For Christian Ponder, it will be a pass completion the Vikings quarterback will never forget, the throw that -- along with Adrian Peterson's closing 26-yard run -- set up the winning field goal that gave his team a victory over the Packers and put it into the playoffs.
The situation was this: The score was 34-34 at the two-minute warning, the Vikings had third-and-11 on their own 27, and the threat of having to punt and give Green Bay the ball back and a chance to win was looming over their heads.
At that point, Ponder completed certainly one of the most important passes of his life, a 25-yard throw to Michael Jenkins down the left sideline for a first down. They followed that with three Peterson runs -- the first two getting them into long field-goal territory for Blair Walsh, the third a big run that set up a 29-yard kick as time expired to win the game.
The Vikings were able to keep the ball out of the hands of great Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who -- considering the way he was going, with six scores in Green Bay's final seven possessions -- certainly would have put his team in position to kick a winning field goal.
Peterson was the big star of the game, rushing 34 times for 199 yards, just 9 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's record. But Ponder's hot day -- his 120.2 quarterback rating was the best of his NFL career -- had a lot to do with setting up the great runs by his superstar back.
Ponder, who for the fourth game in a row had led the Vikings to a score on their first possession, threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns Sunday. He paid tribute to the wide receivers, a position on the team that had been criticized by many time and time again for being a big weakness.
Obviously, the group isn't the same without the injured Percy Harvin. But what has helped the receivers' production has been the play of fourth-round draft choice Jarius Wright, who once again came up big late in the season.
Wright not only caught an 8-yard pass for a touchdown in the second quarter, but he also had a huge 65-yard catch in the fourth quarter after the Packers had tied the score the first time, setting up a go-ahead touchdown.
In the earlier Vikings loss at Green Bay, Ponder's two red-zone interceptions had played a big part in the loss. But Sunday the Vikings didn't turn the ball over once.
"It was a team victory," Ponder said. "All of the receivers were great. And what can you say about Adrian Peterson?"
Ponder said his play-action passes were so successful because the Packers' top goal was to stop Peterson.
"We saw a lot of blitzes up the middle and a lot of safeties down in the box to stop the run," Ponder said. "We knew that. It set up the play-action. A quarterback's best friend is the running game, and Adrian Peterson is a good one."
Ponder was asked if it has sunk in that the team is in the playoffs. "Not yet," he said. "I'm proud of it. But like I said before, we are not done. You are not going to be happy if you are sitting home next week."
Ponder has been the subject of a lot of criticism during some of his tough times this season, but he seemed to find himself over the final four games.
"You have to be mentally tough and have thick skin to play the position," Ponder said. "But everyone knows that and they kind of go into the position knowing that, and it comes with the territory. We [quarterbacks] do get a lot of credit when we win, and it's the opposite the other way.
"But I think as a quarterback you have to understand that you can never get too high or too low. Externally things are going to change, but I think what matters most is how we deal with things internally within the organization. It's a tough position. I enjoy it."
And he never enjoyed it more than Sunday.Short of record
Peterson said it was a bittersweet feeling when he realized he was just short of breaking the NFL record.
"The first thing that came to my mind when I heard that I was 9 yards short was that, 'It is what it is. It wasn't meant to happen.' Not to say it doesn't hurt, because it does," Peterson said. "Ultimately, we came here tonight and accomplished the ultimate goal of getting a win and taking our team into the playoffs."
Asked if he knew any time during the game what his numbers were, Peterson answered: "I never knew. I wasn't worried about it. I told myself to come to this game and focus on one thing, winning and doing my job and to contribute to the running and passing game. If it happened it would come to me, but I didn't want to focus on it at all. I went out and played my game and accomplished what we wanted to. We're in now. We are in the playoffs. We get to fight another week."Walsh big contributor
Walsh has to be one of the big stories in Vikings team history. Not many rookies have come in and done what the sixth-round draft pick has done.
Sunday, in addition to the winning field goal, he also kicked field goals of 54 and 37 yards besides booming the kickoffs into the end zone almost every time.
Walsh said the winning field goal, the one that put the Vikings in the playoffs, was just another one for him, and he didn't feel any different when he went on the field to try it.
"No, I just go out there and try another kick," he said. "I knew what it was. I am not going to ignore it and fight what the kick means, but you have to go out there and try to have fun with it. There is definitely less pressure when the game is tied [rather than trailing], but there is still a lot of pressure because you have to make it."
The story has been told before: Vikings coaches had scouting reports on the great junior year Walsh had at Georgia, but he slipped as a senior, making only 21 of 35 attempts. But that didn't keep the Vikings from drafting him and giving him the kicking job over veteran Ryan Longwell.
All he did as a rookie was make 35 of 38 field goals, set an NFL record by making 10 attempts from at least 50 yards and get selected to the Pro Bowl.
Walsh said he didn't have any idea he would have this great of a season when he was drafted.
"When I came in, all I wanted to be is dependable for the team, and I think I have done that so far," he said. "Now is when it really counts that we are in the playoffs."

Knees-up now for Kirsten after pioneering operation
06 May 2015
After a head-on car crash, driver Kirsten Pitman faced the prospect of life in a wheelchair when specialists told her she would have great difficulty when walking.
The extent of the knee trauma she had suffered in the crash, coupled with a two-month bed-bound stay in East Surrey Hospital afterwards, offered a bleak prognosis, doctors told her.
But a decade later, Kirsten is fully mobile, even going on skiing holidays and participating in Zumba classes, after participating in trials of a procedure undertaken at Spire Gatwick Park Hospital to resurface the knee with indigenous cartilage.
Consultant orthopaedic and knee surgeon Mr George Tselentakis from Spire Gatwick Park Hospital has a special interest in all aspects of knee surgery including new biological treatments of cartilaginous defects and he was at the time one of the local investigators in a multicentre trial studying the efficacy of chondrocyte implantation.
"The procedure has changed my life," said a delighted Kirsten. "From potentially being wheelchair-bound to being able to go to the gym, run, ski and take regular Zumba classes.
"I can't thank Spire Gatwick Park Hospital and Mr Tselentakis enough. I was most impressed with the hospital staff throughout my stay and during the follow-ups. They really helped relieve the pressure and take my mind off the operation, particularly when I was taken down to theatre."
At the time of the accident, Kirsten was looking forward to getting married the following year. "I thought I was never going to walk down the aisle unaided but I managed it and even invited Mr Tselentakis to the wedding."
She continues: "Mr Tselentakis explained how the ACI procedure is done in two stages – the first, a 30-minute keyhole procedure, when a cartilage biopsy is taken from the knee, before the cells are grown on to a membrane in the lab. The second, hour-long procedure is to implant the cartilage cells to replace the missing tissue.
"Every week after the operation I was back and forth to the hospital for physio to strengthen the muscles and for at least six months had to avoid any high impact activities," she said.
A year after the surgery an arthroscopic examination was performed and biopsy was taken from the newly formed cartilage. The biopsy confirmed that the new tissue formed was like normal cartilage and at that stage Kirsten was discharged to her normal activities.
Kirsten then returned for further monitoring once or twice a year for the next three years and once a year after that, Kirsten recalls.
For anyone considering a similar operation, Kirsten stresses: "Listen to the advice and make sure you do the exercises given. Sometimes it is hard to be motivated to carry on with them but stick with it and keep going."
Patients who suffer from symptoms of pain and reduced function due to cartilaginous defects affecting the femur (thigh bone) and have not responded to other lesser treatments could be suitable for the ACI procedure, Mr Tselentakis points out: "The procedure can be considered as an option to deal with isolated defects of articular cartilage of the knee given that cartilage does not have the biological capacity for self-repair."
Currently Spire Gatwick Park Hospital and Mr Tselentakis are collaborating with European laboratories and scientists to develop new methods and advance current cellular treatments for cartilaginous defects as well as early arthritic conditions.

Just like back in August, Wizards of the Coast has laid off employees today. Rumors are still swirling about the number of employees affected, though around 24 seems the prevailing estimate. According to a post at ENWorld by Paizo CEO Lisa Stevens, today's layoffs include the following:
With today's staff cuts, WotC joins Upper Deck in having a pair of layoff rounds this year alone. While this has some gamers wondering if the layoffs are caused by D&D 4e being less successful than expected, others mention similar cuts made shortly after the release of 3.0 and 3.5.
Not Noonan! Noooooo. But I need him for my DnD Podcasts!
Bad news all around. Best of luck to them all.
What the HECK!!! they fired game designers??!! Both are good caliber too. Man, that is nuts. Poor folks. Best wishes to them.
Digital Gaming? They have digital games? Oh, whats that called. that social network thing.
They have Magic: The Gathering Online which makes them big bucks.
Anyway, I have a hard time believing Tweet and Beuhler were laid off. They must have had something else in the wings and agreed to go. If those two guys can get sacked, then there is no one safe at WotC.
Monte Cook has commented on the layoff as well. An interesting quote:
From a larger perspective than just yesterday, it's become clear that WotC's become a company that not only doesn't value experience, it avoids it. (And looks at least somewhat disdainfully, rather than fondly, upon its own past.) […] There's a real danger of losing continuity with these kinds of layoffs. Dangers involving making old mistakes and not remembering what was learned in old lessons.
>It does make a kind of sense to staff up for heavy development periods and then slim down >once the heavy lifting is done;
It would make sense — if that's what were happening. But these are oldtimers — especially the designers — that date back to before Hasbro in some cases. This isn't cutting the fat — we're deep into muscle at this point. I hope to hell Noonan and Tweet had something else lined up (as well as all the others).
I have no idea if this is, or is not, true, but a close colleague of mine at one time, recently, worked at Hasbro (not WOTC). He said, in terms of corporate culture, designers at Hasbro are treated as a disposable commodity, and marketing is the king of the castle. While there's a finite supply of analog game designers, there's also finite opportunities for them and they're usually not well-positioned to make demands. Where there's a large supply of MBAs with marketing experience there's also many opportunities at bigger and better paying companies than at a Rhode Island toy manufacturer.
The reverse of this has been the case at WOTC, he said, where, until recently, R&D ran the show for no other reason than that's how the company was founded and management never pressed this issue.
With a new President coming from Hasbro ranks it's probably safe to assume that R&D has been "put in their place," akin to the role R&D has at many companies; locked in the basement, people who are to be seen, not heard.
Can WOTC get away with that?
Of course they can. If someone in R&D is disgruntled and wants to storm off, to where will they storm? The number of /full-time-with-benefits/ jobs designing pen & paper RPGs in the United States probably numbers in the very low 3 digits – perhaps less than 100 even? And what percentage of those are controlled by WOTC? And what percentage of the remaining have much turnover?
They what? Jonathan Tweet?
Sorry to see both Andrew Finch and Jonathan Tweet go. I know Andrew was hip-deep in Dreamblade, and the collapse of that probably didn't sit well with folks. But maybe we'll see the updated version of Theatrix now. 🙂
I'm sure Jonathan will land somewhere; he's too good a designer not to, though I suspect he'll take a breather first if he can.
As someone who owns 14 shares of Hasbro I do feel for everyone who was let go, but, hey, I just made $2.80 out of the deal!

A professor from Finchley University, in Barnham-on-Wick, has warned Cornwall Council against further house building, advising the council that the extra weight from inward migration could tear Cornwall away from England, leaving the region to drift off into the Atlantic.
Professor Morton, Head of Environmental Physics at Finchley University said: "The Tamar is essentially a tear between two land masses, held together by the top end. But any extra weight could widen the gap and see Cornwall drift off into the Atlantic.

One of the first issues that you will want to think about before you reuse any of your electronics can be your security. This really is something that is usually overlooked and it may be to your hindrance if you do not eliminate your personal info from the electronics prior to they are remade. It is also essential for you to think about the possibility in which, even though you get rid of your information, it is going to still be obtainable. That is extremely true when you're style hard drives about computers prior to they are reused. Although you may struggle to access the data, it may always be on the push and can be retrieved, if it is classified as wrong fingers. The same often happens for various other electronics, including cellular phones.
You also have to consider who had previously been going to go ahead and take electronics that you not need. There could be times when you should call upon carrying services which will dispose of the particular electronics in a way that is going to be safe and environmentally sound. With regard to smaller products, such as normal rechargeable batteries and mobile phones, you can generally take them for your local Biggest score store. You will need to note, not every retailer near your home that has electronic backpacks is going to be offered to offer these recycling of those things. It is a good plan for you to refer to them as in advance, specifically if you are going through your way to delete the electronic digital item.
Have you investigated the possibility of offering the item? When the item is not really usable, it's advisable if it is basically recycled but when it is only employed and you are basically upgrading, it can be able to do some really good. Various charitable groups will take these things off of both your hands and sell all of them, turning most of the profit onto a charitable organization. It is important that you can look into these types of charities beforehand, however, due to the fact not all of options are going to give you the bulk of the amount of money that is given from the digital items to the particular charities they support.
To be able you can see there are numerous options which are open to you in terms of recycling your current electronics. If there are too little options locally, you can utilize the Internet since there are many different web sites which will get those items from your hand and do a little good together.

I know it's still a few days away, but I'm really looking forward to this one. It's heavyweights all night, should see some brutal KO's!
Topping the bill is the Fury vs McDermot rematch, that should be electric, the last was a great fight.
Big Larry Obobululululu is also fighting in what they are trying to promote as another British title eliminator. A few decent up and comers who I've not really seen much of will also be fighting, so should make for a good night.
It's the most I've looked forward to a domestic card for ages

British artist Basil Beattie is amongst the most respected abstract artists worldwide and has been described as "one of the most significant of bridges in the generations of contemporary abstract painters" (Nick de Ville). His career spans the emergence of abstract expressionism in the UK in the late 1950's through to a more recent emphases on the ambiguities of signification and ironies of reference that have dominated visual art practice since the 1980s. Beattie's work was showcased in a Tate Britain display in 2007, which featured major acquisitions of his work made over the last 20 years, and his work is held in many public collections throughout UK.
Beattie's works invest strongly in the physicality of the painted object, however the expressive gesture colludes with a range of visual references that can be understood as alluding to language. A signature aspect of his work is the use of recurrent pictographic 'signs', which draw on recognisable forms: tunnels, steps, ziggurats, ladders and doorways. With these he explores the formal propositions and technicalities of painting and the symbolic possibilities that arise through his use of motifs. Essentially ambiguous, these signs are – as the writer Mel Gooding describes them – 'thresholds' to an experience of the work that takes place in the subconscious.
Beattie's exhibition at Two Rooms is the first showing from a major new body of paintings: The Janus Series. Epic in scale and uncompromising in their use of simple pictorial devices and subtly restrained colour, these complex and resonant works show new developments in his work. Poised in their potential readings between landscape vistas of horizon lines, train tracks or ploughed scrub fields and formal plays of line, space and recesses within the pictures' surfaces; the meanings of these paintings reside ultimately in the physical reality of paint. Paint, in gobbets and drips that fall over the surface of the canvases, paint as articulate, eloquent graphic line, paint as mass and as absence. As their generic title suggests these works look forwards and back and are amongst the strongest and most resolute of Beattie's career.

January 2006 Excellent Reads
Book Review
Myrna Katz Frommer
Harvey Frommer
The wide range of quality books served up today by
publishers is truly amazing. There seems a book for every taste, a book
for every budget. All we need is more room on our coffee tables or
bookcases to house them all.
Vincent Van Gogh: The Drawings is a truly beautiful book
showcasing 120 works by the great artist. We are there with him as he
worked in ink, graphite, watercolor and diluted oils. This is a book that
truly brings back a time and a place and preserves it for all time for all
those who are interested in one of the most important of self taught
The international best seller A Little History of the
World can be thought of a true fairy tale about how mankind has evolved.
As the book's press release notes: E.H. Gombrich was a "writer of
panoramic erudition." That he was, telling, in 40 short and beautifully
crafted chapters, the story of man.
Angel's World is one of the most unusual of books.
Author/photo historian Michael Lesy went through an archive of more than
60,000 images left to the Library of Congress by Angelo Rizzuto. The
result is this book, sad, compelling, arresting collection of 97 duotone
photographs left by the photographer who called himself Angel, who left a
run down apartment (even though he had a townhouse on Manhattan's East
Side) every day at two in the afternoon to photograph New York City, New
Yorkers and himself. If you have any interest in photography or New York,
this book is a must have.
1001 Golf Holes You Must Play Before You Die contains
more than 650 full color photos of great golf holes around the globe. All
of these holes are historic and challenging venues – and the terrific tome
more than does than justice. There are 18 chapters with each one dedicated
to that hole number, how to play it and what it is like. This is a book
for all golfers –all sports fans. Remarkable.
NOTABLE: The Official 2006 Sports Fanatic's Walmanac
(800 625-3386, Ronnie Sellers Productions) is a must for those who want to
know the date and also get all kinds of fascinating sports trivia.

Lagwagon Bio:
Santa Barbara's pride and joy, Lagwagon have been belting 'em out since 1988. Their catchy brand of punk is an infectious blend of pop and hardcore, lyrically tackles an array of personal politics. Lagwagon is an original Fat band…in fact the first band Fat Mike signed! They've been with us since their very first record, Duh, which was released in 1992 and quickly followed up by their second album, Trashed. More records ensued, including their breakthrough, Hoss, their B-sides collection, Let's Talk About Leftovers, and their Live In A Dive installation. Ya see, after touring every corner of the globe Lagwagon decided that the next thing they had to do was release a live record so that ALL their fans could experience the mayhem. There are certain places so isolated that not even these ambitious pioneers can book a show there, and believe us on this one, we actually get fan mail from Siberia and Burma. Everyone can now enjoy the 'Wagon live and because we captured one of their sold-out and sweaty live shows on disc and released it in the form of the 22-song Live In A Dive album.
As the first band to sign to Fat Wreck Chords and the label's flagship since it's inception, Lagwagon continues to forge a unique path through today's complex musical landscape. The band maintains a sense of humor about their enviable longevity with the title of their latest offering, I Think My Older Brother Used to Listen to Lagwagon, but the content of the album is anything but laughable. Never satisfied to rest on their laurels or bask in the glory of past achievements, Lagwagon once again push the boundaries of genres formerly used to define them. The seven tracks on I Think My Older Brother Used to Listen to Lagwagon offer a multitude of layers displaying the band's proficiency through expert songwriting, introspective lyrics, and technical instrumentation. The band's vocalist/songwriter Joey Cape summed up the album succinctly by stating, " It's gonna change the world." We'd be foolish to argue.
This punky quintet has secured a massive following worldwide with their solid, tonal attack and hectic touring schedule. An endless touring schedule best describes Lagwagon, and while the members are extra busy with projects outside of the band—two are in Me First and the Gimme Gimmes—this latest EP will mark the return of Fat's flagship band. Be sure not to miss Lagwagon's fall tour with MXPX and Only Crime supporting.

Careerbuilders Monkey Challenge to Business Trip
Careerbuilder.com is planning to run "Business Trip", the latest instalment in the chimpanzees at work series designed for airing during the Super Bowl game on February 5, despite a campaign by Lincoln Park Zoo officials in Chicago to halt the commercial. The zoo officials are concerned that the images of the frolicking chimps in the Business Trip ad are undermining worldwide attempts to protect the endangered species.
Click on the image below to play the Business Trip video.
Dr Steve Ross, assistant director of Lincoln Zoo's Fisher Centre for the Study and Conservation of Apes, said, "If people see them that way they are less likely to try and conserve them. Individual chimps are being harmed and wild populations are being harmed by this frivolous use of an endangered species."
Dr Brian Hare, an assistant professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, is concerned about how a Super Bowl commercial, shown around the world, will persuade people in Africa, some desperately poor, to capture and sell the animals. "This advertisement teaches them there is a market for these animals, that there are some crazy people in America and Europe who would want them as pets," he said. "Even if there isn't a market, they think there's a market." That, he said, could devastate the wild population of chimpanzees that has already dwindled from more than one million to about 100 000.
Business Trip Credits
The Monkeys campaign, first developed at Cramer-Krasselt, Chicago in 2005, was revived in-house for 2011, by producer Ben Latimer, creative director/art director Matt McIntyre, creative director/copywriter Jeff Martin, chief marketing officer Richard Castellini and VP marketing Cynthia McIntyre.
Filming was shot by Bryan Buckley via Hungry Man with assistant director Craig Owens, director of photography Scott Henriksen, executive producers Dan Duffy, Kevin Byrne and Cindy Becker, line producer Mino Jarjoura, production designer Steve Ruggieri.
Animals were trained by Steve Martin at Steve Martin's Working Wildlife with trainers Chris Edrington and Keith Bauer.
Editor was John Dingfield at Beast Editorial, Chicago with assistant editor Matt Glover, producer Lauren Scheuer, executive producer Melissa Thornley.
Visual Effects were produced at The Mill by lead Flame artist Gavin Wellsman, colorist Fergus McCall, Flame artist Danny Morris, assistant Flame artist Gigi Ng, Albert Cok, Suzanne Dyer, Rosalind Paradis, junior assistant Flame artists Brian Houlihan and Randy Krueger, smoke artists Jeff Robins, Keith Sullivan and Tristian Wake, CG artists Jeff Dates and Sandor Tolado, producers Dan Roberts and Zu Al-Kadiri.
Sound was designed at Machine Head by sound designer Stephen Dewey and executive producer Patty Chow Dewey.
Music was produced at Emoto, Santa Monica, by composers Ryan Elder (Parking Lot), John Adair (Business Trip) and Paul Bessenbacher (Fire Safety), with executive producer Paul Schultz.
Audio post production was done at Another Country by mixer John Binder, assistant mixer Louise Rider, executive producer Tim Konn, and associate producer Cathi Fremer.
Interactive components were designed at Oddcast.

This is a topic that has been on my mind for a long time and now seems the right time to discuss it. I have been in many meetings with clients, mostly business people that want to implement a new business strategy, only to find that desire impaired by security or regulatory concerns. I work for an auditing company so I understand, and appreciate, the need for auditing, but when I hear that companies are not doing certain projects to keep themselves competitive, it makes me nervous. I'd hate to have to conclude that we have become a nation that lets security and regulations drive our innovation.
I want to turn your attention to a survey conducted by IDC and funded by the RSA, where 61 percent of the respondents indicated that they are control or compliance driven. Conversely, 21 percent said they considered security in their organizations to be business aligned.
It upsets me to no end when I hear that IT has become an impediment to a company doing business. The job of IT and security professionals is to help guide our business partners. I hear the word "no" way too many times in meetings when business people ask about certain technologies, such as Web 2.0.
Now in all fairness, we can't blame it all on the security people. There are many times when security has become an afterthought. According to the study, the three consequences of excluding security early in the process include:
An innovative project fails because of poor information access.
Information security risks associated with innovation initiatives are too high because security was not brought into the process.
Slower time to market and higher costs result when security needs to be bolted on as an afterthought.
As in everything else in life, we need a balance. In this case, we're looking for a balance of innovation, regulation, risks and costs. Security should become the conduit through which IT strikes this balance by explaining to the business partners, in plain English, the risks and costs of projects. Instead of being impediments, IT security professionals need to be the innovators.

As I was walking around my room one dull day hoping to clean up the towering mess I heard a faint squeal. It wasn't coming from inside my room so I started to investigate. As I turned over dreadful books and revolting clothes I saw the most bizarre thing. An insignificant, miniature, dumpy and tiny…THING. "Help me Help me! I Am so tiny!" It cried. It sounded so distant. Then It lifted up an incredible thick book. But HOW could something so tiny lift up that? I asked myself in shock. It was so curious that I nearly didn't realise that it had disappeared!

No Plans for Christmas: Lessons I'm Learning, part 2
Come they told me, a new born King to see. Our finest gifts we bring, to lay before the King so to honor Him, when we come.
Little Baby, I am a poor boy too. I have no gift to bring that's fit to give the King. Shall I play for you on my drum?
Mary nodded, the ox and lamb kept time. I played my drum for him, I played my best for Him. Then He smiled at me, me and my drum.
Picture with me a little poor boy. He's barely old enough to work to help support his family: maybe 9 or 10. His only talent is that he's got rhythm, so he walks the streets playing on his little drum, hoping to get paid for accompanying funerals or weddings or the like. One day he hears about this baby who is the talk of the town, so he goes to visit the child that was born in a barn. When he gets there, something in him connects immediately with this infant, and he wants to give the baby something special, or maybe a gift for the mother. But he has no money, in fact he still hasn't made anything today and he still needs to buy bread for his family before going home tonight. So he timidly asks the mother, "Would it be alright if I play my drum for him, just a little?" The mother nods and smiles at the boy, who then starts banging out a beat. It's a catchy beat, and he totally gets into it. The mother is tapping her toes. The baby in his mother's arms feels the rhythm from the drum, flowing through his mama, feels the motion in his mother's legs, and lets out a joyful baby giggle.
Isn't this what a life of faith is all about? Giving God whatever it is we have, whatever it is we enjoy, whatever it is we're going to do anyway! No more, no less: it's just living our lives, knowing that he's smiling down at us as we're smiling up at him.
This afternoon as I listed to the song for about the 47th time, I started to think of that classic film Chariots of Fire. One of the main characters, Eric Liddell, is a very religious man who is an extremely fast runner. The film makes it seem like he could run the sprinting competitions in the Olympics in his sleep. And this is what he says about running: "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure." He ends up a missionary in China, but before he goes to do that, he runs. Running is his way of smiling at God and he knows that he's being smiled upon as well.
I like that story because I love running. If I were racing Eric Liddell, he could probably start the 100 metre with a full kilometre's disadvantage and still beat me. I'm not a fast runner. But I love it, and I can relate to what Liddell said about it being a spiritual experience (but not the part about being fast).
This afternoon, thinking of the drummer boy who had nothing but his music, something he loved doing anyway, and Eric Liddell, I was so encouraged. Here I am in between jobs, not sure where I'll be in two day's time, and even less sure what I'll be doing. But that all fades in the everyday glory of living my life, doing the things that I can do, that I enjoy, and that I can do well. Like writing. Like running. Like visiting with friends. Then He smiled at me, me and my drum.

What a beautiful reminder. I've been thinking about the boy and his two loaves these days...sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all of the needs around me, but the Lord has been reminding me that I need only do what I can...offering what I have.
Many blessings to you!

oh kati, this is good. i hope that other imperfect readers took the time to come over here and read this... (with it being thanksgiving, people don't have a lot of time)... the drummer boy is my favorite christmas carol. and i love chariots of fire. and i needed to be reminded of this tonight. ((thank you, friend)) i love that you linked.

Thanks, Katie. I've never truly listened to the words before, and I love the little story and the images. The grandchildren (and their parents) left today and we are exhausted. I only lost my temper once, which was too much. But I do feel I played my drum for Him, for the grandchildren, and He smiled at me. Thanks for this thought, in our imperfections and fatigue. And enjoy Lebanon!!!

I loved this Katie,thanks for sharing it, it brought tears to my eyes and made me proud of you! This was a song our boys loved growing up and they would take turns playing their little fischer Price drum to it, it made ME smile and warms my heart to see them and you finding songs to play for God. He is pleased.

Best Movies Based on A Game
If you didn't know, some of the most iconic movies that you might love have been based on a computer game. These movies usually get a lot of critique from the people who have played the actual game on their computer because they see a lot of differences when compared. However, a movie cannot be completely the same as a computer game, therefore the directors of the movie have to change some little things and some people just don't like that. You should never hate a movie just because it is not completely the same as the game you have played. At the end, the movie and the game will have the same exact plot and that's what matters the most. However, there are few movies that got very positive reviews from fans, here are a couple of them.
- World of Warcraft is definitely on top of this list of best movies based on a game because the movie itself was something unique that we have never seen before. Usually, people and fans don't like to see new things implemented into their game, but with WoW this was different because the storyline was very flexible. Therefore, the fans didn't even capture the moments that were changed compared to the actual game. Overall it is a great movie and a great game, so if you haven't tried it out or watched it, make sure that you do because you won't regret it.
- Lara Croft: Tomb Raider this is an example of a movie that the majority people didn't know that was based on a video game. The movie was so exceptional that people didn't even think it was based on a game. This movie is one of the most iconic ones, there is no person who didn't see or at least heard of Lara Croft. The main actress Angelina Jolie has made this movie even better with her unique acting skills.
- Mortal Kombat is a game that every little kid was playing on their computers and their consoles. When they made a movie out of it, a lot of people were surprised because it is a martial arts game.

text: Add to lookbook Pin it! Aug 03, 2015 by Metricon This week we have the third and final recipe that was demonstrated by Hellenic Republic chef Travis McAuley at the recent Hellenic Flavours Masterclass held in the Metricon Smeg kitchen. Our host for the evening was interior stylist and blogger Chris Carroll (from The Life Creative) who managed to ask Travis a few questions in between the amazing food that Travis was preparing. When did you know you wanted to become a chef? "When I was younger, my Mum always got me to help out in the kitchen. It was something I always enjoyed doing and eventually became all I ever wanted to do. I decided to leave school in Year 11 to take up an apprenticeship and it all went from there." What do you like eating? "Pretty much everything - there's really not too much I don't eat. My meals could range from a very simple risotto to fresh crayfish. Just anything that's tasty." What is one ingredient can you not do without? "Definitely olive oil. I use it in everything - and lots of it." If you could have any food right now what would it be? "A really good steak. Always have it at room temperature before you cook it, season it well and don't overcook it". What are your favourite dishes to cook for family and friends? "I usually try to keep it really simple. I have two young children so it is always busy around dinner time. We try to do something simple, something we can do together. A simple risotto or roast always works quite well and it's something we know the kids will enjoy too." In the kitchen, are you more of a Gordon Ramsey chef or a pussy cat? "I would have to go a bit of both. The guys need a bit of discipline but they also need a bit of nurturing sometimes". What do you love about working at the Hellenic Republic? "I've always really liked simple food done well, with a focus on great produce that's not overly fluffed-up. When Hellenic Republic was being planned the guys thought what they were going to be doing would be right up my alley. I came to run the kitchen and became a part-owner at the same time. I just love being part of this team, which I believe is producing some really great traditional Greek food." What is it like working with George Calombaris? "George is a great mate, we catch up very regularly to talk about food, the menu and everything else that is going on." Is there a food item that you particularly hate? "I can't stand vegemite.

SPOILER: True Blood's Season 6 First Victim Speaks Out
June 19, 2013 by Jill Foley
[WARNING: Major Season Six Spoiler Ahead]:
The Unhappily Ever After End For Sam & Luna:
In true, True Blood style the Season 6 premiere of HBO's True Blood on June 16 opened with the death of Luna(Janina Gavankar) girlfriend to the beloved Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell).
Though when we realized that Luna was going to die it was a sad moment to watch like many of the deaths on True Blood, most viewers were probably not shocked by the death of Luna. The Season 5 finale, left the viewers thinking that Luna would likely die, after all, we know how the story ended for Sam's brother (Marshall Allman)when he went skinwalking…Nevertheless, it is always terrible to watch a character die, especially one that is a mother to a young child!
For Janina she is happy and feels fortunate that her character lasted as long as she did, "I really thought I was going to die in the beginning" she told TVGuide.com, "I was so thankful that they would even want me around for two years. It's been an awesome experience."
In the world of True Blood Janina said:
"No one really dies in True Blood land," recalling a conversation with True Blood director Scott Winant, who noted that he had killed off Godric (Allan Hyde) twice on the series. "There's always a chance, but even if it doesn't happen, it's been a dream. I took risks with this show that I've never taken on any other one. When you're a woman in this business, you're asked to do a lot of things. You have to decide if and when you're ever going to do it, and I'm so proud to have been able to take the risks I have with this group of people around me. It's been a blessing."
Life Goes On for Janina Gavankar:
Though Janina's time with HBO's True Blood may be temporarily, or forever over, Janina is keeping herself plenty busy on other projects! She currently plays the role of McKenna Hall on the CW's The Arrow, as well as a role on FX's The League. One way or another we have not seen the last of Janina Gavankar!
Please let us know what you think of the unfortunate demise of Luna Garza!

When hypertrophy (muscle building) is your main goal, the food and nutrients you consume around the workout is by far the most important aspect in maximizing growth and optimizing recovery.
If you're looking to immediately accelerate growth and improve body composition, then you'd better sit down and take some notes. This is exactly where you need to start.
To underestimate pre and peri (that means "during", btw) workout nutrition is to essentially kiss your gains goodbye.
There has been some recent research conducted suggesting that the timing of nutrients may not be of major significance to people looking to optimize muscle-building. That research was conducted on minimally trained individuals and certainly had no consideration for people who are looking to take an already well-trained body and make it even better.
If you're someone who has never trained, or trained minimally, I can see how nutrient timing wouldn't make a massive difference. Simply getting in the appropriate macronutrients is more than enough to change your current state.
For someone looking for immediate and long lasting changes, you better make the most of your workout nutrition and avoid falling into that trap.
Anyone who's been training in the gym for any extended period (6 months+ consistently), will tell you that their energy wavers, that some days they have awesome workouts, other days they feel like they've done nothing at all. Some days they're extremely strong, other days natta. Some days the pump is so great it hurts, other days, zilch.
I've been there 1000 times myself.
Let me pose this question:
What if I could tell you what to eat to ensure maximum strength every time you went to the gym?
Or, maybe I could tell you what you should eat to maximize the pump each time so that it feels like your muscles are so full they're going to split?
Or, what if I could even suggest what to eat to ensure that your focus was spot on and that you had great motivation and drive each workout?
Answer: Yes yes and yes!
I'm going to focus my pre and peri-workout nutrition suggestion for 'hypertrophy' training ONLY. Notice that these recommendations would change if strength is the goal of that particular workout (I'd suggest checking out Derek Woodske's blog about how to eat for strength if that is your goal).
Let's approach this in a sequential way, so that it's as simple as a 3 step sequence, as well as easy to apply immediately.
The first thing you need to know is that what you eat and drink for as much as 72 hours leading into a workout will likely affect the outcome of the workout. Simply ensuring that you eat the "perfect" pre-workout meal will not ensure that your performance is at its peak. Your body needs to be hydrated, nourished and well rested within the previous 24 hours minimum. For someone striving for perfection, 72 hours pre-workout can even affect things.
The suggested water intake for optimum hydration is 400-500mls every waking hour on a daily basis. So no, consuming 2L at once isn't shown to make up for lost time, although I've been known to try with some pretty good results (I tend to start each day with 1.5-2L of water before eating anything at all).
Carbohydrate intake for 24-72 hours prior to training will also greatly affect performance. The simplest way to think of carbohydrate repletion is in terms of your body as a fuel tank. If you never let your tank run on empty, you'll never need to over feed to refill the tank.
The truth is, that typical muscle-building workouts actually do very little to deplete systemic glycogen. It may deplete glycogen within the working muscle, but the amount of total glycogen used will often be minimal. Most aspiring trainees misunderstand this fact and falsely believe that their need for carbohydrate intake is massive.
Listen, I don't care how hard you train, you're never realistically depleting your muscles completely. You're just not. Unless you're a long distance cyclist going for a 6 hour bike ride, thinking you need 1000 grams of carbs a day to grow is just senseless. But that's another topic.
What you eat for 3 hours pre-workout can and will directly affect your performance by affecting your hormone and neurotransmitter levels.
I don't claim to be a neurophysiologist (although I do have a good friend who is), but I am a gym rat of 17 years that has read and experimented with just about every workout protocol and nutrition program under the sun. The results haven't been too bad, I guess.
Regarding optimal performance and hypertrophy, there are two basic protocols that I find particularly effective for maximizing the results of my workouts:
The one I use most often is going no carb pre-workout.
From experience, this is the most effective strategy for maximizing mental focus, energy and drive. What that means to me is that it gives me BALLS! I go into the gym ready to attack the weights. Grabbing the weights with an assertiveness and aggression that simply just doesn't come when I overdo carbohydrates pre-workout.
Carbs can make you feel tired and lazy, not always mind you, but we have all had a case of the sleepies going in to train at one time or another; it's often a result of a serotonin spike from carbohydrate ingestion. Another notable benefit of the no carb pre-workout is it allows for the natural GH spike initiated with intense exercise. Carb ingestion has been shown to negate this.
- 8oz of lean meat (usually chicken or turkey breast)
- 1-2 cups of green veggies
- 40 grams of fat from coconut oil, butter, or MCT oil (any combination depending on what body-part I'm training. I avoid butter before legs cause it makes my breathing a bit laborious).
- 1 cup of black coffee
Another feasible option for pre-workout is the "slow carb" protocol. If you tend to stay on the leaner side and have a hard time building muscle, slow carbs pre-workout can be a great idea. I avoid simple carbs for the reasons stated above. Slow carbs like brown rice, veggies, beans, whole grain oats, sweet potatoes etc. can provide just enough insulin activity to negate any muscle breakdown while increasing cell swelling and hyperemia. Cell swelling and hyperemia are well known to be highly correlated with muscle growth, optimizing them is vital to your success.
- 8oz of lean meat
- 2 cups of sweet potato mash with cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
A great little tip, or "trick", I use to optimize the best of both of these two worlds', is to stick with the non-carb pre-workout, then after about 20-30 minutes of HARD exercise (special emphasis on 'hard'), I add in some simple carbohydrates in the form of "Vitargo" with 30 grams of BCAA's. This will still allow for the GH release, the neural drive to start the workout, plus finish the workout with the cell swelling and hyperemia. This works really well for me 80% of the time.
There are still many days when I wait until after the training session has finished to consume any carbs. Examples being on days when I know training intensity is down, or perhaps when fat-burning is the primary goal. In these specific scenarios, carbs can wait until after training.
On the days when I choose to hold off on intra-workout carbs, I still take in BCAA's, plus actually often add a little extra (up to 40 grams total… keeping in mind my off season weight is 300lbs!).
Another one of my favorite pre and peri-workout supplement tricks is to add a balanced electrolyte supplement to my pre-workout or peri-workout drink. This adds massive amounts of value for literally pennies, increasing hydration, cellular uptake, muscle contractibility, negating cramping and possibly even decreasing the chances of injury.

Airlines that fly to Las Vegas
Las Vegas Airport
Flights from the UK to Las Vegas will land at McCarran International Airport, located only 5 miles from the Las Vegas strip. The airport is serviced by public buses, shuttle buses, taxis as well as car hire. Generally speaking most casino resorts will offer a shuttle bus to the city at a reasonable rate.
Useful Information
British passport holders are eligible for the USA's visa waiver program, allowing you to visit the United States without a visa for 90 days. While you might not need to apply for a visa, you will need to gain prior authorisation through the country's Electronic System for Travel Authorisation, commonly referred to as an 'ESTA.' Those who are not approved by this online system prior to their flight may run the risk of being turned away at the airport. For travel on non-British passports or for more information, please ask your consultant.
To support the adults-only entertainment theme, many casinos have created fantasy themes to transport holiday-makers away from reality. Arguably the most famous casino and hotel complex on the trip is the Bellagio, with its iconic water feature dancing to synchronised music.
Bellagio Fountains
This is not to be outdown though by the Mirage which boasts an erupting volcano, the Venetian Hotel where you can enjoy a gondola ride and the aptly named Golden Nugget Hotel which boasts the world's largest gold nugget. A mini version of New York and Paris can also be found along the ecclectic strip.
New York New York Hotel & Casino
Las Vegas also attracts the world's best performers to entertain holiday makers. Magic shows in particular are a huge drawcard in Las Vegas with famed magicians such as David Copperfield, Chris Angel and Penn & Teller wowing crowds regularly with their mind-blowing illusions. Equally as mind-blowing are the huge range of Cirque du Soleil shows which take place each night and include titles such as O, Zumanity, The Beatles LOVE and Michael Jackson LOVE.
Some of the world's most famous muscians enjoy residencies in Las Vegas too with regular performances by divas such Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Britney Spears. Musicals are also a popular form of after dinner entertainment here with common titles including Rock of Ages, MAMMA MIA and Jersey Boys.

This picture has a lot of meaning to me personally. The whole picture represents life. You and I, we are the lady bug, just a dot on the red painted railing of life. As you can see I'm on the red, life is ok right now. There's no major difficulties or problems. Your ladybug might be in the grey… We all have these grey areas, as you can see there's some ahead for me as well. But we must always look ahead to the red… The grey does not last forever. Let this image be one of hope for you.
A Little Older, A Little Better
I'm not sure how many of you followers are still out there, but I'm still here! There's a lot that has been going on both in the artistic world and my personal world. I'd like to say that I've gotten a little better with my photography, and have also picked up some graphic design as well. I also learned to make animated .gifs, so you might see some of those on here as well! But other than that, this post is just to say I'M BACK and ready to roll!
A Field Of The Fallen
Title: A Field of the Fallen Place: Winona Lake, Indiana Description: My gorgeous and wonderful fiancee took this picture! Isn't it gorgeous! The colors that were on the ground from this yellow-leaved tree were magnificent. 🙂 I loved this day a lot because my fiancee and I took a good 2 hour walk together just having fun, taking pictures together and playing around 🙂 She's the best in the world ❤ Thank you babe for being amazing! Hope you all like this picture she took! If you don't I'll hunt you down! 😉 Juuuust kidding 😀
Trying Something New!
Title: Trying Something New!
Place: Winona Lake, Indiana
Description: Alright, so I hope that everybody has a chance to take a look at this blog post today because I am really proud of myself! This day's blog post is a slideshow of pictures that I put together through some color editing apps I have! I hope you like it because I definitely do! If you just wait for the slideshow it will go through all of the colors, or you can speed it up yourself by clicking on the right arrow. 🙂 (Does anyone know how to speed that up? If so, let me know!) Anywho, this picture was taken in Winona Lake during the fall! Can you guess which picture is the original picture? 😛 Let me know what you think of this latest installation! I hope to try more things like this in the future. 🙂
Meddling With Petals
Title: Meddling With Petals
Place: Winona Lake, Indiana
Description: Call me a sucker, but I actually took this picture for my girlfriend a long while ago. 🙂 I was walking back from a photoshoot and saw this one lonely petal on the ground and when I looked closer I saw that it looked like a heart! So like any good sucker I decided to take a picture of it and sending it to my girlfriend at the time! 🙂 Apparently she likes that sort of thing since we are engaged now and to be married in less than four months! I'm excited!!!! 🙂 Hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do 🙂 And if you have that special someone, send them this picture (I give you full permission!) to let them know that you ❤ them! 🙂
So Close!
Title: So Close!
Place: Warsaw, Indiana
Description: So this is labeled "So Close!" For two reasons. First of all is for the picture itself! We were the first car in line last night for a train… The train was moving SOOOO SLOOOWWW which means I was able to get a good 12 pictures of it before it passed, haha! But anyway, it took a really long time for it to get to the area where we were waiting because we all know that when the lights are flashing that you don't dare cross even if you know nothing is close (isn't it weird how that is instilled in us as children…) Anyway, besides my psychological argument there, there is another reason why this is "So Close!" Because as of right now I am writing this at 11:48 pm eastern time which means that I am about 12 minutes for missing my first day this year… Psh, no way! Hope you guys like this! I'm glad I still am holding to posting everyday this year 🙂
The "El Dorado" Effect
Title: The "El Dorado" Effect
Place : Winona Lake, Indiana
Description: Well here is another addition to my color manipulation! This is similar to the picture that I had before with me as the silhouette, but this time it is just the sunset. 🙂 It was a beautiful evening that day and the sunset was amazing! I know some may not like this because of the grey skies, but I love it for the gold ocean below. 🙂 As many of you probably know, the name El Dorado means city of gold. I thought that was a great name for this one. 🙂 Hope you all like this!

This article briefly takes you through how to rapidly integrate EditLive! into your application. A textarea in a page is replaced with EditLive! (source for the starting page available as attached (simple_formhtml.txt) — right click and save as in IE to view the source). The name of the text field we are replacing in this example is "web_content". The form in the page submits to a basic debugging page (source available as attached (debugphp.txt)). To skip straight to the ending, you can see the resulting html as attached (simple_form_with_edit_livehtml.txt). To see the simple four steps, start now.
Step 1) Register and Download the EditLive! (http://editlive.com/releases).
Step 2) Copy the editlivejava redistributables to your server to a folder called editlivejava (if you downloaded the zip package you will find this in editliveforjava/webfolder/redistributables/editlivejava)
Step 3) include the EditLive! javascript source in your html page:
<script type="JavaScript" src="editlivejava/editlivejava.js"></script>
Step 4) Create a script block to create and setup an instance of EditLive!, a simple construction would consist of:
- create an instance of edit live called web_content with a height of 600 and a width of 550 pixels:
var editliveInstance = new EditLiveJava("web_content", 600, 550);
- set the content for the editor (encoding it so any html will carry across happily):
editliveInstance.setBody(encodeURIComponent("text for the content"));
- set the configuration file. You can omit this if you just want to use the default.
- display the applet
This will produce a simple integration of the EditLive! editor into your web page. The contents of the body will be available in the field web_content. It is then possible to update the configuration file to take advantage of the large number of customisation options available.

WASHINGTON (3/23/16)--U.S. house prices increased one-half of one percent in January, matching the revised jump for the previous month of December, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) monthly House Price Index (HPI).
For the nation's nine census divisions, seasonally adjusted monthly price changes from December 2015 to January 2016 ranged from negative 1.0% in the Middle Atlantic division to 1.7% in the South Atlantic division. The 12-month changes were all positive, ranging from 1.7% in the Middle Atlantic division to 8.9% in the South Atlantic division.
Year-to-year house prices rose 6%.
The index is calculated using home sales price information from mortgages sold to, or guaranteed by, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The next HPI report will be released April 21 and will include monthly data through February.
