Why SpaceShipOne spun: The high-resolution video of SpaceShipOne rolling during its first X Prize flight certainly could set your head spinning — and led some to wonder whether the SpaceShipOne team would schedule the second, prize-winning flight so soon after Wednesday's "wild ride."
Even the rocket plane's designer, Burt Rutan of Mojave-based Scaled Composites, said he wouldn't commit to Monday's tentative date until data about the roll had been analyzed.
Just a day later, Scaled told X Prize officials that it was sticking with the Monday launch date , and on Friday, Rutan shed additional light on the decision in a Web posting. The statement doesn't fully address the cause of the roll — whether it was pilot error, an aerodynamic anomaly or some combination of those and other factors — but it does explain why the tilt-a-whirl ride wasn't considered serious enough to delay Monday's launch.
Rutan noted that the roll began just as pilot Mike Melvill was leaving the atmosphere, and thus couldn't be corrected by using the plane's control surfaces. Instead, Melvill put the craft's tail booms into their "carefree re-entry" feathered mode, then used the thruster system to counteract the spin rates.
"When he finally started to damp the rates he did so successfully and promptly," Rutan said.
Rutan put a positive spin on the unexpected roll, saying it provided additional data about how the thruster system and the shuttlecock-style, bendable-tail system work.
"As seen on the videos of the flight, the ship righted itself quickly and accurately without pilot input as it fell straight into the atmosphere. No other winged, horizontal-landing spaceship (X-15, Buran, space shuttle) has this capability," Rutan wrote.
Rutan promised to detail the "complex reason" for the roll in a later report, but said he was providing his preliminary view to counteract "incorrect rumors about the rolls that have been seen in various news stories and Web discussion groups."
As for the second launch, takeoff is scheduled at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET), with the midflight rocket launch an hour later. The last time around, the pilot's identity was not made known until the morning of the launch, but it's hard to believe Monday's pilot would be anyone other than Melvill, the only astronaut who's flown a private spacecraft.
Meanwhile, the Canadian government has issued a license for the da Vinci Project's two X Prize-level launches, with a Nov. 1 deadline. Da Vinci team leader Brian Feeney says he intends to go through with those launches whether or not SpaceShipOne takes the $10 million — so the next player in the space-race drama is already waiting in the wings.

Real-life rocket tales: The story behind the $10 million Ansari X Prize, and the SpaceShipOne rocket plane that may well win it three days from now , will be told and retold in the weeks and months ahead, on television and in text.
The first behind-the-scenes saga begins unfolding Sunday night, when the Discovery Channel airs the first part of its SpaceShipOne documentary, "Black Sky: The Race for Space." The second part, with the conclusion of the X Prize chase, is on the schedule for Oct. 7.
On Wednesday, just after the first X Prize flight , SpaceShipOne designer Burt Rutan noted that the show's producers seemed to be planning in advance how and when the X Prize saga would end. "I'd like to review the film now so that I know," he joked.
Then there's the authorized book about the competition, titled "The X Prize: Inside the New Race to Space." The authors are Irene Mona Klotz, who has written about the private space race for Discovery.com and United Press International; and Peter Diamandis, who is the X Prize Foundation's founder and president. The book, which will include profiles of the rocket contest's competitors and 16 pages of color photographs, is due to come out in January.
Yet another book is being done specifically on SpaceShipOne and the team behind it, with Rutan's cooperation, but details about the publication timetable are not yet available.
As previously reported, there's a book in the works about the da Vinci Project, the chief Canadian contender for the X Prize. "Zero Gravity," by da Vinci team leader Brian Feeney and Toronto Star reporter Scott Simmie, should be out in fall 2005.
If you're looking for a classic about the first space race that also gives you a feel for California's Mojave Desert, the current epicenter for the second space race, you'll want to read (or reread) "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe. I couldn't help but think of SpaceShipOne pilot Mike Melvill as I read this reference to the rocket jocks at Edwards Air Force Base:
"My God! — to be a part of Edwards in the late forties and early fifties! — even to be on the ground and hear one of those incredible explosions from 35,000 feet somewhere up there in the blue over the desert and know that some True Brother had commenced his rocket launch … and to know that he would soon be at an altitude, in the thin air at the edge of space, where the stars and the moon came out at noon."
Prose like that earns "The Right Stuff" a nod as this month's selection for the Cosmic Log Used Book Club, which highlights books with cosmic themes that should be available at your local library or secondhand-book shop.

The space road ahead: Hollywood stars, space agency officials and rocket entrepreneurs were watching alongside retirees and children when SpaceShipOne hit its first mark in the two-part quest for the $10 million Ansari X Prize – and most of the onlookers couldn't help but think about what the future will hold.
Top NASA officials were out in force at the Mojave Airport, even though SpaceShipOne's designer, Burt Rutan, has been critical of what he sees as NASA's slow-motion, high-cost approach to spaceflight. NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe said the SpaceShipOne team exemplified the spirit of past aviation pioneers as well as future explorers.
"We at NASA applaud their terrific achievement today, as well as the spirit of competition behind the Ansari X Prize," O'Keefe said in his statement.
Standing near O'Keefe was former astronaut Bill Readdy, NASA's associate administrator for space operations. Readdy — who borrowed your humble correspondent's binoculars to watch SpaceShipOne's landing — thought the mission was just "fantastic."
"This is what the private sector ought to be doing," Readdy said.
He noted that Rutan's company, Scaled Composites, was involved in a consortium that would be conducting space exploration studies for NASA — and said that would serve as a model for NASA's future plans to send humans beyond Earth orbit.
"It's not going to be the same traditional industry partners," Readdy said, referring to aerospace giants such as the Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin.
Companies such as John Deere and Bechtel could play a role in planning for future lunar settlements, for example, and "there will also be the second-, third-, fourth- or fifth-generation private sector," he said.
One of those new-generation companies may well be SpaceDev, which helped develop the rocket engines for SpaceShipOne and recently announced it would be working with NASA's Ames Research Center on new concepts for space transports.
SpaceDev's founder and president, Jim Benson, hailed the way NASA officials have streamlined their procedures for having companies submit proposals on space projects — including a greater emphasis on quick-turnaround "Broad Agency Announcements."
"I think they've turned a corner," Benson said.
Benson said he wrote the names of his three grandchildren on the exterior of SpaceShipOne's engine — and hoped that would remain as a family legacy long after the rocket plane is retired.
"I put all their names on the rocket motor, so if the heat doesn't burn them off, these children can go to the Smithsonian and see their names on a rocket ship," he said.
"Titanic" producer and would-be astronaut James Cameron had a nice long chat with SpaceX founder Elon Musk, and later said Musk had the right idea about SpaceShipOne's significance. "This reduces the sense of impossibility for the average person," Cameron said.
However, Cameron wondered whether SpaceShipOne's technology could be scaled up to the size required for orbital flight.
Perhaps Benson's Dream Chaser, or Musk's future Falcon rocket, or some other rocket concept will win out over Rutan's space-age analog to Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" monoplane. Perhaps what X Prize founder Peter Diamandis calls the "personal spaceflight revolution" will get bogged down in government regulation or turn out to be just too costly.
But for an optimistic view, you can't beat the perspective of Jenny Pyle of Palmdale, Calif., who had been waiting since midnight with her husband and four children alongside the runway to watch SpaceShipOne's takeoff and landing, far from the VIP section.
"When you get older," Pyle told her 9-year-old son, Seth, "this will be an everyday thing."

Lining up for space history: One lone van was sitting in front of the parking lot at the Mojave Airport at midday today, with the first X Prize spectator sitting inside. Sixty-five-year-old Kent Howard, a retired business owner from Genesee, Wis., was waiting to be let inside at 5 p.m. for an overnight stay — and looking forward to a glimpse of space history.
The SpaceShipOne rocket plane is due to shoot into outer space Wednesday morning above California's Mojave Desert, on the first of two flights aimed at winning the $10 million Ansari X Prize for private spaceflight — and if Howard plays his cards right, he should have one of the best seats in the house.
This event — known as "X1," as opposed to the "X2" flight tentatively scheduled for next Monday — has attracted far lighter advance crowds than June's historic SpaceShipOne flight . But Howard felt he had to be here in Mojave for the start of the prize run.
"It might be something that changes the way we travel," Howard said as he waiting inside his comfortably furnished van. "I might not see it in my lifetime, but my kids might."
Howard said he had started out from Wisconsin a week earlier on a vacation, and was taking in the sights along the way. "I've always been a science-fiction fan and a 'Star Trek' fan," he said. But his wife isn't as enthusiastic about outer space — so that's why he's driving solo.
He looked forward to a future time when rocket jaunts will be as common as airplane flights are today.
"You could fly halfway around the world, say, to Sydney, Australia, in a couple of hours," he said. "I'd say it could revolutionize the way we travel."

New X Prize sponsors: The X Prize has added two more sponsorships to its logo-laden placards: M&Ms and 7UP. X Prize spokeswoman Sarah Evans acknowledged that M&Ms decided to join the sponsorship list after SpaceShipOne pilot Mike Melvill threw a handful of the candy-coated chocolates into the air during the weightless phase of his flight — a gesture that was immortalized in video .

Orbital space prize proposed: Robert Bigelow, the millionaire behind Bigelow Aerospace and a plan to develop inflatable space modules for commercial use, is floating the idea of setting up a $50 million prize for the development of a new orbital space vehicle.
In this week's issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology, Bigelow is quoted as saying he'd be willing to contribute $25 million to the prize pool. Other partners, perhaps including NASA, would have to come up with the rest of the money. "America's Space Prize" would be patterned after the Ansari X Prize for suborbital spaceflight, a $10 million award that could well be won in the next week or so.
Bigelow's idea has been circulating on the space rumor mill for some time now, and I referred to the concept indirectly a couple of weeks ago. Orbital spaceflight is substantially harder to do than suborbital flight — just compare the estimates for SpaceShipOne's effort ($20 million-plus over roughly three years) and China's space program ($2 billion or so annually).
Some observers believe the commercial space travel market won't catch fire until private enterprise makes the leap to orbit. Others, however, are worried that a big-money orbital prize, offered with NASA backing, would merely encourage business as usual in human spaceflight. It'll be interesting to see if Bigelow's big idea actually flies, and how high. (Tip o' the Log to Space Race News and RLV News.)

An execution date has been set for the man who abducted, raped and killed 9-year-old Jimmy Ryce in Miami-Dade County in 1995, authorities said Thursday.
Gov. Rick Scott signed a death warrant Thursday for Juan Carlos Chavez, 46, who is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 6 p.m., authorities said.
Jimmy was kidnapped one block from his home in Redland on Sept. 11, 1995.
Chavez ordered the boy at gunpoint into his truck, then drove him to his trailer, where he ordered Jimmy to remove his clothes and sexually battered him, said Melissa Sellers, the communications director for Florida Gov. Rick Scott, in a statement Thursday.
Chavez held the boy captive for more than three and a half hours before he shot and killed him when he tried to escape, the statement said.
"I just received the news that justice will finally be done in the murder of my son, Jimmy, on September 11, 1995. I feel a combination of sadness and relief," his father, Don Ryce, said in a statement. "I hope this sends a message to predators that this behavior will not go unpunished."
He plans to speak with the media at his Vero Beach home on Friday.
It was a case that horrified the state and led to the passage of the Jimmy Ryce Act, which allows authorities to commit dangerous sexual predators to mental institutions once they have completed their prison terms. The law would not have stopped Chavez, however, as he had no previous record for sex crimes.
Two days after the murder, Chavez dismembered the boy's body, filled three planters with his remains and sealed the planters with concrete, Sellers' statement said.
His remains were found three months later near the home of Chavez, who confessed to the killing.
A judge moved Chavez's trial from Miami-Dade to Central Florida because of pretrial publicity. He was convicted of first-degree murder, sexual battery on a person less than 12 years old and armed kidnapping in 1998 and sentenced to death.
The execution comes as lawmakers try to strengthen sexual offense laws, including possible tweaks to the Jimmy Ryce Act.
After the murder, Don Ryce and his wife Claudine, who died in 2009, worked to pass laws that would help find abducted children and prevent similar crimes.
During the search for Jimmy, they put up posters in courthouses and public buildings that were taken down because they weren't authorized. In response, President Bill Clinton signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to post missing-children posters in post offices, federal courthouses and other federal buildings.
The couple, both lawyers, raised awareness about the need for law enforcement to search for missing children sooner, noting that most children who are abducted are killed within 48 hours.
They also set up a nonprofit group that provides bloodhounds to police agencies, support for parents of abducted children and increases awareness about sexual predators.

Dina Lohan pleaded guilty in Long Island court Tuesday to aggravated driving while intoxicated and speeding in connection with a 2013 traffic stop in exchange for no jail time.
The mother of the oft-troubled actress will lose her license for a year and, after that, her car will be outfitted with an ignition interlock so she can't drive it if she's had alcohol.
As part of the plea deal, she was also ordered to pay $2,600 in fines, complete 100 hours of community service and attend a drunk driving program.
Entertainment News
Lohan was arrested in Sept. 2013 on the Northern State Parkway with a blood alcohol level of .20, more than twice the legal limit.

In my previous column, I indicated a change in attitude in the dairy markets. Class III futures increased in price upwards of $2.00 per cwt. Farmers attitudes improved as milk futures moved higher. The last quarter of 2009 boasted a Class III price of over $16.00 per cwt which would put most producers in positive cash flow. However, most of the increase in future prices were a product of short-covering with previous sellers buying back their positions. These buyers become aggressive as they feared higher prices to come, and some were forced out of their positions due to margin calls. Emotions were again running rampant with no thought of the price correlation to the underlying cash markets.
Looking at the cash cheese, butter and dry whey prices, it was clear that the increase was unwarranted in relation to the prices. However, this is a futures market and the combination of increased culling, another CWT herd reduction, the USDA announcement of programs that would use 200 million pounds of nonfat dry milk from the CCC, and steady purchasing of cheese in the Exchange was enough to unleash the bullish attitude.
Now, let me get back to the previous statement indicating the increase of $2.00 or more in the futures being unwarranted. During the three-week period of the Class III futures steadily increased, the underlying block cheese price increased 4 cents, barrels declined 2 cents, and butter increased 3 cent per pound. This certainly did not indicate a change in trend nor a tight market. The resulting display of emotion in the Class III futures market was welcomed as it gave some the opportunity to hedge milk production at acceptable and profitable prices. Once the short-covering ran its course the market came back to reality and lower prices followed as the bullish sentiment retreated and the market moved back to align more closely with cash.
I received many calls from farmers wondering what was going on because the futures were declining so rapidly with potentially supportive underlying news. Prices speak for themselves and that is where the futures market will eventually end up. We need to remember that milk futures will converge to the underlying cash and NASS monthly averages. Cash prices will not converge to the futures prices. Cheese and butter prices may increase during the course of the year, but they are not increasing just because futures prices are higher in later months. They will be increasing due to buyer interest and demand.
The USDA increased their estimated for milk prices for this year. According to the World Supply and Demand report released last week, the all-milk price for this year was increased an average of 55 cents to the range of $11.85-$12.35. The Class III price was increased 55 cents to $10.65-$11.15 with Class IV increasing 40 cents to $9.95-$10.55.
The USDA estimates the cheese price will average $1.270-1.320 per pound, an increase of 5 cents from March. The 2008 average for cheese was $1.8954 per pound. The average butter price was increased 4.5 cents to $1.155-$1.235 per pound. This certainly is good news, but a far cry from profitability.
The reason the USDA increased these prices was due to the increase in futures prices since the March report. They do not have any real insight as to what demand will be, what production will be, what weather will be, etc. These prices are changed relative to the price action of the past month. I have watched this for a long time and you can tell whether they will increase their estimates or decrease their estimates based on what the futures market has done. By looking at the price movement on the charts during March, it is evident why they were more optimistic.
Upcoming reports to watch for are the May advanced Class I price on April 17, the March Milk Production report on April 17, the March Monthly Cold Storage report on April 21, the March Livestock Slaughter report on April 24, and the Dairy Products Annual report on April 24.

Amy is in her 30s, recently divorced, childless and has moved back home to live with her parents. Jeremy is 19, unmarried, an actor, and his mother, who is a therapist, assumes he's gay. Amy's father and his stepfather have a big business deal cooking, one that requires them both to attend one of those dreadful dinners where families must pretend to be friends because there's money to be made.
The conversation is squirmy. Amy's brother, Noah (Daniel Eric Gold), a lawyer, is showing off — and being showed off by their father, who obviously thinks his daughter is a loser. Under these circumstances, what are Amy and Jeremy expected to say? When questioned in order to draw them into the conversation, the acceptable replies are "yes," "fine," "I agree" and "this is such delicious food."
Then their eyes meet across the table. Given their age difference, it would be going too far to describe this moment as love at first sight. Amy (Melanie Lynskey), depressed by divorce and a feeling her life has no purpose, finds she cannot endure one more moment. She leaves the table. Jeremy (Christopher Abbott) follows her. And then, whatddaya know, for his part, it was love at first sight. He makes this urgently clear. She is blindsided and confused. But Jeremy burns with such a bright spark, it is enough to ignite them both.
"Hello, I Must Be Going" is a whimsical comedy about their developing relationship. She resists strongly, not because she doesn't like the young man but because she finds their age difference impossible now and feels it will only grow more so over time.
No, this isn't a film about the double standard by which we accept men with much younger partners but not when it's the other way around. It's more one of those films that depend for humor in situations in which the central couple is threatened by discovery and embarrassment. Those are risks Jeremy, in the fullness of love, willingly accepts. Amy has just failed at an "appropriate" relationship and now is confronted by this … strangeness.
Her mother, Ruth (Blythe Danner), who has always been critical, now is appalled, not least because Amy seems to be sabotaging the deal that would allow husband Stan (John Rubinstein) to settle his affairs and afford to retire. Now there's a guilt trip for you. As for Jeremy's mother, Gwen (Julie White), though therapists are trained to be non-judgmental, my guess is she might be happier if her son had turned out gay.
How do we feel about the romance? This is always a tricky test. The movies so strongly encourage identification that male viewers are presumably required to decide if they find Amy attractive. On that I think a great deal might depend on their own age. Melanie Lynskey (as a human being, not a character) is certainly sweet, cuddly and glows in this performance, but does she generate a sexual gravitation transcending age? A few actresses have all but set up shop as women of a certain age who attract younger lovers. I think of Susan Sarandon, Cameron Diaz and Isabelle Huppert. With Melanie Lynskey, the irresistibility must be in the eye of the beholder.
That may be largely because Amy is such a gray zone. When we meet her she's living life on hold. If there's one thing our society teaches, it's that when you get divorced in your 30s and move back in with Mom and Dad, you think of yourself as a pathetic loser. Amy doesn't believe she can be sexy to Jeremy. If a woman doesn't have that belief, it's hard for a man to feel it. Much credit goes here to Christopher Abbott, whose persuasive performance bridges the gap. He's like a living embodiment of the cliche, "I love you enough for the both of us."
There are scenes in which Amy begins to believe it, too, and begins to warm with tenderness and affection. Notice a scene when the two jump into a swimming pool. There's real sexiness here. But when they have to explain themselves, the result is the kind of lame excuse-making you dread contemplating for the rest of your life.
I can imagine a broader comedy in which the situation might work. Remember Mrs. Robinson or Stifler's mom? But here there's a fugitive undercurrent of sincerity. "Hello, I Must Be Going" raises questions it doesn't have the answers for.

Antiques enthusiast Gerald Roper and his wife, Barbara, have a collection of at least 2,500 Christmas ornaments and antiques, covering every space in their home in Fort Walton Beach.
FORT WALTON BEACH � Antiques enthusiast Gerald Roper warns visitors to his home that they might be overwhelmed when walking through the front door of his house on Waynel Circle.
�It�s over the top, that�s for sure,� Roper said with a laugh.
The retired teacher said he has collected antiques all of his life. To date, he and his wife, Barbara, have a collection of at least 2,500 Christmas ornaments and antiques, covering every space in the home.
View a slideshow from the home.
They said it takes two months to arrange the decorations inside their house every year.
�Everywhere you look, there�s something,� Gerald said.
When walking through the front door a large evergreen swath is in immediate view. The multi-tiered �swag� contains several types of ornaments including some with translucent paint and reverse painted ornaments where the design is on the inside.
Next to the swag is a large reindeer.
�You�ve have to have a little whimsy in the house,� he said.
The first of three Christmas trees located in the front room has a Victorian theme.
The ornaments are from various periods, but mostly the 1800s. Gerald, who is especially fond of the ornaments from that period, said many still have leftover candle wax on them from earlier times when trees were decorated with lit candles.
The Ropers were unable to find a garland that was suitable for the time so they handmade one to resemble the Victorian time period.
The sitting room has several themes, from a swag decorated entirely with houses, to another with several sleighs collected by Barbara for as long as the couple has been married. Many of the couple�s antiques were passed down through generations.
Next door in the family room every object is gold or white. Gerald said it makes it easy to decorate.
The Ropers do not stick to a set design, but choose an area and arrange until it looks the way the want it.
�You never get the same thing twice, we just put �em up,� Gerald said.
The Ropers said they have a system to their decorating. Barbara takes the object out of the box and places the hooks and Gerald hangs it.
Barbara, who is less than 5 feet tall, laughs as she recalls the time when one of the trees broke her fall when she took a tumble while cleaning.
�I was cleaning the top shelf, went over the table because the tree was over farther, and down I went,� Barbara said.
�She rode the tree to the ground,� Gerald recalled. �It�s a little scary but those things happen when you�re decorating.�
Gerald now cleans the top shelf, remarking their doctor prescribed, �no more climbing!�
The Ropers entertain friends frequently and invite them to view the set-up when finished.
�It�s very enjoyable, it just takes a lot of work,� Gerald said.

Best and the Rest: ARM Mini PCs
New shoots from an old acorn
...and the Rest
If you're a Linux type and you can't get a Rπ, need more CPU performance or a more current version of Ubuntu, then a Beagleboard-xM is a much better deal than an ARMini. You could build your own Beagleboard system for around £200-£250 and it will be a far more capable than an Rπ – albeit at about ten times the price.
But this is just scratching the surface of low-cost ARM systems. If you want something complete and ready to go like an ARMini, then the main options are CompuLab's Trim-Slice or SolidRun's CuBox.
Price £151
More info Beagleboard or Farnell
The CuBox is claimed by its makers to be the world's smallest desktop PC: it's a 2in cube, weighing under 100g and running on less than 3W. Available since the start of 2012, it has a single-core 800MHz ARM v7 core, 1GB of RAM, GigE, SPDIF and eSata ports – less powerful than the Thin-Slice, but well-spec'd for a tiny media player with local storage. It comes with a 2GB microSD card preloaded with Ubuntu, but can also dual-boot with Android.
FXI Technology CottonCandy
Even smaller is the CottonCandy from Norwegian outfit FXI. The form-factor of a USB thumbdrive, the machine can also plug directly into an HDMI port. It has few connections – a microUSB connector and a microSD slot and the two host ports – but it packs in a 1.2GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, quad-core Mali 400 GPU, 1GB of RAM and both 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. It's currently only on pre-order, though.
Price £139 (excludes tax and delivery)

Queens is known as one of the more diverse boroughs of New York. From Flushing to Long Island City, the neighborhoods are populated by some of the most concentrated ethnic residents that I've encountered in my entire time in New York City. I live in Astoria, and my entire block is comprised of Indian restaurants, delis, and pharmacies.
However, there's nothing more American than loud rock 'n' roll and grilled cheese. This is exactly what you'll find at the Queens Kickshaw, a hole in the wall on Broadway in Astoria. Upon visiting the other night, I was greeted by blasting rock and a minimalist atmosphere. After sitting down and taking a look at my clipboard menu, its hard not to miss that the beer menu is much more extensive than the actual food options. This must come for the belief that if you're going to do something, you should do it well, as everything we had was fresh, surprising, and delicious.
After starting with some particularly tasty brews (I ordered a Blithering Idiot… I must find this beer again), we received our sandwiches. My dining partner opted for a more traditional route, selecting mozzarella and cheddar with a side of tomato soup that was more closely related to a marinara than actual soup. I was a bit more adventurous, choosing the gouda sandwich. The insides of bread were smoothed over with black bean hummus and guava jam, as well as pickled jalapenos mixed with the melted cheese. Each bite was surprisingly sweet and cheesy, but it was over much too quickly. Luckily, I had come prepared to eat, and went back for the Mushroom & Chestnut Stuffing, which was slathered with gruyere and a side of miso-mustard Pickles.
However, be warned, the joint is cash only, and you could end up forking over a few bills. Due to small portion size, I ended up spending more than anticipated. Although, this was the only drawback to my experience at the Kickshaw--it wasn't a negligible one. But if you're in the area with some cash to spend, it was an extremely delicious meal, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good grilled cheese (So, really… pretty much anyone).

STOCKTON - Garet Hunt carried the symbol of last season's success on to the ice before the season opener. Then, he picked up his stick and got the Thunder off to a fast start.
STOCKTON - Garet Hunt carried the symbol of last season's success on to the ice before the season opener. Then, he picked up his stick and got the Thunder off to a fast start.
Hunt scored just 32 seconds into the game and goalie Brian Foster debuted with a shutout as the Thunder trounced the Colorado Eagles 5-0 Saturday in front of a jubilant opening-night crowd of 6,786 at Stockton Arena.
Stockton was dominant on the same night it hung the banner commemorating last year's ECHL Western Conference championship. Foster had 29 saves, Stockton converted all three of its power-play chances, and New York Islanders' prospects Kirill Kabanov and Mike Dalhuisen debuted by earning a "Gordie Howe hat trick" - a goal, an assist and a fight.
But Hunt, the team captain playing in his franchise record 315th game, started things off and helped give Rich Kromm a victory in his first game as coach of the Thunder.
"We could not have asked for a better start to the season," Kromm said. "Especially the beginning and getting the shutout. I was very happy with the effort."
The crowd was already loud and boisterous after witnessing the banner ceremony. Former team president Dan Chapman, currently an associate athletic director at University of the Pacific, was on hand for the celebration, along with his successor, Brian Sandy.
Hunt received a deafening cheer when he was the final player to be introduced and skated out with the conference trophy. He handed it to Chapman, and a few minutes later drew an even larger ovation.
The Thunder attacked the Colorado net immediately, and Hunt tipped a shot from Ryan Constant past Eagles (1-0-1) goaltender Trevor Cann. It was the beginning of a rocky period for Cann, who was making his first start this season.
"The guys were really fired up for the start," Kromm said. "We were able to capitalize right away on that energy."
Stockton had the first 10 shots of the game, and the Eagles didn't take a shot until the game was 9 minutes old. Cann made a mistake 12:20 into the game when he turned the puck over to Kabanov, whose offering bounced off Cann's left leg and into the net.
Brayden Irwin sent the puck off the crossbar to give Stockton a 3-0 lead late in the first period. Cann came out for the second period, but Mike Keenan's power-play goal sent him to the bench for Adam Brown.
Brown fared better, but Dalhuisen added a Thunder goal with a man advantage with 3:38 left in the second.
The Thunder will host the Ontario Reign at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Stockton Arena.

Emmanuel College will host a Georgia Department of Education Fitness Assessment Training workshop for Physical Education teachers and paraprofessionals from the Hart County and Franklin County School Systems Monday, September 12, 2011, from 8 am to 4 pm in the EC Gymnasium. This mandatory training is in response to a law (H.B. 225) called the SHAPE Act that was signed by Governor Sonny Perdue in June, 2009, which states that " All students in a physical education class in grades 3-12 in the public schools of Georgia must have an annual physical fitness assessment by a qualified physical education teacher. " After the signing of the Bill, the Department of Education developed a statewide Fitness Assessment Committee and established the protocol for training physical education teachers throughout the state and collecting the data through the FitnessGram to be sent to the Department of Education and the Governor's office. Dr. Bud Reiselt, Chair of the Emmanuel College Department of Kinesiology, will be the contact person for the workshop. Dr. Reiselt is a member of the statewide Fitness Assessment Committee and before coming to Emmanuel in 2010, was the Program Specialist for Health and Physical Education at the Department of Education and was instrumental in working with legislatures and the Governor's office in passing the SHAPE Act.

I read a note in one study Bible (American Standard Version—the Open Bible version) for Galatians 5:22, 23 that the fruit of the Spirit is love and that it is manifested in joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I have never heard that before, but thought that that did not sound too far off, and went to 1 Cor. 13 where it says that love is patient, love is kind, supporting that particular note. But this being the first time reading, I wanted to see what other theologians said in their commentaries about it. Matthew Henry's and John Calvin's commentaries both mention fruits of the Spirit. I was wondering what your thoughts were on that.
I agree with you that the Open Bible comment on Galatians 5:22, 23 is "not too far off." Of course verses 22, 23 list a number of distinct virtues as "fruit of the Spirit", and they cannot simply be equated. On the other hand, the word "fruit" in the original is singular—one fruit, suggesting that these qualities are worked in believers as a unity (so your reference to 1 Cor. 13 is right on in that regard).
The underlying thought, I believe, is that the transformation of our character (following the new birth, conversion to faith in Christ) by the sanctifying work of the Spirit is aimed at fulfilling Romans 8:29: "Whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren ...."
The holy, righteous, loving, obedient, serving character of our Lord Jesus in his earthly humiliation (Philippians 2:5-8) was not fragmented but constituted one heart of pure and single-minded devotion to his Father and perfect reflection of his Father's holy and loving character ("He who has seen Me has seen the Father," John 14:9).
In our own lives various aspects of "the" fruit may appear more readily and others more stubbornly, related to our personal complex of besetting sins and weaknesses. We may, therefore, find that we need to pray more earnestly for the Spirit to work in one or two areas more than others. But God's aim in reforming and transforming us as new creatures being made like our Savior (Ephesians 2:10, 15, 4:13, 23,24—both corporately and individually) is the full integrity of our character in conformity to Christ.
And if we can say that "love" shows itself in "joy, peace, patience ... self-control", we can also say that true "patience" (for example) manifests itself in love, joy, peace, etc., as opposed to grimly stoic fatalistic waiting.
I hope this answer is helpful to you. Do feel free to come back with follow up or further questions.
The Lord bless and guide you in His truth and righteousness.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.
