Gas Fireplaces
From chilly fall evenings to the coldest winter nights, there is nothing better than a fire to warm your home and soul. Traditional wood fireplaces are great for this, but require tending to and more maintenance. Today's gas fireplaces are a great alternative to their traditional counterparts and much more realistic than in years past. They display realistic fires complete with glowing embers and ceramic-fiber logs molded from real logs and can be connected to a remote control or thermostat.
Gas only fireplaces are available as fireplace inserts and as built-ins. Insert gas fireplaces involve converting an existing wood burning fireplace into a gas fireplace by literally inserting a new and modern unit into the old. The insert will have its own chimney system which runs through the pre existing chimney.
Built-in gas fireplaces involve creating a new fireplace where one doesn't yet exist. These require a structure to be built around the fireplace. The structure can then be fitted with rock, mantel and even entertainment systems.
A third and more economical type is the gas log set. These are simple burners placed into an existing wood burning fireplace that has been plumbed with a gas starter line and topped with ceramic logs. Gas log sets are quick to light, low in maintenance and are available in many sizes, shapes and colors.
Gas fireplace design is dominated by direct vent chimney systems. Gone are the open B-vent style fireplaces that produced poor fire displays. A direct vent gas fireplace uses double-walled chimney pipe to vent through sidewalls or roofs without the need for a traditional chimney. The fire-chamber is completely enclosed and covered with a sealed piece of glass allowing the chimney system to draw combustion air in from one chimney wall and expel used gases out the other. This creates a very flexible and efficient system that can be placed nearly anywhere in your home or office.
Ethanol Fireplace Alternatives
In recent years, there has been a push for the development of more environmentally-friendly fireplaces. Ethanol gel fireplaces are one of the results of this quest. Ethanol doesn't release harmful fumes when burned and can be enjoyed without having to provide ventilation or worry about the environment.
Ethanol is clean burning and provides a nice, realistic crackling noise when burned along with no cleanup or mess!

چکیده انگلیسی
Public apologies are one of the most prominent examples of migration of speech acts from the private to the public sphere and now commonly feature in a wide range of public and media settings. Judging by the last two decades, the act of public apology is clearly in the process of social change, although perhaps more particularly in English-speaking cultures. The paper inscribes itself in a growing and vigorous literature on public apologies and public apology processes and aims to reveal public apology felicity conditions as represented by newswriters. Their scripts reporting what successful public apologies are or should be are therefore investigated using a corpus of over 200 apology press uptakes (reactions to public apologies in the press or 'metalinguistic discussion', Davies, 2011) taken from popular and quality British newspapers spanning a one-year period (207 articles). A smaller comparable French dataset (61 articles) is also included for contrastive purposes. Explicitly evaluative metapragmatic comments identified in these two corpora of apology press uptakes are the main source of data. The apology felicity conditions identified in the discourse of these comments in the British press are presented in the form of a 'model'. The latter is interpreted in the light of Olshtain and Cohen's widely-recognized apology speech act set (Olshtain and Cohen, 1983 and Olshtain, 1989).

The Concept Of "Accepting Christ As One's Savior"
I believe Christians believe that one must accept Christ as one's savior in order to get into Heaven. I ask, what about the people that were born and died before Christ was born? Were they doomed???

A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss???
In my entire life I've never seen a stone roll on its own free will. Therefore, I doubt the saying is even true. I speculate that whoever first coined that phrase, simply assumed it was true, and never actually observed it to be.

Animal Love
Why does it seem that at least domesticated animals seem to love people more than they do their own kind? We have two cats, and one of them would lay all day long on the wife on the recliner if she could. I never see her snuggling up against our other cat like that. They barely notice or react to each other.

It is March and that means that my birthday is just around the corner. When I was getting close to my thirtieth birthday, I was not happy and really focused in on the things that I hadn't accomplished. I felt like I hadn't done anything with my life. Almost a year later and a little more perspective I realize, I have accomplished quite a bit.
- I am married to an amazing man, and I know what it means to be in a truly loving relationship.
- I have a great career and really enjoy my job. (In all honesty, I did not have this when I turned 30, but I do have it now.)
- I have a Master's degree and have completed the course work for my PhD.
- I have a loving family and I really understand how important they are in my life. I have run a marathon and 3 half-marathons. (Again, two of these came after my 30th birthday)
- I have traveled to Europe a couple of times.
When I step back and take a look, I have accomplished a lot. I may not have as much in my savings or retirement accounts as I would like, and we haven't purchased a house, but I have done more than I realized. My 31st birthday is on its way and instead of focusing on the things I haven't done, I am going to focus the things I have done.

It gave me the idea for today's Shakespeare Idol.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the most amazing delivery of - To be or not to be - of them all?
First up:
Mel Gibson
Our second contestant:
Kenneth Branagh
Next, let's welcome:
Laurence Olivier
And for our final contestant, let's bring out:
David Tennant
And so, dear readers - who is the most amazing Hamlet? What say you?

Drs Nicolas Renier and Zhuhao Wu are post-doctoral fellows in the laboratory of Marc Tessier-Lavigne at the Rockefeller University in New York where they have co-developed methodologies to develop new imaging techniques applying light sheet microscopy to the study axon rewiring in adult nervous systems. It is hoped that this could lead to an understanding as to how experience or even pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease modify the way the brain is wired.
Two great advantages have been behind their motivation to use the LaVision BioTec UltraMicroscope: high speed and large fields of view. For neuroanatomy, most of the time, users want to look at large regions, up to 1 cm wide. Also, there is the need to image a lot of samples to get statistical significance, so a very high acquisition speed is required. To date, they feel this is the only microscope on the market that can do that so far.
2-photon microscopy is sometimes used for volume imaging when the need is to go to higher magnifications, and confocal or epifluorescence microscopies are used for classical histology done on sections. Talking about his use of the UltraMicroscope, Dr Renier says "This is the only microscope that has a built-in compatibility with the 3DISCO clearing method, which in our hands is still the best clearing method. The main strength of the technique is the ease of implementation and flexibility in sample handling. The speed also compares favorably to other methods. Lastly, the signal to noise ratio of Alexa dyes combined with 3DISCO clearing and light sheet microscopy is extremely high."
Asked how he sees the technique and methodology develop, Dr Renier says "We are now using iDISCO1 routinely in the lab for most of our projects. The technique has upgraded most of our histology assays and we now rarely section tissues anymore. We use the technique to study the trajectory of nerves in whole embryos, to count cell number in whole organs, to trace single axons in the brain. The technique can be used for large screens, thus enabling quick phenotyping of mutants, something that is usually challenging in mice. We are working on trying to take the technique beyond classical immunostaining. Volume mRNA in situ hybridization is an avenue to be explored. We are also looking at testing additional labeling techniques, including the use of llama b nanobodies and chemical tag based labeling."

How do you carry on, when you lose someone you love? Big Billy Brennan has suffered the greatest tragedy a parent can know – he has just lost his son. His family is reeling, and his marriage is a partnership in name alone. Billy is also obese: at nearly 30 stone, he can barely walk down the street without breaking a sweat. In his small Irish town, he can't escape his notoriety.
So Billy decides to take on the two things weighing him down – his grief, and his fat – and in doing so he's going to try to stop the terrible plague of suicide that is haunting the youth of Ireland.
Tackling the subject of suicide sensitively is so important, and Rohan does this incredibly well. Michael Brennan is just present enough and we don't get fed simple reasons for his suicide. Instead, he seemed happy. About to apply to uni, star of the local football team and popular. His parents don't understand what could possibly have made their eldest son go to such lengths, and Billy in particular blames himself.
The weight issue was tended to take over, though it was linked with Michael's death. Billy is a mess physically and emotionally, blaming his own father for showing little interest in him. When he suddenly decides that he's going to lose half his body weight for charity, it seems a little out of character but I went with it. His struggle to give up the vast portions of fast food, and the scenes where he struggled to walk a few laps of his own house, were poignant and I felt disappointed in Billy when he fell victim to temptation. I could feel the weight of the pressure that he piled upon himself by publicising his sponsored weight loss so widely.
I struggled a little more with the Brennans as a family. Billy seems to be set apart from everyone: his wife, his kids, his sister, his parents. As much as I appreciated the challenge of the weight loss more when he was up against it, I wondered at his wife's refusal to help. She carried on stocking the fridge with chocolate and unhealthy snacks, barely commented when Billy moved out of their bedroom into their dead son's (or when he moved back in). Tricia herself became little more than a foil to Billy's plans and her constant criticism began to irritate me. They never had proper rows either, just little sniping comments that began to wear me out as much as they did Billy.
Although the subject was treated sensitively, I felt that it was too tentatively explored and I wanted more impact. All in all, this was a decent story but not perfect and the ending fizzled out with no concrete conclusion.
I received a copy of this novel from Readers First in exchange for an impartial review.

Big Tex up and ready for 2017 State Fair of Texas
The big guy is up and ready to welcome people to the State Fair of Texas
Big Tex, the 55-foot-tall cowboy with his 95-gallon hat and size 70 boots, was installed at his usual spot on Friday morning in Fair Park.
Big Tex is wearing a special Texas Strong button for this year's fair to honor the victims of Hurricane Harvey. The fair said the same button Big Tex is wearing will be sold (a smaller, people-sized version, of course) for $2 at the fair with all funds going toward relief efforts.
This is the 65th year Big Tex will greet fairgoers and the fifth year for the current version of Big Tex. The previous Big Tex infamously burned down at the 2012 fair.
This year's fair theme is Celebrating Texans. Some notable concert acts at this year's fair include Flo Rida, Wilson Phillips and Charlie Daniels Band. The Big Tex Choice Award winners for food are the Gulf Coast Fish Bowl and the Funnel Cake Bacon Queso Burger.
The fair kicks off its three week run on Sept. 29.
BIG TEX IS READY! Watch workers install Big Tex for this year's State Fair of Texas, which starts in one week. pic.twitter.com/OrGTJZRnBz— FOX 4 NEWS (@FOX4) September 22, 2017

Blitz Torte (#TheLostFamilySupperClub)
As you may have noticed, the blog has been on an unanticipated hiatus! I will share a little more in a separate upcoming post, but I am honored to come back to you while participating in #TheLostFamilySupperClub celebrating Jenna Blum's new novel "The Lost Family."
"The Lost Family" is centered around restaurant owner, chef, and Holocaust survivor, Peter Rashkin, who lost his first wife and twin daugthers during World War II. Peter relocated to the United States and eventually opened up Masha's and then the Claremont restaurants. Peter's haunted past not only affects him, but also affects his new wife (June) and daughter (Elsbeth) in which the novel details each of their struggles which are all connected to Peter and his past.
When trying to decide on what to make, I wanted something that Peter may serve in his restaurants that either would be a nod to his German heritage or something to reflect what folks would serve when entertaining company. Looking at the Masha's menus, I was drawn towards Masha's Torte which was an inside-out German chocolate cake but decided against it because chocolate cakes are really finicky in New Mexico's high altitude. Then I settled on and originally made an apple riesling cake, which was a great idea but it failed miserably.
So I opened my grandmother's first edition copy of "Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book" which was published around the time of Masha's. (Ironically, "Betty Crocker's New Picture Cook Book" was also quoted in Jenna's novel.) I found a recipe for Blitz Torte or Lightning Cake which, when researching, is believed to originate from Germany or Austria and also become popular due to the very cookbook where I got the recipe! This was the recipe to make for this book! As soon as the cake came out of the oven, I knew this recipe was going to be divine and I had made the right choice. The cake layers were thin with a beautiful meringue layer on top with a luscious custard layer in the middle..
The cake is relatively easy to make and everything is made from scratch. The cake batter only takes minutes to prepare while the meringue takes a little longer but is extremely worth the extra effort. While the cake bakes and cools, you can make your custard, and when everything is assembled and complete, you have a cake that shines which Peter would be proud to serve in his restaurants.
Please try out this cake whether you want to impress yourself or others! And please check out Jenna's The Lost Family and #TheLostFamilySupperClub to see what other bloggers are contributing for her novel!
Blitz Torte
from Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook, 1st edition (page 231 and 232)
For the cake:
1/2 c. soft shortening
3/4 c. powdered sugar, sifted
4 large egg yolks, well beaten
1 c. all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. milk
1/2 c. sliced almonds, for sprinkling
2 Tbs. granulated sugar, for sprinkling
For the meringue:
4 large egg whites
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
For the custard:
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
6 Tbs. all-purpose flour
2 c. whole milk
4 egg yolks (or two large eggs), beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350F.
For the cake:
Prepare two 8-inch cake pans, by greasing bottom of pans, lining each bottom with parchment paper, then greasing and flouring the parchment and sides of the pan.
Mix the shortening and powdered sugar together thoroughly in a large bowl, then beat in the egg yolks. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until incorporated.
Split the batter between the two prepared cake pans, and set aside. The batter should be very thick.
For the meringue:
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy using the whisk attachment. Then gradually beat in the powdered and granulated sugar. Continue to beat the mixture on high speed 5-10 minutes until the meringue forms; it should be thick and shiny, forming soft peaks. (Note: you can also add in some cream of tartar if the meringue has a hard time coming together.)
Spread half the meringue over batter in each of the pans. Sprinkle the almonds and granulated sugar equally over the meringues.
Bake 35-40 minutes until the meringue is set and the cake is cooked. Set aside to cool completely. While the cakes bake and cool, make the custard.
For the custard:
In a medium saucepan, mix together sugar, salt, and flour. Stir in milk and cook over low heat until mixture comes to a boil, and boil for one minute. Remove from heat.
Stir in about 1/4 cup of the custard into the beaten egg yolks and stir well. Mix the egg mixture back into the custard and bring custard back to a boil. Remove from heat again, add vanilla, and cool completely.
To assemble:
Carefully remove one of the cakes from its pan, making sure to remove the parchment paper, and place it meringue side-up on a cake plate. Spread the custard evenly over the bottom layer of the cake. Then carefully remove the second cake from its pan, making sure to remove the parchment paper, and place it meringue side-up on top of the bottom cake layer and custard layer. Place in fridge until ready to serve.
Makes 8-10 servings.

Tonkatsu (#JapaneseHomeCooking)
This week, bloggers along with myself are celebrating the release of Masaharu Morimoto's new cookbook "Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking" with a #Japanese HomeCooking Blog Party, which is being sponsored by authors of The Book Club Cook Book.
Morimoto acknowledges that people are intimidated by Japanese cooking and provides tips and encouragement. Morimoto also provides some history of cuisine and his relationship with Japanese food. Japanese food incorporates different cultures into its cuisine and they love to do renditions of different types of food, which you can see reflected in his book.
I love that Morimoto shows his readers how to make the perfect white rice. Even though I'm nearly half Asian, I'm not that good at making rice. Until now. While I thought the secret was rinsing the rice until the water runs clear (which is part of it), I think the real secret is letting the rice dry out after rinsing and before cooking. I can now make a pot of rice that I can be proud of, which isn't mushy or sticking to the bottom of the pan!
While Morimoto considers rice to be a staple in his cookbook, I also would like to add dashi or kelp dashi as a staple to his cookbook. Several of his recipes use dashi, which only takes about 15 minutes to make and I'm looking forward to learning how to make it so I can make my way throughout the book.
For this post, I was debating between two recipes, tonkatsu or the Japanese-style curry, because both recipes bring back fond memories! But I ultimately decided on tonkatsu because of the ease of the recipe and lack of time as I was preparing to leave for vacation.
I grew up eating Japanese-style curry, which my parents used to make and Morimoto's recipe is nearly the exact recipe I grew up with. Because my dad is from Hawaii, he grew up eating this curry and so I grew up eating this curry. Hawaii, like Japan, is influenced by many different cultures in its cuisine. The only reason I decided against making this recipe is that it calls for curry-roux blocks, which contain wheat, and I did not have the time to make this recipe gluten-free before I left on vacation. I was able to find Japanese curry powder, which I plan on using to adapt this recipe in the future so that it's gluten-free.
Tonkatsu was my favorite meal while visiting Japan 10 years ago (along with Japanese ramen). My friend, Nicole, and her, now, husband, Lucas both lived there for two years and I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to visit them for a week and a half. They introduced me to tonkatsu my very first day and we ate it nearly every day I was there. The sauces were all slightly different, but my favorite restaurant was where we could choose the types of sauces and crush our own sesame seeds. You crush sesame seeds in this recipe, which reminds me of my visit to Japan. You can even provide your guests a mortar and pestle for them to crush their own seeds and add as many as they'd like! It's a simple interactivity with your food that makes it a little fun.
|Nicole and me in Nara, Japan (2006)
|Nicole and Lucas preparing their tonkatsu sauce
|Tonkatsu, one of our favorite meals in Japan
What I like about tonkatsu is that while the recipe itself isn't really versatile, you can use the fried cutlet in other recipes. Morimoto uses leftover tonkatsu in his Katsu Don recipe, which is a pork cutlet and egg rice bowl. And while I was in Japan, one of the restaurants we went to poured Japanese-style curry on the cutlet with rice instead of serving it with tonkatsu sauce. For this recipe, I used gluten-free all-purpose flour and gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and it was very successful!
Another recipe that is used throughout this cookbook is his teriyaki sauce. While Morimoto offers a traditional chicken teriyaki recipe, he also uses the sauce to make a chicken teriyaki spaghetti, steak bowls with spicy teriyaki sauce, chicken meatballs with teriyaki sauce, and slow cooked pork belly with beer-teriyaki sauce.
My only wish for this cookbook is that the steam and stir fry sections were a little bit longer because they only contained three or four recipes. But that's my only complaint, if that can even be considered a complaint.

Tonkatsu (Japenese Fried Pork Cutlet)
from "Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking" by Masaharu Morimoto, pgs. 215-217
For the cutlets:
Vegetable oil for deep-frying (about 10 cups-- I only used about 2 cups)
4 1/2-inch thick pork loin cutlets, preferably with fat cap attached
Kosher salt and ground white pepper
About 1 1/2 c. panko breadcrumbs (gluten-free panko works)
About 1 c. all-purpose flour (gluten-free all-purpose flour works)
2 large eggs, beaten
3 c. very thinly sliced white cabbage
lemon wedges, for serving
For the tonkatsu sauce:
1/4 c. toasted sesame seeds
1/2 c. seeded, cored, finely chopped canned whole tomatoes
3 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbs. ketchup
2 Tbs. molasses (not blackstrap)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste
For the cutlets:
Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a medium pot and set it over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350F on a deep-fry thermometer.
Use the tip of a sharp knife to score the cutlets, making about a dozen short, shallow cuts all over each side. This keeps the cutlets from curling when they fry. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Put the panko, flour, and eggs into three separate wide bowls. Working with one cutlet at a time, add it to the flour and turn to coat it, shaking off any excess. Transfer it to the egg and turn to coat, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, transfer it to the panko, turning to coat well and piling on some of the panko and pressing lightly with your hands. The goal is to get as much panko to adhere as you can. Transfer the breaded cutlets to a plate and repeat with the remaining cutlets. Discard any leftover flour, egg, and panko.
Soak the cabbage in icy water for 10 minutes and drain well.
Just before you fry, stir the oil well. Fry the cutlets two at a time, adjusting the heat it necessary to maintain the oil temperature and turning the pieces over occasionally, until the cutlets are golden brown and crispy, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and fry the remaining cutlets. Let the cutlets rest for a few minutes, then cut them into 3/4-inch slices and serve with cabbage, lemon, and sauce for dipping.
For the tonkatsu sauce:
Put the sesame seeds in a medium pan, set over medium heat, and toast, stirring and tossing frequently, until thy're a few shades darker, about 3 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl and let them cool.
Combine the remaining sauce ingredients in a small saucepan, stir, and set over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a simmer, lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors come together, about 10 minutes. Season to taste. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it come to room temperature. It keeps in the fridge for up to 1 week.
When you're ready to serve, pound the seeds to a powder in a mortar or grind them in a spice grinder and serve in a bowl at the table, instructing your guests to mix the paste into the sauce to taste.
Tonaksu makes 4 servings, sauce makes 3/4 cup

Skillet Cornbread with Chives and Brown Butter (#SoupSwapParty)
I decided to share a second recipe from Kathy Gunst's new cookbook, Soup Swap, which we are celebrating with the authors of The Book Club Cook Book and a #SoupSwapParty. I made this Sillet Cornbread with Chives and Brown Butter to go with her Corn and Sweet Potato Chowder with Saffron Cream and instantly fell in love with this recipe!
Look at those photos... What is that? Butter? Frosting? No, that is custard. And cornbread. A custard cornbread! That is what sold me on making this dish. The custard layer is created by pouring milk on top after the cornbread had been baking for a bit. As it continues to bake, a custard layer is formed and it takes on some of the sweetness from the sugar. This extra touch is so unique, I immediately went out and bought all of the ingredients for it, even though I already finished my shopping to make the soup.
I actually don't have a cast iron skillet so I improvised and used a baking dish instead and it still came out lovely. I added in my notes how to make this without a cast iron skillet. I also suggest using the full 1/2 cup of sugar instead of the 1/4 because I felt that the custard layer was a little better with the extra sweetness. I also substituted all-purpose gluten-free flour and it worked like a charm!
This recipe is one that I'll be making again and again and most likely will become my staple cornbread recipe. Make it! Now!!
Skillet Cornbread with Chives and Brown Butter
Slightly adapted from Soup Swap by Kathy Gunst
3 Tbs. unsalted butter
3 Tbs. fresh chives, minced
1 1/2 c. cornmeal
1/4 to 1/2 c. sugar (this recipe I feel works best with 1/2 c. because of the custard)
1/2 c. all-purpose flour (all-purpose gluten free flour works great here)
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c. whole milk
Position rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350.
In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat, melt the butter. As soon as the butter begins to brown, remove the skillet from the heat and add the chives. (I chose to do this in a small saucepan, then used a 7x11 baking pan to bake the cornbread. Please see my continued notes in parentheses for these adaptions.)
In a large bowl, whisk the cornmeal, sugar, flour, salt, and baking soda until well blended. Add the buttermilk and eggs and whisk to combine. Whisk in 1 cup of the whole milk. Add 2 Tbs of the chive-brown butter, leaving the remainder in the skillet (or in the saucepan), and whisk until combined. (If you browned your butter in a saucepan, pour the remaining butter on the bottom of your 7x11 baking pan, swirling to make sure the entire bottom of the pan is greased.) Pour the batter into the skillet and bake for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, pour the remaining 1 cup of milk on top of the break and bake for another 25 to 35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and firm. When you gently shake the skillet, the cornbread shouldn't wobble but it doesn't need to be bone dry when tested with a toothpick in the center. Remove and let cool slightly. Serve warm, with butter and honey if desired.
Makes 8 servings (depending on size of pan used)

I just watched the above speech made by President Barack Obama of the United States in Cairo (you can find the full text here if you prefer to read it) and was rather impressed by how Obama, one of the most eloquent and impressive political orator in this present age, managed to up the ante yet again. There has been numerous analyses of the political content of his speech so I shall not go there. What I am more interested instead is in the masterful way in which he embraced the art and craft of monumental speech making. Here are some perspectives on what we can learn from Obama's speech which may be useful to bear in mind if we ever address a crowd or are tasked to draft a speech for somebody who will be doing so.
1) Rigorous Research. The first point in monumental speech making is to ensure that one's facts and figures are in place. An example was this section made on the achievements of Islamic inventors and artists which contributed towards our progress:

What other types of technical assistance is available to communities?
CMAP offers technical assistance through their Local Technical Assistance (LTA) Program. For more information please visit www.cmap.illinois.gov/lta.
Who is eligible to apply?
Municipalities, counties, townships, councils of government / municipal associations, the City of Chicago, groups of two or more municipalities, and the RTA Service Boards (Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace) located within the RTA six county service area are eligible to apply to the Community Planning program. The RTA six county service area encompasses Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties in northeastern Illinois.
Projects that focus on transit service planning only are restricted to the Service Boards (Metra, Pace, CTA) only to apply. Municipalities interested in a transit service planning study for their area should contact the appropriate Service Board(s) to apply for funding.
How are Community Planning projects funded?
A variety of sources are used to fund the projects. RTA funds are used as the primary sources of funding for Community Planning projects. Federal Unified Work Program (UWP) funds, as well as other state and federal grants may also be used.
Is there a local match requirement?
A local match is not required for some small scale Community Planning projects, such as TOD zoning updates or developer panels. Larger transit-focused Community Planning projects, such as TOD plans or corridor studies will require a local match. Match requirements are based on the economic and demographic characteristics of the area served, with lower match rates for smaller communities and those with lower tax bases or median incomes. Match rates range from 5%-20%. Applicants will be notified if a local match will be needed prior to project approval.
How are project budgets determined?
Project budgets are set by the RTA during the project selection process based on the project scope and previous experience with similar projects and in consultation with the applicant. The "not to exceed amount" establishes the upper limit for the RTA's funding for the project. Each project's cost will vary depending on the scope.
What types of projects has the RTA worked on in the past?
The RTA has completed TOD Plans, transit improvement plans, corridor studies, TOD area land control document updates, developer discussion panels and transit access improvement studies. A full list of previously funded RTA planning projects may be found on the RTAMS webpage.
What projects are NOT eligible?
The Community Planning program is intended to provide planning and early implementation assistance. Project development work such as capital investment, engineering, operating, staffing, land acquisition, or equipment costs are not eligible for funding through this program.
Can I request money to cover staff time at my organization?
This program does not offer funds for staff time. Any financial commitment from the RTA is dedicated to hiring external contractors/consultants or providing RTA staff assistance.
Can I submit more than one idea?
You may submit more than one project proposal. Please submit a separate application form for each project idea you are proposing.
If I applied for Community Planning funding in past years and was not selected, can I apply this year?
Yes you are allowed to apply again. Please note that this year will be quite competitive, so an application that was not selected in a previous year is not guaranteed to be selected this year. Feel free to reach out to the RTA to discuss how you could improve your application this year.
If I have received assistance in past years, can I apply again?
Yes. The RTA encourages applicants to submit applications that seek to implement existing plans. You may also submit applications for completely separate projects as well. However, please make sure that your application doesn't duplicate work done in the recent past – it won't be selected if this is the case.
I am a nongovernmental organization, and would like to submit an application. How do I do this?
The RTA does not provide funding to nongovernmental groups, so please work with a relevant local government to have them submit an application on your behalf.
How competitive will the application process be?
The competitiveness of the program depends on the number of entities that choose to submit applications. The number of applications generally exceeds available funding, so the program is typically very competitive.
How is it determined whether my project is a Community Planning (RTA) or LTA (CMAP) project?
Once the applications are received, the agencies will discuss the alignment of the applications with each agency's interests. Projects with a direct transit focus are more likely to be a Community Planning (RTA) project; those without transit components will be an LTA (CMAP). You do not need to specify at the time of submitting the application whether you think your project is a better fit for RTA or CMAP – this will be worked out during the application review.
I submitted an application by the due date. What are the next steps?
Immediately following the receipt of all submittals, RTA staff will begin a review of the applications. While RTA staff makes the final project selections, staff considers feedback from all three Service Boards (CTA, Pace, and Metra) and other agencies as appropriate. During this time RTA staff will also contact all applicants to ask questions as necessary. The applications are qualitatively reviewed by the set of criteria listed in the application. You will be notified by staff regarding selection outcomes.
How will projects be evaluated?
The RTA will evaluate and select transit-related projects for the Community Planning Program based on the criteria described in the "Project Evaluation and Selection Process" Section of the website.
How do CTA, Metra and Pace get involved in transit-related projects?
Each transit agency that can potentially be impacted by the study is invited to participate. Additionally, it may be appropriate to involve CMAP in an RTA-led project and vice versa.
Do other external groups get involved in these projects?
Yes, the RTA may partner with outside groups for assistance on some projects. It will strengthen your application to identify any partnerships that you already have with external groups.
Who selects the consultant for my project?
In most cases, once your project has been accepted into the Community Planning Program the RTA will assist you in procuring a consultant to complete the scope of work. For most projects requiring consultant assistance, the RTA will solicit proposals from a pool of consultant teams previously vetted and under task order contracts with the RTA. Your staff and an assigned RTA Project Manager will both work with RTA's Procurement department in reviewing the proposals and selecting the consultant team most qualified to complete the work.
Who is responsible for managing the project?
The local grantee will be responsible for overall project management. An RTA staff member will also be assigned to each project to assist with project development and management.
What is the anticipated timeframe for projects to begin?
Once a project is selected into the program, project development begins. Our goal is to initiate most of the projects within six months and complete each project within twelve to eighteen months of project initiation.
Who can I contact if I still have questions?

Alison Elizabeth Margaret Goldfrapp is an English musician and record producer, best known as the lead vocalist of the electronic music duo Goldfrapp. Enjoy Alison Goldfrapp's best quotes below.
"I love escaping into film, because everyday life I find quite troublesome. So any excuse to go into a cinema and say goodbye to the world for a couple of hours, or in a book or whatever, is great."
"I find shopping too stressful. I get hot and flustered and irritated and feel sick after I've bought something."
"I have a cat. When I was younger, I had a guinea pig."
"You've got to go with what feels instinctive and true to your heart, and filter out all of the other stuff."
"I think some women try to make you feel you're not all female because you haven't given birth. There are a lot of prejudices. Some women think women who have animals are deeply sad, because what they really want is a child. Mind you, there's probably an element of truth in that."
"I think my cat is adorable, and I probably give it too much fresh chicken. Maybe if I had a child, I'd be giving the chicken to the child."
"I live on the edge of Bath. It's really lovely, but its very loveliness freaks me out a bit. It's peaceful, a great antidote to the craziness of being on tour, but sometimes I feel as though I've retired."
"Good dreams are better than films or books."
"Any abuse of animals is the same as abuse of men, women, or children."
"I carry my own food around on tour; I permanently have carrier bags full of cereal and bananas."
"I think a lot of singers are shy people. I suppose singing on stage is not like talking; you are not as exposed."
"I'd like a telescope, but I probably wouldn't look at the stars that often. I'd definitely be looking into people's flats most of the time."
"I'm one of those people that, if I'm in the country, I will have a look inside an old church."
"No one ever recognises me. Everyone says, 'You don't look like your pictures.'"
"There's not that much English folk music that is really that appealing."
"I once got my stiletto caught in my horse's tail on stage and went flying into the audience. It was a mental gig, so I think the crowd thought it was part of the show."
"I think that there are many aspects to the relationship between humans and animals. But briefly, humans appear to have always been fascinated by them from the time of cave paintings and before."
"The two have to go hand in hand – the atmosphere and the music. I actually get rather worried if I can't see the music first. There always needs to be a mood, a feeling, a story, even if it is abstract. There's got to be a narrative to guide things before they're even created."
"Anything is food for starting a song. A song can start with a lyric idea or a melody or just a sound that inspires."
"Humans have always used animals to depict ideas about themselves: ideas about their status, about their position in life and society and the world."
"I don't think that just because you go on stage you are an exhibitionist."
"I hated my teachers because I knew they didn't care, and I knew they had no control over me, so I hated them even more."
"I have no guilt about any of my pleasures."
"I try to read as much as I can – all the time, really. And I absolutely love going to the cinema, especially during the day."
"I'm not very good at cooking, and I'm away all the time, and I like transient living. I get really itchy feet if I stay in one place."
"I have strange blood sugar levels. I get very odd if I don't eat. I either want to hit someone, cry, or fall asleep."
"I honestly find it easier to dance about in heels than I do to walk down the street in them."
"I love entering the bowels of the cinema and immersing myself in another world."
"I think it's a bit of a myth that if you can read music you can write music. It doesn't work like that."
"In a very slow way, I found my path. Even now, I think, 'If I can't do it my way, I'd rather not do it.'"
"My dad used to ignore me when I was a kid. He couldn't stand my voice, so he just used to ignore me, and then he'd impersonate me."
"It's so hard to pick a 'single.' I always want it to be whatever my favorite tune is, but often the record company and the person whose job it is to take it to radio have different ideas."
"An album, for me, is not just a commercial product. It's about presenting a world to people, for them to explore and enjoy. How they do that is up to them."
"I had this thing about not giving too much of myself away, so I thought, if I sang lyrics, that's giving too much away. You know, I really didn't want to give myself away."
"I was clear that I wanted to do music and I wanted to write songs. But I wasn't clear about how I was going to make that happen. I wrote loads of songs but didn't want to show them to anyone."

Infiniti, extravagance division of Japanese vehicle maker Nissan, initially displayed its seven-traveler average size extravagance hybrid SUV in 2012, under the name Jx35 or even JX, as you favor. Then again, after a year, in 2013, Infiniti authorities chose to change its name to Qx60, keeping in mind the end goal to make a line-up of SUVs with number, which indicated the span of it. Considering that this model is around for a long time now, the up and coming 2016 Infiniti Qx60 ought to get a few curiosities its plan.
2016 Infiniti Qx60 Interior and Exterior Redesign
As we said in a nutshell presentation, new model year will likely mean the facelift for extravagance Qx60 SUV. Its changes shouldn't be major, yet we anticipate from its planners to make some modernization. Talking about that, new model year will likely bring new state of its headlights, re-styled front barbecue and few different changes which will have any kind of effect in 2016 Infiniti Qx60 look. Other than rebuilding, which is normal on the front end, and some minor changes on the back, new Qx60 will be accessible in couple of distinctive paints, both all around.
Inner part changes will incorporate a few redesigns. Beginning with diverse trims and color shades, new Qx60 ought to bring enhanced tech characteristics. Then again, there will barely be any dashboard overhauling following; those sorts of changes generally sit tight for another era, which is not yet on Infiniti's timetable.
The Qx60 is fitted as standard with calfskin upholstery, warmed front seats with force movability, a force sunroof, a force back lift entryway, 18-inch part five-spoke aluminum-amalgam wheels Rearview Monitor cam framework, Bluetooth without hands telephone framework, six-speaker AM/FM/CD sound framework, USB Connection Port for iPod and other good gadgets, XM Satellite Radio and a cowhide wrapped controlling wheel and movement handle. A Home Link carport opener is recently standard for the most recent model year.
2016 Infiniti Qx60 Engine Specs
In the engine of the 2016 Infiniti Qx60, this extravagance brand won't bring any news, at minimum as indicated by most recent data. The both customary and Hybrid variation of the model will keep on being accessible, without any huge overhauls. Base motor is a 3.5-liter V6 unit that conveys 265 torque and 248 pound-feet of torque. It comes stuffed with a CVT and front-wheel drive as standard. All-wheel drive is accessible as discretionary for both general Qx60 and Hybrid model.
2016 Infiniti Qx60 Hybrid accompanies a supercharged 2.5-liter 4-barrel motor, which is matched with an electric engine of 15 kW. This powertrain mix offers an aggregate yield of 250 strength and adjusted CVT.
2016 model year won't change the mpg quantities of this extraordinary SUV, so we can at present expect 20-21 mpg in consolidated ride (contingent upon the drivetrain choice). The half and half variation is more proficient, which is no amazement. It conveys 26 mpg in consolidated ride, paying little respect to the drivetrain.
2016 Infiniti Qx60 Release Date and Price
It is still right on time to guess about exact discharge date or estimating, yet some really dependable sources as of now gave their forecasts. According to them, new, 2016, Qx60 will be discharged amid the last quarter of this current year. Evaluating ought to stay in the same range as 2015 model, with little increment. This implies we can anticipate that new Qx60 will begin around $43,000, and Hybrid adaptation at $46,000 give or take.

Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris - Review
Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris. Ensemble Theatre, Sydney, directed by Tanya Goldberg, March 19 – April 19, 2014.
Reviewed by Frank McKone
April 19
An excellent production of an excellent play. The website says it all:
Is the popularity justified by quality? I think it is.
The Ensemble has a long tradition, going back to its American founder, Hayes Gordon, of presenting successful up-to-date plays from the USA. Clybourne Park fits the bill since its first production in 2010, having already won a Tony, a Pultizer, Olivier and Evening Standard awards.
The basis of its success is the witty, often excruciatingly funny, exposé of the worst kind of NIMBYism which has property values and race in the mix.
Norris has skilfully put together, all in the same house, the story of social change in this fictional suburb of Chicago which has been true of central city areas across the US through the post-World War 2 to the present time.
Each of the seven actors has two roles – one in the mid-1950s, following the end of the Korean War in 1953, as 'coloured' people began to buy into middle-class white areas; the other in the late 20 noughties, by which time the house had a historical heritage value as the vanguard of the change to Afro-American middle-class ownership.
But there is also the ghostly presence in that house of the son of the earlier white owners, who had hanged himself in his upstairs bedroom because of guilt, apparently for having shot civilians during a clearing operation in Korea.
None of this sounds like material for a comedy. Just imagine shifting the scene from Chicago to the more upmarket part of Moree, say, if the people from Toomelah had had the chance to buy in 1968, when they were still refused access to the swimming pool, and while the part played by Aboriginal men in Australia's wars went not only unrecognised but officially denied.
In this play, Chicago has gone through and out the other side to the point where the now racially mixed community tries to decide what should be done to preserve, refurbish or update the house. These people are two generations away from those in Act 1. The measure of Norris' success is that the funniest – and most excruciating scene – is when his characters in 2010 fire off racist jokes at each other.
This is the point at which, through comedy which satirises each character's stance, we in the audience are forced, as we laugh, to recognise our own hypocritical attitudes – and it doesn't take much thought to see the wider range of issues to which the laughter can be applied.
Of course, though, the sublety of Norris' writing could be a disastrous and embarrassing flop on stage, if it were not directed and acted with detailed care to match. Not only has Tanya Goldberg placed the characters precisely in their American setting – recognising that the drama must be played true to its locality to have global effect – but she and all the actors have understood the style needed. Comedy requires a degree of exaggeration and pointed timing. This makes the first act work. Satire requires an extra fine control to turn comedy into inescapable self-recognition on our part. This was achieved to a very high degree in the second act.
So my praise goes to all the cast: Paula Arundell (1950s Francine / 2010 Lena); Cleave Williams (Albert / Kevin); Richard Sydenham (Russ / Dan); Wendy Strehlow (Bev / Kathy); Briallen Clarke (Betsy / Lindsey; Nathan Lovejoy (Karl / Steve); and Thomas Campbell who played three roles – Jim / Tom, and Russ and Bev's son Kenneth, in a kind of reprise which ends the play as he writes his suicide note.
This was a genuine Ensemble production.

The process of choosing images is pretty simple. The first step is to remove the ones you don't like. There will be photos that you love and photos that you may not - hopefully not too many you don't like :). I will have you go through and select all the photos you like to narrow them down. There is no right or wrong number of how many to take out, but those will be taken out completely.
After you go through all the photos, I will come out and pull up only those you liked. I will talk to you about your package and options. Then if you need to narrow the photos down, you can do it from those you liked.
I can give you your disk on the spot if you have a package with digital images, or if you decide to purchase the disk. I can also do prints up to 16X20. Larger prints, metal prints, and gallery wraps will take approximately 1 - 2 weeks to get back from the lab.
Italian albums will take approximately six weeks to complete and get back from Italy. Slip in albums can be picked up and taken home the day of your shoot, although you may be asked to pick it up later in the day if you appointment time is almost up, to allow the images to be printed.

should Scientology be considers a religion.?
should Scientology be considers a religion.?
^ considered
Best answer:
Answer by Bob Vila
Sure… why not. Its not really any crazier than anything else… its just a new story.
Add your own answer below.
15 Responses to "should Scientology be considers a religion.?"
Gee, I don't know. Does it follow the definition of a religion?
Why shouldn't it? It's has the same validity as any other religion out there!
That would probably be an Atheist.
More of a cult.But no different from the others.
The Russians, Kazakhs and Belgians don't seem to think so.
Fab, TW, I did not make those videos. Those videos are from official Russian, Kazakh and Belgian news sources. If you don't like them, take it up with them. Or better yet, have one of your d-bag lawyers like Kendrick Moxon take it up with them; I'm sure you're organization would love a few more legal battles on its plate than it already has LOL
Youtube : "Scientology lawyer Kendrick Moxon faces protesters in Hollywood for first & only time"
Theta Works : "Scientology has over 10,000 Churches, Missions and groups in 167 countries."
LOL I LOVE IT when Scientologist make this claim; "10,000 Churches, Missions and groups." Because it's so easy to disprove.
By the way, none of you Scientologists answered my question about your thoughts on the drowning of Millie and Judith Richmond.
No. It's a money-making business.
If your in show business, but not if your just a office clerk or go to school. I think people who spend years on a set acting out a fantasy should have the right to delude themselves that the writers and producers of the show are superior beings.
It involves collective belief, rituals, and belief in a spiritual realm. So it generally fits the definition of a religion.
No. It's a cult, created in 1978 by a man who wanted to cheat people out of their money.
By the US, it is considered a religion.
Yeah why not?
It is already considered a religion by most governments worldwide.
That's also why the religion has so many churches in Africa, Europe, America, Asia… even Israel.. and so on.. you can see the churches worldwide on the official websites.
But yeah, besides personal opinions, Scientology is definitely a religion.
It meets all three criteria generally used to determine religiosity:
1) a belief in some Ultimate Reality, such as the Supreme or eternal truth that transcends the here and now of the secular world;
2) religious practices directed toward understanding, attaining or communing with this Ultimate Reality; 3) a community of believers who join together in pursuing this Ultimate Reality.
Gee… Steven, the youtube video you posted are ridicolous.
It even says here that Scientology is a registered religion in Kazakhstan:
"Other religious registered groups include Judaism, the Bahá'í Faith, Hare Krishnas, Buddhists, the Church of Scientology, Christian Scientists, and the Unification Church."
Scholastic criteria for a religion :
1. A belief in some Ultimate Reality, such as a supreme or eternal truth that transcends the here and now of the secular world;
2. Religious practices directed towards understanding, attaining or communing with this Ultimate Reality; and
3. A community of believers who join together in pursuing this Ultimate Religion.
Based on these criteria, every scholar who has examined Scientology has concluded that it has the required elements of a religion.
Here are some of the names of those who have done independant studies of Scientology and made these conclusions:
Dr Bryan Ronald Wilson Oxford University England
Regis dricquebourg, Prof of Sociology of Religion Lille University France.
Prof Lonnie D. Kliever American expert on religion.
Dr J. Melton Founder/Director Institute for the Study of American Religion (Santa Barbara)
Dr Frank K. Flinn Prof in religious studies at Washington University.
Dr M Darroll Bryant Prof of Religion and Culture Universit of Waterloo Ontario Canada.
James A Beckford Prof Warick University England.
Michael A Sivertsev. Chrm for New Religions Russia
Mr Fumio Swanda One of Japans foremost authorities on religion and former director of Sophia University.
There are many more studies available. These are just a few.
"Consider" suggests opinion. Scientology is a religion by definition as it deals with man as an immortal spiritual being (who has a body, is NOT the body) whose experiences span many lifetimes. Religion is defined as that which deals with the supernatural (God, the Creator, the Supreme Being, the soul, a spiritual being.)
Steven has mentioned YouTube videos that are false. For example, Scientology is a registered religion in Kazakhstan and Russia. A prosecutor in Belgium, running for re-election, says he's going to prosecute "Scientology" for fraud (never said for what, which is a huge generality and a publicity ploy) but never did. Scientology has over 10,000 Churches, Missions and groups in 167 countries. So, how credible is that? It never happened. Steven has a history of searching the internet for bad news stories and rumors about Scientology and pays no attention to whether those were factual or not or that he missed the debunking of those rumors. He has no credibility in this forum.
Sure. It's a religion that believes in spirituality but does not include deity worship in its practice. Taoism and Buddhism also have that aspect.
Because of Scientology/s controversial nature, a lot of people do not consider it to be a religion. However, a belief set can be negative or untrue or have flaws and still be a religion.
Now, if you were to ask me if the Church of Scientology should still retain its status as a tax exempt (in the US) religion- that would be another story. In my opinion, they use the recognition and tax exemption status they get as a get out of jail free card to abuse others and get away with it. Just google Marc and Claire Headley and their court cases, if you want to know what I mean.
So my views on whether a beliefset is a religion are different than my views and critieria on what should or should not have tax exempt status as a church.
