WASHINGTON (BP) -- For one church, it might be homosexuality. For another, it might be adoption. For another, it might be abortion or race relations or pornography or human trafficking.
Whatever issue a Southern Baptist church needs to address, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission is seeking to tailor congregation-by-congregation methods of helping them by means of a new initiative called Church Equip.
The topics could be anything from the arena of ethics, social and family issues, and religious freedom. Regardless of the subject, the ERLC is trying to "develop customized solutions for church equipping," said Phillip Bethancourt, the commission's director of strategic initiatives. The question, he said, is: "What does that church need at any given time?"
The first two Church Equip events demonstrated that diversification. In mid-July, Russell D. Moore, the ERLC's president, taught leaders at Austin Stone Community Church in Austin, Texas, on a Monday morning regarding sexual ethics, particularly homosexuality. The following Sunday, he spoke at an adoption luncheon at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Ga., after preaching on the church's Orphan Sunday.
Assisting churches takes precedence, said Moore, whose administration at the ERLC began June 1.
"The focus of the Kingdom of God in this age isn't primarily Washington or Wall Street," he said. "King Jesus is ruling in local congregations, colonies of His reign. That's why equipping congregations to think through ethical questions is the number one priority of the ERLC.
"From sexuality to infertility to parenting to church discipline to racial unity and beyond, the questions facing our churches are about how we will follow Jesus through the confusing terrain of the 21st century," Moore said.
Austin Stone Community Church desired equipping regarding homosexuality in particular for two reasons, said pastor Todd Engstrom:
-- "To continue thinking through how we can lovingly and truthfully pastor individuals who are attracted to the same sex;
-- "To think through our individual, corporate and civic response as a church community in light of" the Supreme Court's June decision striking down the section of the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman for federal purposes.
Moore's training for a group of about 125 that consisted of elders and their wives, deacons and staff members from six campuses was "a game changer," said Kevin Peck, Austin Stone's lead pastor.
"With all of the noise in today's media-rich world, Dr. Moore spoke biblical truth and wisdom with a distinct level of competency and concern," Peck said. "He offered a level of clarity, thoughtfulness, compassion and biblical precision that will enable my team to minister more effectively. We truly appreciate his candid, Christ-centered and Gospel-saturated approach to issues such as homosexuality, transgender relationships and other challenging issues in today's society."
Engstrom, Austin Stone's executive pastor of campuses and communities, said Moore's teaching "equipped our leadership to speak intelligently and lead pastorally. He tackles difficult topics like homosexuality with candor from a variety of angles -- civically, pastorally and personally -- and provides a clear path forward for churches to contend for the Gospel in our generation."
For Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, Moore served as essentially a "cheerleader" in "kind of a pep rally" for adoptive and fostering families at the Sunday luncheon, said ministry associate Jim Watterson. Moore and his wife Maria have adopted, and he has written "Adopted for Life," a book about the importance of adoption to churches and Christian families.
The church invited to the luncheon people from inside and outside the congregation who had some connection to adoption or foster care. The invitees either had been adopted, had adopted children, were fostering children or were preparing to be foster parents.
Moore encouraged the roughly 175 people at the luncheon "to keep going in their care for the fatherless, that it was not always easy but necessary and close to the heart of God," Watterson said.
"He also addressed the children gathered for lunch, expressing his confirmation to them of what their parents had done and would continue to do, to love and care for them, that they were no longer considered a family with adopted children but children adopted into a safe and forever family," Watterson recalled.
Earlier, Moore had preached in the church's morning worship services from Romans 8 on the adoption by God Christians experience and the adoption of children Christians can participate in. He spoke in lieu of the church's pastor, former SBC President Bryant Wright.
The day's focus on orphan care resulted in 35 couples indicating they wanted to adopt and 30 to 35 committing to receive training to provide foster care, Watterson said.
It also marked another milestone in Johnson Ferry Baptist Church's focus on adoption and foster care. The church encourages members to adopt and provide foster care, hosts forums for couples considering adoption and foster care, and partners with Lifesong for Orphans in its matching grant program for adopting families. Watterson, an associate in the church's marriage and family ministry, gives much of his attention to orphan care.

Will Is Headed for the Land of the Lost
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 22 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Will Ferrell was rather sporty in his tracksuit as he headed out of LAX yesterday. Sports have been a running theme of Will's movies like Blades of Glory, but next year he'll start on a brand new project that will take him in a different direction. His new movie, Land of the Lost is about time travel and dinosaurs. The TV remake is set to start filming in March. Considering Will has fans of all ages he can bring a whole new audience to the popular 70's hit.
More of Will heading out of the airport so just read more

What's The Point Of RBS's Trendpilot ETNs Anyway? [View article]
To me, the two biggest downsides to these ETNS are:
(1) The exorbitant 1% fee, as you mentioned. If a complex-strategy ETF like PHDG can be run for less than .40%, this should be run for .25%.
(2) These are ETNs, which expose you to credit risk. And they're run by Royal Bank of Scotland, which would have died in 2008/2009 without massive government support (85 billion pounds, which hasn't been repaid--unlike in the US). And it isn't nationalized, which might mean it was impervious given the central bank's money-printing proclivities.Nov 19 01:30 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
The Role Of VQT And PHDG In Diversified Portfolios [View article]
One other note: a small difference in PHDG vs. VQT often shows up in some graphs because VQT doesn't throw off any dividends, where PHDG does. When you consider those, they are just about equal. In either case you need to use limit orders because there's too much bid/ask spread given the limited order volumes.

Demographics That Slammed Economy In 2008 Now Poised To Slam Stocks [View article]
Once people are in their 50s and/or their children are through college, they generally think more about saving than about spending, specifically saving for their retirement. This is the big factor since 2008 holding down the economy, not the Fed or government policy (though neither are exactly helping). And since it's a natural occurrence, I doubt it can be changed.
One factor helping the demographics in the US is the "Echo baby boom" that peaked in 1990. This isn't found in European demographics. These are in their "family formation" phase, which also requires a lot of spending--albeit from a generation less than half the size of the Boom generation. This will start to "trail off" around 2017, and things will get worse for GDP and the economy. This may not let up until after 2020. Again, these are natural occurrences, mostly unchangeable.
So between our own demographic problems, along with the worse ones in Europe and even worse in Japan (long term), I expect intermittent crises along with continual "kicking the can down the road" policies from our "leaders". Will there be enough "road" to last through 2020? Who knows. It's best to have some hedge against that, if you're invested in almost anything. Right now the VIX may be the only thing that works (VXX etc.), of course with the usual contango drag. Personally I prefer the PHDG ETF.Sep 26 12:13 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Jonjo Shelvey is an average Premier League player. On Monday, he decided he was more than that, went crazy and attempted to take over a game by himself. The results were awesome: He was the key component in four goals. Two for each team.
He wasn't always average.
When Shelvey made his debut for Charlton Athletic at 16 years old, plenty of people guessed that he would completely take over a Premier League game by the time he was 21. He's been a key player for England youth teams since 2007 and looked like an absolute coup for Liverpool when he arrived there for just £1.7 million up front, thanks to Charlton's crippling financial problems and their need to take just about any significant offers for players.
He slowly progressed at Liverpool, was impressive in a loan spell at Blackpool in the 2011-12 season and was expected to make a big step up last season under Brendan Rodgers. That step up that never came and Shelvey was sold to Swansea City for £5 million. If Liverpool were told back in 2010 that they would eventually sell Shelvey for £5 million, they would have been bitterly disappointed. In 2013, most of their supporters were happy that any team wanted to pay that much.
Players like Jonjo Shelvey -- decent, marginal players who are obviously good enough to play in the top flight but clearly not good enough for a team competing for a Champions League place -- usually aren't the big story for more than a few minutes when they come up against their former clubs. But on Monday, Shelvey did something remarkable. He tried to play outside his limits and the world got to see what happens when an unspectacular player attempts to do something spectacular virtually every time he touches the ball.
Even if a player like Shelvey scores a game-winning goal, it hardly stands out beyond anyone thinking "that was cool". This is mostly because fans care about the clubs they support and the game's biggest stars. No one besides Liverpool fans, Swansea fans, the player's family and perhaps a smattering of Charlton fans really care about the trials and tribulations of Jonjo Shelvey, and the same can be said about hundreds of players in his situation.
Last season, when Robin van Persie suited up for Manchester United against Arsenal, he was the entire story of the match because he's Robin van Persie. He saved Arsenal from descent into the Europa League seemingly singlehandedly, then demanded a transfer because he felt the club lacked ambition. He got that transfer, then continued playing like one of the best players on earth for one of the biggest clubs on earth. His games against Arsenal felt like a big deal because they were a big deal.
It's not insulting to Shelvey to say that he is much less of a big deal, but he was the heavy focus of the pre-game buildup television coverage. No one hinted that Shelvey held any animosity towards Liverpool, but there was still an odd implication from everyone that this game was a really, really big deal to him.
Then he scored. A mere 87 seconds into the match, Shelvey put Swansea ahead with a one-of-a-kind individual goal that featured a comical whiff, then an amazing dribbling move, then a blocked shot, and then finally a finish. NBC Sports Network commentator Arlo White, who was doing play-by-play on the American feed of the match, absolutely lost his mind.
White is about as professional as they come (and an admitted Leicester City supporter), so his excitement probably didn't have anything to do with any sort of bias. He was genuinely surprised and excited in a way that people generally don't get surprised or excited by much that Shelvey does. He's a decent, but thoroughly average player. That's why he got sold to Swansea for £5 million.
That's also why everyone just sort of chuckled when, two minutes later, he handed Liverpool a free equalizer. With seemingly no good forward passing options, he turned to pass back to his goalkeeper without looking and inadvertently played a flawless through ball to Daniel Sturridge, who made it 1-1.
But the Shelvey show was just starting. Before the end of the first half, he directly set up another goal for Liverpool, finding Victor Moses with a pass so bad that it looked like he picked out Moses intentionally. He made up for it in the second half with an impressive assist, winning a header and flicking the ball backwards to Michu, who leveled the match at 2-2, where it would finish.
Shelvey's post-match interview was an odd one. If you were expecting him to laugh off his errors after picking up the game-tying assist or act like he felt redeemed in any way, you'll be disappointed. Hat tip to Reddit for the link, and apologies if you have to listen to everything Shelvey says five times to understand him. I did a double-take when he said "I showed a bit of character". Is that a thing that a 21-year-old actually said about himself?
The most interesting part of this -- besides his really depressing body language -- is what he had to say about Liverpool and his celebration after he scored.
"I didn't really want to celebrate because obviously because I was at Liverpool, I've got respect for the fans and I loved every minute being there, but it's hard not to show your emotions."
No player is going to trash a former club and that club's fans unless he was treated extremely unfairly, so this is more or less a stock quote that every professional footballer has in their arsenal. It's not fair to call Shelvey a liar, but he did celebrate when most players show restraint
Then there's an incident with Lucas about 15 minutes before he set up the equalizer, in which the two got in a bit of a shoving match over a late challenge and both picked up yellow cards. The referee took his time talking to his assistant, lecturing both players and making them know they were lucky to not get sent off.
The way he played the entire game also suggested that he had a bit of an ax to grind. Images below via Squawka.
That's a heck of a lot of ambitious long passes that went absolutely nowhere. Watching the game live, it looked like he was hitting them with a lot of purpose, even if they didn't have much direction and weren't based on good decisions. He looked like he wanted to play the ball of his life with almost every touch, and that shot chart doesn't even show a pair of whiffs on overly ambitious volley attempts.
His attitude -- whether it had to do with pure ambition, spite for Liverpool or both -- led directly to Moses' goal. The Sturridge goal came on a mental error that could have happened to anyone, but the Moses goal, which is the pass from the second-deepest position in his own half on his passing chart, is directly attributable to Shelvey trying too hard to do something great.
If you've ever wondered what would happen if a solid but unspectacular, middle-of-the-road player was hyper-motivated beyond his normal capabilities and attempted to take over a game by himself, you now have your answer. Games can be taken over by individuals who are not the most technically or physically gifted, but at the highest level of football, teams are severely punished when there is a massive gap between their players' ambition and ability level.
All of the on-pitch evidence suggests that Shelvey cared about showing up Liverpool more than most players care about showing up their former clubs. The reason why is anyone's guess, but it's obvious that it wasn't just another game for him.
Shelvey tried to do everything, and his ambition turned what might have been a 0-0 game otherwise into a highly entertaining and memorable match with four goals. In 20 years, we'll get to hear Issy Clarke narrating over a "Where are they now?" package during halftime of a game. They'll show the highlights and we'll laugh about the one time that Jonjo Shelvey was the sole creator of every goal in a 2-2 draw.

The guy at my local beer store recommonded this one,why?Pours a light amber with almost no head to speak of,very thin body.The aroma was a little nicer a little sweetish and malty,the taste was a little watery with a malt smack in the finish that leaves a decent aftertaste.Not as good "Y" for sure.No more recommendations from the beer store guy for sure.

2.6/5 rDev -8.8%
Contract brewed for the Bucks County Brewing Company; the label reads "Pennbrook Traditional Amber Lager" - an obvious attempt to cash in on the immense popularity of Yuengling's Traditional Lager.
A rough pour will bring up a two-fingered head of off-white foam over a clear amber body. The head drops shortly to a creamy collar. The aroma is mildly malty and slightly earthy. The body is thin with a fine and moderate carbonation that leaves it lightly crisp on the tongue. The flavor, like the aroma, is limited with just a mildly sweet maltiness. It appears to be fairly well-attenuated, but finishes with a dull and sticky maltiness in the mouth. It seems that the bitterness has been heavily restrained to allow what sweetness the thin malt does have to come through. Some dextrine malt may be in use as well. As you progress through the glass the alcohol starts to develop on the palate. It's not that its level is high, it's just that there's very little malt (and even less hops) to mask it. It's quite boring, not well-balanced, and lacks drinkability due to the sticky finish - not recommended.

Ring My Bell Lyrics - Will Smith
Intro Yo yo yo yo Yo yo yo yo (Ring my bell, ring my bell) Yo yo yo yo Yo yo yo yo (Ring my bell, ring my bell)
Verse 1:
I'm just a telephone call away
You can pick it up and call me any day
And Ima listen to all you got to say
Cause I'm the type of man that never turn a woman away
Think of this as an invitation
Your heart to mine in a conversation
So when things get to much to bare like The Jackson 5 "I'll be there"
Just call me up on the telephone
Call me up when you're all alone
And I'll give you a verbal massage
Until your man gets home
Or if you want to you know what you could do, well
You could always hop in your car and you could come and ring my bell
sponsored linksRing my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ring my bell) Ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell) RI-I-ING!!!
Verse 2:
I hate to see you cry, tear after tear while this guy
Plays you like your life is a game
I've seen his type and there all the same
Breaking your heart without a care
Girl if I was in you shoes he'd be outta there
Your man is wak good for nothin' but flack
I'd tell him to pack and hit the road Jack
Who loves ya baby I do you know he doesn't care about you let him go
Where he at now? You don't know Layin' up under some
hold up wait just let me chill
no need for me to get ill
Cause yo I'm the best but yo time will tell
But I'll be here so ring my bell
Verse 3:
Now I know this sounds like a fairy tale
But this ain't no children's book
I'm here, for you to take me dear
Just open your eyes and look at
What the future holds for you and if you lunch then you might ruin
Something great don't make a big mistake pay attention to what you're doing
Life is full of pitfalls, ups and downs
It's sort of a mission now you're on a rocky road
But you could get up just make that decision
That you want someone to love you adore you and hold you and treat you well
So when you're ready to be treated that way baby you can ring my bell
(Repeat till fade)

The Governor of Texas has a new plan to link up employers with employees. It's an online job resource tool called, "Work in Texas.Com."
Governor Rick Perry unveiled the new program Tuesday in Austin, while touring the headquarters for the website. "In Texas we have two great competitive advantages. A strong skilled workforce and job climate that is second to none in this nation." said Governor Perry.
The new website is a joint effort between the Texas Workforce Commission, more than two dozen local workforce boards, and 270 workforce centers.

negetic Laura Scott spends her days surrounded by companies in a beautiful high-tech computer lab at Sandersville Regional Technical Institute. She heads up computer programming classes at Georgia's newest technical institute -- classes which have already prepared more than 300 students to play key roles in a technological revolution well underway in this east central Georgia area.
Many of these students have taken well-paying jobs in the kaolin clay mining and processing industry, which is the economic salvation of this "hard-times" portion of the state.
"It's fun to help people and fun to see that 'light bulb' go on when they understand," Scott said.
And Sandersville is positive proof that rural and small-town Georgians are well equipped to master high-tech courses and high-tech jobs.
At ultra-modern processing plants, a mixture of water and white clay dug out of the ground in Washington and nearby counties is turned into hundreds of products essential to modern life, such as rubber goods, plastics, medicine, toothpaste, insulation, porcelain and paints. But about 70 percent of Georgia's kaolin goes to finish paper. Kaolin, which is about one-third of the total weight of the paper on which this story is printed, makes the sheet white and smooth and enhances the color of the inks.
A tour of the region's open-pit clay mines and kaolin processing plants reveals that a complex, highly sophisticated process is used to turn the white clay into a useable product.
"Some assume that since we are a mining operation, we are 'low-tech,"' said Ken Jackman, executive vice president of the China Clay Producers Association. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
To meet the demand for highly skilled employees, much of Sandersville Tech's efforts are directed toward the kaolin industry.
"Educational facilities such as the [Sandersville Regional] technical institute in Washington County, are critically important to our industry," Jackman said.
About 2.5 million tons of the stuff is shipped annually from Georgia's "white gold" belt in 13 counties along the fall line that girdles the mid-portion of the state. Mineralogists say that about 50 to 100 million years ago, particles of kaolin or aluminum silicate were washed down from the rocky piedmont hills, coming to rest at the edge of a shallow sea, marked today by the fall line. Fragments of fossilized shark's teeth and shells hint at the clay's origin near the shore of the prehistoric sea.
The clay awaits mining in pits where it shows whitely as the red soil is removed from above it. After the clay is dug out of the earth, it is sent up to 16 miles through a pipeline as a slurry, and then pummeled, mixed and purified. The finished product is shipped dry or as a slurry in Sandersville Railroad tank cars that are immaculately clean to prevent bacterial contamination. The whole process is infinitely precise, as skilled workers, technicians and scientists produce kaolin in particles smaller than the size of particles of matter in fog.
The machines that coat paper move at such high speeds that the tiniest impurity, like, a grain of sand, can cause a five-mile streak before the equipment can be stopped. Employees ride herd on this production with computerized and automated rigor to meet the stringent needs of their customers in the paper and other industries. Every day they use computer skills-skills imparted to many of them through partnership programs between the kaolin industry and Sandersville Tech.
"In the next five years, every operator will sit at a computer and enter all the data. It will be all electronic," said Daryl Hutchings, process supervisor for Thiele Corporation.
African-American and white farmers alike abandoned farms and took whatever jobs they could find. This was true to an even greater extent in the nearby counties of Glascock, Hancock, Jefferson and Warren. Today, with Washington, these counties make up the five-county service area for Sandersville Tech. They share many of the same economic, educational and cultural problems.
Grim statistics are the epitaphs of a dying form of agriculture in the region. Shortly after World War 11 there were still 1,776 farms in Washington County and on these farms were 2,464 mules.
"One man claimed he traded two game roosters [for cock-fights] for two mules and got $1.50 to boot, quite a drop in price, considering that before the war, a mule sold for $100," an account in the local Washington County history indicates. But nobody needed mules anymore in a day of tractors. In the next few years, even the need for tractors would decline severely. Many fields remained unplowed and farms disappeared. In 1964, Washington County had 731 farms. In 1992's agricultural census only 299 were recorded. Warren County lost nearly three-quarters of its farms in the same period.
The discovery of the "white gold" of kaolin in the area in the 1920s and its subsequent development as an industry offered hope, however. Ben Tarbutton Sr. persuaded major corporations to come to Sandersville to mine the clay, and he extended his Sandersville Railroad, a vital short-line linking Sandersville to the main line at Tennille, to service the clay industry's needs. Many farmers got good money for leasing or selling lands to the kaolin companies. Under state law, the pits dug to get the clay must be reclaimed, and the companies spend about $1,900 per acre returning mined land back to agricultural, forestry or recreational uses.
BEFORE AND AFTER: Under state law, the pits dug
Low crop prices and a poor economy; however, bewildered many hard-pressed farmers. In 1976, 209 farm tractors rumbled into Sandersville as a part of a tractorcade protesting poor farm conditions. Many farms were sold on the courthouse steps for back taxes.
But probably as serious as the poor economy was the hit education resources took in the five-county area. Both still have not recovered to state averages. All five counties are poverty-ridden. Approximately one of every four residents lives below the poverty income line.
About half of all the students in the five-county area never finish high school, compared with a statewide average of 29.1 percent not graduating. College education is not even an option for most students. In 1996-97, 57.9 percent of Georgia's high school graduates were eligible for HOPE scholarships, which pay their college tuition if they maintain a "B" average.
But in the five-county service area percentages of students eligible ranged from 22.9 percent in Warren County to 55.2 percent in Glascock County. And in 1996-97, nearly one of every 10 Georgians received food stamps, but about one of every five residents of the five-county area was on food stamps. Unemployment in the region was double or triple the state average of 4.5 percent in 1997.
Residents also brought home thin pay envelopes. The average weekly wage in Georgia in 1996 was $529, but weekly wages ranged from $357 to $496 in the Sandersville Tech service area. It was highest in Washington County, which had a resource being unlocked by a high-tech industry-the kaolin industry.
"Gov. Ernest Vandiver proposed to put a vocational-technical school in Washington County, but for various reasons the local civic and county leaders decided against it, so it went to Swainsboro," the soft-spoken Tarbutton Jr. said. "Subsequently, I saw it was a great loss to our community, and we have been trying ever since to get one."
In the 1980s, local citizens pushed hard and gubernatorial candidate Zell Miller in 1988 promised to put a technical school in Washington County, Tarbutton explained.
"He stuck by his promise," the civic and business leader said. First classes were held in the attractive brick and green buildings of Sandersville Tech in October 1996. Some courses were even offered before construction was finished, the need was so great. Today, about 400-450 students are enrolled in a variety of credit and certificate courses, as well as custom-made courses tailored precisely to industry needs, according to Sandersville Tech President Jack Sterrett.
Especially successful have been computer courses tailored to the needs of the kaolin industry-everything from basic computer skills on up to advanced work with a variety of software packages. The certificated truck-driving courses also have been very successful, since Sandersville is the home of a number of large trucking firms.
"One-hundred percent of the 150 persons taking truck-driving have been placed at jobs paying $25,000 to $35,000 annually," Sterrett said.
After she went to individual industries and asked them what Sandersville Tech could do for them, together they discussed how production and skills could be increased by better-trained employees.
"The companies will invest in their employees' training," Evans said. "It shows how important these employees are. It is amazing to me to see how they are spending money on their employees' future."
Area companies, especially kaolin companies such as Thiele and English China Clay International, are actively engaged in joint projects with Sandersville Tech. These range from computing programs to truck-driving training and safety instruction. Sterrett also expects to offer "Kaolin 101," a course to familiarize employees entering the industry.
Much of Sandersville Tech's efforts are directed toward the kaolin industry, since it is the brightest spot in the area's economic picture. Its employees receive $56 million annually in Washington County alone, and contractors working for the clay industry receive another $25 million annually, Ken Jackman, executive vice president of the China Clay Producers Association, said. The kaolin industry also pays more than 50 percent of Washington County's ad valorem taxes, he added. Statewide, the kaolin industry brings in more than $800 million annually and spends more than $20 million annually on research and development.
Shonna London, a 20-year-old accounting student at Sandersville Tech, values the down-to-earth and practical instruction she receives.
"Tech has made a big change in my life," London said. "With this education, it has allowed me to do more than just come to school and major in accounting. I have gained more accounting experience in my internship at the Davisboro State Prison and I'm president of Phi Beta Lambda, a nationwide business education organization. My parents love Sandersville Tech for its training and for teaching me how to deal with people in a businesslike manner."
London will graduate in June and already has a job offer, but she wants to go after an associate degree first.
Tarbutton gives Sandersville Tech a high grade for its work so far.
"One of the outstanding features of this whole program is that it is in tune with the needs of the community." He says that bright, local persons working with industry can get more training so there is less need to recruit people from outside the community. "That's already proven to be true," he said. "One of the important things is trying to get people off welfare and to provide them incentives to come to this school and learn skills so they can earn a meaningful wage and support themselves," he said.
As the new century begins, the newest technical institute has already accomplished much and changed the lives of those it serves. When the year 2000 arrives, it appears Sandersville Tech will certainly "keep up the good works."
When London Came Calling
Founded in 1784, Washington County is one of the oldest Georgia counties. It was the first U.S. city named for General George Washington, victorious over the 'British the year before and five years before he became the nation's first president. Two hundred years later, Princess Anne, representing the Queen of England, visited Sandersville as a guest of Anglo-American Clays Corporation, a subsidiary of English China Clays, Ltd., a major kaolin mining and processing company in Sandersville. She received a much friendlier reception than the British troops fighting American rebels 200 years earlier.
Even before our Revolution, Georgia clay was being shipped to England. Some of it was carried, probably from near Augusta, down the Savannah River in canoes and shipped from Savannah.
Josiah Wedgwood, famous founder of the Wedgwood Potteries in England, used Georgia white clay in the 18th century, before clay deposits were discovered in Cornwall, England. Georgia's deposits are among the purest and whitest in the world. At first, only small amounts of its kaolin were used, however, and mining it was a small-time activity in a few places. It wasn't until the 20th century that farmers in the kaolin-rich counties began to see the white outcroppings of kaolin as anything but nuisances to tillable farmlands.

does it matter who we play....optimism has left my brain!!!!!
Emotionally, I was just numb the whole day yesterday. After the opening kickoff return and TD that was soon to follow, I just knew it wasn't going to be a day to get wound up emotionally. I did a couple of times, but most of the time, I felt very subdued. When the loss eventually came, I felt nothing. At the time, both the Rams and Panthers were losing, but it wasn't as if I felt either game's outcome were settled. That was prophetic enough, as the Saints almost blew it when Conwell rolled out of bounds to stop the clock and give the Panthers 35 more seconds on the clock.
At any rate, the O-line stunk yesterday and the defense once again allowed a third-world offense enough first downs and big plays to beat the Vikings. Of course, deep in my heart somewhere, I know the Vikings can offensively compete with any team in the NFL. I know it's tough to beat a team three times in one year, as the Packers will be faced with doing. But yesterday's lackluster loss just took all wind out of my sails. I am probably going to have very little expectation out of the Vikings for this next game (especially with Offord in and Chavous out). I just feel emotionally all used up. I can only hope that the offseason sees more changes on defense to at least give meaning to that old cry..."Wait til next year!"
At any rate, good luck Vikes, but I'm not expecting much except more disappointment.SKOL VIKINGS!

If you work away from home, odds are good that commuting back is a rushed frenzied time. If that's true, you're ruining it! This is prime-mama-alone time.
Take our advice and savor these tiny moments:
- If you're driving a short distance: sing a song that takes you back in time. Really belt it out.
- If you're driving a long distance: catch up on an audio book.
- If you're biking: chill out and breathe.
- If you're riding public transit (like me now!): zone out with a non-parenting book or music on your iPod.
Relish this gift of alone time and you'll be a happier mama when you get home. For real. Or you could keep hurrying and cursing and feel totally frazzled again.

Robeson County authorities say a man who worked at a church with children became sexually involved with a 12-year-old at the church.
And, deputies are saying there could be more victims.
Rodriguez Vazquez, Jahaziel Levi (alias – Armando Pacheco) age 28, was arrested Thursday by the Robeson County Sheriff's Juvenile Division for Statutory Rape, deputies said.
"At the time of the rape, he was 27 years old and the victim was 12 years old. He worked as a youth worker at his local church and this is how he got to know the victim," deputies said in a press release. "There is a possibility that there are other victims."
Bond was set at $50,000 secured.

White Girl Brown World: Call Me Bhougie
This weekend wrapped up the second of two huge family weddings. This time, it was my husband's cousin Ananta getting married. He now lives in Florida, as does his now-wife Diana. So to accommodate both sides of the family, the maticore, wedding ceremony and kangan were held in Orlando. Fast forward a weekend later, and the wedding reception was held here in New York City. So yes, not only was this wedding four days long (five, if you count the second kangan, basically a big curried meat fest, scheduled for today) but spanned two weekends. When it comes to weddings, Guyanese people can never be accused of "keeping it small."
Last night was Ananta and Diana's reception, and it had all the trappings of a traditional American wedding reception. Bride in a white dress, bridal party including two flower girls, first dance, speeches, multi-tiered wedding cake.
I was one of the few white girls in the room but after so very many years, I think we've gotten to the point where no one — especially me — notices. As my husband's cousin Vick told me while sharing a drink at the bar, "You know what I like about you? What you see is what you get. You're a very honest person. You're not just married into the family; you're one of us."
Awww Vick. That choked me up. Then, later on in the evening, one of my husband's many cousins referred to me as "Bhougie." (Say it with me. BOW-gee.) I looked at Sid and laughed. What?! Bhougie is a nickname for "sister-in-law." The only Bhougies I know of in Sid's family are — sorry — old ladies. What was he saying? I'm now past my prime? We all laughed. But as Sid told me later, "Bhougie is a term of respect. You should be very honored."
Well then. Bhougie it is. Only I'm the younger, paler, hotter version.
But before the reception even happened, Ananta and Diana had a beautiful, fun-fulled, Florida-in-August-hot wedding. Let me share with you their wedding journey. (Click on the photos to enlarge and view the slideshow.)

A Chance Encounter Explained
About a year or so ago, I was at the local hair salon, Strands, with my daughter. As she sat down to get her hair washed, I heard a familiar voice coming from the chair next to her. It was deep and friendly, booming yet not loud. When this fellow customer sat up in his seat, I made the connection — it had to be my high school chorus teacher Jim DiBenedetto.
How you can hold the memory of a voice you haven't heard in more than 20 years is beyond me. But once I heard it my mind was sent back to those days in the second-floor Brooklyn Tech chorus room, the chorus teacher/football coach booming at us "What kind of shells?… read more
Back to the Blog
A couple of weeks ago, I finished up a year-long blog project called 365to40. I documented my march (slow slog?) to 40, which included an unexpected detour through Superstorm Sandy.
Two weeks later, blog-less, I realized two things. One, I missed the creative outlet that blogging afforded me. No editors, no assignments, just me writing about whatever the heck was knocking around in my mind at the moment. It was a free therapy session, and the feedback and support I received helped me through some tough patches.
Second, I realized that I am incredibly goal-oriented. Part of the success of 365to40 (an attempt, in the end successful, to navigate my midlife crisis) was that I was candid about what I hoped to achieve.… read more
Post-Sandy, Finding Joy in Christmas
I have very spotty memories of last Christmas: The 2-foot tall "Charlie Brown" Christmas trees in each of the kids' rooms; crowding into my son's room to open gifts Christmas morning; my husband's cousin, knowing that stress had eroded my short-term memory, blessedly texting me every night to remind me to move the Elf on the Shelf.
It was far from my ideal Christmas. We were thankful, yes, for all the things we'd spent the previous two months repeating like a mantra: No one was hurt. Nothing burned. We have insurance. But I felt hogtied by reality: Our house was far from being fixed.… read more

He finished the season with four interceptions in 294 attempts. That was the fewest interceptions among QBs who had more than 224 attempts in the NFL this season. His interception percentage was also the lowest in team history.
Johnson also disclosed that he has been playing with cracked ribs. "You kind of get over that," he said.
Not too suprising since he does have one of the top 20 career passer ratings in NFL history and is the only NFL quuarterback to have had over 60% completion rate for 10 straight years.

The community vision itself is not something I have a beef with, indeed I like to belong, I like to contribute, and importantly I can afford to - so I do. The community raised me, so to speak, nurturing me through technology transitions, and delivering timely advice through the "Village Voice" of the search engines and forums. I feel obliged and happy to give a little back. But something is rotten in the state of Denmark. We are gnawed by the cancer of bigotry and opinion - by a simple lack of respect.
Don't get me wrong, discussion, debate, opinion are all essential to a society. Likewise we must preserve the personal freedom to express a viewpoint, but it comes down to the old adage that with rights come responsibility. Is it reasonable to insult and mock those with differing viewpoints? To publicly denigrate a fellow community member or group because they use the wrong IDE, Framework or design pattern (in your opinion) shows ignorance and lack of respect.
If you think I'm doing something wrong then explain why, provide proof that an alternate way is better. For instance, I've been seeing blog postings recently saying how evil and retarded certain frameworks are, with absolutely no proof, metrics or reasoned arguments to back up the position. The authors having exercised the right to express an opinion but have not accepted responsibility for what they are pontificating on. To those that say I don't have to justify my opinion - wrong, you absolutely do have to justify it, that is the responsible and respectful thing to do. I might feel that an author may have a point, but how can I judge? Yes I can come to an informed decision by look at source or by running metrics, but why should I? If a flamer has not done that and has not provided reasoned proof then any opinion they express is essentially worthless.
We also need to work on language and attitude. Take for example that most impassioned of debates My IDE vs Your IDE. I for instance don't particularly like to use Ecipse, but please note that I don't hate it, I don't think its rubbish (or worse). It just so happens that I'm just not comfortable with it. JDeveloper suits the way I work so I use that. I still respect Eclipse as a tool; I'm in awe of the community effort that nurtures it and the ecosystem that surrounds it. I respect your preference for Ecipse, so just return the favor right?
What can the community do with those that do not offer respect and considered opinion? There has been a case of this recently on one of the open source frameworks user lists the proposal was made to ban an individual who was rude, insulting and generally spamming the list with nonsense. I found many of the reactions to this disappointing, - Just ignore it or set up a mail filter was a common solution. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Individuals have responsibility but so does society. To ignore this behavior shirks the responsibility we all have to develop and nurture the community as a whole lest it simply dissolve into anarchy. Any parent will tell you that a naughty child must be confronted and have the consequences of their actions made plain. This is no different and we have to consider, as Java passes its tenth birthday, that our community's difficult teenage years are looming. We're storing up a whole heap of trouble if this issue is not confronted and addressed by every one of us.
Author´s Note: I wrote this piece on the plane a few days back, before the tragic events of the 7th July here in the UK. Perhaps now it seems petty to be griping about this issue, but at the same time, the importance of the basic message is reinforced. Tolerance and respect are the highest of virtues and should extend to all aspects of our existence. Im deeply saddened by anyone whose adherence to dogma is more important than his or her respect for humanity.
|.NET From India 07/22/05 10:53:47 PM EDT
Trackback Added: Every Community needs it rules; A recent JDJ article highlights the need of rules and some kind of regulation mechanism to be sucessful. Though the article talks about the Java community, I am sure that this is true for all communities. If you disagree with

I think the respect thing has nothing to do with java or programming or IDEs its a human thing.
I would love to see a comparison of 20 developers with eclipse coding the same project against 3 developers with a typewriter + an assistant to type it in and compile it.
That would be something to see and talk about!
