Hi everyone, let's get rolling.BW.
What's the early word on Terrelle Pryor?
He's a work in progress. He is practicing. On Sunday, Oakland coach Hue Jackson said Pryor would play Friday night at Seattle in the preseaosn finale. However, Wednesday, Jackson said he wasn't sure Pryor will play. They don't want to rush him onto the field.
Hagan looks good now that he has a chance to prove himself, you think he will start?
I think he will be in the rotation. He is a relaible guy.
As much as I hate having other AFC West players on my fantasy team since I am a Raiders fan, do you think Lloyd will have another good year in fantasy?
He's been good this summer. People in Dnever don't think he'll be a one-year wonder.
Big Bill!, Do u c Baldwin starting in week one, if not then when?
Big Drew, all's been quiet on the BAdlwin frotn since the reported bout with Thoams Jones. I'm nto sure when we'll see him. Week 1 may a stretch.
Do you think Corey Liuget will start against the Vikings?
Yes, the Charegrs wnat to get Liuget on the field as soon as posisble. They are fired up about him.
Tebow and Quinn are both the #2 quarterback? Isn't this just ridiculously goofy, considering the new quarterback rules in the CBA?
They won't both be No. 2. One of them (probably Quinn) will be No. 2. John Fox just won't be saying anything publicly.
J.Ford and McFadden both have prominent roles in Raider offense this year,if both stay healthy? Thanks
No doubt about it. They are both huge in Oakland's plans.
Why arent the raiders pursuing lofa totapu yo play wlb to replace qroves who clearly isnt the answer
Because Tatupu is natural middle linebacker and he has been injured.
What was that Baldwin/Jones thing all about, anyway?
any shockers when it comes to cut time in La Jolla?
KC Quesiton: It has been reported that it was about Baldwin objecting to some type of rookie hazing and it was also reported he had a dispute with Jamaal Chalres before the fight. But no one is talking, so we will likley never know.Chargers' question: Not expecting anything major. There could be some interesting things happening at receiver and linebacker.
Bill should i be worried about my Raiders Run D?????
Yes, until they show they can stop the run, it will be an issue. This defense has a chance to be good, but it must stop the run better.
Bill, how's the Chiefs O'line shaping up with Asamoah and Gaither? I've liked what I've seen from there offense the last two years.. and hope that it continues to mature
They like Asomoah a lot. He was the reason why the Chiefs moved away from Brian Waters. Gaither will likley start if he is healthy. He played last week which was a good sign.
Any potential surprising cuts in store for Denver?
Second-round 2009 pick Darcel McBath and fourth-round 2009 pick David Bruton (both safeties) could be on the chopping block.
I accidently deleted the question, but Keith from New Jersey wanted to know how Oakland rookie CB DeMarcus van Dyke looked against New Orleans.Well, he was torched. But it was the great Drew Brees doing the torching. Van Dyke has had a rough preseason and he is not ready. But that doesn't mean he will never be any good. He is getting good experience and he is very fast. He has a chance.
Bill thanks for all your hard work...the Broncos may not get the number one draft pick with all the bad teams out there (Cincinnati, 49ers, Carolina, Minnesota, Buffalo) but regardless they will have a top 5 pick and they will have to look QB right? Orton is going to leave and Tebow likely will not be the guy...your thoughts
Hey Jeff, get well soon ... I think Denver very well will look for a QB. Among the players they could look at if they miss out on Andrew Luck are Matt Barkley, Landry Jones and the kid from Arizona maybe. I'm sure other QBs will emerge as well.
is it close to the time to start talking extension with darren mcfadden?
Good quesiton, Keith. McFadden and Johnson came into the league at the same time. Johnson has been great his entire career. McFadden came on strong last season. If McFadden has another huge year this year, he could ask for a new deal. But remember, McFadden was the No. 4 overall pick in 2008 and Johnson went later in the first round, so McFadden has already ben paid a lot. But it soon could be time to think about the second deal.
I would like to think I am pretty godd at this. I see the Raiders going 10-6. What do you think B Dubs??
Give me your reasons, Target.
Hey Bill,How come the Chiefs coverage seems limited compared to other teams? Is there not enough going on? Is that a good thing?
I try to spread it out as much as possible. But the truth is, I spend a lot of time reacting to news. The Chiefs haven't made much news latley. That can be a good thing, sure.
Are we sure Orton leaves Denver? Where would he go where he would be welcomed as a starter? Besides, the guys not that old, and didn't play much his first few years. And we know that Fox and Elway really like him.
If Orton asa a big year, perhaps Denver will lock him up, sure. But he'd have to play really well for that to happen.
Do you see Michael Bush wearing a Raiders jersey after this season?
I think so, but I thought Asomugha and Miller would stay in Oakland, too. If Bush gets offered a big deak elsewhere, it could be tough to pay that to a No. 2 back. But, again, i wouldn't be shocked if Oakland locked him up during this season.
Bill, is there any reason to be concerned with the slow offensive start to the Chiefs running and passing game this preseason. I felt great after the draft and the free agent signings but I am now a little concerned. I generally do not put much stock in pre-season but the Chiefs offense has done NOTHING, should I be worried?
That's the way the Chiefs roll in the preseason. Todd Haley is 1-10 in the preseason as the Chiefs' coach. He uses preseason games as another day of training camp. Start worrying if a couple of games pass in the regular seoasn and the offense isn't doing much.
Better coaching, Campbell is ready to make a leap to the next level of QB, running game, improved defense, and more intensity from The Black Hole. What do you think about that?
OK. I liek the coaching, the running game, the young recivers and the defnsive front. But I worry about the O-line, the secondary and the run d.
When you consider how quickly the other teams in the division are improving (which is weird, but true), should Chargers fans be worried that their so-called "window of opportunity" is closing?
Again, as long as Rivers is there, the window is wide open. But, yes, the other teams in the division are improving.
You think the Broncos can expect 2,000 yards from Moreno/McGhahee/3rd back (Johnson/Ball)?
That might be a tad high. But I know John Fox is aiming for it. He'd like to run the ball 500 times.
who seems to be the most likely candidate to start opposite of stanford routt at this point?
Chris Johnson, now that he is healthy.
Bill...I've given you a reason, but you still don't respond. I'm sure you're looking for guys to tell you what a great job you do, but all of us that are on your blog daily know the truth...Bottom line Bill, you just regurgitate the news...in fact, I don't think I can recall any story that you were out in front of...Denver will surprise this year. The offense wasn't bad last season at all. Anyone who thinks the defense won't finish middle of the pack hasn't been paying attention. My bold prediction...Denver will not finish in the AFC West cellar this year...
There you go, stud.
Julius Thomas..one game...pre season... but it looks like the kid has potential...what is that potential?
The team is thrilled about him. He is coming along much faster than expected. The fact that he is facing first-team defenses so early is impresive.
Bill, I look at the Chiefs offense, and see a ton of weapons. Do you think the addition of Breaston was one of the better 'small' moves for an AFC West team? I think he will help open up the middle of the field for Moeaki and the running lanes for Charles. McCluster could be a big weapon as well. Do you think the Chiefs have a chance to be a top 5 offense this season? They look pretty explosive.
You are right, Chet. I've been talking up the Chiefs' offense all offseason. I see a few 30-point games in their future.
do you think the chiefs will look for more oline help or even another ilb through free agency?
I think they will look at takcle, ILB, S, maybe D-line.
If the Chargers stay healthy could this finally be the year?
A lot of people think so. They are due for some good health.
Does Darryl Gamble and Bryan Walters make the cut?
It will be clses for both guys. Walters may have a better chance. Gamble could be a practice squad guy althought it would be a well, a gamble, to expose him to the waiver wire.
Which of the 3 Denver QB's will most likely be back next season?
Well, Tebow is the only one currently under contract for 2012.
10+ sacks for Von Miller this season?
Projecting a rookie for double-digit sacks is a tall order, but Miller looks like he may be up to the task. He has looked terrifc. he hit the quarterback four times last week in limited playing time.
dont forget about adam weber
Haven't seen enough of him to tell.
Taiwan Jones looks like a Chris Johnson/Jamaal Charles clone with the ball in his hands? What are his weaknesses? How much will he factor into the Raiders' offense?
His weaknesses have been a lack of big-time opponents in college, his size and his durability. But he can fly. He will give teams nightmares on third down. I like him a lot.
please tell me the broncos will pick someone up with the intentions of NOT having to rely on kevin vickerson playing DT...i may have to start a Tebow to DT rumor for the media.
I have no doubt Dnever will look at DTs in the coming days.
Would it sadden you to see the Chargers move to LA?
I'd be bummed for San Diego fans. I know how much the team means to the city. And I'd be bummed for Bill. I lvoe that town, man.
breaking news. tim tebow has reportedly wanted to play left guard. cant he make the quick adjustment for week 1
I better get on that.
Do you have an opinion on the events at Candlestick and whether or not that game should continue?
We've talked about it before. it was terrible that a few knuckleheads could ruin such a fun traditon. Again, this was just a small fraction of the people there. But it is a reminder how a small group can ruin a good thing for good people.
is walter mcfadden a possibility to be cut in the next few days?
It's possible. I know they like Sterling Moore, who has been nice so far.
Will the Falcons make the Super Bowl?
That's my NFC choice.
OK< folks, got to go. Talk to you next week.

The Carriage House Companies gets a bit carried away when spreading the word about sauces and spreads. The company is one of the largest suppliers of store-brand grocery goods, including barbecue sauce, jams and jellies, peanut butter, and table syrup. It also produces private label mayonnaise and salad dressings, salsas, and sauces. Carriage House products are sold through its sales staff and a broker network to retailers, such as Wal-Mart, and, less so, food service, contract, and other customers. A subsidiary, Beverage Specialties makes the Major Peter's and JERO brand non-alcoholic drink mixes. Carriage House is owned by ConAgra Foods, which acquired its former parent Ralcorp in 2013.
The Carriage House Companies became a subsidiary of ConAgra Foods following ConAgra's purchase of private-label giant Ralcorp in January 2013. The purchase made ConAgra the largest private-brand packaged foods business in North America. ConAgra plans to shutter the Carriage House plants in Dunkirk and Fredonia, New York by early 2015, resulting in the loss of some 425 jobs.

Steve Mills, senior vice president and group executive at IBM, and Steve Lucas, global executive vice president and general manager for database and technology at SAP, will chair the commission, Yasin reports. Serving as vice chairs are Teresa Carlson, vice president of Global Public Sector for Amazon Web Services, and Bill Perlowitz, chief technology officer of Wyle's Science, Technology and Engineering Group.
"The problem today is not gathering data but rather making intelligent, actionable decisions based on the volume, velocity and variety of data we are receiving," said Jennifer Kerber, president of the TechAmerica Foundation.

I've dyed my hair, not liked the colour and gone out and brought another one and done it same day. Not sure if it's advisable but I do still have all my (quite long) hair :c)
I'd leave it a couple of washes. That's all.
I find red is hard to cover trionam, I am naturally dark too and even having it coloured professionally has struggled to get rid of all the red.
I've done what china has done as well, give it a good intensive condition afterwards whatever you decide to do.

Swine flu spam clogs inboxes
Spammers are trying to flog dodgy pharmaceuticals on the back of the swine flu epidemic.

The spam message deluge, sent through compromised machines, features junk mail messages containing links to …

can we please now make this story the last reference to this over-hyped nonsense.
if we need to talk about illnesses i believe there are people still dying of cancer, heart disease, aids, lung cancer etc etc - things which actually effect the good folk of the uk, not some tourists who caught a sniffle after visiting pedro's beach fleapit.
Sound advice...

As I'm sure what's being peddled in the spam is playing it down compared to the BBC's "OMG we're all going to die" approach. But don't worry, facemasks and a helpline are on their way, for autumn - so you can watch the leaves fall as your friends and colleagues drop.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
A solemn Governor Graves today announced $78 million more in immediate spending cuts to the Kansas budget and the lame-duck Republican leader identified other savings to wipe out most of the state's 310 million-dollar shortfall for fiscal 2003.
The cuts are in addition to the 41 million dollars Graves made in August, to the state's $4.4 billion budget. The object is to the Sunflower State Kansas from ending fiscal 2003 on June 30th with a deficit.
Graves said did not cut any money from schools, as educators across the state had feared. Education claims about half of the state's annual budget.
Today's cuts are expected to be the last time Graves addresses the budget. His term ends Jan. 13, when Democrat Kathleen Sebelius takes office.
Here's a breakdown of the cuts:

If you like subtle: Respray the wheel with the interior and a little edge of the spoke pairs taped off, allowing for a subtle silver highlight.

COLUMN:Don't let hackers spoil your holiday
With holiday shopping upon us, the big guy in the red suit is making a list and checking it twice to ready for the season.
Missing from his "nice" list are those "naughty" credit card hackers waiting to steal your credit information. Last year, hackers threatened to suck the fun out of the holidays by pilfering account information from Target customers, and more recently at Wells Fargo and Home Depot.
As a credit card fraud expert and risk manager at Apple Federal Credit Union, I offer ten tips on how to protect yourself and your money this holiday season and beyond.
1. Periodically check your accounts online. Don't wait for your monthly statement to arrive in the mail. If your account has been compromised, the crooks would have had time to run up your account. Report unauthorized transactions immediately.
2. Keep your PIN in a safe place. Don't use an easy-to-guess PIN like your birthday. Do not write your PIN on your card or carry it in your wallet. Have a different PIN for each card. Keep your card numbers and the associated toll-free phone numbers in a lockbox at home.
3. Don't give account information over the phone. No credit union or bank representative should ask for your PIN, so hang up on callers who ask for such personal financial details. This goes for unsolicited emails and text messages too.
4. Set up account alerts. You can place transaction alerts on your accounts so you are notified when transactions occur outside of your normal spending patterns. For example, if a $500 or more transaction occurs, you will be notified.
5. Report a lost debit or credit card immediately. Under federal law your liability is limited to $50 for unauthorized use of a debit card, but only if you report it within two business days.
6. Understand what your financial institution does to prevent fraud. Fraud can occur at financial institutions big or small. What is yours doing to ensure your safety? Is it compliant with Payment Card Industry Standards? Would it automatically credit your account for the loss? What if you miss the two-day time limit?
7. Know how your financial institution will treat you if you are a fraud victim. Not all financial institutions are created equal. For example, at Apple we monitor members' accounts 24/7. If fraud occurs, we provide our member an extended grace period, rather than the standard two days. We also immediately credit the member's account for the full amount of fraud charges while we conduct an investigation into what happened. These practices vary among institutions.
8. Pay attention at ATM terminals. Look around before you start a transaction and leave if you spot anyone or anything suspicious. Listen to your gut.
9. Don't be the victim of a skimmer. Crooks skim credit and debit card information by attaching fake card readers and secondary keypads to ATM machines and other payment terminals. Don't use a machine that looks like its been tampered with.
10. Make sure your account transaction is complete. Don't leave the machine until you are certain that the transaction is finished, and you've put your cash away. Be sure and take your receipt.
Following these tips will help ensure a safe holiday shopping season, and that Santa is not the only one who knows about those "naughty" hackers. For more tips on fraud protection and cyber security, visit applefcu.org.

We all know that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, sure, but when it comes to cat and dog names, the unusual monikers are the ones that put smiles on all of our faces.
We've examined Vetstreet's database of more than 89 million dogs and 49 million cats to find names that appeared just once, then picked out the long, funny names that had us tripping over our tongues.
We suspect this name belongs to a perfectly petite and perky pooch.
You can't blame her for sneaking in a nap. We're a little worn out ourselves from just typing that name!
We can't think of a name better suited to feline royalty.
He's the one with the waggly tail. Obviously.
She's an awfully pretty little devil, isn't she?
She's bad to the bone. Especially if you give her a particularly tasty one to chew on.
He's the only one who can solve the mystery of the missing tuna. (Not because he's such a great detective; it's just that he's the one who ate it.)
Whether it's time for a fiesta or a siesta, you can't resist those puppy dog eyes, can you?
That's quite a big name for a little kitty!
A name for your favorite friend made up of all your favorite things? Sounds like a plan to us!
We're sure there's a story behind this one, but we don't even need to know. They had us at margarita.

Fireweed Universe City
Transforming a neighborhood, one house, one person, one family at a time
Friday, October 17, 2014
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
Ten houses in the community use wood stoves to keep warm. In order to prepare for winter each household must have a steady supply of wood harvested and stored in a dry place. We are seeking donations of logs as well as materials for insulating the homes. If you would like to learn more about heating with wood or making your home more energy efficient please come down and investigate the community for yourself.
Over the summer the Bike COOP's home was stolen from the community by ruthless speculators. The building has been boarded up and all murals have been painted over in drab grey only to be graffitied over again. Many people put in hard work to make this space happen and we thank you for your brilliant efforts. WE have moved the remaining bikes to a garage in the community and are still in need of tubes, tires, training wheels and tools. The current incarnation is a DIY setting with BYO Tools and KNOW HOW. We would love for someone to become the new BIKE MECHANIC and BOTTOM LINE the project.

Help Save The Red Planet Bike Co-op
Wednesday, April 2, 2014
"Transforming a neighborhood, one house, one person, one family at a time..."
Hello Fireweed friends and family,
How are you? We have missed you. Sorry for the long absence, but alas, we have survived the long winter. Spring is finally upon us! We are so overjoyed. And we wish you to join us in our many projects now that the weather warrants it. Here is an update of upcoming events if you would be so kind as to help us spread the word. Please let us know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. We thank you for your continued support of the Fireweed Universe-City. We love you all so very much.
- VOLUNTEER WORK DAY - Every Saturday from Noon until 5 p.m (or really Sunrise to Sunset). As Shane would put it "Many Hands Make Light Work." Projects for the volunteer work days are unlimited. What ever you want to imagine can be accomplished. Priority projects include:
- GROWING FOOD (weeding, composting, planting seeds, tilling soil)
- BULK PICK UP DAY is this TUESDAY APRIL 8th. We need to get he garbage collected off the side of the streets and collect bulk items out of potential houses to occupy.
- GARDENING WORKSHOPS. Exchange ideas for gardening, seeds and tips. Learn about different forms of gardening and composting, particularly urban farming.
- FULL MOON FUNDRAISER DANCE PARTIES. The Red Planet collective is located across the street from the Innate Healing Center and Cafe.

|Nick works on the Rocket Stove at 159.
Hello Friends and Family of Fireweed Universe-City, and a very Happy New Year!
Well winter is certainly amongst us! Sorry for the absence and lack of updates but we have been busy continuously preparing for the bitter cold. We have been very blessed with friends donating wood to the community. We are keeping warm with our wood burning steel barrel stoves. The zen mentality of chop wood/carry water is in full effect every day. It is certainly a learning experience for us all. We are currently burning about six stoves through out the community and make sure that any donations are divided evenly amongst the homes. This means that wood is burned through fast! If you or anyone you know would have any leads on down/dead trees, Fireweed has two chainsaws, and limited access to a truck, and would very much appreciate the opportunity to come and collect wood! Also, blankets are also greatly utilized, not only for warmth, but insulation as well. Thank you so much for your interest in this growing project and community. We look forward to sharing with you our progress, as we have many ideas that are brewing and will be actualized in the coming months!
For now: survival mode. Stay warm and safe everyone! Much love.
|Chopping wood after cutting down a dead tree on Robinwood. Thanks to our friend Dan for the help! Also: a snowball fight ensues.

In the words of St. Augustine: "If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts our meaningless."

HAMILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA (Catholic Online) -Newly elected Pope Francis is being hailed as a potential modern saint whose concern for the poor is mirrored in his humility and simple lifestyle. As archbishop of Buenos Aires, he refused to live in the bishop's residence, opting instead to live in a simple apartment, cook his own meals, and take public transportation. As pope he intends to continue this same legacy. The path he has set forth for both himself and the church can be summed in his initial statement "This is what I want, a poor church for the poor."
Today we are living, morally, in what some have called a crisis of faith. This has been due, in no small measure, to the rapid advancement and influence of secularization and moral relativism which has permeated modern society. In order to reverse this trend a certain rediscovery of essential virtues like humility is necessary for mankind.
The Meaning of Humility
The word humility signifies lowliness or submissiveness and it is derived from the Latin humilitas or, as St. Thomas says, from humus, i.e. the earth which is beneath us. St. Bernard defines the moral virtue of humility as the "virtue whereby man, through a true knowledge of himself, becomes despicable in his own eyes."
Humility is rooted in truth and justice. Truth causes us to know ourselves as we truly are: that which is good in us belongs to God and that which is evil proceeds from ourselves. Justice inclines us to act upon this knowledge and to praise God for his many gifts and graces.
We all enter this world tainted, wounded, by original sin. Due to concupiscence we habitually fall into sin and are continually in need of God's mercy. We, therefore, must learn to love humiliations and accept all reproaches. Being nothing of ourselves we must love oblivion and self-effacement: to be unknown, to be reckoned as nothing. As sinners we deserve every kind of humiliation.
To practice humility one must first begin by waging war against pride since it is pride that constitutes the primal evil in our souls. Remedies against pride include the acknowledgment that God is the Author of all good, and that to Him belongs all honor and glory.
With this in mind we must strive to attain the humble dispositions of the soul of Christ who "being in the form of God, did not deem to be equal with God, but emptied Himself"(Phil. 2: 6-7). Humility implies this express act of self-humiliation, a voluntary descent beneath our legitimate natural dignity, an act of reducing ourselves to naught before God. It implies the gesture of a permanent inner dying of the self, in order that Christ may live in us - a gesture that has found its unique expression in the figure of St. John the Baptist and in his words: "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John. 3:30).
The Humility of Christ
Our Lord gave us many examples of humility upon which we can meditate and strive to imitate.
During His hidden life He practiced humility primarily through self-effacement. Before His birth He hid Himself for nine months in the virginal womb of Mary where He submitted Himself to Caesar's edict and suffering without complaint the rude refusal of His mother to stay at the inn.
At His birth the Son of God appeared as a poor infant. Following His Birth He was circumcised and then obliged to flee into Egypt in order to escape the persecution of Herod. Later at Nazareth he submitted Himself for thirty years in obedience to His parents where He was known only as the carpenter's son. He hid Himself in the most complete obscurity in order to merit for us the grace that would enable us to sanctify our most commonplace actions and inspire within us a love of humility.
Throughout the course of His public life Jesus practiced humility by proclaiming in both word and deed that He was the Son of God. He did this in a discreet manner and without forcing assent. He surrounded Himself with Apostles that were, in the eyes of many, ignorant and of little esteem. He lived by alms and showed a marked preference for those in particular whom the world often despises such as the poor, sinners, and the sick.
His teaching was simple and direct. He often used parables that were taken from ordinary life with the aim, not of winning the admiration of men, but of instructing and touching their hearts. His miracles were rare and He often charged his beneficiaries not to speak of them.
Jesus's abject humility is demonstrated in His Passion. Betrayed by Judas and deserted by His Apostles he did not cease to love them. At His arrest He healed Malchus who was wounded by Peter. He suffered the affronts of the crowd to which he was delivered in silence. He answered the high priest out of respect for authority knowing full well that His words of truth would bring Him the death penalty. Treated like a fool by Herod and unjustly condemned by Pilate He kept His peace. Without seeking a single miracle to vindicate His honor He allowed Himself to be scourged, mocked and crowned with thorns.
He accepted on His shoulders a heavy cross which He carried to His crucifixion without a single word of complaint. Insulted by His enemies he prayed for their conversion and excused them before His Father. Deprived of all heavenly comfort, deserted by His disciples, His dignity as a man, His reputation, His honor, all set at naught, He suffered it seems every species of humiliation that the mind of man can conceive, and He can say with far greater truth than the Psalmist: "I am worm and no man: the reproach of men and the outcast of the people"(Ps. 22:7).
Our Lord's Eucharistic life in the tabernacle also reproduces examples of humility. It is here that the Divinity of Christ is veiled perhaps to a greater extent than it was in the crib and on Calvary. It is here that He continues to suffer affronts from non-believers as well as Christians who either ignore Him or at times, either out of weakness or shame, make sacrilegious communions. Nonetheless, Christ incessantly proclaims "Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy burdened, and I will refresh you"(Matt. 11:28).
Our Humility
We can practice humility, after Our Lord's example, in many ways toward God, our neighbor and ourselves.
Toward God we can practice the spirit of religion whereby we contemplate God as the fullness of being and perfection while at the same time joyfully acknowledging our own sinfulness and nothingness
We can also show our humility toward God by thanking Him for all the good He has bestowed upon us and by confessing, in the spirit of dependence, our inability to do any good of ourselves. In regards to our neighbor, we can practice humility by seeing in him both the natural and supernatural good which God has placed in him and admire it without envy or jealousy. This means rejoicing at his successes and virtues. At the same time we must overlook, while praying for his conversion, those defects in our neighbor that it is not our duty to correct.
We can exercise humility in regards to ourselves by, first and foremost, considering our defects, our nothingness and our sinfulness without failing to recognize the good in us and to give the proper thanks to God. This makes it easier to practice humility which must extend to the whole man, to the mind, heart and his outward conduct.
Humility of mind requires a proper distrust of self that prevents us from overrating our ability, and disposes us to feel humiliated at the ill-use we have made of the gifts of God. We must use our talents for good without seeking to be noticed or to be praised.
Humility of mind requires that we practice intellectual docility. This includes accepting, as having a greater wisdom than our own judgements, the official teachings of the Church - even those which do not possess the character of infallibility.
Humility of heart requires that we shun the exalted life of honors and glory and "Sit down in the lowest place" (Luke. 14:10). We ought not to dwell on the talents we have, for they are not ours; we are only the bearers of them, and even with these gifts we can lose our souls. For this reason no one should flatter himself, nor take any complacency in himself...he should rather humble himself and acknowledge that he is but a poor instrument which God deigns to employ.
External humility is the outward manifestation of inward sentiments born of decision of the will. There are numerous ways in which, by our outward conduct, we express the virtue of humility: by not seeking the finest lodgings or the most expensive clothes; by rejecting petty pleasures and honors; by avoiding slavery to conventions; by having an unassuming posture; by engaging in humble occupations. The same may be said of the condescension, marks of deference and acts of courtesy shown to others. In our conversations we should seek not to discuss our own interests but those of others.
True humility is thoroughgoing poverty of both heart and mind. St. Theresa of Avila simply calls it "walking in truth". It is the correlative human effort to know both God and oneself as the two parties are objectively. Humility is primarily a disposition of our will to restrain that tendency which we all have to claim an esteem and consideration which is beyond our due and to assert an independence of judgment and of will that does not belong to us as creatures. In the words of St. Augustine: "If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts our meaningless."

Let's get engaged

The picture painted by the media is that the growing radicalisation of the pro-democracy movement, the scenes of confrontation during the protests on New Year's Day, and the escalating campaign against the high-speed rail project by young activists can all be linked as the rise of the so-called post-1980s generation.
Each generation produces its own idealists and people who want to do something - and the post-1980s generation is no exception. However, the media has played up and simplified the phenomenon; it is the politics of the media as much as the new style of the network-based social movement that is at work.
The lack of substantive democratic progress since 1997 has no doubt demoralised many people and caused some to take more drastic action. Thirty years of the pro-democracy movement in the form of rallies, protest marches, walkouts and even hunger strikes has led to political fatigue. Now that pan-democrats form a critical minority in the legislature, thanks to democratisation so far, they must 'countersign' any reform deal in order to move forward. This requires a new brand of negotiation and compromise that they are not ready for.
Some, especially the younger activists, could well take part in new forms of agitation, 'mass resignations' or direct action. But it still raises the question of how these new actions could effectively provide hope of a breakthrough, or whether they would ultimately lead to just another round of fatigue, feeding into total despair and escapism.
The conventional politics of the ballot box and of welfare are giving way, in the new millennium, to a new politics of values; green issues, public space and cultural actions have become new focal points in the social movement. It is not only government officials who have been caught by surprise, but also our politicians and political parties, who still operate in the mindset of the 1980s and 1990s.
The New Year's Day rally is the first time pro-democracy activists and supporters have thrown their frustrations and anger at the central government's liaison office, on the grounds that Beijing holds the veto on democratisation.
While this is correct, constitutionally, in the interests of 'one country, two systems' it has long been held that matters of governance should be resolved locally, through lobbying and agitating against the Hong Kong government.
The 'one country, two systems' framework is, of course, not static but embedded in a political-economic context that has changed tremendously since the 1980s, when China was an economic backwater looking up to the Hong Kong model.
The equation now is gradually being turned around as China rises to become an economic power and the mainland is seen as the key factor to drive and sustain Hong Kong's prosperity.
Still, maintaining a fine line between the Hong Kong government and the liaison office is crucial both strategically and symbolically. If Hong Kong people and mainland officials unduly play up the central government dimension, or the primacy of 'one country', this will not only belittle the Hong Kong government's authority, it will also feed into a restraining interpretation of the 'two systems' concept.
Hong Kong people are concerned about the crackdown on political dissidents and aspire for liberalisation on the mainland. However, they also realise that the tail does not wag the dog and that democratic progress here can only be achieved if there is a harmonious relationship and mutual accommodation between the mainland and Hong Kong, where neither side pushes its own logic to the extreme.
All along, mainstream democrats have preferred a talk-and-fight approach that emphasises dialogue.
Such an approach is now questioned as being too conservative and outdated by so-called new democrats, who ironically also lack an agenda that squares with the constitutional reality and can point to a concrete way forward.
The paradox of democratisation in Hong Kong has always been that Beijing is inherently sceptical of local democracy and its spillover effect. The adversarial stance taken by some pan-democrat politicians vis-?-vis the central government does not help to remove such fears, or to improve mutual trust.
Inasmuch as the pro-democracy camp needs to think innovatively, the national and Hong Kong governments also need to develop new thinking on Hong Kong's political future and forge a new form of political engagement.

Halloween is usually all about the treats and tricks. But this year I've picked up some sweets that actually benefit a great cause. From now until October 31, 2014 Wendy's is selling these awesome coupon books for free Jr. Frosty's. Each book costs only a $1.00 and .90 cents from each book goes straight to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. There are over 100,000 kids in the foster care system awaiting adoption in the United States. The goal for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® is to help every child in foster care find a loving and permanent family and they have, so far, helped over 4,000 kids find adoptive families. So in buying one of these books, you are directly helping to change lives. You might think Wendy's is all square burgers and french fries but it is so much more. (P.S. their new pulled pork fries with sweet bbq sauce…DO IT).
I picked up two booklets as gifts for my niece and nephew. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have started the process to becoming foster parents. But it isn't just the parents who foster. It's the whole family. I want my niece and nephew to know how important they are to the process and how great it is that they will, one day, be a special part of another child or children's lives. They, along with their parents, will be positive role models and a loving family unit to a child that is lacking both. They are just kids and may not understand the magnitude of that but one day they will. I'm super proud of my in-laws for taking these next steps. It is something they have talked about for years and finally everything has fallen in to place. While the process is long and they have many more classes, home inspections and interviews to go, in the next six months, they will be a foster care family ready to love any children who come in to their home.
I plan on giving my niece and nephew these books, that deal with foster care, along with their Wendy's Halloween coupon books. I was surprised that there aren't more books written for the kids of the adoptive families to help them understand their role, the challenges and the rewards of fostering and finally adopting. My nephew is 7 so I got him an easy reading book written for a child going in to a foster family. I figured it would help him to put himself in the shoes of a child entering his family and give him an idea of how that child might feel. For my older niece, I got a fiction book about a girl entering a foster family who learns to let her walls down and trust her new siblings and parental units.
To me, these books are so much better than candy. Next time you pass by a Wendy's, grab yourself a frosty and pick up a few of these coupon books.
Visit your local Wendy's® to purchase a Jr. Frosty™ Halloween Coupon Book* for $1, which benefits the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®!
*Coupon book may contain coupons for 5 or 10 free Jr. Frosty™ treats. Prices and participation may vary. Ninety cents to every $1 coupon booklet sold between 9/15/14 and 10/31/14 will benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. Coupons valid from 11/1/14 through 2/1/15. ©2014 Oldemark LLC
This year Wendy's aims to give $10 million to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® and YOU can help!
