Thank you, gentlemen, for the terrific workmanship. Dave and I were extremely impressed.
Brian re-assessed the house (I am not sure the initials) but initial assessment was 3600 after the insulation – down to 1700! More than half!
All-in-all, it was an extremely positive and pleasant experience having "The Team" insulate the house.
We will definitely highly recommend S & E Insulation [a division of Allrite Home & Remodeling].
--Charlene & Dave
"Jordan and S & E Insulation Team,
After having an energy audit done on my house, I found that many repairs were needed. S & E Insulation was one of the companies I found on the Internet to do the repairs. They were the only company that followed through with a home inspection after my initial inquiry. I could tell during this visit that Jordan was knowledgeable about everything in the report. He arranged for his crew to seal the attic, re-vent the fans, and add insulation to the attic as well as to the walls of the house. His crew was neat, courteous and efficient. The report from the energy audit's post-inspection was excellent. Thanks for a job well done!
Thanks again Jordan"
--Jean Reif
.. I would also like to tell you how happy I am with the basement foam air sealing, and the cellulose insulation in the porch ceiling!! Luis and Ken were the best! They arrived early (at 8:30) and got right to work. They reviewed my expectations, made use all of my property was protected with tarps, and they worked non-stop from 8:30 until the job was completed around 3:00. They did not take a break or a lunch - which was really more than I ever expected..."
--Julie O.
Just wanted to say thanks for the neat professional job performed by Terry and Luis. Done ontime and within the estimated schedule. We are very pleased with the result. Thanks Again."
--Chris and Jerry S., Germantown, Wisconsin
"S&E Insulation did the work outlined in our Focus on Energy audit a month ago. They scheduled a day and half to cut in 25 soffit vents, air seal our attic, seal our gable vent, blow in another foot of insulation and air seal/insulate the cantilevers in our basement. The S&E crew got all the work done in one day. They were professional, fast, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves. Throughout the project they let us know what was happening. They asked if they could play music because they knew I was working from home that day and wanted to minimize any distractions to myself. Two supervisors stopped out to ensure the project was going as planned. So far, our single story 1970 ranch is far less drafty and much more quiet than before. The follow-up on the energy audit found that our house is much more efficient than estimated. I would definitely recommend S&E for any insulation work you need done."
-- Mike K. ( Yelp Review with 5 Stars !)
"Our experience with Allrite Home & Remodeling (S & E Insulation) was very positive. We had a thorough discussion about our needs with Jordan who helped us understand exactly what steps to take to make it happen. He was available to answer all our questions and made sure we were comfortable with the plan. It is nice working with a family oriented business. Their whole team is excellent to work with. They are knowledgeable about what it takes to meet your needs and expectations. We are continuing to work with them on more projects and will refer them to friends in the future."
-- Steve L., Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
"Dear Jordan, Crew & Company,
We wish to thank you for your large contribution to make our home much warmer and I believe quieter.
Your company S & E was great to do business with. The work was accomplished and on the days and within the est. time limits given. Your crew functioned in an efficient and pleasant manner. We enjoyed working with them and you also.
The preparation and clean up was done very well and concern for our home was taken seriously by the crew.
I am also including that we did have a minor mishap ( or step) and did have a small amount of damage to a ceiling (which can happen due to the work that the company does) that was also dealt with in a pleasant, professional, and timely manner and repaired to the original state.
We would recommend S & E Insulation/Allrite Home & Remodeling to anyone wishing a good job done.
Once again thank you to you and the crew you employ."
-- Gerald and Bev L., Burlington, Wisconsin
"Your workers were absolutely as professional as can be, worked so hard start to finish. And, also did a great job of cleaning up.
As a Realtor, you can bet that that I will be referring S&E Insulation.
--Tom C, Elm Grove, Wisconsin
"Good Morning Sheila,
Now that work on my attic has been completed and we know what good work your team does our board is hoping to get a quote for doing attic inspections in our building. We have had this done in the past with no results ..... meaning we haven't received feedback from the inspections regarding potential problems, only that everything is fine and then whoops .... someone has a leak!
We have 14 Units on our 3rd floor ... all with attics. Taking mine out because we know it's PERFECT .... we would be looking at inspections of 13 attics. What we are looking for is feedback regarding potential issues and recommendations. We are also interested i knowing how often this should be done ... Is this something your company would do or has done?
Also, your electrician called me but caught me in the grocery store without my calendar. I am supposed to call him back but I had so many calls that day I don't know which number was his. Would you please forward me his number so I can give him a call?
Thanks for your valuable feedback! "
-- Holly
" I recently hired S&E to do an insulation project at my home at the end of February. I am totally impressed with the company so far. I interviewed several other companies prior to hiring S&E. My sales rep, Nick, answered every question I asked and took time to explain his answers in detail. Once I signed the contract, I was contacted by Sheila who is now my primary contact person. Sheila also contacted me to make sure I understood everything S&E would be doing. OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!"
-- Bonnie K
"Overall everything went well. Work took 3 days, which was a bit longer due to an unforeseen issue with the structure of the house. Work crew did a good job working around this issue and cleaned up well after work was complete. Energy auditor doing the post-test said he hasn't seen foam sealing of box sills done so well and neatly before. As expected, some dust and insulation did accumulate in the house, but was easily cleaned. "
-- Jay F., Milwaukee, WI
"They did a great job , neat , and even did more than I expected. Very pleased."
-- Adam B of Elm Grove WI
"Excellent. Finished ahead of schedule. Cleaned up excellent. Employees: Louis, Juan , Percy ,Pedro excellent workmanship."
-- CAROL S of South Milwaukee
"We used them in late 2011 after receiving the results of an energy audit. They built knee-walls in our attic to contain insulation in the low parts of the attic. They drilled holes into the floor and blew in insulation. Additionally, they blew insulation into our first-floor walls which had no insulation (Shorewood home built in 1935). First off, we've noticed the difference in our house's ability to retain heat in the winter. The energy usage drop was noticeable. Second, they were neat, clean, and excellent workers. The owner came out and gave us a very experienced and detailed run-down. It just felt good, and even though their estimate was mildly higher than another local company, the personal service felt worth the few extra dollars. It paid off, because when a piece of equipment scratched our wood floors in our upstairs hallway, he readily acknowledged that it was probably caused by them and footed the bill to have the floors re-done. When someone stands by their work that way, you know they are good. I highly recommend them."
-- Scott Y in Milwaukee... via YELP reviews
"S&E Insulation crew,
I want to take a few moments and thank the crew of S&E Insulation for a great job. I have spent the last few years trying to stop issues of leaks, due to poor insulation and sealing. I had other contractors tell me what I needed to do, which I did what they recommended, but after the work was done, I still had issues. Other contractors kept blaming other contractors, for why I was having issues. So I found myself again, meeting many contractors, all with different ideas how to stop my leaks. I was very frustrated not know what to do anymore. Randy came to my home and was very honest. Randy told me he could give me his recommendations, but he does not know if would take care of my problems. Randy suggested an energy audit to be performed to get a good understanding where the issues are. I did that audit and had the report forwarded to S&E Insulation to give me a quote on what it would take to fix the areas of concern. I went forward with the repairs that were recommended by the audit, and now I have a dry home. The crews of S&E Insulation were very courteous and did a great job of cleaning up.
Thank you for a job well done."
-- Paula
"Dear Randy,
Just wanted to make comments on the crew that insulated our home just recently.
They - ALL- were absolutely wonderful. Accommodating, pleasant, respectful just to mention a few! We are satisfied with their workmanship and the completed project.
Especially want to mention how nice and helpful Luis and Pedro were, but all of your crew was outstanding. We were happy to have them in our home.
Please relay to them- The Purple Finches, Mom and Dad had three babies who successfully left their next in the last 3 days. All healthy and strong, flying on their own. Thank you for being considerate of them."
-- Floria and Geore D.
"Attn: Nick Schliepp,
I wish to thank the three young gentlemen that installed the box-sill insulation in my home yesterday.
On completing their work, they left the basement very clean. But most of all, I was impressed by their politeness and courtesy.
Your company has good reason to be very proud of the quality of its employees.
-- Natalie R.
"Dear S&E Insulation,
From the initial meeting to the finished product, your company has excelled. The price was reasonable and the work was superb. Thank you for working us into your busy schedule. I would recommend your company to anybody."
-- Randy S.
"Dear S&E Insulation,
I want to compliment Pedro and the rest of the team for doing a great job of insulation my 123 year old house. It passed the Milwaukee Energy Efficiency test with flying colors. I recommend S&E Insulation for any insulation projects.
-- Mike B. Milwaukee
"Just wish to compliment all of the management and staff for a good job well done. Randy, Nic and the entire crew could not have been more professional and thoughtful to us and our home. I only wish I had all of the crew's name to thank them. Be very proud of not only your work but of your staff."
-- Linda L.
"Dear S & E,
Very Much appreciate the job the guys did. Can feel the insulation results. They left the site cleaner then when they came."
--Pat M.
"This company was called to insulate a 3 bedroom ranch built in 1953. They provided a plan based on an energy audit. All the trouble-some areas were targeted with a combo of foam and cellulose. Venting to prevent moisture was also dealt with.
To begin with, our salesperson, Jordan was knowledgeable, polite, and extremely experienced. Prior to contacting S&E, two other insulators were contacted for quotes and information. Although less expensive these firms were not aware of power company support or rebates and they only offered blown insulation and didn't point out the importance of air sealing. Check out "you tube" videos before you search for a contractor. Simply adding insulation could add problems for you.
The S&E crew was prompt and efficient. Everyone knew their job responsibilities and got to their task ASAP. The crew functioned as a team and everyone seemed able to answer questions. There was no need to have Jordan at the job site after the first morning - his directions to the crew were concise and followed without question. Pedro and the crew foreman could describe their work and the work of others to my complete satisfaction. As the foreman (with 17 years experience) put it "I do every job with the same interest as if it were my home". If I had a question, they were happy to provide answers. Everyone was friendly but professional. Two day job was done in less than 1 and 1/2 days - but done without shortcuts and completed thoroughly. It was amazing to me that people could crawl around in dirty attics and keep a positive attitude along with pride in the work they do. I managed a team of 98 professionals in my past, and based on this experience I would judge this group to function better than any you will find. The cost of this job may seem somewhat high - but remember, the cheap man pays twice. In the case of S&E, you get what you pay for. "
-- Gary W.
"Did a great job adding insulation to the attic and cleaned up the mess. The price was reasonable and the men were very friendly and professional."
-- Diane F.
"You are a great man. Not only did your company do a great job on my house and garage roofs you all did a great job on my gutters as well. You also helped me to understand my insurance claim. You are a great business man. Allrite home&remodeling, you all have one honest and hard working young man. *******"please never change!" and THANK YOU for all your help. If anyone out there is in need of a roof or what ever this company offers, you will be alright with Allrite Home & Remodeling and I aint kidding, keep up the great work. Proud to know that a business exist like this, I wish I could hire you all for everything I may need."
-- Katrina G.
"Pleasure to work with, very professional and courteous. Consistently kept me informed of scheduling, work performed and estimated time of completion. Very responsive to my request. Work performed was top notch."

The following post contains affiliate links – read our full disclosure here.
It's no secret that my family loves to hike and get outside. We have a blast and feel our best when we are out enjoying nature. While nature in itself is very entertaining – sometimes it is even better if you have a guide or nature journal to help explain exactly what you are surrounded by.
In this post I have listed 10 great nature guides for kids. Even if your kid isn't a nature lover YET – they will be by the time they enjoy these books and journals. Some of these we have used ourselves and others I have experienced through friends and walking book store shelves. They all have great things to offer.
1. Fun With Nature Take Along Guide
There are multiple books in the Fun With Nature series depending on where you are located or what you are interested in! Their main book Fun With Nature has great descriptive words and images of all the things you could see on most nature trails. The pictures are great and the activities are even better. They also have specific nature guides for kids on trees, wildflowers, birds, bugs, and much more! You really can't go wrong with this series!
2. Into The Field Guide: A Walk In The Woods
This book is a great size for sticking in your back pack or your child's back pack! It is a simple to read and look through field guide that introduces many of the things your child may see on a walk through the woods – from wildlife and footprints to berries and fungi! This is a beautiful guide you and your children will love. They also sell Into The Field Guide: A Walk On The Beach.
3. Backpack Explorer: On The Nature Trail: What Will You Find?
I love this nature guide for kids because of its many hands on activities – it even comes with a mini-magnifying glass. This book contains guide information, checklists, pictures, and stickers. Its a fun hands-on book for your young explorer!
4. Survivor Kid: A Practical Guide To Wilderness Survival
This one is great for the older kids in your group! As my oldest daughter has started to age and become more experienced with hiking, her interest in actual wilderness survival has gone up as well! This book is a great start to explaining outdoor skills that could last your child a life time!
5. National Geographic Kids Bird Guide of North America, Second Edition (Science & Nature)
Have a young one who loves birds? This is the book for them. This nature guide for kids works great as a first introduction to bird watching with the beautiful photos National Geographic has come to be known for and easy to read details on the birds in the book. A great starting point for any young bird watcher.
6. Small Adventures Journal: A Little Field Guide for Big Discoveries in Nature
I just can't get enough of this fun journal and field guide combo. It has tons of great activities that are presented in clear and interesting ways. Your kiddos will love the activities in this book from drawing and writing to observing nature all around them. This is truly a great purchase for any nature loving family!
7. The Nature Connection: An Outdoor Workbook for Kids, Families, and Classrooms
This book is PACKED FULL of activities to do with young explorers. You could spend so much time outside just completing this one book! I know this book is used by a lot of home school families as a nature companion and they love it. I believe a website is also provided where you can print off more pages if needed for multiple kids!
8. The Tree Book For Kids and Their Grown-Ups
Confession time!!! Before I started hiking with my kids I was SO UNEDUCATED about trees! Then my kids kept asking me what different kinds of trees were and I continuously had no idea. It was just a bit embarrassing. Still, I embraced this issue and we have started learning about trees together. My kids get to see that even adults can learn new things and this tree nature guide for kids is beautiful!
9. Ultimate Bugopedia: The Most Complete Bug Reference Ever (National Geographic Kids)
Do you have a bug lover? My four year old is constantly catching every bug she can – whether I like it or not! Trust me, I don't really like it at all. Yet, who would I be to stop her love and fascination for the tiny things in life? They say if we want our kids to love the earth, we must first teach them to love the worm. Needless to say this book is right up her alley!
10. Smithsonian Kids: A Walk in the Forest (Wheels of Wonder)
This list would not be complete without this beautiful board book for toddlers and preschoolers. This book is beautiful from cover to cover with a fun spinning wheel and durable build. Your smallest explorers will love reading through this with you in your favorite nature location.
You really cannot go wrong with any of these books and I promise purchasing them is worth every dollar when you find yourself outside learning and exploring right alongside your children!

J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" Continues In Upcoming Game
Posted by Matt Singer on
Our man on the video game beat, Evan Narcisse sent along this tip because he seems to think I'm a huge nerd who likes "Star Trek" and video games (he is correct, by the way). Earlier today Paramount Digital announced they'll be formally unveiling a new "Star Trek" game at next week's annual E3 video game expo. And not just any "Star Trek" game. This title's notable for two big reasons: it's the first co-op action game in the "Star Trek" universe, meaning nerds like me will finally get to play as both Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, and it's also set in the continuity established by J.J. Abrams terrific kinda-sorta-reboot. Even better, the game features a story written in collaboration with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, screenwriters of said Abrams' "Star Trek" movie, along with his "Mission: Impossible III" and many episodes of the great TV series "Alias" (allegedly, they also wrote the first two "Transformers" movies, but I think that's just an Internet urban legend).
From Paramount's press release:
"'Star Trek' challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced," said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment. "Working closely with the 'Star Trek' filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive 'Star Trek' gaming experience."
Let's hope so; the bar for good "Star Trek" gaming experiences is not set very high. As a young "Star Trek" dork, I lost way too many hours to the old "Star Trek" Nintendo game, which was, shall we say, a less than satisfying experience. A quick scan of the rest ofthe world of "Star Trek" video games doesn't reveal a whole lot of memorable experiences. There have been a ton of good "Star Wars" games ("X-Wing," "TIE Fighter," "Super Star Wars," "Rogue Squadron," "Lego Star Wars" and more), but "Trek" gamers haven't had much to hang their Tribble fur hats on. I guess my favorite "Trek" game is "Star Trek: Voyager – The Arcade Game", where you sit inside the cabinet with a phaser and shoot the hell out of wave after wave of Borg baddies. Not exactly the most faithful replication of the "Star Trek" viewing experience, but damn satisfying after a long day of work at a dead-end retail job (he says, with a weary sigh, from experience).
This new "Star Trek" game comes from up-and-coming developer Digital Extremes, who made the "Bioshock 2" multiplayer as well as the upcoming "The Darkness II." No word yet whether Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto will be voicing their respective characters; maybe we'll find that out at E3. Regardless, you'll be able to set your phaser to stun on PS3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC some time next summer.
Psyched for a Kirk-and-Spock "Star Trek" game? Tell us about it in the comments below or on IFC and Facebook!

This is a relatively new range. CYA has been in place for a few years, their indoor gun range has been open for about a year now, I believe.
I paid a visit awhile back. Fees are reasonable--in line with what other indoor ranges charge in the area. No membership is required, but if you wish, they have several membership levels which provide tiered benefits depending on the level selected.
Everything functioned when I was there. The ventilation was nice--no black crud in my nose after shooting for about an hour or so.
The main set of lanes goes out to about 20 yards, but I believe there are a few lanes on the other side of the range that are a full 25 yards.
I had no complaints. It's a nice place to shoot.

In Washington's case, it wasn't just a speaking gig, it was the chance to speak at TEDxWomen. She used the invitation phone call from conference director Pat Mitchell to explain:
She called and said, 'I'm going to be running TED Women and I would love for you to speak.' And I said, 'You know, gosh, you know what, Pat, I really appreciate the invitation, but I just don't know really what I would say, I'm not sure what my story would be, I think I should decline, and maybe when I'm ready I'll come do that.' And Pat said to me, 'Kerry, I've worked with TED for a really long time. No man has ever said to me, I'm not ready to speak, but for TED Women you are part of a long list of women who have denied me by saying they're not ready.' And I realized that what that meant is that we as women put ourselves in this situation of feeling like we can't take a risk, like in order to step out there we have to be perfect, because we're scared that if we don't say the right thing, or do the right thing, that we'll reflect poorly on ourselves and our community, whether that community be women, people of color, both.
So sometimes, we don't step out there. And I'm telling on myself, because I didn't [speak], even after Pat said to me, 'This is so unfortunate, this is so wrong, women have to feel comfortable speaking out and stepping up, and standing in their light, and owning their voice.' I said, 'Yeah, you're right. Good luck.' I don't do that often, but when I do, I know that it's not good for me, and it's not good for other women.
What can you learn from this famous speech?
- Personal experience, used judiciously, can make a speech sing: Not every minute of your personal story can be included in short remarks, nor should it be. And not every speech needs a personal story. But used judiciously, a personal moment can make a speech sing. In this case, it works because it's something the audience could not have seen or known previously, making it more surprising.
- Be real: Adding to that surprise was the ending: She knew it would be better to say yes, and she still turned down that TED talk. You may not be getting offers to do TED talks, but I'll bet you've turned down at least one speaking opportunity that you knew you should have said yes to. That becomes the fulcrum for her message, and it's a strong one--much more effective than if she'd decided to do the talk, because the rest of us can relate to it.
- Share an unlikely call to action: Washington could have urged women simply to do more public speaking, but her call to action gets to those inner actions and feelings that come before you say 'yes' to a speaking gig: "We need to be willing to be uncomfortable, to be flawed, to be imperfect, to own our voice, to step into our light, so that we can continue to inspire other people and employ other people, and make room for more and more voices and presence." It's a two-step call -- we need to do this, so that we can do that -- and a more complex version of the form.

Washington Monument completed 1884
On this day in 1884, in Washington, D.C., workers place a nine-inch aluminum pyramid atop a tower of white marble, completing the construction of an impressive monument to the city's namesake and the nation's first president, George Washington. As early as 1783, the infant U.S. Congress decided that a statue of George Washington, the great Revolutionary War general, should be placed near the site of the new Congressional building, wherever it might be. After then-President Washington asked him to lay out a new federal capital on the Potomac River in 1791, architect Pierre L'Enfant left a place for the statue at the western end of the sweeping National Mall (near the monument's present location).
It wasn't until 1832, however–33 years after Washington's death–that anyone really did anything about the monument. That year, a private Washington National Monument Society was formed. After holding a design competition and choosing an elaborate Greek temple-like design by architect Robert Mills, the society began a fundraising drive to raise money for the statue's construction. These efforts–including appeals to the nation's schoolchildren–raised some $230,000, far short of the $1 million needed. Construction began anyway, on July 4, 1848, as representatives of the society laid the cornerstone of the monument: a 24,500-pound block of pure white marble.
Six years later, with funds running low, construction was halted. Around the time the Civil War began in 1861, author Mark Twain described the unfinished monument as looking like a "hollow, oversized chimney." No further progress was made until 1876–the centennial of American independence–when President Ulysses S. Grant authorized construction to be completed.
Made of some 36,000 blocks of marble and granite stacked 555 feet in the air, the monument was the tallest structure in the world at the time of its completion in December 1884. In the six months following the dedication ceremony, over 10,000 people climbed the nearly 900 steps to the top of the Washington Monument. Today, an elevator makes the trip far easier, and more than 800,000 people visit the monument each year. A city law passed in 1910 restricted the height of new buildings to ensure that the monument will remain the tallest structure in Washington, D.C.–a fitting tribute to the man known as the "Father of His Country."

Contre Jour HD
Command a shape-shifting environment in Chillingo's newest puzzle game.
Chillingo's Storm in a Teacup is a tough act to follow, but developer Mokus appears to be up to the task. The Russian designer teamed with the publisher to create Contre Jour, a stylish and challenging App that is both a platform and puzzle game.
In it, you must guide the little prince Petit (essentially a blob with an eyeball) through 60 imaginative levels. The goal? Reach the end of a stage while collecting strategically placed blue orbs along the way; the more orbs you grab, the better the score.
How you play is what makes the game so intriguing. There is no traditional d-pad or face buttons. Instead, you manipulate the environment. Pressing one of the platforms, for instance, creates a hill that sends Petit tumbling to the ground (or ledge) below.
That's an easy way to set things in motion, but you may also need to make use of tentacles that (when pressed) attach to Petit and swing him through the air. Finally, air pockets blow the character all over the place, forcing you to think a couple steps ahead. No surprise, it's all in the timing.
Meanwhile, the game looks strikingly good, with black and white environments reminiscent of last year's critically acclaimed Xbox 360 Arcade title, Limbo. Just a lot of black and gray, though Mokus chose to mix things up with different colors in later stages.
All of this should make Contre Jour one of the App Store's biggest hits when it arrives for iPhone and iPad this July. We'll let you know if it's worth a download shortly following its highly anticipated release.

I'll begin with the women since they were the first team to take the pitch Saturday. The UT Dallas Women's Rugby Club arrived in Austin with 10 players ready to challenge the day, but during warm ups Marie tweaked her back and was unable to play in the first match against Sam Houston St. But lucky for us UTSA came with 5 players, so we readily allowed them to play with us.
The match was played with a lot of spirit and pace, the more experienced Sam Houston St (SHSU). women showed that they would not be kept out of goal. The combined UT women actually showed more determination in the first half keeping SHSU down to only 2 Trys at the end of the first half.
The second half after making 4 substitutions so that everyone got a chance to play, it was all SHSU in the second half, scoring 5 Trys, but there were moments of UT brilliance from a number of girls. Alyssa a couple of times found a gap and took off only to be caught from the side by a speedy wing. Racheal and Vic found that they could take on the SHSU ladies as well as the guest players we had from UTSA (Haley and Makaila both showed flashes of brilliance).
Our 2nd match of the day was against a new club Angelo St. University (ASU), this match proved that if the field were level in experience our UT girls could take advantage of the situation. Playing tough defense against some very good runners, the combined UT girls played fantastic. Then when they got the ball they showed that they could attack with the best of them. In this match Marie got her back feeling pretty good and she took the field in the second half and that was all she needed. Marie ran in 2 Trys in this half and Rachael scored her first Try. The combined UT side won their first match of the young season.
The girls of ASU and combined UT side agreed to play one more match against each other so that they could have that many more games under their belts, but this time it wasn't going to be the combined UT girls to repeat with another victory. This time the ASU girls discovered that running hard and being in support meant a wider open field in which to run and run they did. They managed to score a few more Trys than the combined UT side, but on the bright side. Alyssa scored her first Try of the season and converted it and Kera (UTSA) ran in a Try of her own.
On the whole the women played very well and with more practice and games, they will become a much better club and team.
The women that played are Vic (prop), Hailey (UTSA - hooker), Marisa (UTSA - prop) Christina (prop), Josey (lock), Laura (UTSA - lock), Lorraine (lock), Mel (lock, wing), Alyssa (scrumhalf), Rachael (flyhalf), Judit (inside center), Makaila (UTSA - outside center), Kera (UTSA - outside center), Marie (wing), Shiva (wing)
The Men took the field against UTSA and for a number of them it was their first time playing against another colored jersey. UTSA came out hard and wanted to show UTD up, but with the hard working forwards lead by Maika, Daniel, Eric and Ryan winning all kinds of rucks. UT Dallas was able to win the first match of their tournament. Trys scored by Michael and Brian, then Brian converted his try to seal the win.
The men's second match of the day was against Baylor, a much bigger side for the guys, but they did play well against Baylor. Their defense was at times spot on, especially when the team needed them to be tight, they were. But it was in open field that allowed Baylor to score points against inexperienced and undersized wings. Something we will work on. The lone Try was scored by first year player Chad - good job son.
The 3rd match of the day was against St. Edward's, while the weather was better for us than the last time we faced St. Edward's. This time it was a solid running attack from St. Edward's that provided a lop sided score (too much to not enough). But this was something the lads could take home, by working hard in practice and eliminate mental errors, we can compete with anyone. Time is on our side, but that time is quickly getting smaller and smaller.
This coming weekend both the men and women kick off their league play. The UT Dallas Women travel to Ft. Worth to play TCU at Gateway Park. Time is still to be determined, TCU has yet to send me that info, but when I get it I will post it.
TCU has always had difficulty recruiting and if they have only 7 players, UT Dallas will give them 3 or more players to get as many girls playing as possible. This is a luxury that we have at UT Dallas, we want as many girls getting as much experience as possible, so when we need them, they'll be ready to go.
TCU may have trouble recruiting but the players they do have are quick and knowledgeable, so it will be up to us to have the girls prepared to attack, defend, support and play wide open rugby.
The guys travel to Longview to play Letourneau, in a somewhat misunderstanding. The kick off will be played under the lights of Letourneau University at 7:00pm. Letourneau has been up and down the past couple of seasons, but their coaches will have them prepared to take the field and they will be gunning for the lads of UT Dallas. They like many of the clubs in the Lonestar Conference want to be the one to hand UT Dallas their first league loss, but that won't happen if the guys play within themselves and play as a unit.
I will be posting directions to both the girls and guys matches along with kick off times.

Ferrett made some flase statments:
Luke 10
25. On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
26. "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
27. He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
28. "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." (NIV)
There is no mention of trinity, no mention of blood atonement, no needed confession that Jesus is Lord nor a belief that he is the son of God. Not even a confession or belief that Jesus died for his sins is necessary.
this is false because I have said nothing about my views on how one is saved, and certainly nothing abou Trinity being necessary to salvation.
Threre is a further problem with using this as a proof text to understand salvation. It was said before Jesus died on the cross. He could hardly have todl the guy, "just hand around a couple of years and then join the chruch after I raise from the dead." He's speaking of salvtion under the old covenant. I'm sure the same principles apply, but it would be meaningless to the audience to suddenly start talking about his death on the cross. They would go "you died on the cross? How could you be here now?" another one woudl say "he got better." (Monthy Phython humor)
The thing is there is no real standard descrition of a soterolgoical formula in the NT. There are many such passages where one might use them as a modle for how to officiate at someone's salvation getting, but there is no real verse that says "here's the excat thing to say and do."
Jesus himself said baptize everyone (into the names of the trinity)
Paul says confess Lordship of Jesus and believe in resurrection
other places he says other things (follow moral law on heart,) there is no real set formula listed out. IN Galantions he says one thing in Romans another they all kind revovle around the same concepts.
It is clear that the teachings handed the chruch form the Apsotles thorugh the Bishops reflected upon the aotnement and resurrection.This was how the early community understood its own salvation in realtion to the events of Jesus life and death and resurrection. It was a resurrection oriented faith. It was about something that happened, and that something was clearly incorporated into the criteria for joining.
Simply submission to God and righteousness, with the best of your ability. Did the Biblical Jesus lie to this man? Did he deceive him and lead him into hellfire? If yes, then how can this possibly be just? This man, wanting to know the truth about salvation, asked an honest question and received a false and deceiving answer which will lead him into hell. The man will not believe in trinity, will not confess Jesus is Lord, will not believe he is the Son of God, and most importantly will not believe that Jesus died for his sins. According to missionaries, one who does not do these things simply will not obtain eternal life. There are two solutions:
Jesus gave him the answer that was true for thta moment. for that day.
the point is, based upon what Paul says in Galations, what he says in Romans 2 and Romans 10 it's clear that the exaclty little formula doesnt' matter, it's not the precise doctrine that saves you, it's what your heart is doing in relationship to God. But the expression of that faith has to be oriented around Jesus statment of solidarity becuase it is a statment of solidarity and it is our way of returning solidarity with God.
Paul says when we are bpatized we are put into Christ's death. We share with christ his death so we also share with him his future. his resurrection hope. that' solidarity. iF we don't understand the formula are we not in solidarity with God? Well that's not really what solidarity means, understnadng a cerimony or a formula. But is the fac that not understanding it is excuseable really a rason to forget it?
Salvation clearly revovles around what Jesus did on the corss. Otherwise he would not have done it. that doesnt' mean we have to have exacty the officla understanding of it or that we have to all agree upon our understanding.
But it does mean what Jesus did matters. It has to be at the center of any faith experience.
simple clear points for simple clear people:
(1) There is no officially sanctioned formula
(2) right doctrine is not a prequissete for salvation; but that is not an excuse to have wrong doctirne.
(3) Doctrine exists to help us, not to trip us up with problmes of understanding.
(4) The modus oporandi of salvtion is the corss. That doesnt' necessarly mean that it is our understanding of the modus opporandi that saves us.
(5) What saves us is trust in Jesus' and in the saving powre of God's grace.
(6) salvation is relationship of solidarity: God offers us solidarity by identifying with us to such an extent that in the form of Christ he dies on the cross fo our sins. We express our soldiairty with God by placing ourselves into Christs death and accepting all that means for the way we live and the hope of the future thorugh his resurreciton (I get all that out of Romans 6).
(7) doesn't matter how tight you shut your eyes. or if you pray a "sinner's prayer' or get baptized or whatever ceremony yo do, it's what you do in your heart that counts, but our heart has to be reaching out a relationship of solidarity with God.
(8) Jesus is the banner, the focuss and the MO of that whole move of God in our lives.

News & Interviews for Oblivion
Critic Reviews for Oblivion
All Critics (251) | Top Critics (49) | Fresh (133) | Rotten (118) | DVD (3)
Although it looks spectacular and boasts some pungent ideas, the surprise-to-running-time ratio is out of whack.
As a piece of narrative, though, it's portentous, sluggish and fatally ungripping.
It takes more than an hour for Oblivion to become whatever it is the filmmakers think it's supposed to be.
In space, Jack hopes, someone may hear you dream. But in a movie theater, no one will see you yawn.
Feels ever more grounded and stuck ...
Was Cruise trying to beat out fellow Scientologist John Travolta for the honor of starring in the dumbest sci-fi epic ever?
Audience Reviews for Oblivion
Tom Cruise anchors and leads this reasonably crafted sci-fi about a mechanical tech of the future, left all but alone on the planet, fixing drones in a boring routine that's slowly turning his brain to mush ... or at least that's how it seems. The truth of his reality is in fact far more sinister and makes for a decent entry to the genre. While not heralded as top notch by the purists of the day this turns out to be a worthy effort, lacking oomph perhaps but yet sustaining interest. Give it a chance.
Super Reviewer
Based around a graphic novel I've never heard of and that's because it doesn't actually exist, seemed to be a clever smokescreen to gather interest in the new film. So its just an independent sci-fi film then, but that's good no? well kinda, but then again the main star is Tom Cruise so... The film kicks off with narration by Cruise's character as to the fate of the Earth. Immediately I noticed the film looks amazing, I loved how they have created the desolate left overs of human civilisation with the odd landmark or tall building remaining but basically half buried and surrounded by a fresh new landscape. What we know of our world is virtually gone, through earthquakes and tsunamis everything has been buried deep creating a new face to Earth's surface...and it looks awesome! The visuals in this film are nothing short of spectacular, I haven't seen such crisp sharp images for some time and that includes the CGI. But the film isn't drowned in CGI, that's the key, its used for landscapes, skylines, ruins, buildings etc...things that tend to work well rendered in CGI. There are no big alien monsters or stupid sidekick creatures etc...this is a semi serious sci-fi. I do get the impression they have tried for a '2001' approach here, a very realistic depiction of what could be. Designs are logical and functional, outfits and weapons aren't too silly or gung-ho, building interiors are pretty minimal in a slick 70's sci-fi kind of way (maybe a bit too clean) and the day to day activities of the main characters are mundane. Of course there are sequences within the film which pander to the regular lowest basic common sci-fi denominator which is a true shame, but you gotta have gunfights and death in everything these days huh. Now the plot...oh lord! the plot. Where to begin? I'll be honest, I liked the film to a degree but the plot had me guessing all the way...in a bad way. There is a lot of confusion in this film which in my opinion isn't entirely explained. Its hard to review without spoilers, basically we don't find out what is really going on until near the end, up to that point its a frustrating game of guess what's going on. The main plot point is the twist of course, revolving around the main characters, that much is clear. But for most of the time you can't really say if there are any actual aliens in this, was the Earth actually destroyed by aliens or is it a huge cover up for something else? With the ragtag humans hiding out on Earth (the story leads you to think they are aliens at first) you kinda assume its a big government cover up. Of course it seems Earth was destroyed by an alien force, but we never see them, the machines in control via the 'Tet' are automated A.I., presumably controlled by an alien race on another planet or ship?? And why is it called the 'Tet'? is that a human moniker? And on the subject of this alien invader race, why send machines to invade? did they know to destroy our Moon or was that a mistake? and why capture and use cloned humans for the invasion? They have those high powered drones which are armed to the teeth and extremely versatile, why didn't they just use the drones to invade Earth? surely they would be far more lethal, precise, with faster results and cause less problems than cloning would inevitably cause. I would imagine cloning would also take much more time no? The drones really did make the whole cloning concept in this film quite redundant if you ask me. Plus in what way would our planets resources benefit them? I'm guessing they must have a planet similar to Earth? they must do, and the alien race must be similar to us in build and requirements...presumably. But as the story progresses the story begs more and more questions. Why were a team of astronauts flying to Titan and why did they need such a big crew? When that crew were ejected back to Earth why did they simply orbit for sixty odd years? why did the humans on the surface wait so long to bring them down? It seems Morgan Freeman and his cronies only decided to bring them down once they discovered the weakness in Cruise's character. So until then they just left them in orbit? I still don't quite follow how or why the drones are unable to kill the Earth bound humans when they are camouflaged in their 'scav' outfits. Those hi-tech alien drones can't get through some human jetfighter tech and voice scramblers? What are those outfits suppose to be exactly with all those feathers stuck on their helmets? and how did they make them?? Why does the alien controller Sally have a Southern drawl and where that kid came from at the very end, was Julia pregnant the whole time? Oh and why does Freeman wear a black cape and those goggle-like shades?? didn't notice much intense sunshine. I guess what I'm saying is I really loved the way this film looked, a real leap forward in visual sci-fi. Some of the designs like the bubble ship/helicopter craft Cruise's character flies are really original and striking, the drones were a bit generic and the 'Tet' was kinda drab looking but on the whole its a visual feast for the eyes. I was hoping for a sensible serious sci-fi, on one hand I got it, no doubt about that, but I can't help but feel there was a classic sci-fi here. So close, but like the soundtrack/musical score and by the numbers superstar casting of Cruise, poor decisions have been made.
Super Reviewer
Repetitious, confusing and mainly unfocused, Oblivion is a misconceived hodgepodge of clichés and contrivances from the first scene to the last, and it is hard to imagine how the result could have been stodgier or more predictable than what we see here.

Call it redemption for his bad luck in the previous race in Singapore, but Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen managed to take home the win on Sunday at the 2017 Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix.
The Dutch youngster, who celebrated his 20th birthday the previous day, now has two F1 wins under his belt. His first was at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix.
With Mercedes AMG's Lewis Hamilton starting on pole in the final Malaysian Grand Prix (the race will no longer be on the calendar), and Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen failing to start due to power unit troubles and Sebastian Vettel all the way at the back of the grid due to his own power unit troubles in qualifying, many were expecting a Mercedes win.
However, Verstappen, who started at third on the grid, was already in second by the end of the first lap. By lap four, he would be overtaking Hamilton who admittedly was suffering from car troubles too. Hamilton managed to cling on to claim second, however, some 12.7 seconds after Verstappen.
Red Bull's other driver, Daniel Ricciardo, finished third after dispatching Mercedes' other driver, Valtteri Bottas, early on. Towards the end of the race, Ricciardo faced a challenge from Vettel who managed to fight his way from the back of the grid to fourth, the position in which he crossed the finish line. Rounding out the top five was Bottas.
Vettel's troubles weren't over yet, however. On the cool-down lap following the race, the Ferrari driver came into contact with Williams' Lance Stroll while both were going around a corner, with both drivers later pointing the finger at each other. Stroll's Williams suffered little damage but Vettel's Ferrari was launched into the air and had its left-rear wheel wrecked. Vettel may also face a gearbox penalty for the next race if the unit suffered damage and needs replacing. Stewards decided that no further action was neccessary.
Following the Malaysian race, Hamilton's lead in the 2017 Drivers' Championship now stretches 34 points. The Mercedes driver sits on 281 points versus the 247 of Vettel. Bottas is third with 222 points. In the Constructors' Championship, Mercedes sits on 503 points versus the 385 of Ferrari and 270 of Red Bull. The next race on the calendar is the Japanese Grand Prix this coming weekend.

Saving the World One Letter At A Time
So, this being Blog Action Day, you'll find many bloggers going off about slowing down human caused climate change on planet earth. My favorite link so far has to be the one I stumbled upon to Ecofont, a font that slows down the resource drain of printing fonts by excluding itty bitty bits of font information (saving 20% of the ink used to print your words using other fonts). And it's a damned attractive font too.
Of course, we should be asking why are we printing whatever we print anyway? Full confession: I've been known to print emails and even web pages. I try not to, but I know I don't always try hard enough.
Okay, so you figure the planet can go to hell, as long as you have an O2 take you'll be okay. Guess again. The World Health Organization has some rather disturbing facts about the impacts of climate change on human health.
Take a look at the flow chart WHO put together.
