Wynyard Quarter
August 29th, 2011
Over the weekend we had some amazing weather so I decided to visit the new waterfront development in downtown Auckland. Its called Wynyard Quarter and links up with the old Viaduct Harbor via a nifty drawbridge. I was hugely impressed with this area and its great to have it all finished in time for the Rugby World Cup. Here are some photos I took, more can be found on fivedollarsteak.
Well done Auckland!
For Sale
August 23rd, 2011
Unfortunately the time has come for me to sell the RX7. Over the last 12 months I have had the luxury of a company car but that will end soon and this just isn't practical enough for me to drive everyday. Please have a look at the auction here and pass it on to anyone you think might be interested. I'd love for it to go to a good home where it will be used more than once a month!

I think this is the first time I have posted music on here. I wouldn't normally do it but I really like this song. I have been into hip hop for as long as I can remember but have been slowly moving away from it as more and more new junk is produced. This however, is not junk. Its gone a long way to restore my faith in hip hop post 2001. The video is pretty rad too!

Dr. Mehra's research involves representing diversity and intercultural issues in library and information science and furthers social justice and social equity agendas to meet the needs of minority and underserved populations. He primarily teaches courses on information organization and representation, public library management, collection development, resources and services for adults, diversity services in libraries, and grant writing for information professionals.
Broadly Dr. Mehra's research philosophy and teaching practices bring in a deeper understanding of the users and their social and cultural contexts (including socioeconomic and sociopolitical factors) into library and information science education. Specifically his work has focused on community informatics or the use of information and communication technologies to enable and empower communities to meet their needs and expectations. This has involved creating awareness of social justice and social equity in the information professions and developing supportive community information systems for representing the needs of minority and disenfranchised populations. Dr. Mehra joined the SIS faculty in January 2005 after completing his dissertation entitled "The Cross-Cultural Learning Process of International Doctoral Students: A Case-Study in Library and Information Science Education" from the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His recent work on user-centered design, community development, and socially grounded methods has been published in peer-reviewed journals including The International Information & Library Review, Library and Information Science Research Electronic Journal, New Media & Society, First Monday, UCLA Journal of Information and Education Studies, International Journal of Progressive Education, Journal of the Community Development Society, and the Journal of the American Society of Information Science and Technology.

First off big thanks to everyone here for all the help.
I am still preplexed by a low PSI reading but the detective work continues.
Anywho I want to experiment with adding salt to my pool to get some of the benefits of salt water but not yet ready to go to the SWG side of life.
So if a pool owner wanted to start down this path what should he do?
What is the minimun amount, and should I build from here?
How does this effect chemicals?

Skip to comments.Real Clear Politics again shows its bias toward Romney
Posted on 12/18/2011 2:29:14 PM PST by Future Useless Eater
click here to read article
Contracted consultants work for their clients. Freddie and Fannie were Gingrich's clients and he worked for them, that's why they paid him over $1 million.
I'm getting dizzy from the Gingrich supporters spin.
Since 1999 through 2007, Gingrich was talking up the value of Freddie and Fannie, a time when anyone with a brain could see that they were destructive to our economy. During this entire time Gingrich was also receiving money from Fannie and Freddie.
In 2008, Gingrich bad mouthed Fannie and Freddie. In 2008, Gingrich's 8 years of getting paid by Fannie and Freddie had ended and he no longer received money from them.
These are the facts, interpret them as you will.
Wrong. Employees of companies receive benefits, have the company pay half their Social Security, etc.
He was a contracted expert.
And you honestly think that a contract with a company would permit that contractor to voice criticism of a client?
Even baseball players' contracts don't permit that.
Exactly my response. I don't know why the two polls were excluded from the RCP average, but there are plenty of possible reasons besides pro-Romney bias. Even if you include those polls they just change Gingrich's current margin over Romney from 8.0 to 9.8. Big deal.
He was a contracted expert.
And you honestly think that a contract with a company would permit that contractor to voice criticism of a client?
Even baseball players contracts dont permit that.
You destroy your argument with your own words. No one said Gingrich was an employee of Freddie/Fannie, he worked for them on contract. Get it? Worked for them.
The whole point is that Gingrich did not say anything about the damage Freddie/Fannie was doing to our economy, even though he must have known, unless you think he was stupid. On the contrary, he was praising them. Why? As you pointed out, because he was getting paid by them. Nothing illegal about that, he could have been working on contract for Planned Parenthood, another enterprise that damages our Country, and it would still be legal. However don't be surprised when someone asks why didn't he warn us about Fannie and Freddie, why did he try to make us think they were valuable organizations, and his answer is "because I was getting paid by them and and do you honestly think that a contract with a company would permit that contractor to voice criticism of a client?"
That's excellent and enlightening considering the "influence peddling" attack from Bachmann in the last debate.
ever notice that they ignored Gingrich when he wasn't the front-runner? They first slimed Palin, then went after Cain and now Gingrich?
RealClearPolitics is a GOP establishment organ.
Naturally that thing is going to cover for and push Romney.
Get a grip.
Ubama and the rats want no mention of Fannie/Freddie. They can't believe the Republicans haven't done a more effective job of tying that disaster around the rats' necks. Sure, Dodd and Frank were told to take a hike because of their insidious collaboration with Fannie/Freddie, but the rats don't want to lose any more. Additionally, the specter of Franklin Delano Raines (one of Holder's people) still looms large. The rats definitely don't want anybody reviving that guy's story.
Do you understand the difference between an employee and a contractor?
Is it reasonable that your lawyer would turn against you in public while working on a case for you?
I'm surprised at those who cannot understand the obligation to support your client, when they understand it so easily when the conversation is of lawyers.
Lawyers have no obligation to "support" their clients. They have a responsibility to represent their clients legal position within the bounds of the law. Lawyers who make public appearances claiming their clients innocence are acting as a "mouthpiece". There's a big difference.
Gingrich publicly proclaimed the value of Fannie and Freddie in 2007, a time when he had to have known it's precarious position. He didn't do this as a "historian" (did he really believe people would buy this?), he did this as a hired gun. The money was more important to him then telling the truth to the American people. If he did, much of the tragedy of the collapse of our economy might have been avoided.
Yep, this is a great record to run on.
Actually, I've seen lawyers on TV doing public relations for their clients, trying to paint the most favorable image of them possible. That is a fairly standard expectation, I think.
That does not mean that behind the scenes the lawyer isn't disagreeing with some things and agreeing with others.
I'm surprised that people are upset that Newt made money off of F&F, but that other businessman who do virtually the same thing (advertising agencies, for example) can make millions doing the same thing, and that's just fine.
If you learned that some ad agency had a 200 grand per year contract with F&F, would it bother you? It wouldn't me.
No one cares about the money. Newt didn't tell the American people the truth about Fannie and Freddie. Instead he he tried to convince the American people that they were valuable institutions when he new otherwise. Whether he got money to do this makes no difference. He was not honest with the American people and it could very likely have contributed to the hundreds of billions in losses to our economy. Doing this only to make money makes it worse, not better.
Fannie & Freddie were a business. They bought mortgages from banks/brokers. They wouldn't have been able to do that if it weren't economically viable for the banks/brokers to dump the mortgages. That way they didn't have to service them all those years.
They had a market niche, and in that sense, they were valuable. I've probably had 4 mortgages in my life, and all except this most recent was sold. The small country bank I'm with right now likes to service their own.
I thought you understood, many of the mortgages Fannie and Freddie bought were no good, and they knew it, and Gingrich admitted that he knew it. The taxpayers have had to bail them out with tens of billions of dollars. Instead of Gingrich telling the American people of the huge liability Fannie and Freddie had become, he instead decided to publicly promote them, for money.
That's just part of his history that he has to live with.

'Clucking Chickens' Hoop - Green
I don't know about you but I love watching chickens, they're forever pecking, clucking, scratching...
The chickens on this smaller hoop are made from vintage floral fabric sourced in France, and appliqued onto green floral fabric printed in the heart of the Welsh countryside.
The embroidery is done using a
basic sewing machine fitted with an embroidery foot to 'draw' freehand
straight onto the fabric with black thread. I simply move the fabric under the needle.
Your hoop will come creatively gift wrapped so you or the recipient feel super special!
Mounted on a 4"/11cm embroidery hoop (made in Britain) - see last photo for hoop size comparison. Ready to hang.
Made to order - estimated dispatch time: 3-4 working days.

EMMC has the only Photopheresis treatment service north of Boston.
Photopheresis is a progressive form of immunotherapy. It is used to treat Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) and can be used to control Graft-Versus-Host disease, organ rejection after heart, lung, kidney, or bone marrow transplantation. It can also treat several autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS). The preliminary therapeutic results are very encouraging for a larger use of photopheresis in the treatment of T-cell mediated diseases.
During photopheresis, blood is taken from the patient and processed through a cell separation machine. This machine removes and treats white blood cells with a special UV photo light and specialized medication, and then returns the white blood cells and the rest of the blood into the patient's body.
A series of treatments is usually required before symptoms are reduced. For these patients, photopheresis treatments are the only way to help restore their body's natural ability to maintain a balanced immune system.

Google is reported to be working on a content streaming technology to rival Apple's AirPlay. Having already integrated video and audio sending abilities to its YouTube app for Android - which will "send" a clip to your Google TV set or set-top-box - Google is to explore more extravagant wireless functionality.
Speaking to GigaOm, Google product manager Timbo Drayson said that the YouTube Google TV compatibility was simply the first step in company plans. "We really want to move the whole industry forward," he explained.
Drayson also explained that the software giant was working with device and audio equipment manufacturers in order to unify the Google system as an open standard. The company was "actively working with other companies", he said.
Of course, Android devices are already - on the whole - DLNA capable, which allows them to talk and stream content back and forth among similarly capable devices. However, it is believed many consumers still find this confusing and that a single platform would help them identify which of their devices can talk to each other through a single badge.
And, as Drayson pointed out, the more companies that jump on board, the better.

I hope that you and your children enjoy this journey with Johnny Appleseed. No storybooks will be necessary to accompany this unit since I have included an interactive storybook/workbook for you to use to learn the folklore surrounding Johnny Appleseed.

Under blue skies and trees donning fall colors, more than 50 people gathered in Rocca Park in Jamestown to dedicate the Blacksmith Shop/Museum and other park improvements.
Tuolumne County supervisors were there, local dignitaries, Sonora Lions Club members, sheriff's deputies and members of the public.
Supervisor Karl Rodefer welcomed the crowd, saying this was "not a county project. This was a community project" and that "it is and will be a community success."
Stephen Willey spoke on the history of the project. Jim Gormely, the team leader, recognized the project committee and said "businesses, organizations and citizens of the community made this a 'we' project."
As many as 100 people volunteered time and money, he said. Gormely noted the project has ADA-compliant sidewalks and a ramp.
Six people were given certificates of recognition by the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisor: Jim Gormely, Brian Kermeen, John Viglienzoni, Joe Sparagna, Mick Grimes, and Stephen Willey. The ribbon was cut by Gormely to cheers and applause.
A plaque was unveiled that will hang on the blacksmith shop.

All the vitality and sparkle of the Terry Gibbs Dream Band is infectiously conjured up here. Spirit is the key word: it is certain that the essence of jazz captured in Gibbs albumsLaunching a New Band, and Swing Is Here!has everything to do with the jazz nature of the musicians involved, and their unwavering loyalty to the idea of this big band, with Gibbs, the focal point, bringing all his musical effervescence to bear on these exciting performances. The penchant for Woody Hermans groove is apparent, and traces of Basie crop up from time to time in the clean, precise and powerful treatment of deftly written charts played with the emphasis on heat and swing. And they remain equally rewarding on all levels.

-Swing is Here!
"The title Swing Is Here would have been more appropriate for the 1930s instead of 1960 when this album was originally issued, and the big-band era had long since waned. Yet vibraphonist Terry Gibbs kept the home fires burning out in California with this exceptional orchestra of cool jazz giants playing a stack of standards and modern compositions by Bill Holman or Gibbs, and one look back with an Artie Shaw number. What is most interesting about these arrangements is that they are always different in emphasizing the fleet, dampened sound of Gibbs in contrast, apart from, or in tandem with the woodwinds and brass instruments.
They also never get in each other's way, making for some delightful tonic music-making that reflects both the dance tradition and more modernized precepts of big-band music. Reflecting the style of the Count Basie band with a big helping of Woody Herman or Stan Kenton, the band leaps into "The Song Is You" as Gibbs plays the first melody line, then the band takes over, while the opposite ploy is utilized during "Dancing in the Dark." Holman's originals "Bright Eyes" and "Evil Eyes" are different from the rest and each other, the former a lively bop chart with jumping counterpoint saxes and brass, the latter led out by pianist Lou Levy and the horns, with Gibbs holding up the rear guard of the band. A 12-bar blues, "The Fat Man" has, over time, become a favorite Gibbs composition covered repeatedly by his bands, and here is the original recording. "It Might as Well Be Swing" is a cleverly modified title from the standard "It Might as Well Be Spring" but is closer to Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll" in its elegant, sophisticated imagery. Claude Debussy's "My Reverie," on the other hand, dismisses its composers early morning visage for a classic jazz sound that is truly the epitome signature style Gibbs portrays. The Artie Shaw tribute to Boston "Back Bay Shuffle" has drummer Mel Lewis codifying and extending Gene Krupa's bompity bomp rhythmic dance remarks in a danceable yet enlivened manner. There are some extraordinary musicians in the band, such as trumpeter and ostensible leader Al Porcino, "second" trumpeters Conte Candoli and Stu Williamson, trombonist Frank Rosolino (listed third on the depth chart), lead alto saxophonist Joe Maini, and Bill Perkins, and Med Flory on tenor saxes. Gibbs plays a lot on this album, a testament to his tenacity as a unique voice on his instrument, and a good example of how this well-defined music refused to die even though it fell out of favor due to sheer economics."

By Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A Fairbanks-area man convicted of plotting to kill federal judges and other government officials was sentenced on Monday to nearly 26 years in prison, while his wife was sentenced to 12 years for her part in the conspiracy.
Lonnie Vernon, 57, a member of an anti-government group called the Alaska Peacekeepers Militia, was convicted last summer of conspiring to murder federal and state law-enforcement agents, judges and other officials and of amassing an arsenal of illegal weapons to carry out those plans.
In a separate case, Vernon and his wife, Karen, pleaded guilty to plotting to kill U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline, members of Beistline's family - including young grandchildren - and other government employees in retaliation for the judge's rulings on the couple's income tax case.
When the two were arrested in March of 2011, they had weapons and a Fairbanks map with homes of Beistline's family marked and routes to those homes highlighted.
Lonnie Vernon, a member of a "sovereign citizens" movement that considers individuals to be separate nations, spoke out angrily at the hearing, where he received combined sentences in both cases against him.
In sometimes profanity-laced comments, he railed against the prosecutors, the agents who investigated him and even his own public defenders, and he said he did not recognize the judge's authority over him.
Attorney M.J. Haden, who represented him, said the defense was disappointed at the sentence. She said she was not sure if Vernon's courtroom outbursts had affected the outcome.
"I can say it probably didn't help," she said.
Karen Vernon, in contrast, was tearful and apologetic at her afternoon sentencing hearing and said she never meant to hurt anyone. "I also apologize to my family and friends for the shame and embarrassment that this has caused," she said.
U.S. District Judge Robert Bryan, who imposed the sentences, said the Vernons' crimes had been grave.
"This was a most serious offense. It was a conspiracy, I'm afraid, that was well on its way to possible conclusion, with horrible results," Bryan said.
Also convicted at last summer's trial were two of Vernon's co-defendants.
The militia's 28-year-old leader, Schaeffer Cox, was convicted of conspiracy to murder, solicitation to commit murder and various weapons charges. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday; prosecutors are seeking a 35-year prison term.
Militia member Coleman Barney was convicted at trial of weapons charges, but jurors deadlocked on a murder-conspiracy charge. He was sentenced in September to five years in prison, and prosecutors have dropped the murder-conspiracy charge against him.

Test Reviews
MINOX ZP5 5-25×56 Reviewed by Rifletalk, Canada
Being lucky enough to own some nice scopes presents a real First World Problem because it becomes harder to be super-impressed with new scopes that come along. Occasionally, however a scope does present itself that makes me say wow and the Minox ZP5 is one of those scopes so for those who like a short read, you can stop here. For those who want to find out why I say the Minox ZP5 is a wowzer please read on. (Click on the pic)
MINOX ACX 300 Action Camera - Hard Core Test!
The MINOX ACX 300 Action Camera offers up to 3K video resolution and up to 120fps at lower resolutions for slow motion. Small, tough and versatile, this video camera is built to capture any dynamic expression: it is ideal for saving our sporting and hunting actions, with Minox quality at an affordable price
Review: MINOX MD 80 ZR Spotting Scope for sport shooters
The MD 80 ZR by MINOX is a spotting scope that was developed specifically with sport shooters and law enforcement in mind. We took a closer look, putting the scope through its paces on the shooting range. The video gives you the low down on the features and specs, as well as how well it works specifically for sport shooters.

Field Trialling the MINOX DTC 390 Wildlife Camera by TETRIX Ecology
Wildlife cameras are rapidly gaining in popularity as a valuable tool for passive wildlife monitoring. As a professional ecologist, its easy to see how they could be used for ecological monitoring, for example, determining occupation of a badger sett or otter holt, or even establishing the presence of rare species, for example, the Scottish wildcat. Clearly the value of a wildlife camera stems from the fact that unlike a surveyor, a wildlife camera can remain in the field for days, weeks, even months in some instances.
It was during a recent training and networking event in Perthshire, that we finally gained some initial hands-on experience with camera trapping for pine marten and Scottish wildcat (see our blog from 8 March 2017). So, with our curiosity suitably piqued and recognising the onset of a busy survey season, where such a tool could add value to our services, we made a decision to speculatively invest in our first wildlife camera. However, with a veritable buffet of cameras to choose from, we initially struggled to sift our way through the various options and features on offer from a wide range of manufacturers.

Article Title
Aiming High: Foundation Support for State Advocates Brings Universal Children's Health Coverage Within Reach
Key Points
To help close the children's health insurance coverage gap in the United States, in 2011 the Atlantic Philanthropies created the Kids- Well Campaign. KidsWell's theory of change posits that if advocates could leverage new funding and coverage opportunities created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, they could expand the number of children with health insurance coverage.
This article presents the major results of the KidsWell evaluation, which found substantial progress in achieving KidsWell interim policy changes and coverage outcomes. But advocates still have a full agenda, which means grantees and funders need to redouble efforts to educate the larger field about the type of advocacy that can legally be supported by funders, the gains in children's coverage achieved in part with such support, and what remains at stake for children's coverage.
While other funders may not be able to make investments comparable to Atlantic's, advocacy networks and capacities have already been built and valuable knowledge has been gained through the KidsWell effort. Funders could target future investment to states and activities needing a short-term boost to exploit windows of political opportunity or to fight threats to children's coverage. Such support is still needed to continue momentum toward universal health insurance coverage for all children.

new iPad WIP (Multi iPad!)
This is the same test telePort Scene as the last couple of Soundcloud posts, but this time it is to give a new WIP view of the iPad App! Quite shaky and unprepared but I had an extra iPad to complete and test multi-iPad functionality only for one weekend, and found it deserved a little video!

Few collaborations create such a stir as H&M and whichever big designer label they are partnering with this time round. The annual catwalk meets high street partnership has taken place again; this autumn H&M and Kenzo have joined forces. The combination of the very exceptional and classic garments of Kenzo with the ever popular and more modestly priced H&M make for an irresistible mix. This one off partnership ensures that every item in the collection will be special and, as Kenzo's designers Carol Lin and Humberto Leon stated, "create a once in a lifetime experience".
Lin and Leon have continued to push the boundaries with this latest offering to their customers by making people take risks with what they wear, as opposed to playing it safe. They wanted a diverse collection and in this they have certainly delivered. Instead of approaching the biggest, most powerful women of the catwalk (last year Jourdan Dunn and Kendall Jenner fronted Olivier Rousteing's Balmain Nation campaign to great success) Lin and Leon have recruited super model Iman Abdulmajid and actresses Chloe Sevigny and Rosario Dawson, as well as rapper Suboi and hip hop artist Chance The Rapper. Kenzo and H&M have certainly put forward a diverse line-up, demonstrating that the collection is about more than what lies on the surface but instead is looking to make a deeper, more serious connection with its buyers.
With the most recognisable face in the line up, Iman carries the campaign. Her awe inspiring career in fashion has spanned three decades. Now retired and in her sixties, she is still a firm favourite with both Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Her close connection to the brand and the eminence of its designs in the fashion world made the decision for her to be the face of the campaign an obvious one.
The collection is a mix and match of colours and patterns, giving the line a fun loving, youthful appeal. The prints-on-prints effect of tiger stripes and leopard spots against the brilliance of an 80s inspired colour palette provides a particularly eye catching design. Royal blues, vivid greens, bright pinks and reds are given a new lease of life when added to loose fitting, casual items such as jogging bottoms and sweaters. Knowing the success of H&M's previous partnerships, this will truly be one to watch.

Don't you think that's just the slightest bit strange?
It has to do with who runs the planet. Rex Mundi? Remember? Washington laid out like a Mason's wet dream. The alchemical symbol for gold a couple of blocks from Ye Olde Whyte House.

Tsk, tsk. You apron-wearers are a testy bunch. Nobody made any threats, so put your little white gloves away.
I merely point out the fact that strange things happen in this neighborhood and they seem to happen when you step on a Mason's bunion. Ordinary folk slide right on by but, boy, annoy the Masons hereabouts and THE HOOF COMES DOWN.
It's supernatural, what happened to me, and only a Mason could have done it. That's plugged in.
You fellas are sitting on the wrong lap for Christmas.
This literally has nothing to do with worship in a lodge, why would you even bring that up as your first point, or any point at all for that matter? It's about whether or not a Mason can believe in a certain something, and worship it. That's personal to each individual.

Fact is that we don't worship in Lodge. Fact is that if you do believe in Satan, he was created by another and thus not a Supreme Being.
While I know plenty of Masons of various beliefs the Constitutions of several Grand Lodges we've linked have clearly stated Freemasonry as an institution believes in one God. Everything we have posted you have twisted around to suit yourself. Even my own Code & Digest you twisted as if you knew more about it than I.edit on 25-11-2012 by KSigMason because: (no reason given)

How would you know which Lucifer I worship? Oh you don't. All I've ever said is Lucifer is the supreme God.
You do not speak for a Grand Lodge, or any lodge. Stop pretending as if your point of view is over others, and others are lesser than you. Sure it does, and so does the 'regular' brother's belief.
All regular Masons are required to have a belief in a Supreme Being, i.e. God, and the planet Venus, whom the Romans refered to as Lucifer, certainly does not qualify.

Whose historical Lucifer yours?
Not really you posted some Grand Lodges but this does not make it universal nor any more correct with the belief of having a creator god in a monotheistic sense with your obviously Christian proclivities.

He has Risen! Now what can we do? It's safe to say that some can experience a spiritual high after being reminded of Christ' death and resurrection. It's celebration of the forgiveness of our sins as well as the tomb being empty. Jesus had the power to rise from the dead. In Christ, this power is how we overcome the world around us as well as serve the heartbroken people we encounter. It's easier to know what to do as a follower of Jesus once you know who you are as a disciple of Christ.
"You are the Salt of the Earth." This is what Jesus calls his people… salt. He tells us this in his first sermon. At this point Jesus' followers are gaining in number. He had performed some miracles and the people are starting to believe that He is the Messiah who has come to save them. After all the "blessed s" in the beatitudes, the first words Jesus uses to tell us who we are are…. You. Are. The. Salt. Of. The. Earth.
To the crowd of people Jesus was speaking, this was really significant. Salt was very valuable. It was used as a preservative. They would rub it into meat to preserve it. You might have heard the phrase, "worth your weight in salt." This constantly reminds me of how I am supposed to live my life as a follower of Jesus.
If I am salt, then I should be in the world. Not only should I be in the world, I should be so close to the world that I am "Rubbed" in it. Preacher man reminded us yesterday, that sometimes we want to stick our heads in the sand and ignore the big bad world around us. I get it…it's scary out there. You feel unqualified and completely unprepared.
This is the biggest lie Satan whispers to the church. He puts so much fear in us that we forget what we are really here to do; shine the light of Christ into a broken world. After Jesus tells us we are the salt of the Earth, He says, "We are the Light of the World."
I find the order of these descriptions interesting. He says we are Light AFTER we are Salt. We can't shine the light into the world if we aren't involved in it. Another misconception that people have is that darkness is half way around the world. Let me be the voice to tell you it is right next door.
It's the lady at the grocery store who is deeply depressed and feels invisible. It's the lady in your small group who is so overwhelmed she cries all the time. It's your friend who carries the burden that her husband is an alcoholic, or addicted to porn, or physically abusive in secret. We are surrounded by hurting people. Don't feel powerless in these situations when they come to light! We are the carriers of Jesus Christ, period.
Jesus just wants our Yes. He will equip and prepare us in each moment through the Holy Spirit. If you know about the ugly in people's lives, it's because God has positioned you in such a way to shine truth into the situations. Don't shy away from speaking truth or giving hope due to fear.
Remember that you are a solution. Yes, you! You are salt and light. Because of Jesus, you are the hope of the world. Pray that God removes whatever fear is keeping you from serving others around you. God loves us so much that He allows us to be a part of what He is doing in the world. Let your light shine, friend!
I didn't start really knowing how powerful the Jesus was in me until I started serving others. Jesus does what He says He will do. Jesus want us to see Him for who He is. Jesus empowers His disciples so that we can be used to glorify His name.
Remember who you are because of Easter and walk in that obedience. It's where joy is found. I can't stop listening to Lauren Daigle's song, Salt and Light. The lyrics are my prayer for every eye who reads this.
Let my eyes see Your kingdom shine all around.
Let my heart overflow with passion for Your name.
Let my life be a song, revealing who You are
For You are salt and light.
Help us to be Salt and Light in your name.
In Jesus' name Amen.

, who will likely be looking for a starting pitcher this offseason. Wedding Invitation Suggestions Which Are Non Conventional If you are preparing to get married and also you want to allow everybody know but you don't necessarily want to deliver out a traditional wedding invite. If this sounds a lot like you, what other options are there for allowing the world understand that you're getting married?
For that non-traditional bride, right here we have gathered a number of different ideas. You can nonetheless allow everybody know are obtaining married without having to send a traditional wedding invitation.
EvitesDigital Wedding ceremony Invites
Why don't you go paperless with you invite. Evites are definitely not the standard method of inviting your visitors to attend your wedding ceremony but could be a large amount of fun in addition to extremely cheap. You'll find that there are lots of websites that will allow you to produce your Evite at no cost and they will let you send it out for your family and friends for $10. That is way less cash than the average price of a conventional wedding invitation that will be around $300. The upside to an Evite is you can add audio for your invitation as well as a video if you want.
Puzzle Wedding Invites
Sending your friends and family a jigsaw puzzle with all of your wedding ceremony information around the back again is a distinctive method of inviting your wedding visitors. It adds a level of fun for your invitation and gets your visitors engaged. For partners who are searching for the unique, a puzzle is not the cheapest option but it is does offer a great answer.
Video clip Game Invites
Yet another idea in the event you and your fianc? are into video clip video games would be to have a video sport produced for you personally. You will then have your video game unlock different pieces of knowledge concerning the wedding as your friends and family make it through the different ranges of the game. In the event you believe this is a route which you would really like to go you with you will need to make certain you have lots of time do so. There are companies out there that can create you your own customized games however it may take them a while to complete so. So if you are in a hurry this isn't a choice which will work for you.
Printed Wedding Invites
You nonetheless don't have to be traditional even when you decide to use a printed invitation. You can produce everything from Vegas themed wedding invitation to a Halloween invitation. There are many different websites online which will allow you to add your personal pictures as well as choose your personal color schemes. This may permit you to produce nearly anything you want which means you aren't stuck inside the traditional wedding invitation box.
All of these ideas are just a place to begin for you personally. Don't feel like you have no other choice other than to go with a traditional boring wedding invitation. The sky is the restrict and a wedding ceremony only occurs once so make sure that your unique day has your distinctive design and flair to it. Marlins Will Attempt To Extend Stantons Contract - RealGM Wiretap
The Miami Marlins plan to make a legitimate run at extending Giancarlo Stanton this offseason, according to reports.
Miami is serious about not only building around Stanton, but also supplementing the roster with a top-flight starter this winter.
The Marlins could increase their payroll to $75 million for the 2015 season

Tigers Rangers View Castillo As Weapon In Pennant Race - RealGM Wiretap
Rusney Castillo is considering Major League offers and could make his debut this season, according to sources.
The Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants are dealing with the Cuban outfielder with urgency because they view him as a weapon as the postseason nears.
Castillo has also drawn interest from the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners.

Below are the rankings through the Sunday, July 8th games: The rankings from last week are in parenthesizes. 1. (1) New York Yankees - 4.23 They have a seven-game lead in the AL East. At this time last season, they trailed the Red Sox by a game. 2. (2) Texas Rangers - 4.20 Josh Hamilton has slowed down, but still has a line of .308.380.635 with 27 home runs and 75 RBI, both baseball bests. 3. (3) Washington Nationals - 4.08 This may not seem true, but the Nationals are fourteen games up on the Phillies in the NL East. 4. (4) Cincinnati Reds - 3.93 Joey Votto is raking

, but has not gotten much attention -- .348.471.617 with 14 home runs and 48 RBI. 5. (5) St. Louis Cardinals - 3.84 They are averaging 4.95 runs and have an OPS of .775 without Albert Pujols. In 2011, St. Louis scored 4.7 runs per game with a .766 OPS. 6. (6) Los Angeles Angels - 3.83 Mike Trout could become just the third player, and first since Ichiro in 2001, to win both the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards in the same season. 7. (T11) Pittsburgh Pirates - 3.57 It would take a pretty drastic collapse for the Pirates to finish below .500. 8. (T11) Detroit Tigers - 3.56 They have.

Camera policies held up by privacy, litigation concerns
Providers acknowledge both potentially negative and positive implications of allowing cameras resident rooms.
In the battle of pros and cons for placing cameras in resident rooms, the potential negative legal and privacy implications are winning out with most providers, new research shows.
Skilled nursing and assisted living providers are most concerned that operating cameras in rooms will violate the privacy of residents, their roommates, facility staff and visitors, according to preliminary results of an ongoing, voluntary survey conducted by Brown University researchers.
"This survey reveals that a large minority of nursing center and assisted living respondents are aware of cameras in use in resident rooms. Most believe that privacy is at stake, and many envision potential positive effects," wrote lead researcher Clara Berridge, Ph.D., M.S.W., in a column for McKnight's Senior Living
Many survey respondents expressed reservations about legal implications if camera footage were misinterpreted.
Undermining resident and staff trust, demoralizing staff, and fear over ensuring that the video feed is secure were less common concerns.
Providers said some of the potential positives of cameras include: help investigating complaints and peace of mind for family members.
Respondents also said the cameras could be helpful in determining the cause of falls, gauging resident behavior and monitoring staff performance.
About one-fourth of the 228 respondents said they allow families to place cameras in their loved ones' room, with 1 in 6 saying at least one family installed a camera.
Fewer skilled nursing providers said that they allow cameras, with just 7% of skilled facilities reporting allowing cameras, compared to 40% of assisted living facilities.

When the original Xbox launched back in the early 2000s, it carried the stereotypical American mantra that "bigger is better". The console itself was huge and so was its controller. Nicknamed the 'Duke', the controller was astonishingly big when compared to the average controller size. This was later rectified with the launch of the Xbox S controller which was primarily targeted at Japanese players (due to their smaller hands), but many people preferred the smaller controller.
Seamus Blackley, former Microsoft employee and co-creator of the OG Xbox was also not a fan of the Duke. He actively spoke against it, but that was frowned upon by his colleagues. He recently Tweeted some pretty harsh words towards the controller and explained how it came about:
The guy in charge of the controller picked a vendor that couldn't make the electronics small, so they made the design huge to fit around it. https://t.co/vjEDKGNoEF

The Dreamcast was our favorite console at the time, and it had a big controller that docked a tomagachi. So that made it seem less insane! https://t.co/WwFQ8q6QRO

The Japanese were alarmed by the huge controller; the feedback was taken and the team did an amazing job shipping the smaller version https://t.co/vgY2mpreKP

Sorry to vent about Duke, it's just that I took such a volume of shit about it back in the day, I need to let go! https://t.co/ilnHZCejPg

Microsoft definitely improved their controller design with the Xbox 360, which is considered to be one of the most (if not the most) comfortable controllers ever made. Microsoft even took it a step further with the Xbox One controller, which made millions of dollars of R&D pumped into it.

Victor Hugo once said, "No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come." Redgum's goal is to help you make your software ideas a reality. The following is a brief insight into how this process works.
The process and methodology behind the way we work
The most powerful contribution Redgum can make to your software project is when you're still forming your ideas. Redgum's extensive experience allows you to bypass many of the initial missteps that happen in software development, providing you with insights on how to refine (and sometimes redesign) your business and operational model. In addition to providing the technology that underpins your software, Redgum can also provide additional insights into legal, security and IP issues that you may not have considered.
Once you have settled on the software, business and operation model you want to progress with, the next step becomes high-level design. This is where Redgum utilises their proprietary Redprint™ software design and management solution. Redprint™ is a design environment that allows the entire project management team to walk stakeholders through the proposed solution. Redprint™ creates visibility around the software design process, by providing screen views, reports and easy to understand workflow processes. This creates a more inclusive environment where stakeholders can contribute to the design before money is invested on programming.
One of the main reasons software projects stall is because no one is quite sure where to start. The first 2 stages provide you with a priority list of where you need to make your initial investment. The Agile Detailed Design and Build stage allows for priority software assets to be built in short cycles. These short cycles allow projects to build momentum in line with available resources. This approach also makes it more practical for projects to adapt to changing environments or demands, as well as take products to market faster.
Research indicates that 66% of software projects experience cost and schedule overruns.* This outcome is avoidable, with proper planning and management. Redgum provides you with Redprint™, a solution designed to provide you with complete control over your investment. Redprint™ and the Redgum team ensure your system is properly maintained and continues to evolve to meet your needs and the needs of stakeholders. This is all made possible with the support of a large team of local, highly qualified and experienced developers who are committed to your projects ongoing success.

All of us need beauty around us. We need adventures to excite us, and family or friends to love us. At this point in my life, I just hope I can help others through transitions...
Grosse Pointe, MI (PRWEB) July 09, 2014
The Cadieux Farmhouse is the last remaining example of French frame architecture from the ribbon farm era, built by Detroit's French Canadian settlers, the Cadieux family.
Today, July 9, 2014 9am to 11am, you will see it slowly roll down the streets of Grosse Pointe to it's new home. Beaumont Hospital Grosse Pointe needed to move the historic home to make room for it's expansion. French and English speaking psychologist Dr. Leslie Kaye (http://www.lesliekaye.com) was midway through an around the world trip when she heard about the home. She visited Tahiti, Moorea, Hong Kong, Cambodia. Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia, Turkey, Kenya, South Africa, Argentina, and Brazil 2013-2014. "Still, there is no place like home!" she says. "This little house has completely captured my imagination and has done my heart so much good! It gave me a reason to come home."
In 2009, Dr. Leslie Kaye had it all: a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, a McGill Montreal General internship, a two year Harvard Medical School fellowship. Over seven years she built a booming psychology practice and the hospital she worked with wanted to triple it. She had several college teaching gigs. She was President of Detroit's International Institute Board of Directors, had a yacht at the Detroit Yacht Club that she had once lived aboard, and owned a large riverfront home in Windsor that she loved. But when the man she loved proposed, asked that she come away with him to Florida, and promised that she never had to work again, she left to do volunteer work with her church and marry.
But in 2014, she needed to start over. "Rebuilding is hard. I've helped many clients start over. But this time it was me."
Dr. Kaye will restore the home as her own healing project. She is working on a self help book, and will lead small groups on healing journeys, next to Machu Picchu in 2015. She will relaunch her psychology practice locally and online worldwide. This time it will focus on the arts as a healing medium, in addition to her regular clinical practice. Dr. Kaye spent many years as a professional actress and artist before becoming a psychologist. In February 2014, she had the opportunity to do art therapy with the Masai girls at risk in Kenya before going on to South Africa where she was moved by the peace work of Nelson Mandela. In 2013, she became certified in Social Economic Environmental Design in the Public Interest Design training program at Harvard Graduate School of Design. Her new practice will incorporate "House Calls" in a television pilot with client homeowners, like herself in transition. Working in a new branch of her field, Design Psychology, it helps clients create beautiful homes that are healing environments, rooted in their environmental genealogy. Contact her if you would like to be considered for this program.
"All of us need beauty around us. We need adventures to excite us, and family or friends to love us. At this point in my life, I just hope I can help others through transitions, whether it's helping them find their own "historic house to move" or something like it, or to have the courage to voyage somewhere they have always wanted to go. I hope to help people re-imagine their lives, through personal growth, healing journeys, the arts, and psychotherapy. I am so happy to help preserve this home, as part of our saving our heritage and for my own personal journey."
If you would like to work or travel with her, you can reach Dr. Leslie Kaye at 313 978 7792 or email her at leslieannkaye(at)yahoo(dot)com.

My painting Lychee Cocktail will be featured on the cover of the Multi-Ethinic Literature of the United States (MELUS) Journal.
AboutI am a Korean-American painter living in New York city. I started this blog as a food blog, intending to share recipes (often requested by friends, as I am known to be a pretty good cook among my friends) and occasional restaurant reviews. As many of my Korean friends point out, all Koreans are obsessed about food (including me). I love shopping, making, looking at and reading about food, too. Food is my porn. Even my art is about food. Over the years, however, the blog evolved into sharing more of the things that interest me at the moment; classical music (especially opera), theater, books, French language, political and cultural ideas, and of course, food. I am also writing about the exhibitions that I am involved in as well as other exhibition reviews. In the end, I hope that I am showing my engagement as an artist with the society and the culture in general. Hopefully, some of it interests you, too.

I wanted more about the people, less about Mr. Scheenbaum
Linda Linguvic | New York City | 01/17/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Originally released as "Once I was a Cannibal", this is a documentary about Tobias Scheenbaum, a 78 year old gay man, who traveled to New Guinea and Peru in the fifties and has some weird and wild tales to tell. Mr. Scheenbaum lives in Manhattan, gives lectures about his travels at museums and tourist ships and has written several books about his experiences. Now, filmmakers David and Laurie Shapiro have created this film which has won several awards among independent filmmakers. They travel back to New Guinea and Peru with him and the audience sees that many of the people of these regions remember Mr. Scheenbaum with affection. One of the New Guinea men used to be his lover. Then, they travel back to Peru, where Mr. Scheenbaum recalls going on a hunt with the tribesmen that resulted in murder and cannibalism. And, yes, he did sample a bit of human flesh. Mr. Scheenbaum is articulate and witty and a good storyteller. He's speaks openly about his homosexuality and there is a lot of introspection about his experience of cannibalism. He's written several books on the subject and we see film clips from excerpts from talk shows he's been on through the years. While I found the movie interesting, I had a big problem with it. It's all about Mr. Scheenbaum. It's not about the people of New Guinea or Peru. I guess I was hoping for an anthropological film. I wanted to know more about the tribe in New Guinea than the fact that Mr. Scheenbaum had male lovers. I wanted to know what the meaning of cannibalism had in the rituals of the people of Peru. I wanted to know about both these tribes' religious customs, marriage rituals, burial practices, etc. In short, I wanted to take my own trip into the rainforest and learn about the way of these people.Alas, this was not to happen. This was a film about Tobias Scheenbaum and his own filters through which he viewed his experiences. It's all about him, not the people he came in contact with. And that, to me was the weakness of the film. I just wish that some filmmakers would want to do a film about the fast-disappearing non-literate cultures of the world without making it a celebration to the enlightening experiences of an American. There's stuff out there about the real people in New Guinea and Peru that is indeed worthwhile to film. This is a not a bad film for what it is. There's nice film footage of New Guinea and the rainforest. The documentary techniques are professional. And the viewer comes away with some insights into the persona of Tobias Scheenbaum. But I cannot hide my disappointment in wanting something more."
Intriguing Story of One Man's Love of Primitive Cultures.
mirasreviews | McLean, VA USA | 07/21/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"In 1955, Manhattan artist Tobias Schneebaum traveled to Peru on a Fulbright scholarship. He visited a remote Dominican mission, where he allowed curiosity about the local tribespeople to lure him into the jungle. He spent seven months in the jungle with the Amarekaire people (now called Harakambut), who were cannibals, and was presumed dead. But he emerged from the jungle no longer interested in an artist's career, deciding to pursue anthropology instead. In 1969, he wrote a book, "Keep the River on Your Right", about his experiences in the Amazon jungle. Schneebaum went on to live among the headhunting Asmat of New Guinea, as well. The extraordinary thing is that these cultures accepted him. This film tells the story of Tobias Schneebaum's unusual adventures in his own words and takes him back to Peru, at the age of 78, to find the tribespeople whom he had not seen in 45 years.
It's difficult to know how to rate this film, because it is a poorly crafted film about an interesting subject. The film's nonsensical organization obstructs most of the narrative. Its camera work leaves something to be desired. "Keep the River on Your Right" starts out in the present, then flashes back to some point in the recent past when Schneebaum visited the Asmat people in New Guinea, with whom he had lived in the 1970s. Then we learn about his life as an artist in New York. Then about his childhood. At the film's halfway point, we still have no idea where his infamous Peruvian adventure, from which the film takes its name, fits in or how Schneebaum came to be such a dogged adventurer. The second half is better. Schneebaum returns to Peru at the filmmakers' urging to recount his experience of 45 years before and to search for any Amarekaire who might remember him. Returning to scenes of past trauma, film crew in tow, has somehow become fashionable among documentary filmmakers. Tobias Schneebaum is a mild-mannered man who is afraid of dead mice but fearless among cannibals and headhunters who were strangers to him. His story is interesting, even if "Keep the River on Your Right" makes it difficult to follow.
The DVD: Bonus features include deleted scenes, a photo gallery, sketches by Tobias Schneebaum, a "Jungle Journey" book excerpt, a Tobias Schneebaum biography, and a bio of the filmmakers. There are 9 deleted scenes, most of which are not actually new scenes, but slightly more footage of scenes that were in the movie. They're not worth watching. The Photo Gallery features 10 photographs, some of which are of Schneebaum in his youth before he went to Peru. "Jungle Journey" is a children's book written in 1959 by Mary Britton Miller, inspired by Schneebaum's jungle experience, which he illustrated. A few pages of the book are included. The bios are text."
Amazing experience
Chris Luallen | 12/10/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"What a wonderful film by this brother-sister team - especially deserving of its many awards. (I think they won the Independent Spirit Awards best documentary, because I recall seeing the directors on that show.) Tobias schneebaum is truly an extraordinary man - and this reverse journey from his present to his past is sort of a reverse odysessy. The previous reviewer is missing the point - this film is not about indigine=ous peoples or anyone else - its about one man - and the directors have him in practically every frame - a wise choice. Only a few people could keep my interest for the length of a movie. Exceptional."
Retracing steps
E. L. Weinhold | Maryland, USA | 03/23/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The filmmakers trailed Tobias Schneebaum, an artist turned anthropologist, back to the villages and lands where he worked over 40 years ago. It was fascinating to retrace Schneebaum's steps through Papua New Guinea, as well as the in the jungles of Peru. I was amazed at the courage and strength of a man in his 70s climbing Machu Pichu, and braving the rainforests of New Guinea in order to find old friends.The talk show footage from the 1960s/1970s was particularly interesting to me. The talk show host was very interested in the aspects of this "primitive" culture, and persisted with prejudiced questions. Mr. Schneebaum spoke for the people he studied, and helped people understand that they are no different. One qualm I had was the movie's subtitle: A Modern Cannibal's Tale. I felt that it was not a major part of the movie, and that the directors made a big deal out of it. Was it for marketing: Cannibals always sell? I do not think that a few isolated incidences of cannibalism make someone a life-long cannibal. It was silly to even put the word in the title. The movie offers so much more."
