- Description:
Good Afternoon to All,
I trust that your early part of the year has been good for you. I have been recovering from a knee replacement surgery for the last few months. We have been busy though since the Lakeway Amateur Radio Club (LARC) hamfest was January 5 this year and I went, along with Randall Smith KI4OAS TN SEC and Chuck Talley KJ4KVC DEC D-10, to support the renewal of the event and at a new location this year. It was well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We thank not only the amateurs from Morristown but all from East TN who stopped by to talk with as well as those new and renewing ARRL memberships.
We will be traveling to more hamfests this year than last. Some of the early venues will be the MTARS hamfest in Tullahoma – March 9, Ides of March hamfest in Union City – March 23, Memphis FreeFest in Bartlett – April 13 C.A.T.S. Tail-Gate Party Clarksville - May 4, and the RACK Hamfest (Tennessee State Convention) in Knoxville June 8. As you can see, only traveling to hamfests will keep us busy. Club visits, and other conferences add to the agenda as well. I look forward to seeing you and meeting you during travels this year.
The Tennessee Section is very close to having 3,500 members. As of January of this year the membership stood at 3,370 members. I am not sure if that is a record or not but the section has steadily increased thanks to your efforts. I believe that with your help, the section could top 4,000 members by the end of the year.
Last weekend was the ARRL International DX Contest. I hope that you had the opportunity to participate. If you have just started your amateur hobby, and have an interest in DX, last weekend was a great time to be on the air. If you were working on your DXCC, you had a great weekend to get it off the ground. For those who have been chasing DX for a good while, I hope you were able to work stations you needed.
Recognition of service is a large part of thanking you for your efforts to extend and enhance our hobby. It is only by your willingness to help, experiment and teach others that we are able to share amateur radio with our youth and others. Many teach classes, others like to experiment with new modes of operation, others like to help spread the work about the excitement of our hobby – "we call them public information officers." There are awards to recognize all of these efforts from the ARRL. Recently I received an email requesting nominations for the following awards that reads in part:
Each year the ARRL Board of Directors has the opportunity to select recipients for a number of awards in various categories that honor Amateur Radio operators.
The nomination period is now open for the ARRL awards that are designed to recognize educational, technological and service pursuits in Amateur Radio. There is also an award to honor a young Amateur Radio operator. Please log onto www.arrl.org/arrl-award-nominations for specific details and information on how to nominate or submit supporting endorsements.
The ARRL Herb S. Brier Instructor of the Year Award is awarded to an ARRL volunteer Amateur Radio instructor or to an ARRL professional classroom teacher who uses creative instructional approaches and models the highest values of the Amateur Radio community. The award has been focused to reflect quality of instruction and commitment to licensing instruction. Nominations should be received by March 15, 2013, to be considered for this year.
The Hiram Percy Maxim Award is for a licensed radio amateur under age 21 (and an ARRL member) whose accomplishments and contributions are of the most exemplary nature within the framework of Amateur Radio activities. Nominations for this award need to be made through your Section Manger (see page 16) who will then forward the nomination to ARRL Headquarters by March 31, 2013.
The ARRL Microwave Development Award is presented to a licensed radio amateur or to individuals who are licensed radio amateurs and contribute to the development of the Amateur Radio microwave bands. The nomination deadline is March 31, 2013.
The ARRL Technical Service Award recognizes a licensed radio amateur or individuals who are licensed radio amateurs that provide Amateur Radio technical assistance or training to others. The nomination deadline is March 31, 2013.
The ARRL Technical Innovation Award is granted to a licensed radio amateur or to individuals who are licensed radio amateurs who develop and apply new technical ideas or techniques in Amateur Radio. The nomination deadline is March 31, 2013.
The Knight Distinguished Service Award was established to recognize exceptionally notable contributions by an ARRL Section Manager to the health and vitality of the League.

You may also contact Steve Ewald, WV1X, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 860-594-0265 at ARRL Headquarters.

Dr. Stephen E. Lankenau is a sociologist who combines public health concerns and ethnographic methods to the study of high-risk youth, out- of-treatment drug users, homelessness, and HIV/AIDS. Currently, he is studying prescription drug misuse among young people in Los Angeles and New York to describe patterns of initiation, risk and protective behaviors, and other unanticipated health consequences. He is also leading evaluation studies of overdose prevention programs in Los Angeles and Philadelphia to determine programs that effectively reduce the risks of fatal drug overdoses. Two of these studies are funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). He teaches graduate courses that apply qualitative methods to the study of public health issues. Dr. Lankenau received a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and a postdoctoral fellowship funded by NIDA. He has held faculty appointments at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine.
Evaluation of Overdose Prevention Programs for Injection Drug Users: (Principal Investigator) This study will investigate changes in overdose response and other drug-related health behaviors among injection drug users (IDU) participating in two overdose prevention programs in Los Angeles. Data from the study will be collected as part of an existing protocol to document behaviors in response to witnessed overdoses and circumstances precipitating requests for refills of naloxone, a legal opioid antagonist prescribed by heroin overdose prevention programs (OPP). In-depth interviews will explore rationales for and barriers to enrolling in overdose prevention training, effects of training participation, differences between training programs, and effects of participating in an overdose rescue.
Non-Medical Prescription Drug Use Among High-Risk Youth: (Principal Investigator) This study will compare high-risk youth in New York and Los Angeles who are currently engaged in non-medical prescription drug use. Substantial evidence suggests that the diversion of prescription drugs for non-medical use accounts for a rapidly increasing share of substances of abuse among high-risk youth and young adult populations. The study is designed to help inform the development of a curriculum for community-based organizations aimed at reducing such drug use among youth who are at risk for negative health outcomes, including drug dependence, drug overdose, violence, victimization, and exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

I am confounded by my wife's refusal to consider intergrating life extension into her lifestyle. I have been trying to get her to pursue life extension for over 10 year now, but she still seems complacent. I am worried about her faltering health. She had a minor ischemic stroke recently, but still won't change her diet, supplement, nor will she exercise. It's not that she doesn't believe life extension is valid, she just doesn't want to put in the effort I guess. What can I do? I am such a freak about these things. How can two married people have such differing views on this? She would kill me if she knew I was posting this. I feel like such a rat.

Tomorrow is the day. We're flying out on Condor at 6pm and will be in Frankfurt nine hours later. We will then spend the night in Frankfurt and fly out the next day to spend most of our time in the UK visiting family and general sight-seeing. We are 99.9% packed with the remaining .1% being last minute things we will take care of tomorrow. Tanya has done an amazing job planning for the trip and I think it's a talent she could market somehow.
We are leaving behind my laptop this time and all I will have is my Blackberry. Twitter is easy enough to update but I doubt I'll be making any blog posts. I've discovered tumblr so I'll try and upload a few shots with my Blackberry as I can.
Departure day is always fun.

Behind an average-looking storefront on Coursey Boulevard is an outdoor kitchen paradise.
A visitor passes a vanguard of hot tubs, all on and churning, then a row of sparkling, glazed Kamado grills, each on its own platform. Then, on a warm spring day, a distracting gust of cool air from an outdoor air conditioner beckons to an outdoor kitchen paradise.
Dozens of villas, laced together by beautiful landscaped, raked-gravel paths, display gleaming grills, all of which are hot and ready for food. Taps set into granite countertops mean cold beer's ready to drink in the kegerator. All of this is the domain of Jason Stutes, chief marketing officer of Shopper's Choice, which operates http://www.shopperschoice.com and an array of specialty outdoors websites, including http://www.bbqguys.com. Motto: We smoke the competition.
"I call it passionate entertaining," Stutes said as he navigated between the villas, showing off patio furniture, outdoor televisions, misting fans, fireplaces, warming drawers, outdoor pizza ovens and more. "We encourage our customers to come out here and actually cook. When they come out here, it's literally two hours."
While Shopper's Choice sells a variety of grills, the gas grills that grace their outdoor kitchens are the centerpieces of the operation.
One grill, made by DCS, boasts a grease management system that has tilted grates to funnel grease from grilled meats away from the heat, which comes from ceramic rods for even heating. Another grill has a remote control and a button that raises and lowers the hood. In all, Shopper's Choice showcases 50 brands of grills. The company will also launch its own line of grills, called Blaze, in June.
In the middle of this barbecue paradise, Shoppers Choice's Chef Tony Matassa is grilling up stuffed burgers. He works the ground meat into fat patties with quick, deft motions. It's clear he's had some practice.
"Ground chuck is definitely my preference," he said, picking up a baseball-sized chunk of meat. "It has more of that sirloin flavor that people associate with steak."
He makes a depression in each patty, then stuffs it with shredded mozzarella, basil, Parmesan, salt, pepper and olive oil. The finished burgers will be topped with a tomato basil relish.
Matassa also prefers gas grills to charcoal. "You push a button, you light it up, and you go," he said.
To ensure the perfect burger, Matassa says you set up your grill with a hot side and a warm side. The burgers are first seared on the hot side, then cooked to desired doneness on the warm side. Shoppers Choice also offers a range of grilling accessories, including things like the iGrill, a Bluetooth meat thermometer that syncs up with an app on your smartphone. The store also hosts cooking classes every other Friday.
Across town at the Hilton Capital Center, the Viking Cooking School Outdoors also fires up their grills overlooking the Mississippi River for classes.
"We're the first Viking Cooking School Outdoors in the country," said Nikki Tanner, the Hilton's sales and marketing assistant. "We do sushi classes, Mediterranean classes, Thai. Everything you can imagine, on the grill."
Their classes also include a full meal, and the school sells Viking accessories, such as grill surface thermometers, grill baskets, and tongs.
On a recent Friday night, several couples gathered on the hotel's pool terrace for a Vegas Steakhouse class. The class, divided into three teams, cooked a menu of Filet Mignon With Three Sauces, a Black Pepper Horseradish Zabaglione, a Porcini Bè arnaise, and a Gorgonzola Mascarpone Sauce; Guanciale Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Shiitake Mushrooms. Chefs Matt Brewton and Raine Bayyan made the Caesar Salad With Homemade Croutons and Peanut Butter Pie With Chocolate Sauce ahead of time.
"Anything you can cook in your kitchen, we can cook here, I promise," Brewton said to the class. "This is the first time in your life you get to cook and not clean and measure anything out."
Each station had trays, cutting boards, knives and ingredients ready to go. As the dishes piled up, the chefs deftly swept both food and students to and fro, teaching things like knife skills, cooking techinques, food safety and food handling skills.
Heather Moret said that between she and her husband, Stephen, she does the cooking.
"He can't boil water," she said. "I mean it."
Allison and Tom Davis were celebrating their eighth anniversary at the class. Allison said a co-worker told her about the classes.
Her husband, who does most of the cooking, made the bè arnaise.
"My great-aunt had a great recipe for artichokes and hollandaise," he said, whisking away at the emulsion of egg and butter. "I'm going to have to dig it out. I'm not afraid to try it now."
Kristin and Brett de Baroncelli live in Mandeville, but Brett works in Baton Rouge. Kristin drove in and met him at the class.
"I'm ready to do everything," she said as she decided whether to help with the roasted mushrooms or the mashed potatoes.
Breweton and Bayyan also pointed out the ways that cooking al fresco is a little different than in your home.
"Season a little more than what you're used to," he said as the class prepared their filets for the grill. "You're going to lose seasoning when you slap it on the grill."
Other differences were that heat adjustments had to be made depending on the wind. And, when the class needed herbs like lemon thyme or basil, Bayyan just walked over to the garden and clipped some.
Of course, there was also the noise of traffic going over the I-10 bridge, music floating on the breeze from downtown's Live After Five, and the occasional chug-chug of tugboats making their way up or down the Mississippi River. As the sun slipped behind the west bank's trees, the class sat down for dinner.
After all the dishes were passed around, for the first time all night, the group was silent. The only noise from the Hilton's pool terrace was the clink of silverware — the sound of a good meal.

Estee Lauder & Derek Lam Spring 2013 Show
If you're obsessed with New York Fashion Week, then you probably caught the Derek Lam show this past Sunday, September 9, 2012. His bold cuts, prints, and colors were complimented by the beauty of course. It was all courtesy of Estee Lauder for the sixth consecutive season.
15 makeup artists where led by Estée Lauder's Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux. They created a fresh spring look on 30 models. Jin Soon Choi, a famous manicurist, and her team polished their nails with NEW Estée Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in So Vain (launching March 2013).
Take a look below and then check out the Q&A with Tom Pecheux. I also have a list of all the products they used for this look!
QA with Tom Pecheux-Backstage at the Derek Lam Spring 2013 Show
How would you describe the make-up look for this show?
Very feminine, very elegant, but very discreet. It's very pastel, I will call it, "aqua color". You discover the subtle color, the subtle shimmer, little by little. It's a make-up for a woman who is very self confident, who likes to be made up, who likes to be sophisticated, who is playful, but also who likes to be discreet.
How did the clothing influence the look?
When you are a makeup artist and you work for a fashion show, of course you work with a designer, the most important things are the clothes, but at the end it's women who are wearing the clothes, so the overall look is important. Clothes, hair, make-up, accessories and since for this season the collection is very luxurious and colorful, it was important to keep the makeup in the same mood but in a very subtle and gentle way. I didn't want the woman to become too colorful, too playful, too much. We like elegance, we don't like to "show off."
Would you say it's an understated look?
The look is pretty minimal. What you see looks minimal, but the work is not and that's because we work on every part of the face. The only thing we didn't use, which most women do, is mascara. Everything else is there. Skin care, foundation, concealer, lipstick, shimmer, contour, eyebrow, eye-shadow – so the result looks minimal, but the work is not.
How long have you been working with Derek?
For about 10 years.
What is it like to work with him?
It is getting better and better because we have become good friends outside of work. We know each other and we understand each other, and he makes it very easy. You know when you are close to people, you can speak truly: "I like, I don't like, I think it's not quite there yet". When you like people, you want to please the people you work with and we are both very happy to work together. And of course, if I can help Derek in any way to make his woman more beautiful and to complete his collection I am thrilled to be there.
So there is a lot of trust?
How does it work with Derek? How much direction does he tend to give you?

Hello whoever's listening.
I wanted to let you guys know that my show, "Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous" will finally be airing May 2nd at 1030pm on MTV. It's something that I've been working on for a long time now and I'm very proud of it. There's a lot to be made fun of when it comes to young people's desperate need to be famous, and to be able to do it on MTV — the place where many of those needs are cultivated — is lots of fun (and MTV was very nice to have a sense of humor about itself).
Lately, a lot of people have been asking me if I died or stopped doing comedy. I've been working a lot over the last few years, but I know it seems like I've just disappeared since officially released anything since "words, words, words." But I have no want to flood you with half-baked content just to "stay relevant." I'd rather release things when I feel that they're worthy of your attention. If it takes a few years, that's fine.
But those few years are up! I'm finally done writing my new hour of comedy. I'll tour that soon(ish) and then record the special.
A lot of great comics have started to release material much more frequently (louis ck being the best example: doing a new hour every year). I think if you can do that, more power to you. That's amazing. But for me, this last hour was made by a lot of banging my head against the wall and a long process of re-writing and going into the studio and re-writing again. I wanted this new special to be as different from "words, words, words" as "words, words, words" was to my first CD (which was a collection of my YouTube songs) — so that took a decent amount of time. I really hope you guys enjoy the new material. Surprising you and making you think is much more important to me than feeding you dick joke songs until I'm dead (THE SPECIAL STILL HAS PLENTY OF DICK JOKES AND SONGS!).
I also I'm finishing up my poetry book that should be coming out this fall. It's full of vulgar, silly, sweet and weird poems and illustrations. Should be a fun little read while you're taking a shit or avoiding your significant other.
But yes, just wanted to update you guys. I hope you enjoy the TV show when it comes out. And the special when it comes out. And the book when it comes out. You do not need to buy any of them. There are plenty of ways to steal nowadays if you know how to use a computer.

Boys [should be] inured from childhood to trifling risks and slight dangers of every possible description, such as tumbling into ponds and off of trees, etc., in order to strengthen their nervous system... They ought to practice leaping off heights into deep water. They ought never to hesitate to cross a stream over a narrow unsafe plank for fear of a ducking. They ought never to decline to climb up a tree, to pull fruit merely because there is a possibility of their falling off and breaking their necks. I firmly believe that boys were intended to encounter all kinds of risks, in order to prepare them to meet and grapple with risks and dangers incident to man's career with cool, cautious self-possession... —R.M. Ballantyne, The Gorilla Hunters
Welcome to Ballantyne the Brave. My name is Joshua Titus Phillips and I am the Director for BTB. I am a young man, eighteen years old, who for more than 10 years has enjoyed reading historical boys' literature. My own literary journey has brought me through more than ninety books by G.A. Henty and numerous works of the great Christian author R.M. Ballantyne, to whom this website is dedicated. I have also had the honor of serving as a regular guest on San Antonio's KSLR radio broadcast to discuss historical boys' literature.
When I started reading Ballantyne's boys' stories, I was barely ten years old. After reading my very first Ballantyne book, The Coral Islands, I was amazed! I thought to myself: "This is what every boy must be reading." Here was an author who taught boys to be strong, vigorous, and courageous, but he did so in the context of a Christian world view and pure faith in Jesus Christ. Ballantyne takes boys to the four corners of the earth on amazing adventures, and the Gospel message is an important part of his stories.
It was another Scotsman, Robert Louis Stevenson, who coined the phrase "Ballantyne the Brave." He did this to honor Ballantyne for his bold vision of manhood — a vision which influenced Stevenson himself.
Ballantyne recognized the importance of Christian adventure literature for the boys of his generation. He was a remarkable Christian adventurer in his own right who traveled the world, and dedicated his life to giving young men a treasure trove of wonderful stories. More than a hundred years later Ballantyne's books remain timely and inspiring.
My research revealed that Ballantyne's books were fabulously popular in the 19th and early 20th century. But this led me to wonder why Ballantyne's books were not more readily available from publishers today. The more I researched the more I realized that modern critics and publishers object to Ballantyne's overt Christianity and his vigorous manhood — the very two elements which make Ballantyne great.
That is when my father and I began a project of finding creative ways to introduce this important literature to the boys of the 21st century. The first approach was to get the books republished. Then in January of this year, I approached my father with the idea for this website. He loved it.
We believe that there are many things competing for the attention of young men. Unfortunately, much of it is unhealthy. The other issue is that boys are not exposed to good things which build them up as future men. The result is a generation of weak boys who lack focus and vision. Another part of the problem is that too many are fearful about presenting manly, Christian stories to young men. It is not just secular publishers but also Christians who have lost the vision to train boys up to be manly. In the absence of good preaching, good examples, and good literature, many boys are taught by our culture to believe that effeminacy and wimpiness are virtues. This is wrong! Something must be done to reverse this trend.
Now, a number of young men (myself included) have come together under the guidance of our fathers to work toward the restoration of courageous Christian boyhood all over the world.
John Horn, sixteen years of age, is one of these men. Starting in August, 2009, John will be the new Managing Editor for BTB. John Horn is a friend and a first rate chap who shares the vision for both Henty and Ballantyne. As Managing Editor, John is responsible for overseeing the greater part of this site. He will be writing blog posts, updating articles, and answering questions. John has spent untold hours researching R.M. Ballantyne and has gathered a great amount of information on Ballantyne's time in Canada.
John is also an expert on G. A. Henty's books, having read 60+ over the last seven years. Like myself John has read and enjoyed many other great historical authors of fiction and non-fiction ever since he first learned to read. Authors such as J. F. Cooper, Jules Verne, and R.L. Stevenson.
As soon as he read his first book by Ballantyne, The Coral Island, he began to enjoy, appreciate, and understand the investment which has been given to us. John feels that the boys of this generation have been given a heroic literary heritage, which must be benefited from – and added to for our own children.
John's mission is to take "Ballantyne the Brave" to the next level – that means expanding the scope of our discussion to many more authors, in-depth research, and even more thought-provoking commentary. We also want to have more hard-hitting commentary on subjects of importance to boys in the modern day. We hope to receive more book reviews, and more commentary on 19th century literature from our readers.
John and I both believe that the time is ripe for a revival of Christ-honoring heroic and courageous boys literature. BallantyneTheBrave.com is dedicated to this purpose. It's time to begin changing the culture!
—J.Titus P.

Fighters of the Libyan National Transitional Council have opened to the general public the People's Museum in Tripoli, once home to King Idris until he was ousted by Colonel Muammar Qaddafi in 1961.
The palace was transformed by the Qaddafi family into a semi-private showcase of the Libyan history, mostly meant to impress foreign guests.
Each room provides a historical glimpse of Libya, such as ethnic handiwork from rural areas and Roman era marble.
Other rooms display impressive designs boasting renewable energy and bio-architecture, when the sun drenched North African nation lacks facilities to take advantage of solar energy and has no efficient waste removal system.
The Green Book Room was created for visitors to have an audio visual explanation of Muammar Qaddafi's political philosophy, which provides an alternative theory to capitalism and communism.

This Is Very Bad
July 29, 2004, 07:49:22 AM »
I am ENRAGED after seeing this site! Let me show you how wrong it is why you should not listen.*I am a God Fearing Christian mind you*
Part 1:Why NP is a Child of santa and the proof.
Part 2:Why RPGs are good
Part 3:How NP is actually a Nazi if you check Game of Love
Part 4:Negative Christians:santaists who pose as Christians
Part 5:Live by Jesus' commandment "Love one another as I have loved you"
Part 6:Many easyways to ignore the people who drive our religion and others to hell
Part 7:My final message to the real good Christians
Part 8:The pain and suffering caused by NP and others like him
Part 1:Why NP is a Child of santa and proof
NP is ruining our religion! He is spreading lies and deceit and cant measure up to a true Christian.People like NP cause pain and suffering in our world by starting these arguments.Here are some reasons why he is evil:
1:"All female RPG players are lesbians!* That is a falsehood.You have offended many and broke a commandment by saying that incorrect opinion disquised as a 'fact'.
2:"RPGs lead people to cults" That is a falsehood too.Drugs and rejects go to cults.Rejects search for acceptance and God knows what those drug doing people are thinking.
3:"..Negros and other inferior races to us" That is racial.DId Jesus not say to love everyone? Yes he did.
4"THey TRY TO CAST SPELLS! please read Confessions of a Dungeons and Dragons addict.It was written by a Christian and it has a Negative Christian who poses as a local priest who turns a non believer who was going to Christianity into an atheist because he said he was of the devil for playing D&D.This person that they PRETEND to cast spells as a JOKE
5:"THE NETHERLANDS IS THE COUNTRY OF santa!!!!" Once again you have proved to many that you cannot control the anger and hatred inside you.That is false.They are non believers that need hope.Some people there can be kind and good people
6:"ALL WHO RP GO TO HELL!!* Once again you are guvung us much proof that you are a radical and irrational.Think about it.You are NOT God so you dont know who is going to hell.You might be and if you ask me you are.
7:"HITLER IS A GOOD CHRISTIAN" Oh and are you going to say the mophia members were too? You are a Nazi and that is rock solid proof.This remark is on THe Game of Love page and it is spelled Hilter.You cannot hide your blasphemy with typos! The Lord will see! *Mocking him however I am still a God fearing Christian mind you.I was trying to be funny yet it is still true*
8:"IF YOU READ THE HANDBOOK OF D&D BACKWARDS IT HAS DEMONIC WORDS!!" Shom me proof.Im dying to see some proof and I bet the Lord is too.You have none and it proves you cannot get any for there is none on your page.
9:"BARNEY IS OF santa!!" Are you serious? Honestly? LOL!! That is the most tripe piece of crap I have ever heard.
10:"RONALD MCDONALD IS santa!!" Read 9.
11:"RAP AND HIP HOP ARE OF santa!!" I must admit I am not a fan of that.I only listen to Japanese music however I disagree with that.Ask a teen about it.
12:"MARVEL COMICS ARE OF santa!!" That is a lie too.It is all fake.Its MAKE BELIEVE!!! NOT REAL!! Please understand that.I know the Lord does.
13:"CHILDREN STAB THEMSELVES WHEN THEY FIGHT OVER POKEMON CARDS!!" You have an evil mind my enemy.You have NO PROOF.This is crap!
Need I go on?
Part 2:Why RPGs are good.
Part 1 of Part 2:Boardgame RPGs
Part 2 of 2:Video Game RPGs.
Part 1 of 2:B.RPGS
RPGs are stories which you can act out.When reading a fantasy novel I doubt you never said "I like that guy! He/She is cool!".RPGs were made so you can PRETEND to be said character.As I have said before,read THe Confessions of a Dungeons and Dragons addict if you wish to know more.Concerning the suicides and the murders done by its players,they were most likely A:Doing drugs,B:Had mental problems,C:Had a serious addictive personality, or D:Were being told by santa and his demons that it was the way and you should kill people.D&D is not responsible,the parents and the children are.
Part 2 of 2:Video Game RPGs
Ah the main target of radical illogical people.The two main 'flaws'
1:Religion:We think other religions are evil and we attack them.
That is the flaw of Catholisim.We are not doing what Jesus wants.He did not want us to attack others.THe people of the east dont think our religion is right*I believe they will still go to heaven for they did not know.Some people in the east believe in God mind you*so they treat our religion as we treat theirs:Fake. They found it interesting and used it in their games.They arent attacking us.They are just using historical gods and creatures*They condsider our God a fake but that does not mean they arent good people.They dont want violence and such.Im sure they want peace on Earth like us* in their games because they found them interesting.This is a theory.I have another one:
They are promoting Catholicisim.If you play games such as Xenogears they are killing a false idol refered to as a god*That is pure logic* and the people follow it without question*Once again it is logic to call it 'god' in the game'.
Another is Final Fantasy Tactics which has you killing a being known as Altima*A santa like demon* and his minions who posess many religious leaders in the game*The religion of Ajora is like the Feudal church before the reformation* and your mission as the hero is to kill these demons who feed on the evil in ones soul.They posess them through stones which were the evil in the game.The hero is branded a heritic but did that stop him from bringing peace? NO. In the end Ajora posesses Alma who has a stone and is corrupted thus releasing Altima who you kill but you die in the game too.
2:Magic:Its pretend.We arent supposed to do it in the real world and the authors know that.They just create fantasy worlds were you can and the games also have great storylines which bring joy to millions.
Another thing overlooked when playing an RPG is the MUSIC.Let me just tell you about the music in FF.It is great.It is about true love and I shall give you lyrics to some of the songs.
Melodies of Life Lyrics from FFIX
"Alone for a while ive been searching through the dark for traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart.To weave by picking up the pieces that remain.Melodies of Life-Loves lost refrain.Our paths they did cross though I cannot say just why.We met,we laughed,we held on fast,and then we said goodbye.And who'll hear the echos of stories never taught? Let them ring out loud till they unfold.In my dearest memories,I see you reaching out to me.Though you're gone,I still believe that you can call out my name.A voice from the past,joining yours and mine.Adding to the layers of harmony.And so it goes,on and on.Melodies of Life.To the sky beyond the flying bird,forever and beyond.So far and away,see the bird as it flys by.Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky.Ive laid my memories and dreams upon those wings.Leave them now and see what tomarrow brings.In your dearest memories,do you remeber lovin' me? Was it fate that brought us close and that leaves me behind? A voice from the past,joining yours and mine.Adding to the layers of harmony.And so it goes,on and on.Melodies of Life.To the sky beyond the flying bird,forever and beyond.If I should leave this lonely world behind,your voice will still remember out melody.Now I know that we'll carry on.Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts,as long as we remember....."
How the heck is THAT santaic?
Isnt it wonderful?*Suteki Da Ne* from FFX
"My heart was swimming in words left by the wind.My voice bounded by a cloud carried tomarrow.My heart trembled in the moon swayed mirror.Soft tears spilled with a stream of stars.Isnt it beautiful? If we could walk,hand in hand,Id want to go to your town in your arms.I dream of being against your chest my body in your keeping disappearing into the evening.Words halted by wind are a gentle illusion.A tomarrow torn by clouds is the voice of a distant past.My heart that had been in a moon blurred flowed by those stars that trembled and spilled cannot hide my tears.Isnt it beautiful? If we could walk,hand in hand.Id want to go to your town in your arms.My dream of your face that I softly touch melts in the morning"
I was moved to tears.I am upset if you still think those games are santaic.Very upset.VERY UPSET.If you arent convinced I have another...
However I am getting bored so e-mail me if you want the lyrics as more proof.
Part 3:NP and Nazis
Put Game of Love in your Searchbox and look at the final sentence....proof.They just called him Hilter.
Part 4:Negative Christians
Negative Christians are people who attack things without proof and insult people who arent in there religion are these people.Please stay away from them
Part 5:Jesus' commandment
As you have seen,this np is a racist.He said whites are better than blacks.Didnt Jesus himself give the commandment"Love others as I have loved you?" YES HE DID! This means you should love people no matter what their religion,sex,or race is.
Part 6:Ways to avoid people like this man.
Read what I said and what others said.Listen to the pope too.Christians might not go by him but he is very wise in these matters.
Part 7:My message to the real Christians.
God loves all his children however if they decide to follow santa they do not go to heaven unless they change their ways by you good Christians.Good Christians and N-Christians are very similar so dont get confused.They both try to sway others into believing God however the N Christian's version of God is bad....dont follow that group.Follow the right one.They are the left and we are the right.Thay is what I think Jesus meant when he said that.....
Part 8:Pain Caused by NP and other N-Christians is the arguments they start.Not all who start arguments against things are N-Christians but if you have no proof,attacking almost everything like NP does.I suggest you pray to the Lord that he has mercy on you monsters that are causing much pain and suffering.I am a victim of Np's ways and the ways of others like him.I was almost driven to insanity and I almost converted to Atheisim.*Atheisim is not bad mind you.They are people too no matter what you say*I was crying in my bed and in the bath as these things came to mind...what if? what if he is right? What then? For those who are going through pain like I did I hope this helps.I am praying for the N Christians too.......may the Lord help this dying insane world.
My Email adress is lXlFinal
me if you have questions about other games or if you want the lyrics to the other song! Remember,think what would Jesus do and live each day as if it was a test to see how kind and generous you are and how many lives you can touch!

I have recently checked the site again and it says things such as THIS RPER SAID THIS TO ME!!! *ropelayers are sold to santa!" I want proof sir! I WANT PROOF! THE TRUTH MUST BE REVEALED!!! That quote was most likely from you NP and I know it is.DOnt deny it you awful monster.And this is what someone else like you would say:YOU DONT HAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ON YOUR PAGE!!!! DEMON DEMON!!! BURN!!!
I am not going to give said persons name on here but email me if you want it.Bikinis are bad and with that I agree but they are not santaic in MY book! You sound like a fool my good sir.You claim that these things are santaic however did you ever play the good ones? NO.And yes they do have revival spells...they are not to be taken seriously trust me on this one.They are NOT saying"Hey you dudes you can revive people!" It is obvious you cant.Use common sense.And in the games I play it is called KO not death so they arent really reviving them even though the spell is indeed called Life,Life2,and Life3.These things are in a FAKE world aka ANIMATED BOOK or ect and are not to be taken seriously!Let me tell you something np.....Good can be corrupted.Its true and everyone knows that.santa is putting these ideas in the teens minds and ruining the reputation of RPGs.That is my opinion.And after reading the webs' title no opinions are always correct so there cannot be correct opinions.That is another thought of santa.
This is God's message:LOVE AND PEACE!! LOVE AND PEACE!!! LOVE AND PEACE!!
Your message:WE ARE BETTER THAN THE OTHERS!!! WE ARE BETTER!! THEY WILL GO TO HELL AND I WONT AND YOU WONT EITHER IF YOU BELIEVE MY santaic IDEAS!!!
My message:Please listen to the Lord on this one.I believe in his message.
You,my enemy,are extremely santaic and look at my earlier post to see all the proof.Everyone check NP's Game of santa page for more evidence against him! He actually GAVE us evidence to use against him! How childish...
RPGs also have some humor.Here is a quote from FFVI which I found kinda funny and clever:
Sabin:KEFKA WAIT!!!
Kefka:Wait he says....do I look like a waiter?*runs off*
See I am giving you all of this proof against this evil NEGATIVE PERSON.His name should be changed to nc..NEGATIVE CHRISTIAN! I dont care if you dont believe me you evil monster,I know deep within my heart,deep within my soul,that I am right and you are wrong.That is what my conscience is saying......and that is what my parents used to say too.
Use common sense.....dont let this obtuse fool cause any more pain to others like he did to me.........he caused me much pain.......much...pain.He is very bad....very very bad....I cried.I did.This person is very bad.

More Lyrics from these so called "santaic shows" and "santaic games" are here! Email me if you want two more songs:Aria De Mezzo Cattare and 1000 Words!
Negative Person let me just tell you that beautiful touching music is not santaic.If you say it is I will have more things I can use against you.Good always prevails over Evil and I am making sure of that by showing the truth to others......the truth about you.Read my other posts to see the proof.If something can make you shead tears of joy and touch your soul can it be santaic? WOULD GOD EVEN ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!?? IS WHAT MANY HAVE LEARNED ABOUT BEAUTY A LIE?!!!! NO.So I have defended the SquareEnix company from evil NChristians like you,NP.I am going to find more info on the defence of Dungeons and Dragons and when I do...im going to reveal it.Now even I have to sleep so if you will excuse me*yawn* *walks to bed*

You are not a Christian, I presume? You don't even know Björn Hilter, a very well known benefactor of the poor. Lived 1867-1901.
Come now and show them to me!No insults please.Lets keep it clean.
Isn't there an enormous log in your eye?

I am indeed a Christian and yes I have heard of that man,however I do not think that was Hilter you spoke of.From all the pain you caused I believe it is really hitler in disquise and I suggest you read the proof.

Let me just tell you what I some of those things about "Hitler" were about:Im doing exactly what you did.I am making insane claims.Many things in my post are indeed true but recently I have realized exactly what kind of Christian you are,NP.You are not a santaist however you are still bad.You are a Christian and you still believe in the things before the reformation.You are like someone from the Salem Witch Trials.Before the reformation,"Christians" watched with happy looks on their faces as the 'witches' were
killed in an awful way right in front of them.That was not what God wanted.The Christain church was one of the most evil groups in history but in AMerica and other countries it is not anymore.I shall give rock solid proof that you are an olden time Christian who I must say were very bad.
"Negros are inferior to us" NP if you check Jesus' commandment he said"Love one another as I have loved you" You broke it by being a racist.
"Barney is of santa!!!" Yes you and other Olden Christians would agree on that but the Christians of today highly disagree.I can honestly say that whoever said that in America would be given a shocked look by many CHristians and people of other religions such as Catholicisim.
"Ronald McDonald si clearly santa!"Read the earlier statement.And I must say you have no proof.
"Bikinis are of santa!!"Mabey in your mind but not in the minds of others.
"FLAG BURNING IS OF santa!!"I highly disagree with flag burning however it is just to say that you do not like how this country is doing.
"YOU ARE WITH ME OR AGAINST ME!!" Havent you heard of NEUTRAL?That is the thinking of Olden Christians.
"BATHS ARE VERY SINFUL!!" False.Of course you must scrub private places.I mean if you didnt they would become dirty.
"READ THE MANUAL BACKWARDS AND IT HAS santaic WRITING!!" Prove it.
*COncerning the other things in D and D and other things such as revival of dead..
It is not to be taken seriously.As long as you know that you cannot do it in the real would you are fine.It is all make believe."
"ICE HOCKEY IS OF santa!!" THe proof you gave me there isnt rock solid.Please give me real proof.
"WE SAVE WITCHES FROM santa!!" Once again witches are make believe.Did you ever see one shoot a beam of evil out of his/her mouth? NO.Dont even try to say that you did.
"CHILDREN STAB EACHOTHER OVER POKEMON CARDS" No proof.
"NEW NEW NEW!! A ropelayER TOLD ME THIS!!"RPERS ARE SOLD TO santa!!" False.No proof.I bet you even made that up.
As you can see I gave this proof before but in a mad way.I was mad when I wrote this first proof section.You arent santaic NP,your views of CHristianity are just wrong.
I almost forgot! God welcomes everyone to his table so if you are right I will not be going to hell.It is bad if you "Knew it was seriously wrong and did it of your own free will" I do this of my own free will like others and I do not believe it is seriously wrong.Read the lyrics I posted.Those cannot be of santa for santa cannot produce beauty.I know deep down in my soul that I am right...I have a feeling that I must defend what I believe!
NP,Christians like you think you are better than others. Proof:"Negros and other inferior races"We are all God's children,even you.God will frogive you if you are wrong and he will forgive me if I am wrong.If other religions are wrong the followers did not know it was seriously wrong so they are excused.It only matters if you are a good person and you are sorry for your sins either it be at JUdgement Time in heaven or here on Earth.When I first read your GOs I was in much pain and I believe others were as well however I did not remember the conditions of a mortal sin.After reading your webpage over and over again I see that you have proven only one thing-you are one of the Christians that acts as if the reformation never happened.I suggest you try and defend yourself from this proof.I know you cannot and what you say when you defend yourself will have no proof either.I am sure of it.If something brings you true joy it is not santaic.If something makes you cry tears of joy it is not santaic.Please read the lyrics I posted earlier.You will see that you made a generalization like I did before.You are making God seem like an evil ogre and I will tell you why I thought that after you show me some proof that RPGs,Ice hockey,baths,barney,bikinis,elvis,rap,hip hop,black people,and other religions are santaic.

And let me just tell you what I did today:
I have posted many things on the AOL TEENS message board to help people and give free advice.I got an IM from someone that said her father was dying from cancer and she was going to commit suicide because of that,her elder sister was raped,her mother drinks,and that she and her little sister are the only ones taken to church.I thought I was in over my head and that she was going to commit suicide.I told her that God takes her father he is doing it for a reason.His mission was done on this world.I told her that suicide was not the way and that is not what her father would want her to do.Her father died and his final words were"You are all the body of Christ" and we agreed.Her little sister was crying insanely*her sister was 7* and I told her to tell the lyrics from the songs stated earlier which HAPPEN to be from an RPG to her sister and she did however the sister was too young to understand the purpose of the songs.Melodies of Life-Remember the good times you had with that person.He/She might be gone but he/she will always be in your memories.That is the message I got
Isnt it wonderful?-Romantic calming song.
If she knew the melody of the song it would have calmed them down.The person said to me that she was bawling her eyes out and I said to her that tears wont help but prayers will and even though her father is dead they will still help him get to paradise.
She wanted to get her sister to sleep and I told her to cradle her and hum a nice soothing calm sweet song and it worked.After she was leaving the waiting room*she was at the hospital with her Laptop*she thought she saw her father in the fountain and I told her"That was known to happen.Mabey he just wanted to see you one last time"and when she got home her sister woke up and she did the thing she did before.She thanked me a lot and told me I was her new advisor.I told her I was honored.Later on she IMed me again and told me her mother was going to start to go to church with her and her little sister.She was so happy and I told her that there was always a bright side to a tragedy.There were two more people I gave advice to but I am happy about this one the most.God helped me to bring peace and joy.And another thing I found on the post board was a Muslim who told the Christians to please stop dissing his religion and others.When I saw what he said I knew he was a good person because I know he knew insulting ones religion is wrong.I sent an email to him which said I agreed and he was very happy to see I agreed with that.God doesnt want people to cause pain and suffering like NP is doing and he is even claiming he is trying to help but if you see it from my point of view and the point of view of the others who were given pain,he would understand.He would understand the beauty of some RPGs.The lives they helped me to touch.How did they help me again? Final Fantasy has the best music a Videogame RPG can offer.Nobuo Uematsu is a great man who has helped me with his RPG MUSIC.I was once a bad person who didnt care about what I did....then I began to listen to the music from these "santaic" games and "santaic" TV shows and I changed.I wanted to bring peace.I wanted the truth of everything to be exposed even if it meant my death.I wanted to touch many lives.I did recently and I am very happy with my new life and I am not happy with my old one.This is the main reason I am defending this RPG.It helped me understand that we are all special in God's eyes and that anyone can become good*FFIX-the villain understood his faults at the end* It also taught me how evil some people can be.You,NP,are not evil.I understand now.NP,you just have a way too strict and illogical view on Christianity because you most likely dont believe in the reformation.We go by the reformation here in America and we dont really give a (poo-poo) what you do over there in Finland.Surely anticonan and piously-whatever are with you but check how many are with me.Check how many are with me....are with the side that is protecting America's Christians from Olden Day Christians such as yourself.I would have never become a good person and touched that person's life if I didnt play that RPG.If I went with your ways that 13 year old girl would be dead.And I must say I dont give a (poo-poo) if you dont believe me.I know deep down within my soul that this RPG is good.I dont care what you say because I know you are wrong.I just know it.Deep down I know it.God welcomes everyone to his table and Jesus' commandment states"Love one another as I have loved you" That means racists are not following Jesus' law and NP you are a racist.I gave you proof God knows how many times.I know you are wrong and im not going to take any more (poo-poo) from you.I am leaving this post here for all your other victims to see.I hope they understand that you are wrong which I had to find out the hard way.I know I am a good CHristian and I am not going to take more of your half baked insults.I pray that you change NP.I see that you are not a decent Christian now....I shall tell this story to my children when the time comes.I really hope you change and stop putting yourself above others.If you realize your faults here or at Judgement,GOd will forgive you.I am not coming here anymore and I shall warn all about this site.I fight for what I believe and that is not santaic or evil.

The Funny Stuff: Why Bacon Is A Gateway To Meat For Vegetarians
The Serious Stuff: Let me clarify something, by no means is the Whole Life Challenge a weight loss challenge. I know many of you have been operating under that assumption, but I assure you it's not. However, a great potential exists within many of us to shed a few extra pounds by making the simple changes in our lifestyles that the WLC requires. The first thing you must accept is that the weight loss will not happen overnight. For most it will take several weeks for the body to adapt to this 'new' way of eating. Be patient, stay consistent, go easy on the fruits and starchy veggies (ie. sweet potatoes). The weight loss will come with time.

Judge Linda W. Hunter on Thursday dismissed a motion to acquit Derrick Yancey of charges he murdered his wife Linda Yancey and day laborer Marcial Cax-Puluc.
Hunter also threw out the statement of Danita Huff, a friend of Yancey's wife, who said Linda confided that her husband would kill her.
After the prosecution rested its case in DeKalb County Superior Court, Yancey's defense attorney moved to have him acquitted of all charges, saying the state's evidence is circumstantial.
"The blood splatters are only evidence that Yancey rendered aid to his wife," defense attorney Letitia Delan said.
"Also the burden is on the state to disprove Mr. Yancey's self defense claim," Delan said about Yancey's claim he shot Cax-Puluc because the day laborer attempted to take money form Linda Yancey and then killed her.
Assistant District Attorney Ken Hutcherson rebutted, saying the three shots to Cax-Puluc were 10 inches away – instantly paralyzing him – a victim who had no weapon.
Conflicts in evidence, however, were not enough to bring the trial an end.
"Theories are good, but have to be backed up by evidence. Grave suspicion is not sufficient. Ultimately, it's up to the jury to decide what they feel has been proven," Hunter said.
Nor was the evidence enough to allow the alleged statement by Huff.
"I agree with the defense that some inherent trustworthiness is needed here," Hunter said about Huff's testimony.
"The statement was made in a vacuum – blurted out. It's hearsay. I can not permit a statement made nine moths prior to the incident as evidence. It would need to be more probative than the list of experts the state called."
The jury did not hear Huff's statement.
The defense will rest its case tomorrow after calling its remaining two witnesses – one of whom could be Yancey. Closing statements and jury deliberations are also expected to begin Friday.
If found guilty, Yancey—a former DeKalb sheriff's deputy—faces a minimum of two life sentences.

I'm an early bird… for the most part. I like to go to bed early and I like to wake up (relatively) early. The early bird concept usually applies to traveling too. I like to get out of the house early and arrive at my destination as early as possible. But, for the first time in a long time I decided to take a late afternoon Monday flight to a client on the East coast. Birmingham isn't necessarily East coast, but it's close enough. I wasn't a big fan of the idea when I made the reservation and I'm less of a fan now. The original reason for reserving a late flight was due to cost, which was almost 50% more to leave earlier in the day or on Sunday.
Before I get to the reasons for not being a fan of late flights, there were some positives from leaving later. First of all, it allowed me to push off packing until the day of the flight, which made it easier to enjoy the weekend rather than losing a day to do laundry and pack. It also allowed me to work a little during the morning hours, finishing up a few tasks and cleaning my inbox. This was somewhat of a bonus since I rarely work after I arrive at a client following a long travel day. I even managed to wake up earlier than usual on Monday morning and mosey on over to the local Starbucks for a coffee and breakfast, sitting outside the store for a good 15 minutes to relax.
So why am I not a fan of later flights? Because they arrive at the final destination very late! This goes against my early to bed early to rise mantra. I was originally scheduled to arrive in Birmingham at 12:35 AM. The flight was delayed over an hour prior to the first leg of the flight, then changed to depart on-time by the time I landed in Phoenix, then delayed again because the replacement plane didn't arrive from the hanger as scheduled. The flight finally arrived in Birmingham about 35 minutes late. By the time I got back to the hotel it was almost 2 AM, which gave me just under 5 hours of time to sleep. I don't function very well with little sleep, especially when there's a change in time zone involved, two hours in this case between Los Angeles and Birminham. To a lot of people 5 hours might seem like plenty of sleep, but anything less than 7 hours just isn't enough for me. I was surprisingly functional and productive that Tuesday. However, for some reason, Wednesday turned out to be the tougher day.
There's a small side story from the flight itself from Phoenix to Birmingham. The flight was practically empty. There were whole rows of empty seats. I got lucky, sitting in a window seat towards the front of the plane, no one decided to pull up in the aisle seat. However, just across the aisle, there were two men sitting in the aisle / window seats when someone came along requesting to sit in the middle seat. Seriously!!! I'm baffled neither of the two guys already sitting didn't say anything. Sadly, my comfort comes first, I would have said no or moved the first chance I got.
Anyway, after an uneventful week in Birmingham, I'm back in Southern California now and have no plans to travel for business until mid-July. I do have a planned vacation away from work for the week of June 18th, but haven't actually made any plans to do anything that week. Only time will tell what I'll do, but I'm going to enjoy the lack of travel as long as I can.
