I love heart-tugging, heart-pulling movies and Seasons of Gray is one of those movies. It doesn't matter if you're a Christian, this is a movie the whole family should watch together. It will open your mind, heart, eyes, and soul.
"Seasons of Gray: A Modern Day Joseph Story" tells the beloved biblical tale of Joseph in a relevant and modern way that reaches all audiences. The film is available on DVD.
The compelling story of Brady Gray (played by Andrew Cheney), the favored son of a two-time widower, begins on location at a Texas ranch. After Brady's father lavishes him with accolades and gifts, his half-brothers, fed up with his privileged position, force him off the family ranch with a stern warning to never return.
What lies ahead is a roller coaster of ups and downs as Brady goes from restoring his life in a new town, obtaining a job and developing a love interest, to being wrongly accused of sexual assault and thrown in jail. Throughout the story, despite questioning his life's purpose and plan, Brady remains devoted to his faith and learns the true meaning of forgiveness.
"Seasons of Gray" is a Christian film that non-believers can also enjoy. Parents can use the film as an educational tool with their high school children, the film is also a valuable tool for churches and pastors to use in reaching their community with relevant and modern content that directly correlates with the bible.
Reviewers have praised the strong performances and high production values in "Seasons of Gray" calling the film "riveting," "engaging," and "a powerful presentation." For reviews of "Seaons of Gray," please visit, http://www.seasonsofgray.com/

Data.gov – it's useful, but also could be better.
The "Nerd Collider" Web site invited me to be a "power nerd" and respond to the question "What would you change about Data.gov to get more people to care?" The whole discussion including my response can be found here. However, I hope people won't mind my reprinting my response here, as the TWC blog gets aggregated to some important Linked Data/Semantic Web sites.
My response:
I was puzzling over how I wanted to respond until I saw the blog in the Guardian – http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/apr/05/data-gov-crisis-obama – which also reflects this flat line as a failure, and poses, by contrast, the number of hits the Guardian.com website gets. This is such a massive apples vs. oranges error that I figure I should start there.
So, primarily, let's think about what visits to a web page are about — for the Guardian, they are lots of people coming to read the different articles each day. However, for data.gov, there isn't lot of repeat traffic – the data feeds are updated on a relatively slow basis, and once you've downloaded some, you don't have to go back for weeks or months until the next update. Further, for some of the rapidly changing data, like the earthquake data, there are RSS feeds so once setup, one doesn't return to the site. So my question is, are we looking at the right number?
In fact, the answer is no — if you want to see the real use of data.gov, take a look at the chart at http://www.data.gov/metric/visitorstats/monthlyredirecttrend — the number of total downloads of dataset since 2009 is well over 1,000,000 and in February of this year (the most recent data available) there were over 100,000 downloads — so the 10k number appears to be tracking the wrong thing – the data is being downloaded and that implies it is being used!!
Could we do better? Yes, very much so. Here's things I'm interested in seeing (and working with the data.gov team to make available)
1 – Searching for data on the site is tough — keyword search is not a good way to look for data (for lots of reasons) and thus we need better ways – doing this really well is a research task I've got some PhD students working on, but doing better than is there requires some better metadata and approach. There is already work afoot at data.gov (assuming funding continues) to improve this significantly.
2 – Tools for using the data, and particularly for mashing it up, need to be more easily used and more widely available. My group makes a lot of info and tools available at http://logd.tw.rpi.edu – but a lot more is needed. This is where the developer community could really help.
3 – Tools to support community efforts (see the comment by Danielle Gould to this effect) are crucial – she says it better than I can so go read that.
4- there are efforts by data.gov to create communities – these are hard to get going, but could be a great value in the long run. I suggest people look to these at the data.gov communities site, and think about how they could be improved to bring more use – I know the data.gov leadership team would love to get some good comments about that.
5 – We need to find ways to turn the data release into a "conversation" between government and users. I have discussed this with Vivek Kundra numerous times and he is a strong proponent (and we have thought about writing a paper on the subject if time ever allows). The British data.gov.uk site has some interesting ideas along this line, based on open streetmap and similar projects, but I think one could do better. This is the real opportunity for "government 2.0" – a chance for citizens to comment just on legislation, but to help make sure the data that informs the policy decisions is the best it can be.
So, to summarize, there are things we can do to improve things, many of which are getting done. However, the numbers in the graph above are misleading, and don't really reflect the true usage of data.gov per se, let alone the other sites and sites like the LOGD site I mention above which are powered by data.gov.

Who's The Coward? Thin-Skinned NY Politicians Try To Ban Anonymous Comments
from the wow deptLast fall, we were absolutely amazed at a paper written by some NY state politicians arguing that we have too much free speech, and that we need a "more refined" interpretation of the First Amendment, that outlaws things like "leaving improper messages on online message boards." Well... as covered by Dave Kravets at Wired, some NY state politicians have introduced the same bill, in both houses of the legislature, that would outlaw anonymous speech online. The actual bill is not particularly subtle.
It lays out the purpose front and center:
AN ACT to amend the civil rights law, in relation to protecting a person's right to know who is behind an anonymous internet postingMost of the "bill" is definitions, but the key part is as follows -- written in all caps like a true internet troll:
A WEB SITE ADMINISTRATOR UPON REQUEST SHALL REMOVE ANY COMMENTS POSTED ON HIS OR HER WEB SITE BY AN ANONYMOUS POSTER UNLESS SUCH ANONYMOUS POSTER AGREES TO ATTACH HIS OR HER NAME TO THE POST AND CONFIRMS THAT HIS OR HER IP ADDRESS, LEGAL NAME, AND HOME ADDRESS ARE ACCURATE. ALL WEB SITE ADMINISTRATORS SHALL HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER OR E-MAIL ADDRESS POSTED FOR SUCH REMOVAL REQUESTS, CLEARLY VISIBLE IN ANY SECTIONS WHERE COMMENTS ARE POSTED.This will, of course, never become law (or if it does, would never survive a Constitutional First Amendment challenge). The Supreme Court has been pretty clear:
Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.You would think that lawmakers would know this, but apparently their fragile egos can't take people making fun of them online.
What's amazing is that the lawmakers behind this seem oblivious to the concerns about the bill, insisting that anonymous posting can only be used for negative reasons."
Too often, online bullies hide behind their anonymity as they inflict pain. My legislation turns the spotlight on cyber-bullies by forcing them to reveal their identity or have their post removed. Once a bully is identified, steps can be taken to end the harassment. Bullying is no laughing matter. The more we can do to combat this abuse, the better off we will all be as a society.That's from Assemblyman Jim Conte, a sponsor of the bill, who should be forced to not only read the details of the McIntyre case, but also to produce a report about the importance of anonymous speech throughout US history, starting with the Federalist Papers and moving forward from there. It's scary that these people who govern us who don't seem to understand what they're talking about.
Oh, and separately, I kicked this post off by mentioning the paper from last year. It's worth noting that these bills are not actually being brought forth by the same politicians. We have a general policy here at Techdirt where we don't mention political parties unless the party itself is key to the story. When we wrote that original comment, someone in the comments accused us of "hiding" the fact that the paper was written by Democrats. As we noted, we would have written it exactly the same way if it were written by Republicans. So, I will point out that the politicians who introduced bill in both houses in NY are... Republicans this time, which I'm only bringing up because of the contrast from last time. This isn't about parties. It's about clueless politicians, and neither mainstream party has a monopoly on (or, even, a shortage of) them.

They managed less than half the number of hits as their opponent. They committed two costly errors that led to an unearned run. With momentum slipping away, they turned their season over to a freshman pitcher playing in her first road playoff game.

BLADENBORO � They managed less than half the number of hits as their opponent. They committed two costly errors that led to an unearned run. With momentum slipping away, they turned their season over to a freshman pitcher playing in her first road playoff game.
They�re also still alive for a possible state championship.
The South Lenoir softball team did it again Tuesday, travelling to West Bladen and knocking off the host Knights 5-2 to advance to the best-of-three 2A Eastern finals series that will start Thursday at South Granville, a 6-4 winner over Wilson Beddingfield.
�This team just has a will to win,� SL coach Lisa Smith said after her squad�s fourth-round victory. �Even when we struggle, like we did at times tonight, we find a way. I couldn�t be more proud of what this team�s accomplished.�
Despite being outplayed statistically, the Blue Devils (22-3) never trailed in the contest. They scored three times in the top of the first against West Bladen ace Abby Walters, taking advantage of two walks, two errors, and base hits by Madison Herring and Meredith Sanderson.
Those three runs held up until the sixth when Brianna Williams came home on a wild pitch and Taylor Sandlin, who singled, scored on an RBI base hit by Haley Daniels.
Williams was the first SL batter to reach base since the opening frame. Walters retired 13 hitters in a row up to that point.
�We didn�t have our best night offensively,� Smith said. �But we scratched and clawed and got some big hits when we needed them. We�ve been a clutch team all year.�
In between the Blue Devils� three-run first and two-run sixth, there were plenty of dicey moments as the hard-hitting Knights (24-3) attempted to battle from behind.
West Bladen scored once in the third and added another in the fourth. The Knights also left nine runners on base, had another picked off first, and hit into a game-ending double play.
The key moment came in the fourth.
After the Knights� Kristen Dickerson singled to cut the deficit to 3-2, SL�s Smith brought in freshman pitcher Mattie Beyer to face the top of the order with one out and runners in first and second.
Beyer responded in a big way, getting leadoff batter Danielle Dove to fly out to Morgan Mentz in center field, and then enticing two-hole hitter Taylor Stephens, the daughter of West Bladen coach Pam Stephens, to pop out to left fielder Brittany Lassiter.
�I�m usually not nervous, but I have to admit I was a little when I went out there to the mound,� Beyer said. �Our defense really made some nice plays and bailed us out, which helped calm me down.�
In relief of starter Sandlin, Beyer threw the final 3 2/3 innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out two.
�I have complete confidence in both Mattie and Taylor,� Smith said. �They�ve carried us all year in the pitching department and I have no hesitation using either of them in any situation.�
Although they committed two errors, the SL defense also turned in some spectacular plays. Shortstop Herring made a nice over the shoulder catch in shallow left to end the home second, and she and first sacker Sanderson combined on a slick double play to end the victory.
�The goal at the end of the day is to have more runs on the scoreboard,� Smith said. �We fought hard all game, overcame a lot of adversity, and won. That�s all I can ask of these girls, and they�ve been doing it all season.�
South Lenoir 300 002 0�5 4 2
West Bladen 001 100 0�2 9 2
Sandlin, Beyer (4) and Williams; Walters, Wyatt (6) and Sykes. W�Beyer. L�Walters.

Almost everyone today has a web presence in some capacity, whether it is a simple Twitter or Instagram profile, a Blogger account, or something more complex like a website. Many people even own more than one website.
While a handle for Twitter can be created quite easily, choosing a domain name for a website can be a more difficult process. In the past, a brick and mortar business existed long before its web presence was created. And, once a website was needed, a business owner could usually just use the current business name.
But presently, this is much harder to do: many common domain names are already taken! In addition, many businesses exist exclusively online, or their domain name will be the determining factor when choosing the business name. This means that choosing the right domain name for your business name or product is more important than ever. And because
simple and straightforward names are already in use, finding your domain name can be a challenge.
Namestation is a one of a kind website that will make lemonade out of these domain name lemons! With the use of Namestation's domain name generators, finding a one-of-a-kind domain doesn't even feel like a challenge; in fact, it is fun. Once you sign up for a free account, you can access name generators that help you access a seemingly endless supply of valuable domains. But if you don't feel like searching for your own domain, start a contest and see what other users come up with.

Between drinking what feels like your weight in cocktails, countless way-past-your-bedtime late nights, and eating (delicious) crap for weeks, you can end up feeling, well, gross, over the holidays. Then, on top of it all, you've got to shop for gifts for everyone and their mother and work like mad to make up for days out, so working off the extra calories and stress at the gym is probably not an solution, either.
But don't worry: All be-healthy hope is not lost. Here, we've rounded up some easy ways to stay (somewhat) on track through all the mayhem. Best of all, these low-impact, minimum-commitment, tips don't require you to totally overhaul your diet and exercise plan in order to do them. Because between the shopping, the wrapping, and the reveling, who has time for that?

Contact: Public Affairs Office, 307.739.3431
Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott announced today that road and facility construction projects are underway at various locations in Grand Teton National Park and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway which will result in minor traffic delays during the 2012 summer season. There will also be intermittent, temporary one-day to two-day closures of parking areas in the Moose area and along the Teton Park Road. Travelers are advised to call the road conditions line at 307.739.3614 or stop at park visitor centers for current and specific information. The park's newspaper, Grand Teton Guide, includes a road construction map for further reference and can be picked up at any park entrance station and visitor center or found online at www.nps.gov/grte.
NOTE: Because of the several delays that may be encountered, motorists are encouraged to plan for extra travel time to reach their destinations. Efforts will be made to minimize any inconvenience to drivers using park roads, however, traffic will be held up for short periods of time for road improvement work. These road construction projects are necessary to provide routine maintenance, as well as improve safety for the many vehicles that use park roads throughout the year.
In June, motorists can expect up to 15-minute delays along the Teton Park Road and Jenny Lake Loop for a micro-seal pavement overlay. There will be reduced overnight and day use parking at the following trailheads during the first three weeks of June: South Jenny Lake, Taggart Lake, Leigh Lake, and String Lake, including the canoe launch. Access to these trails will remain open from nearby parking areas. Signs and staff will direct visitors to available parking during construction, and visitors are advised to follow posted parking signs and staff instructions. Additionally, pullout and picnic parking along the Teton Park Road between Taggart Lake and Spalding Bay will be closed intermittently during the first three weeks of June.
The trail bridge over Taggart Lake will be closed for repair from June 8-22. As a result, Taggart Lake will be approachable only from the Taggart Creek trail. Additionally, the entire Taggart Lake trail network will be closed to all access on June 8 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for visitor safety during aerial delivery of construction materials.
Construction is ongoing to improve accessibility, visitor safety, and environmental protection at the Moose boat landing. Throughout the month of June, these activities will result in temporary closures that will impact traffic flow. Boaters should expect intermittent detours.
Throughout the summer and into the fall, motorists traveling Highway 89/287 between Jackson Lake Lodge and Flagg Ranch should expect delays of up to 30 minutes on weekdays for a road widening and traffic safety improvement project. Weekend and holiday work will not occur.
The Gros Ventre Road near Slide Lake will have up to 15-minute delays from early July until mid August for asphalt paving repairs.
The Moose-Wilson Road is scheduled for closure on July 11 and August 29 for application of dust abatement (magnesium chloride) coating. Visitors are cautioned that these dates are subject to favorable weather conditions.
The Grassy Lake Road will have intermittent 15-minute delays for gravel resurfacing during late summer.
Loops A through G in the Colter Bay campground will be closed until late June for upgrades to the water and wastewater infrastructure.
Construction schedules may change or be delayed due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Visitors are encouraged to call the road conditions line at 307.739.3614 or stop at park visitor centers for current and specific information.

Last week work was marked by two emotional events.
The first was a mix of impatience, shame and boredom brought about by "team building exercises." Apparently playing the sort of games usually confined to parties, especially showers, builds teams in some managerial minds. They involved standing up while connected, hula hoops, little cardboard rafts the size of trade paperbacks, being TIED UP and blindfolds. I wouldn't have been surprised if "toilet paper brides" had been on the agenda. I blew out my right knee dancing during college, so I had to sit out several of the more physically challenging ones, thank God. Anyway, I suppose much of it was fun, but we all have work to do to meet impossible standards set by the people who sent us to play games. It was not all fun, though. First, sitting out reminded me of not being picked for teams in gym, which is not a place I yearn to revisit. Second, some of the games required uncomfortable close physical proximity. I'm not shy about touching, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was other people being forced to touch me when they would never choose to do so if permitted a choice. You see, I'm fat. Not "Oh Rubens would have painted you and considered you a perfect beauty." Not big boned or stocky or plump. I am Venus of Willendorf fat. And inevitably, given our culture's obsession with fat people as evil and ugly and unhealthy and disgusting, there were people who would not touch me and looked nauseated at the very thought. I was tied to one of these people for about twenty minutes. They leaned away from me and wouldn't make eye contact. It was the worst humiliation I have felt in a long time. Let me make it clear that I bathed and deoderized and perfumed lightly immediately before coming in. And brushed my teeth. I do not smell bad, and most people grabbed on and held tight when the games called for it with entirely positive vibes. I come by my weight not through excessive eating, but by heritage. My farmer great grandmothers in photographs appear fat and healthy from the hard physical labor they performed about eighteen hours a day for their entire lives. I am virtually never ashamed of my body, but I felt burning shame that day. Even though there is nothing to be ashamed of. Even though weight is more heritable than height (.80 correlation vs .70 among identical twins reared apart). Even though the softness of my body is a delight to most who have touched it, and I am beloved not despite but partly because of my body. I felt the shame and humiliation and embarrassment about my very self that white privilege usually shields me from. The war on obesity is too much waged as a war on fat people, and discrimination is ugly in any form. But I will not be ashamed of my shame, because that would deny just what my status is in this culture. As a fat activist, I need to point out that pariah effect and fight its causes. The snapshot of fat hatred I got shook me pretty badly though.
The second emotion was terror. I go about my job usually in blithe oblivion to the risks, which I am so used to that I take them for granted. Once I observed to Dear Husband that I would never, ever want to work with electrical wires, because it is too dangerous. His reaction was that most people would be scared to work with actively homicidal people on a regular if infrequent basis. Mentally ill people are no more violent than the general population when they are in treatment. But of course my job often involves people who have stopped treatment because of medication side effects or poverty or simple disbelief that they are ill and not really persecuted. I've treated violent, even homicidal, patients from time to time when they are actively coming into the agency. However, much the more frequent case involves going out to find and reach out to people who haven't come in or called or let us know if they're alive for a certain period of time. I've talked about the dangers of poverty in this population before, and one of the most pronounced dangers is that they cannot afford housing outside of extremely dangerous neighborhoods. Mostly if you keep to yourself and avoid eye contact you are not bothered by the often intoxicated and angry neighbors. Still, going into an apparently abandoned house in these neighborhoods you know what you could be up against, even if it doesn't come to your consciousness at the time. Picture standing in front of a dilapidated two flat with a "For Rent" sign and a slightly ajar outer door. Suddenly while climbing a pitch dark rickety, steep stair case with no banister, I felt blinding panic and realized I could die in this place in this instant if someone answered the door and gave me even a nudge. It was pure terror, and after knocking once I could not help running down the steps, out of the house and back to my car. I jumped in, and I believe I did not actually peal off, but that might not be true.
I Second That Emotion
Last week work was marked by two emotional events.
Happy About The New Year
Maybe I'm not so much happy about 2007 as relieved that 2006 is over. Last January my husband was so ill with depression he needed partial hospitalization, and one of the heads of his company essentially threatened to fire him when I wouldn't give medical details over the phone.
Literally the day after DH got out of the hospital program, my mom went to the ICU in my home state because she could not breathe. She refused intubation, but when she fell unconscious from oxygen deprivation my father had her intubated. I rushed home because she was dying. She made it through but did not improve, and eventually she went to a university hospital where she was diagnosed with a 1 in 3 million disease. She was sedated all this time due to her intubation. When she finally woke up, she had a trache and was still on a ventilator. I made the seven hour drive every weekend that I could, taking a lot of time off work. All the stress triggered some depression and I became less functional. After months of chemotherapy and intensive care, my mom recovered from the initial illness fairly well but was left paralyzed from muscle atrophy. Her breathing remained touchy. She was released to a nursing home for rehab a little too early, and died that night after her long and brave struggle.
My best friends from another town were there for me at the funeral. One of them said, "The reward for a job well done is a harder job after this life." Five weeks later he died while on his dream vacation with his wife, leaving behind a teenaged son and his disabled wife, both of whom I'm extremely close to. Another funeral and more trips to the home state to comfort them. And this happened while I was on leave for depression already.
After enormous job stress I decided to quit my job, but backed out at the last minute despite a quadrupled work load. I tried my best to meet the new expectations. And I did meet most of them, by working a lot of overtime and falling behind on paperwork. Then I got suspended because my license lapsed when my mom was dying and I didn't notice. The relief was enormous and some of my psychiatric issues resolved, but I returned to work after I renewed my license. Then one day it was just too much and I resigned. The head of HR persuaded me to go on indefinite leave instead, and I was called back after a week for a part time position without a caseload. This luck lasted about six weeks, then the job requirements were changed so that I'll have to carry a full caseload if anyone goes on leave for longer than a short specified time. Mind you, I'll only have half the hours to manage the caseload. Argh.
Well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, but generally speaking I'm welcoming the new year with open arms. I pray that it will not be as eventful as 2006.

Microsoft's Windows 8 is shaping up to be the most controversial product in tech this year.
It's a radical overhaul of the world's most popular operating system. Instead of the traditional desktop software we're accustomed to from Redmond, it will emphasize tiles similar to what it uses for its Windows phones.
It's a big bet on a new interface, and if Microsoft loses this bet, it's going to have giant ramifications for Microsoft and the future of computing.
As a result, we're keeping a close eye on all reviews that come out of Windows 8. Yesterday we wrote that all the early reviews are negative. We've gone over more reviews and it's fair to say that's a bit of an overstatement.
While they're not exactly glowing, they aren't overwhelming negative. The bottom line take away is that most reviewers still have a wait and see approach to what Microsoft is going to release. They want to see how it will interact with Windows 8-specific hardware.
Well, except for David Pierce from The Verge. He's ready to run through a wall to get a Windows 8 machine.
Here's a look at some more reviews:
Michael Muchmore at PC Mag is "more comfortable" with it:
With each updated release of Windows 8, I feel more comfortable about its potential for acceptance among the general populace—despite the protestations of some tech pundits. True, hardcore power users lament the new OS's inability to boot directly to the desktop, bypassing those "toy-like," newfangled Windows 8 "apps" and Start screen. But there are plenty of benefits for those veteran PC users, too—a much faster boot, better security, and new file management tools.
Windows 8 is about the future, not the past. It introduces innovative touch input that even exceeds the iPad in some functions, such as the ability to view a second app in a sidebar and an easier way to see all running apps. The future is pointing strongly towards tablets, while desktops will remain essential tools. Microsoft is betting on its colossal base of Windows PC users to bolster its chances in this tablet-dominated future, while hoping that the drastic changes don't alienate them. After the next holiday season passes, we'll have an idea of whether this gamble has paid off.
Seth Rosenblatt at CNET, is also on a wait and see basis, but thinks it's pretty good overall:
It's the first serious attempt to unify computing across disparate devices and accounts in a way that looks and feels cohesive. It's stunningly fast, it presents apps in a new way that avoids the repetitiveness of Android and iOS, and it feels connected to your life and the Internet.
...However, we simply have not had enough time to evaluate this final version of the operating system. We are basing our current conclusions on Windows 8 after months with previous versions and 24 hours with the Windows 8 Release To Manufacturing. Performance benchmarks and further evaluations of Windows 8 will be added in the coming weeks.
One big question remains: Does the learning curve make it worth strongly considering other operating systems? We think not. There are more than enough similarities between Windows 7 and Windows 8 that while the incline is aggressive, it's far easier than learning an entirely new set of hot keys and workflow.
David Pierce at The Verge has the most enthusiastic take on Windows 8 we've seen yet:
My MacBook Air and my iPad are basically my fifth and sixth limbs. I rarely go anywhere without them, I use each for hours every day, and in general I'm really happy with both of them.
Come October 26th, though, I'm ditching them both. I don't know yet if I'm buying a Microsoft Surface or a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet or an Asus Transformer Book, or something else entirely. But I'm buying a Windows 8 device as my only computer, and I can't wait.
I'll be switching because Windows 8 is the first desktop operating system that understands what a computer is supposed to do in 2012, and it's at once more productive and more fun than any OS I've used before.

Washington D.C., May 30, 2014 / 01:03 am ().- Foes of federal rules requiring free insurance coverage of abortion-causing drugs and devices have filed legal briefs in support of a lawsuit representing dozens of Southern Baptist and other Christian organizations.
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. and other Southern Baptist leaders said in an amicus brief that the HHS mandate "imposes a substantial burden" on the free exercise of religion.
It forces Southern Baptist individuals or ministries into "an impossible choice" requiring them "to either violate conscience or the law," the brief states.
Their amicus brief explained that Southern Baptists and other Christians "cannot distribute abortion-inducing drugs and devices either directly or indirectly" without violating their faith.
The Department of Health and Human Services mandate requires most U.S. employers to provide insurance coverage for some abortion drugs, sterilization and contraception. Many Christian organizations do not qualify for the narrow exemption from the mandate, despite their religious and moral objections to providing the coverage.
Other briefs were filed or supported by the National Association of Evangelicals, Prison Fellowship, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, the Christian Medical Association, the Christian Legal Society, the American Center for Law and Justice, Concerned Women for America, Americans United for Life, and Women Speak for Themselves.
They are backing a religious freedom class action lawsuit filed on behalf of GuideStone Financial Services, the benefits arm of the Southern Baptist Convention; the Georgia-based Truett-McConnell College; and Reaching Souls International, an Oklahoma-based Christian ministry that cares for orphans in Africa and trains pastors in Africa, India, and Cuba.
The lawsuit challenges the HHS mandate requiring employers to provide insurance coverage for drugs that can cause abortions; the suit represents over 180 ministries.
"The government wants to force small non-profit ministries like Reaching Souls and Truett-McConnell to change their health plan in a way that violates their consciences—or pay crushing penalties," Adèle Keim, legal counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said May 28.
"These ministries – and hundreds others like them – have chosen GuideStone because they want health benefits that reflect their deeply-held Christian beliefs," said Keim, who is also counsel for GuideStone.
The lawsuit won a preliminary injunction against the mandate in December 2013. The federal government has appealed the case to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.
While some houses of worship and religious nonprofits have gained an exemption or accommodation from the mandate, for-profit businesses are still required to pay for all objectionable products and procedures.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue an important religious freedom ruling in late June involving Hobby Lobby, a craft store company owned by a Christian family with objections to providing abortion-causing drugs.
Many Catholic organizations, including dioceses, religious orders, and colleges, have filed suits against the mandate. They additionally object to mandatory coverage of contraception and sterilization. In total, more than 90 suits have been filed over the mandate, representing more than 300 plaintiffs.

Sawtooth Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Sawtooth Wilderness (map) in 1972 and it now has a total of 217,511 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Idaho and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionThe Sawtooth Mountains have long been recognized for their exceptional beauty and wild qualities. As the name suggests, this spectacular wilderness is comprised of hundreds of jagged peaks, 42 over 10,000 feet in height, with hundreds of high alpine lakes and tranquil basins. Within this dazzling landscape with its endless recreation possibilities, lie the headwaters of three major rivers. Deep, secluded valleys provide habitat for an abundant population of wildlife and many species of fish. Designated a Mandatory Class I air quality area by the 1977 Clean Air Act, the Sawtooth Wilderness has the clearest air in the continental United States. Many visitors come for the outstanding scenery, trout fishing, mountain climbing, hunting, hiking, horse packing and camping. Forty-two Wilderness trails cover about 270 miles. Some remarkable regions of the Wilderness are only accessible by off-trail route finding. Open fires are not permitted in some high-use regions, and group size is limited in the area to help stem the tide of human impact. On any given night, temperatures might drop to freezing, and in summer the mosquitoes have been known to provoke visitors.

Research Highlights
February 2009
Trading Waste Heat for Energy in China
Combined heat and power can make the world's most populous country more energy efficient, cleaner
Results: An energy-efficiency approach that converts waste heat into power can help make China's energy future brighter, a study led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found. With the appropriate economic incentives and policies, the system known as combined heat and power (CHP) can be more widely adopted in China, significantly increasing energy efficiency and curtailing carbon dioxide emissions from coal-based power. The research also is helping Chinese officials educate stakeholders on the benefits of CHP and eliminate barriers to facilitate wider adoption of the technology.
CHP is a clean and reliable integrated energy system that captures waste heat from a fuel or energy source such as coal or natural gas. Then it delivers electricity or heat for nearby industrial processes, district heating and cooling systems, and residential and commercial buildings. A standard coal-fueled power plant converts only about a third of the fuel's potential energy into usable energy. But CHP systems convert as much as 90 percent, with lower losses from electricity transmission and distribution because the systems are near the points of use.
China already produces more than 13 percent of its electricity with CHP and is working to improve that. The research team made five recommendations that it believes will lead to even greater increases in energy efficiency. The recommendations include creating more consistent and predictable access to power and heat markets, pricing heat and power separately to accelerate adoption of CHP, including energy efficiency and environmental benefits in market valuations of CHP, streamlining financial incentives and approvals for CHP, and ensuring access to CHP financing for smaller industrial enterprises.
"Since the team's research report was published, China has continued to install more CHP systems," said PNNL's Dr. Meredydd Evans. "And a number of international banks have made new project-based CHP investments in China."
With China's growing energy demands, officials are looking for ways to more widely adopt combined heat and power systems for more efficient, cleaner energy use.
Why it Matters: The world's most populous country, China gets up to 70 percent of its energy from coal. China and the United States are the top two carbon dioxide emitters worldwide, with China expected to surpass the U.S. in the next few years. CHP has the potential to offset considerable amounts of greenhouse gases, up to 10 percent in 2030 worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency.
Methods: The team developed a baseline inventory of current CHP capacity and conducted an economic analysis of how policy reforms are affecting the adoption of CHP in China. The researchers analyzed trends and opportunities for industrial CHP and barriers to deployment. Based on the analysis of the Chinese situation, as well as insights on the United States' experience with CHP, the team made specific recommendations to facilitate CHP deployment in China.
What's Next: The Asia Pacific Partnership, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the International Energy Agency are using this research to facilitate the design, development, and/or operation of at least 500 megawatts of new CHP systems in China by 2010. PNNL and others will continue working with their Chinese counterparts to develop a CHP implementation plan for China.
Research team: Drs. Meredydd Evans and Shui Bin are researchers at the Joint Global Change Research Institute in College Park, Maryland, a partnership of PNNL and the University of Maryland. PNNL led the research in conjunction with Energy and Environmental Analysis, Inc., Energy Partners Corporation, and Eastern Research Group, Inc., for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Acknowledgments: The research was funded by the Environmental Protection Agency's Combined Heat and Power Partnership and was supported by the Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate, an international agreement to facilitate the deployment of clean energy technologies.

Mozilla has announced a new Firefox Beta is available for developer download and testing for both desktop and mobile. With both versions of the browser featuring new enhancements, the company says it has done more for developers to evaluate and trial the new offering than for any other release to date.
The new beta comes hot on the heels of Mozilla's recently announced Firefox Aurora development channel, a development which the company says it has undertaken in order to support more frequent releases. The shift to a more rapid release development cycle is hoped to bring enhancements, security updates, and stability improvements from developers to users faster.
After five weeks of testing on the Firefox Aurora development channel the latest release includes the following updates:
- Firefox channel switcher: A tool to enabling programmers to move between Firefox Aurora, Beta, and Release channels to test features at various levels of development, quality, and polish.
- Performance and stability enhancements for the new CSS Animations standards: This, says Mozilla in a frustratingly generalized way, enables developers "to build more amazing web experiences" — any deeper meaning we are left to guess at for now.
The company underlines the fact that this mobile version of Firefox is the first mobile web browser to support Mozilla's Do Not Track privacy feature, giving users more control over the way their browsing behavior is tracked and used online.
Mozilla says that the latest Firefox Beta continues to carry features like Sync, Add-ons, and the rather 'painfully titled' Awesome Screen, while being one of the first to use brand new features and functionality that will be in the upcoming stable release of Firefox for mobile. The non-profit company states that it is actively seeking developer and wider user feedback at all levels.

The following caps were taken on Eid, November 2009. Naveen Naqvi chose to wear a delightful mauve knit top with a deep scoop neck and dark gray pants. The top is gathered over her bust line and drops downwards. It is sufficiently diaphanous to allow a fairly clear view of her mammoth proportions and incredible cleavage. The sharp edge of her bra cups, gives way to miles of liberated mouth-watering curves. With her dusky skin, sharp features, cascading lush hair and commanding presence, she resembles more an Aztech Warrior Queen, than DAWN's morning show host.
The word "Naveen" is from ancient Sanskrit which means "new". Naveen Naqvi however, has been around for awhile. The buxom beauty is of Amazon class with legs that go on forever. From what we have seen of her, she is sophisticated, hard working and serious about her work. In her interview, she claims to have spent her formative years enrolled in the American International School in Saudi Arabia. Upon her return to Karachi, she did her O'Levels from the Centre of Advanced Studies and A'Levels from good ol' Lyceum, the playpen for the rich and bored.
After giving modeling a try, she joined NBC News. After 9/11 they wanted a footprint in the area. A scenic backdrop of 'hajis' against which they could stand and broadcast their anti-Islamic propaganda. Naveen was hired to look after their logistics and equipment. It's like Jang Akhbar going to New York and hiring Karolina Kurkova as their chota. But at least the Americans paid her money for services rendered. In modeling, according to Naveen, they gave her the runaround until she would break down and cry –but no dinar.
After her stint with NBC she went to New York and spent two years writing a book. It's about a girl who grows up in Saudi Arabia and Karachi, who is searching for her identity and battling the evil patriarchal society (The Man) who is trying to keep her down. She insists it's not an autobiography.
After departing from DAWN News on January 2010, she disappeared from the public eye, only to appear online. She now has her own blog at NaveenNaqvi.Com. She sometimes writes articles for the Huffington Post blog and has taken up with local female 'web-activists' who are championing the cause of women in Pakistan. Her particular area of concern is sexual abuse, incest, rape, etc. In a recent public appearances, she claims to have suffered sexual abuse as a child.
Video of Naveen Naqvi with Sana Saleem, a survivor and activist [5:55 – 6:38]:
In addition to a striking resemblance, her professional career seems to be eerily following in the footsteps of her favorite writer, Virginia Woolf (1882-1941). Virginia was a feminist writer, who was also sexually abused at a young age, by her brother. She was bisexual and is reported to have had numerous affairs. From nubile poetesses to married women and men of letters. She also suffered several mental breakdowns, starting from the age of 13 and she finally committed suicide at age 59.
In a letter Woolf describes her joy at being touched by an older woman, "it is astonishing what depths – what volcano depths – your finger has stirred". About men, she had this to say, "Why are women so much more interesting to men, than men are to women ?". At the very end of her life, she wrote, "I feel certain that I am going mad again… I begin to hear voices". She reportedly put stones in her coat pockets and drowned herself in the river Ouse. Her body was fished out three weeks later.
Virginia Woolf played a pivotal role in England's Suffrage Movement (helped women get voting and other civil and legal rights, which had been forbidden them by British aristocracy). Is this what our beautiful, leggy brunette aspires to ?. A champion of women's lib in 21st Century Pakistan ?. We would have liked to see Naveen go the route of beautiful sex-positive feminists like Camille Paglia and Betty Dodson, rather than fat, ugly, hairy, men-hating butch lesbians like Andrea Dworkin and Naomi Wolfe. While the former celebrate beauty and sex, the latter consider any form of penetrative sex to be a violation of women. I guess strap-ons, vibrators, dildos. . . they don't count.
Whatever the case, Naveen will find the men of Pakistan firmly behind her. Where do we sign-up ?. We can help arrange mass bra burnings on M.A. Jinnah road, topless marches on Zaibunissa street, Lollapalooza at Sunday Bazaar where chick-bands like Club Caramel, Hadiqa Kiyani and Rabi Peerzada can rock the aunties who have just spent two sweaty hours bargaining for shoes and purses next door.
But seriously, if Naveen is going through her NGO-phase and needs to take a few years off, get this out of her system and onto her resume –we can wait. I had only hoped that she would opt for lipstick, rather than going butch. Seeing her turn out like Hagrid from Harry Potter, without make-up and unkempt hair is discomfiting. But seeing these caps we know the real Naveen is still in there and like fine wine, only getting better with time.
And one fine day, soon, we will see her again: bright and beautiful, cool and confident, lustrous hair, caramel skin, larger than life with all the talent and bounty that mother nature has blessed her with.

A 10-year-old suburban Philadelphia girl who got adult lungs after her parents sued to change national transplant rules is set for more surgery to repair her diaphragm.
Sarah Murnaghan is set to have the latest procedure at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia at 10 a.m. Tuesday. That's according to a post on the Facebook page of her mother, Janet Murnaghan.
On Friday, the family revealed the girl had to receive a second set of lungs after the first failed within hours of the original June 12 transplant. Her mother says the second transplant was a success and the girl was able to take a few breaths on her own.
Her mother says she had to be put back on a ventilator due to partial paralysis of her diaphragm, a complication of the surgery.

Soulja Boy has released an album called The Bernard Arnault EP, for Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy chief and very rich Frenchman Bernard Arnault. There's even a track called "Louis Vuitton."

I came out the water, LV shades on, swagging cross the border." Later, Boy switches in "all she keeps screaming" for "all she keeps saying." [DatPiff]
Hermès chief — and the target of a would-be hostile takeover from Arnault, who secretly acquired a 20% stake in the company — Pierre-Alexis Dumas says Hermès can't become an LVMH brand because it would lose its soul: "You know, there have been a lot of very good, small restaurants in Paris that have been bought by big chains over the years, usually in the name of better management. But somehow their clients have stopped going, because they have lost their souls." [W]
Hermès reported sales rose by 17.9% in the second quarter, compared with the same period in 2010. The company has raised its full-year revenue projections accordingly, from 8-10% to 12-14%. [WWD]

If you don't feel guilty at all, you don't love him anymore. If you feel guilty then it's love and don't worry he'll never know you did it."

Rectal Bleeding and flat stools
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Sometimes after a bowel movement, I notice blood on the tissue paper and a streak of blood along one side of the flat stool. I do plan on returning to see my doctor, but I still do not know the significance of this finding. Could someone please let me know?
Carolyn Vachani, MSN, RN, AOCN , OncoLink's Clinical Trials Coordinator, responds:
Blood visible in the stool can be caused by non-cancerous (benign) problems such as hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, colitis, or tears in the skin due to forcing a bowel movement when constipated. However, this can also be a sign of colon or rectal cancer. The fact that you can see the blood implies that the source of bleeding is close to the rectum. When bleeding is present further up the GI tract, it is not visible, but may turn stools a darker (black or tar) color. This bleeding can be detected by a fecal occult blood test, which can be performed by your doctor. In this test, a small amount of stool is placed on a special card, and then a solution (called developer) is applied to the card. The card turns blue if blood is present in the stool. Although this bleeding may seem harmless, it is worth investigating with your doctor. You also mentioned that your stools have a flat appearance, which is concerning. Changes in the shape of stool can be another sign of colon or rectal cancer. As a tumor grows in the colon or rectum, it can change the shape of the bowel that the stool passes through. This may cause stools to become thinner, pencil-like, or flat in shape. You should report these problems to your physician for further investigation.

Young and old will be able to look up in festive wonderment as the bright object passes Earth at 5.18pm the night before the big day.
According to astronomers, it will the perfect chance for parents to tell their kids it's Santa and his sleigh flying overhead... but what's to say it's not actually him?
The time is subject to change – so keep coming back to this page before Christmas Eve for any updates. And keep your fingers crossed for clear skies!
The ISS is the largest space station ever built.

Doctor Who inspires another game, this time MMOG
RE: Tardis?
The Doctor will return later this year in the form of a free-to-play MMO game, announced by the BBC today.
Doctor Who: Worlds in Time invites players to save the universe by solving puzzles and completing "pulse-pounding" challenges.
Game developer Three Rings, famed for its MMOG Puzzle Pirates, says the game will "capture the imaginative spirit and depth of the series, whilst being fun and easy to play for all ages."
We've been flooded with quite a few Doctor Who inspired games recently, from the BBC's successful Doctor Who: The Adventure Games to the not so popular Doctor Who: Return to Earth. This is another free one, so let's hope it's at least worth the time.
Hopefully it will fare better than this load of Wii
Doctor Who: Worlds in Time is set to launch later this year. We can also look forward to Series 6, which kicks off this spring. Or better yet, perhaps get on down to Olympia to check out the Doctor Who Experience. It's quite an exhibition, apparently. ®

Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
he that will cure, the host of Paul and Silas in Thessalonica. The Jews assaulted his house in order to seize Paul, but failing to find him, they dragged Jason before the ruler of the city (Act 17:5-9). He was apparently one of the kinsmen of Paul (Rom 16:21), and accompanied him from Thessalonica to Corinth.
he that cures
(one who will heal) called the Thessalonian, entertained Paul and Silas, and was in consequence attacked by the Jewish mob (Acts 17:5-7; 17:9). (A.D. 48) He is probably the same as the Jason mentioned in Romans 16:21. It is conjectured that Jason and Secundus (Acts 20:4) were the same. SEE [SECUNDUS].

Motorola Xoom 2 coming with 8.2-inch Media Edition
The Motorola Xoom 2 has been spotted out and about and, whats more, is that it seems to have a little friend in tow – the 8.9-inch Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition.Both tablets have been leaking like an Android filled tap all over the web this past weekend, ramping up excitement levels of fandroids everywhere.Starting with the biggie, and guestimates suggest that were again looking at a 10.1-inch model but with a meatier engine room running the Android 3.2 and Flash 11 action. The RAM is said to be the same as the original at 1GB, but it will be powered by a dual core 1.2GHz chip, possibly of the TI OMAP 4 variety.1080p video recording is said to be on board the 5-megapixel camera, which is why theres a HD logo on the camera which now finds itself in the centre of the Xoom sequels back. Also on the back are the physical buttons or, at least, theyre pointing backwards due to the 2s sharp angled design which measures 9mm thick.The Motorola Xoom 2 Media Editions 8.9-inch display is apparently a HD IPS one that is made of Gorilla glass and is splashproof. Its packing an integrated IR remote and a subwoofer on the chassis.Codenamed Fleming, it is also said to be running Android 3.2 and has reported thickness of 9.3mm and a weight of 430g. Theres LTE on board and, like its big bro, theres also backwards facing buttons and a 5-megapixel camera – this time positioned front and centre in a portrait setup.No official word as of yet, but hit up the original sources for plenty of leaky image action.

U.S. agriculture is facing a barrage of challenges ranging from tough domestic and international issues to evolving consumer attitudes about food production which likely will alter the future of farming.
This scenario was painted by Daniel Vradenberg, agribusiness division president with Wilbur-Ellis, Walnut Creek, Calif. Vradenberg spoke during the 36th annual California Association of Pest Control Advisers (PCAs) Conference and Agri-Expo in Anaheim, Calif.
"Agriculture must work together on big issues regardless if we are competitors, independents, small or large retailers, or provide crop input supplies," Vradenberg said.
Vradenberg shared his Top 12 list of the challenges facing U.S. agriculture including: world food shortages, emerging economies in China and India, unstable financial markets, volatile commodity prices, food safety issues, the impact of currency on trade, the 2012 farm bill, carbon footprints, energy independence, immigration policy, government protectionism and trade, plus extreme weather patterns.
Specifically in California pest management, Vradenberg believes the major issues involve increasing regulations on land, water and air. PCAs also face negative public perception for good pest management techniques, including aerial treatment for the light brown apple moth.
When a food safety issue surfaces, the public often points the finger first at pesticides.
"The general public usually thinks it's caused by chemical residues," Vradenberg said. "Most of the time it's a microbial contamination issue."
Other dynamics in California pest management include: increased accountability for crop production practices and greater consequences for mistakes; grower customers who demand better service and more value; and an economy which drives businesses to achieve purchasing efficiencies.
On top of that, public opinion is shifting on the pest management industry and agriculture; in some cases against modern agricultural technology, according to the results of a consumer perception of food technology survey conducted by the International Food Information Council.
"Survey results indicate the general public wants food grown on less land, the use of fewer pesticides, a smaller carbon footprint, and reduced water to grow the crop," Vradenberg said.
"It's estimated we will need to feed an additional 2 billion people (globally) in the next 30 to 40 years on 20 percent less land due to climate degradation and urbanization," Vradenberg said. "I think we can meet that challenge but we must have reasonable agricultural policy."
Research by the Edelman public relations firm in 2010 of 800 people cites two differing views of U.S. food production and pest management. One side supports the organic movement which opposes fertilizer and crop protection chemical use and biotechnology, Vradenberg says, and favors locally-produced food without large-scale monoculture.
The other side argues the organic movement cannot feed the world and modern agricultural practices are necessary to meet the growing demand for food.
Public trust
The Edelman research delved deeper to gauge who the public trusts and does not trust in the agricultural sector on food-related issues. The results suggest that by in large the general public trusts "farmers," but not so much "growers."
"I think the general public is getting so far removed from agriculture and how food is grown that they are somewhat confused about who is a farmer and who is a grower," Vradenberg said. "They think there is a difference between the two. They believe farming is a localized lifestyle business and perceive growers as closer to agribusiness."
Another pointed question inquired about consumer trust of agricultural companies. More than 25 percent of the respondents believe agricultural companies would not do the right thing in food-related issues.
Regarding a question on regulations of chemical and fertilizer use to produce and preserve food, more than 50 percent of the consumers, regardless of their political party affiliation, said more regulations are needed.
"This is a serious issue for agriculture," Vradenberg said. "We can't effectively produce crops without these tools. We can't afford to be burdened with excessive regulations."
On water use in agriculture, more than half of the surveyed consumers supported more regulations on water use in food production and processing.
Edelman also quizzed consumers on organically-grown food. More than 60 percent of the consumers supported regulation to require more organically-grown food in the U.S. More than 40 percent believe organic agriculture can grow enough food to fill the stomachs of a growing population.
"Consumers like the concept of organic food," Vradenberg said. "They associate organic food as locally produced, fresh, and nutritious and therefore good for the local economy."
Overall, Vradenberg says public attitudes reveal the average consumer is not well informed about agriculture.
Organic food represents less than 5 percent of all food consumed in the U.S. and continues as a growing trend.
"Should we ignore organic or fight it? Neither," says Vradenberg. "We need to find a balance."
Internationally, organic food lacks a major following. About one-third of the world's 6.9 million residents is malnourished, according to the United Nations. About 1.3 billion people earn about $1 in income per day and cannot afford organic food or enough meat in the diet. Vradenberg says many of them do not consume enough calories to be physically or mentally productive.
On agriculture's future, U.S. agriculture has its work cut out, Vradenberg says. While most farm ground in China and India produces low yields, this will change exponentially down the road and one day will challenge U.S. farmers.
Domestic future trends at home will include finding technological solutions for food safety issues, climate change, water scarcity and environmental degradation while producing more food on less land.
Efforts to curb obesity in the U.S. will increase; the No. 1 cost of the U.S. health care system. That, Vradenberg says, will bid well for California farmers.
"Many crops grown in California have a bright future because they improve the human diet. There will be increased consumption of fresh produce in the future."

After much contemplation, I decided to heed Arnaldo's months-long advice and attended the Holy Mass for the first time (except last Valentine's Day) in such a long time. I attended an afternoon English-language mass in nearby San Pedro Apóstol; humorously, the sermon was conducted in Tagalog (but that matter is for a future blogpost).
Anyway, I would like to reiterate that my haughty contempt for the Novus Ordo Missae still remains. Regrettably, there is nothing much I can do about it at the moment. And as I wait for the opportune time to act for the return of the Tridentine Mass –the mass of all time–, why should I not attend my Faith's congregation anymore?
The above case is what I scribbled about in a previous blogpost. An online friend of mine, Roberto, a frequent visitor to this humble blog, wrote a comment there that oganized religion should not matter anymore as long as I have faith in Jesus. However, this has been the belief of many a deist and a few agnostics for many centuries. It is understandable that these kind of people are fed up with religious strife in all parts of the globe. That is why John Lennon fancied a peaceful world without organized religions in his celebrated song Imagine. Marcelo H. del Pilar et al. lived proudly as a deist for years in Spain. Young freethinkers guising themselves as intellectuals have decreed that organized religion and faith are but for desperate fools and ignoramuses.
But, by shunning religion from their lives, did they find true peace and contentment that everyone has been yearning for ages? No. For a brief period of time, I myself eschewed the idea of a god and an afterlife many years ago. Trust me, it was the gloomiest part of my existence.
People who believe in God but do not believe in religious groups are like spiritual orphans, believers of God but without direction because without a community. And the danger lies in the fact that uniquely individual concepts about God will only lead to further division instead of unity. Now, if they say that organized religions usually lead to religious discord, it is not the fault of religious organization's fault per se. All organizations are made up of humans, and we know that humans are not perfect creatures corporally and mentally. As such, it is not unusual to find cracks or dents in a seemingly well-fortified organization. Such people are what we call fanatics or extremists, unmindful of dialogue but advocates of jingoism and war. Worse, some founders and leaders of religion tend to be warmongers themselves by writing pugnacious remarks and decrees against nonmembers.
Be that as it may, religious discord should not be made as an excuse not to affiliate one's self into a certain congregation. Becoming a member of a certain religious group does not mean that a person has already downplayed spirituality. Religion and spirituality complement each other. One should take note that the word religion originated from the Latin infinitive verb religare which means "to bind together" or "to reconnect". It is because religion is what "binds us together" and "reconnects" us to God.
We have a duty to praise God and not to merely pray nor talk to him. God is not simply a "spiritual friend". Realistically speaking, God is not a friend for the simple reason that he is God (you do not praise your friends nor do you pray to them, do you?). In a congregation, one can find himself in a community praying to God. There is a sense of belongingness, that the people around you believe what you believe. And that is what God wants; that is what is written in the Holy Bible. So why should it be defied in the first place?
In addition, I do not claim that salvation is a monopoly of the Catholic Church. Regarding the salvific fate of members of other religions, only God should know.
Organized religion is not the cause of wars. It is caused by men who do not understand their religion, as long as that religion does not exhort its members to wage an all-out war against other groups.

In a display of political spinelessness, a Colorado Senate committee on Monday shot down a bill that would have raised salaries for statewide elected officials.
We've said before how Colorado's statewide elected officials are among the lowest-paid in the country, not having gotten a raise since 1999. It's a situation that imposes a financial hardship on statewide officials, especially those from outside the Denver area, and it has resulted in three of them holding down part-time jobs – teaching or helping run a family business.
Under Senate Bill 274, sponsored by Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, Colorado's governor who now earns $90,000 a year – an amount which is less than the governor of every surrounding state and among the lowest salaries for a governor in the country – would have seen a raise to $147,845. The salary would have matched that of the chief justice of the Colorado Supreme Court.

Hope all of the message board followers and citizens are doing well. I just wanted to post a reminder.
As we are beginning to see the warmer temperatures, you will begin to start seeing many more walkers, runners, and cyclists on the city streets and backroads. Please be courteous when encountering people on the roadways. Remember 3 feet is required by state law to clear a user safely and if there is oncoming traffic it's best to wait and then make your pass.
Users: make sure you're using your best judgement. Make sure when you are walking and running that you are facing traffic when on the roads and be visible especially at night. Cyclists make sure you ride with traffic when on the road and are visible as well. As a cyclist you are required by law to obey traffic laws as well i.e. running red lights = not legal and communicate with traffic on turns and obstacles pushing you further into traffic.
So to all, be safe and be courteous out there. In a small town like this chances are we may be connected in one way or another to that person that can potentially be hurt.
Thank You
Justin Lund

You Have to Start Somewhere
As I've decided to go down the road of garment sewing this year, I think it best to start out right. And by right I mean to actually acquire the ability to alter a store bought pattern to fit MY body - not the idealized body that doesn't really exist. I figure to do this I should start out with a sloper that is an accurate representation of my shape (as scary as that is). Now, HOW do I do this?
I've been researching on the net (oh how I LOVE the Internet…) the myriad ways of creating a sloper. I have to tell you, my head hurts right now at the thought of trying to accomplish this. I know I'm probably just making a mountain out of a molehill, but like I said in a previous posts, dressmakers patterns make me nervous and the thought of actually making my own, well, that just freaks me out. Isn't it strange how I feel so intimidated by garment patterns but I can tackle the absolute hardest of quilting block patterns with hardly the blink of an eye from drafting my own mariners compass to all the curves involved in putting together an apple core pattern. No sweat. However the thought of trying to mimic the contours of my own breasts using a flat paper pattern is just Mt Everest to me! I need a glass of wine for this….
I picked up my Singer 151 dressmakers dummy last night. She's now standing in my living room (which scared the crap out of my husband this morning when he got up and walked to the kitchen as he'd forgotten I'd left it there LOL) patiently waiting for me to turn all her knobs and dials to just the right combination to represent me. Well, at least to kinda represent me as I'm certain I'll do some padding here and there to really get the measurements just right. This leads me back to my discussion on a sloper. In reading all the ways sewers have customized their dummies many stressed the need for an accurate sloper as their first line of business in the process. Once a muslin of your body can be created, it's a matter of putting that sloper onto your padded dummy to make a more workable dressmakers dummy from the a dial-a-measurement standard.
Aaaaahhhh, I DO need some wine!
