Atlanta's Archbishop Wilton Gregory sent a message to state and national lawmakers on Monday that the nation's Catholic bishops want comprehensive immigration reform. The Roman Catholic leader spoke at the opening dinner for a conference on immigration reform being held in Atlanta this week.The Archbishop said the bishops would resist efforts to give undocumented people legal status without the opportunity to become U.S. citizens.
"We will argue against the creation of a permanent underclass in this country, where certain parts of our population do not have the rights that others do. Our nation has been down this road before with disastrous results," said Gregory.The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Legal Immigration Network are sponsoring the national conference.

You readers with existing SB Nation accounts probably see a "Facebook Connect" blurb at the top of the page today. The heading of this FanShot links to an explanation of what that's about: Essentially, you can now log in (and comment, and share) at Lighthouse Hockey and other SBN sites through your Facebook account. You can "x" that blurb if you're not interested. But at any time you can connect your accounts through the blue "Connect" button on the title bar at the very very top of the page. We now continue with our regular programming. Happy surfing, Islanders fans.
"But enough about me. Let's hear you talk about me." -- a faux-narcissist line that a good friend of mine likes to use at parties Some of you know of the Isles "blog-off" at the NHL Arena message...
I don't know how much you all cruise the other SB Nation hockey sites, but I wanted to introduce a few new additions: Anaheim Calling is now a dedicated Ducks blog (Battle of California continues as a hybrid of singular Ana/LA/SJ and even Dallas views). Also, I neglected to formally mention it when it happened, but if you didn't notice, Gabe at Behind the Net -- my go-to for a lot of "advanced" stats perspective has moved his daily blog to SBN at BehindTheNetHockey.com. Lots of interesting questions there as the stats-oriented crowd tries to make numeric sense of this chaotic game.
Some quick site business: Don't know how many of you access Lighthouse Hockey via mobile phone, but the tech team behind SB Nation has launched an update that allows you to submit comments from your phone. Probably something that's more common in-season when actual games are being played, but save that in your quiver. They tested a lot of phones and browsers, but if you have trouble on yours, please let them know at email@example.com. They've also added a one-click "re-tweet" icon to each post. In case you're on Twitter and want to pass a post on, that loads it with the short URL for you. Enjoy! Or save for later. I have to say one of the many cool things about blogging here is the imaginative, always-responsive tech team. They rock just a tad.

Some helpful tips on how to post your own FanPost, FanShots, and other SBN tools here at Lighthouse Hockey and at any of the other blogs around the place. (Check the nav in the left-hand column under "More SBN Blogs" to see SBN blogs for other sports and teams you're interested in. A single username gets you comment access to any site around SBN.)
Two great, stylistically different hockey blogs migrated to SBN today. Habs blog "Eyes on the Prize" is part current news, part deep history lesson. The Panthers blog "Litterbox Cats" gives you Panthers news and perspective with a steady dose of visual humor. One thing attracting hockey bloggers here is SBN's interface, which makes fan participation a cinch. Have a cool photo? Impressions from attending a game? Theory about Scott Gordon? An old ticket stub with memories attached? Post it in the Fanshots or Fanposts. Signing on requires one simple step and zero invasive information -- yet helps prevent spam and riff-raff from polluting the conversation. And that's the beauty of SBN hockey blogs: smooth, fun hockey talk, without the white noise of anonymous trolls (present author excluded). So feel free to put your feet up and have a say - we're even open 24 hours!

Pubs fight for tax cuts
Pubs across the country are slashing their prices today in an attempt to demonstrate to the Government how the hospitality industry could benefit from a tax cut.
Many say it's unfair that supermarkets don't pay any tax on food and drink. Katie Rowlett reports from one Taunton pub that's taking part.

There are a lot of Filipino dishes which have place names attached to them even if they have no connection to them whatsoever. Lumpiang Shanghai is one of such dishes.
Lumpia means spring roll in Tagalog. It can be a fresh vegetable filled one or a fried one with a variety of fillings. This one is a fried mini spring roll with a mixture of pork and prawn filling. I think what the name merely means is that it is cooked in the Chinese style.
This is a firm favourite of Filipinos and is a very popular party food. Some food trucks have also introduced this in the US where it has been warmly welcomed by the food loving public.
300 gms. pork
100 gms. uncooked prawns, peeled and chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 bunches of spring onions, cut into thin rounds
1 clove, garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tbsps. oyster sauce
2 tbsps. brown sugar
2 tbsps. corn flour
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tbsp. flour mixed with 1 tbsp. water to form a paste
19 cm. x 19 cm. spring roll wrappers
cooking oil for frying
Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
Separate the spring roll wrappers.
Put a heaping tablespoon of filling on one corner, pat into a long shape and fold over. Fold the two sides towards the center and roll. Dot the corner with the paste (made with the flour and water) and stick to seal.
Deep fry, a few pieces at a time, in hot oil for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet chilli or sweet and sour sauce (see the recipe here).

Effects of the 2011 Floods Two Years Later
9/8/2013 (Updated 10:54:48 PM)Saturday was the 2 year anniversary of the 2011 floods that devastated our area and people are still trying to recover. Fox 40 talked with some of them and took a look back at what happened on that day 2 years ago.
It's hard not to find someone in Owego who wasn't affected by the 2011 floods.The town is still recovering and so are its businesses that were forced to close for weeks and months and then start all over again like Rhonda Renelles, owner of Sweet Valley Chocolates and Backery.
"We opened approximately a year before the flood happened and we did get water on the first floor," she said. "We were closed for three months and we weren't sure if we were going to be able to reopen at all."
The owner of Johns Fine Foods on North Ave in Owego couldnt get back to his store until 2 days after the flood.
"We had 3 feet of water here in the store. I don't know we probably lost well over 100,000 worth of merchandise at least," John Hitchings said.
But there was one thing that kept the people of the small town going and that was their reliance on each other.
"The glorious thing about Owego is just everyone worked together to help each other," Lisa Curatolo said.
Soon businesses reopened and people slowly started coming to Owego's downtown again.
"I just didn't want to get beaten by the flood if I was going to close I wanted it to be for other reasons and not something like that," Renelles said.
Business owners in Owego said it was the support of everyone in the Southern Tier that helped rebuild their downtown.
"People from Vestal, people from Endicott, Endwell, Towanda, Sayre, everyone came to help support the businesses in the downtown," Curatolo said.
But while it has been two years some say business still isn't the same.
"It's not like it was. And it's not just me it's everybody. You talk to everybody and everybody is still down," Hitchings said.
However the business owners also said they are hopeful that things will be back to normal soon but the possibility of another flood does remain in the back of their minds.

Just how secure are your passwords? While a simple "12345" may be easy to crack, for motivated hackers, even those who create complicated passwords could be at risk.
Recently, a security company rated the top 100 e-commerce sites on their password requirements, using numbers, upper and lower cases, and special characters. Apple got a perfect score, followed by Microsoft. Target tied for fourth and Best Buy ranked 11th. Yet, the password strength may not even matter since many of the biggest sites have a loophole just about any hacker can exploit.
READ: The Illusion of Personal Security in E-Commerce
In the digital age, it's safe to assume someone is always looking over your shoulder, even if it's just while using the Wi-Fi network at the local coffee shop.
Computer security expert Mark Lanterman demonstrated how, with just $100 worth of equipment and the knowledge of a 17-year-old hacker, he could cherrypick passwords from websites maintained by big retailers -- including Apple, eBay, Amazon and Target.
Lanterman discovered the same flaw in the MNsure website, which took the state weeks to acknowledge.
"The bad guys already know about this," he warned.
In fact, the vulnerability was demonstrated at the notorious hacker convention, DEFCON, in Las Vegas. Here's how it works:
1. The crooks set up a Wi-Fi network with a familiar name.
2. When people sign in, the hacker intercepts the password with a modified router that prevents encryption.
3. In the jumble of code, passwords can be found.
"This is a flaw that could easily be fixed," Lanterman said. "We've worked with a number of organizations."
Best Buy and several banks have taken steps to close that loophole. In fact, Lanterman says Best Buy's website is far more secure than Apple, Target or Microsoft. Yet, he says the problem is that many retailers are more concerned about making it easy for shoppers to spend money than they are concerned with making it hard for others to steal information.
"This has nothing to do with convenience," Lanterman said. "This has to do with missing a wide open barn door when you're building your web page."
Anyone wondering how they can protect themselves can do something simple. Just go to the address bar and add an 's' after the http. That will help make a more secure transaction. Additionally, smart phones and tablets don't' seem to be as easy to compromise.

SUNDAY SLUGFEST: Avengers vs. X-Men #2A comic review article by: Shawn Hill, Jamil Scalese, Chris Kiser
Shawn: Welcome back, Comics Bulletin readers! I hope everyone is enjoying our trio's look at this unfolding saga, now in its second official installment after a prelude and a debut. Initially we agreed to hold judgment until the series' proper debut, which we were fairly mixed to middling about. Take that, best selling comic of 2012! Lace up your boots good and tight, ladies and gents, 'cause our conflicted responses weren't enough to drive us away for good!
Last issue, we couldn't get away from the Civil War comparisons. This month they're even harder to avoid, despite a change in scripter that takes us away from some of our beloved Bendis verbal tics and towards some more heartfelt expressions of fear, anxiety and anger from several key players. Most memorably Wolverine, Quicksilver and Hope herself. The entire issue is the extended battle sequence promised last issue, with a great shot of the Helicarrier hovering over the isolated island of Utopia starting things off on a tense, ominous note.
Jamil: You noted the two things I think separate "Round Two" from the opening salvo: the snappy, appropriate dialogue, and the nonstop face-punching.
Avengers vs. X-Men #2 is chock full of character moments and memorable violence. Jason Aaron packs a lot of players into the fracas and I admit it feels less grave and more fun, even if the stakes are extremely high. Cyclops getting bonked on the dome by Cap's shield twice in the span of 20 pages? Gold.
Chris: Are the battle scenes in this non-stop fight issue fun? I guess so, but it's hard for me to find them particularly engaging when I don't feel that this book has done an adequate job of properly building up to the grand scope that is now being superimposed upon them. Sure, Marvel put out plenty of prelude material to this miniseries, but, as we've discussed, none of that managed to make itself a wholly relevant part of the actual story. This is only the second issue of what anyone should consider the real AvX, and it appears that Aaron and the band already want us to believe that we've reached some sort of superhero-on-superhero climax. Sorry, but Avengers vs. X-Men #1 did not do near enough to sell me on the central conflict to warrant the full throttle approach being taken here.
You're looking for a Marvel series to compare this to other than Civil War? How about X-Men: Schism, released less than a year ago, which saw a similar ideological split between heroes result in super-powered fisticuffs. Unlike AvX, though, Schism saved the bulk of its infighting for the end, utilizing the appropriate measure of rising action to give those moments true weight. It was the best Marvel event book I've read in quite some time, but it wouldn't have been so if Cyclops and Wolverine climbed into the Octagon a mere 30 pages in. And, hey! Jason Aaron wrote that series too, so it's an extra disappointment to see the quality of the product he's contributing to this time around.
Jamil: Maybe my satisfaction comes from me reading this more as a "popcorn flick" as opposed to something ambitious or even a story Marvel fans deserve. The event is broken at its core. We've already discussed the problems in Marvel's two biggest and most popular teams battling it out, but for what it is, I walked away happy. It's a sad, sad endorsement to say I am content with something because my original expectations were extremely low, but that might be the case here.
I see the whole central conflict as a throwback to the crossovers of the Silver Age where one superhero would fight over basically nothing. To me, this thing is basically Cyclops vs. Avengers the way it's been built up so far. Scott threw the first punch, and the Utopians were compelled to follow with the impromptu plan. It went down like this because Schism just happened; the Extinction team in particular have just recently thrown all their eggs in the Cyclops basket and probably feel an obligation to follow his lead on this. I'd argue that Scott has more clout than any other Mutant, maybe even Xavier.
Shawn: While Storm has returned to her mutant brethren (the better to squabble with estranged husband and fellow Avenger T'Challa), the surprise for most is that Wolverine has not. He's been a weird kind of team player since his Alpha Flight days (that gruff exterior seldom belying a need for loving affection), and the New Avengers have been a positive home for him. Who knew that on the mutant divide he'd be the assimilationist, in contrast to Scott's current separatist position?
It makes a kind of sense to me, I guess, because Logan has always had a soft spot for the defenseless, especially the young and vulnerable. Call it Beauty and the Beast, but it explains his bonding with Jubilee and many other sidekicks of one kind or another over the years. It explains why he's keeping the legacy of the School for Gifted Youngsters intact (if in Jean's name rather than Xavier's), while Scott has become a hard-line military strategist and freedom warrior.
Jamil: The "fault-line" Mutants, like Ororo and Pietro, remain one of the most compelling elements of AvX. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those characters switch sides at some point. One character I hope the team addresses soon is Beast, currently assisting the "away team" Avengers in cutting off Phoenix at the proverbial pass. Hank being where he is a statement in itself, but his situation is unique as a founding member of X-Men and a fiercely proud Avenger mainstay; I'd like to hear his opinion on things.
Logan is the de facto star of this issue. He has some of the best lines and moments, and it's not a mystery why with Aaron at the wheel. Wolverine for sure loves him some team action. Even though he might be the icon for the X-Men, I am not bothered by his allegiance to Captain America in this specific scenario. First, he hates Scott Summers as much as ever, and the Schism wounds are likely still fresh. Second, I agree with you on his experience with the New Avengers, and I think Logan understands there is a bigger picture than the plights of Mutants. The Logan you mention, the one with the soft spot, isn't the one we see the end of the issue. That "SNIKT!"moment is a candidate for my favorite panel so far.
Chris: You know, those character-driven aspects should be the heart of this book. Why, then, does Aaron expend so much authorial energy directing our attention to the details of the fights themselves? I am, of course, referring to all those awkward, overwritten captions that seek to wax poetic over things like a big red man punching a big metal man. "Irradiated muscles strain. Organic metal groans… The San Andreas Fault shudders with each blow." It's pretty painful. For 22 pages, Aaron treats Dan Jurgens' script for Superman #75 as the definitive manual on writing for comics, yet never once does he approach a moment as singular as the death of Superman. Either that or he's purposefully channeling Chris Claremont, who, for all his great contributions to comics, wrote in a caption-heavy style that holds up poorly to today's standards.
The whole thing just comes across as forced. Again, if the story structure had given these fights more backbone, there wouldn't be the need to work so hard to play them up as big an important. As it is, Aaron is stuck using a gimmick that, to me, creates a major distraction.
Jamil: I, too, am a little weirded out by the captions. Some were good (like the Iron Man/Magneto moment), most were just funky and felt like posturing for sister series AvX: Versus.
Shawn: While I like how many of the beats in this battle no one wants play out, I have worries on a few fronts: Wanda is staying in the shadows, just as she did at the beginning of "Disassembled" (though Quicksilver chooses an interesting side for once). And Hope finally takes action to determine her own fate, which would be good, except how much determination can you have when already possessed by the Phoenix? That didn't go so well for Jean in the past.
Jamil: I think we'll see plenty of Wanda, Shawn. You'll get your fill, don't worry.
Shawn: I'm not worried she won't be in it; I'm worried what she'll do once she finally shows up.
Jamil: Hope's full Phoenix rage-on is a bit of a surprise. Not sure how that thread is going to play out, and how it connects with the other Phoenix (the entity). If Phoenix is in Hope and Hope is on Earth, why does the one at the beginning of AvX #1 and Point One matter at all? I'm kind of a noob on the topics of god-like forces of death and rebirth so maybe I'm not understanding something.
Chris: I don't think we're supposed to view the Phoenix Force as something that actually exists in physical space. The flaming bird we've been seeing flying through the cosmos toward Earth seems to be more metaphorical than actual, its impending arrival representing the point when Hope will become the Phoenix's new host in full.
Shawn: That makes sense. I see it more as Hope sort of being the ideal receiver to whatever the Phoenix is broadcasting. Pretty soon everyone will hear it, but right now only Hope has the right frequency. I also enjoyed the "Snikt!" moment, and the fallout. It echoes many of Wolverine's encounters (either threatened or actual) with those possessed by the Phoenix, and it seems she's gotten a little tired of his interference, to judge by the extreme response.
Chris: In our discussion of the last issue, I mentioned my dissatisfaction with John Romita, Jr.'s abilities to clearly depict a multi-character action scene. Well, those are pretty much the only kind of scenes we get this week, so it's a bit surprising to see that he's been given the drawing duties again. To Romita's credit, the melee is much easier to follow this time, but I still question the choice to feature him on this book. In a lot of the wide-angle shots, his characters appear big-headed and stumpy, and there is the matter of his style tilting more retro than cutting edge. Given the book's preference for spectacle over story, perhaps Marvel should have signed up one of those artists the critics always make fun of -- like Greg Land, perhaps -- who would at least have all the 14-year-old boys thinking this was the most awesome thing they'd ever seen.
Shawn: That would have at least insured me not buying it, as I put my foot down regarding Land with Ultimate Power and the Girl Wrestler Serpent Squad, and haven't bought an issue he drew since, no matter who wrote it. He's the worst! JR Jr. is infinitely preferable, and I think he's doing well with a huge cast. Skewing retro is almost never a problem for me, since I still get excited whenever Ron Frenz, Sal Buscema, Mike Grell, Michael Golden etc. even do a cover, much less illustrate a full new issue of something. One aspect of "retro" to me is storytelling ability taking precedence over splash pages.
I can't comment on Schism, having skipped it entirely, but I don't find this story as shallow as you do, Chris. We're not just getting narration (in fact, I hadn't even noticed how much of it there is until you pointed it out); we're getting conversations to go along with the fights. These are adults, and they're trying to reason with each other over this impossible situation. They look and sound like adults (well, except for Red Hulk, I guess).
The mutants are openly questioning Scott's extremism, and the Avengers are doubtful if this is the best approach. If we dare to pick up the WMD parallel again, perhaps this is rather like a smaller country testing nuclear weapons, when one of the big world powers tells them to stop. The big power thinks it has the right, for the greater good, and the little one thinks they need to protect themselves. In this case, they know that Phoenix can destroy planets if it wants. And they fear that Hope (whom Cap has met) may not be able to control it any better than Jean did. Nobody wants Dark Hope!
Chris: I'd love to read that smart comic about nuclear proliferation that we're writing here in these reviews. Too bad the one Marvel is publishing is the superhero equivalent of pro wrestling.
Jamil: Yeah, we give this a little too much credit in the theme department. Right now it's just a big fight, with the plot void of additional layers. In fact, this event is so bare right now I am convincing myself that there must be a few outrageous twists coming down the line.
Shawn: I think there are definitely plenty of twists to come. Nobody expected Hope to take the path she did at the end of the issue. This first volley is essentially over with that surprise; I don't see this fight as the major conflict at all. It's going to get a lot darker before Phoenix rises.
Jamil: So, to sum up, I liked this issue for all of its charm and action, but there is no way this extrapolated over the entire series is acceptable. The way comics are told these days I didn't expect to see the big throwdown for another couple episodes, so I think I'm just happy the story has some legs and is moving along.
So I think we're locked in, huh, guys? We Slugfest'd #0-2 of AvX and with these things coming out every two weeks me might have committed ourselves to tackling the whole shebang. If that's the case I wish you guys good luck, and good mental health. We'll probably need it.

*Please visit my website, www.ElectPeterMurphy.com, for more news and information related to my 2014 campaign.*
Dear Friends,
This winter I have spoken with a great number of Charles County residents who engaged me in conversation on issues that they care deeply about. The topics of our conversations were varied, but amid the diverse concerns and opinions expressed to me, one common theme stood out: a distinct sense of misgiving about the future of Charles County and the unresponsiveness of its elected leadership.
While I continue to find my work in the legislature tremendously rewarding, I share my constituents' concerns. For that reason, and because I believe I can make a positive difference in a new role, I made the difficult decision to forgo my bid for re-election in 2014 as Delegate and run instead for Charles County Commissioner President.
Many of you are already aware of my decision, and I am both gratified and humbled at the nearly universal expressions of support that I have received. I am grateful for that support, and I hope I can count on you to stand with me as my new campaign progresses. In the meantime, please know that I am still your elected delegate and remain committed to representing your interests in Annapolis through the remainder of my term.
Over two terms in the Maryland General Assembly, I've made it a point to be accessible and responsive to your needs, and I plan to serve all of you with the same dedication and enthusiasm as your next commissioner president.
My best,
Delegate Peter F. Murphy
Charles County, District 28

The problem with current efforts toward comprehensive immigration reform, as with the earlier Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (the last legislative success on immigration reform), is that the United States is trying to enact a bill that caters to many conflicting views and interests.

Christian Death Biography
Officially there have been over 30 musicians involved with the band. Therefore a historical litany of them all would be impractical. Formed in Los Angeles and fronted by 16 year old vocalist/lyricist [bandmember from=1981 to 1985]Rozz Williams[/bandmember],the name was NOT a corruption of fashion designer Christian Dior's name like some people claimed untruly, it was a relation between Jesus Christ dying and sacrificing himself for men, therefore there was a later band name called The Sin And The Sacrifice Of A Christian Death. This line-up of the band released their only album, Only Theatre of Pain, in 1982. A dark, sinister style of punk rock. The album gained local success. A year later the band completely broke up. Singer Rozz then teamed up with members from the band Pompeii 99 founded by singer, guitarist, song writer Valor Kand. Rozz took over vocals leaving Valor to focus on guitar. Pompeii 99 had released one album, Look At Yourself, to much acclaim; it, too, can be said to have an apocalyptic theme with a punk rock flavor though some songs, such as "Love Me For My Mind" are far more pop in nature. Pompeii 99 had been planning their first tour when it was proposed by their French record company to merge Pompeii 99 into a new version of Christian Death which, after some debate, was agreed upon. Thus, began the new line-up of Christian Death and the first Pompeii 99 tour became the first Christian Death tour. Part way through the tour the band stopped in Wales to record songs, some of which were originally intended for the next Pompeii 99 album, the fusion of which led to the unique sound of the classic Catastrophe Ballet. Like the first Pompeii 99 album, Catastrophe Ballet had an apocalyptic theme, however the music morphed into something not quite Pompeii 99 and nothing like the first Christian Death album; more melancholy thasn the former and more bittersweet than the latter. After the tour the band returned to LA to later record the 3rd Christian Death album, Ashes, an album which borrowed much of its styling from UK contemporaries Sex Gang Children and from French cabaret music. After confirming the second tour in 1985 singer Rozz quit the band. Valor returned to vocals and agreed to rename the group Sin And Sacrifice. The band embarked on the send tour under the name Christian Death much to Rozz's displeasure. In Italy the band recorded the EP, The Wind Kissed Pictures. Almost immediately work began on the fourth full length album, Atrocities, inspired by the atrocities of World War II and the connection to future shock waves. While continuously touring in 1987 the band released their fifth album, The Scriptures, the theme of which explored world religion and how the legacy of these beliefs impact our world today. 1988 Brought us the release of Sex & Drugs & Jesus Christ. This was turning point for the band. The cover depicted an image of Jesus shooting up heroin. This was a full frontal attack by Valor against the Church with a scathing heretical mockery of organized Christianity. The band then found themselves confronted by protesters, riots and bomb threats, These events and the bands imagery and fashion, in addition to the theatrical performances from their debut album, went on to influence the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Korn, Marilyn Manson,, Type O Negative, and many others. 1988 also saw the departure of Gitane DeMone; her relationship with Valor having ended (with two children, one being Sevan Kand, whose crying was sampled on the title track to Ashes and who sang lead on the later song "I Hate You"), and citing artistic differences and her continued friendship with Rozz as her primary reasons for leaving. 1989 saw the release of the double album epic All the love, all the hate, interpreting the juxtaposition between life and death, day and night, man and woman, black and white. In 1991 came the release of Insanus, Ultio, Proditio, Misericordiaque, with its theme of an ancient dream state. Late in 1991, after focusing primarily on his noise/performance art act, Premature Ejaculation and the deathrock/hardcore punk band Shadow Project (co-fronted with his then-girlfriend, and briefly wife, Eva O), and seven years after quitting Christian Death, Rozz Williams performed a concert in Los Angeles under the name Christian Death with other former members Rikk Agnew (guitarist) and George Bellanger. On the same day Christian Death was in Europe performing in Paris, France. Assuming this was a one time effort to earn extra cash, Valor ignored the incident and carried on recording and touring, only to later learn that a live album of the show, ...invocation, had been released using the name Christian Death. This was followed by a studio album called The Iron Mask (an album predominantly of re-recordings of songs from Only Theatre of Pain), a reference to the Alexandre Dumas novel about a usurper who imprisons the rightful heir to the throne; The Iron Mask featured yet another line-up supporting Rozz Williams on vocals that included Eva O on guitar and backing vocals, and bassist William Faith (who later formed faith & the muse with then-girlfriend, now-wife, Monica Richards of Washington DC-area gothic rock band, Strange Boutique). This led to a turf-war between the two bands for the right to use the name, during which time, Valor managed to trademark the name and Cleopatra Records would release the next two studio albums, The Path of Sorrows and The Rage of Angels, as "Christian Death featuring Rozz Williams" to avoid legal conflict; depending on who you ask amongst Williams' friends, these two albums were originally intended as Shadow Project albums. By 1994, female vocalist and bass guitarist Maitri, (the now 2nd most continuous member of Christian Death) joined the band to record Sexy Death God which proclaimed sexual freedom in the face of religious adversity. This was followed up by Prophecies, in 1996. Sadly in 1998, Rozz Williams committed suicide. It is believed a combination of his battles with heroin addiction, a cataclysmic love-life, and general failing health played a role, as no "proper" form of suicide note was found by the body. In that same year, Christian Death released Pornographic Messiah. In 1999 Christian Death released "Born Again anti Christian" which featured members of Cradle of Filth and a song sung by Dani Filth. The album theme was an assault on Born Again Christians as well as having the first songs inspired by mass murderers . In 2000 the band promoted the album on tour with Cradle Of Filth. While on tour with Cradle Of Filth, former Cradle of Filth Drummer Will Was Sargenson played in Christian Death. In 2002, Maitri the second most continuous member of Christian Death released her debut album and band Lover Of Sin with songs and production collaboration by Valor. Later that year Cradle Of Filth guitarist Gian Peres joined Christian Death for the 2003 tour, Lover Of Sin was the support, with Tony Norman of Morbid Angel on guitar, Howard Davis of Evans Blue on drums and Juan Punchy Gonzalez on guitar. In 2007/8, Christian Death released their 13th studio album "American Inquisition", on the strength of it's success, the band did "FOUR" European tours and one USA tour, all in 2008.

"I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you," he said in a 13.5-minute speech before a private gathering at the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse.
"I have made you question who I am and how I could have done the things I did. I'm embarrassed that I put you in this position. For all that I have done, I am so sorry."
Woods also confirmed that he has spent 45 days undergoing inpatient therapy for sex addiction and that he'll return Saturday for continued treatment. While expressing a desire to return to competitive golf, he left any specifics unanswered.
"I do plan to return to golf one day. I just don't know when that day will be," he said. "I don't rule out that it'll be this year. When I do return, I need to make my behavior more respectful of the game."
To all but his closest inner circle and those treating him, Friday marked Woods' first sighting since the wee hours of Nov. 27, when he crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and tree outside his Isleworth driveway.
A dazed Woods was rushed to the hospital, then went into seclusion upon his release. The accident came hard on the heels of a National Enquirer report that Woods was carrying on an affair with Rachel Uchitel, a New York City events planner who reportedly had accompanied the golfer to the Australian Open in November.
In the days that followed, more than a dozen women came forward or were identified in tabloid reports as having affairs with Woods. Until Friday, Woods' only response came in three brief statements issued on his website.
"I was unfaithful," Woods admitted Friday. "I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable, and I'm the only person to blame. I stopped living by the core values I was taught to believe in."
Woods' mother, Kultida, was seated near the end of the front row to hear her son's remarks. Also among those in attendance were PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and fellow tour pro and Stanford roommate Notah Begay III.
Noticeably absent was Elin Woods, the golfer's wife.
"Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior," Woods said. "As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words. It will come in my behavior over time.
"What we say to each other will remain between the two of us. I'm also aware of the pain my behavior has caused those of you in this room. I have let you down, and I have let down my fans."
Woods also took time to chastise the tabloid media not for reporting his foibles but for tailing his wife and young children. The couple has a 2½ year-old daughter, Sam, and 1-year-old son, Charlie.
"My behavior doesn't make it right for the media to follow my 2½-year-old daughter to school and report the school's location," Woods said. "They staked out my wife and they pursued my mom.
"Whatever my wrongdoings, for the sake of my family, please leave my wife and kids alone."
Woods also denied speculation that he has used performance-enhancing drugs -- a rumor stemming from the arrest of a Canadian doctor, Tony Galea, who used a radical blood treatment to help Woods recover from knee surgery last year.
Though the setting was private, Woods' words quickly spread worldwide. ABC, CBS and NBC all broke into regular programming to carry the speech. ESPN and Golf Channel provided extended coverage.
"I don't know the extent to which the American public generally allows him the opportunity to demonstrate where he's headed in a credible way," Finchem said, addressing a phalanx of worldwide media who watched the speech from a hotel ballroom a mile away from the Sawgrass clubhouse.

Al Wynn Should Step Down Now
by Natasha Chart, Thu Apr 03, 2008 at 01:48:07 AM EDT
Rep. Al Wynn has already accepted a job with Dickstein Shapiro, a very high-powered, DC lobbying firm. These are just a handful of their many clients:
- Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc.
- Credit Suisse First Boston LLC
- Duke Energy
- Electric Power Supply Association
- General Motors Corporation
- Kraft Foods, Inc.
- Lorillard Tobacco Company
- Tyson Foods, Inc.
- Wachovia Bank, N.A.
If the House votes on telecom immunity, energy or global warming policy, a final version of the farm bill, or a bailout of our nation's utterly irresponsible financial services sector, between now and June when Wynn has said he'll step down, on whose behalf will he be voting?
Join CREW in asking him to step down now, because, at the very least, he hasn't even started his job and he's already out of compliance with the House ethics rules.

Sure win gets away from Sox in ninth
Papelbon surrenders two-run homer for first blown save
BOSTON -- Closer Jonathan Papelbon, who never shies away from taking the blame on those rare occasions when he loses a game, didn't need an instant replay to see why he is no longer perfect in save opportunities this season. He knew that he simply made a bad pitch at the wrong time, and that's why the Red Sox fell to the Mets in a 3-2 heartbreaker at Fenway Park on Saturday night.
"It's not shocking, because the simple fact is, it's an overthrown fastball right down the middle," said Papelbon of the two-run homer he surrendered to Omir Santos.
The hit was initially ruled a double but overturned under Major League Baseball's instant replay system -- officially instituted on Aug. 28, 2008 -- which allows the umpires to review questionable home run calls.
As the replay would eventually make the correct call, Papelbon knew that he'd clearly made the wrong pitch.
"The guys in the big leagues, they're going to do that. It just wasn't a well-executed pitch," said Papelbon, who is now 11-for-12 in save opportunities.
With two outs and one on in the top of ninth, Papelbon, clinging to a one-run lead, reached back for a fastball that would finish the Mets. Santos ripped the 97-mph heater over the red line that marks the top of the Green Monster. The ball hit off the ledge just above that line and caromed back into play.
By Fenway Park ground rules, that is a home run. Third-base umpire Paul Nauert said that it hit off the Monster, resulting in a double that set up runners at second and third with two outs.
But after the umpires huddled, they went into tunnel just behind the Boston dugout to initiate the replay. Crew chief Joe West emerged shortly thereafter with the verdict -- a two-run homer.
"Cut and dried," said West. "We looked at the replay, and ... it cleared the red metal piece. [If you] hit the back piece, that is a home run, which is the ground rule here. Looking up in the lights, looking up like he had to, the third-base umpire Paul Nauert made his best effort and felt, in the best interest of the play, to keep it in play, because we can always change it to a home run."
The Red Sox knew that once West opted for the replay, the original call would be overturned.
"From where I'm sitting, it's probably a little anticlimactic," said manager Terry Francona. "I kind of thought I saw what I saw. I was probably hoping against hope, but it's a tough game to lose."
"I thought it was a home run -- I did," said Papelbon. "I saw it go over the line, and I thought I was going to get away with one for a little bit there. Once I saw Joe West walking toward our dugout, I knew that either, A, they were going to go for a replay, or B, they were going to tell [Francona] it was going to be a home run. So I knew it wasn't good from there."
Papelbon's rare misfire spoiled a brilliant night from ace Josh Beckett, who had fired eight innings, allowing five hits and one unearned run.
"I felt good," said Beckett. "I keep making progress."
It was Beckett's fourth quality start in a row, and his best performance since Opening Day.
In actuality, there was something that upset Papelbon even more than the home run pitch.
"I give up a leadoff walk [to Gary Sheffield]," he said. "If I don't do that, maybe we're still playing the ballgame. That's kind of upsetting, because I'm out there overthrowing the ball a little bit. A little too intense for me. I wasn't able to kind of throttle it down."
While Papelbon tried to cool off in the dugout, the Red Sox attempted to rally right back in the bottom of the ninth against J.J. Putz. Kevin Youkilis led off with a walk. Jason Bay hit a rocket to third, but David Wright made a tremendous play and fired to second for the forceout. Mets second baseman Luis Castillo somehow stayed on the bag despite being off-balance. J.D. Drew then hit a laser to right, but it was right at Angel Pagan for the out. Mike Lowell grounded out to end the game.
"We played a good game," said Francona. "We talk so much about maybe trying to spread it out or give yourself a cushion so if you make a mistake, it doesn't cost you a game."
The Boston offense, after getting a two-run single from Youkilis in the bottom of the first, didn't do anything against Mike Pelfrey or the Mets' bullpen for the rest of the night.
Papelbon was left to feel the brunt of the tough loss.
"The way I look at is, I basically pitched two months without blowing a save. I blew a save tonight. I thought the team played great, and I'm going shoulder this one," he said. "This is on my shoulders. It's my job to go out there and preserve the win, and I didn't. It's on me. Tonight's on me. I just want to be back out there and get a chance tomorrow and pick my guys up and let them know that I'm still here kicking."

The bankruptcy-sidelined Chicago Spire condo development may yet rise, the Sun-Times is reporting.
The developer of the project has an agreement from an investor to provide up to $135 million, allowing it to pay off claims and emerge from bankruptcy, if approved, according to court documents.
Shelbourne North Water Street L.P., controlled by real estate developer Garrett Kelleher, has secured a commitment from Atlas Apartment Holdings LLC to provide the investment, according to the filing that was made Thursday.
The Shelbourne project aimed to build what was planned as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere on a 2.2 acre site at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive, was crushed by the collapse of the real estate market and recession, which landed it in foreclosure and bankruptcy.
But plans call for moving full steam ahead with the 150-story development when the company emerges from bankruptcy, said Tom Murphy, an attorney for Shelbourne.
"Given the ongoing recovery in the Chicago property market, the timing is better now than when this project commenced," Kelleher said in a statement. "I am delighted to have found a partner who believes in the project as passionately as I do."
The Atlas investment "should be sufficient based on what we know of the claims that have been filed" to pay off creditors, Murphy said.
Atlas CEO Steven Ivankovich has been working with Kelleher over the past several months and shares "his belief and vision in the Chicago Spire," Ivankovich said in a statement. "This is a building that deserves to be built and built in Chicago. Atlas is committed to making this happen."
But funding to complete the project has not yet been secured by the parties.
"They're negotiating with their financial lenders to continue the project," Murphy said.
Construction on the project was halted after the vertical foundations of the tower and underground garage had been completed, along with ramps to lower Lake Shore Drive.
Resuming the project would provide more than 15,000 construction jobs, according to the Chicago Building Trades Council.
The planned swirling condo tower was designed by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
The Associated Press reported Friday a Spanish court ordered Calatrava to pay $4 million in compensation to property development company Jovellanos XXI for what it called shortcomings in Calatrava's work on the city hall for the northern Spanish city of Oviedo.

Asian lesbians are having some fun in between sets at work. They work in the casino and enjoy some time in the dressing room before they change costumes to the next act on stage.

I saw this hot Asian babe in a movie on the web last night. There was nothing else to do and the crowd was thin so iI thought it might spice up the evening.

You will love the view of her getting fucked doggy style, as she gets filled up on both ends. Her pussy is so welcoming that these guys don´t want to leave, even when they´re cumming and creampie her.

Seattle Mariners round-by-round picks
SEATTLE -- They call it the "war room" and it's the place where the future takes
center stage.
A rectangular table, large enough to seat almost 20 people and several laptop
computers, fills the middle of the room located on the fifth floor at SAFECO
One of the walls in the room is filled with approximately 400 names that are
broken down into regions, positions and ability levels. There is a list for
right-handed and left-handed pitchers, catchers, first basemen, second basemen,
third basemen, shortstops, left fielders, center fielders and right fielders.
There is no designated hitter's list.
Below each position are the following categories: Outstanding, Above Average, Average, and Below Average.
Each name is code-colored. Green represents a high school player. Black
signifies a college player. Blue is for a Junior College player and purple
designates a fifth-year college player.
As the start of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft approaches, the Mariners' front
office personnel -- from general manager Pat Gillick to director of scouting
Frank Mattox to secretaries -- settle in for the fast-paced draft that will
consume about five hours on Tuesday and approximately that much time on
The majority of players selected during the two-day draft never will wear a MLB
uniform. But every player drafted and the organization drafting him share the
same dream of someday playing in the Major Leagues.
Almost five minutes before the draft begins, club president Chuck Armstrong
comes into the room and welcomes everyone to, "The 2002 Draft, starring Frank
Several minutes later, Armstrong leaves the room just as quietly as he enters.
At precisely 10 a.m., the 2002 First-Year Player Draft begins with a roll call.
All 30 MLB teams are supposed to be connected to the conference call. A voice
says, "Pirates" and there is a delay. Someone in the room has a ready quip -
"Pirates pass", he says and everyone laughs.
"Pirates here," booms a voice from a speakerphone.
Another pause comes after "Tigers" was announced. Someone at MLB headquarters in
New York City says the Detroit representative had been disconnected and contact
was being re-established. A few seconds later, the roll call continued with the
Tigers' rep present and accounted for. There are no more delays.
The Pirates, drafting first, select right-handed pitcher Bryan Bullington, which
surprises no one.
It is quiet in the Mariners war room as the first round goes quickly.
Unlike the NFL and NBA drafts, where teams are "on the clock", the MLB draft
pace is fast and furious. The average time between picks is measured in seconds,
not minutes.
As Roger Jongewaard, the vice president of scouting and player development had
said a week earlier, the Mariners wanted to use their high draft picks to select
position players, preferably those with excellent run-producing potential.
Baseball America's Allan Simpson (MLB's version of Mel Kiper) had predicted how
the first round of the draft would go. He was right on with Bullington being the
first overall pick and nailed the No. 2 choice -- B.J. Upton, a shortstop from
Greenbrier Christian High, regarded by the publication as the No. 1 prospect.
As the draft continued, there continued to be mostly silence from the Mariners'
quiet war room.
The Mariners had to sweat out 27 picks before it was their turn. The noise level
increased when the Arizona Diamondbacks selected shortstop Sergio Santos.
Faster than you could say "your turn", the Mariners selected John Mayberry Jr.,
the son of former MLB star John Mayberry Sr., who played for the Houston Astros
(1968-71), Kansas City Royals (1972-77), Toronto Blue Jays (1978-82) and Yankees
Gillick, who acquired the elder Mayberry when he was the Blue Jays' GM, stepped out of
the room and pumped his fist in obvious elation.
And Mattox was all smiles as he stepped outside the war room to talk about the
organization's first-round draft choice.
"Right after the 20th or 21st pick, I said, 'OK, he's there, he's there," Mattox
said. "I didn't want anything to happen at the last moment to cause a time out.
When it got past 20, I had one guy in mind and that's the guy we got. I'm pretty

Buying and/or selling a home can be a very stressful and exciting time. Our family went through this process almost three years ago and the Lord really blessed us through the entire thing. So, with that said, I would like to humbly share what we learned through the process.
1. Get a good Realtor. If you are serious about selling your home quickly, there is no substitute for a good Realtor. I know… I wanted to save the money too and sell the house myself. But the truth is, a Realtor has more connections and can post your home on dozens of websites, private Realtor sites, etc. They have the advantage of being in the industry and having more connections. Pick the Realtor with the most certifications. That proves that they are serious about what they do. We picked Ronnie Hooks. It was between her and another Realtor with a myriad of certs. We prayed about it and picked Ronnie.
2. Price your home to sell. In today's buyers market, pricing your home too high can mean the difference between selling your home in a short period of time and having in on the market for several years. A good rule of thumb is to price your home at or below the Zillow Zestimate.
3. Fix your home up. Especially for older homes, a little TLC can go a long way. We painted the entire inside of the house, got the hardwood floors professionally sanded and re-coated, painted the awnings, replaced the front porch rail, fixed the fireplace hearth, and many other things. Your Realtor can help you decide what is most important for you to tackle. Investing a few hundred dollars can get you a good return on investment.
4. Consider building a home. We first looked at buying an existing home and also at designing our own modular home. What we found was that it was about the same cost to build a home. The good thing about this is you get to pick everything out just the way that you want it! My wife got the kitchen just the way she wanted it! In fact, she handled pretty much the entire home buying process. I helped out some but she handled the lion's share of the work. We went with America's Home Place. They have an office in Greensboro, NC. We went with them because we have some relatives that used them to build their home in Georgia. We had a very positive experience with them. They certainly have done this a time or two and were very good.
And lastly and MOST importantly:
"Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed."
–Proverbs 16:3 AMP
His son,
Gary Lee Millner

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Daniel Descalso is in just his third full Major League Baseball season, but he's already preparing to play in his second World Series. The former Wisconsin Woodchuck helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the title back in 2011. By doing so, Descalso stamped his place in Woodchucks history. He is the only former Chuck to win a World Series ring.
Descalso played for the Chucks in 2006. That season he batted .277, with a .399 on-base percentage and 10 stolen bases.
Woodchucks General Manager Ryan Treu: "Daniel was sent to us from UC Davis. We were told he was going to be one of the best defensive 3rd basemen in the league and he was. He was one of the best players in the league."
He was drafted by the Cardinals in the 3rd round of the 2007 MLB Draft. When the Cardinals made him a late-season call up on September 18, 2010, Descalso became the 10th Woodchucks alumni to crack the big leagues. During the 2011 Cardinals title run he was a finalist for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award at third base. That season's World Series featured a matchup of former Woodchucks. The Cardinals defeated the Rangers, which had pitcher Mark Lowe (2002 and 2003 Woodchucks).
Descalso has shown his versatility with the Cardinals. And he's expected to be a key defensive contributor off the bench in the 2013 World Series against the Red Sox. This year he played 2nd base (.974 field percentage), shortstop (.964) and 3rd base (.921). He batted just .111 (1-9) in the National League Division Series but doubled those hits in the NLCS. He's a career .243 hitter.
Treu: "It's exciting to watch players advance after leaving Wausau and have so much success. For me, I can watch him on TV playing in the World Series and I can still picture Daniel playing third at Athletic Park."
Descalso was joined on this year's Cardinals team by another former Woodchuck, pitcher Sam Freeman. Freeman played outfield and pitched for the Woodchucks in 2007. This season, he came out of the bullpen to throw 12.1 innings in 13 appearances. He picked up one victory on the way to a 2.19 ERA. However, he was left off the World Series roster.
Descalso and the Cardinals start the 2013 World Series on the road tonight in Boston.
