Men of Steel
grief I've given Smallville on this site lately, I have to admit that this nostalgic promo vid from the CW looking back at the last nine years and pumping the upcoming final season managed to hit all the right buttons to bring me onboard for the proto-Superman series' home stretch:
And while we're on the subject, there's new word on the Man of Steel's next feature venture as well. No, nothing on Chris Nolan's planned reinvention just yet, but this could potentially be just as promising. The folks at Warners' "DC Universe" animated division, are currently at work on All-Star Superman, a DTV adaptation of the exemplary Grant Morrison-Frank Quitely comic series of the same name (one of the best runs I've seen in twenty-plus years of Super-fandom). As the comparison shot below shows, it certainly looks like they're doing their best to hew closely to Quitely's detailed linework in bringing it to animated life.
I'm excited by this, but also somewhat cautious given how Morrison wove so many layers of complexity into this most definitive of Super-epics that can't possibly be conveyed in a mere seventy-some minutes. When the feature hits this coming spring, listen for James Denton, Desperate Housewives' Mike the Plumber, voicing to the title role, as well as Mad Men's Christina Hendricks as Lois Lane, and Without a Trace star Anthony LaPaglia as Lex Luthor. Click over to Heat Vision for all the details, and click here to order Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, the next "DC Universe" release, due a week from Tuesday.

Yesterday was international cancer day. We always use 4th of february every year to commemorate the millions of people who have battled (and still battling) cancer across the world and to raise awareness, to encourage its prevention, detection and treatment .
let me first cast my heart-felt special thanks to the government on its various campaigns against cancer awareness, early detections and treatments. These campaigns these campaigns play what a wide role on an increased rate of cancer survial compared to years ago.
Yet, people still "dread up" about common cancer myths scenario probably arising from fear and lack of enough information about cancer. Let me therefore shade some lights today on the the common myths and misconceptions about cancer.
There is no cure for cancer. Yesterday I wore a t-shirt with the written message infront of it "early detection saves life" and some of street men found it strange and asked asked me, how can cancer detection save life while it has no cure so far?". Probably this is the biggest misconception. It gets abit confusing because we delve into technicalties but while the disease is incurable so far, the individual cancer patient can be cured. So while it's technically true that cancer as a broad topic has no cure, it's also horibly wrong and very much false to tell some one that they can't be cured of their cancer. Any cancer patient stands a wide chance to completely cure their cancer if detected at initial stages and attend to its treatment successfully. The myth that cancer isn't cureble arises because patient tend to detect their cancer at later stages when it's too late cure.
If I get contact with cancer patient, I will get cancer too. No type of cancer is contagious. A healthy person cannot catch a disease by breathing the same air or coming into contact with a person who has cancer. However, there are some cancers caused by contagious viruses. Human pappilommavirus (HPV) and hepatitis C increses the risk certain cancers such as cervical, anal, tonsil and liver cancer.
Only women get breast cancer. While the main risk factor for breast cancer is being a woman, breast cancer in men is indeed real.
Women are 100 times more likely to get breast cancer than men but since men also have breast tissues, it is still possible for them to develop breast cancer at some point in life. The recent report from WHO clearly shows that men are diagnosed with breast cancer in thousands figures worldwide, and the figure is on the rise. I there fore urge men to get regular breast cancer screening.
I have a lump somewhere on my body, it's cancer. Not every abdnormality is an automatic cancer diagnosis. It could be just a cyst that would either absorb itself into the body or need to be surgically removed. Some tumours are benign-meaning they are not caused y cancer; and to be sure, that's why screening matters.

Cooper Campbell Day
Leave a mark!
WinterKids' Cooper Campbell Day was an event to celebrate the life of Maine teen, Cooper Campbell, who was killed by a drunk driver on the Maine Turnpike in April of 2008. Steve Campbell, Cooper's father, says fifteen-year-old Cooper was an avid skier and snowboarder who "enjoyed winter with his whole heart and lived by the words 'live, learn, listen, leap, laugh, love, and leave a mark.'"
Read Steve Campbell's stirring testimonial about his son Cooper and what WinterKids means to him.
For 5 years, WinterKids and Shawnee Peak helped "leave a mark" for Cooper by bringing kids and families out on the slopes to learn and have fun together. Each year, from 2009 to 2013, 100 kids got a chance to try skiing and snowboarding for the very first time, with free lessons, rentals, and lift tickets donated by Shawnee Peak!

Midnight in Tel Aviv (2 Night – Israel, 2010)
Posted by Dan Romascanu under movies
No Comments
Israeli film makers like playing with confined spaces. A couple of years ago first-time director Samuel Maoz was skillfully confining in Lebanon the drama of young men caught up in the cruelness and absurdity of the war as they participate in and watch the fight and fear for their lives and dreams from within a tank. Now another first-time director Roi Werner has the two heroes of his film watch the Big City (Tel Aviv may not be that impressive in numbers but it is for Israel the closest Israelis can get to the big cosmopolitan metropolis of the world) from within a car wandering endlessly at night in search of a parking spot. Israelis will confirm that it is not that unrealistic at all to have a full relationship develop and break while looking for a parking spot in Tel Aviv.
The name of the film has a double sense – it can mean 'two people in the night' and it can mean '2 o'clock' the hour when things start happening in the film. In Woody Allen's wonderful Midnight in Paris magic happens after midnight. This is not the case with Tel Aviv, if magic had happened the two heroes who met in a disco bar would have found a parking place and consumed their one night stand without letting the story happen and us see them wondering through a desert and rather ugly space of a few blocks in the center of the city. The whole world of the film is the way the relation develops between the young woman who plays the un-inhibited but does not really seem to be able to avoid the greatest fear of all – becoming emotionally involved – and the young man who seems to be the dullest man a woman has ever met, but gives the feeling that he hides a secret in his soul and not only in the trunk of his car. This could be a pure sexual relation, and the two characters do not even have names in the film, or are interested about each other names, in the good tradition started by Last Tango in Paris. There is almost no sex in this film, just a lot of talk about sex, and the feeling is that if they would have done it the story and the film would have had no reason to be. The making and breaking of the relation between the two is the thing.
Such films rely to a large extent on actors, and the two two young actors do a fine job. Keren Berger is at her best, the typical Israeli Girl (or one of the types), lovely, verbose, fragile – it's hard not to like her character. Yaron Brovinsky who also participated in the writing of the script together with the director is the Guy, his character is apparently harder to crack, but the revelation towards the final of the movie will throw him in a different light (which makes sense completely). A few well known Israeli actors (Keren Mor, Dir Benedek) among them support the film with short appearances. They are the characters that may be making of Tel Aviv a different city than the dull landscape that is only a background here, but this would be a different type of fabric than the two-characters anti-romantic story that makes this agreeable movie.

Rice University's George R. Brown School of Engineering is top-ranked for its education and research programs. The School of Engineering is a leader in computational science and engineering and simulation and modeling. With pioneering research in nanotechnology, Rice's School of Engineering has made significant contributions in bioengineering, materials science and energy. Its strengths in information technology include data science, high performance computing, compilers and digital signal processing.
The School of Engineering at Rice has a tradition of giving students a sound foundation in the fundamentals of engineering but today, those fundamentals must be augmented by experiential learning and "soft skills." Developing leadership and entrepreneurship skills and ensuring that all our students have internships improves our students' teamwork and communication skills, gives them real engineering experience, and for those who are entrepreneurially inclined, provides the knowledge and resources to turn ideas into startups.
Collaboration is the key to engineering research at Rice. Faculty members, graduate students, undergraduates and research scientists work with researchers from across campus, across the street in the Texas Medical Center, across town in the energy sector, and beyond, to tackle some of the most challenging problems of our times.

As I write this, there are two days left of school.
For me, there won't be any History instruction in these last two days as Thursday will be spent in graduation rehearsal all day (which is an instruction unto itself) and Friday is the 8th grade yearbook signing party.
But what there will be is a lot of goodbye.
There seems to be an assumption that teachers can't kick the kids out the door fast enough when the end of June rolls around.
There seems to be an assumption that we wait all year for that last day of school to say "Goodbye, See Ya, Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out," so we can hit the beach.
If people only knew.
The last days of school are an exercise in letting go, saying goodbye, and watching a piece of you walk out of a door.
In my case, 126 pieces of me.
Which is not to say we aren't ready for them to go.
We are. Not because we want to be rid of them, but because we know they are ready to move on and that it is time.
They are not the same people they were when they walked into our rooms in the fall.
They are bigger, stronger, smarter, faster, braver, better than they were.
They are more than ready to meet the next challenge ahead of them.
But they'll do it without us.
It's true...we are already thinking about next year's kids and getting excited about new learning, new plans, new relationships.
But we're sad at being left and we miss them.
Every single year.
And maybe...just maybe...that's why I have such a hard time with my own children growing up.
Because I am being outgrown and left every single year.
It is a heartbreak unique to teachers.
The students enter in the fall and you know, already, that they will leave you in the summer.
And you still can't help but fall in love with them over and over and over again.
I cleaned out my classroom after school today.
Started putting things away, recycling papers, taking down posters.
I was left with this:
An empty room.
A sad room.
Because a classroom without students is a sad place to be.
My 8th graders graduate next Tuesday night and I will stand behind that podium and call their names and watch them take their diplomas and walk out of my life.
I just hope that somewhere, deep inside, they will always carry a piece of me with them, because I will always carry a piece of them with me.

I went to Gambia thinking the hardest aspect of the country to capture would be the people. I'm not a natural portrait photographer and was a little nervous of asking the locals if it was OK to take their picture. Not everybody wants a lens stuck in their face when you're trying to earn an honest days pay selling fish or vegetables at the market – and that's fine and to be respected – but in the end the combination of a good guide, a bit of friendly banter and some polite requests resulted in me not only coming back with hundred of portraits – but also some of my fondest memories from the trip. The friendly interaction with the locals – the kids at Kanuma Village, the stallholders of Brikama market, the old man of the Makasutu Forest…. fantastic memories….
I have nothing more that I can say but enjoy the beauty, elegance and dignity of the Gambian people.
Thank you to the people of Brikama Market, Mandina Lodges, Makasutu Forest and Kanuma Village. Thank you The Gambia Experience. Thank you Gambia…

I have had an interest in witchcraft for the better part of 16 years. With supportive parents, at the age of 13 when I first became interested in witchcraft, I was able to explore that interest and grow in my knowledge. Coming into my twenties I began to study seriously and work toward initiation, I found a tradition to study in, I am now an initiated High Priestess, Elder and Pagan Clergy, although no longer a part of the same tradition. My path diverged quite dramatically from their tenants and beliefs.
I am intense at times, lazy during others. I love to read, to sleep and to write. I am opinionated, conditionally selfish, thoughtful and a book addict. I love to create beautiful gardens, read cards and play with herbs. I'm animal mad, garden mad (I tend to post pictures of my garden quite prolifically), and when not reading, sleeping, writing, being herbal mad or outside, I tend to spend my time cooking.
I love to blog because it is a way to connect with other people. I live in the middle of nowhere so people are few and far between. I've met some fantastically wonderful people online, some who I now consider to be good friends. I'm hoping to get to know even more fabulous bloggers across the blogosphere and to basically learn and have a great time.

Medicare Vision Benefits General Information Guidelines & FAQs Updated March 2018
Medicare is the federal government's way of providing healthcare assistance to the eligible members and those people who need it most. For the Medicare Vision Benefits, the government has numerous programs and healthcare coverage to ensure that the people have good eye sight.
In this regard, there are Medicare vision benefits for eligible and their beneficiaries. Among the most common information that you need to know about the Medicare vision benefits are the following:
Who is Eligible
The government gives priorities to qualifying citizens who are 65 years old and above to be eligible for Medicare vision benefits. These individuals are those who are to old to work and earn income to support their healthcare needs.
People with specified disabilities and those who are classified to have low income than the average level are also eligible for Medicare vision benefits.
What Covers the Benefits
Depending on the state you are living in, Medicare has different eligibility programs and benefits for qualified individuals. For most states, children who are younger than 21 years old and in the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) program can avail eye exams, eyeglass frames and lenses for their vision benefits.
For adults, the state will determine how frequently a vision benefit is claimed annually. Some of the most common Medicare vision benefits for adults include Medicare Part A or Hospital Insurance.
Medicare Part A helps pay the expenses, prescription drugs and medicine. Emergency room attention is also covered. However, routine eye exams are not included. Some Medicare programs in some states also cover surgery for cataract.
Requirements to Be Eligible in Medicare Vision Benefits
Each state has different sets of policies when it comes to determining the eligible individuals for the healthcare programs – specifically for the vision benefits. Among the most common requirements is that the individual must be a resident of a certain state in a specific period of time.
An individual must also fall under the age identified by the Medicare. It is also required that an individual falls under a specific income bracket to be an eligible Medicare beneficiary.
Be Informed
It is very important to be informed especially when it comes to taking care of your eyes. This is why the government offers a helpline where people can ask for their vision benefits concern.

Fall is not welcomed quite as enthusiastically here in the UK as it is in North America. Although dark, wet, rainy fall days are more common here than bright, cool and crisp ones, I am convinced this lack of enthusiasm has less to do with the weather and more to do with a distinct lack of a certain important ingredient. For me, pumpkin is as indispensable to fall as gorgeous coloured leaves are – although we have distinctly less – and less colourful versions – of those here as well.
From a culinary standpoint, pumpkin has caught on in savoury dishes here but there is still a marked hesitation amongst native Brits to embrace pumpkin pies and cakes. Fortunately this is beginning to change thanks to cooks like Nigella Lawson, magazines such as BBC Good Food and the influence of ex-pats and dual citizens like myself. I personally am convinced that if Brits could just discover the joys of pumpkin they might enjoy the season more. I'm risking being roasted by the language police, but I also yearn for the embrace of the term 'fall'. Autumn sounds so formal and 'autumnal' is downright funereal.
If one were attempting to embrace the joys of pumpkin and indeed of fall – or autumn if you insist – this delicious Spicy Pumpkin Bundt Cake would be a wonderful place to start.
The recipe is from the inimitable Martha Stewart. It does make a very big cake so do check your bundt pan first. I was convinced mine was the 14 cup pan called for in the recipe but the rounded top on the cake as it came out of the oven convinced me otherwise. If you don't have a 14 cup bundt pan, you could perhaps make some muffins with the extra batter. Having said that, I had to trim the cake down to make the bottom flat for glazing and it was no hardship nibbling on the trimmings!
Spicy Pumpkin Bundt Cake has a pronounced ginger hit which everyone loved so although the spices Martha calls for sound extremely abundant, I urge you to follow the recipe to the letter. It is the most versatile of cakes. It's lovely with a side of ice cream or a bit of whipped cream on top, and goes incredibly well with seasonal blackberries. We had it for dessert and sometimes even breakfast over several days and it kept really well at room temperature. Leftovers make an amazing bread pudding or you can chop them up and use them in individual trifles drizzled with a bit of sherry, port or rum and layered with a bit of custard, fruit and cream.
Like so many spicy cakes, Spicy Pumpkin Bundt Cake is definitely rich and needs only the simplest of glazes. I mixed 1 cup of confectioner's sugar with a tablespoon or so of water and a drop of vanilla, stirring until I got a lovely smooth consistency for drizzling. Be sure to wait until the cake is completely cooled before you glaze it.
I have changed nothing about Martha's recipe, so cannot in good conscience share the recipe in print here. Please click here to go to Martha's recipe.

Sultan Ahmed – Founder
I was born in Karachi, Pakistan, moved to Dubai before I was one, and to Egypt right after my third birthday. I spent four years and some months living there. I sailed the Nile, took a little yellow submarine into the Red Sea, and walked inside the pyramids at Giza. I moved to Wadsworth, Ohio, when I was seven years old. I arrived on December 31, 1998 in the middle of a terrible snowstorm and on the brink of the new year. In retrospect, that arrival date is very poetic, symbolic of new beginnings and what not.
I graduated from Wadsworth High School in 2008 and matriculated (SAT word for you) to Case Western Reserve University at the age of 16. I graduated from the BA/MA program in 2011 with degrees in Philosophy and Bioethics respectively.
I see the world in a way different from most, as I'm sure you will discover throughout reading the material on this site, and through engaging with me if you decide to contribute your own. I seek to encourage those I can, particularly those I care about, to try and understand why they see things the way they do. I have found through my own experiences that this is best accomplished through active interaction with others, through discourse and discussion, through thoughtful and incisive exercise of the mind and heart. I have started this site to help begin such a discourse. It is my hope that I can spur a high level of discussion which will help all those involved enrich their respective understandings of the world.
That's me in a nutshell. If you want to know a bit more about my work, visit this page. If you want to know anything else, feel free to email me or leave a comment. And remember, I want to know all about you too, so don't hesitate to interact.
Paul Ryland – Contributing Writer – Paul's Musings
I am one of billions of life forms existing on this planet within the ties of natural evolution. But just as the humble bee, whose life is surely no more meaningful, no more meaningless, I delight in the sipping of nectar from life's most prodigious flowers. I "toe the line" as Thoreau more elegantly put it, between the eternities of the past and future, and strive to make every moment an experience, to pull the remarkable from the mundane.
I am a very passionate person, throwing my all at whatever it is capturing my intrigue at a given moment. I love soccer, America, hiking, grilling, cowboys, saxophoning (it's a real verb, look it up), Virginia Woolf, arguing, people named Sultan, my pooch Comet, emotional monologues, Good Will Hunting, bonfires, looking fine, philosophizing, and Budweisers. And every once in awhile I write something.
Please, don't be afraid to reach out to let me know what you think of my stuff, share with me writings of your own, or find out more things I love. Enjoy!
Justin Knight – Contributing Writer – The Fountain of Youth
"I'm Justin." A two word sentence that was often my first response to a question and the end of the discussion. You see when you're a twin growing up you quickly realize that your existence causes a lot of confusion for those around you. Best to dispel cases of mistaken identity quickly. This sentence is often followed by either an introduction or awkward silence and stuttering. I'm going to go with the introduction.
I'm Justin, a sprouting programmer, professional geek and lover of science who hails from the lustrous town of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. There I spent most of my young life either hiking through the woods and streams or in my friends basement at a LAN party playing Warcraft. Not the most similar things and choosing between the two for college I went with the outdoors life and studied Biology at the University of Minnesota. There I focused on good test scores and copious amounts of volunteer work to make that med-school application flawless. It's also where I grew my vision of living forever which culminated in my Senior presentation on the Ethics of Immortality. Aging and death enchanted me and I was often up late at my desk reading through the latest studies on mice or cells. There I was then all set to apply to medical school and pursue my dream of becoming a doctor who could solve the mystery of death (cliche, I know), but here I am now still with no doctorate and certainly not one with an M in front of it. Why that's because Justin the programmer was born.
The summer after i graduated I ended up working at a job that forced me to learn a bit of coding. This knowledge fanned a flame I hadn't felt since I was a kid and I no longer felt that medicine was the route I wanted to pursue. I wanted to be a creator, a tech wizard, a programmer. Of course with no formal training it has not been easy to learn and catch up to my peers, but ihey they say where this is a will, there is a way.
So that's a lot about me and now you know a little bit about why <insert name of blog sections> exist. Young programmer coming from a new field? Join me on my climb into the world of development. Want to discuss science and philosophy? Help me find the key to immortality.
If you want to just message me for a conversation I'm happy to oblige, just remember I'm Justin. And you are?

Maddy Prestridge – Contributing Artist – The Drawing Board
To say I had a rather dull beginning to life is an understatement.
Born in Orville, Ohio and raised in Wadsworth, Ohio, activities were not exactly found in abundance. To find adventure and things that interested me I had to very much go out of my way from the fairly rural towns. Being an only child only added to the challenge. This challenge, however, did not last long after the discovery of my first paints and pencils. Unfortunately for my parents, drawings started to fill my life not only on paper and art projects, but also on the walls…and the floors…and the ceiling on some rare cases. But it was only the beginning of what could easily be called an excessively imaginative and exciting childhood only to be filled with more art and a substantial amount of injuries. I attended Montessori schools until I turned twelve, which was about when I transferred to the Wadsworth public schools where, due to my different way of thinking, my grades tended to suffer. But even through a school system that taught me just about nothing, I started learning on my own and discovered more things than I could probably tell you. Nonetheless, I'm a 2013 graduate of Wadsworth High School and fully intend to pursue a career in Illustration and Film after building my portfolio for the next year after starting my tattoo apprenticeship. So here I am. getting roped into discussing and drawing up art things on the internet with this guy named Sultan, who's pretty awesome, and possibly the only person who can beat me in Tetris, fun fact.
Anyways, I dig a lot of things other than just art; honestly, there are countless things I could list off for a group of complete strangers, but I'll just name a few. I play copious amounts of ultimate frisbee and golf, weekly if not more often. I built my own gaming computer and use it frequently (steam steals all of my money). I cook and grill like a champion and can make a pretty mean fire. I enjoy the occasional cigar with scotch and can't say I'd pass up a solid party. I'm very much obsessed with movies, especially the classics, and play several instruments. (the electric bass is in fact my jam). Other than that, I should note I competed for four years in International Extemporaneous Speaking achieving numerous awards, and I absolutely love Arrested Development.
Also, sarcasm. I use that more than I should, probably.
If you want to know anything else or talk to me about anything in particular don't be afraid to ask, e-mail, sing me a song, whatever. I'll do my best to get back to you! Nice to meet you!

I'd really like to quote you in a debate tournament next weekend but I'm not sure how to lead you in and make it seem like I have a credible source. I read your bio and I'm very impressed, but I'm just not sure what to say!
Hi Mandy. Thanks for the compliment; I'm flattered 🙂 I do teach philosophy at Hiram College, so I suppose if you really wanted to quote me, you could say I was a philosophy instructor and just quote me that way. Although, I would recommend finding more established and credible sources 😛
Dear Sultan Ahmed,
Thank you so much for your website! As a first time LD debater it has helped me so much. I just wanted to thank you for your analysis of the resolution. You wrote Mandy that you recommend finding a more established and credible source to quote in a debate round, do you have any suggestions of who I could quote? Anyways, thank you so much! 😀
Hi Maria,
You are welcome; I am happy to help 🙂 For quotes, I recommend philosophers like Locke, Hobbes, Plato, Kant, etc….
Where could I find cards by these philosophers? I really need a Neitzche one but I can't find any!
Hi Iksha,
Your problem is that you're looking for cards. Hobbes, Locke, Nietzsche, Hume, and the others have all been dead for quite a long time. I suggest you take the time to actually go read their works. No brief company provides philosophical evidence other than mine. If you're interested, feel free to visit my academy website.
Hi there, Mr. Ahmed. My name is Anthony, and I attend Revere High School in Ohio. This year I qualified for the NSDA National Tournament in SLC, Utah along with a Wadsworth debater named Sophie Boulter. I would just like to say that I really appreciate what you are doing on this website, and if there is any way that I could help you out, I would love to! Thanks and have an awesome day.
Hi Anthony,
I'm glad you like the site; it's always nice to hear when people appreciate the work we do here. What grade are you in? We're always looking for new writers for the blog, and the Academy has a few roles as well if you'd like to jump in and help out. Let me know you're email if you're interested, and we can chat about what opportunities we have available.

page 5--Depravity
When talking with a missionary who is currently living in Haiti, he stated this fact: The struggles of sin may be different from nation to nation, but the common denominator for all people worldwide is the innate depravity of the human heart. Well said.
The bible confirms this statement: The heart is deceitful above all things , and desperately sick; who can understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9)
The Haitian's heart may wrestle with voodoo and greed and sexual promiscuity, while the American heart may wrestle with materialism and self-centeredness and...sexual promiscuity. And then there's other nations, like France and Italy, who wrestle with living for the moment and complete non-interest of God and...sexual promiscuity.
Let the every tribe, tongue, and people group face this truth together: we are all depraved. And like the picture beside these words, we're left in darkness.
The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned said; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. Psalm 14:2
page 6--Hope
But there is hope for all nations! The Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. (I John 4:14).
In Him (Jesus) was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:4-5). So there you have it, Jesus Light of the world, is our only hope. When we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, He enters our messy hearts, cleans us up with His overwhelming love, and then sets us in right standing before Him.
THEN, the amazing thing is this--Jesus calls us the light of the world. (Matt. 5:14). We become His lamp-bearers and are now called to go into to the world (our own homes, our classrooms, our workplaces, across the street, and across the ocean) to bear this marvelous light. What a privilege!
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe tho the Lord the glory due His name. Psalm 96:4-8

Achievement Attained - ARPS
Associateship of The Royal Photographic Society (ARPS)
I've got it! After two years of various miss-starts and rejected projects I've done it. At some points along the road to attaining my ARPS I thought I wouldn't make it. Was it worth it?

A Log Home Christmas
We lived in a beautiful log home for five years, and the Christmas holidays were always a very special time in our household. Our Great Room was large - 24' x 40' with 12 ft. wall heights, log beams and a huge antler chandelier.
It was the perfect backdrop for a lodge style Christmas!
We put up an 8 foot Christmas tree the first two years we lived in our log home, and although it was very lovely, was dwarfed by the massive room. So we purchased a beautiful 12 ft. tall Christmas tree with an 8 ft. circumference...it was huge!
And, this tree was the type that you put together one branch at a time, so it was a two day project to get the tree up, lights on and all of the ornaments, etc. placed.
Here are some pictures of our log home at Christmas!

When doctors advise Hannah and her husband that her excessive weight may keep them from having children, the friction between the two threatens their marriage.
Aurora, COLO (PRWEB) August 13, 2015
In the next episode of "Extreme Weight Loss" Season 5, Hannah (310 pounds, Austin, TX) is a wife and successful career woman who seems to have it all. But when doctors advise Hannah and her husband that her excessive weight may keep them from having children, the friction between the two threatens their marriage.
Hannah's emotional attempts to save her relationship and become the healthy young woman she dreams of being will be featured on "Extreme Weight Loss" on TUESDAY, AUGUST 18 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC.
From a young age, Hannah (now 27 years old) was forced to prepare her own meals. Her divorced mother worked nights as a nurse and slept during the day, leaving Hannah to make her own – mostly unhealthy – dietary choices. Now, after years of bad eating habits, doctors are telling her that becoming pregnant at her current weight would be dangerous.
Hannah's yearlong weight loss transformation journey is her chance to become healthy enough to complete her family.
"Extreme Weight Loss" returns to the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center for Season 5. This is where cast members will again spend the first 90 days of his or her weight loss journey. Holly Wyatt, MD, medical director for the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, also serves as medical director for the television program. She's affectionately known as "Dr. Holly" to the cast members and is seen on the show each week helping participants safely lose up to half of their body weight.
At the end of this episode, Hannah will continue the tradition of "paying it forward" by giving a friend or family member the opportunity to transform his or her life. The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will provide the designee a place at the one-week, evidence-based Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp transformation program.
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp was inspired by Wyatt's participation in the TV show. She designed the boot camp to provide participants with the tools they need to complete their own successful weight loss transformations— without the TV cameras! Limited space is available in upcoming boot camps and weight loss seekers are encouraged to learn more and register now.
The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center is recognized as a global leader in the fight against obesity. It offers some of the country's most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss and weight management approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services. Follow us at AnschutzWell on Facebook and Twitter.
"Extreme Weight Loss" is produced by 3 Ball Entertainment. JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Matt Assmus and Brant Pinvidic are the executive producers.

EGO Me, I, the core about which all psycho-activity revolves. ELMAN Dave Elman lived from 1900 to 1967. Multi talented musician, radio host and hypnotist. Created the highly effective Elman induction which is considered a guaranteed hypnotic induction due to the choices given during the induction. ELMAN INDUCTION A very effective rapid hypnosis induction created by Dave Elman. It is considered the best guaranteed induction by many hypnotists since it is completely permissive and relies upon he subject to pace themselves into trance with the help of the hypnotist. Created by Dave Elman the renowned hypnotist, author and radio show host. Below is the Elman induction word for word. However it was originally used in 1963, that's fifty years ago, it is still generally accepted that it is a basis for a good induction but needs updating due to the wording being outdated but also there is quite a lot of questioning of the subject and this may have a tendency to unravel the trance slightly. Especially if there is any misunderstanding. So first will be the induction in pure form and next my own modified version. The Elman induction: Will you just take a good long deep breath and close your eyes...now relax the muscles around your eyes to the point where those eye muscles won't work and when you're sure they won't work....test them and make sure they won't work... ...And so on... Hope you enjoyed this sample of part of the E's. HAPPY READING And of course HAPPY ZAPPING

State Sen. R. Clayton 'Clay' Davis, excellently portrayed by actor Isiah Whitlock Jr. on "The Wire," was a corrupt and conniving man with a catchphrase that consisted of one word/slur pronounced over an exaggerated amount of time.
This word, this fantastic word, can be played on repeat thanks to a simple red button on a simple webpage. (Whether you should press this button at work will depend on your office, of course.)
Click the red button, hear Clay Davis say, "Shiiiit," hit the button again, hear Clay Davis say, "Shiiiit," etc.
The site comes with a counter. You can keep track of how many times you've hear Clay Davis say, "Shiiiit." Ours is already at a pretty high number.
If this wonderful and simple page isn't enough for you, there's also a Clay Davis saying "Shiiiit" app. It has pretty good reviews.
Based on this very NSFW audio compilation, hopefully Bunk will get his own app and button, too.

what users & critics saying about Jimmy
1/5 (19 users)
My Rating
Total reviews: (1)
By Pritam Roy(13 May 2008)
Jimmy is a sad start to Mimoh's career. The film story is outdated, treatment even worse. The story is a collage of films of 80's, when Hindi cinema was going through sort of a mid-life crisis. And the film has managed to pick up some films of the wrong kinds. The best thing about the movie is...no where it makes pretensions of any effort towards good film making. Most of the co-stars have been put together without much thought about their role or credentials.
However, Mimoh is really good with dancing, though may need a little brush up with dialogues and some work-outs ... » read more

Empire Maker has Wood journey delayed
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - It was not Mother Nature but a plane's mechanical failure that was to delay by one day the arrival of Empire Maker for Saturday's $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct.
Scheduled to leave Monday night aboard a cargo plane, Empire Maker and stablemates Aldebaran and Special Rate remained in Los Angeles after the plane suffered some sort of mechanical problem and could not take off. The trio of horses twice made the short trip from Hollywood Park to Los Angeles International Airport only to return to trainer Bobby Frankel's barn.
According to Frankel, if the plane was fixed in time, the horses were to leave Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. Pacific time. If not, then they would be on a second plane that was scheduled to leave Tuesday at 10 p.m. Pacific. Either way, the three horses were expected to be at Aqueduct Wednesday morning.
"The only inconvenience was they went to the airport twice," said Frankel, "but the airport's only five minutes away so it's not a big deal. I wanted to leave [Tuesday] night anyway because of the weather, so maybe it's a blessing."
While Empire Maker may miss a day of training because of the delay, he certainly wouldn't have been scheduled to do much on Aqueduct's main track Wednesday morning anyway. Following a six-inch snowstorm that hit New York on Monday, Aqueduct's main track was extremely sloppy Tuesday.
With rain in the forecast for Wednesday and Friday, there's a strong chance the Wood will be run over an off track.
Pete Sinacori, the assistant track superintendent, said that if the predicted rains did fall, "then Saturday will be a wet track of some sort."
Sinacori said the track was sealed Monday, and while the track is extremely wet on top, the cushion is in good shape.
"You could walk across the top of it and not sink in," Sinacori said. "We're happy with the way it is."
Fortunately, the temperature is not expected to dip below freezing, which should alleviate fears of the track freezing then thawing, possibly creating ice chunks in the surface.
The prospect of an off track for the Wood doesn't worry Frankel: "I don't think Empire Maker would have trouble handling it."
Storm Flag Flying still Comely-bound
Monday's snowstorm forced the closure of Belmont's main track for training on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Officials are hopeful the track can reopen Thursday morning.
Trainer Shug McGaughey, who trains almost exclusively over the main track, said the closure of the main track for two days would not affect Storm Flag Flying's status for next Friday's Comely Stakes at Aqueduct. Storm Flag Flying, last year's 2-year-old filly champion, breezed four furlongs Sunday in 47.34 seconds over the main track. After a day off Monday, Storm Flying galloped one mile Tuesday over the training track.
McGaughey also said that Yell, the Davona Dale winner who finished a distant fourth in last Saturday's Ashland at Keeneland, could still run in the Kentucky Oaks. Yell was scheduled to arrive at McGaughey's Belmont barn Tuesday afternoon on a flight from Lexington.
"I'll train her for a few days and evaluate the situation. Possibly she could run back," McGaughey said.
Of the Ashland, McGaughey said, "Throw that race out. She didn't get away good, and that sort of compromised everything. The Churchill track should suit her a lot better than Keeneland."
Beautiful America returns Thursday
Beautiful America, recently voted champion New York-bred 2-year-old filly for 2002, will make her 3-year-old debut Thursday in an entry-level, open-company allowance race at six furlongs.
Beautiful America won 4 of 6 starts at 2, including the restricted Joseph A. Gimma and Maid of the Mist stakes. Her only loss against fillies came in the East View Stakes at 1 1/16 miles. She also ran third against males in the New York Breeders Futurity at Finger Lakes.
Beautiful America spent most of the winter in Florida, where she had an uninterrupted training schedule, according to trainer Mike Hernandez, who is hoping to use Thursday's race as a stepping-stone to the $100,000 Park Avenue division of the New York Stallion Stakes at one mile on April 27.
Beautiful America will be part of a field that includes Lizzy Cool, winner of the Ruthless Stakes and the one to catch in this spot, and Xtra Heart, who finished second in both the Busanda and Busher stakes.
Beautiful America has not raced over an off track, but her sire, Dixie Brass, was a potent wet-track runner.
Alysweep 'knocked out' of Derby
Alysweep, who won the Gotham last month, is off the Triple Crown trail after finishing seventh in Saturday's Illinois Derby at Hawthorne.
Trainer Pat Reynolds said Alysweep, who was the third choice, came out of the 1 1/8-mile race a "little knocked out."
"He is better than that," Reynolds said. "There were a combination of factors - the ship, the new track. We are going to shorten him up, because he might not want to go that far. I think we might have a nice one-turn mile horse."
Reynolds said the $150,000 Withers, a mile race at Aqueduct on May 3, Kentucky Derby Day, is a possibility for Alysweep, a son of End Sweep.
Onthedeanslist earns Westchester berth
Onthedeanslist earned himself a start in next month's $100,000 Westchester Handicap with a hard-fought half-length victory over My Request in a one-mile classified allowance race Sunday. The Westchester, run at one mile, is the opening-day feature at Belmont, May 7.
It was the fifth career win from eight starts for Onthedeanslist, who is 3 for 3 at Aqueduct. Coming from slightly off the pace, Onthedeanslist covered one mile in 1:36.04 seconds.
"He seems to do just enough to win," trainer John Terranova said. "He waits on horses and just puts out just enough effort. He came back great out of the race; didn't seem tired."
Deadline readies for Bay Shore
Deadline worked three furlongs in a bullet 36 seconds at Laurel Park on Tuesday for Saturday's $150,000 Bay Shore.
Deadline enters the seven-furlong Bay Shore off a career-best effort in the Horatius Stakes at Laurel on March 23. Deadline earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 100 for his neck win over Gators N Bears, who is also probable for the Bay Shore.
Trained by John Salzman, Deadline has won 4 of 7 lifetime starts. His sole defeat this year came in the Best Turn at Aqueduct on Feb. 22, when he finished fifth in the slop. The Best Turn winner, Second in Command, was no match for Deadline in their rematch in the Horatius and finished eighth.
"All of Deadline's races have been good except the [Best Turn]," Salzman said. "If you look at the race, you'll see his hind end slip at the start, and he lost ground, and then the jock had him wide because of the mud."

This week's "Saturday Night Live" featured a mock-"Family Feud" with Team Trump facing off against Team Hillary.
Team Trump consisted of Kellyanne Conway, Ivanka Trump, Chris Christie and Vladimir Putin while Team Hillary featured Bill Clinton, Sarah Silverman, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Bernie Sanders.
The bit included, but was not limited to, Bill Clinton hitting on Ivanka Trump.
Kenan Thompson as Steve Harvey even told actress Margot Robbie's Ivanka, "Oh, you sexy. Yeah. I know that might sound inappropriate, but if your daddy can say it, so can I."

Blended families come in all shapes and sizes.
For example, you and your partner might both have children from a previous relationship, or one of you might be new to parenting. Your children might be of similar or very different ages. Or you might have a child together.
Where children live also varies across families. Some children might live with you some of the time, others might live with you most or all of the time, and others might visit only occasionally. Different children might have different arrangements – for example, a teenage boy might be mostly at his dad's, while his younger brother might be mostly at his mum's.
Many blended families prefer to just call themselves a family. They call all children brothers and sisters, rather than half-siblings or stepsiblings.
They might use terms like blended family, stepmum, stepdad or stepchild when they need to explain their situation – for example, to schools.
Other families use terms like stepfamily or blended family because that feels right for them. What you choose to call your family is up to you.
We stopped using terms like stepfamily and blended family, because there are so many different arrangements out there. So we are just family, end of story. We use both surnames – that includes everyone.
- Ken, 45, in a blended family with three children
There are lots of great things about being in a new family. For example:
Like any family, blended families have challenges.
It takes time to get used to living in a blended family. The first two years in a blended family are about getting used to the new family and routines and building family relationships.
It can also take time to establish your blended family's boundaries and rules. This can be because the families coming together have different family rules and because everyone is still getting to know each other.
When you first repartner your relationship with your former partner can go through a tricky time because your former partner might be feeling angry, insecure, upset or worried about the change. You might need to adjust your co-parenting agreement to fit with your new family arrangements.
The Australian Government uses official definitions of blended families and stepfamilies for gathering statistics and surveying trends in Australian households and families.
A blended family is 'a couple family containing two or more children, of whom at least one is the natural or adopted child of both members of the couple, and at least one is the stepchild of either partner in the couple'.
A stepfamily is 'a couple family containing one or more children, at least one of whom is the stepchild of one of the partners, and none of whom is the natural or adopted child of both members of the couple'.

Home teams on Primetime bit the bullet hard in NFL Week 10 as home favorites were crushed in all three of the NFL's marquee games this week. Let's take a look and find out why bettors everywhere are limping into NFL Week 11 after a brutal slate of losses.
NFL Thursday Night Football – Buffalo Bills (+3) Beat New York Jets 22-17
It was unknown at the time, but the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets would set the tone for NFL Week 10. The Jets, favored by 3 points at home vs. a divisional rival, laid an egg on national television and at no point in the game ever covered the spread. They came close down the stretch, but three turnovers by QB Ryan Fitzpatrick sunk Gang Green as they lost to their old coach Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills.
The Jets defense is one of the best in the league and going up against a subpar Bill's QB in the Meadowlands seemed like a favorable matchup for New York. It was quite the opposite as their defense couldn't force any turnovers, and their offense continually gave the ball back to the Bills with great field position.
If you took the Jets or the Over (42) you were out of luck heading into Sunday. However, at least Sunday Night would provide some reprieve, right?
NFL Sunday Night Football – Arizona Cardinals (+3) Beat Seattle Seahawks 39-32
The Hawks are 14-2 on Primetime in the Pete Carroll era. They have never lost a home Primetime game during that stretch. Russell Wilson has never lost back-to-back home games before in his career. The Hawks have never lost more than two home games in a season with Russ Wilson under center.
Then Sunday night happened.
The Cardinals came out to a double-digit lead by halftime, and after some back and forth action, the dust settled on a 7 point Cardinal win. The Seahawks defense, which had been 2nd in points against heading into Sunday night, gave up over 35 for the first time in over five seasons- and did so by coughing up another 4th quarter lead.
What makes this loss even worse is that the majority of the money ended up on both the Hawks (-3) and the Under (43.5). Much like Thursday night, bettors were left scrambling as they headed into the week's final primetime tilt on Monday night.
NFL Monday Night Football – Houston Texans (+11) Beat Cincinnati Bengals 10-6
Go figure the biggest upset of the week went down on Monday night. As 11 point favorites, the Bengals didn't even score a touchdown at home and lost outright for the first time all season. The Bengals offense did nothing all game and put up 0 points in the 2nd half. Drops, bad decisions, and a whole lot of J.J. Watt contributed to the Bengals picking up their first loss of the season.
The O/U was set at 46.5, which was literally 30 points too high for this game. If you had the under, you were never in doubt. If you had the Texans, you were never in doubt. If you had the over and the Bengals, you probably could've turned this one off at the half.
Home Favorites Look Stronger in Week 11 – A New Hope
So unexpectedly all three home favorites lost on Primetime this week, but Week 11 provides hope. The New England Patriots are on Monday Night Football as they continue their 'Gronk You' tour across the NFL. Here are the spreads and O/U totals for Week 11's primetime games (home teams in caps).
- Thursday Night Football: JAGUARS (-3) over Titans (43)
- Sunday Night Football: CARDINALS (-4) over Bengals (47.5)
- Monday Night Football: PATRIOTS (-7) over Bills (48.5)

Technology ServicesOVERVIEW
MinervaWorks is a technology services company that helps clients get the most out of their technology platforms. We provide technology assessment, architecture and transformation services to help clients bring their technology platforms up to date, as well as ongoing platform management. We group our services into four categories:
We help organizations assess their current technology environment. For example, you might need a specific assessment of your existing business continuity plan or your data center. Alternatively, you might be looking for a broader assessment of your entire technology infrastructure.
We work with organizations to develop a technology architecture that better positions them to achieve their business goals. For us, architecture is a broad term that encompasses all that must be in place for an effective, efficient technology capability, including technical resources, human resources, and governance practices.
The pervasiveness of the internet in everyday life, the move to mobile, and the rise of cloud computing offer opportunities to those able to take advantage of them. However, many organizations are dependent on legacy technology infrastructures, which must be transitioned to newer approaches. We do that.
Platform Management
Organizations do best when they are able to focus on business problems, not technology distractions. We take responsibility for ensuring your technology platform is available and reliable so you can focus on your business.
Experienced Technology ProfessionalsWHO WE ARE
Our team has years of technology experience in a wide range of industries and environments. Our skills include platform transformation, governance planning, data center optimization and management, business continuity planning, cloud computing, and disaster recovery.
