WCA loses to Underwood on the road
The West Central Area girls' basketball team wrapped up its regular season unfavorably in a 54-43 loss to Underwood on the road Friday.
Head coach Beth Hill said the Knights committed too many mental errors to pull out a victory in Underwood.
"We lost to Underwood tonight because we made a lot of little mental errors," Hill said. "We've talked all year about how these seemingly little things add up over the course of a game and become big things."

Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who most of the next. The Apostles themselves, who set on foot the conversion of the Roman Empire, the great men who built up the Middle Ages, the English Evangelicals who abolished the Slave Trade, all left their mark on Earth, precisely because their minds were occupied with Heaven. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth 'thrown in': aim at earth and you will get neither. It seems a strange rule, but something like it can be seen at work in other matters. Health is a great blessing, but the moment you make health one of your main, direct objects you start becoming a crank and imagining there is something wrong with you. You are only likely to get health provided you want other things more—food, games, work, fun, open air. In the same way, we shall never save civilisation as long as civilisation is our main object. We must learn to want something else more. – C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Evil, More or Less
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife." Now Abimelech had not approached her. So he said, "Lord, will you kill an innocent people? Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this." Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. Now then, return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours." – Gen. 20:3-7
God prevented Abimelech from sinning. He acted to protect the promise he had made to Abraham and Sarah. God restrained Abimelech's evil, why didn't he do it for Sodom and Gomorrah in the previous chapter?
Why didn't he do it for all of humanity before the flood?
Why didn't he do it in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve before they fell?
Why doesn't he do it today for Eric Garner and the two cops killed in Brooklyn?
If God is able to restrain evil, as he demonstrated here, and yet he doesn't, does that mean he is wrong and at least complicit in the evil?
A few thoughts on this:
- We are not robots. God spoke with Abimelech and Abimelech responded. Abimelech was a free moral agent in this transaction. God didn't make a race of robots, he made image bearers with whom he wants to have a relationship. "We are free to choose, but we are always a slave to our greatest desire." – Jonathan Edwards
- When the men of Sodom saw the visiting angels, they attacked, unlike righteous Lot who sought to protect them. Noah preached righteousness as he built the ark and no one listened to him. God sent prophets to Israel and Judah and they ignored, imprisoned, and murdered them. God himself took on flesh and came to the world and Jews and Gentiles illegally nailed him to a cross. There is a measure of wickedness that can occur in the human heart which will cause a person to not listen to pleas for righteous behavior. We don't know that level but God does.
- Evil came into this world through the voluntary act of Adam. God had already announced what the price of that would be: death. All of humanity is engaged in treason against him. God is not obligated to restrain evil caused by free moral agents. The situation he announced to Adam was that sin would be met with death. And yet, Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree and did not die in that day. God had mercy on them. It is mercy that God warned Abimelech or has ever warned anyone. But he did and he continues to.
- God is no stranger to personal injustice. Jesus Christ was the most innocent, the least deserving prisoner ever executed. God entered into our suffering and sorrow. He does not stand aloof from it and look on as an uncaring voyeur. God can restrain and sometimes does evil but Jesus came and bore it in order not to just restrain it, though he is for a while, but ultimately to destroy it. To judge it as evil. He is reconciling everything through the blood of his cross.
- At the same time, the Bible is clear that faith is a gift from God (Eph 2:8, Heb 12:2) and so is repentance (2 Tim 2:25). He appoints some to eternal life (Acts 13:48) and Judas was predestined to betray Jesus (Acts 1:16). God choses to grant faith and repentance to some but not all. In the end, God does deal with all sin, one way or another. Either in hell or at the cross of Christ.
So why didn't he restrain the evil in Sodom? It appears that Lot was resented in Sodom (Gen 19:9) so God may have been restraining it to some degree through Lot's presence. Also, God agreed to spare the entire city the punishment for their evil if there were ten righteous people found in it. But there weren't. God is not a sadist waiting to chuck another soul into hell. But he will not nod at evil either. Bottom line: Abimelech feared God and Sodom feared nothing.
In both Sodom and Gerar, where Abimelech was king, God dealt with evil. In Sodom, he judged it, in Gerar he restrained it. He doesn't sit idly by while evil ravages his creation and his creatures.
This Wretched Heart
Jer. iii. 22 Hos. xiv. 4.
by Mrs. Anne Steele
How oft, alas, this wretched heart
Has wander'd from the Lord!
How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of his word.
Yet sov'reign mercy calls, Return;
Dear Lord, and may I come?
My vile ingratitude I mourn;
Oh take the wand'rer home.
And canst thou, wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardon'd rebel live
To speak they wondrous love?
Almighty grace, thy healing pow'r
How glorious, how divine!
That can to bliss and life restore
So vile a heart as mine.
They pardoning love, so free, so sweet
Dear Savious, I adore;
O keep me at thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more.
Elihu's Better Answer
He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter his lightning.
They turn around and around by his guidance,
to accomplish all that he commands them
on the face of the habitable world.
Whether for correction or for his land
or for love, he causes it to happen. – Job 37:11-13
In our Modern or even in our Post-Modern view of the world, we can suffer from chronological snobbery. "Early man was a primitive brute who didn't understand the world with the complexity and sophistication we enlightened beings do. We pity them."
This mindset leads to the common notion that religion is an expression of fear early man had of the universe around him. Lightening was scary and the notion that it might be uncontrolled was terrifying so they invented a god or gods to wielded it. This meant there was purpose behind lightening strikes that set forests ablaze and that man could influence them by appeasing a particular god.
A lot of that is hogwash. This quote from the book of Job is a prime example. Elihu, the one who said the above phrase, shows that at least this ancient man, he and Job were probably contemporaries of Abraham, didn't have an understanding of metrology that was rooted in fear or superstition. His description above is fairly accurate. Clouds are moisture and they do produce lightening. But Elihu wasn't materialistic either. He didn't view these things as purposeless, unguided events that were solely the product of natural causes. Elihu understood that God was sovereign over these things and that they achieved his purposes.
Don't believe the caricature of religion that is being propagated today. Like Elihu 4,000 years ago, we aren't afraid of or ignorant of the natural processes the universe runs on. At the same time, we don't for a moment believe that those natural processes dismiss God by explaining him away. "Eliminate the need for a god and the god simply disappears," so the reasoning goes. This is why materialistic atheism has such high hopes for evolution. Douglas Adams summed it up nicely in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe with the Babel fish:
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best-selling book Well That About Wraps It Up For God.
We can and should explore the natural processes that lead to things like rain and lightening and earthquakes and solar eclipses. God made a universe that produces such things, so to understand them is to understand what God has done and what he is like. Materialism, the theory that physical matter is all that there is, is not a foregone conclusion; it is a theory about the universe that has some tremendous problems with it and a lot of explaining to do. Elihu has a better answer.
Nothing to Get Excited Over
Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came to meet David trembling and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?" And David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, 'Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place. Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever is here." And the priest answered David, "I have no common bread on hand, but there is holy bread—if the young men have kept themselves from women." And David answered the priest, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition. The vessels of the young men are holy even when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will their vessels be holy?" So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the LORD, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away. – 1 Sam 21:1-6
One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. And the Pharisees were saying to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?" And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath." – Mark 2:23-28
Who gave David the bread, Ahimelech or Abiathar? Did Jesus get it wrong? Or did Mark? Or did the author of Samuel? Is this one of those supposedly numerous errors in the Bible?
Really, we need to slow down a bit and read what Jesus actually said before we get too excited or upset. Jesus didn't say that Abiathar gave David the bread, he said that in the days when Abiathar was the high priest David ate the bread of the presence. That doesn't conflict with 1 Samuel at all. Ahimelech was the priest on duty when David came looking for food. Abiathar was the high priest but that didn't mean that he was at the tabernacle at that time. He had specific duties and at appointed times he would be there. But he wasn't when David came.
But the panic isn't over yet. In 1 Samuel what happened next is that Saul found out what the priest had done for David and he slaughtered them. Only Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech survived and escaped (1 Sam 22:20). But how could Abiathar be the high priest and the son of a serving priest? Actually, it could happen. It isn't clear at this point in Israel's history how a high priest was chosen. If you look in the Law (Exodus through Deuteronomy) you'll find that the term "high priest" is only used a few times in Numbers. There is no biblical criteria for who would be the high priest so it could have been Ahimelech's son. Or another priest name Abiathar. Again, not a big deal.
A Covenant of Promise
The above quote is from an anonymous 17th century Particular Baptist. "The wha?" you say. In the 17th century there were Baptists who were Calvinists and they were referred to as "Particular Baptists" because they believed in particular redemption rather than the General Baptists who believed that Jesus died for the sins of everyone. Today, we'd call them Reformed Baptists because they believed a lot more Reformed theology than just particular redemption. This chap probably chose to be anonymous because for a while in the 17th century it was illegal to be a Baptist in England.
Anyway, this particular Particular Baptist (sorry) denied that the covenant of circumcision in Genesis 17 was the Covenant of Grace. Now, as far as that goes, I'm fine with it. The two covenants are not the same. However, that doesn't make the covenant of circumcision a covenant of works either. I would put it in the category of a covenant of promise (Eph 2:12). Here's why:
In Galatians 3, Paul pits the law against the promise of the covenant of circumcision. You can tell that he has Genesis 17 in mind because in verses 15-18 he cites it when he says "and to your offspring" which he explains is talking about Jesus. According to verses 2, 5, 14 and 4:6 the promise is the Holy Spirit. So Paul's understanding of the covenant of circumcision is that it promised and pictured the Holy Spirit. That makes a lot of sense biblically since in Deut 30, God promises to circumcise Israel's heart. In Col 3:11 we are told that we have received Christian circumcision done without hands. In Romans 2:29 circumcision is called "a matter of the heart." And Paul asked the Galatians in verse 2, "Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?" Since the promise of the covenant of circumcision is the Spirt and we receive the Spirit by faith, not works, the covenant of circumcision cannot be a works/law covenant.
What of the fact that it can be broken (Gen 17:14) which our anonymous Baptist cited in his quote? The way a child is said to have broken the covenant if he was not circumcised. This helpless infant is not relying on his own works but the faithfulness of his father. Since we receive Christian circumcision in the same way, while we were helpless and by the faithfulness of our Heavenly Father, this condition pictured God's grace.
What of God's command to Abram "walk before me and be blameless" (Gen 17:1)? Isn't that a law of the covenant of circumcision? No, it isn't. God explained why he required this of Abram, "that I may make my covenant with you" (Gen 17:2) and then immediately says "Behold, my covenant is with you." (Gen 17:4) so Abram had already met those requirements. How? He'd met them the first time God established this covenant: "And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness." (Gen 15:6). This covenant of circumcision was a gracious covenant.
What of Galatians 5:3 which says that if you're circumcised you're under obligation to keep the entire law? That cannot be speaking of Genesis 17 since Paul has already contrasted that covenant with the law in chapter 3. Also, when Abram entered the covenant of circumcision, the law had not yet been given. Abrams couldn't have been under obligation to keep the entire law since it would be another 500 years before God would give it. In Galatians 5, Paul is talking about the Mosaic covenant which was a law/works covenant.
Left Behind Too
Previously, I'd cited this verse to explain why it is best to be left behind:
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth – Matthew 13:41-42
This is what Jesus meant about one being take and one begin left behind in Luke 17:
I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left. – Luke 17:34-35
The context for the Luke quote is that Jesus is comparing the day when Jerusalem will be sacked in 72 A.D. with the days of Noah (see verse 26) or the days of Lot (see verse 28). The judgement will fall swiftly on that unrighteous city and when it does, the wicked will be swept away but the righteous will be spared.
Another verse comes to mind as well that gets at this point and gives it some historical context:
Therefore I am full of the wrath of the for the LORD;
I am weary of holding it in.
"Pour it out upon the children in the street,
and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
both husband and wife shall be taken,
the elderly and the very aged…" – Jeremiah 6:11
Jeremiah is warning Jerusalem that just as Israel had been carried away in exile, the same is coming upon Judah. Armies from the north would soon sweep down and carry away the rebellious nation. Likewise, Jesus and the Apostles preached and taught the Jews that the generation Jesus faced had never actually gone into exile, that is, they had never learned what God intended them to learn when he sent them into exile in the first place. There may have been Jews in that day who taught that that they were technically still in exile till the Davidic king, the Messiah, would come and that's why there was a lot of expectation about the coming of the Messiah in and before Jesus' day.
But Jesus repeatedly compared the Jews of his day to their fathers who killed the prophets (cf. Matthew 23:29-39). The point is made most strongly when they kill Jesus himself, God incarnate, and yell, "We have no king but Caesar!" (John 19:15) Jesus never compared them to the chastened Jews who waited in exile for their deliverance such as Daniel or Ezekiel. This is why Jesus used the same turn of phrase as Jeremiah. Jeremiah was condemning the god-hating, prophet-killing sinners of his day and Jesus is doing the same. I think Jesus intended that his hearers would make that same connection.
So how do you avoid being "left behind"? You reject Jesus and kill those he sends. That's how to make sure you are taken but it is to be taken in judgement.
Implicit Baptisms or Not?
I'm not a Baptist but I am baptistic. There is no biblical support for the practice of infant baptism, no example of an infant being baptized, no necessary inference that leads to infant baptism, and church history does not support the Reformed argument for infant baptism. So when the accusation that I might implicitly be fudging on infant baptism by performing an infant dedication seemed to land too close to home, I stepped back.
"Baby dedications? Really? Why not just throw some water on the baby and call it a baptism? After all, Jesus said, 'Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.' You baptists are so inconsistent."
I have to admit, these arguments, properly fleshed out, had me very skeptical of doing baby dedications for a long while. What got to me was the assumption that infant dedications in the Bible were support for infant baptism. Since I rejected infant baptism, it seemed that I would have to reject infant dedications.
But it is very easy to be for or against something in theory based on the arguments of those who are for or against it, but when you have to face it in real life it causes you to think much more clearly about it. That's what's happened to me on this issue. I'll be doing a dedication on Sunday and that helped clarify this for me.
I finally saw that the problem with the argument Reformed infant baptizers lob against infant dedication lies is in the fact that there are infant dedications in the Bible and they are not equated with baptisms. Ever. Samuel was dedicated to the Lord by Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:21-2:11 but there is no connection to baptism anywhere. Isaiah was called from his mother's womb in Isaiah 49:1-6 and God did the same thing with Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:5. The fact that Isaiah and Jeremiah entered their prophetic offices means that they had been dedicated to this role from birth. In Luke 1 John the Baptist is dedicated to his role as the forerunner of Christ from his inception. His parents complied with the angel's instructions and set him aside from his birth. Baptism only enters his picture when John starts his ministry, not in his dedication to that role at his birth.
We could also speak of Moses and others but what we're seeing in this biblical picture of infants is not baptism but dedication. There is no command to dedicate children to the Lord but it doesn't hurt to do it and there are hints that children of covenant members (i.e. believers) are blessed and holy. Consider Matthew 18:1-4, 10-18 and 1 Corinthians 7:14. An infant dedication isn't a form of dry baptism, it is simply recognizing what the Bible says about our children and honoring it in an official ceremony.
Please, Just Sit Down.
This showed up in my Tumblr feed. It amounts to a flippant joke about the serious, life-ending procedure of abortion. The responses to this joke demonstrate a tragically shallow grasp of rhetoric and ignorance of reasons for opposition to abortion. I wish we'd start teaching logic in schools again; clearly this was not an argument in any meaningful way and since it ignores opposing views, it isn't even an adequate way to describe abortion.
The assumption is that abortion is a personal choice just like having children is a personal choice. But in an abortion, someone dies. Every time. I hope I made that point in my comment at the bottom: "Or stand up comedians. But thankfully, we're not allowed to kill them."
Inventory Issues
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. (2 Chron 5:10)
[T]he ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. (Hebrews 9:4)
This has got to be one of the many contradictions in the Bible we hear about, right? Not really. It is a contradiction only if you read the Bible flatly. By 'flatly' I mean if you read it as if it were one book written at one time by one author. That is, if you expect it to be written the way humans tend to write. The reason this is not a contradiction is because there are two different authors writing at two different times, in two different languages, relating actual history from two different time periods. That describes writing that is much less flat, much more nuanced, don't you think?
The chronicler, writing in Hebrew probably around 400BC, is telling about when Solomon built the first temple and brought the ark into it. The author of Hebrews, writing in Greek probably around 60AD, is talking about the tabernacle just after it was completed. The time difference between these two events is about 500 years and an awful lot happened in those 400 and something years. To understand the inventory problem with the ark, we need to look at its history with an emphasis on what went inside it.
It all starts in Exodus 25 where God tells Moses how to build the ark. In verse 16, God says, "And you shall put into the ark the testimony that I shall give you." The "testimony" here is the Ten Commandments that God wrote on tables of stone. They were placed inside the ark once it was constructed.
The first thing listed in Hebrews is the urn of manna. In Exodus 16 God gave Israel manna six days a week. It was a miraculous food that formed on the ground overnight. Any manna that was kept overnight spoiled except on Friday since Saturday is the Sabbath and none was given. In verse 33 Aaron is told, "Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the LORD to be kept throughout your generations." Now, at this point, the ark hasn't been constructed yet; as a matter of fact, God hadn't even told Moses that an ark is to be constructed. Exodus 16 is about six weeks before Mount Sinai where God verbally gives Israel the Ten Commandments and another month of so after that till he gives the instructions for the ark. At this point, the jar was kept but not in the ark.
The next thing in the list from Hebrews is the rod of Aaron that budded. In Numbers 16, the sons of Korah challenged Moses' and Aaron's authority. God's response was to send a fire to consume the rebels who stood before him and to open the earth under their tents. It wasn't Moses and Aaron they were ultimately challenging, it was God and the rebellion didn't stop once Korah's children were gone. The next day the people complained along the same lines, "You have killed the people of the LORD." (Num 16:41) In order to authenticate who God had chosen to lead Israel, Moses took a staff from the leader of every tribe and he put them in the tabernacle. The next morning they found that Aaron's staff had budded and sprouted almonds. In Numbers 17:10 God directed Moses that to put "the staff of Aaron before the testimony".
So each item that Hebrews mentioned was associated with the "testimony" in some way. Does that mean it was inside the ark? Clearly the tablets of the Ten Commandments were in there, they were called "the testimony" to begin with. Aaron's rod was to be "before the testimony" which could mean that it sat in front of the ark but that seems a bit odd. There wasn't a table in there to set the rod on and "the testimony" (i.e. the tablets) were inside the ark. If the rod was before the testimony it could have easily been inside the ark. Why not?
Likewise, the jar of manna was to be "before the LORD". God's presence was between the cherubim on top of the ark so the best place for the jar would be there. Again, there was no table to keep this stuff on so placing it inside the ark makes sense. Also, consider that they had to pack all this stuff up and move it around quite a bit before they came to the Promised Land. It would just make sense to put it in the ark.
But that leaves us with an inventory problem when we get to Second Chronicles since "there was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses put there." We don't know for sure what happened to the other things since the Bible doesn't say anything about them but there are hints. If we track the history of the ark in the Bible we see some opportunities for things to get lost.Surprisingly, there is no mention of the ark being lost in Judges. The people were so superstitious at that time that you'd figure they'd would have drug it out all the time. Nope, they were able to hold off losing it till 1 Samuel 4. When the Philistines came out against them, they pulled out the ark like it was an idol or something. The Philistines captured it in battle. However, things didn't go so well for the Philistines. They put the ark in the temple of their god Dagon who kept falling over in front of it. Then the people broke out in boils so they decided it would be best to return the ark to Israel. When they did, some Israelites decided to take look inside (1 Sam 6:19 NIV, KJV, ASV). If Israel decided to take a peek, I'll bet the Philistines did too. After all, for the Philistines it was the spoils of war. When the Philistines consulted their priests and diviners to try to figure out what to do with the ark, their wisemen told them, "do not send it empty, but by all means return him a guilt offering" (1 Sam 6:3). That could mean "empty" as in "without a guilt offering" or it could mean "we took stuff out and it has become obvious that we're guilty and need to make an offering." A golden urn? There's some cash value. A stick that budded (assuming it was still spouting)? Sounds like magic! Keep that! Big old stone tablets with Hebrew writing on them? Yeah, leave that.
Years later David would split up the articles of the tabernacle. The tent was at a high place in Gibeon with the bronze alter but David moved the ark to Jerusalem (2 Chr 1:4-5) and he put it in a tent he'd had built for it (1 Chr 15:1). When the contents are mentioned in 2 Chronicles 5, we're down to just the tablets. And it is interesting that the author would mention specifically that there was nothing else in there but the tablets. He might do that in order to confirm, yes, there was nothing else in there, just as it was supposed to be. On the other hand, he could also be commenting that the other stuff had gone missing and all that was left was the tablets.
Do you see how bumpy and nubbley a reading of the Bible has to be? Nothing flat about it! The Bible spans a great deal of time and so you can't read it like a column in a magazine where all the pertinent history is gathered together for you. You have to take a lot more into consideration. God is bigger than a magazine editor and his story spans generations. Expect his writing, both in history and in the Bible to be huge.

|Zdeno Chara expected to play Saturday after being hospitalized with dehydration
|04.16.11 at 11:10 am ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien said Saturday that he expects captain Zdeno Chara to be in the lineup for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals after being hospitalized Friday night for dehydration.
"He got treated with a little bit of hydration, and that's basically all there is to that," Julien said. "Until our medical staff tells me he can't go, he's in tonight."
Julien would not divulge whether Chara stayed overnight in the hospital, but did say that the medical staff, who will make the decision, "have yet to tell me that he can't go."
Chara led all Bruins skaters with 25:06 of ice time on Thursday, totalling five shots on goal in the team's 2-0 loss to the Canadiens. His plus-33 rating in the regular season led all NHL skaters.
"He's our leader. He's our captain," forward Shawn Thornton said of Chara. "He's 6-foot-9, 260 pounds. He's a big, big presence for us. He's been our best player for the four years that I've been here, so he's huge."
In the unlikely event that Chara is not able to play Saturday, reserve defenseman Shane Hnidy, who played in three regular-season games with the team since signing on in late February, is ready to go.
"That's why I'm here," Hnidy said with a smile. "You've got to have that kind of mind set that every day, regardless of the situation, you're coming in preparing to play. When told otherwise, you look after that."
|Claude Julien: Net-front presence is a 'mind-set'
|04.15.11 at 1:25 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien did not have trouble identifying one of the main reasons the Bruins lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. The team struggled to establish a presence in front of Carey Price throughout the 2-0 loss, as the Habs' defense tightened up and power forwards such as Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton failed to make an impact.
"We spent most of the night with the puck, but at the end of the night, we didn't get the results. That's probably the thing that sticks out the most. We just have to make some adjustments and understand that if we're going to score goals, we've got to pay the price a little bit better around the net.
"We've got to be a little better down low, and stronger on the puck," Julien said after Friday's practice. "Part of it was that, but part of it was that we know we have to be a little bit more involved. Some of the net-front presence is not necessarily something you have to practice more than it is a mind-set. If we commit ourselves to going there, we'll get there. Sometimes you have to work through it because they're doing a pretty good job of boxing us out."
The B's did not appear to be down on themselves on Friday despite the loss. Many players pointed to positives of Thursday's game both after the contest and after Friday's practice. Julien sees the reasons for optimism, but he expects more from all of his skaters.
"I think we all know that although we played a decent game, we can all be a little better. As a team, we feel that we can be a little better. That's basically it, and that's to a man."
Price made 31 saves in the shutout victory, while the Habs blocked 20 shots.
|Bruins still not feeling intended effect following frustrating Game 1 loss to Canadiens
|04.15.11 at 12:59 pm ET
WILMINGTON — After failing to score (or get many quality chances) on Canadiens goaltender Carey Price in a 2-0 loss in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, there was very little, if any, frustration expressed by the Bruins at Ristuccia Arena Friday.
The B's hit the ice for practice, while the Habs regulars were given the day off. Still, optimism filled the Bruins' room. Never mind talk of how ineffective the top line was, or how they couldn't get second or third chances on Price. The way the players see it, thinking about Game 2 is more important than thinking about Game 1.
"It's one game, and we're not going to dwell on it," Brad Marchand said. "It's tough when you run into a hot goalie, but that stuff happens. You've got to find a way around it. '¦ No one wins the Stanley Cup in the first game of the first series. We're not frustrated at all. It's one game, and we've got to put it behind us."
Forward Shawn Thornton, who was given just 5:10 of ice time in the game, shared the same logic.
"It's fine. We're good. It's one game," Thornton said. "We're aware that it's a long series, and we know we can be better, so we're going to be better tomorrow."
Both of the Canadiens' goals were scored by Brian Gionta following Bruins turnovers. Gionta's first-period tally was set up by Scott Gomez after Tomas Kaberle put too much on a reverse, while Gionta's third-period goal came following a Milan Lucic turnover in the Bruins' zone.
"The game's not perfect. There's going to be turnovers every now and again," Thornton said. "You try and limit them as much as possible, but when they happen, you hope that you can get back and bail each other out. That being said, you try and make the right plays at the right time.
"Give them credit, too. They're a pretty good team. Defensively, they did a really good job of clogging up the neutral zone and clogging up the front of the not and blocking people out. You have to give them credit. They're a pretty good team over there."
The B's will host the Habs for Game 2 at TD Garden on Saturday.
|Everything looks the same as Bruins prepare for Game 2
|04.15.11 at 11:19 am ET
WILMINGTON — The Canadiens' regulars aren't practicing after taking a 2-0 victory in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, but Claude Julien had all of his Bruins on the ice at Ristuccia Arena Friday morning. The B's will bost the Habs Saturday with hopes of avoiding a two-game deficit in the series.
There were no changes to which players were on the ice or their color-coded lines. The lines are as follows:
Milan Lucic ' David Krecji ' Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand ' Patrice Bergeron ' Mark Recchi
Rich Peverley ' Chris Kelly ' Michael Ryder/Tyler Seguin
|David Krejci on P.K. Subban: 'I don't like him'
|04.14.11 at 10:46 pm ET
The Bruins had plenty of reason to be frustrated with their inability to put one past Carey Price in their 2-0 loss to the Canadiens in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, but David Krejci's frustration extended past the score board.
With the Bruins trailing the Habs, 1-0, in the first period, Krejci was tangled up with Habs rookie defenseman P.K. Subban. Subban turned on the jets, seemingly knowing Krejci's stick would obstruct him just enough for the officials to take notice, and drew a questionable hooking call that left the crowd booing and Krejci hoping for a better call. Krejci was even more upset when the refs didn't treat second-period play similarly when he went crashing into the boards on the power play.
"I barely touched him," Krejci said of his hooking call on Subban. "Then we had a power play in the second period, and they did the same thing to me. I almost killed myself by the boards there behind the net, and the ref didn't see it, I guess. I know people make mistakes, but come on, the puck's there, so there's two referees. If he calls that penalty on me, he's got to call [the other one] too. Obviously it sucks, but I can't bring it back."
As for Subban, who has proven on multiple occasions that he'll do whatever he can to draw a penalty, Krejci didn't hide his thoughts.
"I don't like him," Krejci said. "I'm not going to say what I think about him, but I don't like him. I think he didn't have to go down that easily, but it was a call. I don't think it was a bad call or a good call, it was just a made call, but if you make a call that's fine with me, but he's got to make the same call on the other side when that happened to me. That's what I'm kind of mad about."

|Finally, Gregory Campbell gets a taste of NHL Playoffs
|04.14.11 at 1:54 pm ET
The anticipation for the playoffs has been great enough for the Bruins, but "anticipation" might not even be say it all when it comes to Gregory Campbell.
The Bruins' fourth-line center/unsung hero has been dependable for the B's since being acquired in the Nathan Horton deal last June, and now he will finally be rewarded with his first playoff appearance since being drafted as a second-round pick in 2002. Six seasons in Florida yielded no opportunities to chase the Stanley Cup, so it's safe to say Campbell is happy to be where he is.
"When you first start out in the league, it's just a pleasure to be here and play in the league, but as you go further on into your career, I feel like winning becomes more important, and there's a lesser chance of that," Campbell said Thursday. "I'm fortunate enough to be here in Boston and have this chance to play in the postseason."
Campbell tied a career-high with 13 goals this season and was a rock for the Bruins over 80 games this season. He hopes to extend that success into the playoffs, and he doesn't seem to mind all of the heightened expectations.
"Playing hockey is fun enough, but when the games really matter is in the playoffs, and that's what I'm looking forward to most, is playing games that actually matter," he said. "Already you can tell, it's just a different feeling. It's been a while since I've had this, and I can't wait to get started."
Perhaps it's no surprise that Campbell and Horton got head-starts on their playoff beards. The wait for the playoffs has been long enough for those two, as neither one has seen the postseason since their junior hockey days.
"It's been six, seven, eight years since we've been able to grow one," Campbell said with a laugh. "I've been champing at the bit. The last time I grew one, I was 19."
For that reason, Campbell can actually identify with rookie Tyler Seguin. The 19-year-old's playoff beard isn't nearly as noticeable as some of his teammates', but Campbell knows what it's like.
"I give him credit for trying," he said with a smile.

Some of that stuff actually makes sense to redact, for a very good reason.
I remember how shitty search engines were in the 90's. Usually searching involved putting in your key words, getting a bunch of what you didn't want, adding more keywords, and then going through at least 10 pages or so of search results before you found your intended page. It sucked balls.
This was mainly the result of spammers gaming the search results to make sure you found their crap instead of what you were actually searching for. By keeping their page ranking algorithm and all of its quirks secret, it makes it that much harder for spammers to game the system.
How can you work when the system's so crowded?

Nairobi Seeks Answers 2 Months After 'Kenya's 9/11'
By editor
On Sept. 21, terrorists attacked the upscale Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, killing at least 67 people. Despite early reports of as many as 15 gunmen, Kenyan police now know that the attack was the work of only four terrorist, all of whom died in the suicide mission. But some other very important questions remain unanswered.

Eucalyptus in z7 mid-atlantic
I've read that the "Snow Gum" (Eucalyptus pauciflora) can survive fairly cold temperatures...has anyone in a climate similar to mine attempted to grow one?
A Eucalyptus would be a fun zone-pushing experiment.
I have repeatedly overwintered E. globulus on a sunny, south side of the house. I also can 'get away' with loquats, pomegranate, and Podocarpus (must all be zone 7b/8). I should do more Eucalyptus though myself as I suspect deer will never eat them--they love loquats unfortunately.
Expect even the hardiest euc to be cut back to the ground by winter cold periodically. Even in my very mild Puget Sound locale, every 10 years or so we get an arctic front through that will kill very mature eucalyptus back to the roots. They may survive - not always - but top growth is gone for sure.
Last time these got hit hard was 2 Novembers ago when temperatures plummeted from a record high to a record low in less than two weeks. I've attached a pretty interesting article about cold hardy eucs written by a friend of mine that is a eucalyptus growing specialist. Lots of interesting info to those who like to push the hardiness envelope :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: growing eucs in colder climates
Hardiness zones are soooo complicated. Surprised that Eucalytus can get killed down to the roots in Zone 8 PNW. Sometimes, this lack of winter hardiness is due to lack of SUMMER heat. Maybe it's the stronger winter sun, despite the colder Winter temps--? I was surprised though that Eucalytpus will often not only survive but remain evergreen in Eastern zone 7b microclimates.

Napa Valley Remodel Logistics Question
Hello - would appreciate any references you all might have...as noted we are remodeling. This is a vacation home. In the past when doing a large out of town project, we have used firms that would receive all furniture/appliance shipments, inspect the goods upon receipt and store until installation. Do you all know of anyone in the Napa Valley area to provide such a service? I am sure there is someone in San Fran but we wanted closer. Other option is to ship to our hometown receiver and then move from here, but that is 2,000 miles. Thx in advance for your thoughts. You all are always full of knowledge!
I'm sorry...I don't have any resources for you, but lucky you having a vacation home in the Napa area....love, love, love that area!!
Thank you lizzie_grow for your sweet comments. It is such a beautiful area and we look forward to sharing with family and friends. We have been vacationing for years out there, looking at property/homes etc.. and finally made it reality. Tinan - many thanks to you for the welcome and the tip to not appear as a newcomer. My husband was laughing at me. He said "you didn't put SF?" Feel free to forward any other local advice this way... Chickadee2 - great thought. We will talk with our realtor friend for referrals. We will be out soon, meeting with contractors and our architect, who we have known quite a while so will also seek his advice. I initially reached out to this forum as there are always so many great design minds who always seem to know how to get things done. Thanks again to you all for your thoughts.
How exciting! I love wine country, even though I'm not a big fan of wine... I just love the countryside. If you have not already checked out some of the smaller nearby towns such as Healdsburg and Calistoga, do pay them a visit. I love Sonoma, myself. The Oakland Grocery in Napa is one of our favorite stops for lunch.
I really have no idea why SF people are so reactive about the "San Fran" thing, but when we first moved to the area I got an earful when I said it once. So I try to spare all newcomers the same!

Some of the larger appliance stores will hold your purchases (from them) in the warehouse. Depending on where in Napa you are, Friedman's in Pleasant Hill carries all the major high end lines and their delivery area is wide.
You may also try to see if some of the storage facilities will accept shipments -- some will. Besides Napa and the smaller towns, check in Fairfield and Concord (or Santa Rosa). There are a number of these in Fairfield, along with movers, most likely due to the Military traffic at the AFB
Hello tinan and gooster. Thank you both for your comments. I am so sorry to be late in letting you know how much I appreciate them. I saw your posts but cannot log in from my phone (is that common?) and haven't been at my desk. Any, thanks again for the tips tinan. While we absolutely love wine, the countryside is the icing on the cake! Such a beautiful area with great weather, etc..Gooster, you have pointed me in the right direction so I have some great options now. Still looking and evaluating but at least I am on the right track. I really, really appreciate it. Thanks again.
I have listened about the student movers, they have offices here in Napa valley. Please get in touch with them and describe your needs, they may help you.

10-10-10 as a starter fertilizer
I am on a tight budget, and having trouble finding starter fertizlizer on store shelves. I'm in northeast Wisconsin. I have 2 bags of 10-10-10 fertilizer. I have a little area to seed and was going to do that in the next few days.
Will 10-10-10 act as a starter fertilizer in a pinch? Anyone know of good spreader settings? 3lbs./1000ft?
Humdog.....don't waste your time....or your money...ITS TOO LATE.
Your air temperature outside....right now...might be real nice....we're experiencing mid 70's in southern Ontario....but...as people will do...they forget grass seed does not grow in air...it grows in the ground and the soil temperatures are fast cooling off.
Grass seed needs a constant soil temperature of 45ð - 50ðF....to germinate. While it might be nice outside now...you and I can expect a killing frost pretty soon and so we should let our lawns and perennials to go dormant naturally.
Do your lawn fix-up next spring when the soil temperatures begin to go up.....not down as they are now.
Noooooooo!!!!! goren and kbinmd, I got your messages too late. She's already been seeded and strawed. I did this Wednesday night and got your messages yesterday. I know I'm about 2 weeks late from the last day they recommend we plant here in Wisconsin, but I'm hoping that the grass gods will take pity on my and give me something to work with.
Hopefully just enough to make it through the winter and have something in the spring. I'm thinking that with what I went through with my Town and Developer (long story), someone will look out for me and give me a little green before old man winter comes a knocking.
If not, well, I'll be out about $30. I still have plenty of seed and 10-10-10 left for spring if I should need it, but I won't. There are worse things in life than grass not growing. It's all about positivity here right?
The rest of my lawn is doing alright for being planted in the beginning of June. I have a feeling it will be even better come spring. Maybe I can let the KBG spread to the other area if it doesn't work out...well, that's wishful thinking because it's a rather large area.
I'll post some follow-up pics to see how it's progressing.
I wouldn't sweat it humdogj. I'm in SE WI, and last year I had my yard seeded the last week of September...not by choice, the house builder kept giving me the runaround.
There were a few nights in the upper 20's within a week of the seeding and I still got very good germination by the end of October.
All things considered, the grass came up great in the spring. I recently overseeded just to make sure the thin spots filled in and now my lawn looks great.
I know last October was pretty mild overall, so hopefully this year will be the same.

POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- The State Fire Marshal's office has found that the January blaze that destroyed a St. George home was set on purpose.
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Greg Riat released the following information on Thursday, March 8, 2012, detailing the developments in the investigation: "The Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office continues the investigation of a structure fire at 520 Jefferson street in St George KS.

LabCorp announces new findings on HIV-1 and HCV antiviral drug resistance
Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings announced that Monogram Biosciences, a member of the LabCorp Specialty Testing Group, presented two new studies characterizing HIV-1 and HCV antiviral drug resistance at the 2015 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections. In a study entitled "Dolutegravir Resistance Requires Multiple Primary Mutations in HIV-1 Integrase," Monogram investigators demonstrate that resistance to dolutegravir, the newest member of the HIV-1 integrase inhibitor drug class, requires combinations of mutations known to confer resistance to this drug class. Using Monogram's proprietary PhenoSense HIV drug resistance platform, the investigators associate quantitative reductions in dolutegravir sensitivity with specific combinations of mutations that confer integrase inhibitor resistance. This finding supports the favorable response rates observed in patient populations treated with regimens that incorporate dolutegravir following prior treatment failure with an integrase inhibitor–containing regimen. In a study entitled "Characterization of Naturally Occurring Resistance to HCV NS5A Inhibitors," Monogram investigators study the viruses of treatment naďve individuals infected with HCV genotype 1 for the presence of mutations that are associated with NS5A inhibitor resistance. Using Monogram's proprietary HCV GenoSure NS5A Assay and a sensitive next generation sequencing approach, the investigators are able to detect pre-existing resistant variants within patient virus populations belonging to the two major HCV subtypes that circulate in the U.S. In addition, the investigators demonstrate that the size of the subpopulations of resistant variants within GT1a viruses is larger compared to GT1b viruses. Finally, using Monogram's proprietary PhenoSense HCV drug resistance assay, the investigators demonstrate that NS5A mutations confer larger reductions in NS5A inhibitor susceptibility in the context of GT1a sequences compared to GT1b sequences. Overall, these observations suggest that GT1a viruses may be more prone to naturally-occurring and acquired NS5A inhibitor resistance than GT1b viruses.

To move or not move during labor?
I don't know that I'm much help because my attempt to go unmedicated failed after 10 hours of back labor, but for what it's worth, lying down did not work for me after the first few hours. DH and I had studied and practiced the Bradley method, but it just wasn't doing it for me. I needed to stand and lean forward during contractions with DH pushing on my back. I also tried walking down the hall (per the nurse's suggestion) and showering (brought some relief). Best of luck to you!
Mom to fur baby Dakota, a beautiful TODDLER girl born March 15, 2010, and another beautiful BABY girl born March 6, 2012 (VBAC). Go Marchies!
I did not study the Bradley method. I also had back labor and needed to move to relieve it... walking, floating in water, bouncing on yoga ball, swaying on hands and knees. I can't imagine being in labor and not moving a lot, but I guess that it works for some people.
I wouldn't worry too much, be open to anything. You'll probably find that you are drawn to some things naturally. I imagined I would like lying down more than I did, but I don't think I did it once. I also found the yoga ball only helped me at certain times, then it got too intense. Just do what you feel you should in that moment.
Mum to Bun (April 2014)
I walked around the hospital for an hour when I first arrived. It hurt, but it kept me focused on something besides pain and it was nice to be up and stretching my legs. Then I was stuck in bed for an hour when I got medicine for gbs. After that they gave me pitocin so I was stuck for a little longer. By then my contractions were so strong that I couldn't fathom moving around, I curled up on my left side and breathed through the pain and focused on my baby coming soon! The nurses kept suggesting that I could go in the shower or sit on a birthing ball, but I just wanted to lay there! I originally thought I'd take advantage of those options, but they weren't right for me at the time. When it came time to go to the delivery room across the hall, they told me I could walk over or they could wheel the bed over. I wanted to stretch my legs, so my crazy self got up (just a minute after they broke my water) and hobbled across the hall.
I labored for 8 hours, not sure if it had anything to do with my moving around or not, but I had a great birth experience by just following my body and what felt right moment by moment.

The relaxation techniques can also be applied to while you're moving and walking. You just pause and relax through the contraction, then start walking again. You wouldn't actually walk during a heavy contraction. It's almost physically impossible.
I hope that clears it up a bit. I've used parts of the method with both my natural births and I really appreciated what I learned. Just look at it add techniques and tools to use how you need. Use what works and leave what doesn't. They're not rules.
Congrats and good luck!

Well said, TofuMommy and others! You need to listen to your body and do what works for you. As contractions started becoming more intense, I could feel my body tightening up with fear and pain, so it helped to sort of dance and wiggle my hips through contractions, trying to keep things loose. But later on I was so tired that I was literally falling asleep in the brief pauses between them, so I wasn't moving around then. Other moms marvel at my ability to fall asleep like that, and I did study the Bradley relaxation stuff which usually made me fall asleep, but I have to say I think it was also thanks to hormones. My reaction to oxytocin as I know from later breastfeeding and letdown is to go into a more sleepy state.

We also studied the Bradley Method and we were taught lots of positions, not just laying down. The key is do whatever helps you relax...for some moms that means walking around or bouncing on the birthing ball - either of those things can be meditative if that's what works for you.

Ambrosia Spice
Ambrosia cigars are the result of taking experimental blending to its most extreme dimension. Available in Cameroon, Connecticut and Sumatra wrappers blended with select Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, the key to Ambrosia Spice's marvelous flavors and aroma comes from exotic native spices from South Asia and Europe. Made in limited quantity and appropriately referred to as 'Tobaccos Exxotica,' Ambrosia cigars are some of Drew Estate's finest and most aromatic cigars.
I am a big fan of Drew Estate. Until I tried this one the Liga Privada was my favorite one until i tired this one. It had an amazing aroma and the taste lasted from beginning to end.
Received this cigar as part of the 'Best Of Drew Estate' Sampler #3. It has a very sweet aroma and great taste. My wife noticed at had a hint of clove. I was a fairly good draw - just a little uneven burn but I would definitely recommend this smoke for those who like a sweeter smoke.
Great flavor, decent burn and draw. Be sure to not cut to much into it, I like it becuase I can easily use my teeth to bite the right amount for the perfect draw. One to definitely keep on the moist side. I wish these came in a nub version for the times when I only have a few minutes to spare. Love it for what it is. It s a great smoke for the price.
Draw was less than perfect for the first 1/3 but filled out to the end. The burn was uneven... received this in a sampler and will be giving these to my buddies in the future...this one was a 6 out of 10.

Sonia, who was orphaned as a young child, has overcome her humble beginnings to graduate from Smiles Forever's Bolivian hygienist school. Now with five years experience in a prestigious dental clinic, she has returned to teach at her alma mater. Sonia is saving money to continue her goal to be among the first female Bolivian dentists. Sonia needs a sponsor who will help fund her studies at the Universidad Mayor de San Simon in Cochabama, Bolivia, while she teaches and volunteers.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Sonia will be given a chance to attend the university dental school with the goal of becoming one of Bolivia's first female dentists. Life has been hard for Sonia, for her parents had both died when Sonia was 7. Sonia first lived with her older sister, who tried her best to school Sonia in the evenings and keep the family together. Then for her teen years, Sonia went to a women's shelter, and luckily for her on to being accepted and to excellence at the Bolivian Dental Hygienist school.
How will this project solve this problem?
Sonia desperately needs a sponsor for her continued studies at the university, while she works part time at the dental hygienist school which changed her life. You and your family and friends could be among those who sponsor Sonia's academic life. Sonia is an especially bright woman, with a beautiful bright smile, who could have a very bright future as a dentist. She continues to help those like herself with humble beginnings, including giving dental treatments to 300 school children.
Potential Long Term Impact
These newly trained professionals are role models for other homeless, indigenous women and the community at large. Many of them seek higher education. When the mother is educated, she understands prevention in medical and dental arenas. She values education and makes sure all of her children, including daughters, also receive education. An educated woman is more likely to vote and become a significant voice in her community and government. When women are in government, corruption reduces by 50%.

2:50pm Monday 7th July 2014
By David Pritchard
MICHAEL Appleton says he has no immediate plans to make changes to Oxford United's coaching staff.
The 38-year-old began his job as head coach this morning, meeting the players and media for the first time since being officially appointed by new chairman Darryl Eales and chief executive Mark Ashton to replace Gary Waddock on Friday.
There was immediately speculation Appleton would bring in an assistant, with Darren Moore, who was his right hand man at Blackburn Rovers, linked with a move.
United potentially have room to add to their staff, with Andy Melville leaving as first-team coach in May.
Appleton was clear no-one would depart, but while he did not rule out Moore, the new United boss will take his time.
He said: "I think Darren is always going to get mentioned because of my background with him as a player and a friend.
"He's someone I took from West Brom to go to Blackburn, so he will always get mentioned.
"He would be on a list of many people that I could bring in if that was the case.
"Nothing's been done and I wouldn't be in a rush to do anything like that.
"There's more than capable staff here already to get us through this period.
"When I get time to assess everything, if I feel we need to add then we will add, but it certainly won't be to replace anyone."
Appleton has not had a permanent role since being sacked by Blackburn Rovers in March 2013 and is thrilled to have a new challenge.
He said: "I'm delighted, excited is probably the word.
"It's a fantastic job to have and I hope to hone my skills."
He added: "I genuinely believe this is the right place for me.
"I've been having positive conversations with Darryl and Mark, they are very ambitious people."
"They were very good at selling the club to me.
"You've only got to look around the facilities here, they're spot on for this level.
"It's a small group of players but they're young and it will be refreshing to work with a group of players that will show an honesty, a hunger and belief to do well."
The former Manchester United trainee will begin the search for new signings straight away.
His first game in charge comes on Saturday, when the U's kick-off their pre-season at Farnborough.

My Little visitor on my Satsuma
Orange dogs were here a couple of weeks ago. A true beauty and the beast.
Bummer. This is one of those difficult situations. Do you leave it and let it eat away at the leaves so it can become a beautiful Swallowtail butterfly, or, well, do you dispatch with it? I saw my first Swallowtail butterfly in my yard yesterday, we don't normally seem to have them here where I live. Mainly Monarchs (which defoliate my Asclepias, but that's what I plant Asclepias for), and the Gulf Frittilary (which defoliate my passaflora, but again, I plant several varieties, so we can "share", lol!) But, I think I might draw the line on my citrus. Haven't found one of these, yet, but no doubt they're in my yard, too.
Patty S.
These spectacular butterflies (largest in NA) will only use certain plants in the Rutaceae family. This includes all citrus as well as such plants as prickly ash, Hercules club, hop tree, and others.
I grow seedling citrus expressly to enjoy the life cycle so I can speak with experience when I say that even one of these interesting caterpillars can do some damage to a SMALL tree. It's a big guy.....they eat a lot.
I can also tell you that they have many natural enemies....birds, wasps (who will actively seek and hunt for caterpillars amongst the foliage), assassin bugs, mantids, and more.
Have you 'petted ' that caterpillar, yet? You've got to do that!

I would suggest just plugging it in and then decide whether those CDs are required or not.
It seems like the CDs in question are either installation CD (for backup) or additional software CD. Typically a computer should have some kind of process once you log into windows that walk you through the installation of such stuff, if necessary.
Hope this helps.

Clinical supervision at the point of care has a significant impact of patient safety. This CPD/CME accredited webinar will discuss communication and other issues on clinical supervision.
Obtaining consent is a complex subject and situations may arise which make obtaining it more difficult. The law recognises that a medical practitioner has a duty to provide sufficient information for the patient to make an informed decision and to warn a patient of any material risk inherent in any procedure. However, cultural and language issues, patient expectations, emotional or religious concerns and pregnancy are some of the aspects that can complicate the process. A patient's health and condition can also limit their ability to comprehend the big picture and consider alternatives.
Social media is a way to educate, collaborate, and market health information. There is a need to understand its risks, benefits, and how it can be best leveraged to benefit both the clinician and patients.
Planning for your retirement involves consideration of many aspects of your practice and is as important as planning for your career. Understanding what is required from a professional and medico-legal perspective can help in making the transition from 'practice to private life' a smooth one.
Establishing effective performance management systems can have significant benefits for hospitals and practices, more satisfied, more motivated, and better performing staff. However the boundary between appropriate performance management and bullying can be easily crossed by managers and supervisors who do not have a clear idea of their responsibilities or where there is a mismatch between communication styles.
