In this week's Sift:
For once the Democrats stood up to the administration's bullying.
Obama's Pastor Said What?
The flap over Rev. Jeremiah Wright's old sermons, and how it relates to the Obama's-a-Muslim smear.
The Spitzer Case
The mainstream media can cover a story 24/7 and still not ask the right question: Does this have something to do with firing all those U.S. attorneys?
Short Notes
Fallon's resignation, the final word on Saddam and al Qaida, the financial meltdown ... it was an eventful week. And let's not forget leprechaun movies.
Someday I hope to hear the inside story of how it happened, but I know this much: Friday the Democrats in the House stuck together well enough to overcome unanimous Republican opposition and pass a FISA revision that leaves out telecom immunity and includes a bipartisan commission to study the secret wiretapping programs. Nobody knows whether the Senate will agree, or whether President Bush will really go through with a veto that makes a mockery of so much of his previous rhetoric. (He'd be proving the point Ted Kennedy made in December: "If we take the president at his word, he's willing to let Americans die to protect the phone companies.") But for today at least, there is joy in Mudville. Pelosi et al didn't strike out this time. We won one.
Why is that significant? This bill represents the first time the House has stood up to the President's bullying. And I think they will start wondering why they didn't stand up a long time ago. For years, the administration has used the same tactic: Do exactly what we say or the terrorists will kill your children. If that doesn't work any more, all kinds of things might change. I'm hoping Democratic senators will envy the strong sound bites coming out of the House and will wish that they too could stop being wimps.
The House Democrats' spines may have been stiffened by several recent revelations of the administration's abuse of its spying powers: Five years ago Congress thought it killed the Total Information Awareness program, which had the government sweeping up vast quantities of information about ordinary Americans and data-mining it to look for suspicious patterns. Well, apparently the administration just did it anyway in secret. And we got a second report of a telecom company security breach going straight to the government: two whistle-blowers at two different telecom companies are telling similar stories. And apparently the FBI has been abusing its Patriot-Act powers. And President Bush's new executive order completely eviscerates the only internal watchdog in the executive branch. It all fed into one basic point: Maybe Congress should figure out what people did before giving them immunity for it. There's this new theory called "checks and balances" that we might try out for a while.
A NYT editorial has the right framing: "The president will continue to claim the country is in grave danger over this issue, but it is not. The real danger is for Mr. Bush. A good law — like the House bill — would allow Americans to finally see the breathtaking extent of his lawless behavior."
First, what is the issue? The essence of the attack is in a Wall Street Journal editorial from Friday: Speaking at Howard University in January, 2006, Rev. Jeremiah Wright made comments that the Journal characterized as "venomous and paranoid denunciations of this country." Those comments range from uncomfortable truths like "We bombed Cambodia, Iraq and Nicaragua, killing women and children" to conspiracy-theory stuff like "We started the AIDS virus." The story got going the previous day, when ABC News found another sermon -- this one from 2003, but at least it happened at Obama's church rather than hundreds of miles away -- in which Wright said "God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme." Whether that counts as an uncomfortable truth or a paranoid denunciation, I suppose, is in the eye of the beholder. I'll just say this: When conservative preachers denounce America for, say, permitting abortion or tolerating homosexuality -- it's not a big deal, is it?
Wright is the recently retired minister of Trinity United Church of Christ, where Obama is a member. Wright was also on the Obama campaign's African American Religious Leadership Committee. The title of Obama's book The Audacity of Hope comes from a Wright sermon. Obama responded to the controversy here, and Wright has resigned from his campaign.
That's the story. Now let's back up and ask the question: Why are we talking about this? Paraphrasing the Thomas Jefferson quote I gave a few weeks back, what Obama's pastor said two or five years ago "neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." Why is it an issue now?
Over the past few weeks I've been talking about media narratives and how negative campaigns work. This is a good example of a general principle: A media narrative can justify an attack that otherwise would be out of bounds. In Obama's case, the narrative is that he's "unexamined". That permits an attacker to put him under an unprecedented level of scrutiny -- for balance, don't you see.
And this scrutiny really is unprecedented. Think about it: Do you even know John McCain's denomination? (I looked it up: Episcopalian.) I recall that the Clintons are Southern Baptists, but what's the name of their minister? Do you think ABC News knows what he or she was preaching in 2003? Mitt Romney faced questions about the doctrines of his religion (which he dodged, by the way, saying "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the savior of mankind" and nothing at all about his church's more controversial teachings or the Mormon history of polygamy and racism). But no one tried to make Romney responsible for his minister's political views.
The counter-argument, of course, is that Obama made Wright an issue by talking about him and about Trinity Church. But why did he have to do that? To counter the whispering campaign that he's a crypto-Muslim. The Wright flap, when you see it in context, is Round 2 of the Obama's-a-Muslim attack.
The secret-religion smear is not a new tactic. In Britain it goes back at least to Charles II, who was supposed to be a crypto-Catholic. A generation or two ago in this country, you might have heard rumors that Nelson Rockefeller or Franklin Roosevelt was secretly a Jew -- and not just in the worships-on-Saturday or wears-a-yarmulka sense, or even in the stereotypic cheap-money-grubber sense, but in the full racist Elders-of-Zion-conspirator sense. That's what Obama's up against -- a whispering campaign that he's running as some kind of Manchurian Candidate for al Qaida. Occasionally a piece of that campaign surfaces, as it did a week ago when a Republican congressman said al Qaida "would be dancing in the streets" if Obama were elected.
A secret-religion smear is hard to counter, partly because you risk offending the group that you're being associated with. (Picture a Roosevelt saying, "No, damn it, I'm not a Jew!") All you can do, really, is call attention to your genuine religion, your genuine church, and your genuine minister. And that makes you vulnerable to the next attack. (Cartoon parody here.)
Rikyrah on Open Left provides a black perspective on the Wright controversy: "The members of Trinity are not unlike the professional African-Americans in your office. The same middle-class, upper middle-class folks that you work with......do you really believe that THOSE folks leave the office and turn into the second coming of Angela Davis and Huey P. Newton on Sunday morning?"
How does a high-class prostitution scheme work? What does Spitzer's prostitute look like, and what's her life story? What drives a man like Spitzer to take such risks? (Lust? Just a guess.) What do you get from a $5,000 hooker that you can't get from a $100 hooker? (My favorite response was from WaPo columnist Harold Myerson: "I've given serious thought to this over the past day, and I'm not sure that I've even had a sexual fantasy that, if actualized, would be worth $5,500 an hour." If only more pundits would give serious thought to the issues of the day. Well done, Harold.) Why are wives to blame when their husbands go to prostitutes? (Seriously, I saw Dr. Laura do this riff on Hannity and Colmes Wednesday night. Men from coast to coast are filing that tactic for future use: "It's all your fault, Honey. Aren't you ashamed?") And so on. See the 23/6 parody. Or better yet, what Stephen Colbert had to say.
Most of the blogs I read are interested in another set of questions entirely. First, nobody's claiming Spitzer is innocent, but how did this investigation happen, exactly? We know it was federal, so we have a Republican Justice Department nailing a Democratic state governor. Was politics a factor? Philip Carter at Intel Dump, a lawyer whose opinion I respect on many issues, thinks not. I hope he's right. It's a shame we have to ask questions like this, but the whole point of the U. S. attorney scandal was to make the Department of Justice more of a political weapon and less of a ... Department of Justice. As Kagro X on Daily Kos wrote (pre-Spitzer, in reference to the case of Alabama Governor Don Siegelman): "Nobody indicted by the Bush-Cheney DOJ can possibly help but wonder whether they're being targeted by the White House political machine."
TPM has put together a chronology of events. In a separate post, TPM's David Kurtz looks at the timing: The federal wiretaps start in January, and accumulate "more than enough to bust all four employees and numerous johns." But they wait until they have something on Spitzer, then close the investigation. Usually the target of a prostitution investigation is business itself, not the customers. Was it different here? And how did Spitzer's name leak to the media so fast? Scott Horton at Harper's says: "All of these facts are consistent with a process which is not the investigation of a crime, but rather an attempt to target and build a case against an individual."
Even if there was no political abuse, JB on Balkinization reflects on the larger trends at work: "Whether you like or fear the National Surveillance state, it is not a utopia or dystopia of the future; it is already here. It is the way we will govern and be governed in the years ahead. Spitzer's crime is his own; the techniques of surveillance, collation and analysis that caught him are ours and they will be applied to all of us." See the paragraph on Total Information Awareness in the FISA article above.
Next question: What ever happened to David Vitter, the Republican senator involved in the D. C. Madam case? Oh, that's right, he's still in the Senate, eight months after his scandal broke in July. Same crime, completely different result. If Spitzer hadn't resigned, Republicans were ready to start impeachment proceedings within 48 hours. But Louisiana's Democratic governor would appoint a successor if Vitter resigned, so Republicans are fine with him serving out his term. In fact, Vitter's Republican colleagues gave him a standing ovation after he apologized to them in a private session. After Larry Craig (who also remains in the Senate) and Mark Foley, Republicans were probably just happy Vitter wasn't gay.
A few blogs segued into another obvious question: Why exactly is prostitution illegal? My favorite answer to this question came from a guy I knew whose light-induced migraines kept him housebound. The government turned down his disability application, explaining that he could still work as a telemarketer. At that very instant, he says, he changed his mind about legalizing prostitution.
Admiral William Fallon resigned not long after a flattering piece on him in Esquire highlighted his differences with the administration. He was commander of CENTCOM, which oversees both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Early speculation saw his resignation as a step towards an attack on Iran, which Fallon opposed. But later speculation focused on Fallon's hope to draw down forces in Iraq below what they were before the Surge.
The Defense Department has completed its study of 600,000 captured documents from the Saddam Hussein regime, and it has found "no direct operational link" between Hussein and al Qaida. Apparently out of sheer petulance, the Pentagon will not post the report on its web site. But it's not classified, and reporters who ask for it can get copies. So you can find the report on the ABC News web site.
A gay-bashing Oklahoma state legislator got caught on tape: "I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat." I wonder if she's heard that Obama is a Muslim. But at least he's not gay, as far as I know.
Wes Clark on torture: "Today, in the struggle to finish off the extremists plotting against us, it won't be torture and fear that win the day for America. Far from it. Nations that torture end up despised and defeated. No, to win we'll have to live up to the values we profess, the belief in human rights, equal justice, fair trials, and the rule of law. These ideals are potent weapons. They will give us allies, friends, information, and security—but only if we live them." Meanwhile, William Safire provides a surprisingly frank report on the history of the term waterboarding.
I thought I was going to have to write my own primer on the financial meltdown that claimed the Bear-Stearns investment bank as a casualty today. But Jared Bernstein did it for me. It's gotten to the point where even a solid Wall Street guy like Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson wishes for more regulation. Maybe the best explanation of the financial chaos is still the Bird and Fortune comedy routine I mentioned in December: "... and then it's extraordinary what happens. Somehow this package of dodgy debts stops being a package of dodgy debts and becomes a structured investment vehicle." What could possibly go wrong with that?
The administration has won its battle to keep undeserving children from getting healthcare. After failing to override two vetoes, Democrats in Congress are giving up their attempt to expand the SCHIP program -- at least until reinforcements arrive in 2009.
This Sift needs some comic video to close on. So:
- The Daily Show looks at Code Pink's efforts to get a Marine recruiting station out of Berkeley.
- The Onion's fake-news network ONN doesn't seem to realize that it's dealing with a serial killer in "Anonymous Philanthropist Donates 200 Human Kidneys to Hospital."
- Jon Lajoie does a rap song for an "Everyday Normal Guy" -- lots of rapper attitude, but not much to back it up: "If you want to mess with me, I think you probably can. Because I'm not confident, and I'm weak for a man."
- Finally, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, SlateV's series "The Worst Cinematic Crap That's Ever Been Made" reviews bad leprechaun movies. Enjoy.

Michigan Illinois open thread
Go Blue!
Go Blue!
Anyone else getting ready to crack open a cold one? I've got mine chilling at the moment; I hate the law in Indiana about grocery stores not legally being able to sell cold beer. It really sucks.
Oh and, of course, fuck Illinois. Being from there, I know way too many people from high school that would love rubbing it in if they pulled one off tonight. Let's not give them that option.
Just got a new job and my pre-employment drug screen is tomorrow :( I know it'll most likely pass through my system by then but why chance it. I'm sure you'll drink one for me though :)
Your drug screen tests for alcohol? Are you sure about that?
Employers care if you have some alcohol in your blood now? My God that is awful.
I'm lucky enough to have one of those employers who gives you beer at work every couple of weeks for morale boosting purposes. A little alcohol never hurt anyone.
Oh, I just read the super long form thouroughly...no they are only testing for THC, COC, PCP, OPI, and AMP (I assume thats marijane, cocaine, pcp, opiates and amphetamines)...and its only a urine same and no breathe alcohol test...guess I was just being overcautios.
TYPICALLY, prospective employers only care if you are doing something illegal. Now I know some that test for nicotine and won't hire smokers for health cost reasons, but I'd never heard of one testing for alcohol before. Now you can enjoy the game!
Last time I went through a drug test (MEPS, so full on military drug testing) they did a separate breathalyzer. I don't know if you can even test for alcohol through urine, since it's already filtered through your kidneys. Maybe that's wrong though, there's a reason I'm not a biologist.
after it took place. I'm not sure what or how, but they use it to test people on probation, court ordered rehab, etc.
And away from the mgoMrs. and kids so hell yeah I'm cracking them open. Bought 2 40's on the way back to the hotel and am ready to go. No Edward 40 hands though, my 32 year old bladder can't hold it like it did a decade ago.......plus I'm by myself so that would just be wierd.......
It's pretty simple:
- Start off naked
- Finish one bottle. If you have to pee just pee in the open bottle
- Don't forget which bottle has the pee in it
Sitting nude by myself in a hotel room playing Edward 40 hand sounds like the beginning of a future episode of Intervention.......I think I'll pass
megangoblue is gone for the entire week, as of this afternoon. Left home alone, it's Fat Tire and frozen California Pizza Kitchen tonight, along with some M basketball of course.
Don't settle for jump shots, take it to the basket. Hopefully we get a big early lead, and Illinois will give up. Don't want them hanging around and gaining hope.
I agree, I would LOVE to see Hardaway START the game by driving to the hole hard and early. He does it so well and it can give him the confidence to shoot outside once his defender lets up a bit.
We haven't won in that dungeon of an arena since 1995 - our longest road losing streak. Time to end it.
I remember recently thinking we were going to win, but then that gumpy 7'1'' guy got extremely hot from behind the arc. I'm drawing a blank on his name. Really made me mad.
I remember the guy but I can't remember his name either, thought it was Leonard but it isn't.
Illinois always has a big white guy that shoots jumpers. It's in their program's DNA. Some years the guy has a moustache.
I guess Jalen is calling the game on ESPN. Should be interesting.
Is he going to be a homer, professional/neutral, or will he be extra critical of us so he doesn't seem like a homer?
I get the feeling that he might be extra critical so he doesn't seem like a homer. He might want to build up some credibility with the "national" audience before he starts calling games like a homer.
I have no idea how Jay Bilas started his broadcast career, but he has let personal decisions affect how he calls games.
Its been a while since we won here. All streaks come to an end sooner or later and im thinking tonight is the night. GO BLUE!!
Firstrow links to sports center. Anyone got a better link?
SportsCenter literally just ended, I'd take a look at that link again.
You're from Illinois, JGB. Give us three good reasons why you hate the Illini.
but I can't name names on MGoBlog. Seriously, I think my ex who's a future Ohio alum put it just right for Illinois; she went to visit friends in Chambana over fall break her freshman year at Ohio, and was telling me how shocked she was at the Muck Fichigan shirts. She's like, "I know I'm not perfect with my Michigan history, but you guys don't care, do you?"
If that's still selling T-shirts the forces of postmodernism need to step up their game in Champaign and bring reality to the student body. I think that's cute, personally.
It was Michigan week 2009*, if that makes you think any better of their tastes (it shouldn't).
*so it was actually her sophomore year, my bad.
And the perfect time to end the losing streak (didn't know it dated back so far back, wow), makes for a nice night for Michigan victory. Wonder who Jalen's with...About to find out I suppose, tip of time ladies and gentleman! Go Blue.
on the line nuff' said right? Go Bue and keep you 13 game winning streak going back to last season following a loss.
That's the first "frustration foul" to ever happen 48 seconds into a game.
you never had control of that break, and Illinois was back. Slow it down.

Alcohol is still the drug that causes most concern to Western Australian health professionals, prompting a new government website showing the financial and health benefits of reducing consumption.
In 2013, there were 545 alcohol-related deaths in the state, and it's estimated that one person was hospitalised every 27 minutes for an alcohol-attributable condition in 2014.
Mental Health Minister Andrea Mitchell said the $300,000 campaign included adverts showing the effects of alcohol and an online tool to help people calculate the financial and health benefits of reducing their alcohol intake.
"More than one in five people are drinking above the recommendation of more than two standard drinks per day," Ms Mitchell said on Thursday.
"That is of concern to us."
On average, West Australians each drink 12 litres of pure alcohol per year, equal to 129 bottles of wine.
The University of Western Australia neurology professor Graeme Hankey said women who drank more than two standard drinks a day, and men who had more than three standard drinks a day, were at twice the risk of having a stroke.
He said there were 1000 fatal strokes in WA each year, with at least five per cent attributable to alcohol, and that every drink per day appeared to increase the risk of stroke by 15 per cent.
"People do not really understand that this is a toxin, alcohol, and it's cumulative effect on the body," Dr Hankey said.
* 545 alcohol-related deaths in 2013
* One person hospitalised for an alcohol-related condition every 27 minutes in 2014
* $155m in hospital costs related to alcohol in 2014
* Residents drink an average of 12 litres of pure alcohol per year, equal to 129 bottles of wine
* 1000 fatal strokes each year, five per cent attributable to alcohol
* 12-17 year-olds who drank in the past week had an average of 6.2 standard drinks.

Born in Las Arenas in 1903, Jose Maria Yermo Solaegui (known simply as "Yermo") was a Spanish footballer who played as a striker for Arenas Club de Getxo during the 1920s and 1930s. He also captained the Spanish national team and in 1928, became the first player to score a hat-trick for Spain. However, his sporting achievements were not limited to the football pitch.
As well as being a talented footballer, Yermo was a member of the Spanish national cycling team and competed at the Olympic Games in athletics, cycling and football. He was the Spanish record holder for long jump and triple jump, and also competed in high jump, rowing, hammer-throwing, hockey and motorcycling.
His sporting exploits are a prime example of the proud Basque tradition for showcasing acts of physical strength and endurance. A practice that caused many footballers from the region to compete in other sports; such as the the four Arenas Club players, led by another club legend, Pedro Vallana, who went on to become the Spanish 4 x 250m relay champions in 1923.
Arenas de Getxo Football Club were founded in 1909 and soon became one of the biggest names in Spanish football – winning many regional tournaments and dominating the sport in the Basque Country. In 1914, they met Barcelona in a series of friendly games and won them all. In the following years, they went on to become champions of Northern Spain and the Basque Country, and they competed in three Spanish cup finals.
It was the Director of Arenas Club de Getxo, Jose Maria Acha, who first proposed the idea of a national league at a meeting in 1927 – an idea that became reality in 1929 when La Liga was formed. Arenas Club competed at the top level for the first 7 seasons of La Liga and many of their players went on to represent Spain at national level. They were eventually relegated in 1935 and have never returned to the top flight.
The first time Yermo competed in the colours of Arenas Club was as a teenage athlete. He was known for his jumping abilty and in 1923, became the Spanish long jump record holder with a jump of 6.23m. A year later, he became the first Spaniard to break the 13m barrier in the triple jump, recording a distance of 13.48m. As a result, he was selected to represent Spain at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris but he was unable to compete due to injury.
Between 1923 and 1925, Yermo won multiple medals at the Spanish national athletic championships, including three silver and two bronze medals in his favoured long and triple jump events. In 1926, he became a cycling champion, winning the Basque speed championship and was also a runner-up in the Spanish championship. This earned him a place in the Spanish team for the World Championships but they were unable to secure a medal.
By 1928, Yermo was an established striker for Arenas Football Club and was chosen to captain Spain at the summer Olympic Games in Amseterdam. It was there that he became the first Spanish player to score a hat-trick in a 7-1 demolition of Mexico. Unfortunately, they were then beaten by the same score-line in the Quarter-final match against Italy, with Yermo scoring the only goal for Spain. Incredibly, at the same tournament, he also became the first Spaniard to represent his nation at Olympic cycling, finishing a commendable 12th in the 1km time trials.
Yermo began his football career in the youth ranks at Arenas Club and spent his entire career playing for the Basque Country side before finally retiring in 1935. As well as many appearances at regional level, he also made 51 appearances in La Liga, scoring a total of 30 goals – a contribution that secured his place in the club's book of legends.
In the summer of 1932, Yermo made the news again after becoming the first person to row the course of the river Ebro from Aragon to the Mediterranean. He completed the course despite being capsized and battered against rocks in Sastago.
After leaving football, he retained a strong interest in rowing and cycling and, inspired by the Tour de France, became a key player in the inauguration of the now famous Vuelta a España (Tour of Spain) cycling race. He lived to see the race grow into a prestigious global event before passing away in 1960 aged just 57.

Bach flowers mix 62 helps you to change your drinking habits
Fears and hallucinations
When people change their drinking habits, they often start having visual hallucinations, seeing things that aren't there. These can be very frightening. Sometimes this can lead to panic attacks. Bach flower essences can reduce these fears and make sure these hallucinations don't cause panic attacks.
One of the withdrawal effects of alcohol rehabilitation is feeling restless. It's hard to keep still and you are agitated. Then the need to go back to drinking is raised again. Bach flower essences will bring peace and tranquillity so it reduces the need for alcohol.
Problems with concentration
Concentration problems are common when somebody changes their drinking habits. People are nervous, easily distracted, uneasy and afraid. This makes it hard to concentrate and stay focused on the job at hand. As Bach flowers mix 62 takes this unease and these fears away, this will automatically improve the ability to concentrate.
When a person changes his or her drinking habits, he/she often becomes very irritable, because before, alcohol was playing a primary role and now this is no longer so. The person will be very intolerable and very touchy. Their mood will be very down and unhappy. Bach flower essences will bring more tolerance and acceptance. This will make him/her feel better and make him/her less touchy.
Change of lifestyle
When the alcohol drops away, it is as if a person's life falls apart. His/her whole life was wrapped around it. Day to day contacts were all linked to drinking. Now most of them fall away and the person has to adjust to a new way of living. This change of habits and lifestyle will happen much smoother with the support of Bach flower essences.
When somebody changes his drinking habits, there will often be moments when the person doesn't feel he/she can go through with it. He/she will go through very difficult states of mind like dejection and melancholy. Here he/she will benefit from the use of Bach flower mix 62. They will make life more easier and let the sun shine through the dark clouds.

3598 W US Highway 90, Lake City, FL 32055-4870
I stayed here November 20, 2017. Mary, the attendant, was inattentive, out of touch and seemed to be on a personal call as I arrived. She was so bad, I wouldn't hire her to do even the most menial task, lest she be challenged beyond her scope.
They sent me to an occupied room. My key card worked. Bags were on the bed. The occupant was in the shower. I'm lucky he or she didn't see me and come out with a gun. Mary then sent me next to a similar room.
- Dead bugs and dirt on bathroom floor.
- Scum on bathtub floor.
- Toilet seat broken.
- Shower curtain shade rusted.
- The room smelled of mildew, smoke and cheap air freshener (I requested non-smoking).
- The microwave was surrounded by crud and scum.
- The beds, though made, didn't feel dry, as if they were in a sauna before hanging.
- Dirt and stains were on the dresser.
- The internet didn't work (I called and it was switched on 15:00 later)
- The phone didn't work (I called from my phone and it never was fixed)
- Smokers surrounded the room. I was gagging on the way in.
- Neha Desai, the front desk manager, gave me a weak, canned apology and $30 discount as I left.
- Their (Baymont HQ) Twitter account manager basically said because it is independently owned, they won't get involved. Essentially, "call the hotel directly." They did this in a DM, unseen by customers.
As we left at 7:00 am, we got out ASAP. We skipped breakfast and dared not risk disease taking a shower.
I will avoid Baymont completely in the future lest my health be jeopardized.

Truth or Lies? Showing our True Colors
By Dr. Don Pahl, originally preached on May 17, 2015.
Slide Show:
Main sermon text: 1 John 2:18-27
Truth or Lies? Showing our True Colors
Followers of Jesus develop a "last hour" mentality:
A. Discern truth from error.
1. False: separation from Christian community.
2. False: denial of Jesus as Christ.
3. False: denial of Father and Son.
B. Remain steadfast, by means of …
1. The Holy Spirit …
2. God's Word …
3. Abiding in Christ …
4. Assurance …
Remain in Him…
and Stand Firm!
Next Week:
Living and Loving … Just Like Daddy!

Friday Footage v.3
This was before he started napping in the crib, so it was a new fun thing to be in it. It is also why the mobile was still up, it is currently in the garage.
This week has been exhausting. Finalizing thesis edits, class work, sick baby, sick husband, puking cat, ugh. I turned in an awful paper earlier this week because it was all that was going to happen with the time I was given. Leland kept waking up and having issues staying asleep this week (at nap and bed time) that I had very minimal time to work on stuff. Awesome, yea...
We are going to go to the doctor's today, not because I am worried about him right now. I just want to avoid him possibly becoming worse over the weekend and having to make a trip to the ER since the office is closed. Because it could easily be something else besides a nasty cold. He had a fever the past three nights, so out of precaution we are off to the office. Woohoo, yea...
But at least my thesis is in its final drafts, I am waiting to hear back from my adviser to see his thoughts. Very nerve racking.
2 comments:
Bless your heart Megan. Thinking about you and your thesis and your sick house; talk about bad timing for school. Hopefully they all get better soon and you can wrap things up with a happy and healthy baby (and husband) around. Best of luck!ReplyDelete
It seems like babies go with the murphy's law thing? You know babies will run fever and they will run fever at the worst possibl moment. Hang in there! I hope it gets better soon!ReplyDelete

Active Duty Quentin Gainz, Rix
Rix is back in action with us once again. His firm attitude and lust for that tight ass is making him climb the ranks at a steady pace. This is only his second time being with one of our vets and this time he's tackling Quentin Gainz. Quentin loves to try out the rookies who are just learning the ways of battling through the ranks here at AD. He's more of our special ops vet when we need him to test the willingness of these new recruits. Quentin brings the fun while Rix brings the pain and toughness. Quentin's cock is usually the first to be hard and throbbing but Rix has beaten him to the punch. Rix drops his drawers and his cock is hard as a rock standing straight up and Quentin is amazed by it. Rix is ready to rock out so he wraps his mouth around Quentin's throbbing dick. After some BJ swapping Quentin is ready to get pounded by Rix and Rix is really eager to put his big dick in one of our top veteran's tight ass. He starts out slow and begins to pick up pace as he fucks him deep and hard. He pulls out and they both stroke their big dicks until their balls have been completely emptied and the only thing remains are loads of cum all over Quentin's sexy firm chest. Enjoy!
Menover 30 – Fernando
Fernando is organizing the wardrobe and prop area of the studio he works at when Rego comes in and tells him that it looks great and they are all set for their clients the next day. He then starts making moves on Fernando, who is hesitant at first. Soon they are embraced in a passionate kiss and groping each other. Fernando drops to his knees and begins to suck Rego's hard throbbing dick and he gives him a deep wet blowjob. Rego turns Fernando around and starts rimming his beautiful hairy ass deep with his tongue. He then turns him around and sucks his cock for a bit before going back to his ass. After rimming he drives his thick cock deep into Fernando's eager hole and fucks him long and deep. He then bends him over the chair and continues to fuck him as Fernando moans in delight. Rego then sits on the chair and Fernando rides his cock balls deep up his ass until he shoots his load all over. Rego then has Fernando get on his knees and right when he does he blows a gigantic load covering Fernando's hairy chest and splattering some on his eager face. Enjoy!
Active Duty – Quentin Gainz, Craig Cameron Video
This time we have 2 of our favorite veterans hooking up for the first time. And when I say 'for the first time,' I really mean it in Craig Cameron's case! Yes, this is a little bit of a rewind to Craig's VERY first time hooking up with another dude!
Noah Jones explores Jacob Peterson's cock and hole
Noah Jones explores Jacob Peterson's cock and hole. For a couple hundred, anyone can enjoy a good fucking time fueled by that slut cash. Noah pumps Jacob full of his raging hard-on, working that ass to orgasm.
Active Duty – Party Boy Demon
We have a brand new, gorgeous young man with us today named Damon. He comes off very sophisticated and well-spoken, two things that make squad leaders around here. It's interesting that he describes himself as a party boy to Claude.
Undercover Stripper Part 1 Manuel Skye | Skyy Knox – STG – Str8 to Gay
Manuel Skye is going undercover as a stripper to investigate criminal activities—but before going out on the job he needs to receive training from Skyy Knox. The guys go from stretching hamstrings to holes after Skyy puts on his hottest striptease, working Manuel into a horny frenzy. His thick cock fits snugly in Skyy's deliciously tight hole, and he pounds away until both men erupt.

Calvin confesses to Brandon that he is into him more than his sister! He grabs him and intensely kisses him Brandon doesn't resist for a second. They fuck and lick each other's asses.

New Video – anonymous Jerkoff with celeb Barman Brad
Stock bar hired a celebrity barman for one night, none other than sexy bodybuilder Brad! His specialty, the sperm shot. Brad puts a lot of himself into every drinks he makes, especially this one. In addition, like every good bartender, he makes sure to entertain the crowd while working…
New Video – Maskurbate Shower Jerkoff with Dominic
Last time he did a video for us, newcomer Dominic created a bit of a splash. Sometimes Dominic likes to treat himself to a relaxing day at the spa. Although he's there to unwind, he often get asked to do naughty things like jerk off in the shower. So this scene is business as usual for one of our latest muscled masked studs.
Maskurbate Shower Jerkoff with Dominic
Men over 30 – Hugh demands Matt to get on his knees and suck his throbbing dick
In our second series of 'Couples Fantasy' Hugh fantasizes about fucking Matt in a gritty warehouse type area. He's talking to his lover Dolf about it and we transition into what actually happens. Hugh and Matt have a stare down while stroking their cocks until Hugh demands Matt to get on his knees and suck his throbbing dick. Hugh is very vocal as well as demanding as he dominates Matt's mouth and ass in more ways than one. Matt takes it hard and deep by Hugh as he gets fucked on his back and from behind. Hugh even power drives deep into Matt as he mounts up. Both of these hunky men spit, suck, lick and taste their way to an explosive cumming full of manly groans and sexual relief.

Every shareholder has basic rights bestowed on them by the Companies Act 2006. But minority shareholders have limited control over the management of the company or how it distributes its profits. This does not mean, though, that they are completely powerless. A minority shareholder can take various actions to protect their interests, including through the courts. A major way to enhance the rights of minority shareholders is via the articles or shareholder agreements. To offer the most protection this should be done before the shares are acquired.
Enhancing Basic Shareholder Rights
The Companies Act 2006 details the basic rights of a shareholder, which are dependent on the percentage size of the shareholding, ranging between 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 90%. Minority shareholders' rights can be offered increased protection by adapting the standard articles or shareholders' agreement, which have limited minority shareholder rights.

Contains cocoa butter, aloe vera and vitamin E.
Vitamin E - helps reduce the amount of dry cells that could become cancerous over time and prolonged exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays. This Vitamin in this form acts as a great moisturiser.
You can use cocoa butter in your tub to shave and hydrate skin at the same time. It melts easily in warm water and won't clog your drain. Use a small handful before shaving to prevent nicks and to leave just-shaven skin feeling nice and smooth.
Aloe vera contains proteolytic enzymes which repairs dead skin cells. #forsale

Jarret, 14 Aug 2014Apple's ugliest ever iPhone6... Back to school Applethats true, its sickening long for its display and anorectic thin, gives the impression that it has some kind of repulsive disease, quite disgusting. Hope they rectify the worst with 6s but for this time iPhone is out of the question for me.
Anonymous, 13 Aug 2014Imminent about to die hahahaIPhone is always a hit and will be.
For those people who say iphone sales improved every years, it's due to iphone durability is bad.
people need to change every 6month or within a years sometime,with the software upgrade, it's also control inner part running slower and force you to change and buy a new iphone =D
Jarret, 14 Aug 2014Apple's ugliest ever iPhone6... Back to school AppleIt's also their best iPhone6, and their worst iPhone6.
Peach the world with a really new-design-specs iPhone 6 on September 9, 2014. Apple Ever!
ljames, 13 Aug 2014Lol fanatics are funny. There really isn't a need to compete unless you're apple or samsung or... moreyou comments are not relevant, why are you on this site?
Even though I prefer a smaller phone, I have a feeling the IPhone 6 will smash the competition. IOS on a larger mobile phone screen size! This thing is also very thin and light compared to the other flagships.. back to the drawing board for Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG...
Where is the notification light?
They promised the rear logo would be it but the pics say otherwise.
Apple= fail
I love how people say apple market share is going down but they leave out that they are the ones making the big profit and behind is samsung.The other manufacturers are dying slowly but they can make a recovery.

AnonD-294180, 13 Aug 2014No offense droopy but if you think Apple is history after Steve Jobs' death, you're absolutely... morethese apple haters claim iphone was dead after the 2nd iphone. Claims that (apple is going down) ironically, the latest iphones has sold more then the previous version every time. unlike Samsung, S4 dropped compared to the S3, and there is no doubt the s5 will not outsell the s4.
AnonD-58835, 13 Aug 2014Who cares about apple now? you have Xioami MI4 which is much better and 3 times LESS price. Al... moreNo offense droopy but if you think Apple is history after Steve Jobs' death, you're absolutely wrong. Sure, it has run into some hurdles but it has picked up to be the best company in terms of perfected technology and customer satisfaction right now. And there's no other smartphone out there that can be even comparable to the performance of the iPhone 5s. Sadly you're comparing Alpha which has obsolete specs and Samsung custom made processor with fake benchmark results with yet to be released, the beast of all smartphones, iPhone 6! And when you're comparing a Chinese brand like Xiaomi to Apple, the first question to be asked is, how well it's customers are being treated. Specs are not everything and Android fans will never understand that until they start using an iPhone. Try to get a 64-bit processor first :P
AnonD-285813, 13 Aug 2014Hello Sammsung You'd better sharpen your blades and replenish your mana because those Apple hu... morewhat the hell are you talking about? Apple users rarely troll. It's you haters that bait them, and force them to embarrass you punks.

you do. all you do is log in to gsm arena and spew hatred about apple, despite their iphone sales going up. Sure their market share is not increasing, but their phone sales have gone up ever since the iphone 1. This trend will certainly continue with increased phone screen size.
I am sure Apple will deliver it this time too, just like the last time.

M8 looks not much better and lacks OIS. Xperia Z2 would be a decent choice, but Sony takes ages to get its phones over here, it's a bit bulkier than I would like, and despite having the best sensor of any phone, they can never get the algorithms behind the hardware right. And yes, Samsung is pure trash.

Drivers and also guests in cars and trucks as well as motorcycles are especially susceptible in crashes entailing big vehicles due to the weight distinction between both kinds of vehicles. Cars consider an average of 3,500 extra pounds, while huge business trucks (referred to as semis, eighteen wheelers, and tractor-trailers) can weigh up to 80,000 pounds with their tons. In car-truck collisions, 98 percent of the fatalities were individuals of the vehicle. Caras Law Group are Good Chicago Attorney and can help.
The size as well as weight of trucks also affects how they interact with automobiles. Large trucks take longer to stop, are prone to rollovers as well as jackknifing, need even more space making turns, and have large dead spots. In unsafe problems, the trailers could in some cases swing out into the lanes of other cars. We are truck accident lawyers that can help.
As a result of their inherent dangers to people in traveler automobiles as well as bikes, large commercial trucks are managed by government interstate trucking safety and security laws as well as by Illinois laws.
Trucking Accident Effects Victims of trucking accidents can suffer life-altering injuries such as:
– Severe Fractures & Orthopedic Injuries
– Brain damage
– Spinal cord injuries & paralysis
– Disfigurement & Burn injuries
– Loss of physical functions
Having a mishap that entails a truck could be a life-altering experience. It can be ravaging– especially if several of the participants of your lorry were killed or seriously harmed in the crash. For more info click here – car accidents in Chicago
When a tractor trailer or vehicle crashes right into your automobile, the odds are stacked heavily versus those riding in the lorry. They will likely incur some kind of physical or psychological injury as a result. At minimum, having a crash with a truck will often leave the passengers of the vehicle seriously impacted and also looking for clinical, legal and financial assistance.

If you have been involved in a trucking accident that was triggered by an additional individual's oversight or foolhardiness, the most vital thing you can do is speak with a competent injury attorney.
Truck Driver Fatigue
Truck driver fatigue and also sleepiness are conditions that lead to negligent habits such as failure to keep in the correct lane and running the road. Tired truckers are of such issue that in April of 2003, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) instituted new hours of service regulations to suppress truckers' problems with fatigue. While these laws have helped reduce the variety of accidents, the United States National Transportation Safety Board still criticizes chauffeur fatigue as a possible consider 20-40% of vehicle collisions.
Rest deprival hinders an individual's capacity to execute a selection of jobs, consisting of those pertaining to driving and running devices. Often a truck driver's tiredness is brought on by poor everyday sleep, rather than a total absence of sleep. A truck driver's extended hrs of operation could develop a scenario of constant sleep deprival by restricting a motorist's everyday rest.
When industrial motorists come to be fatigued from too much day-to-day as well as weekly job hours, they substantially increase the danger of collisions that lead to death or significant injuries. Yet in spite of this serious danger to public security, legislation is often presented to Congress that requests much longer hours of service for the trucking industry.
On January 4, 2004 the new federal chauffeurs' hours-of-service regulations became effective for Interstate drivers of business motor vehicles subject to Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) Part 395. Especially, the legislation boosted the variety of hrs truck drivers are permitted to operate in a 24 hr duration. The regulation allows Interstate truck drivers to drive 11 hours in a job period, restrict owning after 14 hrs considering that coming on-duty, and call for at least 10 consecutive hrs off-duty to re-qualify for a new job duration.
While significant initiative is being invested to better manage as well as limit the number of hours physician can work in order to protect patient health, vehicle drivers are not supplied the exact same consideration as Congress continues to increase the hours of service for the truck market.
With miles as well as miles of freeway extending before them, the longer truckers can own the better the prospective earnings for truck firms. The typical trucker drives 125,000 miles a year, and that's on the reduced end of a standard. Trucking incomes amounted to $610 billion last year as well as earnings are forecasted to almost double by 2015. It is easy to see just how earnings can encourage truckers to drive additionally for longer hours, with shorter breaks, to raise their revenue.
However, revenue is not the only factor influencing vehicle driver fatigue. A truck driver might be anxious to get home for the weekend break, or 'push through' to prevent website traffic snarls during rush hour. Vehicle companies may offer a chauffeur bonus for added stops, or the driver may be attempting to make up for time lost because of negative weather or traffic.
Due to the fact that there may be numerous aspects affecting a motorist's hours of service, The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration needs that motorists as well as providers maintain logs, expense invoices, and various other documents that track their compliance with present Hours of Service policies. However, in order for existing regulations to deter risky habits they should be correctly enforced.
Kenneth Mead, U.S. Transportation Department examiner general, testified April 5 before the Senate Commerce Committee on transportation security programs. "We have actually conducted criminal investigations of egregious instances where trucking company authorities have been prosecuted for methodically requiring their motorists to drive well in excess of the limits," Mead affirmed.
Log book as well as hours policies need reinforcing because unscrupulous providers and also drivers view infractions as "the price of doing business," he said. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration retracted a proposition that would certainly have needed on-board recorders as enforcement proof. Since then, courts have actually ordered the agency to evaluate that choice.
According to the American Trucking Association (ATA), in 2003 big trucks carried the majority of all products transferred in the U.S.– over 9 billion bunches. With an ever before increasing number of tractor trailers on our roads, driver tiredness is a public safety and security concern. We need to mandate and impose sensible hours of service (HOS) limitations for the security of all vehicle drivers.

Coming just 10 months after his over-produced sophomore album failed to build on the momentum of his debut, Chariot, and its ubiquitous hit "I Don't Want to Be," Gavin DeGraw's Free sounds like a rush job. With just nine songs—one of them a solid cover of the late Chris Whitley's "Indian Summer"—and a stripped-down aesthetic that owes as much to DeGraw having fired his band as to a deliberate artistic choice, Free is a bit thin. Although the songs may have benefited from a bit more work ("Why Do the Men Stray" strings together a series of obvious rhymes and naïve observations about gender differences, while "Dancing Shoes" sounds like Marc Cohn's "Walking in Memphis" without a compelling narrative or hook), but there are moments when the less fussy production suits DeGraw well. He has a more textured, expressive voice than some of his contemporaries, and he delivers "Lover Be Strong" and lead single "Stay" with real conviction. What works about Free and what elevates it above his first two albums is that the scope of the low-key, loose production is well matched to DeGraw's workmanlike songwriting and his unpretentious vocal performances. The album may not have any standout hooks to give him another inescapable radio hit, but it does suggest that DeGraw has finally found a style that suits him well.

I believe it's sad when we hear of people who spend all their lives in their own little world.
They've never been pro-active, unconsciously don't change anything, then something happens and the opportunities they could have taken over the years seem a distant memory, when health issues take over and in some cases those health issues may threaten their lives.
Regardless of where we start, we all have choices and opportunities that arise, but where some of us will make and continue to make choices so that we turn our lives around or look for opportunities, others won't. I wasn't born knowing what I know and understand now.
Because I didn't like where I was, I decided to change and have spent a considerable amount of time working on myself. The sad part is that the people we get to hear about, simply don't choose or manage their lives enough to turn their lives around.

Ferdinand Habsburg has taken an impressive maiden victory in the FIA European Formula 3 Series as he worked his way up through the field from eighth place on the grid, race 1 winner Lando Norris exited on the first lap after getting caught up in an incident.
In a near carbon copy of the opening race of the weekend, Lando Norris led the field away from pole position and as the field approached Les Combes, the Prema Motorsport pair of Callum Ilott and Guanyu Zhou overtook the Carlin driver. As the cars bunched up there was contact, pitching the Chinese driver in to a spin.
David Beckman was also caught up in the incident but managed to get back to the pits along with Zhou, Norris however was out of the race.
Thankfully this time there were no safety cars needed as the competitors cleared the track. Further around in the opening lap Maximilian Günther overtook Ilott with ease.
While Günther started to pull away, a battle for second place was breaking out between Ilott and Jake Hughes, trading positions numerous times. Behind this fight, Habsburg and Jehan Daruvala were having a battle of their own.
As the race hit the halfway point, Ilott caught and passed Günther, and it wasn't long before the German was back in charge of the race and the British driver was left to defend from Habsburg.
The Austrian manage to ease passed Ilott in to second place and while this was happening Hughes was closing in, in the space of five minutes Ilott had dropped from challenging for the lead to fourth position.
With 6 minutes left of the race, Habsburg passed Günther whilst Ilott lost another position to Joel Eriksson. As the clock counted down, Habsburg pulled out a lead of 2 seconds over one lap. By the time Ilott rounded the start/finish line he had lost another place as he dropped to sixth place.
On the penultimate lap Eriksson moved in to second pace with Günther hanging on for third place. Habsburg crossed the finish line to take his first European F3 victory with an advantage of 2.117 seconds over Eriksson and Günther.
