"Miracles and the Modern Mind"
|Genesis 17:1-5, 17-18, "Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless. 2 I will establish My covenant between Me and you, And I will multiply you exceedingly.' 3 Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying, 4 'As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations....' 17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, 'Will a child be born to a man one hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?' 18 And Abraham said to God, 'Oh that Ishmael might live before You!'"
This is one of those passages in the Bible which I suppose God used to show His power (and possibly humor?). God calls a man named Abram from the land of Ur. This man He says will be "the father of a multitude of nations." God then changes his name from Abram to Abraham which literally means "father of a multitude."
God then tells Abraham twice that he will be "the father of a multitude of nations." However, Abraham realized the absolute absurdity of he and his wife being the parents of children since Sarah was 90 and he was 99! However, despite Abraham and Sarah's skepticism, God was true to His Word. Sarah gave birth to Isaac (whose name literally means "laughter") who became the father of Israel.
I suppose that if God told us the same thing today we might respond with the same amount of laughter. Like Abraham and Sarah, we probably would not expect God to do such a marvelous work. God, after all, some believe does not do miracles today. That was just in the Bible times. Right?
As Christians, we often live like practical atheists in the sense that we do not expect the Supernatural God to ever work in our lives in a miraculous way. We live our lives according to our expectations and naturalistic leanings. We do not even pray for bigger and better, God-altering, and self-smashing things to manifest themselves through the Infinite Deity. Instead, we pray "God be with us" or "bless this" or "protect this."
Maybe we should pray differently. Maybe we should expect the God of the Bible who rose from the dead and still sustains the universe by His power to sometimes, just sometimes, want to show off His power through us? Maybe we should pray specifically for things... pray with a passion...pray with a fervency. If you do not pray specifically, you may not even know when God gives you an answer.
Do you expect God to work in your life? Are you willing to "look" for God? You may not hear a booming voice out of heaven, or you may not necessarily have a child at 90 years of age, but are you open to God using you in a miraculous way? Maybe God has impressed something on your heart to do something "miraculous." Maybe you need to call and apologize to some person who wronged you -- even though they deserve your anger. Maybe you need to bless an enemy who is "despitefully using you." What is your situation? Will you obey God and do what the flesh says is "absurd?"
Anyhow, one of the ways God may work in your life is through dependence on Him through prayer and the study of His Word. I have personally been convicted this week of not spending enough time in God's Word. Therefore, I am just going to read through the Bible from beginning to end and take thorough notes. It is truly amazing how rich and deep the Word of God is! It never ceases to amaze me how many new insights are available in that amazing Book!
Finally, each day surrender your life to God. Ask Him to use you to glorify Him. You never know who are what he will bring across your path. Be available and be watching for what He will do! Maybe He will work a miracle in your life, just as He did in Abraham's.

Ryan Turner
We finally have managed to get a few videos on YouTube! Please see www.youtube.com/carmvidoes for some samples of our work. I want to thank all of you out there who offered advice and your valuable time to help make this possible. I have been working busily with Matt over the past few months to get this done. There are always improvements that can be made, but I think we have most of the bugs out. You should expect to see a lot more videos showing up on YouTube by CARM in the next upcoming days.
If you have any comments, please do not hesitate to email us. We deeply appreciate your feedback and are not offended by any constructive criticism.
I am still working on researching Hinduism. I am slowly making more progress in that direction. I realize the huge need for good evangelistic material for reaching the Eastern mindset. It is just a lot of work for me to step into the Eastern world. They think a lot differently than us Judeo-Christian Westerners!
Halloween and Tracts.
I also want to encourage all of you out there to take advantage of this Halloween season to share your faith. I plan on giving out tracts at the door to kids who come to my house "trick or treating." I will probably be giving them candy also, but this is a great time to do some witnessing.
If you are looking for good tracts to give out during Halloween, please visit www.chick.com. Some good tract titles offered by Jack Chick to give out to kids are "Boo" (for younger kids), "Charlie's Ants" (for middle to older kids), and "Boo!" (for older kids). You can read various titles of the tracts online and choose the titles that best interest you. Interestingly, kids will read the Chick Tracts since they are written in a comic book format. Rather than hiding from the "trick or treaters," use this opportunity to share the gospel to your friends and neighbors. Why not give Satan a black eye?

This feature is not so we can make fun of anyone. This is serious stuff. It is to show what kind of thinking is out there. We regularly get stuff like this. Pray for this ministry.
We received this email from someone making a comment about the three heavens mentioned in the Bible. This person states that the three heavens refer to "Astral, Causal and Sach Khand (God's dwelling place) the first heaven is the Astral Plane, the doorway to it is in most near death experiences, the stars, moon and sun and other constellation refers to the inner sun, moon and stars." I hope all of your are now enlightened.
|CARM Needs Staff
|How would you like to work in the ministry where the rewards are small, the challenges are huge, you get ridiculed, there's spiritual attack, sometimes you don't know if you are going to make it financially, you have to support yourself, and you have to research and write about false systems and compare them with Scripture?
If that sounds appealing, then maybe you might be interested in working with CARM.
You can be male or female. You have to agree to the CARM statement of faith, and I prefer (though it is not necessary) people who are educated and/or experienced in their field of expertise. But I must reiterate; this is not an easy ministry. It is time-consuming, often unrewarding, frustrating, etc. But, there are rewards. You get to know that what you produce will affect thousands of people for years to come. This ministry is a challenge and it is not for the fainthearted. Interested? If so, contact Matt at [email protected]

KØS special museum of art in public places - Køge
KØS is the Danish special museum of art in public places. The museum has existed since 1977 and is located with its museum shop and café in Nørregade pedestrian street in the heart of charming Køge.
Being Denmark's only museum of the art we all know from our urban spaces, hospitals, castles, churches and other public places, KØS has a character of its own.
KØS does not collect and exhibit the finished works of art displayed in public places. But in the same way as museums of architecture, which do not "collect" the finished buildings, the museum's collection includes more than 7,000 drawings, models and other preparatory studies for these very special works of art.
Among the museum's highlights are Bjørn Nørgaard's sketches for the Queen's gobelins at Christiansborg Palace. The 17 huge, coloured cartoons and a number of other sketches for the gobelins are on view on the museum's attractive top floor as are films about the production process etc.
The collection includes works by a large number of illustrious Danish artists, the list going back as far as Constantin Hansen's preparatory works for the decoration of Copenhagen University in the 19th century, Edvard Eriksen's original plaster model of "The Little Mermaid" from 1910, up to Gunnar Westmann's popular animal sculptures and Per Kirkeby's sketches for works like his huge decoration of the Geological Museum in 2004. Experimental contemporary artists are also represented in the collection, e.g. Thomas FOS Poulsen's "Oslo Bar" from 1999, an experiment in the so-called "social sculpture", and most recently KØS has received a donation from ten of Denmark's leading contemporary artists in the form of the sketches and models used for the comprehensive redecoration of the Crown Prince Couple's residence at Amalienborg Palace. ---KØS ist das dänische Spezialmuseum für Kunst im öffentlichen Raum. Das Museum existiert seit 1977 und befindet sich mit Museumsladen und Café in der Fuβgängerstraβe Nørregade im Herzen der gemütlichen Stadt Køge.

NC law firms ask to raise food, funds for needy
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Legal sharks are putting their competitive nature to use by raising resources to feed the hungry.
Attorney General Roy Cooper and the Young Lawyers Division of the North Carolina Bar Association are launching a competition between the state's law firms to collect food and funds for food banks. The lawyers' Feeding Frenzy competition kicks off Tuesday at the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina in Raleigh.
The law firm or organization that raises the most food receives an award called the Attorney General's Cup.
A recent study by Feeding America finds North Carolina has one of the highest rates in the country of citizens who don't know where they'll find enough to eat.

Friends that waste money

Then we always have some cash in our little safe at home if we run short of what we have (but we have not touched that in a couple years now.)
I also walk into the bank during my lunch to do it, so I really never use an ATM except to deposit miscellaneous checks if the bank looks full.
Are you all not forecasting spending? Or do you not have emergency funds? Please enlighten me as to why you would use the ATM, this has me kind of baffled.

We used to not talk about sex, and guess what, we do now. Talking about money might actually help others, and in those households where parents talk to the kids about money, the kids do have a greater understanding.

Ha - this is my DH all over. It used to drive me CRAZY. In his case, it's splitting up shopping trips instead of doing them all on one day, which wastes time and gas. There is a small, expensive grocery store about 2 miles from us, and for the last few years he goes there nearly every day to shop. He calls it his pantry!
You know what - I decided to let it go. I am sure we spend at least $100 extra per month on food because of this habit of his, but it's not worth getting bent out of shape over. When we needed to be tighter with money, he was. Since he's a SAHD and does all the shopping and cooking (and he's an AMAZING cook), I figure if I complain about it, then I'm telling him to do his job and that's not fair to him. It's not how I'd do it, and I grind my teeth over it every year when I add up all those debits, but for the harm it would do our relationship, I just let it go. He takes a lot of pride in his cooking and in taking care of us, and I'm not going to spoil his enjoyment of caring for us with my nit-picking.
Not saying you would have nitpicked this guy - I DID nitpick DH when it was important - it just isn't that important now.
He gave me a fright last night - I had opened a bottle of wine to drink with dinner while he was out at dog-training lessons with our newest dog. When he got home, he said, "That was a $60 bottle of wine, I hope you're enjoying it." I nearly passed out, then realized (a) he wouldn't spend $60 on a bottle of wine and (b) even if he did, it wouldn't be on a Rioja which you can usually get for about $10. He's a laugh riot, that one.

And one thing no one has mentioned yet, is how we explain the discrepancies to our kids!
Remember when we were little and used to ask our mom "can't you just write a check?" And now it is "can't you use your card?" After telling DD "I don't have enough money today."
Some days she is just a big snot about it all, and other days she is fine staying within a budget on a particular shopping trip.
I just keep telling her its about choices.
There does have to be some joy in our day to day life, even if that means debt repayment takes a little longer. I think we all have a vice, or something of importance we deem worth the monetary cost.

I hear you about friends wasting money! I have a friend who was recently married (must have spent anywhere from $50 -$60K on the wedding). They honeymooned for three weeks in Thailand. They've been on a cruise, they went to Hawaii for a friends wedding.They are amazing people but I worry about them. They both work for the gov't and I know how much they make (its available online here). Its good, but not that good (just over $100K between them) They actually decided to sell their house and rent a dive apartment while they're waiting for the new one to be built because they are burried in consumer debt.
But all I can do is hope that they turn it around soon so it doesn't bite them later!
|Thu, 10-11-2012 - 8:28am
It's funny that you mention wasting money through non-network ATMs and paying more at some places versus others. I know I plan certain errands around where my network ATMs are so I can grab cash and go do what I need to do.
I've also kept a log of food prices in my computer for the past year. I keep my 3 big shopping places in there so when a better price comes up at a closer store I can be aware. In some cases the cost of gas to get to the store negates any savings I may have gotten by shopping there.
I hope to eventually be one of those folks who can charge everything and pay it off to net the rewards of a card. Good points.

Oh yes, I can think of several friends and family that stick out in my mind when it comes to spending and priorities. It's frustrating to hear the complaints while seeing them be foolish.
DH and I are friends with a couple who are in so far over their heads that I don't know how they'll survive if he ever leaves the service. They finance cars and ATVs at 100% and then trade them in for something brand new before they're finished paying off the old loan. Last I heard they paid almost 30k for her brand new Nissan cube and something like 13k for a used ATV because they were rolling their old loans into the new ones. Every pay day it's "We're so broke, we can barely pay bills" but they eat out at least once a week.
He deployed two years ago and they managed to pay down one card but other than that they spent all of the extra money he earned. They got a sizeable tax refund that January and bought two brand new iPads. I reminded her that she had wanted to pay down/off some debt with the money but she said she was tired of just paying the bills and wanted a new toy. :-X
We have the occasional money discussion, but they seem to be happy just paying minimums as long as they have some extra at the end.
|Wed, 10-10-2012 - 10:56am
Oh that is so sad about your stepmom.
DH & I had *just* gotten out of debt in 2008 when we took a family vacation to Ireland. The "smart" thing would probably have been to not go and save the $15,000, but at that point our kids were 16, 13 and 8, and they were only going to be around for a certain number of years more. Since then, we've gone to England, Scotland, Virginia and California, and I'm very glad we've spent the money to do it. Those are shared family experiences we'll always have together. In less than two years, DS will have graduated college and may not be able to or want to go on family vacations with us.
I am always fascinated by how people spend their money (assuming they have it to spend, of course). My best friends spent over $100,000 this past year on renovating two bathrooms and having the inside of their house painted, and they go out to eat at nice restaurants a couple of times a week, but she buys her clothes at Old Navy and he only owns two pairs of jeans and eight pairs of shoes including sneakers. His cousin lives in a $10 million house and her husband makes millions of dollars a year but she buys her clothes at Walmart. To each his own, I guess.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Douglas, Richard email@example.com URN etd-03122010-141255 Document Title Leadership of organisational change in successful HIV/AIDS workplace interventions Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M Sutherland Keywords
- leadership
- aids
Date 2008-11-13 Availability unrestricted Abstract
It is essential that business responds to the threat presented by HIV/AIDS, not only for economic sustainability, but for the sustainability of society at large. Consequently, the National Strategic Plan for HIV & AIDS and STIs for 2007- 2011 has called for the private sector's involvement in a multi-sectoral response.
This research set out to validate the premise that strong and decisive leadership of large scale organisational change is required for a successful business response. The research also sought to identify the reasons for the change and the power bases employed.
The research was undertaken in two phases. Ten experts in the HIV/AIDS field were consulted to determine a judgemental sample of ten companies with successful HIV/AIDS workplace interventions. In-depth interviews were conducted with the manager responsible for HIV/AIDS at each company.
The interviews were structured around organisational change, leadership and power base theories. The change efforts were found to be motivated by a combination of a moral obligation and humanitarian conscience, and a persuasive business case. That large scale change was indeed required was only realised post event.
The output of this research culminated in a model that can be applied in organisations that have implemented, or intend to implement, HIV/AIDS workplace interventions. The model illustrates the elements which have proven successful in HIV/AIDS workplace interventions.
It comprises nine stages of change - four dimensions of the strategy for change and four factors that influence change and the leadership thereof. Commitment from the most senior leadership in the organisation was identified as a prerequisite for success, with nine out of ten CEOs being mentioned by name with their contributions acknowledged.
It was found that of the five power bases, Legitimate and Expert power were most commonly leveraged and that the use of Coercive/Punitive power to gain compliance was inappropriate in this context.

Dear readers,
I decided to stop posting to this blog at the end of 2013. The good news is that I am still posting regularly on my Czech Please FaceBook and Czech Please Twitter pages (links embedded here).
I'm still regularly posting photos and comments about my latest eating adventures, mini-reviews, as well as all the links I can find related to food and drink in Prague and sometimes beyond.
It was a great seven years of blogging, but it was time to move on to new pastures and media.

Brewsta's Burgers 2013
"I would rather be having a burger and beers with my mates, but I can't do that when I know I've got to dance." Michael Flatley'Tis the season to read about burgers. My annual burger ranking list is here.
I've decked my arteries with loads of fat and cholesterol for the last 12 months. I've eaten many old favorites, skipped some from previous years, and added some fresh meat, so to speak.
This is the sixth year of Brewsta's Burgers. Last year's list was the most read article of 2012 on Expats.cz. The hunger for burgers in the Czech Republic grows ever larger.
As always, I repeat my standard disclaimer: This is not a list of Prague's "best" burgers. It is a subjective survey of the ones I either liked or disliked the most, based on my personal taste.
What's my taste? I prefer beef flame-grilled or with a seared crust from a steel grill, cooked medium, seasoned with salt, perhaps light pepper, and classic, American-style construction and toppings. I like my bacon lightly crisp. I'd rather not have the toppings on the bottom, where they get hot and soggy.
I did my best, whenever possible, to compare bacon cheeseburgers or to keep the comparisons as similar as possible. I do not consider price as a main factor, but it does influence my thinking to a small degree.
The 23 burgers below are a record of what I ate over the course of the year. I did cram an unhealty number of burger "tastings" into the last two months. Some I had more than once, but if the burgers got better, worse, or changed significantly the week after I was there, that's too bad.
Here we go, from my worst to my first:
23. U Tří růží
22. True Blue
21. Peter's Burger Pub
19. Burger King
18. Arriero Express
17. La Bottega Di Finestra
16. Domyno Burger
15. Blackdog Cantina
14. Krystal Mozaika Bistro
The Krystal Burger (189 CZK) dropped slightly in my esteem compared to last year. The salty ground beef was overcooked, but still juicy. But I'd definitely say it was chewier and I didn't enjoy it as much. It came with very good, semi-crisp bacon, and their homemade bun was lovely, as always. On it, there was lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and an abundance of mayo mixed with mustard seed. They served it with squeeze bottles of mustard and ketchup, which tasted like Heinz. Fries were not included, but I'm not a big fan of their thin, McDonald's-style fries anyway.
13. Jáma Restaurant
12. Bohemia Bagel Holešovice
11. Café Sladkovský
10. Brown Bag Burger
9. Mozaika
8. TGI Friday's
7. Hard Rock Cafe
6. Bejzment
5. Mood
4. George Prime Steak
3. Fish & Chips
2. The Tavern
This handy burger trouble-shooting guide, much of which I agree with, explains those issues. Fries were not included.
1. Dish {Fine Burger Bistro}
Umami Burger. I went to an Umami Burger in Santa Monica, California two years ago, and I'd say he came pretty close. Dish's homemade fries cost extra. It was already almost impossible to get a seat in the very small restaurant and it was sometimes completely booked days ahead. Good luck.
If you don't agree with this list, make your own. Someone else may have to do it next year. I found it seriously challenging to eat this vast quantity of burgers. I'm not sure I'll survive if I keep it up.
And now is a good time to announce that for purely personal reasons, I'm stepping back from writing regular restaurant reviews. I'll still post about what I'm discovering and eating on my Czech Please Facebook and Twitter pages. But these days now, I don't have the time to give longer reviews the time and attention they deserve. It's been a great run, and when I have something I really want to say, I'll find the time to get it out there.

Ola Kala Bistro
"Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than in the non-performance of base ones." AristotleI used to play in an amateur rock band. From time to time, I'd play at big parties or small clubs. I was comfortable in front of an audience. Sometimes too comfortable. It was easy to fall into patterns and routines, to lose focus.
But if I knew there was a serious musician in the audience, I'd take it to another level.
I had a similar feeling when I struck up a friendship with Adam, an LA movie producer who lived in Prague for the past six months. He's a world traveler with a sophisticated and discerning palate. The man knows his food and drink.
When we started having regular dinners, I realized it's time to see how well Prague restaurants, based on my recommendations, played to a knowledgeable and discriminating audience. The set list of eateries was up to me.
I wanted to share the city's best and some gems off the beaten track. We hit Osteria da Clara, La Bottega di Finestra, SaSaZu, Chagall's Club, La Gastronomia, and even Letna beer garden.
Without me, Adam found Sansho, Ichnusa, La Finestra, La Degustation and many others. One day, as I was searching my mind for a place worthy of sharing, I walked up Korunni in Vinohrady and saw Ola Kala Bistro.
menu looked good, but it felt like a gamble, without much word of mouth to go on. It is connected to a cooking school of the same name, which I considered a positive. We decided to take a chance and give it a try.
The dining room is filled with light, cream-colored fabrics and wood, with brick walls adding some contrast.
Our waiter brought a bread basket with softened, salted butter.
We ordered a bottle of red wine, the 2008 Côtes de Bourg from Château de Croûte (779 CZK).
We both received an amuse bouche. The chef was thoughtful because Adam had informed the waiter that he did not eat pork, so his was different than mine.
I had a lightly cooked zucchini slice rolled up with bacon cream, which was salty but a decent way to wake up the taste buds.
For a starter, Adam had the duck parfait (168 CZK).
Underneath the cool layer of white fat, there was smooth, rich, fatty duck liver pâté.
I had the monkfish starter (320 CZK), which was a special.
The dish came with mango-coconut sauce. It was sweet, but neither flavor in the sauce really stood out. The chili "gel," which I liked, tasted quite similar to the red pepper and garlic relish, ajvar. Overall, I thought the dish was overpriced and underflavored.
For a main course, Adam had the flap steak (397 CZK). The very tender cut (by Prague standards) was cooked rare and was one of the best steaks I've had in a while.
However, it came with a delicious red wine "gravy," something of a demi-glace, that added a savory richness. Adam particularly enjoyed the lightly-cooked red onions. The potatoes were competently cooked, but also fairly flavorless. The little celery-Zucchini "salad" on the side had too much mayo.
I had the veal cheeks in a red wine sauce (357 CZK). This I loved.
For dessert, I had the 64% Manjari chocolate "mousse" (165 CZK).
He was more impressed by his dessert, the chocolate fondant (165 CZK).
The meal ended with even more chocolate -- creamy, intense handmade truffles.
The service was friendly and smiling, but not always well-informed. The bill came to 2551 CZK without tip. It would have been closer to 2000 CZK without the bottle of wine.
While not perfect, there were plenty of hits, and we both felt pleased with our choice of Ola Kala Bistro. I'd compare it favorably with restaurants I've enjoyed in Prague's historic center like Kalina and Chagall's Club.
I'd recommend you stop in for a performance.

SFotD: 'Road's End' is Delightfully UnnervingFeatures By Scott Beggs on December 17, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Why Watch? In this quick shot, a mysterious figure stands over a car wreck, then thumbs a ride to get down the road without saying a word. It's that silence that Bri Meyer plays with here so well. It's a touch of Twilight Zone with some quirky animation and a lot of uneasy tension created between the welcoming traveler and the hitchhiker who won't respond. Fortunately, that colorful sense of foreboding is never too heavy, and it pays off with an expected yet satisfying outcome that Rod Serling would probably chuckle at. What will it cost you? Only 2 minutes. Skip work. Watch more short films.

Two Reject heavyweights go head to head on whether or not Pixar's first is really worth all the hype it gets.

We're starting the weekend off on a high note. PC Magazine reviewed BookSmart, and we earned the coveted 4 Stars rating. This is our first "official" product review (after all we're still in beta), and it's always a little scary to turn your baby over to someone whose primary goal is basically to beat it up and figure out what's wrong.
BookSmart more than held its own under the scrutiny: "BookSmart impressively accommodates both casual and intricate usage. It's sophisticated enough to do most of the work for you but loaded with enough options to let you dig in and customize every detail…it's efficient, simple to use, yet gives you a lot of options to play around with—perfect for those who like to let their creativity shine."
We do our best to make a killer product, and it's cool to see the folks at PC Mag react in such a positive way.

Hawks split 1-1 over break
RED OAK - Although school let out Friday, Nov. 25 the Hawks basketball teams had a couple of non-district games before Thanksgiving.
The first game was on Monday, Nov. 21 against Dallas Adamson High School.
The Freshman and JV teams had the early games and both used their speed and outside shooting to open up big leads which eventually led to fast break lay ups later in the game.
Both ran away with their games with double digit wins.
The varsity, not to be out done, also got out to a quick start, but Adamson hung around for a half.
It was in the second half where the Hawks took control.
Adamson could not stop the Hawks from cutting inside and getting easy baskets.
Jeremiah Gaines nearly had a dunk, but was fouled on the way up to the basket.
Late in the fourth and up big, the Hawks moved the ball around to run the clock out for the 68-40 win.
On Tuesday, Nov. 22, the Hawks faced 5A Mesquite Horn in another non-district game.
The freshman team got behind early and never got close.
They faced a double digit deficit all game and were down big at halftime.
The JV game however, was a different story and the best game of the night.
The Hawks had a chance to likely win the game at the free throw line, but missed two shots giving Horn 9.6 seconds left in a tie game.
Horn moved the ball down the court and with patience, moved the ball around and finally got a running floater to fall to take the lead with 1.4 seconds left.
The Hawks did what they could to get a realistic shot, but came up short and as Coach Bowen stated, "that game was 10 seconds to long" as the JV fell 44-42.
The varsity game started out pretty even with both teams pressing and flying up and down the court.
However, the Hawks shooting was off, especially from the outside and Horn was racing to the other end on missed shots and extending their lead each procession.
The Hawks looked a step slower than Mesquite and overall it was just a tough night for the Hawks. They just couldn't find their rhythm and lost to Mesquite Horn.
The Hawks will return home in December for the home district opener against Waxahachie. Freshman and JV start at 5:30 p.m. and varsity around 7:30 p.m.
Come out and support your Hawks as they begin district play.

Sun Web Chief Tim Bray Moves to Google
Good-bye, Oracle: XML coauthor Timothy William Bray did well to control his anger toward the new Sun owners and accepted a job at Google -- raving about Android.
"I'd had an offer to stay with Oracle which I decided to decline; I'll maybe tell the story when I can think about it without getting that weird spiking-blood-pressure sensation in my eyeballs," the Canadian explained about his farewell from Oracle.
Bray had been at Sun since 2004 as an XML expert and worked on the initial XML 1.0 standard since 1994. He has held a leading position in the software segment of Web technology.
The overlap of Web technology with open source ultimately motivated him to pursue work with Google, where he will likely have something to do with Android. One of his favorite targets is Apple: "The iPhone vision of the mobile Internet's future omits controversy, sex, and freedom, but includes strict limits on who can know what and who can say what. It's a sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers.... I hate it." Bray is counting on Google and the Android to set it right. He feels that Apple apparently thinks it can benefit from the Web while controlling which programs to run on it "and what parts of the stack can be accessed." He continues, "I think they're wrong and see this job as a chance to help prove it."
The 54-year-old is especially interested in apps development on Android, Web standards like HTML 5 and the Android market. He addresses the community with, "Are you an Android developer? Or might you become one? Or have you given up on Android? If you're any of these, you're a person I need to learn from. Help teach me, I'm easy to find: twbray at google.com."
Not to say that Bray will work exclusively on Android, as the new Google "Developer Advocate" himself admits. He apparently does enjoy the opportunity nonetheless. Google will probably mean some getting used to. He made clear in his announcement blog that he didn't want to be silenced: "Google asked to see an advance draft of the piece you're now reading 'for coordinating messaging', but didn't suggest any changes."
Google is a pretty good place to beGoogle, eh. That's a pretty good place to be. Companies are like beer: right ingredients in the right amount at the right time at the right temperature make for a fantastic experience. Get them a little wrong and not so fantastic. Looking forward to Tim's contributions to Android. I've been an avid reader of his blog and I'm very happy for him.

Messiah is actively involved in supporting many missions locally, nationally, and internationally. We take to heart the Great Commission that we were given in Matthew 28:19-20, "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Messiah is helping to support these very important ministries:

Travel + Leisure
Ozzie Winner:
Best Cover, Consumer Above 250,000 Circulation
Travel + Leisure's June cover design had to come from the magazine's 2008 "It List," says editor-in-chief Nancy Novogrod. The magazine's third annual "It List," which features the editors' picks of the best new hotels and resorts, captures the romance and high design values that have become a hallmark of Travel + Leisure's properties.
Nora Sheehan, the magazine's creative director since April 2006, has been an integral part of guiding the magazine through cover designs, as well as its redesign. Novogrod believes that T+L has evolved to evoke both the decorative sophistication of interior design, as well as the internal logic of architecture, showcasing style, glamour, and luxury without sacrificing accessibility or service information. Sheehan has handled all aspects of the magazine's recent redesign, which, she says, became official with its Ozzie-winning June 2008 issue cover.
All of Travel + Leisure's covers are "intended to seduce and delight," says Novogrod. And as for the June 2008 issue, "We wanted a location that seemed particularly inviting," she says. "Our readers love Mexico, so this wasn't a hard decision."
A Shot in the Dark
Once the Mexican location was decided upon, Travel + Leisure sent photographer Thomas Loof to the cover shoot. Despite this being his first cover shoot for the magazine, his previous experience included shooting covers for Condé Nast Traveler and Architectural Digest, as well as working on T+L feature articles where he showcased his specialty in architectural photography.
Loof's instructions, via e-mail, were to shoot a cover for the magazine keeping the following in mind: the hotel had to come from the June 2008 "It List"; it needed to work well with cover lines; the image had to include water, be it a beach or a pool; and it had to be bright. However, unlike most normal cover shoots, Loof wasn't given a specific hotel to photograph.
Although there was "less certainty about the spot than there normally is," Novogrod says that the objective was more about capturing a mood than a specific location.
Travel + Leisure asked Loof to experiment with the guidelines provided on a variety of "It List" hotels and find the image that would give the cover the best design impact.
What Loof submitted was an artistic outdoor shot of Mexico's Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya hotel. Not only did Loof meet all of Novogrod's requirements, but managed to give the photograph, taken at dusk, a bright, light quality that the T+L staff felt effectively captured the essence of the Mexican resort for the magazine's readers.
Experiential Design Impact
In keeping with the magazine's mission of discovery and new experiences, Novogrod hopes that the June 2008 Mandarin Oriental cover will not only show readers what Mexico looks like, but convey to them what it feels like to be there through its serene design and angular architecture.
Travel + Leisure also captured several other FOLIO: Awards, including a Gold for its June 2008 Full Issue and for its January 2008 feature, "Into the Wild," as well as a Bronze for Best Consumer Redesign in June 2008.
