Does Appearing Pure Matter?
- Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Ask that last question of the increasing number of children being born out of wedlock. In 2009, for the first time in America's history, more children were born to unwed mothers under the age of 30 than married mothers. And while many middle-class evangelicals have ignored the news, maybe that's because our largest demographic—white folk—have been leading the charge. During the past 20 years, white women who start college but don't complete it comprise the fastest-growing segment of illegitimate birth-givers.
Granted, many factors contribute to this grave trend in our society. But chief among them involves our increasingly ambivalent regard for sexual purity.
And like everything else, it all starts with the basics: those innocuous, almost invisible decisions we make about how we structure our time with the opposite sex. After all, many of our destructive behaviors don't just materialize out of thin air, do they? They start small, even as innocent choices. And the more comfortable we get making those choices, the more we become like frogs in a pot of water. You've heard this before: plop a frog in a pot of boiling water, and it will leap right out. But place a frog in a pot of cool water, then slowly turn up the heat, and the frog will let itself get cooked to death by acclimating to the ever-dangerous water temperatures.
Perhaps one of the ways God allows us to evaluate sin behaviors is by showing us how that behavior looks from the perspective of somebody else. It's not necessarily to shame us from a particular behavior in the eyes of other people—since God is our only eternal judge—but to give us a benchmark by which we can consider the virtue of our own actions.
In 1 Peter 2:11-12, the apostle sums this up succinctly:
"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
How we single believers in Christ interact with the opposite sex isn't about us. It's not about rules for propriety or spirituality. It's not even about how other people think about us. It's about God and his glory.
If we set God's glory as our objective, and work backwards, maybe our need for sexual purity will seem less legalistic, and more worshipful.
After all, it's his appearance we're supposed to be keeping up.
From his smorgasboard of church experience, ranging from the Christian and Missionary Alliance to the Presbyterian Church in America, Tim Laitinen brings a range of observations to his perspective on how we Americans worship, fellowship, and minister among our communities of faith. As a one-time employee of a Bible church in suburban Fort Worth, Texas and a former volunteer director of the contemporary Christian music ministry at New York City's legendary Calvary Baptist, he's seen our church culture from the inside out. You can read about his unique viewpoints at o-l-i.blogspot.com.

I'm not a genius. I'm not going to be accepted into Mensa for a crazy high IQ and I didn't score a 1,600 on my SATS. But, I'm also not a complete moron. Or, maybe I am, because there are some idiotic things that I do again and again and again.
1. I make an obscenely huge amount of pasta. Every damn time I try and feed three children spaghetti, I swear I could feed an army. A big one.
2. I turn the wrong way when leaving a store. I then, of course, have to fiddle with my phone so it doesn't look completely obvious that I have no idea where I'm going.
3. I shut the door when I use the bathroom. What's the point of that? I'll just get barged in on or hollered for.
4. I use the wrong light switch. We've lived in our house for almost three years, and it still takes me three tries to turn on the hallway light.
5. I still bother cleaning up the playroom. There's no point at all in that.
6. I interpret silence from my three kids as a good thing rather than the disaster it never ceases to be.
7. I can't recall a single phone number. I swear, at this point in my life, I am incapable of learning nine numbers in the correct order.
8. I think my children will listen to me I ask them to be quiet while I take an important phone call.
9. I put veggies on my children's plate believing that they might actually eat them.
10. I believe that I'm capable of getting a good night's sleep. Ha!
What idiotic things do YOU do?

Nine numbers? A phone number has 7 digits. With an area code it's 10.
Oh the light switches- We owned a big home some years ago and the original owner/builder was quite unique. The entry hall had a bank of about 10 switches and none of them corresponded to a nearby geographic location. We lived in that home for 10 years and I never learned which switch activated which light.
I still need to read the directions for mac & cheese.
LOL...mine is thinking I can sleep in on the weekends. Ha!
I went so far as to put a sticky note above our light switches because one switch would turn a power cord off that the tv and many other electronics are plugged into(NOT good) and I could not for the life of me remember which one. It actually helped a lot, and even though the sticky is still there, I don't have to stop and read it to get the right switch.
I always make too much rice lol
I can't read hand clocks. Everyone has tried teaching me and it is a lost cause. Not sure why which hand is which just doesn't click... I'm 26 and grew up with digital.

I'm liking what I see for the Fall 2012 menswear lineup for H&M. I'm loving the green jacket and how it juxtaposes the strong darkness of the other look.
Wearing a bow tie is a nice change to the regular tie. Change it up.
Being the menswear and fashion addict that I am, I went and watch the entire Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2012 show. These two had to be my favorite of them all. Very classical but with a touch of edge and modernization by including the studded leather and the choice of fabric. Loving that double breasted suit.
A day or so ago I made a guide focusing on fitting and styling of men's suits. On the guide I mentioned a little bit about shirts and not being afraid of wearing colors. I wanted to show you some examples so today I went shopping and picked up two shirts for around $24. Notice the color and pattern. I advise introducing subtle colors (i.e. blues) and fine patterns so that you are adding interest at a comfortable level. Patterns can give you a more laid-back feel to the outfit. The fit/style of both shirts are fitted or slim. If you're on the huskier size, it's best to buy a size larger and don't forget to try it on. The shirt should fit and flatter your figure. Don't feel obligated to buy something too small. I hope it helps.
I remember looking desperately for some sort of fitting guide when I was buying my suit ages ago. After many fail attempts, I was force to gather the information myself. After doing some much needed research on fitting combined with my own personal experiences (plus my interest for fashion), I've decided to put together this guide to help you guys out. Keep in mind that this is what I believe to be the ideal fitting for a suit, therefore it might not reflect yours. I know we all have our own style and taste, but my intentions are to help those who are in need of some basic fitting/styling tips. Enjoy!

Greetings from Australia! This week, if you hear something in the
background of my exclusive video, it's the crickets that get louder before a hailstorm. I'm not kidding.
So, it may be summer where I am but it's even HOTTER in back Atlanta and Beverly Hills as the Real Housewives offend each other, fight with their husbands and spend waaaay too much money on doggie accessories. Who is the most ridiculous of the week? Is it Porsha Stewart? Cynthia Bailey's sister Malorie? Mama Joyce? Or maybe it's Brandi Glanville or Carlton Gebbia. Let's discuss…
The argument between Cynthia Bailey and her husband, Peter Thomas, was painful and I could see straight between the lines to the heart of the matter. This week, I discuss how husbands are affected by being married to a Real Housewife. Money, reputation and relationship stress – I go deep into all of it. Funnily enough, Porsha Stewart is having some similar issues with the pressure of being on reality TV and her reaction is to spend as much money as possible. Is this wise?
There's plenty more to discuss in Atlanta, but let's not forget the Real
Housewives of Beverly Hills as well. Brandi Glanville is having a moment, and I think I know what caused it. We saw almost exactly the same thing happen with a couple of cast members in the original New York City gang, and I tell you ALL about it.
Oh, and by the way, Carlton Gebbia…the reason to build a sex dungeon in your house is precisely so your mother-in-law and children don't have to know about that part of your lives. So don't invite her to go lingerie shopping with you. It's rude. Agree, or am I crazy??
What advice would you give Cynthia on saving her marriage to Peter?
Images via BravoTV
They need to reconnect with each other no cameras just them and get rid of the sister .
Gurlll!!! You must be enjoying your summer vacation in Australia because this vlog is HOT!!! There is so much tea here I am sloshing and don't even know where to begin!! I was thinking about what tea you might spill when I caught that Cynthia, hubby, sister, and brand new car scene. Do you really think that Bravo could organize for sister to move in without Cynthia knowing about it??
By the way, Cynthia has my total respect now as a woman and a RHW. Dealing with a manboy is never easy. Dealing with that business on camera?? Oh lordy, she has the patience of a saint!!
Brandi came on the show with a surplus of support and seems to be squandering it. Yes, I believe she can climb out of the Jillzy rabbit hole by authentically owning her bad behavior and apologizing for it and GROWING UP!! The question is does she have the guts to do this... or the self awareness. she doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb in the pack. But I still hold out hope... as long as she stops drinking so much. That crap'll kill you. She should just ask bff JG.
Can't think of anything else right now. I may just hit play again cause Alex McCord had a teapot overflowing this week!!! Thanks for a great vlog!!

JASON BAUM: Good afternoon and welcome to The Barn today for this great day in Rutgers basketball history. My name is Jason Baum, senior associate AD for communication here at Rutgers. Today's speakers at the podium will be Rutgers president, Dr. Robert L. Barchi, interim director of athletics Carl Kirschner, and Eddie Jordan.
At this time, ladies and gentlemen, let me please introduce Rutgers president Dr. Robert L. Barchi.
DR. BARCHI: Well, I have to tell you this is the most fun I've had in front of TV cameras in the last month (smiling). I know you've looked down the street and you saw that puff of white smoke go up. It's my privilege to be able to announce to you what you've all known probably longer than I have, as I read the newspapers.
It's an exciting day and new day for Rutgers, one in which I can finally reveal what is the worst-kept secret in town. I don't have to tell anyone, especially anyone in this building, that Mr. Eddie Jordan has really a proud and deep connection and commitment to Rutgers and to the Rutgers community.
He was a star on our legendary Final Four team of 1976, a magical season that was played right here on these boards, and probably actually on these boards, knowing our renovation cycle.
I know we have some of his former teammates in the audience right now. Can any of those teammates who are here stand up for us. The knees still work, delighted to see that.
You know that Eddie has been a major part of the history of our program. I know that he's made memories in this place. We're looking forward to having him make memories for our Scarlet Knights moving forward.
In a minute I'm going to ask our athletic director Carl Kirschner to introduce Eddie in more detail. But let me say a few things about him that I've noticed. We've only known each other for a period of hours formally, got a chance to meet him first last week.
I already know he's somebody that will play a major role in moving Rutgers forward. Goes without saying he's passionate about basketball, committed to winning and incredibly knowledgeable. Just as important, he is committed to our university's fundamentals.
What I picked up on right away is that Eddie knows what our commitment is to the atmosphere of respect and dignity here.
If I had to go back over all the positive reviews that I got when I talked about Eddie and talked to folks who know him, if I had to pick out one thing, it would be the comment that I got from one of the owners of a major league team that he's coached for. He said, Here is the thing, Eddie has respect for and is respected by everyone, from the owners to the players to the coaches to the ball boy. That's what really impressed me. That's what I saw in this man. That's what I know he has.
Anyone in this position wants to win. Anyone in this position is passionate about basketball. But not everyone who can run a team like this can have those sorts of things said about him. I know he's the right leader at a pivotal moment for our men's basketball program.
Without any further ado, I'll turn the podium over to Carl Kirschner and say, Eddie, welcome back to Rutgers. Can't wait till you get back here On the Banks.
CARL KIRSCHNER: Thank you, Dr. Barchi. This is my second stint. I got to hire a coach. I hope I don't have a third stint as acting athletic director.
A quick story. Some of you know this, some don't. I arrived to Rutgers in the fall of 1976 as a young assistant professor, about six inches taller, a lot more hair. As a basketball fan, I went to watch the basketball team play right here. There was this very, very good guard playing in his senior year named Eddie Jordan. I actually watched Eddie Jordan play in his senior year the last year that The Barn was used for basketball. For those of you who do not remember or are too young, let me show you this.
(Video Shown.)
CARL KIRSCHNER: So in the 10, 15, 20 hours that I've now known Eddie Jordan, I've come to recognize him, many of you know it already, as a classy guy, open, honest, willing to learn, utmost integrity. Just a classy guy.
So I think we are very, very fortunate to be able to have Eddie back On the Banks. Rutgers University is fortunate to have not only a classy, decent man, but someone with a tremendous coaching pedigree.
I'm going to turn the podium over to Coach Edward M. Jordan, otherwise known as Fast Eddie.
COACH JORDAN: Thank you. Thanks for coming.
Obviously back then I was known as Fast Eddie. As my guys know now, I'm just Hot Air Jordan. I realized that when my teammates stood up. Most of them stood up like this, Phil stood up like this (laughter).
Again, thank you for coming. I am really honored and blessed to be named the caretaker of our team, of our program, of our university's basketball program. I say 'our' because we've all come to a point that we have to regain our pride and our dignity and our integrity to our university. That's why I'm honored and proud to be part of that. There's a responsibility for all of us to represent our university in the highest class and the utmost respect.
Today is about the future of Rutgers basketball, and we're moving forward. There's some healing process that has to be done. I'm glad my team is here. We have enough talent to exceed expectations. We want our guys to feel good about themselves, about their future, about their basketball team. That is part of my responsibility, but as always it's also part of yours because we're all one and we all need help to regain our integrity back.
The program has to be built on two words. When I was a young coach, I talked to K.C. Jones, had a conversation with him. He won 11 championships with the Boston Celtics. I said K.C., what's the most part of your championship runs? He would say, Effort and harmony, effort and harmony, meaning hard work, a great work ethic, and knowing how to get along, knowing how to work together.
So that's what this program is going to be built on: hard work and teamwork.
I want to thank Dr. Barchi for his belief and trust in me. I'd like to thank our Board of Governors and our Board of Trustees who understood the meaning of 'due diligence.' People have taken some criticism on the length of time, but the due diligence was very important in their minds and in their actions to get this thing right. I'm glad that they chose me (smiling).
I want to thank Carl Kirschner for being there for me, who runs an academic support program second to none in the country. I want to thank Kate Sweeney for being there. She's from our era. Not calling out your age, Kate, but she's younger at heart. She was there for me.
Last but not least Brian Perkins, who acted as a surrogate brother, agent, for free. He was certainly a big part of motivating me. Not like he had to motivate me.
I have one story to share with you because this is where I want to sort of end up going.
There's Jimmy Lynam, who is a lifer coach, a coach at Saint Joe's. Coached with me, was an assistant with me with the Nets, with the 76ers. He shared a story with me. He and Saint Joe's were in a tournament. They had five or six teams in the tournament. He had to play Temple the first game.
As he was having breakfast, he was talking to a reporter. He was in a hotel restaurant full of people, some players from different teams, hotel guests.
The reporter was saying, Jimmy, you can beat Temple this team. John Chaney, he's way beyond his time, you can press him and they'll turn it over.
Jimmy says, You don't know, man, you don't know what I'm going against here.
If you put up a press, they'll turn it over. Put up a zone, they'll miss shots. They're not good shooters.
Jimmy said, You don't know what I'm going against here.
As they're talking, other coaches are coming in.
Jimmy, you can really beat Temple this time.
Another coach comes in. Hi, Bob.
Hey, you don't know what I'm going against.
Here comes John Chaney. He comes to the hostess' table. As the hostess starts to seat him, he walks into the restaurant and 13 guys stood up. As he walked to his table, they stood up. When he sat down, they sat down.
The reporter turned to Jimmy and said, Shucks, you're in hard luck tonight. You got some bad luck tonight.
Just that story tells you if you can mold your players, they have respect for you, that's what you get as a coach. Mold them, show them what respect is, build a great relationship with them. I've spent maybe three days with them, and I know we've got some talent down there to exceed people's expectations.
Winning is always in the equation. Not just healing, not just relationships, not just getting the program back, but winning is always in the equation. That's what I want our guys to understand.
We're going to play, build a relationship, trust, belief, and as always a phrase I like to say, faith before duty. Believe in the program, believe in what we're doing, go out and do it right.
Again, thanks for coming and I'm glad to be here.
JASON BAUM: We'll take questions at this point.
Q. Can you elaborate a little bit on what stylistic differences Rutgers fans can expect between you and your predecessor?
COACH JORDAN: I really don't know what my predecessor did as far as X's and O's. I know we want to be up-tempo. We want to play just like we played in the year I played. Force turnovers. Your defense will create the offense. Open the floor up.
I think you always play to your best player. I know a couple of guys already who are our best players. That's what we'll do. Your team shows you how to play. I just know it's going to be exciting. They're going to work hard and share the basketball.
Q. Are you concerned about the five players who have said they don't want to come back next year?
COACH JORDAN: No, I'm not concerned. The most important thing for me was to recruit our players. Every day I've got at least one or two in my office, on the floor, talking to them, texting them, calling them. It's about building relationships. It's not going to happen overnight.
I've talked to parents. They're as hurt as the players. Maybe out of the 10 parents that I called, eight parents that I talked to, two were really, really enthusiastic about their child coming back, their young man coming back, and the other were hurt.
It's a process. It's hard to just gain trust in one phone call. But it's a due diligence for me to do it every day. I'm not giving up till that player is out of the door and into another school.
Q. The one question I want to ask, given everything you've seen transpire here over the past month or so, what makes you the right guy, at the right place, at the right time?
COACH JORDAN: Coaching style. I like to build relationships. I like to put my arms around the players and ask them, What do you see on the basketball floor? I always was taught, even by the great Pete Carril, that the lower you talk, and you talk to the team, they'll come in closer. Maybe he just couldn't yell. But the lower you talk, the closer they come. They understand.
The learning process I always thought was you pay attention, you listen, you pay attention, you understand. Number two, you comprehend. Number three, you remember it. Number four, you apply. Number five, you repeat it. That's the learning curve for the way I teach.
Q. Rutgers has always been perceived as a sleeping giant because of its geographic location because of recruiting. For you personally, this is your alma mater. What has changed in your eyes considering the fact this program will be in the Big Ten in a year? What elements change now that you'll be competing in the Big Ten versus the Big East?
COACH JORDAN: I've done recruiting seven of my eight years in college. Recruiting is pretty much the same every school you go by. You have rules you have to abide by, you make your contacts, you keep plugging and plugging. That's what recruiting is whether you're at UCLA or Rutgers.
Tom Jones and Ron Borland came and said we were a sleeping giant. Look what happened in three years. It's not a sleeping giant any more because of what happened, but we're moving forward.
Again, it's about finding, identifying the top talent, which is not hard to do nowadays, and finding the people that fit what you want. Character is in there. When you look at how you build a good team, talent is always number one. Toughness is number two. Number three is character. Number four is experience.
Young talent doesn't win much, all right? Talent that's not tough doesn't win much. That's why we won with Phil. And you have to have great character. So all those four ingredients make up a good player that makes a good team.
Q. Eddie, looking at your teammates, being in this place, what memories come to mind?
COACH JORDAN: Well, that we were determined to be good. We had a great player in Phil. The rest of us were good players. We were good. We were talented. We used what was good for us. We used our speed. We used our quickness. We used our harmony that we knew who the best shooter was. We knew how to get the ball up the floor. We knew how to press and play off each other.
Those are the qualities of a good team. Again, if the Boston Celtics can win with harmony and effort as their mantra, then that's where we're going to start.
Q. 40 years ago a young kid from the Washington area came to Rutgers and the rest as they say is history. What do you say to an 18-year-old kid today? Why should he come to Rutgers? Why should a parent entrust a young man in your hands?
COACH JORDAN: Number one, you enjoy the Rutgers experience. It's a great place to be. It's a great degree. That's number one.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of kids, student-athletes, who think that playing in college for two years or one will get them to the NBA. If that's the case, then there's some qualities that I possess that I understand what the NBA is about. But certainly the Rutgers experience is a great experience.
Going into the Big Ten, great expectations. The Big Ten has the best network in the country. Even though we'll be in Minnesota, we'll be on every TV screen in the country. That's a heck of a recruiting pitch, that it is the best academic, athletic and exposure network in the country.
Q. What made you want to come here? Watching what has transpired over the last month, what made you want to come here?
COACH JORDAN: That's a no-brainer. I wanted to come here 10 years ago. I wanted to come here three years ago. It wasn't because of what happened. I've always wanted to coach Rutgers. I'm glad that I've gotten all the experiences that any possible coach can have. Heck, I even coached ninth graders last summer. I coached my son's eighth grade team. I coached one of the elite AAU teams, 17-and-unders last summer, won a national championship with an AAU team. I've run the gamut of coaching.
I've been as assistant, a head coach, a player on a championship team. I've been part of a team that went to the finals in the New Jersey Nets. I even said a few things to Kobe Bryant without him snapping my head off (smiling).
I've run the gamut. It's my experiences that should help these young men right here succeed.
Q. You've been around Tom Young long enough to know that he had a guy who did his recruiting for him. A coach can only do so much. Who are you going to get to be your recruiter?
COACH JORDAN: Well, right now we have two capable recruiters that I thought was necessary to retain and evaluate. David Cox and Van are very capable recruiters, very crucial areas: New York, Washington, Philly and Baltimore. I still believe you can win with the talent in your area.
I think there will be other positions that may become available for us. It's funny that I wanted to mention this. I've had ex former NBA All-Stars call to be part of my staff. I've had ex NBA coaches to be part of my staff. I've had ex-players, NBA players, great college coaches, be part of my staff. So how attractive is Rutgers? That attractive, okay? That attractive.
There won't be a problem finding other people, and I will bring other people in to interview.
Q. Is David staying?
COACH JORDAN: For the time being, we're staying together. There's a comfort level with our players with David Cox and with Van. That's important to me that there's continuity. If there's trust with them, that's important to me and that's important to them.
Q. The whole world saw the video that was out there about Rutgers basketball. I'm curious if you could share, as a Rutgers person, how you felt when you saw what happened to the Rutgers name through that? If you could describe for us in contrast to that what your coaching style is, if you're a tough coach but not crossing lines. Give us a sense of who you are in dealing with your players.
COACH JORDAN: Every individual in this room has feelings. I had the same feelings as everyone here. I don't want to rehash those.
Moving forward, I've coached probably difficult players, and they were great as far as competitiveness, trusting what I teach. Kenyon Martin, Gilbert Arenas prior to what he did, and I understand different personalities. But, again, it's about coaching and teaching.
I always said there's a road we want to go down. Everyone has their own personalities within the boundaries of that road. Hardly anyone walks that straight and narrow. We see a line down the middle of the road. Hardly anyone walks that straight line. Some of us have personalities that walk like this, some have personalities that walk down the road like this, all right?
But you can't break the boundaries. I'll allow you to have your personality, but there are rules. We already instituted, what's the first rule I gave you guys, no hats in the building, that's right. That's a small step (laughter).
There are personalities that you coach. My style is hands-on. I always like to say, I'll say to Myles, what do you see out there, do you see a driving lane, is Kadeem open in the post, can you go back door, do you need a pick'n roll? What do you see, tell me. Good players make good coaches. Bad players get you fired.
Q. Have you received any assurances at all about the renovation of the RAC?
COACH JORDAN: I understand the scoreboard will be in for sure in August. We want the product on the floor to fill up whatever seats we have. That's what I'm concerned about. I've seen drawings. I've seen scales, models. But my job right now is to save my players and to get them to understand and to trust me.
I'm low maintenance. Sometimes my qualities, call them qualities I guess, are my weaknesses. I'm open-minded, patient and low maintenance. But I think what's important to me, my mindset on a daily basis is to save my players.
Q. Being in the NBA for so long, what kind of adjustment do you expect it to be to come back to the college game?
COACH JORDAN: Heck, I had to make adjustments going to the NBA because when I watch NBA games, there's not a whole lot of contact nowadays. I watch a college game, there's contact everywhere. I mean, hands and bodies flying, hands all on you. Right, Myles? No calls out there when people are guarding you with their hands. I mean, I love the college game.
Something interesting. When I was in college for eight years, I never watched the NBA game. I never wanted to go to the NBA. My nose was to the grindstone. When I was in the NBA, I didn't watch much college because I had to do NBA stuff.
I think it's not going to be a whole lot of adjustments. A chest pass is a chest pass, ninth grade or NBA All-Star. I mean, if you fill this entire gym up with NBA players, 90% of them you'll see fundamentals. Fundamentals will never fail you on any level. You play hard, you play together. Harmony and effort.
Q. Can you talk a little bit about why you wanted to get back to Rutgers so badly and where this ranks in your coaching career?
COACH JORDAN: Where this ranks? Well, I'm 0-0, so it's okay right now (smiling).
It's all from the heart, man. It's from the heart. I know I have a lot of support. Again, this is our school. The Rutgers community has to help all of us to bring our university back to some respect and some integrity.
This is a centerpiece of what happened. This is the centerpiece that's going to bring it forth.
Q. I know you want to hit the ground running. What is your immediate schedule going to be like the next couple weeks?
COACH JORDAN: Obviously the NCAAs have periods where you can evaluate, where you can bring people in, when you can't do something. I'm visiting a recruit tonight in New York. I'm taking Phil with me because it might be a tough neighborhood (laughter). I'm going to evaluate two major AAU tournaments this weekend in Philadelphia and in Hampton, Virginia. I'm still talking to players who are on the fence of leaving and coming back. I have to be available for them.
After this weekend, there's know evaluation period for a while. We'll be doing what most schools will be doing: bringing kids on campus. Some of our immediate attention will go to junior college transfers who can play right away, fifth-year seniors who have a year of eligibility, seniors who haven't committed who I'm going to see tonight.
We want to replenish our roster if, in fact, more kids leave than I expect. I'm hoping that our relationship - we're all in this - are going to keep a couple of guys in here. I've said we can have one of the most dynamic backcourts in the country if we can retain a couple of guys with Myles.
Thank you very much.
JASON BAUM: Thank you.

Planning and Zoning Board delays Moore's recommendation
Date: September 15, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board delayed a recommendation to the Town Commission on owner Alan Moore's request to change Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant & Marina, 800 Broadway, to a residential site.
Moore says he won't be able to renegotiate his business's double-digit interest-rate loans that are due in January if the planning board doesn't move his request along to the commission next month.
Also at its regular meeting, the planning board:
• A request by Ringling College of Art and Design to delay a site-plan application for the Longboat Key Center for the Arts. The issuance of a building permit will be extended to June 30, 2012.
• A site-plan amendment for The Longboat Key Club Moorings Marina, 2800 Harbourside Drive, to allow for the addition of 13 parking spaces.
• Suggestions put together by town staff that depict different types of welcome signs that can be placed at the island's north and south ends as part of a $500,000 grant awarded as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The planning board's suggestions will be forwarded to the Town Commission for review at its Thursday, Sept. 24 regular workshop.
For more information on Moore's request, pick up a copy of the Thursday, Sept. 17 Longboat Observer.
Contact Kurt Schultheis at email@example.com.

- It is hard for me to believe that Moore's request would be denied after an election demonstrated citizens of the island supported Moore's request. I guess the planning board is not interested in citizens' opinions about the key. Maybe we need to look at whose opinions should count.

Jackfruit Seed Curry
A couple of weeks ago I was cat sitting for a friend, in a city just North of London. It is quite unlike where I live, there cultural diversity is not exactly thriving. So I get excited to wander in and out of a long stretch of enticing Asian food stores. I shake boxes, peer into tubs, gingerly sniff at strange vegetables. I squint at minuscule text on colourful packages to uncover what the contents are. These stores don't just look different. No sleek expensive displays just shelves with bulk bags of rice and bean flour, they smell different too. I revel in the foreignness of it all!
After a lengthy Q & A with a patient store owner, who matched my excitement at times (or humoured me at least), I went home with a bag of spirally fingers of green veg, a huge root vegetable called a mooli or daikon, and a last minute grab of a handful of large seeds, the colour of many a wall in British homes in the 90's...magnolia. The jolly man at the till told me what they were, but a Google search was on the cards to find out what to do with them. This giant seed that was giving nothing away!
A few of Asian websites offered their take on the preparation. In Thailand they boil them. Their wedding ceremonies use mung bean flour and coconut flour make make a dough, to shape into balls to resemble the seed (I failed to discover why) and call it Met Khannon. The sweet bake is said to symbolise that whatever fate has for the bride and groom and ensure they will have support of others, and never loose sight of their dreams. i was feeling far too single to think about weddings and confetti ....and perhaps my recent (and ongoing) green smoothie--juicing--salad munching health kick made the thought of pungent, colourful spices all the more exotic and enticing.
So I opted to transform the seed, Indian style, and prepare Palakottal.
Mine is a slightly adjusted version of a dish hailing from Tamil Nadu.
To create this dish for two you will need...
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 medium onion diced small
1 green chili with most of ribs and all seed removed unless you like some fire
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 inch piece of fresh ginger
3 fresh tomatoes roughly chopped
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
oil for frying
Measure all your Indian spices and decant them onto a plate to sit beside your cooker top, waiting for you to enlist their beguiling flavours. Use a knife to score the thin skin of the jackfruit seed, the use thumb and forefinger to prise the seed free. Gently drop into a pan of nicely bubbling water, coloured with the turmeric powder. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the seeds jiggle in the hot broth for 25-30mins.
Drain the liquid and shake the seeds onto a chopping board. Take your knife and carefully split the seeds in half. You can use the same pan, emptied of water, to toast the spices. Toasting releases the spices natural oils and their flavour deepens as the mingling fragrance blooms into the kitchen.
But first, add oil, about a table spoon, to the hot pan and fry the onion, chili and chopped garlic and ginger for a minute or so. I love how they begin to glisten. It is a glorious union! When they are sizzling and taking on a touch of golden hue, it's time to push the spices into the pan. Stir the mix so it doesn't burn, when each fragrant spice has unfolded put the juicy tomatoes in the pan, with the seeds and gently combine it all together.
Only a few minutes is needed to coat the seeds and for the tomatoes to break down to a sauce.
Serve simply with fresh Indian bread or brittle, roasted, poppadoms and a scattering of fresh green cilantro (coriander leaves or to give it its Indian name dhania).
The seed are soft and waxy as freshly dug new potatoes. They absorb the spices and slightly acidic tomatoes so well but still layers of flavour pop intermittently.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Allow for Pre-made AV groups, and everything will even out. Pre-made will own the battleground at the start, and PuGs start to shape up and focus.
Everytime I get into AV, I can see if we are gonna win or lose within the first 5 min. How many people go on defence, do the alliance split there force in 2 or go all out on Iceblood. If few people defend, and the alliance split there force into 2 taking on iceblood as well as the graveyard and tower, we will lose. If we have a strong defence and the alliance don't split, we will win.
I would like to see the option of joining as a group (5 man), so friends could more easily play together, but I dislike re-allowing joining as a raid. There were reasons Blizz disallowed joining AV as a raid back in the day.
I agree that you can usually tell the outcome of the AV in the first 5 minutes or less. With few exceptions these days, the Alliance in my battlegroup (Nightfall) send 30+ people straight to the RH. Without a sizable Horde defense, the game is virtually over at this point. It's just a matter of how much you can cap as Horde before the Alliance kills Drek.
That being said, if you can get sufficient D and break their initial rush, it's game over for the Alliance. Some Horde will camp the IW pass and slaughter the returning Alliance offense for the rest of the game.
With the current Alliance prevailing strategy, it's come down to whether or not the Horde play defense at the RH or not.

How do ya like them apples!
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns delivered a powerful statement Wednesday night with a relatively subtle gesture: a three-letter addition to their uniforms.
Their jerseys said "Los Suns" — a Spanish-English combination intended to acknowledge the Cinco de Mayo holiday and, more broadly, to express opposition to Arizona's new law dealing with illegal immigrants.
An N.B.A. playoff game thus became a temporary stage for an incendiary national debate.
Although the modification to the jerseys was minor, the sentiment behind it was more forceful.
Robert Sarver, the Suns' managing partner and a Tucson native, called the new law flawed and mean-spirited and said it would hurt the state's economy. (Continue)

Male birth control methods -beyond condoms and sterilization- are like a sweet dream from which you're rudely awakened. Just as you reach out for the prize, bang it's snatched away! Not much has changed here from one generation to another but hang on – some exciting research now underway might make this dream a reality in the not so distant future.
We'll explore this topic with two viewpoints, one from a woman and the other from a man. We'd love to hear your thoughts, too, so comment below!
This post originally ran on WBUR's CommonHealth. We appreciate WBUR for giving us permission to reprint this article.
It was a typical busy morning. A flurry of people in and out of my office along with a growing stack of slides. I picked up the next slide, a pap smear.
The requisition stated "24 yo, routine pap." She had no prior history of any abnormalities. As I studied the slide, the normal cervical cells sparkled in shades of blue and pink. Together with their small uniform nuclei, this created an evenness to the slide, like a calm pond.
This FAQ is taken from HealthCare.gov which has detailed information on each topic

The littlest cuppycakes.
Little Cupcakes
7 Degraves Street
(03) 9077 0413
Little Cupcakes is one of my favourite haunts. They do mini cupcakes for $2.2, and larger ones for $4/$4.5.
I have a soft spot for Little Cupcakes. Last year, I made a special order weeks in advance for a special someone's birthday. When I got home, I realised the box contained an assortment of their cupcakes.
Assuming they had handed me the wrong box, I rang the store. They recalled taking my order and apologised that my order had been overlooked. I was quite disappointed, but I did understand mistakes happen. Besides, the cupcakes were gorgeous.
She was most insistent that I return to the store, and she would instruct the girls to do their utmost best to provide me with another set of cupcakes tailored to my specifications. I had ordered 18 cupcakes.
(Left to Right) Red Velvet, Belgian Chocolate, Blueberry White Chocolate, Cookies & Cream, Devil's Dark Chocolate, Passionfruit, Coffee
Admittedly the second set of cupcakes were not what I had requested, but it was short notice. I decided to pick up a set of gorgeous colourful birthday candles (as above) ($8.5) which they immediately told me was on the house and they proceeded to give me a full refund. (Note: they also have these pretty little Congratulations candles!) They also refused to take back the original cupcakes I had been given.
I was quite overwhelmed by the gesture as I had been quite content to accept the first set of cupcakes.
One of my all-time favourite dining companions is an avid Little Cupcakes lover, and she gleefully relieved me of the 18 cupcakes I had been presented with.
The prettiest cupcake they have made to date would have be that gorgeous Passionfruit topped with the most delicate little daisy.
Tonight was my darling sister's birthday, and naturally we celebrated it with Little Cupcakes. I look forward to celebrating more birthdays with them.

MILLWOOD — Shirlene
G. Ridgeway, 73, lost her lengthy battle with cancer on Friday, Jan. 7, 2011,
at her Millwood home surrounded by her children.
Shirlene was born Sept. 7, 1937, in Grantsville, W.Va., to Bernard G. and Gladys Marie (Champ) Bell. Shirlene, previously of Phoenix, Ariz., had lived in Knox County since her move to Ohio in 1989.
Upon her cancer diagnosis in 2003, she was told that her life expectancy was a mere 14 months. For the next seven years, Shirlene fought against her disease with courage and grace. She had immense faith in God, and believed that He must have given her an extra amount of time because He still had work here for her to do. Her children believe that her work was to encourage and give hope to others struggling with cancer and other life-limiting diseases. Shirlene was an inspiration to many through the course of her journey.
Surviving are her son, Jeffrey Alan Wilson of Andover, N.J.; daughters, Jacqueline Wilson of Millwood and Deborah Caldera of Phoenix, Ariz.; son-in-law, Andrew Caldera of Phoenix, Ariz.; and granddaughter, Sefora Caldera also of Phoenix.
Shirlene was preceded in death by her parents; and a brother, Oley B. "Skipper" Bell.
A small service is planned at the House of Salvation Church in Phoenix, Ariz., where Shirlene was a member. Shirlene's wish was that her body be donated for medical research. There will be no calling hours or funeral service. A private memorial and celebration of life will be held at her favorite park in the spring.
Memorial contributions may be made to Pelotonia, 351 W. Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, OH 43215.
The Dilley-Lasater Funeral Homes assisted the Ridgeway family with funeral arrangements.

Inspiration: Red & White Rooms for Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day brings a sea of red and white everywhere you look. So let's get inspired by a few homes decorated with the two perfectly paired colors.
When it comes to a red and white theme, are you in love or does it leave you feeling all icky inside?
• Stripes: Red and White
• Elisa's Red, White and Cozy
• Color Combo: Red, White, and Blue
• Jack Early's Pop Life Home

what a beautiful and varied collection!
In love! I'm inspired by every one of these pictures, except the striped dining room. The kitchen with the red cabinets is magnificent.
Loving the kitchen of pic #3 and the bedroom in pic #10...
(Pondering how my kitchen cabinets would appear painted red w/ new brass handles)
The fourth one scares me. A lot.
I love the red and white kitchen in the #9 though. The floor especially looks very cool.
Yeah, the fourth one is very Lynchian.
I like #9. The one with the least amount of red. Red is OK, but too much red gives me a headache.
Has anyone else noticed that Union Jack pillows are suddenly everywhere?
Love them all!!!
The stripes in #8 are really not doing it for me.
Actualy the fourth picture is from an artwork from the Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles. ( http://www.google.com/images?hl=pt-br&q=vermelho%20cildo%20meireles&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1432&bih=733 ) It stands today in a beaautiful place called Inhotim http://www.inhotim.org.br/p/v/199

Narrow your search
Qualcomm, Broadcom, Samsung, and others are working at the Khronos Group to standardize some nuts and bolts of machine vision. That should let programmers tap into the technology more easily.
If you find that your iPhone 4S, iPad 2, or new iPad struggles in low light, the Cortex Camera app can help.
Chipmaker releases some details of its forthcoming 2.5GHz Cortex A15 processor, which it says will be up to five times faster than its current architecture.
Now that news related to the iPhone 4 launch has cooled down, iPad rumors are heating up. The latest suggest a speedier and possibly smaller-screened tablet device from Apple as early as January.
Features from high-end smart phones will start leaking into cheaper handsets thanks to a new chip from ARM, the brand that powers the iPhone
An executive of the chip architecture licenser does not confirm which companies may be manufacturing subnotebooks using ARM-based semiconductors.
The new Cortex A9 core design could hit smart phones by the end of the decade and help chip makers take advantage of multicore technology with minimal power consumption.
The company's new chip, which is based on four ARM Cortex-A15 processors, is slated for widespread production in August.
The company's new Cortex-M0+ is being called the "world's most energy-efficient microprocessor" by ARM.
Ucansi will launch an app early next year that promises to boost the performance of the brain's visual cortex, thus leading to vision improvements.

How far would you go? Would you sacrifice everything? Would you go all in?
Fire, the source of being: we cling so tenaciously to the illusion that fire comes forth from the depths of the earth and that its flames grow progressively brighter as it pours along the radiant furrows of life's tillage. Lord, in your mercy you gave me to see that this idea is false, and that I must overthrow it if I were ever to have sight of you.
In the beginning was Power, intelligent, loving, energizing. In the beginning was the Word, supremely capable of mastering and moulding whatever might come into being in the world of matter. In the beginning there were not coldness and darkness: there was the Fire. This is the truth.
"In Greek the word for 'the beautiful' is to kalon. It is related to the word kalein which includes the notion of 'call'. When we experience beauty, we feel called. The Beautiful stirs passion and urgency in us and calls us forth from aloneness into the warmth and wonder if an eternal embrace. It unites us again with the neglected and forgotten grandeur of life."

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one….Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket–safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." –C.S. Lewis
After a few perfunctory questions, the crew asks Fr. Carron a question that most modern-day professional philosophers will never deign to ask: "What is the relationship between faith and reason?" This being television, the answer had to be expressed in ten seconds or less. Fr. Carron didn't need that much time. He said: "It's an encounter."
"The Catholic life is to be a "sign of contradiction" in this world. That doesn't mean we are to be nay-saying curmudgeons. Rather, it means we are to live lives of such inexplicable joy, love, faith and peace (even in trial) that all the normal categories by which non believers try to classify us won't work."

"The desire for God," the Catechism also affirms, "is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God" (No. 27). The image of the Creator is imprinted in his being and he feels the need to find a light to give an answer to the questions that have to do with the profound meaning of reality; an answer that he cannot find in himself, in progress, in empirical science. Homo religiosus does not emerge only from the ancient world, but he crosses the whole history of humanity.
What JPII was explaining was the basic ways that the modern "paradigm" (to use that word, which he didn't) is different after Descartes – that instead of ipsum esse subsistens, or the absolute transcendent being, we now think in terms of absolute transcendent knowledge. Thought, rather than existence, has become primary in the modern paradigm. Reason itself, instead of a tool, becomes the very ground from which the tower of babel must be built, as I like to say. "I think therefore I am" reverses the order of things in a way. Existence must be measured and judged against the ultimate ground of thought. And if there is a God, this paradigm suggests, then that God is not absolute transcendent love but absolute transcendent mind.
