BRUSSELS - Tens of thousands of people marched through Brussels on Wednesday on a day of protests across Europe against government austerity measures, which unions say will slow economic recovery and punish the poor.
Trade unions said they had called rallies in 13 capitals from Lisbon to Helsinki, while Spanish unions held a general strike to oppose measures such as spending cuts and pension and labor market reforms intended to stave off economic crisis.
"The main feeling of the people is that for the banking system there are millions and billions of euros, but the social payments are being cut. That's not right," said Ralf Kutkowski, a German coal miner protesting in the Belgian capital.
Marchers in Brussels, heading for the EU's headquarters, waved union flags and carried banners saying "No to austerity" and "Priority to jobs and growth." The 50 unions represented included German coal miners, Romanian gas workers and Polish shipbuilders.
The protest was led by a group dressed in black suits with black face masks, carrying umbrellas and briefcases, acting as the head of a funeral cortege mourning the death of Europe.
The protest organizers, the European Trade Union Confederation, were aiming to get 100,000 people to march. Belgian police and the unions did not immediately estimate crowd numbers but one police official told Reuters at least 50,000 people were taking part.
Spain's first general strike for eight years, a protest against the Socialist government's public spending cuts and easier hire-and-fire laws, had a limited impact beyond disrupting transport and some factories.
Spanish unions said 10 million people, or more than half the workforce, were on strike. The government gave no numbers.
European governments say they have been forced into austerity to avert the danger of a sovereign debt crisis like the one suffered by Greece, but many workers feel they are being punished for problems that were not of their making.
"We don't want to take it on our backs," said Philipp Jacks, a German trade unionist marching in Brussels.
Graham Smith, a public sector youth worker from Edinburgh in Scotland, said: "The message is we need our public services because the people who need them most are the people being hit most by the crisis."
Protests have taken place in many countries in the last few months. Protests on Wednesday were planned in Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Rome, Paris, Riga, Warsaw, Nicosia, Bucharest, Prague, Vilnius, Belgrade and Athens.
Greece's main unions, representing about 2.5 million workers, did not strike on Wednesday but plan to march to parliament in the evening to protest against measures prescribed by the EU and the IMF in return for bailing the country out.
A few smaller unions called job walkouts. Greek hospitals doctors stopped work for 24 hours and public transport was disrupted.
In Slovenia, about half of public sector workers remained on strike for the third day against a planned wage freeze, causing jams at border crossings with non-EU Croatia.
Economists say strikes and protests are unlikely to force any government to abandon structural reforms or savings measures but could make it harder for some leaders to win re-election and limit the scope of some reforms in the long run.
Economic growth has revived in the European Union, home to 500 million people and the executive European Commission expects the bloc's economy to grow 1.8 percent this year after a 4.2 percent contraction in 2009.
But EU unemployment is running at 9.6 percent of the workforce, and at around twice that rate in Spain, Latvia and Estonia. Unions say austerity will curb job creation.
Financial markets are also worried about whether countries such as Ireland and Portugal can manage their debt burdens and the Commission wants tough sanctions imposed on countries that break debt and budget deficit rules.
"We understand there is a crisis, but it is being used as a very good excuse for all kinds of pressure on the people who are employees, workers and not in big business," said Alexander Nikolov, who drove from Bulgaria to protest in Brussels.
Dennis Radtue, a coal mining union representative from Germany, said the gap between rich and poor was growing.
"Rich people have a lot of opportunity to save their money and pay no taxes, while a normal worker has to pay taxes whether he wants to or not," he said.

One dish in particular caught my attention: Cambridge burnt cream.
Surely this is crème brulee, I hear you ask – well, yes it is. Only this is the original recipe. As Marco found out, this recipe dates from Trinity College, Cambridge's records of 1630. The earliest recorded date of crème brulee is 1691. I suspect that this isn't the actual recipe of 1630 as I once read that vanilla was not introduced to Britain until the early 1700s but it's a very welcome addition.
The recipe says to use brown sugar for the caramelised topping; this resulted in a much darker (but just as delicious) caramel than usually seen:
My entire family are custard obsessives. It's one of the rare food stuffs that we all agree to be divine. Therefore, this was a particularly delicious dessert after Sunday lunch – the silky smooth, fragrant vanilla baked custard topped off with a crisp and sinful sugar crust. Yum.
Probably not one for the diet conscious what with the nine egg yolks and almost a litre of cream, but if you're having a day of comfort food this recipe is a must!
One final warning – I have given the oven settings as per Marco's recipe. However, my custard would never have set at this temperature. After an hour I upped the temperature and, checking the custard every 10 minutes, eventually got it to set. Next time, I'll start out with the oven at the higher temperature set out in my notes below – and there definitely will be a next time as this was simply the most wonderful custard ever; to eat it was to know happiness!
175g caster sugar
9 egg yolks
4 vanilla pods
100ml milk (whole or semi skimmed)
900ml double cream
50g Demerara sugar
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 120°C/fan oven 100°C/240°F/Gas mark 1/4 [however - note my comments on temperature below].
- Stand 6 large ramekins in a roasting tin, put to one side.
- Beat the sugar and egg yolks together until thick and golden.
- Split the vanilla pods in half and scrape out the seeds.
- Put the milk, cream and vanilla (pods and seeds) in a large saucepan and bring to the boil very slowly. The slower you bring to the boil, the greater the time for the vanilla to infuse the cream/milk.
- Pour the boiling cream mix through a sieve onto the eggs and sugar and mix until well combined.
- Pour through a sieve again to catch any little eggy bits that will make the custard a nasty texture.
- Ladle into the ramekins and then pour hot water into the roasting tray so that it comes approximately half way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake until set. This can take anything from 30 minutes up. However, mine would never have set at this temperature so I raised the oven to 160°C/fan oven 140°C where, after 40 minutes it did set. You want the custard set but still with a quiver if you gently shake the roasting tin.
- Remove from the oven and let the custards cool. When cool, refrigerate until required.
- Before serving, heat the grill to maximum heat.
- Sprinkle the Demerara sugar on the top of each custard and then place under the grill until the sugar melts and turns golden– or use a blow torch if you have one.
- Allow the sugar to set hard.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

So you are suggesting that people on a message board should never second-guess or take issue with management's decisions since they know more than we do? Interesting. That just eliminated the need for 94% of the internet.
What I do know is that they are 13-4 with him in the lineup and 2-4 with him sitting, and he has the best +/- of any defenseman on the roster. Obviously far from perfect statistics, but I'd suggest those things help make the case for why he should be playing over guys like Mark Eaton.
No. I'm just saying I don't know why some are treating it like it's a personal insult that Despres isn't playing.

"This afternoon I am announcing my intent to withdraw from the Lt. Governor's race. Over the past twenty-four hours in talking with attorneys it has become clear that the ballot challenge could be a long process with potential decisions and appeals carrying beyond Monday's hearing.
"With less than two months remaining before the primary I do not want an ongoing legal back and forth to be a distraction in this race. The outcome of this election is too important for the future of the working families and all the people of this Commonwealth.
"While I have always believed that you fight for what is right, there are times in life when personal ambitions should give way for the good of the whole. To that end I am stepping away. It is my hope that a focus on a thorough airing of the issues allows the best Democratic candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor to lead us into November.
"I thank everyone who has supported our campaign. I know we entered this race late and I alone bear responsibility for that and for any shortcomings in our efforts.
"As I have stated at every campaign stop I would be honored to be the nominee, but if I fell short of that goal, I would work hard to help the Governor and Lt. Governor nominees win the election in November. That has not changed. I will continue to advocate for the issues of Education, Employment and Equality that we all feel passionately about in any way I can contribute." ---Jay

Via Twitter on Monday, Marc Savard acknowledged the reality that everybody in the Bruins organization has accepted: The center's NHL career is most likely over.
"For the fans that keep asking me, there is no comeback in the foreseeable future," Savard posted. "I miss the game. It has given me everything I have today."
The playmaking center has appeared in 807 career games with Boston, Atlanta, Calgary, and the Rangers. Savard has 207 goals and 499 assists. When healthy with the Bruins, Savard was considered the No. 1 center and power-play quarterback, primarily stationed at the right-side half-boards.
Savard hasn't played since Jan. 22, 2011. That day at Colorado's Pepsi Center, Savard suffered a concussion when he was hit by ex-Bruin Matt Hunwick.
Savard had suffered previous concussions, none more wicked than the one Matt Cooke delivered on March 7, 2010. Savard returned from the Cooke head shot in the second round of the playoffs that year, appearing in all seven games of the semifinal series against Philadelphia.
The following summer, Savard suffered a recurrence of post-concussion syndrome. His symptoms included headaches, depression, memory loss, and fatigue. Savard didn't play until Dec. 2, 2010.
That the 35-year-old Savard continues to be bothered by post-concussion syndrome indicates the severity of his head trauma. It's possible Savard's symptoms — he complained recently of headaches — could wane, allowing him to work out and skate. However, it is unlikely that any doctor would clear Savard for NHL game play given his concussion history.
Savard lives in Peterborough, Ontario. Last year, he helped coach his son Zachary's pee wee team. In January, Savard launched a program at TD Garden to benefit Children's Hospital pediatric patients with head trauma. Through 2013-14, patients are eligible to attend every Bruins home game in a Garden suite that Savard purchased.
As an injured player, Savard is eligible to collect his full salary during the lockout. He earns $4,007,143 annually through 2016-17. If Savard officially retires, he is not eligible to collect the rest of his salary.Fluto Shinzawa can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeFluto.

vim modes
Modes are probably the most obscure part of vim. I do not like them. But I do not like even more Emacs and PC's editors approach with terribly long and complicated shortcuts.
VIM mode defines how pressed keys are interpreted. One can tell currect VIM mode by content of left bottom corner of screen. Command (normal) mode has no special marker. When in insert mode one would see there '--INSERT--'. Replace & visual modes have similar markers: '--REPLACE--' & '--VISUAL--'.
- Command (normal) mode. The default mode used after invokation of vim. All keys are mapped into some command. Sleeping on keyboard in that mode can be dangerous: many key combos can be lethal to your document (or if you are root to your system). That's the main mode where one manipulates the content of file.
Press <Esc> two times to get into command mode from any other mode/situation. Typing :q<Enter> would quit VIM.
VIM's help for the shortcuts of command mode uses prefix "c_", e.g. ":help c_CTRL-D<Enter>" would bring the help for ^D shortcut of command mode. Type ":help c_" and press Tab/^D instead of Enter to see all standard shortcuts of command mode.
- Insert mode. The mode activated by pressing 'i' or <Insert> in command mode. Typing characters would insert the characters into the document. That's the mode one uses to input text. Shortcuts to manipulate text in insert mode are bound to non-printable characters and functional keys (e.g. keys with modifiers - Alt, Meta, Cmd, Shift, etc).
VIM's help for the shortcuts of insert mode uses prefix "i_". Type ":help i_<Tab>" to see all standard shortcuts of insert mode. Insertion of text heavily covered in ":help insert.txt"
N.B. Insert mode has a submode called "Replace mode". It's the same as insert mode, but typed letters instead of being inserted into the position under cursor - moving existing letters on the line right of cursor - would replace them. The submode is usually activated by pressing <Insert> in insert mode. I normally use 'R' (Shift-r) in command mode, since I do not like going into replace mode accidently hitting <Insert> twice (or hitting it once again in insert mode)
- Visual mode. The mode I use a lot, since I come from PCs/DOS and standard DOS editors depend heavily on visial text selection. Visual mode allows one to mark continuos part of text. Any invoked command allowing text range would use visual selection as the range. Commands are the same as in vim's command mode. The are three submodes:
- Visual mode - by character. Activated by pressing 'v' in command mode. Use motions keys to select range character-wise. Selection starts on character under cursor when activating visual mode. End of selection is on characted under cursor. When finished selecting use command you like e.g. 'd' to delete selected text.
- Visual mode - by line. Activated by pressing 'V' (Shift-v) in command mode. Allows to select lines of file. For example you can select several lines and send them to external filter application - e.g. ":r!sort" to sort them.
- Visual mode - by block. Activated by pressing ^V (c_CTRL-V) in command mode. Most commonly refered as vertical selection. Allows you to select rectange-like part of text, spanning several lines. E.g. you can delete N characters in the beginning of several adjacent lines. Or every Nth character of several adjacent lines. Try it. It's hard to explain, but easy to understand by experimenting.
Help for the shortcuts uses prefix 'v_', thou you would find that most of the shortcuts are the same as in command mode. ":help visual.txt" for more info.
- Visual mode - by character. Activated by pressing 'v' in command mode. Use motions keys to select range character-wise. Selection starts on character under cursor when activating visual mode. End of selection is on characted under cursor. When finished selecting use command you like e.g. 'd' to delete selected text.
Sode note. Officially, there are more to vim modes. The three aforementioned are the modes I use. All other modes find little application in my day to day life. For more indepth info on vim modes try ":help vim-modes". Every mode serves its purpose. Probably you would find some other modes useful too.

GREENVILLE � Vintavious Cooper had nine runs of seven or more yards, and gained nearly five yards per carry in East Carolina's 31-13 win over Florida Atlantic on Thursday in Greenville.
GREENVILLE � Vintavious Cooper had nine runs of seven or more yards, and gained nearly five yards per carry in East Carolina's 31-13 win over Florida Atlantic on Thursday in Greenville.
After a troubled offseason, which included an indefinite suspension in the spring, Cooper is resuming his role as ECU's primary ball-carrier.
The 5-foot-9 senior tailback ran for 95 yards on 20 carries with a touchdown and had a team-high five catches for 49 yards in the Pirates' Conference-USA opener.
�When I was recruited, Coach McNeill told me to catch a lot of balls,� Cooper said. �I didn't know how serious he was, but now I understand why. I always felt like my hands are one of my biggest attributes.�
Cooper came to ECU as a junior college transfer from Southwest Mississippi Community College prior to last season. He proceeded to lead the Pirates in rushing yardage as a junior with 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns, and was named C-USA Newcomer of the Year.
Last March, he was charged with a misdemeanor possession of marijuana, which caused him to be suspended and miss the annual Purple-Gold Scrimmage in April.
Cooper was reinstated in June, and has been on a mission ever since.
Despite gaining just 38 yards on 12 carries in ECU's 52-38 win over Old Dominion on Aug. 31, Cooper helped the Pirates balance out the offense.
His longest run was of 24 yards, then with 9:13 remaining in the first half, he scored his eighth-career touchdown on a 7-yard run.
�As a competitor you never look to be selfish but you like to get the ball and contribute,� Cooper said. �Coach gave me a little more carries this week and I wanted to make the most of it.�
As a unit, ECU ran for 110 yards on 34 attempts, adding to 202 passing yards from quarterbacks Shane Carden and Cody Keith.
Sophomore running back Cory Hunter picked up 11 rushing yards on three carries, and sophomore Chris Hairston reached the end zone for his first career touchdown � a 4-yard run late in the third quarter.
�It definitely felt good,� Cooper said. �We had to come out and establish our physicality up front. We had to start out fast and establish the run to begin the game.�

The Chicago Cubs Schedule In 2013: (The Wrigley Field Ticket Is Still The Best Pure Baseball Experience)
Like us on Facebook hereFollow @mlbreports
Saturday, January.26, 2013
By Richie Devotie (MLB Schedule Correspondent): Follow @MrBaseballMan and Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Writer/Website Owner) Follow @chuckbooth3024
I love Wrigley Field more than any other park just to watch a game.
Having been to all of the MLB Parks a minimum of 3 times (and most closer to 5 and above) – there is something so unique about this baseball cathedral that makes me think it is the 1920s still.
We have another video presentation from our Baseball Schedule Correspondent' Richie Devotie down below that has all of the Cubs opponents in the upcoming season in 2013 – plus a recap of how the team fared in 2012.
After viewing it – plus read about one of the craziest, yet rewarding days of my ballpark chaser streaks.
The setup to this was that I was 13 days into my 1st World Record Attempt – at breaking the category of "The Fastest Person to view a full game at all 30 MLB Parks".
I had already had to restart my streak attempt after some chaos that happened just a few days prior. This day in Chicago would be my 3rd straight day of trying to fit 2 games in on one day.
On the 1st day of the new streak, I nailed a doubleheader between Petco Park (day game) and Dodger Stadium (night game).
I then boarded an overnight flight to Detroit (at 1 AM- Arrival in Motown at 10:30 AM. I was poised to watch a day game at Comerica Park (1:05 PM) – before jettisoning 168 Miles to Cleveland right after for a 7:05 PM start at Progressive.
The Tigers looked to nail down a victory until Todd "the Hammer" Jones blew the save by letting the Twins tie it up in the ninth – to prolong the game into extra innings.
An hour later and the game finally ended but I couldn't even try to head to Cleveland. So I made my way to Chicago/Milwaukee. I had a Wrigley Field/Miller Park doubleheader.
The next day after – I was to fly to Toronto to see the Yankees play. 2 days after that, I would see if I could hit on a Nationals Park/Shea Stadium Sunday day/night double-header.
It would be 4 doubleheader attempts in 5 days. I was only 1 for 2 so far.

Soy Latte, Kaladi Brothers, Capitol Hill
Turning 30 has been ridiculously wonderful with a little more ridiculous thrown in. J. Legume and I spent some truly lovely time in Seattle, eating Thai cuisine for every single, glorious meal, and then I headed off to Victoria, B.C. where I caught up with my BFF Gabrielle, sipped sparkling cider, and fulfilled my dream of being out of the country for my milestone aging. I wish I could share some legitimate photos, but I'll simply have to namedrop that indulgently necessary evil some more, to the point of near tears (which is probably my back pain talking…probably). Oy. My camera apparently suffered from sea sickness on the ferry ride from Vancouver, and is now on its way to hopeful recovery at a repair center. Bonus points of ridic, for yeah, throwing my back out the morning after my sudden return to Portland over some severe bank fraud paranoia. Everything is now OK, so let's credit my sanity to….cats.
As my back heals and I can do more than turn the shiny rice cooker on, 100 Days Homemade shall officially return, Vida Vegan will work its tech groove, and Vegan MoFo brainstorming gets real. As of this morning, I'm leaning towards an inspiring Panda-style process of day-of-the-week theming if I can legally proceed with such. I'm working on the catchy titles first. If it flies, expect Heartichoke cocktails, flashbacks of travel dishes, Portlanding – and more.
Trip snippets….
My girlfriend and I went to Araya's (which I highlighted back in 2010 for SV) for a birthday buffet lunch. I have never seen so many hot dishes before! Fate.
I picked up two treats from Seattle's vegan store, Sidecar. Firstly, and always, I buy catnip treats, because my cats go BONKERS, and secondly, a bag of new vegan coconut caramels from Coeur D' Alene. Good, sticky stuff.
Our epic afternoon tasting at Sea Cider. I can't recommend this experience and cider enough.

After touring portions of San Juan County with a large group of interested parties on August 9, a one-hour public meeting was held in the San Juan County Commission chambers.
A crowd estimated at up to 200 people filled the chambers and spilled into the hallways. Ongoing frustration over the actions of the federal government was evident during the public meeting.
Rep. Bishop, who represents northern Utah in the House of Representatives, is the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation. He explained that, as chairman, he is in a position to move through Congress a bill that addresses public lands in the area.
A similar Washington County Public Lands Bill passed through Congress several years ago and was signed into law.
Rep. Bishop explained that he did not support the Washington County Land Bill, but he supports the process to create a local Public Lands Bill. He said the local bill will be presented as a stand-alone piece of legislation and not be included in a massive Omnibus Bill, as was the Washington County bill.
The meeting was intended to introduce the idea of the bill to local residents and to help develop a plan.
A large number of local, state and federal agencies were involved, in addition to tribal groups, industry groups and environmental groups.
The field trip alone was attended by dozens of people, including the Congressmen and their staffs, Commissioners and employees from San Juan and Grand counties, representatives from state government and Governor Gary Herbert, representatives from the office of Senator Orrin Hatch, and State and Institutional Trust Lands members.
Industry and advocacy groups on the field trip included the Western Energy Alliance, Fidelity, Utah Mining Association, Blue Ribbon Coalition, SPEAR, USA-ALL, Red Rock 4 Wheelers, Trout Unlimited, Farm Bureau, Utah Cattlemen, Western Spirit Cycling and the Sage Brush Coalition.
Environmental and advocacy groups on the field trip included the Grand Canyon Trust, The Wilderness Society, Sierra Club, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and The Nature Conservancy.
Representatives of other groups did not participate in the field trip, but did attend the public meeting. They include the Navajo Nation and Diné Bakeyah.
The wide range of groups "at the table" was a concern to several local residents at the public meeting. They expressed suspicion at the intentions of many of the outside groups.
Rep. Chaffetz, who represents the San Juan County area in the House of Representatives, said that he can understand the hesitancy of local residents to work with outside groups, but warned that not doing so may create bigger problems.
"I fear that the worse thing we could is to do nothing," said Rep. Chaffetz more than a dozen times over the course of the meeting.
A growing concern is that President Barack Obama may use the Antiquities Act to create the proposed Greater Canyonlands National Monument. The monument, which is receiving the support of a number of advocates, would designate much of the public land west of Highway 191 and north of Highway 95 as a national monument.
Rep. Bishop explained that similar public lands bills in Wyoming and Alaska were designed in such a way that public lands issues were addressed in detail. In addition, the bills took away the executive branch ability to use the Antiquities Act to unilaterally designate large swaths of public land as a national monument.
County officials have been working on a public lands bill for months. A committee of county employees was assembled to investigate the options and create a preliminary recommendation.
Among the issues they investigated is to develop a bill that could benefit San Juan County interests as they relate to the Gunnison sage grouse, the proposed Greater Canyonlands National Monument, vehicle access, mineral extraction, grazing rights, Wilderness Study Areas, and more.
A series of additional field trips have been held or are planned to determine if the large number of groups can reach agreement on a public lands plan.
A representative from Rep. Bishop's office said that the meeting was helpful in clearing up some misinformation about the process. She said that the bill will be crafted by people on the ground and will include input from all parties involved. She said that the Congressmen are not dictating any aspect of the process and simply hope that the bill will give great certainty to all public lands matters in San Juan County.

Talk:Visa Summary for EU citizens
Not all EU citizens are equal[edit]
I'm afraid this document generalizes too much -- not all countries treat all EU citizens equally. For example, until recently Swedes could visit Brunei without a visa while Finns needed one, and the US to this day requires visas from many Eastern European EU members (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Malta, Poland and Romania, at time of writing). Jpatokal 06:30, 4 January 2009 (EST)
I agree. Vietnam, for example, requires visas for most EU members but not Denmark, Sweden and Finland. And in the case of most countries, the EU is not treated as 1 country, and visa requirements differ for each member state. Therefore, I don't think we should have this list.126.96.36.199 14:27, 1 February 2009 (EST)

It was 6 weeks ago today that such a tiny organism
created such a huge amount of disruption to my life and my health.
In the past fortnight,
finally, my energy levels and sleep patterns have returned to normal
and the still occasional abdominal cramping (because I ate something that obviously wasn't rice) has stopped.
But my body (or my mindset) is still in a weird place.
Weird good.
But still weird.
My carbohydrate addiction has been stifled.
I still love the little buggers but don't feel the inclination to stuff them in my mouth
as my preferred food group.
I am craving vegetables.
Which is not something that the pre-Salmonella-run-in me would do.
My cravings usually cover coffee or salt or sugar or spicy or fat or fake flavourings...
Pretty much anything but healthy food.
I am specifically lusting after salad vegetables.
More specifically tomatoes and asparagus.
Fine now but I am screwed at the end of asparagus season in March.
I have gone from consuming 4 to 5 cups of coffee each day
to a total daily consumtion of a big, fat zero cups.
I am totally apathetic about that bean that I once cherished and worshipped.
I have had 1 and 1/2 coffees in the past 6 weeks
(the half being one that I couldn't finish)
The only consumption that I have considered
is an iced coffee made with
(forgive me now and please don't let me be smited down by the coffee bean gods)
instant coffee.
(forgive me now and please don't let me be smited down by the coffee bean gods)
instant coffee.
Mr Boozle believes that the shakes and chills
on those first 3 days were purely caffeine withdrawal
and in no way related to acute food poisoning.
Now I must be clear here- I am not the reformed coffee addict.
I still wake up every morning pining for my love of coffee to return,
feeling like I have lost one of my best friends.
I watch my husband with envy every morning as he stumbles out to the kitchen
and doesn't truly wake up till that first espresso hits the lining of his stomach.
No, the reformed coffee addict of the title would be the perky, chatty, late teen check-out girl
who decided that 44 year old me obviously didn't appreciate that I have been saved
from the evils of coffee (...amen...)
and needed to be reminded of the perils of caffeine consumption
sleeplessness, diuretic leading to dehydration...
Now, there were more on the list but
I forget what else the lecture involved.
Ironically I reckon if I had 5 coffees under my belt,
I might have been awake enough to have heard the rest of the sermon.
(Or run off in the middle for an urgent pee)
I have resorted to buying some green tea,
usually kept for my lunches at the local sushi restaurant,
and some chai tea.
I even considered peppermint or camomile tea there for a minute.
(this from a person who doesn't understand why anyone would want to imbibe their flower garden.)
I am lost, searching for my new vice
while really knowing that nothing can replace my beloved cafe late.
Meanwhile, I am feeling healthier and have not only kept the weight off that I lost during my illness
but have slowly lost more weight.
Not a bad thing.
So I can live with weird for now.
I guess you could say that
every dose of Salmonella does come with a silver stomach lining.

That's an amazing photo! you were so quick to get your camera...I think that is a great take on the theme.....happy weekend to you!
You have a 20 x zoom camera? Wowowow! Especially since you already take great pictures with your 4 x zoom... :)
too bad you don't bring your 20 x zoom camera. But that is a lovely shot. I think you can make it zoom with photoshop cs3.
thanks for drop at my ph post
Bald eagles are a very rare sight in out neck of the woods, though I have seen a couple over the years. The most memorable was the time we were crossing a bridge over the Ottawa River and one was lofting about in the air currents, level with the top of the handrail. Stunning!
Here my mother and I spend many a summer day driving out in the country visiting all the Osprey nests in the area (we are up to 15 regular and new ones)/ With both parents and generally two young per nest, that's a lot of Ospreys!
This works for me. Plus the image is wonderful.
Happy weekend.
Wow JMB I would kill to see a bird klike that on one of my local walks! Have a great weekend
Your lucky to get such a lovely shot!
here's my entry
he's teasing you perhaps you've watched him long enough and he does the same...
still turned out well with the 4x zoom!
What a wonderful sight, whether daily or not, and then to have caught it on camera! My reactions are usually far too slow for birds.
wow, what an amazing photo :) thanks for sharing JMB :)
my other PH:
but its still beautifully captured jmb! look at the wings!
happy weekend! :)
I love this shot. You did a great job capturing the eagle in flight. Happy weekend.
You had to be quick with that one.
Great shot!
What a wonderful capture, no wonder you wanted to share that one with us :-)
I hope you have a great weekend.
Now, that's a way to shoot an eagle. Chapeau, Mylady.
And as I see once again A lonely voice 'linking' ten times. Does this homo insapiens pay monthly compensation for intellectual damage?
Fabulous shot, jmb.
Fabulous pic...such majestic birds!
ha ha it still is a lovely photo
I don't get to see this bird daily. In fact none at all in tropical Singapore. :)
Your pics are always so impressive, I hope you had a great weekend.
Gorgeous creatures. We are so lucky to see them regularly. I once had a visitor from Ontario in my car when she suddenly screamed for me to stop. I thought she was going to throw up or something, but no, she had seen a bald eagle and wanted to get out and look. But I would likely do the same if I was in her car in Ontario and saw a cardinal.
Great photo!

Irresistible Invitation

This is so my heart today. Hasn't always been with my stinking thinking and my huge pride of "Lord, you really need my help here. I know I can be of some serious assistance on this scene." So ridiculous to know I actually thought that way, but so freeing to admit it outloud and know that truth. My life today consists of what the apostle Paul called praying without ceasing. I used to think that meant to sit all day in a corner and pray like some kind of a monk. Nobody with a remote life can do that. I understand today what he meant. It's a constant state of prayerfulness before the Lord. I live in this every single day of my life now. I pray continuously throughout each day just to make it to the next hour and with my current state of suffering, it's to make it to the next minute. My God has shown me that he absolutely cherishes that I am there with Him now. I am completely and totally reliant on Him for every single breathe I take and every move I make. When my brother and I were little kids, we played a game called kick the can. He would go ahead of me and waive me forward when the coast was clear. That is exactly how I am with the Lord today. I used to go ahead of God and leave him behind. I thought I could manage on my own and then when everything fell apart, I just couldn't understand why. God has shown me that going ahead of Him doesn't allow Him to prepare the way for me. I'm not ready and He needs to make me ready. He also needs to prepare the way for my readiness. God has shown me that because I went ahead, the coast wasn't clear. Today, I wait for Him to whisper,
"The coast is clear." Then I know without a doubt, it's the right time and God has fully gone before me in order to make it okay for me to follow. What a shepherd we have. What a more obedient sheep I have become. Praise you Father!!

I could write a book on this so with that in mind, I will be as brief as I can.
I truly wonder if we would actually, sincerely pray for these things... what would happened.
I know in my past that I didn't want to go headlong into sin but my prayers and thoughts toward God were half-hearted at best and passive at worst. "Oh God knows I don't want to sin so he is going to take care of me."
Several weeks ago, I was faced with immense amounts of temptation when not 1 but 4 very attractive women made it known (to one degree of aggression to another) that they would like to be in a romantic relationship with me.
Now besides that being the anti-thesis of what the gospel is all about, this was incredible hard for me because lust is the one sin that the Spirit has to continually kill. For me lust is simply not physical intimacy but rather, emotional, spiritual, mental and/or physical intimacy outside the covenant of marriage.
Knowing this and trial I have already faced as a divorced, 33 year old, brand new Christian, I prayed and cried and screamed and yelled and wept for God to save me and not forget me and not let me go back into that hell back when He felt so far away when he was dealing with sin on my heart a year ago.
He felt too far away. I couldn't hear him. It made me sick to even think to go through that hell yet again. I can't stand it and I couldn't take take it. He needs to end my life so I can be with him because I can't go through it again.
Wouldn't you know?
My God did not forget me!
My God did not forsake me!
My God never left me!
My God speaks to me!
My God loves me!
My God, shockingly enough, answers prayers.
Now the Psalms of David in chapters 16 to 18 is now as real and as tangible as the shirt on my back. Out of those chapters, these three verses are my comfort:
Psalm 18:19
He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
Psalm 17:15
As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness;
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
(I saw your tweet and then read this post and I had to, had to, had to share this with another brother or sister in Christ because my Lord and my God is so wonderfully good to me.)

Great post! I'm going to look up this sermon so I can hear it too! I really need to get back into my prayer closet as well. God's been convicting me for some time about it, what are your plans for moving deeper in this area?

I just listened to this sermon TODAY! :) I was out of town I think when he preached it so I caught up today! I really enjoyed it, and got me thinking! There's also a little snipit in Cold Tangerines about prayer (and our false sense of control) that I identify with as well! Can't remember if you had gotten to that part? anyways, I did finish it! :) Thank you for letting me borrow! I will get it to you this week!!!!

"However, it's where I am starting that is sinful. I'm not beginning with Him, His Son's work on the cross and the Spirit's power. I'm beginning with me--what I can do. To put it simply, I am prideful and presumptuous."
That line really stood out to me in your post. Have you read anything by Elyse Fitzpatrick yet? That line from your post brought to mind some of the books I've read by her~

What a fantastic post! Thanks for sharing this, I needed to hear this.
My husband and I listen to your husbands podcasts often.
Just today I have been pondering on such thoughts. I have never realized or heard it put that way, that we are starting is sinful by assuming I have these areas under control! Daily Jesus seems to point out little things here and there where my thinking needs to change. Today God used you and your post to shine some light on this area in my life! Thank you so much. I am enjoying your blog very much

I think our God is pretty stinkin' amazing. This would be the second time I have "stumbled" on a blog that has brought me to tears because of what the Lord is dealing with in me. Thanks for sharing this. Funniest part of it all is that after I read your blog post a second time I realized I, by association with the Village, know of you. I am on a church staff in Weatherford and work with a few guys who know Matt from way back when and a friend of mine is always quoting from his podcast. Small world full of "coincidences" that all point back to the God of our universe.

i would like to say i stumbled across your blog but the truth is i went on a hunt for it about a year ago while my husband and i were listening to matt voraciously via podcast and i became curious as to who this guy's wife was. you stopped blogging after norah so i gave up but had an idea to check back in today. so glad i did. being newly married and not from a strong family background, i have been realizing lately that my role models in the media aren't cutting it and i need some real ones who love Jesus or i won't make it. so thanks for coming back. :) i am desperate to learn all i can.

Sorry to introduce myself via a comment on your blog but I wanted to meet you and obviously don't have your e-mail! My name is Helen...I'm a 31 year old wife to Matt..and a mom to 6 crazy kiddos. We attend Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD. Josh Harris is our senior pastor and I heard of your husband through his twitter. Long story short, I have been praying for you all weekend. My Matt has a brain tumor..right frontal lobe. He's had three brain surgeries, etc. We appreciate your husband and listen to his messages on-line from time to time. Although i don't know you..I am praying for peace for your heart..joy in the midst of a difficult time, and that you would have much grace from our dear Lord and Savior. From one wife and sister in Christ to another, I wanted you to know that I will continue to pray for you, your Matt and entire family.
Grace to you!

Thank you for the sweet reminder that calls me away from self-defeat and to a place of joyfully surrendering my thoughts to His amidst piles of laundry. It's so easy to grow weary of "doing good" when that was never my job. I pray that I can cease striving and rest in Him that I might truly find that dependency is a precious place. THANK YOU!

When I heard the news that the U.S. Bishops had heartily endorsed the advancement of the sainthood cause of Dorothy Day at their annual Fall General Assembly in Baltimore, my heart leapt for joy that this remarkable 20th century Catholic lay woman was at last being recognized as a true model of holiness. Since the year 2000, when Cardinal John O'Connor, then-archbishop of New York, first submitted Dorothy Day's cause for canonization to the Vatican, she has been called a "Servant of God," a title she may have been a bit more comfortable with than "saint," though her humility would no doubt have resisted both.
In bringing forth her cause for sainthood to the whole body of Bishops at the annual Fall General Assembly in Baltimore, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, a successor of Cardinal O'Connor, referred to Dorothy not only as a saint but as "a saint for our time." Cardinal Dolan and the other Bishops who spoke during the consultation called Day's sainthood cause an opportune moment in the life of the U.S. church.
I have found myself pondering what makes this so true, what makes this pronouncement so timely for us, as church, amid our present struggles and hopes? Like many others, I have long been inspired and challenged by Dorothy Day's radical embrace of Catholicism in all its dimensions of belief, worship, discipleship and prayer, a faith-tradition she adopted after a tumultuous life that bore many of the scars of "the modern dilemma."
Hearing her speak at the Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia in 1976, reflecting on her writings over the years, seeing her legacy continue through Catholic Worker kitchens, shelters and newspapers around the country today, sharing her labyrinthine journey with contemporary college students, who find her as captivating as I do—these are some of the ways that Dorothy Day's spirituality has informed, inspired and stayed gracefully interwoven in my life.
But only more recently has it occurred to me, brought into special focus by the Bishops' consultation, that Dorothy Day is, above all, a unifying figure, one whose life eloquently testifies to the spiritual power of her "complete Catholicism." Dorothy's way of holiness combined faith and life, contemplation and action, prayer and prophetic witness, eucharistic worship and social justice.
She heard the Psalmist's call to "Be still and know that I am God" (Ps. 46:10), thus nourishing her deep contemplative experience of God's gracious love. She heeded as well the Prophet's exhortation to "Act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8), thus living the works of mercy, standing in solidarity with the homeless and the worker, speaking out for justice and peace.
As we find ourselves too-often inundated by divisions and polarizations, Dorothy's life reminds us of the small 'c' in our catholic tradition, a tradition that turns us away from "either/or" and urges us toward "both/and"—both Mary and Martha, both a spirituality of interiority and a life of service, both worship and works, both an openness to the grace of the sacraments and an awareness of the graces of the world.
Incredibly, tragically, this garment has been rent. Complementarity has given way to conflict, spawning competitive litmus tests of what church is, or is not. Dorothy Day shows us another way, a way of holiness and wholeness that is catholic as well as Catholic, seeking Oneness in both the transcendent and immanent dimensions of the Cross.
Dorothy Day is indeed a saint for our time, a saint our time urgently needs.
Peggy McDonald, IHM
However, I do believe she's rolling in her grave if she has to have two "miracles" in her name before being so acclaimed. The "miracle"s occur in her name daily in the lives of the indidividuals who claim to be inspired by her and in those of the persons they serve.
We just proclaimed two saints from our area -Kateri Tekawitha and the Mother Marianne Cope - both very worthy. But he "miracle business" is ridiculous for criteria - though I personally know one of those so attributed with a healing and am grateful that she was healed and thrives in our midst.
Get rid of the miracle business before puttting Dorothy Day through any such process.
"Don't call me a saint. I don't want to be dismissed so easily."
Dorothy Day quotes (American reformer, Journalist and Founder of the Catholic Worker.1897-1980)
her 4th child, someone (she thinks it was Dorothy Day) came to the door, collecting
for the Catholic Worker. My mom was a pretty vulnerable woman, who struggled for confidence and often felt isolated. Whoever came to the door that day had tea with her and told her what a great mother she was with this tiny new baby. My Mom told this story until the end of her life, certain she'd had tea with Dorothy Day. She was
so bolstered and built up by the encouragement-it could not be exaggerated. If
it was not Dorothy Day, it was certainly someone deeply influenced by her and whoever
it was, bestowed a powerful gift on my mother and through her, to the rest of her family. So I bless the name of Dorothy Day, saint or not because of this. But I
bet there are other stories like this out there. This legacy is one of love and presence, and I don't think it can be harnessed for anything but greater good.
The men of the Church have decided to harness this woman's legacy and use it for their own benefit.
As I am reading ''All the Way to Heaven-the Selected Letters of Dorothy Day'', it has given me a deeper understanding of the joys and sorrows of her mission. As Father James Martin comments on the back cover of the book: '' Read these remarkable letters and come to know a saint.''

In complex therapeutic areas such as oncology, thought leaders have long sought improvements to lengthy trials, hit-or-miss treatments and soaring research costs. While there is still much to be resolved, the rise of personalized medicine has set its sights on these and other obstacles in the pursuit of more targeted and efficient therapies.
The one-size-fits-all approach that has dominated clinical drug development has been the most appropriate route when costs are considered, but this strategy has failed to meet the needs of the patient. Guesswork has dominated drug development for far too long, leading to a push to make drugs mechanistic through molecular target validation, biomarker identification and other techniques.
Researchers are only now beginning to make headway into the importance of gene variation, which highlights the importance of close analysis of individual patients in the pursuit of the right type of patient-oriented therapy needed. Scientists are also making important breakthroughs in the understanding of variables such as genetic changes and drug sensitivity, which have dramatic implications for determining how effective specific medications might be for unique individuals. The promise of smaller, faster studies that could allow for the testing of a much higher volume of treatments is becoming more and more difficult to ignore.
However, a host of obstacles have stood in the way of a more personalized approach:

I received 2 genealogy help gifts this year for Christmas. The first was a cashmere sweater which will keep me warm when I do my volunteer work at my local Family History Center. It is so cold that there is a space heater in the room. Most of us just keep our coats on. This is in south Texas!
The second gift I received was a Nook book reader. This will let me search for and download reference materials. My library also has e-books available to borrow via download. It's a whole new environment to explore.

I loved it. Well done movie I didn't find boring at all. Also had excellent tense music throughout.
Oh dear, so boring I actually found myself nodding off. Unsurprisingly, the screen was almost empty at peak time screening.
Very dark.
Clearly divisive and negatively rated without merit - as seen by the reasonings for a 1 star rating. Brilliant pitch black comedy that teeters more on the dark than comedy nearing the third act.
Disgusting. How is the audience supposed care about a sociopath who kills her own horse? I kept hoping the hit man would kill her. People Who Kill innocent Animals should be locked up.
Disgusting premise for a movie.

LISLE, Ill. - The Benedictine University football team rallied from down 20-0 at the half to score a 34-28 overtime win over Wisconsin Lutheran College.
Wisconsin Lutheran took advantage of field position in the first half to open the lead. The first score came with 7:33 left in the first following a nine-play drive but a missed extra point made it 6-0. Wisconsin Lutheran failed to score on a 14-play drive but after a sack opened a drive in Benedictine territory extended the lead to 13-0. The final score came just before the close of the half. Benedictine managed just 78 yards in the first half.
Special teams set the tone for the second half of the contest. A fumbled punt return set up a seven-play drive for Benedictine, finished when Artie Monaco plunged into the endzone from one yard out with 11:02 to play in the third quarter. Trevor Walzak blocked a punt moments later and Alex Bretous recovered in the endzone to pull Benedictine within 20-14 with 9:29 to play.
Benedictine took the lead for the first time early in the fourth quarter when a botched snap allowed Joe Dickert to recover in the endzone with 11:20 remaining. Wisconsin Lutheran immediately responded, needing just four plays to take a 28-21 lead following a two-point conversion. Cyle Schultz found Blake Anders for a 75-yard score with 8:08 left to tie the game with the final points of regulation. Wisconsin Lutheran drove into Benedictine territory but a Jarrett Lecas interception at the four-yardline helped send the game to overtime.
The overtime session opened with Benedictine scoring as Schultz drove in from a yard out moments after another big play to Anders. The extra point hit the upright but Wisconsin Lutheran stalled at the six-yardline on an incomplete pass to end the game.
Wisconsin Lutheran piled up 452 yards of offense in the contest but Benedictine halted a two-game slide to the Warriors with the win. Schultz completed 19 passes for 274 yards with a touchdown. Six of the completions were to Anders, who finished with 215 yards and a touchdown.

Favourite Fate/stay night Character(s) Poll
Now Fate/stay night is coming to it's end (at least for the anime), it's time we had a second Favourite Character Poll. Please note that to keep the size of the poll down to manageable numbers, not all the characters are included. All the primary characters and most of the secondary characters are included, if there's someone who isn't included then you can post and discuss the reasons why they are a personal favourite of yours.
This is a multiple choice poll and while we wont restrict you from voting for every character, please try to limit your choice to your top 3 or 4 picks if you can. If you like the entire cast equally, then so be it, but if you can narrow it down a bit, then thats even better. If you like one character the most, then dont feel the need to vote for anymore.
Please remember that once you make your vote you may not "come back" later to add or change your previous vote(s). So make sure you know all the characters you want to include in your vote before you click the "Vote Now" button.
And of course the vote is public, so your votes will be visible. :)
Thread Rules
Saber, Rider, Gilgamesh and Archer for me!
Saber because, well, aside from her looks, she's one of the most overpowered Servants out there. Powerful offensive + defensive Hougu, who can stand up to that?
Rider, because of her bonds to Sakura (in the game). In the anime, her airtime, though brief, was pretty much ok.
Gilgamesh because his cockiness is just too hard to dislike. Also, he's the reason why Shirou and Saber pushes themselves to the limit.
Archer, because, aside form cockiness, his determination and jaded outlook on life somehow echoes mine.
Ok, first of all my favorite, Illya, for sheer cuteness and Onii-chan factor :D Hooray :D
Archer, coolest character of the bunch.
Sakura... Well, I like her character type. And she's cute.
And Rin, coolest female character of the bunch (and she fits really well with Archer) She's hot, too :D
Aww shoot .. ._.
Well my obvious choice would be Rider, Caster and Sakura ... and a bit far behind, Archer ...
Dont really thing I need to explain my reasoning as you guys totally know mine already. :p
Aww man.. I wanna campaign >__<
Tsk, after Shuffle, we're missing all the fun on every poll :p Campaigning is fun :p Now there's no reason to keep posting on polls after you've voted... Bleh... Lame :p
In no real order:
Rin Tohsaka - Interesting personality, hawt. What more could you ask for?
Gilgamesh - He's gold, Gate of Babylon is an awesome phantasm, and his cocky-as-hell personality makes him fun rather than annoying to watch. Somehow. He has cool music too :D
Archer - Is awesome. Again, I like his attitude, his phantasm is awesome, and Episode 14 is still my favourite.
Saber - She's got looks, she's sweet in her naive way of thinking and has given many a funny moment throughout the series. Oh, and Excalibur and Avalon rule too.
Shirou because he's the man, Saber for the same reasons as Yuna in FFX...a real sweetheart that deserves better than what she thinks she's fated to get. Rin because she comes through when you need her there, and just all around rocks. And Rider because she deserved better in the anime...like being Sakura's servant instead and joining the harem as a soft, quiet, sweetheart (I am thinking that Rider's true personality mirrors Sakura's.)
W-who voted Shinji?(explain yourself monstert...)
My votes:
Saber---the main character! Why not?
Rin--she is like me...what can I say...Not voting for myself is a crime!
Lancer---the most sexy character in this series!
Gil---he confessed to me in my dreams, must give him a point for this.
Sakura---I forgot to click! I wanted to vote for Sakura too!
my votes are saber, rin,assassin,archer
saber and rin because they want me to embrace them with my muscular arms :heh:
assassin because he as smooth and cool as hell...not to forget charming ;)
archer because hes got a sense of humour just like me...sarcasm for the win...
My votes went to:
Caster: My favourite character, because I'm a sucker for tragic/romantic types like her. ^^; And I also like cunning, cold blooded bad guys (or girls), so Caster wins on all counts. She's ruthless in pursit of her goal (summoning the Holy Grail), but despite that, all she really wanted was to be loved and accepted. I'm more than happy to do so, I mean, how could I not? ;) Caster's possibly my favourite character out of all the series I'm watching at the moment, with only Yuki able to challenge her.
Souichirou: Because he took care of my beloved Caster. :x That would probably be enough to get a vote from me, but I actually like him anyway. He looks cool (IMO), he acts cool, and he can hold his own against a servant. It's his final moment that secures my vote though, when it shows that he had been hit by Gil's attack, but he didn't tell Caster because he wanted her to be happy. It was touching, especially coming from a character normally so cold and emotionless.
Sakura: She's cute.
Again, she's the type of character I like, and there's not much more reason than that. Timid characters like her make me go "Awwwwww~", as they're intended to.
Gilgamesh: I love arrogant characters maybe because I can relate to them >_> and you can't get much more arrogant than Gil. Having been spoiled, I was looking forward to his appearance, but I didn't realise he'd turn up and instantly claim that Saber belonged to him. That was a great moment. He's fun to watch, and overall, he's just... kind of... awesome. In fact, that I can forgive him for killing Caster and vote for him should be a testament to just how awesome he is. :p
my favourite characters still Archer
-considering his background story is the most interesting
-When he unleashed Unlimited Blade Works he was godlike
-Hes the coolest looking servant and hes got the cool guy attitude:
strong,silent and cynical
- and also because he got on everyones nerves so much even Rins :heh:
-Thought it was funny when Rin called Archer a jerk considering:
1)she said it to Shirou when he was carrying Saber
2)you summon a servant whos similar to you
saber, sakura, Acher, rin, caster and last rider of coures. ^_^
My favorites are:
Saber: this the first time that the main character is my favorite. She's very cool especially when she's fighting.
Rider: aside for her sexy appearance, she fights really good. And, I like her Noble Phantasm.
Caster: very mysterious and i like her blue hair :heh:
Gilgamesh: like Amaranthine said, he's too arrogant and too proud of himself which makes him one of my favorite too. And, his Gate of Babylon is cool, unleashing many weapons at will.
Archer: I like his materialization tricks. He wears red, and uses different blades.
Assassin: I like katana swords :) Maybe that's why he became my favorite. Oh! and he's always calm in battle.
why i like them? Saber- becasue of her personity and she's cool
sakura- because she's nice and cute
Acher-becasue his a badass lol
Rin- I like her tough personly
Caster- Becasue her story is very intersting
Rider- Becasue of her story with sakura and plus rider is one of the most intersting characters other then acher.
Gilgamesh: He is my favorite character. He is just so awesome, everything about him ^-^
Rin: sexiest female in the show bar none (I can feel the throngs of irate Rider fans screaming for my blood as I type this...). Besides, she's the character with most personality by far: intelligent, cool (being able to zorch Berserker once), shy, heartbroken (she often loses people dear to her without being able to show them her feelings), sarcastic, strict, teasing, volatile...
Yet she has many charming quirks: she pretends to be an ice sorceress queen and fails miserably. She always messes up in the worst moments. She always comes up with explanations that are rarely true. She's horribly lazy in the morning. She never shuts up. And she's the one who starts the threesomes :heh:
Archer: he's the Servant with the most original story, he's arrogant, he's sarcastic, he's a disobedient Servant (as contradictory as that is). He has the coolest special attack. And his character design oozes coolness, too.
Lancer: First, I like his legend a lot. He's a tragic, doomed character both in his life and his afterlife, like Caster. He has a tenacious and loyal personality, like Saber. But he seems more human than those two. And he manages to look kinda cool even wearing that fugly clothing. And he has the honor of being the first among the many Servants that have smited Shirou. Plus, he's voiced by Tasuki. LEKKA SHIEN!
Mi fourth choice would be Gilgamesh, but he doesn't have too much "normal" interaction with other characters so it's difficult to judge him.
not to metion that girl characters are hot. ^_^
Seems Archer is getting all the love :D
Is a explanation form me really necessary :eyebrow:
I want to campaing too :upset:

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary over the weekend by baptising their son.
The Hollywood couple wed on June 29, 2005, and marked their latest milestone with the christening of little Samuel, their third child, in Garner's hometown of Charleston in West Virginia.
The baptism took place at the Christ Church United Methodist on Sunday, the day after the stars enjoyed a low-key anniversary meal.
Samuel's big sisters, Violet and Seraphina, were also present for his baptism, alongside members of Garner's family.

The Catholic Worker is part of my life, at least on Mondays when I stop by Maryhouse for a bite to eat and Evening Prayer after saying Mass around the corner at my former parish, Nativity. But on Thursday, May 1, I was also in that neighborhood of Manhattan's Lower East Side at the other Worker house, St. Joseph's, two blocks away. A special Mass and celebration there marked the Catholic Worker's 75th year. On that date in 1933, Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin and others walked up to Union Square, a rallying place for political protests, to sell the first copies of The Catholic Worker newspaper. The very fact that the stated aim of the Catholic Worker movement is "to live in accordance with the justice and charity of Jesus Christ" stands out as an implicit protest against the injustices of a world beset by violence and greed. As Dorothy Day herself once said, "God meant things to be much easier than we have made them"—especially as we have made them for the poor and marginalized.
Catholic Worker houses of hospitality are spread throughout the country and abroad, but it is those two on the Lower East Side that I know best, though I have also visited the Worker farm north of New York City. In the 1970s, during my first stint in New York, I remember seeing Dorothy Day at Mass at Nativity; and I still recall where she sat, a dignified figure dressed in whatever the Workers' clothing room had to offer. A friend, referring to her as a living saint, had by then led me to her autobiography, The Long Loneliness. But it was only through visiting the two houses on the Lower East Side that I came to have a sense of what a Catholic Worker house is actually like.
When I knock on the Maryhouse door on Mondays and walk down into the large dining room, I see a varied group of people, some healthy and strong, but most frail in body or mind or both—the very mix of people with whom Jesus might have spent time. The home-cooked dinner has arrived by then from St. Joseph House, in a rumbling shopping cart pushed by the famous Eugene. At the end of the Maryhouse dining room is a small table presided over by Evelyn, a longtime resident who immigrated from Haiti decades ago. Her table is something of a gathering site and my favorite spot for supper.
Afterward I climb to the third floor with Communion for Frank Donovan and Ed Forand, 90 and 91 years old respectively, who worked closely with Dorothy Day. Frank, in fact, lives in the very room in which she spent the final years before her death in 1980. Her desk and other furnishings are still there, though her papers are now in a special collection at Marquette University. After those visits, it's back to Evelyn's table in the dining room for Evening Prayer.
Very old prayer books emerge from the nearby china closet, along with a candle for the center of the table. Once Evelyn has set the ribbons in their proper places (or scraps of paper if ribbons have disintegrated), she divides the people around the table into two groups, so that they can recite psalms antiphonally. When we reach the petitions, we offer many for ill or struggling people, and usually one "for an end to this dreadful war in Iraq." We end with a prayer penciled into the backs of the books that begins, "May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life." A useful prayer with which to end the day.
The ministry at both houses—in its personal care for the frail and in its advocacy for Gospel nonviolence—stands out as a needed sign of contradiction in a once poor but now gentrified area that nevertheless still attracts many poor and homeless people in need of basic assistance. Dorothy Day herself contributed articles to America in the 1930s on the struggles of poor people, and near the altar for that May 1 Mass was the same steel serving table in front of the ovens where she herself often stood. Over the years, thousands have received nourishment in that room, both physical food and the bread of life whenever Mass is celebrated, as it was that night.
In 2000 the late Cardinal John O'Connor of New York introduced the cause for Dorothy Day's beatification, and with that initial step she became known as Servant of God. But throughout her adult life of ministering to the poor and going to jail for just causes, she had long since earned that title many times over.

The Jefferson Airplane and The Jaywalkers are featured in this early May, 1966 dance concert. Wes Wilson's signature wavy letters come close to filling the paper, and the human head shape is discernable, this time with a gaping maw.
Our t-shirts consists of vintage and retro rock t-shirts, concert poster ties, vintage rock jackets and concert hats. Many of our concert tees were created for and made at the time of a particular event or performance.
About Wes Wilson
When the Avalon Ballroom and Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium began to hold weekly dance concerts, Wilson was called upon to design the posters. He created psychedelic posters from February 1966 to May 1967, when disputes over money severed his connection with Graham. Wilson pioneered the psychedelic rock poster. Intended for a particular audience, "one that was tuned in to the psychedelic experience," his art, and especially the exaggerated freehand lettering, emerged from Wilson's own involvement with that experience and the psychedelic art of light shows.

Deacon Duncan linked to this hilarious post on the Answers in Genesis website, which is an open letter from someone named Bodie Hodge to atheists everywhere. It's every bit as ridiculous as one would predict it to be, starting with the very first paragraph:
Are you tired of all the evil associated with the philosophy of atheism—Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and so on? After all, most murderers, tyrants, and rapists are not biblical Christians, and most have rejected the God of the Bible. Even if they claim to believe in the God of the Bible, they are not really living like a true Christ follower (who strives to follow God's Word), are they?
Only True Christianstm employ No True Scotsman so effortlessly.
Do you feel conflicted about the fact that atheism has no basis in morality (i.e., no absolute right and wrong; no good, no bad?) If someone stabs you in the back, treats you like nothing, steals from you, or lies to you, it doesn't ultimately matter in an atheistic worldview where everything and everyone are just chemical reactions doing what chemicals do. And further, knowing that you are essentially no different from a cockroach in an atheistic worldview (since people are just animals) must be disheartening.
He's not really equating atheists with cockroaches, of course, he's equating them with the straw man he's beating the hell out of — in the name of Jesus, of course.
Are you tired of the fact that atheism (which is based in materialism, a popular worldview today) has no basis for logic and reasoning? Is it tough trying to get up every day thinking that truth, which is immaterial, really doesn't exist? Are you bothered by the fact that atheism cannot account for uniformity in nature (the basis by which we can do real science)? Why would everything explode from nothing and, by pure chance, form beautiful laws like E=MC2 or F=MA?
For professing atheists, these questions can be overwhelming to make sense of within their worldview. And further, within an atheistic worldview, atheists must view themselves as God. Essentially, atheists are claiming to be God. Instead of saying there may not be a God, they say there is no God. To make such a statement, they must claim to be omniscient, which is an essential attribute of the God of the Bible) among other attributes of God as well.1 So, by saying there is no God, the atheist refutes his own position by addressing the question as though he or she were God!
Seriously, is this supposed to be a convincing argument to anyone with an IQ above that of a turnip? It just goes on and on like that. It would actually make a pretty good object lesson in the use of logical fallacies.

May 1922 to March 2013
The beloved patriarch of our family has passed away just a few months shy of his 91st birthday. He is survived by his wife, Bettie, five children, nine of ten grandchildren, and two great- grandchildren. Ken and Bettie had a long love affair, were frequently seen holding hands, and would have been married seventy years this June. He inspired all of us by his example of stability, honesty, humility, generosity and integrity.
Ken had a forty year career at Boeing Aircraft Company. Within his first six years with the company, Ken was Chief of the Aerodynamics Staff in Wichita, and oversaw the production of the B47. Boeing ultimately built 2000 planes that served as part of the Cold War deterrent, as they could reach Moscow from bases in England and North Africa.
At the age of thirty-five, he became the Chief of Aerodynamics for the newly formed Commercial Airline Division. By 1972 Ken was promoted to VP General Manager of the 747 project, and ran the Everett plant for six years. Ken, Joe Sutter, Robert Davis and Everette Webb were recognized two decades later as the "visionary developers" of the 747, and were awarded the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Aerospace Prize.
In 1978, Ken was made the VP General Manager of New Programs, which included the 757 and 767 jetliners. Both models sold over a thousand planes and the majority are in service to this day. In 1984, Ken, Phil Condit and Everett Webb were awarded the Aircraft Design Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for managerial and technical leadership "creating two airplanes of outstanding performance and economy."
In the last five years of his career, Ken was promoted to Senior Vice President of the Corporate Management Council, serving as the top technical engineer for the company. Although officially retired in 1987, Ken served as a trustee for the Pacific Science Center, and was on the boards of Key Tronic, Chrysler Corporation's Technical Council, and York International. Ken was also a fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, and the British Royal Aeronautical Society.
His travels for Boeing took him to England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, South Africa, Australia, Israel, Kuwait and Japan. He flew a delivery flight with Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia, met the Shah of Iran, and was presented a watch by King Hussein of Jordan. An even greater highlight for him was skiing with former Olympian Jean-Claude Killy.
Ken's passions beyond flight design and problem solving were sailing, skiing, tennis, woodworking, and Friday night hamburgers and tater tots with his family. Ken called Snowmass Village, Colorado "My Shangri-la," and was fond of starting a ski day by enthusiastically proclaiming, "Another day in paradise!" He was well into his eighties before he reluctantly gave up his season ticket. His ashes will be spread on the Sheer Bliss ski run on Snowmass Mountain.
Ken is survived by his wife Bettie Roberts Holtby; his children Mike Holtby (Judy Linn), Tracy Meilleur (Raoul), Jeff Holtby (Jennifer Sand), Kris Buren (Bobby) and Matt Holtby; his grandchildren Lisa, Damon, Jamila, Carrie, Ryan, Amanda, Meadow, Birdie, and Hazel; and his great-grandchildren Benjamin and Jaden.
Donations in Ken's name can be made to his alma mater, Caltech; or his favorite charities:The Museum of Flight, the Pacific Science Center, or Doctors Without Borders.
A small memorial service will be held April 27th on Whidbey Island. Please contact a family member for further details.

The Fox on The Fairway
University Theatre at Angelo State University will continue its 2013-14 season with the dinner theatre production of "The Fox on the Fairway," a madcap comedy about romance, life and man's eternal love affair with … golf, beginning Thursday, Aug. 1, in the ASU Modular Theatre.
Show times will be at 8 p.m. Aug. 1-3 and Aug. 8-10, with dinner to be served at 6:45 p.m. A special matinee performance is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, with lunch served at 12:45 p.m.

The second of two Arts at ASU summer dinner theatre productions, "The Fox on the Fairway" is a hilarious romp that pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, the play has been called a tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s.
Written by Ken Ludwig, "The Fox on the Fairway" debuted in Arlington, Va., in 2010. The ASU production is directed by Mike Burnett, assistant professor of theatre and assistant director of University Theatre.
The student cast includes Tyler Tennell as Justin, Heather Walker as Louise, Jacob Scott as Bingham, Chloé Casey as Pamela, Jose Villedas as Dickie, Brooke Addison as Muriel, Jordon Shocklee as the female understudy, and Collyn Glaspie as the male understudy.
The production crew includes Elizabeth Holland, stage manager; Sawyer Hirt, assistant stage manager; Ella Burnett, scenic designer; Larry Hettick, lighting designer; Cassie Trautman, costume designer/wardrobe supervisor; Ryder Cornelison, sound designer/sound board operator; Misty Siler, props master; Maggie Hogan, master electrician; Hallie Behrens, light board operator; Caden Glass, props crew; Lura Cummins, wardrobe crew; Rebecca Sussdorf, house manager; and Katie Kejl, maître ď.
Tickets are on sale at the ASU box office, which is open 2-6 p.m. weekdays. For reservations and/or ticket information, call 325-942-2000.
Subscriptions for the 2013-14 Arts at ASU season, which includes four more plays and 10 music performances, are still available for $30. Subscribers gain free admission to plays and concerts and pay just $15 for dinner theatres. For more information on "The Fox on the Fairway" and/or season subscriptions, call 325-942-2146 or go online to www.angelo.edu/dept/arts/theatre/theatre_schedule.php.
