The essentials
"You must be open to seeing these essentials around you…"
You know darling, I am sure there are things in this world of yours that can take you to my shimmery shabby village when the day in your world is not going as great as you would like it to.
There's the feel of velvet on your skin when sitting on a cushioned chair with a backless dress, and dining al fresco anywhere, everywhere, because really, wherever you are, you can always look up at the sky whether it is night or day, and be there completely, unaffected by the noise around you.
There are flowers — roses, tulips, hydrangeas, peonies and many more. These will always take you to the one who reveres them, while protruding ears recall an undying love — well, at least they do so for me. Skinny pants and leather scream the fabulous Eduardo del Mar and wrinkles must remind you of the stains of relative time — lines that could tell an immeasurable number of stories, while the rain can carry your dark and dreary emotions away from you.
These are some of the essentials that can help you find your way in the shimmery shabby world of my village. There are other things darling, including smoking slippers to pace around in the woods and elaborate dresses that summon the intricate moulding found on the walls of the village, but if these are not at hand, the former will always be.

I had all these great plans to do post after post of the Scotland photos. I just give up. John got ahead of me and did a Picasa photoshow, complete with captions, so I'm just going to link to it and leave it at that. I will admit that even I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the photos we took. Here it is, go have a look. He picked a pretty good representation of where we went and what we did.
This week is starting off a little badly. I had the weekend off, which was great, except that yesterday I felt like crap. By evening I was feeling better, so figured I was over it, but woke up this morning still feeling like I had a bug. I went as far as taking a shower before I just threw in (down?) the towel and called in sick. I generally think that staying home sick is a real waste of time, since if I'm sick enough to stay home, I don't feel like doing much else either. I guess that fits with the "surrender" theme. Oh well. I'm feeling better at this point, so will drag my sorry butt out of bed tomorrow and get to work whether I feel like it or not. If I spend too many days sick in bed, I can convince myself that I really AM sick.
Knitting is proceeding. I've fallen in love with that True Blood Faery sweater again. I'm still on the first sleeve, but it's going well. Here's a crappy photo or two. It looks much like it did the last time I showed it, but it really is bigger.
OK, I'm off to collapse on the sofa again, with a book and a cup of tea. Fortunately I have a huge stash of good books to sustain me!
P.S. Thanks for all the great birthday wishes! I might surrender and never get around to answering all the comments, so I figured I better say it here.

Ten Years of Counter Strike: Part One

"I hope they realized what could have been and how much damage they did with their blind greed."ReplyDelete
The only problem with that statement is that if the greed is blind, then nothing is learned. People who don't understand the dynamic and the intangibles of the global competitive gaming and E-Sports community won't understand the damage they do because they're not a part of it. They will just accept it as a "failed venture," or whatever they'd like to call it, and move on to the next Get-Rich-Quick idea. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if CPL becomes top dog again simply because all the other international competitions just ran out of money.
I'm not sure I see your point, rebound. Are you saying that all the guys who failed doing stuff like CXG and WSVG learned something from them? Personally I haven't seen any evidence of that, except maybe how to fail even worse the next time.ReplyDelete
I am pretty sure that no one ever learns from the mistakes of others in eSports. Primarily because people think that they are smarter, have a better idea, are more in touch with the community, have more money, or are better business men than the other guys so what happened to the other guy could never happen to them.ReplyDelete
I mean look at what happened to the CPL. They used spread themselves thin in 2005. The CPL World Tour and the 1 million dollars they gave away was "earth shattering" at the time. In the end though they abandoned the game that brought them to the dance ... and WSVG picked up to make the same mistakes over again ... and then the CGS.
Five dollars if you can name the idiot responsible for all this carnage.

Fresh, frozen, canned and dried greens and fruit are surprisingly similar in nutritional value. 100% juice lacks the fiber of entire greens and fruit but can still be a wholesome selection. Canned fruit may be loaded with sugars to be prevented but the rest might be as healthy as fresh.
The issue with the tobacco remedy is that I am not a smoker. She additionally told me that limes would do the identical factor, so I decided to attempt the lime first. prasetio30…So good to hear that you're studying from these articles. That compliment made my day as a result of for this reason I write! Thanks a lot for the go to and type phrases! This was actually fascinating. My husband makes a variety of smoothies however I are inclined to eat my yogurt and fruit separately each morning. More so as a result of I am a diabetic and it slows down the digestive course of than an actual choice. Good to know just how useful smoothies might be.
Your mother and my mother should have come from the same faculty. Once we traveled by automotive we at all times did related issues. Saves a lot of money and time and the meals talked about have good health benefits as a bonus. Great hub. Voted useful and up! MSG appears like a white crystal, resembling salt. Consumed on its own, it's virtually tasteless however scientists consider that together with certain foods it stimulates glutamate receptors in the tongue, enhancing salty, beefy flavours in foods.
If it's exhausting to go out for train strive yoga in your room. Surya Namaskar is a full body exercise at very slow pace and it would not damage the joints and fills our body with positive energy for whole day. You'll be able to Google it and be taught it from YouTube videos. Guinea pigs, along with any pet, require what's referred to as 'socialization', which is only a fancy manner of saying that you're going to must ensure you take time to softly method your guinea pig and play with it, hold it, pet it, help it to get used to listening to your voice and feeling your contact.
Apple Cider Vinegar works better than expensive skincare products for pimples and to maintain your skin easy and clear. It's also free from the harmful chemicals which are used within the pimples merchandise. As with the nice foods record, this checklist can also be not complete, so should you're unsure, wait till you have either talked to a vet or requested someone who would possibly know (like me!) before feeding your piggie.

How do we approach God?
By Nick Bibile
Eph In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
We will continue where we stopped last time. We saw very clearly last time even the angels were amazed of Gods wisdom, such a great salvation he provided for unworthy sinners like us. The gospel is the exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even the angels are subject to him, all principalities and powers are under one head, the Lord Jesus.
How do you approach God? Some approach God through a new experience, emotions. Some one has to pump their emotions high with music or with emotional preaching so they can get high on emotions; many are deceived that they can access God this way. Some approach God through their traditions, lighting candles, incense, worshipping an image. Some say that they cannot approach God as they are sinful so they ask the priest or the minister to pray on behalf of them so they can approach God. The question is how do we approach God? Our way, the church way or Gods way? There is only one answer and thats Gods way. Gods way is not through our zeal or emotions but according to his instructions only.
During the past U.S elections (2004) 56% of the red states of the map believed that the Bible is the literal word of God and 44% of the blue states believed that the Bible is the literal word of God. Morality was the biggest issue for President Bush to win the elections. But let me ask you a question. If we believe that America will become morally good, having the Ten Commandments in public places, prayer in schools, stopping homosexuality and abortions we as a nation will be more blesses as we are approaching God in the right moral way. Absolutely no. There were very moral and religious people (Pharisees) during the time of Jesus but they were wrong. You have to come Gods way. Even though 56% of the red states believed that the Bible is the literal word of God, when it comes to very important issues like sin and salvation how many would not agree with some important scriptures.
Let us learn from Nadab and Abihu.
10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer and
put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the
LORD, which he commanded them not.
Le 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
Nadab and Abihu went to the temple only the high priest can go, did put incense before the Lord and offered a strange fire; it is not the fire that came from heaven, but an earthly fire. They took the commandments of the Lord very lightly, but God killed them on the spot. They thought they were doing the right thing, but they went without instructions, without directions to the holy place, it was a misguided zeal not according to knowledge.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The unbelievers cannot enter to the presence of God as Jesus is the key in opening and closing the door to the presence of God.
Re 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
The word of God is the rule of our faith and the word of God is the final authority as Christians we do not walk by sight but by faith. Let us continue on Ephesians 3:12 as it gives the answer.
Eph In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
First of all we need to understand that God is infinitely holy and we are unholy. There is no way an unholy man come boldly to the infinitely holy God.
Ps 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Many people approach God with confidence and boldness, just because someone approaches God with confidence and boldness as Ephesians 3:12 say, does God accept his approach? The key is does God going to accept your way of approach to him?
Remember the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:10-14. They both approached God through prayer. The Pharisee was very religious and thought he was good not like any other sinners, he had confidence and boldness in approaching God. But his confidence and boldness was based on his own system of religion not on the truth. The other man the tax collector approach God not in his confidence or boldness but pleading for mercy as being a sinner. The answer is that the tax collector was justified before God and not the Pharisee.
Eph In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
How can the true Christian have so much confidence and boldness to approach God?
God is the Judge of the universe. He is a righteous Judge.
He will not compromise with sins. His judgments are severe. He destroyed the
earth with the flood, rained fire and brimstone on
Now when you appear before a Judge as you are being accused and there is this lawyer who is accusing you of all of your wrong doings, you cannot go by your self. You need an attorney to represent you, an attorney that you will have confidence so you can face the judge with boldness. In the same way Satan is called the accuser of the brethren. He is accusing of all your sins to God. Satan can make all the lawyers of this world to nothing when you compare his brilliance and tactics, accusing the Christians in very legal way. But praise God the true Christians have another attorney who represent us and that is Jesus Christ.
1Jo 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Note he is righteous. In him there is no sin. He is very God of very God, the law was satisfied. He took the punishment on behalf of the true believer. God looks at the believing sinner as Satans accusations are very legitimate, God sees the believing sinner as white as snow there is not a spot of blemish all guilt and sin removed by the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true Christians substitute, the debt has been paid.
It is godly sorrow that produce repentance. Remember the story of the tax collector, thats godly sorrow. Have you truly repented of your sins? If you say you have no sins then you make God a liar.
1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
We can access the Father with boldness and confidence not in our performance but in the performance of Jesus Christ.
No one can approach God unless he or she is justified before God.
God is infinitely holy and we are not, first of all for us to access to God we need to be justified before God. Justified has to do although you are guilty and deserve punishment but now you are pardoned and the guilt is removed through Jesus Christ. The true Christians are made righteous before God in Christ Jesus.
Ro 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Ro 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Here is the key; we are justified by faith now we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus. If you dont have peace with God there is no way you can approach God, before we were enmity with God now we have peace with God.
We are not justified because of our faith. Faith came to us by the word of God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. (Rom ; ) It came by the gospel and the object of saving faith is Christ.
Christ did it all. It was Christ who redeemed us from the curse of the law, he redeemed us through his blood, forgave us our sins. He fulfilled the law by the holiness of his human nature by obedience even unto death of the cross; he was able to perform obedience and satisfied the Father on our behalf.
Without the righteousness of Christ imputing to the believing sinner there will be no faith. We did not choose him because of our faith but he chose us. (John 15:16)
1Jo Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
Ro 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Note very carefully on Romans 8:1 are you walking after the Spirit or after the flesh? If you are walking after the spirit according to the word of God in the fellowship of Christ, you love Christ and read his word, pray, meditate on him, having a sweet communion with him then you are not condemned. But if you have only a religion, become a hypocrite, on Sunday you wear the mask of Christianity then you are fooling your self. Because soon after church you will go back to your worldly ways to your pet sins. You have no time for God.
Everything is naked and open before God; you may fool a lot of people including you but not God.
Hebrews 4
13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Our mediator, High Priest
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Christians are not perfect but when they truly repent of their sins and walk in Gods way they are forgiven in Christ, its all because of his grace.
Ro Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Another part why the true Christian has boldness and confidence in approaching God is because of their conscience is clear. Martin
Luther said, "My conscience has been taken captive by the Word of God, and to go against my conscience or scripture is neither right nor safe."
Heb Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Oh the precious blood of Jesus that not only removes the guilt and cleanses all sins but removes the guilty conscience in the true Christian. The blood of Christ is infinitely precious, perfectly justifying, always cleansing and fully sanctifying.
Heb Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
But there are those who call themselves Christians but not true Christians in reality who make time to come to church on Sundays and sometimes they enjoy coming, outwardly they will praise God. They will not plead guilty before God and will never change as their conscience is not awakened by the spirit of God, they will go on their ways as they have no fear before God.
Christ is the only door that is opened to heaven.
Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
At his death the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, (Matthew 27:51) now we can approach God and come to his presence by Christ alone.
Just imagine God has opened the heavens through Jesus Christ to the believers. How do you spend your time on earth if God has opened the heavens through Jesus Christ? You can approach God boldly and confidently through the Lord Jesus.
Many have no desire to approach God as they fulfill earthly desires as they have a passion for this world rather than God and they are consumed with the things of this world. They cannot see Christ the door as the door is covered with materialism, idolatry, greediness, gluttony, pleasures and the comforts of this earth, their eyes are downward instead of upward. Pray and ask the Lord for mercy and grace, pray for passion for his word, pray for growth in Christ, pray that you will serve and worship God.

Republican candidate Carly Fiorina has decided to throw some shots at Trump just like the rest of the candidates have no problem with either. Last week though Trump started this war when he mocked her very disrespectfully.
On Monday's Tonight Show, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO sat down with Jimmy Fallon for a few words. Fiorina criticized Trump's willingness to meet with Russian President Valdimir Putin. She said the two would get along though:
"The two of them have a lot in common, actually."
The candidate then asked Fallon if he can do an impression of Putin that she could judge herself! Check it out below:

I have fallen for this girl at my church. She is 18 and I am 20. From what I know of her she is great. The only problem is she goes to a different mass time than I do. We talked briefly last Sunday and I have talked to her a few times on Facebook. I just can't get her out of my head.
I feel like if I started going to the later mass (the one she goes to) it would weird her out a little. I am really tempted to tell her because not knowing is killing me inside. I'd rather find out the answer is no then to never find out and wonder for the rest of my life.
Is this a good idea? Should I tell her that I have a crush on her or should I keep it to myself?
Most Helpful Girl
Why not ask her to hang out sometimes? I think telling her you have a crush on her is a bit drastic ( you barely (not for a long time) know her I guess based on what you wrote ). Get her number, talk on facebook and go on dates see where it goes.
And I don't think going to the later mass is weird at all. Maybe it fits your schedule better, she won't think much of it.
Good luck!00|00|0

You might remember these newlyweds, we featured their summer time water fight engagements, and we also featured their fall mountain groomals! It is no surprise that we finalize up their wedding publication fame with a few images from their snowy winter wedding! We loved seeing them through multiple seasons and its apparent that water is a comfortable element for these two! They started out fighting with a hose, then moved to a lakeside boat, and then said I DO in big flakes of snowy bliss! Thanks to Sami Jo Photography for sharing these gorgeous winter images from Mikel & Blake's winter wedding.
Mikel kindly shared with us her thoughts and advice: It's important to remember that your wedding day is a happy day! Crazy things might happen, we got caught in a blizzard, but those are the things that make it YOUR day and will be an important part of making your wedding memorable.

"Blessedare the poor in spirit" Matt 5:3
Whoare these poor in spirit? They are the ones who realize that before God, theyhave nothing to offer. Without God they bring nothing to the table. They have no hope for any future if God does not take their part.
InPs 51 David, (God's favorite) in his prayer of repentance for his failing with Bathsheba, states, "A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise." (Ps 51:17 NASB)
InJames 4:6 the, James says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Thepoor in spirit are those who see their need for redemption. Without this sense you will never get right with God. It is a wonderful thing to grow up in a Christian family. You have a chance to live a good life and never make thosehuge mistakes that hurt so badly, and cost so dearly. However, there is adanger of becoming familiar with the Holy, and missing the fact that you need asavior. This was my testimony. I was born and raised in a church setting forall my growing up years, but never got serious about God until at age 25 whenthe Holy Spirit opened my eyes to my own sin and my need for a savior. Itchanged my life. I was no longer a good enough to get by church kid. I was onset on fire for God.
"fortheirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Thereis no other way into the kingdom of heaven save a broken and contrite heart.You cannot be born in, you cannot be raised in, and you cannot memorize enough scripture, or pray enough prayers. It is not even about believing the rightfacts about Jesus. You can believe that Jesus is the Son of God and still diein your sin. You can believe that He died on the cross for your sin and neverknow the life He offers. You can believe that He rose from the dead and stilldie and go to an eternal hell.
Untilyou see your own spiritual deadness, and take hold of Jesus as your Lord, Master, King and Boss you cannot enter into His kingdom. He is the only way. It is not about believing the right facts, or praying the magic words. It is about exchanging your life for His.
Hey, thanks for reading today!


text: Wife has been making great progress improving her riding skills now that we have been making the effort for her to ride every weekend. She always rides her own XT-225 and usually also takes another ride rear seat with me on my 990 Adventure. While 2-up I will demo stuff she asks about from her own ride. She seemed to have gotten past her noobishness, was enjoying riding, and on her way to being a competent though not bold rider. This afternoon was a beautiful day here and we went out for a short 1 to 1.5 hour local ride, local paved roads and maintained dirt roads, with me on my DRZ. We avoid & minimize higher speed roads and roads with heavy traffic. My DRZ is geared for rocks and has knobbies so I don't like to go more than 55 MPH and would rather go 45. Her bike actually has a higher useable top speed. We try to mix up the routes for variety and do a different loop every week. Here's what turned out to be the first link in the chain of causation: As we were both sitting on our bikes in the road in front of our house, bikes running, gear on & ready to go, I realized I'd left my GPS inside. I briefly considered going back in for it but WTF, I am not going to get lost on a local ride. I was founding Trailboss for our club's popular Dualsport event, laid out 130 mile Big Bike routes for 8 years or so, I ought to be able to find my way. We had made it maybe 2/3 of the way around our loop and were on our way home. We were on a paved town road that's used as a through road and I intended we turn right onto a dirt road that comes in on one side (only). We 'd both been down it before on bikes and in cars but not frequently. We were going 40-45 MPH when the side road came up sooner than I'd expected. If I'd had the GPS, I would have known. I actually considered purposely riding past it, stopping further down, and telling Wife we needed to make a U-turn. But I didn't want to have her U-turn on that road because it is moderately traveled and (despite having passed MSF just fine) she doesn't like U-turns and I've seen her get stuck in the U half way through. We'd rather have her practice those in a parking lot (we use the commercial area right in front of our development) or on a very low speed and less traveled road where cars would not come up on her fast. I decided the turn was still make-able, which was the 2nd link. I braked hard, straight ahead, on the clean pavement of the through road. There was nobody anywhere nearby behind us. After getting the bike slowed down, I made a very square turn into the side road. There was nobody coming out of it, I looked. It was not a smooth maneuver, it was "saving it", but it worked. My wife does not tailgate, she was a good 100 feet or more behind me. I figured if she wasn't comfortable stopping that quickly, that she'd just roll past, and have to make that dreaded U-turn. As it happens, on our previous ride we had practiced hard stops in the parking lot before we went out on the road. But here was the 3rd link. She angled right while she was braking, like a shortcut into the turn. If only she'd stayed straight she would have been okay. The 50/50 dualsport front tire on her bike stops a lot better on pavement than the knobby front on mine. But she was still braking firmly as she angled into the sand and then tried to turn in. The front tucked and down she went, though at a slow speed maybe 10 MPH since she gotten it slowed down a lot. While it was happening, neither of us expected the getoff to result in significant injury. Looking her gear over afterward, there wasn't a tear or even a scuff on the elbow/forearm pads (she'd taken the upper body impact on the forearm) on her riding jacket, nor on her riding pants. She was wearing dirt boots that are nearly knee-high. Unfortunately as she went down her boot got caught between the bike and the ground and got a twist put on it. Local volunteer ambulance & fire responded. On the scene we thought there was only an ankle sprain as there was no displacement, and a bruised knee from impact. But x-ray showed a hairline ankle fracture (no displacement) and while nothing showed up on the knee x-ray, the knee had become hugely swollen so is now officially a "sprain". Satisfied she was "stabilized", the ER sent her home with an aircast for the ankle and an immobilizer for the knee, with instructions to call the ortho-doc in the morning. Not a life threatening injury but she'll likely be hobbling for a while, and CAN'T DRIVE which will be a PITA. And to add insult to injury, the painkillers she got made her sick and she threw up into a flowerpot. One funny thing was that a local VFD guy, who rides, and was driving the other way in his work truck, actually saw her go down. And that they know each other, he being a regular customer of her business. He was the one who called it in after it became clear she wasn't just going to be able to walk it off. A lot of the responders knew her son (my stepson) who is also on the VFD there, but was out of town that day. And while we were in the ER, a guy was wheeled in with a bloody head; he was a former employee of hers who'd taken a fall inside his house. Yup it's a small town here.

So a few days ago I spoke about coming off my anti-depressants. I am loving that my dependancy on something so small, a teeny white tablet, is becoming less and less.
My reason's for wanting to try a more natural alternative were the side effects:
- Hunger, all-the-damn-time!
- Inability to shed kilo's.
- Dry mouth! Imagine your dry mouth hangover but every day.
- Decreased sex drive. Really not confidence boosting when you are about as much fun as a potato sack.

By GUY DOSSI
For The Union Democrat
MODESTO-As the Calaveras Redskins players were walking off the gridiron Friday night, their thoughts had already begun to shift from their 51-15 loss to the Modesto Christian Crusaders, to their upcoming game against future Mother Lode League rival Sonora.
It was a night most Redskins will like to forget and use as a learning experience, rather than dwell on Friday's result.
"Well, it's not a rivalry until both teams have won," said Redskins head coach Jason Weatherby. "And realistically, we haven't won it in quite a while."
"This senior class has never beaten Sonora and this is our last chance," said senior lineman Derek Rittenhouse. "We know for a fact that they come out, hit hard and are ready to play. They don't joke around. So we need to come out and practice hard all week."
The Calaveras team that took the field Friday night was not the same team that Redskins fans saw last week against Yosemite.
"We practiced for what they showed us out there," said linebacker Danny Gilmore. "We were not unprepared. We came off of a great win last week and expected to do better tonight, but just came out a little soft and it showed."
Down 7-0 in the first quarter, the Redskins found lightning in a bottle. Quarterback Justyn Thornburg dropped back and saw Mike Seawell running a slant across the middle. Thornburg threw a dart that only Seawell could catch and, much like he has done his entire Calaveras career, Seawell made two defenders miss and broke another tackle on his way to a 66-yard touchdown.
"We ran that formation earlier in the game and there was nobody on top of me, so I told coach," said Seawell. "A few plays later we ran it and it was open. It was a hot route - nothing complex - just simple."
At the start of the second quarter, the score was tied 7-7 and the Redskins had matched Modesto Christian blow-for-blow. But Modesto switched to a quick tempo, no-huddle offense, that started to take an effect on the Redskin defense.
"We knew they would run a no-huddle, but we really didn't look at it as a hurry-up," said Weatherby. "So when they picked up the tempo and started to go a little quicker, it got us a little bit, so it did play a factor. Plus a lot of our guys play both ways so they started getting gassed."
By halftime, the Redskins found themselves down 28-7. A huge reason for the score was Modesto quarterback Anthony Brooks who tossed three touchdown passes, two of which came within 50 seconds of each other in the second quarter.
"They are just big and physical," said Seawell. "They are a really good team and hats off to them. They are outstanding. We just came out flat tonight. We have a lot of weeks left in the season and a lot of games to be played. We're still a strong team."
The Redskins are a tough, physical running team that is great at eating up a lot of clock and keeping the game tempo in their favor. At this point in the season, they are not a team that is constructed to come back from a huge deficit.
Down 21 points, the Redskins went outside their comfort zone and threw the ball and Modesto was prepared. The Crusaders intercepted six passes and returned one of them for a touchdown.
"We couldn't run the ball so that made us have to pass," said Thornburg. "When we tried to pass, it seemed the defense knew we were going to throw, so that really changed how things went in the game. They did nothing different than what we saw on film."
The Redskin defense tightened up in the third quarter, allowing only three points on a 27-yard field goal.
"We played very well in the first and third quarter," said Weatherby. "Both quarters I think we put together almost the perfect package."
Calaveras was able to get in the end zone one last time on a Connor Hamilton 39-yard touchdown run. The Redskins added a two-point conversion on a pass from Jason Stokkeland to big tight end Blake Ehlers.
Even with the game out of reach, Rittenhouse was pleased with the execution on Hamilton's score.
"It was a run to the strong side," said Rittenhouse. "We opened up the hole and I remember looking and I saw him cutting back and the next thing I knew, he was in the end zone. I was happy because we were telling each other not to quit and to show heart."
Hamilton ended the night as the Redskins leading rusher with 47 yards and a touchdown.
Seawell combined for 132 yards of total offense, which brings his season total to 362 yards from scrimmage and four scores.
Thornburg passed for his first 100-yard game, ending the night with 103 yards and a touchdown, the first in his varsity career.
With the M.C. game now just a distant memory, the focus switches to Sonora.
"This loss is going to drive us," said Thornburg. "It's a big eye-opener of what we need to do and what we need to get done in practice, so we can come out and perform well against Sonora. We have to bump up the intensity in practice this week and we're gonna play our tails off."

First Air is adding a second direct flight between Iqaluit and Ottawa this fall on Mondays and Fridays.
"Effective Sept. 16 we're going to be flying on Mondays and Fridays, two frequencies a day between Ottawa and Iqaluit," says Chris Ferris, the airline's executive vice-president.
"It's pretty exciting, and we also have our 737-400 entering service on Monday."
The airline says the new flights will make it easier to make same-day connections from Yellowknife and the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut to Ottawa.
Travellers at the Iqaluit airport welcomed the news and said they were hopeful the new flight might thin out passenger bottlenecks there.

On Tuesday, China and the United States announced an unprecedented plan to work together to fight global warming. The deal includes new trade partnerships and significant new greenhouse gas goals for both countries. The US pledged to cut its emissions by up to 28 percent by 2025, while China agreed that its emissions would peak around 2030 and promised to get one-fifth of its power from non-fossil-fuel energy sources by the same year. Environmental groups have roundly welcomed the plan as an important step. But critics of the deal—including congressional Republicans—say China has been let off lightly and that it won't follow through with its commitments.

CRAFT // Part Five: The CRAFT
Over these past few weeks, we've discussed various ways you can mend and grow your creative craft. Today, we're going to dissect what CRAFT is, and how you can apply it to your life and the lives of your teammates.
Create. It's the simple basis of any creative's life. It's what you were born to do. You were born to create things. To create means to produce something no one has ever seen, at least from your point of view. To CRAFT, you must first create. Your team MUST create. Lead your team in ways to create new and exciting venues to leak out the gospel in ways your church culture has never seen before.
Refine. Take your creation and dissect it. Tear it to pieces and put it back together. Coal can't become a diamond until it's broken down and beaten. If you want your creations to go to the next level, you have to break it down until it's the creation you meant it to be.
Achieve. Don't EVER hold back. Take your team to new venues of achievement. Show them there's a reason why you are trying to create this new project, new song, or taking on a new venture. Don't do it alone – take your team with you, and together you can achieve something amazing.
Forward Movement. Don't ever go backwards. Always head in the direction you've told your team to go. Know where the finish line is for your team. Set your timelines, and guide them where they need to go.
Transform. When you create, refine, achieve your goals, and never go backwards, your creativity in your teams and in your church culture will go to a whole new level. You might be asking yourself "when we get here, what do we do?" You do the process all over again. And you keep on doing this until it's time to change your process, like we talked about in Part 3.
I hope this CRAFT series has been a beneficial blessing to your musicianship and creativity in your church's team. Blessings to you, creative who seeks to create for our Creator.

Why iMessage will never beat WhatsApp
Most of us have experienced some form of 'platform shut out' – when you want to share something with a friend but can't because they use a different device from you and the app isn't available on that device. This problem is particularly acute when it comes to messenger apps, but is common in many apps with sharing or collaboration functionality.
WhatsApp and iMessage illustrate the two approaches that native applications developers take. iMessage works really great on one platform, and because it's only on one platform they have the luxury of focus and fewer resources, so they can sweat the details and deliver a well-crafted product. WhatsApp take a different approach. They make sure they are everywhere they can be, developing for multiple platforms with the knowledge that a network effect that's not limited by the edges of a single platform can propel their app from obscurity into the mainstream.
Betting on a single platform is a risky business. Of course, those of us who've been around for a while know that dominant players do in fact come and go with alarming speed. Yahoo! used to be my default search engine. Before that it was Alta Vista. MySpace was Facebook before Facebook was. And none of this happened all that long ago. So in technology lifecycle terms, no one is too big to fail.
For these two reasons I think multiplatform apps like WhatsApp will always beat single platform apps like iMessage in the long run.
So what's a developer to do? Go with the existing numbers and place all bets on the current dominant player? Or back the new kids on the block as and when they emerge?
It takes a lot of time and effort to build an app for a single platform, let alone multiple platforms. Taking your application and porting it to another platform involves not only working around the differences of the APIs, but also ensuring that the app conforms to the UX principles of the platform.
Its little surprise that many developers bet on a single platform. So what to do? Mike Lee, a speaker from the UK's first Native App Focused event, had a word of advice: "I do things on Apple because I know Apple best, because I use Apple myself, because I like Apple. If by some miracle something I build on Apple develops demand on another platform, I'll find people who feel the same way about their platform as I do about mine, and seek their help."
Perhaps this is an answer: Partner with developers from other platforms.
Platform is culture, and the challenge, as always, is to adapt yourself to every context and try not to force those contexts to adapt to you. Again, it's vital to partner with people who are native in those contexts.
Meeting with developers from other platforms could be a great way to ensure your app reaches as many people as possible. Understanding just enough about the other platform to make informed decisions, but then partnering or outsourcing to other companies that share your passion for quality apps but not your choice of preferred platform. When it comes to building successful apps; emulating WhatsApp is far less risky than following the iMessage model. iMessage will never beat WhatsApp.

This one caught my eye the other day as a very interesting read. I thought I would share it here:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news … n-evolved/
For a taste without going over for a read here is one paragraph with a good idea for what its all about
"As a result of their iconoclastic ancestry, he suggests, people with higher levels of intelligence are more likely to adopt social values and behaviors that are relatively new to human life—liberalism, atheism, staying up late, and (for men) monogamy, for example."
Oooooh, is that a tin opener I can hear? Opening a very large can of very wriggly worms?
The trouble with research like this is that it often uses false assumptions and non-watertight definitions to make conclusions based on false premises.
For example, what definitions of "liberal" and "conservative" are being used here? Presumably the American ones rather than the British ones. And what about people who consider themselves for the most part "conservative" in the American usage of the word, but also happen to be atheists and not believers?
Guilty as charged, my tin opener is humming loudly
And here you go being all reasonable, questioning definitions and being logical
Imagine if everyone acted so reasonable.... a thread like this would just be a friendly and questioning debate to stimulate the mind.
Wonder what his level of intelligence is, and who rated him? lol
Hi friends
I don't agree with the study; it has obvious faults and needs to be improved.
Moses differed with Pharoah; yet Moses was a founder of new Religion. Jesus differed with the corrupted Jewish priest-hood; and Jesus believed in Religion more than the Jews. Muhammad differed with the infidels of Mecca and their concepts and he brought out a new and trutfhul Word from the Creator- God Allah YHWH. How would the study accommodate Moses, Jesus and Muhammad?
I love Moses, Jesus and Muhammad as mentioned in Quran.
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
This study's a fail:
"As a result of their iconoclastic ancestry, he suggests, people with higher levels of intelligence are more likely to adopt social values and behaviors that are relatively new to human life—liberalism, atheism, staying up late, and (for men) monogamy, for example."
This man only had a sample of probably several dozen people. There are hundreds of millions of people in the United States. I know plenty of atheist conservatives and plenty of conservatives who stay up late, and you would think that monogamy would be mainly a conservative thing. And he used IQ tests, which are not the most accurate tests of intelligence, to determine the intelligence of these subjects for the study.
He also used teenagers for his study. Brains aren't fully developed until around the age of 25.
"The study used a picture-based vocabulary test to estimate the IQ of participating teenagers. Seven years later, the same people were asked about their religious and political beliefs."
"But the Add Health method for measuring IQ—via picture vocabulary questions—doesn't necessarily tell you anything about the right kind of intelligence, Ceci said. "They're a better measure of crystallized intelligence, which you acquire through school and culture. That kind of intelligence is not primarily genetic.""
I've seen a couple studies that show this.
Statistically, from what I've seen in different sources, there is a slightly higher average IQ among liberals and atheists.
Here is another recent article
And yes, everybody chime in, all together now: "cnn is not a credible news source"
I disagree. But go ahead and find a study that contradicts it before you start claiming cnn is bogus
http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/26/li … =allsearch
CNN is bogus!
I studied it intensely and extensively before I gained access to a more honest news source called FOX.
Gosh, news to me that FOX is reliable!!
Quick translation:
Honest = same viewpoint as Brenda.
Comprendo mucho.
You betcha!
And I knew I'd get clobbered for that.
(wink wink)
Sure I can.
I watched CNN for days and months on end for a while.
I dunno if they've changed their tactics any since I quit watching them, but
I liked Dobbs and Rick Sanchez until I saw how egotistical they are.
Wolf Blitzer was one of the best, actually. He was more of a newsman than commentator usually.
Anderson Cooper wasn't too bad.
But they all ended up showing their bias.
John Cafferty was the second-worst! He's just plain crabby and mean!
The worst was Don Lemon. Really liked him at first, until he openly showed his racism and then allowed the gay agenda to ride on its coattails.
No wonder Glenn Beck went to a better program.
I must have missed the memo...I grew up with the understanding that CNN was a *very* reliable news source. In all seriousness, has something happened? Why am I hearing all of a sudden that it is not (especially when compared to FOX. FOX? I mean, with a name like that aren't they TELLING YOU they're sneaky?)
CNN is the least biased network. I never see them report something that turns out to be hype or bad reporting.
I do miss Lou Dobbs
I put that in my post because SO MANY people say the network is unreliable. Go figure.
I've noticed that people are saying it as well. I wonder what they're basing that on.
Hi friend wyanjen
I have given my reasons above; what is wrong with them. Please give your reasons.
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
I can't really comment.
I don't know what Moses' IQ actually was. Was Muhammad a liberal? I'm not even convinced that Jesus was celibate, let alone monogamous.
"I'm not even convinced that Jesus was celibate"
Hi friend wyanjen
I am convinced that Jesus was not celibate; he never commanded for celibacy. Jesus must have married; there are people in the world who say they are his off-spring.
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
I've encountered about as many atheist liberal bigots as I have religious conservative bigots.
No rhyme or reason.
There are good, intelligent, rational people on both sides of this. Sounds to me like the guy who did the study had an agenda, and wanted to prove his point about his own superiority (perhaps).
If there are more studies that are credible that can prove the point of the article, then I'll be more willing to accept it. And I do accept that it is a possibility, but from my experience, which has nothing to do with scientific data, it's about sixes.
"There are good, intelligent, rational people on both sides of this. Sounds to me like the guy who did the study had an agenda, and wanted to prove his point about his own superiority (perhaps)."
Hi friend Daniel Carter
I agree with you.
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
Wow, what a beautiful discussion. Rational questions, reasonable tones of "voice." I love it. I also agree with those who say that this study has some major flaws. The sample needs to be much larger, and as mentioned before, should probably include grown ups, IQ is really unreliable...etc.
That having been said...Since I've been accused of being a liberal, I am perfectly content to believe that I am smarter than others who aren't. (Yes, that IS my tongue in my cheek).
What about me?
I consider myself a Liberal, but I absolutely believe in the existence of God, which makes me what...mediocre? Half smart half dumb?
What about Conservative-Atheists?
Who says just being smarter or having a high I.Q. makes one more evolved... What about the evolution of musical talent, or the other arts...
It's interesting you brought that up. I am in the same boat as you, and was wondering about it myself.
I think this goes back to the idea that IQ alone is really a measurement of...nothing...or at least nothing we can define well, anyway. LOL Seriously, there's been a huge movement to identify multiple types of intelligence. So the answer to your question might be that you are of average intelligence in certain areas and above average in others.
Who owns these stations anyway? Who decides what bias gets used? It's obviously not the people on the screen who read the prompts; the reporters may slant their reports in a certain way but who gives them orders to do so or to rewrite?
I've heard it stated (and the staters are foaming at the mouth rabidly!) that Jews own our media; that liberals run our media; that pretty much any 'group' one disagrees with runs American media and that they're all liars.
I was taught a theory of Moral and Ethical Development in College Psychology class that would agree with that theory. It was not in the text books though. It broadly classified stages of moral and ethical reasoning into 4 categories: choas, or following only hedonistic values, fundamentalism, scepticism then mysticism.
Therefore, religious people can fall into any of the categories but many fall into fundamentalism.

So, what does a manufacturer do if the law says that they are supposed to tell every owner about a recall but they don't want to do it? Easy, you get the federal government to go along with (after all, they are supposed to enforce the law and once they agree not to, what can anyone else do about it?). Once again, consumer rights take the back seat, but this time it could be in a deadly defective vehicle.
That seems to be what has happened. Consumer protection groups challenged the federal government's policy of allowing "regional" recalls. That's where a recall is issued because of a defect but the recall is limited to the vehicles in just a smaller area of the country. That kind of recall can work to fix most of the vehicles, but it doesn't take into account the fact that cars frequently get sold across states lines and across the country at auto auctions. The result? Some are fixed and some are not, but they all have the defect.
One attorney, fighting the regional recall issue, said the policy was arbitrary, noting a regional recall involving corrosion damage could involve vehicles registered in Maryland and Washington, D.C., but not in Virginia. About 250,000 Virginia residents commute to Maryland and D.C. every day and would not know about the recall or receive the benefit of having the defect repaired for free, she said.
Some state governments have also objected to the regional recall practice. In 2005 Wisconsin objected because GM issued a recall that covered Illinois and Michigan vehicles but not Wisconsin ones. "Unfortunately, these regional recalls exclude many defective vehicles that should otherwise be eligible for recall repairs," Lautenschlager complained. Other states were eventually added to the recall only after they complained loud and long that they should have been included in the first place and the federal government and GM finally agreed.
A regional recall example might be where a part is prone to rust and something might fall off your vehicle, like a tailgate on a pickup truck. Rust might be worse in some areas of the country than in other areas, so the manufacturer might not tell the owners who live outside of the recalled region. Of course, if you move into the recall region and don't know about the recall, then you won't know about the defect either.
Apparently some "activist" judges have sided with the administration and okayed the practice. Although federal law requires that all owners be notified of a recall, regardless of where they live or where the vehicle is registered, the federal government's department in charge of safety recalls notified manufacturers that they could ignore the law and just notify those owners who live in an area where they think the recall would matter.
That's a bit like the corporations saying, to put it bluntly, "we don't need no stinkin' regulations." Maybe they don't, but consumers who drive cars with dangerous defects ought to be warned when the manufacturer knows that some defects are more dangerous in some parts of the country but not others. At least then you can think twice before you move to a state where nothing more serious than just the usual weather can make your car dangerous because the manufacturer didn't build it to handle those freezing, blustery cold winter nights in Houston...
If you call your dealer and they say that your vehicle wasn't covered by a recall, the dealer could be technically telling the truth while, all the time, lieing to you.
If you aren't sure if your vehicle was the subject of one of these regional recalls, go to our Research Links web site page and check out our Defect Resources links to find out.

We love books. We love Christmas. We love books about Christmas! Here are a dozen of our favorite.
1. The Miracle of the Wooden Shoes by Deborah Pace Rowley is a moving story about love, anonymous service, and the gift we receive from the Savior. As is tradition in his German town, Walter puts out his wooden shoes for St. Nicholas to fill with little hope that his will actually contain something the next morning. But they do! Day after day they are secretly filled with goodies and a scripture that testifies of Jesus Christ.
2. A Christmas Bell for Anya by Chris ans Evie Stewart. Anya is one of twelve young women chosen to ring in Christmas morning with her very own bell, lovingly crafted by her father. But it is Russia in 1917 and senseless violence begins as the reign of the Czars comes to an end. Will Anya get to ring her bell at all?
3. I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day – the telling of how this wonderful poem came to be and the events that led to its writing by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This particular book comes with a DVD sharing part of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas concert when it was performed. You can watch this part in the video below. The narration is done by Ed Herrman. It's beautiful!
4. Christmas for a Dollar by Gale Sears is based on a true story. It's 1931 and the Kamp family is struggling to get by. The children expect there will be no gifts on Christmas Day. Then Father brings home one dollar in change and lets the children use it buy special gifts for each other. Joy, love and miracles follow.
5. The Night of Las Posadas by Tomie dePaola. I have to get a bit of my Mexican heritage in here. The people in a small mountain town reenact Mary and Joseph's search for shelter the night Jesus was born.
6. The Stable Where Jesus Was Born by Rhonda Gowler Greene. Written in a nice lilting rhyme that children love to listen to, the story of that first Christmas night so long ago is recounted.
7. Animals Christmas Carol by Helen Ward has beautiful illustrations to accompany each verse of this Christmas song.
The animals tell of the gifts they gave to the Christ child as they shared their home with Him.
8. The Nativity with artwork by J. Kirk Richards. The story of the Nativity is told using scriptures from Matthew, Luke and John.
A new edition to our collection this year, each page contains beautiful artwork created by J. Kirk Richards.
9. The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey with CD: Gift Edition by Susan Wojciechowski shares a delightful tale of Jonathan Toomey a wood carver. Known to the children as Mr. Gloomy, Jonathan's countenance changes overtime as he works on carving a new Nativity set for the Widow McDowell and her son, Thomas.
10. I Know That My Savior Loves Me is technically not a Christmas book per se. It is the words of a Primary song accompanied by the paintings of artist Simon Dewey.
This is a favorite with the nursery kids at church (18 months – 3 years) because they love to point out Jesus on each page.
11. Christmas Tapestry by Patricia Polacco is a retelling of two stories melded together. One tapestry sewn long ago by Rachel Zukor in Germany makes its way around the world and through a series of miraculous events reunites Mrs. Zukor with her husband. Both thought the other did not survive the camps they were sent to by the Nazis because they were Jews. How does this relate to Christmas as the Jews celebrate Hannukah? You'll have to read to find out.
12. Who Is Coming to Our House? by Joseph Slate. The animals get ready to greet some special visitors!

A Note from Rhys, in Portland, Ore…
"For me, being gay means living in tension. My deep core beliefs about the Christian tradition are daily in conflict with my deep core identify as a gay man. That's inside me. Meanwhile outside my head, I have the gay community telling me I'll be happy if I live one way and the church community saying I'll be happy if I live another way.
How this plays out is that I'm the non-hetero element in a mixed-orientation marriage. Why this came about is a lot of reasons. I was raised in a sheltered Christian home-schooled family and raised to be a "good boy." Being shy and eager to please and not having many friends, I thought I'd be happy if I was a good boy and tried to do everything my family and church told me to do. Later I ended up at Bible college where I met my wife. She was kind and thoughtful and created around her one of the safest spaces for me to be myself that I'd ever known. She got to be head over heels for me. I was so immersed in the culture that I didn't ever stop and seriously think about my lifestyle options. Never realized that living a gay lifestyle was a legitimate option for myself. So I took the road I knew and understood, Christian heterosexual marriage.
Five years later, we're still together. Marriage is hard because I figured out who I am and it's not a Christian hetero male. I'm comfortable with my sexuality but don't have a socially acceptable expression for it. Marriage is also good because she's good and loves me so much and wants me to be happy. The way I live is hard because I try to get support from my straight Christian friends and they just don't have a concept for being oriented to your own gender. The way I live is good because most of my friends are eager to learn about me and willing to listen to my same pains over and over and over.
Coming out for me started when I was fourteen and first noticed I thought guys were beautiful. I tried to deny my attractions for most of high school. In college, I started sharing my story with close friends. First I'd say things like, "I'm really struggling with this and don't know what to do." I'd talk about my sexuality like a problem. As I got more comfortable sharing my story, I got more comfortable with who I was. Started talking about being gay the same way I talk about being a writer. Just another part of me.
In some ways, I didn't fully come out until this year when I chose to start openly blogging about my sexuality and how it intersects with my spirituality. For the most part, people have been supportive and eager to continue being friends with me. Lots of people have really appreciated me being open. Often the response to my openness about my struggles is for them to be open about their struggles. I'd say the only real resistance came from my church. What happened was I was going to start an addictions support group, but after the pastors read my blog, they decided I was too "un-cemented in the Gospel." They put the group on hold, made no plans to bring it up again, and it hasn't come up again. That's generally the response I get from the church…they just don't bring it up.
I don't feel like I could be complete without connection to both the church and gay communities, but I don't know that I can ever fully meet the expectations of either. I want validation from both, for the church to say I'm a good Christian and for the gay community to say I'm a good gay man. But because I don't get to fully practice the values of either, I fear that I'll be denied validation from both. Living in a mixed orientation marriage makes me feel like I don't get to live with integrity and that I'm always lying to someone. On the other hand, I get to transcend my identity and sexuality and create a family with a person completely outside my orientation. My whole life is a bridge between the Christian and Gay communities. This is the most beautiful and most painful thing I've ever done. Beautiful because I can see into two worlds. Painful because I'll never fully be comfortable or welcome in either.
I've learned that being gay really truly isn't about sex. It's about friendship and affection and how you make relationships with people. Just so happens my most enriching relationships are with men. I'm okay with that. Honestly, I couldn't imagine life any other way."
