Hi All,
I found out recently, after purchasing and installing ACT Premium 2010, that this version is not compatible with Office 2010. Is there going to be a patch available in the near future to remedy this? I just rolled out Windows 7 with Office 2010 and now am unable to use ACTs integration with Outlook. This is a major component of ACT and we really need this to work. I am NOT inclined to purchase a new release as I just purchased THIS version.
Anyone know of any patches being released to make this compatible or have any information from SAGE?
I have reason to doubt that there will be a service pack for ACT! 2010 to support Office 2010. Also ACT! 2011 doesn't support the 64-bit version of Office 2010, only the 32-bit version.

See elsewhere on this forum, Linda M for the growing number of people angry about this. There should be a disclaimer with all advertising for ACT! 2010 to say that it isn't compatible with Office 2010. Everything points to us all having to shell out for ACT!2011. So much for customer relationship managment :-(
I agree. Office 2010 was released during ACT 2010's "tenure". Office integration is a primary feature of ACT.
If you just recently purchased ACT!, I would call them and let them know your situation and see if you can return ACT! 2010 for ACT! 2011. I believe there is a 30 day return policy.
I have just received information that there are issues with ACT! Supporting Office 2010 and Office XP at the same time. To support Office 2010, they would have had to drop support for XP. Likewise, ACT 2011 will support Office 2010 integration, but no longer support XP.
Surely it would be possible for a patch to be released for those users using Office 2010. We are well past using XP.
It looks like a wait for the release of ACT! 2011 for a fix.
My biggest issue I have with all this however is the deadly silence of SAGE for many many months over this issue. Only one post that they are working on a fix and will advise us accordingly. Sorry, that is not good enough in my book. I am going to search for an alternative - don't know if I will find one - but if I do, bye bye ACT!
Thanks for your reply. I purchased ACT 2010 Premium with Tech Support on June 3rd from an ACT reseller. They have informed me that I would have to purchase the 2011 upgrade ... which I REFUSE to do. I will downgrade my Office suite before I purchase another thing from ACT.
There is no way that ACT or the ACT reseller didn't know by June that ACT 2010 would not work with Office 2010, If SAGE is releasing 2011, as someone in this forum pointed out, in a few weeks, then how were they able to address the problem with the upgraded version? To me it's just SAGE's way of forcing an upgrade.
I'm sure I am not alone in deciding NOT to upgrade. And what about right now? ACT 2011 is not even available yet and I have 3 workstations running Office 2010 that CANNOT integrate with ACT 2010. Thank goodness I didn't upgrade all my workstations at one time!
Hopefully SAGE will do the right thing and give us a fix. Otherwise I may start looking for another approach in the near future that will meet our needs. I know I won't be recommending ACT to anyone of my contacts, at least not right now.
I can assure you that your ACT Reseller did not know. As a reseller, I didn't learn anything about it until this week. I know you are frustrated, and hopefully there will be a solution or even an "add-on" that will address this soon.
As an ACT! reseller and with Sage delaying any announcement on
support for Office 2010 under ACT! 2010 I need to distance my company
from Sage's inaction on this crucial decision.
We do not support further delay. It is already causing anxiety for our
clients and I am constrained on revealing any information from Sage
that will assist my clients to make the appropriate business decisions
on this issue.
It is entirely regrettable but outside the control of the loyal ACT!
Consultants and ACT! clients affected by this indecision.
However as ACT! Consultants we are already feeling the heat of
customers understandable anger.
Further, I regret to have to take action in posting this public notice
in defence of our good standing as ACT! resellers and to apologise to
our own loyal clients.

Who's Ready for Volleyball Season?
Looking for stuff to do this summer?
Check out any college volleyball program for their camp schedules:
> CU, CSU, Air Force, Regis University, CCU, DU, or Metro
> Look for an "Individual Skills" camp if your daughter is interested in specializing (there are serving camps, hitting camps, setting camps, etc.) or an "All Skills" camp if she's just interested in everything volleyball.
Denver-area volleyball clubs can be found on www.rmrvolleyball.org. They usually post a summer schedule of camps too.
Athletes can also get lots of experience and have lots of fun in any leagues that are held around town — doubles, 3-on-3, indoor/outdoor, etc.
Increasing beach volleyball opportunities are available – check out Yeti Beach or Flourish Beach for nearby options.
Please contact me with any questions. I'm looking forward to next season!

It's gotta be said again, people who rides bikes are pretty damn good people. You might have read some stuff on here from a bloke called Ben. He's prone to posting pictures of fish, small children and stories about bushwalks. Ben's a good mate of mine, who happens to have a good mate called Matt. You've probably seen Matt's posts on here as well. A little less frequent, but often filled with quality music and wistful prose. I'm saddened to say that I haven't actually met Matt in person, but if you can judge a guy by his facebook page (you can), then he's a bloody top bloke as well. Now Matt happens to live in New Zealand, although a little further North of my current location. He also happens to have a friend whose name is also Matt. Matt has a mate called Julien, and also a friend called Mike (who's friends with the other Matt too). So as you can see, there are lots of friends around here and all of them are bloody top notch people. It's kinda like a big pot of friend-spaghetti, where everyone's connected in various ways, be it pasta or tomato sauce. What does that mean? I have no idea, but I'm tired and I'm gonna stick with it.
The fact of the matter is that I spent just over a week in the beautiful town of Nelson, riding amazing trails with a rad bunch of guys and girls who I'd never met before, and with whom my only initial connection was another guy I've never met, who happens to know one bloke I have met. But that's the beauty of bike riding isn't it? The thing we harp on about all the time, that sense of community and the networks that open up in the blink of an eye and the turn of a pedal. I rolled into Nelson last Friday with no connections, and then first thing the next morning I was out riding the amazing Coppermine loop with a bunch of locals in the MTB-Buddies group (and some Australia navy ring-ins). An amazing ride that climbs gently along an old rail line before kicking down the side of a mountain in a series of endless rocky switchbacks and dippers that had me laughing like a madman (until I got two punctures five metres apart and spent a a good few minutes cursing, before continuing with the laughing). That drops down into a bigring smash down an amazing piece of flowing singletrack that runs alongside a beautiful river and leaves you feeling like your tyres barely touch the ground.
Beers and burgers at the Sprig & Fern (and Three Berry Cider…oh yes!) followed, and resulted in that amazing post-ride glow that you just never quite get when you ride solo. Entertained by Matt and Julien who're two of the most hospitable and entertaining riders I've had the pleasure to meet, the pub became a permanent fixture in the daily schedule. The week progressed with more riding, including the lung-busting climb and vicious root-infested descent of the Black Diamond/Sunshine/Peaking Ridge trail which quite easily claims the title of least-relaxing and most mentally intense MTB ride I've ever done (but also a shitload of fun). A loop around Codgers MTB Park in the rain left me covered head to toe in mud and pine needles, and a trip out to the park at Kaiteriteri saw plenty of two-wheel slides and an insane number of switchbacks climbed and then descended, each one of them a joy. Things were wrapped up on Supplejack with Mike and his mates, with my lungs hanging out on the approach climb as I trailed behind guys riding Nomads with flat pedals and DH tyres as they chatted away, oblivious to the endless ascent. The ride to the bottom was wet, slippery, steep and technical switchbacks, one after the other that left me scratching my head and wondering how the guys in front even picked a line down. I slipped and tripped my way to the bottom, on foot more often than rubber, but thankfully surviving with my body in tact (if not my dignity).
Unfortunately the final ciders had to be drunk, the last burgers eaten and Nelson left to disappear through the back window of a bus. Behind were a fistful of amazing trail memories, a long list of rides for the next visit, and a bunch of new friends who turned a heap of good rides into great times.
Thanks guys!

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal and a survey from the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), companies seem to have a looser grip on their internal controls than they realize.
With recent high-profile stories like Hertz and Toshiba, it is clear that organizations need to increase the use of technology to automate all processes including reconciliation and certification, embed compliance, and ensure authorization and proper sign-offs with appropriate documentation are all digitally calculated, directed, and captured.
While overall restatement figures have leveled off through the years, the problem is always that you don't know what you don't know. If companies have not automated their internal controls – they simply don't know until it is too late what their total restatement exposure is.
And many CFOs and CAEs seem to be aware of the risk, yet automation still falls lower on the priority list than it should. Some key stats that have come out of the various recent reports:
- Only 38% of CAEs say their organizations are using technology at an "appropriate" level or higher.
- Audit-oversight inspections indicate 36% of company audits had internal-control deficiencies as of 2013, and this trend is on the rise.
- 80% of companies having to restate their financials previously thought their controls were effective.
This suggests some level of disconnect between the Controllers, who are struggling with a lack of automation and extensive effort to meet deadlines and KPIs, and the CFOs who trust that the human intervention delivering the earnings reports is enough.

We often present at ELT conferences and events. Just select the title below if you're looking for the handout or download from a talk or workshop you have attended.
This webinar looks at four kinds of classroom activities and materials for teaching pronunciation. Here are links to the resources mentioned in the talk:
The chart
A maze
The results of a short dictation, a simple and easily set up classroom activity, can offer teachers a wealth of information regarding learners' listening needs. It also brings listening into the classroom in such a way that it's open to inspection by the learners and teachers together.
Phonemic symbols – we love them or hate them, but often for the wrong reasons. For some, they are symbols of an elite accent which is not our own. But there is an alternative way of viewing them which is less prescriptive and more tolerant of accent variation. From this angle, they can be symbols of empowerment.
Pronunciation teaching can be a joy – it doesn't have to be all complicated theory and difficult symbols. With a playful and experimental approach, it can be a part of the lesson that your students look forward to most. In this session, we will take a look at some example activities designed to practise some of the pronunciation features that Spanish learners need to focus on.
Most learners today need English to communicate in a lingua franca (ELF) environment. The recognition of this fact has disrupted pronunciation teaching. What model can learners aspire to if not a 'native speaker' model? What can be considered 'correct' or 'incorrect'? In this talk, we will look at what is to become of pronunciation teaching these post-ELF times.
Collecting information about students' listening abilities and needs is a relatively easy thing to do, and access to such information can be used to inform and guide classroom practice. In this talk, we'll examine some classroom listening data, and share ideas on what it suggests for an emergent classroom listening syllabus.
In this practical session, I present simple tips on how to give more weight to pronunciation by exploiting the book more thoroughly and supplementing where necessary. The Pasta rap activity is here. The handout, slides and game can be downloaded below.
Thanks for coming to this talk! The empty worksheet templates and slides from the talk are downloadable at the bottom of this page. The worksheets and audio for the raps are here: The Brothers and Pasta.
Novice listeners often have a long way to go before they can enjoy the ability and agility of the expert listener. What problems do they experience and how can we nudge them in the right direction?
What is to become of pronunciation teachng in these post-ELF times? Thanks for coming to this talk. The slides can be downloaded below. The pronunciation errors diagnosis game can be found here.

Has anybody tried any powdered greens in the mix? I.e. spirulina, chlorella etc?
I tried it with matcha the other day; the bitterness of the tea really balanced out the sweetness.
Loving the ideas of using tea @JJMC and @Jessica_Invernizzi. How much tea are we talking about? Some time ago a customer said they used Chai tea but had to oversteep more than one tea bag. Are you find you are having to use a lot of tea? We should write some specifications down!
I add a small portion of Tesco's Frozen Mixed Fruits, it tastes divine. Four Huel's a day as part of a healthy weight gain alongside weight training. Feeling great!
I'm fortunate that my wife works in a tea brewery so I have loose leaf that I can infuse in small but concentrated quantities.
I use a tea ball as a measure anywhere between 3/4 full to full and infuse that with half a cup of fresh boiled water for 3-5 minutes. Pour it in, stir and away you go.
I have teas of all varieties but not going to try a smoky tea with Vanilla Huel - may get a sample of unflavoured and try it with that.
I use half a teaspoon of matcha powder mixed in a little hot water, and then I'll mix that with my serving of Huel in the blender
Great topic, thanks.
My experiments so far (all in 500ml + 3 scoops)
- Frozen blueberries 3 desert spoons tastes great
- Frozen cranberries same recipe as above - not as good as the blueberries which were more intense
- Cinnamon - 3 teaspoons - great taste , can be a bit grainy.
- Ginger - 3 teaspoons of powder - great taste think I should perhaps try cutting a piece of root ginger or getting a jar of ginger but I find the powder easier !
- Curry Powder - 3 teaspoons - certainly gives Huel a kick, I would do this again but not daily !
I think on my easy bucket list are marmite, coriander, mint, rosemary, cumin , all as dried herbs. On my fresh bucket list would be strawberries, raspberries, banana, but am also interested in kale and spinach…
Looking forward to more inspiration from your posts !
Blueberries give a great subtle flavouring. My fave is frozen bananas and strawberries tho!
I started trialing Huel last week and intend to move to using it for two meals a day from Monday onwards. At the moment, I have some vanilla Huel and have flavored it with instant coffee (good), fresh raspberries (OK) and cocoa (OK).
Looking forwards, I think that the lack of a savoury taste might get to me a little, so was wondering if anybody had tried adding Marmite to unflavoured Huel?
I use the Vanilla version and these are some of the recipes I've been using. I usually also always add 2 or 3 large ice cubes before blending;
1 Banana, 3 scoops Huel, 700ml water
1 Banana, 3 scoops Huel, 1 heaping tspn unsweetened cocoa powder, 700ml water
5 Strawberries, 3 scoops Huel, 600ml water
5 Strawberries, 3 scoops Huel, 1 heaping tspn unsweetened cocoa powder, 600ml water
3 scoops Huel, 1/2 tspn almond extract, 600ml water
3 scoops Huel, 1/2 tspn almond extract, 1 heaping tspn unsweetened cocoa powder, 600ml water
1/2 Banana, 3 Strawberries, 3 scoops Huel, 1/2 tspn almond extract, 1 heaping tspn unsweetened cocoa powder, 700ml water
2 tbs Nespresso, 2 tsp Truvia (natural sweetener), 3 scoops Huel, 600ml water
Will add more as I try more. Thanks for all of the other great ideas here.
Great stuff all of you, it seems blueberries are a real winner! Can someone just bite the bullet and try Marmite with UU Huel?! I feel it needs a blender and we don't have one in the office! @PhilipEatonRichards, curry powder sounds awesome, have you tried stock pots? Thank you @Clinty for the recipes there. Brilliant.
Send me a trial pack and I'll try it for you
@TimOfficeHuel "Stockpots" - that is an idea - thanks I am tempted by the Marmite challenge…
Spirulina is great!
i tried the following as an evening meal:
Frozen Spinach Cubes
Fill blender up to 500ml water
2 scoops Vanilla
3 teaspoons Madras curry powder
Warmed up in microwave
I count this as a successful trial, it's a curried green soup. Could be improved I think by using boiling water straight into blender, and unflavoured maybe, I am yet to try that though so next order.
@PhilipEatonRichards I've done some similar except that I prefer not to heat Huel too much. I find the texture gets too thick and cloying in the mouth.
Instead, I pour boiling water directly on to the frozen spinach and spices. I let this sit long enough to thaw the spinach, simultaneously cooling the water. I think pour in the Huel and blend.
@TimOfficeHuel I tried UU with Marmite a couple of times. I wouldn't say that I loved it, but it is definitely something I could eat every once in a while. The general umami-ness of Marmite is nice. Unfortunately the saltiness is a little overpowering.
I tried adding the Cocoa Delight Nakd bar into my Huel with 7g of Huel and 500mls of water and it was delicious … They make plenty of other flavours for the bars too, so lots of options
That's something I'd try…interesting…I love the Nakd bars.
Anyone used the my protein flavourings?
Only experiments so far have been:
- A pinch of cinnamon powder - very good
- A chunk of root ginger - also tasty

LEAP Celebrates 28 Years
Founded in 1992, LEAP has served over 10,000 children with thousands of college and high school student counselors. Check out this video for a quick recap!
Our Vision
The neighborhoods served by LEAP have child poverty rates ranging from 35% to 58%; levels 3 times higher than the Connecticut average of 15%. In the New Haven School District, only 31% to 34% of Black and Latinx students passed the English Language Arts standardized test, compared to 66% of White students (DataHaven 2019). Leadership, Education and Athletics in Partnership, Inc. (LEAP) was created in direct response to these challenges.
LEAP was founded in 1992 by leading educators, students and community activists in New Haven to provide highly vulnerable youth of color with educational and enrichment opportunities that are often inaccessible due to financial and social barriers. From the beginning, LEAP has used a multi-tiered mentoring model that focuses on young people of color as the solution, rather than the problem.
LEAP's mission is to develop the strengths and talents of young leaders who create and implement year-round, community and school-based programs designed to achieve positive outcomes for children living in high-poverty urban neighborhoods.

Skip slices of dry toast, pancakes, and crepes and double the flavor in your morning routine by spreading jelly all over your eggs. Though most of us are used to savory omelets, they're by no means exclusively married to mushrooms, spinach, and other traditional mix-ins. In this diner-inspired jelly omelet recipe (yes, it's a thing), eggs are dusted with powdered sugar and filled with your favorite fruit spread (if jelly is indeed not your jam, preserves, conserves, marmalade, mostarda, and curd work well, too) for a breakfast that tastes exactly like a dessert soufflé. If the fruit filling isn't sweet enough, drizzle honey over top.
Sweet Jelly Omelet
How to Make It
Vigorously whisk eggs and sugar together until well-combined.
Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour in your eggs. Shake the pan and stir the eggs with a spatula for 15 seconds. Use the spatula to smooth out the eggs and let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, or until set.
Carefully flip the omelet and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, spread an even layer of jelly over the eggs, and fold in half.

Cypress - insights on using for a project

I've used cypress before and did not have any sort of issues with the dust. It's been said that newer growth cypress isn't as weather resistant as the older stuff but my project is covered outdoors. As for working with it, I found it to be very nice to work. Sort of a "middle of the road" with regards to hardwood or softwood. Machines and sands very nicely. I've never really made a finished piece of furniture with it so I don't have any knowledge with how it finishes with poly or any sort of varnish but I have seen some great photos of finished pieces.
#2 posted 08-11-2017 02:08 PM
Thank you for sharing your experience. If I could, a followup question – as you noted, I had read that there is a difference between newer growth and older. Is there a way to determine this by looking at the wood? Or is this something that I would need to question the seller? Since I'll be using it for an inside project, it likely doesn't matter with regard to weather resistance, but it may impact the workability?
#3 posted 08-11-2017 02:51 PM
Given its water resistance, I used bald cypress for the base of by tool chest ... I found that it cut, planed, sanded easily with hand tools. I cannot speak to the use of power tools. Given that I work solely with hand tools I do not wear a dust mask. I did not experience any ill effects when working with this lumber.
#4 posted 08-11-2017 03:14 PM
Your tool chest looks great. Did you use any stain or is that the natural color? The pieces I looked at yesterday were relatively light in color but I expect that any finish will tend to darken the wood (which would be good for my application).
#5 posted 08-11-2017 03:18 PM
Afraid I can't answer that question. Just speculation, but it may be a bit like heart pine; how close the growth rings are to one another?? The seller may be a better source based since you're getting it from him.
#6 posted 08-11-2017 03:25 PM
Ok, will followup with the folks at the hardwood store. Still need to finalize my plan (currently is a rough sketch on some scrap paper) and try to calculate how much I'll need.
#7 posted 08-11-2017 03:33 PM
I'd assume all cypress is new growth these days. As mentioned, you can tell by how close the growth rings are.
#8 posted 08-11-2017 03:45 PM
I made a tree swing for my daughter out of cypress.
PROS: Weather resistant.
CONS: Extremely soft (will dent easily). It also splits easily. And will splinter. Can leave a fuzzy surface.
If I had to do it again I'd make it out of cherry. Stronger, better workability, and just as weather resistant.

Cypress is widely available in south Louisiana (where I am). I've used it for several projects, and as noted, it is workable with either hand tools or machine tools. I didn't have any splintering issues but I did use some old barn wood, so maybe old growth is less splintery. No issues with the dust when using machine tools either.

Thanks so much for all the replies. In addition to type, it sounds like I will need to get more details on the new vs old aspect.
#11 posted 08-11-2017 06:00 PM
If this is an indoor only project then "new" or "old" growth doesn't really matter, right? Most old growth that will be able to find will be "sinker" that was pulled off the bottom of a river. It will be pricey!!!
#12 posted 08-11-2017 06:30 PM
You are right that the weather resistant aspect isn't a concern. Wondering if the new growth results in a softer, or more likely to splinter, wood. I'm pretty "new growth" myself when it comes to woodworking so trying to avoid making a selection that will make the project unnecessarily challenging. I used hickory for a couple projects earlier this year and found it a bit more difficult than other wood I have used (e.g., walnut). But, each challenge is part of the learning process and helps develop the skills and techniques I need. Woodworking is a hobby, but really enjoy being able to build things to solve a "problem" rather than buy something and try to make it fit in a space. The LJ community has been so helpful and I appreciate everyone's help.

I was steered away from cypress for actual outdoor projects by the sawmill, he said it's mostly sapwood these days and will rot like anything. I went with red cedar instead because there's no fudging sapwood for heartwood. (only heartwood of any wood is rot resistant)

#16 posted 08-12-2017 03:51 PM
Yes, sap cypress will rot like most other woods. To get the rot resistance, you need to have heartwood.

You can tell heart and sap in the pics. Sap is usually bland, especially in young trees. My experience with cypress:
Machines well
Heart pine will be a lot harder than heart cypress.
It hates low angle planes.
Avoid shaving or hand planing quarter sawn areas. The early wood likes to tear out easy. You can use a card scraper with ok results if it's sealed.
The soft early wood really sucks up finish.
Works well with bench planes if you watch for reversing grain.
Sharp tools are a must. It likes to blow out.

Ive done quite a few projects out of cypress, plus I have cypress floors in my house. I don't recommend the floors as they are too soft. Most of my window and door trim is cypress. This platform bed I built, plus the head board are made of cypress. It is not stained and is sprayed with minwax polycrylic. The finish worked well. I definitely recommend the wood. Old or new growth won't make a difference in your project.

TheFridge pretty much nailed it, but I'd like to add…
1. I prefer both the look and the workability of cypress over cedar and cherry above them all.
2. when working with long stock or resewing 8/4 stock, cypress tends to move more than any other wood I've worked with after milling. Plan on milling and getting to your joinery right away or mill, let it rest for a couple of days and perform a second milling process.
3. I stick to Titebond 3 for glueing cypress for outdoors, but read somewhere that it's the better glue for oily woods like cypress and have had no issues with joints separating or delamination in Florida sun and humidity. But I've never tried Titebond original to say there is any difference with cypress.

#23 posted 08-13-2017 05:41 AM
Oh yeah. I forgot that about movement. Mill it. Then use it. Otherwise, don't stack it. Sticker it in between processes. It'll move like a SOB until you seal it. It's like a sponge.

The table is gorgeous. Thanks for the tips on handling the wood. Sounds like I'll need to plan what steps I can accomplish on a weekend if I decide to go with the cypress.
I only have a planer. I'm assuming I should plane and then get my edges cut and pics glued up in one day to give a flat top.
#25 posted 08-13-2017 07:57 PM
My brother is exactly opposite from me. I build things, whereas he tears down things. He takes down old buildings and saves the wood (heart pine and cypress) and the bricks for resale. If anyone wants his name and number for 100 to 150 year old cypress, let me know. I've taken some of that old wood of his and made a few things for his kids (coffee tables and such). Even the really old stuff is soft, and it was usually used in construction of houses and as a secondary wood. I've even seen really old cypress doors that were painted to look like higher grade woods.
He once gave me some cypress planks that were 20ish feet long and 20 inches wide. Probably out of the Louisiana swamps and harvested in the early 1900's. imagine the size of those trees.
Anyway, let me know if you want to contact him. He's in Natchez, MS.

It's been a few years since I bought some, but it was about $2. I was just in Branson this week and drive thru Springfield because of 65 being closed northbound. I saw a woodworking shop on chestnut I believe.

I've always liked working with Cypress. It machines well and is easy to work with hand tools as well. I built this door for a cabin a little west of Brunswick, GA. It is actually made from 5 1/2" wide boards, then the grooves were routed to make it look like larger planks before adding the distress and clear coating with spar urethane.
The mantle, book cases, and wainscoting are all Cypress or Pecky Cypress on this house. We built it on Sea Island, GA several years ago. I thought they looked better before the interior desacrator had the painter "white and gray" wash it.

Reed gets game ball after win
Ravens honor teammate after brother goes missing
Mon., Jan. 10, 2011
Ed Reed's Ravens teammates awarded him the game ball after their playoff win Sunday, then Baltimore's Pro Bowl safety boarded a private jet to return home to his family.
Reed said the gesture was one of many examples of the support the franchise has given him since his younger brother went missing in Louisiana two days ago.
Reed, who had four tackles in Baltimore's 30-7 AFC wild-card win over Kansas City, said family members and teammates helped him keep his mind on his job as questions remain about his brother, 29-year-old Brian Reed.
"My older brother called me and told me, 'Do what you do.' You handle your business; we'll take care of everything over here," Reed said.
Brian Reed has been missing since Friday, when he apparently jumped into the Mississippi River after being confronted by a deputy sheriff in response to a report of a stolen car.
Karen Reed, the mother of Ed and Brian Reed, said investigators found her son's shoes and jacket. She said the car the man ran from belonged to another brother.
Sgt. Dwayne LaGrange of the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office said authorities were unable to identify the man who jumped in the river. Authorities called off the search for him.
Reed said situations like his brother's disappearance were reminders that there were more important things in life than playing football.
"It's a child's game we play," Reed said. "It's not tough to focus on this stuff. Being around these guys helped me stay focused and going forward in life knowing God has got everything. I'm not worried about football. That's the least of my worries."
Asomugha's contract void
The final year in Nnamdi Asomugha's record contract with the Oakland Raiders is no longer in force because the Pro Bowl cornerback didn't reach certain incentives.
Raiders senior executive John Herrera confirmed Sunday that the contract was voided, making Asomugha a free agent. ESPN first reported the development.
Asomugha signed a $45.3 million, three-year contract in February 2009 that made him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history.
Asomugha's contract had a clause that said his contract would be voided if he didn't participate in more plays in 2010 than the previous year or improve his interception, fumble recovery or sack totals.
Asomugha missed two games with a sprained ankle and did not reach the playing time incentive.
Faulk, Sanders among finalists
Running backs Curtis Martin, Jerome Bettis and Marshall Faulk and cornerback Deion Sanders are among 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's class of 2011.
Martin, Bettis and Faulk are among the NFL's top 10 leading rushers, and are eligible for the first time, as is Sanders and offensive tackle Willie Roaf.
The other finalists announced are receivers Tim Brown, Andre Reed and Cris Carter, offensive lineman Dermontti Dawson, defensive linemen Richard Dent, Cortez Kennedy, Charles Haley and Chris Doleman, and tight end Shannon Sharpe, along with NFL filmmaker Ed Sabol.
Browns like Shurmur
The ties between St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and the Browns' front office can't be underestimated.
Several NFL executives have reportedly taken notice and identified those connections as potential deciding factors in the Browns' coaching search. On Sunday NFL Countdown, ESPN's Chris Mortensen said many league executives believe Shurmur might be the favorite to replace coach Eric Mangini, who was fired Jan. 3. The Browns formally interviewed Shurmur, 45, Friday at their headquarters in Berea, Ohio. They also interviewed Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, 49, Saturday in the Atlanta area. A league source said the Browns have an interview set up with New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, 48, sometime this week.
Wild-card ratings way up
The playoffs' first two games set a slew of milestones for NFL television ratings.
The Seattle Seahawks' 41-36 upset of the New Orleans Saints on NBC earned the highest preliminary rating for the early Saturday wild-card game in two decades.
The network said Sunday the two-game average of 19.4/33 was the best on Saturday since the 1994 season for the Lions-Packers and Chiefs-Dolphins games.

Gone are the days when hen parties meant a quiet night in with friends accompanied by a glass or two of red wine. These days, bachelorette's everywehere are celebrating in more ways than you could possibly imagine. This article focuses on one of those activities that 21st Century hens are including in their celebrations - hen party spa days.
QUICK LINKS : Stag & Hen Directory Stag & Hen Q&A Stag & Hen Ideas & Advice
What is a Spa Day?
Hen party spa days are ideal for any women out there who love to be pampered and feel a million dollars. From manicures and facials, to massages and fish pedicures, the range of treatments are vast and varied but each will have the same outcome, leaving you feeling refreshed and invigorated for hours and days to come. In addition to the treatments, pools, saunas, solariums and more can often be found providing a great way turning the whole thing from an activity that last a couple of hours to one that fills in the whole day.
Where Can We Do It?
For the ultimate hen party spa day, bespoke Health Spa's can be found everywhere these days - typically in luxurious countryside manor houses in idyllic and relaxing settings.
If you would prefer to stay in the city, various salons will offer a range of beauty treatments and often prove a little cheaper than their out of town counterparts.
In addition to bespoke salons and spas, many hotels and gyms offer a range a treatments to their guests these days, allowing you to combine an overnight stay or a workout with a little bit of pampering to boot.
Who is it Suitable For?
Age restrictions typically mean that hen party spa days are restricted to over 16's, though some salons and spa's will be able to cater for younger guests too. Alongside any age restrictions, be sure to consider the health complaints of any hens which may inhibit certain treatments from taking place too.
When Does it Take Place?
Whilst twilight treatments are available, hen party spa days are, as their name suggests, far more of a daytime activity. Most will finish around 6pm leaving you plenty of time to get ready for a night out on the town afterwards.
How Much Will it Cost?
Competition means great deals can easily be sought out these days and you will often find additional discounts for larger parties. Packages provide far better value for money than individual treatments, and many will throw in a meal at lunchtime too.
In terms of actual cost, hen party spa days will start around the €$£50 mark, but prices will rise sharply the more treatments you tack on, so keep a close eye on these.
Finally, spas are one of the mainstays of daily deal websites so be sure to keep an eye on them too in the run up to the hen party date too.

Using the kmenu.png icon as your kmenu icon.
Ready to go! Converting all icons! (about 15 seconds on an Athlon 64)

Often we see a renowned filmmaker and/or a movie star step off the pedestal that the entertainment business has set them upon in order to make something that not only is risky, but could also jeopardize all the goodwill that they have earned in their career. I put together a top ten list of these kinds of "passion projects" before, but one that certainly has left an impact over the last decade, on both the industry and on it's creator, is Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004). This year marks the 10th anniversary of this controversial film, which may be a milestone of celebration to some and a dark chapter for others who wish to forget. No matter what your opinion is on the movie, you cannot deny that it is one of the most monumental films of the new century, and it's legacy will probably be felt for a long time to come. But, for the most part, that legacy centers more around the controversy surrounding it and less about how it stands as cinematic art. No doubt Mel Gibson himself has been unable to shake away from the legacy of this film, and all the divisiveness surrounding it; and for better or worse, it will be the movie that defines his career in Hollywood. Looking at the ten years since The Passion's debut, we have learned a lot about how difficult it is to take holy texts and bring them to the big screen. Did Mel Gibson's film prove that biblical stories can indeed work in movie form, or did it show that it's better to keep religion out of entertainment?
In order to understand why Mel Gibson would risk his reputation over a single movie, you have to understand the conditions that led up to it's production. Long before The Passion, Mel tried to segway his acting career into directing, starting off with 1993's The Man Without a Face. This was a modest production that earned Mr. Gibson some good praise, but considering that Mel was mentored in his early career by visionary and ambitious Australian directors like George Miller (The Road Warrior) and Peter Weir (Gallipoli), he had something much more epic in mind. Naturally, his follow-up was the groundbreaking Braveheart (1995), which earned Gibson Oscars for both Best Picture and Best Director. After Braveheart, Mel returned to acting regularly, until the early 2000's, when he decided to bring a story near and dear to his heart to the big screen; the story of Christ's crucifixion. Raised in a ultra-traditionalist Catholic household, it was no surprise that Mel would look to scripture for inspiration, and while nobody doubted that he could pull it off cinematically, concerns about whether or not he should soon arose. It wasn't until the script was made public that the controversy around the film started, given that people interpreted it as anti-Semitic. Mel's project was dropped from all interested parties as a result and he ended up funding the project with his own money. The movie eventually made it to theaters, and despite all the controversy, or perhaps because of it, The Passion of the Christ became a box office phenomenon, earning $83 million on opening weekend and $370 million overall.
Despite what Mel intended for the film, it's aftermath took on a life of it's own. It became a focal point in what many people call the "culture war" in America, which in turn took the whole controversy surrounding the film and politicized it. The "culture war" is basically a term created by news media to frame political arguments related to pop culture, and show a cultural divide between the left and the right in America whether there is one or not. Given that The Passion was released in 2004, which was also an election year, the movie became sort of a rallying point for both political camps, with Christian conservatives seeing the movie as a powerful affirmation of their beliefs, while liberals were almost universally opposed to the movie, calling it religious propaganda. There were people who did break ranks from ideology and judged the film on it's own merits; Christianity Today, a faith-based publication, was sharply critical of the movie when it premiered, while left-wing film critics Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper both gave the movie two thumbs up, and stood by their reviews many years later. Nevertheless, reactions to The Passion divided America, probably more so than it should have. It became a political tool, which I believe is something that Mel never wanted it to be. Though Mr. Gibson leans to the right politically, he's never been exactly been a dyed-in-the-wool Republican icon; and for the most part, he's been sharply critical of all political parties his whole career. The movie becoming a lightning rod for this so-called "culture war" is probably the legacy that Mr. Gibson wishes the film had avoided.
But, regardless of intent, Mel Gibson had to have known that the movie was going to upset people no matter what. This is the risk that comes with adapting scripture to film. There always are skeptics out there who will dismiss biblical stories as nonsense, as well as others who take every word as, well gospel. Naturally, if you make an earnest attempt at bringing the film to the big screen, it will be scrutinized, especially if it strays from expectations. You see this in other modern attempts at adapting stories from the Bible. Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ was sharply criticized by people of faith for it's depiction of a "what if" scenario where Jesus chose life instead of sacrifice. In the movie, Christ still dies for man-kind's sins like he does in the Bible, but Scorsese let's the film explore the idea of how Jesus might of struggled with that choice. Opening up that dialog proved to be to much for traditionalist Christians, who condemned the movie as blasphemous. A similar controversy is brewing right now over Darren Aronofsky's Noah (2014), with Christians once again attacking a film over it's revisions. But despite all of the controversies, I believe that each of these films have more in common than people think. Again, I believe that it's all the nonsense about a "culture war" that has shaped the divided responses to these movies. Overall, they each represent an expression of faith on the part of their respective filmmakers, and each shows how the cinematic medium can find stories that are interesting and complex in a source as widely familiar as the Bible.
You may be wondering what I actually think of Mel Gibson's The Passion, especially looking back on it now over ten years. To put it simply, it's an easy film for me to respect than to admire. I do think that it is a triumph of film-making; showing Mel Gibson's unparalleled talent as a director. I am amazed that the movie was self funded and completed on just a $30 million dollar budget. It was released around the same time as big-budget epics like 2004's Troy and Alexander, and yet feels more authentic to it's time period than those two ever did, even with their $200 million plus budgets. The film is also gorgeously crafted, and shot by one of the world's greatest cinematographers, Caleb Deschanel. Actor Jim Cavizel shines in the role of Jesus, bringing new meaning to the phrase "suffering for his art." Where the film is at fault though is in it's story. I know it's odd for me to critique the "greaest story ever told," but my problem has more to do with Mel's interpretation. Like Mr. Gibson, I was raised Catholic (albeit in a less traditionalist church), so I know all the important points of the story by heart. Where the movie loses me is in how it's all focused. Mel just lets the events of Christ's crucifixion play out without grounding it in a narrative. Pretty much the story just goes through the paces, indulging more in the grim details than explaining exactly why they are happening. This leads to a lack of character development that sadly makes most of the supporting players feel less interesting. The only standouts in terms of character are Cavizel's Jesus, actress Maia Morgenstern's outstanding portrayal of the virgin mother Mary, and a chilling interpretation of Satan by Italian actress Rosalinda Celentano, who taunts Christ by taking the form of a mother figure.
I do remember seeing the movie with family back when it first premiered, as well as the hours long conversation we had about it afterwards. While we were moved by the movie, I don't think it had any kind of effect on our religious beliefs. To be honest, I've moved further away from the Catholic church in the years since, but not as a result of this movie. I still respect the risk Mel took to make it, and I'm glad the movie exists. As far as the anti-Semitic undertones that people claim the movie promotes, I have a hard time seeing them. Sure, there are people who see the depictions of the Hebrew high priests in the movie as problematic, but to me the priests depicted in the film are so far removed from modern day Jews that I don't even see the two as even remotely comparable. Not only that, but the movie does go out of it's way to portray the Roman guards as the true villains in Christ's story. If there is any criticism that's leveled against the film that has any merit, it's in the way the Gibson indulges in the suffering of Jesus in his final hours. The movie shows you every cut, gouge, and impaling that is inflicted onto Jesus during his execution, and it literally is the focus of the entire movie. It could be argued that Mel is obsessed with portraying suffering and torture on film in gruesome detail, much like he did with the ending of Braveheart, and that this misses the point of Christ's teachings in the first place. While I don't think Mel intentionally misinterpreted Biblical passages in order to indulge his own cinematic passions, the film nevertheless is defined more by it's gruesome elements than by it's uplifting message.
In the ten years since, people have been trying to interpret exactly what was meant by Mel Gibson's film, and what it means for the future of scriptural film-making. Unfortunately, Mel's personal life problems have clouded the reputation of the film, and Mel's drunken rants have given weight to the claims of antisemitism. Because of the sharply divided responses from people due to the ongoing "culture war," faith-based films have once again been marginalized into a niche market; choosing to preach to the faithful rather than have their movies appeal to all audiences. The recent success of the Christian film God is Not Dead (2014) is something that I see as being a negative result of the "culture war" division, because it portrays a "straw-man" argument that all Christians are morally right and that atheists are using education to corrupt people. The same argument can be made on the other side, when Hollywood adapted The Golden Compass (2007) to the big screen, which itself was a atheistic fantasy story that portrayed religion as an evil force. Religious films are best when they don't insult the intelligence of the viewer and actually challenges their beliefs, no matter what their faith is. Back in the Golden Age of cinema, Hollywood found a way to make movies that faithfully adapted scripture, while still maintaining a sense of entertainment. Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956) has stood the test of time because people of all faiths enjoy the spectacle that DeMille put into his production, while William Wyler's Ben-Hur (1959) is still beloved because of it's universal story of adversity against hatred. Like these films have shown, Biblical stories can work in cinema if one knows how to reach their audience correctly.
So, while Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ may have taken on a life of it's own beyond what the filmmaker intended, it nevertheless is still one of the most monumental films in recent memory. You bring this movie up in conversation and even 10 years later this movie will still stir up passionate feelings in people. While Mel has his own moral issues to deal with, I don't believe that he created this movie out of a need to condemn, but rather to explore his own feelings about his faith. I think he felt like there was a lack of worthwhile religious themed films out there and he sought to fill that gap in some way. I think the movie stands up over time, especially compared to the lackluster, church-funded movies that have come in it's wake. It's not the best faith-based movie I've seen, and certainly not one of Mel Gibson's best either; I still look at Braveheart as his masterpiece, and his Passion follow-up Apocalypto (2006) is an underrated gem. Even still, the best legacy this film could have made is that it sparked a renewed interest in making unique and personal Biblical films once again, which cinema has been severely lacking in. It took a while, but Aronofsky's Noah seems to be that film the first film since The Passion to actually make good on that promise, though of course time will tell if it lasts. As for The Passion of the Christ, as flawed as it may be, it nevertheless changed the way Biblical movies are seen in our modern culture and showed that taking a big risk has it's rewards in Hollywood; a legacy that I think serves the movie well over time.

Sure, wearing a shirt or buying a vinyl are cool ways to support the artists you like. They'll never go out of style. Buying a frontman's fragrance, though? That's a rare and exciting opportunity. Issues' Tyler Carter knows all about pushing boundaries with his multi-genre appreciating bandmates, so it makes sense that he changed the merch game as well. Carter released two signature fragrances – Stay Gold and Rebelle – under the LoveSexRiot brand. Both scents are perfect for those who identify on any point of the gender spectrum, are affordable, and have a sleek design. Smell as good as Issues' latest album 'Headspace' sounds!

Eschatology is the study of the end times
There are many perspectives when it comes to the end times. We try to remain open to discussion on this topic. The Lord has currently led us to the post-tribulation perspective. We feel that is what the bible teaches as far as the rapture of the church is concerned. We realize that they are some good points made by Amillennialism on certain points.
Millennial View
"We must now address the question of which millennial view to adopt. The issues are large and complex, but on close analysis can be reduced to a comparative few. We have noted in the course of this treatise that theology, like other disciplines, is often unable to find one view that is conclusively supported by all of the data. What must be done in such situations is to find the view that has fewer difficulties than do the alternatives.
The postmillennial view has much less support at the present time than it did in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This should not in itself persuade us to reject the position. We must, however, seek the reasons for the decline in postmillennialism, for they may be determinative of our conclusions. Here we should note that the optimism of postmillennialism regarding gospel proclamation seems somewhat unjustified. There has been a decline in evangelistic and missionary success. In parts of the world the percentage of the population actually practicing the Christian faith is very small. Further many Muslim countries are closed to Christian missionary endeavor of a conventional type. On the other hand, we must not be oblivious to the fact that in parts of the world, notably Africa and South America, Christianity is thriving, and is beginning to approach majority status. Even many formerly communist countries are now open to missionaries. Who can tell what reversals of fortune lie in store for the preaching of the gospel?
There are also strong biblical grounds for rejecting postmillennialism. Jesus' teaching regarding great wickedness and a cooling off of the faith of many before his return seems to conflict quite sharply with postmillennial optimism. The absence in Scripture of a clear depiction of an earthly reign of Christ without his physical presence seems to be another major weakness of this position.
This leaves us with a choice between amillennialism and premillennialism. The issue comes down to the biblical references to the millennium—are they sufficient grounds for adopting the more complicated premillennial view rather than the simpler amillennial conception? It is sometimes contended that the whole premillennial conception rests on a single passage of Scripture, and that no doctrine should be based on a single passage. But if one view can account for a specific reference better than can another, and both views explain the rest of Scripture about equally well, then the former view must certainly be judged more adequate than the latter.
We note here that there are no biblical passages with which premillennialism cannot cope, or which it cannot adequately explain. We have seen, on the other hand, that the reference to two resurrections (Rev. 20) gives amillennialists difficulty. Their explanations that we have here two different types of resurrection or two spiritual resurrections strain the usual principles of hermeneutics. The premillennialist case appears stronger at this point.
Nor is the premillennialist interpretation based on only one passage in the Bible. Intimations of it are found in a number of places. For example, Paul writes, "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power" (1 Cor. 15:22–24). Paul uses the adverbs ἔπειτα (epeita—v. 23) and εἶτα (eita—v. 24), which indicate temporal sequence. He could have used the adverb τότε (tote) to indicate concurrent events, but he did not do so.23 It appears that just as the first coming and resurrection of Christ were distinct events separated by time, so will there be an interval between the second coming and the end.24 We should also observe that while the two resurrections are spoken of explicitly only in Revelation 20, there are other passages that hint at either a resurrection of a select group (Luke 14:14; 20:35; 1 Cor. 15:23; Phil. 3:11; 1 Thess. 4:16) or a resurrection in two stages (Dan. 12:2; John 5:29). In Philippians 3:11, for example, Paul speaks of his hope of attaining "the resurrection from the dead." Literally, the phrase reads "the out-resurrection out from among the dead ones" (τὴν ἐξανάστασιν τὴν ἐκ νεκρῶν—tēn exanastasin tēn ek nekrōn). Note in particular the prefixed preposition and the plural. These texts fit well with the concept of two resurrections. Accordingly, we judge the premillennial view to be more adequate than amillennialism."
Erickson, M. J. (1998). Christian theology. (2nd ed., pp. 1222–1224). Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House.
"When all considerations are evaluated, there are several reasons why the posttribulational position emerges as the more probable:
1. The pretribulational position involves several distinctions that seem rather artificial and lacking in biblical support. The division of the second coming into two stages, the postulation of three resurrections, and the sharp separation of national Israel and the church are difficult to sustain on biblical grounds. The pretribulational view that the prophecies concerning national Israel will be fulfilled apart from the church and that, accordingly, the millennium will have a decidedly Jewish character cannot be easily reconciled with the biblical depictions of the fundamental changes that have taken place with the introduction of the new covenant.
2. Several specifically eschatological passages are better interpreted on posttribulational grounds. These passages include the indications that elect individuals will be present during the tribulation (Matt. 24:29–31) but will be protected from its severity (Rev. 3:10), descriptions of the phenomena that will accompany the appearing of Christ, and the reference to the meeting in the air (1 Thess. 4:17).
3. The general tenor of biblical teaching fits better the posttribulational view. For example, the Bible is replete with warnings about trials and testings believers will undergo. It does not promise removal from these adversities, but ability to endure and overcome them.
This is not to say that there are no difficulties with the posttribulational position. For example, there is in posttribulationism relatively little theological rationale for the millennium. It seems to be somewhat superfluous.43 But all in all, the balance of evidence favors posttribulationism."
