ROCKWOOD - A pair of second-half goals by Janee Romesberg and Caroline Sanner helped propel Rockwood to a 2-1 victory over Laurel Valley Tuesday in girls varsity soccer action.
Liz Zorch netted the game's first goal to give Laurel Valley a 1-0 advantage. That score would remain the same until late in the second half when Romesberg and Sanner finally found the back of the net for Rockwood.
"It was a very even match," Rockwood coach Fred Gusbar said. "We started out kind of slow. Laurel Valley was beating us to a lot of ground balls. In the second half, we managed to played a little better and finally score."
Winning goalie Joanna Ringer recorded 11 saves.
Rockwood won the junior varsity game 6-0.
The Lady Rockets (4-2) play at Meyersdale on Thursday.

What Are New Literacies?
The term "New Literacies" refers to a technology-driven paradigm shift in how we perceive literacy and approach literacy instruction. According to Vacca, Vacca, and Mraz (2014), "Being a literate person in today's society involves more than being able to construct meaning from a printed text. A literate person needs to be able to "read" and "write" and learn with texts that have multimodal elements such as print, graphic design, audio, video, gesture, and nonstop interaction." This reality has never been more true than it is for our digital native students, whose everyday literacy experiences revolve around "texts" rich in multimodal elements.
Why Should New Literacies Matter to Me?
As society becomes more reliant on technology for everyday tasks, our exposure to new forms of text-based, audio, and visual communications will necessitate reeducating ourselves and educating our students to engage and interact with these new forms of communication. Just as the switch from the card catalog (a centuries old technology) to the search engine (a technology that, itself, has evolved significantly in the last decade) represented a shift in how we access information, our students will inhabit an ever-evolving world in flux. How will the technological advancements of the next 50 years change the mediums through which we communicate? One thing is certain: given current trends, whatever changes do come about will make how we communicate and access information more interactive, not less.
Am I Equipped to Teach New Literacies?
We are as equipped to teach new literacies as we are to utilize them in our own lives, but that is what makes this new age all the more exciting. Now, more than ever, we can truly learn alongside our students, and what better way to learn than through experience? In many cases, our students are more expert at the technology that has ushered in a need to teach new literacies than we are. That is not to say, however, that they understand how this technology is changing the way we interact with information as readers and writers. Learning how to drive a car may grant a person newfound freedom to travel and explore, but knowing how to be a responsible driver, navigate highways, and fix a car when it inevitably breaks down are a whole different story. The same can be said for our students. They may know how to work their fancy devices and software better than most of us, but will they be responsible with the power these devices grant them? Will they know how to navigate the information super-highways of today? Will they know what to do when they encounter unforeseen challenges as readers and writers in the age of new literacies? That's where we come in.

Diversity Makes a Difference
What do we mean when we talk about diversity in college?
The root word of diversity is from the Latin, "diversus" which means "various". Today we use it to describe an amalgamation of people, traditions, ideas and cultures.
With all of this in mind, what does 'diversity in college' mean?
When most students seek diversity on a college campus, what they are seeking are opportunities to express themselves and find community with others who believe the same way, as well as opportunities to learn from those from different backgrounds and cultures.
The university years provide a one of a kind opportunity for students to have exposure to other cultures and backgrounds. Students should look for a university administration that is not only encouraging diversity institutionally, but also fostering a climate where students can exchange differing ideas and perspectives in positive and meaningful ways.

I haven't ordered any tooling lately that was US made and them imported into Canada by me, but I know that all of the major machine tooling vendors still ship to Canada as before so if there was a major issue in regards to prohibitive duties I certainly am not aware of them. I know that there is a lot of pressure on Canada, both internally and externally, to raise the duty free threshold from it's current draconian $20, to at least $100-$200 if not more. I think this would make Canada a little more of a viable product when NAFT negotiations are held.
I believe the big news is the reactionary 25% tariffs being placed on raw materials like aluminum and steel, plus a 10% duty on certain food products.
But I'll keep reading this one just in case I'm out of the loop.
In short I have not heard anything other than business as usual in regards to you shipping a few collets north.

I thought it was only a protectionist tariff on items going IN to the US?
Just a note to do the poor bloke in Canada a favor and use USPS rather than UPS or Fedex. Both of those shippers charge a healthy "brokerage fee" for cross border shipments where USPS and Canada Post have a deal so there is no brokerage fees.

X2 on what BC & Willy said.
Doesn't do JT any good, but for Canadian's shipping south I've been using chitchats and am very pleased. They charge $1 then mail in the US so the postage is the actual USPS rate - and they have the US flat rate boxes at their stores

UPS isn't as bad.. At least once they realize what's going on, they correct the problem
Work hard play hard
I would never even consider UPS or Fedex for this, they charge me for the whole trip, USPS is cheaper, since they only get it to the border, and then the international postal agreement takes over.
As for package damage, I think Fedex is the best, least damage. USPS is second, almost the same. UPS is 3 grades lower, they seem to regard all packages as requiring a penalty kick at least.
Thanks for the info.
I was thinking Canada had got fed up with the nonsense and imposed some more rules. Dunno why they would not, the whole mess is a major screwup.
UPS is MUCH worse.... they enjoy damaging packages, and I think they do it as a sport. And then they refuse to pay.
I have met with their representatives about packaging standards, and they are ridiculous... They want armor plating... they actually told us that a package should be done so as to survive a drop of 15 feet from the conveyor to a concrete floor, and if you do not do that, it is improperly packaged, no payment. The actual industry shipping standards call for a far shorter drop test, 3 to 4 feet, flat and corner drops..
USPS rarely damages, and when they do, they pay.

To investigate CT characteristics of Castleman and their pathologic basis.
Materials and methods
Thirteen cases of pathologically proved Castleman, encountered in our hospital during a period of five years, were collected in this study. The diagnoses were confirmed by surgery in all patients. The surgical, histopathologic records, and CT images were reviewed.
The lesion was localized in 5 and diffusely distributed in 3 cases. Pathologically, 5 cases belonged to hyaline vascular type and 3 cases belonged to plasma cell type, which 1 had retroperitoneal, 2 had mesentery and 5 had chest lesions. On CT scan, all cases showed round or ellipse soft tissue masses, with satellite nodules in 3 cases, and calcification in 3 cases. Enhanced scanning revealed obvious enhancement in the arterial phase and continuous enhancement in the vein and delayed phase in all the lesions, enlarged blood vessels within or around the mass were displayed in 3 case. In 3 cases, the intra-tumoral radial or fissured non-enhanced areas in early stage of enhancement were gradually filled up as the scan time was delayed.
Castleman's disease is rare and liable to misdiagnosis, a mass with benign characters, with calcification, especially delayed enhancement, can help in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

I hadn't deliberately set out to make theme park food so much, during this challenge, but when you've got 52 recipes to make and you love eating park food, then why not?!
Gary and I decided we wanted to make pretzels a while back, and found a recipe (they're all about the same anyway) but we saw it takes a long time to make them so decided to wait until we had a whole day free. Which was a good thing. Pretzels are HARD.
You start with the dry ingredients
- 600g of strong white flour (sifted)
- 1 level tsp of fast acting yeast
- 2 tbsp of soft light brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
You mix this together. Then create a well and slowly add liquid (375ml warm water, with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil mixed into it)
Mix this together to create a dough that's not too dry and not too sticky. I had to add more flour as mine was way too sticky.
You knead this for 10 minutes by stretching it out and folding it back on itself.
After the 10 minutes your dough should spring back when you push a finger into it.
The dough goes into an oil lined bowl and has to prove in a warm, dry place for 1-3 hours, or until it's doubled in size.
We left ours near the airing cupboard, with clingfilm over top and a towel loosely wrapped around the bowl. After 2 hours it was almost spilling out of the bowl!
I lined two baking trays and set the oven to fan 210c.
Next the dough has to be split and shaped. I removed it onto a lightly floured surface and punched it down, and then knead lightly. I then divided it into 10 pieces which I covered whilst I shaped each piece. I think I should have cut it into 14 bits though, to make the pretzels a little thinner.
To shape, you roll the piece into a long snake, no thicker than a pencil (I found this really hard because the dough kept springing back…)
Then you twist it around and stick the ends to the shape using a little water.
Not the easiest task. Once they were all shaped, I had to leave them for 10-20 minutes (I think I went for 15!) sat on their tray and covered.
Next is a step I'm assured you must not miss out, because this is what gives the pretzels their shiny brown crust.
You bring 1 litre of water to the boil in a large pan, add 75g of bicarb and dissolve it. Then on barely a simmer, you carefully place up to 3 pretzels into the water for 30 seconds on each side, before removing to their tray.
This was really hard. The shapes fell apart on moving them, and then flipping them in the water. They looked like poops when they came out of the solution….
Two trays of wet pretzel-ish shaped lumps later…. I sprinkled salt on top of one tray and left the other plain for sugar and cinnamon afterwards.
The recipe said to bake for 8-10 minutes. My oven runs hot, so I always go for the shortest time and then test. The recipe also said to turn half way through, but this was impossible…..
After 8 minutes I could see the pretzels were mostly cooked, but still had a little raw dough in the very middles, so I carefully flipped them over as much as I could and left them back in the oven for about 2-4 minutes. I kept testing them until I got bored and decided they were cooked enough.
As much as they had lost their shape somewhat in the dipping stage, they actually looked okay when they came out of the oven. Nice and brown, with a lovely crust.
Somewhat thicker than we'd hoped though. We sprinkled the cinnamon sugar on top of the second batch and moved the whole lot to the cooling tray.
We left them to mostly cool, and then both decided to try a sweet pretzel.
The inside was soft and light, and it tasted like a pretzel! I was kind of impressed!
We left them to cool before putting them in tins, but here was where we discovered that these have absolutely NO shelf life. Even before we got them in the tins, the tops of them looked like they were wrinkling, almost curdling. It was so strange.
I took one to work the next day to eat as a snack, and it was definitely not the same as it had been the day before.
My verdict is, if you want a pretzel, pay the money for a pretzel. These are time-consuming and difficult and need a very specific level of skill to make them correctly. I don't think we'll be making them again, but I'm glad we tried even though they went weirdly bad very fast.
I give this recipe 6/10

I've added a checkbox to my JotForm, which seems to work fine except that when I download an excel file of the submissions, all fields appear on the Excel file except the checkbox. The label for the checkbox indeed created a column with that label in Excel. But when I test it with either a checked box or un-checked box, nothing appears in that column in Excel.

Thank you for contacting us.
You will need to add some value to the check box option, then it will appear on the Excel file and Submissions page.
For example, add a Yes option, or use the full text 'I would like to receive emails with information about Muir Valley.' as an option.
Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.

Video games are great especially sports ones that are in the season. Speaking of which, the all time fave…. football and the best way to play they say is in forum.
ESPN scoreboard and other sites have brought up Fantasy Football into the height and now expanding on the same theme, other games have been encouraging forum play and interaction. Nintendo, is one of the pioneers here with Cyberball and NFL Rush.
Now you can play Cyberball online or download a full version for PC from Nintendo8.com (Disclaimer: This article does not sponsor the Nintendo8.com but is referencing the information there for the purpose of this discussion – kka)
Entertainment that's interesting and fun, these games are the ones from my index that I found the best and most thought provoking games. (re:Index of Football Video Games) Touchdown American Football was simple too and they all gave a skill rather than just a past-time game. They helped to keep the player in touch with the game itself and gave familiarity with the rules of the game as well as opportunity to better skill through interaction with the game.
Touchdown American Football
Uses up and down arrow buttons for movement forward and side to side. Fairly easy to use and requires no plug and play devices, solely for the computer and online, with parental supervision of course. To add to the benefit , this games is on a site that offers a forum, this is a great tool for parents who may want to do some investigations on the game or the site.
These are great games to engage with to start your travel into both online games and football. In the future it might even rear you into a true and great fantasy football player if you don't make it to the NFL. 🙂
As great as it is playing games online, it is also important to clean up after the party. Make sure that your computer that opens its door to the games online stay clean and appropriate. Take the basics steps to clean up after yourself. Log out of the gaming site, clean your history, delete your cookies, and empty your recycling bin before shutting down your computer.
Extra steps to take for better security and are safety measures would be to perform a virus scan to ensure no viruses downloaded onto your PC and cleaning out your download folders.
Play safe or safer.

The search team spent June and July waiting for Vanderbloemen to complete their search. The KSC Senior Pastor Search Team met on August 5, 2014. At that meeting the ongoing process and timeline for the remainder of the search were agreed upon.
On August 20 our consultant from the Vanderbloemen Search Group, Tammy Kelley, met with the team. After evaluating several hundred candidates, the group had narrowed the applicants to their top six recommendations. She provided packets of information on these individuals, including resumes and answers to common questions.
Each member of the Search Team will now prayerfully review the information on the prospective candidates, watch introductory videos, listen to sermons of each and rank the candidates in order of how they see them fitting the position. We will meet on August 30 to decide which ones should be brought in for face-to-face interviews.
Bishop Whipple will be asked to interview the top 2 or 3 candidates in accordance with denominational policy. The top candidate will be invited for a weekend to meet with the various leadership groups (Elders, Board, PRC, Staff) and to preach on Sunday.
If the Search Team determines that the top candidate is the man for the position, the Team will recommend him to the PRC for approval. The Compensation Committee will determine a salary offer within the range that has been set along with a benefits package. The PRC chair will bring this motion to the Board of Administration for approval. The Board of Administration will have the final decision as to the hiring of the candidate.
- That the Holy Spirit would grant the Search Team wisdom, guidance and direction as each member evaluates information on the candidates
- Discernment during the Search Team's meeting on August 30
- The next pastor whom God has prepared for King Street Church

I read about ways to propagate rosemary and mint by just cutting them, dipping in honey, and popping them in water- who knew???? Also along the way discovering a use for all those favourite but broken or chipped cups!! And saving me lots of money, because I do love me a big herb garden, with lots of sweet smelling things.

Book Review: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two weeks earlier.
On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.
Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.
From the Publisher (Penguin)
My thoughts:
The day Clay receives the Hannah Bakes tapes is not like any day before in his life. And no of the days after that will be the same.
Clay has had a crush of Hannah for years. But because of this shyness his chances with Hannah are on the past now. And there is only one reason for that. Hannah killed herself. But before her suicide she recorded 13 tapes explaining why she took her life away. The tapes are sent to the people who made the list. When Clay gets the tapes and listens to the first tape, he gets to know that he is one reason why Hannah did what she did.
The story is told through Hannah's tapes and Clay's thoughts. Having these two very different narrators gives a nice, interesting twist to the book. Hannah has been hurt and disappointed. When Clay receives the tapes he is hurt too. And scared. He cannot understand why he is on Hannah's tapes.
The style Jay Asher uses in this book builds suspense and you just have to keep reading and reading. Some events are foreshadowed which makes the reader want to know more about events which eventually are explained with more detail. Hannah's tapes are disturbing, but what I really like about them is the honesty. And as my Finnish teacher said; If a novel does not make you disturbed/fall in love/emotional etc. the writer has not really succeeded in his/her work. In that area, Asher has succeeded extremely well. I think "Thirteen Reasons Why" tells about very important, and in a way, taboo issue. I recommend "Thirteen Reasons Why" to readers of all age (but maybe not under 13 because of the issue and some disturbing images).
I promire this book will stay in your mind for weeks after reading it!

Great review! I think I have this book on my wihlist, but have forgotten about it. Now, I want to read it again. Thanks for pointing it out! It seems to be a really unique and powerful story.ReplyDelete
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they didn't like this one. One of these days, I'm going to have to pick it up. I think it's one I might be able to convince my daughter to read.ReplyDelete
This is such an interesting premise for a book. It sounds like it's well done, and I look forward to reading it!ReplyDelete

Subcellular localization of VII−virus particles analyzed by transmission electron microscopy.
2017-06-19T17:45:21Z (GMT) by

A549 cells were infected with VII+ or VII−virus particles at 37°C for 60 min, washed in warm virus-free medium, further incubated at 37°C for 5 or 240 min, fixed in glutaraldehyde, and processed for Epon embedding and thin section EM analysis. (A) Representative images of virions in the cytosol or the nuclear membrane (arrows), and in vesicles (arrowheads). (B) Quantification of virions at the plasma membrane (blue bars), in vesicles (red), the cytosol (green), and on the nuclear membrane (violet). The Top panel represents the raw data, including the number of virions (v) and cells (c) for each condition. The Bottom panel shows the normalized data as a fraction of the total number of virions for each condition. Note the enrichment of VII-less virions in multi-vesicular structures, and the strong reduction in wild-type virions 300 min post-infection, indicative of capsid disassembly [49, 88, 89]. The black bar in (A) represents 0.1μm.

ignite is an exciting and ground breaking collaboration between the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the state's leading universities and the Victorian Government.
ignite will position Victorian business and research as world leaders in innovation, new technology development and creativity.
ignite will bring together business leaders with universities in bespoke partnerships to research, develop and commercialise innovative products, services, business models and processes.
ignite is supported by the Victorian government and will confirm this state as the knowledge capital of Australia.
For further information: firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone: 03 8662 5206
Our sponsors:
Supporting partners:
The program to "bring to market" Victoria's huge resources of untapped potential was launched on 14 March at a function attended by university and state government leaders, prominent Melbourne business identities as well as Chamber board members and senior executives.
The Victorian Chamber's Chief Executive Mark Stone AM said the initiative will encourage, foster and guide industry partnerships between Victorian business and the talent within our universities.
"We anticipate real commercial outcomes and benefits," he said.
Deakin University Vice Chancellor, Jane den Hollander AO said the program offered Victorian businesses the unique opportunity to pursue ideas, work with universities to develop them, and connect with investors to turn them into commercial reality.
The program's support partners are CSIRO and the Victorian Government.
Mr Stone said the initiative came at a time when Australia's rate of collaboration between universities and business is disappointingly low.
"Annually only nine per cent of Australian small to medium-sized business bring a new idea to market," he said
The program means that each year, for the next three years, the Victorian Chamber will partner with Victorian universities to stage an event showcasing, exploring and leveraging each university's areas of expertise.
The series will begin with RMIT University in May followed by others including Victoria University, Swinburne University, and Deakin University.
"We will showcase to the world what we are famous for," Mr Stone said.
The series aims to:
Mr Stone said Victoria is renowned for its smart ideas and innovative thinking.
"Think of the first flight recording system, perhaps better known as the "black box", the invention of the cochlear implant, the revolutionary use of lithium as a mental health treatment and the development of polymer banknotes, " he said.
"Even every carpenter's and do-it-yourselfer's cherished device, the electric drill. They are all Victorian", he said.

By now, you have to be pretty out of the loop to not realize that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is one handsome Canuck.
World leaders aren't supposed to be this hunky, are they?
He's got that good-guy Canadian thing going for him, too, which is almost unfair.
Helping a guy in a wheelchair down an escalator? Who couldn't love this guy?
We've seen him showing off his yoga poses – not many government leaders could pull off a move like that!
And the internet lost whatever collective cool it had when this picture of Trudeau's butt surfaced.
But now, pictures of Trudeau as a young stud have come to light, and the internet is falling for him all over again...
It looks like the internet wants to get lost in young Trudeau's eyes over maple syrup and pancakes.
Yeah, the internet has a pretty serious crush on young Trudeau.
The thirst is real.
Sorry ladies – including you, Ivanka – he's taken.

"Our country was created with the freedome for the lowest bump on the social stick to reach the top, prevented by absolutely nothing save his own ambition."
"Second, there is nothing special or exclusive about the American way of life."

"There is nothing so practical as a good theory." – Kurt Lewin, social psychology pioneer
"In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is." – Yogi Berra, colloquial pioneer
To help better understand the process of leadership learning and inform our theoretical research, members of our lab team have identified and interviewed a wide-ranging group of practitioners and researchers – to ask them about their experiences of how people develop as leader. Their thoughts, and our analysis, is below.
Jason Emmert
Assistant Dean for Academic Programs, College of Agriculture, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Interviewed by Sarah Wright
Dean Emmert offered some great insights about the Illinois Leader Lab's Model of Leadership. Specifically, he discussed each of the individual aspects of the model: confidence, motivation and self-efficacy. When asked about confidence and how it relates to leadership ability, Dean Emmert believed that it is built over time, noting that "each little success contributes to the next one" and helps an individual become more confident in themselves. Concerning the second part of the model, motivation to lead, Dean Emmert's experience with students leads him to believe that motivation is most effective when it comes from within. However, he did note that some students seem to draw a lot of motivation from their peers. Finally, Dean Emmert suggested during the interview that self-efficacy was developed best by formal leadership training. He added that "Student Organization positions are great, however, taking advantage of formal leadership training on and off campus is equally as important."
Our Analysis
Dean Emmert's interview highlighted a common theme among the three portions of the Illinois Leader Lab's model. Is it best to develop motivation to lead, skill and confidence in the classroom or through experience? According to Dean Emmert, the best way is through experience, whether it be formal training or actual leadership positions. This information could serve as a new direction for future leadership research. Do students develop leadership capacity more effectively in the classroom, or through real world experiences?

It List: Thursday
Elf Power/Calhoun/Telegraph Canyon (8.0, Ft. Worth): Second generation Elephant 6 band comes to Ft. Worth tonight. I used to really dig them several years ago, but I just couldn't get in to Back to the Web, their most recent release (they have one coming out this year as well). Definitely more tolerable than most of the rest of the E6 stuff.
Blacklisted/Hands of the Few/HighLife/Power Trip (Red Blood Club)
Delmore Pilcrow/Khemo Rabbit/Street Hassle/Bad Taste (Rubber Gloves): Solid line up for the CD release party for Chris Garver's band, Delmore Pilcrow. I'd be especially curious to see what Bad Taste has been up to recently.
Van Halen (American Airlines Center)
We Luv Techno (Fallout Lounge): Wanz and Ineka will be joined by Maetrik tonight.
Summer Smackdown Movie Night (House of Dang): Starting at 830, House of Dang, in conjunction with the neighboring And/Or Gallery, will host a free screening of Showgirls. They will also force those in attendance to play some sort of Showgirls drinking game, and God knows what that entails. It's free and BYOB.

When people talk about great action franchises, they rarely mention the Mission: Impossible films. Sure, M:I-2 is a giant turkey, but all of the other entries in the franchise are pretty solid, with some people even thinking the most recent instalment, Ghost Protocol is the high point of the film series. On top of that, spy films are proving to be pretty popular at the moment, with Kingsman and Spy both performing well this year, and 2012's Bond film Skyfall being the first film in the genre to make more than a billion dollars worldwide.
Unfortunately for Rogue Nation, it's not quite the best spy film this year (that honour going to the aforementioned Kingsman), but it is damn good. Something all three of the spy films so far this year have done well is that they're all good fun. Rogue Nation has quite a few laugh out loud moments, most of which come from the supporting cast. Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames all more than pull their weight, contributing witty lines and some really good physical humour.
In fact, the physicality of this film is really its strongest suit. The action sequences frequently made me flinch, and it has some of the best stunt work I've ever seen. There is obviously the incredible plane stunt which is obviously jaw dropping, even though I've seen it a hundred times in every trailer and on every poster, but there are also some nice surprises that I'm very happy they didn't put in any of the marketing.
This film was originally slated for a Christmas release, meaning it was brought forward five months, and unfortunately there are a few moments that it does show. A few of the visual effects feel a little unfinished, particularly in one sequence that takes place underwater, but that's really the only place that it falls short.
The question always comes up with franchises: 'is it better than the last one?'. I don't think it is, and I don't think it's better than MI3, but it's an excellent and more than worthy instalment. I have to give a lot of credit to director Christopher McQuarrie, who clearly not only knows how to make a good action film, but knows how to work within the Hollywood system, and produce such a good film, so far ahead of schedule.

From our response line
Last Tuesday's article on Senior House's switch to Pepsi Cola from Coca-Cola ["Coca-Cola replaces Pepsi in Senior House Machine," Oct. 8] resulted in a flood of negative calls from Senior House residents. Unfortunately, only one of the callers gave a name and phone number. The remainder of the calls could not be confirmed.
1/3 Senior House desk captain Hattie L. Schroeder '92 expressed disappointment with the story. "There are a number of problems with this article," she began. "Jason Schultz is not the Senior House Coke Committee, he's some guy who works at the desk and orders sodas over the phone. There's no Coke committee, there's no Pepsi committee. Dr Pepper is not produced by the Coca-Cola company. There was never a sheet [for voting on the issue] at desk. No one voted, no one cared. Jason just said, `Let's get Coke again.' I hope this isn't continued, this finding things to say about Senior House that are untrue."
The Tech: The only mention of a Coke machine was in the headline, which was not written by the reporter and was the unfortunate result of miscommunication. Dr Pepper is indeed bottled and distributed by the Coca-Cola company, although the rights to the formula and the soda itself are held by another company. Since the Senior House switch from Coke to Pepsi was a source of debate among residents, the editors considered it worthy of note that the house had switched back.
We should probably add that the idea for the story came from a Senior House resident, and that Senior House President David W. Hogg '92 gave Schultz's telephone number to our reporter.
1/3 Graduate student Stephen Harrod called to express his appreciation of Jonathan Richmond's column of last Tuesday ["Teaching Needs Priority," Oct. 8.] "I've only been here a month or two and I already feel that strain of lack of attention toward teaching as a goal. I think that's a very serious issue MIT has to deal with," he said.
The Tech: Our Editorial Board agrees about the importance of this issue [see editorial, this page.] We hope that Richmond's column, along with letters and stories in The Tech, will continue to foster healthy debate on campus.
1/3 Finally, the comics debate continues with graduate student Robert H. Kassel commenting that "I think you should get rid of Jim's Journal. It's an insult to anyone who has any intelligence whatsoever." He concluded with a Jimesque comment: "I called The Tech's Response Line. It was OK."
The Tech: We believe that Jim's Journal has quite a devoted following among Tech readers, but input on comics or any feature of The Tech is always welcome.
The Tech's Response Line is an opportunity for readers to informally respond to any issues raised in The Tech, or to comment on the paper itself. Readers may call the Line at 258-8219 and leave their name, MIT affiliation, and evening phone number along with a comment or question. Responses which do not contain all of the above information will not be considered. These summaries will be printed as often as the response demands.

I'll Tell You What I'll Buy, Thank You Very Much
Our marketing/advertising society can't seem to decide what direction that they'd like to go with marketing and advertising certain groups or individuals. On one hand, you have groups who market to everyone as a mass group. This is traditional. You air commercials on prime time TV that appeal to everyone, you mail mass market junk mail to everyone. One document or campaign appeals to the lowest common denominator and tries to reach as many people as possible. It's annoying, but it's effective. But also turns off consumers who call the advertisers on their crap and want to know why their service or product specifically should appeal to them.
I'm one of those. Unless I already know that I want what you are trying to sell, you'd better be convincing me personally that I need or want it. Otherwise, I want no part of it. And I have a right to be a picky consumer, it's my hard earned cash that you are asking me to hand out.
Now of course, there is the other side of marketing that does just this. It tries to specifically appeal to consumer. This can be more effective, but is more dangerous. Spam falls in this category, those bogus shopping card deals from grocery stores fall in this category. Want to know how ridiculous some of those are? Best Buy and Books-A-Million ask you to pay for this. Yeah, that's right. You pay them to collect information on what you buy so that they can specifically market to you via email and snail mail. They do offer nice deals in return, so it's nearly a fair trade.
The perfect solution? As with anything, you find a happy medium. Tell me why I want your product, but don't collect information on me that I'd prefer you not to have. Just because I walk into Wal-Mart and buy something doesn't mean that I'm interested in it. Maybe I'm buying it for someone else as a gift. Appeal to my good nature and advertise the good deals you have on video games because I choose to tell you that its what I'm interested in buying. I'll be happy to be a loyal customer if you continually offer good deals to me on that front, yet stay out of my personal business.
And that's the marketing solution. Bring the people in with unobtrusive mass marketing, but categorize them into paticular groups (that they won't mind being in) once you have them baited. For instance, Sharla is considering opening a fashion store. She'd appeal to everyone with classy advertising that represented her type of business, then categorize her customers. Teenagers who want to buy prom dresses, college students who want bridesmaid or wedding dresses. Politely ask for information, telling them that you can offer them good deals on what they are looking for, and then keep your presence and good deals on their mind. Form a relationship with them and they'll have one with you.
Steal my ideas and I'll hunt you down. I know where you live.

A good example is an incident today. But before we get to that, let's go through some background information.
I recently signed up on MySpace, despite my initial reluctance to do so. I don't really care for the design or idea of the site, but its usefulness is outweighing its stupidity in a few ways, especially being able to keep up with good friends. I likely wouldn't be able to do so in the same degree without it. Of course, the evil empire of Rupert Murdoch owns MySpace. If you are keeping score at home, the same organization of Fox Sports, FSN, and Fox News. Which really makes it "HisSpace", meaning everything that you are seeing is the result of a boardroom decision. It isn't so that you can talk with your friends or make new ones, it's so that you will buy what they tell you and do what they tell you in the manner that you tell you. Of course, I choose to ignore this aspect because I'm able to talk with my friends at home. I endure this evil for the greater good.
Out of sheer curiosity, I checked out a page for the late Johnny Cash. It seemed disrespectful of the label and News Corporation to exploit a dead man's career, and I left my two cents. Mere minutes later, I found that I had two private messages from a few fourteen year olds explaining deep and significant thoughts.
"OMG, Ic4n't belEVE You DSS Jhnny CSH like dat. You R teh SUCK!"
...it's like a fish obediently jumping onto the bait. What scares me isn't the sort of marketing that is being pushed on our society, but the willingness to take it out of the spoon that is being fed to them.
Even Johnny Wouldn't Have Had This
That's possibly the best center field dive I've ever seen. I can't remember even Andrew taking a dive like that. He probably has, but it certainly isn't in my memory.

A Day In the Life, Or What It Feels Like For a Mug
Sometimes, I just go off on a tangent. This would be one of them. And occasionally, I think better of my tangents. This would not be one of them. I give you . . . my mug's day. Yes, people have been clamoring to know how the humble mug spends its day. And in a first ever photo expose, here you have it. It ain't pretty, but it's real life, people.
|Pick me! Pick me! Seriously, I'm on top . . . do not go for the Starbucks . . . they are stuck up assholes!
|Could you do iced coffee every once and a while . . . it's scalding my insides, dammit!
|Sugar?! Really . . . should your coffee match your heart? And clean the spoon. It's been talking about you for days.
|Sunlight . . . finally. Wonder how long this will last.
|This spot again. I'll be here all week at the rate this bimbo does the dishes. All. Damn. Week.

In 930 CE, a revered group of scholars pen the first sanctioned Bible, planting the seed from which other major religions will grow. But in 1953, half the manuscript goes missing while being transported from Syria. Around the same time, in the foothills of the Dead Sea, an ancient scroll is discovered-and promptly stolen. Six decades later, both parchments stand at the heart of a geopolitical battle between foreign governments and radical extremists, threatening the lives of millions. With the American homeland under siege, the president turns to a team of uniquely trained covert operatives, their mission: Find the stolen documents and capture-or kill-those responsible for unleashing a coordinated and unprecedented terrorist attack on US soil.

The first convention that I ever went to when i was in Uni and still a wonderful array of independent comic books, artists, stalls, talks and many more delightful and interesting things. The Cyborg Kitty stall will be there minus (unfortunately) me 😦 Due to a few issues with travel, but it will be hosted by the wonderful Dave who will hopefuly have with him The Wheel of Awesome which is always a fun thing to try your luck on, so go and visit him even if it is just to say that you wish that i was there 🙂
Truthfuly going and picking Dave's brains is probably a good idea, I think he has some wonderful comic book ideas coming up and you can find out what weird ideas he as in the pipeline or just try and get him to draw you an image of a very scary Cyborg Kitty. If all else fails when quizzing and talking to the artist in black that is the Dave one sure fire way to get his attention is to mention his favourate all time Batman villian, not the Joker, not my favourate the Riddler, no…the man they know as BANE!. I think when we were at Cardiff in March he mentioned Bane in nearly every other sentence. So if you want a great debate about the man who broke the Bat go talk to his number one fan 🙂
Other people that should be checked out if you are going to the Bristol Con, are the people from The Great Escape who have a new Gabriel Cushing comic which should be out soon, and an awesome Anthology of short stories funded by Kickstarter they also have a lot of ther fun stuff icluding badges, which are my favourate thing to get at conventions, you should see my bag it looks like an exsplosion in a badge factory 🙂
To sum up 🙂
If you are going to Bristol Comic Expo, go and have lots of fun, enjoy the comics, talks and art 🙂
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend 🙂

1. …begins with the finite "I" as opposed to the infinite God.
2. …sees epistemological certainty is both desirable and attainable.
Postmodernism lines up with number one above but, instead of correcting this inappropriate focus, pushes even further in the wrong direction. Modernism was a shift away from grounding the core of reality in the eternal, personal, Creator toward a man-centered perspective. Though it was not a shift that necessarily eliminated God, it surely displaced Him. Jewish philosopher Abraham Joshua Heschel once stated, "God is of no importance unless He is of supreme importance." As well, it was not a shift that eliminated the recognition of objective reality but it turned attention in the direction of subjectivity. Postmodernism, or what some have referred to as "late modernism", moves further in this direction, leading some to deny the existence of absolute, objective truth or, at least, assume a position that emphasizes the impossibility of knowing absolute, objective truth. Whereas modernism insists that epistemological certainty is both desirable and attainable, postmodernism tends to emphasize that it is neither desirable or attainable. Such certainty is seen as narrow-minded and discriminatory prejudice and, therefore, is to be avoided. Though it is true that there are subjective limitations in dealing with objective reality, postmodern thought allows such limitations to consume any ability to deal with objective reality, claiming that such certainty is arrogant, bigoted, "out of date", totalizing, manipulative and controlling. It is thought that insisting upon such a thing as THE truth eliminates the richness of diversity and is therefore undesirable.
Philosophic and cultural shifts are surely characteristic realities of life on planet earth. My main concern relates to the impact such thinking has upon the mission of the church. Under the guise of "engaging the culture" (a legitimate and necessary practice within the mission of the church) we run the risk of simply reflecting or becoming the culture. If Christians abandon belief in objective reality and absolutes, we have no mission. If having no mission is seen as preferable due to the desire to avoid being perceived as too narrow in our beliefs (arrogant, bigoted, "out of date", totalizing, manipulative and controlling) we have simply erased the line of distinction between Christianity and everything/anything else. This obviously eliminates the mission of the church. What we have at this point is placing more value on human/earthly culture than on the kingdom of God. Human culture and opinion transcends Biblical revelation and, therefore, such an emphasis as "our citizenship is in heaven" or "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness" becomes subject to the higher standard of "how will I be perceived if I emphasize such ideas?" There is, therefore, nothing to actually believe in, be committed to or stand for.

There are really only two options here...
1. You can purchase a Go Local Card for ten dollars at our fine bike shop, and get discounts at hundreds of Austin owned and operated businesses.
2. You can pack up your things, Craigslist your cycling equipment and move to Houston... I know that sounds drastic, but now is the time for drastic things. The tipping point is nigh, my friends!
Well, OK. Maybe I'm being the tiniest bit dramatic, but let me say this. My Go Local Card is pretty much the only coupon discount thingy I use. It's easy, which is great because I'm extremely lazy. It's wallet sized, which is great because I carry a wallet. And it saves me money, which is great because I'm cheap.
The card is ten bucks and expires one year from the time of purchase. At Jack and Adam's you save 10% off of all purchases with the exception of bikes. We're talking race wheels, bike shoes, X-labs and all of the other endless bike related accessories. I've recently finished some pretty advanced mathematical calculations and discovered that basically any purchase over $100 will effectively pay for the card. Peruse the rewards section of the Go Local blog and you will find similar discounts all over town. My personal favorite is the free body mapping from ARP Wave Austin. This, of course, is the process of drawing a map of the city all over your body so that when your iPhone breaks you will not be lost.
Below is a sampling of some other Go Local members in an extremely popular format.

Oh yeah, and if you pick one up at our shop be sure to say that Thomas, sent you in. Not because we have a sales contest or anything, simply because Jack and Angie, have been talking trash about their card selling abilities.

Just realised that in the sudden flurry of FOs I forgot to post finished pictures of my Cranford Mitts - a fabulous p/hop pattern. I took part in the Shinybees Podcast p/hop KAL and a few days of jury service were all I needed to complete these quick and simple mitts. The lace pattern is lovely and soothing to knit, and once you get into the rythmn they fly off the needles.
Beautiful sparkly Sparkleduck yarn, beautiful soothing pattern - a very gratifying finish.

For anybody, loss adjusters are appointed soon after there has been a claim created by you to your insurance organization, who then brings the adjuster in to assess that validity of your claim. When the adjuster tends to make you a first supply, do not immediately jump at it as it might be so low that it is merely a scheme to verify if you realize what you are performing. Comprehensive the formalities: Once you have decided on which life insurance plan you want to go for, most of your job is accomplished because taking the appropriate decision is the toughest component. For the consumer it can be difficult to manage a loss adjuster, so the essential issue to note right here is that they are not there to aid you, rather they appear at the interest of the insurance organization for whom they are operating. The policyholder might employ their personal public adjuster to negotiate the settlement with the insurance company on their behalf.
It is as well tough to base premiums for medical liability insurance of this variety on future prospective for malpractice. The principal point the insurance businesses are looking for when you want to apply for insurance is the grade of reliability you have. Most independent insurance advisors are compensated on a commission basis – a percentage of the premiums you pay your insurance organization. Terrorism insurance supplies protection against any loss or harm triggered by terrorist activities. When requesting for insurance coverage prices and quotes on the web, the procedure is a lot quicker, and less complicated compared to calling customer care agents on the web. International insurance premiums grew by two.7% in inflation-adjusted terms in 2010 to $four.3 trillion, climbing above pre-crisis levels. It leads to challenging predicament because you have to be insured to be deemed legal driver, but most organizations will reject you for the very same reason.
Collateral protection insurance (CPI) insures home (mainly vehicles) held as collateral for loans created by lending institutions. For policies that are complex, where claims may be complicated, the insured might take out a separate insurance policy add-on, referred to as loss recovery insurance, which covers the expense of a public adjuster in the case of a claim. Get quick quotes: Life insurance quotes requires into account various variables like age, gender, smoking habits, family members health history, life style etc. In case the tools are not accessible, get in touch with an ins agent and ask for offline quote it can take time to make appointment with an agent, but it is very best to get clear explanation about the coverage and all alternatives you have.
The equality of the Insurance policies is that the requirements are the same for the adults as properly as the teenagers. In case you die when the insurance is nonetheless in force, your beneficiaries are bound to advantage from the underwritten policy agreement. Auto insurance is not one thing that is taken just to cover the damages of our auto or any other automobile. Taking into account the statistics that the firms have confirmed about the risk represented by the young drivers, obtaining low-cost car insurance for a young driver is a tough activity to achieve. Virtually speaking, virtually each and each and every state possesses the requirement of showing the proof of obtaining auto insurance. Everybody appears for the ideal deal on auto insurance prices, so we also offer you you details and the capacity to get automobile insurance quotes from some of the most-respected insurance firms around.
The adjuster undertakes an investigation of every single claim, typically in close cooperation with the insured, determines if coverage is available below the terms of the insurance contract, and if so, the affordable monetary value of the claim, and authorizes payment. Within this variety, you must make a choice about a minimum settlement amount that you will accept prior to speaking to an insurance adjuster about your demand letter. Reinsurance is a type of insurance bought by insurance companies or self-insured employers to defend against unexpected losses.

Modern Kitchens
Sleek, minimalist and geometric, modern kitchens work well in architectural housing, metropolitan apartments and contemporary buildings where modernism is the theme.
Black granite or recycled glass worktops or cool white surfaces are modern kitchen design cues, especially with deeper edge profiles or waterfall ends. Complement these with flat slab cabinet doors in the same monochromatic tones or bold high gloss colours, featuring minimalist door pulls or inset handles. Informal breakfast counters with chrome-framed stools and discreet wine rack shelves complete the modern kitchen look, as will splashbacks and floor tiles in the same agglomerate finishes.

With the government shutdown into it's second week, and the debt ceiling debate looming on the horizon, it is hard not to be discouraged about the state of our political process these days. I have personally experienced a heightened sense of anxiety and frustration lately. Judging from the regular political rants I am reading on facebook, and the higher volume of political conversations I have had with friends in recent days, I am sure I am not alone.
This post is not an attempt to take sides and continue the debate about who is right and who is wrong. What I feel the need to wrestle with is how we can deal with our political anxiety. Left unchecked, our anxiety can fuel all sorts of negative byproducts such as anger, dissension among friends, hopelessness, idolatry, and slander.
The anxiety we feel about the whole situation is understandable. There is a lot at stake in the current debate. The decisions made by our government impact all of us in profound ways. I suspect that at the root of a lot of our anxiety is the issue of money. We are worried about the impact this political showdown is going to have on stocks, investments, jobs, and healthcare costs.
So how do we deal with our political anxiety? How can we avoid letting the current state of our political process lead us towards anger, despair and frustration? Below I've listed 3 practices that I think might help us remain faithful in the midst of these uncertain times.
1. Prayer
Paul tells us in Philippians to, "not be anxious about anything but in prayer and petition offer your requests to God." To this point I have tried to confront my anxiety by having political debates and clinging to the headlines in hopes of hearing good news. I haven't, however, spent a whole lot of time in prayer. What if I replaced some of the time I've spent reading news headlines and instead rested in the presence of God and expressed my anxiety to Him?
The need for prayer in the face of political anxiety occurred to me yesterday while reading Psalm 46 during a home communion service I conducted for one of our homebound members. Here David prays:
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
If anybody could advise us on how to deal with political anxiety it would be David. His life was marked with constant political instability. He dealt with civil wars, military coups, and betrayal from his own allies. Yet, David directed this anxiety to God in prayer. Through the practice of prayer David regained perspective on everything. He realized that God was in control. Though kingdoms tottered and nations were in an uproar, David was able to rest in the knowledge that God was with him.
To get to this place of peace David needed to recover his priorities. He was able to let go of his political anxiety precisely because he trusted God above all things. His well being was not directly tied to the outcome of worldly events because he knew there was a deeper hope he had in God. As Christians we believe that there is hope even in suffering. Through prayer we can learn to confront our idolatrous attachment to worldly things by trusting in God. We have an opportunity during this time of political instability to confront the false god's we are clinging to.
2. Protect our relationships
Most people I have talked with have very strong opinions about the current political crisis. In the midst of this, we need to be careful that we do not take our cues from the toxic type of debate going on in the media. While it is OK to stand up for what we believe is true, we ought to heed Paul's advice to "speak the truth in love." Two quotes come to mind when I think about the need for us to maintain a spirit of love among friends.
John Wesley wrote this advice on October 6, 1774.
"I met those of our society who had votes in our ensuing election, and advised them, 1. To vote without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy, 2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side."
Philip Yancey makes a similar point in his book, "Whats so Amazing About Grace"
"Politics draws lines between people; in contrast, Jesus' love cuts across those lines and dispenses grace. That does not mean, of course, that Christians should not involve themselves in politics. It simply means that as we do so we must not let the rules of power displace the command to love."
The media has set an unhealthy tone for our political conversations. As Christians we need to make sure that we do not let a bitter root of dissension grow up within our communities.
3. Gain Perspective Through Gratitude
While our anxiety and frustration is valid, I believe there is still reason to be very grateful for our current situation. There is a profound juxtaposition going on right now between the political crisis in America and the political crisis in Syria. While we are frustrated about the fact that our politicians cannot come to a consensus about our budget issues, we ought to be grateful that we are not in a country that resolves these differences through extreme violence. Our politicians may frustrate us with their legislative maneuvering and political spin, but they are not using chemical weapons on their citizens. Democracy can be messy and frustrating but it is a blessing compared to totalitarian regimes. As Churchill once said, "democracy is the worst form of government except for every other form of government."
Furthermore, as Christians we believe that we have a hope that transcends the hardship of living in the world. As Jesus said, "in this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world." As Paul says in Romans, "nothing can separate us from the love of God." Perhaps this current political impasse is an opportunity for us to evaluate what we really trust in.
Maybe it is because it is Canadian thanksgiving today, but I believe we still have much to be grateful for despite the frustrations we are up against. Perhaps some perspective is in order!

The Brad Bird directed film, starring Tom Cruise as Impossible Mission Force Ethan Hunt once again, has broken box office records set by previous installments in the series to become the most successful of all the MI films.So far, MI: Ghost Protocol has made over $571 million in worldwide ticket sales, something that has had many a Paramount executive rubing their hands together in glee.
Rob Moore, Vice Chairman of Paramount, remarked on the success of the film, saying that "Brad Bird, Tom Cruise, JJ Abrams and the entire team who worked on M:I4 created an incredibly entertaining film, one that fans worldwide embraced in record numbers."
The closest runner-up between the film is the John Woo directed Mission Impossible 2, which wrapped up at the box office with an impressive sum total of $546 million.
Director Bird has previously joked about how terrified he was of being labelled the director that killed Tom Cruise, when he made the actor hang off the the tallest skyscraper in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai for the film.
Bird said: "I think every director that has worked with him in these kinds of films probably has that feeling where your eyes snap open at three in the morning and you go, 'My god, what am I doing?' Definitely."
I would have paid extra to see that stunt go wrong though.

"Two bombs went off near an ammunition cache placed in a Shia mosque in the Shia bastion of Sadr City in Baghdad, leaving 20 people killed so far," the source told Alghad Press.
"Up to 110 people were also wounded as a result of the explosion," the source pointed out, adding that security forces rushed to the blast site and opened a probe into the matter, according to Iraqinews website. .
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Daesh (ISIS or ISIL) terrorist group, in most cases, is responsible for attacks targeting crowded areas, including markets, cafes and mosques across Iraq.
Sadr City is a stronghold of the cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose political bloc won a May 12 parliamentary election. Parliament ordered a national recount of votes on Wednesday.
The Iraqi capital has seen almost daily bombings and armed attacks against security members, paramilitary troops and civilians since the Iraqi government launched a wide-scale campaign to retake Islamic State-occupied areas in 2016.

Michel Comte was born in 1954 in Zurich, Switzerland. The professionally trained art restorer approached photography autodidactically. In 1978 Comte receives his first international assignments: advertising photographs for the Paris-based fashion houses of Ungaro and Chloé.
Work for the American Vogue lead him to New York in 1981; later, he takes up residence in Los Angeles. "I always have to live on the edge", Comte states on his restless persona. "If I no longer have a sense of risk, I immediately move on. I probably inherited that from my grandfather." (Swiss aviator Alfred Comte).
