In 2017, the sounds of silence seem to be drowning
out what really matters. In this day and age, the
universal lyrics of Simon and Garfunkel have become more
relevant than ever. Hailing from Stourbridge, England,
Dan Haynes and Pete Richards are the members of
Bookends, perhaps the finest Simon and Garfunkel Tribute
band in the world. They sing the songs that speak to the
times as importantly as they did 50 years ago.
Friends since childhood, Dan and Pete were young
musicians bonded through a shared love for the music of
Simon and Garfunkel. When they reached adulthood, both
men decided to keep the spirit of Simon and Garfunkel
The pair has received tremendous acclaim in their
home country with BBC Radio WM calling their performance
"a masterpiece." Over the years, Bookends have been able
to fine-tune their vocals to the point that they now
sing in perfect harmony, just like Simon and Garfunkel.
They appear at the Spencer with a string quartet for a
night of pure musical poetry.

We banned Tom from using red in this one
Butterfly Effect 2 theme is MUCH easier on the eyes, I like it. Will I check out the movie, no, but it's a nice change.
I almost rented it this past Friday, but Lego Star Wars II on the XBOX 360 won out.
I was gonna buy it the other day in a sale, but now I won't on principal!
They do implant a reminder to get it I guess... Tom just ordered Lucky # Slevin and I'm just about to order it too.
No amount of brainwashing would make me want to see/buy it.
Did you get Ultraviolet?

Indeed, the red really bothered my eyes. But I will be inclined to check out the film now, what with the brainwashing

I don't mind the ad too much. I realize that running a site costs money and you have to advertising to raise the money. However, that red is one ugly color! At least, the ad did remind me to rent this when I get back to the US.
While the ad part of it is kinda annoying, I do like the red. Don't ask me why, but I think the red is a good look. I'm interested in seeing what other kinds of themes you guys come up with for other releases...so, yes, while they are a little annoying, they are interesting to look at.
Indeed. It doesn't affect the navigation in any way, just the appearance. Unless you want to pay our hosting fees we need to run these promotions from time to time. It's only for a limited time anyway, just like the Ultraviolet promotion we ran a while back.
I'm not a very big fan of it, but I don't see how it makes browsing the site any different.
What is it with the Lucky # Slevin advertisement? Is there a way to disable these skin/themes? They are kinda annoying and makes the site a pain to browse through. What was wrong with the previous none intrusive ads?

Peter Thomas Roth's Laser-Free Resurfacer claims to resurface, renew, restore, and regenerate the skin from the first pump. "Help lessen the NOTICEABLE signs of aging as a result of time, UV and environmental damage". Pretty much you can cancel your laser appointment and save some money by purchasing this product.
|Courtesy of sephora.com
Some facts about this product:
* Contains Dragon's blood complex: said to accelerate skin damage repair.
* Formulated without Sulfates, Phthalates, GMOs, Triclosan.
Scientific research results (4wks)
* Product helped boost skin's elasticity by 61%
* Diminished wrinkles and lines by 56%
* Increased Pro-Collagen by 84%
Final thoughts on this product: Wow!! I have a normal skin type so in the winter time all I normally have to do is use a heavier cream to maintain my skin's moisture, however this winter is totally different for some strange reason because though it's not as cold as it has been in winters before my skin is completely dry to the point that when I use anything on my cheeks you can see patches Yuck!
After my first use of this amazing skin care product I found my skin smooth and well moisturized. I'm well in my twenties and while I may not have tons of noticeable wrinkle I do have little baby lines forming here and there (shh) and I found that this serum not only moisturized my skin but smoothed the surface of my skin as well, making my face brighter smoother and extremely radiant. Bottom line when I pumped and my sample was done my heart sank and that's how you know you truly love a product.
Have you tried any products from Peter Thomas Roth?

It's been a long time coming, but Beaumont finally has an Indian restaurant of its very own.
And the food is more than legit.
Seventeen years ago, Rao Muttavarapu, his wife Brahma and their family moved to America from India, where Rao trained as a professional chef. Recently, Rao felt it was time to open his own restaurant.
With the help of family — and a little luck — it happened. Brahma's cousin owns the Taz location in College Station. When he told them Beaumont had no Indian restaurant, they saw the perfect opportunity.
The family came from California to scout out locations and stopped for lunch at Peking. When they asked the owner if he knew of any restaurants for sale, he replied, "Why don't you buy mine?"
Indian food is an exotic, flavorful journey. You will see a lot of curry, chicken, goat, lamb, seafood and an abundance of vegetarian dishes.
Don't be scared to ask a lot of questions. Fortunately for the uninitiated, there is a first-timer special that provides smaller portions of the more approachable dishes.
Recommendations: "Beaumont hasn't had this kind of restaurant diversity, so this is great," said John Smith. "I got the vegetable biryani and the naan bread is wonderful."
Ashley Finch said she's excited to see Indian food in Southeast Texas.
"I live in Fort Worth now so it's nice to be able to get it when I come home. People should get out of their comfort zone and try different food."
Her friend Amy Stanford did just that.
"It's delicious," she said. "My first time for Indian food was here, and I'm already back for a second visit."
"The chicken vindaloo spice is delicious," said Katie Byerly. "This is as good as the Indian place I go to in Houston."
"It's our cultural food so we love it," Zill Huma said. "I got the Lamb Bothi kabab and it's delicious."
Brandy Antill said she and her husband usually go to Houston for Indian food.
"I'm pleased they have the Thali — that's the condiments that go with it," Antill said. "I love the Kashmiri naan with pistachios and raisins."
This is a great place for lamb. The boneless lamb curry was outstanding, and the lamb was melt-in-your-mouth. Dip some naan in the sauce, and enjoy your stay in heaven.
You can't go wrong with any of the biryani dishes, which are spicy Basmati rice with different mix-ins. The chicken biryani is probably a safe bet for an Indian food newbie.
The drink situation: For more exotic flavor, try one of the special drinks like mango lassi. It's a creamy mango drink made with yogurt. Delish.
Also, this place is BYOB — and right next door to Spec's.
Atmosphere: There's nothing fancy about the atmosphere but if you want to dress for an exotic dinner, this place can accommodate that.
Extras and Specials: Add the Thali Dinner for $5 to your entree and get a selection of tasty condiments on the side. It makes the food adventure that much more interesting.
The verdict: We've all been waiting for an Indian restaurant in Southeast Texas. If you aren't as excited as I am, that's probably because you haven't tried Indian food.
Taz Indian Cuisine is a perfect place to start.
Taz Indian Cuisine
Where: 5868 Eastex Fwy., Beaumont

It wasn't that long ago when Broadmoor High offensive tackle Michael Vick Jr. was making like his famous NFL namesake and running around as a quarterback in BREC's youth football leagues.
The biggest challenge for Vick, then a 12-year-old, was to be able to lose enough weight a night or two before a game in order to make the required weight designated for those carrying a football.
Of course, when Vick sprinted around end, or through the line, he was greeted with chants of, "Michael Vick is running, Michael Vick is running" in much the same daring manner as Michael Vick did with the Atlanta Falcons and now the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, the younger Vick eventually realized his true passion wasn't attached to the more glorified positions on the field, those with the ball in their hands, and instead opted to be the one leading the way and clearing the path for the yards to be gained and the touchdowns to be scored.
"I wasn't a very good ball handler and I decided I would rather block," Vick said. "It's worked out for me."
That it has.
Vick has found himself entrenched as a starting offensive tackle for the past three years for a Broadmoor program that's progressed from an 0-10 team two years ago to one riding the crest of a three-game winning streak and receiving votes in this week's Class 4A poll.
The play of Vick at strong-side tackle is among the reasons the Buccaneers are off to a 3-1 overall start and 1-0 mark in District 6-4A heading into Friday's key showdown at No. 4 Lutcher (3-1, 1-0).
"He's not real tall, but he has the greatest leverage, and he's getting better and better with his technique," Broadmoor football coach Rusty Price said of the 5-foot-11, 250-pound Vick. "He's the best we've got. There's no doubt about it. When we have to have a definite push we're going to try and go over him."
The veer offense has long been a staple of Price's 27-year career while at Broadmoor; and the success of the offense, like most units, is predicated on the play of the offensive line.
While Broadmoor has enough skilled athletes such as junior quarterback Joshua Rogers to rival most of their opposition, the Buccaneers haven't been as fortunate when it comes to the offensive and defensive lines.
Price said he uses six to seven linemen from a roster of 30 players to formulate his fronts on both sides of the ball.
"We only have one team as far as linemen are concerned," Price said. "That's one big disadvantage you have when you don't have a lot of numbers."
With a greater commitment to the summer offseason program, Vick helped to distinguish himself among that group and went on to earn second team all-district honors in 2010. That trend continued this past summer where Vick has more than doubled his lift in the squat to 450 pounds over two years ago.
"This summer our weight room was very competitive," Vick said. "We pushed each other and it was a team effort. I think I've improved a lot with technique and my speed but there's still plenty room to improve."
That appears to be the same mantra Broadmoor's lived by since it encountered last year's disappointing news that its 5-5 record didn't translate into a state playoff appearance.
They appear to be on the right track toward making amends for that heartbreak of a year ago.
The Buccaneers, who are in search of the program's first playoff berth since 2008, followed up a season-opening 20-6 loss to Denham Springs with victories over a pair of Class 5A teams in Walker and Live Oak, and opened league play with a 309-yard rushing output in a 32-14 win over Belaire - setting the stage for Friday's trip to Lutcher.
"We haven't been 3-1 since I've been here and it's a great position to be in," Vick said. "My goals are to win out, win district and go deep into the playoffs.
"I've tried to step up my game and also tried to help my fellow teammates do the same.? If we step up our game as a team, we can really make things happen."

An assistant football coach resigned and two students have been transferred to an alternative school following the attack on a football referee during a game.
The coach is also temporarily banned from coaching in any other sanctioned sporting event in Texas. The students will miss the rest of this season and face other punishments.
John Jay High School assistant football coach Mack Breed resigned his position from the school district, according to a report by ESPN's John Barr. By resigning, Breed avoided a schedule appearance before a meeting of the University Interscholastic League (UIL), Texas' governing body for interscholastic activities.
The UIL, in turn, has banned Breed from coaching any UIL sanctioned activity at least until the next scheduled meeting of the organization next month, according to Time-Warner Cable News.
Breed resigned after allegedly admitting he told the two players to make the ref pay for the racial comments claimed by John Jay players.
Breed's attorney, James Reeves, told the San Antonio Express-News that he never really intended for the players to hit the ref. Reeves issued the following statement on Breed's behalf:
Some people are unfairly blaming one man, Mack Breed, for everything that happened at that game. Mack Breed has spent three agonizing weeks contemplating his future since the fateful football game in which two players struck a referee. It has been a difficult road for Mack as he has stood silently watching the spectacle. He has replayed that game in his mind many times wondering how it all went wrong.
The players, Victor Rojas and Michael Moreno, said Breed told them to make the ref pay for bad calls and using racial slurs against the some of their team's minority players. The game official, Robert Watts, denies the racial slurs.
Watts and the players also did not testify before the UIL meeting. Watts has revealed, through public statements, that he suffered a concussion and several other injuries.
The school district assigned two players to an alternative school for 75 days, ESPN reported. Having received credit for the time they have already spent in the alternative school, the boys are eligible to return to John Jay High School when the spring semester begins in January.
Moreno's high school football days are over as he is a senior and will miss the remainder of the football season. The school district banned Rojas, a sophomore, from participating in football during his junior year. The district banned both boys from even watching their school play football.
There has not yet been an indication as to whether the players or the coach will face criminal charges in connection with the attack on Watts.

I will never forget the morning, during one of many college business courses, a guest lecturer from Aramark visited to discuss customer service. This was before candidate experience and branding, etc. were hot buzzwords. Anyway, point being, what hit me that day was when this tenured executive told myself and the 300+ person lecture hall that his most opportune moments were when they [Aramark] did wrong by the customers. Wait a minute. Was I still half asleep? This bold statement was a complete contradiction of everything I had learned in business studies up to this point, especially for a hospitality related industry. What we were taught first-hand that day was that the most rewarding consumer experiences happen when a customer has an negative exchange that is then exceeded by overwhelming gratitude, provided by the supplier - YOU.
In the interview transaction, candidates are our consumers. Forget about them taking a job. They are either buying into what an organization stands for, it's brand, or not. Their candidate experience results in how they will portray this brand to the market. So, what if it goes terribly wrong during the interview process? Don't panic, Aramark taught me a long time ago that this is your chance to shine. Here's how:
Timing is critical. Once you learn of the candidate's perspective and have gathered as much information about the experience as you can, do not allow time to lapse. There is nothing worse than a long silence period, talking about adding to resentment. I've heard many times from candidates that have been flown in for interviews and left with a poor taste of the organization. The worst part, it was all topped off with going weeks without communication from the hiring organization. Radio silence is a killer. Of course, being the recruiter, I try to bridge this gap but it only goes so far. Hiring companies, it's simple – you must act quickly! In addition to making timely outreach, keep in mind that executives have hectic schedules, so be accommodating and make sure to take the return call. It shows you value their time and are freeing up yours.
If there is anything you should avoid, it's being defensive. Even if you believe you're not in the wrong, bite your lip and put the candidate first. Openly acknowledging and addressing the poor experience head-on is an honest form of taking responsibility for actions and shows great character and responsibility to the candidate. While addressing the situation, take your time, candidates don't want to interpret this gesture as a data gathering exercise to apply to your future process. Yes, it is great to know you will prevent this in the future, but right now it is all about them. Tackle it head on. You won't regret it.
When you reach out, lose the robotic formalities and scripted conversations. Compliance is one thing, but coming across as an outsourced agent is another. Executive candidates will sniff this out and it defeats the whole purpose. It's ok to not have all of the answers, sincerity will override this. Ask questions to understand where the process fell apart and admit to mistakes. It's a powerful thing to hear from reputable companies that they do make errors and own up to them. Believe me, there are many worse things than being human and humility is one of the strongest attributes to gain a loyal following. With that in mind, this conversation is all about relating to each other as people, not candidate and hiring manager. In addition to understanding what went wrong, discuss the positives as you can jokingly mention you got a few things right. This type of discussion with higher-level candidates will open future doors and heighten your word-of-mouth standing.
At the end of the day it is important to remember that it's ok to fall sometimes. As I learned years ago, failure can be beneficial. Just make sure you know how to seize an opportunity and you'll be sure to recover.

The laborious talks with Saudi Arabia over price increases for 72 Typhoon fighter jets and the outlook for US defence sales are likely to be two major talking points when BAE Systems reports full-year results on Thursday.
Britain's biggest defence group shocked analysts just before Christmas with a double blow from the Gulf over its Typhoon programme – failure to land a 60-jet order from the UAE and news that for the third year running it had failed to strike a deal with the Saudis over the step-up in contract prices.
Analysts will be looking for an update on the Saudi talks, news on what export markets remain for the Typhoon and management's view on US prospects following the recent budget agreement.
They will also want to hear the outlook for the £1bn buyback programme, which is only £90m done and partly dependent on the outcome of the Saudi talks.
Morgan Stanley expects full-year revenues of almost £19bn and operating profits of about £1.92bn, roughly 6pc ahead of consensus.
BAE's expansion of its cyber-security arm is also likely to be a key issue.
Economic week ahead
A bumper week of economic news begins with inflation figures tomorrow, which could show the cost of living eased to its lowest level in more than four years in January. Consumer prices inflation is currently 2pc, but could fall to 1.9pc following deep discounting by retailers.
The Bank of England severed the link between the unemployment rate and interest rates last week, and Bank minutes will reveal how much support the second phase of forward guidance received.
Martin Weale, an external member of the Monetary Policy Committee, was the sole dissenter when the policy was introduced in August. The jobless rate is expected to hold steady at 7.1pc in the three months to December, following rapid falls since last summer.
Public borrowing data on Friday will also reveal if Chancellor George Osborne is still on track to balance the books, with a flurry of corporation and income tax receipts from January.

• It is often said that profit warnings come in threes, and investors in John Wood Group will be hoping that does not hold true for the oil services company. The FTSE 250 group, which is due to post full-year results, has already sounded two alerts during the second half of 2013, hurt by oil companies cutting costs.
Wood's engineering business has been the source of the recent warnings and shareholders will be watching to see whether the company this week lowers its profit outlook for the division for a third time.
For 2013, analyst consensus is for pre-tax profits of $424m (£253m) on revenues of $7.2bn.
• InterContinental Hotels' robust US business is expected to offset weaknesses in Europe and the emerging markets to deliver revenue growth in 2013. Deutsche Bank analysts have predicted a 1pc rise in full-year revenues to $1.86bn. They expect earnings per share to climb 9pc to $1.48.
Morgan Stanley analysts are upbeat on prospects for IHG – whose brands include Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn – for the year ahead. "We think we are only mid-way through the US hotel cycle, with supply still low and GDP strengthening, and that lodging share prices will not peak until 2016," they wrote in a note to clients.

Superior Hiking Trail: Cascade River Loop is a 7.4 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Lutsen, Minnesota that features a waterfall and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is best used from April until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
washed out
This is one of my favorite hikes on the shore. My friend Scott introduced it to me. We set out on cold winters day to climb the waterfall at cut log. It was my first foray into ice climbing and I found it both exhilarating and terrifying. I have since returned several times to enjoy the path and the amazing trees found on the way. Though I've no intention of climbing the drip again, I hope that I may find myself back here again someday.
Lovely trail. It took me about 4.5 hours for a leisurely hike. The Trout Creek bridge is out, but today (June 26, 2018) the creek was dry, so I could walk right across. If it has rained, check http://www.superiorhiking.org for conditions before you go. Edit: after hiking some trails in the Rockies, I'd rate this one as moderate or even easy.
The Trout Creek bridge on the west side of the Cascade River is out and the creek can't be crossed due to recent heavy rain. As a result, west side of this loop trail is currently inaccessible.
Nice loop or you can shuttle if you want to go one way only. Beautiful trail along the river.
Awesome hike. Lucked out on a great day. Highly recommend.
I've hiked all of the parks along the north shore and this one will always be ranked towards the top! The hike to Lookout Mountain is so worth the views you get at the top! I try to make this hike every time I travel north. Even just wading in the river down by it's mouth to the Lake Superior is gorgeous. Also, lots of good hammock hangs over the river!
Traveling up the west side of the river was great. Multiple falls and cascades justify the effort. Coming back on the east side takes you further from the water and loses alittle of the wow factor. Still a worthwhile hike.
This is rated as hard but for serious hikers it is pretty moderate. Elevation never gets above 2000 ft above sea level so breathing is easier. If you are not a serious hiker and you are out of shape this could be hard. I am generous with the stars.

Loved this hike. Gorgeous views. It was quite muddy at the beginning, but dried out as we got closer to the river. I would definitely do it again.
One of the best in MN! Take your time enjoy the smells and sights...
Cascade is my all time favorite in Minnesota!
Multiple scenic falls to see. I would not recommend to not turn back as the map suggest. Continue on the trail, keep left as the trail splits, and follow the trail up a huge hill and you will come upon another hidden treasure. explore to find out what it is! The trail loops back. As always, bring plenty of water.
Beautiful area ad part of the trail on the way to Lutsen!
I've loved this trail and State Park since I was a child. The west side of the river is much more challenging than the east side.
Beautiful place! Go and checkitout!

A Checklist Before Departure
A Word of Encouragement from Elizabeth Rice Handford
When I took flying lessons, I learned one of the most important aspects of safe flying is the detailed checklist you go through before you even start the engine: weather forecasts and winds aloft and at your destination; the "walk-around" to check the outside of the plane; in the cockpit to check gauges and controls, communication and navigation radios, weights and balances. Only then do you call out to bystanders, "Clear prop!" and start your engine.
Today I attended the funeral of a woman who knew her departure was imminent and the stakes enormous, so she went through a very careful checklist to prepare for it.
She'd been a school teacher all her life: intelligent, loving, thoughtful, a committed Christian. I met her while she was being treated for cancer. You wouldn't know, from her cheerful conversation, how much pain she'd endured with multiple surgeries, radiation, continuing chemotherapy. We became deep friends as we studied God's Word together.
Recently her oncologist told her the tumors in her brain had returned. There was nothing more that could be done. So she went home to prepare for her soon departure.
I went to see her for what I felt would be the last time. "I have three questions," she said quietly. "I didn't really start living for Jesus until after I lost my husband. I feel like I've wasted so much of my life."
I reminded her of the beautiful parable Jesus told in Matthew chapter 20. The owner of a vineyard had gone to the town square several times during the day to hire more helpers to work in his vineyard. He went the last time, Jesus said, at 5:00 in the afternoon, an hour before the end of the work day. "I'll pay you what you're worth," he promised. When the workers line up to pay, he paid the ones who'd worked only an hour as much as those who had worked the whole day. "God values very much these days you have given Him. He treasures that you served Him, not how long you served."
"But I've never led anyone to Christ."
"Oh, my dear, don't you remember that the Apostle Paul said, 'Some plant the seed, some water it, and somebody else reaps the fruit'? You've been so faithful living for Jesus, telling people about Him. That's what really counts."
"But one more thing: before I die, I need to confess all my sins, so I can be forgiven of them, and I just can't remember them all."
That was the easiest of her departure checklist for me to check off! I said, "Jesus said, 'He that believes on me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death into life' (John 5:24). You did what Jesus told you to do. You did trust Him. He kept His promise. He forgave every sin, and then He promptly forgot it! When you ask forgiveness now, He checks the record and says, 'My child, there's absolutely no sin recorded there!'"
Hear what the Lord Jesus says:
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:12).
Their sins and iniquities I will remember no more (Hebrews 8:12).
I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions (Isaiah 44:22).
I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins (Isaiah 43:25).
Checklist for departure? All clear. Not one thing left to be taken care of. The Lord Jesus has taken care of every single item on the checklist. "Clear prop!" Destination? Heaven, and joy with Jesus forever!
Who Has the Most Important Job Around Here?
A Word of Encouragement from Elizabeth Rice Handford
Once in a while I get to thinking I'm not very needed for anything. So many of the tasks I do each day seem unimportant. It's then that I remember the tiny stapes bone, the smallest bone in the human body. Then I feel better about the tasks God has assigned me. Sound complicated? It isn't, really.
I can't hear well. It has affected every part of my life. I can't hear what my children say. I hurt people's feelings because I misunderstand them. I dread public meetings because I can't hear, even with my hearing aids turned full volume.
I remember once sitting in chapel at Southside Christian. I thought the principal asked me to go to the piano and play the introduction to the "Hallelujah Chorus." (Our students had just sung it in a Christmas program.) In front of the whole student body, in the very middle of the principal's message, I got up from the audience and went to the piano. But that wasn't at all what the principal had asked.
Don't even ask me about the time I thought my sister said she'd sprayed for fleas, when she had actually sprayed "Fabreeze," an air freshener.
The ENT doctor told me that the little stapes bones in my middle ear (tiniest bone in the boyd) had disintegrated from arthritis. Simply put, the stapes bone conducts the sound waves from the ear drum to the auditory nerve. It was no wonder I couldn't hear. (They're called stapes, because they are shaped like a stirrup.) How could anything so tiny affect a human being's whole life? Believe me, they do!
And that's why the stapes bone comes to mind when I wonder if I am doing anything significant for God. The Lord Jesus says He has given every single one of us a task, an important task that no one but ourselves can accomplish. There are no unimportant people or unimportant jobs in the family of God. He has given each of us the job He designed us for. Here's how First Corinthians 12:12-22 puts it:
The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up only one body.
So it is with the body of Christ.
Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free.
But we have all been baptized into Christ's body by one Spirit,
and we have all received the same Spirit.
Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.
If the foot says, "I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,"
that does not make it any less a part of the body.
And if the ear says, "I am not part of the body because I am only an ear and not an eye,"
would that make it any less a part of the body?
Suppose the whole body were an eye-then how would you hear?
Or if your whole body were just one big ear, how could you smell anything?
But God made our bodies with many parts,
and He has put each part just where He wants it.
What a strange thing a body would be if it had only one part!
Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.
The eye can never say to the hand, "I don't need you."
The head can't say to the feet, "I don't need you."
In fact, some of the parts that seem weakest and least important
are really the most necessary.
That settles it, doesn't it? Each of us has a unique task to do for God today, right where we are! There are no unimportant people or unimportant jobs in the sight of our loving Heavenly Father.
God's Creation Can't Help But Praise Him!
A Word of Praise with Elizabeth Rice Handford
This morning's Bible reading in First Chronicles 16:31-34 was so remarkable, I was taken aback. "Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, 'The LORD reigns.' Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it. Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth."
In my surprise I should have remembered Job 36:7, "The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." And Psalm 65:13: "The valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing." And the very last line of the book of Psalms says, "Let every thing that has breath praise the LORD" (Psalm 150:6).
So I wondered. Can skies really "rejoice"? Can the earth itself actually "be glad"? Can the stars truly sing? Can a field of corn really shout for joy?
For that matter, does my little daschund Schatzi, who certainly does "have breath," actually praise the Lord?
I think maybe she does. Sometimes she asks with great urgency to go outside. But once out, she often forgets her urgency. She stands completely still for a moment or two, her head lifted, oblivious to her surroundings. I wonder if maybe she's praising the Lord.
I watch the little gray finch who rents the birdhouse outside my window. He sometimes flies in and out, busily feeding his squawking family. Sometimes he perches quietly on the roof of his house and sings with all his heart. The little bird breathes, and he seems to praise the Lord.
I look back on a memorable morning drive across the Alps by way of the Brennan Pass, seeing a Swiss farmer let his calves out of the stable in the stone foundation of his house. They pranced out, leaping and cavorting. They seemed to be thanking God for the new day.
I remember watching two of our horses, united after a year's separation, nickering when they first glimpsed each other, and then racing, circling the pasture together, again and again. Were they were thanking God they were together?
Have you seen dolphins dancing in the surf, leaping in elegant movements over and over again? I wonder if maybe they also praise God as they play.
I remember standing in an Iowa field of corn in July, the stalks higher than my head, hearing them rustle in the wind. They had no voice, but they honored their Creator just by their rustle.
Why does the whole creation rejoice? Psalm 96:11-13 tells us why:
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the LORD.
For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the people with His truth.
Psalm 96:9
One wonderful day the Lord Jesus will return and reclaim His marred creation. So we can thank Him and praise Him today, along with His beautiful creation, as we await that promised day of deliverance.
Things That Matter Most
A Word of Encouragement from Elizabeth Rice Handford
She's fought cancer for four years now. Her doctors have tried everything. Surgeries. Continuing bouts of chemotherapy and radiation. New drug trials. This week her oncologist said to her, "Your latest x-rays show you have three new brain tumors. We've done our best, Laura." (That's not her name, of course.) "There's nothing more we can try. I'm so sorry. It's time to call in hospice."
Laura is an ardent Christian. She knew that at some point she would hear those words; she was not taken by surprised. But naturally, her heart turned to the things that matter most in life. So when I went to see her, she asked me about several things that troubled her.
"I can't remember all my sins so I can confess them and make them right," she said. "What about the sins I can't remember?"
What a joy it was to remind her that when Christ died for her sins, He died for all her sins. When she accepted His gift of forgiveness, the Bible says all her sins were blotted out, "like a thick cloud" (Isaiah 44:22). Hebrews 10:14 says, "Their sins and iniquities I will remember no more." Psalm 103:12 says, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." When she trusted Jesus, He gave her everlasting life, eternal life. As John 5:24 promises, at that very moment she crossed the line from sinner to child of God, and she was safe forever. There are no sins recorded against her in the Book of Life that she need confess.
"But I've never brought somebody else to Jesus."
"Oh, dear Laura, that's not the only way you serve Jesus. The Bible says some people sow the seed of the Gospel, some water the ground to help the seed grow, and some reap the harvest. You haven't had a chance to reap the harvest, but you've certainly sown the seed and watered it! You've shown us the love of Jesus, not just talked about Him."
"But I've lived the Christian life for such a short time. I regret the wasted years I lived for myself instead of Him."
I turned in my Bible to one of my most favorite parables, in Matthew 20. The owner of a vineyard went to the town square early in the morning to hire people to work in his vineyard. He promised them each a day's wage. Several times he again went into town to find more workers, and each time he promised them a fair wage. At five o'clock in the afternoon he went once more to the town square and hired a few more. When it came time to pay the workers, the ones who'd worked only one hour that day were paid a full-day's wage. Why? Because the owner wanted to pay them a full wage! He valued what they had done in the time they had. "And so, dear Laura, the Lord Jesus treasures the time you have served Him. He understands, and He loves you."
Many things in life suddenly become unimportant when eternity looms. Thank God for His trustworthy, clear guidance in His Holy Word when we are compelled to assess the things in life that matter most.
Sometimes I Ask God "Why?"
A Word of Encouragement from Elizabeth Rice Handford
O.K., I'll admit it right away, that sometimes when I ask God "why?" it's really a stupid question with an obvious answer, and I shouldn't have had to ask.
When I was a little girl, our family read aloud a chapter from the Bible every day. We were in the book of Proverbs, and came to Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Rather than being struck by the obvious warning in the verse, and probably being a little smart-alecky, I said to God, "How come, God, don't you know good English? 'End' is a single subject and 'are' is a plural verb; subject and verb are supposed to agree!"
Later I learned that God gave us His Word in Hebrew and Greek. Somebody had translated that verse into English. Furthermore, I learned about a "compound subject" which takes a plural verb. So much for that silly question.
Several years later, sitting on the front porch at night, looking up at the bright Texas stars, I said to God, "God, you're so big and great, why don't you know how hard it is to be a little girl ten years old with so many problems?"
Then I found Hebrews 4:14-16 in my Bible: "We have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to Him and never stop trusting Him. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same temptations we do, yet He did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it." My question was answered!
Now, sometimes the questions I want answers from God about are not trivial. They visceral, heart-shredding, about undeniable loss. "Oh, dear Lord, why did you take Tim away from us?" Tim was our first-born grandson, an ardent Christian, a committed husband and father of two little girls, an enthusiastic and competent worker. He died two days after his 36th birthday, shortly after a stem-cell transplant for a rare blood disease. We loved him, and suddenly he was gone. Why did God take away such a treasure?
But God knows me very well, and He knew that, even if He told me why He had taken Tim, I would not understand. His wisdom His love, His strength, are all beyond my human understanding. So in answering my "why," He only said,
Oh, what a wonderful God we have!
How great are his riches and wisdom and knowledge!
How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods!
Romans 11:33
So what should I do when my heart is breaking, and I don't understand what God is doing? Here's what King David decided to do:
LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty.
I don't concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me.
But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother.
Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.
O Israel, put your hope in the LORD-now and always. Psalm 131
A baby nestled in his mother's arms doesn't ask questions. His mother holds him, and that's enough. He snuggles, and rests. And that's what the Lord told me to do when I had questions I could not answer: Just trust Him. He is dependable. He i

From a reader:
Here's a transcript from Nova (on PBS, of all places) about the volcano in the Congo. The pertinent portion (about a fourth of the way down) says:
NARRATOR: The satellite identifies the gas as sulfur dioxide, SO2, the primary cause of acid rain. And Nyiragongo is producing more than any place in the world, up to 50,000 tons per day. That's more than the amount produced by all power plants, factories and cars in the United States. And the high concentration of SO2 is another clue for forecasting the next eruption.
Faster, please.

Promoting Your Online Business ? Consider Using Webinars
After Reviewing ClickMeeting for TheWebReviewer this week, I put on my internet marketer hat.
Don't Buy Another Money Making Product Until You Watch These FREE Videos!
QUESTION: (Rhonda) I am having problems changing the font size of my H1text. Is this very important? If so, how do I go about changing it?
Changing the text and/or style of an H1 tag is simple in CSS. It does not affect anything other than how the visitor sees it though (i.e., if you use a large font, it means nothing more than a smaller font, in SEO terms or how Google sees it).
You can change the H1 tag locally or in the CSS definition file.
If you want to change all of the H1 tag settings in your entire website, you would do this in the CSS file:
h1 {
font-size: 24px;
You would use the h1 tag as you normally would:

This is my H1 tag

You can define a class in the CSS file which allows you to define your new style whenever you wish anywhere on the site:
.h1style {
font-size: 24px;
You would add this class to your h1 tag, when you wish it:

This is my H1 Tag

* Remember to add the "." when defining it in the CSS to classify it as a class.
Finally, you can do it locally using a style attribute (without the CSS file):

This is my H1 Tag

All of the above do the exact same thing. Their use is based on how often you use the style and how you want it defined (whether globally or locally).
Also, remember you can add other styles to the same definition (like color):

This is my H1 Tag that is Red and 24px high

I find that being able to change the styles of my text for header and other standard tags to be quite invaluable! Knowing a little bit of CSS can go a long way. Give this a try!
The easiest thing to try first is the local definition using the style attribute. If this is working for you, consider creating or editing your own CSS file!
Good luck! cheers…matt
My name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer.

What Philadelphia Needs to Keep Moving Forward
Everyone knows the story of Philadelphia's resurgence over the past few decades; the city transitioned from a ghost town with a declining population, making a 180 the mid-2000s to produce the highest growth rate of millennials of the top US metro areas in 2015.
But are we moving fast enough? The answer is no. The city's job growth rate is at 1.1 percent, far behind other large metropolitan areas as well as the national average of 2.8.
"I think what we need now is a fresh approach," said Councilman Allan Domb in a Philadelphia Magazine article that outlined 10 ideas that could help Philadelphia ramp up growth. "We need to look at every process, everything we do, and say: If we didn't do it this way, if we started fresh today, how would we do it now? Otherwise, everything is just a Band-Aid. And 60 years of Band-Aids doesn't work."
The article outlines different ideas that Philadelphia needs to take in order to save itself from decline:
- Treat the jobs issue like the crisis it is
- Be friendlier to businesses, both small mom-and-pop shops and corporations alike
- Overhaul city taxes
- Make modernization of transit and infrastructure a priority
- Have public-private partnerships focus on schools
- Establish collaboration and communication between government, nonprofits and businesses
- Market Philadelphia far and wide as the best place to live, work, play and do business
- Leverage the strong presence of eds and meds
- Take ideas of how to grow from other cities and use them here
Although Philadelphia has made immense strides over the years, we still aren't growing fast enough. Corporations, nonprofits, small businesses and government must unite in order to move forward together.

Diabetes directly affects sperm quality, male fertilityJuly 9th, 2008 - 5:00 pm ICT by IANS
London, July 9 (IANS) Researchers from Queen's University have shown that excess sugar in the blood directly affects sperm quality and consequently male fertility, overturning popular perceptions. The increasing number of youths being diagnosed with diabetes has coincided with global concerns over male fertility, pointed out Con Mallidis of Queen's in Belfast, who led the research.
"But this is not simply a coincidence. We have shown for the first time that diabetes adversely influences male fertility at a molecular level," he added.
Scientists studied semen samples from diabetic men receiving insulin therapy. On routine microscopic examination, the semen samples appeared normal, except for slight decrease in volume.
"But when we looked for DNA damage, we saw a very different picture," said Mallidis, adding that this is not part of a routine semen analysis.
"Sperm RNA was significantly altered, and many of the changes we observed are in RNA transcripts involved in DNA repair. And comparison with a database of men of proven fertility confirmed our findings.
"Diabetics have a significant decrease in their ability to repair sperm DNA, and once this is damaged it cannot be restored."
Transcription is the synthesis of RNA under the direction of DNA, and is the first step towards gene expression, where the information from the gene becomes a product such as a protein translating the genetic information into a cellular function.
Errors in transcription cause errors in the function of the gene. "We were particularly interested to see a 14-fold decrease in the expression of a protein called ornithine decarboxylase, responsible for the production of compounds responsible for cell growth that help stabilise the structure of DNA."
"We also found that spermatogenesis 20, a factor unique to the testis and whose function remains unknown, was greatly increased. Taken together, these factors indicate clearly that having diabetes has a direct influence on the health of semen."
These findings were presented Wednesday at the 24th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.

ASL Deconstruction: 'No Day Like Today' from the musical RENT14 May 2015, by Articles in
This article was first published by Kaitlyn on The Creative Pensieve.
Recently, I was asked about the well-known phrase "No day but today" from the 1996 Broadway musical Rent and how to translate it into ASL and still retain the concept of the original lyrics. Here is a prime example of how captioning and interpreting can both affect the meaning of a line of lyric and twist the intent of the words being sung onstage (or onscreen, as in the 2005 Hollywood adaptation of the musical).
Not only that, this discussion also serves a purpose of giving another reason why I prefer sign language interpreters over captioning for musicals.
The difference between captioning and interpreting a show, especially a musical, is that the captions cannot convey the aural impact that music showcases through both word and instruments, and sign language interpreters have the ability to convey the essence of the music through body language and delivery of the lyrics by the hands using timing and rhythm.
First, let's discuss "Season of Love" and the influence of captioning (and/or subtitles) on the Deaf/HOH viewer.
With the 2005 film adaptation of Rent, the television set- supplied captions showed the opening to the song "Seasons of Love" as "525,600 minutes" instead of the original lyrics of "Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes", and thus some of the impact of the song is lost. The Deaf/HOH audience that aren't knowledgeable with the music of Rent are thus led to believe the English lyrics were along the lines of "525,600 minutes" and appear confused when told that the lyrics were otherwise. I have seen select individuals sign the phrase as "5-2-5-6-0-0 MINUTES" and immediately know where they got their source of information from.
To preserve this impact, the captioning should have taken a lead from the English subtitles (available through the DVD menu) and use "Five hundred (break; new line) twenty-five thousand (break; new line) six hundred minutes".
Fortunately, sign language interpreters in the performing arts field use the second format with a similar approach with "5-HUNDRED," (pause) "25-THOUSAND," (pause) "6-HUNDRED MINUTES."
With that in mind, let's look at another example. Do consider the catchphrase from the same musical: "No day but today". This particular phrase occurs in multiple songs ("Another Day", "Life Support", "Finale B", among others) during the musical as a refrain of the message of the entire show. Loosely interpreted, it means that we should live every day as if it was our last. Live life to the fullest potential it can offer. While singing the phrase, there is an emphasis on specific words and/or syllables that implies the urgency of the message being shared between the actors on stage and the audience.
For those not familiar with the musical, the partial lyrics for "Finale B", one of the songs in the musical that includes the phrase, follows:
Add an interpreter or two, and the message could potentially be interpreted according to the interpretation each interpreter uniquely comes up with after analyzing the libretto. So, does the interpreter sign the message word for word for the Deaf/HOH audience member that insists on authenticity? Or does the interpreter translate the phrase to match the concept it carries, rather than the actual words being sung?
This is a conundrum because when one literally translates "No day but today" from English to sign language, it oftentimes comes across as "NO DAY BUT DAY". Of course this translation doesn't convey the message intended. Also, it does not inflict the same emotional impact as the original lyrics do. Not to mention, the Englishness of the word order throws people off.
If the sign language interpreter(s) were to consider the message as a whole concept rather than a word-for-word literal translation, they should imagine what the take-home message the actors want audiences to leave with.
Using this line of thought, one could possibly come up with "JUST ONE-DAY carpe diem NOW-NOW."
Note to the Reader: ASL is a manual language without a written counterpart, and one uses what is known academically as "glossing" when transcribing ASL signs on paper. While this discussion covers the translation issues that might surface when working with English and ASL, one should keep in mind that it also applies for other languages that face a similar barrier in translating literature. This is especially true for poetry and songs where the translation often fails to retain the meaning and impact of the original text.
Now, back to our discussion:
The particular sign for the concept of seizing the opportunity does not have a worthy English equivalent, but the Latin phrase carpe diem comes close. The sign is shown by grabbing an invisible opportunity presented on an upturned palm. Carpe diem, when translated in English, comes across as 'seize the day'.
Expanding upon the ASL gloss, the message of "no day but today" is presented as "JUST ONE-DAY carpe diem NOW-NOW" and rendered as "you have just one day; seize the day and make the most of it now as in today."
Let's take it a step further. How do we match the signs to the music to convey the mood and the urgency of the message being shared? In the musical, during "Another Day" and "Finale B", the phrase is repeated several times with increasing fervor and urgency. The interpreter could start out with a more placid "just one-day carpe diemnow-now" and working up to "JUST ONE-DAY CARPE DIEM NOW-NOW" with added emphasis on CARPE DIEM and the second NOW to match the music.
This comes closer to the original lyrics than "NO DAY BUT DAY."
Now, calling all performing arts interpreters and Deaf Sign Masters (and fellow Rentheads) that have worked (or seen the show for the tenth time) on the musical Rent – how did you sign this phrase?

The Practical Nursing program at CDI College is designed to train high calibre, knowledgeable, and competent practical nurses who will be able to work in collaboration with other members of a healthcare team. Graduates will have the skills to efficiently deliver patient-centred, culturally sensitive care to individuals, families and groups of all ages. They will also be well-versed in providing care in a variety of practice settings in BC.
The curriculum provides students with multiple learning opportunities to develop, integrate, and demonstrate knowledge, skills, and judgement that are translated into superior reflective practice that meet all competencies and standards set out by the College of Licensed Practical Nursing British Columbia (CLPNBC).
Practical nursing is the second largest nursing group in Canada, after Registered Nurses (RNs). Practical nurses treat health conditions, promote health, prevent illness and assist patients to achieve optimal levels of health and wellness. They work with a team of doctors and RNs to deliver the best possible care to patients in hospitals, long-term care facilities, doctor's offices, schools, and other healthcare settings.
Students of the Practical Nursing program will participate in four separate work experience opportunities in a range of healthcare settings so they are prepared for the tasks at hand upon graduation. Practical nursing students will also take part in a final preceptorship at the end of the program.
- High school graduation or equivalent.
- Pass college's admissions test.
- Criminal record check (in accordance with the Criminal Records Review Act).
- Immunization report (form provided by the College) as required by clinical partner sites and recommended by the B.C.

This website is best viewed in a browser that supports web standards.
Skip to content or, if you would rather, Skip to navigation.
As a Professional Education Unit (PEU) that envelops multiple content areas and faculty/student backgrounds, we seek to not only define diversity but also to enrich the diversity of our Unit.
Northwest Missouri State University defines diversity as differences and similarities among people by ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, exceptionalities, age, language, religion, sexual orientation, and geographical area.
The Northwest PEU recognizes the importance of defining the idea of diversity. We strive to instill our students with an understanding of diversity and how it interconnects within education practice. We have developed the following proficiencies to be acquired by our education students.
In order to create an intercultural competent educator, candidates will connect with their own cultural identities and how those identities influence their interactions with diverse learners by:
Description: Degree seeking undergraduate/graduate students and post baccalaureate students seeking educator certification are required to complete hours in diverse settings. Undergraduate students must complete 30 diversity hours. Fifteen will be completed in 62-371 Introduction to Special Education. Beginning in the fall of 2015, ten hours will be completed in experiences specific to racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity in 61-569 Multiculturalism in Education. Five other hours will be completed from a designated list of activities approved by the COTE Diversity Team. Students that are in the new undergraduate program redesign will acquire their additional five hours of diversity credit during phase one.
All education graduate programs will require that each candidate complete 12 clinical hours in a diverse setting. Six of these hours will be completed during 61-649 Issues in Education or 61-695 Philosophy of Education. The remaining six hours will be completed during an embedded course experience tailored to the graduate content area and must occur with populations that are racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse. These will culminate in a meaningful internship experience through which the candidate will interact with diverse populations, evaluate assumptions about teaching/administrating/counseling in diverse settings and reflect on how the experience may alter those assumptions and impact professional practice. The overall goal is to enable the student to observe/interact within and reflect on effective educational practice in diverse settings. Approved types of diversity experiences can be found online under approved diversity events on the diversity section of the Teacher Education Student Services website. A list of approved diversity events will be determined each semester by the COTE Diversity Team.
Proof of diversity hours must be uploaded to Tk20, whether they occurred within a course or outside of a course. *The only exceptions are diversity hours taking place at a Ploghoft Lecture or other large group acitivity with a sign-up sheet. Students only need to sign up at the event and do not need to upload proof of hours to Tk20.
Procedure to upload proof of diversity hours to Tk20:
*Directions include extra steps if diversity hours were linked to a course such as:
Questions about how many diversity hours you have completed? Contact the TESS Office at firstname.lastname@example.com
Questions about using Tk20 to upload diversit hours? Contact Mike McBride at email@example.com
The Diversity Event Proposal Form should be completed and submitted to the TESS Office by the end of the first week of the term in order to secure approval for the semester. The COTE Diversity Team will review all proposals and decide whether an event will be accepted for diversity credit. The team will also determine how many hours of diversity credit the event will be worth. Event coordinators will be notified about their event acceptance by the end of the first month of the term.
