For me, nothing is as satisfying as a quick pair of fingerless mitts. Pair them with a hat and I'm over the moon.
You can use pretty much any yarn you like. After all, what's the worst thing that can happen? The hat might lack sufficient elasticity to hug your head (or give you that dreaded hat hair). Or the mitts might stretch out or pill over time. But by then you'll be on to the next hat, the next set of mitts.
To pay tribute to my love of quick mitts, I chose to swatch Deborah Newton's charming hat and fingerless mitt set, Ballast. The original pattern calls for O-Wool Classic, a simple two-ply yarn made from organic Merino wool. Its two-ply construction lends a lovely weathered effect to the patterned purl motifs and the twisted pairs of knit stitches that wander diagonally to the fabric.
You'd be quite well served if you stayed with Newton's recommended yarn. But the nature of this column requires that we push the envelope and experiment, so I did.
First, I thought about the puff factor. I love a good halo in my hats and mitts (and scarves and sweaters and pretty much everything else), and nothing says "halo" like Classic Elite Yarns Fresco. Whereas some fluffy yarns lose points for durability, Fresco has a tight three-ply construction with a cohesive anchor of 60% wool dusted with 30% baby alpaca and 10% angora.
My swatch knit up like a dream. The yarn's three plies made the stitches much rounder and more three-dimensional than they appear in the original versions, with those purls popping from the fabric surface—while the halo covered it all with a cozy blanket of fluff. The high percentage of wool kept the fabric snug and bouncy, making it an ideal candidate for hat hair and cozy hands.
Next, I wanted to lighten the fabric just a tad without losing any of that halo or luxurious softness. I chose Zealana Air. It's composed of four single strands that have been plied together in the Z direction instead of the S that you often find in commercial yarns. It's a small difference, but as I was knitting I had that slightly off-kilter feeling, like if I'd swapped my left and right contact lenses.
Here, the halo is much subtler and finer, consisting of 40% cashmere, 40% possum down, and 20% silk. If I had the patience, I'd knit myself an entire sweater out of this yarn, and I'd never take it off.
The yarn was far too slippery on my Addi Turbos, so I switched to bamboo for better traction. Knitting was swift and generally pleasant, although I did snag a few plies repeatedly. I blame the Z ply.
The results were lightweight and true to the yarn's name, airy. Cashmere, possum, and silk are not known for their elasticity, and this fabric wasn't nearly as springy as the Fresco. But it wasn't completely inelastic either, and the alternating knits and purls added a little bounce to the mix. I'd pursue this angle if you wanted a capital-f "fancy" set for yourself or a special gift for someone else who understood it wasn't meant to be worn while shoveling snow or playing rugby.
Finally, it seemed only fair to switch from fine to rustic while still holding onto as much luxury as I could. As if on cue, the Fibre Company announced its new yarn Meadow. An attractive, well-defined two-ply yarn, Meadow blends 40% Merino for bounce and cohesion, 25% baby llama for that certain je ne sais quoi (or would that be no sé lo que?), 20% silk for sheen, and 15% linen for that rustic effect.
While most of these fibers are similar to what we saw in the other yarns, that 15% linen really does change the game. The linen took none of the dye, and its significantly longer fibers were far more eager to protrude. The combined dual-toned coloring and earthy texture toned down stitch clarity to the point where I had to look closely to see exactly what's happening. The motif isn't so complicated that you'd resent having your work muted, but muted it is nonetheless.
Bottom line? Well, there is none—and that's the fun part with small projects like this. Just pick a yarn that calls to you, cast on, and see what it does.

Carlos Rodon is expected to be taken in the top three picks of today's MLB Draft. In 2011, when he was taken in the 16th round, falling hundreds of picks lower than expected, this was our story from the Rodons' house in Holly Springs. Rodon said on that day that this would be motivation "to show them that I'm worth what I said or that I'm not that 16th-rounder. I think I should be in the first-round caliber group and this is going to push me to work harder." This republished article ran in the Southwest Wake News, which is owned by The News & Observer, on June 12, 2011.
Senior lefty Carlos Rodon was no doubt talented enough to warrant a high pick in this year's Major League Baseball Draft, and his teammates knew that all year long.
After the Holly Springs baseball team won the 4-A state championship, some of Rodon's own teammates came to him after the game with pens in hand. They wanted him to autograph their hats.
But Wednesday, Rodon spent several nerve-racking hours sitting on the edge of a living room chair listening with family members to his computer - the only place where that day's draft was broadcasted - hoping to hear his name.

Hours passed. Rounds passed. Teams passed. His emotions wavered.
Twice he walked out the front door to answer the call of a major league team representative where he could find privacy and better cellphone service. Neither brief conversation led to an immediate selection.
He became antsy, twisting in his chair and seemingly never comfortable. He checked his phone repeatedly. By the fifth round, he needed to get his phone charger.
Anxiety then gave way to boredom. After nearly four hours of waiting, he drove his girlfriend back to her house.
It seemed odd that one of the nation's top left-handed pitchers - on the college or high school level - with a 93 mph fastball and a refined command of his pitches, was getting passed over for so long. Rodon was not expected to fall past the fifth round, much less the 10th round, according to major league baseball pundits.
Instead, he was taken by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 16th round - almost five hours after the day's draft began.
And the pick had nothing to do with ability.
It was a harsh lesson in the business of sports. Rodon, 18, has experienced a good bit of it in the past year and his biggest decision about his future is still undecided.
Naming the price
The MLB Draft is unlike other major sports. So, too, are the contracts.
Any high school player can be drafted to the major leagues. However, if the high school player does not sign with the team by the Aug. 15 deadline, he must play three years of NCAA baseball before being eligible for the draft again.
The major league teams will often sign their draft picks to a bonus based on what round it takes players and then assign them to the minor leagues.
Minor league players make anywhere from $850 to $2,150 per month, so the signing bonus is vital for players weighing the decision about where to spend the next three years - college or the minor leagues.
The Rodon family values the college experience and education. Pro scouts know how much it would take for Carlos to forgo his next three years at N.C. State.
"It would have to be, I guess, life-changing for him to make that jump. And he's learned a lot from this process. Just going through all these interviews and people coming to our house, sitting in that chair and just interview after interview," his mother Julie Rodon said. "(The business aspect) is rough, and he's seen that."
Teams knew where the Rodon family stood. And it's why the No. 66 high school senior in the country, as rated by Baseball America, fell hundreds of picks. Players more easily swayed to sign - those with "signability," as it is known in MLB circles - were taken earlier.
"(Signability) is pretty important," Rodon said. "When you drop in the draft, you may be unsignable, but it's not your fault though."
The Brewers called Rodon near the beginning of the fourth round. They asked one final time if he would sign for the "slot money" - another major league draft construct.
Each round of the draft has a suggested signing bonus. In the compensation round - a half-sized round located between the first and second - the suggested bonus is about $750,000. That number drops to $200,000 in the fourth round, plummets to $80,000 in the eighth round and so on.
"You take the state taxes out of it, you take the income out of it and it's nothing after six years," said his father, Carlos Rodon Sr., about the late-round money.
To make it worth it for Rodon to skip college, his family suggested the offer would need to reach that $750,000 figure.
Rodon told Milwaukee he wouldn't sign.
He received another call from a team in the 6th round - but refused to name them. He again wasn't picked.
"If I end up going to play for the Brewers or going to play for N.C. State, it definitely motivates me," Rodon said. "I want to show them that I'm worth what I said or that I'm not that 16th-rounder. I think I should be in the first-round caliber group and this is going to push me to work harder."
The looming decision
Rodon knows that the Brewers could still offer a bigger bonus that would make it difficult to stick with college ball. After answering scouts' questionnaires, phone calls and in-home interviews that started last summer, there isn't much Rodon doesn't know about the draft process by now.
Although 16th-round selections, unlike earlier rounds, actually have a maximum signing bonus of $125,000, teams can pay more with league approval.
Rodon has no timeline for when he would like to make a decision, saying the pressure is on the Brewers "to come up with a number."
But while all these figures and business decisions are being made on each side, there's more to what will lead Rodon to his destination.
"Money is a factor, but being away from home, it could be something different," Rodon said. "And then not going to school - I'd like going to school and having that college experience and playing college baseball. That's something pretty special."
He said he realizes what would be expected of him if he gave up his amateur status to sign. "When you're in college you still have that youth. But when you go play pro ball, you become a man. You have to start fresh, go on your own, provide for yourself, cook for yourself, wash your clothes," Rodon said.
"And at N.C. State, I'd still have my youth. I'd be able to party, study and play ball with a great group of guys."
After all the early-day frustration and nervousness, Rodon said he was excited to have heard his named called - a lifelong dream coming true, even if it was later than wanted.
In eight days, Rodon won a state title, got drafted and graduated. It helped drowned out the negatives from the business side of baseball.
By the end of summer, he'll have to make the call on whether or not he wants to enter that business right out of high school.
And while his parents think college would be the best avenue for him at this point, they've also left the decision up to him.

A couple of yr in the past I wrote and printed a scorching tale known as "Massage This". It is within the "Interracial Love" segment. It had been a piece of pure fantasy about two co-workers who link subsequent some massages however it was primarily based on specific individuals, myself becoming the novice masseur. I have usually loved studying erotic tales and discover that creating them isn't only therapeutic but extremely stimulating. That I would mix this curiosity with therapeutic massage is an all-natural development just because I have usually been an enormous enthusiast of therapeutic massage.
I like obtaining massages as does nearly everybody, but I appreciate providing them much more. I believe they're an excellent rest method and may even be extremely helpful as a part of a damage rehab scenario. Therapeutic massage may also be somewhat an efficient type of sexual foreplay. It relaxes each the events concerned and stimulates blood circulation through the entire physique, particularly towards the genital region. Anytime I have utilised this method, to the point I attain the vaginal area I inevitably discover it currently fairly aroused and nicely lubricated.
That each one delivers me towards the tale, I've to inform you now. I understand there is no feeling in my stating that what follows is an accurate tale. If I had been studying it rather than creating it, I most likely would not purchase it both. Whether or not you think it or probably does not make a difference a lot, however, it is accurate. It's so comparable in lots of methods to my "Massage This" tale that it is even painful for me to think occasionally. But right here goes in any case.

Birth should be—and usually is—an incredibly joyous occasion. But for one New York City couple, the recent birth of their twins was terribly bittersweet, reports the NY Daily News.
Michal Lura Friedman, a 44-year-old singer-songwriter known as "Michal the Girl," and husband Jay Snyder had finally become pregnant after seven long years of trying, using everything from herbal teas to multiple rounds of IVF. Friedman, who described herself as a "five foot nothing cupie doll with attitude, who packs a powerful voice in her tiny frame strong enough to blow your hair backwards," had only the usual morning sickness during a fairly typical pregnancy. But, because one of the twins was breech, a C-section was scheduled for November 28th, when she was 38 weeks along. During her preop appointment at NYU Langone Medical Center on November 25th, her blood pressure was elevated, so doctors decided to admit her and do the C-section that day.
After her healthy babies, a 6-pound girl named Reverie Vivian and a 7-pound, 12-ounce boy named Jackson James were born, Friedman started to hemorrhage and despite doctors' best efforts, died four-and-a-half hours later.
"One of the many things that is despicable about this is that she didn't really even get a chance to hold her kids," Snyder told the Daily News. "They held up the babies to her, she saw them and smiled at me, but she was kind of out of it from the drugs. She wanted to be a mother more than anything else in the world."
He added, "She did such an amazing job of getting there, and she doesn't get the payoff to be the mom she was supposed to be. It feels like such a ripoff."
At Friedman's memorial service, her husband shared a moving eulogy, read by his uncle:
"That Michal has died, and particularly the way she died, feels incredibly cruel. Those closest to her, those who cared for her most, and supported her on her struggle toward motherhood, or simply admired her for it, have a long road ahead to letting the outrage and sorrow go. We must eventually accept that life makes no promises, as much as we might wish it would.
"But ultimately life is a blessing and it's up to us to decide what to do with it. In her life, Michal chose to bless us with two beautiful children. Michal herself was a blessing in my life, and will continue to be through our family. I had almost ten years with a woman that redefined what it was to love and to fight for what you love. And while we all may feel cheated, I am grateful I had the chance to be her boyfriend, her husband, the guy she was most happy to see, the one who knew best how to make her happy, and experience the joy of how happy that made me. Best of all, I got to be the father of her children, and I still get to love her for the rest of my life.
"For that gift, there are no words."
The twins came home on December 1st, and for now, Snyder and his mother-in-law are taking turns changing diapers and feeding the babies. If you want to help Reverie and Jackson Snyder, please visit thesnydertwins.com.

MARSTA, Sweden, April 8 (UPI) -- Police in Sweden said a pair of men who perpetrated a daylight robbery at an electronics store were recorded by witnesses.
Investigators said the men, wearing yellow tracksuits, masks and sunglasses, smashed the front door of the store in Marsta at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and witnesses alerted by the sound of security alarms took cellphone pictures and video of the men, The Local.se reported Monday.
Police said the crime did not go well. The two men had trouble cramming all of their loot, including four flat screen TVs, into their small getaway car.
Police said the plastic bag disguising the vehicle's license plate flew off as the men drove away, allowing witnesses to get pictures of the plates.
"They are known to police. The investigation is looking good," police spokesman Peter Eriksson said of the suspects.

|Name and quarry location:
|Egyptian alabaster, alabastro cotognino, from one of several quarries at Hatnub, Mallawi, and other locations in the Nile valley, Eastern desert, Egypt.
|Geological description:
|Fairly coarse-grained compact banded travertine, almost entirely composed of calcite; the slender orange ferruginous bands are often seen in the alabaster of the Nile valley.
|This specimen is cut parallel to the bedding so the banding is only seen on the sides of the slab. Egyptian alabaster was quarried as early as 4,000 BC, and was used by the ancient Egyptians for making small pots known as 'alabastri' as well as for the ornamentation of buildings. The quarries were rediscovered in 1891. The exact geological environment of formation is uncertain; the stone occurs as veins and pods in Eocene limestone, and had been regarded as essentially a speleothem formation but some now consider that thermal springs may have been a contributing factor. Small amounts of this stone are still quarried, mainly for making souvenirs for tourists.

Imam Shafi`i (d. 204)
The scholar of Madina, he was known for his intense piety and love of the Prophet, whom he held in such awe and respect that he would not mount his horse within the confines of Madina out of reverence for the ground that enclosed the Prophet's body, nor would he relate a hadith without first performing ablution. Ibn al-Jawzi relates in the chapter entitled "Layer 6 of the People of Madina" of his book Sifat al-safwa:
- Abu Mus`ab said: I went in to see Malik ibn Anas. He said to me: Look under my place of prayer or prayer-mat and see what is there. I looked and I found a certain writing. He said: Read it. (I saw that) it contained (the account of) a dream which one of his brothers had seen and which concerned him. He said (reciting what was written): "I saw the Prophet in my sleep. He was in his mosque and the people were gathered around him, and he said: I have hidden for you under my pulpit (minbar) something good — or: knowledge — and I have ordered Malik to distribute it to the people." Then Malik wept, so I got up and left him.1
Just as Abu Hanifa and Sufyan al-Thawri implicitly asserted the necessity to follow the Sufi path for acquiring perfection, Imam Malik explicitly enjoined tasawwuf as a duty of scholars in his statement:
- "He who practices Tasawwuf without learning Sacred Law corrupts his faith, while he who learns Sacred Law without practicing Tasawwuf corrupts himself. Only he who combines the two proves true."
It is related by the muhaddith Ahmad Zarruq (d. 899), the hafiz `Ali al-Qari al-Harawi (d. 1014), the muhaddiths `Ali ibn Ahmad al `Adawi (d. 1190) and Ibn `Ajiba (d. 1224), and others.2
Ibn `Ajiba explains:
Shaykh Ahmad Zarruq said: "Tasawwuf has over two thousand definitions, all of which go back to the sincerity of one's self-application to Allah… Each one's definition corresponds to his state and the extent of his experience, knowledge, and taste, upon which he will ground his saying: "Tasawwuf is such-and-such."
It follows that every one of the saints quoted (in Abu Nu`aym's Hilyat al-awliya') who has a part of sincere self-application (sidq tawajjuh) has a part in tasawwuf, and each one's tasawwuf consists in his sincere self-application. As a rule, sincere self-application is a requirement of religion since it forms both the manner and the content of the acts which Allah accepts. Manner and content are not sound unless sincerity of self-application is sound. "He approves not unthankfulness in His servants, but if you are thankful, he will approve it in you" (39:7).
Therefore Islam necessitates deeds, and there is no self-purification (tasawwuf) without knowledge of the Law (fiqh), as Allah's external rulings are not known except by knowledge of the Law; and there is no knowledge of the Law without self-purification, as there is no deed without sincerity in self-application, and there is neither without belief. Hence the Law requires all of them by definition, just as the body and the soul necessitate each other, as one cannot exist or be complete in the world except in conjunction with the other. That is the meaning of Imam Malik's saying: "He who practices Tasawwuf without learning Sacred Law…"3

As of 3:00 p.m. today, until further notice
The City of Mexico declares a Snow Emergency as of 3:00 p.m., Thursday, February 21, 2013 until further notice. In declaring a Snow Emergency a special "No Parking" ban goes into effect on streets signed as part of the Emergency Snow Route. Residents or businesses located along the Emergency Snow Route are prohibited to park their vehicles on the streets during a declared snow emergency. Vehicles left on these designated streets significantly interfere with snow removal operations and are subject to being towed at the owner's expense or plowed in. Snow Emergency Routes are the first streets to be plowed generally in a grid pattern.
The following streets located within the City are hereby designated as emergency snow routes:
Clark to Agriculture
Liberty Street from Muldrow to Morris
Boulevard from Muldrow to Elmwood Drive
Clark from Boulevard to Love Street
Lakeview from Morris to West city limits
Teal Lake from U.S. Highway 54 to Fairground
Fairground from Teal Lake to Lakeview
Morris from Boulevard to Highway 22 (Monroe)
Love Street from Agriculture to North Western
Jefferson from Liberty to North city limits
Kentucky from Highway 22 to North city limits
Summit from Jefferson to Agriculture
Omar from Boulevard to Lakeview
Hendricks from Kentucky to Jefferson
Breckenridge from Fairground to Green Boulevard
For a map of the Emergency Snow Route please refer to the City website: www.mexicomissouri.net
The Snow Emergency Route system was planned so very few residents have to go more than a few blocks to get to a plowed main street. It works the other way also, allowing public safety and other emergency vehicles to get within a few blocks of any home by way of plowed streets. These are truly "emergency" routes to keep essential services functioning after major snowfalls that would otherwise paralyze the City.
Residents are encouraged to remove vehicles from all streets whenever a large snow event is predicted to assist in the efficiency in plowing snow citywide.

EPA Reaches Agreement with Park Nicollett Health Services; Company Will Fund Lead Abatement in Low-Income Housing
Release Date: 07/23/2012
Contact Information: Phillippa Cannon, 312-353-6218, email@example.com
Chicago (July 23, 2012) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reached an agreement with Park Nicollet Health Services to resolve allegations of Clean Air Act violations at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. EPA alleged the company failed to keep required records and submit required reports on emissions from ethylene oxide sterilizers at the hospital. After being notified of the violations, the company took steps to meet all requirements.
Under a consent agreement and final order, Park Nicollet Health Services will pay an $18,750 fine and spend $56,250 on a project to protect families in St. Louis Park and Minneapolis from hazards associated with lead-based paint. The project will include removing lead-based paint and dust and replacing lead-based painted surfaces or fixtures in low-income housing occupied by children under age 6 or pregnant women.
"As a result of this agreement, the people of Minneapolis will breathe cleaner air and fewer young children will be exposed to dangerous lead at home," said EPA Regional Administrator Susan Hedman.
Lead exposure affects the nervous system and can cause a range of health effects, from behavioral problems and learning disabilities, to seizures and death. Children 6 years old and younger are most at risk.
More information about toxic air pollutants and about lead is available on EPA's Website: https://www.epa.gov/air/toxicair/newtoxics.html and https://www.epa.gov/lead/.

Hi Individual,The important thing, I think, is not whether one agrees with Nagarjuna, but in how one reaches their opinion. In the Brahmajala sutta, the positions, "x," "y instead of x", "both x and y", tend to be associated with meditation, but the fourth position, "neither x nor y," is associated with logic and reasoning, with regard to several particular wrong views. If a person comes to conclude this -- that the self neither exists nor doesn't exist, that the world is neither real nor unreal, etc., if this is concluded on an intellectual basis, nothing has been achieved.
I agree with this in a sense except your first sentence above. Nararjuna is not giving out anything to agree with. Therefore, it is important that you do not agree with him. Through seeing what he is getting at you see that he does not provide any kind of established assertion. At the same time he upholds the path and the goal as operative. He is imploring us not to get stuck on any kind of intellectual tail chasing.

The Hickory House has changed a lot in the past three years, since founder Tony Torchia retired and turned over the two restaurants to family members. Daughter and son-in-law Dawn and Chad Hunter, who took over the restaurant at 7051 E. Main St. in Reynoldsburg, and his nephew, Jimmy Torchia, who owns the Gahanna location at 550 Officenter Place, have set about freshening the concept as the Hickory House nears its 35th anniversary in January.
The Hickory House has changed a lot in the past three years, since founder Tony Torchia retired and turned over the two restaurants to family members.
Daughter and son-in-law Dawn and Chad Hunter, who took over the restaurant at 7051 E. Main St. in Reynoldsburg, and his nephew, Jimmy Torchia, who owns the Gahanna location at 550 Officenter Place, have set about freshening the concept as the Hickory House nears its 35th anniversary in January.
�The idea is to keep things fresh, even though the staple items that have made us who we are, like ribs and steaks, will never change,� said Mrs. Hunter.
New additions to the restaurant include seasonal menu items and an extensive seasonal cocktail menu. �Every three to four months, we�re rotating in new and seasonal items based on what is fresh at the time and on customer requests,� she said.
For example, Hickory House has added baked sweet potatoes with a honey cinnamon butter glaze as a side, as well as sweet corn nuggets � creamed corn fried in batter and served with ranch dressing � as an appetizer. Another change to the menu, which will include new salads and desserts, is coming in the next few weeks.
In the bar, �We�re doing seasonal drink specials with a Hickory House signature drink menu, happy-hour specials and small plates,� Mrs. Hunter said. The restaurants also have added a family-friendly Buckeye Saturdays promotion in the bar area on Ohio State game days.
The restaurants also have embraced the �local� products movement.
�We�re getting into local beers and (spirits), and trying to be more supportive of local businesses,� said Mr. Hunter. Next year, they will get more of their produce from local farms.
�Sometimes, things need a fresh look,� Mrs. Hunter said. �It�s healthy to step back and see where there is room for improvement, to see if you can do something different without losing sight of who you are.�
The restaurant has added a line of take-home bottled products such as Hickory House barbecue sauce, rib spices, and the house sweet-and-sour salad dressing.
The restaurants also are selling etched Hickory House wine glasses and gift baskets for holidays and special events, and plan to sell gift cards online.
�We have the advantage of taking over the business,� Jimmy Torchia said.
�We benefited from the quality of food, standard of service, and reputation (Tony) built, but our attitude is it�s hard enough to run these restaurants and keep them going because it�s a tough business, but we�d actually like it to keep growing.�
The Reynoldsburg location, which is significantly older than the Gahanna location that opened in 1999, has undergone extensive remodeling as well.
Outdoors, the mulch has been replaced with river rock and an evolving seasonal display of flowers.
Inside, the wallpaper was removed and the walls repainted, and new lights and a new custom-made maple bar was installed.
The bar and the dining room have all new tables and chairs, and the equipment in the kitchen has been upgraded. After the holidays, the space will get new carpet.
Even though the two Hickory Houses are technically separate restaurants with separate owners, the two work together regularly to promote the brand.
The owners plan to open a third restaurant, a more toned-down, faster-service version of the Hickory House in the near future. No firm plans have yet been set.
As for Tony Torchia, just because he�s retired doesn�t mean he isn�t keeping tabs on what the younger generation is doing with his restaurants.
At first, he was reluctant to embrace changes, but now he�s proud of how things have turned out, Mrs. Hunter said. �He says, �Man, the place really looks good.� I think it�s fun for him to watch and know we are at the helm, taking it to the next level while keeping the tradition alive.�
Now that he�s retired, �He and Mom are finally doing date nights on Friday night and doing things they didn�t get to do� when Torchia was working in the restaurant business.
�We love what we�re doing, and when we think about the future, we think the sky is the limit. There is a world of opportunity out there for us.�Off the menu

Exploding into Ring of Honor with The Age of The Fall as an agent of change, Tyler Black rose from the ashes of that group to become a respected champion and ultimately a reviled villain.
This 2-Disc DVD set chronicles the 2nd half of Tyler's ROH career as battles with Bryan Danielson, Roderick Strong, and Austin Aries honed him from merely a top prospect into a man worthy of carrying the most prestigious championship in all of professional wrestling.
It is also a chronicle of how success can change a man from a fierce representative of honor to one motivated by greed and self-preservation. Regardless of his motivations though, and in spite of his personal transformation, one thing that never changed was the pure talent of Tyler Black. Kevin Steen, Davey Richards, Chris Hero, Christopher Daniels; they all can testify to his abilities and this collection of matches will show the world how Tyler Black rose from the fall…

Well, I am not sure that is how it all went down but you got the idea. I would like to make a Genesis movie starring the original Three Stooges. Curly can keep answering God, saying "Exactly, Godgy-wodgy" and the three of them have a Pauline moment of insiration and decide to found a church, naming Moe as Pope. (Everyone knows Saul of Tarsus didn't convert to anything on the Road to Damascus; he simply realized that the religious con might make more shekels than doing felonious stuff.)
Yes, and Saul told 2 distinctly different stories of his conversion at different times, so which one was true? According to the early christians, most thought he was lying. Scribes usually wrote the epistles but sometimes Paul would write "in his own hand" simply to give authority to his teachings. He would add a line or footnote. You might say there was a lot of forgery even in those times and the faithful got accustomed to the appearance of writings whether they could read or not.
This doesn't say much for the shiester of Tarsus, but it says plenty for your Holly Bibble.
Joan Denoo, do you suppose that Christian children learn to think contra-logic, e.g. the fallacy of circular reasoning, told as they are that the proof of the Bible being the literal world of God is in the Bible itself. Might such children grow up using such illogicality in other spheres of human behavior?
Exactly! Children who become socialized to be dependent, passive and subordinate, do so as an adult. There is the assumption that only females learn this passive lifestyle, but males do too, they just have to figure out where, on the pecking order, do they fit. We all have seen dependent, passive and subordinate males and many of them become excellent bullies to someone smaller or lower on the social scale.
A child learns to obey his/her parent, because the parent told him/her to do so. Along comes adulthood, trained to depend on prayer to an unseen, unheard, unknowable god, and carries attitudes, beliefs, customs, traditions and values into his/her personal and professional life, and a man or woman can find someone to acquiesce to or to dominate. If they become leaders, it is because they have learned to obey, not think. Corporations and military are brimming over with supremacist leanings.
Blankfein Says He's Just Doing 'God's Work'
U.S. Air Force Academy -- It Doesn't Get Better
A parent who wants to raise a critical thinking adult has to provide the training for them to learn how to do so. A child needs room to make mistakes and to learn from them. Thinking critically is not a gift that suddenly envelopes one at adulthood. It is training, experimenting, exploring, discovering, asking, doubting, being skeptical.
Doesn't hurt the religion to call their prists "father" and each other, "brother." And so forth. Sounds sort of 8th century.
That there remain people living today who not only believe the story of Abraham and Isaac but take it as an example of how to behave is about as frightening a concept as I can imagine. It's only made worse by a supposed savior who insists that you must hate your mother, father, sister, brother, indeed your own life, if you mean to follow him.
Blind, unthinking, unknowing, uncaring stupidity, so obvious one couldn't help but trip over it, yet they can't see it.
Yes, these attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are all learned, not innate.

Push buttons reduce maintenance, downtime costs
The Allen-Bradley 800B 16 mm Push Buttons help reduce maintenance and associated downtime costs with LED pilot lights that can indicate if a motor is in operation and trigger-action emergency-stop (E-stop) devices that cease motion. The E-stop Push Button features a trigger-action anti-tease to help ensure the E-stop command will disengage equipment, helping to improve worker safety.
The new line reportedly provides reliability by meeting global standards, including UL, CSA, CE and CCC. The entire family is constructed of durable corrosion-resistant plastic materials that provide great dependability in sealing (IP65/66) and help to extend the over all product life. For improved visibility and comfort, the 800B devices offer bright, consistent illumination with an ergonomic concave shape.
Users with light industrial applications can now benefit from Allen-Bradley industry leading knowledge of the industrial Push Button market. Integrated Architecture users benefit from the low-voltage, gold-plated contact blocks and LEDs with leakage current shunt. Both help improve I/O signal quality and operation uptime. The new 800B product line takes many of the features of Allen-Bradley 22.5 mm and 30 mm Push Button families and puts them in a 16 mm size design.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - At its first match in over four months, the MIT men's tennis team defeated Bentley University, 6-1, on Thursday afternoon in the J.B. Carr Tennis Bubble. The Engineers, who played two matches and competed in the ITA New England Regionals before they wrapped up the fall portion of the season in October, are now 3-0 for the season, while the Falcons fell to 3-1.
MIT started things off well when juniors Edwin Zhang (Falls Church, Va.) and Curtis Wu (Yorba Linda, Calif.) defeated Rodrigo Ribeiro and Kamil Pilch, 8-5. That was followed up with a win by seniors Matthew Skalak (Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.) and Larry Pang (Torrance, Calif.) over Andrew Waddington and Jimmy Rindo with a score of 8-2. Freshmen Jeffrey Bu (Arcadia, Calif.) and Dennis A Garcia (Corpus Christi, Texas) wrapped up the doubles pairings with an 8-1 win over Raghav Tanna and Peter Koopman.
The Engineers began singles with a 3-0 lead over the Falcons. In the top spot, Zhang dropped both sets to Ribeiro, 7-5, 6-2. Pang had an easy win over Rindo in the second spot, 6-3, 6-1, and Wang played well to come up with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Pilch. To end the day, Skalek had a tough first set against Tanna, narrowly coming out on top with a score of 7-5, but easily won the second set, 6-1.
MIT will return to the tennis bubble on Tuesday, Feb. 26 when it faces Eastern Nazarene College at 4:00 p.m. This will be the second of eight consecutive matches that will take place at home, lasting through the entire month of March.

One Brunswick County couple is hoping an institutional shake-up is just the recipe they need.
Much has been written about the business world's resistance to change. Be it a Fortune 500 juggernaut or a tiny mom-and-pop operation, the consensus is that an irrational unwillingness to adapt isn't a formula for success.
One Brunswick County couple is hoping an institutional shake-up is just the recipe they need.
Fred and Suzanne Barnes took over a massive, 190-seat restaurant property at 4419 Long Beach Road in Southport last summer, opening The Blue Marlin in a space well-known as a home to outdated seafood buffets. They worked hard to update the dining room, but a ho-hum menu of fried standards failed to gain traction, eventually earning a less-than-glowing review from StarNews dining critic Tom Parks.
"When we first opened, we kind of bombed," Suzanne Barnes said.
But a drive past the property these days reveals a glowing marquee pointing toward the establishment and reading a contrite, "Come see us now, it's different."
You almost want to add a "We swear," at the end.
The same sign welcomes new chef Joe Bartolotta, who took over the kitchen in late February after years of swinging a hefty cleaver as a butcher. Hacking a new path to the taste buds of eager eaters, Chef Joe, as he's known, has upended the stale selections old-school fish houses are known for and replaced them with zesty plates fresh from the hot saut� line.
While battered and fried options can still be found on the menu, Bartolotta, who most recently served as chef at the nearby Bella Cucina, has given the joint a heavy Italian accent. Veal Milanese, grouper piccata and the comically dubbed Chicken Badabing – a breast stuffed with sausage, mushrooms and spinach – are among the menu's newcomers that will be rolling out over the coming weeks.
A professional meat cutter with over 30 years of culinary experience, Bartolotta is fashioning an unusual contrast for a seafood spot, bringing in what is likely to be one of Brunswick County's largest selection of dishes made with fresh veal. When he isn't making the rounds checking in on diners, expect to find Bartolotta in the back breaking down sizable cuts for that evening's service.
The new dishes don't look exclusively to Italy. Bartolotta is just as proud of his barbecued baby back ribs and a rich seafood chowder laced with cream and butter.
"We're going to be knocking it out of the park this summer," the confident, likable Bartolotta declared.
The dining room, which the Barneses have continued to transform, is now a wide-open cavern of a space that manages to feel cozy thanks to snug table placement. Nautical trappings remain, but not to an offensive degree.
Aside from the menu, one of the biggest changes customers are likely to notice is a new bar that's being installed. Suzanne Barnes said the restaurant will be acquiring a full liquor license, and she looks forward to introducing custom cocktails once the construction is complete.
Since the changes have been made, Barnes and Bartolotta both said the business has shown signs of turnaround, a trend they hope continues as tourist season advances. Word of mouth has gotten around, Barnes said, and the establishment recently hosted the Cape Fear Cruisers, a vintage car club, to raving accolades.
"God put Chef Joe in our lives for a reason," Barnes said.
The Blue Marlin is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Sunday. Call 910-363-4712 or visit their Facebook page for more information.
We don't normally do this kind of thing, but apparently the February 3 Bites & Sips column led to some confusion. Some folks misread a sentence, erroneously leading them to believe Taste of Italy on S. College Road is closing. To state for the record, that business is alive and well with no plans of shutting the doors.

In 2007, I converted a GMC Sonoma from its original gasoline propulsion to pure electric, using flooded lead-acid (FLA) batteries (see "Born to be Wired" in HP122). The type of FLA batteries most commonly used for EV conversions, golf cart batteries, have three 2 V cells and a capacity ranging from about 200 to 260 amp-hours (Ah). Moving the truck's 3,200 pounds required a higher voltage than the 96 or 120 volts commonly used for lighter-weight vehicles, so I used 24 batteries for 144 V and an energy capacity (at 100% discharge) of about 37 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
However, the battery weight (approximately 1,800 pounds) brought the vehicle very close to its maximum gross weight of 5,000 pounds. I expected my batteries to have a five-year life, but in the third year, they started to show signs of failure.
The short life boiled down to maintenance. I knew that the best practice for FLA batteries is to re-water them monthly if they are being cycled frequently (as they usually are in an EV). The charging process causes evaporation through electrolysis. I was usually good at watering the batteries, but on a few occasions, I postponed it, only to find that enough of the electrolyte had evaporated to expose the top of the lead plates to air. Exposed lead oxidizes, making it harder for the plates to interact with electrolyte and, thus, reduces their capacity.
This undoubtedly contributed to a shorter life, but the nail in their coffin occurred when I was unexpectedly called away for several weeks during the summer. In my original design, a daily timer was set on the battery charger to ensure the batteries were fully charged before I left on my morning commute. Without daily driving, the charger was excessively charging the batteries. This boiled off a significant portion of the electrolyte and overheated the batteries, causing them to swell.
I didn't realize this until I tried to drive my vehicle and heard a "bang" in the battery box, and the vehicle lost power. Several of the batteries in the middle of the pack (those that got the hottest) had swollen—one had swollen enough to cause an internal short circuit, which ignited the gasses at the top of the battery. I replaced the worst of the batteries, hoping that the remaining ones still had some life. But after testing, I found that all of the remaining batteries had a significant reduction in capacity—the only solution was to replace them all.
Because I wanted my next battery pack to give me better service, I started investigating lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which had dropped in price significantly—from $75,000 for a 31 kWh pack in 2006 to $12,000 in 2010 (since then, prices have remained fairly constant). A comparable FLA bank was more affordable (about $5,000), but I was convinced that Li-ion batteries would improve vehicle performance (power, acceleration, range, and energy economy) and render a long-term payoff.
Switching to LFPs shaved almost 1,000 pounds from the vehicle, more than doubled the vehicle's range, gained back the vehicle's original acceleration, and nearly halved its energy use per mile. To see why I experienced such a dramatic improvement, we need to compare the batteries themselves.
The FLA reference battery is a standard 225 Ah, 6-volt golf cart battery (e.g., Trojan T105). The LFP reference batteries are high-capacity (180 to 200 Ah), 3.2 volt prismatic batteries. There are a variety of manufacturers and distributors for this type of battery, the most popular and available being the CALB SE180AHA, the Sinopoly LPF200AHA, and the FluxPower BATVXLFP200AH. In comparing, keep in mind that a golf-cart battery has three cells for about 6 V, whereas the LFP prismatics come as single cells (packs of 4 cells for 12 V are also available). The comparison table values based on watt-hours (Wh) provide an apples-to-apples comparison because they relate to stored energy. Except where noted, the table characteristics come from manufacturers' specification sheets. The LFP column is the average of the specifications for the three popular LFP models, whose values differ by 10% or less.

The Austrian theorist Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935) is one of the most important thinkers in the history of Western music, and one of its most original minds: his achievements have been compared to those of Freud in psychology and Einstein in physics. His influence, modest (though not negligible) in his own lifetime, has grown steadily since the middle of the twentieth century; he had become a paradigmatic figure in the USA by the 1960s, and soon afterwards in Great Britain and elsewhere in Europe. Interest in his life's work is, in many respects, equal to that shown in the leading modernist composers of his time, and shows no signs of abating.
Schenker maintained a vigorous correspondence across nearly half a century, 1888-1935. His list of correspondents numbers around 400. We know already of over 7,000 documents, to and from him, in the four major collections and other locations; but the seeking-out of currently unknown caches of letters forms an integral part of the work of Schenker Documents Online.
His correspondence is a microcosm of Viennese and Austrian life in his time. It has an unusually wide remit, alluding to current events, the political landscape, war, the international scene, what the newspapers were saying, music education in Austria, the Viennese artistic season, personalities among Vienna's musical circles, reports of concerts, operas, first performances, and reviews. He kept up with the latest happenings, read books just published, kept his eye on the music publishers' lists of new works, and commented on them to his friends. He was extraordinarily widely read, highly informed, in touch with contemporary affairs.
He viewed all of these things, however, with a deeply conservative mind unsympathetic to democracy, social equality, and the world of contemporary art which he saw as reflecting these latter ideals. In his published writings he singled out Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Hindemith and Reger for particular criticism. In his correspondence he expressed hostility also to such 'moderns' as Richard Strauss, Ernst Krenek, and Franz Schreker, dubbing theirs an 'anti-musical music'. Such opposition was often shared by those to whom he wrote, with the result that the two sides of his correspondence together offer a fascinating view of early twentieth-century culture that complements and contrasts with the progress-orientated view much more familiar today. For the Schenker oeuvre, the correspondence opens up the development of his theoretical and analytical ideas, tracing in detail his plans for publication and showing how those plans came to fruition, were aborted or transformed. It also casts light on the forging of his analytical terminology and graphic symbols. Some of the analyses for which he later became famous took shape in the course of exchanges of letters. Another facet concerns the building up of a network of support for his theories among people based in many parts of the (Western) world, such as Edinburgh, New York, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich, and Stuttgart. His letters also show how intimately related was his work as editor (undervalued today) to that as theorist and analyst, and show his interest in manuscript studies and his constant search for autograph sources.

MDCC Trojans Win Season Opener
The Mississippi Delta Community College Trojans opened the 2014 football season with a 21-12 win over the East Central Warriors Thursday night in Moorhead.
The Trojans put the first points on the board with just over a minute on the clock when sophomore running back Roshard Burney plunged in from three yards out. The score was set up when freshman defensive back Denarius Howard picked off quarterback Andrew Dunn and returned the ball 24 yards to the East Central six yard line. It took two plays to score and Zacarion Goodman's PAT put MDCC up 7-0.
The Warriors answered midway through the second quarter by driving 59 yards in seven plays. The drive culminated in a 33 yard field goal by Brennan O'Keefe. That ended the scoring for the first half leaving Delta up 7-3.
The Warriors recovered a Trojans' fumble midway through the third quarter but were only able to move the ball 28 yards in eight plays and were forced to settle for another O'Keefe field goal, this one from 35 yards out to close the gap to 7-6.
Mississippi Delta extended its lead early in the fourth quarter by mounting a 64 yard, 11 play drive that ended with another three yard TD run by workhorse Roshard Burney who rushed 20 times for 109 yards. The PAT kick by Goodman put Delta ahead 14-6 with 12:03 left in the fourth quarter.
The Trojans iced the win six minutes later when kick returner Se'Quan Steele hauled in a punt at his own 15, scooted between two would-be tacklers, and raced 85 yards untouched for the Trojans' final points on the game.
East Central proved they could move the ball when they took the ensuing kickoff and marched 95 yards in 11 plays with the touchdown coming on a 54 yard toss and catch from quarterback Ethan Hamilton to wide receiver Xavier Willis. A two-point PAT run failed and the Trojans ran the final minute and 37 seconds off the clock for the win.
Unofficial statistics show the Warriors out-performed the Trojans between the end zones. East Central rushed 23 times for only 63 yards but completed 15 of 32 passes for 227 yards (with three interceptions) for a 290 yard total. The Trojans rushed 38 times for 145 yards but only managed to complete 7 of 17 passes for 59 yards (with two interceptions) for a 204 yard total.
Individually, Roshard Burney rushed 20 times for 109 yards while freshman quarterback Devin Adams hit 7-17 for 59 yards. Running back Quadre Butler caught two passes for 26 yards while wide receiver Derrick Jenkins hauled in three passes for 23 yards. Defensively, Denarius Howard had an outstanding night picking off two interceptions while Terence Phinisee grabbed a tipped pass for a third INT.
In other stats, the Trojans earned 11 first downs and were flagged six times for 55 yards while the Warriors collected 12 first downs (only four in the first half) and were penalized 10 times for 86 yards.
The Trojans will be on the road next Thursday when they travel to Summit to take on the Southwest Community College Bears at 7:00 p.m.
MDCC Trojans Host East Central CC Warriors In Season Opener
The Mississippi Delta Community College Trojans will open their 2014 football season Thursday night at 7:00 in the friendly confines of Jim Randall Stadium on the campus in Moorhead when they take on the Warriors of East Central Community College.
Both teams will be looking to better their records from the 2013 season when the Lions went 1-8 and the Trojans went 2-7.
Mississippi Delta Head Coach Jeff Tatum, in his second year at the helm, said, "We feel like we've come a long way since last season. We now have our players who have bought into our program and we've had a number of these players here since last year and all through the spring. We also have a coaching staff in place that has had a year to get things organized."
"Last year we were trying to organized and get a coaching staff together. We now have our kids and they are working hard and are now doing the things we want them to do and buying into our philosophy, Tatum said.
This year the Trojans have three strong contenders at the quarterback position. They are sophomore Jaylon Daniels (5-11, 180) of Greenwood, and freshmen Devontae McPherson 6-0, 175 of Greenville and Devin Adams 6-4, 245 of Mobile, AL.
Daniels played in a two-quarterback set up last year and completed 61 of 136 (45%) of his passes with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also rushed 42 times for 224 yards (5.3 avg.).
Devonte McPherson comes to Delta from Greenville St. Joe where he completed 148 of 269 passes (.55%) last year for 2,487 yards and 28 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. Devin Adams played at Prichard High School where he threw for 2,380 yards and 20 TD's and rushed for 268 yards and two TD's as a junior.
"Both freshmen are talented and good athletes and either one will be able to take over if Jaylon doesn't work out," Tatum said.
Returning running backs for the Trojans will be Roshard Burney (5-11, 219) out of West Palm Beack, FL. And Donald Jackson (5-8, 165) out of Greenville. Burney rushed 42 time for 170 yards (4.0) last season while Jackson rushed 14 times for 55 yards in four games.
Wide receiver Kameron Carter (6-0, 170) of Greenwood is the only returning receiver who saw action last season. In eight games he caught 10 passes for 95 yards (15.8 avg.).
The offensive line returns three starters in Josh Cooper (6-1, 315) of Yazoo City, MacJavoris Tims (6-0, 290) of Greenwood and Edrick Thig¬pen (6-3, 325) of Drew.
The defense will be the Trojans' bright spot this season with a lot of returning experience. The defensive line includes sophomore Demerrius Williams (6-3, 60) of Shaw and Tony Williams (6-0, 260) of Jackson. Also returning are linebackers Dwight Griggs (6-1, 205) and Alex Johnson (6-1, 235), both of Greenwood). Cedric Poole (5-10, 192) of Birmingham also returns in the defensive backfield.
The Trojans are picked to finish fifth in the North Division behind 2013 National Champs East Mississippi, Itawamba CC, Northeast CC, and Holmes CC. The Warriors are picked to finish last in the South Division.
