Gelasius I, who is recorded as having come from Roman North Africa, was pope from 492 CE to 496 CE. His feast day is 21 November.
Date of Birth: unknown, North Africa
Date of Death: 19 November (11 days before the Kalends of Decembris) 496, Rome
Little is actually known about Pope Gelasius I (as is true for the other two 'African' popes, Victor I, and Miltiades) . Gelasius succeeded Felix III in March 492 CE (during the reign of the Roman Emperor Theodosius II) to become the 49th pope, in a line that starts with St Peter (32--67 CE). He died in 496 CE, in Rome, and was succeeded by Anastasius II. Gelasius is said to have previously been Felix III's clerk, penning many of his ecclesiastical documents.
The Liber Pontificalis states "Gelasius, natione Afer", which roughly translates as "Gelasius, an African by birth." But Afer was the Roman term for its North Africa province Africa Proconsularis -- present day Tunisia and Algeria -- so he was likely either Carthaginian, Berber, or Roman by decent. (It is unlikely that he was from sub-Saharian Africa, since the Romans used the term Aethiopes ('Ethiopians') [from the Greek "aitho" and 'ops" effectively meaning "burnt face"] to describe black Africans.) Gelasius is reported1 to have referred to himself as Romanus natus, i.e. born a Roman citizen.
Gelasius fought against the Acacian Schism (a position he inherited from his predecessor Felix III) -- Rome's refusal to accept the Henotikon promulgated by the Byzantine Emperor Zeno (c. 425--491 CE) in 482 CE. The Henotikon tried to reconcile the preaching of the Monophysites (who advocated that the human and divine in Christ are one in nature) as supported by Acacius , the Partiarch of Constantinople (in power from 471--489 CE). Acacius' successor, Anastasius I (ruled from 491 to 518 CE), was sympathetic to the Roman view but continued to support the Henotikon. Gelasius I wrote a text, De duabus in Christo naturis ("On the dual nature of Christ") which outlined the Western (Roman Catholic) view which opposed the Monophysite heracy. (The Acacian Schism over the Henotikon was finally settled in 519 CE with the excommunication of Acacius being recognized by the Byzantine Emperor, Justin I.)
Gelasius I's rule increased the tension in the church between the West and East, and he took the opportunity to reiterate the primacy of Rome (claimed because of the bishopric of St Peter, the first pope in Rome) over both eastern and western parts of the church.
Gelasius I was prolific, and is acknowledged to have written almost one hundred letters and six treatises. The foremost states that civil and sacred power are both of divine origin, and are independent of each other -- in other words there should be a separation of church and state. Additionally, Gelasius developed a list of acceptable and non-acceptable books, the De Libris Recipiendis et Non Recipiendis ('Books to be Received and Not-Received'), which effectively differentiated between canonical and apocryphal books, as well as those books by proscribed heretics, which were available at the time.
Gelasius I also re-envisaged the pagan festival of Lupercalia into the Feast of Purification in an attempt to remove its relationship with pagan fertility rites. The original festival exists today as Valentine's Day.
Gelasius I, the first pope to be known as "Vicar of Christ", was buried in the Basilica of Peter the Apostle in December 496. CE.

The cushion works great for the Baby Jogger Citi Mini! It fits the seat perfectly and provides just enough cushion for baby. It does not however fit as well into the Bugaboo seat.

RE: "Wake Up, Black Community" by Eugene Thompson: It is well-known advertisers seek a target market and/or demographic to push products. Coors, or any other brewing company, is no different. It is cynical to criticize any company for trying to make a profit. It is laughable to make this a race issue.
Thompson claims it is documented black people tend to consume more alcohol as they age. Why is it Coors' responsibility to concern itself with the increase of the consumption of alcohol? Why do organized groups such as the NAACP, black pastors or leaders in the Danville community need to make this issue their priority? You can't go crying to someone else to solve a problem you see as unjust all the time.
I do not think color seems to be a reason one can rely on to determine alcohol dependencies. It seems as though this is an issue to be dealt with at home. It is about the parents being involved in their kids' lives and giving them the best opportunities to make the right choice as it relates to not only alcohol, but drugs, teen sex and the like.
There are many stereotypes that say black people favor Old English malt liquor instead of Heineken, and perhaps white people prefer Budweiser over St. Ides. You can decide whether or not these stereotypes are true. Regardless, people drink what they drink based on their culture, friendships and tastes, more than an ad they see on the billboard or the television.

Albany- The United States Geological Survey says a multi-million dollar levee along the Flint River at Albany would not prevent future flooding.
Armed with maps and computer models, the U.S.G.S. says programsThe Army Corps of Engineers had proposed building a levee along the river behind the Albany Civic Center. But the U.S.G.S. hydrologists say a levee on the west bank, which was proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers, would send water to east Albany. Instead, they say dredging parts of uneven river bottom to improve flow and straightening out this elbow in the river north of the Oakridge Drive will deter flooding.
"That would increase the velocity through there and hopefully get the river through faster. If we model it, we can see what effect it has before actually spending the money to do that," says Jonathan Musser.
The U.S.G.S. study cost $300,000. The federal government picked up half the tab, the city and county paid $75,000 each.
Since the 1994 flood, Albany and Dougherty County have spent more than one million dollars on studies by the U.S.G.S. and the Corp of Engineers.

Including last night's game, the Rangers are in a stretch of 15 consecutive games against the NL Central.
The 6 teams of the NL Central were a combined 31-62 in interleague play last year with none of them coming anywhere close to being .500. This is clearly still the worst division in baseball.
These 15 games may tell us something about this Rangers team. They have a chance to show they can win, and if the starting pitchers can't right themselves against these teams then we're in bigger trouble than we thought.

Two days a week Elizabeth Kacere is the first person to arrive at the Witwer Center in Cedar Rapids. She decorates the tables and sets up displays, helping the place where seniors gather to eat their Meals on Wheels together feel more like home.
"Everything on these tables means something to someone," said Kacere.
Kacere is 82 years old, which helps her connect with the seniors at the center.
"When you have that older adult who was walked that journey in life and who understands the older adult issues, it's just outstanding," said Myrt Bowers, Witwer Center.
Kacere is now being recognized for her efforts. After 500 people were nominated, Kacere was voted the Iowa winner of the Home Instead Senior Care's Salute to Senior Service Award.
"I enjoy doing this," said Kacere. "I'm very thrilled about it. And hopefully I've made someone's life just a little happier."
According to the seniors at the Witwer Center, Kacere has. The $500 she won as the state winner will go back to center, continuing to help make days better for the seniors.
The Witwer Center will hold a reception for Kacere on June 29th. The next day the National Salute to Senior Service winner will be announced. If Kacere wins she gets $5,000 to donate to charity, which she says would also go to the Witwer Center.

Who's a better SG fit for the Wolves come draft time, Henry or Turner?Chad Ford (1:49 PM)
If Evan Turner's back is healed and there will be no long term problems ... he's awfully good. However, the Wolves really need a shooter and that's Turner's weakness. Henry, on the other hand, has deep range. I'd say they'd probably lean toward Xavier Henry.

How about Bynum and Farmar for the rights to Rubio, Love, and throw ins? Fixes both teams needs
I would do it in a heart beat if I was the Wolves. Not sure I'd do it if I were the Lakers. Think the Wolves get the better end of the deal. Besides, Bynum is a base year player this year making him difficult to trade. There'd have to be a lot of other pieces to make this happen.
Love and Rubio for Bynum? I don't think I'd trade Love for Bynum straight up.

I'm a middle aged single man who often fantasizes about being a submissive slave to a very demanding mistress a woman who would take great pleasure in subjecting me to the ultimate forms of humiliation.
My fantasy goes something like this: After a spanking, my mistress locks a collar around my neck and leads me to a table where she gives me an enema. Continuing on to the next excitement, I am blindfolded and led briskly to the living room. When my blindfold is removed, I see a man standing before me with his pants around his ankles, his pulsing cock standing proudly at attention. I can feel myself begin to turn red with shame and excitement.
I try to avoid eye contact as I begin to kiss his neck and chest, then I feel a firm tug on my collar that drives me to my knees. The man's cock appears absolutely huge from this angle! Trying desperately to postpone the inevitable, I kiss it tenderly, and run my tongue up and down the shaft.
I notice my mistress palming her whip impatiently. She doesn't have to speak I know what she wants. I take a deep breath, swallow the last of my pride and take the stranger's cock in my mouth. My mistress is very pleased with my obedience and my willingness to please her.
After a few minutes, I find it's not unpleasant for me, and I continue sucking the stranger's cock until his hot, wet semen shoots all over my face. I lick up every drop because I know my mistress will accept nothing less. After the man leaves, my mistress informs me that I have been a good slave: totally submissive and sufficiently obedient. I will therefore be granted a period of foot worship.
As I brush my cheek across the cool leather of her spike heeled boots, I confess my love for her and my obedience to her. I am truly lucky to have a mistress who understands and accommodates my need to be submissive.
I hope other slaves will write about this form of humiliation. T.W., Seattle, Washington
Until recently I thought most of the letters to Penthouse Forum were people's daydreams. The following personal experience, however, helped to change my mind.
I drive a truck. Last Monday I was heading north when I noticed a Mercedes convertible speeding up, slowing down and swerving a bit. I pulled alongside the erratically driven car and saw a woman who looked to be in her 30s seated behind the wheel. She had brown hair, was neatly dressed and was holding a cup of coffee. To my sudden surprise, she took the coffee mug and slid it up and down the inside of one thigh. Then she pulled her pleated skirt up around her hips. I blinked twice, noticing she wasn't wearing any panties. Her naked cunt now bared to me, she moved the hot coffee mug around her furry patch. Then she put the mug down on the console and dipped her finger into the cup. She pulled her finger out, a drop of hot liquid barely visible at the tip, and began rubbing her clit with her finger. I couldn't believe what was happening right there on the road, and I was in a state of total shock. My dick grew harder every second as I watched her get herself off with her hot little finger.
After about five minutes of this, I caught her attention by tooting on my horn. She casually looked up at me, knowing that I had been watching her. She winked and motioned for me to get behind her.
She pulled into a rest area. I followed her, stopped and jumped out of the cab. As I was walking toward her car, the lady hopped over the console and lay back in the passenger seat. I opened the car door and started, not knowing what to say. She broke the silence by saying, "You're my first trucker. I've always wondered if you guys are as horny as they say."
My jeans almost burst open as
she fondled my prick through the denim. As quickly as I could, I pulled my pants down, got in the car and climbed on top of her. I entered her firmly but gently. Her juices started flowing. I fucked her so intensely, she came in two minutes. I continued to pound her until she had another orgasm. I quickened my thrusts to meet her arching body.
Just as I was about to come, she reached over, grabbed the half full mug and poured the warm coffee where we were joined. I exploded! The warm liquid and her heaving body sent me into one of the best orgasms I've ever had. My dick must have twitched inside her for 30 seconds.
After we relaxed for a little while, she said, "Thanks for some cream in my coffee." I told her to call me the next time she wanted a coffee break! Name and address withheld
I'm a 20 year old man, an honor student at a popular university. I study most of the time, and for that reason have a reputation as a boring egghead. But if my friends knew about the sexual experience I had last semester they'd see that I'm not the nerd they think I am.
One evening I was alone in the library where I spend more than some of my time studying for a calculus midterm, when in walked a tall, slender blonde carrying a tall stack of books. I recognized her from one of my classes and was well aware of how, during lectures, my mind wandered to thoughts of being entwined in naked passion with this tall, tan beauty. She had a small, round ass and big, firm breasts that sat upright without the need of a bra. She took her place in a quiet corner and opened one of the books she'd carried over. Looking at her, my studies suddenly lost all importance.
After some time passed, I saw her snap her pencil in anger. This was the perfect opportunity, and I went over to her and asked if she was having problems with a particular subject. She replied, "Yeah, you could say that." It seemed the troublesome subject wasn't calculus or biology, but her boyfriend. We talked about her problem for a while, and before long she leaned over and whispered an invitation to continue our conversation someplace more intimate her dorm room across campus.
In her room, I tried to let my hands rest casually on my lap in an attempt to hide the hard on bulging against my fly. However, when she saw my erection, she smiled devilishly and offered to help cure the building tension there. When I shyly answered, "Uh, yeah, okay," she slowly unzipped my pants and freed my blazing boner. I had no idea what she was going to do next, but I was pretty sure that it was going to be good.
She knelt in front of me and took my cock into her mouth. I let loose a moan of joy as my stiff cock slid in and out of the moist tunnel formed by her lips and tongue. She was sucking it all the way down to the base, and I soon shot my load. She took it with no effort, then suggested that I undress, lie back and relax.
I watched her undress and my limp tool suddenly grew hard again. She climbed on top of me, slid my hard dick into her pussy and rode me, swaying back and forth and from side to side, enveloping my cock with her hot, hairy cunt and giving herself the benefit of every hard inch. When I felt her box tighten up around my dick I knew she was going to come. She climaxed with a great shudder just as her roommate entered! The three of us exchanged embarrassed glances, the roommate made some excuse and left the room, and I quickly got dressed and left.
The next morning I found it impossible to concentrate on my calculus exam. My mind was still engaged in the basic equation of one into one. Name and address withheld
I don't know any woman who doesn't have a celebrity crush. Some girls are nuts about Patrick Swayze, others go crazy over Rob Lowe. But for me, it's Mel Gibson.
In my fantasy, I'm at the movies alone, watching one of Mel's new pictures. I'm so interested in what is going on up on the silver screen that I don't notice someone slipping into the seat beside me. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see it's him the man of my dreams, Mel Gibson! I'm so stunned to see him next to me that I'm totally speechless. He smiles at me and asks in a deep, seductive voice, "Are you enjoying the movie?"
It takes a minute, but after getting over the shock, I'm finally able to speak. "Yes," I blurt out. He laughs and tells me to relax. We talk for a while. I tell him how much I adore him. While we are chatting, I feel wetness growing in my crotch.
His voice suddenly takes on a low, seductive quality. He places his hand on my thigh and slowly, teasingly rubs me. At this point I'm so horny I start moaning in his ear.
He stops rubbing my leg, looks into my eyes and whispers, "This isn't the right place for what I have in mind." He stands and takes my hand. I follow him out of the theater in a trance, not caring where he's taking me as long as we're together. When we get to his car, he tells me that he's going to make all my fantasies come true.
He pushes the front seats back and starts kissing me with such passion that I feel like I'm going to melt in his arms. Our tongues entwine. His hands travel over my chest and he unbuttons my blouse so he can suck on my rock hard nipples.
He does this with such expertise that I have an orgasm with no trouble at all. Now it's my turn to show him my ability, and I pull his pants down and eagerly grab his beautiful cock, which is already hard. I start licking and sucking every inch of it.
I deep throat him ever so gently. Then he starts fucking my mouth with full thrusts. I begin to have another orgasm just from hearing his manly grunts. He has me sit back, and yanks down my jeans and panties. His warm, strong hands spread my legs, and he places his hot mouth on my pussy. He licks, sucks and nibbles my cunt in such a way that I'm almost out of my mind with pleasure.
This is too much. I'm screaming. I tell him to fuck me, to drown me in his come. He kisses his way up to my heaving tits and starts tonguing my erect nipples until they feel as if they are going to burst. He licks and sucks my shoulders and neck, and then presses his lips against mine. I tell him to take me.
We hop into the back of the car. I lay on the seat while he grabs my legs and wraps them around his waist. His cock feels like a burning poker as he steadily slides it all the way inside me. He glides in and out, in and out.
I beg him to fuck me harder, and he does, thrusting with great strength. Suddenly, I'm coming and I never want the feeling to stop.
I beg him to fill me with his come. He grabs my tits, pumps me harder and cries, "I'm going to come!" I feel his cock start throbbing inside my pussy, and then his thick, hot come starts spurting. He holds my breasts tightly and continues to thrust as his cock spews its hot, creamy load.
We just lay there for a while, not saying a word. I feel warm and comfortable in his arms. I never want the afterglow to end. But then he breaks the silence, saying, "Someday we'll meet again." Name and address withheld
On a recent Saturday night, my wife Erika and I decided to go to a local tavern. Looking around, we spotted some friends and joined them at their table. After we had a few rounds of drinks, my eyes began to roam about the darkened bar. I noticed a tall blonde talking with another girl at the far end of the bar she was certainly the most attractive woman in the place. As my wife was engaged in a serious conversation with her girlfriend, I proceeded to make my way to the bar to order another round of drinks. In doing so, I caught sight of the same curvaceous blonde slowly coming toward me.
When she was standing next to me, she asked me if it would be all right if she placed her hand in my pocket. I wasn't sure what she was up to, but I wanted to find out. After quickly checking to see that my wife was still engaged in conversation, I nodded yes, so she placed her hand in my pocket.
After withdrawing her hand, she asked if I wanted to put my hand down her front pocket. I still wasn't sure what her game was, but I said yes, so I proceeded to stick my hand down into the gorgeous blonde's front pocket. To my amazement, I felt something bushy. I then realized that her pocket had a hole in it and she wasn't wearing panties. I proceeded to run my fingers through her thick bush, until I encountered the moistest pair of love lips I had ever felt. She began to moan softly. Fearing that I would get caught by my wife or one of our friends, I withdrew my hand.
I returned to my table, but soon I had to take a piss and I went to the rest room. Leaving the men's room, I had to pass in front of the ladies' room. As I was doing so, I heard a soft voice beckoning me inside. When I entered, I found the same girl from before sitting on a toilet, smiling at me. I quickly learned that she reallly was a true blonde.
I got down on my knees and began licking her pussy, bringing her to a fast climax. When I stood up, she pulled my zipper down and gave me the best blowjob I've ever had in my life even though she didn't let me come.
After she had licked me clean, she got up and walked over to the sink, where she bent over and exposed her lovely pink gash. I entered her from behind. Her moans of pleasure were so intense that I was aroused to heights of ecstasy I had never before experienced. After my final thrust, I withdrew my cock from her steaming pussy and shot my creamy load all over her back.
Totally spent, I rejoined my wife and friends with a smile on my face. G.C., Montclair, New Jersey
I'm a happily married woman who's been with her man for a decade now, but I have to tell you about something that happened a few weeks before I got married. I was thinking about my upcoming wedding, when I started to get a case of cold feet.
I didn't really know Rocky, but I used to see him walk by my house every night on his way to the gym. He looked great in his tight T shirt and Spandex shorts that showed every inch of his big cock. Just the sight of his shapely bulge swaying before my eyes would make me damp in the panties. To make a long story short, this night I was sitting on my steps around one in the morning when Rocky came staggering down the street as drunk as a skunk. He came over to me and started talking. My nipples got hard as he sat down and told me that he'd lost his keys and was locked out of his house.
I told him he could sleep on my couch. He was grateful. We went inside. I told him that if he took a shower he would feel better, and he agreed. Since Rocky was falling all over the place, I insisted on helping him. I slowly undressed him. When I got down to his shorts, I thought I was going to die when I saw his cock.
When I turned the shower on, I "accidentally" stuck my head under the spray of water. I told him that since I was already wet, I might as well join him. I got undressed faster than the speed of light and jumped into the shower stall. To my surprise, Rocky handed me the soap as soon as I was in the shower and asked me to help. I slowly rubbed his chest and caressed his buttocks with the wash rag. Then I slowly fell to my knees and sucked on Rocky's cock. I waited for some kind of reaction from him. All I got was the sound of pure satisfaction. I kept sucking and playing with his huge balls. When he finally exploded, I swallowed his hot jism.
I got over the case of cold feet, and I'm glad this fling showed me how much I truly love my man. Name and address withheld

A court date was continued Friday for a boxer accused of helping set a Las Vegas pet store on fire with 27 canines inside.
Kirk Bills, 27, was booked into Clark County Detention Center on Thursday after being captured on an arrest warrant in Indiana on Feb. 7. Bills' charges include arson, burglary and 27 counts of attempted animal cruelty.
Bills' court appearance was set for Monday at 8:30 a.m. in Las Vegas Justice Court.
Earlier this month, authorities identified Bills as a suspected accomplice in the Jan. 27 fire of the Prince and Princess Puppies and Boutique.
In an arrest report, investigators accused the pet store's owner Gloria Lee, 35, with planning to set the business ablaze with 27 canines inside. Documents also described video surveillance footage that captured a person identified as Lee letting in a man who had spread gasoline throughout the store before lighting a fire there.
Documents said an automatic sprinkler system was able to put out the blaze. The canines were not seriously injured.
Lee was subsequently arrested while state attorneys found enough evidence to have a warrant issued for Bills' arrest.
An FBI Violent Crimes Task Force arrested Bills south of his hometown of Chicago in Crown Point, IN.
Lee was also being held at CCDC on $310,000 bail.

DIY Project #6: Yarn Wrapped Bottles
If you have ever wondered what those cute little mint sauce and oyster sauce bottles lying around your recycled bottle collection could be made into, then this easy DIY is for you!
You can follow the simple steps below to see how we made these very cute wrapped bottles with just a few supplies from our crafting cupboard.
These make great gifts and are good for the earth too (especially if you use organic wool).
Let's get started with materials:
- Assorted wool of varying width and material (ours is beautiful and soft and made in Australia with some of them having sparkly bits too!)
- Mod Podge (or other adhesive glue)
- Paint brush
- Scissors
- Assorted empty bottles
Follow the steps below to make your beautiful wrapped bottles (make sure your read the whole project through before getting started):
Some tips on these steps:
- Don't put too much glue on the bottle at one time as it tends to dry and you have to re-glue instead of just adding glue
- Make sure you keep all of the ends at the back so that three sides are completely even and pretty
- Use varying widths of colours for a nice contrast
- Mix in some glittery wool for extra added sparkle
Once you have completed Steps 1 – 5, you just have two more things to do:
And if you haven't made them as a gift for a friend.
(Or if you have an you've decided to keep them for yourself!)
Then all you need to do is:
We hope you find this little project as fun as we did.
Don't forget you can check out our other DIY projects and free printables for more crafty goodness.

text: With the announcement of the new uniforms coming shortly, I don't think anyone posted a thread to see what everyone hopes/wants/desires. Someone posted a rumor that the new uniforms may be gold and blue. I'm not totally opposed to that (Golden State has those colors, and I think their uniforms look awesome). I'd even be fine with keeping red, white, and blue as long as they go for that retro feel that a lot of teams are doing nowadays. I also hope they still keep the blue alternates that say NEW YORK on the front or maybe black jerseys as another possibility for alternates. There's just so much swagger to having black jerseys (Exhibit A: Chicago Bulls, Exhibit B: Miami Heat) and I'd love to rock a black Deron Williams (or hopefully Gilchrist) jersey. So what do you guys want to see in the new uniforms?

Shop the MightyNest Clearance (be one of those savvy mamas and smart consumers!)
12.29.09 Shop the MightyNest Clearance (be one of those savvy mamas and smart consumers!)
I aspire to be the kind of person that is highly organized and efficient (all the time-- or at least more of the time!). The kind of mama that would shop the clearance sales right after Xmas from the comfort of home. No fighting the masses. No shopping at awful box stores. Simply buying safe, eco-friendly toys at the best prices around. Month and months in advance. They approach each holiday with organized calm, with checklists already fulfilled, the spirit of the holiday in their eyes. (Do they really exist??).
So I looked with interest at the clearance page at MightyNest, and it is full of good stuff! Like this Plan Toy barn, at 30 percent off. It's safe, from a great company, and would make an awesome birthday or holiday present for next year.
Or maybe this sweet little Eco-home again from Plan Toys. A great deal at $46.00, down from $64.99.
And if you are thinking big, a lovely, fine present for next Christmas, check out this play kitchen from Plan toys. Our play kitchen is a big hit and has saved me from serious stress during many a dinner preparation.
If your budget allows (ours doesn't), picking up a few items to hide for next year, or a coming birthday would be a smart and savvy mom thing to do. Have fun! And congratulations to MightyNest for their first holiday season. Happy new year to all!

Everyday hero
I'm simply amazed at the good works of good people. Really. So many people doing so many things to help others. I probably don't recognize them often enough, but it's one of my New Year's resolutions to try.
I can't imagine anyone doing more than Tim Myrick. I guess I've known him for about a thousand years -- or whenever it was I started covering the Oak Ridge operations. I can't say I know him all that well on a personal level, but I know him well enough or know enough about him to say he probably qualifies for some sort of sainthood (at least my version of it).
Myrick is what I consider an everyday hero. I don't mean everyday in the sense of average or run of the mill. I mean he's somebody who's a hero every day.
I know him best for his environmental work at the Dept. of Energy contractor organizations over many years, and some of that might indeed qualify as good deeds because it made things a little cleaner and safer for everybody. But maybe that doesn't officially count because he got paid to do that sort of work.
It's what he's done beyond his "work" that seems to make Myrick so special. For goshsakes, he took retirement, as best I can tell, so he'd have more time to do all his volunteer stuff. That's beyond good, don't you think?
Every time I hear or see his name mentioned there's some new or different mission on his agenda, ranging from Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties to Habit for Humanity to Living Waters for the World.
That doesn't begin to touch on his many activities. I'm not going to try to list all of Myrick's good deeds because I don't know them all and I didn't mean for this to be a testimonial. It's just a chance to remind myself and maybe others that there are some really good things taking place around us, and folks like Tim Myrick inspire us all to be a little better.
It's not possible to say too many good things about Tim! He's an all-round "good guy."

A major Italian clothing company has a U.S. trademark on the word "Jesus." The trademark gives "Jesus Jeans" the exclusive rights to sell pants, shirts, jackets, and other clothes bearing Jesus' name.
The company says it doesn't mind if places like churches make a few T-shirts, but when businesses sell "Jesus" products to make money, its lawyers clamp down on them.
A man who puts together Christian social functions in Virginia sold T-shirts and hoodies under the name "Jesus Surfed." He got a letter from "Jesus Jeans" telling him to stop. Something similar happened to at least five other "Jesus" clothing companies.
U.S. trademark law is generally designed to protect consumers and the people who invest in making products. The idea is to prevent confusion over who truly makes a product. That way, brands that are good can easily be spotted and bought and brands that are bad can easily be avoided.
At least ten other countries refused to grant the trademark including Britain, which called the idea "morally offensive to the public."
What are your thoughts on "Jesus Jeans" holding the exclusive clothing rights to Christianity's central figure? Leave your comments on our Facebook page.

A great looking page that serves as the portfolio for an icon designer. I like the cloud theme, the smooth slider and how the moon in the logo changes to a house on hover. Lots of great design work here.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This is a very simple site with two key design elements: typography and color. The type choices are really quite nice, I like the inset letterpress look. The colors are mostly uniform but still quite bright and friendly.Posted in Web Design → Corporate
Giving your site a huge full bleed photo slideshow is a simple trick with a big impact. I love the images used here and the minimal sleekness of the whole design. They let their work speak for itself and it does a great job of doing so!Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This unique portfolio site features sort of a dark and mysterious design. It is a bit different than the type of design we normally feature and should inspire you to consider alternate styles when creating something that really fits your personality.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio

Hopefully this is of use to someone -- I was interested to see how the playoff seedings/tiebreakers would break down (and primarily the implications it would have for the Bulls), so thought I might compile this in case anyone else is interested:
1. Cleveland - 65-15 (clinched first): remaining games are @ Indiana, vs. Philadelphia.
2. Boston - 60-20 (
2-2 in season series with Orlando, division record 14-1, conference record 39-10 -- UPDATE: Boston has clinched 2nd): remaining games are @ Philadelphia and vs. Washington.
3. Orlando - 58-22 (
division record 13-2, conference record 36-14 -- UPDATE: Orlando has clinched 3rd): remaining games are @ Milwaukee and vs. Charlotte.
4. Atlanta - 46-34 (clinched 4th): remaining games are vs. Miami and @ Memphis.
5. Miami - 42-38 (
2-2 season series with Philadelphia, 3-1 season series with Chicago, 2-1 season series against Detroit, division record 9-6, conference record 26-23 -- UPDATE: Miami has clinched 5th by virtue of a better conference record than Chicago and Philadelphia): remaining games are @ Atlanta and vs. Detroit.
6. Philadelphia - 40-40 (2-2 season series with Chicago, 2-1 season series with Detroit, division record 6-9, conference record 24-26): remaining games are vs Boston and @ Cleveland.
7. Chicago - 40-40 (2-1 season series with Detroit, division record 8-7, conference record 23-27): remaining games are @ Detroit and vs. Toronto.
8. Detroit - 39-41 (division record 7-8, conference record 26-24): remaining games are vs. Chicago and @ Miami.
Order of Tiebreakers (I haven't listed tiebreakers that are irrelevant to Chicago, or those that could not occur):
1. Head-to-head won-lost percentage.
2. Division won-lost percentage.
3. Conference won-lost percentage.
Implications for Chicago's seeding:
To finish 5th: Chicago MUST finish with a better overall record than Miami (Miami would win tiebreaker by virtue of winning the season series) -- Chicago can no longer win the 5th seed.
2. To finish 6th: Chicago MUST finish with a better record than Philadelphia;
OR with an equal record to Philadelphia, AND either Chicago MUST beat Detroit OR Philadelphia MUST lose to Boston or Toronto (That way, Chicago would win the tiebreaker by virtue of better division record. If Chicago lost to Detroit and Philadelphia beat both Boston and Toronto, Chicago would finish 7th because of its worse conference record).
3. To finish 7th: Chicago MUST have a better record than Detroit (UPDATE: Noted that if Chicago beats Detroit, then 7th is sealed);
OR Chicago MUST have an equal record to Detroit AND Chicago MUST beat Detroit (If both teams have equal records and Chicago loses to Detroit, both teams would have equal division records and Detroit wins 7th because of its better conference record).
NB: I've updated the records and scenarios in this post.

Lumia 620 - the cheap iPhone from Nokia!
I am currently working for an oils services contractor who is in the process of evaluating replacements for their Blackberry phone service. Most of the office/sales staff have Bold or Torch but we have a bunch of cheap Curves our field staff use. They have narrowed it to iPhone or Windows Phone.
As an iPhone and iPad user I hope they choose iPhones but it is looking more likely to be WP8 and specifically Nokia.
Today the rep from the carrier was in with our IT guy showing him the 920 (which they cant actually supply until EE's exclusivity expires), the 820 and the new 620 which does actually go on sale until Thursday but he had two demo units.
I've seen the first two before but I was really surprised how good the 620 is.considering it is so cheap. The screen is really bright and clear, it is really, really fast and the character of the phone really suits WP.
But the other great thing is how well put together it feels. We are talking Swatch watch rather than Rolex but it feels pretty classy and, without wishing to sound too sexist, I can see women going for it over Androids.
The more I looked at it, the more I though, "Hey, Apple could do this." High quality precision moulded plastics, A4 chip, iPhone 4 screen. Only one standard model with interchangeable backs in all the iPod colours.
But Nokia have already done it.

Venture for America
But Venture for America — essentially Teach for America for aspiring entrepreneurs — is trying to change that. It's a new organization that recruits college students to work for startups and early-stage companies in low-cost cities like Detroit and New Orleans for two years. The new grads then compete for $100,000 in seed money.
VFA has big-name investors on its board, like David Tisch and Mike Katz, and its founder, Andrew Yang, recently sat down with President Obama.
Earlier this month we attended its big summer celebration in New York City, where Yang gave a presentation on his bold plans for VFA, and how he's trying to change where college students head after graduation.

When he catches and shoots without dribbling the ball, Thompson is literally the best shooter in the league. He scores 1.818 points per possession and shoots 63.6 percent on pure catch-and-shoots, better than any other player on an NBA roster.
Not bad for the 11th pick in a bad draft.

How Safe Is Your Fresh Produce?
Why Food Inspection Isn't Working
"Virtually all of these illnesses and loss of life could be prevented if the right measures were taken at each step from the farm to the table," says Michael R. Taylor, former head of the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service and a one-time deputy commissioner at the FDA. All farms, whether foreign or domestic, are encouraged to follow good agricultural practices. But here in the U.S., we have a strong sanitation infrastructure. Growers in other nations don't always operate under the same safe circumstances.
The reason meat has a better safety record than produce is not just because meat is usually cooked, thus killing pathogens. The USDA, which is responsible for meat, poultry, and egg safety, has about 7,600 inspectors covering 6,500 processing plants. By congressional mandate dating back nearly a century (for beef), the USDA is empowered to inspect every slaughtered animal and all meat as it goes through processing. And if foreign meat and poultry companies want to do business in the U.S., they must pass inspection to show that they meet the same stringent food-safety standards. The USDA can dispatch inspectors to foreign countries to ensure the rules are being followed, and it can inspect the meat again when it enters the U.S.
The FDA is charged with overseeing the safety of fresh produce. And yet it is not armed with a congressional mandate to police the imported food supply adequately. Additionally, many consumer advocates insist the agency is woefully low on resources. The FDA doesn't get as much federal money for food safety as the USDA does, says Taylor, who is currently director of the Risk, Resource, and Environmental Management Division of Resources for the Future, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. And as the amount of fruits and vegetables the U.S. imports has increased, the percentage of foreign produce inspected at the border by the FDA has actually dropped from 8 percent in 1992 to less than 2 percent now. Just 900 inspectors must cover 420,000 places where food is held, processed, or transported in the U.S. Worse, the FDA is allowed to stop shipments only at the border, which does nothing to fix the source of contamination.
When contamination is spotted, the government moves as quickly as possible to contain the problem by tracking the source of infection and seizing the food. In the Chi-Chi's case, although the scallions were obviously not stopped on their way into this country, FDA investigators were able, after the outbreak, to trace the scallions to four food growers in northern Mexico. Inspections of their fields later identified many potential contamination sources, including inadequate hand-washing facilities, lack of sanitizing systems to remove harmful germs from produce, inadequate water purification systems, and antiquated pipe systems that might have allowed seepage from sewage lines to water lines.
To stem further infections, the FDA halted shipments from these growers at the border, according to David Acheson, MD, chief medical officer for the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition in College Park, Maryland. But by then, of course, scores of people were ill. (There is a continuing import alert on scallions from these growers, which means they can be withheld from coming into the U.S. until they meet FDA standards.)
Today, FDA practices have come under the congressional spotlight, but ironically, it was a non-food-related event that put them there: the September 11th attacks and the subsequent establishment of the Department of Homeland Security. In December 2003, under the Homeland Security Act, the FDA was given more power and resources to inspect shipments at the border in order to thwart possible bioterrorist attacks. But critics say ramping up inspections at the border is too little, too late: The agency still has little sway with foreign growers and can inspect their fields only with local authorities' permission. The FDA needs to be able to go to Mexico, Guatemala, and the dozens of other countries that export produce and certify that the farms have clean water and sanitary conditions. We do it for meat and poultry, experts say, so we ought to be doing it for fruits and vegetables, too.
"By the time produce reaches the border, it's already too late," says Dr. Doyle. Although inspectors are empowered to collect samples of produce and ship them to nearby laboratories for evaluation, "The reality is that inspection isn't going to solve the food-safety problem," he says. "We need a greater presence for the FDA in the fields, and in the handling and processing areas in other countries." Only strict enforcement of more sanitary conditions on the farms can prevent these contaminations.

William H. Schlesinger '72, President of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, will provide some new ways of examining global biogoechemical cycles and assessing human impact on the cycles of important biogeochemical elements. He will focus on the ongoing, major impact to the cycles of carbon and nitrogen, and what we have learned by large-scale long-term field experiments.
Dr. Schlesinger's research investigates the link between environmental chemistry and global climate change. His recent work focuses on understanding how trees and soil influence atmospheric carbon dioxide levels Dr. Schlesinger was among the first to quantify the amount of carbon held in soil organic matter globally, providing subsequent estimates of the role of soils and human impacts on forest and soils in global climate change.

Chicago bears QB and Santa Claus native Jay Cutler made a donation about six months ago that made it possible for Camp Carson in Princeton to host their first ever children's diabetes camp.
The camp is going on right now and is the first of its kind in the Tri-State.
We first brought you this story back in December when Cutler made the donation of $25,000.
It came as a surprise to everyone. It was presented to campers and organizers when they attended a Bears game in Chicago.
It began as an idea from St. Mary's Nurse Scientist Rebecca Winsett.
She's worked with diabetes camps before in other regions and saw a need for one in southern Indiana.
She approached Camp Carson about partnering to develop the camp.
They agreed and with high hopes, Winsett, along with the director of Camp Carson set out for a Bears game, ready to pitch their idea and need for funding to Cutler.
Turns out, Jay's foundation was already committed.
They were presented the check right there on the gridiron.
Some of you might know, Jay Cutler has diabetes so his foundation often supports camps like this one.
The camp is for children ages 9 through 12 and is going on all this week.
They hope to make it annual.
More information about Camp Carson can be found here.

The Third Eye Centre acts as a companion piece and follow-up to 2005's two-disc Push Barman To Open Old Wounds, which collected Belle & Sebastian's Jeepster Record EPs from 1997 to 2001. This latest compilation captures the 2003 to 2010 period, covering non-album recordings from their time on the Rough Trade label. It's a tightly packed 19-track single disc, so a handful of...
So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band?
Khancoban. I sing and play the guitar.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like ?
We've been likened to Wilco, Belle and Sebastian, The Triffids, The Go-Betweens, Yo La Tengo.
What do you love...
The title-track from The Ladybug Transistor's new album has a sunny rhythm and a faded romantic tone, similar to Jens Lekman's music, but a little sweeter and maybe a little less distinctive. The kicking pace and earnest vocals also remind me of Belle And Sebastian, or pretty much anything from that pale pool of fey indie pop that is now almost retro. Sweet.

Bad news in the five-year-old U.S. proxy war against al-Qaida–allied Somali insurgents. Half of the U.S.-supplied weaponry that enables cash-strapped Ugandan and Burundian troops to fight Somalia's al-Shabab terror group is winding up in al-Shabab's hands.
The kicker: It's the cash-strapped Ugandans who are selling the weapons to the insurgents.
This revelation, buried in U.N. reports and highlighted by controversial war correspondent Robert Young Pelton at his new Somalia Report website, raises some unsettling questions about Washington's plans to out-source more wars in the future.
Shabab is back in the headlines, for some downright evil actions during Somalia's growing humanitarian crisis. The terror group is "blocking starving people from fleeing the country and setting up a cantonment camp where it is imprisoning displaced people who were trying to escape Shabab territory," The New York Times reports.

A perfect example of why Linux will never succeed in overtaking Windows.
Firstly, I have two monitors. One of them is HDMI and is oriented horizontally, as you would normally expect a monitor to be, the other monitor is DVI and rotated 90 degrees. When I first booted into the installer it mirrored the monitors, I was certainly happy about this! Then after the install it booted up the first time and was only displaying on the monitor that was rotated 90 degrees. I was surprised and a bit annoyed, so I opened up System Settings -> Displays *and only one monitor was listed*, there were also no rotation options.
After fumbling around for a bit I realized that the NVIDIA proprietary drivers had been installed, despite my disdain for dealing with xorg.config through NVIDIA's control panel. I was never asked if I wanted them installed and it's surprising that they just get installed by default. I was expecting Nouveau drivers to be the default, as they have been in the past.
Here is where the real problem begins.
The default xorg.conf is not parsable by the NVIDIA control panel. When I try to save my settings I get the error below.
Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!
I'm not sure I'm even capable of expressing how annoyed I am right now with Ubuntu. I realize that at least some of the blame falls on NVIDIA but why weren't the Nouveau drivers default? More importantly, why wasn't I given a choice? The NVIDIA control panel is notorious for throwing errors in everyones face.
I'm surprised, not at NVIDIA's control panel not functioning properly, because everyone expects that, but at Ubuntu for choosing the NVIDIA drivers over Nouveau, especially considering all the headlines I've been reading lately like the one below.
Nouveau open source NVIDIA driver goes stable
Ubuntu is "stylishly simple, proven, practical, easy to use," "our community welcomes new users every day," then quoting "I use Ubuntu because I need a system that is easy to set up..." Anyone with little to no experience with Linux would be immediately put off by this problem, and while this writing focuses on just one there are certainly quite a few others.
I've been using Linux since sometime in mid-2008, so I solved this problem without much hassle just to find that there is no way to setup monitor rotation without editing a text file manually. Is anyone surprised?
