Back in The Saddle......
Hi, my name is Carin and together with my mom (Carol) we run Margaret's Hope Chest--a quilting non-profit that strives to give HOPE and comfort to hurting people through the gift of a homemade quilt.
Outside of quilting, I have a busy family life. My husband and I have 6 amazing children. We adopted our two youngest daughters from China--Pearl in 2013, and Molly just last month!
Here is the most updated picture of our family, taken about 2 weeks ago:
And here I am with Pearl and Molly--also known as Double Trouble. (they are 4 months apart in age--Pearl will be 5 in October and Molly with be 5 in February)
Within weeks of writing the past post in January, I decided to start making custom quilts for people to help pay for some of our adoption costs. I have never really sold quilts before so this was a new arena for me. Here is my take on making custom quilts--a fun challenge but you will never be able to charge as much as they are worth. See this panda quilt?
I designed the whole thing. Fun, but a bit time consuming. It was for another adoptive family that met their daughter a few months before we met Molly.
I also made about 5 more between Februaury and May. Phew. It was exhausting but we paid all of the adoption fees and the goal was met.
It is now time to move back into VOLUNTEER quilting--my favorite kind!
So here is where we stand:
We have given away 2,310 quilts over the past 8 years!!!! I would estimate that since January we given away around 50 quilts. We will be giving away another 30 at a prison in late October. We have 24 quilts ready to be given to the mother's postpartum depression program----but we still need help!
We are looking for volunteers to make a quilt for the postpartum depression program at Pine Rest (Click underlined sentence for more information). I am described before what this program means to me personally-but since we are getting reaquinted here, I will share again briefly my own struggles with PPD.
After my 3rd and 4th pregnancies I experienced PPD and anxiety. It was not a great place to be. Without my husband staying home with me for 6 weeks, I am not sure I would have made it. Many of the ladies who attend this program do not have a husband or any other support person who can stay home and take care of them--and so this program is literally saving their lives and possibly the lives of their babies. We have heard over and over again that these quilts are a HUGE comfort to these moms---and a HUGE symbol of HOPE! If you are able--could you please sign up to make a quilt for a mom? Email me with the month that you can help and I will reply with the directions.
Basically---any size, bright cheerful colors and designs--something that shouts "You are going to make it---don't give up HOPE!"
*You can make the quilt and send it to us at any time before the assigned month*

Do you need more quilts for the prison giveaway or just for the depression group?

Congrats on your latest adoption! She's precious! I just love what you are doing for these people in need of HOPE. I made a quilt for you last February. I hope it made it there safely. I never saw you blog a pic of it, but I'm sure you get alot of quilts in and can't photograph them all. In any event, I hope to get another one made for you to donate to the PPD unit but not sure which month yet.
So sorry for the route cause of why this charity was created, but it's doing oh so many great things in return!
Keep up the great work!

The benefits of flaxseed oil in recent years, said a lot.It refers to those products, which have become especially popular among supporters of a healthy lifestyle, seeking to include in the diet of the most valuable food, and use of food additives instead of the usual natural products.But what do we know about the harm of linseed oil?
As it often happens, the rising popularity of flax oil have contributed to a greater extent not scientists, and members of the media and producers of organic products, which began to replicate the preliminary results of research, without going into details.
harmful to flaxseed oil?
This question can not be answered unequivocally.If you simply add flax oil to salads and other dishes, replacing them hydrogenated fats, it will not do anything but good.But the use of linseed oil as a dietary supplement causes some concern among experts.
For example, one can often hear that linseed oil is called a source of omega-3, which can be an alternative to fish oil.
The benefits of omega-3, it seems, no one disputes - the substance helps prevent certain cardiovascular diseases, strengthens the immune system, improves mood, andetc.Furthermore, the omega-3 can lead to irregular heart rate rhythm, and are therefore considered to be particularly useful in the various forms of arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation.The main source of omega-3 fish oil is Fish oil - so whether it is useful to think? , and it is best to get, obviously, from oily fish (salmon, herring, mackerel, and so on).The portions of fish weighing 90-100 grams contains about one gram of omega-3, and the RDA for a healthy person is 1-1.5 g;those who are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, can consume up to 5-7 grams of omega-3 per day.People who for whatever reason do not want or can not every day or at least 3-4 times a week to eat fish or take fish oil supplements are often recommended to use linseed oil.
Speaking about the benefits of omega-3, the scientists usually mean two forms - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).The flaxseed oil contains a third form of omega-3 plant origin - alpha linolevovaya acid.It is also in some other foods and oils, such as walnuts and soybean oil.One tablespoon of flaxseed oil contains about seven grams of omega-3, and it is considered one of the richest sources of unsaturated acids of this type.The problem is that in order to benefit from the good qualities attributed to omega-3, the body must convert alpha-linolenic acid to EPA or DHA.As a result, the body gets a tablespoon of about 700 mg of nutrients - it's a little less than the daily requirement, and much less seven milligrams, which often claim manufacturers of linseed oil, for promotional purposes.
All anything, but some people - usually those who do not like fish - makes flaxseed oil only source of omega-3 in their diets.And if a healthy person one or two tablespoons of oil may be enough to cover the daily requirement of EPA and DHA, for the people who are at increased risk for heart disease and for those who have already been identified heart disease, it is not enough.Doctors believe that linseed oil may be in addition to omega-3 obtained from fish oil, but it can not replace them.Relying on linseed oil, excluding fish from the diet, harmful and potentially dangerous.Experts also recommend not count on the use of linseed oil in the treatment of disorders such as attention deficit disorder attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - to help fidget? hyperactivity disorder, atherosclerosis, diabetes.Its effectiveness as a treatment for these diseases has not yet been proven.
However, linseed oil related and much more serious risks.Talking about what is harmful flaxseed oil, not to mention such a dangerous and quite a common disease such as cancer of the prostate.Contained therein alpha-linolenic acid is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer in healthy men, and also the threat of a serious deterioration in people who are already sick of this type of cancer.
Linseed oil is not recommended during the second and third trimester of pregnancy, as it increases the likelihood of premature birth.Before taking flaxseed oil How to take flaxseed oil: a course of treatment early in pregnancy, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
Nursing women should avoid eating flaxseed oil, as it is unclear how it affects the composition of breast milk and baby's health.
addition, linseed oil Linseed oil - the healing properties of a beautiful flower may increase the risk of bleeding, so it should not be consumed by people who are taking blood thinning medication (such as aspirin, naproxen, heparin, warfarin), andand those who will soon any surgery.

Courage, quick thinking lead to girl'srescue
We commend Wamego police officers Derek Gray and Jason Powell, Alma resident Michael Connelly and 17-year-old Aerial Hardie for rescuing 9-year-old Kayla Hardie from the rain-swollen Kansas River on Sunday afternoon.
All played integral roles in saving the young girl, who fell into the river while sitting beside it with her 17-year-old sister, Aerial. Aerial jumped in after her sister, and they were swept by the fast-moving current until they grabbed hold of a log near the K-99 bridge.
When the water continued to rise and threatened to engulf them, they let go of the log and were carried farther downstream. With Kayla about 20 feet from shore clinging to a tree branch near Pine Street, Aerial was able to swim to shore to look for help. Mr. Connelly, who was visiting his daughter and son-in-law, who live on Pine Street in Wamego, rushed to the river while his wife dialed 911.
When police arrived minutes later, they saw Mr. Connelly, 58, already in the water trying to help Kayla. When his efforts to throw a floatation device to the girl failed, Officer Gray — who was in his first week on the job — swam out to her. Officer Powell threw the floatation device to him, and Officer Powell and Mr. Connelly were able to pull Officer Gray and Kayla to shore. Kayla was out of the water within four minutes of the time police arrived, though it must have seemed like an eternity.
Not surprisingly, she was exhausted, having struggled to stay afloat in the angry river for about an hour and a half. But she was safe.
For that she can thank her sister, who risked her own life by jumping into the river to try to protect her, as well as Mr. Connelly and Wamego police offers Powell and Gray. Their quick thinking, collective courage and the officers' training ensured that this incident, which could so easily have ended tragically, had a happy ending instead.
None of them knew when they awoke Sunday the test that awaited them that afternoon. Thank God they were in a position to help a young girl in great peril and responded the way they did.

Unit 33 Bleach
Types of Bleaches Household chlorine bleach – a solution of chlorine in sodium hydroxide solution Cl 2(aq) + 2NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + NaOCl (aq) + H 2 O (l)
Chlorine bleach – active ingredient Active ingredient: sodium hypochlorite / hypochlorite ion
Types of Bleaches Sulphur dioxide / Sulphite industrial bleach Wet / moist SO 2 - a source of sulphite ions Moist SO 2 - a bleaching agent
How to obtain chlorine from brine ? Brine – sodium chloride (NaCl) solution By electrolysis of concentrated brine using inert electrodes (carbon / platinum) Chlorine gas is given out at one of the electrode (Which ?) (negative / positive electrode) Sodium hydroxide is formed as the by- product.
Electrolysis of brine wooden piece supported across wide tube brine partition to prevent short circuit rubber bands graphite electrodes 6 V small test tube + ee ee
Preparation of chlorine in laboratory By the action of dilute acid on bleaching solution. Chemical Equation ? Cl - (aq) + OCl - (aq) + 2H + (aq) Cl 2(g) + H 2 O (l) Precaution ? Should be carried out in the fume cupboard as chlorine gas is poisonous. Should be kept away from children and not to be stored together with acid (such as vinegar).
Physical Properties of Chlorine Gas A greenish-yellow gas with an irritating smell. A poisonous and acidic gas Slightly soluble in water and quite soluble in 1,1,1-trichloroethane (an organic solvent / a non-polar solvent). Cl 2(g) + H 2 O (l) HCl (aq) + HOCl (aq) Denser than air.
Chemical Properties of Chlorine Dissolves in water to form a yellowish –green solution – chlorine solution / water. 2 acids are formed – hydrochloric and hypochlorous acid. Cl 2(g) + H 2 O (l) HCl (aq) + HOCl (aq) Hypochlorous acid – unstable Decomposes by diffused sunlight to form hydrochloric acid and oxygen. 2HOCl (aq) 2HCl (aq) + O 2(g)
Bleaching action of chlorine Due to the oxidizing action of hypochlorite ion Hypochlorite in gives up oxygen to the coloured dye. OCl - (aq) + [dye] Cl - (aq) + [dye+O] Bleaching of chlorine – permanent Does not work well in acidic medium / solution. Why ?
Oxidizing action of chlorine Chlorine oxidizes others by gaining electrons. Cl 2 + 2e - 2Cl - Reacts with sulphur dioxide / sulphite ions Reacts with other halide ions (halogen displacement reaction)
Reaction with sodium sulphite / sulphur dioxide Yellowish green chlorine water / greenish yellow chlorine gas is decolorized / reduced by sulphur dioxide. Reddish brown bromine vapour / orange bromine water is decolorized. Cl 2 + 2e - 2Cl - SO 2 + 2H 2 O SO 4 2- + 4H + + 2e - SO 2 + Cl 2 + 2H 2 O 2HCl + H 2 SO 4
Halogen displacement reaction A stronger oxidizing agent can displace a weaker oxidizing agent from its aqueous salt solution. When yellowish green chlorine water is added into a colourless bromide solution, the solution turns orange / reddish brown. Cl 2(aq) + 2Br - (aq) 2Cl - (aq) + Br 2(aq) When shaken with 1,1,1-trichloroethane, an orange bottom oily organic layer is formed.
Halogen displacement reaction When chlorine water is added into colorless iodide solution, the solution turns dark brown. Cl 2(aq) + 2KI (aq) 2KCl (aq) + I 2(aq) When shaken with 1,1,1-trichloroethane, a violet / purple oily bottom organic layer is formed.
Test for chlorine gas Test with wet (moist) blue litmus paper. The wet blue litmus paper first turns red, and then quickly turns white (i.e., bleached by the hypochlorite ions).
Moist sulphur dioxide / sulphite bleach A mild bleaching agent. Drop a piece of wet coloured flower petal into a gas jar of sulphur dioxide. What do you see? The flower petal turns white after half an hour.
Bleaching action of sulphur dioxide Oxidation number of sulphur in sulphur dioxide ?? Is it a reducing agent / an oxidizing agent? Bleaching in steps: Dissolving in water to form sulphurous acid. SO 2(g) + H 2 O (l) H 2 SO 3(aq) As a source of sulphite ions H 2 SO 3(aq) 2H + (aq) + SO 3 2- (aq)
Bleaching action of sulphur dioxide Sulphite ions bleach by reduction (removing oxygen from the coloured dye). SO 3 2- (aq) + [dye – o] SO 4 2- (aq) + [dye] Not permanent Give one example ??
Reducing action of sulphur dioxide / sulphite ion Half equation for the oxidation of sulphur dioxide ? Half equation for the oxidation of sulphite ion ? SO 2 SO 4 2- ?? SO 3 2- SO 4 2- ?? SO 2 + 2H 2 O SO 4 2- + 4H + + 2e - SO 3 2- + H 2 O SO 4 2- + 2H + + 2e -
Common oxidizing agents react with sulphur dioxide ??? Acidified potassium permanganate Acidified potassium dichromate Halogen (bromine / chlorine)
Reaction with acidified potassium permangante What do you see? Purple acidified permanganate solution turns colourless. Equation ?? MnO 4 - + SO 2 ??? MnO 4 - + SO 3 2- ???
Reaction with acidified potassium dichromate What do you see?? Orange acidified dichromate solution turns green. What is the reduction product of dichromate ion ?? Equation ??
Reaction with bromine What do you see? Orange /reddish brown bromine water is decolorized by sulphite ion. Equation ??
Test for sulphur dioxide Put a piece of filter paper moistened with acidified potassium dichromate solution near a gas jar of sulphur dioxide. What do you see? Sulphur dioxide turns orange acidified potassium dichromate solution green.
Comparison of the bleaching action of sulphite & chlorine bleaches Sulphur dioxideChlorine Bleach bleach by reductionoxidation rate of bleaching slower and milderfaster and more vigorous Bleaching effect Not permanent Original colour of the bleached substance will be restored by the oxidation of air (eg., Paper turns yellow on standing in air) Permanent Bleaching effect can last for a longer time. Used to bleach More delicate materials, e.g.., silk, wool and paper. Can be used to whiten food such as flour and cheese. cotton, linen, and plant fibers
Sterilizing action of chlorine and sulphur dioxide Chlorine – as a germicide for killing germs / bacteria. For sterilizing drinking water and swimming pool water. Sulphur dioxide – used as preservatives for food such as jam and fruit juice.
Problems associated with the use of chlorine and sulphur dioxide Cause skin irritation – Avoid contact with skin and eyes. When discharging into rivers and streams and mixing with acids, toxic gases, chlorine and sulphur dioxide, will be given out. – causing water pollution. Chlorine water is photo-sensitive. Should be stored away from the sun.

My First Solo Quilt Finish! TADA!
4 comments:
Congratulations on your first quilt finish. It looks like lovely cuddly quilt and yes it does go perfectly in your lounge.
I have just bought a new sewing machine and I'm really pleased with it. It is a Janome Quilters companion. I had been recommended Janome by my sewing machine repair man who would definitely know his machines. Mine was actually secondhand but looks brand new plus it was less than a third of the new price. Good luck with your decision.I love it. It is minkee and that is hard to quilt with. I totally feel for you. I had uneven stitches and all sort of tension problems. I went a year without a machine so I could get my Bernina. Haven't regretted it one bit. Best of all, perfect tension. I would really test drive something and bring a quilt sandwich to check out the free motion yourself not the salesperson. I tried one that way and the machine had all sorts of issues. Didn't buy that brand at all. Happy with mine. Good luck finding one.

Road Injury Prevention & Litigation Journal
August 1, 1998
The husband of a motorist killed when an overhanging tree branch fell on her car sued
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The trial court decided in favor of the
motorist's estate. Affirming the decision, the appeals court determined it was the
DOT's responsibility to know about the hazard created by topping the tree and by
leaving a disproportionately large limb over the roadway. The appeals court agreed
this dangerous condition came within the real estate exception to the Commonwealth's
sovereign immunity.
August 1, 1998
A motorist pulled onto a highway shoulder and found it was too narrow for his truck.
When he tried to re-enter the highway, his tires caught on a steep drop-off at the edge
of the pavement; he received injuries in the resulting rollover. The motorist sued, and
the trial court concluded that the state had no duty to warn because it had no notice of
a dangerous condition. The appeals court reversed, finding a material issue of fact as
to whether the state created the dangerous condition, and thus had a duty to warn.
August 1, 1998
In an effort to alert drowsy or inattentive drivers when they drift onto the shoulder, a
number of states are testing "an innovative type of shoulder rumble strip called the
Sonic Nap Alert Pattern (SNAP)." Because raised strips had been found to create
problems for snowplows and service vehicles, Pennsylvania Turnpike engineers
"tested only narrow and recessed rumble strip patterns with varying lengths and depths
. . ." John J. Hickey, Jr. reported the findings of the Turnpike installation and testing.
This article summarizes his report. Results showed that SNAP reduced the number of
yearly drift-off-road (DOR) crashes by about 100, which was a 60 percent reduction."
August 1, 1998
Ejection during a crash increases the likelihood of fatalities and injuries. A recent
analysis of crash data focused on the factors influencing ejection in fatal crashes.
Factors studied included safety belt use, average speed, driver age, percentage of light
trucks involved in crashes, and rollover. John Winnicki reported on the results of this
study in "Analysis of Ejection in Fatal Crashes," a National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) Technical Report, published in November 1997. This is a
summary of information in that report.

He began his photography career as a socially committed documentary photographer in the New York Photo League in 1932. From 1936 to1940 he oversaw the Feature Group creating documentary photo-essays including Harlem Document, Dead End: The Bowery; Portrait of a Tenement, and St. Joseph's House: The Catholic Worker Movement.
In 1944 Siskind relinquished his documentary style in favor of abstract images of weathered walls, torn posters, bits of seaweed, fragments of graffiti and other detritus. He began concentrating on these cast-off subjects as an exercise in seeing. Like Harry Callahan, both photographers searched for a heightened, universal experience in ordinary life. Siskind also cultivated friendships with Abstract Expressionist painters Franz Kline, Barnett Newman, Adolph Gottlieb, and Mark Rothko, and began to exhibit with them at the Charles Egan Gallery.
In 1951 Harry Callahan invited Siskind to teach photography at the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Siskind taught and later ran the photography program at the ID for twenty years. In 1963 he helped found the Society for Photographic Education. Siskind and Callahan were reunited in 1971 when Siskind left the Institute of Design for the Rhode Island School of Design where Callahan was teaching. He continued to teach until his retirement in 1976.
During the 1950s architecture was an important photographic concern. One of his major projects was to document, the Adler and Sullivan buildings in Chicago. His primary subjects at this time were urban facades, graffiti, isolated figures, and the stone walls of Martha's Vineyard. The subjects of these graphic series of images resemble script, reflecting Siskind's interest in musical scores and poetry. Siskind's work combined Bauhaus experimentalism with his exploration of modernism's emphasis on significant form. The other important series from this period is the Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation (1953). This highly formal series of photographs depicts the dark shapes of divers suspended mid-leap against a blank white sky. Shot with a hand-held twin-lens reflex camera at the edge of Lake Michigan, the balance and conflict suggested by the series' title is evident in the divers' sublime contortions.
Siskind and Abstract Expressionist painter Franz Klein had been friends for years when Klein died in1962. Siskind began his homage in December 1972 on a car trip in Mexico, through Jalapa. Homage to Franz Kline is composed of six groups of work, each identified by the place and time in which they were shot and, despite overarching themes, each has a distinct character.
Siskind traveled widely, making multiple trips to Mexico and Italy, including a period spent in Rome during his 1966 Guggenheim Fellowship. Like experimental poetry and Abstract Expressionist painting, Siskind's work was intended to appeal to a relatively small audience of viewers open to its advanced ideas and the opportunities it offered for self reflection. Aaron Siskind died in Providence, Rhode Island on February 11, 1991 at the age of 87.
Aaron Siskind's archive is at the Center for Creative Photography, and his work is in major public collections such as, The Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery, the International Center for Photography, the Museum of Contemporary Photography the Smithsonian Institute as well many other museums in the U.S. and abroad.

How to make W3 Total Cache & plugin to play nicely together
1. Click on "Minify" menu item on the left side (probably under "Performance")
2. Find "Never minify the following JS files" text area
3. Add to the text area link to plugin JavaScript file cgmp.framework.min.js. For example:
http://YOUR-DOMAIN-NAME/wp-content/plugins/comprehensive-google-map-plugin/assets/js/cgmp.framework.min.js. You can obtain the link by inspecting the HTML source of your page where the map is, when W3 Total Cache is DISABLED (otherwise you would not find it since W3 Total Cache would cache it).Please make sure that the JS link is valid(!) before adding in the text area: paste it in the browser's address bar and try to load it. Do not guess.
Don't worry about decreasing performance of your page by thinking that you are increasing the page load time – the plugin's JS is ALREADY minified using Google's Closure Compiler. In other words, there is no point letting W3 Total Cache to minify ALREADY minified JS file. When the latter happens, the Google map plugin stops working.
4. Clear all cache

The Emptiness of Christ: Mahayana Christology
The Christology of the Western Church has, with few exceptions, developed in dialogue with the categories of Greek philosophy. As fruitful as the dialogue has been, however, it has created problems for our articulation of the doctrine of the Incarnation, and it is now problematical for those Christians who do not share the philosophical tradition of the West. This article begins the development of a Christology of emptiness, derived from one of the philosophical traditions of Buddhism.
Mahayana theology is a Christian theology which attempts to understand the Christian faith through philosophical concepts developed in Mahayana Buddhism.
World Cup of Theologians: Uruguay – Juan Luis Segundo
The World Cup of Theologians is a blog series that coincides with the 2014 World Cup Tournament. Each team in the round of 16 has an entry with the biography of a noteworthy theologian or leader from that same country.
Juan Luis Segundo (1925-1996) was a Jesuit priest and scholar who was instrumental with the introduction of liberation theology in Latin America and the application of the hermeneutic circle. His initial work, Liberation of Theology, raises issues of the Latin American context and its perspective, although he does so within the style of traditional Western theologians.
In many Western contexts, the term "ideology" has a negative connotation, which bleeds into the consideration of liberation theology, to which Segundo defines the relationship of ideology and faith, writing in Liberation of Theology,
"a system of goals and means that serve as a necessary backdrop for any human option or line of action", yet "Faith…is the total process to which [the human being] submits, a process of learning in and through ideologies how to create the ideologies necessary to handle new and unforeseen situations in history." As such, ideologies are derived from the particular context of a community and contribute to faith. But at no point can ideology supersede the role of faith, which encompasses a diverse range of idealized theories of life.
His writing on hermeneutics emphasized the role of the community in interpretation, rather than assuming that an individual is the driver of the interpretive process. This stood as a critique and addition to Schleiermacher's conception of the hermeneutic circle which would become a standard interpretive principle within liberation theology.
For more information about Segundo's writing, see the entry in the Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology.
Michael Shepherd is the editor of GlobalTheology.org. He is a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary and Hope International University in southern California, USA, where he lives with his wife and son.
Acodar Discipleship
Jesus had an affinity for agricultural metaphors. In reading through John's gospel, two stand out in particular. In chapter 15, Jesus says, "I am the true vine; my Father is the vineyard keeper…I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, then you will produce much fruit…My father is glorified when you produce much fruit and in this way prove that you are my disciples.
The ability to bear much fruit is elevated to be a primary marker of bringing glory to God. It is good that previously in chapter 12 that Jesus says how a disciple is able to bear much fruit. In chapter 12, Jesus says, "I assure you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it can only be a single seed. But if it dies, it bears much fruit".
The vine and branch metaphor in chapter 15 is significant as it speaks to the need to remain connected to the vine of Christ and exhibit the nature of his life. Missing from this interpretation, however, is the experience of the cross. In chapter 12, we can read foreshadowing of the cross and the approaching suffering and death of Christ. John presents this metaphor for the disciples to see their suffering and death as following in the pattern modeled by Christ.
The term acodar, in Spanish, conveys the combination of these two concepts. This is the verb for when a vine is bent or cut and then planted alongside the branch. The cutting grows to become a offshoot of the branch, which then grows its own branches. The true vine, put to death and buried in the ground, gives ways to new life and the multiplication of new branches which bear much fruit. We can understand our own discipleship by these same metaphors: we are simultaneously in the vine and being put to death as we identify with the cruciform call of Christ to die to ourselves, join him in his suffering, and by doing so bring life to the world around us.
Jesus' use of these metaphors, to live as extensions of the true vine yet to die in order to produce fruit, are not exclusive to each other. By utilizing acodar discipleship in imagining our response to the call of Christ, we can enter into new and deeper identification with the suffering death and resurrected new life in the kingdom of God.
What metaphors help you or your community understanding your life of faith?
Sudden Enlightenment, Christian Discipleship
Francis X. Clooney, SJ responds to a question posed following an interfaith event in which he shared his experiences within Hinduism: "Is enlightenment compatible with Christian faith?"
He writes:
I think there were two components to the question I was asked: First, is it compatible with Christian faith that someone have a sudden, radical change in life, a single mind- and life-altering experience, insight? Second, can a Christian who experiences enlightenment have that irreversible unitive experience, realizing all reality to be simply, entirely one?
The question of enlightenment turns out to be timely, in light of this Sunday's Gospel, the call of the first apostles in Mark 1.14-20. For is it not a kind of enlightenment scene? Consider what we hear: (more…)
Tibetan Christian Thangka Storytelling
Jesus' Life on Earth |
One year ago I wrote a post about Tibetan thangkas and mentioned therein a Christian ministry that was selling Christian thangkas, though at the time I didn't know anything more about how they were being used. In today's post, I am excited to provide some more information about them.
Back in 2001, some expatriate workers in the Himalayas puzzled over the repeated lack of effectiveness of more common approaches to reach Tibetan Buddhists for Christ, so they began to seek alternative ways of presenting the Gospel that would connect more directly with Tibetan Buddhists. They formed a group called The Tibetan Storytelling Project (TSP) to address this concern. The group eventually decided to produce an evangelistic DVD which would utilize traditional Tibetan art, songs, choreography and rhythmic speech in presenting the Gospel.
How Atheism Can Help Christians Avoid False Idols
"Atheists are hard at work cleansing our temple of idols. We should thank them"
So begins Paul Wallace's insightful (and provoking– think about who else notably "cleansed the temple"…) post about the service that atheist movements are doing to refine theological reflection. He distinguishes the conceptualization of God through philosophical theological reflection as idolatry, akin to worshiping the image of God that we have created. Worshiping the God of our projections, which is a sanctified way of worshiping ourselves.

Shame on Apple. That's right Shame on Apple. These silly games Apple plays is getting tiresome. I spent 12 ½ hours in line to get an iPhone 4 and said never ever again. So when the iPad 2 came out I didn't even attempt to get one on opening day. I did try the day after visiting two Best Buys and one Apple store. Of course no joy. But the most frustrating part is Apple has no online store inventory. How can a company as savvy and techy as Apple not have this basic feature? And then I noticed a trend, Best Buy and Target labeled it store pickup only, no online ordering. Then I see JR Music World has the same deal, store pickup only! This is classic Steve Jobs games. And then the icing on the cake, the phone. I tried calling two Apple stores, I did umpteen times and it's ring, ring, ring - No answer! I'm fed up. I don't want to play this game anymore. Apple wants your money and they make you work to spend it.
And what's up with the retailers like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, ATT and Verizon? They all got less than 10 per store? More games from our beloved Steve Jobs and company…..
So then today I took the bait – hook , line and sinker. I saw the rumor mill on Macrumors.com that Apple is having a 2nd launch day and is opening their stores early on March 15th. Of course I tried calling Apple but you know the story. So in the car I went, arrived at the Menlo Park store at 9am and was told they have not received any additional iPads since launch day. They told me to call them! Yeah that works…..

This engineer says in 1974, going to Dubai was like stepping into the past. That engineer is now senior construction manager for one of the largest construction teams in the Middle East and they're working on the largest commercial building a few miles away from what will be the tallest skyscraper. That building has fueled a building race in the Middle East. The building will be a mile high. Rumors are circulating that such a building will also be built in Saudi Arabia. The proposals are filling the bank accounts of engineers and architects. This analyst says tall buildings are popping up in the Gulf because there's a lot of oil money here and the ground space to build this high, unlike in North America or Europe. He says prestige is also involved, and Dubai is using the building to attract more economic attention. But how do you actually build such a large building? The construction manager says one way to counteract the wind towards the top of the building is by using a massive counterweight at the top. Then there's the problem of moving elevators up such a length.

255. SWFLgazer
In the time frame that Jedkins got 13 inches, I got 13 drops. |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:47 PM GMT on March 31, 2011
Torrential rains in excess of 40 inches (1.016 meters) deluged Thailand's Malay Peninsula this week, triggering floods that have killed at least 17 people. The floods submerged 61 major highways, affected 840,000 people, and forced the helicopter rescue of thousands of stranded tourists. Late March is usually a fairly dry time of year for Thailand, but near-record cold air settled in over the region this week, dropping temperatures to 5 - 10°C (9 - 18°F) below average. Heavy storms accompanied the cold air, and downpours with rainfall rates of up to 2 inches/hour affected the region for many days in a row. Sea surface temperatures of the waters surrounding the flood regions were near average, but were plenty warm enough to supply copious moisture to feed the storms. Flood recovery will slowed by additional moderately heavy rains of 3 - 5 inches expected to fall over the flooded region during the next week, according to the latest precipitation forecast from the GFS model.
Figure 1. The Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) analysis above was made using data that were calibrated using data from NASA's TRMM satellite. This analysis shows that rainfall for the past week over the Malay Peninsula was particularly extreme with totals of almost 1200 mm (~47 inches). TRMM satellite data revealed that rainfall in that area was frequently falling at a rate of over 50 mm/hr (~2 inches/hr). Image credit: NASA.

all this talk about hurricanes makes me want it to be hurricane season already. 2 months to go |
I heard the Shuttle had some Hail Damage on the ET Nose Skye..have you heard the same? |
Yay.. FPL got my power restored.. Lost it with a lightning strike. |
Comparing this year's SSTs to one of our analogs, 2008, we see that for the most part, this year's SSTs are relatively warmer throughout the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and southwestern Atlantic. The only spot I see just slightly cooler than 2008 in this year's SST graph is the western Caribbean, however I guess you can counterbalance that with the warmer eastern Caribbean visible in this year's SST graph. Looking towards the west, we see the continued collapse of the La Niña that was present this past season across the equatorial Pacific. |
Quoting weatherboy1992: Of course. Here are the SSTs for 2010 on July 15th Pretty nasty looking, yet we didn't reach our C storm until August last year. |
Quoting PalmBeachWeatherBoy: Ya it's surely taking its time. But it will happen, probably just after midnight or so. I dont wanna really exaggerate so I'm just gonna say that we might see some potentially heavy rainfall and gusty winds, MAYBE an isolated weak brief tornado or two, just maybe. |

Quoting TomTaylor: I'm of the opinion that there's leftover heat from last year that is providing a startup boost for this year. The fact that some of last year's record heat would carry over onto this spring was widely discussed last fall; and now it appears--or is at least possible--that that's exactly what has and is happening. |

The upwelling affect comes to mind, among others. It's a whole array of factors bud. You got it. Action: Quote | Ignore User Member Since: August 17, 2010 Posts: 20 Comments: 5040 hey bud here is the scoop stop with the poop The formation of tropical cyclones is the topic of extensive ongoing research and is still not fully understood. While six factors appear to be generally necessary, tropical cyclones may occasionally form without meeting all of the following conditions. In most situations, water temperatures of at least 26.5 °C (79.7 °F) are needed down to a depth of at least 50 metres (160 ft); waters of this temperature cause the overlying atmosphere to be unstable enough to sustain convection and thunderstorms. Another factor is rapid cooling with height, which allows the release of the heat of condensation that powers a tropical cyclone.High humidity is needed, especially in the lower-to-mid troposphere; when there is a great deal of moisture in the atmosphere, conditions are more favorable for disturbances to develop. Low amounts of wind shear are needed, as high shear is disruptive to the storm's circulation. Tropical cyclones generally need to form more than 555 kilometres (345 mi) or 5 degrees of latitude away from the equator, allowing the Coriolis effect to deflect winds blowing towards the low pressure center and creating a circulation. Lastly, a formative tropical cyclone needs a pre-existing system of disturbed weather, although without a circulation no cyclonic development will take place. would you like the requirements for a TCFA |
Quoting KEEPEROFTHEGATE:simply looking at that picture, one would have expected the 2010 Eastern Pacific season to be an active one. La Nina made sure that never happened, though. Just goes to show you why you shouldn't take too much care in the SSTs 3 months out from hurricane season. |
Quoting cat5hurricane:well do keep in mind that's just my guess |
Earth Scan Laboratory GOES Night Time SST/SSH Composite Imagery and Animations Project Director: Nan Walker GOES night time composite imagery and animation sequences are viewable in three areas * Gulf of Mexico * Central Gulf of Mexico * And, a large area encompassing the coastal region of Central America, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Atlantic The thermal composites are built using the "warmest pixel" approach from a sequence of night time imagery (obtained every 30 minutes) spanning about 10 hours. The pixel size is ~ 4km in size. The GOES-8 and 12 SSTs were computed with GVAR channel 2. The SST algorithms have been developed in the ESL with RMS errors < 0.5 C. (see Walker et. al. 2003) The Sea Surface Height (SSH) data were provided by Dr. Bob Leben, University of Colarado. The project is funded by the Minerals Management Service. Note : The most recent 8 days of GOES composite imagery is not published. Sea Surface Height measurements are valid only within the 200 meter bathymetry contour. |
Quoting Patrap: yep. on the sst side of things, upwelling was the first thing that came to mind when you posted the 26c isotherm depth pictures. The gulf is unusually warm at the surface right now, but a shift in the winds causing upwelling could easily reverse that |
Quoting cat5hurricane:I would assume there is a greater degree of confidence with climatology not from experience or any evidence, but simply because the NWS provides climatological outlooks for the US for 15 months out ( http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/ 90day/ look at the end, there is a forecast for April-May-June 2012). Meanwhile, hurricane predictions are never made this far out (that would be like predicting 2012 hurricane season right now). If there willing to make there predictions further out, I'd assume they have greater confidence. That's just my guess anyway. |
Now I'm headed back out to do some more damage surveying, thank God for my Chevy 4X4, my street has between 1 and 2 feet deep of water in it! Lots of water the deep all around here which is amazing for this area cause we have great drainage! |
Quoting RastaSteve: Hey man I gotta hand it to you for calling out the severe weather this week as well as saying Parts of Central Florida would get 10 inches this week! This is just amazing to see this rain. This is the heart of the dry season in Tampa Bay! Ive now had a whopping 8.36 inches of rain today! add that to the 0.73 last night and we've had 9.09 in the last 24 hours! We also had over 4.50 on Monday so this week we have had a little more than 13.00 inches here for the week! I have never seen rain like this in the dry season since the severe weather and flooding during the 97 98 El Nino, I was just a fresh 6 to 8 years old during those events.... This is even a big rain event in the heart of the wet season. We may have approached March rainfall records around here since its the dry season. |
compare year 2011/2010 |
SST's are variable and not the overall factor for cyclone FORMATION,,as is the depth OF THE 26c isotherm..it is the depth of the 26c or greater isotherm that SUSTAINS AND ALLOWS large HURRICANES TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY.,along with Limited shear and other Atmospheric variables as well. |
Quoting severstorm: That's more than I get on an average year here in San Diego, California |
Quoting cat5hurricane: Idk, I'm not the person to ask lol. |
Ok rain is over final total today 6.48 and for the week i had 12.73inches. Wow! Haven't seen this much rain in a week since 2004. Z-hills fl. |
Quoting Some1Has2BtheRookie: How do you know one of us did not find it? I do live in Florida you know. |
26C Isotherm Depth |
Quoting hurricaneben: Don't be so confident lol Dozens of dedicated meterologists take in dozens of factors to try and determine how many storms we will see in the year, and even still, they are not very accurate. That's why although they usually make specific projections on the number of named storms, canes, and majors, they also stick to terms like average, below average, well below average, above average, and well above average so that they can show you the large amount of uncertainty they have. |
Quoting Patrap:things were not so good right from the get go and its been nothing but smoke and mirrors ever since |

Mortal Kombat II
500 years ago, Shang Tsung was banished to the Earth Realm. With the aid of Goro he was to unbalance the furies and doom the planet to a chaotic existence. By seizing control of the shaolin tournament he tried to tip the scales of order towards chaos. Only seven warriors survived the battles and Shang Tsung's scheme would come to a violent end at the hands of Liu Kang. Facing execution for his failure and the apparent death of Goro, Tsung convinces Shao Kahn to grant him a second chance.. Shang Tsung's new plan is to lure his enemies to compete in the Outworld where they will meet certain death by Shao Kahn himself. Now, the Kombat continues...
Following his defeat to Liu Kang, Shang Tsung begs his master, Shao Kahn, to spare his life. He tells Shao Kahn that the invitation for Mortal Kombat cannot be turned down, and if they hold it in Outworld, the Earthrealm warriors must attend. Kahn agrees to this plan, and restores Tsung's youth. He extends the invitation to Raiden, who gathers his warriors and takes them into Outworld. The tournament is dangerous, as Shao Kahn has the home field advantage, and an Outworld victory will unbalance the furies and allow Outworld to subdue Earthrealm.

Mortal Kombat 3
Mortal Kombat 3 (MK3) is a fighting game developed by Midway Games and first released into arcades in 1995 as the third game in the Mortal Kombat series. As in the previous games, it has a cast of characters that players choose from and guide through a series of battles against other opponents. The game avoids the tournament storyline of its predecessors, as various warriors instead fight against the returning Shao Kahn, who has resurrected his bride Sindel and started an invasion of Earthrealm.
The third installment of Mortal Kombat retains the blood and gory attacks that defined the series. It introduces new types of the Fatality finishing moves, including Animalities. Other features new to the series were combos, predefined sequences used to perform a series of consecutive attacks. A "Run" button was also added, allowing players to briefly dash toward the opponent, as were "Kombat Kodes", an unlockable content system using various symbols that can be entered before two-player matches to achieve certain effects.
Some characters from the previous games returned and new characters were introduced into the series. Mortal Kombat 3 notably omitted popular characters from previous games, some of whom were added in an update, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, released later in 1995. The PC and home console-exclusive Mortal Kombat Trilogy (1996) added even more characters, as well as other new features.

Street Fighter II
A sequel to Street Fighter, Street Fighter II improved upon the many concepts introduced in the first game, including the use of command-based special moves and a six-button configuration, while offering players a selection of multiple playable characters, each with their own unique fighting style and special moves.
Street Fighter II is credited for starting the fighting game boom during the 1990s. Its success led to the production of several updated versions, each offering additional features and characters over previous versions, as well as many home versions. Some of the home versions of the Street Fighter II games have sold millions of copies, with the SNES port of the first Street Fighter II being Capcom's best-selling consumer game of all-time as of 2008.
Street Fighter II follows several of the conventions and rules already established by its original 1987 predecessor. The player engages opponents in one-on-one close quarter combat in a series of best-two-out-of-three matches. The objective of each round is to deplete the opponent's vitality before the timer runs out. If both opponents knock each other out at the same time or the timer runs out with both fighters having an equal amount of vitality left, a "double KO" or "draw game" is declared and additional rounds will be played until sudden death. In the first Street Fighter II, a match could last up to ten rounds if there was no clear winner; this was reduced to four rounds in Champion Edition and onward. If there is no clear winner by the end of the final round, then either the computer-controlled opponent will win by default in a single-player match or both fighters will lose in a 2-player match.
After every third match in the single player mode, the player will participate in a "bonus game" for additional points. The bonus games includes (in order) a car-breaking event; a barrel breaking bonus game where the barrels are dropped off from a conveyor belt above the player; and a drum-breaking bonus game where drums are flammable and piled over each other. The bonus games were removed from the arcade version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
Like in the original, the game's controls uses a configuration of an eight-directional joystick and six attack buttons. The player uses the joystick to jump, crouch and move the character towards or away from the opponent, as well as to guard the character from an opponent's attacks. There are three punch buttons and three kick buttons of differing strength and speed (Light, Medium and Heavy). The player can perform a variety of basic moves in any position, including grabbing/throwing attacks, which were not featured in the original Street Fighter. Like in the original, the player can perform special moves by inputting a combination of directional and button-based commands.
Street Fighter II differs from the original due to the selection of multiple playable characters, each with their distinct fighting styles and special moves. Additionally, the player can also "cancel" during animation by performing another move, allowing for a combination of several basic and special moves. Both of these features would be expanded upon in subsequent installments.

road biking
5 years agoThis is a paved trail that is good for riding road bikes or walking. The trail can be a bit crowded as it is only about as wide as one car. It's a very nice trail, and highly recommended. Flat for most of the way with the exception of a few bridges over busy roads (rt 100 for example). Plenty of places to park along the trail including Marley Station Mall which the trail passes directly behind. Extend your ride/walk around the BWI Marshal Airport (add 11+ miles) by connecting with the BWI Trail on the north end.
