Amber Long reward temporarily increased to $20,000 for arrest, $47,00 for arrest and conviction
The reward from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 is now $20,000. But only until Feb. 16.
Lodge 5 announced on Monday it added another $10,000 to its reward for information that leads to the arrest of those responsible for the slaying of 26-year-old Amber Long, who on Jan. 19 was shot and killed in front of her mother.
But to receive the $20,000, the information must come forward by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 16.
At the time of Long's murder the city chipped in $20,000, the Citizens Crime Commission added $7,000, and Lodge 5 offered $10,000 for a total of $37,000.
However, to receive the city's and the Crime Commission's reward, the tip must lead to an arrest and a conviction.
But to receive the FOP's reward, the information must only lead to an arrest.
"Anytime we offer a reward, we don't put the arrest and conviction caveat on," said Bob Ballentine, the Lodge 5 recording secretary. "We want people to know that if you turn somebody in, you could get paid that day."
If someone is harboring concrete information that will lead to an arrest and conviction, there is $47,000 on the table. But less than six days remain.
Police are asking tipsters to call 215-686-8477 (TIPS) or the Homicide Division at 215-686-3334/3335/3336.

Real Name
Shaul Guerrero

October 14, 1990
Place of Birth
Rumors are floating around that WWE is going to be bringing in another member of the Wyatt Family to help Bray Wyatt regain some of the momentum that he has lost over the last couple of weeks. Word has it that the story line will consists of Erick Rowan and Luke Harper both being banned from ringside at Summerslam 2014. The new character would make their debut that night.
August 3, 2014
A familiar face showed up on Impact Wrestling not too long ago. Ezekiel Jackson made his debut for TNA. However, it is simply a temporary stint for the big man. The belief is that Jackson signed on for a couple of appearances in order to increase his name value with independent wrestling promoters. It improves your chances of being signed when you are spotted on a nationally televised show.
August 1, 2014
Some interesting news coming out of TNA, as Bellator has now announced that Bobby Lashley will be making his MMA debut for their company in September. The current world heavyweight champion is scheduled to fight against veteran Josh Burns at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The belief is that Spike heavily pushed to make this happen as Bellator and TNA are two of their top performing brands.
July 16, 2014
In a really interesting move, WWE is looking to hire a body double for Sting, so that they can film some sort of stunt for the upcoming DVD about the legendary WCW star. While many fans are clamoring for Sting to finally make his debut in WWE, the belief is that the two sides have only come to an agreement on a contract to produce content and merchandise.
June 9, 2014
While WWE was severely disappointed with the fact that the previous episode lost viewers, management is extremely pleased that Total Divas drew in big numbers. The season finale, which featured the much anticipated wedding of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, drew in more than 1.5 million viewers. The third season has already been renewed and will make its debut this upcoming fall.
June 3, 2014

Things change pretty rapidly backstage in WWE, and that appears to be the case with the Adam Rose push. While he might still get his pay per view debut at Payback 2014 against Jack Swagger, there are those in management who feel that his television debut on Monday Night Raw was a flop. There are even rumors floating around that Rose could be sent back down to WWE NXT.
May 12, 2014
It looks like Adam Rose is going to be leapfrogging other WWE stars this month, as the former developmental wrestler is penciled in for a match at Payback 2014. His pay per view debut is expected to be against Jack Swagger, whom he confronted during Monday Night Raw this past week. There are those backstage in WWE that feel that his character can get over with the live audience in Chicago.
May 10, 2014
It looks like TNA is investing heavily into Bram, a new character who recently made his debut as a childhood friend of former world heavyweight champion Brutus Magnus. Even though he has yet to make a name for himself in the industry, Bram has been given a multiple year contract by TNA. While it may not be for a large sum of money, the commitment is quite telling.
May 9, 2014
Smith Hart, the older brother of Bret Hart, had been promoting a show, where David Benoit, the son of Chris Benoit, was going to be making his official debut in professional wrestling. However, Chris Jericho decided to step in and prevent that from happening. The former WWE champion felt that Benoit was not trained enough, so he reportedly convince Chavo Guerrero to back out of the event as well.
May 8, 2014
Wizard World is making its debut in San Antonio later this year, and the promoters have wisely secured one of the biggest names in WWE for the event. In August, John Cena will be heading down to Texas to make an appearance at the comic convention. The former world heavyweight champion has been scheduled to sign autographs and take pictures with fans for approximately four hours.
May 7, 2014

May 2, 2014
"Willow was my bad guy identity when Matt Hardy and I were running the OMEGA shows. I would be Jeff Hardy as the good guy and Willow would be the bad guy wrestling Matt across the indie circuit. It was an alter-ego back then, and now I had a chance to bring it back in TNA. I'm glad they gave me the chance to do it because it means the world to me to see how cool the promos have turned out and the vignettes leading up to the debut, and the entrance. The in-ring matches are still a work in progress for me, but it's fun to be that extension of myself, especially now at 36 years old on national TV." - Jeff Hardy discusses his new character on Impact Wrestling
April 26, 2014
With so many of his peers, including JBL, Michael Cole, Jim Ross, Chris Jericho and Steve Austin, finding success doing shows online, Taz is following suit. The TNA commentator announced that he was going to debut his own online radio show soon. The format will basically be the former world heavyweight champion talking about the daily topics in professional wrestling.
April 22, 2014
While management has not officially give him an extended feud to work with since his debut, Alexander Rusev is still being penciled in for a filler match at Extreme Rules 2014. He is expected to squash someone in a quick segment. Top candidates right now are Zack Ryder, R Truth and Xavier Woods, as those are the three WWE performers he has worked with lately.
April 18, 2014
In a rather peculiar move, WWE instructed the security personnel at Monday Night Raw to remove any signs that involves Sting. Rumors have spread this week that the legendary performer was close to signing a deal to finally join WWE. The belief is that management wants to ensure that his arrival is a surprise, even though most fans online have already heard about the possibility of his debut.
April 15, 2014
A buzz was created in the world of professional wrestling earlier tonight when Sting made his official debut on the WWE Network. The former world heavyweight did an interview segment, where he talked about his former tag team partner, the Ultimate Warrior. Sting revealed that Warrior used to blend tuna and orange juice into a drink.
April 15, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Alexander Rusev has been removed from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw for the second week in a row. His debut match against Zack Ryder was omitted the previous week. He defeated Xavier Woods this week and assaulted R Truth afterwards. Apparently, WWE did not feel that was important enough to include on the Hulu version.
April 15, 2014
A video from WWE Main Event of a match between Alexander Rusev, who made his in ring debut on Monday Night Raw this week against Zack Ryder, and Sin Cara. This segment was designed to give even further credibility to Rusev, who is expected to be booked in victories on television over the next couple of weeks.
April 11, 2014
While Eddie Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero both became big stars for WWE, their daughter Shaul Guerrero was simply not able to follow in their footsteps. After being released twice from the company's developmental program, she has decided to take a different career path. Shaul has signed up for veterinarian school and has reportedly started attending classes for that.
June 16, 2014
Since several wrestlers received a release from their developmental contracts earlier this week, the remaining performers are a bit nervous about their own status with WWE. Baron Corbin is one of those performers. He was recently given a gimmick change and a new valet in Shaul Guerrero. Since she has been released, there are concerns that he could be next to go.
May 3, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Shaul Guerrero was released by WWE because the company wanted to punish her because her mother is leaving soon. Vickie Guerrero has been going to school and focusing on other business ventures. Some are saying that WWE does not want to keep Shaul around if Vickie is not going to be a part of the company.
May 3, 2014
Rumors going around are that Shaul Guerrero was caught a bit off guard by her release from WWE this week. She recently did a photo shoot, where she and Baron Corbin both did gimmick changes. Many had expected her to try out the new character on WWE NXT. Shaul has been quiet on Twitter, where her last post was during Monday Night Raw.
May 1, 2014
Some things are just not meant to be. Shaul Guerrero will never follow her in the footsteps of her father and mother by being a star in WWE. The company released the developmental diva earlier today. She had been working on WWE NXT in a variety of roles. This is the second stint that has ended for Shaul. She initially signed a contract back in 2010.
April 30, 2014
A picture of Baron Corbin with Shaul Guerrero. It appears that the WWE NXT star has been given a new gimmick and manager. This should help increase his chance of being called up to the main roster next year.
April 28, 2014
A picture of Shaul Guerrero showing off the dress that she wore to the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. She revealed that the Marilyn Monroe inspired outfit was in honor of her father, the late Eddie Guerrero.
April 6, 2014
Like a lot of the female performers in the industry, Shaul Guerrero watched Lita when she was younger. With the news that WWE is inducting her into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30, Guerrero took to Twitter to post this congratulations message.
February 10, 2014
At the NXT show in Tampa last night, Shaul Guerrero returned to the ring. She worked a tag team match with Sasha Banks against Bailey and Emma. After the loss, Guerrero turned on Banks and smeared lipstick all over her face.
December 20, 2013
WWE has decided to put Shaul Guerrero, the daughter of Eddie Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero, with Mason Ryan and Jason Jordan as their manager down in NXT.
December 8, 2013
Shaul Guerrero has also been doing some announcing in NXT, as she continues training as an in ring performer.

PORTAGE (WKZO) -- Portage School officials sponsored a forum on teen bullies last night and on teen suicide, which often results from bullying behavior.
They outlined how to recognize when your child might be a bully, and when your child may be a victim. They also outlined what parents need to do to combat cyber-bullying.
Principal Jim French says parents need to monitor their child's on-line habits, know their passwords and keep up on their communications.
Counselor Amy Dimaggio says it was the kind of presentation that staff and teachers usually see. She says they all need to be on the same page.
They say it could save lives, and while the problem isn't any worse in Portage schools or any less significant, they want to take the initiative to combat it.
One Michigan community has taken a cruel act of bullying and turned it on its ear. Whitney Kropp was voted onto the Homecoming Court as a joke, something engineered by a group of students to ridicule and embarrass her. When she first heard, she was elated, but then she found out thru social media that it was not because she was popular.
For a while Whitney says she felt suicidal and unworthy. Then Whitney rallied, and friends put together a facebook page and local businesses got behind her, donating a yellow prom dress and a beauty shop will be donating their services to make sure she is a stunner Friday night.
Ogemaw Heights School officials won't discussing their plans for the kids behind the bullying, but under new state laws, they cannot ignore it.

By Lawrence White and Steve Slater
HONG KONG/LONDON (Reuters) - Standard Chartered Plc
The Asia-focused British lender said it was still able to achieve an 11th consecutive year of record profits, driven by strong Asian markets, but it will ease back on hiring to rein in growing wage costs.
The profitability of banks in Asia has been squeezed by quantitative easing in the West and falling interest rates.
While banks have been able to fund themselves at ultra-low rates, they have also been getting little for the large amounts of money they keep with central banks rather than lending out to the real economy or investing in higher-yielding assets.
Operating profit at both Standard Chartered's consumer and investment banking arms fell by about 5 percent in the first three months of 2013.
Revenues in the first quarter were slightly higher than in the first quarter of 2012 and Finance Director Richard Meddings said profit margins had stabilized.
But he said the impact of western monetary policy on Asia was "the key anxiety" that could affect revenues, which Standard Chartered aims to increase by 10 percent a year.
"At this point, we'd prefer to wait to see how May and June land before we give that guidance (of 10 percent revenue growth)," Meddings told reporters on a conference call. "Last year we produced revenue growth of 8 percent and it may be that we're more likely to be at that level."
The bank, which makes about four fifths of its operating profit in Asia and the Middle East, said it was comfortable with analyst forecasts for pretax profit of $8.2 billion this year, up 18 percent from 2012.
It said its performance had weakened in South Korea and in Singapore.
Korea's government has overhauled personal debt restructuring processes as part of a wider social welfare program, which includes more forgiveness on troubled long-term loans, and Standard Chartered said its consumer bad debts there had increased by more than 10 percent, more than expected.
Its London-listed shares were down 4.7 percent at 16.19 pounds by 0639 ET, putting it on course for its biggest daily drop since its shares crashed in August after charges it violated U.S. sanctions against Iran.
"The Q1 trading statement is the first one in a long time in which Standard Chartered is down in operating profit comparisons on a year-on-year basis, both in the wholesale bank and the consumer bank," said Chirantan Barua, an analyst at brokerage Bernstein.
Costs rose on the year, including a "high single-digit" percentage rise in staff costs after the addition of 560 employees in the quarter and wage inflation, the bank said in its trading statement. It does not issue full quarterly numbers and releases earnings twice a year.
Standard Chartered has previously said it could hire about 2,000 staff this year.
"We will still be hiring, the business still has good growth, but we will be pacing the rate of that hiring more acutely until we are more certain of the income run rate," Meddings said.
Hong Kong was once again Standard Chartered's standout market in the first quarter, with income growing more than 10 percent, mirroring a strong performance there reported by rival HSBC
Income in Africa also rose more than 10 percent.
The bank holds its annual shareholder meeting in London later on Wednesday, when a disagreement over corporate governance could flare with Singapore investor Temasek, its biggest shareholder that holds an 18 percent stake.
Temasek abstained last year from voting to re-elect some directors, signaling a disagreement with how the bank had constructed its board.
The AGM will also be the first since Standard Chartered was hit last year by a $667 million settlement of charges that it violated U.S. sanctions on Iran, Sudan, and other countries. The bank agreed to a deferred prosecution deal as part of the settlement, meaning its U.S. operations are monitored.

Here are five questions that will be answered in the Georgia Dome next week in the Class AAAAA final:
Which team will win its first title? Either Gainesville or Ware County will take home its first state championship when they meet at 8:30 p.m. Friday. This is the third trip to the championship game for Ware County, which lost to Northside-Warner Robins in 2007 and Carrollton in 1961. Gainesville will be making its seventh trip to the final and its first since losing to Peach County 13-12 in 2009. Neither coach – Ware County's Ed Dudley nor Gainesville's Bruce Miller – has ever won a state championship.
Can anyone stop Deshaun Watson? Gainesville's quarterback continues to put up staggering numbers. He surpassed 5,000 combined yards passing and rushing for the season in a 28-14 victory over Whitewater on Friday with 227 yards passing and 94 rushing, according to the Gainesville Times. Those numbers increase his season totals to 3,707 yards passing and 1,356 passing, and he has had a hand in 69 touchdowns. Gainesville is averaging 45.1 points per game for the season and 48.5 in the playoffs.
Will Zach Stanford be watching? Stanford, who was Metter's quarterback from 2001-2004, holds the state record for career passing yards with 9,062. But not for long. Watson has 9,046 (unofficially) after Gainesville's victory over Whitewater and needs just 17 to break the record. And if he doesn't get the record in the championship game – Watson is averaging 265 yards per game this season – he surely will put it pretty far out of reach next year in his senior season.
Can Ware County's defense do it one more time? If anyone can slow down Gainesville's offense, it might be Ware County. The Gators' defense ranks among the state's best, allowing an average of 8.6 points per game with five shutouts. Ware County limited Stephenson to 63 yards of total offense in a 14-0 victory in the quarterfinals, then held Northside to a season low in points in a 24-17 overtime victory in the semifinals on Friday. Richmond Hill's 24 points were the most scored against the Gators this season.
Will Ware County get some respect? Ware County has been one of the most under-the-radar region champions in AAAAA this season. The Gators have won 13 consecutive games since a season-opening loss to AAAAAA Coffee but haven't been ranked higher than No. 6. In fact, Ware County has been ranked higher than fifth for only two weeks week since losing in the state final to Northside in 2007 and finishing No. 2 that year. The Gators have reached at least the second round of the playoffs every year since 2007.

How about more kudos for the mighty Red Elephants? I watched GHS play Waycross in 1960 state AA championship at City Park we lost 49-0 52 years later we are finish the drill! Go Big Red

No one gave Ware a chance against NSWR and the 17 points they got was because Ware went into a prevent defense as the ball was on NSWR 10 yard line with 3 minutes to go down 17-7. I think NSWR was stunned at how quick and fast the Ware team was. Tobler is an amazing athete and when NSWR shocked everone with that amazing comeback to send it into overtime, the life got sucked out of the stadium for the Ware fans and Tobler stepped up and put the team on his back. It should be a great game as Gainesville is high powered and Ware is quick an agile on defense.

pulling for North GA……. come om Gville

It was a great game for both teams. Ware has great coach, players and fans that never gave up…Pulling for Gators to win it all.

Guess Stephenson and NSWR should have stayed in the highest classification huh……..
December 8th, 2012
11:49 am
Classic matchup: high octane no huddle offense against a nasty hard nosed defense. Do many ware players play both ways? Dont sleep on the gville D, very quick and opportunistic. Like bart scott said "cant wait!".
December 8th, 2012
11:51 am
Should be a great game. I hope it doesn't come down to a field goal for the elephants because Coach Miller doesn't know what a field goal is.

Waycross kicked the crap out of Gainesville in 1960, and Waycross is going to kick the crap out of them AGAIN in 2012! Gainesville stinks — in football and literally!

12:18 pm
@Red elephant 65 guess you missed the 68 championship vs St Pius. Gainsville didn't even get a first down, not even in warm-ups. It was played in a driving rain storm. Heck the lightning was going but they never stopped that game. Today everyone would of been sued. Just a little friendly needeling going on here I know all about the Red Elephants firepower. Glad to play you in those scrimmage games a few years back.
The game will be played indoors thats good because I see Atlanta is getting rain all week. This is a great weekend for Ga High school good luck to everyone. PS Red Elephants beWare you are playing against another St. Pius guy.
December 8th, 2012
12:21 pm
Congrats to Ware County for putting the kibosh on Northside's spread option. Go get'em Gainesville.
December 8th, 2012
12:24 pm
I am an avid Northside of Warner Robins fan/graduate and watched the game on the WCHS web last night. I would just like to say the announcers were some of the best I have ever heard. They gave NHS such praise during the entire game. Thanks WCHS and I wish you well in the championship game.
December 8th, 2012
12:42 pm
I agree, SRS. Thats the first time I've heard the Ware announcers and they may be better than Colquitt's.
December 8th, 2012
1:04 pm
I have nothing but respect for the players and fans of NSWR sure hope my gator's can keep it going and give Gainesville a run for their money.Last night was one of the best games i have seen in really long time if you were not there you missed a heck of a game.
December 8th, 2012
1:36 pm
Agree on the Ware Co announcers, they were pretty good, but they got "giddy" and were talking about making motel reservations in Atlanta with about 4 mins. to go. Almost had egg on their faces. They are right up there with the Colquitt Co. guys on their knowledge and expertise about HS football. BTW, if that game had been in Warner Robins NS would have won it easily. Never should have been played in Waycross. As an opponent of the coin toss, it has to be dumped. Regular season record should mean something. A team who is undefeated should never have to travel to an opponent's park who has one loss. Ware Co. should consider themselves very "lucky"!
December 8th, 2012
1:38 pm
Just because a team from South GA doesn't get media coverage doesn't mean they aren't a good football team (if that we're true, the SEC would have never grown to be the BEST in college football in the country…it would still be the media darlings such as USC, ND, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, etc)
…just because a team loses early in the season doesn't mean they aren't a good football team (you might want to refer to UGA this season; & too many others to list here)
…what happened 50 years ago will have absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming state championship game
The game will be played by a team with no big media coverage from South GA that has been shown little respect for their stellar defense and tenacity to fight as a team verses a team that should win simply because the media knows and promotes them as the latest, greatest team to come out of the metro Atlanta area with some goof athletes including a record setting quarterback. If we listened to the inference of media writers, the trophy should already be awarded and the formality of the game would simply be a early Christmas gift for the future memory of the boys that are surrounded by slash pines, live oak trees and prehistoric animals that continue to reside in the Okeefenokee Swamp.
The winner of the game will be the one that has fought the hardest, made the least amount of turnovers, played together as a team and who has the most points when the clock winds down to zero in the fourth quarter.
Please don't misunderstand my point…the media is important…however, it's purpose is to report, and even provide human interest perspectives, not to generate presuppositional perspectives that disrespect a team of young developing men that just happen to live in a more agrarian area of the state.
December 8th, 2012
1:45 pm
Correction: paragraph 4, line 5, should read "good" athletes.
December 8th, 2012
2:15 pm
I'm not sure what team Dum-Bass was watching or listening to, but it wouldn't have matter, where NSWR & Ware played last night. Ware dominated the game except for the last 3 minutes when they went into their prevent. Get over the fact that there is a coin toss. You strap it up and play it on the field. Oh and your stupid comment about Ware county being Lucky, there was no luck involved my friend just a good ole South Georgia Butt Whippin!!!!!!!!!
December 8th, 2012
2:36 pm
Big red a metro atl school? Hardly. Gainesville is a solid 55 miles away from atl. Really duznt matter. Dumass quit yo bitchin bout the darn coin flip! Kinda wudda liked to play the eagles just to have been the ones to quiet all the obnoxious nswr posters – montano – where ya at? Ware took care of the eagles. Now its gator stompin time!
December 8th, 2012
3:27 pm
The Gators simply brought it. Those young men deserve praise and all the well-wishes going into the State Championship. I did not hear the announcers, but I am very proud of our Northside Eagles (again). 13-1 may bring criticism on this board and I know that people in Warner Robins have lost a sense of reality about Northside football.
However, this has got to be one of my favorite teams to ever play at Northside. They clearly have the heart of a champion. Tucker outplayed us and had us pinned against the wall. These Eagles (players and coaches) kept fighting when the fanbase and our announcers (who should be ashamed of themselves for their commentating during the Tucker game) gave up. Ware County outplayed us…outclassed us. It is as simple as that. Down 7-17 with 30 second is usually time for the Fat Lady to get her stuff and go home…she should have already sang. These Eagles did not hear her voice and continued to fight. Ware deserved the win. Ware got the win. At the end of the day, they were better than us. I'll take a 13 win season on any year. Congratulations Northside. Good luck Ware County and Gainesville.
December 8th, 2012
3:45 pm
Should be a very good match up. How will Ware adjust to playing on the road for the first time in the playoffs? How will Gainesville handle the top rated defense?
December 8th, 2012
4:03 pm
Gainesville and Waycross (years before the county merger) met for the state title in the early 60s. Waycross dominated that game 49-0. In those days, Waycross played the poor step child to Valdosta. After both won their respective classifications, Waycross suggested another game for charity. Valdosta refrained. Nobody ever accused their coach Bazemore of stupidity. It was a "no win" for the school and he knew it.
A few years later, before consolidation, Ware County played for a state title in Waycross, only to lose in a high scoring affair. I look forward to next week's game!
December 8th, 2012
4:16 pm
I was at that game in 1960, Waycross had a player, I think (?) Jimmy Guy if memory serves me correctly. He stood out as a giant beside all other players on either team. Gainesville had dominated most teams all season but was brutally beaten by Waycross that year.

Well well well yes it will be a great game but unless WATSON dose not show up to play RED ELEPHANT by 21 points easy

Since Ware County has only allowed 8.6 points per game, five shutouts and only allowed 24 points in one game, it would be a significant accomplishment for Gainesville to score 21 points, much less win by 21 points. If they were to score 21 points (apart from an overtime game score), they would stand a significant chance of winning the game, provided, of course, that Ware County doesn't score at least one more point than their best efforts.
The game still has to be played on the field…with all respect due to Northside, ask Northside…you might remember that all the media prognosticators predicted that they would soundly whip the Gators on their home field by a minimum of fourteen points. The danger in believing the press lies in overconfidence and/or lack of respect for your opponent; both of which will diminish your ability to play the game at your best. Gentlemen, the game will be played Friday night…and that is where the two championship football teams will give their all to prove who is the 2012 state champion.

Thanks for all the comments Eagle Nation supporters. You have a never say die team. I was in the stands in 2007 and again last night and couldn't believe what I saw at the end of regulation. But there is something different about this team. Everyone talks about Ware losing to Coffee, but we had 3 turnovers in the 4th Qt and pretty much outplayed them up to then. Coffee walked on Whitewater 41-3 at 12-2 team. Lost to Burke (11-2 team) in a close game, lost to Lowndes by 2 and played Camden tough for 3 quarters but they had a lot of injured players during the season. That loss was a wake up call for Ware and they are hitting on all 8 cylinders as is Gainesville. It should be a great game.

Well, well my mighty gators prove the bloggers wrong, pull out another upset, it seem the gators r the only region champs not getting any respect gators will have to get it this Friday at 8:30p.m. That was a great high school game against Warner robins. They have nothing to hang their heads down for. Gators just wanted it more. And the gator defense played great (bend but not break)

DAWG 3 you will see a johnny football this sat you may have the defense but he has a compleat team just hope your offense can hold on to the ball other wise it be a long day for WARE county

Since I am from Texas & have worn the red & black in Athens over 30 yrs ago, in addition to having done graduate work while residing in the Bryan/College Station area, I think that I might be qualified to remind you that the game will be won & lost on the field of play Friday night. It will not be influenced by attributing a superficial greatness to someone, that no doubt, is a very good high school football player…it's probably a little premature to project greatness to someone that has not earned it. If such grandiose claims had any truth, logic would dictate that Ware County shouldn't bother to dress out for the contest. The game still has to be played and I look forward to seeing a great game that so many of us dreamed about while boys, yet very few have had the privilege to participate.

Congrats DAWG 3 seems the game has to be played to have a winner but greatness always is good to have on your side I no old ED DUDLEY will have ware county ready to go. Good luck to both teams.

Gainesville is very good, but without exceptional qb play, seem to be a fairly normal team. If you contain Watson, and put a little pressure on him, as WW did in the 2nd half, they are very beatable. Ware Co. gets it done in a close one!
December 9th, 2012

I with lovejoy all day but I can't wait to see this ware county defense especially after they beat Northside and Stephenson wow they have to be the truth

@@@AP……"Gainesville is very good, but without exceptional qb play, seem to be a fairly normal team"…….Really?? Without the state's soon to be leader in passing they are fairly normal?? The problem is, he is the QB, and he does play for Gainesville. Take away any truly exceptional player on a team and usually that team isn't as good. Great insight…..NOT!!

@wolfbait67 That sure would be nice… all the schools not far off from each other gettin trophies!!!
December 9th, 2012
9:19 pm
@AP that may be true, but what you have to consider is that not do we have a GREAT quarterback, but probably the best WR core in the state as well… b/c not only does the QB have to throw a good ball, but the WRs have to make the catch. And alot of high school teams have one or the other or they only have 1 good WR. Gville has at least 7 interchangeable WRs not to mention the runningbacks can catch as well…
December 9th, 2012

First of all you ant going to stop WATSON he going to get his yards with his feet or arm the only way any team beat GAINESVILLE is keep their offense of the field ball control win this game both teams are good or they wood not be in the championship
December 9th, 2012
10:46 pm
I hope Ware Co wins it all. They beat my team (Stephenson) fair and square, then beat #1 NSWR. You have to tip your hat and wish them success the in the final against Gainesville. Go Gators!

Great Offense vs Great Defense, I can't wait and I'm sure the dome will be rockin around 8:30. This is going to be a special night for my Red Elephants, time to finish the drill boys. I just hope it comes down to hard fought play on the field and not some questionable call by an official. Don't know much about Ware County other than the fact that they are one of the 2 best teams in the state in 5A football and they play traditional South GA smashmouth football. Well all I can say is we will all find out how great Mr. Watson and the Gainesville offense is or we will find out how great the Ware County Defense is. This game will be decided late in the 4th, I'm going to say….
Gainesville 27
Ware Co. 21

Oh and I don't think any of these young men care about a couple of games that were played 40-50 years ago. Neither school has won it all, that will all change in a few days. One of these great teams will forever be remembered as the 1st Championship team for their school, the other will be left chasing their dream.

Lol @ beating Stephenson being an accomplishment…..thats what they do in the playoffs. Such a disappointing program playoff wise. I respect the program for what it does for the kids and their regular season success tho.

As they say, "defense wins championships." For Big Red to win their first title the offense will have to execute. It all comes down to the O-line. Eat your Wheaties, boys. Looking forward to a tough, clean, well-fought game and I wish everyone safe travels this weekend.

EL PASO - President Obama's new immigration plan is expected to impact about 800,000 immigrants.
But, there are possibly thousands more who are affected, but they won't be the ones getting work permits.
Some UTEP students are not feeling the relief the 800,000 other immigrants are.
Laura Espino has lived in the U.S. for the past 7 years, but she's not eligible for this plan. She moved here when she was 18. Under this new plan, she misses the cutoff by 2 years.
"I think its great for the people that are 16, but I think it's kind of unfair to the people who came here when they're18...like me," Espino said.
"I've been here for 7 years and I'm kind of used to living here. I want to be here and I've been a good person and an excellent student".
Here are the requirements for the plan:
Immigrants must be younger than 30
Must have moved to U.S. before the age of 16
Lived in the U.S. for 5 years straight
No criminal record
Must be a student, graduate or served in the military

Does Anyone Wash Their Running Shoes?
Shoes get dirty so I bought two pairs. One for "everyday" and one for events. Then on Friday, after looking at my 6-month-old-mud-laden shoes that had just grazed an ant pile, I asked a friend how she cleans her running shoes:
- washer
- detergent, with some pillows to absorb the clunking around
- dry them in the sun.
That sounds good to me. I'm thinking I might add some vinegar and fabric softener. And dry them in the sun.

text: Study of Medicare beneficiaries validates Medical Expenditure Panel Survey's prescription drug data Research Activities, June 2012, No. 382 Data on prescription drugs in AHRQ's Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is reasonably accurate compared with insurance claims data, at least for MEPS participants with Medicare Part D coverage for medications. That's the conclusion of a study by researchers at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). This study follows earlier ones that found that data from MEPS respondents on inpatient hospital stays were generally accurate, though reports of ambulatory services were underreported.In this study, Steven C. Hill, Ph.D., Samuel H. Zuvekas, Ph.D., and Marc W. Zodet, M.S., found that MEPS survey participants tended to underreport the number of different drugs taken, but overreport the number of times each drug was filled. Because the drug underreporting cut across most sociodemographic groups, they believe it does not affect our understanding of the behavioral determinants of medication use and expenditures.The researchers matched Medicare beneficiaries in the MEPS sample after Medicare Part D began (2006 and 2007) to Medicare administrative data. For each beneficiary, the researchers examined the number of distinct drugs, number of drug prescription fills, total expenditures, and third-party payments.More details are in "Implications of the accuracy of MEPS prescription drug data for health services research," by Dr. Hill, Dr. Zuvekas, and Mr. Zodet, in the Fall 2011 Inquiry 48(3), pp. 242-259.

SPOKANE, Wash.--City leaders are asking for help to redesign the entrances to Spokane. Leaders held a meeting Tuesday night at the WSU Phase 1 Classroom Building along Riverpoint Boulevard to receive feedback.
City leaders said they are working to implement the community's vision for the Division Street corridor through Downtown and the University District. They are calling the project the "Division Street Gateway."
The project limits include the Division/Browne Street and Division/Ruby Street couplets between I-90 and Sharp Avenue as well as east-west cross streets from I-90 to Sharp Avenue. Particular focus is being placed on the segment of Division between I-90 and 2nd Ave and on West Main Avenue between Browne and Pine.
Community feedback will contribute to the conceptual design of the corridor according to city leaders.
Many drivers choose to avoid the street even though it is the primary entrance to the city.
A proposed plan to fix these issues has several goals: to make the entrance more pleasing to look at with landscaping and better sidewalks, and to make the flow better so drivers aren't afraid to use the major road.
"One of the major things: it's really easy to get trapped in the wrong lane," said Jay Renkens, Director of Urban Planning Services at MIG. "So a lot of people realize it at the last second and try to merge over or go way out of their way."
Urban Planners said another portion of the plan is beefing up the look of areas such as West Main off Division. Planners recommended changing it to a two-way street and adding optional free space in the middle for businesses to use. Designers said they hope this will attract more economic possibilities.
"Ultimately what we're trying to do is stimulate economic development with a small strategic development in the streets to get as much private investment as possible.
The project could take anywhere from three to five years. The City said it will be seeking grants to fund the project which could costs millions.

The FBI has cracked open its file on Whitney Houston , revealing cases involving an obsessed fan and an alleged extortion plot. The 128-page document, now available on the FBI website , outlines federal investigations into threats made against Whitney between 1988 and 1999.
Among the documents are several pieces of fan mail. That includes a bundle of letters from an unnamed Vermont man who, in the late '80s, reached out to Whitney as well as her family and others in her inner circle. In a note addressed to an unnamed recipient, the writer expresses his deep feelings for Whitney. "When I first fell in love with Miss Whitney I tried to ignore what I felt towards her," he writes, adding that he started sending letters and even when he tried to stop, could not.
He describes handing over dozens of letters to Whitney's father, and explains that he's desperate to know whether she's received the notes. Perhaps most alarming is the man's admission that he's gotten "desperate and mad," and "it scares me that I might come up with some crazy or stupid or really dumb idea...." An FBI agent writes that one of the man's ideas included going on a national talk show and professing his love for Whitney, but for fear that it would hurt Whitney's reputation, he decided not to. He was not charged in the case.
As for the case involving possible extortion, the FBI files reveal that an attorney for an unidentified woman sent a letter to Whitney and her father, claiming that his client would expose "certain details" of Whitney's private life to the public unless the singer coughed up $100,000. That number was upped to $250,000 in another letter, in which the attorney said his client would sign a confidentiality agreement, promising not to reveal details of Whitney's "romantic relationships."
The FBI determined that the woman's request for money in exchange for keeping quiet was not criminal. In fact, the records show that Whitney explained that she had, in fact, confided in the woman, but that she wasn't sure what the woman might reveal. Other documents show that the woman eventually did sign a confidentiality agreement, but it's unclear how much she was paid.

Religious plays
Calderón's vision of the human world in his secular plays is one of confusion and discord arising out of the inevitable clash of values in the natural order. His religious plays round off his view of life by confronting natural values with supernatural ones. The most characteristic of these religious plays, following the tradition established outside Spain by the Jesuit drama, are based on stories of conversion and martyrdom, usually of the saints of the early church. One of the most beautiful is El príncipe constante (1629; The Constant Prince), which dramatizes the martyrdom of Prince Ferdinand of Portugal. El mágico prodigioso (1637; The Wonder-Working Magician) is a more complex religious play; Los dos amantes del cielo (The Two Lovers of Heaven) and El Joséf de las mujeres (c. 1640; The Joseph of Womankind) are the most subtle and difficult. The basic human experience upon which Calderón relies for rational support of religious faith is decay and death and the consequent incapacity of the world to fulfill its promise of happiness. This promise is centred in such natural values as beauty, love, wealth, and power that, although true values if pursued with prudence, cannot satisfy the mind's aspiration for truth or the heart's longing for happiness. Only the apprehension of an infinite Good can assuage the restlessness of men.
This religious philosophy is given its most moving expression, in terms of Christian dogma, in the autos sacramentales. Seventy-six of these allegorical plays, written for open-air performance on the Feast of Corpus Christi, are extant. In them Calderón brought the tradition of the medieval morality play to a high degree of artistic perfection. The range of his scriptural, patristic, and scholastic learning, together with the assurance of his structural technique and poetic diction, enable him to endow the abstract concepts of dogmatic and moral theology with convincing dramatic life. At their weakest the autos tend to depend for their effect upon the ingenuity of their allegories, but at their best they are imbued with profound moral and spiritual insight and with a poetic feeling varying from tenderness to forcefulness. La cena de Baltasar (c. 1630; Belshazzar's Feast) and El gran teatro del mundo (c. 1635; The Great Theatre of the World) are fine examples of the early style; the greater complexity of his middle period is represented by No hay más fortuna que Dios (c. 1652; There Is No Fortune but God) and Lo que va del hombre a Dios (165257; The Gulf Between Man and God). But his highest achievement in this type of drama is to be found among those autos of his old age that dramatize the dogmas of the Fall and the redemption, notably La viña del Señor (1674; The Lord's Vineyard), La nave del mercader (1674; The Merchant's Ship), El nuevo hospicio de pobres (1675; The New Hospital for the Poor), El día mayor de los días (1678; The Greatest Day of Days), and El pastor fido (1678; The Faithful Shepherd). Here is found Calderón's most moving expression of his compassionate understanding of human waywardness.
To have found a dramatic form that conveys the doctrines of the Christian faith gives Calderón a special place in literature. But his greatness is not confined to this; the depth and consistency of his thought, his supremely intelligent craftsmanship and artistic integrity, his psychological insight, and the rationality and humanity of his moral standards make him one of the major figures of world drama.

5 lies home insurance agents tell
Sometimes insurance agents tell you what they think you want to hear in order to sell a home insurance policy and secure a commission.
This post comes from Emmet Pierce at partner site Insure.com.
When misfortunes occur, homeowners who count on insurance to carry them through tough times sometimes get an unpleasant surprise: They don't have all of the policy protections they thought they had purchased from their agent.
Mike D'Arelli, executive director of the American Agents Alliance trade group, urges you to keep your wits while shopping for home insurance. The vast majority of agents are honest, but every profession has disreputable practitioners.
"Consumers are always well-served to have their antenna up and look for quality agents," he says. "We are not immune from bad actors by any means."
Be a wary insurance buyer
Sometimes insurance agents tell you what they think you want to hear in order to sell a home insurance policy and secure a commission. If something sounds too good to be true, examine it closely. The time to gain a sound understanding of your benefits is before buying the policy. Post continues after video.
Here are five statements that are warning signs your agent may not be telling you everything:
"Boy, have I got a deal for you." A common scam is for dishonest agents to offer unrealistically low home insurance prices, says Loretta Worters, spokeswoman for the Insurance Information Institute. Policies vary in price, "but not by huge amounts," she warns. If other insurers say they can protect your home for $800 a year and your agent claims he or she can do it for $200, "there is a problem," she warns. "Maybe they are not giving you all the coverage you need."
"Don't worry about the paperwork." Don't rely on verbal assurances. Read the policy itself. After a home-related accident, your insurer is entitled to hold you to the letter of your policy. Be sure it says what it's supposed to say.
"You can pay me in cash." Reputable home insurance agents normally don't deal in cash. If your agent asks for cash, there's a very good chance he or she is pocketing the money. Instead of going to the insurance company, the money may be going into the agent's own bank account. That leaves you without coverage.
"Don't worry about flood insurance." Flood insurance is available through the National Flood Insurance Program, but it typically can be purchased from the agent who sells you home insurance. Amy Bach, executive director of the United Policyholders consumer group, says some agents are uninformed or just plain lazy when it comes to helping clients buy flood insurance. They may say you don't need it just to discourage you from seeking an agent who is better informed.
"You don't need to check my license." Any reputable home insurance agent will be happy to share his or her credentials. Dave Althausen, spokesman for the California Department of Insurance, says you shouldn't be embarrassed about asking agents for proper identification. To make sure agents are who they say they are, check them out through your state department of insurance.

Tom Hanks: Pawn of Satan?
So says author in reference to 'Angels & Demons.' And the Donohue-Howard feud continues.
So says Mark Dice, author of The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction, of the movie star's role in the upcoming film version of Angels & Demons, based on Brown's book of the same title. A&D is a prequel to The Da Vinci Code.
Dice went on to say that "Brown's book, as well as the film, serves only as disinformation and a whitewash of the real Illuminati."
Dice is founder of something called The Resistance, which on its website calls itself "a conservative political and media watchdog and activist organization focused on preserving family values and upholding the Constitution of the United States."
Take Dice's words with a grain of salt. A loose cannon who also goes by the pseudonym "John Conner" (a la the Terminator saga), Dice has called the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. "an inside job" by the U.S. government. He has also demanded that demanded that Duke University change the school nickname of "Blue Devils" because it's "offensive to the Christian community." (No report on whether he has a problem with Wake Forest's "Demon Deacons" or Arizona State's "Sun Devils" or . . . Oh, nevermind.)
It's not the first attack on Angels & Demons. The Catholic League's William Donohue dissed the film, prompting director Ron Howard to respond last week. And now Donohue has responded to Howard's response:
"Ron Howard must be delusional if he thinks Vatican officials are going to like his propaganda - they denied him the right to film on their grounds," says Donohue. "Moreover, we know from a Canadian priest who hung out with Howard's crew last summer in Rome (dressed in civilian clothes) just how much they hate Catholicism. It's time to stop the lies and come clean."
Somehow, I don't think Howard is waiting in the batter's box to step up and take the next swing. But I also bet we haven't heard the last of this, either.
Because the whole Hollywood elite hates anything to do with christianity, the most logical target is the Catholic church. It is not suffering the decline seen in the fundamentalist and evangelical ranks. In addition, the Catholic church is seen by many as the focus of christianity in the international circles. Therefore, it is logical for Hollywood to attack. Thank our lord we have a pope that will take on these attacks. Let all christians from every faith and denomination unite and fight Hollywood at every corner.
tom hanks has always disrespected Christians and Jews in his movies. It's usually a line or two. I no longer watch his movies or anything that ron howard has his hands in.
easy to say about hanks? examples off of the top of my head... apollo 13 "it wasn't a miracle that we went to the moon, we just wanted to go" implying that it was man's doing not God's help. An older movie where he was an American pilot fighting for the British. When his love intrest asked him if he wanted to see the tomb of David, hank's said "no" and when she asked if he believed in God he said that if there was a God he had a lot of explaining to do. hank's sacriligous sign of the cross in a league of their own. That bachelor movie with the nun's head on a naked body, a movie with I believe Jackie Gleason where he slams the Catholic Church.......
just off the top of my head...
Tom Hanks...not a pawn, just an actor, if one remembers how films are made and marketed.
(Even the director and producer(s) have limited power, once the film is "delivered" to the distributor.
Now, I would be putting money on the exhibitors, distributors, those doing the marketing, publicity, promotions, arranging the roll- out tours, collecting the receipts.
For those, we should be readying the Rack and Iron Maiden(sadly, now retired).
The film itself is just so many digital (now) ones and zeros on a storage medium.
Lastly, Catholic family, don't even consider a boycott (more copy for the public relations/publicity mills to get even more butts into the seats and later, eyeballs on the DVD).
Blessed weekend to all.
It would be nice if the church cleaned up its own act before
placing blame for it's demise on Hollywood. When was the last time you saw the church dig deep in it's pocket and helped a family who's breadwinner had lost his/her job. I know first hand, even when you go to you family priest when you husband has died and you are left with six children under the age of 12 that their response is "what do you expect us to do"? however, they have no problem going arould with their hand out looking for non-taxable donations.
I'm very disappointed that people choose to only see what they want to see and are blinded by liberal media. Everyday Christians are helping the homeless, widows, the orphans, the welfare people. Open your heart to go see what christian churches do with their funding -- even overseas to help bring clean water and sanitary conditions to the poorest countries.
Tom Hanks is a gifted actor. His gift is being able to portray characters other than himself in movies.Folk, this is ACTING-not real life. Do any of you believe all the bad guys in old westerns were really bad guys in real life.I really have no idea what Tom Hank's personal views on religion are, but I fail to see what all the fuss is about here.
I personally have no interest in the absurd fictional story "The Da Vinci Code" and chose not to watch the movie. However, Tom Hanks has starred in a number of movies I've seen & enjoyed.There are many terrible problems in this world that are worth getting upset over. In my view, this is NOT one of them!!
Charlotte - FYI, the Catholic Church leads in caritable work around the world in one form or another, You, of course, apparently cannot admit it. We pay a great deal of taxes in this country for permanent or temporary programs to help those in need. I'm sure your friend was advised as to who to contact. The church cannot support families, only help in crisis periods and furnishing pertinent information. Be real.
"The church cannot support families, only help in crisis periods and furnishing pertinent information"
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
That's what one leader of the church once wrote, James 1:27.
So of course the church can, and the church has, and the church did. And, truth be told, some in the church still do. Those that don't... well, I guess they're impure and defiled before God.
The church does do charitable work around the world, that's true, but if those in its own community are falling by the wayside and have to go elsewhere, then there's really nothing other than rhetoric in the message being preached.
The church, of course, not being limited to the organization, but made up of all the people who attend. If people are starving or lost, and no one is around to reach out to them, then it's not really a church at all, not according to the New Testament. Even if there's a sign out front.
Those people that condemn Catholics and their parishes usually are the people that never help others. Some Catholic parishes are very poor, with members that give very little if anything. For the record, Catholics own about 350,000 hospitals, primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, orphanages, clinics, homes for the aged. Those people who complain don't care to know that Catholics have their limits. The people who complain about the Catholic Church are usually bigots who hate Catholics and the Catholic Church. Next time ask these bigots how much they have contributed to the poor. Usually it's nothing. How many of you have seen a hospital set up by atheists and disgruntled people who condemn Catholics and the Catholic Church? Where?
DUMBEST article EVER.
I've read Angels and Demons, and the trailor of the film looks like it'll be BIGGER and better than the Da Vinci Code. Having a film created by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks is a creative team, which the Vatican can't make a dent against. The amount of tourism the Vatican and greater Rome will receive from the interest this film,,,,every city should have such a problem. Actually any squawking of stupid old bloated Bill Donahue, will DOUBLE the box offce Angels and Demons.
My church--Catholic--does a lot to assist the poor and needy, so when attackers say the church just takes money, that individual does not know what he or she is talking about. Her and his church may be an exception, but every one I have ever attended has done a lot to give assistance that is needed. The Catholic Charities alone gives hundreds of thousands to those in need.
Charlotte, the Catholic church is the most charitable organization in history. This is not Catholic propaganda but also the view of many secularists and anti-Catholic's. There are of course bad people in the church and people who do bad things (Judas and Peter are a great example) but there are many other priests and organizations that do a great amount of charitable work. It is never fair to criticize a whole group or organizations by the sins of a few.
The war is between Heaven and Hell, satan and Christ.
Christ has His Church.
satan or Lucifer, has his church, Babylon.
each require Members.
Lucifer was angel in Grace, but fell, Revelations 9.
And then he gets tossed into the Abyss Revelations 20.
Then God lets Lucifer out for the last time but is immediately defeated again and tossed back into the abyss
Revelations 20.
The Church in Revelations sits on top the ruins of Babylon.
This is it's meaning: Hell will never prevail over the Church. But men joined to Babylon, don't get it. God is stronger, thus making Him Strongest.
Peace in Christ
What the people who are defending Tom Hanks don't see, is that his portrayals in this type movie, as well as they story itself, are undermining the Catholic church and our beliefs. These books by dan Brown have an agenda and it is not necessarily only entertainment. He is bent on trying to make the Catholic church lose credability. Sorry folks, this is wrong and is a form of anti Catholicism and bigotry.
Tom Hanks, a member of the liberal Hollywood/Broadway arts media elite, is only doing what he and others like him know what to do--put out films and plays that depict one side and one side only. And so long as this group exists expect a biased, ultra-liberal world view in theaters and playhouses. The bad guys will always be religious fanatics, corrupt businesses and corporations, conservative reactionaries, and the military industrial complex--the same groups that were recently singled out by the Department of Homeland Security.
Ever since the malicious "Da Vinci Code," I've vowed I will NEVER ever purchase, rent, or watch anything starring Tom Hanks, or directed/produced by Ron Howard. I have kept my vow and I will continue doing so.
As for those commentators here who intone ad nauseum that Hanks is just an actor, blah, blah, blah:
Well, actors still CHOOSE from among movie offers, and both Hanks & Howard have chosen, again & again, anti-Christian vehicles.
Hanks is an actor & Howard is a director. News flash! I'm a consumer, and with the little bit of power I exercise, I choose NOT to give my business to either of them -- not ever.
I'm struck by what Charlotte said, personally, because WE ARE the Church and I feel like we need to take care of each other like the earliest Christians in the New Testament did. If a fellow parishioner needs help, everyone in the parish who can help in any way possible (money, food, driving, errands, babysitting, cooking, cleaning, just being there for her as a sister or brother in Christ) SHOULD! What good is it to send a check to a foreign country if we ignore the person sitting next to us in church?
Before we judge movies, books, etc. I agree - let's get our own act together first. At the very least, we might have more credibility and leverage with those other issues when we challenge them.
No more going to see Hanks or Howards movies. With so much going on in the world all they got to do is bash the Catholic Church? Give me a break..These hollywood liberals give me such a headache. Don't spent any money for their movies and they'll just fade away.......

I'm writing to comment, not on the movie (I'll never see it and am sorry so many others will), but on this article's misleading subtitle. It makes one think Brown, not Dice, called Hanks a pawn of Satan. Just a typo, I suppose--though "So says author of The Illuminati" might not, on the other hand, draw as many readers. Better proofing clearly needing!
Reid, good catch on the subtitle. That WAS a typo. It's been fixed now for clarity. Thanks for pointing it out.
I, for one, am simply happy that religion overall is accelerating into irrelevance. That's it, nothing more, nothing less... I know you see it yourself. :)
HI Tom,
You are a great actor who is getting himself into the wrong roles...Please learn to respect Christ and his teachings...Christ suffered enough he was cruicified and you are crucifying HIM once again. Please Tom do not do roles that hurt others. I PRAY THAT YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE
what Jesus did for all of US I don't know what religion you
belong too? Have you seen people who SUFFER , have you seen the POOR and STARVING,have you seen the INJURED and the restless...You are up there because people ACCEPTED you and respected your work...WAKE UP TOM HANKS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE...DO NOT CRUCIFY JESUS CHRIST WITH YOUR WORK.
MARIA in Mumbai
Hi ,
Don't bring the church into the picture..We as individuals are commenting and please give respect and gain respect..Is Tom some kind of sweet/toffee...
it's just a movie...
chip... chip... chip...
While all the different christian denominations bicker about what one or the other does, we get to watch while the more united Godless chip at our rights to worship.
chip... chip... chip...
This is sad chip n Rita there is no conscience anymore this world is all about making money, money, money..People
will go to any extent say anything do anything as long as their will comes through even if it has to cause harm and hurt to someone else...
people have to stop looking to the pope like he is god!! and talking about the catholic church like it will save them! the pope will not save your soul! only jesus will! mary cannot help so dont pray to her! pray to GOD in the name of his son! stop the idolatry with mary and the pope!
Learn about the Illuminati who are trying to destroy the church:
They are real and if Christians don't stand up to them then we will soon know what persecution means here in the United States.
More here:
The Illuminati and the New World Order are one in the same and they are VERY REAL.
As the Documentary ENDGAME points out:
Christians need to be aware of this stuff.
Hi Ralph,
The Pope can never be God and the Pope has a duty to perform his place is special in GODS eyes dont bring him into the pic...This is not about the Pope.
hi Ralph,
The Pope is not the problem here...every country has a leader they look upto and respect,every organisation or company has a chairperson or a manager or a boss to report
too..The Pope is not God, but has a very special place that is respected..Please dont go off track.
All i want to know is he(Tom)a born again Christian /a believer in God and Jesus his son?
God bless!
Two things - the "anti-Catholic" comments by any of those actors only serves to flame the fires of passions stirring up controversy and driving people to the theatres to see what the fuss is all about. More $$$$$ for them because they did their PR job.
An inresponse to the person who says you can't go to a priest and get help. The church has societys and associations set up to help those people.. i.e Caritas, Catholic Charities, etc. The poor priests only get a small stipend to live on... perhaps the thing to do was ask where to get help. Our family was helped more times, than I can count on my fingers and toes when my father was laid off, on-strike, and died.
My mother was faithfully visited by a deacon every weekend when she was infirmed and he helped her get registered for meals on wheels.
I can't even begin to say how much the nuns helped, dishes, etc. when we needed them.
I don't give credit to anyone who disobeys the church .. i.e abortion rights, pre-marital sex, and then wants to leave an opinion of what the church should do. That's not how God's laws work.. he gives them and we obey them. We don't say the church should change because we don't agree with it.. it's a slippery slope to hell. God Bless and provide you with peace and guidance.
Today I visited a site on the inqueisition. I had to leave the site or hurl. Then yesturday I found out that the word Vatican means 'THE DIVINING SERPENT'. That sounds like devil worshipping to me. On top of that the Crest on the Vatican is a dragon. No lie, go see for your self. The Dragon isn't the only Pagan symbol used by the Roman Catholic Church, they are all over the place.
Revelation tells us that Satan will deceive all. All of you have been deceived. Dragon = Serpent = Satan. Everything the Catholic Church tells you is a lie. Do not follow Satan.
Go to the true God and run from Satan.
Jesus Christ is coming King and Judge. I pray all those who do not have faith in Jesus as the ONLY WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE will repent before it is too late. I pray for Tom Hanks to have saving faith in Jesus as well as all those involved in attacking the truth about Jesus and the Bible. I plead for mercy on their souls before standing at the judgment seat of Jesus.
Tom Hanks is a Greek Orthodox Christian.
I'm a Christian, and I read The Da Vinci Code,and Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors (I've read all of his books). It's just FICTION, so get over it. It's not real, it's just a theory.
Dan Brown is also a Christian, and just because he wrote a book that is "against" the Catholic Church doesn't mean he's not!
It's just like Harry Potter, I'm a HUGE fan of those books, and people think it's all about witchcraft and s--- like that. J.K. Rowling is also a Christian, and I've noticed some Christian messages in those books.
Besides, there are a lot of other books, movies and T.V. shows about that stuff and Chrisitans don't think THISE are "offensive."
"The church cannot support families, only help in crisis periods and furnishing pertinent information"
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
That's what one leader of the church once wrote, James 1:27.
So of course the church can, and the church has, and the church did. And, truth be told, some in the church still do. Those that don't... well, I guess they're impure and defiled before God.

heh i just say let them live their own lives worry about your own and you might get some where in life.
I like Tom Hanks.I think being an actor, He will act what the director wants him to be on a certain film,act what the story would like him to portray,so let's not judge him the way he acted on certain movies like in "Da Vinci Code",don't forget his other films like "Sleepless in Seatle" or "That thing you do", did you hear him say about the church on this films?,
While everyone is entitled to their opinion and priorities, I really get tired of people like Dice who spend their time and energy bickering over stuff like Hanks being a pawn of Satan. Honestly, they need to get out. Out of their bubbles where they somehow believe Christians are offended by the Blue Devils (We're not. At all.) and put themselves to better use digging wells for villages in Africa or building homes in South America. Perhaps even Dice doesn't truly believe what he squawks about, maybe he's just looking for attention. But regardless of who believes what, if there is petty bickering and pointing of fingers, then time is being wasted that could otherwise be spent on something worthwhile.
It amazes me how incredibly quick to judge and ignorant people are, especially when it comes to the entertainment world. It is a MOVIE, it is FICTION. It's no wonder Christians have such a bad rap in today's world. We've done nothing but bring it on ourselves. Jesus gave us two commands in the New Testament - Love God, and Love Other People. It's discussions like this that remind me that we do a really lousy job at both. If Hanks is indeed pushing an agenda against the Church (which I doubt, since he professes to being an Orthodox Christian), then we should be praying for him instead of bashing him on a discussion board. It's really disappointing.

Miami Heat forwards LeBron James and Chris Bosh and guard Dwyane Wade are discussing financial terms of new contracts among each other after agreeing to opt out of their deals, according to ESPN.com.
Bosh reportedly has not officially opted out but plans to join his two star teammates and become a free agent.
"Today we were notified of Chris' intentions to opt-out of his contract," team president Pat Riley said in a statement. "Chris is one of the most versatile and dynamic big men in this league, and he has been an instrumental key to our championship success over the last four seasons. We look forward to meeting with Chris and his agent in the coming days to discuss keeping him in Miami for many years to come."
The moves cut $55 million off the Heat's salary cap number for next season.
By opting out, the Big Three will be free to negotiate with other teams starting Tuesday, but their plan is to take less money to re-sign with Miami so Riley and the front office can add more talent to the roster and make another run at an NBA championship.
The trio joined forces in 2010 and signed identical contracts. This time, however, James will reportedly earn the highest salary among them.
In 11 NBA seasons, James, 29, has never been the highest-paid player on his team.
If James, Bosh and Wade sign maximum salary deals at $22 million each per season, the Heat would be in the luxury tax and would hamper the team's ability to spend money to get additional help.
Taking significant pay cuts would put the team below the salary cap and allow Riley and the front office to pursue free agents, perhaps star forward Carmelo Anthony. However, that option is not likely at this time.
They could also take a slight drop in pay, which would place the Heat below the luxury tax line and allow them to use the full mid-level exception of $5.3 million and the biannual exception of $2 million to bring in more than one role player.
Forward Udonis Haslem, who declined a $4.6 million player option for next season, also gives the team cap flexibility to sign a free agent.
Riley responded to Wade's and Haslem's intentions on Saturday, saying in a statement that the team hopes to retain them.
