In its new time slot (Friday at 10 p.m., previously occupied by Life), NBC's Lipstick Jungle reached only 3.2 million viewers–a 25 percent decrease in audience since its last new episode on Wednesday, Oct. 22. The struggling drama could fare better this week, when the nationwide runway show that is Halloween won't conflict with the one proferred by Brooke Shields (pictured with Andrew McCarthy and Kim Raver) and Co. Meanwhile, NBC's new series Crusoe continued to lose its audience–it averaged 4.2 million viewers, down 33 percent from last week and down 42 percent from its Oct. 20 premiere. CBS was Friday night's winner, pulling in strong numbers from Ghost Whisperer (9.4 million viewers), a rerun of NCIS (the night's most-watched program, with 11.2 million), and Numb3rs (10.6 million, up 14 percent from last week).

On Sunday, football coverage made NBC the most-watched network of the night, followed (just barely) by ABC, then CBS. ABC's Desperate Housewives continued its Sunday night reign, pulling in 15.8 million viewers to make it the best-viewed hour of the night. Viewership was down slightly for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Brothers & Sisters on ABC and Cold Case and The Unit on CBS, while The Amazing Race saw a slight gain. CBS' 60 Minutes (14.4 million viewers) saw a notable bump, drawing in 11 percent more current events-minded households than last week.

Sheamus-Henry Feud to Continue, Update on Plans for Orton and Christian, More
August 15, 2011 · 0 Comments
– Local independent wrestlers from the Pro Wrestling Guerilla promotion were sitting at ringside last night during the spot where Mark Henry and Sheamus crashed through the barrier and into the crowd. WWE used the wrestlers there as extras to prevent fans from getting hurt.
– WWE posted a backstage video of Sheamus after his loss to Mark Henry at SummerSlam. Sheamus warned Henry that their rivalry was far from over.
– Randy Orton became a three-time World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Christian at last night's SummerSlam pay-per-view. WWE had been going with the idea of another Orton vs. Christian match at September's Night of Champions pay-per-view but last night's match was billed as their "final encounter" on the SummerSlam pre-show.

Patio Veg Update 5815
Posted on
I couldn't wait any longer and dug up a carrot! They could do with a little longer, but I was very impressed with my first home grown carrot. It even tasted like a carrot too.
The small pots on the cart have black kale in which I am growing from seed. They have all sprouted so far!
My potatoes are all growing like mad and should be ready to start eating from the end of October.
The three giant pots (50cms) have carrots, leeks and an aubergine plant. I've been popping toilet roll tubes over the bases of the leeks to 'blanch' them. This should encourage more of the white part of the leek to grow.
We've had a good few courgettes and they are delicious. Apparently you can get up to 30 from one plant. Some of our fruits have not been growing as the flower has not been pollinated. I have pollinated some myself and have now added two wall baskets to entice the bees to this part of the patio. I was pretty impressed with my first DIY wall basket efforts.
I also have some cauliflowers to plant, but need to prepare my new birthday planters first as they're wooden.
My hanging tomato plant has a few orange tomatoes now and the tall one you can see on the cart has three good size tomatoes developing. I've since discarded the yellowing leaves at the base of this plant, but have read they may not always be anything to be worry about, doh.
I'm thinking of planting a few more brassicas before the growing season is over and then I'll have to wait until I can really get going with my growing next spring! Very excited.

Here's a story the Rude Pundit might have told at some point - who knows after a dozen years of daily shit - but it bears telling here: Back in 2007 and 2008, the Rude Pundit was all about the Obama love. He went for Obama before it was cool because he saw that the man was gonna lead a movement that the country desperately needed. He went into it eyes open, aware that Obama was a slightly left-of-center Democrat, not the second coming of one Kennedy or another.
To that end, the Rude Pundit spilled much blog seed criticizing Hillary Clinton, especially for her attacks on Obama. At one point, the BBC contacted the Rude Pundit to ask him to represent people who didn't think Clinton should run for president (an appearance he declined because they completely got him wrong). Yet even so, he praised Clinton for her primary victory in New Hampshire.
In January of 2008, at Eschacon, a gathering of liberals in Philadelphia sponsored by Atrios's Eschaton blog, the Rude Pundit was scheduled to perform. A blog friend came up to him in the hallway of the conference hotel the day before. She had tried to convince him that Obama couldn't possibly win, that Clinton was the way to go, and she had a warning. "Just wanna let you know," she said. "If you start going after Hillary tomorrow night, a couple of big butch lesbians said they are going to rush the stage and stop you." The Rude Pundit went back to his room later that night and furiously rewrote his script, revising his "42 Ways Not to Have Sex with Ann Coulter" to be an all-out, barnburning attack on Clinton. "Fuck them," he thought. "Come at me."
The next day, all throughout the events, the Rude Pundit realized that, whether or not we agreed on the Democratic candidate, we were in this together. He hadn't said or written anything to be shitty to Clinton supporters so far. Why start now? Why should we turn on each other? How useless that seemed, especially in the wake of the destruction wrought by George W. Bush. He stowed the Clinton stuff and degraded the shit out of Ann Coulter, and a splendid time was had by all.
The Rude Pundit thinks about that every single time someone gets viciously upset that he doesn't have the oh-so-expected high hard-on for Bernie Sanders. Yesterday, after writing that Hillary Clinton won the debate, he was inundated with people trying to prove him wrong. "Sanders won every online poll and focus group," they told him. Online polls have no scientific basis beyond who is moved to click on them. Relying on them to prove your point is like saying your Mom says you're a good singer.
"You're just saying what the corporate media says and they contribute to Hillary," said others, to which the Rude Pundit can only say, "Um, if corporations wanna pay me, call me. Otherwise, I'm goddamn unallied." This is not to mention that he's capable of keeping two thoughts in his head. He can say someone won a debate and is a great candidate yet not be committed. Hell, in 2012, he said that Mitt Romney beat Obama in their first debate. Oh, no.
Then this email arrived last night in the inbox with the confusing subject "So you're shilling for Shillary now." It reads, "Go fuck yourself, Lee. Might as well wear your confederate flag with pride. Shillary is a republican. You are a fucking asshole and I hope you die." The temptation is to respond with suggestions of various large farm animals that can fuck the writer in the ass, as well as a few variations on what he can fellate and the semen he can choke on. But where does that get us, huh?
We're on the same side, gang. We want one of the Democrats to win. The Rude Pundit, for his part, believes that Hillary Clinton will win the nomination and he really likes Bernie Sanders. Hell, Bernie did pretty damn good at the debate. Ain't that shit complicated, huh? Yeah, he's still working it out in his head, so, you know, calm the fuck down for a little while. We've got some time before we even get to most of the primaries. But maybe let's set down a rule or two so the left doesn't tear itself up between Hillary and Bernie supporters.
For instance, how about this: The candidates are fair game, but their supporters deserve the benefit of the doubt. You can tear in to Clinton as much as you want about her Iraq war vote or her crappy response to the question about Edward Snowden. Or you can point out everything you want about Sanders' stand on gun control. But maybe, just maybe, figure that their supporters are acting in good faith.
Maybe focus your ire on the people who deserve it, like racist maniac Donald Trump or scary ass Ted Cruz or creepily desperate Marco Rubio. Use your energy to take their followers apart. Fuck those people.
Yeah, yeah, the Rude Pundit knows, Christ, he knows. In this age of the shithead comment thread, the hastily hocked-up blog post,
and the "I'll kill your mother's corpse after I rape her" tweets, it's
asking the impossible. But there are motherfuckers who really need ass-kicking. Kick them.

So In LOVE With Traffic Master Allure Vinyl Plank Flooring
You're reading an article Wood Texture Vinyl Flooring and this text is a url permalink – Hopefully this text This may be helpful. Tape the template to the vinyl flooring and switch the marks with the framing square and compass. Seat the flooring with a hand roller or block, applying agency pressure to ensure good adhesion. If you are a little concerned about your means to install tiles, consider using peel and stick tiles that set up quickly over almost any present clean backsplash floor. Linseed oil continues to oxidize in the floor and the micro organism cannot multiply as with different forms of flooring. We chose the glue down solely because the color we needed was only accessible in that installation type.
Laminate planks are another kind of flooring that should by no means be used for RVs as a consequence of the truth that it cannot tolerate water and has all the identical problems as vinyl. It's tougher to get odor and messes out of the carpet, plus my cats are inclined to scratch on the carpet when wanting to get out of a room or go outside, however with wooden flooring they wouldn't have that drawback. The floors into the 2 bedrooms are authentic floorboards and carpet and are an identical degree to the brand new oak ground whereas the home office and loo step as much as floating wooden flooring on top of the original floorboards; laminate wood and wooden tile floors respectively.

If that won't help advance the technology, what will?
Sony's current OLED TV, the XEL-1 is the kind of product you really have to see to believe. Sadly the price tag means that for the near future, at least, not many of us are likely to be privileged enough to set eyes on one, let alone own a set – and don't think about the prototype 27in model (pictured) shown off recently!
Some serious R&D is needed if OLED technology is going to make its way down to we, the unwashed masses. Sony seems more than aware of that, though, and has detailed plans to invest close to ¥22 billion (~£108 million) to further development in production technologies for medium and large sized panels.
A large factor contributing to this financial outlay is Sony's desire to ensure its place at the forefront of OLED TV manufacturers. With Samsung, Toshiba and their ilk snapping at Sony's heels it's no surprise the company is intensifying its efforts. Currently Sony does have the advantage of being the only company with a production OLED display on the market, but that can't last forever.
The specifics on the investment will see this cash put into developing the TFT infrastructure and EL coating processing facilities at the Higashiura factory in Japan. The timeframe for the investment is given as the second half of this financial year, which starts in October, with these products being implemented during the following financial year – which at the very best means April next year. Nonetheless, the delay is likely to be worth it.
Sony press release.

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney set up a stark choice for voters Saturday by picking Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate, resetting the campaign in fundamental and potentially risky ways.
After months of trying to make the contest a referendum on President Barack Obama's handling of the economy, Romney raised the stakes for both sides. Setting aside a cautious ambiguity about his plans to tackle the nation's fiscal challenges, he recast the race as an epic battle over budgetary and economic policy.
Ryan "understands the fiscal challenges facing America — our exploding deficits and crushing debt, and the fiscal catastrophe that awaits us if we don't change course," Romney told a cheering throng in Norfolk, Va., as he introduced his pick.
Ryan is a dynamic seven-term policy wonk. As House Budget Committee chairman, his controversial "path to prosperity" has served for two years as a touchstone in the partisan wars over taxes and spending. He would curb tax rates on business and wealthier individuals, impose austerity on most federal agencies and transform Social Security and other entitlement programs that drive long-term national debt.
As partisans on both sides see it, putting Ryan on the ticket elevated the campaign debate — which has been increasingly negative and sometimes maddeningly trivial — by putting seminal choices over spending, tax policy and the role of government front and center.
"We won't duck the tough issues, we will lead," Ryan told the crowd at a rally in sight of the USS Wisconsin, namesake of his home state. "We won't blame others, we will take responsibility."
Ryan lends youth, conservative intellectual heft and an insider's knowledge of Washington. The downside for Romney is that Ryan also brings fiscal prescriptions far more specific and controversial than the nominee's.
Democrats swung quickly, with Obama's campaign calling Ryan "the architect of the radical Republican House budget."
"There's something odd about the fact that the ideas people are going to talk about have the vice president's name on them," said Joel Goldstein, a scholar of the vice presidency and a law professor at St. Louis University. He was hard-pressed to recall a running mate whose agenda so instantly redefined the nominee and the campaign.
But even with that, when the dust settles, the contest won't hinge on the running mates.
"Whether Romney wins or loses isn't going to be determined by how people feel about Ryan vs. Joe Biden," Goldstein said.
Focus on the budget plan
Democrats have sought to tar Romney with the Ryan budget plan for months. Romney had been careful to praise it without embracing its particulars. Putting Ryan on the ticket cuts through the clutter.
"If they really play it right, Romney won't actually say, 'I believe everything Paul Ryan says,' " said William Lacy, a strategist on seven Republican presidential campaigns and director of the Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas, named for the party's 1996 nominee. "He'll say, 'This is America's best budget mind, … but I will be making the final decisions.' "
Democrats won't let Romney off the hook if he tries to wriggle free from backlash against Ryan's views, though.
Liberal economists have called Ryan's budget "Robin Hood in reverse." Obama has called it "thinly veiled social Darwinism."
The plan, formally adopted twice by House Republicans, would end the traditional Medicare guarantee, handing to states the responsibility to provide a medical safety net for seniors in order to control costs, though critics say it would imperil access to care, too.
Democrats say the plan threatens current and future Social Security benefits, while shifting the tax burden away from the wealthiest Americans, Big Oil and corporations that send jobs overseas. And they appeared to relish the chance to use it as a bludgeon against Romney and candidates down the ballot.
"We wanted a national debate on this Ryan budget, and Mitt Romney just gave it to us," said Jesse Ferguson, national press secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Although Ryan is well-known in policy circles, he has never sought elected office beyond his own congressional district. That makes him something of a blank slate — but certainly less than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was four years ago when Sen. John McCain put her on the ticket.
Critics raced to fill in the blanks before the Romney side's portrait has time to dry.
"The next few weeks are going to be pretty important in defining him," Goldstein said.
Romney seems to have mollified the right wing of the party by picking Ryan, though Richard Viguerie, one of the movement's intellectual godfathers, called the congressman "not the bold conservative leader or 'boat rocker' that grassroots conservatives and Tea Partyers were hoping for."
Even some Republicans voiced concern that Ryan's budget proposal would drag the ticket down.
Strengths and weaknesses
At 42, Ryan is among the youngest running mates in history. He has no executive-branch experience and no foreign policy credentials to offer.
One of Ryan's closest friends and allies in the House, Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, shrugged off any concern that Ryan is not ready to step in as president or is vulnerable to attack on those grounds.
"He is an intellectual tour de force," Hensarling said. "There's no member of Congress, Republican or Democrat, who knows the inner workings of the federal government and the federal budget better than Paul Ryan and has the ability to articulate them in a way that working people who don't live and breathe politics can understand."
Nominees for president often pick running mates who can deliver a particular state or region or demographic.
Ryan brings a charisma and personal touch that sometimes fails Romney, but he is unlikely to deliver any particular state. He could even put at risk the GOP's hopes to win battlegrounds such as Florida, where the outsized bloc of seniors don't take well to vast changes to Medicare and Social Security, even though they and those who will retire soon would be exempt from Ryan's proposals.
Polls show that seniors 2-1 prefer the current Medicare system to the sort of "premium support" or voucher system Ryan advocates. But many seniors are dismayed by explosive national debt and would find his passion for tackling that problem appealing.
Either way, Romney no longer gets the luxury of splitting hairs on his running mate's agenda because shunning even a portion of the plan would reinforce his reputation as wishy-washy and inconstant.
"He's stuck with it," said Trey Grayson, director of Harvard's Institute of Politics. "You pick Ryan, you own the Ryan plan."
Impact on the election
DU.S. Rep. Paul Ryan is idolized by young conservatives, and he brings specific — and controversial — fiscal formulas to the ticket. He will stop in Colorado on Monday.

EU grant to satisfy Italy's thirst for dance girls (The Times, 3 July 2003, page 15)
An Italian dance school has been given €1 million in EU funds to train young women to perform on the country's low-budget prime-time quiz and variety shows
TV babes get £1m from EU (The Sun, 3 July 2003, page 24)
The EU is spending nearly £1million on a school to teach would-be TV dolly birds how to wear BIKINIS and put on MAKE-UP.
No EU money has been granted to train Italian dancing girls. Financial support is given under the European Social Fund to agreed educational and vocational training programmes in member states. Whilst general rules exist governing the type of project which may be supported by ESF funds, it is up to the national authority to decide which initiatives to support The Campania region in Italy runs a successful employment programme, assisted by ESF money, which has created over 30,000 jobs. An application to the scheme has been made by an Italian TV station to fund traineeships. However, unless this training programme accords with the strict rules set down by both the Campania region and the ESF, no money will be granted.

Your kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your entire house. The kitchen not only provides food storage and preparation surfaces, but it is also a location for storing dishes, silverware, and a number of other necessary household items. Due to the sometimes massive storage requirements of a kitchen, many people will find that their find their kitchens will become cramped or crowded. If this is the case for you, worry no more. There are a few kitchen furniture items that can be used to actually improve the storage potential of your kitchen while making it not only more functional, but also improving your kitchen organization and removing clutter. Best of all, many of these essential kitchen furniture items can be found at reasonable prices so that you can save money while improving the overall functionality of your kitchen.
One of the most essential kitchen furniture items is a storage unit. Storage units are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, materials, and capacities, and are designed to be able to give you more storage space in your kitchen, without taking up a large amount of room. You can conveniently find storage units that consist of a number of wicker or wooden drawers that are either stacked vertically in a single-column frame, or in a frame that spreads the drawers out both vertically and horizontally. Pantry units and wood or metal baker's racks also fall into the category of storage units, helping you to keep your kitchen goods organized and clutter free.
Another essential kitchen furniture item is the kitchen island. These islands are available in a number of materials, and often feature a butcher's block top or additional storage space to help you make even better use of the room available in your kitchen. Certain islands feature deep storage areas and contoured tops, while others feature barstools that make them into additional seating and counter space in your kitchen. There are a number of islands that are even on rollers which allow the island to be easily moved out of the way or to another part of the kitchen with ease. These islands also feature locks for the rollers for additional safety.
Cabinets and cars that conveniently and safely store your microwave are another essential kitchen item. These come in handy especially if you have a microwave that is not able to be mounted easily in your kitchen. Many people will end up leaving their microwave on their available, yet limited, counter space resulting in them losing additional space for activities such as food preparation or the placement of smaller appliances. A wooden microwave cabinet, or a rolling microwave cart, will not only give you a place to put your microwave that is not taking up valuable counter space, but most cabinets and carts have the added benefit of offering you even more storage space. Usually there are doors underneath or above where the microwave goes that gives you extra room to store unsightly appliances until they are needed. Certain microwave carts will even feature beautiful and handy baskets which can be used to hold spices, towels, or other small items to keep them close at hand.
Another helpful kitchen furniture item is a butcher's block, or chopping block. A butcher's block is generally made of wood, although a number of different designs are available at a reasonable cost. With your chopping block you will always have a place to cut meats, poultry, vegetables, or any other food products that you might need when fixing food for yourself or your family. Since butcher's blocks are made from a durable wood material, they are easy to clean and can be sterilized using bleach, or other sterilizing agents, without having to worry about damaging the butcher's block. This can make clean-up extremely easy while ensuring that you will always have a safe cutting surface that you can sterilize both before and after use.
Once you pick up the select essential kitchen furniture items discussed above, you will find that your kitchen is much more efficient, and that you have both more storage and counter space than you might have ever thought possible. With items such as storage units, kitchen islands, microwave cabinets and butcher's blocks, you will no longer have to worry about keeping a number of small cutting boards clean or rummaging through all of your cabinets to find what you are looking for. You will soon be the envy of friends and neighbors with your easy to access kitchen.

There are many causes of back pain and some are more serious than others. Learn the red flags and how to tell when you need to see a doctor and get back to enjoying your life pain free.
With any kind of trauma, large or seemingly insignificant, the muscles can be stretched or strained. The ligaments can get sprained or torn. Bones including the vertebra can get broken. If you are having back pain after any kind of an accident it is important that you see a back pain specialist to check for fractures and other treatable injuries.
"evaluation can mean quicker treatment and relief"
Chronic back pain that develops gradually over years may be arthritis. When it begins radiating into your buttocks and thighs with sciatica, you may be developing lumbar spinal stenosis.
Seeing your doctor for evaluation can mean quicker treatment and relief.
A herniated disc may cause back pain and sciatica. Your doctor can order studies to determine how large the herniation is and then discuss the treatment options with you.
If the pain and sciatica are not severe, conservative treatments such as stretching and other exercises for the spine may be suggested.
Back pain may be a sign or symptom of diseases in organs that are near the spine. Disorders of the colon, lungs,aorta, kidneys and others can all result in severe back pain.
"determining the exact cause of the pain"
Whether chronic or acute, one of the major challenges of back pain treatments is determining the exact cause of the pain. Because all of these structures are so very close together it is often very difficult to identify the exact pain generator.
MRIs, CT scans and X-rays can be useful when evaluating back pain, but many times the results are equivocal and difficult to interpret.
When the cause of your back pain cannot be determined your doctor may start you on some gentle exercises for physical conditioning. If that fails to make a difference or provide any relief he may progress to more aggressive treatments.
"find out that it is nothing serious"
It is much better to have your pain evaluated, and find out that it is nothing serious, than to wait and find out later that it was something that could have been treated if you had found it earlier.

Whilst I would like to bring you photos of every hockey match being played during this 21st Sultan Azlan Shah Cup (men's field hockey tournament) held here in my hometown, Ipoh from 24th May to 3rd June, 2012, I am not able to because of other commitments. Nevertheless, I try to do my best!
So after Match 7, came Match 9! It was between Great Britain (in white) and India (in blue). Unfortunately, I am only able to share six miserable photos – discarded most of them because they are just not good enough! Urgh!!!
This year's Sultan Azlan Shah Cup is actually very crucial to all the teams, as they test each other's strength, and keep away from injury so close to the Olympics. As for Malaysia, hopefully the boys would pick up some lessons along the way.
Event: 2012 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup – Match 9 – Great Britain vs. India
Results: Great Britain 3 – India 2
Venue: Stadium Azlan Shah, Ipoh
Date: 27th May, 2012

Today marks the birth of Frida Kahlo, a Mexican artist celebrated for her dedication to indigenous tradition and female expression. The painter, whose two best accessories were her unruly brows (not to mention a neck-adorning monkey), would turn 105 if she were magically still alive today.
Frida Kahlo, "Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird" (1940)
Kahlo was born in Mexico City on July 6th, 1907, though her strong connection to modern Mexico led her to often cite July 7, 1910 as her birthday -- a date marking the Mexican revolution. She grew up with her Eastern European father, Amerindian and Spanish Catholic mother, and three sisters, who all lived together in a house in Coyaocan called La Casa Azul (The Blue House). As a young woman, Kahlo experienced a slue of health problems, contracting polio at the age of six and later suffering serious injuries as a teenager from a bus accident. The relapses of pain that she endured later in life forced her to undergo a series of operations that prevented her from having children.
But the accident would ultimately serve as the starting point for Kahlo's prolific career, and the times she spent in recovery would mark the the beginning of her powerful series of self-portraits. "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone," Kahlo famously stated, "because I am the person I know best." When her days of bed rest ended, Kahlo continued to create art, developing a style that was marked by a use of vibrant colors and primitive symbolism. She incorporated both Christian and Jewish themes as well as objects from Mexican mythology, rendering Surrealist imaginations in a way that Andre Breton once described as "a ribbon around a bomb."
Portrait of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo
Kahlo's work was also heavily influenced by her strained marriage to fellow artist Diego Rivera. Kahlo first approached Rivera as a young artist seeking consultation from a more established painter, but they soon developed an intimate relationship and married in 1929. Their life together was full of extramarital affairs and bouts of jealousy. Among Kahlo's alleged bedfellows are Josephine Baker, Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky, creating quite the roster of famous liaisons. But she used her tumultuous personal life as inspiration for her depictions of feminine cruelty and suffering, exposing the taboo realities of miscarriage and adultery in paintings of herself. Amidst her more progressive artwork though, she adopted the Mexicanidad attitude of Rivera and began favoring all things "authentically" Mexican, including traditional clothing and standards for the female appearance.
Frida Kahlo, "What The Water Gave Me" (1922)
Later in life, Kahlo's medical problems became more serious, leading to the amputation of her left leg and eventually her death at 47. In the few decades following her death, Kahlo's name went largely unrecognized as an artist besides being known as Rivera's wife, and it was not until the 1980s that her unique style gained attention. Scholars and art critics alike began praising Kahlo's indigenous flair and dedication to the female experience after author Hayden Herrera published a bestselling biography of the artist in 1983. Since then, the artist has been celebrated through everything from film and music, to postage stamps and Google logos.
In honor of the talented female artist, check out some images from the previous exhibit "Frida Kahlo: Her Photos" which was on view at Artisphere in Arlington, Virginia in March. Happy Birthday, Frida!

School lunch calorie limits leave bitter taste with some Kansas students
Some Kansas students and at least one political leader say new school lunch guidelines aimed at limiting calories and encouraging good nutrition are having an unintended consequence:
Hungry kids.
"Here we are in the Wheat State and I've heard some very sad stories recently about school lunches," said Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler.
One was from Wallace County High School in Sharon Springs, where students and teachers created a YouTube parody, "We Are Hungry," that blasts the new calorie guidelines:
Give me some seconds, I,
I need to get some food today
My friends are at the corner store
Getting junk so they don't waste away
The video, based on the Fun. hit "We Are Young," shows students staring woefully at lunch trays, stuffing lockers with junk food, collapsing during volleyball practice and crawling on the ground in exhaustion.
"There's just not enough" food, said 16-year-old Callahan Grund, a football player and star of the video. By Friday it had garnered 48,000 views – more than 62 times the population of Sharon Springs, a farming town not far from the Colorado border.
"When you have chores in the morning and football practice after school, you need energy. This doesn't cut it," Grund said.
The major sticking point: a new federal rule that sets calorie maximums for school lunches — 650 calories for elementary-schoolers, 700 for middle-schoolers and 850 for high-schoolers.
Protesters in Kansas and elsewhere say 850 calories isn't enough for some high-schoolers, particularly athletes who can burn calories by the thousands.
State education and nutrition officials say portion sizes at most districts haven't changed. Students in Wichita, for instance, can get more food at lunch this year because there's a wider array of options, a la carte items and nearly unlimited servings of fruits and vegetables.
Pockets of protest seem to be coming from districts that once ignored calorie maximums, said Cheryl Johnson, director of child nutrition and wellness for the Kansas Department of Education.
Until this fall, districts that opted to spend more could supplement standard school lunches, serving larger portion sizes and offering extra servings of entrees, breads and other high-calorie items.
"Some schools were providing excess food, above the requirements and the nutrition guidelines," Johnson said. "That's the reason we're seeing some comments and protests.
"For the most part, we feel the new guidelines and menus are being well-received."
Brown-bag protests
The new guidelines — the first major overhaul of school meals in 15 years — also require cafeterias to serve less fat and sodium and more fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Linda O'Connor, an English teacher at Wallace County High School, penned the "We Are Hungry" parody after a colleague, Brenda Kirkham, posted a photo of her school lunch on Facebook and sparked dozens of outraged comments.
The lunch included one cheese-stuffed bread stick, a small dollop of marinara sauce, three apple slices and some raw spinach. Kirkham supplemented the lunch with items from a salad bar, including cubes of ham, bacon bits and dressing, which were available only to teachers.
"I asked why the sauce had no meat and I was informed that due to the breadsticks containing cheese, the meat would put us over the guidelines for protein," Kirkham wrote.
"Now think of a high school boy who works out at least three hours a day, not including farm work. I'm furious. The 'cheese' inside the breadstick is approximately three bites. This is ridiculous."
In past weeks, students in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and St. Mark's school near Colwich have organized brown-bag protests, packing their own lunches instead of buying school meals.
Huelskamp and Rep. Steve King, a Republican from Iowa, have introduced a bill that would repeal the calorie maximums imposed by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which won congressional approval in 2010.
Huelskamp said the new lunch guidelines are "a perfect example of what is wrong with government: misguided inputs, tremendous waste and unaccomplished goals."
He also opposes rules that require students to take servings of a fruit or vegetable at lunch, regardless of whether they plan to eat it.
"If every member of Congress would actually go into a school cafeteria and take a look at the trash can, they'd see that what sounds good on paper doesn't always work out like you think," Huelskamp said.
Planning other meals
Vicki Hoffman, director of nutrition services for Wichita schools, said reaction to the new lunches so far has been mostly positive.
Wichita schools cut down on waste by setting up "share tables," where students can leave items such as bananas, oranges or packaged foods they don't want.
"There's still some waste, but not as bad as we might have expected," she said. "We're also seeing kids eat things they might not have eaten before."
Johnson, the state official, said claims that school lunches don't provide enough food to keep high school athletes energized through practice are unfair and misguided.
"It's one meal. It is designed to meet the nutrient needs of an average student of that age group, but it's never going to meet the needs of students who burn far more calories," Johnson said.
"We need to encourage breakfasts at home or at school. We need to encourage students to take all of the items at lunch and then to plan for after-school activities by packing a healthy snack."
School districts that once financed bigger lunches could continue to offer extra food and comply with the calorie restrictions by establishing an afternoon snack program, Johnson said.
Parents of athletes and other active children should make sure they have a healthy snack between school and practice, Johnson said.
"The guidelines don't say this is the only food a student should have all day," she said. "We know from research that it is much better to have six small meals and snacks during the day as opposed to a lot of food at one time."
Sam Eckels, a sophomore at Northeast Magnet High School in Wichita, said his school lunch portions — one recent day it was steak fingers, mashed potatoes with gravy, peas and applesauce — are adequate. But he packs fruit snacks and a sports drink to keep him going through after-school basketball conditioning at East High.
"The lunches are pretty good," he said last week. "I don't see any difference from last year."
Kirkham, the Sharon Springs teacher, said she has started letting students eat snacks during her afternoon classes, even in art.
"I have quite a few football guys come in here, and I'm like, 'Hurry up and eat so it doesn't get on your project,' " she said. "I mean, they're starving.
"This isn't about some spoiled kids who want too much food."

Description for Abelia
Abelia shrubs, Abelia grandiflora, have attractive foliage, which partially accounts for their long time use in the landscape. The evergreen abelia has red foliage throughout the summer, becoming even deeper and more brilliant in autumn through winter.
Flowers offer several bursts of bloom from spring to fall, with clusters of fragrant and frilly pink and white tubular flowers. In colder areas of the country, the glossy abelia plant is considered semi-evergreen, as it may lose half its leaves in cold winters.
Planting and care
When planting abelia in your yard, choose a prominent spot. Also, choose a spot that gets full to partial sun. The glossy abelia plant grows in a variety of soil types, but responds best to a fertile soil amended with organic material.
Caring for Abelia
- Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.
For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape.
Pruning time: winter.
Aphids sometimes bother Abelias and they will sometimes develop leaf-spot, but neither is serious.
May to September
Typical uses of Abelia
Special features: Attracts Birds, Deer Resistant, Easy Care, Waterwise.
Culinary use: NA
Ornamental use: It is used as the ornamental edge plant.

We put together our first Boudoir Bash: 5 women, 5 sessions for one day only. A boudoir marathon. And a pretty successful one. We had the perfect combo between a gorgeous place and five amazing personalities.
To be completely honest, when we first started Scandaleuse, we weren't sure about booking multiple shoots a day. Since we are all about creating individual experiences, we were a little worried that it would lose authenticity and creativity. We first thought "how can you be 500% creative after 5 hours in the same space?"
Then, we had a little contest on our instagram and it made us realise that so many women who couldn't afford a VIP session were dying to try it still. And we had an opportunity to shoot in a very special location. Everything started getting together. It kinda looked like a sign so we decided to follow it. I am glad we did.
One house.
Before talking about the wonderful models, we need to talk about the location. We got extremely lucky to have access to a full house, recently renovated with modern touches and full of variety. We could never thank the owners enough. Thanks to them, our concern of potentially lose creativity during the process faded.
Two brains.
The fact that there are two of us made the entire day a lot easier. I took one shoot, Fanny took the other one, which gave us a chance to "recharge" between two people. We were also able to shoot the video below simultaneously while one of us was shooting.
Five models.
Within a few weeks, all the spots were taken. We knew practically nothing about our models. For our regular sessions, we always take our clients for a coffee to discuss location and vision, but in this case, since the location was set, we were ready to roll after sending them a few tips & tricks. Frankly, we expected our girls to bring similar outfits from one another. We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughts the girls put into their props and outfits.
We saw beautiful nightgowns, vintage bras, sophisticated bodysuits, gigantic feathers, delicate robes and so much more. Each of them have a very distinct personality which made the whole process even nicer. And the standard was already pretty high!
A challenge for all of us.
Usually, the challenge during a boudoir session is stronger towards the model, since she/he is likely the one not being familiar with it. Don't get me wrong, we do challenge ourselves by thinking outside the box for every shoot, but let's face it, the one getting naked is taking on a bigger step. This time however, we were seriously on the line too. Boudoir Bash forced us to adapt ourselves quickly and think 4 or 5 steps ahead so each of the girls would get something special. I am happy to say that the mission was accomplished.
Boudoir Bash gave us a chance to open our doors to models we wouldn't have necessarily met otherwise. It broadened our horizon and challenged us. I do believe that this little adventure made us better photographers and we are seriously considering doing it again. We are always so proud of each of our Scandals who have reached out to us to try this new experience.

Wales and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has come in for some heavy criticism over the past few months but insists he is not bothered by what people think.
Since the criticism has set in, Bale has been heavily linked with a move back to the Premier League with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea reportedly interested in signing the former Spurs star for his buy-out clause of £75 million.Embed from Getty Images
Bale gave nothing away on the talk of a move away from the Spanish giants and insisted he is fully focused on just playing football.
"There are ups and downs in football. You have to take it with a pinch of salt and all you can do is respond with performances on the pitch, like that."
Bale impressed in his national sides win over Israel, scoring twice as Wales moved to the top of Group B, sitting ahead of both Belgium and Bosnia.Embed from Getty Images
"I don't feel like I need to prove anybody wrong or right, I just need to play my football.
Will Gareth Bale move back to the Premier League this summer?

The South Panthers received some very positive news over the weekend. In a dramatic turn of events the Panthers have topped their pool and will face off for the Rugby Americas Rugby Championship on July 1st. The Panthers seemed all but out of contention after their loss to Mexico a couple of weeks back. However, a stunning 39-17 win for the Cayman Islands over Mexico combined with a Bermuda forfeit to the Panthers put the South over Mexico in the standings. Now the Panthers will take on South Area champions Guyana.
Because the match will take place in Providence, Guyana the team is needing to fundraise in a short amount of time to get there. Here is the release from the team:
USA Rugby South must raise $30,000 in one week's time to help send the current USA Rugby South Panthers men's team to Guyana for a chance to win a World Rugby Championship Trophy.
Take the jump to read more.
Worldwide, USA Rugby South is the only non-national team to accomplish this feat in 2013 and another group of deserving men have a chance to accomplish that goal in 2017.
If this organization is somehow important to you, please consider making a tax-exempt gift.
If 300 of our closest friends send a tax exempt gift of $100 to the USA Rugby South Panthers Foundation, this goal will be accomplished. Of course, any help is vitally important so please use this link to help accomplish this goal.

Instead of just turning her purse over to him, she attacked back, "Once I realized he was coming after me, I went kick, kick!" she said. "I wasn't scared." The assailant, 44-year-old Earl Wearing, did manage to knock Maropoulos down and get her purse, but was nabbed soon afterwards and arrested. Apparently Maropoulos has a rep in her 'hood for being someone not to be fucked with. A bartender in her local bar said, "She's taken swings at [troublemakers] and chased them with a broom. She's out there at night directing traffic and bouncing." [NY Post]

If you think there is no power in prayer or positive visualization, consider what has happened the last few days:
- Although one Thai diver died in the process, 13 people—12 kids and their coach—were slowly but safely extricated over the course of three days, from a flooded cave in Thailand.
- A prop sea-plane crash-landed on a mountain in Alaska, and all 11 people survived and were quickly rescued.
- An abandoned 5-month old baby buried face-down in the dirt of the Montana wilderness for 9 hours "clothed only in a wet, soiled onesie", was found alive and in reasonably good health. "This is what we call a miracle," the sheriff's office said. He was found by Deputy Ross Jessop while searching the huge wooded area, when he heard "just a whimper."
(Look closely at that little hand–the dirt under the fingernails and the scratches on the palm and fingers. That baby fought for its life.)
So if you think good things don't happen in this Age of Trump—think again.
Even the British are preparing for Trump's upcoming visit to the Queen with him cruising over London's famed Parliament (see below). They have the right idea celebrating his significance on the world stage this week. I wonder if they can mass-produce those balloons?
NATO should include them in the complementary gift packets to the other leaders. I bet it would be the HIT of the conference.
I'll also bet that Angela Merkel probably wants at least half a dozen for personal, nefarious purposes.
(Here's the Large Orange One's infamous sneer: Notice the ever present cell-phone in his right teensy-tiny, little hand.)
(Well, there goes the neighborhood–who let the hot-air BULLY out?)
(Trump-baby tours London from the only safe place he can find to do so. Lots of roaring crowds there, I'll bet, but not exactly like his well-funded campaign rallies.)
See, some miracles really DO happen! Be extremely thankful for each and every one of them–especially the first three mentioned in this post. I know that I am!
And here in the USA, we're just glad Trump-baby's out of the country this week so we can share him with the rest of the world!
That's another miracle for us–but not so much for you, Europe. Sorry.

What is a Geriatric Psychiatrist?
Baby boomers often must shoulder some of the responsibilities of health care for their elderly parents. Nowhere is this truer than with mental health. Growing older presents mental health problems that are unique to seniors. For these specific elder-related issues, it may help seniors or their adult children to consult a geriatric psychiatrist.
A geriatric psychiatrist is a medical doctor with special training in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders that may occur in older adults. These concerns include depression, the death of friends and family members, memory problems, dementia, difficulty coping with change, stress, or even poor sleep. Chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, or other medical disorders can also cause mental health woes.
"Older adults have special physical, emotional, and social needs," says the Geriatric Mental Health Foundation. "Understanding this, the geriatric psychiatrist takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment, including listening and responding to the concerns of the older adult, helping families, and when necessary, working with other health care professionals to develop effective approaches to treatment. Co-existing medical illnesses, medications, family issues, social concerns, and environmental issues are integrated into a comprehensive program of care."
A geriatric psychiatrist can see patients at his or her office, the patient's home or office, an assisted living or long-term care facility, or just about anywhere that's convenient for everyone. If you or your aging relative is in need of mental health care, ask your personal physician to refer you to a licensed geriatric psychiatrist in your area. You can also contact the Geriatric Mental Health Foundation for a referral. Go to www.gmhfonline.org or call (301) 654-7850, ext. 100.

Dolphins summon a top safety and audition kickers
A six-pack of Dolphins notes on a Saturday:
• Finding a No. 3 safety is one of several of the Dolphins' remaining needs, and Miami has taken an interest in one of the best in the draft: Stanford's Justin Reid.
Per NBC draft analyst Josh Norris, the Dolphins have booked a visit with Reid. He will be brought to South Florida for one of the team's 30 permitted pre-draft visits for non-local players.
Reid was all Pac-12 last season and a Jim Thorpe semifinalist.
He had 99 tackles, including 6.5 for loss, one sack, five interceptions and eight pass breakups last season.
His five picks were first in the Pac-12 and 11th nationally.
NFL.com's Lance Zierlein believes Reid will be drafted in the first or second round and said Reid "is what teams are looking for at the safety position in 2018. He's a plus size/speed prospect who has the athletic ability to help with man coverage and the instincts and ball skills for ball-hawking duties on the back end. Reid can get himself into some trouble when he's overly aggressive, but his positive plays far outweigh the negative.
"He has the talent to become an early starter and a good one. Reid's instincts and play traits should make him a safe selection with Pro Bowl potential down the road."
• The Dolphins, trying to find a kicker to replace Cody Parkey, are scouring the country, working out draft-eligible kickers.
This past week, they worked out New Mexico's Jason Sanders, who was 10 for 15 on field goals last year, including a 53-yard game winner to beat Tulsa in September. He was 3 for 6 from 40 to 49 yards last season but 2 for 3 from 50 plus.
He made 12 of 13 field goals in 2016 and connected on 110 of 111 extra points in three years of college kicking.
UM will get a close look at UM kicker Michael Badgley when the Hurricanes hold their Pro Day inside the Dolphins' bubble on Wednesday.
The draft has a bunch of other kickers that have NFL potential, including Auburn's Daniel Carlson, San Jose State's Bryce Crawford, UF's Eddy Piniero, Utah's Matt Gay, Notre Dame's Justin Yoon, Oregon's Aidan Schneider, Kentucky's Austin MacGinnis and Kansas State's Matthew McCrane.
We hear the Dolphins really like Auburn's Carlson and UF's Piniero.
Carlson was 23 for 31 on field goals last season, including 4 for 8 from 50 yards or more.
Piniero was 17 for 18 on field goals, including 2 for 2 from 50 yards or more.
• The Dolphins are closely studying quarterbacks who could be available on the second day of the draft, and draftnik Simon Clancy notes Miami met with Washington State's Luke Falk at his Pro Day and will attend a session with him on March 28.
Falk, Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph and perhaps Louisville's Lamar Jackson are among QB options on the second day of the draft.
• We reported a couple weeks ago that the Dolphins have told people they're open to finding their backup quarterback in the draft, if it's possible. And the Brock Osweiler signing doesn't change that. As colleague Armando Salguero wrote today, Osweiler is by no means assured of making the roster, let alone being Ryan Tannehill's backup.
Incidentally, Pro Football Focus said Osweiler was the second worst of 39 qualifying quarterbacks last year, ranked 38th overall and ahead of only Blaine Gabbert.
• The Dolphins are down to a mere $5.67 million in cap space after several signings in the past two weeks, giving them not much room to operate before June 1, when another $17 million comes off their books. (The Dolphins can get more cap relief this year by designating Ndamukong Suh as a post-June 1 cut, which they did.)
• At this point, the Dolphins' top three needs are pretty glaring: a starting linebacker, a starting tight end and a rotational defensive tackle.
A strong case could be made for Miami to use its first three picks (or three of its top four) on those positions, but the quandary will be if the team is confronted with a decision between a player who plays one of those positions and a player at another position that it ranks much higher.
That's the problem with having so many needs entering the draft. And with the Dolphins' cap situation and most of the top players already off the board in free agency, it's difficult to envision either the starting linebacker or tight end openings being filled before the draft.

The men and women who wrote the Bible were often far more honest with God than we are. They voice their frustration, confusion, and even anger with God in the midst of troubling circumstances. Through the month of November we will look at one such conversation with God. We find it in the prophet Habakkuk.
Shalom is a word we know as a traditional Jewish greeting. It's another way of saying "hello" or "have a nice day." But shalom is so much more than that. It is a word that can't be easily defined by our English language. It is a picture of something so wonderful we can hardly imagine it. It is an image of hope so beautiful that it is almost scary. This fall we will be discovering how shalom was always God's intention for us, how we can reclaim this beautiful reality, and share it with others.
One of Jesus' most regular activities was… going to parties! Sure, he did a lot of teaching and healing. But Jesus was a regular at the parties of both upstanding religious leaders and folks of questionable character. At one particular party Jesus made some very astute observations. For the next two Sundays we will look at advice Jesus gave to party-goers in Luke 14 and how that advice is good news for us today.
Next week we will kick off a summer-long series on the Ten Commandments. Pastor Nate will be leading us in a look at the first commandment using various passages in the Bible and the Heidelberg Catechism.
Resurrection Sunday! We will look at what Jesus' resurrection means for us as God's children for eternity. We will also look at how this event impacts us today as Jesus' friends.
When we think about Jesus' ministry, we usually think of miracles and healings and sermons. But perhaps the largest part of Jesus' ministry in the Gospels was telling stories. Jesus was a master storyteller. We will start a Lent series of messages called The Storyteller based on the parables of Jesus. We'll begin with the story of the Good Samaritan.
The Workers in the Vineyard March 24, 2019 no recording available
The apostle Peter has an interesting description of people who follow Jesus: Exiles. Once we become citizens of God's kingdom, we suddenly become exiles in this world. We will begin 2019 with a study of 1 Peter, discovering who we truly are and how we are called to live as exiles in this world.
If you think there is some dirt in your family tree, let me assure you that you've got nothing on Jesus! His lineage is filled with sketchy folks and terrible situations. This Advent we will look specifically at the four women in Jesus' genealogy. Our series is called A Crooked Line.
Some people believe that history is a random series of events that have no pattern or structure. We believe that history is a story that is being written by God. Through November we'll be looking at the story of the world from God's perspective. This series will draw from Our World Belongs to God, a contemporary testimony of our beliefs.
Jesus said a lot of seemingly bizarre thing during his time on earth. "The first will be last." "Blessed are those who mourn. "Lose your life to find it." So it shouldn't surprise us when we discover another counterintuitive message in his teaching: Less is more. This fall we will discover how having less actually opens us up to having far more than we ever dreamed.
We hold up the early Christian Church as the best of times for God's people. While there were certainly challenges, it was indeed a time of exponential growth, spiritual depth, and displays of God's power. It didn't happen because they had the best facilities or praise bands. In fact the key ingredient of the early Church was small Christian community that happened in homes. In the month of August we will take a closer look at the power of community in smaller forms.
The Old Testament book of Esther is a real outlier. God is never once mentioned in the entire book. It seems completely void of any spiritual content. Yet this summer we will be taking a closer look. As we scratch beneath the surface a bit, God becomes very obvious.
God raised up the Israelites to be bellwether of his justice and care for the oppressed. We will look at what it means to be a bellwether of God's kingdom today.
The early Church regularly celebrated how God was at work among them. We will join them in this important activity by celebrating how God has been at work in Ferrysburg Community Church. We will worship and hear testimonies of God's faithfulness.
Jesus is risen! Now what? What comes next for us after the resurrection? We will look at what came next for the early Christian Church. We'll look at how we can follow in their next steps and take up the same practices that helped them spread the good news.
Seven: Last Words of Christ
As we come into Palm Sunday, we will explore the final two sentences of Jesus on the cross. We will also celebrate the profession of faith of Jenna Benson and God's work in her life.

BUCKHEAD, Ga. - Butch Tucker of Moultrie earned $4,378 Saturday as winner of the third regular-season Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Bulldog Division event, held on Lake Oconee near Buckhead. He caught five bass weighing 12 pounds, 2 ounces to claim the win and 200 points in the Boater Division.
Tucker caught his bass midlake on watermelon and gold Carolina-rigged worms, primarily Zoom Trick Worms and Zoom Finesse Worms. He earned a $1,000 bonus from Ranger Boats as the highest-finishing participant in the Ranger Cup incentive program, and because his boat is powered by a Yamaha outboard, he earned another $500 from Yamaha. He also earned $1,000 from Garmin for using only Garmin electronics during the event.
Rounding out the top five boaters are Jeremy York of Loganville (five bass, 10 pounds, 1 ounce, $2,189); Scott Hayes of Newnan (three bass, 9 pounds, 13 ounces, $1,489); Greg Barwick of East Dublin (five bass, 9 pounds, 10 ounces, $1,138); and Danny Hall of Ellijay (five bass, 8 pounds, 9 ounces, $963).
Paul Anthony of Dawson earned $840 as the Boater Division big-bass winner thanks to a 5-pound, 12-ounce bass he caught on a Shad Rap.
Ronald Burdekin of Fayetteville claimed $2,185 as winner of the Co-angler Division with a five-bass catch weighing 9 pounds, 3 ounces that he caught on 5-inch green pumpkin Zoom lizard.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Hank Geylin of Columbus (three bass, 8 pounds, 11 ounces, $1,092); Vincent Martin of Woodstock (two bass, 8 pounds, 10 ounces, $743); Richard Martin of Marietta (four bass, 7 pounds, 11 ounces, $568); and Mark Winfield of Montgomery, Ala. (three bass, 7 pounds, 8 ounces, $481).
Vincent Martin took co-angler big-bass honors and $415 with a 6-pound, 6-ounce bass he caught on a chartreuse and white spinnerbait.
The Bulldog Division's next stop will be June 26 on West Point Lake in Lanett, Ala., and the regular season will come to a close Oct. 2-3 with a two-day Super Tournament on Lake Eufaula in Eufaula, Ala.
Following the regular season, the top 30 boaters and 30 co-anglers based on year-end points standings will advance to the Wheeler Lake regional near Rogersville, Ala., Oct. 19-23, where they will compete against anglers from the LBL, Mountain and Shenandoah divisions for one of six slots in the 2005 All-American. With a $100,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and $50,000 to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in competitive bass fishing.
Every angler who receives weight credit in a tournament earns points, with 200 points going to the winner, 199 for second, 198 for third, and so on except for Super Tournaments, which award 300 points to the winner, 299 for second, 298 for third, and so on. These points determine angler standings. The Bulldog Division boater who amasses the most points at the end of the regular season will earn $1,000 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader, and the co-angler earning the most points will earn $500 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader in the Co-angler Division.
The $6.3 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League features 24 divisions nationwide. In BFL competition, boaters and co-anglers are randomly paired, with boaters supplying the boat and fishing against other boaters and co-anglers fishing from the back deck against other co-anglers.

It's been kind of hot in the sanctuary the last several Sundays and for a while we thought the air conditioner was broken. It turns out that someone had been playing around with the thermostat and it was set for Monday instead of Sunday. Now I know that some of you – and I'll not mention any names here – think it's always too cold in here. And I also know that some of you – and again I'll not mention any names – think it is always too hot. Now imagine that every Sunday, we were to have thermostat wars. Some might get here really early and crank it down so that it's really cold, which suits them just fine. Of course the cold blooded ones figure this out and so they start coming earlier still to make it warmer. What is happening? Everyone is out for themselves and there is no sense of what is best for the common good. If all that matters is our own comfort and needs without giving any thought to others we would not have a sense of the common good.
This morning we continue to look at the teaching about spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 and specifically what the purposes of gifts are in the church. The purpose of gifts, according to these verses, is the common good. What does that mean? God gives gifts to His people so that together, as the church of Jesus Christ, we may build each other up and so build His church so that we all as a community may be blessed. Let's read 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.
I. First of all, verses 7 and 11 make it clear who receives these gifts.
If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have a gift from the Holy Spirit. Gifts are not just for the outstanding people within the church; they are given to each one. Verse 7: "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given." Verse 11: "All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines." Everyone has a gift, and in fact, every person will likely have more than one. For example, the Apostle Paul had a wide range of spiritual gifts. He was an exceptional Apostle, but this shows it is possible to have more than just one gift. You may not be aware of what they are, but each of you most likely has more than one gift.
Notice that Paul describes spiritual gifts as "manifestations of the Spirit." A manifestation is when something becomes evident or obvious. For example, if I were to go to the piano and try to play something our pianists play, it would become manifest that I can't play the piano. When you listen to our pianists play the piano, it becomes obvious or evident or manifest that they know how to play the piano and play it very well! Paul says that each believer has received the manifestation of the Spirit. In other words, as each person seeks to serve the Lord, it will become evident that they have received gifts from the Holy Spirit. But more than that, it will become evident to those who observe that the Spirit of God is working in each person.
A church that uses its gifts not only has the presence of God in worship, but also in the daily lives and actions of the people. When the Spirit and His gifts are being made manifest, we will be able to see gifts in others. One important way we can learn what gifts we have is by others seeing those gifts in us. And we can encourage one another when we see evidence of gifts in each other. We can tell them: "I think you have the gift of encouragement or showing mercy." It may confirm something that the person already thought but wasn't quite sure of.
II. Verse 7 also gives very important insight as to what the purpose of gifts is.
Paul says that gifts are given for "the common good." The gifts are given not just so that one person can benefit. They are for the common good or literally for the profit of all. We as a church are a body, not just a collection of individual people. We have something amazing in common: faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that if we confess our sins to the Lord and if we believe that Jesus' death on the cross was for me, Jesus saves us from the punishment of sin and death. That faith unites us, binds us together, and makes us into a unit. This is something that will be developed more in verses 14-27. The emphasis is clearly on gifts working in the community so that the community as a whole may thrive and prosper.
This has some important implications for today. Our culture today is becoming increasingly more individualistic. It seems that increasingly, it is not just "me first," but "me alone." People don't care if they abuse others or destroy others with drugs or sexual abuse. People rob or kill others in our society because they believe in "me first and me alone." The common good in general is increasingly difficult to find in our culture. The church can be swept along in this attitude as well. Many believe, "The church exists to meet my needs, period!"
One pastor tells of one instance of this. This pastor said that he was in the supermarket one day, and a lady came down the aisle, screeched to a halt within a few feet of him and said, "I left your church. I left your church." So the pastor said, "Well, if it's my church, it was a very wise decision. If it's my church, I think I'm going to leave too." Undaunted, the woman said, "Don't you want to know why I left?" The pastor said, "No, not particularly, but I think I'm going to find out." The woman said, "You weren't meeting my needs." The pastor answered, "I don't ever recollect seeing you before or talking to you, let alone knowing your needs. Did you ever tell anyone specifically what your needs were?" The woman couldn't recall that she had, so the pastor raised another question: "Can you tell me, if we have 5,000 people sitting in that church, all with your attitude, how anyone's needs are going to be met? If you reserve the right to have that attitude, then you must give everybody the freedom to have that attitude. And if everybody has that attitude, who on earth is going to do all the need-meeting?" Standing her ground, the woman demanded, "Then you tell me who will." Relieved, the pastor said, "I thought you'd never ask. This is what will work: When people stop sitting in the pew saying, 'They're not meeting my needs' and start saying, 'Whose needs can I meet?' Then needs will be met. When the servant spirit flourishes in a congregation, then they minister to each other as unto the Lord."
The common good means we look for needs that others have that may not be being met. The spiritual gifts are given for the common good. The question is do we want what is good for me or is it good for all of us in common?
III. Then in verses 8-10, we find a sampling of the gifts.
Let's look very briefly at the nine gifts that are mentioned here. The first two are words of wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom may reflect the Old Testament theme of practical insight. A word of wisdom may be the calming or insightful comment made by one who through their Christian experience helps others to see things from the right perspective. Knowledge may be more the content of the Christian faith. It may be the gift of being able to say the right biblical teaching at the appropriate time to the benefit of others. The gift, however, is the ability to say the wise or knowledgeable thing at the right time.
The next gift mentioned is that of faith. This is faith that goes beyond the gift of believing faith which God gives to all believers. This is a gift that enables a person to look through or beyond the immediate situation and know God's love and grace will always be there. It is the spiritual ability to know that God will do good in spite of all evidence to the contrary.
The next two gifts are gifts of healing and miraculous powers. This healing gift is the kind that we read of in the gospels and the book of Acts which go beyond ordinary medical skills. Miracles are demonstrations of God's great power in doing things that are beyond the natural.
Next is the gift of prophecy. Typically when we think of prophecy we think of predicting the future. However, the emphasis is more on proclaiming what God has said. This is the ability to proclaim inspired words conveying the message of God to those who hear.
Next is the gift of discernment or distinguishing between spirits. This is the ability to determine whether or not a prophecy or an action is from God. A person with this gift would be able to see whether something is from God or Satan or merely of human origin.
Finally, there are the gifts of speaking in tongues and interpretation. Speaking in tongues is the ability to speak in an unknown language, but the person doesn't know what he is saying. Interpretation of tongues is the ability for someone else to hear the words and interpret what was said to the others. Later on, Paul makes it clear that these gifts, while extraordinary, are not in fact the most desirable and can be misused; there are many other more important gifts.
Now this list is not exhaustive by any means. There are other places in the New Testament where gifts are listed. There is another list of gifts when we get to the end of the chapter. Paul also lists spiritual gifts in Ephesians 4 and Romans 12 and we will be looking at those gifts as well. The point is that if you don't sense that you have one of these gifts, there will be others. Moreover, your gift may not be an extraordinary one, but that doesn't make it unimportant.
Our first inclination is to want what seems to be the obvious, but the seemingly less obvious and less important are very important as well. Paul's point is that all the gifts are given for the good of the church and must be used for the mutual building of the church.
IV. Finally, just a word on who decides the gifts?
In verse 11, we see the beauty of the unity and diversity of the gifts. Paul says, "all these" which points to the vast variety of gifts, but all these come from one and the same Spirit. Moreover, verse 11 makes it clear that the gifts are determined by the Spirit. We don't get to choose which gift we want to have. The Holy Spirit looks at us and the church of which we are a part and gives us gifts that can be used in that place. They are given by God and determined by God because God knows the needs in the church that the gifts will address. While we may question the gifts we have or wonder at why we have what we have or others have what they have, we must remember that it is God who gives and arranges the gifts and does so beautifully.
However, Pete Carroll says, "We have an approach to help each guy be the very best he can possibly be. We'll take a very precise look at each guy and find out his uniqueness and discover what he brings that's special, then fit it into our football team."
That gives a hint of what God does in the church when he distributes spiritual gifts. Only the goal is not a mere Super Bowl championship, but rather the mission of Jesus Christ. And that is something that we must all work together on using each of our various gifts. Even though we may wonder at our gift, God has given it to us and will show us how we can use it within the body of Christ. We must seek to use what we have been given to build this church. As you learn what your gift is, make sure that you seek to use it as part of this community. How will you use your gift for the common good of this church?

MANASSAS, VA - A February 22nd Capital News Service story claimed, "Western Prince William Del. Bob Marshall (R-13th) says disabled children are God's punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy." I never made this statement. I believe that all children, no matter their background are a blessing from the Lord, not a punishment. Capital News Service never called me about these alleged comments.
No other reporter who attended the same February 18th press conference regarding Planned Parenthood funding made the same claim for the simple reason that I never made such a statement about disabled children.
A video of the press conference bears this out. (May be accessed in its entirety at the end of this article)
Furthermore, my personal and public life show a respect for unwanted or disabled children, including our adoption of three children, my bills to provide for health insurance for autistic children, and my bill this year requiring that women be informed of possible problems in future pregnancies from abortion.
I acknowledge that my extemporary remarks could have been better chosen to explain the medical research findings which show a high incidence of complications following induced abortions.
I understand how disability groups could react, but they are reacting in part to words I never said, never meant, and don't believe. But I apologize to all for the misuse of my words especially to disabled Virginians or others offended.
My purpose was to show how authentic medical findings demonstrate that abortion has consequences beyond the death of the child being aborted. That is why I have proposed HB 334, which passed the House of Delegates 95-2, and which requires women undergoing abortion to be offered medical articles concerning possible complications in future pregnancies.
I take my oath of office seriously, and believe it is important to protect my constituents by ensuring full transparency about a procedure that may adversely impact their future reproductive health. That is why I strongly believe that Planned Parenthood, which performs one-fourth of abortions nationwide and opposes protecting women with this vital information, should not be funded by Virginia taxpayers.
Children, whether wanted or unwanted, intended or unintended, "normal" or disabled, are blessings from a loving God, and I will continue to fight on their behalf and on behalf of the courageous families who care for these wonderful children.
Fighting for you,
Delegate Bob Marshall 13th District Delegate
FULL TRANSCRIPT: Verbatim. The TRT is 2:05:
"Thank you very much for coming here today. We are dealing with an attempt to defund, frankly, a malevolent organization. And I say that because you know people by their fruits. In 1960, 65, the out of wed-lock birthrate for blacks was 25 percent. I think it was about 23 percent in 1960 - it was 5 percent for all races. Now it's 40 percent. It's 72% for blacks, 51% for Latinas. These are the fruits of planned parenthood. OK. Nothing else. More heartache. More guys who are completely irresponsible and think that women have one function and one function only for a few minutes. OK. But this just isn't affecting our families, our inner cities, our communities and our state. This poison animates a world-wide population control program that the United States funds and which is unnecessarily making us enemies overseas. We are attacking traditional family structure in a way that no country should be doing. These aren't my words. Go read a book by Denesh DeSouza. Ok. He's looking at it from a cultural, historical perspective. This organization should be called Planned Barrenhood cause they have nothing to do with families, they have nothing to do with responsibility. One-fourth of all abortions are done by Planned Parenthood in the United States. Ok. The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion who have handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first-born of any, Nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children. In the Old Testament, the first-born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There's a special punishment Christians would suggest, and with the knowledge they have from faith has been verified by a study by the Virginia Commonwealth University. First abortions of the first pregnancy are much more damaging to the woman than latter abortions. None of these are good for anybody but this organization has had its time. They have failed in their efforts and we need to defund them and not have them receive a dime of public money."
