BM: What were your favorite species while you were there? Avian or otherwise.
BM: Give us an idea of the diversity – what is your take on the avifauna there and the general wealth of biodiversity. New Guinea has a reputation.
BF: Tropical humid forests contain the majority of terrestrial vertebrate diversity on Earth, and this diversity is especially pronounced in tropical mountains, as the bird communities (and plants, and mammals etc etc) completely change as you change elevation. For example, the birds we observed at 2400 m were 100% different from the birds we observed at 200 m. This kind of diversity is emotionally exciting, perhaps especially to biologists, but also I think to most people. There are just so many species, and you consistently find new species at a given site, even after two or three full days. It’s a bit like being in a candy store — the candy store is emotionally exciting because of its tremendous diversity — different candies everywhere you look! It wouldn’t be as intriguing if the whole store was just full of tootsie rolls…So I think diversity in and of itself is stimulating, certainly to biologists, and PNG is certainly home to a huge amount of biodiversity. It’s also the biggest expanse of tropical forest left in SE Asia. PNG’s forests have numerous threats — massive logging and mining projects run by foreign multinationals – but so much of it is so remote that it seems a promising place for conservation actions that also have strong social benefits, like the YUS project.
BM: Did you see evidence impacts from climate change or other human influences in the places you visited?
BM: What were some challenges of the work?
BF: It was obviously very remote. One big challenge was finding water, and enough of it. The local guys drank very little, but I need a gallon or so of drinking water per day when I’m working in a hot, humid environment. Plus water for cooking, washing dishes and at least a little bit of bathing. Finding water was surprisingly hard — at one field camp the nearest flowing water was 45 minutes hard walk downhill! We’ll just say we went easy on the bathing at this camp… Luckily the lowland field camps generally had small rivers nearby to bathe in daily.
BM: What’s next? Where are you now? What’s in your future?
BF: I’m now starting a Ph.D program in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University. Alexa finished her Ph.D. in ecology at Virginia Tech in December 2009, she’s writing grants to get a post-doc studying reproductive physiology of birds. I’m hoping to study the diversity of tropical mountains for my dissertation (possibly in PNG, possibly in the Andes); why are elevational distributions so narrow in the tropics?

I have to tell I’m a tricky customer.
Having been involved in the process of virtual purchasing for very long time already, I still can’t pass up a haunting feeling that the item I’ve properly obtained with my own legitimately earned cash will be handed over to me quite a few months after making the payment. Or it will be passed in proper time but putting it into use will induce an unexpexted rash on my skin. Or I will end up fighting a steady weird stench that stays for weeks and comes along me and my closest ones wherever we go. Or it will even fall apart in my hands making me bewildered, upset, and mislead, which is strikingly disguisting when the product was purchased with an intention to be used as a present or something like that.
So I presume it’s not that confusing to figure it out how tremendously triumphant and happy I felt when the Mini Vintage Metal Plane Model Aircraft Glider Biplane Aeromodelo Airplane Model Kids Toys Home Office Christmas Decoration I purchasef from the website was delivered in my hands just 22 days after the payment transaction. It wasn’t busted or incomplete or kind of that, it was wrapped in an accurate manner, and following the results of an in-depth test it looks like the product is working faultlessly, just as it is supposed to. It looks exceptional, it smells normal, it feels pleasant, so, generally speaking, the money I paid didn’t go for nothing.
Had it not been asquired as a present, I would readily find Mini Vintage Metal Plane Model Aircraft Glider Biplane Aeromodelo Airplane Model Kids Toys Home Office Christmas Decoration a proper use in my own apartment but I suppose it makes just an awesome reason to acquireone more sometime in days to come.
And of course, it’s more than obligatory to remark that theprice is absolutely sensible, and the purchase, on the whole, shows a good value for the money. I’m thankful to the seller!
To my great happiness, the item exceeded all my diverse expectations and appeared to be a tremendous bargain.
Home » Ask a Bible Teacher » Am I Saved?
I have a question. I have prayed many times and asked the Lord to save me. However at times I feel like I must live right to be saved which I know is wrong but I don’t know how to stop. Plus I want to do things that I know is sin because it is fun even though I know it is wrong. Do you have any suggestions? Am I even saved?
Every believer experiences conflict of this sort. The feelings about living right come from the Holy Spirit prompting you to live in a way that pleases the Lord as a way of expressing your gratitude for the free gift of salvation. Paul called it living up to what we have already attained (Phil. 3:16).
The important thing to remember is that salvation is by faith. In other words, it depends on your belief in what Jesus did for you, (John 3:16) not on what you can do for yourself.
Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matt. 7:7-8) This means everyone who sincerely asks for salvation receives it. Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:4-7 all confirm that if you’ve sincerely asked the Lord to save you, then He has done so.

Character and convenience are two strong selling points for the new Revolution Mill Apartments in Greensboro.
No two units are exactly alike. In fact, Revolution Mill leasing representative Meredith Frye said 26 different floor plans are among the 140 units. And even if a unit is among the eight “most-common” floor plans, it has its own unique characteristics, whether it’s the outline of a bricked-over service elevator on the wall or pipes and duct work below the 15-20-foot high ceilings.
Since opening at the beginning of February, the former textile mill, about two miles north of downtown Greensboro, has welcomed 30 residents on its two levels. Another 30 are signed and will move in soon. A similar number are available to residents eligible for reduced rent.
The 50-acre Revolution Mill property, once home of the South's largest flannel mill, is hoped to become an attraction and a showcase for redevelopment. The former mill was purchased for redevelopment by Self-Help Ventures Fund in 2012.
Under the same roof as several offices, the apartment section has its own secure entrances. At least three restaurants have committed to the mill, including Natty Greene’s Kitchen + Market, a spin-off of the brew pub and brewery, and Cugino Forno Pizzeria, offering Neapolitan-style pizza, scheduled to open before the end of March.
Apartment attractions include the high ceilings and new windows modeled after the originals that measure either 10 or 15 feet in height and offer tremendous light. Each unit has restored brick walls with wood beams and steel light fixtures hanging from the ceiling as well as modern kitchens.
Rent is $915 to $945 for one-bedroom units, and $1,150 for two-bedroom units. All units have one bathroom.
The spacious hallways are climate controlled with original brick and beams. A courtyard planned as a gathering spot and a venue for shows is under construction.

Southwest Grilled Chicken – Three ingredients and a hot grill are all that’s needed to add a taste of the southwest to tacos, fajitas, salads, and more.
I have the easiest of recipes for you today – Easy Southwest Grilled Chicken. All it takes is three ingredients and a hot grill to give you a taste of the southwest. You’ll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts, olive oil, and southwest seasoning. While you can use store-bought southwest seasoning, my preference is to make my own. If you haven’t mixed up any southwest seasoning yet, now is the perfect time to try our recipe here. Then, come back and use it for this southwest grilled chicken.
I make this often from spring to fall, and freeze some of it for the winter months for use in soups, sandwiches, or salads. After grilling you can slice it, dice it, shred it, or serve it as-is with your choice of sides. My family likes using southwest grilled chicken for tacos, fajitas, or to top a green salad.
The chicken can be prepped ahead of time, 30 minutes before grilling or even overnight for more flavor. This makes it an easy supper to prepare when you get home after a busy day out.
Southwest Grilled Chicken - Three ingredients and a hot grill are all that's needed to add a taste of the southwest to tacos, fajitas, salads, and more.
In a plastic zipper bag, mix together the olive oil and southwest seasoning. Add chicken, seal bag, and knead all ingredients together till southwest seasoning mixture is evenly distributed around the chicken breasts. Let sit in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
Preheat and prepare grill. Place marinated chicken breasts on grill and cook at medium heat, turning and flipping chicken every 1 to 2 minutes until chicken is done and reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Remove from grill and cover with a tent of aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
Cooked chicken may be sliced, diced, or shredded, and then frozen in air-tight freezer bags for future use.
Looks yummy, easy, and nutritious! May try this tonight!

Today’s post is a quick one, but I am really quite proud of this and needed to show it off.
It sat in my workshop for a while until one day I looked at it in the right light, at the right angle and saw it… doesn’t that side piece look like something…. do you see it too?
I hope Levi’s jeans isn’t offended, though I think her grandson’s going to love it… how about you?
A few before and afters….
Lo-oooove how you funk-ified this table. I think Levi Jeans will be flattered.
Thanks Susan! I tagged them on Twitter so I guess we’ll see….
PE Coach lets service people and veterans suffering from PTSD to assess symptoms, record therapy sessions, receive reminders and more.
The military has released a new mobile app designed for post-traumatic stress disorder patients in a therapy known as prolonged exposure.
PE Coach was developed by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs and offers users a mobile way of assessing symptoms, recording therapy sessions, receiving reminders for homework and appointments and learning more about PTSD.
The app is available on Apple and Android devices, but is advised for use only when a patient is receiving professional prolonged exposure therapy.
That type of treatment focuses on "exposure practice," or approaching situations the patient has been avoiding because they seem unsafe or are related to the trauma that brought on PTSD. For veterans, this might include avoiding crowded public places or congested traffic. The treatment also involves revisiting the traumatic memory with a clinician in order to learn how to better handle the stressful feelings that it raises.
Part of the therapy, Dr. Greg Reger, a clinical psychologist at DOD's National Center for Telehealth and Technology, told NBC News, is recording each therapy session and listening to it daily in order to overcome fear around those situations. Traditionally, Reger said, patients would leave an appointment with CD recordings and several sheets of paper to help complete daily homework assignments that include confronting an anxiety-inducing scenario.
"Our patients don’t avoid (homework assignments) because they don’t want to get better," Reger said, "but any inconvenience provides an excuse not to do something even if it helps you get better."
Patients, for example, might find it difficult to listen to the recording if the only CD player available to them is in a car. They might also feel self-conscious about taking notes in public after going into a crowded mall or driving through rush hour traffic, but PE Coach allows a patient to type descriptions directly into the phone. The app, Reger said, is a "dramatic shift" in how convenient it is to stick to daily therapy.
Since a quiet pre-release in March, the app has been downloaded more than 2,000 times. A separate DOD and VA app called PTSD Coach, which was designed for wide use, has been downloaded more than 66,000 times since last year.
Reger said the app would be used by many VA and DOD mental health clinicians who are trained in prolonged exposure therapy.
The ability of the app to capture the homework data, even time-stamping when a patient listened to the therapy recordings, helps clinicians monitor the success of the treatment in ways he or she couldn't do before, Reger said.
"We want to celebrate the response they’ve had because of their hard work."
