A Call To Discipleship
A Call To Discipleship!
Mark 1:14-1:20
In today's modern-day global society, we have turned many of our churches into practitioners of "consumer religion" - peopled with individuals who say and have the attitude of "What-can-the-church-do-for-me?" instead of "What-can-I-do-for-the church?"
Someone once said, "An athlete was never made by mere instruction. No soldier was ever trained by the mere study of his [or, her] training manual, but by practicing his [or, her] drill. [It is] not the hearers of the Word; but, the doers of the Word, who are justified before [Almighty] God. We must be going forward, not standing still, simply listening and learning. Where our duty is seen [Almighty] God is revealed! Duty, my brothers and sisters, is always the [Divine] Will of [Almighty] God. To see [our duty] and not do it, is the most disastrous thing for the man or woman as well as being an offense against [Almighty] God."
Before we proceed any further, let's examine this word "disciple" for just a few moments, shall we? Tell me, "What is a disciple?" Well, the Greek word from which we derive the word "disciple" can only be found in the "Gospels" and in the "Book of Acts" - and, my brothers and sisters, it refers - primarily - to those individuals who were closely associated with Jesus Christ and becoming like Him!
Jesus Christ commands His disciples to "Follow Him" and learn! A disciple is an individual who has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour; and, has determined to give Him Lordship over his [or, her] life! He [or, she] is a follower - a learner - and, an apprentice or journeyman! Note the title "Christ".
We need to understand that there is a vast difference between coming to Jesus Christ, "FOR" Salvation and coming "AFTER" Jesus Christ, "FOR" service! A Christian "disciple" is an individual who both believes and obeys the challenge - the call - to live a life of obedient service to the Lord God Almighty!
With the call of Jesus Christ, to "Follow Him" came a call to action! He is saying, in effect, 'Come out of your 'Comfort Zones,' there's a job to be done; and, I need you to get it done!' The word "follow" is a powerful word! It literally means "blind obedience" - unwavering, unshakable total commitment - it means absolute sacrificial love - it means devotion to a great cause - in this case, the cause of The Lord - a devotion that brings us outside of ourselves - a devotion that is larger than self!
To follow Him is an extremely serious business - why? Because Jesus is giving a call to discipleship! The two (2) words "Follow Me" indicate that Christ is asking for our complete devotion - He is asking for our complete trust - He is asking for our service - and, He is asking for our loyalty! The words "Follow Me" indicate that He is asking for our lives - our hearts - our souls - our minds - and, our strength! Jesus Christ is asking for a lot, my brothers and sisters; but, then, He is offering and giving a lot in return!
The words "Follow Me" are words to ponder - they are words to meditate upon - they are words to motivate, to challenge, and to inspire - they are words to respond to with faith - with hope - and, with obedience! It would not be the last time that Christ would speak the words "Follow Me" for He has and is constantly asking us to comply to that request! Some have heeded the call; while others, such as the biblical "rich young ruler" would reject His offer!
When He asks us to "Follow Him," He is asking us to deny ourselves - He is asking us to take up our cross - He is asking us to follow Him! Our cross is the fourth cross atop Golgotha's hill - at Calvary - a cross that only becomes visible when we accept Almighty God's free gift of Salvation and do what He asks!
The manner in which the Son of Almighty God lived, would become the pattern of living for all of those who would follow after Him! Each and every Christian "true believer" is given the opportunity to be nurtured by the Word of God; so as to develop into fully grown disciples!
Each and every one of us is expected to achieve our fullest potential for Almighty God! To be all you can be as the Army would put it! Unfortunately, many of us fail to grow - many of us fail to mature - many of us fail to become disciples! It takes a disciple to make a disciple! The problem with many of today's modern-day churches is the fact that we are no longer helping to produce disciples - we are no longer equipping Almighty God's people to be more effective in their service for the Lord God Almighty!
When Christ calls us to "Follow Him," He is calling us to a new direction, He is calling us to a new future; and, He is calling us to a new lifestyle! Let's examine each one of those areas, briefly, shall we?
Firstly, Jesus, the Christ, is calling us to a new direction! When an individual says "follow me," it is an indication that they are going somewhere! Not only that, it is also an indication that the individual wants us to go along with him!
It is an awesome and incredible invitation for each and every one of us - why? Because we all have a need, at times, for a sense of direction in our lives - we all have times when we feel helpless and hopeless! Without Christ we are totally lost but, then, He shows up and invites us to "walk with Him - to walk with Almighty God!"
APPLICATION: This is the rationale for a withreach approach. And it's revolutionary.
1. A large religious publisher asked on a nationwide survey what churches ought to do more of in order to be credible and true to purpose. Among respondents who are active in a church, the predominant answers focused on sharing Christ (and on worship). The predominant answer from non-church attenders: "Do more for the poor and the hungry."
2. Outreach categorizes people as "in" or "out," and targets the ones who are out. We tend to be very skilled at this. We name committees and annual campaigns "outreach," we have "outreach" training, buy "outreach" programs. But few people like to be targeted.
3. What people do respond to, is when we seek to come alongside, connect with them naturally and at a meaningful level, develop community with them, listen for their heart's dream as well as their hurts and needs, discern what God may already have begun within them, and journey with them toward God and toward God's dreams for them and for us.
Jesus, the Christ, is telling us that He will be "a lamp unto our feet," that He will give us a new sense of direction; that He will lead us and guide us through the "jungle wilderness" of life, if we will just "Follow Him!"
Secondly, Jesus, the Christ, is calling us to a new future! An individual who says, "follow me" certainly is an individual who is more interested in the future than in the past! With Jesus, the Christ, as our Guide, it is not where we have been that matters; but, where we are going that matters - It is not whether we have fallen that matters; but, whether we are going to get up and go on that matters; and, it is not whom we have hurt in the past that matters; but, whom we will help in the future that matters!
The great American psychiatrist, Dr. William Glasser (Born: 1925), the founder of "Reality Therapy" does not allow his patients to rummage around in the attic among the relics of the past - he does not allow his patients to don "scuba gear" and go deep sea diving in the "Sea of Forgetfulness!: Every single one of us has a past, we all have "come short of the glory of God!" In "Reality Therapy," the question becomes "What are we going to do about our problem?" "Reality Therapy" is nothing "new under the sun" - it has always been Almighty God's psychiatry!
The "Good News" of Jesus, the Christ, tells us that - if, we are saved - we are no longer to be defeated by the hurts - by the failings - or, by the sins of the past - they can be - and they are - forgiven - never to be remembered again! We can begin anew - we can start over - we can make a new beginning - in Christ Jesus!
Thirdly, as I begin to close, this morning, Jesus, the Christ, is calling us to a new lifestyle! We are being called away from a life of selfishness unto a spirit of Christ-like love! It is the lifestyle of the "Spiritual Rich and Famous" - the lifestyle of a Christian disciple - to live every day in the spirit of self-giving sacrificial love!
The late great African-American theologian, Rev. Dr. Edward Victor ("E.V.") Hill (11 November 1933 - 24 February 2003), former pastor of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, in the Watts section of Los Angeles, California, became the object of hatred when he stood tall - when he stepped up to the plate - when he spoke out against the rioting during the Watts area riots, in the 1960's! He even received a "car bomb" threat - a threat to blow up his car with him in it!
One morning, Rev. Dr. Hill got up and noticed that his automobile was not in the carport and his wife, Jane Edna Hill, was missing. A few minutes later, his wife, entered the house and Rev. Dr. Hill asked her where she had been. She replied, "I drove the car around the block to make sure it would be safe for you to drive it to work this morning!"
That, my brothers and sisters, was "pure love" in action - it is the kind of love that sent Jesus, the Christ, voluntarily to the "Old Rugged Cross" - at Calvary - to die an excruciatingly painful death, by crucifixion, for you and for me - just so that we could be safe in the arms of Almighty God! Tell me, "Is that the kind of love that you have?"
III. Jesus called people who didn't really "get it" (2:17)
A. Table fellowship indicated a level of intimacy among those who shared it. The Pharisees were particularly scrupulous about their special rules on eating and did not like to eat with less scrupulous people, especially people like tax gatherers and sinners. Here they assume that Jesus, being a wise teacher, ought to share their religious convictions. But Jesus called people who didn't really get who he really was or what his mission was really about. Mark makes this point again and again—and I haven't even mentioned Judas, who would betray him.
Or Peter, who thrice publically denied him. Or Saul, who would imprison and murder Jesus' followers out of religious zeal.
ILLUSTRATION Dallas Willard writes: "As a child I lived in an area of southern Missouri where electricity was available only in the form of lightning. But in my senior year of high school the REA (Rural Electrification Administration) extended its lines into the area where we lived, and electrical power became available to households and farms. When those lines came by our farm, a very different way of living presented itself. Our relationships to fundamental aspects of life—daylight and dark, hot and cold, clean and dirty, work and leisure, preparing food and preserving it—could then be vastly changed for the better. But we still had to believe in the electricity and its arrangements, understand them, and take the practical steps involved in relying on it. You may think the comparison rather crude, and in some respects it is. But it will help us to understand Jesus' basic message about the kingdom of heaven if we pause to reflect on those farmers who, in effect, heard the message: "Repent, for electricity is at hand." " Turn from your kerosene lamps and lanterns, your iceboxes and cellars, your scrub-boards and rug beaters, your woman-powered sewing machines and your radio with dry-cell batteries." The power that could make their lives far better was right there near them where, by making relatively simple arrangements, they could utilize it. Strangely, a few did not accept it.
They did not enter the kingdom of electricity. Some just didn't want to change. Others could not afford it, or so they thought.
To be sure, God's kingdom has been here as long as we humans have been here, and longer. But it has been available to us through simple confidence in Jesus, the Anointed, only from the time he became a public figure.

THE Craigavon District darts league has always prided itself on being highly competitive and this proved to be the case in the much sought after Jim McCusker Cup last week as the Premier Bar claimed their first silverware when they overcame the odds to win the competition which was hosted by Eire Og.
Out of the seven matches played four of them went right to the deciding ninth leg with another two finishing 5-3 which only added to the atmosphere and tension. Having been drawn out against league leaders Drumgor in the first round the Premier started as underdogs but when they lost four out of the first five games to trail Drumgor 4-1 it looked like being an early night for the Church Place men, but they had different ideas and the quartet of Dee Blayney, Keith Beale, Mo Campbell and John Cinnamond managed to turn it around when they claimed the last four legs to record an excellent 5-4 win.
Their opponents in the semi-finals were Clann Eireann who came through a tough game against the Trojans. Having drawn both league games against each other there was never going to be much in it and so it proved with Clann Eireann taking an early 3-1 lead with wins from Ciaran McMahon, Kevin Oloan and Joe McCabe with Captain Andy Fairbairn replying for the Trojans. Rab Lewis and Joe McGahan soon pulled it level, but it was Mark Magee and Nathan McCabe who took Clann Eireann home to record a 5-3 win and send them into the last four.
In the other half of the draw last years finalists Celtic and the holders of the trophy INF clashed in the first round, but it was Celtic who gained revenge for that defeat when coming from 4-2 down to win 5-4. The INF took the first leg of the night when Terry Morrow hit a 19 darter in defeating Gerard Crewe only for Mick Millar and Tommy McErlene to put Celtic 2-1 up. Wins for Lee Culbert, Paddy Magill and Roy White put the INF on the brink of the semi's but it soon swung back the way of the Celtic when Anto Crewe, Davy McCusker and Dessie Dunbar somehow managed to overcome nine match darts for the INF to win the match 5-4 and set up a semi-final clash against the hosts Eire Og.
Eire Og had claimed the first four legs in their match against the Stables and with the Stables unfortunately only having eight men it meant an early end to the tie with Eire Og winning on a 5-0 scoreline.
In the first semi-final having already beaten the league leaders Drumgor the Premier now faced eighth placed Clann Eireann which proved just as difficult a game. Clann Eireann took the early lead 3-1 but just as quick as they lead the soon trailed 4-3 only for Neil McCluskey to take it the distance when he levelled the match at 4-4. Clann Eireann then found themselves out of that bit of luck you sometimes need when Ciaran McMahon was millimetres away from making the final on a couple of occasions only to see Dee Blayney hit double 9 much to the delight of the Premier and dismay for the Shore Road men.
The second semi-final was just as intense and competitive as it went back and forth with Celtic prevailing 5-4. Micky Dunwoody put Eire Og ahead but Martin Haddock and Sean Farren made it 2-1 to Celtic. Paul McGahan levelled the match and when Mark McLernan hit a 180 and a 16 dart leg Eire Og were soon 3-2 up. Anto crewe levelled it at 3-3. Sam Frazer struck first blood for Eire Og but it was Davy Mccusker and Dee Breen who guided Celtic into the final to set up a clash against the Premier.
The final started off in style with Keith Beale hitting an 18 dart leg to give the winners the lead and when Mo Campbell got his third win of the night and Brian McCavigan scored heavily to claim the third leg the Celtic were again going to have come from behind. The next two legs were shared with Dessie Dunbar winning for Celtic and John Cinnamond replying it was now 4-1 and only one more leg needed for the title. The final leg again proved to be the hardest to win and with Tommy McErlene and Dee Breen hitting their doubles the Celtic club were right back in it.
It was down to Simon Kendrick to seal it when double 16 was to be the last score of the night as he took the eighth leg of the final and bring the Jim McCusker Cup back to the Premier Bar in their debut season.
On Saturday it was qualifying round two of the Drumgor open and with 29 entries. It was Keith Beale who claimed the honours defeating Terry Morrow in the final. Beaten semi-finalists were Micky Campbell and Dave McCusker.

3006. Taxes not yet delinquent. (a) The tax collector may commence an action for recovery of taxes on property on the unsecured roll prior to the date such taxes become delinquent if, in the tax collector's opinion, it is necessary to do so in order to insure payment of such taxes because of the financial condition of the assessee or for other appropriate reasons. The tax collector shall file a declaration under penalty of perjury, as part of the complaint, setting forth the grounds and necessity for the action prior to the delinquency date. The tax collector shall also be entitled, upon application, to an ex parte writ of attachment of so much of the assessee's property as is necessary to satisfy the taxes on the basis of the tax collector's declaration.
(b) An assessee named in an action under subdivision (a) may file with the court a bond sufficient to pay the taxes alleged due in the complaint and petition the court to release the attached property.
(c) If the court determines that the action and writ of attachment prior to the delinquency date are unnecessary, the court shall require the county to pay all costs of suit, including attorney's fees, incurred by the assessee, and the sureties shall be released from liability on the bond. The court may, in its discretion, require payment of the taxes in question as a condition of releasing the sureties. In that case, however, the assessee shall be entitled to interest from the county at the rate of 7 percent per annum from the date the taxes are paid until the date such taxes would have become delinquent.
(d) In any case where an action by the tax collector under this section is dismissed and the assessee is not required by the court to pay the taxes as a condition of dismissal and subsequent to the delinquency date the taxes remain unpaid, the county shall be entitled to recover, in addition to the taxes and all penalties and costs accruing thereon, all costs ordered by the court to be paid by the county to the assessee in the first action and all costs incurred by the county in any subsequent actions of the county in collecting the taxes.
(e) In all actions and proceedings brought under this section, all courts in which the actions and proceedings are pending shall, upon the request of any party thereto, give the actions and proceedings precedence over all other civil actions and proceedings, except actions and proceedings to which special precedence is otherwise given by law, in the matter of setting them for hearing or trial, and in their hearing or trial, to the end that all the actions and proceedings shall be quickly heard and determined.

3 Calif. parks to stay open thanks to U.S. move
Published 6:01 pm, Thursday, October 6, 2011
San Francisco --
Three of California's most picturesque state parks - including two in Marin County - were taken off the state park closure list Thursday after the National Park Service agreed to take over security and operations.
The park service plans to patrol and collect fees from the 250,000 people a year who visit Tomales Bay State Park, Samuel P. Taylor State Park and Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park when the state closes as many as a quarter of its protected areas, historic sites and natural preserves next year.
It is one of the first of what park officials hope will be many collaborative partnerships among public and private agencies and government organizations to keep parks open.
"It's very exciting news, and it is a continuation of a long-term collaboration between the National Park Service and the California State Parks," said Jerry Emory, the spokesman for the California State Parks Foundation. "It's not a silver bullet, but it keeps some parks open."
The key to this agreement, park officials said, is that all three state parks are adjacent to national parklands. Staffing, resource protection and park operations were, to at least some extent, already being shared.
The 2,000-acre park in Tomales Bay, with its pristine beaches and virgin stands of bishop pines, is actually within the borders of the Point Reyes National Seashore. Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park is within Redwood National Park, near Crescent City.
The most complicated of the three agreements was the one involving Samuel P. Taylor park, a camping haven amid redwood trees that is surrounded by land that is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Recreation area officials said a $2 day use fee will be tacked onto the existing $5 fee at Muir Woods National Monument. That money will go into a fund that will pay for operations at Mount Tamalpais State Park, which isn't on the closure list, and keep Samuel P. Taylor open at least four days a week.
"The closure of the state parks that are within our national park areas could create use pressures and unacceptable threats to park resources," said Frank Dean, the recreation area's general superintendent.
A large portion of the money will also be used to protect and enhance the watershed that feeds Redwood Creek, which originates on Mount Tamalpais, passes through Muir Woods and flows out to the ocean at Muir Beach.
"Muir Woods, Golden Gate and Mount Tamalpais State Park are inextricably linked in the complex watershed of Redwood Creek," Dean said.
The agreement will not save 67 of California's 278 parks, including the governor's mansion and several other parks within an hour of San Francisco. Candlestick Point State Recreation Area in San Francisco, China Camp State Park in Marin, and Olompali State Park and Jack London State Historic Park in Sonoma County, are still on the closure list.
All together, the parks scheduled for closure attract about 5.6 million visitors a year.
The one-year deal, which can be renewed by mutual agreement, obligates the National Park Service to keep the three state parks open, but officials said no additional federal money will be spent on the parks and no major or long-term infrastructure improvements or repairs will be made.

There are several things that we take into account when creating your website design, and these are things you should consider as well. Aside from the typical items like color scheme, logo, and other basic design elements, we need to take into account detailed graphic design elements, overall user experience, and your content marketing strategy. It's important to find a website provider that will take all of these things, from basic to detailed, into consideration when desinging your site.
Graphic Design for your Website
Graphic design is an important factor in every website design. Your new website must look professional, but should also have some creative elements to it. You want your website design to be unique to your company and brand.
Your website design must also be user friendly. Know what your customers are looking for when they come to your website, and we can help structure it so that it is easy to find. Poorly designed websites lead to larger back-out rates, which means users are closing out of your site and moving on to a competitor's.
Content is what customers and potential customers access your website for, so it is an essential factor in designing your site. We can structure your site differently based on your content needs. Websites should fit the content.
If you have a lot of pictures, but not a lot of text, a different website structure is needed than if you have pages and pages of text based content that your customers need. Search engine optimization (SEO) also needs to be taken into consideration during the content design.
My goal is to double revenue from the site in the next 2 years. Now that Five Technology has built me this powerful portal management web application, I am able to streamline the process of publishing content.Paul Taylor III, SurvivingMold.com
The staff at Five Technology has been wonderful to work with. They are receptive to the needs of the school district and willing to work within our budget. They have gone above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied with the product they are delivering.Traci Lawman, Delano Public Schools
Wow, the transition to the new system was seamless. Kudos to everyone that worked this out. Thank you very much!Vicki Adney, Reck Agri
We have had many comments from our community on the ease of use of navigation and they really have enjoyed the new look and layout. Our staff certainly has benefited as we have used the website more and more as a communication device to our school patrons. I look forward to taking full advantage of the student section for our classes, hopefully next year.Paul Ludwig, Delano Public Schools

Anarchic, feisty but growing old, high society drop-out Judy Haussman remains in spirit with the Ashrams of the 1960s while holding court in her dilapidated Art Deco house on the Devon coast. After an operation, she's joined by wayward offspring Nick and Libby, sharp-eyed granddaughter Summer, local doctor Peter, and Daniel, a troubled teenager who makes use of the family's crumbling swimming pool. Together they share a few sweltering months as they alternately cling to and flee this louche and chaotic world of all-day drinking, infatuations, long-held resentments, free love and failure. Stephen Beresford's The Last of the Haussmans examines the fate of the revolutionary generation and offers a funny, touching and at times savage portrait of a family full of longing that?s losing its grip. Julie Walters plays Judy Haussman, with Rory Kinnear and Helen McCrory as her wayward offspring.

Product Description
Nicholson Baker, who "writes like no one else in America" (Newsweek), here assembles his best short pieces from the last fifteen years.

The Way the World Works, Baker's second nonfiction collection, ranges over the map of life to examine what troubles us, what eases our pain, and what brings us joy. Baker moves from political controversy to the intimacy of his own life, from forgotten heroes of pacifism to airplane wings, telephones, paper mills, David Remnick, Joseph Pulitzer, the OED, and the manufacture of the Venetian gondola. He writes about kite string and about the moment he met his wife, and he surveys our fascination with video games while attempting to beat his teenage son at Modern Warfare 2. In a celebrated essay on Wikipedia, Baker describes his efforts to stem the tide of encyclopedic deletionism; in another, he charts the rise of e-readers; in a third he chronicles his Freedom of Information lawsuit against the San Francisco Public Library.

Through all these pieces, many written for The New Yorker, Harper's, and The American Scholar, Baker shines the light of an inexpugnable curiosity. The Way the World Works is a keen-minded, generous-spirited compendium by a modern American master.

Ash Ketchum had the right idea when he caught a Pidgeotto as his third career Pokémon. It became one of his most trusted Pokémon throughout Kanto, and consequently, he has always carried a bird Pokemon with him. Despite the amazingness of birds in general, Game Freak decided to lay an egg with a select few. That is, they decided to think it would be a good idea to disgrace the bird legacy by including failures that lacked the essentials to being a bird. To be exempt from such an unfortunate list, the bird Pokémon in question must be able to learn:
In addition to possessing bird-like qualities such as:
Of course, as you will see in this article, there are some exceptions that will appear. However, not all had gone wrong when Game Freak designed their birds, as there are a multitude of standouts ranging from aesthetically pleasing designs, all the way to genetic history. This article will separate the inferior from the superior, and grant certain birds the right to kacaw.
Although not the least birdy of all birds, Tornadus-T is probably the most disappointing "bird" in this article. Everything in its appearance indicates that it is a bird. Its design, that sleek elegance in each of its feathers, the two beautifully angled bird-legs, the stout mustache on its face! All that crumbles to dust as soon as you learn that it doesn't learn not only Brave Bird, but yes, the bird-like species with wings, does not have the capability of learning Roost. It is a disgrace to birds everywhere, and I'm sure everyone would prefer if you resist typing "kacaw" in the PS! chat when you send out your Tornadus-T, because it brings shame to REAL birds everywhere.
Blaziken is a bird??? Yes, even I was surprised when I learned of this shocking information. Apparently chickens do in fact fall under the bird category in the animal kingdom. What truly makes Blaziken a disappointing bird is the fact that it can't fly, and not only can it not fly, but it doesn't even have wings! How can you be a bird without wings? Even in real life chickens have wings, but Game Freak seemed to have forgotten that detail when they designed Blaziken. I suppose Game Freak realized that blunder two generations later, and in order to receive Blaziken's forgiveness, they ended up giving it Speed Boost. Later, it got banned from standard OU play for that. Well at least it beat Ash's Charizard in the Johto League!
Like Blaziken, it would be hard to identify Golduck as a bird at first glance. Obviously it is a duck; it even says so in its name, though its appearance looks nothing like the amazing animal species known as the duck. The thing has no wings, has no feathers, and is shaped like a human. At least Blaziken has feathers; this thing is a bigger disgrace to birds than Tornadus-T. It doesn't learn Brave Bird or Fly, indicating that it is mediocre at best. It doesn't even learn Roost. It essentially lacks any three of the moves that qualify a Pokémon as a bird (among other things). The other two disgraceful mess-ups have at least one of the three. Its abilities don't even make sense with its species origin. If you're a duck, I'm fairly certain that you're not going to be the fastest animal in the pond, so why give it Swift Swim? Give it to a real bird, such as a penguin instead. Do not waste this ability on a lowly figure such as Golduck. The thing on its face isn't even a beak—it's a bill. What a horrible Pokemon.
If you go back and watch the very first Pokémon episode in existence, you will find that Dodrio is the first real Pokémon ever seen by the viewer (all prior Pokémon were either in a dream or on TV). What I always questioned was the fact that it was used as a rooster in the way that it woke up Ash, but I guess that just means it is a very versatile bird. What's a better way to kick off one of the most successful animes in TV history than the beautiful kacaw of a Dodrio? Although Dodrio is based off the the ostrich species, a flightless bird, it still learns Fly, which in itself is quite a feat. When you're defying real-life logic, you know you must be beasting it up. Not only that, but it gets Brave Bird AND Roost. The wingless bird has the ability to Roost, which is almost as logic defying as Dugtrio knowing Sucker Punch. It is also the quickest bird in terms of land speed, which basically means that not only does it rule the airspace, but also Usain Bolt. Not bad, Dodrio; not bad at all.
It would be a crime to not include the bird of presents into the top five Birdy Birds for two reasons. One, a bird that hands out presents is probably the coolest thing in the world, and two, I don't want Santa Claus to put me on his naughty list for not including his little helper. I'm pretty sure this thing is based off a penguin, so the fact that it is able to fly is awesome, if I do say so myself. Fittingly enough, Delibird has access to the ability Hustle, which not only makes it an excellent choice on Christmas night, but automatically pumps up his swag levels tenfold. It also has one of the coolest signature moves imaginable in Present. True, it is a horrible move, 50% of the time you're healing the opponent, while the other 50% you do pitiful damage, but honestly how can you resist using it? The ultimate combination of cuteness and hard work, Game Freak did an excellent job on this bird.
In terms of pure coolness, Honchkrow automatically tops the bird list. I mean come on, just look at the hat on top of its head. All you need is a glance to realize that this bird just doesn't give a damn about anything. Not only is it a thug, but it even has Moxie to boot. Honestly it's like Game Freak realized that they messed up with making Murkrow a sissy back in GSC, so they made up for it by pimping it out in DPP with Honchkrow. Game Freak modeled Honchkrow after two things, the crow, a bird almost everything hates, and the mafia, who everyone hates. The only way Game Freak could have made Honchkrow look any more OG than it does now is if they took a picture of Al Capone and stuck it onto a bird body. It's a shame that the bird doesn't learn Trick, cause that's all I would imagine it doing to me if I met it in a dark alley. Well that and Sucker Punch...and Foul Play...and Thief... Yeah, not a bird I would want to meet in a dark alley.
Ah, yes, Chatot, the bird that represents the macaw, which rhymes with kacaw, which means that it is a true bird. I am not quite sure why Game Freak decided to give a macaw parakeet-esque traits, what with Chatot repeating everything it hears, but I guess Chatot was up to the challenge. Since it is technically the only bird that is able to talk, it was catapulted up this list all the way to #2. Its signature move, Chatter, is quite the move, especially considering its in-game effect. I remember every time my Chatot used Chatter in Pokemon Platinum, I was met with the beautiful sound of "Eo is a smelly gobstopper" as it proceeded to OHKO the opposing Starly. I do not know of anyone who wouldn't agree that that's pretty damn cool.
You know how Pikachu's species categorizes it as the "Mouse" species? Well, Archeops's species is literally "First Bird Pokémon". I mean, I just felt like it would be a crime if the first bird Pokémon isn't the most birdy of all the birds. Don't get me wrong; even though Archeops kinda fell into this spot by default, it still has many characteristics that make it #1. If all birds derive from Archeops (this is discounting the whole meteor ending all dinosaur life situation), then how could it be less birdy than its nieces and nephews? You can thank Archeops for your Skarmory because without it, all you would have is a lump of iron and coal, and you know what else that means. You wouldn't be getting a visit from Delibird anytime soon. Archeops just saved your Christmas. You're welcome.

As politicos bandy about the issue of banning bisphenol A (BPA), the hard-plastic additive that's been linked to a host of health problems, several companies have recently announced that they will banish it from their baby products. Attorneys general from Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware in October asked six major baby bottle makers to stop using the controversial chemical. All of the companies have agreed to comply, according to a statement released yesterday by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
"This prompt positive response sends a profoundly significant message that baby bottle manufacturers respect the science showing BPA health dangers," Blumenthal said. According to the announcement, Avent, Disney First Years, Dr. Brown, Evenflow, Gerber and Playtex will all stop selling bottles and formula containing the chemical. Retailers, such as Wal-Mart, CVS and Toys 'R Us, announced last year that they would also discontinue selling them.

A five year once in a generation economic boom is about to hit Parramatta.
Economic growth is set to almost double by 2021, according to a new PricewaterhouseCoopers report.
The Parramatta 2021 report commissioned by City of Parramatta Council estimated a workforce of 186,000 within five years, while an additional 41,000 residents will call Parramatta home.
"Parramatta will double in size in the next 20 years but the next five years is going to be impressive," council general manager Greg Dyer told business leaders last week.
"That future will be here on our doorstop sooner than anyone thinks. It will show the way for other parts of western Sydney and we hope to add metro and fast rail links to cement the deal."
Committee of Sydney chief executive Dr Tim Williams spoke about the need for Parramatta to become a 30 minute city.
"We need to maintain the rage but it needs to be done in a way to avoid regional jealousies as Parramatta's success will lead to success of other regions. Parramatta isn't the gift of the west. It still requires new and further investment," he said.

A Pentagon spokesman said Wednesday that American defense officials "have no reason to doubt" the authenticity of a newly released video that appears to show the calm and peaceful handoff of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl by his
The 17-minute video, released to NBC News by what the network reported was a "known Taliban spokesman," shows representatives of both sides quickly shaking hands before Bergdahl is handed over, patted down and helped into a U.S. helicopter for transport.
In a statement released Wednesday, Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said the video showing the controversial handover was still being reviewed at the Pentagon.
"Regardless, we know the transfer was peaceful and successful, and our focus remains on getting Sgt. Bergdahl the care he needs," Kirby said.
Bergdahl was released Saturday after five years of imprisonment and several months of negotiations. The Obama administration negotiated his freedom in exchange for the transfer to Qatar of five detainees from the detention center at
The swap has been criticized by Republicans who say the White House violated policy by releasing Guantanamo detainees without the required advanced notice to
The video opens with images of the 28-year-old Bergdahl seated in a white truck, his head and face completely shaven, speaking with a man who at one point pats him on the chest.
Dressed in a white tunic with a blanket over his shoulders, Bergdahl blinks rapidly and wipes at his eyes as they wait for a helicopter to appear in the cloudy skies above.
The video then captures images of a U.S. helicopter coming into sight, circling and landing, and then of three men in dark clothing running out several yards to meet Bergdahl and the two men who accompany him.
One of Bergdahl's escorts carries a white flag tied to a stick. Both escorts shake hands with the men before handing Bergdahl over to them. After leading Bergdahl back to the helicopter, the men pat him down.
The video then shows the helicopter disappearing into the sky, and closes with a superimposed message -- misspelled and uncapitalized, but clear: "Don' come back to afghanistan."

In 2007, the Dodgers selected him in the 27th round of the amateur draft, but he decided to attend UCLA instead. Rasmussen was selected by the Miami Marlins in the second round of the 2010 amateur draft and then traded to the Houston organization on July 4 as part of the deal that sent Carlos Lee to Miami. In three minor league seasons, Rasmussen is 20-21 with a 3.88 ERA in 60 games (53 starts), including 4-4 with a 4.80 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) at Double-A Corpus Christi in 2012. Ely, 26, was acquired in a Dec. trade in 2009 with the White Sox and went 4-13 with a 5.70 ERA in 25 games (19 starts) over three seasons in Los Angeles. The Dodgers now have 39 players on their 40-man roster.

Portable green houses are making it possible for people with green thumbs but with fewer resources to realise their dreams of having full-fledged plant ecology in their gardens. These temporary green houses are available in various designs, shapes and cater to a variety of requirements, and of course, they are economic as compared to the glass ones. Buying one is a quick fix idea to set up a plant house, but there are aspects the buyer should consider, here are some of them.
To begin with, one should decide how many plants and flowers they will be planting, and in which manner. Some green houses come with inbuilt racks, which allow the user to plant smaller plants as well as full size ones. If you are not sure about what kind of temporary green houses will be good for your purpose, you should take the suggestion of some others who own or run green houses. If you have a local greenhouse in the area, you can get many ideas just by visiting them a couple of times.
While all hot houses are green houses, all green houses are not hot houses, and if you are planting plants and flowers that require ventilation, you should check whether the green house you plan to buy offers the right kind of ventilation or not. Some plants and flowers have a delicate constitution, and it is quite possible that they die off even before you understand that the plants are not getting the kind of ventilation that it requires. Therefore, you should be quite careful about the type of plant house that you are looking for, and again, if you are not sure, you should take the suggestion of others who have green houses.
Another important aspect that you should keep in mind is the stability and strength of the green house. Remember that the green house is home to several plant lives, so it would be criminal if it is not strong enough and tumbles down after you have installed the plants in the green house. Manufacturers can use plastic, steel or other material while building such portable houses. You need to check out the most stable ones, or at least the most stable ones available in your budget.
If your local area does not have such houses, you can always join some of the many online forums that act as an interaction point for everyone who is in the business of flowers, right from people who have green houses as a hobby, to those who own or maintain professional green houses.
Consider these aspects while buying a portable greenhouse and you can be sure that you will buy a decent one for the plants. Several manufacturers offer such houses, and most have an online presence. You can browse through their websites and look through the various kinds that they offer. Some of them offer online shopping, so you can buy their products online, and pay in one of the many ways that they have on offer.

Discussion in 'Photographic Discussions' started by duncanp, Dec 27, 2009.
BBC News - PA sport pictures of the decade
Some of them are definitely impressive.
And others are decidedly cliche and dull and boring and near garbage--like the guy lifting the trophy over his head--how lame! Several of the photos are mediocre at best. I did like the ballet-like football photo with all the guys leaping in the air amidst driving rain...and I thought the sunabathing women on the rooftop with the formula race car driving below was clever....but the shot of the Formula 1 driver hoisting the trophy--yet another crap photo, totally undeserving of a "best of decade" award--hardly even best of the day. A selection of 10 best-of photos with two dull,boring "we won this trophy" shots is ridiculous.
Cliché and lame does not necessarily mean a picture isn't bad. Yes it's done a million times before, but the point of sports photography isn't exactly to do creative art, it's simply to capture the moment. Just so happens that the holding the trophy above the head is a moment that happens precisely once every game for every sport.
Not best photo of the decade sure, but not exactly garbage either.
That one of Tyson is awesome though. That's one of the few photos in there that conveys some more unique emotions. Also check out the little Asian guy on the right.
SOme of those photos are so,so incredibly week, they would not make the grade for inclusion in a monthly best-of, let alone a Best of Decade gallery. The footballer sticking his tongue out and making a stupid face? Pathetic. And the Jenson trophy shot--VERY boring and a flat-out lame photograph. An amateur standing there could have captured the same photo...it's a cliche of epic proportions,and it's simply lame.
I thought the original poster's use of a question mark in his title was appropriate. I cannot for the life of me understand why over half of those photographs would be considered "Best of Decade" quality in any conceivable manner. Most-memorable photos?
Sports photos - Sports Illustrated photo galleries - SI.com
A quick look through even three or four of these galleries will reveal a dozen or more "memorable" sports photos. The original list looks like a one-hour cobbled together Best of Decade effort...half of the photos are simply not good sports photos. Three of them are interesting, the rest are "meh". But then, I look at lots of sports photos from Sports Illustrated, where the skill level of the shooters, and the artistic,creative,and and technical standards are significantly higher than those being used at the OP's link.
Let's look at SI.com's photos of the past WEEK, for comparison
Leading Off: Pictures of the Week - Photos - SI.com
I was going to direct y'all to Sports Illustrated - the current issue, in particular - but Derrel beat me to it. They're pretty much all better than any of these, in my opinion.
...and that dude on the far right: is it Will Farrell or George W.???
I thought, wow, that's a little harsh... Derrel ,must think he's top $h!t. But after looking at the pics "Of the decade" I would have to agree with Derrel 100%.
Still a bit harsh in my opinion. Comparing photos from Sports Illustrated a company with a very very different focus than Press Association, even the worst SI pictures will trump PA.
I considered that as well. But those are the pics they drummed up for best of the DECADE? With the exception of a few, that's a pretty sad lot.
Thanks for the SI links, truly inspirational.
If David Davies was asked to shoot the sort of shot that go in SI they would, the shots in the gallery are for a totally different use than the ones in SI
The BBC News photos are a list of 'the most memorable' photos....not the 'best' photos. So I can excuse them from being great photos, or even technically good.
I remember looking at several of these types of 'best photo' lists for new organizations and many of them are technically poor photos...they might be blurry etc. But it's the moment captured in time that is important...not the sharpness or exposure of the photo, that is memorable.
Well "their" best of the decade. All that really says is if you like sports photography don't work for PA. :lmao:
Separate names with a comma.

Cult rockers The Strokes will make their live comeback at next summer's Isle of Wight festival in Britain.
The New York band took a hiatus in 2006 and a planned reunion for 2009 was scrapped when singer Julian Casablancas announced his plans to release a solo album and tour.
But the group will reconvene in the studio in January, and now a comeback show has been announced – The Strokes will be among the headliners at the Isle of Wight event in June, 2010.
Jay-Z, Pink, Orbital and Blondie have also signed up for the annual festival.
The news comes just weeks after top British music magazine the NME named The Strokes' 2001 debut "This Is It" the best album of the decade.

FAIRBANKS (AP) -- It's been a few years since Scotty Dawkins left the 49th state, but he still remembers the great turkey prices offered by Alaska stores at Thanksgiving time. So he ordered one.
Dawkins, now living in Leland, Mich., grew disgusted with the high local cost of turkeys -- over $1 per pound at two supermarkets and 59 cents at a third. So he called Carrs in Eagle River, learned turkeys were going for 33 cents a pound, and ordered a 20-pounder.
That was before he found out that the overnight shipping, the only way the turkey could be sent, would cost $123. He canceled his order.
''I wanted to make a statement but not that much of one,'' he said Tuesday from Michigan.
Dawkins, a former resident of Juneau and Palmer, worked for the Department of Law's consumer affairs division, which was later eliminated.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price of turkey nationwide is 99 cents a pound.
In Alaska's larger communities, turkeys start as low as 27 cents a pound with qualifying purchases at Fred Meyer and 33 cents a pound for Club Card members at Safeway. Many supermarkets sell turkeys at low prices to entice people into their stores.
''Prices vary regionally,'' said Sherrie Rosenblatt, spokesman for the National Turkey Federation in Washington, D.C. Turkeys are plentiful this year, Rosenblatt added.
Bill McKenzie, a meat cutter at a Fairbanks Fred Meyer, said price doesn't seem to be very important to some shoppers. Fresh turkeys, which cost a lot more than frozen, have been very popular this year, along with flame-crafted hams that sell at $5.98 a pound.

A wedding is meant to be the happiest day of your life, but it can, however, be hard to keep within expectations to host a luxurious wedding and still be within the bounds of your budget. You can take a few steps to rein in your spending and stick to a budget. Take heed of the advice that is contained here to bring the wedding budget back under control, while you have a day to remember.
If you want a relative or friend to officiate the wedding, they can get ordained online. Not only will this save you money by not needing to hire an officiant, it will add a nice personal touch to the ceremony. Check your local laws to ensure that this does allow you to have a legally binding marital union, some locations need you to use an official ordained in a church.
A relative or friend can serve as your assistant, as often the only requirement for the job is being able to haul your gear. A family member or a close friend will be able to gather families together for group photographs.
Place your colorful wedding cake on a swatch of fabric that coordinates with the cake. You can tie all of the elements together by choosing fabrics that have unique textures, patterns, solid prints or those made of satin, silk or velvet.
Be sure that any reception venue you select has enough space for you to dance. You want room for people to move freely as they dance. Move furniture if necessary to make room for exuberant dancing.
Instead of purchasing a new engagement ring, consider using something else. An heirloom piece of jewelry can be a wonderful engagement ring that has great sentimental value. This piece of jewelery can be a keepsake that can show you've become part of a new family and will also be wearing a beautiful piece of jewelery.
Make sure your caterer knows you desire an outdoor wedding reception. Some foods are not suitable for an outdoor reception because they may not keep well or they may fly away in heavy wind gusts. Perhaps you can use fancy covers on your dishes. Furthermore, consider hiring a refrigerator to keep beverages cool.
It is vital that your wedding lives up to the bride's expectations so that she can be happy during the wedding. You could cause her a lot of stress if she's doing all of the planning or if there are any surprises that might disappoint her. Secretly, the bride runs every wedding behind the scenes and you should allow her to do so, because it could be the difference between a happy wife or a bridezilla!
If you cringe at the thought of purchasing an extremely expensive yet incredibly unhealthy wedding cake, there are other options available. You should consider getting in touch with local bakeries and specialty boutiques to inquire about individual portions that are healthier. Some bakeries can ship lower calorie cupcakes and also offer gluten-free options like no-calorie sweeteners, fruit-filling, and meringue toppings.
You don't have to be excessive to have a beautiful wedding. By following the advice in this article, you will have an unforgettable wedding, without going hugely into debt.

text: We've been round this several times, with lots of discussion, but I think it's time to do it again and hopefully get resolution. 1. Requirements: 1.1. Users of programs like man and trn and so forth should get the best editor or pager available by default. 1.2. All applications which invoke editors and pagers should be properly affected by EDITOR and PAGER. 1.3. vipw and vigr should invoke vi by default, if available and EDITOR is not set. 2. Observations: 2.1. Almost all programs obey EDITOR and PAGER already - we just need a sensible compiled-in default. 2.2. Programs which do not obey EDITOR and PAGER can be fixed, or if this is hard they can be pointed at script(s) which do obey these variables. 2.3. We do not want to try to set EDITOR and PAGER conditionally in /etc/profile &c., both because the user's environment doesn't want to be cluttered and because this is hard to do for all shells. 3. Conclusions: 3.1. From 1.3 and 1.1 we can see that we need versions of vipw and vigr which call the best editor if available, rather than defaulting to vi. 3.2. From 2.1 and 2.3 we can see that we need new pathnames which can be compiled into programs as the best editor and pager. 4. Proposals: 4.1. There should be /usr/bin/editor and /usr/bin/pager, managed using update-alternatives, with some appropriate centrally-specified priorities. 4.2. there should be editpw and editgr which set EDITOR to editor if it is not already set and then call vipw or vigr. 4.3. vipw and vigr should call EDITOR or vi (from the PATH); if vi is not available they should prompt or fail, and suggest editpw or editgr. 4.4. There should be scripts /usr/share/sensible-editor and /usr/share/sensible-pager which invoke EDITOR or PAGER, or editor or pager if the environment variables are not set. 5. Implementation - phase 1, provision: 5.1. At least emacs, ae and nvi need to be changed so that they use update-alternatives to provide editor, and at least less and util-linux (containing more) need to provide pager. 5.2. base-files should be made to contain /usr/share/sensible/editor and /usr/share/sensible-pager. 6. Implementation - phase 2, use: 6.1. editpw and editgr need to be added to the passwd package, and vipw and vigr changed to use vi unless EDITOR is set. 6.2. All other programs which have ae as a default editor for when EDITOR is unset or more as a default pager for when PAGER is unset need to be changed to use editor or pager. 6.3. All programs which do not honour EDITOR or PAGER should be changed to call sensible-editor and sensible-pager.

Canola Oil – AKA Rapeseed Oil
If you have ever eaten all natural peanut butter, you know that the peanut oil often separates from the rest of the peanut butter, and it doesn't look very appetizing. This is why most peanut butter manufacturers replace the peanut oil with canola (or rapeseed) oil. Surprisingly, on the Jif jar, it actually lists "rapeseed oil" instead of Canola oil in the ingredients.
Think about it…there's peanut oil, which comes from peanuts…soybean oil, which comes from soybeans…and then there's canola oil, which comes from…a canola plant?? The funny thing is that there isn't a canola plant. So where does canola oil come from?
Originally, Canola oil was created from a toxic plant known as a rapeseed plant. Europeans used it for animal feed until their animals started developing a brain eating disease called Scrapies. As a result, they banned its use in 1991.
Since then, Canada did some genetic engineering on the rape seed oil, so now they say it's no longer dangerous. NOT TRUE!! Canada did animal testing with their so-called safe canola oil, and surprise, surprise, but it caused some dangerous effects. Rats used in testing grew fatty deposits on their hearts, kidneys, adrenal glands and thyroids. When the Canola oil was removed from their diet, the fatty deposits disappeared but left scar tissue.
Canola oil depresses our immune system, making us more susceptible to many sicknesses that our body would naturally fight off! So how did this dangerous oil get approved by the FDA for use in our foods?? It all boils down to money. The FDA is very corrupt and easily bribed. Canada paid the US FDA $50 million to have Canola oil added to the safe additive list.
Now our peanut butter and many of the other processed foods we eat contain Canola oil. Start buying all natural peanut butter; you can stir it up then store it in the refrigerator to keep it creamy. Check the labels before you buy, to make sure there isn't any Canola oil. And don't use it in the fryer! Use lard, it's actually less fattening.

"Canola" oil has impacted my life in a negative way for many many years. Starting my long enduring health journey about 3 years ago I have learned so many things. But only about a month ago i finally realized what was still keeping me from feeling great and causing all of these terrible symptoms. It was canola oil. My scalp and skin was a disaster. I had brain fog, and was ALWAYS tired. I could not perform. I am in college and this ruined my athletic career and has really put a huge dent into my academic achievements. Canola oil is in everything because it is cheap to grow, harvest, and process. I feel very very very strongly about the subject of "canola" oil because of the impact it has had on my life …
You all are so right, I have been the organic business for over forty years in both store keeping for 7years then 36 years of organic farming and now back to store,keeping for 5 years and counting and I am very healthy and now I am 71 years old an am appalled what is going on in the commercial food world. If I can help you folks I will and it's time to blow the whistle, my own son even thinks that canola oil is okay and he is 28 years old, enough said I have to get back to my Organic Market this morning but keep up the good work and I will blow the whistle. Thank you for your work and I will look at your organization tonight. David Ronniger ( you can Google my name and see who I am )

State appeals court ruling on education funding
The Attorney General's Office is asking the Arizona Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling that said lawmakers violated the will of voters three years ago when they failed to increase education funding to match inflation.

Arizona's online public schools deserve equal funding
Fairness is among the first lessons we teach our children. Wait your turn, share your toys, obey the rules. So why is this value absent when it comes to funding children's public education? I can't fully answer that question. Neither can the thousands of parents like me whose children attend Arizona's virtual public charter schools. Though our children are public school students under Arizona state law, they receive only a portion of standard public school funding.Read More »

I hope we can move forward as a unified Party. I am getting the feeling that the word "Unity" is only used when the moderate wing of the Party wins. When Trisha Stall defeated Marty Williams last spring in a primary, the moderates bailed and did not "fully" back her, and as a result the Republicans lost the seat. If it had been a moderate who won and the conservatives behind Trisha, or whomever, refused to back the nominee, the moderates would have gone crazy.
