Expectations are a force to be reckoned with! All of us can attest to this.
In relationships when expectations aren't communicated and/or met, that's when things get dicey.
At our places of employment we don't always manage our expectations well.
When setting goals we don't always adjust our expectations appropriately so as to account for our foibles and scheduling snafus of various sorts.
In other words, our expectations can really impact our lives.
I think, however, that there's a mostly unexplored arena when it comes to expectations — namely this: We often have very specific expectations of Jesus that he simply is not going to meet because they run counter to who he has been revealed to be in the Scriptures and in our lives.
Jesus and Expectations
After Jesus fed 5000+ people, he immediately had to deal with their misplaced expectations. Look at John 6.14-15:
After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
Do you see it? Jesus performed an amazing miracle in the midst of lots and lots of people…and those same people then began to think very highly about him. They wisely identified Jesus as a prophet, which is surely true (at least in part). But Jesus discerned what they were thinking, specifically that they wanted him to be their king whether he wanted to or not.
And while Jesus will be the ruling king of kings some day, that day had not come then (and has not come yet either). Jesus had different plans, plans that didn't line up well with the expectations of the people.
So what did Jesus do? He withdrew to a solitary place. He not only did not meet the expectations that were hoisted upon him, but he executed a full-on retreat.
What is behind all of this? There must be more to this story.
There is! The vast majority of the people whom Jesus interacted with during his earthly ministry were Jews living in Palestine. They had for quite some time been ruled by Rome, with a long list of rulers who pre-dated the Romans. Many of the Jews of Palestine were sick and tired of being dominated by others, being taxed by foreign authorities, and having their religious freedom impinged upon with the introduction of gods from other lands.
In other words, many Jews who lived in Palestine during the first century were ready for a political change. And one of the most common and popular conceptions of the messiah, God's promised deliverer, was that he would come as a military conqueror, setting the Jewish people free from their oppression.
Jesus, however, didn't have military conquest as part of his messianic blueprint (at least not yet). And he refused to be boxed into doing something just to fulfill the expectations of the people.
As a quick aside, we can really learn a lot from Jesus right here! How often do we get sucked into the vortex of people-pleasing? How often do we let the expectations of our families, friends, spouses, churches, societies, cultures, etc. impact our decision-making? It's not bad to consider the opinions of others when making decisions, but it seems silly and ultimately dangerous to follow the whims of others no matter what!
Our Expectations Today
All of this talk about some of the Jewish expectations of the first century has me thinking about the expectations that we demand Jesus fulfill today. What are they? What are some of the things we want Jesus to do for us, our way right away?
Here are a few that come to mind immediately:
- We expect health and wealth when we have faith in Jesus. This expectation is nefariously stoked by prosperity gospel preachers and leaders who claim that if we "seed" their ministry with our offerings, then we will be guaranteed a large return on our spiritual (but very financial) investments. But those of us who don't fall for those shenanigans still fight the constant pull toward thinking that God somehow owes us health and wealth anyway.
- We expect inner peace and freedom from large external anxieties when we follow Jesus. We think that if we are "in the center of God's will" that everything will be hunky-dory for us and we will feel right and good on the inside.
- We expect that things will be easy for us when we believe in Jesus. We've been told that God won't give us anything that we can't handle, so we assume that we will never be thrown another curve ball after committing ourselves to Jesus.
- We expect that God will vindicate our thoughts, opinions, and political leanings as a result of our faith in Jesus. We think that since we follow Jesus, then what we think is not only right but that it's the only way of thinking about things. Thus, God will step in an prove us correct, right?
- We expect that God will ensure that our kids will turn out "right," that our friends will never leave us, that our parents will learn to respect us as adults, and that our spouses will always put our interests before their own.
- We expect that if we follow Jesus, that he'll help us get rid of all temptation from our lives. We'll no longer have to struggle with lust, over-eating, gossip, materialism, and the like again!
And, friends, the list could go on. We want to "make Jesus king by force" too, though what we want his kingly power to accomplish in our lives may be a bit different than what many first-century Jews wanted.
Here's the truth: We want to use Jesus' kingly power to do what we want, to fulfill our desires, to make our expectations come into reality.
But that's just not how it works. Jesus is king. And Jesus does what Jesus wants to do.
Luckily for us we catch a really strong glimpse of what's central to Jesus in the Bible. In 2 Corinthians 5.19 Paul tells us what Jesus wants to use his kingly power for — to reconcile all things to himself and to commit to us this same task.
So instead of pushing for Jesus to accomplish what we want, why don't we instead accomplish what he wants!? Why don't we join him in his will to make all things right!
What do you think? How do our expectations play out in our relationships with Jesus? Let me know in the comments below!

Ties between Judaism, basketball run deep in Houston
Celebrating Hanukkah and shooting hoops
Ties between Judaism and the game run deep
Published 6:30 am, Sunday, December 5, 2010
Before televised games, multimillion-dollar deals and nationally known stars like Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, pro basketball had Dolph Schayes, Nat Holman and Ossie Schectman, who scored the NBA's first basket.
Like many of the league's early players, they were Jewish.
The religious group's historical connection to basketball continues today, with courtside Hanukkah celebrations. Hundreds of Jews in Houston are expected to attend events like a menorah-lighting at Tuesday's Rockets game and a holiday-themed dunking showcase.
"Basketball is a part of the Jewish community," said Gillian Richter, the coordinator of children's programs at the Houston Jewish Community Center.
The JCC will host an acrobatic basketball performance called Hanukkah Miracle Madness today, the fifth night of the festival of lights. The center also runs basketball leagues for about 250 kids and adults each year, giving them a space to play and working around religious school schedules and weekly shabbat restrictions.
Basketball may have been invented at a YMCA, but it's long been a staple at the JCC.
"The original JCC was actually formed because Jewish men couldn't find a place to play basketball. It started essentially as a Jewish gym," said Eric Bishop, director of youth sports at the JCC in Meyerland.
In the early 20th century, Jews living in New York's Lower East Side picked up the game just like today's urban youngsters. They played in empty lots. They made makeshift hoops. They were rebellious. For children of Jewish immigrants living in the inner-city, it was their way to assimilate into American culture.
Fighting stereotypes
The rough-and-tumble street play led to amateur leagues through settlement houses, neighborhood groups and community centers. Early on, Jewish players had starting spots on college teams, most famously at the City College of New York, on neighborhood semi-pro teams and in the first professional leagues. In 1946, five of the original New York Knicks (then called by their full name, the "Knickerbockers") were Jewish.
David Vyorst, a Jewish basketball expert, told the story of the game in his documentary, The First Basket, which screened at the Houston JCC earlier this year.
"Most people are, in fact, surprised when I tell them about this," he said. "American Jewish values are much more focused on intellectual endeavors. 'What are you playing basketball for? You should be studying Torah!' or now, 'You should be a doctor.' "
Vyorst acknowledged the stereotypes and anti-Semitism that surrounded Jewish players back then and can continue in the 21st century.
"There are many Jews who are bookish; there are many Jews who are athletic," he said. Still, Vyorst said there is something about basketball, something "metaphysical" he can't quite explain that appeals to the Jewish community.
Rabbi Dovid Goldstein, a Chabad chaplain in Houston, first coordinated the Hoops & Hanukkah Night with the Houston Rockets three years ago, based on a similar partnership between the Miami Heat and the Jewish community there.
"The theme of basketball, like any sport, is that you have two teams that are going against each other and the one that plays the best wins, and we have this kind of struggle going on inside us," said Goldstein. "Like Hanukkah, the focus is on being positive and working together."
From a religious perspective, sports like basketball can help people stay healthy, as instructed in scripture, and teach ethical lessons, but that's not really why Goldstein sought out a partnership with the Rockets.
"I had been thinking of another creative way to spread the message of Hanukkah," he said. The local Chabad group holds a party and does a menorah-lighting demonstration before the game. They've had at least 300 people come each year.
A game of teamwork
They rarely see Jewish players on the courts at NBA games, though, unlike in the '40s and '50s. Basketball remains an inner-city sport, and as Jews spread to the suburbs and the league grew and evolved, Jewish players lost their dominance. (They aren't all gone: In the NBA today, there's Jordan Farmar, who plays for the New Jersey Nets, and Amar'e Stoudemire, a recent convert to the faith who plays for the New York Knicks, as well as a few others.)
Fans who remember the heyday of Jewish players, especially 12-time NBA All-Star Dolph Schayes who played from 1948 to 1964, can now reminisce online: This week, Tablet Magazine teamed up with basketball blog FreeDarko to honor Jewish-American players in an interactive all-Jewish fantasy game. On their site, you can choose a Jewish player for each position and a coach and see how your squad fares.
When it comes down to it, Vyorst said that's what it's all about: the Jewish mindset of teamwork.
"It's a team game, and we think as a team," Vyorst said. "What's that Hillel quote? 'The rest is commentary.' "

Chapter Four:
Aidan's POV:
That was a good stroke of luck I got with her guessing my name correctly. I thought I was going to be named Demon or Prince or something stupid like that.
We exited the bathroom and she showed me around the house. It was heaven just to listen to her voice. Cadence Demarice. Just saying it and picturing her gave me shivers down my spine.
"Alrighty! Well, I'm hungry and haven't had anything to eat. What about you? Are you hungry?" Cadence asked me.
I was extremely hunger and made it known by giving a soft bark and wagging my tail enthusiastically. She just laughed at my excitement and led the way into the kitchen, shaking her hips in a natural strut. What a nice view that was.
"Well, tonight I guess I'll have some Ramen Noodle Soup and you can have a raw steak. Sounds good?" Cadence started getting the steak out from the freezer and put it in the microwave.
I barked in confirmation. When I heard the ding I saw Cadence searching in the cabinets for a plate before setting the food before me, then started making her noodles. I tore into the meat, quickly ravishing all of the food.
I felt like I hadn't eaten in days- which in fact, I haven't- and saw her looking bemusedly at me.
"Messy eater, huh?" Cadence giggled. I loved the sound.
I ducked my head, ashamed that I acted like such a pig in front of her. I groaned. I'm such a doofus! I feel like a child with a crush on his teacher.
Cadence cocked her head to the side. "It's as if you can understand every word I say. You're a strange one, aren't you? I heard wolves were some of the most intelligent creatures, but this is amazing..." she said, pondering the possibility I understood her- which I did.
Dang, I have to start acting more like an animal! She starting to get suspicious...isn't she? I mean she hasn't really said anything more than it's strange, and she's acting like she can accept it just as that. I don't really have to act differently, do I?
Who am I kidding? I actually do want her to suspect something so I can be around her in human form! She seems to like me as a wolf, so wouldn't she like me as a man, too?
Wait! Am I really thinking something like that? It's too dangerous! Bad Aidan! Bad! Bad!
I am perfectly capable of just being her pet wolf until I heal. Then, I'll leave. I will not put her in danger by being with her romantically. If the pack saw me with her and saw I care about her, they would hurt her to torture me.
Nope. I am perfectly fine with just being her pet.
The home phone rang, disturbing the quietness of the house, and she jumped. I chuckled to myself. She answered it and a smile broke out on her face. I listened to the conversation, curious as to her reaction.
"Heya, Babe. How are you?" said a deep- infuriatingly flirty- male voice. I growled, unable to control it. Luckily, though, she didn't seem to notice.
"I'm fine, Drew. How's the vacation?" Cadence asked.
"It would be better if you were with me, but it's going well. Anything happen within the week I've been gone? Any new guys trying to take my spot with you?" the jerk asked. What does he mean his spot? She obviously wasn't interested, even if she was blushing and smiling.
"Not since you called last night. Wait a minute...there was one guy..." she teased while laughing.
"HA. HA. Very funny, Babe. You do know that if you ever wanted to go out with me all you'd have to do is call, and I would be there in a second? Vacation, or no vacation, I would run there if I had to." His voice had gotten softer and took on a caring tone. I growled a little more. Like she would go out with him when she's busy at home with me. With me at home, she wouldn't have time for another guy.
"You know my rule. I don't date fellow workers. I've told you that before, you dork." HA! What now!
"You've got to give me props for trying. I'll keep trying, too," he said. I was really starting to hate this guy.
"Alright. Well you should get back to your vacation...bye, Drew." Cadence said in an exasperated tone. It made me feel smug, and I suppressed a smirk.
"Bye, Babe. I'll call tomorrow."
Cadence just smiled and hung up the phone. She then went upstairs to get ready for bed. I followed her up as she brushed her teeth and took off her clothes, wearing only a tank-top and red, lacy boy shorts.
I closed my eyes to try and calm myself from the sight of her. That is, until I heard her whistle and pat the bed. I slowly opened my eyes and groaned, internally. I wanted her so bad!
Being just her pet...is going to be a whole lot harder than I thought.
Sorry for the late update! Please tell me how you like the chapter, and what you'd like to happen. Who knows, maybe it'll come true? :)
Guys Are Such Dogs! Or Should I Say Wolves?Romance
ON HIATUS UNTIL SUMMER!!! Aidan Karson didn't mean to find his soulmate! Honest! Not when he was on the run from his former pack. But he did. And he fell hard. The only problem is............. is he's her pet wolf. Cadence Demarice was just a no...

Products identify color-vision deficiency and color discrimination.
PIA/GATF is now making available the Hardy, Rand, and Rittler (HRR) Pseudosiochromatic Test as well as the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test. These color-vision testing products aid in the identification of color-vision deficiency and color discrimination, respectively.
The HRR Pseudosiochromatic Test is a test for identifying color-vision deficiency and provides a comprehensive evaluation of color-vision deficiency; it can be administered quickly and does not allow for easy memorization. The test includes a series of 24 plates, a brush for tracing shapes, instructions for proper testing, and scoring details to determine the type of color vision deficiency (eg, red-green or yellow-blue). Price: $295.
The Farnsworth-Munsell Test is useful in measuring acute color-vision discrimination and classifying those with normal color vision into above-average, average, and poor hue discrimination. The test consists of four sets of colored chips that must be arranged in an orderly progression of hue. The test is scored by revealing the differences between the observer's arrangement of the chips and the proper order; any variations will show the inability to discriminate specific hues. Price: $970.

Progress for Gay Rights, Because Obama Said So
We've had a few days now to ponder the significance of President Barack Obama's "Stonewall" moment in his second inaugural address. It was rousing oratory, but does it matter?
In a speech largely devoted to Obama's vision of a just society, the president elevated the 1969 uprising at the Stonewall gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village to the civic pantheon alongside the 1848 women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York (likewise elevated) and the civil rights marches across Selma's Edmund Pettis Bridge en route to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965.
"Our journey is not complete," Obama said, "until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law -- for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
The rhetoric might not have surprised those who contend that the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. American society has been moving rapidly toward full acceptance of gay people, and now gay marriage, in recent years -- with and without the president. Obama's words will have limited impact on gay marriage litigation currently in the courts, or on legislation in the states. In a nation with a healthy disdain for politicians and their words, what does a presidential paragraph amount to?
No one person embodies the American nation, just as no one event encompasses the American state. But the presidency exerts gravity beyond its constitutional powers. And grand state occasions, such as a presidential inauguration, convey and shape American ideals from one era to the next.
For all our nonchalance, Americans study what their presidents say on such occasions, and future presidents reprise those utterances and the thoughts that informed them, for new purposes. Obama's full embrace of gay rights is not yet the law of the land. But his inaugural rhetoric fixed gay rights in the national landscape so firmly that they can never be uprooted.
The concept of gay marriage has a different hold in the U.S. today for a plain reason: The president said so.
Obama, whose political caution left his seat aboard the gay marriage bandwagon too long vacant, already appears to have succeeded in changing attitudes among some core supporters. In a 2010 Pew Research Center poll, a plurality of Hispanics opposed gay marriage while black voters opposed it overwhelmingly, by a two-to-one margin. Yet just two years later, following Obama's endorsement of gay marriage during his re-election campaign, November exit polls revealed that a majority of both groups had joined him in supporting it.
The remarkable turnaround in that corner of public opinion suggests the power of Obama to influence his base voters, in particular. But it also highlights the inherent power of political leaders in general to shape the political environment -- and to lead. Obama's full-throated support has helped regularize what to many once seemed radical. Legal strictures and prejudice will continue to fall away as other leaders, other voices, add to the force that pulls the arc that shapes our history.
Politicians sometimes lead a crowd, sometimes follow. But by their unique station, taking advantage of official public platforms, they can do much to solidify emerging social norms. Gay rights are here -- but not all of them; gay marriage is still in transit. Political leaders in Washington and state capitals across the land have the capacity to bring it home. It's easy. All they have to do is speak.

Looks like Palin mentioning ethanol subsidies in Iowa a couple days ago wasn't a sign of her going "rogue."
In any event, here's more from Politico:
"On the subject of ethanol, my friends, I will open every market in the world to the best products in the world, and that's the American agricultural farmer and worker,†said McCain at a rally at the University of Northern Iowa attended by about 2,600 people.
The remark was a shift in tone, though not in policy, from McCain, who has long been a staunch opponent of federal corn ethanol subsidies — a position that hasn't helped him win votes in the Iowa agricultural belt.
In 2003, McCain told Fortune magazine that "ethanol is a product that would not exist if Congress didn't create an artificial market for it. No one would be willing to buy it.†He said in he doubted ethanol would reduce fuel consumption, improve air quality or do much to increase energy independence.
This is a BIG break from his past policies, and one I don't think he had to make. Iowa is COMPLETELY out of reach for McCain in this election cycle.
However, I disagree with Politico about it not being a policy shift. It is. Because if McCain embraces supporting ethanol, he's in favor of subsidies. Because he was right that it's a completely false market. So he can't have it both ways.

The Jordan Clean Energy Investment Policy Review is a country-specific application of the OECD Policy Guidance for Investment in Clean Energy Infrastructure. It aims to help Jordanian policy makers strengthen the enabling conditions for investment in renewable electricity generation in Jordan. The Policy Guidance is a non-prescriptive tool to help governments identify ways to mobilise private sector investment in clean energy infrastructure, especially in renewable electricity generation. The Policy Guidance was jointly developed by the OECD Working Party on Climate, Investment and Development (WPCID) of the Environment Policy Committee (EPOC) and the OECD Investment Committee, jointly with the Global Relations Secretariat (GRS). It benefited from significant inputs of the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Policy Guidance was annexed to the Communiqué of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors at their meeting on 10-11 October 2013.
This Investment Policy Review examines Jordan's achievements in developing an open and transparent investment regime and its efforts to reduce restrictions on international investment.
Secretary-General Angel Gurría discusses the efforts of the OECD to support Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia and other MENA countries to restore investor confidence, tackle unemployment and foster policy conditions for strong, sustainable and balanced growth.
The MENA-OECD Investment Programme seeks to mobilise investment—foreign, regional and domestic—as a driving force for growth, stability and prosperity throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This programme is part of the MENA-OECD Initiative on Governance and Investment for Development (www.oecd.org/mena).

Illustration has been one of the most effective mediums of storytelling throughout history. Whether they be prehistoric wall paintings, Renaissance frescoes or 20th century comics, pictures derive their effectiveness from their power of stimulating senses.
Aside from comics, illustrations also go hand in glove in visualizing short stories, from their inception by writers like Edgar Allan Poe until today.
But this symbiotic relationship is rife with irony, because while readers are likely to notice pictures before they see the written word, they are more likely to be familiar with stories' writers instead of illustrators.
The Bentara Budaya cultural center seeks to give illustrators their due in an exhibition titled "Pameran Ilustrasi Cerpen Kompas 2013" ("The 2013 Kompas Short Story Illustration Exhibition"), showing 48 illustrations from 48 short stories published in Kompas newspaper last year.
This year's exhibit, held alongside the paper's short story awards, had as a highlight artist Amrizal Salayan's illustration for writer Budi Darma's work "Laki-Laki Pemanggul Goni" ("The Man Carrying the Gunny Bag"). Published in February 2012, the tale was named best short story by a panel of Kompas editors.
"The outstretched hand [in 'Laki-Laki Pemanggul Goni'] seems to portray the character's piety and resignation," said exhibition curator Putu Fajar Arcana.
"The picture portrays the contrast between the main character's religious piety and the effects of those beliefs on others. This is reflected by his recurring vision of a man carrying a gunny bag."
Amrizal's stark yet striking imagery of the outstretched palm seems to convey the guilt and emotional vacuum of the main character. The grime on his hand, and the deeply etched lines of his palm also seemed to show the toll these feelings took on the character. The story and illustration perhaps capture the pitfalls of using one's beliefs as a shield against guilt.
In contrast, Amrizal's other work "Tangan-Tangan Buntung" ("Amputated Hands"), lacks the meditative, contemplative tone of "Laki-Laki Pemanggul Goni." The work, a satire on the lack of accountability among Indonesia's leaders, makes its point with the grotesque portrayal of the main character by artist Ipong Purnama Sidhi.
The portrait, which is drawn in bright, garish colors, seemed to convey the corrupting influence of power. The theme resonates in Indonesia due to the culture of impunity enjoyed by many of the country's politicians today and in other eras of history, including the late President Suharto's 32-year New Order regime.
"The illustrations can capture the essence of the tale because the writers' vivid imagination is based on the visual arts," Putu said.
In Susilo Budi Purwanto's painting for "Renjana," a short story by Dwicipta, the artist uses a surrealist touch worthy of Salvador Dali to flesh out the main character's struggle.
By turning his back on the viewer, the painting's subject seems to reflect the main character's determination to hold on to his yClick here to read the original articleouthful idealism, despite his current circumstances. But the grasping hands shooting out of the subject's back seem to represent his unwillingness to move on from the past.
In contrast, Koxis Verserken's illustration for Agus Noor's short story "Requiem Kunang-Kunang" ("Firefly Requiem") uses simple illustration evoking the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus.
However, the homely image belies the double entendre in the title, namely the use of fireflies as a symbol of destruction left by ambition and sectarian conflict. Agus derived inspiration for the story from the sectarian conflict raging in Ambon, Maluku, in the early 2000s.
The exhibition features short story illustrations primarily from 2012, but also showcases some dating back as far as 2003 — the first year the event was held.

text: Dear Colleagues, We are in need of a reliable system for large-scale PCR (>1000 samples run). We are currently testing the Intelligent Automation Thermocycler- TC1600 (16 x 192 format). I would appreciate any advice from users of this instrument as to how they like it. Our primary use of the machine is for STS content mapping of YAC/P1 libraries and SSLP typing on recombinant inbred populations. However, I would be very interested if anyone has experience using the TC1600 for cycle sequencing. I would also be interested in hearing from anyone using a robotic cycler for the above tasks. I've seen a recent review of the Sanger Center conference on automation that describes several machines. However, I'm looking for an instrument that is currently available commercially. Thanks in advance, Joe Ecker ----- End Included Message -----

Eagles go 3-1 in Decatur Tournament
Published 7:21 am, Thursday, December 19, 2013
Canyon's Eagles basketball team headed down U.S. 287 to Decatur over the weekend and returned home with three wins and a loss. The weekend's results improved Canyon's record for the season to 10-4.
Canyon opened tournament play Thursday with a 58-48 loss to tournament host, Decatur.
"We lost to a good team," Eagles head coach Guy Crenshaw said Monday.
Trailing 23-11 at halftime, the Eagles made a rally to lead Decatur 37-35 in the second half, but it wasn't enough to overcome their deficit.
Jacob Relyea led Canyon scorers with 16 points. Dylan Douglass tallied a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Brett Weaver and Aaron Hughes added eight points apiece. Weaver made four steals during the game, with six of his points coming on two three-pointers.
Canyon's fortunes improved on Friday the 13th, with two wins. The morning game was a 56-47 victory over Alvord. After trailing 16-12 at the end of the first quarter, the Eagles came back to take the 25-23 lead at halftime. They went on to outscore Alvord in each of the last two periods. Both Douglass and Hughes recorded double-doubles in the game. Hughes led in scoring with 18 points, adding 10 rebounds. Douglass had 15 points and 13 rebounds. Relyea also scored in double digits with 12 points. Cody Price at six points and five rebounds for the outing. Weaver scored four points and had four steals and three rebounds.
Friday afternoon's game was a low-scoring squeaker, with Canyon pulling out the 38-35 victory over Ponder. After clinging to a narrow lead through most of the game, the score was knotted at 27-27 going into the final eight minutes. Outscoring Ponder 11-8 in the final quarter, Canyon took their second win of the tournament.
Douglass racked up another double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. While he was the only Eagle in double digits scoring, Hughes had seven points and Relyea added six. Hughes added seven rebounds with Price adding six more. Douglass had three steals in the game with Price, Relyea and Hughes each adding one.
In Saturday's concluding game for Canyon, the Eagles met Denton Ryan in another low-scoring game and took the 40-33 victory. After trailing 7-5 in a low-scoring first quarter, the Eagles captured the lead in the second period for a 13-11 edge at halftime. Then they hung on for the win.
Relyea was the leading scorer for Canyon with 12 points, the only Eagle in double figures. Price, who scored eight points, was the leading rebounder with six. Hughes also scored eight points and joined Douglass with five rebounds. Douglass scored six points and had a steal before fouling out. Weaver scored five points, had three assists and a steal and pulled down two rebounds.
Weaver was named to the all-tournament team.
The Eagles were scheduled to host Hereford's Hostile Herd Tuesday evening and will next see action in the Amarillo Tournament on Dec. 26-28. They will travel to Lubbock Monterey for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off on Jan. 3.

Meat Quality- I don't know how I can tell from reading the label?(23 Posts)
Apologies if this seems a stupid question but I am unsure how I can tell the quality of meat (and meat products) from the label?
I know the real basics: that organic meat comes from animals reared with less chemicals; free range hens have better living conditions but that is about it.
I've begun shopping in Aldi recently, but I've avoided buying their meat. I'm assuming that because it's cheap, it's poor quality, but I'm not sure how to find out whether that is actually the case.
I was quite tempted by Aldi's schnitzel but I was worried it would be one of those things made up from all the 'bits' of the animal that are left over- but I don't know how I can find this type of information? Same goes for sausages and burgers?
I would love to know more about this, can anyone help please?
If you look on the back the meat should have a percentage beside it, that will tell you how high the meat content actually is. I'm afraid something like a schnitzel probably is made up of all the ropey stuff though, they don't have to state what the meat is. The cheaper a product is the more likely it is to have substandard meat or meat subsidiaries I. Sorry.
Basically the cheaper the meat the worse condition it has been reared in. Although you should bear in mind that you can't intensively farm beef or lamb so that's always going to be a higher quality than cheap chicken or pork. Hope that helps.
On processed products you need to check the ingredients for added water, its often used to bulk out cheap meat particularly in chicken and pork products.
Sausages and burgers look for meat content. When you compare a value range to a premium range you'll be amazed at the difference.
Anything that isn't a 'cut' of meat, is processed. Some food uses mechanically removed meat.
I don't eat it very often, however I am partial to a waitrose chicken kiev occasionally!
Also 'formed' ham is processed too.
In general, if it's been "reshaped" like I assume a schnitzel has, and doesn't say anything much about what it's made from, you can assume it's going to be the cheaper parts of the animal.
But is that such a big deal? Isn't it better to use up all of an animal rather than just the prime cuts? The meat isn't automatically "better for you" because it's a prime steak rather than minced up bits and pieces.
Some meat products will also have things like the fat content, and that gives you information which is relevant, as you don't want to eat high quantities of meat fat all the time. Burgers and sausages tend to have that information, but I'm not sure what the law is on labelling for other meat products.
its very difficult is the answer. I have given in and now eat less meat and the stuff I do eat is from our local butcher (however, a good butcher who can tell you where the meat is from is rare) or Farmers Choice (an online shop www.farmerschoice.co.uk/).
The biggest problem I have is when eating out tbh. And stuff for packed lunches.
Sorry to be so difficult, but one useful tip is to look for stuff that is British in origin as we have quite high welfare and safety standards compared to the rest of the EU. It's not perfect, but it is a little bit better.
For beef, look for deep red rather than pink, with some fat marbling.
For products containing meat such as pies or sausages, look for any of the words "mechanically recovered tapioca reformed" and fling them as far away as you can.
A lot of Aldi sausage-like products are made to german standards and far superior to British ones. They have a thing called Bockwurst in a tall glass jar that is twenty times better than hot dog sausages.
Thank you for your answers. They are really helpful.
Amuminscotland your point about using up all the bits of an animal in interesting, and I guess that you are right that the 'odd' bits are not necessarily any worse for you than the more conventionally used stuff.
But I do think that the type of product that uses the 'odd bits' is more likely to be a 'mechanically recovered meat' type product. Which I assume is to be avoided (as suggested by Pigletjohn).
I wonder if all mechanically recovered meat has to state this on its packaging? The schnitzels I looked at in Aldi didn't state anything along these lines. In fact there was no ingredients list- just a percentage of meat (I can't remember what the number was).
no, for example pork pies have a lot minced-up of pigs' heads in them, but not MRM (it's the crushed bone, I'm told, that absorbs the juice, so cheap pork pies don't have jelly in them now)
however some meat pies (not, I think, the Fray Bentos ones) and "stewed steak" are made of lumps of MRM glued together.
I presume that the minced-up ears, ovaries and scrotums end up in sausages. If you see the word "rind" it means minced-up skin.
It's enough to make you turn veggie.
if you look at the ingredients list for a British sausage it will say something like
Pork (42%)
Rusk (=bread)
Pork fat
Wheat starch
If you look at the ingredients list of a German sausage it will say something like
Pork (100%)
Aldi sell a lot of German sausages
I undersytand that British sausages cannot be sold in most European countries as they fall way below the quality standards
I've just got a pack of Aldi Weinerschnitzel out of the freezer to look at for you. They're 80% pork and nowhere does it say that it is derived from MRM.
They're actually pretty good, and appear to be a pork chop beaten and flattened (like you'd do with a meat hammer) and then coated. You can clearly see the grain of the meat when you cut into it so it's not made from reformed meat either.
I'm generally fussy about what meat I buy but these are a handy freezer item. Their free range chickens are very good value and tasty too.
my sainsburys british sausages are 90%
90%? I'm amazed. What does the ingredients list say?
I can find out for you this evening. You can get high meat percentage sausages you know. It's just you need to check/pay lots. Plus sausages do need rusk/flavourings to hold together. Why are you so obsessed with German sausage
Pork (95%), Breadcrumbs (Wheatflour, Salt, Yeast), Salt, White Pepper, Dried Onion, Preservative: Sodium Metabisulphite, Nutmeg, Sage, Coriander, Antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid. Filled into natural pork casings.
Meat content 95%.
really good. I must try some. Thanks.
the one in your link is called "Butchers Choice" and says
Pork (72%), Water, Rusk (Wheat Flour), Dextrose, Salt, Yeast Extract, Spices, Stabilisers: Diphosphates; Herbs, Preservative: Sodium Metabisulphite; Antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid. Filled into pork collagen casings
Are you looking at a different one?
Yes I am looking at a different one. Wierd. I was looking at Sainsbury's Ultimate Outdoor Bred Pork Sausages, Taste the Difference. And that is the link at the top. Wierd.
Depends what your priorities are. The Aldi pork sausages will be made from pigs kept in cages - it's a pretty pleasant way to house an animal - buy British, the welfare standards are higher, pigs are treated in much more humane ways.
One thing I find a tad confusing....chefs bleat on about nose to tail eating and then get all uppity about mechanically recovered meat - how do they differ? Both are using as much of the animal as possible - one is trendy in an old fashioned way and the other looks unpleasant and is cheap but realistically is there a difference?
@tellme good question! I think it is to do with the use of water and ammonia in the process, which both stay in the meat. Not sure though.
MRM is a slurry of particles that is blasted off the bones with a power water jet, then this "mud" is glued together into chunks that hold together and look like pieces of meat when cooked in a pie but have no texture.
In this months Good Food magazine, Aldi's Ultima sausages came up first in a blind test. They are 90% meat, apparently.

China's Southern Provinces Face Rain, Snow as Temperatures Rise
China's weather agency called for southern parts of the country to prepare for widespread rain and snow as temperatures in the north, which had fallen to as low as negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit, began to climb.
Precipitation was forecast for the Yangtze Delta region around Shanghai, portions of Yunnan province and other parts of southern China, the China Meteorological Administration said in an e-mailed statement. Rain and snow in these areas may spread and intensify from tomorrow, it said.
Preparations should be made to protect against the effects of the weather on transportation and agriculture, the weather agency said. Freezing temperatures and snowfall in northern China in the past week had blocked expressways in Xinjiang, prompted officials to urge cities to conserve heating and killed two tourists stranded on a mountain near Beijing.
Temperatures have since begun to rise, increasing by 8 to 15 degrees Celsius yesterday in the provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, the meteorological administration said.
Portions of Xinjiang, China's westernmost province, were forecast again to see blizzards today, it said. Some northern parts of the province have seen as much as 1.5 meters of snowfall in the past few days, the agency said.
Rainfall is forecast tomorrow for Nanning, capital of Guangxi province, and for Changsha, capital of Hunan province. Shanghai was also forecast to see showers, according to the weather agency's National Meteorological Center. Rain wasn't forecast for the cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong province.

The Des Moines Register reports in "Legislative Funnel: What's Dead" (2010-02-05):
"Naturopathic Doctors: Would have allowed for the licensing of naturopathic physicians. SF 2262."
Note: apparently, this was the proposal, in part:
"a naturopathic physician licensed under chapter 154G may use the words 'naturopathic physician' or the initials 'N.D.' or 'N.M.D.' after the person's name [...] 'naturopathic medicine' means a system of primary health care for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human health conditions, injury, and disease; the promotion or restoration of health; and the support and stimulation of a patient's inherent self-healing processes [coded vitalism!!!] through patient education and the use of naturopathic therapies and therapeutic substances."
Fascinating, the bill itself wasn't even transparently communicating naturopathy's actual science-ejected sectarian premise of vitalism. Yet, it labeled naturopathy 'of professional ethical status'. Absurd.

On June 8, 2016 two Palestinian Arabs murdered four Israelis and wounded sixteen others in a terrorist attack in a Tel Aviv shopping center called Sarona Market. Shortly after, more than a few Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) celebrated the carnagea fact which most news media neglected.
The terror attacks themselves did received considerable coverage. As CAMERA has noted (Yahoo News, Russia Today, Misreport Tel Aviv Terror Attack, June 8, 2016), some reporting falsely implied that militants targeted Israel's defense ministry. The Independent's (U.K) initial coverage avoided any mention of the perpetrators as Palestinian Arabs or the victims as Israelis or Jews. CNN (Cable News Network) initially put the word terrorist in quotation marks, as if the killers' motivation was in doubt. The network later corrected.
Yet, with several exceptions, even generally specific reports omitted that the attack was glorified by many Palestinian Arabs. A Lexis-Nexis search of U.S. print news outlets including The Washington Post, The New York Times, USA Today, The Baltimore Sun, The Los Angeles Times, among others, failed to show examples of Palestinian celebrations.
Some, such as The Washington Post and The Baltimore Sun, noted an Associated Press report that Hamasthe U.S. designated terror group that rules the Gaza Strippraised the attack as a heroic operation. No additional details were provided and the full scope of Palestinian jubilation was not reported. However, such information was available.
In an interview with Fox News on the night of the attack, Israeli Police Superintendent Micky Rosenfeld said, Unfortunately, within the West Bank area we have seen Palestinians celebrating this attack. Meanwhile here in Israel
we will be mourning for a week over the people that were lostand we are talking about four innocent people that were shot to death, literally shot and killed at close range for no reason whatsoever.
Similarly, The Jerusalem Post reported:
Upon hearing the reports of the shooting, dozens of Palestinians gathered at Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem, singing out loud and cheered the gunmen. In the West Bank city of Tulkarm, many young men took to the streets and distributed candies to the local drivers, while in the Dheiseh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem dozens of Palestinians participated in a march praising the terror attack (Palestinians celebrate terror attack in Tel Aviv, Saudis strongly condemn, June 9, 2016).
Palestinian praise for the murderers extended online. The Jerusalem Post pointed to the hashtags #Carlo Bullet,' after the name of the improvised submachine gun used in the attack, and #Ramadan Operation' to laud the horrendous terror shooting. Another popular hashtag was #We broke the fast killing themreferring to the fact that before the attack, the two terrorists broke their fast for the Muslim holiday of Ramadan.
Salma al-Jamal, a Palestinian news anchor for Al-Jazeera TV tweeted, The Ramadan operation that took place today is the best answer to stories we have been hearing about peace process' that some people are trying in vain to revive.
The Times of Israel reported that Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri falsely blamed Israeli desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque and the crimes against the Palestinian people. CAMERA has previously noted (see, for example Incitement over Temple Mount Leads to Palestinian Violence, Again, Sept. 16, 2015) that Palestinian officials frequently use claims of imagined threats to the al-Aqsa mosquewhich is located on Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mountto incite anti-Jewish violence.
Echoing Hamas, the Fatah movement, which is headed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, released a statement via Twitter saying Israel was, reaping the repercussions of choosing violence against the Palestinian people.
Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), a non-profit organization which monitors Arab media in eastern Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, noted that in his official statement Abbas expressed opposition to any operation that harms civilians by anybody regardless of the justifications. However, PMW pointed out that the PA leader didn't condemn killing Israelis. Abbas' failure to condemn specifically the Tel Aviv murders was, as of late June 9, omitted from media coverage.
News media failure to report Palestinian celebrations of terrorist attacks is not new.
Writing about the aftermath of the Sept. 11 2001 assaults by al-Qaeda, Middle East historian Efraim Karsh noted: In the wake of the September 11 atrocity, mass celebrations were held in Palestinian towns and cities. The incidents were far from isolated and sparsely attended as reported later by Palestinian apologists. Thousands of people took to the streets, chanting Allah Akbar (God is Great), distributing candies to passersby, and shooting guns in the air to express their delight. To keep these disturbing scenes from world attention, PA security forces confiscated filmed footage and intimidate foreign journalists, news agencies, and television networks. In Gaza, Palestinian policemen detained cameramen who had filmed a Hamas demonstration in which Palestinians carried pictures of [al-Qaeda leader] Osama bin Laden (Arafat's War, 2003, Grove Press).
Journalism requires answers to six basic questions: who, what, when, where, why and how? Coverage of the Tel Aviv murders too often avoided reporting who, what and why.

Bush Applauds Great Lakes Compact
U.S. President George W. Bush congratulated the governors and legislatures of the eight Great Lakes states Tuesday for approving a conservation agreement.
The states that border the Great Lakes -- Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- approved and sent to Congress the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact. The accord, also approved by two Canadian provinces, restricts the diversion of water from the Great Lakes watershed.The five lakes comprise more than 20 percent of the world's surface fresh water.
The Great Lakes are a national treasure, the president said in a statement. "They were vital to the exploration of this continent and have long supported commerce. Today, more than 33 million people live in the States and Provinces bordering the lakes, and the lakes provide an efficient means to transport food and other commodities destined for global markets.
The Compact will ensure sustainable use and responsible management of waters from the Great Lakes Basin and preserve the Great Lakes for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations, said Bush. I strongly urge Congress to provide rapid approval of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact.

Hi Peter,
You could try contacting Steve Eather who is curator at the Qantas Founders Museum at Longreach. He has just recently helped me out with a most obscure request, so you never know. Contact him on 0746583737 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Steve proved to be a really helpful and friendly guy.

Contrary, imho itis good that tracehook hides the (simple) details. I do not understandwhy the reader of, say, do_fork() should see the contents oftracehook_report_clone_complete(). This will complicate the understanding.Those people who want to understand/change fork() do not care aboututrace/ptrace usually.And please note that it is much, much easier to change this codewhen it lives in tracehooks.h instead of sched.c/signal.c/etc.> > What is the point?>> Less code obfuscation.>> When it's a utrace call, call it a utrace call, not something else.Why do you think this is obfuscation? Well, we can rename thesehelpers, s/tracehook_/utrace_/, but I don't see how this can makethe code more readable.Oleg.

Kim Kardashian has big plans for her holiday greeting cards next year, and they involve husband-to-be Kanye West.
The reality TV star and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family have made a tradition of having a special photo taken for their Christmas cards, and this year recruited music video director and photographer David LaChapelle to shoot them in a carnival-themed room full of neon lights and pop art.
Kardashian has revealed she plans to carry on the tradition with West and their daughter North next year and is already thinking of concepts for the festive picture.
Asked during a Mobio Insider question and answer session if the Stronger rapper would be appearing on a seasonal greeting card, Kardashian replied, "This year we got some good ideas and (are) gonna (going to) brainstorm for next year, tradition is everything. This family card was so fun."

British Open champion Ernie Els has signed a deal with IMG, the agency that formerly represented the South African nearly a decade ago.
A statement released Tuesday by IMG indicates that Els' current management team at Florida-based Pros Inc. will 'be moved' to IMG and that his new firm will work closely with his existing staff, including Phil Cotton.
'We are delighted to be working with Ernie and his team,' said IMG's Guy Kinnings. 'IMG is ideally placed to showcase both what Ernie has achieved and to assist with the exciting times ahead.'
Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2011, the 43-year-old Els experienced a resurgence this year, culminating with his fourth career major victory at Royal Lytham in July.
'IMG has a global network of offices, loads of experienced and dedicated golf staff operating in every aspect of the game,' Els explained. 'So really (IMG) is best equipped to help me achieve everything I want to do on and off the course.'
The former world No. 1 has a variety of interests outside the ropes, ranging from golf course design work to a growing wine business to his longstanding charity work with Els for Autism. He previously left IMG in 2005 to join ISM, led by Chubby Chandler, and left ISM in 2011 to join Pros Inc.

Houston could leave United
Dundee United manager Peter Houston has revealed he could leave the club at the end of the season.
Houston led the Tangerines to Scottish Cup glory in May 2010, only months after succeeding Craig Levein, who he also assists at international level. He also managed to keep them in the top four in the table in his first full season in charge.
"There is nothing on the table for me," Houston told BBC Scotland. "A lot of people have been asking me why I haven't signed a new deal: because I haven't been offered one basically.
"If it's to be the end of May when I move on from here then I'll look back with fond memories," he added. "There might be an offer put on the table for me, I don't know."

Orioles' Path to the Postseason: Sept. 14, 2012
The O's ended the night tied atop the American League East with the Yankees, who defeated the Red Sox, 2-0, at Fenway Park.
Baltimore faces a tough weekend series with Oakland, which leads the AL Wild Card race, before going to Seattle and Boston. The Orioles are 13-2 in extra-inning games and 64-0 in games where they led after seven innings. It's a big reason for their success this season.
"We have a great bond together," said Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, who had the walk-off hit in the 14th on Thursday. "We have a great bond. The thing as a team is we do the best we can do. The biggest thing is we're playing as a team and we're staying focused."
Friday's key games to watch (all times ET)
Orioles (Saunders, 8-11) at A's (Milone, 12-10), 10:05 p.m. Preview >

Magic numbers
To calculate a team's magic number, take the number of games it has remaining and add one. Then subtract the difference in the number of losses between that team and its closest pursuer.
Tiebreaker scenarios
A tiebreaker game will be played to determine a division winner, even if the tied clubs are assured of participating in the postseason. If a division championship tiebreaker is necessary, the head-to-head record between the clubs will determine home-field advantage. If the head-to-head record is tied, then the division record will be the next tiebreaker.
If two clubs are tied for the two Wild Card berths, home-field advantage will be determined by the head-to-head record between the clubs. If the head-to-head record is tied, then the division record will be the next tiebreaker.
2012 postseason schedule
Wild Card playoff games: Oct. 5
Division Series: Oct. 6-12
AL Championship Series: Oct. 13-21
NL Championship Series: Oct. 14-22
World Series: Oct. 24-Nov. 1

Govt has not prejudged ICAC: O'Farrell
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell says a mining magnate who has launched legal action against the ICAC commissioner is entitled to do so.
Millionaire Travers Duncan launched a legal challenge in the Supreme Court on Thursday against David Ipp, head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
Mr Duncan is a key witness at an ICAC inquiry into the 2008 decision by former Labor minister Ian Macdonald to grant mining exploration licences in the NSW Hunter region.
"He's entitled to take legal action. That's his right," Mr O'Farrell told reporters in Sydney on Friday.
Mr Duncan was an investor in Cascade Coal, a mining company that bid successfully for one of the licences over land at Mt Penny, in the Bylong Valley, and could be affected by adverse findings made by the ICAC.
Commissioner Ipp said last month at the inquiry that he would respond "as soon as possible" to Mr O'Farrell's request for advice on mining exploration licences in the Hunter.
Mr O'Farrell had written to the ICAC requesting advice on whether there should be any amendments to the mining act and whether the NSW government should commence legal proceedings against individuals or companies.
Mr O'Farrell said he didn't intend to prejudge the inquiry but it was the government's job to protect taxpayers.
"We don't intend to prejudge a commission of inquiry ... Mr Travers is entitled to his action, but we're entitled to put the public interest first and foremost in everything we do," he told reporters.
"I sought appropriate advice from Commissioner Ipp. I received advice from Commissioner Ipp. Commissioner Ipp had made it clear that he had not prejudged or made any formal recommendations.
"The government hasn't prejudged this matter."
Justice Garling has listed the matter for hearing on March 22.

DAVID O'LEARY, the Leeds United manager, last night called on the Football Association to investigate the ugly scenes after Leeds' 2-1 FA Cup third-round defeat at Ninian Park. Referee Andy D'Urso was struck by a missile, Leeds players were hit by bottles, David Batty and Lee Bowyer were threatened by home fans while the visitors' coach was attacked as it tried to leave. "It was getting close to the kind of situation you see at matches in Istanbul," said O'Leary.
Bottles and coins were thrown during the match but the situation worsened when the final whistle confirmed Cardiff's win. About 2,000 Cardiff fans ran on to the pitch and taunted their Leeds counterparts. Order was restored when riot police arrived, using dogs to drive back the Cardiff fans.
As Leeds' players sprinted off, Bowyer had a punch thrown at him while Batty was briefly surrounded. "We could have had someone badly hurt," said O'Leary.
A little later Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale had to stop O'Leary from confronting Cardiff chairman Sam Hammam, whose touchline walk during the match had incensed the Leeds fans.
Cardiff manager Alan Cork defended his supporters saying: "You have to enjoy yourselves when you beat the team who are top of the Premiership."
The FA said last night that they would make no statement until today. The sanctions they could impose range from a fine to ground closure.
