MSN Messenger 8.0 is expected to be launched at the end of the year, but its features have already been leaked. It is interesting to see the different approaches to IM taken by MSN and Google. MSN's philosophy appears to be to add every feature imaginable, whereas Google Talk thinks that more is less and focuses on just providing a basic IM service without all the bells and whistles.
But from what I see, most of it looks like "Junk" to me…
If you are interested, here are all the new 'cool' features MSN messenger 8.0 will have that will make the client even bulkier and harder to use:
• Change of Messenger Skins
• Real-time Emotions
• Messenger Built Internal Windows Media Player 10
• Pause/Resumed File Transfers (File Blocked Extension Applied)
• Detailed File Transfer (Download/Upload Speed)
• Animated Display Pictures (.gif .jpg .png (File Support under Consideration))
• Mood Status
• Faster Contact List Loading and scrolling
• Public Profile and MSN Spaces Combined
• More MSN Space features
• New Hotmail and MSN Messenger Integration
• Downloadable MSN Messenger on Mobile
• News Updates according to Location
• Top 10 MSN Music Radio
• New Stylish Notifier Pop-up
• Downloadable Skins for MSN (Contact Window & Conversation Window)
• Complete Integration with Windows XP® & Windows Vista® Codename: Longhorn®
• Offline Voice/Message Machine
• Animated Buddy Icon Helper
• Display Picture Ratings

Rewarding Redemption ties up all the loose ends from the four previous novels and brings this series to an end. We finally meet Jenny as she makes her way toward Clearwater County, the treasure, and something with it that is more important to her than the treasure itself.
Jenny's mother died when she was quite young. Since her mother's death, her father, the leader of the Caracus gang, turned cruel and became a monster of a man, causing Jenny to run away. She's been on the run ever since.
Agent Mendez, who we've met in the other novels, and felt like such a threat to the other Caracus sisters, has been following Jenny for years. This is the closest he's ever been to her in all the time he's been tracking her.
I liked how Rewarding Redemption gave us a different viewpoint of Jason Mendez. I didn't like him very much in the other novels. He came across much differently in this novel. The previous connection between him and Jenny from their childhood made all the difference in the world about how I viewed him and his intentions. I developed a positive opinion of him as I read the story.
This novel was written with alternating viewpoints between Jenny and Jason in third person point-of-view. This helped the reader to understand the mind of both characters and how they felt about each other and the way they thought about everything that was happening around them.
There were several plot twists and turns in the story that lead to serious emotional setbacks for Jenny. When you have almost no one in the world that you can count on, rejection by the few you can turn to can be crippling. There was lots of danger and betrayal for Jenny and Jason, so I'm glad Jason didn't turn out to be the bad guy I thought he was.
I think that though Jenny was forced to face issues from her past sooner than she wanted to, it was better for her. For one thing she was able to stop running. She discovered things about herself that she didn't know before and it changed her future for the better, putting people in her life that she could count on.
I loved how the story ended. I think that was one of the highlights of the book for me because of the joy it brought to others. That's all I can say about it or it will be a spoiler, except that it made me smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside and wish that I could be there.
I gave Rewarding Redemption a rating of 5 stars out of 5 because of the clever plot twists and the satisfying ending to the story. I enjoyed Ms. Paulson's writing style and look forward to reading more of her work.
Thank you to the author for providing a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.

JLT Retirement Planning Services
The Dilemma
Americans are NOT saving enough.
In fact, 36% of Americans have NOTHING saved for retirement.
14% of people aged 65 and older have NO retirement savings
26% of people aged 50-64 have NO retirement savings
33% of people aged 30-49 have NO retirement savings
69% of people aged 18-29 have NO retirement savings
It Gets Even Worse…
36% of people have less than $1,000 of those that DO save
60% of people have than $25,000 of those that DO save
The Reasons You Don't Save
"I Deserve This (and this…and this)!"
Translation – You're trying to fill an emotional void. Solution: Reframe your thinking around what you deserve. Don't you deserve financial security and a comfortable retirement more than a fleeting buzz of instant gratification?
The Reasons You Don't Save
"I have to Worry About My Family!"
Translation – You pay yourself last. Women, all too often, worry about needs of others, thereby neglecting their own future security. But given all the statistics regarding women consistently under earning men, living longer, and the risk of divorce and widowhood, women need to be saving more for themselves today than ever before.
Solution –Pay Yourself First!
The Reasons You Don't Save
"I Can't Even Think About The Future!"
Translation – You don't have a plan. Solution: Take 15 to 30 minutes tonight to consider your financial goals.

Senate Republicans for a second time blocked a symbolic attempt by Democrats to reject President Bush's troop increase yesterday, but GOP defections were higher than before, suggesting Republican cracks as the Iraq war dominates Congress's agenda.
With the 56 to 34 vote, Democrats fell shy of the 60 votes required to kick off debate on a nonbinding resolution passed by the House last week that expresses support for the troops but criticizes Bush's decision to expand combat ranks by more than 20,000 troops. Senate Democrats picked up five new Republican allies in their effort to advance the resolution, bringing the GOP total to seven.
But the fate of the resolution is now very much in doubt. Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) announced after the vote that he would not bring up the resolution again. Both sides instead are girding for the next phase, a confrontation over war funding, with some Democrats determined to exercise the power of the purse to influence Iraq strategy.
As Congress struggled to find its voice in the Iraq debate, the administration intensified its own campaign to convince the American public that the conflict remains winnable. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice paid a surprise visit to Baghdad yesterday, announcing that the increase in troops was bringing "new hope and a new optimism" to the besieged city. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki assured Bush on Friday that the buildup had already achieved "fabulous success."
Those optimistic pronouncements appeared to have little impact on the Senate floor yesterday, where a rare Saturday session made for a dramatic political tableau. Presidential candidates jetted in from various primary states, having canceled visits to popular diners and town-hall meetings to cast their vote. They did not all show. One of the 10 absentees was Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a supporter of the Bush plan, who was campaigning in Iowa.
Most Democrats were already seated at their desks when the roll call began shortly before 2 p.m. The only Democrat who missed the vote was Sen. Tim Johnson (S.D.), who is recovering from brain surgery. Democratic Sens. Robert P. Casey Jr. (Pa.) and Max Baucus (Mont.) canceled plans to visit Iraq this weekend and were present on the floor. Their traveling companions, GOP Sens. Jon Kyl (Ariz.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.), went ahead with the trip and missed the Senate action.
The resolution was identical to a measure that passed the House on Friday, with modest Republican support. "Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States Armed Forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq," the resolution states. And it adds, "Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq."
Reid said he would not try a third time to put the Senate on record against the troop increase. But he said the Iraq debate would continue when the Senate returns Feb. 26 from a week-long recess and turns to legislation to enact homeland security recommendations from the Sept. 11 commission.
Reid promised that both sides would be allowed to offer Iraq-related amendments to that bill. And Congress will soon debate Bush's request for $100 billion in additional funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for the current fiscal year. In the House, Democrats are moving to fully fund the president's war request, under the condition that the administration follow strict standards for training and equipping troops.
During separate conversations with U.S. and Iraqi officials in Baghdad yesterday, Rice referred to the looming skirmishes in Washington over the troop buildup and funding request.
"Some of the debate in Washington is in fact indicative of the concerns that the American people have about the prospects of success if Iraqi leadership doesn't do what it needs to do," Rice told reporters during a roundtable discussion at the house of the U.S. ambassador to Iraq yesterday afternoon.
"I think there's a new spirit here to try to do those things," she said. "The input appears to be there. The political support appears to be there."
But Democrats believe they are playing a strong hand in the Iraq debate. Polls show that most voters oppose a troop increase, and the GOP's heavy losses in the November elections were widely interpreted as a call for more aggressive vetting of Bush's Iraq strategy.
As soon as Bush announced the military buildup early last month, Democratic leaders considered ways to officially register an objection. Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) agreed to begin work on a nonbinding resolution, believing it was the easiest vote politically, including for Republicans who are disaffected by Bush's leadership on Iraq.
But in the Senate, Republicans decided to offer their own nonbinding measure, asserting that Congress would not cut off troop funding. Some Democrats opposed to the Iraq war want to target Pentagon spending as a way to force a withdrawal of troops.
Reid refused to allow a vote on the GOP measure, explaining that he wanted to keep the debate focused on the troop increase. Republicans now have twice voted this month to block a nonbinding resolution, on grounds that Reid was not playing fair. In spirited floor speeches in recent days, Democrats taunted their GOP colleagues for throwing up procedural hurdles to protect Bush from a potentially embarrassing repudiation.
"They are trying to divert attention from the issue at hand," Reid said of Republicans yesterday. "They'd like to turn the Senate into a procedural quagmire. They want to hide behind weak and misleading arguments about the Senate's rules or a senator's right to offer amendments. These arguments are diversions."
But Republicans accused Democrats of hiding behind the Senate rulebook to avoid the funding question.
"The reason we're here on a Saturday playing stupid political games while people are off in Iraq trying to win this war is because our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are afraid to take a vote on cutting off funding," blasted Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), in a speech before the vote.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would not relent. "I think the majority of Senate Republicans have made it clear again today, and are highly likely to do that again in the future, that when we turn to this issue, we're going to insist on voting on funding the troops," the Kentucky Republican said.
The White House issued a statement saying "this week's voting gave the world a glimpse of democracy's vigor," but it also welcomed the funding showdown.
"The next votes should provide unmistakable assurance of this nation's resolve in achieving success, supporting the cause of democracy, and stopping terrorist forces in their ultimate aim of bringing their violence to our shores," the White House said.
Seven Republicans voted with the Democrats to allow the debate to proceed, including Sens. John W. Warner (Va.), Chuck Hagel (Neb.), Gordon Smith (Ore.), Norm Coleman (Minn.), Arlen Specter (Pa.), Olympia J. Snowe (Maine) and Susan M. Collins (Maine). When Republicans voted to block a similar, albeit lengthier, resolution earlier this month, only Collins and Coleman broke ranks. Among these Republicans, all but Specter and Snowe are up for reelection in 2008.
The Republican senators aside from McCain, Kyl and Corker who were absent yesterday were Robert F. Bennett (Utah), Christopher S. Bond (Mo.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), John Ensign (Nev.), Orrin G. Hatch (Utah) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska). Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) voted with Republicans.
The seven Republican defectors are all on record opposing the Bush plan. Several other GOP senators, including Sens. Sam Brownback (Kan.) and George Voinovich (Ohio), have expressed concerns, but they voted with their party yesterday. Warner was the chief author of the earlier nonbinding resolution on Iraq to come before the Senate. That version was shelved last week for the simpler House text.
"I feel that the Senate, the Senate of the United States of America, an institution revered throughout the world, should have the right to go forward and debate this critical issue before America today, before the whole world," Warner said. "I think we've come to the point in time where we must move forward."

Even if you don't think you know KT Tunstall, you definitely know two songs from her 2005 debut album, Eye to the Telescope: "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," and "Suddenly I See" were in just about every movie and TV show from 2006 to 2008. That's barely an exaggeration; the songs' on-screen appearances included The Devil Wears Prada, Ghost Whisperer, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, The Hills, So You Think You Can Dance, the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood and Dancing With The Stars - on two separate occasions. If you were alive in 2006 you're familiar.

They have performed for The White Sox, The Blackhawks, Arlington Race Track, companies too numerous to name, country club events, and house parties. Wherever people gather to celebrate and have a good time, Soda has been there. They bring the songs. And they bring the experience to make your special event one to remember.

In the third part of this series, We shall now investigate the cards as they are used in America.
"Ramblers No. 23"- (USPCC) 52c. + 2 jokers.
The deck of cards here varies substantially from the Waddingtons deck ( see http://anthonylesq.blogspot.com/2012/03/international-pattern-part-i.html).
I- the cards use the wider, "poker"format ( 6.7 x 8.7 cm) , which is used by almost all the US card makers
II the designs are somewhat simpler than the waddingtons ones, but still use the same four colours.
III the indexes are in only 2 corners.
It would be perhaps of interes to note that the courts used in this deck are identical to those used in the more famous "bicycle"decks.

Review: After another day at his dead-end job, Finn Maguire comes home to find his dad has been killed. With the lack of other DNA and other fingerprints, and because hte police have no one else ot go on, he is pinned as prime suspect. Now on his own, Finn has to try and clear his name. By doing so, he gets pulled into his family history, gang politics, rivalries, and various other sorts of danger.I don't normally read crimey things but I think I should, as I quite enjoy it when I do. There's always interesting things happening and they're often unpredictable. Crusher is like this. I wouldn't really call it fun, but I like it. There's definitely a thrill.It all gets going quite quickly, with the murder and establishing Finn's situation done within the first few chapters. The story then develops at the same fast pace throughout.A thing stolen from my latin friend is the expression of interest levels on an updowny scale. The interest levels for this are high at the start, low middle at the middle, middle a bit further, and high at the end. Thrill levels follow this pattern too. There's some incredibly boring bits, and then there's other bits which you just have to read on, including the scene from which (I assume) Crusher gets its name.The women in Crusher were the most interesting. Zoe seemed nice enough, but it didn't work out well in the end (because it's written by a guy? Most books written by men feature romances that don't work out, women tend to write ambiguous or happy endings. A post for later?). Else, I knew there was something off about her, but what happened at the end was totally unexpected and in any future novels, she should definitely have a major part in them. Finn's mother is very secretive, and the ending finishes off Crusher well.Finn, you do feel sorry for when you think about all he goes through. He is surprisingly clever despite his introduction as a dead end boy, and he thinks on his feet well. The whole danger from all sides is ok ish. It's interesting, but also not in a way. It's hard to describe. I do like the fact that the separate plots all come together after a lot of guessing.Overall: Strength 3 tea to a thriller with a lot of ups and downs.

Drawn by Courtney Fehsenfeld
Wills Rooney is a senior at Duke majoring in self-directed program called "Market, Society, and Personalism," which basically means he was too Aristotelian for the Politics, Philosophy, and Economics program. He runs cross-country and track, writes for The Chronicle, and was formerly a student director of the Catholic Center. Department Of met Wills in an abandoned Divinity School classroom to talk theology, mozzarella sticks, and why the hell he has an "s" at the end of his name.
Just a friendly reminder: this is a real interview. Like, these are real quotes from the real Wills Rooney.
Department Of: What's up with the "s" at the end of your name? Are you just too good for the name Will?
Wills Rooney: I've been a Wills since basically day 1. I had a couple of identity crises throughout my early life. In second grade, my name tag on my desk was changed from "Wills" to "William" and then I decided halfway through that term, I wanted to go back to "Wills". When I came to Duke, I didn't know how to introduce myself, because I was deciding for life: who am I going to be? But then my roommate was named William. I tried to call myself "Will," but by November, I realized, this is not right. This is not who I am. This is not who I've been. So "Wills" it is.
DO: So, to be perfectly honest, the only thing I know about you is that you invite me to Catholic Center events on Facebook alllllllllllllll the time. So naturally, the question to ask is: who is your favorite Pope and why?
WR: Ah, excellent question! Saint John Paul II. Saint John Paul the Great is definitely my favorite pope. He's a big spiritual hero for me. In very casual terms, just an absolute all-around legend.
[Insert Wills talking for 15 minutes on the biography of Saint John Paul II. In lieu of reading a transcription of this portion of the interview, Department Of recommends "Witness to Hope" by George Weigel or the Wikipedia page for Pope John Paul II.]
WR: He was smart. He was pastoral. He was charismatic. He was so caring. He was a real talent and overcame so much. He means a lot to me spiritually, as well.
DO: So what exactly does a Board of Trustees meeting look like? Because when I picture it, I picture the war room from Dr. Strangelove.
WR: It's a pretty impressive room. I mean the Board is entrusted with the fate of Duke University. Pretty big thing. It's real role is to guide the university forward administratively through the ages. A young trustee is an advocate for the undergraduate experience. Not an advocate for policy agendas.
DO: What do you think is the most pressing issue facing the Board of Trustees in the coming year?
WR: I think curricular review is the biggest thing right now and the issue most directly affecting the student experience. I really do think a solid curriculum will help make classmates become friends, which is a phenomenon, at least in my experience, you don't see that often. If we can get an integrated curriculum, then we'll have a more integrated social environment. Then I think a lot of the social issues we encounter on campus, whether it be stratification or, really, segmentation. Duke is statistically diverse, but it's not truly integrated.
DO: So, if I hear you correctly, you're telling me that the most pressing issue is NOT the frequently cheese-less mozzarella sticks at The Loop?
WR: No. I actually don't get those that often. That would REALLY dismay me if that were the case. I'm a big mozzarella sticks guy. I would be deeply disappointed. And Javon is a great guy at The Loop. I knew if I got cheese-less mozzarella sticks, I'd go right back to him and he'd hook me up with a whole new batch.
DO: In DukeToday articles, you have been called a "young man of deep conviction, curiosity, and compassion," "an absolute pleasure to have in class," and "Catholic." What do you say to such accusations?
WR: Well, I'm very honored to have them. Those are all things I aspire to be, certainly. Every single one of them, even the Catholic part. I once heard someone call himself a "practicing Catholic, because it takes practice," so I like to imagine myself as a "practicing Catholic" in the fullest sense of the phrase.
DO: So about that BSA endorsement, I saw there was a statement, but, to be honest, tl;dr. Can you explain that to me?
WR: Basically, if you are a member of the executive board of an organization and you are in the Young Trustee race, your organization shouldn't be having an endorsement meeting.
DO: Isn't the Young Trustee supposed to be representative of the student body? And you're not part of BSA, I'm assuming…so wouldn't it behoove you to meet with them to hear about how they want to be represented to the board if you were elected?
WR: I'm happy to meet with BSA, just not in the context of an endorsement. Likewise, I am happy to meet with the IFC board. BSA emailed me about an endorsement meeting, not a meeting to express how they want to be represented.
DO: So Mi Gente recently published an article in The Chronicle in which they stated they would no longer participate in Latino and Latina student recruitment until Duke responds to their demands. What do you think is the Board's role when confronted with such things?
WR: I think activism in order to be effective needs to be performative. Performative in the sense that the action needs to be indicative of what the group's values are. I think the general framing of demands in an antagonistic, pretty aggressive, and disrespectful way is rude. It disregards and degrades the dignity of the Board. These students feel disregarded. Sure, it's not good. But in owning and affirming your own dignity, you treat others with dignity. The approach in trying to hold the university hostage is not productive. Look, I'm not in Mi Gente, obviously, though I know some people who are. I don't know how much they've reached out to the university in the first place. But I think that general demand approach is not prudent. That being said, it is fair for Mi Gente to say we don't feel honest recruiting Latino students to come to Duke given our current situation. I laud them for that.
DO: You say demands are not productive, but we've seen demands be used productively in previous activist struggles. What do you think it says about Duke when people are more upset about the violation of politeness than the violation of other students' safety on campus?
WR: I'm not talking social decorum. I'm talking moral decorum. Look, Martin Luther King very much championed a peaceful social justice. Thanks for calling me on saying demands are not productive. What I mean is demands can be productive within a proper moral framework. In that sense, I don't think people are getting angry just because of social decorum. I think the substance of the demands frustrate people.
DO: It seems that part of your role at YT will be helping to make decisions as to how to reply to these demands…especially demands about curriculum and whether and how to include critical race theory or gender studies into the curriculum. How are you going to approach such decisions?
WR: Critical race theory and gender studies are predicated upon a Nietzschean and Freudian view of the human person, which more fundamentally needs to be critiqued itself on the philosophical level. Because those disciplines are complicated, but what is most complicated is the assumptions about the human person and the reality upon which they are based, which is that existence precedes essence. I certainly do not subscribe to it. It is fundamentally incompatible with any moral truth. That's where dialogue ceases to begin.
DO: Wouldn't taking a class on those things create the space for people to be critically engaged with them?
WR: There's a place for them in the curriculum. Is it something that I would require? No, because it's a different level in terms of the nature of disciplinary inquiry. If we're taking John Henry Newman, who wrote about the university in 1852, at his word, we can't begin without something in first principles.
DO: Newman wrote about the university in the 1850s. But it seems to me that the university is a very different place now in 2016. What do you think he doesn't know about the university? How has the university changed?
WR: Scientific knowledge has changed and the emphasis our society puts on it has very much changed. It means our university has a large amount of its resources dedicated towards the furthering of scientific knowledge. In the humanities and liberal arts, you aren't really pushing back frontiers of knowledge. You're constantly addressing the same timeless questions. What Newman offers is a model of curricular guidance for liberal arts, because the human person is the same as it was in 1852, as it was in the medieval ages, as it was in the classical period. The human condition is the same.
DO: But who is considered a human person has changed.
WR: Well, yeah. In a technical sense.
DO: Which member of the Board of Trustees do you make your best friend?
WR: Adam Silver, commissioner of the NBA, would be cool. I'd be very interested as a student-athlete to ask about the relationship between the NCAA and the NBA. He'd also probably give good insights into the philosophy of sport.
DO: So what you mean is you want free tickets to basketball games?
WR: Mmmmmmmmmaybe. I'm not a die-hard fan of any NBA team. But I tell you what, it wouldn't be bad to go to a NBA game.
DO: Earth, round or flat?
WR: Round.
DO: Are you thinking profile pictures or cover photos?
WR: Both.
DO: Bold move. Are you paying a graphic designer or just fiddling with Photoshop?
WR: I have a buddy.
DO: Drake or Meek Mill?
WR: [pauses for a long period of time]
WR: Drake.
DO: Young Money or Young Trustee?
WR: Young Trustee.
DO: Worst thing you had to do for frat pledging?
WR: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Just sucking up to guys.
DO: Pro or con Duke's new hoverboard policy?
WR: I'm not for it. Let the hoverboards loose!
DO: Would you rather run for a C1 or get to class late?
WR: Run for a C1. I run cross-country and track, so I'd rather run for a C1. And I like class.
DO: Do you have any go-to jokes at a party that you tell?
WR: Man, these are tough questions.
DO: The party-joke is a lost art form.
WR: Sorry!
DO: What is your favorite comedy publication?
WR: I know I'm talking to a hometown crowd, but definitely Department Of. You had that, uh, article. About politics? It made me laugh.
Be sure to vote in the Young Trustee election on February 9 and 10. After all, the vast majority of Duke students don't, so your vote will count extra, as if you're in Florida!

The Golden-crowned Sparrow is a medium sized sparrow, slightly larger than the closely related White-crowned Sparrow. It has a distinct gold patch on its head, flanked by two dark black stripes. When not breeding, its plumage is more variable, ranging from a small, dull gold patch and no black, to near breeding season plumage.
The song is a three note whistle, descending in pitch. It is very distinctive and often described as "Oh, dear me", each note an interval lower in pitch than the preceding. However, birds in the mountains of British Columbia have been reported to have trill on the third note, rather than a clear whistle as in other populations. These songs are heard mainly in the breeding season, but also in the wintering grounds just after fall migration as well as just before they take off for spring migration.
Alaskan gold miners along the trails called this bird Weary Willie, because of its call which sounded like "I'm so weary". The song resembles the popular tune known as "Volare" (Italian for the infinitive form of the verb "to fly") written by Domenico Modugno in 1957. Sergio Franchi sang the song, with modified lyrics, as the television spokesman for the Plymouth Volare in the 1970s.
The entire population of Golden-crowned Sparrows migrates within North America. They leave the breeding grounds in Alaska and Canada late in the fall, most arriving on the wintering grounds throughout northwestern California, Oregon and Washington from mid-September through October. Birds begin to return to the breeding grounds in April or May.
These sparrows makes a habit out of digging in the ground for grubs, insects, and seeds. This is because it has extremely large feet and claws. They use a digging technique of jumping backward off of both feet at the same time, which stirs up the soil, leaf litter, or grass. They then move forward to see what they have uncovered. Sometimes, when they jump backward, you can see the seeds popping up from out of the grass, where they were hidden before.
Golden-crowned Sparrow Nests are usually dug into the ground or placed in a depression so their rims are even with the ground. Each bird has its own feeding spot at a bird feeder. Even when there are no other birds around, it uses its spot exclusively. A group of Golden-crowned Sparrows are collectively known as a "reign" of sparrows.
The Golden-crowned Sparrow was considered a pest early in the 20th Century, because flocks would feed on vegetables and flowers in gardens and cultivated fields. Its actual impact was not as great as was originally thought, and it is no longer considered a pest. Its population has grown in the past 30 years, and the Golden-crowned Sparrow is now a more common Washington winter resident than it was 30-50 years ago. Its far northern breeding grounds are well protected, with many of them located in national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges.

Alrighty, then.
When I deplaned the other evening (What day is it?) I only wanted to see my husband. I'm not a big fan of these contrived little holidays where we are all supposed to drum up some romance on cue. While I've been lying in bed feeling loved and pampered I've been thinking about...well, love.
Here's what the real deal looks like:
Your woman gets off an international flight looking like a refugee (truth be told probably smelling like one too not having showered in a number of days too embarrassing to mention) and you treat her like she's the best thing you've ever seen.
She has a raging fever and cold chills and you wrap your entire body around her and hold on tight until it stops and she can sleep.
Endless patience for endless requests.
Any man can talk a good game, come through with the occasional appropriate gift, and tell you you look great when you are already pretty sure yourself that you do. But there's that whole other side of life. So...
Perfume? I mean we won't turn it down.
Flowers? Bring 'em on.
Chocolate? Currently makes me gag, but you know normally...sure.
But by comparison to being taken care of when you can't really take care of yourself...they pale to the color of my face right now.
There. My one sappy sentimental post for the year. We will soon return to our regularly scheduled snarky programming.

This easy no-bake cheesecake combines cherry pie filling and juicy, fresh blueberries. A pre-made graham cracker crust keeps it simple!
Of course you can always use your favorite graham cracker crust recipe.
This post may contain affiliate links
I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of cheesecakes, even though I love to bake them.
But this is one that even I can get behind. The whipped topping keeps it so light and airy! Perfect for summer.
And it's no-bake…a definite bonus this time of year.
This recipe starts with a pre-made graham cracker pie crust like this one.
Oh yes I did! It's just too hot to mess with a scratch crust. But if you have a crust recipe you like better, go for it!
This cheesecake takes a few hours to firm up so leave yourself plenty of time to let it set.
Start by beating the cream cheese and sugar together until they're smooth. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, otherwise your pie might be lumpy after you fold in the whipped topping.
Then fold in the whipped topping until it's well combined.
Spoon it into the pie crust and smooth it out.
Let it chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until it's good and firm.
Spoon the pie filling over the top and sprinkle on the fresh blueberries.
You can give it a shot of whipped cream and a couple of extra blueberries if you like.
To quote Ina Garten, "How easy is that?".

Taylor has donated her hair twice before. This is the first time she has done it in honor of someone special.
Sean's little sister Nicole was recently diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and Taylor wanted to pay Tribute to her and her upcoming battle against cancer.
Taylor and her new 'do' with Geaba
Monday Nicole goes in for surgery. Please keep her in your prayers. Especially pray for my precious nephew Noah as his mom won't be her usual self for awhile. I petition you to pray for complete healing, little if any side effects, peace for the family free from any of the anxious thoughts they might be tempted to entertain. Most importantly for God's provision to be evident through her recovery.
Taylor said it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders as soon as her hair was cut. She also commented how for her it was a choice and she still has a lot of hair left but for those dealing with Cancer it is not a choice and they don't have any hair left. I admire her sensitivity, and her generosity.
Often, I try to remember that we have no idea what things people are experiencing or dealing with in their lives. I remind myself to offer someone a little extra grace, a smile, or an encouraging word.
Try to be that person this week in honor of Nicole.

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan maintained its ultra-loose monetary policy on Friday and downgraded its view on inflation in a fresh blow to its long-held 2 percent price goal, further complicating the central bank's path to rolling back its crisis-era stimulus.
Following are comments from BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda at his post-meeting news conference:
"It's true year-on-year growth in consumer prices is slowing. This is partly due to falling durable goods prices blamed on past yen rises and temporary fluctuations in hotel costs. But more companies, particularly in the service industry, are passing on rising costs to consumers. Companies' price-setting behavior appears to be changing. The economy is sustaining momentum to achieve the BOJ's 2 percent inflation target."
"The board will engage in further debate on price moves at its next rate review in July, when it issues its quarterly long-term forecasts."
"While there may be a need to deepen debate (on why inflation remains subdued), but there's no plan now to conduct another comprehensive review on price developments."
"Each country must opt for the best monetary policy in light of its economic and price conditions. Japan's economy is seeing labor markets tighten and the output gap improving, but prices aren't rising much. As such, it's most appropriate to patiently maintain our powerful monetary easing."
"There are some factors seen in the United States and Europe that are keeping inflation in Japan subdued. On top of that, there are factors unique to Japan that are weighing on inflation. That's the deflationary mindset of households and companies, which became entrenched due to 15 years of deflation."
"Short-term inflation expectations tend to move in response to underlying price moves. But medium- and long-term inflation expectations aren't rising much. That's due to Japan's deflationary mindset."

Prepare to have your hearts broken… Victoria Beckham has confirmed she WON'T be taking part in a Spice Girls reunion. *Sob*.
Last month, the 41-year-old's bandmate Mel B hinted that the group may be getting back together – and (as expected) every 90s kid went a teeny bit insane.
Speaking to Metro, Mel said: 'I think it's our 20th year next year so we're going to be doing something at some point with hopefully all of us.'
How amazing would that be?! Scary, Posh, Sporty, Ginger and Baby back together again for the first time since the London Olympics' Closing Ceremony in 2012.
See: Will The Spice Girls Finally Reunite This Year?
But unfortunately, it seems it's not to be.
A spokesperson for Victoria told TMZ yesterday that she 'has been very respectful about the fabulous time they had together in the past, however her focus is now very much her family and fashion business.' Booo :(.
Victoria juggles being mum to sons Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 10, and four-year-old daughter Harper with running her eponymous fashion line, so she does have her work cut out.
And of course, the Spice Girls could still reunite without her. Although it wouldn't be quite be the same.
The band – also consisting of Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell – released their debut single Wannabe in 1996.
See: Mel B Reveals How The Spice Girls Got Their Nicknames
This was followed by their debut album Spice later that year, which introduced us to hit tunes such as Say You'll Be There, 2 Become 1 and Who Do You Think You Are.
Yep. It really HAS been 20 years since all that happened…
Are you feeling old yet? Because we certainly are.

Billions of commercial loans ballooning and becoming payable in 2013 combined with a "perfect storm" of historic low interest rates, rising rents, and low vacancies point toward apartment as smart investments. Now is the time for real estate investors to explore the possibilities of an increase of value priced properties entering the market.
Billions Of Commercial Loans Are Ballooning In 2013
The last big "real estate buying" period for both residential and commercial real estate properties nationwide was around 2007/2008. As real estate investors we should be aware that many of the existing 5 year fixed commercial loans used to finance those real estate investments may be ballooning or becoming all due and payable in 2013.
Ballooning Commercial Mortgages
Upwards of 4,750+ CMBS (Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities) with loan balances near $55 billion may need to be refinanced in 2013 alone. Sadly, a very high percentage of these same potentially ballooning commercial mortgages may not have sufficient income to service the existing mortgage debt...
Commercial "Short Sales" May Be Increase
In many situations, the existing commercial mortgage debt may currently exceed the conservative market value today in 2013 based upon the income and expenses for the existing properties. Yet, some mortgage lenders or servicing companies may accept partial payoffs almost akin to a residential "Short Sale" by way or either a sale or a refinance so property owners should still try to remain somewhat optimistic in spite of their challenging financial position today...
Smart Bet – Invest in Apartments
In 2013, apartment buildings are probably the most popular type of property to fund in many regions due to decreasing vacancy rates, increasing rents, and incredibly low mortgage rates for apartments which may significantly increase the owner's net monthly cash flow...
As the economy recovers, savvy real estate investors know there are plenty of opportunities for smart and profitable real estate investments. For nearly 90 years, the professionals at Kernors LLC have been helping their clients grow and protect wealth. Call today to get started: 503.670.9433

"It's possible that application fees for new gTLDs could be artificially propped up in order to discourage gaming," reports Kevin Murphy in Domain Incite: "In the newly published draft policy recommendations for the next new gTLD round, ICANN volunteers expressed support for keeping fees high 'to deter speculation, warehousing of TLDs, and mitigating against the use of TLDs for abusive or malicious purposes'. ... I wonder how much of a deterrent to warehousing an artificially high application fee would be; deep-pocketed Google and Amazon appear to have warehoused dozens of TLDs they applied for in the 2012 round."

must take steps to build entrepreneurs," were the words of President-elect, Dr
Trevor Gardner, during an inspiring message to an audience of proud Alumni, University
Workers, and other special guests and dignitaries at an Alumni Luncheon held on
main campus yesterday, Tuesday June 19, 2012. The Luncheon was the first in the series of
week-long commemorative activities, which are to be staged to mark his
installation on Monday June 25, 2012. He
also used the occasion to speak on several pertinent issues concerning the
development of the University.
keeping with the week's theme, Bold
Beginnings... Challenging Present... Glorious Future, he began by
acknowledging and commending the University Board Chairman and President of
Jamaica Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventist, Pastor Everett Brown for his
"Christian commitment and vision for what NCU can become", all this over a
sumptuous three-course.
Dr. Trevor Gardner, NCU President (right) listens to Dr. Byron Robinson (left) philanthropist while he makes a point at the NCU Alumni Luncheon
to the economic climate in which we live, Dr. Gardner placed significant
emphasis on financial matters, suggesting that the university revives its
industrial spirit – making it clear that "there is a degree of genius in
industry at this institution that the nation needs desperately". And in validating his call to build
entrepreneurs, he went on to say, "sell intellectual power and property
throughout the Caribbean; earn more money from the sale of intellectual
property, rather than raising tuition".
Gardner also praised NCU students and alumni; sharing that he has found from
interaction with corporate society that "the NCU graduate is paralleled by
none". He then made a welcomed announcement of plans to declare 50 scholarships
in keeping with Jamaica's 50th Anniversary celebrations.
major issues addressed by Dr Gardner included the development of the university
town, plans for a medical school and the opening of a water-bottling plant for
fundraising purposes.
in the programme, former United Student Movement (USM) President, Mr Robert Miller
shared a little of his experiences working with Dr. Gardner. He described him
as "an advocate for the rights of the vulnerable" and as a man with "creative
ideas". Additionally, celebrated philanthropist
Dr Byron Robinson recalled his West-Indies College experience and how it helped
shape his character and introduced him to Jesus.
entire setting was very beautiful. The Main Auditorium was well adorned, as a
bride awaiting her groom, with colours of blue, yellow and white fabric, in the
midst were immaculately outfitted dining tables, dressed to perfection. Proud
alumni, university administrators and other special guests and dignitaries were
lounged and dined as the soothing sound of piano chords hovered throughout the
the commemorative activities continue, the entire university family is in high
gear as it prepares for other events which are to happen on campus this week.

(Hopefully there will be a less tongue in cheek entry later.) The raccoon collective has sent their storm raccoons after me, and have left me stranded in Chicago O'Hare airport, but I will not be averted from my quest to find America's elusive raccoons. Soon, my travel plans will be back on track and I will be jetting my way to New Jersey and into shy_matsi's supportive paws. I will say this, however: cryoyank (formerly a raccoon before he discovered his dragonhood) was right. America can conjure up a cold that seeps into your very bones and cut right through my warmest clothes. But the cold is no match for the warmth of the reception I've received in this beautiful country, nor for their indomitable spirit when faced by the trials of snow and ice.
My search for wild raccoons began in earnest in Denver, where kit_mcgrath took me 'coon hunting. We found no raccoons, but we did find raccoon tracks. Acting on a tip off, I made my way to Wichita, having learnt that the name Wichita is derived from a local native American word "Kitikitish" which means raccoon eyelids. My search came up empty (except for rumours of raccoon furs, which I understandably didn't follow up), but I know I'm closing in on them by the efforts the storm raccoons are making to stop me.
Those tracking me may feel free to check the latest photos on Flickr.

What Is The Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)?
In the event that you are a proprietor of a small business, you may be curious as to what the Federal Unemployment Tax is and how it applies to your personal tax calculations. The tax itself provides for unemployment payments to workers who have lost their jobs. The Federal Unemployment Tax pays for any sort of unemployment that an individual draws on after losing their job, which helps prevent financially strapped taxpayers from ending up in tax debt. It is required that an employer pays both a state and a federal-level Federal Unemployment Tax.
How Much Do I Owe?
In order to calculate the exact amount of Federal Unemployment Tax that you must pay, it is important to get in contact with your state's tax Bureau. Another place where you can get information regarding your state's personal Federal Unemployment Tax is by checking out IRS Form 940. Here, you will find a list of addresses and phone numbers pertaining to state employment agencies.
Insofar as the federal level of Federal Unemployment Tax is concerned, prior to July 1, 2011 the tax rate was at 6.2%. After June 30, 2011, the tax rate was decreased to 6.0%. This tax applies directly to the first $7000 that you paid to every single employee. Again, the $7000 wage base applies to the federal level of the Federal Unemployment Tax only. Your state's rate may be different, and this is why it is important to do independent research on this matter.

I decided to do this when I saw the
archive on www.ice.org, the site of the ansi group iCE that has existed from
around 1990.
Converting ansi's for web display was more of a problem than I thought it would be. I could find no windows software to do this.
and it was iCE to the rescue once again. Bob Copeland's page has a
unix utility to convert ansi to gif or png format which came it pretty handy once I got it up and going on my server. (Look for it in the projects section of his page).
Anyway, I don't expect too much posts here... but as a once in a while thing, it should be cool.

Tips for Dealing with Bullying or a Bully
Bullying and cyberbullying happen more often than we realize. www. bullyingstatistics.org provided 6 tip for how to deal with bullying or a bully.
"Tips for dealing with bullying, or a bully
It can be difficult to deal with bullying, or a bully. It is more helpful when a bully's parents and school are involved as well, working to help diffuse the situation. If you are concerned that your child is the victim of bullying, here are six steps you can take to try and help him or her in dealing with bullying:
- Get your child's input: You need to be a safe place your child can turn for help when dealing with bullying. Be open to your child, and make sure that you are accepting. You should let your child know that being bullied is not his or her fault. Also, you should find out what has been tried to stop the bullying, and what has worked (or hasn't worked) so far.
- Talk to the school authorities: Discuss the problem with your child's teacher, principal or counselor. A meeting with all three can help everyone know how to help a child who is dealing with bullying. In many cases, bullying takes place in unsupervised areas, such as school buses, bathrooms, playgrounds and other areas that can be hard to monitor. If you know where the bullying is taking place, you can let school authorities know so that they can step up "patrols" in those areas to discourage bullying.
- Teach your child to avoid the bully: Your child does not need to fight back. Encourage him or her to avoid the bully when possible. Suggest that he or she walk away, and go find a teacher or other trusted adult.
- Encourage your child to be assertive: It is not necessary to fight back to defeat a bully. You can teach your child to stand up straight and tell the bully, firmly, to leave him or her alone. In some cases, this type of assertiveness will work.
- Practice with your child: It might be beneficial to have a little bit of role play with your child. This way he or she can practice what to say to a bully, or how to leave a situation that could turn into bullying.
- Teach your child to move in groups: A good support system can be an effective deterrent against bullies. Have your child go to school and other places with trusted and true friends when dealing with bullying."

(231) 947-4230
250 E. Front St., Ste. 301, Traverse City, MI 49684
Next we jumped in the car and headed across town to an event I just had to go to. It had been 'on' my radar for years, but for some reason, I'd just never made it there. The National Cherry Festival in Traverse City attracts over half a million people every year. It's been going strong since 1926, it's all about cherries and there's tons of fun stuff to do there.
Traverse City is the Cherry Capital of the World, so every year the entire town gets together and celebrates all things cherry. From cherry pies and candies to cherry wines and even cherry Bar-B-Q sauce, if you can make it with cherries, it's there and it's good. The festival also features food from tons of local restaurants and live entertainment, and it's more kid friendly fun than you can shake a cherry popsicle at. I even entered a cherry pie eating contest. I lost miserably, but who cares? I got a free piece of cherry pie. Bonus!
If you like cherries and good family fun, all wrapped up on one of Michigan's most beautiful bays, check out the National Cherry Festival. It's a slice of pure Michigan life.

Product Details:
Cell Guard 170 caplets by Biotec Foods.
Cell Guard™ provides the most potent and comprehensive antioxidant enzyme nutrition available.
Free radicals are unstable molecules which steal electrons from other molecules and disrupt healthy cell function. During this disruptive process, they create new free radicals and initiate chain reactions of cell damage.
Some free radicals are formed as a by-product of our normal cellular metabolism. Others are used by our white blood cells to destroy dangerous substances in a very selective manner. Recognizing the potential danger of uncontrolled free radicals, nature has armed our immune system with the powerful built-in protection of ANTIOXIDANT ENZYMES. These enzymes maintain cellular balance by stopping free radical chain reactions before they are out of control.
Isosproutplex 750 Mg*
A Proprietary Blend*
Glycine Max*
Wheat Sprout Concentrate*
Zea Mays*
Vitamin B-12 30 Mcg (%DV 500%)
Vitamin E 30 IU (%DV 100%)
Glutathione Peroxidase 30 Mcg*
* Daily value not established
Percent Daily Value is based on a 2000 calorie diet. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs.
Other Ingredients:
Concentrated plant enzymes, isoflavanoids, stearic acid, silicon dioxide, ethylcellulose.
Does Not Contain:
Yeast, gluten, sugar or starch.
Suggested Use:
We recommend starting with 5 tablets per day upon arising. TAKE WITH WATER ON AN EMPTY STOMACH AT LEAST ONE HALF HOUR BEFORE BREAKFAST. After a favorable response is achieved, you can maintain the same results with 3 tablets per day. Water is important; drink at least 8 glasses per day.
Each individual is unique. Some people are more toxic and have longer standing health concerns than others. The number of tablets that you use depends on your own unique individual needs. Your servings will change as your body condition changes.
In some cases its advisable to double or triple the initial dosage for faster results.
Since our product is a whole food and works nutritionally, we recommend a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low in fats and sugar. Other factors that can affect your body's condition are daily mental and emotional poise, fresh water and air, adequate sleep and regular exercise.
These tablets are whole foods made from enzyme rich sprouts. Our products work nutritionally and are not stimulants. Any results are nutritional and in no way mean to imply that you should not see a doctor.
Extra Information:
As we age, or whenever our cells cannot receive adequate nutrients, our natural body production of antioxidant enzymes decreases. When too many free radicals overwhelm a depleted enzyme system, cells become damaged and can no longer function or reproduce properly. In short, we have disease and further aging. This imbalance condition is called free radical pathology.
A threat to Immune System Balance.
The problem that our body's own antioxidant enzyme systems face in a modern 20th century environment is an enormous increase in free radical generating stress. Environmental pollutants, radiation, excess sun, physical overexertion, frequent illness, chronic infection, poor nutrition, aging and emotional stresses such as worry and depression all generate new free radicals and subsequent chain reactions which damage cells.

September 23, 2012 – John 3:1-15
Why Did Jesus Say That?
Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3
INTRO: I have always assumed Nicodemus came to Jesus in a home
But it's more likely, Jesus was staying on the Mt. of Olives
– sitting on rock or bundle of clothing, their faces illuminated by the campfire,
• these two teachers opposite each other in conversation
– John tells us they met at night – this is not a simple observation or insignificant detail
• G. Campbell Morgan, generously of Nicodemus, that he "wanted Jesus all to himself"
• but John uses time and place symbolically – e.g., 13:30 "and it was night"
○ he connects night with darkness and both with being lost and stumbling around (vv. 19-21)
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him (Jn. 11:10)
○ at the very least, John indicates that Nicodemus was in the dark — unenlightened
Nicodemus begins the conversation:
Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with Him (v. 2)
He acknowledges Jesus as a teacher
– two weeks ago when Philip called Jesus, "Rabbi," we saw it as a clue–he wanted to become a disciple
– Nicodemus, "You may look like a rustic Galilean, Jesus, but we know You've come from God"
• a statement, not a question – but he leaves it hanging in the air
– the implied question: "Obviously You're from God, so what is You're message?"
Why did Jesus say, ". . .unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God"?
We assume we know why – because born again is synonymous with Christian conversion
– but Jesus did not put entire weight of salvation on this term
• itinerant preachers, tent revivalists, and evangelists made it central the central vocabulary of salvation
• Jesus never said to the crowds, "You must be born again" – he said it to only one person, Nicodemus
We can't see how we've let the air out of born again
– we've used it in ways Jesus never meant
• as a litmus test – "I'm a Christian" — "Yes, but are you born again?"
• we've dragged it into the media, politics, and ugly religion
Born again is a metaphor that Jesus used this one time
– he used many metaphors – he chose them according to the context
• for example, two times he offered people "living water" (i.e., the Holy Spirit), once by a well and once in temple on a feast day that involved purifications and perhaps pouring out jars of water in the temple courts
– if we're going to recover the meaning of born again, we'll have to rediscover its dynamic
Remember, we're not looking for the theological answer to our question, but a personal answer
Why did Jesus say that?
– we want to look inside the Lord's heart for the answer
• we're using the question to get to know Jesus better
Jesus was baiting Nicodemus
This is a recurring pattern in John
– Jesus says something that confuses people – they question his statement – he clarifies it and in doing so reveals a truth
I think Jesus has several reasons for making this statement
- He wanted to keep the conversation going
– he wants to draw Nicodemus deeper into the truth and the experience of God
- "Jesus knew what was in man" (2:25)
– he knew that he faced a big challenge with Nicodemus
• that his religion, and his education, and his status would get in the way
- He wanted Nicodemus to see the difference between religion as he knew it and the way God intended it
– the Pharisees did religion by the book, but that did not produce new life
– Jesus divided religion in two: human and divine, flesh and spirit, earth and heaven (v. 13)
– he wanted Nicodemus to see where he was in relation to the two
• and that he could not get there from here
- He wanted for Nicodemus to truly know God and have eternal life
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" Jn. 17:3
– religion no longer had to be achievement of his own dead heart
– a new life would be working in him that he'd recognize as the Holy Spirit
• that this is exactly what his scriptures had been pointing to
"Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances" Eze. 36:26-27
– if Nicodemus would only be born again, everything would be new
• even the tired old religion he had worn on his back for so long• the law would come alive to him
○ not as commandments engraved in breathless, cold stone
○ but as something living in his heart, a part of him, his own
– this can happen to us, and when it does, we recognize it as the very thing we've been waiting for our whole lives
• when we come alive, so do scriptures, songs, liturgy — even all the old stuff that seemed boring and tedious
- Jesus wanted Nicodemus
Nicodemus asked Jesus two "how" questions
The first was a reaction to taking Jesus' words literally
– Jesus isn't saying the Spirit is like the wind
• they took that for granted – they used same word for both wind and spirit
– he says everyone who is "born of the Spirit" is like the wind
I want to stress the words, "you do not know"
– we cannot map this out intellectually, can't produce a method
• yet that's exactly what a lot of evangelical pamphlets attempt to do
– but born again happens at a deeper level than our intellect
• I think Jesus was trying to shock Nicodemus out of his intellect
• not information you learn, like memorizing the 10 commandments
○ it's something you experience
Remember the wealthy young man who came to Jesus
– he had always obeyed the commandments Jesus listed
– "You're missing only one thing. You've got the form of a relationship with God, but not the life"
Nicodemus' second "how question" – How can these things be?
– Jesus doesn't say, "Keep patching up the leaks in your obedience," "Keep throwing sandbags around your faith," or "Use lots of elbow grease"
– he says, the Son of Man must be "lifted up" — the cross becomes the bridge to eternal life
– in a word, Jesus was dying for Nicodemus to experience the real deal
• then it would no longer about obeying rules and believing doctrines, but about believing "in Him"
• believing in him enough to trust him with his whole self; heart, mind, and soul, and with his rebirth, and all of his "how" questions
CONC: Why did Jesus say any of this? Or all of this?
Three words: know – life – Spirit
He wanted Nicodemus to know God and have the life of God through His Spirit
– in the Book of Acts, the indication someone has come into God, is we are told they receive the Spirit of God
Jesus knew that Nicodemus could have become hardened by his religion
– that it would be a shell around him resisting the Spirit
– it happens all the time
Helmut Thielicke, "Others reject it emphatically. They do not want anything that gets under their skin and goes to their heart. They want to remain masters of their own heart and regard God as a foreign-occupation power on their territory."
– but religion that's about you and up to you doesn't get you to God
– new life doesn't come through a religion that starts and ends with you
There has to be a surrender of our genius, our energy, our plan
We come to life in God by his Spirit
– and even if we have received the Spirit,
we need to receive him again
and again
and again, and again, and again

Last week, as most of us wrestling fans were shocked to hear about the recent tragedy of the Ultimate Warrior, here in Milwaukee, on the same day, the local media lost two well knowns in the game.
First: I want to acknowledge the work of Jammin' 98.3. They have been a good way with the old school hits combining with the new music that is out there in merging the two worlds. I listen to the personalities of Andrea Williams who happens to be a former cheerleader of the Milwaukee Bucks, and also Earl Stokes who like me is an alum of John Marshall High School. But the difference is, he's an 80's alum. Every day during the week he comes out the 3:00pm ROLL CALL!!!!! And many on Social Media chime in from work to see where they are checking in from. And also usually, they call into check in as usual. No question, WJMR does do it old school and new school for enjoyment. Not a problem. However, this past week was about one person: Michael Hightower. For 14 years, he graced his voice during the segment of Moments in Love on the radio, in regarding about relationships and songs of the slow jams that went along with it. He was a main attraction in which the female listeners of the city call in and try to get some advice. Michael's voice and expertise was like a lifeline for those looking for answers in looking for love per say. Sadly, his streak of 14 years came to an end at 58 years old. The station manager, Lauri Jones had a statement to say in regarding Michael's death:
It's with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that I share this news. A member of our Jammin' 98.3 family has passed away. Michael Hightower, host of Moments in Love for the past 14 years, has passed. He will be dearly missed. I know you'll join us in praying for his family.
As of right now, the causes of his death is not known as of yet. But as of right now, the community is asked to be in prayer for the family of Michael Hightower. He was brew city born, and his career spanned from Oklahoma doing radio and TV, and of course here in Milwaukee working at other radio stations. He shined the most with Jammin' 98.3 and had been a mainstay since. Not only Michael made an impact on the ladies looking for love per say, word also he made opportunity to get black men to get their bootstraps on for career and also life.
The other death: the legendary of the Milwaukee TV, Carl Zimmerman. If you were and are a life long Channel 6 TV viewer and fan, you had many greats from Tom Hooper, to Vince Gibbens. But Carl Zimmerman according to the historians per say was known as the Silver Fox, or the dean of Milwaukee news. He wasn't always a regular newscaster, but also he was a good editorial person in commenting about his viewpoints on the city and many other concerns. We know that Ted Perry does "Ted's Take", but before that, Carl Zimmerman was doing his own spin on his remarks of the community. Carl was locally born, he was a graduate of South Division High School from the class of 1937, a graduate of UW-Milwaukee (that's University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to most of you) he also served in the military in the U.S. Army as a War Correspondent during the Korean War. Then, he was known as Captain Carl Zimmerman. Mostly after that, Carl was in the business in terms of television, when he was hired by WITI back in the mid-50's, the station was young. Very young. He was assigned for the anchorman and also as most know, the editorials. Those editorials he did were a pavement to say as opininonated pieces. Now there are those who might say, did he recommended others to work in news? Yes he did. Ask Jill Geisler, even ask Joanne Williams (a black woman mind you) who were one of the first women reporters to be hired by WITI back when I was still playing with robot toys in the 80's. Even after retirement, Carl Zimmerman was one of the legends that stood around. Even was taking an Honor Flight for U.S. Vetarans of WWII. This week, like Michael Hightower, Carl ran his race for 96 years of life. But most of it, was doing news for over 5 decades.
Just a updated notice on Michael Hightower: it was announced that his Public Memorial Service will be held on April 21st at Greater New Birth Church.
