Houston Health Industry Insurance

In January of 2015, a woman was awarded more than eight million dollars from a medical malpractice lawsuit after she suffered brain damage. The woman was treated at a medical center where her blood sugar was not properly monitored, which resulted in physical injuries and permanent brain damage.

That same month, a couple sued a medical facility for alleged malpractice. The wife was a patient with complaints of the inability to urinate after a history of atrial fibrillation, which required medication to thin her blood. Because of her medical condition, the woman's coagulation times should have been checked, but she was not cared for properly according to the claim.

In February of 2015, a husband sought legal action after the death of his wife following a cosmetic procedure. The wrongful death suit claims that those who performed the procedure were not licensed to do so.

Train services around Aldershot and west Surrey will be cancelled on Sunday morning while maintenance work is carried out on a bridge by engineers.

South West Trains said trains on the lines between Farnham and Woking, and between Guildford and Ascot via Aldershot, would be closed from 1.15am until 1pm on Sunday (January 5).

Hourly bus services will replace the cancelled services, however the operator has warned that the buses may themselves be delayed due to flooding on roads. The affected bridge is in Government Road, near to Aldershot railway station.

A spokesman for the South West Trains-Network Rail Alliance said: "A programme of routine bridge checks is currently taking place and, during a planned inspection prior to Christmas, our engineers identified that some work was needed to repair defects to the bridge near Aldershot station."

He said the first major stage of the work was completed on New Year's Day.

All lines between Guildford and Ascot were closed on Friday, with fallen trees blocking lines blamed for the disruption, which was expected to continue until 2am on Saturday.

As well as Aldershot, these closures affect trains travelling through stations in Ash, Ash Vale, Frimley, Camberley and Bagshot.

Buses will replace trains between Farnham and Farnborough to connect with trains to and from Woking and London, and also between Guildford and Ascot, stopping at all stations on the line.

A shuttle train will run between Farnham and Alton, calling at Bentley.

Valid train tickets will be accepted for the bus journeys.

If the necessary work is completed on time, the operator expects all services to be back to normal from 1pm on Sunday.

The aim of multi-objective optimization is to simultaneously optimize two or more conflicting objectives subject to a set of constraints. In interactive optimization, Tchebycheff metric based approaches can be utilized to systematically reduce the set of selectable non-dominated solutions from one iteration to the next. In this paper, we propose an interactive fuzzy satisfaction level driven Tchebycheff procedure (FSLTP) to produce a set of well-balanced Pareto optimal solutions to be presented to the DM. This approach prevents generation of unwanted unbalanced solutions and will decrease the computational effort needed to find a desirable result

Édouard Manet

Dates1832 - 1883

Described by his contemporaries as a debonair, charismatic, and sociable man, Manet's artistic portrayal of the kaleidoscopic experience of modern Paris can be seen as a reflection of his personality and interests. For much of his career, Manet's urban subjects and seemingly detached approach to painting produced one scandal after another. He was a profoundly important figure to the development of Impressionism and to the course of art into the twentieth century.

Schooled in the traditional studio of history painter Thomas Couture, and a scrupulous student of Italian and Spanish Old Masters, Manet quickly broke away from convention. He painted Paris's fashionable high society and marginalized poor, the spectacle of the boulevard, café, and racetrack. Answering poet and friend Charles Baudelaire's call for art capturing the epic, heroic qualities of modern life, Manet produced large canvases of contemporary subjects; for example, he depicted the city's down-and-out on a scale once reserved for royal portraiture. Manet was equally provocative in his approach to painting, laying down intense contrasts of light and dark, creating brazenly unmodulated paint surfaces, and asserting the primacy of flattened pattern and color. For these innovations, Manet attracted unrelenting hostility and scorn.

Particularly shocking to the Parisian public was Manet's treatment of the female nude. In the 1860s, the brazen, frank nudity of Le déjeuner sur l'herbe and, most notoriously, Olympia, caused major scandals at the Salon. Manet also sought to revise other traditional genres and created still life paintings, portraiture, and religious scenes. The artist addressed current political events in his paintings and graphic work. Only toward the end of his career--having been warmly embraced by the younger Impressionist painters and their circle--did Manet begin to gain widespread recognition for his achievements.

  My best friend and I went looking for her dog Mildred up at an old abandoned house one evening. It was cold and getting dark. We were looking in a shed
  and heard something coming from the house. We walked up and opened an unlocked sliding door.
We called for Mildred and heard the sound again so we
  just walked in. The weird noise was coming from a back bedroom. I went to one bedroom to look for Mildred and my friend went to the other. We stopped
  calling to listen for a sound but it was silent.
All of a sudden I heard a crash and I ran to the room that my friend was in. She was gone. I haven't
  seen her or Mildred since that cold winter evening. But I can still feel her rub my back the way we used to.

While coming back from vo-tech, I was on my way to school with my best friend, it was just before lunch. We were headed southbound on hwy 3 in between Union Valley and Stonewall going down that big hill that forms that valley.There is a small intersection there. Just before that, we passed what looked like an early 70's model impala parked on the side of the northbound lane, and a small child with a little poodle type dog attached to a leash.We assumed it was a little girl, the child was wearing a white dress and a bonnet, which both appeared to be kind of old timey. At first she had her back to us and was at the rear end of the car. Just as we were about to pass, she turned around and started walking toward to the front of the car as if she was going to get in the driver's seat.She did not look at us, nor did she appear to be distress or anything. It appeared as if she just pulled over to let her dog relieve itself. The strange thing was was what gave us both shivers later.For some really odd reason, at the time we both just looked at each other and kept driving. But as the girl turned around, her face had a very gray / greenish color to it, along with wrinkles that implied she was very old, and what looked like small bumps about the size of a quarter that protruded out maybe a quarter inch all over her face.But her face did not really look human either, it had the features of that of a primate. With the eyebrow line that bulged outward, and the elongated mouth area. But if it was an old lady, she was not anymore that 4 and half feet tall.After we passed, we turned to look back and there was nothing there. No car, no little person, no little dog. We did not talk about it immediately, but waited about an hour or so before we asked each other what we had just seen.Why did not we freak out right then'' neither of us know why, it was as if we did not come to terms with what happened until were back at school about to starting eating lunch, because we both had forgotten about it and then asked ''what the hell did we see back there on the side of the road? '' crazy stuff happens sometimes.

Teaching Toddlers Emotional Self-Control: A Few Practical Thoughts

2014 at 8:04 am   |   by Nicole Whitacre Filed under Biblical Womanhood | Emotions | Motherhood | Parenting Young Children

Teaching our little ones how to handle their feelings is some of the “grunt work” of mothering. It doesn’t feel fun, for us or for our kids, but it creates an environment in which we can experience wonderful, bonding, moments with our children. More importantly, we are tilling the ground for gospel seeds. Here are a few practical thoughts on teaching little ones self-control with their emotions.

Model Self-Control: Instead of panicking when they panic or getting angry when they scream, we demonstrate a self-controlled response to the situation. My husband and I often try to help our children by responding with affectionate amusement when they overreact. My husband tries to make them laugh when they cry over nothing; they feel his care and at the same time they learn how to exercise emotional self-control.

Practice Self-Control: Emotional self-control is easier when a child has learned self-control with their speech and actions. Consider: How can you make “practicing self-control” part of your daily life? Listening without interrupting at the dinner table, set times of sitting still and reading, staying on their bed at night, not grabbing toys, or holding your hand when outside—all of these practices will help your children learn the valuable virtue of self-control.

{Don’t Always} Discipline for Self-Control: We must be very careful to distinguish between childish exuberance or exhaustion and true disobedience. An over-tired or teething child who won’t stop crying is in need of a good night’s sleep. A child who is noisy or silly or gets on your nerves might need forbearance more than discipline. On the other hand, we as parents must be discerning and diligent to deal with defiant, repetitive, behaviors that reveal a concerning lack of self-control.

Teach Self-Control: There is a lot to teach your children about handling emotions, but self-control is the place to begin. In age-appropriate ways we can teach our children what God’s Word says about the importance of self-control.

~Memorize Bible verses (Prov. 25:28, 1 Cor. 9:24-27, Gal. 5:22-24, 1 Tim. 2:9, 2 Tim. 1:7, 2 Pet. 1:5-8).

~Make learning fun for the whole family by acting out a right and wrong way to respond.

~Sing songs about self-control. To Be Like Jesus and Seeds of Character include songs and Scriptures set to music that talk about self-control.

~Tell and/or read stories that show the blessings of self-control. Saturate their hearts and minds with narratives that highlight the blessings of self-control.

~ Have self-control sticker charts or contests among the kids. Encourage them to notice and encourage self-control in each other.

Helping our children build a wall of self-control is a lengthy, unglamorous, process, but the end goal is beautiful, fulfilling, and God-glorifying for our families. Don’t lose sight of it!

Q&A: Patient vs. Permissive Parenting, Pt. 2

2013 at 2:17 pm   |   by Nicole Whitacre Filed under Biblical Womanhood | Homemaking | Family Fun | Motherhood | Parenting Young Children | Q&A

How can we avoid being permissive in our parenting?

In other words, how can I be patient, loving, and consistent as I exercise my God-ordained parental authority in the home (Prov. 22:6, Eph. 6:4)?

There are many things could be said. But since change is in the details, here are three practices that Mom reminds me and my sisters of regularly.

1. Prepare our heart.

Sadly, my sinful tendency is to be permissive in areas that God has commanded (e.g. obeying completely, immediately and cheerfully) and impatient about things that don’t exactly show up in God’s Word (depositing dirty fingerprints all over the walls).

To realign my parenting priorities, I must go back to God’s Word. I need a healthy dose of the fear of the Lord, and a reminder of what is most important to God for me to instill in my children: obedience, respect, and truthfulness, to name a few.

Meditating on passages of Scripture that outline my responsibilities as a parent helps me cultivate a healthy fear of the Lord in mothering. Listening to a sermon, getting encouragement from a God-fearing mother, reading even a few lines of a good book or a wise blog post, all can be ways of preparing my heart to be patient and consistent in parenting.

And remember, this is a temptation common to mothers! We shouldn’t be shocked or give into self-pity. Rather, we should eagerly receive the gospel opportunity to repent, experience forgiveness, and grow in grace. Given the deep-rootedness of our selfishness we will probably fight these temptations until our children leave home. But God’s grace wont give out before then—it outlasts and all our mothering temptations and needs.

2. Prepare our plan.

Mom is always encouraging me and my sisters to pick one or two areas (max) to focus on with our children. With my younger kids this usually is an area of disobedience, disrespect, or dishonesty; or it may be a sin that is causing the most disruption in the home. If we take five minutes at the beginning of a day or week to prayerfully consider our biblical goals for training our children, this will prevent many temptations to permissive parenting.

Then develop a clear, simple guidelines. What are we expecting and what are the consequences? If we can’t answer this question clearly to ourselves it won’t be clear to our children.

Now it’s time to hold the line. No exceptions. For me, I often have to write my parenting priority at the top of my to-do list. And I pray throughout the day that God will help me to be faithful.

And don’t fret. We can’t eliminate every vestige of permissiveness in a single day. We won’t do it perfectly. Our children probably won’t respond immediately. But we’ll be more consistent and patient than if we had never tried at all.

3. Prepare for a happy family.

When we take a few minutes to prepare our hearts and our plan, this will go a long way to helping us to be consistent and patient as we exercise our God-ordained authority in the home. And the entire family will benefit!

If we are clear on our mothering goals, we will be more likely to resist the temptation to impatience. When we are focused on pleasing God we will be less likely to be permissive. We won’t be carrying around a load of guilt and irritation in our mothering. As a result, we will be more at peace.

And the more consistent we are, the happier our children are. Children thrive in the context of the gracious, consistent, exercise of parental authority. They love to know what to expect. When our children don’t have to worry that Mom is going to blow up about something one day and ignore it the next, when they understand they are being held to God’s standard and not the standard of Mom’s feelings, they feel happy and safe.

So consider, what is one way we can take a grace-enabled step toward faithful, patient parenting this week?

Q&A: Patient vs. Permissive Parenting

2013 at 1:25 pm   |   by Nicole Whitacre Filed under Biblical Womanhood | Motherhood | Parenting Young Children | Q&A

Hi all—sorry for the brief hiatus from posting. We were traveling and unexpectedly found ourselves without Internet access. Home now and ready to resume our regularly scheduled posts with a new Q&A. Have a great Wednesday!

A few weeks ago, in a Facebook comment on our post answering the question “How Do You Stay Patient with Young Children?” Michelle asked a great follow-up:

“I sometimes have a hard time discerning between patience and permissiveness. It seems that some days I’m feeling ‘patient’ and so I don’t pick on certain issues as much, so is it patience or permissiveness?”

I threw this question out to Mom and here are a few of her thoughts:

This is an insightful question, Michelle, because we as parents often confuse godly patience with sinful permissiveness. But the two are not the same.

Patient parenting means we are “slow to anger” in the face of provocation or disobedience from our children (Ex. 34:6, James 1:19). It does not mean we don’t bring appropriate discipline, but that we discipline in love.

As Jerry Bridges explains, patience “seeks the ultimate good of [our child] rather than the immediate satisfaction of our own aroused emotions.”

Permissive parenting often masquerades as patience, but has different motives underlying it. Sinfully permissive parenting is often based on our emotions—whether or not we feel like correcting our children’s sin or whether or not we want to deal with this right now—rather than a commitment to teach our children to submit to our loving authority for their good and God’s glory.

In fact, permissiveness in parenting can be an abdication of our God-given, lovingly exercised authority. Permissive parenting may unintentionally put the kids in charge, which is the opposite of what God has ordained.

In short, permissive parenting is often about how we feel or what we want; patient parenting is about what would please God and help our children to grow in Christ-like character.

For example, it is not patient to instruct our children to do something but then give in to them when they beg off. It’s permissive.

It is not being patient to tell our children not to do something, and then fail to follow through or merely repeat our instructions when they ignore our commands or whine or argue. It’s permissive.

It is not patient parenting to look the other way when our children sin or to neglect to train them to overcome patterns of sin. It’s permissive

It is not being patient to satisfy our child’s every desire and give into his every demand, even if it feels patient because it requires sacrifice on our part. It’s permissive.

Ironically, sometimes the easiest way to tell if we have slipped into permissive parenting is if we are tempted to be impatient. I remember that when I used to get impatient with my children it was usually a sign that I had been growing lax and permissive in my parenting. Because I wasn’t faithful to give clear commands and bring appropriate and loving discipline when they disobeyed, my children’s behavior would grow more unruly and I would respond more impatiently.

Permissive parenting is one of the easiest traps for us to fall into as a mom. Sadly, I can recall many times when I was more permissive than patient in my parenting. But our Heavenly Father is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and patience toward us. He does not ignore our sins of laziness and impatience, but rather he sent his Son to pay for them at the cross. And the Holy Spirit is at work in our hearts, training us to obey God’s Word and grow in Christ-like patience toward our children.

So how does God help us to avoid becoming permissive and impatient in our parenting?

We’ll tackle that question in our next post.

Q&A: How Do You Stay Patient With Young Children?

2013 at 7:47 am   |   by Nicole Whitacre Filed under Biblical Womanhood | Motherhood | Parenting Young Children | Q&A

Stephanie has a two-year-old whom she loves to pieces, but who whines a lot. Ashley has five children at home under the age of nine. Both wrote to ask “how do you stay patient with young children?”

I can certainly relate. Impatience is a common temptation for us as moms. So, as I always do, I asked my exceptionally patient mom (she raised me after all!), and wrote down a few of her suggestions. This is not an exhaustive list, just a few things she’s passed on to me that I have found most helpful:

Identify temptation points

Recently my husband and I realized that we were most tempted to be impatient when we had to get our four children out the door. Identifying this temptation-point helped, not only so we could prepare our hearts to be more self-controlled and patient, but also so we could streamline our process and get an earlier start. Less temptation for everyone. Less impatience from Mom and Dad.

Be consistent

More often then not, when I find myself growing impatient with my children, it is because I have not been clear about the rules or boundaries. They are simply following my lead. So why am I getting impatient with them? My impatience is often a clue that I have slacked off in one area or another. It is time to get back to basics and train or instruct ahead of time and then be consistent to bring appropriate consequences. Being consistent helps me guard against impatience.

Don’t do stupid things twice

This one is for me. I am always repeating my own stupid mistakes. But Janelle is the opposite. She’s a fast learner. For example, a little while ago her two-year-old Hudson became obsessed with balloons. He would throw a fit when he saw a balloon in the store. He would even start screaming in his car seat when they drove past balloons outside! Once she realized this, Janelle made strategic decisions to avoid balloons where possible. She took alternative routes home and avoided certain sections of the store, unless she was prepared to buy a balloon. Point is, if you know your toddler is going to throw a fit in aisle three, if possible, don’t go to aisle three for a while. Wait until your consistent training at home makes it possible for you to go to the store without a meltdown. Do whatever you can to avoid walking into situations you know will be tempting for you and your child.

Be grateful

I read a great post on this by someone, somewhere, and now I can’t find it. The upshot was that when we cultivate a heart of gratefulness to God for the precious gift of our children, it counteracts the impatience in our heart. So if we find our impatience is rising, how’s our gratefulness? Let’s thank God for the amazing gift of our children and it will be much easier to be patient.

There is something about going to God in prayer that reminds us just how patient our heavenly Father is with us. This produces humility in our hearts, which in turn, produces patience toward our children. And we need God’s help. So let’s pray. He is eager to help us to model His patience toward our children.

Q&A: How Do You Focus on One Thing?

2013 at 9:23 am   |   by Janelle Bradshaw Filed under Biblical Womanhood | Motherhood | Parenting Young Children | Q&A

Karissa wrote in with a great question:

In a recent post you talked about “picking one thing” and being consistent about it in the discipline of a toddler. I guess my question is: How? There are multiple little issues of obedience that are clear to my 19-month-old, but I also want to be consistent about tantrum throwing. So what do I do about those other issues? Do I overlook her disobedience or lead her away from the “no touch” object? What do I do about those other obedience issues? Thanks for your input!

Great question, Karissa, and I think you’ve got the right idea. We most effectively train our children when we focus on one or two areas at a time. But very young children disobey in a myriad of ways! So how can we focus on one thing without losing ground in other areas?

I’m sure many moms have more wisdom than me, but here are a few ideas I’ve found helpful:

If temper tantrums are your “one thing” then consider ways to minimize other sources of temptation. If your daughter always heads for her favorite “no touch” item in the living room, maybe remove it for a time. If your son cries when you drive by the local park, then try taking another route home. If your child is eyeing another child’s toy dump truck, distract him with some blocks. Eliminating predictable areas of temptation can help you focus most consistently on the most important things.

If our child sins in ways we can’t ignore, seek to deal with it appropriately and move on. So if our child grabs a toy we need to help him return it, telling him as we do that it is wrong to grab. Or if she won’t come right away we may need to go get her and remind her to always come to mommy right away. These are important areas to deal with and should be our “one thing” sooner rather than later, but in the meantime it may help deal quickly with these issues and move on.

This requires patience. For example, we may find our child’s whining irksome, but if we have already decided that tantrums are a more urgent issue, we may need to bite our lip, smile, and model cheerfulness for the time being.

In conclusion, it might help to think ahead about your day: Where can I distract my child from temptation? Where can I overlook or redirect? And where do I need to focus all of my discipline and training?

Finally, as we’ve said all along, don’t grow weary in doing good. Your consistency in one area will produce fruit in many areas in your child’s life.

Just Choose One

2013 at 9:37 am   |   by Janelle Bradshaw Filed under Motherhood | Parenting Young Children

Over the last few months Hudson has crossed that threshold from baby to toddler. His speech has taken off, his comprehension level is higher. He’s not my baby anymore. But with big boy words and actions have come big boy attitudes. Mike and I needed to become more intentional about training him to obey.

But where to start? Mom’s advice has always been so helpful here: “Choose one area at a time and be consistent.” As we considered our little guy, we decided to address screaming. For one thing, Hudson’s screaming had become clearly defiant. He screamed when he was mad or frustrated with us, one of his sisters, or with himself. He screamed when we didn’t let him have what he wanted. This was clearly an area where he needed to come under our loving, biblical authority and to learn self-control.

Not only was Hudson’s screaming a clear expression of disobedience, it had ramifications for family life. It made it difficult to take him out to the store or to a restaurant, it didn’t bless Caly or MJ as they tried to play with him, it caused babysitters to run the other direction. His high-pitched, badly-timed screams were kind of hard to ignore.

So a couple of months ago I buckled down and began intensive, focused training on this area. This meant I had to overlook or other ways Hudson lacked self-control such as throwing toys or his near-constant whining. Whenever Hudson screamed I repeated the same simple phrase, “No scream. Say ‘Yes Mommy.” Then I brought appropriate consequences.

Consistency was the hardest part. Sometimes it meant turning off the stove and dragging my pregnant self upstairs to address a screaming incident. But the consistent training is beginning to bear fruit in Hudson’s life.

Sure, he still screams, but not nearly as much as he used to. And even though we focused on this one area, it has spilled over into other areas as well. Most notably, Hudson is happier now. And his newly formed habits of obedience and self-control mean we can go to out to dinner and make memories as a family.

We’re just at the starting line of many years of training Hudson, but one area at a time, by the grace of God, we can make progress in teaching him to obey.

Target the Heart In Time

2013 at 8:17 am   |   by Nicole Whitacre Filed under Motherhood | Parenting Teenagers | Parenting Young Children

Targeting our children’s hearts is a very important goal in gospel-centered parenting. Ultimately, I want my children to understand that their hearts are sinful and that they need a Savior. I also want to help my children discern the motives of their hearts—why they do what they do.

To this end, my husband and I provide regular instruction about the true state of their souls before a holy God. We also seek to teach them, primarily in more structured family times, about how sin works. Recently my husband, gave them a little Lying 101 lesson over breakfast: “We often lie because we want to look good, make others look bad, or stay out of trouble” he explained.

And in order to shepherd our children’s hearts, we watch them closely. We seek to discover and discern what motivates them, what makes them tick, what are their characteristic temptations and tendencies so we can parent them wisely.

But targeting the heart looks different, depending on the age and maturity each individual child. With our sons, Jack and Jude, who are 9 and 8 respectively, we are just beginning to spend more time talking about their hearts when they disobey or when an opportunity arises.

With our daughters Tori and Sophie (5 and 3) however, I don’t often spend a ton of time dialoguing and discussing their heart in moments of disobedience. Mostly that’s because when a fight breaks out and one of them is involved, there is lots of crying and wailing and I could ask penetrating questions about heart issues, but nobody would hear me.

But I also don’t expect them to always grasp “heart issues” at this young age. After all, as Jeremiah tells us, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” I’m in my thirties and I still don’t always know why I do certain things! I can hardly expect my three-year-old to have it figured out by now.

A good long chat about heart issues may be wise parenting for a teenager or an older child, but what a three-year-old needs is consistent training and discipline. First they need to learn to obey. Heart issues, those will come in time.

So don’t become discouraged if your toddler doesn’t understand why he grabbed the toy or your five-year-old still doesn’t “obey from the heart.” This doesn’t mean you are failing as a mom. As long as you are lovingly and consistently training your little ones to obey and respect parental authority, you are fulfilling God’s commands.

How Is Obedience a Gateway to Understanding the Gospel?

2013 at 8:20 am   |   by Carolyn Mahaney Filed under Motherhood | Parenting Young Children

One of the most powerful illustrations is from the relationship of Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller. You may know the story. Helen was a young girl who, at the age of nineteen months, became deaf and blind as the result of an unknown illness. Her parents, at a loss as to how to help their suffering daughter, provided little restraint or discipline. So when Annie was hired to teach Helen, she made no progress at first, due to Helen’s wild and violent behavior. “It was useless to teach her language or anything else until she learned to obey me” Annie reasoned. So Annie began at the beginning. She insisted that Helen obey.

After an extended battle of wills, Annie won. Helen became calm and submissive, able to listen, and able to learn. And oh what she learned! This little girl, whose life was up until now a dark and lonely place, learned to communicate. She learned to “speak” and to “listen” through her hands. She learned to read. And so, Annie wisely concluded: “Obedience is the gateway for knowledge to enter the mind.”

So it is with our children. We have this all-precious gift to give to them—the good news of the gospel. We have much to teach them about God, who He is, what He has done, what His Word has to say about the world and about their lives. And yet to truly practice effective gospel-centered mothering we must first teach them to obey.

“Training must come before teaching” insisted Katherine Howard, Elisabeth Elliot’s mother. “[Teaching] is impossible unless the children cooperate. And they don’t cooperate unless they are disciplined from their earliest days. This discipline lays the groundwork for teaching.”

This is why Scripture equates a parents love with discipline and hatred with a lack of love (Prov. 13:24). Counterintuitive to the post-modern mind, but as true as ever. “Train up a child in the way he should go” Proverbs exhorts us, “even when he is old he will not depart from it” (22:6).

This is both an exhortation and encouragement to mothers. It is an exhortation to moms when we are tempted to neglect loving discipline and training—whether from laziness, busyness, fear of our children’s rejection, or biblical ignorance. We must not neglect this most important biblical mothering priority.

It is also an encouragement to moms who are “in the trenches.” You are faithfully—not perfectly, but consistently—training your young children to obey. You may see very little in the way of results so far. You may be worn out and discouraged. You may wonder if you are on the right track. You may worry because your mothering doesn’t “feel” very gospel-centered at the moment. But your child’s obedience isn’t opposed to the gospel. It is the gateway through which you can bring the gospel message.

So persevere. Be faithful. And I promise—better yet, God has promised!—that you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Gal 6:9).

“Real Simple” Mothering

2013 at 7:21 am   |   by Nicole Whitacre Filed under Motherhood | Parenting Young Children

Whenever I get overwhelmed and mothering seems as complex as a calculus problem, my mom always helps me put things in perspective. “Gospel-centered mothering at this stage is simple,” she tells me. “Not easy, mind you. It requires sacrificial love, hard work, and consistency. But it isn’t complicated.”

My problem is that I am a professional complicator. If “complicating the simple” was a science they would have tenured me as a professor at some prestigious university by now. I chase every new rabbit trail of a mothering idea, and fret about the roads not taken with my children. In this self-constructed maze, I quickly lose sight of God’s priorities for mothering young children.

But Mom’s right. It isn’t that complicated. It comes down to two basic but crucial priorities: Obedience and Respect. Paul summarizes these twin child-training “musts” for the early years:

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land” (Eph. 6:20).

There are many good things that we can—and should—teach our children. But these two are essential if we want our children to enjoy a long and a good life, a life of gospel fruitfulness. This isn’t moralistic mothering. Training our children to respect and obey is God’s command. And it is essential to helping our children understand what it means to fear the Lord, to walk in obedience to Him.

“The child trained in biblical obedience is better able to understand the gospel” explains Tedd Tripp. “The power and grace of the gospel is most deeply understood, not by those who never face their biblical duties, but by those who do.”

Obedience is the gateway to understanding the gospel.

So as I consider at the beginning of this year how to train my children, I return to these two simple priorities. I ask myself: How am I doing at training my children to respect and obey us? How can I as a mother be more consistent, more effective, at teaching, training, and disciplining my children in these two areas?

Gospel-centered mothering in 2013? Not easy. But real simple.

From One Mom to Another: Don’t Grow Weary

2012 at 1:38 pm   |   by Nicole Whitacre Filed under Biblical Womanhood | Good Works | Motherhood | Parenting Young Children

Our Aunt Betsy (Ricucci) is our dad’s sister and one of the most encouraging people you will ever meet. On Sunday at church she passed on some very encouraging motherhood advice to me, and then followed up with an email yesterday. It was too good not to post. While I wish all of you could be in the same church with Aunt Betsy to receive her specific and godly encouragement each week, I hope every mother who is seeking to diligently teach her children to obey will receive these encouraging words as “just for you.”

Hi Nicole!

I just wanted to clarify my quick encouragement to you yesterday. I had seen Janelle earlier and encouraged her as a mom and she said I should tell you too, so I tried!

As your mom said to me multiple times when I was a young mom: Don’t grow weary of the well doing on behalf of your wee ones! Every time you deny or disappoint their selfishness, no matter their response, is a win for you and ultimately a win for them! Don’t evaluate your mothering success by their response to your training initially, but by the fact that true biblical love looks out for their ultimate best interest. And their best interest is not to have selfishness rewarded but denied and overcome. (And isn’t that true of us too?!) So just know, when you must say “no” for the kiddos best good and their response may be wailing, you can have a biblical perspective that some sin has been wounded but their souls ultimately helped! This is true, biblical, sacrificial love that truly considers the greatest good of others. And those others are the precious lives of your children!

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Gal.6:9 This verse has always encouraged me so much! The promise of reaping a good harvest is not dependent upon the perfections of the good we do (we fail so often don’t we?!) but simply in not giving up. And I must depend upon His faithfulness to not give up. But, “He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.” I Thess. 5:24

May God reward your faithful mothering with an awareness of His nearness, His working, His goodness and His faithfulness above all else.

Love you so very much!

Aunt B

GIS People Triumphs In State Innovation Project

GIS People has been chosen to develop a solution for the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads’ “graffiti problem”.

Large corporations and government organisations want to be more innovative but don’t often get the opportunity to engage with innovators in a meaningful way. Organised by PwC, supported by Queensland State Government and hosted at QUT, the inaugural Queensland Government Open Innovation Hub Pilot Project aimed to overcome this issue.

Held last weekend, the first stage of the project brought together companies both big and small, along with leaders from the start-up community, to present their ideas on four ‘problems worth solving’ – the topics were predefined beforehand.

GIS People nominated under the ‘Graffiti’ category to help TMR systematically identify, categorise and remediate graffiti across their assets. We took the chance to get in front of TMR’s panel of judges, learn about their problems, and pitch our solution to the graffiti problem.

The location of graffiti plays the most important role when it comes to identifying, classifying and removing graffiti, so our solution placed location intelligence at the centre of the proposal, along with mobile technology and open source software. Collected over time, the geographic location of graffiti helps build a picture (or heat map) about where most of the incidents are occurring, and helps identify the areas on which TMR should focus. We outlined the main features of the prototype that we will build to TMR, and showcased GIS People’s potential.

And we have now been advised that we were successful!

“The Judging Panel has carefully considered all of the proposed solutions against the judging criteria and are delighted to inform you that you have been selected to progress through to the incubation stage.”

This will be a great opportunity to develop a comprehensive tailored solution for TMR, and we look forward to working with PwC and Queensland Government in the incubation stage.

Aldershot manager Kevin Dillon has confirmed midfielder Scott Donnelly is leaving the club.

The 22-year-old is out of contract and has caught the eye of a number of sides including Wycombe, who are managed by former Shots boss Gary Waddock.

Dillon told skysports: "I'm really pleased for Scotty. There's a move imminent but it's not public yet. He could have packed it in when he knew he wasn't signing.

"He goes with a pat on the back and the club he's going to is great. Some people will be surprised where he's going but he deserves it and it will improve his career."

Bees still looking for manager

Published Add your comment

Football News

Brentford's search for a manager looks set to drag on into next week with the club revealing they have yet to offer anyone the job.

St Johnstone claim boss Derek McInnes turned down a move to Griffin Park last week, but the Bees insist they have not made any formal offers.

Striker Nicky Forster, who has been in temporary charge since Andy Scott was sacked in March, is not in the running despite admitting he wants the job.

Former West Brom boss Roberto di Matteo was heavily linked with the role but is now also in the frame for the Sheffield United vacancy, while Rushden manager Justin Edinburgh is also believed to be on the shortlist.

Bees chief executive officer Andrew Mills said: "The process of drafting a shortlist and interviewing candidates has been ongoing for some while and, despite reports to the contrary, no formal offer has has been made to anyone at this stage.

"However, we continue to investigate every possible opportunity to find the best candidate and I remain hopeful that our current discussions and negotiations, though delicate, will have a positive outcome."

Stevan Jovetic joins Inter Milan on loan

Published Add your comment

Football News

Manchester City have announced that Stevan Jovetic will join Serie A side Inter Milan on an 18-month loan deal with a view to making it a permanent switch.

The 25-year-old has struggled to make an impact in England with the Citizens due to serious injury problems and severe competition for places in the first-team at the Etihad Stadium.

Jovetic at City

Since arriving in Manchester in 2013 from Italian side Fiorentina, Jovetic has been behind the likes of Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, Alvaro Negredo and more recently Wilfried Bony.

Article continues below

Despite the competition for places and the lack of first-team football, the Montenegro international decided to stay put in England last summer and fight for his place in Manuel Pellegrini's first-team.

However, in January, Jovetic's future was all-but confirmed with the Chilean manager signed Bony from Swansea City for £28million. After Bony's arrival, Jovetic was dropped from Pellegrini's Champions League squad and then failed to make a single appearance for the club.

Article continues below

Jovetic in Italy

Jovetic has flown over to Italy and arrived at the San Siro after undergoing a medical and filling out the necessary paperwork.

The Montenegro international will spend a year-and-a-half at the San Siro, with the chance to make it permanent in 2016.

During his stay in England, the striker netted 11 goals in 44 appearances, but he will be hopeful he can re-find his former-form which secured his move to City in the first place. Jovetic was a rising star in Italy with Fiorentina and he is hoping to resurrect his career in Serie A.

Inter Statement

Inter Milan president Erick Thohir, had this to say on the news: "We are excited by the signing of Jovetic.

"He's another important addition to our squad. A dynamic forward that will add value to our attack. Mancini will get the best out of him.

"Welcome to the club, Stevan and Forza Inter forever!"

Jovetic joins Martin Montoya, Miranda and Geoffrey Kondogbia in completing moves to Inter Milan this summer. He's also the third Premier League player to move to Italy, following Wojciech Szczesny and possibly Edin Dzeko.

Mohamed Salah from Chelsea could become a fourth if he finalises his proposed move to AS Roma.

City fans, what do you think to Jovetic's move? Is it a good thing? Let us know your thoughts in the comments box below.

Feds not handling women’s uranium claims

The clerks and secretaries who worked in the Atomic Energy Commission offices in Grand Junction during World War II and later during the Cold War handled ore samples and were frequently in and around milling products.

One of them, Patie Claypoole of Grand Junction, has developed a pulmonary fibrosis, a condition for which she could receive a compassionate payment from the federal government and medical care, except for one thing. She wasn’t a miner, miller or ore hauler, three occupations compensated in the 1991 Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.

As a federal employee, Claypoole is ineligible for any payments under current federal law, as she has been informed by the U.S. Department of Justice, which administers the compensation program.

Proposed revisions to the law also don’t take account of her circumstances, and her letters to federal legislators have gone unheeded, Claypoole said.

Claypoole, who has difficulty speaking because of unrelated health issues, is not alone, she said.

Other women who worked in the Grand Junction offices of the former Atomic Energy Commission have been diagnosed with diseases that would be compensable under the radiation exposure compensation law and related legislation, except for the fact they were employed by the federal government, said Bill Chenoweth, a former federal employee who has worked under contract to the Justice Department to help administer the compassionate payments.

Had Claypoole worked for any of a string of federal contractors employed in milling in Grand Junction, “She would have been covered,” Chenoweth said.

Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M, has introduced legislation that would include occupations such as core drillers, who drilled into the dusty Colorado Plateau to find uranium ore deposits, as compensable occupations. One core driller who suffered from silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis, Tom Green of Price, Utah, died this spring before Congress could act on the proposed revisions.

The original compensation act acknowledged the contributions of uranium miners to the United States’ Cold War effort. It offered $100,000 to miners suffering from terminal diseases related to radiation exposure, including emphysema, certain lung cancers and other illnesses.

Legislation adopted in 2000 increased the amount of the compassionate payment to $150,000 and added millers and ore haulers to the list of occupations for which compensation was available.

The most recent bill recognizes as eligible for compensation miners and millers who worked in the industry after 1971, but a question has arisen about whether people who worked as haulers between 1971 and 1990 would be similarly covered.

The Udall measure, S. 3224, also would set aside money for an epidemiological study of the health effects on families of uranium workers and residents of uranium-development communities.

The measure is awaiting a study by the Congressional Budget Office and has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A bipartisan group of senators, including Colorado Democrats Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, along with Tom Udall and Republican Mike Crapo of Idaho and others, have written to ask the Senate Judiciary Committee to schedule a hearing on the bill to amend the original Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.

Interview: Square Enix Producer James Wright on Deus Ex: The Fall

by on July 11, 2013

After much backlash from fans, Deus Ex: The Fall is out on iOS devices, today. Initial impressions have been pretty positive for the game and now fans of the series will be able to see how Deus Ex translates to smartphones and tablets.

Recently, we had the opportunity to speak with Square Enix producer James Wright on Deus Ex: The Fall’s use of in-app purchases, control scheme and a few other things that might interest fans of the franchise.

Firstly, could you briefly summarise the story of Deus Ex: The Fall for any of our readers that haven’t been keeping up with the game?

It’s the next instalment in the Deus Ex franchise so for us its a full Deus Ex game and by that, I mean [that] it’s not a derivative [and] it’s not watered down in anyway. It’s not just one part of the experience. It’s got all of our four main gameplay pillars: so that’s the choice of action or stealth gameplay, the ability to have hacking and also social interaction within the game world with other characters, so you can [have] branching storylines.

Deus Ex The Fall screen 1

The game has been in development for twelve months and we’ve used an external development partner called N-Fusion who are based in New York. For us, we wanted to make an authentic Deus Ex experience from day one. So, from day one we’ve been working with the creative team in Eidos Montreal – who you’ll know also created Human Revolution. We’ve had access to the full team there who have been totally involved so that’s been – the executive game director, the executive producer, the art director, the writing team have been working on our script and also the composer who has created a new, custom soundtrack for Deus Ex: The Fall.

In terms of where Deus Ex: The Fall fits within the universe – it’s set in 2027 [which] is the same year as Human Revolution. To be precise, it actually takes place shortly after the attack in Sarif Industries. So, Adam Jensen doesn’t feature in our game. At the time of our story, he’s recuperating – eating his food through a straw. Our game features a guy called Ben Saxon, [who] is an existing Deus Ex character. He’s the hero in the book, Icarus Effect. [He’s] a really interesting character, he’s augmented, he’s an ex-British SAS soldier, he’s a mercenary – gun for hire [and] he used to belong to a group called The Tyrants who are the guys that Adam Jensen was up against in Human Revolution. Basically, our game starts with Ben in hiding in Costa Rica, so our game picks up directly as the book finishes. What’s happening in our story is that Ben and his partner Anna Kelso [are] both augmented, so unlike Adam Jensen, they need a drug called neuropozyne so [that] their bodies don’t reject their augmentations. There is a global shortage of the drug, which is dangerous for Ben and Anna because if they run out, they can potentially die. Also, that’s a global issue, so anyone that’s augmented is going to run into trouble real soon. Ben needs to come out of hiding so he travels to Panama in order to secure him and Anna a supply of the drug neuropozyne, but also [to] start uncovering the conspiracy of why there’s a shortage and who’s behind that.

As you said, N-Fusion are looking after development – as are Square Enix Mobile, but in terms of input, does Eidos Montreal have a considerable amount, or are N-Fusion effectively taking the reigns with regards this instalment in the series?

N-Fusion are the guys who will have an idea or create a level, or write a draft of the script – and its a collaboration, [after that]. That then comes back to us at Square and the creative team at Eidos Montreal and we’ll sit down and say, “that’s not quite how it fits in Deus Ex”, or “that doesn’t fit within the world or the universe” or, “this would work better”. For example, the script took about eight months and that wasn’t just N-Fusion producing something [of their own accord]. That was a case of [a] draft script being produced, then all of us having a workshop in Montreal, then having another workshop in New Jersey. It was much more of a collaboration [with] both ourselves and N-Fusion wanting to really make the best Deus Ex game that we could. The experts on the franchise are the guys who spent the last four or five years creating Human Revolution so we listened to those guys pretty much all the time to make sure the game was an authentic Deus Ex experience. I’d much more say, as opposed to “who had final sign-off”, it was a shared goal to make this an authentic experience and [Deus Ex: The Fall] felt much more [like] a collaboration.

Deus Ex The Fall screen 5

The game picks up where Deus Ex: Icarus Effect leaves off, but if a potential player hasn’t read the book, will they be missing out on any story beats by just jumping into The Fall?

Not at all. I think if you’ve played Human Revolution or any other Deus Ex game, or if you’ve read Icarus Effect, then you’ll recognise characters who will be familiar to you, but the approach to the story was always that it was a standalone game. So, all of the characters are introduced – we’ve even got a playable flashback scene so you get more background on Ben before the main mission starts. If you’ve never played a Deus Ex game before [or] if you’ve never read Icarus Effect, that’s ok. You’ll be able to pick up the game and it will make sense to you.

So, it could even be used as a jumping on point?

Yeah, absolutely. If you’ve never played a Deus Ex game before, you can come into this as an entry point, but obviously, if you are familiar with the series – if you’ve played Human Revolution or if you’ve just played the first Deus Ex, we’ve got characters from Human Revolution who are voiced again by the same actors. We’ve even got a character from the original Deus Ex who is appearing in the game and is also voiced by the same actor.

Deus Ex The Fall screen 3

In terms of controls, with regard the mobile space, virtual buttons are a difficult thing to get right. Now, what’s being done to ensure that Deus Ex: The Fall’s control scheme will rival that of, for example, an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller?

I think that’s a really good point and you have to take the game as it is and build for the platform, so we never wanted to say “this is everything that makes a Deus Ex game and let’s make sure we get everything mapped to a virtual button”, because that wasn’t going to work. So, the game has been built from the ground up, including the control scheme. We’ve put virtual sticks in there. Obviously, some people don’t like virtual sticks, so we wanted to create a range of control options and [also], to tweak some of the gameplay elements. For example, in terms of control options, the player’s got the ability to put the joystick on the screen if they want something a bit more tactile. If they want to just tap to move, the player can tap the floor to move. The player can even tap pieces of cover and Ben will walk up and immediately go into cover – that’s really, really cool and useful. Players can also completely customise where the buttons are on the screen, so there are a lot of custom control options. As I said, we didn’t want to port everything over because it wasn’t going to make sense.

Some things have been streamlined to make sense for the touch screen. For example, there’s no longer a need to run – [when] players push up a small amount on the virtual stick he’ll walk, [if] they push up the full amount, Ben will start to run. Obviously, with Deus Ex: Human Revolution there was an element of first person platforming – running and jumping – that’s great when you’ve got a controller, but we don’t have that. So, we’ve removed the need for first person platforming, so the player doesn’t jump anymore, but [the player] can now vault over objects. By vaulting over objects, Ben can get access to different areas, [he can] use ladders to get to the vertical elements of levels. We don’t need to use first person platforming in order to do that. [It] would’ve been pretty hard to do with touch screen controls.

Deus Ex The Fall screen 7

In terms of another couple couple of changes that we’ve made, [we’ve altered] the targeting system. The player has a manual target if they want [to use that], where they can line up headshots and just push the fire button. Another thing they can do is tap enemies in their sights and then hold the fire button down – a little bit of auto aim when someone targets like that. There’s also auto targets, so wherever the reticule goes, if you hold down fire, you’ll automatically target them and automatically fire them – so that’s kind of like the automated option. But, all of this is completely customisable, so if you don’t want any kind of targetting assist, you don’t have to have it.

Another example is the need to remove bodies. We decided very early on, we didn’t want players to have to go up to a body and go into a drag mode, drag the body somewhere [and then] exit the drag mode because it would’ve been quite cumbersome to do that with pop-ups on-screen. So, what happens now is that bodies will dissolve on the play field after a small amount of time, [but] that doesn’t mean that stealth is any easier because if a body is on the play field and a camera sees the downed body or an enemy patrol sees the body, then an alarm will be raised, much in the same way as [it would in] Human Revolution. We’ve still retained that challenge of stealth without players having to worry about picking up and dragging bodies.

Another big change we’ve made is with the inventory. The player doesn’t need to worry about the inventory anymore. With mobile, play time can be shorter so we didn’t want the player to spend time managing the inventory or having to tap every single item that’s on the floor because that could potentially be cumbersome. The player can now purchase upgrades and weapons and ammo whenever they want in the in-game store, using credits. But they don’t need to worry about inventory space, which has the added advantage of being faster and also because the player doesn’t need to manage their inventory, they can automatically pick up items. So, they can walk over guns and they’re automatically picked up as opposed to having to tap them. Those are just a few examples of how we’ve streamlined controls – we’ve still got the Deus Ex feel, but [what we’ve done] makes the experience a lot more friendlier for the touch screen environment.

Deus Ex The Fall screen 2

It sounds like you’ve looked at the platform and tried to accentuate the positives and tried to hide the negatives in order to bring the series to mobile.

I think its interesting as well because some things translate really easily. Things like the door keypads and the hacking, we didn’t have to change a single thing because they work very well in a tactile environment.

Now, the merits of micro-transactions are constantly being brought into question and in previous interviews you have said that there are in-app purchases in Deus Ex: The Fall, but they are optional, is that correct?

Yes, that’s entirely correct. The way Deus Ex: The Fall works is [that] there is not one piece of content which is locked behind a pay-wall. You play through the game once, which will take five [or] six hours and obviously you won’t be able to see everything because there’s certain ways of doing things and [different] dialogue choices and different outcomes. So, when you finish the game once, you then unlock new game plus mode [which] is a harder, more challenging mode. [When playing new game plus mode] you get to keep all of your items, credits, augmentations, weapons, everything. So, doing it this way, you can play again and keep accruing credits and items and you can unlock every single piece of content within the game. So, we reckon its going to be about three play throughs in order to do that. After the initial purchase from the App Store, you don’t need to put another penny in to see all of the game’s content. There are in-app purchases, so if the player wanted to put real world money in, in order to accelerate their play experience, they could. But the game is designed so that people don’t have to put any additional money in.

Deus Ex The Fall screen 6

When you say “accelerate their experience”, would players get praxis points, or certain weaponry in Deus Ex: The Fall? What exactly are these in-app purchases for?

The game works with credits, like Deus Ex. So, you accrue credits from completing missions, or just picking them up [within the game world] and you can use those credits within the in-game store to buy praxis kits, weapons, ammo, whatever. So, when the player uses real world money, they increase the amount of credits they’ve got. The player can then spend those credits as they see fit.

Of course, it would be remiss of me not to address the controversy around the game’s announcement in early June. Obviously, a lot of Deus Ex fans took to various forums to express their displeasure in The Fall being revealed as a game for mobiles and tablets. Is the team feeling any particular pressure from diehard fans that have been there since the original Deus Ex, or even people that have been with the series since 2011’s Human Revolution?

Well, I think the reaction was understandable. You’ve got people that are PC gamers [and] console gamers and they wanted a continuation of the series on PC and console. Deus Ex: The Fall doesn’t really detract – and I can’t really talk too much about this – but it doesn’t really detract too much from any other thing that we might be doing. But, it is something that we’re exploring in terms of bringing Deus Ex to a wider audience. One of the reasons that we’ve taken such a lot of time and care in creating a Deus Ex experience is that we didn’t want to disappoint new players and we certainly didn’t want to disappoint fans by having something that wasn’t Deus Ex. We totally understand how people are feeling and for us, we’re really humbled and honoured that we’ve got such a passionate fan base for the franchise. That’s an amazing thing to have.

For us, the reaction that we’ve had from journalists and also from some hardcore fans that have played the game at hands-on sessions, like at E3 for example – the initial response has been pretty positive, actually. All we can say to these people is that it’s great they have this passion, it’s totally understandable. Sure, give The Fall a go, have a play, if they don’t like it, then fine. We totally respect their opinion, but as I say, it’s not necessarily at the detriment of any other future Deus Ex game being on any other platform.

Is the Deus Ex diehard who happens to have an iPhone, or iPad the target audience with The Fall, or is Square Enix looking to bring in the Angry Birds crowd to the Deus Ex franchise?

I wouldn’t necessarily look at it as types of player, like that. I think its more of a platform. We have not made this game to appeal to people who would only play Angry Birds. This game has been made so that we can reach the audience who play on smartphone and tablet devices and bring Deus Ex to them. It’s still very much a game where it requires a skill to play, it requires time to play. It’s not a casual game, it hasn’t been dumbed down, it hasn’t been simplified. It is a game that people who like playing games, and gamers, will want to play. We haven’t turned around and said, “let’s make Deus Ex for the Angry Birds crowd”. That’s absolutely not the intention.

Previously to The Fall being announced, you had the April Fools joke of Deus Ex: Human Defiance. Some people saw the humour in it and it did produce a very funny video, but it only incited fans’ rage, a little bit more. Now, they will get to play Deus Ex: The Fall and they can make up their own mind on the game, then. But, the April Fools joke – one question I did want to ask you was that Eidos Montreal were looking for 250,000 likes on Facebook to “make it happen”. Currently, it’s sitting at 170,000 likes. Could you shed some light on Deus Ex: Human Defiance. Is that a project that Eidos Montreal are currently working on? Is this the console and PC sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

Deus Ex Human Defiance

I can’t comment on any other console sequel or anything really, other than The Fall, right now. All I can say is that, in terms of Human Defiance, if it’s a game that people want to see, maybe in terms of that video, then sure, like the Facebook page, send Eidos Montreal some mail and maybe…let’s see. I think there’s a few [members] of the creative team that would love to make that game, but obviously the interest would have to be there.

I think there’s a few fans that would like to see it too, James.

But, in terms of actual, full-on console sequels or PC sequels, I can’t confirm anything on those fronts, today.

There is one final question that we do ask all interviewees. It’s also probably the most pressing and sweat inducing question. Do you keep your tomato ketchup in the fridge or the cupboard?

I think it’s a really good question, actually. I’ve always kept my ketchup in the fridge. I think there’s something that when the ketchup is in the cupboard, in my mind, its attracting hairs, so I definitely feel like the ketchup in the fridge is the more hygenic way of keeping ketchup.

Original Message I've been considering this stuff lately and I just bought a book on channeling. I'm going to wait another month or so before I start because I'll be in a new apartment and I'm going to make my room my meditation space.
I am a pretty scientific person, but for some reason, I feel that there is something to channeling and meditation that wil allow you to percieve the higher planes.
I've felt the tingling sensation as energy rises up my spine when I'm listening to certain music and my emotional state is raised. I would like to learn how to raise this vibration higher and possibly contact my higer self or a spirit guide.
Is there anyone who has tried this before and can you tell me what your experience was?

Truth and Rumors: Harrington loses small fortune, Appleby shoots 59, Turning Stone exec comes to senses

Monday August 2nd, 2010

Unlucky Investment Padraig Harrington, winner of three majors and the No. 15 player in the world, made one very unfortunate investment, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

Golf champion Padraig Harrington has lost around €4m in a failed investment in a UK technology firm, according to a recently filed court document seen by the Sunday Independent.

An administrator's progress report, placed before the High Court in Bristol in the UK in June, shows Harrington lost £3,361,716 through his investment in U4EA.

While the popular golfer, who is participating in 3 Irish Open in Killarney this weekend, is expected to earn a multiple of his reported wealth before his playing days are over, the loss of €4m is likely to be painful.

Last year, Harrington quashed rumours he had lost significant sums of money as a result of the economic downturn. "Nasty things have been said about me and I really don't want to lend credence to them by making any comment. For instance, one of the tabloids wanted to know if it was true that I had lost €20m in investments with (Bernie) Madoff, (Allen) Stanford and a few others. They were obviously keen to cover all the bases.

"The answer is that I haven't lost greatly in any ventures. I will not suggest that I was immune from everything, but nothing has happened that has had any material effect on me, financially."

Going Low Sydney Morning Herald's couldn't have come at a better time
He was walking before the last putt dropped in, a curler from just beyond three metres. It was always going in, it was that kind of day. And with that, Stuart Appleby stepped into the golfing stratosphere.
A final-round 59, making him only the fifth player to have broken 60 on the US PGA Tour, gave Appleby victory in the $US6 million ($6.6m) Greenbier Classic in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, the Australian's first win on tour since 2006.

"We spend so much time trying to have rounds like today," Appleby said. "Forget whether it's a 50-something, you're just trying to have rounds where you're scaring the hole. And when you do and they drop, it's a pleasant feeling. You just never seem to get enough of them."

The irony is that he has been enduring the toughest stretch of his career; indeed his future was being questioned. Appleby failed to secure his tour playing card after finishing 147th on the money list last year, and had to use an exemption for being in the top 15 on the all-time money list to keep his playing rights.

Astonishingly this was his 11th tournament in as many weeks, for until now he has not had the luxury of stopping. In 23 previous tournaments this season - that number is a full season's worth for most players - he had just two top-10 finishes and missed the cut 11 times. His world ranking had slid to 159th against career-highs in the teens, and he needed to keep playing to make some cash since only the top 125 on the money list go through to the next season.

Appleby said the win had "given some real valid weight to the time you spend on the range frustrated, and there's plenty of that."

Bowing Out wisely changed his mind
Ray Halbritter is the CEO of Nation Enterprises and, consequently, the boss of the Turning Stone Resort. By being the big cheese at the title sponsor of next week's Turning Stone Resort Championship, he thought he would insert himself into the field as a sponsor's exemption.

Why not exempt yourself from the tournament your company - and ultimately you - decided to sink millions of dollars into sponsoring?

Well, despite passing the PGA Playing Ability Test to meet minimum requirements for an exemption, Halbritter drew a plethora of criticism from all comers for his decision to take a spot away from a professional seeking a crack at the four million dollar purse. This evening, Halbritter issued a statement announcing his withdrawal from the tournament.

"My intention in qualifying to be eligible to play in our Turning Stone Resort Championship was to participate in a competitive opportunity which any golfer would enjoy. In addition, given the responsibilities of my position as I mentioned in some interviews on the exemption issue, I wanted to use the platform afforded by our event to show the public, particularly American Indian youth, what can be accomplished by someone with a challenging background who puts his mind and heart into it."

Lift, clean and place allowed for first round of BMW

CARMEL, Ind. – Lift, clean and place will be allowed Thursday during the first round of the BMW Championship. Tournament officials announced the news an hour before the first group teed off at Crooked Stick.

The Indianapolis area received a lot of rain over the weekend and Wednesday’s pro-am round was delayed for over an hour when more rain dumped on the course mid-afternoon. Robert Garrigus told late Wednesday that he didn’t hit a shot during the pro-am that didn’t end up with mud on his ball.

      Hi Pete,

      Welcome to our forum.

      You are ahead of the game knowing how long it takes to perform the job. How much do you charge per hour?

      Can you then take that figure and multiply it by the amount of hours it takes you to perform?

        I agree with Steve i usually charge 40 an hour so it'd be around 180

        • #5
          I noticed that you had no bed work or hedge trimming involved. this would be considered a basic package I would suggest pricing it out at a lower hourly rate. for example round up your time to 5 hours and charge 25.00 per hour that is 500.00 per month. I wish we could get top dollar for a basic package but the chances of that are slim to none. Basic mowing in my area is going for 20.00 per acre figure out your job by the acre and I bet its close to 500 per month.

          I turned down a big mowing job like this just because the money did not fit my time.
          If you can't be good..Be good at it!
