"Hey Parents, this is not your father's Playboy that your kids are viewing. Kids between 13 to 18 spend more than 72 hours a week using electronic media. You've been warned." This quote opens the 'Parents' section of a web page at www.XXXchurch.com.
They've got your attention, now. XXXchurch.com is a non-profit Christian website that aims to help those who struggle with pornography. Its targets are consumers and those in the adult entertainment industry. The organization describes itself as "the #1 Christian porn site" designed to bring awareness, openness and accountability to those affected by pornography.
In addition to their internet campaign, which includes offering, for free, the very best software programs for accountability and filtering online, they travel the world visiting porn conventions, colleges, churches and community centers, raising awareness about the true addictive and destructive nature of pornography.
A controversial evangelism, to be sure. Not being one to judge, it's certainly not a topic that many of us are willing to tackle. Not only are they putting their money where their mouth is but, they are fulfilling the great commission by going into all the world.
Mark 16:15, in The Message, reads like this, "...He said, "Go into the world. Go EVERYWHERE and announce the Message of God's Good News to ONE and ALL. WHOEVER BELIEVES and is baptized, is saved; whoever refuses to believe, is damned."
The founder of XXXchurch.com, Craig Gross, regularly debates adult film actor, Ron Jeremy, in an event called "The Porn Debate" on college campuses across the United States. They flesh out the evils of the Pornography addiction that is threatening lives, families, and children.
Wednesday morning, early, Mr. Jeremy was having severe pain in his upper body and drove himself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center near Beverly Hills around 2:30 a.m. His manager, Mike Esterman, said, "His instincts were correct to seek help at that moment...". Jeremy was experiencing a heavy feeling in his chest. According to Esterman, "He is in the ICU and has not been conscious since the surgery." This, after undergoing two operations to treat an aneurysm near his heart.
His manager Mike Esterman told The New York Daily News that the emergency surgeries "went smoothly." Jeremy is currently "resting with complete privacy and no visitors." One source close to Jeremy tells TMZ ... "Ron is in ICU and will be there for a few days and will remain at the hospital for at least 2 weeks until doctors can see how he reacts to the surgeries."
Wednesday morning's near death experience wasn't the first time Ron Jeremy has cheated death. Several years ago, Ron was in an accident with friend, Sam Kinison. In Jeremy's words, "At the time, we were discussing God, and I said, "I think I believe in Him." And Sam, being a former Pentecostal minister, knew more about Judaism than I did. He'd studied all religions.
In Ron's words, "...so, then he swerves and goes over an embankment, slides upside down into a field, miraculously missing trees. Had we hit a tree, we probably would have been in serious trouble. The car was upside down, so we crawled out of the windows. We might have been crushed to death. We picked glass off our faces and our bodies, and there was not one scratch, not an ounce of blood, nothing. And the first thing Sam says is, "Hey, Jeremy, do you believe in God now?"
I said to him, "You go to great lengths to prove a point, Sam." And later on that night, Carl LaBove, Sam's opening act, and Bill Kinison (Sam's brother), said to me, "Sam wasn't the one proving the point."
Another God moment in Jeremy's life came when, in early 2004, he appeared on the second season of the VH1 reality television series "The Surreal Life". The show chronicled a twelve-day period wherein he, Tammy Faye (Bakker) Messner, Vanilla Ice, Traci Bingham, Erik Estrada and Trishelle Cannatella lived together in a Los Angeles house and were assigned various tasks and activities.
Ron loved Tammy Faye. According to an interview in 2006, Jeremy had this to say, "She's a doll. We get along really, really well, and I still talk to her. She's fighting some serious cancer. Now, she's no longer doing chemo or radiation, and she's allowing Jesus to take over. She's lost a lot of weight, but she's been able to go shopping and have a good time. She's enjoying a basic quality of life, but she's in still serious trouble...she really cares about people, and she really cares about making the church (as a whole) accept gays because her audience is largely gay. She really cares about people."
Tammy Faye truly loved people for who they had the potential to be, not how the world perceived them. Showing Christ's love on earth.
As a young man, Jeremy attended Cardozo High School in Bayside, Queens, where former CIA director George Tenet was a classmate.
Before he began his career in porn, he earned a bachelor's degree in education and theater and a master's degree in special education from Queens College in New York.
According to a Vancouver 2013 team member, Tyler, these are his thoughts after working the Vancouver Taboo Show: This was a definite step outside my comfort zone, but I think it was really important that someone be at the sex show to speak truth and life into the lives of people who are following a dead end road to frustration and broken relationships.
In Craig's words, "Why do we even consider hosting an event like The Great Porn Debate?". Every Sunday millions of people go to church and then go home and watch porn. In fact, Sunday is the most popular day of the week to watch porn!! So, it is our responsibility to bring these issues to the light.
- 50% of men in the church struggle with a porn addiction
- 1 in 6 women are addicted to porn
- The average age that children first see porn online is 11
John 8:32 says, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." As long as it remains in the dark… the devil has power over it. We boldly welcome topics like this because we know the bulletproof gospel is our only hope.
God created marriage, love, relationships, and sex; this means His church is best equipped to have these conversations. If porn is destroying people's lives, then the church has a responsibility to help restore and address the brokenness.
So does Jesus love porn stars? Of course! God loves Ron Jeremy and porn stars just as much as he loves you and me. His love is perfect – consistent – and available to all.
Please, pray for Ron's critical issues with his heart. .

What do you know about the benefits and strategies associated with Internet marketing? Do you find everything you can and work to improve your marketing efforts? Magazines, books and videos are just a few of the resource materials available to help you learn more about internet marketing. Do you know how to get yourself started? The tips below may be a good start.
Copying other marketers will not get you far in your own marketing attempts. The search engines are wise to what folks are doing to circumvent the system, and are adept at identifying duplicated content and punishing offenders. Learn to be innovative.
Good leads are the key to good sales generation. Leads that occur in real time are fantastic because the customer wants your product now. You get access to that customer the moment they request information about your products.
A really good Internet marketing tip is to make your website stand out. The amount of websites is so high that you have to find a way to distinguish yourself in order to attract users. One way to make your site stand out is to draw attention to a unique product or service.
Think about reviewing psychological studies reported on web design and marketing on the Internet. These psychological responses can greatly influence the way that site visitors connect with your brand. This includes every detail of your site, from colors to layout. These tricks can easily improve your business' profits.
For the most part, internet marketing is very similar to other forms of marketing except for the manner of delivering information. As an example, title tags may stop being a focus of search engines. If this were to occur, you would need to direct your efforts more towards other options, like viral video marketing.
To become a successful internet marketer, you need dedication and a high work ethic rather than luck. You would be hard pressed to find a business that will attribute their success to the forces of fate. Was Coke lucky with the drink they invented? We know that is not the case. They had a well-oiled marketing machine.
Are you prepared to test things now that you have a good grasp of where to start? You can now apply these tips to your own business. This means you need to start improving your overall marketing plan strategically. If you feel sure of what you just learned, you can be on your way to progress. Otherwise, you should study these tips one more time.

Think you look different with makeup on?
Check out these UH-mazing photos of New York City drag queens in and out of their makeup shot by famed photographer Leland Bobbé. This photo shoot is beautiful. The makeup these guys do is really spectacular! I mean, the shading and blending in their makeup is breath taking. What, do these guys all go though some extensive and fabulous Drag-Queen-Bootcamp to get this stuff down? And the transformations they go through! I literally put my hand up to the screen to cover the "male" side of each and everyone of the photos and damn! They, for the most part, look nothing like the "regular" half. You can see the features and such but the Drag persona definitely takes over. I love this. It's such a flattering way to showcase Drag Queens- not just another kitchy, cheesy show of feather boas and glitter- this shows pure artistry. Think what you may about Drag, but it's an artform. I'm all for it!
In his Half-Drag series, New York photographer Leland Bobbé captures the two sides of the city's drag queens — the extravagantly made-up drag divas and the organic men that lie beneath.
Bobbé tells Huffington Post Gay Voices, "Through the power of hair and makeup these men are able to completely transform themselves and find their female side while simultaneously showing their male side." Shockingly, the identities are composed in camera and are not separate images joined during editing.
Bobbé posted the first portrait of the Half-Drag series on his blog last March, writing, "I got great feedback on the image so I decided to reach out to other drag queens using Facebook as my main means of communication… I've now shot four people with many more on the way. We'll see where this takes me…"
Five months later, the project has taken the award-winning photographer far: It has been featured in Italian Vogue, fashion site Refinery 29, as well as in other websites and blogs from around the world. Bobbé reflects, "This is what the term 'gone viral' is all about."

Borneman AR, et al. (2008) Comparative genome analysis of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine strain. FEMS Yeast Res 8(7):1185-95
Abstract: Many industrial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been selected primarily for their ability to convert sugars into ethanol efficiently despite exposure to a variety of stresses. To begin investigation of the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in industrial strains of S. cerevisiae, we have sequenced the genome of a wine yeast, AWRI1631, and have compared this sequence with both the laboratory strain S288c and the human pathogenic isolate YJM789. AWRI1631 was found to be substantially different from S288c and YJM789, especially at the level of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, which were present, on average, every 150 bp between all three strains. In addition, there were major differences in the arrangement and number of Ty elements between the strains, as well as several regions of DNA that were specific to AWRI1631 and that were predicted to encode proteins that are unique to this industrial strain.

I'm so excited to share an email interview I conducted with one of my "blog crushes," Victoria Smith of SFGirlByBay. I've long been a fan of her bohemian style and awesome interior design looks. I had the opportunity to meet her while at the Altitude Design Summit and it was such a thrill! Her outfit was, of course, effortlessly chic, and her advice to us neophyte bloggers was so helpful. Read on and learn from her!
1. What inspired you to start this blog?
Oh, I'm not exactly sure. I started in June 2006, as just a hobby at first – it was never meant to be my 'job', or I probably would have thought of a more appropriate name. I've always had a love of photography and interior design, as well as writing, and the blog seemed to encompass everything I was passionate about. I initially started the blog as a way to post photographs of my interiors in the hopes of being featured on one of Apartment Therapy's home tours, and fortunately I was selected. Their blog post on my home tour directed traffic to my blog, and one thing lead to another. Over time, the blog grew a loyal readership and eventually became my full-time job.
2. What are some of your favorite projects you've done? Why?
I stripped and sanded down an old art deco buffet I found at a yard sale for $5. I refinished it and it's beautiful. No one can believe it was only $5, so that makes me feel kind of proud.
3. What advice would you give to readers who want to redecorate their homes or start a project, but aren't sure where to begin?
I think designing is an extension of your personality. It's the place I know I feel most comfortable and feeds my creativity. I decorate using elements that really mean something to me, or make me feel happy when I see them. If you do that, you'll build a room that you want to spend time in. I bought a white sofa with slipcovers, and it works as kind of a canvas to build around. I can change up the throws and pillows, and add vintage pieces to the room and create a whole new look — almost seasonal, as my moods change. So, I think if you follow your heart then you'll represent yourself uniquely — since there's only one you!
4. What are the five items/supplies every person should have in their home for any DIY project?
-Blue Masking tape
-An electric drill/screwdriver
-A level
-Exacto Blades & Knife
-Sewing Machine
-Electric Sander
5. Where do you get inspiration for your projects?
It might be easier to tell you what doesn't inspire me. I'm a pretty visual person, so wherever I go it's likely I'm taking photos either with my iPhone (I'm addicted to Instagram) or with my camera. The city of San Francisco is nonstop inspiring to me and everywhere I look there's something beautiful and colorful. My friends are very creative and they inspire me endlessly. I love art and photography and books. Great stories and films inspire me. My very favorite film is Amelié – I've watched it probably 6-7 times. I love the story, but the set design is perfection.
I also love European design magazines, like Living Etc., Hus & Hem, Marie Claire Maison.
Two of my favorite blogs are Door Sixteen, written by Anna Dorfman – she designed my blog. Anna's restoring a house in Newburgh, New York and it's stunning. And I love Emma's Blogg – an unending source of Scandinavian inspiration.
I find great inspiration from my friends on Twitter. They tweet, and I follow. The amount of creativity I find there is constant — from photography, to great interiors, to design, and fashion or even a great laugh. I'm pretty well addicted.
6. What do you think every home should have no matter the budget?
A comfy sofa, and a good mattress. Comfort is key.
7. Is there a design mantra you follow?
It's kind of anti-mantra – No Rules!
8. If you are a novice DIY-er, what project would you suggest?
I think reupholstering a stool, or chair seat is fairly simple, if you've got a good staple gun.
9. What's the number one way to make a room or piece of furniture look brand new or better?
Paint! I paint everything. And slipcovers are a great way to give new life to an old piece of upholstery.
10. How do you create luxe looks for less?
I really don't do that many DIY projects, with the exception of painting, and sewing. I sew cushion covers using vintage fabrics I find at the flea market and that's very inexpensive, but can give you a whole new look.
11. What is your favorite aspect of your blog?
I love the sense of community, and the creative friends that I'm surrounded by. It's a constant source of inspiration, and a very supportive place to work and live.

Eriksen, Casper Place Second, Tied for Third at Braveheart
April 10, 2012 BEAUMONT, Calif. -- Utah Valley University freshman Brayden Eriksen shot a final-round 73 Tuesday at the Braveheart Classic hosted by UC Riverside and finished a career-best second, while teammate Mason Casper climbed the leaderboard with a final-round 69 and finished tied for third. The 2-3 finish by the duo is the highest finish by any two Wolverines in the same tournament. "Brayden and Mason had great tournaments," UVU men's golf coach Chris Curran said. "I am really proud of those guys. Mason made a late charge but came up a little bit short. Brayden played very well and to be in contention as a freshman is awesome. It just shows that we have guys that came compete for titles every week." For Eriksen, who shot a school-record 65 with six birdies, an eagle and one bogey in the opening round, it's his first top-10 finish of his career, while Casper notched the sixth of his career. Behind Eriksen and Casper, Stratton Schulz (75-71-78) tied for 28th, while Jeff Holmes (80-72-79), who had a hole-in-one in Day 1, finished tied for 48th and Clark Fredrickson (82-78-82) finished 64th. As a team, the Wolverines tied for fourth in the 13-team field. "If we ha a little more help from the other guys, we could have made a run at the team title," Curran said. "This gives our guys a lot of confidence heading into the conference tournament." Cal State Fullerton (859) won the tournament by one shot over Sacramento State (860). The University of San Francisco (861) was third, while Cal Lutheran (878) and UVU (878) tied for fourth. San Francisco's Ji Hwan Park, who was tied for the lead with Eriksen and Sacramento State's Cameron Rappleye heading into the final round, shot an even-par 72 at the 7,003-yard Oak Valley Golf Club to win the title. The Wolverines are back in action April 29-30 and May 1 at the America Sky Conference Championships in Stonington, Conn.

I'm 5'8 and weigh 155. I got an XL just to have that baggy look for snowboarding. It fits a little baggy but these seem to run somewhat true to fit.. If you want a good baggy then i would say go XXL. But XL will be a small bit baggy on you.
If you're talking snowboarding steeze, I would probably recommend XXL but that depends on how baggy you want to go. I think for regular streetwear, an XL would give you a small amount of baggy and have some steezey. Depends how gansta u wana get wit it!

He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
The Broken Made Whole
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
Series: Chosen by God: Biblical Election and the Imago Dei
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Does the Slippery Slope Always Go to the Left?
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright responds to a question from a BioLogos Forum reader who notes that in the world of evangelical Christianity there seems to be a great suspicion about becoming too politically liberal, but few worries about becoming too conservative.
Series: What Does "Image of God" Mean?
In this series, Pete Enns discusses what it means to be made in God's image according to Genesis 1:26-27. These verses show that humans are made in God's image in order to rule over all creation as representatives of God. He argues that humanity's image is not wrapped up in their soul, but in their role as caretakers. In this discussion, he mentions that God commands Israel to make no graven images to represent God because humans are living images themselves. Ultimately, Jesus is the perfect image of God, and humans are called to live in Christ.
The Danger of Preaching on Genesis
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter acknowledges the risk that pastors take when preaching on Genesis—and in particular, when they approach it with an attitude of humility, allowing the possibility that the text was not meant to be understood in literal terms.
The Benefit of Doubt
But like a church bell on a clear winter night, it is in the crisp darkness of doubt that God's voice carries farther and more clearly. St. John's great insight is that this dark night is a special sign of God's presence, where our false sense of comfort is being stripped away and we are left naked before God and asked simply to trust.
Series: The Biblical Premise of Uniformitarianism
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
On What It Means To Be An Image Bearer
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright suggests that what the book of Genesis and the apostle Paul mean by humans "bearing the image of God" is less a static picture and more of a creative, dynamic proposition-- specifically, how we "reflect" God into the world.

FSIS Ground Beef Sampling Shows Substantial
E. coli
O157:H7 Decline Again In 2004
FSIS has released data showing a 43 percent drop of
E. coli
O157:H7 positive ground beef regulatory samples collected in 2004 compared with the previous year.
Of the 8010 samples collected and analyzed in 2004, 0.17 percent tested positive for
E. coli
O157:H7, down from 0.30 in 2003, 0.78 in 2002, 0.84 in 2001 and 0.86 in 2000. Between 2000 and 2004, the percentage of positive samples in FSIS regulatory sampling has declined by more than 80 percent. The total number of samples collected in 2004 increased by more than 21 percent.
In April 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in its annual report on foodborne illness in America, reported a 36 percent reduction in illnesses from
E. coli
O157:H7 in 2003 compared to 2002. The number of FSIS recall actions related to
E. coli
O157:H7 also continued to drop. There were six recalls related to
E. coli
O157:H7 in 2004 compared to 12 in 2003 and 21 in 2002.
"The reduction in positive
E. coli
O157:H7 regulatory samples demonstrates the continuing success of our agency's strong, science based policies aimed at reducing pathogens in America's meat, poultry and egg products," said Acting FSIS Administrator Dr. Barbara J. Masters. "Improvements in regulatory oversight and training have paid dividends, and we are committed to building on this strong foundation."
In 2002, FSIS ordered all beef plants to reexamine their food safety plans, based on evidence that
E. coli
O157:H7 is a hazard reasonably likely to occur. Plants were required to implement measures that would sufficiently eliminate or reduce the risk of
E. coli
O157:H7 in their products. A majority of plants have made major changes to their operations based on the directive, including the installation and validation of new technologies specifically designed to combat
E. coli
O157:H7. Many plants have also increased their testing for
E. coli
O157:H7 in order to verify their food safety systems. For more information visit:
Statement by Secretary Johanns Regarding the Temporary Injunction Issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana
"I am very disappointed in Wednesday's ruling by the court to temporarily delay the implementation of USDA's minimal-risk rule, which would re-establish trade with Canada for live cattle under 30 months of age.
"USDA remains confident that the requirements of the minimal-risk rule, in combination with the animal and public health measures already in place in the United States and Canada, provide the utmost protection to both U.S. consumers and livestock. We also remain fully confident in the underlying risk assessment, developed in accordance with the OIE guidelines, which determined Canada to be a minimal risk region.
"This ruling is not a reflection on the substance of the minimal-risk rule, but rather a procedural delay while the judge considers the merits of the case. We continue to believe that international trade in beef, founded on science-based regulations, should be re-established in an expeditious manner."
FSIS Notice 12-05: Documentation of Humane Handling Activities
FSIS Notice 12-05 reissues the information in FSIS Notice 35-04 to include additional information for verification activities under Category VIII - Stunning Effectiveness and Category IX - Check for Conscious Animals.

yup, i reckon you need to post up some photos of your opened enclosures with unbroken tabs as proof. had a crack at one last night. broken 5 out the 12(?) tabs. and i'm usually good at this stuff. oh well, 3 more tries left. interestingly, there seems to be quite a lot of foil-like tape all around the drive. didn't see a lot of that on the various posts on the interwebs. |

success!! well, sort of. i broke five tabs, then three, then two. and on the final one.....
it helps if you know where the tabs are. also found it easier to start at the rear corner where the connectors are. push the case inwards and then use a steel ruler to pry it along one side, then the rear, then the other side. |

THEN! Henry Winchester traveled from 1958 to 2013 and met his grandsons, Sam and Dean. He was probably like, "Holy crap, men sure are taking good care of themselves in the future!" Henry came from a long (and heretofore unknown) line of Men of Letters, a secret society dedicated to sipping tea and chronicling the supernatural. To Henry's initial disappointment, his grandsons ended up hunters. He was entrusted with a secret key and lost his life to a demon named Abaddon while protecting it. In his last, symbolic act, he passed the key on to Sam.
That brings us up to speed for this week, which begins in Vitsyebsk, Belarus in 1944. Sometimes I forget that countries outside the US exist on this show, so it was quite a shock seeing this. We follow a man on a motorcycle to an ivy-covered estate that would make a pleasant little B&B, if not for all the Nazi flags and SS cars parked outside. "Heil Hitler," the motorcycling Nazi greets the guard. "You're late," the guard says in German. After learning that his fellow soldier has been spending time with a lady, he wishes for him to get the clap. Oh, he's about to get a lot worse than that, don't you worry! The motorcycling Nazi wanders off towards the security post. As the guard tries in vain to light a cigarette, the sound of very heavy footfalls gets nearer. The guard looks up, and up some more. He screams.
The motorcycling Nazi glances up from his post just in time to see the guard come flying through the window, bloody and broken. A man or something like it lurks in the shadows beyond. The surviving Nazi sounds the alarm.
Somewhere inside, an SS officer pours a jar of melted redcurrant jam into a metal bowl. He looks more than a little bit like Henry Winchester, but it's apparently just an accident of casting and not a sign of something sinister in the family history. He seems none too pleased to hear the alarm. How is he ever going to finish his Berliner recipe with all these distractions! Several other men are in the room with him -- manning a radio, jotting notes in a ledger and so on. They all look like they're about to drop some bratwursts in their shorts. "The thing won't go down!" says the one at the radio. "It broke through the line at the east gate!" Frantic screams and prolific gunfire can be heard coming from outside. One man takes the ledger and locks it in a briefcase. The radio operator shouts, "Commandant, it tore Richter in half!" Andy, nooooo! "My God, what is it?" asks one man. "It is coming to kill you, soldier," says the commandant. "I suggest you ready your weapon." Three soldiers upend a table, crouch behind it and aim their firearms at the door. The commandant continues on with his recipe, sprinkling a little nutmeg and cinnamon into the bowl to accentuate the flavor. "Damn you, sorcerers of Abraham," he says. The soldiers give each other looks like, "Commandant is cray-cray." They hear the heavy footfalls approaching and gape at the door. The commandant lights a candle and chants in Latin over the bowl.

Wow Tom,
You really hit the nail on the head!
This Arizona monster, Attorney General Tom "The Scarecrow" Horne along with the rest of the bunch governing this state, need to get a clue. Governor Jan "The Wicked Witch of the West" Brewer who just won a political battle with the help of the same democrats that she had despised all along. Superintendent of Public Instruction John "The Wizzard of OZ" Huppenthal who is systematically destroying our public education system. Semi-retired ex-Senate President Russell "The Cowardly Lion" Pearce who won't accept the fact that the electorate is tired of him. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe "The Tinman" Arpaio who's running scared because he too may wind up in his own open air tents, wearing pink underwear and eating those delicious baloney sandwiches that he's been feeding the prisoners. Just another day in "The Land of OZ" folks. I wouldn't live anywhere else!
"...standing in front of a hospital making people sick"? Dude, how do you think that stuff up?
He's doing to Ms. Chenal what he did to Arizona public education.
He should be/should have been impeached.
I'm almost entirely sure he is...and that's before I even read your article.
Tom Horne may not be beautiful but the real ugliness is only on the inside.
Thanks for this column, Mr. Danehy. Tom Horne, as you so accurately have cast him, is an arrogant and despicable bully, wholly unworthy to hold any public office.
Another candidate for worst elected official could be John Huppenthal, the state superintendent of PUBLIC instruction who never spent a day in public schools...
Good column, Mr. Danehy. Very well written and spot on.
"He's up for re-election next year. Let's those of us who don't aspire to be Tom Horne do something about that, shall we?"
A vote for ANYBODY else would definitely be a better option.
What's to dislike about Woodstock ? Or is it just me ?
Hank Hubbard used to come pick me up at home when I was a little girl of 11 yrs old. I used to clean his mothers apartment for her off craycroft road. Her name was Florence Hubbard . I remember she used to dress me in a big hat when I would leave to make sure the sun didn't get to me and turn me into a lil indian girl:) she was soo cute. I remember feeling like a celebrity when Hank would pick me up because he was on the news:) He was a great man I remember him and his mom fondly she was like a gramma to me.
Only half a million people at the most famous concert of all time. Janis Joplin, Jimi , Santana, Jefferson Airplane, 10 years after,Crosby, Stills and Nash, etal. You probably never heard of any of them out on the farm. Like most people who posthere, I prefer to remain incognito.
Talk about one of the dumbest, CWishy .... What is your real name? Why are you hiding behind the CW13 monicker?
Tempe Normal means Arizona State University, which is what the Scum Devil hole used to be called up in Caca Arizona.
Those duffel bags full of grass you smoked did a number on your brain. Moderation, man, moderation.
I wasn't aware Woodstock was going on back in August 1969. My pals never mentioned it to me, so they may not have been aware, either. My family, including my wife, didn't say diddly squat about Woodstock, so they didn't pay any attention to you in the mud.
He's also proven to be one of the dumbest. My remarks had nothing to do with his pot use. It's his stupidity I was remarking on. I assume Tempe Normal means I'm straight. Wrong, Ricky. How very wrong. I smoked duffle bags full of the stuff back in the day. In Aug. 1969 while you and your pals were watching Woodstock unfold on T.V. I was up there laying in the mud, smoking my brains out.
The author could have reduced the whole article to:
I'm wondering if Stoudamire is still smoking that crap. But since I personally consume so much crap myself, I'm probably not the best person to pass judgement.
Those who live in fat asses should not throw stones.

I ordered Dal Makhani and received dal made out of chana dal, which is nowhere close to what I had ordered. It is wrong to pass off one thing as another. The dal was very ordinary.

The managers and leaders of many state legislative staff agencies are "baby boomers" who are fast approaching retirement. Ensuring a smooth, seamless transition to new leadership without inadvertently disrupting the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization requires thoughtful consideration and planning.
Replacing key personnel can be a daunting task in any organization. This can be especially true for legislative staff agencies. Legislatures are fluid institutions. Continuing changes in political control, leadership, legislators, policies and issues can undermine transition strategies that are based on seniority or that merely replicate past leadership succession practices.
This pamphlet provides an overview of important succession planning concepts and keys to successful implementation.

The singer, 23, and James, 24, have been in a relationship for two months, according to The Sun.
A friend said: "Ellie hasn't had a serious relationship since splitting from [ex-boyfriend] Matthew. And she wasn't looking for one, either. She had been happy to concentrate on her career.
"But after being introduced to Greg by a mutual friend, she had a change of heart. The pair hit it off instantly and, though it's only early days, they're both really happy together."
The report also claims that the pair had wanted to keep the relationship away from the public eye.
Goulding recently revealed that her parents' divorce has put her off marriage.

CD/LP/Track Review
Patricia Barber: Companion
As one who has absorbed the jazz art form and expanded upon that by blending her unique delivery with other known styles, singer/pianist Patricia Barber reaches out and grabs the cerebral element in her listeners while keeping the swing alive. Her lyrics leave a considerable heap for the listener to reflect upon, while her soft, whispering, slow grind delivery impresses from a jazz and blues perspective. A double major in classical piano and psychology at the University of Iowa, Barber has issued her first five albums in the '90s with a broad audience in mind. Her lyrics to "If This Isn't Jazz" reflect Barber's true spirit, reminding us of the various areas of jazz that connect with the blues, pop, classical and beat poetry.
While pop classics "Black Magic Woman" and "The Beat Goes On" are refreshing and satisfy a large portion of her audience, Barber's powerful piano piece "Like JT," inspired by Jacky Terrasson, reaches a different audience. Fortunately, Barber's is an audience that ignores barriers between pop, jazz, and classical music: listeners who like good music, appreciate the jazz core in her presentation, and realize that her rare talents are fulfilling many needs at once. Highly recommended, Barber's latest album is but a stepping stone to unique 21st Century jazz with a creative spirit at the controls.
Track Listing: The Beat Goes On; Use Me; Like JT; Let it Rain; Touch of Trash; If This Isn
Personnel: Patricia Barber- piano, vocal, Hammond B-3 organ; Michael Arnopol- bass; John McLean- guitar; Eric Montzka- drums, percussion; Ruben P. Alvarez- percussion; Jason Narducy- vocal on "Touch of Trash."

March 4 is International GM's Day!
Since 2002 this day has been designated as a time to appreciate your local game master for all the hard work they put into giving you an enjoyable gaming experience. It is also, coincidentally, the fifth anniversary of the death of E. Gary Gygax, the grandfather of all GMs and father of Dungeons & Dragons.
You can also celebrate "Read an RPG Book in Public" week. This celebration of gamer geekdom was created by The Escapist and is celebrated three times a year (because once just isn't enough).
So get out your old Player's Handbook and give it a read in a coffee shop. Return the pencils you stole from your GM. Thank your GM for their hard work and imagination. Players and GMs alike should take the opportunity to celebrate what they each bring to the table to make a fantastic hobby.
I've now run my first two Pathfinder sessions and I have to say I'm mostly pleased. While character generation seemed to take an awfully long time (especially as we had one rulebook to share amongst four players and a GM), it truly prepped us to have successful encounters later on in the game.
My PC party is comprised of two human sorcerers and two half-Orcs (one a ranger, the other a fighter). They are in a Viking-esque region of my campaign world and have now encountered a small band of marauding Orcs, a handful of bloody, regenerating skeletons, and the eldritch horror of an ancient temple. The combat encounters went fairly smoothly from behind the screens and we even got to use The Box of Doom™ (the ominous black box that I've placed critical and fumble decks in for drawing). I think the players are having fun with it–which is the most important thing.
We also tried out the "take 10″ and "take 20″ rules. I'm not sure if I handled them correctly and felt like I was getting munchkined a bit. Nevertheless, I think it helped with my overall philosophy of giving the players the benefit of the doubt. Plus, no harm was done. I'm just used to rolling for nearly everything as we go along and these rules–which make perfect sense–are a new experience for us as a group.
I really like the way combat flows fairly smoothly. I was afraid that we would get bogged down in minutiae but so far, so good. Even the "attacks of opportunity" rules (which I was very worried about) seemed to flow pretty well and make sense.
So, overall, a successful beginning to the campaign. Now if I can just keep it on track and keep things moving forward…
So, as of right now I've had only 60 respondents to my online survey. I've also conducted a paltry 6 interviews (one of them being with myself). So it is safe to say that this project has stalled.
I honestly don't know how many responses I need to have but I know that this is not the response that I've been looking for.
But I'm not giving up.
I've placed flyers up at various local gamer hangouts. I've Tweeted (via my own account) to various RPG sites to drum up "business". I've placed ads in various RPG forums.
But I'm not giving up.
I am trying to contact a local sci-fi con to allow me to place flyers in at the freebie table and in the guest bags. I may set up a separate social media (Twitter, Facebook) for this project.
It's only been six months. I keep trying to remind myself of this.
Not. Giving. Up.
I've been really busy of late trying to run two different campaigns: one is the Dresden Files RPG and the other is the Pathfinder RPG. These are two very different systems that are completely new to me, so it's quite a challenge. This is coupled by the fact that I've been developing my own campaign setting and will be creating my own adventure paths for the players. So, a lot of work for me but I hope a lot of fun for my players.
One of the things I love about the Dresden Files RPG is the character background process. It is just a brilliant way to develop a party background with real adventure hooks and emotional ties. So I decided to try a little hybridization with my Pathfinder campaign and had my PCs go through a slightly modified character background process that included the Dresden rules. I wanted to get out of the "you all meet at the local tavern" rut, plus I wanted to establish real ties between the characters–especially as they are playing characters that can best be described as "morally flexible". I've found that these parties are harder to gel and can fall into a inter-party squabbling a lot easier than those that are more heroic.
Here is the process I used:
Character Idea
- Pick a Race
- Pick a Class
- Pick an Alignment
- Name your character
Character Background
1. Where did you come from?
- What nation is your character from? What region? What culture?
- What were his family's circumstances like? (Rich? Poor? Scholarly? Isolated? Religious?)
- What's your character's relationship with his family?
- How big is the family?
- How was your character educated?
- What were your character's friends like? Did your character get into much trouble?
2. What shaped you?
- This is the "middle-history", a seminal event in your young life that helped define who you are as a person. It probably highlights your alignment, bringing it into sharp relief where you had to make a choice. Describe that situation. What lessons were learned? Did someone in particular influence your choice? How?
3. Your First Adventure
- Remember—you're young and only 1st level, so this isn't going to be epic. Maybe you and some friends explored some local caves and crossed paths with a goblin. Maybe some raiders came to your village and you and a few others managed to protect the children.
- Describe it in just a few sentences. The details will be filled in later.
4. Who's Path Have You Crossed?
- Now you'll take your First Adventure and pass it to the next person, who will add themselves as a supporting player to your adventure. Maybe they came with you to the goblin cave? Maybe they are the child you saved from raiders?
- Everyone will get a turn to add themselves to each adventure. This helps ensure that you have a common history to pull from.
5. Roll Up Your Character
The process seemed to work rather well–in fact, the part that most people got the most hung-up on was coming up with character names. I also think it got all of the players to think about their characters as characters as opposed to completely focusing on min-maxing (though there was a bit of that as well). We'll see if the party gels but at least now, before we even set foot in a dungeon, there is a common history with the characters and a reason for them know each other other than they all frequent the same drinking hole.
Last night marked the end of this "season" of my Serenity RPG campaign. I have decidedly mixed feelings about the campaign in general and the end of it.
One the one hand, the PCs accomplished their goals and the Big Bad is dead, never to haunt them again (at least, not personally). The players seemed to enjoy it and there was a sense of closure, but with enough of an open end to allow us to return to these characters for a "season two". On the other hand, as a GM, I feel that I wasn't as well prepared as I could have been and that maybe it wasn't as much of the "slam-bang" adventure that it should have been. I can be overly critical of myself, but it is nevertheless the truth. I let myself get overwhelmed more than I should have.
As far as the overall campaign, I think it was, for the most part, a success. Folks really got into their characters and seemed to enjoy playing their them. We learned a good, new game system that I think everyone liked. We got to play in a universe we all know and love. Everyone seemed to enjoy it enough that they didn't want it to end and they want to come back to it sometime. So mission accomplished there. As a GM, I made a lot of mistakes along the way but I think folks were willing enough to roll with them. I actually managed to have a modern/futuristic campaign (i.e. not medieval fantasy) that didn't bog down in minutiae nor did it turn into a "Monty Haul" campaign either (which had been my two experiences with running "space" campaigns before now). So, overall, I think a highly successful campaign–despite my lack of GMing prowess.
But it needed to end. I'm ready to move on to another system for a while and let this one stew. Before this, I had a fantasy campaign last a decade in real time, which was awesome and very cool, but it risked burning me out as a GM. I started to feel a little trapped in that world and don't want that to happen again. So, we stopped this one on a positive note, can come back to it when we're all ready. I think it's a good plan.


text: Yes, we have worked with Renaissance Wax on semigloss prints (Epson Luster, Harmon Baryta, Hahnemuhle Baryta, Ilford Smooth Pearl, etc.) and it does have some nice aspects. It deepens the blacks slightly, reduces gloss differential and bronzing. But it does not offer UV protection and very minor amount of scratch protection. It is not commercially viable on smooth matte papers. I have one artist using it on Somerset velvet with nice effect.

The Chicago Blackhawks have been a part of the NHL since 1926 when the team was formed. They take part in the central division and the Western Conference of the league. Throughout their history, those who buy Chicago Blackhawks tickets have seen their team achieve plenty of success. The team has won 14 division championships, one presidents' trophy, two conference titles, and four Stanley Cups. The most recent success for Chicago Blackhawks tickets holders to see was in 2009-10, when the team won the Stanley Cup, Conference title, and division titles. The Blackhawks have had some terrific players throughout the years. Chicago Blackhawks tickets holders have seen the likes of Glenn Hall, Denis Savard, Tony Esposito, and Stan Mikita ply their trade for the Blackhawks. This has definitely gotten the team used to success. In the past five seasons, the team has made the playoffs on four of those occasions. In 2007-08 the team did not make the playoffs, but they bounced back to reach the semis in 2008-09 and finally won the Stanley Cup in 2009-10. The past two seasons have seen the team lose in the first round of the playoffs to the Canucks and the Coyotes respectively. The likes of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews played key roles in the Blackhawks winning that Stanley Cup in 2009-10. The two had just signed new multi-million dollar contracts and repaid the team's faith with sublime performances. Chicago Blackhawks tickets holders were treated to some incredible hockey during that season and they will not forget it for a long time.
Since 1994, the Chicago Blackhawks have been playing at the United Center in front of 19,717 fans. For most games the arena is a sell out, as Chicago Blackhawks tickets sell very quickly. The playoffs are definitely the most exciting time to be in the arena, with fans raising the roof with their cheering and chanting. The arena also hosts basketball games and the occasional concert. The fans of this team are definitely a unique bunch. Many individuals buy seasonal Chicago Blackhawks tickets so they can see the team every home game. The team's mascot is Tommy Hawk and has grown into a symbol for the team. The mascot serves his purpose of entertaining the fans at half time and getting them pumped up before the start of a game. The Chicago Blackhawks tickets holders are known for having their own special fight song. The chant, "Here Come The Hawks" has gained fame throughout the NHL. The fans also enjoy the portion of a game when national anthems are sung, with most fans cheering and singing along as loudly as possible. All of this ensures Chicago Blackhawks tickets buyers will enjoy a unique atmosphere at home games. The best part about these fans is how loyal they remained to their team in a period of relatively little success. When they won the Stanley Cup in 1961, most fans felt that another would follow in the coming years. Incidentally, it was 49 years later in 2010 that the drought was finally broken. That is the second longest Stanley Cup drought in NHL history. However, fans did not stop attending games and cheering for their team. Eventually, their support was rewarded.

DETROIT Heres a quick update from the Wings morning skate prior to their Friday game against the Minnesota Wild.
Forwards Darren Helm (back) and Todd Bertuzzi (flu) and defenseman Jakub Kindl (groin) will all make their season debut tonight.
Helm will center the third line with Danny Cleary and Justin Abdelkader.
Im just looking for everyone to be good, Wings coach Mike Babcock said. I dont know what level Helmers game is going to be at, he hasnt played in eight months. I just thought it gave us the best skating opportunity.
Helm has been on the wrong end of a rash of injuries of late.
He missed the Wings week-long training camp and the first three games of the season with a back injury, which was the first of his playing career.
He was hit by a puck on Nov. 2 during an informal skate in Troy, breaking an orbital bone.
On March 17, he missed the final 10 regular season games with a sprained MCL. Then, in his first game back, the playoff opener against Nashville, he had tendons in his forearm sliced by a skate to end his season.
Every time I turned the corner and got on the ice, there was a puck in my face, or I was falling some awkward way or doing something wrong, Helm said. I went through kind of an unlucky stretch there. Hopefully its done for me.
The Wings are looking for Helm to provide energy like he has in the past on that third line.
As I went through it yesterday I had Abby on the fourth unit, but we talked about him being a real good third line right or left wing and thats were going to start with here today and were available to go either way, Babcock said.
Bertuzzi is slated to start on a line with Pavel Datsyuk and Valtteri Filppula.
The first line will be Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen and Damien Brunner.
Cory Emmerton will be on the fourth line with Drew Miller and Jordin Tootoo.
Patrick Eaves is a healthy scratch.
Jonathan Ericsson (hip), Mikael Samuelsson (groin) and Jonas Gustavsson (groin) also wont skate.
Kindl will be paired on the second power play unit with Brendan Smith.
For Kindl it may be his last chance to make this team has a regular.
Thats another good thing about injures, other people get opportunities, Babcock said. If you grab hold of it you get to play a long, long time. Everybody comes in has nobody and then does something.
You have to grab hold of it, Babcock continued. Kuba is getting to the point in his career, this is eight years now when you drafted him, you have to grab hold of it. If not youre not part of it.
Ian White returned to the locker room Friday after severing a tendon in his left knee in Tuesdays loss to the Dallas Stars.
Its kind of depressing that something like this happens so early in the season when you start getting your legs under you and have a setback for a couple of weeks, White said. It doesnt make you feel very good. But other than Im in good spirits.
White, who will be out 2-3 weeks, has yet to watch the video of the incident, but he knew right away it was bad.
I was the third man back, it was a two-on-two, I think one of our guys got beat and they were taking the puck to the net and I kind of started crashing the net, White recalled. Howie made a great save and I took the heel of his skate right at the top of the knee.
It could have been a lot worse, White continued. You have a tendon going right over your knee cap. It just missed it. I guess if I would have cut that I might have been the season. Lucky, if you will.

The Snowpulse Tour 45 avalanche airbag is the largest avalanche airbag available today. With 1 main stow pocket, combined with a hood and 45L of stow space, this pack is most often worn by avid backcountry skiers, ski guides, multi-day trippers and those who can't leave anything behind. Those backcountry enthusiasts who cannot compromise on their avalanche safety gear will appreciate the numerous exterior straps for cinching, attaching ice axes and sleeping pads.
The Snowpulse Tour 45 features the "Lifebag" technology which is the safest avalanche airbag available. Instead of deploying behind your head like a pillow, the Lifebag deploys in a horseshoe shape, much like a lifejacket. This provides trauma protection to the head, neck and chest. The avalanche airbag is quickly becoming an integral piece of avalanche safety gear.
The Snowpulse Tour 45 comes in both a short and long frame. Short is recommended for individuals under 5'9".
All Snowpulse Avalanche Airbags utilize compressed dry air canisters (sold separately). They are reusable and refillable at Snowpulse refill stations, Dive/SCUBA Shops and Paintball shops.
