Just say helloPosted Tuesday, October 7, 2008, at 9:34 PM
All right. So you've taken that art tour around Nevada and found all sorts of things you didn't know were there.
This week, how about letting someone else know you noticed them. Make someone else smile. Invite one of your neighbors to go on that walk around the block with you. Take some extra vegetables from your garden to the people next door. Call that person you've been meaning to call for a long time. Smile and wave at everyone you see on the street. Play a board game with your family. Read to a child. Read to a grown-up. Dance in the kitchen with the radio on.
Smile. Go to church. Go to a political event. Drive around town and look at the fall leaves, just beginning to turn into their autumn colors. Stomp in a puddle.
Ask someone how they're doing and wait to hear the honest answer.
There's plenty to do. Do it, and have fun.
Oh, yeah. And add your suggestions in the comments to this blog. C'mon. It'll be fun.

I live in Wichita Kansas. I will be 53 in Feb. I would spend every summer in Nevada with my grandmother Opal Ryan. I had child hood friends I use to love to play with, like Woody and his sister Sherry. And a girl named Debby Stacy and her Butch. I always said one day I would live in Nevada because that was my dream and work at that State Hospital. While the State Hospital close down and I never made it to live there. I always loved Nevada and still do. The last time I was there was for my grandmothers funeral. But have not been back. I still have relatives there on my mothers side(Ryan) and on my dad's side (Leer). If I could move to Nevada and live there, I would in a heart beat. But that is just a dream that will never happen. So for all you who there there's nothing there in that little town, you are wrong. There is a lot. Susan Law

Northern Exposure '03Written by on December 3, 2003 Contributors: The Car Craft Staff Car Craft's Summer Nationals in St. Paul, Minnesota
It's probably safe to say that the Car Craft Summer Nationals in St. Paul, Minnesota, has become an annual tradition. This was our ninth year traveling to the great, unfrozen north, and the show just continues to get stronger. This time around we logged a record 3,800 cars over the weekend, and plans are already in motion to raise the bar even higher next year.
The weather was definitely on our side for the '03 running of the Summer Nats. With clear skies and sun for most of the weekend, conditions were perfect for cruising and checking out killer iron. We were again astounded by the huge number of bitchin' rides that reside in an area known for bitter cold and chronic rust. Evidently, the Car Craft show draws lots of treasures from their secret garages, as many locals commented that there were scores of local cars on display that hadn't been seen previously.
We showed up at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds bright and early Friday morning expecting to find only show workers setting up, but there were already quite a few cars occupying strategic spaces on the main lanes of the fairgrounds. Some of the ground crew told us there were cars lined up and waiting at the gate when they showed up at dawn. By the afternoon, the show was going strong as we mingled with participants, bench racing and probing for information--the whys and hows of ownership, performance specs, plans for future upgrades, and so on. In doing so, we encountered quite a few interesting people with similarly interesting tales to tell. We've compiled some of them here in brief vignettes for your enjoyment.
Of course, there was plenty of excitement at the Castrol Syntec Dyno Challenge, particularly since we upped the ante by offering specially made jackets to the highest producers of rear-wheel power, both for naturally aspirated and for those running a power adder. We'll touch on the outcome here, but watch for a detailed account of some of the more impressive rides in an upcoming issue. Of course, what would the Nats be without a barrage of beautiful women decked out in as little as possible? The '03 Summer Nats bikini contest drew a healthy field of entrants and a huge crowd of spectators. This year's winner was actually a repeat performance by last year's Miss Car Craft Summer Nationals, Valerie Carpender of Forrest Lake, Minnesota, who looked even hotter than last year.
Special thanks goes to host club Jim Bemis and Friends for helping to organize and maintain this monster of an event. There's still some summer action left, and we'll be out again in force in Springfield, Missouri, for the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in September (the 12th to the 14th).
Main: Flowmaster
Season: MAS Racing Products, MSD Ignition, Black Magic, Outlaw, Tires Plus, and Nitto Tires.
Tina Grohmann
'87 Fiero
"The oil pump went out in the four-cylinder." That was the answer we got when we asked Minnesota's Tina Grohmann why she decided to install a Chevy 383 in the back of her Fiero. Actually, she went on to explain that this is her second mid-engined Pontiac, the first having met its demise thanks to a particularly harsh railroad crossing. The small-block is mated to a stock five-speed manual transaxle via an adapter from V-8 Archie; the setup fits together beautifully, though keeping the driveline alive has been tricky. "This clutch is custom-made--the last one was high-performance but didn't last, and don't even ask me about the other transaxles." Though this trans is still breathing, another is on the way with cryogenically treated innards so Tina won't have to be so cautious. "I love catching Second gear--I really can't baby it for very long."
Randy Atwood
'95 Impala SS
Many enthusiasts laden with family members to haul around found Chevy's Impala SS to be the perfect combination of hot rod and family truckster in the mid-'90s, but the big B-bodies do have their limitations, at least in stock form. Randy Atwood of Zimmerman, Minnesota, was addicted to open road course track events, and sitting on the sidelines was not an option. The solution was to convert the big Imp to a manual trans--specifically, a T56 six-speed. Using a conversion kit from B-Body Performance, Randy installed a Camaro T56, swapped the rear gears to 4.10s, and reassigned the factory automatic-trans cooler to chill the power-steering fluid. The trans swap and some mild suspension upgrades enable the fullsize Chevy to hang with the F-cars all the way around the famous Road America course.
Joseph Huston
'69 Caprice
These days we've become accustomed to seeing father-and-son teams at car shows, only lately, dad's the one driving the American muscle while junior is often seen polishing a slammed import. So you can imagine our delight when we spotted Joseph Huston's '69 Caprice, which was accompanied by a display board showing then-14-year-old Huston with a grinder taking the big Chevy's rusted flanks to bare steel. It seems that Huston the senior went to high school with the Chevy's previous owner back in the early '70s, and he remembered that the car had been parked in a barn since about 1972. The Hustons convinced the owner to sell, and Joseph got a crash course in automotive restoration. Obviously a quick study, Joseph performed nearly all the work himself, save for some final panel smoothing and the application of paint. The original 427 and TH400 still perform flawlessly, as proven during Joseph's 800-mile round trip.
Steve Glubke
'64 Dodge
It's amazing how so many of the valuable cars from the '60s and '70s were actually nearly worthless prior to the musclecar boom of the mid-'80s. We've all heard stories of super-rare factory cars that were traded off for pickup trucks or motorcycles, or simply junked, but this tale has a happier outcome. Back around 1981, Steve Glubke was a young guy looking for a home for his recently completed Hemi engine so he could go drag racing. As luck would have it, he happened upon a '64 Dodge two-door sedan that was already set up for the strip, less motor and trans, and it only had 1,200 miles on the clock since it had been raced from new. Steve bought the car, and then went back a week later with more cash to purchase the aluminum front body panels--that's right, Steve had bought himself an original Chrysler factory drag car. Today, the car wears a beautiful paint job in the original shade of red (the doorjambs and interior are still original and perfect) and the odometer reads just over 2,000 miles. The Hemi is still installed, but Steve also has a correctly dated '64 Max Wedge on a stand at home.
Larry Long/Bill Uttitch
'71 Cutlass
"I've got a story for you," were nearly the first words out of Larry Long's mouth when we met him at the Nats. Larry trekked all the way from Boulder, Colorado, to come to the show, but that wasn't the story he was referring to. Instead, he proceeded to tell us about the program he and fellow autobody-repair instructor Bill Uttitch had begun at Boulder Tech vocational school where they teach. It seems Larry, a hard-core Olds enthusiast, had acquired a rusty '71 Cutlass coupe as a parts car when he had the idea to donate it to the school and have the students convert it into a race car. Part of the inspiration came from the High School Drags racing program at Denver's Bandimere Raceway. The school liked the idea, and the plan was set in motion. As hoped, the students swarmed to the project, and the body was straightened out while the engine--an Olds 350--was freshened, all at the school by students. The multihued graphics on the car's nose represent the colors of all the schools affiliated with Boulder Tech, and when school's out, Larry and Bill take the car to shows for fun and public relations.

Brad Hollenbeck
'32 Ford and '66 Olds
Brad Hollenbeck of Andover, Minnesota, comes from a family of automotive enthusiasts, so it's no surprise that he's one himself. In fact, it's his intention to pass the torch to the next generation, so when his daughter was born, he picked up a new project car. The '66 Olds Delta 88 convertible seemed like a good driver that the whole family would be able to enjoy, and after several years of working on it while also using it as transportation, it was transformed into the slick cruiser seen here. Recently, Brad's grandfather decided it was time to pass on one of his treasures, and he handed the keys to his all-steel '32 Ford coupe to Brad. Grandpa had purchased the Deuce 20 years ago as a street-rod project and transformed it from a channeled, fenderless hot rod to the lovingly detailed resto rod also seen here. It's still chopped, but the rest of the body is nearly stock. Underneath lies a small-block Chevy, Turbo 350 trans, and a Ford 8-inch rear. When Brad took over the '32, he handed his Olds over to his wife, but the kids are already asking when they'll get the keys.
First Effort
Everyone remembers his or her first car. For most of us, that meant an abused machine that probably succumbed to an ignoble and early death. Not so with Travis Howe and Crystal Oevering. Sharing a common interest in early Camaros, they pooled their high school graduation money to buy a seriously abused '69 SS 396 Camaro. Friends and family questioned this move as a waste of good cash. The two ignored these admonitions and focused on resurrecting the early F-body. The only break occurred in the midst of this thrash long enough for the pair to get married. After two years and roughly a $15,000 investment, Travis and Crystal have been rewarded with this beautiful big-block. Now all the family and friends want to do is go for a ride and tell them what a great job they did.
"This was our life for the last two years," Crystal said of the resto job. They had help with the outstanding paint and body work, but the Howes supplied all of the rest of the rehabilitation and detail. When asked if he questioned whether he could complete such a major project, Travis said "You can't be afraid of it. If you screw it up, you just go back and do it again." The Howes are now considering using this first transformation as a springboard to build a small family business out of their Minnesota home.
Dyno Challenge
One of the highlights of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals series is the Castrol Syntec-sponsored Werx Performance mobile dyno. This year's Summer Nationals added Minnesota excitement to the series as the dyno challenge turned into a heated battle between Carl Finney and Bob Brynteson, both from the mosquito state.
To make this a little more interesting, we showed up with two custom Dyno Challenge jackets for the top two horsepower producers in two categories: Normally Aspirated and Power Adder. When the wheels finally stopped spinning and the spent nitrous dissipated, Carl Finney and his Rat-motivated '29 Ford Coupe had laid down a nitrous-assisted 904 hp and 828 lb-ft of torque to take the top spot. Bob Brynteson fell just short of Finney's effort with 890 horses also coaxed with laughing gas. But Brynteson edged Finney out on the motor-only side with 614 hp to Finney's 582. So, both Minnesota natives went home with a new addition to their wardrobe. Both participants also wanted to thank the T/N/T Raceshop of Blaine, Minnesota, for helping set up these impressive cars. Honorable mention goes to John Garner of Hobert, Washington, whose street-driven centrifugally supercharged '90 Mustang convertible punished the rollers to the tune of 670 hp.

Carl Finney of Coon Rapids, Minnesota, brought his '29 Ford out to wage war on the dyno rollers, cranking out a win in the Power Adder category of Car Craft's dyno challenge. Finney's Rat displaces 540 inches and cranks a pump-gas-friendly 10:1 compression. A large-by-huge Crane solid roller bumps the valves in the AFR 335cc aluminum cylinder heads......An Edelbrock Super Victor intake and Holley 1,250-cfm HP handle induction chores, while an NOS Big Shot unit pumps prodigious amounts of nitrous into the big Rat. This is good for 904 hp. Wheeler Racing's (Blaine, Minnesota) Gary Schmidt-built big-block propels Carl into the mid-9s on the motor. He's not saying what it'll run on the juice!...An Edelbrock Super Victor intake and Holley 1,250-cfm HP handle induction chores, while an NOS Big Shot unit pumps prodigious amounts of nitrous into the big Rat.

The big orange bomber is capable of running in the 9.0s at a buck-fifty. The Brynteson Rat also displaces 540 inches, but this one squeezes 13:1 compression and gets its fuel/air mixture from a set of fully ported Dart 360 heads and a Dart single-plane intake with a Pro Systems Holley Dominator carburetor......The Brynteson motor also relies on an NOS Big Shot unit. The big-block laid down 614 hp at a leisurely 6,500 rpm. Gene and Darren of Performance Concepts of Forrest Lake, Minnesota, are responsible for the Brynteson Chevelle's scalding performance.This year's running of the Car Craft Summer Nationals, sponsored by Flowmaster, set new attendance records, reaching 3,800 cars over the weekend. Saturday afternoon was obviously the peak, with so many cars and people that our golf carts actually became a burden, and we joined the throngs of spectators on foot.Long-time musclecar fans will remember Berger Chevrolet as one of the dealers that produced special performance packages back in the heyday of the late '60s. Today, the Grand Rapids, Michigan, dealership is one of the few that have survived all these years, and it's once again producing special Camaros. Dennis Barker heads up that program for Berger, and he organized a caravan of Berger's ZL-1- package Camaros to St. Paul for the show. The Hugger Orange '02 in the background belongs to Jim Parks of DeForest, Wisconsin, and has just about every option, including the 427ci LS6 engine making 600 hp.
Troy Trepanier's latest wonder car is the Chicayne--a '62 Chevy Biscayne commissioned by Billet Specialties owner Glenn Grozich. The car has become the automotive equivalent of a rock star over the past few months, but you could have walked right up and licked it at St. Paul, though we wouldn't recommend it.The Minnesota SS Club was out in force displaying its members' late-model B-bodies, wagons, and cop cars. Almost every car on display was modified in some way, usually for increased performance. Some of these guys have even taken these behemoths road racing.Some readers may recognize Jeff Schwartz's name--he won our Real Street Eliminator last fall with his mondo Cadillac. Jeff showed up at the Nats with his latest project, an Ultima GTR. The car is a British design that the end user finishes with the drivetrain of his choice. Jeff opted for a Corvette Z06 LS6 engine coupled to a turbo Porsche transaxle. The car drew a crowd the whole time it was parked, and Jeff took home the Best Engineered award.Cruising is sort of an unofficial activity at the event. Some cruisers are just on their way in, some are trolling for better parking, and some are just looking around while idling through the lanes. Although it adds to the congestion, most show goers don't seem to mind the constant parade of iron. A nimble two-seater with a drop-top is ideal for fairgrounds patrol.One of the sub-gatherings that has evolved at St. Paul is Mopar Alley, an entire lane of nothing but Pentastar power. The quality of the cars on display was outstanding, with plenty of rare factory iron in both restored and modified flavors.Although this is a Car Craft show, other sects of the automotive hobby were out in force. Probably the most evident were the low-rider and sport-truck guys. These are both distinctly separate groups...

About the Frederic Ewen Academic Freedom Center: The origins of the Frederic Ewen Academic Freedom Center at the Tamiment Library date from 1998 when Hebert Kurz approached Dr. Debra Bernhardt, then head of the Tamiment Library, about establishing an academic freedom archive at New York University in memory of his uncle, Frederic Ewen. Mr. Kurz saw that the struggle for intellectual and academic freedom was part of the larger history of the American Left documented by the Tamiment Library. The Frederic Ewen papers came to NYU in early 1999 and became the core collection of a wide-ranging academic freedom archive. Tamiment sought to build on this acquisition and identify other collections of institutional records and personal papers relating to academic freedom. The first phase of this project was a survey of collections in the New York area. This was quickly followed by the acquisition of a number of important archives including the papers of Morris Schappes; the records of the National Lawyers Guild; the records of the Boudin and Rabinowitz law firm; and the papers of Victor Rabinowitz, Irving Adler, and Sam Wallach. In 2006, NYU launched the Frederic Ewen Academic Freedom Center to make these collections accessible for research and to facilitate discourse on the subject of academic freedom. The center sponsors an annual research fellowship, an annual conference, occasional symposia, and book talks.

7 Wanted Criminals Who Made Mocking Police Into an Art Form
Despite what the media would have you believe, most of us do in fact know that Grand Theft Auto is just make-believe. You don't commit outlandish crimes in plain view and then brazenly escape the cops. In the real world, crooks get caught unless they hole up somewhere and disappear.
Well, most of the time. Here are some guys whose stories would have gotten cut from a GTA campaign for being too over-the-top.
#7. Crazy "Lazie" Lynch Escapes Jail, Publicly Mocks Police
The Crime:
When Craig "Lazie" Lynch escaped from custody in Suffolk, England, after being arrested for burglary, one of the first things he did after getting to a place with Internet access was log on to Facebook. He then figured, "Hey, I may as well screw with my former jailers while I'm at it."
Unfortunately all his shirts were recaptured by police.
The Audacity:
So he began posting pictures of himself with middle fingers raised to the cops. When he made it to Christmas without being caught, he posted: "Yes! Yes! I fuckin made it to Xmas. I beat their fuckin system and I love it!"
But he didn't stop there. He continued posting Facebook taunts to the police. For months.
Including this picture, accompanied by the heavily London-accented words, "If any of you was doubtin my freedom. Here's proof. How the FUCK could i get my hands on a bird like this in jail. Ha ha."
You're gonna get garland all over your freedom bird, dude.
And this picture:
Fox News
We're not sure "pull my finger" jokes really translate to Facebook.
And this picture:
Lost kittens, yard sales, dangerous wanted men ... the poster board sign knows how to get the job done.
This went on for more than four months, interspersed with several interviews with news stations that Lazie Lynch conducted by phone for the hell of it. By the time authorities eventually caught up to and nabbed Lynch, he had nearly 40,000 Facebook friends, a YouTube song in his honor, and T-shirts bearing his image, so it was obviously worth it, because that's seriously a lot of Facebook friends.
#6. Train Robber Hides Out by Throwing Barbecues, Recording Songs
Reuters, via Theaustralian.com
The Crime:
The Great Train Robbery is one of those events that all of us have heard of but few of us can recount in any detail. It went down in 1963 when 15 robbers boarded a Royal Mail train between Glasgow and London and made off with today's equivalent of $70 million. Some of them were eventually arrested, one of them escaped from prison and was later caught, and a couple of them were never captured at all. And then there was Ronnie Biggs.
Now that's a wanted poster that deserves a frame.
The Audacity:
Biggs was first arrested a year after the robbery when 9 of the 15 robbers were swept up in a raid. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but could only be contained for 15 months before he broke out by scaling a wall with a rope ladder, thus setting off a 36-year life on the lam. And by lam we mean a multi-continent party. He first moved to Australia because, you know, no one had ever done the U.K.-to-Australia route, and who would expect such a thing? Biggs' idea of keeping a low profile involved getting a day job at Melbourne's Channel 9 news, which was convenient, because he was able to get the heads up in October of 1969 when Channel 9 ran with the headline, "Ronnie Biggs Reported to Be Hiding in Melbourne."
"Could you rewind the teleprompter? I'm pretty sure it just said 'Get your shit and leave tonight.'"
Biggs then fled to Brazil, where he took audacity to whole new levels, doing things such as boarding a British Royal Navy ship to attend a cocktail party and hosting fundraising "fugitive barbecues" at his home in Rio, where he entertained paying tourists by regaling them with tales of his role in the Great Train Robbery. In 1980, Biggs recorded two songs for The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, a mockumentary about the Sex Pistols.
It takes a lot to make Sid Vicious' life choices seem sensible by comparison.
This kicked off Biggs' fugitive musical career, which included vocals on the song "Police on My Back" (which they were) with the German punk band Die Toten Hosen in 1991, three more songs for an Argentine punk band in 1993, and finally a 1997 collaboration with an American bass player on "Mailbag Blues," a musical narrative of Biggs' life (we're assuming the title song referred to the stolen mailbag full of $70 million).
If you're thinking that all of this was embarrassing for U.K. authorities, you are correct. In 1981, a team of British ex-soldiers kidnapped Biggs in Rio and attempted to haul him back to the U.K. on a ship but failed when the ship broke down off the coast of Barbados, drawing the attention of the coast guard. The Barbadian authorities weren't very sympathetic to the whole "We're just trying to bring a British fugitive to justice" cause (they saw it more as kidnapping), so Biggs was set free to return to Rio. The leader of the botched kidnapping operation would later hint that they'd been working under the direction of MI6, which actually sounds about right.
In 2001, Biggs was finally arrested in just about the only way he was likely ever going to be captured: by returning to the U.K. and surrendering, at the age of 69. He served a third of his 30-year prison sentence but was released early on compassionate grounds, despite being "wholly unrepentant."
"Robbed a train, got kidnapped, and became a punk icon. Time to throw a rude gesture and call this a life complete."
#5. Jean Claude Lacote Evades Police by Openly Becoming a TV Producer
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
The Crime:
Jean Claude Lacote was charged with hustling $10 million from unwary Belgian citizens by way of an investment scheme. In addition to scamming investors, he most likely murdered one of them (a British man) in 1996 on top of it, but was released on bail without being charged for the murder due to lack of evidence. But Lacote knew that absence of evidence was not evidence of absence, so he quickly absented his ass from Belgium and fled to South Africa in 1999.
We're assuming that's where he got that kickass vest.
The Audacity:
In Johannesburg, Lacote's idea of keeping a low profile involved producing a local reality TV show (a true crime series; truly, you can't make this stuff up) titled When Duty Calls.
It's a half-hour thrill ride of stock crime photography!
He did his hiding out in a mansion with his wife and a fleet of Ferraris, because the first thing you want to do when you're hiding out from the planet is put your name in the credits of a popular reality TV show and party it up in a high profile setup. Eventually, back in Belgium, the evidence that Lacote likely knew was out there turned up: In 2006, Belgian police found themselves with a solid case for Lacote as the murderer of the British investor, and Johannesburg police decided it was time to move in because, you know, harboring a fraudster is one thing, but a murderer is another.
After being arrested by South African authorities for having balls (as in parties, although it works the other way as well) in violation of several of Johannesburg's city ordinances, Lacote escaped from custody by arranging for two of his friends to show up at the jail wearing fake police uniforms and bearing counterfeit warrants to spring him from custody.
Darrin Klimek/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Is it still valid if the warrant is printed on the back of a Muffler King flyer?
Lacote is still on the run to this day and is one of Forbes' "World's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives," right up there with El Chapo Guzman. We're sure he's bound to stick his neck out again soon, probably producing a show called Getting Away With Murder.
#4. Embezzler Steals Big, Spends His Loot Buying Up the Country He Flees To
The Crime:
Kobi Alexander is the former CEO of Comverse Technology, a telecommunications company he started back in 1982 and which is still doing quite well for itself today. Back in 2006, the Department of Justice decided to let Alexander know that they were on to the fact that Comverse was always doing a little too well for its CEO, as it turned out that Alexander had been swindling investors out of tens of millions of dollars for years, to the eventual tune of $138 million. Charges were filed, and Alexander, instead of sticking around to do his white collar crime time, decided to take off, family in tow.
Presumably to one of the half dozen places left where he could still smoke indoors.
The Audacity:
Edward Snowden has taught us that, when skipping the country to flee the authorities, it's very important to choose the right nation. Alexander picked Namibia, an African country best known for its lush, sprawling deserts. Why Namibia, you ask? In short, its lack of an extradition treaty with the U.S., and its susceptibility to being bought off. And buy off Namibia he did.
Alexander got the ball rolling right away by purchasing a mansion in Namibia for $500,000 U.S., which is worth a cool 5 million in Namibian bucks. This was to let Namibia know that he planned to stay a while. He then went straight to Namibian government leaders to tell them that he would be establishing an annual educational scholarship for Namibian grade school students, as well as commencing construction on a solar-powered housing project for 100 low-income Namibian families.
Alexander had the Namibian government at "Hello."
Seeing as how the U.S. will likely never manage to get Namibia to turn over Alexander, he has settled in and made himself quite comfortable, putting on several displays of incredible audacity, such as suing the company he founded (and robbed) for $72 million, claiming the company still owes him severance, bonuses, and back pay.
Then, just a few months later, Alexander flew 200 guests in from New York and Israel to attend the bar mitzvah of his son. The nation of Namibia had a rather meager Jewish population until the day of the bar mitzvah, when Alexander instantly tripled it with his Jewish guests, who partook of a four-day celebration that included a popular Israeli hip-hop artist and a Namibian pop star. What we're saying is that being a fugitive is slightly different for rich people.

Goodnight, Sleepy Head: The Link Between Sleep and Childhood Obesity
In This Article:
Remember to treat sleep like a priority. It is important to schedule it into your family's day, just like you would any other activity. A well-rested child makes for a happier, healthier, and more productive child. And that will benefit your entire family.
Other Ways to Prevent Obesity
Aside from getting enough shut eye, there are other ways to help reduce your child's risk of becoming overweight or obese.
Try to limit time in front of the television and computer, including playing video games. Not only does it reduce physical activity, but it also invites mindless snacking. Encourage your children to be active, either through sports, play, or family activities.
Also, make an effort to sit down and eat together as a family as often as possible. Studies have shown this can drastically reduce a child's risk of obesity. Be a good role model by eating a healthy diet, providing nutritious meals, and encouraging your child to choose fresh foods over fast or processed options.
By making a family effort, you'll set your child on the right path to an active and healthy lifestyle.

As an example of such a historical myth that we all learned, there is the story that in his confrontation with Cardinal Bellarmine in 1632, Galileo had all the evidence on his side, won the intellectual argument by the weight of that evidence, and was defeated only by the ignorant prejudices the trial judges. However, historical studies have also advanced as more detailed information was obtained and reflected upon.
The actual situation was much more nuanced. The version of Copernican theory defended by Galileo assumed 1. a very small solar system, the size of which should clearly be seen by measurements of planetary parallax and 2. circular orbits, not elliptical (although Galileo knew of the work of Kepler, but declined to incorporate it). Both Copernicus and Galileo had attempted to measure parallax in the solar system, and failed to get a result > 0. (It was only measured by Bessell in 1838.) Furthermore, because it used circles for orbits, the Copernican model was actually less accurate than the old Ptolemaic epicycle system of approximations. In addition, Galileo predicted only a single tide/day, not the actual two.
On the other hand his unambiguous observation of Venus in all four phases in 1610 definitely ruled out the Aristotelian model of heavens, since in this model the sphere of the sun was always beyond the sphere of Venus, although the Tychonic, Capellan and Extended Capellan models were still possible, each either with or without a daily rotating Earth. These latter models had the virtue of explaining the phases of Venus without the vice of the 'refutation' of full Copernican heliocentrism's prediction of stellar parallax. From Wikipedia's article on Galileo, confirmed by Weinberg.
Conclusion: on the basis of the evidence available to them, the Church had a pretty strong case on the evidence against Copernican heliocentrism, arguably stronger than Galileo. Furthermore, on the basis of contemporary documents and doctrines going back to Augustine and the 4th century, if the church had seen conclusive proof in favor of the Copernican system, it was already formally committed to changing its interpretation. The Church, being engaged in a power struggle during the reformation, would likely have followed conclusive evidence had it been presented.
Refs: see the historically accurate and nuanced video at http://online.itp.ucsb.edu/online/colloq/tutino1/rm/qt.html, for slides see http://online.itp.ucsb.edu/online/colloq/tutino1/, book at Google. This is not an obscure, idiosyncratic view of the Galileo affair, but rather the generally accepted view of knowledgeable scholars.
What other famous oversimplified or false myths of this sort do you know and can document and or reference corrections to?

I have a picture of a map of Europe with proper borders. I need to color each country in different shades of color according to certain properties of the country. This is trivial manually in PS or GIMP with the Fill tool. However, I need to do it many times over, with different colors for different use cases, so I would want to automate it. I'm comfortable programming, but have zero experience in scripting graphical tools.
Any hints on what the best way to do it would be? Imagemagick, Gimp? If at all possible, I would prefer free tools (since it's a one off thing, i dont want to invest into PS).

What would be the best character to make for sub-sea and island-hopping adventuring? This would be a newly-rolled level 5 Pathfinder character.

I wouldn't say there's "one best," but there are certainly good ones. Mainly it's the same as being above water, except for mobility and breathing :-) I assume the reason you're starting at level 5 is your DM wants you all to have water breathing. You need to watch out for dispels, though.
An aquatic druid is a strong choice as @C.Ross mentions.
Consider a race with good swimming and/or a swim speed. Open Design's "Sunken Empires" has one, the half-merfolk. Or an aquatic variant; in Golarion there are the gillmen which is a human variant that can breathe water but can't be out of it for more than a day.
Warrior types that don't use heavy armor are good. High Str helps with that Swim skill. Also keep in mind that piercing weapons are the best underwater.
A cleric with the Water domain, e.g. of Gozreh, gets water breathing as a third level domain spell. There's one of those in my pirate-themed Pathfinder game.
As a summoner you can make an eidolon with a Swim speed, but have to use water breathing to let it breathe.
Don't try an archer or using thrown weapons, it basically doesn't work. Rely on casters for your distance punch.
Freedom of movement is your friend. A cleric with Liberation domain always has it as a 4th level domain spell AND gets it as a domain power. The Luck domain gets it as a domain spell.
Druids are extremely useful in an aquatic environment.
Note: This answer is based heavily off the 3.5 rules. If anything here does not apply to Pathfinder, please edit or comment.
Explore the class features list of this thread, many classes have an aquatic variant. Most of the references there come from the book Stormwrack, which has an excellent discussion of aquatic campaigns.
Look at the aquatic race variants here.
From this flexibility, you get the option of running with functionally any class you want to play. If you are looking for a specific class, make sure to tailor your selections to the other player's "tiers" as an average variation of more than one tier can make for an uncomfortable party fit.
Do you have any other requirements beyond "aquatic" campaign? (This answer will be edited to fit, if more specific requirements are posted.)
I don't know pathfinder, but in DnD3.5. Anyone who can use the alter self spell, to convert them into creatures that can swim and breathe underwater (or fly over the water), can be a useful character in this campaign.
For instance, if the character is a humanoid wizard, it could alter self into an aquatic elf (to swim between the islands) or an avariel elf (to fly between the islands).
The important thing to remember is that to go between the islands you don't need to swim, and in some cases it may be safer if you don't swim. And while you are on the island, you want all the benefits of a land based creature.
Alluria Publishing has released a 300-page "campaign setting and undersea sourcebook" for Pathfinder called Cerulean Seas. You can find out more about at at paizo.com or rpgnow.
If you want a good underwater caster(or excellent underwater support), then the witch with the Water Lung hex is an excellent one as it can be used continuously. It does have the drawback of eating most of a witch's rounds though(if used to support a party)
As to summoner, an Eidolon can serve as an excellent water-mount as it can be granted a swim speed, gills and ability to be rode at first level. Or if you want, just go with the Aquatic base model for the Eidolon.

Located at the most southern end of South Sulawesi, this quiet and now isolated island of Selayar, with its swathes of pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear tropical waters used to have an illustrious past.
Ancient Javanese writings in the Nagara Kertagama mention that in the 14th century there was already a thriving kingdom on Selayar. This pre-Islamic kingdom seemed to have been a hub of trade, visited by merchants from China, the Philippines and Thailand, having left evidence of its existence in the many precious artifacts excavated here. Most notable is the beautiful Dongson Kettledrum, the largest in the world, that is said to be 2,000 years old dating back to the Bronze Age. Other artifacts include delicate Chinese and Sawankholok (Thai) porcelain, which were found in abundance on the island. Islam seems to have entered Selayar in the 16th century spread by followers of the Sultan of Ternate, in Maluku.
In the 16th century Salayar was fought over for its blue-white cotton products, a favorite in the archipelago. And when the Dutch won hegemony over Selayar, they monopolized the cotton trade, forcing Selayar to send the cotton only to Fort Rotterdam in Makassar. However today, with modern fabrics the popularity of cotton waned and the people of Salayar were forced to return to living from coconut produce, relegating the island to its present isolation.
Due to the geographical shape and location of Selayar, standing vertical on the Makassar – Moluccas trade route, - when Ternate , Tidore, Ambon and Banda were the main producers of spices and Makassar was the center of trade, - the island of Selayar became an undisputable important territory that could either contribute to or hinder the spice trade.
The 80 km. long island of Selayar is in fact gateway to the spectacular Taka Bonerate National Park that teems with colorful coral reefs, giant sponges, a wealth of fish species including dugongs and tuna, gliding past turtles and manta rays. Comprising 21 islands and atolls, Taka Bonerate is the third biggest atoll in the world after the Marshall Islands and the Maldives. Although still predominantly covered by rainforests, Selayar boasts many pristine white sand beaches
The largest town on the island is called Benteng, a bustling little town of motorbikes and trishaws. The town center is the "alun-alun" , the town square, where on one side still stands a solid old prison built by the Dutch in the 1890s. The square is the focal point of celebrations and events happening on the island.
For more detailed information you can log on to the website of The Culture and Tourism Office of Selayar Regency at www.selayartourism.com.
The web lists hotels, guesthouses, cottages and home-stays in Benteng. The friendly staff can also arrange a tour guide, liaise with SMAC air, arrange traditional wooden boat trips and recommend restaurants. Most speak English.
Here are a number of beach resorts on the island:
Selayar Island Resort
Baloyia Beach on the Baloiya road at km 10 from Bentengwebsite : www.selayarislandresort.comThe resort offers beachfront bungalows and access to 50 world-class dive sites, sloops and walls
Selayar Eco Resort
Pinang Beach, Selayar
To get to Selayar you can travel overland from Makassar to the town of Tanjung Bira, and take the ferry to Selayar from here. The sea journey takes two hours. But when the seas are choppy, ferries donot sail.
There are air conditioned buses from Makassar, leaving at 9.0 am and arriving at Benteng at 07.30 pm travelling via Bira, where the ferry carries passengers and bus to Salayar.
Alternatively, you can try the SMAC charter flights from Makassar to Selayar, that flies here three times weekly,on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, although its schedule is quite sporadic. The flight takes 40 minutes.
Useful contacts:
SMAC Office in Selayar : +62 414 21361, or +62 81355222282
Selayar Airport : +62 414 2700099, or +62 85242016932
It is recommended to make your travel arrangements through bona fide travel agents in Makassar, your Selayar Hotel and Dive Sites or the Selayar Regency Culture and Tourist Office.

ResearchFunctions of Tumor Suppressor Proteins
Our laboratory studies tumor suppressor genes and the normal functions of the proteins they encode. The long-term goal of this work is to lay the foundation for the development of new anticancer therapies based on the functions of specific tumor suppressor proteins. For example, it may be possible to develop a drug that mimics the behavior of a certain tumor suppressor protein, or to design strategies for killing only those cells in which a particular tumor suppressor protein has been inactivated, thus sparing normal cells.
We are currently concentrating on the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (pVHL), the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRB), and the p53-like protein p73. pVHL inactivation is common in several cancers including clear cell renal carcinoma. Our laboratory established that when oxygen is available, pVHL targets for destruction another protein called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Cells lacking pVHL, or starved of oxygen, accumulate HIF, which activates a cadre of genes that facilitate adaptation to hypoxia. We showed that downregulation of HIF is both necessary and sufficient for pVHL to suppress the growth of renal carcinomas in experimental models. This work motivated clinical trials of agents that inhibit HIF-responsive growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). At least one VEGF inhibitor will likely be approved for the treatment of renal carcinoma in 2005.
Earlier work by our group showed that the binding of pVHL to HIF requires that HIF be hydroxylated on one of two proline residues. Preclinical data suggest that preventing this modification pharmacologically might be useful for the treatment of diseases characterized by impaired oxygen delivery, including myocardial infarctions and strokes.
In other research, we are studying tuberous sclerosis, a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by mutations of either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. We recently discovered that TSC1 and TSC2, like pVHL, regulate HIF; we also found that another protein, REDD1, plays an important role in adaptation to chronic hypoxia by modulating the function of TSC1 and TSC2.
The best understood function of the pRB protein is its ability to inhibit the E2F transcription factor. We discovered that pRB interacts with another protein, RBP2, which also has features of a transcription factor. Importantly, we showed that inhibition of RBP2 in cells lacking pRB induces some of the same changes observed following restoration of pRB function, including the induction of differentiation. We are now studying the biochemistry of RBP2 in greater detail.

This Week's Liturgy
Other Sheep
April 26th, 2015 (see other dates)
Fourth Sunday of Easter
Discussion Questions for Reading 1In today's world, as well as in ancient times, innocent people are sometimes accused of wrongdoing and good deeds are sometimes met with criticism or blame. What examples can you think of from the news, from TV or movies, or from your own life? Why do you think these things happen? What does Peter's response to his accusers tell you about him? How has he changed since he denied that he knew Jesus when Jesus was under arrest?
In what ways can we show that we, like Peter, keep Jesus at the center of our lives?
Reading 1 Acts 4:8-12
Reading 1 ReflectionThis reading presents us with a scene from a courtroom drama. An innocent man has been accused of lying and misleading people. However, the truth is that he has cured a paralyzed man simply by praying for him in the name of Jesus Christ. The Jewish leaders refuse to believe him because they have rejected Jesus as the Messiah.
The defendants in the case are Peter and John. They courageously insist that Jesus is the Savior of the entire human race, Jews and Gentiles alike.
Discussion Questions for Reading 2What family resemblance's do you share with your parents or grandparents? How have your parents and grandparents helped you to realize that you are a child of God? Name some of the ways you, your family, or your friends show that you are children of God.
At our Baptism, we rejected "Satan, father of sin and prince of darkness." What signs of the "father of sin" do you see in the world today? In what ways can your parish help people your age to reject the "prince of darkness"?
Reading 2 1 John 3:1-2
Reading 2 ReflectionOthers sometimes compare us to our parents by saying that we "look just like your father" or "act just like your mother." However, as this reading points out, we are all children of God. And one day our resemblance to God will be revealed. Meanwhile, the world may not recognize us for who we are because it has not recognized Jesus as the Son of God.
By remaining faithful to our Baptism, we show our resemblance to God. By treating all people as our brothers and sisters, we act like Jesus, our Brother.
Discussion Questions for GospelIn ancient Israel, a good shepherd was admired for his courage, dedication, and ability to provide everything his flock required. Who do you think might be considered good shepherds in today's world? Why? In what ways do you see Jesus as the Good Shepherd?
How are the followers of Jesus called to "shepherd" others who may be lost or afraid, weak or without guidance?
Gospel John 10:11-18
Gospel ReflectionWhen Jesus wanted to describe himself, he did not compare himself to a magnificent king or a powerful ruler. He said, "I am the good shepherd." And the people of his time knew immediately that he was speaking of a humble caretaker of the flock that depended on him for survival. Some shepherds work only for pay and leave their sheep unprotected. The good shepherd lays down his life to save them. No one forces him to do so. He chooses to give his life for the sheep he knows by name and loves to the end.
The Good Shepherd looks forward to the day when all people will "be one flock." They will recognize his voice and be gathered into his fold.
Proclaiming Faith Activities for Primary Grades
The CornerstoneIn the first reading, Peter refers to Jesus as the cornerstone of the Church. Illustrate this on a bulletin board. Give each child a stone drawn on a piece of construction paper. Have the children cut these out and glue torn pieces of gray or tan paper on the stones in mosaic style. Have the children write their names on their stones. Make one large stone and write "Jesus" on it. Use this as the cornerstone as the base stone of a church building. Use the children's stones to make an outline of a church on the bulletin board.
The Good ShepherdIn today's gospel, Jesus refers to himself as the Good Shepherd, who knows his sheep and whose sheep know him.
Play the good shepherd game. Have all the children sit in a circle on the floor. Select one child to be the good shepherd. Have the good shepherd close his eyes or turn his back away from the children. Point to one child and signal to that child to leave the room or hide behind a desk. Then have all the children baa like sheep to alert the good shepherd that one sheep is missing. Have the good shepherd try to figure out who is missing. Then have that child rejoin the group and become the good shepherd. Continue until all children have had a turn being the good shepherd.
Proclaiming Faith Activities
Role-playing the Children of GodWith others in your group, role-play how you think a child of God would respond in each of these situations.
At your table in the school cafeteria, a fellow student is being criticized for organizing a fundraiser for the local homeless shelter. She is accused of "trying to get attention" and "pretending to be a saint when we all know what she's really like."
The football team is on the bus, heading for a rival school. Two players are plotting ways to insult and provoke the opposition players to ruin their concentration. The two players then discuss how they can get away with damaging property at the rival school. They are overheard by three teammates.
A group of young people outside a mall encounters a shabbily dressed man who is drinking from a bottle hidden in a paper bag. He stumbles and falls. Other passers-by laugh and make comments about the "wino."
Name the qualities of the children of God you have role-played.
Illustrating a Good LeaderMost modern people have never met a shepherd. Imagine what kind of person in today's world Jesus might compare himself with to illustrate the sort of leader he is. Then sketch or write a description of your version of the Good Shepherd. Explain your choice.

teriyaki tofu with asparagus + snow peas recipe

A yummy recipe that I will definitely try! Thank you Emma for sharing this.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're welcome love xxDelete
Wow. That looks so delicious!! And with those photographs of yours, its so tempting. Lovely!ReplyDeleteReplies
Aww, thank you Minnie :-)Delete
I was vegetarian from the age of 11 - 19 and my Mum often asked me to cook a separate dish for myself (which I think is where I learned a lot of my cooking skills!). Even though I now eat meat (including your dreaded chicken!) I love tofu and this looks like a deliciously simple way to serve it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ah cool, so it was a blessing in disguise having to cook for yourselfDelete
Looks healthy and delicious. Hurrah for your little sidekick! How adorable and helpful. xReplyDeleteReplies
She totally is :-)Delete
when i lived with my parents, on the nights that bun bo hue was made i always made myself something else to eat. i would explain to my stepmother that it was not my fave dish and i would either have leftovers or make a simple instant noodle bowl to eat with the rest of the family. i didn't think it was fair to require her to make me something else just because of my food preference and as an adult now i am lucky in that my darling beloved will eat anything i put in front of him. my roommate before him was the same.ReplyDelete
incidentally, i now love bun bo hue and truth be told, if push came to shove, i would make a separate meal for someone if they didn't like what i was eating, because ultimately, food is love and i like to prepare it for others.Replies
I like your way of thinking love :-) And funnily my hubby has never ever liked Pho (which is similar to Bun bo hue eh?) and his mum always just grilled meat to have with rice on nights she cooked Pho. Me, I could eat (vege) Pho everyday!Delete
This looks delicious. I 'll have to find something to replace the asparagus and peas here in the northern hemisphere. YUM!ReplyDeleteReplies
Any veges will do. Whatever you'd usually put in a stir-fry :-)Delete
I hate it when that little stringy bit is left on the pea too!ReplyDelete
I never cook two meals, except two pots of pasta (plain and gluten free) but I will dish up meals and scoop out offensive vegetables from my husbands serving so he gets more meat and us girls get more green goodies :)
Great recipe indeed!
Hi Emma, just made this dish! It was soooo tasty. I doubled the recipe to have some extra for lunches and did the tofu in about 3 batches. I also halved the amount of oil cos my wok is brand new. :-)ReplyDelete
I also used shitake mushrooms instead of aspargus, and it was delish!Replies
Oh great Julie! Shiitake mushrooms would be LOVELY :-)Delete
That sounds like a huge pain, to cook two meals. The closest I've come to doing that is at my father-in-law's house, when I made pasta with beans and tomatoes and ate that, then also made a separate meat sauce for omnivores to spoon over it once they'd dished theirs up. My beloved omnivores were fine with that, since they all got what they wanted and they were all right with having beans in the pasta. I also could have left the beans in their own bowl and people could just get their own, like a taco bar. Maybe you could make a meal like this teriaki tofu, but saute some chicken in a separate pan so that anyone who wants it can add it to their stir fry. Or make a stew, and have some sauteed beef on the side. You know, present the meat as an ingredient for people to add, rather than doing two whole meals. I would hate that.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh nah, it really is fine. I only cook chicken about 2 times a month, really no biggy. And I just grill it Vietnamese style and do often serve stir-fried veges or whatever I am eating that night on the side of the chicken for Papa and son and we all eat rice with our dinner. Easy.Delete
The tofu teriyaki looks really good. Love your pictures.ReplyDelete
I am always looking for ways to prepare tofu. I quite like it anyway, but it really needs to be done well if I want to serve it to nonvegetarian friends.
Yum! My husband is the big tofu eater in our house, which works out nice. I'll have to make this soon!ReplyDelete
Yum! I love eating tofu out, but have never cooked it myself. Will have to give it a go.ReplyDelete

The winner of this dish is your sauce - it was amazing! You could use this to stir-fry a range of vegetables, or even with meat. I personally fried some garlic, ginger and chilli before frying the vegetables because I'm Asian, so I can't do without!ReplyDelete
Gee - that just looks so easy to make. I LOVE teriyaki tofu. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I just made this tonight and oh my word... the best! I never tried fried tofu but it's way better than meat!ReplyDelete

Capuano appointed Wilby interim coach
WATERBURY — Gino Capuano was appointed interim head coach for the Wilby High football team Friday afternoon.
Capuano, a business teacher at Wilby since 2004 and a former Wildcats' freshman coach, will guide the Wildcats during Monday's opening day of conditioning practice, according to athletic director Stephen Baldwin.
A former football player at Watertown, Capuano applied for the Wilby vacancy in the spring of 2011. The job eventually went to Patrick Russo, who guided the Wildcats to a 4-6 record. Russo abruptly resigned Aug. 3.
Last spring, Capuano coached the Wilby boys tennis team.
Late Friday afternoon, Baldwin received official confirmation from the Waterbury schools superindent's office of Capuano's appointment.
School administrative officials were unavailable Friday. Capuano also couldn't be reached for comment.
Capuano coached the Wilby freshman during Chris Eckert's coaching tenure from 2008-10. A 1997 Watertown High graduate, Capuano played at Watertown before a hip injury sidelined him in his senior year.
He formerly was a volunteer football coach with the Indians.

(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) – Saudi Arabia's Council of Senior Ulema (Religious Scholars) has issued an edict condemning attacks and other violence against innocents. The edict also conveys that it is a crime to randomly judge people as "infidels" and target them for violence.
The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and Chairman of the Council of Senior Ulema Shaikh Abdulaziz Al-Ashaikh said that this is a very serious matter as it relates to the shedding of innocent blood, the bombing of buildings, and the destruction of public and private installations. The edict issued by the Council on this matter is as follows:
"The acts of shedding the blood of innocent people, the bombing of buildings and ships, and the destruction of public and private installations are criminal acts and against Islam. Those who carry out such acts have deviant beliefs and misguided ideologies and are to be held responsible for their crimes. Islam and Muslims should not be accountable for the actions of such people. Islamic Law clearly prohibits leveling such charges against non-Muslims, warns against following those who carry such deviant beliefs, and stresses that it is the duty of all Muslims all over the world to consult truthfully, share advice, and cooperate in piety and righteousness."
Violence against Westerners has not been an issue or problem in Saudi Arabia. However, the religious authorities took this step to reinforce the prohibition in Islam against all forms of violence.

Barefoot or minimalist? Midfoot or forefoot strike? New studies show the debate may be null.
The fitness industry is full of hotly contested opinions. Which shoe to wear and how to land are two of the current topics being debated by scientists, trainers, engineers and even the athletes themselves. Footstrike and shoe design are interdependent on each other. How you land determines the shoe you should wear. At the same time, many runners are selecting a shoe that they think will help them improve a certain form of running.

After I login facebook I want to save the content of https://www.facebook.com/pages (no specific page id but the url as you see it, and see suggested Favorite Pages, not pages I like or selected)
I am not trying to obtain the list of the pages the user admins, nor the list of pages they like. So /me/accounts or /me/likes are not useful. I try to obtain all the pages that are added in Facebook, from the last time I visited this url and it suggests them as pages I may like
I am using the example of http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/php/ and I take the profile of user I have. So far so good.
I tried to retrieve data using
and so on but all of them where wrong or by using Graph API pages?id=USER_ID there were Unsupported get/post request.
As Igy said "Suggested pages is not a feature of the API, only the facebook.com interface"
Something else I tried is to save the url with file_get_contents. As urls I used the
ini_set('user_agent','MSIE 4\.0b2;'); //to pretend that I am a browser, it works
http://www.facebook.com/pages?id=USER_ID and
Although the save is done properly, facebook doesn't recognize the authorization and shows the page I want but for users without login.
I tried javascript in Facebook JavaScript Test Console and after logging in it opens the page recognizing authorization. The code is

div = document.getElementById('authResponse'),
showAuthRecord = function(response) {
if (!response.authResponse) {
div.innerHTML = 'Not Connected';
} else {
var html = '
';
for (var key in response.authResponse) {
html += (
'
' +
'' + key + '	' +
'' + response.authResponse[key] + '	' +
div.innerHTML = html;
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', showAuthRecord);
Is there a way to do this in PHP, or Graph API or FQL Query ? Or add in javascript, code to save the page I open ? I haven't found anything yet.

Did Jesus pray to God according to the prevalent Jewish customs? How did he pray to God? What does the Gospel say about it?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Indeed, Jesus did prayer to his Father, as His Father.
There are many, many other examples, as this link shows.
During many times in His life, Jesus withdrew from His disciples and the crowds, to be alone to pray. He often went up on a mountainside or went to solitary or lonely places to pray. Sometimes He even went to pray very early in the morning, while it was still dark (Matthew 14:23, Mark 1:35, 6:46, Luke 5:16).
The eternal Father and the eternal Son had an eternal relationship before Jesus took upon Himself the form of a man. In John 5:19-27, we get to know this relationship where Jesus says that "whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise." Particularly in verse 23 He says:
Jesus taught that He and His Father are one (John 10:30), meaning that He and His Father are of the same substance and the same essence.
Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took upon Himself sinless humanity, giving up His heavenly glory (Philippians 2:5-11). Jesus was both God and man in one person. For this reason we see His tempting by Satan (Matt. 4:1-11), accused falsely by men, rejected by His people, and eventually crucified. He had a will. He ate. He slept, etc.
He was a man. He needed to be a human in order to bear the sins of people. He needed to be God in order to offer a sacrifice to God the Father sufficient to cleanse us of our sins. No mere man could do this. But the fact is, Jesus was one person -- and still is. Jesus was both God and man at the same time in the form of a single person. It is, therefore, not surprising that Christ did what every God-fearing person is supposed to do, namely pray to God.
In John 17, from verse 1 to 5 Jesus prays to God to glorify him by completing the works that he was to fulfil for the salvation of humanity by dying on the cross though he was God. In the second part from verse 6 to 19 he prays for his disciples. And lastly from verse 20 to 26 he prays for all the humanity.
In this full chapter of John 17, we see that whatever he was communing with his Father was like a conversation. It is the Son of God in His humanity talking with God the Father, two parts of the tri-unity, along with the Holy Spirit, the Father God, the Son God, and the Spirit God, not three gods, but one God existing as three persons.
Yes he did, as a son would, there was many time in the gospels were Jesus would leave his followers and spend time alone with God. There were times when Jesus fasted and prayed "Luke 6;12" Jesus went into the mountain area to pray and he spent the whole night in prayer to God.

Let $K$ be a quadratic imaginary field, $\bf n$ an ideal in the ring of integers ${\cal O}_K$ and $\xi$ an algebraic Hecke character of type $(A_0)$ for the modulus $\bf n$. One knows (from Weil) that there exists a number field $E=E_\xi\supseteq K$ with the property that $\xi$ takes values in $E^\times$.
Let $p$ be a prime that splits in $K$. Consider the following condition: there exists an unramified place $v\mid p$ in $E$ with residue field $k_v={\Bbb F}_p$ such that $\xi$ takes values in the group of $v$-units in $E$.
The condition implies the existence of a $p$-adic avatar of $\xi$ with values in ${\Bbb Z}_p^\times$.
I would like to know:
1) to the best of your knowledge, has been this condition considered somewhere? does it have a "name"?
2) I'm tempted to say that $\xi$ is $p$-split if the condition is satisfied (and that $v$ splits $\xi$). Would this name conflict with other situations that I should be aware of?

You're Only as Old as You Feel
By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health News
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
Nov. 20, 2012 -- The old saying "You're only as old as you feel" has new life, backed up by a new study.
Researchers found older people with positive views on aging were 44% more likely to recover fully after severe disability than those with negative views on aging.
People with positive attitudes about aging also had a slower decline in their ability to do daily tasks such as dressing and bathing.
"It may be something worth considering that might help people's recovery," says researcher Becca Levy, PhD, associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health.
Upside to a Positive Attitude
Until now, experts say, most of the research on attitudes about aging and health has looked at the health risks and losses linked to a negative outlook.
But this study suggests there may be tangible health benefits to having a more positive view about aging.
"It's not just about reducing the losses associated with aging, but also about making gains in one's health or disability status and regaining what might have been lost," says Tara L. Stewart, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Idaho State University.
"These people with positive stereotypes about aging experienced health gains and better recovery, not just a reduction of health losses," Stewart says.
Views on Aging Affect Recovery
In the study, researchers periodically surveyed 598 people aged 70 or older about their views on aging over a period of about 11 years.
None were disabled when the study started, but later on, all of them had at least one month when they needed help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, or walking. In some cases, their disability was severe; other cases were mild.
They were asked for the first five words or phrases that come to mind when they think of old people. The researchers rated their responses on a five-point scale as most positive, like "spry," or most negative, like "decrepit."
The results appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The findings were strongest for older people with the most severe types of disability.
They were 44% more likely to fully recover from severe disability than those with negative age stereotypes.
Also, older people with positive views on aging were more likely to progress from severe disability to mild disability or mild disability to no disability.
Older people with positive age stereotypes also had a slower rate of decline in their ability to perform daily activities as they got older.
Of course, many factors affect whether or to what extent a person recovers from disability. This study does not prove that a positive attitude about aging made a difference. But it showed the strongest relationship between age stereotypes and recovery was among those people with positive age stereotypes and the most severe type of disability.
Attitude and Aging
Positive views on aging may help people bounce back from disability and promote independent living in a variety of ways, the researchers say.
One of the biggest ways may be psychological. Stewart says a person's attitudes about aging say a lot about how much they believe their health is under their own control.
For example, people who view seniors as spry rather than decrepit may be more likely to live a healthy lifestyle, keep up on their doctor appointments, and take their medicines as prescribed.
"Holding a negative stereotype about aging, like believing illness is caused by aging, would cause them to feel less in control and responsible for their health and lead to different sorts of strategies," Stewart says.
Levy also says there may be a physiological side to it.
"People who have more positive age stereotypes tend to have the advantage in experiencing stress," says Levy. "They tend to suffer from less cardiovascular stress."
Researchers say the next step is to look at how people can upgrade their attitudes about aging.
"We need to emphasize some of the positive as we get older instead of focusing on the developmental losses that may happen with aging," Stewart says.

For many years this stretch of the Guadalupe River path, at the San Jose airport economy parking area (formerly rental), turned into a mudhole when it rained. No more. The path has been paved from the airport all the way to Montague Expressway. However, the path is closed because some concrete needs to be poured at the intersection. I guess these "green zones" are a way to indicate motorbikes are not allowed.

LD Scholarships
Q: My son is a senior in high school and will be attending college next fall. He has learning disabilities and ADD. He will not qualify for academic scholarships. We've been trying to find some LD/ADD scholarships and haven't had much success. Do you know of any or have any ideas of where we could search?
A: There is a new scholarship for high-school students with learning disabilities from the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD). You can get more information about it by logging on to their website.
Other than NCLD, I don't know about scholarships geared towards students with LD/ADHD. However, there are a number of resources available to help to smooth the way towards college for kids now in high school. Have a look at Peterson's Colleges with Programs for Students with Learning Disabilities and The College Student with a Learning Disability: A Handbook by Susan Vogel. LD Online also has a number of articles about this topic.

V&A Waterfront waters – A Cape Town Tourism Photo Essay
Most of us go to the V&A Waterfront to shop or eat at the restaurants.
Yesterday I decided to walk from the Cape Grace, where magnificent and very expensive yachts are moored at the quay.
From there I walked along the canal towards Cape Town CBD - offices on one side and homes on the other - with a yacht moored outside one or two homes.
I stopped short to take a pic of Table Mountain - which always takes my breath away (don't forget to vote for our mountain). I gather one can go much further along - you can also catch the water taxi that takes you to the CTICC.
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

Low attendance means decreased funding to the school district equaling about $10,000 a day.
The closure takes effect on Tuesday, Jan. 14.

Lion's Head Sunsets
A view from Lion's Head. Photo by Mike Metelerkamp.
It had been about a year-and-a-half since my last climb up Lion's Head, so I jumped at the opportunity to join a group of friends who were going up last weekend.
I encourage everyone in Cape Town to do this more regularly. Lion's Head is only minutes from the CBD and the climb isn't a very intensive one, especially considering the reward at the top.
There isn't a whole lot of summer weather left, so put on some walking shoes and make it part of your weekend.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session (11/12/12)
November 12, 2012
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet session at Al-Yamamah palace in Riyadh today by welcoming Prince Mohammed bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, the new Minister of Interior, and wishing him every success.
The Cabinet congratulated the King on the success of the Hajj season, praising a speech he delivered to pilgrims calling for unity among Muslims and the adoption of anti-blasphemy laws around the world. Then, King Abdullah briefed the ministers on his most recent consultations with foreign leaders and officials, especially regarding the situations in Palestine and Syria.
Reviewing international developments, the Cabinet condemned the deadly terrorist bombings that took place in Manama last week, reiterating the Kingdom's full solidarity with Bahrain in addressing the violence and terrorist acts that go against the teachings of Islam. The ministers welcomed the agreement signed last night by the Syrian opposition in Doha establishing the "National Coalition for the Revolutionary Forces and the Syrian Opposition," which has created a united front to represent the Syrian people.
Addressing its remaining agenda items, the Cabinet approved the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu at the non-resident ambassador level; approved a customs cooperation agreement with Jordan, signed in Amman on 10/19/11; and approved regulations for private family guidance centers, which aim to enhance family stability.
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Mohammed Al-Qirnas as Undersecretary of the General President of Youth Welfare for Sports Affairs at the General Presidency of Youth Welfare; Salman Namshan as Director General of the Main Office of Youth Welfare in Riyadh at the General Presidency of Youth Welfare; Ibrahim Al-Wazan as Head of the Public Notary Office at the Ministry of Justice; Mohammed Al-Meijel as Director General of the Minister's Office at the Ministry of Water and Electricity; and Mohammed Al-Khimshi as Director General of Administrative and Financial Affairs at the General Presidency of Scholarly Research and Ifta. All of the appointments were made at the 14th rank.

Since the corpses of all the wild animals I kill seem to exist in the world forever, I can't help wonder if there is limited supply of these creatures. If not, how long before new ones are created? And will the dead animal bodies ever decompose?
I am not positive about this; some of the information with regards to respawn timings are a bit weird at the moment. From what I can tell it's around 15 in game days for respawn. I'm not sure if this is exact; it might be dependent on you not visiting the area for a certain amount of time, but I don't think this is the case. Also for corpses to decompose I believe it is about the same time.
There are an infinite number of animals to whimsically slaughter as you see fit. The corpses you've strewn across the land will eventually despawn, but in the meantime the game is perfectly happy to spawn new innocent, unsuspecting, fuzzy little targets for your depredations.
