Which comes first, fasting or feasting? The disciples of John the Baptist were upset with Jesus' disciples because they did not fast. Fasting was one of the three most important religious duties, along with prayer and almsgiving. Jesus gave a simple explanation. There's a time for fasting and a time for feasting (or celebrating).
(Matthew 21:21-33)
Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people:
"Hear another parable.
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard,
put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower.
Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey.
When vintage time drew near,
he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce.
But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat,
another they killed, and a third they stoned.
Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones,
but they treated them in the same way.
Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking,
'They will respect my son.'
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another,
'This is the heir.
Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.'
They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?"
They answered him,
"He will put those wretched men to a wretched death
and lease his vineyard to other tenants
who will give him the produce at the proper times."
Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures:
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Therefore, I say to you,
the kingdom of God will be taken away from you
There also comes a time when the Lord's disciples must bear the cross of affliction and purification. For the disciple there is both a time for rejoicing in the Lord's presence and celebrating his goodness and a time for seeking the Lord with humility and fasting and for mourning over sin. Do you take joy in the Lord's presence with you and do you express sorrow and contrition for your sins?
Jesus goes on to warn his disciples about the problem of the "closed mind" that refuses to learn new things. Jesus used an image familiar to his audience – new and old wineskins. In Jesus' times, wine was stored in wineskins, not bottles. New wine poured into skins was still fermenting. The gases exerted gave pressure. New wine skins were elastic enough to take the pressure, but old wine skins easily burst because they were hard. What did Jesus mean by this comparison?

When asked to choose the place to stay on the Oregon coast, most Oregonians would recommend the
Salishan Spa and Golf Resort (7760 N. U.S. 101, Gleneden Beach, 541/764-3600 or 800/452-2300, www.salishan.com, $190 and up). Named for a widespread native dialect in the Oregon Territory, this resort, a couple of miles south of Lincoln City, was updated in 2008.
While there are distant Siletz Bay views, Salishan isn't a beachfront resort, and most folks quickly learn to appreciate the peace of the forest and the golf course. This paradigm shift is facilitated by art and landscape architecture that convey the vision of John Gray, who built Salishan and such other Northwest properties as Skamania Lodge (on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge) and Sunriver (south of Bend) from native materials with respect for the surrounding environment.
Even if you don't stay here, the grounds and facilities are worth a look. The art gallery is free and features works by top Oregon artists; also check out master woodcarver Leroy Setziol's bas-relief panels in the dining room. In addition to the recreational and aesthetic appeal of the resort, the dining room contributes to Salishan's lofty reputation.
The forested trails behind the golf course showcase the rain-forested foothills of the Coast Range and the waterfowl near Siletz Bay. Across the street, the Salishan Marketplace features first-rate galleries and a good bookstore, Allegory Books.
In high season, Salishan attracts well-heeled nature lovers, corporate expense-account clientele, folks enjoying a special occasion, and serious golfers. You'll also find everyday folks and seminar attendees on winter weekend specials at half the summertime rates. Ask about multiday packages for big savings on your room rate.
If you've been fantasizing about rolling out of bed, slipping on your robe—coffee in hand—and walking out onto a semiprivate stretch of beach, then the Inn at Spanish Head (4009 SW U.S. 101, 541/996-2161 or 800/452-8127, www.spanishhead.com, $205 and up) may be your best bet. Oregon's only resort hotel right on the beach, the inn takes its place—large and looming—against the backdrop of rugged cliffs. Whether in a suite, studio, or bedroom unit, every room has an ocean view.
On-site amenities include Fathoms, the 10th-floor restaurant-bar, a fireplace lounge, meeting rooms, a heated outdoor pool, saunas, a spa, and an exercise room.

A whistleblower claimed last night that she was hired by an NHS hospital to fiddle its shocking death rates.
As hundreds of patients died needlessly, Sandra Haynes Kirkbright says she was headhunted by hospital bosses and asked to 'fix' the figures.
She claims 'every rule in the book' was broken to try to improve mortality rates – without saving lives.
The data recorder says she was suspended after refusing to take part in a cover-up, and even claims she was ordered not to put her concerns in writing in case they reached the Press.
The astonishing allegations – which are denied by the hospital – have emerged days after the chief executive of another NHS Trust, in Bolton, was forced aside over a possible cover-up of high death rates.
Experts have warned similar incidents could be happening in hospitals across the country.
The fresh allegations are yet another blow for NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson, who refuses to resign despite widespread condemnation from MPs, doctors and patients since last month's damning Mid Staffordshire report.
Mrs Haynes Kirkbright was hired by the Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust as a 'health coder', an administrative role which involves recording data detailing patients' care in hospitals.
Coders do not need medical qualifications, leading critics to argue that they have disproportionate power to affect how hospitals are seen to be performing.
Mrs Haynes Kirkbright, from Texas, said she was approached following concerns over the shocking number of weekend deaths, which had contributed to the Trust scoring one of the highest mortality rates in the country.

It was just several years ago that Syria was helping refugees from the fighting in Iraq. Now it is Syrians taking refuge in Iraq and other countries as the war between rebels and President Assad's forces continues.
Victoria Nuland, spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, said this week, "For nearly two years, the Assad regime has brutalized its own people...Assad has lost all legitimacy and must step aside to enable a political solution and a democratic transition that meets the aspirations of the Syrian people."
Syrians are fleeing daily to Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan. Not only do they have to fight hunger but also cold weather.
Um Raed, a mother who recently arrived at Zaatari camp in Jordan, said, "It's cold, unbelievably cold. My son has only a short sleeved shirt – the clothes he had on when we escaped our country."
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees is trying to provide shelter, blankets, and clothing for the refugees. This has not been an easy task with hundreds of thousands of Syrians in need and funding low.
This month storms hit the Zaatari camp, flooding and blowing over tents. Syrians who had just gone through the trauma of being displaced from their homeland were dealt another blow. Conditions will continue to be tough for the coming winter months.
Laure Chadraoui, a spokesperson for the UN World Food Programme in Jordan (WFP), said, "The temperature drops here as low as minus two or minus three [Celsius] sometimes, especially at night." WFP gives food aid to the refugees.

NSF Grant to Advance Chemistry
Dr. Robert E. Belford, associate professor of chemistry at UALR, has received a $200,000 National Science Foundation grant to develop an intercollegiate course in cheminformatics – the modeling of chemical and related biological information on computers.
Belford, chair of the American Chemical Society's Division of Chemical Education Committee on Computers in Chemical Education, will work in collaboration with Dr. David J. Wild, director of the Indiana University Cheminformatics Program, to pioneer the use of the Semantic Web and Distance Education.
The goal will be to bring high-impact education on practical informatics and cheminformatics techniques to chemistry undergraduates in a wide range of universities and smaller colleges. Their team will include a variety of experts in cheminformatics, chemical education, and information sciences. The intercollegiate course will be hosted by ACS CCCE.
UALR is the lead institution for the collaborative project.
"Advances in cheminformatics over the past couple decades have been so rapid that the traditional undergraduate curriculum has not kept up," Belford said. "It will be a significant competitive asset for our students to be cognizant of these new technologies when they graduate."
The goal of the grant is two-fold – to bring faculty up to par with recent advances and to provide students with these skills.
"For students to graduate with the skills they need to excel as chemists they not only need to know the foundations and lab skills central to the science, but they also need to know how to communicate the results of their work, how to acquire and review the results of others' work, and increasingly how to use computational and informatics techniques as part of their scientific discovery process," Belford said.
According to Belford, this is more than just moving scientific communications beyond the traditional Gutenberg-era printed document.
"Sure social and semantic technologies are impacting the scientific discovery process by changing how scientists share and communicate information, but there is another aspect of cheminformatics which could be changing the very nature of how we solve problems," he said. "That is, cheminformatic advances are changing the nature of the cognitive artifacts we use to represent and manipulate information, which in turn has the potential to enable the development of new schema for problem solving that could have a profound impact on the practice of science."
Belford joined the UALR faculty in 2002 from the University of West Virginia where he was a visiting assistant professor of chemistry. He earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from Arizona State University.

Dr. James Naismith is the father of basketball and necessity is the mother of its invention. The sport was borne out of necessity. A need to have a sport which could be played indoors in cold freezing New England weather in Springfield. Unlike most sports, basketball has only been around for a little more than a century. Charles Darwin would have loved basketball. Survival of the fittest. The game survives and thrives because its open to change. Basketball rules were developed on the fly and were always more malleable to change as opposed to most other sports, where the rules are enshrined and engraved in stone.
T20 is a more exciting form of cricket. Futsal is a faster form of football. But neither can replace the original form of the game. Because those sports are still practiced in their original forms. Basketball today is not what it was a decade ago. New formats have cropped up and are gaining popularity, but the original format is very different from what it was earlier back in the 50s. Back when there wasn't a shot clock or limit on fouls. Teams would sometimes foul and foul and have over 80 free throws a game, leading to a snooze fest among the crowd. The game's popularity was salvaged in 1954 by Danny Biasone, owner of the Syracuse Nationals who introduced both in the NBA. Later, college basketball caught on to the shot clock in 1985, with a 45-second clock which it reduced to 35 in 1993.
Bruce Lee would have loved basketball too "Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own."
Ok, he didn't love basketball players too much. But the idea resonates strong in basketball. Keep changing and adapting.
Basketball rejected the useless premise of having too many players on the court. In 1900, the limit of ten players on the floor was introduced after there were skirmishes involving over 50 players on the court. Most of us are familiar with the recent rule changes, such as allowing dunking again and the expansion of the three point line. Changes have been happening for a long time. Check out some early rule changes in the game:
1896 – Wooden backboards added
1900 – Number of players limited to 10. There were reports of over 50 players playing at once, leading to this rule.
1908 – The rule of a player being ejected from a game after five fouls was introduced (five fouls is still the standard in college basketball, while the pro game now uses six).
1915 – First saw dribblers being allowed to shoot the basketball.
1938 – elimination of rule of having a jumpball after every basket.
Rule changes have been around long before the NBA in basketball. The game's widespread popularity can be attributed to its willingness to change itself. A good understanding of that willingness can be seen this Sunday in Mumbai where two variations of basketball competitions will be happening simultaneously. In a country like India where the sport isn't as popular as it should be, its variations are taking hold faster than the original form.
Check out the pictures from the Mahindra NBA Challenge Finals and the NBA 3X. The traditional form played host to sparse crowds and the 3X to packed ones. Although location and extra events in the 3X had a lot to do with that, the fact that variations of the game are happening as often if not more than the original form, suggests that the sport is taking hold in whatever format is most adaptable.
Inorbit Mall, Malad, will be buzzing with the National Finals of the NBA3X on Saturday and Sunday. This 3 on 3 format has struck a chord with the audience as there can be many matches in a short period of time and over the three courts which they have for the competitions over two days. Over 400 teams will have duked it out in this contest which has spanned Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai and will now conclude in Mumbai. Winners from the first three cities are being flown in for the National finals here. 3 on 3 is played in the half court with 6 players. By FIBA rules, the first to 21 wins. It's played over 10 minutes.
We are familiar enough with the rules of 3×3 basketball. Check out the other alternative variation of the game being introduced on Sunday, Funatic Double Double. This one is happening on Sunday only, at the annual Dawn 2 Dusk Basketball Tournament being held at Don Bosco High School, Matunga on October 21, 2012.
Commenting on this novel idea, Father Crispino D'souza, Dominic Savio High School has said, "We are very happy to be associated with Funatic Sports Pvt. Ltd. who have endeavoured to take a bold step in designing a unique "Double-Double (20-20) Basketball" format, which is expected to make the sport of basketball not only more participative for the players, but will also be more entertaining for the onlookers".
Unlike most variations, this one is played with five players each side. But there can also be a situation of 4 on 5 here. Check out the basic rules: 1st to 20 points wins, or team leading at the end of 12 minutes. In case of a tie, there's a free throw shootout. And one of my favourite parts is ejecting players on their 3rd foul. And if the team has used up its 3 substitutions they have to continue with 4 players on the court. And if a team has less than 3 players to field then it forfeits the game. The other fun part is of course having a 12-second shot clock in a full court game. The baller/runner in me is jumping with glee on this one. End to end action, eliminate slow sets, flow on creativity. Basketball played with a single minded purpose to score and ignore the shackles which the comfort of 24 seconds gives you.
In 3 on 3 basketball, there are 4 fouls allowed. In Double Double, only 3. Danny Biasone would be proud. Restricting fouls makes for a much faster game. And having the incentive of scoring a limit first to win gives the teams another reason to run and gun. Both variations of the game advocate the use of speed and skills over size and strength and are more fun to watch. T20 Cricket has actually taken cues from the NBA in its format. A sport which has been around since the 16th century is taking cues from one which has come into being very recently.
Someday it could adapt to be played in the above pic too. Get some paddles and swim on with a Seal to dribble the ball on its nose. (Ok this may not happen too soon.)
Nike has a 'basketball never stops' slogan. Maybe it ought to be tweaked to basketball never stops changing. "Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it."- Bruce Lee again. The game is too slow? Add a first to win rule! Too many fouls? Have players foul out quicker! Still too slow? Add a 12-second shot clock in a full court contest. The game is adaptable to change. That's why it still rocks.

The past 24 hours have seen some remarkable developments.
First Senator Lugar, a "moderate" Republican, lost to a Tea Party hard liner by something like 20 points.
Second, North Carolina passed a state constitutional amendment outlawing both gay marriage and civil unions by 61 to 39%.
Third, the Colorado legislature adjourned without passing a civil union bill after a raucous session involving extreme filibustering by the Republicans.
Fourth, President Obama finally came out and endorsed gay marriage.
Wasn't this election supposed to be all about the economy? Weren't social issues supposed to be off the table? Has the November election been transformed into a plebiscite on gay marriage? What's happening?
Here are some thoughts:
Civil Unions are off the Table
The fact that both Colorado and North Carolina rejected civil unions means that civil unions as a possible compromise everyone could live with are off the table. Now it's gay marriage or nothing. Civil unions were always just a stepping stone anyway. In fact the courts which have mandated gay marriage have cited the existence of civil union laws as proof that withholding the honorable name "marriage" had no basis other than impermissible animus. Some compromise. Additionally, the recent dust up over the HHS mandate that Church related entities would have to pay for abortion pills has made people realize that the real goal of the abortion and gay rights movements is to silence the Church and force her into the smallest space possible. In fact he whole gay rights/gay marriage agenda can be interpreted as just a ploy to attack the Church.
The Republican Base is Energized
The results in Indiana, Colorado, and North Carolina, are all manifestations of an energized Republican base. Meanwhile, the Democratic base is in the doldrums. Even the President's support of gay marriage is being criticized for coming the day after the North Carolina vote.
The Black Church is in a Tough Spot
Even with black unemployment going up much worse than for the country as a whole, support for Obama has been unwavering. But blacks are more anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage than whites by a good measure. They already have to deal with the tension between their Christian faith and Democratic positions on these social issues. They usually point to Democratic social spending as Christ-like concern for the poor and oppressed as justification. But gay marriage is different. Signing off on gay marriage may be too much for many members of the black clergy. They especially chafe at this being sold as "just like civil rights for blacks." Obama's nominal opposition to gay marriage had given them a fig leaf, but now that's gone. Some may even be realizing that their loyalty has been taken for granted by the Democratic Party which is only interested in catering to rich white homosexuals. Blacks will not vote Republican, but they may just sit this one out.
Obama's Shrinking Base
Obama apparently decided to write off the independent voters and appeal to the Democratic base a while ago with his class warfare strategy. Now he has been forced to choose between blacks and gays. He seems to have calculated that gay money is variable but that the black vote is solid. Time will tell. But it sure looks like Obama is playing harder and harder to a smaller and smaller base. Meanwhile it does not look like the economy is going to help him at all.
Barak Obama ran as a center-left uniter but has governed as a left-left divider. In our system that is a formula for a backlash. It's beginning to look like Rush Limbaugh's prediction of a Republican landslide in November may come to pass.

2008 H&L Nicolaus Kreuznacher Kronenberg Semi-dry Riesling, Nahe
Further proof of German Riesling's infinite versatility, this semi-dry wine combines the beloved natural sweetness of the noble grape with a saline minerality and peppy acidity. A bouquet of freshly cut hay, slate, and orange zest open up to a zippy palate of lemon pulp and green apple Jolly Rancher. That subtle Riesling sweetness shows up in the finish but because this is fermented semi-dry, the finish stays clean and never gets cloying or heavy. A delightful drink, especially for those hot summer months.

London Irish stalwart Declan Danaher has been named Club Captain for the 2012/13 Aviva Premiership Rugby Season.
Declan, who is currently in his thirteenth pre-season, is the Club's longest serving player having made 242 appearances during his time, scoring 21 tries.
During his 13 years with the Exiles Declan has become a real favourite amongst the London Irish supporters for his great passion and dedication for the only team he has ever played for.
In 2002 Declan was part of the London Irish team that dispatched of Northampton Saints in the Powergen Cup Final and it is experiences like this one he wants to share again with the current crop of players.
Declan said: "It is a huge honour for me to be named Club Captain for next season. I am following in the footsteps of Club greats in the likes of Clarke Dermody, Seilala Mapusua, Bob Casey, Mike Catt and Ryan Strudwick who were all exceptional leaders.
"When Brian Smith offered me this opportunity I was delighted to accept. Having worked with Brian I know his drive and the success he is after. A few years ago he managed to get a hell of a squad together which then went onto a Premiership Final so I am well aware of what he is capable of.
"London Irish means the world to me and I will endeavour to make sure that I don't let the boys or the London Irish family down. We have an exciting new squad; we are training hard and looking forward to facing Saracens in the London Double Header on September 1st at Twickenham."
Declan will work with a senior leadership group. These leaders are Alex Corbisiero, David Paice, Bryn Evans, Tom�s O'Leary, Ian Humphreys and Shane Geraghty. All six players, along with Declan, will take responsibility for their area of the game.
Alex and David will run the scrum, Bryn the lineout, Declan and Tom�s will organise defence and Ian and Shane will control the attack. One of these leaders will also be the matchday captain.
London Irish Director of Rugby, Brian Smith said: "I'm delighted that Declan has agreed to be Club Captain next year. He is a player who has come up through the ranks at London Irish and has been involved in Finals and Cup triumphs.
"He will bring experience and passion and be a fantastic influence around our squad this season. The leadership group will take responsibility for their specific elements of the game and one will captain the side on a matchday. All seven players are tremendous leaders and will set the standard for the squad this season."

Good Morning
I think I have said enough about recent events but I have been in contact
with my lawyer, not even bothering with a solicitor. Unless they settle I
will see them both in court. Today is the last day of Songran and I hate
it! Not much fun going outside and getting sprayed with water but its
Thailand and so be it. The last week has been very difficult but I still
made money but that is me done for the week.
I am not trading today as usual on a Friday the room and service will be
back on Monday. I am off out to get drunk, wet and have some fun and yes I
will be buying a water gun and giving as much as I get!
I once lived on a loaf of bread and 1 plate of chips for 1 week! Whilst
sleeping somewhere you really don't want to know about! I never forget
where I came from and now I have a lot, live in a great place and make
money every day for the right reasons! So time for some fun.
Simon and Michael I wish you all the best but make sure you answer your
letters as you really need to do so!
The money I get will be going to charity. BTW I will win! As you both dont have a leg to stand on! But 50K should help the homeless quite a bit.
News today we have? Well basically nothing so I expect a very quiet market
and levels are really out of the window.
Markets been tricky this week but if you really want to trade I would be
very careful as its been really choppy yesterday and I cant see what to do
today. So I will not be trading as I hate Fridays, almost as much as I hate getting wet and sprayed with white powder!
So let's come back on Monday and make some money for the right reasons!
Many thanks for your emails of support and they are appreciated and I will
answer over the weekend.

With Waters undefeated I can understand that. But it's interesting that he was still #3 last week with his undefeated record with Nico #2. I have no problem if Waters jumps Nico, but would have thought that it would have happened last week after Nico's loss to McD. It's a shame that Waters isn't facing any of the tough B1G guys this year prior to NCAA's.
D1CW has Alan Waters #2 this week.
125 LBS - D1 College Wrestling
Who has zero time all american alan waters beaten this year? Triggas and Garrett are literally his only relevant wins. I dont think he deserves the 1 spot just because hes undefeated. Personally.
Go Hawkeyes.
Waters would have multiple losses if he was in the B1G.
We have met the enemy and they is us.
Agreed...........being undefeated is not particularly important if you dont wrestle the best, and Waters has not wrestled the best. Put him in the mixmaster of the Big10 and he's got multiple losses.

I have iced and frozen before. It does work and tastes OK. Sometimes when thawing the icing will smear or discolor in spots from the "sweating".
The best work-ahead would be to bake the cookies, freeze them, then thaw and do all the icing/decorating after they have come to room temp again.

I always freeze my NFSC ahead of time--but at the unbaked stage. I bake them straight from the freezer and they keep their shapes absolutely perfectly. And no need to chill the dough before rolling and cutting the shapes!
Sugar cookies really last a long time, though, just packaged up and on the counter. At least with royal icing, they do. If you're using fondant the icing might get unpleasantly dry.

DescriptionIn the opinion of many, the Book is the finest cliff on Lumpy Ridge. It certainly offers the best non-wide crack climbing (if you like them wide, head for Twin Owls!). Many long, striking crack and dihedral lines grace the complex cliff, which rises to heights of 600'. Due to the cliff's predominant less-than-vertical aspect, many of these lines check in at under 5.10, though there are plenty of test-pieces at 5.10 and 5.11 as well. A few bolt-protected 5.12s are scattered about, and true hardpersons can attempt the 5.13+ crack line of Country Boy, first freed by Tommy Caldwell. Getting ThereFrom the new parking lot, take the west trail towards the old Twin Owls parking lot ~0.6 miles. The Book is a complex cliff; here is an attempt to describe it. Starting from the east, as you view the south-facing cliff from the Black Canyon trail, note a broken area of slabs and gullies (the Cave descent). Just left is the beautiful J-Crack Slab, sporting the very long parallel crack lines of Femp and J-Crack, and several other excellent crack lines to their left. Above are some reddish overhangs on the right, a cavernous overhang (The Cave!), and to the left, a short, steep headwall capping the cliff. ~45-50 minutes to approach.

Long pens new Burnley deal (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Long pens new Burnley deal
6:00am Friday 1st March 2013 in Sport Exclusive By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
BURNLEY have signed defender Kevin Long on a new two-year deal, with a further 12-month option.
The young Irishman has only recently come into the side despite already spending more than three years with the Clarets, after signing from Cork City.
But Long has impressed under manager Sean Dyche, and has been rewarded for consistently solid performances at centre half.
Now, after being loaned out five times since arriving at Turf Moor in January 2010, the 22-year-old is looking forward to a fresh start with Burnley.
"I see my future here now I'm in the team and doing well," said Long, whose initial deal was set to expire in the summer.
"I'm delighted. I've been waiting a long time to get into the Burnley starting XI.
"I'm delighted to be playing at the moment and hopefully we can pick up a few results now."
Long was given his full debut under Dyche in December, against the manager's old club Watford, but suffered a setback with a minor ankle injury.
Since replacing David Edgar in the side, following injury to Michael Duff, Long has started the last three games.
And he has thanked boss Dyche for putting faith in him.
"The manager has faith in everyone. If you're playing and playing well it's hard to change the team, but when there are a few injuries or suspensions all you can do is be ready," he said.
"I've had a lot of managers since I've been here. When you're not playing there's always that doubt (that you might not) but I've always been confident in my own ability.
"When I've been out on loan and done well I've come back and done well in training.
"Every manager has their own style of play. The new manager's come in and gets us working really hard in training, and he said everyone has a fair chance if you're working hard in training and playing well in training.
"Thankfully that's the case.
"Now I just want to do as well as I can, try to stay in the team and hopefully pick up some points."
Long is hoping to celebrate his first win since inclusion in the side at Charlton Athletic tomorrow, and boost a run of only two points from a possible 18, after Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at home to Huddersfield made it six games without a win.
"Everyone's really disappointed because everyone knows we didn't play anywhere near as well as we could on Tuesday," he said.
"We know we can play better and we should have been playing better, that's what's disappointing.
"I think the effort was there, just for whatever reason it just didn't work on the night.
"Everyone's been positive in training and looking forward to (tomorrow) now and hopefully getting a win.
"You've to go into every game believing you can win, and that's what we're doing at the moment. We just haven't got that bit of luck in the last few games.
"I think if we go into (tomorrow) believing we can win, if we play well enough we'll get the three points."

UW's Common Book program puts freshmen on same page
Seattle Times staff reporter
Move over, Oprah.
The University of Washington is launching a book club with 5,000 members — some more willing than others. Beginning next summer, every new student will be handed or mailed the same book and asked to read it by the time classes start.
The university chose its first "Common Book" Tuesday, part of an administration effort to make life cozier and more welcoming for freshmen. But getting English professors, students and administrators to agree on a title was no easy task.
"It kept changing every other meeting," said student-government President Lee Dunbar, whose office was one of about 16 represented on the Common Book committee. "They chose the intellectual route. We were pretty open to either route, but we wanted more of the readable route."
In the end, the 2006 winner was "Mountains Beyond Mountains" by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder.
It's the true story of Dr. Paul Farmer, a crusading infectious-disease specialist dedicated to improving the health of the world's poorest people. Farmer, a Harvard physician, works closely with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle.
"This is a stunning choice for us, because we are building an undergraduate program in global health. It sends a message to students about how they can make a difference in the world," said Christine Ingebritsen, the acting vice provost in the Office of Undergraduate Education.
Although Common Book won't be used for credits, the university will strongly encourage participation and is considering "25 or 30" ways to engage students with the book, such as study groups and speakers at convocation, Ingebritsen said. Buying and distributing the books will cost the UW $50,000 to $65,000.
Other finalists included "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, a best-selling novel exploring class and relationships in modern Afghanistan, and "Bold Spirit" by Spokane author Linda Lawrence Hunt, which details the true story of two women who walked across America in 1896.
The university is not the first to launch a Common Book, often called a Freshman Book elsewhere. Western Washington University recently began a similar program called "Western Reads."
Perhaps the most well-known program is run by the University of North Carolina, which found itself at the center of an international controversy for its 2002 choice: "Approaching the Qur'án: The Early Revelations."
Some argued that the public university was overstepping the line between church and state.
But a little controversy helped readership, apparently. About 65 percent of students read the text that year, a record in eight years, said Judy Deshotels, who helps run the program. Most years, the school gets about 50 percent participation, she said.
"When you are asking an 18-year-old to read a book over summer, you'll get some who are excited about that," she said, "and others who won't invest their time that way."

The Great Finagle goes on. Scott Walker, the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to manage their Midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin, is trying to get rid of same-day voter registration because all the wrong people wind up registering and then voting, and we can't have that. That is, of course, the real reason. Now, the state's Government Accountability Board has shredded every one of his bullpucky excuses. It will not be cheaper. It will not ease the burden on overworked poll workers. And that pesky federal government is going to get in the way anyway. Not that it matters to Walker's merry band of allies in the legislature.
(This is the same GAB, you may recall, the composition of which Walker's gunsels want to change from retired judges to political appointees, because, you know, FREEEDOOMMMM!)
Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) said he had not yet reviewed the material from the accountability board and remained committed to trying to end election-day registration. "They ought to push that out of the chute," he said. "It should be on the floor in January." He said he believed election-day registration made it easier to commit voter fraud, though he acknowledged he had no evidence to support that is happening. "I can't prove it, but we all believe it," he said of fraud. "It would be harder to cheat under Motor Voter and that's why we should go with Motor Voter."

Apple prepares for six months without Jobs
How will Apple fare without CEO Steve Jobs at the helm for six months? History provides some indication.
Clearly, Apple will miss its legendary CEO while he takes a leave of absence to recuperate from health problems that are apparently much more serious than previously thought. But Apple is in far better shape in January 2009 than it was in August 2004, when Jobs announced he had undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer and would have to take a few months off.
These days the company has three strong product lines, a worldwide network of retail stores and, with $24 billion … Read more

FRANKFURT, Germany, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the bank would "consider" unconventional steps to support the euro, rattling markets.
Stock indexes in France, Germany, and Britain were in positive territory before the announcement. They quickly retreated after the bank said it would keep its overnight, bank-to-bank interest rate unchanged and consider other measures.
"The Governing Council may consider undertaking further non-standard monetary policy measures according to what is needed to repair monetary policy transmission," Draghi said at a press conference.
The let down started with high expectations. Last week, Draghi made headlines with his remark that the ECB would do "whatever it takes to preserve the euro."
Investors expected a new bond-purchasing mandate would be announced. Instead, Draghi urged European governments to "activate the European Financial Stability Facility/European Stability Mechanism in the bond market when exceptional financial market circumstances and risks to financial stability exist."
In prepared remarks, Draghi said inflation in the eurozone was likely to fall under 2 percent in 2013. He also said, "further intensification of financial market tensions has the potential to affect the balance of risks for both growth and inflation on the downside."

Healthy Holiday Eating
Food and festivity will always be a part of the holiday season, and that's a great thing! In the months of November to January many of us have multiple holiday gatherings to attend - all in celebration of the blessed birth of Christ. So it's not hard to understand why so many people fall into poor eating habits around the holidays. As a result, people gain a little or a lot of weight around this time of year. What's to blame? Perhaps it's all the tempting goodies available during the season and the pressure from others to overeat. Everywhere we go someone is waiting to joyfully hand out chocolate and Christmas cookies. Or maybe it's the increased emotional eating (whether from holiday stress or holiday joy) or extreme laxity with physical activities because of the busyness of the year. And surely it would too rude to refuse? After all it's the holidays, right?
Because the holiday season can also be a very stressful time for many, we are going to need all of the energy and stamina we can get to cope with this time of year. That's why it's all the more important that we be intentional about eating the right types of nutrients to deal with the stress and eat the way God intended.
Consider these tips for fully enjoying the holiday season in a healthy way!
Narrow down your options
If you attend a gathering that is offering a lot of sugary treats. Find one or two of your favorite holiday goodies and enjoy them! After that, call it quits on desserts.
Eat regularly
If you are going to a big party or dinner, don't starve yourself all day in anticipation. If you do, you're in danger of arriving there feeling ravenous and eating everything in sight. Instead, consume a balanced breakfast (egg, toast, and fresh fruit) and a reasonable lunch (sandwich and fresh vegetables/fruit) so your blood sugar doesn't drop and cause even more sugar cravings.
Be assertive
Don't feel as though you have to say yes to everyone that offers you food. If you are not hungry, then simply say so. Peer pressure can influence some of our food choices around the holidays, so be aware.
Prepare for outings
If you have some big meals planned over the holiday season, try to have as many routinely healthy meals as possible leading up to the event. Then when you attend the gathering you can enjoy all the special entrées and treats - within moderation. Many of us think that we might as well forget about healthy eating over the holidays instead of realizing that we shouldn't forget all about our healthy habits. It's a time to simply manage them a little more carefully.
Have a happy and healthy holiday season. And don't forget in the hustle and bustle the reason for the season. Fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess (Heb 3:1).

How exciting to have Bindi's Bootcamp: Reboot and Steve Irwin's Wildlife Warriors showing on Discovery Kids throughout the Asia regions. To celebrate all of this excitement, Discovery Kids invited Mum, Robert and me to come to...
Read all of Bindi's Blogs in the Zoo Club!
Bindi Irwin is only 14 years old and is already an international award-winning celebrity, along with her brother Robert Irwin, 8 years old, who have inherited their father's passion for wildlife and conservation. Born to enthusiastic wildlife conservationists Steve and Terri Irwin, Bindi and Robert were quite literally born on television.
By the age of 9, Bindi had appeared on numerous American chat-shows, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, Oprah and Larry King Live.
In 2007, Bindi launched her clothing range, Bindi Wear International, in Las Vegas, and that same year she was awarded two Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Fave Aussie and Biggest Greenie. Also in 2007, Bindi launched her very own TV show, Bindi: The Jungle Girl, which won an Emmy in 2008 and was nominated for an Emmy again in 2009.
Bindi loves to sing and dance, particularly about wildlife, and regularly performs songs from her popular and award winning DVDs at Australia Zoo. Bindi has also performed at special events such as 'G'Day USA' at the Music Centre in LA and the New York City Centre in 2007.
In 2008, Bindi won a Logie for 'Most popular new female talent' and in 2009 she was nominated for an ARIA (Australian Record Industry Award). Both Bindi & Robert Irwin were awarded the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Biggest Greenies in 2009. They accepted this award together and dedicated it to their father Steve, and the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve.
Bindi has also co-created a range of books called Bindi Wildlife Adventures which have been launched in Australia, New Zealand in 2010 and the US in 2011.
Released early 2010, Bindi played the lead-role in her first full-length feature film, Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove and starred in her first cinema release film Return to Nim's Island in 2013!
Bindi and Robert are both so passionate about wildlife - Steve shines through in them both. They are caring and sensitive about wildlife or people who need help.
The greatest reward for Bindi and Robert would be to have the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve - a special conservation property dedicated to Steve - protected from mining. It is a living tribute to Steve and a place that is very dear to them.

Report: Belcher kissed girlfriend after he shot her
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Sheriff's Officers recovered a stolen van at an abandoned Springfield home Wednesday after a patrol officer tried to pull the van over and the two men fled.
Officers recovered the van from an abandoned home located near West 8th and Pearl Streets.
Police at the scene told First Coast News the van was reported stolen from Jacksonville's Westside Wednesday morning.
A patrol officer riding near Springfield then saw a van matching the stolen vehicle's description.
When he activated his blue lights and tried to stop the van, which was being driven by two unidentified men, the van sped off.
The van stopped in an alleyway near an abandoned home and a vacant lot. Police said neighbors told them the two men bailed out of the van and one of them went inside the abandoned home.
When police searched the home, however, they did not find anyone.
Police are now processing the stolen van for evidence. Officers at the scene said they recovered stolen items inside the van.
A description of the two men has not yet been released by police.

The New York Plaza hotel has turned to the iPad to offer guests a little extra comfort during their stay. The rollout was completed in January and gives guests access to a huge list of features.
Some of the features include ordering of room service, restaurant reservations, wake up calls, city guides, check airline schedules and even printing of boarding passes. The iPad can even control the rooms lighting, heating and air conditioning as well as offering guests' access to the web. The hotel worked with developer Intelity who customised its ICE software (Interactive Customer Experience) to provide the experience.
"Before in the guest rooms, we had another digital panel that controlled the lights, the temperature and some guest services," Shane Krige, general manager of The Plaza explained to Luxist. "But it wasn't sophisticated enough for what we wanted to do. So we teamed up with Intelity to devise the software for the program." "We chose the iPad because it is a great piece of equipment that is here to stay and won't disappear tomorrow," adds Krige. "It brings another five star element to the hotel."
The iPad will not replace the current concierge service, but is meant to offer guests more choice should they wish to use it. The app will also be available in iTunes for guests to download and use on their iPhone too. There is a video after the break showing how it works!

Online UK bank First Direct has launched an iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad app that lets you view your statement but also carry out some simple transactions too.

To use the service you must already be a registered First Direct internet banking user and payments can only be made to those accounts that you have setup online already.
It looks like Apple isn't showing any iOS 4.3 love to the iPhone 3G. No formal announcement has been made about the lack of support but no official iOS 4.3 beta download has been made available either, not for iPhone 3G or the 2009 iPhone touch 2.
Would Apple really cut off the iPhone 3G with iOS 4.3 and not wait for iOS 5? Do you think iOS 4 performance issues are to blame?
