|Help Blazing Cat Fur
During my battles with the Canadian "human rights" regime, we relentlessly exposed the corrupt relationship between the Commissars and Canada's self-appointed Hatefinder-General, Richard Warman. See here and here, among many other places. I also spoke about him when testifying to Parliament. Almost as soon as the truth about his Nazi website postings became known, Warman began suing. He sued Ezra Levant, with whom I'll be appearing on Saturday, as well as Kate McMillan, Kathy Shaidle, Free Dominion and anyone else who got in his way. At the time, many people asked me why he hadn't sued me, both for columns that appeared in Maclean's and for posts such as this one at SteynOnline.
Well, the reason he didn't sue me is because (a) Maclean's is a corporate entity with very deep pockets and (b) SteynOnline is based in the United States, where no court would give him the time of the day. So considerably more vulnerable Canadians have had to bear the brunt and serve as proxy targets for Warman's shakedown racket. He is nowsuing Blazing Cat Fur merely for linking to "far-right web site" SteynOnline, and demanding half-a-million dollars for damage to his "reputation". "Lame," says Instapundit. Warman will not win, but please go over and drop a few bucks in the Cat's kitty for his legal defense fund. The disgusting Warman has already been rebuked by a CHRT judge for his dress-up Nazi activities, and we owe the exposure of that not to his doting stenographers at The London Free Press but to a few plucky bloggers like Cat Fur. Do help out if you can. (More on this from Mrs Cat Fur. See also Cat On A Hot Trudeaupian Roof - and some cartoon advice for both Warman and the Prophet.)
As for being a "far-right web site", during the period Richard Warman is suing over, SteynOnline featured my acclaimed obituaries from The Atlantic Monthly, my column from The Irish Times (one of the most liberal newspapers in Europe), interviews with Oscar-winning songwriters, and baking advice from Martha Stewart. By contrast, during the same time-frame, Stormfront member Richard Warman was busy posting racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay comments all over Nazi websites. You be the judge. As they say at NPR, maybe he should see a psychiatrist.American Power, Instapundit, Zilla of the Resistance, and other bloggers are calling out for us to help.

Grosse Freiheit 2012
|"Beatlemania Hamburg", the Beatles museum closed for business June 30th
Grosse Freiheit starts with the Beatles square, where five steel sculptures resembling the fledgeling prefabs stands on an LP-shaped circle.
|Grosse Freiheit as seen from the Beatles square
|The same view in 1960
|That's me inside Ringo/Pete's neck
|With nighttime come the neon lights
|Sixties nighttime
|Standing in Grosse Freiheit you glance over to the other side of Reeperbahn with the not-so-seedy Liedl food store
|Me, standing below where the Zigarren-Haus sign was in 1960
|The same building at nighttime
A bit up the Reeperbahn from Grosse Freiheit is the house where the Top Ten club once was. The Beatles played at the Top Ten Club in their free time (!) in 1960 and on payroll in 1961.
|Location of the Top Ten club
|On the ground floor, there's a Pizza Hut Express, but there's also a disco named Moon Doo in the house
Indra Club and Bambi Kino. When the Beatles first arrived in Hamburg in August 1960, they played at the Indra and slept at Bambi. Legend has it that the Bambi was a sex cinema, but it really wasn't, they featured regular movies. And it was never named Kino, the German word for Cinema, the Bambi was an "Filmkunsttheater" - a Movie Art Theater. But patrons are likely to have referred to it as Bambi Kino, nonetheless.
The Beatles used the Bambi's back entrance in Grosse Freiheit but the main entrance is around the corner in Paul Roosen strasse 33.
My main reason for going back to Grosse Freiheit this Thursday however, was to see what had become of Indra Club. When I was there in 2010, the club celebrated 50 years since the Beatles' debut with a weeklong series of concerts by the USA-based band "Bambi Kino" who tried to recreate the Beatles feeling, and the concert I attended was also filmed and televised. Back then, I presented Orhan, the owner of the Indra Club with some good prints of The Beatles at Indra, including a framed print of a photo I had colourised. I felt that the photos of the Beatles playing at the Top Ten Club which they had hanging on the walls at the Indra were inappropriate when there were photos taken at Indra Club itself in existance. So I made a return visit to see if the owner had made use of the photos and how the club had fared since it had been so prominently featured on TV the last time I was here.

Hard Rock Copenhagen vs Hamburg
|Apple poster by "The Fool"
I´ve been to the one in Copenhagen on previous occasions, and have been able to view a denim shirt there that once belonged to John Lennon. This time, Hard Rock Cafe Copenhagen disappointed us. We had to wait for 45 minutes to get a table, and to us, this seemed to be just a ploy in order to sell more waiting drinks from the bar, because there were vacant tables when we looked around. Secondly, the food was not so good. The steak was inedible, and I had to send for a new one. And the denim shirt was nowhere to be found. Apart from the Apple poster, what we found were these:
|A concert poster
|A gold record award
Disappointed with Copenhagen, but Hamburg more than compensated for the Danish experience. It started in the souvenir shop...
|John Lennon´s jacket and an envelope
|A letter from Paul McCartney
|As always, Ringo sent a postcard to his grandma
|And George wrote a letter to a fan
|A couple of magazines
|Four sketches from Stuart Sutcliffe´s hand
|Okay so it´s just a Michael Jackson autograph...
|Ringo signed a drumskin

The Beatles - The Vegas Job
|Not your average Beatles audience in Las Vegas
From the Beatles Bible:
4.00 pm, Thursday 20 August 1964. Following the previous day's performance in San Francisco, The Beatles flew straight to Las Vegas, where they arrived at 1am. Their chartered aeroplane landed at 1am at the Old McCarran Field at McCarran International Airport, from where they were driven to the Sahara Hotel. Two thousand fans defied the city curfew to see them arrive. The group spent the morning in their 18th floor penthouse suite, before leaving at 2.30pm for a sound check.
"Before LA we went and played in Las Vegas, where Liberace visited us. I think the first four rows of that concert were filled up by Pat Boone and his daughters. He seemed to have hundreds of daughters. There was all kinds of trouble in the States. There was everyone trying to sue us. There were girls trying to get into our rooms so they could sue us for totally made-up things. There was always this very peculiar suing consciousness. I'd never heard about suing people until we went to America." George Harrison - The Beatles Anthology
The Beatles performed two shows at the Las Vegas Convention Center, at 4 pm and 9 pm, each of which was seen by 8,000 people. Between the two shows the Los Angeles Police Department received a bomb warning, but decided that if they cancelled the second performance the risk of violence by disappointed fans was too great. The set was the standard one throughout the tour, with the exception of the addition of Till There Was You to one of the shows. The Beatles earned $30,000 for their performances. After the second concert The Beatles were advised to stay away from casinos, after police concerns that underage fans would be tempted to follow them.
|From TheGilly
From Tony Bramwell's site:
There was a wealth of media coverage for The Beatles in 1964. Everywhere they went, and practically everything they did was scrutinized and reported on the evening news and in every newspaper worldwide. To every rule there is an exception, here the exception is Las Vegas. It certainly is the lost and almost forgotten show by The Beatles. However, they did play Las Vegas Live with two shows at the Convention Center, Las Vegas on Thursday 20 August 1964. The first show was at 4:00 pm and the next later that evening at 9:00 pm.
The Beatles second visit to the U.S. opened with a rousing show at San Francisco's Cow Palace. Immediately after that show they boarded their private airplane and flew directly to Las Vegas. The Beatles arrived in Sin City at 1:00 am at McCarran International Airport, from where they were driven directly to the Sahara Hotel. The Sahara was the last remaining vintage "Rat Pack" casino-hotel, and anchored the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip. The porte-cochere entrance, topped by an onion-dome minaret, is designed to set the resort's warm Moroccan flavor and hospitality for arriving guests. That night over two thousand fans defied the city curfew to see them arrive. The group spent the morning in their 18th floor penthouse suite, before leaving at 2.30pm for a sound check.
The Beatles performed two shows at the Las Vegas Convention Center before an audience of 8,000 people, some were even fans. Few people remember that between the two shows the Las Vegas Police Department received a bomb warning. but The Beatles decided to go on despite the threat. Their greater fear was that a potential riot would break out by the disappointed fans. After the second concert The Beatles were advised to stay away from Casinos, after police concerns that underage fans would be tempted to follow them. In true Las Vegas style, slot machines were brought up to the Beatles private suite for their enjoyment.
It wasn't until recently that we realized that there was very little coverage for The Beatles visit to Las Vegas. We found this to be odd, considering the volumes of material for acts as The Rat Pack, Jerry Lewis, Liberace and Elvis, just to mention a few. Even stranger, The Beatles top every list as far as popularity goes. Channel 3 News reporter Tom Hawley who was hosting a weekly segment call Las Vegas' Video Vault." said that the television studio that would have covered The Beatles visit burned to the ground some thirty years ago.
(In 1964), Pat Butcher had a hot date and a decision to make: Go out with her new beau or go see the Beatles at the rotunda in the Las Vegas Convention Center. She chose the former and, to this day, regrets not doing the latter. From a practical standpoint, it's probably best that she skipped the show. It was nearly impossible to see or hear the band, thanks to an inferior sound system and thousands of shrieking fans who stood during the whole performance, say many who attended one of the two shows Aug. 20, 1964. But the event is a point of pride and cherished memory for many valley residents who can say they were one of about 16,000 lucky people who saw the future legends perform live, only a year after they exploded onto the music scene. When the Review-Journal asked readers to share their memories of the concert, more than 50 people called or e-mailed. "I wasn't a fan, but I thought, `They're famous, maybe I'll go see them,' " Butcher says of her reason for buying two tickets.
Shortly before the show, Butcher, 26 at the time, drove to the saucer-shaped rotunda, where a crowd waited for the British band to arrive. "I just remember standing there with my arm above my head saying, `Anybody want tickets?' " she says. "I didn't even want any money. I just gave them away. When I started liking them about 20 years ago, I started thinking, `Why didn't I go see them?' " Her hot date turned out to be a fun evening but not noteworthy 40 years later. Butcher says she remembers he took her out to eat at a fancy restaurant, then the couple went gambling. It was so unremarkable, she doesn't remember his name.
The Beatles appealed immediately to many young Americans who saw them perform on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in February 1964. Guys such as Las Vegan Joe Nicholas copied their fashions and hairstyle and, for awhile, boys named John, Paul, George or Ringo, were pretty popular, especially with the girls, Nicholas remembers. Even though Nicholas' father groused about his 13-year-old son's fascination with "them longhaired freaks," he paid the $2.20 price for a balcony ticket, Nicholas says. He and his best friend couldn't wait to see their idols in person and planned the event down to the slightest detail. They wore jeans and Beatles' boots in the mod style, Nicholas recalls. And they carried bags of jelly beans. The Beatles were rumored to like the candies, he says. The show turned out to be a bit of a letdown. They couldn't see anything but a sea of screaming girls. They didn't hear a single song and they didn't get to deliver their jelly beans. "I had no idea the place would be packed like that," Nicholas, now 53, says. "My buddy wanted to bring binoculars and I said, `Nah, that's rake.' We were too cool for that. It was a madhouse, people all over the place."
Georgia Lunt, now in her 70s, says she knew it was a big deal that the Beatles were coming to Las Vegas. Her husband, involved in the convention business, had received six free tickets to the concert. Determined not to waste them, Lunt took her two nephews, sister and two neighborhood kids. "When the Beatles came on you didn't hear one note for all the shrieking," Lunt says. "We turned around and told the kids to keep it down and they said they came all the way from California, there was no way they were going to quiet down."
"I remember thinking, `This sucks,' " says Bob Testoloin, 55. He was in the eighth grade at the time and, wanting to impress girlfriend Carlene Kraus, bought the tickets. She was in love with Paul McCartney, as many young girls were. "Being a kid I wasn't happy about that," Testoloin says. "I was bored, as I recall. I didn't hear one song, but the idea of being there was they were the Beatles. It was pretty crazy."

Letter, Joseph Denison to Br. [Isaac] Goodnow
Author: Denison, Joseph
Date: May 21, 1860
Joseph Denison wrote from Powhattan, Brown County, K.T., to Isaac Goodnow regarding issues of management of the church and college they had recently constructed. Denison had discovered that, due to the state of their treasury, some property needed to be sold in order to pay the taxes on the church lots. He also worried about the state of Bluemont College, as it had thus far only attracted 20 students.

Galveston Island on the Texas Gulf Coast is about an hour's drive from downtown Houston and is home to many residents who work in the Houston area and Houstonians who own weekend and vacation property in the City of Galveston or in the Galveston Bay area. Also, thanks to the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston is home to a thriving medical center and the personnel who staff it.
So proud of their heritage, and dedicated to the preservation of their beloved island, native Galvestonians distinguish themselves from the rest of their hometown's citizenry with the title "BOI" – which indicates that they were "born on the Island." Imbued with a rich and tantalizing history and rightly proud of its survival and recovery from some of the worst storms in history, Galveston continues to thrive and rebuild itself.
Galveston is an island with a proud history. Its people possess an unwavering fortitude. Believed to be the island where the Spanish explorer, Cabeza de Vaca, was shipwrecked, it has been a pirate refuge and the mega-center of Texas deepwater commerce. It has seen unimaginable riches and disasters, natural and man-made. The Islanders—past and present—have been impacted by disease, fires, hurricanes and a Civil War; and yet an indomitable spirit has always emerged, intact and proud. Galveston is a prime example of our Texas heritage, for it is our rich heritage that makes us exceptional and defines us.
Still, Galveston is best known as a tourist resort, along the gulf side's boardwalk, where you will find Texas Gulf Coast's premier amusement park, the Pleasure Pier, and on the bay side with its Moody Gardens offering the Aquarium Pyramid, the Rainforest Pyramid, the Discovery Pyramid, an IMAX 3d Theater and the beautiful Palm Beach. The Galveston Strand is a hot spot of activity virtually every weekend but truly comes alive during various celebrations including Dickens on The Strand during the holiday season and its Mardi Gras parade and related activities are renowned, and the nearby Port of Galveston welcomes a growing number of cruise lines.
Galveston's housing options range from stately Victorian-era and traditional homes within the city itself to beach and bayfront villas and bungalows on both the well-established West End, home to such communities as Pirates Beach, Lafitte's Cove, Jamaica Beach and Sea Isle, and the more recently developed East End that includes Beachtown. Also, a number of high-rise condominiums and apartment complexes dot the shoreline.

The Surrogate's Court is established in every county to handle cases involving the affairs of decedents, including the probate of wills, the administration of estates and trust proceedings. Family, Supreme, and Surrogate's Courts have concurrent jurisdiction over guardianships of the persons and property of infants. Family and Surrogate's Courts have concurrent jurisdiction over adoption proceedings.
Some Common Proceedings in Surrogate's Court
Estate Proceedings:
1) Probate: The process by which a will is proved to the satisfaction of the Surrogate Judge to be the valid Last Will and Testament of the decedent, resulting in the appointment of an Executor who collects assets, pays the decedent's bills and distributes the decedent's property according to the will.
2) Administration: A procedure for appointing an Administrator of an estate of a person who died without a will, who is then responsible for collecting and distributing assets.
3) Voluntary Administration: A simple and inexpensive method of administering the estate of a deceased person whose assets in the decedent's name alone do not exceed $50,000, for persons who died on or after January 1, 2009; or $20,000 for persons who died before then. Voluntary administration may not be used to administer real property.
1) Guardianship over an infant's (child under 18 years of age) "person:" A guardian is usually a family member who is granted authority to care for and make certain decisions for a child. Such decisions may include enrolling a child in school, arranging medical care for the child or securing government assistance, such as food stamps.
2) Guardianship over an infant's "property:" Whenever a child receives money (usually $10,000 or more) through an inheritance, life insurance, personal injury settlement or some other means, someone must be formally appointed by the Court to safeguard these funds until the child becomes 18. Usually, a parent (the child's "natural guardian") is the person appointed "legal guardian" over these funds. These funds are held under the joint control of the Court and no withdrawal will be permitted without the prior order of the Court.
3) Guardianship over an intellectually disabled or a developmentally disabled individual's person and/or property: Persons who are certified by at least two doctors as being unable to care for themselves because of intellectual disability or developmental disability can have a guardian appointed by the Court to make decisions on their behalf.
4) Article 81 guardianships: In limited circumstances, the Court will entertain a proceeding under Article 81 of the Mental Hygiene Law to appoint a guardian for the person or property of an adult who becomes unable to care for some aspect of his or her person or property.
1) Infant Adoptions: These are adoptions arranged directly between the parties or with the assistance of a private adoption agency.
2) Step/Parent or Remarriage Adoptions: This is an adoption in which the new partner or spouse of the birth parent or prior adoptive parent is adopting the birth parent's or prior adoptive parent's child.
3) Family Adoptions: These usually refer to grandparent adoptions.
4) Adult Adoptions: These are adoptions in which the person to be adopted is over the age of 18 years.
5) Foreign Adoptions: Many foreign countries are now finalizing adoptions prior to the new parents and children returning to the U.S. Although it is not mandatory to do a readoption here, adopting parents may wish to consider the benefit of having a U.S. birth certificate issued for their child.
Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Who may file an estate proceeding?
If there is a will, the person named as Executor or Executrix or, if that person is deceased or unable to act, the person named as Successor Executor/Executrix. If there is no will, a person who qualifies under the laws of intestacy may act.
What is a will?
A will is a written declaration of what a person wants done with his or her property upon death. A person who dies leaving a will is said to die "testate." The law requires certain formalities for a will to be valid. A valid will allows for a transfer of both personal property (e.g. bank accounts, furniture, stocks, clothing) and real estate which are in the decedent's name alone. It allows a person to name someone she trusts to be an executor of her estate and guardian over her children. It also can provide protection for family members, for example, by creating trusts in appropriate circumstances.
Where should I keep my will?
If a lawyer prepared your will for you, you may wish to discuss with your lawyer where to keep the original will. Generally, the original will should be kept in a safe place which will be easily accessible if it is needed. The Court has a fire-rated vault in which wills are stored for safekeeping. This service is free. Each will is kept confidential until the Court receives written notice of death, usually a certified copy of a death certificate. Upon receipt of proof of death, the court will open the will and it becomes a public document.
I am the Executor of a will. How do I get the will admitted to probate?
The original will and a certified copy of the death certificate need to be filed with the probate petition and other supporting documents in the Surrogate's Court located in the county in which the decedent was domiciled (primary residence). There will be a filing fee based on the size of the estate. Estate proceedings can range from the relatively simple to the extremely complex. Because in many cases it may be impossible at the beginning of the process to foresee what questions or issues may arise, it may be advisable to seek the assistance of counsel. If you are going to proceed without a lawyer, start by calling the appropriate Surrogate's Court for information regarding the necessary forms. However, Surrogate's Court employees are prohibited by law from giving legal advice. Forms and instructions are also available at http://nycourts.gov/forms/surrogates.
What happens if my loved one dies without a will?
A person who dies without a will is said to have died intestate. Because the deceased person left no direction on how to dispose of the person's assets, New York law provides for who will inherit the estate as the law assumes the person would want.
My mother left a very small estate. Is there an easy way for me to proceed?
If the value of the estate is under $30,000 for a person dying on or after January 1, 2009, and the decedent owned no real estate, a small estate proceeding may be filed. (The amount is $20,000 for persons dying before January 1, 2009.) The filing fee is $1.00. This proceeding is available for persons who died with or without a will.
My father died and the only asset is his house. Do I have to file a proceeding in Surrogate's Court to get it turned over to my sisters and me?
Not necessarily. By operation of law, real property vests in the estate's distributees at the time of death. Distributees are the persons entitled to share in an estate if there is no valid will. If your father died intestate (without a will) and was not survived by a spouse, the property is owned by you and your sisters (as well as the children of any predeceased siblings of yours) at the time of his death. You should contact the tax office to see what its requirements are to list you as owners. You may also wish to consult a real estate attorney to prepare a deed to make the title to the property "cleaner." If he died testate (with a will), the property would be devised as set forth in the will and a probate proceeding may be necessary.
My mother died in a nursing home. I was told that I must file a proceeding in Surrogate's Court to obtain the money in her personal account. What proceeding do I file?
If that is the only asset and the value of the total assets is under $30,000 ($20,000.00 for a person dying before January 1, 2009), you may file a small estate proceeding. If over the relevant monetary amount, you must file a full administration or probate proceeding.
My spouse died in a car accident. I have hired a lawyer to sue the driver of the other car. There are no assets other than the lawsuit. Does a proceeding need to be filed in Surrogate's Court?
Yes. A probate proceeding or administration proceeding will be necessary. The Executor or Administrator can then bring the lawsuit in the appropriate court. When a settlement is reached or a trial has been concluded, a proceeding should be brought in Surrogate's Court to allocate and distribute the proceeds to the proper persons.
How do I get a copy of a death certificate?
The funeral director usually purchases several originals for your use. You may obtain them from the Vital Statistics/Death Records Department in the municipality in which the person died.
How do I obtain guardianship (control) over a child and a child's property?
The Surrogate's Court can provide forms and help on how to fill them out. These forms and instructions are also available on the following website: http://nycourts.gov/forms/surrogates. You will need to file a copy of the child's birth certificate and other required information. Then an investigation will begin and other procedures will be necessary. Most commonly, these proceedings are processed on the papers submitted to the Court, without the necessity of a formal hearing. However, in some circumstances, the court may require a hearing. You may wish to consult an attorney about how to proceed with a petition for guardianship.
How can I obtain information about an adoption?
All New York State adoptions are sealed records. You must obtain a court order to open any adoption file after it is sealed at the time of the adoption. Inquire with the Surrogate's Court (or Family Court, if the adoption was approved there) in the county where you believe the adoption happened. Please be aware that advice and other assistance from an attorney may be needed for success. The Adoption Registry in Albany allows the adoptive child to receive non-identifying information. It also allows the birth parents the opportunity to register so there would be a chance that they will be matched and, with consent from each side, can contact each other. The telephone number for the Registry is (518) 474-9600.

AMD's stellar codename sequence for its upcoming K8L desktop processor family continues with 'Antares', 'Arcturus' and 'Spica', reports coming out of Taiwan allege. These chips will join 'Altair', which we reported on earlier this week, in AMD's constellation of next-generation 65nm processors.
According to a Chinese-language report on HKEPC, Antares will contain just two cores to Altair's four, each with 512KB of L2 cache and connected to 2MB of shared L3 cache. Antares will support HyperTransport 3.0 clocked at up to 4.2GHz, as per Altair. It's scheduled to ship in Q3 2007.
Arcturus is essentially the same chip as Antares, but with lower core and bus clocks and no L3 cache - either that or AMD plans to disable the shared cache. The HT 3.0 bus will run at up to 3.4GHz, which the core will be set at between 2.1GHz and 2.3GHz, compared to 2-2.9GHz for Antares, if the HKEPC report is to be believed. Arcturus will be a 65W part, while Antares will be offered as 35W, 65W and 89W SKUs.
Acturus is set to ship Q4 2007, the same quarter in which the mono-core Spica will debut, presumably targeting the bottom end of the Sempron line - it's the only K8L we know of whose codename begins with an 's'. Its core and bus speeds remain unknown, as is its TDP. But it too is a HT 3.0 part and like all the other K8L chips with the exception of the version of Altair designed for the Athlon 65 FX family, will sit on AMD's Socket AM2+ interconnect. ®

Watering the Tulips
July 11, 2012
"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone" – Hebrews 2:9
The "humiliation of Christ" is one of the most mind-boggling things in the entire world. It is no wonder that those who are wise in worldly things don't generally understand it (1 Corinthians 1:26). The thought of God becoming man is just foolishness to the natural mind (1 Corinthians 2:14). Nevertheless, it is one of the foundations of all truth. Jesus is the Creator (John 1:1-2). And yet, he was fully man when He came to this Earth as our text tells us. He was all God and all man – the God man, Jesus Christ.
Jesus willingly became a man. Philippians 2:7-8 tells us that Jesus "made of Himself no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross." What amazing love that Christ must have for His own that He willingly set aside the glory He had with the Father before the foundation of the world to suffer for us (John 17:5). He wasn't forced to do this. His will was in harmony with the Father's will so He willingly laid down His life for His sheep (John 10:11).
Paul said, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory" (1 Timothy 3:16). Certainly, it's a great mystery for our minds to consider. Jesus is 100% God. Yet, He came to this Earth as 100% man. He didn't cease to be God at that time. Yet, He was fully man. One may say, "That is impossible". Well, had it been anybody else, it certainly would have been impossible. But it happened nonetheless. It is absolute truth. Our ability to understand it doesn't validate it. God's Word is the foundation of all truth and it informs us of both Christ's deity and humanity. So, we must believe it.
So, what's the point? Why study this? Why consider this? Does it even really matter? Well, first of all it's in the Bible. So, it's worthy of consideration on that basis alone. But that certainly isn't the only reason. In God's plan, a man had to die for the sins of another man. We, as fallen men, needed a sinless Kinsman Redeemer to die for our sins. But no man is sinless. We all fell in Adam. We are all sinners (Romans 3:23). God certainly is not a sinner. Yet, God cannot die! So, there is a huge divide there in our minds. In fact, there is no human remedy here. Yet God, in His wisdom, made a way. His Son would become a man – albeit a sinless man – and suffer the penalty for the sins of His people (Matthew 1:21). Our sins cannot now be imputed to us because Christ willingly became our Mediator and paid for them (1 Timothy 2:5).
Do you trust this One today? Our prayer is that God has effectually drawn you to Christ as your personal Savior!

A Maine forester has measured what is believed to be the tallest American chestnut tree in its native range.
The 95-foot tree is in woodlands in this small town in southwestern Maine. There is no official record keeping, but officials with The American Chestnut Foundation say the Maine tree is thought to be the tallest from Maine to Mississippi.
Ann Siekman said she and her husband knew they had a tall chestnut on their property, but they had no idea it would be the tallest in the East.
�I personally am a tree lover, so it�s very important to me that all of us be aware of our tree heritage,� she said. �For that reason, I�m delighted it�s getting some attention.�
Once known as the redwood of the East, the American chestnut was one of the most dominant trees in the eastern United States, routinely growing as tall as 100 feet and measuring 5 feet across at the base.
But a blight overtook the trees during the first half of the 1900s, wiping out the population by the 1950s.
The American Chestnut Foundation, an Asheville, N.C.-based conservation organization devoted to restoring chestnuts to eastern woodlands, has regional offices that keep unofficial tabs on the trees. The Maine chestnut is the tallest that anybody with the foundation is aware of.
�Most of the bigger chestnuts we come across tend to top out around 70, 75 and maybe 80 feet,� said Kendra Gurney, the foundation�s regional science coordinator in Burlington, Vt.
Chestnuts tend to grow tallest when they�re crowded among other large trees and need to grow straight up in search of sun. Maine, the nation�s most heavily forested state, has plenty of oaks that grow higher than 100 feet and pines that can reach 150 feet.
The chestnut in Hebron is hidden from public view in some back woods among oaks, beeches and maples. Although people have known about it for years, it wasn�t officially measured until this fall when Maine Forest Service forester Merle Ring took its dimensions as part of a countywide big tree contest sponsored by the Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District.
Ring and Michele Windsor, from the conservation district, re-measured the tree Wednesday to confirm the earlier measurement.
Such measurements are done using the principles of trigonometry and a simple, handheld instrument called a clinometer.
Standing 100 feet from the tree, Ring used the clinometer to measure the angles to the top and bottom of the tree before calculating the height using the angle measurements.
There are large American chestnut trees in the West, but those were planted by settlers and are outside both the tree�s native range and the blight that wiped out the trees last century.

Published May 29, 2010
Patrick Morrissey recalls all the times he flew with his maternity-doctor wife, Kerry, and insisted that she carefully study the doors and handles on the aircraft so they could escape in the event of a crash.
"I know one thing about my wife, she understood," the occupational health and safety expert told The Vancouver Sun. "What I'd review with her, anytime we were on an aircraft, is where's the door, where's the exit, here's how you push it, the handle goes this way. To the point her eyes would roll."
Morrissey wasn't there last Nov. 29 at 4 p.m. when his 41-year-old wife and their six-month-old daughter Sarah were on board a Seair de Havilland float plane that crashed and sank in 14 metres of water in Lyall Harbour off Saturna Island.
Kerry had been attending a staff function for the South Community Birth Program on Saturna Island, he explains. "She was leaving early to get home to see Claire [their other daughter, age three] before she went to bed and didn't take the ferry that everyone else did a little later."
Morrissey is confident that his wife would have oriented herself in the cabin before the flight and would have tried her best to escape when events went horribly wrong.
"I know that she was trying to get out," he says softly, looking into the distance.
What Morrissey knows now is that Kerry managed to remove her seatbelt and the four snaps on the Snugli that held Sarah to her chest.
But, lying on the floor with a severely broken leg, she couldn't escape. "She wouldn't have been able to stand up, especially with the baby in her hand. There was no way...."
Kerry and Sarah were among six passengers who drowned that day because they could not get out of the aircraft. Two of t-he four doors on the de Havil land Beaver aircraft jammed. N-ooneworeapersonalflota tion device. The male pilot and one female passenger escaped.
It was a tragedy that touched hearts across Canada, and has s-tarted to shake up the avia tion industry. It's not just float planes that are affected, but helicopters, too, that operate over and on water, including t-hose involved in risky buck eting operations while fighting forest fires.
A-viation companies are start ing to take it upon themselves to set policy requiring pilots to w-ear life-jackets while work ing on water, as well as to take -egress training so they're bet ter able to escape should their a-ircraft crash on water and per haps flip over.
A few progressive operators a-re even going as far as mak ing life-jackets mandatory for passengers.
D-espite decades of warn ings about such safety issues, Transport Canada has failed to mandate changes, concluding t-he issue is not a high prior ity and there are no broad and easy fixes.
"It's going to come to the p-oint if you're not a safe com pany no one is going to fly with you, regardless of Transport Canada policies," commented Ken Birss, chief pilot with Highland Helicopters Ltd. in Richmond. "Those companies that don't embrace it will be left out in the cold."
Nowhere is the issue greater than in B.C.-- the undisputed f-loat plane capital of Can ada, based on Nav Canada statistics.
The agency responsible for air-traffic control in Canada reports a total of about 132,000 f-loat plane movements (take offs and landings) in 2009 at V-ancouver harbour, Victo r-ia harbour, Vancouver Inter national Airport and Prince Rupert. That represents 97 per c-ent of all float plane move ments at facilities staffed by Nav Canada across the country, but does not include flights at smaller bases up and down the c-oast or, for example, in Ontar io's cottage country.
Transport Canada estimates there are more than 4,000 float planes, both private and commercial, across the nation. Of 214 commercial operators in Canada, 41, or about 20 per cent, are located in B.C.
Just one of those operators, Harbour Air Seaplanes, billed a-s the world's largest all-sea p-lane airline, operates 15 sin gle-turbine de Havilland Otters and six Beaver piston aircraft.
Float plane risks greater
But this story is not really about statistics or even fatal accident rates. It's about the i-nexpensive safety improve ments that could be made to float planes, yet have gone l-argely ignored. And the cer tainty that more people will die in future crashes unless changes are made.
Float planes and helicopters are inherently more dangerous than flying a 747 jet, where the pilot has the benefit of a paved runway, air-traffic control, the latest weather conditions and emergency crews.
Smaller aircraft operating up and down the coast not only l-and on a liquid moving sur face but must rely on their own j-udgment for takeoffs and land ings, often with no immediate hope of help should things turn bad.
"There are more hazards in that environment," confirmed B-ill Yearwood, regional man a-ger of the federal transporta tion safety board in Richmond. "You have to work to bring those hazards under control."
H-e said risks can be miti gated, just as the auto-racing industry has found ways for drivers to walk away from some of the most horrific on-track crashes.
"If we manage those risks well, it will be a safe operation for everyone," he said, a goal that must include education, preparedness and appropriate aircraft safety equipment. "That's what we hope to encourage."
Joel Eilertsen is an industry l-eader who for years has volun tarily adopted safety initiatives on his fleet of five float planes that go well beyond what larger aviation companies have done.
The owner of Air Cab, based at Coal Harbour on northern Vancouver Island, emphasizes these measures need not be costly, suggesting special door handles can cost as little as $50 apiece, and improved life-vests closer to $150.
Y-et Transport Canada con tinues to leave the industry to its own devices, failing to act, despite repeated warnings at both the federal and provincial level.
A-s recently as 2009, the pro v-incial coroner's office deliv ered a report on the MJM Air crash off Quadra Island in 2005 i-n which the pilot and four pas sengers escaped from the Beaver float plane only to drown without life-jackets.
A-mong the 11 recommen dations: pilots be required to complete underwater egress training; passengers wear lifej-ackets equipped with function ing personal locator aids and a requirement for inflatable life-rafts. Another recommendation w-as that planes have water p-roof electronic locator trans mitters or automatically and manually released dye packs, or some other means to help locate a crash site in water.
O-f Transport Canada's con tinuing failure to act, Eilertsen states: "Common sense is not in their program. They're not p-rogressive in making it man datory for people to do things that make sense."
In response to the Saturna crash and TSB concerns, Viking Air Ltd. is working on safety modifications to the Beaver that could be available to the industry in a matter of months. (The Sidney-based company is the "type certificate holder" for the aircraft, having acquired the design from Bombardier in 2006.)
"What else could we do in the interests of improving safety?" V-iking president David Cur tis said of the move applauded by the TSB. "We're trying to be proactive. We're all ears to see what we can do."
Where does the tragic float plane chronology begin? That depends on just how far back you want to go.
Escaped but drowned
I-n 1988, a study by the Cana dian Aviation Safety Board cited eight occurrences in w-hichtheoccupantsexitedair craft but drowned attempting to swim to shore. It found that "occupants sometimes drown while attempting to reach lifejackets stowed in the rear of the cabin or under seats."
In 1994, the TSB issued a detailed report entitled A Safety Study of Survivability i. n Seaplane Accidents
Over 15 years ending in 1990, the agency tracked 103 fatal accidents on water in which 168 people died: 67 per cent outright from drowning, 11 per cent from injuries on impact, 10 per cent from drowning due to injuries that prohibited them from escape, and two per cent from exposure. The report recommended, in part: "The Department of Transport require that all occupants of s-eaplanes wear a personal flota tion device during the standing, taxiing, takeoff, and approach and landing phases of flight."
In 2000, given continuing concerns about underwater egress from crashed seaplanes, the TSB issued an aviation s-afety advisory urging Trans port Canada to review earlier safety recommendations and develop measures to enhance e-scape from cabins of sub merged seaplanes.
In 2005, the TSB reported on the crash of a Cessna 185 float plane in the Northwest Territories. The plane flipped and two passengers drowned because they were unable to exit. The TSB pointed to the r-isk of drowning that occu pants of float planes face in crashes and the need for safety improvements to allow easier egress. Passengers may also not receive an adequate safety briefing before takeoff.
In Australia, meanwhile, a new draft law under the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations s-tates each occupant of a sea plane, amphibian, or helicopter t-hat is "taking off from or land ing on water must wear a lifejacket equipped with a whistle and a survivor locator light." Implementation could take two years.
For family members of those who have perished, the delays and bureaucracy are heartbreaking.
"-People should just be wear ing their life-jackets," asserts Kirsten Stevens, who lost her 40-year-old husband, David, in the MJM Air crash. "You don't have time to get them out."
Darla MacDonald, who lost her 32-year-old fiance, Fabian Bedard, on the same fight, agrees:
"We need it mandatory that when anyone gets on a float plane they're wearing a lifejacket of some sort."
Over the years, Transport Canada has listened ... but not acted on such suggestions.
The agency conducted a review of float plane safety in August 2005 after the TSB report into the Cessna 185 float plane crash in the Northwest Territories.
T-ransport Canada's air certi fication division issued a report to Martin Eley, then-director of the aircraft certification branch, i-n 2006 on potential solu tions. They included push-out windows, jettisonable doors, emergency exit lighting, egress training, emergency breathing systems, the wearing of lifejackets and guidance to passengers on how to locate and open exit doors.
But Eley officially shelved the s-uggestions in a May 2008 let t-er to Merlin Preuss, then direc tor general of civil aviation.
"In a subsequent discussion you and I agreed that in the absence of a clear way forward, this file would be put on hold in deference to other civil aviation priorities.
"Any further work on this file would need to be evaluated in the context of our current organization and our current priorities."
Eley, who was promoted into Preuss's job in May 2009, explained in a recent interview from Ottawa the "reality is that float planes vary tremendously b-oth in terms of size and tech nology and that there was no readily available solution.
"At that point, on the basis of other priorities, we didn't have the ability to pursue some of the work that needed to be done to find how that would become practical. I was unable to find the resources to get further into that. It wasn't a rejection of the concept. "
Now, largely in response to the Saturna Island crash, Transport Canada is holding a workshop with the industry in the fall in Vancouver to gather opinions and share information on safety measures for float planes, including solutions that are widely available.
Safety briefing fell short
E-ley noted that another con sideration is that any higher standards set by Canada w-ouldhavetobemetbysimi lar aircraft arriving from other nations.
"-We continue to be con cerned about aviation safety," Eley said. "We're not being complacent."
Eley credits initiatives such as passenger safety briefings and a special safety pamphlet on egress-- S-eaplanes: a pas s-enger's guide -- on improv ing passenger safety in recent years.
In stark contrast to Eley's view, The Vancouver Sun found the passenger safety briefing to be wanting on a round-trip flight on a Harbour Air single-engine de Havilland Otter between Richmond and Nanaimo.
Eleven passengers received the following safety briefing from the pilot: "The airplane's got five exits, two doors in the front on both sides, two doors in the back on both sides -- one you just came through. The fifth exit is the emergency hatch. It's on the ceiling, halfway down.
"Underneath all your seats you can feel pouches. They've got inflatable life-vests in all those. And the safety card explaining this is in the folder in the seat pouch ahead of you."
Could you escape from a crashed float plane, especially one flipped over in water, based on that briefing?
No explanation of how to operate the handles on the doors or open the ceiling hatch, no demonstration on how to put on and inflate the life-vest, no caution against inflating i-t inside the aircraft, and cer tainly no instruction on how to create a mental road map on how to exit should you become submerged in water.
The Sun also dropped into the Harbour Air office on the Burrard Inlet waterfront and found no evidence of a safety brochure to explain passenger egress during a plane crash in water. The pamphlet can be viewed on Harbour Air's web-site under aircraft fleet.
"Float plane brochure?" the check-in clerk repeated. "We haven't anything like that, sorry."
Eley said the usefulness of wearing life-jackets during flight remains debatable.
"The bulk of the life-jacket may impede someone's egress," he said. "What is the right answer? There's not a lot of research that says. That's part of the challenge we have."
I-n contrast to Eley's com ments, a Transport Canada aviation safety letter issued last April states: "For extended over-water flights, consider wearing your life-jacket."
It also states that if you are about to ditch, "Put on your life-jacket, but DO NOT INFLATE IT."
The pamphlet, Seaplanes: a p-assenger's guide, also sug gests "if time permits, put on" your life vest.
"Having it on before you take off, there's actually less risk of you accidentally blowing it up than if you were trying to put i-t on in a panic," asserted Year wood, noting experience shows that passengers hardly ever grab the life vest, much less put it on, in a crash on water.

Every time I go to the doctor I am SHOCKED at how much better healthcare is in Portugal compared to the USA. SHOCKED. The healthcare prices in Portugal are significantly lower. I have not tested out the public healthcare system in Portugal and my Portuguese friends say that it has plenty of problems. This post is about Portuguese healthcare with private insurance. If you need it, I have written an entire blog post on how to get health insurance in Portugal. Antonio and I chose Medis and are very happy with them a year into our membership. Secondo me, Medis offers the best private health insurance in Portugal. But let's get back to the issue at hand, healthcare prices in Portugal. Here are a few examples of how much we have paid for different types of medical procedures in Portugal with our Private health insurance.

All in all, I am thrilled to have moved to Lisbon. Not just because the Healthcare Prices in Portugal are ridiculously low when compared to those in the USA, the quality of healthcare in Portugal is excellent. In the US, we'd get to the doctor's office and wait for hours in the waiting room, then walk into the exam room and wait what seemed like eternities for the doctor to come in. Then he/she would be in and out in less than 10 minuti. Our experience here is completely different. The most I have waited is 20 minuti, and when I walk in the doctor is already in there. Our GP takes his time and truly spends the time to figure out what is wrong. He is not quick to offer prescriptions but will do so when it is necessary.
Besides the incredible quality of care in Portugal, we're also thrilled at the quality of life here. Our rent is 1/4 the price of what we paid in NYC, we are just 30 minutes from pristine beaches, and there is seafood pretty much everywhere I turn. The people here are quite nice (although reserved) and there is certainly a lot less racism in Portugal than there is in the US (something that as people who are of Latin descent and pigmented matters incredibly). Certamente, il prices of things in Lisbon are significantly cheaper than NYC, but prices are increasing fast, so if you are planning to relocate, I suggest you do your research on the different types of visas and that you do it soon.
Have questions about the price of healthcare in Portugal or anything else before you move, then leave your question in the comments below.

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Sergei Prokofiev
The ultimate story of sin and redemption, Prodigal Son's powerful message, expressive score, and dramatic movement make it eternally impactful.
Serge Diaghilev, who founded Ballets Russes in 1911, was a ballet and opera impresario who brought together the best of new music, dance, and visual art in his productions. George Balanchine was hired by Diaghilev in 1924 and created several ballets before the company disbanded in 1929, after Diaghilev's sudden death.
Prodigal Son was the last of Balanchine's works for Ballets Russes; it premiered in 1929, opening what was to be the company's final Paris season. Diaghilev commissioned Sergei Prokofiev to write the score and Georges Rouault to design the Fauvist sets and costumes. The ballet's story comes from the biblical parable, but Boris Kochno added much dramatic material and, to emphasize the themes of sin and redemption, ended the story with the Prodigal's return home.
Prodigal Son was enthusiastically received by both audience and critics and was one of Balanchine's first ballets to achieve an international reputation. Its eternal themes, expressive score, and abstract but thoroughly dramatic movement make it as modern, exciting, and powerful today as it was in 1929.

In the judgment of Ofellus, a sordid way of living will differ widely from frugal simplicity. For it is to no purpose for you to shun that vice [of luxury]; if you perversely fly to the contrary extreme. Avidienus, to whom the nickname of Dog is applied with propriety, eats olives of five years old, and wild cornels, and can not bear to rack off his wine unless it be turned sour, and the smell of his oil you can not endure: which (though clothed in white he celebrates the wedding festival,1 his birth-day, or any other festal days) he pours out himself by little and little from a horn cruet, that holds two pounds, upon his cabbage, [but at the same time] is lavish enough of his old vinegar. What manner of living therefore shall the wise man put in practice, and which of these examples shall he copy? On one side the wolf presses on, and the dog on the other, as the saying is. A person will be accounted decent, if he offends not by sordidness, and is not despicable through either extreme of conduct. Such a man will not, after the example of old Albutius, be savage while he assigns to his servants their respective offices; nor, like simple Naevius, will he offer greasy water to his company: for this too is a great fault. Now learn what and how great benefits a temperate diet will bring along with it. In the first place, you will enjoy good health; for you may believe how detrimental a diversity of things is to any man, when you recollect that sort of food, which by its simplicity sat so well upon your stomach some time ago. But, when you have once mixed boiled and roast together, thrushes and shell-fish; the sweet juices will turn to bile, and the thick phlegm will bring a jarring upon the stomach. Do not you see, how pale each guest rises from a perplexing variety of dishes at an entertainment. Beside this, the body, overloaded with the debauch of yesterday, depresses the mind along with it, and dashes to the earth that portion of the divine spirit.2 Another man, as soon as he has taken a quick repast, and rendered up his limbs to repose, rises vigorous to the duties of his calling. However, he may sometimes have recourse to better cheer; whether the returning year shall bring on a festival, or if he have a mind to refresh his impaired body; and when years shall approach, and feeble age require to be used more tenderly. But as for you, if a troublesome habit of body, or creeping old age, should come upon you, what addition can be made to that soft indulgence, which you, now in youth and in health, anticipate?
1 "Repotia" was a festival the day after the nuptials, when they drank and ate whatever remained of yesterday's entertainment, quia iterum potaretur. The construction is remarkable, "alios dierum festos", for alios qui ex diebus festi sunt. "Albatus", white, was usually the color of the Roman robe even at funeral feasts. "Ipse" is a circumstance that strongly marks the avarice of Avidienus. Afraid that his guests or his servants should be too profuse of his oil, he pours it himself. The poet tells us, his bottle was of two pounds weight, as if it were his whole store, although he was extremely rich; and the vessel was of horn, that it might last a long time. All these particulars are in character.
2 "Divinae particulam aurae." To raise the nobleness of the mind, Horace has borrowed the language of Plato; who says, that it is a portion of the universal soul of the world, that is, of the divinity himself.

U.S. Beach Volleyball Update: NORCECA Begins

USAV Facebook - @USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 21, 2013) – Four U.S. beach volleyball teams will get the 2013 international season started on March 22-24 at the NORCECA Beach Circuit event on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman on the Cayman Islands.
| Todd Rogers passes the ball during the 2012 Olympic Games
in London.
The biggest name in the event will be 2008 Olympic gold medalist Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) who will be making his competitive debut with new partner Ryan Doherty (Toms River, N.J.). Joining Doherty and Rogers in the men's bracket will be the U.S. team of Casey Jennings (Las Vegas, Nev.) and Stafford Slick (Andover, Minn.).
Puerto Ricans Puerto Ricans Roberto Rodriguez and Eric Haddock, who won the Cayman Islands tournament in 2012, are slated to return.
On the women's side, the U.S. team of Jenny Kropp (Grand Island, Neb.) and Whitney Pavlik (Laguna Beach, Calif.) is scheduled to compete along with Jennifer Fopma (Bellflower, Calif.) and Brooke Sweat (Fort Myers, Fla.).
With backing from the Carolina Region of USA Volleyball, beach volleyball enthusiasts in North Carolina have begun efforts to get the sport established in high schools across the state.
With backing from Carolina Region and volleyball coaches, administrators, and parents at several schools, a North Carolina High School Sand Volleyball Association – NCHSSVA (www.nchssva.appspot.com) was formed in late 2012 as a non-profit.
The goal is to get the sport sanctioned by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) in the next few years. Approximately 25 percent of member schools must show interest and participation in a sport prior to becoming sanctioned.
The first high school sand volleyball competition in North Carolina was held March 15-16. Charter schools for 2013 inaugural season have been broken into two regions: the Triangle Area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) includes Apex, Carrboro, Middle Creek, Athens Drive, Broughton, Cardinal Gibbons, Ravenscroft, and St. David's. The New Bern (eastern North Carolina) includes the Epiphany School.
"Interest going into this first season has exceeded all expectations," said Mark Nalevanko, Carolina Region beach director and NCHSSVA president. "We're already looking ahead to next year where we could easily see a doubling or tripling of participating schools across North Carolina.
"The popularity of junior beach volleyball in North Carolina has exploded in recent years and there's no reason it won't continue, especially given the increasing opportunities with the sport as an emerging sport in the NCAA."
With backing from USA Volleyball's Arizona Region, the Arizona Interscholastic Association sanctioned sand volleyball as a high school sport in 2011. Though it is not sanctioned, beach volleyball is a club sport at many California high schools.

bludlow necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 54 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Zone Positive is a new ecommunity for coaches (life coaches, executive coaches etc.). This is a centralized place for them to network, take courses, get business building tools and publish their works. In Phase 2 will add a consumer site enabling people to get advice from coaches, find and book a coach for remote sessions ( providing revenue-generated client referrals for the coaches). Our site is grounded in the teachings of positive psychology, the science of what goes right in life (thus, the use of the word positive in our name). We just completed a logo contest with 99designs (see wireframe for winning logo) - we're now ready for website design.
Zone Positive
This is a brief wireframe for the sitethat we have put together as a guide: http://www.box.net/shared/nlrp3vi4zm
Logo PSD files at: http://www.box.net/shared/ktbt0llb6y
We want a design that's contemporary,professional, distinctive and easy on the eye. We want a design that the usersees and thinks: "I belong here—thissite offers me connections that will help me in my life and business". The siteshould be clear and easy to use. Thesite should have a fixed width no greater than 1000px. We expect a need for vertical scrolling, butwould like to see important content/functionality above the fold. The layout should be consistent and flexible.
- We want two PSD or fireworks files delivered without any of the images layersflattened. It will be our job to put these into XHTML and apply JS and CSS asneeded. - Colors should be complementary to logo palate.- From the pdf containing the site wireframe, thefollowing 3 pages need designs:-- Coaches HomePage: the coaches homepage willhighlight several of the main features and benefits we are offering coaches: find clients (this is a listing and adsection for coaches participating in our advertising program—this is howconsumers find and book a coach), coachingtools that will help them in theirbusiness (for example positive interventions that can be used with clients), networking with other coaches, personal development (take courses inpositive psychology and get certified as a practitioner), and the publishing corner (post articles andwhite papers that you have written). Coaches will need to register with our site and provide profile information to have fullaccess to these features. In phase 2,clients will have an opportunity to rate coaches based on their sessions withthe coach.
-- CoachesTools Page ( a list of Positive Interventions – a crowd sourcing page wherecoaches can get, use, comment on, rate and create new interventions (like anexercise that can help someone deal with a challenge in their life or job).
-- ConsumerHome Page: while this is a phase 2 effort, we'd like to see the designconcept now. We envision a teaser questionnaire on the consumerhome page—a simple 5 question life satisfaction survey to engage them and pullthem into the site with curiosity. Fromhere, they can "dig deeper" (whichtakes them to the more comprehensive survey—and other questionnaires that willgive them insight into their life, their challenges, where to focus theirefforts and why they might need a coach to help them along the way), "get advice" (which allows them to aska question/get advice – coaches then respond to posted questions—ala Yahoo!Ask.),as well as "find a coach" (this is alisting of all participating coaches – with profile, area of specialization,rates etc. provided.).
- Sites we like: Actually, we likethe simplicity of the 99 design website. We much prefer an uncluttered space which is easy to grasp, navigate and doesn't overwhelm thevisitor.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/w…nstructive, easy to follow (but ours should be a little more professional andsophisticated)
http://www.adready.com/ also clean (although a little boring- wouldlike ours to be more engaging).
http://www.creative-va.com/ also clean. Has some light elements at bottom.
- We don't want a site that requiresflash for any part of it to function. This is going to be put together in validXHTML and CSS to make it as accessible, usable and lightweight as possible.
- We don't want the use of colors that are too strongor garish
- We don't want a cluttered look—prefer clean, airy,inviting.

Now, I've noticed a lot of people, new people, coming into the forum. We get that. It's nice, sometimes, to pick up a few new RPers, see a few new faces, get an influx of new people, and sometimes, they're quality writers and RPers. Yay for us!
However, what I do NOT wish to see is the integrity of the RPing community here at RPGWW being flushed down some cosmic toilet as a result of a large number of incoming people who do not share the vision that RPGWW is a representation of. I have been here since August--been staff since roughly December--and continue to RP, both in chat and on board, as I did before. Our RPers and all members of our community have contributed to the creation of our RP world, the organization and categorization of said RP world, and the development and advancement of the RP world. I do not wish to see that degnerate or be lost as a result of new people who misunderstand our aims.
Here, we are devoted to QUALITY RPing and writing. The difference between quality RPing and writing and subpar quality RPing and writing lies in many factors:
1. Dedication to the RP itself, any given RP, and preserving said RP.
2. The use of correct spelling, grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and diction.
3. The understanding that an RP is not a thing to be created and discarded.
4. The understanding that RPs are not necessarily wars, nor are they haphazard battles. Combat is neither a requirement, nor an encouraged part, of any RP. It is instead optional and should be tempered to the audience.
5. Staying in character, or IC, to the fullest extent, and being careful to remain so. OOCing, or misroleplaying, a character, is not appreciated. Roleplaying is called "roleplaying" for a reason.
6. The life of an RP is a valuable, fragile, and precious thing. Creating and discarding an RP is not acceptable--an RP is a committment. RPs require time, planning, and patience.
These are the fundamentals of RPing endorsed here at RPGWW. This is not Rhydin, Ayenee, a DBZ RP board, or anything of that nature. Higher standards and expectations are presented here. Everything that happens within these forum boundaries has a purpose--and everything that does not is to be discarded. Purposeless things belong in the spam forum.
I am deeply disturbed, in particular, by the direction some of the new threads have turned themselves--outsiders who are, perhaps, used to the style of RP which basically consists of "fight, duel, war, be fair or I kick you out." This is not roleplaying. This is combat, and combat alone does not constitute TRUE roleplaying. Roleplaying is about taking a character, or group of characters, and writing a story. Their story. It is dramatic, it is moving, and ideally, it should have depth and purpose, clarity and direction, and meaning to its existence. THIS is the mission statement of RPGWW. Creating an RP is an act which should not be taken lightly.
Thusly, I have decided to create an "RP Graveyard" section of the forum, and it is to serve as an example to all who visit and observe these forums. It is less a location to discard dead RPs--rather, it serves the pointed purpose of telling any and all "please, don't do this. This isn't how it's done."
If anyone has anything to add on this subject, please add it.
If not, please do not.
My deepest apologies if I have offended anyone. I intend to post this in all three of the RP related forums, mainly since we lack CSC Gold and cannot make the topic sticky, and since the purpose of its existence is to be seen. By everyone.
~Archmage, RP Webmaster and Admin

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: André Blush California Pink Champagne

Sorry to have missed you guys last week. I was caught up in a celebration that has me in the mood to talk about sparkling wine—André Blush California Pink Champagne, to be specific. We'll get to that in a couple paragraphs. First let's remind ourselves of my good fortune.
I've heard stories of men who are intimidated by smarter, more successful, better-looking women. I'm not certain these men actually exist, but if they do, they are idiots. My girlfriend—Bottom Shelf research coordinator Emily—is my superior in nearly all quantifiable fields. She's younger, prettier, healthier, and smarter than I am. I'm a bit handier with tuna melts and Run-DMC lyrics, but otherwise she's the star of our show, and I'm fine with that.
In fact, I prefer being the junior partner. My limitations are fairly well fixed by now. I don't mean that I've given up on self-improvement—just last week I did a push-up and found a new favorite beer—but this late in my game, most of my changes are going to be cosmetic, and Crest doesn't make a neurological White Strip. So my best hope is to glom on to someone who has a few more sparks left in her flint.
Back to the pink André. Emily got her master's in education last Friday. She's going to teach high school science and she's going to be great at it. Watching her walk across the stage to get her fake diploma somewhere around the 11-hour mark of the commencement ceremony filled me with pride and lust and a panicky resolve to trick her into marriage before she gets her PhD. I'm lucky and stupid, but I'm not stupid enough to think I'll luck into marrying a doctor. I need to wrap this up within the next couple of years. Which means I need to get her a lot drunker a lot more often.
Enter the André.
Emily likes pink things and I like things that cost $5.99, so after we'd soaked her parents for yet another solid and liquid lunch, we sent them back to civilization, picked up some André Blush, and took the party back to our soon-to-be-abandoned apartment in Amherst. We also got pizza. Extravagant, I know, but when you're in love with a high achieving woman, you do what you must to keep up. I'll probably spring for Schramsberg and Indian food when she gets her first teacher of the year award (provided it comes with a cash bonus).
I learned two very surprising things that night: A) Some people think two slices is sufficient, even when celebrating a major milestone, and B) André Blush is a very fine bottom shelf sparkling wine.
When Emily and I started dating, she would take the bus to visit me in New York most Fridays. I really liked her and appreciated that she did 90 percent of the traveling, so I tried to be an accommodating host. This meant applying every lesson I'd learned about women: They like Champagne and yogurt, and they don't like the Doors. I adjusted my refrigerator and my iTunes accordingly, we had a great baseball season, and then I quit my job and moved to Amherst. The "quit my job" part had the expected effect on my Champagne budget and the "moved to Amherst" part compounded the problem by taking me 150 miles away from the suspiciously good Champagne specials at Warehouse Wine and Spirits. I realize the bottles are thick, but I'll still never understand how a summer's worth of Piper-Heidsieck survived the fall from the truck.
In Amherst, our sparkling wine consumption dropped off dramatically. This coincided with the launch of the Bottom Shelf, which I believe Emily has already mentioned to Ed but which I swear is unrelated. Grad students get paid even less than rotgut-writers, and we no longer had happy Friday reunions to celebrate, so we just fell out of the Champagne habit. We went on a couple of prosecco benders, but I don't really care for it, so we mostly stuck to the flat stuff.
But when last week's special occasion came calling, André Blush really delivered. I don't know how it gets away with calling itself "California Champagne," but that's none of my business. All I care about is that it costs $5.99, is my favorite lady's favorite color, tastes like nothing much and therefore nothing bad, and keeps on bubbling for at least seven minutes after you pour a pint.
It's too sweet, but much less so than I'd feared, and it has a faintly grapey character that defied my eyes' watermelon expectations. Emily "thought it would taste Boonesier." I'm glad she meant that as a compliment, because there's going to be a lot more André Blush in her very bright future.
