The Specials
City: Coventry, England
Website: www.thespecials.com
Local show: 8 p.m. Saturday, March 23; Warfield, S.F.; $35-$47, www.axs.com.
Download these: "A Message to You, Rudy," "Too Much Too Young"
The skinny: Seemingly every band that had a hit in the '80s, and quite a few that didn't, is getting back together these days. Even Men Without Hats reunited, for crying out loud. Still, there are plenty of reasons to get excited about the reunited Specials. Most significant of the bunch, however, is that the Specials were responsible for many of the finest English 2-Tone ska revival songs of all time — crazy good cuts like "Ghost Town," "Free Nelson Mandela" and "Gangsters." It was a blast to finally hear those songs performed live at SXSW. So put on your best "rude boy" gear and get ready to skank when the Specials come to town.

Development of Education
Since the foundation of People's Republic of China in 1949, great importance has been attached to education by the Chinese government. Laws were established so as to guarantee everyone's right of being educated, especially ethnic minority groups, children, women and the disabled. After fifty years' hard work, education in China has experienced a significant step forward.
Nine-year compulsory education is being put into effect in stages in a planned way. The elementary education in China has been basically popularized in areas covering 91 percent of the country's population. Meanwhile higher education, vocational and technical education, adult education of various forms and national education have developed rapidly. The education system of multi-level, multi-form and a wide range of disciplines preliminarily come into being. International educational communication and cooperation have been extensively carried out in China recent years.
Educational System in China
Chinese educational system is divided into four parts, namely, basic education, secondary vocational and technical education, higher education and adult education.
Basic education composes preschool education, elementary and secondary education. The schooling of elementary education (primary school) in China is six years. Secondary education which consists of junior and senior middle school usually lasts three years. Moreover, some schools provide integrated curriculum of nine years which combines primary education and junior middle school.
Higher education is the education of high level for fostering junior college students, undergraduates and postgraduates. The schooling of junior colleges is two to three years, and that of universities is generally four years, except medical courses which need five years for graduation. Moreover, some engineering institutes require 5 years for students' graduation. Postgraduates usually need two to three years to accomplish their study, and doctoral candidates need another 3 years.
Overview of Study in China
The number of international students studying in China has been mounting by approximately 20% annually since the reform and opening period began. In 2010, the number of international students studying in China reached 260,000 for the first time. Moreover, they came from a more diversified range of countries and regions and studied in a more diversified number of hosting institutions, and more of them receive Chinese government scholarship than in any other year since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
According to statistics, in 2010 altogether 265,090 international students from 194 countries and regions were studying in 620 colleges and universities, research institutions and other education institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China (not including Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao). Among them, 22,390 were granted Chinese government scholarship, up by 22.72% over the previous year.
Students from other Asian countries accounted for 67.84% of the total, ranking No. 1, followed by Europeans, Americans, Africans, and Oceanians. The top ten origin countries were Republic of Korea, the United States, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Russia, Indonesia, India, Kazakhstan and Pakistan. Other countries sending more than 5000 students included France and Mongolia. In terms of student types, 107,432 were studying for academic degrees, accounting for about 40% of the total and 157,658 were pursuing non-degree education, accounting for about 60%.
China's Ministry of Education (MOE) will make further efforts to optimize the environment for international students, improve management and to upgrade education quality, by adhering to the National Outline for Medium and Long Term Educational Reform and Development as well as the Study in China Plan, aiming at attracting 500,000 international students by 2020 so as to make China Asia's biggest host country for international students.
China has over 1,000 higher educational institutions (HEIs) currently. Some universities, such as Beijing University and Tsinghua University, have already gained international reputations for their outstanding teaching and research facilities. China has signed agreements with almost 40 countries such as France, Great Britain, Australia, Russia, etc., to recognize each other's diplomas. More and more Chinese universities now offer courses in English, enabling students with no knowledge of Chinese language to study there.

Wierd RTP Issue
I have a peculiar RTP issue. I'm experimenting with Jitsi as a softphone on one of my desktop Windows machines. That machine can either be connected to Asterisk via an VPN connection (with a static IP address) or not (via NAT). When it's connected via NAT, all is OK.
When it's connected with VPN, the following occurs:
The voice path inbound to Jitsi works fine when Jitsi originates the call, no matter what it's calling.
The voice path inbound to Jitsi works fine when it's called from another SIP
The voice path inbound to Jitsi is silent when it's called from something on the other side of a PRI via DAHDI.
I've run Wireshark on my desktop and see the RTP packets coming at the same rate and protocol (g711) in all the cases and "sip set debug peer xyz"
doesn't shed any light on the situation (the SDP data looks similar in the working and non-worknig cases).
Does anybody have any ideas what to look at next?

We are PUBLIQ (pronounced "public"), and our mission is simple — brew memorable craft beer, to demonstrate fierce loyalty to our customers, and be a force for positive change within our community. To accomplish this we will...
We will brew and serve from our tap room classic ales and lagers, time-tested original beers, and craft small experimental batches to test the boundaries of what can be done with craft beer.
We will provide numerous opportunities to connect closely with our patrons and reward them for their loyalty through discounts and fun ways to say "thank you!"
We will commit to what we call a continual "high five," committed to donating 5% of our income towards charities — both ones within the community, and special needs that arise and capture our attention.
We commit to participating actively within our community and enabling our patrons to do the same, providing connections for civic involvement and hosting special civic events for the greater good of our community.
The short answer is that we expect to open our doors within three years or so. With a great number of logistics to take care of, it may take us a bit to launch the brewery. But we're excited about the possibilities.
We're hard at work on our business plan, cost sheet analysis, projections, and all the other things we need to guide our decision-making. These analytical documents are the structure, foundation, and road map for our business and we want to get this right.
Opening a brewery requires a great deal of capital — and the effort to acquire what we'll need is no small undertaking. In addition to acquiring private and public loans to purchase the equipment we need, we are also looking into two additional forms of funding:
If you'd like more information about investing opportunities, contact Michael at michael @ public.mn.
And of course there is the process of licensure and becoming a legitimate entity and able to legally produce and serve beer in Minnesota. While I'd love to be able to sell beer right out of my house, I'd rather do it legally and out of the brewery instead. The wife would love me more for it.
There's a few things that you could do that would mean the world to us — simple things that will take a minute or two of your time and will help us towards our goals:
Stay connected with us on your favorite social networks:
If you've got craft beer-loving friends and family, please take a moment to let them know about us. We'd greatly appreciate it!
If you're up for more in-depth updates as to what's going on in the brewery and the progress that we're making, follow our blog over at publiqbrewing.blogspot.com.
Consider volunteering to help us get the word out on the street with promo cards or promoting us on all your social networks. We'll take all the promotional help we can get. And if we see that you're really bringing in the follows for us, we will make it worth your while when we open our doors. It's written into our business plan: we reward loyalty!

Double and Half-Angle Identities
Date: 12/08/2000 at 08:42:15 From: John Gardner Subject: Double and Half Angle Identities Hi Dr. Math: We are currently learning about double and half-angle identities in my pre-calculus class. I was just wondering why we are learning them. What purpose do they serve? Why can't we just take the sine, cosine or tangent of double or half of the actual angle? Thanks. John
Date: 12/08/2000 at 11:41:37 From: Doctor Rick Subject: Re: Double and Half Angle Identities Hi, John. Here are several reasons, looking at it from different angles (no pun intended). I'll put them in order from least to most convincing, in my mind. 1. Historically, identities such as these were used by Ptolemy of Alexandria to generate the first "trig tables." Your calculator uses a different means to compute sines and cosines, but it's good to be aware that those numbers don't just come out of the air; they need to be calculated, and trig identities can be used to do so. 2. The difference between calculating sin(22.5) and using the trig identity for sin(45/2) is the difference between an approximation and an exact value. A calculator always gives you an approximation to the sine or cosine of an angle, not the exact answer. (Well, sometimes it's exact - for instance, sin(30 degrees) = 0.5 is exact - but the calculator can't tell you so.) In pure mathematics we put a high premium on exactness: an approximation, no matter how good, is an entirely different beast from an exact solution. 3. You can only use the calculator approach when you have a specific angle - a number of degrees or radians - to deal with. It is useless when you are dealing with variables. If you are in the midst of solving an equation and the equation has sin(x/2) on one side and sin(x) on the other, you need to use a trig identity to write the one in terms of the other. Then, letting y = sin(x), you get an equation in the variable y, which you can solve. In other words, the trig identities aren't really necessary for simple calculations, but they show their worth when you use them as tools for algebraic manipulation. - Doctor Rick, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

The latter, including Gospels of Thomas and Mary Magdalene, have inspired recent Gnostic scholarship and shaken up traditional biblical scholarship by revealing the diversity of beliefs among early followers of Jesus.From SF Chron
Gnostics believed in a secret knowledge of how people could escape the prisons of their material bodies and return to the spiritual realm from which they came.
. . . .
He noted that the Gospels of John and Mark both contain passages that suggest that Jesus not only picked Judas to betray him but actually encouraged Judas to hand him over to those he knew would crucify him.
In a key passage in the newfound Gospel, Jesus had talks with Judas "three days before he celebrated Passover." That is when Jesus is supposed to have referred to the other disciples and said to Judas: "But you will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me."
By that, scholars said, Jesus seems to have meant that in helping him get rid of his physical flesh, Judas will act to liberate the true spiritual self or divine being within Jesus.
This puts a whole new spin on Judas's kiss of death. What a strange world. The leather-bound codex was found by farmers roughly 30 years ago, in a limestone box next to a pile of human bones, inside a cave in Egypt. There are ongoing debates about the possible authenticity and reliability of the gospel -- some scholars have concluded that the newly discovered gospel is a faithful copy of a gospel roughly contemporaneous with the Gospel of John. It's incredible how the chance surfacing of an ancient document could throw centuries of belief into uncertainty. It's also something of a mindf*ck, surely, for Christians to consider that Judas, the paradigm villain, was in fact the chosen disciple. It's so dark and twisted but somehow unsurprising -- it feels very George Lucas.

- Tear homespun fabrics into 18-inch-long strips of assorted widths (1/2 inch to 2 inches). (Our 12-inch pillow uses 1/2-inch to 1-inch-wide strips; the 14-inch pillow uses strips up to 2 inches wide). Press strips flat. Cut interfacing 2 inches longer and wider than the finished pillow size. Working on a flat ironing surface, lay strips of fabric across iron-on side of the interfacing (see photo), covering entire square. Use additional fabric strips to fill in lengthwise, weaving them over and under each crosswise strip of fabric. After weaving two rows, lightly press strips to adhere them to interfacing (see photo). Continue weaving strips until the entire square is covered, pressing every couple of rows as you weave. Trim the square to 1 inch larger than the finished pillow size. Machine-baste 1/4 inch from raw edges to keep all loose ends in place.
- To make the overlapping pillow backing, cut two pieces of plaid fabric (15x12 inches for the 14-inch pillow; 13x10 inches for the 12-inch pillow). Cut two strips of interfacing 1-1/2 inches by the length of the pillow top. Fuse interfacing to back edge of plaid fabric 1/4 inch in from the cut edge. Fold edge 1/4 inch and press. Fold edge another 1-1/2 inch and press. Stitch close to pressed edge about 1-3/8 inch from side folded edge. Make three buttonholes in one reinforced edge. Overlap the two reinforced edges, mark button placement, and sew buttons in place. With right sides together, stitch pillow top to backing pieces, using 1/2-inch seam allowance. Clip corners diagonally. Turn right side out and press. Insert pillow form.

California has taken the largest hit in the sharp increase in gasoline prices. The average price of a gallon of regular in the nation's largest state recently rose above $4. However, in some of the state's largest cities, the situation is much worse. And, the rising prices are spreading to some of the most populated states, threatening a spring and summer of costly driving.
The area around San Francisco has been hit particularly hard. The price within the city itself is $4.07, according to GasBuddy. Not far away is Santa Barbara, the city with the highest price in the state at $4.13. The price in nearby San Jose is $3.98. Across the bay from San Francisco, in Oakland, the price is $3.97.
The area around Los Angeles has not been spared. The price within the city is $4.08. In Riverside, the price is $4.02, and in Ventura it is $4.10.
The other large city in the California with an average price of regular in this range is San Diego, at just above $4.03 a gallon.
California's largest cities could be the best place to test whether gas prices can begin to badly hurt the economy. The areas around San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles are home to millions of people. Coupled with high gas prices, these areas also have expensive real estate and high costs of living. Perhaps the only mitigating factor is that some also have many households with high median incomes.
The economic theory about rising gas prices is that the trend kills consumer spending. Prices are up nationally nearly 8% this year to above $3.55 a gallon. People only have so much money, obviously. People who commute by car, which number fairly high among the populations of California's cities, may struggle as an increasingly larger portion of their weekly incomes go toward fueling their vehicles. Eventually their finances become pinched, and their spending on almost everything else drops.
If California's economy does begin to suffer from high gasoline prices, several other regions won't be far behind. In New York, Chicago, Miami and other large cities, the average price for a gallon of regular has passed above $3.75 and shows little evidence of moderating. The "California gas problem" has already started to spread aggressively.The price of an average gallon of regular is above $3.60 in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, New York .Illinois and California. Among them, these states have well over a third of the U.S. population
It doesn't help that total gasoline inventories have decreased, even with refineries running at near full capacity. One may also wonder why so much oil is stockpiled in the U.S. Strategic Reserve.

Bill Anderson's exploits strictly as a vocalist or songwriter alone be enough to ensure his selection to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which makes the fact that he's achieved legendary status in both areas even more noteworthy.
Yet Anderson, who will be honored Saturday at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in the latest edition of their Poets and Prophets: Legendary Country Songwriters series, admits that he's still so busy that these types of events are really the only time he pauses to look back at his magnificent career.
"It really does seem like I just came to town yesterday," Anderson said. "The years have just kind of gotten away, but when you're really busy and active you don't have time for looking back that much. But a program like the one Saturday is a good opportunity to consider just how fortunate and blessed I've been throughout my career."
Museum Editor Michael Gray will conduct an in-depth, one-on-one interview with Anderson, while also including in the program recordings, photos and film clips.
Anderson will also perform briefly and immediately after the program will sign autographs in the Museum Store.
His unique breathy vocal style and earnest narrations, which earned him the nickname "Whispering Bill," has been featured on seven number one country hits, among them "Mama Sang a Song,' "Still," "My Life (Throw It Away If I Want To)" and "World of Make Believe," plus another 29 top 10 singles.
As a writer he's penned spectacular fare for a host of performers from Ray Price, Connie Smith and Jim Reeves to current stars like Brad Paisley, George Strait and Kenny Chesney. He's also been able to make the transition from the style and sound of earlier eras to the present."
"I'm still doing a lot of the things that I did before in terms of writing," Anderson explained. 'It's still a case of constantly thinking about hooks, song lines and titles, doing a lot of reading, always being conscious in conversations of where a word or a phrase might lead to a good song idea."
Anderson said the one big difference between the songs in the Fifties and the ones today is that audiences like to have things presented in a more upbeat, positive fashion.
"I remember when you'd write a song and you would emphasize the down side — the crying in your beer — and there are still plenty of great songs being written like that today. But in general, I think you do have to kind of tailor the approach more in a positive direction, though again there are no hard and fast rules," he said.
A journalism graduate of the University of Georgia as well as a former disc jockey and sports writer, Anderson's first hit song "City Lights" was written while in college. It became a number one hit for Ray Price in 1958, and after that Anderson soon moved to Nashville and began his extraordinary career.
Throughout the remainder of the 1950s, as well as the '60s and into the '70s, Anderson was seldom off the charts as either a writer or performer. He also became a Grand Ole Opry member in 1961.
But then Anderson did something that would spell doom for almost anyone else. He took nearly 20 years off from songwriting to move into other areas of the entertainment industry.
"I had always wanted to try doing game shows, so I did that for a while. I was on daytime soaps and hosting programs and doing a lot of other things," he said. "But I never completely abandoned music. I just wasn't earning a living as a songwriter during that period."
His other pursuits ranged from co-hosting the ABC program The Better Sex with Sarah Purcell and being sole host on TNN's Fandango to being a three-year regular on ABC's One Life To Live, co-producing another TNN show "You Can Be A Star" and appearing as a celebrity on "Match Game," "Family Feud" and "Password Plus."
But upon returning to songwriting in 1995 by co-writing "Which Bridge To Cross (Which Bridge To Burn)" with Vince Gill, Anderson was quickly back in peak writing form. He ended the 20th century with two big hits, "Wish You Were Here" (cut by Mark Wills) and "Two Teardrops" (done by Steve Wariner).
Moving into the new millennium, Anderson showed he could successfully pen tunes for the latest country generation. The 2001 single "Too Country" that was co-written with Brad Paisley won a CMA Vocal Event of the Year award. The riveting single "Whiskey Lullaby," co-written with Jon Randall, was an enormous hit for the duo of Paisley and Alison Krauss, and it eventually won both Video of the Year and Vocal Collaboration of the Year, and 'Whiskey Lullaby" and "Give It Away" in 2007 were CMA Songs of the Year.
"There are so many wonderful young people in country music today," Anderson said. "I'm not one of these folks who sit back and complain about the good old days being gone. Sure, you can't write songs today like you did in 1958, but there are still plenty of incredibly talented and gifted people in the industry. It's a pleasure to work with them and a thrill that they want to record my songs."
Others who've recorded Anderson songs recently include Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Craig Morgan, Joe Nichols, Jon Randall and Sugarland.
Anderson's also had numerous songs cut by stars in other genres. James Brown, Elvis Costello, Aretha Franklin, Ivory Joe Hunter, Dean Martin and Lawrence Welk are among non-country performers who've had hits with Anderson tunes, and he marvels that the trend continues.
"I just had (American Idol winner) Ruben Studdard cut one of my songs," he said. "I don't even know where he got it, but he's done a great job with it. I'm always pleased when my songs are done by anyone, and it's great he's the newest person to do it."
With a new disc planned for 2010 matching him with some of contemporary country's hottest writers and singers, Whispering Bill's distinguished and exceptional legacy will continue on into the second decade of the 21st century.
What: Hall of Fame songwriter and vocalist Bill Anderson being honored as part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's quarterly Poets and Prophets: Legendary Country Songwriters series.
When: 1:30 p.m. Saturday

The Tennessee Titans added 10 undrafted free agents to their roster on Monday with Kentucky running back Rafael Little and Hawaii receiver Jason Rivers headlining the group.
Others signed by the Titans include Virginia Tech defensive tackle Barry Booker, Delaware running back Omar Cuff, Mary-Hardin Baylor linebacker Jerrell Freeman, Florida safety Tony Joiner, Kentucky center Eric Scott, Stephen F. Austin tackle Brock Pasteur, Georgia center/guard Fernando Velasco and Lane College wide receiver Edward Williams.
Little rushed for 1,013 yards for the Wildcats as a senior and averaged 5.3 yards per carry, as well as catching 42 passes and averaging 6.7 yards per punt return.
Despite his small size (5-8, 194), Little likely would have been drafted by some team had he not suffered a knee injury in Senior Bowl practices. He had surgery in March, which likely leaves him unavailable this coming season.
Rivers, 6-1, 200, was part of the Hawaii Warriors' undefeated regular season led by quarterback Colt Brennan. He was one of Brennan's primary targets, hauling in 92 passes for 1,174 yards and 13 touchdowns in Hawaii's spread-style offense. He even had 10 catches for 105 yards in Hawaii's blowout loss to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
Rivers ran a 4.59 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, which might have played a factor in him going undrafted.
Lane's Edward Williams, 6-3, 204, is another small college prospect, who put up good numbers at the Division II school in Jackson. He was a teammate of current NFL player Jacoby Jones with the Dragons and caught 32 passes for 425 yards despite missing four games with injuries to his shoulder and ankle.
Cuff, 5-10, 195, scored 35 career touchdowns for the Blue Hens, an even more impressive accomplishment given he began life at Delaware as a defensive back.
Joiner ran a 4.59 time in the 40 and at 6-0, 215, has decent size for a strong safety. At one point, Joiner had felony burglary charges pending against him regarding an incident with a girlfriend's car, but those charges were dropped, according to NFL Draft Scout.
Booker, a defensive tackle who had a pre-draft visit with Tennessee, runs around a 5.0 in the 40-yard dash and has decent size at 6-4, 284. He could be a nice project for defensive line coach Jim Washburn to develop. According to NFL Draft Scout, he had one positive marijuana test while at Virginia Tech in 2004.
Pasteur, Scott and Velasco will fall under the tutelage of offensive line coach Mike Munchak and try to earn a role either on the practice squad or as a backup, something that could be easier to do this season since the Titans did not draft any offensive linemen.
The full list:
DT Barry Booker Virginia Tech
RB Omar Cuff Delaware
LB Jerrell Freeman Mary-Hardin Baylor
S Tony Joiner Florida
RB Rafael Little Kentucky
T Brock Pasteur Stephen F. Austin
WR Jason Rivers Hawaii
C Eric Scott Kentucky
C/G Fernando Velasco Georgia
WR Edward Williams Lane College

Movie Summary
John Milton is up against the clock: Jonah King, the leader of a Satanic cult, has murdered Milton's daughter and kidnapped her baby. In three days, King and his followers will sacrifice the child at midnight. Milton picks up the trail in Oklahoma as well as rescuing a waitress named Piper from her brutal, two-timing fiancé. There are odd things about Milton: his driver's license is out of date, he has a very strange gun, and he's being pursued by a man in a suit who carries FBI ID and calls himself the Accountant. Piper, who's lived a life on the sidelines, has to piece things together on the fly as they close in on King.

Movie Review
When I first saw the trailer to this movie, I was expecting it to be an action film. After watching it with my girlfriend, it felt more like a comedy with action scenes in it, than anything else. There were two things we both agreed on, with this movie, which was: 1) This movie is not suitable for children, due to all the nudity, and 2) The storyline completely sucked and needed a lot of work.
As for the storyline, the main downfall was they didn't explain too much, through out the movie. By the end of the movie, we came to the conclusion that it was a cult type storyline. It took the entire movie to go by, before you find out who the cast members really are, and even by the time the movie was over, you still had questions and wondered about things. So, like I said, they didn't explain enough like they should have.
As for the acting, it was probably the only thing that made this movie worth watching. William Fichtner, which was the guy in the suit, made the movie funny. He was probably more entertaining than Nicolas Cage, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong though, Nick Cage was still the main actor and the storyline revolved around his character, but his role was more serious, like it was suppose to be. Well, until the end of the movie. Amber Heard, which was the character role of Piper, played her part well, too. She had a few humorous scenes, but it was mostly at the beginning. So, I didn't have any problem with any of the actors, just the storyline, really.
If you haven't seen this movie, it's worth watching, if you want to see an action / comedy film. It shouldn't be taken as a full action movie. I didn't see any replay value, because of the storyline. Unless, you just want to see if you can figure it out, after they leave you hanging.

Most early Christian images of Jesus, whether painted on the walls of catacombs, carved in relief on sarcophagi or set in mosaic tiles, can be divided into two general types of portraits: the beautiful, youthful, long-haired Jesus and the older, bearded Jesus. There is no physical description of Christ in any of the Gospels or New Testament letters. What did He look like and why did the eyewitness Gospel writers like Matthew and John fail to record His physical appearance?
Second century church fathers Justin Martyr and Origen point to Isaiah 53 as evidence that Jesus was unattractive: "He has no form nor glory, nor beauty when we beheld him, but his appearance was without honor and inferior to that of the sons of men." At the same time, Origen and others cite the portrayal of God in Psalm 45 as testimony that Jesus was the "most handsome of men" (Psalm 45:2). (see Origin, Against Celsus, 6.75-77; trans. Adapted from Anti-Nicene Fathers, volume 4, p.607 also see St. John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Psalms 44.3
St. Augustine suggested that everyone has a different mental image of Jesus. He wrote: "The physical face of the Lord is pictured with infinite variety by countless imaginations, though whatever it was like He certainly had only one. Nor as regards the faith we have in the Lord Jesus Christ it is in the least relevant to salvation what our imaginations picture Him like...What does matter is that we think of Him as man." (Augustine, On the Trinity 8.7; E. Hill trans., The Trinity, in The Works of St. Augustine, part 1 vol. 5; Brooklyn, N.Y. City Press, 1991, pp. 246-247).
The fourth-century Bishop Cyril of Jerusalem added: "The Savior comes in various forms to each person according to need. To those who lack joy, He becomes a vine, to those who wish to enter in, He is a door; for those who must offer prayers, He is a mediating high priest. To those in sin, He becomes a sheep, to be sacrificed on their behalf. He becomes "all things to all people" remaining in His own nature what He is. For so remaining, and possessing the true and unchanging dignity of Sonship, as the best of physicians and caring teachers, he adapts himself to our infirmities." Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures 10.5 (Andrew A. Stephenson, trans., The Works of Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, vol. 1,(Washington, DC: Catholic University of America Press, 1969, p. 198)
It is interesting that most of the earliest depictions of Jesus are of a youthful, Apollo-like deity. But after Christianity is placed under the protection of the Roman Emperor Constantine in the 4th century, the images of Christ change dramatically and almost exclusively to the bearded Christ. Is this change related to the fact that it was suddenly safe enough to reveal such precious relics as the Mandylion (many scholars believe this relic is known today as the Shroud of Turin) and Veronica's veil, both relics which carried a miraculous image of the Savior unmade by human hands (in Greek = archeiropoitos, "without hands")?
The only physical description of Jesus that does exist is from a copy of a letter from the Roman consul Lentulus to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. This document was discovered in a Monastery with copies of other ancient documents. According to the copy of the letter, the original letter from the consul was dated to the 12 year of the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. Scholars have historical verification that a certain Roman consul named Lentulus was in Judea at the time of Jesus' trial and crucifixion. His influential family is mentioned by the Jewish historian Josephus in his book Antiquities of the Jews. Scholars are divided, however, as to the authenticity of the letter. Lentulus' letter is presented an official report to the Emperor Tiberius. In his letter Lentulus describes the condemned man named Jesus of Nazareth as having: a noble and lively face, with fair and slightly wavy hair; black and strongly curving eyebrows, intense penetrating blue eyes and an expression of wondrous grace. His nose is rather long. His beard is almost blonde, although not very long. His hair is quite long, and has never seen a pair of scissors.....His neck is slightly inclined, so that he never appears to be bitter or arrogant. His tanned face is the color of ripe corn and well proportioned. It gives the impression of gravity and wisdom, sweetness and good, and is completely lacking in any sign of anger. (Holy Land Magazine, Franciscan Holy Land Press, Spring 1998). Whatever information Tiberius received concerning the strange progress of events concerning the death of this Jew, he was shaken enough to present a shocking suggestion to the Roman Senate. There is some historical evidence to support the claim that Tiberius was so convinced of Jesus' resurrection from the dead that he attempted to have Him declared a "god", but the Roman Senate refused to approve this provincial Jew's admission to the Roman pantheon of gods.
It is possible to take the information from Lentulus' letter and add it to the information gathered from the study of the figure of the man on the Shroud of Turin to complete the physical description of Christ. Professor Giovanni Judica-Cordiglia, a Shroud of Turin scholar, took the information collected from the Shroud and interpreted the information using his experience as a doctor and university professor of forensic medicine. He wrote: The man who was wrapped in the Shroud was a man of great beauty and uncommon statue. He was about one meter and 80 centimeters (six feet) tall, with a perfectly proportioned physique, lithe and harmonious. He was a 'standard type' in the most literal sense of the phrase. Although the cloth has suffered much damage, we can see that his face was a very soft and gentle one, rather long and with a broad, straight forehead. The nose is straight and turned slightly downwards; the cheeks are large and slightly protruding. From all the anthropometric calculations so far made, it seems that Christ was physically in far better shape than the average man. Through a complicated process of elaborating his facial data, I can conclude that his cranial capacity was of 1575cc, which would place him in the megalocephalic (large headed) category, with a cranial-capacity coefficient of 95 which would indicate that the weight of his brain was 1492 grams. This is far greater than average, suggesting a person of extraordinary genius (Professor Judica-Cordiglia, Holy Land Magazine, Franciscan Holy Land Press, Spring 1998).
This then, is the word picture we can artfully construct of the Son of Man who came that we might have life. This is the loving and tender face which twisted in pain from the beatings and the excruciating suffering of the Cross; this is the face of our Savior who loves us to the end of time and beyond; this is the face that will greet us when we cross the threshold into eternity.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
(In memory of Randy California)
On the morning after his death
the sun stopped rising;
it sat still on the horizon
staring red-eyed at the motionless dawn-
a bus standing in the shadows where
nobody waited;
a car idling alone at a light frozen red;
the howl of a siren
suspended in air like a note of his music,
waiting for the crisis to pass.
Nothing moved, not even
the image of him dancing across the stage.
I longed for a camera that would
hold the moment,
a recorder to save the sound of a world
holding its breath.
Dawn finally broke into daybreak.
I walked home along the usual route
but the city was transformed-
landmarks had vanished,
street signs twisted in wrong directions.
I have not yet found my bearings.
Sherman Pearl
As a tribute to Randy California,
I have culled, at random, quotes from his favorite poem.
"If you can wait and not be tired of waiting,
Or be lied about, don't deal in lies",
"If you can watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build "em up with worn-out tools;"
"If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run —
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And – – which is more – – you'll be a Man, my son!
-Rudyard Kiplining
And what a beautiful man you grew up to be,
– Mom
From a caring friend
In the Winter and Spring of 2005 an ucanny chain of events
guided me to Randy's mother, Bernice Pearls, residence.
Which only reenforced what I was already witnessing……

If you want traffic, claim your business on GoogleThursday, July 22nd, 2010
As most of you are no doubt aware, I have written extensively on how important it is to claim your business on Google. This service is FREE and THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS INVESTMENT YOU CAN MAKE! Google has just made it more so, by eliminating other "local" search directories from search queries that contain a local qualifier. For instance, if one is looking for "wedding invitations Omaha" on Google you will no longer be able to find directories such as local.com or YELP search rersults. With one deft stroke, Google has killed the competition for local search directories that have been piggy-backing for free on their search network.
Here is what you need to do:
- If you have not claimed your business on Google, do so immediately. It is simple, FREE and the most valuable investment you can make. Just click on the hyperlink and do it now. It takes about 15 minutes.
- If your store is listed on Google, make sure you spruce it up with photographs and other goodies. Post a couple of videos of your store on YouTube and have it linked to your local listing. YouTube is owned by Google and they love to see you playing the game.
- Visit getlisted.org and see how you rank for local search. It is FREE and simple and I would certainly follow the hyperlinks and get listed on these five local search registeries.
Over the next couple of months, I will be rolling out a few inexpensive and easy business strategies to position your business for online search.

A Wily Hunter - 1773 and Knowing your HistoryI like Neo-NeoCon's take on the recent blogosphere kerfuffle over prominent lefties making fun of Sarah Palin's "Party like it's 1773" comment. They of course simply proved what idiots they are by rushing forward on their clear assumption that Palin is more ignorant than they, a rather dubious assumption, and in fact one proven utterly wrong in this case.
For Palin's critics, the significance of the year 1773 was just such an unknown unknown. The idea that Sarah Palin might be subtle enough to make a pun about "party" and "Tea Party" (not that it's all that subtle, but they don't even give her credit for that much wit), and that she also knows something about history that they don't know, is simply incomprehensible to them. Therefore they fell into the trap.I think it is an interesting question whether she and her handlers set a trap here. After the dishonesty of some of the early interviews in the 2008 campaign from the media (Charles Gibson was shameful and Katie Couric hardly better) Palin seems to be rebuilding her stock and making it obvious how silly the Daily Kos is.
Was it actually a deliberate .lure? There's been a bit of speculation in the blogosphere that Palin may have made the reference as bait, knowing that it would be irresistible to some. And maybe she did; after all, she's a wily hunter.

Reports are gathering pace that Eusebio Di Francesco will soon be announced as the new boss of Lecce.
The Stadio Via Del Mare outfit are looking for a Coach after Gigi De Canio left just weeks after ensuring their top-flight status.
Former Cesena tactician Massimo Ficcadenti has been linked with the role, but it is being suggested that the ex-Roma player is also on the club's short-list.
Talks have already taken place with the present Pescara boss who could put pen to paper in the next 48 hours.
Di Francesco, who won 12 caps for Italy, started his coaching career at Lanciano in the summer of 2008.
He was sacked in January 2009 and wasn't handed another job until Pescara called a year later.
The 41-year-old led the then Third Division Pescara into Serie B and helped them finish 13th in the last campaign.

Gabourey Sidibe at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
Hollywood newcomer Gabourey Sidibe blames George Clooney for her soaked dress at the Golden Globes last month – he drenched her with his umbrella.
The "Precious" star donned a light green evening gown for her appearance at the ceremony, but was left squelching on the red carpet in the torrential rain. She sheltered under an umbrella as she posed for snappers outside the event – but still got a soaking when Clooney got too close.
Sidibe says, "It's raining at the Golden Globes, that's where I met him (Clooney). So everyone's got umbrellas and George is standing too close to me and his umbrella is getting me wet because it's underneath my umbrella. I'm finished taking my press photos and I'm completely wet and it's all because of George Clooney."

I like it. The only change I would make is the ability to add custom species. Otherwise, it's an awesome way to track your patches.

In movies like "Revenge of the Nerds," the restive malcontents just want to be able to party and make out with attractive partners, like the alpha males and females. But Tennessee's currently playing "Revenge of the Rubes" is much darker and far less likely to result in anyone having a good time for very long, even the social elites. (Need I mention the obvious, such as global warming, nation-bankrupting wars in the Middle East or first-graders being killed by hails of bullets fired from super-lethal military-style weapons?)
The rubes are angry — very angry — and like the Incredible Hulk, they are not at all likeable when they're angry.
These are some of the things that frighten the rubes and make them so very angry: facts, science, logic, reason, people with darker skin, presidents with funny-sounding names, gays, feminists, liberals, union workers, atheists, agnostics and Muslims.
Now, like sharks when blood is present, the rubes are turning on their own kind. Take, for example, Lamar Alexander, who outshines Marsha Blackburn and Diane Black the way the sun eclipses the moon (by which I mean the dark side). The rubes dearly love Blackburn and Black because they vote in line with Republican positions an astounding 99 percent of the time. But Alexander, being a thinking man rather than an ideologue, has voted in concert with President Obama's positions 62 percent of the time. To the rubes, that's like Luke Skywalker going over to the Dark Side of the Force. So now they're scheming to get rid of Alexander in the next election, in order to replace him with another political zombie.
Never mind that President Obama is correct in his political positions far more often than the increasingly intolerant and fascist GOP. The rubes have no interest in who is actually doing the right things according to human wisdom, because they are guided by faith, not reason. So they "know" that evolution is a lie; that global warming is a hoax; that stricter gun control is the path to totalitarianism; that every human pregnancy is ordained by an all-wise God; and that homosexuality incurs the wrath of God, and thus explains hurricanes and other natural disasters.
People who are overwhelmed by irrational fears seldom make the best possible choices. Now here in Tennessee we have hordes of hyperkinetic Chicken Littles running around fearfully clucking that the sky is falling, when in reality it is their childish fears of nonexistent monsters in the closet that present the greatest danger to our rights and liberty. If, for example, one citizen has the right to carry assault weapons wherever he pleases, with enough ammo to take out an entire school or theater, that more than obviously infringes on the rights of concerned mothers and fathers to know that their children are not being turned into targets in a shooting gallery.
If we see sane, reasonable leaders like Lamar Alexander being replaced by more irrational people like Black and Blackburn, we should not be surprised when the inevitable happens, and Tennessee continues its slide back toward the Dark Ages. If we want progress, it's time to send the political rubes back to their farms, or better yet to the Funny Farm for some serious counseling.
[Note: After I submitted the article above to The City Paper, Marsha Blackburn almost immediately made me seem like a prophet by challenging President Obama to a skeet-shooting contest. At a time when the nation is still mourning the loss of 20 precious first-graders and the six courageous educators who died trying to defend them from yet another mad gunslinger, Tennessee's "Ms. Inappropriate" wants to prove to the world that she can wreak more destruction on clay pigeons. Rather than trying to put an end to the carnage, she intends to wow the rubes and the NRA by demonstrating that she can out-shoot the opposition. Unbelievable.]

It is you imagination, Raspy old boy. You can do with it as you please. LOL
Raspy old boy, with people like you and your mental equal yogi, the GOP is doomed. That is too bad to, because they did have their usefulness at one time.
Sorry, dumba$$, but I'm not a GOPer. And knowing you to be a dumbolcrapper in the Democrat party, I sure wouldn't want to be in that one either.
Once again yogi, you are wrong. I never said I was a Democrat or a Republican. You count two and two and come up a zero.
NEMO, tell us about your school teaching experience? I bet you taught african/american studies at an all white school in Scarsdale, New York.
The question keeps coming back; Why is Obama making the efforts he is to bankrupt this nation?
Could it be he could then place us under Marshal law? Could he then suspend the Constitution and take over as dictator?
Could that be the reason for his Executive Order on October 26, 2012?
Could that be the reason he is forming his "back yard" army and reducing the numbers of our regular services? Could that be why he is working so hard to let the UN take our guns?
LTG William "Jerry" Boykin (Ret.) put it very bluntly: "The situation in America could be such that marital law is actually warranted, and that situation in my view could occur if we had a economic collapse."
I don't know who you have me mixed up with this time Raspy old boy. But it just thrills me to know that you have no idea who I am…but I know you. LOL
GOP Is The Food Stamp Party
It's a well-known irony that states that tend to vote Republican -- the party that constantly raves about the "makers" and trolls the "takers" -- generally take in more tax money than they pay out.
The 10 highest tax-producing states have all been "blue states" over the last few presidential elections. Of the 10 lowest, eight are "red." Even within states, Democratic-leaning counties tend to consume fewer services for the tax money they contribute than red counties do -- even though Democratic areas generally include large urban populations.
Bloomberg recently compiled U.S. Department of Agriculture data and found that, "70 percent of counties with the fastest growth in food-stamp aid during the last four years voted for the Republican presidential candidate in 2008."
Drudge Retort-
Good riddance.
GOP problem: 'Their voters are white, aging and dying off'
NEMO, If you are not Rat Nemovitz then you must be George Washington Lincoln Smith.
I for a moment gave thought to your being Rastus (chicken neck) Cook. I thought better of it h9wever when I remembered Chicken that " Neck" killed himself playing russian roulette.
You are still walking in the dark old boy. Maybe I should call No Clue Raspy.
I for a moment gave thought to your being Rastus (chicken neck) Cook. I thought better of it h9wever when I remembered Chicken that " Neck" killed himself playing russian roulette.
What kind of grammar is this? Something a upper class rube talk?
What is a h9wever?
Wait until you become an expert before you condemn, dumba$$. And I'm afraid that will never be unless you consider yourself an expert idiot.
That is your expertise yogi. You are the expert idiot. LOL
I read an interesting letter Friday, I believe it was, in which the writer pointed out the self destructive, if not outright insanity of many GOP supporters.
The focus of the letter was how many citizens who benefit from such GOP labeled "evils" as Social Security, Medicare, and other federal programs are the very ones who most rabidly support Republicans.
Yet, these same devotees would be the first to squeal like a stuck pig were their benefits taken or reduced.
Reading this, I chuckled as I thought of Mike's article, and how the 'rubes' have what they always wanted: a Republican Utopia.
I cannot help but wonder how soon the honeymoon will be over?
After all, the Democrats have been marginalized by a Republican 'supermajority' so, any blame for Tennessee's problems must be laid directly on the Republican doorstep.
All I can say to the rubes, Republicans, and right wingers is, "Impress me, if you can. You are solely to blame for all the state's ills now."
GOP - symbol - elephant.
DEMs - donkey - aka JackA$$. sounds about right to me! and the dems picked the jacka$$, now didn't they? Self-fulfilled prophesy, I'd say.
GOP -symbol-budlight-yogiman-Rasputin. They got what they wanted.
bud it is a Donkey, not a jackass. So that makes a jackass out of you.
btw bud to farther your education. Both animal are not native to the American soil. I think that is odd.
Aren't you awake yet, dumba$$? It's hard to figure out what you're trying to "say".
Good morning, Captain Nemo.
Your 8:19 post, with it's Frankenstein worthy image of a composite mascot for the GOP has produced a disturbing mental picture.
I believe if such was actually the symbol, the party would wither and die.
An interesting youtube. Anyone have an answer? www.youtube.com/?v=m4WsG9H8eh0/
Hello Ask01
As you can see, yogi attempt to be annoying is a good example of the Republicans demise. He can't even get his insults to mean anything. His mental illness and that of Raspy has made the GOP a very sick elephant, with the runs. This is just sad, because the party has been of use to the country.
Ever read Obama's autobiography "Deams from My Father"? listen to a few comments made from it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I177cU3jsFs&NR=1/ Try it, you might like it.
The latest issue of TIME magazine, (Feb 11, 2013) contains an excellent commentary written by Michael Grunwald which outlines the desperation of the Republican party and the long, steep, broad road they must navigate if they wish to ever again matter in national politics. I say broad, because they must shed the blinders they have donned ans expand not only their narrow view, but their narrow minds as well.
Th author points out the failure of the party to properly evaluate and target the changing demographics of the nation. Additionally noted is the fact that the party has failed to change with the times. Most entertaining to me, at least, was the recounting of some of the last elections campaign mistakes, including demonizing gays, making absurd comments about human physiology, and portraying 47% of the country as slackers and moochers.
I mention and recommend the article as it dovetails nicely into Mike Burch's article. If the Republican party continues to pander to the fringe element, ignore their own moderates, and discount the all powerful swing voters, they could marginalize themselves out of national prominence if not existence.
Tennesseans are not actually stupid or mentally incapable of learning. They, or at least their offspring, will learn and demonstrate the ability to advance and join the rest of the world.
Some great "differently designed" mail boxes. I think the last one should be placed in front of the White House.
Hello Ask01, if you are out there. Rasputin and especially yogi are prim examples of Republican failure to come to grips with an ever changing world. Both relish the old days of the South, when the white man was master. With the emergence of Obama as leader, there realization that this time is over for their type. No longer will the white man rule all alone
Realizing the demise of the white alpha male, they make their last stand in the most shameful and embarrassing way by clinging to one thought. Their inability to adapt will make the change most difficult for all. Especially for there own kind.
Good morning Captain Nemo.
You are 100% correct.
So many cling stubbornly to idealized, romanticized, and often fictionalized perceptions of the past, they refuse to accept history is cyclic and demographics ever changing.
If we rewind about 600 years, I am certain the indigenous people of the America's believed they were perfectly secure in their dominance of their lands. The Native Americans inhabiting the lands comprising North America probably could not conceive of the world as it is today, totally changed.
Likewise the Mayan and Incan cultures.
Retreating further into the past, we can recognize now the migration of population centers and cultures across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. 1000, 2000 years ago, the world looked much different.
Sadly for the troglodytes of today, societal changes develop much faster and they have the misfortune to live at a time point where change is happening on their watch, as it were, and they are truly frightened.
I would be lying if I claimed a total lack of apprehension as I witness the changes, but these are natural events. They have occured long before we were here, and will continue long after our bones have been excavated for display in a musuem dedicated to ancient burial practices in the mid 21st century.
In short, not something I do well, the face of America is changing. You can either accept the fact and be part of the evolution, or retreat into a cave and become another evolutionary dead end.
Have a wonderful Sunday Captain Nemo. I found an excellent recipe for pork cutlets in a tomato caper sauce with onions, garlic and olives I want to try, and much do some shopping.
Til later.
You guys are great comedians. I can't wait to see your reactions if Barry gets to fulfill his move to become dictator.
Why is he in the process so hard to bankrupt our nation and place it under marshal law?

ASKO1..........There is one thing that has never changed since the beginning of mankind.
Let the big dog eat!
Someday I will be a big dog.
You know, Captain Nemo, I grew up in a small town, and spent a lot of time in the country while growing up.
Many times, big dogs, and even small dogs, dreaming of being big dogs, that got out of hand were shot to protect the community. Particularly when they started killing chickens and other animals.
My grandfather killed two big boxers which had wrought havoc on his poultry. In those days, when courts wouldn't have even entertained the notion of a lawsuit in a case where the animals were clearly out of control, killed amidst henhouse carnage, not a single word was said.
I think the big dogs need to be careful, don't you?
Have a great evening. Morning comes awfully early in my nieghborhood
ASSOI..........The odds are always in favor of the big dog especially when he is also the smartest dog on the block.
I understand however that the "dog" population in general votes for their welfare because they are unable to earn or they are unwilling to earn it.

text: I wrote a huge biography earlier, and it told me that i forgot to pick an avatar for him and it deleted the whole thing, and i'm too lazy to write it all again. Should have copied it before i submitted. So here is my shortened substitute! yay :)! But dakota is a awesome dog who looks a lot like a big teddy bear, and he is really lovable and sweet. Old people absolutely adore him, not that i am a old person. I've just taken him to see lots of old people and they loved him. He is a rescue dog, and his favorite past time is laying around, occasionally sleeping, or standing by you panting and wagging his tail whenever you open the fridge or are eating food. He loves food, a lot. He also loves water, going on walks, meeting new dogs, and everything else. He is an absolutely amazing dog, and we love our Dakota boy. We do not know his birthday, so i just put it as 1/1/2000 even though i know he is probably older than that. But we have only had him 6 years, he could be that old for all we know.Add to Favorites

Andy Martino of the Daily News sheds light on the little-known problem that is plaguing Travis d'Arnaud at the plate.
D'Arnaud calls it "The Wrap," that thing he does with his wrists before swinging at a pitch, that thing that helps explain why a great prospect batted .202 in 99 big-league at-bats last year, and is 4-for-25 (.160) this spring.
The Wrap happens when d'Arnaud sees a fat, juicy pitch that he thinks he can turn into a home run. The ball comes his way, and his eyes — well, "they get big," as he puts it, and he rolls, or cocks, or "wraps" his wrists while preparing to swing. The Mets have been trying to cure him of that extra, subconscious movement since last summer, but it's not easy to stop something you don't know you're doing.
"I feel like it's more of a mental thing," d'Arnaud says when asked about the mechanical aspect of eliminating The Wrap. "For me, when I try to hit a home run, or try to hit a ball too far, the wrap will happen. It just happens naturally. I don't even think about it. As far as making it happen less and less for me, it's more of the mental aspect of just staying short, hitting the ball square and (accepting that) where it goes, it goes."
One evaluator who has seen d'Arnaud many times told Martino, "It makes it so he can't catch up with the fastball, and if you can't catch up with a fastball, you'll get killed up here."
D'Arnaud, now 25, apparently agrees with that critique, and is on-board with addressing the issue.
"Oh, exactly," he says. "It's that distance that the barrel of the bat has to travel, which could be, even if it (costs him) .1 second, the ball has .4 seconds until it comes, so that's the difference between you making good contact and you fouling it back."
It's amazing that after nearly a year, this is only coming out now, or at least getting the attention it deserves considering it's our number one hitting prospect and our future core player.
This "wrap thing" was not a big deal in the minors because the game is not as fast as the big-leagues so it wasn't an issue, says d'Arnaud and the scouts. But now it is.
The Mets front office is thrilled by D'Arnaud's self awareness of the problem. Admitting there's a problem is the first step to resolving a problem.
I love this team. They are so fascinating to follow and write about. But sometimes… never mind.

All our 'Festival Mix' Gerbera Plants are grown and shipped in fine quality growing medium. They are guaranteed to arrive alive and ready to plant.
"Very pleased with Festival Mix"
Jan B on 5/9/2014 8:57:54 AM
Comment: I would like to let others know that if they are thinking about ordering from this company they don't need to think any more. The plants I ordered were delivered on time and they were packed and shipped to arrive in perfect condition. The Gerbera plants were healthy and the soil was still very damp so that they didn't even think about wilting. I would not hesitate to order from this company again in the future. The one thing that I wish I could have done was select the exact colors of the Gerber... More details
"Nice gerbera plants"
John T on 3/29/2014 1:16:45 PM
Comment: I received my Festival Mix Gerbera plants in very good condition.I have been a customer of GrowJoy for a number of years and consider them one of the best; they are always reliable.
"Gerbera plants"
Suzi V on 5/17/2013 8:18:06 AM
Comment: The plants arrived very healthy and ready to plant. Gerbera is new to me this year and I can't wait for them to bloom. I have never had bad luck with any of GrowJoy plants.
