Transgender hate crime victims mourned in Reno
Listen to the story
Fifty people recently gathered in Reno for a solemn ceremony to remember victims of transgender hate crimes across the globe. KUNR's Michelle Bliss reports the event offered healing and awareness for a group often misunderstood.
NOTE: Some of the language in this story is violent in nature as the subject matter involves hate crimes.
"We live in times more sensitive than ever to hatred-based violence, yet even now the deaths of those based on anti-transgender hatred or prejudice are largely ignored."
Reverend Neal Anderson with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Northern Nevada is referring to the 238 known transgender murder victims from just this past year. For many of the deceased, their final moments were marked by severe brutality:
"Mylene: age 42; bludgeoned to death with a hammer in France; July 24, this year."
"Duane: age 16. Cause of death: beaten, stabbed, shot, and run over by a car. Location: Jamaica. Date of death: July 22, 2013."
The voices you hear are volunteers with the Transgender Allies Group in Reno and the very last reader is a 14-year-old boy named Cade.
Despite Cade's youth, his mother Nicole Ott insisted that her teenage son participate. The issue hits quite close to home as Cade's 8-year-old sister C.C. is transgender.
"It's a big reality for our family that this is something that could happen to our child. And I think it's important for him, as the oldest brother, and just as a person, to understand what's going on in the world because I think that if you don't understand and if you're not aware of what's happening, you are not going to be someone who tries to effect change."
Cade's sister C.C. was born male, but from age three exhibited signs that she identified as a girl.
She refused to wear boys' clothing and had a lot of behavioral problems that all went away when C.C.'s parents finally understood and accepted that their child was transgender--that her gender identity did not match her assigned sex.
C.C. is now much happier living as a girl, but concerns about her safety persist.
"It's really...it's terrifying. All you know is that your child is going to be singled out and has more of a propensity to have horrible things happen to them just for being themselves and expressing who they are."
Listen to an extended interview with Nicole Ott.
Along with the danger of anti-transgender violence, the community also loses many to suicide.
A 2011 study by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force found that 41% of transgender people try to kill themselves, compared to less than 2% of the general population.
Dr. Tory Clark, a sexologist and instructor at the University of Nevada, Reno, says transgender people often feel alone because they're too afraid to come out or they've been abandoned by family and friends.
"When you shove someone into isolation like this, the despair, the depression, and the anxiety, all of that that follows--it's incredibly overwhelming. Just imagine yourself without being able to turn to anyone, being all by yourself."
Kimi Cole, a transgender woman from Minden who attended the ceremony, says the isolation is still debilitating for many, but there continues to be improvement as the word transgender becomes more commonplace.
"When I was growing up, I knew something was different. It never did feel quite right. However, the discussions were not prominently out there in the public. It's not like you had a few friends that you knew about that you could relate to; it was this thing that was so far removed from general society."
Listen to an extended interview with Kimi Cole.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance is a national event that began 15 years ago with a candlelight vigil in San Francisco to honor murder victim Rita Hester.

It only took Goldilocks a few tries before she found her "just right" meal. But if you are eating out and looking for the meal that satisfies your palate, purse and conscience, it may be a bit more difficult to find that perfect meal.
OK, you've done a great job greening up your own kitchen. You started a garden and grow veggies without pesticides. You shop the several local farmers' markets and even have a relationship with some of our Boone County sustainable-minded farms. You frequently enjoy a subscription to a local CSA, which brings you fresh goodies (often breads, eggs, coffee and meat, as well as veggies) each week from local farms and producers. You research the origins of pre-packaged foods you buy, in order to choose the healthiest and those that have the least impact on the planet. And, of course, you recycle and compost all you can each week, leaving only a small amount that ends up in our dwindling landfill space. You've learned that food comes with a price beyond the monetary cost and that it's worth the extra effort to eat healthy for you and for the earth.
Goldilocks, too, had to search to find that "just right" balance to satisfy herself.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Could it be the Theme Change?
Felicia | Jul 02, 2013 | Comments 3
Yesterday I noticed a significant increase in traffic after changing one of my blog's theme to Thesis. This particular blog used to be one of my money making blogs, but after several Google algorithm changes my income was reduced to a trickle.
Sunday night I converted the blog to Thesis and on Monday my traffic picked up. Is it a coincidence? Who knows, all I know is one picture is worth a thousand words:
If one picture is 1,000 words, two pictures must be 2,000 words:
Those pictures display my Statcounter summary of visits over the past 30 days. You can see that yesterday's visits and page views were the highest this site has seen in quite some time.
Additionally, yesterday's income was twice what it usually averages. I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping this is a trend and not a fluke. Considering that I've only written 3 posts for the blog this year, I'm pleased with the results. Who knows, if I start adding regular content, there might be hope for this blog.
By the way, the jump in traffic had nothing to do with Google. As you can see from the image below, Google doesn't like the blog:
Google stopped liking my blogs 2 or 3 algorithm changes ago.
Going forward, I'll continue converting my blogs to Thesis and maybe, just maybe as the income starts to improve, I'll be motivated to write more. Maybe making them more responsive is what I needed to breathe life into some of my old lifeless blogs.

Ive always been lead to believe that a theme change should not make a difference unless there is something wrong with the markup in your theme but I once saw a surge when I moved from a free theme with loads of footer links (advertising) to one that I bought with a clean footer.

Hi Felicia,
Just wondering how your stats are doing now? Is the new Thesis template helping, do you think? I have wondered about switching to that myself, and have fingers crossed for you that it really did make a difference!!
Have a great day!

Fred's Little Buddy
Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of VDJ from their website. Should be version 7.0.5 (b380). Support for the MC6000 is built in (native).
And yes, PC or Mac?

1st, welcome to the Mobile Beat forums. It's great to have you here. New members are our lifeblood of this forum.
There are specific tech support threads on the Virtual DJ website that already have a ton of info on the MC6000 config issues.
The only bummer about the MC 6000 is that it is so sophisticated and so flexible that the initial setup is not intuitive and requires careful reading of the owners manual. Here's the link: http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/action/search.html Good luck, and once again, welcome! -Z-

INS Vikrant (Sanskrit: विक्रान्त, for courageous) (formerly HMS Hercules) was a Majestic-class aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy.[1] She played a key role in enforcing the naval blockade on East Pakistan during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
India purchased INS Vikrant from the United Kingdom in 1957. Upon her completion in 1961, she was commissioned as the first aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy. After a distinguished service, she was decommissioned in January 1997. She was preserved as a museum ship in Cuffe Parade, Mumbai, until it was closed in 2012 due to safety concerns. At the end of January 2014, Vikrant was sold through an online auction to an Alang ship-breaker, and is now berthed off Bhavnagar undergoing preparations to be broken up. On May 5, 2014, the Supreme Court of India postponed the decision to scrap the Vikrant.[2]
Vikrant was ordered as the HMS Hercules by the Royal Navy. She was laid down on 12 November 1943 by Vickers-Armstrong on the River Tyne.[3] She was launched on 22 September 1945. However, with the end of World War II, her construction was suspended in May 1946 and she was laid up for possible future use.[4]
In January 1957 she was sold to India. She was towed to Belfast to complete her construction and for modifications by Harland and Wolff. A number of improvements to the original design were ordered by the Indian Navy, including an angled deck, steam catapults and a modified island.[5]
The Indian Navy considered buying her sister HMS Leviathan as well and commissioning her as INS Vikram. However, this never materialized due to budgetary concerns.
Vikrant was commissioned into the Indian Navy by then Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Vijayalakshmi Pandit on 4 March 1961 in Belfast. The name Vikrant was taken from Sanskrit vikrānta meaning "stepping beyond", i.e. "courageous" or "bold". Captain Pritam Singh was the first commanding officer of the carrier.[6]
The Vikrant's initial air wing consisted of British Hawker Sea Hawk fighter-bombers and a French Alize anti-submarine aircraft. On 18 May 1961, the first jet landed on her deck piloted by Lieutenant (later Admiral) Radhakrishna Hariram Tahiliani. She formally joined the Indian Navy's Fleet in Bombay on 3 November 1961, when she was received at Ballard Pier by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
During the Indo-Pakistan War of 1965, Pakistan reported that it had sunk the Vikrant.[7] However, at the time the ship was in dry dock undergoing modifications.
In June 1970, Vikrant was at the Naval Dockyard for repairs due to a crack in a water drum of one of the boilers powering her steam catapult. Unable to procure a replacement drum from the United Kingdom due to an embargo, Admiral Sardarilal Mathradas Nanda ordered the routing of steam from her forward machinery to the steam catapult to bypass the damaged boiler. This repair enabled her to launch both the Sea Hawks as well as the Breguet Alizé, although she lost some cruising power. In March 1971, she was put through trials to test the fix.[8] These modifications turned out to be valuable, enabling Vikrant to enter combat against East Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 despite the cracked boiler.[5][9]
Stationed off the Andaman & Nicobar Islands along with frigates, INS Brahmaputra and INS Beas, Vikrant redeployed towards Chittagong at the outbreak of hostilities.[10] Based on naval intelligence reports that the Pakistan Navy intended to break through the Indian Naval blockade using camouflaged merchant ships, the Sea Hawks struck shipping in the Chittagong and Cox's Bazar harbours, sinking or incapacitating most ships there. On the morning of 4 December 1971, Vikrant's eight Sea Hawk aircraft launched an air raid on Cox's Bazar from 60 nautical miles (110 km) offshore. On the evening of 4 December, the air group struck Chittagong Harbour. Later strikes targeted Khulna and Port of Mongla. A Press Trust of India report of 4 December read, "Chittagong harbour ablaze as ships and aircraft of the Eastern Naval Fleet bombed and rocketed. Not a single vessel can be put to sea from Chittagong." Air strikes continued until 10 December 1971 with not a single Sea Hawk lost.
The Pakistan Navy deployed the submarine Ghazi to specifically target and sink Vikrant. However, Ghazi sank off Visakhapatnam harbour, probably due to depth charge attacks by INS Rajput.[11] During the war, the crew of Vikrant earned two Mahavir Chakras and 12 Vir Chakras.[citation needed]
Air Arm[edit]
Vikrant had four squadrons on board :
- INAS 300 "White Tigers" - flying Sea Hawks.
- INAS 310 "Cobras" - flying Alizes.
- INAS 321 "Angels" - flying Alouettes.
- INAS 330 "Harpoons" - flying Sea Kings.
Subsequent service[edit]
Vikrant was given an extensive refit, including new engines and modernization between 1979 and 3 January 1982. Between December 1982 and February 1983 she was refitted again to enable her to operate BAe Sea Harriers which replaced the Sea Hawk. After the retirement of the Breguet Alizé from carrier service in 1989, she received a 'ski jump' for more efficient use of her Sea Harriers.
Vikrant was India's only carrier for over twenty years, but by the early 1990s she was effectively out of service because of her poor condition. Even following major overhauls she was rarely put to sea. She was formally decommissioned on 31 January 1997.
Museum ship[edit]
Following her decommissioning, Vikrant was marked for preservation as a museum ship in Mumbai, although a lack of funding has prevented progress on the ship's conversion for this role.[12][13] Similarly, speculation that the ship would be made into a training ship in 2006[14] came to nothing. From 2001, Vikrant was made open to the public by the Indian Navy for short periods, but as of April 2010, the Government of Maharashtra was unable to find an industrial partner to operate the museum on a permanent, long-term basis.[12]In 2012, the museum was closed after Vikrant was deemed unsafe.[15]
Vikrant was the only World War II-era British-built aircraft carrier to be preserved as a museum.[16]
Auction and scrapping[edit]
In August 2013, Vice-Admiral Shekhar Sinha, chief of the Western Naval Command, said the Ministry of Defence would scrap Vikrant as she had become "very difficult to maintain," and as no private bidders had offered to fund the museum's operations.[17] On 3 December 2013 the Indian government decided to auction the ship, due to maintenance difficulties.[18] The Bombay High Court dismissed a public-interest litigation filed by Kiran Paigankar, founder of the "Save Vikrant Committee," stating the vessel's dilapidated condition did not warrant her preservation, nor were the necessary funds or government support available.[19][20] At the end of January 2014, Vikrant was sold through an online auction to an Alang ship-breaker for Rs 60 crore[21] and is now berthed off Bhavnagar undergoing preparations to be broken up.[22] A Litigation is pending before Supreme Court of India challenging its sale to Ship Breakers.[23][24]

Because the region around New Orleans is composed of alluvial soil, there is no paving material close at hand. More than a hundred years ago the city offered a bounty to ships which would bring to the port rock ballast instead of sand. The first cobblestone pavement was laid on Gravier and Magazine Streets in 1817.

The Henderson County Sheriff's Office says they've arrested a rape suspect after failing to appear in court.
Deputies say they've arrested 26 year old Dustin Parham Tuesday after he failed to appear in Superior Court on April 22nd.
They say Parham was out on bond after being originally charged on May 6th, 2011 with three counts of first degree rape.
Officers tracked Parham through Henderson and Buncombe Counties and the Upstate before locating him at a home off Nash Road in the Dana community of Henderson County.
Deputies say Parham was arrested without incident and is being held in the Henderson County Detention Facility on a $100,000 secured bond.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office continues to be silent on specific reasons why its 3rd-in-command was fired Thursday.

Troubled history: Stanley Rous (centre), president of FIFA, shakes hands with Victorian Soccer Federation president Harry Dockerty during a visit to Australia in 1963.
"Where is WorkSafe Victoria in all of this? How can James Hird be at the helm of the club as the head coach when 4000-plus injections have been given to playing staff, none of which anybody can tell us what it was."- Former head of WADA John Fahey.
Back in the world game's fold

What: 50 years in FIFA's embrace
Where: Soccer fields throughout the nation
The legacy: A big step towards world acceptance of Australian soccer
This year is significant in Australian soccer because it marks the 50th anniversary of FIFA's decision to lift the ban on Australia's affiliation. The great and good of the sport are gathering at Crown Casino in Melbourne on Tuesday night to celebrate the occasion.
At the time of Australia's reaffiliation with the sport's world governing body the occasion drew little comment. And yet it came at a time of unprecedented upheaval in the game in Australia. Only the formation of the A-League in 2003 would match it for scope and effect.
Soccer was very much a minority sport in Australia in those days. And FIFA wasn't such a behemoth. But times were changing, with a greater emphasis on international competition, and Australia's re-entry into the FIFA ranks enabled it to play against international rivals. A decade later, in 1974, it won its way through to the finals of the World Cup.
Roy Hay is a historian who, with his co-writer Bill Murray, this week handed in the manuscript of A History of Football in Australia, their book that took 12 years of research and writing. Hay said the seeds of Australia's FIFA ban were sown during European clubs' tours of Australia in the 1950s. The tours were planned as money-making ventures, with the touring team pocketing the gate from attendances. They played against state teams and club teams as well as the Australian team.
At a time when most club matches were played before small crowds, these touring games attracted several thousand. In 1957 two teams toured: FK Austria and Ferencvaros of Hungary. The Austrian team played 11 games for nine wins and two losses; the losses were to Australia and Ferencvaros.
But FK Austria's tour proved costly. Not only did it lose money, reportedly £5000, it lost half of its team when Australian clubs recruited its best players over the next two years. They included Leo Baumgartner, the "Little Professor of Soccer", who was recruited by the Prague club in Sydney.
Baumgartner, like many recruits, stayed in Australia. He died last month after a lifetime of helping the game through coaching. Australian clubs recruited mainly from Austria, the Netherlands and Malta. In Melbourne, the Dutch club Ringwood Wilhelmina attracted several stars including Sjel (Mike) de Bruyckere, who played eight internationals for the Netherlands. Prague in Sydney won the NSW state league in 1961 and '63. Wilhelmina won the Victorian title in 1959.
The recruitment of its star players so alarmed FK Austria that it complained to FIFA. It was miffed not so much about the loss of players, but because the Australian clubs had not paid transfer fees. The Australian Soccer Football Association, the game's governing body at the time, claimed these players were migrants who had come to Australia for a better life. After settling in, they looked around for a football club. Some of them just happened to be skilful enough to play in the state leagues.
"The reality was that the players were being bought in as what we would now call marquee players," Hay said. "When their original clubs in Europe found out, they jacked up and went to FIFA and said, 'Look, we need to get transfer fees because we're losing our best players to Australia'. "The Australians made all sorts of claims to FIFA, none of which cut any ice. FIFA said, 'Well, you either pay the transfer fees according to regulations, or we'll suspend your membership.' And that's what happened."
Almost as soon as Australia was disaffiliated in 1960, Sir Stanley Rous, the new FIFA president, began paying visits to Australia to try to woo it back to the fold, but strictly under FIFA rules. Rous was a tall, patrician figure who had been secretary of the Football Association in England before becoming FIFA president. Under his leadership FIFA was working hard to assert its faltering control. Colombia was another country that had been disaffiliated, in its case after a Bogota club, the aptly named Millionaros, had led a breakaway. In Australia, Rous found an administrative mess.
It had begun in 1956 when the Hakoah club in Sydney had been so enraged when it was refused promotion to the state's top level that it broke away from the then governing body, the NSW Soccer Football Association. (Frank Lowy had become involved with Hakoah after emigrating from Hungary.) In subsequent years several clubs – not all of them associated with migrant communities – joined Hakoah's breakaway and formed the NSW Soccer Federation, to be affiliated with the Australian Soccer Federation.
This happened around Australia, with breakaway clubs forming state bodies that affiliated with the Australian Soccer Federation. The old body, the Australian Soccer Football Association, continued as a mainly amateur organisation, while the ASF was semi-professional. Some club games in the breakaway league attracted large crowds. Matches in Melbourne between clubs such as South Melbourne Hellas, Juventus (later Brunswick Juventus) and Jugoslavian United Soccer Team (later Footscray JUST) during the 1960s attracted crowds of 20,000. All players had jobs, but some were receiving handsome payments to play soccer. Rous, who in Victoria dealt mainly with the Victorian Soccer Federation president Harry Dockerty, reiterated that FIFA would deal with only one body.
The union of the two national bodies took place in 1962 at the instigation of the NSW Soccer Federation. The united body took the name of the Australian Soccer Federation, which had by then asserted itself over the original body. The NSW Soccer Federation body expected to have its nomination, the Sydney gynaecologist Henry Seamonds, installed as the inaugural president of the united national body. In a reflection of the game's interminable politics, however, the Victorian and Tasmanian federations ganged up to have their nomination, Theo Marmaras, installed. Marmaras, known as the "Oyster King", had barely shaken hands with his new constituents when the Victorians and Tasmanians relented in the face of NSW's rage and enabled Seamonds to be installed.
"The Oyster King was in charge for about 10 minutes!" Hay said. In 1962 Seamonds had a heart attack and died during the lunchtime recess of a meeting at Soccer House in Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. William Walkley, an executive at the petrol company Ampol, was named as his replacement. Under Walkley's tenure, tireless ASF committeeman Michael Weinstein was given the job of talking with FIFA about re-affiliation. One of the considerations was how much the Australian body should pay to compensate the European clubs for lost transfer fees. The negotiated figure was £18,500. Walkley sent Weinstein to FIFA headquarters in Zurich with a cheque.
"Whether Walkley paid it or underwrote it I'm not really sure, but the deal was finally settled," Hay said. FIFA welcomed Australia back into the fold by lifting its ban on June 1, 1963. Australia was able to seek qualification for the 1966 World Cup. It bungled its bid, losing 6-1 and 3-1 to North Korea after a preparation of playing local sides during a training camp in Cairns, but the process of becoming an international contender was under way.
Numbers up
4-year contract extension for Jurgen Klinsmann will see the former Germany star remain as US National coach until the 2018 World Cup. The 49-year-old had steered his team to top spot in CONCACAF qualifying, including an upset 4-3 win over Germany in a friendly in June.
1st baby due in 2014 for four-time formula one champion Sebastian Vettel and his long-time girlfriend Hanna.
6 losses for the New York Knicks when wearing their new orange alternate uniform. With players now beginning to joke about the jerseys being cursed - despite Friday's 90-86 loss to Boston, it should be noted the team is a much better 6-10 while wearing white or blue.
What they should do ...
... is be more authentic. The Central Coast Mariners have won everything in the A-League, and impressed in the Asia Cup. They also lose over $1million a year as a business and, like many AFL clubs, need a financial top-up from the sport's governing body. One of their problems might be identity. These Mariners don't lather themselves in blubber, deal in doubloons, ride clipper ships or pearl dive. They don't scrub a poop deck, kick starboard or astern, or hoist sails. Nor, for a coast, do they surf. And! there is very little Mariner quality about inflatable sauce bottles – unless they need buoyancy. Comparatively, the Melbourne Victory has worn a gold-plated shirt that glowed in the dark, possesses ambition to win the Asia Cup, and had Harry Kewell when he was cool. Those are traits of victory. In fact, what they should do is learn from the Victory. - LUKE MORRIS, Bendigo

Armadillo: Friday's six-pack
-- Washington scored 56 points in its Alamo Bowl game, and not only did they lose, they couldn't cover as 9-point underdogs. Baylor has the Heisman winner and a terrible defense. Game went over the total of 79 with 8:28 left in third quarter. Bears won 67-56.
-- Big win for Rutgers, beating Florida 85-83 in double OT- they've got some pretty good guards, should move up in Big East this season.
-- Georgia Tech lost at Fordham? Boston College didn't cover as home dog of 12 points against Harvard? The ACC is down, man......
-- Terrific game in Seattle, where Washington pulled away from Oregon State late, winning 95-80; Beavers want to run more this year, but thats the Huskies' game.
-- Vanderbilt loses at home to Cleveland State/Indiana State, then goes to Marquette and runs out to a 31-8 lead, wins by 17; go figure. College basketball in December has been bizarre the last couple years.
-- BYU's first game in the WCC was a disaster, as St Mary's hung 53 points on them in first half and beat the Cougars, 98-82.
Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Wrapping up the early bowls.........
Here are some thoughts I've had about the early bowl games, through the Alamo Bowl on Thursday night……..
14) Best Game—UL-Lafayette 32, San Diego State 30 (New Orleans Bowl)—Kid on ULL booted a 50-yard FG at the gun to win it, after Aztecs were penalized because one of their linemen spit on a Ragin' Cajun lineman, to try and get him to jump offside.
13) Best game, runnerup—Toledo 42, Air Force 41—Rockets scored TDs on plays of 41-49-33 yards, ran a kick back for a TD, had a defensive TD and won still only won by a point, in a game played outdoors. In the East. At night.
12) Worst effort—Arizona State lost 56-24 to Boise State in Las Vegas Bowl, giving up two defensive scores and having opening kick returned for a TD. You tell me Western Kentucky couldn't have done better?
11) Best QB whose dad played in major leagues—Ohio U QB Tyler Tettleton led Bobcats to their first-ever bowl win, 24-23 over Utah State in the Idaho Potato Bowl, leading a TD in the last minute to win it. Utah State lost despite running ball for 345 yards, which doesn't happen much.
10) Least passes thrown in a bowl so far--- Temple waxed Wyoming 37-15 in the New Mexico Bowl, despite completing only 8-12 passes, albeit for 169 yards (14.1 ypa, 21.1 ypc). Only team that might throw fewer than 12 passes rest of bowl season is Georgia Tech.
9) When its windy in Hawai'i, bet the under—Southern Miss 24, Nevada 17 never got anywhere near the total (64); neither team completed half its passes. Game was semi-interesting because it was close, but there were hardly any fans at the game and Southern Miss seem distracted having a lame duck coach.
8) Notre Dame has two bowl wins since 1994; they came in El Paso and Honolulu, yet TV types still treat them as an elite program. Why is this?
7) Most points scored in a bowl. Poor Chris Spielman, who was a great linebacker and is a terrific analyst, but he was not happy watching the defenses in this game. Baylor 67, Washington 56. Bears ran ball for 482 yards, with three different kids running for 100+ yards. I'm serious, Spielman sounded like he wanted to go down and hit someone. Hard.
6) Least points scored in a bowl so far—Marshall 20, FIU 10—Rare opportunity to bet against a Sun Belt team favored in a bowl. Marshall's freshman QB is pretty good, but Thundering Herd almost lost to a dreadful Memphis team- why were they even in a bowl?
5) Whats with coaches wearing sun visors? Missouri beat North Carolina 41-24 at a rainy Independence bowl in Shreveport; Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel wore a parka on a cold, wet night, but still wore the same sun visor he always wears, despite the game being played in the dark. In the rain. Parkas and sun visors don't go together. Tigers ran ball down Carolina's throat in this game-- 337 yards.
4) Most turnovers ever in an indoor game—Purdue 39, Western Michigan 32 in the Little Ceaser's Bowl. Has a team ever turned the ball over seven times in one game and won? Western turned it over seven times, Purdue four and teams still scored 71 points, with no defensive TDs. Broncos passed for 439 yards with a sophomore QB, so they should be good for a while.
3) Vindication bowl—NC State coach Tom O'Brien basically fired his starting QB Russell Wilson because he played minor league baseball instead of spring football. Wilson then transferred to Wisconsin and led the Badgers to a 10-2 record, while State struggled early in the season, putting heat on O'Brien, but the Wolfpack rallied late in the season, and junior QB Glennon justified his coach's faith in him by throwing for 264 yards in State's 31-24 Belk Bowl win over Louisville.
Side Note: I had zero idea who/what Belk was. Actually it is a leading retail department store located in the south, according to belk.com.
2) Teams who should've met in a better bowl: TCU 31, Louisiana Tech 24 (Poinsettia Bowl)—Curious to see how Horned Frogs do in Big X; think they would've dominated the Big East, albeit from very far away. This was a good game.
1) Texas 21, Cal 10— First time ever the Poinsettia Bowl was more fun to watch than the Holiday Bowl. How do the Texas freakin' Longhorns not have a decent QB on their roster? Manny Diaz' defense forced five turnovers and held Cal to 195 total yards, or else Mack Brown wouldn't be as happy as he is today.

The United States of Unflattering Stereotypes
How long does it take to travel to every state in the nation and mock it right to its face? About two minutes…
I think it's really cool that Paul Jury traveled 19,000 miles in the service of writing his book States of Confusion, but you've got to wonder if it was really necessary. If he was really interested in seeing how everybody in the country really lives, couldn't he have just gone to a Wal-Mart in a Hoveround?

Oregon Democrat in Trouble for Tiger Costume Photo and Drug Use (But Mostly Tiger Costume Photo)
If I had a nickel for every legislator who was brought down by a photo of him dressed up like a playful tiger, well… then I'd save a stitch with nine. Or something. Anyway, tiger costume, people!
A photo of Rep. David Wu wearing a tiger costume and other unusual revelations about his mental health are increasing pressure on the seven-term Oregon Democrat to step down…
Wu said this week that it was "unprofessional and inappropriate" to send pictures of himself wearing a tiger costume to staff members while he was in the middle of a heated campaign last year. He also acknowledged taking two tablets of a pain killer that were given to him by an unnamed campaign donor.
"This was the only time that this has ever happened," the congressman said in a statement of the pain killer episode. "I recognize that my action showed poor judgment at the time, and I sincerely regret having put my staff in a difficult position."
While I'm pretty sure that there's no law against dressing up as whatever jungle cat you like for whatever reason you like — this is Oregon, not Texas, after all — it's probably showing poor judgment to send pictures of dress-up time to staff members.
Can't really blame him for the pain killers thing, though. Have you tried them? They're grrrrrrrrrrreat!

The Onion: Last Remaining Politician Must Rebuild Entire Government Following Bloodiest Midterm Election in American History
The Onion reports on last night's carnage…
In the wake of what is being called the deadliest midterm election in the nation's history, Washington's sole surviving politician, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon's 4th Congressional District, emerged from the rubble of the Capitol building Wednesday to announce his intention to rebuild the fallen U.S. government.
The events of Tuesday night — which included live televised images of Sen. Harry Reid taking a gavel to the head of Sen. Mitch McConnell while Rep. Barney Frank repeatedly smashed the face of Undersecretary for Food Safety Elisabeth Hagen against a marble column — left most Americans believing their entire government had perished in the post-election bloodbath. But the miraculous survival of DeFazio points to a possible way forward…
"If anybody can hear me, my name is Peter DeFazio, and I'm a member of the U.S. Congress," he called out from a makeshift podium atop the ruins of the Lincoln Memorial.
I'm kind of shocked. It's not like The Onion to sugarcoat a story.
(By the way, you really need to read right down to the last line.)

Could the Next Governor of Oregon Be a Seven-Foot Pro-Choice Republican?
Oh, this old story again: The six foot eleven inch ex-NBA player with the Yale degree and the type 1 diabetes runs as the Republican candidate for governor in a state composed primarily of lumberjacks and lesbian hippies.
Ladies and gentlemen, the next governor of the great state of Oregon, Chris Dudley!
Dudley, 45, is an unusual political candidate. He played basketball at Yale, a university far better known for producing politicians than N.B.A. players, and did so while living with diabetes. And in N.B.A. history, no player who scored as little as Dudley — he averaged 3.9 points per game and was famous for his inept free-throw shooting — has managed to linger longer than his 886 games, which included four seasons with the Nets and three with the Knicks.
Is this gubernatorial playa not quirky enough for you? Well, feature this: Chris Dudley is a Republican who supports civil unions and legal abortion. In this way he is maybe a non-crazy, non-Teabaggy, non-embarrassing Republican candidate! Who knew they even MADE those anymore?!
Um, also? The Future First Lady of The Land of Beavers shares her husband's first and last name. Chris Dudley is married to Chris Dudley. So there is that.
A million votes for Chris Dudley, the other Chris Dudley, and their adorable giant children, now.

Oregon Teabaggers Stealin' Slogans for the Lulz
Most political groups would probably shy away from anything that might incite the ire of pitiless, amoral, amorphous online entities like Anonymous and 4chan.
But, then again, most political groups would probably also shy away from naming themselves after sex acts that involve the dipping of one's testicles into the mouthal orifice of one's sexual partner.
I suppose that a certain fearlessness in inherent in not having any fucking idea about fucking anything.

B&W Y-12 confirms security management changes; Gen. Johnson named deputy GM for security
B&W Y-12, the government's managing contractor at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant, today confirmed that Gen. Rod Johnson (pictured, left) has been named the plant's deputy general manager in charge of security.
Johnson, deputy general manager at the Pantex warhead assembly plant in Texas, which also is managed by B&W, was assigned to B&W Y-12 "in response to the security event that occurred July 28," this morning's statement to plant employees said.
The statement was referencing the unprecedented break-in by anti-war protesters, who reached the plant's inner secuity core during a middle-of-the-night protest.
"Rod is responsible to lead and direct the recovery necessary to re-establish the security posture," the B&W statement said. "In this capacity, he will report to Darrel Kohlhorst, B&W Y-12 president and general manager."
Meanwhile, Tom Hayden was named acting director of Safeguards, Security and Emergency Services. He will report to Johnson.
The contractor said Hayden would be replacing Butch Clements, the former vice president for safeguards and security and emergency services, who the company said is retiring.
Hayden will not hold the VP title, however, and he will report directly to Johnson. He previously was deputy director for safeguards and security and emergency services.
Meanwhile, a security "stand-down" remains in effect at Y-12. All nuclear operations were shut down following the break-in to focus all attention on security-related issues.
Thousands of employees at Y-12 have undergone refresher courses on security education in recent days, and that activity is reportedly close to completion.
There is no word on when nuclear operations at Y-12 will resume.

Are You Prepared For the Next Solar Flare? - 3
by Tim MacWelch
The sun coughed up a significant and fiery blast last week. The Class "M" solar flare erupted Tuesday, June 7, and NASA says it will give our planet just a "glancing blow." The National Weather Service is expecting only minor disruptions to satellites and power grids.
NASA officials say that big flares like this are likely to be common during the next few years, with solar activity expected to peak around 2013. Most solar flares will only cause minor problems, but there's always a chance that a huge Class "X" flare could hit us.
The largest flare on record to hit Earth occurred in 1859. It created auroras worldwide and interrupted telegraph service for weeks. Considering today's technology-dependent societies, a major solar storm could plunge the modern world into some serious trouble.
What Exactly Are You Preparing For?
There are many types of energy and particles that make up a solar flare. There are x-rays and other types of energy that are relatively harmless, once filtered out by Earth's magnetosphere and atmosphere. But there are also high-energy particles associated with flares, which can achieve energies in the order of hundreds of millions of electron volts. This is enough power to fry communication satellites outside the protective fields and overload our electrical grids on the Earth's surface, shutting them down for an unpredictable length of time.
For most of us, the roasting of some satellites could mean no GPS, no satellite TV, no radio and disrupted communications for anything that relies on satellites as part of its network.
But the power grid shutting down is even more serious. There are literally millions of miles of high-voltage power lines in the world, with millions of miles of supply lines going to homes and outlying areas. Think of these as a large antenna system which could pick up the energy being transmitted to it. If the electrical grid goes down, all modern activities will come to a halt, just so you know.
Now that we've identified the problem, our next task in preparedness is to have various plans to take care of you and yours in the event that both power and communications go down. The good news (if you can call it that) is that a flare shouldn't catch us by total surprise. There would be time for a warning and a gap between actually getting hit and the loss of all communications. Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field would shield the surface from the direct energy of a solar flare, and terrestrial communication such as cell-phone networks (2G, 3G and 4G), TV and radio broadcasting and Wi-Fi are not as sensitive to solar energy and may keep running for a while. But the bad news is that if the power grid goes down for an extended period, the back-up systems for the wireless networks and cell-phone towers would, at some point, go down too.
And How Exactly Do You Prepare For That?
Make communication plans, with back-ups in place
Make your home less reliant on electricity

Arrive by 6 p.m., or you may be turned away. The event kicks off on Sunday, December 8, at 12:30 p.m. with a parade that proceeds from the Armory, along Main Street, up Mason Street to Christmas Village. For more information about Christmas Village, call the Torrington Parks and Recreation Department at 860-489-2274.
My four-year-old daughter and I visited Christmas Village for the first time in December of 2006, and we really didn't know what to expect. Luckily, some folks in the know told us that the wait would be long, but they assured us it would be worth it. They were right on both counts.
Hopefully, these pictures will inspire you to visit Christmas Village this year. I have plenty of tips to share in the photo captions, so you'll be more prepared than I was.

What We Believe But Cannot Prove (2006)
What We Believe But Cannot Prove: Today's Leading Thinkers on Science in the Age of Certainty, edited by John Brockman: 107 scientists and sometimes glancingly related individuals (Ian McEwan, for instance) answer the question 'what do you believe to be true even though you cannot prove it?' Some of them take a rigorous view of proof, in which case anything we believe to be true falls under this rubric. Others stick with non-falsifiable but plausible speculation about the past or the future, or about the infinity of the cosmos. But the elephant in the room is that by this evidence not a single one of the 107 believes (or is prepared to admit in public they believe) in God. Statistically that looks improbable, and since 'God' is the answer the question is evidently angling for it unbalances the whole.
Also, I see to have a red-colour copy, when all the copies I can find online seem to be blue, like this, this or this. Not sure what the significance of that might be, although the red cover has the hen shitting out 'Guardian', which must please that paper, where the blue cover has it shitting out 'proof', more intriguingly. Since 'proof', rather than 'belief', is the vulnerable term in that title.

What I believe, but cannot prove, is that the blue edition is the Free Press hardcover edition, and the red is the Pocket books paperback. But your guess is as good as mine

The government now says anti-depressants increase the risk of suicide not just for children, but young adults too.
The FDA announced plans to extend so-called "Black Box" warnings on
anti-depressants beyond pediatric patients up to age 25.
A new analysis shows the drugs double the risk of suicidal behavior for that age group.
The FDA stressed that patients of all ages should continue to be carefully monitored for signs of suicidal tendencies when they are beginning treatment on the drugs.

The Jungman Sisters, Part I
Zita and Teresa Jungman, photographed by Cecil Beaton, 1926.
By Hugo Vickers
The Jungman sisters were virtually unique. They were iconic figures of the 1920s, and will forever be associated with the 'Bright Young People', whose antics caused such controversy in society in London in the 1920s, just as the Sitwells are identified with the intelligentsia of the period. Sacheverell Sitwell loved Zita, and Evelyn Waugh tried to marry Teresa. The sisters belonged to a world that is already consigned to the pages of literary and social history.
Equally fascinating is the fact that from 1930 onwards they attracted no publicity whatever. They never gave interviews, they rarely helped biographers, and yet they made one brief but extraordinarily memorable appearance on British television. For most of their lives they lived together in perfect harmony in a succession of cottages in England and latterly in Ireland. They both lived to be 102.
died in 2006 and
died last week, on 11 June, a month short of her 103rd birthday. Teresa (often nicknamed 'Baby' to her intense dislike) was the last survivor from
Cecil Beaton's
Book of Beauty,
published in 1930.
In 1926 Cecil Beaton photographed them lying head to head on a floor covered in cellophane. With his customary mixture of perception and naughtiness, he wrote:
Teresa Jungman in her 20s.
Zita Jungman at 25.
The Jungman sisters are a pair of decadent 18th-century angels made of wax, exhibited at Madame Tussaud's before the fire. Baby is particularly waxy, and like a white gloxinia, with her Devonshire cream pallor and limpid mauve eyes. She has a waxen buttony nose and buttony lips, and her hair, spun of the flimsiest canary-bird silkiness, has a habit of falling lankly over her eyes, whence it is thrown back with a beguiling shrug of the head. Zita has the same smooth polished complexion and shoulders, and unearthly hollow voice, but she has a serpent-like little nose and there is great architectural strength and firmness about her jaw and mouth.
With her smooth fringes and rather flat head, like a silky coconut, like a medieval page, and with her swinging gait, she looks very gallant, very princely. But she can, if she wishes, easily become a snake-like beauty, with a mysterious smile and a cold glint in her upward slanting eyes, though it is more than likely that she will impersonate to perfection a charming village maiden laughing deliciously up an apple tree. Osbert Sitwell says of her classical, transparent beauty that it takes the spectator back to the realms painted on walls and ceilings of Venetian palaces, where gods and shepherdesses are depicted on clouds.
The Jungman sisters were daughters of Nico Jungman,
an Anglo-Dutch artist. In 1900 he married
Beatrice Mackay,
scion of a devout Catholic family in Birmingham. Zita was born on 13 September 1903. and Teresa on 9 July 1907. Nico Jungman painted pictures of Norway and Holland. During the First World War he was imprisoned and held in custody in the judge's box at a race course. His wife left him and they were divorced in 1918. He died in 1935.
Beatrice brought her daughters up as strict Catholics, which they remained all their lives. She married secondly, as his third wife,
Richard Guinness,
and was later killed in a bombing raid in the Second World War. 'Gloomy Beatrice', as she was called, in certain sections of society, became part of that extended clan of Guinnesses which produced so many luminary society figures in the early years of the 20th century.
These Guinnesses were but distantly related to the brewing family of
and descended from Richard Guinness, a barrister in Dublin, born in 1755. Although not Guinnesses by blood, Zita and Teresa claimed as cousins the millionaire
Loel Guinness
(husband of
Mrs Alvaro Guevaro
) and
Tanis Guinness,
the latter described by Cecil Beaton as 'fat and lovely ... like a solid Greuze', with 'gigantic eyes with shiny long lids.' They were also close friends, and close in age to the three nieces of Lord Iveagh:
Lady Oranmore and Browne
), and
archioness of Dufferin and Ava
), whom director
John Huston
described as 'witches, lovely ones to be sure ... transparent-skinned with pale hair and light blue eyes.'
When she became a Guinness, 'Gloomy Beatrice' lived with her family in some splendour in Great Cumberland Place. The girls went to day school in Queen's Gate with
Lady Eleanor Smith,
who would later be a collaborator in their high jinks in the 1920s.

It was said that from the moment the Jungman sisters escaped the nursery, they were determined to enjoy life. Their joie de vivre found an outlet in treasure hunts, the first one taking place in 1923. This was a game devised by the sisters, originally involving eight girls. They pursued designated 'trophies' all over London, four couples competing. While the youngsters thought that they were simply having fun, the older generation was shocked to the core.
One prank involved persuading
Lord Beaverbrook
to print a mock version of the
Evening Standard
with fake headlines and concealed clues. Eventually, treasure hunts became too popular, with Rolls-Royces jostling one another in small mewses and competitors fighting for the clues. They stopped them, though
Elsa Maxwell
later took up a version of them with some success.
One night Zita and Lady Eleanor Smith hid in the Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussaud's for a bet, to see if they could get through the night. They moved the waxworks of the Princes in the Tower from their bed in order to sleep there. They were considerably relieved when a night watchman found them and they could end their vigil.
The sisters kept diaries. Zita's were filled with references to 'screaming' with laughter. In later life, she commented: 'We were all so over-excited. We were all talking about ourselves always.'
Teresa's mother liked to entertain, and she mixed actresses with society people, which was unusual at the time. She could be stern, and once obliged an embarrassed Teresa to attempt a solo Charleston in the presence of a male admirer. Despite this,
Loelia Ponsonby
Duchess of Westminster
) thought Teresa and Zita 'gloriously emancipated'.

At a party given by their mother in 1926,
Cecil Beaton recalled tables groaning with caviar, oysters, paté, turkeys, kidneys and bacon, hot lobsters and meringues; the guests included
Ivor Novello, Gladys Cooper, Tallulah Bankhead
Oliver Messel.
Cecil Beaton was surprised that the sisters seemed to take their party for granted. They rushed about, having a good time, 'not looking at all excited at having such a glorious party.' In the early 1920s they teamed up with Lady Eleanor Smith, Loelia Ponsonby,
Enid Raphael
and others to become the 'Bright Young People', with their bottle parties, charades, and treasure hunts.
When Beaton broke into this rarefied world in late 1926, the group found a photographer who could encapsulate them in romantic poses and publish the results in
On one memorable occasion, Teresa pretended to be a newspaper reporter from a non-existent paper and interviewed
Beverley Nichols
at Claridge's, while Zita and Lady Eleanor Smith hid under a table.
As early as 1923 Teresa was involved in a prank, dressing up as a Russian refugee called 'Madame Anna Vorolsky'. She adorned herself in a black wig, Woolworth pearls and her mother's mink coat, looking, in the words of Eleanor Smith, like 'a mixture of
Pola Negri
Anna Sten'
. Further armed with a casket of jewels from her mother's Rolls-Royce, Teresa went about pretending that she had to sell the jewels to educate 'my little boy', spicing this with grim descriptions of the Red Terror. Beverley Nichols was again taken in, as was the
9th Duke of Marlborough,
who some years later became one of Teresa's suitors.
She attended a garden party in the guise of Madame Vorolsky, with two Borzois in tow, and on meeting a distinguished general and his wife, told him that she would never forget the night she had spent with him in Paris. The general replied, somewhat sternly, that he had only spent one night in Paris during the war. 'Zat' said Teresa 'was zee night.'
In the 1920s the two sisters lived similar lives. They were invited to the great houses of the day – to the Desboroughs at Taplow Court, and the Salisburys at Hatfield. Both eventually married.
Zita's page boy beauty attracted
Sacheverell Sitwell,
the youngest of the three Sitwells, and also the playboy Italian diplomat,
Mario Panza.
Sachie Sitwell was already married to
Georgia Doble
when he fell for Zita, but neither his married state nor her ardent Catholicism deterred him. He pursued her in vain for some years. They had met at a party in 1926 and he thought she resembled a page in Tiepolo's
Antony and Cleopatra.
They met again staying with that aesthete of aesthetes,
Stephen Tennant,
at Wilsford Manor.
Rex Whistler, Cecil Beaton, Georgia Sitwell, William Walton, Stephen Tennant, Teresa Jungman, and Zita Jungman.

Zita hoped to find a sympathetic confidant in Sachie, but was disappointed to find him too flippantly social. Nevertheless a Platonic friendship lasted between them for some years, not without jealousy from Georgia, who tried to promote a romance with Sachie's brother,
but he unfortunately soon settled down with
David Horner.
Sachie was terrified that Zita might tumble into a dreary marital alliance. Annoyed with Georgia in 1928, he wrote to her: 'My balmgiver, my golden tree, shake your curled hair ceaselessly …' Then Mario Panza arrived on the scene, but rather than marry him, she married
Arthur James,
a Yorkshireman and the maternal grandson of the
4th Duke of Wellington.
Zita was married on 29 January 1929, but the marriage was ill-fated from the start. Her mother and sister appeared on the honeymoon, which began at Leeds Castle, as later did
William Walton
(the composer) and Sachie Sitwell, convinced that she would soon tire of marriage to James, whom he deemed a dense man of little interest. He was right. She did not take to Yorkshire life. They were divorced in 1932.
Teresa's fair-haired beauty likewise attracted numerous admirers, amongst them
Lord Margesson,
the Conservative Chief Whip,
Lord Ebury,
of the older generation,
Lord David Cecil, 'Bloggs' Baldwin
(son of the Prime Minister) and
Frank Pakenham,
7th Earl of Longford
(and father of L
ady Antonia Fraser
Zita Jungman, William Walton, Cecil Beaton, Stephen Tennant, Georgia Sitwell, Teresa Jungman, and Rex Whistler.
Photographed by Cecil Beaton
Teresa was, however, very strict in her adherence to the Roman Catholic faith. Lord Longford was convinced that none of her admirers 'got anywhere with her sexually', and described her as 'more like a nun, like a very friendly and fascinating nun', he conceded.
Her best-known suitor was Evelyn Waugh,
who met her after his devastating separation from his first wife. But he never had a chance with her, since he had not then obtained his annulment, and therefore could not marry her. Waugh told
Lady Diana Cooper
that if he held Teresa's hand for a while, a little warmth came into it; the moment he released the hand it went cold again.
"Evelyn Waugh told Lady Diana Cooper that if he held Teresa's hand for a while, a little warmth came into it; the moment he released the hand it went cold again."
Waugh first met Teresa in 1930, and was deeply attracted to her — she, however, found him physically unattractive. She later claimed that she loved him, but was not in love with him. She wrote to him: 'It is hard to believe that you can't see me without wanting to have an affair with me', and then, rather tantalisingly: 'If you weren't married, you see, it would be different because I might or I might not want to marry you but I wouldn't be quite sure'.
In 1933, when Waugh thought that he was about to be free from his marriage, he proposed to Teresa, but was turned down flat. As he recorded: 'Was elated and popped question to Dutch girl [as he often called her] and got raspberry. So that is that, eh'. Some have suggested that Teresa might have inspired the heroine of
Brideshead Revisited,
Lady Julia Flyte. In facetious mood, Waugh claimed that every character in
Work Suspended
was based on her.
Finally, in 1940, she married
Graham Cuthbertson,
a Scot who had been educated at Wellington and was then serving in a Canadian regiment. He arrived in Britain as a sergeant-major sporting a walrus moustache, and, to the horror of all Teresa's old suitors, swept her off her feet. Lord Longford recalled that he and his friends thought him a bounder: 'He obviously had plenty of sexuality. Perhaps it needed someone like that to overcome Baby's chasteness, which possibly he did not even notice.'

CIA Chief David Petraus admits that the CIA will be spying on you through your internet connected household appliances.
The world's beloved high-tech gadgets will be used to gather information, spy and keep tabs on the people.
The latest and greatest technology is applauded with a rush of enthusiasm with little thought to the dark side of it. Doesn't everyone want to tweet and comment on facebook from their savvy new refrigerators that let you log in your name and password while at the same time cook in the kitchen?
How about turning off your dryer from your cell phone? These technologies seem pretty "amazing" but does the buyer stop to think about how these smart appliances will make your private life no longer private?
The upcoming appliances will all be connected to the internet; computer chips linking all of the appliances together.
"The current 'Internet of PCs' will move, of course, toward an 'Internet of Things'—of devices of all types—50 to 100 billion of which will be connected to the Internet by 2020," Petraeus said in his speech. He added:
Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters—all connected to the next-generation Internet using abundant, low cost, and high-power computing—the latter now going to cloud computing, in many areas greater and greater supercomputing, and, ultimately, heading to quantum computing.
The CIA has a lot of legal restrictions against spying on American citizens. But collecting ambient geolocation data from devices is a grayer area, especially after the 2008 carve-outs to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Hardware manufacturers, it turns out, store a trove of geolocation data; and some legislators have grown alarmed at how easy it is for the government to track you through your phone or PlayStation.
My comment:
The advancing technology matches the spiritual realm. Let me explain. We are experiencing a merge of everything. The merge of religion, the merge of governments, the merge of borders and finally the merge of all technology. This "oneness" is the battle-cry of the new age movement that wants a one world consciousness, where you and I are one and so are we one with nature and all that exists. And who has control of this false oneness? The antichrist. He fools the world that it's good to be one without boundaries, and a moral law. He takes the paints and swirls them all together, where no individual color can be seen. There is no blue and green, no objective truth. Everything is relative and the Word of God deleted.
Jesus tells us he has come to divide and not mush everything and everyone together. The Gospel is the diving line, separating darkness from light. The antichrist says there is not dark and light, only a gray colorless existence.
Jesus came to give us abundant life in Him, not a gray relativism. You will lose people you love by choosing to stand behind the dividing line. On one side the gray and on the other color and light. Choose wisely.
In Him is life eternal and joy complete. We can see even through the emergence of smart technology, the evil one taking over the world in a bid to be worshiped by all. We pray, Marantha. King Jesus, come back and save your people. How we love you. Amen.
Revelation 13:18
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

text: This guy is your best friend? Surely there are better options out there. Like people who will communicate like adults. Sounds like you have some communication problems that make you both seem immature to me. If you can't talk it out in person, you're obviously not that good friends, and your friendship is obviously not as equally important to both parties. Trying to find out what is going wrong through other people is childish, a great way to get biased answers, and not a good sign of a strong friendship.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Contract talks between the Bills and safety Jairus Byrd were at a standstill on Sunday, a day before Buffalo faces a deadline to apply the franchise tag on the three-time Pro Bowl selection.
People familiar with the situation told The Associated Press talks have stalled and no further discussions are scheduled after the Bills made a lucrative, multiyear offer to Byrd. Without revealing the full value and length of the offer, one person said Byrd would have been paid about $30 million over the contract's first three seasons.
The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither side has publicly discussed negotiations.
Unless a deal is reached, the Bills have until 4 p.m. Monday to apply the franchise tag on Byrd and retain the player's rights before he would be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on March 11.
The Bills took that approach last off-season, which led to Byrd playing under a one-year, $6.9 million franchise tag. The price for Buffalo to do so again would increase to about $8.4 million this year.
Byrd has been Buffalo's best defensive back since being selected in the second round of the 2009 draft out of Oregon.
He enjoyed a breakout season as a rookie, when he finished tied for the NFL lead with nine interceptions -- a rookie franchise record.
Last year, Byrd finished tied for the team lead with four interceptions, and added a sack and a forced fumble despite missing the entire off-season before reporting to the team in late August, when he accepted his one-year contract. Byrd then missed the first five games of the season because of plantar fasciitis in both feet.
Despite the time he missed, Byrd still earned his third Pro Bowl selection.
Byrd has 22 interceptions and 11 forced fumbles in 73 career games.
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.
