Staying faithful: How the Internet changed the Christian dating game
Eugenio Marongiu, Getty Images/iStockphoto
Anne Kolsky wasn't sure online dating was for her.
Kolsky's 15-year marriage ended in 2008 because she adopted Christianity, and she knew faith would be the foundation of any new realtionship she built. But when she tried a few different Christian dating sites, she didn't have much luck.
"I was amazed at how many were ready to get married before even meeting. It was scary and very discouraging," Kolsky said. "There were a few men from my church that were interested, but I just did not feel a connection with them."
Then she met Mitch, a blind man who was working toward a career teaching blind children and had even uprooted his life in California to help start a church in the Midwest. Now, more than a year later, Kolsky says the two have a strong relationship thanks to the faith connection she didn't have in her marriage.
"I would rather be single than do it the wrong way again. If my future husband leads me closer to Christ, then great," Kolsky said. "If he takes away from Christ, I'm not interested. It is that important to me."
Dating sites like ChristianMingle and JDate have opened the floodgates for people of faith to find friendship or love with fellow believers outside of their local churches, but the services could also be bucking stereotypes about Christian relationships.
Director Corbin Bernsen wanted to explore the idea of faith as an individual journey — and dispel stereotypes about Christians — with the romantic comedy called "ChristianMingle The Movie," set for release in October.
The film's main character meets a proverbial "nice guy" on ChristianMingle.com and decides she has to lie about her faith to keep him interested. In the process, she reawakens her Christian faith. Bernsen says the message is that there are many paths to God and faith is no guarantee for a good relationship.
A February Christianity Today article addressed the problem of conflicting media reports about divorce rates among Christians versus nonbelievers. Some reports erroneously said that divorce rates among Christian couples were the same or even greater than those for society as a whole, the article noted.
Yet Christians are actually less likely to divorce, as the book "Christians Are Hate-Filled Hypocrites ... and Other Lies You've Been Told" points out: Catholics are 31 percent less likely and Protestants 35 percent less likely to divorce. Jews are 97 percent less likely to divorce than greater society. The American Psychological Association reports that the divorce rate for married couples in the U.S. is 40 percent to 50 percent.
"There's this weird blockage when you say you're of the 'Christian' faith. Nobody's going to fault you for being a Catholic or Jewish, but when you say you're Christian, people react almost like they do to Scientology, like, 'Oh, you're one of them,' " Bernsen said. "I just wanted to make a fun movie about faith and say that you don't get to the Christian faith with an IKEA manual. There's an infinite amount of ways to put this chest of drawers together."

Faith up front
Cyber dating expert and digital matchmaker Julie Spira says the beauty of dating online is that many sites recognize how individualized faith can be.
"There's not just one kind of faith on these sites," Spira said. "It allows you to have respect for each other's faith without trying to change it."

A team of astronomers has discovered enormous arms of hot gas in the Coma cluster of galaxies by using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton. These features, which span at least half a million light years, provide insight into how the Coma cluster has grown through mergers of smaller groups and clusters of galaxies to become one of the largest structures in the Universe held together by gravity.
A new composite image, with Chandra data in pink and optical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey appearing in white and blue, features these spectacular arms. In this image, the Chandra data have been processed so extra detail can be seen.
We are delighted to welcome Q. Daniel Wang as a guest blogger today. Daniel is the first author of a paper dissecting the X-ray-emitting gas around the center of our Galaxy, the subject of our latest press release. He is a professor in astronomy at University of Massachusetts Amherst. He was the Principal Investigator of the first large-scale Chandra and Hubble surveys of the Galactic center to explore various components of this exotic ecosystem. He recently enjoyed a four-month stay at University of Cambridge as a Beverley Sackler Distinguished Visiting astronomer, where much of the work reported in the paper was finished.
It has been known for a while that almost all massive galaxies contain a giant black hole at their centers. Most of such black holes, including the one at the center of our own Galaxy, are, however, far dimmer than quasars typically seen in the early universe. This dimness cannot simply be explained by decreasing amounts of material that the black holes could capture. Have the black holes lost their appetite? Or do they just swallow everything that is captured without much radiation? Many theories have been developed. But direct observational tests are hard to come by.
Observations with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have revealed a massive cloud of multimillion-degree gas in a galaxy about 60 million light years from Earth. The hot gas cloud is likely caused by a collision between a dwarf galaxy and a much larger galaxy called NGC 1232. If confirmed, this discovery would mark the first time such a collision has been detected only in X-rays, and could have implications for understanding how galaxies grow through similar collisions.
We are delighted to welcome Katja Poppenhaeger as a guest blogger today. Katja is the first author of a new paper describing the first exoplanet transit ever seen in X-rays, the subject of our latest press release. Katja studied physics at Frankfurt University in Germany, followed by a PhD in astrophysics at Hamburg Observatory in Germany, before coming to Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) as a postdoc.
Fourteen years ago this week, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched into space on the space shuttle Columbia. I didn't witness this spectacular event, but I know many who did. Those who had worked on Chandra's development for many years must have experienced a powerful mixture of nerves, excitement and satisfaction.
It's the height of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, so that means there isn't a better time for the Carnival (of Space, that is)!

Last week at the Chandra X-ray Center we celebrated July 4th a week early with this new image of cosmic fireworks. This is G1.9+0.3, the youngest remains - as seen from Earth - of any supernova in our galaxy. If gas and dust had not heavily obscured it, the supernova would have been visible from Earth just over a century ago.
Astronomers estimate that a star explodes as a supernova in our Galaxy, on average, about twice per century. In 2008, a team of scientists announced they discovered the remains of a supernova that is the most recent, in Earth's time frame, known to have occurred in the Milky Way.
Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have been used to discover 26 black hole candidates in the Milky Way's galactic neighbor, Andromeda, as described in our latest press release. This is the largest number of possible black holes found in a galaxy outside of our own.

Freshadama pearls are the world's highest-quality freshwater pearls. When pearls are sold at a production level, they are separated into several different qualities. Most qualities are considered "necklace" quality. These pearls are sold as matched temporary strands. There is one quality, however, that is treated differently. These pearls are sold loose and undrilled individually. These are the pearls we use to create our line of freshadama strands.

Tips for Beginning the School Year
What's Here
Starting the new school year is an exciting and stressful time for teachers. This page (which is excerpted from The Cornerstone book) will help you plan and prepare for the first day of school while maintaining your sanity.
Planning for the First Weeks of School
If it's any consolation to a stressed-out teacher in August, let me assure you, the start of school is definitely the hardest time, and things WILL get easier as the school year progresses! I think that's good news, because we as teachers get the worst part over with right away. There are days in the beginning of the year in which you want to collapse by noon because you are so exhausted/ That's totally normal, even for veteran teachers! So if you're close to having a nervous breakdown and school hasn't even begun yet, be encouraged. There will be other stressful points in the year, certainly- but by the end of September, you'll be over the first- and biggest- hurdle. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
Two Misconceptions
When preparing for their first job, new teachers often talk to people and find resources that guide them to make two mistakes in their thinking:
1) Planning for the very first day is the most important thing
2) Having back-to-school activities is essential
The truth is that creating, introducing, modeling, and reinforcing your procedures and routines is the most critical task you will need to focus on and accomplish in the beginning of the year. You will be setting the tone for your class throughout the first several weeks of school. You will be constantly reinforcing your rules and routines because you can't teach all of your procedures on the first day, and students need lots of modeling and practice. Plan ahead–what will you do on the SECOND day of school? It's important to think out how you will reinforce your routines the following week, and the week after that. (Don't worry, I've created an entire section of my website that's devoted to showing you how to create, introduce, and reinforce routines and procedures).
The second misperception comes from the wealth of resources about what to "do" with the kids on the first day of school. You teach them, that's what! Rules, routines, procedures, and then academics as soon as possible. You don't need a bunch of cutesy get-to-know-you games mixed in with "curriculum lite"–in fact, many principals are cracking down on this tradition and insisting that new curriculum be taught on the first day of school. Whether you think that's too extreme or not, the best teachers do get procedures in place quickly so they can get down to business right away. You only have your children for 10 months- you cannot afford to waste a week or two on back to school activities. The exception to this is when those activities are educational, but that is seldom the case- the purpose is generally to get kids acclimated and ready to learn. If students know your expectations and procedures, and your classroom tone is safe and inviting, students will adjust easily within your regular curriculum and routines.
Preparing for Classroom and Behavior Management
The most important thing you can do is plan out your routines (the regular procedures). All of them. Pencil sharpening, bathroom privileges, passing in papers, even stacking chairs on desks at the end of the day. Figure out exactly what you want kids to do, and how to communicate those expectations to them. The more specific you are, the less room there will be for students to misinterpret or push the limits of what is acceptable. Write down the procedures you plan in case you forget or if you are put on the spot, and leave the list for substitutes so they can reference it when needed. Don't worry, you can always change things later. It's better to say to students, "You know? I don't thinking this way is working, let's try this" than to let the classroom be a free-for-all until you have it all figured out. (By the way, even after thirty years in the classroom, you won't EVER have it all figured out. I still try new procedures and routines every year, looking for the optimal way to make my classroom run smoothly. That's part of the art of teaching- enjoy the possibilities!).
You can't teach it all the first day. You have to prioritize which routines must be taught first thing, which can be taught later in the day, and which can wait for later in the week. How to move about in the classroom (no running), where to hang coats and backpacks, and hand-raising policies are things you will probably cover as the situations arise naturally within the first half hour of the children being in the room. Later, you can practice hall behavior, bathroom expectations, pencil sharpening routines, and rules/ conflict resolution. (With my Pre-K children I would talk about friendship and respect as soon as the class was settled down, so that I could begin to model problem solving, rather than spend the day intervening in conflicts. Young children are in school to learn social skills, so I think that is appropriate. With elementary-aged kids, I generally wait until the afternoon or the second day because they already have some knowledge of what is appropriate and what isn't in school). In the afternoon, you can teach them how to head their papers, homework procedures, and dismissal routines. On the second day, you will explicitly reinforce what you have already taught, and add things such as how to pass in papers, distribute supplies, and participate in teaching techniques you plan to use (think-pair-share, partner reading, noise level monitoring devices, three-before-me, etc.).
On the How to Create Class Rules page, you'll learn the difference between rules and procedures, how to set class rules/goals and introduce them to children in the beginning of the year, and find guidelines for choosing logical consequences.
Guidelines for Choosing Back-to-School Activities
Remember the purpose of your back to school activities- to set up an environment conducive to learning and reinforce procedures and rules so that you can begin to teach the curriculum as soon as possible. If an activity does not contribute to that goal, why use it?
- If you are a beginning teacher (or a veteran who gets easily stressed out), keep it very, very simple. You can always try those elaborate lessons later in the year, or next school year.
- Pick activities that require very little planning and prep work on your part, and that use few materials. You don't want to be in the middle of a project and realize you don't have tempera paint or pipe cleaners, because your students will require your constant and full attention on the first day of school.
- Choose several activities which your students can do independently, even if it's a simple word search or coloring page. You may not plan to use them, but if an urgent issue comes up, you need to have something to engage the students. You may also need a few minutes of 'down time' for yourself.
The slideshow below features some excellent books to read aloud during the first week of school. Many of them address students' fears, while others help you set classroom expectations. I've also included a few teacher resource books that I think have great back-to-school activities. Also, on the 5 Pro-Active Strategies page, I've included book recommendations specifically designed to help you set expectations–they're great to read during the first few days of school.
When to Start Teaching Academic Concepts
You can introduce academic concepts on the first day if you and your students are ready, the second day at the latest. Your activities could be as simple as a Mad Minute addition drill kids that love, a spelling game, or map activities- you don't have to get into the text immediately, but do start working. The children are there to learn, not to get to know each other- after the second day, let that part happen naturally.
Procedures and routines can be built right into academic lessons. For example, plan a shorter-than-normal writing prompt so you can spend fifteen minutes teaching how to head papers. Plan a brief math lesson using manipulatives so you can introduce the items to the children and practice using them correctly first.
When and How to Start Reading Group and Center Routines
This will depend on your comfort level, how well you have established routines, how mature your group is, and of course, the requirements of your administration. Usually, between the third and fourth weeks of school is about right. However, this is a slow process. It's a critical part of two of the most important tasks you will tackle this year: maintaining order in your classroom and teaching your students to read. It takes considerable time and attention at the beginning of the year to make the process run smoothly. I would advise you not to worry about reading groups before school starts, because you've got more immediate matters to attend to.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've forgotten to plan for a procedure or routine?
While it's important to plan things out in advance, it just isn't possible to prepare for every eventuality. The good news, whether you realize it or not yet, is that teachers are good at thinking on their feet! Handle new situations as they arise–it's better to have to change a procedure than to not introduce one at all and let the kids run the show however they want. Just remember that your students will have to un-learn any routines you create (or don't create, and therefore don't enforce) once you know what you want them to do. You can find information about planning for arrival/dismissal routines, bathroom/hallway/water fountain procedures, collecting/distributing papers, and more in the Routines and Procedures section of this website.
How do I prepare when I don't have a classroom or can't access it yet?
Sometimes you won't be able to do much until the last minute because you don't know which school or grade level you'll be in, or you can't access your room for some reason. (One year my school was being painted and the contractors were behind schedule. The estimated completion date was August 16th–the students' first day of school!)
In those situations, the best thing to do is gather your ideas and plan your routines. That year, I used my summer to do lots of research on word walls and morning messages, plus I made centers that I knew second graders would need no matter what the curriculum looked like (since I didn't have the documents yet). Try to get in contact with other teachers in your district who can explain things to you. You can also go to your school and school system's website. Take a look at your union contract (which is probably available online) and take some time to get to know the district expectations–and your rights. If you read your contract, you can most likely find out how many hours your workday is, how much planning time you are entitled to, how many mandatory meetings can be held, and other info that is important to keep up with. You won't have time to read that once school starts, so it's a good thing to do early on. There's no point in stressing out or worrying, so take a deep breath and try to relax!
Help! I'm panicking! There is no way I'm going to get this all done before the first day of school
I think every new teacher (and most veterans!) feel this way at the start of the year. Teachers always go around asking each other, "Are you ready? Are you ready?" and we all roll our eyes and say, "No, even if I had another week I would still have a million more things to do." The good news is, not everything has to be done before the first day of school.
Remember: You don't have to grade anything right away. Don't stay after school the first week marking papers–get your room and lessons together! It's important not to let things pile up, but prioritize. You have eight more weeks before grades are due.
What do I do with the supplies students send in?
Children come in on the first day of school with all kinds of cool supplies, half of which weren't on your list. They'll also continue to bring in supplies during the first few weeks of school, especially in impoverished communities in which parents wait to shop until the payday after school starts. Have notebook paper and pencils ready to loan to those who come to school with nothing in their backpacks and decide how you will handle returning supplies you've lent out and the possibility of borrowing from other students.
What if school is starting and I feel like my classroom still isn't set up or organized the way I want it?
That's okay! Everything doesn't have to be in place right away. Setting up takes awhile, and you'll want to change things as you figure out how you want to use materials and space. I like to rearrange all year long. It takes the pressure off me in August because I know nothing is permanent, and I get to adapt things to accommodate the children's changing needs.
Is it normal to develop an eye twitch because I'm on complete information overload?
YES. Even veteran teachers who have been at the same school teaching the same grade for years feel this way every August…if you don't believe me, ask them! Teachers have a TON of information thrown at them during the fall, and between technology glitches, curriculum gaps, and procedural omissions and misinformation, EVERYONE feels like they're getting way more information than they could ever possibly retain. Take good notes and keep your handouts organized and easily accessible (try taking your notebook and teaching guides home at night to review). It won't be like this forever, I promise! Usually by the second week, I feel like I'm in my groove, and most new teachers begin feeling this way sometime during the first quarter. There is an end in sight!
The beginning of the year is the most physically and intellectually draining for everyone, but you won't be falling into bed exhausted EVERY night for the entire year. Be prepared to work extra hard now and you will reap the benefits quickly. And whatever you do, remember that feeling overwhelmed is completely normal, and that even if other teachers aren't showing it, they're experiencing beginning-of-the-year stress, too. You're not an idiot because you're unable to process everything the first time you hear it. It's okay to do things wrong the first time, make lots of inadvertent mistakes, ask questions that have already been answered, have people repeat themselves, and get them to remind you of their names 'one more time'. ☺
There's more! The first chapter of The Cornerstone ('Classroom Arrangement') will show you the 8 components of room arrangement, the most effective desk set-ups, and how to design your instructional areas. The second chapter ('Planning for the First Weeks of School') provides three pages of sample lesson plans for teaching procedures during the first week of school. The chapter will also outline the 11 things that HAVE to get done before the first day of school, and suggest what to buy (and what NOT to buy) for your classroom.

Safety Beyond Facebook: 12 Social Media Apps Every Parent Should Know About
6 of 17
This walkie-talkie PTT (push-to-talk) app allows users to quickly exchange short voice messages. They can have chats going on with multiple people at a time and just have to tap the play button to hear any messages they receive. Although it largely has an adult following, including some people who use it for their job, it's becoming popular among teens who enjoy its hybrid style of texting and talking. Hurtful messages from cyberbullies can be even more biting when they're spoken and can be played repeatedly. Surprisingly, the app is rated ages 4+ in the App Store.

To Dye a Saffron Colour
Were the 16th century "saffron shirts" really dyed with expensive saffron? Or was it something else?
A Few Arguments on the Subject of Saffron

legacy of the founder of the modern Ukrainian language Taras Shevchenko,
who has twice been celebrated as a cultural leader of world acclaim
by UNESCO.
Taras Shevchenko, Ukraine's greatest poet, artist and champion of
his people's freedom was born a serf in the village of Moryntsi,
Ukraine. Though orphaned by the age of 11, his talents developed
While studying art in St. Petersburg, he became known to the democratic
intellectual elite of Tsarist Russian society and was bought out
of serfdom through their efforts. Although free, he never forgot
his roots and his fiery poetry, such as in the Kobzar, published
in 1840, drew the ire of the repressive Tsarist regime. For this,
he was exiled in 1847 to punitive military service in the eastern
regions of the Empire. After receiving a pardon in 1857, he continued
to work and struggle until his death.
Ukrainian Folk Tapestry Exhibit at Aga Khan Museum, April 23 & 24, 2016

Bruce Willis - scan 1 by Doctor-PencilWatch

I always start with an outline! I use different methods for measuring the distance between facial features. I NEVER just guess the distance! It became obvious to me early on in portrait drawing, that there are precise measurements involved? It's a crucial part of making a person look like who they are! You can use rulers, markings on scrap paper, grid paper, etc. The outline is not a fast sketch either. If you don't get it right, the whole drawing is off!
Fantastic outline of Bruce!

Westchester County Center
|198 Central Ave
White Plains, NY 10606
|Basketball: 5,000
Concerts: 5,000
|Westchester Knicks (NBA D-League) (2014–present)
The Westchester County Center is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in White Plains, New York. It hosts various local concerts and sporting events for the area.
The County Center was conceived by the Westchester Recreation Commission in 1924 as a multi-purpose indoor recreational facility to host community programs and income-producing commercial events. It was designed by the architectural firm of Walker & Gillette, and built and decorated in the Art Deco style. The construction project cost of approximately $785,000. A $16-million rehabilitation was completed in 1988.
For nearly 80 years the County Center has been Westchester's premier setting for thousands of concerts, trade shows, sports events, meetings, seminars, theatrical presentations, conventions and civic and community events.
On the weekend of May 22, 1930, the Westchester County Center Grand opening gala was held, attracting thousands from all over Westchester to hear such notable musicians as the pianist Percy Grainger, Metropolitan Opera Company tenor Edward Johnson, organist Palmer Christian and more than 1,500 local choral group performers. In the ensuing years, generations of County Center audiences have been treated to performances by such greats as Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Joan Sutherland, James Brown, Kenny Rogers, Janis Joplin and John Sebastian, along with the Harlem Globetrotters, World Wrestling Entertainment, and the Royal Hanneford Circus, one of the longest running events at the Center to date.
Notable events[edit]
- Grand opening was held May 22, 1930 features pianist Percy Grainger, Metropolitan Opera Company tenor Edward Johnson, organist Palmer Christian [1]
- First Westchester Music Festival is held in July, 1930 in the newly opened center [2]
- Governor Herbert H. Lehman winds up his campaign with an address at a rally of the American Labor party in 1936 [3]
- Joe Baksi, future heavyweight contender, beat future movie actor Jack Palance (who fought under the name of Jack Brazzo) on December 17, 1940.[4]
- List of over 400 boxing shows held at the center from the boxrec database.[5]
- Since the fall of 2014, it has been the home of the Westchester Knicks, the New York Knicks' farm team in the NBA Development League.

To the Editor.—
Plesiomanas shigelloides is a straight, motile gramnegative bacillus of the family Vibrionaceae. It is widespread in tropical and subtropical environments and has been isolated from ponds and rivers, as well as fish and oysters. Although the pathogenicity of P shigelloides has been questioned, the organism has been isolated in the absence of other pathogens from stools of more than 100 persons with gastroenteritis. Recent laboratory studies have indicated that this organism can produce an enterotoxin.1,2 Thus, the emerging consensus is that it can cause gastroenteritis in immunocompetent patients.Although accummulated evidence suggests that P shigelloides is an intestinal pathogen, the source(s) of illness has only been hypothesized. Rutala et al3 reported an outbreak of gastrointestinal tract illness associated with a North Carolina oyster roast. In that outbreak, P shigelloides was isolated from a single stool specimen as well as an oyster harvested from the same

The complex is beautiful, in line with the typical architecture of the region. It has a community garden and pool. The atmosphere is quiet, because although it´s in first sea line, the building is separated from the street and no noise reaches.
The apartment is big, is around 80 square meters. It has two double bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living-dining room. The terrace is about 12 square meters, gets sun in the morning and during lunch time is on shade, so it can be very comfortable. One floor further up there is another 30 square meters terrace, it is a private solarium, perfect for tanning or enjoying a spectacular sunset, overlooking the sea and the mountains just behind.
Downstairs is the community garage with a big and easy parking lot with space on both sides which lets you open all doors completely of most cars.
It is well equipped with fridge, hob, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, and kitchenware so you can use the kitchen without problem. It also has air conditioning, television, satellite television (Astra free to air), radio-cd, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Internet connection is available via wifi by pay per use.
The bed linen is included. The towels are not included, except one hand towel and one floor towel, for out of the shower. A standard final cleaning is included. If there were any stains on upholstery (mattresses, pillows, blankets, cushions…) or excessive dirt that requires special cleaning, it will be discounted from the deposit.
The deposit is 300€, which will be returned after checking and cleaning, if the house is in the same conditions of preservation and cleaning as in the entry. For bank accounts outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the expenses for returning the deposit will be discounted.

Het appartement was netjes, schoon. Bedden goed. Jammer dat er niet vermeld was dat het in het winterseizoen nogal koud is en er geen zon komt op het balkonnetje. De benedenburen hebben jonge kinderen die erg hoorbaar zijn.
In de keuken doen de oven en de afzuigkap het niet. Er is 1 grote pan en een piepklein steelpannetje, geen waterkoker, geen theepot. Tevreden over de toegang en garageruimte.

i had this for over a year now.... idk why i didnt review this sooner but oh well its a really nice cotton t shirt and the design never faded so i love it alot and its really comfortable not itchy at all!
This is a very soft t shirt and really good quality, very comfortable to wear. I'm 164cm and wear UK10 clothes, this is long enough and a bit loose and exactly what I was after.
This rabbit shirt is so cute yet the black n white contrast gives it a hint of edginess should look nice with a pair of black legging. Casual n comfortable!
Very comfortable and nice T-shirt. I really like the design!
This shirt is the cutest thing i own. Although, be warned that the shirt is really long for short people. I'm 5'0 and it kind of fits me like a shirt dress but it just makes it that much cuter. If you are short like me and want to purchase this shirt you could tuck it in your pants/ skirt or just wear it long. either way it's still cute.
It's as long and as loose as the picture shows. I love it! The material is soft and comfy. And for this price! It's a win.
Great quality, soft material. A little bit long for me, but it's ok.
I love the black and white sleeves so much. I really like this sirt the graphic is great and the fabric is soft
I love this shirt! It is super soft and made of good material. It is just like the pictures. It is a big baggy, but i'm 5"1. This will look good with anything!
Really cute and comfortable shirt. Been wearing it a lot and it's long enough to wear with leggings.

AbstractIn this proposal, Kutta leverages its own Multi-Mission Planner and Controller Tool - Software Development Kit (MMPACT-SDK) as well as its partner's past autonomous collaborative experiences. Kutta's SDK allows the team to architect a controller that enables an operator to launch an offensive mission with unmanned aircraft (UA) and unmanned ground vehicles. The UAs in this proposal are unique in that they can be equipped with modular standard military issued small arms payloads (e.g. M-16s, grenades, flash-bang grenades, or subterranean radios). The user interface allows the operator the ability to launch semi-autonomous or completely autonomous missions. Unique concepts of operations that take advantage of the modular UA payloads enable offensive strafing operations, perimeter security, lead/follow modes, as well as surprise attacks, including unique subterranean capabilities. In order to accomplish this goal, Kutta uses a proven software engineering methodology to derive the set of functionality for the autonomous version of the MMPACT controller (A-MMPACT). Based upon the functionality assessment, Kutta designs the necessary software components for integration into the existing SDK and concludes the Phase I with a demonstration of a mission thread with an actual UA in the loop.

Praise for Rainer Maria Rilke and Edward Snow
"Edward Snow is doing important work. Robert Lowell once wrote that it was hard to imagine Rilke first written in English, that the poems were sealed in German. Snow is unsealing them."—Robert Phillips, Houston Chronicle
Praise for the Duino Elegies
"[This] translation of the Elegies is the finest that I have ever read . . . Snow has gradually been building a reputation as Rilke's best contemporary translator in English. His version of the Elegies should cement that reputation, and elevate it: Snow may be the best translator that Rilke has ever had."—Brian Phillips, The New Republic
Praise for The Book of Images
"Snow has rendered with great skill and accuracy a work both familiar and unknown, more complicated and more immediate than many have suspected, at once grave, mysterious, and beautiful."—Edward Hirsch
"With these sorrowing and luminous poems . . . it is possible to gain, for the first time in English, a consistent perspective of Rilke's difficult canon, here restored and disclosed to stunning effect."—Richard Howard
Praise for Uncollected Poems
"Something of the non-vatic Rilke, poet of perception and sensation, is best conveyed in English by Snow's mediations."—Harold Bloom
"The Snow translation of these little-known Rilke poems is brilliant."—Mark Strand
Praise for New Poems
"Rilke's first great work . . . [Snow's translation] is clear, accurate, and fluent."—Stephen Mitchell

Annie Blackburn
this wiki
This article contains major spoilers from Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. If you have not watched the aforementioned television program and film, it is strongly recommended that you do not read this article.
Annie Blackburn, played by Heather Graham, is the sister of Norma Jennings, from whom she gets a job in the Double R Diner. She appears in the final 6 episodes of the series and briefly in the prequel feature film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. Born on December 24, 1971 she grew up in Twin Peaks, but, after a painful romantic experience that led her to slit her wrist in a suicide attempt, she went to live in a convent. She hasn't decided if she wants to remain in the secular world, but is willing to see what it can offer her. Despite her lack of experience outside the convent, Annie is not naive about everyday sorrows and transgressions. She may be seen as a mirror for FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper.
Original seriesEdit
She seems to possess an intangible quality to which he is drawn, almost hypnotically. Annie ultimately begins to represent a dark and painful truth from his past. Subsequently, she is cast into Agent Cooper's urgent quest to elude/capture the progenitor of his increasingly nightmarish existence. In the final episode of the series she is trapped in the Black Lodge by Windom Earle who brings her there as his "Queen" after she wins Miss Twin Peaks (Earle was playing a "sick chess game" involving real people prior to this). At the end of the episode Dale Cooper is himself possessed by the spirit of BOB, and he and Annie depart the Black Lodge.
Fire Walk with MeEdit
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Annie appears to Laura Palmer in a dream bruised and bloodied to warn her of her death, but as the events are still to happen, Laura does not understand the message. Annie says, "My name is Annie, and I've been with Laura and Dale. The good Dale is in the Lodge, and he can't leave. Write it in your diary."
In a deleted scene from the film, she is in the hospital wearing the ring that Laura Palmer and Teresa Banks were wearing on the nights they were killed. Her wounds at this point appear to have been treated, but she is still in an apparent trance. She repeats her message for Laura to the nurse attending to her, though it is not clear if she knows who she is talking to (the shooting script indicates she is trying to communicate with the nurse, but these are the only words she can vocalize). The nurse proceeds to steal Annie's ring, unaware of its importance.
In another deleted scene, Cooper (trapped in the Black Lodge) asks The Man from Another Place where the ring is. The man replies that "someone else has it now," and silently confirms Cooper's fears that it is Annie.

Well TTS that Tequatl slaying guild is still killing him daily on multiple overflows and a couple high population servers are too but it's to be expected that most other servers can't kill that often. I honestly think Tequatls problems lie less with the event and it's difficultly and more with everything around it.
For starters for some reason the boss is still on a timer which means your probably going to be standing around waiting for him to spawn most of the time which discourages anyone trying to learn the fight. Tequatl is begging for a pre-event that only resets if he fails so you can spawn him whenever your server is ready. Also there needs to be an easier way of guilds getting their own overflow then the current "taxi" system which only a guild as large as TTS can do at this point.
Other then that there's nothing wrong with hard content in the game. There are many more world bosses and meta-events you can do daily and Tequatl was an absolute joke before this patch. If you really want to kill this guy just join one of those tequatl slaying guilds most of them are open and don't have representation rules.

Politics & Policy
World Headlines: Argentina's Kirchner Returns To Presidency
Argentina, La Nacion
She's back.
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has resumed duties a month after undergoing brain surgery to remove a clot found during a routine examination.
"Thank you ... to the thousands of Argentines who have been praying for me," she said in a televised address.
During the address, she briefly held a small white dog sent by a brother of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a Kirchner ally.
Kirchner also announced a Cabinet reshuffle, naming Axel Kicillof, the minister of economics. Kicillof is the leftist economist who orchestrated the government's expropriation of YPF, the country's largest oil company. He replaces Hernan Lorenzino, who was named envoy to the European Union.
Nepal, Kathmandu Post
Now to Nepal, where voters are choosing a Constituent Assembly that has the task of writing a new Constitution.
More than 12 million voters are expected to cast ballots to pick candidates for the 575-seat chamber. Nepal, which is sandwiched between giants China and India, became a republic in 2008 following more than two centuries as a monarchy.
More than 100 parties are contesting the election, including Maoists, the Nepali Congress and the Unified Marxist-Leninist.
At the last election in 2008, 54 political parties were in the fray. The Maoists emerged as the largest party, but the Constituent Assembly that was formed failed to come up with a new Constitution following disputes over the number of provinces and forms of governance. The chamber was disbanded last May.
Britain, BBC
Finally, it's not Spam.
Monty Python's five surviving members say they will reunite for a stage show, for the first time in more than a decade.
"We're getting together and putting on a show - it's real," Terry Jones told the BBC. "I'm quite excited about it. I hope it makes us a lot of money. I hope to be able to pay off my mortgage!"
The reunion is expected to be officially announced at a news conference Tuesday.
The other members — John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin — will appear at the show with Jones. Graham Champan, the sixth member of the group, died in 1989.
They last performed together on stage at the 1998 the Aspen Comedy Festival.
Monty Python shot to fame with the BBC TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus. They then took their comedic genius to the big screen with iconic films such as Life of Brian and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I am planning on paying the $1572 plus the court costs the day of my hearing. I was told by the Investigation agent that I wouldnt have to serve any jail or probation. Is that true?
I have never been in trouble with the law, other than 1 speeding ticket. All this was a misunderstanding over reporting my wage changes.
Criminal Defense Attorney
The current context is not entirely clear. At the beginning of your question ("I am being charged. . .") seems to suggest that the charges have not yet been filed. If that is true, it would be of potentially great benefit to you to have the debt settled without charges being filed at all. Unless you already know the answer to that, I would contact the investigator for DPW to see if charges could be avoided with prompt payment of the whole amount owed. If charges have been filed then I suggest you talk with some attorneys in the area who are experienced in the defense of criminal charges BEFORE your hearing. Most of us who do this offer free, if limited consultations. Take advantage of that and speak to lawyers qualified to handle this matter. You will at least gain some understanding of you situation and likely outcomes. You might also determine in that process that it would be to your advantage to hire a private attorney. In any event to address what is likely your greatest concern, I do not see incarceration in your future based upon the information you have provided. Post no more details on the Internet and don't discuss it with anyone other than an attorney. Good luck to you.
Criminal Defense Attorney
Before you go into a criminal court you should have a criminal attorney represent you. If you cannot afford one then apply for a public defender.
Criminal Defense Attorney
Do not assume that what any investigator tells you is necessarily true. Perhaps you should have your own attorney speak with the investigator to see if it is possible to structure a resolution that avoids charges being filed.

I'm brand-new to WP. Am I totally stupid or what? I can't find spell check. I see bold, itallics, links, even the damn dictionary, but where/how do I get to spell check?
I'm brand-new to WP. Am I totally stupid or what? I can't find spell check. I see bold, itallics, links, even the damn dictionary, but where/how do I get to spell check?
A few spell check plugins can be found here:
coldforge.org is dead (there's a thread around on the matter).
However, you can still get that plugin (which is the one I use and love) here: http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/spell-checker/tags/1.18/
(I forget how to get that into a ZIP.)
"(I forget how to get that into a ZIP.)"
Don't you just love technology?
Is anyone getting an "error 8" with this plugin?
I cant seem to get it to work.
I am getting an error saying that it cannot find my dictionary...??
I use Firefox for my browser and use the Spellbound Extension. It allows me to spellcheck any text box (including the WordPress Write form) with a simple right click. It can be found at http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/
I use my brain - works better than any spellchecker. It allows me to use any word I have learned since first developing the ability to read. It also informs me when I attempt to spell a word I don't really know well enough and instructs me to look it up. I'm sure if you check, you'll find you have one, too. Scrap the spellchecker wannabes, dust off the old brainpan and exercise the contents a bit. Remember... A brain is a terrible thing to waste.
LMAO, dude. That's asking a lot, don't you think?
Any idea of spell checkers that work for WP2.03? None of the ones on Codex work. Even apwllbound is not compatible with my firefox 1.5
Corrector is working on WP 2 with Firefox 1.5 http://vanus01.net/?page_id=55
However, it is sometimes crashing my browser (on a Mac). You shall give it a try.

I'm not really interested in all the machinations of drama surrounding this fiscal cliff deal. It's a loser for the country if they make a deal and unfortunately I fear there are many more like Lindsey Graham that are willing to gladly capitulate. I'd rather go over this fiscal cliff and deal with it retroactively next year.
Either way, it's clear not enough of them are interested in solving the real fiscal cliff this country is headed toward. They are doing nothing but cutting out more paper dolls as America gets closer to the 'abyss'.
One of the most beautiful documentaries done on Jerusalem and its position in Biblical prophecy, click here for details.
So the bottom line is nothing will be done today or tomorrow that will actually help America. It's all politics just like Obama wanted and our weak Republican Party is playing the game to lose.
Considering many of you are more interested in this than I am, here's an open thread for you to discuss a deal that isn't going to help anything.

Beautiful job with this and love the detail on her ass heh Although i feel as if it should still be purple like the rest of her body and i feel as if her face should not be seen at or fully seen but nothing something in between
