When I was at intermediate school, I started to appreciate reading.
First CS Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia". I enjoyed the five different books, with their differing analogies around Aslan the Lion representing Jesus, and the different Children's relationships with him, in good times and bad, even in death.
Later, I began reading Homer's Iliad and Odyssey - two stories about the Trojan war with the Greeks and the return home from that war.
In those stories, I became familiar with the Greek Gods and fate.
As I moved to Secondary School, I learnt more about the Classics, with studies around the Romans and their own interpretation of death, the Republic, the Empire, it's rise and gradual decline.
During my Fourth Form year, my Mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Secondary's in the Lungs and a Brain Tumour that killed her.
I had lost my grandparents on my Dad's side two years before and remembered that dreaded feeling of loss and uncontrollability and helplessness again. I also remember a simmering anger that I learnt to restrain and control.
At this stage of my life, I began reading historical fiction, particularly anything from J.A. Michener, enjoying the different cultural and global settings and gaining a wider understanding from his research and story-telling about how people live and die.
I learnt to control my feelings (or at least force them down) and became more interested in relationships with girls.
Although I was still attending Church, my life and relationship with Jesus left a lot to be desired.
I was still very angry at God, even if I wouldn't have admitted that at the time.
I became increasingly interested in "finding God's will", delving into the bible, but not really wanting to apply it to my life.
At the same time, I was watching a lot of Crime and Murder shows on TV and soft-porn magazines.
My life was very conflicted and things were only going to get worse before they got better, but that's a subject of further blogs.
However there is one thing I have learnt from this period of my life.
What you put into your mind, has a way of building you up or pulling you down.Listen to what the Psalmist writes
There's more: God's Word warns us of danger
and directs us to hidden treasure.
Otherwise how will we find our way?
Or know when we play the fool?
Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh!
Keep me from stupid sins,
from thinking I can take over your work;
Then I can start this day sun-washed,
scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.
These are the words in my mouth;
these are what I chew on and pray. Accept them when I place them
on the morning altar,
O God, my Altar-Rock,
God, Priest-of-My-Altar.
Psalm 19: 11-14 The Message (MSG)
What reading has shaped your identity?What words do you chew on and pray?

The Last Day of the Year: A Christian Reflection on Time
For me, the last day of the year is a reflective time; a time for taking stock of what I am doing with the time allotted to me
How do we view time? Is it a tyrant ruling over us? Or, is it a tutor, teaching us the way to live our lives in this world so that they open into eternity? Christians proclaim a linear timeline in history. There is a beginning and an end, a fulfillment, which is a new beginning. Time is actually heading somewhere. That is as true of the history of the world as it is our own personal histories. Do we live this way?
For me, the last day of the year is a reflective time; a time for taking stock of what I am doing with the time allotted to me.
Human beings have always marked time by significant events. The real question is not whether we will mark time, but how we will do so. What events and what messages are we proclaiming in the calendaring of time?
For the Christian, time is not meant to become a tyrant ruling over us. Rather, it is intended to be a teacher, instructing and presenting us with opportunity and invitations to walk the way of love.
Rather than being dreaded as a foe, it is to be cultivated as a friend. Its role and reach is a part of the redemptive loving plan of God. In the Incarnation, the Eternal Word became flesh; breaking into time to transform it from within.
The Lord who created time, now gives us time as a gift. By entering redemptively into time He removed the curse it held over all men and women by defeating death. In Him, time becomes a field of choice wherein we can grow in holiness, experience true happiness and find real freedom. We can begin to participate in God\'s loving plan to recreate the entire cosmos in and through Jesus Christ.
Time is the road along which this loving plan of redemption proceeds in our individual lives and in the history of this world. We who have been baptized into Christ are invited to participate in this loving plan by living our lives in the Church, the seed of the eternal kingdom. The Church is not some-thing but Some-One into whom we were baptized. The Church is the Body of Jesus Christ. He is the Head of His Body - and we are members. (1 Cor. 12:27)
So, how do we view time? Is it a tyrant ruling over us? Or, is it a tutor, teaching us the way to live our lives in this world so that they open into eternity?
Christians proclaim a linear timeline in history. There is a beginning and an end, a fulfillment, which is a new beginning. Time is actually heading somewhere. That is as true of the history of the world as it is our own personal histories. Do we live this way?
Christians mark time by the great events of the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are moving toward His loving return. We mark our Christian culture with events of importance from the ongoing family events, the history of the Church of which we are members.
The members of that family were birthed from the wounded side of the Savior on the Cross-at Calvary\'s hill. That family was sent on mission when He breathed His Spirit into them at Pentecost.
We remember them, and walk with them, so that we have models and companions for the journey of life. They are that \"great cloud of witnesses\" the author of the letter to the Hebrews discusses. (Hebrews 12: 1-3) They will welcome us into eternity and help us now along the daily path.
Our Catholic liturgical year follows a rhythmic cycle. It points us toward beginnings and ends and, in so doing, emphasizes an important truth that can only be grasped through faith, every end is a beginning.
In our liturgical life, no sooner than we have celebrated the last Sunday of the Year, the feast of Christ the King, we celebrate the First Sunday of Advent, and we prepare for the birth of Savior. Our Christian faith proclaims that Jesus Christ is the \"Alpha\", (the first letter of the Greek alphabet) and the \"Omega\" (the last letter), the beginning and the end. He is the Giver, the Governor and the fulfillment of all time.
So it is with each day of our lives. There is a Divine design. Every morning invites us to begin again. The very structure of the 24 hour cycle of each day reveals the goodness of a God who always invites us - and empowers us - to begin again. Hope is reborn with every sunrise.
Every evening invites our honest reflection, expression of gratitude to the Lord who gave us life, repentance for where we fell short, new choices to amend our life and the healing, rejuvenating rest in the Lord which awaits all who live in Him.
Then, the sun invites us to begin again by saying \"yes\' to the Lord\'s choice and invitation of love. Our time is to be filled with bearing the fruit that remains in the garden of grace called daily living.
These truths concerning time can have ever-increasing meaning for us as we grow in the life of grace. They are meant to change us. They invite us into a deeper walk with the Lord and with one another. It is now up to us to respond to the lessons of time and the invitation of faith.
Life is a classroom for those who are willing to learn and faith opens our eyes and shines light on the way. Let\'s reflect on two of the many lessons.
Every End is a Beginning
As we move from one year to the next, we also move along the in the timeline of human life allotted to each one of us. We age. The certainty of our death is meant to illuminate our life and the certainty of the end of all time and the coming of the Lord is meant to illuminate time\'s very purpose and fulfillment in Christ.
Death can become a second birth for each one of us, through living faith. Francis of Assisi prayed these words in his most popular prayer \"it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.\" He referred to death as a \"sister\" implying that he had a relationship with it. So too did all of the great heroes our Church, the saints.
Do we view death in this way? Is death a catastrophe to be avoided, a source of fear? Or, as we age, is death becoming a friend, a companion who beckons us on to a more meaningful, redemptive life? Is death becoming a \"sister\" whom we will welcome in due time? Do we believe that it is simply a change of lodging, a passage to a new birth in the Lord?
The author of the Book of Wisdom reminds us that \"God did not make death and He does not delight in the death of the living\" (Wisdom 1:13).
We can recall the tender moment recorded for us in St John\'s Gospel where Jesus, brokenhearted at the death of his friend Lazarus, comforts his sister Martha with these words \"everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? I am the Resurrection and the Life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.\" (St. John 11: 25 and 26)
Do we truly believe this? Do we live in a way that such a belief becomes a reality?
Jesus Christ abolished death and brought us eternal life by removing what St. Paul calls \"it\'s sting\"; it\'s essential evil, separation from God and the eternal love which is communion with God. He robbed death of its power over us through His Resurrection. He made that tombstone a stepping stone, a portal to eternal life. (1 Cor. 15:55-57)
Jesus converted death, once the \"last enemy\", into our friend and sister, a portal to life eternal. We are invited to begin living in the eternal \"now\" of life in communion with God the Father, in the Son and through the Holy Spirit.
With a few exceptions like John the Baptizer and Our Lady (for whom we celebrate birth and death) we Christians celebrate the death of Saints. That is because our faith proclaims that death is not an end but the beginning of an eternal life in God. In the final book of the Bible we read:
Here is what sustains the holy ones who keep God\'s commandments and their faith in Jesus. I heard a voice from heaven say, \"Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.\" \"Yes,\" said the Spirit, \"let them find rest from their labors, for their works accompany them.
Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud one who looked like a son of man, with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, \"Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the time to reap has come, because the earth\'s harvest is fully ripe. So the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. (Revelations 14: 12-15)
Time is for bearing a harvest for the Lord
As the Apostle John recorded in the Revelation he received on the Island of Patmos, our use of time is meant to bear good fruit. We are called to bear a harvest which will accompany us into eternity. It will - if we have an intimate relationship with the One who both gives and governs time.
Time is the opportunity for the Christian to bear fruit that remains. Jesus reminds us, It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another (St. John 15: 16, 17).
We decide whether we will use time for bearing good fruit or are used by time as a tyrant who frightens us as we fruitlessly try to resist his claim on our perceived youth. This act of choosing rightly helps us to develop a disposition; a way of living that involves the proper exercise of our human freedom aided by grace.
When time is welcomed as an opportunity for bearing the fruits of love and holiness, we learn to receive it in love, perceive it as a field of choice and build an environment for holiness and happiness in its passing. We choose to fill our lives with love and pour ourselves out for the God of love. When we live this kind of life, Jesus can find a home within us from which He continues His redemptive mission, in time.
The ancients were fond of a Latin phrase \"Carpe Diem\", which literally means \"Seize the day.\" For we who are living in Christ Jesus, that phrase can take on a whole new meaning. We always journey toward the \"Day of the Lord\", when He will return as King.
We should seize that day as the reference point for all things in our daily life. We participate in His ongoing redemptive mission when we live our lives as though His day is the milestone and marker for all that we do. It is! It shines the light for the path as he makes us new.
Almost two thousand years ago the ancient Greek writer, Seneca, wrote: \"It is not that we have so little time, but that we have wasted so much of it\" St. Paul wrote to Greek Christians, centuries later in Ephesus: \"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men (and women) but as wise making the most of the time.\" (Ephesians 5: 15ff).
As we consider the timeline of God\'s unfolding plan, the redemption of the whole cosmos, the God who gives and governs time, invites us to re-dedicate ourselves to living differently, in time. There is a beautiful song written by a dear friend of mine, Jim Cowan. It is entitled When its all Been said and Done. It always reminds me of the true meaning of time. Take time to listen to it while you are reading this article.
We are invited in this coming New Year to live as though time really does matter. We are invited by grace to give ourselves away for others; to imitate the One who gave Himself for the entire human race. We are invited to pour ourselves out as Jesus did. If we live life this way, when we face Him on that final day, we will do so with our arms full of gifts borne over time. These gifts will have paved the way for eternity.

DLL your comment is a poetic expression of the wonder of the Reign of God. Thank you for your reflection.
This past year an neighbor gave me a small egg plant. He said this will never grow, because it had not been watered properly. I planted it in my garden, gave it special care. Lo and behold, it produced and we ate the egg plant. It was smaller than the others, but delicious. Jesus gives special care to those of us who are damaged and often given up on. With the special care of Jesus' merciful love, even the most serious sinner is saved. -

Time is that period we have as we experience experience life. In a fine garden all must be cultivated,so that the finest of the desired sort of plant,can continue and grow fruitfully each and every day,without the distraction of weeds and other common afflictions. A good garden must be nourished and fertilized,watered daily and with enough sunshine and naturally occurring rain. The old must give way to the new as each new generation of plants must grow and remain healthy for a life time as their predecessors have. The continuity of healthy life for each successive generation is a result of the daily work that keeps the garden thriving over time and for all time. The Church is the garden and it is God that keeps the community that is each and every member of the Church Community. The teachings of Christ keep the community of Church members minds pure of the weeds of sin that threaten to infiltrate the minds of church members,so that corruption erodes all sense of community. The Holy Spirit is the gift of God that we all can come to know through Christ,that is the source of eternal light and sunshine for each and every generation that lives out it's life,in the fullness of its own time frame. Spiritual health is mental health. The Holy Spirit is eternal water,a baptism in love,gentle rain for all generations in time. Yes! Each and every member of the human race that ever was created as a soul for God is of value,as love is meant to be spontaneous,uniquely passed from one to another. Eternity is love itself perfected,timeless,totally fulfilling,pure and perfect peace. Is our lifetime preparing us for something more? It is! Jesus says it is. The Kingdom of Christ is not of this world. It is the great Concert that begins after the preliminary band does its gig. Time is the preliminary band concert,if one leaves the concert after that performance,they miss the main concert with its greatest performers. Eternal life is the main event that Jesus speaks of. It is greater than any simple well cultivated garden. The eternal garden has all it ever needs as it is maintained by its own magnificence,a self sustaining love,that keeps it always in perfect perpetual health forever. Our Lady of Perpetual Hope,knew this all by faith. Mary became the Mother of God,through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus a baby born of the Virgin Mary became Man,the Christ,God active and forever interactive,in time and eternity. God is forever factored for all time and forever for all in eternity. "How Great Thou Art"!

Brother Keith, today's post is pretty dense. It almost seemed like the notes from an hour lecture on time. There were some valuable quotes in it, but hard to stay with the theme from beginning to end. I assume we will not see many comments on this post.
I was surprised you did not pick up on Francis', Bishop of Rome, comment on time in Joy of the Gospel about the difference between time and space. There is a real insight here that can apply to the on going concerns expressed in your posts.
222. "..first principle for progress in building a people: time is greater than space.
223. This principle enables us to work slowly but surely, without being obsessed with immediate results. It helps us patiently to endure difficult and adverse situations, or inevitable changes in our plans. It invites us to accept the tension between fullness and limitation, and to give a priority to time. One of the faults which we occasionally observe in sociopolitical activity is that spaces and power are preferred to time and processes. Giving priority to space means madly attempting to keep everything together in the present, trying to possess all the spaces of power and of self-assertion; it is to crystallize processes and presume to hold them back. Giving priority to time means being concerned about initiating processes rather than possessing spaces."
If we could get the meaning of the difference between time and space, we would take huge steps towards a civilization of love, rather than a civilization of conflict.

I worked at CIT full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Flexible work hours, really nice cafeteria...that's about it. Oh, if you're in the right department, and know the right people, and say the right things, you could do OK.
Cons – From the tech dept. perspective. Too many consultants who are only interested in their current position and will leave the second something higher paying comes along. No long term outlook. Constantly shifting goals. Lots of layoffs, it has been almost a constant several times a year for the last five years. No one there that is over 30 actually does work anymore, they all direct "offshore" people. Onerous paperwork and regulations. Almost seems like you have to fill out a form to use the rest room. There's more, but I won't bother.

The N.C. Utilities Commission has dismissed an appeal of its December order that settled an investigation of the Duke Energy-Progress Energy merger.
The commission had probed the abrupt ouster last July of former Progress CEO Bill Johnson to lead the combined companies.
NC WARN, a Durham advocacy group that often criticizes Duke, had sought to become a formal party to the investigation. The commission denied that bid, and agreed Monday with Duke's motion to dismiss the appeal.
Utilities commissioner Bryan Beatty dissented from the ruling, saying it should have been left for an appellate court to decide.

United States Golf Association Through its grants program, the USGA supports programs and projects that work to create opportunity in people's lives through participation in the game of golf. To this end they support introductory junior golf programs for youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, girls, and minorities as well those who face geographical impediments to playing the game. They also support caddie and occupational programs for youth as well as programs for individuals with disabilities of all ages. In addition to these programming grants they support the construction of affordable and accessible alternative golf facilities designed with the needs of the above mentioned programs in mind. One component that they look for in school-based programs is the opportunity for the children to actually play the game of golf on an ongoing basis either in the program or outside of it. They strongly believe that for a program to have significant impact on youth they need to be able to experience the many facets of the game that can only be experienced through playing. You can find more information about the USGA Grants Program in the Foundation section of their website.

Meet more than a dozen retirees who got a head start on their golden years -- and learn the secrets of how they did it.
Weary of Chicago winters and 60-hour workweeks, Sheri and Bill Pyle dreamed of spending their days in warmer climes. She managed the accounting department for a food manufacturer; he worked at a family-owned heating and plumbing firm.
"We wanted to quit while we're still young enough to enjoy our lives and give back," says Sheri.
So they sold their three-bedroom Cape Cod outside Chicago for $185,000, paid cash for a $128,000 four-bedroom ranch in Tennessee, retired a home equity line and car loan, and added $30,000 to their savings.
And though their income is less than 40% of the $126,000 they used to earn, their cost of living is so low that they can get by on their Social Security. Their property taxes plummeted from $7,000 to $500 a year. Milder winters mean their heating bills are a third of what they used to pay.
"We could never have done it if we stayed in Chicago," says Sheri.

Michigan Football Recruiting: Remaining Needs at Each Position for Class of 2013
By RJ Luchenbill ,
The Michigan Wolverines have more verbal commitments up to this point than any other college football team in the country. With 16 pledges so far, Michigan more than triples the next highest Big Ten team in Ohio St. with just five players committed to their program.
While there's no concrete number as to the maximum number of players Brady Hoke can sign in for the Class of 2013, it's easy to assume that there's not many scholarships left for this class.
Michigan has its next star in the making with quarterback Shane Morris. The Wolverines have also signed five offensive linemen: OG Kyle Bosch, OT Chris Fox, OT Logan Tuley-Tillman, OG Patrick Kugler and OG David Dawson.
Michigan also has two running backs committed in FB Wyatt Shallman and RB DeVeon Smith to go along with their two tight ends Khalid Hill and Jake Butt.
So now that the Wolverines have many of their positional needs filled, this article will examine the remaining spots that are required to retain their depth at key positions.
The man pictured in the photograph above is none other than Anthony "Snake" Carter who played for Michigan from 1979 to 1982. He's one of the greatest wide receivers in the history of Wolverines football with 161 receptions, 3,076 receiving yards and 40 touchdowns.
Anthony Carter signifies the importance for Brady Hoke to get a few key 4-star or 5-star receivers for his future quarterback, Shane Morris. Morris will only be as effective as his receiving corps.
When Denard Robinson leaves for the NFL, Al Borges will install more of his West Coast offense at Michigan, meaning high quality wide receivers will be of utmost importance.
Devin Gardner, Russell Bellomy and Shane Morris will fight for the starting job in 2013. We do know for certain that Michigan will pass the football more, translating to a need for good hands and more speed at wide receiver.
Michigan has only one verbal commitment at wide receiver in Jaron Dukes. Rated 3-stars by Scout, Dukes is a tall receiver at 6'4" and weighs 200 pounds.
The Wolverines do have their eyes on some highly-rated wide receivers such as 5-star Kentucky native James Quick and 4-star Californian Darrell Daniels.
By the time recruiting is over, expect the Wolverines to sign between two and three high-end receivers.
Brady Hoke said in a recent press conference that he needs to continue to build depth on the offensive and defensive lines.
The Wolverines lost both defensive tackles Mike Martin and Will Heininger to graduation.
With Michigan already securing five offensive linemen, Hoke will probably enlist one more player and that's about it.
So far, Michigan hasn't signed up any defensive tackles. They did well last season by signing 5-star recruit Ondre Pipkins, pictured above.
Some of the higher-end defensive tackles they've offered scholarships to is Eddie Vanderdoes from California and Justin Manning from Texas. They're both 5-star recruits on Scout.
Expect the Wolverines to sign two or three defensive tackles by signing day.
Michigan is really going to miss Ryan Van Bergen since he graduated in the 2011 class. Craig Roh is moving to Van Bergen's old spot and somebody will need to step into Roh's old position.
For the 2013 class, more depth is needed on the defensive end position as well. The only recruit Michigan has signed so far is Rivals' 4-star and Scout's 3-star recruit, Taco Charlton.
Some of the better players the Wolverines have on their radar is Kentucky's Jason Hatcher and Indiana's Elijah Daniel. Both players are rated 4 stars on Scout.
Michigan will want to build depth and add between two and three more defensive ends in this class before signing day.
Michigan's 16 commitments for the class of 2013 are nothing short of amazing. Understand, we're still in the middle of March! Michigan's first commitment for the class of 2012, OT Ben Braden, didn't give his verbal until March 24th of last year.
The Wolverines need to understand they have a limited amount of scholarships left and must be willing to be extremely selective with their remaining recruits.
They've done a great job so far in building the amount of depth on the offensive line but will need to chose defensive tackles and defensive ends primarily to ease those same concerns on the defensive line.
It's important moving forward to get wide receivers who are going to acclimate to the West Coast offense properly. This means tall runners who can block on the line of scrimmage.
I'm sure the star of the 2013 class, Shane Morris, is more than eager to get the best receivers in the nation to come to Michigan. Let's see if the Wolverines can pull them in.

We should have right around 8 First-Team All-Americans next year. That's not too much to expect.
Printable View
We should have right around 8 First-Team All-Americans next year. That's not too much to expect.
I love this 9-man rotation next year:
With bubu, McGee, Ejim and Booker providing defense and energy off the bench.
That has the potential to be a fabulous team.
Oh, and that's 6 RS Srs, 2 RS Jrs, 1Jr and 1 Soph. Amazing experience for a college team.
I love that it can look like that without feeling that the freshmen have to step in and contribute heavily in their first year. If any of those guys are ready to do that, it looks even better. If they're normal freshmen and they're not totally ready, we're good to go that way, too.
Agree--I certainly hope this thread's presence isn't a tacit admission that we're done for this year, because we ain't. We've still got 11 games left against very down Tech/aTm/OU/Pokes squads and where even the top dogs in the conference are beatable.
That said, next year is looking sweet. I'm secretly happy that Royce doesn't have much of a jumper developed right now or I'd be starting to worry about him going pro.
The on-paper depth looks exciting, so I have no problem looking ahead.
But I don't want to obsess too much about lineups and potential accomplishments until, like, April.
Gibson does have a higher ceiling at the 4 than Ejim but that's not fair to Melvin. Conversely Ejim has a higher ceiling than Gibson at the 3. He's been playing out of his true position of a 3 for the last two years. He does need to work on his outside shot but Ejim will play more mins next year than Gibson.
I do think that Lucious/Clyburn/Okoro/Niang/Long/SDW is > than Allen/Scotty, so we should be better. BUT, I'm certainly not ready to say that we're going to contend for the B12 title. The rest of the B12 will probably be better as well.
Frankly, if we make the NIT this year and the Tourney next season, I'll be a very happy man about the direction of our program.
Probably just as or more important than where we end up this year, is our up coming recruiting class, as well as our incoming FR next year. They will tell a lot about how we will perform 2013-14 and beyond. We'll have a lot of holes to fill after next year.
Losing McGee, Babb, Booker, Clyburn, Lucious and in all likelihood Royce will be very difficult to rebound from.
With such a deep athletic roster maybe we'll actually see some more consistant full court pressure. Thought we'd see more of that this year.

EPL: Ranking the Fan Bases for All 20 Sides
By Jo-Ryan Salazar ,
Ahhh, the Premier League. One of the world's richest football leagues. And home to household names far and wide. But who are the strongest and weakest in terms of fan support?
Let's see. There's Manchester United, then Arsenal, then Chelsea, then Liverpool...and then everybody else.
Wait a minute. Everybody else? The last time we checked, this is supposed to be ranking all 20 teams in the Premier League, not just the Big Four and meshing the other 16 in a cast-iron pot!
So without further ado, I present to you a ranking of the fan bases for all 20 teams in the Premier League this season.
There's a reason why there are the bottom this list. Poor attendance, and a lousy moniker.
Wigan's fans and Wigan people in general are known as 'pie eaters' or 'pies' which is reference to the 1926 General Strike, when Wigan miners were forced to eat 'humble pie' and return to work before miners in other towns, even though they had been on strike before the other towns joined in.
Since then the word 'pie' has come to mean the pastry rather than the metaphor 'Humble Pie.'
Well, you better eat some humble pie while you're at it down at the DW stadium because the hopes of you rising from the cellar are DOA.
Hooligan firms have placed Stoke near the bottom of this list, though they have die-hard fans who are amongst the best in the country. Crowds in the 2008–09 season were consistently full, with Stoke high in attendance figures for the league in 13th place after 25 games this season.
And when they are loud, they are loud. Check this out: research undertaken by Sky+HD during August, September and October of the 2008–09 season, showed that Stoke fans are the loudest in the Premier League, topping the chart with an average of 101.8 decibels.
But it won't be just being vocal that will help Stoke move higher in this list; they have to get fans from abroad. Oh yes, and the hooliganry could use a little impaling, too.
Now while Blackpool is sitting pretty in 10th place overall in the Premier League, their attendance is one of the lowest, and when you have a low attendance, the chances of you lingering near the bottom of this list is pretty good.
That's not to say Blackpool don't have a solid fan base in their own right. They do. In September 2009, freelance journalist Mike Whalley said after attending a game against Peterborough United: "The home fans certainly make plenty of noise. Bloomfield Road does not lack for atmosphere. Or a drummer. Every home game is played to a thumping drum beat."
And they were one of the first to have their own supporters' group. One of those: the Atomic Boys, who followed the Seasiders from the late 1940s to the 1960s. They would dress up in exotic tangerine clothing, even borrowing outfits from Louis Tussaud's Waxworks.
They adopted a live duck as a mascot, with one being donated to the group by American actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr. At home games, The Atomic Boys would walk around the town before big games drumming up support and rousing the crowd on match days.
The tradition of dressing up for important matches has been continued to the present day. Not bad stuff. But it will take more than that to move up this list.
Most fans of the Baggies come from the Black Country, though many also hail from nearby Birmingham. The club also has many Scottish fans.
The official West Bromwich Albion Supporters Club has branches throughout the United Kingdom, as well as in Ireland, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Malta and Thailand.
They have a few very famous celebrities such as Julia Walters, Frank Skinner, Goran Ivanisevic, Cat Deeley, Eric Clapton and Adrian Chiles.
In BBC's 2002 "national intelligence test" called Test the Nation, they were found to be "more likely to be smarter than any other football supporters," registering an average score of 138.
Still, this survey emphasizes quantity over quality, and WBA will need to reel in more people if they want to be placed higher.
If it is true that Fulham's fans tend to be the most fair-weather of all the sides with attendance, then they aren't doing much to help their case, especially with the Cottagers staring down the face of relegation.
Nonetheless, Fulham supporters have played a vital role in the clubs long term stay at Craven Cottage.
When the club moved temporarily to Loftus Road, a committee known as 'Back to the Cottage' was formed, committed to ensuring the club continued to play at their spiritual home.
Better get your act together, Fulham fans...
Hail, hail, the Bluenoses, who are 16th on this list. There are a number of supporters' clubs affiliated to the football club, both in England and abroad.
Notable examples: while an action group was formed in 1991 to protest against chairman Samesh Kumar, the club blamed an Internet petition for the collapse of the purchase of player Lee Bowyer in 2005, and antipathy towards the board provoked hostile chanting and a pitch invasion after the last match of the 2007–08 season, relations between club and fan base have never been so poor as to provoke the formation of an independent supporters' group.
When the club was in financial difficulties, supporters contributed to schemes which funded the purchase of players Brian Roberts in 1984 and Paul Peschisolido in 1992.
There have been several fanzines published by supporters; in 2010, two were regularly on sale, Made in Brum, first issued in 2000, and the longer-established Zulu.
While the Blues will need to do more to catch up with Aston Villa, Birmingham is in good stead and will be a club to watch out for in terms of fan support.
Blackburn Rovers supporters have formed several support clubs related to the team, and almost all of them are partially focused on making trips to Ewood Park easier.
Blackburn also have a very vocal support group when it comes to big decisions being made for the club, a support group created on a media site, objecting to the appointment of Sam Allardyce as replacement for outgoing boss Mark Hughes, for instance.
Celebrity fans include the current Doctor Who, Matt Smith, comedians Jim Bowen and Lee Mack, Justice Secretary Jack Straw, fashion designer Wayne Hemingway and former World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty.
Solid fan base, along with longevity in the Premier League, equals 15th place on this list.
To the Wolves we go! Wolverhampton Wanderers has an international support base, with supporters' clubs in Australia, the United States, Sweden, Spain, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Malta, Iceland and Norway amongst others.
They have an especially large Scandinavian fan base, due to Scandinavian television coverage of Midlands football during Wolves' dominant period in the seventies. They also have numerous supporters' clubs across the United Kingdom.
Here's another fun factoid: Wolverhampton Wanderers' supporters are able to put themselves forward for selection to the Fans' Parliament which sits for two-year periods at a time.
The initiative, implemented in 2006, invites approximately 30 independently-selected candidates to attend meetings at Molineux every two months. Meetings are usually attended by CEO Jez Moxey, alongside a variety of other club personnel.
A worldwide fan base, along with a fans' parliament? That'll put you in good stead. Some work will need to be had regarding their team: they are in the relegation zone with only 15 points to show for it.
This is Barack "Blowing Bubbles" Obama's club. Oh, you didn't know that the 44th President of the United States of America supports the Hammers? (By the way, if you already knew, give yourself a hand, unless it's because I just told you. That would be cheating.)
According to legend-turned-fact, a 2003 visit to England was the impetus behind Mr. Obama's support for the club. Another reason why West Ham are ranked this high is because their hooligan firms are the among the most famous in the Premier League.
A former hooligan named Cass Pennant wrote books on groups like the Inter City Firm (i.e. 2003's "Congratulations, You Have Just me the ICF.")
Combine that with the creativity of its more well-behaved supporters to come up with chants and songs relative to the signs of the times, and you got EPL fan base that is 12th. However, this could all be a mere consolation prize, as the Hammers are at the bottom of the league table.
Sunderland held the sixth highest average home attendance out of the 20 clubs in the Premier League at the end of the 2009–10 season with an average of 40,355.
The club has many supporter groups from various countries, including the United States, Australia, Canada and Cambodia. Cambodia, ooooh.
And these fans were recorded as the loudest crowd in the 2007–08 season, following a survey carried out at every ground in the league; the highest peak volume was measured at 129.2 decibels.
They're doing well this season as a team, and so are their fans, who rank 11th on this list.
On to the top 10 we go.
The Bolton Wanderers Supporters Association is the official supporters' association of Bolton Wanderers Football Club. The Supporters' Association came into being in 1992, and in 1997, shortly after the move from Burnden Park to the Reebok Stadium, BWSA accepted the Club's kind invitation to hold its monthly meetings at the Club's new home.
The Reebok has continued to be their venue ever since. They now have a membership numbering hundreds. Whilst the majority live locally in and around the town of Bolton, membership has spread across Europe and around the world.
In the year 2000, the Association expanded even further when its invitation to affiliate was accepted, not only by Bolton Wanderers supporters groups in other parts of Britain, but also by groups around the world.
All of these foreign groups have come on board to become independent, but integral, parts of the official Bolton Wanderers supporters' family.
Indeed, requests for affiliated status continue to be received regularly from other places around the world where Wanderers fans find themselves gathered together.
Affiliations from every nation will put you smack dab in the middle on this list. They have a ways to go before they can consider themselves in the same stead as the top 10, but they are head and shoulders above all the rest.
It may not have the same fame and fortune as Manchester United, but Manchester City has a growing fan base, and its home games are well-attended.
Manchester City has a large fan base in relation to its comparative lack of success on the pitch. Since moving to the City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester City's average attendances have been in the top six in England, usually in excess of 40,000.
Even in the late 1990s, when the club were relegated twice in three seasons and playing in the third tier of English football (then Division Two, now Football League One), home attendances were in the region of 30,000, compared to an average for the division of fewer than 8,000.
Research carried out by Manchester City in 2005 estimates a fan base of 886,000 in the United Kingdom and a total in excess of 2 million worldwide.
That will get you on the top 10 of this list, no problem.
From Manchester...to Birmingham once again, and one of the clubs that has been on the Premier League since its inception. Aston Villa's have a large fan base and draw support from all over the Midlands and beyond, with supporters clubs all across the world.
A number of organisations have been set up to support the local community including Aston Pride. A Villa in the community programme has also been set up to encourage support amongst young people in the region.
The main groupings of supporters can now be found in a number of domestic and international supporters' clubs. This includes the Official Aston Villa Supporters Club, which also has many smaller regional and international sections.
Longevity and global support. And while their football team has yet to pick up its share of the weight, the fans are picking up the slack in response. Well done, those Villans.
After spending one season in the doldrums of the League Championship, Newcastle United are in good stead and move in to seventh on this list.
Talk about devotion: in a 2004 survey by Co-operative Financial Services, it was found that Newcastle topped the league table for the cost incurred and distance travelled by Newcastle based fans wishing to travel to every Premier League away game.
And the cost was highest whether travelling by car, train or coach. The total distance traveled was found to be equivalent to a round-the-world trip.
Also, in a 2007 Virgin Money survey of football supporters who held season tickets or otherwise paid to attend games, it was found that Newcastle fans were the most loyal in terms of making sacrifices in order to attend the game.
High devotion deserves a high place in these rankings. That's no ordinary army—that's the Toon Army.
Now we move on to the Toffees, who are not exactly strong enough to crack the top five, but are good enough to be in the Top 10.
Everton have a large fan base, with the eighth highest average attendance in the Premier League in the 2008–09 season. The majority of Everton's matchday support comes from the North West of England, primarily Merseyside and Cheshire.
Everton also have many fans who travel from North Wales and Ireland. Everton also have many supporters' clubs worldwide, such as North America, Singapore, Norway, Lebanon, Thailand and Australia.
The team will need to pick up the pace, as they are staring in the face of the drop, but the fans should give them added incentive to stay up.
Fifth on this list, and fifth on the league table as of now, are the Spurs.
Tottenham have a large fan base in the United Kingdom, drawn largely from North London and the Home Counties. Five times between 1946 and 1969, Tottenham had the highest average attendance in England.
There are also Tottenham supporters' clubs located all over the world. Tottenham were ninth in average attendances for the 2008-09 Premier League season, and 11th for all Premier League seasons.
The phrase "You'll Never Walk Alone" is synonymous with Liverpool, who are fourth on this list.
During the 2009–10 season, Liverpool had the fourth-highest average League attendance for an English club: 44,392, which is 94.4 percent of available capacity.
So far this season, the Reds have an average home attendance of 42,677, which is still not too dang shabby.
In fact, the club is so popular that an offshoot of this team has been created, AFC Liverpool. And with Liverpool being a brand name in its own right, the Reds have every reason to be in the Top 5.
The power of Arsenalisation must not be underestimated. The soul of Highbury never went away; it just possessed the new home of the Gunners, the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal's fan base is large and generally loyal, and virtually all home matches sell out; in 2007–08 Arsenal had the second-highest average League attendance for an English club (60,070, which was 99.5% of available capacity), and as of 2006, the fourth-highest all-time average attendance.
The club's location, adjoining wealthy areas such as Canonbury and Barnsbury, mixed areas such as Islington, Holloway, Highbury, and the adjacent London Borough of Camden, and largely working-class areas such as Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington, has meant that Arsenal's supporters have come from across the usual class divides.
In addition, Arsenal have the highest proportion (7.7%) of non-white attending supporters of any club in English football, according to a 2002 report.
This year, through 17 games played, Arsenal have the second-highest attendance of all EPL teams with 60.037.
In second are the defending league champions, Chelsea.
Chelsea have the fifth highest average all-time attendance in English football and regularly attract over 40,000 fans to Stamford Bridge; they were the fifth best-supported Premier League team in the 2009–10 season, with an average gate of 41,423.
Chelsea's traditional fan base comes from working-class parts of West London, such as Hammersmith and Battersea, from wealthier areas like Chelsea and Kensington, and from the surrounding counties.
In addition, they have a strong fan base internationally, the result of success in competitions like the UEFA Champions League.
We had to save the best for last, and this team is the pacesetter. So what if there is a club like FC United of Manchester formed out of protest?
The main fan base is still there for Manchester United, who top league attendance just about every year, and are doing so once again this season with 75,059 coming to a match.
Manchester United is reputed to be the most popular football club in the world, with the highest average home attendance in Europe. The club's worldwide fan base includes more than 200 officially recognised branches of the Manchester United Supporters Club (MUSC), in at least 24 countries.
The club takes advantage of this support through its worldwide summer tours. Accountancy firm and sports industry consultants Deloitte estimate that Manchester United has 75 million fans worldwide, while other estimates put this figure closer to 333 million.
That's all you need to know right there. And that's why the Red Devils have the Number One fan base in the Premier League.

The Hall of Honors: A Premier Martial Arts Event in Florida!
Do not miss this unique and affordable training opportunity in Miramar Beach, Florida on September 21–22, 2012!
Well, those of you located in or around the Great State of Florida have a valuable opportunity approaching. Emerald Coast Martial Arts and Shinja Martial Arts University are sponsoring the Second Annual Hall of Honors Martial Arts Conference and Seminar!
General Patton…On Street Fighting!
General George Patton once said…
"The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his."
While this battlefield mantra has been a driving force in our military mind-set, applied to the reality of how to win a real street fight, these words ring just as true.
I've seen countless street fights where the person "losing" the battle just gives up…basically curling up into a ball and waiting for the kicks and punches to stop.
Sometimes they do…and sometimes they don't.

Press Release
RE/MAX of Greensboro Broker Associate Michael Driver "Goes To Jail" for MDA
RE/MAX of Greensboro
May 24, 2011 06:39 EDTGreensboro, NC May 24, 2011 - On Thursday May 19th, Michael Driver a Broker Associate at RE/MAX of Greensboro, "Went To Jail" for the fifth straight year to collect donations and support the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
Michael spent the past month reminding all of his friends and colleagues about the MDA event and unselfishly gave of his time on Thursday making phone calls and collecting donations for the MDA.
His tremendous efforts raised over $1700, which is enough to send two kids to Camp Carefree this summer. Over the past five years Michael has helped raise approximately $7000.
Asked why he felt compelled to do this, Michael said, "I started after my daughter was born; I felt lucky that my child was a healthy little girl and felt that there must be something I could do for other folks who maybe weren't as fortunate as I was. Plus I know folks who have ALS and other degenerative muscular diseases personally who get help from MDA. It always feels good to help other people and I have always believed that since I can't give a lot of money, I can at least give of my time. Plus, if there's one thing I know how to do, it's work a phone."
"RE/MAX Associates have a long history of giving back to the community and to charity work locally and nationally, and we are extremely proud of the work Michael does with the MDA," said Lisa Bennett, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX of Greensboro.
Camp Carefree is a free, one week camp for youngsters with health problems. To find out more about Camp Carefree or the MDA, please visit their websites, www.campcarefree.org and www.mdausa.org.
To contact Michael Driver, call 336-346-1410 or you can find him on the internet at www.yourhomeingreensboro.com or http://www.facebook.com/MichaelDriverRealtor.

The Accidental Theorist:
When economics and ideology mix, the results often sound plausible, but in fact can be terribly wrong and lead to ill-conceived and sometimes dangerous economic policy. For several years, Paul Krugman, author of The Accidental Theorist and one of the most celebrated economists of the '90s, has been punching holes in fashionable ideas such as the logic of supply-side economics and the evils of globalization. The Accidental Theorist is a collection of Krugman's best published and unpublished essays that cover everything from the Asian financial crisis to inflation in America.
Krugman's cause is neither left or right; rather it's the pursuit of clear thinking about economics that's unfettered by ideology. He writes, "But we should never be surprised when prominent people say foolish things about economics. The history of economic doctrines teaches us that the influence of an idea may have nothing to do with its quality--that an ideology can attract a devoted following, even come to control the corridors of power, without a shred of logic or evidence in its favor."
If you've read and enjoyed Krugman's regular column for Slate, "The Dismal Science," or have admired his work in the New York Times, The Washington Monthly, and Foreign Affairs, you'll find that the The Accidental Theorist is a must read. The essays in this book reflect a clairvoyant and playful mind that's patient enough to unravel and simplify--not dumb down--the arcane and lofty ideas of economics to something that the rest of us can understand. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards [via]

* Premo! Sculpey or Sculpey III in the following colors:
o White 5001 or White 001
o Black 5042 or Black 042
o Cadmium Red 5382 or Red 083
o Beige 5092 or Beige 093
o Ultramarine Blue 5562 or Navy Blue 363
* Wooden Egg (available at craft retailers)
* Floral Tape or Sobo Glue
* Sculpey Diluent or Translucent Liquid Sculpey
* White Seed beads
* Mini Carving Gouge
* Needle Tool
* Paint Brush
1. Cover wooden egg with floral tape or dry egg in oven at 250 degrees for 45 minutes. Cover with Sobo glue and let dry.
2. Using beige clay, form a 3/4" ball and flatten onto the side of the wooden egg near the top.
3. With the end of a paint brush, penetrate the clay to form the eye sockets. You can also form the mouth if you wish. It helps to decide how big to make the hose. Form a small teardrop and place between the eyes and almost to the mouth. Smooth the top of the nose into the forehead and the sides into the cheek and eye area. Reopen the eye sockets.
4. Make the forehead from a small log and place above the nose and eyes. Smooth the top with your thumb. Use the needle tool to smooth the forehead near the eye area.
5. Cheeks: Form a 7/32" ball, and cut in half. Place each under the eyes. Smooth the sides upwards toward the top of the brow. Smooth the edges with the needle tool. Smooth with your thumb to give a rounded appearance.
6. Place a small amount of dark blue clay into the hole of each seed bead. Place the eyes in the sockets. Place a very small piece of beige Sculpey III above the eyes to create eyelids.
7. To make the eyebrows, roll white clay into a very small log. Cut at the tips where the log narrows. Place this above the eyes and texture with the needle tool.
8. The Santa suit is made with red clay. Run red clay through the pasta machine to give it a thickness of 1/16". Form into a rectangle of 1-3/4" by 6". Wrap the clay around the wooden egg so that the seams meet in the back of the egg. Flatten the top of the red clay against the egg. Cover the whole bottom of the egg to help add a larger base.
9. The arms are formed by rolling a log of red clay 7/16" in diameter to a length of 3". Cut in half for the two arms. Bend these into two "L" shapes and attach on the sides. Using your thumb, smooth the shoulders, rounding them. Seal each addition of clay. Use a taper point clay shaper to do this. This is optional, you may elect to not smooth the joints.
10. Bake the piece at this point so that you don't accidentally smudge the white clay with red during the next steps. Bake at 275 degrees for 15 minutes.
**TIP** You may wish to use Sculpey Diluent or Translucent Liquid Sculpey to help the bond between the baked clay and the unbaked clay in the following steps. Use a small drop on the baked clay to help the unbaked clay adhere more firmly.
11. Roll a white clay log 1/4" in diameter that is 4-14" long. Starting at the middle of the cheek, wrap the clay around the head and end at the middle of the opposite cheek. Trim off the excess clay.
12. Texture the white clay with the needle tool. In the back use your thumb to spread the log further down the back of the figure. We will be adding clay to make the hair longer, so let's start now.
13. Roll two white balls 3/8" and place where the beard stopped, under the cheeks to the middle of the nose. Use your fingers to pull the clay down toward his arms. Texture with the needle tool.
14. Since the wind is blowing his bears, we need a small ridge of hair to show that his hair is being blown on top of itself. Add a small log of white clay. I also want to show this with his beard blowing over his arm. Add a bit to demonstrate that. Then, fill in any other areas that need additional clay. Texture the hair with the needle tool.
15. Finish his hair. You may elect to make the hair shorter than the example. I like it long so I will add a series of logs of various lengths and texture with the needle tool.
16. Make the cuffs and mittens. To make the cuffs, roll a 3/8" log of white clay. The length should also be about 3/8". Place on the end of the arms. The mittens are made from a 3/8" log of black clay. Flatten the end with your thumb, make a cut about 3/4 of the way across the hand. Round the thumb and the rest of the mitten. Roll the wrist areas to get a very small pointed log.
Make a hole in the cuff with a knitting needle and then push the small pointed log of the mitten into the hole. Press the white clay cuff around it. Texture the cuff with a needle tool or carving gouge. Do the same on the other side.
17. Roll a ball of white clay 7/8" in diameter. Flatten the center slightly and place the base of the Santa in the flattened part. Let the roll come up over the Santa base. Texture with the carving gouge.
18. To form the hat, roll a white log 3/16" in diameter. Begin at the front of the head, just above the eyebrows, and continue until the two ends meet in the back. Cut off the excess. Texture with the carving gouge. The tassel is formed from a half ball of white clay and should be 3/8" in diameter. Put aside for last.
Roll a log of red clay 3/8" in diameter and 2" long. Insert a knitting needle into the end, and while holding the clay log still, roll the knitting needle. When that side is flattened to your satisfaction, turn the log and flatten another side. Continue until you have formed a cone shape.
Test the fit of the cone inside the hat brim. If it needs more thinning, use the knitting needle or your fingers to stretch the clay to fit inside the brim. Use the needle tool to press the hat against the inside of the hat brim.
Gently pull the tip of the hat down to the shoulder. If it seems to long, cut off the excess. Add the tassel ball of white clay you saved from earlier. Use the needle tool to seal the connection, and texture with the carving tool.
NOTE: If you wish Santa to be an ornament, you can push a piece of wire (same size as your drill bit) through the hat down to the wood egg prior to baking. After the Santa has cooled down, you can use a hand drill to drill into the egg and then screw an eye screw into the wood. In this way you will not damage the clay after all of this work!
Baking Instructions:
For Premo! Sculpey, bake the Santa for 30 minutes at 275 degrees F in a calibrated oven. Leave the Santa in the oven as it cools down. For Sculpey III, bake for 15 minutes at 275 degrees F in a calibrated oven.
