Flying Displays
Included in the price of your general entry ticket, come along and watch one of the Muncaster Hawk and Owl Centre displays set in the Muncaster's beautiful gardens. This is your opportunity to witness the stealthy silent flight of an owl, the breathtaking speed of a falcon or a majestic eagle soar over the valley!
During our main season (Easter to the end of October), the World of Owls display kicks off the day at 11.30am in the Old Rose Garden arena, in the Hawk & Owl Centre.
The exhilarating Sky Hunters bird of prey display takes place at 2pm daily on the Meadow (just beyond the gates at the foot of the Castle front lawn) during our full season, with doggy seating available.
During the winter season there is still a spectacular daily flying display at 1.30pm
In exceptionally bad weather, it may not be possible for the birds to fly – check notices in the Centre for alternative arrangements.
Everyone (including dogs) is welcome at the wild heron feed, which takes place on the Cannon Bank and where you can find out about the nearby centuries-old heronry on the estate and how this daily spectacle came about. This is at 4pm in our full season and at 3pm through the winter months.

December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
Time Splittersby NeiloGD - Jam Entry
Time Splitters - igneousmoon & NeiloGD
Welcome Time Traveler!
For thousands of years people have be jumping in and out of the time stream, winning the lottery, changing history and creating paradoxes, but the time steam can't be diverted much further. If something isn't done now the whole thing will collapse into a big puddle of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey at the bottom of a worm hole!
That's where you come in!
You only get one chance to put things right. In order to win, you need to fix 8 points worth of important historical events before the wormhole divertor known as the tile pile runs out, but watch out, other time travelers will try to steal your glory!
Laid out before you is all of time and space, but you can't access it all the time or from the same point. On the table should be a map of what is currently available. Important events, marked by dates are scattered across the map. Sadly the time stream is broken in many places or branched incorrectly. Only connected time streams can be traveled through.
On the left there is a card listing three events in time, each allocated a number of points that can be won by repairing the event. Once any one of these events has been repaired the goal card will go to the bottom of the deck and new goals revealed, so get there fast.
There will also be a face up tile, this is the next available piece of time stream. On your turn you must use this tile to change the map. Click on one of the arrows surrounding the map in order to slide the tiles in that row or column in the direction indicated. The end tile will return to the bottom of the tile deck and your shiny new one will slide in next to the arrow you chose.
You can now move anywhere on the connected time stream. To repair an event simply land on it during your turn.

I was a bit confusing at first but then got the flow. And when I thought I was smart then the AI kicks my butt. :D
For a quick and dirty AI it's effective enough for an LD game :)
Fun board game, I found it a bit easy to beat the AI though. Did you make a physical version of it too? I would have liked to be able to examine the goal card again, never got quite enough time to read the flavour text.
Nah no physical version. Could make one though, would be quicker than coding the logic!
Such a cool game!! After I got it, I'll probably be playing this for hours :D
Was a pretty neat game! I wasn't sure what I was doing at first but once I figured it out I loved every bit of it. An indication as to where on the map the right dates are would be nice though, I spend a lot of time searching for the right card on the board.
Took a little while to get a grip of but once I got to grips with it it was very fun to play.
Nicely done, for a card game involving time travel. Rules weren't very well explained at the beginning, but I worked it out in the end. Not sure where the theme fits in either ... but cool game nonetheless :D
I'd have liked some way to zoom back in onto the dates card - and read through the descriptions of the dates through history that you've chosen / written. But yeah, you really should make a physical version, it'd work really well as a board game!
Really nice board game! I'd like to see a physical version of it, or the files do download and print a copy :P
I'm sure that the idea and rules of the game were great (it seemed so), but I was totally confused with its visuals. Improve that and you'll have a truly deep entry!
Nice ! A board game with a working AI, very impressive for a LD timeframe ! Congratulations !
Hard to tell what is going on and what is interactive, then you clic somewhere et you don't know what you have done ahah...
As other say, a board game based on these ideas could be neat.

New Acacia Guilele from KoAloha!
This is a new version of KoALoha classic tenor sized guilele, the D-VI. This Opio model is replacing the D-VI and is made with solid acacia and the same sound and feel that made the D-VI popular but at a lower cost, which is always nice. Take a listen as Zach gives a quick look and sample of this new KoAloha.
Pictures show the exact ukulele available here. Video shows the same model.
Neil Chin samples this model at the end of this interview.-
This is not your average ukulele. It has 6 strings and is tuned A-D-G-C-E-A. So the same on the high 4 strings of ukulele but with two lower strings for making full guitar voicings. This is the same tuning as putting a Capo on the 5th fret of a guitar. Same shapes but the key is a 4th higher when open. The KoAloha guilele is very easy to play for a guitar player or an ukulele player wanting to add more range to their playing.
This is a tenor-sized instrument and comes with a tenor KoAloha padded gig bag. It also fits the other tenor hardshell cases we offer.
Get an ukulele from experts in the ukulele market! Get an ukulele from Hawaii, home of the ukulele!

This is ukulele comes with a padded gig bag. You can upgrade to a canvas covered hard case or the Oahu hardcase in the options below. Both the UkeCrazy case, as well as the optional Oahu case can be seen in our Cases category under the Accessories tab at the top of this page.
Setup Options
Most people shop with us because of the extensive quality control and final setup work we provide at no extra cost on all ukuleles we ship out. However this is time consuming work and creates a delay in shipping. We are now offering an "Expedited Setup" for those wanting to receive their instrument faster. See details on the Full Setup and Expedited Setup options along with current turnaround times for each at the link- HERE.
Extra Options
One of the options for this ukulele is to trade out the Humistat included humidifier for the more expensive Oasis Ukulele Humidifier (OH-18) at a discount. This is required if you live in a low humidity area (parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, etc.) or also areas with winter seasons, especially if you heat the air in your home. For more info refer to the Ukulele Care link at the bottom of this page. If you think you need to humidify the instrument, then you also need a hard case for a humidifier to properly work, and you need to maintain the humidifier by refilling it as needed.
After adding this instrument to your cart, you can still create your own package by adding a case or accessories from the website.
Under the Accessories tab you can also customize this instrument by adding strap button(s) or your choice of pickup for plugging in. We recommend either the MiSi or the LR Baggs pickup for this ukulele.

if value is 900.00 to 949.99 then cell is 100.
if value is 950 to 999.99, then cell is 200
if value is 1000 to 1049.99, then cell is 300
if value is 1050 to 1099.00, then cell is 400
if value is 1100 or greater, then cell is 500
Can someone help me put this if statement together so it works? Im using Microsoft Office 2010.
I am assuming that by "if value is 900.00 to 949.99 " you are refer to a value is a specific cell and by "then cell is 100" you are referring to the cell where the formula resides.
In other words, with the formula in B1, you are looking at the value in A1.
If so, there are 2 methods:
A Nested IF function would look like this:=IF(A1>=1100,500,IF(A1>=1050,400,IF(A1>=1000,300,IF(A1>=950,200,IF(A1>=900,100)))))
However, there are 2 issues with this solution:
1 - You didn't tell us what you want the formula to rerun if the value is less than 900. As written, that formula will return FALSE since this condition is not specifically addressed. In other words, we haven't told Excel what to do if none of the conditions are met.
That issue can be solved by telling Excel to return an empty for any value that doesn't meet any of the specified conditions:=IF(A1>=1100,500,IF(A1>=1050,400,IF(A1>=1000,300,IF(A1>=950,200,IF(A1>=900,100,"")))))
2 - This may not be an issue, but you only have 2 decimal places in your conditions, e.g. 999.99. While your cell may display 999.99, if that value is the result of a calculation,
the actual value that Excel may use could be 999.991. If we were to use your exact values, we would need to tell Excel what to with values between e.g. 999.99 and 1000.
As written, the formula I posted will use <1000, as opposed to =999.99, which handle 999.991 very well. If there is some reason that you need to restrict your conditions to xxx.99, the formula will be more complicated, but can still be written.
OK, there is also another method that uses VLOOKUP.
If you create a table with your values, you can use a much simpler formula. If you use the VLOOKUP method, you can change the values in the table and not have to touch the formula should any of your criteria change in the future.
For example, if you start with this table:C D 1 0 2 900 100 3 950 200 4 1000 300 5 1050 400 6 1100 500
You can use this formula:

I didn't provide enough information. This is a bonus pay calculation.
If her PRU is between 900.00 to 949.99, then she is paid 100.
If her PRU is between 950 to 999.99, then the bonus is 200.00 instead of 100.00 and so on down the list above.
Thank you for your response
Why don't you think you provided enough information? I believe that I provided 2 solutions that should work for you.

Dr Shenila Khoja-Moolji is Assistant Professor of Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies at Bowdoin College, US. She speaks to Eos about her new book, Forging the Ideal Educated Girl: The Production of Desirable Subjects in Muslim South Asia, in which she traces the figure of the "educated Muslim girl" in the political and social context of education reform and development campaigns pursued in British India and post-colonial Pakistan, showing that an evolving gender narrative intersects with that of the nation, class and religion.
Why did you choose to write on this subject?
I had been writing about the current convergence on the figure of the girl in international education development policy and practice. I was fascinated by the ways in which the 'educated girl' is often presented as the solution to a wide range of structural problems, including poverty and terrorism. I thus wanted to explore the societal investments in this figure. The 'Musalman woman' of the past, too, was framed similarly — her education was also expected to transform her into a figure who could improve her family and nation. So the book is an attempt to trace a genealogy of this figure in the context of colonial India and Pakistan. I wanted to show that a range of different entities — from colonial officers and Christian missionaries to Muslim social reformers, the Pakistani state, and now corporations such as Nike — converge on this figure to articulate different imaginations of an ideal social order. In this way, education becomes both regulatory and emancipatory for girls.
This work largely falls under historical and cultural studies with emphasis on colonial India and post-colonial Pakistan. What are the major continuities and departures that you observe in the construction of the 'ideal' woman/girl in contemporary Pakistan from pre-Partition India?
A key intervention of the book is to show that at any one moment, we will find multiple notions of ideal girlhood that exist alongside each other. However, some versions gain prominence given the sites of their articulation. The state, for instance, is able to quite loudly articulate its imaginations of woman- and girlhood. Likewise, in the current moment, transnational corporations and non-governmental organisations in Pakistan also have the platform and the capital to advance their imaginations of girlhood. So, instead of a linear, progressive narrative from point A to B, I traced these multiple ideas that circulate and how they are linked with other issues such as notions of respectability, social class, concerns around waged-work, etc. As the concerns change, notions of the ideal girlhood also change, not only across time and space, but also within any particular moment.
In your book you problematise the project of neo-liberalisation of education that is being pursued by the government in Pakistan and also in other South Asian countries, including India. What do you think is an alternative to this neo-liberal model?
I am more concerned about the fact that in our drive to educate girls, we are also putting upon them the responsibility of solving political problems — such as poverty and disease — that actually require political solutions such as taxation policies, living wages, addressing state corruption, securing safer working conditions, etc. So, we see a shifting of the burden of development on to girls, which is problematic for me. That is a key practice of neo-liberal articulations of education.
You argue in your book that in the making of a nation, the subject of the ideal woman intersects with national identity, development and modernisation. The political debate in contemporary Pakistan revolves around the concept of 'Naya Pakistan' by the current Prime Minister Imran Khan. Do you think the evolution of the discourse on Naya Pakistan will impact the idea of the 'ideal' woman? Where do you locate women in this narrative?
We will have to wait and see, and analyse the discourse as it evolves. However, broadly, yes, I do think women will continue to be featured prominently in the ways in which 'Naya Pakistan' articulates itself. It will include statist as well as non-statist articulations. The excessive attention to First Lady Bushra Maneka's dress is a case in point. The nation forges itself through its discourse on women and it will continue to do so. And as scholars, we will continue to pay attention to it, to observe how the discourse both creates space for women but also narrows possibilities for them.
Do you plan to take this debate on gender, religion and nation forward with other similar projects in the future?
I am actually extending a line of enquiry that I wrote about briefly in the book. It has to do with the auto/biographical text Hayat-i-Ashraf compiled by Syeda Muhammadi Begum during the early 20th century. I am engaging with the text to argue how we can re-animate Muslim women's auto/biographical writings toward decolonial ends. The text is quite generous because it includes the writings of Bibi Ashraf — one of the earliest Muslim women schoolteachers — herself as well as those of her daughter and of her editor, Muhammadi Begum. And, now with me writing about it, we have yet another kind of engagement with the text. So the text travels across time and continues to teach us lessons about gender and education.

Yesteryear actresses Rekha and Jaya Bachchan recently met each at the Parliament on Saturday when members of both the houses gathered to vote for the election of the Vice-President of India. The two were in Delhi for the presidential elections where even Sachin Tendulkar was present. It was there where Jaya and Rekha shared an awkward moment.
According to a leading daily, Rekha and Jaya bumped into each other when Rekha and Rajiv Shukla were waiting for the elevator with some MPs near Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's office in Parliament. While they waited for the lift, Jaya Bachchan got down and as the lift door opened, the two exchanged an unpleasant look at each other without making it obvious. It was surprising for the people around to see Rekha hug Jaya outside the lift.
But the same reports also say that Rekha murmured something to Jaya which left her startled. We wonder what was that!
Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha's alleged affair used to make a lot of headlines back in the past and ever since Rekha's equation with Jaya has been under controversies.

Class Action Accuses So-Called Payment Processor Of Screwing Consumers Seeking Debt Relief Services With Inflated Fees Executed Through Network Of Front-End Outfits
In San Francisco, California, Courthouse News Service reports:
- So-called payment processor Meracord "loots" customers' accounts by taking exorbitant, fraudulent fees through a network of "front end" debt relief companies, customers claim in a RICO class action.
Lead plaintiff Donte Cheeks sued Meracord LLC and its sureties, Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland and Platte River Insurance Company, in Federal Court.
The four named plaintiffs claim that Meracord, based in Tacoma, Wash., changed its name from NoteWorld "after a number of class action lawsuits were filed against Note World. ... (M)any of the events described herein took place when the company was called 'NoteWorld,'" the complaint states.
The Courthouse News database shows similar complaints against Meracord, including two class actions, in upstate New York, in two other California venues, and in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
"Meracord engages and relies upon a network of 'front-end' debt relief companies ('Front DRCs') that it utilizes to recruit customers," the complaint states. "The Front DRCs offer to act as intermediaries between distressed and distraught debtors and their creditors, using inflated claims and misrepresentation about their services to sign up customers, and charging exorbitant, abusive, and often illegal fees once the mark is on the hook.
- The class claims that Meracord changed its name from NoteWorld to try to hide from lawsuits just like this one: "By changing names, companies in the industry are able to wipe clean their online reputation virtually overnight, making it more difficult for consumers to associate the companies with lawsuits and other negative consumer feedback," the complaint states.
The class claims that Meracord is a defendant in "numerous cases" around the country, and has settled at least two cases "that have severely depleted its available assets, including insurance policies."
The complaint lists dozens of Front DRCs Meracord allegedly uses.
The plaintiffs seek class certification and damages to be paid from "over $17 million" in surety bonds that Meracord allegedly carried. They are represented by Steve Berman with Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro of Seattle.

Prime Minister David Cameron buys a £1,500 used car for his wife
ShareBack to blog
The Prime Minister has surprised a car dealer by turning up to buy £1,500 used car for his wife Samantha.
Before David Cameron's visit, showroom owner Iain Harris, 44, received a call from the PM's security team saying he was interested in a Nissan Micra and wanted to pop in and look at the car. Mr. Harris thought it was one of his mates having a wind-up.
What did the Prime Minister look for when buying the used car?
- He was keen to ensure he was buying a British-made vehicle.
- He spent about half an hour kicking the tyres and examining the car.
- The Tory leader said the blue car was "just the right colour".
- He asked his security detail to stand behind the car to make sure the back brake lights worked.
Mr. Harris added: "It was a bit surreal, but likewise he was just a normal chap buying a car for his wife, a normal conversation, normal sort of deal and that was it."
Would you buy a second-hand car?
If you are looking to buy a used car, remember, don't give away the maximum amount you're willing to spend on the new set of wheels. And if you are considering to borrow to pay for your new car, make sure you have read these 9 things to consider when buying a used car through a personal loan before you apply for car finance.

Fox & Friends fell all over themselves with adoration for Kanye West's rant in the Oval Office yesterday. Cohost Ainsley Earhardt smiled as she announced West was "bringing that dragon energy to Donald Trump!"
In concert with Earhardt, a full-screen graphic read, "DRAGON ENERGY UNLEASHED!"
Cohost Steve Doocy described West's unhinged rant as "making history in the Oval Office with a stream-of-conscious kind of soliloquy. If you missed it, you missed a lot." Doocy sounded excited.
A clip of West rolled, then Brian Kilmeade said "Wow, That was great, that was unscripted, and that was real." He did acknowledge, "The language was over the top."
Earhardt added, "He was so honest, though. I mean, he shouted out love to Hillary Clinton, says he loves her but he doesn't relate to her, and looked at the president and he said, 'You've taught me to be brave, and I love wearing this hat, it makes me feel like Superman.'"
Another full-sreen graphic read, 'YEEZY DOES IT."
Geraldo Rivera heaped more praise: "I thought it was great."
"In 2005, Kanye West was the darling of the mainstream media because he condemned Republican President George W. Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina. So in 2005, the media loved Kanye," Rivera said. "In 2018, because he embraces the Republican president, the media jumps all over him."
"Kanye made some excellent points," Rivera continued. He said West and the president have a "shared interest in fighting urban violence, trade imbalances, prisons - oppressive prisons that employ, among other things, involuntary servitude."
Of course, the hatriots at Fox News could not just leave it at loving West, they had to smear and attack at least one of their usual scapegoats. In this case, it was the media. "You know, I thought that Kanye made some very important, substantive points, but I think the media just can't deal with the fact that here you have a prominent man of color embracing the 45th president of the United States," Rivera sneered.
"Here's the proof" the media "can't handle it" Kilmeade piled on. We saw clips of pundits on CNN and MSNBC criticizing West. That was followed by a full-screen graphic blaring, "MEDIA ATTACKS KANYE."
Rivera called the rest of the media "so thin-skinned and narrow-minded, themselves, when it comes to Trump Derangement Syndrome. … To root for the president to fail is to root for the country to fail. Kanye totally gets it."

UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has urged the international community to increase its support to Afghanistan, where millions of displaced people and repatriated refugees need humanitarian assistance.
Afghanistan needs the support of the international community more than ever to help millions of people involved in a displacement crisis, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has said after visiting the country with UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Mark Lowcock. Grandi called on donors to increase support for the humanitarian response and to deal with the causes at the root of the crisis.
'Major crisis' in Afghanistan
In a statement, UNHCR said that the crisis is a major one in terms of the number of people involved and its length. Nearly 4.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, including 1.9 million internally displaced persons and over 60,000 refugees who have returned home.
Outside the country, 2.6 million Afghan refugees are currently in Pakistan and Iran, together with an even larger number of undocumented Afghans and other citizens who have a passport. ''The country now more than ever needs the support of the international community, as it takes steps to pursue peace and stability, and to link humanitarian action to broader development efforts,'' said Grandi. ''Without a solution to displacement, there will be no lasting peace''.
There are currently 4.2 million people in Afghanistan who are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance due to conflict, displacement and natural disasters, including an ongoing draught. An additional 8.7 million people need assistance due to extreme poverty, high unemployment and the loss of means of support due to climate change.
Positive policies on refugee resettlements
In Kabul, Grandi and Lowcock expressed appreciation for Afghanistan's work to help refugees and internally displaced people return home, involving them in development and innovation policies that include the private sector. UNHCR reported that, despite the difficult conditions, as of early September some 12,000 refugees have returned to Afghanistan under the organization's voluntary repatriation program this year, adding to the more than 5.2 million Afghan refugees have been assisted to return home since 2002.
The agency said that, while recognizing the daunting challenges faced by Afghanistan, Grandi and Lowcock praised the inclusion of displaced persons and returnees in national programming, addressing land issues for returnees, investing in districts of high return and working together to ensure their reintegration is sustainable in the long-term and that the root causes of displacement and humanitarian crises are addressed.

hi! so during winter quarter this year i applied to take two courses abroad in berlin, germany this summer, and my application got accepted! i got in during winter quarter, but i didn't want to spread the news until things got a little more finalized. so now that things are a little more concrete, i was super excited to share it with all of you! i am beyond thrilled and grateful for this experience. i will be living in berlin for a month with two short trips to munich and dessau. i may also be doing a little traveling around europe before my classes begin, but i can't i'm completely sure what the plan is there so there's not much to say. i know a lot of people will wonder why i chose berlin as my destination to study abroad when there are so many other countries in europe that seem to offer so much more. i guess berlin isn't as flashy and popular as say some other destinations, but i think it's a fascinating city with a lot of history in it and i'm really looking forward to discovering all its quirks and gems. although i know i'll have plenty of time there to plan what i want to see in berlin, i've been casually looking at some of the things the city has to offer and so i wanted to share some of the ones i'm most excited about. maybe you're traveling to germany and you can put these on your list to check out, or maybe these will spark your imagination to check out berlin yourself! either way i want to add that this post isn't about the main touristy things. i will no doubt be visiting all of the most important and popular spots, but with a month in the city i know there will be plenty of time to check out the cool, less mainstream things berlin has to offer.
italy is a place many people dream of going to; i know i always did. when i was in high school though, i had the amazing opportunity to travel to italy with my family the summer after my sophomore year. i can still remember the excitement i felt building up in me in the days leading up to our trip. i couldn't wait to experience a different culture; i imagined it would be a whole new world. and it was. during our trip we traveled to three cities; rome, florence, and venice. i have to say, however, florence was the magical city that stole my heart.
a week ago was veterans day, which meant i had the day off from school! so... one of my suit mates and i decided to spend the day exploring san diego. we had been wanting to check out the north park neighborhood, and we decided this would be the perfect opportunity. we woke up early, caught two bus rides, and finally found ourselves in the charming and unique neighborhood of north park. we quickly found out that our journey there was well worth it. we started with breakfast at holsem, which i totally recommend. you MUST try their lavender drink!
my summer vacation is coming to an end, (i move this week!) and with that my mom decided to squeeze in one last mini vacation. she wouldn't tell me where we were going until that morning, and even then she didn't really know for sure herself. we simply decided to drive north along the coast and stop wherever we wanted. it was SO nice not having a strict itinerary; it really made it feel like a vacation. so thursday morning i packed my overnight bag and we decided to head for santa barbara. we stopped in downtown santa barbara for lunch, and i swear i ate some of the best pizza EVER. we ate at a restaurant called persona wood fired pizza; i would HIGHLY recommend it if you ever find yourself in santa barbara. after, we did some shopping then headed further north to solvang.
i'm shawndiz, a college student in desperate need of a creative outlet. i love all things design worthy and revel in creating and sharing what i find beautiful and interesting in the world. above all i believe that being a busy college student doesn't mean you should sacrifice style.

United States Attorney General Jefferson Sessions put out a tragic new policy today that, if it is followed, will ruin countless lives through the unyielding weight of the federal law. Under the policy, which is outlined in this memorandum "for all federal prosecutors," the government will "charge and pursue the most serious, readily provable offense." This means U.S. attorneys no longer exercise discretion, but instead will pursue people with the highest penalties, i.e. the longest Guidelines sentences and the harshest mandatory minimums, that they can. The new policy is a sea change, especially in drug cases, where prosecutors were previously directed to seek mandatory minimum sentences only against the most serious offenders (in case there was any confusion, Attorney General Sessions specifically rescinded that policy, known as the Holder Memorandum).
In child pornography cases, the new policy means that virtually all offenders may be charged with a mandatory minimum sentence of five years for "receipt" of illegal child pornography. While fraud cases generally do not carry mandatory minimums, it may mean that more defendants are charged with aggravated identity theft, which carries a two-year mandatory minimum sentence consecutive to any other sentence imposed. If individual prosecutors do not charge these "most serious, readily provable" offenses, they will have to get approval from the U.S. attorney for the district or an assistant attorney general, or their designee. Reasons not to charge must be "documented in the file."
Defenders of over-criminalization in the federal system point to prosecutorial discretion as a counterweight to the thousands of acts that Congress has defined as federal offenses. Prosecutors, they argue, need to be able to bring serious charges in order to obtain cooperation from defendants and to force fair guilty pleas. But the Sessions memorandum, if read literally, would seem to turn that approach upside down: it directs prosecutors to charge as harshly as possible, no matter how extreme or unusual the law is. Of course, the U.S. Department of Justice has a long tradition of decentralization, leaving many crucial decisions and policies to local U.S. attorneys. Again, that ought to be a bulwark against overreaching under the federal criminal code. But the Trump administration seems intent on breaking down many of the customs that have kept the federal system, on balance, relatively fair. If the Sessions memo is followed, it spells tragedy for families gathered up in its broad, thoughtless net.

10 Biggest Selling Myths Uncovered
Selling a house can be a bit like having a baby -- everyone gives you advice that you may or may not have asked for, in spite of the fact that the experience is unique to each individual every time. And just like having a baby, there are many myths and "old wives' tales" to be de-bunked. Among the truths are the following ten:
2. Myth: Minor repairs can wait until later. There are more important
things to be done.
3. Myth: Once potential buyers see the inside of your home, curb
appeal won't matter.
4. Myth: Once potential buyers fall in love with the exterior
look of your home, you put interior improvements on the back burner.
5. Myth: Your home must be every home buyer's dream home.
6. Myth: Buyers are unswayed by sellers that offer creative financing
7. Myth: You are better off selling your home on your own, thus
saving the commission you would have paid to a real estate agent.
8. Myth: Good sellers are available to guide prospective buyers
through the home, giving the whole process a more personal touch.
9. Myth: Successful sellers insist that the terms of the sale
happen their way or no way.
10. Myth: When you receive an offer, you should make the buyer
wait. This gives you a better negotiating position.

In an election season that hasn't exactly been marked by bipartisan unity, members of the House of Representatives appeared to come together Monday in the face of news reports detailing an effort by the Pentagon to claw back bonuses paid to soldiers who agreed to serve additional time in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ten years ago, when wars in both countries were still raging, military recruiters were under immense pressure to keep their numbers up, and one way they did that was by offering reenlistment bonuses. The California National Guard was particularly generous with the bonuses -- too generous, as it turns out. Soldiers who weren't supposed to be offered money to reenlist had bonuses dangled in front of them and many accepted them.

Now, the military is pursuing the soldiers who took the improperly offered bonus money, many of whom were wounded fighting for the US after accepting it. Some have been told that they owe the government tens of thousands of dollars, including interest and penalties, and have been forced to take extreme measures, including taking out second mortgages on their homes, to come up with the money.
After the Los Angeles Times ran a major story on the issue over the weekend, lawmakers from California, who happen to occupy some of the most senior positions in the House of Representatives, promised speedy action.
"It is disgraceful that the men and women who answered their country's call to duty following September 11 are now facing forced repayments of bonuses offered to them," House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Monday. "Our military heroes should not shoulder the burden of military recruiters' faults from over a decade ago. They should not owe for what was promised during a difficult time in our country. Rather, we are the ones who owe a debt for the great sacrifices our heroes have made – some of whom unfortunately paid the ultimate sacrifice.
"The Department of Defense should waive these repayments and I will be requesting a full brief from Army and National Guard leadership," he added. "The House will investigate these reports to ensure our soldiers are fully honored for their service."

"These brave Californians were willing to give everything to serve our country, and they earned every penny and benefit given to them," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. "The overpayment of enlistment signing bonuses by the Department of Defense should not be the responsibility of our service members or veterans to pay back, years after the fact."
Pelosi called on Republican leaders of both houses to address the issue as soon as Congress returns to Washington after the election.
"Speaker Ryan and Leader McConnell must join with Congressional Democrats and pass a legislative fix as soon as we gavel back into session," she said.
In a statement to Politico, AshLee Strong, a spokesperson for House Speaker Paul Ryan, pointed out that the House had included restrictions on such clawbacks in its version of the National Defense Authorization Act, and said, "multiple House committees are currently following up on the specifics of this latest report."

Hi all,
This is a bit of a complex problem but I'll try to keep it short.
I merged a branch (lets call it X) into my working branch (lets call it Y). Now, unfortunately for me I have to go through each file from X and check if it's 'safe' to use - discarding chunks from certain files, keeping other lines, etc.
While working on Y -- through Sourcetree -- I have been staging files and committing (and pushing) once I know they are 'safe'. So I have a remote and local branch (Y) that is now almost completely good to go.
Then something bad happened and I removed the remaining 'yet to be cleaned / checked' files from my unstaged changes and restarted Sourcetree - I did this thinking that when I remerged X, it would detect that Y had already accepted most of X's files (or that I hade made changes -- making them more up to date than X) and display those remaining files that had yet to be staged from before. This did not happen.
I now have all the changes I have 'cleaned' / saved and committed, but remerging X does nothing - Sourcetree seems not to recognize that X and Y still have differences and that Y doesn't have newer / more up to date files than X (in some cases).
This is despite the fact that running git diff X..Y shows all the differences I need to track!!!!
Please help
Okay I managed to figure this out... mostly by accident haha.
So since my current 'remote' and working copy branch (Y) had all the changes I wanted, I reset branch Y to a state PRE merge with X, but as 'mixed' (keep working copy changes).
This allowed me to just re-commit the working copy changes to Y and then merge from X (had to do a force push to update the remote branch Y but this was no biggie). The remaining files (which I had yet to clean) now appeared again, letting me finish my days work.
If anyone else has this issue, this will hopefully solve it for you too.

For too long I've seen friends come and go, watched as brothers fought inglorious and bloody battles, I've seen good men go bad and bad men become gentle. I have watched men slowly die inside and give up as everything they knew and loved in this world went away, I've seen men stronger than me slowly deteriorate and slip into madness. My eyes have seen all these things and so much more. My soul has been drenched in justice and they say I have not been here long enough.
I am a 3 striker. All my crimes were robberies. I knocked off convienent stores, gas stations, grocery stores, coffee stands and the occasional dope man when the opportunity presented itself. I never meant to be the cause for remorse, I don't belong to a gang, and I certainly was not committing so called "hood crimes" to get rich. I was a homeless drug addict who had all but given up on life. The man I was in 2006 was fully deserving of incarceration and my victims deserved justice. The only measure of justice I could give them was to plead guilty and spare them the inconvenience of having to show up at court for my trial.
The above lable inevitably allow our minds to conjures all sorts of horrific violent acts being carried out against society by heartless Machiavellian thugs. Clearly and admittedly I am no Angle. But after all these years I want to tell my story – my journey. You may be able to draw parallels in that I may not be all that different than you or someone you know. I do not advocate for anyone doing time. I am telling my story in part as a cautionary tale and in part so you the reader can understand how a person can find themselves at the end of their rope.
"My friend, I am going to tell you the story of my life, as you wish; and if it were only the story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow? So many other men have lived and will live that story, to be grass upon the hills." – Black Elk,
Oglala Sioux, 1863-1950
I was born in 1973 at Waldo hospital, the predecessor of General hospital at North Gate in north Seattle. My mother is Irish and a member of the Lumbee Nation in south Carolina. She was also a drug addict. My father is Klamath and an enrolled member of the Summit Lake Paiute tribe. He was also a Vietnam Veteran and an alcoholic.
I was born addicted to heroin . My first experience in life was withdrawal. Back in those days it was easy for babies to fall through the cracks. Despite my mom's addiction and my being born with heroin in my system I was allowed to go home with with my parents.
The creator made babies tough and resilient. Maybe doubly so in my case. The first seven months of my life were spent in solitude. Bottle feedings and diaper changes were infrequent at best. These times were the only human contact I had. Both my parents were too preoccupied with their heroin addictions to be nurturing. By the time the state got involved I was described as having "Failure To Thrive"syndrome. Basically I had checked out and lost any will to live. This occurrs in severe cases of neglect.
Rather than allow the state to take my sister and myself away, she turned us over to the care of her family doctor until she could get clean. Getting clean took my mom 15 years. In the mean time my sister and I were raised in an upper middle class white christian household. Eventually My sister, half brother who came along later, and myself were adopted by the doctor and his wife. I had 7 new sisters who fawned over me and a new mother who poured love and attention into a fragile, malnourished unresponsive "blob" as she put it. Eventually I came around and grew to be an inquisitive, energetic, affectionate and imaginative little boy.
In school I was constantly frustrated by my learning disbilities , one of which is dyslexia. As I approached adolescents the difficulties my parents had raising me prompted them to seek the advice of a child psychologist. I was not a bad kid but there were some lingering effects from the earlier neglect, malnourishment, and exposure to narcotics. It was determined that I needed to be placed temporarily in a group home. The decision would have far reaching consequences.

Doctors Are No Experts on Vaccines. Get Over it.
There is a common belief that doctors are "experts" on vaccines and vaccination. Almost nothing could be farther from the truth. The average doctor, for example, may not know the names of the ingredients in vaccines, or what they are and how they interact with each other. The average doctor may not know how vaccines affect the immune system or the central nervous system or the gut microbiome, or how the effect of vaccines on one of these systems could, in turn, impact one or both of the others.
Yet, we are conditioned to accept as fact that our family doctors, our pediatricians, and the specialists with whom we occasionally consult or seek health care treatment from know what they're talking about when it comes to the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. We are taught not to contradict, or even question, doctors on vaccines, because it is they, not you, who know best.
Our assumption is that doctors receive a great deal of instruction and training in the science of vaccination in medical school, and then perhaps even more schooling during their subsequent residencies. After all, if you're going to be acknowledged as an expert in something, you need to have much more than just a passing introduction to a subject, or one or two courses in it or something related to it. You would think that for doctors to be considered experts in vaccines they would have taken vaccinology courses during medical school. But that does not appear to be the case.
More than likely, information on vaccinology in medical and nursing schools is not concentrated within specialized courses, rather disbursed within other courses in specialized curriculums such as immunology, infectious diseases, pediatrics, pharmacology, pharmacovigilance and public health.2
There is no question that the topic of vaccines comes up occasionally in medical school. However, because the science of vaccination is assumed to be proven, and thus not up for question or debate, it does not seem to merit an entire course, much less an exhaustive curriculum. So what exactly do doctors learn in medical school with regard to vaccines and vaccination?
Larry Palevksy, MD is a board-certified pediatrician. He received his medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine in New York City.1 Here's what Dr. Palevsky has to say about his training in vaccines…
When I went through medical school, I was taught that vaccines were completely safe and completely effective, and I had no reason to believe otherwise. All the information that I was taught was pretty standard in all the medical schools and the teachings and scientific literature throughout the country. I had no reason to disbelieve it.
Over the years, I kept practicing medicine and using vaccines and thinking that my approach to vaccines was completely onboard with everything else I was taught. But more and more, I kept seeing that my experience of the world, my experience in using and reading about vaccines, and hearing what parents were saying about vaccines were very different from what I was taught in medical school and my residency training.
… and it became clearer to me as I read the research, listened to more and more parents, and found other practitioners who also shared the same concern that vaccines had not been completely proven safe or even completely effective, based on the literature that we have today.
… It didn't appear that the scientific studies that we were given were actually appropriately designed to prove and test the safety and efficacy.
It also came to my attention that there were ingredients in there that were not properly tested, that the comparison groups were not appropriately set up, and that conclusions made about vaccine safety and efficacy just did not fit the scientific standards that I was trained to uphold in my medical school training.1
Note Dr. Palevsky's comment, "All the information that I was taught was pretty standard in all the medical schools and the teachings and scientific literature throughout the country." So it's not like Dr. Palevsky's experience was unique. And it's not like Dr. Palevsky attended an odd or unorthodox school. In 2015, NYU Medical School was ranked 14th among the top medical schools (research) in the United States.3
Suzanne Humphries, MD, board-certified in nephrology and family medicine,4 echoes Dr. Palevsky…
Do you know how much doctors learn about vaccines in medical school? When we participate in pediatrics training, we learn that vaccines need to be given on schedule. We learn that smallpox and polio were eliminated by vaccines. We learn that there's no need to know how to treat diphtheria, because we won't see it again anyway. We are indoctrinated with the mantra that 'vaccines are safe and effective'—neither of which is true.
Doctors today are given extensive training on how to talk to 'hesitant' parents—how to frighten them by vastly inflating the risks during natural infection. They are trained on the necessity of twisting parents' arms to conform, or fire them from their practices. Doctors are trained that nothing bad should be said about any vaccine, period.5
Dr. Humphries received her medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine4 in Philadelphia, PA. But almost everything she has learned about vaccines has come from her own independent study and research. She co-authored the book Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History, published in 2013.6
Then there's Bob Sears, MD, another board-certified pediatrician who has also largely educated himself with regard to vaccines. He received his medical degree from the Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, DC. Dr. Sears authored the book The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child, published in 2011.7 According to Dr. Sears:
Doctors, myself included, learn a lot about diseases in medical school, but we learn very little about vaccines, other than the fact that the FDA and pharmaceutical companies do extensive research on vaccines to make sure they are safe and effective. We don't review the research ourselves. We never learn what goes into making vaccines or how their safety is studied. We trust and take it for granted that the proper researchers are doing their job. So, when patients want a little more information about shots, all we can really say as doctors is that the diseases are bad and the shots are good. But we don't know enough to answer all of your detailed questions about vaccines, nor do we have the time during a regular health check up to thoroughly discuss and debate the pros and cons of vaccines.8
To give you an idea of what a four-year curriculum at a medical school in the U.S. might look like, let's take the example of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. The first year would include Anatomy, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Embryology, Genetics, Human Behavior, Immunology, Neuroscience, and Physiology.9 No course on Vaccinology.
If you look at the descriptions for these courses online and do a word search for "vaccines" or "vaccination," you get one hit, and that's under Immunology. It reads:
Finally, medically relevant forms of immune dysregulation and intervention are explored, including vaccines, immunomodulators, hypersensitivities, immunodeficiencies, autoimmunity, graft-versus-host disease, transplantation immunology, and tumor immunology.6
That's it. If you go to the online descriptions for the courses listed for the second, third and fourth years,10 11 12 you will see no further mention of the word "vaccine" or "vaccination." The second year curriculum lists Clinical Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, and Advanced Cardiac Life Support. No Vaccinology. The third year lists Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Inpatient Services, Outpatient Rotation, Psychiatry, and Surgery. No Vaccinology. The fourth year lists Acute Care, Ambulatory Care, and Medicine Sub-Internship. Nothing on Vaccinology.
Notice also that there was no specific course in Toxicology, although the topic could be covered within a Pharmacology course. You would think that courses on toxicology (particularly as its relates to vaccines) would be stressed, given the importance of understanding the ingredients within vaccines, and the way they interact with each other. Absent this knowledge, medical students might not fully comprehend the concept of synergistic toxicity—"the effect that when exposed to two toxins, the toxicity level is far greater than the additive toxicity levels of the two toxins."13
Biochemist Boyd Haley, PhD, a former professor in the College of Pharmacy and in the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, has expressed dismay at the lack of instruction in toxicology doctors are given in medical school. He says…
I can tell you, having been in a medical center, having taught biochemistry to medical students, and talking to hundreds of medical doctors, they get very little training in toxicology… I mean, no courses that are specifically designed, such as a PhD student in toxicology would have, or a PhD student in biochemistry. They don't understand it at all. They are not trained to evaluate the toxic effects of chemicals, especially at the research level. One, they don't do research programs, they don't have the insight that's developed and required for someone writing a PhD thesis in toxicology or biochemistry of materials that inhibit enzymes. They just don't understand the science and the chemistry at that level. And certainly pediatricians don't.14
So we know that medical students get little or no exposure to vaccine science in school. We know that if they don't happen to pick up a book such as Dr. Sears' The Vaccine Book and read it carefully, medical students graduate with a knowledge about vaccines that is virtually non-existent. But what about afterward, when they start actually working as doctors in the real world? Don't they get some sort of intense training in vaccinology on the job? According to Toni Bark, MD, a pediatrician with a medical degree from Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL… no.
"It's not that I knew much about vaccines," says Dr. Bark. "I did a pediatric residency and you don't really learn anything. You're taught the schedule, that's really what you're taught about vaccines. You're taught the schedule and that it produces antibodies and that's it. You don't get any information on innate immunity, and Th1 to Th2, risks… none of that."15
There you go. Another myth, debunked by doctors themselves—doctors trained in some of the best medical schools in the country. Most doctors are not experts on vaccines. They never have been. Not even close.

I called this post Think about It because I'm going to ask a bunch of real-life questions and I just want people to ponder for a moment. Something that I wonder is what you would do if you were in my situation. Everyone deals with situations and handles things differently. For those of you who have not gone through this ordeal, how would you react to all of the sudden waking up and finding out you were paralyzed? What sort of things would go through your mind? How would you handle it? I know it's hard to imagine unless you're actually in that situation, but try to put yourself there.
Now I want you to imagine a different scenario. What if you knew you were going to become paralyzed before it happened? Again, how would you handle the news? How would you prepare? What things would you do before it happened? I brought this up because there is someone out there who knows they are going to become a quadriplegic on a vent but doesn't know when. It is a very different situation. In my case I just woke up and found out. I didn't get a chance to prepare or figure out what things I needed before hand. Then again I don't know which would be better. It's a lot to think about and imagine.
Don't feel obligated to share your thoughts. This was just to get people thinking. If you'd like to, you can leave a comment. I would love to hear what you have to say. Also, feel free to comment if you have gone through one of these situations.

Think about It
I called this post Think about It because I'm going to ask a bunch of real-life questions and I just want people to ponder for a moment. Something that I wonder is what you would do if you were in my situation. Everyone deals with situations and handles things differently. For those of you who have not gone through this ordeal, how would you react to all of the sudden waking up and finding out you were paralyzed? What sort of things would go through your mind? How would you handle it? I know it's hard to imagine unless you're actually in that situation, but try to put yourself there.

It really is an impossible thing to imagine. I can't even begin to comprehend all the little things I take for granted that being paralyzed would prevent.
As an example, I have a bad lower back. Every once in a while, I'll tweak it in such a way that it's not just painful but it literally limits my ability to do simple things, like stand up normally, pick something up, walk (without a slow hobble) etc.
It goes away in maybe a week, gradually getting better after a few days. But every now and then while it's hurt, I'll kind of forget that it's hurt and go to do something "normal" and ARGH!?!
At that point I realize something I've taken for granted.
I have a question, though: what do you mean that you know someone who knows they are going to become a quad on a vent, but doesn't know when? What type of situation is that?

I think we can think as long and hard about this as we like, but we won't know how it would affect us unless it actually happens. Personally, having a spinal cord injury has not exactly been one of my greatest fears, as it probably won't happen and has never happened to anyone I know, but it has been one of the things I imagined would distress me the most; besides the loss of independence (assuming it was as at as high a level as yours), there is the matter of whether I'd be able to enjoy intimacy with a woman (not that I've had much of that the last 10 years anyway!), something which is less of a problem for women and particularly those with incomplete SCIs who actually manage to find a partner (I know many don't). I know that sounds petty, but it's important to a man. I also know I would dread the long hospital/rehab stay, the surgery which might make any SCI worse, and the uncertainty about whether I could go home or into "a home", and what I might find there; once I was home, I expect I would end up spending most of my time doing the same two things I do now, with a bit of help: writing and reading stuff on the net, and reading the paper over a coffee in Kingston! That's probably one way of saying I should get out more.
My absolute worst fear in life is nothing to do with any disability; it's being trapped in an abusive situation, and this largely stems from my experience at a 'special' boarding school in the early 1990s. I was quite surprised when I read three different quads compare their situation to prison, and two of them in particular mentioning The Shawshank Redemption, a film I found too distressing to sit through. The guy in that film was getting raped repeatedly and was surrounded by criminals and hostile guards who beat him to a pulp when he complained, rather than people who loved and cared for him.
As for the situation of finding out I was going to become paralysed, I could do with knowing more about this person's situation, such as what medical condition they have and whether they are already disabled to one degree or another. I'm not sure what difference the vent makes - after all, is being an incomplete C1/2 quad on a vent any worse than being a complete C3 quad without one who can't feel anything below their neck? I would certainly be making preparations, such as adapting my home or looking for a suitable alternative; if I could afford to, I'd be making sure I did things I wanted to do and went places I wanted to go while I still could, and meeting old friends and family that I hadn't seen in a while. I do love walking in the hills, and I would make sure I did plenty of that, and not just looking at them from the car window!
One thing I do know is that it's a very unpleasant prospect for many people, particularly those with MS and motor neurone disease and other such conditions. We have had two court cases in which people with those illnesses (Diane Pretty and most recently Debbie Purdy) have tried to get the law changed so that their partners could help them kill themselves if it all got too much. There was even a case a few years ago in the UK where a lady who had been through exactly what you describe took her hospital to court to get her ventilator switched off. The judge agreed with her - of course, the judge has to uphold the law - although said she personally wished the woman wouldn't go through with it, but she did anyway. Personally I'd rather be alive than dead, but to people who don't believe in an afterlife, it's difficult to persuade them of that.

Definitely true about people taking for granted what they have. That's one reason I did this post. If it hadn't happened to me I don't think I could imagine what it would be like or how I would deal with it. I had a hard enough time figuring that out when it happened.
Finding someone has always been on my mind. I don't know of many people who would choose to be with a quad.
As for the person who knows they are going to become a quad (whose name I will not reveal) they have a benign tumor on their spinal cord from C1 to C6. They will eventually need surgery to remove the tumor which will inevitably damage the spinal cord, most likely leaving them paralyzed on a ventilator.

Please tell your friend to read this article, by Victoria Brignell. She became paralysed at the age of six from exactly this condition. She is paralysed from the neck down with feeling in most of her body, and was on a ventilator for a while, but came off it within a year.
Crip's Column: Anniversary
I contacted the author through Facebook, and she replied, although after several weeks. Perhaps you should write her and put her in touch with your friend.

Hi there,
Also, I thought you might like to read a recent blog post I made which touches on some of the issues raised here. It's inspired by a news story last week about the tragic death of a mother and her disabled daughter in England, but diverges into people's attitudes towards disability and the disabled:
Disability and Brutality

I think there's a whole mess of answers out there for both sides of that argument. Some straightforward ones and some weird ones i'm sure but I think one of the best answers for being with a quad would be a soulmate kind of connection thing.

for a normal person, it would be quite impossible to imagine how and what to react when he/she wake up and find themselves paralysed but i think they will feel y must it happen to them, feel is end of the world and what are the things they unable to do anymore... For myself who is a complete C1-2 patient and dependent on a vent like jenni, i have gone through this process... when i woke up and find myself paralysed neck down, i felt like it is the end of the world for me esp i cant move anything from my neck down anymore.. alot of things went through my mind and i was depressed for quite some time. is really something not easy to cope with..
as for the other scenario, if i knew i going to become a quad and depend on vent, i will try to do as much things that i like as possible and prepare myself for the day to come. at least i can have some time to handle the news and accept it.. this is better than waking up 1 day and find yourself suddenly become paralysed

Talking about anticipating becoming a quad, I thought I might share this article I found in the Guardian on Monday, in which a comedian called Charlie Brooker writes about having a needle stuck into his spinal cord via his neck.
It sort of reminded me of how low-level quads hate being told they're not quads because they can move their arms. This guy pushed the bar even higher, expecting to end up like the guy who wrote The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I don't know if your friend with the tumour will find this amusing, but I did.
- September 25, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Gosh, now there's a question and a half!!
I feel absolutely certain I would struggle to cope and accept the situation if I woke up paralyzed. I live a totally independant life right now and to suddenly find myself totally dependant not only on people but on machines as well would be very very difficult. You have no idea how much I admire you Jenni, but I sense it must not have been an easy road for you to get where you are now emotionally.
I think that knowing in advance would be terrifying. As much as I like to think I should use the time I have with an able body to do as much as possible, in reality I would spend so much time in counselling I'd never get anything done! I think if it has to happen to me then sudden would be best, I would never cope with the fear of the unknown and I don't think all the time in the world would be enough to prepare for the inevitable. No, knowing about it would not work for me at all.
As for finding a man, well I'm 37 and I haven't managed that yet so I already know how that feels. As the years tick by and I watch my chances of having my own family disappear, I am experiencing a whole range of emotional issues I never imagined I would feel. It's one miniscule part of life you and I share - knowing it's not impossible but having to accept it may not happen. Me due to my age and you due to your situation. I hope with all my heart that it happens for you.

With the resignation of David Park I have decided to discontinue this blog and start a new one. I invite you to follow "On The Grind" at alvinsanders.net which focuses on leadership and multiethnic ministry.
Category Archives: Uncategorized
Greatest Hits Of 2011
I thank you for following both David and I as we rant(!) about the state of Christianity and reconciliation. I have been truly blessed with the response we have received since starting the blog earlier this year. Here are our 10 most viewed blog posts of the year in case you missed them. I wish you a blessed 2012 on this last Friday of the year!
10. How To Be Right And Wrong At the Same Time
9. One Christian Response to Osama Bin Laden
7. Halloween Reconciliation Style
6. Do You Care Where Rob Bell Goes When He Dies?
2. Bamboozled
And The Winner Is…
At the CCDA 2011 National Conference in Indianapolis last week, we rolled out some new conference duds and instead of handing out cheap conference swag, we decided to give you folks who care about compassion, justice and reconciliation who took the time to visit us in our booth and subscribed to this blog a chance to win a new iPad2. That's right, and since it's coming out after the latest iOS5 updates, it will be a pretty nice addition to anyone's technological palette. That's how we roll here at Samaritan Way.
And for those of you who scoff at the notion that anyone with an iPad 2 could seriously embody the work of reconciliation, here are ten ways the iPad can help you do some good in the neighborhood.
- You can carry an entire library of resources in your hand with the Kindle app. I'd recommend John M. Perkins' library for immediate download. 🙂
- Take notes of your neighborhood survey with the Evernote app. You can type or audio record them.
- Organize multiple schedules on the go with iCal.
- Calculate the interest payment of a loan with powerOne Financial Calculator app.
- You can take pictures with the built-in camera for your board or your newsletter.
- Then write that newsletter with Pages. Or use it to preach from. I've been saving paper this way.
- Present your pitch with Keynote to attract donors or to tell your stories.
- Accept credit card payments with the Square app.
- Extend your desktop monitor with the Splashtop app.
- Finally, invite the neighborhood kids to play Air Hockey with you. Trust me, they flock to this like nobody's business and it gives you the chance to interact with them.
Building Authentic Community
Where are you in the process of building authentic community?
I personally know these stages though I never had language for them. But here it names places where my church has been and is. The problem is that it feels so often that the church stays at the level of pseudocommunity. And yet in order for reconciliation to happen we need to get to at least stage 3. Wouldn't you agree?
Blessing the Mess – Part 3
When we watch the news and see stories of "ethnic cleansing," or hundreds of people in a sweatshop being drastically underpaid for their labor; or when we look at a history book and see that once upon a time the U.S. government allowed the enslavement of a group of people based on their African heritage, we cannot forget that the root of these events is spiritual. Psalms 2:1 asks, "Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?" The quick answer is because they are in sinful rebellion. But that is not God's desire. We see His desire in Genesis 12:2-3 in His promise to Abram (Abraham):
I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. God's desire is a unified people, bringing blessing to all. Yet to receive the promise of God, Abraham must immigrate from Haran to Canaan. It was God's idea.
The tangible blessing does not come overnight. After Genesis, the story expands beyond individuals to the complete sum of Abraham's offspring, which eventually become known as the nation of Israel. Eventually the Israelites themselves immigrate to Egypt. In Exodus we see the pitting of nation against nation as a contest between gods. For example, the famous plagues of Exodus 1-12 were each a contest between the God of Israel and one of Egypt's gods. When God rescued the Israelites, He delivered the message that the God of Israel is the sovereign God over all, regardless of your cultural family.
Israelite immigration led to switched spiritual allegiances. Consider Joshua 2 and the story of Rahab; read the story of Naomi and Ruth in the Book of Ruth; ponder God's message to the Israelite captives in Babylon found in Jeremiah 29:4-7. Throughout the Old Testament the message to the Israelites was clear: Through your lives you will declare the glory of the one true God to those who don't know Me; and through this declaration, they will come to Me.
In the New Testament the apostle Paul makes clear to the Galatians that they began their relationship with God the same way Abraham did: by faith, not ethnic lineage (Galatians 3:6-9). Abraham's real offspring are those who have faith in his God. The redemption of Christ permits all to enjoy the blessing of Abraham (Galatians 3:14). If people want to know God, they need not seek out Israelites and convert to Judaism. That was the old paradigm. We are now told to receive the promise of the Spirit and form communities of Spirit-filled people. These ministry communities are the primary vehicles for the nations to know God.
The stress of the New Testament is toward a community of people making their presence known by living differently as the people of God in their geographic region. As they do this, the people (both native and immigrant) of their region will know where to look for God. You can find an example of these ethical encouragements in all of Paul's writings to churches.
No More Strangers
In my home state last week, the governor signed House Bill 87 or the Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011, and I have such mixed emotions about it.
My emotions got a little more complicated yesterday.
Every few weeks, a Brazilian couple comes over to my home and helps us keep it clean. Over three years, my wife and I have gotten to know them a bit better and have heard their story. The woman has been through a lot and has fended for herself most of her life. While I don't know all the details, I know that she was in an abusive home and that she has been on her own since she was a teenager. The man, though not her husband, is her partner in the housecleaning business. He believes in Jesus, but he has told me that she doesn't like to hear about him or the church.
In recent years, I know that she has been wrestling with Grave's Disease, which has caused her eyes to swell, so much so that she has had to seek complicated surgeries to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. In order to pay for them, she has had to work unceasingly, cleaning houses everyday in a declining economy. She drives around to any part of Atlanta where a house may be cleaned; she cannot afford to choose her clients. Her car bears all the scars from the commutes. One of the front headlights is held in place by blue painter's tape and the tires are bald. Also, if you should look close enough at her passenger door, you see indentions all along the top as if someone had been trying to break in. It made me wonder how safe her apartment complex is.
Yesterday they came and cleaned like so many weeks before over the last three years. I thank them with the only Portuguese words I can say with credibility, "Obrigado~ moito obrigado. Tchau."
They called me a few minutes after leaving. The neighborhood police had established checking everyone at a stop for licenses and identification. She had none. They took her to jail. He was frantic. We returned to my home so I could gather money for bail. Then all of his emotions came rushing out: How she pays for her family back home; how she needed to get care for her thyroid; how hard-hearted she had become over the years of working her fingers to the bone; how she felt Christians talked too much but were untrustworthy; how she felt all alone; how working with her had become so hard; how he had begged her to let him drive; how frightened they were of the immigration laws.
We visited the county jail next, where we were told by the police she would be held, with its concrete walls and metal doors. They don't allow phones in the building any more. They make you take numbers even when no one is being served at the window. Nobody smiles inside. And we waited for almost forty-five minutes to speak to someone.
We went straight to the bonding center, passing the doors for domestic violence and theft. And we passed them on our way out because they couldn't accept payment for a different municipality's bond until that town's office had closed for the day. So we went to the town's city hall down the road and asked to pay the bond, but the paperwork hadn't come in. The clerk told us that we could simply pay after the office closed at 5pm.
So we went back to the bonding center at 5, to be told that they wouldn't accept our payment for the bond because her fingerprints hadn't come back for identity verification. When would they come back, we asked. Within 24 hours, they said. How will we know it's back, I asked. We'll call you, they said.
They had not called this morning. So I called them. The fingerprints had come back, but now she was on "immigration hold."
The man and I went back with an immigration lawyer once again to the jail's bonding center. Pay the bond first in the town where she was arrested, we were told.
On the way there, I asked the lawyer what he thought about the passing of HB87, and he said, it was one of the saddest days he has ever seen in Georgia. He called it a travesty and a tragedy and a dark day.
After spending the day with him, I would have to agree. The days have grown darker here in Georgia.
A Prayer for Japan
There are some lines of this prayer that ring prophetically eerie in light of the recent tsunami, but still I found it somewhat redemptive and do share in this prayer for Japan.


text: The small or near-zero band gap of germanium found by supercell local density functional treatments causes difficulties in the study of the properties of charged defects in Ge. Here, we use large H-terminated Ge clusters together with a non-linear core corrected (NLCC) Ge pseudopotential to explore the structure, vibrational and electrical properties of the vacancy-oxygen complex (VO). The cluster possesses a gap sufficiently wide to contain defect related energy levels, thus allowing us to model the three charge states of the defect. The local vibrational modes (LVM) calculated for the neutral (VO0), negatively charged (VO-) and double negative (VO=) defect are 602, 684 and 694 cm- 1, and can be favourably compared with experimental values of 621, 669 and 716 cm- 1, respectively [Markevich VP, et al. Physica B 2003; 340-2, 844-8]. Using substitutional gold (Aus) as a marker defect, electric levels of VO are found at E (-/ 0) = Ev + 0.30 eV and E (= /-) = Ec - 0.29 eV, in excellent agreement with the respective experimental enthalpies for hole and electron emission Δ Hh (-/ 0) ≃ 0.32 eV and Δ He (= /-) = 0.26 eV, respectively. Finally, the migration, dissociation and reorientation energies of the defect are also reported.

I have installed Elgg, played with it, read through much of the documentation, and installed a number of plugins. I also installed the LoreaHub theme, which I kind of like. But I would like to make some adjustments, and I just can't seem to quite wrap my head around what the documents are saying to do - ie they will say "edit the section where it says..." without saying the section of which file in which plugin.
So, I would appreciate any pointers as to which files to edit, and how, in order to accomplish the configuration I want.
1. Using the Elgg Community site as an example, there is the toolbar across the top for logged in users, then a text menu, and then three tabs for Home, Plugin, Discussion. How might I go about creating/displaying these additional menus?
2. How do I set up a frontpage like the Elgg community?
3. The actual Lorea Hub site (https://hub.lorea.cc/) has the tool bar active for guests, with Login as the only option. How does one do that?
4. If I want to set up a separate page for register/login information so the login box does not take up real estate on the frontpage, how?
A general help page on finding the right file is here: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/How_do_I_find_the_code_that_does_x%3F
You'll want to make your changes through plugins so upgrades can be easier.
A lot of the changes you are looking for require knowledge of the views system (see Elgg Docs wiki).
There is a plugin that comes with Elgg called custom_index. You could start with that to build a custom front page.
Thanks Cash - I have the custom_index module, and I get that I need to make the changes with the plugin. My question really is can anyone point me to a step-by-step for doing any of the things listed above? As a complete newbie to Elgg (but not to coding - I have been doing that for over thirty years), I need a few concrete examples to get a sense of what code to put where, and where I can find a list of specific commands, and how to call widgets etc.
Throughout the docs I see the phrase "use a plugin" frequently - which may be clear to experienced developers, but to us noobs it's like giving directions by saying "use a car" :-)
If I can get started, I am more than happy to document to process and add it to the tutorials.
Hello Ed, I will give a short guide,
Thanks - I am using LoreaHub theme, which I could edit to suit my needs (when I can figure out how...). If I use theme for the changes, do I still need the custom_index plugin? Can that functionality be built in to the theme, or would the theme be for tab/menus, and the custom_index just for the front page?
You need to enable the custom index, and override its view in your theme by creating a folder called mod/yourtheme/views/default/canvas/layout/new_index.php. Place your theme under the custom_index plugin then.
Okay, you lost me completely. But let me play a bit and I'll come back with more questions.
@Ed - try following this page in the Elgg documentation: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Overriding_a_view
Copy the view php file from your theme rather than from the core. Put the plugin after your theme. In the view file, add something like this:
<div id="sub_toolbar">
My new toolbar
Security issues should be reported to firstname.lastname@example.com!
