The music ministry at APC exists to help lead the congregation in singing praise to our triune God and in ministering God's Word to his people through song. God's glory is the chief and highest end of our worship, therefore our music ministry is committed to making his praise glorious. Our music is intentionally:
- Trinitarian - praising the excellencies of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit.
- Word-Driven - saturated with Scripture and faithful
- Gospel-focused - proclaiming the good news of the perfect life, substitutionary death, and triumphant resurrection of King Jesus.
Corporate worship is not a a performance to be observed or a product to be consumed but rather an event that we are called to participate in. One of the ways in which the congregation participates in corporate worship is through the sung praise of God. We believe that congregational singing is the most important musical event that happens in our services, therefore this is where the music ministry focuses most of its attention. We aim to use the best hymnody from throughout church history. We sing many of the traditional hymns of the Reformed faith as well as the best of modern hymnody.
We are always looking for more vocalists and instrumentalists to assist the music ministry by exercising their musical gifts. If you would like more information about serving in the music ministry please contact Music Ministry Assistant Mrs. Linda Sease at 828-684-7221 ext. 357 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sounds like a perfect landmark case situation. If they sued, they'd win, simply put. It doesn't matter that the car wasn't damages. If someone came and disassembled your entire house, but nothing got broken, are you saying I couldn't sue that guy?

I'm sorry, Just know a lot of people who've had very bad experiences from meeting people they spoke to online. Especially women, So I guess it was just a natural instinct. After all it's a cold cold world out there, I would discourage people who are not able to defend themselves from doing the same, Best thing to do would be to meet in a very public place.
Two tough guys! Ok I got it now, You both seem very mature and intelligent.. Sorry once again.edit on 3-6-2011 by Serizawa because: (no reason given)

You are still accepting the plea. You're choice. And if you don't like your attorney, read some stuff for 2 weeks and defend yourself. Fact remains here that it's not the system's fault. It's people's own laziness.

Peppermint Chocolate Biscotti
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Every Christmas I am tempted by all of the peppermint chocolate biscotti I see--but many of the recipes, while gorgeous, are frequently either quite time intensive and/or not good storage cookies. I wanted something a little more basic. I remember Alice Medrich's FANTASTIC chocolate biscotti recipe and wondered if it would adapt well to peppermint. Turns out the answer is a resounding yes.
If you cannot find the Andes peppermint baking chips (WalMart carries them during the holidays), try chocolate chips and add 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the dough.
—The Spiced Life
Makes: 25ish
ounces AP flour
ounces Dutch processed cocoa powder
teaspoons baking powder
teaspoon salt
ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
ounces unsalted butter, softened
ounces granulated sugar
large eggs
teaspoons vanilla
cup Andes peppermint baking chips
cup chopped white chocolate
- Preheat the oven to 300 F with a rack in the center of the oven.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Remove about 1/4 cup and place it in the food processor with the blade attached. Set the rest aside.
- Add the bittersweet chocolate to the food processor with the flour mixture and process until completely pulverized. Add back to the flour mixture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until completely integrated and creamy. Mix in the eggs and vanilla–if using a mixer, mix on speed 2 or lower. Add the flour and mix on the lowest speed, just until all of the flour has been evenly moistened by the butter-egg mixture.
- Stir in the peppermint baking chips and the white chocolate. Place parchment or a silicone mat on a cookie sheet. Shape the dough on the cookie sheet to form a long rectangle, about 16X4 inches for long biscotti, or 2 shorter and more narrow logs for shorter biscotti.
- Bake for approximately 35 minutes (start checking at 20 minutes if baking 2 logs), until the loaf is firm but springy to the touch. Rotate from front to back halfway through to ensure even baking. Obviously do not let the loaf burn, but in light of my experience with a loaf that was almost too soft to slice, I would err on the side of overbaking. At 300 F this is not too risky.
- Remove the loaf to cool on the pan. Let it cool for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Before slicing, turn the oven back on to 300 F. Remove the loaf or loaves–carefully!–to a cutting board. Slice 1/2-inch slices of the loaf and transfer them back to the cookie sheet, placing them 1/2 inch apart. If you need to, use 2 cookie sheets and place the oven racks in the lower and upper third of the oven.
- Bake for an additional 35 minutes, until the biscotti feel dry and crusty. Rotate from front to back (and top to bottom if using 2 sheets) halfway through. Cool the biscotti completely before storing in airtight tins.

When writing isn't going well-then the bad thing about being a writer is that I also have the freedom and flexibility to do something badly, and no one else can fix it for me.
I started trying to write when I was in second or third grade.
I write a book over a period of months or years, and when I'm done with it, usually another year goes by before I see it in print. It's hard to be patient and wait
Sometimes I can spend as long revising a manuscript as I spent writing it in the first place.

|Draft European Communities (Definition of Treaties) (Stabilisation and Association Agreement Between the European Communities and their Member States, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) Order 2002
Mr. Randall: I understand the Under-Secretary's point. However, some Pakistani nationals were killed recently. They cannot be regarded as part of the ethnic problem.
Mr. MacShane: I have read those reports but am not sure whether there was a satisfactory conclusion to the matter. I am happy to find out and write to the hon. Gentleman. Allegations were certainly made that the people involved were not from the Balkans. I accept that there are influences from outside the region and that some people would be better advised to stay at home rather than mix in the affairs of the Balkans.
The amount of European aid for Macedonia between 2000 and 2004 is €193.2 million. Britain is heavily involved, principally through the Department for International Development. The Department is supporting the sector for European integration office within the Government, which is providing training and advice under article 68 of the SAA. Further support to the sector for European integration office in Skopje will include specialist legal training. I do not know whether that will involve a specific Scottish input. Everyone around the world is a huge admirer of Scottish jurisprudence and the contribution that Scottish legal experts can play.
We will provide a briefing for parliamentarians in a one-day session after the new Government have been formed. We will be assisting the Government with a programme of public administration reform, particularly to the general secretariat at the public administration reform unit and the civil servants agency. To some extent, these matters have been put on hold during the electoral process and, of course, until the Ohrid agreement is fully implemented. Parliament was suspended on 18 July, just before the SAA agreement was laid before the House. Most of the laws under the framework and aid agreement were passed by the state, but six remain. The Government's tasks will be to pass the remaining laws and fully implement them.
The countries that have ratified the Macedonia SAA are Austria, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands and Sweden. The hon. Member for Tweeddale, Ettrick and Lauderdale asked about the Croatian SAA. Four countries have ratified it; Austria, Denmark, Ireland and Spain.
I was asked about the effect of our strong line on Croatia. To judge by the media reports, it has certainly caused serious ramifications inside Croatian politics.
Column Number: 11The reports depict Britain as a country that insists on compliance with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The Croatian President, Prime Minister and opposition politicians are now reflecting on what to do.
I wish to take advantage of this short debate to say that I am equally concerned about Serbia's failure fully to comply with ICTY on General Mladic and its failure to exert the influence that is necessary on Republika Srpska to deliver the war criminal Karadzic. I shall not point fingers, but the slowness to bring to closure the ICTY proceedings in the Balkans is undoubtedly a severe hindrance to full normalisation of relations with Europe.
Those and other matters that hon. Members raised will be discussed at the conference later next month that the Foreign Office has initiated on organised crime in the Balkans. It will be conducted under the joint chairmanship of the Foreign Secretary and the Home Secretary, and key justice and interior ministers and police experts from all the Balkan countries will be attending. Britain has several drug liaison officers and Customs and Excise people at airports who check who comes into the UK. It is well recognised that the whole of the Balkans is a transit route for people who traffic drugs and smuggle cigarettes, arms and so on.
The issue of crime and border access is of the highest priority, and is undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block to visa-free access, which hon. Members discussed. I understand the aspirations of, and look forward to, visa-free contact with the Balkans, but we must put to our new partners their responsibility to stop the high level of criminality that
Column Number: 12overspills into other countries. All who deal with asylum seekers, as many of us do in our surgeries, know that a great number of them are transitted through the Balkans, if not originating from there.
The mandate of Amber Fox will end on 15 December. Our view, as for other parts of the Balkans, is that we are not in the business of keeping troops and international organisations there for ever. Macedonia went through a horribly critical period last year. However, let us not forget that, after the end of communism and the break-up of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, Macedonia on the whole stayed out of the terrible conflicts that raged to its north and west. We want to support that more stable Macedonia.
If hon. Members write to me about any points that I have not covered in my remarks, I should be very happy to give them all the details that are required, but, at the end of the day, the Committee agrees that the EU's role as a source of stability is vital to the future peace of the western Balkans. The SAAs are important building blocks for that and the Macedonian agreement that we are discussing will serve as a strong political message of EU support to the wider region and should act as a catalyst for other states. I commend the order to the House.
Question put and agreed to.
Committee rose at five minutes past Eleven o'clock.
The following Members attended the Committee:

Quick Reference
Used to describe a situation where marks or grades awarded to assessed work show very little variance from student to student, but are closely bunched within a few marks of one another. This could indicate either that the ability of the students within the group being assessed is fairly uniform, or, more worryingly, that the assessment may be invalid or unreliable. If there is bunching at the lower end of the marking scale, this may indicate a problem either with the selection and recruitment of students, or with the quality of the teaching, or with the effectiveness of the learning.

How Aubrey Plaza Shut Down Ryan Gosling
"I was like, 'We worked together, didn't we? You look so familiar.'"
Some people only know Ryan Gosling as "the guy from the movie," and some don't know him at all. Parks and Recreation actress Aubrey Plaza is in the latter camp, she tells Rolling Stone. "I was at this juice bar, and he came in. I didn't recognize him," Plaza admits. "He said, 'I'm a big fan of the show,' and I said, 'Thank you. Are you an actor?' He kind of smirked and said, 'Yeahhh ... ' I asked his name, and he said, 'Ryan,' but it didn't click. I was like, 'We worked together, didn't we? You look so familiar.' He kept smirking, like I was messing with him." Alas, she was not. "I got my juice and left. I missed my shot." It's a meet-cute! Go search for him at Disneyland, Aubrey! [Rolling Stone via Videogum]

The Inquisitor's Key (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Hard to Find
The most riveting and ambitious novel to date in Jefferson Bass' New York Times bestselling Body Farm mystery series, The Inquisitor's Key takes forensic investigator Dr. Bill Brockton to Avignon, France, and embroils him in a deadly religious mystery that could shake the Vatican itself to its very foundations. Another sterling crime novel in the vein of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, and Karin Slaughter, as well as TV's C.S.I., The Inquisitor's Key adds a touch of James Rollins and The Da Vinci Code to the typically acclaimed Jefferson Bass mix of suspense, surprise, and finely detailed forensic investigation.
Praise For…
"This series . . . just keeps getting better. [Bones of Betrayal] features both the most compelling story and the best portrayal yet of Brockton, who has completed the transition from fictional representation of coauthor Bass to fully realized protagonist."
"Carved in Bone has a unique corpse, solid science, quirky humor and a loveable protagonist. That a novel like this can be described as charming is a tribute to the team that created some very human, down-to-earth characters."
-USA Today
"A superb mystery novel—well-plotted, filled with memorable characters, based on accurate forensic science and written with more flair and literary sensibility than anything by John Grisham. The novel, in fact, is in Cornwell's league, high praise indeed."
-Charlotte Observer on The Devil's Bones
"The Sherlock Holmes for bones has arrived. . . . A privileged glimpse into the world of a ground-breaking pioneer."
-Katherine Ramsland, Author of The Forensic Science of C.S.I.

From right to left, take each digit in the base 16 number and multiply it by 16^n, where "n" is the number of places to the left of the rightmost digit, then sum the results together to get the base 10, or decimal, value. For the rightmost digit, n is 0.Continue Reading
Start with the rightmost hex digit and multiply it by 16^0, remembering that any number to the power 0 is 1. Then, take the next digit to the left, and multiply it by 16^1. Multiply the next digit to the left by 16^2, and so on, until you reach the leftmost digit. If a hex digit is A, B, C, D, E, or F then treat it as 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15, respectively. For example, suppose you have the number A5F3 and you want to convert this from hex to decimal. Start with the rightmost digit, 3, and multiply it by 16^0. You get 3 * (16^0) = 3. Then, multiply F by 16^1. Since F represents 15 in hex, this is 15 * (16^1) = 240. Then, multiply 5 by 16^2. You get 5 * (16^2) = 1280. Then, multiply A by 16^3. Since A represents 10 in hex, this is 10 * (16^3) = 40960.
After taking each individual hex digit and converting it to base 10, sum up the individual values to get the final result in decimal form. For example, in converting the hex number A5F3, the individual hex digits from right to left represent the decimal numbers 3, 240, 1280, and 40960. Sum these together to get the decimal or base 10 number 42483.
A variety of websites such as Binary Hex Converter can convert hex numbers to decimal. Using these helps determine that your calculations are correct.

HOUSTON --Harris County Judge Ed Emmett was injured during an early-morning tennis match on Monday and has been advised by doctors that he will probably require surgery to repair his injured right shoulder. According to his staff, Judge Emmett fell and landed on his shoulder during a tennis match with a friend, suffering a "Stage 3 Acromioclavicular (AC) Separation," meaning that the two ligaments at the joint were both torn and the shoulder displaced. He is resting at home and will visit an orthopedic surgeon Tuesday to determine a surgery date.
Staff members are reviewing the judge's schedule and working on rescheduling many of his appointments.
Judge Emmett said he is eager to return to the office as soon as possible and that he was hopeful he could still attend some events later this week that could not be rescheduled.

If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace. On the other hand, if our mental attitude is more negative influenced by fear, suspicion, helplessness, or self-loathing, then even when surrounded by our best friends, in a nice atmosphere and comfortable surroundings, we shall not be happy. So, mental attitude is very important: it makes a real difference to our state of happiness.
I think it is wrong to expect that our problem can be solved by money or material benefit. It is unrealistic to believe that something positive can come about merely from something external. Of course, our material situation is important and helpful to us. However, our inner, mental attitudes are equally important—if not more so. We must learn to steer away from pursuing a life of luxury, as it is an obstacle to our practice.
It sometimes seems to me that it is the fashion for people to put too much emphasis on material development and neglect their inner values. We must therefore develop a better balance between material preoccupations and inner spiritual growth.
I'm sharing the above because I'm currently reading An Open Heart: Practising Compassion in Everyday Life, by the Dalai Lama (edited by Nicholas Vreeland). It's thought provoking and I'm reading it slowly, reflectively.
I'm also watching live, right this moment, His Holiness the Dalai Lama's talk on "Compassion as the Pillar of World Peace" from the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. I found out about this webcast by accident when I was searching for the one in 1999.

As a pedestrian, it's important that you practice extreme care and caution to ensure that you're getting to where you ened to go as safely as possible. While the Federal Highway Administration has made strides in increasing pedestrian safety, there are things you can to do avoid putting yourself at risk of being involved in an accident.
Be Visible
If you're someone who takes walks in the evenings or early morning, be sure that you're wearing clothing that is easily noticeable to other drivers. According to reports released by the National Highway Safety Administration, 32 percent of fatal pedestrian accidents occur between the hours of 8 p.m. and 11:59 p.m., when visibility is a considerable factor. Try to stay in areas that are well lit and make eye contact with drivers, especially when crossing the street. By wearing clothing that is reflective and lightly colored, you can be spotted easily by drivers.
Avoid Distractions
Something as simple as putting down your phone and not wearing headphones can help you stay focused on your surroundings. With technology on a constant rise, smartphones become an everyday essential that we are easily distracted by. As a pedestrian, your most valuable tools for staying safe are your eyes and ears – it's crucial that you use them.
Walk in Safe Spaces
Always use crosswalks when crossing the street and stay on sidewalks whenever possible. If you find yourself needing to cross the street and there's no crosswalk, be sure to find an area that is well lit and wait for there to be a big enough gap in traffic that would allow you to safely make it to the other side. This should only be the case when crossing small streets – never try jay-walking across a busy street or intersection. It's safer to go out of your way to find a crosswalk.
Don't Drink and Walk
Nearly half of all traffic collisions that end in a pedestrian fatality involve alcohol consumption, and 34 percent of that total is from the pedestrian's alcohol consumption. While it may seem safer to walk home after having too much to drink, alcohol significantly impacts your depth perception and balance – which can be extremely dangerous when walking alongside a busy street. The safest alternative is to call a taxi or use a ride sharing app to get home safely.
If you've been injured in a pedestrian accident, don't hesitate to call Randall J. Trost, P.C. today. Our Lynchburg pedestrian accident attorneys are backed by decades of experience and are unafraid to fight for justice on your behalf in a courtroom.

NotifyDataErrorValidationRule Class
The .NET API Reference documentation has a new home. Visit the .NET API Browser on docs.microsoft.com to see the new experience.
Represents a rule that checks for errors that are raised by a data source that implements INotifyDataErrorInfo.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
Creates a new instance of the NotifyDataErrorValidationRule class.
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the validation rule runs when the target of the Binding is updated. (Inherited from ValidationRule.)
Gets or sets when the validation rule runs.(Inherited from ValidationRule.)
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
|Validate(Object, CultureInfo)
Performs validation checks on a value.(Overrides ValidationRule.Validate(Object, CultureInfo).)
|Validate(Object, CultureInfo, BindingExpressionBase)
Performs validation checks on a value.(Inherited from ValidationRule.)
|Validate(Object, CultureInfo, BindingGroup)
Performs validation checks on a value.(Inherited from ValidationRule.)
The WPF data binding model enables you to associate ValidationRules with a Binding or BindingGroup object. The NotifyDataErrorValidationRule class is a built-in rule that checks for exceptions that are thrown during the updates of the binding source property. You can provide custom logic to specify how the binding engine handles these exceptions by using a UpdateSourceExceptionFilterCallback. For more information, see UpdateSourceExceptionFilter.
An alternative syntax to setting the NotifyDataErrorValidationRule explicitly is to set the ValidatesOnExceptions property to true on your Binding, MultiBinding, or BindingGroup object. By default, the value of ValidatesOnExceptions is true, so you do not need to explicitly use a NotifyDataErrorValidationRule.
You can create a custom rule by creating a class that derives from ValidationRule. For more information and a detailed discussion of data validation, see Data Binding Overview.
Available since 4.5
Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

One legend tells of koi swimming up China's Yellow River. When they reached the end of the river, they found a waterfall. Most turned back, unwilling to try to reach the top.

After 100 years of jumping, one koi finally reached the top.The gods were pleased at the fish's unwillingness to give up, so they turned him into a dragon.

The trek may seem extreme but was well worth it for the birders.
During the first week of December, Jill Peleuses and Michelle Frazier set off on a two-day journey to the Outer Banks hoping to spy a lingering interloper - a non-native snowy owl who'd been spotted hanging out on the beach at Cape Hatteras.
"We have the fever," said Peleuses, owner of Wild Bird & Garden in Wilmington. "We were so excited. Neither one of us had ever seen a snowy owl before. It was the day after the Bonner Bridge closed, so it was a series of two ferries and probably eight hours of travel one way. And the whole time we're hoping, 'Please don't let that bird fly away.'"
The trek may seem extreme but was well worth it for the birders, who viewed the excursion as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spy a snowy owl in person. This winter, North Carolina has seen an unprecedented influx of the birds, which are native to the Arctic tundra in Alaska and Canada and almost never fly this far south. Since October, 14 owls - white, with black markings and bright yellow eyes - have been spotted in the state, from Wrightsville Beach to Cape Hatteras and as far west as Asheville.
Biologists and birders don't have a definitive explanation for the influx, though it's most likely related to northern food supplies.
"It's probably based on having a lot of success with a lot of chicks being fledged this summer and having a lot of snowy owls out there," said Lindsay Addison, coastal biologist with Audubon North Carolina. "They eat rodents, and if they don't find food farther north in their typical winter range, they come south."
That type of winter migration, known as an irruption, occurs every three to five years, Addison said. But even during those years, snowy owls are an uncommon sight in North Carolina.
"There was an irruption last year," Addison said. "It doesn't usually happen every year, so it was unexpected. I would say they're a rare bird for North Carolina, but every few years, there will be one somewhere in the state. It occurs every so often."
The birds won't stay here long-term, though the switch from life on the tundra to days on the beach isn't as extreme as it may seem. Snowy owls are used to flat, windswept expanses of land, so temperatures aside, coastal locations aren't that different from their natural habitat.
"They like open spaces, so sitting out on a sand dune or on the beach itself - that's more what they're used to in the tundra, rather than the woods," Addison said. "That's why you see them there."
Fortunately for Peleuses and Frazier, beach habitat lends itself well to bird-watching. Within five minutes of arriving at Cape Hatteras, the duo spotted the snowy owl on an open stretch of sand.
"It was beautiful. Just very grand," Peleuses said. "We stood on the beach and watched the owl for three hours. It was something we may never have the opportunity to see again. We've traveled for other birds, but never gone so far for one. I'm so glad we did go."

Federal Tax Benefits are available through use of employer-offered IRS Section 132(f) Qualified Transportation Benefits. These benefits provide a tax benefit to employers, and employees save too! Employers can offer them in one of the following ways:
- Employer-Paid Transportation Benefits. Employers can pay for their employees to commute by transit or vanpool, up to a limit of $255/month. With this arrangement, employees get up to $255 in a tax-free transportation benefit. Employers get a tax deduction for the expense and enjoy savings on payroll-related taxes.
- Employee-Paid, Pre-Tax Transportation Benefits. Employers can allow employees to set aside up to $255/month of pre-tax income to pay for transit or vanpooling. Employers save money overall since the amount set aside is not subject to payroll taxes. Employees save money, too, since the amount of an employee's salary set aside for transportation benefits is not subject to income tax, up to the specified monthly limits.
- Shared-Cost Transportation Benefits. Employers can share the cost of transit or vanpool costs with employees and everyone can receive valuable tax savings. With this approach, employers can provide a portion of the cost of taking transit or vanpooling as a tax-free benefit and allow the employee to set aside pre-tax income to pay for the remaining amount of the benefit (up to the specified limits).
- Parking Cash-Out. Employers can offer their employees the option to "cash out" of their existing parking space. For example, if Company A subsidizes parking for their employees at $60/month, a parking cash-out program would allow employees to choose from the following options: (1) keep the parking space worth $60/month, (2) give up the parking space and receive $60 extra each month in taxable salary, or (3) receive $60/month in tax-free transportation benefits to pay for transit or vanpooling. Cash-out programs often work best for employers that pay separately for parking and for organizations with parking shortages or plans to expand parking facilities.
For an in-depth review of Federal Transportation Benefits check the out the Transportation (Commuting) Benefits section of this publication from the IRS.

Haggis McMutton is one of the pirate barbers encountered in the third game. Haggis, whose given name is Heart Liver and Kidneys Boiled in the Stomach of the Animal McMutton (because his parents were expecting a girl), is originally from Scotland, but when Guybrush encounters him on Isla Plunder, he works at the Barbery Coast in Puerto Pollo as a barber, together with Edward Van Helgen and Cutthroat Bill. Sometimes, Haggis cuts hair so fast the scissors fly from his hands at unbelievable speeds. Before becoming a barber, Haggis spent ten years at sea aboard the HMS Anathema, the fastest ship in the Scottish Navy.
In the game he is responsible for shaving the head of Captain René Rottingham after he believes he has lice: "Holy infestation! You've been struck with the hair demons!" (They were actually planted in his comb by Guybrush.) He later joins Guybrush's crew when Guybrush proves himself in the honoured highland sport of the caber toss on the Field of Competition. Guybrush cheats with a caber made of a rubber tree which bounces further than Haggis', convincing him of his amazing strength.
Later on Haggis and crew engage in song ("A pirate I was meant to be") after their ship, the Sea Cucumber, is boarded by Captain Rottingham. He also announces to Guybrush of their mutiny when they arrive on Blood Island.
His manual for haircutting is the Coiffures for the Discerning Pirate: Spring Edition.
Haggis served ten years aboard H.M.S. Anathema, a clipper ship.
On one occasion, Haggis went on a journey to uncover "The Secret of Bulky Island". He was part of a crew of two score men under the command of Big Jake McJuggernaut, the most powerful captain on the seas. Jake had heard of an enormous treasure on Bulky Island. They set sail, and reached the island within a fortnight, finding the treasure shortly thereafter. When attempting to lift the solid gold chest however, Big Jake's back cracked, and he died. None of the crew could lift the chest. The pirate Angus McFulcrum had followed them to Bulky Island, wanting the treasure for himself. Through an ingenious hauling system, Angus did manage to secure the treasure chest.
Haggis McMutton would later accompany Guybrush on a journey to Blood Island, as a navigator aboard the Sea Cucumber.
El lanzamiento de CáberEditar
In order to get Haggis to join his crew Guybrush must beat him in the Scottish sport known as caber toss, in which a tree trunk is thrown into the air. Guybrush wins by seemingly throwing his caber further than Haggis. However, this is a common misconception of the rules of the caber toss; the rules are not to throw the caber farthest but rather to have the caber land back up as straight as possible.
Citas célebresEditar
- Haggis: "Ach! Blast that ineffectual paperweight! I'll have to go find another."
- Guybrush: "But what about my haircut?"
- Haggis: "Keep your skirt on, lad."
- Guybrush: "'Haggis.' That's an unusual name."
- Haggis: "I suppose it is, but 'Haggis' is just a nickname. Me given name is Heart Liver and Kidneys Boiled in the Stomach of the Animal McMutton."
- Guybrush: "Oh, so your parents were expecting a girl."
- Haggis: "Aye."

Extra Injured on Set of Transformers 3 Sues
She sustained "serious injuries and brain damage" on set. Yikes.
The 24-year-old who sustained a head injury while working as an extra on Transformers 3 is suing Paramount for damages. The suit states that Gabriela Cedillo received "serious injuries and brain damage" as a result of the accident. (A piece of metal went through the windshield of the car she was in, slicing her skull. Yikes.) Michael Bay, the movie's director, was not named in the suit, and Paramount issued a rightly contrite statement in response: "We are all terribly sorry that this accident occurred. Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with Gabriela, her family and loved ones." [Deadline]

I am sitting at my desk near the library's back door when I notice a hat on the floor. Evidently one of the many theology students rushing to class dropped it. I notice that it is a fine hat, made of wool and clearly hand-knit, so I trust its owner will return shortly. If not, I remind myself, there is always the lost-and-found box upstairs. About an hour later, a woman shows up at the desk, looking frazzled. She is wearing what appears to be a hand-knit shawl over her sweater and jeans, and when she spots the hat, her eyes light up.
Oh, I'm so relieved, she says, sweeping the hat into her hands gratefully.
I smile and reply, Well, I figured it was special, since it looks handmade.
Not only that, says the woman, but it was made by my friend who has her own sheep and spins her own wool. Since I raise goats and make cheese, we often do trades.
Now we are off and running.
She tells me she has just started theology school and lives on a farm about an hour away. Before long, I am asking how many goats she has and what she might do with her farm once she graduates.
I tell her about my husband, who keeps bees in our backyard in Decatur, and she tells me about a nearby organic produce market she launched and suggests we might sell our honey there.
A good 15 minutes later, she explains she has to get to class, puts the hat on her head and bustles into the cold afternoon. Before leaving, she says, Obviously, we'll have to continue this conversation.
Later, I can't help but wonder: How many people become part of our lives through some incident that seems to happen purely by chance?
Some people would call the first time my husband and I met a fluke. He was an engineering major at Georgia Tech and wanted to take a philosophy course, but his advisor strongly opposed his studying something so flimsy.
I was teaching the course my husband ended up taking. Had he followed that professor's advice, most likely we never would have met. Yet here we are, over 20 years later, still going strongand occasionally even discussing philosophical issues.
Many people believe life is a series of chance events, but that framework does not work if you believe there is a God who is in charge of everything.
Jesus told us, after all, that not even a sparrow falls without the Father's knowledge, and reminded us that the Father has counted every hair on our heads. This means God gets involved in the small moments of our lives. And dropping a hat or enrolling in a class are not random events, but instead part of his plan for us.
The incident with the hat reminded me to pay attention.
What if I had just handed the student her hat without comment because I had not taken the time to look closely and realize it was handmade? No conversation, I suspect, would have developed.
Too often, we get so wrapped up in our own private worlds that we miss what's going on around us. As a writer, I spend hours at the computer, while outside the birds are performing a spring sonata and the squirrels are doing complicated acrobatic maneuvers in the pine trees.
Many people fret that they can't find God, but have we ever lost him? After all, Jesus outlined a definite method for encountering God in everyday life (Mt: 31-46). He said we meet God in people who are hungry, naked, sick and in prisonand don't forget the strangers.
St. Paul went on to suggest that some of the strangers who wander into our lives may actually be angels in disguise. All these years later, it is a bit daunting to realize how often we miss the chance to give strangers a warm welcome.
Hundreds of students pass by my desk at the library each week hurrying to class. Some of them have passed by the desk for years, yet so engrossed in their concerns they barely stop to say hello.
Often, I have a pot of flowers on the desk. Some students pause to admire them, while others apparently don't even see them.
I can't blame the ones who rush by, because I do the same thing. So often, I am wrapped up in my own thoughts that when I go to the grocery store or pharmacy, for example, I neglect the opportunity to converse with the cashier or the pharmacist.
My husband and I are on an ongoing journey to find a new church community in metropolitan Atlanta. As we jump from parish to parish, it is somewhat disheartening to realize how often we show up for Mass and are then largely ignored by the regulars afterward.
Again, I can't point the finger, because I have done the same thing. Especially in huge parishes, folks may be hesitant to greet someone they think is a stranger for fear of discovering that the apparent newcomers have been parishioners for years, but went largely unnoticed.
I have not seen the young woman with the woolen cap again. Perhaps God sent her to my desk that day to give me a message, a gentle nudge: start paying attention, especially to the strangers I encounter. Because, who knows? The next person who loses a hat or gloves near my desk may be no ordinary student on the way to class.
She could very well be one of St. Paul's angels in disguise.

About Us | School PsychologySkip to content Skip to main navigation
The Applied Educational Psychology: School Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University offers doctoral education (PhD) with a focus on the application of psychological science to the promotion of learning and mental health in schools and other educational and mental health contexts. Our goal is to train beginning level doctoral school psychologists to work in schools, universities, research centers, testing companies and clinics that serve the educational and mental health needs of children, youth, and their families.
Our training model is one of both formal instruction and apprenticeship. Course work provides students with a strong foundation in psychological theory and research as well as its application to (a) the instruction and learning of school related subjects, particularly reading, and (b) the understanding, promotion, and treatment of mental health problems. Practica and internship experiences provide students with the opportunity to apply this knowledge directly to their work with clients. Clients are seen in a variety of contexts from their first semester in the program, including the Dean Hope Center (our college clinic) collaborating schools (we provide school psychological services to children and youth in schools that serve children from ethnically and linguistically diverse low and middle income environments), and organized externships in public schools, hospitals, and clinics in the New York City area. Students apprentice in teaching (labs, modules for assessment courses) and supervision (of first year students with practicum clients in the Dean Hope Center) as a key component of their training. Students also take on leadership roles in research labs, admissions, faculty searches, and in mentoring younger PhD students. Faculty research, all of which is cognitively, behaviorally, and/or developmentally oriented, provides yet another vehicle for students to develop and apply their knowledge.
*In addition to the Ph.D., the program in School Psychology also has a New York State Department of Education registered Ed.D. option. However, that degree is not accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA), and the program has not accepted applications or admitted students to the Ed.D. program in many years.
Program Goals:
Goal 1: Can assess and diagnose learning, behavior, and social-emotional problems and strengths; and can plan, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of psychological and educational prevention and intervention programs that promote cognitive, behavioral, and social-emotional growth of children and families.
Goal 2: Demonstrate the ability to apply theoretical knowledge and skills when consulting with teachers, parents, and other professionals.
Goal 3: Understand and respect individual differences and differences in culture, race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status and sexual orientation and can work effectively in multicultural and pluralistic social contexts.
Goal 4: Develop a sound theoretical foundation in psychological science psychology that can be used by scientists/practitioners to plan and conduct psychological and educational research.
Goal 5: Are actively involved in the profession, committed to professional ethics and standards, and to life-long learning.

The past two World Series champions meet to see who gets a chance to win this year's crown. The Giants wiped out Texas in 2011, the Cards edged the Rangers last year. ... These teams have met twice in the NLCS. The Cardinals overcame a power show by Jeffrey Leonard to outlast SF in seven games in 1987, then the Giants triumphed in five games in 2002 and sent Barry Bonds to his only World Series. ... The teams split both series this year - a two-game set in San Francisco in May and a four-gamer at Busch Stadium in August. Marco Scutaro hit a grand slam and had 7 RBIs for the Giants in a 15-0 romp, the Cards' worst home shutout loss since 1961. ... Posey went 10 for 21 with two HRs and six RBIs in the six games. ... Pagan had a .500 OBP against the Cardinals. ... Beltran is 7 for 14 with six walks, three doubles and one homer off Lincecum. ... There's some crossover between the teams. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny closed his playing days with the Giants. The Gold Glove catcher spent two seasons with San Francisco, and ended his career because of concussion symptoms. ... Beltran spent the last half of 2011 with the Giants, then signed with St. Louis as a free agent.
Big Picture:
Cardinals: These Cards sure are a high-flying act, aren't they? Down to their last strike, they rallied for four runs in the ninth inning to beat Washington 9-7 in the deciding Game 5 of the NL division series. If the comeback seemed somewhat familiar, there's good reason: Just like last year in Game 6 vs. Texas, the Cardinals trailed 7-5 in the ninth, had two outs, two on and two strikes on Freese before saving their season. They advanced this year minus the Rally Squirrel that fired up their fans last fall. ... St. Louis returns to the NLCS for the seventh time since the start of the 2000 season, moving on despite missing injured All-Stars SS Rafael Furcal and 1B Lance Berkman. ... The Cardinals will be minus LH Jaime Garcia against the Giants. He left after two innings vs. Washington because of a strained rotator cuff and was taken off the roster, replaced by rookie RH Shelby Miller. ... The Cardinals were the last team to reach the playoffs this year, clinching the second NL wild-card spot on the next-to-last day of the season. ... St. Louis seems to relish this wild-card role. The Cards won the World Series last year in the same position, then saw slugger Albert Pujols leave as a free agent and saw manager Tony La Russa retire. ... Like the Giants with Posey, the Cardinals have an NL MVP candidate at catcher. Molina had a career season that justified the five-year, $75 million contract extension he signed in spring training. On track for a fifth straight Gold Glove, Molina has an arm that discourages runners from even trying to steal. He had personal bests at the plate, too, finishing fourth in the league in hitting. ... They wound up nine games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central, but their October pedigree is showing through. St. Louis won at Atlanta 6-3 in the wild-card playoff, helped by a disputed infield-fly call. In the NLDS, Carpenter came back from an injured-interrupted season to post his first victory since winning Game 7 of last year's World Series. Carpenter is 10-2 lifetime in the postsea son and has won five straight decisions.
Giants: The NL West champion Giants became the ninth team to overcome a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five postseason series and first to do it by winning the final three games on the road, rallying past Cincinnati. ... Posey, who missed most of last season after serious leg and ankle injuries from a frightening collision at home plate with the Marlins' Scott Cousins on May 25, returned every bit the player he was during his 2010 NL Rookie of the Year campaign. He won the NL batting title and is a top contender for the MVP. He made a big impact against the Reds when he hit two homers, including a grand slam in the decisive Game 5 win. ... Manager Bruce Bochy's team rode pitching to the title in 2010 but the lineup this year is much more dangerous, especially on the road. The Giants were the second highest-scoring team on the road in the regular season, averaging 5.1 runs per game. ... San Francisco became the first team since the 1987 Cardinals to make the playoffs with the fewest homers in the majors, hitting just 103. ... In April, the Giants lost All-Star closer and 2010 major league saves leader Brian Wilson. In August, they lost All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera to 50-game suspension for a positive testosterone test. Cabrera (.346) was reinstated by Major League Baseball on Friday, but the Giants don't plan to put him on the playoff roster. ... Just as he did two years ago during that World Series championship run, GM Brian Sabean brought in key pieces to fill key needs: Scutaro at second and Pence in right field. They're not quite the castoffs and misfits of 2010 - Cody Ross, Pat Burrell - but more a team that overcame the absence of switch-hitting Sandoval because of two DL stints and moved forward seemingly unfazed when Cabrera got suspended. ... Sandoval made up for his playoff flop in 2010, hitting .333 with a homer and three RBIs in the first round. He appeared in only six postseason games and one in the World Series in 2010 - batting .176 (3 for 17) with two RBIs and three strikeouts. ... Giants rookie Hector Sanchez might catch, with Posey moving to first base, when Lincecum or Zito starts.
Watch For:
- Timmy Time. Lincecum looked nothing like a two-time Cy Young winner when he posted the highest ERA in the National League in the regular season. That performance kept him out of the rotation in the first round, but he excelled in his new role as a reliever. He allowed one run, three hits and no walks in 6 1-3 innings, getting the win in Game 4. He could move back into the rotation in the NLCS after Zito lasted just 2 2-3 innings in his one start.
- Triples Alley. The Giants hit just 31 homers during the regular season at AT&T Park - six fewer than Barry Bonds hit himself there during his record-setting 2001 season. They made up for the lack of longballs with a major league-leading 57, including 29 at home with the spacious right-center field.
- Carp in Control. It seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Chris Carpenter wouldn't pitch in 2012, especially after the 37-year-old had a procedure in July to relieve nerve pressure in his pitching shoulder that caused numbness to the entire right side of his body. Winless in three starts in September, he pitched shutout ball to win his start in the NLDS. It was his first victory since Game 7 of the World Series last year, and re-established him as an October ace.
