This weekend I started experimenting with Bootstrap 4 which is in its Alpha 2 release. While I like what I saw, one lagging feature stuck out to me. Although it works to some extent there are few key CSS features missing to make the Bootstrap 4 navigation collapse like it did in Bootstrap 3. If you simply use the examples provided in the documentation, you will notice that the menu is far from responsive when collapsed on mobile devices.Luckily there are a few simple fixes we can do to make things right so that our Bootstrap 4 mobile menu (collapsible navigation) is the same functionality as the navbar collapse in Bootstrap 3. For this tutorial I am going to use the Dashboard example from the documentation. You can find the Dashboard example here: http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/examples/dashboard/Bootstrap 4 Mobile MenuFirst things first, let's make some small edits to the menu:[crayon-5ed8f68142827119222263/]You will notice a few things:For the button, we added a "pull-xs-right" … [Read more...] about Bootstrap 4 Mobile Menu – Collapsible Nav
How to Get Followers on Twitter
Clients often ask me for the advice on getting started with Twitter and, more importantly, how to get followers on Twitter. Unfortunately, unless you are a celebrity, a Fortune 500 CEO, or major brand, growing you Twitter following is going to be a relentless process and is not going to happen overnight. Once you get the hang of Twitter, and all the little Twitter tricks (i.e. @replies, # hashtags, DM, etc..), it can be a powerful tool for not only communicating with others, but generating leads, identifying job opportunities, and even landing jobs. Once you create a Twitter account though, the next question you will probably ask yourself is how to get followers on Twitter. I am assuming that you want to have a large number of followers reading and interacting with your content. If you don't, and want to keep a small group of people that you interact with, well there is nothing wrong with that approach either. Either way, you will probably wonder what the best way to build your … [Read more...] about How to Get Followers on Twitter
My Problem with Twitter
I will probably draw some criticism for this post, but here it goes. I have a love/hate relationship with Twitter. It is a great tool for keeping up with breaking news and to communicate quickly with people. But Twitter has a problem, actually two problems, and I know I am not alone in this thought process. First, there is not a month that doesn't go by where you don't hear of a Twitter account being hacked or taken over. The problem is that I think Twitter could either significantly reduce this issue or solve it entirely if they would implement better security for their users. Twitter currently offers Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for users, but their implementation of 2FA is so far off from a standard implementation that they have done more harm than good by implementing it. The root of the issue is that Twitter only allows a single account to be tied to a single phone number. For some users that may have multiple accounts this presents a serious issue. Twitter could fix this … [Read more...] about My Problem with Twitter

"Too scary!" my four year-old daughter wails.
She shuts her eyes tight as I lead her to the "safe" part of the Halloween super store. The section with the costumes that make her smile—princesses and cupcakes.
But to get there we had to walk past zombie babies, haunted dolls, and bloody limbs. I steered her away from a crawling mechanized corpse.
I know what you're thinking. Why would I even bring her inside this kind of place?
Because my 8 year-old son had begged for entry. I scuttled her to the kid section while he laughed at the Emoji costumes and the Trump and Clinton masks.
I watched him frown at some dangling heads before turning away.
During October there's no reliable way to avoid this stuff. I can't get my kids home from school without passing a house that has a bunch of those very heads hanging from the front awning.
Halloween is more for the grown-ups than it is for our kiddos.
We've forgotten what life was like before our awareness of zombies. Before faux decapitated bodies were par for the course.
Our culture revels in everything terrifying at Halloween and our children just have to deal.
There's no way to take them trick-or-treating through their own neighborhoods without running into the macabre. A few houses down, my neighbors have a full-size skeleton horse and rider on their front lawn. It's an epic display, though my daughter freaked out when she first saw it.
My oldest son got used to me saying "nothing scary or violent" as he searched for his costume. He finally got to be something called "The Pumpkin Maniac" on the last year he felt like dressing up. I caved and let him carry the skull-adorned scythe that came with it even though that prop was both "scary and violent."
My two youngest are not at that stage yet. They're not interested in anything scary though I know my 8 year-old son feels pressure to be okay with gore, however fake. He knows he should walk easy into the Halloween aisle stocked with hatchets and chainsaws and masks with large teeth.
My daughter settled on being "Little Red Riding Hood" a while back. She fell in love with the lush red cape when we stumbled on the costume in a store. When I searched online for accessories I was bombarded with sexed-up versions. Garter belts. Mini dresses with corsets. I should have known. There was even a sexy Big Bad Wolf costume.
My 8 year-old eventually decided to be the wolf—so his costume would match his sister's. I've seen this boy stick his tongue out at her when he thinks I'm not looking, and then other times he'll indulge in her tea parties and other sweetnesses he's barely outgrown. He's on a cusp that Halloween forces him to confront. That line between fear and nonchalance.
Choosing a Halloween costume is about forging an identity.
For weeks, kids at his school had smuggled in pictures or costume packaging. The Headless Horseman. Several iterations of Spiderman. "Someone had a mask with blood on it," my son announced when I gave him my edict: "nothing scary or violent." He's a third-grader, but my rule clashes with the rest of the world he sees. A culture that revels in the scary and the violent, openly, every October.
The creepy and the grisly become quotidian. Normal. Children can choose severed fingers as party favors. Graves and tombstones stab into lawns. Blood spills. The former academic in me knows that "horror" is all about outing everything that's usually kept hidden and in the dark in our culture—fears and fetishes. Everything repressed bursts forth. Our children may as well get used to it. But mine don't want to. Not yet.
An easy breakdown of Little Red Riding Hood, like all Grimm's fairy tales, reveals a tale that is, at heart, gruesome and scary.
Even without the wolf gobbling everybody up, Little Red Riding Hood is a stalker tale about getting lost.
I should have realized this before I bought their costumes. Why didn't I think this through?
I overheard my children chatting during their costume dress rehearsal a few days before Halloween.
"I'm not scary," my son told my daughter, as he fastened on the wolf head piece.
"I know," she said.
"I'm the big good wolf," he told her, "I'm not bad."
"You're the big GOOD wolf," she laughed with relief.
Here they were fixing Halloween all on their own. Rewriting the myths of the fairy tale that demanded they be adversarial.
"I'll protect you from the scary stuff," my son was telling her, "when we go out trick-or-treating, just don't look at it. Look away." She already had practice closing her eyes.
All of our children do. They are figuring out how to deal with a world naturally violent and scary. They know they are good. Cynicism eludes them. Until they figure out, like the rest of us grown-ups, how to be nonchalant about violence. How to accept how normal the world is when it's scary.

I am writing this week from Nuremberg, Germany where my wife and I are serving an English speaking church for the summer. We are surrounded with history, culture and beauty. The church is composed of remarkable people from Germany, Ireland, England, Romania, Ukraine, China, Cameroon, India, Sweden, Austria and others. Most are in their twenties and thirties.
This church reminds me that Jesus Christ was sent for all people of every nation in every age. When God called Abraham, He promised to make him a blessing to all the nations. Isaiah said, "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations." (Isa. 42:1) And again, "The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God." (Isa. 52:10) Those promises are fulfilled in Jesus.
The coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost reflects the fact that Jesus came for everyone. Shortly after His resurrection, many people gathered in Jerusalem from many nations, and they all heard the message of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection in their own language. "Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" (Acts 2)
When John saw the vision that he recorded in Revelation, he declared, "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
Clearly, God wants people from every nation to experience His salvation in Jesus Christ. To accomplish this purpose, God is moving people all around the world and exposing them to opportunities to hear the gospel. According to a recent study by Lousanne World Pulse, Christianity as a whole is growing faster than the global population with the fastest growth in Asia and Eastern Europe. We are living in one of the most exciting eras of human history, when more people are discovering faith in Christ from all over the world than ever before.
A few years ago our daughter went on a mission trip to Andhra Pradesh in India. At the same time I visited Lubbock, Texas. When I checked into the hotel, the clerk who greeted me was from Andhra Pradesh.
Whether we are in Dallas, Houston, Lubbock or Nuremberg, Germany, every believer needs to reach out to international visitors around them, to welcome them, to love them, and to share with them the life-changing difference Jesus Christ makes in our lives.

Since 1990, the National Wildlife Strike Database has reported more than 200,000 bird strikes on commercial planes. This data tells us when planes are most vulnerable to these types of collisions.
US Airways Flight 1549 is about two minutes into its journey from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2009 when bird strikes to both engines cripple the plane. What results is an emergency landing on the Hudson River that astonishes the world and shines a light on a growing problem affecting our increasingly busy skies. Follow a team of forensic ornithologists and discover the remarkable research being conducted to solve the bird strike problem.
Dr. Carla Dove directs the Feather Identification Lab at the National Museum of Natural History. Carla grew up in rural Virginia where she developed a love for the outdoors, spending her summers roaming through the woods and wading through mountain streams. Earning a Bachelor's Degree in Wildlife Biology from the University of Montana, she learned the specialized skill of 'bird skinning' and focused her studies in Ornithology. After graduating, she returned home to the Blue Ridge Mountains, but then landed a job as a Museum Specialist at the Smithsonian based on her experience in bird specimen preparation. In the Division of Birds, Carla connected with her mentor Roxie Laybourne, the pioneer of Forensic Ornithology, and began studying the microscopic characteristics of feathers to aid in the identification of birds. Dr. Dove completed her M.S. and Ph.D. at George Mason University while working in the Division of Birds.
Now, as Director of the Feather Identification Lab, Carla leads one of the only laboratories in the world that specializes in the identification of 'snarge' (bird ick). The lab processes over 9,000 cases each year and mainly specializes in the identification of birdstrikes (bird/aircraft collisions). The lab is supported by interagency agreements with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and the FAA to identify birds that are hazardous to aviation safety. The skill of feather identification is also applied to law enforcement cases, studies of prey remains, and has been used a time or two in food contamination cases.

Great News: Beginning this February, Orange-Durham Americans United for Separation of Church and State will begin a monthly Book/Coffee Club.
What: Read and discuss important books related to current First Amendment Issues locally and nationally, written by renowned authors. Books selected for reading and review will be "Must Read" works that are critically relevant to AU's mission, and to our nation's well-being.
Our first selection is Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of The Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America by Professor Nancy MacLean, William H. Chafe Professor of History and Public Policy at Duke University.
When: Thursday, February 15, 2018 from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM.
Where: UNC Hospital Cafeteria, Hillsborough Branch. Café is located on the first floor to the right of the lobby area.
Discussion Leader: Jerry Morris, Co-Chair of ODAU
Please, come join us. Bring a friend. Sip some coffee as we share ideas and collective wisdom about the book on review. We have an important mission and message to spread in our area and these works can help us.
Regardless of political affiliation, MacLean's book is a true "Must Read" for any citizen concerned about the home-grown assaults on our Democracy. As Prof. MacLean's work demonstrates, this assault is well-planned and well-funded. In NC, we have seen the dreadful fruits of this "stealth" plan in our current legislative houses. We can see its fruit in the current makeup of the U.S. House and Senate. If the trend is not reversed by faithful citizens who will put our nation's Democracy above their party's dogma, we may soon see the plan's democracy-eroding effects in our courts throughout the land.
Yes, please join us for the discussions even if you haven't read the work, or haven't finished it. Please read "Democracy in Chains" even if you cannot make it to the coffee. The information you will gain and share is too important to miss. Our First Amendment rights are too precious to lose.


text: McIlroy had trailed Sullivan by one stroke after the third round [Reuters] Rory McIlroy's triumph at the Dubai's DP World Tour Championship helped him to be crowned Europe's top money earner for the third time in four years. McIroy carded a final round 66 to end with a 21-under aggregate score of 267, having begun the day on 15 under, a shot adrift of England's overnight leader Andy Sullivan. Playing partner Sullivan's 68 left him on 268, one stroke short despite stretching his advantage early on. The world number 53 birdied two of the first four holes, McIlroy carding a bogey and a birdie over the same stretch to extend the 28-year-old's lead to three strokes. McIlroy responded with three successive birdies on holes five to seven, closing to within a stroke at the turn and the world number three took the lead after 14, tapping in from two feet for a third birdie in four holes. The four-time major winner found the water on 17 but recovered to make a bogey, sealing victory with a 12-inch putt for par on the final green. South Africa's Branden Grace (67) was third on 273, while compatriot Charl Schwartzel (69) was one of six players tied on 275. McIlroy's 12th tour title means the 26-year-old Northern Irishman also retained the Race to Dubai, formerly known as the Order of Merit and given to Europe's top money earner. He was also victorious in 2012 and 2014. SOURCE: Reuters Sport Golf Dubai

On Monday we had a space between Carol Services, and we needed to do a few jobs in the City, so we went in on the motorbike. We parked up and walked through Town Hall square, where the Nativity Scene, and children's displays were bright and cheerful.
I paused to put my camera back in my bag, by the War Memorial at the corner of the Square. Then I had to stop and photograph it.
I confess to my shame, that I had always thought this was a WW1 Memorial [although I knew there was the 'Lutyens Arch' in nearby Victoria Park] It was only this week that I discovered it was actually a memorial to those lost in the Boer Wars in South Africa. There was a temporary WW1 Memorial and fountain in the square, but only the fountain remains, as the memorial was smashed up in 1954. Why didn't I notice the dates on this memorial before? I must have walked past it dozens of times.
We went into Cafe Roma for a coffee. I love it in there – but no doubt we will find another good coffee place when we move.
Then off to Button Boutique for some wool, and Bob looked in the window of the music shop which was closed. "Look at the finish on that guitar" he said "It is called 'suede'" So I looked…
Then I noticed the sign on the neck of the guitar- Ultra Swede!!
After the bank, post office and other things, we rode home. Then drove in the car down to see Frank and Barbara.Their poppy from the Tower of London has arrived, and is standing by the front door. It was great to actually get close enough to touch one.
And it was even more lovely to be with family members at Christmas time

The descriptor saint is used way too often. "Your mother was a saint," Sheriff Sam Deeds is told in Lone Star, the context being that it's saintly to stay with a philandering husband, the sort of talk that accurately reflects the way laypeople use the term. Patience, generosity, warmth—pick a positive quality broadly applied by an individual, and informally it's a mark of sainthood.
Of course, the concept of saints is far from informal. Originating from the Latin sancire (consecrate)—which itself derives from the Greek word ἁγιάζω, meaning something along the lines of being holy by virtue of being set apart from the world—with literal sainthood lying in the province of the Catholic Church. Protestants may play sainthood's greatest hits (John, Paul, Matthew, and Ringo…wait, not Ringo), and religious scholars have a few faves, for whom the title is used honorifically (Augustine, Aquinas), but in so-called modern times, only Catholics get all official about it.
There's a very specific road to sainthood. An investigation must find that nothing hinders the case for your canonization. Further study of your life must find that you embodied "heroic virtues." And at least one miracle must be on your résumé—two if you weren't martyred.
Of course, you have to be dead first. Usually the canonization process doesn't begin until the would-be saint has been deceased for at least five years, but as happened with Roberto Clemente in Major League Baseball and its rough equivalent to sainthood, the Hall of Fame (which also has a five-year waiting process after the "death" of that player's career. Coincidence?), special candidates can be fast-tracked. Mother Teresa is a case in point, as Pope John Paul II waived the waiting period.
There's something at least a little disingenuous about sainthood in our relatively modern age. Our vastly improved understanding of the physical world and its processes, coupled with an ability to document most everything in myriad ways, leaves little leeway for claims of miracles being accepted by any but the super superstitious. The rest of us need, if not proof, at least hard evidence.
Any unbiased look at the lives of Mother Teresa (sainthood pending) or John Paul II (canonized April 2014) will find them wanting on this score. Teresa may have done much to ease the suffering of many, and John Paul II may have done yeoman's bringing the papacy into technological times. But miracles? Nah. And it will be the same for every John, Joan, and Regular Joe from here on out. There's a reason that today the "miracles" that get you sainthood are no more than someone's being gravely ill but recovering for reasons leaving their doctor's stumped and saying it was because of So-and-So (as happened in the case of John Paul II). A combination of unlikelihood, ignorance, and faith passes muster. Former supposed saints earned their stripes in a world without scrutiny. But that world is no more, and the miraculous ain't what it used to be.
But don't put away the censer just yet, because we may have a real-life saint (relatively speaking, at least) right here in our midst. His name is Pope Francis, and he's the right guy for the job.
Frankly (ha!), I was slightly disappointed when Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected pope. Not because I had anything against him—I'd never heard of the fellow—but because an African cardinal was on the shortlist. On a planet where Africa is far and away the most troubled, neglected, and needful continent—in no small part due to lingering bigotry against dark-skinned peoples by the economically superior light-skinned world—for a non-Afrikaner African leader of the Church might have been a game-changer for the Dark Continent.
But Pope Francis is a winner. He has taken a religion that for its entire history has taken Dark Ages stances toward homosexuality and science and aligned it with enlightenment. The "Big Bang" happened and evolution is happening, he affirms. He says he is in no position to pass judgment on homosexuals.
Yes, these are ideas that almost any adolescent is capable of grasping. And for all the dramatic headlines about Francis's comments, he's not recommended doctrinal changes regarding homosexuality; and he's not the first pontiff to be open-minded to "Big Bang" cosmology and Darwinian evolution. Then there's his affirmation of some of the Church's most backward-looking positions (e.g., no artificial contraception). But there is just something about this particular Bishop of Rome makes us feel like he's worthy of job. That's more than a neat trick.
Ironically, it seems Pope Francis is less widely loved within the Church itself. New York Times columnist Ross Douthat warns that although "Francis is charismatic, popular, widely beloved [… and] until this point, faced strong criticism only from the church's traditionalist fringe, and managed to unite most Catholics in admiration for his ministry," continuing down the progressive path he seems to be beating might "leave many of the church's bishops and theologians in an untenable position, and it would sow confusion among the church's orthodox adherents—encouraging doubt and defections, apocalypticism and paranoia (remember there is another pope still living!) and eventually even a real schism."
But it's not going to happen. Just like with cannabis criminalization, the old guard is dying off. Through the intercession of Pope Francis, the Catholic Church is becoming a holier house, filled with less ignorance, less prejudice, less hostility.
And why not? Mirabile dictu, the honest-to-God truth is that belief in the Holy Trinity does not entail a literal belief in Genesis or strict adherence to the laws of Leviticus. Barriers between Catholics and the acceptance of evolution and homosexuality are manmade, not divine constructs. The foremost experts in inflationary cosmology will freely admit they don't know what started it all, just as the foremost experts in biology and neuroscience and psychology will say they can't say whether we have souls.
The world at large is encouraged by Pope Francis. We like it when leaders—any leaders—have their hearts and minds in the right place. We like it when our traditions fit our times. We like to see society being reshaped along the lines of what most believers and nonbelievers alike picture when we imagine God: reasonable, merciful, just, accepting, loving, egalitarian, pragmatic; free from pettiness, disingenuousness, prejudice, and hatred.
And so we like Pope Francis. Hell, we love him. Yeah, we're overenthusiastic. Yeah, we're jumping the gun. But he's humbly been going about his business for less than two years, and so far, so good. What might he do in a decade?
So, while it may be premature, if you're thinking about popes as saints, may we present St. Francis of Argentina for your consideration? Hey, if the halo fits.
Love and formic acid,

Police seized a rifle from the suspect.
JACKSON TWP. A man was arrested when he ran from a local motel where police were conducting an investigation Wednesday night.
Stark County Jail records do not list the nature of the investigation, but the records show officers quickly caught and arrested Nathan L. Baker, 34, of the 2500 block of 11th Street NW.
Baker was wanted on an unrelated theft warrant when he was arrested at 5:15 p.m. at the motel in the 6800 block of Sunset Strip Avenue NW. Police said he lied to them about his identity and then ran away.
The officers arrested Baker and seized a Remington rifle, which jail records show he is prohibited from having.
Baker was jailed on the warrant and on charges of obstructing official business, resisting arrest and having weapons under disability.
Tuscarawas County court records show he went to prison in 2014 for breaking and entering, theft and receiving stolen property. He was sentenced in 2012 to three years of community control for coin machine tampering.
He remained in the jail early Thursday, held without bond pending a Massillon Municipal Court hearing.

Using a holistic approach to get the most out of your assets
One of the largest expenses of running a business is the cost of providing and maintaining facilities. In order to deliver the best business outcomes, facilities management needs to shift from a 'condition' approach to a 'level of service' approach. This evolves from simply assessing facilities maintenance based on the condition of the asset, to evaluating a number of parameters including capacity, fit-for-purpose, condition and frequency of use.
This is a strategic approach, requiring high-level asset management plans that consider the current condition and functionality of the asset, asset degradation, and the treatments required to deliver its service potential.
To get the most out of their facilities, businesses need to develop a holistic, enterprise approach to facilities management that considers the strategic, tactical and operational lifecycle of assets. This can be challenging in an environment where facilities management and its systems are siloed from the rest of the business. The typical building has various "islands" of data scattered throughout the organisation with no cohesive strategy for data management.
There are generally a number of stakeholders throughout the business invested in the operational and financial management of its facilities. However, both the facilities manager and associated information management systems are not always integrated with the entire business.
If you are operating with disparate systems for financials, building management and contract management, it is very difficult to improve outcomes and long-term planning. Similarly, you will have trouble managing buildings and assets from acquisition or capital construction, right through the operating life.
Using one integrated information system for all stakeholders offers a single source of truth and transparency across the entire business. It ensures the CFO has full visibility of facilities maintenance costs, utilisation measurements and operational costs.
A true enterprise facilities management system will allow a business to improve visibility and gain compliance, by ensuring all the components are operating cohesively, not in isolation. It will allow entire lifecycle management of the facilities - from capital project management to long-term strategic planning.
We've observed that customers who embrace a holistic approach are achieving improved facilities utilisation, resulting in reduced operation and maintenance costs and enhanced customer satisfaction.
For best practice, you need to consider more than just the day-to-day management of buildings. To get the most out of your facilities, you need to be able to determine for the next twenty years, what you need to spend, on what assets and when. This allows for a more accurate and scientific assessment of long-term capital planning, with the confidence that money will be spent on the right assets at the right time.

Redacted from article by CAROLINE B. GLICK
June 24, 2011
Just before Obama snowballed his Jewish donors in Washington, Yale engaged in a similarly transparent bid to romance its Jewish supporters. This week we have been witness to two transparent attempts to sell liberal American Jews a bill of goods. And from the looks of things, both were successful.
The first instance of liberal American Jewish credulity this week unfolded in Washington. At a five-star hotel, eighty Jewish donors shelled out between $25,000-35,800 to attend a fundraiser with US President Barack Obama.
The second instance Yale University launched new program on anti-Semitism after Jews decry Yale closing anti-Semitism study center.
As has become his habit, Obama opened his remarks by talking about his commitment to Israel's security. And as has become his habit, Obama went on to say that it is his job to force Israelis to bow to his demands because he knows what is best for Israel. Speaking of his ongoing efforts to force Israel to concede its right to defensible borders before entering into negotiations with the Hamas-Fatah unity government, Obama said, "There are going to be moments over the course of the next six months or the next 12 months or the next 24 months in which there may be tactical disagreements [between the US and Israel] in terms of how we approach these difficult problems."
Obama went on to say that he expects his American Jewish supporters to take his side in his attacks on Israel. As he put it, the quest for peace between Israel and the Hamas-Fatah government is "going to require that not only this administration employs all of its creative powers to try to bring about peace in the region, but it's also going to require all of you as engaged citizens of the United States who are friends of Israel making sure…that you're helping to shape how both Americans and Israelis think about the opportunities and challenges."
And how did the Jewish donors respond to Obama's presentation? They loved it. They were, in the words of Obama donor Marilyn Victor, "re-assured." Speaking with Politico, New York businessman, Jack Bendheim said, "I think he nailed and re-nailed his commitment to the security of the State of Israel." Other attendees interviewed in the article echoed his sentiments. Imagine how they would have swooned if Obama had confessed a secret love for bagels and lox.
What does Obama have to do for these liberal American Jews to accept that he is no friend of Israel's? Apparently the answer is that there is nothing Obama can do that will convince his many American Jewish supporters that he is not Israel's friend. They will never believe such a thing because doing so will require them to choose between two unacceptable options. The first option is to admit to themselves that in voting for Obama, they are voting against Israel.
Just hours before Obama snowballed his Jewish donors in Washington, Yale University engaged in a similarly transparent bid to romance its willfully gullible Jewish supporters. Yale University's announcement two weeks ago that it was shutting down the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Anti-Semitism (YIISA) unleashed a storm of protest. Students, faculty, alumni and major Jewish organizations all expressed anger and disappointment with Yale's surprise move.
Yale justified its decision on the basis of two falsehoods. First it claimed that YIISA had failed to undertake sufficient top quality scholarship. Yet in the wake of the announcement dozens of leading scholars of anti-Semitism co-signed a letter authored by Prof. Alvin Rosenfeld, who directs Indiana University's Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism, praising the YIISA as "a pioneer in advancing research on contemporary manifestations of anti-Semitism."
The second reason that Yale claimed it was closing YIISA was because there was insufficient faculty and student interest in its programs. This falsehood was ridiculous on its face since several dozen Yale faculty members served on YIISA's various academic committees and boards of advisers.
The main suspicion provoked by Yale's decision to close YIISA was that it was doing so to appease Islamic critics. YIISA's Director Prof. Charles Small focused its attention on contemporary forms of anti-Semitism. Since the most dangerous form of contemporary anti-Semitism is Islamic anti-Semitism, Small made Islamic anti-Semitism a focus of YIISA's research activities. The concern arose that Yale closed YIISA in order to end campus research and discourse on the topic.
Monday Yale tried to quell the controversy surrounding its decision to close YIISA by announcing that it was forming a new institute called the Yale Program for the Study of Anti-Semitism. Yale announced that its tenured professor Maurice Samuels will serve as director of the program. Samuels is a scholar of French literature. In his acceptance announcement Samuels addressed Yale's critics promising that, "YPSA will discuss both contemporary anti-Semitism and historical anti-Semitism." He also said that in the coming year YPSA will hold a major conference on the topic of French anti-Semitism. Samuels' statement is notable for two reasons.
First, if it is true, then the only difference between YPSA and YIISA is the director. And the only thing Yale was really interested in doing was firing Small. To offset criticism of its transparent move, Yale has been waging a whispering campaign against Small. Yale administrators have been insinuating that because the university did not hire him as a regular member of the Yale faculty that Small is not an academic, or somehow not good enough for Yale. But Small was in fact, on the Yale faculty. He was a lecturer in the Political Science department and ran one of Yale's post-doctorate and graduate studies fellowship programs. Despite his intensive work building YIISA, Small taught a heavy course load.
Their willingness to support Yale's bid to curtail research and discussion of Islamic Jew-hatred and allow Yale to scapegoat Small demonstrates an affliction common to liberal American Jews today. It is the same affliction that makes them unable to countenance voting for a Republican.
That affliction is class snobbery. By insinuating that Small is not up to Yale's academic standards, Yale was able to rally the Jewish members of its larger community by appealing to their snobbery. The fact that Yale didn't mind Small serving as a dissertation advisor to its doctoral candidates is immaterial. The facts be damned.
The same Ivy League snobbery that makes it socially unacceptable to vote for a Republican – and certainly not for a Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann despite their deep-seated and consistent support for Israel – is what allowed Yale to get away with ending its study of Islamic anti-Semitism by besmirching Small's academic achievements and good name. Remove him from the club, and you end opposition to his academically unjustifiable firing.
The great circus master P.T. Barnum said famously that there is a sucker born every minute. Liberal American Jews aren't born suckers. They become suckers out of their own free will.

The Bed Hiding in Your Closet
Murphy bed uses can be a primary purchasing factor for those with limited space. In addition to storage concerns, Murphy bed designs have come a long way from the stereotypical television image of the folding wall bed.
For those that are less familiar with the Murphy bed uses and design, it consists of a folding bed that can be raised and lowered as necessary. When raised, it is hidden from view and typically camouflaged among the rest of the room. The Murphy bed was invented right around 1900 and has some kind of spring or piston lifting system to allow you to easily raise and lower the bed.
If space considerations are your primary concern, you can incorporate a Murphy bed into a whole room or apartment organization system. By using other

Productive Soil, Productive Faith #1
And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Luke 8:8)
But we need to ask: What does it mean to be productive spiritually? What is Jesus pointing us to in showing this productive soil with its overwhelming level of yield?
In verse 14, we have defined for us the failure of the thorny soil to bear fruit. The term translated mature is actually a fruit bearing term, but it has a negative attached to it. So those distracted by prosperity, passions and worry have fruit that never grows to maturity. Their faith is immature.
I used to wonder why people would shuck their sweet corn at the grocery store. I no longer wondered after I bought a bag of sweet corn one day several years ago. When I sat down on the back step and began shucking the corn, to my surprise, I found that about half of the ears were little more than leaves and silk. Oh, it had kernels on the cob, but few had filled out. The ears had only partially developed. The ears offered plenty of promise, but little fruitful maturity.
In this contrast between the immaturity of the crop in the thorny soil and the productivity of the harvest from the good soil, Jesus is speaking of the fully developed life of a disciple. In the following chapters of Luke, specifically 9, 11, and 14 Jesus will speak extensively about the cost of following him. The kind of person it will take to be his disciples … The self-sacrifice of cross bearing … The willingness of count the cost … The hard moral choices … The enduring commitment to follow Jesus wherever he goes and however hard it gets.
Paul speaks in comparable life changing terms in Colossians 1:
The Productive is the person who isn't willing to settle for a partial following, a marginal discipleship, a divided loyalty.
The Productive is all in … Nothing held back … Nothing in reserve … No holds barred … Never give up.
I Resolve To Release Myself From Bitterness
It's Not The End Of The World
Undoubtedly, many changes will result from this election. However, if we are believers, it is hardly the end of world. Our hope does not rest in such transient things as elections or even nations.
Here is a sampling of things that will remain unchanged as the results of the election roll in:
1) God's word is still true and his authoritative revelation;
2) God will still reign sovereign on his throne;
3) Mankind will still be subject to sin and powerless to resolve the problem;
4) Jesus is still God's Son, the conquering Redeemer, Savior of mankind;
5) Mankind still will only be redeemed through faith in the saving work of Jesus;
6) The resurrection of Christ still empowers God's children to live new lives freed from bondage to sin;
7) The church is still called to exhibit the grace and love of Christ with one another before the world
8) The mission of the church to share the gospel with a lost world will be unchanged;
9) Christians will remain aliens and strangers in this world because this is not our home;
10) The world will still not embrace believers as their own because the people of this world hated Christ first;
11) Jesus is still going to return to bring his people home to be with him forever;
12) Those who make the choice to be alienated from God in this life will remain alienated for eternity.
Looking at this list, I'm not so sure much of significance will really change come Wednesday. Perhaps the emanate changes will drive us to reliance on what is lasting and what really matters.
You Are A Long Distance Runner
All of today's major sports miss the spiritual point — In baseball, you run 90 feet at a time. In basketball, you run back and forth on a 75′ court. In football, you may be pushed for 100 yards.
We are stirred by the moment … by the spectacular demonstration of an instance of athleticism. A dunk or a block in basketball, an acrobatic catch in football, a hard hit in hockey, and an amazing catch or long home run in baseball.
Quadrennially, the summer Olympics is spotlighted by the track and field events. The largest attention is given in America to the shortest races – the 100 meter and the 110 meter hurdles. It seems that as the distances increase, the interest in the race by the American media decreases proportionately. Historically, that was not always true.
In the 5th century B.C., the Persians invaded Greece, landing at Marathon, a small town about 26 miles from the city of Athens. The Athenian army was seriously outnumbered by the Persian army, so the Athenians sent messengers to cities all over Greece asking for help.
The traditional origin of the marathon comes from the story how a herald named Phidippides ran the 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory and died on the spot. Phidippides was sent by the Athenians to Sparta to ask for help; a man named Eukles announced the victory to the Athenians and then died. Later sources confused the story of Phidippides, also called "Philippides," with that of Eukles. Although most ancient authors do not support this legend, the story has persisted and is the basis for the modern-day marathon.
It is this kind of marathon that is in the mind of the writer of Hebrews when he pens: "Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1. Or later, as he add: "Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees" (12:12).
The Christian life is more like the Boston Marathon, than a 40-yard sprint. Annually, thousands leave the starting line exhilarated at having begun the race, but as the miles added up the course would take its toll. Just as these runners would begin hitting the wall at the 20.5 mile mark, they would face their most menacing challenge, Heartbreak Hill. The next half mile, an incline that would be hard enough to run on its own, but after 20 miles is a battle. They would either determine that they would keep moving forward, or the hill would win. Many a runner has found themselves quitting, defeated by the Hill.
While some Christians may act as if the Christian life is a leisurely walk in the park. It is not a even 40-yard sprint. It is a grinding marathon that tests the endurance of our faith. As he continues on with the chapter he draws out the implications of the perseverance that must be necessary to complete such a race. It is a race fraught with challenge, pain and suffering.
Jesus is elevated as the model for our running. He pioneered the faith trail that we run, and ran it to completion. What does that mean? He never quit. When he reached his Heartbreak Hill it was called by another name, the hill of Golgotha. Even when reaching the finish line meant running through the most demeaning form of execution of his time, his pace never flagged. He continued to pick them up and put them down.
But we can find it easy to shift our focus off of Jesus, and onto other believers. We exchange the excellence of Jesus completed race for settling for beating out others, or even worse, just aspiring to run with the pack. I can come out looking pretty good, if I compare my spiritual fitness to those around me. But in comparison to Jesus, I am reminded of the training that I still need to complete.
That is why the author wrote, "Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart" (12:3). Here he is talking about "hitting the wall."
I have never run a marathon. The most I ever worked up to was 6 miles when I was a freshman in college. But I remember as I was beginning to stretch it out, I would hit the first wall at 3 miles. My legs would begin to ache, and my breathing would get labored. The thought would hit me, "Just stop". But I would keep on running. At about 5 miles I would be confronted with wall number 2, my legs would begin feeling like jelly, and my steps would be a bit less sure. I was feeling the Hebrews writers "weak knees." Again, I would hear that voice whisper, "You've gone far enough. Walk the rest of the way." But I would keeping pushing on. And the more I ran, the softer the whisper became, until it was completely hushed.
Some of us have run through our Christian life as if it were a series of sprints. We run for a bit. Get off the track. Grab something to drink. Catch our breath. Work out the aches, or let them have time to heal … and if we get around to it we might take another jog around the track.
The Christian life is about perseverance. It is about pushing past "the wall." It is about continuing to step forward in faith when every voice around us is screaming, "Just give up."
Our "walls" are different. Our walls may be the emotional pain of a past that haunts us. They can be the opposition that we receive to our faith by our family. It may be the ridicule heaped on by fellow students or co-workers. It may be the struggle to leave behind some sins that have dug themselves deeply into our soul. It may be trusting God is faithful when circumstances don't seem to give you any evidence that he can be trusted.
What is your wall? When you seem to be running well, what is it that pops up in your way … that presents a challenge that drains you and batters your faith leaving you fighting for the energy to take one more step? What is it that pulls you off course, and out of the race?
Faith That Works
It is time that we obliterate the false dichotomy between faith and works!
Martin Luther, at the dawn of the Reformation, coined the phrase, "Solo fides" – faith alone. The phrase sprang from his study of the book of Romans, in which he discovered that salvation is imputed upon a believer based on a response of faith, and not by any spiritual or moral action conducted on the part of the person.
At the same time, the Roman See was conducting a capital campaign in order to complete the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. One German monk, Johann Tetzel, had proven himself extremely proficient at raising funds through the sale of indulgences. These indulgences were the presumed superabundant leftover merits of prior saints, which the Roman Catholic Church had banked, and would make available to those who desired to reduce their time in purgatory. Tetzel, himself, advocated that "each time a coin in the chest would ring, a soul from purgatory would spring." Innocent victims of this huckster would gather in crowds to purchase these indulgences for themselves and family who had passed.
Luther considered Tetzel's selling off of God's grace a complete distortion of Christian theology. The phrase "Sola fides" emphasized that there are no actions that we can accomplish that will enact salvation on our or other's behalf. We were and are saved by faith, apart from any work to obtain it.
However, over time the concept of "Sola fides" morphed into a theological position that I believe Martin Luther would not have recognized. A strain of today's "faith only" theology teaches that since we are saved by faith, and that faith is even a gift imputed by God, works are inconsequential. Faith has absolutely no association with a life of morality or service. Faith can devolve into nothing more than a momentary intellectual acknowledgement. If a person responds to God in faith, it does not matter what they do with the rest of their lives … they can live like hell because heaven is already guaranteed.
The idea that faith and works are, not only two separate manifestations, but two manifestations that have no relationship, connection, or association does not ring true with the words of Scripture.
James responds to such a theological position that seeks to validate faith by a simple statement and a wave of the hand … "I have faith. That solves it!" … by asking to see it! He further presents his argument by saying, "You show me your faith, and I will show you my faith by my actions." He concludes his argument with the powerful axiom, "Faith without works is dead."
James clearly thought that there was a decided connection between faith and works. Does that mean that James thought that he earned his salvation by his works? No. But he did believe that faith that did not support itself with actions was nothing more than a lifeless relic, if it was ever faith at all.
The most famous faith chapter in the Bible, Hebrews 11, supports James' contention that faith is always accompanied by supporting actions. Often this chapter is looked at like a Biblical Hall of Fame, a series of heroic characters and the chronicle of their exploits. Anybody familiar with the chapter is aware of the repetition of the phrase, "By faith …" The phrase occurs 17 times in a 29 verse stretch. Sixteen times these phrases introduce statements of faith articulated by actions.
- By faith Abel … offered.
- By faith Noah … built.
- By faith Abraham … obeyed and went, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.
- By faith Moses' parents … hid him.
- By faith Moses … refused, left, kept the Passover.
- By faith the people … passed through the Red Sea.
- By faith Rahab … welcomed.
Each one of these chronicles is faith put in action, faith lived out. According to the Hebrew writer, faith is only faith when it is put in action. Not a single one of the statements represents faith as an intellectual exercise, or a philosophical or theological acknowledgement. According to these statements, faith is at least as much a practical reality as it is a more a propositional statement. Every chronicle includes an activity that substantiates the presence of faith.
If you are a person of faith, you have a "by faith" statement. It may be as simple as one of mine, "By faith Steve, even though he possessed an overwhelming fear of speaking in public, became a herald of God's message in the preaching/teaching ministry."
Maybe your statement is "By faith …
- Forgave the sins that were committed against her by her family, and surrendered all of the resentments that accumulated over the years.
- Determined to shorten the hours he spent at work, realizing that his first ministry was to his family, and any amount of success would not balance failure at home.
- Told his friends, "I have made a decision that I am not going to talk like that anymore, and I would ask that you respect that."
- Volunteered to help the older couple down the street with some needed home repairs, as an expression of God's love.
- Moved the computer into a family access area, so he would have the accountability he needed to help relieve the temptation to feed his lust by frequenting pornographic sites.
- Reached out to her neighbor and invited her to church.
- Quit his job because it required him to make questionable moral calls.
- Gave a permanent home to a child without "a place to call home" and became their family.
The options are innumerable. If you spend a moment reflecting on it, you will probably find that you have more than one. Think through all of the life transformations that faith has brought into your life. Put a verb on them. Write them out. Celebrate that faith has been at work in your life.

Rostov coach Igor Gamula said on Friday the club had "enough dark-skinned players, we've got six of the things'' when asked about rumors Rostov could sign a defender from Cameroon. According to football agent Paul Mitchell, five African players on the team threatened to sit out Monday's training. Mitchell is the agent of Rostov defender Siyanda Xulu, a South Africa international. "(They are) not prepared to train under the current coach,'' Mitchell told The Associated Press.

In preparation for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, the city government of Rio de Janeiro has been making efforts to reshape the city's urban landscape. "As a result," photographer Marc Ohrem-Leclef explains, "thousands of residents of the 1.4 million people living in Rio's shantytowns, or favelas, have been faced with forced evictions from their homes." With the aim of giving a human face to the individuals of this eviction story, Ohrem-Leclef (b. 1971, Germany) photographed the people of the favelas during 2012-2013, with the results collected in his book Olympic Favela.
Ohrem-Leclef takes different photographic tacks to tell his story. In some photographs, he takes casually posed portraits of the residents, the subjects often looking directly into the camera, some smiling. Other images provide a bit of the surrounding texture of the environment, a kind of street reportage. Finally, he also has arranged posed portraiture of residents holding high into the air a burning flare – a reference that calls icons to mind beyond the Olympic torch, but also symbols of liberty used throughout history, such as, Ohrem-Leclef mentions, Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People and Bartholdi's Liberty Enlightening the World. The result of these combined images, all vibrant with colour, is a portrayal of a resilient, proud, optimistic and, above all, human group of people.
Ohrem-Leclef photographs a wide swath of people from the favela – images include a young mother standing with her child, a portrait of a man and his wife standing smiling in the doorway of their home, a baker with a tray of raw dough in his kitchen, an old woman sitting in her living room, groups of children playing in trees. And though some of the images portray the people standing in front of their homes that have been marked in spraypaint for removal by the government, the images themselves do not betray the dignity of the people by emphasizing their struggle. Through the diversity of people included, but more importantly the moments he has chosen to click the shutter, Ohrem-Leclef deftly avoids clichés of portraying his subjects as victims, though he is telling the story of their victimisation, and successfully steers clear of favela exoticism or stereotyping.
Though the World Cup has by now ended, the continuation for the Olympic preparations are inevitable, and there is a painful irony to be found in the global celebration of human accomplishment resulting in the displacement of so many people. In Olympic Favela, Marc Ohrem-Leclef focuses specifically on the favelas of Rio, but the human perspective he takes draws our eyes much broader, towards injustice of individuals swept aside as a consequence of grand designs.
Olympic Favela is available from Damiani Editore. To learn more about the project, visit www.olympicfavela.com.

Thursday afternoon, Mayor de Blasio and Brave New Film's Robert Greenwald presented a short film, Hedge Fund Billionaires vs. Teachers, that highlights the glaring inequalities in our tax structure and the underfunding of our education system. The hook is simple: the top 25 hedge fund managers make more than all the kindergarten teachers, 150,000, in the country combined. Is this fair? And perhaps more importantly, is this a good way to run a society?
The two men, along with AlterNet contributing editor Lynn Parramore and local kindergarten teacher Lena Lombardi, joined in a Q&A after the film to discusss de Blasio's signature themes of increased taxes on the wealthy and a focus on improving the lives of "working Americans." (Disclosure: Robert Greenwald is on the board of directors of AlterNet's parent organization, Independent Media Institute.)

1. Delivery of Equipment. It took about 7 days from the time of order for the equipment to arrive. It was packed in a sturdy box and nothing was damaged or missing when I received it. Rating: 9
2. Instructions and Ease of Setup. The advertisements claim that it is very easy to set up and they are correct. I would suggest watching the brief videos first (as hard as that is with something new and exciting) and they explain how to set up the equipment in a very short and easy fashion. The one thing that could have been better was if there was a large notification inside the box mentioning the benefits of watching the videos first. The Total Gym and the adjunct equipment are very easy to set up and begin using. Rating: 9
3. Quality of the Product. The Total Gym is very high quality equipment. As I mentioned earlier I have been using the equipment for 7 months generally between 5 and 7 days per week, sometimes twice a day. I have not seen any serious signs of wear and tear yet. I am very impressed. Rating: 9 (The only reason I have not scored a 10 is because I am hoping for it to last many years.)
4. Assistance with the Exercises and Exercise Programs. The Total Gym comes with over 80 full color instruction cards (5 ¼" x 8 ½") that explain each exercise. These are very helpful and very well done with full color pictures of the exercise plus additional explanations. There are also several workout programs that are detailed on the same size cards including:
- 6-8 Minute Workout for Men (7 days)
- 6-8 Minute Workout for Women (7 days)
- Starter Workout Program
- Workout for Young People
- Long and Lean
- Core Strength and Stability
- Total Body Circuit
- Upper Body Sculpt for Women
- Lower Body Strength for Women
- Upper Body Strength for Men
- Lower Body Power for Men
- There are several Abs sessions and it is easy to develop your own Abs routine.
The programs generally consist of sets of 6-10 exercises with the goal of doing 3 sets per session. Generally 3 sets will take 30-45 minutes. Of course, you do not need to follow their pre-designed routines if you do not want. Rating: 10
5. Quality Workout. The quality workout received from the Total Gym is excellent. It can be used for muscle tone, cardiovascular, or endurance. The Upper Body Strength and Lower Body Power for Men routines are very good for muscle development. I am 49 years old and I have definitely seen a visible increase in the size of my biceps arms and chest. Another nice thing that I have experienced is that in the 7 months that I have been using the machine, I have never hurt myself. No overly strained muscles that have made me lay off for days or weeks at a time or anything of that nature.
The only drawback is that if you are exercising for absolute extreme power that may be hard to achieve with the Total Gym. Weight can be added to make routines more challenging but I don't think it is possible to simulate a 400 pound press or bench press. Rating: 9.5
6. Flexibility. With as many exercises as can be done on the Total Gym (over 80) the equipment is very flexible. There are exercises designed for the chest, back, shoulders, legs, arms and abs. There are also several stretches and compound exercises (designed to work more than one area of the body at once). The Total Gym is very flexible; it is a single piece of equipment that can be used for the entire body. Rating: 9.5
7. Fun. For many people, exercising is not fun. It is very boring. With as many different exercises as the Total Gym provides it tends to make exercising a lot more interesting and exciting. Although, turning on a little music does help. I do not think any exercise equipment can be labeled as riotous fun, but with the many different exercises available the Total Gym does have an advantage over most exercise equipment. Rating: 7.5
8. Usability by all Sizes and Shapes. I am almost 6'0″ and a thin person. In my opinion an obese or heavily overweight person may have some difficulty with the Total Gym. I also believe that a very tall person (over 6′ 3″) may not be able to do all of the Total Gym exercises as well as a person not as tall. I am not saying this as a definite statement but I would advise a very tall or heavy person to try one out before purchase. Rating: 6.5
9. Convenience. The fact that you do get a gym quality workout in your own home makes the convenience factor rate very high. The ease of working out from my office as opposed to driving to a gym and back is critical to a person with a lot on their plate. Rating: 10
Summary I am extremely pleased with the Total Gym XLS. It provides strength and conditioning to many different parts of the body. It is a good quality product; the exercises are explained well, it is very flexible, reasonably fun and extremely convenient. In my opinion it was well worth the money as I definitely do receive a gym quality workout right in my own home.
Tips for When Using the Total Gym XLS Let me point out a few tips to those new to the Total Gym or those who have not used it yet. 1. Have a large glass of water or juice nearby when working out. 2. Don't be afraid to rest between exercises or sets. 3. Realize that gradual improvements will be achieved but that you will feel stronger some days than others. 4. If it is just too hard, do not do it. 5. Keep a positive attitude and have fun. Realize that improving your condition which will help you with your family life and at work as well.

Today is Vincent Van Gogh's 164th Birthday. For our challenge this week Lynn has asked us to use the lyrics of the song "Vincent" by Don McLean be our inspiration when creating our card.
For my card this week I have made a Double Z Fold Card, I really like this style of card and have been having fun making them, especially this one which has to be my favorite of those I have done so far.
For my inspiration I went with the first line of the song .... "Starry, starry night...". As you can see we are looking at the stars from earth but from somewhere else in space haha. I so wanted to pull out my favorite space stamp set from There She Goes Clear Stamps once more.
To create the background of my card I used the Galaxy Sky Technique using various colors of distress ink and then flicking Picket Fence Distress Paint over the background to resemble stars.
Here is a photo of my card taken at a different angle so you can see the whole card which includes the corner of the card.
For the moon that has the sentiment "You're out of this world!" I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock, die cut using the smallest circle from the Fitted Circles from Elizabeth Craft Designs and then used the Stage It Stencil Petite Flourish to add some texture to the circle using Pumice Stone Distress Ink.
Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.
And finally one last photo, this time so you can see the inserts I added to the square in the corner so I could have my astronaut and space ship floating in space.
Stamps: Out of this World - There She Goes Clear Stamps

DNA Sequencing Method
Schematic of an artificial membrane, across which a voltage forces an ionized fluid through the nanopore. Nucleotides on a strand of DNA are first tagged with different-sized polymers, and then the strand is passed near the nanopore opening, where a polymerase cleaves the polymers and passes them one by one through the nanopore. As they pass, the pore produces a unique ionic current blockade signature due to the tag's distinct chemical structure, thereby determining DNA sequence.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning in Phoenix, the kind of morning when posh couples with Suri-like children sip espresso at La Grande Orange and the fit triathletes of Phoenix have been up for hours enjoying the weather and getting in their weekly miles.
I was at Boho Farm and Home in Arcadia with Caroline Van Slyke, her husband David, his brother in law and a Scottish terrier . . . "processing" chickens. As a pet-chicken owner with several generations of farming in my background, I wanted to see if I could be a part of the process, er, processing, and learn something new. Ever since Van Slyke's son told me about sending the chickens to "freezer camp," I was curious about how slaughtering chickens in a backyard really works.

Caroline was gracious enough to let me in on the process as a participant, and I tried to avoid setting expectations as I joined in and documented the process. And so, on a Saturday morning, I learned how to slaughter chickens.
I should make mention that a hip couple with a lovely baby and a pile of balloons arrives before me. Was I supposed to bring balloons? No, the couple and their photographer were using the front yard for a family photo shoot. I was headed to the backyard.
The Van Slykes keep a beautiful selection of egg-layers, but they also keep "meaties," poultry raised especially for eating. I showed up in jeans and flip-flops with purple dishwashing gloves and a bottle of wine. Poulet Rouge from Pennsylvania's Amish country are sunning themselves near the fence, watching us prepare for what is about to happen.
First, the men toast with sherry and we all gather, with gloves on, around an ice bin to say a brief prayer before beginning. Standing by are a long metal-topped table, more ice bins, a few knives, cutting boards, a bucket, bleach, a pot of boiling water, a pot of cool water, a hose, digital thermometer, and a traffic cone. There also are a few plastic tablecloths -- though in Boho Farm style, they are a green-and-white-checked pattern.
The traffic cone is turned upside down, affixed to a tree; part of the top portion of the traffic cone has been cut off. This process is broken up over two weekends, the first for a few males VanSlyke has and the next weekend for the ladies, who need another week to fatten up.
A bird is selected from the yard and carried through the gate. The cone method is used to keep the birds calm and to ensure the killing is humane. Chickens, in general, will relax when turned upside down. And so the bird is held gently by its feet and put into the cone until David sees the head come out of the other end. With a quick stroke, the neck is slit and blood begins to drain into the bucket below. There is not as much blood as one would expect.
Then the bird is "dipped" into the hot simmering water; the temperature has been taken and monitored with a digital thermometer. This loosens the feathers for plucking. Next, the bird is laid before Caroline and me and with gloves, we begin removing the feathers. All the fluffy feathers and breast and back feathers come off easily. We put them all into a metal trashcan lines with garbage bags. There is a slight scent of burned dirt and dander in the air, but nothing overwhelming.
Toward the end, the process becomes more tedious as we pull the wing and tail feathers and rinse the birds more while pulling the pin feathers. At this point, without feathers, they really do just look like a whole chickens from the grocer. Then a few dunks in the cool water pot, a few more plucks, and into the ice the birds go.
These are not just any ice bins. Van Slyke laughs as she mentions that one of the ice bins is from Hungary and was purchased from a high-end boutique in town. Her husband mocks her teasingly, and for a moment, you can see why tasks like this provided such bonding time for families of the past. Their young son looks on the whole process and offers ongoing, sometimes humorous commentary.
The process repeats until we have all of the birds on ice. There is a break, and we enjoy a glass of merlot. It's about 11:30 a.m. The group cleans the tables and then moves on to a slightly more gruesome task, removing the heads and the feet. The Van Slykes use the feet to make chicken stock and Caroline explains how a local chef has been lined up to receive the heads. Every part of the bird is utilized.

I grab a bird from the ice and Caroline sits at another metal topped table. The metal surface makes disinfecting and rinsing with the hose easier. With a newly sharpened knife and butcher block, she expertly removed the heads and feet. I gather them each time and place them in plastic bags and put them on ice.
The guys begin gutting the chickens on butcher blocks on another table. I've done this with turkey before, but the process on a chicken is a little tricky, since they are small. From watching alone, I would venture to say that removing the esophagus and the crop and gizzard, without rupturing the crop, is the hardest part. The birds have not been fed in 24 hours, but they have been free ranging, so they have eaten some grass and bugs. But David has done this before and so I watch the expert at work. Once the guys are finished I take the bird and place it in a plastic bag, removing as much air as I can and placing them in the refrigerator.
Caroline then bleaches the surfaces to disinfect again, and we move the furniture back to its original places. David removes the trash can and hoses off the patio again. The blood from the bucket is poured into the rose bed for fertilization. And just like that -- it looks like the whole thing never happened. Except that there are many organic birds in the fridge, including one that Caroline intends to make for dinner.

Blogger is Being Weird!!!
I can't read the blogs on my reading list today! Blogger is only loading the most recently posted and when I click "show more" nothing happens! I would really like to read my blogs! :(

Same here. It's not us, it's them.ReplyDelete
I am having the same issue -- it's been that way for the last 2 days. I did the same as you -- went over to my Bloglovin feed. I was feeling so cut off from everyone -- funny how we can get so attached to something!!!ReplyDelete
Triple ditto! Though I know I'm missing some blogs on my Blogloving feed that I would have on Blogger, so I'm annoyed. Get it together for us, Google!ReplyDelete
And by the way, I love the graphic you just for this post. I, for one, am getting sick to death of all these cutesy t-shirts and posters telling me to keep calm. I'm just not the zen sort of gal, and I do NOT always want to be calm!ReplyDelete
Same for me sister! Switched over to Bloglovin too!ReplyDelete
:-( me too! I can't stand it--hopefully they fix it soon! I love being able to see what everyone's doing at a click of the mouse. Enjoy your summer! Mrs. PReplyDelete

A simple method for the α-oxygenation of aldehydes
Beshara, Cory S. and Hall, Adrian and Jenkins, Robert L. and Jones, Teyrnon C. and Parry, Rachael T. and Thomas, Stephen P. and Tomkinson, Nicholas C. O. (2005) A simple method for the α-oxygenation of aldehydes. Chemical Communications (11). pp. 1478-1480.

Official URL: https://doi.org/10.1039/b418101h
A mild, efficient and general method for the chemospecific α-oxygenation of aldehydes is described. Treatment of a series of aldehydes with N-tert-butyl-O-benzoyl hydroxylamine hydrochloride gives the corresponding α-oxygenated carbonyl via a proposed pericyclic rearrangement process.

November 1, 2018 -The DCRI, in concert with the Duke Center for Applied Genomics and Precision Medicine, will serve as the coordinating center for a new project to promote genomic medicine in clinical practice.
The National Human Genome Research Institute, which is part of National Institutes of Health, has awarded two grants to Duke that will total about $9 million over five years.
One grant establishes the Duke Center for Applied Genomics and Precision Medicine, in partnership with the DCRI, as the coordinating center for a national initiative to move genomic medicine into broader clinical practice. Genomic medicine is a discipline that uses DNA and other molecular information to guide treatment and care.
"Genomic medicine has great potential to improve health, but its widespread implementation has been hampered by the lack of evidence of its clinical utility," said principal investigator Geoffrey Ginsburg, MD, PhD, director of the Duke Center for Applied Genomics and Precision Medicine. "These new pragmatic genomic medicine clinical trials will provide that evidence."
"As the coordinating center for this national network, we will create the genomic medicine knowledge base where ideas can be shared so that everyone can begin to use this in practice, whether in community clinics or academic medical centers," Ginsburg said.
An additional grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute will fund one of the genomic network's projects. The grant supports an initiative at Duke to gather the family medical histories of low-income patients to assess inherited risks for cancer, cardiovascular diseases and liver diseases. Lori Orlando, MD, is the principal investigator of that project.
"Family health history is the most important and most readily available predictor of disease risk we have. Yet, it is broadly underutilized in clinical practice. Our study is building a platform that will help providers follow evidence -based guidelines for risk management," Orlando said. "We believe this platform will help individuals who live in areas that don't have easy access to genetic counseling or genetic testing."
