Trillium written by: Friend of Frank, Jeff Lemire!
Trillium drawn by: Friend of Frank, Jeff Lemire!
Trillium created by: Friend of Frank, Jeff Lemire!
Trillium published by: Vertigo!
Trillium good!
It take Frank couple of readings, but Frank think he finally figure Trillium out; it both sequel and prequel to Robotech! In far away future, humans almost extinct and Frank having to salvage aliens for new parts. It interesting times, but humans worried about survival of species and no really appreciate circumstances. Human lady, Nika, looking for Trillium, newest evolution of Invid Flower Of Life, to help save human race from The Caul, sentient virus (whatever that is), who hunting humans all over galaxy! That most complex concept Frank ever have to explain. Frank go lie down for while to rest brain.
In future, 3797, Trillium used to make cure to The Caul, and humans want all Trillium they can get. Nika nice lady trying get natives of some planet to give humans flower, but time running out and Nika boss, Pohl, tell Nika that humans might have to take flower by force, much like Zor, betrayer of Invid!
Nika drive to tribe and write many words in journal, Frank skim this part, it boring! Exposition Bad! Nika find tribe of nice aliens and eat flower – SPOILERS – this may no be good idea! Nika then go on walk into Mayan looking pyramid and come out upside down looking at some weird white guy.
Rest of book hard for frank to read because it no right side up and go backwards! Best Frank can figure prequel to Robotech Saga, taking place after World War One (Frank remember when this no need numbering) and, Frank think, is story about crazy guy, William, and his friends finding weird stuff, in South America. This no turn out be good idea! William walk behind Mayan and find future lady, Nika, standing there looking confused.
Them two no alone in confusion!
Frank no all that bright, but Frank think Frank like book! It seem smart, too smart for Frank, but words and pictures help make book make some sense! Frank confident that what he no get Friend of Frank, Jeff Lemire, eventually explain!
Frank really like art! Frank think Lemire should draw more and should write/draw with other Friend of Frank, Matt Kindt, for most awesomest book ever made that Frank no have chance of understanding.
That it, Frank like book but hope Vertigo fix printing mistake so Frank no have to take off head and turn upside down to read!
Frank wonder how humans read it?

How to Help When Your Spouse Loses a Parent
The death of a parent is one of the hardest losses in life, and most of us will experience this pain during our lifetimes. When it's a spouse who has to cope with the grief of losing one of the most important people in his or her life, it can be hard to know how to help. Though the grieving process may last months or even years, these tips will help you comfort your spouse and bring the two of you closer together.
Make the arrangements
Immediately after your mother- or father-in-law dies, your spouse will likely be in shock or overwhelmed with emotions. Unfortunately, during this tough time, arrangements for your in-law's funeral have to be made. Volunteer to help in any way possible. If the responsibility is on your spouse as the next-of-kin, consider taking over all of the planning so he or she can have more time to grieve, but make sure to consult your spouse on any sentimental aspects of the service. If your in-law was sick for a long time, most of the arrangements may already be settled, but volunteering to tie up any loose ends can be a huge help.
Avoid clichés
It can be hard to find the right words to say to someone going through grief. Many people worry about offending the person or making them cry. As your spouse's support system, though, you have to avoid the clichés that are so often used but end up making the grieving person feel worse or more isolated. Cut these overused phrases out of your vocabulary:"I know how you feel.""Everything happens for a reason."
"It was just his time."
"Time heals all wounds."
Be there for your spouse
Being there for your spouse may be easier said than done since they may react in a way you don't completely understand. Since everyone deals with their grief differently, your spouse may unexpectedly act out in anger or sadness or pull away emotionally when you think he or she should be opening up. The best thing you can do is let him know that you are there for him, and then let him come to you if he wants to talk. Provide a listening ear, but don't try to offer advice or push him to move on before he's ready.
Follow your spouse's lead
This tip ties into the previous one, as being supportive means taking things at your spouse's pace and not forcing the grieving process to fit into any certain time frame. Some emotional phases might take months while others take a few days or are skipped over completely. Just be aware of how your spouse is dealing with the loss at any certain time and tailor your reaction to how they are feeling.
Take over household responsibilities
Sometimes, just handling the grief is all your spouse will be able to deal with. During these times, the best thing you can do is to offer practical help by taking care of some of the day-to-day responsibilities he normally handles. This could be anything from childcare to taking out the trash to running errands. Taking away some of the stress of daily chaos can keep your spouse from becoming overwhelmed and provide the necessary time to grieve. Just remember, if your spouse really wants to do one of the chores, be agreeable, as it might take his or her mind off of things.
Talk about the parent
You may feel you should avoid talking about your spouse's parent since doing so may be painful and upsetting. But recounting fond memories of and actively grieving for your in-law can help your spouse to move on. Don't push your spouse to discuss their parent before he or she is ready, but keep in mind that avoiding the subject can delay the acceptance of the loss. The memories may be bittersweet for your spouse, but talking about them will let him or her know you are thinking about your in-law too.

Power Poppy's June Bug Challenge
I loved Allison's challenge over on Power Poppy's blog for June. I used the Pure Prairie digital from Power Poppy and the scripture is also a digi from Power Poppy. Because this is a digital, I was able to make it the size I wanted it to be. This is a great advantage over the vinyl or rubber stamps, which I make use of often. I made this a CAS and added an embossed edge just a a final touch to the empty side of the card. I love how the colors pop from the white.

KANSAS CITY -- Former Royals administrator Bob Boone used to have a expressing about team meetings: 'Winners gain, losers meet.'
A players-only team conference the Royals held after a loss at Chicago, although, seems to have helped turn nonwinners into winners. At the time of of which conclave, theCorey Perry Jersey had lost seven out of eight game titles.
After that, they rolled away from 13 wins in Of sixteen games plus a five-game winning skills that carried into Saturday night's game against the Leaders.
The value of such meetings?
'It simply gets you refocused,' supervisor Ned Yost said. A lot of times, you actually [the manager] can have meetings and then they have meetings. Just like when a group of guys get together and focus on turning it up, they all relax and listen.'
Apparently, with experienced players speaking up, other team did http://www.mlbplayershop.com/MLB_TEAM/Colorado_Rockies.
Anything carry out in here, we do for any reason and I think that automobile us up, glass pitcher Danny Duffy said. 'We've always been pulling about the same end of the rope although we just needed to realize who we are -- and that's a really good team with a lot of talent and proven talent.'
Yost thought perhaps it was more of a coincidence than something else' but he knew something that had happened since in which meeting to account for far more victories.
We're hitting better In http://www.mlbplayershop.com/MLB_TEAM/Chicago_White_Sox. Yost said. 'There's no difference in their particular play; they were hustling, they were eliminating their butts. We're hitting better.'
CINCINNATI -- The sling is gone, an indication of Sean Marshall's slow-but-steady progress in the long process of ever coming back from shoulder surgery.
The left-handed alleviation pitcher spends about A single 1/2 to two hours in rehabilitation every day as he works to work through arthroscopic surgery on June Per day to clean out his quit shoulder.
'I can lift up,' the Reds lefty noted with http://www.mlbplayershop.com/MLB_TEAM/Cincinnati_Reds a smile before Cincinnati's video game against Cleveland on Thursday. 'Most in the pain is gone. I think I am ahead of schedule.'
Shoulder problems held Marshall, who turns 32 upon http://www.mlbplayershop.com/MLB_TEAM/Cleveland_Indians Aug. 30, to 12 1/3 innings last season. He upped that to 14 in 2010 before undergoing the procedure, including stem cell infusion designed to accelerate the healing process. He needs to be cleared for mild throwing early in October and to be ready for Spring Cam Fowler Jersey Training next year.
'I feel like the work [the surgeons] did along with the stem cell treatment worked really well for me,' he was quoted saying.
He takes heart from the recovery of Milwaukee left-hander Tom Gorzelanny, who had surgery to repair holes in his rotator cuff and labrum with December. Gorzelanny returned to the Systems in June and had the 0.69 ERA throughout 14 games going into Milwaukee's recreation against Los Angeles on Saturday.
'He's been getting great results,Inch said Marshall, who signed any three-year extension through next season following going 5-5 with a 2.Fifty one ERA over 73 online games in 2012, his first season in Cincinnati.
PHOENIX -- Reliever J.J. Putz can be working toward getting back into the D-backs' bullpen.
The 37-year-old right-hander hasn't already pitched since May 3 due to a forearm injury, nevertheless he will throw a simulated game on Friday.
'We'll just go after that,' Putz said.
Putz said their arm feels 'great' and that he might long toss without Frederik Andersen Jersey any agony.
'[Trainer Ken Crenshaw] put me on a pretty tough shoulder and hand workout the last three weeks, 2 days down and one day off,' Putz said. 'It feels stronger, however until you get up there and also face hitters, you don't truly know.
Before the injury, Putz had pitched in 13 games for the D-backs -- Ten innings - while giving up half a dozen earned Andrew Cogliano Jersey runs and strolling six with 12 strikeouts.
Putz has been successful in the past. In his four years with the D-backs, he has a 2.64 ERA in 156 2/3 innings.
The D-backs' bullpen has been holding down the fort without Putz. 4 relievers -- -- Oliver Perez, Evan Marshall, Joe Thatcher and Kaira Ziegler -- have ERAs below 3.05 entering Wednesday's action.
Marshall, who was called up when Putz was positioned on the disabled list, has satisfied early in his career.
The 6-foot-2 right-hander has provided up only one earned operate -- a go-ahead home run to Padres initial baseman Tommy Medica in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to your Padres -- since making his first appearance on May 6. Within 9 2/3 innings, he has 10 strikeouts.
'Marshall's also been great for us, boss Kirk Gibson said.

Tennis Court Renovation
Existing outdoor sport facilities in the UK need to be kept well maintained otherwise it will shorten the life of the playing surface and it has been known for a tennis court renovation to be needed within the first three years of a surface being constructed because of lack of proper maintenance.
A sport surface refurbishment job is done when the existing facility needs more than a basic clean and paint because the existing flooring is starting to crack if it is a macadam hard court or contaminated sand on a synthetic turf surfacing specification. It's important to tackle these issues as soon as possible to prevent them from getting worse and leading to the flooring needing a complete resurface.
Renovating Sports Surfaces
When synthetic turf courts get contaminated the dirty sand infill needs to be extracted and replaced with a new layer because otherwise porosity is affected on the court and the surface starts to get waterlogged. This problem occurs when the court isn't regularly brushed and cleaned so the sand infill gets compacted and contaminated with moss and algae, so it's important to clean the surface on a regular basis. The process of completely replacing the sand infill is called rejuvenation and involves extracting the dirty sand and putting in a clean application which creates much better playing qualities and a safe environment.
On hard surfaces sports court renovation is needed where the surfacing is starting to crack and develop fretting. The preferred method of repairing these areas is by installing a 2mm emerald stone mixed with polyurethane resin because this fills in the cracks well and when painted looks great. A new coating of anti slip acrylic paint can then be applied to the surface to enhance the performance qualities and create a safer surface for players. Click here to find out more about the tennis court painting that we can carry out – https://www.sportsandsafetysurfaces.co.uk/sports/tennis/painting/ and you can find out more details on our products and services.
Tennis Court Renovation Costs
The costs of the tennis court renovation depend on the extent of repairs needed and obviously the sizes, dimensions and current state of the sports surfacing plays a factor into the costs and prices to the works being carried out but quotes can easily be submitted if you send in some existing photos and area size. Something you need to bear in mind with the tennis court repair and painting costs is that the cheapest price isn't always the best solution and you should always look at 'best value' because why spend thousands on renovating the existing facility and have this done again in a few years time. You need to check that the renovation includes a thorough professional clean, repair, binder coat installed and non slip paint applied with line marking. We can even create a design with multi use sports line marking to turn your tennis court into an all purpose facility which can be used for other games and activities.
In this video above it outlines one of our recent projects which involved renovating a tennis court surface in Surrey. The macadam surfacing had become worn out and very dirty due to a lack of proper care, so we carried out a thorough clean with a pressure washer and applied a new coating of anti slip paint in a green two tone design with white line markings.
Contact Us Now
The best way of checking the 'best value' sport surface refurbishment costs is by asking for previous case studies, how long the contractor have been established. A big one is to credit check the company because you want to know if something does go wrong they will still be trading so you can contact them to resolve any issues. We have worked on many projects throughout the UK for schools, leisure centres and individuals to install and maintain sports facilities. Our team always offer high quality services and ensure that every clients gets what they want.

As many times as journalists, politicians (including the vice president), and even the Department of Homeland Security have called conservatives terrorists in the last two years, it is now more urgent than ever for conservatives to rethink their support for the vast and growing "national security" state and the systematic erosion of America's civil liberties, due process, and rule of law.
After 9-11 Americans understandably wanted to be sure their country was safe. Conservatives were willing to maybe give up just a few liberties for security, especially if it was only the terrorists' liberties. So they didn't examine bills like the Patriot Act too closely or ask too many questions.
Usually quick to point out and denounce violations of the Constitution penned by our Founding Fathers, conservatives hoping for security allowed the government to run roughshod over various amendments of the Constitution as it built its vast and increasingly unchecked national security apparatus.
But it would be a major blunder for conservatives to miss the significance of the alarming number of times they have been called terrorists in recent years, both metaphorically as well as quiet literally and in all earnestness. I am not making this up:
In the very earliest days of the Obama Administration, the Department of Homeland Security produced two separate memos profiling conservatives as potential terrorist threats and circulated them to state police departments.
The first of these, dated February 20, 2009, was entitled The Modern Militia Movement, and advised state police that potential domestic terrorists could be identified by bumper stickers or activism in favor of limited government, state sovereignty, many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, the pro-life movement, abolishing the income tax, withdrawing from the United Nations, or even the presidential candidacy of Congressman Ron Paul!
As a conservative do any of the items in that list describe you? The Department of Homeland Security-- that is-- your government, said that this could be an indicator that you are a terrorist. After the document was published by Wikileaks in March 2009, outrage over its contents lead to the report being scrapped and official letters of apology were sent to Ron Paul among other peaceful political candidates falsely associated with terrorism.
But the following month, a new DHS memo surfaced, entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." The report again warned that right-wing terrorists could be identified by their support for limited government, state sovereignty, the pro-life movement, stricter immigration laws, the Second Amendment right to bear arms, or even their opposition to the policies of the Obama Administration.
This memo went a step further and said that U.S. military veterans returning from their service in the Middle East pose a terrorist threat and would be likely targets for recruitment by right-wing extremist groups. Page seven of the memo actually said:
"...rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence."
Have you or anyone you know served overseas in our nation's military? The Department of Homeland Security actually insists that our brave veterans are potential terrorist threats. And there would be no apology and retraction of this second memo. As the memo's publication stirred up more outrage from conservatives, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said she had been briefed about the report before its release, and that she stands by it.
The timing and language of the memos are not a mere coincidence. Without saying so explicitly, there can be no doubting that these memos were describing members of the conservative Tea Party movement and its opposition to an out-of-control federal government. In Obama's America, supporting a peaceful protest movement like the Tea Party makes you automatically suspect as a potential terrorist.
Fast-forward to January of 2011, when a gunman in Arizona murdered six people and critically wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) in a tragic shooting massacre, and Democrats in the media reflexively rushed to blame the Tea Party for inciting the violence with vitriolic rhetoric.
Within hours, before any clear facts had emerged, progressive bloggers and commentators, including New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, just knew that the shooter had to be a Tea Party sympathizer. Krugman blamed conservatives for the attack, accusing them of fomenting "a climate of hate."
As it turned out, the Democrats were wrong. The gunman turned out not to be a conservative, a Republican, nor a Tea Party supporter. His writings indicated if anything, a sympathy for progressive politics, but most of all, simply the deranged mind of a clinically insane young man.
But the progressives-- who like to style themselves as level-headed, unprejudiced, critical thinkers-- rushed to presume the terrorist was a conservative Tea Party member. Such is their view of conservatives. In their minds conservatives are unhinged, violent terrorists capable of murdering their fellow Americans.
In recent days, during the heated debt ceiling debate, the association of conservatives with terrorism rose to a fever pitch. The day after the debt ceiling deal in Congress, I documented the sheer volume of these outrageous associations being made by journalists at top newspapers and even high-ranking Democrats, including Vice President Joe Biden.
Multiple Democratic sources reported hearing the word used by the vice president and several Democratic congressmen in a closed door meeting on the debt ceiling. During the meeting, Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA) said:
"We have negotiated with terrorists. This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money... "the Tea Party acted like terrorists in threatening to blow up the economy."
After multiple House Democrats agreed, Vice President Joe Biden conceded the validity of their treacherous characterization, saying: "They have acted like terrorists." Three days before The Politico reported these politicians' slanderous words, one of its own opinion columnists wrote a piece entitled "The Tea Party's Terrorist Tactics," opining:
"It has become commonplace to call the tea party faction in the House 'hostage takers.' But they have now become full-blown terrorists," adding that, "Terrorism is a tough term, but, unfortunately, it describes tea party tactics precisely."
And on the very day that The Politico broke the story about the House Democrats and vice president, a New York Times columnist published a piece entitled "The Tea Party's War on America," which begins:
"You know what they say: Never negotiate with terrorists. It only encourages them. These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people... Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that's what it took."
This is what conservatives are up against. Mainstream journalists are accusing them of terrorism. Top Democrats, including the vice president, are accusing them of terrorism. Most seriously, the Department of Homeland Security has circulated two memos (that we know of) profiling them as potential terrorists for such "suspicious" behavior as complaining about high taxes!
It may have seemed prudent to sacrifice a few liberties for the sake of security when they were just the terrorists' liberties, but at this point, conservatives should understand that in supporting the unchecked powers of the national security state, they have blundered right into giving away their own liberties and security: because as I have meticulously documented and proven here, it is increasingly they who have been called the terrorists.
This is why they should have never forgotten (or willfully ignored) that famous quotation from our Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin, who said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." This is why Tea Party Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is so perceptive in his opposition to the PATRIOT Act and other federal violations of the Constitution in the name of security.
Can there be any more doubt that the gravest threat to both your liberty and security is the unchecked power of the federal government? Could it be any more clear that when conservatives allowed President Bush to play fast and loose with the civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution in his pursuit of terrorists, that they had blundered into a trap of their own making? That it is now patriotic conservatives who are categorized by journalists, politicians, and DHS bureaucrats as "terrorists?"
Conservatives have unwittingly created a class of people for whom the law and its protections do not apply, and tragically they are now being relegated to that very class of people. That is the end game in all of this: the eventual relegation of all Americans to that class, the expansion of extraordinary police state powers to encompass every citizen and every aspect of their life in what was formerly a constitutional republic.
And that is how the America-haters, the socialists, the radicals have smuggled in their all-powerful state and stripped us of all the liberties our ancestors died to preserve. With the unwitting help of conservatives, the Constitution and the liberties it guarantees are being taken from all of us.
We're all terrorists now.

"A bruschetta is a kind of open sandwich and it's probably where the idea for cheese on toast originally came from. It's normally made from a large loaf of sourdough natural yeast bread, which is a dark grey colour and has a higher water content than usual in the dough. It also has a thick crust and, because of this, moisture is retained in the bread, meaning it can be used up to a week after purchasing. Have a look round a farmers' market or in a good supermarket and you should be able to find some. If you can't, a good-quality round cottage-style loaf will give you good results.

2 handfuls nice mixed ripe tomatoes
1 small bunch fresh basil, leaves picked

MethodThe bread is best sliced 1cm thick and toasted on a barbecue, but it can also be done in a griddle pan for ease at home. After that it should be lightly rubbed a couple of times with a cut clove of garlic, then drizzled with some good extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. The toppings can be as humble or as luxurious as you like, from chopped herbs or a squashed tomato with basil, to marinated vegetables or beautiful cheeses, to lovely flaked crabmeat. The only rule is that whatever goes on top of a bruschetta should be nice and fresh and cooked with care.
Make sure your tomatoes are really ripe when making this topping. Give them a wash, remove their cores and carefully squeeze out the seeds. Place in a bowl, tear in the basil, season with salt and pepper, then toss with a good glug of olive oil and a good swig of vinegar to balance the flavours to your taste. You can serve the tomatoes either chunky or finely chopped, or you can scrunch them between your fingers before putting them on your basic bruschette – really tasty".

Let's rip off the band-aid and talk about pain for a moment.
It's established that people are more motivated to avoid pain than they are to achieve pleasure. In the sales process, identifying a prospect's pain is always the first step.
What does your brand know about its customers' most pressing needs? Many organizations have multiple types of customers that each have different desires. For each segment of stakeholders, you need to know what they need.
This sounds simple, but is often difficult for organizations that have existed for a long time. It is common to see an association or nonprofit with limited resources settle into a routine and not adapt as change rapidly happens.
The result is that the needs of customers change, but the service offerings of the brand remain stagnant.
As you assess your brand's fitness, make a list of each customer type you serve. Then, list each of their needs.
Are you meeting those needs? If not, it is time to adapt and innovate!
How fit is your brand? Let's connect and find out.

It was a good day at CFB! In July, I maxed out push press at 68″#. Today, I used 65# for 5×3!
10:53 on the wod with 15# dbs and 3xs singles. Thanks, Catherine, (Kathryn?) for the push and encouragement.
Happy New Year, everybody. PLEASE be SMART and SAFE!!! (Mama Hen)
I kind of like push press these days. I definitely prefer it more than thrusters or the press.
Presses are like those dead hang pull-ups. They build your strength. In "every-day movement" I think we'd actually use everything we have.

Federal Stimulus Money
Two projects that are sort of near where I live will receive federal stimulus money shortly. One is a stretch of highway that was build over underground mines that needs reinforcements. The other is a neutrino detector, which is actually a big hole in the ground filled with scientific instruments. Besides the construction workers, I can't help but wonder who will be working there in the future, as we need more people making babies to help our our school district. We already have an underground http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/soudan_underground_mine/physicslab.html located at the Soudan Underground Mine State Park. I've been down in the mine, 1/2 mile below the surface, four times. It was a very exciting and educational trip, down in the elevator, crosswise in the train car for 3/4 mile. Now a visitor can also visit the physics lab.
Since we can also use the tourist dollars, you are all invited to our area!

Photos from the flooding in Fargo/Moorhead
I can only imagine how miserable the volunteers must be, filling and stacking the sandbags. The weather where I live has been miserable: cold, wet, windy. I'm only "feeling" that by looking out the windows these last few days. It is the kind of weather that makes one want a winter place in Arizona. The area along the Red River is flat as a pancake, so the wind would feel much stronger. You can tell from the series of photos that the weather got colder during this time because the ice was forming. The Red River has flooded before, but they aren't used to it flooding during weather that also produces ice.
The river is projected to reach 43 feet by Saturday. I haven't been able to figure out what level they are measuring from, but flood stage is about 22 feet, and 43 feet is much taller than a two story house.
God Bless those volunteers!

My friend just emailed me to say that she will shortly be unemployed. She does healthcare for children…I won't say what exactly. That is supposed to be a field that is immune from the recession. Yeah right. Her employer claims that there is another agency that does the same work, but, of course, the people in her office would know if that were so. It isn't. She is in a small enough city that if there were such an agency, they would all know each other. They are suspicious that the work will now be foisted onto the school districts, like they can stand to add more to their workload. There is no safety net for these children.
I certainly understand budget tightening during this time of tight budgets, but let's be honest about what is happening. Our governor has used his position to have "no new taxes" during his time in office. That has meant using up the reserves and pushing services onto lower levels of government, i.e. increasing the property taxes, because services have to happen in cities and towns. Well, now the towns are laying off the police officers and he is criticizing this.
This is what happens when a certain political party puts out the propaganda that paying taxes isn't patriotic.

TRANS* groups say they are looking forward to meeting with Australia's peak sporting bodies after a landmark anti-homophobia initiative was launched last week.
The framework excludes trans* people stating there were "important differences" between gender identity and intersex issues and issues affecting the LGB community.
However, the document says consultation with trans* groups "will take place to ensure that [the] policy suitably protects such people and meets international best standards."
There is no timeline for when this consultation will take place.
Gender rights group A Gender Agenda said they had not been contacted by the framework's developers or any of the sporting codes.
Executive director Samuel Rutherford told the Star Observer that the framework was a "great project", but he would have preferred trans* issues to have been included from the get go.
"It is always disappointing to see gender diversity and intersex issues excluded from any anti-discrimination initiative, especially when [trans*] issues are already even more invisible [than] those of gays and lesbians," Rutherford said.
Nevertheless, he said they would welcome discussion with sporting bodies, noting the group were heavily involved with the Play by the Rules initiative that aims to ensure fair behaviour in grassroots sports.
"There are trans* people who would like to participate in sports and a concerted effort on the part of government and sporting bodies to include them will be a huge boost to the mental and physical health of these communities,"Rutherford said.
Not knowing a club was aware of gender identity issues was a major barrier for trans* people, he added: "For gender diverse or intersex people, not knowing most likely equals not going."
Transgender Victoria's Sally Goldner welcomed the framework's promise to consult with trans* groups: "Any move to ensure trans and gender diverse people are able to be involved in sport on their merits rather than being excluded based on inaccurate generalisations."
The group also looked forward to "meet as soon as possible with Bingham Cup organisers – or any sporting body for that matter."
The Bingham Cup said further consultation on trans* issues should take place directly between sporting bodies and gender rights groups.
The Star Observer contacted a number of sporting codes about their approach to trans* issues. Only the AFL replied within deadline, saying they were "continuing to work with specialist groups on our policy approach."
However, at this point, the league had "no specific plans to further address gender identity but [we] believe that our overall vilification policy and player rules offer sufficient protection."
In its current vilification policy, the AFL notes discrimination on the grounds of gender identity or transgender status is illegal under state laws.

The story of the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) TSR.2 remains perhaps the most tragic and controversial in British aviation history. Even today, over 50 years since it was cancelled, arguments rage on both sides as to whether it would have given Britain a lead in military aviation until at least 1980 or proven to have been an insanely expensive "white elephant" that Britain simply couldn't afford. Arguments aside however for those with an appreciation for engineering and in particular aerospace technology it can't be helped but to look on in awe at the aircraft that was undeniably years ahead of the competition. Fortunately two airframes escaped the scrapper's torch and remains on display today as proof of just how far British engineering had come by the 1960s. Unfortunately politics seemed to still be lagging behind…Or ahead depending on your viewpoint.

Beginning Wednesday smartphones sold in the state must now be equipped with kill switch technology. That allows an owner to render the phone inoperable if it's ever stolen.
Democratic Senator Mark Leno authored the bill. He says the technology will automatically be activated unless buyers choose not to turn it on. Leno says the law wouldn't be as effective if people had to opt in.
"The criminal would think, you know, my chances are 50-50, I'm going to knock you over and take your phone. That wasn't good enough for us," he says. "We wanted the criminal to know it's ubiquitous, everyone's got it, it's not worth your trouble."
Leno says cell phone manufacturers have indicated they will not sell California-specific phones and instead will update all smartphones to meet the state's requirements.
CTIA, a wireless trade association, says the industry is working with policymakers and law enforcement to help protect consumers' smartphones.


text: Piven follows up What Presidents Are Made Of (2004) with an equally quirky gallery of athlete portraits made from buttons, gears, plastic miniatures and other found items attached to painted backgrounds. He links his 23 choices, most of whom are still active, or at least living, with the titular theme. Athletes are made of "Flash and Dash" (David Beckham), "Tough Stuff" (Joe Namath), "Big Mouths" (Muhammad Ali), "Funny Habits" (Michael Jordan)—and for he each adds an introductory paragraph and a factoid or two, backed up by further stats or records with thumbnail photos at the end. Though the portraits are too stylized to be recognizable on their own, and several text blocks are semi-legibly printed on dark backgrounds, seeing David Beckham's face formed by whistles for eyes and a bottle of pink nail polish (which he's been known to wear) for a nose, or a hot dog standing in for Babe Ruth's mouth and a funnel for Muhammad Ali's may draw chuckles from easily amused viewers.

Your Ambit Why: To change the lives of my family
First off, an opportunity to change the life of my family. To Live. We've been through so much that it's time to "Grow and Show." Naysayers make us stronger, the scars of life tell our story. Most of all, to teach our children you can do anything if you're willing to do your part. Our "Why" is to "Live."

Your Ambit Why
Most Ambit Consultants are motivated by something bigger than a paycheck – something we call their "Ambit Why." For some, it's the desire to spend less time working and more time with their loved ones. Others want to build a legacy that enables them to give back to their faith or their community. And some simply want the knowledge they can retire worry-free, with a steady income.

Here's what you see when entering the "farm" area of Farm Sanctuary (as opposed to the "People Barn" and surrounding cabins). Ever see a sign like this in a zoo?
The animals at the farm have been rescued from unimaginable violence and neglect. They now live in a sanctuary, in the most literal sense of the word: a sacred or inviolable place of refuge. Here, humans get it right.

Ahmadinejad Retakes Spot On Iran's Political Stage, Despite 'Advice'
Former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one of the most unique players on Iran's political stage — an unpredictable figure who is no stranger to political U-turns. On Feb. 11, he officially announced that he would not back any candidate in the May 19 presidential elections. Yet, Ahmadinejad, who was president from 2005 until 2013, has become one of the most active campaigners — even more so than some of the candidates actually running in the race — and he is vigorously supporting his former deputy Hamid Baghaei, who announced his candidacy just days after Ahmadinejad's announcement.

Emotional Fraser-Pryce says crowd support pushed her to 100m win at JN Racers Grand Prix
Despite her many outstanding accomplishments over the past decade, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce couldn't hold back the nerves ahead of her 100m race at the JN Racers Grand Prix last Saturday.
That was until the vociferous crowd inside the National Stadium threw its support in a most tangible way behind the iconic sprinter, who was contesting only her third race since giving birth to her son Zion last August.
The 31-year-old two-time Olympics 100m champion of 2008 and 2012, made a return to the track a few weeks ago at the JAAA All Comers meet winning in 11.53 seconds. Her second appearance was at the Cayman Invitational the previous week and she finished second in 11.33 seconds behind American Jenna Prandini.
With obvious progress being made, Fraser-Pryce was a last minute addition to the JN Racers Grand Prix.
She was thrown into the amphitheatre against some fierce and seasoned competitors with thousands awaiting the outcome. But they didn't just wait, they made her feel welcome with every sight of her on the big screen monitors inside the venue and they went wild when she was introduced.
"It was really emotional," said a wide-eyed Fraser-Pryce. "It's just because I don't cry very often, but it was really a warm reception."
Since the birth of her child, Fraser-Pryce changed her moniker from "Pocket Rocket" to "Mommy Rocket" and although she didn't leave the starting block with her usual bullet-like start, she was roared on to victory in 11.10 seconds.
"I am just really happy to be here; thank God for allowing me to finish healthy first of all. It's my third 100m, still a little choppy, but nonetheless I am really grateful for the outcome," said Fraser-Pryce, even as the crowd continued buzzing with excitement.
Drawn in lane six with her recent conqueror Prandini on her left, it was the 16-year-old Briana Williams to her right that left the blocks fastest, but Fraser-Pryce quickly got into her strides, went by Williams and held off the fast-finishing Prandini to the line.
It wasn't the quickest of races but for Fraser-Pryce it was a fantastic comeback run being spurred on by the vociferous crowd.
"I think the crowd just gave me an extra push. I was listening and I was a little nervous, but I am always nervous before I run," she explained.
"But when I heard the screams and the shouts, I just calmed and I remember, oh, I have been here before and I am just really glad everyone came out and supported me," reiterated Fraser-Pryce.

Sadly, however, the Church has not always honored this gift nor allowed the practice of baptism to reflect it's true and complete meaning. We have often made our baptism too "thick" to comprehend or too "thin" to have any effect. In fact, it has been said that "no other act in the Church's life has been the victim of the same degree of pragmatic utilitarianism" (Carr, 1964). Here we will take a look at some of the ways in which the practice of baptism is or has been in conflict with its full meaning and purpose. Generally these errors have fallen into two categories, those dealing with infant baptism and those dealing with adult or believer baptism.
"In modern times, the most vexing problem has been the baptism of infants" (White, 1980). Though there is little Scriptural evidence either way for the practice, the Church by the fifth century had accepted the practice, and since that time most Christians have baptized infants. Through the years the practice has remained, and throughout the Christian era has been the primary method of the growth of the church. The baptism of infants highlights a number of aspects of the meaning of baptism. The themes of grace, covenant, corporate salvation, and true sacrament are carried strongly through the appropriate practice of infant baptism (Carr, 1964). However, infant baptism also carries with it a number of pitfalls of which we must be wary, and into which the Church has stumbled at various points in it's history.
During the medieval period, the tendency was often to view baptism as a magical formula that would save us from hell, and due to fear for the fate infants who died before they were baptized, baptism was often a private ceremony performed at the first available moment, instead of waiting until Sunday or Easter Sunday as the early church had done with all baptisms.. We inherit the legacy of that mindset today in the "fire insurance" baptism, in which parents baptize their children in case it really is necessary for their entry into heaven, without ever intending to see that the gift of baptism is nurtured through involvement with the life of a congregation. This is perhaps a case of baptism being "too thick," or so obscured by our sense of the magical that we loose any sense of meaning behind it.
Even worse is the tendency of many today, no longer burdened by the fear of hell but still sensitive to the traditions of their recent culture, to view baptism as a dedication or naming ceremony for the child, complete with a fancy new outfit and relatives coming in for the celebration (Marty, 1962). While baptism is certainly a cause for celebration, here we have a baptism in which God does nothing, and after which we can congratulate ourselves for being so pious as to present our baby to the Lord. In this case we have watered down our baptism, making it too thin to have any effect at all.
On the other side of the road we have the view of baptism as a culmination of our Christian education, or a public sign that we have come of age and chosen to give our life to the Lord. Though adult baptisms were obviously common in the early days of the church, the practice of only baptizing adults began with the Anabaptists during the Reformation, and has caught on particularly with many non-denominational churches in the United States. This too is a break from a full understanding of baptism, as "only the west, with it's high degree of individualism, could consider restricting baptism to adult believers" (White, 1980). Though there is certainly nothing wrong with baptizing adults, here again we lose the view that baptism is a sacrament through which God acts, when it comes only as the result of our personal choice or study. Our baptism is thinning once again.
Carr points out that "Christian baptism is neither [exclusively] believer's baptism nor infant baptism. Each is a distortion of baptism's original intention and practice" (Carr, 1964). In order to celebrate the sacrament "faithfully according to the Gospel", we must work to embrace the full vision of what baptism entails. Having noted above some of the abuses and deficiencies of the baptismal rite, it is now appropriate to examine all of the meaning that a true Christian baptism entails. What does it mean for baptism to be a "means of grace"?
White defines five "chief New Testament metaphors" that are witnessed to by the Scriptures in reference to baptism (or what he more generally refers to as "Christian Initiation"). These are the themes of union with Jesus Christ, incorporation into the church, new birth, forgiveness of sin, and reception of the Holy Spirit (White, 1980). These five metaphors will provide a convenient framework for us to investigate how each is involved with the celebration of baptism within the life of the congregation.
Certainly there can be no doubt that Paul considers union with Christ to be a main effect of baptism, as is shown in Romans 6: "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life" (Rom 6:4). Baptism joins us to Christ both in his resurrection and in his death, a point that is often overlooked when we view baptism merely as the culmination of our Christian education.
The idea of incorporation into community is a strong one as well. Baptism is the church's initiation rite, and the way by which the church grew and added to it's membership in the days of the apostles. The ideas of union with Christ and incorporation into the community are closely tied together, as Clarks note in his observation about how the union with Christ happens: "How is this union with Christ accomplished; how does baptism effect it? The answer is given in terms of initiation into the Church. Baptism accomplishes union with Christ because it gives entry into the Church which is his resurrection body. Into that body the baptized are incorporated as 'members'" (Clark, 1956).
Certainly when we speak of new birth we often think of Jesus' statement to Nicodemus that "no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born from above" (John 3:3). But Paul also speaks of our rebirth when he says that "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation" (II Cor. 5:17). Baptism initiates us into a new life, even here in this world, and one which would not be possible for us without this gift of God.
Consulting Acts again shows us that the early church placed a high value on the forgiveness of sins in baptism at well, where we see Peter's instructions to "repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins" (Acts 2:38). The link between baptism and forgiveness is seen even earlier in the New Testament, as Mark relates that John the Baptist "came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins" (Mark 1:4).
Though there is some dispute within the New Testament as to when the Holy Spirit is received (immediately at baptism, preceding baptism, or following baptism), one thing is clear, that beginning with Jesus' own baptism, the two are always tied together. And it is that Holy Spirit, by which "we were all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13), that marks the community of the faithful.
These themes give as a more complete picture of what baptism really is, in which "God delivers us from the forces of evil, puts our sinful self to death, gives us new birth, adopts us as children, and makes us members of the body of Christ" (ELCA, 1997). Though baptism does incorporate salvation and Christian instruction, it is not limited to those two events, and a deeper understanding of the other processes involved will enable us to be truer to this gift that God has given us. Even with these themes in mind, we must remember that it is God who acts through baptism. It is God who joins us to the death and resurrection of Jesus, who grafts us into the vine of the church, who washes away our sins, who grants us rebirth and the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is what it means for baptism to be a means of grace.
The introduction of a case study at this point may help us to examine the significance of baptism and apply the knowledge to the practice of the rite within the congregation. In order to address a possibly less common situation, I have chosen here a case that highlights more the question of baptism as incorporation into the Church than the tension between infant and believer baptism.
I spent six of my summers during my high school and college years working as a counselor at a Lutheran family camp on the shores of Lake Erie. Many great friends were made there and it was an overall time of spiritual growth for me and many others. One part of the wonderful history of the camp is a "work week" at the beginning of each summer season, when families may come and volunteer part of their "vacation time" to assist the staff in preparing the camp property for a busy summer. Quite often, in addition to families, members of a particular church would bring their youth group along, as a combination fellowship/service project week for them. Sometimes the youth would invite friends who were not members of their own church to come along, and this was just such the case one summer with a young girl of about 13 or 14 years. After having spent the week working alongside her peers, attending chapel services and sharing meals with the rest of the campers assembled for that week, and perhaps experiencing for the first time the joy of a Christian community, (and much to the joy of those who had known her that week) the young girl expressed a desire to be baptized during the candlelight communion service which is a camp tradition each Friday evening.
And why not? Given that we can find precedents for "on the spot" baptisms, as in the Acts account of Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40), why should we refuse the baptism of a young person within a Christian worship service? Certainly this would meet many of the guidelines surveyed above for the celebration of a baptism. It would be a public ceremony, taking place within the assembly of believers. It would involve a complete incorporation into the community, including even a celebration of the Lord's Supper following. This was a believer's baptism, with no danger of performing the ceremony as a baby-rite or a purely cultural nicety. Time was even available for some short instruction in Baptism, to help the girl in the understanding of the event that was soon to take place.
The only issue that prevented this particular baptism from taking place was that of incorporation into the church. Principle 29 of The Use of the Means of Grace states that "In Baptism people become members not only of the Church universal but of a particular congregation" (ELCA, 1997). This was the one element which we as a community of faith were lacking. And yet that single missing element was of utmost importance. For the morning following the baptism, we would all climb into our vehicles and return to our own various congregations, and not return until the next summer. Who would remain besides her sponsors to fulfill the responsibility of the community, to daily act out the words following the baptism, "We welcome you into the Lord's family. We receive you as a fellow member of the body of Christ." (LBW, p.125)? In the light of the effect of baptism which ushers us into a community of God's people, the decision was made that the girl be baptized at the church of which her friends were members, upon her return home, into that more permanent group of the faithful (though we did send home a jar of real Camp Luther water to be used during the baptism!).
Our theology of baptism, then, does impact how it is celebrated within the life of the congregation, and not only in this case. Because baptism is God's gift, we allow it to be bestowed on both adults and infants alike, as God gives graciously to all. Because baptism is incorporation into the Church, we celebrate it communally and with the whole congregation. Because baptism is our being joined to Christ, we remember both his death and resurrection, and refuse to trivialize the act with idle sentiment. Because baptism is rebirth into a new life in Christ, we support and nurture those we baptize and honor our responsibility to be involved in their growth in faith.
With this many faceted understanding of baptism in place, we can guard against the tendency to overly thicken or water down our celebration of this gift, and help both those of us who have already been baptized, and those who will be, to claim all that this promise of God has to offer us.

O2 XDA Atom soft reset
Resetting your Xda Atom
Your Xda Atom can be reset in the following two ways: a soft reset or a hard reset. Executing soft reset allows you to reboot your Xda Atom; only some data in opened programs may be lost. Your Xda Atom
returns to the same status as the last time you used it. However, a hard reset turns the battery off, returns the device to its default
settings, and deletes all programs, files, contacts and other information you have saved to the device. It is therefore extremely
important to back up data to a storage card or your computer on a regular basis in case a hard reset has to be performed.
To perform a soft reset
If your Xda Atom responds slowly, stops responding, or freezes, you can soft reset it. A soft reset causes the Xda Atom to restart
and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in any opened applications may be lost. Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset
button, as shown below.
O2 XDA Atom hard reset
To perform a hard reset
A hard reset clears memory, deletes all data (such as owner information under Setup Wizard and AutoConfigurator) and restores the Xda Atom to its default settings. The action will erase all data that you have created and programs you have installed, but will keep all the preinstalled programs that were in the phone when your Xda Atom was first delivered to you. Press and hold the power button, and then use the stylus to press the soft reset button at the same time. Be sure you have backed up all your data in an mini SD card or on your PC before performing a hard reset.

The battle for Aleppo
July 20 - Amateur video appears to show Syrian rebels advancing on northern army-held town. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
Rebel forces advance on a northern army-held town in Aleppo province. The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters comes as the army has been attempting a slow build-up of troops around the province in order to retake Aleppo city, once Syria's biggest commercial hub. Aleppo has been mired in a bloody stalemate since rebels launched an offensive in the province last year. So far President Bashar al-Assad's push has been dogged by rebel counter-attacks. But a string of government victories elsewhere in Syria has shifted the tide in Assad's favor after more than two years of bloodshed that activists say has cost 100,000 lives..

There are a number of differing dialects, with the most marked differences in Western Bulgaria. Some experts classify the Macedonian language as a form of Bulgarian.Currency: Bulgarian currency is called the lev (BGL), plural leva. One lev is made up of 100 stotinki. It is tied to the Euro.Bulgarian Language Tips: Bulgarian is a complex language and parts of speech can have many different forms. There are two main forms of speech – mutable and immutable. Mutable parts of speech vary grammatically, whereas immutable ones don't change. Although there are only two number endings in Bulgarian (singular and plural), there are a wide variety of different word endings to indicate the plural. The definite article (the) is attached to the end of Bulgarian words, rather than occurring before them. Verbs in Bulgarian have aspect as well as tense, meaning that they indicate the level of completion of the action. There is also an additional mood in Bulgarian that doesn't occur in other languages. This gives a different form to words that describe unwittnessed events. The Bulgarian alphabet has 30 letters and is similar to the Cyrillic alphabet.
