Hunt's Biography Updated, Canadian Religious Leader Comes Under Criticism for Diploma Mill
By: Bob Allen
Posted: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 12:00 am
Southern Baptist Convention President Johnny Hunt's Web site has been updated to include two honorary degrees in his biographical sketch from schools identified by EthicsDaily.com as diploma mills.
EthicsDaily.com first noted in an editorial June 12 that even though he is routinely introduced as "Dr." Johnny Hunt, the newly elected SBC president did not earn a doctor's degree. Baptist Center for Ethics Executive Director Robert Parham cited sources documenting honorary doctorates belonging to Hunt from Covington Theological Seminary, Immanuel Baptist Theological Seminary and Tennessee Temple University, while noting that Hunt's ministry Web site omitted mention of those degrees.
The EthicsDaily.com editorial made the round of several blogs, and the Washington Post carried a guest column by Parham arguing that Hunt legitimated diploma mills by bearing a doctorate from one, an act which encouraged younger ministers to take educational shortcuts.
An individual saying he works for Hunt posted comments Monday on the Bene Diction blog reporting that Hunt's Web site had been updated to mention the honorary degrees. Not listing them was an oversight and not an attempt to deceive, the staff member insisted.
"I can understand the argument of whether or not someone with an honorary degree should use whatever title comes with that degree," one comment said. "I do not think it is right to accuse a man of lying or tarnishing his character because he chooses to do so."
But Parham said his beef is not with honorary degrees but rather Hunt's implied endorsement of non-accredited schools like Covington Theological Seminary in Rossville, Ga., and Immanuel Baptist Theological Seminary near Atlanta.
Neither school is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools, the primary accrediting body for post-baccalaureate theology schools in the United States and Canada, including all six seminaries operated by the Southern Baptist Convention.
Immanuel Baptist Theological Seminary, which started in a church, is accredited with the American Federation of Christian Colleges and Schools, which is not recognized under Generally Accepted Accrediting Practices.
Degree.net describes the group as one of six Bible school accrediting agencies. Since many Bible schools admit their degrees are not academic in nature, their accreditation has no educational relevance. In general, the Web site says, such schools tend to elevate doctrinal soundness above educational standards.
Some are diploma mills, businesses that make profit by disguising themselves as a college or university and selling fake degrees requiring little or no academic work by students.
Covington Theological Seminary says its accreditation is from the Accrediting Commission International. ACI opened in Beebe, Ark., after Missouri's attorney general shut down an organization with a similar name there for accrediting an illegal diploma mill.
Hunt isn't the only conservative religious leader under scrutiny about academic credentials. Charles McVety, president of Canada Christian College and the Canada Family Action Coalition, is one of the country's leading culture warriors in the fight against gay marriage. McVety is also national co-chairman of Christians United For Israel, Canada's affiliate of an American umbrella organization headed by San Antonio pastor John Hagee.
McVety received his doctorate from California State Christian University. An American extension of Tae Han Theological Seminary and College in Seoul, South Korea, California State Christian University is affiliated with Victory Bible Colleges International. Neither body is listed in a Council for Higher Education Accreditation database of institutions recognized by U.S. accrediting agencies.
A Canadian blogger who identifies as Bene Diction said it is dishonest for Christian leaders to hold fake doctorates from diploma mills.
"I am getting seriously fed up with this 'lying for Jesus' mentality," said Bene Diction. "There is a new president of a major convention in the U.S. running around with fake doctorates, a real Canadian fundamentalist with fake doctorates heading in the back door of the Hill, holding special screenings of what he thinks a movie is and then rushing off to hold an anti-racist rally."
"I really do not blame people for thinking evangelicals are not worth a hello," the blogger continued. "It is one thing for the church to be a hospital for sinners, it is quite another to be a petri dish for putrid, self-aggrandizing lies."

Customer Raves & Reviews
Very happy, they are beautiful!
Antique Filigree Wedding Place Cards I absolutely love how my invitation suite turned out - I used the pearlescent paper which gave it just enough shininess but maintained the gorgeous, elegant style of the Antique Filigree design. My only complaint throughout the process was the webpage interface - sometimes items get lost somewhere between the "my saved work" folder, "my cart", "my favorites", etc. It would have helped me a lot if this were more streamlined and all the items could be found in the same folder.
Perfect Place Card
Vision of Love Wedding Place Cards Loved this place card. Was able to pick my colors of my Wedding. Match my theme perfectly. Loved the Thank You on the back.
Reception and escort cards
Vision of Love Wedding Place Cards Everything was great! No complaints and it arrived in a well thought out package, neat and tidy. The colors and font designs were elegant, yet modern. They will get my business again!
Wonderful as usual
Antique Filigree Wedding Place Cards I have used MagnetStreet for all of my wedding printing thus far and would reccommend them to anyone!
Great place cards!
Tender Tendril Wedding Place Cards I ordered these place cards in 2 different colors- champagne and strawberry. We are using the different colors to signify meal choices. The champagne cards came out perfectly. The strawberry ones have a minute touch of white on the border where it should still be red. It is extremely slight and doesn't bother me. I had the same problem with our invitations, but the "strawberry" is the exact shade of red we're using in our wedding. I love the design on the cards- simple but elegant. We used this design for our invitations, thank you cards, menu cards, and all other wedding-related stationary. Everything arrived less than 2 weeks after ordering. I definitely recommend this product!

ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski maligns Redskins release of Hunter Smith
Powerful stuff about the release of the veteran punter. The author points out that Smith has only mishandled 2 snaps in 12 years and that in spite of the Redskins being inept in so many other areas, they cut a high-character veteran who had been doing a decent job punting. Worth a read if you can stomach it.

Budget Compromise Avoids Government Shutdown – President's Weekly Address
After weeks of negotiations, President Obama and Congress finally came to an agreement regarding the United States budget. I understand that getting the budget right is an important task for our government, but toeing the line with an impending government shutdown seems a little risky. The collateral damage that would occur if the government actually shut down would cause tremendous economic pain when a lot of Americans are already feeling the pressures of a less than stellar economy. Thankfully the government will not be shut down - this time.
Watch President Obama's Weekly Address with his thoughts regarding the budget compromise.

Keep Your Child Safe From Predators
You've given up trying to hug your preteenager in front of his friends. Eight o'clock bedtimes disappeared with sensible fashion. He walks to his friend's house alone and may even go to a movie theater without his parents sitting in the next row. Yet, he's still a child even if he won't admit it, and he still needs protection and guidance to weather one of the most difficult times of his life.
"There is a fine line between preparing children for the dangers of the world and plain old scaring them," says Vivian Friedman, Ph.D., family psychologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "While a certain amount of judicious caution is required, it isn't necessary for preteens to worry about events they may never encounter."
Find Out What They Know
By the time the preteen years arrive, most kids know the difference between good and bad touching. But it may be a good idea to re-open the discussion using a vocabulary they can relate to: Have you heard about kids getting messed with by adults? Do you think this could happen to you?
After discussing what could happen, present the facts.
"Tell your child one out of three girls and one out of six boys nationally has been touched in a threatening or sexual way before the age of 18," says family therapist Kate Cohen Posey. "Ask her if she thinks this is higher or lower in her neighborhood."
This discussion shows your child that you're willing to talk about her feelings and ideas on the issue.
"I've talked to my daughter about good and bad touching since she could understand the words," says Barbara Watson of Charleston, S.C. "She's 11 now and knows the basic concept of rape – that there are 'bad men' that could try to take advantage of her."
Encourage your children to share their instincts with you, Cohen-Posey says. "Some adult behaviors may seem weird to her, but be normal, while others may indicate a problem." When a child raises a question like this, parents can use the opportunity to teach while listening, she says.
Although some kids feel they are invincible, it's the parents' job to set limits while encouraging independent thinking. Teaching preteenagers to trust their instincts and feel confident in their ability to judge situations prepares them for acting without a parent present. "Form a plan together, and fine tune it so your child is prepared when she doesn't have you beside her to help decide what to do," Cohen-Posey says.
Take Precautions
Even the most careful parents can't guarantee their children's safety, but there are steps you take to increase their security.
Be wary of adults who prefer the company of children.
"Older teens and adults should be with people their own age, even though there are exceptions to this rule," Cohen-Posey says.
Beware of adults who make inappropriate comments and tell dirty jokes in front of children.
"Parents don't tell their children dirty jokes, implying there are reasons for boundaries between generations," Friedman says. "It can be an attempt to test the response of a potential victim or just not respecting the needs of others."
Screen other parents.
Check out parents of your child's friends. "If you know they are heavy drinkers or do drugs, encourage your child to hang out at your house with his or her friends," Cohen-Posey says. If your child plans to sleep over at a friend's house, ask about the host parents. Are they strict, funny, mean or weird? "Give a large menu of words and stick in a couple that may indicate funny business," Cohen-Posey says. "Casually check sleeping arrangements."
Install a peephole or glass in the front door.
This is so visitors can be seen without acknowledging anyone is home. "Preteens shouldn't have friends over when an adult isn't home unless preapproved by the parents," Friedman says.
Teach Internet safety.
"Teach your child not to give out identifying information over the Internet," Friedman says. "A healthy child doesn't seek to meet people over the Internet, but an isolated or depressed child may be at risk."
Listen lovingly, carefully.
If your child is violated or assaulted by an adult, it's very important to listen. "Tell them sexual abuse is never a child's fault, and regardless of who hurt them, you want to know," Cohen-Posey says. "Tell them that even if it's a brother, sister, aunt, uncle or parent you want to know, and if they can't talk to you, find someone you both feel is safe."
Seize the Moment
"Most of the time it's better to deal with issues of safety as they come up rather than holding a formal talk," says Friedman. A seductive blouse in the store may seem appealing to a girl who is enjoying her attractiveness and newly-found alluring power. "She's not fully aware of the possible dangers and won't be prepared to handle the unsolicited advances that may result from her manner of dress."
When she wants to go to the mall at night with her friends, parents can seize the moment to teach safety. "Teach balance, not fear," Friedman says. "Explain there are many nice people in the world and only a few bad ones. Everyone needs to be careful not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Peggy Vincent of Berkeley, Calif. uses newspaper articles or television news stories as a jumping off point to drop a line of information or an opinion into conversation. "I don't necessarily expect them to respond, nor do I even address the comment to them," she says. "But if they know I'm not uncomfortable with the issue, they'll feel more free to approach me when they do have something to say."
With work, soccer practice and swim meets, it may be hard to find time for a long discussion. But a few seconds of conversation dropped at appropriate places gives kids the message that it's OK to say those amazing words that are usually taboo. The subject isn't embarrassing, and they don't have to listen to a lecture every time they have a question.
"We've watched a few videos together about safety and how people can try to lure her away by asking for help," Watson says of her 11-year-old. "She knows her limits, and I pray a lot."
Watson's daughter has begun to go out on her own, and each time she learns a little more about the world. "She's never been afraid to share anything with us, and I hope it stays that way."
Like a tightly-coiled spring, preteenagers want to be set free. If the spring is held down and then released quickly without control, it jumps all over the place. Conversely, if it's guided gently and with care, it will stand straight and tall. Gently help your preteenager up, and the end result will be a well-rounded adult who listens to his or her heart.

CATEGORIES Drama, Romance, Focus Features, Other Festivals, Cinematical Indie, War, CinematicalLast month, while at Cannes, Venice Film Festival artistic director Marco Müller said this year's event will feature a lot of English-language films and a focus on up-and-coming filmmakers. Both statements fit with the announcement now that Atonement will be opening the festival, which kicks off August 29. The UK-produced pic is the sophomore effort of Joe Wright. It also marks the director's continued collaboration with Keira Knightley, who he directed to an Oscar nomination in his debut, Pride & Prejudice. Atonement is a war-time epic romance adapted from Ian McEwan's (Enduring Love) novel by Christopher Hampton (The Quiet American). Months after its premiere at Venice, it opens in the U.S. just in time for Academy notice on December 7.
A few months ago we shared the film's trailer, and just last week we got some photos, but neither is enough for us to tell if Knightley will deserve another nomination for her work with Wright. After recently watching the actress in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, I can't imagine her ever winning an Oscar, but perhaps Wright has some sort of magic touch with her. I will have to wait about five months to judge for myself, but Knightley's fans in the UK will be getting to see the performance about two weeks after it shows in Venice, on September 14. Then it rolls out to other parts of the world in the fall and winter.
So far Atonement seems to be the only film officially announced to screen at this year's Venice Film Festival, though last month Variety reported the fest will include a number of American films, likely including Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf, Todd Haynes' I'm Not There and Ang Lee's Lust, Caution. We'll know for sure on July 26. The only other things we know for sure about the fest are that Zhang Yimou is heading the jury, that Tim Burton is getting a career achievement award and that there will be a Spaghetti Western retrospective. If you love both Knightley and Sergio Leone, you may want to start making your reservations today.

Heavy larger size ramekins
Nancy from Newcastle, WA– Verified Buyer
I really like the heavy larger size of these ramekins. I got them in black and they are glossy with smooth tan inside. They stack easily and wash up wonderfully in the dishwasher. They are more expensive than most, but a collectible that will last forever, so I am getting a few at a times.
Love them
Frannie Victorino from Vacaville, Ca– Verified Buyer
I am always using these little cuties. Hope other colors go on sale so i can have an assortment of colors. Use them for so many things, keeping vegies separate at the dinner table for each person, snacking while couch potatoing it and great for ice cream, you enjoy the ice cream but have less in this pretty bowl. Playing with the mind.
Beautiful! Great size, nice color!

Friday, May 15, 2009 Report: Eagles offered Brown and pick for Boldin
Say it ain't so, but there's more from the Anquan Boldin front. According to Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic, the Eagles offered cornerback Sheldon Brown and a third round pick for the Cardinals wide receiver. Arizona, wisely, rejected the offer. I'm not positive, but I'm sure the Eagles were willing to toss in a few of T.O.'s unused jock straps, as well.
Earlier this week, Eagles coach Andy Reid went on 610-WIP and said that the asking price for Boldin was too high. He said -- just throwing out numbers for spit and giggles -- that first, third and fifth round picks, plus Boldin's $10 million salary would be too much for the Eagles to give up/take on if such a deal were to have existed.
Neverthless, the Eagles drafted Jeremy Maclin in the first round instead and there's no reason to ponder (right?) what might have been. Still, it might be interested to hear what Brown thought about the proposed deal. He said he wanted out just prior to the draft. The Eagles were presumably willing to grant his wish right away. Of course, their low ball offer could hardly suggest they were ready to send Brown off so soon.
Brown, by the way, reportedly met with Eagles president Joe Banner to clear the air. Brown was upset with Banner when he went on the radio and said he was unaware that his starting cornerback wanted a new contract. Brown has taken veiled and some not-too-veiled shots at Banner. I'm sure the kiss-and-make up was as uncomfortable as you might imagine.

Manning, who is a member at Southgate Squash Club, has been playing the sport since the age of seven but has improved over the last two years and now represents Middlesex at county level.
The youngster follows in the footsteps of his parents and grandparents who have also played for Southgate Squash Club.

How to do it all. That seems like the holy grail of answers. We all have those friends or maybe you are THAT WOMAN. The one we all love, yet a little part of us is envious. The one that had a baby sick all night, got all of her laundry done, her dishes are washed, her house is almost spotless and she still has a smile on her face. I often wonder if she's actually going crazy inside and it's one of those smiles that means she's about to break in half.
Those ladies drive me nuts because I don't have a baby (unless you could the ones out in the barn that I have), my house is always a mess, I always have laundry and usually my smile means I'm going crazy. I'm in my mid-20s, have been married for a year and obviously we are thinking of a family in the future. I cannot imagine at this point bringing another life into the mix. Between the long and strange hours I work on the farm, the writing, the cleaning, the laundry, the everything else that I take care of I cannot imagine becoming a mother too.
I've been told by a lot of friends who are moms that you just do it. But if I did anything else I'm not sure when I would sleep.
So here I am, asking all of you amazing, busy moms; How do you do it all? What are some tips you have that help you keep everything flowing and moving in your house?

Has Rick DiPietro reinjured himself? I have noted how, after a weak showing against Dallas that might have been showing off rust, Ricky had a couple of decent games and a really good one against the Tampa. Then the bottom dropped out. He has had three absolutely awful games in a row.
We have been here before. Last year he played in eight games before reinjuring himself and being taken off the roster. He has played seven games so far this season. Are we looking at yet another injury for Ricky? And if it is an injury what will that mean for Ricky and the Islanders. Please share your thoughts and vote in the poll.

COLUMBUS, Ind. -- The Central Illinois Drive ran their record to 6-0 with an 87-84 win against the Indiana Diesels on Sunday in Columbus, Indiana.
The Drive almost blew a 21-point lead before hanging on for the 3-point victory. Unofficially Rodney Edgerson led the Drive with 22 points. Jemal Farmer had 16, Todd Peterson had 13.
The Drive are the only unbeaten team in the Premier Basketball League.
The first half went very well for the Drive. Indiana took a four point lead to start the game but Central Illinois came back to take the lead and did not look back throughout the half. After the 1st quarter the Drive led 27-19.
The 2nd quarter was even better for Central Illinois as they continued to stretch the lead. The Drive pushed the lead to 16 points with around five minutes to go. Nothing seemed to stand in the way, not even a blown dunk by Rodney Edgerson. He managed to tip the ball in while hanging on the rim after missing the dunk, but the referees waived off the basket. Central Illinois would eventually end the half up 44-31.
The Drive had everything going in the 3rd as they extended their lead to 21 points. It was their largest lead of the day. Coach AJ Guyton decided to let the starters get a little rest in the quarter as he let his bench get some playing time. The Drive ended the quarter up 68-52.
The 4th quarter did not go well at all for the Drive as they let their lead slip to only five points with under 10 minutes to play. Jemal Farmer ended an 11-0 run by the Diesels with a one handed dunk to help keep the Drive ahead. The Diesels would hang in there but the Drive held onto the lead for the win 87-84.

« The Healthy Leader Quiz | Main | Three Ways to Kill a Small Group »August 22, 2012
What Happens When You Don't Serve Fluff on a Platter
Lessons learned from the first year of a women's mentoring ministry
Our leadership team has learned a few lessons after one year of prayer, preparation, and leadership training; a successful launch of a women's mentoring ministry at our church; and one year of mentoring through small groups. I'd like to share these lessons with you:
1. Trust God. Establishing and sustaining any ministry is a consistent exercise in faith and reliability on the Lord. It is a process. We give ourselves room to fail and grace to try again. We encourage each other on the journey.
2. Less is more. Some of our groups have eight mentees, but we are starting to believe that six is a more manageable number if the mentor truly wants to build relationships with the mentees, intercede in prayer, and serve them well. In his book Mentor Like Jesus, Regi Campbell suggests that if Jesus discipled only 12 and one of them was a bad egg, we certainly should be discipling no more than that at any one time.
3. Mentoring is not for everybody. Establishing a ministry in this manner could be a culture shock for you and others in your church. Pray a lot. Seek the counsel and support of your church leaders. Educate and train your leaders. Equip them with the right information. Communicate, communicate, and communicate some more. Sometimes I feel like a broken record, but you can never over-communicate when starting something new and radical.
After you have sought the Lord and presented the opportunity, some women will embrace it and others will not. If women are not ready to commit, it is better that they not join a group. Those who fully commit have testimonies, like this one from a woman in the first year of our mentoring ministry: "The women in my group have begun to develop a sense of unity in Christ. We are sharing our hurts and our triumphs in a Christian environment that feels safe and supportive. I believe we are drawing on Christ's strength and love through one another. It is a joy to have a place to offer support and be supported as well."
However, mentoring and discipleship are for everybody. I have no doubt about that. At the same time, the way that I have outlined is not the only way to do it. Therefore, don't pressure women to commit if they simply are not ready, and be sensitive to where they are on their spiritual journey. When they are ready, welcome them with open arms.
4. Radical mentoring means women start to develop a biblical Christian worldview. We don't tell them that initially. It sounds a bit academic (too seminary-like) and in the opinions of some, therefore of no earthly good. The bottom line: in today's culture, women need a biblical Christian worldview like never before. There are too many lies masquerading as the truth, yet it is not enough for women (or men for that matter) to simply know the Word and quote Scriptures. They also must be able to apply the truth of Scripture to their daily lives. Theology requires both head and heart knowledge, being both hearers and doers of God's Word. Once we learn this truth, our eyes are opened forever.
We don't tell the women what to think; rather, we challenge them to ask why. We ask a lot of questions and provide them with the resources to find their way. If they seek guidance and counsel, we gently nudge them in the right direction. If they are headed down the wrong path, like a good shepherd, we bring them back. It has been interesting for me to see women discover that the pursuit of God can be a challenge and that is okay (better than okay actually).
As one mentee said, "From the start of my group, there was a sense of bonding, being real, and soul searching. We immediately begin to bare our hearts by praying for each other. Even after the first group gathering, there was excitement to hear how God was working to answer prayers in each person's life."
When women approach me and tell me they are struggling through the reading, I often smile and say, "Good." Then I remind them that Jacob received his blessing after he wrestled with the angel of the Lord all night long (Genesis 32:22-32). Much of what we find in the Bible and in life is quite difficult, and sometimes we need to wrestle with God.
5. When you don't serve fluff on a platter, women start to discover who they are in Christ Jesus. They start to depend less on their emotions and stand on the Word of God, believe what God says about who they are, and see themselves as God sees them. When I questioned women concerning feedback from one of the reading resources, I started hearing responses like "I am a theologian! I didn't know that before." They have also discovered that they are God's image bearers (Genesis 1:26-27), a reflection of God's glory on earth, and they have a responsibility to actively take care of all the earth and its inhabitants by partnering with our brothers. Not only that, they have discovered that we are ezer-warriors (Genesis 2:18), the Greek word for strong "helpers"—God's answer to the problem of man's aloneness and an agent of change to advance his kingdom forward.
They start to see themselves as friends of God (John 15:15), daughters of the King of the universe, and joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:15-17a). Knowing and believing the truth changes everything! It is my hope that as a result of this ministry, women will no longer be suppressed by who the world says we are, who the church sometimes traditionally says we have to be, or how we measure up against another sister or brother. Imparting women with the truth of God's Word has provided love, freedom, and validation because of the work that Christ has already done on our account!
Women are starting to see themselves as spiritual warriors in God's military. They start to win spiritual battles in their minds, through the truth of God's Word and by the power of the Holy Spirit. In the words of one mentee, "Through this ministry, God was preparing me for the battle but I just didn't know it. I chose to believe the testimony that God is good and on the throne; otherwise, I wouldn't have made it."
6. When we mentor like Jesus, women start to value the diversity within the community of believers and seek to build up the church and community as a whole. We have opportunities to "submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" (Ephesians 5:21). Mentors and mentees learn from each other, and peer-to-peer mentoring also takes place. The breadth of experiences and God's hand at work in our individual lives enhance the body, encourage our testimonies, and strengthen our faith (1 Corinthians 12–13). Most important, the women are learning the truth of James 5:16: "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" (NIV). Intercessory prayer is an invaluable part of the mentoring group's time together, and women are experiencing freedom, healing, and strength at the mighty hand of the Lord.

Hey dear sister in Christ:
Thank you for sharing these hard-won insights with the rest of us. It's a joy to watch God bless and sharpen you through your obedience to the mentoring ministry.
I love the phrase "fluff on a platter." I've been served a lot of that over the years. Thanks for calling it out.

1 - Monin flavoured coffee syrup gift set £6
3 - This works sleep balm beauty ball £8.40
4 - Topshop mini lip bullet duo £10
5 - Bodyshop starlight oil burner £10
6 - Lush I want candy gift set £7.95
I really don't think it's important to spend a great deal of money on presents for people, but what I do think is important is that the gift you give is thoughtful and something that they would love! I remember last year when one of my best friends bought me a book, I hadn't asked for it and it didn't cost a lot of money, but it was one of the best presents I got because it was about something I'm really interested in and I loved reading it, and they'd really thought about that! That being said, lets get on with it...
There are a couple of makeup or beauty options here, a lovely makeup bag is always a good present, get the sort of style or colour etc that the person you're buying for would like, I personally love this one from H&M and they're not expensive! Topshop are also doing some really nice makeup gift sets this year which are great ideas for presents, this is one of their cheaper ones and you get the makeup bag and 2 cute mini lip bullets! Great for someone that likes wearing lipstick or experimenting with their makeup. Of course there's a lush set here, they do lots of these smaller, cheaper sets with different products, I love the scent of the products in this one, but you can buy yours based on the scents you know the person you're buying for likes. You could even make your own up and buy a couple of individual items you know they'll like from the store, I do that every year for people that I know enjoy that sort of thing! The this works sleep balm beauty ball is actually reduced at the moment on beautybay.com and is a lovely gift for someone you know that tends to be stressed or have trouble sleeping. And finally the bodyshop oil burner is so pretty! I think it's gorgeous! People can buy scented oils that they like for quite cheap to burn in it, it's a lovely little ornament, and it doesn't give off as much bad soot as burning scented candles does! And can I take a moment to say that this is a far more realistic gift to give than one of these ridiculously expensive candles I keep seeing in gift guides! I nearly had a heart attack when I found how much they were! You definitely don't need to be splashing that sort of cash one something someone's going to BURN! Let's consider that for a second. They're going to burn your money. Don't let them burn too much of it, and give them a pretty ornament in the process... S'all I'm saying....
Will you be giving or asking for anything from this gift guide?

Meeting Benjamin Christopher Cohen MBE for the first time is an intimidating experience.
First up, this rugby legend and pin up boy of choice for droves of gay men is positively gigantic. As he stands to greet me I find myself momentarily reclining like a frightened animal. They don't call him Big Ben Cohen for nothing.
"Rugby's a diverse group of people size wise," he laughs. "I've always been a big lad. I have a big backside obviously, big legs - long legs. I struggle to get jeans that fit." Talk of his big backside. He knows how to make a boy blush.
More intimidating than his size is the size of his achievements. He's solid gold sporting royalty. And undoubtedly one of the most successful people I'll ever meet. A 15-year rugby career has resulted in public adulation and those elusive extra three letters in his title: he's the 10th highest point scorer in the history of English rugby and in 2003 he and a dream team that included Jonny Wilkinson saw England to Rugby World Cup victory, conquering Australia 20 to 17.
"It was indescribable," he says of the win. "And everything off the back of that: meeting the Queen, the Prime Minister, getting greeted by a million people. It's a surreal thing."
Scariest of all, he's absolutely, heart stoppingly gorgeous. Which goes part way to explaining why the gays adore him so.
In many ways, his appeal is archetypal. He's the straight guy from school you lusted over: the sporting superman with a shaven head, killer smile and strapping physique; the magnetic personality and unbounded popularity (in Ben's case 160, 000 Facebook friends); he who would forever be unattainable.
But there are reasons beyond these for the epic gay fanbase Ben first noticed "about five or six years ago," that has "really grown over the last 18 months."
Let's face it: unless it's in the pejorative sense, you'd be hard pressed to find a straight man in sport who'd so much as utter the word gay in public. Even those without an ounce of homophobia in them tend to keep schtumn - apart from David Beckham. But besides him, how many can you think of who have personally reached out to the social group their industry STILL seems to discriminate against?

States - Tamil Nadu
SIMA favouors extending investor-friendly schemes
Our Bureau
Output growth
Spun yarn production in 2005-06 remained at 3,386 million kg at 5.2 per cent growth.
Cotton yarn output grew at 8.4 per cent to 2,462 mkg during the year.
All fabric production grew by 8 per cent to 49 billion sq metres.
Coimbatore , Sept. 29
With investors displaying interest to invest in textiles industry, there is a greater need to extend all the existing pro-investment schemes such as technology upgradation fund scheme (TUFS), technology mission on cotton, credit-linked capital subsidy scheme and the scheme of integrated textile parks into the 11th Plan.
Similarly, the Central allocation for the TUFS should be put at Rs 2,000 crore for the next financial year to enable timely release of interest subsidy, according to the Southern India Mills Association (SIMA).
Addressing the 47th annual general meeting of the association here on Thursday, the SIMA Chairman, Mr S.V. Arumugam, said early labour reforms, free import of textile machinery including the used spinning machinery, and customs duty exemption to import of extra long staple cotton/man-made fibre would enhance the competitiveness of the domestic textile industry. On the performance of the industry, Mr Arumugam said the production of spun yarn in 2005-06 remained at 3,386 million kg at 5.2 per cent growth.
Cotton yarn output grew at 8.4 per cent to 2,462 mkg in the year. The cotton yarn production in the southern States rose by 10.3 per cent.
All fabric production grew by 8 per cent to 49 billion sq metres.
Whereas the cotton fabric production displayed 14 per cent rise compared to the previous year.
The SIMA chief urged the Centre to give sufficient time for the industry associations to give their feedback on entering into international trade pacts by the Government, since such agreements have far reaching implications on the domestic markets on factors such as labour, power and transaction costs; often, industry/trade bodies come to know about such pacts only through newspaper reports or Government notifications.

My mini refrigerator just crapped out on me. I want to get a top opening freezer so I would have more space for 5 gallon kegs. Is it possible to raise the freezer temp so it won't freeze the beer? Do most models have the ability to do it just with the settings? Or do I have to do some modifications?

Yeah after posting I searched the forums for similar discussions. Probably should of done that first. And that seems to be the common way to do it.

Polynauts Central: (27/10 Archived)
Today's header image brought to you by shawnw.
Howdy friends! Another glorious day, another glorious Polynauts thread, for you wonderful people to talk about nonsense all day. This is my first official Polygon Polynauts Central thread, and I gotta tell you all... feels good :) I'm happy to see so many of you make the jump, and happy to see so many new faces round these here parts!
Now that I'm done being sentimental, I'm PaddyStardust, your weekend friend, so get to chatting!
Here are some Community focused regular topics.
- For comics, manga and anime and if want a nice organised place to talk about those, then head on over to Crisis on Infinite Polygons Vol 2 Issue #1: The Verges of Future Past for Chaosbirdomage's and Breadknight's all-in-one thread.
- If you want to talk game related art - or even art in general but be sure to head over to the thread by Revolurt called The Polygon Gallery of Fine Arts and grab yourself some cheese, olives and a glass of wine.
- If you want to talk about any movies or television shows with fear of spoilers then go toPrinceLUDA21's Polynauts The Movie: Episode VI - Return of the Polynauts thread.
1: Capcom wants your most cherished memories for Remember Me promotion by Megan Farokhmanesh
Remember Me is set in Neo-Paris, 2084, where memories can be stolen, traded and sold. Capcom is currently asking participants to send a photo memory and a brief description of what makes that moment so important. Selected at random, these images will then be incorporated into Remember Me's Memory Overload sequences, which take place after successfully completing one of the protagonist's signature attacks."
2: Hotline Miami Review: American Psycho by Chris Plante
If murder simulation is a genre, Hotline Miami is its new exemplar. The top-down action game coerces its players to take life in the quickest, ugliest and most ironic ways. It's caustic. It's filthy. It's one of the best arguments against casual violence in video games. It's also one of the most important games this fall.
3: How Drinkbox Studios' grit raised an indie developer and got Guacamelee funded by Dave Tach
In 2008, the game development studio arose from the remnants of Toronto-based developer Pseudo Interactive. When its final game lost funding, Pseudo laid off about 90 percent of its staff, and dismissed the remaining skeleton crew a few weeks later. Toronto's independent developer scene wasn't as vibrant then as it is today, and many former Pseudo employees fled Toronto for work elsewhere.
4: G4 cancels video game programming X-Play and Attack of the Show by Michael McWhertor
Together, the two shows have produced more than 3,000 episodes. Over the course of the next two months, X-Play and Attack of the Show will air a series of farewell episodes, TV Guide reports. Former show hosts and special guests will make appearances on the shows' reaming episodes. Both programs are slated to end their runs in December.
5: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U day-one downloadable in Japan, uses half deluxe model's memory by Alexa Ray Corriea
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for the Nintendo Wii U will be available as a downloadable title on the console's launch day in Japan, and will be cheaper than the game's physical retail version, according to a listing on the official Tekken website.
1: Polynauts LIVE, this Sunday! by PaddyStardust

If you have any suggestions for topics, wallop them down the bottom in the comments, and we shall be sure to take them into consideration!"
2: What is your favorite video game? Ever. by NintendoLegend
"Thread title says it all, I hope."
3: How do you Battlefield? Share your strategies! by Rio_GTi
"So despite being a veteran of the franchise, I'm ashamed to admit that I only got Battlefield 3 on PC a couple of weeks ago; and obviously - despite being killed more than ever, I'm still loving it! Now since I got it a year after release [I picked up the Premium version] a lot of players have already hit the high ranks and built up a lot of skill, so it's taken a bit of a learning curve to play with the big dogs! Still, where many would rage quit and throw out the controller, I've persevered and managed to find my niche once again."
4: Video Game Pet Peeves! by ProjectNatalie
"Unskippable cut scenes right after a checkpoint for a difficult boss/semi-boss battle. I remember playing ME1 where you climb this hill and they drop off one of those huge Geth colossus things and like 7 regular troops and you get two boxes to hide behind. Playing on Insanity that early in the game, almost everything was close to a one-three shots for a death depending on what you got hit by. I think its the mission where you rescue that-one-character-I'm-not-going-to-name-for-the-sake-of-those-who-haven't-played-it-yet, actually. Right before you enter the underground part. Talk about frustrating."

Watching the winter musings there are reports of trading for Garza, (opportunity knocks), signing Webb (reclamation opportunity) and filling in at 1B with another Hendry creative deal in Cruz. Other wise what? Hiring Quade and standing pat, talk about downsizing the bloated 25-man payroll and letting contracts run out. Next year liabilities gone will be Ramirez ($14.6M), Fukudome ($13.5M), Silva ($11.5M) , Pena ($5M), Grabow ($4.8M), & Samardzija ($2M) or $51.4M where the club will be without a oft-injured starting 3B, 4th platoon OF'er starting 1B, starting pitcher, injured reliever, & AAA bust. Next year Pujols and Fielder enter free agency. Pujols, the best NL player in the decade and possibly one of the top 2 or 3 in the game including AL over that time. Is he the target? Is he the plan?
Who would be the competitors? What will he cost? He will be 31 years old next year. With Yankees and Boston locked up with DH and 1B they are out. Angels have their injured 1B back, Toronto is flush, White Sox have theirs, Phillies got Howard.
The market that is lining up appears to be Cardinals, Dodgers Giants, Braves, Detroit, Cleveland and Cubs. Of those I can only see Giants, Braves and Cubs really willing or having the capacity to afford a $30M-$35M annual 6-7 year deal, $200M? Is this the plan? Would you work the margins and downsize to get into position for Pujols? I would.

KC Joyner with ESPN has put up a piece where he evaluates and ranks the NFL's top match-up buster wide receivers. A match-up buster is a WR who still performs well against the top CB's in the league, CB's he calls either 'red' or 'yellow' match-ups for the WR. A red CB is one who allows less than 7 yards per attempt in their direction, a yellow is 7-9 yds per attempt. So we are not talking just catches here bad passes by the QB would count in the denominator. Also, a WR must have at least 35 attempts in their direction to be included in the rating.
So are you wondering if Steve Smith made the list? Duh... well of course he did! Smitty pretty much toasts everybody. Here's Joyner's top 4 who stand in a group by themselves as 'true match-up busters':
- Vincent Jackson - 11.5 yards per attempt (YPA) against red.yellow CBs
- Victor Cruz - 10.9 YPA
- Steve Smith - 10.4 YPA
- Mike Wallace - 10.2 YPA
Cam Newton gets a ton of credit for the Panthers' 2011 turnaround, but let's not forget just how much credit Smith deserves in helping Newton.
Those of us here at CSR never lost sight of the fact Smitty can make QB's look like Pro Bowlers (well most of them!).

Too many inmates and not enough space. The Tulsa County Jail has 60 extra prisoners. It's been a problem for about a year now and to get the number down the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office is working on several things.
"We stopped municipal inmates from being booked into the jail," says Major Shannon Clark, TCSO.
Clark says they have also contacted the Department of Correction to collect their inmates within 72 hours. Local prosecutors say this will help.
"You have to start somewhere. So, I think that's a good first step and this issue has been around forever," says Tulsa County First Assistant District Attorney, Doug Drummond.
Drummond says he hasn't seen this many inmates in the jail in sixteen years of being here. He says everyday they have to ask several questions on who should be let out early.
"Where do we send them? How accountable should they be? Are they a public safety threat and who can take them and what resources do we have," says Drummond.
Clark says from last Friday to Monday morning they were able to release 185 inmates. But in that same time 165 new inmates came in. He says they are only letting out the very small cases and it is on a case-by-case basis in front of a judge.
"We had somebody in there for an animal-at-large. We had some incarcerated for driving a vehicle with a bad windshield. We had somebody in there for jaywalking," says Clark.
Clark says they have brought in more deputies on the weekends to patrol the jail to make sure everyone stays safe, but if they can't get the number to stay down, they could be forced to ask for more money.
"If we cannot continue to operate that jail within our revenue stream then we are going to have to go outside and ask for additional revenue to operate that facility," says Clark.

To use ASOIAF as an example (since everyone here has probably read it), one of my favorite chapters is what I believe to be Jaime's first in AFfC, when he's standing vigil over Tywin. Not a ton of stuff really happens in real time for that chapter, but you get an enormous amount of backstory and character development, while also having a general recurring "theme" (that's not really the right word for what I mean) of parenthood. At least that's how I remember reading it, I may be a little off in the details, but it always stuck out to me as one of the better-written parts of the series.
Agreed and agreed! To me, that chapter works so well because it does both of what every chapter should do: move the story forward or tell you something about the characters. (I think that's also true of episodes in a TV series, but this is the lit thread so I will hold off going any further into that.)

New "cloud" TV shows as a bandwidth saver
I cut the cable a few months ago. I find that just having netflix and getting some more content from iTunes does it for me. I had to increase my bandwidth limit to 120GB but the cost for that is balanced by no longer having to pay for cable.
No I never see a single TV ad. Xmas is much less annoying this year thanks to that.
One problem I had is that whenever I downloaded an iTunes TV show in HD I would get 2 versions, HD and SD. I do not need the SD and never found a way to remove it permanently from the iTunes downlolad list.
Now if I buy a show directly from the Apple TV and stream it it does not appear in the iTunes download list. I can still download it from the iTunes store if I want but I don't HAVE to. And I especially don't have to get both HD and SD versions. I still have the problem with my season passes which are added to the download list every week. Maybe this will go away when I buy my next season passes from the Apple TV directly.
Which brings me to the one thing that still bothers me a lot. When can't I buy the first 2-3 episodes and then get it as credit toward a season pass when I decide I want to follow this?
