this is my second pair of chacos...my first pair is the ZX/2 version, which i've had for a handful of years. they have traveled with me through mud pits at music festivals, down rivers, and as my main shoes traveling through southeast asia. and, of course, they hardly show any wear. i've had my new pair for about a month and am really enjoying the lighter weight sole and the freedom my big toe has. i think i'll stick to the Z/2s for wilder adventures, but these Z/1s are a welcomed switch-up. everyone should have a pair.

You and Alex had been friends in the past, best friends actually. Though, there always seemed a part of you that wanted more....
"Cassy! I have a surprise!" Alex yelled as he strolled into the room. It was your birthday, and Alex said that the entire day was supposed to be a huge surprise. It was unnerving to say the least.
"Aleeeeeeexxx. Just five more minutes! Pleassseeee!" You yelled trying to get in a little more sleep. You burrowed yourself in the blanket and hoped that he wouldn't try to tear it off. It was hot last night; so you had only slept in a bra and panties. It's not like it was weird that he sees you almost naked, you guys used to bathe together when you were toddlers. Your moms would say that the two of you would marry some day, you wish they were right.
"Seriously Cass... Don't make me pull the covers off. I'll do it!" he says playfully threatening you. You groan again.
"Seriously 'Lex.... Don't make me kill you. I'll do it!" You mimic him, he snickers at your bad impression. You smile under the blanket. His laugh is adorable.
"Pleeeaaaasseee Get Up! Pleeeaaaseee!" He begs like a child (or Jack) as he climbs on top of your blanket-covered body. He straddles your form and starts bouncing up and down on you. You groan again.
"Alright fat-ass! I'm up! I'm up!" You say while trying to wiggle your body out from under him.
After waking up and getting dressed, he sat you down in the kitchen of your house and made you breakfast. While you chew the pancakes he made, he stares at you intently. You try to avoid his eyes.
"Why are you staring at me?" You blurt out. He suddenly averts his eyes away from you. You blush.
"N-no reason. You just look so adorable." He muttered under his breath; hoping you didn't hear. You did.
Alex had been acting all shy and nervous all day, and now it was 6:00pm and he was taking you to the last surprise. A picnic for two, under the stars in his backyard. How did you know? You overheard him talking to Jack on the phone.
"So... Can I ask you something?" Alex asks as you sit down on the red checkered blanket. He takes a bottle of red wine, and two glasses out of the woven basket.
"You just did." You reply with a cocky smirk, he always loved how you could be just a snarky as he was. It was one of the reasons you two bonded so quickly and became friends.
"Can I ask you... Two more questions?" He asks after carefully thinking about it for a moment. You smile.
"You don't have to ask." You say.
"Okay, so.... hypothetically. If I kissed you, how would you react?" Alex asks while lifting himself onto his knees so he's sitting on his feet. Your cheeks turn red and you bite your lip. You had wanted this for a long time. Maybe it's finally happening...
"I don't know." you say with a small smile gracing your lips. "And neither will you until you try."
You move to sit identical to Alex.
"Um... O-okay." he says before swallowing the lump in his throat. You see him lean forward slowly and you think about how cute he looks when he's nervous.
That's when it happens, his lips meet yours in the middle of the picnic blanket and you smile against his lips. He moves his left hand to cup your cheek, and his right hand to the small of your back. He lays you down on the blanket, and nips at your lower lip. You open your mouth and deepen the kiss, you feel him move to lean over you.
You both pull away panting. He shoots a smile down at you.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He says in between breaths.
"Tell me about it." You say slightly sarcastic. He chuckles.
"Maybe wanna take this back to the bedroom?" Alex asks breathlessly. Maybe it's the alcohol finally taking effect, but you nod and say yes.
Alex leans down and swoops you up into his arms, carrying you like a princess. He leads the way through his house and into the bedroom. He places you onto the bed and starts to paw at your shirt, you lift it up and take it off. He pulls his off and discards his skin-tight jeans quickly after.
You slip off the skirt you were wearing and watch his gaze shift from your face, to your chest, to your stomach, and lower. You shudder as it's almost like you feel his eyes glazing over you.
"You're so perfect." He says. You both stare at each other, just breathing. Until he finally makes the move and crawls on top of the bed with you. He unhooks your bra, and starts to massage your breasts slowly. He slips you out of your panties and moves his hand down towards you entrance.

Hiring Wisely
A team is only as good as its weakest link. Anyone who has ever worked in a start-up trying to take on the Goliaths of its industry understands how true this is. The mistakes we make when hiring--the traits we overlooked, the important questions we forgot to ask, the ideal candidates we let get away--can come back to haunt us when business dries up.
Think beyond the resume. Be human when hiring and understand the personality of the person who seeks to join your team. Barbara Corcoran, the star of ABC's start-up competition show "Shark Tank," knows that wise hiring means understanding psychology.
Corcoran knows how to spot people's insecurities, what drives them, and who is going to be loyal. Admittedly, she has made many hiring mistakes building the Corcoran Group, her former company which she founded, into a billion dollar real-estate powerhouse.
In her interview with Big Think and her new book Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business, Corcoran shares the secrets of hiring wisely--today's big idea.

Students need to be well educated and trained in order to be successful after graduation and for many years to come. In order to ensure proper training we limit our student/teacher ratio to 8:1. Special attention is placed on student comprehension and understanding of both the lecture material and the practical application.

Chris Richardson — I Don't Want To Be
Chris Richardson — I Don't Want To Be
The Elliott Yamin comparisons just won't ever end for Chris Richardson huh? Simon had some great comments about the singing, but I think Chris had the most energy so far. Go girls vote!
Direct link and video clip:
Chris Richardson — I Don't Want To Be
(Please right-click and 'Save Target As…' Thank you!)
Got Something to Add?
Wasn't it Chris who said that Elliot was his favorite idol? Gotta give the man props for that, at least!
If that is the case, that would explain his preoccupation with picking songs that Elliot did. Unfortunately for him, IMO, he doesn't have the vocals that Elliot does so it's not working as well as he had probably hoped.
Already pre-ordered Elliot's CD!! Can't WAIT!!
He is Such an elliot fan
wow i didn't realize how many people don't like him lol.
honestly, elliott was one of my favorites last season too but i did think that chris's version was definitely more appealing to me (and i myself am a singer, by the way). i never even thought about the elliott comparison, just the justin timberlake one. i do agree that chris didn't have the best vocals but i was still impressed by him. that's just what i think.
also, since we're all judging singing singing style and talent.. i'm curious about your thoughts on mine lol:
I know! I love all the props to Elliott too!
And if Chris would stay away from Elliott's AI 5 song choices, then we'd quit comparing, right?
And what's so bad is that he's TRYING to sing the same version as Elliott...i was just waiting for Chris to belt out that one part just like Elliott but thank goodness he didn't do it. haha
Chris if you wanna move on in the competition, quit trying to sing like Justin T. singing Elliott!:)
Please pick a song that Elliott has not sung last season. I can't help but compare you to him and there is no comparison. Find your own music and I will start to pay more attention to your singing. Your song choices are distracting.
Simon told him he thinks he's better than his audition showed. Yeah, sorry, he's not. And I wish he would stop singing songs Elliott sang. I could let him get away with "A Song for You†and maybe I would give him a pass on "I Don't Wanna Be†but this dude sang "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know†during Hollywood week and that was too much! So let's see, he's from Richmond, VA, showed up to auditions in a green shirt and has sang 3 songs all covered by Elliott. Yes, I'm sure that's all a coincidence. (rolls eyes emoticon would be inserted here if I knew how.)
I completely agree...from his very first audition, when he sang A Song For You, I just couldn't help but compare him to Elliott..to which there is no comparison. Then he goes and sings another song Elliott did last year, and again, not nearly as well. And I kept thinking the whole time, why would he wear a suit and then sing this song??? It made no sense. Last year Elliott wore a tie almost every week, but the week he sang this song, he wore a hoodie!
We miss you Elliott!!!
O.K. I admit it...I am a dyed-in-the-wool fan of Elliott's but let's face it... it's hard NOT to compare him with this year's crop, especially when they CHOOSE to sing the songs he sang last year. Sorry. Chris, even with your own "vibe" (whatever it is) you are not cutting it. Not with this song, anyway. Any doubts? Check out http://youtube.com/watch?v=RSeDMFQePGI I hope the boys start picking their own songs that go with their own "vibes". Sigh.
Gardengirl I couldn't agree more with everything you posted!!!! You are soo right. I know Elliott was last year and I need to just get over it BUT HELLO like 4 people sang songs I have heard Elliott sing and they sounded horrible. It is hard not to compare when they are doing songs he just did last season. I just hope these guys do MUCH better next week because at this point I can only see a couple who have any talent at all! AND if Chris does ONE MORE Elliott song I really think I am going to LOOSE IT! :O)
Elliott's soulful/hip version of this song: http://www.googlx.com/idolforever/media/mp3/elliot-a-280603.mp3
Bo's rockin version of this song: http://www.googlx.com/idolforever/media/mp3/Bo-042605.mp3
Listen to both of these versions...then listen to Chris R's MP3 version (not the video but the audio)...and you can see how lightweight his vocals are compared to the two former gentlemen.
Chris needs to stay with the lightweight fluff Pop stuff that is more adapted to his limited vocal ability.
Here's a link to Elliott singing the song: http://www.googlx.com/idolforever/media/mp3/elliot-a-280603.mp3
And here's a link to Bo (rockin') the song in his season of AI: http://www.googlx.com/idolforever/media/mp3/Bo-042605.mp3
Personally, if you listen to the mp3 (not the video) of this song by these 3 guys...I sure you should be able to hear how week Chris R is compared to Elliott's soulful/hip version and Bo's rockin' head bangin' version!
Again, I feel Chris R is doing himself a disservice singing songs that will undoubtledly compare him to much better singers. He needs to stay in the "lightweight fluff" catagory that is Bubblegum Pop. He's all flash and nothing else.
I Don't Wanna Be? Yes, he does wanna be...He wants to be Elliott,and he's not. He's getting on my nerves.
This has started out as the Elliott Yamin season. Knocks Me Off Me Feet, A Song For You, I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know, I Don't Want to Be, Never too Much.
It just proves how awesome Elliott was and all these other performances are just not up to par.
I hope Chris finds his own place and stops trying to repeat last season.
WTF was that? It was wierd! He looked like he was trying to do a hip-hop version of this, but dressed like WHAT? And his actions looked like howdy doody! Charisma? Zip! he just looked and sounded utterly ridiculous. I have NO idea how this guy got here over much better singers (like Tommy Daniels for one.) He absolutely has NOTHING. Not even looks in my book anyways.
The only person that I remind singing this song is Bo Bice.
Elliott? I like him, but he passed unnoticed in this song.
Bo was much better. And Chris needs to get better a lot.
Yeh, Chris will be better off if he stays away from Elliot's AI5 repertoire. (I sure do miss Elliott)....
When i heard it mentioned that Chris sounds like Justin Timberlake, it came to mind that he sounds more like Justin singing ELLIOTT'S version of a song.
Hopefully Chris will branch out and find his own style.
He is making a mistake with the Elliott song choices (it MUST be contrived) all that does is prove just what a great singer Elliott was - this guy is just average and somewhat annoying vocally.
He was nervous at first, but he's got a good voice and he pulled this song off..his way. I like Elliot, how can anyone compare the two? They are very different and I like them both. Elliot's time on Idol has past, let's support Chris.
vocals were kinda bad, and not to mention his choice of wardrobe.. what's up with wearing a suit when your singing that kind of song.. haha
can someone help me identify the shoes he was wearing? they look really cool and classic.
Very depressing that this Virginia guy is being compared with the incomparable Elliott Yamin. What's with his song choices? For EY fans, it's painful...I'm rooting for Melinda and Lakeisha (sp?).
"So which song will he pick from Elliott's AI5 repertoire? - feaqs"
I'm afraid it's going to be Elliott's "Trouble" from last year's Elvis week.
his voice sounded squeaky to me. but he might sail through.
Elliott >>>> Chris!
vote for elliott!!!
I really don't understand the appeal of this guy. I don't think he is good-looking - kinda creepy, and bad skin to boot. I wouldn't harp on that if the "Justin Timberlake look-alike" comments weren't all over the place. Aside from that, I really don't think his voice is anything spectacular and his movements on stage were jerky and distracting. Yuck.
UM that sounded like a Kid's Bop recording of that song...but he is F'ING charismatic and it was the most entertaining performance thus far. And can we talk about how his Dad is the most rhythmically challenged person in America.
If this was a singing competition...he'd be going home. But alas, it's not...so all those who think he has "the look"...they will keep him floating thru the competition.
I'm sorry, but Chris R is like the "Jasmine Trias of AI6"...I don't see it or get why he's even in the top 24. There were much better "singer" that got cut.
The tone of his voice is flat, unaffected, nasally (?), off pitch,...plus he does wierd body movements....yada yada yada.
But hey...he has the look!! So which song will he pick from Elliott's AI5 repertoire? 8-)
i lovee him, one of my favorites with blake & sligh, he was one of the best of the night, but that's not saying that much today, anyways he was still very good
I've liked Chris R. since seeing his audition. Although he wasn't terrific, I thought he did very well tonight. And as kyo2590 said, the song doesn't match his style. Next time should be better.
I guess i just need to get over the whole Elliott Yamin thing... I loved him last season. And if you are gonna do a the same song as another contestant from the past...i dunno ...it better be at least as good as if not better and for me this just wasnt....
Yeah i agree with the poster above, i thought he sounded really bad in the beginning, but i liked it midway through the song. So far, he and Brandon are the only ones who have shown promise.
Yeah kyo....The beginning i thought craaaap this guy is butchering this song... but then he got better. Now I know I'm an old woman ...but rockin out in a suit coat?
Admittedly he's got the looks ,but America, vote for the whole package, the voice being number one. In fairness, he was not bad. As a matter of fact, it was very original.
I thought the performance was good but I have to agree with Simon, the vocals weren't great.
Not really a favorite... Kinda butchered the song and I love the song. Just not his style.

Mike Krzyzewski is done asking Derrick Rose how he feels. The Team USA coach made that evident Monday night before Tuesday's 101-71 win over Slovenia in the final exhibition game at the Gran Canaria Arena in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
''I asked [Rose on Monday], and he said, 'I feel great,' '' Krzyzewski told reporters. ''He did everything. He's full-go. I think there's a part of him that's like, 'Quit asking me how I feel. I'm good.' So I'm not going to ask him anymore.''
You'd hope someone would because while FIBA World Cup tournament play doesn't start until Saturday, Rose continued to look like a guy whose game never made it through customs.
Coming off the bench behind Kyrie Irving for a second straight game, Rose looked unsure with the ball, evident in three turnovers in his 20 minutes. He was a pedestrian 3-for-6 from the free-throw line, missed an uncontested layup and seemed passive on offense (0-for-3) and inconsistent on defense (minus-4 in the plus/minus category).
He wasn't the player who first showed up to Las Vegas last month, wowing teammates and coaches on both sides of the ball.
But for now, Rose gets a free pass. He missed two days of practice and an exhibition game in New York while battling fatigue last week, and of course there's the elephant in the room of having played just 10 regular-season games since the 2012 playoffs because of season-ending surgeries to both knees.
Not that Rose minds being a decoy rather than a highlight film — a mentality he has preached since checking in to USA Basketball.
''For me individually, it's playing under control and shooting the right shots,'' Rose said recently. ''It's no need for me to force any shots with all the offensive threats that we have on our team. I don't have to shoot, not one shot, but just being prepared to shoot those shots whenever I have the opportunity.''
The important news is that Rose seemingly came out of Tuesday's game healthy. With three days to practice and rest for a stretch of five games in six days, Team USA's coaching staff will have to keep a close eye on Rose, making sure the rust is indeed coming off and there are no concerns about setbacks.
That's where Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, the USA assistant coach, comes in.
''You're going day by day,'' Thibodeau said of Rose's workload once the preliminary games begin. ''We knew that going in. . . . It is a progression. [Rose] has gotten a lot better. The main thing is shaking the rust off. He will continue to build. If he needs a day off, he will get a day off. He says he feels great.''
Meanwhile, rust remained the furthest thing from the mind of Chicagoan Anthony Davis. The big man dominated again Tuesday, scoring a team-high 18 points to go with nine rebounds and five blocks.

text: Greetings to all, We had a very successful demo this past weekend at the Sam Houston Folk Festival. Our Barony owes many thanks to Mistress Shanahan who devoted countless hours of driving from Bryan/College Station, planning meetings and hours of organizing for this demo for us. Vivat to Mistress Shanahan, our awesome hospitaler! We had approximately 25 people attend and help with the demo. Many thanks to HE Brian for bringing, setting up and taking down the pavillions. We watched many 'almost new' and seasoned fighters improve and teach each other during the two days of working on the list field in both chivalric and rapier fighting. Mistress Jalali and our bard Atticus entertained the audience with tales and songs. Many thanks to Lady Jan who traveled from Gate's Edge to help us again, this second year in a row. It was a treasured moment when she gifted Their Excellencies with woven red and black belts she had made herself! Many thanks to Dare who spent all 3 nights there watching our Baronial treasures that we had set up and had to leave each night. The best part of this demo however, was the camaraderie and bonding we did together while educating and sharing with the public. This bonding is the cement that holds us together even tighter as a Baronial family. If you missed this demo, this is the part that you can't replace. We feel closer to each person who came and helped. It was fun seeing our new fighters learn, improve and get to know us all as the great Baronial family known as Raven's Fort! VIVAT TO RAVEN'S FORT and those who came out and supported our great Barony! With love and pride, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Review this movie
Aug 6, 2014The Tim Burton's masterpiece, as good as Sleepy Hollow, in a different way... I loved this relation father/son and the lesson that we can learn : yes, maybe the stories told by your parents were not true... But it's not the most important. The most important is having a free-imagination ! And I love Ewan McGregor's acting !! And I love Danny Elfman's soundtrack ! In short, I love the atmosphere of this movie.… Expand
Sep 10, 2013I am a Tim Burton fan, and this film may not have his over the top imagery, but the story draws me in within minutes every time.
I love the way that this movie is paced. We are always hearing this tale and then finding out about the truth behind the tale and the outcomes that it has. I also like the way this movie reflects story telling and story tellers.
Jun 30, 2013I loved Big Fish. It was very uplifting and had a Forrest Gump feel to it. All the fairy tales told were engaging and heartwarming. I experienced a variety of emotions during this film and it almost drove me to tears. If you did not enjoy it then it is possible you did not understand it. I certainly did understand it and I still continue to love it.
Jun 30, 2013An incredibly well acted film combines the style of Tim Burton with a story that works emotionally and visually. This is one of Tim Burton's best films.
Jun 15, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is simply not a movie...it's a tall tale of an old dieing mans life and the magic that bestows him, the places he goes the people he meets, and how he became what he always was a BIG FISH IN A SMALL RIVER....and there's no doubt that didnt make me cry… Expand
Feb 23, 2013This is a film for anybody that has some concept of what it means to believe in imagination, magic, and stories. It is so enriching and emotionally powerful. Tim Burton may be different than other directors, but that is only because he understands what it takes to create a film that is worth watching no matter how unusual they can be.
Aug 2, 2012One of my all time favorite movies an amazing story heart warming a must watch recommend to all great family adventure first time I watched it went straight out & bought it its that kinda good
Jul 13, 2012What a magical movie this is. "Big Fish" challenges our faith and imagination with tales that sound too marvelous to be true, too extraordinary to be believable. But the strongest emotions are found between the broken relationship of a dying father and his doubtful son. After years of no communication, they are reunited when human age reaches its fragile state. The son sits on a chair as he observes his weak father, who lies in what could be his deathbed.
Old Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) is a devoted storyteller who believes that true stories could use a little fiction for entertainment purposes. On the day his only son, Will, was born, he was out of town selling home appliances. Not a very exciting story for such a very momentous event. When Will is set to be married, his father shares with everyone the false account of how he caught a really big fish with his wedding ring the same day Will was born. This draws smiles from his listeners, but not from Will, who has heard the same lie repeatedly throughout his life. He walks away. And he doesn't return until old Edward becomes confined to his bedroom/

May 26, 2012This movie is for daydreamers. This movie is so perfectly done that I dont know how people dont like it. Tim Burton, a genius. The whole analiysis you can make about this movie is incredible. How everything has a etymological meaning. I enjoyed it so much.
Mar 31, 2012Big Fish is a touching, moving, heartwarming and breathtaking film that will appeal to everyone. It is very creative and Tim Burton brings to life all the characters. One of the best movies of the year.
Nov 9, 2011This is a great movie and one of the most underrated films by Tim Burton. The film takes all of Burton's strengths and puts them into one. I can't recommend this enough.
Oct 23, 2011The adventures of a father, narrated by himself, that captivates the senses of any spectator except his son. It's brilliant how Tim draw this adventures, full of bizarre facts, details and characters and show us in a lyrical way that maybe when our parents are narrating their adventures, we should imagine them like Tim does.
Oct 8, 2010One of my favorite movies. It is a fantastic story full of imagination and creativity. It really has a way of making you think. Not many people get the movie or think about it long enough to understand it fully. People who tend to not think about it see it as a bad movie with crude and rude humor. But if you actually use your mind while watching you'll discover so much. It's a movie where you can't just turn off your brain for a couple hours. That's is what is so brilliant about it. Amazing cast and writers. MUST SEE MOVIE.… Expand
The movie is a gently overstuffed cinematic piñata, crammed with tall tales -- with giants and circuses and fairy-tale woods, plus a huge squirmy catfish, all served up with a literal matter-of-fact fancy that is very pleasing.
A tale that's so enriching, so heartwarming, so funny, so touching and so breathtaking, you'll wonder why the king of wackiness didn't branch out sooner.
A misfire. The film that wants to be lighter than air instead crashes to earth with the swiftness of a concrete parachute.

'Tracing Skylines' turns Detroit into urban ski slopes
Detroit's enormous amount of blight has inspired "creatives" from around the world, from music videos to movies. But this group has taken the word "creative" to the next level.
"Tracing Skylines," a movie made by Poor Boyz Productions and Red Bull Media House, shows skiers taking on rough terrain in Canada, France and of course, Detroit. The group is seen skiing in an abandoned church, factory (what looks to be the Packard Plant) and schools in and around Detroit. Check out the video below.

The Grain of Wheat: R.I.P. Pope John Paul II
By Deacon Keith Fournier
� Third Millennium, LLC
Catholic Online
�Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.�
John 12: 21-24
Like multiple millions throughout the entire world, my eyes and my heart have been turned to Rome during the events of this last week. The servant of the Servants of God, Pope John Paul II has now been placed in the earth. The �transitus�, the passing to eternal life, of this holy and wonderful gift from God is completed. The whole world has literally stood still, profoundly and significantly changed by the events of the week, but, more importantly, by the profound witness of one man so singularly conformed to the One whom he served, Jesus Christ.
The timing of this event is so prophetically profound that it belies words. He died as he lived, giving himself in surrendered love to the Lord, for the Lord and, in the Lord, for others; carrying forward the redemptive mission of Jesus, through his words and his witness of life and death. In fact, there is little doubt that he was, in both life and death, a �living letter�, as St Paul wrote. Now, like the Master whom he loved so eloquently, he has become a �grain of wheat�, fallen to the ground. On the last day, he, with the scores of all who died in Christ, will rise to the fullness of salvation, receiving his gloriously transformed and resurrected body to dwell with the Lord in a new heaven and a new earth.
However, until then, his legacy is a gift package to the Church and the world, waiting to be unpacked. Let us begin this work! Like so many others, my life has been forever changed by this giant and prophet who occupied Peters chair for such a brief time. As a young man, I was captured by his life, his message and his profound �hermeneutic�, his vision and message for our age. Once I started reading his writings, I knew I could not stop. I had to consume them, become them and offer them to others. The events of this past week have only heightened my passion and deepened my resolve.
Over all these years, I have tried, to proclaim and practice his message of love and life, his new evangelization, his extraordinary call to communion and authentic ecumenism, his culturally engaging message of authentic freedom, and, though I have done a little, I have failed to even touch the task. However, most importantly, I know the task does not end with my beloved Pope being paced in the dirt this morning. In fact, it has just begun. I know that in John Paul II, we are given a gift for building the Third Christian Millennium. His body of teachings, contained in his letters, his apostolic exhortations, his allocutions and his encyclical letters, re-present the timeless relevance of the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to an age that has lost its heart and soul. They also give all of us who are left behind the materials out of which we must now rebuild the Church and, through her, begin a new missionary age. Our call is the same call that has faced the Christian Church of every age, to restore all things in Christ, to bring a dying world and its inhabitants back to life through an encounter with Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Above all else, this is the message of the last week. Pope John Paul II is the great evangelist of the Third Christian Millennium.
Yes, his name, and his service over the last twenty six years, carried forward the trajectory of the Second Vatican Council, the great missionary and ecumenical Council of the last part of the Second Millennium. Yes, by choosing that name, he honored the work and memory of his predecessors, John XXIII, Paul VI, and John Paul I - and signaled the continuity of the true message of that Council, which he had so much to do with. But he did so much more. He embodied the spirit of the original Christian leaders who bore those names.
He lived the Gospel of Love that was written -and lived - by the beloved disciple, the Apostle John who gave us the fourth gospel in the New Testament along with the beautiful epistles that bear his name. He lived the passion and holy compulsion demonstrated by the great Apostle and Evangelist Paul who took that Gospel of Jesus Christ out to the ends of the earth and also left us, in the Canon of the Bible, the most profound theology of the mission of the Church. John Paul II was a �living letter� or a �living epistle� and his life and death have touched an age desperately in need of redemption. He was a Patristic Pope, a Father, and his death now heralds a new Patristic ...

Southern Regional is an event being held at Raven's Fort. We are providing the site and privies. The other BAronys of the Region are providing other parts to the event. The event is held for a southern regional warlord for war. Usually the regional warlords are chosen that lead the troops of that are to war like at Gulf war. But instead the southern regioal warlord will be chosen in a tournement. The northern region is the only other region that does this. It is a combined effort of the region to come together and work together on an event for the people of the region. The black star has an add in it. Hope that answers some of your questions.

Scientists are closing in on what caused three massive holes to open up mysteriously in northern Siberia last July. This week a team of Russian researchers roped their way down 34 feet to the bottom of the largest crater and found no evidence of alien beings or meteorites that some people had offered up as possible explanations. "We managed to go down into the funnel, all was successful," Vladimir Pushkarev, director of the Russian Center of Arctic Exploration and the leader of the team, told The Siberian Times. "We took all the probes we planned, and made measurements. Now scientists need time to process all the data and only then can they draw conclusions." So what did cause the holes to form? According to Pushkarev, the leading theory is that the holes were created by pockets of gas that exploded underground.

Behind this wall lies Estonia's Murru Prison complex, an abandoned jail that finally closed more than 20 years ago. Limestone used to be mined by the prisoners here, a forced task that made life in this Soviet-era complex a nightmare. But since Murru Prison's closure, this area has become somewhat of a tourist attraction. The complex has filled with water in the quarry and is now an above-water playground. It's bizarre to think that a notorious prison was just feet away from crystal clear, aqua-blue waters. But every summer this complex fills up with locals and tourists, eager to play around the dilapidated jail. The broken down complex is popular for water jumps.

497 Tasting Notes
Savouring my third cup of this for the evening. I can't wait to get my hands on some of this dry and steep it from the beginning so I can taste all the subtle creamy variations. You know, DT, I was starting to lose faith in you a little. The last few blends have been a little iffy. But you have come back strong with this blend, even if it is light on the actual tea content for the price.
It was creamy and sweet, which seems to be a tea-theme for me today. Reminded me of Check Mate with less of the chocolate flavour, but keeping the sweet coconutty creaminess.
I really enjoyed this tea! I may hunt down TinaS for the rest of the sample that Jessie split between us.
Dry, the leaves didn't smell overwhelmingly of much at all, but once steeped it lived up to the name in a big way, a mellow tea with a smooth and sweet white chocolate creaminess. I wanted to just hold each swallow in my mouth for a while until it melted. Next time I might steep it a little shorter to bring out the sweet chocolate without the white tea getting more astringent. There was a kind of oily film on the top of the cup, I guess from the milk drops, but it didn't put me off at all. Overall, a deliciously dessert tea.
When I was in high school, I actually worked at Tim Hortons for almost a year. I wasn't a tea- or coffee-drinker at the time, but I would make an extra-large hot chocolate almost every shift. Two squirts of cream and a peppermint tea bag before pouring the hot chocolate made a divine drink.
To me, Tim's peppermint will always be the addition to a rich cup of hot chocolate. On its own, as I had it today, it's just underwhelming. Not quite enough of anything to be satisfying, but good in a pinch to deal with headache or tummy troubles.
Dug a bag of this out of the Mystery Box of tea on our counter, I don't know from whence it came, but I was craving something for headache-busting and the ginger sounded good.
This started off as a surprisingly tasty, robust tea. The eponymous ginger and peach balanced each other out for a taste that wasn't too spicy or wasn't too sweet. I probably could have steeped it for a little longer to bring out more of the flavour, but I read the bag of the packet as it was brewing and I discovered that there was hibiscus in it, and hibiscus steeped too long becomes the Day of the Triffids of tea.
Unfortunately, as it cooled, the Triffids had their day. The more I drank it, the more I got a back-hint of hibiscus and rubber balloon. Don't think I'd go for this one again, even though it started out so promising.
Needed an anti-headache pick-me-up today (and, apparently, ALL THE HYPHENS) so my lovely wife made me a cup of this to take to work. It made it all the way to the bus stop with me and was quickly gone. I have so much love in my heart for the peppermint tea. It's just so blissfully unadulterated.
I got more of an Huh La La from this than any specific Ooh.
It was very fruity, no disappointment there. The scent of the dry leaf definitely lived up to the tea, but the overall flavour was very heady and overwhelming; I'd say "oppressive" but it's only oppressive in that way that an old lady's perfume is oppressive when she's standing right beside you. Very off-putting. I don't know if I would reach for it again.
Finally got around to trying this, combating a bit of a headache and mint and a bit of caffeine usually helps. Red Leaf does an amazing Earl, but I have been underwhelmed by the rest of their offerings. The mint was very mild and the green tea tasted stale and dusty. It was better than a kick in the teeth.

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee's oldest town has begun the monumental job of archiving its history.
Officials in Washington County hired Ned Irwin, who has been the archivist at East Tennessee State University since 1994, to put important historical records in order.
Irwin told the Johnson City Press that he, one employee and several volunteers are going through records that fill four tractor-trailers sitting near the old county jail in Jonesborough. The records include court cases, deeds and records from the sheriff's department, some that are more than 200 years old.
The records will be housed at the county's old jail, which is being converted to hold the items.
Irwin said the job of preserving such important documents is "humbling."

As we see here (http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_carry_permit_reciprocity_maps.html), New Mexico still does not recognize Kentucky. You can easily Open Carry there. I have done it for years.
You just have to be very wary of that 1,000 foot Gun Free School Zone. :evil:

NM doesn't honor my CCP either. I plan on spending a considerable amount of time in NM this winter. I will just OC when I'm there and go on about my business. I prefer to CC but if the state of NM would rather me OC that's fine with me. I don't understand why they would do that because one is still armed and OC sometimes grates on the more sensitive, less open minded citizens of the urban areas but I don't make the rules.

Note that it appears that New Mexico will honor an Arizona permit. It would be relatively easy to obtain a non-resident Arizona permit (http://www.azdps.gov/Services/Concealed_Weapons/Permits/Obtain/). It may be done entirely by mail.

The Pillow itself is very soft, But I only Received 1 Pillow.When it CLEARLY STATES It comes in a SET OF 2.I would not recommend this for a small child.For an Adult it is a nice pillow.I Hope to receive my 2nd Pillow Soon.
Fabulous feel, color and size! Purchased for my 8 yr old granddaughter's queen size bed. These pillows are perfect layered in row two on the bed. She loves them.
the pillow overall was to hard for a childs pillow and it was so large my kids chin was on her chest and looked like it strained her neck. But as and adult pillow its okay.
It is too high for my7years old. I would say this product is for kids 10 up. The fluffy cover is nice in touch but can't be taken off! Thus they are not washable and I am very disappointed.

With Victory Plaza taking over downtown and the (possible) reinvention of Deep Ellum, downtown Dallas is poised to be the next big thing. But what about the old thing? We often forget about the past, and the fact that Dallas has so much history is unfortunately lost on a lot of us. Thankfully, the Dallas Historical Society, with help from historian and author Dr. Michael V. Hazel, are around to show us our roots. Amid the Skyscrapers of Downtown Dallas is a tour of important local landmarks such as Dealey Plaza, the Old Red Courthouse, Pioneer Cemetery, Theater Row and more. The tour is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and leaves from the Hall of State in Fair Park, 3939 Grand Ave. Tickets are $35 for DHS members, $45 for non-members (lunch included).

Been There, Done That: How Personal Stories Can Help Fight Teen Pressure to Use Drugs
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Over the last year I have been making an effort to speak with parent and student groups about the effects of addiction on a person and all of those associated with a person who is suffering from addiction.
While my son was actively using drugs, my activity concerning this subject irritated him. It made him uncomfortable and angry. For some reason he did not want me speaking to groups. Maybe it made him feel embarrassed or ashamed.
For nearly six months my son has been working on his recovery and is not using. For me this is quite an accomplishment to see a heroin addict make such a huge turnaround in his life. Itâs hard to believe that only six months ago he was speedballing and his mother and I were discussing the fatal outcome of those engaged in this activity. Hope springs eternal.
Recently I was asked to speak to students at our local high school about the effects of drugs on young people. When I told my son I was going to speak he asked if he could go with me and speak to them first-hand about what drugs have done to him. This is a HUGE step for anyone in recovery. Facing their addiction head on and in front of a group takes courage.
We spoke to about 50 students that were in the age group of 14-15 years old. My son is only 22. When he began to talk and answer questions about drugs and his addiction those students were riveted by him. You could almost feel an electric connection between him and those students. His message was direct and in a language they understood. He showed them scars on his arms caused by infections from dirty needles. He talked about what it is like in jail, going through detox in a cell. He spoke of all his lost opportunities with college, jobs and relationships. Maybe his most powerful statement in response to a question about why he started using was, âI started because I wanted to be cool, this is not cool, this is the worst thing you could ever do in your life. Using leads to becoming addicted and I canât even describe how horrible that is.â
This format of an experienced young adult speaking to a group of teens is the most powerful weapon I have seen in waking up young people to the risks of drugs and alcohol. Letâs face it, Iâm just another old guy telling these kids not to use drugs, but when someone in their age group stands there and tells a personal story with all the graphic details — that is called bringing out the heavy artillery.
By sharing his personal story he helped the kids connect the hazards of drug usage. Being close to their age and someone who has âbeen there done thatâ I believe deeply resonated with them, inspiring them to think differently about the consequences of the choices they make.
Education about the dangers of drug and alcohol use is all about being relatable. No matter if it is parents, relatives, friends, professionals or peers, the key to helping your child fight the pressure to use drugs is education. Give them a way out of those pressure situations. Do not be naive and believe that your child will not be exposed to the opportunity to use drugs. Every single young person out there has to make a decision about whether or not to try using drugs or drinking. Parents, take the offensive; do not wait until the monster has entered your home. Slaying this monster is about educating its prey, before he has a chance to attack.
By the way, I want every person that reads this to know; I cannot remember a time when I was more proud of my son. I stood up at the end of the presentation in front of all of those kids and told them with my voice cracking how proud I was of him to come speak with me.
Editorâs Note: Like any relationship, your relationship with your child changes over time. For ways to talk to your child about drugs at every age, please visit our Parent Tool Kit.

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010
As I was taking attendance in my Intro to Psych class last Friday morning, I noticed that Dana* was absent. Dana, one of my star students, was scheduled to make a presentation on Body Dysmorphic Disorder (a type of chronic mental illness in which you can't stop thinking about a flaw with your appearance), a topic of her choosing to satisfy one of the course requirements. I was surprised that she did not show up, or at least email to say that she would not make it for whatever reason.Â
On Monday morning, Dana walked through the door of my classroom looking a little wan. After my lecture, she came up to me and told me that she had missed class on Friday because she spent the morning in the hospital having her stomach pumped â a casualty of Four Loko. As a mother of two who has dealt with the challenges of my own sonâs drug problem, very little shocks me when it comes to what college students do to experiment. But even I was a bit surprised when I heard Dana, one of my best and brightest, was experimenting without fully understanding the short-term and long-term effects of her decisions.Â
Four Loko, also known as âblackout in a can,â is a caffeinated, alcoholic, malt beverage that comes in a variety of flavors including fruit punch, grape and watermelon, and sold alongside non-alcoholic beverages. The danger of Four Loko is the combination of alcohol, a depressant, and caffeine, a stimulant. The caffeine helps the person feel more alert and lessens the sense of being drunk, so a person often consumes more alcohol than he or she would otherwise.Â
Dana said she wanted to âexperimentâ with alcohol after Midnight Madness on campus and decided to try Four Loko mixed with Vodka. It wasnât long before her friends noticed that she wasnât functioning very well. They asked her to pick up a piece of paper on the floor and when she attempted to do so, she fell flat on her face. Dana doesnât remember much of what happened after that, except that when she came to, she still didnât feel well. Finally, a friend called for help and she was taken by ambulance to the hospital where she was treated for alcohol poisoning.
Dana asked me if she could change her research topic to binge drinking on college campuses because of her personal experience. She wanted to convey to her classmates just how deadly drinking can be, and that had it not been for the intervention of her friends, we would be attending her funeral, not listening to her presentation. I readily agreed, hoping that her voice would make a difference where mine had not.Â
I lectured about binge drinking a few weeks earlier â I had hoped that it would be engaging, informative and persuasive. The only point that I think may have stuck was asking my students not to leave an inebriated student alone to âsleep it offâ because of the risk of respiratory failure or choking on oneâs own vomit. Maybe, just maybe, Dana is alive because one person took those words to heart.
The controversy over Four Loko continues. Just this this past weekend, New Yorkâs Senator Chuck Schumer called for a ban on Four Loko in New York because of the many stories like Danaâs. States like Michigan and Oklahoma have already banned the drink because of its deadly consequences on college campuses. Regardless of its legal status, I hope students, parents and educators alike can spread the message that it is not worth dying for Four Loko.
