Simple truth requires us to state that A. B. Simpson does not rate high as a writer of hymns. The effort on the part of some of his admirers to place him along with Watts and Wesley is simply absurd.
A hymn, to be great—to be a hymn at all—must meet certain simple requirements. 1. It must have literary excellence. 2. It must be compact enough to be sung easily. 3. It must express the religious feelings of the Universal Church. 4. The music must have dignity and reserve.
On none of these counts could Mr. Simpson's compositions qualify. His poetry lacked literary finish. The central idea might be poetic, but his craftsmanship was not equal to the task of expressing it. His singing heart sometimes betrayed him into attempting to sing things that simply were not lyrical and could not be sung. The virtue of brevity also was lacking in most of his songs. He sometimes rambled on into eight and ten verses, and if by happy chance he got through before the eighth verse he was sure to append a chorus that would run down over the next page. The minister in him overcame the poet, so that when he attempts to write a song the sermonic division is apparent at once. With few exceptions his songs are simply sermons in verse, the whole thing being there before us in plain sight, the introduction, the various "points'" and the conclusion. But it is in the music that his songs suffer the most. A few of his compositions can be sung, but the most of them can be negotiated by none except trained singers. The transitions are too abrupt and the range too great for the ordinary congregation.
There can be no doubt about it, Mr. Simpson wrote too much poetry, or at least too much of it has been published. He could produce good strong, if ordinary, verse, and it is to be regretted that so much got into print which is not only very poor but is certainly far below what he was able to do at his best. In rushing into print with certain of his casual poems his friends have done him no small disfavor. Much is said there in bad verse which he could have said in beautiful prose at a great saving to his reputation as a writer.
"Scorn not the sonnet," wrote Wordsworth, "with this key Shakespeare unlocked his heart." "The less Shakespeare he," replied the forthright Browning. The less Simpson for some of his poetry. Only a big man could live down such a failure. And he has done it triumphantly.
After saying all this I would yet confess that hardly a day goes by that I do not kneel and sing, in a shaky baritone comfortably off key, the songs of Simpson. They feed my heart and express my longings, and I can find no other's songs that do this in as full a measure. Of his songs—there are 155 of them in the old Hymns of the Christian Life alone—only about three have attained to anything like wide popularity, and not above a dozen are heard even in the gatherings of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. Yet it is my sober judgment that Simpson has put into a few of his songs more of awful longing, of tender love, of radiant trust, of hope and worship and triumph than can be found in all the popular gospel songs of the last hundred years put together. Those songs are simply not to be compared with his. Simpson's songs savor of the holy of holies, the outstretched wings of the cherubim and the Shekinah glory. The others speak of the outer court and the milling crowd.
David de Bruyn currently pastors New Covenant Baptist Church in Johannesburg, South Africa. Since 1999, he has presented a weekly radio program that is heard throughout much of central South Africa. He also blogs at Towards Conservative Christianity.
And those few outstanding hymns are? I was so involved in this well written article and then so let down by the lack of any suggestions of Simpson's best.
Tozer didn't tell us :)
In the same chapter, though, he mentions several hymns which, to him, were Simpson's summations of CMA doctrine and policy. They were: "Jesus Only," "The Same Yesterday, Today, and forever," "Himself," "Christ in Me," "The fullness of Jesus," "I Will Say Yes to Jesus," "I Take, He Undertakes," "Nothing Is Too Hard for Jesus," "Launch Out," "Go and Tell Them," "To the Regions Beyond," "Jesus Giveth Us the Victory," "I Am Living in the Glory," "Even as He."
Whether Tozer saw these as examples of better hymnody, or not, I don't know. What is rather telling is that in Tozer's own Christian Book of Mystical Verse, he did not include anything from Simpson.

Hey guys,
I wrote another piece on a boxing match and the last two boxing pieces that I wrote were so well received that I thought I'd bring this one over too! Hope you don't mind clicking the link and all feedback is welcomed!
'Iron' Mike Tyson has led a remarkable and turbulent life; from being crowned the youngest heavyweight champion in history, to spending time in jail for sexual assault. Fortunately the man who has come out the other end of such a trying and confused life is as pleasant and mild mannered as anyone you could hope to meet. Age has a way of putting a misspent youth in perspective just as a lifetime in the ring will sap the anger and tenacity out of even the most bitter and spiteful of us. I am never here to judge or praise a man for his personal choices and spiritual development however, I am here to show you where fights are won and lost.
I have covered the technique featured today once before when I first began writing, but I wish to return to it with my larger audience and my more developed writing ability. A shift is a punch wherein the stance you are stood in is changed. This could be the "cheat punch" that I am so fond of - throwing the left straight or hook while steppingforward with the right, or it could be a switch step as Robert Fitzsimmon's famous shift was, or it could be an actual hop to an angle as the one we are examining today is.
After the jump we look at Mike Tyson's signature shift.
This was Tyson's second bout after his return from prison and while his power was still evident he was far from the terrifying young man who won the title. His head movement was slow and laboured, and his footwork wasn't much better. Tyson was no longer with trainers who knew what had made him great and was buying into the hype of his own punching power, as so many knockout artists end up doing. Where Cus D'amato, Teddy Atlas and Kevin Rooney stressed "elusive aggression", this Tyson was simply about going after his opponent.
Sugar Ray Robinson noted in his excellent autobiography that no matter how hard he tried to knock out opponents during his last comeback, he couldn't get them to hit the deck. It was when his wife pointed out that he wasn't using his "bag of tricks" - in other words the footwork and elusiveness that had made him great - that Robinson realised his punching power was only one part of the equation. Trading one for one with an opponent is simply giving him chance to rise to the occasion. You will land one on his guard and he will land one on yours - and you'll be in a rut for the entire fight.
Despite Tyson's reluctance to use his "bag of tricks" and his attempts to brawl with Buster Mathis, he won the fight using a trick that he had used since his early days - his shift. At 0:25, 1:55 and 2:17 you can see Tyson perform his shift. He squares his hips to Mathis, then brings his rear foot up to where his lead foot is and stepshis lead foot out to his left side - turning to his right to face the opponent in a southpaw stance. This technique is a beautiful example of taking an angle and how an angle can completely change the path of a head to head brawl.
This example is from the end of the fight, Mike uses the technique to get his back off of the ropes, but moments before at 1:55, Tyson had used it in a combination in the middle of the ring which was a much cleaner example of the technique but failed to floor Buster Mathis.
The genius of this technique is that it places Tyson in position to land his right or left hand freely, while Mathis is in no position to fire until he turns to face Tyson. In the meantime Mathis has to worry about the heavy shots that Tyson is throwing from his safe position.

Time for a break, Cathy! You've lost your mind!
And what is that sticking out of your mouth in the second panel?
Good morning, Cathy clan!
she's chewing nails???
lol She's holding the screw in her mouth so she won't lose it. She is her own worst enemy.
I agree, ncalifgirl. She's sabotaging her chance for desk happiness.
Good morning, Cathy clan!
And how much will you have to pay the assemblers? She'd have been better off buying a nicer desk and having it delivered!
Teresa – loved your story yesterday about the wheelbarrow. Will have to remember that tactic.
Good afternoon, Cathy Clan.
I actually enjoy doing things like this. Bought a glider a couple of weeks ago, put it together in a couple of hours by myself. It isn't rocket science.
Bought a wooden roll-top desk a few years back. It was so heavy the guys delivering it complained all the while.
@GretchensMom (yesterday)
concerning the comments about Pro status:
I don't have one but I've always been able to read and comment daily on Go Comics just fine without it. Is that something that's about to change . . . get a PRO account or you won't be able to read and/or comment??? And if you don't provide G.C. with your credit card number [which they keep "on file"], how do you then pay for the PRO account? If that's a change they're definitely about to make, I certainly hope they give us enough warning so we won't get a really unpleasant surprise when it happens!!!!! :-(
I went Pro after seeing GoComics first 'scare tactic' a little over a year ago. The credit card you pay with automatically goes on file so they can charge you without asking you when the next year rolls around.
I pitched a fit and they took it off file. Then, a couple months ago, I ignored the scare tactics and am still able to comment.
BUT I can only see back as far as about 1 month's worth of comics.
After the two of them trying all day to get this desk built and it's still in a thousand frustrating pieces, I'd be more inclined to go along with Irving on this one if I were Cathy! It's getting late. Isn't she just as tired, hungry and thirsty as he is? She should give up, go out and just let the guys Irving found put it together in an hour tomorrow and simply be done with it already! Besides, I can't imagine she's going to be needing it to do work with tonight anyhow so why not?
Hi, rgcviper!
Teresa: Thanks for the info. But what exactly were Go Comics "scare tactics" that made you go PRO to begin with? I've been a non-paying member since 1/21/09 and I've never received any messages of any kind from them except the few rare occasions I've emailed them about something and they sent me a computer-generated reply in return. Otherwise, nothing whatsoever from them one way or another about my non-PRO status.
Hello and Happy Thursday, fellow "Cathy" fans. Hope everyone had a really great day today!
Way to sound like a four-year-old, Cathy. [Eye-roll]
Seriously—I gotta find a way to start buying [eye-rolls] in bulk.
HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.

Drupal Registration Types?
Scenario: I'm about to work on a Drupal 6.x project and I want to place a check-box designator on the registration form which will tell me if someone is of a certain type of professional worker. If they check that, I would then like to make their registration attempt be required to be verified by a site admin (i.e. - if Anonymous registers and places a check on that designator, the admin would get an e-mail indicating such whereby the admin then needs to verify whatever the admin needs to verify based on their submitted values, albeit a phone number, real name, e-mail address; whatever.)
How could this be done?
I think I know how to add the field to the registration form that I need but how would I create the condition whereby an e-mail response is sent to me (the admin) if and only if a registration attempt has that designation value submitted as TRUE?
Any insight into this is very appreciated and please let me know if I'm too vague on any details here... Lots of this is still developing in my mind as I think more and more about it.

Pseudo code wise something along the lines of the below. This is only only pseudo code though meant to show the general concept.
PHP Code:
* @implement hook_form_FROM_ID_alter
mymodule_form_user_register_alter(&form,&form_state) {
* Add your checkbox
$form['mycheckbox'] = array(
'#type'=> 'checkbox',
'#title'=> 'The Title'
* Add custom submit handler
$form['#submit'][] = 'mymodule_user_register_submit';
* Custom submit handler for user registration form.
function mymodule_user_register_submit(&$form,&$form_state) {
if(isset($form_state['values']['mycheckbox']) && !empty($form_state['values']['mycheckbox'])) {
// send the email
The only code I hate more than my own is everyone else's.

Sorry for being late to the party.... September has really had me hopping at work being the first week of everyone getting back to work around here.
Have you thought to use rules?
I haven't investigated but it should be a rule or an action or even rules, actions with a helper module... I did something like this a few years ago, I'll see if I can find my notes.
I think it would require some experimentation to figure out if you set all registrations to require moderation and then allow those without the specific checkbox to get in automatically and send the hello message or whether you allow all to register without moderation and then use rules to identify that checkbox and hold them back if it it the specific value. I'm leaning towards the latter.... I think it would be easier to do and more fluid.
I'll see if I can dig up my notes... It was an experiment and not exactly what your after but I built a helper that worked with rules or actions, I don't recall which at the moment and it never went into production so I don't really recall.

oddz, I'll give your idea a try but I do you think it's possible with "Rules"?
Andrew, I did in fact check out that module--think I might try that first so that I don't have to make a module (not that oddz's idea isn't in my ability level or something--just didn't want to go down that route if I didn't have to.)

No Science, Please. We're Anthropologists.
"While I was down in New Orleans last week at the American Anthropological Association meeting, hanging out with some cool scientists, rumors were flying every which way that the AAA leadership was attempting to create a new "long term goal" statement that would actively purge references to science from the AAA's stated mission. Supposedly the AAA executive board had decided not to actually attempt this purge through a straightforward change to the mission statement, because that would require a vote of the membership. Instead they were said to be doing a sneaky end-run to ditch science."
I am no scientist or anthropologist. I am an artist. My role is either meaningless to the other two schools of thought or positioned carefully in between. I never understood the science of anthropology. Instead it seemed better suited to work outside the confines of science so this is a pretty interesting development (and admission).

When a person recalls the good old days, he's really thinking about his bad, young days
I was a horrible kid growing up. As the oldest child, I remember getting into a load of trouble by either cutting my hair, getting reprimanded for talking too much in class and one day instead of going straight to the babysitter's house right after summer school, headed across the street for 15 cent ice cream at Thrifty's. My parents were livid. My youngest brother had passed away earlier that year and put the kabosh on any adventurous spirit I had left in me.
Looking back at it, the best ice cream wasn't at Thrifty's. It was at Oasis Ice Cream Parlor which was housed in the same shopping center.
Not much has changed in the shopping center. Thrifty's is now gone replaced by Rite-Aid, and the Safeway is now an Albertson's. But 30 years later the ice cream at Oasis is still homemade and the flavors are still delicious and unique. Corn and rice ice cream? Sure, I'll try it.
For people looking for something fancy, this is not the place. Ice cream is served in plain white styrofoam cups. Instead you get luscious ice cream at reasonable prices. On any given weekend, the place has a constant stream of business which is always a good thing for any small, family-owned shop.
A single scoop of ice cream is $1.35 up to $4.00 for four scoops. Did I say it was homemade? Other unique ice cream flavors are trail mix, walnut, and cucumber with chile. But the standouts are the paletas, the Spanish version of popcicles.
Oasis' paletas are priced according to whether they are cream ($1.65) or fruit paletas ($1.55) and individually wrapped in a small plastic bag. Cream flavors include chocolate chip, rice, strawberry — reflecting a lot of the same flavors as their homemade ice cream. The natural bars are more unique: guava, tamarindo and cantaloupe. Everything is made "Michoacan-style" meaning that all the ingredients are fresh. So strawberry ice cream comes from actual strawberry fruit and no fake fruit flavoring.
An added benefit? These bars are dense. While other bar tend to have a lot of air mixed into them, these last a long time. Popsicle biters like me have nothing to worry about because these paletas survive past five bites.
Making the trip to Oasis is a bit of a trek — approximately 20 miles from downtown San Diego. But if you take in a movie afterwards at one of the county's drive-in movie theaters, the trip can be well worth it. I hear that drive-in movie theaters are the next big thing…

hi darlene -hey, i know exactly where oasis is! i remember when albertsons was still safeway too! i also remember thrifty's. It was .25 cents for 3 scoops back in the day! i liked the one with the malt ball crunch (forgot the name of that flavor but it was my fave).
that place is right next to st. charles church where my husband and his family went to church…that's the church where we got married too.
great post on oasis and what they offer. i remember reading rave reviews of this place somewhere and even though we go to st. charles every sunday, never thought of going to oasis for some dessert! now we're definitely going to go! their prices are really cheap too!
the southbay drive in is one of the last few remaining drive in movies in san diego. on sundays it's a swap meet. i remember my husband and i went to our first (and last) drive in movie experience at southbay – this tells you how long ago it was, "Wayne's World 2″ (circa 1993). we ended up leaving and got our money back because we couldn't get good reception on our radio.
September 1, 2010 3:55 PM
oops, i meant drive in movie theatres…
September 1, 2010 9:37 PM
hi darlene – actually matthew modine did graduate from Mar Vista High. not sure if his parents owned the drive in though. his mother recently passed away a few years ago. i remember seeing the obit in the sd u-t and he was listed as a survivor. matthew modine is also in the sweetwater alumni hall of fame. i think they did away with the program, but he's in it.
pause…(checks the internet): okay, here's the link:
looks like he's a '77 grad. he's 10 years older than me.
for fun, i looked up wikipedia's entry on matthew modine and it mentioned that his parents used to manage drive in theaters. so maybe it's possible it was that one, but who knows how accurate wikipedia really is, right?
ha ha – I LOVE TOP SECRET! one of the best movies EVER!!!! the fireplace! peter cushing's eye! Val Kilmer when he was still young and hot!
my old hood is down near DEL SOL! Orale! Your school was our school's rival!
I think we're going to try Oasis this weekend after church. : ) If I do, of course, I'll blog it!

I bite my popcisles too! I never have enough patience just to lick it. Those paletas sound amazing.
Anonymous permalinkSeptember 2, 2010 11:15 AM
Imperial Beach – the home of Matthew Modine and paletas! Maybe he should make a visit back to his old stomping grounds and promote Oasis.
September 6, 2010 9:53 AM
Go to the drive-in! So much fun and so cheap! We go to one of the few remaining from time to time. $7 per person for a double feature? Not bad, especially if you're seeing something like "The Other Guys," where state-of-the-art theater technology doesn't matter.
W (in Switzerland) permalinkSeptember 8, 2010 9:06 AM
Great memories thanks for sharing. One correction: the supermarket in the plaza was originally an Alpha-Beta, before becoming Lucky's, before transforming to its now current identity of Albertsons.

Thomasville--It's the fourth year veterans and others have gathered at the Thomas county courthouse. Sheriff Carlton Powell says the ceremony grows every year, and he's glad it's become a Thomas county tradition to pay tribute to our veterans.
"Quite often they're right around us and we don't recognize them. I mean, they don't brag about it and they've done their duty and they're still out there preserving our country, working every day and supporting those who are fighting for us," says Powell.
Veteran Bill Raiford adds, "I think its good that we all come together who are veterans and also the public supports this very well."
Thomasville and Thomas County Central high schools ROTC programs and Brookwood School's choir all participated in this morning's ceremony.

Ominous H'View move atop standings
HARBOUR View moved ato the Red Stripe Premier League standings for the first time this season after cruising to a 4-0 win over promoted side Cavalier at Harbour View on Sunday.
John-Ross Edwards (20th minute), Jermie Lynch (38th), Damion Harwood (55th) and Ranique Muir (77th) netted for the home team, who are now tied with Sporting Central and Arnett Gardens on 16 points, but lead on goal difference.
Harbour View coach Vin Blaine said his team is slowly getting into form and he now has an eye on the first End-of-Round Final.
"We were unfortunate in a couple of our first games.. or we would be far ahead right now, but we've been consistent and our aim now is to make it to the End-of-Round Final," he said.
Cavalier started brightly and had a couple of half chances in the opening 10 minutes, but Harbour View gradually settled and after Edward fired them in front from Robert Williams' cross, the visitors offerred very little.
Seven minutes before the break, Lynch made it 2-0 when he redirected a Kemeel Wolfe cross past David Mitchell in the Cavalier goal, but the custodian — who also blundered on the first goal — must take the blame after appearing to hold the ball initially, then letting it slip from his grasp.
Ten minutes into the second half Eric Vernan delivered a perfect cross for Harwood to head home at the far past, but the striker injured himself against the post and had to be replaced.
His replacement, Muir, sealed the win with a fine strike with 12 minutes remaining, slamming home from six yards.
With no points from their last four games and sitting second-from-bottom with six points, coach David Laylor, said while Cavalier are still searching for the right combinations of players, the finishing has been letting them down.
"Today we just didn't score our goals and they scored their goals... but we're not fully in our strides and we're trying to fix it... We're working to find the right blend," he said.
Harbour View — Michaud Barrett, Eric Vernan, Christopher Harvey, Rondell Morris, Robert Williams, John-Ross Edwards, Romario Campbell, Kemeel Wolfe (Kimorlee Brissett 66th), Evan Taylor, Damion Harwood (Ranique Muir 58th), Jermie Lynch

HINTON, W. Va (WVVA)-- Take a trip to the Downtown Hinton Historic district and right away you will begin to experience the charm of the Ritz Theatre.
As entertainment seekers step into the lobby they'll notice all the usual amentias of a movie theatre, but in a fashion reminiscent of the 1920's.
Manager of The Ritz, Shelia Allman said, "Well it's historical for one thing. And when we renovated it, we really didn't change the way that it looked."
One way The Ritz hasn't kept up with the changing times, is the pricing. "We are in a small town and we know that we possibly can't compete with the larger cities. And we just want people to come in and enjoy the movies," adds Allman.
Families deals are offered to help make the movies more affordable. After all, who can pass by that freshly popped popcorn? Which means you'll also need a soda, and maybe even a little something for your sweet tooth.
Built in 1929 the Ritz theatre offers visitors a step back in time. While still offering movie goers the experience they've come to expect. And although you'll be relaxing in a seat that managers say has probably been in place for the past 80 years, the digital picture and sound system is all new.
"We pride ourselves on customer service and giving people the best experience they can have at a movie theatre." With all new renovations and a commitment to customer service, The Ritz Theatre will be around for another 80 years.

Guest Star: Rhymefest Gives Thumbs Up On Little Brother Break-Up
Thursday, Apr 8, 2010 3:00PM
For this week, Grammy-winning rapper Rhymefest sat down with SOHH to talk about everything, from what happened to the Chi-Town movement to his thoughts on Little Brother putting out their final album together. In this fourth installment, Fest weighs in on seeing Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh part ways.
It's like, to me, they have to go off and explore different avenues and transitions of them as artists and as men. Little Brother is like a child that's ready to leave the house. It don't mean "Ah man, it's over!" People thought 9th Wonder leaving Little Brother was a moment where they had to say, "Oh man, they're done." And then they came out with so many dope albums after that.
So now, they have to figure out who they are as individuals. And at the end of the day, you never know. How many times did Michael Jordan retire? [laughs] And then they find that their life experiences can bring them back together but regardless, I totally understand what they're doing because I'm getting ready to go through a transition myself. ---as told to Senior News Writer Cyrus Langhorne

I feel like a lot of people around the nation want to see some kind of redemption for Alex Smith in the big game this weekend. I'm not sure how Niners fans feel about this. Kaepernick is clearly an elite talent who is one his way to joining the upper echelon of NFL quarterbacks.
What will Alex Smith's weekend really look like? I'd like to think of this short story as a peek into the future:

As my 72-year-old friend (now 73) @42bkdodgr said yesterday, "Rep. Cantor, start acting like a 'mensch' and stop being a 'putz'". He's asking the impossible:
Rep. Eric Cantor has proven again he doesn't live in the real world. Following the earthquake on the east coast, where the epicenter was in Rep. Cantor's Congressional district, he assured his constituents that Congress "will find the monies" to assist earthquake victims in his district.
Their was one caveat, that "those monies will be offset with appropriate savings or cost cutting elsewhere". Rep. Cantor basically said the same thing regarding funds that will be needed, resulting from damages caused by hurricane Irene.
So in time of need, Rep. Cantor is willing to hold emergency disaster relief funds hostage unless cost cutting is also done.
Seems Eric Cantor is a bundle of contradictions, or as I like to call him, "Hypocridiot-O'-The-Day. Via First Read:
Now, Sam Stein at Huffington Post points out that, in 2004, Cantor actually voted against a bill that would have done exactly what he's now calling for:
"[A] bemused Democratic source notes that in October 2004, Cantor voted against an amendment to an emergency supplemental bill for disaster aid that would have "fully offset" the cost of that supplemental with "a proportional reduction of FY05 discretionary funding" elsewhere. Funding for defense, homeland security, and veterans was exempted from the proposed cuts. But the amendment, introduced by Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), would do precisely what Republican leadership is proposing to do now."
Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring chalks it up to the ballooning national debt for the apparent change of heart.... "We are living in different times."
And Eric is living on Planet Nice Try.

Fans who looked forward to Wednesday's UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs. Miller got their money's worth, whether via attending the event in Atlantic City or justifying the cable bill required to get Fox Sports 1. It was really a fun night of fights that should be the standard for how a UFC card should look on cable TV. You don't HAVE to have a title fight as the main event or even a #1 contender bout as long as you can get a good mix of "action fighters" and legitimate contenders/top 10 fighters spread throughout the show. Six main card fights, six finishes, and many many bruised bodies.
Anyway, we've got some matchmaking to do. I'm taking charge of this feature before handing it back to Kyle McLachlan after this Saturday's UFC Fight Night in Ireland.
Donald Cerrone. Prior to joining the UFC, Donald Cerrone hadn't won any of his MMA fights by KO or TKO. Since then? He's knocked out Charles Oliveira, Melvin Guillard, Adriano Martins, and Jim Miller. That is serious serious business. Cerrone is must-see TV, and hopefully the ratings indicate that he is at least a television draw, because he's one of the most entertaining fighters in the sport. I'm 100% for a five-round main event fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov. And yes, the fight has to be five rounds, and the winner should get a guaranteed title shot.
Jim Miller. As a fan of Jim Miller, I've been skeptical about his standing as a top 10 lightweight for quite some time, especially after Pat Healy choked him unconscious. It's not an outright decline, but the Healy fight is pretty indicative of him no longer meriting consideration as a top-tier lightweight. He absolutely will continue to mangle anyone outside the top 20, provide a tough fight for the 8-19 range and win most of them, but lose comprehensively to the elite of the division. Miller is a gatekeeper at this stage in his career, and I think he'd be a stern test for someone like Michael Johnson (pending the severity of Johnson's recent injury).
Edson Barboza. You may have noticed that Barboza kicks really hard, and Dunham is the 4th different opponent Barboza has beaten in the UFC via head kick, leg kick, or body kick. His loss to Donald Cerrone in April and near-loss to Danny Castillo has me very wary of giving him a major step up in competition, but there is clearly no shortage of opponents who can fight him. The winner of Jorge Masvidal/Daron Cruickshank would be excellent for a PPV opener, a Fox card, or a Fox Sports 1 co-main.
Evan Dunham. Remember when Evan Dunham was one of the next big things in the UFC? After a 4-0 start, those days are well and truly gone. Dunham has always been at least a reliable action guy even when he was considered to be a future contender, and I think the UFC recognizes that, so his job is not in serious jeopardy. If Anthony Njokuani hasn't been cut yet, I vouch for that scrap.
Rick Story. Fairly simple win over an opponent who was overmatched on paper. Story hasn't really beaten anyone of note since he bested Thiago Alves over three years ago. It's hard to vouch for him to be fighting established contenders when he's repeatedly lost to them, but he's currently a great gatekeeper for emerging prospects. One of those prospects is the undefeated Ryan LaFlare, and I'd like to see a Story vs. LaFlare showdown.
Leonardo Mafra. Story was a nightmare match-up for him made worse by weighing in at 165.5 lbs and looking sluggish after the first few minutes and having no answer for Story when on the ground. Give him fellow TUF Brazil fighter Daniel Sarafian on a Brazil show.
Joe Proctor. It's a bit of a comeback win for Proctor, who arguably lost the first round and then mesmerized everyone with his nasty hematoma near his left ear. He's 3-1 in the UFC but hasn't really done anything "outstanding" to make a name for himself. James Krause looks like a nice next step for the TUF 15 alum.
Justin Salas. If I'm being totally honest, I really didn't think Salas was 3-3 in the UFC. All of his losses have been via stoppage and while he protested the TKO vs. Joe Proctor, apparently he was still wobbly when angrily pleading his case. It's probably back to the Fight Pass purgatory for him against someone like Charlie Brenneman, who is indeed getting another fight in the promotion.
John Lineker. Make weight? Check. Throw a lot of punches with intent to destroy ribs and liver? Check. Get another TKO win? Check. He is a whirlwind of violence and with improved takedown defense and refined striking technique he can be a real force at 125 lbs for years to come. However, he lost a clear decision to Ali Bagautinov earlier this year and still isn't reliable enough as far as making weight, so let's pump the breaks on contender talk. As much as I'd like to see him face Brad Pickett or Ian McCall, the winner of that fight could be fighting for the title at the end of the year. So the next option is Dustin Ortiz, with a backup plan of Kyoji Horiguchi.
Alptekin Ozkilic. With a full camp behind him, his striking looked improved as he was able to catch Lineker cleanly multiple times -- Lineker isn't the hardest target to hit -- but during the 2nd round it felt like a matter of "when" and not "if" he'd be stopped. He's 1-2 in the UFC so a match-up with Shane Howell fits the bill for "loser gets cut".
Lucas Martins. Hopefully Martins is comfortable at featherweight because he's been in 3 weight classes in 4 fights. The finish was crisp and helped salt away a fight he was on the verge of winning 29-28 in all likelihood. While I know some people are averse to Winner vs. Loser matchmaking, I'd like to see him fight Akira Corassani.
Alex White. Yeah, if you want to keep your chin up in the air forever you're probably getting knocked out. The Estevan Payan win was quick, and I was hoping the bad habit was just UFC jitters or something. Turns out his defense needs some serious serious work, because offensively he wasn't really that bad and was able to at least snag round 2. I'm thinking he gets someone like Mark Eddiva next.
Aljamain Sterling. He's a real special talent in a division desperately craving up-and-comers. Beating up Hugo Viana in his 2nd UFC fight goes a long way towards making him top 15 caliber. A fight with Yves Jabouin can give him that "seasoned veteran" type of badge where a win should be enough to get him ranked.

PNF stretching - hamstrings and quads/hipflexors
rpm500: @CT: when doing Depth landings, do I need to land on my forefoot, backfoot or the whole foot? And I'm doing them now without weight, but do you recommend a certain amount of extra weight to be used? And how many reps should I be aiming for? Thanx!
Christian Thibaudeau: @ rpm500... (1) land on the forefoot first then there is a slight weight shift to the middle of the foot when you stabilize the landing... (2) NEVER add weight for depth landings... and do not jump from more than 1.15m... these are VERY stressful and should not be underestimated even though very little fatigue is accumulated. I would not recommend more than a TOTAL of 6-8 depth landings PER WEEK, and never for more than 4 weeks in a row. Understand that this is the most intense form of jump training and should be used only by advanced individuals with a lot of explosive training experience.
@CT: thanx! I was doing them every day haha so I'll cut hem out. You recommended doing jump drills and isometric holds for the hamstrings. So if I want to train them almost everyday w/o burning up is it oke to do Box jumps and isometric GHR holds?
BTW: didn't do any eccentric focused hamstring training for a week or so and my mobility increased drasticly!
I also found out that when I'd active/PNF stretched my quads/hipflexors my mobilty increases with 10cm/3,9in and if I also do active/PNF stretching my hamstrings it will improve with anoter 5cm/1,8in
Notes on Melatonine: it works reel good to fal asleep, but it makes my inefficient the next morning.. Gotta keep it as a back-up supplement when my day/night rhythm is really a mess. Next order will contain Z-12 again!
morning jumps: 3x box
-weighted jump 1x

Total intraset box jumps: 8x
Been sick for since tuesday.. high fever whole day long, but today is much better. Still feeling lightheaded and no energy. Did some fomerolling and mobilitywork. My body feels a bit better now. I found some things out while doing my mobiltiy stuff:
-After foamrolling my calves I could bend over 8cm extra (3.1 in)
-After that: releasing my diafragra increased it with some extra 6cm (2.4 in)
-After that: active stretching the hamstings did some extra 3cm (1.2 in)
-Active stretching my quads/hipflexor didn't improve mobility in bending over, same with calves.
Eerlier I found that active stretching would increase my mobilty, so I quess that releasing my diafragma did the same thing...
Last monday I had ACL surgery and it went well. The pain isn't that bad so after the first day I ditched the painkillers. The only thing I'm taking for the 'pain' is curcumin 3x 2caps pd. I was releashed from the hospital when I could bent my knee till 90 degrees with a CPM motorslide.
Wednesday was my first physio. He was really satisfied how my knee looks and he gave me some exercises and we bent my knee till 100 degrees. I have to do the following 3 times a day:
-8x10 Stiff Legged Raise (focusing on pulling the knee in extension for VMO)
-8x10 Side raise
The side raises were to easy, all the activation/warm-up work in the past for the glutes paid off. So I'm not doing these anymore. Maybe with a small band around my upper legs will really hit the glutes.
The Stiff Legged Raises where the first time tough as hell. Thursday I could only do 3 sets of 8 and after that there was no more strength in my leg to finish one proper rep. Rest of the day I focused on contracting the VMO like a 1000 times.
Friday morning I did with easy 8x10 Stiff Legged Raises and while I was sipping 2 scoops of SWF in the second set I felt an great contraction in my VMO and after that it was really easy. Maybe the pump from SWF the mind muscle connection got restored. I also had physio and we bent my knee till 110 degrees. He also massaged my hamstring and damn thats painfull. When he touched my nerve I got a burning painfull sensation in my right foot. Strange...
The exercises that I have to do from now on are:
3x8x10 SLR w/o a pause between reps
3x8x10 lying hamstring raise w/ straight leg
Saterday morning the SLR were good but I could only 3 sets of lying hamstring raises (LHR).
In the afternoon I did another 8x10 SLR and 8x10 LHR. The LHR felt good this time.
After feeling that the pump from 2 scoops SWF improved my mind-muscle-connection I'm really looking forward to see what 2x SWF and Anaconda does with a full dose of Indigo. My order is on his way so next week we will find out!
This is what I'm taking everyday to improve rehaab:
3x2x curcumin
3x3x cissus
2x2x rhodolia
1x spoon of omega3
While training my hamstrings went well, I get a huge reaction in my knee. It's cramping up a bit.
For the first time I had a good night sleep of 6-7 hours. Probably because I had a pillow under my knee so it was a bit bent. The pain is there though, the physiotherapist warned me for this. The blood and fluid will go down in your leg and it wil hurt. True story, this is the first time after surgery that I feel the need for for painkillers. It sucks but I have theh most important exam of my study next tuesday so I think of sticking to them till then.

BTW since yesterday I'm back on Indigo. Doing 2 weeks full dose (3x4 caps) and after that 4 caps pre workout.
Just did a small workout:
1-leg supported iron cross, really focusing on maintaining the locked scapula and shoulders trough the complete ROM. Felt awesome! Did 1-5 reps
Between sets I did slow band pull-aparts horizontal at shoulder height.
Finished with a 2 min OH bar rotation hold. (bar = broom because I don't have a bar @ my room)

What an awesome contraction in my lats!!!!!!!!!
While my body felt great yesterday I had a terrible night. I just couldn't sleep. After 2 hours of sleep I woke up and was awake, this after 4 caps of Z-12 and 7 caps of ElitePro. . I felt also damn hot. But my mind was up and running. After 3 more hours of being awake in bed I get out. Took Brain Candy and noticed something strange: IT CALMED ME DOWN! Didn't expected that to happen...
When evaluating yesterday evening there could be a couple factors that contributed to my bad night:
I took my last dose of Indigo late in the evening, waited for 60 minutes and had 500g quark, a banana and a bowl of rice. When I woke up after 2 hours of sleep I was damn hot, maybe it was the famous Indigo heat?
After dinner I had a big cup of coffee, before braincandy this wasn't a problem for my sleep. But I guess it activated my mind in the night and thats why I was up and running after only 2 hours of sleep.
And last but not least: because of my acl-reconstruction I have to lay on my back. I'm a notorious belly sleeper so rolling over after waking up and get back to sleep wasn't an option.
Something else: first I planned of doing 2 weeks of full dosing Indigo (to get the indigo benefits again after a long period of not taking indigo)and after that switch to 4 caps per day. But I changed my mind now I'm on full dose for a week. I'll do 3 weeks of full dosing and after that do 7 weeks of 6 caps. After that I will go to 4 caps.
Iron Cross Power Holds and band pull aparts (start overhead and finish below as CT described yesterday in the spill)
The Iron Cross holds are getting better and better and the band pull aparts where good for 3 reps.. after that I lost it..
Feeling dehydrated for a couple of days and had a killing cramp in my hamstring. I've taken a double dose of ElitePro yesterday and consumed more water, so hopefully it won't happen again.
Iron cross is going pretty well! Probably in a week I can hold it at the lowest position. Really loving the ring exercises. Wish I could do levers but my pull up bar is attached at the wall so theres no space to do this.
Knee rehab is going pretty well. I can bend my knee more than 90 degrees with my muscles and the therapist is very pleased. I can ditch one crutch and start walking with only one, this feels really scary and I'm terrified that it goes wrong. I've never been so carefull with my body.
Just finished a great workout:
-Foam rolling and mobility
-Band pull aparts OH
-5x3s BB OH rotation
*Med. ball trows 1-3
*Power hold: iron cross 3-6s
*Band work (real slow)
*Ring Dips
-band pull aparts OH
-120s BB OH rotation hold
Did 5 rounds and then I felt that performance was decreasing so I quit
Just did a short ring iron cross hold session with some band work in between. The hold is feeling good, but my left shoulder is getting tighter and tighter... gonna need some ART soon!
Peri workout nutrition:
15 minutes pre workout -> 1x SWF w/ 0.5L
in training -> 2x Anaconda w/ 1.5L
*foam rolling / pec stretch
warming up: 3x [shoulder dislocatons / ring face pulls / band pull aparts]
Complex 1:
*Power hold iron cross
*Med. ball. throw 1-3
Complex 2:
*Ring face pulls 6-10
*Band pull apart
Bar (broom) overhead rotation 120s
Did face pulls for my shoulder and it felt a bit better so I guess it worked.
When I did Complex 1 I felt getting more violent each time. Decided to put the 'explosive' work after the ring power holds because I read in research that Posttetanic potentiation (PTP) and High Frequency intitial pulses (HFIP) shifts the force-velocity curve to the right so you can produce more force with more speed.
Started this day with a couple rounds of Iron Cross power holds and bandwork. After that I went to the physiotherapist to train my leg. And when I was back home a did a couple of rounds of overhead band pull aparts/ facepulls/ Ring flye holds.
Rehab update: walking with 1 crutch now and it goes very well. First I had a 'plop' at the lateral side of my knee every time I did a step. That was probably due to bad walking pattern (didn't used my hamstring to bend my knee) and a bit of fibula luxation. Next week i'm gonna try to walk without a crutch, really looking forward to that :).
Yesterday evening I took a bath with Epsom Salt. I'll do this tomorrow another time and sunday also. I hope it will help a bit to get the swelling away above my knee.
The next couple of days I'm at my parents home so no ringwork for me. I'll focus on my exercises for my knee and also overhead band pull-apart and overhead bar rotations
I'm also finishing my full dosis protocol of Indigo and will go to 6 caps. These couple of days I will try to make use of the full dose so with every session I will consume 1x SWF and 1x Anaconda
1st session:
*[5x circuit]
- OH band pull-apart
- OH bb rotations (9-12s for awareness)
- Knee rehab exercises (stiff leg raise with 1 kg/ side raise with 1 kg and backward raise)
- 3x Knee extending start @ 45degr.
- 7x Knee bending start @ 45degr.
It's time for another post... gotta keep posting but I'm so freaking busy!
Started with some foamrolling, after that a pec stretch and shoulder dislocations.
4x6 band assisted pistol squat only left leg
- intraset = 1 left leg jump
- 4x30s band overhead pull apart
- 3x3s barbell overhead rotation (no extra weight)
- pumpwork = 4x30s band pulldown w/ holds
4x Power hold Iron Cross 3-6s
- AR = bicep curl barbell w/ fat gripz
5/4/3/2/1 wave = ring dips
- AR = bicep curl bb w/ fatgripz
3x hanging leg raise
10-15s chest lever roll hold
- AR = push up
120s hold overhead barbell rotation
120s hold right leg extension
Physiotherapy went a lot better last week, hope it will continue that way. I switched from 3 to 2 days a week and my knee is reacting a lot better to it.
Last 2 times this is what I did:
[1] 4x10-12 partial squats (because there s still fluid in my knee and bending to 90 degr. will irritate)
AR = core work
[2] 4x8 one legged leg-press
AR = core work
[3] 4x 8-10 stiff legged deadlift
AR = core work
*if my knee hurts the pain will go away after a couple steps walking on my toes... so I'm thinking about or doing that with extra weight, or start with extension power holds...
*Cutting out the lunges is feeling a lot better
*Maybe do some hamstring pump work before the squatting? Have to be carefull with adding stuff because I must know what exactly causes the pain/inflammation in my knee
Training is going really well. Last week I had physiotherapy on thursday and friday and both days were tough weightlifting sessions. And today I did a training on my own. Its nice to do some weightlifting stuff again with my legs.
*10 min on a bike (warm up for my knees)
*Extension power hold: 7x 4-6s with 110 lbs.
-hamstrings/glutes: glute bridges on a swiss ball. 4x10-15 reps
-calves: standing BW calve raise with hard contraction on the top. 4x10-15 reps
*Stiff-legged deadlift: did some experimenting with weights... grip was failing at 198 lbs. but it felt real good. Next time 7/5/3 wave and start with 132 lbs.
-AR = calve pumps BW 10-15 reps
*4 sets of 1-leg leg press pump sets 10-5-5 w/ 121 lbs.
*120s lunge holds
* 15 minutes biking
Got back from my first 'real' leg workout since months. My physiotherapist is on holiday so I can train on my own for two weeks :) This is what I did: (1)Leg extension pump work (2)1-leg leg press w/ 1-leg hamstring cable curls (3)RDL w/ 1-leg calve raises (4)power extension hold (5)Lunge hold 120s (6)20 min. biking with low rpm, so it would be more of a eccentric-less exercise.
Did noticed that my leg that had surgery needed more reps to get the same feeling compared to my good leg. So instead of doing pumpwork 10-5-5, I would do 10-10-5.

Zainab has talked about having writer's block before on this blog but surely enough, everyone experiences their own block where they're stuck and can't even get started. Starting anything can be a scary process but you need to do something in order to get started.
Freestyle writing is a great way of exercising your brain to get out of that block by letting out all your ideas and emotions. As a singer, I also write my own songs and use freestyling when I'm experiencing writer's block. In fact, I am doing this right now. There are a couple of ways you can go about this.
A) Freestyle Writing
You can try this exercise when you feel that mental block about starting anything. It doesn't require any heavy thinking and you will find yourself doing a lot more than you normally would. All you need to do is write whatever you want to write on a piece of paper or in a notebook, whichever one you prefer. Just keep on writing until you think you're done or until your time is up (if you're using a timer). For this exercise, Zainab and I challenged each other to see who could write the most in 10 minutes - and this blog post is a result of that friendly competition. The point of this exercise is to stimulate your mind and get your brain active.
B) Record and Rhyme
If you're looking to help you brainstorm and write something more creative, my brother and I use call the Record and Rhyme challenge. We use it as an exercise to find rhyming words without taking 15 minutes to come up with a single word. It's a fun way to to clear your mind from all the stress on starting a sentence, whether you're writing a song or just need a new approach to thinking about your task.
You will need:
- a voice recorder, just in case you miss out a word (you can even use your cell phone to do this)paper/notebook, to write down every word you come up with
- a partner (optional)
- a beat (it could be any beat you like)
- a timer
I prefer to do this exercise with a partner because it's easier but if you like a little challenge, then you can do it by yourself. After you have gotten everything you need, set the timer on for 60 seconds and have one person record and write down every word you come up with. Remember, every word has to rhyme! When you're done, do the same for the other person, then see who got the most words that rhyme.
Now that was just the first part of the challenge. Set the timer again for 60 seconds and you both have to write something using those words. The hard part is that the writing piece has to make sense. Whoever finishes first wins!
These exercises can help you who has writer's block and for anyone who needs to take a little break. It would also help with your writing skills and your grammar. Next time you find yourself stuck, try one of these two ways to get your thoughts and emotions moving somewhere where you can see them.

Campus Resource grades address the availability and quality of campus facilities and technology available to students. Grades are based on student ratings of the following campus facilities: athletic, classrooms, computer labs, dining, library, science and research labs, student center, and performing arts as well as the overall modernity of facilities. Student ratings of computers in the following areas are also contributing factors: availability of computer labs, campus tech support, free and discounted software, number of computer labs, printing, reliability of network, speed of network, technology in classrooms and labs, and wireless availability. Open-ended student reviews on campus resources and computers are factored in as well as whether or not it is necessary for students to have their own computers.
Choosing a college is an important decision that requires a large commitment of both time and money. Although school statistics, campus visits, and view books can be helpful to get acquainted with a school, they don't tell students what the school will really be like once they are enrolled. The only way to know that is to ask the current students on campus.
Our grades for each of the ranking categories are determined by calculating a total score for a school that takes into account three different factors:
These scores are then compared across all ranked schools for that topic and are translated into a final grade that reflects the schools performance in that topic as compared to the performance of all other ranked schools.
In order to gather the most accurate student rankings, we hire student authors at campuses around the country to administer an in-depth survey to their peers. The survey collects student opinions in the form of both multiple choice and rating block style questions for each of the rankings categories. Aggregate survey responses for each question are scored and weighted based on importance to that topic's overall grade.
Open-ended student reviews are assigned a grade by the respondent that corresponds to the nature of their review. Reviews scores also receive a weight based on importance.
Students are experts on the quality of campus life at their own school, but considering the large number of campuses in the US, they have little basis to compare the quality of campus life to that of other schools. To provide a basis for comparison, relevant data was used from the US Department of Education and as self-reported on school websites and in the Common Data Set. These values were also weighted based on importance to that topic's grade. If any of the criteria for a school were unavailable, a default value was assigned that neither increased nor decreased the school's ranking.
A total score for each school was calculated in all of the 20 topics based on the weighted values for data and aggregate survey responses. Although we incorporate outside data, our weighting system places heavy emphasis on student responses and reviews as we believe that these ratings provide the most accurate evaluation of each individual school.
Total scores in each section are assigned a grade based on a designated distribution so that a school's grade reflects its performance for that topic in comparison to all other ranked schools.

"I've been working hard. I got here two weeks early to Spring Training to start working. It's just the last few outings, things haven't been going my way. That's frustrating, because you're putting the work in and you feel good physically. Whether it's the delivery out of sync or you just don't make the pitches when you need to or balls fall in, it gets frustrating. [...] ""If I wasn't fighting for a job, despite the numbers, I would feel great about myself getting ready for the season," Miner said. "I'm throwing strikes. I'm feeling good physically. My pitches are coming around. It's one of those things where if your spot's guaranteed, nobody seems to worry about Spring Training if you don't get the results or your numbers don't look good." -- From Jason Beck's blog

About Our Conte Center
Our Team
The Conte Center for Computational Neuropsychiatric Genomics is a cross-disciplinary and multi-institutional effort based at The University of Chicago. Our team is spread internationally across seven universities that also include Northwestern University, The University of Illinois at Chicago, Harvard University, Stanford University, Columbia University, and the University of Haifa in Israel.
Our Sponsors
Our Center is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and the Chicago Biomedical Consortium.
Our Goals
The overarching goal of our Center is to identify the genetic and environmental factors that underlie psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, and child & adolescent psychopathology. Our team develops and applies drastically new mathematical and computational strategies to infer causal relationships among genetic variation, environmental variables and psychiatric phenotypes. We achieve this by combining the statistical power of large genetic and pharmacogenomics datasets, text-mining strategies and review of electronic medical records. Computational predictions are then experimentally validated using high-throughput biochemical, genomic and proteomic strategies, as well as the development of animal models.
Our Structure
The Center is defined by four key projects and three essential cores. Each project and core is spearheaded by a group of team leaders, who work with talented research associates, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, research staff and collaborators to ensure the Center's success in all aspects of research, training and administration.

If you are one who feels the special magic of autumn and winter in Tuscany, you'll no doubt be dazzled by the number of festivals and small special markets, all dedicated to the produce and gastronomic specialties of the area, through November and on to Christmas. We've checked out those who feature the specialties of the Mugello, of Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, and its immediate surroundings.
There's the heady aroma of roasting chestnuts, the crisp cold air that stings the nostrils and the dry reddening leaves that cover the roads… it's the fall, and we love it. In less than a moment it will be ChrisTmas: but now let's enjoy this moment of the year when everything seems suspended, and food is at its most appetizing and inviting.
And indeed, it's the season of the most interesting festivals and markets, celebrating the roasting and drying of chestnuts, of "necci" and "castagnaccio", of new polenta from freshly dried corn. Most special is the year's freshly pressed olive oil and its exhilarating taste (on our Facebook page, we show you the very steps along the way to the very best oil, from collecting to pressing to the New Oil itself, the finest oil of Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort).
In all the area around us, from Villa Campestri to Florence, easy to get to from Borgo San Lorenzo (it takes 39 minutes from Piazza Santa Maria Novella) autumn is filled with special events featuring the season's traditional Tuscan foods and products made with them. Many little markets abound in the days leading up to Christmas, a holiday in which we'll all soon be completely engrossed.
In Vinci this month, as every year, there was the Colors and Tastes of Montalbano in mid-November, featuring the great wines of the area, together with chestnut delights and fett'unta made with this year's new oil, accompanied by equally fresh wines of the season.
Near Greve, in Strada in Chianti, all during November and early December (Dec. 1-3) is the popular Sagra delle Frattaglie, or innards, off-beat food that includes tripe and lampredotto – a delicious Tuscan sandwich specialty made from innards – and other traditional foods, with lively local music playing all around.
In the historic center of San Godenzo, Christmas begins early. The festive Mercantino begins late November and continues through December, every day from 9 in the morning until 7 in the evening. There you'll find ideas for Christmas celebration and the Tuscan gastronomic specialties that accompany the holiday.
And finally, an international touch: The German Christmas market arrives in Florence itself, in Santa Croce Square. Famous for its little handmade wooden houses decorated for the holiday, the annual market goes on until December 16th, and features Christmas decorations and gastronomic Christmas delights from countries all over the world.

As the deadline to file taxes approaches, Illinois' Lt. Governor Sheila Simon is calling for more transparency on how income tax dollars are spent in Illinois.
She is pushing for the introduction of taxpayer receipts - itemized lists that show where taxpayers money goes and how it fits into the state's multi-billion dollar budget.
"When you buy groceries, you automatically receive a receipt outlining how your money was spent," Simon said in a press release Sunday. "Taxpayers deserve the same clear information on how the state spends their money on education, prisons and pensions."
The receipts, which would be available for those Illinois residents who file online, could be available by the next tax filing season - beginning January 2014.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Some Dougherty County school workers worry the system put them at risk of identity theft.
School officials say they shouldn't be concerned.
WALB learned that twice this week, the system sent employees an e-mail asking them for personal information, including social security numbers for a school system data base.
Both times, follow up e-mails were sent quickly recalling the initial messages and instructing workers not to send the information, but some employees had already responded.
School officials say they are almost certain no personal information got into the wrong hands.
"It was determined that our management information department determined there may be a better or more secure way of collecting the data so they ask this way be stopped and start a new way, I have the assurance of our management information folks, that while no information is completely safe the chance of this data being mined was very slim," said R.D. Harter, DCSS Public Information Dir.
We're told the information workers sent in went to a website hosted by Google. School system officials say that information has been deleted and the site dismantled.
They say they'll try again in the future to collect the information.

A field guide to classic arcade design
The traditional American arcade may have died out, but two designers have paid homage to a vital part of video game history through a series of illustrations. Michael Mateyko and Hans Thiessen are collectively Komboh, a design and illustration firm based in Calgary, Canada. In addition to "paying the bills" with work for publications and companies, Komboh also creates and sells artworks on its site.
The Amusement Field Identification Kit is a fun series of annotated diagrams of iconic cabinets. Classics like Donkey Kong, Pong, Ms. Pac-Man, and SNK's Neo-Geo MVS are all faithfully reimagined in the style of a field manual.

The everywhere arcade: How Google is turning location into a game platform
Every week, players of the global augmented-reality game Ingress receive an email that starts the same way. "Greetings Agent," it begins. "The global struggle for control of XM and human Mind Units continues." To an outsider, the emails can come across like low-rent basic-cable sci-fi. But to the game's thousands of hardcore players, they're a rallying cry to get out of the house and wage virtual war. After a year in beta, Ingress opens fully to the public tomorrowafter events in 14 cities that are serving as a kind of season finale.
Ingress can easily be seen as a lark for Google, which launched the game through its Niantic Labs internal incubator. But a year in, the bigger vision behind Ingress is starting to come into focus….

'Halo: Spartan Assault' arcade shooter coming to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 in July
Next month will see the launch of a surprising new addition to the Halo franchise — Spartan Assault, a top-down, twin stick-style arcade shooter coming to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices in July. Not only does the game move away from the first-person perspective the series is known for, but it will also include what Microsoft describes as a "unique fusion of touch and console-like controls for easy pick-up-and-play gaming." On PCs and tablets you'll be able to play with a mouse and keyboard in addition to touch.
The game is being co-developed by Vanguard Games and 343 Industries, Microsoft's Halo-focused studio that most recently launched Halo 4. Spartan Assault will feature some integration with that game, including the ability…

Impressive: Arcade Themed Post-It Stop Motion Video
Note: No screencap is actually visiting do the video justice, so simply view it. If you do not like it I'll let you pertain to my home and drill me but you've never seen me before so I will be offering you my roommate's description.
This is a super outstanding computer game themed stop movement animation made by Michael Birken using Post-Its. It managed 2,304-hours (the equivalent of 96 days) stretching over 11 months to develop and consists of 5,772 individual frames. I can't even fathom spending that much time on a project. Generally by the second day I have actually lost interest in whatever I was doing and I'm back on my usual feces at the bar discussing to the bartender why I'm back regardless of informing him just two days ago, "You most likely will not be seeing me for a truly, really very long time.".
Struck the jump for the video.

So It's Come To This: Beer Pong Arcade Machines
Because drinking beer is actually the least fun thing about beer pong, arcade manufacturer Bay Tek Games is releasing Beer Pong Master, a beer pong arcade game with zero alcohol. So…it's not really beer pong is it? It's just pong. Jk jk, just a waste of a dollar.
Normal beer pong mechanics are in play here, but you have a set amount of time (our machine was registered at 60-second games) to sink as many balls in the still-lit cups as possible. All 10 cups begin completely lit at the start of the timer, and once your first ball connects to the rim of any cup, the clock begins winding down until you've sunk a ball in every cup and dimmed all the lights, or 60 seconds has passed, whichever comes first
Man, this kind of makes me want to go play carnival games. Yeah, and I'm gonna win a big prize — none of those small or medium stuffed animals for me. I'm gonna be the guy carrying the GIANT BEAR. Fun fact: did you know that nobody ever actually wins the big stuffed animals at amusement parks and the people you see walking around with them are just employees paid to do that? Well that's true and don't even try to say you've won one or know somebody who has because that makes you a dirty liar.
Hit the jump for a video of the game being played.

Being back in the swing of the school year and the swirl of parents that comes along with it, I'm reminded of the rich community of moms around me: So smart, and so full of clever ideas. Just this morning I found myself swapping lunch packing tips with Kelly, a mother of two, challenged with a picky eater, and healthy snack ideas with Suzanne, whose kids have put the kabosh on dried fruits and nuts (raw almonds and unsulfured apricots can only take you so far). I was impressed with how both of these moms approach the task of nourishing kids.
Maybe it sounds mundane, chattering about the nitty gritty of feeding kids. But exchanging stories and recipes is a time-honored tradition of mothering that is often where get our best ideas. In this spirit of sharing, I'm hoping today's post will become a recipe swap of sorts. I'll start by offering up my most tried and true 15 Minute Fix: The dinner omelette. Then, I'd love to hear what you do for a quick meal….on those nights when you blow into the house late in the day and have to get supper on the table in a flash. So please share in the comments section of the post. I know how busy you are, so a quick description is all that's needed. With enough responses, I can write up our collective 15 Minute Fixes so we all can benefit from one another's ingenuity.
Now, onto the omelettes. I wasn't particularly keen on them until about 10 years ago when I had my first taste of a classic omelette over lunch at a teeny restaurant while on vacation in France. The omelette, tender, gently cooked, with just enough Gruyere to make you want more, was nothing like the overstuffed and overcooked ones I'd had all my life. I ate omelettes nearly everday for the remainder of the trip and returned determined to make a proper one myself. It's now always the first thing I teach in my cooking classes for kids, and is my "go-to" dish when the cupboards are largely bare and the dinner hour approaches.
A classic Fresh omelette, perhaps with a simple salad or vegetable to go with it, is a perfectly nourishing and satisfying meal. All that's required is a couple of eggs, a knob of butter, salt and pepper. Cheese is a nice addition, but not essential. A glass of white wine for the cook, never hurts.
I recommend a non-stick skillet with sloped sides (as opposed to hard edges) that is about 8 inches across, give or take. Good quality, organic eggs are worth the extra cost, and for cheese, I'm partial to sharp Cheddar and Gruyere, but use whatever suits you. I usually make two-egg omelettes, but bigger appetites may call for three eggs.
I'll talk you through the basic technique in the recipe below. Don't be discouraged if you don't nail it the first time around. Eggs are relatively inexpensive and it may take a few times to get it right. To help you along, I recommend this "how to" video by Jamie Oliver. It's worth the few minutes it will take to watch it.
Classic Omelette
• 2 to 3 eggs
• Pinch salt
• Black pepper
• ½ tablespoon butter
• 2 to 3 tablespoons grated Gruyere or sharp Cheddar cheese
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Mix with a fork or whisk until the color and consistency is uniform.
Set the pan over medium heat and add about ½ tablespoon of butter. Melt the butter and swirl it around the pan to coat the bottom and up the sides a bit.
Pour the eggs into the pan and let them settle for a couple of seconds so the bottom cooks a bit. Then, run a fork across the eggs, pulling the cooked parts into the middle and allowing the uncooked eggs to run onto the pan. You can tilt the pan to help the eggs along. Do this a couple of times and then jiggle the pan so that the eggs settle into a nice round shape.
Let it sit on the stove until the eggs are nearly set. Sprinkle the cheese over the omelette. When it looks like the top of the eggs is cooked, or nearly so (they may appear a little runny, but will continue to cook a little even when out of the pan), take a spatula and fold one half of the omelette over. Then, lift the pan from the stove, tilt it and with the aid of the spatula slide the omelette onto a plate.
Serve immediately.

Thank you for this article. In item #1 under 'What is Not
Protected by Copywright', it clearly eliminates my item,
because it is an idea which includes methods, of building
my item. I've dabbled in the patent process before, and I
consider it, to be too cumbersome and expensive, for me
personally. Thanks again.

I need to ask once again for your assistance in forcing the Bureau of Prisons to grant my compassionate release. They have been stonewalling since August and my life expectancy, as per my cancer doctor, is down to 12 months. They know that I am fully qualified and that over 40,000 people have signed on to force them to do the right thing, which is to let me go home to my family and to receive advanced care in New York City. Yet they refuse to act.

It is hot enough in Corcoran, California, to melt people. That being said, it still wasn't hot enough to keep upwards of 400 people from braving 103-degree weather to mobilize and rally at Corcoran State Prison in support of over 30,000 prisoners on hunger strike in California. The immediate goal is to stop the cruelty and torture that being held in isolation represents. The long-range objective is liberation.

Mumia's motion not only attacks his own sentence to "slow death row," but makes the constitutional challenge to life imprisonment without parole, solitary confinement for death row inmates and solitary confinement in general. Mumia is fighting with and for the entirety of the "incarceration nation."
