Our post on the Diversity & Justice seminar at Perkins School of Theology was picked up by the religious journal First Things. Their commenters had as much fun with the topic as ours did, including Ben who noted the absence of "Radical-Reactionary Scots-Irish-American Grumpy Young Bible-Thumping Good-Old-Boys like me…"
This drew a response from Sze-kar Wan, professor of New Testament at Perkins:
"Bible-thumping," Ben? You got it! Sorry, not white or "good-ole-boy" enough for you, tho. You won't let me, I am sure. Dallasites don't let me forget that either. Everyday. The kinds of taunts I get on the streets of Dallas tell me we have a lot of work to do.
Really? The professors gets "taunts on the streets of Dallas"? Is his hair dyed blue? Does he wear smelly, uncured bear robes? Even if, I can't quite envision taunts. In fact, I'll go so far as to call it a lie.
I think Dallas white people are more overtly racist than ever. Not more racist, just more overtly. I've lived here on and off since 1978. In the past 18 months, I've had people drop the "N" word in conversations, use the phrase "Towel head" and "beaner" in conversation, and been called a "Jew Boy". I even had a random woman call me a "Jewish Asshole" in the customs line at DFW when I told her not to cut in the line. There has always been a subterranean racism among Dallas people, but it seemed that it was considered "low class" to do anything but whisper it, or tell off color jokes in non-mixed company. But lately, it seems the stigma of ignorance has been removed, and whites of all socio-economic strata are saying what's really in their hearts. My response is to look them in the eye, and say how offensive I find that language. Wick, you should ask some of the people you know (The ones who won't give the typical Dallas boosterish BS answer) about the rising amount of overt racisms among their peer groups in Dallas. It's there, and it is out in the open. Demographic changes are harsh, and people's hearts take generations to change. But to think that this guy is not feeling the sting is is probably wrong, and he at least deserved a conversation with you before he was called a liar.
Highland Park 2011 = Selma 1965. Oh, the humanity.
So you will call a professor at Perkins Theological Seminary a liar without ever having met him or talked to him? I really thought better of you.
BigJonDaniel, Beware of the ones who won't say it to your face, and believe me, there are plenty of them.
Okay, I confess. I did it. I taunted Sze-kar Wan. It was on the streets. I just didn't want to let him forget.
And he didn't forget — the man knows he is Asian. Everyday. How come it's okay to taunt a white man for being a drunken buffoon with rickets, buck teeth and a speech impediment, but if you're Asian, oh boy, you're sacrosanct??
Beware of the ones that broadly paint an entire population base with anecdotal evidence.
BJD: Seriously, when have you heard white folks racially harassing people on the streets of Dallas?? Come now, that just doesn't happen anymore. I've never, NEVER, seen that here.
Also, if may point out, Dallas is one of the most diverse cities in the country. You'll find that many of the more "liberal" cities in the north are much more horrendously segregated..
@Instawinger – HP is worse, because in Selma, no one pretended not to hate
I have no idea where BigJohnDaniel hangs out, but I believe his life would be much more peaceful if he'd upgrade his lifestyle.
Shorter Wick:
Still mad Perkins didn't meet his quota of white males.
@MikeE – see, thanks for proving my point. These people who said all this were professional people, in professional settings, other than at DFW. Your point (I think) was that I am surrounded by low class people, because only low class people would be overtly racist. My point (I think) is that this is no longer true. Why don't you ask around a little and see if what I say is true
@Clay. I've seen it. I've heard it. Hell, D-Magazine does it. Candy Evans used to throw out tone deaf racist comments on her blog, and have you checked out the "hire a poor Mexican for the day" section of their 52 things to do to be a real Dallasite article?
@bigjohndaniel — HP is worse than Selma 1965? In Selma, apartheid was the law. Blacks and non-black allies who peacefully challenged it were beaten, tear-gassed, fired, arrested en masse, etc. It is offensive to the memory of those civil rights marchers who put their lives on the line challenging American apartheid that you would say it's worse in Highland Park today, because white people there keep their alleged racism to themselves. If you really believe that, then you exemplify why so few people outside the ivory tower of academia and the professionally diverse take these complaints seriously.
Highland Park 2011 is worse than Selma 1965? Are you sure it's not worse than the Holocaust? Worse than the gulag? Maybe you aren't being sensitive enough, hoss.
@BigJonDaniel: Since you asked Wick to ask people he knows about this, here's my testimony. I've only lived in Dallas since 1997, but since then have met or befriended people here in a wide variety of settings, from the everyday (grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc.) to country-music honky-tonks, "multi-racial" pickup joints (before I was married!) and neighborhood meetings and festivals to business events of every imaginable stripe and private social gatherings of the wealthiest Park Cities elite. Only one time in 14 years–one time–have I heard anyone use the "N" word or refer disparagingly to any ethnic minorities. (The "N" word came from an elderly Deep South white guy who was talking about someone he knew very well and professed to admire; old habits die hard, I guess.) I think John Kennedy said you can't grow up in America and not be racist, but I think people are evolving in the right direction and, in any event, it's how we treat others face-to-face that counts most. On that score I believe Dallas acquits itself about as well as anywhere.
I'm glad to see that for the most part fear of being accused of racism like this has gone the way of fear of being accused by pubescent girls of not dressing fashionably. These are the sorts of weenie power plays that terrify you if you're 12 and your voice is breaking or if you're a Liberal or a Democrat but which otherwise you laugh at, as you do with all the antics of the young or those congenitally arrested in their development, before dismissing them and moving on.
Racism exists in every continent, every country, and every city. It is part of the human condition.
I love how blacks can call each other the "N" word, but no one else can. You can't have it both ways.
@Instawinger 1)Did you miss this part of my post "in Selma, no one pretended not to hate". Do I need to help you understand what "subterranean racism" 2) You lose credibility using Beckian phrases like "ivory tower of academia and the professionally diverse".
@Tigerblood No, it doesn't work that way, sorry
@ BigJon I was with you until you said it was racist to print 'hire a Mexican'. The word Mexican is a nationality, not a slur. Was the piece classist? Yep. In poor taste, completely. Racist, not so much.
@ TigerBlood you have problems if this is something you sit around and think about. Your comment does nothing to further this conversation. You need to get over it.
I'd love to know the spatial location of the incidents this professor refers to. They are obviously not in any part of *Dallas* (not Plano, not Prosper, not the Park Cities, nor Southlake or Denton or Garland) that I've been in. I've been in an interracial relationship for years and haven't had one taunt of that nature or any other.
@Emily – Really? You think that piece was not racist? I never said the word Mexican" was racist. Telling someone to trade in their "lazy" Mexican day worker for a new one is down right shocking
@BigJon — so, racism that's so subtle it's hard to detect is worse than racism that actually beats up, tear-gasses, and arrests people, and deprives an entire class of citizens of their rights, solely based on the color of their skin?
I think Glenn Beck is a complete clown, and I'm thrilled to see him depart from the scene. But there is a such thing as an ivory tower, and there are such people as the professionally diverse. The professionally diverse are people whose job it is to dwell on and exacerbate the differences, racial and otherwise, among people, because it gives them work to do. In my last job, near as I can tell the diversity committee and its initiatives made it harder for us to get along, because all of a sudden everybody was worried about saying the wrong thing and being accused of racism (sexism, homophobia, etc.) because of it. So it was better, and safer, not to say anything at all to someone who was not just like yourself, because you never knew when and if somebody different was going to take it the wrong way, and report you to Human Resources or the Diversity Committee. Thus were fears and suspicions among a diverse staff heightened by the Diversity Committee. But this guaranteed that there was a lot more work for them to do, because boy oh boy, was there a lot of new tension in the office.
Hey BigJon, why don't you call Congressman John Lewis up and ask him if he'd feel more threatened walking through Highland Park today, or in Selma in 1965, when a cop cracked his civil-rights-demonstrating skull with a nightstick and knocked him to his knees on the Edmund Pettis Bridge?
@BigJon – It seems that discussions of racism by liberals always centers on how racist white Americans are which is amazing to me since the United States is the most racially diverse country in the world and it is still predominately white. Big Jon can do us all a favor with a little experiment. Since he seems to be a white liberal (probably Jewish) he surely has a close friend that is black. This Saturday night between 9 and 10 pm, BigJon's black friend should walk the streets of Highland Park alone and see what happens. At the same time, BigJon should walk the streets of South Dallas alone and see what happens. They can then report back to us on the state of racism in Dallas.
Dubious Brother nailed it. Well said.
I'm sorry, but if you're "white" you can't possibly understand what it's like to hear off-the-cuff comments about Asian people. I'm half Asian and have to listen to my co-worker say something several times a week about "slow Asian drivers" or how she was waiting in line at the dry cleaners and this "Chinese lady" was taking forever (and of course, calling her Chinese was just a guess, as that's what all Asians are, right?). Also making fun of how the Chinese women talk when she's getting her nails done. I also recall mentioning how dirty the first floor bathroom is and she mentioned, "You know what it is? It's those Chinese people." I mean, seriously? I have told her on several occasions that my mother is Vietnamese, but this doesn't seem to stop her rants. So I think it's fair to say that I hear racial rants on Asian people far more than I would like to. Yes, I'm more sensitive to it because it is a part of me, but I don't think professor Wan is too far off he gets a taunt or even two everyday. I get it a few times a week in my own office. I've also heard several of my in-laws make fun of "Asian" or "Chinese" people at almost every family gathering that I just shrug off. Not to mention people assuming I'm good at math. These are just personal experiences, but I can't imagine I'm alone in this…
@Dubious Brother: Zac and I just spent far too long running a thought experiment on your proposal. I was thinking it might actually be something we could do in the magazine. Two guys dressed identically (jeans, button-down shirt). One guy is black. The other, white. Black guy walks through HP. White guy does the same in the appropriate part of South Dallas. We have them each write 600 words on their experience.
Here's why it doesn't work. Hypothetically, the worst-case scenario in HP is the black guy will get picked up by the cops. I don't think it will happen. But it's possible.
Hypothetically, the worst-case scenario in South Dallas is the white guy gets beaten up. Don't think it will happen. But, again, it's possible.
They aren't parallel scenarios, though. The HP worst case would say something about racism. But the South Dallas worst case would have almost nothing to do with skin color. It would only say something about poverty.
Okay, then. Send the white guy through a part of town that's predominantly black and well off. Pick the appropriate neighborhood in Cedar Hill. It's hard for me to imagine a worst-case scenario. White guy gets lost?
But the South Dallas worst case would have almost nothing to do with skin color. It would only say something about poverty.
Just keep telling yourself that.
@dubiousbrother -that's like proving gravity by boiling water
Pick the appropriate neighborhood in Cedar Hill. It's hard for me to imagine a worst-case scenario. White guy gets lost?
Or, maybe, white guy gets scared. If the white guy's name is Doug, anyway.
The blurb about day laborers never uses the word "lazy." That's your term. The way I read it, it's telling people to take a hardline with guys that are payed by the hour. For you, apparently, it was convoluted into some heinous remark because of a stereotype about lazy Mexicans that you fished from the confines of your brain meat. Yet, oddly, the piece never uses the word "lazy" or "Mexican."
I'm a liberal, and even I think you're trying too hard to be outraged.
Aww, poor Daniel always gets his panties in a twist if someone dare suggests whitey isn't the only person capable of racism.There there, Daniel, whitey is bad m'kay? Feel better? Sure you do.
Actually, Tim, the odds are good that the black guy WILL be stopped and questioned. When the Broadway actor Andre de Shields (Tony Award, The Fully Monty) was a distinguished visiting professor at SMU — this was in the early '90s, if memory serves — he used to jog through the Park Cities. He was stopped and because he had no ID with him in his running shorts (pre-9/11 and all), he was taken in. He had, of course, committed no crime — just a black man running through the Park Cities.
Regardless of whether actual racial epithets get hurled on the streets, Highland Park has — I believe — only one (fairly recent) black resident family. In fact, historically, HP is what's known as a "Sundown Town": Blacks were not allowed to stay there after dark, and if you think I'm exaggerating, you can check historian James W. Loewen's 2005 book, "Sundown Towns," which has quite a few pages devoted to HP and how its sundown status was created and maintained. Basically, even now, hundreds of Hispanics and blacks commute every day into the Park Cities — as maids, gardeners, cooks, nannies, etc. — and then they have to get out.
So I suggest that if you go through with your experiment, you try it at night.
@Tim – There is no need to prove that anyone who doesn't look like they belong in the Park Cities will he hassled. There is no need to prove that walking through a bad neighborhood at night is a risk. There is no need to prove Dallas is a racist town.
@instawing my point was, in Selma, John Lewis knew who hated him. He didn't have to wait for someone to show their ignorance and hatred in a social situation to figure it out. "..because you never knew when and if somebody different was going to take it the wrong way" – "what, in your judgment, is the "wring way"???? Yes, I know it is hard for you have to self-moderate what's in your heart, and that it is a burden for you. I imagine it's uncomfortable knowing that you can get in "trouble" for saying something that's hurtful and ignorant.
@Asher "If a guy is a loafer, pay him, take him back to the lot, and pick up another one." So loafer isn't "lazy"? And you think it's OK to think of a poor day laborer as a power tool, be my guest.
loaf·er (lfr)
One who is habitually idle
@BigJonDaniel – My original point with the experiment was that it seems that all talk of racism is of white people being racists and no one else. If you were to go through with the experiment, you would probably find that your friend would meet the Highland Park police and he would be treated with respect. You on the other hand when "walking through a bad neighborhood at night" (your words) would probably wish that the police were nearby. All black neighborhoods are not bad and believe it or not, people actually choose to live in black neighborhoods. It might be that the police in one situation would be acting to protect the neighborhood from outsiders and in the other situation, protecting an outsider from the neighborhood.
You seem to think that wealthy whites are capable of racism but poor blacks are not, they just live in a bad neighborhood. Change the time to 10 am if you think it will make it safer but if you really want to experience racism visit Korea, Japan or Saudi Arabia.
@Dubious Brother – The existence of racism is other countries does not justify racism in Dallas. We can't pat ourselves on the back and say "It is worse elsewhere." We must hold ourselves and our country to a higher standard.
@Hannah – I never said that racism is good or doesn't exist. The point that I was making is that the discussion about racism in Dallas or anywhere else in America always focuses on white people when at the same time America is the most racially diverse country in the world. Visit Japan or Korea and see just how diverse their population is and you may redefine what racism is to you. We have put a hair trigger on the concept of racism which has stifled the discussion as well as one's sense of humor.
Dallas is by far the most overtly racist city I've ever lived in. It's embeded in the layout of the city. Everything new is on the northside, park cities, plano. Downtown is a joke. Deep Ellum abandoned. Why do you think the Cowboys play in arlington and not fair park. The ghettos in south dallas make south central LA "look" like paradise. Dallas is where George Bush lives now for heavens sake. I remember the hatred for TO back when he was on the cowboys when romo drops the ball. Mavs star gets arrested right after they win the championship. Dorrough's downtown apartment raided etc
I moved to Dallas in 2008 and yes I have witnessed racism. More racism than I have ever witnessed in my life and I was born and raised as a black woman in Mississippi. I worked in retail in Richardson and many of the white people would come in and drop racist comments about blacks all day. One old white man told me "You speak well for a black". He then went on to tell me of a time when he was in the military and he met a black man and he stated "he looked like a big silverback gorilla".. Honestly. I even told my bosses about this and my mom. My mom who still lives in Mississippi was shocked. Several of my coworkers at this same retail store off of Coit Road in Richardson were called the N word before and the mexicans fared no better. They also recieved hateful comments.
The racism was really bad at work though. After I left the retail job and got a professional job in my field I started to see just how slanted it is against blacks here in Dallas. I worked at one company where the white kids were all becoming permanent and being given their choice of assignments and blacks we were all left with no choices and we were all making LESS money even though the company made it mandatory WE came in with a degree AND experience. I have seen a lot of racism in Dallas. The whites here don't want blacks to make good money so many highly educated blacks settle for government jobs with security and a steady income as the white people mess with them to bad in corporate america.

We took a trip to Indiana Beach and had a ton of fun! =)
the whole gang!
The water tubes were fun!
All three kids loved this ride. It was ridden multiple times. What cracks me up is Miss M's face - it looks like she's completely terrified, but she said she loved it and kept going on it!
Bumper cars were a big hit!
I think though, little man enjoyed it most of all! =)
yummy ice cream!
Oh man, she is trying to fast forward to adulthood. I love that she's ready to do things alone. And yet, I also hate it!
You can tell if you really look, but Miss A is sitting next to E!

After three straight weeks of impressive gains, the purchase index slipped back 3.0 percent in the April 10 week. Year-on-year, the index is still up a solid 7.0 percent in a reading that points to strength for the spring housing market. The refinance index fell for a second week, down 2 percent.

Watch for the housing market index later this morning at 10:00 a.m. ET for the latest indications on the new home market.
The Mortgage Bankers' Association compiles various mortgage loan indexes. The purchase applications index measures applications at mortgage lenders. This is a leading indicator for single-family home sales and housing construction.
This provides a gauge of not only the demand for housing, but economic momentum. People have to be feeling pretty comfortable and confident in their own financial position to buy a house. Furthermore, this narrow piece of data has a powerful multiplier effect through the economy, and therefore across the markets and your investments. By tracking economic data such as the Mortgage Bankers Association purchase applications, investors can gain specific investment ideas as well as broad guidance for managing a portfolio.
Each time the construction of a new home begins, it translates to more construction jobs, and income which will be pumped back into the economy. Once a home is sold, it generates revenues for the home builder and the realtor. It brings a myriad of consumption opportunities for the buyer. Refrigerators, washers, dryers and furniture are just a few items new home buyers might purchase. The economic "ripple effect" can be substantial especially when you think a hundred thousand new households around the country are doing this every month.
Since the economic backdrop is the most pervasive influence on financial markets, housing construction has a direct bearing on stocks, bonds and commodities. In a more specific sense, trends in the MBA purchase applications index carry valuable clues for the stocks of home builders, mortgage lenders and home furnishings companies.

All climbers:
What is the best place to visit for one day near Cape Town? A colleague of mine is coming to Cape Town for just one day, all the way from The Netherlands, and likes to climb some routes on real African rock ( He is coming with a friend who is the pilot of the airplane ). He'll probably be renting a car in Cape Town and leave a big dusty cloud behind when driving towards the rock.
He wants something like a 17, 18 or 19 and close to CT because of him flying back in the evening. I suggested Paarlberg, with Sands of Time and Little Dutch Boy ( which is really a good one for him, being about 1m70 tall.... ). Does anyone have other suggestions and directions towards the place?

Greetings... I bought yesterday a ipad2 Wi-fi 3G 16gb and I did the jailbreakMe from the site so far so good. I downloaded the Wi-Fi Sync but it said is not recognize from the ipad then I read and it says is to iphone. So My question is where do I get Wi-Fi sync to ipad or a apps that sync ipad with iTunes without usb cable. Another Questiion I downloaded Flarsh ( flash) but does not work too. Can you help me I do apreciatte. Thanks.
mmm.. Nice. An iPad2 bought yesterday, and could be jailbreaked. So it it was not on version 4.3.5, Or did you indeed jailbreaked it on this version... I lerened something new here: Wi-Fi Sync developer says he was 'fairly shocked' by Apple's similar Wi-Fi Sync feature -- Engadget Regarding flash - that always a problem on iPad
It cames with 4.3.3 I DL frash ( flash) from cydia but can get the flash to work. And Wi-Fi sync is for iphone it says in description I dont see nothing mentioned ipad. I Downloaded it and really says the device is not compatible. So whats the solution?
Flash on iPAD is a dream But try these: iSWiFTER How To: View Flash Content On Your iPad -- AppAdvice Skyfire Skyfire Flash-enabling Web Browser App for iPad On Sale for $2.99 Let us know. I gave up long time ago.
Hi, as peled said, it's great news that you got a 4.3.3 iPad2 out of the box. Just be careful you don't' get forced into a restore situation as you will lose your ability to jailbreak. Now, WiFi Sync is iPad compatible, however, the problem is it has not been updated recently AFAIK for the later releases of iTunes. Version 1.1a has been out for a really long time and was targeted at the very first iTunes 10.1 release. iTunes is now at 10.3 (public) and 10.5 (beta) and it just doesn't work reliably with WiFi Sync at all (10.5beta has Apples own WiFi sync technology built in which does work quite well, but you also need IOS5beta on your iPad, and it is just for developers at the moment). So, I'm afraid you are pretty much stuck in limbo with the old WiFi sync product. You could try removing iTunes and installing an older supported version for WiFi sync (you can find old version though google quite easily) - but this may introduce issues in other areas. Honesty, I would live without it for now... Secondly, frash is a dead project and simply does not work on 4.3.3 at all. You will get a fresh "food error" more often than not on the majority of flash content. There is no other jailbreak solution for flash sorry. It's just not one of the main reasons to JB. The best you can do is enable flash video content via some of the official proxy browser apps via the App Store such as Skyfire, but I don't use any of these so can't recommend a particular one. There are lots of threads about them though, so please search if you are interested. Sorry it's not more positive news! You've picked just about the 2 worst things to try out your jailbreak with!
I just want flash because want to play zynga poker on facebook nothing more. I mean Wi-Fi Sync app in ipad 2 when I run it it said incompatible device.
Ah, so it does. Just tried it out myself. I think I stopped using it long before the iPad2 came out! It does support iPad1. Sorry about that.
so whats the other way to sync ipad 2 with iTunes via Wi-Fi ? Another question to not open a new topic. When I click restore in iTunes it says will restore to the default as I bought but how can I restore things from 1 day or restore to work without jailbreak, 2 days ago when I bought it? is there any danger to upgrade to IOS 5 with jailbreak ?
You need to be in the IOS developer programme and use iTunes 10.5 beta and IOS 5.0beta5. OR you can wait till September when iTunes 10.5 & IOS5 will be launched to the public. But there is no jailbreak for iOS5 iPad2 at the moment.
I read before do the jailbreak its important to make a backup but unfortunately I did not. Personally I need to do that I need to control my ipad2 if I want to change it to default I change if I want to jailbreak again I do.. do you understand?

We started with a few sea shells salvaged from an old wreath of my mother in laws. Sweet Pea took these photos right before I said "STOP PLAYING WITH THE CAMERA!!"
Then we dug up one of her many princess crowns. Really, how many does one girl need? And why hasn't any one figured out how to make those plastic jewels stick??
Next we got out our trusty glue gun and glued the shells to the crown. It took a lot of glue!
Then we slapped a coat of modge podge over everything. Lots and lots of modge podge.
Then we sprinkled the whole thing with glitter. Purple Martha Stewart glitter. I didn't take a photo of this because well, it was glitter and it was everywhere!
We did the same process with another small shell and a strip of tulle tied in a knot.
We let everything dry overnight, did our best to shake off the extra glitter & then she posed!!
Next , we will spend the rest of our lives cleaning up purple glitter that has sprinkled over every surface of the kitchen. Her preschool teachers will be doing the same since she wore this outfit to her preschool party today!

Cause Of Early Hearing Loss Linked To A Genetic Mutation Of An Inhibitor
By Paul Harrison
Amidst all the confusion of the most probable causes of early hearing loss, a new study conducted by researchers of the University of Melbourne has shown that there is a very strong possibility that early hearing loss may be brought on by a genetic mutation of the SERPINB6 inhibitor. Download here

Why Strikeouts Are A Big Concern For The Mets
After writing about the high strikeout rates of Ike Davis, Chris Young and Lucas Duda, I received a question asking why my concern over strikeouts, with the reader saying, "there's no difference between a strikeout and a soft grounder to second.''
He couldn't be more wrong.
First, a strikeout is a non-productive out, but much more can happen on a grounder to second or any other base for that matter, especially with less than two outs.
A grounder to second, or anywhere in the infield, or a fly ball, has the potential to create something positive while nothing can be generated from a strikeout unless the ball gets by the catcher. And, unless R.A. Dickey is pitching, how often does that happen?
A runner can score on a grounder to second. He can't on a strikeout.
Also, with a soft grounder to second, there's a chance the ball could get through for a hit or the fielder could muff it for an error or the batter beats it out. Either way, it leads to a base runner and potential run, or if there's a runner on second or third, it could generate a run.
See the difference?
In addition, a grounder can advance a runner into scoring position.
When I once asked Davis about his propensity for striking out, he said, "I am a home run hitter. I like to hit home runs. Strikeouts are part of it.''
Until he changes that attitude, he'll never be a viable hitter.
I realize times have changed, but to me one of the most incredible statistics in history is that during his 13-year career, Joe DiMaggio hit 361 home runs, but only struck out 369 times.
Arguably, that might be more impressive than his 56-game hitting streak.
Carrying it a step further, last year the Mets struck out 1,384 times, or 8.5 times a game. Translated, they went a third of the game without making contact. Add to that Chris Young (148 K Avg/162 ) and Curtis Granderson (159 K Avg/162 ) who struck out 195 times in his last full season in 2012.
Still wonder why I think it's a big deal?

Research by London-based property advisor Savills today found more developers saw a decline in activity last month than a rise following a strong February.
There was a particularly sharp drop in public sector business as the squeeze on government spending kicked in.
It offset a modest increase in demand from the private sector where refurbishment of industrial sites and warehouses dominated.
Developers are confident activity will pick up again once the outcome of the May 6 election is known.
Michael Pillow, head of building consultancy at Savills, said: "Elections are always a popular reason to defer decisions, and we do not expect to see a pick-up until the results of the election have been counted and announced."

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), Measure for Measure ++ Pain in the hip, buttock, groin and upper thigh tends to be interrelated. Patients often present complaining of pain in the 'hip' but point to the buttock or lower back as the site of their pain. Most pain in the buttock has a lumbosacral origin. Pain originating from disorders of the lumbosacral spine (commonly) and the knee (uncommonly) can be referred to the hip region, while pain from the hip joint (L3 innervation) may be referred commonly to the thigh and the knee. Disorders of the abdomen, retroperitoneal region and pelvis may cause hip and groin pain, sometimes mediated by irritation of the psoas muscle. ++ Key facts and checkpoints Hip troubles have a significant age relationship (see FIG. 65.1). Children can suffer from a variety of serious disorders of the hip—such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), Perthes disease, tuberculosis, septic arthritis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and inflammatory arthritis—all of which demand early recognition and management. SCFE typically presents in the obese adolescent (10–15 years) with knee pain and a slight limp. Every newborn infant should be tested for DDH, which can usually be treated successfully when diagnosed early. Limp has an inseparable relationship with painful hip and buttock conditions, especially those of the hip. The spine is the most likely cause of pain in the buttock in adults. Disorders of the hip joint commonly refer pain to the knee and thigh. If a woman, especially one with many children, presents with bilateral buttock or hip pain, consider dysfunction of the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) as the cause. If a middle-aged or elderly woman presents with hip pain, always consider the underdiagnosed conditions of trochanteric bursitis or gluteus medius tendonitis (greater trochanteric pain syndrome). ++ FIGURE 65.1 Typical ages of presentation of hip disorders Graphic Jump Location+View Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt) ++ A diagnostic approach ++ A summary of the diagnostic strategy model is presented in Table 65.1. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 65.1 Hip and buttock pain: diagnostic strategy model View Large|Favorite Table|Download (.pdf) Table 65.1 Hip and buttock pain: diagnostic strategy model Q.

Nicole Richie Gossip
Nicole Richie gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Failed audition? Or initiation?
Nicole Richie hit the gym the other day. She's not usually photographed at the gym. Nicole would rather be photographed all steezy and sh-t wearing Winter Kate. You know who always gets photographed at the gym, though? Yeah. Ashley Greene. And somehow on the day she and Nicole were working out together, the paps show up – several agencies – to document the fact that they are (or were) friends. Full Story
More celebrity literature
We were treated to Nicole Richie's latest masterpiece yesterday – click here for a refresher –and of course you know that that Snooki troll has signed a book deal, and now, via Just Jared Full Story
Nicole writes...again
Why? And you know I like her a lot. I love her style, I love her clothes, I love her attitude, most of the time, with a few exceptions, and mostly I love that she seems to have distanced herself from Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton. But goddamn, the writing, the books, it's for sh-t. I have a copy on my desk, browsed through it a couple of weeks ago while on a call with my ma. Full Story
Nicole Richie: birthday, boots, and bachelorettes
Ugh. It's that word again. Bachelorette. So lame. After I advocated for using Stag yesterday – click here if you missed it – many of you offered Doe as the female alternative. But... that's almost the same. It's Bambi's mother. Full Story
Nicole Richie's dinner games
Nicole Richie covers the new issue of UK InStyle. She looks great, love the styling, and the interview apparently went much better in comparison to the one she gave the Telegraph when she was in London a couple of months ago. Maybe it was because she was tired...but her bitch was out. My favourite. After all, no one ever doubted, even after having children, that Nicole Richie has some attitude. Full Story
Nicole & Joel are OK
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were photographed hand in hand on the way to an art show yesterday. Aside from their Twitter correspondence, which has been regular and unremarkable, the two have kept it quiet as a couple and then of course Star Magazine reported that Joel was cheating on claims that some DJ saw it go down, only that DJ totally denied the report. Full Story
MET Tired: Nicole Richie
Over it. The Disco Earth Mother Boho. Over it. Am over seeing Nicole Richie in a loose flowy muu. She calls it the Winter Kate. I call it a f-cking rut. Even if it is Marc Jacobs. And there's too much hair happening. It's too heavy. It's weighing down her housecoat. She doesn't look quite like a grownup. Full Story
After Ebola – sweat it out
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were photographed a couple of days ago out for a run with friends. Or whatever their version of running is. Over the weekend Nicole ran into Ebola Paris Hilton, the first time the two were spotted together publicly in a long time. As you know, since Nicole has had her children, she's pretty much stayed away from that piece of diseased sh-t. Full Story
OK Harlow...
I'm usually immune to babies, but this Harlow Richie Madden is wearing me down. So goddamn cute I have to look at pictures of her every time they're available. This is Harlow out and about the other day with her mother after dance class. I like her chubby cheeks and her chunky legs and the naughty look on her face. Full Story
Best f-ck you to Ebola: Nicole Richie
Ebola Paris Hilton will not be invited to the Oscars. There's no f-cking way. That piece of sh-t can't even step into an Oscar party. A few years ago, the same could be said of Nicole Richie. But now you see the power. The power of the motherhood whitewash. To her credit, Nicole's transformation from anorexic twat to responsible parent and entrepreneur has been nothing short of remarkable. Full Story
It's a purple nightgown
Sorry! Just had to crash for an hour before the game. I was nodding off at my laptop. This is Nicole Richie today in Paris presenting her Winter Kate collection at the Galleries Lafayette. Michelle, Duana, and I spent too many hours in there last year obsessing over everything. Those two couldn't get enough of the "slips". Full Story

Over one million patients per year undergo some type of procedure involving cartilage reconstruction. Polymer hydrogels, such as alginate, have been shown to be effective carriers for chondrocytes in subcutaneous cartilage formation. The goal of our current study was to develop a method to create complex structures (nose bridge, chin, etc.) with good dimensional tolerance to form cartilage in specific shapes. Molds of facial implants were prepared using Silastic ERTV. Suspensions of chondrocytes in 2% alginate were gelled by mixing with CaSO(4) (0.2 g/mL) and injected into the molds. Constructs of various cell concentrations (10, 25, and 50 million/mL) were implanted in the dorsal aspect of nude mice and harvested at times up to 30 weeks. Analysis of implanted constructs indicated progressive cartilage formation with time. Proteoglycan and collagen constructs increased with time to approximately 60% that of native tissue. Equilibrium modulus likewise increased with time to 15% that of normal tissue, whereas hydraulic permeability decreased to 20 times that of native tissue. Implants seeded with greater concentrations of cells increased proteoglycan content and collagen content and equilibrium and decreased permeability. Production of shaped cartilage implants by this technique presents several advantages, including good dimensional tolerance, high sample-to-sample reproducibility, and high cell viability. This system may be useful in the large-scale production of precisely shaped cartilage implants. 2001

This is how our forwards currently stand: D.Sedin H.Sedin Hansen Higgins Sutter Burrows Baertschi Horvat Virtanen Etem Granlund Dorsett
The lines need to be reformulated. Vrbata needs to be on the first. Higgins and Bonino need to be split up. Bonino has to stay 2nd line centre. Kassian and Matthias could be split up too, spread the size out. Sedin Sedin Vrbata Burrows Bonino Kassian Matthias Richards Hansen Higgins Horvat Dorsett Why not try that out for 5 games?
This guy is going to be an absolute beast for us. He is going to be a top 3 guy in the league in 6 or 7 years IMHO.
No, no... it's a "Re-TOOL".
First we needed a re-start. Now we need a re-tool. Next we'll need a re-build.
I think next season there will be 3 or 4 pieces changing on this team. I don't know about bold moves but I think if we don't make the playoffs then he needs to sit down with the whole team and ask if everyone or anyone is willing to be traded because the core chemistry needs to be changed. Before next season lots of teams will be making changes, this year we are stuck with what we got. We will not trade away any young guys. We need them on our team. I would like to see the Sedins on the 2nd line next year, and I would like to see a new first line emerge. I think Kesler should maybe play wing, or go back to being a 3rd line defensive center. I also think this season Danial should play winger with Kesler playing centre and maybe Higgins on the other wing. Line 2 maybe Henrik between burrows and Kassian. Perhaps a lot of what Torts was trying at the beginning of the year should be tried again. We need some fresh talented blood on this team next season. This core is heading towards a dead end.
It's funny, just the other day I said we should call Burrows "Mr. Clutch".
Better to wait until next year when he hits free agency.
I feel the only way Jensen would make the Cnaucks is if he could play on the 2nd line. The problem is, that Kesler will not start the season and so we cannot tell if Jensen will have chemistry with Kesler. In order for Jensen to have a good shot at starting on the 2nd line we need Kesler to be 100%. It's too bad because Canucks really need a young guy like Jensen to earn a spot on the 2nd line. I guess we will have to wait until the following season.
4 or 5 years from now Canucks will struggle against Oilers.
Edmonton was more desperate and made promises that Gillis could not.... simple as that. Plus they sure have a heck of a lot of young star forwards to grow with...
over rated, over payed, not very good value for the dollar
If Hemsky was a player the Canucks wanted to re-sign then that trade would work, but the Canucks don't want or need him.
Maybe we could just Borrow Getslaf and Perry instead of actually trading for them.

How to get BC for Psi in the computing domain?
#1 |
Posts: n/a
July 26, 2000 Dear colleagues,
Notations ========= (x,y) Cartesian coordinates. (r,s) Curvilinear coordinates. P Stream Function P is defined as follow: u = dP/dy = dP/dr dr/dy + dP/ds ds/dy [1] v =-dP/dx =-dP/dr dr/dx - dP/ds ds/dx [2] Inlet Boundary condition ======================== For 0<y<ymax u(0,y)=1 v(0,y)=0 Now if I go to the computing domain, I have: 1=dP/dr dr/dy + dP/ds ds/dy 0=dP/dr dr/dx + dP/ds ds/dx Two equations with two unknowns: dP/dr and dP/ds Solving for dP/ds and integrating from s=0 to s>0 yields: P(r=0,s)= Int_{0}^{y(s)} [dr/dx] /[dr/dx ds/dy - dr/dy ds/dx] dy I have used my 2 BC, namely u=1 and v=0, to get a Dirichlet BC for the stream function P. I think it's the way to do it. Let's see now another boundary condition. Outlet Boundary condition ========================= For x=xmax and 0<y<ymax du/dx=0 dv/dx=0 In the computing domain I have: du/dr dr/dx + du/ds ds/dx=0 dv/dr dr/dx + dv/ds ds/dx=0 Using eqs [1] and [2] yields: [d^2P/dr^2 dr/dy + d^2P/drds ds/dy] dr/dx + [d^2P/drds dr/dy + d^2P/ds^2 ds/dy] ds/dx=0 [3] [d^2P/dr^2 dr/dx + d^2P/drds ds/dx] dr/dx + [d^2P/drds dr/dx + d^2P/ds^2 ds/dx] ds/dx=0 [4] From these two equations, how can I get my boundary condition for the sream function? I cannot isolate dP/ds from eqs [3] and [4]! Same remark applies when I have the following BC: du/dy=0 and v=0. It's a symmetry BC. Thank you so much in advance for replying to my question. My very best regards, Dr. Pierre Forges UAE University Mech. Eng. Dept. email@example.com |

(1). The coordinate transformation is not done UNTIL the coordinate transformation factors are determined or specified. You are the one who must specify these coordinate transformation factors. (2). So, you can arbitrarily create a new coordinate transformation (just like a structured mesh) and have all non-zero transformation factors. (3). But, who would do thing like that. (4). If your original inlet condition is nice and clean in x-y coordinate system, then keep the transformed coordinates exactly the same as the x-y coordinates by specifying the proper transformation factors in that region. In simple sentense, no stretching and rotation in the inlet region when creating the new coordinates. In this way, the new is identical to the old. But you are still using the new one, except that the transformation factors in those regions are such that nothing has changed. (5). This is the way to create the new coordinates. If you do not follow this rule, you will end up with a general distorted mesh over the inlet, and will have to use interpolation method to specify the inlet conditions in the new coordinates. So, you have to generate the mesh (or the cew coordinates) to simply the work by specifying the transformation factors.(or how the mesh should be stretched or rotated). (6). In other words, in your message, you have not even finished your coordinate transformation, because the transformation factors are not specified yet. You are the one who must supply the values of ds/dx(at i,j), ds/dy(at i,j), dr/dx(at i,j), and dr/dy(at i,j). (if s=x at i=1, and r=y at i=1, then ds/dx=1 at i=1, dr/dy=1 at i=1. ds/dy=dr/dx=0. Or you can let s=const*x, r=const2*y, the ds/dy and dr/dx are still zeros.)

Hotel Deco XV
Why We Love It
- Arguably the most stylish, luxurious hotel in town
- One of the only AAA 4-Diamond properties in the state
- A quick walk to the city's Old Market entertainment district
- Housed in a historic 14-story art deco building with great views on higher floors
88% (8 Member Ratings)
Map & Directions
Rooms & Rates
As one of just two AAA 4-Diamond properties in the state, the luxurious Hotel Deco XV has the added benefit of being just a few steps from the cobblestone-lined streets of Omaha's Old Market warehouse district, with restaurants, bars, museums, art galleries, theaters and shops.
Originally built in 1930, this 14-story art deco building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was completely revamped in 2010 to update the existing hotel and renovate every guest room, suite and public space. The hotel is currently undergoing another renovation to the bars, restaurants and meeting areas, but guests will be undisturbed, and the hotel's grab-and-go cafe is still available.
Rooms are spacious and outfitted in a contemporary silver and white palette with plush bedding, flat-panel TVs, minifridges and sleek, modern furniture. Suites have large separate seating areas, and the bathrooms sport Italian tile and spa-inspired showers with body jets.
The hotel doesn't have a pool or spa, but you can arrange for in-room massage services, and there is a fitness center on site. Car service (in a Mercedes Benz luxury sedan or van) is available for destinations within three miles of the hotel. Wi-Fi is complimentary, as is the overnight shoe-shine service.

Ask the Teacher
I am very uncomfortable with my child's teacher lately talking a lot about her religion and how she is proud of who she is in front of my child's class when she means who she is as a member of her church. I think it is totally out of bounds for the grade and for the fact that this is a public school. She has invited the children and some parents to learn more about her religion as well. I have a few questions for you before I go to our principal. … Are there rules for teachers that she is breaking? Aren't there Ed Codes or something about how teachers cannot try to indoctrinate kids to be their religion? What rules is she breaking besides common sense?
This is surely going to be a sensitive issue. The younger the student, the more cautious a teacher should be about discussing religion at all. Kids understand things differently at different ages and this dilemma is too much for a second-grader. As for the rules, you will learn more when you bring the specifics to your principal. If the teacher stops, the situation could end there. If the teacher insists she is within her rights, the exploration of those rights will go forward. Basically, we are not allowed to discriminate based on religion. We are also not allowed to teach about religion in terms of right and wrong. It should be common sense for a second-grade teacher in a public school classroom to keep her beliefs to herself.
I offer another experience with the kindergarten issue. People counseled me "your child is bright, so starting school will not be too much." Academically, he was fine. But socially, he would have benefited in more self-confidence and social skills if I had waited. I have, from that time, done my own survey, questioning parents as to their reasoning for that choice.
In more cases than not (even with my eight grandchildren), it was the parent's choice to start early that formed the deciding factor. Whether or not it is guilt over "held back", I am not sure. Social skills and emotional maturity are an important part of learning. My child, when he was in college, asked me, "Why didn't you let me stay back? I was always the youngest of my peers – always having to prove myself."
In all my years teaching and in writing this column, I have never heard from a parent who waited to send a child saying they were unhappy that they waited. I have, on the other hand, heard from many who wished they would have tried waiting. It is a safer bet to wait, but drawing a line and deciding that there is a time to start school is also OK. We spend a lot of time wanting to get everything right, and there is no such thing. We can only do our best and stay open to learning from others. In this case, I think the vote is in: when in doubt, wait.

Life does not accommodate you, it shatters you...
Every seed destroys its container
or else there would be no fruition.
~ Florida Scott-Maxwell
A Priestess is a woman who acts as a conduit between the Heavenly and the Earthly realms, as our world shifts and turns and re-awakens it's ties to the Divine Feminine the role of the Priestess is once again coming out into the light of day. The Priestess Grove is a sanctuary of Priestess tools, ideas and inspiration to encourage the growth and re-emergence of Goddess consciousness back into the third dimensional world.
To move, live and follow the cycles and rhythms of the Spiral Path, the path of the Divine Feminine, is one of the most familiar and eased ways of being in this world. This is the natural essence of humanity and is how we journeyed through life prior to the rise of the Patriarchy.
Since the rise of the Patriarchy, society has been overtaken by a linear way of being. We have been taught to have concise goals, to walk forward despite obstacles, to never give up, to get out there and to get it done. Time to be, to grieve, play, and rest has become regimented and wildly undervalued.
Still, the Goddess has been re~awakening in the consciousness of Woman, Child and Man for some time now, and with Her re~emergence the Spiral Path has been resurrected. The mysterious, elusive and hidden path of the Spiral is returning to our society as a viable way of being and living.
A year ago my family pilgrimaged and moved back to the small town that I grew up in. The vision that we had as we prepared for our move was a simplified life that included a lot of family, less work, and lot's of open country side.

John Locke, Toleration, and Lessons for Political Leaders in the 21st Century
Research Cluster
Speaker: | Edward M Yager, Western Kentucky University |
Website: | http://business-school.exeter.ac.uk/about/contact/findus/ |
Date: | Monday 19 March 2012 |
Time: | 4.00 - 5.30pm |

Further details
John Locke's Letter Concerning Toleration is a classic piece of political philosophy from 1689. The work is generally recognized by scholars as part of Locke's larger corpus of liberal political theory, which has had a profound influence on Western civilization, especially the United States of America. In this work, Locke examines the relationship between church and state and the implications of that relationship for people in a liberal society. Locke argues that there are compelling reasons for political leaders to exercise tolerance or neutrality on religious matters. I examine Locke's arguments and explore their relevance to political leaders in the 21st century.

So I was at Home Depot on Friday and saw a new oil-free air compressor that doesn't even appear to be on the website yet. It has pretty much all the same specs as the old model but instead of 150 max psi it is rated at 175 psi. The handle is in a new location as well and the overall design looks, well the same but more aero dynamic, I guess. Looks pretty nice and they have the same sku as the OF45150 so no price change. Just thought I would bring it to the attention of those on the forum.
No announcement yet.
Of45175 ???
Re: Of45175 ???
If possible, can you tell me about the status of the 2.5 gallon "Finish and Trim" compressor (Model # OL25135). I'm in the market for the immediate purchase of a small portable compressor like this (for finish nailing applications).
I do recall that it was introduced just before the holidays and then was supposedly marked "clearance", with units all over the country selling for well below the retail price. (I think it was about $169, IIRC.)
I see it is still listed on the web site as a "New" product, but my local HD has no idea. Originally they only received two of these and both were sold instantly.
In any case, it looks exactly like what I am in the market for... any chance that they are still available, or will be coming back soon???
Thanks in advance,
Re: Of45175 ???
I currently have a craftsman 20Gal 4.5 Hp that I bought thinking that I would do spray painting and air tools for my car. In reality I have only used it once or twice for spray painting and never purchased any air tools. I only use it for nailing framing to finish work. I also use it to blow bicyle tires and car tires if they need it.
Since I am trying to consolidate and save space in my garage. I am thinking of selling the craftsman and purchasing the Ridgid. However my concern is that I might have problems inflating a car tire from time to time.
Can anybody give me some feed back on my concerns? Should I consider this unit? It appears that it will meet all of my needs and just the concerns listed above.
Thanks in advance.

It might seem obvious that time lies at the heart of archaeology, since archaeology is about the past. However, the issue of time is complicated and often problematic, and although we take it very much for granted, our understanding of time affects the way we do archaeology.This book is an introduction not just to the issues of chronology and dating, but time as a theoretical concept and how this is understood and employed in contemporary archaeology. It provides a full discussion of chronology and change, time and the nature of the archaeological record, and the perception of time and history in past societies. Drawing on a wide range of archaeological examples from a variety of regions and periods, The Archaeology of Time provides students with a crucial source book on one of the key themes of archaeology.

Apparently, when I signed up for Goodreads in July, I decided I should read 20 books in 2012. I clearly remember making this decision, thinking it was a conservative goal for my first year of actually tracking what I'm reading. After all, I majored in English Literature in university! Do you know how much English majors read? (Approximately 8-10 books* per course, with at least 3 English courses a semester, but often more.)
20 books in a whole year? Pssh! I used to do that in 3 months!
As of today, I'm at 18. And a half.
I try to tell myself that it's really not that bad. After all, one of those books was Madame Bovary, and another Jane Eyre. I read Uncle Tom's Cabin in February. Pretty much all of September, I was stuck on Wuthering Heights, slogging through, wishing it were done. I gave up at 51% complete. Putting a book down before it's finished and picking up another one is something I just. don't. do. In short, I haven't been focusing my energies on easy books.
So, I thought I was doomed when December hit and I was sitting at 16 books out of 20. 4 books in a month when I hadn't finished a single one in November? But. RandomHouse to the rescue!
While I was in the depths of novel writing in November, I entered a draw for a write-in at the RandomHouse offices here in Toronto and was fortunate enough to be among those who won a spot at their conference tables. It was an amazing experience, but even more amazing were the free books they brought out by the box full for each of us to take home. Advanced copies mostly, even a few for books not yet released. I packed as many as I could into my bag and came home with a nice selection of brand new reading material. If you haven't noticed, I don't actually end up with new, written-sometime-in-the-last-two-years reading material very often. So, suddenly, I had this stack of books all written within the last year. Dutifully, I finished my novel, devoured the rest of The Golden Compass, and was subsequently blown away by the first two books I chose to read from the stack.
Bedbugs by Ben H. Winters
Bedbugs freak me out. Pekoe has brought fleas into the house a couple times, which is creepy and itch-inducing in itself, but bedbugs? When I was a student, I got all freaked out about bedbugs once and went into a frenzy of research even though I didn't have any reason to believe that I had them. This book is that research. It's that feeling of a slow, ebbing terror that you tell yourself is utterly irrational, while at the same time completely succumbing to the terror.
Bedbugs is the story of a young family who moves into a new apartment in NYC with an eccentric landlady that lives downstairs and a suspicious, mysterious past. And then, Susan Wendt, protagonist, finds a drop of blood on her pillow and her world spirals out of control from there.
At times, the book did get just a little tedious, a little silly. There's an assumption that develops about halfway through that makes the characters seem underdeveloped airy. But then, I hit the last part of the book and everything fell into place in this neat, terrifying package. Such a terrifying package. So perfect.
Definitely. Read this one.
The Reluctant Journal of Henry K. Larsen by Susin Nielsen
After finishing Bedbugs, I kind of wanted something a little lighter. Something a little less dark.
I have a feeling anyone who has read this book is already laughing at me. 10 pages in I was absolutely hooked, but absolutely aware that the cover sets you up for a cruel awakening. This is not a light, humourous read. I mean, it's humourous. But it's not light. It's the kind of book that has you grinning and nostalgic one moment and sobbing quietly behind your scarf on the bus the next, unable to stop reading.
As described, it's written in a diary format, by one Henry Larsen who is starting a brand new school in a new city, his whole life shaken by the tragic death of his brother. It's his journey to come to terms with the life now in front of him, a journey to come to terms with what his brother did.
The ending was perfect for me. Not exactly happy, certainly not finished, but full of such hope, even in the midst of intense brokenness.
And now? I'm reading this:
Pigeon Pie Mystery by Julia Stuart
I have very few thoughts about this yet. I'm only on page 30 or so out of over 300. But I think I'll enjoy this one too. Maybe not as much as The Reluctant Journal of Henry K. Larsen. Maybe differently than Bedbugs.
This is book 19.
I think I might make it to 20 after all.
And you? What books have you read recently? How many have you read this year? Do you keep track? What were the best ones you've read in 2012?
* 3-5 of which you will actually read thoroughly. The rest will, no doubt, just get skimmed. I've even written essays on books I didn't actually read.
(PS. Want to be my Goodreads friend?)
Tuesday, December 11, 2012

Ooh thanks for the book ideas! I am currently reading game of thrones. I couldnt get through wuthering heights either! I just hated it and I like most "classic" books.
PS- my friend DID get bedbugs once. and lemme tell you, the mental terror is so much worse than the actual bites. People need therapy after that :S

Walking Holidays in Spain, Hiking Breaks
The Camino de Santiago and much, much more
Whilst many thousands walk the pilgrimage route of the Camino de Santiago, there are truly delightful walking experiences to be enjoyed throughout Spain. In the south the Sierra Nevada mountains are the second highest range in Europe and walking the GR7 along their flanks is Andalucian bliss. In the sleepy Alpujarras the Spain of old can still be found, whilst the wild coast of Catalonia affords an interesting contrast.

One of the criticisms that has been leveled at ministers who blog is they spend time blogging that could be better spent working for their respective churches. People ask me on a regular basis "How do people find the time to blog as much as they do?" My honest answer is I'm not sure.
Museum 2.0 estimates how much time it takes for people to engage in certain web 2.0 activities, including Facebook, Twitter and blogging. Nina says it takes 1-5 hours a week if people are mere participants — commenting on blogs every once in a while or doing a Facebook page. For the bloggers out there, she says it takes 5-10 hours a week to run a blog.
So it's confession time. How long do estimate you spend online doing things like blogging, commenting on blogs, reading blogs and/or doing things like Facebook and Twitter?
And help me out by providing an answer for the people who ask me how you do it. How do you view your blogging? Is it part of your church ministry? Do you do it during "working" hours? Is blogging affecting your work at your church? Are there ethical issues related to blogging and holding a full time ministry position?
And I want some real honesty here. Some of you put a lot of thought and research into what you write. I know that takes time. If you feel you need to, anonymous comments will be accepted, but I'd like it more if people were open about how much time they spent on blogs and the like.

More Technical Issues For Obamacare, But Good News For Medicare
Monday, October 28, 2013
Aired 10/28/13
Monday was yet another troubled day for the Affordable Care Act.
Sunday night, the outside vendor that operates two key parts of the website that lets people browse and sign up for health insurance experienced a failure.
The failure took place at a vendor called Verizon Terremark, and the problem presumably took down other clients as well as HealthCare.gov, the federal website that people use to sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
By 7 am, federal officials say, the data hub at HealthCare.gov that certifies things like citizenship and eligibility for tax credits was back up and running. And by midafternoon Monday, the rest of the website was back up and running as well, they say. It's not known how many people tried and failed to get on the site Sunday.
But not all the news was bad. Monday brought good news for the 49 million people on Medicare, with officials announcing that premiums and deductibles won't increase in 2014.
That's the third straight year those patient costs have been less than projected or stayed the same. And Medicare officials also said seniors have saved more than $8 billion since the Affordable Care Act closed the prescription drug donut hole gap in coverage. It's a bit ironic, because public opinion polls consistently show that seniors are the least enthusiastic about the Affordable Care Act.
Fixing the other problems with the HealthCare.gov website will be a longer term project. But last week the new guy in charge, Jeff Zients, said they intend to have the site running smoothly by the end of November, something Health and Human Services officials reiterated Monday. And it does seem that while things are not fixed yet, the website's performance is getting incrementally better by the day.
But we're also hearing about people getting notices that their old health insurance is being cancelled, and that could be the next big political issue. Those people are in the individual market who buy their own insurance. That's about 14 million people out of more than 300 million Americans.
Some of them are going to have to buy new policies and some are going to have to pay more, because the policies they have now don't meet the current minimum requirements of the Affordable Care Act. But at the same time, there are people in the individual market who will no longer be paying extra because they're women, or older, or have preexisting medical conditions.
The fact is, one of the biggest things the Affordable Care Act does is remake the market for individually purchased policies. That's going to cause some dislocation for people in that market now. It's going to create winners and losers. And it's the losers who complain the loudest.

Remind your children:
give personal information such as name, birthday, address or phone number.
download pictures or documents from strangers.
use any personal information when creating a screen name or email accounts
Tips for Students
give personal information about yourself to anyone on line.
agree to meet anyone in person. If someone wants to talk to you in person, talk to an adult about it.
Don't respond
to emails or instant messages from people you do not know, even if they seem like they know you.
bully people on line.
put anything on line that you do not want to see printed and brought to school.
respond to messages that are scary.
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.
If someone writes an email or instant message to you that is threatening or harmful, don't delete it. Print it out and show it to an adult.
Recent national surveys show that 45% of fourth-to-eight grade students have been bullied. But it's not happening on the playground—it happens in their home. Bullies harass and threaten through the home computer. In most instances this occurs when parents are not present. In addition to bullying situations, children open themselves up to at risk situations.
Social Networks: myspace.com, facebook, etc.
If your child is using social networking site, please speak to your child immediately. Students attending elementary school are not old enough to manage these accounts appropriately. This can be a dangerous on-line activity due to the fact that strangers will have access to your child's personal information.
