Politics and the English Language →
What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way around. In prose, the worst thing one can do with words is surrender to them. When you think of a concrete object, you think wordlessly, and then, if you want to describe the thing you have been visualising you probably hunt about until you find the exact words that seem to fit it. When you think of something abstract you are more inclined to use words from the start, and unless you make a conscious effort to prevent it, the existing dialect will come rushing in and do the job for you, at the expense of blurring or even changing your meaning.
I must do this more.
Our experience of the Spirit →
Matthew Hosier has written a helpful article reflecting on the 1994 Toronto Blessing / PMOTS ('present move of the Spirit'). He explores the extent to which our experiences of the Holy Spirit are culturally mediated, and goes on to relate this to current UK movements that identify 1994 in their roots:
The danger in my pointing this out is that I will be accused of claiming these experiences are 'merely cultural'. Not at all. Rather, that we need to be wise in distinguishing what is from God, what is deception, what is imperative, what indicative, and what is our culturally mediated response.
Twenty years on, I'm not sure I have an adequate answer to the question '1994 – What was that all about?' I believe God was in it, but that there were excesses, and that the form PMOTS took reflected other cultural trends evident in western society at the time.
I don't think the point here is to question the degree to which our experience of the Spirit is 'genuine', but to recognise that the way we experience the Spirit's work in our lives is not done in a cultural vacuum. I'd be interested to know the degree to which moves of the Spirit break down aspects of (often church) culture that are blockers to the work of the Spirit in our lives.
The New Centre of British Evangelicalism
I'm a little bit late in reading this one but Andrew Wilson has written a fascinating article that explores the role of Holy Trinity Brompton and its associated courses, events and activities. Wilson argues that the centre of contemporary evangelicalism is increasingly becoming aligned by shared conferences, courses and choruses, rather than confessions, creeds or catechisms. Because HTB's conferences, courses and choruses are amongst the most widely used, they play a significant role in shaping UK evangelicalism in the UK and abroad.
HTB represents British evangelicalism's friendly face: biblical but not dogmatic, evangelistic but not ranty, activist but not politicised, Anglican but not really, centred rather than boundaried. Hard not to like, right? And certainly more likely to unite evangelicals, and to get favourable write-ups from cultural gatekeepers in the Telegraph or the Guardian, than the hardline confessional types. As such, if HTB represents the new centre of British evangelicalism, then nearly everybody wins.
The degree to which HTB has avoided taking a 'position' on a number of controversial contemporary issues is one that is especially close to the bone and deserves a lot more reflection. Churches that managed to hold together a diverse group of people - many of whom may disagree with one another on the hot issues of the day - are often, in my view, the stronger for it. But holding together these diverse views within church can often be in competition with the danger of appearing 'wooly' on important (if not primary) issues.
I also agree that if you wanted to meaningfully group evangelical churches together into like-minded segments
you'd get a more accurate picture if you divided them by the evangelistic course they use (Alpha for most, Christianity Explored for those who find Alpha too floaty, individualistic or charismatic, and nothing at all for the churches that aren't that fussed about preaching the gospel) than by the denominational family they come from (Anglican / Baptist / Methodist / Free).
To a degree, I think this is the evangelistic courses that churches run is a fault-line that defines what 'unity in the gospel' often looks like in local communities - especially where these courses are run jointly between churches.
Quote Of The Day: Lesslie Newbigin
Rev: so good it's dangerous →
James Mumford on the BBC comedy Rev:
But when asked why Rev is so good, the usual answer cites "an insider viewpoint" on an inner-city vicar. Which is precisely what it's not. Rev is an outsider's imaginative construction of an insider viewpoint – a secular take on the sacred...
Which is all well and good. Yet it remains an outsider's perspective. An insider view of the church would, by contrast, revolve around the reality of shared faith. From the outset, Rev's operating assumption is that faith is individual. The Rev Smallbone's prayer monologues are purely personal. Faith is not something held in common. Nor is it transformative. Which is, rightly or wrongly, what people of faith think it is. Perhaps the show's most wonderful character, the drug addict Colin, is a parishioner Adam is genuinely friends with. But there's never a question of faith freeing him from addiction.
I've really enjoyed this series of Rev. It is, at times, profound and touches on brilliance, and at others is deeply disappointing. Somehow Adam Smallbone struggles through temptation and personal doubt to do the right thing. Yet James' points are right on. Its take on the church is deeply undermining, of corporate faith that is shared between believers skin deep. The supernatural is entirely absent.
Denying the insider view denies the rich diversity of the church in England. This is both a lack of creativity and a failure of representation.
The Ad Man's Gospel →
Alastair Roberts on Rob Bell:
The ad man doesn't persuade his customer by making a carefully reasoned and developed argument, but by subtly deflecting objections, evoking feelings and impressions, and directing those feelings and harnessing those impressions in a way that serves his interests. Where the lawyer argues, the ad man massages.
Rob Bell's theology seldom approaches you head on. It typically comes at you couched in a question, insinuated in an anecdote, embedded in a quotation from one of his friends, or smuggled in a metaphor. Its non-confrontational and conversational tone invites ready agreement. Even if you don't agree, Bell hasn't pinned himself down. He's only asked a question, quoted an acquaintance, or related an anecdote, and could easily distance himself from any of them.
This seems like a fair assessment to me. Much of the criticism of Bell I've seen - leaving the theology aside - fails to take account of the highly creative and persuasive elements of his style, that are so often missed or grate with linear thinkers.
Quote Of The Day: Jonathan Sacks
Quote Of The Day: Rick Warren
Judge not
"Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand" (Romans 14:4).
"By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are." ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
"It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love." ― Billy Graham
"We shall, as we ripen in grace, have greater sweetness towards our fellow Christians. Bitter-spirited Christians may know a great deal, but they are immature. Those who are quick to censure may be very acute in judgment, but they are as yet very immature in heart. He who grows in grace remembers that he is but dust, and he therefore does not expect his fellow Christians to be anything more; he overlooks ten thousand of their faults, because he knows his God overlooks twenty thousand in his own case. He does not expect perfection in the creature, and, therefore, he is not disappointed when he does not find it. … I know we who are young beginners in grace think ourselves qualified to reform the whole Christian church. We drag her before us, and condemn her straightway; but when our virtues become more mature, I trust we shall not be more tolerant of evil, but we shall be more tolerant of infirmity, more hopeful for the people of God, and certainly less arrogant in our criticisms." ― Charles H. Spurgeon, Spurgeon's Sermons Vol. 1-10
As I reflected in a previous post, the problem we face is that the desire to see evil judged is made more complicated by they fact that we are often the ones in the wrong.... I need to humbly reconise that the bad things we see in the world and wish God would prevent or punish in others is right there inside of me.1
I want both God's justice (exposing the truth about our wrong) and mercy (forgoing the negative consequences we deserve). Sometimes God saves by judging2 - but I'm with Billy Graham and the Bible. Our job is to do the loving.
- A bit of an adaptation of: "The evil we so much wish God would prevent or punish in others is right there inside ourselves" (Christopher Wright, God I don't understand p. 34). ↩
- By judging our evil, by naming it for what it is, by penetrating our denial and self-delusion, God begins saving us. (McLaren, A Generous Orthodoxy, p 95) ↩

RAPIDES PARISH, La. (KALB News Channel 5) An investigation by Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office Detectives leads to multiple arrests.
According to the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office, on October 30, Deputies assigned to the England Airpark responded to a call in reference to Theft of Motor Vehicle Fuel. Upon contact with the complainant, it was determined approximately 500 gallons of motor vehicle fuel was stolen from a fuel tank on Perimeter Road. This fuel tank was owned by some contractors doing work at the airpark. RPSO Detectives were assigned the case and started their investigation. Through their investigation, Detectives developed suspect information which they passed on to the Patrol Division.
According to RPSO, on November 13, Patrol Deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that was of interest for a traffic violation. Detectives working the case responded and interviewed the subject which lead to other suspects in the case. After further investigation, arrest warrants for individuals involved in stealing the fuel were obtained.
According to RPSO, those arrested were Luther Hunter III and Brayden Hunter of Alexandria, Tyler Wood and Tyler Adams of Boyce and a Juvenile from Alexandria. RPSO said Wood, both Hunters and the juvenile were each charged with one count of Theft of Motor Vehicle Fuel over $500 and one count of Criminal Trespassing. Tyler Adams was charged with one count of Theft of Motor Vehicle Fuel over $500, one count of Criminal Trespassing and one count of Criminal Damage to Property.
Detectives said they determined the individuals involved had been getting fuel for over a month. RPSO said all of the suspects except the juvenile were booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center and later released on bond. The juvenile was cited and released to his parents. Detectives said the investigation is continuing and more arrests may be made.

Happybuntu! 5 Years Ubuntu
The Ubuntu community has a lot to celebrate this month: on October 16, 2004 the German ubuntuusers.de went online for the first time and October 20 of the same year saw the release of Ubuntu 4.10, alias Warty Warthog.
Ubuntu 9.10 is scheduled for release at the end of this month, almost exactly 5 years after the first Ubuntu release ever. Warty came with a 2.6.8 kernel, XFree86 4.3, Gnome 2.8, (not to be confused with Gnome 2.28) and Firefox 0.9.3.
ISO images of Ubuntu 4.10 are still available for download. Along with x86 and amd64 versions, the first release also included a PowerPC variant for MacBooks. The rapid success of Ubuntu can be contributed to a number of factors. Firstly, the distro is based on Debian, and apart from the first LTS version, has always achieved its release-date goals (X.04 in April, X.10 in October). Also, Ubuntu has increased the acceptability of Live-CDs and made sudo, the simple admin without root-rights de facto default.
Ubuntu's stringent menu management is also considered one of the distro's great strengths: discounting a few small details, individual sub-menus still contain the same programs found in version 4.10. In German speaking countries, Ubuntu has definitely profited from Novell's takeover of SUSE and the technical immaturity of SUSE version 10.x.

NIAID Researchers Describe How Immune Cells Swarm to Injuries and Infections
Help people who are suffering from chronic, serious, or life-threatening illnesses related to the immune system by volunteering for NIAID clinical studies on ClinicalTrials.gov.
The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from infection. The human body provides an ideal environment for many microbes, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, and the immune system prevents and limits their entry and growth to maintain optimal health.
Although scientists have learned much about the immune system, they continue to study how the body targets invading microbes, infected cells, and tumors while ignoring healthy tissues. New technologies for identifying individual immune cells help scientists determine which cells trigger an immune response under various circumstances. Improvements in microscopy also allow for observations of living immune cells as they interact within lymph nodes and other body tissues.
In addition, scientists are rapidly unraveling the genetic blueprints that direct the human immune response, as well as those that dictate the biology of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. The combination of new technology and expanded genetic information promises to reveal more about how the body protects itself from disease. In turn, scientists can use this information to develop new strategies for the prevention and treatment of infectious and immune-mediated diseases.

UPDATE: Drum says he wants to plead guilty to murder
In an interview Wednesday afternoon, Unger said defendants charged with aggravated first-degree murder are not allowed to plead guilty at the initial arraignment when the prosecutor has announced their intent to consider the death penalty.
The prosecution and defense both have a certain amount of time to figure out if there are mitigating factors that would convince a jury to not impose the death penalty, she said.
If a defendant were allowed to plead guilty before the state makes that determination, they could theoretically avoid the death penalty, she said.
Unger said the defense will compile information on "why we don't believe the death penalty is appropriate for him."

Frugan: Rethinking breakfast.
13 comments:
Hannah, I really need to try savory oats... I've heard several people talk about them!ReplyDelete
GF Gidget.. that sounds delicious!
I know you will be so surprised to hear it, given the name of my blog, but I liked miso soup for breakfast. I add diced tofu and wakame for extra nutrition and tastiness. I never get bored of it and it's the only thing I'm always happy to eat in the morning. I can see kimchi wrapped in nori for breakfast though--that sounds great!ReplyDelete
I do love a good breakfast but rarely eat one. This looks great though! Nothing wrong with leftovers! :)ReplyDelete
i'm burned out here too, Melody - i think we all are. ah ha ha! i'm not a sweet breakfast kinda gal either and i was also never one for eggs. ick. your brown rice 'n split pea soup stir fry looks deeelicious - i love this idea and might have to give it a whirl. breakfasts i usually enjoy: salads with chickpeas, collard wraps, polenta, and hummus sammies. :)ReplyDelete
Hey Mel ... this looks great! Yep, I have some weird tastes sometimes ... I LOVE salads for breakfast.ReplyDelete
I love miso soup for breakfast too. I have a sensitive stomach and I have noticed that if I eat something soupy it usually doesn't give me "the pain" that I get with regular breakfast meals. On the weekends though, I love to do breakfast tacos with soyrizo and black beans.ReplyDelete

Ice Causes 168 Bypass ShutdownFebruary 9th, 2011 at 6:32 pm by John Massey under 10 On Your Side, Chopper 10, News, Personalities, Traffic, Weather
I was in Chopper 10 and was over a truck fire in Chesapeake on the 168 bypass early this morning that had the bypass down to one lane. That had traffic backed up to the bridge over the intercoastal.
As if that was not bad enough, when the fire department sprayed water to put the truck fire out, the water ran into the roadway. The temperature was right at freezing. The water froze on the roadway and that was when the real problems started.
After the lanes of traffic were reopened, two pick-up trucks hit the patch of ice and lost control, spinning off into the ditch on the right side. Fortunately there were no injuries reported. As photojournalist Tom Marks and I were covering the spin outs yet another truck hit the ice and slid into the truck that already was on the side, causing the driver to run for his life..
The police and fire department staff on scene realized what was happening. They stopped all traffic and slowed traffic to one lane until the ice melted. Battlefield Blvd. remained backed up as the alternate and the bypass were backed up for miles, causing many commuters to be late this morning. CLICK HERE to see the video.
I will be up in the morning to help guide you through any problems that the expected snow may bring. Please slow down and take your time. Otherwise you may make it on the morning show the hard way.

International dividend ETFs: Fiscal cliff survival tools?
Investors should consider these exchange-traded funds in case US lawmakers can't reach a deal.
Increasing concern about the fiscal cliff since Election Day is the primary excuse behind the recent declines endured by dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Popular, multi-sector dividend ETFs focused on U.S. equities have been hammered in the past week.
Since Nov. 7, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG), the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY) and the iShares High Dividend Equity Fund (HDV) have lost an average of 4.2%. Things are worse for some so-called dividend sector funds, such as those tracking telecommunications and utilities names. As one example, the Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU) is off 6% since the elections.
Despite compelling evidence that doomsday will not arrive if the dividend tax rate rises, investors have been punishing U.S. dividend-paying stocks, many ETFs and related funds. Although payout ratios at U.S. firms are historically low and high-yielding stocks rose in the decade following the last dividend tax increase in 1993, investors are no longer convinced that domestic dividend names are worth the risk.
International dividend stocks and ETFs might just be the elixir income investors are looking for to deal with the fiscal cliff. Because "international investors are not affected by changes in U.S. tax rates and dividend yields are still attractive in the current environment, we do not anticipate a broad-based flight from global dividend-paying companies stemming from the U.S. Fiscal Cliff," said PIMCO in a research note.
Here is a sampling of some of the globally focused dividend ETFs investors should consider if we go over the fiscal cliff:
iShares Dow Jones International Select Dividend Index Fund (IDV)
This not a perfect "avoid the fiscal cliff" play, with a 22% allocation to the financial services sector and a beta of almost 1.5. However, IDV is sufficiently allocated to conservative sectors such as consumer staples, utilities and telecommunications. That trio represents over 38% of the fund's weight.
Remember, ETFs that are heavy on U.S.-based utilities, and to a lesser extent telecoms, are most vulnerable to the fiscal cliff. PIMCO paints the picture: "For example, a Latin American utility with shareholders from Europe, Asia and the Middle East unaffected by the possible U.S. tax change is unlikely to see less demand for its stock."
Translation: The fiscal cliff may prompt a U.S.-based utility to become suddenly stingy with its dividend. That does not mean a European or Latin American utility will do the same.
WisdomTree International Dividend ex-Financials Fund (DOO)
Not only is this an ex-financials ETF, it is also an ex-U.S. ETF. DOO's 14.4% allocation to utilities is not a red flag, because international utilities trade at much lower valuations than their U.S. counterparts.
DOO's 30-day SEC yield of 4.77% is certainly alluring, but the primary risk to this ETF is its large exposure (over 45%) to eurozone nations. Still, select European equities are attractively valued and many of DOO's Europe-based constituents derive much of their revenue from other parts of the globe.
WisdomTree Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund (DEM)
Emerging markets firms are upping their dividend game this year, with payouts from the 300 largest non-bank stocks in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index expected to rise to $52.2 billion from $48.9 billion last year.
High profitability and low corporate debt bolster the case for emerging markets dividend payers and ETFs such as DEM. So does the fact that U.S. tax policy likely will not factor prominently in a Polish or Thai company's dividend decisions.
There is another reason DEM could work as a fiscal cliff play: State-owned enterprises. Some of these are already decent dividend payers, but since their largest shareholders (the home government) often want more money, there is the potential for dividend growth.
Along those lines, investors should also evaluate the EGShares Low Volatility Emerging Markets Dividend ETF (HILO). Both DEM and HILO offer ample exposure to various state-controlled companies.
Global X SuperDividend ETF (SDIV)
This devotes about 29.3% of its weight to U.S. equities, but many of which are real estate investment trusts obligated by law to pay out a certain percentage of their profits in the form of dividends. That might not be enough to assuage some investors that SDIV is immune to the fiscal cliff.
Still, SDIV features plenty of positive traits extending beyond a 7.72% 30-day SEC yield and a monthly dividend. SDIV is diverse and less volatile than other international dividend funds. With a price-to-earnings ratio of less than 12 and a price-to-book ratio of 1.14, SDIV is not richly valued.
And while SDIV offers exposure to both developed and developing markets, its eurozone exposure is not enough to be a major cause for concern. SDIV's recent pullback seems to be a case of too much too fast; below $21, this ETF is a steal.

This rig looks to be in excellent shape. I haven't tried to put it together yet, but my standard US canteen fit the cover.
ok quality, but very limited in it's utility. the photo led me to believe that there was a pistol belt, making it similar to the old 'H' or some call 'Y' harness. this rack is very limited to number of pouches/gear it will carry. it is what it is.

Courtney Love said recently that she's keen to return to acting, telling Q magazine that she knows how to behave herself on the film set. " I never had any behavior problems on a film shoot," she said. "Never been late. Never not gotten along with another actor, even if I didn't like them."
It's not the on-set stuff that's tough for Love, though, apparently it's what happens afterward. At an appearance at this week's Cannes Lions advertising festival, the singer said that acting requires more self-restraint in one's downtime. According to Page Six , Love proclaimed that "When you're a rock star, you can be an a**hole, but when you are a movie star, [even] if you work with the biggest tool, you have to say, 'I love him.'"
Courtney Love reflected on a wide variety of topics, from friends -- among whom she counts Gwyneth Paltrow and Bono -- to money, of which she says she'd make more if she were dead. Love's further musings on moolah included a tip of her hat to Madonna , who she thinks is "very good with money." She also acknowledges that if she wants to return to acting, she'd best find some "killer shark" agents to scout her prospects.
The Cannes Lions festival began in 1954 but has just recently begun to attract mainstream attention. Bono and Jared Leto are also in attendance this year.

#4 Air Jordan 1 Black/Varsity Red
The black and varsity red Air Jordan 1 is the very first Air Jordan ever released. Launched in March of 1985 for a mere $65, the sneaker is what begun the Air Jordan phenomena. What helped give these sneakers even more notoriety were the fines MJ recieved whenever he wore the shoe at the start of his NBA career. The NBA believed the sneaker did not have enough "white" on it and decided to fine Jordan $5,000 each game he wore the sneaker. Eventually Nike would release a more "appropriate" colorway but these would forever go on to be infamous.
Since it's original launch the sneaker has been retro'd in a variety of ways. Just recently Jordan Brand released an actual "banned" makeup in honor of MJ's fines for the shoe. Anyone looking to build a solid Air Jordan collection needs to look no further than these right here as a definite must own.

Students may either combine Media and Screen Studies with another major, or they may combine half templates in Media and Screen Studies and Cinema Studies to make a full major. There are currently combined majors in Media and Screen Studies with the following departments: Communication Studies, English, Journalism, Sociology, and Theatre. Because Media and Screen Studies was formerly Cinema Studies, currently there are a number of Cinema Studies combined degrees with the following departments: Digital Art, English, Journalism, Languages/Literatures/Cultures, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Theatre. Students are also encouraged to create their own combinations by contacting the relevant programs and departments. There is a short approval process for new combinations. See the director of Media and Screen Studies for more information.
Cooperative Education placements and internships demonstrate to students how the fundamental aspects of the Media and Screen Studies combined major: visual literacy, effective communication, collaborative teamwork, critical thinking, and analytic skills, are valuable in a variety of work settings. The Cooperative Education and/or Internship experience assists Cinema Studies combined majors in assessing their short and long-term goals in terms of undergraduate educational focus, graduate school preparation, and career aspirations. It helps them to understand their own values, ethics, and ideas in the context of the professions that they experience while on Co-op/Internship. Their placements also serve to expose them to a variety of professional people who may serve as mentors in the present and future.
The following types of organizations typically provide students with the best opportunities to develop research, writing and visual communication skills, as well as analytical and critical skills relevant to their major(s): website development companies, documentary production companies, advertising agencies, Boston-based film units of commercial film productions, independent feature productions, WGBH, film distributors, art houses, and area film festivals.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Searching for Market Leaders
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The markets appear to be stalled, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Monday, but that doesn't mean it's time to abandon them. Cramer said that it may be hard to find the market's leaders at the moment, but they are indeed out there.
Technology used to be a market leader, but now only telco spending is heating up, noted Cramer. That's simply not enough for the markets to take nice. Even positive news from Google (GOOG), Facebook (FB) and Yelp (YELP) received a yawn on Wall Street.
The financials are in a similar boat as they pause for interest rates to rise or home sales to rebound, Cramer said. The food and drug stocks have stalled, with names including Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) peaking. Housing stocks have also been stopped cold, and only a few restaurants, including Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Panera Bread (PNRA), remain buys.In the oil patch, only EOG Resources (EOG) has managed to bucked the trend and headed higher, while the real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships continue to struggle in their new environment. Perhaps the only bright spots are those sectors that rely on China and a rebound in Europe. Cramer said aerospace and autos, along with materials, mining and minerals offer hope of picking up steam as the global economy strengthens. A move in the steel stocks, he noted, may just be heating up.
Executive Decision: Rick GoingsIn the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Rick Goings, chairman and CEO of Tupperware (TUP), a stock that's soared 478% since Cramer first got behind it in October 2006 and one that's up 11% since he last spoke with Goings in late April. Shares of Tupperware currently sport a 2.8% dividend yield. Goings once again championed Tupperware's person-to-person business model, noting that every few seconds there's a Tupperware gathering of friends, family or neighbors somewhere in the world. Despite the many revolutions in social media, people still like to meet face to face, said Goings. However Tupperware is also flexible, he noted, and in countries like China, where space is limited, Tupperware now has 3,900 stores to help reach their millions of customers. As the global middle class continues to expand, the power of the Tupperware brand will only keep expanding. That's why Indonesia is now one of the largest markets for Tupperware because that country is experience a surge in women entrepreneurs and a 36% surge in sales.

Most of Tom Townsend's 27 published books are for young adult readers and many of them are historical fiction. His most recent book "The Ballad Of Ole' Hook" is about a bull calf, striving to stay alive, who eventually becomes a rodeo legend. The book also weaves in the story of four teenagers from Rusk who hope to make it big in Rodeo and Country Music.
Although Townsend began writing as a child, he didn't begin to write professionally until he was thirty. While other of his books are set in war-torn Europe and early Texas, "The Ballad Of Ole' Hook" was inspired by Townsend's wife's love of ranching and rodeo.
The couple live on a ranch just outside Rusk where Tom raises cattle and his wife Janet raises miniature horses. Tom Townsend will be signing his newest book Tuesday, August 8th from 5 to 7 p.m. at Hastings Books in Tyler.

When using a cleaning rod, use a muzzle guard too
December 1, 2009 at 08:00
by Matt Foster
Posted in
Firearms Accessories
We all know that cleaning your gun is one of the most important tasks you can do regularly to ensure a long life for your firearm. More importantly, cleaning your firearm properly can ensure that you're accuracy won't suffer. So, when you are utilizing a cleaning rod also make sure it has a muzzle guard.
When the cleaning rod makes contact with the crown, it wears the rifling. The crown part of your barrel is the last point of contact for a departing bullet.
The muzzle guard can stop the cleaning rod from contacting the crown of your barrel.
Ensure that the guard is tapered to fit in your barrel at the muzzle end.
Most guns can be cleaned from the breech. But if you can't or don't have time to disassemble the firearm for cleaning, a muzzle guard can make the difference in your accuracy.

Is Your Accuracy Degrading?
July 9, 2009 at 08:24
Posted in
Firearms Accessories
If the accuracy of a frequently used firearm is degrading, there is a possibility that it is a fouled bore. The barrel of any modern firearm takes an amazing amount of punishment. High power cartridges expel white hot gases under incredibly high pressure, eroding the throat, fusing carbon onto the rifling, while bullets are physically swaged down the barrel, depositing copper into the lands and grooves.

Ever heard the phrase "Pushing Rope"?, meaning doing something that doesn't work. This weekend I was reminded why nothing beats having a cleaning rod available while shooting. At a recent Speed Steel match, I encountered a number of malfunctions. Given I was using a variety of ammo I had begged, borrowed or stolen from friends, this wasn't a surprise. On the bright side I got lots of practice doing mag changes and jam clearing.

It's still getting dark really early, making it hard to get to the range or the duck blind after work, and most hunting seasons are over with. That makes this time of year perfect for firearms maintenance, that most of us seem to put off until the last minute. Doing this during the "off season" will give you an opportunity to fix or discover problems that may have cropped up this last season. It also prevents frantic last minute phone calls to manufacturers for spare parts or services right...

Beginnings: On June 10, 1664, agents of the new plantation at Setauket, bought all the Indian land east of Port Jefferson Harbor as far as Wading River. That included what was to become Mount Sinai. Much of this purchase was known by the peculiar name "Old Man's.'' Historians trace the name to a Capt. John Scott, a known scoundrel who in the mid-18th Century apparently had duped an elderly retired English Army officer, Maj. Daniel Gotherson, into giving him a large amount of money to buy land near Long Island Sound. The buy was not officially recognized, Scott fled and people would allude to the property Gotherson thought he owned as "the old man's.''

The racy website, TheDirty.com has been getting a lot of buzz - now a lawsuit filed against it may get thrown out in court, all because of a typo.
Sarah Jones is a teacher and Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader.
She sued TheDirty.com after the site posted a story about her sexual exploits as a cheerleader, including a report that an ex-boyfriend gave her a sexually transmitted disease.
Earlier, a court awarded Jones $11 million in damages in her defamation suit against the gossip website.
We've learned that her attorney made a clerical error that could be costly.
Instead of suing TheDirty.com, he listed the website's parent company as TheDirt.com .
The missing "y" could be reason enough to dismiss the $11 million judgement, as TheDirt.com and TheDirty.com are different websites.
The Scottsdale, Arizona-based site, TheDirty.com, solicits photos and information from its "Dirty Army," then sometimes adds commentary to what users send in.
The Web site lists the disclaimer, "Postings may contain erroneous or inaccurate information. All images are credited to their original location. The owner of this site does not ensure the accuracy of any content presented on TheDirty.com."

Inside Wall Street: Bruised Disney still attractive
Jittery investors punish the leading media and entertainment conglomerate for a dim forecast.
Many investors have been waiting for a chance to buy shares of the high-flying Walt Disney (DIS) at a discount.
Their patience paid off when the stock stumbled on Nov. 9 -- the day before the global operator of theme parks, filmed entertainment and television warned that although fiscal fourth-quarter results were robust, Disney could be hobbled by problems in the year ahead.
That prompted nervous investors to bail out, driving the stock down to become the biggest loser in the 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average that day. DIS plunged 6% to $47.06 a share.
Since 2009, the stock has been a strong and vigorous outperformer, rocketing from $15 a share that year to an all-time high of nearly $53 on Oct. 4, 2012.
But not everyone turned against Disney. In fact, Tuna N. Amobi, analyst at S&P Capital IQ, not only reiterated his "strong buy" recommendation but boosted his price target on the stock by $2 a share, to $57.
The analyst based his optimism on his revised sum-of-the-parts valuation from estimated 2013 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and a price-earnings-ratio-to-growth outlook.
He noted that fiscal 2012 was "strong," fueled by gains from the company's TV networks -- ESPN, ABC, ABC Family, and the Disney Channel -- and the positive results from its theme parks in the U.S., Hong Kong, as well as the cruise ship operations, says Amobi.
And looking ahead, he sees consumer products and the movie studios further buoyed by the Marvel franchises, with the pending $4 billion acquisition of Lucasfilm. He also views the ABC ratings still as a "swing factor" in Disney's overall results.
Moreover, Amobi isn't as worried about management's discussion of problems ahead as other analysts and Wall Street have been. "The September quarter call affirms the view of a likely enhanced return on invested capital after fiscal 2012's peak capital expenditures, even as the new Shanghai park is set to open in 2015," says Amobi.
Disney's strong results in 2012 eased further concerns about a consumer spending slowdown at the worldwide theme parks and advertising businesses, says the analyst.
Also highly optimistic is Disney Chairman and CEO Robert A. Iger, who described 2012 as a "great year creatively, financially and strategically, resulting in record revenues, net income, and earnings per share."
Meanwhile, Amobi expects the solid box-office performance of such films as "The Avengers" to significantly boost the studio and consumer products business division into fiscal 2013, with further Marvel upside thereafter on follow-on installments to other associated franchises, such as "Thor" and "Captain America."
Equally important for shareholders, "We note ample financial flexibility for share buybacks and sustainable dividends," he adds. Disney currently pays a dividend yield of a relatively healthy 1.20%. Amobi figures Disney will post earnings of $3.49 in fiscal 2013, up from fiscal 2012's $3.13.
One big positive about Disney's stock is that its top holders are some of the largest institutional investors, led by Fidelity Management & Research, State Street Global Advisors, and Vanguard Group.
Orly Seidman, analyst at investment research firm Value Line, says Disney's "top-quality shares are favorably ranked for the year ahead," as the media and entertainment conglomerate "has made great strides across its business lines over the past few quarters," with its studio entertainment and theme parks and resorts operations likely paving the way for further growth in the future.
He argues that the acquisition of Lucasfilm augurs well for Disney as there is another Star Wars episode scheduled for 2015. He expects Disney will leverage the Star Wars brand in its theme parks and ought to use Lucasfilm's technology in the Disney films.
Indeed, Disney henceforth could be billed and branded as the Star Wars stock that could propel the media and entertainment giant to greater heights in the planet.

DayBird - March 1st
752 BC – Romulus, first king of Rome, celebrates the first Roman triumph after his victory over the Caeninenses, following The Rape of the Sabine Women.
It started a month before with Abby and sis throwing a tantrum. Others soon join in. The first tried was Bridget Bishop, who was found guilty and executed by hanging. Thirteen women and four men followed her to the gallows, and one man was executed by crushing. Those tried were condemned on the basis of the witnesses' shenanigans during the proceedings.
1910 – David Niven, English actor (d. 1983) or you can watch "Casino Royale" in its entirety.
1922 – Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minister of Israel (d. 1995)
1932 - Lindbergh baby kidnapped. Charles Lindbergh III, the 20-month-old son of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, is kidnapped from the family's home in Jersey. The kidnapper used a ladder to climb up to the open second-floor window. Does not end like "Raising Arizona"
1936 – The Hoover Dam is completed.
1954 – Castle Bravo, a 15-megaton hydrogen bomb, is detonated on Bikini Atoll. It proved to be a large radiation fallout disaster: ashes from the explosion flew miles into inhabited islands. Sharing is caring.
1981 - Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands began a hunger strike at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland.
We lost the gold yesterday in Hockey, in overtime. Well played, Canada. Now back to ignoring the existence of NBC.

In an exhaustive piece, Slate magazine's Josh Levin tells the story of the woman whose life gave rise to the phrase: A one-time Chicago woman who went by dozens of names, bilking the federal government out of welfare payments, death benefits, food stamps and seemingly every other type of public assistance or benefit imaginable. (Levin recounts her entire life history and many names but for purposes of the story refers to her as Linda Taylor.) But some of her other misdeeds make her welfare fraud cases pale by comparison.
He writes:
When I set out in search of Linda Taylor, I hoped to find the real story of the woman who played such an outsize role in American politics—who she was, where she came from, and what her life was like before and after she became the national symbol of unearned prosperity. What I found was a woman who destroyed lives, someone far more depraved than even Ronald Reagan could have imagined. In the 1970s alone, Taylor was investigated for homicide, kidnapping, and baby trafficking. The detective who tried desperately to put her away believes she's responsible for one of Chicago's most legendary crimes, one that remains unsolved to this day. Welfare fraud was likely the least of the welfare queen's offenses.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan is among the states least-affected by the partial shutdown of the federal government.
The Great Lakes State ranks 41st, with Virginia topping the list as the most-affected and Iowa dead last. At the same time, though, Michigan is fifth worst-off for the disruption of Small Business Association loans and tenth for the impact of Social Security funding shortages.
The rankings come from a study by WalletHub.com.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- Wausau and Marathon County parks are going to be opening up late this year thanks to the long winter.
Parks superintendent Dan Fiorenza says the deep cold means lots of fixes across the parks system. "All the systems will have to be put back together that were taken apart for the Winter. Water systems will have to be put back together, repairs of water systems that were broke because of the deep frost this year."
That frost means difficulties for the grassy areas as well. "All of our turf areas are a couple weeks away yet and if you get on them too early, we're just going to do a lot of damage to the turf because there's still so much frost in the ground." Fiorenza says that's because water still can't drain properly through the deep frost, so grass and dirt areas are going to be be especially slippery.
Fiorenza estimates it may be a few weeks until everything is ready to go. "Hopefully we'll get some good drying weather and we won't be too far off but we're a couple weeks behind. Usually we're opening ball diamonds up here in relative short order and we're some time away from that."

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP | For those looking to remodel, upgrade, or build a house, the Home & Lifestyle Show at the Porter County Expo Center is the place to be this weekend.
Vicky Gadd, executive officer at the Home Builder Association of Northwest Indiana, the organization sponsoring the event, said that this year more than ever is a great time to attend the show to consult with more than 100 businesses showcasing their products and services.
"This is our 35th year and we have gone back to a focus on home improvement with a theme of being re-inspired. We want people to enjoy their homes again. With the economic downturn, people have put off projects they wanted to do and now the better economy means they can get those projects done," Gadd said.
Businesses that specialize in helping home owners with their projects, like roofing, windows, siding, bathroom, kitchen, gutter, landscaping, lighting, pluming, insulation, and design business, were on hand to offer photos, videos, and discussion of their expertise.
"We know a lot of people want to get things done on their homes and we can help," said James Moore of 1 Guy with Tools, a new business and a new exhibitor at the show.
"We do all kinds of home repairs, for people who need to do some general maintenance on their homes, and for those who are looking to sell a home. We're local and we're here to help people in our community," Moore said.
Dave Parcell, sales manager with Solar Energy Systems, came from Nappanee, Ind. to showcase their solar panels for roof or ground mounting.
"We wanted to bring a presence to this region because we've seen an increase in the use of alternative energies. As there is more awareness of solar technologies, people will ask questions and find that it is more affordable than they thought. It's a great way to reduce electricity costs for their home," Parcell said.
Jean Chappell with NIPSCO said that bringing energy awareness to home owners is also their objective for participating in the Home & Lifestyle Show.
"We're here with our energy efficiency group, to talk about our appliance recycling program, home energy audits, green power program, electric vehicle program, and our woodstove change out program. A lot of people want to know about these options when they update their homes and we're here to provide this information," Chappell said.
Alyssa Darrol of Hobart came to the event with her husband and daughter and said that they came to the event to plan for the future.
"We just bought a home and we are looking at windows and air conditioners. We just want to see the different things we need to upgrade," Darrol said.
