-- Check out the CNN Electoral Map and Calculator and game out your own strategy for November.
Granholm, however, said the GOP nominee had no chance in her state, pointing to his opposition to the so-called auto bailouts that were started under President George W. Bush's administration and carried out under Obama. The federal loans are widely credited with saving the auto industry.
"He is going to lose Michigan because he stabbed us in the back when we were on our knees, and he continues to do it," Granholm said.
Romney penned a New York Times op-ed titled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" in 2008 and argued for a managed bankruptcy rather than the use of government funds.
Granholm added that she considers Michigan a "purplish" state, but predicted a win for Obama, who carried the state in 2008 with 16% of the vote.
CNN's Electoral Map rates the state as "leaning towards" the president.

Occupy protesters march nationwide; 300 arrested
NEW YORK — Occupy Wall Street protesters clogged streets and tied up traffic around the U.S. on Thursday to mark two months since the movement's birth and signal they aren't ready to quit, despite the breakup of many of their encampments by police. Hundreds of people were arrested, most of them in New York.

The Center for Patent Innovations is unique among New York Law School's centers in that it is principally focused on research and development. Associated with both the Institute for Information Law & Policy and the Do Tank, the Center designs and develops projects harnessing Web-based collaborative tools for the sole purpose of improving patent systems, both in the United States and around the world.
Staffed primarily by students, the Center aims to extend their educational experience by providing them a hands-on approach to improving the way individual citizens can interact with governmental institutions. Student participants are able to adjust their participation to their academic schedules, but they are also in a position to take on leadership roles within the Center.
Projects undertaken by the Center begin at the conceptual stage, usually evolving from theoretical work of a faculty member. Once the concept is developed, the Center seeks to fund projects through corporate and foundation gifts. Projects then enter into a design stage where different approaches to the problem are tested and evaluated. Once an approach is selected, the project enters a development or prototype stage. The goal is to then launch the project as a pilot to test the "real-world" efficacy of the solution. Pilot phases may last from six months to several years. The goal of the Center is to ultimately move the projects from theory to full-fledged operation.

I'm sure many of us have seen black houses. I especially love the coral trim on one featured here tho I doubt I'd ever paint my exterior black. I embrace the bold choice nonetheless. http://enhabiten.blogspot.com/.../08/black-house.html http://www.doorsixteen.com/2009/04/28/black-houses/ A modern home color choice favorite as it emphasizes the architectural lines and spans of glass: http://freshome.com/2011/12/11...nd-sober-decorating/ http://www.digsdigs.com/house-...tely-black-exterior/ | |||
I like the look of a black house. Obviously, they are better in climates that are not too sunny. In hotter climates that color would absorb heat, and create a thermal nightmare. | ||||
I absolutely love the look of weathered shingle siding...blackened by the elements...think Nantucket! DD used a prefinished Hardy siding in a color that was almost black with white trim...gorgeous! **Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain** | ||||
I've never seen a black house; the Clipper house was cool, but I don't think I would actually want one... | ||||
Also Maine but I think this is a horse (house) of a different color than black paint. When I lived in Manhattan a century ago I remember the houses on Sutton place as being a really dark charcoal. Looked nice there but they are so posh anyway! | ||||
Living in the south with more warm/hot weather than cool/cold...it wouldn't be practical at all down here. I don't really care for them anyway. Sorta reminds me of burnt out/charred houses. They just look soooo drab. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Not my first choice but love the contemporary looks. Thanks for posting them, Froo. If the homeowners dig it and they can deal with any HVAC usage, no problem. Would definitely stand out in some neighborhoods. I'd plan to repaint before resale, however. JMHO.This message has been edited. Last edited by: blueday, | ||||
There are some truly gorgeous black 17th century homes in Salem, Ma. and up the North Shore. Even the 1920's Tudor style homes in the Garrison style where the second floor overhangs the first, when done right, look great in black. It is a little "pilgrim" in style but lots of evergreens create a bright cool contrast to the coal colored clapboard.Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. | ||||
It's no secret about my love affair with black. But those houses to me are plug ug, all except the stunning modern Japanese one that reflects a sophisticated interior as well as a fitting exterior. I think maybe the secret to success might be the generous use of stainless along with the black wood. Maybe there are other black house out there I might like but none of the ones exhibited in this thread. | ||||

No flank future for Fourie
29 Oct 2012
Deon Fourie says he'll return to hooker next season, despite an impressive stint at openside flank during the Currie Cup.
In WP's 12-match campaign, team captain Fourie (a specialist hooker) only started in the No 2 jersey in two games during the opening rounds of the domestic competition.
Head coach Allister Coetzee utilised the player as an openside flank because of his loose forward injuries, which included Schalk Burger, Siya Kolisi and Nizaam Carr. No 8 Duane Vermeulen was also on international duty with the Springboks.
Fourie impressed in the loose trio, with his standout performance coming in the 25-18 final victory over the Sharks. He was a key in the breakdown assault during the win, which denied the Sharks quality ball on attack. The 26-year-old was also a regular ball carrier and was resilient on defence, earning him the Man of the Match award.
'I enjoyed my time at flank, but I'll be returning to the hooker berth in Super Rugby next year,' Fourie told keo.co.za. 'With guys like Schalla and Siya returning from injury, they'll be first choice in the loose trio.'
Fourie added that he's committed to the Stormers and WP: 'My move to Toulon came with a few hiccups, but I'm delighted to stay in Cape Town. That decision was made before the Currie Cup final, so you can imagine how I feel being part of this winning team. I don't see myself playing for another union or franchise.
'It's been a long time coming, but we've finally crossed the finish line. I'm looking forward to building on to this success next season. With some experienced guys coming back from injury and the youngsters who've emerged during the Currie Cup, we have a strong squad.'
The Stormers will boast three in-form hookers in Fourie, Springbok Tiaan Liebenberg and Scarra Ntubeni in 2013.
Twenty-year-old Ntubeni is one of the youngsters who impressed on the domestic scene this year. Coetzee hailed his contribution during his debut Currie Cup campaign, especially during the final at Kings Park.

29 Oct 2012, 06:28 amNo man…. You can't throw for sh*t and Scarra has been awesome!
29 Oct 2012, 06:44 am@Bagel-1:
he's 20..?..
but you follow the allister coetzee methodology on how to fark players right up, dont you…. -

29 Oct 2012, 06:58 amHehehe Trans and him moving back to hooker when the real boys stand up in the back row makes a mockery of his claim that he is the best loose forward in SA as well!
So we can scratch those two skop selections from the board, only leaves us with 523 others…
29 Oct 2012, 06:58 amBrilliant player to have in the Stormers mix….I am bloody relieved we retained him.
29 Oct 2012, 07:08 amDeon Fourie makes for a fantastic option on the bench, since he covers hooker and loose forward.
Great impact player.
29 Oct 2012, 07:09 am@grant10-5: Am also very pleased for you guys that you get to keep such a player.
It hasn't been the trend you know, where guys not in the Boks mix, decide to stick around. Even Louw left, which I feel has less to do with WP letting him go.
29 Oct 2012, 07:39 amGreat thing we could manage to keep Deon, he's very useful in a long SRugby tournament where injuries come into play.
29 Oct 2012, 14:34 pmHe's a super rugby bench player. Poor thrower as a hooker, Tian far better option. And he wouldn't get a look in the back row with Schalk, Duane and Siya fit. Everyone gets all excited saying how disappointed they are because he didn't make the Boks side. Put it in perspective guys, he had a good Currie Cup campaign… thats all.
29 Oct 2012, 17:39 pmOne of our CC ysters indeed.
29 Oct 2012, 18:00 pmI would have kept him at 6, i think that scarra is a very promising player, I would like to see more of him next year,
29 Oct 2012, 21:06 pmHe really developed into a higher level player this year. Affective in both flank nd hooker positions. Does throw poorly at times. But his dual ability will be a big help to the squad
didnt really rate him before this year, but he showed his class this season
is he test quality .. We'l have to see. Tiaan isnt exactly setting the world alight when he appears of the bench for the boks. In fact tiaan looks alittle out of his depth
maybe im being harsh. But whn bismark is the positional bench mark its hard to compare
scarra showing alot of promise. Was all over the place on saturday making tackles, providing support etc
29 Oct 2012, 21:43 pmOu doos is quite right on Fourie – he's by far the best hooker currently playng in SA with Bismarck out – any wp side with fourie in is 20% improved and he'd do the same for tge Boks – our lot are absolute fools.
29 Oct 2012, 22:26 pmWith Flouw out, he may be a Bok openside flank next…
29 Oct 2012, 22:29 pm@Bagel-1:
He keeps throwing the beers after fetching too many!
30 Oct 2012, 12:25 pmHe cant be any worse than Burden who was made a p**s by Etsebeth on Saturday .

For far too long, dividend stocks have been considered "boring" by mainstream investors. The question we like to ask around here is "What's so boring about making above-average returns and building long-term financial security?"
Quite simply, we believe that dividend-paying stocks are the best way to build long-term wealth.
In the real world, no one builds a fortune overnight. The key to growing your money is making smart investing decisions over a period of several years.
That's what's so great about high-quality dividend stocks -- these companies actually pay dividends to their investors every year, simply for owning the stock!
Advantages of Dividend-Paying Stocks
One thing's for sure, dividend stocks are not a get-rich-quick scheme. Dividends will seldom provide investors with large, immediate returns on their money. Dividend stocks do, however, supply their investors with that rare but crucial combination of capital gains and cash flow. Thus, when you buy quality dividend stocks, you have two ways to make money:
- Capital Gains - The stock price goes up, so your shares are worth more than you originally bought them for, and
- Dividends - The company whose stock you bought rewards its shareholders with (usually) quarterly dividend payments.
We can draw comparisons to dividend stocks within the real estate market by looking at multi-family apartment units. These investment properties, as long as they yield positive cash flow, make good investments because while the buildings themselves appreciate in value (capital gains), the investor also receives monthly revenue from the tenants (dividends).

LWN.net Weekly Edition for June 13, 2013
A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
You'd be surprised to find out how powerful KWin is these days. Tiling, grouping/tabbing, window shortcuts and a huge variety of window- and application specific settings are all easily accessible from a GUI.
Personally I'm quite happy with such settings. On my desktop I don't have much fancy stuff but on my small screen laptop I actually use quite some of these features to use the screen as efficiently as possible.
One that I'm currently missing is to hide the window borders on maximized windows. Actually it's there, in the config file, but it's not in the UI. For those curious - change "BorderlessMaximizedWindows=" from false to true in ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc
As you can use shortcuts to un-maximize and tile windows, there is no reason (for me) tho show the window decoration.
Anyway, I wouldn't claim that Awesome has no features KWin doesn't have - I'm sure it does. Just don't put KWin in the same group as Metacity, it's far more capable and pretty much everyone greatly underestimates it ;-)
Awesome: A window manager that gets out of the way
Posted Nov 24, 2011 23:49 UTC (Thu) by mathstuf (subscriber, #69389) [Link]
Posted Dec 8, 2011 13:31 UTC (Thu) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link]
IIRC they were just beginning to introduce kwin as a tiling WM back on 4.4, and it has gotten MUCH better since, tiling and in general, with a MUCH improved window-rules GUI in 4.7. But there were some (non-kwin) regressions in 4.6, plus of course the whole akonadi breaking kdepim thing, both of which aren't fully straightened out yet, so late 4.5 with the 4.4.10 or so kdepim was the best kde4 so far, IMO.
I don't use either kwin's full window tiling (tho I use the quarter- and half-max drag-to-side functionality that works well for semi-tiling) or window tab-grouping, as I've developed my own solution over the years, an almost maximized title-bar-less window with a pair of half-maxed side-by-sides arranged so I can click either of them or the almost-maxed window to raise (as long as I don't raise both side-by-sides thereby hiding the almost-maxed-titlebar-less) and focus, or simply hover over one that's below to focus it for typing into, without raising it, just making it visible as 100% opaque thru the semi-transparency of the defocused but above window.
It works well for me. In fact, I hadn't realized just how much i depended on the then kde 3.5 window transparency until I tried to switch to kde 4.2, and thru a dual-rooted combination of a bug later fixed in 4.3 or 4.4 and a *HORRIBLY* deoptimized for my hardware default animation setup, 4.2 window transparency (and effects in general) would lag the desktop by HALF A MINUTE or more at times, thus being entirely unworkable, so I had to turn it off.
Ultimately I traced both roots down and both adjusted the config and found a workaround for the bug (by trying and configuring a single kde4 app at a time on an otherwise still kde3 desktop, thus isolating the dual roots), after which I could reactivate window transparency again, and soon thereafter I upgraded graphics so could configure more effects, and the bug was fixed, so I didn't have to worry about the workaround (no actively updating plasmoids on the desktop) any more, but the point is, I found out how much I actually DEPEND ON window transparency from that experience.
As far as I can see from the writeup (tho I've not finished reading all the comments yet), awesome might do tiling, but it apparently doesn't do compositing, so it would appear that window transparency is right out, which means awesome's right out, for me, because I actually USE window transparency, referring to a semi-transparent say documentation or config window on top, while also looking thru it to type my answer to a question about it, while referring to it, into the active window below it.
But OTOH, kwin might do tiling, but I don't believe it has anything quite as flexible as tagging, which now that I know about I'm going to miss as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if it gets it.
So they both have features I could and/or do definitely use, while missing other features I could and/or do definitely use that the other has. =:^(
Meanwhile, to answer your question, originally neither kwin4 nor plasma could handle zaphod mode, separate desktops on each. They're actively working on it and last I read the bugs (4.5 timeframe, so a year-ish ago) it was sort of working in IIRC kwin, but not plasma yet (or was it the other way around?). But 4.6 the then still in development had some fixes that had it /almost/ working (probably about like the 4.2 the kde folks insisted was ready for use, despite its still being late alpha stage broken AT BEST!), basically working, but with some stuff that you'd definitely learn you couldn't do and would avoid after that.
While I use a dual monitor setup, it's as a stacked-orientation RandR mode single desktop, and I've not followed the bugs. However, given the rate at which they were progressing and that it was said to sort of work for 4.6, I'd guess it pretty much worked, but possibly not smoothly, for 4.7, and that with 4.8, it should be pretty good.
FWIW, I'm running 4.7.80 now, aka 4.8-beta1, beta2 released yesterday but I've not upgraded yet.

Switch off that TV, tear up that cinema ticket and turn off that stereo. These days, there's no need to jump between multiple entertainment sources - you can get everything you need from the comfort of your own phone.
In this guide, Mobilechoices.co.uk will highlight just some of the services that you can use to make your smartphone a one stop shop for entertainment. Bear in mind, these are just suggestions based on our experience - if there are any services that you recommend, feel free to let us, and other users, know in the comments section!
Remember when you had to gather in the living room to catch the latest episode of Eastenders? These days, you can watch your favourite shows in bed, on the train, on the toilet - wherever you want basically, thanks to the increasing availability of TV through smartphones.
And more and more people are taking advantage of this ability. In the week after Christmas 2011, more than 80 million catch-up TV apps were downloaded to smartphones. Conclusion: people like having telly in the palm of their hands, and fortunately, there's no shortage of options available.
Here are some examples you might want to check out:
Note: Remember that watching TV through
One(black) £44.99 | 500 min Unlimited texts | £26.00 |
Thanks to today's snazzy smartphones it's a simple matter to get a big screen experience on the smallest screen you own. From the sensational superhero smash hits to raunchy romantic romps, by looking at the different services available, you'll be able to find something to suit your taste.
Here are a couple of services that we use regularly:
Note: As with TV, watching movies on your phone via 3G can guzzle data. To avoid running up bills by exceeding your data limits, stick to watching movies via a Wi-Fi connection where possible, where usage limits are typically much more generous. Alternatively, choose a phone plan that has a generous data usage limit - compare deals online to make sure you get the best price possible.
The Mobilechoices.co.uk team has diverse musical tastes. Some like bands like The Smiths, others are into 1980s pop, and at least one of us has been caught listening to David Hasselhoff. The thing we have in common is that all of us regularly use our phones to listen to music.
That's largely because it's so easy - there are plenty of services available for your phone that let you listen to the tunes you like, and that's before you consider that smartphones essentially double up as MP3 players.
iPhone 5 (16GB)(white) £0.00 | 1000 min Unlimited texts | £31.00 |
There are few things as immersive as a good book, and, thanks to your smartphone, you can have hundreds in your pocket everywhere you go. Digital books may not replace the feel of the real thing, but there's a lot to be said for convenience.

Series: Searching for Motivated Belief
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career
(Needs a summary)
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. 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."
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
The Randomness Project
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
What Does It Mean to Be Human? A Response to Bruce Little, Part 2
Trinitarian theology and the image of God are important, non-essentialist resources to help us think about the distinct place of humanity in creation.
The Questions Update: The Image of God
Over the last two weeks, the Forum has explored the imago Dei from various perspectives. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How could humans have evolved and still be created in the ' Image of God'? written by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
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.
More Than Skin Deep: The Image of God in People with Disabilities
My students twinge and recoil a bit at the thought that persons with disabilities can be made in God's image. "They just don't look like it," they say, zeroing in on what is physically seen.
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".
Southern Baptist Voices: Evolutionary Creationism and the Imago Dei
I wish to question whether or not it is possible for the image of God to be produced through the evolutionary process apart from the special intervention of God.
Randomness and Evolution: Is There Room for God? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Chance Creation
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."

Low voter turnout reflects citizen apathy and ignorance on most things political. If citizens are unwilling to become informed about the issues and candidates, it is better that they not vote.
It is unreasonable for informed voters to have their desires rejected by votes from lazy people who just show up and cast uninformed votes.
It is one thing for citizens who cherish freedom, free enterprise, and adherence to the Constitution to be outvoted by those who actually prefer redistribution, big government, and "fairness." It is quite another, however, for them to lose their freedom because voters choose the cool candidate they think would be more enjoyable to have a beer with.

Pink Protest - Save Our Children's Teachers!
by Mama Pig
Today all across the state of California; teachers, parents, and students are silently protesting the pink slips that are being handed out like candy to many of our teachers, administrators, and aides.
Our dear governor has decided that he still has not slashed the education budget enough and is taking another 11.6 billion from K-12 schools alone. That doesn't even get into the higher education budget that has also taken a significant hit.
As a show of support, many districts have designated today "Stand Up for Schools" and asked the students to show their support and wear pink. I am the very proud mom of four of those students (two boys included) that gladly went to school today wearing their pink. I am angry that our schools continue to face these ridiculous cuts while spending is out of control in so many other areas.
I can honestly say that I teared up when I dropped the three oldest off at the middle school and saw nothing but a sea of pink. For all my complaining about this sense of entitlement many of their generation seem to have; they also have a strong sense of what is right and are not afraid to stand up and say something.
While I know this silent protest won't stop the slips from going out; I can look at my children and know that they have learned something from this. Often times you have to stand up for what you believe in and never back down even if the change doesn't immediately take place. Today, I am one proud mother.
Now, as far as Arnold. Why don't you save all those jobs and cut your own salary? We all know that you have made millions from your movies. Can't you see fit to perhaps save our children in much the same way your characters saved people in those movies that made you famous? Use your powers for good instead of evil. Our children deserve better!
Would you join in the Pink Protest?

Exactly. Sure, kick return touchdowns rarely happen, but that's what makes them so great. They're unpredictable and exciting. Hell, even a 30-yard return can be exciting. I remember Devin Hester's opening kickoff return TD in the Super Bowl in 2006 and it gave me chills.

This is ridiculous on a pro level. In the Pee wee league I coach in, we removed kick offs so we can focus on teaching other things to the kids. That's fine. They are confused for the first 1/4 of the season anyway.
NFL is ruining this for all the fans...
"This is my life, I'll fuck it up however I choose, 'cause when you're already lost, at least you got nothing to lose!- Billy and The Lost Boys Hide the cops, it's the drugs. |
Recently for one of of college classes I did a presentation named "The Sissification of the NFL" My main point was how dumb it is to take out collisions out of a collision sport.
I don't like seeing serious injuries like Kevin Everett but taking away one of the best types of plays in the game?!?....HELL NO |
I think it's a great idea. Great way to eliminate violent collisions.
A few other ideas I think we should float: 1. Passing the ball over the middle, you shouldn't be able to tackle someone if it's a "dangerous" situation. 2. Only allowing players to tackle other players who are the same exact size. It's not fair that linebackers can tackle someone who they outweigh by 5-100 LBS 3. Once the player with the ball is tackled the play should be blown dead, even if the tackle isn't successful. 4. Excessive blocking - Pushing someone to the ground is far too violent and needs to be eliminated 5. Hitting the quarterback at all. Quarterbacks are special players and are needed for the growth of the sport, anything and everything should be done to protect these players. 6. Foam body suits. If players were totally covered in foam it would go a long way to ease the impact of hits. 7. All celebrations should be eliminated as well. It's not nice to celebrate in the vicinity of other people who have failed at their job. Plus it may hurt someones feelings and this is a game of honour and integrity. The NFL has come a long way in making the game safe for the players but they still have a lot more work ahead of them!
Me taking on a mop and a garbage can would be a more interesting fight than those two (GSP and Anderson Silva). |
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.And it coming from Greg Schiano to boot makes it even more ridiculous.So take kickoffs out of the game.What team will ever go for it on 4-15 on they're own 30 unless they were down and needed to late.You lose out on onside kicks at the end of games.and it doesn't protect the punt returners who will potentially be out there more to field punts with guys flying down the field trying to drill them.
How about this proposal.If you kick it into the endzone,and it's not returned.the ball comes out to the twenty.If you kick it through the uprights.The ball comes out to the ten.reward the kicking team for basically kicking it out of the back of the endzone and the uprights can come into play not only for field goals...
Drunk again???Me too..... |
Let's just play flag football!
Just like hockey, the NFL is ruining their sport by trying to make a dangerous game "safe". I understand the concerns with player safety and the ongoing debacle with former players filing lawsuits but you cannot change the game so drastically and expect it to have the same appeal. |

Kickoffs are dangerous, but punts are ok?
If a player wants to complain about safety of a contact sport, he has every right to stop making millions of dollars and find something else to do. |

How are punts any safer than kickoffs?? It wasn't long ago NFL broadcasts timed the hangtime of a punt! Meanwhile, the special teams unit converges on the punt returner...
Here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land The countless white crosses in mute witness stand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man And a whole generation who were butchered and damned. |
punts are way safer. especially with the fair catch.

God allows us to soar like eagles, even in difficult times | Faithful Living
By JOAN BAY KLOPE
Whidbey News Times Columnist
January 25, 2013 · Updated 3:46 PM
The very first time our family saw a bald eagle up close and personal we were new in town and driving along Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor.
I thought we would drive right over the curb and it was all caught on a video being filmed for out-of-state family members. "Here we are, driving through the quaint part of town. Over there is ... holy smokes! Look at that bald eagle. It's flying right down the middle of street, over the traffic!"
Eagles have made a marvelous comeback since the ban on DDT and their listing as an endangered animal by the federal government. Today there are many to be observed and enjoyed, but you must gaze upward to see them. The immature birds (younger than 4) will not have developed that beautiful white headdress, so it makes the spotting a bit more challenging. A quick glance and you might think it a large red-tailed hawk, at first.
Look toward the top of trees and you will eventually see one. Frequently the beautiful white head of a mature bird will stand out dramatically against the green, aglow when the sun shines.
If you are really observant, you may spot two birds sitting in close proximity to each other. The female will be noticeably larger (to cover her eggs) and the smaller eagle will be the male. Rarely will you see two of the same sex perching closely as they are extremely territorial, especially during breeding season.
Every time I see a majestic bald eagle soar overhead the powerful and poetic words of the prophet Isaiah sound in my ears and nourish my heart:
The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power to the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
--Isaiah 40:28-31
The strength and power of God's words came alive for me this week as I watched a mature bald eagle feed on a carcass in a nearby field. We had seen him soaring over our home and had a feeling he was eying our beloved Chihuahua, who could be grabbed in an instant if it weren't for our constant escort. Thankfully, he had decided to feed on something dead, which we know pleased him because it was an easy, free meal.
Being able to closely observe his intimidating wingspan, dramatically white head, and creamy yellow beak have visually added to this scripture and brought the sheer power of these words alive. How interesting that God uses this powerful bird to remind me and you of an eternal promise: He will renew our strength. With God we can soar on wings like eagles, even during difficult times in our lives. We can walk through the most trying of circumstances, on occasion, and not grow faint.
Simply amazing.

JONESVILLE — The open house for the S.C. Vocational Rehabilitation Department's new Union County office drew a number of representatives from local government, business and educational institutions, all of whom welcomed the department's decision to locate it office in the Jonesville Municipal Complex.
The municipal complex is the former Jonesville High School which the Town of Jonesville acquired from the Union County School District in 2009. The town, however, uses only part of the building for the offices of the mayor and town clerk, police department, and the meeting room for the Jonesville Town Council. The old school cafeteria now serves as the Jonesville Senior Citizens Center.
Much of the rest of the building was unused, but that began to change in 2012 when the town agreed to lease the old library to the Vocational Rehabilitation Department for use as its Union County office. The office, which is a satellite of the department's Gaffney office, had been without a permanent home since the Employment Security Commission office on the Duncan Bypass in Union closed. The department's Union County office operated out of temporary space provided by various county agencies.
The lease agreement with the town, however, enabled the department to renovate the old library and move its Union County office there in December.
On Tuesday, the Union County office held an open house at its new location and those in attendance included Union County Chamber of Commerce Director Torance Inman who welcomed the department's decision to locate in Jonesville.
"It's nice to be able to have South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation have a satellite office here in Union County," Inman said. "So often so many of the organizations that assist in helping those with special needs integrate back into the workforce are in other locations making it difficult for Union County citizens to be served. We're very happy that vocational rehab decided to locate here in Jonesville."
Also attending the open house was Kathy Jo Lancaster, Site Coordinator for the Union County Advanced Technology Center, who said the office remaining in Union County would benefit students at the center who make use of its services.
"We have partnered with them on some of our programs," Lancaster said. "We have a number of students that may need some additional help through vocational rehab such as job search skills and students with special needs.
"I don't know what we would do if students had to drive to Spartanburg," she said. "They want to take their classes here and they also need to connect with agencies that provide services in Union County."
Jonesville Ernest Moore also attended the open house and praised the department for its decision to move its Union County office into and its renovation of the old library.
"I feel great about it, I'm so glad we had some spare room for them to use and help the people of Union County find jobs," Moore said. "They've done a beautiful job on this space. I think they spent around $30,000 on remodeling and it is beautiful."
Donna Scoggins, center manager for the department's Gaffney office, also attended Tuesday's open house and thanked Moore and the town for their help.
"We're very happy they were able to let us come in here," Scoggins said. "We are very happy to be here. We're happy to have the office space and the computer training are for our Union County clients."
Established in 1927, the S.C. Vocational Rehabilitation Department provides services that enables South Carolina residents with disabilities to become and remain gainfully employed. The services are provided through the department's offices and satellite offices throughout South Carolina.
The office in Jonesville serves approximately 200 clients in Union County with a staff that includes two counselors, a job coach, and a vocational evaluator.
"In general we provide services to help people with disabilities obtain and maintain employment here in Union County," counselor Ashley W. Harris said. "We provide counseling services, job search and placement, and on-site job training. We also provide alcohol and drug treatment. We also provide services for people with physical disabilities like physical therapy and other accommodations related to physical disabilities."
The office, which is located at 131 N. Main St., Jonesville, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
For more information about the S.C. Vocational Rehabilitation Department, its Union County office, and the services it provides, call 864-475-5000.

Rabbi Rick Jacobs Change and Challenge: Reform Judaism at a Crossroads
August 9, 2013, 6:15 pm Service
Rabbi Rick Jacobs is president of the Union for Reform Judaism, the congregational arm of the Reform Jewish Movement in North America.
A longtime and devoted creative change agent, Rabbi Jacobs spent 20 years as a dynamic, visionary spiritual leader at Westchester Reform Temple (WRT) in Scarsdale, New York. During his tenure, he reshaped communal worship, transformed the congregation into a community of lifelong learners, and strengthened the synagogue's commitment to vibrancy and inclusion. Under Rabbi Jacobs' leadership, WRT completed a new "green" sanctuary, one of only a handful of Jewish houses of worship in the nation to carry this designation.
Deeply committed to the State of Israel, Rabbi Jacobs has studied for two decades at Jerusalem's Shalom Hartman Institute, where he is now a senior rabbinic fellow.

October 13: Naomi Seidman, "Finding 'A Woman of Valor': Gender, Americanization, and the 1917 JPS Bible"
We will explore the translation of Proverbs 31 as it appears in a number of Christian and Jewish translations, focusing in particular on the choice, in the 1917 JPS version, to translate eshet hayil as "A woman of valor" rather than (as the King James has it) "A woman of virtue."
Naomi Seidman, Koret Professor of Jewish Culture and Director, the Richard S. Dinner Center for Jewish Studies at the Graduate Theological Union
November 3: Rabbi Jerry Danzig, Maimonides' Philosophy of Ethical Responses to Aspects of Life That Do Not Admit Choice
Fate, astrological predetermination, predestination, and apocalyptic beliefs were orthodoxies of many religions of the middle ages. Adherence to these orthodoxies prevailed over ethics then and lingers today in the minds and behavior among the faithful of all religions. In the 12th century, Miamonides presents a polemic against these prevailing notions. We will study Chapter 5, Hilchot T'shuvah of the Mishneh Torah, in which Maimonides advances the primacy of "b'chirah" (choice) as the sine qua non of, particularly, Jewish ethics. Without choice, a person has no claim to human dignity, a fundamental of Judaism. In examining the implications of Maimonides' philosophy, we will confront the challenge of, and ethical responses to, aspects of life that do not admit choice.
Rabbi Jerry M Danzig is retired, living with his wife, Joy, in Santa Rosa. In 1999 Rabbi Danzig retired from Valley Beth Shalom, Encino, CA; 1971-1982 as Rabbi of Cong. Beth David, Saratoga, Ca; Founder of Yavneh Day School, Saratoga, CA; Founding Board Member of the South Peninsula Hebrew Day School. Lecturer at University of Judaism, Department of Continuing Education as well as other various institutions and conclaves.
Rabbi Danzig is yeshivah trained at Mesiftah Tifereth Jerusalem, N.Y.; Rabbinical College of Telshe; Ordained Bet Medrish LaRabbanim, NY.
November 17th: Rachel Biale, Sex and Furniture in Jewish Tradition
This text study session will investigate traditional Jewish attitudes towards sexuality and procreation through the somewhat surprising lens of furniture: real and symbolic. We will do a close reading of Talmudic texts that are open to a variety of interpretations.
Rachel Biale was born and raised in Kibbutz Kfar Ruppin in Israel. She received her BA and MA in Jewish History from UCLA and her MSW from Yeshiva University. She is the author of Women and Jewish Law (Schocken, 1984) and two books for parents and children in a series titled "Let's Make a Book about It:" My Pet Died and We Are Moving.
Rachel has worked in the Bay Area Jewish community for over 20 years, first as a clinician for Jewish Family and Children's Services of the East Bay, then as Director of Community Education at the Osher Marin JCC and, most recently, as Bay Area Regional Director of Progressive Jewish Alliance. She is the Director of Bible by the Bay/Lehrhaus 360, a project of Lehrhaus Judaica. She also has a private practice of parenting counseling, now in its 25th year, and writes a bi-weekly parenting advice column in the J.: Parenting for the Perplexed. She also writes and illuminates ketubot (Jewish marriage contracts).
December 8: Rabbi Lavey Derby, Where Can God be Found?
Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev was a much loved and God-imbued spiritual teacher. We will study one of his famous teachings on God's presence in the world.
Rabbi Lavey Derby teaches meditation, mysticism and Hasidism around the country and is the eighth generation direct descendant of Reb Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev.
Dr. Leah Hochman, Let's Eat Already! Jews and Food
November 8, 2013, 6:15 pm Service
Nothing betrays our longest held assumptions, values, prejudices and commitments like the food we choose to put on our plates. Together we will look at the history of Jewish foods, the changing nature of contemporary Jewish eating habits and the ways that Jewish food production and consumption can have meaning beyond just whetting our appetites.
Leah Hochman is the Director of the Louchheim School for Judaic Studies at USC and Assistant Professor of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew Union College –Jewish Institute of Religion on the Jack H. Skirball Campus in Los Angeles.

Spiritual Direction
February 12th, 19th, 26th 7:00-8:30pm
Alissa Hirshfeld-Flores was trained and certified in Jewish Spiritual Direction by the Yedidyah Morei Derekh program, where she studied with Alan Moranis, Rabbi Anne Brenner, Estelle Frankel, and Linda Thal (among others).
Participants are encouraged to sign up for the series. Spiritual Guidance is based on the ancient practices of spiritual direction and guidance found in many faith traditions. The Hebrew term for spiritual guidance, hashpa'ah (השפעה), is from the same root as shefa (שפה) which means "abundant Divine flow." Spiritual Guidance helps deepen your connection to yourself, God, or however you define the sacred, so that you can understand and attend to what your soul needs.
People often turn to spiritual direction when:
–searching for what is missing in your life
–seeking clarity in your life purpose
–integrating spiritual practice into your daily life
–making life choices from a grounded place of knowing what is right for you
–exploring the question "Where is God in my life?"
–developing and exploring your spiritual needs
This class will be an introduction to different techniques used to connect more deeply with a feeling of spirituality in our lives.
Weeks 1: Using imagery to connect with the sacred.
Week 2: A contemplative approach to text/Torah study
Week 3: An introduction to Mussar: Ethical self-development.
Daniel Matt, Shekhinah: The Feminine Half of God
April 11, 2014, 6:15 pm Service
One of the boldest contributions of Kabbalah is the idea that God is equally female and male. Daniel Matt will briefly trace the development of Kabbalah and then focus on the concept of Shekhinah (the feminine aspect of God) from its rabbinic origins to its full flowering in the Zohar, where Shekhinah is identified with the Sabbath Bride.
Daniel Matt is one of the world's leading authorities on Kabbalah. He has published over ten books, including The Essential Kabbalah (translated into seven languages), Zohar: Annotated and Explained, and God and the Big Bang: Discovering Harmony between Science and Spirituality.
Daniel is nearing completion of his immense project of translating and annotating the Zohar, the masterpiece of Kabbalah.

Michel Petrucciani's music should be listened to and listened to. It must be understood, and that's not the word either, rather felt through the heart. "Listen to that," is all that can be said about his compositions, at least by those who really hear it. Michel attempted to reconcile the idea of capturing a moment of feeling and his supposition that all music contains a harmony of colors expressing his artistic nature.

When I was twenty-one, I fell in love with a sound. That sound, a romantic harmonic-engaging rhythm that swept across the United States like the plague in 1962, still lingers near my heart. I close my eyes and remember driving up the coast from Los Angeles in my boyfriend's fire-engine red, classic '52 Jag, wind blowing my hair, sun against my face and Jobim's songs playing against the sound of the surf.

Approximately one month ago 12-year-old Kendra St. Clair defended herself against a home intruder while hiding in a closet in her home in Calera.
The girl was home alone on fall break when Stacy Jones broke into her home, according to police. St. Clair called her mother, who told her to get the pistol, hide and call 911.
She hid in a closet and shot the 40-claiber Glock through the closet door, striking the intruder in the shoulder.
While in the closet St. Clair was on the phone with a police dispatcher out of Durant. The dispatcher stayed on the phone with the girl through the event and let her know when it was safe to come out.
On Tuesday Kendra St. Clair met the dispatcher Julie Thompson who was on the phone with her that day as well as the officers who arrived on the scene first and the dispatcher who kept her mother informed during the ordeal.
Durant PD Communication Supervisor Mike Woodruff said he felt that this incident was so extraordinary that it deserves recognition.
"Most kids don't have the foresight to do what she did," said Ptl. Buddy Faulkner. Faulkner along with Lt. Brock Jones was the first on scene.
Faulkner said that the two had been on a call nearby when they were told of the home intrusion. Though the residence was out of their jurisdiction they responded to the call.
While on their way to the residence they saw the intruder running away with a gunshot wound. Thompson who was on the phone with Kendra at the time said she never even heard the gunshot.
She heard that a man was found running away with a gunshot wound and asked Kendra if she shot the gun. When Kendra said that she had, Thompson said the first thing she thought was "Wow, good aim."
"It was an amazing feeling seeing my daughter's lifeline," said Kendra's mother Debra St. Clair.
She said she wanted to thank the men for apprehending the intruder because she said they did not have to be there.
She thanked the dispatchers as well for staying on the phones with her daughter and herself.
Debra St. Clair said she had not wanted to get off the phone with her daughter that day but knew the dispatcher would do her more good.
She also wanted to thank Ken Golden for being the first face Kendra saw when she left the closet.
Kendra and her mother toured the dispatch room and received a copy of the call made the day of the intrusion.
The Durant Police and the dispatchers wanted to tell Kendra that she was their hero. They all admitted to being touched by the girl's bravery and said they were all proud of her.
Kendra admitted to being speechless at the thought of being a hero to three police officers and two dispatchers.
Kendra had never shot a gun before the incident but has since had several offers for free lessons. Debra St. Clair said they plan on taking advantage of these opportunities.
