Another year, another national championship football game without a Big Ten team.
The undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes had a shot last night playing in the Big Ten Championships in Indianapolis, but Michigan State knocked them out of BCS National Championship contention in a 34-24 victory that snapped Ohio State's school-record 24-game win streak.
Michigan State will now head to Pasadena to face Stanford in the Rose Bowl and Ohio State will go home sans Big Ten title and sans spot in the last BCS title. The Buckeyes are now slated to play No. 12 Clemson in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3.
Meanwhile, Auburn is expected to face No. 1 Florida State for the championship game, being the only two teams clearly left standing at the end of the last BCS season.
While plenty of Gopher fans dislike witnessing Ohio State win any game at all, it's been a while since any Big Ten team appeared in the final bowl game of the BCS. Ohio State is the only Big Ten team to ever appear in a BCS Championship Game -- they went in 2006 and 2007, both times losing to SEC teams but beat Miami for the title in 2002.
At least once SEC team has been part of the championship matchup since 2006, and since the 1998 inception of the BCS, there's only been six instances in which an SEC team didn't play in the National Championship Game.
Apparently, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer sullenly consumed a few slices of Papa John's pizza at Lucas Oil Stadium after Saturday night's loss, as if there wasn't enough sorrow in that locker room.
The Gophers (8-4) will face Syracuse (6-6) in the Texas Bowl on Dec. 27. This will be the second Texas Bowl appearance in a row for the Gophers -- last year they lost to Texas Tech 34-31 in the final 70 seconds.
Minnesota is 3-1 against Syracuse, who finished 4-4 in its first season in the ACC.

I received my Wood Magazine May 2012 issue a few weeks back and I found the plans for this front end loader in the issue. My dad's 72nd birthday was coming up and I thought that this would be a great gift for him. He is retired but at his last job he operated one of these daily. I have never made one of these type of projects but it was alot of fun doing so. I gave the gift to my dad and he loved it. It is made of Walnut and Maple. Thanks for looking.

PRE-ORDER YOUR ADAPTERS NOW! We expect delivery of the first shipment of these in approximately two weeks!
These Pin to Pinch Adapters make it easy to use the P.E.S. Electrodes with any power box as long as the leads terminate in the tens-style pins. Or it makes it so you can use our Pin Wire Leads to combine a Self-Adheive Electrode with another single pole electrode!
So for those of us here in the States, this weekend is a 3-Day weekend because Monday is Memorial Day. What are your plans for the weekend? Personally, I'm spending time with friends & loved ones…..that could simply mean a relaxing weekend but it could also turn into an crazy kinky adventure. You never know with my friends.For those of you traveling by air, check out this article on TSA & sex toys!Here at P.E.S. we are offering a special discount that we've never offered before and it will be a while before it is available again.
Check out the blog for more information!
This is a major simplification of the concept but these three basics working in harmony can lead to what has been termed a 'hands-free orgasm', where no physical contact is needed with the genitals in order to achieve climax.
We see newbies to estim every day here at The Studio. We talk to them on the phone, by email, and in our discussion forum. There are a lot of misconceptions about electrical stimulation. The biggest misconception is that it is anything like being electrocuted.Erotic Electro Stimulation, as we tend to call it, or Electro Sex, as it is more popularly known, isn't electrocution. Yes, electricity is being applied to the nerve & muscle tissue. No, it isn't a painful shock.I tend to tell people unfamiliar with any forms of low frequency electrical stimulation that estim or Electro Sex is more like a tingle than a shock. There is this almost buzzing sensation being delivered to your nerve endings. It shouldn't be painful in the sense of sticking your finger in a light socket, running into an electric fence, or even static shock from rubbing your feet across the carpet in socks to sneak up behind your friends and startle them. It delivers a much more pleasurable sensation.There is an initial tingling feeling or buzzing feeling where the electrode (that is what delivers the sensation to the body) is placed. With an internal electrode, such as one of the Acrylic Anal Plugs, there is at first a clenching of the muscles around the electrode that strengthens as the intensity of the Power Box is turned up. Then by adjusting the pulse & frequency dials, you start to create a push/pull sensation as the muscles tighten and relax around the electrode rhythmically. With an external electrode, such as the Self-Adhesive Pads, the muscles clench and release in much the same way but there is an almost petting or stroking sensation induced by the electricity.Obviously, different electrodes induce different sensations as well as variations due to placement. But the main thing to keep in mind is that while Electro Sex can be used to 'torture' your lover or yourself, it is 'torture' with pleasure, such as orgasm denial or edging or perhaps driving them to orgasm without their control over it. It isn't about 'shocking' them, it is about driving them mad with intense pleasurable sensations.So while Electro Sex may sound 'shocking', if you're actually getting 'shocked', you're doing something wrong.

[Video] Which AMP Artist Started the Latest Twitter Battle?
Another day, another celebrity feud!
This time it's between two people that you would never expect. Leave it to Twitter to spark all the drama!
Any ideas as to who has beef with whom? Even I didn't see this one coming…
Celebrity feuds are common these days but who would have thought it would be between a popular reality show star and an R&B singer. Any guesses yet?
It all started Monday when AMP Radio artist [lastfm] Ne-Yo[/lastfm] sent out this tweet:
Wow. Snooki is on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Really? I quit. (Just kidding, but almost serious….)—
Ne-Yo!! (@NeYoCompound) March 07, 2011
Leave it to [lastfm]Snooki[/lastfm] to reply with:
Neyo's mad that I got the cover of rolling stone? Hm you lost a loyal fan. What a buzz kill.#sorry—
Nicole Polizzi (@Sn00ki) March 08, 2011
[photogallerylink id=57265]
Do you think [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ne-Yo[/lastfm] was a little too harsh or was it just a joke? Would you be hating on [lastfm]Snooki[/lastfm] for getting the cover of a magazine?
Let me know what you think about this mini-feud!
In the meantime, here's [lastfm]Ne-Yo[/lastfm]'s song "Mad"…can't we all just get along?

If you're a wise consumer, you shop around to find what you need. Today, there's a product for every taste and helpful advice for just about every inquiry.
For example: If you don't want to be noticed, Japanese professors have created glasses they say will prevent you from being identified by facial recognition software.
Questions about car buying? Even Oprah has a few answers for you on her website.
But then there's health.
When it comes to health care, being an intelligent consumer requires even greater diligent examination.
Since February is National Wise Health Consumer Month, you may have noticed various published tips to guide you.
Most of these recommendations focus entirely on the utilization of conventional medicine. But, if you have ever been curious about spiritual options for healing and health, below are a few word-to-the-wise ideas for those contemplating the use of spiritual/thought-based care.

Apigee, the application programming interface (API) management company with clients including Netflix, Getty Images and Walgreens, today announced that it would be making use of its platform available for free to anyone requiring up to 3.5 million calls per month. It's also adding a number of new services, all of which will be included for free users, and most of which are aimed at making Apigee easier to manage so that customers can come on the platform and create customized API-based products for any of their partners (both internal and external).
On Thursday, the team at Apigee published new research showing that mobile phones are increasingly being used to buy almost everything – including no shortage of items considered to be "embarrassing. Apigee explored the opinions of more than 2,000 U.S. mobile device users in a "scientific survey" to discover why America is falling in love with mobile phone shopping.
Apigee Corp. , the company that "has an API for everything," is offering its application programming interface (API) management platform free of charge to anyone in hopes of adding fuel to the already hot mobile apps space. An API is an interface that allows different elements of software to more easily communicate with each other. Developers frequently use APIs in a mobile context to hook third-party applications into the wireless capabilities of an operating system or other application.
Apigee launches the next generation of its leading API platform making enterprise-grade API management available to all developers. Amazon Glacier's pricing model may have hidden costs. Plus: Data scientists may one day be replaced by tools, Skytap announces their latest Platform-as-a-Service and 5 new APIs.
Mobile application analytics developer InstaOps Inc. has been acquired by a California company that plans to expand in Texas. Austin-based InstaOps was bought by Apigee Corp., an application program interface company, officials announced Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The InstaOps acquisition marks the opening of a new Apigee office in Austin. Apigee, which was founded in 2004, completed a $20 million round of funding in July. The company operates offices in Palo Alto, Calif., Bangalore and London.
Apigee Corp., a fast-growing Silicon Valley software company that makes tools for mobile device applications, has bought a small Austin company and plans to expand here. Apigee, which raised $20 million in venture capital last month, bought Austin's InstaOps Inc. for undisclosed terms. InstaOps develops analytics software that tracks mobile app performance. Cofounders of the Austin company, Alan Ho and Prabhat Jha, will join the Apigee team.
APIs are not only critical when it comes to extending the digital reach of an organization; they can also provide tangible brick and mortar benefits as well. Walgreens, for example, recently announced that it has developed an API and software development kit that allows developers of mobile applications to include the ability to print out photos within their applications at any one of 7,907 Walgreens locations.
Scalability and automatic RESTful API generation are two of the most important features mobile app developers can expect from mobile Backend-as-a-Service, an emerging, cloud-based set of services that provide developers with customizable back ends for mobile app platforms so that developers can focus their time and energy on the app itself.
Chet Kapoor thinks he's riding a huge wave. "Apps are everywhere and their changing the world," he told me. "It's at least as profound as the browser and the web itself." But Kapoor and the company he leads, Apigee, aren't about apps, per se. Their about the back end that makes apps work. The company forges APIs, the tools that tap into a company or publisher's data to make apps possible. That's turning out to be a pretty good strategy.
Not only is there an app for pretty much everything, now there are companies to help developers manage how apps communicate. And venture capitalists are loving them.Last week alone, Apigee and Mashery pulled down a combined $30 million from VCs betting businesses need help managing what has become a labyrinth of internal and external facing apps connecting to their corporate back ends.

Since UFC 94 I have seen criticism of the most dominant and successful Welterweight in UFC history. Immediately following that fight, he was already being called risk-averse and boring. He didn't finish two opponents in a row and was labelled boring already. Man if we knew he'd never finish an opponent again how silly would we have felt jumping the gun back then eh?
But I digress. The fans are fucking abhorring. Myself included. We're ruthless. I've never seen a "champion" get so much flak at all times from all angles. He was the least celebrated champion in the history of the sport. Maybe there was more disdain for a Tito Ortiz or Brock Lesnar, but GSP's legacy is as long as the "boooooooooooooo" I can still hear from the audience.
UFC 129. My first live GSP fight. Also the last time I ever paid to watch that fucker fight. What an amazing event from start to the beginning of the main event. What a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE fight. That will go down as the worst GSP fight in the history of the UFC in my mind.
For every "fan" of his in glorious Canada who attended, we collectively booed him into retirement. It only took about 5 years for him to hear the message.
If he'd just come out and say "you do not ap-pre-ciate my pe-fo-mance" he'd be completely justified in saying fuck you guys, I am not getting brain damage so you can write another shitty post about how much you hate how I fight.

Titanic museum to set sail on East Lancs
5:00pm Wednesday 7th May 2014 in News By Hannah Al-Othman, Reporter
THE Titanic Museum could be set to depart East Lancashire at the end of July.
The museum was set up in Colne five years ago, but moved to Samlesbury Hall after outgrowing its previous premises.
The hall agreed to house the museum for a year, but has now said the term will not be extended as there are plans to bring in a new exhibition.
Curator Nigel Hampson said he was disappointed by the news, which was given to him on Monday, but understood the hall's decision.
He said: "We were never permanent there. They guaranteed us a year and they said they would review the situation and decide whether they would have us there longer.
"We wanted to be extended, we thought they were happy to have us there, but they've got another exhibition to move in.
"We're a bit gutted. We knew it wouldn't be permanent, but we were hoping for another year.
"We've got to be out by July 27, so we're going to be homeless on July 28. We're busy hunting for a new venue."
Sharon Jones from Samlesbury Hall said the new exhibition was 'very exciting', and was more local to the hall.
She said: "It's been delightful to have the Titanic at the hall.
"The arrangement was for a year, our visitors have found it quite entertaining and it is with great regret that we say goodbye to Nigel and set the Titanic sailing again.
"The new exhibition was something that we simply couldn't say no to."
The Titanic museum has been using Facebook, Twitter and email to try to find a new home for the collection, and Mr Hampson said he is considering a move further afield.
He said: "We'd love to get out a bit further towards the coast, possibly Liverpool, Blackpool, or Southport, where there's a good tourism element."

I am sorry that you've not yet been able to visit us here at Samlesbury Hall, however we are open every other day of the year apart from Christmas Day.
Without the weddings, unfortunately we would have to close every single day of the year.
Entry is only £3 on Sundays, and we have fantastic free tours with entry, so hope to see you soon!

Help me understand the Nexus brand
Let me start by clarifying I understand Google is trying to create a brand for their Android devices, but the new Nexus devices are really confusing. They have two different branding philosophies for their Nexus phones and tablets. The Nexus 4 by LG represents the 4th generation of their Nexus phone, while the Nexus 7 and 10 is branded by their screen size. It's confusing, and it'll be more confusing once Google gets up to the 7th generation Nexus phone.
So anyone have any idea what Google is doing? Or how you would do things differently. Personally I'd call their tablets the Nexus Tab 7 and Nexus Tab 10 while the phones go in numerical order as Nexus [insert generation number]. Or something along those lines so consumers could better understand the difference between the two lines.

There's word a group in Beaumont is contacting the Texas Education Agency about allegations of cheating on standardized tests.
The cheating scandal in the Atlanta, Georgia school system led to the downfall of several school officials, including the superintendent. It also shed light on the possibility of cheating in districts throughout the country.
A news article in an Atlanta newspaper reported that the Beaumont Independent School District was one of dozens of districts in the U.S. that showed differences in test scores that raised suspicion.
The online watch group, BISD Board Watch, is calling for an investigation and for witnesses into allegations of cheating at BISD.
At a meeting about redistricting maps, two Beaumont ISD graduates went off message, and brought the board back into the classroom.
Both Erika Mendoza and Samantha Rodriguez told board members how a BISD education did not prepare them for college.
High school sophomore Jaqueline Herrera told 12News she has classmates who are not learning, and resorting to cheating.
District officials would neither confirm nor deny an investigation, but board member Mike Neil said, "I don't think it will be a hard thing to prove, once they start coming forward, because what we need is direct eyewitnesses."
Board president Woodrow Reece expressed doubts about the allegations and issued a challenge.
He said, "It's come up before, and I say prove your case."
Meanwhile BISD board members are a third of the way through the alphabet when it comes to redistricting maps.
They are now on Map I.
Last month, the board unanimously agreed to submit a map to the U.S. Department of Justice.
It has to be approved before an election can be held.
But Monday afternoon, at a public hearing at Central High School, two more maps were produced for consideration.
The redistricting attorney told the board he doubts the DOJ will approve the submitted map, Map B, saying it doesn't fully represent Beaumont's racial makeup.
Neil complained that trustees were shown the latest map just minutes before the meeting, and when he asked why so late, the answer given by attorney, Chad Dunn, stunned the audience.
Dunn said, "We learned today that board president, Mr. Woodrow Reece, is considering moving his residence and he asked to incorporate some property into his district."
Reece said he was just bringing up a concern, but did not ask the attorney to change the map.
The board meets Thursday to approve a backup map to Map B.

The mighty have fallen: 'Gangnam Style' overtakes Bieber for all-time leadby Post Staff
Not even Justin Bieber can stop the "Gangnam Style" juggernaut.
Psy, the tuxedo-clad Korean pop star, saw his worldwide video smash race past Bieber's first big hit, "Baby", for the all-time record for views on YouTube. Currently, "Gangnam Style" has more than 826 million views, while Bieber now has more than 805 million.

The waiting game will just last one more day for the Griz as they enjoy latter portion of the bye week they earned. The Griz taking the weekend off to rest up for a daunting week ahead.
The Griz find out if it is Bethune-Cookman who won the MEAC or Coastal Carolina who won the Big South. The Griz have not been focusing on either, but more themselves this week. Their focus is on continuing to get better as a football team and to play their best football come December because they realize that from here on out, there are no second chances.
Griz Senior Defensive End Zach Wagenmann said of the week, "I feel like the whole demeanor of our side of the football that we play with more of a sense of urgency. Towards the end of the year with the playoffs ahead we rededicated ourseves and re-focused ourself and we're doing things well."
Senior Tackle Danny Kistler Jr. said, "This season has been about the weathering the storm and staying in there and fighting mentally and that's what I saw last week."

Donnie Avery, WR, Colts
A lot of his value is going to depend on Austin Collie's status. If Collie continues to miss time with concussion issues, there will be plenty of chances for Avery, who impressed on Sunday with a career-high nine catches. There¿s really no other WR options in Indy after Reggie Wayne right now.
Last week: 9 receptions, 111 yards
This week: vs. Jaguars

MMA Journalism is getting to be a joke these days.
MMA journalists have no BALLS to ask the tough questions and expose the obvious truths about top UFC fighters. They're just water carriers hoping to carry enough water to get a few exclusive interviews with top fighters.
Yeah they'll dump on Chael (and other fighters) who are POLITICALLY convenient targets, but other than that they are nothing but water carrying drones.
Let's take the curious case of DC (aka Daniel Cormier, aka Fat Man).
Everybody knows DC had kidney damage when he tried to cut down to 211 for the Beijing Olympics, blah blah blah.
Yeah Yeah Yeah. We all know that.
So when DC just PUSSIED OUT of a fight with Gus in Europe, MMA journalists were quick to accept his latest PUSSY EXCUSE of "not wanting to cut weight in Europe".
Or, more specifically...
He apparently doesn't think he can find a FUCKEN SAUNA in Sweden or anywhere else in Europe. Apparently saunas only exist in the good ol' USA. Yeah, okay. Nice excuse. ...And Jesse Holland just ate it up like a mindless drone.
Also... DC apparently doesn't think he can find suitable food in Europe which would be conducive to cutting weight, since I guess America is the only country with ultra lean food for weight cutting (which is why Americans are so much leaner, or I mean, so much fatter than Europeans on average). Nice try DC.
Jesse ate that up to.
Nor does he think his team can BRING NON PERISHABLE FOOD WITH HIM to Europe for a week......since I guess that's just a possibility that European law forbids. LOL.
Where are you MMA journalists?
Well, since the MMA journalists are hiding under the covers and too afraid to reveal the truth about why DC is too fucken scared to fight Gus in Europe, I'll go ahead and do their jobs for them. Free of charge.
DC doesn't want to fight Gus in Sweden because both he and Cain are too accustomed to fighting in cities where fans favor them by a wide margin (San Jose, Anaheim, Houston, etc) or at the very least neutral cities which don't favor their opponents.
They are both pussies in this regard and don't have the BALLS to face down a hostile crowd of thousands of foreign fans who will basically view them as the equivalent of Satan.
Not only is Cain accustomed to fighting in cities which heavily favor him... But did you notice that Cain failed to make the press tour to Brazil, his opponent's home country?
He gave an excuse which sounded as though it was crafted by his PR person.
...And guess what? That was just a FUCKEN PRESS CONFERENCE that he pussied out of (not a real fight).
Talk about a world class pussy.
So now we have DC afraid to face down a hostile Swedish crowd while making PUSSY EXCUSES about "saunas" and "European food". LOL.
Neither Cain nor DC have ever faced the kind of hostility he'll face when fighting a Swede in Sweden in such a high profile main event. DC would literally be reviled by everybody there. He would be viewed as Satan when fighting Gus in Sweden.
That's why DC won't fight Gus in Sweden or anywhere else in Europe where Gus is heavily favored by fans.
Hey Jesse, think about something very carefully sir...
By giving up the fight with Gus he's basically abandoning his ability to contend for the title until AFTER Gus fights Jon Jones again......which means DC is literally waiving his title fight for another 9 months until 2015 sometime.
You believe he's doing that just because he thinks Europe has no fucken saunas or food suitable for cutting weight? (which in DC's case is probably Taco Bell or McDonalds)
You don't think the UFC would have special European staff on standby ready to assist DC with his food for the final week leading up to the weigh ins? And you call yourselves MMA journalists?
Let's explore DC's kidney excuse in detail.
The reason he had kidney trouble during his previous weight cut was because HE DID IT DANGEROUSLY WRONG and tried to CUT TOO MUCH WATER FROM HIS BODY which is why his kidneys ran into trouble.
Newsflash: Kidneys don't like it when the body loses too much water. That's not exactly a secret.
Guess what? Kidneys generally don't get into trouble just because a man who weighs 225 or 230 pounds tries to diet down to 211 pounds safely and slowly over the course of months.
In fact, common sense should tell you that a 6 foot man weighing 211 pounds poses no serious problems for the average person's kidneys. Just look at a basic height and weight obesity chart.
Where are you MMA Journalists? Still hiding under the covers?
Guess what? If DC slowly diets down to a safer weight (closer to 205) then he'll have no fucken trouble making weight in Europe or anyplace else. He won't encounter the same danger he encountered as a wrestler because he won't have to scramble at the last minute to lose too much water weight and stress his kidneys.
Yes......it means he'll have to slowly and safely give up some muscle mass but that's just the price of staying healthy. He can't expect to retain the same muscle mass and have a smooth weight cut.
And yes.......he'll need to safely diet down to a weight much closer to 205 than other fighters are accustomed to doing. But guess what? That's just the price he must pay to ensure his health.
And with Dolce by his side I'm sure he could do it easily, even in SWEDEN.
So the main issue isn't FUCKEN SAUNAS or a lack of TACO BELLS and MCDONALDS in Sweden.
It's really a question of DC being too much of a pussy to face down hostile Swedish fans before, during and after the fight.
That's the scoop Mr. Holland.
DC is a pussy. He's got no balls.
And MMA journalism is dead.

whats your preffered knot of choice when you tie off the anchor? clove hitch? butterfly? Ive seen some tie a figure 8, but the 8 will fold over on itself if loaded from both sides. opinions?
If I'm dealing with a bomber 2-bolt anchor, I like to tie a clove hitch on one bolt for the second to jug on, and then a figure eight on the other bolt. Leave a bit of slack between the two knots. -Scott
1st: i will make a $money$ powerpoint with a couple double length slings. 2nd: tie an 8 to the powerpoint for hommie to jug 3rd: with the rest i tie a clove for me. i like the clove because it's fairly easy to resize if i need more slack to get into the haul bag etc. plus, when you're resizing the knot you don't have to untie/unclip it. making it safer. i think tying a butterfly powerpoint is cool too, but it eats up a bit more rope, making it harder to link pitches etc.
Bunny ear figure 8, or whatever you want to call it. You can adjust for the angle of the line you are fixing. If you are going to tie a figure 8 then a clove etc, may as well just tie ONE knot and be on your way. This is a standard way to anchor whilst shortfixing. When you take off, clove a screamer on one of the bolts, making sure you have sufficient slack to the main anchor point. Don't Fall.

Master Resource Update: 1Q-2011 (a blog for now and the future)
MasterResource is nine quarters old, having started at year-end 2008. Our total views have surpassed 825,000. We have a loyal, sophisticated readership whose comments add substance to many of the posts.
Our "free market energy blog" has attracted talent from across the nation and across disciplines–nearly a hundred bloggers in all. In particular, the growing national movement against industrial wind turbines includes a number of very informed citizens who choose MasterResource to publicize their issues and research.
Our concept is different from most blogs. With one in-depth post per day, we have created an open book of mini-chapters, creating a scholarly resource and a historical record for the energy and energy/environmental debates. We now have more than 300 categories–the index of our ever expanding book.
Most of all, our content will most assuredly meet the test of time as future scholars review MasterResource to understand the intellectual arguments and political discourse. Just Google the energy term and "MasterResource" to get to the posts of interest.
Major Themes
MasterResource has become the 'go-to' blog in a number of key areas:
- Resourceship, not "Peak Oil". Our bloggers explain how and why the ultimate resource of human ingenuity in market settings allows the supply of 'depletable' resources to expand, not contract, even in the face of record usage.
- Sustainability. Our bloggers explain why government intervention in the name of 'sustainability' is the real threat to energy affordability, availability, and reliability.
- Subsoil Privatization. Our bloggers explain why expanded reliance on capitalist institutions of private property, voluntary exchange, and the rule of law is the key to a better energy future for all, and particularly for the 1.4 billion who do not have access to modern forms of energy.
- Energy Density. As scholars from Vaclav Smil to Robert Bryce have documented, the best energies are the ones that can produce the most power at the least resource cost. The future belongs to the efficient, and oil, gas, and coal are the prime-time consumer-driven choices.
- Renewable Energy Realities. Our many bloggers from the front lines of the windpower debate, in particular, have documented how wind fails the cost, reliability, capacity, space, noise, and health tests. Taxpayer savings and deficit reduction, anyone?
- Fallacy of "Green Jobs". Our bloggers have applied Economics 101 to explain how and why consumer-driven jobs are sustainable versus government-created bubble jobs.
- Climate Realism, not Alarmism. Chip Knappenberger has given MasterResource readers a reliable scientific voice on what the science does and does not say about the human influence on climate.
- Historical Understanding. Many of today's energy debates are informed by often neglected studies and experience of the past. W. S. Jevons in his 1865 book, The Coal Question, basically refuted the notion that renewables could power the machine age. He also explained the paradox of how increasing energy efficiency can expand total energy usage, not decrease it.
Also, MasterResource keeps alive the memory of Julian Simon (1932–1998), the scholar who changed his mind about Malthusianism after reviewing the data and became a guiding light for realism and ensuing optimism.
How can MasterResource improve? Would you like to post with us? Comments welcome!

How much of the activism of the Progressive wing of American Christianity (including some Orthodox participants unfortunately) in the current budget battles is nothing more than grabbing its piece of the federal pie before the welfare state collapses? Progressives like Jim Wallis and others routinely use the moral imperatives of the gospel to justify their Progressive moral vision. They conflate the imperatives into Progressive ideology to persuade the unsuspecting that the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Progressive ideology are one and the same. They are, at heart, statists who refuse to examine the soul stultifying and character destroying dependencies that statism fosters. Welfare states are dying because this albatross of good intentions is not economically viable. Welfare states can only exist on borrowed money. Once the bills come due, as they have for America and all the countries of Western Europe, change is inevitable and necessary. "Christian" Progressives understand this … [Read more...]

Church of Greece to State: Keep Priests on the Payroll
Source: MSN News | January 17, 2011 ATHENS, Greece - Greece's powerful Orthodox Church urged the government in the crisis-hit country on Monday to relax tough hiring restrictions so it can put more priests on the state payroll. The government last year paid the salaries of 10,800 priests and church staff — who are technically civil servants — out of 757,500 "permanent employees" in the public sector. In 2011, Greece will only hire one new state employee for every five leaving, as part of its euro110-billion (US$146-billion) international bailout loan agreement. And most of those positions will be taken up through mandatory transfers to reduce staff at loss-making state enterprises. The church's governing Holy Synod said Monday that it would request a "limited number" of new priests to cover pressing "operating and pastoral needs." Church leader, Archbishop Ieronymos, urged Greek bishops to make charity programs a priority in 2011 to meet the needs from a surge in … [Read more...]
Death Warrant of Ancient Christianity
If American liberals and neo-cons get their way and America invades Syria, the Syrian Christians will be persecuted and forced out of their ancient homeland. Source: Real Clear Politics | Philip Jenkins Ever since the wave of popular movements started sweeping the Middle East, Western media have rarely found much good to say about the authoritarian regimes under attack. Few observers deny that the last generation or so of Arab rulers were indeed greedy despots, and it seems desirable for Western powers to intervene as forcefully as they can on behalf of what are commonly billed as pro-democracy movements. The arguments against intervention are obvious enough, most obviously that it is much easier to begin a military intervention than to end it, while we rarely have much idea about the political character of the supposed democrats we are trying to aid. But in one case above all, namely Syria, debates over intervention have missed one overwhelming argument, which is the … [Read more...]
Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco "emphatically denies" support for California bill
The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco corrected the misleading press release put out by California Church Impact that claimed Orthodox support for a bill sexualizing science education in the California public schools. We thought the Metropolis was not aware their name was being misused in this way and once it was brought to their attention they clarified the record. STATEMENT FROM METROPOLIS REGARDING CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 48 The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco has been a member of various faith based organizations with the purpose of witnessing and sharing the teachings of our Christian Orthodox Faith. Membership in such organizations, however, does not mean that the Greek Orthodox Church accepts or supports initiatives that may be taken by a particular organization. Recently, the Los Angeles Times reported on an initiative being encouraged by the California Council of Churches. Since that article has been published, other news agencies have … [Read more...]
Assassination attempt on Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople prevented
March 9, 2011 - 17:12 AMT 13:12 GMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Turkish police have prevented another assassination attempt on Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I, according to the Austrian catholic news agency. The Turkish police have arrested two suspects aged 17-18. The assassination attempt was planned in the Fanar district, where the residence of the Patriarch is located. According to representative of the department for foreign church relations at the Russian Orthodox Church Igor Yakimchuk, Turkey is a huge country and there are extremists. Expert of Carnegie Moscow Center, professor Alexey Malashenko believes that, most likely, Islamists are engaged in the assassination attempt, who are much more radical compared to incumbent Prime Minister of Turkey Erdogan. With respect to the assassination attempt, several Turkish papers referred to a Catholic priest, Armenian journalist Hrant Dink and three protestants, including a German missioner, who were killed … [Read more...]
The USA and the New World Order: A Debate Between Alexandr Dugin and Olavo de Carvalho
AOI Observer reader Fabio Lins has a keen interest in political philosophy and culture. Occasionally he sends me links of debates happening elsewhere which always prove interesting and timely. Yesterday he notified me of an online debate between Russian nationalist Alexandr Dugin and conservative Brazilian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho. I asked Fabio to write an introduction included below. The current globalization process is like the multi-headed hydra. Unlike the mythological monster, it seems to have no heart which, once slain, would stop it. Internally, American conservatives feel and see it as the wave of liberal ideologies and policies that threaten to choke and destroy the very roots of the country. Externally, many conservatives from their own cultural perspective see in these same liberal global forces an expression of American imperialism. These same forces which fight American conservatism are understood as tentacles of American conservatism itself. The … [Read more...]
Egypt: The Realist Scenario
It's Jimmy Carter all over again. Source: Chronicles of Culture | Srdja Tifkovic The image of the "democratic revolution" in Egypt, as constructed by the mainstream media in North America and Europe over the past two weeks, evokes the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989. The BBC World Service, NPR and other Western media outlets bring us young, articulate, lightly-accented demonstrators who talk of democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law. Hosni Mubarak is presented as a latter-day Erich Honecker, heading a corrupt and sclerotic regime on the wrong side of history. The image is attractive but inaccurate. The unrest may be brought under control by Mubarak's loyalists working in tandem with the military, or it may lead to one free election resulting in the establishment of an Islamic republic, but it will not produce a Western-style democracy. Political Islam, embodied in the Muslim Brotherhood, is the only well organized force capable of supplanting the … [Read more...]

Peter and Helen Evans: Bishops wont act? Ask for a blessing, then do it yourself!
Peter and Helen Evans edit the Politics and Prayer website. We read comments on this blog and also hear people complaining that "the Bishops should proclaim..." a Day of Prayer or March for Life or any number of semi-public events. Let us suggest that we don't have to wait for a proclamation. We don't have to wait to be told what to do. Various cities around the United States are having their own March for Life, people regularly dedicate a day for prayer and fasting or hold vigil outside an abortion clinic, and invite anyone who wants to pray - even non-Orthodox - to join in. When you think about it, you probably don't want the Church council, or any other committee, involved to water down the event. Therefore, organize the event yourself, and then ask for a blessing. We Orthodox can stand in church, the public square, in municipal buildings and witness our faith, then ask for a blessing. We do not have to wait for a proclamation, just ask for a blessing. In the coming … [Read more...]
Gordon, Will, Krauthammer on the libeling of Sarah Palin
The reaction of the Progressive left to the Tuscon shooting was calculated to obliterate the moral credibility of conservatives. The Progressives are running scared because the moral intimidation of the kind we saw over the last few days is just not working anymore. It used to be that screaming about rights, fairness, oppression, all the shibboleths calculated to shut down debate worked. Today everyone is tired of it. The larger target (is that "hate speech"?) is the Tea Party and, in the Progressive mind, its leader Sarah Palin. Progressive attacks on Sarah Palin are vicious and cruel. Progressives thought that if the moral onus of Tuscon could be shifted unto her, they get a twofer: Palin leaves and Tea Party supporters are implicated in her culpability. There's a joke making the rounds: How do you know you have won an argument with a Progressive? When he calls you a racist, homophobe, or T-bagger. That's the kind of talk that gets the Progressive enraged. Their days of … [Read more...]

Sylvester- Thomas Evans says Sylvester Police officer Beth Pundavela and Worth County deputies Leonard Davis,II and Larry Whisnet used excessive force during his arrest last month.
He says Davis threw him to the ground while Pundavela drove her knees into his neck and upper back. Evans was charged with obstruction when he refused to let officers search his mother's house.
"My muscles were sprained, and then they said my nerves were damaged.Then they said my shoulder had some pulled muscles and tendons in it," Evans says.
"I talked to the chief and the sheriff on Friday and I received the letter on Friday also. Their accounts of the incident reports do not substantiate what I got in the letter from the Prison and Jail Project.
City Manager Danny Lucas says there will be no investigation unless Evans files a formal complaint. Pundavela was one of three officers who arrested Herman Jackson in February. He later died in their custody.

"Not Your Mother's Shakespeare (but still enjoyable"
There seems to be a run of Shakespearean adaptations in fiction of late. In addition to this one, I recently reviewed 'Iago' by David Snodden, and 'I, Iag'o by Nicole Galland. 'Macbeth: A Novel' is the collaborative creation of British crime writer A. J. Hartley and David Hewson, a professor of Shakespeare who writes thrillers in his spare time. Although I'm not a reader of either genre, I am a Shakespearean and know the play very well. I wasn't quite sure what to expect of 'Macbeth: A Novel'; after all, no one can improve upon Shakespeare, and many of the adaptations I've read are either laughable or maddening. So I was pleasantly surprised and even enjoyed this one--perhaps particularly because I listened to the audiobook, wonderfully read by Alan Cumming, who for once was free to revel in his glorious Scottish accent.
Hewson and Hartley stick pretty closely to the bare bones of the plot that we are all familiar with, but they take free reign in filling in the "offstage" details. For example, the first third of the book puts readers right in the middle of the civil rebellion and Norse invasion that have been going on as the play opens. We see Macbeth and Banquo fighting in the field; we see Macbeth's capture of the rebel Macdonwald, the blow-by-blow fight to his bloody death preceded by a verbal exchange that prefigures Macbeth's own treacherous acts. Shakespeare, on the contrary, perfunctorily has messengers deliver the news of Macbeth's victories to King Duncan. Back on the home front, the authors give Lady Macbeth a name of her own (Skena). They provide an answer to the oft-asked question, "Where are Lady Macbeth's children?" And they give us plenty of chat between the couple that helps us to understand the powerful forces between them. Interior flashbacks also flesh out the Macbeths' individual biographies, and frequently we're made privy as to what is going on in their minds. Hewson and Hartley imaginatively--but not fantastically--fill in the blanks: why exactly Macbeth turns on Banquo, what happens to Fleance after his father's murder, who the weird sisters are and how they came to be witches, what daily life is like at Macduff's castle before the assassins arrive, and more.
I won't be recommending this book as a classic, or even a must-read. The style is probably better suited to crime novels and thriller: a bit too 'colorful' and 'overwrought,' shall we say, for my taste. Yet it fits just fine with the story of Macbeth. This was a fun piece to breeze through at the end of the semester, which is always a stressful time for me. If the idea of a thriller-crime novel version of Macbeth, read in a charming and authentic Scottish accent by a fine actor, appeals to you, I say, go for it!
"Well, that was terrific!"
Thoroughly engaging, beautifully narrated, fresh take on the Macbeths. I recommend it highly! Now I'm going to listen to the play . . .
"Fantastic all around - The BEST"
This is without a doubt the best way to introduce Shakesper - I've read seen just about every interpretation of Macbetha dn this is by far the best. Makes it come alive, somehow even makes it relevant to today.
A great novelized version of Macbeth. As the author notes in the afterward, this version is just that -- a novelized version. Well worth listening to, the reader's voices and cadence are right on.
"absolutely excellent"
I've read the Shakespeare original (and liked it), but this version breathes a whole new life into the characters. Everyone has a history and secret desires and fears, so their tragedies become much more poignant. lady macbeth was particularly transformed in my mind, and the weird sisters were much more sinister. the narration was fantastic, and exactly right for the task.
"Chilling work"
I had a visceral reaction to this work. Alan Cummings brings the listener into the action. And that action is horrible and human and sad. The dismay of Lady Macbeth at the consequences of her actions and the evilness of Fergus stood out to me. Highly recommended.
Love to read. Mysteries, history, romance, biography, current events, science, classic fiction. No vampires. No zombies. No self-help. Find me on GoodReads and BookLikes.
"An interesting experiment"
You always remember your first--and way back in 5th grade, Macbeth was my first venture into Shakespeare. Miss Weil loved Shakespeare and she introduced her class to the magic. Macbeth--in iambic pentameter-- was our 5th grade play. It is still my favorite Shakespeare. That said, I was just not sure how I would react to a novelization of the story.
Surprisingly, I stuck it out to the end-- and surprisingly, I didn't hate it. I didn't love it entirely either but that was because there were places where I just didn't agree with Hartley and Hewson's interpretation of events and motivations. However, I learned a lot about the historical background of the play and perhaps got a better idea of what life was like in those times. In short, it gave me a better understanding of the play.
Nonetheless, the novel stands on its own; its a good read. You don't need to know Shakespeare's play to get through the story. You don't have to be a Lit. major to enjoy it. In fact, you might even be better off not arriving with so much baggage.
Finally, kudos to the narrator Alan Cummings--and to the person who chose him. The book may have been written in prose but it read like poetry. Not since I heard Lisette Lescat read the 'No.1 Ladies' Detective' series have I heard such a perfect pairing of material and reader.
"Wow! Buy this, you'll want to listen to it again!"
This is great! The narrator has a beautiful accent that perfectly fits the characters yet is easily understandable. It's Macbeth in modern English so there's not all that Elizabethan English to plod through that normally detracts from being able to understand the plot. Not historically accurate, one must remember that Shakespeare was writing to please Queen Elizabeth I so his plays were designed to degrade Elizabeth's enemies which would include the Plantagenets and the Scots. With this in mind, this is a beautiful listen. The lilting prose practically becoming poetry in the process.
Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.
"Macbeth is alive."
Great concept delivered by Hartley and Hewson. And it really works so well. Macbeth simply comes alive. The reading is just perfect. The land, the personalities, the ' history' unfolding are all full of life, that it is almost like a hologram where the whole story is being enacted in my living room.
"I get it now!"
Over the years I've tried several times to get into Shakespeare's version of this most interesting tale. I just couldn't do it. (Sorry Professor Hartley, I was an economics major.) This book is well written and superbly narrated. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Men at Calipatria on general population yards A, B and C can show the same courage as the hunger strikers, who are honored around the world, by pledging to respect the Agreement to End Hostilities and stop all fighting and riots between racial groups. The Agreement must continue to hold within all California prisons and unity needs to spread across the state. Only then can justice be won.
January 27, 2014
The positive response to this idea has been quite remarkable. The agreement to end all group hostilities that our reps reached and made public must be upheld. Reach out to your family and friends and urge them to educate themselves about, and become involved in, the democratic process, to vote according to their interests and, when the time comes, forward a contribution to our PAC in whatever amount you can.
October 31, 2013
Merely days after the suspension of the historic California Prisoner Hunger Strike of 2013, which lasted an unprecedented 60 days and saw record prisoner support across the state, the task of tactical and strategic re-assessment is well underway. We are gearing up for the upcoming battles in our overall struggle to abolish the state's practice of long-term solitary confinement in both the political and legal arenas.
September 5, 2013
Representatives of the Short Corridor Collective at Pelican Bay State Prison's Security Housing Unit have based their decision on a meeting with fellow prisoners at the prison, the growing international condemnation of California's practice of solitary confinement, as well as the commitment of California Senate and Assembly Public Safety Committee Chairs Loni Hancock and Tom Ammiano to convene a series of hearings in response to the strikers' demands that would "address the issues that have been raised to a point where they can no longer be ignored."
July 10, 2013
"We've tried everything at our disposal. A hunger strike is our last alternative. We can't do this alone; we need you, the public, to support us by writing to the governor and other representatives. We need you to express to them that you do not want your tax dollars to be spent on unjust and inhumane policies, but to fund other things like your children's education."
February 27, 2013
On Monday, Feb. 25, the California Assembly's Public Safety Committee, chaired by Assembly Member Tom Ammiano, held a hearing on the state's Security Housing Units (SHUs). The hearing comes 18 months after the committee held a similar hearing prompted by a three-week long hunger strike in June 2011 that involved thousands of California prisoners across the state. Monday's hearing focused on the implementation of new CDCR policies and considerations of their appropriateness.
September 12, 2012
Prisoners in Pelican Bay's SHU have announced a push to end all hostilities between racial groups within California's prisons and jails. The handwritten announcement, sent to prison advocacy organizations, is signed by the PBSP-SHU Short Corridor Collective. The statement calls for the cessation of all hostilities between groups to commence Oct. 10, 2012, in all California prisons and county jails. It also calls on prisoners throughout the state to set aside their differences and use diplomatic means to settle their disputes.
August 1, 2012
SHU prisoners have been subjected to years of prolonged segregation. CDCR's method of releasing gang segregation prisoners back to the general population via the new Security Threat Group policy is going to replace the six-year inactive policy, but in name only.
January 19, 2012
Last night 17 of us were bussed from Pelican Bay State Prison to Corcoran. The ride down here was beautiful. Being able to see the ocean, the trees and all the people going about their daily lives, it was really worth it. After all, it has been over 20 years since I last took a ride outside of Pelican Bay's SHU.

News: Wyclef Jean Exposes Lauryn Hill? "She Led Me To Believe That Baby Was Mine & I Couldn't Forgive That"
Monday, Sep 17, 2012 10:46AM
Fugees frontman Wyclef Jean is airing out his dirty laundry this week in a new autobiography titled Purpose: An Immigrant's Story which undresses his true romantic relationship with estranged group member Lauryn Hill.
Based on an excerpt, Jean claims Hill manipulated him into believing he impregnated her at the start of their careers.
It's no secret that ex-Fugees members Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill had a bad falling out, but Wyclef's new claims may make you see the situation in a completely different light. In his new autobiography, Purpose: An Immigrant's Story--which hits stores tomorrow--Clef says the initial crack that broke up The Fugees began when Lauryn made him believe that her first born son was his, when it was actually Rohan Marley's (son of Bob Marley). Wyclef writes, "In that moment something died between us. I was married and Lauryn and I were having an affair, but she led me to believe that the baby was mine, and I couldn't forgive that." He continues by adding, "She could not longer be my muse. Our love spell was broken." (VIBE)
Last July, Wyclef stressed his distanced relationship with Hill when asked for a reaction to her recent publicized tax problems.
"Actually, you know, I ain't speak to Lauryn. It's been a minute. I heard about the little drama she got in the news, wishing her better on that. You know? Actually, I was on the phone with Pras earlier. It's all good. Nothing but love for the Fugees." (Montreality)
The female singer's ex-husband Rohan Marley recently hinted at Hill giving them reason to split.
Rohan Marley says that his relationship with his ex-partner Lauryn Hill is "good" when it comes to the welfare of their children. The businessman and son of reggae star Bob Marley, admits that things aren't perfect between him and the Doo Wop (That Thing) hitmaker, with whom he has five children. But he says that since their split last year, after more than a decade together, they both remain good parents to their children. "[Our relationship] is good as in... in terms of being a mother and father to our children, it's good," says Marley, who is now engaged to Brazilain supermodel Isabeli Fontana. "It's not as perfect as one might want it to be. It's just the way the road went." Speaking of their highly publicised break-up, the 40-year-old co-founder of gourmet coffee company Marley Coffee, added: "As a man, there are certain things I don't accept, and it just so happened that I didn't accept certain things [in the relationship]. "It doesn't mean she's [Hill] a bad person or I'm a bad person. It just didn't work out." (Voice-Online)
Last summer, Lauryn issued a statement addressing her intricate relationship with Rohan.
"Mr. Marley and I have a long and complex history about which MANY inaccuracies have been reported since the beginning," the statement reads. "To speculate without the facts can only cause people to form WRONG conclusions. We both value privacy and for that reason defend and preserve our right to it. Contrary to the numerous reports, Mr. Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to both of us. Thank you for your concern and I appreciate all of the well wishes regarding the birth of my new son." (Statement)

I don't know about you guys, but is there anyone else out there who thinks they should absolutely not make this trade? I understand all of the benefits Amar'e Stoudamire brings to the table, but is he really worth all of this?
Like most of you, I've heard all of these Amare rumors going around and the Warriors sending Phoenix Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright, Marco Belinelli, and Kelenna Azubuike for Amar'e and how we are supposed to get that low post 4 we've been looking for who rebounds and scores on the block, something we've been begging for for years as fans.
However, does anyone realize that we are giving away our most consistent rebounder to do that? Andris absolutely inhales rebounds and Kelenna and Brandan get their share too and I think you could see Wright get even more if he played healthy for a season. Fact is, Amar'e has never average 10 rebounds per game for an entire season IN HIS CAREER. NOT ONCE. In fact, if you look at their career rebounding numbers, Amar'e doesn't even have a 1 rebound lead over Andris in their RPG (rebounds per game 8.7 to 8.2 for career) Even to another point, Andris protects the ball much better than Amar'e; career numbers have Amar'e at 2.6 TOPG Andris's 1.1. Let's not forget also, Amar'e is coming off another major surgery and has a slight injury tag and would be looking for a big deal heading into his 30's soon. Andris won't be 24 until most of the way through next season and hasn't had a single major injury.
Not only that, but then you'd be throwing the Suns another 14 PPG and 5 RBP from Kelenna, 8 PPG and 4 RPG from Wright (who hasn't turned 22 yet, though is fighting the injury prone tag right now) and even another 8 PPG from Belinelli who I think could be a great asset off the bench, if not starter a la Manu Ginobili for the Warriors if given a chance; It might be a stretch, but wouldn't be surprised if he turned out along those lines.
So total they would be sending the Suns 42 PPG, 22 RPG from 4 players, only one over the age of 25(Kelenna) with only one on a contract paying any significant amount of money (Biedrins) and two players who have shown they can more than handle themselves as players in this league (Wright and Belinelli)
I can't believe the Warriors actually offered this trade because if they did and Steve Kerr turned it down he should be fired. The Suns "rebuilding" process would be started and finished with this trade with the talent they would receive.
Andris steps in to replace Shaq as a big man who rebounds and gets up and down the floor to better suit Alvin Gentry's pace.
Wright gives them another big to fill the floor with great length and athleticism to start or back up Louis Amundson.
Kelenna steps in to fill the opening left by Grant Hill at either the 2 or the 3 and fills their need of a spot up shooter who can create his own shot as well.
Marco gives them a 1-2 combo guard that they could really use since they don't have a solid back up guard who can distribute the ball and score some as well since Dragic isn't there yet and Barbosa doesn't pass enough.
I can't believe this deal hasn't happened from the Suns side, but I am very grateful from the Warriors. I am glad that Phoenix is hung up on Stephen Curry not being in the deal because it allows us to keep the talent we have that we could have foolishly gotten rid of. The Warriors are a talented team, it's just a matter of sorting through what talent they want to keep and what they want to get rid of. They need to decide if Monta is their player to build around or not so they can figure out where to go with their glut of guards. Decide if Stephen Jackson is your starting SG or PF or in between depending on Nellie's planning. Figure out if they can trade Maggette or if they will keep splitting up very small minutes to Anthony Morrow, Kelenna, Marco, CJ Watson and Co. Decide if they like Wright as much as many do and if they want him around. Figure out if Anthony Randolph is a 3, 4 or 5. Last but not least, figure out where Stephen Curry is even going to play.
If Riley can actually figure this out and bring in a low post player who gives the Warriors some more grit, defense, rebounding and energy to play in their uptempo offense, then great. I just hope he uses some discretion along the way because I am one Warriors fan hoping Amar'e stays away from the Bay Area given the costs.

Backstage Centre, Purfleet, nominated for prestigious Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors award
9:00am Thursday 27th February 2014 in News
THE £13million Backstage Centre in Purfleet has been nominated for a prestigious design award by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
The centre, part of the High House Production Park site, in Vellacott Close, has been shortlisted for the community benefit category at the East of England Awards.
The hi-tech centre, which was opened last March by musician Jools Holland, will be going up against 13 other entrants, including the Royal Pavilion at Southend Pier.
The centre is designed to provide a large-scale space to allow for rehearsals, creative development and technical training.
Pop star Leona Lewis used the centre to rehearse for her world tour last year and the cast of Towie have used it for filming.
South Essex College is another client of the centre. It's used the sound stage, recording studio and training rooms for its students.
Pauline Tambling, chief executive of Creative and Cultural Skills, which provides the rehearsal space at the Backstage Centre, said she was delighted to be shortlisted.
She said: "We had hundreds of people here last week for the civic awards, and it was said then that the more people who use this building the more people in Thurrock will have the opportunity to use it.
"This nomination is especially important because it's here to inspire the people in Thurrock to be able to aspire to the best jobs."
Category winners will be announced on Thursday, May 8 and go forward for the national prize.

There were also faint signs of an upturn in registrations so far this year. "Is this a green shoot. Maybe. But forward bookings are still looking fairly horrendous."
