I'm not a Bible scholar, nor do I know the entire Bible from cover-to-end, but I do however like to think I know the Bible pretty well. However, when it comes to the seven churches in Revelation (chapters 2 and 3), I am totally lost. I have no clue who or what the seven churches are.
I realize the seven churches were seven real churches that existed in Asia Minor during the early New Testament era. But do they still hold a message for us, today? Do they represent seven types of churches that can be found today? Or do they represent seven different ages of God's true church that can be tracked through history books?
I am lead to believe they represent seven different church ages. Ephesus is the first era, because Simon Peter tested Simon Pater (Simon Magus from Acts 8:9-24) and found the apostle to be a liar. This fulfills Ephesus prophecy. Many mistake Simon Peter as the first pope, but it was actually Simon Pater who was the first pope.
I learned the above information from David C. Pack, the pastor over the Restored Church of God. Mr. Pack teaches the church he pastors is the seventh and final church era of God's one true church. Could this be true?
The Restored Church of God is a splinter church from the Worldwide Church of God, whom Herbert W. Armstrong was pastor over. Armstrong's influence on Christian forums is phenomenal! Anytime you see someone say things like, "The Plain Truth about,..." or "The Real Truth about,..." you can bet they have been reading Mr. Armstrong's books.
Not being judgmental to this site, (maybe I am wrong) but I see lots of Mr. Armstrong's influences creeping onto the forums. "When is someone born again? What is the true gospel? Who is the true Jesus? Should we keep the Sabbath? Do the saved go to heaven? God's holy days or pagan holidays?" - all these things were preached by Mr. Armstrong, and they are still continuing to be taught online through pastors like David C. Pack. Again, not saying everyone who believes these ideas got them from the Church of God splinter churches, but I am willing to guess some people at least did. (As I know I have certainly learned a lot from pastors like Mr. Pack.)
But anyways, back to the the seven churches. Can someone tell me who they are? I am considering joining the Restored Church of God, as Mr. Pack's argument for who the seven churches are is quite good. (You can go the Restored Church of God's main website to read his book, "Where is the True Church?" for free online.)
The reason I really need to know, is because joining a church like the Restored Church of God would completely change my life. God has given me two complete chapters on the seven churches, and sadly I have no clue who the churches are. I really need to know! Can anyone please help me out?
Thank you for taking the time read all of this!
God bless you all!~

Disques Gam
by Sam Hopkins
Gam's office is filled with tapes and photos from throughout his years as a label impresario; a large, framed picture of him in the studio with Jil Jilala and friends sits right next to a black-and-white snapshot of Gam as a boy, along with his mother and baby brother.
But the Moroccan economy and Gam's fortune turned negative in the '80s. After halting new releases in 1980, Gam says 1986 to 1990 were the worst years he's been in business. Most of the relatively wealthy French expatriates who lived in Casablanca for decades had moved back across the Mediterranean by that time, as had many thousands of middle-class Jews who lived in the neighborhoods near the shop. Even so, Gam didn't shut down.
I went back and visited Gam to chat and buy some more music a few days after our first meeting, before I left on a bus to Fez. Like before, no other customers were in the shop, but there wasn't a moment I didn't see a smile on Gam's aging face. If you go to Casablanca sometime soon, you'll probably find Gam there just the same as I did—happy among his records and his memories.
Below, enjoy a mix of music picked up at Disques Gam, plus some additional photos.

January 31st, 2013Lagers
A cyclist eases along the uncluttered embankment; a couple stand contentedly at the waters edge peering towards their future; a couple of suits stroll happily in the yellowing evening light towards an ice cream van sat under the shade of a riverside tree.
So is printed the scene on every bottle of Meantime London Lager. I imagine the inky outlines slowly awakening into a perfect city portrait, rustling and rising to the cafes and bars for a peaceful drink.
The reality is more likely to be Boris bikes avoiding brisk paced briefcases and couples cringing into cameras, tensed outstretched arms aiming backwards to frame faces in front of famous skylines; seagulls, crisp packets and gust-strewn hair swirl and swoosh in an orchestrated effort to ruin the shot.
Luckily I can gaze at the winning shot hanging on the wall whilst sipping a brisk and fizzy lager, reminiscing on our recent trip to the capital (the winner was the best of a bad bunch). The creamy body, cornflake flavours and subtle lemony scent are a picture perfect beer, a long way from the stereotypical lager of crummy pubs and industrial processes. Even the bitterness feels calm and natural, light and transient like the crunch of celery.
The London Eye creeps skywards over the serene label edge. The only way to enjoy this surreal version of the city is to jump aboard; and with that I grab another bottle of this seductively crafted (and marketed) beer.Tags: lager, London, Meantime
June 19th, 2012Beer Events
The plan was to drink one beer from each team in every game of the Euros.
Of course it turned out to be a little ambitious, especially drinking four different beers on school nights. But so far we've managed to find a beer from every country in the European Championships (bar one). Our friendly local beer shop Bier Huis in Ossett imported a selection of beers in anticipation of the tournament, so we nipped down, took our fill, and then tweaked the list a little bit.
We'll have to wait for the quarter finals before confirming the beers for the big matches (along with some continental cuisine food pairings too), but here's the initial Euro 2012 beer list!
As it's the last day of the group stages there's just enough time to drink to the teams that are already out!
The Euro 2012 Beer List
Poland – Lech
Of the Polish lagers we've found Lech by far the most palatable. Avoid canned Tatra and Zubr, with their cardboard flower aromas and metallic bitterness, unless you want your head blowing off (6% and 7% respectively).
Greece – Mythos
My love affair with Mythos began on my first Greek holiday to Rhodes. Since them we've seen Halkidiki, Skopelos and Crete, and each time ice cold Mythos has cooled the long, sweltering afternoons and lubricated the early evening relaxation as we lazily get ready to go out. It doesn't work as well without the heat, but under a Grecian sun it's perfection: crisp and sweet and energy replenishing.
Or… Brinks – from the Mediterranean facing town of Rethymnon on Crete, if you're holidaying there look it up and please bring some back! (Follow the link for more Greek craft breweries).
Russia - Stary Melnik Iz Bochonka Myagkoe
In a similar bottle to Modelo and not a million miles from a soft South American lager, Stary Melnik Iz Bochonka Myagkoe (which translates something like Old Miller Barrel Mild Beer) is smooth like Corona. Was that a touch of Crunchie bar in the aroma? Easy as hell to drink, it may not be memorable, but it is thirst quenching.
Or… Go left field with a Russian Imperial Stout – St Petersburg by Thornbridge is a creamy hop 'n' chocolate cuddle, but watch out for its boozy wild side. From Derbyshire with love. Alternatively Kernel Imperial Stout is a coal-infused treacle of hops, chocolate and complexity.
Czech – Bohemia Regent Tmavý Ležák 12°
A creamy dark lager with dried fruit aroma and a roasted peanut character, complete with typical bitter finish.
Or… Kozel Cerny, widely available in the UK, another example of adark roasted pilsner. For real Czech heritage there's also the original Czech lager, that of Pilsner Urquell. Sprightly Saaz hops keep it freshly flavoured, but don't rush a pint of it (big bubbles!)
Netherlands – La Trappe Witte
Bier Huis' recommendation for the Netherlands is La Trappe Witte from the only Trappist brewery outside of Belgium. Not only that, but it's the only Trappist white beer in the world. And it's unfiltered! And bottle fermented!! Aromatic, and a self proclaimed quencher of monks thirst.
Or… for something entirely different, try De Molen Rook & Vuur, a dark whisky scarred concoction, stirring images of dirty raspberries smouldering on a pile of ash, peppered with hot chillies. A lot more interesting the Dutch football this year. Or for something a little racier, T'ij IPA is a crude India pale ale in look and taste. Herbs, resin and bittersweet – Amsterdam inspired?!
Denmark – Mikkeller Ricemarket
The Damian Hirst of brewing, Denmark's most famous gypsy brewer has smashed the taxonomic boundaries of the beer world into smithereens, and left behind a trail of brews to get excited (and poor) over. Ricemarket is made with ginger and honey but starts with an herbaceous lemon grass aroma and ends with blushes of apples. Somehow the sweet and fiery elements of the main ingredients blend into something subtler than the sum of the parts.
Or… For something darker there's Carlsberg Carmegie Stark Porter – drink fresh for wallops of dried fruits and chocolate and a speculative dash of tangy molasses.
Germany – Helles Schlenkerla Lagerbier
On numerous occasions we've heard people whoop as a glass of 'bacon beer' is passed around a packed bar. That's Schlenkerla Rauchbier, the famous German smoked beer. Helles Schlenkerla Lagerbier is a lighter style but also uses smoked malt and each sip reminds me of the embers of a cub scout fire that I tried picking up with bare hands circa 1993. Crisp and dry but bright and golden, and not remotely carcinogenic.
Or… Weinhenstephaner Hefe Weissebier is a German classic, whilst Schneider Aventinus is a connoisseur's choice. For pure liquid gold though, nothing beats a clean, crisp Jever.
Portugal – Superbock Green
Best served alongside homemade piri piri chicken and rice, Superbock is a citrus twist on one of Portugal's most ubiquitous lagers. It's a maltier Sol and lime or cloudy lemonade shandy and fits the bill on a warm evening with a chilli-seasoned meal.
Or… For a more traditional beer Sagres if another popular Portuguese lager. Better still get some Fonseca Port Bin 27, a boozy throat warmer rich in dark red fruit. Small glasses, please.
Spain – Cruzcampo
Cruzcampo must've gone down well at Bier Huis as the shelf was empty on arrival. Zak Avery swears by this as a holiday beer and we don't disagree.
Or… Should Spain need as many beers as they need passes to score we can always fall back on San Miguel, well stocked at the local supermarket and corner shop. For something more interesting though, we'll head further afield and pick up some Alhambra Negra (5.4%) a dark ruby trickster hiding a roasted coffee bean streak.
Italy – Tipopils
If I could give one recommendation to a dying man with a passion for good beer and just one pint left, Jever would be high on the list. But that was before we tried Tipopils, one of the most delicately smooth and zesty pilsners we've ever tried.
Or… My Antonia is a rich Italian-American hybrid showcasing a sherbety sweet aroma and rich cheesecake body. Failing that the supermarkets already stock one of Italy's finest in Peroni Gran Riserva, a dark, munchier beer that's perfect with good pizza.
Ireland – Porterhouse An Brainblásta
The Irish beers pack lots of punch, but you'll have to take Phil Hardy's word on Brainblásta.
Or… We instead opted for Guinness Foreign Extra. This is Guinness with gusto, a treacly brew with hints of morello cherry atop buckets of roasted malt. Will leave your glass sticky after just a sip or two.
Croatia – ???
Unfortunately Bier Huis informed us that Croatian beer wasn't on the menu (not available in the UK). Instead their Facebook fans voted in Bandidos Tequila beer from nearby Slovenia. Slovenian Desperados wasn't for us (snobs that we are!) so, just like Slaven Billic's charges, Croatia are out. (Please let us know if you do find some Croatian beer in the UK!)
Ukraine – Obolon Light
We've saved our Ukranian beer for tonight's Group D finale in the hope that we can drink to England's success. Tasting notes to follow, but hopefully we won't be ordering any more Obolon (*cue smily face*). Should England get unlucky, Beers of Europe have a Ukranian section ready and waiting to be raided, with the dunkel style Obolon Deep Velvet top of our list.
Sweden – Nils Oscar Coffee Stout
Nils Oscar God Lager was recommended to us by the lovely staff at Beer Ritz Leeds. Its brother, Nils Oscar Coffee Stout is our nightcap as we wave bye bye to the Swedes tonight.
Or... Crocodile Lager, a smooth and not too bloating (but unexciting) lager. Continuing the Nils Oscar theme, we recommend Nils Oscar Ctrl Alt Delete, for the name alone. A Swedish take on altbier that we can't wait to try.
France – Pelforth Blonde
In small 25cl bottles Pelforth Blonde makes a good beer for the summer, easy to chill and perfect for the back garden. Sweeter than a stubby and with much more taste, it's cute branding and refreshing style make it hard not to like.
Or… In imposing 75cl bottles Trois Monts (St Sylvestre 3 Months) has a fresh vinous nose, dough like body, peppered with herbaceous notes and zesty hops. It's a joy, and even though refreshing, not as much as a similarly large bottle of real Normandy cider brought back from a small homestead in the north of France by a friend. If you can get it, is a joy.
England – York Brideshead
England can nail a place in the quarter finals tonight (c'mon, believe!), and Bier Huis will be drinking York Brideshead, a beer with a name synonymous with English TV.
But… instead we'll be heading back to our roots, and as England progress (!) we plan to go back to our old favourites. First up will be Hooky Gold, a light, bright and zesty Oxfordshire ale, widely available in beer shops and supermarkets; followed with Old Hooky, a beery piece of nana's fruitcake, and from the brewery we grew up just a few miles away from.
So cheers, and here's to an update when we know the quarter final draw in it's entirety!

May 24th, 2012Beer and travel
Let's be frank, I'm not brilliant at getting drunk.
It's not that I'm a bad drunk per se, but since my uni days my tolerance has faded and I'm much better suited to a lazy pub garden or the frantic but well partitioned boozing of a hot festival day.
So, the morning after the night before, eating pizza along the tramlines of Munich, Stag Day 2 of 3, the first beer is an inevitable mistake. The 12 o'clock rule is in force, but at this moment I'm still trying to capture the final moments of last night, which are seemingly lost to a cerebal rewiring courtesy of Jagermeister and pils.
München is a city of myriad greys, criss crossed by tracks, streets and wires, punctuated by the greens of large municipal gardens. The hostels spill out into the streets, huge brick buildings of tiny square windows – each as easily an old warehouse as a former prison – with central courtyards full of slamming lockers and hi-fiving youths.
We'd arrived too late at the Hofbräuhaus, so rather than dance on tables with steins, we found ourselves chatting over Bundesliga in a pub circled around a strong, twisted, plastic tree. The landlord was decidedly Brothers Grimm but jovially threw foaming beer at us until we staggered home.
Back at the hostel Jagers send us to bed, and so, the next morning, with little breakfast and hayfever tablets at the ready, the first beer by the tram line gone, I'm feeling a little light-headed as we reach the Englischer Garten for an afternoon of large lagers and a boiling hot sun.
The whole of the city seems to have congregated in the squares and tree lined routes to the park, stereotypical German efficiency cast aside for an opportunity to feel the sun on skin and drink buckets of beer all day. Surfers on shuffle along Munich's rapids, ice creams everywhere, the nudist meadow seeing an uplift in footfall.
Twelve English twentysomethings don't look out of place – not in the Englischer Garten, not in the clubs later that night, nor on a pilgrimage to the Allianz Arena the next day. Munich could be Manchester, Germany could be England, the workers flocking to the public squares on the first sunny day of the year, to drink lager, dress down and play Wembley in the park.
And galvanised under the German sunshine, it's time to begin the turbulence of stag do laughter and merriment that ensues.Tags: binge drinking, drinking, germany, lager, munich, summer

The bar is busy. The tables are full. The backroom is heaving and buoyant.
Welcome to the Sebright Arms, dimly light and vivacious.
We arrive from Soho at the fading of a sun drenched afternoon – four pubs, six pints, four hours.
Three and a half miles later, bellies demanding meat and bread and barley, we bundle over the threshold. A table is found, pale beers ordered, burger menus devoured by hungry eyes.
It's a young crowd, an old crowd. It's a quiet crowd and a rowdy crowd. Some here for the pub, some hunting out the resident Lucky Chip pop up kitchen.
Smokers tarnish the air outside, drinkers slop beer inside. The buzz is accentuated by beer (it's a thin line between that and a booze buffer between the world and our senses, perhaps?)
The burgers perspire garnish, pint glasses soon sticky with the sweat of carnivorous satisfaction. And boy they taste good!
Another beer? Of course! The night is young, and the Sebright Arms is only just getting started.Tags: Beer and Food, binge drinking, Burgers, lager
February 16th, 2012Beer Reviews, Lagers
Deep in a basement bar not far from Bohemia, the cerny pilsners of the brewery up the road changed my perception of lager. Sweet and rich but surprisingly light, they distributed refreshment and nutrition as if feeding me and five thousand other thirsty drinkers.
Meantime Union shares a similar contradiction. Broody and brown, this is is no pale bodied pushover. Lagered it is, and a tad metallic to boot, coupled with a dark caramel composition and a surprisingly roasted finish suggesting mustard seeds, honey-soaked biscuits and bitter Bourneville.
Union shares the creaminess of some of the golden pilsners that stole a march onn Vienna style lagers many years ago.
It's enigmatic to say the least. Coloured like a bitter, tastes like a bitter, but brisker, bolder, livelier. It's interesting, ebbing and flowing between it's different elements, but it's hard to see how it would fit into my everyday drinking.
Except for with pizza. Michael Jackson recommended amber beers with pizza and at a basic level this shares many facets – creamy texture, bitterness, effervescent, mouthfilling malt and sweet roasted finish.
So being under £2, being under 5%, and offering refreshment, intrigue and solace, this is one beer that will be on the shopping list alongside doughballs and garlic bread.

Vienna style beers have a special place in my heart as I once named a Vienna influenced beer. Thornbridge Equinox was a one off 'Vienna IPA', so a little different from the copper coloured lagers of continental Europe, but I only ever got to try one pint of it. I'd love to try it again one day!
July 21st, 2011Beer Reviews, Lagers
Admittedly I didn't do my research on Cubanero Fuerte. It made a perfect birthday present for my brother, who having visited Cuba a few years ago, has become quite the fan.* So, in the process of buying him a few bottles I of course dropped a few on my side of the beer carrier and popped them in the fridge for a sunny day (yeah, optimistic I know).
For some reason I was expecting something more than a bog standard lager. Perhaps I was somehow charmed by the Jack Sparrow wannabe on the bottle and some sense of hidden treasure and adventure. So with that ever-present hope that every long suffering football fan will recognise I waded straight in.
And it turns out that Cubanero Fuerte is quite the bog standard lager. I mean, it's not bog standard enough that I wouldn't drink it (I surely would served cold on a hot day or in a hot bar) but it's pretty bog standard. No hidden treasure.
It's pale. Marketers would describe it as golden but that's marketers for you, always selling the dream. There's more gold in an Elizabeth Duke catalogue. It comes complete with a touch of roasted cereal but it doesn't have quite enough earthy vigour to hide the sugary, corn syrup and metallic-like twangs that stand out like the green marks on a cheap ring finger. Surprisingly there is just a touch of actual hop flavour to tempt you further down the bottle. Well, compared to some lagers, that is…
The Bucanero might not be my cup of tea but I won't turn him down in a moment of need. This is my brother's Mythos after all, and that's something worth sharing.

*In Cuba, and the rest of the World, Cubanero is actually Bucanero (the picture make more sense now, yeah?!). Apparently copyright prevents it's sale under it's real name, which is a shame. Anyone know what copyright this is?
November 6th, 2010Comment, Pubs & bars
There's a week in autumn when suddenly the weather takes over the UK. The beautiful yellow, orange and golden leaves are washed from their trees by cats-and-dogs rain and violent winds. The rain thrashes down on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. This week was such a week.
But a gathering storm wouldn't put the British off burning Guy Fawkes at the stake.
There's something primeval about Bonfire Night; communities clubbing together everything they can find that is 1) of no use or value and 2) slightly flammable. The roads come to a stand still as normal people with centrally-heated houses rush to cold, wet, muddy fields to stand around a huge fire eating hot dogs.
And it's generally brilliant.
This year we avoided the throngs of people who descended on Roundhay Park in Leeds (the twenty-something curmudgeons we are meant that we couldn't face 70,000 people and the dogfight for parking).
So off to the local rugby club (union not league which is a story in itself in these parts). A juicy burger fresh from the griddle, candy floss, bouncy castles and merriment. An ice cold beer, well deserved after a torrential week in terms of weather and workload.
Under the creaking terrace, crammed in like sardines, we sat back and enjoyed the pyrotastic delights, craning necks to see the rockets and bangers that shot so high that those clammering at the back of the stand couldn't see for the overhanging roof.
And then to the lounge bar: pies and peas, salt & vinegar, reminiscing, joking, betting on the weekend's X Factor and admiring the sports stars of the local team during years gone by. More perfect, wonderful pints of Fosters served in plastic glasses that burned our fingers with cold condensation. The table is littered in the carrion of good time, remnants of a pint of Wainwright's, and a plastic cup of rosé, chips and gravy for sharing.
The magic of Roundhay Park? No thank you, the magic of the local community on Bonfire Night thank you very much.Tags: bonfire night, community, fireworks, fosters, lager

Just what beer do you take to a summer music festival?
With Glastonbury only a few days away there's a big supermarket trip around the corner to stock up on all the liquid lunches we'll be needing over the 5 days we spend wallowing in mud, Carlsberg cans and the reverberation of thumping speakers.
But what is the perfect festival beer?
At Glastonbury you can take what you want. Unlike other festivals, once you're in, you're in, and you may freely waltz around with your chosen tipple without fear of eviction. Last year one chap had 3 cans of Stella strapped to each limb with duck tape. He was never without a beer.
The perfect drink has to be light. Multiple car trips are not good so you need to be able to pack it in a rucksack, pop it under your arm or balance it on your head for the long walk from car park to chosen pitching ground.
The perfect drink has to be refreshing. If the sun comes out it needs to revive; if the mud rises up it needs to make you feel fighting fit to grapple through the bodies and lost wellies.
This enigmatic tipple mustn't be too strong. No-one wants to miss the single unmissable act of the day, not drink too much and earn themselves an early retirement to the tent. You want to be up from 11am until 4am, with perhaps a mid afternoon nap in a quiet folk tent near the tippees.
You need to be able to drink all day and never feel under the weather.
And this magic beer (or other alternative beverage) must be passable, nay even enjoyable when warm. In a perfect world it will chill quickly too and never warm up, if nature or some fancy technology (aka cool box) gives you the opportunity.
We could try lager. Widely available in lightweight cans of various strengths. It's refreshing when hot which ticks an important box, but crucially though, it's a bit rubbish when not ice cold.
So in case of warm conditions perhaps we should take some ale. Bottled conditioned is an absolute no-no, and even simply bottles are a bad idea. Stone's Bitter or Tanglefoot anyone? A choice between garish orange or red, unless you want to risk Smoothflow, of course.
Then there's the alternative solution, cider. Before you conjure images of vagrants and teenagers on a park bench, just remember the criteria.
Not too strong.
Easy to carry.
Drinkable warm.
Suddenly Strongbow seems more appealing than ever…Tags: Ale, beer, Cider, festival, glastonbury, lager, summer

A couple of months ago during one of the 30+ hours I spend online each week , a little pop-up window asked me if I'd like to take part in a survey. I knew straight away it was advertising related and, working in the business of developing online advertising strategy, I'm always intrigued to take these surveys and gain a little insight into how other companies are tracking the branding effects of their digital marketing activities.
This one just so happened to be beer related therefore being of interest to more than just the day job. Specifically it was about lager brands, and asked my thoughts on five of the leading names and their recent advertising.

Last week saw a host of articles on lager, CAMRA and why the two don't always have a harmonious relationship (see articles by Barm, Mark Dredge, Woolpack Dave, Tandleman & The Guardian).
The same week r' Sam couldn't quite work out if William's Brothers Grozet was a lager or a beer, with conflicting online reviews and it being deceptively lager like for an ale.
It's fitting that the lager debate and lots of lager chat surfaced on the week we unearthed a parody of our sites, real-lager-reviews.com, and actually the Guardian article that kicked much of this off was one of the ways we cottoned onto our spoofers (thanks to an innocuous comment on there by the Real Lager Reviews lads).
It seems the question of lager brings up some awkward discussions. CAMRA clearly don't associate themselves with CO2, which rules out a lot of lagers, but it doesn't fundamentally rule out lager per se.
Which leads us to what is a lager: what it is and why is it different? Read the rest of this entry »Tags: beer festival, beer writing, CAMRA, lager, saltaire, serving

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A big jump in Minnesota's minimum wage could be on the horizon.
Among the priority bills in the Democratic-controlled Legislature is a proposal to raise the floor wage to $7.50 for most workers at the bottom rung beginning in August.
That's $1.35 more than the current hourly minimum that large employers must pay their employers. Smaller businesses, as defined by their annual sales, pay a lower rate but that would rise as well.
The bill introduced in the state Senate goes further by making future increases automatic and linked to inflation. The minimum wage last went up in 2005.
Many minimum-wage workers in Minnesota automatically receive the higher federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, although some workers such as babysitters, taxi drivers, nonprofit volunteers and others are exempt.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Chris Christie is headed to
the Jersey shore for his first day back at work after a week's vacation.
Christie will make an afternoon stop in Asbury Park to promote tourism and
talk about the importance of maintaining clean beaches.
Christie will then get ready to head to Tampa, Fla., where he'll give the
keynote address at the Republican National Convention a week from Tuesday.
The governor spent part of last week working on the speech.
The first-term governor has won praise for making public workers pay more for
their benefits and making it harder for teachers to get and keep tenure.
However, the state's unemployment rate is at a 35-year high and tax
collections have not been meeting the administration's

did you know??If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb!(Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.(O.M.G.!)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death! (That's just creepy...)(I'm still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour(Don't try this at home, maybe at school)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?!)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet.(Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.(Hmmmmmm......)
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.(Okay, so that would be a good thing..?)
A cat's urine glows under a black light.(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.(I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains.(I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed.(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.(What about that pig??)

When presented with stylish clothes, women are known to get overly excited quickly and in many cases, their enthusiasm is not entirely justified. The hype that surrounds the seamless shape wear is the exception that confirms the rule, because this is really one-of-a-kind garment. There are two things that its creators had in mind, and their concern for comfort and good looks is obvious even for those who are not particularly familiar with the intricacies of women's underwear.
The Best Bra looks very similar to its regular counterpart, but there are certain elements that make it distinctive and raise pertinent questions. The use of molded foam cups is obvious, but the adjustable straps that feature no back bands or closures are the ones that will draw more attention. Their role is to eliminate entirely the unaesthetic back bulges that women desperately try to hide, as well as the visible bra lines that are equally unappealing.
The best body shaper can take different forms and depending upon the type of support that the one wearing it expects, the garment can ensure tummy control and back smoothing. Breast shaping is something that women are entitled to expect from this kind of shape wear, and the undergarment delivers it alongside proper support and lifting. Whether they choose to wear it under sleeveless tops or under sporty outfits, women can count on it to support their assets and make them look slim. It looks like the hype is entirely justified and given the benefits of these garments, their success is guaranteed.

Very disappointed about not receiving TIGER V grant funds. However, efforts will continue in pushing ODOT and the state to find the funds to improve the fishhook. Senator George is 100% behind these efforts as he as well as many others realize that freight traffic will be greatly impacted by having to stop, make a left turn and then climb a curving onramp. I have faith that we will find the funds to address this entry issue for trucks.
I feel the biggest loss we suffered from not receiving the grant was a multi-purpose trail ODOT committed to building along the Bypass if we received the grant. That trail may still happen but funds likely won't come from ODOT or USDOT. If the trail along the Bypass is not built that will be a great loss to the citizens of Newberg and Dundee.

After watching Shottas the movie, I wanted to produce a mini-movie that tells the tale of a hustler living in the states. This movie will have an excellent plot, action, suspense, and enough comedy to keep you at the edge of your seat. This movie will require about 20 - 30 people, and I hope to release it under the afro punk label when completed. So if you're interested in venturing into this project with me, please let me know.
Views: 64
I appreciate the response. I'll will definitely post more information about it within the next few weeks. It's going to be good.
Keep me posted. I'm a fan of the film and your project sounds interesting. I will support in whatever way possible.

The record for the lowest 18-hole score in an official PGA Tour round is 59. This score has been posted six times in tour history. Here are the golfers who've shot 59 in a PGA Tour event:
Al Geiberger: 1977 Memphis Classic (29-30), Colonial Country Club (par 72)
Geiberger was the first to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour, and it happened in the second round. He went on to win the tournament, but his other three rounds were 72, 72 and 70. He is the only golfer in the modern era of the PGA Tour to win a tournament (outside of the majors) without a round in the 60s.
Chip Beck: 1991 Las Vegas Invitational (30-29), Sunrise Golf Club (par 72)
Beck's 59 happened in the third round. He finished tied for third place.
David Duval: 1999 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (31-28), PGA West (Palmer Course) (par 72)
Duval's 59 was in the final round, and it included an eagle on the final hole. After beginning the final round seven shots off the lead, Duval's 59 and final-hole eagle gave him a 1-stroke victory.
Paul Goydos: 2010 John Deere Classic (31-28), TPC Deere Run (par 71)
Goydos' 59 happened in the second round, and he finished the tournament tied for second place.
Stuart Appleby: 2010 Greenbrier Classic (28-31), The Old White Course (par 70)
Appleby's 59 happened in the final round and he won the tournament by one stroke.
Jim Furyk: 2013 BMW Championship (31-28), Conway Farms Golf Club (par-71)
Furyk's 59 came in the second round. He finished in third place.
Geiberger, Duval and Appleby won the tournaments in which they shot 59; Beck, Goydos and Furyk did not.
Geiberger and Goydos shot their 59s under lift, clean and place conditions.
Geiberger, Beck and Duval's 59s were 13-under par scores; Goydos and Furyk were 12-under par; Appleby was 11-under par.

Hi every one,
I'm building Flash Lite app which have many files, because of that it installs take up to 30 min. If I combine data files into 1 or 2 zip files then install process is much quicker. Is there any way to do unzip from flash lite. I know that kunery can but they don't sell any commercial package any more. Is there any other third party solution for that? Or is there any way to unzip it after install calling somehow unzip from sis file?

This is my second fan post. Much to my surprise, my first went really well so I'm trying this again. Actually, this is three posts in one so maybe this is three times the value for your fanpost dollar. I actually started this in November (more on that in a second) but then waited and then procrastinated. Would you believe I actually desired at one point to try to apply to write some of the front page articles? What a dreamer. Anyhow, I got to thinking about this again over a month ago when the MLB schedules started to tighten up but felt like waiting to see if someone would jump on it first.
Who's traveling this summer? Are you planning on seeing the A's play anywhere other than Oakland? I actually was just really curious if anyone had planned out a trip for themselves and wanted to hear about it, maybe even ask some questions. Specifically, was anyone checking out Chicago and/or St. Louis in June? Part of me wanted to offer some wager to see who'd go to more A's games NOT in Oakland, but that's really just a bet to be won by an A's fan in say, Chicago, where they'd be a couple of hours driving distance to several cities the A's would play several series in. In 2004 it was loads of fun to see all the other A's fans in Chicago for the series against the Cubs, and I really want to go back this year. (off topic: when the discussion about the A's new home invariably comes to wondering if it's better or not to have a community with restaurants and bars and whatnot around a baseball stadium, it's almost no more glaring what the answer should be after you spend about a day in Wrigleyville) I guess what I hoped was to let someone know that if they're traveling to Dallas the last weekend in July that someone here would be interested in a story with pictures.
I also of course wanted to babble about my own plans, but figured I'd offer you guys up first and then I could pretend I was really interested in other's stories. Like I said, I started writing this in November and looking at it now it just seems silly. So, I'm truncating it in the most severe manner. I started reading what I had written and wasn't nearly as enthusiastic about reading it now as I was then.
I went to the HOF last summer to see Rickey get inducted and while I've witnessed some awfully interesting and wonderful A's moments, this is easily the topper. I told all my friends we had to go - and if there was one reason it's that we really just don't know the next time an A's player will get inducted. In fact, I'm in the boat with those that think that whoever is the next player the A's do get into the HOF isn't currently in their system. For that matter, he might not have even entered high school. In other words, it's so far off in the future that's almost pointless to pretend we'll get another chance at this.
Because of that, this is totally a once-in-a-lifetime kind of deal. The trip itself was an epic worthy of several posts and being in Cooperstown that weekend is really something else. You get to see your favorite player ever ever ever deseveredly go into the HOF, you get to see Pete Rose sit by himself (well, he had some other person there with him) and you get to see a small town try to contain itself. One of the things that I found so fantastic about it was the limit to the intrustive authority. The police weren't lining the streets or barricading the neighborhoods. It felt really homey in a weird sort of way. I can't recall another time where umpteenthousands of people got together and there wasn't at least one person to yell at me, "You can't go over there! Stand behind the line!" To put that in perspective, I went to a comedy show in December and no less than 3 people had to tell me where to park in the parking lot. Where they weren't charging for parking. And two of them felt the need to play MAGNANIMOUS JERK when they allowed me to park there. They weren't charging for parking and the lot wasn't half full at best, but if one was going to the comedy show, they parked in this part of the lot, if they were going to restaurant, they parked in this part, and you start to the get the picture. None of that in Cooperstown - at least none of that for the pedestrian.
And I have to offer proof not only of my existence, but also that I existed in Cooperstown. It's also, subtely, proof that my friends flaked on the trip and missed out.
Also, I just learned something. If you're using notepad to write your post before pasting it into the webpage, turn word wrap OFF.

LAS VEGAS - A local couple who filed their income taxes eight months ago are still waiting for their refund check. Irritated with the long wait, they contacted 8 on Your Side which uncovered a bigger problem.
Tulia Lonardo crochets holiday gifts for her loved ones every year. It's an affordable alternative to buying gifts. Saving money is very important to Tulia and her husband Vito.
This couple has been waiting for a $2,740 tax refund for months. They filed in March with a certified public accountant. They requested an electronic refund check, but eight months later, they still don't have the money.
"In the meantime, I struggle to pay for groceries," Tulia said.
Desperate, they turned to 8 on Your Side for help. 8 News NOW spoke with the IRS to try and resolve the matter. Instead of getting the Lonardos their cash, 8 on Your Side uncovered a much bigger problem.
"Somebody filed before we did under my husband's Social Security number," Tulia said.
Vito's identity had been stolen. Neither his accountant nor the IRS bothered to tell him. "That's not right," Vito said.
No one had to tell them according to Gregory Smith with the attorney general's office. "It's on the individual to protect their I.D.," he said.
Smith says the tax preparer was under no obligation to let the Lonardos know this happened.
8 on Your Side stepped in to help – getting the IRS to flag the Lonardos' tax return.
"They are working on it, and it's going to take probably another 100 days," Tulia said. That means they might not see their refund until next year.
In the meantime, they're cutting back - growing food and raising chickens in their yard. They are also still working to get Vito's stolen identity back.
8 on Your Side put the Lonardos in touch with the attorney general's office, the Social Security Administration and the local police to file the necessary reports to reclaim Vito's identity.
If you have a consumer complaint you want investigated, contact 8 on Your Side at 650-1907 or email us.

Truth-O-Meter report card on Kay Bailey Hutchison
Published on Friday, January 14th, 2011 at 12:00 p.m.
Drumroll, please: U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison will not seek re-election in 2012.
"When my current term is up, I will have served Texas for 19 years in the United States Senate," she said in a Jan. 13 letter announcing that she won't run again in 2012.
Amid speculation about who'll seek the to-be-available seat — including Hutchison, who has changed her mind about not running for re-election before — we look back at how she's fared against the Truth-O-Meter.
The Gentlelady from Texas has earned three Trues, most recently in April, after she blasted a budget request President Barack Obama sent to Congress that effectively dashed hopes of funding additional space shuttle flights after the last mission now slated for April. In a March press release, Hutchison, the ranking member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, said: "If the space shuttle program is terminated, Russia and China will be the only nations in the world with the capability to launch humans into space."
Hutchison has made mostly-truthful statements on a couple occasions, too. During her unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign, she blasted Gov. Rick Perry for misspending, saying in a February radio ad he "spent over a million dollars on D.C. lobbyists asking for more federal money and lives in a luxury house that costs taxpayers $10,000 a month. We rated that Mostly True: State offices controlled by Perry or his appointees spent more than $1 million on Washington lobbyists, and his monthly rent is $9,000.
She also has four Half Trues to her name. In a Nov. 22 op-ed piece in the Austin American-Statesman, Hutchison said: "It has been reported that, on average, Democratic congressional districts received 81 percent more stimulus funds than Republican districts." Hutchison accurately cited a study of stimulus spending by a senior research fellow at George Mason University's Mercatus Center. However, the study's methodology was criticized because it ignored the fact that huge amounts of stimulus funds were flowing through state capitals, skewing the study's results. After excluding state capitals from the analysis, the researcher found that Democratic districts on average received only 29 percent more stimulus funds than GOP districts.
Hutchison's December 2009 claim that she "quadrupled agents to secure our border" earned her one of two Barely Trues. While she has advocated increasing border agents, being one of 100 senators, she didn't personally quadruple anything.
In her note to constituents, Hutchison says that one of the reasons she stayed in office was to fight "the government takeover of our health care system." In a November 2009 TV ad, she landed one of her four False ratings for saying "everything about (the health care law) is going to raise costs, raise taxes and lower the quality of health care." The Senate's version of the health care legislation was projected to increases costs at the onset and increase taxes, but it was also supposed to slow long-term federal spending.
Lastly, another laurel Hutchison can add to her two-decade tenure?
No Pants on Fire!
There's plenty of time for more ratings, though. Hutchison said she's going to serve out her term, which extends through 2012.

As you learned in my previous post on Orange Memories, I was a drummer. And forgive me, but the actual dates involved here have long since disappeared from my mind. I even Googled it, and got nothing, so let's just call it mid to late 1980's. That makes me under 18.
My father had told me of a clinic coming to town featuring Max Weinberg, from E. Street Band fame. Keep in mind, this is pre-Conan. We're talking "Born in the USA" era here. I couldn't have been less interested about that, as I was a Metal-head, and quite honestly still hate Bruce's music. But a clinic is special. For those of you who do not know, a clinic is a get together where a musician plays alone for the most part, in front of other drummers, or whatever other instrument said person plays. They take questions, tell their story, teach you how they do things, meet and greet, etc. This was a clinic I would go to based on Max being a great drummer, not for the crap he was playing with Jersey boy.
The clinic was held at the Schine Student Center on campus. And if my memory serves me right, there was a club or bar inside? It was to be an over 18 affair. Upon deciding to go, my father had called ahead and spoke to someone about me getting in. Under the circumstances of being with a parent, and my father's convincing them that they were going to have problems with young drummers all over town wanting to go, they said okay. We would be on a list at the door.
I know you all know what comes next. It's the same old story, with the same old set-up. They wouldn't let me in. There wasn't a list. No one had our names. After much discussion, and pleading with people at the door, we began walking out. Now I don't know exactly what we were saying to each other, but the combination of that and our low hanging heads led to my magical, Orange Hero moment.
A 6'6", 252 lb. young man (We knew who it was, but I'll drag it out to build suspense in my piece) stopped us to ask what was going on, having overheard whatever we were saying. We gave him the story, and he put his hand on my shoulder and said "Come with me". Maybe there is something to be said about the old cliché "big man on campus". He led us back to the door told the person there that we were with him, and we walked right in. Then he rode off on his white stallion, in slow motion, and to a swell of orchestral music after saving the day. Well, not really. But he did just turn around and leave. He was Pat Kelly, TE. And even though I had always been a fan of his all along, I always felt a little more of a special connection with him watching him play after this happened.
By the way, the clinic was awesome, and at the time had taught me a lot. I was a hard rock / metal drummer, but some of the things I learned that night really helped me out on the jazz styles that I had to suffer through in school. I have been to clinics for Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater fame, and Chester Thompson of Genesis. Max's was right up there.
Pat was a great tight end at Syracuse. Pat caught the TD pass that allowed the opportunity for the two-point conversion to beat WVU in 1987.He was in the NFL for a short time with both the Broncos and the Jets. In 2002, after being diagnosed with cancer, Pat was given the Zunic award at the Carrier Dome. The award is given to someone who exemplifies courage, self-sacrifice and spirit.
Pat Kelly passed on March 28, 2003. He will always be one of my favorite players, for more reasons than one.

EDGEMONT, S.D. (AP) - A wildfire that scorched nearly 9,000 acres in southwest South Dakota is now 95% contained, and some firefighters who battled the blaze are being dispatched to other Western fires.
More than 400 firefighters fought the White Draw Fire near Edgemont. Last Sunday, a C-130 air tanker crashed, killing 4 of the six crew members from a North Carolina National Guard unit.
The fire danger in the region is still high, and officials are urging members of the public to continue being cautious.

The NHL season will start Jan. 19, with the New York Rangers and Islanders likely to find out their full schedule within the next two days and start training camps within a week.
Negotiations have stalled yet again after it seemed like a resolution was near. Now it's back to square one.
Despite commissioner Gary Bettman's suggestion to take a two-week break from negotiations, the two sides will get together.
The fact that negotiations will resume and neither side has released much information is a good sign that negotiations are serious.
There's a sliver of optimism as the league has reportedly made concessions on its make-whole provision.
We once lived in a world where the New York Mets were more popular than the New York Yankees, where cigarette smoke filled restaurants, bars and airplanes (and we liked it), where O.J. Simpson made...
The NHL on Friday canceled games through Nov. 30. The two sides don't have any meetings scheduled and it looks as if this lockout could get uglier before it gets any better.
Paul Grant at ESPN.com ranked some of the NHL's worst contracts, and it's no shock that New York Islanders goaltender Rick DiPietro made the list.
The New York Islanders will move to Barclays Center in 2015. The team signed a 25-year lease in Brooklyn.
The New York Islanders won't be changing names anytime soon.
The Islanders won't fit their name for much longer, as the team is reportedly moving from Uniondale to Brooklyn in 2015.
With no talks scheduled and a league-imposed Oct. 25 deadline to save the full season, it's looking likely that at a minimum there will be a shortened campaign, if there's one at all.
Commissioner Gary Bettman and the owners on Tuesday made a proposal to the Players' Association that would preserve the 82-game season and calls for a 50-50 split in hockey-related revenue. The...
The NHL and Players' Association are due to meet Tuesday and could begin to moving toward the main issues. Plus, updates on the New York-area local players in Europe and AHL.
The NHL canceled the first two weeks of the regular season, as a new CBA agreement between the owners and NHLPA remains far from completion.
With the lockout already over two weeks old, many of the locals have gone to Europe to play and some of the younger players have been sent to the minors. We take a look at who is where.
The NHL released its 2012 national television schedule Thursday morning as if this offseason was just like any other. But one huge caveat remains: There's still no guarantee the 2012-13 season will...

My husband and I were looking for a special place to stay the night we got married. I loved the pictures on the website of the Haven room and the price was well within our budget so I decided on the Black Forest B&B. Even though we arrived late we were greeted at the door and given a personal escort to our room. The room was so homey and pretty-a perfect "home away from home" for our first night of marriage. Breakfast the next morning was cinnamon rolls (still warm and looked homemade), fruit, and yogurt. I would definitely consider staying at the Black Forest B&B again!

I needed this vacation! Let me tell you this place was amazing! this was a family trip and I don't know who enjoyed it more, myself or my family. Anyways we all had a blast. One of the best trips I have ever took with my family.

We had a wonderful vacation thanks to our wonderful hosts and their family. We took our boys on various outings in the mountains during the week and they really enjoyed it. It was so nice to have such a relaxing place to return to at night instead of the usual hotel room. We will recommend this B&B to all of our friends and family.

Two weeks ago the Waldo Canyon Fire caused thousands of people to be displaced from their homes in the Colorado Springs, Colorado region. As one of those evacuees, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to a local business and individual that provided safe haven for several families, including myself, during those extraordinary circumstances. Susan Wilson, independent owner/operator of the Black Forest Bed and Breakfast, Lodge and Cabins was inundated with calls, tears and cars as people searched frantically for someplace safe to stay with their children, pets and possessions during the first week of the fire. Susan went above and beyond to accommodate and provide respite for seven thankful families during their time of need. . She even called and cancelled her previously booked tourist reservations so that these local families could stay as long as they needed to stay. Nestled in the fragrant pines 1,500 feet above the heat and smoke on the northeast side of the city, Susan's facilities provided safe haven and comfort for these families as they anxiously waited for the word when they would be able to return to their homes. Now the fires are gone and the skies are blue once again in our beautiful Colorado. If and when you can, please help support the Colorado Springs community and the Black Forest Bed and Breakfast, Lodge and Cabins, by recommending the region to others as a vacation destination or even come here yourself. Susan Wilson's Black Forest B&B is currently offering a 20 percent discount on all rooms and will donate an additional five percent to the Waldo Canyon Fire Victim Assistance Fund -- Pikes Peak United Way.
