The Spirit of Revival
from R.C. Sproul May 07, 2010 Category: ArticlesThe Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God by Jonathan Edwards is one of the great classics of revival literature. A key figure of the Great Awakening, Edwards wrote this important discourse in 1741 just after the revival had reached its peak. In 2000, R.C. Sproul wrote an Introduction to a version of this classic work that had been edited and modernized by Archie Parrish. This Introduction effectively compares Edwards's nineteenth century to our society and explains the importance of Edwards' treatise. Keep Reading

God Alone Tests the Hearts of Men
from Jonathan Edwards May 05, 2010 Category: Articles"There was a time when I did not imagine that the heart of man was so unsearchable as it is. I am less tolerant and less intolerant than once I was. I find more things in wicked men that may be counterfeit, even when they make a fair show of piety. I find more ways that the remaining corruption of the godly may make them appear like carnal men, formalists, and dead hypocrites than once I knew of. The longer I live, the less I wonder that God keeps it as His right to try the hearts of the children of men." Keep Reading

Making Molehills Out of Mountains
from R.C. Sproul May 05, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThe crisis regarding the doctrine of justification that provoked the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century has not yet been resolved. Thus, the Reformation is by no means over. The dispute over justification that split the church back then threatens to fracture contemporary, evangelical Christianity. At issue during the Reformation was the relationship of justification to sanctification. It was a question of the order of salvation. The difference is not a tempest in a teapot; it's one by which salvation itself is defined. Keep Reading
Set Apart to Live and Die
from Burk Parsons May 04, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineWhen Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die." Dietrich Bonhoeffer was about thirty years old when he penned these words in his classic work The Cost of Discipleship. Eight years later he was executed for his crimes against the Third Reich. The prison doctor who witnessed Bonhoeffer's execution wrote, "In the almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God." The doctor's words could not have been more appropriate to describe not only the manner in which Bonhoeffer submitted himself to God in death but also the manner in which he submitted himself to God in life. In his life and at his death, Bonhoeffer grasped one crucial truth: To be set apart to God is to be set apart to die, to die to sin, to self, and to life itself — to take up our crosses daily and to live unto Christ and embrace the true freedom that only comes when Christ calls a man to die and live abundantly in Him.

JS Hotels sponsors the Can Picafort Cycling Club
JS Hotels has actively sponsored the Can Picafort Cycling Club since 2005. The hotel chain's logo is included on the official team-kit and some of its workers are members of the club, which has 65 members and has been operating for eight years.
Its activities are focused on road cycling, with group outings on Sundays, varying the routes based on specific types of training. Members also participate in popular races such as "A Winter in Mallorca", "Es Pla", "Challenge de Tardor", "European Masters Championships", etc. JS Hotels interest in sponsoring sports, and in this case cycling, came about from this collaboration.
It is well known that cycling is one of the most popular sports in Mallorca, where there are more cyclists and more clubs, which may be due to the weather and the infinite number of cycling routes. Many professional teams choose the island of Mallorca for their pre-season training.
The number of participants in this sport increases year after year. For this reason, JS Hotels affirms its commitment to cycling in 2012 with the inauguration of the Cycling Centre in the JS AlcudiMar Hotel. The experience gained from the collaboration with the Can Picafort Cycling Club for so many years means the hotel has a first-hand understanding of the world of cycling and cyclists' requirements, which has led to the creation of the Cycling Centre at the JS AlcudiMar, with the most modern facilities and the best services to meet the needs of the most demanding cyclists.

An exceptional Charity Polo match with star players
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso invented in 1931 is the one and only truly polo watch in the world. Today the Reverso is seen on the wrists of star polo players, all Jaeger-LeCoultre ambassadors, among them are Eduardo Novillo Astrada, Lia Salvo and Clare Milford Haven. The unquestioned world capital of this sport is Argentina, which has more than 300 polo clubs, the oldest and most renowned being the Hurlingham Club. These fields have hosted all the great polo players in history: The Prince of Wales, Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor, Prince Phillip and Prince Charles have all played here, as did the maharajah of Jaipur and many others. It is on the grounds of Hurlingham Polo Club that this Monday, November 29th 2010, Jaeger-LeCoultre held a special charity polo match with star players. For every goal scored during the match, Jaeger-LeCoultre donated the funds to the Christian Family Polo Movement, an organization supporting the schools for children coming from low-income families in Greater Buenos Aires. Two teams of four players each, the White against the Black, competed on the field of Hurlingham Club. After each goal, the teams, watched by two referees on horseback and a third referee outside the field, changed sides as per polo rules. The White team included: Clare Milford Haven, Eduardo Novillo Astrada and his brothers – Alejandro and Ignacio Novillo Astrada. In the Black team were Lia Salvo, Gabriel Iglesias, Juan Carlos Harriet and Will Johnston. Spectators watched the game admiring the exceptional performance of world's polo elite and keeping a close eye on their horses in full gallop. The game of Polo, played at a very high speed, requires excellent riding skills and team spirit from the players. The polo ponies demonstrated great endurance and the ability to turn sharply, keep cool in the thick of the action, and balance. According to Eduardo Novillo Astrada, "the horse is the most incredible animal that exists and polo ponies are capable of doing practically anything we ask them to". The intense match resulted in the score of 7:8, with the White team gaining the victory over the Black. Jérome Lambert, CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre, congratulated the players and announced that as a result of the competition, the amount of 10,000 US dollars is donated by Jaeger-LeCoultre to the Christian Family Polo Movement.

I'm going to try my best to keep this short n sweet.
4* Lionhearted Zagar is good. That is all.
Long Version: I am temporarily done being butthurt over goldbox rng after ptcarding me one copy of sun god. I haz 0 pt cards again, such is life.
But anyways, I noticed that zagar gets its attack increased by how much hp it has and it stays. Snowballing gogo without being dependant on whether opponent permits it or not, its nice. If they too afraid to get into a manly fist fight with zagar, zagar slays the sissies. If they find the courage to get into a manly fist fight with zagar, zagar participates by punching back which is what's all the fist fights is about.
Also I had this funny idea of comboing messala with heavy folrart guardian but I neglected TGC Clause oh well.
And back to part about lionhearted zagar, the clause where he isn't allowed to standby can be problematic because there are times where its better to be conservative but meh, he gar, zagar can use the moment to reposition to better punch yo face in or dodge a possible SS.
If you itch and ache and long for attacking multipe times in a single round with lionhearted zagar, I don't blame you sir or madam. I recommend using that falkow girl which gives perm +2 agi on open against a field that's being a sissy and trying to gang up on zagar by himself which will rise his agility to 3 making it a excellent choice against some of gowen tribes or slower tribes.
If you desire so but lack sufficient motivation, here's replay showing what zagar's potential.
https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... f8ed827ea4
Can you imagine that he actually dared to summon such a terrible unit like blessed acolyte against me? I decided to show him the error of his ways by removing him via sun god's powahs. But he dares to summon him twice? He suffered til the end of the battle for his crimes against refess for using blessed acolyte. Sun god is not pleased. Horribad units like blessed acolytes will get smited off the field.
If you view this thread and don't care about zagar anyways but you have 3x copies of him so I hate u.
But if you view this thread and start playing zagar cuz of it and you have 3x copies of him so i hate you harder.
I hope you all enjoy reading.

Deputies say a man with four kilos of cocaine inside his vehicle was stopped for doing 116 miles per hour in a 70 mile per hour zone.
Pasquotank County Sheriff Randy Cartwright says the cocaine, along with marijuana and $68,000 in cash, were found in the Chevy Camaro after the traffic stop Wednesday morning.
Travis Rascoe of Hertford is facing numerous drug charges, including three counts of trafficking cocaine and speeding. State troopers and deputies originally stopped Rascoe for speeding around 10:00 a.m. on Highway 17 north.
The cocaine has a street value of more than $340,000.
The 34-year-old man was jailed on a $131,000 bond. Deputies say he bonded out of jail shortly after his arrest.

Jim of tooele, UT - May, 16 2012:
This generator is amazing for camping in tight areas like Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele Utah. The sun charges it all day, then when you are ready to rest, you just turn it on and it silently powers all your goodies. We run our tire warmers on it, a little fridge, radio, and in the morning, after running the heater all night, it still has plenty of power to run the coffee makers and oven. the best part, i am not bugging my campsite neighbors with a loud generator! totally glad i bought this! oh, i mean the BEST part is that i am not polluting the earth :)Pat of Milwaukee, WI - June, 12 2012:
Love it! I was a little unsure about this when I bought it, but it lived up to everything I hoped it would be. I have a larger tent trailer I needed to power but there was no way I was going to bring a loud and stinky generator with me camping. This has all the plugs and outlets I needed, it even runs USB 2.0 so I can charge my kids iPad. After 4 days of use (charging during the day) we never ran out of power. I don't have an AC unit on my trailer so that's not a big deal, but I don't think this yeti will run one. I might think about getting an extra solar panel to help it recharge faster. Still, I couldn't have asked for more!

UnderGround Forums >> Thank you Enson Inoue
Mega Colossus

Posts: 343
I was listening to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast . A little while ago and his guest was Enson Inoue. They were talking about tapping. Something Ensone never did.
Now I though if you are caught in something theirs no shame in tapping, you tap, you lose, you learn, you fight another day (I still think if your caught theirs no shame in tapping)
Not tapping, once you've properly been caught going to sleep or having your arm/leg broken just seem like macho bullshit to me but after listening to Ensone he (surprisingly change my mind)
I think this mind set gives you a massive advantage, it might get you broken bones put you out of training a lot longer with injurys but they'll heal, and I'm sure this stronger mind set will get me a lot more victories.
So I'm writing this now in public not to appear tough but as a way to help me change my mentally. Thanks Ensone just though listening to you, i've believe I've become a better fighter.

Lol jk, but cool? I mean I think if I was fighting to feed my family and myself, I'd wanna be able to fight for as long as I can and prolong my career by keeping myself safe from serious injury, thus allowing me to make maximum fundage$. I respect your decision wholeheartedly and will continue to cheer for you.

Id like to hear the podcast because i haver yet, but i would say that at that point you are leaving your career, and (even worse) possibly your life (a choke held too long) in the hands of someone else. By someone else, I mean a judge.

If Enson was aluding to the fact when you walk into the ring/cage/fighting arena with the mindset that you will tap to a sub-hold (back of your mind type of thing) then you are more likely to lose. If you walk in with the mindset that you will win and never give up, it is more likely you will be able to escape a tough hold (see: Jon Fitch).
In any case, Mega Colossus I agree with your mindset and encourage you to exercise your mind to never give in. Some peole call it "heart", I call it "a winning attitude". Of course proificiency in submission fighting is a reqiurement, and tapping in practice is not only a good idea but a necessity.

I like Enson and I watched that podcast and hes an interresting cat with alot of cool stories. I disagree with his mindset of not tapping and "willing to die in the ring" stuff he was talking about though. Thats not an intelligent aproach to the sport. Why not just admit you lost, tap and fight another day? Its a sport, not a fight to the death.

I agree with Enson. It sounds idiotic from a normal perspective, but fighting isn't about rational thought. Willpower and mental strength can be the difference between a win and a loss. Look at all the athletes that had amazing physical ability, but crumple mentally when things are going wrong. They allow the possibility of being injured to deter them from competing to thwir full ability. To quote Frank Herbert- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

The meaning of Yamato Damashii to Enson:
ENSON: A lot of people come up to me and say that they don't understand how I don't tap when I hear my arm popping and everything but….that's a whole another episode to me. You might think….any person or fighter that watches a fight might think that this guys has him in an armlock and he feels that his tendon is gonna break or his arm is going to break. Any normal person….there will be two options that come into their head.
Your whole life is about options. You're driving a car and a person jumps in front of you. You either hit the car or turn and hit the wall. You know what I mean? There's always an option. When you're getting your arm broke or when a fighter is in any critical type of situation in a fight, there's also options. The only reason why I move the way I do is because of the way I think. It's not because of what I chose in my options. The way I think will control the outcome of what my options will be.
For example, a normal fighter or any person on the street who had never fought before gets in an armlock. Two options will pop into their head because they live their life as a normal person. Fighters train hard, fighters experience fear…the point of falling down because they cannot train, the point of sparring when they think they might die. But a lot of fighters don't take it in the right way, don't take it and absorb. They become a regular person. So when they're in the fight and they're getting their arm locked and it's starting to pop, they'll think like a normal person. What a normal person's options probably will be, your arm is going to break or you're going to tap. There's two ways, there's only two things.
But for me, I've been raised the Yamato Damashii way, where you give everything you've got until the very end. The only time you know you couldn't do it is because you ran out of money; you couldn't do it because you're out of anymore options. Basically when I'm getting in an armbar and my arm is folded backwards – that's another story. But if I can't even hear my arm pop two options will come to my mind -- your arms going to break or get the fuck out of it. That's it.
Everyone says Enson = Yamato Damashii. Enson's so tough, so brave, a warrior. You know what I mean? I become a warrior not because of what I do in every situation as it comes, I become a warrior because of the way I live my life. The reason why those two options are different is because when I live my life, whether it's fighting or it's my arm breaking or working whenever I'm in the gym, or working on business somewhere else with another group – I'm giving all I got until the very end. I'll try to negotiate a business deal until I cannot do anymore. Until I absolutely cannot do anymore and then I'll quit. I don't think I'll quit, actually I'll just let the situation die. I will not ever quit in a situation. So the same thing, you know?
It pops into my head, get out or get your arm broke. I don't want my arm broke so I'm going to get out. As I'm getting out, I'm never going to know when my arm breaks. I don't ever want to wonder what would have happened if I didn't tap. If I could have gotten out, or if my opponent would have given up and moved to another hold. God only knows when my arm breaks. It's like when you go to sleep when you get choked. Only God knows when you go to sleep from a choke. Who am I to decide and play God and decide when my arm is going to break or I go unconscious? All these people come and pay millions of dollars to watch the fights. I get paid 6 figures to fight. I'm there to entertain, give 110%, and leave everything in the ring. That's all I do.
You're going to pay that much money to see me fight. A promoter is going to pay that much money, they're going to kiss my ass, they're going to bring 2 corner men, put us up in hotels, give us food money, put us on TV, and put us in magazines. All these people. People are going to come watch us and cry at some of our fights. There are a lot of people who cry when I walk to the ring. I mean, it's that big of thing. So you're going to play God and decide when to tap? There's a referee, ring doctors, and your cornermen. Trust them and concentrate on just putting it on the line.
I've never seen a fighter, except Renzo Gracie, where his arm broke and then realized he was beat. 99.9% of the fighters will give up before their arm breaks. 99% of the fighters will give up before they go to sleep. Why? Because they're anticipating the outcome, they're anticipating the fear. They're assuming that their arm is going to break and instead of doing that, why don't you assume that you're going to get out? The thinking is really different. It all depends on what your mind is focusing on. I'm focusing on finishing an opponent. If he hits me hard enough to wobble me, I'm focusing enough I hit him right back with the same kind of punch.

This guy gets me in an armlock and I can hear the ligaments pop, on hearing that I'm thinking -- That mother fucker! Before he breaks it, I'm going to hit him right back with a punch, just as bad. You know what I mean? It depends on what you're focusing on. If I'm focusing on the penalties of failure when my arm is going to break…I'm going to sleep and I don't know when I'm going to wake up – I'm going to tap because I'm going to be scared. But that's not what my fear is going to do. My fear is going to make me stronger. My fear is going to make me want to get out before he breaks my arm. My fear is going to give me adrenaline to punch, even if I am so tired.
I was brought up on a situation when I was a kid where this philosopher came and talked to me. I always went to sports psychology for racquetball. This guy told me this situation, which is an exact situation where your arm is going to break – if you're going to focus on the penalties of failure or the benefits to success. Benefits of success meaning, getting my arm out and stomping on his face or something. Penalties of failure, not tapping and having my arm broke. Which one you're going to focus on, is what you chose.
Say if I were to tell you, a 2 X 4 about a width, a foot long… say 20 yards long, a plank. And what I do with the plank is I put it on the mat, this soft mat right here. Enson is referring to the floor mat in his gym. The same kind of mat you can find probably in most MMA and BJJ schools. And put $1,000.00 on one end and tell you, you walk from one end to the other without touching the mat, a foot long, that's pretty long, you can keep the $1,000.00. What would you do? You're going to go shit and get the $1,000.00 and walk back and your done. Now what if I were to do this, the same $1,000.00, the same plank but I stretch it across to the other side of that building and say if you don't fall off, you can have the $1,000.00. What are you going to do? Your probably going to wobble or say fuck it, you know what I mean? It's the same plank, the same money, the same atmosphere, the same everything except what I'm doing with the situation is …. When you have the plank lying on the mat, the only thing in your mind is if you fall of the plank you're not going to get the $1,000.00, you're not going to lose nothing; you're not going to lose your life. Your mind starts focusing right there on when you get to the other side, what I am going to do with that $1,000.00. But when I put you in the different scenario and I control your fear, I control how you're going to think. All of the sudden, BAM, instead of the rewards of success what your focus is going to be on is….Shit, 7 stories up, shit, if I fall – I die. Right there, you're not even thinking of the $1,000.00. You're not even thinking of one way of how you're going to spend the $1,000.00 because you're so worried about falling.
I believe every fighter has that, whether it begins at the beginning of the fight or when he's getting arm locked. I believe every fighter has that in them where they have fear and at that point, where you're going to become a Yamadamashi fighter or you're not, is what you do with the fear and how you look at it. And what you focus your mind on. If you focus on the fear you're going to tap. No one is going to fight with all they have. But I've been living my life by giving 100% until the very end and focusing on what you're going to gain from it. And if you don't, then that's something you learn.
People think that I'm a crazy guy or a bad ass warrior. I threw down with Igor because I don't fear anything. When I threw down with Igor I feared it. I threw down with Igor because I knew that was a situation that I'd never be able to be in again. That fear of his…one punch can knock the shit out of me. You know what I mean? Like that Brazilian guy* he fought that he fell forward and his eyes rolled back after one punch. So one punch can do that to me. Can you imagine that fear, being in that range? I know that I'm hitting Igor so if I can hit him, he can hit me. And we're throwing down, one blow after another. Like walking into a danger zone – walking into a fire and trying to save some people in the fire and think straight. Yeah, so it's a misunderstanding that Yamatodamashi is not a machoism, not about being tough, it's not about no fear, no pain. It's about what you do with that fear and pain. How you live your whole life that will affect how you react in these situations.
*Francisco Bueno, Pride 8
IRONLIFE: For people who don't seem to understand. How does that transition into training? Cause sometimes you have to tap.
ENSON: OK, yeah. Training is a whole different thing. Training is not a life or death situation. Training, your there to learn your there to get better. I'll tap in training. I think tapping is good in training. If there is any situation that is even near an armbar or is bad enough, I'll tap. I won't risk injury in training.
Like I said, getting into the ring, fighting, it helps put your self into a life and death situation -- without really being in a life or death situation. But training isn't like that. Training is a different thing. You know I always emphasis to my students, all this discipline that I'm setting in you, all this thing I'm talking about, you pushing yourself is not only about fighting it's about your whole lifestyle. I don't want them to learn and go out and train hard and be a pussy in their work. Don't wanna go to work and they call in sick. You know what I mean? I'm trying to emphasis that. Training is a part of life, I believe. Tapping in training is very different than tapping in the ring.
It's like having a negotiation with your mother or your father and giving in on the negotiation, even if you think you're right, because it's your family and you don't want to get into a fight with your family. Same thing, you don't want to cause this funny aggression against this fellow member/fellow teammate. You don't wanna break your arm – same thing. Same thing that you don't wanna have a family argument. But if you're in a misunderstanding with another Yakuza group or you're in a misunderstanding with a promotion – that's a whole different thing. It's like fighting in a fight. Training is like having an argument with your family. But having an argument in a business negotiation is a different thing. That's like fighting, I think.

Saw the podcast as well.
It reminded me how tangled up I get in contemplating skills, streaks, records and belts.
All of those aspects of fighting are absolutely necessary in getting an objective glimpse at who's best at playing the game of MMA.
But really, the name of the game is fighting and win or lose, when the spirit of man is tapped into to test his greatest fears, emotions and will to not win or lose-to prove something to oneself emphasized over the want to prove something others; to build a legacy-it's THEN that we get to truly observe the the inner drive-possible within the core of all humanity-separating us from the rest of the animal kingdom that we can really admire the factor of mind over matter that seems intrinsic in our species.
Inoue is the embodiment of the spirit of mankind and on some level, you could absolutely make the argument that the will to leave it all in the ring-at least on a spiritual and mental level-often triumphs the will to train your ass off so you can AVOID the emotional and physical pain, anxiety and suffering that comes with simply walking into the ring or cage and fighting for no one but yourself, your spirit and for the sake of fighting itself.
I found it especially interesting to hear Enson talking about clinching with Igor out of fear and then overcoming his emotions, breaking apart and trading blows with pound for pound one of the heaviest hitters the sport has ever seen.
By truly "fighting" for himself he ended up fighting for the fans and possibly inspiring millions-that-regardless of the outcome, regardless of genetics, natural abilities and so on-that maybe, just maybe, anyone can embody the Spirit of the Samurai.
Because it's not in the muscles but rather-in essence-the immeasurable spirit of all human beings that can triumph matter itself with something deep down that is not of matter, but with enough force behind it, can alter the material world into something to be called nothing short of magical.
Not only a thank you to Enson, but a praise of his name, not because of any finite and surpassable status of legacy, but the infinite capabilities of the soul.
A true humanitarian to those in need of aid in his homeland and one of the baddest mother *er's to ever sling leather and trade blows with other trained killers fearlessly, or at the very least, unobstructed by the emotion of fear that's in all of us.
There will always be better fighters that undo legacy's of the fighters that came years before them, but the few fighters like Enson-and him especially-immortalized themselves by walking the plank in a way that a very, very few people are mentally capable of.
Even if that special something of psychological victory that Enson expressed through his style of fight is inherent in him and not in others, he cultivated it and took steps to exercise it in a way that was unnecessary; a way that put him in dangerous extremes physically and so in every way jaw dropping and inspirational. He's an embodiment of something everyone wants to believe is possible and his actions to prove so will most likely be etched into history in a way that dismantles the necessity to be known as the GREATEST; a label that will most likely be surpassed, buried and reestablished over and over again as new fighters accomplish feats of competitive victory better than those before them.
The spirit of fighters like Enson will ALWAYS remain relevant throughout time.
Mad, mad props!

UGCTT Combat Can Happen - Subbed for when you tap.
Hahaha that's why it's here
I hear your point 100% I listen to this interview about two wks ago and have been thinking about it all this time, think it not just a case of thinking right I not tapping make a post on a message board and your done. It's a lot of soul searching them lead me to this point.
That's why I said in thread personally decision, one I think will help me more than hurt me an I completely get why some might think its stupid and macho and not have any part in it, it very much along way from being macho.Anyone who gets caught and taps ( like I have done in the past) I see why.

I"m new to the forum here. I mix up CF and Conjugate training. Do you do the programming for Crossfit-Strength or just work with those guys?
If so, any guidelines you guys use to choose the volume of assitance work and length of metcons?
Also, do you take assistance work until failure or leave some reps in the tank?
Finally, I notice they change assistance work on every workout, do you think it is better to stick with the same assistance work for a few weeks then change or mix it up every day?
Their workouts do look good to me and from what I have seen a lot of the members are making significant progress. Here are the profiles for the Trainers:

I've been waiting for someone to smash these two together but I always thought it wouldn't be necessary since westside already had addressed how to condition. Why isn't it called "Westside Conditioning"? I find it peculiar that its called "Crossfit Strength". Its almost like crossfit is taking the credit for the strength portion of the program. If crossfit is so good at developing strength and size, why does it need westside?
I am finding Crossfit more and more pretentious everyday.
I am just being honest with my questions here.
Lol, relax...
CrossFit is bright enough to incorporate all types of fitness modalities. Strength training is one of them and again, they are bright enough to go to the best, Louie Simmons.
They call it CrossFit strength because they are CrossFit...
I really think a huge percentage of the population is mildly retarded...
Seriously...People would have been more bent out of shape if they HAD used the name Westside.

I guess when you create a brand so ambiguous by never explaining anything, it can take credit for everything.
I say this, and I use some of the WODs. I am really being a devil's advocate here.
My favorite is the powerlifting and Xfit WODs...interesting. At the gym I work at, there is a HUGE leader board/ PR board of WOD times etc....perhaps I'll take one as well.
And ha, makes sense that your fiance does xfit, no wonder she is one of the few gals who can deadlift.

If you took out the part about the cert I'd imagine that most people with journals on this forum do something that could be called Crossfit.
Almost everyone with a passing knowledge of CF seem to think that CF = programming for the main page. That's just not true.

People have been doing training like this for years. The only thing new about CrossFit is the name.

Exactly. I think people are just so quick to judge because it's growing in popularity.
I had a stint with a CrossFit style program back in 2007, but decided to switch to something else. If there is one thing that I enjoy most about CrossFit, is that it's getting people, especially women, lifting weights and keeping in shape. I'm sure I've said this many of times already, but working in a commercial gym, you get a lot of those concerns from women who don't want to bulk up because their perception of weight lifting has been geared to the body building types for decades.
I point them over to the 50 year old female CrossFit trainer who looks like she's in her 20s and beg to differ.

One positive that some seem to forget Crossfit has introduced others into strength sports. I personally was
Brought here through Crossfit. And have to agree with Chris the community at the crossfit gyms I have been is very evident.
The crossfit community is really awesome. Today we had a brutal workout and it really helps to have people there cheering you on and doing the workout with you at the same time to keep you moving and motivated. I definitely work a lot harder when I am at a crossfit gym than when I am not and I attribute most of that to the community aspect.
With powerlifting meets, you can get this too, but these people do it every day. Really inspiring. However, I do wish some of them would clean up their form.

I got involved in strength training/fitness probably, like many of us in high school to get big and strong. With the typical methods of the time bodybuilding, HIT and Dinosaur training, I got stronger than the average joe, but am definitely no monster. Things seemed to stagnate and my training hit a wall, on top of that life got in the way so I couldn't be as "hardcore" as I wanted.
After med school, I heard about CF, and looking at the website it seemed a little to chaotic, hodge podge to me. But after watching the main page for a while, I decided to give it a try because I knew deep down I couldn't do most of the workouts. Instead of a more traditional bodybuilding/strength approach. It refreshed my training, exposed my to Oly lifting, got me to do muscle ups, got me to do hand stand pushups, boosted my pullup ability and got me back into explosive training intstead of my older method of do heavy weights 2-3 times a week and condition 2-3 times a week.
Despite how many feel, everyone I've encountered in the CF community is open to new ideas and methods. They have some core concepts but their key goal is to improve performance. So they talk to Louie to figure out ways to get stronger. It makes sense to me. Yeah, they ain't perfect, but they've put together some great ideas and market it well. Through CF I was able to meet Chris Mason and Louie.
Now I train 80-90% Conjugate/Westside style and add in some metcon/conditioning CF style. Without CF, which led me in this direction, I don't think I would've gotten to where I am. What I do now isn't mainpage CF, but it uses what I've learned from it and a lot of boxes and individuals that do CF don't follow mainpage, but probaly do some basic strength work--maybe Westside, maybe Starting Strength, maybe Wendler 5/3/1 then some type of metcon 2-4 times a week and then some skills work and mobility work. CF didn't create this but it helped market/inspire it.
I guess the bad, is that it can come across dogmatic at times and all the odd movements can be intimidating for a novice or seem almost weird to someone used to working pecs and bis. Probably most frustrating might be some of its claims to be the best program. I think it uses core elements that help make it a great program, and using those key elements will lead to some training sucess.
Also, the lack of individualization can be problematic at times, but I think good boxes know to address this.
Sorry for the rant.
This woman is a competitive CrossFit athlete. She is not the only one of her ilk. Reason enough for anyone to want to CF in my book....
^ That is a pretty good reason to get involved in CF. And I agree with the reasons stated before, like the intro of Oly lifting to the general public, the revitalization of Oly lifting, etc, these are all good things.
But I think it speaks volumes that a lot of the gurus who helped start it have left on bad terms with the CF brass, like Rippetoe, etc. And some of their programming, especially on the main site, is just plain retarded (like, for example, anything that requires beginners/intermediates to do very high rep olympic lifts).
But that doesn't mean all of them don't know what they're doing. Some of the programming by these crossfit offshoots is solid. I did crossfit football for 3 months last year, and I think it's programming was about as good as can be for their stated goals. My one criticism, as always, was that it was hard to gauge progress if you wanted anything more than all around fitness. But, that was also serendipitous because it forced me to get off my lazy ass and read some books on periodization and programming, so thanks CF!
Rippetoe is someone they should have never used in my opinion. A clearly inferior strength training coach. Hmmm, who would I rather work with, Mark Rippetoe and his Starting Strength crap, or Louie Simmons and his 5 decades of incredible powerlifting performances, his gym's ownership of just about every record anyone cares about, and the fact that his methods influence essentially ALL forms of strength training practiced today.
Gee, tough decision...
I enjoyed reading Starting Strength and think Rip offers a solid beginner to itnermediate program. My understanding and this is only from internet lore, is that he has taken numerous novices/weak people and made them solid strength athletes. I know this isn't the same as Westside's ability to produce champion after champion, but it doesn't mean his program is completely useless.
I know Louie promotes his program when in a senses "scaled" can be used from the beginner to world champion. But, wonder if Starting Strength would be a good feeder program before going conjugate. The reason I think this is that Starting Strength gives you repeated exposure to the same lifts to master them and go up on them rapidly.
Whereas if you are rotating ME exercises in a Westside program you might be spending a lot of time intially learning all the lift variants. So, I'm thinking after you get good skill (not full mastery) in the core lifts that are promoted in Starting Strength you'd be ready for the ME lifts since you've had some time to refine technique.
Also, by doing the lifts in Starting Strength fashion you might be able to identify your weaknesses in a certain lift since you are doing them so frequently--if every time I squat I fail out of the hole, I'll be able to see a pattern sooner since I'm squatting twice a week. Whereas with the Westside System, it might be 4 weeks until you do a lift again, so maybe the first time you stalled in the hole and the next failed in a later portion of the lift and so the deficieny won't be as clear since you can't monitor it as frequently. Now in the long run, once you have more experience with either program you'll probably be able to identify your weaknesses, I'm must wondering if a starter program wheter it is Starting Strength, Wendler's 5/3/1 or even some modified Westside Program--say sticking with the main lifts for ME for a couple training cycles...might feed better before one jumps into a full blown Westside Program.
Now, what could trump all is having a good coach. So if you are a home gym poser like me, I don't get a lot of supervision outside of a video camera and my brother. If I had someone watching me with Westside XP, then maybe it would be a diffrent story.
What do you find to be the key weaknesses of Starting Strength?
Some guesses:
Doesn't work speed
Doesn't hit Max Effort work hard enough (5's instead of singles and triples)
Doesn't use accomodating resistance
Doesn't vary the lifts enough
Uses the main lifts themselves to work through weaknesses
No Box Squats
Has you squat looking down with thumbs on top and hands pinning bar instead of grabbing it
Maybe more importantly, what elements are key to both programs that result in sucess?
Lifting heavy weights and focusing on compound exercises
Being consistent in the gym
Some variance of the intensity--wheter a sub max ramp up as in Starting Strength or rotating exercises as Westside does?
I wish I had a pair of twin high schoolers with no training experienc and give them 6 months or a year on both programs.
With my understanding of both systems, in the long run Westside seems to be the way to go since it addresses different elements of strength, but my only concern is does it require more expertise from a starting perspective.
The thing with having a rank novice do westside style conjugate training is that you have to be there to coach them on everything, because they just don't know anything. So, it's great, if that's possible. Though I bet even Mason would change it a little and not rotate exercises every week but every three weeks (chime in on this, would you?)
The thing about starting strength is that it is very effective for novices (only), for a while, without so much coaching. It's simple and effective, even if not as effective as a conjugate approach. But if it's you, your bar, in your garage...
After starting strength, one could more easily move into a conjugate method system, with the experience under their belt (that hopefully they've purchased by now).
The thing I find interesting about any CrossFitter arguing against Westside for a beginner with the idea a coach needs to be around is that there is ALWAYS a coach around with CrossFit...
The above is not to say I really agree with the argument, but even if I did, it makes no sense based upon how CF boxes are run.

The Vapid Peyote is a two-door 1950s vintage luxury coupe featured in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.
DesignThe chassis mainly resembles a 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird but it has double taillights instead of single ones, giving the rear end a similar appearance to Cadillacs from the early '60s (1961, 1963). The headlights are loosely based from a 1966 or 1967 Pontiac GTO with bigger lights and somewhat altered headlight bezels to fit into the styling of the mid-1950s era; there are other vehicles with similar headlights but they still look closer to the Pontiac's.
The Peyote is available in coupe and convertible forms, as well as occasionally appearing with a continental kit (a rear-mounted spare tire), or tiger/zebra skin patterns on the seats and a pair of black fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. The badging on sides read "V10 supercharged", but the engine actually has eight cylinders. The Peyote in GTA Chinatown Wars is permanently depicted as a softtop coupe with a continental kit.
The performance of the Peyote is below average in comparison to other cars of similar size in the game, however it tops the top speed leaderboard for the "vintage" class in a multiplayer race. The vehicle suffers from an underpowered engine that is unable to provide both good acceleration and top speed 102 mph (164 kph).. Its long wheelbase and small tires also result in poor cornering and stability, often requiring the aid of the handbrake to make moderately sharp turns. At its top speed the Peyote handles badly but if turned just slightly it will not spin.
ABS is fitted, but instead of the brakes locking up, the car will still slide. Minor use when in motion is acceptable, but attempting to bring the car to a halt can be difficult. When braking downhill (such as exiting off-ramps), the driver learns to stand on the brakes for quite a distance before the desired stopping point.
- "Peyote" is the real-life common name of a North American breed of cactus famous for its powerful psychoactive properties. A badge emblazoned with an image of the peyote cactus is placed on side of the hardtop variant's rear pillars.
- Despite having two textures of its "V10 supercharged" badge for each side, the text is mistakenly mirrored on one side.
- If you look closely, there is a Rockstar Games emblem on the zebra seats of some Peyotes.
- Police radio chatter may occasionally refer the car as a "jalopy" in GTA IV.
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Peyote fetching $2,500.
- The default radio stations for the Peyote are:
- GTA IV: IF99 - International Funk & K109 The Studio.
- The Peyote's engine noise and horn seem to be similar to the Patriot's.
- Cloe Parker has a unique pink Peyote.
- This car is never locked when parked obviously because there are no side windows present just like the Feltzer and the Banshee.
- Some auto parts shops and Pay'n'Sprays have spare front bumpers for Peyote's laying outside leaning against walls
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- Commonly spawn in Downtown, Outlook, Hove Beach and South Slopes (Broker).
- Occasionally spawn in Firefly Island, Firefly Projects, Schottler, Beechwood City (Broker), East Island City, Willis (Dukes), Acter and Tudor (Alderney).
Grand Theft Auto V
- Seen parked near Michael's original safehouse.

- 6 Further Information
The aim of this series of documents is to introduce Joomla! to people who have not previously used it.
Joomla! is introduced using detailed 'hands-on' instructions about adding, altering and manipulating content. At the same time, general points about Joomla! are made which are intended to help people to learn more and do more. As the tasks require more background knowledge, so there are fewer hands-on instructions and more general pointers to the extensive documentation available for Joomla!
The series divides into four parts:-
- Hands-on a Joomla! site There is an initial section on how to get 'hands-on' a Joomla! site. This is followed by practical instructions about doing key tasks needed for adding, altering and manipulating content on an existing site.
- Setting up a Joomla! site: This shows how a Joomla! Web site can be designed and created using the core features that come with Joomla!
- Looking after a Joomla! site: This is a brief introduction to the day-to-day Adminstration of a Joomla! web Site.
- Doing more and learning more: The final part links into other documentation and is intended as a guide ahead for taking Joomla! beyond the basics.
Who is it written for?
The series aims at everyone who wants to use Joomla! at a number of levels. Its main focus is:-
- on people with limited computing experience
- there are sections which will be useful to experienced designers and developers.
At the start of each article there is an indication of who it is aimed at and, on occasions, about the pitfalls for the inexperienced or unwary.
Some more detail about the intended readership
Hands-on Content
Hands-on a Joomla! site
You must have the use of a Joomla! Web site to use 'hands-on' instructions. There are three possibilites:-
- Use a site that has already been set up. If you are going to be adding content to an existing site and do not have much computing experience this is a good option.
- Install a copy of Joomla! (with sample content) on your own computer. This is sometimes referred to as a 'localhost' installation.It has some example content, so you can start to explore a Joomla! site before you have created one for your own content. This is a good option if you have enough experience to install it.
- Use the Demo on the Joomla! site. Test drive Joomla! free for 30 days; there is a free Quickstart video. This will appeal to experienced developers.
Hands-on adding and altering Articles
Start here no matter what your previous experience. Articles are the building blocks of any Joomla! Web site and everyone needs to know the basics of how to edit and create them. And doing this helps you to understand the workings of a Joomla! site.
- How to edit an Article - aimed at helping everyone to use the editor and understand what articles look like and where they are stored.
- How to create a new Article - aimed at helping everyone to add a new article to a web site
More about editing and managing content
Aimed at helping everyone who wants to learn more about Articles, and managing them from the main Site.
Setting up a Joomla! site
These are hands-on documents to familiarise you with the background to setting up a new site. There is emphasis on thinking about the content and appearance before doing the mechanics of creating a site.
A new site
This is the mechanics of creating new content and appearance of a simple site, using core Joomla! facilities.
Looking after a Joomla! site
General administration
Take Joomla! beyond the basics
There is more to learn about Joomla. This part of the Manual is aimed at those with experience of web sites and CMS - with links to documentation about how to use extensions and do a ot more..

Years and years ago, when I was first married, someone gave me a cast iron skillet as a wedding gift. I'd never used one before. My mother never had one, so I didn't even know what to do with it. And, with my shiny brand new set of high end stainless steel pots and pans, my new slow cooker, pressure cooker and steamer, I never gave that big, ugly, heavy black skillet a second thought. In fact, when we moved into our first house a few years later, I stuck it in a box out in the garage and promptly forgot about it. Eight years later, we moved; and the box moved with us. As we unpacked, my mother-in-law, who was helping, pulled out the skillet and asked where I wanted her to put it. I told her that I'd never used it and that she could keep it if she wanted. Her eyes got all wide and she asked, incredulously, "You mean you've never used it?" "Nope," I replied. "Not even for frying bacon?" she queried. "No." was my response. "But, how do you cook eggs?", she persisted. (Oh boy! She was not going to let this drop!) "Teflon,", I answered. She shook her head sadly and put the skillet aside.
The next morning, I woke to the smell of bacon sizzling. When I stumbled into the kitchen, I was greeted by my mother-in-law's beaming face and a large platter of bacon and eggs. On the stove was my cast iron skillet, still glistening with the remnants of freshly rendered bacon grease. At first, I was kind of annoyed. I mean, how many times did I have to tell her that I did not like that skillet? But at the same time, that pile of food looked pretty enticing. I was intrigued.
While we ate, my mother-in-law sang the praises of cooking with cast iron. She shared how her own mother had used her skillet to feed her family almost daily. And how, as a young bride, she continued the tradition when gifted with her own cast iron skillet. She explained that the best things aren't always the ones that are shiny, pretty and new. I think I already knew that. I just needed to be reminded. She's a wise woman, that mother-in-law of mine.
After breakfast, she showed me how to clean and care for my skillet. She told me that the more I used it, the better it would become. That was sixteen years ago. Since then, I've used that skillet more times than I can count – and I've grown to truly love it. I can't imagine cooking without it. And to think I almost threw it away!
Over the years, I've discovered that a cast iron skillet is good for a lot more than frying bacon and eggs. Among other things, it's also great for frying and roasting chicken, searing meats, making pancakes and baking cornbread and cakes . It even makes a damn fine tarte tatin! So, when I found myself with an abundance of apples just begging to be baked into a pie, I thought, why not try it in the skillet. read more >>

Zanzibar government has banned religious forums and lectures from debating political issues, stressing that it will arrest leaders of any group doing so in order to maintain order and strengthen national unity.
The minister of State, Second Vice President's Office, Mohamed Aboud Mohamed said this yesterday during a meeting with religious leaders.
"The government will no longer tolerate such acts. We will not let religious groups use their sermons to debate political issues…they are encouraged to join the political platform instead of preaching politics behind religious curtains," said Mohamed to applause from the clerics.
The meeting was also attended by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Said Mwema.
He blamed the chaos in Zanzibar on a group of people who have been holding illegal assemblies behind religious curtain to debate politics without permission.
"Illegal assemblies are strictly prohibited. Any person conducting meetings or demonstrations without permit will be apprehended. We don't want to let people threaten the country's tranquility," he noted.
He said the government efforts in fighting poverty will hardly be achieved without peace.
According to the minister, Zanzibar is well known worldwide for having talented Muslim leaders (Sheikhs) who work collaboratively with people from all walks of life without threatening the country's peace.
He said the government will strengthen security at churches calling on Christians to be patient while the government finds permanent solution to the problem. He said police officers will conduct daily patrols at churches and other places within Zanzibar town.
A senior Muslim leader in Zanzibar, Sheikh Omar Jongo refuted the claims that Muslims in Zanzibar were involved in riots. He said, "On behalf of all Muslims I would like to make it clear that we didn't insistigate the chaos because Muslims cannot attack a grocery and drink beers publicly."
He said religious leaders have played a big role in strengthening peace in the Isles including formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU).
Meanwhile, Bishop Dr Magnus Mhiche of the Tanzania Assemblies of God said that sabotage against churches in Zanzibar started last year, but no legal action was taken against the culprits.
Bishop Michael Hafidh of the Anglican Church in Zanzibar said religious leaders from both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar are expected to meet today in Zanzibar to discuss the problems that led to the torching of the three churches and destruction of infrastructure.
The clerics have also requested the presence of Zanzibar President Dr Ali Mohamed Shein during their meeting.
On the other hand, the ruling party CCM issued a statement blaming the GNU especially the Ministry for Constitutional Affairs over irresponsibility in supervising its duties.
The statement which was signed by the party's Deputy Secretary General in Zanzibar, Vuai Ali Vuai said that riots in the Isles started four months back, but no action was taken to contain the situation.
"The Ministry for Constitutional Affairs is to blame for the chaos because members of the revival Islamic movement group (UAMSHO) were using the forums to lecture on Union matters, but no action was taken to prohibit them", said
He called on the responsible minister, Abubakar Khamis Bakari to resign following destruction of public properties and torching of churches.
Until yesterday afternoon the situation was calm and businesses continued as usual. Police were patrolling churches and filling stations while most of the roads which were blocked by rioters were free.

Cadmus Peverell
this wiki
- "Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death."
- —The Tale of the Three Brothers.[src]
Cadmus Peverell (fl. 1214) was the brother of Antioch and Ignotus Peverell. He was the initial owner, and perhaps creator, of the Resurrection Stone.
Was named pro in mini golf.
Early life
Sometime early in his life, Cadmus fell in love with a woman, and the two were engaged to be married. However, she died before this union could take place.[1]
Meeting with Death
According to The Tale of the Three Brothers, Cadmus was walking along a lonely, winding road one night with his two brothers. The trio reached a river too wide to cross under normal means, and conjured a bridge to cross it. At this, Death appeared before them, angry that they had so easily crossed a river that many usually die crossing. However, he pretended to be impressed, and offered each brother a gift. Cadmus, seeking to further humiliate Death, requested a stone that would have the power to bring the dead back to life, which Death provided for him.[1]
An alternative and more logical version of this story proposed by Albus Dumbledore is that Cadmus was merely a very skilled wizard who had created the Resurrection Stone himself.[2]
Using the Stone and death
However the Stone was created, Cadmus returned to his home with it and used it to revive his dead lover. However, he soon found she had not been truly revived; she appeared sad and cold, and he felt as if a veil still separated them. Driven mad with longing, Cadmus committed suicide so as to truly be reunited with his lost love.[1]
Cadmus apparently fostered an heir before his death, as the Gaunt family were direct descendants of Cadmus.
The Resurrection Stone would go on to be set into a ring, which would be passed down through the Gaunt family, and eventually be turned into a Horcrux by Tom Riddle, a distant descendant of Cadmus.[3]
Personality and traits
According to Beedle the Bard, Cadmus was arrogant, as when offered a gift by Death, he chose an object that he believed would further humiliate Death. He was also incredibly devoted to his fiancée even after she died, as he tried to use the Resurrection Stone to bring her back to life, and eventually killed himself to be with her.
Magical abilities and skills
- Transfiguration: Cadmus, along with his two brothers, was capable of creating a long and stable bridge out of thin air. This is Conjuration and is a very difficult branch of magic.
- Owner of the Resurrection Stone: Cadmus was the first owner of the Resurrection Stone which would later become one of the famous Deathly Hallows. Cadmus used the stone effectively but was over dependant of it, letting its powers bring about his own death.
- Magical manufacturer (possibly): It is uncertain if Cadmus actually obtained the Resurrection Stone from Death, although Albus Dumbledore believed it was more likely that Cadmus and his brothers created the three Hallows themselves. This theory is supported by how in The Tale of the Three Brothers, Cadmus knew to turn the stone thrice in hand for it to work despite Death never telling him how to use it.
Behind the scenes
- The Gaunt family claimed to be descended from both the Peverell family and the Slytherin family; it is probable that the two bloodlines intermarried in a later generation.
- The House of Gaunt are direct descendants of Cadmus Peverell, so it is certain that Cadmus had at least one child in his lifetime. It is not specified if the woman he intended to marry was the mother, or if Cadmus had fathered children from a previous or later relationship. However, as Albus Dumbledore believed that, in reality, the Deathly Hallows had not been gifts from Death but rather inventions of the Peverells themselves, it is also possible that the circumstances of Cadmus' death were embellished somewhat with the passing down of the legend.
- The name Cadmus might have been taken from the legendary ancient Greek Cadmus, founder of the city of Thebes.
- The chapter art from The Tales of Beedle the Bard shows that Cadmus committed suicide by drinking poison, whereas the scene from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 film shows that he hung himself. In the video game, he kills himself via a Killing Curse.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, Cadmus is grabbed by Death along with his brothers taking place in his home but what happened to the Resurrection Stone before Tom Riddle is unknown.
- In the famous tale, Cadmus had intended to marry a girl, but before the wedding, she died. This also occurred in the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, who was bitten on the foot by a poisonous snake. In the myth, Orpheus also attempts to bring back his bride from the dead, but sadly fails.

An Ohio woman seeking a protective order is attacked in court by the very man she's seeking the order against. The victim was pushed to the ground and punched several times. A bailiff rushed in and was able to stop her attacker with a taser. She suffered minor injuries.
Her ex-boyfriend was arrested on domestic violence and contempt of court charges.
A daring surfer who never shies away from huge wave, may have broken his own record. Garrett Mcnamara rode this wave off the coast of Portugal. Mcnamara's previous wave ride record was 90-feet. Official verification is still needed, but it looks like this wave was even bigger, possibly even 100 feet. That means, the record books may need a little updating.
Talk about an a-peeling ride! Take a look at this car that's been spotted driving around south Florida. The man behind this fruity creation worked one day a week for 2-years building his banana dream car. He says it meets all road safety requirements. The owner says he plans to take the car on a tour through North America, Europe and Asia.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Content Blocking
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the enforcement of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), which brought new levels of Internet censorship to libraries across the country. CIPA was signed into law in 2000 and found constitutional by the Supreme Court in 2003. The law is supposed to encourage public libraries and schools to filter child pornography and obscene or "harmful to minors" images from the library's Internet connection in exchange for continued federal funding.
UPDATE 2013-04-12: Apparently as a result of this blog post, social media attention, and questions from the Australian Greens to the Australian Federal Attorney General's Department, the block has been lifted. But there has not yet been any explanation of why these 1,200 sites were blocked in the first place.
EFF has long opposed Australia's Internet censorship schemes, warning that even the voluntary filtering that has been implemented by Australia's largest ISPs, Telstra and Optus, lacks transparency and accountability, and could lead to collateral damage—accidental censorship of websites that are not violating the law in any way. A dramatic example of such collateral damage appears to be occuring at the moment.
In a shocking move, Google has recently deleted AdBlock Plus from the Android Play Store. This is hugely disappointing because it demonstrates that Google is willing to censor software and abandon its support for open platforms as soon as there's an ad-related business reason for doing so.
Until now, the Internet and software development communities have relied on Google to be safely on their side when it comes to building open platforms, encouraging innovation, and giving users maximum choice about how their computers will function. But with today's news, that commitment to openness suddenly looks much, much weaker.
What happens when a country's government censors the entirety of its domestic web, with no oversight or transparency? It turns out that politicians aren't the only ones with an interest in repressing free expression — and given a lever of control, a black market of censors quickly emerges.
A group of investigators from Chinese magazine Caixin recently uncovered the activities of Beijing's "dark PR" agencies, who take money from private companies to bribe Internet censors to delete unfavourable commentary on Chinese forums and microblogging sites, using the infrastructure that the Chinese authorities have built for political censorship.
Censorship circumvention software is about to become very popular in Egypt. On Wednesday, the country's Prosecutor General, Abdel Maguid Mahmoud, ordered government ministries to enforce a ban on pornographic websites, based on a three-year old ruling by Egypt's administrative court, which declared that "freedom of expression and public rights should be restricted by maintaining the fundamentals of religion, morality and patriotism" and denounced pornographic content as "venomous and vile."
An anonymous government official claims that the order was a response to the ultraconservative Salafi "Pure Net" campaign, which staged a demonstration in front of the Cairo's High Court on Wednesday, calling for an enforcement of the ban on Internet pornography on the grounds that such sites "violate Egyptian customs and values."

Released earlier this year, Endgame: AIDS in Black America (PBS-DVD), produced and directed by Renata Stone for WGBH/FRONTLINE, is an important documentary for the subject alone, keeping up awareness of a medical crisis many choose not to think about, much less candidly discuss. Stone also is producer of The Age of AIDS 2006's award-winning FRONTLINE (PBS). Endgame brings sobering information. One bit of unwelcome news: Phill Wilson, head of the Black AIDS Institute, states at a World AIDS Day convention, "If Black America was a country unto itself, it would have the 16th worse epidemic in the world. Today in America, two-thirds of new cases of HIV among women will be Black… Seventy percent of the new HIV cases of youth will be Black."
These facts alone are compelling reason to know more about the health issue of HIV than simply because you don't want to catch it. Continue Reading →

WILSON, OK - The Wilson Police Department is looking for suspect they believe lit an officer's pick-up truck on fire out of retaliation.
It happened right in front of City Hall around 3:30 a.m. Thursday.
Just two weeks ago, a report states the same officer had the back window of his truck shot out.
Right now, no suspects have been listed. The department said this may be a case of someone who was arrested retaliating against the officer.
Police Chief Felix Hernandez said he plans to release more information on the crimes soon.
