E. Michal Gayer
Volume 3
"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert." (Isaiah 35:5-6)
"And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." (Revelation 22:1-2)
In every church where we minister the subject of divine healing is of paramount importance, yet many people are still in the dark as to understanding very much about Biblical healing. It is so very important that the healing message be planted to help people see that divine healing is not a side issue in Christian belief. It is not a nice "add on" or an extra "religious option." Quite the opposite is true. Healing is an integral part of who God the Father is, who Jesus the Son is and who the Holy Spirit is. In fact, healing is intimately linked to who we are as believers and to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As it turns out, healing from God runs like a beautiful stream from Genesis through the book of Revelation. As a matter of fact, every book of the Bible, without exception, in one way or another teaches about God healing people! While this isn't difficult to understand or grasp, a problem, exists concerning the acquiring of essential information about Biblical healing because when you delve into the Biblical study, you soon discover that pertinent information must be drawn from the entirety of the Bible and pulled together meaningfully in order to understand it fully. This necessity to carefully integrate divine healing into the whole of Biblical understanding presents many complexities and unique problems. Because of this, many preachers and teachers refuse the arduous task and by default do not teach about healing. The end result is that many believers are left in the dark uninformed and unaware concerning this important subject.
The failure of many to pursue a thorough understanding of divine healing does not reduce the vital role divine healing plays. Healing has been and always will be an integral part of the working of God among people and as such is a vital part of Christianity deserving great proclamation in the church. Second only to the good news of salvation from sin, as secured through the supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ at the cross, is the provision that God has made, also secured at the cross by Jesus Christ, to heal our bodies and minds. In fact, every time we proclaim, "Jesus saves!" we can shout with equal fervor that, "Jesus heals!" One very important fact then concerning divine healing is that healing is a major truth and a majestic reality in God's plan of things from the beginning of time and it needs to be understood, proclaimed and taught. Teaching this profound truth is one of the critical missions of today's church. We dare not let the wondrous healing stream of Jesus Christ dry up in our hearts.

Canon has boosted its online digital imaging training resources following feedback from resellers.
The vendor has launched a new module around its DiG!C camera technology and has updated the module on its Pixma printing range. Both are accessible to registered resellers via Canon's online e-Learning Centre.
Canon's Consumer Imaging Products Group training manager, Heidi Newbery, said the increased focus on training was the result of reseller requests for more consistency.
"The modules now match DiG!C and Pixma advertising, contain greater explanation around the technology and are more interactive, so resellers can do things like sales scenario role-playing," she said.
Having both Pixma and DiG!C modules also meant resellers were now able to convey a complete story around digital imaging in the home, Newbery added.
"Customers prefer to purchase from resellers who know their products," she said. "Hopefully, training modules like these will help those resellers increase repeat business."
To further encourage resellers to complete the new training, Canon was also offering prizes including an IP4000 printer and an A520 digital still camera, Newbery said. While she would not be drawn on the content of future modules, she said a review of the current training would occur in the fourth quarter.

Transhumanism : Evolutionary Futurism and the Human Technologies of Utopia - (Paperback)
About this item
Transhumanism posits that humanity is on the verge of rapid evolutionary change as a result of emerging technologies and increased global consciousness. However, this insight is dismissed as a naive and controversial reframing of posthumanist thought, having also been vilified as "the most dangerous idea in the world" by Francis Fukuyama. In this book, Andrew Pilsch counters these critiques, arguing instead that transhumanism's utopian rhetoric actively imagines radical new futures for the species and its habitat.
Pilsch situates contemporary transhumanism within the longer history of a rhetorical mode he calls "evolutionary futurism" that unifies diverse texts, philosophies, and theories of science and technology that anticipate a radical explosion in humanity's cognitive, physical, and cultural potentialities. By conceptualizing transhumanism as a rhetoric, as opposed to an obscure group of fringe figures, he explores the intersection of three major paradigms shaping contemporary Western intellectual life: cybernetics, evolutionary biology, and spiritualism. In analyzing this collision, his work traces the belief in a digital, evolutionary, and collective future through a broad range of texts written by theologians and mystics, biologists and computer scientists, political philosophers and economic thinkers, conceptual artists and Golden Age science fiction writers. Unearthing the long history of evolutionary futurism, Pilsch concludes, allows us to more clearly see the novel contributions that transhumanism offers for escaping our current geopolitical bind by inspiring radical utopian thought.

All of the sparkly goodness from last night's Oscar awards reminded me of how much fun a little (or a lot) of shine can be! Alas, such things are not so ready-to-wear...or are they?!? Perhaps not to the extent of being red carpet ready but designers from Chanel, Armani, Theory, and Reed Krakoff have exhibited a subtler sequin Spring look this season.
According to InStyle magazine the sea seems to be a major influence with an abundance of iridescent and opalescent fabrics, so take your cues from that, choosy pearly colors and simple, flowing lines. Stick to the "less is more" mantra, one shiny piece is enough. Most importantly,remember that while shimmer is acceptable 24/7, what you wear, where is still important.

Want a wardrobe upgrade but don't want to wait for it? Well, the future is here. Or, at least really, really fast shipping is. Welcome to What to Wear in Two Days, our guide to getting a full outfit overhaul in 48 hours, thanks to Amazon Fashion's speedy delivery system. Up today: the weekend kit made for transitional weather.
What You Need:
Why It Works:
Any guy who lives in a four season climate knows the drill: winter is winding down and it's not really spring yet, so getting dressed on Saturday morning turns into a guessing game of what gear could pass as seasonally appropriate. Well, we're here to help. The key to acing weekend style when the temperature's still below fifty but there's no snow in sight is to be a master at layering. That means piling on the right layers so you can peel them off as needed, whether the sun comes out or you just hit up an aggressively heated coffee shop. And for our money (and yours) the it's the simpler wardrobe essentials that work best for it. We're talking a colorful graphic tee, neutral colored hoodie, and essential washed denim jacket up top, some heavy duty work pants down below. Top it all off—literally—with a minimalist-leaning bi-color baseball hat (we lose heat through the top of our heads, too) that pulls the whole look together. After that, you just have to remember to enjoy the hell out of being away from the office.

AirPort as an extender for cisco router but with different encryption
I am trying to get my apple tv 3 to work with my universities wpa2 enterprise authentication with no success. I am thinking of getting an airport express, plugging it into the ethernet outlet that the cisco wireless currently uses, to retransmit wifi in a lower encryption and thus works with the apple tv. If I plug the airport express into the ethernet outlet will it be able to retransmit the wifi with a lower encryption or will it just retransmit in the wpa2 enterprise again.

I will always be a policy wonk at heart. There is an idea coming out of England known as "pay-as-you-save" where homeowners would pay off a retrofit loan with the money they save on energy due to the retrofitting.
Sounds easy doesnt it?
Here is how it works:
Joe buys a house. Joe finds out that by spending $5 000 retro-fitting his home, he can save 20$ a month. That is 240$ a year. Within 21 years, Joe would be saving money. However, Joe doesnt know if he will own his house in 21 years, so retrofitting the house just is not worth the risk. The "pay-as-you-save" loan takes the savings from retro-fitting the home and applies them to the loan. If Joe sells the house, he also sells the loan. After the loan is paid off, the house's value increases as it is energy efficient. If Joe has the need to move, he sells the loan with the house.
The British Plan requires banks to provide these loans. However, I personally don't see the issue with Environment Canada putting up the money. Let's face it, these are micro-loans. While the full costs for retro-fitting a home can be up to $20 000, some measures costs a little as a few hundred dollars. This is money that is directly injected into the economy that is 100% guaranteed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions because less energy is spent. It may be the most direct way to turn money into reduced emissions while helping kickstart the green economy that Canada needs to be a part of.
The department needs to put up a website that is interactive. On that website, homeowners can find out what changes can be made and how much money these changes would save them. The homeowners can then make a decision as to what changes need to be made and how much these changes cost, depending on the region. Estimates are made and submitted for approval for a "pay-as-you-save" loan. Payment is determined by the amount of money that is expected to be saved on each energy bill.
Now to rebut a few arguments:
Anthony, this will require a huge bureaucracy to manage.
If consumers are choosing from government approved options, the loan approvals are pretty much automatic, provided a simple credit check is performed. The Canadian government has been managing loans for students and businesses for years. This is not a novel concept.
Anthony, what prevents people from taking the money and using it to buy a new car?
As the estimates themselves are approved by the department loan officer, the contractors can bill the government directly for the amount they estimated and are legally bound to do the work once they bill the government. This is also less headaches for the homeowners as well.
Anthony, what about people with new homes?
Getting this work done in new homes is far less expensive. However, I do not see how the extra cost cannot be used to apply for a pay-as-you-save loan to help alleviate some of the mortgage on the original cost of the home. Think of it as an incentive to get off to a good start.
I am open to other suggestions and questions. I am not proposing it to any particular party like some of my other blogging friends, like Scott who sent me the article over the weekend.
This is a good idea. It will help Canadians. It will help the economy. It will help combat greenhouse gas emissions.
Who knows? If this works, maybe pay-as-you-save loans can be applied to hybrid cars to bridge the extra cost, with savings at the pump applied for the first couple of years.

Oscar Night 2006
Last night, some friends of mine held their annual Oscar Night party. Recently, at their annual Superbowl party, I volunteered to provide the food for last night's wingding, and I came up with a menu that I thought would keep everyone happy.
I didn't want to get too fancy, yet I wanted to impress, so I chose pierogies, chicken quesadillas, a really nice recipe for seared tuna loin, and Death By Chocolate which I had made for previous parties and was a request from several of the partygoers.
I had made the Death By Chocolate, the quesadillas and the pierogies at least once before, but I had never made the tuna recipe, so I was a little nervous about that one.
I'll start with the pierogies, as I have mostly covered my misadventures in a former post. As related in "Happiness Is A Warm Pierogi", that first batch came out perfectly, or certainly as well as could be expected for a first attempt. This gave me confidence going into the second attempt, and yet, the best laid plans and all that... well, the result was some tasty, yet remarkably ugly-looking pierogies. First of all, I doubled the recipe, and ended up making about 100 of the suckers over the course of a Friday evening about a week ago. However, since I didn't need all of them right away, I decided cook up about half of them, and to freeze the rest for the party. What I didn't know, was that I should have laid out the pierogies on a cookie sheet in the freezer and actually let them freeze before putting them in the Ziploc baggie. This finally did occur to me when the second batch was ready for the freezer, but by that point the first bag was a solid pierogi log. Yeesh. I made an initial attempt to separate them, but all I ended up doing was breaking some of them in pieces. So I decided to just leave them, and worry about it when the time came to cook them. So, just to recap, Bag 1 contained a big log comprised of about 36 pierogies, and Bag 2 contained about 17 individually frozen pierogies.
When the time came to boil them up, I had placed Bag 1 in the fridge overnight to attempt to loosen the log somewhat, and it actually worked - to a point. I managed to get most of the pierogies saparated, except for a few that were completely fused together, and several that just fell apart. No matter, I still had about 40 viable pierogies, so from there I was cruising. I boiled them all up, and placed them in a sealed container to be fried up at my friends' place. Done and done.
The tuna loin seemed deceptively easy to prepare. The recipe was courtesy of Alton Brown from his show Good Eats. It involves marinading the tuna overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, honey and wasabi, then rolling the tuna in sesame seeds, and cooking it in a very hot pan for about 30 seconds per side. The idea is to sear the outside of the tuna, and leave it rare through the middle. Simple, right? Well, the marinading went according to plan, but I over-cooked the tuna just slightly. OK, I cooked the tuna right through. It didn't end up mattering that much, as it still tasted amazing and everyone seemed to like it, but I was disappointed with myself.
The quesadillas, on the other hand, turned out beautifully. The recipe is adapted from one I found in the Toronto Sun newspaper of all places, in an insert concerning Superbowl snacks. This recipe is just the way I like them - really simple, and really tasty. Here's the recipe:
Ian's Three Cheese Chicken Quesadillas
Makes 16-24 wedges
* 8 8-inch tortillas
* 500 g (1 lb.) chicken breasts
* 150g (5 oz) marble cheese, grated
* 150g (5 oz) mozzarella cheese, grated
* 150g (5 oz) smoked gouda cheese, grated
* 1/2 a large onion, sliced
* Honey mustard
* Crushed chili flakes
* Vegetable oil
* Freshly ground pepper
1) Place four of the tortillas on a large baking tray, and spread some mustard on each one.
2) Fry onions with a sprinkling of the chili flakes in a skillet with a little oil until golden brown. Drain and set aside.
3) Brown chicken in skillet until cooked through. Shred with two forks and set aside.
4) Divide the cheese, onions and chicken evenly between the four tortillas. Season with pepper to taste.
5) Cover each with the remaining tortillas and gently press them together.
6) Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadillas one at a time to the skillet and cook until tortillas are a crispy golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 1 - 1½ minutes per side.
7) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Cut each quesadilla into four or six wedges, and serve with guacamole and sour cream.
Now for the dessert. I got the recipe for Death By Chocolate from my mother - thanks, Mom! As I stated above, I have made this many times, always to rave reviews. And it's so simple to make. Very little actual cooking is involved, the tricky part is in the assembly. Here we go.
Death By Chocolate
* 2 packages (4 envelopes) Dream Whip, or other whipped dessert topping
* 2 packages Oetker Double Chocolate Mousse
* 1 large Chocolate Brownie mix (I used Double Chocolate Supreme)
* 4 Skor chocolate bars, crushed
* 1 225g bag of Chocolate Clodhoppers, crushed
* 1 225g bag of Vanilla Clodhoppers, crushed
* 1/3C liqueur (I used Amarula, but have used Kahlua, Frangelico, etc.)
* 2 C + 2 C cold milk (for the Dream Whip and chocolate mousse)
1) Prepare the Dream Whip, the chocolate mousse and the brownies as per package instructions.
2) When the brownies come out of the oven, prick all over with a fork and pour the liqueur over the top. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to let the liqueur soak in.
3) Mix together the crushed Skor bars and clodhoppers in a bowl.
4) Break up the brownies with a fork, making a loose pile.
5) Assemble the dessert in layers in a trifle bowl (or other large dessert bowl) as follows:
* Half of the brownies
* Half of the chocolate mousse
* Half of the Chocolate bar mixture
* Half of the Dream Whip
Repeat, and top with shaved semi-sweet chocolate OR chocolate chips
It should look something like this:
*NOTE* A trifle bowl, as called for in the recipe, is narrow with high sides, but the bowl I used is shallower with a wider bottom, so I had to adjust the quantities somewhat. One batch of brownies just won't stretch far enough for two separate layers, so if you're planning to use a bowl with a wider bottom, I would suggest making 2 batches of brownies, and using one for each layer. Same with the candy bars. The original recipe called for only 8 Skor bars, but I found that that was insufficient for two good-sized layers.
This dessert is something else, and if you're jonesing for your chocolate fix, I can't think of a better way to get it.
The food all went over very well, and although I spent my entire Sunday in the kitchen and was beat by the end of the party, I was happy with the results. More importantly, so were my friends.

My little adventure cut short. I had to revert to my original design because of some bugs in new design.
I'm officially a fan of Andreas Viklund, 26-year-old Swedish blog designer whose theme I used for this new look and feel. I've been scouring the web for simple and easy to navigate designs. Apparently, I was led to Andreas' blog, which contains more free themes. Thank you to people like Andreas who are willing to share their creative efforts. Kudos;-)
Apparently Andreas also loves to create music, and has a list of them here.

Recent reviews
Good 7.8 From 115 reviews
Overall this was a nice place to stay for a quick night and trying to be budget conscious. I liked this a little more than the typical capsule hotel because you get a little personal space in addition to the sleeping area, with a little desk and area to put luggage or hang things. My main complaints about this place are two-fold. One is a few of the others guests were really loud and seemed unaware that the sound traveled easily. At 2am two guys outside my "room" were having a normal volume discussion in Japanese as if they were in their own hotel room or something. My other complaint is the beds are extremely uncomfortable because they are basically pieces of foam on a wood board/frame. The foam/mattress is very soft so you are basically sleeping on a wood board. If they used Japanese futons the beds would be much nicer. It seems like they considered everything else but didn't leave enough budget for the mattresses.
Staying at Global Cabin Gotanda was a rewarding experience. This cabin is not only a bed style cabin, you also have privacy and enough room for yourself. The cabin is clean and spacious. The facilities are impeccable polished and well organized. The public bath in the eighth floor is a traditional Japanese bath. They provide all the necessary toiletries and clothes to make your staying more pleasant. The only negative aspect about this place is the check in time, which is 5:00 pm. They also ask you to leave the cabin from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. If you don't mind that I would highly recommend this place if you want to experience a cabin. Btw, the morning smoothie is delicious and it is made of real fruit.
clean and got all i needed. only bad point cannot do late checkout
I liked it. The walls don't go all the way to the ceiling and the door doesn't lock, but there is an in-room safe and in order to access your floor you need to use your keycard in two different ways. I could hear other folks getting ready for the day in the morning, but seeing as I was also awake, it wasn't an issue. I wanted a cheap bed and I felt safe enough. I got what I wanted.
The set-up of this place is a higher-end hybrid of capsule hotels and newer places that have compact rooms. Bathrooms and amenity areas are shared, and there is a men's only soaking pool on the top floor. Everything is absolutely immaculate ad virtually brand new. The beds are offset capsules stacked above each other, but with entrances on opposite sides (not at the ends). And next to each capsule entrance, you get a small space that contains a desk and hangers for your clothes. So each guest gets a private space comprising of either an upper or lower capsule, plus workspace next to it. An accordion screen folds across the doorway for complete privacy. Lots of amenities are provided - premium toiletries in the common wash up area, branded pajamas, a chest of ice packs and mini cooler bags to keep your drinks cold, coin laundry, vending machines, common area space to hang out in, and umbrellas at the door for you to borrow as needed. There's no breakfast nor a cafe, but there is automated coffee and self-serve smoothies (persimmon carrot and green tea coconut) in the morning. There is a lock-out period for clean-up between 10am and 5pm, so you can't be in the sleeping or bathing areas during then, plus you have to return the key each day, even if you are coming back that night. A little odd, but no problem in practice. Staff were helpful (but not cheerful), and I was happy with everything during my stay.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) (Golden, CO) released Building a Business Case for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in Fleet Applications — a report to help readers assess the various aspects of a new CNG vehicle and fueling infrastructure project to determine viability.
The publication details an enhanced version of a previous online modeling tool developed by NREL — the Vehicle Infrastructure and Cash-Flow Evaluation (VICE) model — that helps businesses and fleets evaluate the financial soundness of CNG vehicle and CNG fueling infrastructure projects. The tool, VICE 2.0, can now help assess projects to acquire vehicles and infrastructure, or to acquire vehicles only.
VICE 2.0 offers users robust visual and reporting enhancements, including graphic images of return on investment, cumulative cash flow, and payback periods. It also calculates petroleum displacement (annual and cumulative) and annual greenhouse gas reductions, and displays them based on the fleet's specific attributes. The publication features an overview of VICE 2.0 and the default values for such factors as investment type, tax exemption status for fuel, and operations and incentives for base-case vehicles. In addition, the report addresses profitability and its sensitivity to parameters such as fuel cost and vehicle miles traveled.
The report and model are especially beneficial to fleets that are well-suited to using CNG, such as those with routes that start and end in the same location and are therefore able to refuel at a central location.

Linkadoos, are fun for me and you
Written on February 6, 2006 by Kevin.
There are many things that you come across that seem to work great on a newborn and some that certainly do not. Some of the things that work, you would possibly never think they would work as well as they do.
We initially purchased a set of Fisher Price links to help keep toys attached to the car seat. We quickly found out that these are one of Rylan's favorite toys. Our collection has now turned into over 55 different links from different companies. Luckily though, these links all seem to link well enough to work. The Winnie the Pooh links we picked up at Babies-R-Us unfortunately are designed very loosely so they pull apart easily. In fact, all of the links pull apart pretty easily. I imagine this is designed with a reason, as to not injure a child. Of course it may be to annoy the parents as well.
Now let me explain why we have so many of these links. Dirt. Because they can sometimes become unlinked, they have a tendency of falling on the ground. Regardless of what the links may have fallen on, or even how long, we decide to put them aside for cleaning, while we just give Rylan a new bunch. The links seem to be working great for hand/mouth coordination as well as helping him with his teething. He will gnaw on these until he drops it and then gives us a lovely cry to let us know what happened.
The links in themselves I don't think are really sold as toys, but as links to add other toys too. Fisher Price has a few different toys that link up with these as well as other companies have similar designs. We have a Learn-Along Leap toy that easily attaches to these links and keeps Rylan entertained. A more extensive review of the Learn-Along Leap will be around some day.
All in all, I am pleased with these links. They are such a basic item that give a variety of things to do with them. It turns out that Rylan enjoys to teeth on them and just wave them around the most. For us, its a way to keep him entertained while we need to get some chores done.

The fire said to have started from his bedroom virtually burnt down the palatial house of the troubled minister!
The Asokoro residence of the Minister caught fire on Sunday evening.
It was gathered that security personnel and some first responders on the ground at the time of the incident were able to put off the fire, even as sources said that Kachikwu was not at home when the fire broke out.
"The minister's residence located on the outskirts of Asokoro was gutted by fire which was caused by an electrical fault in a part of the building.
"However, the important thing is that it is not a serious incident, it only affected a part of the building and I think it was his room.
"And like I said earlier, it was due to an electrical problem in the apartment. There is a police post close to the estate and their presence there was also instrumental", a source said.
The were presence of armed mobile security officers along the road leading to the exquisite estate where the minister resides and officers must clear visitors to the estate before they are granted access into the area.
Ibe Kachikwu has been enmeshed in controversy following his revelations and open letter to president Buhari of shady deals in NNPC and gross insubordination of the NNPC GMD, Baru.

The 'In spie of it all, I'm actually very much looking forward to Terminator: Salvation' Thread.
Yeah yeah yeah...McG, Bale is a psycho, derivative, franchise stretched beyond breaking point, the Pizza Hut cross marketing effort contains TOO MUCH MEAT (there is such a thing), Arnie isn't in it (well, not properly), cash cow blah blah blah.......
...but, humans fighting killer robots in the charred remains of the Los Angeles (and greater SoCal) of the near future? Maximum win on every level.
Fucking Skynet. My netbook is already self aware.
but didn't they destroy Skynet?
how can this be?
Don't enter logic into the equation!
You are required to check your brain in upon entering the cinema.
but surely his mum would recognise him after he'd grown up
also, when Calvin Klein came to prominence surely she's see something fishy. Does not compute
Paradox Alert! Paradox Alert!
Studio is aiming this movie at audience bereft of brain. Unable to check brain in at box office if not in possession of one. Does not compute Does not computeEeEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! *blows fuse and starts stumbling around even more laughably than Arnie in Terminator 3*
dont think they did
they destroyed the terminator arm from terminator 1 in terminator 2 which meant that couldnt copy it to make skynet technology, but it skynet was inevitable so happened anyway in terminator 3 which ended on a bleak note. Im looking forward to it too, future terminator dominated world, how could it be bad
having sat through terminator 3 again last night
Connor's monologue at the end offers the explanation that skynet, having taken over much of the computerised world, was artificially aware software rather than robotic hardware spawned from the terminator arm.
also throughout there's a theme that judgment day is inevitable and the repeated time traveling interference from the future resistance only succeeded in delaying/temporarily interrupting the events that would lead to it.
or y'know, whatever other semi-plausible McG shits out to excuse another round of milking.
thing is though, given all that that, Skynet launching a huge nuclear attack makes no sense
so skynet is on computers all around the world, in dorm rooms and offices and whatever? a nuclear attack against human cities on the scale shown probably wouldn't leave many offices or dorm rooms intact. oh, right, and power grids and stuff.
also, how would a sentient AI be able to build robots if it's just nuked the shit out of most of the planet, and thus the industrial capacity?
actually, i guess it made no sense in the first place.
yeah that bit (still) makes little sense
especially when t3 shows the militarized robots in a developmental phases, whereas the whole post-judgement day situation would, I would guess, rely on a sizable robot force in place, turning on mankind
but even then how would said force communicate after the bombs had rained down?
out of McG's arse comes Skynet sitting on a satellite somewhere while the fallout dissipates, before bouncing back to earth and taking over a production facility that miraculously survived the blasts, or something
more and more arnie's thumb disappearing into the lava sums up the series. down down down it goes.
in the programme it explains a lot of this. the robots also used the time travel machines to send robots back in time to stockpile the metal they need and to build robots for immediate use when the time came.
watching T3 last night made me so happy. god it was brilliant. i love that film.
It made more sense originally
when it was supposed to be running away from being shut down by people realising it was self-aware: the only option open to it.
But in T3 it's just like they decide to launch all the nukes...
I thought the point was
It had become self aware before it was put in charge, and spread itself as a virus, shutting down systems precipitating it being put in control of defence.
Most power plants and industry are outisde of towns now, and are almost completely computerised and given the robots were already in production it just carried on.
ALSO: it's a film in which robots travel back in time.
I liked T3, yeah the self parodying got a bit much, but I liked the bleak ending. I also like time travel actually being shown properly - i.e if history had of changed none of the events of the films would've taken place.
I watched that again last night and i liked it
yes, there may be bad bits in it but it still has a good dose of awesome in it.
yeah I was watching the trailers
I want to see it, even though it looks a bit crap. Also: robots, action sequences, etc, look good (from what I've seen, which is admittedly very little)
As well as the Pizza Hut tie-in does anyone else think that the kid's comic with the free robotic arm is a bit OTT? I know kids love guns and stuff but I thought it was a bit... um... like how the Alien of (vs Predator fame) is no longer *that* scary because you can buy cuddly toys of it in forbidden planet? is there a tickle-me-terminator on the way?
All of it takes away from the film which looks obvious, subtle as a brick and very silly but very very enjoyable indeed. I think anyone that's seen the trailers can work out the plot and twist already but it doesn't take way from the sheer specatcle of it :)

Drs Krakowski and Eichenfeld pointed out that based on these new understandings of AD pathogenesis, an emphasis of therapy has been on barrier repair. Novel barrier repair creams can be used as adjuncts to conventional topical therapies, such as corticosteroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors, or as long-term maintenance therapy.
One of the most promising agents in these creams is palmitamide MEA, or palmitoylethanolamide. There are a number of such protective and reparative creams available, with varying concentrations of PMEA in these creams, for instance 0,3% PMEA in Physiogel (Stiefel) up to 1,5% PMEA in PEA cream (Russell Science).
There have been a number of clinical trials published since 2005 on the efficacy and safety of PEA creams, and all these trial results point out that PEA containing creams:
1. Reduce itching, redness, edema and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis,
2. Reduce the necessity to use high potent corticosteroid creams,
3. Decrease the chances of flare-ups,
4. Increase the symptom-free intervals between ecxacerbations/ aggravation of eczema,
5. Protect against skin damage induced by UV light and radiation during treatment of cancer
PMEA, or PEA, is a natural fat present in our skin and its function is protection of keratinocytes and other skin-cells against all kinds of damage and repair such damage. In skin which is chronically stressed, such as in atopic eczema/dermatitis and skin after chronic radiation, the amount of PEA is reduced. By applying PEA containing cream, one can replenish the skin with this remarkable natural fatty compound and start the process of reparation and protection.

I was just doing a Google search to see if my new "meta tag" is working, and I stumbled upon a fascinating tidbit. Someone before me actually created Narnia in HER attic for her kids! Here's a link to Jill Tupper's blog. There's only this one post describing Jill's Narnia, but now I know I'm not the only one crazy enough to do this!
One thing I'm definitely doing differently–no furs in the wardrobe! As a ferret lover, I can't stand to think of ermine and mink; and while I'm not a fan of foxes, I still don't want a dead one hanging in my grandkids' play room! But I have been saving dress-up clothes for a long time, and the ones that won't fit in the wardrobe will go in an antique travel trunk cum treasure chest. I'm sure I can find a down jacket (ducks don't have to die to give down) somewhere as a stand-in for the furs. Ideas are always percolating, and I'm sure Jill's blog will give me some more!

What was it like for Mary to see the infant eyes of Emmanuel open on the world He came to save? The One who watched as the universe came into being now stared into the darkness of a winter night. And in that sacred moment, Jehovah God loved us through a baby's gaze. All the love of redemption's plan was in the eyes of a newborn, unfulfilled, yet present.
Thirty-three years later, Jesus looked down from a cross and loved us. Mary was there for both events. She had witnessed Jesus' journey from newborn King to divine sacrifice. And on that day at Golgotha,as she looked into eyes filled with unutterable love, yet clouded with suffering, she must have remembered that night so long ago when she first saw in an infant's countenance the hope of all mankind. Yes, He loved us from the Cross, but He loved us first from the manger.

It's a Jenome Horizon Memory Craft 7700 QCP Sewing Machine.
It features the large 11 inch x 7.4 inch work space. It's complete with all kinds of bells and whistles and Yes, it's a BOY!
Yes, you heard me it's a boy for me! I always refer to myself as being a 'blue girlz' because frankly I'd rather play in the dirt, clean gutters and hanging with the guys.
Pink is most definitely note my fav color (albeit I have some gal pals that love pink, and I am happy for them, but no so much for me). I like blue.
I wanted to originally call him Brutus, because it's loaded with features, he's got some weight behind him, and he's a brute (referring to me because I was joking telling my husband that I was planning on using "brute force" if necessary to figure out how to eventually quilt a 'king size' quilt in my large 11inch neck opening).
But I am now reconsidering my name in that Brutus doesn't mean strong, dependable or even reliable. Boo Hoo. According to what I could find, it means, 'dull, stupid.' Well to heck with this, as I don't want a dull needle or a stupid machine. I've had those types of machines before, and considering how long it took me to save, and then ultimately go purchase my new beautiful boy, I want it called something exciting. I'll have to put my thinking cap on.
My husband suggests, "the beast." Hmm.... it's growing on me! Yes I said, that's it, "The Beast"..
Meet "The Beast" weighing in at 22 kg, featuring the AcuFeed System complete with dual feed foot, 250 stitches including 11 buttonholes, 3 monogramming fonts, and much more.
I purchased the table that "the beast" will fit into for more work space (quilting table space) and the roller travel bag.
I am so very very very, did I say VERY excited and shall start to play with him tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted...how I make out... stay tuned....
Thanks for sharing in my excitement.
Deb, and "The Beast"

Happy December and Happy GratiTuesday! Since I posted on Thursday last week, this week's list will be a little shorter. This week I'm thankful for:
- Good girlfriends! Thanks especially to Kelly for breaking away and coming over for a long visit last night after the kids were in bed. Couch time with friends is the best therapy sometimes.
- This weather! I can't believe it's December 1st and I don't have to take a coat with me.
- Our Christmas decorations! Our house looks very festive inside and out.
- My friend Jancy, who exhibits a great amount of patience and enthusiasm when taking our family's photos. We spent some time with her on Friday taking snapshots for our Christmas card. I haven't seen any of them yet, but I'll post some when I get them. (Also, she's a steal! If you need any photos taken, let me know and I'll connect you with her!)
- My husband, who didn't flip out when I told him I wanted to throw the boys' beds out the window. (They're so big and impossible to change the sheets on! We made a big mistake when we chose the mattresses--unfortunately, it might be an expensive mistake, too.)

Grrr.. had to miss class because of a late flight.
Walked in and Ryan said, "it's like a long, drawn out Fran." Not good.
Most L-PUs were kipped.
I did "Stephen" on Monday, and it was a tough WOD on the hamstrings. No matter how much I've stretched, they are so, so tight – felt them with every step today – yeouch! Rest day for me. Be back tomorrow.

The Day Everything Went in Reverse
The Backward Day By Ruth Krauss Illustrated by Marc Simont The New York Review, 30 pages, $14.95
For some reason, young children get an absurd kick out of doing things backward, or spelling words backward, or otherwise behaving contrariwise for comic effect. This can be charming, but it can pretty quickly get tedious, too, as any parent will attest who has ever tried to get a straight answer out of a bunch of gleeful children chanting, "It's opposite day! It's opposite day!' " Ruth Krauss's 1950 picture...

Hello everyone. Today I welcome Katherine to The Green Swan with a contributed post on benefits of reverse mortgages. As one who hasn't had much of an appreciation for reverse mortgages, I was surprised to hear some of the benefits, but I can see how they do make financial sense for some folks.
So without further ado, let's hear from Katherine…
Reversed mortgages have an interesting reputation. People think they are somehow less legitimate than a traditional mortgage or that they are detrimental to homeowners. This couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, reverse mortgages are one of the few types of financial transactions that have federally mandated financial counseling that go along with funding for an home equity conversion mortgage (HECM).
One of the easiest ways to understand the benefits and advantages of the various types of reversed mortgages available to consumers is to first better understand who these types of mortgages are best for. Companies that specialize in these types of loans, such as ReverseMortgages.com, offer some of the best information on the topic.
Who is Eligible?
The eligibility rules for an FHA HECM require the borrower be a homeowner aged 62 or older who owns their home outright or who has a mortgage balance which is low enough to be paid off at the time of closing with the reversed mortgage. The homeowner must also have the recurring financial resources to continue to pay home insurance and property taxes and they must live within the home the mortgage will be applied to. Additionally, it is necessary for anyone applying for this type of loan to work with an official HECM counselor. An exciting development in the field of HECM reverse mortgages was the recent increase in the loan limit. This represents the first increase in a number of years.
The eligibility rules for a private reverse mortgage are slightly different but the outline is generally the same despite the lender. However, private lenders don't usually require counseling although the borrower may consult with a financial counselor if they so desire.
Aging in Place
A reverse mortgage can be an excellent option for older homeowners who have made the decision to age in place. This can be difficult in many instances as the home may need modifications in order to make it more comfortable as the owners age. Owners can use some of the funds from their reverse mortgage to pay for home upgrades which will make it possible for them to create a space that is functional for them without having to move away from a neighborhood to which they have become attached.
Some of the upgrades homeowners may want to consider include accessibility modifications to the bathrooms and entrances. Bathrooms become harder to navigate with aging bodies. While many of those considering a reverse mortgage at the lower end of eligibility may not need all the modifications at this moment, they will be valuable investments for future decades.
Some of the most important upgrades to consider are located in this room. Bathtubs, especially in older homes, are often slick and require careful balance to enter and exit. One way to make bathing easier and more enjoyable is to convert an older bathtub unit into a walk-in shower with a bench. Toilets should be upgraded to handicapped versions which are higher off the ground. Additionally, handrails can be installed near and in the shower and near the toilet to ensure the homeowners have the support they need.
Entrances are another area which may need to be upgraded, especially if there are steps. Adding a ramp with handrails can make entering and exiting the home far easier and safer than the original steps. If the dwelling is made up of multiple stories, a chair lift up the stairs or one of the minimally invasive elevators may also be beneficial.
Utilizing the Funds
One of the important things about reverse mortgages of all types which people may not be aware is it is possible to pull the money out as it is needed rather than taking it all out in one lump sum. This is great for borrowers who don't have an immediate need for the money but who are planning for their future needs. It provides the security of knowing the funds are available without any additional paperwork in the future.
This also allows for the possibility that future renovations or repairs may be needed which have yet to be considered. The balance of the reverse mortgage can also serve as an emergency fund alternative if something unrelated to the house comes up.
Reverse mortgages are ideal for many people. It simply takes having an open mind and a willingness to learn more about the process.

What's the worst thing about Judd Trump?
- His name?
- His hair?
- The fact he talks about his "own brand of 'naughty' snooker" regularly on Twitter?
All vote now
I don't know anything about him
But he'd have to be an almighty pillock for it not to be his name.
Judd's great
i dont read twitter
The fact that he calls himself a *part-time snooker player, full-time international playboy* on twitter
I got into an argument with some of his fans on there last year after tweeting about how cringeworthy that is
Yeah his twittering is dire
especially when he went through a phase of tweeting about his audi r8 all the time.
the fact that he's somehow supposed to be "flashy" or snooker's "flashy" player when in fact he's just very good at long pots but pretty poor at all-round matchplay.
he's a short-ass.
and the hair thing.
probably the jealousy he inspires in people
by being young, successful and good looking.wrightylew this'd this
I love this.
The "pretty boy" of snooker.
Straightening one's hair so that it goes fuzzy and shiny, like some kind of cheap, small-town salon hairdresser does not make one attractive.Gorkys_Forever this'd this
despite all those things i still like him
dunno why really. i just like his face when he's concentratingumlaut_ampersand and blimeycharlie this'd this
the mother says judd is short for jeremy.
i looked and it's his actual given name.
he's an embarrassing person but i like his snooker so i'm not fussed really. most snooker players are cunts as far as i know.
I like him
I like his snooker
I like his hair (it makes him look 'vulnerable' and elicits parental 'ah's from me)
Obviously I prefer Ronnies playing

Some Musings on the Vancouver Art Gallery expansion
While my preference has generally been to more fully explore the design and development options to expand on the current site, there are some convincing arguments to relocate to Larwill Park.
Here are a few considerations that have not been fully reported:
1. Some say the gallery could expand underground, like the Louvre. The gallery already has some space underground. While the idea of further underground expansion seems a possibility, I am not aware of any planning studies to assess just how much space could be created. I doubt whether the current expansion program could be accommodated by underground expansion.
2. Another possibility that intrigues me is the concept of enclosing the current building in a glass box to create a more inviting structure, with additional area. However, this would likely result in the loss of the front plaza, which many regard as a cherished open space…(especially if the current fountain could be removed.) In the past, others (including Arthur Erickson and Larry Beasley) have also been concerned how an above grade expansion might compromise the design integrity of Robson Square.3. The proposed expansion program effectively doubles the current facility. This expansion was contemplated to allow the gallery to exhibit much more of its permanent collection, as well as accommodate travelling exhibits. I suspect that if the decision is made not to move, it will be necessary to scale back the program, and/or contemplate a second facility at some time in the future. There are examples of art museums with more than one facility. Most Directors and administrators do not like this approach, but it is another option.
4. Many people in the art world believe that it would be easier to raise private donations for a fabulous new facility, rather than a renovated facility. This is an important consideration that should not be ignored.5. While I was opposed to the relocation to the False Creek waterfront site, I disagree with those who suggest that the Larwill property is too far away….it's really just a few blocks away, as many of us discovered when we wandered around the city during the Olympics. It is also part of an emerging 'cultural precinct' with the renovated theatre, an expanded CBC, the library and other related facilities.6. I can understand why the gallery would like the site for itself. A stand alone building would offer the potential for a truly magnificent structure. (Maybe even designed by some of the city's own accomplished architects). However, we must acknowledge that the city previously agreed to generate approximately $50 million or more from the sale or lease of the property's development rights. One option could be a major office tower adjacent to a gallery; another would be an exclusive residential tower (although it should be noted that this site is not zoned for residential since it falls within the area being reserved for commercial development).
I personally would support a significant residential or mixed use 'Shaw Tower' model adjacent to to a new gallery, provided the building was allowed to be tall enough…(you've got to watch out for those view corridors, you know!) to help generate revenues from the property to support both the theatre renovations and the cost of a new gallery.
7. I appreciate that some will argue that once again, I am trying to accommodate everyone with my opinions, but that's because in this case there is no one obvious solution (at least not to me). However, before a decision is made, I do think the gallery should revisit the earlier planning studies to determine just how much expansion potential there is on the current site, and whether the earlier concerns re: the loss of the public open space in front of the gallery, and impacts on Robson Square are still valid.7. Finally, I would like to completely disagree with Bing Thom's claim that relocating the gallery will suck the life out of this part of the city. If the gallery goes, the Vancouver Museum or other museums/public attractions would likely move in. Depending on the design approach, the space in front of the existing building along Georgia will always be a special place. And as we have seen during the Olympics, much can be done with the spaces behind.
All of this will take a lot of public and private money. But when I compare Vancouver with Seattle or other major cities, it is apparent that a lot of money should be spent to bring us up to par in terms of cultural facilities and amenities.

Interesting thoughts, Michael. I think I'm in agreement, that there doesn't seem to be a clear answer no matter which option you look at or which parameters you set.
I love the current space, but was quite excited when I read about a possible move and a new exciting cultural building in Vancouver.
What do you think of what Geoff Megg's posted, the letter from Darlene Mazari?

What I like about the VAG is that it puts art at the heart of the city. It integrates art into the city. A stand-alone building elsewhere, no matter how grand, would not do that. I think the purpose of an art gallery is to engage the public, to help people see. It's not primarily to be a repository or warehouse, in my opinion. Yes, someone else will take over the site, if the VAG leaves, and may do a vital job; but losing the location, it seems to me, will be evidence of a truly missed opportunity for the VAG to continue at the centre of civic consciousness, which is where I want art to be! (And where would you dock the boats???)

Thanks Brenton, Frank and Neale. In response Brenton, I think Darlene's letter presents a thoughtful point of view shared by a lot of people.
As I said, my preference has always been to stay where we are, but I can see advantages in moving. I suspect we'll hear much more from the gallery about the rationale for moving, in weeks to come.

Almost certainly true but I am not convinced that's positive.
The donations would be coming from people/ institutions who do not have bottomless pockets and who choose to support some aspect of the arts. Other 'worthy' art projects will see less support if competing with 'a fabulous new facility' for funds.

Capturing Decisive Moments of Life
Raj Sarkar
Working as finance personnel in Airports Authority of India at Kolkata, Raj Sarkar is a photographer by passion. He enjoys travelling & loves documenting street life. His photographs have won several awards and have got place in several publications like National Geographic, Asian Photography Magazine, Smart Photography Magazine, Saveus Magazine (Wild life), Street Photography Magazine, Chalo lets go, Photo Burst, Photo Flock, World Street Photography, Wild bird trust, 121clicks.com, Nikon India, Pinterest etc. He has been short listed under top two hundred in Garuda world photo contest in two different categories as well.
Photography for Raj Sarkar is to capture decisive moments of life. The most important thing for Raj as a photographer is to respect his subjects and the ambience. According to him we are not going to get good photo every time we shoot. But we should try exploring things which are new and unique. Raj thinks that his camera is his constant companion wherever he goes. He believes, if we are in a habit of taking photograph everyday then it will become a reflex action and our mind will instruct when to click and what to click. He thinks that one has to be the true critic of his own photos. He prefers to review his own photographs repeatedly on a regular basis to develop photographic sense. Reading various photography magazines has become his habit in order to get updated with the new technology invented every day in the photographic field.
His favorite photographers are Raghu Rai, Henry Cartier Bresson, Sebastiao Salgado and Ansel Adams.
