Samantha is a pro. She is both patient and persistent! I highly recommend her for anyone interested in learning French.
I always enjoy my interactions with the staff. There are many activities in addition to the classes and the staff keeps us very well informed. I have enjoyed all three of my instructors in French
Our tutor, Liz, worked with our daughter in calculus and was very knowledgeable in the subject matter and skilled at honing in on the specific lesson. Her method of teaching was conducive to our daughter's learning style, making her a natural fit. Each session was helpful and overall we all had a very positive experience. We would recommend our tutor and Club Z.
We hired Micheline after my daughter took her initial SAT and ACT test as we felt she could do better with the input of an expert. After two months of consistent tutoring, my daughter again took the tests and her scores improved dramatically. She liked Micheline, and we were happy with her professionalism. Micheline is also very patient. When my son needed help with Spanish, we called Micheline. My son enjoyed & looked forward to his lessons, learned to love Spanish, and made a lot of progress. We would highly recommend her!
Dr James is a great teacher! He is very passionate about what he does and is extremely knowledgeable. He was my undergraduate astrophysics professor and I assist him with stellar evolution research. I highly recommend him for teaching/tutoring as he keeps your attention, makes complex subjects awesome to learn, teaches neat French phrases and what not to say because it actually means something else, and is quick to respond to questions.
Juan is a very professional and organized instructor. I took Spanish lessons with him and my level of proficiency increased dramatically since I needed to pass the ACTFL Intermediate High. In addition, he speaks Colombian Spanish which is one of the easiest varieties to understand. I strongly recommend him.
I am fluent in both English and German, offering English and/or German language tutoring as well as translation services. After completing my high school diploma at an English language international school in Germany, I spent a year assisting elementary teachers at the international school. Further, I have spent the last year of college in Boston tutoring college and graduate students in German.
I m passionate and my technical immersion approach
My first language is Spanish, and second is English. My Spanish has no particular accent, so your Spanish can be understood everywhere. I am from Uruguay, South America but have lived in many different countries.
I am enjoying sharing my knowledge after 16 years of living in the USA. I know the difficulties to learn a second language, but I will explain to you first, then, without you realizing, you already know 45 % of the French vocabulary. Nothing is inaccessible. It is just the way we will learn, and because it was not easy for me to learn to speak English, I will always be at your level. We will reach the next level together; team spirit as teacher/student will bring us to your success. French is just a beautiful and precise language. I am so glad you are having the desire to understand and to speak French. Behind the language, you will discover a beautiful country with a lot of history, great food and so much gorgeous scenery.
I work as a Regulatory Affairs professional, but I also do tutoring. I am a French native, and French is my primary language. I attended all my classes in French from kindergarten to high school. All subjects were taught by French teachers, and all study materials were in French. In addition to being fluent in speaking and understanding French, I am also very proficient in French grammar, French literature, and writing. As a Regulatory Affairs professional, some of my duties involve translating documents from French to English and vice versa. My tutoring experience started as far back as high school. I was just helping a friend who was failing physics. To my surprise, she learned it so well that she ended up passing the course with a B. I was happy for her and proud of myself. Needless to say, I became a peer tutor when I started college. I obtained a certification for tutoring from Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU) where I majored in Chemistry and Biology. I graduated with honors (3.5/4.0) with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology. I also obtained a minor in French Language and Literature (4.0/4.0). 1990-1994 - I worked at ENMU as a Tutor for French, Biology, Chemistry, and Algebra. I was also a French Teacherâs Assistant and French Substitute Teacher. I tutored all level of French courses as well as grading homework and exams. As substitute teacher, I also taught all French courses as needed. 1994-1995 - I was a Night School Teacher at Wayne Community College for returning high school students. I taught science to students ranging from 18 to 50 years of age. 2001-2002 - I worked for StudySmart as a Tutor for the following subjects: SAT/PSAT Prep, Biology, Chemistry and French. I received great reviews from the students and their parents about my tutoring style and approach. My students found my teaching style "fun." I was also told that I was not "rigid" as the other tutors they worked with and that my personality (I am a people person, very lively and full of energy) made them feel comfortable working with me. In 2002, I went back to school and obtained a Master of Science degree from Mass College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences with a 3.7/4.0, and in 2009, I graduated from nursing school. In my spare time, I write French poetry. I plan to publish them in the very near future. I am a dynamic, enthusiastic individual who is also a people person. My years of experience, my teaching style and my personality the fact that French make me suitable to be a Tutor for any organization.
I am a full professor of Spanish and French, with 34+ years in the university classroom. --I ONLY WORK WITH INTERMEDIATE OR ADVANCED LEVELS OF SPEAKING AND WRITING (no beginners). -- PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR BEGINNING LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION. --I PREFER INDIVIDUALS ENROLLED IN UNIVERSITY OR LANGUAGE COURSES.

MY RATES REFLECT MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. FEWER SESSIONS THAN ONCE A WEEK WILL NOT PRODUCE RESULTS. IDEALLY THEY SHOULD RUN FOR TWO HOURS IN ORDER TO PROGRESS. LANGUAGE IS NOT LEARNED BY OSMOSIS!

Theodore D. Goldfarb Collection
An environmental chemist, Ted Goldfarb was a founder of the Science for the People chapter at SUNY Stony Brook and an organizer of the group's second trip to the People's Republic of China in June 1978. The twelve delegates from SftP went with the intention of studying the organization of science and technology in China with respect to how it met people's needs, and they were toured through a succession of factories, production facilities, farms, schools, and institutes in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Changsha, and Beijing, among other locations.
The nearly 400 slides in this collection were taken by Ted Goldfarb (and handful by his colleague Judith Weinstein) when they were members of the second Science for the People delegation to the People's Republic of China in June 1978. Reflecting their interests in science and technology, the slides document a succession of factories, production facilities, schools, and institutes they visited, but include shots of typical street scenes, markets, artisans and factory workers, and tourist sites such as the Great Wall, Ming Tombs, and Forbidden City. In addition to the images of China, a handful were taken during a stopover in Delhi and Agra, India, on the way back to the United States.

THE opening of the Robert Treat Hotel was one of the grandest moments in Newark history. It was 1916 -- the 250th anniversary of Newark's founding by Robert Treat, who in 1666 had led a band of Puritans out of New England to settle on the green banks of the winding Passaic River. Now this brawny, thriving capital of industry and finance had just passed a quarter-million population. It was feeling good about itself, and it decided to give itself a party.
Three boatloads of costumed dignitaries re-enacted the Puritans' landing. President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson were there; they were among the first guests at the Robert Treat. As for the hotel itself, a local paper called it ''the last word in hotel construction.'' There were immense windows, clusters of electric lights on crystal fixtures, marble wainscoting, heavy rich rugs.
You know the rest. By the time Newark turned 300 in the late 1960's, there was little left to celebrate. Though the Robert Treat managed to stay in business through the long and paralyzing municipal decline that stretched into the 90's, remodeling and time had erased its splendor.
So when the hotel's owner, Miles Berger, opened a high-end restaurant last April in a tunnel-like space that used to hold a coffee shop and bar, it was a moment as freighted with significance, in its way, as the hotel's debut 84 years earlier.
Here was an owner casting a multimillion-dollar vote of confidence in the fledgling revival begun by the three-year-old New Jersey Performing Arts Center, just across the street. Twenty-five-dollar entrees in Newark? Would anyone show up? More important, would anyone come back?Continue reading the main story
Now the restaurant, Maize, is settling in for its first full season. The early returns are in, and they are most encouraging.
Stephanie Voulgaris, whom Mr. Berger selected as owner of the restaurant, had a middlebrow background, running the food and beverage services at the Holiday Inn and Howard Johnson's at Newark Airport. But she shared his vision of a first-class restaurant, and assembled a first-class team.
I'm not a great fan of Maize's interior, which seems overdesigned and self-consciously opulent, with plush earth-toned carpets and wall hangings, and banks of lights that suggest Art Deco lanterns. But the restaurant is welcoming, especially since the staff is almost aggressively determined to win you over. In particular, Craig Callus, the young wine steward, is smitten with each of his well-chosen bottles, and will happily describe them at great length.
Ms. Voulgaris promises that growing pains have passed, and a prix fixe preconcert menu to be inaugurated this month should help diners make their curtains across the street. Still, if you have tickets, it would be prudent to make reservations no later than 5:30.
And there's a more important reason not to rush: the food and wine are worth savoring. Pat Kotsonis, the chef, is just 29, but his deep resume includes Le Bernardin and Bouley in Manhattan, and he runs his kitchen with talent and authority.
We figured we were in good hands with the arrival of the giveaway appetizer, sensuously moist cornbread laced with jalapeno peppers and black bean sauce, and a basket of first-rate Portuguese bread from Teixeira's Bakery in the Ironbound. The appetizer menu incorporates a confusing array of ''first stops,'' ''second stops'' and ''sides and tapas.'' Whatever philosophy underlies these labels, most are winners.
The only disappointments were maize sticks -- oily egg-roll-like wrappers enclosing corn-and-bean salad -- and a one-dimensional lentil soup. Mushroom soup was wonderfully dense and dark, and it gained crunch from truffled risotto cakes. Sweet-potato fries were thin, chewy and delicately flavored.
Fried oysters, at $13.95 the most expensive appetizer, were cooked in a savory cornmeal crust and returned to the shell, where they waded in a sauce fragrant with white wine, sake, lemongrass and cilantro. A huge bowl of she-crab soup was redolent of fennel, sherry and Madeira, though so rich with cream that my appetite failed midway through.
Main courses are ample and elegant. My favorite was an underdog, humble breast of chicken in a wickedly crunchy coating of pistachios, on a winy bed of carrots, parsnips and celery root. Fish are beautifully and confidently presented here. We particularly enjoyed a halibut ''napoleon,'' with layers of shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, artichokes, corn and tomatoes, and grouper on an artichoke-spinach puree, topped with a tangle of fried leeks.
Sirloin is billed as ''14-day aged,'' and its mild but distinct beef flavor mingles comfortably with sauteed spinach, blue cheese and caramelized onions. A special of filet mignon, on the other hand, simply didn't work: it was sliced and layered with potatoes, napoleon-style, and the whole production was tough and dry.
The versatile Mr. Kotsonis makes his own desserts, and he's good at it. Cornbread pudding may have found its way onto the menu only because the restaurant is called Maize, but it deserves a long life on its own: a dense slab of comfort food, sweet but not too sweet, enlivened by cinnamon and five-spice powder. Even more intriguing is the fruit soup, fresh berries and orange slices in a syrup infused with a spice rack of exotic and elusive flavors.
Not everything at Maize works brilliantly. The noise level can be a bit high, as can the prices; the early troubles with timing are disquieting.
Still, it's hard to be anything but awestruck by what Mr. Berger & Company have brought off here. A high-end restaurant in Newark? That's right, and one that -- like the arts behemoth across the street -- is succeeding beyond all expectations.

So, after a long wait thanks to inexplicable Amazon silliness, I finally got my hands on FOREVER, the final installment of Maggie Stiefvater's Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy.
I've got to say, Maggie Stiefvater is truly fantastic at plotting out a series. With LINGER, my fears of second-book-syndrome being the inevitable follow up to SHIVER's gorgeous conclusion were smashed. And of course she continues from LINGER's cliffhanger to the perfect conclusion in FOREVER. It was exactly the kind of ending I like best - all the important things have been taken care of, but not wrapped up so neatly that it seems fake in all its shiny tidiness. It was bittersweet (beware page 374), but satisfying.
My one major complaint from LINGER was Cole St. Clair, and I liked him so much more in FOREVER. I'm not sure if I just came to terms with him or if it was that he was less of a jerk, but I was much happier to read the chapters in his pov.
Also: Grace and Sam are beyond adorable and I love them to bits. TO BITS I TELL YOU.
It's a very spoil-able book, so I don't want to say too much. But trust me, if you haven't read this yet, absolutely do. I'm sad to say goodbye to Mercy Falls, but this is exactly the way such an excellent series should end. Brava, Maggie Stiefvater, brava. I can't wait for THE SCORPIO RACES!

Matt Randisi writes, "Lara Croft has had quite a bit of gossip surrounding her ever since the first trailer for her big reboot was revealed; most notably concerning if a Tomb Raider game in this day and age be able to succeed in a genre ruled by the high king himself, Nathan Drake. Problem? People seem to be judging this based on how different Crystal Dynamic's iteration will be from Naughty Dog's kingpin. Solution? Don't! I've said it before and I'll say it again, molds don't have to be broken for a great game to emerge from the proverbial ashes; especially when it's a reboot of a franchise that has spent quite a bit of time in ashes. After spending some time with the game I can say with confidence that Tomb Raider is in actuality strikingly similar to an Uncharted title in several ways; this however is not necessarily a bad thing."
Instead of comparing both games try to enjoy both for what they are , that's what im gonna do
I would rather they stuck to doing their own thing than completely ripping off uncharted.
I played the Tomb Raider demo and it was practically just a re-skin.
Very disappointing.
I like the UC series and the TR series. I am sure I will like this TR even if it is alot like UC. They seem to be making Lara more human I thought she was allways a kind of a cold character.
uncharted clone.
And to the lara fangirls plz shush....play the originals TB till underworld or legend then play uncharted,now that u did that see this new tomb raider and see uncharted....clearly if someone copy another thats crytsal dynamics end of story.
this game looks more uncharted than uncharted did (if it ever did)with the old TB games.

As they have grown up, baby boomers have retained the moviegoing habit. Consequently, the median age for moviegoers has risen to just under 28 years.
``Once there was a tremendous drop-off in movie attendance after the age of 30,`` says Art Murphy, film journalist and director of the Peter Stark Program at the University of Southern California`s cinema school. ``Now the drop comes at age 40, because the baby boomers are in their 30s.``
But has the aging of this audience affected the movies being made?
Studio executives are divided on the subject. ``I don`t think it has had one iota of effect,`` says Larry Mark, executive vice president of production at 20th Century-Fox.
However, Rob Friedman, vice president of worldwide production at Warner Bros., insists: ``We are trying to broaden the spectrum. As good business people, we want to reach beyond (our core youth audience).``
Friedman points to The Killing Fields, Lost in America, Ladyhawke and the upcoming Pale Rider as movies that appeal to adults and youngsters.
``You can`t have a hit picture -- a big hit picture -- by appealing just to teens or just to adults,`` says William Soady, president of distribution at MCA/Universal. ``It has to go across all age groups.``
Orion`s Amadeus is an adult film that, for all its awards, has not managed to cross over and appeal to youngsters. ``But it will still gross $50 million in North America, which by any standards is pretty good,`` says Mike Medavoy, executive vice president of Orion Pictures Corp.
The young are still Hollywood`s bread-and-butter audience. In the Motion Picture Association of America`s 1984 survey, the 12-to-24 age group accounted for 48.9 percent of all movie admissions. All film companies that are serious about solvency must appeal to this core audience.

With the Mac being the go-to choice for many web developers and readers of this blog, I wanted to mention a gorgeous application for making sure no billable hour goes undocumented – TrackRecord. Sure, there are tons of applications for freelancers to track their time spent on different programs (RescueTime), time spent working (Billings/OnTheJob), but none of these apps offer the ability to sync your time recorded to the popular web app Basecamp.
TrackRecord does just that, and today we'll be taking a closer look at what it has to offer users of 37signals' Basecamp web application. Read on to find out more!

Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII:Early Church Fathers Index Previous Next
Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XVII
Chapter XVII.—Reasons Why Their Deceits are Not Detected.
"For why do they oracularly foretell cures after a long time? And why, if they are almighty, do they not effect cures without administering any medicine? And for what reason do they prescribe remedies to some of those who pray to them, while to some, and it may be more suitable cases, they give no response? Thus, whenever a cure is going to take place spontaneously, they promise, in order that they may get the credit of the cure; and others, having been sick, and having prayed, and having recovered spontaneously, attributed the cure to those whom they had invoked, and make offerings to them. Those, however, who, after praying, have failed, are not able to offer their sacrifices. But if the relatives of the dead, or any of their children, inquired into the losses, you would find the failures to be more than the successes. But no one who has been taken in by them is willing to exhibit an accusation against them, through shame or fear; but, on the other hand, they conceal the crimes which they believe them to be guilty of.

Areas of Interest
Our goal is to understand cortical network dynamics and to become a key contributor to the fields of network neuroscience and brain stimulation. We combine electrophysiology, computational modeling, and engineering principles to investigate how cortical networks generate physiological and pathological activity states and how perturbations can be used to modulate these states. We aim for a rapid translation of our research into the clinical domain for treatment of patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders. We strive to make our laboratory a productive, collaborative, and happy workplace.
We currently work in the two following areas:
(1) Network oscillations, cortical states, and sensory processing.
Oscillations represent fundamental activity states both in physiological and pathological conditions in cortex. We study how cortex generates these activity states and how sensory input modulates cortical oscillations in the awake and anesthetized animal. We combine multichannel electrophysiological recordings with advanced data processing methods and computational modeling to unravel the dynamic landscape of cortical activity states.
(2) Non-invasive brain stimulation.
We develop novel brain stimulation paradigms to enhance and modulate the oscillation structure of cortical network activity. We use computer simulations and in vitro recordings to prototype stimulation paradigms that we then subsequently test in animals and humans.

We present our latest results on the generation of ultrashort vacuum UV (VUV) pulses by nonresonant four-wave mixing of chirped broadband pulses generated by filamentation of the fundamental of a Ti:sapphire laser with relatively narrowband pulses at the third harmonic. Positive chirp at the broadband idler yields negatively chirped VUV pulses necessary to compensate for material dispersion of a window in the VUV beam path. Pulse energies exceeding are available for time-resolved experiments. Pulse duration is measured by pump–probe ionization of Xe gas, providing the cross correlation between the fifth harmonic and the fundamental.

DG35EC + Q9550 Problem with CPU Fan and Temperaturealwintom Mar 10, 2012 2:33 AM
I have been using a DG35EC+Q9550 for over 3 years. From the first day itself, I noticed that the CPU is running aa bit hot. But I contacted intel suport and they said if no alarms are triggered, it is going to be OK. So I have been using the system without worrying.
But recently, while playing some games, the PC auto-poweroff a few times (1 or 2 times a day). At first I thought it was some game bug. But a few weeks ago, I tried to see if thats the case. I used several monitoring programs (HWInfo, SpeedFAN, HWMonitor..) to monitor temperature and fan speeds.
To my great discomfort, I noticed that my cores are running at 65-75C at idle (ie in Windwos desktop w/o additonal apps). When gaming (Assassins Creed Revelations), it reaches 99C and even reaches 100C. Then I looked at the fan speeds, but fan is still running at a mere 1048 RPM even though the temperature was at 80-99C!
So I thought maybe the the HSF(Stock cooler that comes with Q9550) is not in contatc with CPU. So I removed it, cleaned and put it back again with some fresh thermal paste (Coolermastre Thermal Fusion 400). This changed things slightly at idle. Idle temps now dropped to 60-70C. But no change when the CPU is stressed. What worries me most is that the fan is not running at 100%. I tried to see if I can manually set the fan to run at 100%, but found no way.
However, yesterday, HWMonitor reported that fan is running at 2800 RPM (but temp was below 60C) and stayed at that until I shutdown. But after that I turned on the PC but the Fan never exeeded 1400 after that (eventhough CPU temp reached well above 90C)
So I thought may be the temp sensor is wrong. So I removed the Cabin covrer and touched on the HSF Heat Sink and it nearly burned my hand. The Heat Sink was extremely hot. So the sensors must be telling the truth.
Now can you tell me where the problem to lie most likely - The HSF, Mothreboard? BTW, I have the latest BIOS and Chipset drivers.
I have an Asus GTX 570 DirecCu and two HDDS. At idle all of them satys well below 45 and at full load the Asus Card reaches 70-79 .
I do not undrestand this. If the CPU was really taht hot, why didn't the system auto-shutdown.. and how was I able to use the system for ll these 3 yaers without actually burning anything.?
Can anyone here help me identify the problem. I am willing the replace the faulty component, but hI do not know where the fault is.
Please help.

Jerome LOL on Remixing the Internet and the Ageless Beauty of Web 1.0
He's been hailed as the leader of the new wave of seapunk.
I first met up with Jerome at his manager's house in the true-to-life ridiculous neighborhood of Beverly Hills. Late and frazzled from LA's lovely freeways, I rushed in to introduce myself and start the interview. Thankfully, Jerome is easy and laid-back, and he dove right in to explain how the web is being relentlessly, and endlessly, remixed.
You might want to play off Jerome LOL, née Jerome Potter, as a 21st century club kid with a penchant for Tumblr, but that would be too simple. He's been hailed as the leader of the new wave of seapunk, and when Rihanna went seapunk on Saturday Night Live, it was Jerome's work that she was accused of ripping off.
But for a guy who has been covered by some of the top music press–for his music, aesthetic, and others' use of the two–Jerome is a humble dude. When we chatted for this new episode of My Life Online, he focused more on his newly-solidified addiction to the internet and blooming love for the Web 1.0 revival than on his own success. But that's not to say Jerome isn't doing well; his Soundcloud is blowing up and, as you'll see, his AOL Instant Messenger jacket game is on point.

As Windows XP races toward the end of its lifecycle, it spells the end for a few neglected Microsoft products that saw their last gasp for air when Vista landed globally in 2007. Microsoft NetMeeting is one of them, a conferencing application that was – in my experience – years before its time.
As a youngster growing up in a remote part of Britain with a weak 56K dial-up connection, a Windows PC and friends scattered all over the country (and eventually world), apps like MSN Messenger 5 Cool Tips & Tricks in Windows Live MSN Messenger 5 Cool Tips & Tricks in Windows Live MSN Messenger Read More , Roger Wilco and Microsoft NetMeeting occupied too much of my time. I can't provide a definitive answer as to why repurposing business tools like NetMeeting was so much fun, but I can reflect on it in an age that will never know the joys of direct dialling an IP address.
I'm tipping my hat to you, Microsoft NetMeeting, and I don't even wear a hat.
Online Conferencing In The 90's
In the 1990's, much of the world was still connecting to the Internet and browsing the World Wide Web The Internet & The World Wide Web Are Not the Same Thing [MakeUseOf Explains] The Internet & The World Wide Web Are Not the Same Thing [MakeUseOf Explains] The two terms "Internet" and "World Wide Web" have been used interchangeably ever since the Internet itself became a household "utility" as common as electricity or cable TV. People talk about "surfing the web" and... Read More using dial-up Internet connections. If you're genuinely too young to remember such a connection then it can be summed up as being roughly five times slower than the speed you get when your ISP throttles you (256kbps) with all the joys of random disconnects, periods of complete inactivity and "Dad, did you pick up the phone?".
At this time, Microsoft dominated the instant messaging space with its MSN Messenger IM service, later known as MSN Messenger Service and Windows Live Messenger amongst others. It was as simple as you like, with group chats considered innovative (and chaotic) in a time when IRC The Top 7 Best Free IRC Clients for Windows 7 The Top 7 Best Free IRC Clients for Windows 7 For most of us, chatrooms might seem like a relic of the past, but they're still around. If you're interested in that sort of thing, you'll want to look into the IRC protocol. For those... Read More was king of the "chatroom" sphere.
Instant messaging was something altogether different though, and at the time quite a primitive one too. Changing font, text colour, sticking in some primitive emoticons and sending a picture or two was the order of the day – this was before voice chat, webcams and collaboration were commonplace.
That's exactly where NetMeeting came in. If you were a bored teenager whose free time consisted of dodging homework, playing games like Counter-Strike and messing around on Messenger, NetMeeting offered immeasurably more fun than basic IM. I must add here, that this is not just an article about personal experience and the tools offered by NetMeeting were also quite attractive to those who used the Internet for serious business too.
The business sphere had always been a place of innovation when it came to conferencing solutions, with phone conferences being popular well into the early (and in some instances late) 2000's. NetMeeting on Windows 95, which was bundled with later versions of Internet Explorer 3, introduced a large percentage of people to voice and video communication with people from every corner of the world.
Business & Pleasure
For me, the first time I used NetMeeting was when the software already felt dated. By this I mean it was never particularly attractive to look at (unlike say the latest version of MSN Messenger or a customised version of the legendary mIRC) and was a good example of function over form. There was no centralised server for users to connect to, no username or login required and instead the conferencing took place via the direct dialling of an IP address or using a public Internet Locator Server (ILS) which acted as a directory.
For those of us that didn't use an ILS, this posed a problem – knowing the other party's IP address in an age of dial-up where IP addresses changed each and every time you connected to the Internet. This meant you actually already needed to be in communication with the host before you connected, and for this MSN Messenger was mandatory.
Ideally though, NetMeeting would have been a pre-arranged affair and for business users an ILS took much of the pain out of it. If you were in a swanky office, you probably had a leased line, ISDN, early DSL or cable connection with a static IP address What Is a Static IP Address, How Do I Get One & Its Advantages/Disadvantages What Is a Static IP Address, How Do I Get One & Its Advantages/Disadvantages In home networks, IP addresses aren't usually fixed, but they do fall within specific ranges. A static IP address doesn't change. What are the advantages to this, and why would you want one? Read More which would have helped considerably.
The five pillars of awesome contained within NetMeeting were:
- Text chat that was as basic as it could get, making Messenger look advanced for the time but not without its uses.
- Voice chat with optional video, something early versions of MSN Messenger did not include. Video would appear in a small window beneath the address bar, the quality was terrible and freezing was a common occurrence but it was still impressive at the time.
- Whiteboard mode which provided endless hours of fun to bored teenagers, and offered business users a virtual whiteboard onto which images could be pasted, lines could be drawn and text could be added. Hilarity ensued, impromptu games of Pictionary occurred and strategies were formulated (probably).
- Application and desktop sharing with remote access, something that is now big business was completely free and available at a time when Windows was merely a shell for DOS. Perfect for… sharing your desktop, I guess.
- File transfers, though from memory this did not work particularly well and Messenger soon added the functionality which was exploited on a massive scale and used to spread worms with incredible success.
None of these things are impressive any more. All are taken for granted, all work pretty much flawlessly via their respective protocols and some are money makers for companies like LogMeIn, Skype and Zynga (Draw Something, anyone?).
Hasta La Vista, Baby!
Windows XP was the last version of Windows to be initially compatible with NetMeeting, accessible by typing "conf" into the Start menu's Run dialogue box. This was not surprising, as towards the end of Windows XP's time as Microsoft's flagship operating system, bigger, better and fancier versions of Messenger began to lean on and eventually surpass NetMeeting in terms of functionality. Chatting via text, transferring files and multi-user conversations were just easier when a centralised server handled user availability.
When Vista landed without NetMeeting, Microsoft had to release a hotfix and provide a download link to the software as there were still a lot of individuals who relied on it. Windows 7's "XP Mode" restores NetMeeting compatibility but there's so many better options available now. Microsoft released a slew of replacements including Windows Meeting Space and Office Live Meeting but other protocols began taking over.
The boom in the popularity of Skype, which included voice and text chat as well as the ability to call phone numbers for next to nothing as well as file transfers challenged MSN Messenger to the throne and the noun Skype soon began to be used as a verb (which shows no signs of abating – when was the last time you "Skyped" someone?). Slowly but surely the software of yore was replaced with newer, and better software as more developers began developing excellent alternatives like TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, Google Talk and eventually Facebook's chat protocol.
These days we've got WhatsApp messenger WhatsApp - The Perfect iPhone Messenger App WhatsApp - The Perfect iPhone Messenger App Read More and Twitter for short messages on the go, Apple's proprietary iMessage protocol closing the gap between desktop and mobile messaging and Google+ Hangouts enabling screen sharing and video chat with nothing but a web browser. The days of NetMeeting and such software are over.
Goodnight, Sweet Prince
And so I bring this article to a close with a genuine pang of sadness for those early years of Internet tomfoolery, PCI cards, loud dial-up modems and erratic web standards. If you miss the old MSN alerts as much as I do and are now so used to remote desktops, screen sharing and multi-user webcam chats that it bores you then do add your own nuggets of nostalgia in the comments below.
Thanks Microsoft NetMeeting, you and your cohorts will always have a special place in my heart.

Yes, i don't how Microsoft managed to make a 56k work for video/audio chat in that time. I was in Cuba and managed to videoconference several times with my family from Spain. On a 48kbps connection! Truly an amazing piece of software for it's time.
I saw this as a grade schooler, even played with it for a while. I remembered to be thoroughly amazed by the experience but it was the last time any adult lets me use it (I discovered it by accident when someone didn't close the session properly) as they said it's grown-ups'.
It's not until I entered Junior High I actually learnt the program's name. By the time it was pretty much fading from use, then there's rise of Skype...
Rest in Peace, NetMeeting.
REally nice.didnt know of this
I never thought I'd see myself admitting a debt of gratitude to a Microsoft product, but NetMeeting played a short but key role in my life...
In 2001, my fiancée and I couldn't be together very much, as for a time we were living in two different places that were not easy to travel between. I was still using 56K dial-up Internet at that time, but we worked out that we could use NetMeeting, not just to see and speak to each other, but also to cut down on phone charges (which would really have racked up over time).
Put simply, NetMeeting did a lot to keep us "together" through those months when we couldn't often be in the same place. If it had all happened a decade later, we would've used Skype, SIP, FaceTime, etc., but NetMeeting was what we had back then, and it did the job very well. (My then-fiancée and I got married not long afterwards - we now have a daughter and celebrated our tenth anniversary earlier this year.)
You'll rarely catch me expressing gratitude for a product from Redmond, but NetMeeting: we owe you one. Have a well-deserved retirement...
Nice story! And you called your daughter "NetMeeting", right? Just kidding! Don't be mad at me, please! Nice story!
Márcio Guerra
Brings back some memories... farewell Netmeeting!!! :)
Friend of old days.
"good" old days!
I remember the dialup handshake tone! Also setting this up in my school.. Brilliant it was! Sigh... good ol days...
Never used... mIRC yes, not this one... And mIRC was over1 5 years ago... We're getting old, mates... ;)
well I believe in open source computing and today open source os (linux) n softwares are used in such an extent that I feel in near future all os or softwares will go open source.. There'll be minimum of paid softwares..
I remember using this at work; for setting up new account and having techs do software updates and troubleshooting.

Report to 'Spy School' at the National Library of Scotland
Event: 'Scotland's Secret War' is the National Library of Scotland's major summer exhibition for 2005. To complement the exhibition a series of events has been organised, including two free 'Spy School' events designed for families of all ages.
Event organiser Laura Murphy says: 'Spy School participants can practise the skills needed to be a Special Operations Agent - from sending and breaking coded messages, playing games to improve the memory, and designing their own wartime propaganda. A Spy Trail will uncover the highlights of the exhibition and British "spy" Elma Parkington will be on hand to offer training to would-be undercover agents.'
Date: Saturday 23 July and Saturday 6
Time: 2-4pm, drop-in event
Venue: Exhibition Hall, National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EW
Cost: Free
Contact: 0131 623 3845, email@example.com
Additional information
The exhibition commemorates the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and explores Scotland's involvement in the 'hidden' stories of the war and the Scots whose inventiveness and courage helped change the course of the conflict.
Discover the story of secret technologies, propaganda, escape and espionage through government files, personal archives and official publications — many of them released on public display for the first time in 60 years.
The exhibition focuses on broad themes of Escape and Evasion; Propaganda; Science, Innovation and Invention; Defence; Maps and Cartographers, and features an Enigma Machine.
Key themes include:
- Donald Caskie, 'The Tartan Pimpernel'. Caskie worked with the French Resistance at Marseilles helping around 2,000 soldiers to escape via 'the underground railway'.
- Peter Ritchie Calder, a socialist author and journalist from Forfar, was appointed as Director of Plans and Campaigns to the top secret Political Warfare Executive, the Government's newly formed foreign propaganda unit.
- Robert Watson-Watt proposed a system of RDF (Radio Detection Finding), which became known as radar. This proved vital to the wartime defence of Britain, including successfully detecting the first Luftwaffe attack on the British mainland.
- Enigma machine
- Interactive areas including an operations table.
- Mapping the war — the Bartholomew firm, world famous map publishers based in Edinburgh, made secret contributions to the war effort.
- The Home Guard — the secret flight of Rudolph Hess to Scotland is notable in the story of the Scottish Home Guard.
- The National Library of Scotland at War — the safekeeping of manuscripts and rare books during the Second World War forms an intriguing episode in the history of the Library and its collections.

This year's Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning, great news for anyone who loves things that are like the Oscars without actually being the Oscars. And as it happens, this year's slate of nominations is awfully kind to the veterans of various early-'90s Lollapalooza tours. Miki Berenyi of Lush, there's hope for you yet!
First up, there's Trent Reznor, who took home a Globe for scoring The Social Network last year. This year, he moves one step closer to Danny Elfman mainstay status, as he and his confederate Atticus Ross are nominated for their The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo score. Meanwhile, Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell is up for Best Original Song against big guns like Elton John and Madonna, thanks to "The Keeper," his song for the movie Machine Gun Preacher.
Check out the full list of nominations at Videogum.

BBC reaches agreement with Olympics on overseas ban
The BBC has reached an agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over the international streaming of some of its radio shows.
The Today Programme on Radio Four was unavailable to listeners outside the UK on Friday, as it was broadcast from inside the Olympic park.
Overseas listeners can normally tune in live on the internet or on iPlayer.
The IOC, which holds international broadcast rights from Olympic venues, will now allow access to some shows.
Restrictions had been placed on Chris Evans' Breakfast Show as it is being broadcast from the Olympic park in east London for the duration of the games.
However, following discussions between the BBC and the IOC, it has been agreed that there is no need to block international streams of certain shows, including Radio Two's popular breakfast programme.
Radio Four programmes with a wide news agenda will also be free to broadcast to international listeners.
All programmes on Radio Five Live - except the news programme Up All Night - will remain available only in the UK as they will be devoted to the games.
Mark Friend, head of online services for BBC Audio and Music said : "Unfortunately there are some types of content where we are restricted from distributing overseas, usually because of sports rights.
"The impact of this will be very noticeable throughout the Olympic games because the BBC has the rights to broadcast from Olympic venues only to the UK."
In some cases, when only sections of shows are broadcast from an Olympics site, the BBC said it may be possible to block the Olympics segment and make the rest of the programme available to international audiences.
However, programmes featuring substantial amounts of Olympics content will be blocked, as there are not sufficient resources to edit them.
When an entire programme or a shorter segment is unavailable to overseas listeners, they will hear a message informing them of the rights restrictions in place.

|The Pastor
According to a report by PM Express, the deliverance turned into calamity as the two children of Nwoke died in the same day and Ndukwu disappeared and ran to Portharcourt in River State where he was eventually arrested and brought to Lagos.
He was arraigned before Isolo Magistrates court where he is facing charges of obtaining under false pretence, stealing and threat to life of the victim and was remanded in prison custody. P.M.EXPRESS gathered that Ndukwu prophesied to Nwoke that there was a family curse that was hindering the progress of his family members and there was need for the family to carry out deliverance to upturn the hindrance.
He assured him after the spiritual deliverance, all the things the family members lost in the past because of the curses will be regained and directed him to bring the money for the work.
It was gathered that Nwoke sold all he had and gave to Ndukwu and he performed some spiritual deliverance which eventually led to the death of Nwoke's children. Nwoke asked to know why things turned out like that instead of getting better, the Ndukwu said he did not know what happened. He then requested the refund of his money and Ndukwu threatened to wipe out his family if he dare asked for the money.
The matter was reported to the Police and Undukwu fled before he was arrested and charged to court for the alleged offence. He pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Mr Oje Uagbale did not object to his bail and asked court to give bail condition that will enable the defendant to come to court for trial and the defendant no longer live in Lagos State. The presiding Magistrate, Mr O.N. Ogbe granted him bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Ndukwu was remanded in prison pending when he will perfect his bail condition. The matter was adjourned till 26 June 2017. When P.M.EXPRESS contacted Ndukwu, he said he hails form Oboro in Ifakale town in Mbaitolu Local government Area in Imo State.
He said he started his Ministry some years ago and have church branches in Phortharcourt in River State, Enugu and Nnewi in Enugu and Anambra States before he was arrested.


text: Gunny was away on a business trip one week and decided that he was far enough away from home that he was willing to get a little crazy and visit a prostitute. The hotel concierge told him where to go so off he went. At the appropriate street corner he saw a remarkabley beautiful woman and she approached his vehicle. Gunny said "I've never done this before and all I have is $100, what can I get for that?" The prostitute says, well normally nothing, but since you're a newbie, I'll give you a handjob for $100." "$100 bucks for a handjob?" Gunny exclaims? "Is it really worth that much?" The prostitute says "You see that pimped out escalade parked over there, I paid for that out of hand-job money alone." Gunny says "ok," and pays the $100. Turns out its the most satisfying sexual experience of Gunny's life and he's immediately smitten. So Gunny arranges another trip to the same city as soon as he can, several weeks later, and returns to find her again. He figures if the hand-job was so good, a blow-job would be out of this world. She says, "well, that will cost you $500." Gunny says "WHAT!, $500 for a blow-job, is it really that good?" The prostitute says, "you see this block of apartment complexes? I own those and I paid for it all with blow-job money alone." So Gunny agrees and again he is not disappointed. It was everything he imagined and then some. Gunny decided to extend his trip and go back to see her the next day. He decided that if the hand-job and blow-job were so good, actual intercourse must be total nirvana. Gunny say's to the prostitute, "how much for full blown intercourse?" And the prostitute replies, "you see that skyline and all those high-rise buildings? Well, if I had a pussy I'd own all that!"

What is a FHA Loan?
A FHA credit is a home loan advance that is supported by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Borrowers are required to pay a home loan protection premium, which diminishes the moneylender's hazard if a borrower defaults.
These days, FHA credits are exceptionally mainstream, particularly with first-time home purchasers in light of the fact that the prerequisites are less strict than standard mortgages. Borrowers can fit the bill for a FHA advance with an up front installment as meager as 3.5% and a FICO assessment of 580 or higher. The borrower's FICO rating can be between 500 – 579 if a 10% initial installment is made. It's essential to recall however, that the lower the financial assessment, the higher the intrigue borrowers will get.
The FHA program was made in light of the rash of abandonments and defaults that occurred in 1930s; to furnish contract moneylenders with satisfactory protection; and to help invigorate the lodging market by making advances open and reasonable for individuals with not as much as stellar credit or a wretched installment. Basically, the government guarantees advances for FHA-affirmed banks keeping in mind the end goal to lessen their danger of misfortune if a borrower defaults on their home loan installments.
FHA Loan Requirements
For borrowers keen on purchasing a home with a FHA credit with the down and out installment measure of 3.5%, candidates must have a base FICO score of 580 to qualify. In any case, having a financial assessment that is lower than 580 doesn't really avoid you from FHA advance qualification. You simply need a base up front installment of 10%.
The FICO rating and up front installment sums are only two of the necessities of FHA credits. Here's a total rundown of FHA advance necessities, which are set by the Federal Housing Authority:
- Borrowers must have a solid job history or worked for a similar business for as far back as two years.
- Borrowers must have a legitimate Social Security number, legal residency in the U.S. what's more, be of legitimate age to sign a home loan in your state.
- Borrowers must pay a base up front installment of 3.5 percent. The cash can be skilled by a relative.
- New FHA credits are accessible for main living place inhabitance.
- Borrowers must have a property evaluation from a FHA-endorsed appraiser.
Borrowers' front-end proportion (contract installment in addition to HOA expenses, property charges, contract protection, mortgage holders protection) should be under 31 percent of their gross wage, normally. You might have the capacity to get endorsed with as high a rate as 40 percent. Your loan specialist will be required to give legitimization with respect to why they trust the home loan exhibits a satisfactory hazard. The bank must incorporate any remunerating variables utilized for advance endorsement.
Borrowers' back-end proportion (contract in addition to all your month to month obligation, i.e., charge card installment, auto installment, understudy advances, and so on.) should be under 43 percent of their gross wage, commonly. You might have the capacity to get affirmed with as high a rate as 50 percent. Your bank will be required to give defense concerning why they trust the home loan shows a worthy hazard. The bank must incorporate any remunerating variables utilized for advance endorsement.
Borrowers must have a base FICO assessment of 580 for most extreme financing with a base up front installment of 3.5 percent.
Borrowers must have a base financial assessment of 500-579 for greatest LTV of 90 percent with a base initial installment of 10 percent. FHA-qualified loan specialists will utilize a case-by-case premise to decide a candidates' credit value.
Commonly borrowers must be two years out of insolvency and have re-built up great credit. Special cases can be made on the off chance that you are out of liquidation for over one year if there were uncontrollable issues at hand outside your ability to control that brought on the chapter 11 and you've dealt with your cash in a dependable way.
Normally borrowers must be three years out of dispossession and have re-set up great credit. Exemptions can be made if there were uncontrollable issues at hand and you've enhanced your credit. On the off chance that you were not able offer your home since you needed to move to another territory, this does not qualify as an exemption to the three-year abandonment rule.
The property must meet certain base gauges at evaluation. On the off chance that the home you are acquiring does not meet these models and a merchant won't consent to the required repairs, your exclusive choice is to pay for the required repairs at shutting (to be held retained until the repairs are finished).

Kashmir separatists say India's decision to call off talks 'unfortunate'
Kashmiri separatists on Monday slammed the government's decision to call off foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan, saying it indicated the NDA was not serious about resolving the Kashmir issue.india Updated: Aug 19, 2014 13:16 IST
Kashmiri separatists on Monday slammed the government's decision to call off foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan, saying it indicated the NDA was not serious about resolving the Kashmir issue.
India called off the talks scheduled for August 25 after the Pakistani high commissioner met separatist leader Shabbir Shah in the first of a series of meetings planned over three days. New Delhi said Islamabad's decision to hold talks with Kashmiri separatists was an "unacceptable" interference in India's internal affairs.
"This is an indicator that (Prime Minister) Modi, backed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, is not interested to resolve the Kashmir issue or any issue with Pakistan," said Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chief Yasin Malik, adding that the government's decision was unfortunate.
Hardline Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Geelani said it was a routine exercise by Pakistan to hold deliberations with the Kashmiri leadership. "The hue and cry of Indian politicians over the invitation by the Pakistan envoy was unwanted and politically immature," he said, adding that such meetings were also held during the previous UPA regime.
"If India is sincere about making relations better with Pakistan then she has to address the demands of the Kashmiri people," said Geelani. "Otherwise all these parleys are meaningless."
Moderate Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq hit out at the Congress for opposing the talks.
"The Congress hue and cry over the meeting of Kashmir leadership with the high commissioner of Pakistan in New Delhi once again proved it was never serious about finding a solution to the Kashmir issue," he said.
He added a meaningful dialogue process should remain the priority for the establishment of a violence-free South Asia.
"The leadership of Hurriyat since its formation has participated in talks with the leadership of both India and Pakistan (including the Congress) from time-to-time with the sole purpose of finding a mutually acceptable and honourable solution of the Kashmir issue," said Mirwaiz, who was scheduled to meet the Pakistan high commissioner in Delhi on August 19.
In Delhi, the Congress, which had questioned the move, said the government needed to explain why it decided to have talks with Pakistan in the first place. "The Modi government has no policy on Pakistan," said party spokesman Manish Tewari.
His colleague, Amarinder Sing,h said the Modi government had not done its homework before proceeding with talks with Pakistan.

Nation's First Accessible Tall Ship Launched
By Dave Reynolds, Inclusion Daily Express
August 8, 2003
ADDISON, MAINE--A crowd of about 200 was on hand Monday to watch the launching of the RawFaith, touted as the only tall ship in the United States that is accessible to wheelchairs.
George McKay and his oldest son, Aaron McKay, designed the ship four years ago. Their inspiration came from George's 23-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, who has used a wheelchair for the last 14 years.
The 88-foot ship is designed in the style of a 14th to 16th century English Galleon. The 80-ton vessel will be powered by wind once the masts and sails are in place. At this point only the hull is completed.
When the ship is sea-worthy, the McKays plan to head up voyages with a full-time professional crew and captain. Through their non-profit organization, Accessible Sailing Adventures, the McKay family will host sailing experiences for children with disabilities and their families.

Kebaktian Kebangunan Rohani 2011
Tarikh : 13hb-18hb Julai 2011
Tempat : Gedung Haleluyah, Gunung Murud - Sarawak
International Revival Meeting 2011
Date : 13th - 18th July 2011
Venue : Gedung Haleluyah, Mount Murud - Sarawak
Friday, July 30, 2010
What Happened At Bethel Church?
Just walking through the simple fence surrounding the church and standing at the doorstep, I could sensed something in the air. A familiar pleasant feeling that I always feel whenever I stepped foot into Haleluyah Church at Mount Murud. It is the sense of heaviness, power and many other things that I could not explained.
Seeing the sight before me, I was merely not ready for what happened next. I took my camera and began to work my way taking the best angle shot as many as possible.
And next, without warning - the heaviness of the presence that I have felt earlier began to burst - Just like a flowing water, gushing fiercely through me as I watched the simple act of washing each others feet in a sheer humbleness.
Capturing those moment, tender face, and tender act of the leaders and elderly intercessors washing those feet through my lenses, enough to envision Jesus when He, the Son of the King of Kings did that symbolic act thousand years ago.
And I wept.
I dare not to think if I were in those disciple's shoes those days. The tender face of Jesus, sitting at my feet washing my feet. The feelings I had was - unexplainable. One thing for sure, I know that I was unworthy, but His grace was more than enough for me.
And what follows next, I sensed the pure joy and warm presence of the Holy Spirit, gushing through us and around us in the room like wind. It was a beautiful, beautiful feeling - when you were embraced in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
And that night, I had a dream.
I saw myself after taking a shower, and that in my hand I was holding a scrub/brush. Next, I saw this Johnson Baby Shower Cream next to me and I was washing my feet using the brush/scrub and the baby shower cream! What a pure delight!
And later, I saw myself walking down the street and as I stopped at one shop, in my hand I saw myself holding a pair of baby shoes which was made of a very fine quality, expensive price and very beautiful.
And I woke up.
This is one of the most profound moment (again) that I experienced whenever I attended such meeting. Be it at Mount Murud, be it at Ba Kelalan, God always moves in different way and many times - Unexpected and Unexplainable.
And that makes it beautiful and always, brings me from one level to another level of intimacy with Him.
I am blessed.
- Sandra M. Tagal
God Encounter
This is the very first time in my life that I ever had such deep encounter with God, the feeling is just almost face to face. I really feel the revival of God's fire in my heart, and looking forward to participate in the coming meeting at Mt Murud.
Dr Ng Ruey Terng
Kuala Lumpur
With grace of God Almighty, He finally granted me to arrive in His chosen Holy Land. A place which I believe takes the role of Jerusalem, an alternative where upon every believer can come to have a personal relationship with God.
I couldn't begin with any word better than "Thank you" for the warm friendly and generous love, care and family like hospitality that pour again and again each day during my stay (4days). Special thanks go to the family of Bapa Taga l and the people who directly or indirectly make this annual event possible. 'Syabas' keep up the good work.
I believe our Christian journey has been so blessed and gifted. Indeed God is generous and patient; we continue to have strong faith and courage. It is our duty to go out to preach His good news to the rest of the world regardless of using any method or ways to reach out. More people should have the privilege to come experience God's presence in Ba Kelalan. Halleluyah !
For the footnote: more English worship songs is a plus.
Overall : Job well done
Appreciation : Big thanks to organizing committee, volunteers and helps.

Perjalananan dari Miri ke Lawas dan Lawas ke Ba Kelalan adalah satu perjalanan yang begitu jauh an harus mengharungi keadaan jalan yang bagitu mencabar terutama di kawasan yang menuju ke Buduk Nur. Namun oleh kerana kerinduan dan kepercayaan pada Hadirat Allah ada di Buduk Nur maka semua itu tidak mematahkan semangat untuk sampai ke KKR 2010.
Sesungguhnya kesukaran yang kami tempuh di jalan bermakna apa-apapun kerana sebaik saja masuk ke gereja pada malam pertama KKR, sudah terasa hadirat Allah. Saya melihat Yesus sedang duduk di takthaNya, dengan makhota di kepalaNya. TakhtaNya betul-betul di atas pentas gereja, lantas hati saya mengatakan "Allah ada di sini".
Sepanjang kebaktian yang diadakan, sungguh saya diberkati dan yang paling indah sekali ialah persekutuan doa di gereja Bethel. Hadirat Allah sungguh nyata sekali terasa di situ. Ada penglihatan, ada firman Tuhan disampaikan melalui bahasa Roh, sungguh indah sekali.
Kalau diceritakan satu persatu berkat, pengalaman pekerjaan Roh Kudus, ucapan Allah, aliran sungai dari Allah dan lawatan Tuhan saat pujian dan penyembahan dan firman Tuhan disampaikan memang begitu banyak. Hanya satu perkara yang saya dapat katakana mengenai kesemua keajaiban itu ialah, "Tak rugi saya dating ke KKR ini, walau harus menempuhi kesukaran di jalanraya dan perjalanan yang jauh namun semua terpadam oleh berkat, rahmat, sukacita serta urapan Allah yang dialami dalam KKR PDGM 2010. Halleluyah. Misi seterusnya ialah ke Gunung Murud untuk mendapatkan urapan baru dari Tuhan pada 2011. Halleluyah.
Saya yang amat diberkati Tuhan,

Testimony from 2010 Revival meeting
Praise God for another wonderful revival meeting. I am very blessed and touched by the Holy Spirit and the love of the Ba Kelalan people. I could not help but weep uncontrollably when I saw the elderly and senior respected Lun Bawang people washing the feet of the younger people from their community and thereafter to us from outside their community. I cried and cried when the Holy Spirit revealed to me that Christ was washing my feet through this Lun Bawang man.
Thank you so much for a great spiritual experience in the Lord.

Radon Testing - The Only Way to Know!

Radon is an odourless, colourless, and radioactive gas that's naturally present in our environment. Exposure to radon increases the risk of developing lung cancer. Level of risk depends on the amount of radon present, the length of time you are exposed, and whether or not you smoke - but the risk increases significantly if you are a smoker.
Radon gas can enter homes through any opening that contacts the soil, such as cracks in foundation walls. In the outdoor environment, radon disperses in the air. However, in an enclosed space such as a basement, radon levels can increase.
The only way to know if radon is present in your home - and if the level is above the Canadian guideline - is to test for it. Do-it-yourself kits can be purchased at a local hardware store from $30.00 and up, or you can contact a certified radon professional.
If the radon levels in your home are found to exceed guidelines, there are ways to fix the problem, depending on the characteristics of your home and what the radon levels present. A certified radon professional can also provide you with ways to reduce the radon level in your home.
Since the combination of smoking and radon exposure dramatically increases the chance of developing lung cancer - quitting smoking is another important way to reduce your risk.
Thinking about quitting, but not sure how? Need some help but don't know where to go? Visit Smokers' Helpline or our Thinking About Quitting page that offers a list of supports and resources to help you successfully quit smoking.

Mind you, Syd's role was on the ground (although the angels were meant to look as if they were flying), and Will's role was in the air, but nevertheless, they were both Nutcracker kids this year.
My Will lives so much in her own head that she sometimes finds it hard when she's required to be in her body; she's strong and flexible and smart, but she has to work harder than the other kids to find the body awareness that leads to grace in one's movements, and it's not something that she can yet reliably achieve. That's one of the many, many, many reasons why I was so proud to watch her practicing and rehearsing for this aerial silks show--a lot of kids who are good at some things will only do those things, and never be brave enough to stretch themselves in a new direction in which they risk failure, but not my Will. She wanted to perform in this show, and she worked her butt off to do it.
I thought that this show would be a direct contrast to Syd's Nutcracker run--everyone in town, practically, saw Syd dance onstage this year, but I figured that only the performers' families, and perhaps a few doting friends, would be in the theater to watch Will. And yet when we got there, so early that I'd thought about doing a little window shopping first just so we wouldn't be the only people sitting in the audience, we actually walked in to find the bleacher seats about 95% taken, and we had to squeeze ourselves in at the far end of a row. And people just kept coming, and coming, and coming! The performers brought out folding chairs and put them all around the stage, wherever they thought that people could sit and probably not get kicked in the head. More people sat on the floor:
I don't know what else was going on in Bloomington that night, but there can't have been more people anywhere than there were in this theater, watching this show.
And what a show it was! I don't know if you've ever seen much circus arts performed live before, but it's really something special to watch. There was everything--synchronized numbers, solo numbers, aerial silks, aerial hoop, and trapeze:
And this kid, of course, who was my own personal favorite performer:
She tells me that she wasn't nervous, but I don't know... look at that face:
Matt took videos of Will's performances (shaky, wonky videos, of course, as one does when one is holding the video camera and filming, but one's focus is rather on the actual show, as it should be), but I'm a rotten perfectionist, and I kind of didn't want to show them to you at first. I didn't want you to see Will's hesitations, her frowns of concentration, how she wants to always watch her partner to keep herself in time, the spots where she forgets her choreography, and think that she didn't do a good job.
But of course, who really cares about small things like that? You might see an imperfect performance, yeah, but you also see a really brave kid. A focused kid. A kid trying so hard that the concentration is clear on her face. A kid who hung out all day with her fellow performers and her teachers the day of the show, got her hair curled and her face glittered, and DIDN'T BRING A BOOK.
A kid who, in her first rehearsal several weeks before, wept silently but hard as she tried and failed and tried and failed to master a stunt that she was able to successfully pull off during this performance.
This is that awesome kid in her show:
It was a perfect performance.
