I'm really not a fan of documentaries, but this one touched my heart. This DVD tells the whole story, revealing the awesome power of God in all of our lives. I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting his music, which led me into worship times with the Lord during much of the music. His story is one that needs to be told today. It will bring hope to many people who see no hope in their future because of their addictions, sexual or otherwise. I think that every Christian should view this story.
Sing Over Me DVD - Dennis JerniganIn Sing Over Me, veteran hymn writer Dennis Jernigan alters the public conversation about homosexuality by revealing his struggles with same sex attraction and how he was delivered.
Jernigan first felt "different" at 5 years old, when a man in a public bathroom asked Dennis to touch him. He eventually began sexually experimenting with other boys.
Prophesying from the stage, Annie Herring said, "God sees everything you think you are hiding. Whatever it is, He loves you anyway." Jernigan gave his shame to God, and received God's love in return.
"The most asked question of my life, 'Was your healing instant, or was it a process?'" Jernigan said. "The answer is yes." He was made a new creation that day, and since then he has been in the process of allowing God to remove things from his life. He shares his story in the hope others will find freedom and healing. And others are.
Jernigan has been married to his wife Melinda for 31 years and they have 9 children together. Dennis and Melinda live on a farm in rural
Sing Over Me includes footage of Jernigan visiting his childhood home, church, and college and even includes a recording of the moment Jernigan was set free. During the month of September, Sing Over Me will be available to stream free at www.singovermemovie.com. Jernigan's story is also available in his autobiography of the same title, Sing Over
Sing Over Me is available for sale and digital download at Vision Video.

Ticket to Ride
Today I did. As it happens, I now have a credit to go round-trip to anywhere Southwest flies. And I am therefore stumped. For about a year I've been thinking about New Orleans, I've been wanting to do a Habitat for Humanity volunteer program there in St. Bernard's Parish. I have the free ticket, but funds for a place to stay are still an issue, and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm a more than a little fearful of taking off by myself and heading into a new city. Perhaps that is exactly why I should go. Any suggestions?
In the meantime, Brian's pictures from the Aquarium are much better than mine...

A Break-Up How To:
7:30pm - Break-up
7:32pm - Call Leah, "I need whiskey, now." She's in the car and on the way.
7:34pm - Play phone tag with Beth on the East Coast. Finally catch her and commiserate. Thank god for girlfriends.
7:45pm- Leah arrives with Lauren, we're off to Dona Tomas for margaritas, homemade tortilla chips and salsa and the obligatory whiskey for me.
8:10pm- Whiskey arrives. Chips are consumed, carnitas are ordered, girl talk ensues.
8:30pm- Starting to feel a little better, I order a mojito just to be sure.
9:30pm-Back to my place with Leah for a glass of wine, a shower and sleep. Thank god for girlfriends!
Next Day
7am- Really feeling like lying in bed all day would be best. I force myself to get up, skip the shower and head into work. Sitting at a computer all day is not good for a break up.
Noon- Cheeseburger from Amanda's. Now this is more like it.
4pm- Leave work when the tears start to fall again. Hit the gym. No seriously, I did! 40 minutes of elliptical work and 20 minutes of weights makes me feel like a new person. Leah calls, "Zeitgeist?" It's a beautiful sunny day, finally feels like spring. I'm there.
6pm- after a shower I head over the Bay Bridge to Zeitgeist. There's a line around the corner. Fuck spring.
7pm- Finally in Zeitgeist. Order a hefeweizen and share another hamburger. Thank god for hamburgers!
7:30pm- Brian arrives. My friends start to help plot various ailments they'd like to bestow upon the now ex-boyfriend. More beer. This continues for most of the night.
Saturday! I hit the gym again! Then it's off to the Albany Bulb with Amy and the dog. You can't help but feel good on such a beautiful day, with the skyline of San Francisco shinning in the sun. I gather the ingredients for Brian's Birthday Cake I plan to make later. The Salted Caramel Cake! Then it's off to Leah's to make the cake and have some dinner.
Sunday- Monterey Aquarium Day. We put a small dent in Brian's cake and head down to Monterey. It's a spectacular day and the aquarium is incredible. We're having a great time. Taking Highway 1 on the way home I look out at the sunset over the ocean and think how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place and have such wonderful friends. I feel like crying, but not because I'm sad.

it started with salted caramel... - Salted Caramel Cake
But I've digressed in my first paragraph, my first sentence no less! Just to be clear, I apologize for the ellipses to no one...
It started with salted caramel ice cream. Not just any salted caramel ice cream, Bi-Rite Creamery salted caramel ice cream. First tasted on a sunny summer day in San Francisco (actually something of a rarity in July) and returned to on many occasions, special or no. Guests were brought, simultaneous sighs and exclamations of delight were made. This ice cream is famous for a reason. It was the highlight of the past Valentine's Day when that morning my boyfriend stealthily and carefully carried it all the way across the Bay Bridge (packed on ice) and snuck it into my freezer for dessert that night. I have a thing for this ice cream, so you can imagine my excitement and awe when I came across this...
THIS my friends, is a SALTED CARAMEL CAKE!!
Straight from the blog The Sassy Radish. I drooled. I was dying to try it. Then I looked at the recipe. Intimidation set it, it was three recipes in one! One for the cake, one for the salted caramel and another for the whipped chocolate ganache icing. Much hand wringing ensued. I enjoy baking, but I am not a baker, nor am I a chef for that matter. But with a hint of optimism, I filed the recipe away for a chance moment of bravery.
Bravery struck during a crab feast hosted by a friend (but that's another story). My friend Brian was sitting across the table, and the subject of what to do about his looming 28th Birthday came up. I mentioned The Cake. His mouth feel open, his eyes lit up...he nodded.
And so I found myself with nary a cake pan, and a Saturday afternoon to tackle these three! recipes. Leah kindly donated her kitchen (my small studio kitchen just won't do) and her cake pans. And I'm off! I had some help from Leah and Sonya, and I can attest that the caramel would not have survived without them. The end result was incredibly rich and delicious, and the process ended up being great fun, and not nearly as difficult as I had expected. I highly suggest you try it...
Salted Caramel Cake - adapted from The Sassy Radish
Cake Ingredients:
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup sour cream
2 2/3 cups cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pans
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla
1/2 cup Salted Caramel
Whipped Caramel Ganache IcingFleur de sel, for garnis
Cake Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter three 8-by-2-inch round cake pans. Line each pan with a parchment paper round, butter parchment paper and flour; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, 1 1/4 cups hot water, and sour cream; set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
3. In another large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
4. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and shortening together until smooth and it appears to create strings inside the bowl, about 7 minutes. Add both sugars and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until well incorporated. Add vanilla, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, and mix again for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture alternating with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
5. Divide batter evenly among the three prepared pans. Bake until cake is just firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 18 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely. After they've cooled, put the cakes in the freezer until they are cool to the touch.
6. Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes to make level. Place the first layer on the cake plate. Using about 1/4 cup of the caramel, spread a thin layer on the cake, allowing some of the caramel to soak into the cake. (This will happen ONLY if you trim the tops of cakes, otherwise, nothing will soak into your cake.) Follow the caramel layer with a layer of about 1 cup of the ganache icing. Place the second layer on top and repeat process with another layer of caramel followed by a layer of ganache icing (which you should chill before spreading on the cake, it's too goupy at room temperature). Place the remaining layer on top of the second layer bottom side up. Spread entire cake with remaining ganache icing. Sprinkle with fleur de sel.
Salted Caramel
Makes enough for two to three 8-inch 3-layer cake
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fleur de sel
1/4 cup sour cream
Salted Caramel Directions:
1. Combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the mixture reaches 350 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, mix together cream and salt. Bring cream to a boil and cook until salt has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. When the caramel mixture has reached 350 degrees, remove from heat and allow to cool for 1 minute. Carefully add the hot cream to the caramel; stir to combine. Whisk in sour cream. Cool, and store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
Whipped Chocolate Caramel Ganache
Makes enough for one 8-inch 3-layer cake
1 pound dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 pound (4 sticks) butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces, softened but still cool
Ganache Directions:
1. Combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the mixture reaches 350 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
2. In another small saucepan add cream and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. When the caramel mixture has reached 350 degrees, remove from heat and allow to rest for 1 minute. Add the hot cream to the caramel; stir to combine. Let cool 5 minutes. Place chocolate in the bowl of an electric mixer and pour caramel sauce over chocolate. Let sit 1 minute before stirring from the center until chocolate is melted.
4. Attach bowl to electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low until the bowl feels cool to the touch. Add butter and increase speed to medium-high until mixture is well combined, thickened, and slightly whipped, about 2 minutes.5. Cool the ganache for 20 minutes or so before frosting the cake for easier frosting.

Creationists are always trying to catch scientists out. Whether it is supposed gaps in the fossil record or our present lack of understanding regarding the origins of the universe, the religious right are quick and eager to fill every unknown that scientists are working on with the words 'God' and 'design' as alternative 'explanations'. Darwin's Theory of Evolution comes under attack perhaps more than any other scientific theory due to the direct contradiction between the biblical creation myths (Adam and Eve and the Fall of Man) and the overwhelming evidence that our species share a common ancestry with the other great apes: chimps, orang-utans and gorillas.

Last week students were introduced to the idea of recycling. Look for the new green recycling bin in our classroom. On one side we will be recycling plastic (like those "will be with us in a million years" plastic grocery bags), and on the other we will be recycing paper (imagine how much paper we can recycle in a school!) As first grade teacher, Haley Alvarado, talked about reasons why we need to recycle in a first grade assembly, children learned that plastic grocery bags that get into the ocean look a lot like jellyfish and often are eaten by mistake and choke some of our sea animal friends! Make sure to ask your child what they rememebr about the assembly. We would love to hear your comments about the recycling that you do at home or if and how your recycling first grader's habits change as we continue this project in the classroom. Go green!

A strange thing occurred at 2:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday. While the price of the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) continued its free-fall, curiously the price of the Gold Miners ETF (GDX) jumped on high volume, adding 2.5% for the day.
My first reaction was that the abnormal divergence between the spot cost of the metal from the price of miners' shares must be due to some kind of quarter-end portfolio rebalancing. Upon further review of the day's news, I think the miners' revival may be the result of another impetus, which may continue to contribute support to miner stocks.
As the market opened, it appeared that gold was due for a "dead cat bounce" from drastic losses earlier in the week, and the Miners rebounded with the metal. However, by 1:00 PM, GLD had given back the gains and the miners were pulling back as would be expected. Near 2:00 PM a story was circulating on the newswire that the World Gold Council had issued new guidelines for analyzing gold mining companies. The WGC distributed "a Guidance Note on 'all-in sustaining costs' and 'all-in costs' metrics, which gold mining companies can use to report their costs as part of their overall reporting disclosure. The World Gold Council has worked closely with its member companies to develop these non-GAAP measures which are intended to provide further transparency into the costs associated with producing gold."
In order to understand the significance of this news, we should revisit the Mark Twain assessment of the industry: a gold mine is a hole in the ground with a liar standing next to it. Too many investors have been burned by gold miners' claims, and distrust keeps many others away from legitimate mine operators.
In order to prevent deceptive representation of a miner's potential for profitability, the US Geological Survey, SEC and Canadian authorities have created strict reporting requirements. Categorization of a mine's resources must meet certain requirements, and a more complete explanation of this may be reviewed in our SA article, Beware The Trap Door Under Miner's Silver Reserves. Despite all the attempts at clarification, most investors have little faculty for understanding exactly what miners mean when they tout, "our production costs are below $400." It is frustrating and difficult to understand why a miner cannot earn more profits with the spot price three or four times the production cost.
The problem is that the "operating cost" or "production cost" only factors in a small portion of the miners' expenses, excluding things like corporate G&A, amortization, reclamation, some exploration and capital expenses, etc. A better measure is the WGC's "sustaining cost," which is the actual cost to sustain the operation, including all the above and other costs. The sustaining cost for most miners exceeds $1000 per ounce, including all the costs incurred by the company.
We think this news proved positive for miners' stocks for the following reasons:
- The guidelines define an acceptable alternate to GAAP accounting that is consistent in the industry.
- They more realistically allow the comparison between the spot price and the company costs, and its relationship to profits.
- They bring to the investing public the realization that the spot price of gold cannot fall to triple digits without drastically affecting supply.
- They enable legitimately efficient companies to differentiate themselves from miners that promote their prospects with partial information.
The definition of "all-in costs" and "sustaining costs" can be found in the WGC guidance memo.
Although the "sustaining costs" have not been published for most miners, we added a calculation from the Alamos Gold investor presentation in the following table we sent to clients recently:
|$ 812
|No Debt/Buybck
|$ 928
|$ 945
|$ 1,120
|High Debt
|$ 1,126
|$ 1,129
|Debt/Divvy Inc.
|$ 1,168
|Moderate Debt
|$ 1,245
|High Debt
|$ 1,257
|Debt/Low Rating
It is clear why Alamos Gold chose to highlight this metric in its presentation. In addition to low sustaining costs, we prefer mining companies to have some dividend yield, a moderate debt level and low political risk. As a comparison, the table also includes the current YAHOO analyst consensus number (lower is better).
Alamos Gold is the clear winner in the cost category, and the debt free balance sheet offers strong support for growing dividends even if the spot price drops. The dividend is lowest among these ten, but the company recently announced a share buyback program. In the recent earnings report, the company explained its intent to continue exploration and development of its properties, and these are initiatives that can readily be cut back if the gold drop becomes worse.
Yamana Gold is also attractive in this comparison with very low costs. Debt is also moderate, but some important properties are in politically-unpredictable Argentina. AUY has sold off more severely than most, so it may benefit from a bounce.
We also think that Newmont Mining and Goldcorp, Inc. should be on the watch list for bottom fishers.
We had considered $1246 per ounce as the support level for gold, although that appears too optimistic. That is the level in September 2010 when the price of gold exploded up, creating a gap-like phenomenon that had to be backfilled. It also is a point where some miners must evaluate how to sustain their operations, possibly to shut-in mines or slow production. This eventually will support the price of gold, although the immediate bearishness requires caution. However, if investors understand that the price of gold cannot continue indefinitely below its production price, miners like Alamos, Yamana and Goldcorp may justify a long-term investment. With the new reporting options from the World Gold Council, these stocks will be able to differentiate themselves from the crowd going forward.

Let me clarify that the fact of being run-time loadable has little to do with the functionality of the module; the main difference is that built- in modules need be distributed (and compiled) with slapd's code, because they must be statically initialized, while run-time loadable modules can be compiled separately, they get loaded at startup (or when required), so they take care of initializing themselves when they're actually loaded. I'm stating this because most of the overlays can be run-time loaded as well, but they are supposed to do different things with respect to dynacl modules. > - in the first case do you think it is possible to make an overlay which > does access control or is there any technical reason that prevent doing > that ? If you read the (skeleton) FAQ <http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi? file=1284> about this topic, you'll find out yourself that you can use either, but there is an essential difference between the overlay and the dynacl approach: - the overlay provides an infrastructure that allows to intercept __all__ of the database operations (well, most of them, and some more), PLUS the access control. The way they do access control is: first use the overlay function, which may either return access granted/denied, or allow control to get to the default access checking. - the dynacl is integrated within default access control, and allows to insert custom checking at the <who> clause level; so you would end up configuring access like access to <something> by dn="cn=someone" read by group="cn=group" search ... by dynacl/mymodule="squeez'em" write You need to weigh pros and cons, and see what approach best fits your needs. If you want to use default rules plus a variant, use dynacl; if you want to completely bypass default rules, and deal yourself with the <what>, <who>, <access> and so clauses, use the overlay. p.

A granddaughter of Iran's first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, has attacked the current regime's "deviation" from the goals of his revolution, criticised leaders for failing to allow democracy to flourish, and said she fears arrest and jail.
By Damien McElroy, and Ahmad Vahdat
Naeimeh Eshraghi, a Tehran-based engineer, has told The Daily Telegraph that she wants to see an opening up of Iranian society with people free to express themselves.
But she also warned the West that the crippling sanctions being imposed on Iran were having the effect of increasing the suffering of the people while having little impact on the leaders.
Mrs Eshraghi is an enthusiastic user of Facebook and has on occasion shared her pro-democracy views and made critical comments about the country's leadership. She has built up a following of about 5,000 friends on her account, which she can access only by using illegal "filtering busting" technology that circumvents the country's firewall.
She said she felt it was a duty to resist the increasingly harsh system imposed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, her grandfather's successor as a Supreme Leader.
"My grandfather's system of spiritual guidance of the government rested its legitimacy on people's consent," she said. "Today this theory of government has split many sections of our society from the regime and has led to a deviation from the earlier right path of the revolution."
Mrs Eshraghi – a qualified petrochemical engineer who last year supported a campaign against laws requiring women to wear hijabs – objects to the government's efforts to close off Iran's internet users from the world.
"It is high time that the governments of Iran resorted to practicing democracy and refrained from confronting individuals and non-government groups. It should stop fearing the transfer of new communications technology," she said.
"It is only when this happens and we have free and widespread communications and the opening up of our borders to the outside world, both geographically and socially, that we can secure the progress and prosperity of Iran."
Mrs Eshraghi said that despite her place in Iran's most prominent revolutionary family – pictures of her as a girl on her grandfather's lap form the strapline on her Facebook page – she was vulnerable to a crackdown on free speech on the internet.
"Not only am I concerned that the security forces may one day knock on my door, but also in fact think that it is quite possible that this may happen and then I would not be different from many other prominent free thinkers of our country who have ended up being in jail," she said.
But she added that the regime would face a backlash within the country's establishment for such a high-profile arrest.
Iran has well advanced plans to cut the entire country off from the world wide web and place all internet activity within a nationwide intranet.
It has also established a force of "cyber-police" that has arrested dozens of internet users. Gen Saeed Shokrian, the force's commander, was sacked at the start of this month after an investigation into the death of the blogger Sattar Beheshti in Tehran's Evin prison, where he was being illegally detained. But the policing of online activity has continued.
In one sense, Mrs Eshraghi is continuing a role played by her grandfather in pre-revolutionary Iran.
He challenged the Shah's rule by having sermons taped in exile in Iraq and smuggled into Iran for underground distribution. The founder of the Islamic republic had five children and the clan maintains a prominent role with control of charitable foundations and filling official advisory positions.
Mrs Eshraghi said that her outspoken views were accepted within the family culture. "We have always kept a balance between belonging to a certain family and having an independent identity of ourselves as well," she said.

Poll Result: Should There Be A Toy Story 4?
I had a sneaky suspicion that the vote would turn out that way. The way I see it, the third movie was the perfect way to end. Successful film series can be put to bed whilst they are still doing well. Otherwise you end up saturating viewers and leaving them with the image of whatever film comes last in their mind. They will forget about the three brilliant movies so far if a fourth film is rushed into release. So take our advice, DON'T DO IT!
Thanks for voting guys. Remember to vote for your favourite Robert Zemeckis film below and to vote in our new poll which this week will be: Eddie Murphy: Good Choice As Oscar Host?
I want to get our readers more involved so if you have any polls you would like to see posted on the site, let us know. Cheers guys!

Although I can understand it, I would mind a fourth movie is it is as strong as the other ones. Pixar has shown that it is able to do it, but I will say that I'd rather have them make new franchises instead of making sequels...

|The Son and the Sons of God : a study in the elements of Paul's christological and soteriological thought
|Wanamaker, C. A.
|Awarding Body:
|Durham University
|Current Institution:
|Durham University
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
This thesis examines Paul's use of the divine Sonship conception in order to discover its place and significance in his Christological and soteriological thought. Because Paul relates the divine Sonship idea both to Christ and to Christians, this thesis naturally divides into two main parts: Part one studies the divine Sonship of Christ, and part two investigates the divine sonship of Christians. Our examination in part one reveals that Sonship characterizes Christ's relation with God at every stage of his existence from before he became a man through to his present position as universal sovereign. The divine Sonship which Paul attributes to Christ is of fundamental importance for understanding the unique roles which Christ plays in creation and redemption. In particular, Paul's soteriology is inconceivable without the supposition of the divine Sonship of Christ. Paul's own belief in the divine Sonship of the man Jesus of Nazareth arose through the revelation he received at his conversion and call. Because of this experience, the Son of God became the content of Paul's Gospel. In part two we show that Paul's believer sonship conception was in continuity with his Jewish heritage and the teaching tradition associated with Jesus. By a careful examination of Gal. 3-4 and Rom. 8-9 we demonstrate that Paul attributed great significance to the idea of the divine sonship of Christians. This concept expresses the continuity between the present and future experience of salvation, while emphasizing its personal character. We also discover that believer sonship was capable of embracing a variety of other important aspects in Pauline theology. When the two sides of divine Sonship are seen together, especially in their relationship to one another, the one theme of divine Sonship is seen to provide a very valuable perspective on Paul's Christological and soteriological thought.

Quantum Mechanical Test of Marcus Theory. Effects of Alkylation upon Proton TransferThe Journal of Physical Chemistry
Document TypeArticle
Publication Date6-1-1986
PublisherAmerican Chemical Society
AbstractAb initio calculations at the SCF/4-31G level are carried out to study proton transfers in (A-H-B)+ where B = NH3 and A is one of its alkylated derivatives MeNH2, EtNH2, or Me2NH. Also examined are the oxygen analogues composed of H20 and its methyl, ethyl, and dimethyl derivatives. Marcus theory predicts quite well the quantum mechanical dissociation energies of the (A-H-OH2)+ complex to either (AH+ + OH2) or (A + OH3+). The agreement is slightly poorer in the N cases due to the presence of two wells in the (H3N-H-NH3)+ potential but can be improved markedly by an extrapolation technique involving the asymmetric single-well (A-H-NH3)+ potentials. Proton transfers within an intramolecular H bond are modeled by holding fixed the distance between groups. Progressive degrees of alkylation of A produce increases in the barrier to proton transfer from A to B and smaller decreases in the reverse transfer barriers. These changes are quantitatively reproduced by the Marcus equation for all systems. Fair agreement is noted as well between the Bronsted a computed as the slope of the Marcus curve and as the position of the transition state along the reaction coordinate. Evaluation of the "intrinsic" barrier in (A-H-B)+ as the arithmetic average of barriers in (A-H-A)+ and (B-H-B)+ appears to provide a convenient and accurate means of treating fundamentally asymmetric systems, as confirmed by calculations involving (Me20-H-NH3)+.

"How does it cock?" Ian asked. There was a steel claw arrangement hooked to the center of the wire string stretched across the shallow cord of the bow. He pulled at the string with a tentative hand. It was like a solid bar, immovable.
"That's a stiff draw," he said.
"Over three hundred and fifty pounds," the machinist said. "Brace the stock against your hip and hold the grip. Now put your other hand on the forestock, through that oval metal loop that sticks out beyond the wood. Feel that catch under your thumb? Press it down."
Ian obeyed. A steel lever came out of its slot in the forestock, hinged at the rear a few inches ahead of the trigger guard.
"Pump it back and forth, like the lever on a car jack."
There was a soft heavy resistance with every stroke, and the crossbow's string inched backward. At the sixth it clicked home near the trigger action and the rear sight, the heavy steel bow bent and ready.

ABC News has reorganized its exec ranks, appointing former WABC-TV prexy-general manager Dave Davis as chief of all newscasts, including "World News," "20/20," "This Week," "Nightline" and "Good Morning America."
Davis, the former topper of ABC's flagship O&O in Gotham, becomes No. 2 to ABC News prexy David Westin.
"It is better and more streamlined for the organization to have all newscasts reporting to a single executive," Westin said. "It makes sure there are no walls that can be built between the programs so they are all operating together."
The appointment of Davis replaces a management structure in which the various ABC News shows reported to three news execs: "World News" and the 24-hour news desk to Paul Slavin, "GMA" and the newsmagazines to Phyllis McGrady and "Nightline" and "This Week" to Paul Mason.
After the shuffle, all shows report in to Davis. McGrady becomes senior veep of creative development, while Slavin becomes head of the news division's digital initiatives. Both continue to report to Westin.
"It makes sure all that all the programs move forward together and are improving at the same time the organization is devoting more time and attention to digital," Westin said.
Mason, former chief of "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" and "Nightline," will become senior VP for politics, supervising all of the net's coverage of the 2008 elections and reporting to Davis.
"The upcoming election is one of the biggest and most important stories that most of us will cover in our careers," Westin said.
The changes enshrine some of the shifts taking place across the network news biz. In the past, correspondents and producers generally reported to one newscast. A correspondent for "World News" or for "Nightline" would report for those shows only.
Now network journalists typically work for all shows and platforms. Brian Ross' investigative unit, for example, produces content for "World News," "GMA," "20/20" and the Web.

The Parents Television Council did their seventh study on the treatment of religion in prime-time broadcast entertainment programming titled Faith in a Box - A Study of Entertainment Television and Religion. Here they examine the treatment of religious matters. The study divides religious subject matter into five categories: Faith, Clergy, Laity, Institutions and Doctrine, and Miscellaneous. PTC analysts studied prime-time entertainment programming on the six commercial broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, WB and UPN) between September 1, 2005 and August 31, 2006. Instances of religious content were entered into their computerized Entertainment Tracking System (ETS) database. The study also notes that depictions of faith (particularly by contestants on reality programs) tended to be positive, while in all other categories (especially on scripted dramas and comedy shows) tended to be negative.
I would not have a problem with the study if was presented in the style of Detective Joe Friday "Just the facts" but this study is peppered with bias commentary. Where I have a problem is the following statement, "Such findings imply that while most Americans enthusiastically endorse religious belief, Hollywood tolerates an indistinct "spirituality" but is deeply negative towards openly religious individuals and organized religion." The PTC's Christopher Gildemeister states in his conclusion, "This stands in stark contrast to Hollywood's "creative" elite, which demonstrates its contempt for religion -- and for its own viewing audience -- by deliberately portraying God as subject of ridicule, and followers of organized religion as oppressive, fanatical, hypocritical and hopelessly corrupt". While Mr. Gildemeister lists his findings he likes to generalize Hollywood as the source of all that is negative. In other words he insults my friends, neighbors and me. Why must you generalize Sir? You are basically taking this statistical data and twisting it to say that everyone in Hollywood deliberately portrays God and Religion in general as subject of ridicule, and followers of organized religion as oppressive, fanatical, hypocritical and hopelessly corrupt. Nowhere in this study did I find anything that reveals what is in the hearts and minds of what you call Hollywood's "creative" elite. I live in Hollywood and I am in walking distance of more than half a dozen churches. There are many Christians in the entertainment industry who contribute their perspective (although it may differ from yours) at philcooke.com Media, Faith, and the Power of Change. Many of my friends and neighbors in Hollywood are people of faith, and even those who are not are hard working, charitable, contributing members of society. They all want what everyone in America wants and that is to house and feed their families. I do have my faith (READ: Must See Sabbath), but whenever I, and others like me, criticize a self appointed respective of our faith we get branded Anti-Religion or Anti-Christian.
Having seen many of the shows listed in the study I want to present a slightly different and hopefully more pragmatic conclusion to this data.
First, I believe that God has a great sense of humor. Depicting him commercially with the long white beard is more mocking of Charlton Heston than it is of God. I also feel that the showing God commercially as a man with the beard and robes is less offensive than committing real atrocities in his name and isn't it great that we live in a country where an artist can depict God in whatever medium he chooses.
Second, I don't really see Hollywood's "creative" elite demonstrating its contempt for religion just those who pervert their religion for their own personal agenda (Kind of like the conclusions to this study). Not all religious people are targets, just a select few like the following:
Those who peach morality and have affairs.
Those who preach against homosexuality and are themselves gay.
Those who make claims that SpongeBob SquarePants and Tinky Winky (The Teletubbies) are gay and are part of a plot to turn children gay.
Those who think that they are above man's law.
Those who are in a position of leadership who harm children and are transferred to another parish by their superiors.
Those who ban books like Harry Potter, Macbeth and Cinderella because they promote witchcraft instead of being thrilled that their kids are reading.
Those who boycott stores that hang a sign that says "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" for moral reasons. These same people have no moral problem with the "Merry Christmas" store's employees, who may even be Christians, not making a living wage, not having medical insurance while they sell you merchandise made by children in sweatshops for pennies a day.
Those who in times of crisis blame the problem on gays, feminists, the ACLU and Hollywood/The Media for being morally bankrupt.
I do not see Hollywood's "creative" elite negativity presenting those Americans who live a life of faith and prayer. Nor did I see negative portrayals of the pastor who needs to work part time job because his parish can't pay him enough to live on. The same pastor who is probably more interested in helping the hungry and homeless in his community than what the people in Hollywood or Washington are doing. Finally, Hollywood's "creative" writers, actors and directors still need to make a product that is commercially viable. New Line Cinema's The Nativity Story came in 4th place at the box office and made less than $8 million it's opening weekend. Those numbers will have more of an impact on Hollywood than this study. Those who put this study together should be nominated for a SHATNER AWARD because they need to be told to, "Get a life". They accuse Hollywood, a city in California, of having an agenda while the PTC a publicly funded organization is obviously pushing theirs.
To quote Bill Maher from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, "Hollywood isn't your cesspool America. It's your mirror."

I am such a slacker.
I frequently wonder why I've received the calling to be primary president. I know it's cause I have something to learn...well, lot's of somethings.
My biggest problem I think is that I'm a slow learner, and that I'M LAZY.
I'm a PROCRASTINATOR with a capital P.
It's not good.
A few weeks ago, I was supposed to give the spiritual thought during ward council.
{The previous day was a baptism I had been in charge of pulling together. I'll just say that the baptism nearly didn't happen because I had neglected to find out who had access to the Stake Center and I had to make a last minute call to someone to get them to come over and open the building for me so I could get in and get the font filled. It wasn't exactly convenient for this sweet lady to stop what she was doing (juicing pomegranites) and come to my rescue. Needless to say, this is all something I should have dealt with in the weeks leading up to the baptism, instead of scrambling at the last minute to find out who I needed to get a key from.}
Anyhow I overslept that Sunday morning and arrived late, so I didn't get to give my spiritual thought. Of course, I hadn't prepared for it anyway.
Because I'm a Procrastinator.
I sat in the car for a moment, "preparing" my thought before I headed over to the church.
I was thinking about this problem of mine...procrastination. So I looked it up in the topical guide.
What I found, kind of startled me.
"Procrastination, Procrastinate see also Apathy; Idleness; Slothful. "
There was also some mention made about making excuses.
Idleness? Slothful? ME?
Well, I looked up idleness too.
I looked up a scripture referenced in the Doctrine & Covenants. D&C 68:31:
31 Now, I, the Lord, am not well apleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are bidlers among them; and their cchildren are also growing up in dwickedness; they also eseek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of fgreediness.
Um, hit a little close to home, I gotta' tell ya'. And I've got a whole pocketful of excuses. Excuses why my children are growing up in wickedness.
I have terrific kids.
They are not by any means wicked.
But, they're not the way I imagined they would be. They have their own thoughts, and I'm not sure their testimonies are as strong as they could be.
Because I haven't helped them build them up.
Because I have to work nights. I'm not home to do family scripture study, and family prayer, and family home evening. (excuses)
Beause Ashley has to get up early (4 in the morning early) to get ready for school, out the door by 5:15---it's too early to get the other kids up for family prayer and scripture study. (excuses)
Because I'm tired. (excuses)
It's because I'm lazy. It's because I'm idle. It's because I'm slothful.
Plain. and. simple.
And the Lord is not pleased.
But He loves me. And he sees fit to chastise me. And I'm SO grateful that he does.
I just hope I can live up to His expectations and overcome this shortcoming of mine.

Vision and Illusion
(YouTube link)
The structure of your individual brain has a lot to do with how you perceive optical illusions. Researchers at University College London asked subjects how they perceived illusions of size such as the one used in this video, and then measured the size of each subject's visual cortex -the amount of brain matter devoted to processing vision.
The researchers then took MRIs of the subjects' brains. What they discovered astonished them - there was an almost perfect link between the size of somebody's visual cortex was and how much the optical illusion affected them. The smaller the visual cortex, the more a person was taken in by the optical illusion. Those with the largest visual cortices were also those most able to see the circles' true sizes.
Read more, and see the different illusions used, at io9. Link -Thanks, Greg Ross!

As Jack said, the "rear" sphere (darker) is a bit larger than the lighter sphere, and when the lighter sphere is placed on top of the darker sphere, a significant portion of the bottom of the sphere is left uncovered.
please return to me the time i just wasted watching that.
@Tom2394587: No what, they've discovered is a little bit about how our brains process the perspective, or the illusion (in the other example.
Also What I'd like to know is what this means for those people who still see the illusion but are not fooled by them, this is often the case with illusions with me
Also What I'd like to know is what this means for those people who still see the illusion but are not fooled by them, this is often the case with illusions with me
The second picture is clearly bigger as it overlaps the first during the demo. Fail...
Congratulations, you discovered perspective!

The Washington Post Company reported 2nd quarter earnings today, with revenues of nearly $1.13 Billion and a net income of $11.4 Million. Not surprisingly, more than half of WPO's revenues were generated by its education unit Kaplan, which happened to record net income of over $58 million. Along with WPO's cable TV unit (which generated $40 million in operating income), Kaplan essentially subsidized one of the America's favorite newspapers, the Washington Post. (WPO's newspaper division reported an operating loss of over $89 million). In a waning era of newspaper publishing that has produced an exodus of papers, this merits recognition as a public work, right?

Not sure where the last 2 months of disappeared to, but here it is March, and I figured I could write a new blog post =)
We had some rather pleasant weather in January, and on this particular Sunday, we went hiking at Paris Mtn. State Park, which is located nearby.
On January 25th, we began a road trip to Ontario to see family! Since Andrew had received his green card just before the first of the year, we had been trying to figure out a time to make the trip north... Due to bad weather hitting here on Friday, schools let out in the morning, and we decided we should get out of town before night to try and get ahead of the worst of the ice storm hitting the Carolinas. By the time I could get things situated at work and we left Greenville around 3pm, a lot of freezing rain had already fallen. I drove the first few hours (thinking I would let Andrew drive once we got into worse weather, snow, etc). Turns out, the Absolutely worst roads were through South and North Carolina =/ Ice is No. Fun. But the Lord kept us safe as we passed accident after accident. We had a stop to make in Charlotte, NC... after that Andrew drove and we got an hour or so further before stopping for the night. The view leaving the hotel the next morning:
The roads through the remainder of NC were a fairly icy in spots, but once we hit Virginia we had much nicer weather and clear roads.
|Cool tunnels through the mountains...
|Beautiful West Virginia countryside
The view from our window the following morning... pretty...
|(Joia... I took the same picture as you apparently... but didn't even notice the population =)
Wednesday evening was spent with immediate and extended Woodford family. We were also celebrating Galina's birthday and Andrew's cousin Alex' birthday.
|Alex couldn't be there, so Brayden helped with blowing out the candles =)
I fell, skis got tangled and didn't release, and my knee took the consequences... So I spent the remainder of the day in the cafeteria.... leg propped, icing, doing exercises... nothing like working on vacation (i.e. treating myself), lol!
|My window view of the hill around middle of the day...
|....and the view as about 4 inches of snow was falling through the afternoon!
|Pic from the ski lift that Andrew took

I slipped this one in under the wire! All thanks to my bestest sister, Bella, because she can create videos in record time.
And I keep pushing her to break her last record. I think she sort of hates me sometimes. ;)
Anyway, way back when Cinderella first came out I thought about how fun it would be to do a cover of Lavender's Blue. There was just something about the tune that I really liked and it was stuck in my head for ages.
This one I wanted to do my own backup. I didn't want karaoke. I wanted it to be me.
So, this is not one of the best video's I've ever created, but I probably put the most work into it.
It was fun and 'let-me-pull-my-hair-out' frustrating at the same time. Recording is such a complicated thing and nothing went right the first time with this song.
Well...let me know what you think! I still can't decide how I feel about it. I have a love-hate relationship with most of the music I share. *grin*
God Bless!

As youth, we are...
- Passionate, creative and inspiring! What do you get when you put 12 young people in a room and ask them to come up with solutions to some of the world's problems? BIG, comprehensive and exciting ideas that flow out of our passionate hearts and into our creative veins. They inspire a desire for positive change and invoke action.
- Intelligent beyond belief! Passion leads to a craving for knowledge and a drive to learn as much as possible. That is why each delegate that is part of Expedition Copenhagen is focusing on a specific policy area, so that we can be experts when we make our way over to the negotiations. And that makes the 12 of us one extremely intelligent delegation!
- Determined to make a difference in our communities- and beyond! Each delegate was selected for many reasons, but having a deep commitment to our communities was key. This fall each delegate is giving presentations at schools to engage more youth in our states in the discussion about climate change solutions. Check out the awesome curriculum that the Will Steger Foundation created to help teachers prepare their students to be knowledgeable leaders in their communities.
- Organizing Fanatics! Youth love to get people together to have a good time while making a difference. This fall Expedition Copenhagen delegates will join thousands of youth from around the world to plan events for the 350.org International Day of Climate Action on October 24th. There are already 117 countries participating in this awesome event- just check out the event map! Get involved in an event planned in your community- or start organizing your own!
- Fun, fantastic and full of energy! Needless to say young people have a lot of energy- and right now we are putting it to good use. But we also love to have a good time and make each other laugh. As E.E. Cummings once said, "the most wasted of all days is one without laughter."
The youth in this delegation are working hard to get our federal government to pass a strong and comprehensive climate change bill before we head out to the negotiations. We are bringing the youth voice, and more specifically the Midwestern youth voice, to Copenhagen to ensure that there is bold, binding and just protocol coming out of the negotiations. And we want you to join us! Follow our blogs, sign up for presentations and plan an event for October 24th.
See you out there climate champions!

Day 1, yet again
Don't know what else to tell you... I need to start typing in the story. I am meeting a client tomorrow to pick up her manuscript to copyedit. My first non-Carina freelance job. Our visitor is still visiting. Not getting so creative with the vegetarian diet any more. My brain hurts. That's probably why I'm not writing much of a blog today. I can't think of anything to write about. Y'all have any suggestions?

Glad I rediscovered your blog today and specifically this post/Protect the Work post. You see, this week my new website for The Lab will come to be. With it, the brand will really begin to be defined. I was criticized by someone close to me for "making The Lab look too serious" with the new website. He commented that other child-centered businesses use of cartoon-like images was "the reason kids want to go there" and that The Lab's new look "doesn't make it look fun." I have really had to "Protect the Work" throughout this Summer. Ironically, the ex-husbands are my biggest supporters in my efforts to "talk-up" to my customers-the under 12 years old ones. We may be close to falling on our faces here. Or we may be doing everything right.

I wanted to share with you our favorite book series. My Apple loves to read and she prefers series so that the story goes on and on. Speedy is also becoming a great reader but he is still a bit more reluctant. I often see parents asking for good series suggestions for kids so I wanted to compile my suggestions here.
9. Fly Guy- The Fly Guy books are fairly new but oh so much fun. These short books by Tedd Arnold are sure to delight. Speedy loves Fly Guy and will read them over and over. If you have new readers I highly recommend this series.
8. Percy Jackson- Apple has just gotten started on Rick Riordan's Percy books. We haven't spent much time on mythology so she just finds the ideas of these "gods" very fascinating. This is definitely a series for older kids and ones that can make it through longer books. Apple also enjoys the movies that have been made based on this series.
7. The Adventures of Lily Lapp- Suzanne Woods Fisher and Mary Kinsinger bring Amish fiction to girls. These fun books are great for older girls. It gives them an insight into a different way of life. Apple has enjoyed these books since the first one was published and soon book 4 will be released.
6. Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys- These are both great series that could stand alone but I've chosen to group them together. Apple loves both series. Speedy is just beginning to get interested in the Hardy Boys but he has no desire to read Nancy Drew. Apple has even watched some of the movies (at least one is available on Netflix) about Nancy Drew and she has a couple of Nintendo DS games as well. We recently listed to the first Hardy Boys book on audio book as a family. If your children are interested in mild mysteries these books are a great place to get started. There is even a new reader series called Nancy Drew & the Clue Crew.
5. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket- This mystery series is a bit dark and for more mature children. While many characters come to an unfortunate end in the series the books also contain a good amount of humor and a vast amount of vocabulary. The 13 books about Sunny, Klaus, and Violet are entertaining and sure to keep your children thinking. We listened to these on audio book as a family. One movie was made based on this series but it only covers about half the stories and feels incomplete.
4. The Imagination Station- These Adventures in Odyssey books are so much fun and cover a historical time or event. Cousins Beth & Patrick use the Imagination Station at Whit's End to go on
adventures. These books are fun for girls and boys and have a Christian theme. The books are short chapter books and there are new ones being added on a regular basis.
3. Magic Tree House- I wasn't familiar with this series from Mary Pope Osborne until Apple began reading them. This is a huge series of books and it is perfect as a first series for new readers. My kids are both very interested in adventure books and the Magic Tree House books each contain a fun adventure. These books appeal to girls and boys.
2. Little House on the Prairie- Laura Ingalls Wilder has captured the attention of many children over the years. Books in the Little House series are on many reading lists for different grade levels. Apple read the entire series while in second grade. Speedy is in second grade this year and will read Little House in the Big Woods for school. I hope he will enjoy it enough to continue the other books in the series on his own time. While reading the series or after completing it, the Little House television series will help your children visualize what life was like for Wilder.
1. Chronicles of Narnia- This got the #1 spot for a couple of reasons. This beloved series from C.S. Lewis is enjoyed by boys and girls and it is a classic allegory for the story of Jesus. Both of my children have been fans of Narnia for sometime and like some of the other series I've mentioned there are movies adapted from some of the books. I remember reading the Chronicles of Narnia when I was a kid and I've really enjoyed sharing them with my children.
What are your favorite children's book series? We are always on the lookout for new reading material!

Across the course you need to produce images that use contemporary approaches to making and producing images. These approaches can be construed as experimental in many cases and this identifies one of the key assessment criteria that you need to meet. In addition they take your photography over and above the norm and introduce you to new concepts and ideas and broaden your photographic knowledge.
Again, I'm going to mention that your starting point should be the Journals and magazines in the LRC (Learning resources Centre) and the Forum. You should be looking at the British Journal of Photography, Hotshoe and many more on weekly basis to give you ideas and inspire you. Here's the reason why.
One of your assignments is based around the concept of presenting images as a typologies. The Daddy (And the Mummy) of typology are the Bechers - Bernd and Hiller.
As with all of the projects you need to produce the work over a series of shoots, developing and improving them as you go. At stages (After each shoot perhaps) you should review the work using a method such as the Gibbs reflective practice model to drive the work on and forwards to better results.
You should choose a subject that you like and will be happy to shoot, you need to consider all the other approaches that you've been taught about and tried and look at fusing those ideas with these. Remember the work you produce needs to be experimental in a number of ways and as you produce this work, this experimental aspect could be brought in at each of the developmental stages.
Through research, looking at Journals such as the BJP, Hotshoe etc in the LRC and The Forum you might be in a position whereby you can link the work you're doing to a theme with a deeper meaning to it rather than just a series of images that are relatively meaningless. This is one of the more difficult aspects of any project when completed to tight deadlines and you massively improved the chances of being able to work with a theme of some substance if you're researching work that is made and produced in this way,

Originally from Cork, the Irish athlete competes both in Ireland and around the world in the sports of Ultra Running and Adventure Racing.
His first ultra run was a ~50km race over the hills of Wicklow in Ireland back in the late 90s. Since then he has steadily pushed out the distances he runs.Columbia - Ultra Runner Eoin Keith - 1
Eoin's best race results include finishing 5th at the 24 hour world championships in Bergamo in 2009, finishing as 2nd place veteran in the 2013 UTMB and 2nd in the 6-day World Trophy race in Hungary in 2015.
In 2016 Eoin won the Spine Race - one of the hardest Ultra races in Britain - in a new course record of 95 hours, knocking over 15 hours off the old record.
Eoin also participates in multiple Adventure Races of many different lengths both on the domestic Irish scene and internationally.
Highlights include finishing the Primal Quests in Utah in 2006 and South Dakota in 2008, participating in the world championships in Scotland, Spain, Tasmania and France. Moreover, he finished 2nd in the Turas Adventure Race - a 5 day international race in Ireland - and 3rd in the European Championship in 2015.
The jacket I started with performed so well that there was no need to swap out, even after long sections of rain and snow. It didn't soak-out or degrade in performance in any way at any time…

On December 5 in management concerning physical culture and sport of the regional state administration I took place a press - the conference devoted to acquaintance of the public with events and problems of sports.
In general - that it I was a press - conference with elements of meeting at which, in particular, the question of was considered how to solve problems of health of studying youth, after all cases of death of school students at physical education classes, in sports sections, on a ring became frequent recently.
From this "oven" discussion of the questions connected with improvement of physical training of youth began. Alexander Sadovsky, the head of department, noticed that the problem arose not today: the youth gives preference to computer games and a sedentary life, and meanwhile the physical condition of 70% of guys of military age doesn't correspond to standards of loadings. The Nikolaev area is strong in an elite sport, but according to statistical data only 8,1% of school students plays sports in sections. This indicator is much lower, than as a whole across Ukraine - 13%.
From sports as a whole leading trainers passed to discussion of its material resources. Inga Babakova, the president of federation of track and field athletics of the Nikolaev area, the vice-chairman of public council YEAH, told about help given our athletes by the enterprises and the organizations, deputies and businessmen.
Their contribution to improvement of material resources is great. The considerable quantity of stock is in recent years acquired, beginning from the equipment of a hopping hole and finishing poles and levels for high jumps and with a pole, computers for SDYuSShOR on track and field athletics and bars.
The chairman of municipal track and field athletics club "Nikolaev" V. Titarenko reminded present of nice history of speech of our athletes in the European cup among club teams. Long ago already our athletes didn't take in it part, and here in September of next year them invited to participate in these competitions. It is necessary to find means for the demand.
The following Olympic cycle began. We have many perspective athletes - athletes whom representatives of other areas literally chase.How to make so that they adequately spoke on behalf in London of Nikolayevshchina?
The question of preparation them at the Central city stadium enduring reconstruction, becomes corner. Expensive reconstruction of racetracks is extremely necessary, but in the city budget on it means aren't provided. For now, trainers consider, paths are destroyed by construction equipment.
Next year participation of our athletes in 7 - ми the international starts is planned. Potential of athletes is great, there is also a desire to win. Whether there will be an opportunity?
