Interview with Kristin KreukHow did you relate to the story?
Kristin Kreuk: "Just the human experience. I think the Chun-Li story is very human, and then with all the superhuman stuff or the fighting stuff is similar to my experience with Smallville. Just it's a part of their world so it's a little different than our world because we don't have…well, we have people that go around fighting people a lot, but generally it's not for good and then if it is for good, that doesn't quite make sense to me. But in this world, this is the way things are and that's easy for me to understand."
Are you a gamer at all?
Kristin Kreuk: "I've never been a gamer, but I've seen a lot of 'Street Fighter'. It was really popular when I was in late elementary school into high school, so I'm very familiar with it. I've seen a lot of people play it."
Your character is a bit more pear-shaped in the game, don't you think?
Kristin Kreuk: "You'd say she's pear-shaped? I'd say she's hour-glass shaped. She has ginormo thighs. I don't have ginormo thighs."
How seriously do you take a film like this, so that you can still be earnest with your character?
Kristin Kreuk: "I think it's really important, at least in this story, to be earnest with the characters because you want people to relate to them while they go through the movie. I think it's really important that the fighting is really good, but you want to be able to root for the individual, and that means that the character has got to be relatable, in some way. And, if they're really over-the-top, it's harder to relate to them in this style of a movie. If it was something else, I think it would be different."
Can you talk about the emotional journey your character goes through?
Kristin Kreuk: "She starts off, in the movie, very young and she loses both of her parents. She loses her mom around 20 years old, and becomes very angry and wants to go and get revenge on the guy who took her father when she was just a young girl. And then, she ends up on this spiritual path where she seeks out a master and she learns to let go of her attachments so that she can see a greater good because her attachments are blinding her sight. That way, she can go out and actually fight for something and understand what it is she's fighting for."
Were there any injuries during training or filming?
Kristin Kreuk: "Nothing serious, I don't think. I got punched and thrown into a couple of things, and I had a sore jaw, but it was nothing that was lasting and permanent - that I know of."
Was Bangkok what you thought it would be?
Kristin Kreuk: "I knew Bangkok would be busy. That's all I knew going into the city. What was a surprise for me was the size of the malls. Bangkok's malls are so big and elaborate. And there were movie theaters I went to where I was like, 'Whoa! This place is crazy!' The malls there are insane. The food there is amazing. I expected the food to be amazing, and I thought it was really good."
What's happening with Smallville?
Kristin Kreuk: "I just finished. My last episode aired a couple Thursdays ago."
Did you want to go out for good?
Kristin Kreuk: "Yeah, I really did. I've been there since I was 18 years old and I was ready to go and leave that behind and move onto other things in my life. It takes nine months out of the year to shoot a TV show and it became a question of do I want more money and do I want to do this character again, or do I want to take a risk essentially and move on and spend those nine months doing other things? I remember sitting on set going, 'God, I wish I had the time.' And now I do."
That's an eight year journey.
Kristin Kreuk: "I grew up on that show. Some of my dearest friends are on that show."
Was it harder than you expected to say goodbye?
Kristin Kreuk: "No. I mean, it's hard to say goodbye to people but to Smallville it wasn't hard to say goodbye. Because I adore a lot of the people that I work with. Some of them I'll see almost every day for the rest of my life I think, but some of them I probably won't see again unless I run into them randomly. I spent so much time with them and shared a lot of, especially the actors, a lot of intimacy with. So it's weird. It's really a weird feeling where you're really close with people and then you never see them."
Are there more action roles in your future?
Kristin Kreuk: "I realize that I'm actually pretty decent at it, which is good to know. It depends. I think that it depends on the story, it depends on who's doing it, depends on the team, but I wouldn't say yes for sure all the time or no, never again. I think that I like it but it's not where I want to move into completely."
What are you looking at doing next?
Kristin Kreuk: "I'm looking for a project, been reading a lot of scripts. I would love to do something that is more in the real world as opposed to the fantastical realm, even if it's like five lines. I just want to build myself as an actor and start to participate in movies that really help people shift their worldview, even if it's a little bit. That's really where I want to move into is helping people broaden their perspective."
Would you do TV again?
Kristin Kreuk: "Yes. Some of my favorite things are TV shows like Six Feet Under. Even Sopranos, they're really well made, well thought out, intelligent shows with very deep characters that are consistent from beginning to end. There seems to be a very well planned out arc. I like that about TV, but I'd want to talk to the producers and have them go, 'This is our plan. These are our characters. We want to go five, six years at the most. That won't change because this is our arc.' Instead of just going forever, like 10 years, just because they can. I like that."

"Me and the coaching staff went into one of the offices. They showed me a few things about the University and E'twaun Moore and the different ways he scored. Then Coach Painter came in and talked to me about a few things. He then went on to tell me they would offer me a scholarship."
He was very excited about receiving the offer.
"I felt honored to even be considered by Purdue. I'm obviously happy, but for me its motivation to keep working and continue to progress. It's a blessing to be able to do what I do. I wouldn't be in the position I am without my family, coaches, and teammates."

To recap: Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa both took steroids the year they both smashed the previous home run record to pieces in 1998. Barry Bonds then, in a fit of rage and jealousy at Sosa and McGwire, then proceeded to take steroids to give him the best shot of taking the record from McGwire and Sosa. Mission accomplished: Bonds would hit 73 home runs in the 2001 season.
We all however would be losers in this one as Bonds, Sosa, McGwire and a slew of others would be directly found to, or very strongly alleged to have taken steroids.
Even worse, Jose Canseco has been made into a reality star, thanks to his notoriety in using.

When most mainstream media outlets discuss conspiracy theories, it is usually to debunk the views of dissenting and critical thinkers who are routinely denounced as simplistic, paranoid or worse.
You have frequently seen the mantra questioning their motives and conclusions as if the idea of people or officials acting together covertly to advance their interests in illegal ways is something new in history.
Until recently, US press outlets characterized conspiracy arguments as rants that lacked any factual basis, engaged in guilt by association and stretched the facts.
The only conspiracy charges they tended to look at uncritically were criminal complaints against the Mafia under anti-racketeering statutes like the RICO statutes. Prosecutors loved these cases because normal concerns with protecting the rights of defendants didn't apply when hearsay evidence was permitted.
But now, four years after the financial crisis, prosecutors have finally discovered what critics have been alleging repeatedly: that big banks were crooks, engaging, engaging among other illicit practices, in secretive, illegal and conspiratorial schemes to rig baseline interest rates and manipulate credit markets,
It has now been admitted that traders at two major financial institutions were fixing LIBOR—the London Interbank Offered Rate, used to set the interest rates of $800 trillion worth of financial products, including credit cards and mortgages.… Read the rest

Mayor backs London as Doho offer prize funds- 11 Nov 2011 00:00:00
On the day that the hosts of the 2017 World Athletics Championships will
be decided, the Mayor of London Boris Johnson has revealed his backing
for the London 2017 campaign, while sole competition Doha have offered
to pay the entire £5m bill for prize money – if they are awarded the
The International Association of Athletics Federations will announce the winner on Friday afternoon.
'The idea is that the prize money could be used for the future development of athletes,' Sheikh Saoud said.
Meanwhile, Boris Johnson is set to join a top delegation in Monaco to lend his support to London's bid to host the Championships.
The Mayor will be part of the team - including Sports Minister Hugh Robertson MP, IAAF Vice-President and LOCOG chair Sebastian Coe and UK Athletics chair Ed Warner - presenting to IAAF members before they cast their votes this afternoon.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: 'London is the perfect place to welcome the global athletics family in 2017 and has put together a great bid that will deliver a memorable world championships. Both competitors and spectators will be spoilt for choice in a capital with so much to see and do during their stay.'
'The world's finest sports men and women will be able to compete in one of the finest athletics venues on the planet, packed with passionate fans cheering them on to break new records. And in a city where more than 300 languages are spoken, they will be able to count on strong support from their respective expatriate communities.'
The World Championships were first staged in 1983 and were originally designed to be every four years, but in 1993 became a biennial event.

I REALLY need a distraction today. The news out of Arizona is tragic, heartbreaking and beyond disturbing.
While looking for something to take my mind off it, I came across this article by Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesman. Link after the jump.
Here is the interesting part:
If Les Miles takes the Michigan job, as I feel he will, I hear Nebraska's Bo Pelini and Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville will be trying to get the LSU job. But LSU may look at Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn as well.
This could be 100% rumor, who knows. All I want to know is this: do you want to be at Tech Tommy?

"We're very lucky, people's houses burn down completely, we're very lucky," says Clint Ramsey, a 20 year Lubbock homeowner. Clint is counting his blessings after a close encounter with mother nature. "Never had a dealing with lightning before."
Clint was standing outside his back-door when it happened in a flash. "There were two real loud claps of thunder and real bright flashes of light one right after the other," says Clint.
A gaping hole under the eave is where Lubbock fire officials say the bolt of lightning entered. Instantly, sparking a fire in the attic.
"My wife said let's get the cars out. I got the cat and called 9-1-1," says Clint.
"Lightning is the most underated weather hazard," says Justin Weaver, a Meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
He says the Ramseys were lucky. "Lightning kills 100 people and injures 500 more each year," says Weaver.
That's more than tornadoes and hurricanes combined. And Weaver says West Texas storms are on average far more electrifying. "I think the peak lighning strikes we saw on our systems here were about 1200 strikes in a 15 minute period which turns out to be about 80 per minute so they're bound to hit pretty much anything in their path."
In fact Weaver says lighning can be up to 10 times hotter than the sun and will burn anything in its line of fire. "There's blankets, quilts, sets of dishes," says Clint.
Among the rubble left by the lightning, items both replaceable and remembered.
"Alot of things of sentimental value old pictutres and a yearbook from my freshman year in high school sitting over there and we found some wedding pictures," says Clint.
The national weather service has some recommendations to keep you safe during any severe storm.
A good rule of thumb is the 30-30 rule. If youi see lighning and hear thunder before you count to 30, you should stay inside because lighning can strike up to 50 miles away from a thunderstorm.

Chicago's gun ban struck down
CHICAGO -- A judge has ruled that Chicago's gun ban is unconstitutional.
The city wanted to ban all sales and transfers of firearms. The judge said that despite the fact city officials want to stop gun violence, a complete ban on firearms is illegal.
Chicago'd murder rate fell to it's lowest point since 1965 in 2013, but their total of 415 homicides was still significantly higher than totals in some larger cities, such as New york (333 homicides in 2013) and Los Angeles (250 in 2013).

Police hunting man for attempted abduction of 10-year-old girl in Stoneleigh
10:30am Tuesday 23rd October 2012 in News By Hardeep Matharu, Chief Reporter
Police are hunting a man who tried to abduct a 10-year-old girl in broad daylight on Saturday.
The incident took place at 11.45am, on October 20, at the junction of Clandon Close and Briarwood Road, in Stoneleigh, when the girl was approached by a man driving a silver car.
The man got out of the vehicle and attempted to pull the girl towards the car, but she pushed him away and ran from the area. The man then got back into the car and drove away.
The man was white, in his late 20s or early 30s, around 5ft 11ins, with curly brown hair with specks of grey. He has an athletic build, and his top row of teeth were damaged and several were missing.
The car he was driving is described as a silver saloon with tinted windows which had a number of dents in the bodywork.
Following the incident, police officers carried out a thorough search of the surrounding area and extensive house-to-house enquiries, and are now carrying out additional high visibility patrols in Stoneleigh.
Detective Inspector Oana King said: "This was a serious incident where a young girl was approached whilst walking home alone and we are investigating this matter as a priority.
"Fortunately, the girl was not injured during the incident but this was obviously a hugely upsetting experience for her and we are doing everything possible to identify the man involved and the vehicle he was driving.
"We have today released an electronic image of a man who we would like to speak to in connection with the incident as he may be able to provide vital information to assist with this ongoing investigation.
"Whilst this incident was clearly concerning, it is important to stress that offences of this nature are rare in Surrey and we are doing everything possible to bring the man responsible to justice.
"Surrey Police officers are carrying out additional high visibility patrols in Stoneleigh and I would urge anyone who may have seen or heard anything out of the ordinary on Saturday morning to contact Surrey Police as a matter of urgency."
Anyone with information should call the police on 101, quoting reference EP/12/4133, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

OMAHA (KPTM) – Flu season may not come until January through March, but health professionals want people to get their vaccinations during September and October.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends anyone older than six months get the influenza vaccination. Because strains in the flu change every year, so doctors don't know whether it will come early or late.
"I like to say the flu is predictably unpredictable," said Mark Rupp, M.D. with University of Nebraska Medical Center. "We know we're going to get an epidemic every year, we just don't know exactly when it's going to start."
Dr. Rupp, who works in UNMC's Division of Infectious Diseases, said it can take up to two weeks for the body to respond to any vaccine and it lasts six to eight months.
This year's flu shot has two A strains and one B strain in it. But for elderly people and others who may have a weaker immune system, a quadrivlent vaccine with two A and two B strains is also available.
Other vaccination options include a nasal spray, an egg-free vaccine (for those allergic to eggs. Many flu vaccines are raised in chicken eggs and may contact egg protein) and a vaccine with a smaller needle that is supposed to be less painful.
Dr. Rupp added that health professionals don't anticipate any vaccination shortages for the flu season.
Kubat, Walmart, Hy-Vee, Baker's, Target and Walgreens all offer walk-in appointments. People can also get the flu vaccination at their doctor's office.

|Safety and Health
In caring for its people, customers and environment, AEL Mining Services is firmly committed to ensuring that all its activities are conducted safely to minimise risk to employees, contractors and the public.
AEL's activities are widespread, and because of this, the group's exposure is diverse, examples of which include mining related and road safety issues, manufacturing of initiating systems, bulk explosives, chemicals and explosives, as well as general engineering activities.
With 17 businesses in the AEL group, there is a strong focus on standardisation throughout the organisation and an overall alignment of best safety and health practices.
AEL embraces a safety culture throughout the group, and strives towards exemplary performance in the safety and health fields, including the development, manufacture, storage, distribution, testing, destruction and use of explosive initiating systems, bulk explosive and nitrogen based chemicals.
As a leading explosives company in Southern Africa, and one of the leaders in the world, AEL works in close co-operation with external organisations and experts, promoting and maintaining open and constructive dialogue with employees, local communities, regulatory agencies, business organisations and any other affected or interested parties. AEL also utilises expert opinions, including auditing of current safety and health regimes and systems, as well as advising key role players on improving current safety and health programmes.
Workplace Safety
AEL works on a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), which includes all fatalities, lost time and non-lost time injuries, but excludes first aid injuries. Exemplary performance in safety and health includes the reduction and management of injuries - the main objective remains no injuries to anyone, ever!
AEL ended 2009 with a TRIR of 0.58 ( blue bar ) and improved from a 2008 rate of 0.73. AEL reduced the upper limit from 1.0 to 0.70 in 2002 and reduced the TRIR upper limit even further in 2005 to only 0.60.
AEL also reduced the total number of recordable injuries to a total of 22 from a total of 25 in 2008 and experienced zero fatalities in 2009, as well as zero occupational illnesses for the full year of 2009.
Contractor Safety
Contractor safety and health within AEL receive the same attention as employees' safety within all business units. Robust education with emphasis on rules and induction include an annual re-training of all contractors operating on its sites.
Contracting companies also get audited externally to ensure that they conform to set AEL standards and applicable legislation. Contractor meetings are also part of the programme, which and take place quarterly to ensure all contracting companies are aligned to changes and new initiatives from a health and safety perspective.
Analysis of serious accidents
AEL focusses on serious accidents by conducting a thorough investigation of all recordable injuries, which includes fatalities, lost time and non lost time recordable injuries, with the inclusion of all first aid injuries from 2009. AEL is also embarking on the full implementation of an incident recall system to ensure all learning captured from previous incidents are recalled to ascertain measures are still in place to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
New group safety standardisation
AEL embarked on a standardisation programme during 2009 to align standards and guidelines within all business units. The AEL World Class system will consist of numerous pillars of which health and safety will be one. The electronic unusual occurrence reporting system will also mean that AEL will have access to all related health and safety information per site, which will be applicable worldwide and due for implementation in 2010.
Managing Technological risk
AEL intends to focus on the overall safety principles and fundamental skills in 2010. The injuries sustained during 2009 clearly showed a lack in operational discipline, coupled to committing unsafe acts and not clearly thinking about the impending tasks. Safety principle education programmes will be rolled out per business unit in 2010 to up the bar in this area.

Recruit The Right Staff With Better Interview Techniques
Employers will need to sharpen up on their interview techniques.
Many employers will miss out on the best applicant and cost themselves time, energy and money because they lack basic interview techniques.
Compared to the amount interview tip information for jobseekers, employers are constantly overlooked when it comes to being educated on how to recruit the right person.
In the current market with competition for good applicants so strong, it is important the interview is a positive experience which sells the benefits of the company.
Many job applicants have turned down job offers due to a bad interview experience.
There are three basic rules of recruitment - CAN DO skills and experience, WILL DO attitude and personality and WILL FIT company culture.
Employers must understand an interview is an exchange of information and they must control the interview by asking the right questions.
To assist employers make the right decision Sarina Russo Job Access has developed a simple 10-point recruitment plan..
- Follow the 80/20 rule. Get the jobseeker to do 80% of the talking. The person asking questions and listening is the person who's in control of the interview.
- Ask open ended questions beginning with "what", "how", "why", "when", or "where". They invite long answers that encourage jobseekers to do most of the taking. Example: "When were you a member of a team? Can you describe what it was like?" "What would you do if …?", "How did you handle a situation where …"
- Avoid closed questions beginning with "did", "would", "do", and "are". These questions can be answered "yes" or "no". They do not encourage jobseekers to talk. Example: "Do you have any experience working on a team?"
- Ask probing questions beginning with "Tell me more", "Describe to me" and "Explain to me".
- Use the power of silence. Pause while waiting for a real answer. Don't ever underestimate the value of a silence in an interview.
- A jobseeker's past job performance is the surest guide to their future performance.
- A good job fit = the right education + the right experience + a compatible personality.
- Beware of the "just like me" trap. Focus on the job requirements and the candidate's qualifications.
Help the jobseeker feel at ease at the beginning of the interview. They'll open up and talk more freely.
- Don't make assumptions. Look for repeat patterns of behaviour to draw conclusions about the jobseeker.
A well conducted and constructed interview benefits both parties because an informed recruitment decision can be made.

A rollover crash in Linn County Thursday morning injured a 16-year-old girl from Fairfax.
The crash happened on Linn Benton Road just before 8:30.
The Linn County Sheriff's Office says Emily Howington was headed north and lost control, entering the ditch. An ambulance took Howington to Mercy Hospital in Cedar Rapids for what appear to be non-life threatening injuries.
The Sheriff's Office says Howington was the only person in the car, and was wearing her seat belt.

The Mansion Murders of Byrd and Melanie Billings
A Fast and Furious Robbery-Murder
The cameras gave the police a clear picture of the complex robbery-murder. In view of the great deal of planning and research which had clearly been devoted to the operation, police could only speculate that a person supposed to take of turning off the video system had failed to show up or had somehow forgotten.
Two cars were used in the crime. One, a large red passenger van that became one of the first publicly disclosed pieces of evidence, was captured on video. Three men rode in the red van, while four more followed in a gold Explorer.
In the video, the men seem dressed in ninja garball black, with their faces covered by masks.
The intruders initially made good progress. They entered through an unlocked door that led to the laundry room. Meanwhile three other men entered through the front of the house while a man continued driving the SUV up and down the street, waiting.
A minute after the cars arrived, surveillance video showed Melanie Billings entering the living room from the kitchen with her dog and one of the children. Byrd follows behind her, his arms in the air, facing two men clothed in all black, and one man in street clothes. The man in street clothes points a handgun at Byrd's head. The man was later identified as Gonzalez.
The video surveillance system captured two men with the long guns and Gonzalez holding Byrd at gun point, and one of them shooting. An interview with one of the suspects identified Gonzalez as the one who shot Billings. The patriarch was first shot in the legs in the living room. Byrd fell to the ground. Then he was dragged to the bedroom, leaving a trail of blood.
The autopsy revealed that Byrd had been shot with a 9 mm handgun multiple times in the head and legs; Melanie had been shot twice in her chest, as well as her face, and her head. Byrd was found face-down; Melanie, on her back.
Horrifically, two of the nine children who were home witnessed the killings. One girl walked to the window and watched the men in black enter; she quickly got back into bed and pulled the covers over her. The other witness, Jake, was 10 and had Down Syndrome. He was mute and used sign language to speak. He signed out what he heard. He'd heard a knock on the door. He told investigators that "two bad men" said to his father: "You're going to die. One. Two. Three."
"The Mom is dead!" yelled Spencer on the 911 call. "I live next door and the daughter came over and said the mother and father have been shot and they're dead! I've got to go get the kids! There's kids in the house!"
The men had exited with a safe, and had run toward the red van. In all, the men had been on the property for less than ten minutes. They had been in the house just under four.
In just under four minutes, the intruders had broken into the home, stolen a safe, and killed Byrd and Melanie Billings in cold blood before making their escape.

Training a dog is the most important thing a dog owner should be familiar of. Dogs are not only pets, if you consider your dog as your best friend, then you have to teach your pooch the proper protocol. If you want an organize house or less damage at home, try to train your dog. Well-trained pets always make people happy! Here the 3 fundamental things to understand to have a successful outcome on how to train your dog:
Understanding Dog Noises and Barks
Like human beings, dogs use their voices too, to communicate verbally. They usually bark, growl, howl and whine to utter something.
Dogs bark when they feel bored or lonely. Barking is their way to catch attention, to say "howdy," or to warn someone of trouble ahead. Be careful on how to respond to a barking dog. If the dogs get excited, they usually love to bark, at this state, never yell at them for they might think you are barking back.Puppies used to whine or whimper to get their mother's attention especially if they want to be comforted and fed. The puppies soon learn that people respond to their whining too, every time they want to eat or go for a walk. Dogs also whine when feeling frightened by lurid noises like fireworks and lightning strikes or thunderstorm.The cutest thing a puppy does is whining. But, sometimes whining dogs can get so annoying. Do not comfort them, try to ignore until they stop. After then, you can reward their silence with petting or praise.Growling is the easiest pooch sound to understand. It's a serious sign of "ready to attack," or "strong aggression" toward something. A dog behavioral training can help you get your dog away with growling. A professional trainer can help evaluate the case and get everything under control. Another is howling. This sound conveys loneliness, warning, excitement, craving or winning against their prey. The methods on how to train your dog can be easy using and understanding dogs noise and bark! The more you understand the signals your dog makes, the easier for you to train your dog effectively. If a dog creates an annoying sound which you think might not so cool to other people, there are applicable dog trainings to make them stop barking or making unwanted noise.
Reading Dog's Gestures and Ways
Humans use body language as a silent way of communication, as well as for dogs. Dogs use different gestures to communicate. The ears and eyes are dynamic parts which give dogs a chance to let go emotions and desires. Every actions your pet dog does… from tilting their heads to wagging their tails, all these contribute messages.
Dog Training Tips
It is not only important to know how to train a dog, however, determining what things to train them is necessary. Different dogs possess different traits and behavior. After knowing your dog's characteristics and gestures, you should address what are the things you could correct.Whether your dog needs obedience classes, basic tricks and performances, trainings on how to respond to commands and how to behave. There are actually many specific dog training tips you can teach your dog for fun and to create a strong bond between both of you.

Area high school students are learning what it takes to be a police officer.
They are taking part in the Louisville Metro Police Youth Citizens Police Academy this week.
The students have an opportunity to tour police headquarters and Louisville Metro Corrections.
On Thursday, they went to the police stables at Iroquois Park.
Organizers said they learn about teamwork, leadership and discipline.
"The program's not only for youth interested in law enforcement or maybe wanting to be police officers. This program is also for the youth to learn those life skills, to be around police officers because what it truly is is working with the community. And that's the only way that we're going to accomplish the prevention and control of crime," said LMPD Officer Matthew Gelhausen.
The next camp runs from July 8-12.
It's free, but participants must be between 14 and 17 years old.

Thank God, He Knows my Way, I Cannot Hide from Him
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous (Psalm 1:6).
To know the way of the righteous is an act of God's Omniscience. The sweet thing is: His knowledge about us comes from His loving Heart. Part of love's demonstration is to know personally the object of love. Out of God's love, God is longing to know us; I mean our weakness, our strength, our tears, our joys, everything about us! He wants to know it BY EXPRESSING OURSELVES TO HIM PERSONALLY, of course based upon our relationship with Him as our Father. I'm not talking here the basic of His Omniscience but the act of relationship between Him and us.
Also the perfection of His love is surely demonstrated by the fact that He knows us absolutely, since He is our Creator.
I believe the word "knows" in Psalm 1:6 doesn't only points to God's Omniscience (that He knows everything) but has an idea of personal relationship. Love always wants to know his love. The Lord knows who are His, for they are vulgarized by the walk of their lives.
One of the comforting truths also is that, the phrase "way of the righteous" impressed an idea of personality, behavior, manner, and works that completes the person's life. Hence, God knows us in a very tremendous way, our minds, our motives, our desires, everything! God knows and He is concerned and willing to help us for He has a heart that is tremendous and of absolute benevolence, that is, He is pleased to do good to us because it glorifies His character and exalt His person. For how can the Lord meet the needs of our life and even the very longings our heart and the purpose of our existence IF He is not that too wise and too good? And since God knows us very well, we can be certain and secure that His love will lead us to the Best and Highest Good of existence. The words of the Psalmist concerning the Lord is so tremendous to meditate, for it will cast all doubts, fears, anxieties, and discouragements that hinder us to live like Him. He says, "For the Lord knows the way of the righteous!" (Psalm 1:6)
God knows the way of the righteous because it is His way that the righteous follow. The way of the righteous is according to His will and character. Unlike the ungodly, his way is wicked and superbly in misalignment with God's Word. It is not known to God in a sense that, the Lord does no evil. There's no single point of imperfection in His mind, and therefore His knowledge is entirely perfect and absolute.
Friend, we have a trustworthy God! He is willing to listen to our questions and struggles! God is good! His mind is always in line with His heart! But sometimes we silently blaspheme the Lord with closed-mouth but by open heart when we are in unexplainable circumstances and we brag. Though most of our problems are consequences of our own foolishness, we are so close-minded and coward to believe that God is indeed good. Why should we just put our trust on Him with patient courage and anticipation? Oh we don't give God a place to prove Himself as He really is. We are so quick to stone God through the murmur our hearts and mind. We always haste for answer, not knowing that God answers in perfect timing and with perfect explanation of everything. Laziness to wait and focusing on the situation and concentrating to ourselves are the basic things that make God blur and false in our mind.

INDIANAPOLIS - Colts Coach Jim Caldwell spoke with reporters Monday following the team's announcement that quarterback Peyton Manning is doubtful for the season opener against Houston Sunday.
The coach did not offer any further details on Peyton's status. He is recovering from neck surgery in the off-season, but has now been told not to practice after experiencing back problems.
"We do put out a release that can answer as many questions as we can answer about certain subjects, and that's one of them. I think it states it pretty clearly all the things that we know. When we do have further details, we'll announce it at that time," said the coach.
It's a difficult spot for Manning, who is second only to Brett Favre for consecutive starts (Manning is at 208; Favre has 297).
"Obviously he loves to play, loves to compete, loves to practice and anytime he's out of that loop obviously that's gonna be tough for him," said Caldwell.
On Manning's streak, "Obviously when you look at it, it's certainly been an incredible feat. He's been an iron man. There's no other way to put it. He's been there every single step of the way. It's doubtful that he'll play this weekend. But nevertheless, it takes a very unusual individual to put that kind of string together," said the coach.
"He's always been a hard working guy with great zeal and zest for what he does in his profession. He doesn't miss days, off-season, in season, you name it, he's always there. Certainly that's a commitment he's probably made to the sport from the time he was a very little guy and he's still carrying that on today."
Kerry Collins
On back-up QB Kerry Collins, Caldwell said, "He's making good progress and he's working extremely hard at it. He's been working overtime at it. That's what this week is for when we can really focus in on what he's gonna have to do during the course of the game. He'll be fine. It's not as if we're dealing with someone who hasn't been in a lot of games. He understands concepts and systems. He'll be able to function, I think, very well. We don't expect him to be perfect. We expect other guys to step up and give him some assistance here and there. We have a lot of guys that can do that. I think he'll be fine."
The coach said the team has been working with Collins "since the day he walked in the door. It's been nonstop with him just in terms the amount of time he spent in preparation, extra meetings, walking out there on the field, going through the plays, et cetera. He's putting in a lot of extra hours."
"We're gonna do everything we possibly can just to try to make sure we cover as many bases as possible. You can't get it all. It's not an easy offense to come in and function in. So we have to make a few adjustments and changes to suit him as well," said Caldwell.
Caldwell didn't want to share what he's telling the other players in light of the QB changes. "But what I'll do is I'll tell them the facts and tell them exactly what the situation is and then we'll move forward."
Next man up
"You approach each season a little differently because so many different things happen," said Caldwell, answering a question about his confidence level. "What I focus on mainly is our objective. What do we have to do. My job is to get our team ready to function and play regardless of the circumstances. And not only just to function and play, but to win. If we don't win, there's a problem. That's the thing; we talk about it. It's a function of our team that we've always talked about it. The next man is up. Whomever is gonna be called upon, whomever that might be, has to be able to step up and play and play well enough for us to get a victory. We expect that and anticipate that and that's how we typically address issues where we may be missing a player or two."

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - Prescott city councilors have denied a petition to rename one famous block in the heart of the city as "Historic Whiskey Row."
Once lined with saloons, the portion of Montezuma Street informally has been known as Whiskey Row for much of the past century.
The council voted Tuesday against renaming it.
The Whiskey Row matter first went to the council in September, when businessman Dave Michelson presented the petition.
Supporters have said the name change would help conjure up Prescott's Old West heritage.
Other business owners argued that signs already designate the one-block area as Whiskey Row and say it could be better marketed. They also questioned the expense involved in officially changing their addresses on legal documents and mail.

Dear Santa, .... all I want for Christmas is an Offense!
At the present moment, our offense is quite frankly one of the worst units in the National Football League.
Our quarterback is almost 40, he has no arm to throw the accurate deep ball and ZERO mobility outside or inside the pocket...
Our highest paid receivers can't catch the football and have struggled to get open....
Our tackles can't handle the pass rush and get beat around the ends like "red headed step children" ...
We can't sustain a drive to save our ass and we rarely put up 6 in that rare off chance that we do get into the red zone...
The play calling is weak!
On top of all this, the offense is just dam boring to watch... it's like watching a dry documentary for 4 quarters.
On 3rd and 6 we throw a 5 yard pass!
We can only post 3 POINTS against the dreaded Niner De.
I've been a die hard fan for over 30 years and it's just frustrating to watch our defense play at a high level only to see our offense lose the game for us like in Miami.
Across the board offensively, Childress needs to make some changes and make them quick, it's ridiculous!

Hi folks, I'm visiting Denver this weekend for a concert on Saturday night. I'm free all of Saturday, and Sunday until 4ish. If anyone wants to a climbing day-trip somewhere, I'd love it. Can trad lead around 5.10, probably sport at the same level at the moment (shaking the dust off). Experienced in multi-pitch / anchors / not dying. Tim A
haha, guess I don't know the Colorado crowd so well. I thought emphasising knowing my shit, safety-wise, would be a good thing. Sounds like you do things the other way around there. Get some fresh gnar-gnar
I wouldn't judge all Colorado climbers by what you get off this site.

---- — For many months in 2006, Don Crane didn't think he would ever get to walk his daughter down the aisle. She wasn't even expected to live.
But one week ago, his daughter Kerri did walk down the aisle, on the arm of her father, and in view of the man who saved her life on a fateful day exactly seven years earlier.

South Pole picture gallery is a collection of photographs
about the astronomical observatory being constructed at the
end of the Earth. It shows the environment and facilities
that astronomers now work in at the South Pole.
The extremely cold and dry conditions of the Antarctic plateau
make it the finest terrestrial site for viewing the distant
stars and galaxies across the infrared and millimetre wavebands.
A variety of innovative telescopes are now being constructed
there to make more sensitive observations than can be achieved
elsewhere on the Earth. An international team of scientists
and engineers are participating in this work, including from
the USA, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the UK. Australia,
through the Joint Australian Centre for Astrophysical Research
in Antarctica (JACARA), is responsible for a site testing
program, quantifying how good the conditions at the Pole and
the high plateau are for astronomy. As part of this, JACARA
have installed the AASTO, or Automated Astrophysical Site
Testing Observatory, able to operate autonomously at uninhabited
sites. Many of the pictures show aspects of the AASTO and
the experiments it contains.

Wasn't it Romney who first mentioned killing big bird in last week's debate? -@JenGranholm on #TheWarRoom #firedbigbird—
The War Room (@GranholmTWR) October 10, 2012
Even Obama supporters are beginning to grow weary of the campaign's seeming obsession with Big Bird. Jennifer Granholm is trying to rewrite the narrative, but the debate wasn't that long ago, and anyone paying attention remembers that Mitt Romney said he liked Big Bird — he just didn't want to borrow from China to pay for him.
@GranholmTWR no. Romney said he would cut Fed funding of PBS.—

Kill Big Bird? We all know Big Bird will be just fine, federal funding or not.

Coming to the Future, Robot Handjobs [VIDEO]
Who is down for a robotic handy? A sex simulator has debuted in Japan that can offer just that! It appears as if you could be firing your hand in the future!
Who is down for a robotic handy? A sex simulator has debuted in Japan that can offer just that! It appears as if you could be firing your hand in the future!
As guys, we're pretty much open to any sort of sexual experience out there, except like, dolphin humping. That's weird. So, when we heard there's some research going on about sex with robots, we lost a little of our faith in the human race, but were also slightly intrigued.
Considering that it's already 2012, I'm surprised there aren't entire robot bands. This video shows that we obviously have the capabilities, the only question is, if we have robot bands, when do we get robot groupies?
If you're anything like me, you accept the fact that one day, robots will be our overlords. This video is just another step along that journey of world domination. Check out the best of the best from the 2012 Robotics Expo.
A new robot prototype, that looks eerily like the "Gekko" from 'Metal Gear Solid 4,' has been designed to easily navigate stairs -- watch it happen in this video that proves we're about 10 years away from Judgment Day.
It's just a matter of time now. the robot uprising is coming. If you buy into the Terminator theory of Robot Revolution(which I do), Skynet has already been self aware for almost 15 years. Now the robots are riding bikes. Things are getting serious people.
It won't be long until we as humans are obsolete. Whoever set this up is actually pretty creative. Now I'm sure it took along time to get everything right, especially since he only worked on it during the Mt. Dew/Funyun breaks during World of War Craft. Now he has some sweet tunes for his mom's basement!
Forget what you heard, nerds love to party. But they have to do it in the nerdiest way possible. Check out this beer pong match between 2 robots.
So believe it or not, cockroaches can now be controlled via remote control. Between the zombie ants I posted about last week,and now this, it really is only a matter of time before bugs take over.

Man, I haven't done one of these since my first year of blogging! Only then it was Mailbox Monday. Yeah. Anyway, I've been taking pictures of new books I get, so I thought I might as well post them here, too!
In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren (who was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie's This Week in Books).

is getting ready for Carolina on Monday night.
Hopefully, the extra day between games will give Barber some much needed rest and allow the Boys some time to correct the errors on defense, while the offense works on honing their timing and decision making skills.
The season won't be lost in September.
This loss is an opportunity to correct some poor decision making skills.
Preparation can often times help overcome bad luck.
But for a couple of bad decisions on the offenses part and a lucky break on the Giants fluke "ankle" touchdown, the Giants were dominated.
Just beat Carolina, that's all we have to do...

During such a disappointing season, it's hard to believe the Pittsburgh Pirates have anything considered good, let alone the best in all of baseball. But there hasn't been a more dominating bullpen tandem than Evan Meek and Joel Hanrahan. The save statistic gets all the attention and the Pirates off-season signing of Octavio Dotel was predicated on him sliding into the closer role. Consequently, Meek and Hanrahan have generally flown under the radar unless you're a hardcore baseball fan. But their numbers are ridiculous. Here are the combined stats for the two.
Meek 48 58.1 35 14 8 3 16 49 0.874 5.4 0.6 2.5 7.6 3.06 .172/.238/.255 .493
Hanrahan 48 46.2 33 18 18* 5 14 65 1.007 6.4 1.0 2.7 12.5 4.64 .194/.267/.347 .614
Combined -- 105.0 68 32 26 8 30 114 0.933 5.8 0.9 2.6 9.8 3.80 .182/.251/.297 .548
Latos 117.2 84 33 32 12 33 113 0.994 6.4 0.9 2.5 8.6 3.42 .195/.256/.307 .563
166 batters in all of MLB qualify for the batting title as of August 3. Cesar Izturis of Baltimore is the runaway winner (or loser) in the OPS category with a .577 OPS. The next lowest are two Mariners, Jose Lopez and Chone Figgins at .601 and .622 respectively. The lowest in the National League is St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina at .638. The lowest qualifier on the Pirates is Latings Milledge at .716.
The best comp for the combined line of Meek and Hanrahan is probably Houston Astro Pedro Feliz. In 271 at bats Feliz's line is .218/.241/.310/.551. Ex-Bucco Nate McLouth's OPS of .544 got him sent to the minors. Meek and Hanrahan's numbers have been compiled against 374 at bats which makes them even more impressive. Akinori Iwamura is almost the perfect comp in half the total number at bats with a line of .182/.292/.267/.558. Aki was a complete disaster during his time in Pittsburgh.
The closest pitching comp (which isn't really that useful, but is illustrative) is Mat Latos the San Diego Padres starter who is having an unbelievable season.
When the team you root for is 33 games under .500 you look for silver linings. These two guys have been more like 24 karat gold. They are certainly worth watching.
*It is also worth a footnote that in his fifth outing of the year Hanrahan gave up 6 hits and 6 earned runs during the Pirates 20-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Bucs were down 10-0 when Hanrahan entered the game in the seventh. Toss that line out of his totals and the numbers are even more impressive .168/.230/.286/.516, virtually identical to Meek's.

The family of the missing Bates College student has made the heartbreaking trip to Italy to identify his body.
"It is with much sadness that the family informs you of the loss of John Nolen Durkin and thanks everyone for their support during the past few days," the Durkin family said in a Facebook post on Saturday.
John Durkin's body was found in a train tunnel after he left the bar alone.
Durkin was a junior economics major in a study abroad program through Trinity College. He was last seen by friends early Thursday morning in the Campo de Fiori section of Rome.
Italy Police said someone aboard a passing train spotted the body a few hours later in the tunnel under a large park between stations near the Vatican and the Trastevere neighborhood.
Spokespeople from Bates College and Trinity College have released statements expressing their sympathies for the family.
Trinity said that this appears to be an isolated incident and is offering counseling to students through the program and on campus.
Bates said that it will be organizing a memorial gathering after the students get back from winter break.
"I was devastated. As a mom, you don't want to get that phone call," said Suzanne Salloway, a member of the church.
Investigators believe 21-year-old Durkin was hit by a train.

Mischa's A Hippie Chick
Mischa's A Hippie Chick
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 42 Reactions 0 Shares Print
It's a slow news day so let's just check out Mischa and her fabulous look. The girl must have a whole closet of Chanel purses. She spoke about her love for the recent hippie look and is declaring she's not a sweat suit type of girl. Here's more:
She said she liked a new hippie-inspired fashion trend in Los Angeles.
"The idea of doing beautiful sun dresses and flat sandals and lots of layers of jewelry and accessories," she reportedly said. "I am not big into the beachwear, sweat suit look. That is not really my vibe. What suits me is a little more rough around the edges."

DulceSkye 7 years
I don't like this outfit at all, and I wouldn't call it hippie style either. Her skin looks great in these pics,though. I'm just so confused about the clothing Californians wear. In NY, you don't wear a heavy top and then have your belly showing. Weather wise, it just makes no sense. You're either dressing warm to ward off the cold, or dressing lightly to keep cool.How can you do both? I've seen so many Cali people dress this way...they'll wear a tunic sweater, jeans and flip flops! I really need to visit the beautiful West Coast and experience the weather so I can understand the fashion choices. Anyway, I think her hair looks weird because those are extensions. I think her natural hair is a lot shorter than that.

Protection of academic freedom will require constant and tenacious defense around actual cases, such as the "Xinjiang 13."
Academic Freedom Cannot Be Guaranteed
Mary Gallagher is an associate professor of political science and the director of the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.
Updated September 1, 2011, 8:08 PM
During the Cultural Revolution, Chinese universities were closed and many intellectuals were sent to the countryside to be "reformed" through hard labor and interaction with "the masses." Faculty members and students were regularly subjected to political campaigns that could end careers or destroy lives for minor critical statements and acts.
China's universities, like its society at large, have come a long way since then. Today, Chinese professors have much more freedom to teach, debate and discuss topics without fear of political retribution. However, in the event of a political or social crisis that the government deems dangerous, the authorities can immediately clamp down on everyone.
In recent years, Chinese universities have courted American universities to engage on an institutional basis. Overall, increased contacts and exchanges have benefited the academic communities of both countries. Many Chinese university administrators and professors see the importation of American academic practices as a key path to improving China's ability to educate, innovate and open up to new thoughts and ideas. Some even hope that over time, China's leaders will begin to value the importance of academic freedom.
American universities' desire to cooperate with China invariably comes into conflict with the need to protect academic freedom. To date, most American universities have not developed clear strategies to deal with the conflict, but have evaded it by noting that academic freedom has been promised to them in principle.
In order to assure that American scholars can research abroad without unreasonable restrictions, universities with projects in China should recognize that academic freedom cannot be guaranteed by any local partner or institution. Protection of this value will require constant and tenacious defense around actual cases, like the "Xinjiang 13" scholars who were blacklisted by the Chinese government, some of whom are still not allowed to visit China.

How Can U.S. Scholars Resist China's Control?
When Beijing has banned academics, U.S. universities haven't fought back. How can they maintain academic freedom as they interact with China more? Read More »

Chapter Fifteen – Trial of Error:
The first witness is Jose Ganuze, a cop that's been instructed to lie by La Mentiroso's detective dad. The officer claims to have seen Walter running away from the scene of the crime, and Walt wants Wittless to ask Ganuze how he knew it was Foxx. Wittless ignores Walter, which infuriates Walt because according to him, the only way Ganuze could identify him would be by his license plate, which would contradict La Mentiroso's story about Walter being on foot. Wittless finishes with Ganuze, and now it's a friend of La Mentiroso's girlfriend on the stand.
She says that her, Jerome, and Amy, Jerome's girlfriend were out, but weren't drunk. Jerome only had one beer all night. Wittless barely presses her, then allows her to be excused. There's a brief recess and Walter starts to realize Wittless is an awful attorney. Back to the case and now Amy's on the stand. She repeats the standard story of Walt and a long-haired friend pissing on a church, Jerome giving the two men a stern talking to, Walt and the long-hair chasing Jerome, catching him, and bashing his head into the pavement, crying the entire time. Wittless asks if her or Jerome were drinking, but they're marathon runners and don't imbibe frequently (Walt has to stifle a laugh, as he spent most of the time describing how fat Amy is), then checks if her and Jerome were arguing that night, but silly John Wittless, they have a wonderful relationship!
With Amy done, it is time for the main event, Jerome La Mentiroso, to take the stand. He tells the same story as everyone else and cries during his testimony. Wittless doesn't get anything out of Jerome, and the State rests their case. Judge Paris ends things for the day, but it's the defense's turn at 8AM the next morning. It's the next morning, and the defense's first witness is Marty Manley, Walter's replacement at the liquor store. He didn't see the fight, but has heard about it plenty before there even was the threat of a trial looming. Marty tells the true story and fends off all of Contrary's cross examination questions. Next up is Mikey, and he's calm and confident, hewing to the same thing Marty said. After Mikey it's Dick, who does just as well, and then Grant. Walter is finally feeling confident as Judge Paris calls a break for lunch.
Fight Stats:
• Did Walter fight? No.
Key lines: "The DA finishes with his case and John Wittless gets up and struts to the witness stand like the little man he is, all form and no substance in his ice cream suit and pompadour blond hair."
Wittless wishes he could wear an ice cream suit a tenth as good as Mr. Excitement himself, John Laurinaitis does.
"I enter the courtroom five minutes early and the jury is already there with Queen Paris sitting on her thrown."
Holy shit, did Philip J. Fry write this crummy book?
Chapter Sixteen – Truth Will Prevail:
The lunch break is over and it's back to the court room, where Walter fantasizes about beating up Abe Contrary. Wittless calls Dick Johnson (LOL) to the stand, and Dick basically parrots Walt's version of events. Wittless closes by saying he's been on the wrong end of a street beating, but he took his lumps like a man. The jury heads out to deliberate and Walter is a nervous wreck.
It's the moment of truth and Walter Foxx is found not guilty on the sole count of assault with a deadly weapon (BOO!). However, Walt is found guilty on the lesser included count of simple assault (EAT IT, FOXX!) Walt is completely taken aback on this extra charge, as it turns out Wittless agreed to it the previous day during lunch with Paris and Contrary. Wittless takes Walter aside for a short break before sentencing to instruct Walt to remain calm and not flip out like he's prone to do.
Judge Paris checks over Walt's extensive file and hands down the maximum sentence, six months in jail despite Wittless pushing for community service and a fine. Walt gets five weeks to prepare, and then it's off to jail for Walter.
Fight Stats:
• Did Walter fight? Nope.
Key lines: "Right now, if I could get away with it, I'd rip his geek ass out of the chair by his tie, pull him over my hip, and straighten my left leg to make his feet leave the ground."
The thoughts of a completely innocent man, ladies and gentlemen!
"When I'm super fat, like I am now, I just want to rub my gut."
First, gross. Second, I thought Walt was hitting the weights, and boxing and wrestling gyms on a daily basis. Did court stress make him balloon back up to 300 pounds?
"He's too dumb to realize that he's too much of an idiot to judge anyone; but then he showed up for jury duty which tells you something."
Is it that he's dumb?
"Was it mercy that stayed my hand or stupidity?"
It was pity that stayed your hand! Oh, wait, you aren't Bilbo Baggins.
"You can't look into the eyes of the gorgon for long without turning to stone."
Wait, he knows what the f**k a gorgon is?
"I just made it through the rocket's red glare, too, and I'm still here as well."
And by "still here" Walter means "biding my time for five weeks until I go to prison for half a year."
