|Found another building.
It's some kind of warehouse located on Pier A in the LA Harbor.
You can see it on the artwork below (from the GTA Online poster)
I know it's an artwork but I'm pretty convinced that this building will be ingame.

Easter offers huge message for Christians
Published 7:00 pm, Friday, April 10, 2009
Christians across the world celebrate today the story of the empty tomb. This event forms the foundation of the Christian religion, and as a historical event has had a major impact on the social and political development of nations and powers.
Taken from the Bible's four gospels the following is the basic story of the empty tomb:
The next evening (following the crucifixion of Jesus), when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Salome and Mary the mother of James went out and purchased burial spices to put on Jesus' body. Very early on Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they came to the tomb. On the way they were discussing who would roll the stone away from the entrance to the tomb. But when they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone had already been rolled aside.
So they entered the tomb, and there on the right sat a young man clothed in a white robe. The women were startled, but the angel said, "Do not be so surprised. You are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified. He isn't here! He has been raised from the dead! Look, this is where they laid His body. Now go and give this message to His disciples, including Peter: Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see Him there, just as He told you before He died!" The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, saying nothing to anyone because they were too frightened to talk.
It was early on Sunday morning when Jesus rose from the dead, and the first person who saw Him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom He had cast out seven demons. She went and found the disciples, who were grieving and weeping. But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they didn't believe her.
Afterward He appeared to two who were walking from Jerusalem into the country, but they didn't recognize Him at first because He had changed His appearance. When they realized who He was, they rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them.
Still later He appeared to the 11 disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their unbelief and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
For the Christian, the hope of eternal life rests on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The empty tomb is the proof of Jesus' authority over death and the completion of his redemptive mission on earth.
We hope you will take time today to ponder the meaning of the empty tomb and we join with Midlanders across the city today for this Easter worship.

Hawks star Patrick Kane goes behind his back for astonishing spin-o-rama assist. Yes, you read that right.

Hawks star Patrick Kane goes behind his back for astonishing spin-o-rama assist. Yes, you read that right.
The Blackhawks fell 5-2 to Nashville in Game 5 of their first-round series Thursday, but if they're looking for a positive to take away, the obvious candidate is the play of star winger Patrick Kane – as evidenced by Kane's unbelievable spin-o-rama backhanded pass to Kris Versteeg for Chicago's second goal of the night.
The Chicago Blackhawks fell 5-2 to the Nashville Predators in Game 5 of their first-round series Thursday night, but if there's any solace to be taken for the Hawks, it's that star winger Patrick Kane is looking like himself again – as evidenced by an astonishing " target="_blank">spin-o-rama-style, backhanded assist on Kris Versteeg's goal late in the third period.
The Hawks were trailing the host Preds 4-1 with five minutes left in the third period when Kane took the puck deep in Nashville's zone, only to stop, spin and fire a backhanded pass to Versteeg, who slapped it past Predators goalie Pekka Rinne for his first goal of the 2015 post-season and Kane's fourth assist:
The Predators had a strong game, but Chicago still leads the series 3-2 and they're heading home for Game 6 Saturday night in front of a screaming throng at the United Center. And if Kane – who returned to action at the start of the series after missing 21 games due to a broken clavicle – can come through with plays similar to his helper on Versteeg's goal the rest of the series, you've got to like the Blackhawks' odds of coming out on top.

Liverpool are unhappy with Chelsea boss Avram Grant's comments about captain Steven Gerrard over the weekend.
The Telegraph says Liverpool are unlikely to report Grant to the Premier League over the Chelsea coach's alleged attempt to tap up Steven Gerrard. But they are known to be irritated by Grant's remarks about their captain, including the phrase "if you can bring him to me, I will be happy", but are likely to rise above a controversy of Grant's making.

Here's a guest blog from Chronicle columnist Ann Killion, who was among of group of reporters that spoke to ESPN analyst and former 49ers quarterback Steve Young on the field before tonight's game:
Steve Young knows a little bit about the two big storylines going into tonight's game: quarterbacking and concussions. And he knows how much progress has been made when the two topics intersect as they have this week with both starters, Alex Smith and Jay Cutler, ruled out due to concussions.
"The truth is 15 years ago, neither of these quarterbacks would sit out," Young said on the field at Candlestick Park before the game. "Big games, people on the cusp of feeling better, you'd usually err on the side of playing. I'd be the first one to run out there."
Young often was the first one to run out there. A concussion on a Monday Night Football game in Arizona ended his career.
Young hadn't spoken to Smith but said that his ESPN Monday Night Football colleague Trent Dilfer did.
"He's not feeling great," Young said. "I think Alex had a lot to do with it (being inactive)."
Young said Colin Kaepernick has his work cut out against him against the Bears defense.
"You want the chance to incrementally attack the job," Young said. "But this is not the defense to attack. You have to be really precise. They will exacerbate any mistake."
Young doesn't think the fact that the Bears are playing backup Jason Campbell neutralizes the situation.
"Jason has so much more experience," Young said. "It's a whole different conversation with a guy with 70 starts."
Young's advice is for Kaepernick to rely more on his legs than his arms.
"Don't throw anything you're not sure of," Young said. "It's not the night to try anything. You cannot take this away from your teammates. You can't be the reason they don't have a chance to win. You can't be the reason they lose."

Screenwriter Max Landis made quite splash in Hollywood when Chronicle came out in February 2012. With that film's success, the writer has been given more than a few properties to gnaw his teeth into. And, apparently, one of those properties is now writing the upcoming Ghostbusters 3.
NikkiFinke.com started spreading more rumors today with this report. Landis is apparently working on the script with a three-week turnaround. With that timeline in mind, one source of Nikki's says that the screenwriter is "doing more of a 'polish' than a Page 1 rewrite." He says they won't be "huge changes."
Apparently, Landis got the job after Sony saw some of Victor Frankenstein, the latest film he wrote, from Fox and "loved it." After directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller (The Lego Movie, 22 Jump Street) apparently passed on working on the film after looking at the script, the people over at Sony are hoping to reshape the script before it can go into production. At the moment, it looks as though director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland), who has been rumored to direct the movie, is "not seriously in the mix at this point."
As far as the project stands right now, this is what the article says about the studio's position on the film: "Word is that the execs are mostly happy with it and believe that "all the parts are there, as in beats, structural mechanics, etc, but they're not all doing their jobs."
Of late, Nikki Finke's track record has been a bit stetch-y, to say the least. Her reports that Father of the Bride: Part III was in the works appears to be false, while her rumored list of upcoming DC/Warner Bros. projects was true. What side of truth this story stands will have to be determined in the near future.
In addition to Victor Frankenstein, Max, son of the famous filmmaker John Landis, also has writing credits for upcoming films like action-comedies American Ultra, set to be released next year, Good Time Gang and Mr. Right in various stages of development. Additionally, Landis also finished work on his directorial debut Me Him Her, which he also wrote, and will have it release into theaters either sometime this year or next.

The State of Automotive Service & Digital Retailing: Why Car Dealers Should Focus on the Service Drive in 2017
For years, there's been talk of the industry heading towards online car buying. At ActivEngage, we agree and endorse this presumption.
In fact, in 2012, ActivEngage pioneered technology to support General Motor's Digital Retailing Program with 100 dealers in 8 states. The unique program allowed our company to develop best practices with a major OEM and test the validity of online retailing. While our technology has been out for years, the financial performance of these pilot programs shows that a full online car buying process isn't what today's car buyers want. In general, the automotive industry tends to overestimate what is going to happen within a year and underestimates what will happen in five years.
While ActivEngage can currently provide a full digital retail experience for online car buyers, consumer trends and the data we've collected over the last five years piloting programs with OEMS and large dealer groups confirm low consumer adoption and an unsubstantial ROI for dealers. In fact, our numbers show there was a significant drop in ActivEngage chats that attempted the full retail experience. We found that forcing consumers down the online buying journey can actually hurt the sales process. A one size fits all approach to digital retailing cannot be applied as the industry needs to be flexible to consumer demands while also protecting the current working business model.
However, on our journey developing cutting-edge digital retailing programs alongside OEMs, we uncovered effective ways to converse with customers and get more evolved lead data for dealers. And, more importantly, we were able to pioneer additional technological breakthroughs that help dealers achieve immediate financial upside within fixed operations in today's market.
Shifting Gears: A Focus on Service
An even more pressing reason to turn the attention from online car buying to fixed operations is the numbers. US auto sales in March came in below market expectations and gave early evidence that America's boom in car sales is losing steam. As car sales flatten out over the next 24 months, customer retention and promoting the service drive will play a critical part in the financial success of dealerships.
On average, OEM's state that if a customer performs service at your dealership, they are five times more likely to purchase a car from you. Additionally, in 2016, nearly 300,000 ActivEngage chat conversations were related to fixed operations; that's over 800 service-related chats per day.
Without a doubt, the service department is the backbone of your dealership. That's why ActivEngage has pioneered technology and integrated with some of the industry's top service-scheduling platforms to offer real-time service scheduling in our managed chat solution. Our technology sends appointments straight into the DMS to create a more efficient and effective way for dealers to increase repair order revenue. Through our ability to drive online shoppers into dealerships, we've found that the service lane is the best way to quickly boost dealership profits and also generate new car sale opportunities.
Bottom line? Most shoppers just aren't ready to buy cars online in today's market. And with little consumer demand, dealers and digital retailing companies such as Carvana are struggling to match the performance of a traditional dealership. In the next 5 to 10 years, we expect consumer interest to change and adoption rates to increase to the point where the technology is warranted and valuable for every dealer. We look forward to promoting our technology when market conditions are ripe enough for dealers to receive its intended ROI.
We believe your dealership should prepare for the digitization of car buying, but not at the expense of what can make your dealership profitable today. While consumers want to use technology to get answers and set appointments online, they're still comfortable coming to the dealership to complete the buying process. Start Increasing revenue today by engaging online shoppers early in the sales process and moving them into the showroom and into the service lane.
Make your dealership thrive today, as we continue to monitor how consumers will transact in other ways tomorrow.

Is the manufacturer of a defective product negligiable if that defect results in injury or death, and had not been recalled?
- print Print
- list Cite
A manufacturer of a product that proves defective, and which causes harm to consumers, is definitely legally liable, even if a recall has been issued. Whether negligience can be proven, however, is a more complicated matter.
There are legal distinctions between negligience and liability, and liability is generally easier to prove, but negligience in a case such as that involving a defective fan that melts and injures consumers could certainly qualify under negligience guidelines. Liability is a relatively easy standard to meet, because it simply entails demonstrating that the product in question failed. Negligience, on the other hand, requires demonstration of manufacturing processes that did not meet acceptable standards. As one online legal dictionary describes it:
"A manufacturer can be held liable for negligience if lack of reasonable care in the production, design, or assembly of the manufacturer's product caused harm. For example, a manufacturing company might be found negligient if its employees did not perform their work properly or if management sanctioned improper procedures and an unsafe product was made."
Proving that a manufacturer was negligient in the production of a consumer item is not easy, as the standards of proof are high. When hundreds of electric fans overheat and melt, causing injury to consumers, however, it is almost certain that improper manufacturing processes were involved, and that management of the company in question sanctioned those processes. In the end, only the findings produced during a civil trial can provide the answers in the case in question. That trial would likely include experts in the manufacturing of electronic appliances, including materials engineers who can speak to the physical properties of the plastics involved in the manufacture of the fans, as well as electricians who can testify as to the process used in wiring the fans. With hundreds of injured consumers, however, a finding of negligience, hypothetically-speaking, is certainly possible.


text: Although redolent of Watchmen and Blade Runner, this futuristic thriller set in a US governed by the Christian far right has its own mordant energy. Felix Strange is a damaged and defiantly atheistic veteran of America's war - sorry, great patriotic crusade - against Iran, obliged to work as a private detective to pay for the black-market drugs he needs. When he's approached by a branch of state security, the Revivalists, to find the killer of a radio evangelist, he's immediately suspicious: the crime scene looks like a setup. So why has he really been hired? The First Stone is a knockout debut with the confidence to establish its world gradually, through details mentioned in passing. (Houston, as Hall tells us almost as an aside, has been destroyed by a nuclear bomb.) Strange's sardonic wit makes him the perfect guide to this troublingly familiar landscape.

In January, the company introduced Skype for Android phones, and Skype Lite currently works on Windows Mobile and Java devices.
Is mobile VoIP really worth it though? Liane Cassavoy of PC World would say it isn't, and adds:
"Most notably, the call quality remains iffy at best, and in some instances it's absolutely abominable. Also, depending on your calling habits, you may not see any savings at all. Most services still charge a per-minute rate, so you'll save on domestic calls only if you've exceeded your regular voice plan's allotment (in which case you might still be better off upgrading your voice plan)." She does note however, that for international callers, the savings are tremendous.

Seven months old
Holland Lop Rabbit
Omaha, Nebraska, USA
'm Corky and I came on a plane all the way from Washington to my new home in Nebraska. It was kind of scary, but my new owner, Mallory, takes good care of me and spoils me! I live in Mallory's bunny barn. It has industrial fans to keep me cool and lots of windows so I get lots of fresh air. Mallory keeps the barn closed at night to protect me from scary things like possums. I live with lots of other bunnies so I have to make myself stand out from the rest. If I feel left out, I spill my food to let Mallory know that I want attention. I like lots of attention! I am extremely sweet and I love to cuddle with Mallory. I especially like it when she cradles me like a baby. I also like to sit in my show pose and show myself off. Everyone says what a pretty rabbit I am and what a sweet face I have!
Aside from being Mallory's adored pet, I'm also one of her show bunnies. I love going to 4-H and youth shows! Some bunnies don't like shows, but I love being handled and am always nice to my judges. I especially like beating the older bunnies and bringing home trophies and ribbons. I even have a 4-H best in show, which is a big accomplishment at such a young age!
I am a chestnut-colored bunny, which is a rare color for a Holland Lop. Most are the tort (brownish) color. This combined with my love to show myself off makes me popular at the shows. Despite my talent, I really enjoying just cuddling with Mallory and posing for her pictures!

If fixing San Francisco's beleaguered Housing Authority was a race, both Mayor Ed Lee and the Board of Supervisors would still be lacing up their running shoes and stretching their calves. While proclaiming, of course, that the race was very, very important and they look forward to running it. Really soon.
Two months ago, The Chronicle ran a series of stories detailing three employee lawsuits against the agency's director, Henry Alvarez, along with allegations from a host of other employees dating back to May about his intimidation and bullying. Tenants have long complained that their maintenance concerns go unanswered, saying toilets stay clogged for weeks at a time and heating and elevators are often on the fritz. A recent investigation by federal inspectors rated the agency a 54 out of 100, making it one of just two Housing Authorities in California on the "troubled" list.
It is up to the mayor to hire and fire department heads through appointed commissions. Lee suggested the Housing Commission hire an external investigator to review the authority, but he has made no move so far to remove Alvarez or place him on leave.
But the supervisors can use hearings and the bully pulpit to pressure the mayor into action.
On Dec. 3, Supervisor David Campos took the only concrete action of any of the 11 members of the Board of Supervisors by calling for an audit of the agency by the board's legislative analyst, Harvey Rose. Rose said at the time the audit would likely take four months. Well, the clock on those four months hasn't yet begun ticking – the board's government audit and oversight committee will discuss for the first time whether the full board should approve authorizing that audit at its meeting on Thursday.
Campos said the motion should come to the full board later this month or in early February. Asked whether the board is taking swift enough action, Campos said, "I think you have to ask other colleagues about that. We all have different ways of doing things, you know."
We asked several of his colleagues, per Campos' direction. Supervisor Scott Wiener, never one to shy away from controversial legislation, said he wants to wait to see the results of former City Attorney Louise Renne's separate investigation into the allegations against Alvarez "before I jump to conclusions."
Supervisor John Avalos, a longtime advocate of the poor, said it's clear the Housing Authority "is on a downward slide," but doesn't think it's his place to take the lead since he has very little public housing in his district. "I'll leave it to my colleagues who have major developments in their district," he said.
Supervisor Malia Cohen, who has the most public housing in her district which includes Bayview-Hunters Point, didn't return a recent call but said in December, "The Henry that's being described … is not the Henry that I know – that's all I have to say."
Board President David Chiu said, "Clearly there have been serious issues raised around the leadership of the Housing Authority. There ought to be a public discussion about this."
It's hard to imagine the previous board, which included firebrands Aaron Peskin and Chris Daly, taking so little action if it appeared the mayor was dragging his feet on dealing with a problematic department head. More likely, hearings would have been demanded immediately.
"The tenants of public housing and the people of San Francisco would be better off if the board served as more of a check-and-balance to the mayor, but that doesn't seem to be happening as much these days," Peskin said.
Wiener conceded, "The boards do have different personalities, and this board is very thoughtful."
That's one word for it.

Donate to help victims of typhoon Ketsan (Ondoy) in the Philippines - Some suggestions

The Government of Myanmar, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the United Nations have released the first comprehensive report covering the impact of Cyclone Nargis on the people in the Ayeyarwady Delta and Yangon. Among the highlights:
I had the chance today to attend a speech by ASEAN's (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Secretary General, Dr. Surin Pitsuwan, right after he had met with the Bank's President Bob Zoellick. He told us they discussed ways to increase the cooperation between the two organizations, but the most interesting and pressing aspect of it all is that they talked about specific ways in which the Bank will be helping out the victims of Cyclone Nargis through ASEAN.
The U.N. announced it was suspending relief supplies to Myanmar on Friday after the Government seized the food and aid material that had been flown into the country. Find reports from the New York Times, BBC News, and updates at ReliefWeb.
As advanced in an earlier post, here's a short list to the webpages for online donations of international NGOs that have a large presence in the country and so are likely to be most effective under the difficult circumstances:
The New York Times reports that some aid has begun flowing into Myanmar, but it looks like the mobilization for major relief operations is still underway and not clearly defined.

Effect of Japanese Apricot(Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) Flesh on Baking Properties of White Breads
Hong, Kyung-Hyun ; Park, Shin-In ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 506~514
The effects of Japanese apricot(Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) flesh on baking properties of white breads were investigated by evaluation of specific loaf volume, pH, acidity, rheological property, color and sensory quality. Bread was processed by adding 4.7%, 9.4%, 14.1% and 18.8% of Japanese apricot flesh to basic formulation. The compositions of Japanese apricot flesh were 88.19% moisture, 0.45% crude ash, 4.10% dietary fiber, 4.04% citric acid and 0.41% total sugars. The specific loaf volume of the breads was decreased from 3.274mL/g to 1.857mL/g as Japanese apricot flesh contents increased from 0% to 18.8%. The pH of the breads decreased but the acidity of those increased as the percentage of Japanese apricot flesh to wheat flour increased. Lightness(L value) of the breads decreased by the addition of Japanese apricot flesh, while yellowness(b value) and redness(a value) increased. Texture measurement showed that springiness, cohesiveness and resilience decreased with increase of Japanese apricot flesh contents. While, hardness, gumminess and chewiness were the lowest in the bread with 9.4% Japanese apricot flesh, and increased in the bread with 4.7%, 14.1% and 18.8% Japanese apricot flesh contents. In sensory evaluation, the highest sensory scores for flavor, taste, aftertaste and overall acceptability were obtained when Japanese apricot flesh content was 4.7%, and softness and chewiness was the best when 9.4% of Japanese apricot flesh was added. The moisture content of the breads containing Japanese apricot flesh was higher than that of the control to add no flesh during storage at
. Based on physical, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of
Japanese apricot flesh suggested to be acceptable for processing bread.
The Relationship between the Eating Habits of Elementary School Students and Parenting Behavior Characteristics
Nam, Sang-Myoung ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 515~526
The object of this study was to investigate the relationship between the eating habits of high(4th, 5th, 6th) grade elementary school students and parental behavior characteristics(affection, rational guidance, overprotect and neglect). The parenting behavior scale and demographic variables, eating habits and food frequency were administered to the subjects. In this investigation, the subjects were 396 boys and 337 girls in Chunju city in Korea, 50.1% of the mothers was in the age from 35 to 39 years and 57.8% of the mother had an occupation. Data were analyzed by using a SPSS PS package. Significant differences and correlation among variables were determined by the frequency,
and pearson's correlation coefficient. Eating habits was significantly influenced by mother's employment status, but was not affected by the levels of mother's education and income. Parental behavior characteristics was significantly related to the children's snacks habits(p<0.05, p<0.01), but have no connection with dietary habits and the eating out. The survey revealed higher percentage of the children who had taken affectionate, reasonable and positively reinforced child care, answered they enjoy meals and the other groups answered they did not. Also frequency of having soup, green vegetables, fruits, dairy products had positive relationship with affective, reasonable rearing attitude, but negative relationship with neglective rearing attitude. And the survey showed children who were reared in overprotect had chocolate, candy and the like in large quantities.
Quality Characteristics of Wet Noodle with Maesil(Prunus mume) Juice
Lee, Hyun-Ae ; Nam, Eun-Sook ; Park, Shin-In ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 527~535
This study was conducted to investigate the properties of wet noodle when different concentrations of Prunus mume juice were added to the wheat flour. The characteristics of wet noodle including cooking properties, color, mechanical texture properties, and sensory quality were determined. The compositions of Prunus mume were 88.19% moisture, 0.45% crude ash, 4.04% citric acid and 0.41% total sugars. The pH of Prunus mume was 2.76. The moisture absorption rate, weight, volume and turbidity of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were lower than reference sample. When the amount of Prunus mume juice increased, the Hunter L(brightness) value, a(redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b(yellowness) value increased. Instrumental rheological characteristics of wet noodle containing Prunus mume juice were measured with a texture analyzer. The hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of wet noodle with 20% Prunus mume juice were higher than others. However, the hardness of cooked noodle decreased with the increase in the amount of Prunus mume juice into noodle. The adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were higher than reference sample. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing Prunus mume juice indicated that the appearance, color, taste and chewiness of the cooked noodle with 10% Prunus mume juice showed the higher preference than others. Based on cooking properties, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of 10% Prunus mume juice suggested to be acceptable for processing wet noodle.
A Study on the Food Culture of the Festival for Elderly Person's
Birthday (Hoegap) and Marriage Anniversary (Hoehon) Appearing in the 18th Century Painting of the Chosun Period

Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 536~543
The Chosun Dynasty in the
century was a period of revival for science, art, and culture, bringing about Silhak(practical science), a new trend in the history of Chosun thoughts. In the history of fine arts, realistic landscape paintings and genre paintings were popular as realism became prevalent. From the aspect of food culture, in particular, the luxurious and elegant Korean-styled food culture was completed during this period. Iwanwasuseoksihoedo was painted by Jeong Hwang (1735-1800) in 1789, depicting a banquet on an elder's
birthday. It is classified as a genre painting in the late Chosun Period but it contains things that comes into our heart, which are white porcelain with blue celadon pictures, white porcelain bowls, busy atmosphere of a banqueting house where food is being carried in a hurry and elders' serene appearance. All these things show the abundance of life, the room and comfort of old ages, and the beauty and relish of life in the well-arranged living ground. Hoehonyedo was painted on an elder's
marriage anniversary by an unknown artist presumably in the
century is a painting as realistic as a documentary photograph. The work gives viewers pleasure and comfort because it describes not a mighty clan but the superb later years of an official who had lived right and upright life. In the aspect of food culture, it displays the food culture of the splendid sixtieth marriage anniversary of a Korean official through noble etiquette among family members, seat planning, unique table culture and high quality tableware including white porcelain with celadon pictures and pure white porcelain.

Shin, Mee-Kyung ; Lee, Sang-Bok ; Han, Sung-Hee ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 544~550
This study was designed to investigate the effects of Korean 1% Shanshuyu extract in Pb administered rats. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighed 100 l0g were used for this experiment and divided into following 4 groups; Con(control group), Shan(1% Shanshuyu extract), Pb(1,000ppm alone lead administered group), Pb-Shan(1,000ppm alone lead administered group with 1% Shanshuyu extract group). Food intake weight and FER(Food efficiency ratio) were remarkably decreased in lead added group. Tissue weight of liver, lung, stomach, heart, kidney and spleen of lead exposed rats were reduced by 1% Shanshuyu extract group. The lead content in the rats tissue of lead alone administered group was lower than in the rats tissue of lead administered group with 1% Shanshuyu extract group. AST(Asparatate transferase) and ALT(Alanine transferase) were increased in lead-administered group and lower in the 1% Shanshuyu extract group. These results suggested that 1% Shanshuyu extract may have some protective effects from of tissue demage induce with Lead.

Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 551~561
To determine the conditions of the fermentation and storage for Chonggak kimchi in kimchi refrigerator, prepared Chonggak kimchi took into kimchi refrigerators which were controlled at four different modes of the fermented temperature and time, and fermented and kept for 16 weeks. The pH in Chonggak kimchi fermented at
for 24 hours/stored at
dropped greater than all of kimchi fermented at other combinations, and the changes of pH at any combinations were not greater than those in Baechu kimchi, because pH in Chonggak kimchi did not dropped below 4.5. Acidities in Chonggak kimchi were greatly increased at higher temperature. The acidity in Chonggak kimchi during the first week of fermentation was lower than that in Baechu kimchi and then it was rather higher because of the addition of waxy rice paste. In texture, puncture force of Chonggak kimchi was decreased slowly until 8 weeks of fermentation and then did not changed much and the highest values showed in Chonggak kimchi stored directly at
without any fermentation. In sensory evaluation, the scores for the carbonated flavor and the sourness were the highest in Chonggak kimchi fermented at
for 24 hours/stored at
, but the lowest in Chonggak kimchi stored directly at
without any fermentation because of some undesirable flavors. The lowest hardness showed in Chonggak kimchi fermented at highest temperature and the best hardness was in Chonggak kimchi fermented at
for 3 days or 6 days/stored at
. The appearance was the best in Chonggak kimchi fermented at
for 24 hours/stored at
and the worst was in Chonggak kimchi stored directly at
without any fermentation. The overall acceptability of Chonggak kimchi fermented at
for 24 hours/stored at
was good after 4 weeks of fermentation, but in Chonggak kimchi fermented at
for 3 days or 6 days/stored at
it was good after 6 weeks. Total microbial counts in most of Chonggak kimchi were reached to a maximum number within 7 days, and then decreased similarly at all modes. Leuconostoc spp. and Lactobacillus spp. increased to maximum number of
, respectively, in Chonggak kimchi fermented for 7 days. Yeast counts showed a increasing trend not depends on fermenting temperature and they were lower counts than those in Baechu kimchi. Waxy rice paste which added to Chonggak kimchi resulted in increasement of glucose as a carbon source and stimulated to reproduce the microbes in Chonggak kimchi.

Nam, Sang-Min ; Lee, Hye-Ran ; Lee, Jong-Mee ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 562~568
This study was performed to study the removal efficiency of residual organophosphorus pesticides with process for making Perilla Jangachi. Two organophosphorus pesticides(chlorpyrifos-methyl and fenitrothion) were artificially attached to Perilla leaves. Then Perilla leaves were washed with detergent solution for 1minute and rinsed 2 times each for 1 minutes. After washing with neutral detergent solution, Perilla Jangachi was made with 2 steps of optimal condition. As a pretreatment, when soaked with 2% salt concentration solution for 42hours, the removal rate of residual pesticides was 81.75% of chlorpyrifos-methyl and 76.82% of fenitrothion. When Perilla leaves were steamed for 72 seconds after soaking, it became 88.94% and 82.19%, respectively. Finally, after making optimal Perilla Jangachi with 27% onion contents, removal rate was 89.12% of chlorpyrifos-methyl and 82.76% of fenitrothion. Consequently, it appeared that the process for making Perilla Jangachi effectively removed the residual pesticides of Perilla leaves.

Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 569~574
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of physical properties and antioxidant activities of the beer made by Lycii fructus for development of functional beer. Physical properties such as
, pH and hunter values were determined and compared with commercial beer. L(lightness) value was not significant difference among beer, although a(redness) and b(yellowness) values were higher in Lycii fructus beer than those of the commercial beer. Total phenolic acid contents were 0.790 mg/mL in Lycii fructus beer and 0.603 mg/mL in commercial beer. Electron donatin ability was 93% in Lycii fructus beer and 87% in commercial beer. Lycii fructus beer showed higher SOD-liked activities than in the commercial beer. The relative antioxidant effects of the Lycii fructus beer showed 19% inhibitory effect on the peroxidation of egg yolk lecithin.

Chung, Hae-Kyung ; Kang, Myung-Hwa ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 575~583
To evaluate the effect of cereal supplementation on children's iron nutritional status of Korean institutionalized was designed. Dietary survey was carried out methods of food weighting in the breakfast or/and dinner, and record interview in lunch (n=74). A nutritional intervention study was carried out through supplementing cereal for 4 weeks in 24 children of 1 institution from 4 to 12 years. The children received 3.6mg elemental Fe(as 100g cereal) per day. Blood samples were drawn before and after supplementation. Nutrients which children's intake was less than two-thirds of Korean RDA were Vit A, Vit B1, Vit B2, Ca and Fe. The mean daily intakes of iron were 5.1mg for male and 4.9mg for female and 52.3% for male and 45.4% for female of Korean RDA. The proportions of children with iron depletion assessed by TIBC(>360mg/dl) and serum ferritin(<20ng/ml) were 56.6% and 58.7%, respectively. The proportions of children with the iron deficient erythropoiesis assessed by serum iron(<70ml/dl), Hb(<12g/dl), and Hct(<36%) were 76.0%, 58.7%, and 64.0%, respectively. After cereal supplementation, in anemic children, levels of Hct(p<0.001), serum iron(p<0.001) and transferrin saturation(p<0.001) were significantly increased. The effect of cereal supplementation in children with iron deficient erythropoeisis was more effective to improve the iron nutritional status than children with iron depletion. It was concluded that cereal supplementation program in anemic children was also effective to improve iron nutritional status.

Lee, Hye-Ran ; Na, Seung-Min ; Lee, Jong-Mee ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 584~591
The objective of this study is to develope natural and economical Naengmyun broth using stock prepared with chicken heads. Proper mixing ratio of chicken head stock and chicken breast broth was determined through the sensory evaluation. In order to find out the attributes of chicken head-chicken breast broth(CH-CB broth), chicken breast broth and beef brisket(BB) broth were mixed to the chicken head stock and compared the preference and chemical elements between the broths were compared. The appropriate mixing ratio for reinforcing the meat broth and savory flavor, of was determined to 3:7(w:w). The comparison of CH-CB broth's and CH-BB broth's elements showed that the amount of crude protein and ash was the same and, in the case of crude lipid, CH-BB broth had 0.01% more than CH-CB broth. In the case of the total amount of free amino acids, CH-CB broth had 1.6 times more than CH-BB broth. A survey with 50 consumers showed that was prefered between CH-CB broth and CH-BB broth. CH-CB broth with significance.
Comparative Growth Performance and Physiological Function of Physically Modified Rice Starch and Gelatinized Rice Starch in Growing Rats
Chang, Moon-Jeong ; Kim, Myung-Hwan ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 592~600
Male rats were fed a purified diet containing one of 3 experimental diets, gelatinized rice starch that was not modified physically (RC), gelatinized physically modified rice starch using ultrasonic homogenizer(RU), gelatinized physically modified rice starch using hydroshear homogenizer(RH) during 28 days. RC was used as the rice starch control. Feeding a physically modified rice starch (RU) caused an increase in liver weight and RH increased RNA and protein contents in kidney significantly although there were no differences in food intakes compared to feeding a RC diet. The wet weight of liver, kidney and heart were higher in RU. The wet weights of fecal output of the rats fed RH was greater than in rice control group. The gut transit time was longer in the rats fed RH than in the rice control group significantly. Serum GOT, GPT, total bilirubin concentration were tended to be lower and blood urea nitrogen was significantly lower in RH group. The maturation index of kidney was higher in RU than in RC. These results suggest that physically modified rice starch improved growth performance and physiological functions in organs of growing rats.
A study of intakes of vegetables in Korea
Cho, Mi-Sook ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture, volume 18, issue 6, 2003, Pages 601~612
In Korean history, vegetables were the major side dishes of meals and originally korean diets were based on vegetables. But recently people prefer meat dishes rather than vegetables and traditional vegetable cooking seems to be disappeared. So it is needed to be positioning the importance of vegetables in food culture of Korean. In present study, history of vegetable eating was reviewed and recent consumption pattern were analyzed. 1. Since the era of the three Kingdom's and Koryo dynasty, the kinds of vegetables varied and at Chosun Dynasty people used similar kinds of vegetables as nowadays except a few things. A Garlic and mug wort had been used from the age of tribes to present and an egg, apple, cucumber, lettuce from the three Kingdom and a bamboo sprout, a taro, a burdock, a radish, a turnip, a stone-leek, a scallion, a Chinese cabbage, a marsh mallow, a spinach and a crown daisy from Koryo Dynasty and a pepper, a pumpkin, a tomato, a cabbage, a salary, a kale, a turnip and a beet from Chosun Dynasty to present. A guard, a water shield plant, a yam and wild plants would have been used before but they would not use any more. 2. Current vegetable consumptions of Korean is 232.2kg/person/yr and comparing with world mean consumption(101.9kg), Koreans still eat the largest amount of vegetables than any other countries and among Asian countries, Koreans consume more vegetables than China(203.5kg) and Japanese people(111.6kg) do. 3.The most frequently consumed vegetables were vegetables for seasonings such as a garlic or stone-leek and for kimchi such as a Chinese cabbage, radish, and carrot. But from data of Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey(2001), kinds of vegetables which people had were only 72 items showing that the kinds of vegetables were limited. 4. A lot of wild plants that would have been used for famine relief are now disappeared and on the other hand, it is increasing of some new and foreign vegetables and herbs. Cooking methods and intake pattern of vegetables are changed and varied so a traditional cooking method such as namuel is less preferred than before. But vegetable wrapping and green vegetable juice, eating uncooked vegetables(sang-sik) are very popular.

Sender: Christian explanation of the Scriptures to Israel From: Teus Benschop Subject: The Scriptures opened, 36 To: Multiple recipients of list CHR-EXP Contents ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Numbers 14:1,2, Israel's unbelief Isaiah 40, part 5, God, the Only God, incomparable Luke 18:9-14, The Pharisee and the publican Numbers 14:1,2, Israel's unbelief ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Weekly reading: Num 13:1-15:41 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! Here is the story of the coming of Israel at the borders of the promised land, of Canaan. They had sent out spies, to explore the land. Twelve spies went out. When they came back, ten of them were unbelievers. They brought an evil report of the land unto the people. Only two, namely Joshua and Caleb, believed in God's might and power. They said to the people that God surely would bring them in. But the ten brought an evil report. What was the result of that evil report? We read it in our text: "And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night." The people rather believed the bad report of ten unbelievers, than to believe the good report of two believers. The believers were a minority. That has always been so. Many people utter evil reports about God's promises, but only a few speak the truth, namely a right report. The people of Israel, of whom the majority was also unbeliever, rather believed the ten ungodly spies than the two godly: Joshua and Caleb. Here we see how a few people, only ten, can set afire a whole nation. The whole nation was polluted with unbelief, of which the ten bad spies were the causes. Let we learn of this not to listen to all, who bring forth an evil report of God's promises. The majority is doing so, but let we rather listen to the few righteous, to the people like Joshua and Caleb, to the true believers. After all the congregation had lifted up their voice, and after they had cried, and after they had wept that whole night, they went on. Now they began also to murmur against their leaders, as is written: "And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron". What is that unreasonable! Just as if Moses and Aaron were the cause of their unbelief! The people had better done, when they had been silent, and when they had put their trust in God. But no, they murmured against their leaders. Because God had set their leaders over them, their murmuring against the leaders was also murmuring against God Himself. They rebelled against God! God, Who had redeemed them out of Egypt. God, Who had done so many wonders for them! God, Who had fed them by heavenly bread in the desert. God, Who went before them in a cloud by day, and in a fiery pillar by night. God, Who had led them to this place. How unthankful! What did they say in their murmur? "And the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would God we had died in this wilderness!" We see where unbelief brings the people. Through their unbelief, they expect the death, when they would enter Canaan. They chose rather to have died in Egypt, or in the desert, than to be killed by the inhabitants of Canaan. We see how the unbelief leads to despair. They saw themselves placed before a task, which was too heavy for them. A task, which was impossible for them to carry out. Yes, no wonder, because without God, we are utterly unable to do any task. Through their unbelief, they did not know that God would help them, and that God would exterminate all their enemies. When we look around us, we see a world full of unbelief. They who, through unbelief, become despaired, sometimes make an end of their lives. They say with unbelieving Israel: It is better to die in this wilderness of life, then to go forth in our despair. How unhappy is mankind without the one true God. Darkness all around. Fear jumps on them. They are without God, without hope, without salvation. They are like Israel of old, but in a new form. What is people without God? When we, however, look somewhat better around us, we will descry the few believers. The great heap doesn't see them, like Israel didn't listen to Joshua and Caleb. Yet, the few believers are still in the world. Their voice is often overshouted by the unbelievers, yet, when you listen well, you can hear them. They call you up to believe God. They call you up to trust Him, however many your enemies may be. The new Joshuas and the new Calebs. They still blow on the trumpet of the Word. The world doesn't listen to them. The world says that there is no God, because of all the wars, catastrophes, etc. Reader, listen not to them. Listen to Joshua and to Caleb: "Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not." (Numbers 14:9) Isaiah 40, part 5, God, the Only God, incomparable ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Isaiah is pointing out the majesty of God, using several pictures to describe that. 17 All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. The prophet continues the raising of God's greatness and the abasing of mankind. He has done so until now. He said that the high mountains would be brought low, in verse four. There, he used the picture of mountains, but here, he explains his message further. The high mountains, that are the nations. All pride will be subdued. The nations before Him are as nothing. They are counted to Him less than nothing, and vanity. Maybe, the nations think that they are powerful. But in reality, they are less then nothing before the high Lord. They are vanity, that is, they are nothing, and passing. When whole nations are counted less then nothing, how much less are we then, an inhabitant of one vain nation! 18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? Nothing can be compared unto God. The prophet has showed that until now, but he continues therewith. He now begins to speak, in the following verses, about graven images. The Israelites made images, to "serve" God through them. How dull! How erroneous! God is incomparable, so each image is a severe dishonouring of God. 19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. The prophet portrays how an image is made. In the previous verse, he has asked wherewith God could be compared. In this verse, he speaks about the comparison, which many make. They compare God with a graven image. God is not made, for He is eternal. But an image must be made through a workman. A workman, of whom just is said, that he is less then nothing, vanity. To compare the unmade God with a man-made image is therefore a very bad comparison. God had an infinite amount of glory, but the glory of that image is nothing more than a thin layer of gold. So, a very bad comparison. The workman also casts silver chains to decorate the image. God however, needs no decoration, but He decorates all with His glory. Many decorate the Torah-scroll, but the Torah is holy enough in itself. All decoration, consisting of cloth or crowns, darken the real glory of the Torah, and of God. They peoples' eyes get stuck in the outward appearance, and they do not penetrate into the Torah itself. In this way, many have their graven image, which they lug through the synagogue sometimes. The workman makes the outward parts of the scroll and the holder, and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold, and casts silver chains. In this way, they darken God's Word. They spread a veil over the Word, in order that nobody can read it. (to be continued) Luke 18:9-14, The Pharisee and the publican ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the parable of the Pharisee and the publican, Jesus shows us the difference between the self-righteous, and the humbled people. 9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Jesus spoke this parable to some people, who trusted in themselves. They thought that they were righteous. They not only committed that sin, but added thereunto, that they despised others. Despising others is already a sin in itself, so I cannot understand why they thought to be righteous. Perhaps they were blind for their own sins. That is, by the way, the case with all people who think to be righteous in themselves. Being spiritual blind, they overlook their sins, and therefore become haughty, and begin to despise the others. Jesus, as a good Teacher, instructed them by a parable. He was also a good Physician, in applying this medicine of the parable. Maybe, they understood, and would be healed from their sickness. 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. In the parable, there were two men. A Pharisee, and a publican. Pharisees were honoured by the common people. The people thought them to be very righteous, and unfortunately, the Pharisees themselves thought the same. A publican, however, was despised by the people, and justly. Publicans worked together with the Romans, the occupiers of the land. Both went up into the temple to pray. But what a very different motives did they have. The Pharisee went to pray, that is, to boast in his supposed righteousness. The publican went to pray in humility, to ask forgiveness. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. The Pharisee thanked God that he was not as the other men. He was much better. Yes, he was even so good, that he despised the other men. "Lord, I am very good, and I thank Thee for that". He counted up all his external works, as abstaining from great sins, and paying tithes, etc. He counted up his works, but he left out the pride of his heart. How blind can self-love, and contempt of others make a man! This Pharisee still lives in our days. Not only one Pharisee, or a few, but great crowds. Nearly everybody thinks of himself, that he is not too bad. He helps the other people, he prays now and then to God, goes to church, goes to synagogue; so, what does God want more? I fast twice in the week. I go twice a Sunday to church. I go three times on Sabbath to the synagogue. I give tithes of all that I posses. I give not a little to the collections. I am not a public sinner; so God, I'm rather good. The present Pharisees thank God; yes, there is prayer and thank enough; but, they overlook the pride of their inward parts. They say: I am not an adulterer, like many others; but they forget that already the unclean look at a women is like adultery. They aren't extortioners, but yet, they severely claim their money. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. There was a world of difference between the self-righteous Pharisee, and the humbled publican. The Pharisee went close to the altars of the temple, but the publican stood afar off. He did not count himself worthy to enter so far into the temple. He knew that he was a great sinner, as he indeed was. The proud Pharisee lifted up his eyes unto heaven, but the publican dared not. He would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but looked to the ground in shame. He did not thank God for his righteousness, as the Pharisee did, but he smote upon his breast as a sign of self-contempt, and indignity before the Lord. He also prayed, like the Pharisee, but his prayer was very different. "God, be merciful to me, a sinner". He counted himself worthy of punishment, because of his great and many sins. Yet, he asked for mercy. Also in our days, when you listen here and there, you discover churches full of Pharisees. They always thank God. But the prayer of the publican, where do you hear it? But on a few places, they know and pray the publican's prayer: O God, be merciful to me, a sinner. The religious world is thanking God for their supposed righteousness, but the people of God are asking for mercy. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. It is sure that the publican went down to his house justified, in opposition to the Pharisee, who, according to his own words, did not need any justification. He was already righteous, so why did he need God's righteousness? The Pharisee was left under God's coming wrath, but the publican was redeemed. He, though a sinner, was justified by God. That is, his sins were forgiven him. The Pharisee was proud. He exalted himself. But according to Scripture, he who exalts himself shall be abased. "A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." (Proverbs 29:23) The publican was humbling himself, and he was therefore exalted. The publican declared himself to be a great sinner, and was acquitted by God. The proud and self-righteous in our days also will be abased, but the humble, who confess their sins, will receive forgiveness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Teus Benschop | firstname.lastname@example.com | editor of the list Chr-Exp "A Christian explanation of the Scriptures to Israel" More info?

CEDIA stands for Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. The show alternates between Indianapolis, Indiana, and Denver, Colorado. This year, it's Denver.
These days, custom installation is the thing, probably because home theater is the thing, and putting in a good home theater is not for the faint hearted. There are so many details to worry about, so much equipment, so many cables . . . it seems much easier to just let someone else deal with all of it. So, when it is done, you and your family can just sit back and enjoy the movies.
Slowly, over the last few years, the number of Secrets staff attending CES has diminished, while our attendance at CEDIA has increased. This year we have our largest team ever, to see and report on this show.
Photos will be uploaded as we get them taken, cropped, and labeled.
Also, note the new inclusion of High Definition Video Interviews, a first for any A/V publication.

All is quiet in our part of the country right now, but it's a different story well to our west – a major winter storm is brewing over parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
The developing low pressure system, indicated by the swirl in the water vapor satellite imagery over New Mexico, is producing mostly rain at the moment. However, as cold winds from the north sweep down the High Plains later today, most places will see rain mixing with and changing over to snow.
By Tuesday morning, upwards of a foot of snow is likely to accumulate from northeastern New Mexico into southwestern Kansas. Because strong winds will result in poor visibility associated with blowing and drifting snow, blizzard warnings have been hoisted for much of this region.
So how will this system affect Albany? Unfortunately for snow lovers, the forecast models signal mainly rain, not snow, for us. The system will weaken significantly as it moves out of the Plains and towards the Northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday, and may bring a brief period of sleet or freezing rain to the area on Wednesday before a changeover to all rain occurs. Light or moderate rain should continue into Wednesday night before possibly ending as some snow as the system exits the Northeast.

It might take longer than expected for Sacramento to build an arena for the NBA's Kings if the league allows the team to stay, according to a new report.
A California judge last week said he'll strike down part of a state law that fast-tracks major construction projects, such as an arena, if it is challenged "on environmental grounds," The Sacramento Bee reported Thursday.
However, most of the law would remain intact and it's unclear how much of of an effect the ruling could have on Sacramento's effort to keep the Kings from moving to Seattle.
Here's more from the Bee:
The ruling came as Sacramento officials are trying to persuade the NBA to block the team's proposed move to Seattle. NBA Commissioner David Stern, following presentations from Seattle and Sacramento about their arena plans, said Wednesday he will ask officials in both cities to provide the league with greater detail about potential construction hurdles.
Still, a spokesman for state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, who was in New York for the presentation to the NBA, said the Alameda court ruling doesn't appear to be a major handicap to an arena in Sacramento.
"We're not concerned," said spokesman Rhys Williams.
Meanwhile, Seattle's arena plan faces two opposition lawsuits that could delay Chris Hansen's plan, but aren't really expected to be much more than slight speed bumps.
One brought by the local longshoreman union, claiming the arena-financing plan is effectively circumventing a state-mandated environmental review, was rejected in February by King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North — though the union has pledged to appeal. The other, brought by a citizen activist group, alleges Seattle's plan violates Initiative 91 — the 2006 law that requires pro sports team to earn the city a profit — yet Hansen, Mayor Mike McGinn and other figureheads have repeatedly insisted the proposed arena would comply.

For our 5th wedding anniversary, I gave my wife the plans to this chest and told her that I would make it for her. Well, a year and a half later, I am finally finished :) The woods are walnut (a gift from a friend) and birdseye maple. This was a very challenging project, as it was my first real furniture piece, and I had to fix many major mistakes along the way. I also decided to stray from the plans on many features like the inlay on the top, the sliding trays in the top drawer, the drawer fronts, and the handcut dovetails. All flaws aside, I am pretty happy with how it turned out, and my wife is thrilled to finally have the chest finished.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Vice President Joe Biden and former President Bill Clinton have criticized Mitt Romney for saying that Chrysler is shifting production of its Jeep brand autos from Ohio to China.
Jeep, a major employer in Ohio, has said it is adding jobs in China to meet growing demand there but is not halting production in North America.
Campaigning together in the crucial swing state, Clinton said that Jeep has called Romney's claim "the biggest load of bull in the world."
Biden said it was "bizarre."
Clinton, who had been scheduled to appear with President Barack Obama, said Obama was personally offended by Romney's claim. Clinton says Obama's first car was a Jeep.
Obama canceled scheduled appearances with Clinton in Florida and Ohio on Monday, citing Hurricane Sandy.

S: Israel and West Bank 2011
BC: Next year in Jerusalem!
FC: Israel and the West Bank Mediterranean Semester 2011 | Amanda Campbell Westmont College
1: January 12th to February 11th, 2011
2: Jerusalem | Jerusalem, the holiest city on Earth, is a place of obvious discord. Five calls to prayer a day were reminders of the religious tension in the city. Despite this oppressive feeling, Jerusalem was also a place of deep inspiration. No where else did I feel as close to Biblical characters as I did here, where I walked upon stones laid centuries ago and sat on stairs constructed prior to the fall of the Temple.
3: The Old City is made up of four quarters: Muslim, Jewish, Armenian, and Christian. We explored new sections each day, including each quarter within the Old City and the two sides outside of the walls.
4: This is said to have been the home of King David. Though they have no direct proof of this, it was amazing to walk through and upon pathways that were laid in the 8th Century BC. | One of the most amazing features of the City is Hezekiah's Tunnel. We were able to walk through the tunnel, which is about a third of a mile long, finally reaching the Pool of Siloam. | City of David (Modern-day Silwan)
5: Men chiseled the tunnel from both directions, and, incredibly, reached each other. Pictured below is the point at which the men met. | Then Hezekiah worked hard at repairing all the broken sections of the wall, erecting towers, and constructing a second wall outside the first. He also reinforced the supporting terraces in the City of David and manufactured large numbers of weapons and shields. 2 Chronicles 32:5 | As often happened on our trip, our professor Bruce took the opportunity to read scripture and share some thoughts on the importance of a particular location. We were blessed by his knowledge and wisdom throughout the trip.
6: We wanted to explore Hinnom Valley, or Gehenna, as it is called in the Bible. This is where the inhabitants of the Old City would dump their trash. The trash would decompose and burn, thus creating the "fires of Gehenna." | We trespassed along the trip a few times, mostly due to encouragement from Bruce. This time we were hiking to see the tombs in the valley, which lacked bodies but retained their creepiness. | Valleys of Jerusalem
7: From top: Cemetery, Bruce the explorer, East Jerusalem, view of a minaret from our convent, Gehenna, walking to Gethsemane
8: Masada
9: We awoke at 3:30am to hike to the top of Masada, a famous Jewish fortress. As we climbed to the top, the sun rose behind us over the Dead Sea. | We spent a couple of hours exploring the deserted Jewish fortress before setting off for the Dead Sea.
10: The Jews built an amazing city atop this plateau. This was the final holdout in the First Jewish War, and ended with a mass suicide according to Josephus. | Exploring Masada
11: The Dead Sea | The Dead Sea is famous for its healing minerals. We swam around for a while and then found a mud hole and covered ourselves from head to toe. Afterwards our skin felt soft and refreshed. | You do not actually swim in the Dead Sea, but float due to the high salt content. It was fun to lay down or stand up and float without effort.
12: Ein Gedi | And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of Ein Gedi. 1 Samuel 23:29 | Next was Ein Gedi, where David hid from Saul.
13: Qumran | Our final stop of a very long day was Qumran, the original location of the Dead Sea Scrolls. A group called the Essenes lived there for many years, though it is unclear if they were the ones who hid the scrolls. We were able to see some of the caves in which the scrolls were found as well as the ruins from the Essene city.
14: Tent of Nations
15: We slept in this cave, though it was so cold no one was able to sleep much. Here we realized the trip would require resilience and patience. | The Tent of Nations is owned by a man named Daoud, a Palestinian whose family has owned this farmland for over a century. He has won legal battles in Israeli court over the land but continues to fight for the right to stay. We planted trees near the house, leaving our own mark on the land.
16: Bethlehem | Bethlehem is a popular stop for Christians. We were welcomed into the homes of Palestinian Christians for homestays. This is the Church of the Nativity, which commemorates Jesus' birth. The entrance was made so that all who enter must bow to pass through the doorway.
17: The church was a battleground in 2002 during the Second Intifada. We could see the bullet holes in the wall of the cloister from Israeli snipers. Members of Hamas took over the church, taking fifty clergy hostage in the process. Eventually the assailants left the building and were exiled to Europe and the Gaza Strip. | This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18 | This hole is said to be the exact place of Jesus' birth.
18: Though Jerusalem is only thirty minutes away, many of the people in Hebron are not allowed to visit or are only allowed to enter a few times a year. Jerusalem is the center of medical technology and economic opportunity, so this restriction can be a barrier to health and success for the Palestinians. | Hebron | Hebron, mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament, is the location of the Tomb of the Patriarchs, where Abraham and others are said to be buried. For this reason, both Muslims and Jews view the city as a holy site. At the Tomb, there is a mosque and a synagogue with a fence in between. So Jacob returned to his father, Isaac,in Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had both lived as foreigners. Genesis 35:27
19: Israeli settlers moved to Hebron and were followed by Israeli soldiers to protect them. These settlers are acting against the expressed wishes of the government and the majority of Israelis. They are occasionally violent, but mainly just obnoxious. They have forced the Palestinians to close their main market area and they throw trash on the main street from their homes above. You can see the gate above the road that Palestinians put up as protection. | We were invited for tea in a shop in which unemployed women make and sell woven goods. Jessica, Alyssa, Kacie, and Rachael
20: Jericho and the Mount of Temptation | We took a trip to Jericho and the possible location of the Mount of Temptation. We refrained from hiking this time, instead taking a tram to the top. There was a unique convent built into the rock commemorating Jesus' rebuke of the Devil. | Then the devil took him up and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. "I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them," the devil said, "because they are mine to give to anyone I please. I will give it all to you if you will worship me." Jesus replied, "The Scriptures say, 'You must worship the LORD your God and serve only him.'" Luke 4:5-8
21: Above: view from the convent; Left: The convent; Right: a Sycamore tree on the main street in Jericho. | There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich.He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way. When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. "Zacchaeus!" he said. "Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today." Luke 19:2-19:5
22: Ramallah | Ramallah is the de facto capital of Palestine, home to leaders of the PLO and many politically active groups. On the left is the tomb of Yasser Arafat, former leader of the PLO. Guards stand by at all times. Below is a college student with whom Paige and I spent the night as a short homestay. She is a Muslim woman attending the university nearby.
23: Ramallah looked like a typical Middle Eastern city. It was crowded with men and cars, the streets were fairly dirty, and there was very little color anywhere. While there, a protest broke out over the Palestine Papers. We left quickly, though there was no real danger.
24: Nablus | Nablus was one of the most violent cities in the Second Intifada. It remains one of the most politically extreme areas of the West Bank. | Cody dancing in a hookah bar. A television show was filming that night and Cody was on a local channel the next night. | This dessert is made of corn starch, cheese, and sugar water. It was a bit strange, though delicious. | The streets of Nablus are often narrowed to this point because the city cannot expand outward.
25: These posters are on walls and lampposts throughout the city. They are a constant encouragement to the Palestinians to continue their fight. Here we saw the devastating effects of the Palestinian propaganda on the lives of the Palestinians. In this poor city with a refugee camp filled to the brim with third generation refugees, we wondered what, if anything, could cause an end to this situation. | According to our guide, everything that had ever gone wrong was Israel's fault. Israel was to blame for the lack of employment, education, and progress in the city and throughout the Middle East.
26: Jacob's Well | This church is said to have Jacob's Well in the basement. We were able to drink water from the well, though they would not allow us to take pictures. As we were leaving, the caretaker asked for a donation, which Bruce was happy to provide. Our Muslim guide was angered by the request and called the police. | Bruce stayed until the police left to make sure the caretaker would not be punished. | Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, Please give me a drink."... | "She said to Jesus, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?" Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water." John 4:5-7, 9b-10
27: In this nearby city is a village of Jews who broke from Orthodox Judaism and who follow all of the practices of the Old Testament, including animal sacrifices and ceremonial cleaning practices.The Chief Priest showed us around their museum and told us about their traditions. | This man is the 146th descendant of Adam according to his genealogy chart.
28: Nazareth Village | Watching a woman make yarn out of wool | Walking through the olive trees | Above: Making olive oil via rolling grinder Right: Making olive oil via stomping
29: Jesus used quite a bit of vineyard imagery in His parables. Here in Nazareth Village we were able to see many of those images played out in reality. We will all remember the tour guide/pastor who drew our attention to the many manifestations of Jesus' teachings.
30: Day One of the Hike - Nazareth to Cana | Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day. There, too, the people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority. Luke 4:31-2 We left Nazareth and set off on the "Jesus Trail", created by American hikers who wanted others to be able to follow the path of Jesus across the Galilee. We packed our backpacks and shipped our luggage off to meet us when we completed our three day hike.
31: We stayed at a goat farm the first night. Great food and showers were welcome after a long day of walking.
32: The Sea of Galilee splayed out before us. It brought us hope that we were making progress toward our goal. We'd walked about half way at that point, but coming down from such a high point took far more time than walking up. | Day Two of Our HIke - Horns of Hittin to Cliffs of Arbel
33: You can see the Horns of Hittin in the distance as we stand atop the Cliffs of Arbel. Brooks is waving goodbye as we prepare to descend the cliff.
34: Day Three of the Hike - Arbel to Capernaum
35: We made it! These cliffs <---- are the cliffs of Arbel that we climbed down. It was a long trek but we finally arrived in Capernaum.
36: The Sea of Galilee is cold in January. It is lined with shells rather than sand. We scheduled a boat tour, but there was a storm and we were unable to board the ship. I can see why the disciples would have been worried. | We arrived at sunset to see the gates of our destination locked. We had hoped to gain entrance but unlike every other location in the Middle East, the town closed on time, five minutes before we reached it. | C a p e r n a u m
37: It was a heady feeling, knowing the role of the Sea in Jesus' teachings and walking along the shore. | One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for men!" And they left their nets at once and followed him. Matthew 4:18-20
38: In the Golan, the northernmost point in Israel | Israel annexed the Golan from Syria in 1967. It remains a political issue to this day. | Golan Heights
39: A tank left in the Golan from the 1967 war | It had rained the day before, creating a dirty but spectacular series of waterfalls.
40: Acco | Our first view of the Mediterranean Sea
41: We were able to eat at this restaurant on the water after a day of exploration. The view was phenomenal.
42: Caesarea Maritima Roman Ruins that are partially under water
43: View of the ruins at Caesarea Maritima
44: A downpour cut our tour short. Hail followed by rain preceded a mad dash to shelter. The shopkeepers didn't appreciate our use of their storefronts as safe havens. We relocated to a coffee shop for an impromptu discussion of Israeli politics. | Cody, Riley, Alyssa, Bruce, and Sarah | Tel Aviv
45: The building on the left is the location of a suicide bombing in a discotheque in Tel Aviv. Twenty teenagers were killed and many more were injured. Hamas was responsible for the attack, though other Islamic groups took credit at the time. The club serves as a reminder of the violence of the Second Intifada.
46: There are seven gates to the Old City. All but one, the Golden Gate, are in use. We went through all six at various times, but we used Damascus and Jaffa gates most frequently. | Back to Jerusalem | We explored many religious sites including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the supposed place of Christ's death.
47: These olive trees can live up to 1000 years. The oldest one there now is over 500 years old. | This was taken from a church near the garden of Gethsemane. | They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, "Sit here while I go and pray." Mark 14:32
48: Ramon Crater | I almost died but my friends were nice enough to snap a picture before coming to my rescue.
49: As we prepared to leave Israel, we traveled to this phenomenal natural crater in the Negev. | Rain and sun rays made an impressive background.
51: The Group | Rachael, Hannah, Paige, Kelly, Alyssa, Jenny, Sarah, Jessica, Sam, Mandi, Kacie, Kendra, Eric, Matt, Brooks, Cody, Nick, Marshall and Riley
52: The Leaders | Bruce | Sarah | Matt | Bruce, Sarah, Matt

Chapter 01 - Childhood & Education
1956 - 1980
Thomas Jeffrey Hanks was born on July 9, 1956, in Concord, California, in John Muir Hospital (formerly Mt. Diablo Hospital). Tom Hanks was raised by Amos Mefford Hanks, a cook and restaurant manager, and Janet Hanks (her birth name was Janet Marilyn Frager), a hospital worker. Both his maternal grandparents, though born in California, had Portuguese ancestry.
His parents divorced when he was 4. Tom Hanks described that experience as "confusing" and "lonely", although he added "but I must say I always seemed to land in a household of pretty decent and carrying people". His father took him along with his three siblings, Sandra, Larry and Jim, to Reno, Nevada. Because his father was an itinerant cook, Tom Hanks had to move quite often in his childhood, "sometimes every six months", from place to place : San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Reno.
"From a very early age, my parents never really communicated to me what was going on in the dynamic between them... My mother moved away from our home when I was 4 years old... My father, through all of his marriages, never, ever sat me down and told me how much he either loved or did not love the women he was married to, or shared with me the problems that he was going through. So I was just constantly attempting to cope before I really learned how to cope. I would go through some brand of self-medicating process : becoming very involved in doing something like going to church or making sure that my calendar was filled with something that I was doing every minute." 1
The family eventually settled in Oakland, California, where Tom Hanks attended and graduated from Skyline High School in 1974. At 14, Tom Hanks had a part time job at the Oakland Coliseum selling peanuts and sodas and would later work as a bellman in an hotel, carrying the bags of some celebrities including Cher, Sidney Poitier, Slappy White and Bill Withers.
When asked about his lonely childhood, Tom Hanks answered "I discovered in a good way my preoccupation with, sort of, like, stories and art or whatever creativity you can call it when you're 8 or 9 or 10 years old was a good combat for loneliness. I developed a real great attachment for going to school. I liked school. Other kids will cut school, I thought school was kind of a great place. There was action there. I knew something was going down there that would generate some sort of a laugh or some sort of a routine or I would belong to something bigger than myself." 2 Rawley Farnsworth, Tom Hanks's first drama teacher, seemed to be right then when he explained : "I've always had the feeling that Tom wasn't in any hurry ever to leave after school, after rehearsals. Not that he hated to go home, I don't know that, but in a way he needed a place where he could make himself comfortable." It's at Skyline Highschool that Tom Hanks started theater, "because it just looked like it was so much fun". Tom Hanks described M. Farnsworth as different from other drama teachers because he asked the students to go up on stage and act, instead of just reading plays. He offered six different theater courses and Tom Hanks took them all.
During his high school years, Tom Hanks liked to entertain his classmates with his comedic talents and acted in school plays. He also worked backstage, as stage manager, learning every aspect of the job. He then transferred to California State University in Sacramento as a theater major, but quit his studies to intern, in 1977, with the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival in Lakewood, Ohio. Vincent Downling the artistic director of the Festival was a guest director. "I was walking across the stage just before the rehearsal and then Vincent said 'Tom, come here... I think you could be an actor'. To have somebody say that to me was the best possible news, that I didn't even know that I was running for."
He offered Tom Hanks to join them explaining that he couldn't pay him but would give him the chance to work with season professionals. "And that was the thing that was more valuable than cash. You were up on stage doing six plays a year with people who made their living out of it. It was everything he promised me it would be". Over the next three years, he spent summers acting in numerous productions of Shakespeare's plays and his winters participating backstage in the community theater company in Sacramento. He received his professional union card and from that moment "never even considered anything else".
"That was my school. That was the place where I actually learn whatever technic that I have and also the work habits." 3
He was acclaimed for his performance in The Taming of the Shrew and earned, in 1978, a Cleveland Critics Circle Award for Best Actor for his brilliant performance of Proteus in The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Tom Hanks then moved to New York City with Samantha Lewes (her birth name was Susan Jane Dillingham), a celebrated actress and producer he met in the theater company. They had started dating in 1975 and had gotten married three years later, on January 24, 1978. They had twi children together. Their son, Colin, was born on November 24, 1977 and Elizabeth was born on May 17, 1982.
