out the Boy Scouts. But he was defending the Scouts' constitutional rights, not creating a vehicle for social engineering. The real solution is to get rid of the oxymoronic Department of Education, not to empower this Jimmy Carter creation in hopes of advancing conservative ideals. It creates too many bullies.
Ms. Speier's new school-bullying idea mirrors President Obama's recent interest in the subject. On March 10, he held an "anti-bullying" conference at the White House. Besides "safe schools czar" Kevin Jennings, invitees included anti-Christian homosexual activist Dan Savage, who attained some fame in 2000 for claiming to have licked the doorknobs of pro-family Republican candidate Gary Bauer's office in hopes of giving Mr. Bauer the flu. Now that's the kind of participant we should have at every anti-bullying conference, if only as a role model.
As Illinois Family Institute writer Laurie Higgins relates, "Savage said the conference was 'of tremendous symbolic importance' but also complained, 'What was never addressed is when the parents are the bullies.' "
Coming next: federal mandates for "parent education"?
The government, under the auspices of three federal agencies, has created a website dedicated to ending bullying. Paraphrasing Mrs. Higgins, here's the site's underlying philosophy: 1) Homosexual behavior is equivalent to race, 2) any kind of sex is morally positive, and 3) expressing any conservative moral beliefs leads to bullying. What a neat formula for suppressing dissent.
Speaking of bullying, Ms. Speier was in rare form along with other Democrats on March 10 at Rep. Peter King's Homeland Security Committee's hearing on radicalization of U.S. Muslims.
She rebuked the committee for focusing on Islamic terror instead of expanding it to "Christian" terrorist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan or the violent anti-abortion group Army of God, and she assailed some witnesses.
Melvin Bledsoe, whose son Carlos was recruited into Islam and has been charged with murdering one soldier and wounding another on June 1, 2009, at a U.S. military recruiting center in Arkansas, was having none of it. He shot back:
"I'm wondering how did [the lawmakers] get on the commission to speak about some of the things they're speaking about." As for radical Muslims, he added, "We're worried about stepping on their toes, and they're talking about stamping us out."
The day before the hearing, Ms. Speier laid into Mr. King, calling him a racist.
"This is one member's bias that he is now putting forth as the policy of this country, and there are going to be many of us who will shout out and call him out on abusing his role as chair and abusing the Congress of the United States for whatever his personal bias is," Ms. Speier told the San Francisco Chronicle. "To pinpoint Muslims as if they're the only category - it's wrong, it's discriminatory, it's racist and inappropriate."
