It impacts your property, land adjacent to your home and your roads. And it has recently riled up homeowners living in a Kings Mountain neighborhood.
A property owner and some residents of the West End Neighborhood Association have struggled for months to agree on one property�s future. Amazing Kids Daycare is located on the property in question, 813 W. Mountain St.
The property is currently zoned residential. The classification allows for development of homes and even small in-home businesses, according to Steve Killian, director of planning and economic development for the city of Kings Mountain.
The property owner, David Faunce, recently asked Kings Mountain City Council to approve rezoning the site for a conditional use office permit.
�The plan before you this evening would have severe detrimental impact on the neighborhood if you approve this permit,� Helen Hatch, a neighborhood resident, told council after the presentation. �Kids next door to this property playing baseball would be less than 20 feet away from this property.�
Hatch wasn�t the only resident who spoke against Faunce's proposal to rezone the property for business or commercial use.
�I see it as a business corner,� Faunce said.
But it's still unclear what type of business he wants to operate on the property because it's unclear what type of zoning permit the city will approve.
Common topic
Kings Mountain can see as many as 16 rezoning cases per year, Killian said. In 2012, Shelby approved six property rezones, according to City of Shelby Planning Director Walt Scharer.
Zoning entails many specifics. Some include a property�s function, an entrance and exit for cars and landscaping. State law requires municipalities to hold a public hearing on any zoning case.
Melvin Ware, who lives in Blacksburg, S.C., co-owns a home adjacent from the daycare in Kings Mountain.
�Depending on what he puts there, it could hurt our property values. Who wants to buy a home with a business sitting right in front of it?� Ware asked.
The property sits on three fronts: Phifer Road, West Mountain and King streets. The National Register of Historic Places recognizes a portion of West Mountain Street.
�I haven�t received phone calls about this property because it�s been perceived to be difficult to pursue,� Faunce said. �They (residents) feel the whole street should stay residential, including my piece of property.�
What does zoning involve?
Planning and zoning boards review zoning cases first. Then city councils vote on an issue, and the decision doesn�t have to mirror the board�s suggestion of an approval or denial.
�But the council needs to recognize what the planning and zoning board did,� Scharer said.
At first, Faunce asked for a commercial rezone. Then, he asked for a conditional use office permit, allowing only for a select set of uses such as an office for a doctor, certified public accountant or real estate.
Still, the proposed new building�s height and width raised questions with some residents. The building�s original structure included 8,000 square feet for a two-story building. Faunce said he trimmed measurements to accommodate a one-story building with no more than 6,500 square feet of space.
�That�s why we�re butting heads,� Faunce said.
Faunce, residents and city staff have met several times since March to find a common ground.
�It�s the city�s goal to make sure rezoning is safe and cost-efficient with land uses to benefit residents. Zoning is one of the tools that make land uses connect with infrastructure such as rail, gas water and electricity,� Killian said.
Resolution in sight?
Shelby City Council approved a conditional use permit two years ago similar to one on the table for Faunce in Kings Mountain. The matter involved a building partially occupied by Fisherman�s Feast on East Marion Street.
�They wanted the ability to lease out more parts of the building for other uses,� Scharer said. �(The permit) has a limited number of uses, such as a beauty shop, barbershop and medical office.�
Faunce wants the same type of permit approved. The city of Kings Mountain planning and zoning board voted 4-2 on the permit request before the council�s March meeting. But city council members decided to review the issue at a later date after listening to resident concerns.
�We�re being very cautious on what we would allow here,� Ware said. �We just want to protect a quiet residential street.�
Scharer said zoning can change roads and property uses, whether a resident lives next to or adjacent from the location in question. It involves more than grouping land parcels into certain zones. It�s an outlook of what cities aim to achieve in the coming years with developments involving houses, businesses and industries.
�If you see a zoning sign, please call. Find out how it affects you. We�re here to share that information,� Scharer said.
Faunce said he doesn�t know what else could be changed on the property to obtain the permit. Other property issues included future hours of operation.
�I�ve eliminated a lot of uses for this property such as an Urgent Care. I don�t think they really want business on that corner,� he said.
Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey said city council members plan to hear an update on the case this month. Kings Mountain�s council meets Tuesday.
Ware said he�s unsure if anything would be agreed on that soon.

Come On, Let Your Colors Burn: Fireworks Art For The 4th
The noise of fireworks might freak me out each & every year, but oh, I do love the sight. When the sky drips with gold, my heart flutters, and the world is a bit more magical. In keeping with my philosophy of Seasonal (Not Holiday) Decoration, I've rounded up my favorite works of art featuring fireworks..
1. I've loved Rachell Sumpter's art ever since I saw her show at Giant Robot in San Francisco years ago, and am thrilled whenever she makes prints of her amazing paintings. Her Grande Finale is available through 20x200, but sadly, there are only two large ($2400) prints remaining.
2. & 3. Sure, Rosemarie Fiore's paintings evoke fireworks, but the coolest thing is that she paints with fireworks. Oddity Central has some amazing photos of her in action- so tough!
4. Jim Flora was an artist who specialized in album covers and children's books, and he made this Ferris Wheel Fireworks illustration for the book The Day The Cow Sneezed. Now it is available as a very limited edition print.
5. I love this Bombs Bursting In Air photo by Stoopidgerl because it reminds me not just of fireworks, but of jellyfish and phosphorescent sea creatures and maybe even lightning bugs.
6. After all that hoopla, Gold Teeth Brooklyn's Fireworks card seems so calm and quiet- like silent fireworks. Maybe someday...

Rangers score on balk to prevail in 10th
SEATTLE -- Ten minutes after the game was over, Rangers manager Ron Washington still didn't know what Mariners pitcher Danny Farquhar did that made home-plate umpire CB Bucknor call a balk.
"No, and I didn't ask," Washington said. "I just saw CB call a balk and started smiling."View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- Ten minutes after the game was over, Rangers manager Ron Washington still didn't know what Mariners pitcher Danny Farquhar did that made home-plate umpire CB Bucknor call a balk.
"No, and I didn't ask," Washington said. "I just saw CB call a balk and started smiling."View Full Game Coverage
Ian Kinsler didn't see the balk either, but he did stroll home from third base with the go-ahead run in the 10th inning of the Rangers' 4-3 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday night at Safeco Field.
"I wasn't paying attention," Kinsler said. "I was focused on what I was going to do, like on a passed ball, baserunning things. I didn't see it."
Kinsler said he couldn't remember a game ending like this one did.
"I'll remember this one," Kinsler said after the Rangers won for the 18th time in 24 games this month to remain 2 1/2 games ahead of the Athletics in the American League West.
"Crazy, but a win is a win no matter how," shortstop Elvis Andrus said.
The Rangers, in a 3-3 game, hadn't scored since the second inning when with one out in the 10th Kinsler singled off of Farquhar. Adrian Beltre also singled, putting runners on first and second with A.J. Pierzynski at the plate.
Kinsler noticed on the first pitch to Pierzynski that Farquhar was using a high leg kick in his delivery. Farquhar did so again on the second pitch, and Kinsler swiped third base.
"I anticipated on the second pitch, he gave it to me and I went," Kinsler said.
"That was huge," Washington said. "He's a smart baserunner. The opportunity was there and he took advantage of it."
Farquhar induced a foulout from Pierzynski, leaving Kinsler standing at third base with two outs. But with Alex Rios at the plate, Bucknor called the balk on Farquhar.
"He was looking in for his sign, and he started up and stopped and moved his left shoulder," Bucknor said. "Any movement associated with his set position -- he doesn't come and stop -- is a balk."
Neither Farquhar nor Mariners manager Eric Wedge put up an argument. Wedge asked for an explanation and seemed satisfied with the answer.
"Oh yeah, it was definitely, I think it was a balk," Farquhar said. "It was very minor, but the rules say it's a balk. I had to go back and look at the video to see it because, to be honest, at the time I had no idea. I mean, it was the slightest flinch, but it was a flinch."
Wedge, whose team has lost five straight, was more annoyed about Kinsler stealing third.
"Very subtle but enough where it's a balk," Wedge said. "Just tough luck. First of all, we can't allow the guy to get to third base."
Joe Nathan allowed a hit and a walk in the 10th but got out of the jam by inducing a groundout from Michael Saunders to end the game. Nathan, who was pitching for the first time in five games, earned his 38th save. Tanner Scheppers picked up the victory.
The Rangers' bullpen combined for four scoreless innings behind starter Derek Holland, but Scheppers had the toughest job in the ninth. Neal Cotts started the inning by giving up a single to Saunders. Dustin Ackley then popped up a bunt attempt that went over Cotts' head as he charged off the mound. Cotts couldn't recover to make a play, and the Mariners had two on with nobody out.
Scheppers took over from there, firing one fastball after another at 96-98 mph. He got Humberto Quintero to pop out on another bunt attempt, then struck out Nick Franklin and Brad Miller to end the inning.
"Scheppers was dynamic," Washington said. "He just overpowered them. We certainly needed it and he did it."
This marks the 25th straight game that Rangers pitchers have allowed five runs or fewer, the longest such streak in club history. Rangers starter Derek Holland had trouble from the beginning but was able to hold the Mariners to three runs in six innings and leave with the game tied.
Holland struggled through the first four innings, allowing eight of 18 batters to reach base on four walks and four hits. The leadoff batter reached base in all four innings. He walked two of the first three batters he faced, and they both ended up scoring.
Franklin Gutierrez led off the third with a home run but Holland, after getting some pointed advice from Kinsler and backup catcher Geovany Soto, allowed just three singles and a walk beyond that point.
"The first inning was very frustrating," Holland said. "A lot of mechanics going wrong, I was leaving the ball up. I got a little frustrated and let my emotions eat me up. After that, I settled down and got stronger as the game went on."
The Rangers scored three off of Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma in the second inning but did not cross the plate again until the 10th. They needed a balk to finally score but the Rangers weren't complaining.
"Any time you win a hard-fought game, it adds to the confidence of the club and the toughness of the club," Kinsler said. "This was a hard-fought game."

Our body has a vigorous natural defense mechanism but our immune systems are ill-prepared to deal with the constant barrage of chemicals swirling in our 21st century environment. These substances encourage oxidation which can result in premature aging, cellular mutation, and inflammation. If the downward spiral of cell deterioration continues long enough, chronic disease can arise.
In 2005, a team of doctors needed to create a natural product to quickly strengthen the immune system. They were treating a group of youth with terminal illnesses and didn't have any time to waste.
After vigorous research, the team discovered that some seeds had extremely high concentrations of a broad spectrum of essential nutrients. This was the origin of Rain's first seed based nutritional synthesis: Soul.
Soul contains the concentrated nutrition of the Black Cumin Seed, the Black Raspberry Seed, and the Chardonnay Grape Seed.
The Black Raspberry Seed contains phytonutrients including ellagitannins and anthocyanin, which are effective antioxidants that support numerous bodily systems and overall good health. Antioxidants seek out and eliminate cell damaging substances, called Free Radicals. Free Radicals transpire naturally in the body or from exposure to environmental toxins.
The Chardonnay Grape Seed is a source of powerful flavonoids which promote mental functions including memory and concentration. For millennia, the Black Cumin Seed was prized as a multi-purpose herbal remedy. It has been used for digestive health, respiratory function, high blood pressure, immune support and a host of other conditions.
Rain uses a unique cold-press operation to carefully extract and each seed's healing nutrients. They use every single grain of nutrients from every single seed, including the seed's antioxidants, phytosteroids, essential fatty acids, phospholipids, and dissolved minerals.

- Description
More cushioned than the Nike Free RN Motion Flyknit, the Nike Free RN Women's Running Shoe features a newly designed midsole pattern that expands, flexes and contracts with your foot with every step. Its lightweight, breathable mesh upper helps keep your feet cool and comfortable from start to finish.
The next-generation Nike Free midsole expands in multiple directions thanks to an entirely new tri-star pattern, adding a new dimension of flexibility that lets your feet move more dynamically with every stride. Plus, the heel is rounded to mimic the shape of your foot and roll naturally with the ground.
Softer than previous iterations, the new midsole foam delivers exceptionally comfortable cushioning and lightweight durability for miles.
Engineered mesh provides lightweight, flexible support and breathable comfort. Flywire cables integrate with the laces and can be adjusted for an adaptive fit.
- Minimal sockliner moulds to the shape of your foot for added support
- Lightweight solid rubber segments under the toe and heel for enhanced traction and durability
- Weight: 196 grams (women's size 5.5)
After learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot on the university's golf course, three of Nike's most innovative and creative employees set out to develop a shoe that felt natural and weightless, similar to bare feet. The team spent eight years studying the biomechanics of runners' feet in motion. The results yielded a profound understanding of the foot's natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, allowing Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out.

I want to make a remote focus/ auto focus system for my DSLR camera
but the latter is practicably possible with the Arduino due to processing power
Hey. I want to make a remote focus/ auto focus system for my DSLR camera and have so far gathered some pieces together.
Arduino UNO Hitec HS-785HB servo that rotates 3.5 rotationsMaxbotix XL-MaxSonar-AE14-Digit, 7-Segment DisplayLinear Potentiometer "slider 60"Need to get hold of a button to trigger "autofocus"
Maybe im completely off, but these are my thoughts. Maxbotix XL-MaxSonar-AE1 reads the distance and sends the this to the 4-Digit, 7-Segment Display all of the time. Hitec HS-785HB servo that rotates 3.5 rotations gets manually calibrated to say 6 distances. 30cm, 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters, 5meters and infinity. These values get stored somehow. "At 5 meters servo is at this location"Now when the distance is 1 meter 30 cm, the location of the servo will be at postion "1 meter" + 30 cm. How to write this code is more than I can comprehend.then, when pressing a button, the "autofocus" is triggered, and lens is focused. I also want to be able to manually focus with linear potentiometer. This seems to be is pretty straight forward. Also attached a sketch. I will pay decent to get help with this project. Give me an offer. Would be helpful if person is located in NY/ Brooklyn. Semi urgent. Many thanks/ Sigurd

Ecology of hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) on a western Caribbean foraging ground
Posted on 15 May 2009
We present results of an inwater research program focusing on basic ecology of juvenile hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the Cayman Islands.We present results of an inwater research program focusing on basic ecology of juvenile hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the Cayman Islands. We made 206 captures of 135 hawksbills in Little Cayman (LC) and 103 captures of 97 hawksbills in Grand Cayman (GC). The Cayman Islands aggregation demonstrated a broad size distribution (20.5–62.6 cm straight carapace length), slow growth rate (3.0 ± 0.9 cm yr−1), and multiple recaptures, suggesting long-term residence in some individuals.
Demonstrated home range was small (mean distance from capture to recapture 545 ± 514 m, range 2–2080 m) although an international tag return suggested a long-range developmental migration. Vertical features provided important habitat in LC, and larger turtles were generally captured in deeper waters. Behavior at sighting varied by habitat: resting, swimming, and feeding were observed in coral reef, reef wall, and hardbottom colonized by sponges and gorgonians, and resting was frequently observed in uncolonized hardbottom.
Images obtained from underwater photographers enhanced understanding of hawksbill foraging behavior: turtles fed on sponges (particularly the leathery barrel sponge, Geodia neptuni), by scraping the reef, and occasionally by consuming thimble jellyfish Linuche unguiculata. Intra- and interspecific interactions were recorded: an apparently commensal feeding relationship was noted with gray Pomacanthus arcuatus, French Pomacanthus paru, and queen angelfish Holacanthus ciliaris and aggressive, possibly territorial, interactions between hawksbills were observed. We also documented causes of injury and mortality in the study area – including legal, illegal and incidental take, vessel collisions, hurricanes, and natural predation.

Reading continued their fine recent form by thrashing fellow Coca-Cola Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday 5-0 as the Owls slipped into the bottom three.
Winger Jimmy Kebe and striker Grzegorz Rasiak both scored twice and fellow forward Simon Church grabbed a spectacular goal as the resurgent Royals cruised to the three points.
Both sides kicked off hovering just above the relegation zone but Reading seemed to have turned the corner since Brian McDermott took charge and have gained confidence from their run to the FA Cup quarter finals.
Owls boss Alan Irvine has work to do to prevent a drop into League One however after a wretched performance in which only goalkeeper Lee Grant impressed.
Wednesday were hit for six at the Madejski last season and will not relish a return to Berkshire in the near future.
Rasiak was making a rare start up front and came close to an opener inside two minutes but floated a header onto the roof of the net from Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick.
Wednesday midfielder Darren Potter then lashed in a drive from the edge of the area which was kept out by a strong wrist from Adam Federici before Rasiak went close again.
Sigurdsson was again involved on the left and after he retrieved a long ball from Kebe he found Rasiak in the area but the Poland international's header was tipped over by Grant.
Former England left-back Michael Gray then stung the palms of Federici after a swift counter-attack from Wednesday before the visitors' inability to deal with Rasiak almost cost them yet again.
Sigurdsson provided the delivery - this time from a corner - and Rasiak rose highest to thunder a header on goal but Grant made another fabulous stop.
The Royals were well on top and finally forged ahead in the 42nd minute.
Jay Tabb carried the ball forward down the right before squaring to Kebe 25 yards from goal. The winger unleashed a powerful shot which took a deflection off Richard Hinds to wrong foot the unfortunate Grant and find the back of the net.
And McDermott's side were quick to double their lead in first-half stoppage time after more good play from the excellent Sigurdsson.
The Icelander dribbled past two defenders inside the area before calmly picking out Church in space. Church's shot was well saved by Grant but only to the feet of Rasiak, who tapped into an open goal.
Irvine introduced Leon Clarke and Tommy Miller at the break but the home side took just seven minutes to increase their lead through Church's ninth of the season.
Rasiak flicked the ball on to his strike partner who looked to have been forced wide.
But the Wales striker cut in on his left foot and arrowed a stunning 20-yard strike across Grant and into the top corner via the upright.
Wednesday had all but given up and Rasiak made it four in the 65th minute. Kebe skipped down the right and played in a low cross to the near post where Rasiak slid in to hammer home.
And the in-form Kebe - who has often failed to deliver any final product for most of his Reading career - made it five goals in his last five games with the fifth in the 71st minute.
Centre-halves Hinds and Mark Beevers made a hash of clearing the ball and Kebe stole in to hammer an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net.

KELTON, Pa. — State police say two troopers were injured when their patrol car went off the road and hit a tree head-on as they were responding to a burglary call.
Police in Chester County say the vehicle veered off Route 796 in Penn Township on a curve at about 5:30 a.m. Friday.
Both troopers lost consciousness and the car caught fire, fully engulfing the front of the vehicle.
Other troopers responding to the same accident put out the blaze using a fire extinguisher and running to nearby homes to get buckets of water.
One trooper was treated and released. The other was listed in stable condition in Christiana Hospital.
Police said the burglary call came from an elderly woman "who was confused and may be suffering from some form of dementia."

By all accounts the blue-claw crab population is bursting at Georgica Pond's scenic seams. According to one crabber, chicken-neck bait is hardly necessary. A slow walk in the shallows with an occasional stop will bring blue crabs to your feet. Best not to linger too long. Or, have a scoop net handy.
The annual fishing tournament held from Uihlein's Marina in Montauk to benefit the East Hampton Kiwanis Club and the Montauk Friends of Erin was hard fought this year. In the end, Richard Rade Jr. took first place. He had the highest cumulative weight after catching fish from the contest's four target species — a 28-pound striped bass, a 11.5-pound bluefish, a 6.95-pound fluke, and a 5.5-pound sea bass. For his efforts, Rade took home a brand-new 225-horsepower Mercury outboard motor.
Charlie Etzel took second place with the help of a 10.35-pound fluke. Despite his 45.4-pound striper, Hugh Chancey came in third.
There was a notable clinch catch during the tournament. Francine Mastrangelo, 11, caught the monster 5.5-pound sea bass to help put Rade's Marie E boat over the top.
Last week's unofficial surfcasting award goes to Chris Valenti, who hooked what he thought was a blue shark from the beach in Amagansett on Aug. 16. Turned out it was a six-foot-long, 90-pound brown shark, also known as a sandbar shark. They bite. He was helped landing the beast by his father, Charlie Valenti.
Speaking of sharks, anglers aboard Capt. Ray Ruddock's Abracadabra boat out of the West Lake Marina did battle with six blue sharks about 18 miles south of Montauk. A 250-pounder "pulled on everybody," Ruddock said. Also spotted here and there were schools of small mahimahi.
And, speaking of offshore fishing and mahimahi, Jason Libath, Phil Cangiolosi, and Eric Flaherty took off in the morning dark on Monday for a 100-mile run to Atlantis Canyon in search of tuna. They trolled and trolled to no avail, then decided to slip over the side into a giant school of mahimahi with masks, snorkels, fins, and spearguns. A few dozen were caught. Suddenly, Flaherty said, "they all disappeared." Time to get back in the boat.
Closer to shore, Gardiner's Bay continues to be chockablock with porgies, many of them big enough to fillet, dust with cornmeal or flour, and fry in olive oil and garlic.
Ken Rafferty, a light-tackle and fly guide who usually plies the waters north of Gardiner's Bay, has been going east to outer Shagwong Point, Montauk, where he continues to find very large bluefish up to 15 pounds. "We're getting them on surface poppers," he said, adding that the fish seemed to be chasing tinker mackerel. No sign yet of Spanish mackerel, false albacore, or bonito, he said. His fishing logs go back a decade or two. "The earliest I've seen falsies is Aug. 16."
West Lake Marina reported a day of excellent fluke fishing on Aug. 17, with four fluke weighing in at over nine pounds. All were caught south of Montauk in about 60 feet of water.
On Saturday, the Flying Dutchman boat left West Lake at midnight. It returned on Saturday with a 135-pound bigeye tuna and a swordfish that dressed out at 103 pounds. The Dutchman also had a number of albacore tuna up to 60 pounds.
Harvey Bennett of the Tackle Shop in Amagansett said surfcasters using clam baits continued to catch striped bass at Georgica, Main Beach, and along Napeague beaches.

Product Details
Factory Style Flush Mount Rear Spoiler with Light by Pure®. Upgrade your car's appearance with this flush mount rear spoiler. Unlike many that look like an add-on afterthought, this spoiler is styled like the factory unit, so it will perfectly accentuate your car's fine lines. It comes with everything required for an easy installation.
- Factory high performance design
- Available painted or unpainted
- Incorporates 3rd brake light
- Comes with everything required for installation
- Backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
Automobile manufacturers usually put spoilers on the performance models. Maybe you didn't order that model or maybe you bought your car used; for whatever reason your car is without a spoiler. Well, go "spoilerless" no longer! Now you can have the same high performance style as the factory hot rod for your car. This flush mount spoiler will enhance your car's silhouette and set it apart from ordinary models.
The Factory Style Flush Mount Rear Spoiler is made of high quality material. The spoiler comes with everything necessary for a hassle free installation, including detailed instructions. A 3rd brake light is also included, for increased safety.
And although it can be ordered unpainted, Pure strongly encourages you to select the painted option. The company's computerized paint mixing system enables them to guarantee that your spoiler will match your factory paint, and it's unlikely that a local body shop will be able to paint your spoiler for less than the price difference.
The Factory Style Flush Mount Rear Spoiler is manufactured in the USA. Pure warrants the spoiler against manufacturer's defects for a period of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Pure® is a premier manufacturer of quality aftermarket spoilers for all makes and models. The company's knowledgeable personnel produce over 500 part numbers with quality craftsmanship in their Grand Prairie, Texas facility that features in-house tooling and painting departments. In this highly competitive market, Pure stays ahead of their rivals with new product development that enables them to be first to market with the newest products, vehicle specific designs and numerous "no drill" applications.

Jesus' woes are the angry laments of wounded love, incited by compassion for those whom religious leaders have led astray (see 23:37). Second-century rabbis, probably passing on many ideas from the Pharisees of Jesus' day, harshly condemned hypocrisy (for example, t. Yoma 5:12). Christians today often think of "Pharisees" as hypocrites and hence do not feel threatened when hearing them denounced. But the Pharisees' contemporaries thought of them as very devoted practitioners of the Bible, and of the scribes as experts in biblical laws. In today's terms, Jesus was thundering against many popular preachers and people who seemed to be living holy lives--because they were practicing human religion rather than serving God with purified hearts.
I suspect that much of what passes for Christianity today is little more than human religion with the name of Jesus tacked onto it, because like most of the religion of Jesus' contemporaries, it has failed to transform its followers into Christ's servants passionately devoted to his mission in the world. When rightly understood, Jesus' woes may strike too close to home for comfort. When religion becomes a veneer of holiness to conceal unholy character, it makes its bearers less receptive to God's transforming grace.
They are eager to make converts, but their converts simply mimic and accentuate their flaws. (One thinks by contrast of the stone-drunk man who told D. L. Moody, "I'm one of your converts," to which Moody reportedly replied, "I can certainly see you're not one of the Lord's.") Although Judaism had no central sending agency, hence no "missionaries" in the formal sense, plenty of evidence testifies that many Jewish people were winning Gentiles to Judaism (for example, Jos. Ant. 20.17, 34-36; Apion 2.210; Tac. History 5.5). Jewish people actively courted many conversions in the Gentile world until Christian emperors began enforcing earlier Roman laws to shut down Jewish proselytism (see Jeremias 1958:11-12). Presumably by exposing converts to the truth of God's standards while allowing hypocrisy through their own bad example (23:3, 13), these Pharisees were leading their converts to be doubly damned.
As in 23:19, Jewish people viewed the altar as consecrating whatever was offered on it (Bonsirven 1964:124). Pharisees may have prohibited swearing by the gold of the temple because they believed that it, unlike the temple or the altar, was subject to lien (Gundry 1982:463); in any case, Jesus rejects their reasoning. Jesus rails in part against traditions that have created inconsistent standards of holiness. (We might compare churches today that rightly condemn smoking or overeating as polluting the body yet remain silent on watching television programs that pollute the mind. Some traditional churches regard particular styles of clothing or music as "worldly" yet harbor jealousy, materialism and other attitudes the Bible explicitly condemns as worldly. Some churches fight for the authority of Scripture yet care so little for it in practice that they ignore the context of verses or explain away passages that seem too difficult, like God's demand that Christians care for the poor or witness to their neighbor.) But Jesus' attack is ultimately directed against the profanation of God's name. Because any surrogate oath nevertheless represents God's name and implicitly calls him to witness, any breach of truthfulness demands judgment no less severe.
Pharisees were particularly known for their scrupulousness in tithing (as in ARN 41A; Borg 1987:89). Building their fence around the law, these religious people were careful about tithing even substances whose status as foodstuffs was disputed, so that it was not clear whether the Old Testament agrarian tithe applied to them (compare Jeremias 1969:254). Jesus accepts that the leaders should have kept these biblical laws but insists that they have missed the forest for the trees (compare 7:3-5); their neglect of the law's basic requirements (Deut 10:12-13; Mic 6:8) is inexcusable.
Like Jesus, most Jewish teachers recognized some commandments as more important, literally "weightier," than others (compare Johnston 1982:207). Although he, like his contemporaries, regarded no commandment as light (see comment on 5:19; compare Jas 2:10-11; m. 'Abot 4:2), Jesus himself taught much about "weightier" matters, even in this context (Mt 23:5, 17, 19). Today as well, many of us separate from or condemn other Christians on the basis of our interpretations of isolated passages while neglecting broader principles (like charity or the equal standing of all believers in Christ).
Jesus illustrates the inconsistency in verse 24 with a witty illustration about Pharisees who were more scrupulous than Pharisaic legal rulings required. If a fly fell into one's drink, Pharisees taught that it must be strained out before it died, lest it contaminate the drink (compare Lev 11:34); but they decided that any organism smaller than a lentil (such as a gnat) was exempt (E. Sanders 1990:32). Since most of us today would not want a gnat dying in our drink either, we may have sympathy with a Pharisee who for a different reason--passion for purity--went beyond the letter of the law to remove it (see E. Sanders 1990:38). Nevertheless, these Pharisees were so inconsistent, Jesus said, that they concerned themselves with purity issues as trifling as a gnat but did not mind swallowing a camel whole. In ancient writings gnats are cited as the prototypically smallest of creatures (Ach. Tat. 2.21.4-5; 2.22); camels, which were explicitly unclean under biblical law (Lev 11:4), were the largest animal in Palestine (see comment on 19:24).
Although Jesus speaks metaphorically about the inside of a cup (that is, the human heart) in Matthew 23:25-26, he may allude to a matter of some debate among his contemporaries. The Shammaite school of Pharisees were less concerned whether one cleansed the inner or outer part first. In contrast, the Hillelite Pharisees thought that the outside of a cup was typically unclean anyway and thus, like Jesus, insisted on cleansing the inner part first (Neusner 1976:492-94; m. Berakot 8:2). On the surface Jesus' statement challenges Shammaite practice (though for the effect of the metaphor); but he actually addresses the purity of our hearts, a point he reinforces in his next illustration.
Although dead creatures in a beverage produced impurity (23:24), corpse uncleanness (v. 27) was more severe, extending seven days (Num 19:11-14; Jos. Ant. 18.38; m. Kelim 1:4). If so much as one's shadow touched a corpse or a tomb, one contracted impurity (E. Sanders 1990:34, 232). Although Jesus may have originally alluded to the springtime practice of using whitewash to warn passersby and Passover pilgrims to avoid unclean tombs lest they become impure and hence barred from the feast (m. Mo`ed Qatan 1:2; Ma`a'ser Seni 5:1; Seqalim 1:1), as in Luke 11:44, Matthew focuses on an incidental effect of the marking. For him whitewash is a beautifying agent to cover a tomb's corruption (borrowing the image from Ezek 13:10-12). The leaders' outward appearance (compare Mt 23:5, 28) merely provided a veneer for the impurity, hence lawlessness (literally; NIV wickedness), of their hearts. To those who prided themselves on obedience to Torah, the charge of lawlessness would be deeply offensive and shaming.
Employing irony in a manner typical of the prophets (who sometimes told the people to go on sinning but to expect God's judgment for it--Is 6:9; 29:9; Jer 23:28; 44:25-26; Ezek 3:27; Amos 4:4-5), Jesus tells the leaders to fill to the brim the role of prophet murderers they have inherited, so that the judgment accumulating for generations will finally be poured out (Mt 23:36).

SOCHI SCENE: Too many jackets
SOCHI, Russia (AP) When Yuka Sato and husband Jason Dungjen go to their closets, they need to be very careful.
Imagine donning the wrong national jacket when accompanying your skaters to the rink.
The coaches from Michigan are working with Olympians representing three nations: the United States, Italy and Japan. It can get quite frenetic with practice sessions piling up one after the other.
"Not yet," Dungjen said of wearing the wrong apparel. "We've been doing a good job on the jackets, but I check the schedule five times before I put it on."
Dungjen has found sizing the jackets to be more of a chore. He is wearing an extra/extra large Japan model – "beyond double XL" – and an extra large for Italy. Large did the trick for the United States, although Dungjen hardly is hefty.
Both are former Olympic skaters, Sato as an individual for Japan, Dungjen in pairs for the U.S. Their athletes are American champion Jeremy Abbott; Japanese pair Marumi Takahashi and Ryuichi Kihara, Japan; Italy singles skater Valentina Marchei; and Italy pair Stefania Berton and Ondrej Hotarek – only Dungjen is listed as a coach for them.

His outrageous prototype had us snickering, but when it actually worked, we were impressed! Our development team used dozens of experimental prototypes and spilled all types of liquids onto countless carpet samples. We were amazed at how well Ken's invention extracted a variety of liquids out of carpet: wine, fruit punch, beet juice, even the liquid generated by our pets. Once our Everyday Edisons Engineering Team perfected a new prototype, our Design and Creative Team got together, spilled some more wine and pondered how to make the product look like and work like something retailers and consumers believed would actually suck, but not suck.

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection of the sinuses, brain, or lungs that occursin somepeople with a weakened immune system.
Alternative Names
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Mucormycosis is caused by a common fungus frequently found in the soil and in dying plants. Most people come in contact with the fungus at some time. However,people with a weakened immune system are more likely to get this infection.
Conditions most commonly associated with mucormycosis include:
- Burns
- Diabetes (usually poorly controlled)
- Leukemia and lymphoma
- Long-term steroid use
- Metabolic acidosis
- Poor nutrition (malnutrition)
- Use of some medicines, such asdeferoxamine
Mucormycosis may involve:
- Sinus and brain infection (rhinocerebral infection), which may start as a sinus infection, then causes swelling of the cranial nerves. It maycause blood clots that block vessels to the brain.
- Lung infection (pulmonary mucormycosis):pneumonia that gets worse quickly and may spread to the chest cavity, heart, and brain.
- Other parts of the body: Mucormycosis of the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and kidneys
Symptoms of rhinocerebral mucormycosis include:
- Eye swelling and protrusion (proptosis)
- Dark nasal eschar (scabbing)
- Fever
- Headache
- Mental status changes
- Redness of skin overlying sinuses
- Sinus pain or congestion
Symptoms of lung (pulmonary) mucormycosis include:
- Cough
- Coughing blood (occasionally)
- Fever
- Shortness of breath
Symptoms of gastrointestinal mucormycosis include:
- Abdominal pain
- Blood in the stools
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting blood
Symptoms of kidney (renal) mucormycosis include:
- Fever
- Flank (side) pain
Symptoms of skin (cutaneous) mucormycosis include a single, painful, hardened area of skin that may have a blackened center.
Signs and tests
The doctor or nurse will examine you. An ear-nose-throat (ENT) doctor should be seen if you are having sinus problems.
Testing depends on your symptoms but may include:
CTscans MRIscans
A biopsy must be done tomake a definitive diagnosis of mucormycosis.
Surgery should be done immediately to remove all dead and infected tissue. Surgery can lead to disfiguration because it may involve removal of the palate, parts of the nose, or parts of the eye. Without such aggressive surgery, however, chances of survival are greatly decreased.
You will also receive antifungal medicines through a vein, usually amphotericin B.
Expectations (prognosis)
Mucormycosis has an extremely high death rate even when aggressive surgery is done. Death rates range from 25 - 85% depending on the body area involved and your overall health.
- Blindness (if the optic nerve is involved)
- Clotting or blockage of brain or lung blood vessels (thrombosis)
- Death

Kevin Smith's Approach To Competing With Piracy: Give Away A Ton, Then Sell Stuff That Can't Be Pirated
from the voila dept
Recently he expanded a bit on how he "competes" with piracy. In a all around awesome AMA on Reddit the inevitable question came up about his thoughts on piracy and he busted out a simple explanation for how to "compete" with piracy (even if compete is the wrong word here): he connects with fans by giving away a ton of stuff for free, and then gives them a reason to buy by making things that he wants to sell special, unique experiences that you really can't pirate.
Here's my approach...Having followed Kevin's career for quite some time, it's pretty clear that he's completely internalized these concepts. It comes natural to him, and it's great to see.
I try to give away as much as possible. At SModcast.com, we've got thousands of hours of my best work, as well as the funniest shit you'll ever hear: My true life's work. And we give it away free.
Tomorrow, we celebrate the First Birthday of S.I.R. - SModCo Internet Radio. http://smodcast.com. To celebrate, we'll be launching S.I.T. on YouTube - SModCo Internet Television. All of it is free.
So when I do present my audience with something that requires payment? I try to make it more special. That's why I toured with Red State, rather than simply stick the movie out there in theaters alone. Anyone can access any movie digitally once it's in theaters; I accept that. But they can't digitally access me unless they're in the room.
Instead of trying to fight change, I like to adapt and figure out how to thrive in an ever-changing global economy. And as much as I like to head where the puck is going, you sometimes have to play the ball where it lays.
Of course, we've been preaching from the same basic book for years, with the point being that you can use free to your advantage. It does not mean (as some people falsely accuse) that we think "everything should be free!" It's all about understanding what things are useful when they're free, and what things you can reasonably charge for. There are a large and growing number of artists who have figured this out -- with Kevin Smith being a great example. It's just too bad that some others are so freaked out by this that they seek to ruin it for everyone else.

Vassar Holds Off Late Farmingdale Surge
Vassar College - 12, Farmingdale State - 11
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. - In a game that was
highlighted by a hard hitting, physical brand of lacrosse, Vassar's
men's lacrosse team got a career-high six goals from sophomore Cody
Scandore (North Andover, MA/North Andover) and held off a strong
offensive surge from Farmingdale State, to post a 12-11 victory
Wednesday afternoon at Prentiss Field.
With the victory, the Brewers improve to 2-6 on the season, while Farmingdale State drops to 0-5. The Rams will host Morrisville State College this Saturday, March 29th at 1:00 p.m.
The Brewers built a 7-3 halftime lead, but the Rams came out of
intermission with a vengeance, netting three consecutive goals to
begin the third period to close the gap to 7-5.
Vassar's Scandore had an answer for every Ram tally. The sophomore scored twice in the third period for his fifth and sixth goals of the game, providing the Brewers with a narrow 9-7 lead going into the fourth period.
The last 15 minutes were action packed, with the game tied three times before the final horn sounded. Farmingdale sophomore Paul Randazzo (Hauppauge, NY/Hauppauge) equaled Scandore's play, with six impressive goals of his own, one of which tied the game 10-10 with 8:48 left to play.
Just 32 seconds after Randazzo's goal, Brewers freshman Sam Thypin-Bermeo (Princeton, NJ/The Hun School) took a centering pass from Scandore and fired a cannon shot into the upper right corner of the Rams' net to once push the Brewers ahead, 11-10. Thypin-Bermeo had three goals in the game.
Farmingdale continued to show heart as junior Sean Maxwell (West Babylon, NY/W. Babylon), who had three goals in the game, scored on a beautiful cross-field pass from teammate Eddie Rifice (Babylon, NY/Babylon) to tie the game at 11-11 with just 3:49 left to play.
The game remained tied for two more minutes before Vassar's Thypin Bermeo scored the games winning goal, lacing a shot toward into the goal off a nifty pass from sophomore Nick Cardillo (Honeoye Falls, NY/McQuaid Jesuit). The Rams would have a few final scoring chances, but were denied late in the game by Vassar sophomore goalie Ed Pappo (Malvern, PA/Conestoga) who made 13 saves.
Farmingdale goalie Teddy Leone (East Meadow, NY/East Meadow) made 19 saves.

The original painting was airbrushed on the back of a denim jacket - to make a print a photo was taken of the back of the jacket and then the image was taken into Photoshop where a 'Watercolor' filter was overlaid on the original to make it look more painterly as the original art looked too much like a photo.
Everything I know about Art comes about through personal exploration as opposed to being confined to any one school of thought or specific unyielding technique. This knowledge affords me the privilege of a truly unbiased form of self-expression unfettered by the confines of the structured approaches to which so many adhere, and are alas bound by whereas I am free to express myself by whatever medium appropriate to inspiration which is by its very nature boundless...

RENO – Jack Hanlon, who had roles in the 1926 silent classic "The General" and in two 1927 "Our Gang" comedies, died Thursday in Las Vegas at the age of 96.
His niece, Wendy Putnam Park of Las Vegas, says the precocious, freckle-faced Hanlon was a natural as a child actor from 1926 to 1933.
After a small role with Buster Keaton in "The General," he played mischievous kids in two of Hal Roach's "Our Gang/Little Rascals" films: "The Glorious Fourth" and "Olympic Games."
Hanlon also played an orphan in the 1929 drama "The Shakedown," and got an on-screen kiss from Greta Garbo in the 1930 film "Romance."
After leaving Hollywood, Hanlon became a furniture mover and moved to Las Vegas in 1994.
Burial will be in Santa Monica, Calif.

The Myth That SOPA/PIPA Only Impact 'Foreign Sites'
from the targeted,-perhaps,-but-the-impact-is-much-wider dept
The recent discussion by Reddit General Manager Erik Marin about why SOPA would lead to the end of Reddit highlights the point nicely.
If SOPA passes in anything like it's current form, it would almost certainly mean the end of reddit. It may not happen overnight, but we have a very small staff (~11, mostly engineers), and even dealing with DMCA stuff is a big burden for us. SOPA would make running reddit near impossible. And we have access to great lawyers through our parent company. I can't imagine how smaller sites without those kind of resources could even attempt a go at it if SOPA passes.We've been trying to make this point for months, and the folks in favor of these bills just keep ignoring it insisting time and time again that this is just about foreign sites. Most of those people have never been entrepreneurs. They've never worked at a company where the threat of legal action is a BIG DEAL, that can massively disrupt operations (and cash flow). They don't realize that increasing liability, compliance costs and legal risks isn't just a nuisance -- it can force an entire business to shut down. We've talked about how these bills change things so that it's not just two engineers in a garage any more, but two engineers... who need a team of a dozen lawyers.
Considering that nearly all of the net job creation in the US comes from startups (pdf), to massively burden all of these companies with ridiculous compliance and legal costs makes no sense at all. It makes even less sense when you look at the details, and realize that the entertainment industry has actually continued to grow significantly over the past decade, contrary to the gloom and doom stories you keep hearing. Yes, a few of the big companies with big lobbying budgets have struggled with their own business model, but that's no excuse for massively hindering jobs and economic growth, messing with the fundamentals of the internet, and giving foreign regimes a blueprint on how to censor the internet in a way that the US can't complain.

Upbeat, bouncy futuristic electronica. Led by a rapid piano and hardsynth texture, the piece has a bouncy xylophone melody that comes in with a futurisitc minimal beat.
The piece builds up to a more dramatic climax, with a more ravey bassline and built up guitar line that supports more of a dance section. It has a real unique feeling about it – a sense of action, a sense of purpose, a sense of futurism whilst always remaining relatively upbeat and not too serious. Has a very motivational feel to it.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 31, 2009) - After months of individual workouts and a few weeks of team practice, the ETSU women's basketball team will finally lace up the sneakers for the first time in 2009-10, as the Lady Bucs host Cumberlands on Sunday afternoon inside Memorial Center. Tip is set for 1:30 p.m.
The Lady Bucs and Patriots squared off last season in an exhibition contest, with ETSU needing a second half surge to pull out an 82-67 victory. After trailing by three at the break (39-36), ETSU outscored Cumberlands, 46-28, in the final 20 minutes to pick up the 15-point win. Four Lady Buccaneer players scored in double figures back on Nov. 3, 2008, as Siarre Evans (
ETSU returns all five starters from last season's NCAA Tournament club, along with bringing in seven fresh faces - including junior college transfer Tarita Gordon (
Meanwhile, Cumberlands enters the 2009-10 season on a high note, as the Patriots claimed a share of the Mid-South Conference regular season title, won the conference tournament, and made an appearance in the NAIA Elite 8. Cumberlands posted a school-record 29 wins in 2008-09, and were picked second in the Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Patriots return two key starters from last season's squad - Lauren Wombles and Amber Neace. Wombles, the 2009 Mid-South Conference Freshman of the Year, averaged 14.5 points and a team-leading 8.3 rebounds in 34 games last season. Meanwhile, Neace led the Patriots with 15.1 points and was named to the All-Tournament Team last March. Both Wombles and Neace were also named NAIA Honorable Mention All-Americans.
Fans unable to make the trip to
In addition, ETSU students who attend Sunday's contest - along with a handful of selected Lady Buccaneer games - will have a chance to win a Nintendo Wii and enter a drawing for a $1,000 cash giveaway, which will be announced at the last regular season game on Feb. 22. Each time ETSU students attend a Lady Buccaneer game, they will have an opportunity to enter the drawing for more chances to win the cash prize at the end of the season against USC Upstate.
