As Anthony Kenshiro Mayhew negotiated with police the night Sept. 27 on the platform of the Gallivan TRAX Station, threatening to detonate an explosive he carried in his red backpack, he apparently possessed a lot of potential firepower.
A Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office report released Thursday states Mayhew's homemade bomb had a potential blast radius of 850 feet, meaning it could have scattered debris a block and a half in each direction. The report cleared Salt Lake City police officerAlma Sweeny, who shot Mayhew before he could detonate the device.
Mayhew, 39, threatened to detonate the device if the Salt Lake City police did not investigate his claims that the federal government had been monitoring his West Jordan home.
Mayhew initially called KUTV, just across the street from the station, about 9 p.m. He told a staffer that he was on the train station's platform with a bomb that he intended to explode. KUTV immediately called 911.
Mayhew told the first officer who arrived that he needed help and did not want to hurt anyone. The officer saw a cord running out of his backpack to a black device with a button in his right hand. The officer convinced Mayhew to remove his thumb from the button so that he would not accidentally detonate the bomb.
SWAT set up a perimeter around Mayhew as police negotiated with him and cleared the area. Mayhew said his bomb included 10 to 15 shotgun shells attached by wires to a battery and the trigger in his hand, and that it had a blast radius of 40 yards.
But when a bomb squad technician arrived and heard about Mayhew's device, he warned the officers that it could have a blast radius seven times greater than what Mayhew had told them. Police expanded their perimeter and ordered bystanders on the sidewalks farther back.
Mayhew knew what he was talking about when it came to explosives, which gave his threats a legitimacy, said District Attorney Sim Gill.
Mayhew sat down on a decorative rock, but was visibly upset and agitated. Sweeny noticed that he was tapping his foot, his back was shaking and that he wiped his eyes as though he were crying.
Sweeny said that Mayhew then appeared to "prepare himself for something" or was "squaring himself away" as he gathered his belongings and took a few steps north and closer to the containment line, according to the letter. Another officer shouted at Mayhew not to move, loud enough that the words echoed throughout Main Street.
Mayhew turned and advanced toward another officer, yelling that they would have to shoot him, and his left arm went toward the backpack.
"Sweeny said he feared for his safety, along with the safety of the other officers and the public within the blast radius," according to a letter from the district attorney's office.
About 11 p.m., Sweeny fired one round from his M-4 SWAT issued rifle, striking Mayhew in the chest. He was declared dead at the hospital.
"It's not the result that we wanted," said Police Chief Chris Burbank. But he was proud of his officers' patience, and that they gave Mayhew every opportunity to surrender.
The district attorney's investigation found that Sweeny was justified in shooting Mayhew. Gill noted that Sweeny acted only fractionally quicker than other officers who were about to pull the trigger as well.
Improvised explosive devices are "very scary" to deal with, and officers have to treat the threat like it could do some significant damage, Burbank said.
Police used a robot to neutralize the device. It was impossible for investigators to figure out the exact destructive potential of the device from the remains of the disrupted bomb, but from the glance at the materials that made up the device from a robot, it was determined that it couldconstitute an explosive device. The bomb technician also figured its radius could reach 850 feet based on what Mayhew told police.
Police later found designs and materials to build the bomb in Mayhew's bedroom.
Mayhew had a long criminal history. In 1995, he was charged in 3rd District Court with five felonies, including aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping. In 1996, Mayhew and another man were charged with a felony hate crime. Utah court records also show a number of assaults and drug-related offenses dating back to 1992.

No, decorator icing is like a buttercream icing. It does not harden like royal icing. You want to use an icing that is creamy, like buttercream.

Robert Cunliffe was my best friend from 1st grade in 1953 until I left Stockton and NJ in Dec 1959. It's not clear sometimes why kids become friends...neighborhood proximity, parents that are already friends, or just same class in school. Sometimes, as Seinfeld once said, it's simply because one kid likes ping pong and the other kid has a ping pong table.
Rob lived on New Street with his mother Evelyn and his older sister Ginger (Virginia). He was bright, enthusiastic, made good grades, and was a good athlete. In the early 50's we played Wiffle ball, stoop ball, and HORSE and OUT at The Oval basketball courts. Later, about 1956, my father built a ping pong table in our basement and Rob and I both had fast reflexes and became good players. In 1958 or 59 we took tennis lessons at The Oval and played there and at Memorial Field near the Main Library. We occasionally rode our bikes to play on the Soverel Field jet fighter and once we went bowling at the Ampere Lanes, the bowling alley on the Newark side of the Ampere train station.
Rob and I corresponded throughout high school and he went on to become possibly only the second* graduate of East Orange High to attend the Naval Academy. He then served in the military and later was a pilot for Continental Airlines. We had no contact between about 1967 and 1994, but our mothers exchanged cards and letters all those years so I had some idea of of what was happening in their family. Between 1994 and 2002 we had some phone calls, letters, and email correspondence but I didn't find out till last week that he had passed away in 2006. From an online obituary:
Robert Francis Cunliffe, 59, of The Woodlands, Texas, died June 21, 2006. He was a 1969 graduate of the Naval Academy and served in Vietnam retiring as a commander. After his years of service, he was employed as a pilot by Continental Airlines. Born in New York City on June 17, 1947, he was a son of Evelyn (Travers) Cunliffe. Survivors: In addition to his mother is a sister, Virginia Hogan of Bethlehem, PA; Burial, Arlington (Va.) National Cemetery.
Since he was born in the middle of June, as kids we joked that the annual elaborate June 14th Flag Day program at Stockton was also a celebration of his birthday.
When we were 6 or 7 years old, he came to my house after school one day and we enthusiastically showed my mother the classroom art work we had just created. My mother praised Robert's art and said he had natural talent. He really brightened with the compliment and told her he had an uncle who was an artist and blurted "and I've saw his paintings!" My mother, always the stickler for good grammar, said "seen, Robert." Excitedly Rob answered "Oh yeah, he paints scenes too!"
*Admiral Frederick Pennoyer, Jr, born 1892, grew up on Maple near Main, graduated from EOHS and then the Naval Academy in 1915. (from East Orange by Bill Hart, Arcadia Publishing, 2006)

Robert Cunliffe: In Memorium
1 comment:
I just recently heard about Bob's death and am saddened that I will no longer get to chat with him as I did at several of our EOHS mini-reunions in Houston. The pictures above are beautiful and bring back fond memories of Bob. I particularly remember competing with him in Mr. Lepore's calculus class and how bright, handsome, and achieving he was. My heart is saddened, and my condolences go out to his family.ReplyDelete
With sympathy,

You should use stiff buttercream or royal icing to make roses. The extra body of the icing allows the rose to stand up and the petals to remain at the angle you piped them.

"I cannot imagine going to work this summer or next year (hopefully) without getting some practical experience. I feel like I have learned a tremendous amount, and I actually feel like the clinic and my intern's license helped me find a job for this summer. Although the legal experience has been amazingly worthwhile, I enjoy the people in the clinic most of all. I have loved having a family right in the law school this semester. It is such a great environment to be in, and I feel like whenever I am in Norman, the clinic staff would welcome me back. Looking back on the beginning of this semester (which literally could not have gone by any faster), I cannot believe how scared I was. Most things have become very routine and comfortable. I think I am the type that will probably always get nervous before a court appearance, but I am so excited with how my nerves have relaxed since January. Experience aside, I am thrilled with the confidence boost!"
"My semester in the clinic has been very rewarding. I have learned so much and what was fulfilling was the fact that my work has actually helped somebody. Usually the end result in law school is just a letter grade but the interaction in the clinic especially from the clients is rewarding enough."
"It is amazing how much I feel I have learned already in the last six weeks, and I think most of that can be attributed to the way the clinic is run. I love that we are given some direction, because I think it is far too frustrating to be thrown into something with no guidance. However, I also love that we are left to decide the vast majority of actions on our own."
"The clinic introduced me to family law and criminal law -- two areas in which I thought I would never practice. My intuition proved true for family law, which is too heart-wrenching. However, I discovered that in criminal law I could make a big difference in someone's life. Another plus is that, when one represents indigent clients, one does not have to bill the person who has received the legal services. These experiences and the example and mentoring of Keith Bystrom [former director] led me to be a public defender. I am an appellate defense counsel in the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System, which also fits my love of research and writing. I have never regretted that decision to become a public defender."
"I felt very comfortable and at ease with my licensed legal interns because they explained everything and made sure I understood the legal aspects of the situation."
"My overall experience with the representation I received from the OU Legal Clinic can only be described as outstanding. I would give the clinic my highest recommendations to anyone in need of legal counsel."
"The legal system in our country has the reputation of being fair only to those who are well funded. If it were not for the services provided by the legal clinic, I seriously doubt the outcome would have been as positive. Not only did the clinic work hard in my behalf, they did so in a way that made me feel at ease and preserved my dignity."

- Installation
Substrate: Tile must be installed over a suitable substrate to insure a proper installation. Glass tile should be installed over a clean, sound, and flat surface, free of contaminates including curing compounds. Substrate should be free of cracks. If used in a wet area you must waterproof. See manufacturer's recommendation on a membrane for crack and water protection that is compatible with the setting material you are using. Glass is reflective therefore any inconsistencies in the substrate will result in a poor installation. For pools and fountains we recommend installing a mortar bed according to TCA P601-98. EXPANSION AND CONTROL JOINTS PER TCA EJ171-05 Expansion joints should be installed at all "changes in plane" in the tile work and where tile abuts restraining surfaces, therefore silicone caulking sealant must be installed in all corner joints in place of grout. Installation: To avoid affecting the color of glass tile, White modified thin-set such as Bostik Glass Mate is highly is recommended for all installations. A second option is regular tile wall glue. Grout joint should be a minimum of 1/16" and not butt set. Apply thin-set using a trowel as recommended by the manufacturer. Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes. Once set in place gently tap using a grout float to insure full bedding and a true surface. Grouting: Grout joints should be packed full and free of voids and pits. Clean excess grout as the work progresses before it has hardens completely. Acids should never be used for cleaning grout haze. Use a damp sponge for the final cleaning and to smooth out the grout joints. When grout is completely cured a grout sealer should be applied as recommended by manufacturer. It is recommended to use Non-Sanded Grout. Cutting: Tile can be cut using a wet saw with a diamond "cut-off" blade. Edges can be sanded smooth after cutting.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Pool tables, beer bottles and mullets.
Individually, not much. But toss them together in a storefront cocktail lounge and you've got sapphic synergy that just won't quit.
Taking its name from a Billie Holiday lyric, Ain't Nobody's Bizness has been the Valley's premier women's bar since long before anyone heard of lesbian-come-lately Anne Heche. And if history is any indication, Biz will be popular long after that dizzy fence-straddler has publicly exploited yet another alternative lifestyle.
Readers' Choice: Ain't Nobody's Bizness
Any place with Guinness on tap is already worth its weight in gold, but this place has more than great beers to recommend it.
It has regulars, loud Irish ones, and more than enough traditional Irish and Scottish performers, including an occasional bagpipe player and a group of acoustic guitar wielders on Tuesdays called the Claire Voyants that plays mixed traditional Irish fare with Sarah McLachlan and Live covers. And make no mistake, people here are friendly indeed at the Dubliner.
All of this makes you feel like Tipperary ain't such a long, long way after all.
Located directly below the Golden West, one of Phoenix's last remaining downtown flophouses, Newman's Lounge could never be confused with Cheers or any other homey sitcom bar. Bleating cell phones, thumping karaoke machines and blaring techno music are conspicuously absent at this throwback to a bygone era -- when bars were designed for hard-core drinking and slurred story-swapping.
At Newman's, you're more likely to run into the Barfly types (you know, wizened regulars with wheezy coughs sporting barroom pallor and stringy hair perfumed with the fermented scent of booze and cigarette smoke). Ain't no Norms perched on barstools here -- and we seriously doubt anyone really wants to know your name, either. Maybe because of the divey, live-and-let-live ambiance, we recommend it as a viable atmosphere for uninterrupted confabulating, not to mention bullshitting and crying in your beer.

It's a good thing that libations master Serafino won't share his secret for making the perfect cosmopolitan. If he did, we'd soon be organizing happy hour for our fellow members at a 12-step program meeting.
This is the most exciting cocktail we've had the joy of sipping. And we do mean sip -- only someone with no appreciation for beauty would slam a drink like this. No, it's so much better to let the alcohol in slowly, to warm our tummies, our hearts and our heads.
Perhaps the secret's in the Grey Goose vodka. Could be the slender ice shards that slip from the sides of our martini-style glass, bringing pure, ice cold pleasure. Or maybe it's the way Serafino handles the silver shaker, deftly blending the cranberry juice for a liquid that's the palest pink of sunset.
The garnish of dried cranberries floating in the bottom of the glass adds to the experience. But the best part is at the end, when Serafino pours "just a little more" from the shaker, giving us a bonus like the leftovers from a fresh-blended milk shake.
Seems like some bars clang a bell, give it another shake and before you can say "Doc Otis Hard Lemonade," your happy hour is terminated. But at Faye's Green Room, happy hour lasts longer than most part-time employment.
This establishment has a happy weekday-afternoon-early-evening sorta deal. Mondays through Fridays, from 1 to 7 p.m., there is a "two-dollar-you-call-it" special on imported beers, as well as "dollar jumbo domestic" specials. Even this generous beer bonanza is exceeded by Friday's perks, such as an invitation to dine on two-fisted portions of a three-foot sandwich from Hogi Yogi on University Drive and enjoy the acoustic musings of Dead Hot Workshop's Brent Babb from 5 to 8 p.m.
With bonuses like these, it's not hard to imagine people having their mail forwarded to a barstool. Or make that two barstools.
Readers' Choice: Applebee's
Chef Michael DeMaria has raised the bar on bar food. His sophisticated upstairs bar tops off this high-class restaurant.
We're talking cushy sofas, overstuffed armchairs, a discreet but well-stocked bar and inspiring views of Scottsdale's spectacular sunsets. These are way-above-average bar bites, exquisite eats like potato-and-prosciutto-wrapped scallops with roasted pears and balsamic shallots; and crab-stuffed cannelloni on asparagus with horseradish tomato jam.
Tossed back with some Krug Grande Cuvee Brut champagne, it's the most elegant experience we can imagine, bar none.

'Blak' Friday blues music suggestions
November 23, 2012
CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. — Since Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, blues fans have coveted a new guitar god to come along. Not simply a gifted guitarist, but an undisputed king to lead the genre like a six-stringed pied piper.Lo and behold, Stevie Ray Vaughan appeared in the late 1980s and reigned until his untimely death in 1990.Probably because of the demographic of the blues fan base, the desire seems to have the guitar god be a white male. And in the mid-90s along came "Kid" Jonny Lang, but after a couple of successful albums, the kid grew into more of a Christian rocker than a bluesman. Then there was Kenny Wayne Shepherd, but it's been a challenge for middle-aged white guys to take him seriously when women scream at the guitarist like he's Elvis Presley or a young Beatle. In 2007, Buddy Guy introduced an 8-year-old prodigy, Quinn Sullivan, a remarkable guitarist who can play "Voodoo Child" note for note like Hendrix, Vaughan and Guy. But, seriously, a preteen bluesman? Does getting potty trained count as an emotional pallet for a song?The crown as the great blues player a few years ago quietly went to slide guitarist Derek Trucks, who did it with his back to the audience and not even singing. But as an Allman Brothers family member, he can be considered a southern rock-jam band shredder. What about the blues?Dismissing the notion the next blues hope is white, consider Gary Clark Jr. He's African-American, in his late-20s and an extremely accomplished guitarist and singer. Esoteric listeners knew about Clark before his epic February 2012 performance at Red White and Blues at the White House with Trucks, Guy, B.B. King, Jeff Beck and Mick Jagger.Clark's debut album was released to much acclaim Oct. 22. The New York Times wrote Clark is "pop eclectic rather than a straight-up bluesman." Rolling Stone said, "One hell of a mean guitar tone, playing solos that claw and scream their stories with ornery splendor but Clark won't be genre-bound."The more critics steer Clark from the blues box, we suspect, the more successful he will become. A great white blues hope like Vaughan only comes around once, and the mainstream has a stigma about the blues, anyway.In honor of the biggest shopping day of the year, we suggest some great music for blues fans from artists who happen to be black. — Gary Clark Jr., "Blak and Blu," Warner Brothers — With a delivery like Robin Trower's guitar and Robert Palmer's vocals, Clark's original tunes come in myriad styles: soul, pop, rock, psychedelic, blues and even doo-wop. As great as the musicianship of his guitar, Clark's amazing vocal range, which goes as high as falsetto, is what make him the next great thing.— Ralph Woodson, "Incredible Dreamer," Independent — While his Jimi Hendrix tribute, Purple Haze, has been his gig-earning bread and butter, the veteran Bay Area guitarist is an accomplished songwriter as well, as this album demonstrates. Like Clark's album, Woodson touches on several styles, and his favorite is jazz with a soul bent.— Guitar Shorty, "Bare Knuckle," Alligator Records — Jimi Hendrix's uncle taught him showmanship and inspired the lick for "Purple Haze." Shorty plays an aggressive call-and-response with his voice and guitar. Check him out Dec. 7 at the High Sierra Brewing Company in Carson City.— Eddie Turner, "Miracles & Demons," NorthernBlues Music — "Devil Boy" as far as we know has never played Tahoe so he's unknown in these parts. Although the album is a couple of years old, it is a timeless trance-rock-blues masterpiece. The guitar work is superb.

Last year it was dumplings; this year it's the humble sausage that seems to be the street food du jour in Brisbane. First there was the German Sausage Hut, which began serving up their juicy bratwurst and sauerkraut at the city's markets, before finding a permanent home in Burnett Lane in the CBD.
Then 5 Dogs Gourmet Hot Dogs opened in Fortitude Valley offering American-style fancy hot dogs, followed by Brat Haus in Caxton Street in November, and now, yet another haute hotdoggery, Snag Stand has hung it's shingle in Queen's Plaza.
A small chain with outlets in Sydney and Melbourne, Snag Stand has fifteen varieties of sausages, from chorizo with spicy chipotle with rocket and goats cheese to a "Backyarder" (Beef and tomato with coleslaw, Coopers Ale barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese) made, they say, by the country's most respected butchers. It certainly shows how far the humble snag has come when it can rub shoulders with neighbours like Tiffany and Chanel.

LISTEN: Lana Del Rey - 'Young & Beautiful (Cedric Gervais Remix)'
Listen to Cedric Gervais on iHeartRadio
After a chart-topping remix of Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness," Cedric Gervais is back again with a fresh take on another one of her songs "Young & Beautiful." Preserving Lana's amazing voice, he builds a new instrumental around her vocal, resulting in a contageous remix just in time for summer.
According to Rolling Stone, Cedric sayd, "I'm a huge fan of Lana Del Rey's music and having already remixed 'Summertime Sadness,' I was excited to work with her again on 'Young and Beautiful.' Her voice is amazing and I built an entirely new instrumental around the vocal. It's killer for the dance floor but also something that sounds great in the car."
Cedric's remix of Lana Del Rey's "Young & Beautiful" will be released July 15th on Spinnin' Records.

Category theory

Michael Barr and Charles Wells: Toposes, Triples and Theories. The online free available book is both an introductory and a detailed description of category theory. By the way, it is also a category theoretical descripton of the concept of monad (the book uses another name instead of monad: triple).
HaWiki's CategoryTheory is also a good theoretical introduction, and besides that, it explains how concepts of category theory are important in Haskell programming.
A Gentle Introduction to Category Theory - the calculational approach written by Maarten M Fokkinga.

Prayer Changes People's Wills
(Romans 15:30-31)
Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints.
I begin today by asking two questions about prayer from verse 30 before turning today to verse 31.
1. Why does Paul give the Roman Christians incentives to pray for him instead of just telling them to pray? Recall, there are two incentives: 1) I urge you "by our Lord Jesus Christ." 2) I urge you "by the love of the Spirit." Why does Paul use these incentives? Why not just say, "Pray for me!"?
The reason is this: God's customary way to move your will is through your mind. That is, he typically draws the will into action by displaying truth to the mind. So in this case, through Paul, God desires that the will of the Roman Christians incline to pray -- and not just incline but incline vigorously. He calls it "striving" in prayer. So to awaken their will to this kind of vigorous inclination, and pull it out into dynamic action, he puts two God-centered truths in their minds: 1) Jesus Christ is Lord ("by our Lord Jesus Christ"); 2) the Holy Spirit is a Spirit of love ("by the love of the Spirit").
I suggested last week that these two incentives correspond to the two prayer requests in verse 31. Since Jesus is Lord, you may pray with confidence that he as the right and authority and power to restrain the disobedient in Judea. And since the Spirit of God is a Spirit of love, you can pray with confidence that he will lovingly fill the saints in Jerusalem with love for Paul so that his ministry is accepted and not resented.
So what we learn here is that energetic vigorous responses of the heart in prayer (and other ways) are meant by God to be responses to great God-centered truth -- in this case, Jesus is Lord of the universe; and the Spirit is full of love. Why is this? Why is it not God's usual way to just tell us to do things without giving us incentives like this to do them?
The reason is plain: God would not get glory for our actions if they were not stimulated by views of God. God is in the main business in the world of magnifying the worth of his Son and the power of his Spirit and the glory of his own name. So his will is that we be aware of these things. That we know them. That we think on them, and that they become conscious incentives in the way we make choices and the way we get stirred up to pray.
If someone says, "Why are you praying?" and we say, "I don't know I just felt this impulse," God would not get the glory he would get if you answered, "I'm praying because Jesus is Lord and has the right to overrule human plans in answer to prayer; and I'm praying because the Spirit of God is a Spirit of love, and will hear my prayer for mercy.
God wants our minds to be filled with this kind of God-exalting truth as the incentive to our praying and our living. We are not to act on mere impulse or whim. We are to act on the knowledge of God-centered incentives. This is why we read the Bible. It is why we have Sunday School and BITC. It is why I preach and write books -- to stir you up with truth about God, so that when you act, God will get the glory.
2. The second question from verse 30 is this: why do the prayers of the Roman Christians promise more help than if Paul simply prayed alone for his two requests? Notice the wording: "I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me." Paul says, he is praying for the same thing. So if he is praying, why does he need more people praying?
Some of you have wondered, Why do we have prayer meetings? Why gather in St. Paul tonight in a larger group? Why have prayer chains and prayer groups? If God is God, and it is his power that makes a difference in answering prayer, why does it matter how many people ask him? If I pick up Noel from the library because our son asks me to, she is just as picked up as if four sons asked me to.
One answer is that the more people that are praying for a thing, the more thanks and honor God will get when he acts. We see this in 2 Corinthians 1:10b-11: "And [God] will yet deliver us, 11 you also joining in helping us through your prayers, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed upon us through the prayers of many."
The assumption behind the answer to both of these questions is that the divine purpose of prayer is to magnify the greatness of God. Prayer exists for the glory of God. Jesus said in John 14:13, "And whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." The aim of prayer is that the Father be glorified through Jesus.
So the more people there are praying for something, and thus depending on God for mercy and power, the more people will give him thanks and glorify him when the answer comes.
Now these two questions from verse 30 set the stage for the lesson of verse 31. What we have seen in verse 30 is that Biblical prayer and Biblical incentives to prayer imply a radically God-centered universe, and God-centered way of looking at the universe. Prayer is for the glory of God and incentives to prayer are God-centered so that when our hearts are moved by those incentives it will be clear that we are acting because of the way God is.
Now in verse 31 assumes this same view of the world. The point I see is very simple and far-reaching in its implications. The point is that prayer changes people's wills. Or, more accurately, God changes people's wills in answer to prayer.
Let's see this from the text. Verse 31 gives Paul's two prayer requests: "1) . . . that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and 2) that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints." So he had two concerns: 1) that the non-Christians in Judea would kill him and end his ministry; 2) that the Christians would find fault with his ministry. So Paul urges the Roman Christians 1300 miles from Jerusalem to ask God not to let that happen.
The implication is that the will of the unbelievers to hurt Paul and the will of the believers to disapprove Paul's ministry are both in the power of God to change. There would seem to be no point in praying for these two things if God could not do them. In both cases the wills of people are involved and the answer to the prayer is going to involve God changing those wills -- in the one case so that the ill-will of unbelievers is restrained, and in the other case so that the good will of believers is assured.
Matthew Henry put it like this 300 years ago: "As God must be sought unto for the restraining of the ill will of our enemies, so also for the preserving and increasing of the good will of our friends; for God has the hearts both of the one and the other in his hands."
That's the implication of verse 31. Let's see how it works by going to the book of Acts and watching God answer this prayer.
Take the first request -- that Paul be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea. How did God answer that? Well, in Acts 21 Paul meets a very hostile city, just as he expected. Verse 30: "And all the city was aroused, and the people rushed together; and taking hold of Paul, they dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut." Mob violence is not easy to restrain. So how was Paul saved?
He was saved by the working of the will of secular authorities. Verse 31: "And while they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. 32 And at once he took along some soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them." So here we see an answer to prayer. First, someone willed to run and tell the commander there was a riot. Second, the commander willed to take it seriously and came to see. Third, the rest of the verse says, " . . . and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul." So their evil will was restrained and they stopped short of killing Paul and the prayers of the Roman Christians 1300 miles away were answered. God influenced the wills of someone to inform the commander, the will of the commander and the will of the mob. And Paul was spared.
But his danger is not over. In chapter 23 Paul is in jail and some of his enemies form a conspiracy to ambush him when he is transferred to Caesarea. They take an oath not to eat until he is dead. Now how will God answer the prayers of the Roman Christians? He influenced the will of a boy, Paul's nephew to be in a place to overhear the conspiracy, and then influenced him to have the courage to tell Paul about it. Verse 16: "But the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul."
Then (vv. 17-23):
"Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Lead this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him." 18 So he took him and led him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to lead this young man to you since he has something to tell you." 19 And the commander took him by the hand and stepping aside, began to inquire of him privately, "What is it that you have to report to me?" 20 And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the Council, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more thoroughly about him. 21 "So do not listen to them, for more than forty of them are lying in wait for him who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they slay him; and now they are ready and waiting for the promise from you." 22 Therefore the commander let the young man go, instructing him, "Tell no one that you have notified me of these things." 23 And he called to him two of the centurions, and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready by the third hour of the night to proceed to Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen."
So not only did God influence the will of the boy to be in the right place at the right time and to have the courage to go tell Paul, but he also influenced the will of the centurion to take the boy to the commander and influenced the will of the commander to take the boy seriously and then to make a plan or Paul's escape. And so again Paul was delivered from the unbelievers in Jerusalem just the way he asked for prayer in Romans 15:31.
Now what about the believers. How did they respond to Paul in answer to the other prayer in Romans 15:31, that his ministry be acceptable to the saints. Acts 21:17-20 gives the answer:
And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 And now the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. 19 And after he had greeted them, he began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. 20 And when they heard it they began glorifying God."
So we don't read anything about the church rejecting Paul or his ministry. God had heard the striving of his people in Rome, and he had acted. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love and joy and that is what Paul met with in the church of Jerusalem. God heard and answered with the love of the Spirit.
I conclude then that Matthew Henry is exactly right: In prayer we seek God to restrain the ill will of our enemies, and we seek God to preserve and increase the good will of our friends, because "God has the hearts both of the one and the other in his hands."
Or to put it simply, In answer to prayer God changes people's wills. This brings us to the very point where we are in our study of providence in the BITC on Wednesday nights. So I will say more then about the results of the sovereignty of God and human accountability..
But in closing this morning ask yourself if you believe this simple and powerful truth about prayer. In response to prayer God changes peoples wills. I pray that the Lord will influence your wills to believe it! And if you do, then consider three implications:
1. Stand in awe of the Lordship of God and his Son Jesus. Paul had said, "I urge you to strive in prayer by the Lord Jesus Christ." Now we see even more clearly that Jesus is the Lord. He is the Lord over the wills of Centurions, and Commanders and mobs and little boys. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him. So stand in awe of your Lord Jesus. Worship him. Trust him. Follow him. And count on him to help you in your longings to see people change.
2. Be glad and rejoice that the Spirit of God is a Spirit of love. Paul had said, "I urge you by the love of the Spirit to strive in prayer." Think what it must have meant for Paul as he came toward Jerusalem to have Christian groups "receive him gladly." "The brethren received him gladly." O how precious is the love of the Spirit when it flows to us from other believers. Be glad that God is like this. Be glad that the Lord of the universe has a Spirit of love. Be glad that that God has both a powerful Son and a loving Spirit. When these two things unite, infinite power and overflowing love, nothing can befall you but what God wills for your good.
3. Finally, don't neglect the amazing influence you have in the world for good through prayer. By prayer God calls us to join him in shaping history. By prayer we are to influence the wills of presidents and kings and senators and governors and mayors (1 Timothy 2:1-2). By prayer we are to influence the wills of professors and writers and entertainers and editors and pastors and elders and missionaries. By prayer we are to influence the wills of our friends and our enemies. We are to influence the wills of our children by prayer, and our husbands and wives and mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and neighbors and colleagues and fellow students.
The amount of transforming good you can do by prayer is incalculable. Don't neglect this great work God has put into your hands. This year let's use both our instruments to win people over to Christ. Let's work to change people's minds with truth and peoples wills with prayer.

Lawmaker wants to ban smoking in a vehicle with children
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- A proposed Ohio law would ban adults from smoking in a vehicle with a child under the age of six.
"We're trying to ensure that the responsible person, the adult, does what is in the best interest of the child," said Sen. Charleta Tavares, a Columbus Democrat who has introduced the bill for the second time in two years.
Tavares says young children don't have the ability to protest riding in a vehicle with someone who is smoking. She worries about the effect of the 4,000 substances in second-hand smoke.
"Children are more vulnerable to the effects of this second-hand smoke because they're still developing," she said.
Her legislation would make it a primary offense, meaning you could be pulled over just for violating the law. Ohio wouldn't be the first to take this action. Arkansas, Louisiana, California, Puerto Rico and Maine along with several municipalities have similar laws. Tavares' bill carries a $500 fine for the first offense. Each additional violation tacks on an additional $250.
Tavares says smoking in a vehicle is much different than smoking in your home around children.
"I don't think we have rooms as small as the inside of a car with the windows rolled up," she said.
The last time the bill was introduced it failed to make it out of committee.

food to be avoided during pregnancy

One of the best foods to avoid during pregnancy is sugar. Another would be flour. During pregnancy you will want to be sure you are getting lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, high quality fats (i.e. avocado, coconut oil, olive oil, nuts and seeds) and high quality protein.
You will also want to eat organic foods when possible, to limit pesticide exposure for your baby.
Warm Regards,

Hi whiterose,
I see you have already had some helpful information from Kate above :-)
You may also find this article useful on Safe Eating and Drinking Before and During Pregnancy. In particular you should avoid: alcohol, caffeine, fish which is high in mercury (this includes: shark, marlin, swordfish, broadbill and orange roughy), soft and semi-soft cheeses (including: brie, Camembert, goat's cheese, blue cheese and ricotta), pate and unpasturised dairy.
Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy,

Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
This Silver Oak Napa Valley is a deep, rich Cabernet Sauvignon with a garnet color and a concentrated nose of cocoa, cassis syrup, coffee, and black licorice. It is extremely full-bodied on the palate and has an incredibly long finish of black licorice and vanilla.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to a big, cocoa-scented nose, a sweet entry on the palate, medium body, and a short, abrupt finish. A modest success for the vintage, it is a friendly, easy-to-drink effort that should be consumed over the next 7-8 years. "
Silver Oak Napa Valley Winery
Silver Oak Cellars was started in 1972 with a simple driving philosphy - to focus production on only one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon. What's more, they resolved to create a wine with a style all its own: not another hard, tannic red wine requiring years of aging to enjoy, but a wine of fully developed flavors and a velvety soft texture on the day it is released for sale.
Silver Oak Cellars produces Cabernet Sauvignon from two appellations. Their Napa Valley derives its fruit from both owned and contracted vineyards, and is produced entirely at their Oakville winery. Beginning in 1994, small amounts of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot have been included in their Napa blend to add complexity and softness.
Silver Oak also produces stellar Cabernet from their Alexander Valley vineyards. A critical reason for the success of this wine, and every wine they make, has always been that they create the final blend before aging it in American oak barrels and then bottles. Over the course of four-and-a-half years, the wine's flavors, aromas, and textures have an opportunity to meld with one another and the wood's delicate qualities to create the kind of graceful cohesion found only in the world's most elegant wines.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

This is the throw made from the luxuriously soft fibers of Cashmere goats that roam near the ancient Silk Road of Inner Mongolia. Hand-combed from the animals' fine, downy underfleece, the fibers are of the highest quality, averaging over 34mm in length and 16.8 microns in diameter. Spun into a 2-ply, 25-weight yarn, and knitted with a high napability and loft, the fibers retain the softness and heat storing properties that allowed their original bearers - the Alashanzuoqi white cashmere goat - to endure the harsh, high-altitude winters of Inner Mongolia's Alashan plateau. With a decorative 3 1/2"-long fringe that imparts subtle panache without restricting movement or snagging in zippers, the throw is an ideal companion for a cold night's stroll, chilly theater, or an evening's shopping. Red. 68" L x 48" W. (8 oz.)

Best Throw I Have Ever Purchased
By Kats
from Omaha, NE
I hesitated to order the throw at first because I thought the red color was too bright. However, I just had a feeling that the throw would work out even though it appeared bright in the image. I received it and was delighted. It was a deeper red rather than a bright red. It blends in with all of my sofa pillows and as well as the color of my sofa. I highly recommend this throw. It is light weight. The fringe cannot get caught in anything the way it is designed. Absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made on Hammacher Schlemmer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A luxury at a great price.
By Runner Girl
from Bettendorf, Iowa
I originally purchased it for myself because I thought it was a great price for cashmere. After using it, I decided that it would be a wonderful gift so I purchased two more to give as Christmas presents.
Feels great
By TheWino
from Florida
I find this throw to be very comfortable. It's uses are endless: watching TV, lying in bed, utilize on a road trip, etc... The long fringes really add a classy look to this blanket. After supplying one for yourself, I believe this would be a great gift idea. I only wish there was an assortment of colors.
Very happy with this high quality piece.
By Heater
from Savannah, GA
Very red, very soft cashmere throw. What's not to like? Very well packaged; arrived on time.
Super soft cashmere in an oversize throw
By lillycally
from Whidbey Island, WA
I keep my throw in the living room, draped over my couch. As it gets cooler, it's so nice to have it close at hand to wrap up in. That's if I can get to it first, before my husband grabs it. Lucky for me, his mother taught him to share.

Andrew Lisi just wrote an excellent piece on sacrifice from Leviticus. I loved this paragraph: But as I was reading through today I came across Lev. 22:21 and immediately saw one of the countless threads rooted in that book of the Bible that's woven throughout Scripture. In Leviticus the perfect animal sacrifice is called for. [Read More…]

Pope, Storm fall two outs shy of no-no
Lake Elsinore celebrates holiday early, beats Bakersfield, 10-0
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | July 3, 2012 9:53 PM ET
Mark Pope allowed two baserunners over six innings and the Class A Advanced Storm took a no-hitter into the ninth before setting for a one-hitter and a 10-0 blanking of the Bakersfield Blaze.
Mark Pope (5-6) issued one walk and did not strike out a batter, with Kurtis Muller reaching on an error in the fourth. Converted outfielder Yefri Carvajal worked the next two innings, striking out two and pitching around a walk. Alexis Lara came on for the ninth and got Reds top prospect Billy Hamilton to ground out before Muller doubled to left to break up the no-hit bid.
"It was awesome, I've never been a part of that before," said Pope, a fifth-round pick in last year's Draft. "The closest I'd ever been was a one-hitter, but that hit was a solo homer, so that didn't even work out to be cool. There's nothing to really compare to this."
Pope said the atmosphere in the dugout and at The Diamond grew more and more exciting as the Storm inched closer to the first no-hitter in team history. A crowd of 7,012 was on hand for a postgame fireworks show.
Pope's teammates took seriously the superstitions typically associated with a no-hitter-in-progress.
"The deeper and deeper [it went], the more my teammates were kind of starting to avoid me," he said. "In the first couple innings, they'd come around and talk to me but not at all at the end.
"Supposedly, though, some kid in the bullpen said something about it [in the ninth] and next pitch, they got a hit. So everyone gave him kind of a hard time about that."
Pope also credited the pitchers who followed him with keeping the no-hitter intact for as long as they did.
"I mean Yefri, he couldn't have done a better job. He was going right after hitters, that was the whole plan we had the whole time, so he did a real good job," the Georgia Tech product said. "And [Lara] did the same thing, just had one pitch that got away from him. But he did a good job."
For Pope, it was his longest start of the season. In his first full season out of college, it's taken a little time to really adjust to pitching at this level, he said. The 22-year-old right-hander sports a 4.85 ERA over 65 innings with 38 strikeouts against 18 walks.
"It's been kind of a big learning process for me this year, but things are starting to come together, click out there on the mound. I was very satisfied [with tonight]," he said.
"It was a big night for us -- [July 3rd], this was our celebration. Had a good crowd, it was a good time to have it."
Pope had a big cushion with which to work almost from the time he took the mound. The Storm scored five times in the first, added a run in the fourth and four in the fifth.
Justin Miller, Tommy Medica, Connor Powers and Chris Bisson each had two RBIs for Lake Elsinore, while Everett Williams went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored.

Draper • Back when farms were common in the Salt Lake Valley, produce stands such as the Jenson Family Farm sold vegetables, often picked that morning, to lucky residents.
But the little wooden buildings filled with squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, beets, potatoes, cucumbers, peppers and eggplant are becoming more rare with each passing year as the farms that produce the fruits and vegetables get plowed under for subdivisions and strip malls.
Jodi Jenson, who for the past 30 years has worked the land her husband's father and grandfather have farmed since 1942, knows this better than anyone.
The family once farmed the ground east of State Street now occupied by the South Towne Mall, the Sandy City Hall and Target. When a subdivision went in to the east of her farm near the small stand at 11905 S. 700 West in Draper, the developer didn't think twice about filling in the irrigation ditches, forcing the Jensons to fight to keep their water.
Though the 100-acre farm was here long before the subdivisions and businesses, nearby residents sometimes complain about farm smells or tractors running too early in the morning. Draper City ordinances prohibit the family from using hand-lettered signs bigger than 2 by 2 feet. I found the stand almost by accident two years ago while searching for Armenian cucumbers for a special pickle recipe my wife makes.
Jenson said Draper City is slowly trying to push her business out by making it difficult to get a permit to sell from the little stand.
Don't get the impression that Jenson is an angry person. Far from it. A sign prominently posted on the wall of the vegetable stand sums up a happy person's philosophy.
"Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change," it reads. "Kiss slowly, forgive quickly, play hard, take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short but to be anything but happy."
As Jenson separates beets in the back of a small trailer, two women drive up to the stand and begin asking questions about potatoes.
"Fresh potatoes," said one lady, trying to decide between red and white. "I've only had those once in my life."
Jenson tells her that one brand of potato was picked yesterday, the other that very morning.
The two women spend $3.
The farmer said many longtime customers stop to ask questions about what they are doing wrong at their home gardens or for advice on canning, information the farmer is more than happy to convey. Some buy bottled goods Jenson has canned and sells. Her favorite? Strawberry rhubarb jam.
But a small sign near a jar with a slit tells much about Jenson. When she, her husband, four children or six grandchildren are all out working the farm, customers can use the honor system to pay for what they buy, leaving the money in the jar on the counter.
"I think the honor system empowers people," she said.
Asked why she started the row crop farm about 30 years ago, Jenson also had an interesting answer.
"I wanted my children to grow up with good work ethics, an understanding of money and to learn how to deal with people," she said.
Perhaps, more than any other reason, that is why it is important to preserve the few farms such as the Jenson operation that are left along the Wasatch Front.
Of course, there are selfish reasons, too. Who can resist biting into a cob of sweet corn picked fresh that day? Can salsa taste any better than when fresh-picked tomatoes and peppers are the main ingredients? And is there anything better than home-canned jam spread across a fresh piece of bread?
Besides, Jenson grows my wife's favorite cucumbers and helps us maintain our own family tradition.

Night karen Dogg, stay awake girl , stay safe…:-D
Night Karen!
I'm another one hitting the road. It's been fun.
See ya round the CDAN this week, guys.
Night ninotchka, bright butterfly dreams…;-)
Night Steam! I can't believe you stayed up til 3 – holy crap.
Go get some sleep.
Well I'm off, this has been fun!
Goodnight all.
Night V, safe trip 🙂
Well guys, I hoped you enjoyed it as much as we did earlier:-\ 😀
I got to go for reals, its 3 am and even leverage is over.
I stag up any later, it will be church pastors and energetic choirs…
Night guys
Bye V, it's been fun snarking the Grammys with you.
She also deserves a read for her opening performance which was godawful.
There's more to being a singer than looking good.
K, I'm out till next week! Ciao!
I'm sure that YouTube has her opening number , go for it. But it better be a good recording that damned fog went everywhere,… 😀
My god, I haven't seen Lindsey Buckingham in a hundred years.
Once upon a time Lindsey, Christine, Stevie and the one I can't think of at the moment had to hold the concert together for about an hour, while Mick Fleetwood puked his guts out off the side of the stage. Good times.
Bey does deserve a read for her fashion choice.
Who woulda thought Lindsey Buckingham could kick ass like that with NIN? Loved it! And always love me some QOTSA … I'm simultaneously attracted & repulsed by Josh Homme – the attraction def wins.
I only remember Paul from Smokey 2 or3?
I did not notice Beyonce Knowles' areoles showing through but it would not surprise me. That dress looked like a throwback to her horrendous House of Dereon days.
I didn't steam, but why do I find that all sorts of crazy wonderful.
I love Lindsey Buckingham. He's on my list.
I love Lindsey Buckingham riffs.
You're welcome Steam, Paul Williams has been around for-fucking-ever. I was shocked to see him up there.
Did anyone else notice the areoles showing in Beyonce's dresses ?
I just watched a doc about Paul Williams…glad to see him sharing in the Daft Punk riches. Random Access Memories was sublime.
Williams! That's the name , all I could remember is Paul!
Thank you thank you
It only took them 21 years to get a non-genre Grammy. And first EDM artists to get AOTY. Proud of my boys!
Thanks, V, I know who they are and their place in rock history. I'm fairly old. I probably would have gone with Richie Havens. Just my taste, I guess.
Is that Paul Williams??? Holy shit – he's got to be 112 years old by now.
Alicia, what the fuck is with the cleavage contouring? Scary looking.
So it's the space helmet guys again? Umm.. well there ya go, Karen.
At least Swifty was shut out all night.
Ninotchka, The Everly Brothers are one of those early influencers, they were also one of the original Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. I think today they have been somewhat forgotten, but they are rock and roll "gods"
The deal is
The tight harmonies inspired the Beatles
Who inspired this generation
And so on….
So ultimately, all music is descended from the Everley bros,.. 😀
In her defense, the Lambert chick looks like she's lost 40 pounds. She's probably starving to death, on Adderal and her husband is a low down drunken dog.
Still, she should be able to sing a simple song.
Frightening hunh…
No energy, couldn't get in the right key til the other guy had to take lead…
Steam, as you advised it would be – that was a painful interlude.
I don't know that it's really necessary to enshrine the Everly Brothers with a musical tribute but whatever, they didn't ask my opinion.
God – there's that Shakira commercial again. That girl has ABS OF DEATH.
That one year while they included everyone went on forever and the stars all complained…:-\
I have to say, the Grammy In Meroriams always feel much more inclusive than the acting ones.
Oh… Richie Havens, that's a big loss.
And Jonathan Winters – genius. Big loss.
Still don't care about Corey Montieth.
Lou Reed – another big loss.
Oh god – here comes that Lambert chick. Looks like she was attacked by a tanning booth and she's going to destroy an Everly Brothers tune.
Why is it that the only rap categories that are ever televised are the ones that Jay Z wins? Do they just really want him to show up or what?
Oops, froze up on me
Steam, it just felt very pandering and underwhelming. Oh well, the intentions were good.
The Dead Pool brought to you by Nuevo Liberace, apparently. That's a hell of a sparkly piano he's got going on there.
Uh-oh, it's the Dead Pool
What an awesome award and more awesome music teacher!
V,O was rather dry myself. Rushed, staged and forced, I couldn't take the vows seriously.
Wonder if its legal?
Yeah, the Bing commercial's a killer.
Seacrest? Oy.
You know, he's a complete tool but he is competent at this announcing hosting thing. Many people aren't.
Yay Kent Knappenberger! Teach more music.
Seven! Imagine dragons was muy excelente!! Would see them again, definitely.
@Steam, yah, good for them I guess.
And Bing's heroic women commercial makes me tear up…go figure.
Teheeeeheeeheee ninotchka
But sherry when's the wedding? Lol
Aww.. that was so sweet.
To crib a couple of phrases from a favorite site of mine…
I'm crying as I type and Madge should die in a grease fire.
The older she gets the more Madonna is morphing into old Bette Davis.
And my heart must be stone…no tears, but then it doesn't help being on a TAPE DELAY
Agreed V. I'm kinda over Macklemore as well. And why did they have Madonna here..Okay battery dead. Later guys!

Mike Tyson Chooses Jamie Foxx To Portray Him In Biopic
Listen to Jamie Foxx Radio on iHeartRadio
Black icons memorialized in biopic films are the hottest thing of this generation, and now one new biopic may be coming to a big screen near you sooner than you think.
During a recent interview with the Associated Press, former heavyweight champion of the world turned actor Mike Tyson says he'd like Oscar winner Jamie Foxx to play him.
"Me and Jamie Foxx have been talking and he's willing to take that role and portray me as Mike Tyson, doing my life story," Tyson said. "I think he's splendid because he's really up to par. I think he would do a magnificent job."
Tyson admitted that Foxx will have to bulk up for the role. "I saw him the other night and we discussed it. He doesn't have the physicality but he will. He's able to [...] get bulky, so he's capable of doing it in the future."
This wouldn't be the first time starring in a biopic for Foxx who has played Nathanial Ayers, and Tookie Williams and won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles.
And Mike Tyson has had a couple of biographical films capture his life already, most notably the 1995 tv movie "Tyson" starring Michael Jai White.
The championship boxer's solo production Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, directed by Spike Lee, will make its way to Toronto's Air Canada Centre on September 10.

The acquisition of the Hostess bread assets strengthens Flowers Foods' position as the second-largest baker in the U.S. by adding brands and bakeries that will enhance the company's ability to steadily expand the geographic reach of its fresh breads, buns, rolls, and snack cakes into new markets. Flowers has experience integrating acquisitions, having completed more than 100 since listing publicly in 1968, including 12 in the past decade.
"These assets fit very well with our strategy to grow our fresh baked foods through market expansion and acquisitions," said Allen L. Shiver, president and chief executive officer. "Consumers across much of the country can expect to see these well-known and loved bread brands returning to store shelves over time."
Flowers' direct-store-delivery system reaches from Maine to Florida and extends throughout the South, Southwest, and west to California. Over the last decade, Flowers has more than doubled the reach of its fresh bread brands--from 38% of the U.S. population in 2003 to 77% of the population today. "We will continue our methodical market expansion, re-introducing the newly acquired brands into markets we currently serve and into new markets as we steadily expand into new regions of the country," Shiver explained.
Earlier this year, the company announced its bid to purchase the assets for $360 million, and the bankruptcy court approved the sale in March. On July 8, Flowers received regulatory approval pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The final acquisition price was adjusted to $355 million as a result of a contemplated purchase price adjustment related to the Butternut trademark.
Shiver said, "Our team has been keenly focused on serving the needs of our customers and the marketplace, and we are seeing the results of our efforts. First quarter sales were up 25.9%, driven primarily by new business gained following Hostess' exit from the market in November 2012 and by incremental sales from previous acquisitions."
A document addressing frequently asked questions on the acquisition has been posted on the Newsroom page of the Flowers Foods Website -- www.flowersfoods.com. Flowers Foods will announce second quarter 2013 earnings on August 13, and management will host a conference call the same day. Management is expected to discuss the company's outlook for second half of 2013 during the call.

Did you know there is data that supports the idea that promotional products work? It's true. In a case study conducted by the American Marketing Association, it was reported that promotional products like custom baseball hats, t-shirts and pens have a high reach and potential for top-of-mind recall; they also reported that these products are an excellent medium to increase and sustain brand awareness.
In other words, people remember the event where they got the imprinted baseball hats, shirts and pens, and they recognize the names of the brands that gave them out. Brand recognition, as every good marketer knows, is important because it lends credibility; people only want to support brands they know to be credible.
What are the best types of promotional products to distribute? According to the study, the most often recalled promotional product category is wearables, at 41%. The categories of wearables that make the biggest impression are:
So as you can see, promotional shirts and personalized baseball hats are both great choices for marketing your business with promotional products. In a close second, writing instruments (yes, pens!) come in at 35%. The survey also noted that drinkware was effective, taking 19% of the market share when it came to effective promotional tools.
Promotional baseball hats are worn by all kinds of people: Soccer moms, hockey dads and golfing grandpas. Everyone needs a go-to cap to shield their eyes from the sun, and why shouldn't those caps have your business name plastered on them front and center? We offer custom baseball hats that work for nearly anyone's style, including the traditional baseball style and the sleeker, more feminine variety. These are imprinted baseball hats that can effectively market any business, including yours! To order personalized baseball hats for your next trade show or event, check out our selection today.

Hofmann was the inventor of LSD and turned Junger onto it in 1951.
Hofmann, Plate 1, shows the moment when Gabriel says: "Blessed art thou among women."
Eggs and a caterpillar, the latter after Hofmann, are figured on Plate 123.
Because Hofmann is an artist, a man gifted with imagination, he sees more clearly, more vividly than the average person.
The caterpillar, after Hofmann, is figured on Plate 1, Fig. 5.
In leaving England, of which he used to speak as his adopted country, Hofmann was probably influenced by a combination of causes.
Like most of the other colours, Hofmann violets are salts of colourless bases.
Now, in the reading-room of Hofmann's Hotel, near the harbour, he wrote him a letter.
Godowsky and Hofmann are as inseparable as were Chopin and Liszt.
Hofmann's violet turns green even with dilute acid, but prolonged washing restores the original violet shade.
