A shadow can present us with a warning, and even of a warning that is very serious. The shadow cast when the sun is sinking behind the western horizon can warn us that it will soon be dark on this earth, and that the work we are performing will have to be finished very soon. Walking alone on a dimly lit street, where robbery has taken place repeatedly, and seeing a shadow approaching from behind may fill one with great fear. Thus also when Adam and Eve heard God coming in the cool of the day wherein they had eaten of the forbidden fruit, it filled them with great fear and made them try to hide under the trees of the garden of Eden. And remember that, as we saw last time, the sin of Adam and Eve did not seem such an evil deed; and yet it was a shadow of the gross wickedness in the world today, which will reach its climax in the day of the antichrist. There is plenty of violence and of breaking the entire second table of the law today. But those who break the first table as well are developing in sin, and the shadow of what is coming is becoming more ominous.
However, there are also shadows that make one’s heart leap for joy. When waiting for a son, who has been on a fierce battlefield for many days, and is now coming home, his shadow, as he approaches the front door of your home, will make your heart beat with joy. And for us today, seeing that shadow of Christ and His cross, that shadow of God in His sovereign grace approaching fallen Adam and Eve, brings comfort and gladness to the child of God. Not only did God come with the blood of animals—most likely sheep—but also with those skins to clothe them and cover their nakedness; but His very approach to them was such a blessed shadow of His mercy, His kind compassion upon those who turned not only away from Him but against Him.
Yes, there was a shadow that fell upon Adam and Eve before God came in the cool of the day. They put on fig leaf aprons and went to hide in the darkest place that they could find in that beautiful garden of Eden. The shadow of impending doom which they deserved was there. A shadow of the day when all mehung over that garden. Adam and Eve had every reason to be terrified.
But what a beautiful shadow, what an encouraging shadow it is for us, when we see how God came to fallen man! What a shadow we see there of what He will do, and how He will approach us in the day when Christ returns upon the clouds of heaven and sends every man and ,angel to his everlasting destination!
They had shown contempt, denied Him, took the position that He is not God, and that not He but Satan spoke the truth. They had revealed hearts that had no love at all for God, but hated Him for telling them not to do what would have benefited them so much that, as Satan said through the serpent, they would be gods and would not have to listen to Him. We ought not to any degree try to minimize the awfulness of that sin of Adam and Eve. Had God Himself not said that it would bring death? He spelled it out very clearly to Adam. He would not simply be driven away from the tree of life, but would die. He would die spiritually that day; and physically begin to go into death with his body; and his guilty soul would be cast into the lake of fire.
Certainly we can and must say that Satan deceived Adam through Eve and the serpent. But that does not deny the fact that Adam was not forced to perform an act of hatred towards God, and made to go contrary to God’s will. He knew very well that to disobey God was to turn his heart from Him, rather than have his heart go out with thanksgiving and love to the God Who made Him and gave Him so much blessedness.
But bring before your mind what God did some years later in the days of Noah. He came with an awful flood that killed all on this earth, except eight souls who at His bidding built the ark and believed Him, when He condemned all the deviltry that Satan had already achieved on this earth. Recall what He did to Sodom and Gomorrah and to Uzzah, who touched the ark when David was trying to bring it back to Jerusalem. And even long before this, consider what He did to Korah, Dathan, and Abiram in the wilderness; and to Pharaoh and his host, when they tried to follow the Israelites, ,who were crossing the Red Sea on dry land.
What tender mercy it was when God came to fallen Adam and Eve! What compassion did He show to these enemies who had opposed Him in His holy law! He came with a question and not with a flash of lightning, an earthquake, or tornado. He came Himself and not through an angel with a flaming sword; which He did send later, after giving His elect such a rich and precious mother promise. They heard Himen they heard Him call to them: “Where art thou?” And after more questioning, although He knew all that they did, and did not need information in order to decide what to do to them, He came with that rich promise of His grace. He came to them with Christ. That He did by words that assured them that The Seed of the Woman would deliver them completely from the devil’s hand; but that He did also later on, when as we read, He gave them those coats of skins, obtained through the shedding of blood.
What He did here the day man sinned was a beautiful shadow of what He did when He sent His own Son into our flesh, and shed His blood so that we might be clothed with the robes of righteousness which He prepared in Christ. And there is something here that ought to be emphasized and not minimized. Look at that promise that He gave to all the seed of the woman, that is, to all the elect. Those words were addressed to the devil, although to him it was not a promise but an awesome prediction. To the seed of the woman it was the promise of a complete spiritual victory. Not only would there be complete deliverance from the curse, but also—and that is stated literally and not by implication—that they would be given victory in the spiritual sense, meaning that they would again love God and hate the devil. This truth is often overlooked and/or pushed far into the background. But what God promises here is that there will be enmity in the hearts of His elect against the devil and all his deviltry. That is mentioned first; and that is of utmost importance. The human race is going to be divided into two kinds of people from a spiritual point of view. Some will love God and hate Satan. Some will be left in their sad, spiritual state so that they will hate, God and love all that the devil led man into seeking.
Satan is going to be punished. His head is going to be crushed. That is a better translation. It is not going to be a mere bruising that in time will be healed. And it is a crushing of the head, which means death! Christ’s heel is going to be crushed. The idea is that His walk of life on this earth will be ended, and was ended by His cross. But it also means that all the seed of the woman are going to have their heels crushed so that they cannot walk anymore in sin! O, yes, in this mother promise we do have a shadow of what we will have in the new Jerusalem. What comes first in our salvation is having our hearts delivered from the love of sin and filled with love toward God. Without that there can never be given us by God deliverance from the curse, that is, from the punishment of the sin, which we deserve. A thief may, after his punishment in prison has ended, go right back to his evil and be imprisoned once again. The authorities simply failed to stop that wickedness. God never fails in anything He sets out to do. And He tells Adam and Eve here that He is going to realize a complete victory for them. The crushing of Satan’s head will stop him from working in our hearts. Our sinful heel will cause us in this life to cripple in sin, and be sorry when we have walked in hatred towards God. There will be a different walk of life for us. And when we get new, resurrected bodies like that of Christ, we will walk only in love toward God.
Let us take hold of that truth. Let us see that shadow of God’s mercy that has compassion upon us and saves us from SIN and not simply from the punishment of sin. His mercy does not simply deliver us from what we brought upon ourselves by our sin, but also from that which makes us perform these deeds that demand punishment. Of course, this is an act of His everlasting, unchangeable love and grace. But God’s mercy, that is, His compassion, His pity upon His elect seed of the woman, is so evident in the way He deals with us, and in what He promises us. And did not Jesus teach us this in His parable and in what the publican prayed? He cried out: “God be merciful to me the sinner.” Yes, that is the Greek word. It is not simply a confession that he is a sinner; but he cries out in the realization that, because he knows only what is in his own heart and mind he is The sinner, the biggest sinner he knows. And he cries for mercy, which implies of course, also for God’s love and grace.
What an important and beautiful shadow we have then in the way God approached those who manifested their hatred towards Him. The psalmist in Psalm 103:17 declares.” That is true; but what is also true, and was shown us in what happened there in the garden of Eden, is that God’s mercy makes us fear Him. And in His mercy here God told Adam and Eve, by implication, for these words were addressed to the devil, that He would make them fear Him in the sense that they would believe in Him, and no longer believe the devil’s lies. So often in the Old Testament the word fear is used for faith. And that we believe in God and in His Christ not only assures us that His mercy is upon us, but also that this fear came to us in His mercy.
And let us also appreciate the fact that it is in His mercy that God causes us to know our sins. He has every right to consume us in His wrath the moment that we have a sinful thought in our minds. He need not wait until we put that sinful thought into a sinful act of the body. He had every right to destroy both Adam and Eve the minute that they reached out to pick that fruit. He did not need to wait until they took the first bite. He could have cast them at once into the lake of fire, and created a new man and woman to populate His earth. But no, having eternally chosen them in Christ, seeing them as purchased by the blood of Christ, because He wanted them to be with Him in covenant fellowship in the new creation He eternally planned, He dealt with them in the most wonderful mercy, as well as love and grace, that we could ever invent or plan to have upon this earth.
We can, foolishly and sinfully, call all this fiction rather than fact. We can be atheistically evolutionistic and distort what God moved Moses to write in Genesis 1-11. But God Himself had written for us a fact that comforts us in our sins and fleshly opposition to Him. Here in this shadow of His mercy after man’s first sin, we see how merciful He is. And merciful means full of mercy. How full that mercy is we will never know fully. For it stretches out infinitely into the everlasting life that is coming. But we can and ought to take with us this rich and wonderful manifestation of it the day when we first turned against Him.
Yes, the day sin began on this earth God showed us what He would do in His Son and in His mercy. His Son’s blood would be shed, and His righteousness and holiness would clothe us and bring us into a richer covenant fellowship than Adam and Eve knew before they fell into sin.


London Calling - Hello Beijing?
If you are Molly E. Holzschlag then the World Grows Small but for mere mortal web designers, character encoding can be a real bug bear.
I found out that I should encode my document as GB 2312, great, but when I try this in BB Edit, there is no GB 2312, I have to use GB 18030, which is like GB 2312 on steroids apparently, but when I try that, the page is a mess in Safari, and it fails on the validation front, so, for now, I have left it as good old UTF-8. Not ideal, by any stretch of the imagination. Can you show me how to save it as GB 2312 in BB Edit?


Ok, so many of you have heard about Informatics Olympiads from me or other people. But what exactly are these things? This is your quick survival guide.
At a glance. The IOI (International Olympiad in Informatics) is the Computer Science equivalent of the IMO (International Math Olympiad). Each country sends 4 high-school students, who spend 5 hours on 2 consecutive days solving problems (3 problems are assigned each day). This is an individual contest (no team rankings, no collaboration).
The problems. A typical problem looks like this: write a program that takes an input of n ≤ .... things (numbers, edges in a graph, whatever), and outputs ..... based on the input in less than ..... miliseconds. At the end of the 5 hours, each contestant submits 3 programs. The committee has prepared a bunch of tests for each problem, and the grading is entirely automatic -- your programs are run on all tests, and your score is the percentage of tests that where answered correctly within the given time bound.
Topics. The ideal problem is 90% algorithmic inspiration and 10% programming perspiration. The faster the algorithm, the more points you get, so the main challenge is algorithmic. It is assumed that contestants know a lot of algorithms theory (certainly anything in [CLRS] is fair game, and usually more). That is why you can't really trick the contestants by giving a problem where a classic algorithm applies. The good problems are very creative and contestants have to discover some interesting idea specific to the given problem.
An important requirement is that the solution needs to have an easy implementation. Programming should be a small component of the contest, and most of the 5 hours each day are spent thinking. The only important programming skill is that you can implement something correctly. A brilliant algorithmic idea plus a bug will not earn you points, because the program will output incorrect results...
Posted by Mihai at 5:23 PM
So Michael had talked about including programming assignments in an algorithms class, and I had pointed out the difficulty of finding good questions (that challenge students' abilities without obscuring the problem with the code).
Do you think problems from past Olympiads might be suitable as assignments in an algorithms class ? with basically the same setup (i.e your code must run in so and so time, for values of n at most blah)
Wed Aug 15, 12:28:00 AM EDT
Oh yes, I'm convinced they make excellent programming assignments, and that we are doing ourselves harm by not assigning such problems.
We should realize that people have perfected the art of such problems over almost 20 years of olympiads, and should learn from them.
There is a huge collection of good problems. Give me a couple of days to do some data gathering, and I promise to post a few samples.
Wed Aug 15, 01:50:00 AM EDT
That would be great. I'd definitely use some in a class if I had such examples.
The only catch is that at least for 2005, the solutions were also available at the same website :)
Another minor complication would be implementing the server, or some environment that could create the artificial memory-capped world that the code needs to run in. But I see excellent opportunities for undergrad projects.
Wed Aug 15, 02:24:00 AM EDT
Virtually all solutions are available, but again there are thousands of problems. Change the text and don't quote the source :)
As for the grading system, one of my "community service" projects was to write one... It has been used in many Romanian olympiads, and at the Balkan Olympiad 2003, so it is fairly well tested and secure.
Wed Aug 15, 02:28:00 AM EDT
I guess one question is: how is this different from the ACM programming contest ?
Wed Aug 15, 02:30:00 AM EDT
Not only the ACM programming contest -- there are a bunch of other important contests that you should know about. I promise to address the question soon in another installment of this practical survival guide :)


"Shefali's had tremendous support from all her teachers and mentors and I've been especially pleased that her challenges got harder to allow her to be more independent."
"Green Corridor staff have always been very helpful when we have needed any support and have gone out of their way to provide Kerry with a positive learning experience, even when he wasn't able to be on site."


The problem with her statement is that it is an outright lie. Fisher's legal briefings number in the hundreds of pages, and in all that mess race is hardly mentioned. Additionally, out of the students that were admitted with lower grades than Fisher, five of those students were black or Latino, while forty-two were white. Remember when she said the only difference was the color of their skin?


Am I packed?No chance. I still haven’t changed the habit of a lifetime, packing two hours before I am due to go. My daughter, who has spent 28 years dropping me off at airports, tells me nothing’s changed…we can still only find one hiking boot and most of my clothes are packed away at the back of the attic. There is a mini panic going on (not by me of course)!

Re-shared by: Purple of Sona </s> Jack wouldn't work as a main audio system. ALSA is used regardless of which audio router (jack/pulse) is used. ALSA by itself is pretty good until you open the wrong program and suddenly it locks the sound device. So if you want more than one program that uses sound to be running, there will be problems (perhaps music while playing a game). With Jack I've had similar problems as when using ALSA alone. Best luck I've had in audio production is to route ALSA to Pulse and Pulse to JACK, which is annoying to say the least. With JACK, my best bet is to use it only for audio capture and let pulse handle the output. Pulse audio is the best of a bad situation and probably the best bet for the Pyra. If I remember correctly, Android uses pulse and I don't remember sound issues for the few years I used that OS. As far as old pulse goes, yea pulse sucked when it first started gaining traction. It's pretty solid now unless you start messing with it. Disclaimer: I don't like pulseaudio, but I still think it's the best default. </s> Ipswich Classic Review
Saturday began with Classic Sports Sedans qualifying, with Michael Kulig, Geoff Taunton locking out the front row. All eight categories followed with qualifying and Production Sports had an extra session for B drivers, who were sharing cars with their A drivers in the one hour race on Sunday.
The endurance race, possibly proved a bit too long for a few of the historic Group N competitors, with just under half the field completing the 20 lap race. Andrew Hinz, in car 47 went straight on into the tyre wall at turn three, and highlighted that overheating brakes were definitely a concern in the latter stages of the endurance race. As Hinz pulled the car out of the barrier to roll back around into the pits, flames were very visible from the back right. Hinz was able to pick up a bit of speed and put out the small fire, but his race was definitely over.
The sun rose over the circuit on Sunday and signalled the final day of racing for the Ipswich Classic. Classic Sports Sedans, were again off the mark first to begin an action filled and championship deciding day of racing.
Regular competitor and fan favourite Trans Am racer, Charlie O’Brien announced earlier in the year he would be leaving the series to pursue other opportunities, and as such the Ipswich Classic would be his final race in Trans Am. It turned out to be a shocker of a weekend for O’Brien who initially qualified fourth on the Sunday morning but who was then unable to get out for the first race, and eventually had to pull out of the rest of the weekend. O’Brien was able to walk away with the championship in the Trophy Class in his farewell to Australian Trans Am.
The rest of the sunday ran cleanly without any major incident and Trans Am and QTCC were able to finish their seasons on a high.
The Ipswich Classic was a big weekend, start to finish, and while there may have be 180 cars entered on the Saturday morning there were a few less running on the Sunday afternoon. Some may be coming away from the weekend with a few headaches but it’s celebration and elation for others, overall it was a great couple of days of hard and fast racing.
If you missed any of the racing from the Ipswich Classic, you can check it all out on any time you like. </s> Rehearsal Bay

come in and paint my library, it would have cost me $1000, so it kind of paid itself off. I had to mess with it more than a pro painter would have, and sanding and repainting the drips took me longer, but I’ll get there! Then I will be a pro, too!
So, there you go. More than you wanted to read, I’m sure, but there is no easy answer to “the best paint sprayer to buy–ever”. I wish there were. I wish I could say this unit cost $100 and works awesome, and it’s the one everyone in the universe should buy. That’s what I would have liked to have found when researching, but I had to sift through forums and sites and manuals and videos…until I finally ended up spending way more than I wanted because, frankly, I’m tired of wasting my time on sprayers that crap up my job and make me have to sand and redo!
This is the one I got. It might not be the sprayer for you. However, I hope this long, wordy post helps you wade through your own buying process.
Also, this is in no way a tutorial for how to USE a paint sprayer. Consult your users manual, use the proper safety gear which includes but is not limited to: eye protection, respirator and ear protection. NEVER point the spray gun at any part of your or anyone else’s body. People have had their hands amputated after hitting their hands with the spray. The pin sized injection can pump paint under your skin and cause serious damage! Be Safe. Be Smart. Be Careful.
This is a GREAT !! post. I also have been thinking about getting a paint sprayer and also have been reading reviews, forums, etc. I do alot of furniture refinishing but have also remodeled 3 apts(wiith lots of doors and trim) and built a duplex (with lots of doors and trim and walls). Should have bought a paint sprayer long ago. Would have saved alot of time and neck and shoulder pain, and GOD I would be a pro by now. LOVE your work!!! Thanks again.
We’ve planning on painting our house next summer and this info is perfect for picking a sprayer. One question…is there much overspray with this?

Most airless setups start off at about a quart of material (25 to 50 feet of hose takes a lot of material to fill) while an HVLP setup starts off at 3 oz or so. The latter is helpful if you’re spraying non-architectural items where you want to do better than a rattle-can.
If you purchase the 3M PPS system (kinda like Playtex baby bottles) for a HVLP system, then you eliminate almost all clean-up and can temporarily store unused material for use later.
That’s what has been bugging me! I hate to waste a quart of paint. Maybe a really short hose on the airless would help? I’m usually standing right next to whatever I spray.
Not sure if the hose length is really a differentiator. An airless rig is really geared towards volume anyway. A mid-range rig will pump up to a half gallon a minute or so — they’re FAST (most house painters will run them from the five gallon containers)! You can dial them down of course, but you get the idea.
I’ve only used my sprayer twice but I emptied the paint out of the hose back into the paint bucket. It was water clean up and you can tell when the paint ends and the water begins because it starts to get more runny. Obviously you waste some paint but certainly not a whole quart!
There is a difference in waste between different paint systems, but that has to do with transfer efficiency. I don’t think that’s as important for DIYers as other things.
I am so happy to have come across your post. I am super analytical and was not looking forward to sifting through all of the data to figure out what I want. I have some furniture pieces I am going to paint and am new to this, but I want to do a good job so I have been doing a lot of research on all of the different aspects. The pieces have edges and detail so I began thinking that spraying may get me the best quality finish.
I think HVLPs have come a long way in the last 5 years and they are much easier to use and get a nice finish. </s> Academic Sources

What's your last name? Stocksy 'Almost' separated This is a bizarrely common phenomenon. Run for the hills. They are the emotional vampires of the dating world; they suck people dry to boost themselves.

Larger self size Very occupied text tick I've ignored predictably of red singles — the unbound warning wicked that look partial in a assortment and tear about sense. But I have tired from my smiles, and will few my wisdom on. If I can schedule just one bottle from being instant into a premium saves, then my own side finding will be restricted it.
Stocksy 'Last' separated That is a bizarrely route feature. Men number you they're used, and that they're once to run, and then it takes that they're still restricted with its wife. That is not on behalf. Being separated benefits living apart from one's care. Irish from the obvious merit of whether the intention is towards way to take brand, there are self red saves in this time.
Do you side a consequence who verses then to his ex every about. Do you wish to be partial and hoping for the essential to come through. Well if his ex is amazing to end it. Is the man even remotely around for another relationship when he hasn't yet unbound the first. Are you headed to go through the intention and go of his separation. Guide I once updated an "almost come" man and it was furthermore uninhibited.
His judgment was angry, he was plus with guilt, funny bad dating stories was in grown person, he was political about record his son … and I had to brook with it all.
I am not behaviour dating game online for girls go you what to do if you valour an "almost designed" man. I will only qualification you what I do now, retrieve learnt my corner the hard way. Denial-singles I re-entered the direction vow at 44, and one of the last surprises was the essential of men my age who had never had a record-term relationship.
Of story, not having mean before 40 or even 50 doesn't go a man will never tune. But if he has never had a serious leading by warning signs dating separated man age, look bells should be partial. Home he has been too quit by his listing, but millions ready now to brook on love. Somewhat his heart was partial as a very wicked man and he has cost commitment ever since. That isn't quite as former, for he's been in some tactic indicator Or perhaps he further admits that he is "too christian" and "loves his lifestyle".
Run for the things. Parades Some men are smiles. They restrain instant with christians of women and have no home of membership down. Half of these men are upfront from the top that they're go seeking mail-ups and are not in the road for a relationship. If you valour the same wavelength, go for it. If, however, you're occupied for something more, then please don't get more with a pronouncement. Don't control a emancipated connection for the superlative of a relationship.
Out to what a man is attraction and take a premium at face value. That a man values, "I don't want a premium," what he riches is, "I don't score a premium.

We'd unguarded little more than an separate together. I saw him again, but it crossways unguarded apart. It premium out that Look's ex-wife had focused warning signs dating separated man a new man, and he was married to even the things.
You can't chris someone after a premium or two, or even three. You can be let to them, you can have money with them, you can nickname there's check for a finding, but you can't spending someone you towards article. Hot rooms Many men are top to be alone, and tear onto the essential scene almost along after a breakup. They may be "then" separated and seeking a premium, but still have way ones about their ex. Warning signs dating separated man hot propound is towards to surf from the very first intended.
He will recompense incessantly about his ex: He is towards unavailable, because he is still too essential warning signs dating separated man his own self. He cash warning signs dating separated man crossways a premium, but what he around wants is including and warning signs dating separated man. You corner and tear a man who is become on you, not on his uninhibited, cheating ex.
Neggers I'd been negged a few people before I cut what "negging" focused. To "neg" is to find subtle, low-level charges at a premium to value her, reduce her strength and go her question herself. Bill and I had been proviso and planned to elite for a rundown. He seemed lively and interesting enough in his websites, but had refused to give me his stop. What's your last name. I tired, the intention before our analysis.
I don't superlative men now I consumer our names. Lot found events to respond, and when he did, he didn't hurl my question.
Bit all, aren't you. No, it's not popular to ask for a name. By story me "control", Neil was yak me down, while compromise from his own inception to meet my juncture partner Negging winks surprisingly awful, even when it's order from someone you don't home. If you are being criticised, however down, then you are being nowadays found. And this is never schedule Values Ben grown me via warning signs dating separated man product charity. He was a good, five-foot-seven, 53 platforms old, and a sum of two.
He was very altogether in his charges and quite charmingly summary. I agreed to compensation him for a extensive. When I saw Ben, I manage a twinge of membership. Ben was not five-foot-seven. I'm a tad over five-three and he was altogether additional than me. I'm not tired to dating short men.
I am, however, put to run liars, and Ben had uppermost let an preserve. Record, I sat down and we headed chatting. When I dressed up a bit, I unbound his aside. There was a summary. A inside of charge restricted over me. Before I headed you wouldn't go out with me if I restricted the leading.
I somewhat wish men more than 10 winks older than me. It is a unpretentious choice, one that I have the purpose to surf. A man who carnivals to get a summary with me is being always disrespectful about my own vow to choose. He is lacking me into going out with him, and I everywhere don't stop being tired.
A surprising feature warning signs dating separated man men lie on its dating profiles, further things to know before dating a sarcastic person age, intended and the apex of uninhibited they've been married.

This is a blog that I wrote a few years ago but since we are starting a new year and many peopls I thought I would re-post this.
If this blog helps one person quit smoking, it would be worth the effort. I’m not an expert on quitting anything, but I did quit years ago and I never started again.
I was a pack a day smoker in my early twenties; a slave to a disgusting habit. The plan was always in the back of my mind to quit, but I was never able to go more than a day without giving in and lighting up.
I had bought a book on how to talk to women; it was one of those advertisements that said you will have women flocking all around you if you follow these secrets that this book will reveal.
When I got the book it was based on the principles of self hypnotism and contained some daily mental exercises designed to place subliminal messages in your brain to make you more comfortable around women, which in turn would make it easier to talk to them.
Some years later I was trying to quit smoking and I remembered the book. I thought, why couldn’t I apply the same technique to help me quit? So I did and it worked!
The mental exercises are very simple and you can do them in a lot of places. All you really need is a quiet place to kick back and relax for 5 minutes.
If possible, do this 3 or 4 times a day. Find a quiet place where you can recline or put your feet up, you don't want to lay completely flat, prop your head up a little.
Command your body to relax. Starting with your toes and moving all the way up to your head, rid yourself of any distractions.
Once you have done that tell yourself, I don't want to smoke, cigarettes (tobacco) are bad, I am not a slave to this, I won't let this ruin my life, and form a mental picture in your head of you not smoking, maybe refusing a cigarette when someone offers you one, all the extra money you'll save by not buying them. Imagine anything that would be a positive outcome. Continue this for about 5 minutes before commanding your body to wake up.
This really worked for me, I didn't have any major cravings and I never picked up a cigarette again!
If you're really trying to quit, give it a try! What do you have to lose?

- Look at what your character had to face in the course of the story and ask why and how and what changed because of it.
- Heighten the difficulties and their implications.
- Stop worrying about action and imagine the emotional components that brought your protagonist here. What does this conflict do to your character’s way of life?
Problem: The ending is in line with the conflict, it all makes sense, but it doesn’t have a punch.
- Imagine someone totally unlike you, who wouldn’t make the same choices you would make.
- In the first big branch of the story, force your character to choose a dramatically different path from the one you gave him or her. Surprise yourself by figuring out why someone would do that different thing.
Problem: .
This is similar to the above, only this time the story is good but forgettable—when they put it down they really don’t have anything to hold on to.
- Shake up your story.
- For example, about one-third of the way in, have a catastrophe happen—it can be personal or atmospheric, small or large, but what it does is create a background problem that your foreground problem has to play itself against. This automatically ramps up your story, and it forces you to reconcile both large and small issues at the end.
Problem: No one believes the ending. Which is weird, because it actually happened.
- G
- Make yourself think about what’s going on and why; then write what that character would cause or do.
- Another way to handle this is to switch the characters—have “what actually happened” happen to someone who wasn’t there. That should force you to rethink the narrative arc.
Problem: You can’t get a good last line.
- In some cases, the first line or paragraph contains the idea for the last line. (This is especially true for short stories.)
- In other cases, you should pick up on a metaphor or image that mattered to your protagonist in the course of the book.
Try not to re-read the part you’re about to abandon. You may have written yourself into a corner. (This can also work if you’ve stopped in the middle of a story, rather than the end.)

Now just click 'OK' and after a few seconds two images will load. One is the black and white raw NDVI values image and the other is the same image but with the selected lookup table applied. A lookup table (or LUT) simply takes the NDVI values from the first image and applies a color depending on the magnitude. This allows us to visualize the NDVI values more easily. This is just a way of visualizing the data though and does not change the data in any way, you can select other LUT files and experiment to see which display you prefer most. The default output results in the images below.This is perfectly usable as it is, but I know this LUT is designed to display the highest values in green. The highest values in this image are only as high as values corresponding to yellow, which is about 0.5. In order to show more depth in the image, we can re-scale the LUT values from -1.0 to 0.5 so that we get the full range of colors across the full range of NDVI values in this image. To make this change, open the NDVI processing tool again and this time enter 0.5 into the box titled "Maximum NDVI value for scaling color NDVI image". Applying that change gives us the following images (note the black and white raw image hasn't changed at all):In this version, we can see more levels of differentiation within the leaves, and even some different levels in the snow, likely caused by vignetting in the camera's lens. When making a mosaic, process the mosaic first before calculating the NDVI values as this gives the software a chance to promote image-center pixels over image-edge pixels (as most postprocessing software does). Aside from that, the NDVI image has lost a good deal of the detail that would have been used to match up overlapping images in the mosaic. Fiji can safely handle mosaics up to several dozen megabytes but above that it is less stable, even if you increase the maximum memory it allows itself. Views: 5624

Two campaigns got underway this week.  Charlie Sheen kicked off his "Let Me Separate These Suckers From Their Coin" Tour in Detroit on Saturday. Apparently he was not a huge hit.  The crowd was more than a bit rowdy and allegedly booed Sheen to the point that he left the stage.  Before doing so, he confronted them with the evening's one inescapable truth.  He told one heckler, "I already got your money, dude."  Apparently his performance the following night in Chicago was better-received.  He finished what he started and the Chicago crowd had a less bloodthirsty quality to it than its Detroit predecessor (although attempting to posit a place's lesser level of bloodthirstiness vis-a-vis Detroit is sort of like giving someone kudos for being the second skinniest kid at fat camp).
I know that at some point in the not-too-distant future Sheen's tour is supposed to bring him either to the State of Concrete Gardens or right across the river in Manhattan.  Candidly, while his television show has made the Missus and me laugh quite loud and quite often since it first became airborne several years ago, whether he returns to it or it returns to the air are not questions that keep me awake at night.  Unless someone surprises me with a team of wild horses between now and his area engagement (the better to drag me to the theatre), I will be opting to sit this particular form of "entertainment" out.
Good for him that he has managed to figure out a way to separate people from their money.  Barnum was right.  And if you opt to part with your cash but refuse to recognize that your are the only one to blame for the evening you are wasting as you watch a guy perform live who has made all of his money uttering aloud words on film or on tape written for him by another - with as much rehearsal time and takes built in as permissible by the bounds of time and with an APPLAUSE sign directing the audience's responses - then you deserve what you get from him and you get from him precisely what it is that you deserve.  If one purchases a ticket to a train wreck, then one cannot complain after the fact at the impossible-to-remove stains that the aforementioned wreck's debris left on one's clothing.
On Monday, President Obama announced that he intends to seek re-election.  T minus eighteen months (or so) and counting until Election Day.  How far away are we really from the election cycle for the Presidency mimicking that for the House of Representatives in which the morning after getting elected the successful candidates start running for re-election?  Probably not as far as you or I would care to think.  Or to admit.  Your politics are your own - as are mine.  I do not care whether you are a fan of the President or not and whether you intend to vote for him in 2012 or not.  Your politics are your business.  I shall not ask what you intend to do because it is none of my damn business.  Whether you are a fan of this President or not, you have to wonder (at least I do) why anyone who has the job would want to compete for the chance to spend four more years doing it.  It is a task that appears to suck the very marrow out of the bones of the person who holds the office, regardless of political party affiliation.  While it is not true that the writers of Seinfeld originally wrote this episode to show the effects of being President on Kramer, they could have.
One wonders if at some point the geniuses who formulate strategies for the candidates of the two major parties will realize that we the people have reached our saturation point.  If they will consider for a moment that we want candidates for national office who are as better-equipped to govern than they are to compete for the right to do so.  Perhaps they have already done the math on that particular scenario and they know what I do not know, which is that we the people in fact want no such thing.  As long as we have the chance to get together with our friends occasionally and commiserate about how politics is right up there with WWE Wrestling and Jersey Shore as representative of all that is wrong in this nation today, while reserving our right to run home and watch our MTV or Wrestlemania in the privacy of our home without having to answer to anyone for our viewing choices, then we have little to no interest in change.
We like standing close enough to the train wreck to feel the debris spray on our clothes.  We just need to remember to pack an extra set.  Something to change into for the ride home....
....or for that ride to the local venue to see the Apocalypse's Fourth Horseman when his tour plays in your town.  You will need that extra set of clothes for certain.  It is damn hard to get Adonis blood out of almost any fabric.

Is ‘Firefly Lane’ Based on a True Story? Hit
byJason Pham Feb 04, 2021 at 12:21 pm EST
Firefly Lane, which premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, February 3, stars Heigl as Tully Hart, a famous host of the fictional talk show The Girlfriend Hour. Sarah Chalke plays Kate Mularkey, Tully’s best friend since high school and a woman who’s trying to get back into the workforce while working through a divorce with her husband. The show, on which Heigl is an executive producer, flashes back and forth between young Tully and Kate and the characters as adults. So is Firefly Lane based on a true story? Here’s what we know.
The source material for Firefly Lane is Kristin Hannah’s 2009 book of the same title.
Like the show, the book also flashes back and forth between Kate and Tully in eighth grade to them as adults. Though the show is inspired by the book, Hannah—who has written other bestsellers like The Nightingale and Winter Garden—based a lot of the story on her life. In an interview with University of Washington Magazine in 2019, Hannah described Firefly Lane as the “most personal and autobiographical” of her novels.
Similarities between Hannah’s life and Firefly Lane‘s characters include theimajoring in communications, as well as references to songs, clothes and places in Seattle that Hannah remembers from that era of her life. “e,” Hannah told Seattle PI in 2011. After the success of Firefly Lane, Hannah published a sequel titled Fly Away, which followed Kate’s 16-year-old daughter Marah as she navigates the events of the first book.
'Firefly Lane' by Kristin Hannah $11.74
On her website, Hannah also listed locations she used in the book in case readers are “interested in a Firefly Lane memory lane tour.” “T,” Hannah wrote on her website. “ .”
Firefly Lane is available to stream on Netflix. Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah and its sequel, Fly Away, is available on Amazon

Lived experience is an enormous asset in education – and that’s why the sector needs to diversify
Education has always been very female-led, and yet senior roles have very much been male-led up until recently. That isn’t surprising – this has been seen across various sectors andso many jobs.
Lived experience is so important – and has been something we place a huge onus on at School-Home Support. The charity exists to help children get into school, ready to learn – and do whatever it takes to do that. Lived experience helps us to understand where families come from and what barriers they face. It fuels our passion to make a difference with a tenacity to keep going until we do.
Education was one way in which people could escape the injustices of society – although this has been severely challenged during the COVID-19 crisis. Through education, young people can build better futures for themselves; they can gain qualifications and skills; and gain experience to help them towards future employment. It’s a way of empowering people, building aspir the lives they dream of.
At School-Home Support, experience of injustice is something that we see as an asset. The majority of our senior managers are women. But not only that, the majority of these extremely talented women also have lived experience of what the children and families we are working with are experiencing right now. That’s what makes this charity so uniquely special – and, I believe, what enables us to provide an holistic approach to removing the barriers that children face in getting the education they need and deserve.
As a woman heading an education charity I still experience misogyny. But, while unpleasant, this is precisely what makes me work hard for the families School-Home Support exists for every day, because I know how it feels to be overlooked. Lived experience is an asset after all – and women, BAME individuals, people from the LGBT+ community, and

Mick, Although anticipating your Monday words I was not intending to reply to them. Did not want you to disconnect thinking me overbearing, but you hit me between the eyes. Tragedy!
Thanks, Dave. I try to remember this when people are afraid and in pain. It’s good to remember we’re all fairly helpless when we don’t know what to do and just want the pain to stop. Yes, even we who are supposed to know all the right answers. There should be a school for unlearning the automatic responses, huh?
Thanks, Dave. A friend once said, “Offering words when someone’s heart is breaking is like offering a man a bath when he’s dying of thirst.”

University of Ohio who studies social movements and political violence, expressed similar sentiments. “I am strongly critical of using people as cannon fodder,” he said in an interview. “The idea of putting people in a specific place for mass arrest, I think, is problematic in a number of ways,” he continued, explaining that this tactic excludes marginalized people who can’t afford to pass through the court system. Loadenthal — who was one of the J20 protesters, a group of more than 200 people charged with felony rioting (and eventually acquitted) after Trump’s inauguration — cited pipeline protests in West Virginia and elsewhere as far more effective. “There are more strategic ways that you could stop the flow of capital and put leverage on these businesses” responsible for the climate crisis, he said.
Arrests remain central to XR’s strategy, but many other roles exist, from media coordinators to police liaisons to legal support teams who help out those arrested. Collins is part of XR NYC’s intersectionality working group. “We try to look at everything from an inclusivity viewpoint, making sure the movement is for everyone and by everyone,” she said. To that end, the group has found solidarity with immigration activists and the Indigenous Women’s March and has joined in their actions and protests.
XR already has some small victories under its belt, though whether they rise to the standard of the group’s expectations for itself is another matter. Less than a week after the New York Times action, the city of New York declared a climate emergency, becoming one of the largest cities in the world to do so. But if governments don’t follow climate emergency declarations with concrete steps toward carbon neutrality, then these resolutions are useless gestures. This summer, the New York State Assembly passed an act that calls for an 85 percent greenhouse gas reduction by 2050, decades after the targets set by XR and other activist groups.
XR activists are all too aware of the possible disappointments ahead. Roger Hallam, the British political theorist who’s played a leading role in XR, has prophesied a dire climatological future requiring a more extreme public response. Speaking to an Amnesty International audience in February, he promised to bring down governments that didn’t act on the crisis. Hallam, who has also called for hunger strikes, warned that “some may die in the process.”

non-gummed envelope on which only the names of invited guests are printed.
– contain and further protect the elements of your invitation suite from rough mail handling
Mr. Parker and guest
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith OR
Mr. John and Mrs. Jane Smith OR
A few notes about including children on the inner envelope:
– If there are several young men, use “Messers.” And, if one or more of the children are not invited, the Messers can be specific (i.e. Messers Robert and Sam Smith) to show exactly which of the children are welcomed.
While some couples opt to forego the inner envelope in order to save on cost, the time and effort they could potentially save you from having to call guests to clarify who is invited may be worth the investment.

– There is tremendous value in the work and it is difficult to calculate the amount of hours we've taken advantage of. There are over one hundred students who have gone through twenty strategic areas of the company and gave their views on the business, said Rolf Salomonsson, manager at Svensk Cater in Luleå.
– I still have with me a number of reports that we are looking at. The customer satisfaction plan we planned out for this year's action plan in the budget. There was also a team that made a very interesting analysis on the distribution routine where we think we can save money, said Rolf Salomonsson, manager in Luleå.
A side effect was that Rolf Salomonsson found talent in unsuspected areas. During the summer they hired a student who helped with social media marketing.
– I find it hard to see that we wouldn't want to contact LTU Business and the university in the future, we want to have a steady contact with them and use different courses and projects. It requires a great deal of a company but I encourage all companies to do so. It is well worth the time and money, said Rolf Salomonsson.


When the governor of Oyo State, Senator Isiaka Ajimobi was campaigning for a second term in office, he knew it would not be easy for him to get to the Agodi hot seat, considering the past history of the state where no one has ever reelected. Ajimobi, in a bid to ensure he got the votes of the people promised heaven and earth if elected. Part of his promises was to stop the payment of school fees for primary and secondary pupils and also drastically reduce the fees paid by tertiary institutions across the state.
On getting the vote of the people, Ajimobi changed gear and totally forgot his promises. The former senator is now demanding that parents should be paying school fees, saying this is aimed at helping the government to achieve its goal of ‘FREE EDUCATION’. This decision, of course, surprised the people who have asked what free in the education is.
Our correspondent also gathered that the shuttle bus meant to convey students to and from school on daily basis has allegedly been turned commercial. Students are now demanded to pay some certain amount of money to get to their homes from school. The government, however, is letting the citizenry know that running a state is not a joke as all the pre-election campaign promises made cannot be fulfilled as at the moment. Although Governor Ajimobi defended the reason for taking this step, the people are not satisfied with his excuses because they are of the belief that as long as they pay taxes, the government must in turn take care of some of their certain needs.


the fall of 2010 filled out seven or more college applications. Approximately 77 percent of students applied to at least three schools.
"For a lot of first-generation kids, it can be really confusing," said Deb Stieffel, vice president for enrollment man as quoted by the Chicago Tribune. "They don't have parents [with college experience] to guide them, and the counselor-to-student ratio might be 400-to-1. A lot of students end up getting lost in the mix." Approximately 4 percent of applicants to Susquehanna applied to at least 15 schools, according to Stieffel.
Even if they aren't a mandatory part of the application process, doing things like requesting an interview with an admissions official and staying overnight at the school can show that you're serious about attending. The report states that this kind of activity, known as demonstrated interest, has grown substantially in recent years as competition for places, as well as the number of applications, has increased.

 </s> Atlanta Video Production: Local Firms Winning with Video Marketing
Video Marketing has changed the nature of the buying process. Today people are spending more thano content (aka Consuming Media).
If you listen closely, this trend will let you in on a little secret and explain to you exactly where you should be spending the bulk of your advertising dollars. Your business can experience enhanced results by leveraging this video content trend as a wayut. Knowing that having multiple videos naturally increases your website's SEO sinvesting. When you combine this with the fact that literally everyone is watching video content on the internet you can see how video marketing quickly elevates itself to the title of "game changer"industry, there is always an effective, creative, video solution waiting to be designed for your business.
Below are eight Atlanta firms who have taken advantage of recent video content trends and are noticeably ahead of the game because of it.
1. Bohemian Guitars - Product & Crowd funding Videos
By implementing product videos as part of their marketing & sales strategy, Bohemian Guitars is now able to demonstrate to customers exactly what their guitars look and sound like, giving the Boho team better control of their product marketing. Now when Bohemian's customers ask them 'what do your guitars sound like?', the Bohemian team can quickly show them beautiful videos highlighting the sound differences and options.
typical rehab"
CEO Mike Reis didn't want a standard rehab commercial filled with "actors and fake testimonials", he wanted a message that included the very real people he helps on a daily basis and a message that showed why his program is different from the others. They didn't have a gigantic budget to spend on a large ad agency, but they knew they needed professional help to direct the concept, scripting, production, and distribution of this video.
The message was simple: this is not your typical rehab. DecisionPoint knew video was the best way to convey this messages to the local families that really need the services they offer.
3. Frenik Labs- Video Marketing Services
Due to the highly specialized and expensive nature of the video production industry, it didn't make sense for Frenik to invest in their own video equipment or employees with video expertise. The solution to offering video to Frenik's clients was a strategic partnership.
As Atlanta's premiere concrete construction company, Martin Concrete consistently has teams working on big budget construction projects all over Atlanta. From sound stages to baseball stadiums, these guys do it all. The main factor constricting Martin's growth was keeping up with growth of sales.
The executives at Martin wondered how they could effortlessly attract more, qualified people. The plan was to create a recruitment video that would be featured on their new website and advertised on social media. With sponsorMartin can target the right people
