www.sobek.ufl.edu Page 2 of 12 About Thematic Collections ( Curated Digital Collect ions & Digital Scholarship Projects ) As the technolo gies and needs for digital collections and digital libraries have grown, greater emphasis continues to be placed on curated digital collections as and with digital scholarship projects. C urated digital collect ions and digital scholarship projects are also called by ma ny other names, including thematic research collections e xplained by Carole L. Palmer : Thematic research collections are digital resources that come closer to this ideal [ of the libraries or library collection as a laboratory where necessary materials for a research project amassed in one place, as they are in a laboratory setting ] Where in the pa st scholars produced documents from source material held in the collections of libraries, archives, and museums, they are now producing specialized scholarly resources that constitute research collections. Scholars have recognized that information technolo gies open up new possibilities for re creating the basic resources of research and that computing tools can advance and transform work with those resources ( Unsworth 1996 ). Thematic research collections are evolving as a new genre of scholarly production in response to these opportunities. They are di gital aggregations of primary sources and related materials that support research on a theme. [ ] scholars are participating in this movement, bringing their subject expertise and acumen to the collection development process. In taking a thematic approach to aggregating digital research materials, they are producing circumscribed collections, customized for intensive study and analysis in a specific research area. In many cases these digital resources serve as a place, much like a virtual laboratory, where specialized source material, tools, and expertise c ome together to aid in the process of scholarly work and the production of new knowledge. 1 About the SobekCM T echnology The SobekCM software is a full suite of applications that po wer digital libraries, digital content/asset management, digital preservation, discoverability, online patron user tools, and workflow tools for integration with library and other web scale syst ems, digital production, and digital curation. SobekCM is the software engine which powers man y digital libraries, exhibits, digital production workflows, and more at institutions around t he world including the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC), F lorida Digital Newspaper Libr ary, t he University of Florida Digital Collec tions (UFDC), and many others. SobekCM allows users to discover online resources via semantic a nd full text searches, as well as a variety of different browse mechanisms. For ea ch digital resour ce in the repository there are a plethora of display options, which may be selected by an appropr iately authenticated use. Th e Sobe k CM s oftware includes online metadata editing and online submissio ns in support of institutional repositories. 1 Palmer, Carole L. Thematic Research Collections A Companion to Digital Humanities ed. Susan Schreibman, Ray Siemens, John Unsworth. Oxford: Blackwell, 2004. http://www.digitalhumanities.org/companion/
www.sobek.ufl.edu Page 3 of 12 SobekCM Projects & Templates The SobekCM software provides support specifically for scholars libraries, curators, and others in working collaboratively together to create thematic collections, and more. F or thematic collections, the SobekCM projects and templates are especially useful. 2 Projects are explained in the SobekCM documentation: P rojects are basically default metadata that can be selected by an authorized user for online submittal. The project level data is stored in a project level METS (PMETS) file that can be edited using the standard full online metadata form. When a user begin s to add a new digital resource, the project level data is loaded into the digital resource, before the user views the item in the online submittal form. The project level data usually includes the item aggregation information linked to the project, as wel l as common default data. 3 SobekCM supports a bla n k none project that does not include any added default information and the creation of as many new projects as are wanted for supporting ease of entry and consistency for materials I n addition to projects which support the automatic addition of metadata when entering new items templates support customized entry forms and entry processes. For instance, templates c an specify that a grant of permissions be accepted for each ne w item as is essential for institutional repositories, and templates can specify tha t th e grant of permissions not be required, as would be wanted for many library projects where the materials are already in the public domain and free of any other rights or related concerns. SobekCM Projects : Example from the University of Florida A t the University of Fl orida, S obekCM has many added projects to support all of the di fferent collections and contributor need s. For each project selected standard i n f o r mation is automatically added when new items are entered to ease th e process of entering new items The standard information can be edited duri ng the entry process and after the item is added using the online metadata editing. T he project fo r the Digital Library of the Caribbean ( dLOC, www.dloc.com ) includes : 2 In addition to su pporting thematic collections a t the collection level wi th these called aggregations which are able to exist at many levels (groups, collections, subcollections, institutions, and other types of aggregated sets of materials ) where specific fu nctionalities are supported for each collection at the full collection level projects and templates support adding new items to the thematic collections by supporting the information entry and certain functions at the item level 3 http://ufdc.ufl.edu/ adminhelp/projects

This page explains the overall concept and some of the terms used. G ENERAL C ONCEPT Projects are basically default metadata that can be selected by an authorized user for online submittal. The project level data is stored in a project level METS (PMETS) file that can be edited using the standard full online metadata form. When a user begins to add a new digital resource, the project level data is loaded into the digital resource, before the user views the item in the online submittal form. The project level data usually includes the item aggregation information linked to the project, as well as common default data. N EW P ROJECT This section allows an administrator to add a new project. Each of the elements are described below: Project Code This is the code that users can select within their preferences, and is also the name of the final project METS file on the web server. Base Project Code This data is used when creating a new project, but is not retained in the database. Rather than starting with a blank project METS file, the project file for the 'base' project is copied. Project Name Name of this project, to help differentiate it from other projects and explain the need. E XISTING P ROJECTS This section allows the user to perform some tasks on existing projects: edit The administrator can edit the metadata linked to an project. Selecting this link will open the PMETS file in the online metadata editing form. rename

Bar Stars: Neyah White
Throughout his adult life, Neyah White (pronounced NAY-ah) has never quite been able to escape bartending. He started at age 19, serving drinks at a Maryland restaurant where his mother worked as a cook. Later, while taking a year off to travel, he found himself working a bartending shift here and there in Mexico, then Prague.
"I tried to do other things with my life and kept coming back to it," says White. "There wasn't a period when I wasn't a bartender. You never leave it."
Before helping to design some of the Bay Area's most innovative cocktail lists, he saw the less glamorous side of bar life while working as a doorman and bartender at nightspots where the drink of choice was rum and Coke.
It wasn't until his late 20s that White developed a passion for classic, well-made cocktails, about the same time he moved to San Francisco and worked at the newly revamped Redwood Room at the Clift Hotel.
"Classics had always been a hobby of mine. All of a sudden people were ordering them," recalls White.
He began to study vintage cocktail books and to break drinks down to their individual components, to try to figure out what made them work. For example: the Negroni.
"Why is that good? Campari is rough on the palate. Sweet vermouth is kind of crappy. At that point in my life I didn't like gin. But if you're very careful it makes this beautiful thing," he says.
Like many of the bartenders in his milieu, White has now gone beyond just mixing proper cocktails to almost reinventing them, by using hard-to-find spirits and homemade, often esoteric, ingredients, such as his Sunshine bitters, which is infused with cardamom and saffron.
At Nopa, he's in the process of "converting the nuts and bolts of the bar," as he puts it, by replacing all of the bitters and liqueurs with homemade versions. He has more than 20 house-made bitters, and recently made a batch of persimmon liqueur, which he will put up until next fall for seasonal drinks. He also is making a collection of limoncellos, including a Meyer lemon and rosemary version, that he will use in summer drinks.
The New Ideal cocktail is something that came together unexpectedly after he concocted a blackberry root tincture. He thought it might complement a whiskey sour, but that combination didn't work. Yet when he added a few drops of the earthy tincture to a classic Ideal cocktail, he could tell it was going to be right as he poured it into the glass.
"That earthiness acts as a great counterpoint to the brightness of the grapefruit," he says. While the gin and grapefruit are bright elements and the vermouth is a sweet component, the tincture "distracts the palate enough that it sort of stretches it out," says White. "It's an accent that makes the whole thing click."
His process for creating new drinks varies from adding twists to the classics to experimenting until he gets something that is new and only found at Nopa. But his main philosophy, he says, was summed up well by cocktail writer and Chronicle contributor Gary Regan.
"It's about creating drinks where the integrity and heart of the base spirit is not covered up but brought to the forefront. The ones I'm really proud of are drinks where it's all about showcasing the ingredient rather than trying to cover it up," says White.
White says Nopa's drinks are special because of specific tools - such as the restaurant's alderwood grill that he uses to smoke fruit for liqueurs - and the knowledge of the staff. White adds that his inspiration also comes from the unique environment of the Bay Area.
"It's about being in San Francisco and having unparalleled access to distilleries and produce. I have winemakers and distillers and farmers sitting at my bar every night of the week," says White. "Nobody else gets that."

I am just saying Cooley is right in that they provide an affordable and more accessible option that Stetson and Barry.
Seriously? Wow. What are these other schools charging? Regardless, Cooley is stretching the concept of "more affordable" with this. IMO, no school out of the T14 should be charging more than $800/credit hour.

Tijuana, Mexico, July 18, 2009 – Chinese Taipei kept alive its hope of advancing to the Final Eight in the Women's Junior World Championship by defeating Czech Republic 25-20, 25-10, 25-18 in Pool B action. The Asian team improved their win-loss record to 2-1 while the Europeans dropped to 0-3.Chen Wang Ting and Chang Chen Yin led the winners with 12 and 11 points respectively and Tseng Tzu Yu charted nine points.
Czech Republic took the lead 8-6 with some good blocking but Chinese Taipei reacted to tie at 8-8 with two spikes by Tseng Tzu Yu. At 11-all, a pair of spikes by Chen Wan Ting after a Czech long serve gave the Asian a 14-11 advantage. The Czechs tied at 14-all with spike by Melicharkova followed by block and ace from Svobodnikova and Vincourova but Chen combined spike and ace for a 16-15 Chinese Taipei advantage at the second stop. Kill by Huang Wei Wen and another ace from Chen widened the difference to 18-15 forcing a Czech time-out. Later Tseng Tzu Yu gave her side a 23-18 lead with two spikes and also hit the final blow for the 25-20 win.
Chinese Taipei led 8-4 at the first technical time-out of the second set with excellent floor defense and strong serves. The constant mistakes of Czech Republic allowed Chinese Taipei to extend the lead to 12-5. After a slight Czech recovery, the girls from Taipei arrived to the second stop (16-8) driven by a four-point rally propelled by Chang Chen Yin. Things didn't change the rest of the set and Chinese Taipei won the set 25-10 for a 2-0 lead.
The first stop of the third set found Chinese Taipei in front 8-5. Melicharkova's spikes allowed Czech Republic to stay in the match. Spike by Chen Shih Ting followed by ace from Chen Wang Ting widened the gap to 16-9. A relaxed team of Taipei committed several mistakes allowing Czech Republic to cut the lead to 22-18. But Chang Chen Yin combined spike and ace sending her team to a 25-18 victory.

Boy, was the Lizard ever annoying to fight in this summer's Spider-Man movie tie-in game. You, like me, may have wondered what it might be like to have all that reptilian power at your disposal. New DLC packs will let play as Spider-Man's arch-villain and his co-creator, too.
Four separate packs will hit today, including the Rhino Challenge Pack and Stan Lee Adventure Pack that let you control the giant, horned bad guy as he rages through city as well as letting one of Marvel Comics' chief architects swing through the Big Apple. Those extras were previously pre-order bonuses. Along with those two add-ons, players can also get DLC that lets them crawl as the Lizard as he battles against Oscorp robots or play retro-styled arcade games on Spidey's smartphone. Individually, the DLC packs cost $3.99 for the Lizard and Stan Lee packs or Rhino and Oscorp packs are $2.99 each. You can grab them all for $9.99 on PlayStation Network or Steam. (Sorry, Xbox Live; no deals for you.) If you haven't traded the game in yet, that is.

Tips and Tricks for Retail Advertisers
Labels: Google Place, Google tools, Optimization, Remarketing, tips
(Cross-posted on the Small Business Blog)
Please enjoy the second post in the series of tips and tricks for advertising within your industry. This week: Retail! Up next is Travel.
There are countless varieties of products, services, and companies within the Retail industry, but one thing unites us all: seasonality. Whether you're selling school supplies, MP3 Players, or sports gear, you probably have a 'hot season' and some semblance of a 'down season.' I think our biggest trap as Retail advertisers is to only focus our efforts on the hot season; whereas Retail marketing should really happen year-round.
You have a lot of options and resources -- both free and paid -- available for marketing your business throughout the year. Below I've outlined a few of my favorite tools and tips.
- Figure out when your hot season actually starts. Many marketers assume they know when their hot season starts and ends or they base this year's strategy on last year's season. Use Insights for Search to better understand when customers begin to search for your products. If you look at search volume on 'swimsuits,' you'll notice that queries actually begin to rise in January and maintain steady volume throughout July. Don't fall into the trap of advertising swimsuits only in the summer!
- Use different types of campaigns at different times. Once you fully understand your seasonality, think critically about the different types of advertising you'll do throughout the year. For AdWords customers, for example, I recommend exploring the Remarketing Tool to keep track of customers who may have visited your site during the down season. When hot season strikes again, you'll be able to reach these customers when they are more actively pursuing your products. Remarketing is also a great way for AdWords customers with multiple seasons to reach people throughout the year. For example, if you sell flowers, you can set up a cookie to target people who purchased flowers from you on Valentine's Day, and then begin showing them ads for your Mother's Day specials in April.
- Through it all, continue to optimize your account structure. Once you've established the initial structure of your account, be sure to track performance and optimize your keyword lists and ad texts, particularly during down seasons. I recommend using the 'Search terms' report on your broad match keywords or the Opportunities Tab to identify new keyword ideas as well as negative keywords. For your ad text, look at which ads converted best in the previous hot season, and see if any consistent themes jump out. You may notice that mentioning 'Save 20% on Gifts' worked better than 'Save Big on Gifts' and you can edit your text accordingly for the next hot season.
- Take advantage of free offerings, particularly during the down season. For Retailers with physical locations, it's imperative that you create a listing on Google Places. Particularly as consumers increasingly search while they are on the go, it's important that people know when they are near your physical location!

Release Date: 1985 |
Album Rating: 4.5This wasn't supposed to be uploaded yet, I'll be editing
its good anyway, and even as silly as these guys are, they are heavily ignored and underrated
Nice joB!
Album Rating: 4.5DUN DUN DUH DUN DUN DUH
Album Rating: 4.0They released one of the funnest crossover records ever in 1985
Win, Win, Win.
a very good example of this would be "Milano Mosh" on paper the lyrics seem like they wouldn't come off as catchy but
I think you need a sentence or some form of punctuation after ""Milano Mosh".
songs are barely over of under a minute.
Replace "of" with "or".
While the short songs are funny the record as a whole can still be appreciated as music it isn't just a funny record that one would forget about after one listen, S.O.D. will have you coming back for more,
I have no idea with this one. Maybe break this apart into a few sentences.
because it truly is a piece of heavy metal history same goes for hardcore.
"and the same goes...."
Sorry, just trying to help. Glad you did this review. I remember you digging this about a week ago and I commented hahahha. Album is fun.
Album Rating: 4.5Fixed, thanks for the help.
Also I like what you're digging wiz
Album Rating: 4.0I beat on small school children to that album! No prob dude ; ).
yeah btu CAN YOU DO THE MILANO MOSH?!?!?
Album Rating: 4.0Why wouldn't you just edit your post? hahahahahaha lazy bastards.
And I can do the Milano Mosh.
Album Rating: 2.0this album never really appealed to me for some reason, idk. i never liked the "chugga chugga" sound of anthrax-style thrash, so maybe that's it. good review though.
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah it's not everyones cup of tea, but people should give it a shot anyway.
Album Rating: 3.5I'm glad you chose to do this review out of that list earlier man; this disc just makes me smile. Very enjoyable review (good job listening to Wizard on those edits). Only one thing I noticed that you should consider changing:
"Whether it be due to Milano's great delivery or Scott Ian and companies. Thrash influenced grooves."
Change it to: "Scott Ian and company's thrash-influenced grooves." I feel like that should be one sentence, also, company should be singular possesive not plural.
Like I said man, I'm glad you reviewed this -- it was a lot of fun to read and you reminded me to listen to this on my way home from work when you put it on that list earlier. Take a pos my friend.
nice review man, will get on this
Good review, the album sounds pretty fun
Loving the album title.
nice review dude, will get
Album Rating: 4.0"Speak English Or Die contains some excellent, heavy riffs, and during this riff-fest the bassist has his fair time to shine as well."
I think you should name the bassist, Dan Lilker, as he is fairly well known and also started/played in Anthrax with Ian. Other than that, great review, awesome album.
Album Rating: 3.5Lobotomie your avatar is amazing. My favorite movie of all time (well, tied with Taxi Driver).

Audit Reveals Putative Lender Did Not Exist And Hence The Promissory Note Is Void Ab Initio.
I thought I had seen it all but this case must take top prize for the most abhorrent attempt at foreclosure fraud perpetuated by a federal savings bank.
A client hired me to audit his loan documents in preparation for an upcoming motion hearing in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Flagstar Bank is trying to foreclose on a mortgage originated back in 2008. The putative lender on the promissory note and mortgage is "Manhattan Mortgage Services, a Florida Sole Proprietor" and, of course, MERS is named as the lender's nominee and beneficiary under the mortgage.
The first red flag for me was the assertion that Manhattan Mortgage Services was a "Sole Proprietor" because only a natural person can be a sole proprietor. A business may be a "sole proprietorship" (as opposed to a "sole proprietor") meaning that an individual is doing business under a fictitious business name provided the name is registered and the true owner is identified to the public. There is no legal distinction between a sole proprietor and his/her business. According to the Florida Department of State Manhattan Mortgage Services had been registered as a business back on 5/20/1998, but the registration had expired on 12/31/2003. I then looked for evidence that this entity had a license to lend money in Florida and learned that a Mortgage Broker's license had been issued to this entity in June 1998 but revoked only two months later. So at the time this loan was originated, in March 2008, there was no active lending license on record for this entity, nor for the individual who had registered the fictitious business name.

Pitted cones and domes on Mars: Observations in Acidalia Planitia and Cydonia Mensae using MOC, THEMIS, and TES data
Domes and cones with summit pits located in Acidalia Planitia and Cydonia Mensae were studied using MOC and THEMIS images and a TES-derived thermal inertia map. North of 40.5°N latitude, the features have a dome-like morphology, and south of that latitude, the morphology is more cone-like. Layering is apparent in the summit craters of fresher looking southern cones, and asymmetric aprons were observed in some instances. Some of the northern domes also display layering in their summit craters, but asymmetric aprons were not observed. The northern domes can also display multiple summit pits or no summit pits at all and can occur in association with higher-albedo ''pancake'' features. The northern domes are higher in albedo but have apparent thermal inertias that are lower than the surrounding plains. The apparent thermal inertia values of the southern cones range from values comparable to the surrounding plains to slightly lower. From the TES thermal inertia map, we infer that the thermal inertia values of the pitted cones are between those of basaltic fine dust and sand, while those of the surrounding plains are closer to that of basaltic sand. While a unique interpretation of the origin of the pitted cones is not possible with the available data, we do not find compelling evidence to suggest an origin related to either basaltic volcanism or ground-ice. Instead, an origin for these features through some combination of mud volcanism and evaporite deposition around geysers and/or springs is most consistent with the observations.

I'll be doing the Level 1 Fall management class. Looking forward to it...
I was just booking my flight tonight - it appears I can fly from Portland to Charlotte Round trip for just under $250.
Erin Forbes, EAS Master Beekeeper
Other than cost of joining EAS, what is the cost of signup for the various workshops?
I am giving serious consideration in attending. Even thought it will be my second trip to Bonne within a 30 day period. I always go to Grandfather Mountain Scottish Festival.
Bee all you can Bee!
The registration with prices will be in the Spring EAS Journal which comes out sometime in May.There will also be registration via the web site.
For an idea of previous years costs go here:
Click on year.
Click on registration.
Click on Downloadable form or some such language.
The costs are there but you may have to dig
I'll see all you folks when you get here. I work on campus. It will be exciting to be Immersed around so many diverse beeks.
Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
Thomas A. Edison
Always great to meet a local.
I'm spending an extra few days to see the area.
Maybe you could give us all some local recomendations.
Good restaurant...not a chain
Local fruit and veggie stand. Peaches?
Good hikes
Local swimmin' hole
Rainy day attractions
Friendly beer joint with music that doesn't mind a few yankees.
Local attractions: There is the beautiful Grandfather mountain just a few minutes drive, then you have Blowing Rock park. You have the blue ridge parkway that you can get on and drive. You have Linville Gorge and Linville Caverns that are right near or on the parkway. There is an amusement part called Tweetsie that the kids love. It runs two late 1800 steam locomotives with a cowboy and Indian show on the train. (The train gets robbed, etc.) You can tour Samaritan's Purse headquarters, this is the ministry that Franklin Graham runs that does disaster relief and the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. It's a pretty big facility for around here. There are many more things around if you want to drive. If you have some extra time to travel over to Asheville to see Biltmore Estate, that is quite the sight.
Good Restaurant: Woodlands BBQ in Blowing Rock, many of the little restaruants right around the University are good. Mike's Inland Seafood is actually really good. (I know seafood in the mtns, but honestly they have really good seafood). Makoto's Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi is very nice. The Peddler steakhouse is a favorite of mine. (Get the Toll House Cookie Pie dessert). I know I'm missing some on here, but having a hard time thinking this morning.
Not much fruit is grown in the mountains because of the ever changing weather, however about 30 - 40 minutes in Wilkes there is a community in the Brushy Mountains that sell Apples and Peaches. That late into season though you might have a hard time getting a hold of some peaches as they sell out quick. There are about 15 good size orchards on the Brushies, one of them is my father and mother in laws farm.
Good hikes: You'll want to research that one because there are trails everywhere. The Linville Gorge, Moses Cone, The Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge parkway trails, the list could go on and on.
Don't know of really a local swimming hole. Very few people here have swimming pools even.
Rainy day: Not much except shopping, Blowing Rock, downtown Boone, etc.
Bar: Going to have to leave that one up to you. Not a drinker or a bar pigeon. Sorry.
Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
Thomas A. Edison
Thanks for the list. It's printed and in the folder.
I'm camping at Grandfather and will probably hike there.
My wife and I visited Biltmore 4 yrs ago on the way home from Georgia.A good day trip for anyone in the area.We ran into a EAS member from Texas on the tour.

The Bible teaches that people are lost. Listen to this. The Bible teaches that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23, KJV). The Bible teaches that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23, KJV). The Bible teaches that everyone outside of Jesus Christ is lost and on the road to hell.
You say, "Well, I don't know whether I believe that or not." But the Bible says so. Let's come back to the Bible. I didn't say it; God said it. God said that there is a place prepared for the devil and his angels, toward which every man and woman and boy and girl is going, outside of Jesus Christ.
And father and mother and sister and brother, whoever you are, get this straight right now! We've been here for eight weeks. I've tried to warn you. I have preached to you. I've tried to bring you to a knowledge of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. But it seems that it's been impossible to get some of you to Jesus Christ. Let me warn you: The summer is almost ended. The harvest is past. And you're still not a Christian. You're still not saved.
Here is God's warning: "My spirit shall not always strive with man" (Genesis 6:3, KJV). Scripture says, "He that hardeneth his heart, being often reproved, shall suddenly be cut off, and that without remedy" (Cf. Proverbs 29:1). And the Bible warns that if you reject or neglect Jesus Christ today, having heard the Gospel, you may never have another chance. You may never go to heaven, because you've rejected Jesus Christ.
"Well," you say, "so what? I'm all right. I go to church. I pay my debts. I live a pretty good life."
Do you know what God says? God says that your works are as filthy rags in His sight. God says that our works will never get us to heaven. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV). God says that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23, KJV). And God says, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Ezekiel 18:4, KJV).
What is death? Death is spiritual death, and that death means the lake of fire and brimstone that burns forever. That means that every person who rejects Christ and His atoning work is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. And God doesn't cast him there. You know who casts him there? He casts himself! He sends himself to hell because he's rejected God's only Way of salvation, which is through Jesus Christ.
You say, "Well, what kind of a place is hell?" I'm going to read to you right out of the Bible what kind of place it is. This is where some of you are going to spend billions and billions of years. You'd better listen. This is God's Word.
Revelation 20:15 says it's a lake of fire. Psalm 11:6 says it's a horrible tempest. Psalm 18:5 says it's a place of sorrows. Matthew 13:42 says it's a place of wailing, a furnace of fire. Luke 16:23 says it's a place of torments. Matthew 8:12 says it's a place of outer darkness. Revelation 14:11 says it's a place of unrest. Luke 16:24 says it's a place where people scream for mercy. Matthew 25:46 says it's a place of everlasting punishment.
That is God's description–not mine. And God says that all people outside of Jesus Christ are headed to that place unless they repent of their sins and turn by faith to Jesus Christ.
Now, listen. The same Bible that teaches the wrath and the anger and the judgment of God also teaches the love of God, the mercy of God and the long-suffering of God. I could read you scores of Scriptures.
Psalm 103:8 says, "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy" (KJV). Deuteronomy 4:31 says, "For the Lord thy God is a merciful God; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them" (KJV). Isaiah 55:7 says, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon" (KJV).
God hates sin with a holy hatred. And as long as you're attached to your sins, you're going to spend eternity in hell. But thanks be unto God, He's provided a way out of hell. He's provided a way to heaven, and He's done it because He loves us. Always remember this; always keep this in mind–that God is a God of love. God is not only a God of holiness; He is a God of love. And God is not willing that any person should ever perish or spend eternity in hell (Cf. 2 Peter 3:9).
God the Father doesn't want you to go to hell. God doesn't want you to be lost. He's done everything He can to keep you out of hell, because He loves you.
And then He gave His greatest Gift: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16, KJV). That's how much God loves us. God sent His Son in the form of flesh to die on the cross, so that you might never go to hell. What more can God do? If you reject the finished work of Calvary, then there's no other way of sacrifice and no other way of repentance. There's no other way of salvation except through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary.
I see the Lord Jesus Christ as He goes to the cross of Calvary, and I think of a Father's love that's bursting for those that have wandered away from Him. God wants you to return today. God wants you to be saved by accepting and trusting and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.
God the Father does not want you to go to hell. Neither does God the Son. And God the Holy Spirit doesn't want it, either. And let me say this: Unless you're convicted by the Spirit of God, you can never be a Christian. Unless you're wooed, unless you've been drawn by the Spirit of God, you can never be saved.
And you know who is speaking to you right now? Listen. Do you hear that still, small voice in your soul that says you're not right with God? Do you hear Him say that you ought to get right with God? That's the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is speaking to you today and trying to get you to trust Christ, and you haven't done it.
When the Holy Spirit draws you and the Spirit of God speaks to you and points out Christ and tells you of your need of Christ, to resist the Spirit of God is a dangerous thing. He speaks because He loves you. But you've turned down His voice. You try to quench the fire in your breast. You turn Him down and you resist, and you resist until it's all over. Then your heart is too hard, and you can't hear the Spirit again.
This is the last meeting of this campaign. If you're ever going to be saved, if you're ever going to be sure you're saved, you'd better do it today. This may be the last chance you will ever have. Come. Make sure. Settle it today.
God the Son doesn't want you to go to hell. Look at the Lord Jesus Christ as those steel pellets on the end of those leather thongs beat across His back. Look at Him as they pull His beard. They spit upon Him. They put a crown of thorns upon His brow. And He staggers underneath the load of the great cross. He makes His way to Golgotha's mount, and there they put Him between heaven and earth and between two thieves. They crucify Him there.
And He hung on the cross while legions of angels were ready to come down and rescue Him and sweep the whole mob into hell. But thanks be unto God, He loved us. He loved us–so much so that He was willing to stay there and endure hell and torment, that you and I might never go there.
The only person who wants you in hell is the devil. He's the only one. And you know what he's doing today? He's whispering in your ear. He says, "Don't you make a decision for Christ; you've got plenty of time." That is the devil's big lie: "You've got plenty of time." But you don't have plenty of time.
Scripture tells us, "Today is the day of salvation; now is the accepted time" (Cf. 2 Corinthians 6:2). I cannot find one place in this Bible where it says that you have one more hour. I can't find a place in this Bible where it says that you have even one more minute. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation, and the Bible warns us to come to Christ now–before it's too late.
Listen. One of these days the door of grace and mercy is going to be closed, and it'll be too late. And today may be the last time you'll ever be in a meeting like this. And if you're to ever come to Christ, if you're to ever make sure of your salvation, do it today. Now is the time!

TxDOT to fund control towers slated for closure at 13 small airports
In response to the federal government's plan to close control towers at 13 small Texas airports, the Texas Department of Transportation announced Thursday it will pick up the slack.
The department said it intends to fund continued service of air traffic controllers at the 13 towers when federal funding stops due to nationwide budget cuts.
The decision must be approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, which is scheduled to meet Thursday in an emergency session.
Last week the Federal Aviation Administration announced it would close 149 air traffic control towers on April 7. Thirteen Texas towers were on the list, including those at Sugar Land and Conroe airports.
"Safety is the primary reason we felt a need to take immediate action for the air travelers and business aircraft that use these airports," Texas Transportation Commissioner Fred Underwood said in a news release.
TxDOT will get the money from existing state aviation funds, said spokesman Mark Cross.
The estimated cost of paying the air traffic controllers is $7 million a year, Cross said.
The initiative for the funding came from Gov. Rick Perry's office, he said.
Politics criticized
Perry spokeswoman Lucy Nashed, when asked if stepping in to pay for air control staffing weakens arguments by the governor and others against federal spending, said the difference is in where the cuts were made.
"Shutting down White House tours doesn't do anything," she said.
Most of the federal government's spending problem is within entitlements like medical care and Social Security, she said.
"Instead they are shutting down air traffic control towers and letting illegal aliens run free in the street," Nashed said.
Perry, an experienced pilot, believes some airports are vital for community safety, Nashed said. She noted the New Braunfels airport is used for air ambulances, and the Brownsville airport is the only one in the South Texas-Padre Island region.
"We're not going to sit there and play politics with safety," Nashed said.
Other Austin lawmakers said it was Perry who waded into the political mire of the sequester.
"Even when making the correct choice with regard to air traffic control, Governor Perry reflects badly on our state," said Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, in a statement. "No one in Texas is well served by Rick Perry's extreme partisanship and mean-spirited rhetoric. Time and again, Governor Perry displays the same type of Washington-style divisiveness that resulted in the sequester and put these small airports at risk in the first place."
Regional importance
Sugar Land city spokesman Doug Adolph said the proposed TxDOT funding was great news.
"We appreciate the efforts of the state in recognizing the importance of our air traffic control tower and its contributions to the regional economy," Adolph said Thursday.
Although not a done deal and not a permanent solution, the proposal is a step in the right direction, Adolph said.
The Sugar Land Regional Airport handles more than 85,000 takeoffs and landings a year, and last year Lone Star Executive Airport in Conroe handled about 62,000, officials said.

A controversial $400 million plan to replace the Ambassador Bridge with a new, larger span over the Detroit River has received another governmental clearance — but many more remain.Transport Canada and the Windsor Port Authority jointly said Thursday they have issued a decision under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act that a replacement bridge and larger Canadian border traffic plaza are unlikely to cause a significant adverse environmental effect. Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel "Matty" Moroun has for years been trying to gain approval to build a six-lane, cable-stayed span adjacent (west) to the original four-lane span that opened in 1929. Moroun has constructed some of the traffic ramps and plaza in Detroit necessary for a new span, but has been unable to proceed further because of a lack of approvals and legal wrangling.
Canadian government: 2nd Moroun bridge won't harm environment
Analyzed in the Canadian environmental report were the potential effects on air and water quality, wildlife, noise, vibrations, human health, physical and cultural heritage, and several other factors."The management and owners of the Ambassador Bridge are very pleased that we have been able to work collectively with Canada to finalize the environmental assessment. This is another step in the process which will lead to the construction of a new twin span of the Ambassador Bridge," the bridge company said in a statement. Moroun still must get environmental approval for the new span from the U.S. Coast Guard, and a presidential permit from the U.S. State Department. Moroun has argued he doesn't need the presidential permit because the Ambassador Bridge already exists. In Canada, the project still requires approval under the International Bridges and Tunnels Act and the Port Authorities Operations Regulations, Transport Canada said. It wasn't immediately clear what the status is of those other required approvals. The environmental decision issued this week is based on a submission made by the Canadian Transit Co. — the Ambassador Bridge's business unit in Ontario — in 2006. The delay in granting it came because the Canadian Transit Co. it didn't submit all the required information, Transport Canada said. The agency reiterated Friday, in an email to Crain's, that the approval granted this week is for a single new span and not an effort to twin the Ambassador Bridge. "It is important to note that the EA was based on a 'replacement' span and that, once completed, the existing Ambassador Bridge would be taken out of service," Transport Canada spokesman Mark Butler said. Moroun has said the original span would be used only for overflow border traffic during major events.
Opposition, lawsuits
There has been opposition in Canada to a new Ambassador Bridge span mainly because of worries about increased traffic around Windsor.Canada is funding a $2.1 billion effort to build a new bridge, the New International Trade Crossing, about a mile downriver from the Ambassador Bridge. The goal is to have it open by 2020. Moroun, a Grosse Pointe trucking industrialist and one of Michigan's wealthiest residents, opposes the NITC project as unfair and unneeded government competition that he has said will bankrupt the Ambassador Bridge by taking lucrative commercial truck traffic. Government-funded studies on behalf of NITC show that it's estimated the new span will take about half of the commercial truck traffic. Michigan and Canada say it's necessary to do so, by building a second span, to ensure there is border-crossing redundancy, to bolster commerce and to create jobs. Moroun has filed an array of lawsuits over the years on behalf of his bridge effort, and to halt NITC, which already has received its presidential permit.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- A man with a history of spouting anti-Semitic rhetoric is suspected of shooting to death a boy and his grandfather outside a Jewish community center near Kansas City, Kansas, and then a woman at a nearby Jewish assisted living facility.
Police say Frazier Glenn Cross is the suspect in the shootings.
He is the founder and former leader of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups. Both organizations operated as paramilitary groups in the 1980s, according to the SPLC.
In the 73-year-old's anti-Semitic and white-supremacist activities, he has also used the name Frazier Glenn Miller, the SPLC said.
After he was apprehended at a nearby elementary school, Cross sat in the back of a patrol car and shouted "Heil Hitler!" video from CNN affiliate KMBC shows.
Investigators have determined that the shootings could be a hate crime, Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass said at a Monday news conference.
Cross faces charges of premeditated first-degree murder, officials said.
He obtained firearms from a "straw buyer," a middleman with a clean record who could buy weapons legally and then sell or give them to Cross, allowing Cross to avoid federal background checks, a U.S. law enforcement official said. He had three guns when he was arrested Sunday, authorities said.
Barry Grissom, the U.S. attorney for Kansas, told reporters Monday that he has "received communications" from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder expressing Holder's "concern and condolences."
"We are in a very good place from an evidence standpoint of moving forward with this case and we will be presenting it to the grand jury in the not-too-distant future," Grissom said.
If the suspected shooter is charged and convicted of a hate crime, under federal law, the death penalty could be on the table. That would apply if the charge is that the defendant was motivated by the victims' "race, color, religion or national origin."
The shootings took place at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and the Village Shalom Retirement Community in Overland Park a day before the start of Passover, a major Jewish holiday.
"The timing is terrible. The timing is awful," said Rabbi Herbert Mandl, a chaplain with the Overland Park police.
The police chief said the gunman shot at five people; none of whom he is believed to have known.
There were no other injuries, authorities said.
Police were investigating statements the man made after his arrest but declined to provide additional details, Douglass said.
The Anti-Defamation League said it warned last week of the increased possibility of violent attacks against community centers in the coming weeks, "which coincide both with the Passover holiday and Hitler's birthday on April 20, a day around which in the United States has historically been marked by extremist acts of violence and terrorism."
On Monday, the ADL reissued a security bulletin to synagogues and Jewish communal institutions across the country, urging them to review their security plans for the Passover holiday, which begins at sundown Monday.
'That idiot...knocked a family to its knees'
The shooting began just after 1 p.m. Sunday in the Jewish community center's parking lot.
Inside, the center was a hive of activity. A performance of "To Kill a Mockingbird" was about to begin, and auditions were under way for "KC Superstar," an "American Idol"-style contest for the best high school singer in the Kansas City area.
Outside, the gunman opened fire. Police said he was armed with a shotgun and may have been carrying other weapons. Reat Griffin Underwood, 14, was there to audition for the singing competition. His grandfather, William Lewis Corporon, was driving him. The bullets struck them in their car. Both died.
Reat was a high school freshman active in debate and theater. He loved singing and performing in his church's choir, his uncle said.
Corporon was a doctor who practiced family medicine in Oklahoma for many years before moving to the Kansas City area to be closer to his grandchildren, his family said.
"That idiot absolutely knocked a family to its knees for no reason," Reat's uncle and William's son, Will Corporon, said at a news conference Monday afternoon.
"My dad should be seeing patients today at his work. ... There is no reason. No reason for this. And it's just a tragedy."
Dr. Corporon worked 40 hours a week, and every free moment he had, he spent with his grandchildren, Will Corporon said.
"My father leaves a huge legacy of community and of healing," he said. "And it's just unbelievable that a senseless, stupid act can cause so much hurt and grief and pain."
Mother: 'They were ambushed'
Grandfather and grandson were Methodists, their pastor, the Rev. Adam Hamilton, told CNN on Monday.
Since the shooting, he has tried to comfort Mindy Losen, who is William Lewis Corporon's daughter and Reat's mother.
"They are devastated but they have a real deep faith and strength of conviction," Hamilton said. "They are overwhelmed with grief. They don't believe that this was God's will. This person was doing something evil and not keeping with God's will. They do believe that their loved ones are safe in the arms of God."
On Monday, Losen told reporters that she had been comforted by family, friends and faith.
"I feel confident from what I heard that they didn't feel anything. They didn't know what was coming. They were ambushed. ... It was a horrible act of violence," she said. "My dad, our dad, and my son were at the wrong place at the wrong time for a split second. And we want something good to come out of this."
As she mourns her son's death, she said she's hoping his organs can be used in transplants.
A woman caring for her mother
After the shooting started, the center went into lockdown.
"Some of these kids were taken into locker rooms and told to lay on the floor as the shots rang out," CNN affiliate KSHB reporter Lisa Benson told CNN.
Jeff Nessel, a parent, told The Kansas City Star he had just dropped his 10-year-old son off at the community center when a staff member told him to get back inside because there had been a shooting.
"We'll keep you on lockdown. You're safe here," Nessel said a staff member told him.
The gunman then drove to the retirement home, where he shot the third victim in the parking lot. Authorities identified her as Terri LaManno, who was visiting her mother as she usually did every Sunday at Village Shalom.
LaManno's Catholic church, St. Peter's Parish, posted a message on its web site calling LaManno "a loving mother and wife, and a gentle and giving woman."
The Children's Center for the Visually Impaired in Kansas City, where LaManno worked as an occupational therapist, described her as a "gracious, generous, skilled and deeply caring individual who made a great difference in the lives of so many children and their families."
'A raging anti-Semite'
Cross is a "raging anti-Semite" who has posted extensively in online forums that advocate exterminating Jews, the Southern Poverty Law Center said.
He has called Jews "swarthy, hairy, bow-legged, beady-eyed, parasitic midgets."
According to the SPLC, Cross founded and ran the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1980s. He was forced to shut down after the SPLC sued him for operating an illegal paramilitary organization and intimidating African-Americans.
He then formed another group, the White Patriot Party.
In the late 1980s, Cross spent three years in prison on weapons charges and for plotting the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees. The short sentence was a result of a plea bargain he struck with federal prosecutors. In exchange, he testified against 14 white supremacists in a sedition trial in Arkansas in 1988.
"He was reviled in white supremacist circles as a 'race traitor,' and, for a while, kept a low profile," according to an SPLC profile of him. "Now he's making a comeback with The Aryan Alternative, a racist tabloid he's been printing since 2005."
Connection with other shootings?
The Jewish center shootings come as a spate of highway shootings in the Kansas City area have many residents on edge.
Douglass said authorities don't have any information tying the highway shootings to Sunday's violence, but he said that's a possibility they'll consider.
"It's too early to tell," he told reporters on Sunday. "We have no active information that would lead us in that direction. But the investigation is so early, as you might imagine, we will be working with the Kansas City, Missouri, police department to cover any lead and if that's a possibility."

Welcome to my oatmeal page! 🙂
If you haven't already noticed, oatmeal is one of my #1 favourite foods. The main reason why I love it is because of its taste. Yes, nutrition is important, but I wouldn't eat it every day if it tasted like rotten eggs or… celery. Ew. Anyways, oats are creamy, naturally sweet, and totally stick-to-your-ribs. They are the ultimate morning comfort food!
Lucky for me, it's also one of the healthiest. Here are my top five reasons why.
1) The belly-filling fiber in oatmeal keeps me full for hours. Oatmeal is known for being rich in fiber. Just a third of a cup of oatmeal (with toppings) is enough to keep me going from 7:00 AM to lunch at 12:30. That's pretty amazing! I know that if I have scrambled eggs with toast in the morning, my tummy will be grumbling in math class at 10:00.
2) Oatmeal is low-calorie, low-fat, and high in protein. A whole cup is about 130 calories. I usually have a scant 1/3 cup, which clocks in at about 130 calories. WOW! From what I know, it's also got high levels of protein (quinoa has the most!).
3) It's a whole grain with lots of vitamins and minerals. I really believe that the carbs (whole grain) help athletes like me perform better by providing a steady stream of energy, rather than short, sugar-induced bursts.
4) Oatmeal is fairly unprocessed and natural. It's definitely what I consider "real food".
5) Oatmeal is said to prevent cardiovascular disease. That's heart disease. Beta-glucan, a special fiber in oatmeal, lowers "bad cholesterol". Beta-glucan is also known to help protect your tummy from bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi (this sounds like my Biology class…) and other icky little guys that can get into your intestines. Oh yeah, and they stabilize blood sugar. On top of controlling blood pressure and reducing the risk of diabetes, oatmeal is also full of antioxidants and potentially (still being researched) protect you from cancer.
Check out this website for more health benefits. Yay for healthy oatmeal!
**6) My mom's favourite reason: Oatmeal is cheap! A big bag, which lasts about two months, will cost only $3.00 from your average department store (we get ours from Wal-Mart). Beware – because oatmeal is natural/healthy, you'll find it at Whole Foods – for a MUCH higher price. Yesterday, I saw it at WF marked at $6.00 a bag! On discount at Superstore, the same huge bag of Quaker oats will cost only $2.50!
My mom also likes oatmeal because it helps her poop. I'm serious! The high fiber content relieves constipation – see this website for more information.
It's also gluten-free, if you can't have wheat. Make sure the oats are labelled "processed in a gluten-free environment" or something like that, because contamination could occur!
Oatmeal comes in three types: rolled, steel-cut, and instant. Steel-cut is the most pure, unprocessed version. Steel-cut oats are chewy, hearty, and toothsome. They are a little more "gluey", and not as liquid/creamy. Steel-cut oats take a long time to cook, usually 30-40 minutes of simmering. Rolled oats are steel-cut oats that have been rolled flat. They cook in about five minutes, and turn out very creamy, soft, and tender. Rolled oats are my favourite! I like Quaker brand large-flake rolled oats. Instant oats are rolled oats that have been pressed even flatter. They cook in one or two minutes, usually in the microwave. Instant oats are usually heavily sweetened, and come in packets with powdered milk and flavour enhancers. Some people prefer the sweetness of instant oats, but why not add some maple syrup or honey to rolled oatmeal? It tastes way better. 😀
Oatmeal is also super versatile. You can add oats to pancakes, yogurt, baked goods, smoothies, or granola. Try it as a healthy pancake substitution, or add a couple tablespoons to whole wheat banana bread batter. You can even sprinkle some raw oats on a yogurt + berry bowl for extra fiber. Don't forget how yummy oatmeal raisin cookies are. 😛
Now, before you go make yourself a bowl of plain oats with water, remember that oats are oats. They're plain! They need some flavour! Here is how I make my oatmeal.
♥ 1/3 cup dry rolled oats (you can amp it up to 1/2 cup if you have a regular appetite – I like saving mine for the toppings – or lower it to a scant 1/3 cup, which I do when I'm not too hungry)
♥ 1/3 cup milk (I like 2% organic and unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
♥ 1/3 cup water
♥ 1 pinch salt
♥ 1 big dash of cinnamon (I go super heavy on the cinnamon – usually 1/4 tsp or more. It goes so well with maple/honey and berries)
OPTIONAL stir-ins
♥ 1/2 banana, sliced thin or mashed // 2 scoops pumpkin puree
♥ 1 tbsp ground flax
♥ 1 tsp chia
♥ 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
♥ 1 tablespoon raisins or other dried fruit
1. Combine oats, milk, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Add banana if you like. Cover for three minutes (careful, you don't want it to bubble over).
2. Cook, stirring occasionally. If you are using banana, stir continuously until emulsified.
3. When it reaches desired consistency, add stir-ins. Flax, cinnamon, and salt are my must-adds. Dried fruit are great, too.
4. Stir a little longer. Add a splash of milk if it's too dry. Done!
Lastly, it's important that you know the toppings make the oatmeal. Like salad, oatmeal isn't yummy without toppings. I like adding a scoop of nut butter (extra protein + healthy fat), granola for crunch, sliced banana, fresh berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Try some… or all.

British actress Sonya Walger has a lot to celebrate.
The "Lost" actress (she plays Desmond's ladylove Penny), has a new show premiering this week – the heavily anticipated "FlashForward" on ABC — and she is celebrating her recent nuptials to screenwriter Davey Holmes.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hot Shots Of The New Shows & Stars Of Fall 2009 Television
"I got married six weeks ago," the blonde actress told People earlier this week. "It's just a sweet thing. I haven't got a better word for it. It's an enormous amount of sweetness."
Sonya, who married Davey in July, said her big day was accentuated by the downtime she got to have before the big event.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Ladies Of Primetime Television
"I felt very unstressed on my wedding day," she said. "I'm very grateful for that … spending the day on my own, being super quiet and happy and just puttering around doing my own thing."
The rehearsal dinner was enjoyable too.
"We had a Beatles karaoke band," she said.

But Sonya revealed it was tough to pick a song to belt out to her guests.
"I love the ones that I can sing so it tends to be like 'Michelle' and 'Norwegian Wood' because I can sing them," she told the mag.
