Over at Evangelical Realism, we're discussing William Lane Craig's "Argument from Moral Duty" for the existence of God. As usual for such Sunday posts, it's about 2,000 words, so probably well past the "tl;dr" limit for a lot of people. If you'd like to jump to a shorter excerpt near the end, though, Dr. Craig offers an interesting response to the Euthyphro Dilemma, and I thought some of you might enjoy the abbreviated list of problems his answer creates. Craig's answer is that there's a third way out of the dilemma: that God is good by nature, and therefore His will is good. Take that Socrates.

The moral duties of William Lane Craig

that God is good by nature
Doesn't that concede the point that a measure of goodness exists independent of God?
Deacon Duncan
That's one of the problems: either some standard of goodness exists apart from God, or the phrase "good by nature" is meaningless.
Indeed, and if god is by nature, and not dependant on an external definition of goodness, how did his good nature come about? It seems unlikely that he created himself as good.
In general I am somewhat puzzled by Craig's insistence that there be one true moral code. Each and every moral system developed to date, has some area where it chaffs. What makes Craig think that there is one moral system that can perfectly prescribe the correct moral action in each and every circumstance? -
Your point that goodness is subjective probably flies right past Craig. The scary thing in his thinking is that because, to him, there is only one objective goodness his personal standard of goodness, dictated somehow by 'god', is the correct one – all others are wrong.
So come the fundamentalist revolution Comrade, we'll be back to stoning, genocide, murder of children for disobedience (oh wait that sometimes happens now doesn't it?), not allowed to go more than 2000 ells from your house on saturdays, no shellfish, no pork (what will the pork producers say? there'll be some lobbying there!) and all the rest of the objectively good rules laid down by 'god'. Well, these are simple and 'good' laws we can all support, no? -
Is God good by nature because he is God, or is he God because he is good by nature? How does Craig know he is following a good god? Was it the flood that convinced Craig? The Old Testament wars of genocide? The utter destruction of every living thing in town after town? Was it the human sacrifice? Listening to Craig speak, I think he worships Satan.
As usual for any apologist, Craig answers nothing. Then again, Craig is an especially ignorant and mentally stifled apologist, and I often wonder why he is given such credit. I don't want to be mean, but the dude ain't that bright. I have to sympathize with Jerry Coyne when he begs for a reasonable apologist statement or a well constructed argument for any theology. At best, some interesting philosophy, such as the Euthyphro Dilemma, has been advanced and preserved by theologists, but that's it.
It would be easier to take things like "god is good by nature" a tiny bit seriously if they didn't happened to correspond exactly to how children (and often adults) view authority figures, ESPECIALLY parents, and even more especially fathers.
If you are young, weak, and ignorant (which all of us are early on), the only thing you are left with is the innate desire to "do what father/mother says", "don't make father/mother angry", "do whatever father/mother tells you to do", and, of course…
…whatever father/mother does is good (because they are father/mother).
Even if what father/mother seriously hurts the child, the child will blame themselves (sound familiar?) rather than blame the parent (because the parent is good by nature because they are my parent).
The rationalizations for the problem of evil sound remarkably similar to a child arguing that their alcoholic father didn't really mean to hit them, that if they had not spilled that glass of milk father wouldn't have needed to smack them until their ears bled, etc. When we look at a real father who is abusive, this kind of thinking is more comforting to the child than realizing the father is just Not Good.
Similarly, god is Not Good…but he is also Not Evil, because he doesn't exist. He's a father figure made up to hijack that warm, fuzzy feeling of being looked after to all of existence…but when existence happens to kick your ass now and then, we just apply the logic of an abused child to the made up father figure and call it good, in more ways than one, because it feels better than being an orphan where no parent cares if you live or if you die.
Jasper of Maine
I love this concept that we humans are apparently incapable of doing anything by ourselves.
Who or what imposes these moral duties upon us? Where do they come from?
Us! We generate them. Why do they need to come from anywhere else? If morals must have a source, why can't that source be us?
"Us! We generate them. Why do they need to come from anywhere else? If morals must have a source, why can't that source be us?"
Very true. I don't know what is so hard about understanding that if you do things that harm the group, then A) your support network for your own health and survival is weakened (if they don't find out), or B) the group angrily punishes you (if they do find out).
And if the group as a whole is mistaken about what it thinks is helpful or harmful to itself, then the GROUP suffers the consequences of those mistaken beliefs when it acts on those mistaken beliefs in reality. If everyone thinks it is just swell to kill people for being witches, but has no idea how to tell who is a witch and who is not, so just starts killing lots of people out of fear of witches…slowly the population dwindles, there is much grief and irrationality and dysfunction, and the whole society either kills itself off or stops "killing witches". If the society kills itself off, it's not around to tell us to kill witches anymore. And if it stops "killing witches", then there is no problem…
…and we can then see exactly where morality "comes from".
But more importantly, we can also see where it's going. We can make new decisions in light of new information to make life better for individuals and the group–something old, rigid moralities can't do because they are too simplistic, and didn't foresee the realities of the future.
Reginald Selkirk
This is one of a large category of absolutist black or white arguments made by theists. They think that morality/purpose/life/etc must be absolute/infinite/perfect in order to count. My response to that is: I have $5 in my pocket. It is not enough to feed me for infinity. It is not even enough to feed me for a standard human lifetime. But it is enough to buy me lunch today, and that is better than nothing.

REITs, Gold, IT and the TSP
Tuesday - 5/25/2010, 4:00am EDT
Disappointed with the limited number of investment options in your TSP?
Wish you could invest in gold and other precious metals within your federal 401(k) plan?
Have you ever wished you could put those tax-deferred dollars in a "socially responsible" fund? Or an environmentally green fund? Or high-tech or a REIT (real estate) fund?
If so, you are not alone.
With so many investment options out there, why are federal and postal investors limited to broad market index funds?
We asked that question in a column last week and it generated some interesting comments from TSP investors. Such as:
- "At $1,200 per ounce, the buy-high, sell-low crowd must be itching to invest. The time to ask for a gold fund was when gold was $300 per ounce. Steven Levine
- "Gold has always held an allure for many people. It shines and (like many commodities) can rise to unimagined heights. But (like pork bellies, orange juice and others commodities) it can fall in value quickly, depending on unforseen circumstances. Of course, we know any equity fund can similarly fall, but the volatility is lower and easier to live with.
"The TSP is not for speculation, it helps build a solid foundation for retirement. Just like real estate and dot.coms, gold has all the potential of a real bust." Denis S.
- "Pearl S. Buck in The Good Earth had a line about buying land because there is a finite amount available to 'own' as if there is anything tangible we really own in this life. The American Natives really got it when it came to the earth.
"Anyway, I really feel for my FERS coworkers who have to depend on a 401(k) program that only does well in good times and requires them to stuff it in the mattress (G fund) until the economic tornado passes in bad times.
"When most large employers had defined benefit pension plans, many could look forward to their golden years. When the demise of defined benefit pensions replaced by caveat emptor defined contribution plan, only the very smart or the luck few who roll the dice well will have something to look forward to when their body and souls are worn out from a lifetime of toil." Doug In Denver
- "The TSP does a good job of protecting us from ourselves. Judging by what arrives in the mail and by e-mail, there are people out there who will invest in anything (in the interest of honest disclosure I am selling stock in the San Francisco-Honolulu Railroad which is in pre-construction, and also a company that will digitize water.) When the technicalities are worked out you will be able to plug a faucet into the UBS port of your computer and download into your glass." Stanley F.
AFGE's Loss
Mark Roth, general counsel of the giant AFGE union, is retiring after 35 years years. He held the top legal post for the last 27 years, working on issues from whistleblower relief, labor-management partnerships and the rollback of the National Security Personnel System. Nice going Mark!
5-Day Delivery
The Postal Service proposal to eliminate Saturday delivery would hurt poor customers, according to the American Postal Workers Union's Mike Morris. He told a regional (Memphis) hearing of the Postal Regulatory Commission that affluent customers would cut deals with private delivery services to continue Saturday service which many others need but couldn't afford.
The 5-day delivery plan, which Congress would have to approve, is revived every four or five years. But long-time postal watchers say this time the threat, if it is that, is very real.
Immortalized in Lucite
Jennie Liming of the General Services Administration and Neil Barofsky of the Treasury Department have checked in to pick up their well-deserved Causey Awards for public service. Listen to them and you'll know why they won. You can hear them Wednesday (10 a.m. EDT) on our Your Turn with Mike Causey radio show, 1500 AM in the DC area or anywhere on the internet.

Nearly Useless Factoid

This month's full moon will occur on Thursday. While it's commonly known as the "full flower moon" according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, "some Algonquin tribes knew this full Moon as the Corn Planting Moon or the Milk Moon."
Tuesday Morning Federal Newscast
Among the headlines this morning in the Federal Newscast: Federal retirements hit seven year low, Unanimous Senate passes Telework bill, Cyber security expected to have bigger impact on Maryland than BRAC and Air Force secret space plane spotted. For more, click here.
The TSP as a model for other 401(k)s?
We chat with Senior Correspondent Mike Causey and Tom Trabucco, Director of External Affairs for the Federal Retirement Thrift Investments Board. Causey says it's kind of hard to find a disgruntled TSP investor, though there are some out there who want more options, but overall the plan is a pretty good value. Trabucco says part of the reason why many like the TSP is that the money is invested wisely. Read more here.
Hiring reforms could mean big changes for veterans
The Office of Personnel Managment's sweeping hiring reforms could mean big things for U.S. Veterans. Right now, only three government agencies hire significant numbers of veterans: the Department of Veteran Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Tim Embree is the legislative associate with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. He says the federal government is ahead of the curve when it comes to hiring veterans, but more needs to be done. Read more here.

The New Jersey Bird Records Committee collects records of rare birds reported in the state of New Jersey, and maintains a State List of all species seen in the state. Our goals are summarized by Richard Crossley. In this context, "rare bird" means a species which has never appeared in the state before, or has appeared only a few times. Typically, these birds are not in normal range or habitat and are not present for a long period. In this usage "rare" doesn't mean endangered species with a wide continental range, or threatened breeding birds. Such species are not monitored by NJBRC, and should be reported to the appropriate governmental or conservation organizations.
Recent rarities include a Gray Kingbird at Forsythe NWR on October 17, several Swainson's Hawks around Cape May, and a Le Conte's Sparrow at Sandy Hook on November 2.
Please note: Report species which are listed on the New Jersey Review List or species new to the state; see the New Jersey State List for species which have occurred in the state. For a list of accepted records of rare species, see the Accepted Records List.
Please do not report Federal or State "Threatened and Endangered List" species to the Committee unless they are also shown on the Review List.
New Jersey protected species, either Endangered or Threatened, include: American Bittern, Bald Eagle, Black Skimmer, Henslow's Sparrow, Least Tern, Loggerhead Shrike, Northern Goshawk, Northern Harrier, Peregrine Falcon, Pied-billed Grebe, Piping Plover, Red-Shouldered Hawk, Roseate Tern, Sedge Wren, Short-eared Owl, Upland Sandpiper, Vesper Sparrow, Barred Owl, Black Rail, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Bobolink, Cooper's Hawk, Grasshopper Sparrow, Long-eared Owl, Osprey, Red Knot, Red-headed Woodpecker, Red-shouldered Hawk, Savannah Sparrow, and Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. For information on reporting T&E species in New Jersey, see http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/ensphome.htm.
Federal listed species occuring in New Jersey include Bald Eagle, Brown Pelican, Piping Plover, Least Tern and Roseate Tern. For information on Federal T&E species programs, see http://endangered.fws.gov/
If in doubt, e-mail the Secretary (email@example.com) and ask.
Reports may be on a printout of the NJBRC report form; may be sent in e-mail either as a narrative or using a text version of the form; or may be written longhand. Sketches are always welcome. Please send hard-copy reports, sketches, and photographs to via email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or regular mail to: Bill Boyle, Secretary, NJBRC, 13 Strawberry Lane, Cape May, NJ 08204.
Unusual species not on the Review List are of great interest to many birders, and information should be shared publicly when possible, although the committee does not collect these reports. New Jersey has two telephone hotlines and two active Listserv mailing lists. Please check the "where to report" page if you don't know where a report should be sent.
Our list of essential New Jersey bird books and journals is a guide to historical research about the state's birds.
The attached document summarizes the results of the NJBRC meeting on October 15, 2013. Three new species were added to the State List.
For general questions about birds, birding, and bird conservation, contact the New Jersey Audubon Society, http://www.njaudubon.org

With all the hype over craft brews and the movement to call Asheville "Beer City" (a sobriquet I thought reserved for Milwaukee, or at least St. Louis), I have not noticed a commensurate effort to provide good service to individual beer drinkers.
I happen to like light premium beer, and how hard can it be to open a bottle and sling it at me. Here's a hint to all bartenders: If I'm making eye contact with you, I'm wanting another beer. If the label is turned toward the bartender, it means I want another of that kind of beer. If the label is facing away, and I'm not staring intently into your gorgeous eyes, I'm fine, and you can see how much of that delicious golden nectar I have left in my bottle.
Geez, I know it's hard to see me over that enormous row of bowling-pin tap handles, but it is kinda your job. If you want to stand around all day gabbing, seek employment on a government paving crew, or better yet, sign on for the next I-40 rock-slide cleanup (do those guys do anything?).
And regarding all the snobbery around your microbrews: If you're wacky, fruity IPAs are so great, why don't they come in a Vortex bottle?

Elite Health Blends is great. I've been using EliteThin a while now, and I'm finally seeing weight loss results. :) I love this company because they put the clinical research out there for you to see, instead of hyping the product up without showing people what it is about it that makes it work.
I signed up with them as part of a Swagbucks promo... and have religiously skipped my credit every month. This past month, I was billed anyway. I got my money back, but it was a pain to have to deal with.
These guys are totally awesome. I quit smoking and started using an e-cig almost two years ago, and if it weren't for their website, I'd have given up on my tiny 901 and turned back to cigs. I found the Tornado Tank and can vape all day without having to charge. I love it!

I was a victim of identity theft several years ago, well before services like this one were available. What's worse, is I knew the person very well. Before I realized what had happened (it was the middle of the night) my account was well overdrawn, and all my checks had bounced.
Since the horrid experience, I've always been very wary of what's going on with my accounts, and IdentityGuard makes it so easy.

"As with the HD 7870, we couldn't have asked for more in terms of efficiency and overclocking capabilities. The sought after 1GHz mark was attainable even without voltage tuning and while your experience may differ, this resulted in unheard of performance levels for a $250 card. Meanwhile, power consumption was by far the best we've seen from a GPU that can play games at high settings."
"If you're in the market for a graphics card in their price range, the Radeon HD 7800 series deserves to be on your short list."
-M. Chiappetta, HotHardware
"The AMD Radeon HD 7800 series are a real pair of jewels, great cards with the right balance of performance, features and power consumption."
–J. Prior, Rage 3D
"If you've been holding out for an upgrade for the last 2-3 years for your performance gaming needs, the wait is over - get one, or two, AMD Radeon HD 7800s and don't look back."
The Tech Report
"I'd say the two new Radeons [HD 7870 & HD 7850] are also better options than the comparable GeForces"
–Scott Wasson, The Tech Report
"The Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 are the most power-efficient of the bunch, but why wouldn't they be? They both have small and nimble 28-nm GPUs, while our other cards must make do with larger, more power-hungry 40-nm chips."
– Scott Wasson, The Tech Report
"Thanks to AMD's ZeroCore Power scheme, 7000-series Radeon GPUs switch to an ultra-low-power state when the display is off. The company says power draw for the whole card drops under 3W when that happens."

The Penultimate Suitor
Mary Leader
University of Iowa Press ($13)
by Arielle Greenberg
Mary Leader's first collection, The Red Signature, was a breath of fresh air; adhering to no particular style, the poems were witty and warm, and as often abstract as forthright. This 1996 National Poetry Series Award-winner felt wonderfully free of the workshop influence, and indeed, Mary Leader did not come through the usual poetry channels: for many years, she practiced law in Oklahoma, serving as an assistant attorney general before receiving an MFA and making poetry her full-time vocation.
In many ways, The Penultimate Suitor, which received the Iowa Poetry Prize this year, follows through on its predecessor's promise--it soars whimsically around the relationship between love and fine art, dabbles in traditional form, and generally gives the impression that the poet is having a really good time, as is charmingly evident on the first page of the book:
How the tenor warbles
in April!
He thrushes,
he nightingales, O he's a lark.
He cuts the
cinquefoil air into snippets
his love's scissors in the shape of a stork.
Clearly, this is a poet acquainted with the ecstatic, and at the book's best, it is this musicality and emotional vulnerability that make the poems work, as in the closing lines of "White Sands," reminiscent of Molly Bloom in its self-scrutiny and affirmation:
Will we be together again
after all,
Do you believe in me? Don't you find
dusk-mounded world a beautiful, a strange, place?
I answer yes,
I answer yes, wholly feminine,
answer yes.
am I not a deity, in my marigold shawl?
But too frequently, as this last excerpt also reveals, Leader crosses from sincerity into sentimentality. This is most noticeable in the poem "Letters," which feels too concerned with the story of a real-life crush to pay much attention to language. Elsewhere, in the poem entitled "Heavy Roses," Leader uses the "@" sign to visually indicate blossoms (a move which calls attention to the Internet/love connection, though Leader doesn't go there) and even shapes one poem into a concrete long-stem. Much of the work tries to translate other pieces of art--a photograph by Irving Penn, a piece of music--into poems, and although some of the results are finely crafted, others rely too heavily on novelty. I can think of no reason for including, in such a slim collection, a poem in which an entire stanza is written in dingbats; experiments like these seem self-consciously postmodern, just playing on the page.
Leader is certainly capable of more, and her inquiry into the ekphrastic has genuine passion behind it. I hope that, in future books, she can retain her vision, resisting gimmicks that dull her openhearted and wise sensitivity to the human condition.

A hands-on approach to bug control in the garden
Plattsburgh, NY, Jun 21, 2010 — Sunny skies, warm temperatures, and plenty of rain. Perfect for the flowers and vegetables. Also great weather for bugs of all kinds, good and bad. Cornell Cooperative Extension horticulturist Amy Ivy takes direct action when she fights the "bad" insects in her garden. She tells Martha Foley in their weekly chat that her first strategy against pests like rose chafers, Japanese beetles and Colorado potato beetles is hands-to-bug combat. She's armed with a keen eye, can of soapy water, and maybe rubber gloves.

By Staci DaSilva
The Le Mars Municipal Airport is still dealing with the effects of flooding back in May and that's not the only airport issue the city has to deal with. The entire runway and most of the Le Mars Airport property were flooded 3 months ago which caused the river to creep closer and closer to the edge of the runway. The north end of the runway is very close to the riverbanks and when flooding happened in May, it got even closer.
The winding river has cut into the banks so much that airport and city officials met with FEMA on Wednesday to discuss funds to mitigate the problem with some kind of bank stabilization system. The runway itself is already the minimum length and the fear is that another federal agency will come in and tell them to shorten it even more.
Le Mars City Administrator Scott Langel said, "If we don't do something, the FAA, the other federal agency that oversees airports, might turn out and tell the City that the north end of the runway cannot be counted on." And that's not the only issue the FAA is involved in there. Folks designed and bid on a second water tower for the city, one identical to the existing tower. But the FAA has halted production because it says the height would obstruct the airport. The planned tower is 56 feet too high and city officials don't want to change the plan.
"If nothing changes with the current determination with the FAA, we probably will not be able to build a water tower at that location," said Langel. The location was supposed to be at the intersection of 24th St. South and 6th Ave. West.
It's back to the drawing board now. The engineering company is working on a new plan.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
"Poetry," a poem Moore reworked several times, states her aesthetic beliefs. She published the first version in 1919, but in 1925 she stripped it from thirty lines to thirteen to comply with her principles of clarity and precision. In the Selected Poems of 1935, she returned it to the original. Then, in 1967, after she repudiated the syllabic verse she used in much of her poetry, she reduced it to the three lines that appear in The Complete Poems of Marianne Moore published that same year. (The original version appears in the "Notes" of that book.)
The poem is best known for the shocking first line, in which Moore states that she dislikes poetry. The remaining two lines of the 1967 version present some problems because she does not exemplify the word "genuine" after stating that there is "a place for the genuine" in poetry. In the original version, however, Moore illustrates precisely what poetry she repudiates and what poetry she admires.
Moore dislikes poetry that she calls "fiddle"—poetry written about stereotypical poetic subjects, such as nature, in high-sounding tones. Such works become so abstract, she says, that they cannot be understood. Poets who write this way, the "half-poets," take standard opinions as truth, then embroider them with pretty or overly intellectual language. The result is that truth, the "genuine," if it is there at all, becomes obscure.
What she admires...

Microsoft planning TV subscription service for Xbox
The software giant has proposed a range of possibilities in these early talks including creating a "virtual cable operator" delivered over the Internet for which users pay a monthly fee. This would allow consumers to "cut the cord" on their existing cable company or use Microsoft's console to authenticate existing cable subscribers to watch shows with "enhanced interactivity."
The Xbox 360 can already be used in some markets as a secondary cable box, through AT&T's U-verse in the US and via Telus in Canada. Currently, on-demand TV and movies are limited on the Xbox 360 to Netflix and Microsoft's own Zune service, though Hulu content is coming. Pricing for this new Microsoft TV service has yet to be determined, but one thing is certain: it needs to rival Apple's and Google's offerings.
User Comments: 6
Got something to say? Post a comment-
Considering the 360s massive userbase compared to AppleTV and GoogleTV, if this is even remotely successful It'll easily rival the two, especially if they allow Zune/Win7Phone integration to some extent.
Sounds interesting, hopefully if they do go ahead with this they will offer service beyond the US.
I hope this works out and they have great content. I would love to "cut the cable" completely, if it weren't for my wife I would have done this long ago. I watch maybe 3-5 channels on cable .
Wow the related stories go all the way back to the zune hd release.
On topic, I kinda like this idea if its pricing is competitive to cable and satellite networks.

just like you It will be good to have TV servise over the internet with a good price, even if that mean buy 2 X360 (1 tv, 1 Gaming) jeje that way my family would not be saying,,... pliease put the movie in the middle of my game..... -) but as im on PC now...with kinet on the way. ok IÂ'll pass.
360 already delivers IPTV. If you have have AT&T Uverse you can use your 360 as a set top box for a one time fee of $99. In the UK you can use Sky player

Jr. Eagles Onto All Star Final |
Colleges - All-Stars | |
The USA U20s ran away with a 53-17 win over the South to end the first round of the Women's National Collegiate All Star Championship. The USA will play the West in the title match on Saturday; the Pacific Coast will play the Midwest for 3rd; and the South will take on the Mid-Atlantic tomorrow for 5th. U20 flyhalf Cassidy Meyers (Kent, Wash.) led the field with 13 points on four conversions and a try – all scored during the first half. Replacement flyhalf Meya Bizer (flyhalf) accounted for 10 points (try, conversion, penalty), and inside center Natalie Kosko (Indian River) tied the standoff for points scored on a brace of tries. Also notching five-pointers were prop Jess Davis (American International College), hooker Johni Durbin (Fallbrook), wing Joya Clark (Norwich) and fullback Rose Bernheim (Norwich). The South managed three scores, one in the first half from wing Rhiannon Clark (Elon), and one apiece from scrumhalf Caitlin Williams (UNC) and flyhalf Jess Peterson (East Carolina), who also accounted for the conversion, in the second half. Stay tuned for coach feedback. Round 1 Results Finals |

Reviews for Bacon and Eggs Casserole(28)
Sort By :
This is my go-to recipe during the cold winter months! My family loves this dish, and I change it up by adding cooked sausage or diced ham. You can also make it a "western" version by adding sauteed onions and green peppers. Depending on your seasoning preference, you can add cumin, curry or Adobo all-purpose seasoning.
I add flavor to this old standby by using 1 t Lawry's salt & 1 t salt and skip the pepper. I omit the onions as well and usually put the cheese on top to melt. Delicious main dish and also great for cutting into squares or rounds for sandwiches (sausage-egg biscuits, egg and cheese croissants, egg bagels, even breakfast burritos. Very versatile and always well liked!
this was a horrible recipe! I even added more bacon for taste, but no help. i'll never make this again, especially wasting 18 eggs!
I made it with lot more bacon and double cheese and it was a huge hit. Very easy. Will definitely make again.
Made this this morning. Didn't have the green onions so I left them out. Mixing the sour cream smooth was a bit of a challenge, I wonder if I should have used a mixer? I would mix the milk with the sour cream separately next time to see if that helps. I cut the recipe in half and used a 9 x 9 pan. Baked perfect in 45 minutes. I would add one more slice of bacon next time (3 instead of 2 for a half recipe). Not as good as the brunch casserole recipe I inherited from Mom, but it is lot easier to make so it is a keeper!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jordan Robinson hit consecutive 3-pointers 58 seconds apart in the fourth quarter of Martinsburg's 60-50 win over Huntington in Thursday's Class AAA 1 vs. 8 quarterfinals matchup.
The first of Robinson's 3s came with 3:42 left and gave Martinsburg (24-2) the lead for good. The second came with 2:44 left and the Bulldogs' lead swelled to six points, their biggest of the back-and-forth contest.
Robinson had no reason to be confident in those two shots, but he collected each pass, planted his feet and hoisted them anyway.
"I probably played one of the worst first halves of basketball I played all season," the 6-foot-4, 180-pound senior said, "so I figured it couldn't get any worse than that.
"I just let them fly."
Robinson shook off a scoreless first half in which he missed his only two field goal attempts (3-pointers) to hit 4-of-5 second-half shots and reach double figures with 10 points.
His 3s put Martinsburg, winners of 11 consecutive games, up 51-48 and 54-48. Huntington (18-7) never got closer than 3 points after Robinson's back-to-back baskets.
Martinsburg, which lost only once to an in-state team (at Morgantown, 64-59, Jan. 19), rarely led before Robinson's 3-pointers. The Bulldogs held the lead for 18 seconds in the first quarter, 14 seconds in the second quarter and 19 seconds in the third.
They had the lead three times in the fourth quarter totaling 2:05. Then Huntington junior Chancelor Wooding drained a 3 to tie it at 48-48 with 4:02 left of the fourth quarter.
It was the sixth and final tie of the game.
"I thought they weathered the storm," Martinsburg Coach Dave Rogers said of his players. "Came back and did a great job in the second (half)."

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsA Small Death in Lisbonby Robert Wilson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:1941. Klaus Felsen, forced out of his Berlin factory into the SS, arrives in a luminous Lisbon, where Nazis and Allies, refugees and entrepreneurs, dance to the strains of opportunism and despair. Felsen's assignment takes him to the bleak mountains of the north where a devious and brutal battle is being fought for an element vital to Hitler's bliztkrieg. There he meets the man who plants the first seed of greed and revenge that will grow into a thick vine in the landscape of post-war Portugal. Late 1990s. Investigating the murder of a young girl with a disturbing sexual past, Inspector Ze Coelho overturns the dark soil of history and unearths old bones from Portugal's fascist past. This small death in Lisbon is horrific compensation for an even older crime, and Coelho's stubborn pursuit of its truth reveals a tragedy that unites past and present. Robert Wilson's combination of intelligence, suspense, vivid characters, and mesmerizing storytelling richly deserves the international acclaim his novel has received. Review:"A Small Death in Lisbon is a well-crafted gem, a guided tour of the human condition in the guise of a mystery novel. Wilson is flat terrific." Stephen Coonts
Review:"An engrossing tale of how the sins of the past come to corrupt the future. A deft handling of converging timescales and an exploration of fundamental human relationships." Gold Dagger Citation
Review:"Wilson's masterly work shows us the devastating and ineradicable effects of war on the human soul and the national psyche." Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
Synopsis:A sex slaying in modern-day Lisbon. A secret in 1941 Berlin. The shocking connection makes this the most talked-about thriller in years. About the AuthorRobert Wilson was born in 1957. A graduate of Oxford University, he has worked in shipping, advertising, and trading in Africa. He has traveled in Asia and Africa and has lived in Greece and West Africa. He is married and writes from an isolated farmhouse in Portugal.

For those of us who are not big fans of Lil Wayne….
Stupid..it wouldn't be fuck food without him
this. just put up with the one minute of wayne and hear it how tech intended for us all to hear it. lol
Gareth Mestes said:
Somewhere in New Zealand Siikez is extremely happy with you.
Nope, I can still hear him going "Uhh" in the background.
Stupid to try and take him out, anyway. His verse wasn't even bad, haters.
seriously Lol that.."she calls me daddy as she screams uncle.." line was tight. or the.."i fuck her like a dog she shakin her leg.." definitely not "bad" like lotta people thought it was gonna be. Im jus glad he didn't do what he did on No Love..echoed everything Eminem said.

Very well done, your actions have been noticed by the Gods. Do not listen to the lesser folk frowning upon your actions, you have done the world justice. And for that you will be rewarded.
lol no prob man…it was a simple task, it didnt even take a minute to edit the only thing that was time consuming was uploading it on youtube. and as for the people who didnt like the edit thats their opinion. I understand that wayne wasnt all that bad on the song but i also understand why people are easily turned off by him when he gets on any track. which is why i cut his verse
Siikez said:
i cant beleive how much better it sounds now lol
Are you the guy whom we celebrate his birthday on December 25th? I believe you are! THANK YOU JESUS!
lol so they take out lil wayne but leave t-pain in there. thats much better lol
i dont understand the hate lil wayne gets on this board, im not a big wayne fan but i respect the work ethic and feel a few songs i dont understand why ppl bitch about mainstream/underground.. if you like something listen to it regardless if its mainstream or underground i think thats why i like tech n9ne so much. he'll do a song with Brother J from X-Clan then do a song with B.o.B then do a song with Dirtball, then do a song with Three 6 Mafia. he doesnt care if your mainstream or underground.
I think it's funny how this doesn't get comments like "…Ask your self if you belong here…" but I but up a simple question on why artist like Lil Wayne take stupid pauses and I get comments like that, but if someone else does it it's all fine and he doesn't get stupid comments calling him a hater.

A popular ancient proverb says, "The man who lives only by hope will die with despair."
Within the next few weeks to come, I'll be celebrating another year. About twenty-nine-and-holding-years ago, I came into this world. Grant it, I had no idea the direction my life would take, but I'm grateful it all worked like it did, both the bad and good: the bad to make me stronger and the good to make me cherish every yesterday when today is gloomy.
I love flea markets. Every once in a while, you can find a good deal on that one thing on this planet that you simply can't live without.
While looking through each knick-knack displayed on each table, I couldn't help but wonder. Did the seller ever envision his or her items for sale would one day impact someone's life? Though the seller assumed each chipped and not-so-eye-appealing item was just another thing to sale, to someone else it was a lost treasure with tremendous impact.
Greetings from your Campbell County Chamber of Commerce.
This is the first in what I intend to be a monthly informational column to keep you up to date on community and economic development efforts here at your chamber.
I know many, but certainly not all of you.
A young lady used the metaphor at a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania with Senator Arlen Specter in describing what Liberals in Congress and the Obama administration have done to our country. And they know it.
All over the country, real Americans with real concerns are turning out in record numbers to voice their opinions on not only healthcare, but also the exponential expansion of the federal government with more control over our lives while spending more of our hard-earned tax dollars to do it.
This past weekend we were at my daughter's lovely houseboat on the lake where we had a birthday celebration for my great grandson Aydin who turned four years old on Aug. 12.
A former United States President once said, "Always remember others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself."
Before you answer the following question, keep in mind that none of us wear halos and angel wings, so by all means, be at liberty to answer honestly. Have you ever hated someone, or do you hate someone right now as we speak?
We've all done this.
I don't care who you are.
Over the last few weeks, town hall meetings have turned into demonstrations against President Obama's nationalized healthcare reform proposals. From every corner of America, citizens are standing up to their elected leaders and expressing frustration at the role of the federal government. In fact, it's been so intense that some elected officials have cancelled town hall meetings or not had them at all.

Rock Ventures picks New York architects to design mixed-use development on Hudson's siteBy Sherri Welch
Rock Ventures LLC has named New York-based Shop Architects PC to lead the design process for a mixed-use development at the former Hudson's site in Detroit's Central Business District. Shop Architects will work with Detroit-based Hamilton Anderson Associates to create a development for the 2-acre Woodward Avenue site bordered by Gratiot, Grand River and Library Street, Rock said in a news release. Rock Ventures' investment in the project will be determined once the programming and design are finalized, and the timetable for the project will hinge on the company securing the necessary financing, said Carolyn Artman, senior public relations manager for Rock Ventures, in an email. Constructed as an eight-story building in 1891, Hudson's Department Store was an iconic fixture in downtown Detroit and a shopping destination for millions for nearly a century. It expanded to 25 stories and 2.2 million square feet before closing in 1983 and being imploded in 1998. Shop Architects and Hamilton Anderson will be charged with designing a development for the site that honors Detroit's architectural legacy and complements its recently renovated and newer buildings, said Jeff Cohen, founder of Rock Companies LLC, a member of the Rock Ventures family of companies. In the coming month, the two architectural firms will meet with local stakeholders to discuss programming and design concepts, Rock said in the news release. They plan to host, early next year, a lecture series for the community to learn more about their firms, the Hudson's site and what it will take to get a project of this magnitude underway. Among Shop Architects' designs are Google Inc.'s headquarters in Silicon Valley; the East River Waterfront in New York; Empire Outlets under development for Staten Island; the new Atlanta Falcons Stadium in Atlanta; and the Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, where the world's tallest modular housing towers, also designed by Shop, are currently under construction. Hamilton Anderson's notable designs in Detroit include the Tech One Building at the TechTown Research and Technology Park, Wayne State University's Welcome Center, the North Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority Public Dock & Terminal on the Detroit riverfront, and the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel & Casino. "Designing a signature architectural project from the ground up in downtown Detroit — or any great city — is an opportunity of a lifetime, and we are committed to getting it right," said Dan Gilbert, chairman and founder of Rock Ventures. In March Rock hosted a competition to solicit ideas for potential uses from architects, designers, planners, artists and the public. The contest attracted more than 200 entries from around the world. In June, Rock awarded $15,000 to a team from Rome, Italy that came up with a concept for "Minicity Detroit." The winning designs are posted at http://hudsons.opportunitydetroit.com.

Hosmer: The face of the franchise
SURPRISE, Ariz. The ball is hanging in the Arizona sky, a white speck in a cloudless blue, hurtling into the distance. Did you see that one? It clears the fence in right-center and keeps going, leaving onlookers to gawk and guess. How far did that one go? Had to be 425, right?
Another pitch, and the same sound, a pure crack straight from Hollywood sound effects. This ball is moving in the opposite direction, a screamer toward left-center, a one-hopper against the fence. Eric Hosmer recoils, loosening his muscles for just a second before returning to that familiar pose. Hands back, knees bent, bat pointing slightly back, ready to strike. Its a warm Arizona morning in early March, and the Royals will play a spring-training game in a few hours. But for now, they are here, taking a few hacks on the clubs main practice field.

Makes your feet feel better.
Seth Morrison
Member since
Use them in my ski boots, just the thickness/thinness I like, more on the thin side. They are not easy to get on by any means. Over the season you get feet issues, these helped make my feet feel good. For me it comfort started from the first use. Have had previous Zoot compression socks and these were easier to get on.
First Pair
John Pruitt
Member since
This is my first pair of compression socks and so far so good. I have been runnign in them a few times and they seem to do what I need. Size chaet seems correct. They are hard to get on and off but there are some videos online that show how to get them off and on easy. I would suggest you watch them. They do seem a little warmer than my standard smartwool socks but not too bad.
