Alistair Overeem NOT Defending Strikeforce Heavyweight Title in Heavyweight GP
- Written by Dave Walsh
There were a few minor announcements on today's Strikeforce conference call, like only the final of the tournament will be a five round fight. Wait a minute, doesn't that fly in the face of the interviews Scott Coker had been giving about every fight being five rounds and every fight with the title being a title fight? Absolutely.
As it turns out, the title is not on the line at all, the winner of the tournament walks away the Strikeforce 2010 Heavyweight Grand Prix Champion, but not the Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion. That means none of Alistair Overeem's fights will be for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship. Honestly, this does not bother me. When it comes down to it, one of my main criticisms of the tournament was the inclusion of the Heavyweight Champion and only his fights being five-round affairs. Many would note some of the "special rules" used in the earlier PRIDE GPs, and I'll be the first to point out that while we got Royce vs. Sakuraba, otherwise the special rules were a waste of time and things probably should have been uniform.
There was some other strange stuff that went down on this conference call (if you've never been on a Strikeforce conference call count yourself as lucky, they are a mess). Some of the other announcements were that there would be a "fourth judge" in case of a draw. This judge? Strikeforce-appointed. I can almost hear the squishing sound of your eyes rolling back into your head, but we'll give it a pass as the chance of a draw is very rare, outside of UFC title fights, apparently. The other announcement was that there will be a five-person committee to decide which reserve fighter to use in the case of a draw. I'm not quite sure why you just wouldn't have two reserve bouts, one for each side of the bracket, and if you reach the finals and neither side has been used, have the winning fighters face off for a 'finals reserve' or something similar.
Can't win them all, folks. The tournament will still be incredible. We still get a tournament featuring Fedor Emelianenko, Alistair Overeem, Josh Barnett, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum, Brett Rogers, Sergei Kharitonov and Antonio Silva.

Premiered in Lausanne on January 2009, Orlando is a theatre performance directed by Amit Drori, following Virginia Woolf's Orlando.
This projections series was a great opportunity to play around with some old ideas on shuffling various media. It was clear that the media used for the 2D images for Orlando is a key issue; expressiveness, clumsiness, richness of colours and freedom of composition - all had to be at hand.
We developed a process in which materials and media are being used and reused again. Nature was photographed, printed, cut with scissors and composed as nature again. The new nature is then photographed once more, using a glass-layered desk, to be finally projected on stage.
A co-production of the Vidy Lausanne Theatre (CH) and the Herzlia Ensemble Theatre (IL).

Greg Griffith jacks a walk-off grand slam into the seats:
I'm not looking toward General Convention 2012 with fear and trembling at all. I looked toward GC06 that way, and GC09, but now I look toward General Convention 2012 only with a knowing smile, and an odd but strangely comfortable sense of satisfaction.
And here is why:
Because I know what will happen in Indianapolis. I know who will gather there… and who will not.
I know what they will do, and what they will not do.
I don't look at GC12 and wonder, "What will become of my parish?", or "What will become of my diocese?", and certainly not "What will become of the Episcopal Church."
I know what will happen: The Episcopal Church will continue its free-fall into irrelevancy and incoherency. Around my diocese and my parish, there will be a few families who leave, but most of them will shake their heads for a moment at the shame of it all, cluck their tongues, then say, "At least our bishop won't be allowing any of that nonsense down here. Nosirree…"
Greg has four words for people who think that. Wake the hell up.
All the while, blissfully ignorant that he has no choice in the matter. Oh, he won't have to cave to the gay cabal any time soon, and perhaps won't ever have to. If he doesn't retire in a few years, he'll be left alone by 815 to serve out his episcopacy in relative peace. But if he succeeds in holding the line, he will, without a doubt, be the last bishop of his diocese to do so. If he or any aspiring candidate thinks his successor will be able to keep from authorizing gay blessings in his churches, he is sadly mistaken. Compliance to the New Order will shortly be a requirement for all incoming bishops.
At this point, it doesn't really matter when the Episcopal Organization began to die.
Some say its fate was sealed when Gene Robinson was consecrated as Bishop of New Hampshire. Some say it was sealed when Bishop Righter was acquitted of heresy charges. Some say it was sealed when the Philadelphia Eleven were illegally ordained. Some say it was sealed when John Spong was allowed, with impunity, to go on a gay-ordination spree. Some say it was sealed when Bishop Pike was allowed to keep his mitre after denying the Trinity.
All that does matter is that the Episcopalians quite happily knocked back the hemlock with their eyes wide open.
He and his compatriots threw in with this agenda, figuring they had found their generation's civil rights movement, and that all the warm social-justice fuzzy which accrued to that movement 50 years ago would accrue to theirs as well. They figured they would be heroes. They figured far more people would applaud them for their courage, and reward with them their presence and contributions, than would ever be alienated and driven off by the depravity and hollowness of their cause.
They figured wrong.
The decline in membership, attendance, giving, and legitimacy in the Episcopal Church has coincided with many things, but make no mistake: There is one and only one thing that has caused it, and that's an abandonment of the core doctrines of the faith in favor of new-age spiritualism, and a celebration of sexual deviancy practiced by perhaps two percent of the country's population.
Read the whole brilliant thing.
For my part, I think that on some level, I knew that the Episcopal Church was doomed at least a decade before I heard the name Gene Robinson. That's a tough thing to admit about the church your mother passionately loved almost as much as she loved you and made a point of having you baptized into.
But make no mistake. The dark forces that eventually gave a pointy hat and a hooked stick to an unrepentant sinner began to dominate church affairs long before 2003. As many of you have quite correctly observed in the comments here, Gene Robinson is inevitable in a church that tolerates John Shelby Spong.
I get that. So why did I stay as long as I did? Rationalization; traditional Episcopalians are past masters at that. The prayer book? Well it's nowhere near as good as it was but it's still Christian, isn't it? Spong? He's just some weirdo back east somewhere. He has nothing whatsoever to do with us.
The fact that you needed Billy Graham to explain the Christian religion to you? Maybe so but I've picked up lots of spiritual insights here. The general brain-dead leftism of the Episcopal Church these days? All the more important for me to stay in as a testimony against it. And on and on.
In 2003, rationalization, at least for me, was no longer possible. Robbie got his pointy hat and my diocese and my parish heartily approved. I could explain John Spong away by saying that he speaks only for himself, not for the wider church and that the best thing to do is to ignore the megalogmaniacal old fraud.
But when your church enthusiastically turns its back on the clear words of Holy Scripture, jettisons 2,000 years of Christian teaching as if it was yesterday's newspaper, dynamites what little possibility of Christian unity there was and begins demonizing opponents of its course, when, in other words, people like Louie Crew, Susan Russell and Elizabeth Kaeton pull off their revolution, then God just kicked the last stepladder out from under you.
You have no more options. So you can either stay where you are and continue to pretend that nothing's wrong(my rector and bishop are perfectly orthodox). Or you can read the signs of the times and admit that while your current rector and bishop are conservatives, their successors will be much more "moderate." Their successors will be more moderate still. And so on and so on.
Eventually, sooner rather than later considering the Episcopal trajectory, you'll reach a Sunday when, during coffee hour following his regular parochial visitation, your new "moderate" bishop tells your parish that he takes great pleasure in introducing you and your fellow parishioners to your new rector.
And his husband.

Good point, Chris. One can see what's happening in the Diocese of Virginia as an example. Bishop Shannon Johnston, Peter Lee's successor, has given several churches in the diocese permission to bless same-sex relationships. For now, the diocese is supposedly tolerant toward those who disagree, and there are still a handful of orthodox congregations left. But what happens in the future when Chuck Alley leaves St. Matthew's in Richmond; when Paul Walker leaves Christ Church in Charlottesville; when John Sheehan leaves Church of Our Redeemer in Aldie?

If the Reverend Grieser is worried about explaining why The Episcopal Church is performing same-sex weddings to his local paper – and as an aside, I really don't see why he's worried, as most papers seem to think it's just the bee's knees – then I pity him trying to sell transgender clergy.
Because that's the next rung on the ladder, and at General Convention 2009 there was already a resolution about transgender rights, and we've already had the first story about Female-to-Male transgender clergyman (and his lovely wife and child – how can you object to a lovely wife and child?)
Never mind explaining why no, the ceremony for Bill and Ted was only a blessing, not a marriage (although yes, in the diocese next door they call it a marriage, but we don't permit that here – yet), try explaining to your local reporter that we are gathered on this solemn occasion to bless the civil partnership of Bill who used to be Jill and Tracey who used to be Ted – oh, and next year, all going well, that will be the Reverend Bill so congratulations!
I apologise if that sounds too flippant about transpersons and their struggles and difficulties, but same-sex blessings are going to be the least of Reverend Geisner's worries. He'll be looking back nostalgically at the days when it was only a matter of having a few prayers and a blessing for Tom and Joe after their registry office ceremony.
February 6, 2012
Chris- this post reminded me that, all other objections to Catholicism aside, we of the Church of Rome at least have the assurance that the Faith we embrace will be in its essentials the same for our children, grandchildren, and so on. Heterodox Catholic bishops of course are known and sadly tolerated, but it's just a matter of time until they too give way to their replacements. This way is self-correcting, but sadly the Episcopalian way holds its own seeds of destruction. Some would say it has always been this way, since Henry VIII lit the fuse with his divorce. Sorry about that. We love you. Please come back.
February 6, 2012
Bravo, Greg, Bravo. Well written.
What happens when good, bible believing rectors move on? The new one swishes in with his entourage to rebuild the church and it failing mission!
What? No GBLT council? No GBLT on vestry? No Wikken services? No tea and cookies for the Occupiers? No liturgical dance with 6′ tall puppets?
WHAT HAVE YOU PEOPLE BEEN DOING? That Jesus stuff? Oh, how quaint!
February 6, 2012
It took 20-25 years to go from allowing the ordination of women to requiring it. How long will it take on the same-sex issue?
As late as 2000, I was watching to see if TEC would draw back from the cliff over which they were dangling their feet. 2003 was a gimme. Even today, when you see that decent men are in fact being made bishops (Love and Martins come to mind), you wonder if it isn't valid to struggle on and outlast the dying liberals. But then you read something like Salve Mater by Frederick Joseph Kinsman, sometime Episcopal Bishop of Delaware and realize the inherent flaw, which is that a bishop has no real authority to stop heresy. You see the heretics gnawing at the vitals of relatively healthy dioceses such as Albany and South Carolina and have to remember the dictum: where orthodoxy is optional, orthodoxy is eventually proscribed. That is, I think, a fair summary of Greg Griffith's post.
Well, I will be watching GC2012, mainly because I want to see how far they go. Will same-sex marriage rites be put in place? My bets are 2015 for civil partnerships and 2018 for "marriage", with some preliminary groundwork now. But you never know. They will have the votes: will they have the nerve? Will someone stand up and object to the money spent on lawsuits? How will the criticism be deflected (and it will)? Even the libs in Pennsylvania got tired of Bennison wasting money, but they couldn't get rid of him.

Just noticed Barney's mention of the Occupy movement and want to share this bit of Occupy goodness:
February 6, 2012
In one of those conservative dioceses, blessed – extremely blessed – to have a wonderful orthodox priest. But in the diocese they just don't get that our days are numbered. Opportunities to advance are lost to egos. If you question, you are ostracized. Rather than take the energy of an engergized laity and putting it to good use, most of the clergy want to protect their interests.
Why stay? Because God is calling us to stay and breathe and speak His word and will to those around us. Don't know what's ahead, but we are being faithful to Him where we are now. We see God working in our parish and it is exciting.
February 6, 2012
while your current rector and bishop are conservatives
No, they're not. Like Lawrence and Harmon they might think they they are, but they are deluding themselves. Like claiming it's OK to be in the KKK because your local branch doesn't hate Blacks, like claiming it's OK to be in the Nazi party because your local branch doesn't kill Jews, like claiming it's OK to be in Planned Parenthood because you local office doesn't kill babies.
No Christian can ever be a member of the KKK.
No Christian can ever be a member of the Nazi Party.
No Christian can ever be a member of Planned Parenthood.
And No Christian can ever be a member of the ECUSA.
February 6, 2012
a celebration of sexual deviancy practiced by perhaps two percent of the country's population.
I think this overlooks the rather broad based embrace of sexual laxity in the general population of TEC, including easy divorce, extra-marital sex and the whole idea that there should be rules binding on Christians regarding to what they do with their bodies.
By the way, Chris, for dyslexics like me, who can jumble words together in the wrong order, your introductory line was a little shocking. 🙂
February 6, 2012
I am not of your persuasion, but enjoy your comments on and take a perhaps unchristian delight in] on the inanities of your church.
"Feeling good" is not going to do it. You are almost in The Church. Why not take the next step? [Hint: Newman's THE DIFFICULTIES OF ANGLICANS"].

FW Ken,
I saw that little bit of excitement… What can you expect from the liberal movements? If you disagree with them they will beat you into submission just to prove they have the moral high ground!
February 6, 2012
Yawn. Nothing new here. The liberal idiot is waking up to the fact that he has talked himself out of a job. If God doesn't care what you do and everyone has their own "Truth", then what do we need him for?
Good one by Greg. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't frequent that site much anymore. What's the point?
February 6, 2012
Excellent commentary by Greg, and you, too, Chris. The Rev. Grieser is presiding over an Episcopal parish in Madison, WI. That is a very liberal university town. It is the place where these over-the-top anti-Scott Walker protests have been ongoing. If he despairs in a place like that, it's really and truly over.
February 6, 2012
TPTB in TEO and in the rest of the infotainment establishment have to push acceptance of buggery because it momentarily distracts them from the readily-visible consequences of having pushed contraception (added bonus: it lets them simultaneously feel smug as to how enlightened they are and surreptitiously look down their noses at the parade of folks who do things more depraved than they themselves do). They can't bear to admit that mistake. The longer they put off that admission, the more damage they'll do to the vestiges of civilization.
We'd be better off if they took up drink – or laudanum – as a coping mechanism instead.
February 6, 2012
I agree that TEC crossed an important line with its toleration of Spong and that made it clear what was coming.
February 6, 2012
Not all is doom and gloom in Madison, Wisc.
Not meaning to be triumphalist here, but I've been looking for an excuse to post the pic of the proposed building all day. Really beautiful!
February 6, 2012
Mr. Griffith knows that Jesus is Lord and He is in charge. Skippie probably thinks Jesus is one of several possible prophets and he is waiting on talking points from the bishop…
February 6, 2012
"I could explain John Spong away by saying that he speaks only for himself, not for the wider church…"
Actually, this can only work in a fairly strict congregationalist system. An episcopal system of governance requires a high degree of accountability through out the denomination. Unless repudiated by the wider church, a false bishop does speak for all. Pike and Spong become just as valid as Lawrence, Salmon, and Iker.
February 7, 2012
Following on the footsteps of that most tolerant and diverse church of that most diverse and tolerant nation" The Church of Sweden!!!!
Once you throw our Chrstian Doctrine and Tradition, you have thrown out the baby!!!!
Can there be a more Faustian contract then: "They figured they would be heroes. They figured far more people would applaud them for their courage, and reward with them their presence and contributions, than would ever be alienated and driven off by the depravity and hollowness of their cause"
The Christian repsonse is: "What does it merit a man if he gains the whole wrold but then loses his eternal soul".
February 7, 2012
Crockodile tears if you ask me.
Just another narcissist priest. A significant number of them within TEC absolutely THRIVE on the dysfunction.
Since the cancer has now taken over nearly the entire body, this is just one priest trying to remember the good old days when they had a great time fighting against someone.
Pyrric victory howl. That is all.
February 7, 2012
Oddly related, but I decided that I can no longer buy Girl Scout cookies (sob! Thin Mints dipped in coffee!) Just because our local troop may not have bought into the close relationship to Planned Parenthood, and may still stress the individual achievements that served me and so many other Girl Scouts over the decades (it's important for a dorky little girl, scorned by the popular girls, to earn the My Pet badge, or the Swimming badge), the national movement is getting terribly confused (transgender scouts, anyone?)
I still haven't figured out how to say no to those appealing little faces outside the grocery store without going into a rant.
The "slippery slope" is something I didn't recognize until I was a late adult, but they're everywhere, aren't they?
February 7, 2012
I would be more interested in following these bishops' meetings myself.
And no, no more Sexy Girl Scout cookies. (I read that Walmart sells knockoffs; I suppose you can find them elsewhere, too.) There are other girls' organizations that can be supported instead.

'And No Christian can ever be a member of the ECUSA.'
Be that as it may, there are plenty of Christians staying in place … for now, in TEC/TEo. They hope to come up for air when the Barge of Filth sinks beneath the waves. Risky business. But a risk some appear willing to take. That ACNA is becoming more viable by the day, the Continuers, and also the new Ordinariate are never far from the minds of these stayers. Rest assured, the contempt for the revisionist junta which rules TEo continues to grow … both within as well as outside of it.
February 7, 2012
It's nice to check in here and see how the ole TEC is doing. Fortunately, having left TEC after Gene Robbie's ordination and the Anglican communion's non-reaction called the Windsor Report, I walked away. Many years now. Never looked back spiritually after I swam the Tiber. But it is disturbing to see the good guys lost. The Leftists truly came up with a masterful plan to take control of the Church.
I saw it was early as 1993, when I was the only person in a roomful of Episcopalians who suggested that same-sex blessings weren't Christian, and if you weren't really ready to repent, you're not really a Christian. But they pushed on, they and cohorts took over the parishes and the episcopacy, and ultimately, won. They weren't bad people.
But they were subject to a very serious spiritual delusion and chose to believe it rather than the truth. I'm sorry they made that choice.

Judge orders trial in Canada dismemberment case
MONTREAL (AP) – A Canadian judge has ordered a former porn actor accused of dismembering his Chinese lover and mailing the body parts to political parties to stand trial on first-degree murder.
Luka Magnotta has pleaded not guilty in the slaying of Jun Lin last May. He is accused of killing the university student and posting a video online that shows him stabbing and having sex with the dismembered corpse.
Quebec court Judge Lori-Renee Weitzman ruled Friday there is enough evidence to send Magnotta to trial. Evidence presented at the hearing is subject to a publication ban.
The prosecution says the trial will take place in 2014.
Magnotta's lawyer had wanted the charge reduced to second-degree murder.

Secret Hotels of Washington, D.C.
Our forefathers worked hard to make our nation's capital great. Unfortunately, not as much effort went into making it affordable. Just in time for our president's inauguration, we found five charming hotels that are refreshingly democratic in price.
Hotel Helix
A Kimpton boutique hotel with surprisingly large rooms—some with kid-friendly bunk beds—and a welcoming attitude to pets.
This boutique hotel's theme is "15 Minutes of Fame"—meaning guests are invited to think of themselves as celebrities. When you enter the lobby, red drapes open as if you're stepping onto a stage, the check-in desks look like podiums, and the walls are lined with Pop Art-style photos of actual celebrities. The lobby Helix Lounge is popular with guests and locals alike, thanks to its fun drinks and, during happy hour, half-price burgers; in winter, its spacious outdoor terrace is kept cozy with heat lamps. The rooms are surprisingly large—from 400 to 800 square feet—and even the smallest options have separate dressing areas. And in spite of the fact that the modern décor is heavy on bright colors and hard, sleek surfaces, the property still manages to feel homey. A bonus for families: Some rooms have bunk beds fitted into an alcove with a second flat-screen TV, so the kids can watch cartoons while parents tune out. Even Fido is welcome and, to prove it, the staff will provide treats, beds, bowls, and bottled water. Outside your room you'll find Logan Circle, home to eclectic shops and restaurants-and a Whole Foods if you're looking for the familiar. Be aware that rates fluctuate wildly depending on the season. You might find rooms for $99 or as high as $500. Weekends tend to be cheaper, as do low seasons like late summer and Dec-Jan.1430 Rhode Island Ave. N.W., hotelhelix.com, from $99 per night.
Adams Inn
A cozy trio of early 20th-century houses with a communal vibe, a large garden, and a pet-friendly policy.
You'll find the Adams Inn in Adam's Morgan, a neighborhood where restaurants wave flags from five continents and the bars crank up the music and host live bands. The trio of early 20th-century brick-town houses hasn't strayed far from its original roots as a group residence. More than half of the 26 rooms come with private baths; the remainder must share (ask the front desk for complimentary necessities like shampoo, conditioner, and shaving cream before you strip down). The pragmatic, only-what-you-need furnishings are dated in a good way. The color palette is soothing, and there's a refreshing absence of noise boxes (no TVs or phones). Two kitchens and numerous dining nooks mean you can save money by preparing meals or reheating leftovers. There is also a laundry facility in the basement. 1746 Lanier Pl., adamsinn.com, from $99 per night (shared bath), $129 (private bath).

Yesterday, though, we received numerous emails alerting us to the bizarre nature of yesterday's podcast. For one, it was more than three and a half hours long instead of the usual 22 minutes; for another, it started with audio of a man talking about brining turkeys and continued with sometimes inaudible, bizarre chatter. (Nine minutes of an Al-Jazeera broadcast and an advertisement for computer security also make an appearance.) Advertisement For reasons we're still trying to figure out, that chatter is from the Washington, D.C. studio where ESPN tapes Around The Horn and broadcasts PTI. It allows the listener not only to eavesdrop on what hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon talk about during commercial breaks, but to observe how the production of the program comes together—from debating which side of an argument each co-host will take, to the clever editing of pre-taped interview segments (in this case, with Peter King) to excise anything ESPN doesn't want on-air. At one point, Wilbon drops a "goddamn" and "bullshit."As of this writing, the full audio file is still in its place and pretending to be the podcast of yesterday's episode. But to save you the hassle of listening to a very, very long audio file, we've broken it down into its best, and occasionally profane or suggestive, moments. Listening to the whole recording is somewhat like those bootlegged tapes from the Beatles' Get Back sessions: long periods of silence punctuated by people saying things that may or may not be interesting. Here's the interesting stuff. Advertisement 0:00:00-0:13:49: This is audio from The Chew, an ABC cooking show. It's followed by a lot of creepy noises and footsteps that sound like one of those CDs you play outside your house to scare trick-or-treaters.0:36:00: A female (producer?) remarks on Mitch Albom's having appeared on the network earlier in the day, and calls him "phony sweet."0:41:33: Kornheiser discusses his upcoming trip to Florida, and complains about the hotel rates at The Breakers.0:42:30: Peter King and Kornheiser discuss the latter's recent knee surgery.0:52:50: In the pre-taped "Five Good Minutes" segment, Peter King discusses Jon Gruden's future and remarks that ESPN would be unhappy if he were to leave, having just kicked Ron Jaworski out of the booth. This was edited out of the broadcast on television.0:55:17: Wilbon rants about how "goddamn offensive players" aren't held responsible during helmet-to-helmet hits for lowering their head, and asks, "What kind of bullshit is that?"1:09:00: Tony Kornheiser discusses his drinking preferences, and states, "You can drink the cheap stuff so long as you drink the good stuff first."1:24:45: Tony Reali praises Wilbon's performance during a soccer discussion, to which Wilbon responds, "Soccer blows."1:34:25: Kornheiser elaborates on hot actresses and plastic surgery, specifically Marlo Thomas.1:46:30: Reali names some actresses he'd like to see on pay cable, i.e., naked. Advertisement Sponsored There's about 50 minutes of silence after that, followed by nine minutes of Al-Jazeera. After that, 40 more minutes of silence before the Carbonite ad that closes the program.Less provocative, but interesting, moments include Kornheiser discussing which side he'd take during the Ed Reed debate (revealing the not-so-shocking news that the show's hosts aren't always speaking their actual opinions on the program) and Reali recording what sounds like a patch-in edit for Around The Horn to address the news that Reed's suspension had been lifted—news that arrived after the show was taped, but before it aired. ESPN's been airing its sausage production inadvertently a lot lately, but we can't figure out for the life of us how this file came to be yesterday's podcast episode. If you know anything, drop us a line. Reply45 repliesLeave a reply

The Sunday JimOnLight.com Flickr Pool Post
I am really enjoying the images that have been hitting the JimOnLight.com Flickr Group lately – lots of very interesting stuff! Â Check out a handful of images this week – I had a hard time picking out just five, that's for sure!
(that's why there is more than five…)

I tried OPA2111 and OPA2227 on mine, and they are better than the stock one. The 2111 have more bass than the 2227.
The RPAC is different, it sounds more "natural" and warm than the mini.
I tested with a SR60, I'll give more details when I'll receive my 4.Ai

Destination Wedding Witchery Man
Linda Gorringe Couture
This Fiji destination wedding is the stuff that dreams are made of; crystal clear water, sunny skies, coconut cocktails and image after beautiful image by Feather + Stone. Sal and Cal loaded up and shipped off from Australia for a week long celebration at Wananavu Beach Resort Fiji with 90 of their friends and family in tow. What resulted was a picturesque wedding, lots of fun in the sun and a scrumptious day after session to cap things off. Be sure to stop by the gallery for a whole lot more where these pretties came from and now without further ado… From Fiji with love.
Click here to see the entire gallery of images!
From Feather + Stone…We're Seth and Tenielle based out of Australia (however, we are available for US weddings)!
Sal and Cal's home is in Melbourne, Australia but they planned an exotic getaway to celebrate with their loved ones in paradise. And paradise it was. Aqua water, lush greenery, palm trees and hibiscus's as the backdrop. They decided to tie the knot in Fiji simply because they wanted their wedding to be laid back and fun. Many of their family and friends live in different countries and they don't get to see them nearly enough. Rather than just celebrate for 'one day' they wanted create a relaxed atmosphere and a memorable week long celebration for all their guests. This also meant that she could hand the planning over to the resort who did the most amazing job taking care of everything.
Sal didn't just leave it there though, she brought over 100's of photos of all their loved ones to create a whimsical photo collage for the reception, strung between 2 palm trees, strings of orgami cranes (symbolising wishes coming true) a goodies table full of their favorite sweets and beautiful simple decor on the tables. Their reception was outdoors under the stars with loads of tiny white lanterns weaved through the palms. They ended the night with fireworks overlooking the turquoise harbor.
We stayed with Sal & Cal and the guests for 4 blissful days and we were treated like family from the very beginning. They are a beautiful couple with warms souls and it didn't surprise us that 90 family and friends made the trip to come and celebrate with them in Fiij. Sal and Cal said everything about their wedding in Fiji exceeded their expectations, from the moment they stepped off the plane all the way through to leaving for their honeymoon on nearby Matamanoa Island. The day before we left we couldn't let the opportunity slip by with such beautiful people in a magic place so we snuck them away for a "day after" session and we're so glad we did.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Ryan: No Compromise On Sequester If Romney Wins (VIDEO)
Ryan was referring to legislation House Republicans passed earlier this year to avert sequestration -- the penalty Congress imposed on itself, on a bipartisan basis, for not reaching an agreement on more targeted legislation to reduce the deficit. Sequestration will cause deep, abrupt cuts to both defense and non-defense programs starting early next year, and for the next 10 years, unless Congress overturns it or replaces it with other savings.
A number of high-ranking Democrats and Republicans have concluded that the election will determine how Congress avoids both the sequester and the impact of the expiring Bush tax cuts. Ryan says if Romney wins they'll advance the GOP's plan and use the budget process to avoid a Democratic filibuster.

This thread might make a good newb sticky. OR and BTB your posts were spot on.
One thing I have loved about 5/3/1 is that once you get the main lift protocol (the 5/3/1) aspects down, you can adjust the accessories to fit your desires. Since the cycles are only 4 week cycles, I have experimented to find what fits my schedule and life or moves me toward my goals best. 1st cycle I followed the Periodization Bible Template, 2nd wendler's BB template, 3rd and 4th cycles I used a hybrid of 5/3/1 and Baby Got Back. My next cycle, starting tomorrow, will be a fullbody 3 day cycle. The key, is as Steve (BTB) wrote, focus on big lifts, compounds, and build around those.

ORANGE PARK, Fla. - An Orange Park couple is thanking their dog for waking them up just before their home went up in flames.
The fire early Tuesday morning destroyed nearly everything in Thomas Tyson and Cynthia Taylor's home, but their dog Harley's barking woke them up in time for them to escape unharmed. The couple didn't have a smoke detector, so they said without Harley, it would have been too late for them to get out.
It was 2:30 a.m. when the fire started, and they were sound asleep.
"I just heard him barking," Tyson said. "I wasn't paying attention. I heard him barking and I wake up, and there's flames kind of like it was on my side of the bed."
With flames inches from his face, Tyson grabbed his girlfriend Taylor and ran to get water. They looked for a fire extinguisher, anything to get the flames under control, but by the time they got back, everything was burning.
"It was crazy to have a fire waking up to in the middle of the night. You know what I mean? That is crazy," Taylor said.
SLIDESHOW: Rescue dog credited with saving lives
The fire destroyed nearly everything inside, but the couple walked away alive, all thanks to the warning from their American Bulldog.
Tyson got Harley four years ago from a kennel. He was just a puppy and in pretty bad shape.
"The other dogs were chewing on his ears, and he had really bad worms," Tyson said. "His stomach was so swollen up it looked like he was about to bust. But he just looked at me with those big old eyes of his and I just had to get him."
It's a decision Tyson is glad he made, and he said Harley is going to get more than a few doggie treats for heroic effort.
"He's going to get a few steak dinners," Tyson said. "I'm really happy he's our dog and he saved our lives."
Tyson's sister was also in the house when it caught on fire. She made it out OK.
The Orange Park Fire Department said it doesn't know exactly what caused the fire, but it is not suspicious. Firefighters said it did start in the couple's bedroom.

Robert Wright's book "Nonzero" isn't exactly new (2001), but it deserves a place here as it raises a parallel discussion to this Blog's primary focus: the effects of the organizing patterns of hierarchy and rhizome. Wright's basic premise is that there is a basic trend towards an increase in non-zero-sum interaction in humanity, and that this leads to directionality in history. As a foundation, a zero-sum interaction is one where one party wins, and by default the other loses. A non-zero-sum interaction, or a positive-sum interaction, is one where both parties win. International trade is generally given as an example of positive-sum interaction: both parties exchange goods that are locally available to the benefit of all (A note of caution: one of the main themes of "open source), economic or cultural swarming (i.e. productive flash mobs) and localized energy capture (cooperative, localized passive solar or gardening). The ultimate effect of non-zero-sum activities may actually be the localization of sovereignty.
In fact, Wright's concept of a positive-sum driven directionality in history is nothing new. Anthropologists have long used the term "intensification" to describe the tendency of human society to grow increasingly large, complex, centralized and hierarchal as a result of the accumulation of non-zero-sums in leadership, warfare, agriculture and industry. What Wright's "Nonzero" fails to acknowledge is that this intensification (or to use his more benign term, "directionality") results in the increase of phenomena that are increasingly incompatible with human genetic ontogeny—what our fixed genetic code requires for us to lead healthy, happy, productive lives. "Non-zero" does create more wealth to spread around, but it tends to increase hierarchy and stratification in the process, resulting in less wealth for most, and a dramatic increase for a few. Non-zero also creates entities that require increasingly large investments in information processing—acting as a brake on efficiency that further compounds the incompatibility of hierarchy and stratification with our ontogeny. Finally, non-zero is one in a long line of historical trends that continue for a long time as long as certain underlying supports remain in place—namely the ongoing availability and increase in high-surplus energy supplies. How much of non-zero-sum increases have been driven by the external evolution from wood power to coal power to oil power, or from the ability to derive an increasing number of calories from an acre of land through use of petroleum based fertilizers? In my opinion, the "miracle" of non-zero-sum interaction is more a mirage of increasing hierarchy driven by trends in energy and communication. Even if these trends continue forever, they will increasingly run in to the brick wall of a fixed human ontogeny. But non-zero is not a failed concept—far from it, it is fundamentally valid. We must simply recognize that it has potential—perhaps greater potential—to facilitate the growth of a human compatible rhizome structure.

This is one of the reviews i did on Naruto Chronicles 2
Ok i'll start off with the gameplay the gameplay i'll give it 9 out of 10. I really like the multiplayer and the action the multiplayer make it alot of fun because you can do the story mode with your freinds and it made the story easier because my partner take on the same amount of enimies as me. But the story shouldv'e been longer than 10 chapter that was a dissapointment right there.The story mode wasn't as difficuilt as i thought it would be i guess the hardest battle was the final boss all the other bosses were easy to take down to me.I also like the multiplayer versus mode i can now face my freind on the game with my favorite naruto character. Another thing i like was the missions some were callenging some not so much but it was a nice addition to the chronicle. The action was good the attack for each character was nice except the chidori for sasuke i don't see why he have to jump and do it maybe it might do more damage but it should just stay on the ground. And garras sand rain it wouldv'e been better if it was a wall of sand in front of him and then the wall of sand shoot sand kunais. The graphics were good the battle feild had a pretty good long area to fight in. The sound were great the opening part when you start the game couldv'e had a diffrent music. I was surprised to see naruto turn one tail when he turned kyubbi i was surprised because he doesn't turn one tail in the anime until his fight with sasuke and america isn't even there yet. But a dissapointment was that sasuke can't turn curse mark or anything like that i don't get why you have a one tailed naruto but no curse mark sasuke. I believe i didn' missed anything so this is the end of my review.
If you had to rate out of 10 what would you give it(to me i couldv'e done better 8/10 :o)

Parkinson's Disease and Depression
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
Depression is common in people who have Parkinson's disease. Sometimes it is caused by the disease itself. Or it can be caused by the distress that comes with having any long-term, disabling illness. Taking care of yourself emotionally is an important part of staying healthy.
If you are feeling sad or depressed, ask a friend or family member for help. Think about what might be causing or adding to your sad feelings.
- Certain medicines may cause depression. Review with your doctor or pharmacist all of the medicines you are taking.
- Get regular exercise, and eat a balanced diet.
- Get enough sleep.
- Socialize. Don't cut yourself off from friends and family. Laughter and humor may help you overcome feelings of sadness.
- Stay active. Parkinson's disease may limit your activities, but it does not necessarily mean that you cannot work or continue doing many of the activities you enjoy.
If feelings of sadness persist, or if you have symptoms of depression, talk to your doctor. Medicine often can improve symptoms of depression. Make sure your doctor knows what medicines you are taking, because certain medicines taken to treat Parkinson's disease may interfere with certain antidepressants.

Operator: Good morning. My name is Kirk, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I'd like to welcome everyone to the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. Thank you.
CEO, John Gilbertson, you may begin your conference.
John S. Gilbertson - CEO and President: Thank you very much, Kirk. Good morning. I'd like to thank you for attending the AVX conference call regarding the results for our fourth quarter that ended in March. I am John Gilbertson, and with me today are Kurt Cummings, AVX's Chief Financial Officer. And we hope that you've had a chance to review our earnings release that was issued this morning.
The March quarter sales of $360.5 million came in better than anticipated, partially as a result of a stronger demand from our manufacturing customers who are launching new products. We had about $8 million of additional Tantalum product sales manufactured by plants we purchased from Nichicon in early February 2013. We are optimistic on revenues as even the base business met our projection exclusive of the acquisition.
Our backlog rebounded late in the quarter as some movement was seen in the distribution market, but these orders were not for immediate delivery. Our 90-day backlog increased almost 2% when compared to the end of December. This is the most positive movement we've seen in some time. The gross book-to-net bill was 1.04 to 1. Today in April it's much stronger than that.
The real positive was the activity with several of our key distributors. As always, some distis moved before others, and we need another quarter to see if others will follow in restocking, which has reached a low level in the total industry inventory.
The order and sales activity during the March quarter were impacted by the Asian New Year holiday, as is typical, but it did not limit our activity as significantly as last year. Following the holidays, we continue to see selling price pressures in this uncertain environment. As we have mentioned previously, when orders moderate, there tends to be more spot pricing, yet in general, we were satisfied with our margin performance considering the overall sales level and mix of product.
The inventory situation, particularly in distribution channel, on an overall basis continues to decline during the March quarter, reflective of the caution in the marketplace. Our shipments to distribution channel decreased 1.5% from the December quarter. This is not unusual, as December quarter has much more consumer activity. At this time we would say we're still on a period of inventory moderation, but seeing some positive movement. This quarter the distribution channel represented 38% of our overall shipments.
We expect that the distribution channel will increase, but again, we feel comfortable with our position in this channel when inventory requirements improve. At this level of inventory even a modest improvement in end market demand could cause constraints on supply.

Rhinoplasty Revision - Beachwood, OH
Dr. Guyuron did revision. Imo he is an exceptionally skilful surgeon, combining that skill with exquisite artistry. The very best in his field. It would be a mistake not to consult with this surgeon if you want to undergo plastic surgery. (All images were taken far out after surgery with Dr. Guyuron).

Rhinoplasty - Cleveland, OH
When took off the cast and saw my new nose for the first time. I was speechless and overwhelmed with happiness. Dr Guyuron, words cannot explain how I feel about the job you did on my nose ,but I'll try to explain, it's absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pinched myself to see was I in a dream. This is the best result I could possibly ever imagine. MY NEW NOSE IS PERFECT FOR ME !!!!!! I'm in awe of how amazing it is. You have to be the worlds best plastic surgeon. I was so happy I took your advice and got a rhinoplasty done while I was getting the migraine surgery done for my deviated septum. I'm so so so grateful to you. Thank you so much! Steve

dr. guyuron is very easy to talk to and he understands well exactly what you want. he will tell you exactly what he will do in the surgery so you have a better understanding of what you will get. you get the consultation and you also see him again the day before the surgery.

Surgeon Turned Miracle Worker - University Heights, OH
Dr. Guyuron has exceeded my expectations on all levels. He has given me back my life. He has shown compassion, and willingness to do whatever it takes to make me better. He has went to extremes to make sure that I could get healthy again and live a pain free life that is free of migraines. He has explored many avenues and he has always kept his promise. He is very different from all of the other doctors I have seen. He is not trying to just put a 'band-aid' on the problem with medications he is actually looking for the permanent fix. My specific case was extreme and severe, and I am currently one month out from my 4th procedure with Dr. Guyuron and have had no migraines in a month, which quite frankly is a miracle. I recommend him to everyone, and let them know that he is a miracle worker and he will not stop until he solves the problem, and fixes it.

Dr. Guyuron was very directed and focused. He listened to me and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I always felt very comfortable in his presence and with his professionalism. He was always prompt and on time. Never did I have to wait excessively at his office. His post operative care was excellent and thorough. He really cares about the outcome. Additionally, I cannot say enough about his staff. They were extremely professional and courteous and seemed to go out of their way to make me feel comfortable.

Pharrell with his wife and Karolina Kurkova
Nice to see Pharrell's still friendly with his ex. Doesn't seem like Helen's too happy about it though.
ReplyCancelEmma Watson looks FIERCE and that is all the good I have to say about this set. Go, Emma!
I love the irony in the Cara Delasagne pic. Who knew they gave out style awards for looking constipated?
ReplyCancelI don't get Suki Waterhouse. She's super pretty…but not like a model. Is she related to someone?
ReplyCancelAye! Someone get me to LensCrafters! I've always read her name as Carla, but just realized (from another commenter's post) that it's Cara.
ReplyCancelWTH does Jessie J have on?
Kylie is a little to "mature" to wear that short a dress.
What is Michelle running from?
I think Emma Watson looks gorgeous, oozing class. Jessie J? Notsomuch.
ReplyCancelEmma Watson looks fantastic! As does Katy Perry
Hey! I found out why Pharrell Williams kept wearing that stupid hat before! It was a tribute to Jamiroquoi (sp) to whose video he did an homage. Let nobody say NBA All Star Weekend is good for nuthin'!
ReplyCancelYeah, even though that dress — which is designed based on a bow and looks from the front like weird pantaloons — is far from my favorite, Emma always delivers the class and the beauty and the elegance.
ReplyCancelI did too @Meg!
Yay @TTM Niceness about mah boo!
Kylie is teeny tiny!
Is that Emma trying to do a sexy look? That is much better than her attempts to dress sexy. One of the few pics of her since the pixie cut days where her hair don't look like crap, too.
ReplyCancel@Sherry, I agree with you…the dress is too young for Kylie.
I love Emma Watson's sense of style.
ReplyCancelKylie is flawless! She doesn't look a day over 30. Love Katy's dress. I think Michelle is running out of the car, trying to catch Cara before she changes lovers.
ReplyCancel"It's all about the money, money!…money, money…"
There's pics of Michelle going in the limo with white pants, then coming out wearing her drivers long coat and her eyebrow girlfriend, carrying said white pants. Vid please!
ReplyCancelAm I the only one who thinks that Michelle Rodriguez is always doing her own version of parkour?
ReplyCancelEmma looks relatively good here…very confident.
Lily/Rita/Michelle/Cara(Please stop with all the drunk/stupid faces).
Kylie and Katie (unusually – Katie) look great.
Pharell..The hats all make sense now.
YOU ARE.oh.so.short. (but so am i, tbh)
Ahhh. I can't take it..
Jenny J ( who?) Those boots, those knees! Were you giving bj's down the carpet? Love how the dress skirt points to the moneymaker..
I can see why Cara has body issues if she sees herself like that unfortunate pic.. Pretty early for a sobriety test
Is Michelle exiting a cop van?
Suki, is your head too heavy with deep thought? Jeeze, that wine glass hides the Entire salad course.
Micro portions- so it looks like you eat
Suki Waterhouse should stop doing her own hair. It's been an outdated mess every appearance. She has no idea what's really going on with hair styles.

I'm still trying to find a way to lower my awd coupe, but so far I've been unable to find any kits specific to the car.
There is a link for eibach awd coupe 11-12 eibach lowering coils[COLOR="Silver"]
here it is http://www.tunersdepot.com/Suspensio...AWD-95666.html
The Lowering Springs offered on this page are designed to specifically fit a Cadillac CTS produced during the following model years: 2011, 2012 or 11, 12. Please also note any specific model notes on the product title at the top of the page.
While it may fit other vehicles, Please try the vehicle search on the center of our main page. or email us if you have any questions.

This is from the website also
You can order these, I did as well. But then you will realize that they never ship. I called tuners depot and they stated they ship it directly from the manufacturer. Upon calling eibach, I was told that they are still prototype springs that have not been mass produced yet. I let tuners depot know, they apologized and refunded my money
Go ahead and order these, and I will be amazed if you actually receive them, before April that is.
Eibach informed me directly that the proline is in very low demand, and they have no plans of making a Sportline set at this time. The representative told me April is the target date to begin manufacturing the proline springs, but there are no guarantees

Normal, the user like 'S-1-5....' is a domain account. After your
computer is added into a domain (AD), the administrator account of the
domain is added to your local administrators group automatically. And
when you browse the security property of the folder, OS will query the
real name of that domain user. Before the query is done, you'll see
the name is 'S-x-x-xxx'.

Since the lure remains effective for three weeks, instead of two, the Montgomery, Ala.-based Southeastern Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation (SEBWEF) is reporting the reduction in needed man hours could save growers an estimated 85 cents to $1.25 per acre.
The technology supporting Super Lure was licensed from Cotton Incorporated to the SEBWEF in 2002 on a royalty free basis. Last fall, the SEBWEF tested the lure on 300,000 of Georgia's 1.5 million acres of cotton to confirm results.
Those tests were extremely successful, and according to Jim Brumley, executive director, SEBWEF, the Super Lure will be used this year in 100 percent of the cotton fields in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
"Additionally, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture is using the Super Lure on tests plots throughout the state," explains Brumley. Officials at the SEBWEF think all post-eradication acres in the Southeast will be using the Super Lure by next season's crop.
An added benefit and savings of using Super Lure is that it allows traps to be placed every 20 acres, instead of one to every 10.
Although Cotton Incorporated has only issued a license to the SEBWEF, it can be licensed by other boll weevil foundations across the Cotton Belt. "We have received several calls regarding licensing this technology from other foundations," explains Brumley, "but the majority of the areas have small acreage in post-eradication zones."
Officials think Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and possibly Kansas, may use the technology as they ease into post-eradication. Because the lure was created with funding from the Cotton Research and Promotion Program, growers will not incur an added technology fee in addition to their boll weevil eradication assessments. The license is available only in the United States.
The Super Lure works off a patented "pheromone enhancement" that extends both the effective life and efficiency of a boll weevil trap's bait chip. Gerald McKibben, who retired from the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Boll Weevil Research Unit in Starkville, Miss., developed the technology with research dollars funded by Cotton Incorporated.

In reply to a very kind blogger, who is looking into some of the ideas of Christianity's and other worldviews, I decided to respond to a few of the questions seen on the variety of issues that they have been discussing. This includes giving a little of my view on God as Creator, the meaning of Genesis and the 'image of God', and the idea of God using evolution as a tool, as well as God's love and the idea of why God's seeking of worship and prayer are expressions of altruistic love for humanity. In addition, a possible understanding of God's overall plan for reality is presented, together with its relation to the Gospel and the Atonement, before presenting a brief case for the rationality of the Christian worldview. As such, this post discusses a variety of issues.
My understanding is that God is, in essence, analogous to a non-physical Mind, i.e. a Mind (an entity which is able to think and reason) which is independent of everything physical. As such, God is not some 'old man sitting on the clouds' figure somewhere in the sky; instead, being the Creator of everything physical (from the Earth to the Solar System to the Milky Way to every single entity within this universe, and any other universes that may exist) He transcends everything physical. The meaning of being the Creator is not having to adhere rigidly to the first few chapters of Genesis as though they are meant to be a scientific textbook; instead, the meaning (in my view) of God as Creator is that everything exists is dependent on Him, and would not exist without His conscious choice that it would exist.
As such, since time is an entity, God created time itself – the very 'space-time continuum' itself – and, as such, He is also independent of the influence of time. This does not imply that He cannot interact with time-bound agents such as humankind, but does mean that He is able to view the past, present and future all at once, with the wholeness of everything, every second, every inch, every person, under His supervision.
God's love, worship and prayer, and plan for Creation
My view is that one of God's highest moral attributes is agape love, which refers to love that disregards and sacrifices the self for the sake of the other, love which is unconditional. In fact, God's very essence consists of love; as the writer of 1 John states, 'God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.' (1 John 4:16b) God's justice is in harmony with His love: He is just because He is loving, and is loving because He is just. Even what is spoken of as 'God's wrath', in my view, is analogous to that of a father or mother's concerned anger at a child, or analogous to what we feel when we see a bully abusing a helpless individual; it is a passionate expression of active love, which may be painful to experience and is avoidable, but ultimately has a perfectly good purpose.
In fact, God does everything for a loving purpose; it seems to me that God's very reason for the creation of the universe is in order to love. God is not self-seeking or negatively egocentric; to the contrary, the very idea of the coming of Jesus portrays the opposite. God is a fountain of self-sacrificial love. My view is that God seeks worship not in some need of His own, but instead on behalf of those who worship, that they may be joyfully transformed in love and compassion as is God's will; this idea follows neurological research (such as that presented in 'How God Changes Your Brain', written by two agnostic neuroscientists) that meditation and contemplative practices have a beneficial effect on developing the brain (to such an extent that the differences are recognisable in scans).
In my view, God's relational character involves intervening in reality, hence the reason why He didn't just choose to create the universe and then let it move along on its own; intervention does not imply an imperfection, but simply part of the fulfilling of a perfect, personal (rather than impersonal) plan. A major component of the Christian view is that this present life is not the entirety of human existence, that God has wonderful plans for individuals that surpasses their physical deaths. It is not a case of a person surviving their own death, but rather the case that God preserves a person's mind (rather like a computer program) in spite of their physical death, so that the 'program' of a person's mind can be run elsewhere.
My view is that, since humanity becomes estranged from God, who is by nature self-giving love, as it engages in the atrocities such as those seen in the last century, and because a relationship requires both parties to be willing, God transforming a human soul can also be described in terms of reconciliation. If God sees that a person reaches out to Him, He joyfully transforms them and restores their relationship with Him, which beforehand God had been unwilling to force onto a person. It is, as such, analogous to accepting an offer to be adopted. In this understanding, the message has two parts, both the restoration of a relationship with God, which is reconciliation, and the consequent opening up of a person's heart to be transformed by God, so that the perfect, free society planned by God to exist may be possible. God takes into account the free choice of the individual and does not impose these actions upon them. As such, God is always reaching out to humanity waiting for humanity to reach out to God to be reconciled; Jesus' parable of the Lost Son is a wonderful metaphor of this process (found in Luke 15).
Now, in relation to a few specific, and very legitimate, questions that the blogger at 'Wanton Soul' brought up here:
1) Is Christianity based around forced subjugation, or some sort of mental slavery, of its followers?
Firstly, I would definitely agree with the comments made by others in reply to this objection, which give 'submission' as an alternative, and more representative word, than 'slavery'. In fact, it seems that we can go further than that; the New Testament teaching is, in fact, the idea that we are actually 'set free' by trusting in Jesus; John 8:32 would be a major example, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." The idea is that we are set free in order to be able to love others, and grow to love the truth and love mercy and justice to such an extent that being kind and compassionate is what we naturally desire to do, and being selfish is alien to us. It's not a forced subjugation; instead, we are called to be free, and it is meant to be a joy and not a burden: "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:30) We're released from burdens such as addiction, death, and bitterness, not burdened even further.
In Jesus' ministry there seems to be a major theme of turning expectations around. As such, He insists that the poor are the ones who will be blessed, rather than the rich. He offers a life filled with joy, not bound to the 'ups and downs' of circumstances, which, being based on finding joy in having compassion for others and being accepted by God, does not entail the associated suffering of others. The whole idea of it being 'Good News' is that it is, indeed, 'good' – better than anything we've heard in the past, better that even our best expectations of reality, but still well-evidenced.
2) What about those Christians who protest violently against issues such as homosexuality? Is Christianity all about excluding others?
3) Does Christianity require sacrificing one's intellectual sanity?

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.39 / 5.00 7,014 ViewsJust playing around with flash. If you want to see the comic this was based from check out ninjaburger .com!
Ninja Burger FTW!!!!!!!
Although this wasn't even close to the best animation I've ever seen, I had to do with Ninja Burger, so I had to watch. Not bad, though the Ninja Burger book should be made into a flash movie for better results.
now there is a short and sweet movie! not to mention... tasty looking! hahah.
graphics were good - ninjas, the chef, and the weapon were all well drawn.
animation was good - right from the beginning, very nice animation.
sound was great. it was the best part of the movie. great music (no one dislikes that track), awesome sound effects, and the voice quality was great!
so excellent work dude. a very funny little movie.
overall score: 7/10
Haha this was funny, i love the audiom and nice backrounds, also col effects like the action scenes, a decent and funny flash keep it up...
Keep up the good work.
Hopefully this makes it (is kinda close right now) 1.85

I have two computers: A) a Kubuntu Desktop machine that I do all of my work on B) a Ubuntu Server that runs a LAMP stack and nothing else. The server will be publicly accessible on the internet. Since the server is on the same LAN and is literally 15 feet away from my desktop machine, it seems absurd to FTP the files across the internet to get to a computer on the other side of the room. I was thinking that it would make sense to share the web root of the server using SMB and then mount the share on my desktop computer, so that I could edit the files directly. Is it a stupid idea to do this? Ie, Does that open up security vulnerabilities? Are there better alternatives? Thank you for your advise.
Actually it is not absurd to use ftp to get your files from your server. I am assuming that you have a router the connects both of your computers to the net. In that case, when you want to access your files, just type in your internal ip address of the server. This is probably in the form of 192.168.1.x. Use ifconfig on your server to find out your ip address. I believe that some routers are also intelligent enough to figure out when a request is being made from within the network, and they treat it as local. This means that even if you access your server though a domain name, such as yourdomain.com, and you're on your home network, the router will figure this out, and connect you with your server directly, bypassing your service provider. As for samba, you can configure it for authentication, and as long as you don't open up the samba port to the outside world, it can be relatively safe. cheers
Thanks Aqua, Right now only ports 80, 81, and 443 are open tot he outside. (I don't know if samba uses a port or not). The trick to getting it to work right seems to be making your samba user a member of the group that owns the web file(s). As long as the last digit isn't a seven, the files are safe? Ie. "chmod xx5"
The values are as follows: 4 = read 2 = write 1 = execute So 5 means "read + execute". 6 would mean "read + write", and 7 "read + write + execute".
I pretty much understand how permissions work on a single system basis, but I'm having difficulty understanding how they work across two machines. If i go to \\192.168.3.19 (the servers IP) and login as 'smusr' with my password, I can read and write without a problem, since 'smbusr' a user on the server is a member of the 'web1' group, and the files are set to 575. This is where it get's weird: If I mount the share \\192.168.3.19\web at /web on my local machine, using 'smbusr' and the password, it mounts, but does so as read only. Even though that user does have write access as far as the server is concerned. It seems like my desktop computer is trying to add permissions on top of a network resource that already has permissions.
the folder /var/www/web1 (in question) is owned by 'web1_joanne' in the group web1. 'smbusr' is a member of the 'web1' group. It works fine when I conect using samba ie.. 'smb:\\192.168.3.19\web' but when I mount the share to my local directory tree using fstab, i loose write permissions. My fstab entry is: Code: //192.168.3.19/www /web cifs user=smbusr%SMBPASS,uid=LOCALUSR,gid=LOCALUSRGRP 0 0 *please note that words in capitals are replacements for their actual value.
You could try to add rw to the fstab entry, e.g.: Code: //192.168.3.19/www /web cifs user=smbusr%SMBPASS,uid=LOCALUSR,gid=LOCALUSRGRP,rw 0 0
Still won't allow write access... When I mount it to /web and look at the permissions tab in properties, it says the owned is '10001' group '10001'. Is that user/group 10001 on the server or on my local machine? My local machine doesn't have a user or system process with that number.
I have two servers on one network and my desktop is on another with the servers on their own internet with two routers going through a switcher. The desktop has two NIC cards going to the switcher. I disabled the gateway on the card I use to access the servers with as the servers are a different IP address then my desktop. I then use winscp and putty to access them from the desktop. So far I've haven't had any problems accessing the servers from the desktop or through the web.
hmmm i'm just wondering: why on earth should you bother with a server that is meant to interact with windooz machines when you have two perfectly running linux machines which could just share their files with NFS?? just an idea
