Re: Do Orthodox believe Jesus died for our sins?
I do not see how on one hand Jesus can die for our sins and the Bible (Isaiah 53) points to this yet on the other hand much of what I have read implies that the Orthodox understanding is that Christ died to defeat death. I believe this is true but I also believe he died in our place.
...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.
quote:" "All have sinned, all come short of the glory of God, but they are justified for nothing by His grace through the ransom provided in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as the means of propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith". (Romans 3:23-25). The Term "Propitiation" The Greek word (hilasterion) is derived from a verb which in pagan writers and inscriptions has two meanings: (a) "to placate" a man or a god; (b) "to expiate" a sin, i.e. to perform an act (such as the payment of a fine or the offering of a sacrifice) by which its guilt is annulled. The former meaning is overwhelmingly the more common. In the Septuagint, on the other hand, the meaning (a) is practically unknown where God is the object, and the meaning (b) is found in scores of passages. Thus the biblical sense of the verb is "to perform an act whereby guilt or defilement is removed." The idea underlying it is characteristic of primitive religion. The ancients felt that if a taboo was infringed, the person or thing involved became unclean, defiled or profane. The condition of defilement might be removed by the performance of the appropriate act: it might be washing with water, or sprinkling with blood, or simply the forfeiture of some valuable object to the deity concerned with the taboo. Such acts were felt to have the value, so to speak, of a disinfectant. Thus in the Old Testament a whole range of ritual actions are prescribed for disinfecting the priest, the altar, or the people from various forms of defilement, ritual or moral. Our versions in such cases use the phrase "to make propitiation"; but the more proper translation would be "to make expiation". This meaning holds good wherever the subject of the verb is a man. But, as religious thought advanced, it came to be felt that, where the defilement was moral, God alone could annul it; and so the same verb is used with God as subject in the sense "to forgive".1 In accordance with biblical usage, therefore, the substantive (hilasterion) would mean, not propitiation, but "a means by which guilt is annulled": if a man is the agent, the meaning would be "a means of expiation"; if God, "a means by which sin is forgiven". Biblical usage is determinative for Paul. The rendering "propitiation" is therefore misleading, for it suggests the placating of an angry God, and although this would be in accord with pagan usage, it is foreign to biblical usage. In the present passage it is God who puts forward the means whereby the guilt of sin is removed, by sending Christ. The sending of Christ, therefore, is the divine method of forgiveness. This brings the teaching of the present passage into exact harmony with that of v. 8-9. 1 The full evidence for all this is given in my book, The Bible and the Greeks, pp. 82-95, where I have examined, I believe, every occurrence of the verb in the Septuagint.C. H. Dodd, The Epistle of Paul to the Romans,Fontana Books (1959), pp. 78-79.
This is starting to make sense. My basic understanding of what you are trying to say is...Sin made us unclean before God and God sent Jesus to die for us so our sins may be cleansed, in analogy with the Ancient Jewish tradition of cleansing. However God sent Jesus to get rid of our sins and defeat death, but it was not because he was angry with our sins and needed to be appeased. Jesus literally went down into Hell and smote death.The Protestant understanding is...God is angry because of what Adam and Eve did in the Garden and he must be appeased with an offering, that offering is Jesus. As we live we get a tabulation of sins and Jesus forgives them by dying in our place. The blood covers our sins and God does not punish us. In a sense this is the Catholic understanding, however Protestants often add one thing...Jesus did not actually go to Hell to defeat death, this is merely symbolic. Hell is actually a separation from God and God turned his back on Jesus (which doesn't make sense because it implies God is turning His back on Himself) and death will be defeated in the end times. And don't even get me started on that end times stuff because many Protestants are obsessed over it.The thing is this is a big deal because as I said I am not Baptist but I have Baptist family and many Baptists imply that our salvation rests on believing in substitutionary atonement. They gripe of "legalism" yet their idea is God is up there saying, "Oh you didn't get this one doctrine totally right, sorry you are going to Hell."
Jesus literally went down into Hell and smote death.
And FWIW, these are our Fathers too, you know.
God is angry because of what Adam and Eve did in the Garden and he must be appeased with an offering, that offering is Jesus.
QuoteGod is angry because of what Adam and Eve did in the Garden and he must be appeased with an offering, that offering is Jesus.Ugh. The way they explain that, they make God the Father out to be a petty pagan deity that needs appeased when humans displease Him.
I listened to these and he wasn't that clear. In fact, he seemed to contradict himself.
Christ my God, set my heart on fire with love in You, that in its flame I may love You with all my heart, with all my mind, and with all my soul and with all my strength, and my neighbor as myself, so that by keeping Your commandments I may glorify You the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Amen.
I listened to these and he wasn't that clear.
My understanding of Fr. Hopko's view is that the wrath of God is fundamentally rehabilitative, He gets angry because He cares, He wants us to "snap out of it" and flee from sin so He puts the pressure on. Christ "took God's wrath" on the Cross because He gave us the grace to become united with His holiness thus removing any need for God to be angry with us since our sins are now gone. So, God's wrath "remains on him" who does not believe because he refuses to give His sins to Jesus and thus God will constantly pursue him with cleansing fire for eternity (God is love, so He can't just give up, He has to keep bringing the wrath).The propitiation view by contrast sees God's wrath as restitutive. We've offended God and now He's out for blood (whether because He hates us or because He just needs to balance the cosmic scales of His Law). Jesus took the bullet for us and God is now free to not be angry with us anymore.So, according to Hopko, God's wrath is a tool to bring us to repentence whereas according to the propitiation view it's a destructive obstacle (albeit a necessary one because of God's holiness) which must be overcome.Does that help?
I got nothing.
I forgot the maps

Hmm I have this EX model Minerva for quite some time.. was thinking of getting started on it, and do without it's original colors.
I'm thinking of dosing it with the colors of the GN Arms/Ptolemaios colors (Blue/white stuff).
Is there any model or figure of that ship out there that I can make references with?
Thanks in advance.

I have a few questions for you guys.
I recently found out a local hobby store now sells Gundams, and I saw some Master Grade ones that peaked my interest. I've never made an MG one, and am interested in getting one. They only had four that interest me, and they are:
MG Destiny, MG Impulse, MG Shin Musha, and MG Hi-Nu
My first question is what are good prices for these models? I can't remember the prices, but they range from $45 (Impulse?) to $70 (Hi-Nu). Second, which one should I get? I can only afford one. And lastly, are they hard to build? (I like a challenge)

Finished it a couple of days ago, just posting some pics of this 1/100 Red Astray. Seriously, if you can, GET IT:
MeesesGlokmah: I would recommend you first get a couple of HG's to more o less get a vibe. Model kits aren't hard at all, but they do require patience and some work to make them look good (but duh, look who's talking, my first model was a MG Strike Freedom Full Burst so... )
As for the prices you mention... well, $45 for Impulse sounds like a good deal for me. My Hi-Nu was 80 bucks, so maybe you should go and get the one that is the most attractive to you.

I just realized, does the upcoming HG for the 00 Gundam not include the beam sabers or the shield? I've seen the recent preview of the kit and it looks like the beam sabers are only the attachments at the butt, and the kit doesn't actually have the beam parts. The shield doesn't seem to be part of the kit at all. Seems like it might be better to wait for a better kit for the 00 at this rate.

Wait a second..... are those LEGS below the backpack!!??
I'm seeing something else besides that Gundam head... There are LEGS below the backpack and those shoulder cannons seems to look like ARMS, seeing as they are connected to the "backpack"! Is there a GN-009 piggyback-ing the Seravee...?

Here's a question. Is it possible that that whole Lineart, despite being ' 'Official' ' and all, isn't as official as it could be? Is it possible it's a smokescreen designed to camoflauge the new GN-009 until they're ready to unveil it in the actual series and throw us off of what we are expecting it to be? I could see them surrepticiously scripting it so we never get a good look at the backside of Seravee until, little remora suit pops out the back? Because I'm seeing alot of the same things you guys are and there's a world of difference between the Lineart and that Model. My only problem though, is that the shoulder bazookas appear to be functional weapons from what we've seen.
So has Bandai ever pulled a stunt like that?

Liberals gag twits
LIBERAL PARTY candidates have been gagged before next year's federal election, with Coalition backbench MPs under pressure to close their Twitter and other social media accounts.
In an opposition bid to limit ''stuff-ups and scandals'', Fairfax Media has learnt of a directive from the head office of the federal Liberal Party to preselected candidates that ''strongly advises'' against using Twitter, and tweeting on behalf of the Liberal Party is ''not encouraged''.
Several Liberal backbenchers have confirmed the strict measure, which was decided at the start of last month, with one MP saying the party was sending a clear message ''that depending on your seniority, use a great deal of caution when tweeting, and it is preferred that most MPs closed our social media accounts''.
''It is a way to limit the stuff-up and scandals obviously but it seems a little draconian to me,'' the MP said. ''I wouldn't go as far as to say this is a free speech issue but if I was pushed to close my account outright, then you would hear from me loud and clear. On Twitter and elsewhere.''
Another MP said the decision was ''outrageous'' and a ''result of a bunch of nervous nellies in the head office who think we aren't capable of running our own offices without falling over our own feet''.
Calls to the Liberal Party federal secretariat for comment were not returned.
A spokesman for the Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, said this issue was a matter for the national executive branch.
It is understood preselected Liberal candidates in Western Sydney were the first to be told of the Twitter blackout and several have privately made their displeasure clear to local party branches.
Labor MP Steve Gibbons caused a stir in the last sitting week of Federal Parliament by calling Mr Abbott a ''gutless douchebag'' and the Deputy Opposition Leader, Julie Bishop, a ''narcissistic bimbo'' on Twitter.
The tweet caused immediate problems for Labor, given the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard's, aggressive campaign against what she has called the Opposition Leader's misogyny.
In May, Liberal MP Kelly O'Dwyer defended controversial comments she made on the social media site about foreign workers and an overseas-born Labor senator as ''clearly ironic''.
In September, Liberal council candidate Matthew Hammon was forced to resign from the party when he sent a series of racially provocative tweets criticising Muslims in the aftermath of the anti-Islam film riot in Sydney.
The federal move to limit the use of Twitter is not the first time the Liberal Party has imposed a gag on candidates.
Last year, Queensland Liberal National Party candidates were encouraged to use Facebook rather than Twitter to connect with voters and avoid slip-ups before the state election.

At Waldheim Cemetery in Forest Park, a sacred Jewish burial ground, there is a section near the Des Plaines River where the tombstones are sinking. Morris Kaplan's and Rose Neiman's gravestones have sunk so low that the dates of death are barely visible.
After a heavy rainstorm this spring, World War II veteran Emil Kleppel's grave was submerged in standing water. Nearby, a pile of mangled branches covers Sam Getzberg's gravestone, which apparently was removed from his grave and discarded.
Here at Waldheim, where more than 200,000 Jews are buried, the Hebrew headstones speak to the history of Chicago's Jewish community. But the areas suffering from occasional flooding and other unkempt sections tell of the struggle to carry Waldheim's legacy into the future.
As a Jewish cemetery, Waldheim faces unique problems because of the Jewish tradition that bodies be buried in a plain wooden coffin with no concrete vault. As the wood decays over the years, monuments atop those graves are more likely to tilt or fall. In addition, the cemetery's nearness to the river brings sporadic flooding in areas now used primarily to bury the indigent.
"It's a very, very difficult cemetery to maintain," said Irwin Lapping, vice president of Waldheim Cemetery Co., which manages about 85 percent of the area. "We underwent a physical renovation that improved much of the cemetery. But still there's a great deal to do."
Lapping's firm maintains about 170,000 graves at the cemetery. Silverman & Weiss Cemetery, a smaller business, handles the remaining graves—at least 26,000—including the section near the Des Plaines River that sometimes floods.
"I have no idea how [the flooding] would be resolved," said Steve Schwitzman, owner of Silverman & Weiss. "You can't really build up the land because there are graves there. You'd have to take out every single headstone, monument and redo the land and then put everything back where it's supposed to be. It would be almost impossible."
Monica Karbin, whose parents are buried in the section near the river, calls that response unacceptable and thinks Silverman & Weiss should invest in a drainage system to prevent flooding.
"How disgusting, how degrading and how disrespectful to the dead, to the people you love, to be underwater," she said. "It's senseless. Why should my mom be sinking?"
Waldheim's history dates to the 1870s, when early Jewish immigrants established synagogues and fraternal organizations that bought cemetery lots for their members. Eventually, the massive area was divided into 288 small cemeteries, each with its own leadership and rules.
"Each one of these cemeteries did whatever they want. If someone wanted to put up a large monument, they did," said Lapping, also Waldheim's historian. "It was kind of chaotic because you had different people in control."
In the 1940s, as Jewish immigrants migrated to suburbs and early synagogues closed or merged, Waldheim became severely neglected. Lapping got involved in the late 1950s because his grandfather owned one of the caretaker businesses. Soon, Lapping's firm took over the operations of most of the early groups, except for Silverman and Weiss, which Schwitzman purchased in 1991.
Major restoration
Under Lapping, much of Waldheim gradually underwent an extensive renovation that restored much of its beauty. An endowment was established to care for older graves. Today, Waldheim continues to attract Jewish families who want to be buried there. The company performs about 350 burials every year.
"We're like an old neighborhood," Lapping said. "It had its heyday. Then, it went down. So, it needed to be gentrified and renewed."
Both caretakers struggle with two costly maintenance issues: tipping monuments and caring for older graves with no family left. Lapping said the monuments are the largest expense. Last year, for example, Waldheim spent $17,000 renovating more than 800 monuments, he said.
Even so, one disturbing section contains dozens of cracked tombstones that look like they were bulldozed from another area. Here is where Getzberg's stone lies among brush and yard waste. Both caretakers deny the stones are theirs.
Schwitzman said he is limited in what he can repair because his company lacks the equipment to lift larger stones. Rising gas prices have affected cemetery upkeep as the cost of lawn care soars. And some Jewish organizations still own cemetery land and are failing to pay for upkeep, he said.
"The organizations owe us so much money. But we're not going to let the cemetery go. We care about how it looks. Even though I don't get paid for cutting the grass, and even though the price of gas now is high, we still do it anyway," he said.
Schwitzman bears the extra burden of maintaining the section on Roosevelt Road that periodically floods. He thinks the problem may have been exacerbated by excavations required to build a nursing home beside the cemetery.
The company discussed possible remedies for the flooding with Forest Park officials, he said, but was told it could not pump flood water back into the river or into the sewer system because of the potential for disease.
Schwitzman said his firm no longer sells graves in that section. However, some burials still occur there, as it is one of the sections that early Jewish immigrants designated for needy families.
"I don't think they decided this when it was flooding," he said. "If they knew the area was going to be flooding, I don't think it would have been used for the graves."
Emily Soloff, executive director of the American Jewish Committee's Chicago chapter, said flooding in a Jewish cemetery is a serious issue because the wooden coffins raise the possibility that bodies could be disinterred.
No central authority
"It's a challenging question because there isn't an overarching cemetery authority in the Jewish community," she said.
When Karbin's mother died in 1995, family members had little money, so they went to Lloyd Mandel Levayah funeral home in Skokie and asked for financial assistance.
The funeral home contacted Silverman and Weiss to request a public aid burial and was given a plot where the Karbins could be buried next to each other. Her father died in 2003.
"It's an unfortunate situation that flooding does happen," said Doran Puckett, the funeral home director. "But these cemeteries date back to the time of the Civil War. When it floods, it floods. Stuff like that is an act of God."
Solutions elsewhere
Puckett said other cemeteries in the Chicago area also have flooding issues but some have found solutions. At Shalom Memorial Park in Arlington Heights, for example, water pumps keep the graves dry, he said.
In recent years the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago has spent weekends sprucing up Jewish cemeteries that have fallen into disrepair, but only when asked by the Illinois attorney general's office, federation spokeswoman Linda Haase said.
Karbin said she was not told the section where her parents were buried was susceptible to flooding. She said she has gotten two letters from Silverman and Weiss saying her mother's stone was sinking and requesting $45 to correct it. She has refused to pay.
"Even if it only floods one week a year, that's too many," she said.
"My parents took care of me, so now it's my turn to take care of them."

WASHINGTON President Bush said Tuesday that while it's too early to assess Hurricane Gustav's damage to U.S. oil infrastructure off the Gulf Coast, the storm should prompt Congress to OK more domestic oil production.
"One thing is for certain, when Congress comes back, they've got to understand that we need more domestic energy, not less," Bush said in the Roosevelt Room. "One place to find it is offshore America lands that have been taken off the books, so to speak, by congressional law and now they need to give us a chance to find more oil and gas here at home.
"I know that the Congress has been on recess for a while, but this issue hasn't gone away," he said in a nudge to lawmakers who return from recess on Sept. 8.
Bush, keeping a hands-on profile on the aftermath of the hurricane in contrast to the government's poor response to Katrina, met in the Roosevelt Room with Vice President Dick Cheney and about 20 advisers, including the secretaries of Interior, Transportation and Energy.
Preliminary indications were that Gustav caused little damage to onshore and offshore facilities, though the full impact likely won't be known for a couple of days. Some oil companies, rig owners and refiners were already putting equipment and people back in place to resume operations.
The price of oil, meanwhile, tumbled more than $8 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, suggesting traders were confident that the energy complex suffered only a glancing blow.
Gustav roared ashore Monday morning and eight deaths were attributed to the storm in the U.S. after it killed at least 94 people across the Caribbean. It was downgraded to a tropical depression early Tuesday, and mandatory evacuation orders were lifted for three Southeast Texas counties. Though New Orleans was largely spared, there still was damage and anxious evacuees told not to come home yet.
In the days preceding Gustav, oil companies shut down virtually all oil and natural gas production in the Gulf, and the storm's threat halted about 15 percent of the nation's refining capacity based in the region. The U.S. Gulf Coast is home to nearly half the nation's refining capacity, while offshore the Gulf accounts for about 25 percent of domestic oil production and 15 percent of natural gas output.
Bush said that during Katrina, the force of the storm moved rigs and anchors hit pipelines.
"We didn't see much of that this time, but I will tell you it's a little early to be making any forecasts," he said.
AP Business Writer John Porretto in Houston contributed to this report.

Please Note: E-liquid Labeled Acetyl-Propionyl Free means that particular e-liquid DOES NOT contain acetyl propionyl
Acetyl Propionyl (pronounces Ah-see-tel Pro-pee-ih-nil) is typically used as a solvent for cellulose acetate, lacquers, paints, inks, and is also used as a starting agent for drugs, dyes, and pesticides. Most commonly, it is known as an artificial flavor, particularly within the vaping industry for e-liquids. It has a flavor and aroma profile that have been known to carry a particularly sweet, creamy, buttery, cheesy, and fruity flavor, with notes of caramel.
Currently there is some controversy surrounding the use of this substance in vapor products, though no concrete evidence has emerged to explicitly label it as harmful. There has been discussion of acetyl propionyl causing damage to the respiratory tract, and it has been known to harm the lungs in studies done on animals. For the time being, until further research emerges, we will carry e-liquid brands that contain acetyl propionyl, but we will identify them as such.
Visit our E-liquid Promise page HERE
Diacetyl (pronounced die-AS-i-til) is found naturally in low concentrations in foods such as butter and beer, and is a byproduct of fermentation. High exposure to diacetyl in production settings has been linked to rare respiratory illnesses such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Although the risks are much lower for vapers inhaling diacetyl-containing e-liquids, it is important to know the potential consequences of extended diacetyl inhalation. Studies have found that e-liquid containing diacetyl may cause harm to the respiratory system over time. As a result, DIRECTVAPOR will let you know which e-liquids are diacetyl-free so you can make informed decisions when selecting e-liquid.

We recommend that all newbies start off with 18mg. This is the most comparable level to a traditional cigarette and will provide the best results for those just making the switch for the first time. We offer many levels of nicotine, allowing you to truly customize your vaping experience.
The nicotine level will directly affect vaping exp and performance of your vaporizer or MOD. The term "throat hit" is commonly used to describe the intensity of your vape. As you experience with different nicotine levels, we suggest that you move slowly and do not make drastic jumps. Moving from 12mg to 18mg is recommend over jumping straight to 24mg.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call to speak to one of our friendly reps.
Propylene Glycol (PG):
Stronger flavor taste
Thinner e-liquid to aid in better wicking
Heavier throat hit
Vegetable Glycerin (VG):
VG has a naturally sweeter taste
Thicker e-liquid and larger vapor production
Lighter throat hit
Less allergenic

Thinking about attending just to see Cheap Trick and await the 49ers and party in Washington during the nicest time of year to be there.
Is it any fun? Outside of Alaska, StateFairs probably don't really differ from state to state, do they?
Hawker wrote:I have ample parking at my place to any .Netters who wish to park for free. I live about 1/2 block directly north of the fairgrounds. BFS, look me up come September.
It's pretty good fun. Many of us who have been dozens of time will say it's getting outrageously pricey to go, especially if you are a fan of rides and/or have kids that do. So bring cash!
But there's a decent/overpriced beer garden and a ton of great food. My step son will be showing pigeons in this year's fair, that ought to be entertaining...

When I walked into the school office, armed with my spray paint and tape measure, I was greeted by Jorge Alvarez, one of the Victoria Avenue Elementary School Green Team members. "Are we marking the asphalt today?" You would've thought it was Christmas, the way his face lit up when I said yes. "Let me come with you," he volunteered.
We walked together, marking the corners of the tree wells, measuring, and all the while starting to "see" the trees. "Won't it be great when the kids come out that door and a tree will be the first thing they see ahead of them on the playground?" asked Jorge.… Read more >>

The Elusive Spin Transistor
Published on
This presentation is a short introductory tutorial on spin-transistors.
This presentation preceeded Dr. Koo's presentation "Control of Spin Precession in a Datta-Das Transistor Structure".
Supriyo Datta received his B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, India in 1975 and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1979. In 1981, he joined Purdue University, where he is (since 1999) the Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He started his career in the field of ultrasonics and was selected by the Ultrasonics group as its outstanding young engineer to receive an IEEE Centennial Key to the Future Award and by the ASEE to receive the Terman Award for his book on Surface Acoustic Wave Devices.
Since 1985 he has focused on current flow in nanoscale electronic devices and is well-known for his contributions to spin electronics and molecular electronics. Datta's most important contribution, however, is the approach his group has pioneered for the description of quantum transport far from equilibrium, combining the non-equlibrium Green function (NEGF) formalism of many-body physics with the Landauer formalism from mesoscopic physics as described in his books Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems (Cambridge, 1995), and Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor (Cambridge, 2005).
Datta's unique approach to the problem of quantum transport has not only had a significant impact on nanoelectronics research but also on graduate and undergraduate curriculum development in the area. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) as well as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and has received IEEE Technical Field Awards both for research and for graduate teaching.

Balfour was transferred to CPD custody today after they served an arrest warrant. Charges from the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are pending.
UPDATE: We're told the CPD had no new evidence against Balfour -- but they were finally able to scrape all the dirt on him into one pile, which was enough to make the arrest. Also, Balfour is still waiting to be formally charged -- and this could take a day, or up to a week.

Fenerbahce have announced on their official website that they have secured the services of Emre Belozoglu from Atletico Madrid for €350,000.
The midfielder has signed a two-and-a-half year contract with the Istanbul giants, and will earn €1.2 million for the remainder of this season, while receiving €2m per annum after that.
"I am extremely happy. I think all Fenerbahce fans will be be happy," the club's vice president Abdullah Kigili told their official website.
"When he was away, Fenerbahce missed him and he missed Fenerbahce. Emre will want to retire at Fenerbahce. We are pleased."
Emre joined Atletico from Fener at the start of this season, but failed to live up to expectations at the Vicente Calderon.
Therefore, the midfielder has now been allowed to return to his former club as he aims to relaunch his career after six disappointing months in La Liga.
The 32-year-old started his professional career with Galatasaray, and also represented Inter and Newcastle United before his first stint with Fener 2008.

DOZENS of Wainwright aficionados gathered to commemorate two special dates in their diaries at the weekend.
November 9th this year saw the 10th anniversary of the formation of the Wainwright Society back in 2002.
It was also on November 9th, 1952, that the famous fell walker and guides book writer wrote the first page of his first book - Book One, The Eastern Fells.
It started the long-running series revealing his lifelong love affair with the fells.
The Wainwright Society, was set up in Ambleside on November 9, 2002, to keep his memory alive and champion his ideals.
In the 10 years that have followed, membership has grown ten-fold with star members including mountaineers Sir Chris Bonington and Doug Scott, television presenter Julia Bradbury, and the writer and broadcaster, Stuart Maconie.
Over the years, the society has also raised in excess of £50,000 for local charities, as well as campaigning against inappropriate developments in the Lake District landscape.
It celebrated the landmark with a weekend of events including the Wainwright Memorial Lecture by legendary British mountaineer and Yorkshireman, Alan Hinkes, held at Rheged, Penrith.
There was also a display of artefacts from the newly-acquired, Wainwright Archive, being catalogued by the Kendal Records Office.
The next day there was a walk to Dove Crag, Grasmere, the first walk he featured in book one, and was followed in the evening with an anniversary party. To round off the weekend, some members hiked up Great Gable and Castle Crag for the remembrance day services.

So, I�m talking to a young truck driver. He�s a kid, really, but old enough to have a bachelor�s degree in something. He�s postponed his career for a temporary but lucrative sojourn in the oil field.
The Eagle Ford Shale, a major oil and gas play in south Texas, is thriving on improved fracking technologies that extract previously unavailable hydrocarbons and contribute significantly to our nation�s production boom. Fracking requires truckloads of water and plenty of drivers to service the new wells that pop up across the landscape every week. This young driver wasn�t making much per hour, but he was putting in a lot of overtime.
He seemed proud to be about this manly task. The oil patch is a world of husky young guys in pickup trucks and newly constructed trailer parks dotted with satellite dishes. In fact, his assertion a fracking operation he was involved in actually caused an earthquake was a modest boast.
Whatever his college major, it probably wasn�t seismology. But peculiar geological events have been occurring in Texas, as well as in other parts of the country where fracking is being deployed to tease from the substratum whatever hydrocarbons remain.
Texas is generally an earthquake-free zone, but CNNMoney�s website recently reported 30 small earthquakes since Nov. 1 in a rural area outside Fort Worth, a place where ordinarily the earthquake count would be close to zero.
Local residents are blaming deep injection wells used to dispose of the noxious wastewater produced by fracking. They made enough noise to persuade the Texas Railroad Commission, a generally industry-friendly entity, to hold a town hall meeting in Azle, where 900 residents showed up to demand an end to the injection of fracking wastewater.
This issue isn�t confined to a few small towns in Texas. A web search of �earthquakes and fracking� will produce reports of concerns in Pennsylvania, New York, Arkansas, Ohio, Oklahoma and Kansas, among others. In fact, just about everywhere fracking is being used, reports are accumulating of earthquakes and the contamination of underground water supplies by the foul chemicals required to break the embedded oil and gas out of the rock.
The evidence is impressive. U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist William Ellsworth recently noted in �Science� the rate of earthquakes in the central and eastern United States rose from about 20 to about 100 per year between 2010 and 2013, in correlation with the increased use of fracking.
On the other hand, a petroleum engineer with decades of experience making a small fortune from oil and gas tells me that fracking is harmless and emphatically rejects the notion it could possibly cause earthquakes or release enough gas into underground aquifers to make tap water burn.
Of course, a column like this doesn�t have the scope to say much that�s definitive about the impact fracking has on the environment. And despite all the evidence, even Ellsworth suggests scientific caution, saying, �Correlation is not causation.�
Certainly. But whenever I encounter skepticism about our capacity to affect our environment, I think of Jared Diamond�s �Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed,� a hefty and impressive chronicle of communities, large and small, ancient and modern, that have risen and declined because they pushed up against and then exceeded the capacity of their environments.
Does fracking cause earthquakes and water pollution? I�m not prepared to say. But we shouldn�t be at all surprised that it might. And the underestimation of the effect of our activities on the global environment is always a dangerous mistake.
The Incan and Mayan civilizations collapsed in isolation. But the scale of our communities is much larger, and our capacity for collapse is global. The only thing that�s growing faster than the evidence of our global culture�s effect on the environment is our capacity to deny it.

Ok so the contest is now closed and it's time to announce the winners!
I can't stress enough that this was an incredibly difficult decision. There are not enough words to convey that because it was. If I had more codes, you would all be walking away with your own mini Mr. Sparkles.
I was not prepared for how creative everyone is and then some of you threw puns in there, and it was all over! Sneaky, sneaky, knowing puns are one of my weaknesses!
Ok here we go!
First winner: Kym In A Can with her lovely mooseface mashup and use of real moose antlers (or what look like real antlers anyway)!
Second winner: Morten Jakobsen! Lovely composition of horse mask, gnome, GW1 Factions, aviators, and mooseface. Love it!
Third winner is: Andrew.4506 for his charming little video 😀 I really loved that.
I couldn't choose the last one so I assigned the remaining contestants numbers and threw them into a random number generator and the result is:
Our final winner is: IronFrogMan!
Again, this was a ridiculously close contest and I do have some runners up so if I can't get a hold of the winners right away, you might still get a code.
Thank you all SO MUCH!! I had an absolute blast and I wish I could give you all codes for this because I loved all of the submissions a lot.
Codes have been emailed to winners so check your email!!!!!
Also, I enjoyed this so much that I have created a mooseface Tumblr and would LOVE if you would all submit your submissions there so I could show others (or at least give me permission to submit them)!
Thank you all again!

Phoenix: The Lone French Breakout Band
Phoenix is the only French band to ever break out in the U.S. mainstream. They helped usher in the now-dominant wave of synth-driven rock, and their new album, "Bankrupt," comes out Tuesday. John Jurgensen reports.

Advertising BlurbsBack of Box - Amiga & DOS (1987 re-release):
In 1984, authoress Roberta Williams designed the original King's Quest to demonstrate the power and versatility of second generation computers. It became one of the industry's largest sellers. Hundreds of thousands of people have played the game - and loved it. Years later, it is still viewed as a cornerstone in the development of computer adventuring.
In answer to the popularity and critical acclaim of King's Quest, Roberta Williams has created King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne. Romancing the Throne carries on where King's Quest left off - both in pioneering technology and in enjoyable game play.
King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne takes the technologies initiated in the original King's Quest and refines them into an art form. "It's like playing an animated cartoon," claims Compute! magazine. The animation and music in the game are unparalleled in the realm of computer adventure.
In King's Quest II, Roberta Williams continues the saga of Graham, now King of the Land of Daventry. His quest is to rescue a princess locked away in a tower that is both miles and dimensions away. The adventure begins on a deserted beach, and will take the player to undersea worlds and into a vampire's castle. The answer to Graham's challenge lies behind a magic door and its three keys which unlock untold secrets.
Players of the original King's Quest will not be disappointed in this second installment of the King's Quest saga. Consumer Software News writes "if you liked King's Quest, you'll love the sequel." Computer Entertainment reports that "Roberta Williams has simply outdone herself" and the Questbusters journal says that King's Quest II has "the most lushly painted and highly detailed scenery seen since...well King's Quest I." By mixing the best elements of text adventures and arcade quality graphics, King's Quest II establishes a whole new standard in computer gaming by which future games will be judged.
Roberta Williams is designer of the King's Quest series. Over the last half decade, Roberta has worked closely with The Walt Disney Company and Jim Henson in the development of computer software. Her games have sold more copies than any other woman in computer software history.
(captions) Enter the castle and sleep chamber of an evil vampire.

Once upon a time, in a far-away land called Daventry, there ruled a King named Graham. A hero whose brave deeds had won him the crown, Graham ruled with a kind but firm hand, and the people of Daventry prospered under his reign.
One day while contemplating the loneliness that had come to consume him, King Graham was distracted by a vision in the magic mirror which he often consulted. In it he beheld the most beautiful maiden he had ever seen. His heart felt as though it was ablaze. "Oh mirror wise," he inquired, "Where am I to find this fair maiden whom I vow to make my queen?"
"The maiden Valanise of the kingdom of Kolyma is known for her wisdom no less than her beauty. The jealous witch Hagatha holds her prisoner in a quartz tower guarded by a wild and ferocious beast."
"Where is this tower to be found?" inquired the king.
"Search Kolyma for the keys that will unlock the three doors to an enchanted land," the mirror replied.
King Graham queried as to the whereabouts of the keys, but no more clues were forthcoming. Undaunted, he shouldered his provisions and set out on the long journey to Kolyma.
Go with King Graham, in search of the magic keys that will lead him to the fair maiden for whom he longs. Explore underground caverns, eerie towers, and ocean wonderlands.
Faced with challenges that would intimidate those of lesser timber, you must summon all the strength and courage you can muster. Your perseverance shall be rewarded handsomely.
Battle beings at whose very sight mere mortals cringe. Fear not, though. Remember, all that is right and good shall overcome. Besides, true love conquers all.
You will encounter characters both mythical and magical - out of legend, folklore, and fantasy. Be wise in our judgement of them, for not all will share the values which are important to you.

^To be honest, I think the episode and characters were good as it is. Dunno about being bland but tbh I can't see how comedy would fit into this series. '' Serious '' series once in a while isn't a bad thing.

The comedy comes from the banter between the characters rather than from any physical actions. Yakumo has a biting wit that he doesn't hesitate to use against Haruka or the cop, Gotou. Haruka doesn't say too many of her cutting thoughts out loud. (She's too well-bred for that.) But her reaction thoughts to Yakumo can be quite sarcastic. Meanwhile, Yakumo and Gotou have a running battle of wits whenever they meet. The episode gave us some pieces of the comic interplay. Sarcastic references to Yakumo as a cat. Gotou's hints about Yakumo finally almost getting a girlfriend. But there's a lot more banter that accompanies this case that was dropped due to episode time limits. In the novel and the manga, the case is still treated seriously, but there's more down time between the incidents that allows for more comic banter.

Well, I'm fine with series without the comedy. Though when I mean bland i mean Yakumo being that dark, cool guy with a heart of gold, and that's it about his character. As for Haruka...well... she's just that uninteresting.
That's my honest opinion, of course I'm just gonna continue watching to see what happens, maybe so the characters will grow on me.

Watched the first episode. "It's not too bad" is all the praise I can muster for this show as of episode 1. To be honest, I've yet to see a detective/mystery show I've liked where the word "Shinrei aka Psychic" is associated somewhere in the title. The different eye color to signify the main character's special traits adds to the dampener. The first ten minutes were still enjoyable. Unfortunately, the exposition of the mystery took a back seat to flesh out how awesome this dude with different eye color is. I feel we could have used a bit more concentration on the mystery itself so things like the motif behind why this guy was killing these girls could have come to picture.
I also think the fans of this show who are excited to see the anime adaptation lucked out when Bee Train became the Animation Production Company. They have couple of good series under their belt, but most of their productions ranges from average to below average in terms of their ability to bring a story in the animated format.
Anyway, it is still too early to make a valid impression about this show, so I'll certainly watch a few more episodes.

I keep expecting the scary, mysterious atmosphere from GH jumping out at me during the whole first episode of STY but that never came. I don't think this or any series to come will ever compare to GH's awesomeness but Yakumo eye-candy does make up for it. Anyway, I suppose it's too soon to judge...plus, with only 13 episodes, there isn't a whole lot of room for any serious plot development - which kind of sucks since this series has great potential to be a 26-episoder.

Watched this because a friend of mine brought up how I always whined about not having anymore Ghost Hunt and the manga's annual release schedule. He suggested checking out this title. My initial response was "lolbeetrain", but I thought I'd give it a go if it did anything to sate my hunger for some cool supernatural anime.
What I liked:
What I didn't like as much:
I could go on about how it is or isn't like GH, but this series should be left to stand on its own. It's proven that it can have a mix of mystery, the supernatural, and overall presentation is eye-catching. I wish I could figure out this fixation on heterochromia. I was under the impression that it was in our nature to prefer symmetry. Well, there's David Bowie. Nobody needs to really explain him.

I remember Locked Room in the manga was one of the weaker stories mystery wise since it set more on introducing Haruka and Yakumo to each other. Hoping hoping now thats aside, the mystery will get better. Looking forward to what hasnt been covered yet too

I don't see how comedy would fit here... I actually would prefer series being more dark. The soundtracks were a bit too happy for me, especially at the start. Though liked the one when sisters finally met again.
OP reminded me a mix of Phantom and Death Note OP but with happier melody.
But over all episode was fine, I'll stick with the series.
P.S. When second guy with red eyes got introduced, Code Geass popped in my head.

Not a bad first episode, it actually concluded a little intro story of sorts, all the other shows this season just end in a "To be Continued.."
though, there is that one last scene with the guy with two red eyes. I'm curious how deep the super-natural aspects will go for this series.

I have to agree with others. I really wanted to like this, but "bland" was pretty much the only word i could think to describe this after watching the first episode.
Though perhaps it had something to do with watching Star Driver right before this...

This is a good show would have been better if there was more supernatural to it . Overall better than I expected but still there is quite some room for improvement . The teaser of the second episode looks promising hope more occult in it than detective work .

Kevin Duffy: Ollie faced with difficult call on Wolf
STORRS -- I can't sit here and unequivocally tell you that Enosch Wolf should be tossed from school. I can't tell you he shouldn't, either.
I can, however, tell you that Wolf's indefinite suspension compounds a short-term problem -- How does a thin frontcourt respond when it becomes even thinner? -- with a much greater, long-term one: How does coach Kevin Ollie, who has publicly voiced intentions of "building special men, not just basketball players," deal with a junior center who allegedly grabbed the hair of a woman and "pushed her head?"
"I'm not going to make a comment on Enosch's situation," Ollie said Tuesday. "We're going to let the legal process take care of itself."
Wolf goes to court Wednesday morning on charges of burglary in the third degree, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. Hours later, UConn hosts sixth-ranked Syracuse at the XL Center, perhaps the final matchup in one of the Big East's most storied rivalries. The overachieving Huskies -- stuck in the middle of the pack -- sit two games behind Syracuse, the conference leader at 8-2.
This isn't David Robinson suspended, but losing a 7-footer -- especially one who has outplayed the starter, Tyler Olander -- doesn't help with 'Cuse coming to town. Ollie and the Huskies have mastered the art of finding ways to gut out wins. Against the Orange, they'll have to do exactly that. Ollie doesn't have any magical formula or wild strategy to cure the loss of his back-up center. Just simple logic.
"There's no more waiting (for freshman Phil Nolan)," Ollie said. "He's going to learn through experience."
As for Olander, he'll have to "take it to another level." Ollie said he believes that Olander can "get double-doubles," a milestone that no Husky has hit this year.
"To get that, it takes massive action by him," Ollie said. "¦ Hopefully he understands that we're going to need him to step up and have some big games going down the stretch here with eight games, I believe, left in our season."
This one against Syracuse is the biggest. The Orange is rolling, fresh off a 16-point waxing of Notre Dame and a 19-point throttling of St. John's. Once down to seven scholarship players, Syracuse -- considered a legit title contender -- recently welcomed back 3-point threat James Southerland, who missed nearly a month due to an academic issue.
With Syracuse and UConn, such issues have commonly flared up. The Huskies, of course, are ineligible for the postseason because of poor academic marks. Just last spring, Syracuse center Fab Melo missed the NCAA tournament due to academic suspension. Since Ben Gordon allegedly slapped a female student in 2003, eight UConn players have been arrested. Earlier this year, Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams was caught shoplifting from a local mall. Back in 2008, Syracuse's Eric Devendorf hit a female student in the face. A judicial hearing board initially recommended that the guard be suspended for the remainder of the academic year. But the punishment was later reduced to 40 hours of community service, which Devendorf swiftly completed, missing just two games.
The precedent for student-athletes and domestic violence isn't a pretty one: Former Oregon running back LaMichael James, for example, missed only one game after he was arrested for allegedly grabbing his girlfriend's neck in 2010. It seems athletes' blunders are often swept under the rug.
My hunch is that Enosch Wolf will not get the Devendorf treatment. He shouldn't, anyway. But I don't see a clear-cut solution, either.
I believe in accountability. When it comes to criminal matters, athletes shouldn't be let off the hook any easier than average students. So if Wolf was found guilty and UConn wanted to kick him to the curb, I wouldn't object. The program needs to clean up its image, and Wolf's actions -- if true -- merit more than a slap on the wrist.
But I also strongly believe in second chances.
So if UConn wanted to suspend Wolf for the remainder of the season and legitimately help him improve his life -- whether it be anger management or alcohol class (if that did indeed play a role in the 5:55 a.m. arrest) -- that would be appropriate, too.
It's a difficult decision, no doubt, one that looms much larger than the frontcourt dilemma Ollie faces against C.J. Fair, Southerland and Syracuse.
In the rookie coach's bio on the UConn website, Ollie says, "It's not about Xs and Os, it's not about winning and losing, it's about these men becoming special people. When they leave here, judge me on that."
This incident gives us the first opportunity to judge. And it really isn't an easy call.

Bahamas tigers and great hammers, 3/27-4/4, 2005
Posted 08 July 2004 - 08:13 PM
To confirm your spot, please send in your deposit - the trip is filling fast. If we don't have your deposit, then your spot may be given away to someone else, so get that in soon.
Hey guys. I've just finished looking through some images taken by Jim Abernethy at a new tiger shark location in the Bahamas, and I am SO EXCITED to get out there. We're going out there next week briefly on the Wetpixel sharks and dolphins trip, but to really get the best images of tiger sharks, you have to anchor there for longer, go at the right time, and bring lots of bait. During winter and spring of 2004, it was not uncommon to have upwards of 15-20 tiger sharks and 10 lemon sharks in the water at the same time.
The dates have been confirmed for departure on Sunday, Mar 27 and return on Monday, Apr 4, 2005. Price is $2,650, including all diving, air, meals, and drinks. Nitrox and Bahamian taxes are charged separately.
The trip will be limited to 8 participants, and as usual we will try to get some demo equipment based on the needs of the guests.
If you are interested, please let me know via e-mail (my name at wetpixel.com) or on this forum topic. Same rules apply: do not apply unless you are ok with baiting sharks in to take their photograph.
