Gwyneth Paltrow in Talks to Produce Musical Based on The Go-Go's
Movie star, singer, Glee co-star, healthy chef, director of the Goop website -- Gwyneth Paltrow is a multihyphenate to say the least. Now it looks like we can add "producer of musicals" to the list.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Paltrow is negotiating to collaborate on a theatrical production based on The Go-Go's.
Working with several prospective co-producers, including Donovan Leitch and Rick Ferrari, Paltrow would base the musical on the life and music of the seminal 1980s all-girl group that includes Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Kathy Valentine, Gina Schock and Paula Jean Brown. The L.A.-based band, which has been touring all summer, was behind such early-'80s hits as "Vacation," "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed." They were the first all-female band that played their own instruments to top the Billboard charts.
Given that Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia! (with music by Abba) and, most recently, American Idiot (music of Green Day) have all been hits, it makes sense to bring SoCal's all-girl supergroup back to life. Word is, Carlisle and bandmates are considering being involved and possibly penning new songs. Sources say some major Broadway writers are being considered for the book, but no deals have been signed.
Carlisle -- a multihyphenate herself, with a home collection at Bergdorf Goodman -- declined to comment.
Meanwhile, the UTA-repped Paltrow also looks produce a movie musical, One Hit Wonders, with Glee producer Ryan Murphy. Starring in Country Strong and being on Glee seems to have given her a new career path with a decidedly musical spin.
And Leitch seems to be turning into a mega multi-hyphenate as well. He's starring in a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Roxy theater in L.A. for a number of limited performances in October, as well as balancing lots of other cultural balls in the air.

Having visited the area before and returning with grown up family, our party consisyed of 8 adults. We knew how handy the hotel was for the ruins and with a large Carrefour supermarket just up the road easy for snacks and drinks. As we were going to use the circumvesuvius railway, that was also a consideration at its extremely close to the station. The hotel was very friendly and helpful even when we started exchanging rooms so we could all be together with the owner apologising as the air con wasnt on in the new rooms (which is a must in august). The hotel really is in the heart of it and has some nice balconies which enabled all 8 of our party to get together and play games on our balcony. Well worth the price of the hotel but we had mixed feelings about the restaurant (see seperate review) as we ate twice and only had a good meal and experience on the first night. Yes the hotel is old but its kept very clean and its sooooo handy for the area

Myers Assistant Examiner-A. T. Grimley AttorneyVictor F. Volk [57] ABSTRACT In an electric cable having a semiconducting jacket applied directly over a wall of polymeric insulation, excessive bonding of the jacket to the insulation is prevented by applying the curing agent for the jacket only toits outer surface after extrusion, and then effecting a vulcanization such that the inner jacket surface remains thermoplastic.
, v 24 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures 1 j ELECTRIC CABLEAND METHOD OF MAKING BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Economies in high-voltage cables have recently been effected by eliminating the separate'shielding system, making the protective jacket semiconducting,'and applying it directly onto the wall of cable dielectric. Such a cable construction, wherein the jacket comprises embedded drain wires is described'in Plate et al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,474,189, the disclosures of which are included herein by reference. Although it would be-desirable to increase the toughness and tensile strength of the jacket material by vulcanization, this has not proven feasible because of the necessity .of avoiding adhesion between the semiconducting jacket and the outer surface of the wall of insulation. Such adhesion would make it difficult to free stripped ends of cablefrom residues of the electrically conducting jacket composition at terminations and joints.
SUMMARY BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 shows a section of a cable made to my invention FIG. 2 shows .the steps ofa method of my invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, a cable of my invention, indicated generally by the numeral 10, has a conductor 11, a heavy wall 12 of insulation, and a semiconducting jacket 13 in which are embedded a plurality of drain wires 14. The wall 12 comprises cross-linked polyethylene, but my invention has application to cables with insulation walls of other compositionssuch,
for example, as ethylene-propylene rubber, polyvinyl chloride, and unvulcanized polyolefin. However, my invention has particular advantages for cross-linked polyethylene insulated cables since cross-linked polyethylene has a particularly high thermal coeff cient of expansion, and this places an extra strain on the jacket 13. The jacket 13 comprises chlorinated polyethylene blended with ethylene ethyl acrylate and a high proportion of carbon black to increase its electrical conductivity. A preferred thermoplastic jacket has been described in application Ser. No. 167,741 assigned to the assignees of the present invention, which has the advantage, that, being thermoplastic, it does not bond unduly to the wall 12. In the present invention an inner surface 16 of the jacket 13 remains thermoplastic but an outside surface 17 has been vulcanized to provide greater toughness and tensile strength. vulcanization of the outer portion of the jacket 13 is achieved by diffusion of vulcanizing agent through the surface 17 so that the jacket 13. is homogeneous except for radial differences in the degree of vulcanization or cross linking. This vulcanization decreases gradually through a radial-section of the jacket 13 so as to leave the inner surface 16 free from vulcanization. Chlorinated polyethylene has been emin two ways. The higher tensile strength of the vulcanized composition resists radial expulsion of the wires by electrical forces during surges of current, and the higher softening temperature of the vulcanized composition prevents the surface from melting during short periods of high ambient temperature.
In FIG. 2 I have diagrammed a method of making the cable 10 whereby a reel 21 of the conductor 11 is continuously paid through an extruder 22, a vulcanizing tube 23, and cooling section 24 for application of the dielectric wall 12. The insulated core then passes through a second extruder 26 wherein it receives the jacket 13 and drain wires 14.
So far the description of my method has been previously disclosed for the manufacture of cables with thermoplastic jackets. I now provide a novel step of coating the jacket 13 with a suitable curing agent by passing the cable 10 through a chamber 28 wherein it is sprayed or otherwise coated with di-a-cumyl peroxide. Although I prefer to use di-a-cumyl other peroxides are known for curing compositions comprising chlorinated polyethylene and polyethylene and these may be used within the scope of my invention, including tertiary peroxides in which the valences of the carbon atoms not linked to oxygen are attached to alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl, cycloalkyl-alkyl, aryl or aralkyl radicals, and also quinhydrone dimerides as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,036,982. Solvents other than acetone may be used, less volatile solvents having the advantage of holding the vulcanizing agent on the surface 17 through the entrance to a curing chamber. It is not essential to my invention, however, to apply the curing agent in solution. As detailed in an example hereinbelow, I have successfully applied the molten agent directly to the jacket. Curing agents can also be applied as suspensions or emulsions, such as water suspensions or emulsions.
- condensate drain 341 but a hot inert pressurized gas such as nitrogen or helium may be used instead of steam within the scope of my invention. The latter method has the advantage that it is easier to keep the application chamber relatively cool. To counteract the pressure in the tube 29 a pump 36 is used to meter the vulcanizing agent into he chamber 28. In lieu of the continuous process shown, the entire cable can be removed to a curing chamber after the surface has been coated with peroxide in solution. I have found that acetone works well as a solvent for di-a-cumyl peroxide in thisapplication' but other solvents, which have been known, can also be used. v
EXAMPLE 1 A cable made in accordance with the description of FIG. 1, hereinabove, with a jacket 13, 0.080 inch thick was brush coated with a 50 weight percent solution of di-a-cumyl peroxide in acetone. The acetone permitted to evaporate. Thereupon the cable was vulcanized in a steam chamber at 225 pounds per square inch in pressure for one minute. Specimens cut from the outer surface of the jacket with thicknesses from 0022-0032 inch were found to have an average-tensile strength of 1,586 psi compared to atensile strength of 1,373 psi for an unvulcanized jacket specimen and an average elongation of 183 percent compared to 327 percent for an unvulcanizedspecimen.
EXAMPLE-,2 i
A length of the cable was coated with molten dia-cumyl peroxide at 75 psi. Specimens 0.020-0.024 inch thick were slicedfrom. the outer surface of the jacket and found to average 2,783 psi tensile strength and have 120 2 percent elongation. I Specimens 0.0l80.020 inch thick were then sliced from the underlying thickness of jacket for testing to determine the depth of diffusion of the curing agent. These averaged 2,870 psi in tensile strength and 207 percent elongation. The much greater elongation indicates presence of some thermoplastic composition at the deeper level.
EXAMPLE 3 A cable with 250 MCM conductor, a 0.175 inch wall of cross-linked polyethylene insulation and an 0.080 inch thick chlorinated polyethylene, ethylene ethyl acrylate jacket was coatedwith di-a-cumyl peroxide and cured .in steam at 200 psi for 1 minute. A specimen 0.0l50.020 inch thick was sliced from the outer surface of the jacket and found to have a tensile strength of 2,056 psi and an elongation of 162 percent. The conductor of a length of this cable was raised to 135C for 24 hours to determine if the expansion of the insulation would cause cracks to appear in the jacket. No cracks appeared. The conductor temperature was raised to 155C for 24 hours without causing any cracks to appear in the jacket. The conductor was raised to 200C for 1 hour without causing any cracks to appear over the drain wires. A circumferential crack did appear next to a holding clamp. For comparison, cracks appeared over the drain wires of a cable with an unvulcanized jacket at a conductor temperature of 135C after 2 hours.

University of Central Florida on Lockdown After Police Find Explosives, Dead Man in Dorm UPDATE
When police at the University of Central Florida responded to a fire alarm in a dorm early this morning, they found a nightmare scenario: one man dead of a gunshot wound inside a dorm room full of improvised explosives and heavy weaponry.
UCF has now canceled classes and evacuated hundreds of students as the FBI moves in to investigate.
A fire alarm sounded inside Tower 1, a large on-campus dorm, just before 12:30 a.m., a campus spokesman tells the AP. As officers were en route to check it out, another call came in that a man with a gun was inside the same hall.
When police arrived, they found that man dead of what's believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The AP reports that officials are still trying to determine if the dead man was a UCF student.

The real cause for concern, though, were a few other things that police found inside the dorm room: a handgun, an assault rifle, and numerous improvised explosive devices.
UCF has canceled all classes until noon and ordered everyone off the main campus. Fox News reports that the FBI has moved in to help with the investigation.
Here's the scene on campus earlier this morning, with police blocking off access to the school's main thoroughfares:

We are planning a family trip (2 adults + 16 and 14 yr old) to Australia for xmas 2013. Flights have just been released and I am wondering whether to go Singapore Airlines economy (A380) for £1,300 each or push the boat out and book BA premium economy for £2,350 each.
Is the extra leg room worth an extra £4,000?
Will the reputed great service of SQ make up for the lack of space.
Would love some advice to help me make my decision.

In Tiny Cells, Glimpses Of Body's Master Plan
Published: December 18, 2001
(Page 3 of 3)
A stem cell can also divide into two stem cells, as embryonic cells do when kept in lab culture. Mature cells kept in culture will divide only about 50 times and then lapse into senescence because of a division-counting mechanism on their chromosomes that limits their ability to proliferate.
Embryonic cells have the power to override the division-counting system and will grow and divide indefinitely. They are in this sense immortal. A single culture of embryonic stem cells can in principle produce enough cells for everyone. Adult stem cells, by contrast, proliferate rather poorly in culture.
Embryonic cells may provide the ideal vehicle for gene therapy, the idea of introducing genes to correct harmful genetic defects. Gene therapists have long tried to insert curative human genes into a patient's cells on the back of harmless viruses. But the virus delivery method has proved inefficient, and it still lingers under the cloud caused by the death of a patient at the University of Pennsylvania in 1999.
Cells in culture can be manipulated much more easily than those in the body. The physician can select just the cells in which a gene has integrated correctly, grow them up and insert them into the patient. Researchers have routinely generated new strains of mice by manipulating mouse embryonic cells, and some aspects of this technology may prove useful for improving human embryonic cells.
As the power and abilities of stem cells become apparent, biologists have become increasingly optimistic about the chances for treating otherwise intractable diseases.
''A multitude of therapeutic uses can be envisioned,'' Dr. Elaine Fuchs and Dr. Julia Segre of the University of Chicago wrote recently in the journal Cell. They cited hope for the treatment of Alzheimer's, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's, heart disease, diabetes and baldness.
Though the body is made up almost entirely of mature cells, its continued existence depends on a handful of stem cells. The body's hierarchy of cells resembles that of the pieces in a chess set. Like the queen, the all-purpose cells of the embryo can perform all permissible moves. The adult stem cells, as diminished in power as bishops, knights and rooks, can make only a subset of the queen's moves. The mature cells are mere pawns, with a single role.
The role of king is played by a special cluster of embryonic cells known as the embryonic germ cells. The germ cells are set aside at an early stage and protected from the maturing process that affects all the other embryonic cells. Migrating to the tissues that will become ovary or testis, the germ cells' role is to produce eggs or sperm. But if grown in a laboratory dish, the germ cells display the ability of the embryonic cells to generate all the tissues of the body.
Just as chess depends on the fate of the king, the germ cells are central to the game of life. Under evolution's rules, the body is just a disposable and temporary container designed to allow the germ cells to get their genes into the next generation. The promise of stem cell research is that it may allow doctors to bend the rules of this harsh game just a little, by using the vast generative power of stem cells to extend life and health.
Chart: ''The Body's Master Builders'' Embryonic stem cells, the cells from which all body tissues grow, form about five days after sperm and egg unite, when the embryo is little more than a hollow blastocyst with an inner mass of stem cells. At this stage, researchers can remove these stem cells in hopes of using them to grow replacement tissues to treat a variety of diseases. Development is directed by a system of signals that cells send and receive as genes flicker on or off. Creating Organs in the Body GENE EXPRESSION Genes direct the cells to migrate. Then, different genes turn on or off, telling cells what to do in their new location. CELL-TO-CELL SIGNALING Cells are connected by groups of proteins, allowing the cells to exchange information. ENVIRONMENT-SPECIFIC SIGNALING As they differentiate, cells receive signaling factors from the surrounding tissues, pushing them to specialize. The endoderm is thought to give rise to specialized stem cells, which in turn yield all pancreatic cells, including those that secrete insulin. CELL SIGNALING DAYS 2-3 --The cell divides again and again. DAY 4 -- Cells begin to differentiate and migrate to different parts of the embryo. DAY 5 BLASTOCYST DAY -- 1 Egg and sperm meet. DAYS 6-9 -- The embryo implants in the uterine wall. DAY 14 -- The inner cell mass gives rise to three cell layers that will form all the body's tissues and organs. ECTODERM MESODERM ENDODERM EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS At this stage, scientists can remove stem cells from the inner cell mass. In theory, they can be coaxed to develop into any cell type in the body. Chart: ''Creating Organs in the Lab'' Biologists at the National Institutes of Health used embryonic stem cells from a mouse blastocyst. The cells formed clusters showing characteristics of different types of tissue. Scientists isolated cells that produced a protein common to both the cells of the pancreas and the nervous system. The cells were exposed to a growth signal, and they further differentiated into precursors to pancreas cells. The growth signal was withdrawn, and the cells assembled into insulin-secreting clusters. When inserted into mice, the cells produced insulin, though not nearly as much as normal, healthy pancreas cells. Scientists encourage cells to differentiate by exposing them to certain factors (proteins) or tissue types. GENE EXPRESSION When specific genes are active, cells produce certain proteins that scientists can recognize. CELL-TO-CELL SIGNALING Scientists allow cells to signal each other, and they begin to differentiate. ENVIRONMENT-SPECIFIC SIGNALING Scientists can expedite differentiation in the lab by exposing cells to signals they would encounter in the body.

Prior Sermons in Series on Stories of The Bible
NEXT STORY (July 31):
Peter and Cornelius
Acts 10; 11:2-3; Galatians 2:11-13
Paul's Conversion
Acts 9:1-19; 22:1-21; 26:9-18; Romans 6:1-11
(Children's Story)
Saul of Tarsus was also called "Paul" from childhood. That's because he was born into a very religious Jewish family of the Pharisee party, and also into one of the great Roman cities of the time. The Roman Empire ruled the world, and Paul was a Roman citizen – but he was also a devout Jew.
We can imagine Saul being a very serious and studious person from the time he was a small boy. He grew up in a family that talked about religion as the most important aspect of life, and so it was natural for him to take it seriously too. Of course, he played and had friends and dreamed of many things, but he also prayed and studied and did his homework and often talked of religious affairs. By the time he was thirteen, his family realized he was a very promising and talented young man, so they took him to Jerusalem to study in earnest under the greatest Rabbi of the time, Gamaliel.
Studying to be a Rabbi – a teacher of the Law – was a high profession for a Jew. It's hard for us to understand, but it would be kind of like preparing today to be a lawyer, a Senator, a philosopher/historian, a university professor, and a minister – all rolled into one. It took many years of study and training.
Saul was bright and conscientious, and it was clear to those who knew him that he would be a leader, maybe even one of the major leaders in the Jewish community of his time.
But then a very disturbing thing began to happen. Well, the world was already a very disturbed place, and being a Jewish nation under Roman rule was both irksome and dangerous. But at the very time when people need to band together, help each other, and be close, sometimes we quarrel with each other and scatter. Anyway, there was a growing Movement among the common people, and they were claiming that a certain carpenter named Yeshua – not a learned Rabbi, just a common carpenter – was "The Anointed." That meant he was the long-awaited Messiah, the Great One of all time, the rightful King of all Judaism – and in time, King of an entire new and righteous world.
Well, you have to learn to take these things with a grain of salt. Some people are always looking for excitement or something new, and there is always a new cure, a new theory, a new diet, or a new teaching about something somewhere. Most often the major enthusiasm blows over in a year or so and then the excitement dwindles away. So there is no reason to join the Guru-of-the-Month Club, and there is no reason to fight it all either.
Saul was busy with his own life and his studies. He was in his late twenties by now, and he was no longer just a student but taught others and held increasing positions of responsibility. He was well into a successful career, and his family and friends and sponsors were all very proud of him.
But Saul was getting upset by this growing new Movement. Maybe he was a little young and impatient, but lots of others, young and old, were also getting concerned. This new Movement was sweeping through the land and leading lots of innocent, less-educated people astray. It made Saul angry that innocent people were being hurt – that Judaism was being weakened at a time when it particularly needed all the strength it could find. Everything depended upon Torah, the Law – the Way of Life laid down by God through Moses. It was harder to keep hope with Roman domination, yet it was the only hope there was to stay faithful and become even more faithful to the traditions and laws of Judaism.
So to Saul, this new Movement was leading people astray with unfounded theories and foolish, unrealistic hopes. It hurt him to the core and seemed to mock and threaten all the authority and purpose of God, to which Saul had given his whole life. And where was it coming from? Nobody who knew anything was in the Movement. It was like it came out of nowhere – no school, no tradition, no authentic teaching.
At first Saul only talked about it with his friends. But the more he talked, the more he was convinced that this new Movement was a serious and dangerous threat. Again and again it crossed the lines of blasphemy, claiming an identity for this leader named Yeshua that was clearly anti-Jewish and even idolatrous.
And now the new Movement was claiming that this Yeshua had even risen from the dead. That meant the leaders of the Movement were liars. They were misleading the people on purpose. Why anybody would believe such tripe Saul could not imagine, but they were believing it – in greater and greater numbers.
Saul could stand by no longer. He began to actively argue against this Movement and all who represented it. He told all of his friends that the time to sit idly by was over – that this was a threat that could not remain unchallenged. Many others already felt the same way.
So young Saul, near the age of thirty and a brilliant and able Rabbi of great promise, became the most prominent defender of Judaism against the new Movement of a dead carpenter named Yeshua (Jesus).
Then one day Saul, having helped to drive most followers of this New Way out of Jerusalem or at least into silence and hiding, was going to Damascus, where he believed many of the followers of Yeshua had gone to live. Nobody had started calling them Christians yet. That was a nasty title invented later, used to poke derision at people who worshipped a mere man instead of God.
By this time, Saul had been responsible for the punishment, imprisonment, and even death of many followers of the carpenter from Nazareth. (Acts 26:9-11) Now he had letters from the chief priests giving him authority to do the same in Damascus.
And as he was nearing Damascus in the middle of the day, light brighter than the sun burst upon him. He fell to the ground, blinded by the light!
"And a voice spoke to him in Hebrew: 'Saul, Saul why do you persecute me? It is hurting you even more than me or my people.' And Saul said, 'Lord, who are you?' And the voice from Heaven said, 'I AM Yeshua, the one you keep trying to kill.'"
On that day, the old Saul died and, at the age of thirty, a man we know as the Apostle Paul was born.
I presume you know, from the sermon title, exactly where we are going in this little meditation this morning. However, knowing and going are not always synonymous. And even if for some of you they are, it is nonetheless wonderful to know where we are going and to go there – if we love the destination.
However, humans are famous for not always knowing their true destinations. That is, we do not always let ourselves know where or what we are really headed for. To complicate it further, we sometimes persist in behavior that is clearly contradictory to the destinations we claim to hold most dear.
To complicate it further, it is logical to conclude that logic alone will not carry us to most of our most cherished destinations. That makes it harder, at times, to see the clear distinction between our own rationalizations and the inspiration that sometimes comes from some inner source of wisdom.
To complicate it even further, we are a proud and stubborn people – quick to anger and slow to change, sometimes insisting on persisting in behavior that has never worked well in the past, continuing in the blind faith that if we keep doing things as we have always done them, this time we will get different results.
Some of you think I am talking about current events – economic trends, ecological crises, perhaps the Middle East. Those of you who know me better know that I seldom get so lofty – or so kind as to put us onto subjects where we mostly get to point our fingers elsewhere. So I am talking about us – the way we pray (or do not pray); the way we spend our money and our time; the way we are developing our relationships; how we work; what we are living for day to day – each one of us, including what we are each doing as part of this particular faith family, this Christian church.
Has anything died around here lately? Do you have less hope, less faith, less inspiration or guidance from the Holy Spirit, less vision than you did a year ago?
Where there is death, there is decay. Sometimes, when I was a boy on our little ranch, we could tell something had died by the smell. Sometimes, when I am on vacation and walk into a church, I can tell by the feel or the smell that there is not much life there. Something has died and nothing has been done about it.
Those of us raised on farms have to be careful of our imagery. What seems natural to us – of nature – can seem crude or offensive to you city folks. So I am trying to be dainty. (Said the hippopotamus.)
Death and decay is a natural part of life – on all levels. Some ideas decay and die. Nations decay and die. Whole religions decay and die. In Paul's day it would have been almost inconceivable that the day would come when Mithraism would no longer be a powerful world religion, or that there would be major cities with no temples to Zeus or Diana or Apollos. Of course, some would claim that we have only changed the names to Pentagon, Mall of America, and Madison Square Garden, but what do they know?
Has anything died around here lately? Plans maybe? Dreams perhaps? Notions or concepts of what you or your life could be like? Do such things leave any odor of decay when they die? Are such deaths a cause for burial? Is there some proper way to mourn or remember them? We used to be afraid of disease if something died and we did not bury it properly. Is there any danger of disease if a plan or a dream or an idea or a belief dies?
Sometimes, wandering through my days, I hear people mention being sick of something or tired of something – sometimes even "sick and tired" of something. Has something died and they did not bury it? Or maybe it has decayed but they do not know if it's dead yet. Lots of times I get the impression that something is both dead and decayed but they have no intention of doing anything about it; they are just going to go on living as they are living, doing what they are doing – being sick and tired of it but nothing is going to change.
Clearly I do not have enough time to say very much about any of this, having spent most of my sermon time with the children. But I was just wondering: Has anything died around here lately?
You see, the real truth is that if nothing has died, nothing new can come to life. If you have not smelled any decay in your life, you are not a candidate for conversion. If you are not sick and tired of anything, the chances of your turning your life and your will over to the care of God or to the guidance of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ are almost nil.
Some of you want me to preach about resurrection and hope and faith and even the love of the New Life in Christ, but you do not want me to mention the bad smells or the decay or the death that dog our steps every day we are here in this world. Do you never get weary of the pressure and the tension? Do you ever wonder why such good intentions and earnest labor so often come to nothing or get undone? Do you ever feel like evil is not just a myth or a theory, but a true and intentional force that keeps coming around and around on some giant merry-go-round that never truly goes away?
If something has died around here lately, that means there is hope for us. If truly we are sick and tired of life as we have known it, that means Jesus can talk to us at last. If we are ready to let some of the way we have been living or some of the things we have been living for go into the fire and perish, that means the Spirit is finally freed to bring New Life out of the ashes for us.
Resurrection is not only about end-times. It comes on endless levels and dimensions and is offered all through our lives. But there is no resurrection if we cannot face death on all those same levels and in all those many dimensions. The sixth chapter of Romans comes straight out of Paul's experience on the Damascus Road: "By baptism we were buried with him, and lay dead, in order that, as Christ was raised from the dead in the splendour of the Father, so also we might set our feet upon the new path of life." (Romans 6:4, NEB)
Has anything died around here lately? O God, let it be me, and let it be my friends. Let it be that we will not merely know the Christian Way, but dare to live it.

Please can you tell me what I can remove in order to make my header invisible?
I have an image but its on a white background, its the white background I want to get rid of.
Please can you tell me what I can remove in order to make my header invisible?
I have an image but its on a white background, its the white background I want to get rid of.
You don't supply either a link to your site, or tell us what theme you are using, so it's not easy to help. However, from what you say, it sounds as though it's the image that you need to manipulate rather than your theme. If your image has a white background when it's not being displayed on your site, it will still have a white background when displayed on your site.
I'm not sure, either, why you say you want to make your header invisible. If you do that and if your image is a part of your header, it will make your image invisible as well.
Can you supply some more detail to help us understand what you have and what you'd like to achieve?
Ich versuche für die Photovoltaik Informationsseite den Header zu ändern.
Es wäre sehr hilfreich wenn mir jemand mitteilen könnte wo ich oder in welcher datei ich was ändern muss.
vilen dank!
The site is http://www.ghoststorm.co.uk
The image is on a transparent background but that itself is shown on a white background and I want no background.
You can't not have a background. You either get an inherited one or a default one. In this case the elements in this area are inheriting from the background on the #content div, which is white.
There are a number of elements in the area you are concerned with. The first one is the #top-social-profiles area. The CSS for this is:
#top-social-profiles {
height: 32px;
margin-right: 15px;
padding-top: 10px;
text-align: right;
To get the body background colour (#0F1012) behind this element you need to set the right margin to zero (margin-right: 0;), set the right padding to 15px (padding-right: 15px;) and set the background colour to the body's background colour (background-color: #0F1012;).
For the area below the social profiles you just need to set the background colour on the #header div to #0F1012 (background-color: #0F1012).
If you do not have total control over your theme's code, you should, of course, do all this in a child theme since it's the only recommended way to make changes to themes.
Your new rules would (assuming you did also want to change the background on the social profiles) look like this:
#top-social-profiles {
margin-right: 0;
padding-right: 15px;
background-color: #0F1012;
#header {
background-color: #0F1012;

Our room at this Riad was beautiful and comfortable just like all the other reviews stated. However, there are a number of beautiful riads in the Marrakech area. I would recommend going some place else. I must state that separate from our experience the location of the riad is not as close as I would prefer to be to the center area of the Medina. Now this just may be our experience but we felt extremely ripped off when we left for a few reasons.
1) We arrived late at night and wanted some food - we were about to go out when the riad head - told us he will get us Lamb sandwiches - with this being our first night in Morocco we didn't know any better - but he charged us almost 12 US dollars each for sandwiches specifically ones we could have bought for less than half the price even with tip for him. He took advantage to us being new in the city.
2) Both of us lost our baggage on the way over and expected some help from the riad since we did not speak the language. The riad was less than helpful and even made us feel awkward about using their phone. At the time we believed this wasn't weird but when later riads offered a lot more help we were more disappointed in our first experience.
3) Paying - the riad operator made us pay in cash (specifically Euro). We were expecting to us credit cards but none of our 4 credit cards worked. However, they work everywhere else - never any problems. Then he charge a few dollars more than listed in the items in the mini bar.
4) Finally, we asked the operator what we should pay for shoes and clothing around the city (since we didn't have any clothes due to our bags) - the prices he told us to bargain for were extremely high! I was told after that the prices were even higher than tourist prices.
Bottom line: Try somewhere else for the cost!

Isle of Wight's sunken World War II tanks studiedBreaking News
Maritime archaeologists have investigated ways for World War II tanks at the bottom of the sea near the Isle of Wight to be protected.
The tanks and other equipment were being carried on a landing craft which capsized and lost its cargo as it was heading for the D-Day landings in 1944.
They sit on the seabed between the east of the island and Selsey, West Sussex.
Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology is looking at how land legislation can be applied to the sea.
The project has been funded by English Heritage.... .....

Dragon Land Bakery
Most bakeries are sought after for their sweets, but the savory stuff is the real star at this corner pastry haunt. Underneath a ceiling hung with empty cake boxes, vested bao gatekeepers parked near the wall-spanning display of shiny, glazed buns guide the pick-and-point operation, bagging treats in wax-paper packets—they rule against customers grabbing items themselves and, curiously, limit the amount of pennies you can pay with (FYI, it's five per customer). Ask for the hot-dog-and-scallion bun—the eggy, clover-shaped crust of this Chinese take on pigs-in-a-blanket is studded with chopped franks and topped with green onion sprigs; or a baked char siu bao, sweet minced onions cutting through the salty, syrupy pork filling.

Really very good bakery. It is kind of easy to miss, and there are a lot of very decent bakeries in the area - including those that look a lot better (the decor and atmosphere is more of a '2'), but the buns, assorted cakes, baked goods, and miscellaneous other stuff here is really quite tasty and delicious. It is also a good bargain. Would certainly recommend stopping off here, if in the area, and picking up some savory treats to munch on.

So my sons OT wants him to start playing with age appropriate toys. Because of his light perception he is still only playing with toys that light up and make noises. My question is what are age approprite toys for a 2 year old that I could possibly get him interested in playing with since he is blind.
age appropriate toys for a 2 year old
Proud mommy of Hunter and Bailey.

The Bilibo is fun!
You could also try truck, cars, blocks, different size balls, stuffed toys with different textures or even a "Dapper Dan" dress-me doll.How about water toys? A few boats, a watering can or a pirate that he can take in the tub (I was going to say mermaid... my son loves the Dora Mermaid doll that belongs to my 7-year-old daughter!)
The Melissa and Doug sound puzzles are really fun too!
It's not always easy. My son wasn't interested in any of these things at first. (The first few times we tried to get him to stack a block he cried!) But eventually, he's learning how to have fun with them. He recently discovered my daughter's telescope. You know the kind where you can look into the hole and twist to see the prism colors change? I very much doubt he can see the prism, but he'll hold it up to his eye and turn it since my daughter showed him how to do it!
Good luck! Let's stick together!
thanks for all your advice I will try everything you told me.
Proud mommy of Hunter and Bailey.
That's crazy!! at two let him play with tactile toys, lighted toys, anything to keep his interest! My daughter is now four, blind with light perception, and she love tactile toys and books with braille. She does play with dolls and stuff too, musical instruments like the piano, but she still has her "baby" toys too because she loves them!! let him be happy. Check out www.braillesuperstore.com
www.ebay.com and search for braille toys or braille books or just braille if you have time. There are alot of age approiate adaptable toys there too!! Good Luck!

Hunters mommy,
I do see a lot of value in what your OT is getting at with the toys. Age appropriate play is important to help blind children develop social skills. I would talk to your OT about your concerns and ask her the questions you have concerning your son's play.
Good luck!

1. I'm a team playa
Whenever there are deadlines that need to be met or a bunch of tasks no one wants to do, I'm always there to help when I can.
2. I'm not a robot
I work really hard, but that's not to say my personality isn't a ray of sunshine. My voice may sound monotone at times, but that's only because I grew up admiring Wednesday Addams.
3. I love design
Spending the last four years studying design, working countless hours and pulling all nighters to reach perfection in every project, it would be a shame if I didn't love design.
4. Works well with others
They didn't trust me as an RA for the last three years for nothing… I like being around people and working with others. It makes work more enjoyable and helps when there's a lot of stress.
5. Good at multitasking
I love having 10 things to do at once. When I have absolutely nothing to do I am miserable. The only thing that slows me down is when my laptop can't keep up with me.
6. I get shiit done
There is nothing I find more unprofessional than being unprepared. I've never missed a deadline for anything and don't plan to in the future. If there is one thing I learned in college it's the importance of time management.
7. If I don't know something, I'm willing to learn it.
It's so easy to teach yourself something new with the help of youtube. I love designing and anything I could do to improve myself I will. If that means learning a new program or being able to do something I've never even heard of I'd be more than willing to step up to the plate.
8. I'm creative
No I'm not. This one is a lie. What even does it mean to be creative? A bowl of oatmeal has more imagination than me.
9. I'm a people person
While my spirit animal is Grumpy Cat, don't let my stone cold face fool you. I love being around people and I have a very sarcastic sense of humor.
10. I'm passionate.
I wouldn't try if I didn't care. Everything I do I put my heart into, otherwise what's the point? I can't see myself doing anything else for a living. I wish I could have done something with my life that was more simple, but I wouldn't be as happy as I am when designing and creating.
