"Om Base is not here to change you, but simply to support your change." This feeling of support radiates from the cozy, cabin-like studio, where stone deities lift their hands in greeting just beyond the front door and a rotating, mini gallery of local artwork flanks the welcoming reception desk. Inside the rustic practice room, beams of sunlight shine across warm wood floors, while a wood-burning space heater melts inhibitions and keeps faces from freezing mid-lion pose. Designed with all ages and abilities in mind, classes can focus on slower movements that emphasize healing and introspection; active, fitness oriented routines; or modified moves for expectant mothers or those with mobility issues.
Several of OmBase's instructors are also masters of massage, energy manipulation, and acupuncture, and provide these services in addition to their yoga teachings.
It may be called Body Now!, but as members transform their bodies, the studio's staff also wants them to shift their perspectives. Accordingly, they focus on all-around wellness, combining elements of world dance with cardio exercises during Now Fitness! group classes and emphasizing proper posture during Yoga Now! sessions. Wise Woman! classes help older women master functional movement patterns that enable them to win arm-wrestling matches against neighborhood kids. In the fitness center, exercisers can work up a sweat on Cybex and Life Fitness treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bikes, or focus on strength with machines and free weights. Positive sayings unfurl in script across the deep purple walls, motivating members as they blast through 30-minute circuit training workouts.
Finding Bigfoot, whenever it happens, will be a matter of being in the right place at the right time. The guides at Sasquatch Hunt try to increase those odds by hosting a series of overnight stakeouts through the summer. During each Saturday session, parties set up camp in the woodsy wilderness of Oregon to keep vigil for evidence of the elusive creature, whether it's the enormous footprints, the sounds of rustling brambles and bushes, or the fleeting bluetooth signal of Bigfoot's smartphone.
Sasquatch Hunt falls under the umbrella of Spirit Expeditions, which specializes in haunted walking tours of historic cities throughout America.
Pump It Up's two indoor inflatable arenas bounce socked younglings high off the ground with a plethora of kid-friendly bounce pads. Trained, amiable staffers supervise fun-filled visits where parents can leap around with their kids through gargantuan, air-filled bounce houses, skip down air-filled slides, and slither like snakes covered in bacon grease through an air-filled obstacle course. Attendees can also focus their free play for special events, such as custom birthday parties and private team parties. These themed soirees immerse children in a schedule of interactive activities befitting a pirate or a superhero while melting off youthful energy faster than ice cubes thrown into a running DVD player. Both giant arenas are climate controlled and maintained according to rigorous guidelines enforced by the well-trained staff and local police. Supplementing its thorough rule enforcement with expert installation and anchoring, Pump It Up holds itself to strict safety standards.
Hooked for Life Guide Service's founder and head guide, Jarrod Kelso, caught his first fish at the age of 4 and has adored the sport ever since. As a native Oregonian, Jarrod has developed an intimate understanding of the state's waters. He puts that knowledge to work during guided trips, some of which track down salmon and steelhead, others of which chase mammoth redband and brown trout up to 15 pounds in size. Jarrod leads fellow anglers into Oregon's waters aboard his new Willie custom drift boat.
Judy Brawley's lifelong passion for horses inspired her and her team of experienced trainers to foster sturdy bonds between horse and rider. Farm managers live on the premises, facilitating around-the-clock care, and a cadre of vets, dentists, and massage therapists monitors horses' health and weeds out egotistical centaurs that attempt to infiltrate their ranks. Students learn proper riding techniques as they navigate the indoor and outdoor arenas of the 100-acre facility. Groomed bridle trails weave around pine and cherry trees, providing idyllic confines to bond with steeds and empathize with their desires to invent a trendy pair of high-heeled hooves.

Android Becomes Number 2 Mobile OS on the Market
Open source, Linux-based mobile operating system Android became the second most popular mobile OS for the first quarter of 2010.
NPD wireless market research revealed that, based on the number of consumer sales for Q1 2010, open source mobile operating system Android is now the second most popular OS with 28 percent of the market share. Research In Motion's proprietary OS is still on the majority of mobile devices with 36 percent and Apple's proprietary iPhone OS is the third most popular with 21 percent.
"As in the past, carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role in determining smartphone market share," said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis for NPD.
Rubin attributes a recent Verizon Wireless promotion that expanded a buy-one-get-one offer to include all smartphones. Solid sales of Motorola's Droid line of phones (all of which run Android) also helped the open source OS surge in popularity.
This news comes on the same day that wireless carrier Sprint announced that the Nexus One, an Android smartphone branded by Google, would not be carried by the mobile phone service provider. Sprint will instead focus on the HTC Evo 4G. The good news for Google: both phones are powered by Android.

Our stunning collection certainly gives you plenty of choice and options. Using our handy tips and following our size guide, you'll find the perfect lingerie for your shape as well as your personal style.

Up to 80% of women are wearing the wrong sized bra so if your bra is nipping, pinching or is genrally uncomfortable, then you may be in the wrong bra size. Try pur simple checklist for getting the right fit:
- The wires in the middle of your chest should sit flat and securely against your rib cage in the crease of your bust.
- Wires should cradle the breast tissue - never press against it. Your bra should support, not cause discomfort.
- Breasts should not bulge out of the cup either at the top or at the side and, equally, the cup should not gape.
- The band should sit horizontally across your back in line with the wires at the front.
- Adjust the length of your straps to give support but they should be comfortable.
Our guide to measuring your breasts will help you to find the right bra for you
- Find your band by measuring around your ribcage just below your breast tissue, the tape should be snug but don't pull too tight.
- If this measurement is an even number add 4 to give your back size, if this is an odd number add 5. For example if you measure 28 inches, add 4 to get 32 or if you measure 31 inches add 5 to get a back size of 36.
- Measure around the fullest part of your breasts, again don't pull the tape too tight.
- Calculate your cup size by working out the difference between this measurement and your back size. If your bust measure 1 inch more than your back size this is an A cup. 2 inches more is = B cup, 3 inches more = C cup and so on.

21st Century Equipment moves toward purchase of former Aurora Loan Services building
The former Aurora Loan Services building that faces 5th Avenue off South Beltline East will likely be corporate offices for 21st Century Equipment. The Scottsbluff City Council voted Tuesday night to entertain a $100,000 offer from 21st Century for the sale of the building and asked staff to negotiate the terms and conditions of a final sale contract to be considered later by the council.
21st Century CEO Owen Palm said once the council formally approves the sale, it will allow 21st Century to offer economic development to the community and to provide jobs. Palm says he plans to place two dozen people at the Scottsbluff location from various offices in the region.
City Manager Rick Kuckkahn says the $100,000 offer takes into account that a lot of rehabilitation will be needed, including asbestos abatement in and around the heating ducts.
Mayor Randy Meininger said that the council is relieved the purchase will fall right in line with the city's plans to increase economic development. He says the relief is not just in selling the building, but to put it back on the tax roles and to bring in more jobs to the community. Jobs he says will be competitive. Plus, Meininger says the rehabilitation of the front building on the property will likely make the back building more attractive to potential buyers as well.
21st Century Equipment CEO Owen Palm told KNEB News he appreciates the council's confidence in their ability to develop the property. He says first and foremost they need a headquarters for their corporate staff, which will occupy about two thirds of the building. Then down the road they will be looking at other possibilities for the remainder of the building. Palm says he has already rehabilitated a number of buildings and says he has experience with difficult issues like asbestos abatement, which will be required in this building as well.
After entering into an executive session for just over a half hour to discuss strategy on how to proceed with the two offers on the table, the council first rejected a $70,000 offer before voting to entertain the $100,000 offer for the building.

750ml brown caged and corked magnum.
pours dark black with a big frothy cream colored head. Smells of fermenting peaches. Super smooth drinking. Light bodied for a porter. tons of lace. Where to begin with taste? This is a very complex beer. Somewhat tart flavor with mild roasted malt. Peachy sweetness balanced the beer nicely. Alcohol compliments the flavor profile. Other flavors of oak and roasted grain. Dry finish.
This one is worth seeking out for its complexity and unique character. A GREAT beer for sure! I will be finding this one again. It pushes the limits of traditional brewing. This is the direction that modern brewing needs to take. Creating new styles, experimenting, innovating. My hat is off to Odell.

750ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with a thin off white head that quickly diminishes to a thin bubbly collar.
The aroma is roasted chocolate malts and tobacco with tart, acidic, sour peaches.
The flavor is roasted chocolate malts and some coffee quickly followed by some acidic tart peaches and then a big roasted bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, it's a very different mix with the big porter notes and the acidic sour peaches. It's very interesting...still can't tell if I like it or not. As it warms, the flavors mellow a little and blend better and a little brett comes out.

750ml brown caged and corked magnum.
Odell going out a limb with this one, a blend of three ales two of which have had some time in oak barrels. Bottle conditioned as well, this you can tell right away from the epic amount of stick lace this beer is showing on the glass. Dim brown color with some haze. Smells of a peach orchard during late harvest with hits of over-ripened peaches that have started to ferment, hint of musty earth and come chicory. Smoothness talks up the bottle conditioning with a deep smoothness. Slight tartness puckers the palate, mild roasted edge comes over the top and plants its porter flag on the taste buds. Oakiness pulls on the palate a bit after the tartness fades. Hint of peach tartness is more of a dry fruitiness. Hopping is modest. Mellow alcohol warmth for its size. Oak flavor grows with a faint vanilla and the roasted grain flavor is well complimented. Bone dry finish.
Very happy this beer is on the dry side, the porter character might be a bit tame but the blend does really well IMO. Controlled chaos? Each sip grows on me, if you second guessed picking up a bottle you should have gone with your first instinct.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Snifter.
Appearance: Dark, murky brown with nice tan head and some decent lacing lines.
Smell: Tart apple and peach. Very light chocolaty roasted malts. Also smells akin to roses. Expected a little more from a Wild Ale / Porter hybrid.
Taste: Tart upfront, then deepens to include chocolate and sharp roasted notes. Very light peach and a hint of hops at the finish.
Feel: Moderately high carbonation, slightly thin body, quite warming.
Overall: Strangely enough, it reminds me of an American hopped Imperial Stout (such as Darkness or Nightstalker) but more tart and peachy as opposed to hoppy and orange-like. I still get that same strange mix of roasted malts and sharp citrus. However, this is simply much milder in flavor than those Imperial Stouts, and also not nearly as good as Odell's other Wild Ales. Still enjoyed it and worth trying.

3.98/5 rDev +4.2%
Dark brown pour, thin dark tan ring of head that is pretty small on top. Maybe the first time I have smelled fruit, peach, and the roastiness of a porter. Good tartness to the peach aroma, just two smells that you haven't come across in the same beer probably.
Mild brett taste, light sour and peach notes, good roasty malt bitterness, slight alcohol twitch. Some sticky chocolate in there. Middle of the road complimentary oak flavor, not big on the wood, the woodcut type, this isn't all that dry and pronounced. Throw in a smidge of molasses maybe.
This beer can't be for everyone, but I think its a winner. A little pricey, I think I was picking these up for around $13 while I was in Arizona, but overall, I'd buy it again if I saw it.

Pours a very deep brown with a thin mocha head. Aroma is lots of syrupy, caramelized malts, almost a burnt marshmallow type smell. Some fruitiness on the nose though I would not have placed it as peach without knowing that peaches were added. The taste is where this beer really opens up. The syrupy burnt marshmallow opens to a balance of roasted malts, caramelization and oak. The fruitiness on the nose opens up to a tart combination of peaches, with a hit of acidity and funk. The bitter, sweet and tart are perfectly balanced on the palate. The mouthfeel and carbonation are just right for this style, it is a big beer but you are not overwhelmed with alcohol or carbonation, there is just enough present to support the complex flavors of the beer. Overall this is a very interesting beer. When I bought it, I didn't realize that it was a blend, some components having "wild yeast" in them so I was impressed with the complexity that it brought to the table.
Definitely worth seeking out.

Review from notes.
A: Pours a dark brown with a small khaki head on top, slowly reducing to a small cap on top. Thin lacing forms all around the glass.
S: Some roast and cocoa upfront which is followed up by some slightly tart peaches.
T: More peach on the flavor profile than in the aroma, some more roasty malt and chocolate, and a slight sourness right at the end.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. The heavy malt bill gives in a nice thickness.
O: Pretty good, going in I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but the blending of the porter with the sour peaches was done well.

Thanks to Bay01 for bringing this one by.
(A) Pours dark, opaque brown/black. Has a foamy tan head that hangs around for a long while. Leaves lacing.
(S) Peach and toasted malts blend together and make it obvious that this is indeed a porter with a fruity twist. There are some sweet hops amidst cocoa and some other lighter fruits and some citrus.
(T) Lightly citrus and acidic. There's some cereal and a bit of biscuit from the toasted malts. Cherry and peach make up the middle of the flavor and it ends with cocoa and coffee, just like a porter should.
(M) It's a medium bodied brew that is slightly acidic on the palate. It's not as grainy as most porters.
(O) This one was different. After reading the description, this beer lived up to what was written on the bottle to a T. It's a really neat take on a porter and was well executed.

Bottle poured into Bruery Tulip
A: A chestnut brown with a nice finger of head from a light pour
S: Nothing in the way of peaches, slight bit of funk and basic porter smells.
T: again no peaches, not sure what is going on here based on other reviews, but didnt get much outside of a funky porter.
M: fine for the style, smooth, fizzy and easy drinking
O: Kinda dissapointed on this one, maybe my expectations were too high, but I got no peach out of this beer.

(750ml bottle). Pours dark brown with orange hue when poured into the glass. Nice khaki head and tiny carbonation bubbles. Aroma of cocoa, slight must odor and some roasty grains. Not getting much peach. Medium bodied with creamy texture. Finish has a little bit of a twang and some peach is emerging, but this is more porter than anything else. It's good, but not as sour or peachy as I would have liked. I'll have to sit on a couple of these to see how they age. I suspect they'll be better with more conditioning. Good and could become great.

750ml bottle opened and poured at Euclid Hall (denver) into a tulip.
A: Thick billowy off white/tan head. Head receded after a few minutes but stayed fluffly like a cloud (think belgium golden here) right on top of beer. The beer it's self is a very dark brown - chocolate - to borderline black. Very thick, almost no light get's through
S: At first sip the beer comes across with a hint of metallicness to it. But with most porters I've found this to be the case. There are notes of sweet peaches, like the peach candy worms, but follow through to coffee tones and bitter chocolate. Not a lot of peach action going on, very surprising here, instead much roasted malt backbone.
T: First sip reveals the roasted malt backbone first picked up on the nose. Bitter chocolate follows through. There is zero peach going on. If anything there is a touch of sour, just minor on the finish. Once again: NO PEACH. The finish is pretty weak to be honest, probably because of the touch of sour. The flavors do not linger and falls flat making the need/want for a second sip undesirable. Almost zero booziness on the finish which was nice since its 9.5% abv.
M: This beer is medium bodied yet still decently thick; surprising for a porter. Granted it is an Imperial Porter I didn't expect the thickness of the malts as much as they were.
D: Overall it's a great attempt at a beer. This is an Imperial Porter and if you were to blind taste this beer it would come across as such, to a degree. The peaches being almost non apparent for a beer being made using peaches in the fermintation as well as in the barrel aging is very disappointing. This is an average beer overall, too thick for even an imperial porter, and false advertising with the use of peaches if you ask me. Great attempt - pour follow through.

Cheers to Goblinmunkey7 for sharing this beer
Consumed 11/10/12
Appearance: Deep brown - off-white head, fades to a non-existent cap, little ring that leaves a spotty wall of lacing
Smell: Dark and cooked malts, with fruit - chocolate, caramelized malts, lightly roasty - some lactic, light sourness and lightly funky aromas - oak barrels - some peachy fruit in the back, not particularly potent - pretty wet with hints of booze
Taste: Malty and fruity - cooked, caramel and caramelized malts - chocolate malts and some dark, unsweetened chocolate - overripe peach flesh - woody oak, but not in excess - some musty funkiness - lightly tart with some vanilla
Mouthfeel: Medium body, nicely carbonated, lightly sticky but smooth
Overall: Of peaches and porters
Odell makes some tasty beers, and this is no exception. I'm not 100% sold on how well the peach works with the oak and the barrel, but this is certainly interesting.

Poured from 750 mL bottle into tulip.
A: Pours a beautiful silky dark brown with extremely fine but high carbonation producing a big 3 inch foamy tan head. Good retention and nice sticky lacing.
S: Piney hops, peach, chocolate malt, and astringent.
T: Soft peach quickly followed by chocolate malt and oak. Piney hops are folded in there too. Faint porter base. Fairly mild alcohol note.
M: Medium body. Prickly effervesence from the super-fine carbonation. Dry with mild alcohol burn to finish.
D: A very interesting brew...and a good one. Glad I tried this. Good amount of complexity, but not too much that it hinders enjoyability. I would agree with the previous review that it's nice to have an aged beer sans bourbon or vanilla for a change.

3.85/5 rDev +0.8%
A- Pours a dark brown, with creamy, fairly thick head.
S- I did smell peaches, and subtle chocolate or cocoa aroma, oak.
T- At first was a little bitter, funky. The more I drank the more I enjoyed the taste. Did notice the sour yeast, peaches, and a subtle hint of cocoa. My wife agrees, and she doesn't like porters.
M- Smooth, medium bodied for a porter.
D- Good, definitely easy to drink porter. Reminds me of something New Belgium might brew with the yeast hints. Good beer, maybe a bit above average for me. I'm a huge ODell fan, and wasnt real excited to try this at first. Hard to believe its a 9.5 ABV. This is my first review, so be patient, I'm learning!

750 ml bottle, shared by mdaschaf. Served into a snifter.
A: Dark brown body with some reddish hues at the bottom of the glass. A thick foamy, rocky beige head forms and leaves good amounts of retention and lace.
S: Roasted malts and chocolate are up-front, followed by juicy peach notes. There's a slight tartness detectable and the balance overall seems quite nice.
T: More of the roasted malts, bitter dark chocolate and faint coffee beans are first. The peaches come in mid-palate and into the finish. Plenty of fresh peach flavor with just the right amount of tartness to work against the big malt bill.
M: Well carbonated, a bit more than it should be for an "Imperial Porter" but the soured nature of the beer makes this enjoyable. Somewhat dry in the linger.
This one sounded really interesting and I'm glad it was pulled off well. The peaches and dark malts were balanced just right without either overreaching.

INDIANAPOLIS — A swirl of living colors now fills the Hilbert Conservatory as part of the Indianapolis Zoo's new exhibit, "Butterfly Kaleidoscope," presented by Citizens Energy Group.
Following a two-year hiatus, butterflies have returned to White River Gardens as part of this all-new exhibit. Open now through Sept. 2, the exhibition includes many new features and experiences, like a giant mobile suspended overhead from the conservatory's 65-foot ceiling. The art installation was commissioned specifically for this exhibit to mimic the vibrant hues and fluttering motion of butterflies. Together with soft melodies and the soothing sounds of flowing water fountains, the conservatory provides a relaxing getaway.
The highlight of the exhibit is the nearly 40 species of native and exotic butterflies. They include the blue morpho, giant owl, zebra longwing, and monarch. Several times each day, hundreds of these winged insects will be released from an emergence chamber in the center of the conservatory and flutter away. Throughout the season, about 13,000 will be released into the conservatory, so guests can expect some close encounters as thousands of free-flying butterflies float nearby and one might even land on them.
Other new features include colored glass windows depicting the butterfly's metamorphosis, handmade glass feeders, and build-a-butterfly activities for younger visitors. Guests looking for ways to bring home the beauty of Butterfly Kaleidoscope can be inspired by the native butterfly garden just outside the conservatory.
The Hilbert Conservatory, including the Butterfly Kaleidoscope exhibit, and White River Gardens are included with regular zoo admission. For more information, visit the website at IndianapolisZoo.com.

In 1979 at the Grand Ole Opry, Lynn invited a young Sissy Spacek onstage to announce that she had chosen the actress to portray her in the film "Coal Miner's Daughter." Spacek went on to win the Academy Award for her performance.
"It's a long way from Butcher Holler to Broadway in New York City. I never imagined I'd see 'Coal Miner's Daughter' on a movie screen, and now I can't believe it's going to be on a stage for people to see," said Lynn. "I'm going to be right there in the front row. And I know Zooey is going to be great – she sings and writes her own songs just like I do, and we even have the same color eyes!"
"Loretta Lynn and her music have been inspirations for me for as long as I can remember," added Deschanel. "She is a true legend and to be chosen to play such an iconic woman is a dream come true."
Coal Miner's Daughter will be brought to the stage by Tony Award-winning producers Fox Theatricals (Kristin Caskey and Mike Isaacson) and Scott Sanders Productions.
The creative team and dates for the production will be announced in the coming months. The schedule will not conflict with Deschanel's current commitment to "New Girl."

Army joins Buckskin flood fight
Updated 3:19pm Thursday 13th February 2014 in News By Chris Gregory, Senior Reporter
THE Army has been deployed to help the flood-hit people of Buckskin.
Ten personnel from the Royal Corps of Signals arrived at the flooding site this morning from Blandford Camp, Dorset.
They had a briefing in the Ridgeway Community Centre, in Blackdown Close, with staff from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, before touring the flooded areas.
They will help to fill and deploy sandbags where needed.
A total of 31 homes have now flooded in the Buckskin area since Saturday, including Antrim Close, Blackdown Close, Bodmin Close, Exmoor Close and Holyrood Court.
Following the public meeting with flood-hit residents on Tuesday, portable toilets have been moved around the area from their original site near the Ridgeway Community Centre.
Sandbags have also been delivered to The Candovers, Overton, Whitchurch and St Mary Bourne.
An officer from the Royal Navy has also come to the borough, to look at potential flooding sites with borough council staff, the Environment Agency and members of Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.
The Met Office predicts more rain tonight and tomorrow morning, with a yellow warning for rain from 6am tomorrow to 6am on Saturday.

Congratulations to the PAPD. Good fast police work.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 11:00 am
> Congratulations to the PAPD. Good fast police work.
Yes .. but let's not forget that the lady had a cell phone, and that there was cell phone coverage where she happened to be located when her car was stolen.
It's great that the police were close at hand, but it's the quick 911 call that got the ball rolling.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 11:01 am
Like the 3rd occupant had no idea the car was stolen. What was he(she), a hitch-hiker?
on Jan 7, 2013 at 11:14 am
"and that there was cell phone coverage where she happened to be located"
Is there an area in Palo Alto not covered? (not the hills, there are no carjackings at the top of Page Mill....)
on Jan 7, 2013 at 11:32 am
> Is there an area in Palo Alto not covered?
Well, according to the anecdotal evidence:
Web Link
The stoplight at intersection Page Mill Rd and Deer Creek Rd is a dead zone. No bars and no searching for service here.
There are probably some dead zones, but without good coverage maps--it would be hard to make the claim that everywhere is covered.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 11:50 am
You're correct about upper Page Mill past Foothill, that gets me every time.
Guess I should have been more clear: flatlands reception is really good; that coincides with areas I might be concerned for potential carjackings.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 11:51 am
Yay Palo Alto Police!
My experience with the PAPD has been very positive. They are competent, and the department has a culture that puts priority on treating the residents of Palo Alto with respect.
It's not like that in some cities.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 11:58 am
Good job PAPD! I hope these scumbags are thrown into jail for freakin' EVER.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:02 pm
Such a great eyewitness!
She must have snagged the complete license plate number and a full description of the fleeing vehicle.
We need to take a lesson from her and all be so observant.
(And it goes without saying that I'm relieved she's not hurt physically.)
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:06 pm
> She must have snagged the complete license plate number
> and a full description of the fleeing vehicle.
Ahh .. wasn't it her car?
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:08 pm
Yes let's not laud the police too much! Wouldn't want to think they deserve a good living wage or benefits. After all, in addition to cell phone technology, their cars wouldn't have been able to even move without the invention of rubber. So let's thank Charles Goodyear for this great take-down of these criminals.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:20 pm
@ Joe --
@ A Nou Ea Mus --
I think moi was pointing out that these were propitious circumstances, thus more likely to produce a positive result.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:29 pm
Propitious is really duplicitous. I suppose all of our personal and group achievements are to some degree propitious. So next time your kid gets a good grade, you get a promotion, someone asks you to marry them (or accepts), let's all focus on the "propitious" aspects of it. No there is a focused and concerted effort to degrade and denigrate public workers, with firefighters, teachers, and police at the top of the political hit list.
I know spin when I see it. Of course the stars were also aligned just right for criminals to be taken down. Had the criminals consulted the local Psychic Reader they would have picked a different time and locale.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:31 pm
@ A Noun Ea Mus --
Sorry my fingers got your screen name wrong.
Meant no disrespect.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:39 pm
Last comment.
I go out of my way, and I do mean out of my way, to thank every first responder and teacher I meet or become aware of in my daily travels.
Also, I support excellent pay for all of them.
Good teachers are grossly underpaid and grossly under-appreciated.
During our next emergency, whatever it is, and it is coming, we will be very thankful that we have supported talented, dedicated, and brave first responders.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:51 pm
Moi, "Joe"'s post is the one I was referring to.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 1:07 pm
Ah, to think that the smart people in the area in need of transportation just take the train...
on Jan 7, 2013 at 1:56 pm
> Wouldn't want to think they deserve a good living wage or benefits.
It's hard to believe that, under these circumstances, that police making half what the pay-bloated PA Police make would not have located, and captured, these clowns.
And if the police has arrived five minutes laterdo you think that they would have achieved the same result? Answernot likely, no matter how much they are paid.
Tip-o-the-hat to the cops .. this time, but they were lucky, as was the lady who was robbed.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Thank you Joe for exposing yourself as regards the political intent of your feign-- of praising cell phone technology, while making in reality a swipe at public workers. Hope the police folks are tuning in to see how some members of the PA Public view them. Or look at the "outpouring of sympathy" for EPA flooding on another story to see this PA spirit in action. Payback will be a bee-otch someday.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 4:28 pm
I expect the victim told 911 the carjack was at gunpoint. Can't imagine what the PAPD tactics were on this arrest. Understandable that not much will be revealed, like how many officers, how many guns drawn, how close this came to mayhem. Sorry I wasn't listening to my scanner at the time. While we demand professionalism from our police, I'm with bill g, Enough, Austin and others who acknowledge a job well done. Somehow I envision the PAPD team reviewing the play-by-play and critiquing themselves on how to refine their performance for the next threatening incident. Criminals can head to San Jose where response times are slower, but that can turn out badly for them in other ways.

Lena Dunham's "Not That Kind of Girl" Gets a Cover & Release Date
Adding another title to her already-exciting resume, Lena Dunham revealed more details about her first book "Not That Kind of Girl" on Monday (February 10).
Excited to offer fans an update, the "Girls" creator took to her Instagram and posted a snapshot of the book's pink-and-black cover.
"It's official. Coming 10/7/2014," Miss Dunham captioned the photo featuring her flashing a smile as she held the book.
In 2012, Lena signed a deal with Random House to publish her very own collection of essays under "Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She Learned."
The book is said to "offer frank and funny advice on everything from sex to eating to traveling to work."

Start the Process Early The priority deadline for Idaho Executive MBA application materials is February 1. Start the process early to ensure all materials are received by University of Idaho Graduate Admissions Office and the Executive MBA Program on time. Visit with your supervisor and the Human Resources Development Office about benefits for continuing education or executive education, and whether or not your company has previously sponsored EMBA candidates.Understand the Time Commitment The program schedule allows for maximum flexibility and work-family balance. The program is divided into four semesters with a one-week summer residence in the first year, and a three-day residence between the first and second year. Classes meet once a month during the academic year (September-May) for three consecutive days (Thursday-Saturday).Determine Personal Qualifications Your achievements for your company will be your most convincing qualifications. If your quarterly or year-end review was notably positive, use the points your manager praised most in a sponsorship proposal. A few examples are:
· You had the top sales in your region
· You increasingly expand the use of the company product in your region
· Your marketing tactics lead to increased exposure
· You have taken on more responsibilities and are exceeding expectations
· You have received client/customer praiseDetermine Company Benefits Make a list of potential ways your company could benefit from your earning an MBA degree and incorporate these into your Sponsorship Proposal. A few examples are:
· The Idaho Executive MBA will allow you to earn an MBA degree without interrupting your career
· Your program and degree will increase global economic perspective
· Your company is in a period of growth
· Your company is in a period of declining sales
· Your company will have increased visibility
· Your company's network will widenWrite a Sponsorship Proposal A Sponsorship Proposal should be succinct and should focus on how your Personal Qualifications can lead to substantial company benefits. This document should be created with the care of a business proposal. View Sample Request for Corporate Sponsorship as a model (the suggested Appendex A can be found at Admission and Appendex B can be found at Schedule).Negotiate Not all companies are able to give full funding, so be prepared to negotiate. Investigate advantages other than full sponsorship, such as paid time off to attend class, or a pay increase upon completion of the degree. Ask specific questions. Will your company allow you the days off, or will you have to use your vacation time? If you commit to staying with the organization for a set period of time after you receive the MBA, will you be reimbursed for some or all of your education expenses? Communicate how sponsorship will benefit your organization.

The Official Marrdro's 7 Round Mock Draft for 2011
OK, I finally took some time and got this done, even though I'm still waiting on my "Ourlads" scouting report.
For those of you who haven't seen one of my mocks, the following is provided to help understand the process I use:
a. I pick one site for player projections. This year I used the Drafteck this year, mostly because it gives pretty good player breakdowns. Instead of your usual DE, DT, OLB drivel, it actually gives you if they are a "Will, Sam or Mike" backer in a 4-3 scheme or a WILB, SILB, in a 3-4 scheme. In short, if you don't like were a player is ranked/projected, don't try to argue it with me. Take it up with Draftek.
Drafttek Big Board
b. Just like the "Big Board", I like to pick one site and use them as my "Scouts". This year I picked CDS. Not only do they give good player breakdowns that ring true with alot of the stuff they are saying on NFLN, but they also give you were they believe the kid should be drafted. Helps me balance out the "Big Board" a bit and keeps me from picking players that "I" like.
On a side note, if I can't find a player on CDS, I used FFtoolbox as a backup "Scout". Could have used others, but I actually will post this whole mock on that site (with a few changes) once I get my "Ourlads".
CDS Draft
c. Last, but not the least, I like to take the BPA approach, based on "Teams Needs" when I draft. Again, helps me from skewing the draft one way or another. For that, I used my "Team needs" thread as a guide for who/what each team drafts. That is made up of alot of time spent coming the wires looking for who teams bring in, what teams might loose in FA (if we ever have one) etc etc etc.
Team Needs, Pre-draft
Having said all of that, here we go. Comments are welcome and encouraged.
Vikings Picks - 9 (None in the 3rd)
1st round, 12th pick (#12 overall)
2nd round, 11th pick (#43 overall)
4th round, 9th pick
5th round, 8th pick
5th round, 19th pick (from NY Giants)
6th round, 7th pick
6th round, 35th pick
7th round, 13th pick
7th round, 35th pick
Players selected with rationale/scouting report/projection. Again, all scouting reports are from the links mentioned above.
1rst Jake Locker, QB (Ranked 32nd - Reach)
CDS Projects as a 1rst round pick and Has him ranked as 4th best QB behind Gabber, Newton and Mallet. Based on visits, it appears to me that Miami and Seattle will take Locker with their first round picks.
Jake Locker came back for a fifth season in 2010 after possibly being the number one overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft had he declared. One of the top athletes at the quarterback position. Great speed, acceleration, and toughness for a quarterback. A difficult runner to bring down, as he's a physical runner but has the speed to turn the corner and outrace defenders down the field. A very effective dual-threat quarterback who puts pressure on a defense with his athleticism. Throws with good accuracy on the move. A former high school baseball player who was drafted twice in the MLB Draft, including by the Angels in the 10th Round of the 2009 MLB Draft. Threw a 90+ mph fastball as a high school pitcher. This is evident as a passer, as he has the arm strength and velocity to make any throw on the football field. Throws with great zip. Quick release. Has improved his accuracy each year, although the numbers don't say so (his receivers had numerous drops in 2010). His decision making has also improved, as his interception totals have gone down each season. Has a good feel in the pocket, as he has the feet to escape pressure and has the athleticism to make plays out of the pocket and as a scrambler. Lead several late game drives for victories. Showed that he can make plays on key downs and in key situations. Locker has responded well after poor performances, showing great resiliency. Played with sub-par talent and the Huskies were almost always had less talent than the opposition, yet Locker was able to get 12 victories in his final two season (including going 9-5 over his last 14 starts of his career). A very tough player who played with pain for most of his career. A great leader who also has great character, Locker will be very well received by the team who selects him.
A raw passer who is more of an athlete than a quarterback at this time. Locker played in a Wing T offense in high school and a Spread offense his first three seasons at UW. His production never matched his talent. Needs to set his feet as a passer more consistently. Inconsistent with his accuracy because of this. Still working on becoming quicker with reading defenses. Needs to be a quicker decision maker as a passer. Stares down his receivers at times. Has struggled against better competition. Locker has had multiple injuries, forcing him to miss parts of every season but 2009. Missed part of 2007 with a concusion. Missed most of 2008 with a broken finger. Played most of 2010 with a broken rib, including missing one game.
First Round. Because of his physical skills, leadership, and high character, Locker will be selected in the first half of the First Round, possibly in the Top 10.
CDS Projects as a 1rst round pick and has him ranked 3rd behind Dareus and Fairley. Would rather have taken Paea Liguit or Taylor but they are all gone.
Very athletic for his size. Extremely versatile. Can play all DL positions except 3-4 NT. Big play specialist. Explosive get off for his body type. Strong hands. Gets solid pressure as a pass rusher from the DT slot, and holds his own as a run stuffer at DE. Can be considered a coveted 3-4, 5-tech candidate. Very good COD and lateral agility for a 300+ pounder. Might even be employed at OLB in some schemes or specialty situational alignments. Can be moved all over the field.
Not a true brawler, and does not seem to relish the trenches. Will definitely need to be fully evaluated from a psychological/maturity standpoint. Indifferent worker who may need to be constantly monitored and motivated. May be a press-clipping guy. Has not played competitively for a long time.
1st round based on strong performance at Shrine Bowl
4th Terrence Toliver, WR (Ranked 127th)
CDS has him rated with 2nd round talent, but projects him as a late 3rd early 4th because of attitude issues.
Toliver is mature and polished, with great size, solid speed, good bulk, and extremely long arms and despite length he has the quickness to play outside in the NFL. Toliver will make the tough catches. Perfect skill set to be a red-zone threat because of his size and jumping ability. He has developed into an effective stalk and down-field blocker.
A character ding when he was arrested for disturbing the peace and public intoxication in Spring 2010. Somehow he has not always shown up even when facing somewhat inferior competition. Not as explosive coming out of his beaks as you'd prefer. Despite all has talent he has only taken over a handful of games.
Toliver has early 2nd round talent but 6th round production and must answer to an off-the-field question, he will likely fall to the late third or early-mid 4th round.
CDS has him as the 10th best OLB and projects him as a 3rd round pick. Injury issues remaining from a car accident limited his play which causes him to slide a bit in the draft.
Dynamic, instinctual, physical, fast and tough. Has some big play ability. Very intense and driven. Will run and chase down backs and receivers. Worker to whom the game is important. Fights through trash effectively. Solid leader. Good blitzer. Will stay with receivers in the flat and on crossing patterns and is aware in coverage. Will pick off a lot of passes and change games. Can make a living in the opponent's backfield, if you like, and is an ideal rush OLB candidate. Has some versatility. A true football player.
Took awhile to come all the way back from the car accident, was obviously not himself early during the 2010 season, and will need to be fully checked out physically. Not the biggest guy around. Emotions can sometimes get the best of him. Best when not too encumbered with responsibilities.
3-4th rounder.
CDS has him as the 14th best CB and projects him as 4th talent. Other boards project him as a FS. He slips cause he is a tweener. I picked him because he can play both and depending on what they do with Hussain, and injury issues at CB, I thought he was a good value pick.
Good size and speed, and tremendous strength for a DB. Decent athlete with the necessary agility for the position at the next level. Played on the "hot corner" opposite Jimmy Smith (who was rarely tested) so many passes came his way, and he held up well. Prefers press coverage, where he gets a nice jam at the line, and can stay with his man in bump- and-run. Will give up some completions, but has a short memory and comes back to battle on the next play.
Not an elite athlete like Smith. Not a physical tackler despite his tremendous weightroom strength. Doesn't break down well, catches ballcarriers rather than attacking them, and at times seems to shy away from contact.
Mid to late-round pick who should stick on a roster because NFL teams can never get enough cover guys. If he played the run as well as he plays the pass, could be a second-round pick.
****Played very well at the Bowl and had a nice combine/pro day. Stock is rising.
Value pick here as I don't think TE is a real issue this year. Just wasn't anything of value at this pick that I would consider taking. In short, this should be considered the BPA. CDS has him as the 4th best TE and projects him to go in the 5th round but could go as early as the 4th if teams think he can add the bulk to become an effective blocker as well as a reciever.
Excellent strength and conditioning - played in 49 games in his college career. Great speed and target as receiver - will win most LB match-ups. Runs well after the catch with good balance. Very good hands with ability to make tough catches. Agile and mobile - able to get quickly to second level and get the block. Experienced special teams player.
Size may be an issue for a run-oriented attack, however, he has the frame to add mass. Blocks straight-ahead adequately, but needs to demonstrate ability against elite ends to move-up in the draft.
5th round. Third fastest TE 40 at Combine; best VJ at 42.5" and great BJ at 10'10" - could be mid 4th round at best.
CDS has him as the 3rd best FB on the board. Again, as with TE, I don't see this as a big need this year but this guy is exactly what the team needs when it comes to the FB position. Old School, no neck, knee bender who will work his ass off in the blocking game but won't be, much to most on here's chagrin, considered a offensive threat. For me, I still don't think the Vikes us the FB in that mode anyways.
Marecic is an old school football player with great toughness, physicalness, and competitiveness. Takes great angles to make his blocks. Not afraid of contact and is aggressive in dishing out blocks. Delivers a nice pop on contact to shock the defender. Tries to block multiple defenders on the same play. Clears lanes for ball carriers and can make blocks inside as well as out in space and on the second level. Tough runner who'll find can sniff the first down marker or end zone well. Good hands as a receiver with enough fluidity in his routes to come up with the catch and turn upfield.
Does not possess great athletic ability. Good but not great strength, Marecic will find it difficult to root out bigger linebacker at the next level. Not much of a threat as a runner. As a receiver, he will not be able to separate from linebackers in man coverage because of his limited athleticism.
Fourth rounder. Marecic's toughness, intelligence, and blocking ability will give him a chance to start from day one as a fullback.
CDS didn't have this guy in their database so I went to fftoolbox (second url) for the scouting report. Again, another tweener that slips, not because of talent but because of numbers as a result of the team around him. I picked him because, like Brown, I thought he filled two roles and quite frankly, there wasn't much left to choose from on the big board other than a few Kickers. I almost plugged one in here by the way.
For the last three years TCU has led the nation in total defense. For the last three years Tejay Johnson has been the leader of that defense. The 6-1, 212 pound safety was one of just four true freshman to see action in 2007. As a backup free safety, Johnson earned some valuable experience. The Horned Frogs needed Johnson to develop quickly and step into a starting role in 2008. After missing the season opener with an injury, Johnson was slotted into the starting lineup and immediately emerged as a leader on the field. During his sophomore season Johnson tallied 47 tackles and a team high ten pass breakups.
Johnson took the next step in 2009 when he totaled 59 tackles, including an impressive 14 stops against BYU, and three interceptions. For his efforts Johnson was named to the All-Mountain West Conference Second-Team. Johnson continued to play very well during his senior season and had a career high 66 tackles. Johnson also picked off three passes and forced three fumbles.
Johnson is not your typical safety. He is certainly a big hitter, but he did not rack up tackles like many safeties do in college. Part of that is because Johnson is a great coverage safety and part of it is because the TCU defense is too good to allow the opposition to get into the secondary before they get tackled. Johnson is a superb leader on the field and has great instincts, but he will need to have some good pre-draft workouts to move out of the sixth to seventh round range.
CDS has him as the 15th best OLB and projects him as a 6th round pick. I picked him for two reasons, 1) we might need LB'rs if they can't resign Erin Henderson and 2) the kid has a lot of upside. Should provide instant help on ST's and could develop into a very good OLB in a couple of years.
Just really coming into his own as a defender, and is young with plenty of upside. A real upfield penetrator who makes a lot of plays in the backfield. Instinctive and tough. Flows to where the action is, and is a solid tackler. Can play in reverse and shows above average pass defense capabilities. All around package for an NFL WILL.
New to the position. A little bit tightly wound. May have a learning curve and may get deked a lot and find himself out of position a lot. One year wonder as a LB.
5-6th rounder. A real sleeper. Late chart climberMany many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

When did you last hear a church commended for her "manliness?" When did you last hear a missionary talk about the absence of men in Evangelical churches in Africa? Have you ever heard how a Christian "spearman" in Africa keeps the oodles of children in his church in order, or how he deals with the bones in his meat?
The author of the post, James Brinkerhoff, is the nephew of Scott Brinkerhoff. You and your church would do well to remove some of your missionaries who have long since turned away from Biblical doctrine and practice, and fill the holes that your due diligence opens up in your missions budget with Scott and James.
And what about the absence of men in African Evangelical churches? It may be the same reason men are absent or docile in American churches. Pastors run churches through the hard work of compliant women...
I'm sure many readers of Baylyblog consider my opposition to Christian organizations and publishers' claiming copyright on works in the public domain as quixotic, tilting at windmills.
But it's not tilting at windmills--not at all. Rather, it's a serious case of theft and you can get a better understanding of this evil by reading this article showing that the real piracy today isn't your teenage son using Limewire to download a song or movie. That's shoplifting and it's sin, but the real piracy is done by the large corporations abusing copyright law for their own profits. And Christian publishers are not speaking out against these abuses. I have yet to see or hear of them taking a Christian stand against such theft.
If a reader can point me to a place where they have opposed it, please do so. (TB, w/thanks to Lucas)
Want to know how I feel about Colts owner Jim Irsay interviewing former Ohio coach Jim Tressel as Jim Caldwell's replacement? I'm utterly disgusted. IU hired Tom Crean's predecessor, Kelvin Sampson, after he also lost his job because he was caught cheating. Can we please learn something?
Check out the first two questions and answers on the Indy Star blog and you'll see I'm not alone in my sentiments.
Come on, Mr. Irsay. We didn't even like you using Mr. Tressel to advise Coach Caldwell on his appeals, and now you're thinking of him to replace Coach Caldwell? Don't do it. Please don't do it. (TB)
Joseph Maracchli was the subject of an intense right-to-life battle in Canada last spring. Sadly, a couple months ago he died at his parents' home in Windsor, Ontario. He was 20 months old. Andrew Henry wrote about Joseph on Baylyblog back in March. You may review the details here.
The number of similar cases will explode in coming months and years and there are important lesssons Christian fathers and mothers should learn. God has given parents the natural affection and compassion for their own children that no doctor can truly have no matter how highly trained or respected he may be.
This is not to say that parents are incapable of being neglectful of their children, but it's the exception rather than the rule. God's good gift to children is parents who are loving and tender toward them.
The ever-increasing power and authority of government in our lives can only produce bad fruit, and the belief that a well-paid and benevolent bureaucracy can make better decisions than parents is wicked...
It's taken a while to get around to it, but here are a few responses to one reader's comments on the two earlier posts, "'Sodomite' is the most accurate, loving word (part I)..." and "'Sodomite' is the most accurate, loving word (part II)...".
James writes: ... Mr. Bayly attempts to address comments (that) he "did not take Sodom's explicitly stated sins very seriously." After reading the entirety of his post and what followed, it seemed very obvious that the person who made that comment was referring to Mr. Bayly's nearly complete ignoring of the Ezekiel text and almost total exaltation of the Jude text.
James, my purpose in what I've written has never been to give an historical analysis of all the sins of Sodom for which she was judged. Rather it has been to defend the church's historic use of the word 'sodomy' to designate same-sex carnal relations and to establish that according to the Word of God this was at the center of Sodom's wickedness. Homosexualists have spent decades promoting a revisionist interpretation of the Genesis account, seeking to remove sodomy from the list of sins God judged when He destroyed Sodom. And to that end they emphasize all the sins of Sodom that have nothing to do with sexual immorality. My purpose is not to analyze each of Sodom's sins but to defend the church's historic usage of the terms 'sodomy,' 'sodomitic,' and 'sodomite'...
One reader sent an e-mail reporting he couldn't find the Shaw quote on corporal punishment mentioned in an earlier post. He's right. I've looked for it several times through the years and couldn't find it either. Sorry. Still, I distinctly remember reading it about thirty years ago and I'm convinced it was Shaw, so that's how I report it.
Anyhow, in looking for that quote this reader came across another he forwarded...
(TB: On the occasion of the thirty-ninth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I post this message. It would please me if you would take the time to read it. Thank you.)
I remain amazed that abortion could even become a political issue in a country with pretensions to being civilized. It is as if we were to debate the merits of legalizing cannibalism, with the liberal side chanting the slogan "Keep government out of the kitchen!" There is no danger that the other side will ever be persuaded that it is wrong; there is, however, the very real danger that we will become discouraged, worn down, and inured to an evil that should always horrify and sicken us. The erosion of our consciences is surely part of the destructiveness of this abominable "procedure." - Joe Sobran

The Lord's Throne Is in Heaven
(For the choir director; a psalm of David.) In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain; for, behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string to shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain snares; fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup. For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; the upright will behold His face. (Psalm 11:1-7)
Thirty one (now thirty-nine) years ago today, on January 22nd, 1973, the Supreme Court of these United States issued its infamous ruling, Roe v. Wade, in which the Court declared that a mother's intentional killing of her unborn child was a fundamental right guaranteed under our Constitution. Since that ruling, it has been a commonplace to observe that Roe v. Wade, the Court's repeal of the laws prohibiting abortion on the books of all fifty states, was simply the exercise of raw judicial power with a legal justification based upon a mist and a vapor--or as the Court itself might put it, emanations from penumbras.
Our Supreme Court: intentionally conniving at murder...
Since 1973, no one has made a name for himself defending Roe. v. Wadeâs history, biology, ethics, logic, or justice; and only a few have been foolish enough to claim this ruling will stand the test of time...
Excellent blog post by son Joseph on the subject of the discipline of children and talk shows on Christian radio stations. Please read it. (TB)
Back in the early nineties at Evangelical Community Church here in Bloomington, I started a Calvin's Institutes Reading Group and a young graduate student at the church named Steve Baarendsee helped lead it. For most of the twenty-five or so men and women in the group, this was their formal introduction to Reformed theology and to the PCA (at the time I was PCA)...
Through FB our longtime friend Al Stout writes:
Here is the argument… Abortion is a decision between a woman and her doctor. It is a matter of privacy, and the health of the woman is all that can be considered in these decisions. The fetus is not an individual life. It is not a person. It is a thing (sometimes a parasite) that cannot be taken into account by a third party to the abortion decision. An abortion is like a kidney, lung, or cornea removal.Since the "thing" in a woman's womb is not a person, why are people upset abortions are performed for reasons of sex selection? For that matter...
Speaking of art, one blessing of Bloomington is the constant stream of operas (if you like that sort of stuff), recitals, and concerts flowing out of our music school. In the past few years a young husband and father of our congregation named Alex McNeilly has played his sax in several Jazz Ensemble concerts led by the universally respected jazz composer, Professor David Baker...
Two years ago at the PCA's General Assembly our denominational stated clerk, Roy Taylor, spoke in support of an Administrative Committee funding initiative. In defending the proposal, Roy criticized unnamed PCA bloggers for lacking the courage to speak personally to the authors of the initiative before opposing it on the internet.
Because I had opposed the initiative on this blog and because I don't see myself as a shoot-from-the-shadows critic of PCA leadership, I made my way forward to introduce myself at the end of the session.
I told Roy I was one of the bloggers he had just accused of cowardice, but added that I hoped he would accept on the basis of my presence before him that I was willing to say in person what I said on my blog. Nevertheless, I added, despite speaking to him in person I held myself in no way bound by Matthew 18 to approach members of the committee personally before publicly criticizing their plan.
Roy responded that he hadn't been aiming his criticism at me individually, adding that he neither knew of me nor was familiar with my blog--though he corrected himself later by saying, "Oh, I think I did see that blog once."
The conversation was cordial and direct. I ended by telling Roy that I'm willing to be held accountable for the things I write while he reassured me he had not intended to malign me personally.
I tell this story in light of a ByFaith Online article about a conclave of "PCA leaders" held at Roy Taylor's behest last Tuesday in Atlanta under what ByFaith calls "Chatham House Rules" to discuss "causes for conflict in the PCA that hamper our ministry and unity."

Re-lace quickly!
Spent a couple of hours trying to re-lace my Top Siders by hand, pushing and then pulling the laces through with several makeshift devices. Gave up in frustration! With this simple little device I was done and had the shoes on in five minutes!

The Necessary Needle
Bruno in DC
For years I have been thinking about customizing my Docksides with color laces. I desperately tried before Sebago released its lace needle and as one could expect it was a nightmare! This needle perfectly does the job and once you get used to it, it takes less than 10 minutes to change the lace on one shoe. A perfect and necessary tool to personalize your shoes with fun color laces.
Once you change the laces it is almost like you have a new pair of Docksides! We are so happy you find it easy and quick to change out your laces with this handy needle. Thanks!
