Eminem covers the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
Eminem's promo time isn't finished just yet. The rapper nabbed another magazine cover, this time for Rolling Stone's December issue.
In the issue Eminem talks about channeling the Beastie Boys in his "Berzerk" single and how hip-hop saved his life. For now read exceprts of the interview below, and you'll be able to pick up a copy when it hits news stands on November 22nd.
On his ESPN blank stare:
"I knew we were about to show the 'Berzerk' video, so I was doing what I call the Berzerk face," he says. "The whole song to me feels like vintage Beastie Boys. And you know the 'Pass the Mic' video where Ad-Rock is making that face, kind of not looking the camera? I was doing my own version."
On the Beastie Boys:
When Paul's Boutique came out, I was one of the fans that didn't get it," he says. "It took me years to realize how fucking genius it is. I felt bad for sleeping on it."
"Obviously, yes, there was something about Licensed to Ill — you had the Zeppelin samples and their vibe. You had Run-DMC, who were so cool, with the attitude of 'Fuck you if you don't like us.' Same as the Beastie Boys. 'Fuck you. We fucking curse. We spit beer. We throw it on our fucking fans.' And obviously as they got older their views and things changed, as all of ours do. You can be mad at their shit for not sounding like their last shit, but if it did, then they didn't grow as artists. Same as me."
On learning from other rappers:
"Being a student of hip-hop in general, you take technical aspects from places," he says. "You may take a rhyme pattern or flow from Big Daddy Kane or Kool G Rap. But then you go to Tupac, and he made songs. His fucking songs felt like something — 'Holy shit! I want to fucking punch someone in the face when I put this CD in.' Biggie told stories. I wanted to do all that shit."

Untraceable (2008)
The MILF-tastic Diane Lane plays an Oregon FBI agent in the cyber security unit who gets a tip about an internet site where people are murdered (streamed live) with elaborate set-ups so that the more people that visit the site, the faster the victims die. Director Gregory Hoblit lets the violence gets too grisly, but the film is never dull and it's nice to see a straightforward film that doesn't twist itself into a pretzel in the final 10 minutes. The message is a dubious one, though: it criticizes the viewing public for watching and enjoying horrible things online, but didn't we just watch the same garbage in your movie? Now, I feel dirty. You should probably avoid this, unless you hate Tom Hanks and want to see his son Colin boil in sulfuric acid. C
Josh Hartnett is a sportswriter for a Denver newspaper stuck writing about second-rate boxing matches when he finds a chance to make the big-time. He meets an ex-boxer, a homeless, dread-locked Samuel L. Jackson, and decides to write a lengthy story about him for a magazine. After the article is published, Hartnett's world falls apart. The themes about your hero disappointing you and forgiving your fathers for any perceived mistakes are handled well by director Rod Lurie. But Jackson has become a parody of his former great self, struggling mightily with a raspy voice and forced mannerisms. Hartnett fails yet again to catch fire on-screen, playing every scene the same (remorse = excitement = adoration?). But there are some nice unexpected plot twists and some nice supporting turns by Alan Alda and David Paymer. It would have worked better with 2 different leads. C+
Once again, Morgan Freeman plays a gravitas-drenched, God-like character who others come to for advice and assistance. He plays a retiring college professor in this ensemble piece about friendship, love, and loss. There are teens in love, lesbians, adulterers, and cuckolds. The relationships between the characters are never believable or represent anything close to reality. Based on a book, the film wants to be about a human's capacity for love and compassion, but there are too many ridiculous situations for any of it to work. The cast, including Selma Blair, Fred Ward, Radha Mitchell, and Greg Kinnear are fine, which is expected from director Robert Benton - always more interested in story and actors than the mechanics of film. And that's OK when it's a good story (Billy Bathgate) or a great actor in a great role (Nobody's Fool). When you choose a story like this, anyone would go down the tubes. C-
In recent years, Jonathan Demme has turned to making documentaries. Here, he follows Jimmy Carter around in late 2006 during a tour for his book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. That inflammatory title manages to offend almost everyone he encounters. Accusations of plagiarism also plague Carter as he conducts interviews with media sycophants. The presidential archival footage provides the most interesting moments in the film. But Carter maintains his incredibly naïve worldview, still insisting that his visit to North Korea in 1994 was the right thing. And his crazy ideas about Hamas had me agreeing with everything Alan Dershowitz said. For his part, Demme mostly stays out of the way, though his decision to put rap music over montages of Carter walking is curious. Your opinion of Carter will directly reflect your opinion of the movie. C+
Francis Ford Coppola's first film in 10 years is a decidedly mixed bag. It has stunning imagery with some of the most beautiful visuals in Coppola's career. There is a great classical score by Osvaldo Golijov. There are terrific locations throughout Europe and Asia. And the sets and costumes are exquisitely recreated for the period (1938-1969). But, boy, is the messy story uninvolved and frequently lifeless. In 1938, a Romanian professor (Tim Roth) is struck by lightning and begins to get younger. He is brought back to society by a research physician (Bruno Ganz - Downfall) and becomes targeted by the Nazis. All the while Roth remembers the one love of his life who rejected him and died young. At the halfway point, the movie completely jumps off the rails when he travels to India to discover his girlfriend's past lives. The metaphysical story lends itself well to discussing the nature of time and man's inner compass/conscience. What would we do with immortality? What if those we loved got older and died? Coppola has sorta tried variations of this story and been sorta successful (Peggy Sue Got Married) and sorta not (Jack). Here, he uses devices he's never relied on before: characters talking directly into camera, cameras flipped 90 and 180 degrees, stream-of-consciousness dream sequences. But none of it is particularly necessary let alone interesting. Frustrating – all dressed up with nowhere to go. C+
Note: The film is based on a 1976 Romanian novel so it can be forgiven for its "clichéd" ending.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most issues encountered with the set up of a new television or sound bar can be addressed by reviewing your Owners Manual or by reviewing the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) noted below. If these resources do not resolve your inquiries, we encourage you to connect with a member of our customer service team by clicking the chat icon in the lower righthand corner of your screen.
Q: My television won't power on. What could be wrong?
A: Make sure your power cord is firmly plugged into both the back of the TV and the power outlet. Some models have a power switch on the side of the TV; make sure it is in the ON position. If you are trying to turn on your TV using the remote control, make sure you are using new batteries and that they are inserted properly. On universal remote controls, first press the TV button on remote control, and then press the POWER button.
Q: When I turn off my television, there is a white flash on the screen. Is this normal?
A: Yes, this is normal. That is the LCD backlight powering down.
Q: I only see a blue screen when I turn on the TV.
A: The incorrect Source has been selected. Press the SOURCE button to select the source you would like to use (cable, HDMI, etc.).
Q: I'm trying to set up my cable/satellite remote to work with my television. What is the manufacturer's code for my Element TV?
DirecTV: 10178
Time Warner Cable: 10178
Comcast: 10178
Cox Communications: 10178
Dish Network: 627, 659, or 505
Please refer to your corresponding remote control guide.
Q: I want to pair my universal remote to my Element TV. What are some common remote codes to try?
Q: I opened the box and an accessory was missing. What do I do?
A: Please call our Customer Support team at 844.842.3577 to receive a replacement part, or start a live chat by clicking the chat button in the lower righthand corner of your screen.
Q: How do I get to the TV channels I want?
A: Your new TV has to search for channels during the initial start-up phase. For more details, follow the Channel Programming/Auto Scan portion of the User Manual. If applicable, please consult with your cable or satellite provider as well.
Q: I have everything connected, but there is no picture or sound?
A: Make sure all cables are firmly connected into your television and your external AV sources. After you have made all connections, press the INPUT or SOURCE button on either the TV or the remote and choose the correct source. Make sure your cable, satellite, or set-top box is turned on. If these steps fail, try a different set of cables.
Q: I have sound with no picture.
A: Make sure all cables are firmly connected into your television and your external AV source. After you have made all connections, make sure the sound input matches the video input. If you are trying to view a TV station, switch to another station because some channels may be having broadcast difficulties. Check to make sure the brightness/contrast settings are correct by entering the main menu and adjusting.
Q: I have picture with no sound.
A: Make sure the television is not muted. Check all cables to ensure they are firmly connected into the TV and your external AV source. After you have done so, check to see that the video input matches the sound input. Increase the volume on either the remote control or TV. If you are trying to view a TV station, switch to another station because some channels may be having broadcast difficulties.
Q: I can't control my television with my current remote control.
A: Check to see that the television is still plugged in to the outlet. If you have a television with a universal remote, be sure to select the TV mode on the remote. If the remote still does not work, reset the remote by removing and reinserting the batteries – assuring the batteries are installed in the correct position. Then, press the power button down for 30 seconds. If the problem still exists, try replacing the batteries. If you have reset or changed the batteries in a universal remote control, you will need to reprogram the remote for the TV and other units.
Q: My picture is not filling the screen. I have black bars around my picture.
A: This is due to the aspect ratio. An increasing amount of digital TV programming and movies are presented in widescreen (16:9). Make sure your aspect ratio is set accordingly. To change the appearance of the screen press the ASPECT button and cycle through the options, selecting the one that best fits your TV.
Q: Why am I getting a black square in the center of my television screen?
A: The Closed Caption function is set in the "text" mode. To remove it, access Closed Caption through the MENU button and change the Mode setting from "text" to "off."
Q: On some channels I am getting another language or sometimes no sound at all.
A: That would indicate that the MTS mode on your unit is set to "SAP" mode. We suggest setting the MTS mode to either "stereo" or "mono." For further instruction, please see Audio Adjust or Multi-channel TV Sound (MTS) in your User manual.
Q: I lost my Manual, Quick Start Guide, Warranty Card, Remote Control Guide, or other material. Where can I find another one?
A: Product support materials for your TV can be downloaded on the Element's website. Click on the SUPPORT tab to access these materials.
Q: I currently receive digital cable from my cable company. Isn't that HDTV?
A: Many Cable TV companies use the term "digital cable" to refer to the digital compression which allows them to provide more analog channels. It does not necessarily mean they are providing an HDTV signal. Contact your service provider to learn more about HDTV programming packages.
Q: Do I need additional equipment to watch HDTV broadcasts on my HDTV TV?
A: In order to view over-the-air (OTA) HDTV broadcasts, you need to be within the reception area of a TV station broadcasting HDTV signals. Your cable or satellite provider may also offer HDTV channels as a part of their service.
While you have the HDTV source, please connect through the component ports (YCbCr) to get 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i Video Format. If you plug a regular antenna or standard cable directly to the coaxial (TV) port of the TV, you may not be able to display signals in HD. You may need to have a set-top box or high definition cable box to send the HD signal to the TV. For antenna or standard cable, connect the coaxial RF cable to the coaxial port on the set-top box and then connect the component video cables and the composite audio cables to the component and audio outputs on the set-top box and the component (YCbCr) and audio inputs on the TV.
Q: What if I currently subscribe to a digital satellite service provider?
A: All satellite service providers (DirecTV, Dish Network and Voom) have HDTV programming available. Contact your service provider to learn more about HDTV programming packages.
Q: What do interlace (1080i) and progressive (720p) mean?
A: The "i" in 1080i stands for interlaced and "p" in 720p stands for progressive. 1080i and 720p represent two different methods used to display HDTV video on a screen. When video is interlaced, a single video frame only draws every other line. If you numbered each horizontal line in a 1080i frame from 1 (as the top line) to 1080 (as the bottom line), each successive video frame alternates between drawing the odd-numbered lines and the even-numbered lines. Therefore, a display supporting a 1080i format may draw all of the odd-numbered lines (totaling 540 lines) in one frame, and then draw the 540 even-numbered lines in the next frame. This format is used by CBS and NBC.
A display supporting 720p format will sequentially draw all 720 lines in each frame. You will notice a difference in picture depending on whether the program is being shown using the progressive or interlaced method. ABC and FOX use this format. 4:3 is considered traditional TV aspect ratio. This is the screen's width compared to its height. 16:9 and 16:10 are considered widescreen, which are similar to a movie screen rather than a traditional 4:3 TV.
Q: Are LCD TVs subject to screen burn-in?
A: In rare situations, yes. This is also known as image persistence. In LCD TVs, it is less permanent than it would be in plasma TVs or CRTs. If you experience image persistence, turn off your TV for at least 15 minutes or until the image persistence has disappeared.
Q: What is the difference between an HDMI cable and a DVI cable?
A: An HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable carries both digital video and digital audio. It lets you connect any digital audio and video source, such as a DVD player or set-top box to any digital audio and video display device such as a digital television (DTV), with a single connecting cable. A DVI (Digital Visual Interface) cable carries digital video only. Consequently, to get both video and audio using a DVI cable, you would have to connect your digital source and digital display device with three cables: the DVI cable, and cables for the left and right audio channels. A simple adaptor lets you connect a DVI source to a HDMI display device.
At this point, relatively few digital source devices have HDMI out jacks. However, HDMI is supported by most leading electronics manufacturers, and as a result, HDMI will probably become the industry standard in the near future.
Q: Can I use RCA cables for the component video connections??
A: Yes. You can use RCA cables for component video connections. However, the quality of your picture will be somewhat better if you use the proper component cables.
IMPORTANT: Regardless of which cables you use, be careful to connect the color-coded outputs on your external AV source to the color-coded inputs on your TV. Meaning, connect the red component outputs to the red component inputs, connect the green component outputs to the green component inputs, and connect the blue component outputs to the blue component inputs.
NOTE: You will still need to connect the audio separately. Component connection is for video only.
Q: Why am I only receiving my local stations when I have cable?
A: Interference may be causing poor picture quality or static. To remedy this, you may try moving any infrared equipment away from the television. Make sure all cable connections are secure and that the cables are working correctly. If you are experiencing noise or ghosting during cable or satellite broadcasts, try switching to another TV station as some channels may be having broadcast difficulties.
Q: My remote control is not working or only works when I am close to the TV.
A: Make sure you are using new batteries and that they are inserted correctly. Your remote will operate up to 16 feet. away from the television, as well as up to 30 degrees from center in either direction. Make sure you are operating the remote within this range.
Q: I have connected an external AV source to my television and I get no picture and/or sound.
A: Make sure to connect the cables to the correct outputs on your external AV source and the inputs on your television. Press the INPUT or SOURCE button to select the input mode that corresponds to your connection to the external AV source. Ensure your external AV source is on. Check for the correct settings in the Audio Select menu on your TV.
Q: What if I don't use satellite and my local cable company doesn't offer HDTV programming?
A: All satellite service providers (DirecTV, Dish Network and Voom) have HDTV programming available. Contact your service provider to learn more about HDTV programming packages.
Q: How do I activate the Closed Caption feature?
A: Press the MENU button on the main unit or on the remote. Then, press the UP or DOWN buttons to select Setup menu. Press > or OK to enter. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the Closed Caption option. Use the < or >buttons to adjust the setting. Please be aware that CC for different apps (Netflix, etc.) are only available inside the app.
Q: How do I scan for channels?
A: Press the MENU button to display the main interface. Use the ARROWS to highlight TV Settings. Continue to use the ARROW buttons to cycle among the different options. Select Auto Scan once it is highlighted. Depending on the TV signal, the scanning process can take up to 10 minutes.
Q: How do I connect my Element Smart TV to wifi?
A: Press MENU to display main interface. Using the ARROW buttons, highlight TV Settings and press OK. Use the ARROW buttons to select Network to enter & adjust the option setting. Highlight WIFI and press OK to search available networks. Select the desired one and press OK. Enter the correct password and select Connect. When you first connect your Element TV to the network, a setup menu will pop up. You will need to confirm and hit Next to enable the interactive TV menu. Use the ARROW buttons to select Enable/Disable the interactive TV. Press OK to confirm.
Q: How do I download new applications to my Element Smart TV?
Roku TV: add new apps in Roku menu by adding corresponding channel in the Streaming Channels selection.
Amazon FireTV: add apps in the default Amazon Store by selecting Home followed by Apps.
Android TV: apps can be downloaded from Google Play Store.
Q: Why is the talk feature not hearing me on my Element Android TV?
- Check your network connection.
- Check your device set up.
- Try to move your Android TV device, router, and/or modem away from physical objects that could be blocking your Wi-Fi signal – especially closed cabinets or home entertainment centers.
- Restart your Android TV and network connections.
Q: What personal data do I have to give to access all the possible features on my Element Android TV?
A: All personal information will be clearly prompted before being collected and used. Different apps will have different needs as well as unique user agreements. Users can choose based on each app whether to agree or refuse use of personal data.
Q: What if I do not have a Gmail or Google account? Can I still use my Element Android TV?
A: If you do not have a Gmail or Google account you can still use the Android TV to watch cable/local television, as well as download and use apps that are not associated with Google or the Google Play Store. However, the Google Play Store, Google Play Movie, & TV Google Play Music can only be accessed with a Google account. Certain features – such as downloading apps from the Google Play Store – are therefore unavailable unless you are signed in with a Google account.
- Signing up for a Google account is quick and easy. Simply follow the link below for information on how to set up an account: https://accounts.google.com/signup
Q: How do I switch between different Google accounts / users on my Element Android TV?
A: You can switch Google accounts from Settings>Accounts. On the Accounts page, you can add or switch between Google accounts. You can also use this page to sync account data.
Q: Can I connect my iPhone to my Element Android TV, or is it only Android devices?
A: You can install the Android TV Remote App from the Google Play Store or the App Store. The Android TV Remote App will allow you to connect Android and iOS devices with your Android TV. However, the Remote App currently has limited functionality on iOS due to certain design restrictions such as the voice function not yet being available on iOS devices.
Q: How do I enable and disable TTS (text-to-speech) on my Element TV?
Below are the step-by-step instructions to enable or disable this feature:
- Press on your remote to open the main screen.
- Scroll up or down and select Settings.
- Press the right arrow button and select Accessibility.
- Press the right arrow button and select Voice Guide or Video Description.
- Press the right arrow button and select ON to enable or OFF to disable the text-to-speech or Video Description feature.
Your Element TV has a built-in Audio Guide, which includes Text-to-Speech and Video Description. Text-to-Speech, or TTS, is a form of speech synthesis that converts written text into a spoken voice output. This allows visually impaired people to listen to digital content that they are unable to read. Once this Text-to-Speech feature is activated, the Audio Guide will read out text, menu items, and other on-screen items. Video Description is audio narration added to a TV or movie soundtrack describing key visual elements that blind or visually impaired viewers might otherwise miss. Such elements include settings, scene changes, speaker identification, clothing, facial expressions, actions, and onscreen text. Once Video Description is activated, Audio Guide will describe key visual elements by audio narration.

Book Club and stuffed dates
This inviting table welcomed us this month at book club. My friends have the most lovely homes. We're reading and cooking our way through Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist.
This month's menu consisted of bacon wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates, Mexican grilled corn, dark chocolate sea sated toffee, enchiladas and a delicious guacamole. Those are my dates below. They were pretty yum. I ate a lot of them and also did some damage on the toffee.
The food is always great, and I love learning new cooking techniques, but the company is tremendous and the conversation is delightful. These gals are wise and funny and a breath of fresh air amidst a busy week.
Last month we ditched cooking together and ended up out to eat at a downtown sushi spot. The service was less than great and we ended up with discounted meal. We decided we are better cooks.
Here's how those yummy stuffed dates are made: I'll be making them again!
2 packages of dates (found in the produce section)
1 pack of bacon
8 oz. goat cheese (found in the specialty cheese case)
Slice the dates open, but not in half. Pull out the pit. It sort of looks like a pecan. Spoon in a little dip of the goat cheese. Wrap each in a half a strip of bacon. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. We flipped them at about 15 minutes. They can be served warm or room temperature, or as I discovered the next morning, cold from the fridge. I actually thought they were even better the next day.
Next month, we are cooking, eating and exchanging Christmas goodies.

win against misery,uncertainties and calamities. it takes a key to activate your faith. Activate your faith a 17 letter phrase
is stronger than the late Napoleon Hill 17 Principles of Success in his book think and grow rich. The Key to your
faith is found in 17 letters in Ecclesiates 3:1,"Season, Time, Purpose"
Faith is when God is involved in your affairs(Dan. 4:17;1 Cor. 3:7); Isa. 40:29; and also what
are the intentions(purpose and attitude{John 18:37;11 Cor. 9:7)}. From this profound illumination of the exegesis of faith
derives this mathematical concept of "PI"3.14 which is Phil 3:14; The scientific concept of EM2(Energy =Matter which is converted
into activation and conserved in resdistrubutive Continuity. Thus Energy(Encouragement)=Motivation with confidence and creativity(Psa.
27:3;1 Sam 30:6;Matt. 10:19). If we can apply these two principles and mathematics and science theologically and spiritually,
Christianity would be revitalized, and our world would be transformed.
The ability to tap into the faith dimension is accomplished
in five ways, but we will talk only about one of them today, that is the word "increase". Increase is the ability to sow(Gal.6:7;
to show-James 1:22-24;Jude 22; Flow-John 15:1-5; To Glow-Matt. 5:14-16 and to grow-11 Pet. 1:4-7.
When you tap into this faith dimension, your life will never be the
same. The late General Ulysses Grant who was poor, and a misfit drunkard who graduated from the bottom of his class at West
Point. During the Civil War the South was winning against the North primarily they were an army composed of Frontiersmen,
Mountain Boys and Swamp Foxes . Ulysses Grand who had bad luck all his life and terrible military strategies lost many
men in this war. However, one night he gave drinking up, asked to see te President Lincoln, came up with a battle stragegy
of Strategic Diversion, Conservation of Resources and this produced a new energy in the Army from the north which resulted
in victory of General Lee. General Lee who remembered Grant when he surrendered to him said, we should have never made fun
of you and gave him his sword. Lets remember this example of Faith(Matt. 5:45;Rom. 12:3) by General Grant who later became
President of the United States in 1869(Two Term) and General Lee died in 1870. Grant died in 1885. Noticed the Hezekiah
connection;he outlived Lee by 15 years. What is the purpose of this Life Teacheable Lesson ? Life which is our
Faith- Purpose and Time-Management Accountability and Decisions-Opportunities Actions. This all went in and
weighed on the outcome of the war which would determine future history of the United States or Confederate States. The
lesson about Ulysses S. Grant is a treatise on The race is not to the swift, battle to the strong, and the last shall be first,
and the first shall be last.(Eccl. 9:11;Matt.20:16) which is the Pinciple of "PI"-3.14 -"I press towards the mark of the high
calling in Christ Jesus(Phil.3:14). Often times we will find our lives weighed in the balance of life and which way will we
chose(Josh.24:15;Prov. 16:25).

A kickback boss is an enemy that appears in the multiplayer co-operative gametypes of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. They have a considerable amount of health and kickbacks, such as Militia Man, Cluster Bomb, Hammer Time, Mega Bomb, making them formidable opponents.
Chapter 4 - Syria Edit
Two kickback bosses appear in Syria, one of them guarding one of the many treasures that the player must place in order to advance. This boss is armed with Carpet Bomb, which allows him to throw three grenades at once. The other one, who appears before the Carpet Bomber, has a Cluster Bomb kickback, or Mega Bomb on easy. The Carpet Bomb kickback symbol appears above the boss's head until he is defeated.
Chapter 5 - Airport Edit
The first boss in Airport is armed with Mega Bomb. Later in the end you will fight against Zoran Lazarevic, Harry Flynn, and Eddy Raja, whom are equipped with Shottie and Sniper and Sniper respectively.
Kickbacks Edit
- Militia Man - These bosses will always use a M9.
- Carpet Bomb - These bosses will always carry a SAS-12.(M9 in Co-op arena on crushing)
- Cluster Bomb - These bosses will always use a SAS-12.(M9 in Co-op arena on crushing)
- Mega Bomb - A boss with an M9.
- Hammer Time - Some kickback bosses like in Borneo, Monastery and London will use M32-Hammer grenade launchers.
- Shottie - Lazarevic uses an SAS-12 with a laser sight.
- Sniper - Eddy uses a Tau Sniper while Flynn and Lieutenant Draza use a Dragon Sniper.
Co-op Arena Edit
Kickback Bosses appear in Co-op Arena as well, but only on Crushing difficulty. The bosses work exactly the same as they do in Adventure, but with much less health and they can be killed by pull downs or cover stealth kills, unlike Adventure. The kickback bosses give a considerably higher amount of money for killing them and you get a Gate Keeper medal whenever you kill one.
The bosses that appear in Arena are:
- Militia Man
- Carpet Bomb
- Cluster Bomb
Related medals Edit
- Killing a boss rewards the player with the Gate Keeper medal.
Tips & TricksEdit
- If you shoot off a kickback boss's helmet, you can melee him. But if he is using Mega Bomb grenades then you should probably get away fast because on death, he drops a Mega Bomb grenade (i.e. Airport Co-op Adventure).
- Don't ever kill a Cluster Bomb boss with melee, or else he will drop a Cluster Bomb and you'll end up dying.
- Zorskel, the armored soldier from Uncharted 2, makes a cameo appearance in Chapters 1 and 5 of Co-op Adventure as a Kickback Boss.
- Kickback bosses have better armor then standard armor soldiers. It will take you 3 Dragon Sniper shots to destroy his helmet, and 1 more shot to the head to kill him.
- It will take you 4 grenades to remove a kickback boss's armor.
- In Co-op Shade Survival, a Carpet Bomb boss will appear and he will throw three spheres of smokeless fire that will down you instantly if they make contact with you.

John Henry can't move the stones in the amphitheater he built in Flint Hill, but his latest play produced by the Stone Hill Theatrical Foundation will have an out-of-town encore on Nov. 7, Election Day, at the U.S. Capitol of all places. Given the play's subject and title — "Republic for Which We Stand" — the venue couldn't be more appropriate. In an interview with the newspaper's Walter Nicklin, Henry shares his thoughts on the play's timeliness.
How did a performance at the U.S. Capitol happen?
First, I want to acknowledge the generous grant that Stone Hill has received from RAAC. As for the U.S. Capitol performance, it wasn't easy. There were a lot of hurdles. To perform in the Congressional Auditorium at the new Capitol Visitor's Center, a representative or senator must reserve the space. In addition, the play must be related to pending legislation.
Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) has introduced a House Resolution drafted by the Committee for the Republic, of which I'm a founding board member. The resolution defines a presidential war as an impeachable offense. President Trump is currently running nine unconstitutional wars he inherited from previous administrations.
So your play is about today's "presidential wars?" I thought it was a history play?
The Greeks invented theater as a way to explore issues facing their citizens and their state. By contrast, entertainment seems to be the primary goal of modern theater. I founded the Stone Hill Theatrical Foundation to promote plays with a healthy balance of instruction and entertainment.
"Republic For Which We Stand" is set in the drawing room of Ben Franklin's Philadelphia home on the eve of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. I speak through the characters of Martha and George Washington, Dolly and James Madison, and Sarah and George Mason. As was typical drawing-room entertainment at the time — called closet drama — George Washington commissions three mini-plays to be performed as plays within a play.
What is the primary take-away you hope congressmen and others will learn from your play?
The architects of the Constitution rejected limitless presidential power to wage war. For the first and only time in history, the war power was entrusted to the legislature. That's what made the American Republic ultra-exceptional! In 227 years, Congress has declared war only five times in response to actual or perceived aggression against the United States.
Share, if you will, the names of all the Rappahannock residents with roles in the play.
Father Tuck Grinnell, Bill Walton, Hugh Hill, Pat Nicklin, Maeve Ciuba, Deverell Pedersen, Peter Stenner, Howard Coon, Bob Hurley and Lynn Sullivan.
All Rappahannock readers are invited to attend the U.S. Capitol performance. Admission is free. More information on Stone Hill and the Committee for the Republic can be found at: stonehilltheatricalfoundation.org and committeefortherepublic.us.

Publication Date: March 27, 2007 by Margaret K. McElderry Books
Summary: When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
My Thoughts
The book starts out with Clary and Simon going to a club and she sees people that no one else can see, called Shadowhunters. She witnesses them murdering a demon because they are demon hunters. The Shadowhunters also keep the other Downworlders, such as fairies, vampires, warlocks, etc. Then the book goes on to Clary learning about them and who she is.
I really enjoyed Clary and her character. One of the Shadowhunters that she meets is Jace. I really like Jace, he is a very strong and powerful character. But Jace and Clary's relationship is weird and gross. I felt like Simon was annoying and I really hope his character grows throughout the series.
The book was really exciting and keep my attention the whole time. I liked all the action and fighting throughout the book. The ending was insane and I can't wait to read the next book!!

Staff writer
A cracked line started a chain reaction of water woes in Goessel last week that lasted several days, and reminded several residents what they were thankful for.
"Late Sunday evening (Sept. 9) I got a call that we had a problem," city maintenance director Karen Dalke said. "The first line cracked because of dry ground shifting, we think. There really is no way to know."
Dalke called in a trenching crew Sept. 10 to evaluate the problem at the intersection of Church and Main. She shut off water service to the entire city on Monday as workers created a plan of action and gathered the necessary repair parts.
At 7 a.m. Sept. 11 Dalke and Will Kaufman barricaded off the problem area and began digging. They installed a shut off valve allowing the east side of the city to have water, but not the west side.
The job took longer than anyone expected, creating issues for some residents who were not sure when or if water service would be restored that night.
"At Bethesda where I work, we knew there wouldn't be water so we planned ahead and stored water for use in the kitchen," said Denise Woelk, who lives with her family on North Church Street. "At home we thought it might be on late in the afternoon, but then it was changed to 7 p.m. and then 10 p.m. We finally gave up waiting to take a bath and went to bed."
City Clerk Anita Goertzen said the reason water remained off until late Sept. 11 for some residents was because after the first break was fixed, several more problems erupted, literally.
"When they turned the water back on around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, the hammer pressure in the lines blew out several holes in the same line along Main Street, but this time in front of the Ratzlaff Building," she said. "The crew went back to work that night yet."
Water service from the fire station and west was off sporadically all day on Wednesday due to the repair work.
Those needing to use bathrooms or showers on Tuesday and Wednesday were invited to go to the Mennonite Heritage and Agriculture Grounds building by Jim and Connie Wiens who opened the facility.
Goertzen said she also opened up city building bathrooms and water fountains for those needing water during the repair time.
"It really wasn't that big of a deal for us," Woelk said. "It just made me realize how much I take for granted I can just turn on the faucet and have water whenever I want it.
Goertzen said the week's water woes made her appreciate the amenities of modern life.
"I would much rather have a lack of water than electricity," she said. "But I'd rather not be without either one."
Barricades remain in place along Goessel's Main Street on the Church Street corner, in front of the Ratzlaff Building and the post office on Main, and they will for some time, Goertzen said.
"People have to understand that the dirt moved around the new shut-off valves has to settle before we can pack it all up," she said. "It could be several more weeks before we can take down the barricades, so people need to make sure not to drive there."
Dalke said six new shut-off valves were installed so that in the future so many people will not need to be without water if there is a line break.
Goessel Junior High and High School students enjoyed a day off from classes Sept. 11 because of no water, but elementary students had school as usual. Both schools were in session Sept. 12.
Life continues as usual in Goessel, except that the barricades on the corner of Church Street and Main Street make the usual school bus and parents-picking-up-children turnaround a little more difficult.
"A majority of the people were very understanding of what needed to transpire to get this fixed," Goertzen said. "I think it made all of us appreciate just a little more what we often take for granted."

A couple of weekends ago, I had the pleasure of opening #edcampPSD at Greystone Centennial Middle School in Spruce Grove. While those who know me, understand it is easy for me to talk in front of groups, it was a little intimidating speaking in the infamous George Couros territory and having Discover Education guru Dean Shareski, lurking on the Twitter feed! I'm hoping that I was at least good enough to ensure that some future presentation won't be called, "Why Chris Smeaton sucks!" (Inside joke- Paige & George)
Since edcamps are structured for maximum conversation between participants on self selected topics, an opening should be relatively short with some key points. It should be more similar to a TED Talk than the often dreaded "death by PowerPoint." So my opening focused on the importance of events like Edcamps and why as teachers, we need to be always learning.
Edcamps speak to our inherent desire to always improve or hone our skills. Since they are typically held on Saturdays, when teachers should be home with family or doing their own personal business, there is a high level of commitment attached. But that commitment is also shared with intense autonomy. Participants vote with their shoes which allows for self directed opportunities. You discuss what you want to discuss; you learn what you want to learn. The Edcamp model supports the shift toward educators taking more ownership of their own professional development with the overarching goal of improved pedagogy and ultimately enhance student learning. Even the best school divisions will never be able to offer ALL to EVERYONE and so Edcamps fill a much needed void in professional learning.
Another important aspect of edcamps is professional dialogue and the sharing of ideas, best practices and even failures and fears. It is always amazing (but not surprising) at the wealth of knowledge shared when educators engage in professional dialogue. The depth of these conversations underpins the importance of collaboration in our schools. Education has become far too complex for any one individual and private practice should no longer be tolerated. The Edcamp mentality of sharing best practices, asking tough questions around pedagogy and mostly being engaged in continuous improvement should be commonplace in every staff room.
Finally, the Edcamp experience reminds all of us to be continual learners. Our education degree or the multitude of degrees achieved after, still do not allow ourselves as educators to be satisfied with simply being learned. Professionals seek to continually improve; for educators that means to constantly learn. Learning is not another initiative, it is something that we must always do. If not, then we will create a society so well defined by the following quote.
In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists- Eric Hoffer

Grilled Cheese with Spicy Pickles, Pepper Jack & Garlic Aioli
One of the reasons I make so many grilled cheese sandwiches is that they solve an essential cooking dilemma: what do I feed myself when there's not much around to eat? The behind-the-scenes truth about the various tasty fillings come from the fact that there are often condiments in the fridge that I think will pair well with melted cheese. (Not much doesn't.) Spicy pickles and pepper jack are a perfect match, even though they came together from hungry desperation.
So, delicious and gooey and indulgent as they may seem, grilled cheese sandwiches actually serve a boring function in my life: regular old sustenance. Not to undermine all their exuberant qualities.
When Big Girls, Small Kitchen began, reasons to cook were at the forefront of our minds–and reflected in our categories. Were we early twenty-somethings cooking for ourselves, for others, for potlucks, or for the fun of baking? The type of cooking done in each situation is slightly different, to be sure, and the dishes posted here reflected that in their serving size, time or energy required, and money spent.
As the site and I grew up, I expanded the categories to reflect some of the different reasons I was finding to cook. Dinners for two. Lots of brunches for friends. The category situation got out of hand as I experimented with different formats. So I'm here today to tell you that I still think reasons to cook are as good an organizational schema for a blog like this, and that I'm updating the archives and creating some slightly revised categories, ones that touch on single servings, packed lunches, snacks, sweets, party contributions, weeknight dinners, and projects. This batch covers more terrain than plain old breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I think they still stand up for those of you who are here because you want to make home cooking your main source of food.
To keep all those categories going, I'll be bringing in a few more contributors in the near future. (It seems like you've been enjoying Natalie's posts, so I'm really excited about this change!) As I've been pushing my career beyond the boundaries of this site, it means everything to me to have some help in the kitchen here.
And, in the spirit of spring cleaning and updates: I'm also planning on making a few functionality tweaks to the site soon. Is there anything you'd like to find here, or a way you'd like to use Big Girls, Small Kitchen? Please let me know in the comments!
For now, I offer you this incredibly delicious pickle grilled cheese. Enjoy!
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 small clove garlic, turned into paste with some salt
- 2 slices good bread, lightly toasted
- 2 ounces pepper jack cheese, sliced
- 1 small half sour pickle, preferably spicy, thinly sliced on the vertical into planks
- 1 tablespoon butter
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo and the minced garlic. Spread the bread with this "garlic aioli." Layer the cheese on the mayo, then top with the pickle planks. Layer on the second piece of bread.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat for 4 minutes. Add half of the butter, and when it melts, place the sandwich in the pan with a weight on top for best results. I use this Lodge weight, but you could try a second frying pan, or just press down occasionally with your spatula.
- Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the bread is golden and the cheese starts to melt. Lift the sandwich up, add another ½ tablespoon of butter to the pan, flip the sandwich, and cook about 5 minutes on the second side. Let rest for a moment, then cut in half and serve.

This morning I read in the NYTimes that OWS is planning two Springtime demonstrations: Feb 29th and May 1st. I checked in to the OWS website and couldn't find anything written about this. Announcements of these demonstrations should be EVERYWHERE! There should be a notification at the top of every page of OWS and related websites. There should also be easily accessable posters to download, print and distribute. A lot of the people I know think OWS is dead....

Since I continue to rely on others for ideas, I will 'borrow' from the old bard's Sonnet 26.
The worst part of running out of gas on a motorcycle is having to explain it to yourself. To others you will tell little white lies like 'the gauge was off, or 'my fuel computation routine malfunctioned' or 'there must be water in my fuel', But you know what really happened- burned out fuel caution light. Right….
Regret the thought-, to turn another road;
And stretch the liquid energy within!
But hence, perchance a lark will sing
And song will bring me to the pump with grin.
Tarred stone compressed for me to make headway;
As on black bladders I do roll-
RPM's of torque do pull me hence;
Spying stations flush doth my eye troll.
Cruel fate, that drives me on beyond the range
Computed swiftly on the white faced dial;
Forlorn the sputtering doth softly speak-

Today's cars, light trucks, and sport-utility vehicles are high-tech marvels with digital dashboards, oxygen sensors, electronic computers, unibody construction, and more. They run better, longer, and more efficiently than models of years past.
But when it comes to repairs, some things stay the same. The following tips should help you along the way:
Do your homework before taking your vehicle in for repairs or service.
When you think about it, you know your car better than anyone else. You drive it every day and know how it feels and sounds when everything is right. So don't ignore its warning signals.
Use all of your senses to inspect your car frequently. Check for:
Once you are at our location, communicate your findings.
Stay involved. . . Ask questions.
I love this store, the people are so friendly, if you ask a question Joey will answer in a Friendly manner, I noticed they were a lot of male customers, (I was told a long time ago by friend, if you see a lot of male customers in an auto shop then you know this is the one you need to take your car to) As silly as this statement sounds it's also true. But at Kirks I have total faith that my car will be treated well, and I always feel trust when leaving my car in good hands.
I've been to a lot of auto shops. None comes close to the kind of service you get from Kirk Brown.
I have trusted Kirk Brown with my auto service needs for over 20 years. They are thorough, informed about my Volvo, and do not make unnecessary repairs.
Always a good experience, fast and friendly service. Prices are very fair and you always get honest answers.
Excellent service, clear communication, very thorough.
Awesome. We took a car there we were considering buying and they checked it out for us. They did a very thorough job.
There service was excellent, they checked out my car found the problem. I will be recommending them to anyone I know, they were honest and upfront about the work I needed done.
Personable, hard-working, and efficient. So glad I have them. Highly recommend.
Overall a good job getting the Jeep to pass inspection, however 2 small issues did stop me giving top marks. 1) The vacuum line to the cabs air vent control had a filter put in (good) however it was put in backwards so none of the vents worked till I flipped it round the right way. 2) I assume to replace the Intake manifold the A/C compressor had to be moved/disconnected because someone for got to re-charge the system afterwards. Not a major problem I had a can of refrigerant in the garage however it did take a while to recharge the system and damn that can gets cold. Not to detract from the otherwise great job they did. I also appreciate the extra effort they went to when sourcing a used manifold online (to help keep the bill down). Needless to say I will be taking both the scion and the Jeep back for inspection next year
My car suddenly evacuated all of its coolant, thankfully from behind the radiator and not from the radiator itself. Thinking I had a simple punctured lower hose, but not having ramps to look & work on it myself, I took my car to Kirk Brown & Sons this afternoon after dumping some water in the reservoir. They were able to put it up immediately and diagnose the problem - obnoxiously, the heater core had blown. I was surprised when they offered me both reasonable solutions to the problem - replace the heater core or simply bypass it. Most places wouldn't have offered the latter solution, since it's much cheaper. Still, I opted for the former, since I wanted the heat to work in my car. Bill White, the gentleman I dealt with there, was very honest and straightforward, and gave me a fair price to replace the core and the connector hoses, which he was able to obtain today, getting my car back to me in just over four hours. I highly recommend this auto shop; in a sea of shady mechanics, I was duly impressed by the square deal and speedy turnaround I received here.
We have relied on them for years (nearly two decades). They always deliver excellent service with integrity. In addition, they are really great mechanics and diagnosticians. For example, we recently took our 2006 Toyota van to them when it began to shift roughly and display the "check engine" light. The local Toyota dealer read the OBD2 code and, in less than 30 minutes of "diagnostic" time, decided a $6500 transmission was needed. BIll and his colleagues were not convinced, and took the time to actually diagnose the problem, which turned out to be not the transmission, but rather a combination of a bad computer and weak signal from one of the sensors. They made the repairs, and they were spot on. The transmission was and is fine, and the problems went away.
The guys at Kirk Brown are awesome. It's a family business with a long, long history of serving Cotswold well. They're fair, honest, friendly and dependable. A real pleasure. I mean seriously, when was the last time you saw ANYTHING on Google with a 30/30 rating? The finest restaurants in town barely top 25. Kirk Brown deserves it. Don't go anywhere else.
This could be the best auto shop in Charlotte. The guys at Kirk and Sons make you feel like a welcome customer from your first visit. They do NOT try to oversell you on getting more work done than is necessary. I brought my car in with an accelerator sensor issue- Autozone quoted me $200 for the part alone to fix this issue. When I brought it in to Joey he took a look and decided that by simply cleaning the attached throttle box the sensor could function properly. A few hours later (they were slammed that day) I get a call from Joey that the throttle box had been cleaned and the car tested for 20 miles without incident. These guys are quick, professional, and are native English speakers which can help when trying to navigate the confusing world of auto repairs.
Great shop! They know how to truly repair cars.
Fantastic, knowledgeable people who you can TRUST! !!
My family and I have taken many vehicles to this shop. They are always kind and understanding and patient. They don't mind explaining what the problem is and they always let you know upfront what the cost is going to be. I would and will recommend them to anyone in need of an honest fair mechanic!
What a great shop!!! Fast, friendly, they know what they do, they fix nearly everything a dealer would do, but cheaper. They do not sneak around wrong and high prices. Had my car there for some repairs and I was always happy after that. Trustworthy!
I can't believe how lucky I got to have found a great place to service my car in the Charlotte area. Joey and his family have consistently done quality repairs on my car, flexible with time, and have given me rides back to my house instead of hanging around the shop for hours. Unfortunately, I've moved out of NC, but if I'm in town they will definitely be checking my car. A hidden gem of Charlotte!

High School Sports
No. 1 Byrnes comes calling Thursday
Midlands football fans are in for a rare treat tonight, if they care to take advantage of the opportunity.
The mighty Byrnes Rebels have been a fixture in Columbia in early December at the Weekend of Champions in the early portion of the 21st Century, but they have never played a regular season game in the Midlands. That all changes tonight when the USA Today Super 25 No. 1 team in the land brings its traveling show to Blythewood Stadium to take on the Ridge View Blazers.
For the uninformed, here are just a few things to know about the program that has redefined the term "excellence" in South Carolina football:
Byrnes went 15-0 and won the Class 4A Division I football title, crushing Summerville in the finale at Williams-Brice Stadium, for the first time last season after claiming four straight Division II championships between 2002 and 2005. This after Bobby Bentley, the architect of the dynasty, opted out for a new challenge as the headman at Presbyterian College.
Since the start of the 2002 season, the Rebels have won 84 times in 88 games, enjoying three perfect, 15-0 campaigns along the way. The only South Carolina team that has managed to beat Byrnes during the span is Gaffney, under former Batesburg-Leesville coach Phil Strickland. Gaffney topped the Rebels once in 2004, and swept a two-game set in 2006, ending the Will Korn era on a sour note in the playoff quarterfinals.
The trademark of the Byrnes dynasty has been the mastery of the spread offense. Potent seems somehow to be an inadequate word to describe the Rebels capacity for scoring points. The bottom line is Byrnes has scored 3,739 points over the last 88 games for an average yield of 42.49 points a game over the course of five-plus seasons. Those numbers underscore Gaffney's achievements vs. Byrnes. The Rebels never scored more than 15 points in any of the three losses to the Indians; they managed all of 38 points combined.
The Rebels defense, strong and very fast (if not physically big), gets little attention, but the unit has allowed an average of just 13.42 points a game during the same span.
OK, the Rebels bring some serious credentials and come in after rallying to beat North Gwinnett (Ga.) 36-21 last week at the Progressive Football Challenge in Suwanee, Ga. Byrnes pulled away with a 20-0 burst in the third quarter. It all began with an interception return for a touchdown by Justin Bright, followed by a four-play, 70-yard scoring drive that was strictly the work of junior running back Marcus Lattimore (179 yards rushing two TDs).
Lattimore ran for a single-season school record of 1,836 yards last season, caught 42 passes and scored a total of 30 touchdowns. That's just for starters. Junior quarterback Chas Dodd went 227-for-409 for 3,202 yards and 32 TDs in his first season as Korn's successor. Receivers Ricco Sanders and Nick Jones both return after both caught 58 passes last season. Jamie Dunaway had 37 knockdowns and 16 pancakes up front last year. On defense, seven starters return, including safety Bright who has committed to Florida State.
This is the kind of talent that is lining up against Ridge View tonight. The Blazers, as they say, have nothing to lose.

A very Happy Mothers Day to you all for yesterday. I hope you had a bit of spoiling like I did. Lemon Souffle Pancakes made by my husband, served in bed on a tray with a rose. I didn't leave that bed until about 11am which was fantastic! The girls spoilt me with lovely gifts made at kinder and bought at the School Mothers Day stall and Chloe read a very sweet Greek poem to me about what a lovely Mummy I am. I also received a gorgeous book which I am dying to get stuck into. She sounds like quite a character and the designs are just stunning.
I've got to say I needed that rest after Lucinda's party. It was exhausting but I really enjoyed it and Fairy Sarah was absolutely perfect.
She fluttered in and charmed everyone, big and little, with her gorgeous fairy dress and stunning wings and her wonderfully enchanting stories and magic. Then while I fed the hungry little people she did the most amazing face painting. And best of all, Lucinda loved her.
Lucinda asked for a Fairy Castle cake....
and looked resplendent in pink fairy frills.
A huge success! But I'm glad the next one's not until December....
PS. I have been tagged by Pip but will leave that for tomorrow when I can think of 7 riveting things to tell you about myself!!

Etelcharge is the first Web 2.0 payment application which leverages the convergence of landline telephony to broadband. Etelcharge's secure online payment system gives online members the ability to charge their online purchases directly to their phone bill. Etelcharge is a great tool for online merchants as it allows them to accept purchases from customers who do not have credit cards or banking relationships.
On June 17, 2008 Etelcharge announced a definitive agreement to acquire PaymentOne. The acquisition is targeted to close in July or August of 2008 if approved by the US Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. PaymentOne's majority shareholder is The Billing Resource , which has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The transaction value is approximately $13 million, along with the exchange of some Etelcharge stock options.
With the acquisition of PaymentOne, Etelcharge gets a company that has billed over $2.5 billion in client transactions through telco billings. PaymentOne also had annualized revenues of approximately $13 million. This acquisition now gives Etelcharge nationwide telco coverage and access to over 50 million subscribers. Etelcharge's chairman and CEO Rob Howe stated, "By combining our new Etelchage 3.0's Electronic Gift Cards and Social Networking with this acquisition, Etelcharge will have established the most versatile and powerful bill-through-phone-bill platform in the US."

Psalm 29 Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name; worship the LORD in holy splendor. 3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over mighty waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire. 8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the LORD causes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forest bare; and in his temple all say, "Glory!" 10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever. 11 May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace!
Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, 2 the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Acts 19:1-7 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul passed through the interior regions and came to Ephesus, where he found some disciples. 2 He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" They replied, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." 3 Then he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They answered, "Into John's baptism." 4 Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus." 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied-- 7 altogether there were about twelve of them.
Mark 1:1-11 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; 3 the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,'" 4 John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 He proclaimed, "The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. 8 I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. 11 And a voice came from heaven, "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased."

Online professional development helps teachers, studentsAugust 17th, 2010 - 6:45 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Aug 17 (ANI): A study on the impact of online professional development for educators has found that it is not only student who are gaining from it, but the teachers as well.
English and math teachers who took professional development courses online improved their instructional practices and boosted their subject knowledge scores, producing modest performance gains for their students.
The report is from the Technology and Assessment Study Collaborative, a unit of BC's Lynch School of Education and its Center for the Study of Testing, Evaluation and Educational Policy (CSTEEP).
It showed that as teacher performance comes under increased scrutiny, the findings point to online professional development as a powerful option to improve teacher quality.
"A series of online professional development courses that focus on specific content and target student learning needs can have positive effects on teacher knowledge and instructional practices," said Boston College Associate Professor of Education Laura O'Dwyer.
"The studies also show that teacher participation in online professional development can translate into improvements in targeted student outcomes," he stated.
The four studies were conducted in waves over a period of three years and involved approximately 330 teachers and 7,000 students across 13 states.
"As states are discussing the implications of common education standards proposed by the U.S. Department of Education, the findings from these four randomised trials suggest that online professional development may be a viable and cost effective means of improving teacher knowledge and ultimately student outcomes" O'Dwyer said.
The researchers found improvement in instructional practices and content knowledge across all groups of teachers in the subjects of fourth and seventh grade English and fifth and eighth grade mathematics, according to the team, which included O'Dwyer, Lynch School Associate Professor Michael Russell, and research associates Jessica Masters, Sheralyn Dash, Raquel Magidin De Kramer, and Andrea Humez.
Russell, the study director, said the findings show e-learning for educators should be looked at as an option to assisting teachers in remote settings and to help schools build capacity in subjects plagued by a shortage of highly qualified teachers.
"This set of studies included educators working in a variety of settings and demonstrates that on-line professional development is an effective approach for improving teaching and learning in remote areas and high-need schools," said Russell.
"Given the positive effects found across these studies, it is reasonable to expect that on-line professional development is an effective strategy for supporting teaching in difficult-to-staff content areas, like mathematics and science," he added.
The studies are part of the e-Learning for Educators Project, a 10-state initiative designed to expand each state's capacity to deliver high-quality online professional development that improves teacher quality and student achievement. (ANI)

I think that is not always true. Sometimes ruby nesting is logical. For example, when the ruby-base is kanji, ruby-text-1 is its reading (it's normal Japanese ruby usage), and ruby-text-2 is English word, the pair of ruby-base and ruby-text-1, Japanese word, is annotated by ruby-text-2, English word. See the following markup: <ruby class="with-English-translation"> <ruby>$BEl(B<rt>$B$H$&(B</rt>$BFn(B<rt>$B$J$s(B</rt></ruby> <rt>southeast</rt> </ruby> Seems logical markup, no? I admit the XHTML1.1 complex ruby may be more suitable for other cases, for example Japanese reading and Chinese reading for Chinese person name, in such case XHTML1.1 complex ruby will be better than ruby nesting. But I'm not sure it is really important for HTML5 users. -- $BB<>e(B $B??M:(B (MURAKAMI Shinyu) http://twitter.com/MurakamiShinyu Antenna House Formatter: http://www.antenna.co.jp/AHF/ http://www.antennahouse.comReceived on Thursday, 11 March 2010 03:07:18 UTC

Breakfast BIM with Vectorworks 19th June
With Summer approaching (at last) and the world of BIM ever changing and developing, we have decided to hold the first in a series of breakfast briefings to keep Vectorworks users aware of developments in the ever changing world of Open BIM.
Designed to fit in with your working day, the event starts at 8:30 and will last for no more than 2 hours. With more Vectorworks users moving towards Open BIM processes, the event will highlight efficiency savings to be made and how Open BIM brings with it opportunity for all. Sessions will cover Vectorworks Open BIM workflows including Energy Analysis, Vectorworks Service Select and Vectorworks in the mobile world.
The event is being held at the Swiss Church in Endell Street and is joint hosted with Lomas Davies. Lomas Davies provide an outsourced service to architects and other creative professionals who need, but don't have, in-house IT support. They can provide consultancy and support on all aspects of an integrated IT system. Hugh Davies and members of his team will be on hand to talk and answer questions throughout the morning.
For many, the only chance they get to update themselves on the world of Vectorworks is the annual conference, but we have decided that further opportunities such as this are vital in keeping up to date. In addition, whilst many people are aware of the financial advantage of Vectorworks Service Select with regard to upgrading, the other benefits are quite often overlooked and on our part, we need to make you more aware. Part of that involves the world of Vectorworks on mobile devices and, with Vectorworks Cloud Services and a presentation by Tuomas Holma of CadFaster, we will help you to understand your options.
To reserve your place now at this FREE event, call 0845 003 7066 or email email@example.com.
