Dear Resurrection Family,
Greetings from Egypt. As you are reading this, over 300 Resurrection members are on their way to Mt. Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments. We're following the same route the Israelites took as Moses led them out of slavery in Egypt and to what became known as "the Mountain of God."
Saturday morning, at about 1 am, a group of us will begin hiking the mountain to reach the top in time to watch the sunrise. People from around the world travel here every day to make this pilgrimage and to reflect upon the Ten Commandments.
To learn more about Mount Sinai and see pictures of the mountain and the 6th Century monastery that sits at the base of the mountain check out this website. Here are a couple of photos from Egypt:
We will film the Mt. Sinai journey and the sunrise from the mountain, and we will share a two-minute version of it with you to kick off this weekend's sermon. Pastor Scott at Leawood, Downtown and Blue Springs, Pastor Jason at West and Pastor Joshua at Overland Park will then share the rest of the sermon.
This week we turn to the seventh commandment in our series of sermons on the Ten Commandments: "Do not commit adultery." This commandment speaks about fidelity, about the most important covenant any two human beings make with each other. When Jesus speaks of this commandment, he goes deeper than the literal meaning of the command, expanding its meaning to lust and desire. This is a very important sermon in a world where pornography is ubiquitous, and where sex seems to have lost all meaning. Parents, this is an adult topic; please use your discretion as to whether or not it is appropriate for your children.
If you were not able to join us for David Brooks' amazing presentation at Resurrection last Thursday night and would like to see it, we recorded it. Click here to watch his talk.
Last weekend, we had 40 people (33 adults and 7 children) join Church of the Resurrection at Overland Park. Exciting things are happening at our newest campus! Check out the names at the bottom of this email and welcome these new members.
I want to thank all of you who signed up to sponsor children through Compassion International. Last weekend another 142 children were sponsored through Compassion. Resurrection members, including LaVon and I, sponsor more than 2,000 children in developing countries each month. Learn more about the work of Compassion on our website.
Resurrection is serving as the host site for The Temple Congregation B'nai Jehudah services for the Jewish High Holy days. Rosh Hashanah services took place in the Foundry this past Sunday and Monday, with three services and over 2,400 people in attendance. Next week, B'nai Jehudah will hold Yom Kippur services on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning and afternoon.
The Congregation at B'nai Jehudah is currently in the process of remodeling, and it has been our pleasure to share our space as our Jewish friends celebrate their most Holy Days of the year.
This fall, both Resurrection and B'nai Jehudah are doing food drives for our community. Resurrection's Sack Hunger Drive brought in 15,700 pounds of donated food and cash donations of an estimated $86,000 that will be used to purchase approximately 268 tons of food through Harvesters for our mission partners across the city. We'll have the final amounts next week.
Thank you for your amazing generosity! This is one of three food drives we conduct each year to support children and families in the Kansas City metro area.
Last month we welcomed two pastors to our pastoral team – Dennis Apple and Lauren Baker Thomas.
Dennis Apple and his wife, Buelah, have been worshipping at Resurrection since 2016 and he has recently joined the Congregational Care team. A native of Indiana, he graduated from Olivet Nazarene University and earned his M. Div. from Nazarene Theological Seminary. He has been a pastor, associate pastor and also served as the general director of senior & single adult ministries at College Church of The Nazarene. Dennis and Buelah are the parents of two sons: Andrew and Denny. He is author of Life After the Death of My Son. Dennis enjoys running and rummaging through thrift stores with his wife. Dennis has been serving as an interim pastor for the past year and we are delighted that he is joining the team as our Pastor of Specialized Ministries at Resurrection Leawood.
Lauren Baker Thomas is a 2018 graduate of Duke Divinity School, where she earned her Master's in Divinity. She has spent the last year as a Chaplain Resident at the University of Virginia Medical Center, working in obstetrics, pediatrics, and the neonatal ICU. Lauren is passionate about the relationships and connections that come with providing pastoral care, and she also loves leading worship. Little known fact: Lauren lived in Overland Park five years ago and sang with Resurrection's contemporary worship band on Sundays. Lauren and her husband, Chris, are excited to explore the Kansas City area with their black lab mix, June, who is a ball of energy. She joins our team as one of our two-year pastoral residents (the other pastoral resident is Justin Schoolcraft). She'll serve our Sunday morning Traditional worship communities at Resurrection Leawood.
Keep memorizing the Ten Commandments! We'll add an easy one this weekend. :)

Acer has just announced a new member to its Aspire tablet family, the 8 W. It's an affordable way to get a tablet with the Windows 8.1 operating system.
The Acer Iconia 8 W comes with all the Windows greats built-in like MS Office 365 Personal, meaning Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook are all pre-installed.
The device is a 9.75mm thin tablet with a weight of 370g. It features a tactile rear, Acer says, for grip. The screen is an 8-inch 1280 x 800 resolution IPS display which delivers a meagre 189ppi. But with a 7mm bezel it looks fairly premium considering the cost.
Powering the Aspire 8 W is an 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z3735G Bay Trail-based quad-core processor. It also comes with microSD expansion, micro HDMI and, of course, Micro-USB for charging.
Acer claims the battery on the 8 W will last 8-hours on a charge even when using the dual camera to snap selfies or photos of the surroundings. The quality of those camera hasn't yet been announced which usually means we can expect something that's vaguely called HD on the rear and a low megapixel selfie camera on the front. Though at the price you can't expect much more.
Acer will begin selling the Aspire 8 W in the UK from £120 this November.

The store was so busy today with carts piled with food and Easter grass in all colors and cartons of eggs to be eaten and dyed.
I always loved Easter when I was a child and passed on to mine all the fun things to do that I grew up with. They had so much messy fun dying the eggs and like all parents, we were up way before any of the little ones to play Easter Bunny and hide them.
This year we are staying home, just the two of us. Calls will be made to our children and grandchildren, but hopefully, the sun will be out and it will be warm enough to work in the gardens and have potato salad and ham.
I found I was not very prepared for Pink Saturday as this week just flew by too fast. We just finished an Easter Swap on Etsy Cottage Style where many beautiful and sweet things were swapped. I thought I would share what my partner, Molly, from Fluer de Bee sent to me.
An Easter Egg all glittered in German Glass glitter with the surprise of five little yellow chicks inside.
A darling glittered bunny
Wishing you all a Happy Easter!

Launched in 1988, the Harvard Alcohol Project sought to demonstrate how a new social concept, the "designated driver," could be rapidly diffused through American society via mass communication, catalyzing a fundamental shift in social norms relating to driving-after-drinking. Such a shift was essential for curbing alcohol-related traffic fatalities, the leading cause of death among young adults aged 15-24. Through this Project, the Center became the architect of the "designated driver" campaign in the United States, importing the concept from Scandinavia.
The Harvard Alcohol Project represented a genuine breakthrough for public health. It marked the first time that a health institution joined forces with the communications industry on a project of this magnitude. All major Hollywood studios participated along with the ABC, CBS, and NBC television networks. Channels, a respected trade journal, called the extent of this industry involvement "unparalleled," and The New York Times lauded the initiative in an editorial.
The Project broke important new ground when TV writers agreed to insert drunk driving prevention messages, including references to designated drivers, into scripts of top-rated television programs, such as "Cheers," "L.A. Law," and "The Cosby Show." Entertainment not only mirrors social reality, but also helps shape it by depicting what constitutes popular opinion, by influencing people's perceptions of the roles and behaviors that are appropriate to members of a culture, and by modeling specific behaviors. The strength of this approach is that short messages, embedded within dialogue, are casually presented by characters who serve as role models within a dramatic context, facilitating social learning. The Project's strategy was strongly endorsed in a unanimous resolution of the board of directors of the Writers Guild of America, West. Harvard served as catalyst and information source; television writers retained full creative control. Prior to the Center's work, no one had successfully organized the creative community for such a large-scale effort. Over a four-year period, more than 160 prime-time programs incorporated sub-plots, scenes, and dialogue on the subject, including frequent references to the use of the designated driver.
At Harvard's request, ABC, CBS, and NBC also aired frequent public service announcements (PSAs) during prime time encouraging the use of designated drivers. This was the first time that the three networks produced and sponsored simultaneous campaigns with the same message. The Center's public relations activities further reinforced the campaign, generating extensive news coverage.
The Project received extensive national attention, including a special report on "ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings" and a front-page article in The New York Times. Another significant aspect of the Project was its cost-effectiveness. According to industry estimates, the Project received over $100 million annually in network air time, utilizing under $300,000 in annual grants.
The designated driver campaign soon became transformed into a national movement as a broad range of prominent individuals (e.g., President George Bush, President Bill Clinton, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop); government agencies (e.g., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal Center for Substance Abuse Prevention); national organizations and advocacy groups (e.g., Mothers Against Drunk Driving); professional sports leagues (e.g., Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association); major corporations (e.g., State Farm Insurance); leading police departments; and brewers and distillers endorsed and promoted the designated driver concept.
"Designated driver" became a household phrase in the U.S. to such an extent that the term appeared in the 1991 Random House Webster's College Dictionary. Public opinion polls documented the rapid, wide acceptance and strong popularity of the designated driver concept. According to the Roper Poll, the proportion of Americans serving as a designated driver reached 37% in 1991. Among Americans under the age of 30, 52% had actually been a designated driver. Among frequent drinkers, 54% had been driven home by a designated driver. The Wirthlin Group reported that nearly 9 out of 10 respondents in the country were familiar with the designated driver program and they gave it a favorability rating of 81 on a 100-point scale; the designated driver program rated higher than all other programs or industries rated.
In June 1993, the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention joined with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue an official policy statement endorsing the designated driver concept within a comprehensive framework for addressing alcohol-related problems. The agencies' Statement on Designated Drivers observed, "By encouraging drivers to remain alcohol-free, the designated driver [concept] both promotes a social norm of not mixing alcohol with driving and fosters the legitimacy of the non-drinking role. Moreover, the concept of no alcohol for the driver is more stringent than current state driving under the influence (DUI) laws permitting some alcohol for drivers." The joint statement stressed the need to promote moderation for the driver's companions, and concluded as follows: "Policy: The use of designated drivers by the public and designated driver programs by servers of alcoholic beverages is encouraged for those over age 21."
By 1998, according to the Roper Poll, a majority of adults who drink had served as a designated driver and/or been driven home by one. Among frequent drinkers who consumed five or more drinks in the past seven days, 62% had served as a designated driver and/or been driven home by one. The following is a breakdown of usage of the concept among adults who ever drink and among frequent drinkers:
Percentage of people surveyed who have been a designated driver and/or been driven home by one
|Ever Drinkers
|Frequent Drinkers
|Adults aged 18-29
|Adults aged 30-44
|Adults aged 45-59
|Adults aged 60+
|White collar workers
|Blue collar workers
|Influentials *
* First identified by Roper in the early 1940s, the Influential Americans are the opinion leaders of society, the approximately ten percent of the U.S. population who are most active in the affairs of their communities and the nation.
Source:Roper Starch Worldwide Inc., Roper Reports 98-3, 1998. Results of a survey conducted in March 1998 of 2,009 Americans aged 18 years and older.
What was the Campaign's impact on alcohol-related traffic fatalities?
When the Campaign began in late 1988, annual fatalities stood at 23,626. By 1992, annual fatalities had dropped sharply to 17,858. This represented a four-year decline of 24%, compared to 0% change in the three years just prior to the Campaign. By 1994, annual fatalities reached a low of 16,580 (a six-year decline of 30%), before leveling off. Using 1988 as a baseline, more than 50,000 lives had been saved by the end of 1998. A variety of factors have been responsible for this striking progress, including intensive publicity, new laws, and strict enforcement. Based on the extensive polling data presented above, the Center concludes that the designated driver campaign made an important contribution to the sharp downward trend in alcohol-related traffic fatalities.
The Harvard Alcohol Project, the first successful, large-scale effort to use dialogue in network entertainment as a health promotion "technology," stimulated similar efforts by others. The New York Times reported that senior television executives "embraced Winsten's concept of sending a message through their medium" to create a highly successful environmental project. Harvard's work, the Times said, also "paved the way for anti-drug messages in Hollywood."

I often host dinners with people from the neighborhood. Talking with them reminds me of how each generation has a different perspective and temperament. The Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials each approach the challenges of life from unique angles and specific contexts.
In the wake of the Great Depression and World War II America launched a massive build out of the society we now inhabit: the interstate highways, vast water supply systems, state universities, the polio vaccine, the space program, and the complete suburban matrix of single family homes, office parks, and shopping malls. As a nation we wanted a specific form of growth and progress. The system wasn't perfect. People had to work hard. There were trade offs. But we consciously created institutions and procedures that allowed a majority of the population to actively achieve a particular set of middle class goals.
When I talk to people of a certain age and ask them how much student loan debt they had when they graduated they all say, "None." They worked summer jobs and part time during the school year or received military benefits that completely covered their tuition. College was radically more affordable. Many people didn't even need a university degree to secure employment at a middle class wage. When I ask how much they paid for their house the numbers are absurdly low – not just the nominal price, but the cost relative to their income at the time. Ask a twenty five year old those same questions and see how they respond.
In the case of this grandmother-daughter-granddaughter trio the ability to pay for an education and a home radically changed over the generations. The age of first time home ownership increased from early twenties in the 1950's to late thirties in the 1980's to… never in the 2000's. Lower wages, student loan debt, and higher home prices combined to push home ownership farther and farther away even as social and legal obstacles diminished.
A friend recently went through his elderly mother's records and found that in 1965 a water meter from the Los Angeles County Waterworks was $9.50. That was the cost to connect to the system when a new home was built – less than ten bucks. The current price is $40,000. The water system is aging. It needs to be physically maintained and upgraded. In essence it needs to be entirely rebuilt as each part wears out and fails. The system also has to accommodate decades of accumulated salaries, pensions, health, and disability benefits for an army of aging workers. Politically it's easier to "make the developer pay" than to charge existing ratepayers. So that $40,000 is rolled in to the price of each new home.
In 1978 a property tax revolt in California resulted in Proposition 13. Taxes were capped based on the value of a home on the date of purchase. Consequently older people who bought in to the real estate market many years ago pay very little in property tax even though their homes are now fantastically more valuable. The tax burden was effectively shifted to younger people as they enter the market.
Municipal revenue has been choked off and local schools and other services have been starved of funding for decades. This isn't particularly troublesome for older people who no longer have school aged children. They and their kids already received a quality education from the public investments made by previous generations. But it's tragic for the young families coming up.
Existing employees and labor unions have made a series of deals over the years that preserve the pay and benefits of older workers while creating a second lower tier for new hires. This is just another aspect of intergenerational wealth transfer. "I've got mine. You go get your own." Don't think the kids haven't noticed.
These young people aren't talking about the need to "maintain the existing character of the community" or "keep out the wrong element." In many ways they are the wrong element as far as older residents are concerned. That entire conversation is effectively irrelevant to a new generation that has no expectation of ever owning property. They no longer have access to the American Dream of a three bedroom ranch house on a cul-de-sac. They already bought the equivalent of a home when they took on massive debt to go to college. They may not even want that kind of suburban life if they have to live an hour and a half from civilization to acquire it.
The development pattern and financial arrangements that worked well in the beginning of the post war cycle have come to the end of their practical usefulness. Every aspect of the system is soaked in debt and obligations that can't be maintained beyond a certain point. So they won't be maintained. The system will crash. It's just that simple.
Fifteen years from now today's twenty five year olds will be forty – and very much in charge of running the country. Fifteen years from now today's sixty five year olds will be eighty. Keep in mind, the average American male only lives to be seventy eight. That demographic shift is what will drive the transformation.

At present, The remote Pane contains a "Root" folder, and twosubfolders (disk1 and disk2). The user's shared folder is actually inside disk1, so the user has to search for it . . . .
I'd prefer it if only the user's shared folder was visible in the Remote Pane. Is this possible?
My Server is a Buffalo Link Station LS220DE with 2 x 2Tb drives - accessed via my DDNS provider's hostname.
The Buffalo user guide states to access the shares as /mnt/disk1/foldername - which I have entered into FZ Sitemanager for that user. . .
I'm on Win10 Pro and running FZ 3.22.1
Any Ideas?
Best Regards
When a registered user connects, can the Remote pane contain ONLY the shared folder?
Have the feeling that everybody is staring at you in the other forums? Then look here, in this forum nobody does care what you say

Utilizing Innovative Statistical Methods and Trial Designs in Rare Disease Drug Development
Convened by the Duke-Robert J. Margolis, MD, Center for Health Policy at Duke University and supported by a cooperative agreement with FDA, this public event will bring the stakeholder community together to discuss the challenges that rare disease settings pose for treatment development and regulatory decision-making, as well as the promising study designs and analytical methods that can help overcome them. The day's discussion will center around novel approaches to trial design and analysis to improve efficiency and interpretability of results in rare disease trials.
Rare disease settings pose a number of significant challenges for clinical research, drug development, and regulatory review. Small population sizes, sometimes limited scientific understanding of the disease of interest, and misaligned policy or market incentives often preclude more traditional clinical trial or analytical approaches from being pursued. To help collaboratively address these barriers, FDA is working with stakeholders to solicit feedback on promising designs and methodologies that could form the basis of formal guidance documents.
During the course of the public workshop, speakers and participants will discuss a range of tools and methods that could be used in the development of treatments for rare diseases and small patient populations. The meeting will include both presentations by panelists and dedicated time for questions and comments from attendees.

Forgive me for my week-long absence. Unexpected life events do certainly draw our attention away from the normal at times.
And what a blessing.
Yesterday, Nick Elizondo shared a message with our congregation.
In a word. Faith.
Nick asked a question which hung gently in the air before landing heavily on each heart.
What actions has your faith caused you to live out?
Using an illustration of being in an airplane with a parachute, Nick drew a picture of the difference between faith and belief.
Looking at the parachute, neatly packed and appearing operable, I can believe it works.
When I wrap the device snug to my body and jump from the plane, I have demonstrated my faith in the parachute.
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. (James 2:26)
Has my faith spurred me into action?
Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
The writer of Hebrews paints a picture of faith in the eleventh chapter. A beautiful portrait for those who need a visual.
By faith Abel…
By faith Enoch…
By faith Noah…
By faith Abraham…
By faith Sarah…
By faith Rahab…
And the list goes on.
Action produced by faith.
Nick challenged us to imagine the possibility of sitting down to converse with one of these saints of old. Having read their story, the saints may ask us, "So, what'd you do?"
Will our only reply suddenly seem shallow and weak?
We sat around and talked about you.
It's time to get out of the boat.
For some of us, it means first releasing the tether holding our vessel firmly to the dock.
With the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit we are privileged to possess a faith He delivers and expands.
A faith that walks on water.
Leaving the boat empty of a passenger.
A faith that spurs even a ball-capped boy to rise and step out.
Might we one day have a story to share.
By faith Caleb…
By faith Cristal…

Painted Stairs
I fully realize this is an odd thing to be "into", but I just adore a good execution of a painted staircase. Hallways can be such a tricky thing to decorate, and the staircase is such a focal point. Why not use it to its full stylistic potential? Someday I want a house with two staircases; one in the front, and one off the kitchen. Why? Because I'm psycho. Happy Wednesday!

Missing our buddy
Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Hotdog being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

The file says this is our seventh Fear, but pretty sure this is actually the sixth since the first one was just internal. I posted the previous one out of order here.
Fun Facts: This comic came from the story that multiple people did proposals at PT Khans of Tarkir, in Honolulu. Also discovered Brian Kibler used to go to the same LCS I did, but only while I was across the country at college.
Easter Eggs: Yolo in dude's hair; red mana in girl's hair; Black Lotus on the table; Luffy, Goku, Astro Boy, and Bart Simpson playing in the background. Sol Ring ambiguously in the air. Also, I believe the judge here was inspired by a judge I saw on coverage--Irish maybe?--I imagine she has red (literal, not orange) hair.

In game https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=12055614, the host, AKAthe infamous Taggy Jubbernaut, has his teammate attack me without declaration. He backs his teammate becausenI "woofed where I should have meowed".
LOL my diplos have very different rules from regular ones.Please read the rules.We have the Congolese president attempting to lead a team of Congolese provincial governors against the undeclared invasion of Uganda led by Museveni (me) and Rwanda led by Kagame (Taran). Uganda and Rwanda are villians and are NOT supposed to respect Congolese sovereignty at all just like IRL (this is literally written!).Victory conditions:1.Congolese President: Force Uganda and Rwanda to accept Congolese sovereignty over Congolese territories.2.Uganda & Rwanda: Force the Congolese president to concede sovereignty in any matter. That means if we get to annex Bukavu or deploy troops in Ituri with the consent of the Congolese president we win and the Congolese president loses.3.Congolese Governors: You win by existing by the time the game ends. What happened in that game (it's the second Congo RP) is that we successfully got the governors of Katanga and Maniema to side with us and rebel against the Congolese government. Hence we kept marching into Congolese hinterland under the name of "Congolese Movement for Democracy and Progress" (CMDP) "rebels".When I hosted the first game I lost easily as the Congolese leader. This time Congo has been strengthened but no longer has Tanzania as an ally. It turns out that the game is still unbalanced against the Congolese president. Next time I will strengthen the Congolese president more by allowing him/her to deploy troops in several key cities.@PoF I haven't denied that Uganda and Rwanda do evil in Congo just like what they do IRL. It's up to Earl and his team to prevent us from colonizing your country and conquering your people while pretending to be domestic rebels. Sorry but you failed. We subjugated Bukavu, Kisangani and Mbuji-Mayi. We are at the borders of Kananga and Mbandaka. We will install our puppet leader in Kinshasa while you patriots are herded to a kangaroo court in Bukavu for a show-trial and imprisonment. Sorry but we are RPing as the bad guys and that's what we will do.

Right now, Node.js uses Google's V8 engine, the same one found in Chrome. Microsoft's recent pull request however gives developers the option to use ChakraCore instead. The comments stemming from the request are heated — as you'd expect for such a change.
Incorporating Charka is no simple task, with the request altering a staggering 4786 files.
Chakra's principal PM manager, Gaurav Seth, goes into some detail about the decision on Microsoft's developer blog:
Whether the pull request will be accepted is — literally — open to debate, but going by the current comments over on Github, it will be integrated once it's been reviewed. Though, given the scope of the changes, it won't be soon.

Well, I'm not going to promise my brain a week off from having to write a blog post. Because instead of taking a break I've been overflowing with new thoughts, and now have produced a second one for the week.
This one is very crucial and timely, so I chose not to wait with it (I could have just saved it and published it next week, but it is relevant to some discussions we had at council, for instance, so I did not want too much time to pass. I believe it explains some of why some people have some trouble relating to and understanding my preaching style.

By Chris Matthews
Let me finish with this tonight.
I've long believed that the best decision of Barack Obama's presidency came before his taking the office. It was naming Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
It did something magical, healing any bad feeling between the two presidential rivals, uniting the Democratic party, setting a hopeful course for political maturity, giving not just the president but the country a top-drawer top diplomat to face the world.
Now, it's up to President Obama to do it again. He's won a second-term. Now he needs to make it great. Naming John Kerry to replace secretary Clinton fits that bill. Picking Susan Rice would be good, but picking Kerry would be better.
Since Thomas Jefferson, the post of Secretary of State stands alone in history. It's by its nature a role holding the most stature but for the presidency itself.
Kerry won 252 electoral votes in 2004 against a sitting chief executive, a wartime president at that. A combat veteran in Vietnam, a leading critic of that war later, a five-time elected Senator, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee has contacts around the world. He's just the sort of heavyweight Obama picked the first time.

**Update: MileUp has collected all of the data that they need from users so they are no longer awarding prizes. Joining now will only let you see how you're driving.**
If you have to drive a lot then you might feel like all you do is spend money on things like gas, car insurance, and maintenance. I have two teenagers and even though one of them can drive now I still spend a lot of time running around to sports, school events, doctors appointments and countless other things. So when I learned about the MileUp app I was curious.
How does it work?
You install the app on your smartphone and follow the instructions to create an account. Then when you drive MileUp will collect information about your trip such as the distance and your driving behavior. Then you're awarded points that you can use to enter sweepstakes. There are also driving challenges that you can enter to earn extra points.
Is it safe?
We all know that it isn't a good idea to use your phone while driving so I was worried about how this would work. Turns out one of the best features of MileUp is that it doesn't even have to be open on your phone to work! That's right, the app will still record your trips with the app closed. You can wait until you are safe at home to open it up, let the trips sync, and use your points to enter the sweepstakes that interest you.
But can you really win anything?
YES!! Like many people I'm skeptical about entering contests and sweepstakes. But I had the points, so I entered. Then one day I received an email from MileUp stating that I had won a $1000 gift card from Best Buy! I submitted my paperwork (since the prize was over $600 I will receive a 1099 for tax purposes) and a few weeks later they emailed me my gift card. It was 100% legit! Needless to say, my teens were thrilled and they happily spent most of the card for me. I did manage to snag a new Fitbit before it was all gone. So if you're interested in seeing if you can win too just go here and sign up!

EpDis: Believers
Next is Believers.
Refresher Links:
Lurker's Guide Main Page for Believers
Lurker's Guide Extended Synopsis for Believers
Re: EpDis: Believers
"Believers" is an "ok" episode for me. I like that the resolution of the plot isn't a "pretty" one; there's no easy answer.
I liked the series of scenes of the parents going from one ambassador to another trying to get someone to speak for them and how none of them would jump onboard. Kosh's line "The avalanche has already started; it is too late for the pebbles to vote," while being typically Vorlon, I think it also hints at perhaps some underlying regret or similar emotion from Kosh over his own instance of requiring medical intervention against the wishes of others.
It was a very good episode for Franklin and gave a lot for Rick to chew on as an actor.
What keeps me from viewing this episode as stellar though has a lot to do with finding the acting of the Shon character to be rather weak. Also, the that the religion of the aliens feels just sort of slapped together to suit a one-use need for this episode. I'd imagine there are plenty of people who disagree with me on this issue of their religion, but it's how it seems for me. I guess for so much of this episode's plot being reliant upon the "alienness" of the aliens, it just didn't feel alien enough for me. It might just be a side-effect of a one-shot alien culture since it's something that's gotten me about a whole lot of aliens in various episodes of Star Trek too.
So, for me, it's balances out to an average episode.
Re: EpDis: Believers
A family of aliens with lumpy foreheads and a moral dilemma get lost on their way to an episode of Star Trek TNG and end up on Babylon 5 instead.. Sadly for them, B5 is a much darker and more complex place.. Brilliant stuff, well-written by Peter David, one of my favourite standalone episodes..
Re: EpDis: Believers
Re: EpDis: Believers
Could anyone explain Fingel (sp?) eggs? And Shakespeare corporation? I think they may be references but I don't know what to.
Re: EpDis: Believers
I give this one and average grade but the ending can be a point of debate on whether Franklin was right or wrong.
Re: EpDis: Believers
I gave this one a C. Generally speaking, unless there's a really interesting twist to the storyline, I find all "science over religion" stories to be rather boring.
That said, I thought that the interaction between the parents and Franklin was well done.
Re: EpDis: Believers
The Fact that the parents were actually prepared to murder their own child ( even if they no longer believed it to be such ) was for me a powerful moment and thus pushes me to give believers a B.
Re: EpDis: Believers
One of a few episodes I can happily skip without watching again - gimme Grail anyday. David Gerrold should stick to tribbles, correct???

NBA Ballers PS2 Review
Basketball games are divided into two sections; simulation and arcade, and there are fans for both. NBA Jam is one of the most well known basketball games because its over the top dunking mechanism and there has been various other basketball games which can firmly be called arcade games released over the years. What the developers have tried to do with Ballers is introduce a new element to the sport and that is the lifestyle off the court of an NBA player. The game is fairly decent but there is a few problems with it that keep it from being a game that lives long in the memory like NBA Jam.
While NBA Ballers contains a number of game modes, the main mode features a storyline where you build yourself from unknown player through to one of the most well known players and with everything that comes with that. The game has been built with the help of some of the biggest stars of the NBA and it really shows. Ballers is built around a reality television show where you play through a number of tournaments taking on progressively tougher opponents to win your way to the lifestyle of the stars . The storyline is fairly decent but it has one issue and that is it just doesn't appear enough to make you want to keep playing.
NBA Ballers is one on one street ball which may turn some people off straight away. It means that the key to victory is the skills of your player which build up as you win matches throughout the various tournaments you have to enter during the storyline. Although NBA Ballers is not a simulation in the vein of NBA Live and other games, don't expect to see ridiculous dunk moves or anything else you may see in an arcade game because the players come to play street ball and that means tough hits and rough play. The game is not easy to get into and this is another problem with the title.
The single player game is made up of a number of tournaments which is expected but how they are constructed is what really dampens the enthusiasm for the game. To win a tournament you have to win three matches in a row which on paper is ok but considering you have to beat each player twice before moving on it makes the tournaments extremely long and it gives the feeling the game is artificially extended. This is one reason why the storyline components do not appear enough. Also, moving away from the simulation aspect of the game you can also unlock the ability to perform normally illegal things such as unlimited goal tending. This kind of goes against the rest of the game which seems to be a simulation of the sport and lifestyle. It's not a good feature because it can't be turned off for fans of non-arcade titles.
The other side of the game is the lifestyle side and is really what the game is built around. As you progress through you begin to win money and can start to buy things such as cribs (houses) such as Bryant's holiday villa and the Basketball Hall of Fame building, cars even jet planes and various things for your player. It's an interesting side to the game and to get the best of the best you have to take on well known players from the NBA which does give the game a bit more longevity because playing well known players are far more interesting than players which are fictional for the earlier rounds. You can also unlock the ability to play with these characters in other modes via the TV Tournament game mode which basically unlocks a player once you defeat them in a one on one match.
The game features a number of actual cribs of the real players including Shaq and you once you have the cash, you can purchases these. It doesn't change much other than give the player credibility and also gives you a place to store your jet plane and hotted up cars. Once you have unlocked these you can play basketball there which offers the game some variety in terms of the courts on feature. Along with this there are also a number of items to unlock with the money you earn such as character art and other things from the development cycle. One of the better extras is a video taken from one of the players parties and it shows just what the lifestyle is that the developers have tried to replicate in this game and really shows how authentic the game is.
The graphics of the game are highly impressive especially considering its PS2 (the game is PS2 only in PAL territories). The character models are highly detailed as is the three dimensional crowd and the courts seem to be an accurate replication of the cribs that the players live in. The sound effects are fairly average with the crowd just cheering with no real comments from the players. The soundtrack is full of tunes that you will either really like or dislike.
NBA Ballers is a decent title that could be a great game for those who like the sport but not necessarily the whole team aspect which mainstream NBA titles provide. One on one basketball can be fun but can also become monotonous so its really a case of needing to like the sport because the storyline and other modes really aren't going to keep you playing the game for a great deal of time.

Plant-Based Diets Put to the Test for Diabetes
Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM on April 12th, 2018
*** begin quote ***
The bottom line is that the more plant-based diet "led to a greater improvement in quality of life and mood. Patients consuming a vegetarian diet also felt less constrained than those consuming the conventional diet." People actually felt the conventional diabetic diet was more restrictive than the plant-based diet. Disinhibition decreased with a vegetarian diet, meaning those eating vegetarian were less likely to binge, and the subjects in the vegetarian group tended to feel less hungry. All of this helps with sustainability in the long term, which is, of course, critical for any dietary change. So, not only do plant-based diets appear to work better, but they may be easier to stick to. And, with the improvement in mood, patients may exhibit desired improvements not only in physical, but also in mental, health.
*** end quote ***
I'd wish I had know this back in 1970.
Would it have made a difference, who can say?
But, upon reflection, I'd hope I'd have been smart enough to try it.
Add it to my list of failures.

Renting may be considered as a way to recover some of their costs when they are not using their home. In some cases, homeowners - when acting as landlords - may also consider that it's more efficient to have the tenant pay their monthly mortgage payment directly to a lender.

Scoring Those Green Goals
The ongoing 2010 World Cup has been in the design news for all the wrong reasons. Everybody's spent a lot of time griping about the design of the new ball, but more serious problems have emerged now. The whole event, it turns out, is an ecological disaster.
According to a recent study undertaken by the Norwegian government (bless those Scandinavians!) the World Cup will have a carbon footprint of 2,753,251 tons of CO2, equivalent to one year's emissions from one million cars. There are a number of reasons why this year's event is so unsustainable. For one, South Africa had to build a lot of the infrastructure from scratch. Five new stadiums were built, five old ones were upgraded, roads were improved and bigger bus systems were put in place. Secondly, a large portion of the World Cup's audience is European. A non-European venue means a lot of fuel burnt on flights to and from Europe. All in all, the World cup might be the most unsustainable sporting event so far. But by all reports, the 2012 Olympics aren't going to score any green goals, either.
London won the Olympic bid on a sustainability platform, and authorities claimed that London 2012 was going to be "the greenest games in modern times." Five years on, that may no longer be true. A lot of the green plans have been scrapped, including a wind turbine and a biogas plant that were to supply 20 percent of the Olympic Park's energy requirements. A fair share of the blame must also be shared by architecture, it seems. Hopkins Architects's velodrome and NORD's substation are sustainable successes, but Zaha Hadid's aquatic park (above) and Anish Kapoor's Orbit tower don't quite match up in using material responsibly.
Tokyo's bid for the 2016 Olympics was a proposal with "a carbon footprint of less than zero." They lost out to Rio de Janeiro, so we will never know if such a fabulous claim can be made good. For now, Shaun McCarthy, head of the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012, probably had the wry last word when he told the Guardian, "Having an Olympics is an inherently unsustainable thing to do. To build all this stuff to watch some people run around – what's sustainable about that?"

Vegans are people, too
January 30, 2017
When I was still new to veganism, all I posted on social media were facts: "useless" male chicks are often thrown into grinders or suffocated. More than 30 millions cows are killed every year to feed Americans. Farmers often break off piglets' teeth to make sure they won't bite each other while confined in cages.
On Friday nights, I curled up with cashew milk ice cream to watch documentaries exposing the meat and dairy industries.
I thought I was the only one who cared about the worldwide mass murder of helpless creatures and decided it was my job to tell every person in my life about the absolute necessity of ditching chicken for tofu. I became the preachy, overly passionate vegan we all hear horror stories about, and I lost friends over it.
Sometime between proselytizing the good word of PETA and shoveling another bite of lactose-free dessert into my mouth, I realized I was not only making everyone around me miserable, but my constant anxiety was also making me miserable. I couldn't keep bombarding my mind with graphic images from slaughterhouses if I wanted to be mentally and emotionally stable.
It was also around this time a friend pointed out that I own an iPhone and that I sometimes buy clothing from stores that profit from sweatshops or child labor.
I had a meltdown because I couldn't take on every injustice in the world. With some time, I came to realize that every person does something that they think helps better the world in some way, and veganism is simply my way of contributing. From that point on, I never pressured or lectured anyone about veganism unless they asked for information, and I let go of my guilt over what I could not change.
Now nearly a year into veganism, I realize my part in the perpetuation of certain vegan stereotypes. But I've also heard my fair share of unfunny and frankly offensive vegan jokes.
You may have seen the video of the foul-mouthed older woman making a vegan version of a Turducken — a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey — making the rounds on social media over Thanksgiving.
I've seen the memes, too: vegans think they're better than everyone else, vegans only eat grass, vegans announce their no-meat, no-dairy status within seconds to every new person they meet. Most of my friends and family members who tag me in vegan memes mean well, but sometimes it can get exhausting.
A 2008 study conducted by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau for the Vegetarian Times found that 7.3 million U.S. adults follow a vegetarian-based diet and 1 million of those are vegans. The study also shows that 42 percent of those who are vegetarian and/or vegan are between the ages of 18 and 34.
Considering the sheer number of young Americans who are vegetarian and/or vegan, it may be time for meat eaters to do what I've done. Take a step back and ask yourself if the vegan joke you're about to utter is a. Funny b. Original c. Worth the public shame you're about to impart on someone else's lifestyle. Here's how to speak to vegans without making them want to punch you in the face or cry.
Don't Tell Everyone That They're Vegan
Too many times I have been in a situation where I am with a friend, meeting new people and my friend tells everyone that I am a vegan. "Oh great," I think. 'Now I have to defend myself in front of a room full of strangers.'
Although I am not ashamed to be vegan, there is a stereotype that vegans will jump at the chance to tell everyone and anyone of their self-righteous lifestyle choice. Being painstakingly aware of this stereotype, I try to conceal it unless it is relevant or I am asked.
This shouldn't just be a rule for having vegan friends — it should be a general rule. Trust me, your friends don't need you to air their personal issues, they can speak for themselves.
Don't Tell Them What They Can and Cannot Eat
When I go to restaurants with friends or family, the first thing they do is scan the menu for dishes I can eat. It's sweet, and I know the gesture is usually coming from a place of concern.
But we can read menus. Most of the time, vegans know what we can and cannot eat, and if we can't tell, we can always ask the waitstaff.
Also, it's not that we can't have something — we are not being restrictive. Vegans choose not to eat meat or dairy. It's not a chore to us, it's a voluntary life choice.
Don't Be Their Nutritionist
Ah, the age-old question — "Where do you get your protein?" Here's my question for anyone who has asked this: since when do you have a dietetics degree? Vegans are aware of their own veganism and know we have a different way of getting nutrients. If you must know, protein is in virtually everything. If someone is eating enough calories, they are most certainly getting enough protein.
After I went vegan, a host of my friends and family who were never previously concerned with my nutrition started asking detailed questions. Why all of the sudden concern? Non-vegans and non-vegetarians can make bad food choices, too — visit the Forbes Avenue McDonald's on any Friday night and you can see those bad decisions in action.
Don't Ask Them If They Eat
You may be making a joke because you have no idea what vegans eat — hint, it's not grass or birdseed — but you can ask politely or do some research. The funny thing is, you probably eat vegan all of the time.
That peanut butter and celery you had for a snack? Vegan. That packet of Oriental-flavored ramen noodles you scarfed down before night class? Vegan. The 12 Oreos you ate while streaming "A Series of Unfortunate Events" on Netflix? Yep, vegan.
And everything that has meat or cheese in it also has vegan substitutes: ice cream, pizza, burgers — we eat more than plants.
Don't Tell Someone They Don't "Look" Vegan
Beware — this is especially offensive. You're either implying that the vegan in question is not thin enough or doesn't look enough like a hippie to be an herbivore. You don't have to be thin or be a hippie to be vegan — you just have to avoid meat, dairy and all other animal products.
Having a vegan friend is not complicated if you respect their life choices. After all, their food choices don't personally affect you — except, of course, that they help save the environment and the planet you live on.

Turning the coal of broken hearts into diamonds of beauty
This is what you might call a partitioned book (not to be confused with a partitionist book). It exists as a separate entity, but added to the art exhibition, Tears in the Rain recently showing at the Golden Threads Gallery, Great Patrick Street, it forms a natural whole.
Getting away from it all
With the price of food on the increase, more and more people are taking the plunge and growing their own.Whether it's a raised bed or a row of potatoes at the bottom of the garden, it seems that more of us are growing our own vegetables. But what if you want to go further but your garden is just not big enough? In that case the only alternative is an allotment.

text: (finally figured out how to post pics on here that don't break within 24 hours, thx for nothing imgur) Top of the morning gents, so after about 6 years of putting it off I finally pulled the trigger back in late December and bought an Agile as a bday treat to myself I'm now the happy owner of an Agile Interceptor Pro 725 EB EMG Oveanburst Flame Bound guitar (it certainly is a mouthful). Before I ramble on, here are the pictures from day one's unboxing, enjoy! Notice how the box came with very very minimal damage, that's pretty good considering it got shipped from New Haven all the way across to Vancouver. A coupla drops of bird shit but hey i'm stoked, it adds character. 20190108_143040 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 10:50 AM 20190108_143654 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM 20190108_143709 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM Peek-a-boo 20190108_143749 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM 20190108_143948 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM 20190108_144124 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM 20190108_144041 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM My only gripe is little things I noticed in the finish around the edges like this here but that's just being anal for a $500 guitar. 20190108_144335 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM 20190108_144153 by GatherTheArsenal posted Feb 7, 2019 at 8:16 AM So I've had it for about 2-3 weeks now and I seriously wish I got this guitar six years ago! Here are my impressions so far on the whole experience: [>> props to Rhondo Music, my guitar got shipped the next day and arrived on time with zero delays. Considering the time of the year when I put in the order, i was impressed. [>> guitar came well packaged, I decided to grab a case just in...erm ... case... it got a bumpy ride across N. America. I'm ordering another one in a few months, I honestly don't think the case was necessary, especially if you live in the states. It was only slightly out of tune out of the box, but it did need better intonation on the A and G strings though I felt. [>> holy shite what a fast neck... I thought my premium 7 ibby wizard neck was decent but wow. My hands have not moved this fast on a 7 or 8 string in pretty much ever. The closest comparison I have is my MIJ 2010 Jackson RR5FR which has by far been the easiest to play on for years. Now I have both a 6 AND a 7 that feel great and allow me to play better. It's amazing how much getting a guitar that's more comfortable to your hands can make a difference. Or vice versa it seems. I'm picking it up everyday and writing more than I have in years, so I couldn't be happier. [>> I quickly realized how much I sorely missed playing active pickups, the last time I played EMG's was probably 2005 and man it feels good to have that extra sizzle to my steak back again. SD and DM passives have been good to me over the years but I'm having just a hellacious time with these 707's [>> the finish is gorgeous , I can't believe it gets sold for the price it does. Maybe 1 or 2 minor things a perfectionist would notice but taking everything into context, not really worth sweating the small stuff. Afterall it looks and plays great! [>> Lastly, the weight. Agile said it's a lightweight mahogany body which my shoulders and neck are just thrilled about. I didn't realize it but it seems basswood bolt-ons like my ibbys tend to be heavier? Hmm good to know. Here's a quick clip of me noodling around on some leads the other night just trying to get a feel for it. A couple things to round off everything here: 1. Since our Canadian loonie has been slacking behind the USD for years now, all in with the case and standard shipping it ran me just under $1,200 CAD shipped and delivered. Which was a huge gamble to me since I've never played an Agile, well it played off big time. My MIJ Jackson ran me more than that, that's a quality guitar and I hold both to the same level. I guess this is a nod to S. Korean craftsmanship. 2. Wanted to say thx to all who posted their opinions on Agile over the years , it's pretty much the only place with the most extensive info I've found on these guitars. And if you live in the states, I really don't see how you can skip on one of these since you'd be paying much less than we do. 3. I'm strongly considering selling my premium ibby 7 and my ibby 8. The Agile Legacy 27" scale 7 string I've got my eye on should be in stock within 3-5 months and I'm gonna nab one of those for the extended range and passive pickup option. And if Agile's 8-strings play as well as their 7's for the price asked, I'm pretty much setting ibanez aside. 4. All my guitars have FR bridges and i just don't mess around with the trem anymore. So since this one plays the best I'm taking it to my luthier today to discuss swapping in a fixed bridge. Since I'm already invested as much as I have, Evertune is definitely out. Hipshot though is looking interesting. Can anyone chime in on those? At present it's my go-to guitar for writing and recording, sadly I haven't touched anything else since I got it but I'm gonna see how things fair out for the next 3-5 months at least. If the writing's on the wall I'm keeping my Jackson and selling my other ibby 7 and 8.

Prevalence and distribution by gender of occlusal characteristics in a sample of Italian secondary school students: a cross-sectional study
Published by: European Journal of Orthodontics
The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and distribution, by gender, of occlusal traits in a sample of Italian students aged 11–14 years (mean 13 ± 1 years). Using standardized and validated recording criteria, a single operator measured the overjet, overbite, open bite, anterior and posterior crossbites, crowding, coincidence of the upper and lower midlines, and diastema, in 810 secondary school students (53.6 per cent males).
Authors: Fabio Ciuffolo, Lamberto Manzoli, Michele D'Attilio, Simona Tecco, Filippo Muratore, Felice Festa and Ferdinando Romano

text: The Finnish based practice ARK-house Architects recently realised the new building for the Seafarer' Centre close to the main entrance to the Helsinki's Vuosaari harbour. With its organic shape and the use of mailny natural materials it forms a strong contrast to the crushing hectare-sized steel warehouses, and the artificial landscape of tarmac fields and container seas which dominates the area. As the only public building in the area, its role is to serve as a place of respite; a small multipurpose building for the seamen that arrive at the harbour form afar.

Getting serious about growing his business and helping others reach their dreams has been his number one goal. Curtis Sutton, president of Rackley Roofing and one of the fastest growing roofing businesses in Tennessee. But Curtis is not your typical president and executive leader.
Curtis started his roofing career when he was just 18 as a laborer making $6.30 an hour. After graduating high school, Curtis joined his brother-in-law who worked for a large national roofing company. Curtis worked out of an office in southern Ohio, but traveled over three weeks a month. At the time, putting in 100+ hours weekly and getting paid overtime, in Curtis's own words, "I thought I was rich!"
So just how did a laborer start out to become the president of a multi-million-dollar roofing company? A lot of hard work. Curtis has done every roofing job there is to do, from shoveling debris to leading his own crew as a foreman, taking every opportunity available to move up the success ladder. From the start, he had a goal to one day own a roofing company, and shying away from the work was not an option.In just span of about ten years, Curtis went from working as a foreman, to superintendent, to general manager of a local division of a large roofing company where he helped start up several satellite offices. In 2010, Curtis joined up with Rackley Roofing as a partner, taking part in growing the company to what it is now. The success comes from the understanding that all our team members drive the success and the future of the company, not just management.
"Employees make a great company! Investment in your employees on all levels is critical if you want to grow your businesses into a million-dollar company," Sutton said in a recent interview on the Blue Collar Proud Show.
Changing the culture of a business entails several critical things: offering great employee benefits, opportunities for employee training, education and growth, and taking advantage of the latest technology the roofing industry has to offer. For instance, one of the things Rackley Roofing takes pride in is using the app Rackley Roof View, a tool that allows Rackley to provide an online folder to every client that has not only the before and after pictures of the roofing job, but of the complete history of the roof. Clients can see the job progress and completion without ever having to step on a ladder.
Rackley Roofing throws frequent company picnics, special lunches, and goes out of the box to show employees a huge appreciation to their dedication in representing the company. Curtis truly believes this is key to creating one of the most successful roofing companies in TN.
"I consider myself blessed to have worked with an owner prior to acquiring Rackley who believed in my potential. In four different roofing companies that I have worked with, my boss believed in me enough to give me leadership training." Curtis said. "Traditionally in roofing, there is not much leadership training as it is more of a blue collar hands-on training. Being able to invest in people with education is a great feeling and goes a long way for both the employer and employee. Many employees are never given the opportunities I was given. I have taken the leadership skills my old boss taught me and put them into practice, 'trust your people; we all make mistakes daily, but as business owners, we tend to miss our own mistakes because no one is watching.'"
For Curtis, leadership training is one of the most important things that TARC does as an Association.
During Curtis's presidency, he started up the For Foreman Class, taught by the NRCA, for TARC companies to send their foreman for leadership training. To date, Curtis's legacy has led two Foreman Level I classes, with a Level II class scheduled for January 2018.
Rackley Roofing Company, Inc., established in 1974, has become one of the leading industrial and commercial roofing contractors serving Tennessee, including the Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, and Chattanooga areas over the past several years. Earlier this year, Rackley merged with C.M. Henley Company out of Knoxville, and as of August of this year, Curtis has added R.D. Herbert & Sons to continue this growth.
"Rackley Roofing's success is largely due to the employee culture that we established. We do everything we can to try and take the time out of a busy schedule to train our guys in safety and leadership."
