Book 7 in the Wheel of Time series, Crown of Swords is the first one of the series where it took me some effort to get through some parts. This one, in my opinion, is the first one where RJ's attention to detail becomes a detriment as opposed to an asset. It begins with Rand reestablishing himself in Cairhien after the events in the previous book (Lord of Chaos) and ends with a pretty important battle.
What I liked:
*Mat and his adventures are as funny as ever!
*Mat vs. Gholam
*Introduction of Cadsuane (some people consider that a minus, but I actually like her character). Hers is a thankless job, but necessary.
*The battles in Illian and Shadar Logoth.
*The return of the Seanchan.
What I didn't like:
*Mat and Tylin moments. Something about that whole storyline really bothered me.
*Elayne and Nynaeve, particularly their treatment of Mat. If someone treated me that way, they'd never see me again no matter how close we had been in the past! Their quest is quite drawn out as well.
*Even though the slow parts had relevant information, these parts were too big and quite tedious.
In Summary:
The Previous books in the series all had a certain excitement to them (for lack of a better term) that kept me going even through the occasional slow parts. That edge of your seat excitement was missing from this book at times. It only arose when the battles approached and made itself scarce during the overly descriptive slow parts. Still, there was story progression and the battles & Intrigue were great enough such that after finishing this book, I was greatly looking forward to the next one. I rounded the 3.Read more ›
To sum it up ... my problem with Jordan is that he pounds some of these ideas into our heads TOO often. No one is going to read Crown of Swords without reading the other books first ... but he keeps repeating the craziness of the Aeil, the Cairhienin stoicness, the Aes Sedai's nausea at men channeling ... y'know? I'm sure us readers could list a million of these.
Finally, the first 6 chapters of this book are difficult to get through becuase he throws out 100 names of lords and Aiel and Aes Sedai and such. The cast of this world is dizzyingly large and I think he uses all of them in those chapters. But get beyond Rand's return to Cairhein and Caemlyn and it settles down a bit.
For one thing, the story goes absolutely nowwhere. Rand is is still complaining, Elayne and Nynaeve(Light burn them!) are still searching for supernatural kitchenware, and Perrin is still as boring as ever. Jordan tries to bulk up his tedious narrative with needless details. Who cares what Nynaeve is wearing!
The female characters are even more annoying than ever. Elayne is the same chatering fool she was since book 1, but now she is even more vexing since half the book focuses on her. Nynaeve tugs on her braid some 22,000 times during the course of the book. The female characters are seem to have the sane annoying personality. It seems like Jordan couldn't write women if his ife depende on it.
In short, avoid this book at all costs.
Meanwhile, Rand, ever mindful of the oily taint of saidin, wished he knew as much about women as Mat and Perrin did. Perrin, ever mindful of Faile's constant nagging, wished he knew as much about women as Rand and Mat did. And Mat, freshly bedded at knifepoint by Queen Tylin, wished lhe knew as much, etc.
Elsewhere, in Tear or somewhere, the cleavage was robust, the chamber pots were made of porcelain, the lace dresses with the little silver thingies in them were very pretty and the forked beards shone in the pale summer morning like flaxen straw or some crap. Earrings were bright and sparkly and horses wore intricate, ornate saddles and, and uh...did I mention the cleavage and how firm and robust it was? Darkfriends walked the streets and did...things. Whitecloaks arrested anybody who said the word "darkfriend" and looked at them funny. Several Aes Sedai were stilled and then just as quickly unstilled...then stilled again if they stepped out of line. Other Aes Sedai, meanwhile, searched high and low for various weather-altering kitchen utensils. And the Sean'chean invaded every so often, just to keep things mildly interesting...
...and stuff

Thank you for recommending "Everything for people who love horses from expert advice on horse care and horse riding to recent equine news.". Your recommendation has been successfully processed.
Friend 1
Heat and exercise can lead to serious problems with overheating. Most people know a horse should be cooled out after exercise, but there's a lot of misinformation and missing information on how it should be done. Follow these guidelines for effective cool-downs:
When to feed is another common question. It's OK to let your horse grab some grass while you're walking him to cool down (grass is about 80% water anyway), and after he has cooled down. It's also OK to let him have hay after his cool-down is completed. Best to wait at least an hour after stopping exercise to feed any grain, though.
Some Common Myths
1. Hosing a horse with cold water will cause muscle spasms or a heart attack.
Completely false. Cold water won't hurt the horse one bit, and the cooler the water, the more efficiently it will cool him down.
2. Letting a horse drink all he wants after exercise will cause founder (or colic
Again, completely false. Water cannot make a horse founder, no matter how much he drinks, or when. (An important exception to this is the horse that is severely overheated. See sidebar "Heat Can Kill.")
3. Cold water will cause founder or colic.
It won't. But studies have shown that horses given warmish water will drink more. So it's a good idea to draw a bucket of water and let it warm up a bit if your water supply is very cold.
4. Horses cool out faster when wearing a cooler.
Nonsense. Never put any kind of cooler on a horse in hot weather. When you're hot, do you crawl under a blanket or take off extra clothes? The same thing goes for your horse. You want his body heat to transfer to the air and blow away, not be trapped close to him.
5. Never clip a horse because his hair helps him cool out quicker.
Like #4, this is also false. Common sense alone will tell you that the less you have between skin and air, the quicker cooling will occur.
Keep Cool with Salt
Hans is a German Warmblood competing in combined training. He's a very talented horse, but his progress through the ranks was limited by a problem with overheating and panting. He also didn't drink well when away from home. A review of his diet showed his salt intake probably wasn't high enough. When his owner started adding salt directly to his meals, the panting and overheating disappeared. He also drinks well now, wherever he goes.
Heat Can Kill
Horses overworked in the heat can develop body temperatures of 105º or higher and risk damage to their brain, muscles and internal organs - even death. Overheating is possible any time the temperature and humidity combined are more than 150 (e.g., 80º temperature and 70% humidity, 100º temperature and 50% humidity, etc.), so use caution in those instances. When you add "normal" summer temperature and humidity percentage, they often total at least 150. You may be tempted to ignore this advice, thinking that you've frequently worked your horse hard when the total is over 150. But veterinarians tells us that they see a fair number of horses collapsing from the heat every summer, or at least having low-level heat exhaustion.
Over 150, don't push your horse, keep your rides slow and easy, and be sure you both have frequent access to water. Overheating is a very strong danger when the combined numbers are more than 180, so extreme caution is needed then and, in fact, you probably shouldn't ride in those cases.
Dark horses overheat quicker than lighter colored ones, and horses that are not fit also overheat much quicker. Heavy sweating, or heavy sweating followed by a drop in sweat production, fatigue, stumbling and rapid breathing are all warning signs. Also, heat-related problems are especially likely when the heat is a sudden weather change, where the horse has not yet had a chance to adapt.
If you think your horse is overheating, stop work immediately, remove all tack, get him out of the sun, offer water (about a gallon at a time, at five-minute intervals) and run water over the horse constantly. If his body temperature does not drop back to a normal of 100 or 101 rapidly within the first few minutes, call your vet immediately. Heat exhaustion/stroke is a medical emergency.

It is a funny and awesome show also the op is catchy!One thing I noticed was there a lot parodies which its a good thing their cleverly executed. It's a great show to watch when you've watched too much of a certain genre and just want to watch a show that doesn't have a heavy story line. I don't see why people would give this a one star just because it doesn't tickle their fancy..

Been keeping up weekly with the show and normally when a show you watch airs it's new episode of the week you are high with joy and just squealing about the moment you press play to watch. Well this is not that 'normal' situation.
Be prepared for long annoying periods of absolutely nothing. No romance, no comedy, no ...

When she first heard about the accident, 22-year-old Ryanne May promised herself three things: She would love her sisters, she wouldn't be afraid and she would be grateful.
Life as she knew it had changed.
On July 14, May's parents, Kendall and Becci May, and their 18-year-old and 16-year-old daughters were traveling to their home in Eagle Point, Ore., after a trip to Utah. But a car accident outside of Winnemucca, Nev., killed both parents and seriously injured the girls.
May, who was in St. George at the time of the accident, flew to Reno to be in the hospital with her sisters.
After the release and continued recovery of her two sisters, May said her life is now filled with picking up the pieces and moving forward.
"It's going forward and deciding what the next steps are going to be and how we're going to do this without our two favorite people," she said.
Despite what May described as amazing family support on both sides, she admits she has to take the enormity of her situation one day at a time.
"Sometimes one minute at a time," May said. "Sometimes you want to cry and sometimes you just can't."
But in spite of her grief, May hasn't forgotten the promises she made to herself.
"I think of family members, strangers and friends, and it's hard to be sad," May said. "I think of the blessings we have with the plan of salvation and the temple, and I can't be sad."
May, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, holds strong to the belief that life is perpetuated beyond the grave. She knows she will see her parents again, and thanks to covenants, or promises made in the temple, a place of sacred worship for LDS members, she knows her family will last forever.
And her faith has helped ease her fears.
"The plan of salvation has been huge. I don't know what I would do without that," May said. "Not being able to see my parents again is the most horrifying thought that I could ever think. But ... I know we will see them again. It's been the biggest comfort."
May, a nursing student at Dixie State, has turned to the blogosphere as a way to sort out her thoughts about her parents' death.
In a recent post on her blog, Ryanne May I, titled "The Why," May takes a deeper look at the reasons for many life events in the past two years, and how they have prepared her for this tragedy.
"July 14th, 2013. My parents died. My heart broke. But in thinking about the last two years, my life made more sense. I was being prepared," May wrote on her blog.
Feeling strongly about not serving a mission, being accepted to a nursing program at a school that wasn't her first choice and living in Montana and witnessing several family tragedies all placed her in the right place to deal with this life-altering accident, May said.
"This all tells me several things. 1. God has a plan for my life. 2. Things that happen might not make sense now, but we will know the meaning of all of this eventually. 3. My best interests are always His motivation, even when it doesn't feel that way. 4. He prepares the way when he asks us to do hard things," she wrote.
And while May said she didn't write the post for anyone else, simply to sort out her own tender feelings, she said she hopes to be a strength to those who read it.
"People are hurting just as much as I am," she said. "These are things that I know and things that have helped me. If we didn't take the opportunity, as awful as it is, to share what we know, I feel that it would have been in vain."
May is learning, though, that in spite of her faith, grief will find its way.
"There have been times — right now it's the depressed, sad and denial — that I've found that if I'm having a really hard day and I feel like crying and feel so sorry for myself, turning to prayers and scriptures is really helpful," May said.
Ultimately, it's been the strength of her family that has been her biggest support.
"My family members have taken care of everything so I can be with my sisters," she said. "I come from a fabulous family."

Herman Cain's Presidential Campaign is Bookended by the Theme to the Pokemon Movie
Earlier this afternoon, Herman Cain delivered what was promised to be an important announcement about his presidential campaign. Short version: He quit. Long version: The glorious, unwavering, never-ceasing Plan B! (Not that Plan B). While Plan A involved becoming president, Plan B looks to be much more ambitious. It consists of two main parts: Endorsing someone else for president and launching a website that links to an old website. Oh, and there was a Pokemon reference in there too. Yep, it was that kind of speech.
"As false accusations continue, they have sidetracked and my ability to present solutions to the American people," Cain said, reffering to multiple allegations of sexual harassment and the confession from an alleged former mistress regarding a thirteen-year affair. "I am not going to be silenced, and I am not going away," he said from the podium in Atlanta, before promoting TheCainSolution.com.
TheCainSolution.com links to a part of Cain's presidential donation website, SupportHermainCain.com. Cain can still receive donations, as campaign finance laws permit candidates who have dropped out to accept money as long as it goes toward repaying campaign debts. Plus, he didn't officially say he's out, only that he's "suspending" his run for the White House. (This temporary suspension also appears to feature his endorsement of a rival candidate "soon.")
He ended the speech with a quote from "The Power of One," Donna Summer's theme to Pokemon: The Movie 2000. He originally used the quote at his speech announcing his run for presidency, falsely attributing the words to the closing song of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. This time, however, he correctly referenced Pokemon.

The layer or layers of said chemical composition is mechanically supplied to and withdrawn from the absorption zone in transverse direction to said gas stream.
5 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures CARBON DIOXIDE ABSORBER DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In many commercial processes, gas streams are forwarded from a generating source to which the said gas is recirculated. In many instances, the gas stream must be treated to remove carbon dioxide therefrom to prevent its accumulation therein. Among the important applications of a device which must remove carbon dioxide from a gas stream are the respiratory or breathing devices such as those used in under-water work, anesthesia, metabolism studies, mines, construction work, firemans masks, etc. In all these and other instances, exhaled gas passes through a closed system where carbon dioxide would accumulate to toxic levels, if not effectively removed.
To-date, many breathing and other devices have been described but of those presently used, most have one or more well-recognized deficiencies; for instance, they have a low carbon dioxide absorption efficiency and capacity and require close observation during use to detect the point of unacceptable operation, even 1 though a color indicator may show when that point is reached which may, because of channelling, be too late to take corrective measures. Another deficiency, particularly in assemblies used in anesthesia, lies in the danger of cross-infections between patients if the used device is not discarded after use with one patient, even though it may be far from being exhausted. If the unit is too costly to discard, substantial expenses are incurred in sterilizing procedures. Another problem of existing devices is the formation of passage ways for the gas stream through passages already exhausted in carbon dioxide absorption capacity, because other passages become partially plugged.
Other deficiencies in todays stationary absorption devices include the accumulation of highly caustic solutions or suspensions as a result of water production during absorption with attendant caution necessary in handling and disposal of said accumulations; an increase in resistance to flow caused by an expansion in granule size as a result of the absorption reaction; the necessity to use a large volume of granules to insure adequate opportunity for the carbon dioxide molecules to contact absorption composition, with attendant increase in mechanical dead space in the flow circuit.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an absorption assembly for carbon dioxide in which the absorbing means for said carbon dioxide is continuously supplied to and removed from the absorption zone whether completely exhausted and/or contaminated or not; it is another object of the present invention to provide a carbon dioxide absorption device wherein a uniformly constant capacity for carbon dioxide absorption is presented to the gas flow; it is still another object of the present invention to provide a carbon dioxide absorption device in which substantially only the exposed portion of the absorption composition is discarded after use while preventing the gas stream from contacting partially used or contaminated absorbant; it is a further object of this invention to provide a carbon dioxide absorption mechanism in which the carbon dioxide absorbing composition can be supplied in cartridge form which is simple, economical and practical to replace and discard.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description of a simple embodiment thereof, read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a front view of the entire assembly of one particular embodiment of the invention in cut-away sections.
FIG. 2 is a front view of a simple supply means subassembly for the carbon dioxide absorbing material.
FIG. 3 is the top view of the sub-assembly of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a front view of a U-shaped absorber; and FIG. 5 is the top view of the sub-assembly of FIG. 4.
Referring to the drawings, particularly FIGS. 1 and 4, it will be seen that the new device comprises a gas passage chamber 12 and an absorbant forwarding means 14. In FIG. 1, flanges 16 of the gas passage chamber are shown with ribs 18 which are designed to form a seal with ribs 20 of the absorbant forwarding means 14. The gas passage assembly of which a top cut-away and a bottom cut-away is shown depicts back flanges 22 which are designed to hold the top and the bottom sections together in such fashion that they form a seal when clamped together while properly aligning the gas passage openings 24 of the two sections. The absorbant carrier subassembly 14 has a top plate 26 and a bottom plate 28, both equipped with ribs 20 which form a seal with the ribs of the top and bottom sections of the gas passage assembly and a front plate 30 (cut away) equipped with inside ribs (not shown) to form a seal with the front of the'gas passage assembly. The absorbant carrier sub-assembly has an open passage way 32 between top plate 26 and bottom plate 28 through which the absorbant composition 34 is forwarded. This forwarding is regulated by sprocket roller 36.
The carrier sub-assembly 14, shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, has a window 40 which, when united with the gas passage assembly, aligns with opening 24 of the latter. A gasket material frames all sides of window 40 to insure that no pressure loss occurs through this joinder of film, gas stream chamber and film transport passage. The absorbant composition is supplied in a continuous film 34 which is wider than window 40 so that all of the gas travelling from its top section to its bottom section must pass through window 40 which is completely covered by film 34.
While the embodiment of FIG. I shows a device in which only the sealed absorbant carrier sub-assembly needs to be replaced after exhaustion or only a new absorbant film needs to be inserted into cartridge 42 (FIG. 2), FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 5 show modifications which are intended for total replacement after the initially supplied absorbant film is exhausted. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the absorbant forwarding sub-assembly is shown with supply casette or cartridge 42 designed to contain a coil or roll of a carbon dioxide absorbing film or matrix. Such a supply may be provided in the form of a roll of a porous medium such as, for instance, filter paper containing the absorbant or several layers of a perforated or porous matrix containing between matrix layers the absorbant composition for carbon dioxide. The absorbant composition in form of a film 34 travels in a sealed passage from cartridge 42 to window 40 and is collected for discarding in conventional fashion after leaving the absorption zone in window 40. Ribs 44 in FIGS. 2 and 3 are means for sealing this sub-assembly to the gas passage chamber to form an integral unit from which the film carrying sub-assembly can easily be removed for replacement, or a fully disposable unit or a unit in which only a new film of new absorbant supply is inserted. Slots 45 provide openings through which feed gear sprockets contact the film as a simple forwarding means.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the gas passage chamber 12 is U-shaped. Gas enters inlet port 46, passes through window 40 where it contacts partially exhausted absorbant film 34 and after traveling through closed compartment 48, it contacts fresh absorbant film 34 in window 403 before reaching outlet port 50. This modification also shows the customary additional gas inlet port 52 often used in breathing devices, where fresh oxygen and/or, when used in anesthesia, an anesthetic agent can be added to the gas stream. The absorbant material for carbon dioxide is supplied from casette 42 in the form of a coiled film 34 which is shown only in the absorption zone of the gas passage. Auxiliary port 54 may be located anywhere within the unit: it is intended for attaching a breathing bag when the device is used in a respiratory device with unidirectional gas flow.
While the drawings described above refer only to a straight and a U-shaped gas passage chamber, another modification consists of concentric chambers: the inside tube or chamber forwards the incoming gas to a frame or window covered with the absorbant film with the sealed film carrier placed in such a fashion that the gas must first pass through the film into an outer compartment from where it passes again through the film into the outer chamber before reaching the exit port. This arrangement is particularly advantageous in those instances where it is essential that any reaction heat from the absorption zone is dissipated. In any of these modifications, the new device may be equipped with a pop-off valve which assures that no undue pressure build-up occurs.
The operation of the new carbon dioxide absorption device has been explained with reference to the specific modifications shown by the attached drawings. However, it should be kept in mind, that these drawings only represent illustrations of simple embodiments which do not represent the many modifications that are included in the scope of this invention. Among these modifications, a device where a plurality of absorbant films travel through the gas flow passage is of particular value. In that embodiment, the various films containing carbon dioxide absorbant may be arranged to travel in the same direction or they may be crossing the gas passage chamber in different directions. Obviously, where a plurality of absorbant forwarding sub-assemblies are employed, each film may carry a different type of absorbant.
It is usually preferred that the absorbant film crosses the gas flow chamber in the perpendicular direction, but such an arrangement is not necessary: the film or films may intersect with the gas flow direction at angles between 45 and 135C, preferably at 75-l05 C. Also, the above description is directed to the embodiment in which gas flow is unidirectional; the new device may also be used where gas flow is in to-and-fro fashion.
The carbon dioxide absorption composition is most effectively suppliedin a coil or roll of a porous matrix supporting or being dispersed with the acting absorbant material. The most economical matrix material is a cellulosic mat such as those made from wood pulp or cotton fiber and having a substantial moisture absorption capacity, e.g.; a cotton felt or a filter paper. This kind of a matrix material is treated by soaking it thoroughly with a concentrated solution ofa carbon dioxide absorbant and drying the matrix material by evaporating the solvent. Using this method, the absorbant disperses throughout the matrix material and forms a vast number of absorption centers with a very large total surface area to provide efficient carbon dioxide absorption. A similar matrix film can be made from a glass fiber felt which has the added advantage of producing substantially no resistance to gas flow.
The absorbant may also be supplied in sandwich form between several layers of a matrix film. In this instance,
the matrix material may be made of any kind of an inert porous composition: it may be a perforated paper, a loosely woven cloth, a synthetic or natural fiber, nonwoven fabric or similar flexible substrates. In this type of a matrix, the absorbant is placed between the matrix layers in granular form with or without supporting means for the individual granules. A convenient support material is kieselguhr or silica gel. Where the matrix is an inert material carrying granules of absorbant material on top of one or between several layers, it is often advantageous to emboss its surface or otherwise create a restraint for the shifting of the granules on the matrix surface. Obviously, where a plurality of absorbant material films are incorporated into such a layered structure of an absorbant film, the film provides a much higher degree of carbon dioxide absorption per unit of film volume, and the absorbant can be packed more loosely between matrix layers to insure free gas flow through the matrix/absorbant film.
Among the carbon dioxide absorbing materials, alkali and earth-alkali hydroxides are most commonly employed. A number of commercially available products are specifically designed for use as carbon dioxide absorbants, e.g., Soda lime which contains about 95% of calcium hydroxide and 5% of sodium hydroxide (marketed by Malinckrodt Chemical Corp), Baralyme" which contains 20% barium hydroxide octahydrate and of calcium hydroxide (marketed by Thomas Edison Co.), and Soda Sorb" which contains 4% alkali hydroxides, 7782% calcium hydroxide and 14-19% moisture (marketed by Dewey and Almy Chemical Co.). These products are provided in hard granules which resist crumbling, are relatively nondusting and relatively non-hygroscopic; they are therefore particularly useful when the intended use is in the form of the above-described layered matrix film. Where a felt or filter paper coil is the desired supply form for the carbon dioxide absorbant, a solution of a water soluble alkali or earth-alkali hydroxide or a mixture thereof is preferably used for incorporation of the absorbant into the matrix. Of course, the absorption of carbon dioxide by the present device does not have to be through a chemical reaction: carbon dioxide may be physically adsorbed to a material with such adsorptive capacity, and any reference herein to absorption is meant to include the phenomenon of adsorption as well.
As will readily be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the speed for forwarding the absorbant film through the gas flow chamber of the present device is a function of a number of easily pre-determinable parameters: the amount of carbon dioxide in the gas flowing through the absorption zone per time unit, the amount of carbon dioxide absorbant per volume unit of absorbant/matrix film, the absorption capacity of said film, the dimension of the window or frame of the absorption zone, and the number of absorbant/matrix films that pass through the gas flow chamber. The necessary speed for forwarding the absorbant film can thus be calculated to assure that the stoichiometric absorptive capacity of absorbant material passing through the gas passage zone exceeds the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that may be present in said gas stream. Preferably, the film speed is adjusted in such a way that the stoichiometric equivalent of the available carbon dioxide is exceeded by -100% by carbon dioxide absorptive capacity passing through the absorption zone in a given time interval. For instance, when the present device is used in a respiratory unit, the film speed should be set such that an absorbant film carrying sodium hydroxide as the sole absorbant forwards at least 0.75 g; of the absorbant through the absorption zone per minute, preferably 0.9 1.5 g/min. This range is based on a carbon dioxide volume of 200 ml/min. in exhaled gas.
The film forwarding mechanism can be driven by any suitable means, e.g., a spring-loaded gear train, an electric motor or the film may be taken up after passing the absorption zone by a take-up reel that is powered by a weight suspended from its axle by a cord coiled over an extension of said axle.
When the driving speed exceeds the above-indicated limit of absorbant amount versus carbon dioxide volume, replacement of the film, film/cartridge subassembly or the entire device must be effected more often than necessary since the absorbant is not effectively used. When the film speed is slower than the lower limit indicated, not all the carbon dioxide passing through the window with the film is absorbed. For many commercial uses, however, this may be acceptable, as long as the carbon dioxide content of the gas leaving the absorption chamber does not exceed an acceptable level. In breathing devices, it is usually required that the air stream re-entering the patient contain less than 0.5% carbon dioxide. This is easily achieved and assured by exceeding the calculated stoichiometric equivalent of absorbant material per time unit by 20%, thus allowing for occasional unexpected carbon dioxide peak amounts in the gas stream.
The advantages of the new absorber device will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Among these, the following are more prominent: (a) assurance that the device may be reused until the absorbant film supply is exhausted without danger of retaining any germs in the film from one use to the next: the operator will simply forward a length of the absorbant film slightly exceeding the window length between uses and discard the previously exposed portion of the film. (b) The heat connected with the chemical reaction between carbon dioxide and the absorbant is better dissipated than in previously known devices provided for this kind of use, since the film leaves the absorption zone immediately upon completion of this exothermic reaction. In the devices known to-date, the absorbant mass remains stationary in the gas flow passage and heat accumulates therein. (0) Assurance that caking or channelling often encountered in other devices with stationary absorbant masses is virtually eliminated because of the thinness of the film and its continuous motion which removes any cake or channel almost immediately from the absorption chamber. (d) The absorbant film utilizes a much larger number of much smaller sized absorbant particles which greatly increase the total surface area available for absorption; thus the rate of carbon dioxide absorption is substantially increased, concurrent with an improved utilization of total absorbant capacity. (e) The absorbant film may be contained in a porous, layered matrix which offers little or no resistance to gas flow while concurrently preventing loss of or contamination by fine particles that may be produced through absorbant composition particle fracture as a result of handling. (f) The total gas volume contained within the system can be substantially reduced in comparison to that found in presently existing devices used in this manner. This is of significant importance in respiratory applications. (g) Any moisture formed during the absorption reaction can easily be removed on a continuous basis from an additional moisture exit valve located in the lowest portion of the device, preventing clogging of absorbant granule pores as is found in presently available devices, and (h) The absorbant carrying matrix presents a uniform pressure gradient to the gas flow through the absorption zone(s), eliminating any preferential flow paths through channels.
In the most suitable embodiment of the described device, the cartridge housing and the passage way for the absorbant film are constructed in clear, rigid plastic which enables observation of the film supply while the device is in use. The absorption chamber providing the gas flow passage may also be made from a rigid, transparent plastic material, although observation in that section is not essential. If the film cartridge or casette is not transparent, it may be provided with a simple alarm mechanism such as a feeler arm connected to a buzzer which alerts the operator when the absorbant film supply is about exhausted. In any construction of the device, it will be understood that the united gas passage chamber and film carrier sub-assembly form a sealed unit with openings provided only for gas inlet, gas outlet and film discharge, whether the apparatus is molded as a unitary structure with a sideway opening for film insertion into the cartridge and threading, or whether the absorber film carrier is built as a disposable sub-assembly that can be united with the gas flow chamber in sealed fashion.
Of course, the absorber film passage way should be sufficiently dimensioned to allow passage of the thickest film desired. If a thinner film is used than the passage way would permit, the gasket around the window in the gas stream chamber will prevent escape of gas or contamination from the outside. In any event, the filmcarrying sub-assembly can be constructed from a material that will permit a sterilization treatment when it is desired to re-use the film storage and forwarding assembly and to thread a fresh film into this assembly for further use.

Our spring issue of 2016 compels us to re-start our New Year with a reflection on creation. The theme has inspired poets and preachers, as well as the ancient rabbis who gave the theme the prestigious place at the beginning of the Bible. According to a legend, the book of Job was a contender as the head of the Bible, but the sages agreed that the story of the Bible should begin with creation, not with suffering. Firmly grounded in this tradition, many of our authors direct us to the first part of the book of Genesis.
In this issue on creation, we encounter voices that challenge us to learn to value the life of the oppressed for whom God cares. They tell us that God has created human beings in God's own image, and that every person helps us see God in all spectrums of colors and physical manifestations.Read the full story »

I like to say that Eleanor Roosevelt chose me. I certainly didn't know that studying the woman I had disliked as an adolescent would renew my faith and spur me to action. I didn't know she would become my mentor across time and help me to answer, "Who am I now?"

Do you believe that anything is possible? Pastors and church leaders in very diverse ministries consistently tell me they want to make a difference in their community. Many do, but others retreat into their sanctuaries when unexpected obstacles and challenges arise.

Connection is defined as "a relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else." From a theological perspective, the Holy Spirit is connected to Creator, Who is connected to Christ, Who is connected to the Holy Spirit. The Connectivity and subsequent relationality within and amongst the Holy Trinity is what allows salvation.
by Insook Lee
We have shifted from the industrial age to the digital age of connectivity. Some people welcome the sense of connection beyond time and space while others are ambivalent and fearful of "techno-colonialism" and a "global cyberimperialism." Whatever the consequences of digital connectivity are, "internet access springs from a powerful longing for community—the very same force that drives church congregations."
by David A. Davis
Many preachers have experienced that moment of paralysis when they stand before a congregation yearning to hear Biblical truth just before the sermon. For many pastors that view of the congregation comes with the knowledge of the overwhelming, collective pastoral need. But by God's grace and in the mystery of the Holy Spirit, we believe the Gospel strikes to the heart of the people of God.

Jeremiah 21:1–23:4 recounts a series of oracles against the last four kings in Israel. The canonical book's reordering of the final four kings is important to the overall argument of the book about the future of the Davidic kingship. No future king can arise without the complete destruction of the current Davidic line.

This book is the first volume in "The Promise of Homiletical Theology" series as part of the Homiletical Theology section in the Academy of Homiletics. Boston University homiletics scholar, David Schnasa Jacobsen, collaborated with six other homileticians in describing the multivalent relationships of preaching, preaching preparation and theology. At its core, the volume asserts that every part of the preaching craft is engaged in theology and is itself theological by definition because the subject, object, and predicate of preaching is God.
by Neal D. Presa
To know oneself, one must have a proper understanding of God. Or to put it simply: the true identity of God leads to true identity of who we are, whose we are, and what we are to be and to do. For the task and craft of preaching the identity of God is critical, essential, and pivotal. Paul Molnar applies Barth's theology of the Trinity and election, and then uses the thoughts of one of Barth's students, the late reformed theologian, Thomas F. Torrance, to bring clarity to Barth's thoughts on the matter, and to provide a corrective to contemporary theologies.

The current issue showcases how the modern thrust of CONNECTIVITY may get into a delightful conversation with traditional theological affirmations, such as the incarnation as God connecting with us. As we browse through this issue, we will encounter witnesses to the reign of God, who guides us through messy confusion that has become all too common in human history.

Many will recognize the question as a parody of Tertullian, De praescriptione haereticorum, chapter 7: "What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?" So, to answer our question, we must first ask, "What does Jerusalem represent?"

Starting about 1649, French colonialists in Africa attempted to infuse French culture to the native inhabitants of Dakar, Goree, Rufisque, and Saint Louis in order to assimilate French language and culture—to "Frenchify" them. This notion was meant to imitate the experiences of ancient Greece where citizenship was conferred on those born in Greece and therefore superior to non-citizens in recognition and rights. France's goal was to spread its culture and Christianity, much as St Paul had done with the building of Christian churches and communities.

Jean Farris Winery & Bistro Ratings and Reviews
Jean Farris is a winery with an amazing ...
Jean Farris is a winery with an amazing bistro that serves fabulous food in a beautiful setting. Sitting on the covered patio or the outdoor patio is a special treat since you are able to watch the sun setting over the Kentucky countryside (it feels like it is miles away from everything, even though it is actually well-located in close proximity to much of Lexington's more populated areas). I went with my mother as a girls' night out, and we enjoyed sharing a cheese plate - always a favorite for us. She had the flank steak and I had the filet, and both were cooked exactly as ordered and were melt-in-your-mouth succulent. Both came with perfectly cooked vegetables (incredibly fresh and flavorful as always). The wine paired well with the dinner, and they have a nice selection of other spirits if you are so inclined. We split a very tasty peach dessert with bourbon creme anglaise that was ridiculously good. The service is top-notch, and everyone is always very friendly. I highly recommend it for a nice night out.

We frequently go to Jean Faris for dinner but the other night was the worst experience we've ever had there. Terrible service. Waited a half hour for appetizers and then one hour for entrees. No one was hungry at that point. Dinner was not good.

Very enjoyable upscale dining. My wife was blown away by her pasta dish, I was underwhelmed by my lamb (probably was prepared well, but I learned I'm not a lamb guy). Very good wine and cocktail list. Nice view and ambiance.

Bobby took care of us at the bar and provided wonderful service. Watching him make cocktails was such an experience too! The food was amazing as well as the wine. We plan on going back OFTEN! Great ambience, service, and food/drink. Definitely a gem in Lexington!

I had the scallops and my wife had the Bouillabaisse which she did not like at all. I had a total of 3 scallops and a small be of rice which for the price was ridiculous. My wife said her sauce was off and the bread slices were actually burnt. She did like her flight of wine and I did not like anything. I left still hungry and now I know why Jonathan's restaurant went under with this chef!

My wife and I ventured to Gene Farris Winery to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived early and enjoyed a cocktail and appetizer (cheese tray was very good) prior to our reservation seating. We sat at our table for nearly 10 minutes before hearing from our server. We ordered and received our drinks and salads and all was well. My wife halibut and enjoyed her meal. I ordered pork and was greatly disappointed. The menu calls for the pork to be served with estate pea shoots, raisins, almonds, grilled peaches and Granny Smith apples. Instead, it was served with whipped potatoes (which were good) and the pork was covered with a brown gravy / sauce. The unexpected substitution was something I could live with but the pork was overcooked and quite dry. I made a mistake of not sending my meal back to the kitchen and that's my fault.
Overall, the service and quality of food did not match the cost of the experience.

Consistency is key in all fine restaurants. Jean Farris nails it time and again in the categories that make a good place great.
It's the owners presence and attention to detail that keeps this spot on our list of favorites.
Dinner with a view!
Even with the rain pouring down, we loved the view of the beautiful rolling hills out of the patio windows. The cheese and meat board was delicious (I never knew how much I needed pickled watermelon rind with fresh made ricotta in my life!) and our entrees were equally good. Fun to have the options of local bourbons, beers or wines on flight, but also able to choose "higher end" wines if you wanted to from their extensive list. While it was a bit of a drive from Lexington, it was worth it for the peace and quiet and the view! The inside of the restaurant was nothing special, though, so don't think I'd have been as "wow"ed if we'd sat inside. Also, the hostess was wearing jeans, tennis shoes and a sweatshirt....not really setting a great tone for an upscale restaurant--but a great reminder that we WERE on a farm, I guess :)
Short staffed
Since our server disappeared for a while after taking and delivering our drink orders, we asked some questions and learned the chef and much of the wait staff were on vacation due to the long holiday weekend. We noticed no decline in the usual delicious food quality but, although very professional and courteous, the staff simply couldn't keep up with the volume of diners. Since we were in no particular hurry, this small glitch impaired our enjoyment only a little. Scallops and halibut entrée were fantastic and their specialty cocktails were also superb.

My husband and I went to Jean Farris to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. Everything was delightful!!! We enjoyed seeing the arbors, trees, and other vegetation. The food was extraordinary and we found a new Riesling to enjoy. Service was outstanding.
Just OK
Took Mom to "brunch" here on Mother's Day. Our reservations were at 10am, but there was only one breakfast option, everything else was really lunch (short ribs, etc.) The table where we were first seated was dark with no lighting and no window. I asked to be seated on the porch but was told it was already book, even though I had booked several weeks earlier. After a second inquiry, we were re-seated at a table with a window at least. The service was pretty good, the food was just ok. We won't be back for a meal, but it might be a nice winery to visit during the day for a tasting. (When we left, the patio was still 1/2 empty...might have been a little bit of a different experience has we been able to sit outside).
A Diamond-in-the-Rough
Arrived from NH for daughter's graduation at UofK. Two other restaurants on OpenTable were booked for an early slot, Jean Farris was the only one whose menu appealed to us. The drive out from Lexington was beautiful and the dinner was perfect, really made our weekend!
Great place to celebrate
We visited JFW on a Saturday night with a large party, with a reservation. We were seated promptly, and had excellent service throughout the night. The menu was excellent and the dishes were superb, some a bit under seasoned, but overall worth the pricey price.
Happy last minute find for dinner for 6
Used Open Table to locate any available restaurant that could accommodate 6 diners on May 1st post Rolex. Jean Farrar popped up. Definitely off the beaten path. There is actually a vineyard in front of the restaurant. Lovely restaurant overall. Food was excellent.
They were a little short staffed which d ...
They were a little short staffed which delayed the entire dinner. The food was good, not great. It could be much better with just a little more attention to detail. Server was very kind, informative and professional. The setting is outstanding but the entire experience just didn't match it.
Lovely evening with friends
We enjoy dining at Jean Farris: the short drive is lovely, the food is creative and very good, it has a laid-back atmosphere for a relaxing and enjoyable evening, and the dining room is quite enough that we can enjoy talking to friends.
A perfect date night
Yet again we had a fantastic experience here and we are not push overs. From the cocktails to desert it was flawless. Parmesan Chicken and Halibut were outstandingly prepared both bursting with delicate intricate flavors. Service was attentive and professional without being stuffy.
You'll love this place. Do yourself and someone you love a favor. Go here.
A so-so experience
Only one waitress for five tables! Really. I had the filet mignon which tasted like it had
been cooked the day before and reheated. My husband had the flank steak which had
no flavor at all. I've had better food at Texas Roadhouse. The only good thing about the
whole experience was the beautiful drive on the way there. I can't see us returning
to Jean Farris for the food. It's unfortunate. I really wanted to like it.
We had a wonderful experience here.
My husband and I had had our first date here a few years ago and have been waiting for an opportunity to come here again as we live in Somerset, Ky. I made reservations for his birthday this year - so easy to do online. The setting was perfect, our waitress was fabulous and the food and wine were delicious. We have both raved about the tri-color carrots. And we have already recommended it to several friends. I can't wait to come again - hopefully sooner than we made it this time !

Recently returned from a lovely week in Puerto Pollensa. We'd not been back for 11 years and the Bellsreguard complex was not built at that time. It's in the quiet end of the pinewalk and the apartment is fantastic. Really spacious, comfy beds, 2 huge balconies, extremely well equipped - best holiday apartment we've ever stayed in & a real home from home! Pool was bigger than we expected too. A couple of the pools in this complex were full of some sort of plant fluff but ours was beautifully clean. The shop/cafe at the entrance to the complex was convenient as well. We and are 16 and 12 year old boys had a great week, eating lunch at the cafes that jut out on to the sea, barbecuing on the roof terrace, sunbathing by the pool and at our favourite Formentor azure waters beach, enjoying cheap drinks at Bony's bar on the plaza, mooching in PP, Pollensa and Alcudia markets and eating a lovely paella in the picturesque mountain village of Valledemossa. We were very sorry to have to leave! Our only negative would be if you are a light sleeper, take ear plugs as the frogs in the pool at night are very noisy! Owners were a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend holidaying in this apartment, you will not be disappointed!
We have visited Puerto Pollensa many times and always try to stay on the Bellresguard development. It is a charming 15 minute walk to the main harbour area where many of the restaurant and bars are located and the route takes you along the famous Pine Walk. This is a pedestrianised footpath directly beside the sea with fantastic views and we have never tired of walking along it.
The development also has a well stocked local shop which also serves food and drink.
Dedicated parking under a car port (handy to keep the sun off your car) and lift access add to the convenience.
The pool only serves a handful of apartments so is always quiet and is set within lovely gardens. We loved watching the fish and turtles (or terrapins ?) from the balcony and even made up names for them!
As the apartment is on the second (top) floor, the balcony is nice and private and is a great size. It is part open and part covered and is equipped with both a dining table and rattan type lounge furniture.
There is also a huge roof terrace with a further dining area and sun loungers - but beware, it gets hot up there!
The bedrooms are great with two huge double beds in two of them, 2 singles in another and bunk beds and a single in the fourth room. Every room has individual air conditioning and 2 ensuites and a bathroom are really useful. The kitchen is well equipped (even with a gas hob - which is unusual) and there is loads of storage.
All the bathrooms have been recently refurbished and the housekeeping was spotless - loads of towels and nice bedding. The apartment was really clean and even all the cutlery was lined up in the drawer!
Some great touches that make all the difference like loads of coat hangers, huge amount of glasses, crockery and every cooking dish and utensil you need.
The owners were really helpful during booking and always responded to questions promptly. The local agents in the resort were very helpful too.
We have stayed in several different apartments on the Bellresguard complex and as they are all privately owned, the quality can vary. However, this apartment really is top quality and we will definitely stay here again.
Glyn S.
Excellent Large apartment on the old main road at the back of the Illa D'Or.
Bedrooms very spacious, balcony excellent for eating al fresco and very well equipped kitchen.
If you're visiting off season, this offers extremely good value for the amount of space you get.
Puerto Pollensa is on the North east corner of the island at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains, set in a large sheltered bay with shallow warm waters .
There are an abundance of excellent restaurants and the resort is very family friendly.
Good water sports, fishing and golf nearby.
Golf: There are thirteen courses on the island several of which are PGA world Tour standard. Our closest is Pollensa
just 10 minutes away. Alcanada is 20 minutes away.

I have verizon wireless, recently they changed a rate in one of there charges on my monthly bill. In my customer agreement it states "We may change prices or any other term of your Service or this agreement at any time,but we'll provide notice first, including written notice if you have Postpay Service. If you use your Service after the change takes effect, that means you're accepting the change. If you're a Postpay customer and a change to your Plan or this agreement has a material adverse effect on you, you can cancel the line of Service that has been affected within 60 days of receiving the notice with no early termination fee if we fail to negate the change after you notify us of your objection to it." i called for 2 months to get this Negated and finally was offered a credit for the change, which was a charge called the Federal Universal Service. They scheduled a call back to credit me so the issue was resolved. well a month later they never called and i was never credited as promised. its been over 60 days now so i called to cancel with no early termination fee and i was denied my right. I asked multiple managers for an explanation and they simply told me because its an FCC charge and i would have to take it up with them and denys the customer agreement on my contract adn their WEBSITE. It clearly states what their charges are "You agree to pay all access, usage and other charges that you or the user of your wireless device incurred. For Postpay Service, our charges also include Federal Universal Service, Regulatory and Administrative Charges, and we may also include other charges related to our governmental costs. We set these charges; they aren't taxes, they aren't required by law, they are not necessarily related to anything the government does, they are kept by us in whole or in part, and the amounts and what they pay for may change." So in conclusion, i am being denied my right from my legal contract which i agreed to when starting service. My customer agreement states that when a price changes i have 60 days to object and have it negated, if 60 days go by and they fail to negate it, i can cancel with no early termination fee. Wel i objected, i wasnt negated (lied to and promised to be) and now its 60 days later and they will not cancel my service and wave the fee. i have notated and logged my conversations with the reps. What legal actions should i take to protect my rights as a customer?

Most likely your contract included an arbitration clause. When big companies go to arbitration they win almost all the time because arbitrators want to be continued to be called. It is a disgrace.
