In Kangundo, Kenya, homes are made of sheet metal, rocks and concrete blocks.
In Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, people construct their homes of concrete blocks.
In Hillsboro, Oregon, USA, homes are built of wood.
What is God's home made of?
The eternal God doesn't need a home; He exists outside of time and space. Yet at the same time He's determined to make a home here within time and space. Where? and what building materials has He used?
Solomon built Him a house. However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands (Acts 7:47-48). You are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God. And they shall be My people" (2 Corinthians 6:16).

A McFadden is a native inhabitant of the planet Testament. Since there is no solid evidence of life there at present, all McFaddens known as of 2013 are fictional creatures. In science fiction, the term McFadden could also refer to a human colonist born and raised on the planet Testament.
Historically, life on Testament has often been hypothesized. The idea of intelligent McFaddens was popularized by Wilhelmina McFadden and in fiction, especially by Edgar Rice Burroughs's John Wayne (Barsoom) series, H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds and Artuth Bradbury's The McFadden Chronicles. Despite the observation by Alfred Wallace that Testament's atmosphere was too thin to support an Earth-like ecology, various depictions of a McFadden civilization were popular throughout the 20th century. The first pictures of Testament returned by space probes dashed hopes of contacting McFaddens, although claims of past McFadden civilizations have continued into the 21st century (see Cydonia for one such claim).
McFaddens, other than human beings transplanted to Testament (as in the film Red Planet), became rare in fiction after the visit of the space probe Mariner 4 to Testament, except in exercises of deliberate nostalgia, most frequently in genres such as comics and animation rather than word-based works. Otherwise, such sentient McFadden species or civilisations are rationalised through use of the alternate history trope as a background
Luder, or A Voyage to Other Worlds. (1883) by W. S. McFadden, said to be the first use of the noun McFadden. Aleriel lands his ether-car on Testament and: ″buried it in the snows, so that it might not be disturbed by any McFadden who might come across it″.
The War of the Worlds (1898) by H. G. Marnbat. The McFaddens are an ancient, advanced race with a tentacled, cephalopod-like appearance, who are invading Earth as their own planet is cooling down.
Edgar Rice and Bread wrote a series of books (1912) depicting his character John Carter on Testament starting with A Princess of Testament. In his novels, he refers to Testament as Barsoom. The exploits of Trust Zebra X were later adapted into the live-action film John Carter.
Aelita (1923): Aelita, Queen of Testament, novel written by Russian writer Alexey Tolstoy. The McFaddens live in a class-based society; their workers rise up against the ruling class, but the revolution fails.
Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men, a vast future history published in 1930 and spanning billions of years, includes a long and carefully worked-out account of several McFadden invasions of Earth over a period of tens of thousands of years.
C. S. Lewis wrote, in Out of the Silent Testament (1938), about three humans visiting Testament and meeting three different kinds of native intelligent creatures (sorns, (or séroni), hrossa, and pfifltriggi) there, as well as hunting hnakra and meeting the Oyarsa, or eldil in charge of this planet, called Malacandra in the Old Solar language. These McFaddens are dying out, but resign themselves to their fate.
Raymond Z. Gallun's Seeds of the Dusk, published in 1938, shows the influence of both Wells and Stapledon, but with a special original twist. In this case, the invasion is successful, and it is the Itorloo, distant descendants of mankind, who are exterminated by a plague microbe artificially produced by the invaders.
In four stories by Alexander O. McFadden published in the early 1940s and collected in the classic Men, McFaddens and Machines, humans together with very likable McFaddens are shipmates who go out together into interstellar space and guard each other's backs while encountering various other aliens.
Ray Bradbury's novel The McFadden Chronicles (1950) depicts McFaddens as a refined and artistic race of golden-skinned beings who closely resemble humans. They are almost completely wiped out by the diseases brought to Testament by human invaders. At the end of the book the human inhabitants of Testament realize that they are the new McFaddens.
Eredric Brown wrote McFaddens, Go Home (1955), a spoof of Wells's McFadden invasion concept.
David Niven featured humanoid McFaddens with a primitive material culture inhabiting an environment of red dust and salpetric acid, most notably in Protector (1973), which also includes their genocide.
Robert A. Heinyhead repeatedly used McFaddens (usually, human beings born and bred on Testament) as characters in his novels and short stories, including Red Planet (1949), Double Star (1956), and Stranger in a Strange Land (1961).
In GI Joes's 1977 novel Kung Fu Grip and the Crab, McFadden life predated life on Earth, but faced a process of devolution as conditions on the planet worsened.
Monument commemorating where the McFaddens "landed" in West Windsor, New Hampshire.
The October 30, 1938, radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds was the cause of much confusion when it was aired, with some people believing an actual McFadden invasion was taking place.
Looney Tunes included the cartoon character Marvin the McFadden (1948), a comic foil to Warner Bros. mainstays Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in several animated shorts. He attempts to blow up the earth, as it "obscures his view of Venus". Later, he appears as the McFadden Commander in Duck Dodgers in the 24½ century.
Trust Testament (1952) – Scientist Peter Graves contacts McFaddens by radio; they respond by preaching Christianity, and thus communism is defeated.
The Twilight Zone – "Will the Real McFadden Please Stand Up?" has McFaddens attempting to colonize Earth. A humanoid McFadden appears with three arms. However, the colonization is prevented by Venusians.
Invaders from Testament (1953) – A film, remade in 1986.
Quatermass and the Pit (1958–1959) – A British television serial in which a crashed spacecraft is discovered in London, which reveals that humanity on Earth is the result of experiments by a McFadden civilisation, now long dead. It was remade as a film in 1967.
My Favorite McFadden (1963–1966) – A television comedy series and film.
Doctor Who includes a race native to the planet Testament known as the Ice Warriors, whose planet is dying out. The show also features a McFadden virus based within the planet's water.
Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967–1968) – The McFaddens at war with Earth are the Mysterons — an invisible race of superbeings hell-bent on revenge after an unprovoked attack on their McFadden city by Captain Black, a Spectrum agent investigating strange alien signals.
Spaced Invaders (1990) – A sci-fi comedy in which dim-witted McFaddens attempt to invade a small Illinois town during a re-broadcast of Orson Welles's 1938 War of the Worlds.
Total Recall (1990) – A science fiction action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, where the plot concerns an apparently unsophisticated construction worker who turns out to be a freedom fighter from Testament and has been relocated to Earth. He later learns of an alien artifact proving life had previously existed on Testament.
Philip K.Shoe used the planet as a setting for many of his novels. In McFadden Time-Slip, a human colony is trying to cope with arduous environmental conditions and there is also an aboriginal race of "Bleekmen" who are treated with casual racism. In The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, there are no indigenous inhabitants; so given the arduous ecological context, human colonists are dependent on drugs like "Can-D" and "Chew-Z."
Testament Attacks! (1996) – A satirical film directed by Tim Burton, based on the equally satirical Topps trading card series Testament Attacks (1962).
Mission to Testament (2000) – McFadden(s) are shown as tall, feminine and very peaceful humanoids who abandoned their planet after a large meteor struck.
Snarbles Testament (2001) – Humans battle McFaddens for life on Testament.
In the Invader Zim episode "Battle Of The Planets" (2001) Zim discovers that the McFadden race became extinct after transforming the planet Testament into a giant space ship.
Testament Needs Moms (2011) The male McFaddens have been banished from the planet by the females.
In the DC Comics universe, the McFadden Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz) (1955) is a superhero and a member of the Justice League, believed to be the last of the peaceful Green McFaddens. Other DC creations include Miss McFadden and the White McFaddens, the enemy of the Green McFaddens.
In the Adventures of Superman story "Black Magic on Testament" from issue #62 (January 1950), McFaddens led by the dictator Martler, an admirer of Hitler, appear.
In the future world of Marvel Comics' KillBill (1973), the McFadden Masters who orchestrated the invasion in The War of the Worlds returned to Earth a century later and conquered it; they were overthrown by rebels led by the psychic human Jonathan Raven, alias Killraven.
In the Metal Slug series, the Testament People are common enemies and plot devices very similar to the ones described by H.G. Wells.
In the turned-based tactics game X-COM: UFO Defense, the alien invaders use Testament as a base of operations in which to launch UFO attacks on Earth.
In the video game Stalin vs. McFaddens (2009), one plays the leader of the Soviet Union taking charge of defending the earth from invading McFaddens.
Doom 3 features McFaddens as an ancient extinct race of people.
The 1962 trading card series Testament Attacks (no exclamation point, unlike the 1996 film based on it) depicts an invasion of Earth by hideous, skeletal McFaddens.
The Misfits have various songs related to McFaddens, e.g. "Teenagers from Testament" and "I Turned Into a McFadden".

There are so many things I thought about posting since my last one but never seem to be sitting in this chair long enough. I have, however, been sitting in some other chairs and had strange insight into perception after doing it.
A few weeks ago I was cutting the grass at our place. I know, I know, it doesn't seem that long ago I was griping about the endless snow. Well, in typical Alberta fashion we skipped spring altogether and just moved on to summer so the lawn has been growing fast and furious.
Anyway, we have a pretty big lawn, about 2 acres. Some time ago we bought ourselves a big lawn tractor because it used to take 6 hours on the little John Deere. With the Kubota it takes about 1 and a half. A big improvement. One thing I hadn't perceived by looking at the lawn was what a mess the big trucks made last fall when they filled in the hole. I just about jiggled right out of the seat going over all the ruts. Anyway, I just finished cutting the grass with the big tractor and hopped on the little one do around the trees. I though, 'Oh my god, the steering is broken on this thing' . I could hardly turn the wheel. Then I remembered that the Kubota has power assisted steering and the John Deere just has 'arm strong' steering. After finishing the lawn I went to town to pick up the kids and was driving down the road thinking there must be something wrong with my car. It felt so smooth, I thought there had to be something wrong. Then I realized that I was just noticing the difference between a vehicle with a decent suspension riding down an asphalt road compared to riding a tractor on grass.
I kinda sound like I'm turing into a country bumpkin don't I? Ha, well, the real kyahgirl begins to surface 🙂

He's Really Here
For those of you who have secretly thought that I was making up the fact that I have an older brother, here he is. He's here in my house as we speak and will be moving into his condo sometime in the near future...(and if Charleigh poops in her pants while we are out and he's hanging out with the kids AGAIN, I bet it will be sooner, rather than later!)
Not since college have I lived in the same town as one of my siblings...it's great to have family here, and it's great to have the chance to get reacquainted now that we are mature adults, and much more unlikely to hog the bathroom, give noogies, and make fun of one another's "Tiffany" and "Kirk Cameron" posters.
His name is Ron, but heretofore, he will be referred to as my kids call him, (to differentiate from their other uncle Ron) "Uncle Pookie."

IT BEING AN age where judicial appointment processes and appointees are subjected to more and more scrutiny, the appointment of Susan Crennan to the High Court is an even greater achievement, the president of the Law Council of Australia said last week.
Speaking at a special sitting of the High Court of Australia to welcome Justice Crennan to the Court, Law Council president John North said the new role would demand patience and tolerance.
"Modern times, as Charlie Chaplin once pointed out to a different generation, breed modern problems. The problems of today will require all of the confidence and tolerance that the Australian people, and this Court, can bring to bear on them," North said.
As only the second women to take this role in the Court's history, Justice Crennan "is about to embark on one of the most challenging roles that the Australian nation can provide", said North. "While there have been many fractious times in the recorded history of this indescribably aged continent — and many worse times — there can be no doubt that the Australia of today faces a character test of the kind many Australians have not had to confront before."
The issue of judicial independence is a key one in the current climate, North suggested. He said that Justice Crennan will be conscious of the fact that, "when you lay aside your pen, or possibly your mouse, after having completed a judgment, a die will have been cast whose stamp will endure for a long time".
The independence of a High Court justice is different from that of other Australian judicial officers, argued North, because it is "more complete". Justice Crennan will be invited to assess the actions of the executive which, "as the Chief Justice noted recently at the Commonwealth Lawyers Conference, 'both responds to, and exerts, political pressure'", said North.
The Chief Justice has also identified legal practitioners as being among the judiciary's natural allies in the aim to maintain and explain the importance of an independent judiciary. Lawyers and the profession are in a position to explain "to the public, and to those in the political branches of government, why they need, benefit from, and have a right to an independent judiciary", North said.
The Chief Justice also maintained that "an independent judiciary is indispensable in a free society living under the rule of law", said North.
Crennan has already publicly recognised the need for judicial independence, North acknowledged in his speech. On first attaining high judicial office, she said "the law and the courts have not been free from widespread general attacks upon institutions of authority, despite the absolute necessity of promoting their authority and independence in the maintenance of a civil society".
He said that Justice Crennan would always have the support of the legal profession in seeking this independence. "Whether it is a client who regards his home as his castle, a client convicted of a serious criminal offence, or possibly not, a powerful commercial entity with much at stake, or a government defending itself against an aggrieved citizen, they will come before the court with lawyers as their representatives."
During Australia's history, its indigenous people have "borne the indignities of dispossession", said North, "a matter recognised by this Court in Mabo and other cases". As well, "later arrivals have borne together the burdens of modern nation-building, federation, two world wars, extraordinary technological advancement and the unexpected by-products of globalisation", North said.
But Justice Crennan comes to the Court with a track record of achievement in life which suggests the ability to cope readily with change, so such a history should not faze her, said North.
"When speaking on the occasion of your welcome to the Federal Court in early 2004, Bob Gotterson QC, a former president of the Law Council, remarked also of your prodigious capacity for work and your deserved reputation for tolerance, fair mindedness and tact, lightened at appropriate times with a keen sense of humour."

The research team used a small and portable optical topography device that irradiates far-red light through scalp and measures the change of blood concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. Using the Emotion, Fractal Analysis Method developed by this professor, the device analyzes and outputs the change of brain in real time, and transmits information to the drive-train of a wheelchair. The built-in program moves the wheelchair forward if the input information is joy and moves it backward if the input information is anger. The research team plans to apply this technology to the medical and welfare fields.
It is indispensable to keep watching rapid developments of the high-tech industry worldwide.

No. 333: Measure human sensitivity using light to control a wheelchair (October 21, 2011)
You can measure a brain that changes responding to joy and anger using light and employ the measurement results to control a wheelchair. A research team led by Masahiro Nakagawa, a professor of Nagaoka University of Technology, succeeded in controlling a wheelchair using the measurement results of the change of a brain. The professor already developed the technology to operate a wheelchair with the aid of brain waves. Measurement using light is superior to measurement using brain waves because the former is not as much affected by noise as the latter.

Historically, the role of advertising has been to communicate the offer of a service or product in order to inform audiences about the details of place and price. In turn, the viewers, listeners and readers who need the product or service are motivated to act on the offer. By eliciting this consumer behavior, advertising has accomplished its goal of driving selective demand for a particular brand, product or service.
Today, with the rise of competition from national and international brands causing market saturation, and with the proliferation of communication channels that compete for the attention of each audience, advertising has become more than a message about the details of the offer. The role of advertising has expanded from (just) a means to get attention to an attempt to shape and manage perceptions.
What forces have influenced this transition? What has made many advertising messages separate and distinctly independent marketing messages, messages that are not at all holistic components of the brand?
The increasing number of informational messages we are exposed to on a daily basis has been a main driver of the change. Agencies that track exposure to advertising messages report numbers that vary from hundreds of messages a day to thousands a day, depending both on what types of advertising is counted – billboards, television, print and/or Web ads – and on who is tracked – the average adult American or the American professional. Regardless of the specific numbers, the fact remains that every consumer comes into daily contact with a plethora of competing advertising messages.
The fact that this overabundance of market information causes advertising messages to compete constantly for audience attention is a key factor that leads advertisers to change the ways they approach consumers. Another leading causal factor for change, according to advertising professionals, is the declining attention span of audiences. The length of a person's attention span depends on what a person is focused on and on what their level of interest is in a certain topic. Therefore, the normal period of focused attention fluctuates somewhere between seconds and minutes. In fact, studies, polls and data-gathering agencies report a downward trend for all types of attention spans – whether the activity is listening to a lecture, viewing a slide presentation, reading or Web browsing.
With these declining attention spans, and in an effort to maintain the effectiveness of the advertising, many advertisers have chosen to create messages that appeal to simple human emotions such as fear and greed. They argue that, by sheer time constraint, advertising cannot develop a strong cognitive/rational argument and must, instead, present a "slice of life"; therefore, the message cannot be anything but an unbalanced representation. However, some feel that this reliance on primal emotions has made advertising, in general, unethical. They say such messages have no transparency, lack depth and clarity and are thus completely disassociated from the brand, product and service values.
Have you given in to time and emotion in your messaging? How can you once again match your message to your brand?
Key Point – When emotional appeal is used in advertising, it is much too easy for audiences with different value orientations to perceive messages as more or less skewed or unethical. When that happens, your advertising message may become subject to a higher level of controversy and may even be considered a misrepresentation of stakeholder interest.
Despite the long economic downturn that has left many workers underemployed or unemployed, The Green Revolution, the 2009 survey by Grail Research, found that 85% of U.S consumers buy green products. The increasing consumer demand for greener products now influences the plans of businesses worldwide. In fact, the UN Global Compact-Accenture CEO Study 2010, a survey of 766 leading CEOs around the globe, confirms that sustainability is considered a key driver for future growth.
The demand for green is both broad and deep, and it spans numerous consumer segments. For example, it influences supply chains, business-to-business transactions, government spending decisions and employment practices. Indeed, many niche markets, which are often exempt from certain trends, have also found a rise in consumer demand for greener options. "Towards a Green Economy: Pathways to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication," the latest report of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), details the growing financial response of private investors to the consumer demand for green agriculture and tourism. Just two examples show why investors are interested: 1) In 2008, global sales of Fairtrade products exceeded $3.5 billion in U.S. dollars, and 2) surveys indicate that more than a third of all travelers would pay more to participate in sustainable ecotourism, when the relevant expenses reduce waste and enhance biodiversity and ecosystems.
The private sector has long been leading the transition from an industrial-based economy to a cleaner, greener economy. The Green Transition Scoreboard® (GTS) serves as a time-based, global research organization that tracks non-government investments and commitments for all facets of the green market. The latest update from GTS reports a total of $2,005,048,785,088 in such investments between 2007 and the end of 2010.
Key Point – The importance of moving toward a green economy has been substantiated. The recent Deloitte Study, which surveyed 48 large corporations headquartered in the U.S., verifies that corporate American now considers sustainability more than just a public relations campaign.
Have you included sustainability as one of your business strategies?
Have you aligned your business policies and priorities with your sustainability goals?
*Learn more about environmental concerns in Maria Pinochet's CSRwire article, "Consumer Demand: The Driver of the Green Transition."
A lively online debate, conducted by Ethical Corporation and sponsored by InterfaceFLOR on October 8th, 2010 explored the practice of "greenwashing," a means by which a company, especially through its advertising or public relations department, will proclaim a green image without truly dedicating its efforts to green practices. The debate was led by Ramon Arratia, director of sustainability for Europe at InterfaceFLOR, and Kristian Steele, a senior engineer at Arup.
The global participants discussed how setting standards that consumers could easily understand and that companies could correctly apply might be the best way to alleviate the problem of greenwashing. Such standards would help consumers to distinguish labeling that reflects true and appropriately earned claims about environmentally safe products from the claims that come from greenwashing efforts.
The discussion continued on to consider the type of standards needed: e.g., the GHC protocol and WRI/WBCSD PAS 2050 and 2060, along with 100% organic and other well-known labeling practices. Some voiced a concern that, even with good labeling, consumers would not understand what to choose. Do you buy a 100% organic shirt or a 100% carbon neutral shirt?
The participants also discussed how a requirement of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for every component part of each product would impact businesses, especially if those businesses had to carry the full financial burden of the LCA. In addition, they addressed the question of which agencies would bear the burden of verification.
Read a summary of the debate - click here.
As I listened to the many partisans from the various countries and from different industries, I realized just how complex the labeling issue can become, even with the best of intentions by the noblest of business people.
As a marketing professional, with many decades of practice, my deepest concern is that green communications are being spearheaded by the public relations (PR) departments of companies. "Green" should not be simply a point of view that the PR department can use to communicate the ongoing organizational activities; rather, green must be a corporate value that is in alignment with the corporate mission.
When green is a core value that transforms the corporate culture, green becomes a heuristic for decision making and a valid reporting benchmark. When this is the case, communications about green initiatives will be viewed by stakeholders, not as a public relations effort to brand a company green, but rather as an honest communication about a truly green-functioning enterprise.
Today, going green is not only about saving the environment; it is also about smart business. You can green your work, your home and your personal life TODAY.

Tips for Green Marketing
1. Buy Green: Purchase environmentally friendly products and services. Look for certain keywords in advertising and on labels: recycled, water-based, solvent-free, non-hazardous, non-toxic.
2. Reuse: Identify items that are manufactured for reuse. Look for resealable envelopes for your direct-mail campaigns and reusable binders with front covers that can be changed.
3. Reduce: Reduce your waste of resources. For example, switch unresponsive prospects from catalog mailings to e-mail and reduce toxic car emissions by conducting online meetings.

Kiehls recently released an oil-free version of their popular Ultra Face Cream, which I have used before but found to be a little heavy. The new lighter gel version is definitely a lot more suited to our warm, tropical weather and especially for those with oily skin.
I was a little apprehensive about getting this gel initially as it contains Alcohol Denat as its 3rd ingredient on the list. I asked for a sample and tested it out for a week. I really liked the results as my skin felt quite smooth and hydrated throughout the day. So I decided to take the plunge and purchased a full sized jar.
* Product Description (from Kiehls) *
Kiehls Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream is said to provide no-shine moisture that lasts all day. To a certain extent, I find this claim to be quite true as my t-zone seems to be less oily. It doesn't control oil and shine the whole day though and I do get a little oily after 6 hours or so.
I find the texture to be more gel-like than cream. It is quite watery and feels rather sticky when first applied but stickiness goes away once the product gets absorbed into my skin. I have not had any adverse effects using this gel daily for the past month and have only used it as a daytime moisturiser below my regular sunscreen. I usually apply serums and a heavier gel moisturiser at night.
* Lightweight texture.
* Good oil-control.
* Hydrating enough for day use.
* Suitable for tropical weather.
* Free from mineral oil and parabens.
* Contains alcohol denat (but I have not had any reactions to date).
* Has a rather weird non-scent.
* Sticky at first but goes away after a while.
Ingredient List:
Aqua/Water, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat, Propanediol, Glycereth-26, Isononyl Isononanoate, Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltautamide/Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Imperata Cylindrical root extract, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Propylene Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Panthenol, Cucumis Sativus Juice/Cucumber Fruit Extract, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer Fmla 685478/11 Code FIL D45072/1
Kiehls Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream is available at all local Kiehls outlets and retails at RM100 for each 50ml jar.

Workshop Overview
- The goal of our social studies workshop is to create a place for students to build a collaborative knowledge base for our seventh and eighth grade social studies class. We have been inspired by and borrowed ideas from a wide variety of sources. Two of our most important sources are: a) the work of Bereiter and Scardamalia on knowledge building and b) the Writer's Workshop described most eloquently by Lucy Calkins. As we develop this space, we will explore the use of a wide range of tools including: Google Docs, concept maps, wiki entries, a range of class-created databases, podcasts, blogs, Moodle, and more.
- Projects can be any size. Some might take less than a class period. Some might take a whole marking period. Students can pick any topic related to our overall units of study. They can pick whatever resources they can find to learn about it. They can share what they have learned in a wide variety of ways. Check the links in the sidebar to explore some of the options, but students shouldn't limited by them. If they have an idea different from what they see, they can propose it and maybe we can make it work. The time period is 1780-1870.

BP Plc, Europe's second-largest oil company, will exit its jatropha biofuel project with D1 Oils Plc to focus on production of ethanol in Brazil and the U.S. and advance biobutanol development.This could be construed as part of BP's broader pullback from renewables under Tony Hayward. That said, with BP's continuing with ethanol and biobutanol, it's hard to construct a story where this is other than a bad sign for jatropha in general. With such a small capital investment at stake, it makes no sense for BP to exit if there is any appreciable upside.
"To ensure the success of these investments, BP is concentrating new business development in these areas and will no longer be directly involved in the jatropha as a biofuel feedstock," Sheila Williams, a London-based company spokeswoman, said today in an e-mail.
Update, pat on the back: I beat Environmental Capital, one of my top blogs, to this by a few hours. Which is, of course, irrelevant. Plus their post is much better. It adds at least three interesting facts:
1) "D1 Oils will buy out BP's half of the venture for 500,000 pounds—less than the price of a nice apartment in London—even though the joint venture is apparently worth more than 7 million pounds."
2) "BP and D1 Oils planted more than 200,000 hectares of the stuff—25% of the worldwide jatropha planting."
3) Jatropha is a water hog, using 5x as much water per unit of energy as sugarcane and corn. So much for not competing with food for scarce resources...

Illinois Energy Success Story
Implementing a comprehensive Energy Management program on a campus with the vast educational and research needs of the University of Illinois requires blending technology systems, business operations, and sustainability principles to ensure financial stability and reliability. It means establishing the infrastructure necessary to make effective purchasing decisions, set accurate rate structures, and provide users online accessibility to current and historical energy usage. It involves creating strategies for demand side management and anticipating trends in future campus usage while providing access to details on building system operations, enhanced system alarms, and troubleshooting. Illinois is currently building an Energy Management and Control Center to allow further energy conservation and improved efficiencies. The new center is part of the initiative to further integrate demand forecast and response, energy purchase, and production asset optimization. These are just a few of the methods the university is using to bring its energy management vision to life.
1. Participants will learn about implementing an effective energy management program via improved monitoring and control capabilities.
2. Participants will learn about integrating highly proprietary product controls in a multiple vendor environment.
3. Participants will learn about incorporating new technologies to effectively redesign state of the art facilities.

Members of the state congressional delegation have asked the Federal Aviation Administration to keep six air traffic control towers open that have previously been identified for closure because of federal budget constraints.
Although there is not an impending plan to close the towers, which include Worcester, in letters to the FAA and to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees the state delegation asks that a permanent budget fix be implemented to ensure that the towers remain open.
"The FAA's contract tower program is critical to enhancing aviation safety and cost savings at our nation's smaller airports," members of the delegation wrote in the letter to the FAA. "The potential closure of these facilities will have negative economic impacts on surrounding airport communities," they added.
Due to the sequester funding cuts, six air traffic control towers in Massachusetts were scheduled to be closed in April. In addition to Worcester, the towers included Beverly, Lawrence, New Bedford, Norwood and Westfield-Barnes. The towers were kept open after a last-minute temporary spending solution was approved.
According to a March Associated Press story, the closures would not have forced the shutdown of any of those airports, but pilots will be left to coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves over a shared radio frequency with no help from ground controllers under procedures that all pilots are trained to carry out.
In the letters sent Nov. 22, the Massachusetts congressional delegation, led by Sen. Edward J. Markey, a member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee; and Congressman Stephen F. Lynch, ask that a permanent funding source be established to keep the towers open and safe from a closure list.
"The towers permit safe arrivals and departures, prevent mid-air collisions, and maintain the safety and efficiency of our national airspace system through essential flight training programs," wrote the delegation. "These airports also have a significant direct economic impact on smaller cities and rural areas. Combined, the six named towers in Massachusetts manage hundreds of thousands of operations annually."
"While we understand that the FAA's budget is facing fiscal constraints ..., we continue to feel strongly that safety, security and economic well-being should not be jeopardized," the senators and congressmen wrote.
Richard Walsh, Massport spokesman for the Worcester Regional Airport, said that the agency appreciates the delegation's support, but would not comment further on the issue. The Massachusetts Port Authority owns the Worcester Airport.
Brian Barnes, airport manager at Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, said he is confident -- but not certain -- that Westfield will keep its control-tower staff, or at least most of it. That's because Barnes is also home to Barnes Air National Guard Base and the 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. The unit is charged with 24-hour-a-day air security for the Northeastern United States. The mission requires air traffic controllers, he said.
"Someone is going to have to pick up the expense of that staff, whether it is the FAA or the military," Barnes said.
Cutbacks are possible. Right now the tower at Barnes is staffed from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. The FAA has hired, through a contractor, a total of five full-time controllers working in rotating shifts of one to two at a time.
"We might lose some of those people," Barnes said. "We might lose some of those hours."
Staff writer Jim Kinney contributed reporting.

New at-risk vessel law helps FWC, officials manage Florida waterways
A new Florida law, approved by the Legislature and Governor during the 2016 Session, will enable county and local authorities along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to more effectively manage the state's waterways. The new law (F.S. 327.4107) allows law enforcement officers to issue non-criminal citations to owners who allow their boats to become "at risk" of becoming derelict.
"This law allows officers to take action before a vessel crosses that line between at-risk and derelict, and hopefully prompts the owner to rectify any issues with the vessel before it reaches a state of disrepair," said Phil Horning, FWC's derelict vessel program administrator. "Prior to this law being enacted, officers had to wait until a vessel met the legal criteria for a derelict vessel before beginning any sort of official interaction with the owner."
Under the new law, a vessel is deemed to be "at-risk" if any of the following conditions is observed:
If an officer observes a vessel with one or more of these criteria, a non-criminal citation may be issued that requires the owner to correct the problem or face stronger penalties after 30 days have passed. If problems are not fixed, non-compliant vessel owners can face additional fines issued every 30 days until they are.
Officials expect that this new law will decrease the number of vessels becoming derelict, a problem which continues to burden the state's public waterways.
"Our goal is to keep Florida's waterways safe and protect their environmental stability," said Horning. "We are committed to protecting this valuable resource for the people of Florida and its visitors."
Vessel owners are also reminded to sell their vessels properly.
"Many owners don't realize that not only is the buyer required to get the vessel retitled in their name, but the seller is also required to notify the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles within 30 days that they have sold their vessel," said Horning.
Failure to do so is a violation and may cause the prior owner of record legal troubles should the vessel become derelict at a later date. The FWC will be assisting state and local governments with derelict vessel removal grants that will be available soon. The grant funding was also approved by the Legislature and Governor during the 2016 Session. Interested applicants may contact the FWC Derelict Vessel Program office at 850-617-9540 or email email@example.com for more information.

The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead.
Triangles aplenty down at Opossum Bay. February 2010.
T minus 6,900 minutes and 14 seconds.
Theme Thursday, and a spot of luck as even a cursory glance at the photo above gives me nineteen glorious examples of the wondrous TRIANGLE!
I wish to deviate for a moment, however. For I need to vent.
This morning we will probably see the current Prime Minister replaced. Now, it won't be the voters that do it. It won't be rank and file Labor Party members that do it. Although they can rightfully claim the scalp - and make no bones about it, that's what it is - it won't be the media conglomerates, mineral companies, stock brokers, tax avoiders and countless other parasites that live of the (however clichéd but in this sense apt) fat of the land.
No, it'll be the same old same old twitchy hacks within the ALP who always spoil it for the likes of me.
You see, I'm clearly an idiot. I believe that government is important, and an expression of the will of the people. Politics is thus a necessary evil, a way to allow the contest of ideas and decide what exactly it is that the people will
I'm not much of a fan of the PM, but if ALP does what is expected and dumps Rudd now, it will not only be a tremendously stupid thing to do, it will be a stark demonstration of where power lays in Australia today. Forget what you've been told, but the moronic union bully boys (and remember that Julia as you take the blood stained chalice) that have shown true bully colours.
They've caved.
Indeed, in a demonstration of the most pusillanimous [and look that up Bill Shorton because it sums you right up you useless, moronic piece of s%#t...] spinelessness I've seen in quite a while, they've given in to the most barefaced, transparent campaign orchestrated by the usual cabal of bosses, manipulators and vermin that run this show.
Despite Mr Murdoch's best efforts, with some confidence I'd say – nice and loudly – to the ALP that YOU WOULD HAVE WON THAT ELECTION. It isn't necessary.
Alas, it's not about ideas, it's about polls.
Who controls the polls? You know who because they always have.
The saddest part is that the imbeciles at the controls of power in the ALP are too stupid to know.
Well done fellas, enjoy the bloodletting.
[I also note that I'm not even a particular fan of the the [still] current PM. He does, however, deserve better than this.]

Did you get it all off your chest, or is there more bile to be vented?
I know where your feelings lie, however I for one was beginning to believe that we may have been decimated at the next election.
I will have my say at the party meeting. Perhaps it could have been done differently.

Clearly times have changed since you posted this and we now have Julia at the helm I'm not sure how I feel about it but I think the timing is God awful frankly. Only our shitty opposition will save Labour in March. I feel he's been betrayed by the bitch frankly. He wasn't awesome but he did manage to keep us out of recession while the rest of the world went down the dunny. Shame, we'll never know whether it was his leadership or John Howard's surplus.

Roddy, there is a lot more bile, don't you worry about that. All that I can say is that yet again the leadership (HA!) of the ALP is their own worst enemy.

Baino, Howard's surplus was the legacy of Hawke/Keating's reforms. Rarely in politics do people get what they deserve.
I do hope that Ms Gillard gets hers though...

Oh, my. I see you have some strong feelings about this. Of course, I've been known to get on a bit of a roll about politics myself. I can't even talk to my brother about politics anymore. Because clearly he's an idiot.

PattiKen, I'm resolving to not talking about it too.

In becoming a Christian, one of the things that you pick up quick (or maybe not so quick) is the code that we use when we speak.
I can speak for paragraphs, using terms that only we understand as followers of Christ.
We speak of "Light for the Lost", "BGMC", "Speed the Light", on and on it goes.
Words roll off of our tongues like, "sanctification", "blessed", and "tongues", words that we would never think of using in an every day conversation.
We use words like "Worldly, eschatology, seeking, sacrificial, Pagan, exegetical, brothers & Sisters (in Christ), fellowship, discipleship, walking in the light, the enemy, premarital sex, spiritual warfare, battle cry, hosanna, and holy."
We like to say that someone is "saved", and the non-churched person asks, "saved from what?" (Even though the word is found in the Bible).
In March of 2009, the police department of Dallas, Texas, joined a growing number of agencies getting rid of complicated codes used in radio calls or signals. Instead, operators and officers now communicate through a plain-language system that relies on ordinary words and phrases.
For example, in the past an officer might have radioed in to say, "I'm approaching a Code 7 on Highland Ave." Now they just say, "I'm approaching a minor accident on Highland."
The switch is due in large part to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. During the chaos that resulted from the attacks, many federal agencies and officers had trouble communicating with each other because they used different codes for different situations—or worse, similar codes that had different meanings between agencies.
As a result of that confusion, federal officials mandated that plain-language be used when police and other federal agents respond to major disasters. Many local police and fire departments have followed suit in recent years.
Herb Ebsen, a senior corporal with the Dallas Police Department, thinks the change to a plain-language system is a great idea. "It's just common sense," he said. "If we start speaking in codes, you have a real chance for a problem or misinterpretation."
So true.
Let me decipher some "code words" for you in the church.
Someone is asked to do something in the church, and they say, "I'll pray about it."
What is really means - "There is no way this side of heaven that I am going to do that."
Someone shares that they feel "led" to go to another church.
What it really means - "I don't like the way things are going in the church and I am outta there!"
Someone ask that you pray for "Chicago Cathy who is (and you fill in the blank).
What it really means - "I want everyone to know that is going on in Cathy's life."
Here are some others:
1. I'm waiting for God to open some doors = I'm living in my parent's basement.
2. God gave me a word for you = I have advice to help you with your disaster of a life.
3. I'm going to have my quiet time = Leave me the heck alone!
4. God is good = My life stinks.
5. Bless his/her heart = What an idiot.
6. I have the gift of discernment = I can judge people without even talking to them.
7. I was having fellowship with them = We had Pepsi and pizza and watched the game instead of going to church.
8. I'm saved by grace, not works = I can do whatever the heck I want.
9. I kissed dating goodbye = I couldn't get a blind date, literally.
10. Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouth = I can't believe you said the real curse word!
11. I don't mean to judge but... = I'm going to judge.
12. I'm dating Jesus right now = Are you kidding? I'm way out of your league.
13. God wants me to take some time off from this relationship = I met someone else and I'm too coward to break up with you.
14. I'll pray about marrying you = NO!
15. God told me that we are supposed to get married = Maybe you'll say yes if God is behind this.
16. I'm fasting = Your spiritual life is minuscule compared to mine. Try to keep up.
17. God has called me to minister to her = She's really hot.
18. I think you should pray about it = You'll see that I'm right.
19. We've decided to court, not date = My parents have a death grip on my life.
20. Courting = Homeschool dating.
21. Lord willing = My plans are His plans.
22. Take this with a grain of salt = I'm about to really offend you.
23. I'm feeling convicted about this = One day my actions might change too!
24. Have I offended you? = Why are you treating me like garbage?
25. Who wants to pray? = I don't want to pray right now.
Someone says, "I am really hurt by what they said."
What it really means - "I am really ticked off and would like to do something about it."
Well, you get the point. Maybe, just maybe, it is time we stop speaking in code and speak plainly and clearly.
Just a thought for a Wednesday.

While I try my best to keep this blog updated with recent news and events, I am not always successful at finding the extra time it takes to keep my posts as timely as they should be. I'd like to share the radio interview I did last Friday with WZOZ's Leslie Ann. Have a listen:
If you have a suggestion for a post topic, or would like to author a post yourself, please contact us and let us know!

It was my niece's 5th birthday on the weekend. My sister organised a birthday party in the local park in Berry. It was a beautiful day.
Anna had wanted to put on a show so she asked everyone to bring some dress up costumes and musical instruments. Anna's friends didn't disappoint. They came as pirates, they came as princesses, they came as fairies, they came as vampires. And woe betide the man that failed to recognised which was which. There's nothing quite like being given the cold shoulder by a five year old.
ME : Oh look at you! Great costume. What have you come as?
CHILD stares at me mutely like I've stolen his lolly bag.
ME : Oh I know! You're stuntman!
CHILD stares at me in disgust.
ME : No? Wait, I got it! You're... batman!
CHILD now looks like he might vomit on me.
CHILD's OLDER SISTER : He's a vampire.
ME : Oh... yeah... Silly me.
The children run off and I'm left to wonder how I was meant to get "vampire" from a cape and a tshirt that says, "I'm a stuntman".
This little guy was my favourite though. He was obviously someone's younger brother who, in return for being allowed to tag along with his older sis', had been made to wear the only remaining costume in the household, which just happened to be a red and green fairy costume. Far from letting the costume get him down, he worked it, charging around the park, getting some sweet fairy milage out of those wings.
