What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph?
Okay so some of you may be familiar with The Stanford Prison Experiment. Or perhaps The Lucifer Effect. But for those who aren't: It is a psychological experiment where people are randomly divided into two groups: the prisoners and the guards. Gradually the guards seem to develop a sadistic, abusive, and vile authority over the prisoners. The guards provoke them, offend them, abuse them...etc. Consequently, the prisoners become distressed and they resort to violence as a way of rebellion.
How would you have behaved if you were a prisoner in this situation? Would evil prevail? Or would the goodness in people triumph?
I'd like to see your opinions regarding this. :)

Thanks to some pretty awesome folks on Twitter, I have gotten into the habit of defining my new year's resolutions in a new way: one word. As a rule, I generally don't buy into resolutions, although I've been known to make a few, but I really love the idea of the one word resolution – a word you will live during that year. Last year, my one word resolution was "jailbreak." Okay, sure, I was in the hospital at the time, so it had some very specific meanings to me then, but it also fit a lot of aspects of my life – my bad health, my stress level, my fear of taking risks. And the beauty of a one word resolution for me is that I don't have to remember some long thing I promised myself I'd do – I just have to keep the one word in mind when I'm faced with something that is a challenge. For example, when I came down with pneumonia in May, I vowed that I was going to break out of the jail of my asthma issues. I went to the doctor and asked for a referral to an allergist, I checked out every book on asthma I could find at the library, and I signed up to do the aspirin desensitization process that has made a big difference in my asthma issues. All by reminding myself of the word "jailbreak."
In addition, I decided it was time for me to look for a different career path, since the one I was currently on included a level of stress that was obviously affecting my health. I managed to "jailbreak" my career just in time for the new year. And I signed on to do a couple of speaking engagements this year that were definitely outside of my risk-averse comfort zone – and they went really well. I can only hope I've started myself on a path to continue exploring those passions. I've also managed to surround myself with some pretty amazing people who continually encourage me to quit thinking so much and inspire me to do, do, do! This has pushed me in some areas that I needed pushing – especially in writing – and will continue to provide some great support in the future.
So that's what my year of jailbreak looked like in 2012. What's next? Well, as my title suggests: simplify.
I have been trying to find ways to simplify our lives for awhile now. We don't have cable, I've cleaned out my closet (several times), I try to use the library instead of buying books, etc. But this year, I really want to make a commitment to living in simplicity, to enjoying experiences more than things, to paring down our house to what we really need or what we really want, and not a lot of extraneous things that we just wanted in a fleeting moment. I think Sean's on the right path to this by getting into triathlon training and buying himself really nice gear for this instead of buying lots of little, cheaper things. Since I'd like to travel more, I need to find ways to cut back in other areas to save money to do that. So I am going to remind myself whenever I am in Target and tempted by the five million things I feel the need to purchase to simplify. When I feel like going out to lunch instead of eating the lunch I packed, I'll remind myself to simplify. And when I hesitate over getting rid of that dress that I've never worn because maybe suddenly I'll want to wear it this year, I'll remember to simplify.
What is your one word for 2013?

Well last night didn't go as well as St. Louis thought it would.
San Francisco was missing Patrick Willis and Nnamdi Asomugha and they still managed to get mopped up by the struggling 49ers. Well, it didn't look like they struggled much of the last part of the game but anyways.
With a some what surprise move, the Rams have decided to deactivate running back Isaiah Pead and use rookie wide receiving Tavon Austin out of the backfield. It's pretty much going to be a Percy Harvin like role for Austin who will line up as a back and run routes from the backfield.
This could open up a number of trick plays this team could use to confuse defenses. Let's just hope it does exactly that or little Austin is going to be in for a long season.
Head coach Jeff Fisher spoke with a Rams reporter who posted the following on Twitter:

One of the coolest things God shows me everyday through this blog is where people from around the world check in with us to read the latest Christian music news. One of those amazing places is South Africa where in the last month close to 40 people have checked in. Some of the cities represented are Cape Town, Pertoria, Durban, and Port Elizabeth just to name a few. I'm also thankful that God continues to use this blog everyday to bless not only people in South Africa, but China, the United Kingdom, India, Australia and Brazil. If you're checking in today from one of these cities in South Africa or another country please leave a comment about what God is dong in your life today. I think all of us would be blessed to know more about you. Now, on with the news about Underoath and their upcoming world tour which includes a stop in South Africa.
Underoath will land in South Africa this September and perform with several top South African bands around the country from September 22nd to the 28th.
They'll perform in three shows in Gauteng, Kwazulu Natal and Cape Town. Before they hit the road for the next year Chris dropped us this e-mail…

I fear thee, ancient Mariner ! I fear thy skinny hand ! (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
September 20 2006
You have to
wonder if maybe Jamie Moyer is the guy on the Phillies who best understands
how close the team is to the playoffs and how far they have to go. Late in
his magnificent start last night, you saw the 43-year-old Moyer sprint for a
ball that had already bounded foul by about five feet down the third base
line. I couldn't help but wonder if Moyer had something more to offer his
teammates than a big performance at a big time. Be excellent when your team
needs you, yes. Be unhittable if you can, and give up a run every
seven innings or so. But even if you can't, keep playing. Cause
there's a lot of different ways to win in this game. You don't need to
throw the ball 94 miles an hour or hit it 450 feet. And if you can
just keep playing, you can keep the game alive long enough to create another chance and another big moment.
Last night the Phillies won without throwing the ball 94 miles an hour or hitting it 450 feet. After two of their better hitters struck out with the bases loaded and two outs to end an inning early in the game, they found a different way. David Dellucci, for the second time in two starts, broke a 0-0 tie with a big hit, this time an RBI-double in the fifth. And then, again with two outs and the bases loaded, Abraham Nunez, struggling through a miserable season, looped a single into right field that would bring in all of the runs the Phillies would need.
The Phillies beat the Cubs 4-1 last night. The win improves their record on the season to 78-73. The Phils are, and will likely stay, in second place in the NL East. With a win by the Padres and a loss by the Dodgers, San Diego once again leads the NL West. Los Angeles retakes the Wild Card lead, one game ahead of the Phillies. The Wild Card race is down to the Phils, Padres and Dodgers. Chuck Dressen said it best: "The Giants is dead." Just keep an eye out for Bobby Thomson.
Jamie Moyer got the start for the Phillies and gave the Phillies the excellent start they needed. He went seven innings, allowing just one run on six hits. Two of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and a home run. He did not walk a batter.
Moyer set the Cubs down 1-2-3 in the first.
Matt Murton led off the second with a single, but Moyer got Jacque Jones to ground into a double-play. Blanco grounded out to short to end the inning.
In the third, Ronny Cedeno led off with a double. Moyer set down the next three to leave him stranded with the score still 0-0.
Ryan Theriot led off the fourth with a single off the glove of a diving Dellucci in right. Ramirez was next and he flew to Burrell for the first out. With Matt Murton at the plate, Theriot stole second as Coste attempted yet another throw from his knees. That really doesn't work. Maybe time to give it a shot standing up? Murton hit a ground ball up the middle that bounced over Moyer's head, but Utley made a nice play to get Murton as Theriot went to third. Moyer got up on Jones 0-2 but hit him, putting runners on first and third with two down for Henry Blanco. Blanco popped out to Utley in short right to end the inning.
Moyer got the first two in the fifth before the pitcher Miller singled into center. Moyer got Pierre to ground to second to end the inning.
With two outs in the sixth, Matt Murton hit a solo home run that cut the Phillies lead to 3-1. Jones grounded to short to end the inning.
Blanco led off the seventh with a single and went to second on a bunt by Cedeno. Geovany Soto struck out for the second out of the inning. Lefty Freddie Bynum hit for the pitcher and grounded to first base to end the inning.
Aaron Fultz came in to pitch in the eighth with the Phillies hanging on to a 3-1 lead and Pierre due to bat. The Cubs had two lefties in their lineup, Pierre and Jones. With Pierre leading off it looks like the guy in the inning who could really hurt you is Jones in the five-hole, cause if he comes up in the inning there's ducks aboard. So the question is really who pitches to Pierre, Fultz or Smith, and whoever the answer is the other guy will be pitching to Jones if it comes to that. You know if you throw a 1-2-3 inning in the eighth, or even allow one man to reach, you won't have to face Jones until the ninth when Gordon will be on the mound anyway. The Phillies went with Fultz against Pierre and no doubt would have brought in Smith to face Jones if it had come to that in the eighth. I'm just not sure how to interpret that in terms of whether it means Manuel has more confidence in Fultz or Smith at this point. Anyway, Pierre led off with a single. Geary came on to pitch to the righty Theriot and quickly got behind him 3-0. More classic Geary, at least for this year. Instead of walking Theriot he challenged him twice. First getting strike one and then getting him to fly to right for the first out of the inning. In all honesty I think Geary's gotten away with the way he's pitched this year because he's given up a ton of hits by challenging all these guys but been able to keep his home runs down. Whatever he's doing, he's been tremendous. With Aramis Ramirez, he of the two home runs and seven RBI yesterday, at the plate as the tying run, Pierre stole second. Really he did. Coste didn't get him but he at least stood up to throw, so let's call that baby step number one. Pierre's play proved to be a work of mad genius when Ramirez hit a ground ball back to Geary, which likely would have been an inning-ending double-play had Pierre been at first. Murton grounded to short to end the inning.
Gordon came on to pitch the ninth. He struck out Jacque Jones to start the inning before giving up a double down the third base line to Blano. Cedeno flew out to Bourn in right for the second out and Flash struck out Mabry to end the game. For Gordon it was his 32nd save on the year.
The Phillies lineup against righty Wade Miller went (1) Rollins (2) Victorino (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Dellucci (6) Burrell (7) Coste (8) Nunez. Still no Lieberthal as Coste catches Moyer. Conine on the bench as Dellucci plays right. Manuel again puts three lefties in a row.
Jimmy Rollins led off the first with a single. Victorino followed and struck out. With Utley at the plate, Rollins stole second and went to third when Rollins grounded out. Howard walked and Dellucci was hit by a pitch, loading the bases for Pat Burrell. Burrell struck out looking on a 3-2 pitch.
After Coste flew out to start the second, Nunez drew a walk and Moyer bunted him to second. Rollins struck out to end the inning.
Miller struck out the side in the third, mowing down Victorino, Utley and Howard.
In the fourth, Dellucci struck out and Burrell flew to center to start the inning. Coste singled and Nunez and Moyer both walked to load the bases for Rollins. Rollins struck out to end the inning.
Victorino flew to center and Utley grounded out to second to start the fifth. Howard followed with a single to left and Dellucci hit a double to center, scoring Howard to put the Phillies up 1-0. For Dellucci, it was the second time in two starts he got the hit that put the Phillies on top in a 0-0 tie. On Saturday his seventh inning home run off of Jason Hirsh put the Phils up 1-0 in Houston. Burrell followed with a walk and Coste reached on an error by the shortstop Cedeno to load the bases with two down for Nunez. Nunez singled, scoring Burrell and Dellucci to put the Phillies up 3-0. Moyer was next and grounded to first to end the inning. A huge hit for Nunez, who is doing a great job of late in a season in which he's been awful.
Utley singled with two outs in the sixth, but Howard struck out to end the inning.
Dellucci struck out to leadoff the seventh with the Phillies up 3-1. Burrell was next and walked. Manuel called on Michael Bourn to pinch-run for Burrell. Coste flew out on a ball well hit into center, Pierre made a nice play to track it down for the second out. With Nunez at the plate, Bourn stole second and went to third when Soto threw the ball further away from second base than one would typically expect. It was the first career stolen base for Bourn. With two down and Bourn at second, Nunez struck out to end the inning.
Randall Simon led off the eighth, pinch-hitting for Geary, and flew out to left. Rollins followed with a home run, his 22nd on the year, which put the Phillies up 4-1. Victorino flew to left for the second out of the inning, but Utley followed with a double to center. With Chris Roberson now hitting behind Howard, the Cubs predictably walked Howard intentionally and retired Roberson to end the inning. The stuff about protecting Howard is a little overblown, but Chris Roberson's probably not the guy for the job at this point.
Rollins was 2-for-5 with a home run. He's on-basing .278 in his last 80 at-bats.
Victorino was 0-for-5. He's on-basing .315 in his last 82 at-bats.
Utley was 2-for-5 with a double. He' s on-basing .314 in his last 72 at-bats. I'm just saying.
Howard was 1-for-3 with two strikeouts and walked twice. He's on-basing .573 and slugging .915 in his last 59 at-bats.
Dellucci was 1-for-3 with an RBI-double and two strikeouts. He has two big hits in his last two starts, but he's still been miserable of late. He can really help the Phillies if he can get going and hit righties. He's at 200/368/333 in just 30 at-bats in September. He still should be playing instead of Conine against just about all the righties the Phils face.
Burrell was 0-for-2 with a big strikeout and two walks. He has two extra-base hits in his last 46 at-bats.
Coste was 1-for-4 with a single. He hit a ball hard that Pierre made a nice play on as well. He started the first two games of the series for the Phillies and the Cubs stole five bases without getting caught.
Nunez was 1-for-2 with a huge single and two-RBI. He also walked twice. In September he's hitting 273/418/341.
Brett Myers will face 29-year-old lefty Les Walrond, not Juan Mateo, tonight. Mateo has a sore back. Walrond has appeared in seven games for the Cubs this season, making one start. In his 10 2/3 innings with the Cubs this year, righties are hitting .394 against him. In 20 starts at Triple-A in the PCL he went 10-5 with a 3.99 ERA, allowing 134 hits and striking out 104 in 133 1/3 innings.

Sharia: The Islamic Threat to America
We recently commemorated the 10th anniversary of the tragic attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the hijacking and then crash of Flt. 93 in Pennsylvania. We must never forget the 3,000 innocent victims of those attacks or the pain and suffering that their families still endure.
Beyond that, however, it is also critically important that we confront and defeat those who were behind those and many other attacks. To that end, our program this week focuses on three questions:
• Who is our enemy?
• What is their doctrine?
• What is their objective?
To help answer these questions, we have invited national security expert Michael del Rosso to join us for a special examination of the Islamic doctrine and Shariah law that have driven men to kill innocent people for over 1400 years -- and who continue to do so today.
We will also expose Islamic organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood who are operating inside the United States, whose goals contradict American values, whose actions undermine our Constitution, and who seek global domination through both violent and non-violent jihad.
Finally, we will ask what our government is doing, or not doing, to confront and defeat those who are behind these attacks both here at home and abroad.
Mr. del Rosso is a Research Fellow at the Claremont Institute and a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC. He is also co-author of a recent book entitled Shariah: The Threat to America.

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. — Scott Proctor's recovery from ligament-transplant elbow surgery is so far ahead of schedule, Braves manager Bobby Cox believes the veteran setup man might be ready at the start of the season.
Cox offered that information after watching Proctor's 50-pitch bullpen session Saturday.
"He's still on a rehab schedule, but you'd never know it," Cox said of the right-hander, who missed the 2009 season while recovering from May '09 surgery, his second elbow operation in 19 months.
Cox thinks Proctor, who had consecutive 83-appearance seasons in 2006 (Yankees) and 2007 (Yankees, Dodgers), could be ready to compete for a spot in a Braves bullpen that's loaded with more power arms than in recent seasons.
"He's going to have plenty of time," to compete this spring, Cox said. "We'll get him out there as much as we can…. He's up to 50 pitches off the mound – hard [pitches]. He's throwing changeups, stuff like that. He's maybe two weeks behind.
"If you talk to him, he [says] he's ready to go."
Proctor's situation is similar to Peter Moylan's a year ago, when the Aussie sidearmer came to camp in the late stages of recovery from May 2008 ligament-transplant surgery, commonly known as Tommy John surgery.
Recovery is typically 12-13 months, but Moylan pitched in spring games and made the opening-day roster 11 months after surgery. He went on to post a 2.84 ERA in a franchise-record 87 appearances.
"[Proctor] is throwing a little harder than Pete was at this time last year," Cox said.
Proctor, 33, was one of baseball's best (and most-used) relievers during 2006-2007, posting a 3.58 ERA in 188-2/3 innings in that workhorse stretch. He had a 6.05 ERA in 41 appearances in '08 before going on the disabled list for flexor-tendon surgery.
Florida signed him after that season in hopes he'd be ready to pitch in 2009. But after repeated setbacks, he had Tommy John surgery.
The Braves signed him in November to a minor-league deal that pays a prorated portion of $750,000 for time on the major league roster. The contract also includes incentives for appearances, starting at 10 games and increasing to a maximum of $250,000 for 50 games.
If he makes the team as quickly as Cox thinks he might, it could mean the difference between Proctor becoming a free agent after the 2010 season instead of waiting another year.
He'd be eligible for free agency if he's on the major league roster for all but three or fewer weeks this season.

Great news, DOB. Thanks for the update.
Man, we really do have a ton of power arms in the 'pen this year! Feeling pretty good about the entire pitching staff heading into ST.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - A huge sigh of relief likely came over the Saints as the news was reported that the 2014 NFL salary cap will be higher than originally projected.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the cap will increase 5 percent or $ 7million over last year's cap in 2014. That $130 million figure is $4 million more than the projected $126 million. And for a team as tight up against the mark as the Saints, every little bit helps.
According to overthecap.com, the fresh figures put the Saints at $5.1 million under the cap. That won't be enough to budget for Jimmy Graham's franchise tag or their restricted free agent tenders. But at least it softens the blow.
Before the reported increase, it looked like they would have to part ways with more core veterans to balance their bottom line. Now it appears those veterans cap casualties may be kept to an absolute minimum. I still think even with the new cap figures another veteran could be on their way out, but not much more than that. They may not have to get rid of any more players if they can get a few others to restructure (i.e. Ben Grubbs, Marques Colston or Jahri Evans.)
The new reported salary cap figures won't solve their entire fiscal constraints but ultimately it will save the Saints from being forced to make more tough decisions than they would like.

Living a 'We' Life
- Monday, April 14, 2003
Not long ago I received a phone call that momentarily sent my heart leaping out my throat. On the other end of the phone I heard the nearly frantic voice of my 16-year-old daughter telling me she hit a patch of ice in the road, causing her to quickly slide into the opposing ditch, resulting in the car rolling over.
Even though she assured me she was okay, I envisioned blood pouring down her face, a broken leg, or even worse. Almost immediately I felt in my spirit the Lord reminding me that even though I wasn't able to get to her right away, He was there with her.
This was evidenced to me as she told me of the accident. "We suddenly began sliding to the other side of the road. Then we almost stopped. But then we started sliding down into the ditch. It was then that we rolled over. I thought the windshield was going to come in on top of us, but we are okay."
My first question was naturally, "Who is with you?"
Not even noticing that she said "we" repeatedly, she seemed a bit perplexed by my question.
I began to wonder if she was so used to the presence of the Lord in her life that she lived a "we" life; a life where she knows that she is never alone.
Even though I couldn't immediately reach her, I was comforted knowing that she was being watched.
When I was finally able to talk with her in person the first words out of her mouth were, "As soon as I stopped rolling and saw that I was okay, I said, 'Thank you Lord!'"
Upon hearing that I sent up my own, "Thank you Lord!" Tears of joy came to my eyes as I thought of the verse, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." -- 3 John 1:4
God had given me a glimpse of His influence in the life of my daughter. He showed me that she was indeed living a "we" life.
Earlier this week I was given another glimpse of God at work in her life. As most average teens tend to be, Ashley had plans for her day when a call came in that required her assistance immediately. The first need was for instant prayer. A friend of hers had an accident resulting in her being life-flighted to a major city. This meant that there was no one to tend the friend's horses. She has quite an extensive herd that requires a full days worth of chores. Ashley was the only one available who could answer the call to help. She didn't even hesitate to help.
When I spoke with her, again the verse from 3 John caused tears in my eyes as she said to me, "Mom, I am one of the few Christian influences in their lives. I want them to know Jesus, by knowing me. For me to stay here and do their chores is the Christian thing to do."

The Florida Panthers are not going to make the playoffs this year. While they aren't mathematically eliminated yet, it seems like it's only a matter of time until they fall below that cutoff. Don't expect a fire sale to ensure as the regular season winds down toward the trade deadline.
Interim head coach Peter Horachek spoke to George Richards of The Miami Herald and expressed his desire to keep the team intact:
I don't really want any draft picks. They don't do me any good. I want to win these games, I want the guys to care about winning these games. I want the guys to put it on the line whether we have an opportunity or mathematically out. I want to make sure we care about winning these games.
That's some strong phrasing from Horachek, but general manager Dale Tallon seems to be of the same mind. As per the Herald:
We're going to do what's best for the Panthers to build a championship team. We're not blowing this thing up. If we can sell some assets to get better, we'll do that. It depends what happens in the next few weeks. We'll be aggressive either way.
That sets up an interesting situation for the Panthers heading into the trade deadline. They brought three players in during training camp on a tryout basis—Tim Thomas, Brad Boyes and Tom Gilbert—and signed all three to one-year pacts. The trio have been solid in their own ways, and Tallon could hypothetically move them for a solid return.
It doesn't seem that the manager or coach have any intentions of breaking down the Panthers though.

Domination of Croatian companies on Deloitte's Adria Top 100 list
Adria Top 100
Croatian companies dominate by number on the annual Adria Top 100 list by Deloitte. This year's list has 35 companies from Croatia, followed by 31 company from Slovenia, 23 from Serbia, six from Bosnia-Herzegovina, four from Macedonia and one from Montenegro. Leading place on the regional list is held by Croatian Agrokor Group, which had more than 3.6 billion euro revenue from sales in 2009. Agrokor is followed by another Croatian representative, INA Group, which had more than 2.7 billion euro revenue from sales. Among the Top 10 companies are (by order on the list): Mercator Group, Petrol Group, Delta, EPS, HEP Group, Revoz, NIS and Gorenje Group. It can be concluded that the leading positions are taken by companies from energy and resources industry, and retail. Slovenian automobile manufacturer Revoz is the only manufacturing company among Top 10 players in the region.
Retail companies have most representatives on the list, and the most significant percentage share when considering revenue from sales (35 per cent), showing thus this industry's resilience towards economic turmoil that left its mark on the region during the last year. Largest number of Croatian companies (13) belongs to retail sector, while Slovenian companies dominate by number in manufacturing, and Serbian companies in energy and resources.
"Revenue from sales in 2009 have fallen by 12 percent when comparing to the previous year. This is obviously the result of slower economic activities as a reflection of the global economy crisis, but also of the depreciation of some local currencies in relation to Euro," says Vladimir Milošević, Partner in Deloitte. Most significant drop in revenue from sales is visible in manufacturing, 23.7 percent.
Deloitte has also published list of the Top 10 companies by net profit, which shows significantly different picture of the regional leading players than Adria Top 100. Leading on this list are two telecomm operators, HT Group and Telekom Serbia. HT Group had net profit of 276 million Euro in 2009.

Ryo Hazuki's leather jacket. The hoodie from Insert Coin is awesome… but a proper leather jacket would be amazing.
Other than that, I wouldn't mind a stealth suit from Metal Gear Solid, but I doubt that were the technology not only possible but also worked really well, anybody would actually be willing to let me have one.
I would use my £10 voucher, if I won, to help fund for this http://www.insertcoinclothing.com/shirts/bsaa-special-operations.html . I have been looking for something to go out in that still allows me to be nerdy.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I'm so glad we discovered this product - it looks discreet but beautiful and elegant! We're absolutely happy with it! Customer service was also great and helpful! Thanks again! And the cards arrived really fast to Switzerland! We'll definitely order again!"
"We ordered samples of this design and loved them. The style was exactly what we were looking for in our invitation suite: simple and classic so that it can be formal without being ornate. We ordered the save-the-dates in the Burgundy color and were very pleased. The paper has a great weight and thickness to it, and the print quality was perfect. The included envelopes were of equally good quality. Everything arrived in a nice William Arthur box, which has been great to store and protect the cards and extras. I had many compliments from our guests on the save-the-dates. We are about to order our invitations in this same style!"
"These Save the Dates are just absolute perfection. They are classic and sophisticated. The paper quality is excellent and the charcoal font color looks beautiful against the creamy paper. The customer service at Wedding Paper Divas was exceptional. I could not be happier with my Save the Dates!"
"The card was easily customized and we have received so many compliments from recipients on the quality of the paper and printing."
"As one who can be prone to be a perfectionist, I was absolutely delighted to receive my save the date cards. The design is lovely, stylish, and formal. I took the decision to only order the save the date cards so that I could check the quality. After seeing the cards, I have no hesitation in ordering the remainder of my cards from Wedding Paper Divas. I do not live in the US and can also confirm that the goods were shipped to me and arrived in perfect condition. They were packed with care and boxed to perfection."

Withholding judgment because of grace
May 10, 2011
And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!"
Mark 11:8-10
Every now and then, someone will walk up to me and say, "Pastor, I don't like going to church because there are so many hypocrites in the church today!" And every time someone says that to me, they say it like it's the first time I've ever heard it!
But if you want to know what real hypocrisy is, take a look at the crowds worshipping Jesus when he entered Jerusalem. As long as he looked like he could do something for them—as long as everything was going well—they patted him on the back and said "We're all for you!"
But just a few days later, when his popularity ran out and Jesus was arrested, where did they go? They left like rats from a sinking ship. And if you and I had been there that day, we'd have probably run away right behind them.
It can be easy to judge others when you and I look at the Scriptures. But the reality is that your sin, my sin, and their sin were equally culpable of putting Jesus on the cross. So whenever you have the urge to judge others, remember that it's God's grace alone that protects you from that same sin.

"One-Georgia" funding means more jobs for one south Georgia town.
Governor Roy Barnes and the One-Georgia Authority awarded the Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority a $201,000 grant to develop a 23-acre incubator site in the Lake Park Industrial center.
"We hope this money will help us market to smaller businesses without disturbing our larger businesses in the park and bring more jobs into the Lake Park area," said Ken Garren, Director of the Lake Park Industrial Park.
The money will be used to develop eight sites, ranging in size from two-to-four acres.

Although details are vague, there's one thing for sure, Blackberry has achieved a shit load of press in the last few weeks. Last week it was the Bold, or the Blackberry 9000, now it's a rumored ultra powerful touchscreen device called the Thunder, or Blackberry 9500. According to Electronista it will boast the 'most technically advanced cellular wireless support ever', and will include support for CDMA, GSM, 3.5G and 4 wireless connectivity (this will include EVDO and HSDPA for each respective frequency). Furthermore, the Blackberry Thunder is rumored to contain no soft keys with the exception of call, answer, Blackberry and escape keys. In light of Verizon's recent 'open network plan' rumor has it that they'd be the ones to nab the device and further align their strategy.
When will we hear official details? The rumor mill says this Summer, but don't bank on it.

Pinellas schools returning M-16 assault rifles10/01/14K12
The Pinellas County schools police department, which last month defended the purchase of 28 M-16s for its officers, is returning the assault rifles to a federal government surplus program.
School Board Chairwoman Carol Cook said Wednesday the board should have known about the purchase beforehand, instead of reading about it after the fact in a Tampa Bay Times article.

Pinellas charter schools come under scrutiny09/18/14K12
LARGO — The point of charter schools is to do better for students. They have the freedom to think outside the box, innovating with longer school days or years, gender-segregated classrooms and more, all in the name of providing better options for children than the traditional system can.
But four Pinellas County charter schools came under fire this week from the School Board after standardized test scores indicated subpar student performance....
Pinellas schools buy assault rifles from military surplus program09/17/14K12
The Pinellas County School District has purchased 28 M-16 assault rifles from the federal government and is preparing to assign them to school police officers in the coming weeks, the chief of the police unit said Wednesday.
The district is one of at least 120 education organizations, including the University of South Florida, that have received military gear as part of a Defense Department program that came under increased scrutiny in August after the heavily armed police response to tensions in Ferguson, Mo....
Too many Pinellas graduates not ready for college classes, SPC official says09/16/14Education
LARGO — The boards governing St. Petersburg College and Pinellas County schools do not meet often, so Tuesday's joint meeting was supposed to be informational and pleasant, until it wasn't.
Riding the elevator up to the meeting at school district headquarters, SPC trustee and former chairman Deveron Gibbons said he planned to break up "the love fest."
Sitting down, he told the School Board and superintendent Mike Grego, "We get a whole bunch of students who are ill-prepared for college from the Pinellas County school system. … Some of these kids who are passing through the school system are not ready for college. "...

Pinellas plans to expand Children's Initiative in troubled schools08/16/14K12
The picture has long been bleak at Fairmount Park Elementary, a squat campus painted white in the heart of Midtown St. Petersburg. It is one thing to be an F school; it is another thing to be Fairmount Park, where so few students can pass reading tests that the state education department recently named it the second-worst school in Florida.
So it may surprise some that Pinellas school officials say there is a success story hidden within the chronically failing school — lessons that will now be applied to five low-achieving elementary schools in St. Petersburg....
Pinellas to review its charter school contracts after East Windsor 'calamity'08/15/14K12
The Pinellas County School District is going to review how it contracts with charter schools after a St. Petersburg charter held a new lottery and kicked students out days before the start of the school year.
Dot Clark, the district official who coordinates charter school applications, said East Windsor Middle Academy did not violate its charter because the contract doesn't specify when or how many times a lottery may be held....
Pinellas charter school leaves parents searching for spots08/14/14K12
Dozens of Pinellas families are scrambling to find schools for their children after a St. Petersburg charter school abruptly held a new lottery for admission just four days before the first day of school.
East Windsor Middle Academy emailed parents on Wednesday evening that construction on its middle school building wouldn't be finished by Monday, and that a temporary location could serve only 65 students....

"No..that's not what I want at all. Cause I know as soon as I let you walk out that door I'll never see you again and I can't lose you again…" All Scout wanted to do right in that moment was lean over the table and just kiss Peter. Maybe that would let him see how much it would hurt if he lost him again. It could very well kill him. But all he did was lean forward a little. "My mother use to say that if you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were…" He paused for a second and just watched Peter. The way he breathed, the way his lip would twitch slightly before he'd lick them. It was the little things about him that made him fall in love with him in the first place.
After a little bit he looked down at the table. "You came back to me…and I'm willing to wait for how ever long I have to for this to become and us again..or for us to just stay friends…I just need something…I need you in some way.." He bit down at his lip, keeping his gaze fixed on the table.
Peter took in a deep breath. "Scout, that's.. you found me. I didn't come back. There's a difference. I think.. I think you'e already lost me, I'm sorry." Peter knew that Scout loved him, and he was pretty sure he may still have feelings for Scout, ones that he never rally got over, but god, he had no idea what was going on. Things were so different now. He'd changed. A lot.
"I'll.. I'll stay at your house for the weekend then. Or.. Or something. I don't know. I'll be your friend Scout, but I don't know about anything else."
Scout jumped slightly when Peter snapped and started berating him. "I tired moving on. After you left I decided to give Dodger another shot. And that didn't work out. All I could ever think of was you. I even fooled myself into thinking that I was over you when I got married. Turns out I wasn't and now the Jamie pretty much hates me because I pretty much tricked him into naming him Peter. Sure it's also his father name but he knows now that I didn't pick it because of that reason. " He did his best to keep his voice down and not draw attention to them. "I care because no matter how hard I try I still love you. I'm always going to love you. I'm always going to want to be with you. I care because you don't know how much it hurt not knowing what happened to you after you left. You could have been dead for all I knew. I care because you're my sunshine and you always will be. " He paused for a second, looking down at the table. "I could never hate you. No matter what you've done to me in the past. Hell you could pull out a knife and stab me right now and I wouldn't hate you."
Peter went quiet and looked down at his feet. "Scout, I.. I just," he went silent and looked down at his hands. He didn't know what was going on. He was so confused. Embarrassed. Terrified. Maybe could lie about this? "Um," he said quietly before clearing his throat. "Scout, I…. I'm.." What? I'm dating someone? I have a girlfriend? I'm just not sure this is the best thing? There were so many things he wanted to say because mainly he was terrified about all of this. He licked his lips and took in a deep breath.
"I don't know if I can ever date anyone, or.. or anything like that, Scout. Things are really hard for me. Things have changed and.. I just." He closed his eyes and shook his head lightly. "Maybe you and I should… stop. I.. Maybe this is an awful idea. I'm sorry. I never… I shouldn't.. I'll stay away from you, if you want me to." He was the reason Scout had lost his marriage and… it was just.. insane.
Scout was about to tell Peter that he didn't have to answer the question but as soon as he opened his mouth to answer. Maybe a year? The answer made him cringe. He couldn't see how anyone would want to subject themselves to that kind of life. He began to feel a little sick to his stomach as Peter talked about things getting bad but they weren't all that awful. After a few seconds of sadly watching Peter he cleared his throat, keeping his gaze focused on him. "You can have a family with out 'growing up'. You know that right? It's not necessarily have children or getting married. All a family is is having people around that care about you. And you've got that…" He reached out, touching Peter's hand. It was only there for a few seconds before he removed it.
"I just wish you'd see it." He added with a small sad smile.
"Of course, Scout. I knew that. I still have friends and stuff like that. Since I haven't heard from any of my old friends, I made new ones. People care about me, I know that," he was blatantly lying and pulling things out of his ass now, but he just wanted to avoid the conversation. Scout had touched his hand and it just made him snap.
"Scout, why do you care? Honestly? I hurt you. I cheated on you with Dodger, your ex of all people, and then I left. Broke our engagement off and everything. Why the hell do you still care? You should hate me by now. I don't understand you."
Scout just sat there in silence as Peter spoke. He wasn't even sure what to say at this point. It seemed like everything he was saying was only making the situation worse. So all he was going to do right now was listen. He looked a little shocked when Peter admitted to sleeping on park benches. It also hurt him to hear that. "Peter…" He said lowly, looking over up at him. He wanted to reach out for him but decided against it. "..how long have you been homeless?" He wasn't sure if him asking this would piss Peter off or not. He also wasn't even sure if he'd actually answer it.
Peter just went quiet as Scout asked him how long this had been going on. He honestly had no clue. He stammered a bit and lowered his head. This was degrading. The red head ran his hands through his hair, gripping at some pieces of it to untangle. "I.. don't know. Maybe a year? I was okay in LA for a bit and then things… got bad, I guess. It works, though. It's not all that awful. Plus having a home and a family? Not really for me. No offense. I'm not that sorta guy, you know?"
"Ew, Peter stop talking." Scout said making a fake gagging sound, covering his ears for a moment. He was teasing, sort of. It still stung that Peter had cheated on him with one of their teachers. It didn't matter if they weren't together. "To be honest I'm not at all surprised that you don't remember it. Not everyone is going to remember most of the crazy shit they've done. It's impossible." He kept quite when Peter rebutted him calling his lifestyle dramatic. From the way Peter looked it didn't really seem as fun and easygoing as he was claiming it to be.
He nodded when he was asked about it having a bed. "Um, sort of. It's more of a rebutted. Jamie left it when he left and it seemed like a waste if I just tossed it or something so I stuffed it into the spare room." He started playing with the edge of the table, tracing some of the words that people had carved into the side of it for some reason or another. "You wont be a burden…but I'm not going to push the offer on you…if you wanna stay you can if you don't then you don't have to." He looked up from the table for a second before looking away again. "Just know the offer is there.." He stopped almost mid-sentence, feeling a little bad for what he said. "…I didn't mean it like that. I can handle it if it's coming from you…I just don't think I can handle it from my son. God I should just stop talking." He mumbled the last part to himself.
Peter felt even more frustrated. He had a great memory of everything he'd ever done. Why was it suddenly failing on him? He took in a sharp breath and closed his eyes. "Fuck, fuck, Scout. You're….. making me confused. I think even the thought of you being here is wigging me out." Things were so confusing, but he was being offered a place to stay. It was such a weird situation. "I… fine. Is it okay? I.. I just.." He looked down at his hands and closed his eyes.
"If you want me gone, I'll leave. I just… I'm sort of exhausted from sleeping on a park bench for the past two weeks." He paused and then made a frustrated noise. He wasn't planning on saying anything, honestly and then it just slipped out. Why was he so stupid? "Not.. I.. Fuck."
"The man had one hand! That alone was just disturbing." Scout said making a slight face. "I'm not making the second part up. I swear you told me about it when I got to the school. It happened before me or something I don't exactly remember." He stopped for a second, eating another fry. "I didn't say that it was a crime or anything…I just don't think I could deal with all of the drama and crap that comes with that type of life style….y'know?"
He looked away for a second as Peter talked about only playing music to get money for things and a place to stay. He didn't know exactly what stuff he was referring to but he had an idea. He wasn't about to ask about it right now though. "I know you'll probably turn this down but I've got an extra room free at my apartment…if you ever wanted to crash there or something.."
"Okay, even for one hand, the guy knew how to use it. It was fun. I mean, sex is nice. Age is only really a number anyhow," he commented with a nonchalant shrug. As Scout talked more about this jumping ordeal, he realized his mind was completely blank. "Oh man, I honestly don't remember any of that. Crazy." Peter shrugged and then finished up his burger before closing his eyes happily. "I don't think my life is dramatic. It's fun and easygoing."
Peter looked up from his drink as Scout offered him a place to stay. He had stayed with strangers here and there, or people he had sex with sometimes, but this was a friend. An ex offering him a place. He just stared silently before clearing his throat. "I… maybe," he said softly, only to take in a deep breath. "I don't want… I just… Do you have like.. an actual bed?" It'd been about two weeks since he'd actually slept on a real bed. It'd be comfortable.
"I don't want to be a burden." He paused, realizing how completely mature he sounded and cringed. "I mean, my life style is 'dramatic' so I don't think you want to be around me anyhow."
Scout wrinkles his nose, smiling at Peter's words. "Let's hope he doesn't have as fun of a time as you did or do. I don't need him sleeping with one of his teachers or try to fly by jumping from a window." He laughed lowly as he reached for his fish sandwich, taking a few bites. He hoped that what he had just said wouldn't upset Peter or anything. He was just teasing. That's what friends did, right? "I'd like to keep the emergency room visits to a minimum." He added before taking a drink of his sweet tea.
He was quite as Peter began talking again. Technically Peter was also an adult but he knew better than to try and argue that point with the redhead. Sometime things were just better left unsaid. But more time than not those things were the first things brought up in an argument sometime down the road. "Excuse me?" Scout raised a brow as Peter talked about him and how he was more than likely not dealing with music anymore. "I still play, and I guarantee I'm better than you are, sunshine." He said with a laugh, sticking his tongue out.
Peter wrinkled his nose at distaste of the conversation. "James was amazing, so shut up, and secondly, I don't even recall that last one. I think you're making that up." He smiled softly after laughing, understanding that he was teasing, though the issue still didn't settle well with him. It made him extremely uncomfortable. The way he made Peter sound.. it was just weird. "I just live my life by having fun. No one can stop me. There's no crime against that."
Peter just awkwardly shifted as Scout got all playfully defensive about his music. It was a relief, honestly. He was glad that Scout was still doing his music thing. That was great to hear, honestly. "Okay, well jeeze. I'm not.. claiming to be amazing. It's just money for.. uhm.." Well he couldn't entirely just admit to being a drug addict. "Stuff… like uh.. a place to stay sometimes." How could he just admit to being homeless in front of his ex? This was such an awful idea.
The last song? Um… Hollywood by Marina and the Diamonds. It sounds kind of awkward on a guitar, but barely anyone knows the song so it doesn't matter. I haven't played it publicly yet.
My life was going too fast and I realized college was for boring adults, and I am not either one of those descriptions.

Coach Design Competition
Written by: Joel Harding
In the Fashion student's junior year, one is inundated with design competitions. Each contest has different requirements and potential prizes, some include trips to Europe, and others offer scholarships.
The hand-bag design competition with Coach was a new one this spring, which offered BFA, and AAS students in their junior or senior years a chance to design 8-10 handbags using Coach's materials, hardware and silhouette. The task was to re-interpret a Coach classic: the leather duffle bag. This bag is a plain one-strap shoulder carryall for women.
My 10-bag collection was designed around the idea of the golden ratio and scientific beauty found in the natural world. Each bag I designed was measured out to fit numbers included in the Fibonacci sequence, and the color palette was derived from wild flowers.
This past semester, I changed my personal focus from womenswear to accessory design. Accessory design is a brand new focus area within the fashion department, so it is a very exciting, ground-breaking time.
With my personal specialization being in handbags and shoes, when I heard about the Coach Competition I immediately started sketching. Following the first round of design submissions, The Coach design team selected their top 5 candidates who were invited into the coach offices on 34th street to participate in the manufacturing of 1 of their 10 designs. The process was a dream come true for any design student- having the ability to see your design come to life and working side by side with the talented pattern makers and hand-bag engineers of a global company such as Coach allowed me to really see the complete design process from start to finish.
The process involved multiple creative team meetings. We worked on developing patterns, drafts and lots of problem solving. This included an hour-long discussion about how to realize a particularly tricky part of the strap I had designed! I had to communicate the strap vision from my sketches to the engineers, which was quite a challenging process. I wanted the strap to float seamlessly, and free of rivets, which as you can see from the photos, turned out perfectly. Thank you to the Coach team of three designers and two bag-engineers, who helped create my vision, which resulted in my winning the competition.
For me this process, and the subsequent internship at Coach has re-enforced my goal to be an accessory designer. I continue to learn how the industry functions with this on the job training and guidance over the summer months.
Creative Director Reed Krakoff is a wonderful mentor, and I would be overjoyed to follow his career path leaving Parsons. However, my focus for now is on finishing my senior year in school, and creating and producing my thesis collection. But you can be certain I'll be including hand-bags!
