I saw most of the Dream Job finalists in Sunday night's show. I'm sorry they had to cut someone. My question is why did the ESPN talent guy tell the last guy STRAIGHT UP "you don't look like/seem like an anchor to me?" Boy, talk about getting the door slammed in your face! The guy was actually very witty and a pretty good anchor. The biz has always been too subjective. One person thinks you stink and the next guy thinks you're the best thing since sliced bread. It's a shame. My bet is the ex-intern, Aaron Levine, gets the nod.
i fucking hate dream job. i watched the first five minutes and got bored. o yeah and that fake token black guy that hosts it should shine his glass eye.lol
I agree the first episode was horrible. Stuart Scott did an awful job hosting it. He wasn't funny at all. I was embarassed for him. However, he has gotten better the past few episodes. They are much better than the first and Stuart Scott has stopped trying to put on a comic act. So I reccomend watching the show one more time.

Back pain is a common problem among many people worldwide. There are several reasons that can lead to back pain.
Some of the most common reasons for back pain include having a poor sitting posture, frequent bending and lifting heavy loads among others.
If you are suffering from back pain, you can do away with injections, surgery and frequent physical therapy if you engage in inversion therapy. The use of inversion tables is one of the best natural ways that reduces back pain.
This is a process that allows you to hang upside down to stretch your spine.
Inversion therapy brings about a traction force throughout the spine hence decreasing back pain.
On this post, I will help you understand in details how inversion tables work for back pain.
How Do Inversion Tables Work to Reduce Back Pain?
The inversion table greatly helps in eliminating pain on your back. How does this happen?
This is because it takes off the load on your back. Many studies indicate that the use of inversion therapy brings about some traction through the lumber spine.
During inversion, there can be a separation of up to 3mm between the lumber vertebrae.
Inversion therapy also increases the space between vertebrae by reducing the gravitational pressure from the roots and disks in the spine. As a result, it stretches the spine hence relieving back pain.
The pain you feel is caused by the accumulated pressure on your nerves and discs.
When you relieve this pressure, the pain will go away. The whole point of an inversion table is to flip your body and this makes it easy to unload your joints, bones and the discs in the lower back.
These tables work well and eliminate back pain. According to studies carried out, over 77 percent of people who suffer from back pain avoid surgery. Studies also indicate that this technique doesn't provide long-term relief from back pain.
But for many people, the temporary traction is helpful in their treatment program because it reduces lower back pain.
When you are inverting, there is reduced heartbeat and increase in blood pressure.
You will experience most of the pressure on your eyeballs. It is great if you seek medical assistance if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma or heart disease before using inversion tables.
What are Some of the Benefits of Using Inversion Tables?
There are so many ways in which you will benefit from having an inversion table. Inverting is the best exercise that stretches your spine. It is a great approach if you do not want to undergo surgery or take injections and medicines. Here are the benefits of using inversion therapy.
- Inversion tables relief pain by reducing the pressure
- Gives you a nice posture by realigning the spine
- Relaxes tensed muscles
- Provides long-term and complete relief from back pain
- Decreases inflammation
- Boosts blood circulation
- Improves the spinal health and makes you flexible
How to Get the Best Results When Using Inversion Tables
Now that you know how an inversion table works in eliminating back pain, it is also great if you know how to use an inversion table to avoid causing more damages to your spine. When you are inverting, it is great if you start at low angles from 20-30 degrees.
Once you are used, you can advance to more angles depending on how comfortable you feel.
Get the inversion table with proper padding so that you can feel comfortable throughout the process.
The process is pretty simple because you just need to sit down, ensure the ankle pads and the seatbelt are in place and then lean back. The chair converts to a flat table and the gravity and your body weight combine and keep your back straight.
Check the inversion table reviews to know more about the top inversion table on the market.
Final Words
Inversion tables work well and so many people have found a relief from back pain through inversion therapy.
There are two types of inversions tables that you can choose to use. You can opt for a manual one that is controlled by your body weight or go for an automatic one that has a remote control.
Whichever model you choose, always consult your doctor before engaging in inversion therapy.
People with the following conditions should not use inversion tables; high blood pressure, increased heart rate, glaucoma, obesity, pregnancy, blood clotting conditions or cardiovascular disease.
I would also encourage staying active especially if you are suffering from nonspecific back pain.
With frequent exercises, you can eliminate pain on your back. You can seek help from your doctor or physical therapist on the best exercises to engage in.

Sometimes a picture really does matter.
When I was running through different movies to watch on Amazon Prime, I saw this title ("I am David"), the picture, and did NOT read the synopsis and instantly assumed it was an old Biblical tale about King David. Not that there is anything wrong with movies like, I just wasn't in the mood to watch them.
But this movie occurs nearly 2000 years later in 1952 communist Bulgaria.
David is the name of a small boy determined to grasp at the ring of life.
David has known little more than the brutal truth of socialist and/or communist rule and the dank grey nasty brutish environment of a political enemies internment camp.
And that my RVing friends is just where the story begins.
But along the way, you can experience Davids journey where he learns about hope, redemption, and freedom.
Random notes:
- Cinematography is very good.
- Surprisingly sparing dialog – which did not hurt the movie at all.
- The STAR of the show was a young boy actor with a wonderful performance.
- Joan Plowright was absolutely wonderful in the play.
- I think the movie underperformed ratings-wise and is deserving of much higher ratings.
- A really great, if abbreviated, glimpse of life in a non-Republic society from the view of the camps that contain people who champion democracy/republic-ism.
Please let me know what you thought of this movie. RV52.com sure enjoyed it.

How Cloud Telephony Companies like Big V Telecom are Helping Indian Startups Grow
Today, India is the 3rd largest startup hub in the world. And innovative cloud telephony companies have played a significant role creating this hospitable environment of growth for small companies.
A decade back cloud hosting and communication was a luxury which could be afforded only by big corporations. The cause was largely due to hosting companies like Amazon and IBM who were keeping prices high in their quest for profits. It all changed when Google entered the hosting market in early 2008 and offered cheaper "hosting as a service" to small and medium business, causing industry wide price drops.
This enabled new startups to dive into business opportunities hidden in the cloud. These small companies would in turn provide affordable solutions to help other small and medium businesses.
One such domain was the niche market of cloud telephony in India.
As it happens in any market in a nation of 1.2 billion people, the industry imploded with innovative solutions. Being much more affordable than call centers and PBX systems, one of the major users of this new technology today are small and medium businesses.
Infact, cloud telephony solutions require zero added infrastructure investment to use. This alone exponentially increased its appeal to entrepreneurs who tend to work with distributed teams and are more likely to spend their limited resources in hiring talent than on infrastructure and space.
Even better, cloud telephony companies in india such as Big V Telecom, a Tata Elxsi incubated firm, have introduced the "single number" approach for businesses. Their flagship product YOCC allows clients to add unlimited extensions to departments and employees. Customers of such startups can simply call one number to reach across multiple departments. Such firms also find it convenient to communicate internally using the same number.
Another great use of products like YOCC is the scalability that they offer. In traditional phone systems, once the PBX box is full, you will need to purchase a new one and then integrate it with the old network grid to get the calls flowing. In other words – more expenditure, more space occupancy and a wired mess.
On the other hand, if one needs to add new employees to the network grid, all it takes is a simple extension. Since there is no limit to extensions, a business can grow using the same number from anywhere. This is how cloud telephony numbers with YOCC often evolve into being a brand identity of the firm.
These advantages and many more, put together has helped the startup industry in India to blossom much sooner than anticipated. Experts even predict India to have more startups than the US no later than 2022.

The largest solar storm of the last five years impacting the Earth
The planet was hit today by a solar storm of major proportions. Besides affecting the magnetic field, the phenomenon could have an impact on the lifestyle of millions of people. According to information published by the Associated Press, a huge cloud of charged particles will impact the Earth and could wreak havoc on electricity grids.
The storm began a couple of days in the sun's surface, however a distance of about 150 million kilometers delayed its arrival on our planet. The air flights are not free of technical flaws, especially the routes of airlines operating in the northern hemisphere, AP reported. The agency noted that navigation systems are also susceptible. GPS devices use satellites to determine precise locations anywhere in the world.
Another possible impact of the storm is the appearance of auroras beyond the north and south poles. Auroras appear as light waves of different colors at night. U.S. scientists believe that after its origin in two solar flares, the particles move at a speed of over six million miles per hour.
Joe Kunches, a scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), based in Colorado, said the storm "is hitting us right in the nose." The space weather specialist revealed that the solar phenomenon is divided into three stages, each with different impacts on Earth.
Last Tuesday, two flares that moved at the speed of light struck the Earth. Kunches said that such eruptions can affect the transmission of radio signals. The specialist said that the planet was surrounded by solar radiation from Wednesday, warning that this phase would remain in effect for several days. The plasma cloud that hit Earth since Thursday has the potential to affect oil and high-precision GPS systems, used in oil drillers, surveyors, and some agricultural operations, scientists said.
Doug Biesiecker, expert from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), said that less sophisticated GPS systems, like those found in vehicles should not be affected by the solar storm. Meanwhile, the magazine New Scientist published a study that reveals a direct connection between solar storms and human beings.

Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with my hon. colleague, the member for Nickel Belt, the great riding that surrounds my great riding.
I am proud to rise in the House today to debunk the Conservative spin machine about the myths which members of the governing party have been reciting verbatim in their talking points on the government's second massive omnibus budget implementation bill that has been presented this year.
No, this is not The Matrix, but I think I am having a case of déjà vu as yet again parliamentarians have been presented with another massive omnibus bill that would make amendments to a wide range of acts often unrelated to one another and many having no place whatsoever in a budget bill.
The Conservatives clearly have not learned the lesson, which their own backbenchers like the member for Kootenay—Columbia highlighted in a meeting with his constituents on omnibus budget one back in the spring, namely, that Canadians do not approve of the Conservative approach of ramming legislation through Parliament without allowing Canadians and MPs to thoroughly examine it.
New Democrats understand this and, in our role as official opposition, we will not let Conservatives quietly pass this new omnibus legislation.
Canadians deserve better. They deserve transparency. They deserve a government that understands their priorities. They deserve a government that does not place the gutting of environmental protections over job creation. Come 2015, Canadians will get the government they deserve when they elect New Democrats from coast to coast to coast to govern, to increase transparency and prosperity for all Canadians.
The Conservative spin machine would like Canadians to believe that the second budget implementation act would lead to widespread job creation across the country. However, in spite of the ironic name of the bill, the jobs and growth act, the bill lacks significant measures to create jobs and stimulate long-term growth in the Canadian economy.
In fact, while the Conservative's PMO-supplied talking points claim that budget 2012 centres on job creation, Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer has indicated that the budget would cost 43,000 Canadians their jobs. Moreover, the budget itself forecasts a real rise in unemployment. So much for the self-created myth that the bill will lead to job creation.
The main policy prescription contained in Bill C-45 to stimulate job creation is the extension of the small business tax credit for new hires. This temporary measure offers a tax refund for small business employers on a portion equal to about $1,000 maximum of the employer's contribution to EI premiums, if the employer's EI premiums, which were $10,000 or less in 2011, and are greater in 2012.
While New Democrats support this measure, it is very limited and only gives employers a maximum of $1,000 in credits on their new EI employer payments. To make matters worse, it is only applicable in 2012.
Further, because the extension of this tax credit was not presented in the first budget implementation act, but rather was deferred until this fall session, small businesses were not able to plan for this measure for 2012, as the timing of this measure's introduction may come too late in the year for businesses to begin the planning necessary to take advantage of this tax credit.
As the Conservative's spin machine has taken a liking to referencing the NDP's 2012 election platform, let me use this opportunity to highlight that the New Democrats proposed a similar yet far more robust job creation tax credit, which can be found on page 8 of the party's platform.
The New Democrats proposed the introduction of a job creation tax credit that would provide up to $4,500 per new hire. Under the New Democrat's plan, employers would receive a one year rebate on the contributions for the Canada pension plan and Employment Insurance premiums for each new employee hired.
Further, companies and organizations that keep a new employee for 12 months or more, would have been eligible for a retention bonus, a $1,000 non-refundable tax credit. At the time of its presentation, independent analysis determined that this initiative would have helped create approximately 200,000 family-supporting jobs a year. Certainly this more expansive tax credit would be more beneficial than the meagre job creation strategy contained in budget 2012. If my math is right, this plan would create 243,000 more jobs than budget 2012 would, as the budget would directly result in the net loss of 43,000. That is some job creation strategy the PMO has cooked up.
Let me now use an on the ground example of how budget 2012 is having a negative effect on job creation in my riding of Sudbury, and I am certain in communities right across our great country. With budget 2012, there was a specific element designed to "streamline" government services. However, this streamlining was really just an exercise in slashing, cutting and burning with what had been effective programs provided by government to serve the needs of businesses both small and large in my community and in communities across our country.
For example, the closure of the regional Citizenship and Immigration office serves as a prime example of this ideological drive to cut back on these important services. The shuttering of Sudbury's office deprives my region of vital service which cannot be replaced by online services. In fact, there are a number of functions that are mandatory and have to be carried out in person, such as immigration interviews and citizenship exams. Depriving my region of immigration offices means that these interviews have to be carried out in southern Ontario, adding a burden for both employer and employee, while making it less likely that people will choose northern Ontario for sectors that require skilled workers and skilled immigration.
Moreover, cuts at Service Canada has businesses of all sizes waiting 14 weeks, which used to be two weeks, for labour market opinions, a dramatic increase in that traditional processing time of two weeks. As a result, some of Sudbury's business owners are now forgoing expansion because of this extra unneeded hassle.
I am not the only one in my community sounding the alarm bells over these cuts. According to the president of the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce, skilled labour remains vital to the success of the local industry and it is a really big issue for its members. He said, "They cannot find sufficient skilled labour locally and are looking nationally and internationally for those workers".
These examples are illustrative of how the PMO's ideological crusade against government services are having an adverse effect on local industry and the competitiveness of Canadian business, further debunking the Conservative spin that budget 2012 will result in robust job creation.
Ultimately this begs this question. Why is the government stifling economic growth, curbing job growth and putting the long-term health of Canada's economy at risk with reckless cuts contained in budget 2012?
I will close by reinforcing the notion that the New Democrats will always be proud to stand up for transparency and accountability. We will always stand up for sound economic policies which promote job creation and economic prosperity for all. We will always stand up for environmental protection. Finally, we will always stand up for retirement security and health care.

Yet another bad ass production from Hale's Speed Shop, a 1936 Ford 5 Window Coupe dropped lower than an F1 car. Hale's Shop have a certain style that only they can pull off and it's brilliant. You can just tell that mechanically these cars are perfect with new chassis's and modern brakes, suspension and exhausts system being fitted. Externally they car's don't need to be perfect, the rear of the Ford still shows how far the rust got before the dealt with it. I like that it's a very honest look, they don't go the for perfect car show finish and I'm glad they don't as I think this is there finest work to date.
With a true hot rod exposed engine the LSX engine looks fantastic, I bet thing thing packs a huge punch due to the fact that it's been fitted with a turbo. The engine always have a lot of attention lavished upon them, all black with the usual silver but it really fits the Ford well. The side exit exhausts look amazing and give the car an even more aggressive look than it already had. The air suspension makes this thing drop so close to the ground you couldn't get a cigarette paper under it.
Apparently the 1936 Ford 5 Window Coupe belongs to TJ from Hale's Speed Shop. They said "It seemed like yesterday we were picking this car up in Missouri and bringing it back down to the shop, that was 4 years ago, now this car a turbo'd LSX and has a new chassis, and is his daily driver. I haven't taken pictures of this car in a while, until now." This is one of the things that sets this garage apart from the rest is the quality and style of the photography.

Windows 8 + Integrated Communication + Cloud on Windows 8 – Microsoft Growth Engine
The immediate challenge on hand for Microsoft is that it has to prove is that it is not caught in the death spiral of declining PC demand. With Windows 8, it enables touch-based hardware in new and interesting (more functional) form factors. Also, this enables new and interesting apps, including light-weight "disposable apps" that have a faster tempo of new releases and are accessible from the Windows Store in the cloud.
In addition, the pen input device should play well in the Office environment, enabling users to mark up documents on-line versus printing these out in hard copy, and then save documents to the cloud in a users default SkyDrivebased file, enabling these documents or files to be accessed by the user on any other Windows 8 device.
Enterprise Collaboration in the Form of Social Network – Yammer technology married to Office, enables collaboration, which is a big deal in architecting next-generation enterprise applications.
Integrated communications with the addition of Skype to Office (also leveraged in the future with Xbox and Windows Phone 8 so things like video conferencing can be done not only in the enterprise setting but also on the big screen at home for the kids to video chat with grandma through Kinect or for users of mobile devices to conference in and share documents or video chat).
SkyDrive enabling storage of files (Office documents as well as personal photos and music like with iCloud) which can then be accessed by other Windows 8 devices back in the office, on the road or at home. The ability to collaborate with colleagues, customers and friends should be facilitated with the cloud, and the ease of sharing files among users various devices should also be much easier in the cloud. Also, new versions of Office can be accessed as a service through the cloud from various devices as well.
In the next 2 months we see a new platform coming into play that should come together in a synergistic way to enable richer functionality for differentiation that could be important in markets that value Windows and Office compatibility. Windows 8 will be released on October 26th in India and Worldwide, and a new version of the Office suite (Office 2013) to roll out in phases beginning in October.

Lone PH bet Ronildo Palmera bags medals in Nomad Games
The country may not be well-represented in the biennial meet but Palmera made sure to return home with not one, but two medals
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines only had one representative in the 2018 World Nomad Games but he is quite the winner.
Filipino Ronildo Palmera struck two medals in the biennial meet, which is dedicated to ethnic sports practiced in Central Asia, last Saturday, September 8 in Kyrgyzstan.
Palmera nabbed silver in the Toguz Korgool event – a form of the mangala game popularly known in the Philippines as "sungka" – and bronze in the Yakutian Intellectual Table Games.
During the opening ceremonies, Palmera proudly carried the Philippine flag despite being the only delegate from the country.
He seeks for more attention and growth for sungka.
"Mga kababayan 'wag po nating hayaang ito'y mabalewala, ito po ay malaking karangalan sa ating bansa at lahi," Palmera wrote on Facebook.
(My countrymen, let's not allow the game to be forgotten. It's a big honor to the country and to our heritage.)
"Atin po itong paglinangin pa at malaki ang potensyal nating mga Pilipino sa intelektuwal na larong ito na para na nating kinakalimutan lalo na ang bagong henerasyon."
(We should develop it because Filipinos have great potential in this intellectual game that seems to be forgotten by the younger generations.)
The Nomad Games, which started in 2014 with 14 events, has grown into 37 sports with 80 participating countries. – Rappler.com

Mexico rallies to win Gold Cup
LOS ANGELES — In some ways Saturday night's Gold Cup final at the Rose Bowl followed form.
For the third time in as many tournaments the title game matched the U.S. and Mexico, for example. And it drew a sellout crowd of 93,420.
Aside from that, though, it was a match full of surprises — not the least of which was final score: 4-2 Mexico.
Consider that Mexico's Javier Hernandez, who came into the game leading the tournament with seven goals, did not score. Or that U.S. keeper Tim Howard, who hadn't given up a goal in 3 1/2 games, allowed four.
And then there's U.S. Coach Bob Bradley. Criticized earlier in the tournament for his lack of creativity he looked like a strategic genius Saturday, giving starts to Freddy Adu and Landon Donovan, and watching them stake the U.S. to 2-0 lead.
Then the Rose Bowl caved in.
While the United States was busy watching Hernandez, Pablo Barrera scored twice and Andres Guardado and Giovani Dos Santos had a goal apiece to give Mexico its second consecutive Gold Cup title and a record sixth overall.
At stake Saturday was the region's berth in the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil, the all-important tune-up to the next World Cup. Just as important, however, were regional bragging rights , something the United States and Mexico have been trading with regularity in recent years.
And this shootout started early, with Michael Bradley heading an Adu corner kick off the right arm of Mexican keeper Alfredo Talavera and into the net in the eighth minute.
Donovan, who started the last two matches on the bench, briefly quieted the overwhelmingly pro-Mexican crowd in the 23rd minute, taking a deft pass from Clint Dempsey that split the defense before sending a left-footed shot into the back of the net to make it 2-0.
In less than 24 minutes the U.S. had scored as many goals as Mexico had allowed in its previous five matches combined. Yet the lead would last less than 15 minutes and the Americans wouldn't score again.
First Hernandez, accustomed to being the finisher, became the distributor by sending a through ball up the right side to Barrera, who calmly beat Howard just inside the near post.
Next Mexico took advantage of some confusion in the U.S. backline to tie the game when Eric Lichaj fumbled his chance to clear a Dos Santos shot, allowing Andres Guardado to pounce on the rebound, getting just enough of his boot on the ball the get it across the goal line.
Five minutes into the second period Mexico went ahead to stay after Guardado chested down a loose ball down just outside the penalty area and fed Barrera moving through the box to his right . From there Barrera had an open shot at the far post and he didn't miss.
The U.S. had two good chances at the equalizer but Talavera snatched Adu's bending left-footed free kick just below the crossbar in the 58th minute and two minutes later Dempsey collected a loose ball from Bradley and loosed a left-foot rocket that struck the top of the goal.
Dos Santos finally closed things out with one of the best individual efforts of the tournament.
First he dribbled in on Howard to draw the keeper out of the box. Then with the keeper crawling after him, swiping with his hands at the ball, Dos Santos retreated, spun and lifted a rainbow toward to the far post, where it dropped just over a leaping Lichaj and into the goal.

Quiet and clear
NCAA TOURNAMENT: South Regional Robin Lopez gladly yields the spotlight
Robin Lopez is known mainly for not being Brook Lopez. He is the "other" Stanford twin, so overshadowed that he has not had a story written about him.
There have been plenty of stories about Brook and Robin Lopez as a pair and quite a few about Brook Lopez, but Robin Lopez acknowledged Wednesday there has not been a story written specifically about him.
This will be the first, even though his increased offensive production the past six weeks is a major reason the Cardinal earned a No. 3 seed for today's first-round NCAA Tournament game against Cornell.
He's not complaining. Robin would just as soon avoid the spotlight, which so often focuses on his brother. Even though he usually offers an insightful perspective when dealing with the media, Robin admits he'd rather be some place else.
"There are just things I'd rather do," he said.
Like sketching, a pregame exercise he will have to do without today.
"I foolishly left my sketchpad at Stanford," he said. "It's comforting. I always feel my mind is leaking ideas."
He is the introspective one. Emotions seem to drive Brook, who is comfortable being front and center. Brook is the one who allegedly first dribbled a basketball when he was 2 and made a 10-foot shot when he was 4. It was Brook who announced in second grade that he would attend Stanford and play in the NBA someday. It was Brook who performed in several high school plays. It is Brook who was an all-conference selection and a sure bet to be a lottery pick in the NBA draft when he turns pro.
Robin does not begrudge the attention his brother gets.
"I suppose it's nice not being the focus of triple teams," Robin said. "It makes it a little easier."
Lately, teams have been sending a second defender at Robin, who has averaged 12.1 points over the past 12 games after averaging 6.7 points in the first 12 games. Robin has displayed an aggressiveness on offense that had not been present before, when it seemed he deferred to his brother. Now he's finally showing that hint of selfishness Cardinal coaches have been encouraging.
"Yeah, it's been a pleasant surprise," Stanford assistant coach Doug Oliver said. "There had been a bit of a void on the other side" from Brook.
Robin says it's merely a product of taking better shots and getting accustomed to having Brook back on the court.
Others say it parallels Robin's overall growth. He will always be more introverted than Brook. "But," forward Lawrence Hill said, "he's opened up a lot this year."
Robin will not seek the glory available at the offensive end. He still considers his best game the one at Cal, even though he had only nine points. He was proud of grabbing 14 rebounds and limiting Cal's Ryan Anderson to 11 points, tying his season low.
Soon thereafter, Robin's offensive aggressiveness surfaced, making its first appearance in overtime of the Feb. 2 game against Washington State. Stanford led by a point, when Robin's majestic, spinning 10-foot basket with 14 seconds left provided the winning margin. Brook said he had seen the move countless times in their rough-and-tumble games in their driveway, and Oliver said he had seen it many times in practice. The public, though, had seen nothing like it from Robin.
He scored in double figures in nine of the next 10 games, raising his NBA stock to the cusp of first-round status should he choose to leave school after this season.
"I've just been a little more selfish lately," Robin said.
He should be advised that might draw some attention.
Stanford today
Who: Stanford vs. Cornell
Where: Anaheim
When: 2 p.m. (approximate)
TV/Radio: Channel: 5 Channel: 13 Channel: 46 / 1050
Vitals: No. 3 seed, 26-7, 13-5 Pac-10, 2nd
Coach: Trent Johnson, 4th year
Top players: F Brook Lopez, C Robin Lopez, G Mitch Johnson
Vitals: No. 14 seed, 22-5, 14-0 Ivy League, 1st
Coach: Steve Donahue, 8th year
Top players: F Ryan Wittman, G Louis Dale, G Adam Gore
Story line
Stanford has not won an NCAA Tournament game since 2004, losing in the first round in 2005 and 2007. Cornell has not won an NCAA Tournament game and is in the event for the first time since 1988. Cornell is riding a 16-game winning streak, the second longest in the country at the moment.
Keys: 1. Cornell is an excellent three-point shooting team, and Ryan Wittman and Adam Gore need to be hot from long range. 2. Stanford has a size advantage with 7-footers Brook and Robin Lopez and should be able to score from close range and control the boards. 3. The longer Cornell stays close, the better its chances, because the pressure will mount on Stanford, the heavy favorite.

Just For Those Who Have Read My Posts!
Cesspool Society!Death Of Religion!Homosexuality!
This Paula Dean situation has me so awfully disgusted with the state of things in this country, I can't even begin to tell you! My grandfather always said that the only thing that will fix this country is another civil war, I never understood why he was so sure that such a strong action would ever even be needed, until now! There is zero privacy left for any of us, even our own government spies on us, we're in danger of losing our right to bear arms, and there is no such thing of freedom of speech. Sad that our own citizens are the ones that have robbed the rest of us, that, along with our freedom of religion! They went so far as to disallow prayer in schools!
Back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s life was totally different, people had some religion, currently most children don't know God and have never heard of the ten commandments, parents don't make it a priority! Yes, back in the day, most teens went to the drive in rather than go out partying all the time, getting slop drunk and having sex with anyone they could find. Girl's weren't encouraged to get pregnant, safe sex wasn't an issue because they were taught abstinence instead. Freedom of speech was a reality and those gays that were around, they kept their preferences to themselves, rather than flaunt their sex lives. Can you imagine them having the audacity to have ever pushed for the rights given to married men and women, back then?
In those days many people were able to go to bed, without stressing about whether or not they locked all of their doors and windows! Crime wasn't nearly as bad as it's become, but what do you expect in a world that's become far worse than Sodom and Gomorrah? Step back and look at it 100 percent unbiased, without feelings and just letting your logic lead. Don't let the fact that you might have a gay friend or relative, influence you. Now, think of the Bible, where in that book did you ever see it written that a couple of the same sex should be married? Where does it say that God finds that acceptable? Before you spend a year trying to look, I'll tell you, you will not find either in the Bible anywhere! Once again, people want to change the word of God, to say what they want, attempting to justify their behavior, their actions, their lust, their sins. In the not so far future, many of us will rue the day that churches will cave in and allow gay marriages, pre marital sex and Heaven forbid, suppressing our right to freedom of speech!
Now I truly believe that God is all loving, that if we follow his word, we will indeed be rewarded. However, the Bible lets us know that while he is a loving God, he will not allow sinners to be rewarded, or for the good books words to be twisted, warped and downright contradicted! It may be a drastic example, but think of a torturing, thieving, abusive brute, who slaughtered twenty people and nineteen of them were small, innocent children. Can you imagine him standing at the gates of Heaven saying that nowhere in the Bible did it say that one couldn't slaughter 1 adult and 19 children? That those words weren't written there? How about a gay man standing there, saying that the good book stated that a man shall not lay with another man, and that he and his partner only stood? Or, the same telling God what the book that God wrote did and did not say? How if it was a sin, then why did so many others in the world, also condone it and push for their equality? Huh, there will be endless others in line behind him, who will have to turn back and take a 1 way ride into hell!
Please understand, a good Christian shouldn't hate or abuse homosexuals, but when it is condoned by a person, it then becomes their sin as well. By agreeing that they should have all of these different rights that are expressly afforded to normal married men and women, well that is the same as you yourself being gay! There's something else you can forever search the Bible for, and wont find, nowhere does it say that you can be a homosexual, you should go out into the streets pissing and whining about not having rights that a man and woman have, or that you should publicly speak about your sexual likes & dislikes, preferences, sexual positions, etc. Take a lesson from normal heterosexuals, keep such things private! That should be common sense, at the very least, as well as common courtesy!
A Grave Warning About Signing Hospital Forms!
I recently had a nightmare of a problem, both with my health, and with an area hospital, take my advice, do not sign anything in a hospital, without reading it yourself or having someone with you, read it first! The hospital staff all know that when you are in severe distress, you aren't likely to read what they put it front of you before signing it, most of the time you aren't able to.
I went for nearly a week with severe pain until I couldn't stand it anymore and went to a local clinic, after my doctor didn't return my calls after three days. The physician there wanted to call an ambulance as he believed that I was suffering from an abdominal aortic aneurysm, they weren't an urgent care facility and he convinced me to get to the hospital immediately. Living in northeastern Pennsylvania in the country, the closest hospital was in Scranton, so I went to Moses Taylor.
After registering, the nurse took me in to get a history and my vitals, she also drew blood, after sticking my veins four times, and digging in the veins for five minutes. Then she took me back to a curtained area and left me there for two hours in agony, until I walked out! During that time, sitting there with the nurses right there in sight behind the desk, gossiping and not doing much else, no one so much as came into the area I was in, no one said one word or acknowledged that I was there.
Since it was Friday, I made it home and planned on trying to suffer through it until Monday when I'd call and beg my doctor to help me. Saturday afternoon a nurse from the hospital called my house, she said that they'd gotten the results from my blood work and I needed to come back in right away. All I could get out of her was that I was severely anemic, she said she could tell me that since I was already aware and that my glucose was extremely high, as well. She wouldn't tell me what was so pressing, about the results and insisted I come back, so I did.
Again, I sat there waiting until a so called doctor came in, pressed on my stomach and told me that he's have the nurse take care of my pain, and they would do some tests on me. In the meantime, two hours go by and a girl comes in with papers for me to sign, she said they were just consent to treat forms. After she'd left, my mother who was with me, began looking the forms over. This girl checked the box giving permission for them to take any images pertaining to me, for teaching and other purposes, I didn't approve of that. She also wrote on her hand writing that there would be a $100.00 co pay, for the semi private room they put me in! The real clincher, was that they have you sign, giving permission for them to release your records, and do not tell you to what parties your confidential records will be released to! If you question that, they'll claim that you will be billed and the insurance will not pay, otherwise! This is not true, be extremely careful with what a hospital has you sign, or you might very well be sorry!
I ended up walking out, after hours of sitting there with no tests done besides more blood work, no pain relief, no one giving the slightest damn,until I went to walk out. A nurse that three people said they'd get, for over an hour and couldn't find, came and said that she was just coming in to treat my pain and do some tests. I went back in, they drew more blood and the doctor came back in, after explaining about a surgery I needed but couldn't be done, due to the anemia and asking if they could do an ultra sound to see if that was the problem, he rudely, loudly talked over me, I hurt so bad I turned to my mother and asked her to try and explain it to him. He said to her sarcastically, an who are you, doctor _____? I said, she's my mother, who'd know my medical history a hell of a lot better than you! I got up to leave and he said not to move until I signed some form, because it was likely a serious problem I had. I told him no, I wasn't signing anything else, since he told me the blood work was all in order!
Not only is Moses Taylor Hospital, filled with many so called doctors, who I wouldn't trust to look at my cat, it isn't the cleanest hospital around, not at all! It seems that some of the medical staff, didn't get the memo about universal precautions, and wearing gloves for their own and the patients protection. When you live in a small town and aren't close to any of the bigger cities with the better hospitals, it can be a matter of life and death. Please hear me well, and read ever last line of the forms that they want you to sign, before doing so. Have someone with you if you aren't able, since most people are in a bad way when they go there and don't have the foggiest idea!
Questions About Religion
I have always been curious about each, of the many different religions, as I can't say that there has been one that I can agree on all that it believes. I know many Catholics and began there, in my quest of which religion was right for me. I made an appointment with the Monsignor of a local Catholic church, to see if he could answer a few of the questions I had. First, I asked him why it was that they consider babies to be born with original sin. He said that it went way back to when Eve ate the forbidden apple in the garden of Eden, and as a result, the gates of heaven were closed to all souls. Then I asked him why Jesus was crucified, why God allowed that to be done to his only son, he responded by saying that it had to be done, he had to be sacrificed so that we all had the chance to be saved, to get into heaven! I didn't feel that it made any sense, if Jesus died for our sins, so that the worthy could get into heaven, then how could babies be born with original sin? I also wondered why the Catholics make the sign of the cross over their chests upon entering the church. The Monsignor said that they just do it out of respect, pretty much. But, the bible states for men to do their alms in private, not in public for the benefit of others seeing! And what really confuses me, is why the Catholics have so many prayers, to so many different saints, and why all the prayers to Mary, along with the hail Mary stuff? He had no clear answers to that one, but the bible states that God is a very jealous God, and there shall be no others before him. Aren't prayers said to Gods?
Okay, so I have some tough questions and I'm sure for many of them, there really aren't any answers, but I'd like to at least make sense of some of it all. Like when Jesus was on the cross with the two criminals beside him, the one man said that if Jesus really was the son of God, then save himself, and them! The other criminal told him that they were getting what they deserved, but that Jesus had done no wrong, then he said to Jesus to remember him when he came into his kingdom. Jesus responded, "Today thou shalt be with me in paradise". Fast forward to Mary when she saw Jesus outside of the tomb where he was laid to rest, he told her, "Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended unto my father". Where was he for three days? Where did he go?
The Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs don't make sense to me either, some of them that is. Life is a gift, so why is it they do not believe in celebrating birthdays? They don't believe in the sign of the cross, stating that Jesus died on a stake,okay, perhaps he did, but what does that matter? He was crucified for our sins, period, whether it was on a post, a cross, an iron rod, it doesn't change it. The fact that they do not believe in saluting the flag, well, that's kind of a sensitive thing for me. I can actually understand in part, why they don't, it has nothing to do with whether or not a person is proud of their country, I think it's more of what it stands for. There have been so many wars throughout history, so much fighting, constant conflict. Sure, we can be proud of our soldiers, themselves, but since Obama has taken over our Government, I think there are record numbers of people who are not proud, so many of our young sons that had their whole lives ahead of them, are dead. Why? Because we have always had a habit of sticking our noses in where they don't belong, and not sticking it in there, when we should have! But the major dissatisfaction with Obama is for another post.
I can't really say a whole lot about the Jewish faith, because I don't know a whole lot about their beliefs. But, are they, or aren't they the ones who crucified Jesus? Or was Jesus himself, a Jew, I know they called him king of the Jews, but I don't know if that was sarcasm. I never could get a clear cut answer on that one, it changes with each person you ask.
Finally, there is the church of Jesus Christ the Latter Day Saints, better known as the Mormons. I do know a bit about them. I fully believe that they got a bad rap through the years, from these branch off sects that call themselves Mormons! You cannot, in good faith partake of the sacrament, if you drink coffee, smoke or drink alcohol. They believe that your body, your gift from God, is your temple, which you should take care of. Many of the members can their own food, and have a certain period of times, food stocked just in case. That really does seem like a logical, good thing to do I guess. A question I asked was, if a person is not an ax murderer, though certainly not a saint, then the person isn't worthy of going to the same place as the saint, but isn't vile enough to go where the murderer is going, where does that soul go when it leaves this world! That's when I found out that the Mormons believe that there are different kingdoms of heaven. Being totally unbiased, I will say this though for the Mormons,they help each other, and those outside of the faith, like no one I've ever seen. When there have been disasters, like hurricane Katrina, they donated more than you could believe, the difference with them, and most of the other donating sources though, was that they did not publicize it anywhere, they feel that if you are helping others out, it should be because it's the right thing to do. If you do it for bragging rights, then it was done to help yourself, it takes away from what you've done!
I'll continue learning about the different religions, since I would love to find the right one for me, but I don't believe that only one particular religion or church will be saved. I truly believe that your so called religious beliefs come from within yourself, that if you're a good person, through and through, then you will be rewarded after you leave this life. Who knows, maybe we are all reincarnated and the evil ones will come back as snakes or something! Who knows, all I know is that I do, wholeheartedly believe in God, I know he is real, he exists. You notice how whenever someone is in a serious, life threatening situation, even if they don't necessarily believe in God, they pray for his help! Then, when God intervenes, they stop the praying and it's back to business as usual, yet when they get into trouble again, they remember God. It's like a friend that you only call when you need their help with something, but you never call them just to thank them for all that they have done for you! It's certainly something to think about!
Hunters And Poachers
Why are there poachers? What makes someone want to kill an innocent animal? Money, or does it make some moron feel macho, like a real man, to kill an animal that cannot even defend itself against human weapons? I don't believe that the African people have the slightest idea of how lucky they are, to have animals there that most of us will only ever see in pictures. The elephants who are in dire need of water, seek out watering holes where they can, then they are speared by the Africans there who take their cattle to the same watering hole! Not only do they begrudge the elephants the water, but to spear them so that they die a slow agonizing death, which also leaves their calves to die!
I watched some real estate show a few days ago, this man wanted a second place in Alaska for him and his son. He wanted somewhere where there were a lot of clusters of bears, so that he and the son could shoot them! He attempted to justify their thrill of killing bears, by stating that they often donate the meat, and went so far as to inspect some droppings by a lake to be sure that it was from a bear! Sadly, his pre teen kid was a clone of himself, all about shooting and killing anything that moved. No one ever seems to give thought to what happens when there are no more animals left because they have hunted them to extinction!
Mankind just loves to slaughter, to wipe out any and every species that there are, seals, whales, sharks, wolves, rhinoceros, elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, pumas, wild boars, gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, polar bears, grizzly bears, black bears, elk, alligators, crocodiles, hell, they even hunt and kill snakes for their skins! It seems that people like that, wont be happy, wont stop the killing, until there is nothing left to kill anymore, and then, who knows, perhaps their taste for blood will extend to humans!
I've never been able to understand it, it's not even like it's a challenge to kill an innocent animal, after all, the animal can't defend itself, it's unarmed, it doesn't stand a chance, so how can these guys brag about killing them? I don't know which is worse, the braggarts or the good for nothings that poach animals for the money they can get! What should be done in each country that has a problem with poachers, is to have a task force set up, when poachers go after an animal, the task force should shoot them on sight, plain and simple. I guarantee that it would cut down on the poaching then! I am all for the right to bear arms, however, these people who stockpile guns just to go out continually hunting and killing animals, take their guns and their right to have one! We need strict limits on how many animals people are allowed to hunt, but the laws need to be enforced!
Elephants are in one of the sorriest states, they are so intelligent and compassionate, they mourn their dead like no other animal out there, and are very like us. They are suffering terribly with food shortages, drought, and of course with human hatred. They have no one to give them a voice, to stick up for them, protect them, protect their young, to insure that they have a future. It's not the problem of another country, it's a problem for all of us, because if we don't do something soon, it'll be too late for all species.

>Im constantly arrested by the manifest presence of the blessed, tried true stood and was tested,
He told me I was free, I could do it if I believe, Told the boogey man He cant squeeze me
Instead I roll forward, not looking back in constant horror, Not condemned as a pillar of salt,
or smushed together like a mound of asphalt, never do I halt, My heart is like a catupult, shooting me like a bronze dagger, I stroll intently with a wicked swagger,
My truths grounded in the everlasting, My Body No longer a form but a molten casting,
Shaped and molded in the intense fire, His will becomes my desire,
Now knowing I am steadied by this intense glowing, Consumed to the point of blowing,
In constant state of knowing, I am a beacon now set apart, With a force pulled deep, seeking and searching my heart, from this truth, only wickedness departs, I am no king Im only the messenger, Bestowed with wings, Carried on a rocket that zings, never to be layed to eternal rest, But if only to have been able to withstand the test!
staring into the eyes of destruction was the failing way,
Instead never an alien abducted from this path do I stray,
>Free! -style
>Im constantly arrested by the manifest presence of the blessed, tried true stood and was tested,
