Language, Faith, and Fiction
Rowan Williams
Baylor University Press, $24.95, 290 pp.
One of the problems with Dostoevsky is that too many readers have read into his novels the ideas they wanted to find there, so that for secular readers he was an early existentialist who argued for an anguished agnosticism, while for many believers he was a kind of Christian apologist. Neither reading does him the courtesy of seeing that he was above all a novelist—a believer, yes, but one who wanted to explore in depth the consequences of unbelief, in a way that someone who wanted to make an apologetic argument would find uncomfortable.
Rowan Williams insists that we see Dostoevsky first of all as a novelist, one whose religious faith and profound moral convictions formed the direction of his fiction. Dostoevsky: Language, Faith, and Fiction is a demanding, difficult, and excellent work. Far from being an introduction to the novels and the novelist, it should probably not be attempted by anyone unfamiliar with the major novels (Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Devils, The Brothers Karamazov). But for those who have read Dostoevsky and want a serious engagement with his fictional method and the theology that informs it, the book is deeply helpful, even illuminating.
No one I can think of is better suited to undertake this sort of profound examination. Rowan Williams, the archbishop of Canterbury, is himself a poet and gifted writer, fluent in Russian, familiar with Dostoevsky's original texts, conversant with all the relevant critical...

"Did they get a fair price for Rickey Henderson? It's kind of like if you're an art collector and you have the Mona Lisa, what's a fair price for it? The idea in building a championship team is to acquire players like Rickey Henderson. It's a sad day when you have to give one away." Bill James wrote that in 1985 after the Oakland Athletics traded away Rickey Henderson to (ironically enough) the New York Yankees before the start of season. Henderson, at that point in his career, was 28 years old and was widely regarded as one of the best all-around baseball players in the league. The A's opted to trade Henderson away in exchange for some assets because they knew he would be outside of their price range once hitting free agency the following season. It's not a perfect comparison, but when thinking about the impending "to spend or not to spend?" question that the Yankees face regarding Robinson Cano, that James quote reasonates. Cano is (deservedly) on track to receive one of the largest contracts in baseball history. He's in the prime of his career, has been the most valuable position player in baseball for the last three seasons and excels at just about every aspect of the game. With the Dodgers throwing money around like they just don't give a damn and widespread lucrative TV deals continuing to marginalize New York's leg-up in the payroll department, Cano's price is probably going to balloon to an 8- to 10-year deal worth upwards of $220 million. The Yankees have plenty of reasons to be skeptical of extending Cano. At 30 years of age it's likely that the all-star second baseman will begin to deteriorate after three or four years of signing his big money deal. New York, perhaps more than anybody, realizes that inking high caliber free agents is an investment of declining returns. There was also 2005 study by Nate Silver that found second basemen actually decline at a faster rate than players at any other position, presumably due to the quality of players that tend to play second – those that lack the arm strength or range to play short – and the fact that the position is constantly turning double-plays. The Yankees have the luxury of being able to DH Cano to try and save his body down the road, but that would merely prolong the inevitable. The other fact of the matter is, the core of the Yankees is old. For years New York won championships by poaching free agents exactly like Robinson Cano to add to their strong core of Jeter, Rivera, Pettite, Posada, and Williams. The expensive veteran additions were just that, additions, they were not meant to be the foundation of the team. New York, as of right now, has no foundation, and it will presumably take them a few years to piece together a collection of youngsters in which to rebuild around. Cano would continue to be the best player on a middling team and likely be on the decline by the time the Yankees are ready to contend for titles again. Were this a similar scenario for another franchise there would not be much of a discussion, Cano would have either been traded already or be out the door following the end of his contract. However, this is the New York Yankees, they acquire or re-sign players like Cano, Henderson, Alex Rodriguez, and C.C. Sabathia, and they don't let them walk away. That is, unless Hal Steinbrunner has the vision and the guts to bring to end the era that his father began 20 years ago. Can he afford to be so cavelier? Perhaps. Frankly it appears Yankees fans have become so spoiled by their team that they've started to lose interest, if the empty seats in the stadium last fall were any indication. But not resigning Cano essentially means the Yankees will have to be the Mets for a few seasons, beginining a stretch of feebleness that has not happened since the 80s. Ticket prices will have to be slashed, viewership on the billion-dollar YES network will drop and the Yankees will become just another rebuilding franchise trying to discover a new fist full of talent to lead them on another run. In the end though, I keep circling back to the quote about Henderson. Despite Cano's impending price-tag, despite his liklihood to age poorly and despite the Yankees needing a serious infusion of young talent, it's Robinson Cano. The idea in building a championship team is to acquire players like Robinson Cano. It's a sad day when you have to let one walk away. By: Ryan Gilmore Twitter: @Rygil01

TWO sets of roadworks in the south of the city combined to cause traffic misery in Oxford on Saturday.
The Southern Bypass remains on a reduced speed limit for the work to improve the Kennington roundabout.
There were also temporary traffic lights at Folly Bridge as Thames Water carried out its first day's work of improvement works, which will continue until Wednesday.
The result brought swathes of the city to almost to a standstill.
There was heavy traffic on A423 Southern Bypass between A34 (Hinksey Hill Interchange) and A4144 Abingdon Road (Kennington Roundabout). And those travelling along the A40 towards Oxford were also stuck in long queues.
Oxford Bus Company said its city services were delayed by up to an hour as a result of the works.

Portland rules, especially if you enjoy working as a barista, dish washer or as a waiter.
Portland is the reason babies die.
Ha ha ha, watch the place bloat up like a scenester-stuffed toad in the next four years!
Bryan Miller told me everyone at NYU is talking about Portland too. Tell anyone making the move to make sure you have a job nailed down before landing, I ended up taking manual labor off Craigslist and at the end of an eight-month job search found one - back in Mexico. I know someone who ran a reputable Seattle record label who looked for work for THREE YEARS and ended up making $10 an hour in a managerial position. There is no base to the economy: Intel and Nike employ a fraction of the people at Microsoft, Boeing and their ancillaries. Portland is a great place and an easy place to get by on little money, but most of the folks I know there are just scraping by. They still have plenty of time for their art, though, because rent is still affordable (though that may be different by next year) and full time, good-paying jobs are very rare. It is entirely possible enough trustafarians will come to inflate the service industry to full employment, but Portland hasn't had a real economic base for twenty years.
Just wait until the scenesters find out that Portland is surrounded by Oregon.
I gotta second #5. Portland is a great city--to visit. It was the only urban area within reach when I was growing up in SW WA. But there's a reason I didn't head there after graduating.
No hustle.
Love it or hate it, SEA just has a more money-grubbing attitude and the economy that goes with it. Ya'll seem to envy PDX's progressive attitude and low-key vibe, but nailing down that job that supports your family is another matter. Money down there tends to be old money--and they don't throw it around investing in new, job creating businesses like they do up here.
if NY loves Portland so much why don't they marry it! NY and Seattle's relationship is soooo over!
Maybe it's 'cause they have a good light rail system and we don't.
Vancouver BC is more fun.
But Portland's not bad.
portland is alright. the denser neighborhoods are nice. however sub-par food, scenesters, and amateurism really grate on me. the suburbs are a horror and their schools are in shambles.
fun for a day or two, but i don't think i would live there let alone raise a family there.
oh and newsflash to new yorkers- the shins really suck nowadays. it's kind of sad actually.
portland has NOTHING on seattle. except for light rail and aggressive city planning.
vote yes on prop 1
I predict Portland will have a more expensive (i.e. not necessarily better) standard of living than Seattle by 2010.
maybe portland will do a better job growing up than seattle did.
Portland is a great small city, but like a lover with a small penis (no matter how skilled) there will always be something missing. Seattle and Vancouver are the only big cocks in the Northwest, and though we may have our relative shortcomings to our southern neighbor, I will take our superior endowments anyday...
People in New York also love Vermont. YAWN...
Although I'm a Portland native, and still have a lot of relatives there (and like you grew up in the armpit os SW WA), I much prefer living in Seattle, for all the reasons you cited.
Sure, we still can't buy a beer with our lap-dance, have to pump our own gas, and it'll be 20 years before we have anything approaching decent mass-transit around here, but otherwise there's not a lot else to really recommend it as a residential destination.
As the Late Governor Tom McCall used to say back in the 1960's, "Oregon is a nice place to visit, but please don't move here".
That's still good advice, IMO.
People read shite like this
and cream all over themselves about what is or where is the next big city to claw away at and consume in the way posh, hip cultural consumers with disposable incomes do these sorts of things.
Fuck it all. People shit themselves over the idea that there might be some neighborhood-based mecca of truly cheap warehouse artist colonies within walking distance of some martini bar that is cheap enough so you do not have to scramble and is enough off the radar so as to not be colonized by spiritually empty assholes while simultaneously containing enough amenities so you are not truly stranded. Portland is just the current utopia du jour. Soon it will suck like Seattle.
Still love Portland.
Both cities have long been transplant cities for decades. Portland's haircut is just sexier to rich east-coasters than Seattle's haircut *today*, that's all. That doesn't mean that investors in CA and NY are going to stop pouncing on property and culture in both cities (which I don't think is a negative thing.)
Gah, a lot of Portland haters here. Be nice northerners! I do live in the armpit of SW WA and I go to Portland almost every day for work and school. It is a nice place to live, even if you have to live in your parents' garage. :) If you haven't been here lately, they are building billions of over-priced condos in the Pearl district and someone is buying them...not sure who...probably all of those New Yorkers who think $300,000 for 500 sq. ft. is a good deal. So yah, Portland sucks...go away. We don't want anyone coming to live here, because you'll take our jobs! On the other hand, if you want to start a nice business that will employ people, well, welcome to one of the greatest cities on the planet! :)
Portland acts all nice and stuff but it's really a total slut. I hear Portland has fucked Sacramento, Bakersfield, AND Barstow CA.
hmmmmm, so Seattle has lots of jobs and not enough cheap housing and transportation and independent artsy stuff, and Portland doesn't have enough jobs but has a lot of the other stuff.... Can we work out some sort of trade?
And in five years it will be Boise, Boise, Boise. New Yorkers are silly like that.
I moved to Portland 6 years ago, and I truly love it. I have been all over and this is still my favorite place. Portland does lack something though- a Slog! I have to cyber sneak to my northern neighbor and live vicariously through you. Which sometimes treats me to amusing snippets on my city like this. Y'all sound like an older sibling who gets disgruntled when the baby sister gets all the attention. Jealous and defensive. Well, I do worry about the very true danger of Portland "blowing up like a scenester filled toad". And the rents HAVE risen obscenely in just the last 3 years already. I don't understand why that would make you happy, competitive older sister, but just thought I'd let you know. Relish our eventual oversaturation if it makes you feel good.
Um...no it won't. I think the whole 100% conservative thing will get in the way of that possibility.
...it's not cool to have a job at starbucks or boeing or amazon or anywhere else corporate...so you have portland, with great in city transit and a cheaper cost of living plus a vibrant art scene...sounds good...and of course not all those pesky corporations with their jobs and healthcare...art must suffer!
Eh, give it time. Ever spent time in the North End? It's just your usual charming western city streetcar development from the teens and twenties, but isn't that just the thing that the NYTimes will name an undiscovered gem one of these days? And they'll oooh and aah over the mountains and trails, and everything else that seemed prosaic to the natives.
Oh, also, enough outsiders have been moving in to the city that they've started electing Democrats. Not statewide, however.
who gives a shite what new yackers think? i don't derive the worth of the amenities of my fair city from the opinions of folks thousands of miles away, some that have never been here.
seattle is totally saddled with incomprehensible traffic, ridiculous home prices and very little else to recommend it. the Showbox is a good mid-sized venue to see a rock show, that's about all i can think of currently.
PDX will never fall as far as Seattle, although the influx of fux i've seen in the last 10 years is taking a toll on livability here.
open post to all NYers thinking of relocating to PDX...forget Portland and get in early on the next trend:
Can someone let the Public Intern know that we have free ice cream for him until Nov. 12th? All he has to do is come and visit the Women's Resource Center at PSU IN PORTLAND and he can have all the free ice cream he can eat! If anyone else is in Portland and wants free ice cream, just come visit us. :)
Fuck all of you.
@25, I'm bettin' an offer for $75 grand a year would make you go to the dark side in a New York minute.
@23 - You're missing a Slog? Isn't this http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/ the Portland equivalent?
@30 i was kidding...portland does seem like a cool town...i'm just not sure they have many diverse and well paying job oppurtunites...seems like a major bummer to me but that is something many artist types are willing to over look...personally, no way...i like to get paid now...and hopefully get to be creative along the way...we'll see...
Ah...chasing the next hip and cool place to live. What a great passtime for the well off.
i was in portland last weekend & everyone told me how much they love seattle.
portland has closer & better hot springs & ocean beaches. but we've got way more homeless.
the grass is always greener.
Okay, great. Move there.
And all the rest of you too, who gush about how great it is and how much this city sucks. GTFO and maybe you'll help solve some problems, not just for yourselves but for the rest of us as well.
@31- Yes, I do love the Mercury Blog and check it daily, but the Slog is a bigger machine and more interesting- far more posts, more responses, etc. Occasionally something on the Mercury Blog will get Portlanders fired up, but people down here don't seem quite as into it overall.
Scenester/arty types in New York *do* love Portland. They once really loved Austin and Denver too. I don't know why. But they will never really understand how dreadfully boring all these places are.
Portland is a just a wack Seattle.
I was sitting in a doctor's office yesterday and picked up a magazine with a feature about the best places to move/live/retire. Portland was #1. There was a photo of a retired couple enjoying spending their pile of cash, strolling around "The Pearl District" and Portland looked glossy and shiny. What a long way from the 80's and early 90's. Yuck. My memories of Portland are like Drugstore Cowboy...and that place just isn't there anymore.
I hear Sedro-Woolley is the next Prague.
@40---No way man, Sequim is where it's at.
"I hear Sedro-Woolley is the next Prague"
me too... we must know the same peeps, and a little bird told me that High Point is the next Sedro-Woolley, and Orujo is the next Ketel One. shhh, keep it to yourself.
4/5 people in PDX are white...that's all i'm saying.
@43: haha...too true good point AND when I go to Seattle, despite being completely insane, I get asked out on dates! that never happens down here!!! or maybe people only ask me out when I am insane? oh that can't be good. what does that mean???
That's right, keep bad-mouthing Portland. We don't want you here.
Portland is a tiny, tedious, nothing of a city. No industry, no urban buzz, no professional opportunities. How odd that New York, the heart of America, the most culturally essential city in the US, would find anything of interest in such a dump. What were they high on that could possibly make them fall in love with that bunch of noodle-dancing, compost-scented, shitty-folk-music-loving, windy-political-rambling, nap-taking hippies? Little cocks indeed. Seattle is the only city in the NW that can deliver.
Amazon. Microsoft. Starbucks. Grunge. Dan Savage. Jimmi Hendricks.
Portland? Gardenbugers, Stash Tea and a sea of skanky hippies and agro bikers. Portland is Seattle's left armpit.
Seattle, you flatter yourself a little too much. At least Portland knows it's an overgrown large town at best. You're big city ambitions are a joke-compared to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago..you're small potatoes..Seattles barely bigger than Portland. At least the neighborhoods in Portland have-for the time being some degree of charm-not like the fucking awful attempts at modern architecture that have ruined 'hoods like Fremont.
When this SoCal boy considered buying a second home in the Northwest I thought about both Seattle and Portland. I chose Portland for a number of reasons but mainly because the City has done a fine job of growth management and livability. With the urban growth boundry, an excellent light rail system including direct access from PDX, the Portland Streetcar, Fairless Square (free transport downtown), and numerous award winning restaurants, the choice was easy. Add to that the sophistication of the Pearl, the upscale NW 23rd Avenue area, the funkyness of Belmont and Hawthorne, and a liberal, open minded "keep Portland wierd" attitude and you have something very attractive. While Seattle may have a larger population base and more major league sports teams, size does not necessarily make life better. With that size and lack of planning, Seattle has a nightmarish traffic problem, a huge homeless population, and lousier weather. (Yes, it is colder, WETTER and gloomier there).
I think both cities have their attributes and should be enjoyed by each other's residents.
I like to visit Seattle, but Portland is simply more liveable. We have better transit, it's extremely walkable, and a very unique/diverse culture. Seattle is fun because it feels more like a big city, but it's downtown is too much like a mall (c'mon a Bed Bath & Beyond???--that would never happen in downtown Portland). I think it is due to Seattle's far-flung suburbs that it has become what it is. Portland has required denser development so it has managed to become a bigger city while still maintaining the small town feel.

Though her large, protruding lobes were the object of many a lustful suitor, 3 husbands and countless other lovers, it was her clever needlework and business acumen that would melt the hearts of America's founding fathers.

Multimedia Show This Spy Surfs Runs Sept. 6-Oct. 25
Conceived, directed and performed by T. Colburn and B. Klay, This Spy Surfs "is a serialized mythic opera told instrumentally with surf and spy music, using computer generated vocalizations & multi-disciplined image events," as production notes describe the show. "Serialized mythic opera is a story form that keeps getting added to much like a soap opera. This is performed by musicians who neither sing nor speak, but play composed music couched in the vocabulary of surf (beach) and spy (film noir) music. Since the performers do not sing, computer generated voices are used to tell the story. All of this is framed in the theatric setting of modern media projection systems as opposed to traditional sets."
The work exposes the audience to the "metaphysics of actual experience via the conduit of fine art performance mechanisms thinly disguised as consumer level popular acculturated music and visual work which allow the biomechanical effect to be technologically enhanced so that it may reach into the precognitive state of experience as decision in order to reveal the meta and micro relations easily apparent to even the most casual participant."
Reservations to This Spy Surfs can be made by calling SmartTix at 212-868-4444 visiting www.thisspysurfs.com; tickets are $15.

I ran into a very interesting issue today.
In my directory I have:
- hearts
- laptops
- pets
- scaledBU
- spotlights
Each of those are directories. I created these directories using FileZilla but they are not visible when I FTP into the server.
The only visible directories are:
- hearts
- laptops
These directories are not visible VIA FTP
- pets
- scaledBU
- spotlights
I can put in the absolute path and I can gain access and manage the content in these directories.
The permissions are the same for all the files. They are assigned to the correct user and group. I just tried deleting the directories and re-creating the directories and the same issue occurs. I even tried renaming the directories and they still do not show. When logged into cPanel and using their FTP client I am able to see the directories.
Does anyone know what would cause this or a possible solution? I have checked Google but nothing seemed to work as of yet.
I even ran a
sudo chown -R user:group ~/direcotry/ to attempt to fix any permission issues but no change. The folders are not set to be hidden.

Awesome, though the right eye's pupil seems a bit off compared to the left eye's pupil.
The fur looks great, by the way.

Sugar Voted Off 'Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains'
It was one for the Villains in the new season of "Survivor" when Jessica "Sugar" Kiper was voted out by 9 of her teammates. The former contestant of Gabon edition had to give up her second chance at winning the show when the Heroes chose her over Amanda Kimmel to leave first.
In "Slay Everyone, Trust No One", Sugar did not contribute well to the team during the Reward Challenge. It was a head to head race across various lanes marked in the sand. They had to dig a bag in the sand, run to the finish mat and repeat it three times. Sugar struggled through this and even got her bikini top ripped off.
Things were not any better for the 30-year-old in the Immunity Challenge. The tribes must assemble a puzzle boat using seven braces and paddle the boat to retrieve fire from a bonfire floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean. Then, they have to get back to the shore, use the braces as ladder and climb a platform to light the fire.
Sugar stumbled in the puzzle and cost Heroes its victory. ''Nobody really had a good night's sleep because of her,'' Colby Donaldson said at one point. Sugar later sobbed on the beach, saying she was "disappointed" at herself.
Next week, the remaining survivors will face an even more demanding physical challenge. Rob Mariano aka Boston Rob from the Villains tribe is seen in the preview being attended by doctor in the jungle and the medic could not rise him.

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone would be able to provide his/her experience with how the weather in Jaco's been in the absolute beginning of May. I know that May is the wet season, but I'm hoping that 05/01 to 05/05 will be clear skies; at least most of the time!?
Also, can anyone give his/her feedback on the Best Western's food? We're getting the all-inclusive option, and although we don't mind on eating outside the hotel's premises once in awhile, we are paying for the all-inclusive option, so we're hoping the food is edible.
Any responses are GREATLY appreciated!!!

It was a championship-winning blast that just a few months ago wouldn't have been possible.
Back in December, Abrar Zafar wasn't even at FDR, let alone living in the state of New York. The junior left the Gravesend school and headed to Columbus, Ohio with his uncle Ulam Abas to work at his grocery store, leaving behind the hope of playing for a city cricket title.
"When I went there I felt like I was not coming back," Zafar said.
But there he stood with a bat in his hand producing a six-run blast over the right section of the boundary to clinch top-seeded and unbeaten FDR's first PSAL cricket crown Saturday afternoon at Baisley Pond Park in Jamaica.
After No.3 Long Island City tied the score at 100 on its final ball of the 20th over, the Cougars rebounded to win the super over 6-4 thanks to Zafar, who played for New York region's U19 team. He was also the bowler for the final over and in the super over.
"He is one of the guys I can rely on, and he delivered today," FDR coach Gregory Fisher said. "I thought it was going to go for four [points], but it cleared the boundary. I'm the happiest man today."
Fisher has senior Jazeb Tariq to thank as well. The captain called Zafar in Ohio on behalf of his teammates. He told their star batsman that they wanted and needed him to return. It didn't take much convincing to get Zafar, who left his parents in Pakistan for the US at 16, back to New York. He and his uncle returned in February.
"He was one of the really best in the whole game," Tariq said. "I wanted him on the team… "He knew this was probably our last chance to win a championship."
Zafar wasn't the hitting star early, scoring just one run up until his decisive swing. He admitted his nerves got the best of him on the final ball of the 20-over regulation. Long Island City (13-3) got just the run to tie on a Muntasir Rana single and Zafar allowed just four runs in the super over.
"I was feeling like if I give him a bad ball I was going to die," he said.
Zahib Tariq lasted from nearly the start to the finish and scored 39 runs for FDR (17-0). The Cougars shut out LIC, which was making its first playoff appearance, in its first over and limited the scoring early on. Davinderpa Singh, who scored 23 runs, led a late charge with a six-run swing in the 15th over. Attaur Khan scored 25 runs and Jawwad Khan added 21 for the Bulldogs.
"The slow [hitting] start was costly for us," LIC coach Dharmvir Gehlaut said.
The season was still a special one for a team that has just three seniors on its roster to go along with nine freshmen. LIC lost its first two matches and won 13 straight after that, including a 102-101 win over Lincoln in the semifinals.
"They have years to go," Gehlaut said. "They learned from this experience."
FDR, on the other hand, will never forget it and the journey that brought them and Zafar there. They mobbed him after the ball sailed just past them and eventually lifted him up on their shoulders in celebration.
"When I was batting I knew we needed four runs," Zafar said. "I could do that easily."

How exactly do you get a gallery to show up? I don't seem to find the add a gallery button anywhere.
Ok, I cannot add a gallery with images taken from the media gallery.
However, to edit gallery I need the two tabs in the backend. I don't have them, how to I get them? Ok, got them, was user assigned.
Now last but not least ... can I add images to the gallery after the fact? Can't seem to find how to do that.

Monica Urquhart was busy learning the ropes to take over the
''major role'' from Mrs Muir next year, but regular
race-goers will still see the long-serving betting boss
smiling out from the booth windows at the Hawea Flat Domain
for a while yet.
Slideshow: Hawea Picnic Races
''I'm not moving out, I'm just moving over,'' Mrs Muir said.
''I just feel I need a back-up, getting to my delicate age.''
Mrs Muir and her team work to a tight schedule on race day,
with just half an hour between each race.
''It's full on, but at the end of the day, it's so
While conceding she probably had ''an interest'' in horses,
it did not extend beyond her picnic races role.
''I'm scared of them. I like a fence between them and me.''
Mrs Muir's motivation for her lengthy stint at the helm has
been simple.
''Working voluntarily for the community ... and providing
entertainment for holiday makers at this time of year'', was
the spur, she said.
''We're indebted to the people that travel a long way to
support us at these events.''
Mrs Muir became involved in the event after marrying
long-time local Fred Muir, who has been attending the race
meeting since its inception - ''about 66 years'', he
The couple formerly farmed in Hawea Flat, but have since
semi-retired to Wanaka. Mr Muir is one of the longest-serving
Hawea Picnic Racing Club committee members.
Organisers at yesterday's meeting said numbers appeared to be
down on last year's event, which attracted about 2000 people.
Mr Muir thought the hot, calm weather probably meant many
people had gone boating instead.
All proceeds from the race day are given to Lake Hawea
community projects.

The 2012 Wilmore Saturday Nite Live entertainment year begins March 31 in Wilmore Community Center. This month's show is somewhat different, in that we are holding multiple fund-raising events during the evening.
The donation bowl in the hallway will hold donations to Wilmore SNL's improvement fund. No admission fees, but the donations in the hallway are gratefully accepted. This year's fund-raiser is aimed towards replacing the flooring in the community center.
The second fund-raiser for the night is at the food stand. The Relay for Life Cancer team, The Chili Peppers, are preparing some scrumptious food. The doors will open at 6:00 so you can enjoy brisket sandwiches, chips, cake, soft drinks. Their meal deal will be $5.00. So, come prepared to eat your evening meal with the Chili Peppers before the show starts at 7.
For your entertainment, we are super excited to bring back one of our most popular bands: The Basement Boys from the Pratt area. Great, old country music sung by members of this group; George Wallace, Lonnie Detmer, Ron Clark, Leonard Pohl, Frank Hopkins, Ken Brunson, Dave Johnson. You'll hear steel guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar, fiddle, harmonica, drums, and lots of your favorite country music. A very, very talented group of musicians that will be strummin' and singin' from the time you walk through the door until the show's over!
One other surprise & our 3rd fund raising event for the evening: Homemade pies will be auctioned during the course of the show. The Chili Peppers are bringing a few, so be prepared to bid the most, and take home your favorite flavor!!
Need more information, or to reserve a seat for the evening, call Cindy Offield at 620-582-2120. www.saturdaynitelive.com or check out our Facebook page.

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
Tagged: background
Is it possible to put a full page background on display theme?
Hi n0gear,
Yes it is! You will need to modify the following few lines of css in the base Stylesheet you'll be using (either style1,style2 or style3) located in the display>css folder.
For style1.css lines 3-19
background: #222;
background: #fff url(../images/skin1/bg.png) repeat-x left top;
#subpage .wrapper{
background: #fff url(../images/skin1/bg.png) repeat-x 0 -370px;
Right now, the body background is set to a solid color which is overlapped by the white and dark gray bg.png file in two different ways depending on if its the Homepage or a subpage.
Depending on the exact effect you are looking for, you'll need to modify these. Here is a simple reference on proper implementation: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp
Hope this does the trick!

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 81 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by NotInSelfies Perfect button down shirt I bought red plaid & found the color rich & pattern very pretty. I also bought white & it is fine with a nude bra. The shirt is softly feminine & exceptionally well made with nice details includng front darts, front & back seaming. Fabric is very soft, almost silky & light, washes well, not needing much if any ironing esp with pattern. Can be casual or dressy because of lovely shaping. The sleeves ran a little long. I sized up mearly because it was out in my reg size & it worked because of the shaping & soft drape. I also tried the Essential Cotton shirt and found it much boxier & thicker. Please bring this shirt back, especially for summer, perhaps a short or sleeveless version too. It is the perfect year round shirt. For reference, I am slightly curvy average build 5'5". 8r-10p fit me. April 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by frompa comfortable wearing cotton I've had a few OTHER BRAND button downs that never quite felt fabulous on - either the sleeves were too short, the bust pulled, the length was too short and become untucked easily - HOWEVER, not the case with my Garnet Hill button down shirts! Patterns are crisp and classic! The fit is... oh so nice! The chambray is just about my absolute favorite! These are a wardrobe must! April 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ophelia Classic with a twist I love that this shirt is classic without being stodgy...and the fabric is so light and also substantial. Perfect! March 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by PegQ10 Sharp top I got a size 8 and it fits close but not tight. I am 150# smaller on top and 5'5". Got many compliments on the teal color and pattern. Needs ironing after washing, but just takes a minute. March 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Adee shirt great fabric and color...very versatile.. the quality is excellent and I get many compliments on the item. January 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by nancyft Wonderful shirt This is a well made shirt that could be casual or worn to work. It is good quality with nice details. The fabric is an understated check and a nice weave-sturdy but not stiff. I like the collar best of all! It is a little looser than most shirts, so it doesn't choke, but it's still a proper collar.

No difficulty in acknowledging the powerhouses of European rugby. For the first time in the history of the Heineken Cup, a competition that started in 1995, this weekend's semi-final teams — Munster, Saracens, Clermont and Toulon — are the same as last season's. The quartet are starting to form an exclusive club. The word hegemony springs to mind.
So, what makes a successful European side? Not a sense of place, that's for sure. Toulon, who also sit at the head of France's Top 14, have three candidates — Jonny Wilkinson, Steffon Armitage and Matt Giteau — in a 15-strong field to determine the European

some time in the past few days my site, BudeStringscaught the dreaded white screen of death - front and back end. i logged onto the site via ftp and started by renaming the plugin directory to deactivate all plugins - the site (sort of) worked again. going through the plugins seems to narrow the culprit down to better-wp-security. the directory for this plugin is currently renamed (i added a ~ character before the name) and the site is working fine.
i need to have this plugin working as i've had a lot of trouble with hackers on this site and this plugin was the solution.
many thanks, jan

In My Opinion-_PNC Bank is making a ton of $$$ on the VFC -4 for 1 Split.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
A split is neutral with regard to value.
If you hold 100 shares of stock at $40, for example; your holdings are worth $4000.
If the stock then splits 4 for 1, you will have 400 shares of stock at $10. Your holdings are still worth $4000.
Any change in value that occurs is due to market action. The split itself is entirely neutral with respect to the value of the stock.
based on a split, the shareholder value will not change. In theory, a split creates more volume since it will makes the stock more affordable to the average investor. Volume can create a more active market for the stock which can cause future additional value to shareholders since it opens up to additional shareholders that could not afford the stock at previous values.
Explain yourself. PNC holds the Barbey Family Trust where all those shares reside.

el de la estatua de la libertad, no
ya que es un desodorante 'for men'
i love the concept the art direction is terrible though specially the placement of the stick !
I agree. I also think it needs a little copy to help make it more clear.
I disagree, the placement of the stick is great, at least they didn't do that stupid, half of the page lower right side pack shot everyone does - which immediately says yes it's a scam.
I got it instantly without copy, you've got B.O. use speedstick, no copy needed.
and also the actual placement of the statue its wrong ( check the original http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vaqCjVyoA_c/S7X9ODCsVTI/AAAAAAAADXA/TOevc4LH... ) this one looks like is in the middle of the water close to the beach.
Execution doesn't help the idea. Maybe that's the problem to solve this gag.
Well, considering it's a student ad, it's very good! The idea is mint. The art of the background is lame!
Glad to. See, there were these three students who had a project due at 9 tomorrow morning, and they hadn't even touched it yet. They got a 24 pack of generic beer from Kroger, and some bags of Cheetos, and between the hours of 3am and 9, this is what they came up with.
Without Google image search, they wouldn't have had that much.

Science Does Not Want Your Fat, Dead Body
As we are reminded regularly, much of America is overweight or even obese, and this is bad, bad, bad. Not only is it unhealthy for our bodies; it means our pants are uncomfortably tight. But beyond that, a certain pride in human life is being able to give your physical specimen away to science when you shuffle off this mortal coil, whether that's so you can help others, feel better about the life you have led, or maybe, have something positive-sounding about yourself to offer up at the gates of Heaven. But now, it seems, science doesn't even want your corpse. Science is turning up its nose at your corpse. Because your corpse is, well, fat. Science is rude.
According to an MSNBC investigation into the subject, there are a few reasons science will pass on your obese corpse. Among them:
-Fat bodies are harder to store. -There is too much tissue on a fat form, which means "the students don't get as good a learning opportunity." -The embalming process adds more weight. -"Bodies taller than about 6-foot-4 or heavier than about 300 pounds simply don't fit on the trays." -Overweight (and extremely tall) bodies are harder for "slim" technicians to lift and move. -Overweight bodies are not "perfect":
"In a perfect world, they'd like to have a perfect body with perfect anatomy -- or near perfect," said Wade, whose ["perfect"] program is among the largest in the nation, with a peak donation of some 1,800 bodies a year.
-In fact, adding insult to injury, obese bodies are "more difficult, time-consuming, and unpleasant to study."

While half of adults would consider donating their bodies to science, according to a Johns Hopkins study, weight limits for donations are generally between 170 and 300 pounds, tops. Which means, if you are heavier and hope to donate, you may want to prepare your loved ones, and/or yourself, for some rejection.
While some seem to think that this might entice people to lose weight, we feel it may simply entice people not to donate their bodies to that ingrate, science.

Product Description
From Amazon
Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett's archetypally tough San Francisco detective, is more noir than L.A. Confidential and more vulnerable than Raymond Chandler's Marlowe. In The Maltese Falcon, the best known of Hammett's Sam Spade novels (including The Dain Curse and The Glass Key), Spade is tough enough to bluff the toughest thugs and hold off the police, risking his reputation when a beautiful woman begs for his help, while knowing that betrayal may deal him a new hand in the next moment.
Spade's partner is murdered on a stakeout; the cops blame him for the killing; a beautiful redhead with a heartbreaking story appears and disappears; grotesque villains demand a payoff he can't provide; and everyone wants a fabulously valuable gold statuette of a falcon, created as tribute for the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. Who has it? And what will it take to get it back? Spade's solution is as complicated as the motives of the seekers assembled in his hotel room, but the truth can be a cold comfort indeed.
Spade is bigger (and blonder) in the book than in the movie, and his Mephistophelean countenance is by turns seductive and volcanic. Sam knows how to fight, whom to call, how to rifle drawers and secrets without leaving a trace, and just the right way to call a woman "Angel" and convince her that she is. He is the quintessence of intelligent cool, with a wise guy's perfect pitch. If you only know the movie, read the book. If you're riveted by Chinatown or wonder where Robert B. Parker's Spenser gets his comebacks, read the master. --Barbara Schlieper
"Dashiell Hammett . . . is a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer." –The Boston Globe
"The Maltese Falcon is not only probably the best detective story we have ever read, it is an exceedingly well written novel." –The Times Literary Supplement (London)
"Hammett's prose [is] clean and entirely unique. His characters [are] as sharply and economically defined as any in American fiction." –The New York Times

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
Perhaps the single most extraordinary thing about the novel is its radical departure from the norm. In the 1920s and early 1930s, detective novels were not really considered "literary;" they were light entertainment, and they generally came in two varieties: pure pulp, which was more akin to action-adventure, and "the master detective" as created by such authors as Agatha Christie. In one fell swoop, however, Hammett not only fused these two ideas but also endowed his novel with tremendous literary style--more than enough to catch the eye of "serious" critics and more than enough to stand the test of time.
THE MALTESE FALCON is not a long novel, but Hammett packs a lot into it. The plot, which generally concerns the theft of a priceless, jewel-encrusted statue, walks a fine line between pulp mythology and modern pragmatism, never veering too far in either direction to seem impossible; the prose is lean and clean and packed with detail conveyed both simply and sharply; the characters stand out in a sort of high relief on the page. It is all memorable stuff.
It is difficult to discuss THE MALTESE FALCON without reference to the famous 1941 film version starring Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor. The film has been both a blessing and a curse, so famous that it has drawn thousands of readers to the novel, but so widely seen that it can become difficult to read the novel without seeing it through the lens of the film. But while the film presents the plot and much of Hammett's dialogue intact, readers will find the novel has somewhat different strengths--not the least of which is Hammett's prose itself. An essential of 20th Century American literature; strongly recommended.
GFT, Amazon Reviewer
So, why did I bother reading The Maltese Falcon? Well, like most people I assume, I saw the movie starring Humphrey Bogart, and was hooked. Initially after first seeing the movie I had no idea there was actually a book which it was based off of. Then I noticed it at first on the Barnes and Noble bags, and figured that to be some sort of sign that I should go and read this book. Initially however I just placed it in my reading pile writing it off for the fact that it was just a detective novel, and probably would probably be no where as good as the movie was. So sadly it sat in my room unread for almost 3 months, then one day since I was nearing the bottom of my stack of books waiting to be read I grabbed and decided to just suck it up and read it since I had already spent the money for it. Let me tell you I sat and read almost the entire book that night!
Hammett's style of writing is tight, with all the details, suspense and mystery you're pulled through the entire novel from cover to cover. Spade's character is certainly "rough" and in the book is described as a "blond Satan" and believe me it's easy to see why. I'll spare going into the entire plot for you since it seems just about every other review already has that. But believe me you should definitely read this book, even if Detective stories aren't your thing, you won't be disappointed.Read more ›
Featuring the irrepressible straight-shooter Sam Spade and his unforgettably cunning and sexy female counterpart Brigid O'Shaughnessy, The Maltese Falcon has enough twists and turns to make your head spin. As if these two indelible characters and the super suave dialogue weren't enough, Hammett throws in such incomparable characters as The Fat Man (appropriately named Gutman), the effeminate weasel Joel Cairo, and, of course, the relentlessly maligned Wilmer, or The Undersized Shadow as the chapter is titled.
Despite all of these great characters that complement the story, none shines as brightly as our gruff, cynical, and mercilessly shrewd hero and lady's man, Sam Spade. He means what he says and says what he means - you gotta love it. If you even remotely value fine (and highly entertaining) literature that is a great read even after having seen the equally great movie, then add this to your wish list today.
"By Gad, sir, you are a character!" - Gutman to Spade
Our detective is Sam Spade, a San Francisco private investigator who, with his partner Miles Archer, owns his own agency. Sam's a man in his thirties who has been around, seen every side of the law, and come away unimpressed. He's hardened; he's practical; he only cares that he come out on top of each case he investigates, and richer than when he started. One day a striking woman walks into his office distraught over her younger sister who has run off with a ne'er-do-well. Sam doesn't believe her story, but he believes her money. He takes the case, and his partner Miles is murdered as a result. To make matters worse, Sam is suspected of murdering the man who was suspected of Miles' murder. So he's left with little choice other than to track down his mysterious client and solve both crimes. Sam's trying to extricate himself from this mess only leads him into an ever-widening web of deceit.Read more ›

Step 1: Look in fridge. What looks fun and colorful? I found a zucchini, some carrots, romaine salad. There is quinoa in the cupboard. Let's make a ourselves quinoa tower (yes, I just made that up. This is how great recipes are made!).
Step 2: Start cooking. Zucchini is nice and green. Slice and put in pan. Like this:
Orange is beautiful. Chop, and put in pot. Like this:
I like to experiment with different textures. To cook beautiful food, think opposites; pair crunchy with soft, wet with dry, round with long. I decided to make a mash with my tower. Carrot mash! What goes well with carrots? Look in fridge again. I have ginger. Ginger is good. Not very pretty though.
So I just took a little piece. Like this:
Boil carrots, chop ginger, put in blender. Mash! At the same time, tare (yes tare, don't chop. You want it to be asymmetrical, for beauty!) the romaine and put in a nice-looking bowl. Take the nicest bowl you have. Pretty is key.
Prepare the quinoa. Bring to boil in double amount of water, add a little bit of vegetable stock. Let it simmer until ready. Chop tomatoes (I like red!). Add to quinoa. But, look! It's not beautiful enough! Look in fridge again. Need more color.
Found red cabbage. Why do they call it red when it's actually purple? Or, do they in fact call it purple cabbage? Beats me (by the way, I'm not stupid, just Swedish). Anyway, I adore purple. Chop it up good, squeeze in some lime juice for taste. Add fresh basil, salt, pepper.
Mix with quinoa.
That's better.
Step 3: Time to start building! Romaine will be the foundation. Add one or two layers of sliced zucchini, a big scoop of quinoa mix, and top it off with carrot-ginger mash. Presto!
I told you! Beautiful!

Great Price - Excellent Value
A 16GB class 10 micro SDHC for $25.90 including shipping; what a bargain. It also includes a USB adapter and a SD adapter, what more could you want. Worked great right out of the box and the seller, 3c_expert, got it to me in record time. I ordered it on a Thursday and had it on the following Monday.
