October 19, 1999
UCSB Men's Hoops Exhibition Season Starts November 7
Oct. 19, 1999
First Things First
The UC Santa Barbara men's basketball team opened practice Saturday, October 16 with 13 active players. The Gauchos will open the exhibition season November 7 with game a 3:00 p.m. game against the Mount Gambier Pioneers of Australia. The regular season will open on November 20 at home against Stanford.
Bell Sidelined As Practice Opens
Point guard Larry Bell, who led the Gauchos in assists last season, opened practice Saturday with a cast on his right foot. Bell is sidelined after surgery to repair a broken bone. He injured the foot October 1 and had surgery October 7. Unless something unexpected occurs, the senior from Compton should be sidelined about six weeks. Bell is expected to begin swimming and riding a stationary bicycle possibly as early as next week. After a slow start last season, Bell became a permanent starter at midseason and wound up as the team's leader in assists (4.3 per game) and one of its best defensive players.
Williams Returns For Second Season
Bob Williams returns for his second season as head coach of the Gauchos. Last year he guided the Gauchos to a 15-13 overall record and an outstanding 12-4 mark in Big West play. After guiding the squad to the league's Western Division championship, Williams was selected Big West Coach of the Year and National Association of Basketball Coaches District 15 Coach of the Year. Williams will enter the season, his 12th as a head coach, with a career record of 204-113. His teams have won either a league, division or National Championship in five straight seasons.
Backcourt Returnees Lead The Way
When Larry Bell does return from injury, the Gauchos will have virtually their entire backcourt back from last season. In addition to Bell, UCSB returns starters Derrick Allen and Erick Ashe. Allen, who played both the point and a wing spot last season, will be permanently entrenched at the point until Bell's return. There is no slippage with Allen at the point. Last season, he averaged 6.7 points, 4.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds and a Big West-leading 2.4 steals per game. Ashe is UCSB's top returning scorer at 10.6 points per game. He also averaged 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals per contest. In addition to the trio of starters, the Gauchos return junior Brandon Payton who came off the bench for most of last season and averaged 9.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.
Ndiaye The Lone Frontcourt Returnee
Junior Adama Ndiaye is the only frontcourt returnee for the Gauchos. While his season was hampered by a "lower abdominal" injury, he played in 23 games averaging 3.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. He also led the Gauchos and was among the Big West leaders in blocked shots with 25 (1.1 per game). This year he returns with about 25 more pounds on his 6-foot-9 frame. Additionally, he spent the summer at a pair of big man camps that the coaching staff hopes will pay off.
The Redshirts Are Coming! The Redshirts Are Coming!
In addition to five returnees from last year's active roster, the Gauchos will welcome four players that redshirted last season. Sophomore Mike Vukovich played as a freshman two years ago. The 6-foot-9 Vukovich averaged 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 1997-98. Junior Ross Carmichael, a 6-foot-9 transfer from Texas Tech, will not become eligible until the end of the Fall Quarter, but he started 12 of 27 games as a sophomore for the Red Raiders and averaged 3.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. He should play a key role for the Gauchos. Freshmen Mark Hull (Hoover HS in Glendale, CA) and Eric Hare (McKinney HS in McKinney, TX) will also be added to the mix. the 6-foot-7 Hull will play a wing position and the 6-foot-5 Hare will play at the four spot.
JC Transfers To Fill The Gaps
The Gaucho coaching staff will also plug in a pair of junior college transfers to fill the gaps left by departed players. Juliano Jordani, a 6-foot-7 forward out of the College of Southern Idaho, is big and tough and an outstanding outside shooter who will compete for playing time at the four spot. LaRon Bryant, a long-distance shooting specialist out of American River College, will be particularly important during the absence of Larry Bell.

EEC regulations for family, small group and school age and large group and school age child care programs require families to provide evidence that the child has been successfully immunized according to the Department of Public Health's current recommended schedule and has had a complete physical examination within the last twelve months 1. See 606 CMR 7.04(7)(a)(13).
Families of children enrolled must provide documentation regarding immunization at the time of the child's admission into the child care program and have up to one month from the time of admission to submit documentation of the required physical examination. 1
Children from a homeless, teen parent or supportive family may have difficulty obtaining medical records at the time of admission into a child care program because of the stresses and disorganization caused by issues affecting these priority populations. Accordingly, a Licensee will allow a family from a priority population up to six (6) months from the date of their child's admission into a child care program to obtain the child's medical records. All other record requirements, as specified in EEC regulations, remain unchanged.
If the Department of Public Health issues a health advisory impacting children in care, the program must give precedence to the advisory over this policy especially for those children who may not have evidence of up-to-date immunizations.
1 For school age children, parents may submit a written statement that the required information is on file at the child's school.

Workshop News : Opening plaques
David Cameron unveils stone obelisk
Last month I was commissioned to make a stone obeslisk for Shipton under Wychwood to mark the opening of their new playground. This was to be unveiled by the Right Honorable David Cameron MP. In this case I started with a small riven slate obelisk and I had to fit the inscription to the piece of stone. The lettering needed to be cut deeply and clearly to show up against the riven slate background, and the format and style was meant to be playful rather than overly formal to reflect the site. In full sunlight the lettering reads very clearly without the need to be painted.

Agreement Provides Solid Wage, Benefit Improvements, Caps Health Care Costs
SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, Pa., July 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Penn State University employees have reached a tentative contract agreement with the university which will continue to give the 2,500 members of Teamsters Local 8 economic and job stability, the union announced today.
"The tentative agreement provides guaranteed wage increases while capping the employees' costs for health care coverage," said Jon Light, President of Teamsters Local 8 in State College, which represents about 2,500 members at Penn State. "The tentative agreement also includes improved procedures to address issues involving worker misclassification."
Today's announcement took place during a news conference with Penn State workers, their supporters and Teamster representatives, before the start of a meeting of the university's Board of Trustees.
Kathy Cox, a food services worker at Penn State-University Park, read a letter from Local 8 to the Board of Trustees, praising the tentative agreement.
"The agreement provides economic stability for the university, our members, their families and the communities where they live," Cox said. "The results of our contract negotiations should stand as an example to all, that when we come together for the greater good, much can be accomplished."

While the Irish are away from Campus this weekend, another popular team was wowing hockey fans at Notre Dame Saturday.
The 2013 Stanley Cup Champs were in town and Blackhawks fans from all over the Midwest packed the Compton Ice Arena to see the team in training camp.
The Hawks have been here since Wednesday, but Saturday was the first public practice for the team.
Chicago currently has a one year deal with Notre Dame, but fans are hoping there will be an extension in the works to make this an every year thing.
"Definitely come back. we're close to Chicago so you can get people who live there and people who live here," says fan Kristin Lewis.
Fan Stephanie Miller says, "The turnout I mean, not a lot of people can get $10 tickets and here, it's $10 admission. Sit wherever you want, first come, first serve."
The Blackhawks will host another public scrimmage on Sunday that's already sold out.

Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
3 out of 5 of them didn't even work even with their gain maxed out on the console. They are not compatible with any brain as the product description on the pulse website states. You could make these with novice soldiering skills yourself for cheaper then what they sell them for. I tried them with a Yamaha DTXpress Special IV console and they do not produce the correct voices and are atrocious to fine-tune so they don't double trigger.
Best Uses
Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
More sensitive than Pintech, more durable than d-drum redshots. Nice thick cables but the mounting collars are flimsy plastic. Need metal ones with rubber collar linings like the pintechs. Also loose after mounting but can be easliy fixed by wrapping with a little duct tape and then put collar over the tape. Used 3M double sided tape to mount, works great. Was skeptical but for the money, these are awesome. They adjust, modular wise, just like any other trigger but with better accuracy in my opinion.
Best Uses
Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
I bought these triggers to convert my acoustic drums into an electronic hybrid (DM-5). I used pearl mesh heads and placed the trigger about 1" in from 1200. So far I have been impressed with the simplicity and durability of the design. The trigger seems to be holding on just fine using the included 3M tape. I currently only have the snare drum set up (the most difficult drum by far to get the settings correct) and am pretty happy with the results...next up is to test the triggers with muted cymbals...if you have a DM-5 and are considering building a similar set-up, here is what I used to get the snare where I wanted it:
XTalk 80, Dec 15, Noise 39, Gain 74, Vcurve 4
Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
Overall, I give these triggers a 9 because they are so bare. However, the lack of protective housing is easily resolved with smart placement. Triggers are very responsive to light hits and dynamics. If I had to get more triggers, I would definitely be happy to purchase more of these.
I bought these triggers to convert my acoustic kit, but didn't want to spend more money to do the same thing. Although the triggers are stuck on the drum heads with double stick tape, they seem very responsive. I was surprised to see the responsiveness when I first played my "new kit." The dynamic response was much more impressive than I had expected.
Very glad I didn't spend more money.
I give quality a 7 because these triggers are very bare bones. I am not a fan of the fact that you use double stick tape to attach the triggers to the heads, but it seems to be doing alright. And as there is no protective housing, I had to place the triggers on the far edge of the head, away from my main playing surface. I was concerned this would affect the responsiveness, but the triggers pick up most of my hits with the exception of the lightest hits. These triggers were a big surprise. Very happy.
These triggers are a great value. I was looking at another set of triggers, at double the price, but am glad I picked these. Basically, if I bought the other triggers, I would have been paying $50 for a protective metal housing on each trigger.
Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
I have only been using the kick drum trigger hooked up to a DM5 module and after playing with the settings it has been working like a charm and doing what it is supposed to do. I placed the trigger on the inside of the batter head right in between where my double pedal batters hit. Then added some duct tape to secure the trigger in place. May not be the best choice for a traveling musician but for a hobbyist like myself you can't beat the price.
Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
They're great triggers and very reliable once you get them to stay on. The tape they send with them is worthless. I super glued mine to the heads then put duck tape over them and they've worked like a charm since. Very responsive and won't break easily like most other triggers do.
Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
There's nothing fancy about these triggers, but when used correctly they work perfectly fine. You might have to take care with your setup, and tweak your drum module. Once you get it right, they do what they're supposed to at a bargain basement price.
Comments about Pulse TK-5 Acoustic Trigger 5-Piece Set:
They simply dont work -plain as that. Dont even think about buying them. I bought two packs of these to trigger my 10 piece tama superstar, and they didnt even trigger... at all. You also have to buy double stick tape for them, and they fall off after you hit the drum. then, if you can finally get the damn things to stick, they don't work. You will get a massive amount of crosstalk, and absolutely no triggering from the drum its supposed to work for! Just go with the high end ddrum triggers instead, they cost more, but they work, and are worth it. You dont want to spend hundreds of dollars on cables, modules, and pa amps just to find out that it is all useless cause your triggers dont work.

When it comes to blatant bullying, everyone can agree it's not acceptable. However, there's also a line at which I think many question if we've become too quick to call every little slight or slam bullying. Isn't some of it just kids being kids, "sticks and stones" and all of that? Don't kids need to learn to grow a thicker skin?
Perhaps in some cases, but a powerful spoken word poem and accompanying video that's gone viral recently really puts into perspective just how harmful some of those "little" incidents can be. It's from Shane Koyczan, who has launched the "To This Day Project" with a mission to explore the impact bullying can have on kids for life.
Posted just two days ago, the haunting and powerful video has already been viewed more than 1.1 million times. I'll warn you that it's not easy to watch, but it's something everyone should see -- parents, children, educators, and anyone who has ever been bullied.
It starts with Koyczan talking about how he was called names as a child ("pork chop," specifically), then touches on the stories of several others who were bullied as children, including a girl who had a sign that read "Beware of Dog" taped to her desk by children in the third grade. It illustrates how the devastating effects of those incidents still haunt them as adults today.
While kids may always be kids, it doesn't mean that we should tolerate them being cruel to one another ever. We have to work harder to teach them that hurting someone with words is just as bad as hurting them physically -- sometimes even worse. A new study confirms that people who were bullied as kids are at risk for a whole slew of problems in their lives, such as suicide, anxiety, and depression.
We've got to put a stop this. There are so many things we can't control that harm our children, like cancer and disease, but this is something we as a society can change. We just have to try harder. Start by watching this video and sharing it with those you know.
What do you think of this video?
Image via YouTube
When I was in 4th grade I learned how to not take insults and negative judgments of me personally (by having the attitude that those who judge and insult others lack self-esteem/self-worth [they feel small]... and putting others down makes them feel as though they are bigger than those that they insult and/or judge negatively. What they say is not the truth about who I am but rather an expression of who they are: negative and judgmental. As such there is no good reason for me to be insulted by people who are so negative towards others and feel so low in life that the only way they can figure out how to better themselves [based on their own view rather than from an objective view of who they are] is by insulting others. Instead, understanding that allowed me to feel compassion for those who lack the knowledge and ability to be able to take control over their own life in a positive way.) and wished that I had been taught that at a much earlier age as that significantly reduced the amount of stress that I experienced from then on.
This video is attention-grabbing (and it should help bring up the topic of bullying and treating others with respect) but it also strongly expresses the "I am a victim" attitude that people can largely learn to overcome (as I described above) which allows them to take control over their own life rather than be controlled (or victimized) by others.
Honestly, I cried. "Despite a loving husband, she doesn't think she is beautiful" Really got me. Though I may not have a birth mark that covers half my face, I'm overweight. I have been since a child. Doctors can't explain why I gained so much weight except maybe because when I was 4-5 I had pneumonia, the steroids they gave me may have caused it. But in school, everyone called me fat. Even a girl who was 3x bigger than me (Width wise) Yet nobody made fun of her... No matter what you tell yourself "Sticks and stones" Or "they just have low self-esteem" The words they say stay with you forever. You may not actively remember day to day, but it takes only one thing to bring it all back to the surface and suffer through it all over again. I have anxiety, depression, and because everyone always told me things (that may have not been true about me) Like being "stupid, or ugly" It latched itself to me and I cannot get it off. It whispers in my ear these things, over and over, though my rational mind tries to ignore it, it gets louder, and when everything around me is silent I begin to think "Is it really true?"
I still see myself as less than nothing. I am not amazing and wonderful. My kids and my husband look at me and see beauty. The only things I see that I did right was my kids. They are my beauty and grace and wonder. I was abused when I was little. Told at home and school I was nothing. It is hard not to believe it when you are told that for years.
All those asking why the kids who were bullied committed suicide when you didn't, there was probably more that they went through than just bullying at school and from kids. Adults can be cruel too. Even if they had the best parents, some teachers bully kids, strangers and other family members too. Maybe they were bore sensitive. If you bullied my 7 year old it would hurt her feelings and she would probably beat you up when she got done crying, but her sister who is 6 would take those words and believe them and cry and do self destructive things because she would just know she was ugly, bad, stupid. None of those things are true but she would not be able to believe that even if I told her if say a teacher or one of our family friends told her she was.
Bullying is a major problem in this world. It is hard to fight and hard to stop but if we all teach our children to stand up for not only themselves but others then we will teach them to make this world a better place.
reality_check: it's like you've read my mind.
I've watched this video several times and that lines get me every time too: "Despite a loving husband, she doesn't think she is beautiful". I was told I wasn't pretty by family members. I was told I needed to lose weight. I was only called beautiful when I dressed up in something that just wasn't me (pageant dress (once) and then wasn't told when I wore the same dress for high school prom---because I wasn't wearing the same pageanty make up)....and that was all close family. It's rough. I was always picked on because of my voice (it's deeper than most girls). I've been made fun of because I have always been put in leadership roles and I'm strict...even now as a teacher I am (even though I teach PreK). I am still teased for that from co-workers. It's a constant reminding of 'these aren't bad traits...you are a great person'. I don't have diagnosed depression, anxiety or any thing else. BUT it doesn't mean I don't think about everything I have been told through my life...all the time.
I teach my daughter just not to take things seriously and I talk to her everyday,if you ignorw your kids of course they are going to be afraid to say anything.
I was bullied in middle school through high school, but what I had that was different from most was an amazing family. My mom sat and held me while I cried night after night even though I wouldn't tell her exactly what was going on. My parents never let a day go by without making sure I knew I was loved and I was important. I cut for a long time and I wished I was dead several times, but eventually the voices of those who loved me became louder than those who didn't and I started to believe them rather than the haters. YOU can be that for your child. Maybe you can't stop it from happening when they're at school, but you CAN counteract that terrible message. And one amazing thing happens when your child begins to love him- or herself: THEY become that voice to other kids who don't have it at home.
Glad to see so many of you totally missed the point of his video. Yep, it sure is lovely that you felt you managed to ignore other people, but not everyone gets to. And for those who don't understand how bullying can lead to suicide- there's often an underlying problem, depression or bipolar disorder or another equally as vicious mental illness. When you're in that spiral you will believe anything that is said to you. You do feel worthless, and you do feel as though the world would be a better place without you, and as though everyone would be able to be happier without you.
eupeptic, sometimes you are a victim. If you are bullied, then YOU ARE A DAMN VICTIM.

On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher, regaining much of their losses from yesterday, after GDP data showed the U.S. economy grew at its fastest pace in more than 2 years during the second quarter. Also helping improve sentiment was the significant earnings beat from Dow member Nike (NKE). ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., second quarter real GDP growth was revised up to 4.6% in the government's third estimate. This was raised from the prior 4.2% growth estimate, though the upward revision had been expected by analysts. The final University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for September came in at 84.6, which was unchanged from the preliminary print but up from the final August reading of 82.5. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Nike climbed $9.75, or 12.23%, to $89.50 after the company reported stronger than expected results and provided better than expected profit guidance. Following last night's report, a number of analysts reacted positively in notes this morning, including Janney Capital, which upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral. Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank upgraded Under Armour (UA) to Buy, citing continued sector strength evidenced in Nike's results. Under Armour gained $2.27, or 3.36%, to $69.82 following the report from the industry leader and Deutsche's ratings action. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Janus Capital (JNS), which surged $4.60, or 41.43%, to $15.72 after the company unexpectedly announced that "Bond King" Bill Gross, formerly of PIMCO, will join as a fund manager this Monday. Afterward, Citigroup upgraded Janus to Neutral from Sell, citing Gross' hiring. Also higher was Yahoo (YHOO), which jumped $1.71, or 4.39%, to $40.66 after activist investor Starboard Value announced it has acquired a significant ownership stake in the company and urged it to explore a strategic combination with AOL (AOL). Shares of AOL also rose $1.58, or 3.68%, to $44.55 following Starboard's public disclosure of its recommendation to Yahoo. Among the noteworthy losers was Finish Line (FINL), which was left out of the Nike-fueled rally in the sneaker sector and fell $4.30, or 14.62%, to $25.11 after the company reported second quarter earnings and revenue that missed expectations. Following Finish Line's Q2 report, the stock and peer Foot Locker (FL) were both downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Also lower were shares of AcelRx (ACRX), which fell $1.31, or 19.49%, to $5.41 and was downgraded to Neutral at Roth Capital after the company said it has to resubmit for FDA approval of its Zalviso drug. INDEXES: The Dow advanced 167.35, or 0.99%, to 17,113.15, the Nasdaq gained 45.45, or 1.02%, to 4,512.19, and the S&P 500 rose 16.86, or 0.86%, to 1,982.85.

You may have seen that bumper sticker that says, "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as quickly as I could!"
Well, I WAS born here, but it took me more than 20 years to make my way back! This job has brought me full circle. Back to Fort Worth where my mom and dad started their life together. They lived in a little duplex on Forest Park Boulevard. She was working at Harris Methodist Hospital. He was getting his PhD in chemistry at TCU.
I've lived in Delaware, Ohio, Montana and Michigan.
Now, Texas is home to my family. That includes the two little Texans born here - my son and daughter!
I've been at Fox 4 since 1999. My first couple of years were defined by the Wedgewood Church shooting and the Fort Worth tornado of 2000. I'll never forget the pain, the hurt and the destruction I saw. But what's most vivid in my memory is what happened after those events. How people pulled together. How resilient, warm and loving North Texans are.
I spend most of my time working in Tarrant County, from Sanger to Mansfield, Weatherford to Arlington.

Kanye West + Raekwon +...Justin Bieber?!
Justin Bieber and Kanye West spent part of last weekend in a Twittery lovefest, complimenting each other's work and eventually waxing about a potential collaboration between themselves and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon.
Now, the speculation is a reality. "It's definitely gonna happen," Raekwon tells XXLMag.com. "When you got these kinda talents merging together to do something exciting, I think it's something that's gonna make the fans check it out. I'm big fans of both of these guys. I think, at the end of the day, shorty is a sensation."
He added, "For them to even just have a conversation and just put my name in it it feels good. For him to acknowledge me it makes me feel good that the young generation is checking me out like that."
This....is happening, like it or not. How epic will it be? Guess time will tell when it's released. I can promise this song will dominate the charts though when it's released.

Today, about half of the vehicles in the United States are parked at overnight locations with access to plugs, providing a great foundation for the country's plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging infrastructure. However, employers across the country are beginning to offer charging access in workplace lots, which serve as the next most-likely place a vehicle will spend time parked. In fact, the ability to charge at work can potentially double a PEV driver's all-electric daily commuting range. This untapped resource presents a significant opportunity to expand the country's PEV charging infrastructure.
To support the deployment of this infrastructure, DOE has launched the Workplace Charging Challenge, with a goal of achieving a tenfold increase in the number of U.S. employers offering workplace charging in the next five years.
As part of the Workplace Charging Challenge, DOE is calling on America's employers to sign the Workplace Charging Challenge Pledge as "Partners" to make a bold commitment to provide PEV charging access to their workforce. The Pledge also enlists stakeholder organizations as "Ambassadors" to promote and facilitate workplace charging.
Partners who sign the Workplace Charging Pledge will:
- Commit to assessing employee charging demand and developing a plan to install charging stations. Partner plans will include milestones for charging infrastructure installation with a minimum goal of provision of charging for a portion of PEV-driving employees at one or more major employer worksites, and a best practice goal of assessing and meeting all PEV-driving employee demand.
- Take action by implementing a plan to install charging stations for their employees.
- Share progress on achieving plan milestones over time, as well as best practices.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This column is part of the call to prayer issued by Frank S. Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee, to pray for revival and spiritual awakening for our churches, our nation and our world.
NASHVILLE (BP) -- The Bible is filled with references to the prayers and fasting of God's people. In Matthew 6, Jesus placed fasting on the same level as praying and giving. He said, "When you fast! When you pray! When you give!"
I wonder why Christians today and churches in our generation don't place fasting on the same level as praying and giving? Jesus, by His example and His teaching, demonstrated that prayer and fasting are important and integral ingredients in the lives of His followers.
Fasting and love
One purpose of prayer and fasting is to bring our hearts to a place of being filled with a sacrificial love that results in godly attitudes in our lives. True fasting will draw us closer to God and His purposes.
Fasting and humility
I can't explain why God has chosen prayer and fasting as the gateway to supernatural power. One thing I do know: Scripture, prayer, and fasting are the ways believers humble themselves in the sight of the Lord. When we humble ourselves, He promises to exalt and lift us up at the appropriate time (1 Peter 5:6; James 4:10). God also indicates that He will resist the proud, but give grace to the humble (James 4:6). Again, 2 Chronicles 7:14 indicates the importance of humbling ourselves before God.
Fasting and focus
Fasting brings a sharp focus to the dramatic difference between our physical and spiritual natures. Eating is one of the most fundamental things we do as physical beings. One of the most natural desires is for food. Without proper nourishment we die. By exercising our wills and depriving ourselves of food for spiritual purposes, we acknowledge our spiritual natures and honor our Creator-Father. When we deny the natural for the purpose of calling upon God to do the supernatural, He will enable and empower us to experience the supernatural.
Fasting and worship
Through fasting, we confirm the words uttered by Jesus in the face of temptation during His forty-day fast: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). Through prayer and fasting we forsake our own physical needs and the creature comforts of this world and call upon God as the Originator, Giver, Source and Sustainer of all life, especially our own. We exalt Him as our hope and salvation. True spiritual fasting will result in submission and devotion to God.
God blesses when we fast and
Fasting allows us to:
-- Focus on Him and honor Him. Although you will receive spiritual blessings when you fast, these are not the proper motives for fasting.
-- Have spiritual purposes. Although you may realize certain physical benefits, these are not the proper motives for spiritual fasting (for example, weight-loss purposes).
-- Humble ourselves and submit to the authority of God and His Word.
-- Acknowledge and repent of sin.
-- Deprive our natural desires and lusts to focus on the spiritual.
A final observation
Even when we honor God by praying and fasting, this does not mean that our heavenly Father will grant everything on our wish-and-whim list. God will only work and bless in ways that are consistent and in harmony with His will and purpose.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Two stars of the 1980 comedy film "Airplane" will be in a Wisconsin tourism ad to be unveiled next spring.
Actor Robert Hays and basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will appear in the original cockpit from the movie, with aerial footage of Wisconsin mixed in.
This is not the first Wisconsin tourism ad in which Hays has appeared. He portrayed a confused fisherman in his first ad.
The new one was shot earlier this month by directors David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams. It will be unveiled at next year's Governor's Conference on Tourism in March.
Jerry Zucker, Hays, and Abdul-Jabbar will appear there.
This is the first time Hays and Abdul-Jabbar have reunited since they made the movie. Abdul-Jabbar played for the Milwaukee Bucks before achieving Hall of Fame stardom with the L.A. Lakers

The Transcendental Engineers: The Fictional Origins of a Modern Religion
This thesis deals with science fiction and its manifestations as a force in popular culture. To be specific, I discuss science fiction and its symbolic connections with the recently formed 'cult' known as the Church of Scientology. Scientology was created by a former science fiction writer, L. Ron Hubbard, who uses a great deal of science fiction imagery in church doctrine.
Essentially, this study is an example of "processual symbology"; how ideas and symbols can be manipulated by relevant persons, changing the meanings of the symbols and altering any behavior surrounding those symbols. In this case we examine how ideas and themes in a fictional setting can become transformed into religious doctrine.
Science fiction has avid followers known as "fans"; intense fans often spend the greater part of their energies pursuing their interest in science fiction. It is established in the thesis that fans subscribe to a science fiction ideology which in turn Scientology borrows from.
Science fiction fandom and Scientology in the earlier form of Dianetics existed in a common cultural underground of rejected occult knowledge known as the "cultic milieu". Tracing the history of the Scientology movement, we see how the organization grew into a large bureaucracy, socially distant from science fiction but still exploiting its fantastic imagery. In addition I discuss other minor cultic events generated by science fiction.
In conclusion, I mention the possible implications science fiction and groups like Scientology have on contemporary society. Also I use the utopian orientation of Scientology's doctrine to question the merit of grand utopian schemes in general and how these ideologies can affect those of us outside cultic movements.

Wine, schmine. It's all the same, isn't it? I mean, it's just a beverage ... right?
Well, it probably is if you're buying it at Costco. CNBC just did a profile of the retail giant and interviewed the wine buyer, Annette Alvarez-Peters. And as far as she cares, wine isn't any more special than toilet paper. That holy glow around wine, the notion that you need some sort of expertise to understand it? Meh.
Alvarez-Peters: "Is it more special than clothing, is it more special than televisions? I don't think so."
CNBC's Carl Quintanilla: "Certainly it's different than toilet paper? Or different that tin foil?"
Alvarez-Peters: "Why?"
Quintanilla: "Because it's personal."
Alvarez-Peters: "People can look at it that way. But at the end of the day, it's a beverage."
Keep in mind, not only does Costco sell a billion dollars worth of wine a year, it also influences prices for smaller wine shops all over the country. And before Alvarez-Peters was buying wine, she was a buyer for the automotive department.
So okay. It's true. Wine is ultimately just a beverage. But I still want to buy it from somone who knows what they're doing. Because when I buy a bottle of wine, I'm not just buying something to wash down the pork roast. I could do that with a glass of water. We buy wine on the weekends only, and it's kind of special. Or anyway, we want it to be.
You don't have to be fancy to educate yourself about wine. And not all "good" wines are super expensive. But it does take some patience and focus. If you're really paying attention, you'll pick up on the wonderful ways different wines are unique. That's why we like buying wine from our neighborhood shop -- because the owner cares enough.
But whatever. If you're into volume and think stuff like Yellowtail Shiraz is just dandy, then Costco is perfect. I'm sure Alvarez-Peters is looking at the top sellers and filling the store with that. And as a retailer, I guess there's nothing wrong with that. But it's kind of sad that this probably means your chances of finding a low-priced gem, something special or unique, at Costco are probably nil. And my goodness, I definitely hope Alvarez-Peters is more excited about wine than she appears to be here. Because that would be a thrilling job for a real wine lover.
Where do you buy your wine? Do you think it matters where you get it?
Image via CNBC
Maybe she should go back to selling automotive parts... because she obviously does not understand the art of wine buying. This is an example of a person not doing their job to the fullest- just running off to costco and buying what she can. Lazy.
Why would a wine aficionado buy wine at a warehouse store, anyway? Seriously. If you care about wine, don't buy it from Costco!
What an obnoxious, self-important snob you are.
her outlook doesn't prevent you from purchasing wine the way you want. They are a warehouse store, they offer products at a discount. with wine much of 'quality' is personal taste and fashion.
I can't drink wine (migraine trigger), therefore I never bothered to learn much about it. But really..."But it's kind of sad that this probably means your chances of finding a low-priced gem, something special or unique, at Costco are probably nil" Even before this woman was their wine buyer, was this even possible? Honestly, wine afficionado's aren't chomping at the bit to see what's new and exciting in wine at Costco this week. Even I know that!
Well I dont drink one but I would probably would just by it at the grocerystore

MAC address has nothing to do with the fact you have a PC. Read and calm down. =)
Drakkenfyre said...
One of the stupidest things I have ever seen was on the Nintendo Wii technical help message board. It was the official board, and it used players to answer other players questions.
Someone asked about the possibility of the Wii getting a virus, using the web browser, and surfing the internet. Someone replied and said the Nintendo Wii used a MAC address, and Macs didn't get viruses, so you didn't have to worry about it.
I know it was probably a kid, but still, I couldn't believe the level of "what the hell?" of that.

Don't Poop on Kimberly Powell's Carpet or She May Slap You to Death like She did to her 15-Month-Old Granddaughter, Amber Enard!
By LadyJustice
Denver, Colorado-Police have now released Kimberly Powell, the grandmother that allegedly beat her granddaughter to death, pending further autopsy results. The release came the SAME DAY she was arrested for the investigation of child abuse resulting in the death of her 15-month-old granddaughter, Amber Enard. Amber died in a horribly violent way on August 3, 2011 at the hands of her own 48-year-old grandmother police say. What the little girl went through was pure hell. (more…)

Not only did she invade Fairrin's home, she found that pesky little 3-year-old locked safely away in the closet. (more…)

ThinkGoat's medical theory: disturbances caused by breaking the skull affect other body parts. See? I don't even have to be a resident physician to pull that shit out of my ass. Nor do I need to be a doctor to be certain a bullmastiff didn't cause three to four skull fractures and tears to the vagina and anus of a 13-month-old baby girl.
Heather Ator Finds Herself a New Chew Toy
By ThinkGoat
Pittsfield, Illinois Some children are just dealt a shitty hand from the get-go. When some children should be off playing with other children, riding their bikes, climbing trees, they're left having to worry about raising their parents. When some toddlers should be learning to walk, learning to talk, getting weaned from a bottle or pacifier, they're instead having to teach their parents lessons on behavioral issues like: it's not nice to bite. And society doesn't look fondly on any parent who can't seem to recognize their own need for a chew toy and instead uses the flesh of their children to satisfy the urge to gnaw. (more…)

NEW YORK — Kid Rock, who is launching a summer tour where most tickets are priced at $20, said he's scalping about 1,000 tickets from each show to make up for the cheaper regular price. Kid Rock's extreme ticket pricing is leading a change in tours where scalpers play a major role as the marketplace for secondary sources for tickets continues to grow, especially in a summer when key acts like The Rolling Stones, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are on the road.
