Welcome Home?
| Mandeline walks into her twin sister's dorm room, and dumps her bag on the top of her small twin bed. Running a hand through her long black hair, she adjusts her tiny black top as her eyes scan the room the twin girls will be sharing. Walking over to her nightstand, Mandeline places a finger against her powdery soft lips and examines her pictures. Grinning slightly, she picks up a picture of two small girls, with identical blue eyes and curly blond hair. Moving the finger from her lips, she places it on the picture, remembering when times were simpler. |The twins are finally allowed to live together. | Mandeline moves over, placing the picture back in its original position before grabbing another one. This one containing the same two girls with a few apperance changes. The one on the left had long blond hair pulled up into a ponytail, and fairly pale skin. She was wearing a simple pair of jeans and a pink Abercromie shirt. The girl on the right had the same long hair, only hers was black and cascading around her shoulders. Her icy blue orbs were hidden behind a pair of sunglasses, and she was flaunting her tight tan body in a string bikini top and a pair of short, cut off jean shorts. | My parents were divorced when I was 2, and the court decided that since there were two of us, one would go with my mother, and the other would go with my father. So, alas, I said goodbye to my sister and moved to Hawaii with my father. Every other summer she could come see me, and the next I would come see her... now 15 years later, we finally get to actually live together.

No, I am not shopping. Nor queuing up in line for alleged "bargains."
In Sacramento, where I work, the local early morning news shows are indicating a rather dismal response to Black Friday. No real crowds. This may not bode well.
Today is tryptophan-recovery day, also. For me, lamb-recovery.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'year of faith' tag.
Images speak louder than words, and this is no exception…
Pope Francis, the 266th bishop of Rome, cradles the relics of the first Bishop of Rome, Saint Peter. With this display of continuity from the time of Christ to today, the Year of Faith was closed yesterday. Looking back, we must also look forward, as we, being Christians, are ever called to do.
As Pope Francis said in his homily:
"Jesus' promise to the good thief gives us great hope: it tells us that God's grace is always greater than the prayer which sought it. The Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!"
As announced today, Pope Francis will be releasing his first encyclical on Friday. Titled Lumen fidei, "The light of faith", it has been co-authored by Pope emeritus Benedict XVI. Pope Francis has reworked a draft created by the emeritus pontiff, and as such the encyclical will be the third in a series on the theological virtues of hope, charity and faith. Benedict XVI published Deus caritas est – on Christian love – in 2005, and Spe Salvi – On Christian hope – in 2007.
Lumen fidei is published very early in this pontificate – less than four months into it – , a fact no doubt due to the fact that the previous Pope already drafted an initial version. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI took eight months to release his first encyclical. Pope John Paul II, in 1979, released his first five months after his election. Pope Paul VI took more than a year, Pope John XXIII eight months, Pope Pius XII seven months, Pope Pius XI ten months, and Pope Benedict XV released his first a mere two months after his election in 1914.
The encyclical will be presented on Friday morning at the Vatican by Cardinal Marc Ouellet and Archbishop Salvatore Fisichella and Gerhard Müller, the heads of the Vatican offices for bishops, new evangelisation and the doctrine of the faith. That, in itself, may give us some hints at how we should read Lumen fidei: as an integral element of the Year of Faith and the new evangelisation, and with perhaps a special focus on the role of the bishops in that endeavour.
Don't forget, in most cathedrals and many other churches the world over, faithful will join Pope Francis in an hour of Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. United in faith, the Church that Christ established will simply be with the Lord, in prayer, adoration and silence. If you haven't already, see what your cathedral or local church is doing today between 5 and 6 in the afternoon.
In his Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei, by which he announced the Year of Faith, Pope emeritus Benedict XVI reminded us:
"During this time we will need to keep our gaze fixed upon Jesus Christ, the "pioneer and perfecter of our faith" (Heb 12:2): in him, all the anguish and all the longing of the human heart finds fulfilment. The joy of love, the answer to the drama of suffering and pain, the power of forgiveness in the face of an offence received and the victory of life over the emptiness of death: all this finds fulfilment in the mystery of his Incarnation, in his becoming man, in his sharing our human weakness so as to transform it by the power of his resurrection. In him who died and rose again for our salvation, the examples of faith that have marked these two thousand years of our salvation history are brought into the fullness of light."
This afternoon's Holy Hour will be the perfect opportunity to keep our gaze upon, or return it to, Jesus Christ, and also to reflect on what we have done, as individuals, communities, parishes, dioceses or other groups of faithful, in this Year of Faith. Porta Fidei is a great outline on how it was intended by our retired Holy Father. Did we succeed in making that intention reality, or is there still much work to do?
"The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself. Indeed, "only in adoration can a profound and genuine reception mature. And it is precisely this personal encounter with the Lord that then strengthens the social mission contained in the Eucharist, which seeks to break down not only the walls that separate the Lord and ourselves, but also and especially the walls that separate us from one another." [1]
"The bread I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world" (Jn 6:51). In these words the Lord reveals the true meaning of the gift of his life for all people. These words also reveal his deep compassion for every man and woman.
Our communities, when they celebrate the Eucharist, must become ever more conscious that the sacrifice of Christ is for all, and that the Eucharist thus compels all who believe in him to become "bread that is broken" for others, and to work for the building of a more just and fraternal world."
Pope Benedict XVI, Sacramentum caritatis, N. 66 and 88.
These words about the value of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament by Pope emeritus Benedict XVI open a prayer card issued by the Dutch bishops on the occasion of the Feast of Corpus Christi, this June 2nd. This year the day will be marked with a worldwide Holy Hour of Adoration, as called for by Benedict XVI as he opened the Year of Faith. The power of prayer before the physical Lord should never be underestimated, but a simultaneous effort should be truly significant.
The prayer card continuous with a Gospel passage that reflects this same unified nature of the Church:
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more. You are clean already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, unless it remains part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a branch — and withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire and are burnt.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for whatever you please and you will get it. It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit and be my disciples. I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.
Gospel of John 15:1-11
Finally, a short prayer by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, perhaps chosen not entirely by coincidence, as he is the founder of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuit Order of which Pope Francis was a member:
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace.
That is enough for me.
Suscipe, St. Ignatus of Loyola

On Tuesday, Bishop Dominique Rey gave an update about the Sacra Liturgia conference taking place next month in Rome. There are some interesting points he made which make this conference of special importance to anyone with some interest in the liturgy and its celebration. And, to be honest, as Catholics we all do, whether we're aware of that or not. But let's let the good bishop explain (with some emphases by me):
"Thank you for your presence this evening.
Sacra Liturgia 2013 is an event that follows on from the Adoratio 2011 Conference that I organised at the Salesianum in Rome two years ago. Inspired by the Year of Faith called to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council and following on from the Synod on the New Evangelisation, I wanted to bring together key cardinals, bishops and other noted experts in the liturgy from around the world to underline the fact that formation in the sacred liturgy and its correct celebration is of the first importance in the life and mission of the Church.
I would like to emphasise this point: grace has a primacy in all our activities. The liturgy is the continuing action of Jesus Christ in His Church. It is where we encounter Christ and receive the power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen us for Christian life and mission. The New Evangelisation must be founded on the worthy celebration of the liturgy, and for that we need good liturgical formation.
This event was also inspired by the liturgical teaching of Benedict XVI. We are holding the conference in Rome, at the Pontifical University Santa Croce, in order to be close to Peter, and our delegates hope to join with our new Holy Father, Pope Francis, at the Mass of Saints Peter and Paul in St Peter's Basilica.
The conference itself will be a time of shared reflection, study and celebration on different aspects of the liturgy and the mission of the Church. The programme is published on the conference website, but I would highlight the Keynote address of His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith: "The Sacred Liturgy, culmen et fons vitæ et missionis ecclesiæ" which will in many ways set the tone for the different and specific presentations that will follow.
The liturgical celebrations of Vespers and Holy Mass in the Basilica of St Apollinare will be in both forms of the Roman rite: there does not need to be any opposition between the two. The correct celebration of both have their rightful place in the Church of the New Evangelisation.
At this time we expect delegates from approximately 25 different countries. They include bishops, priests, deacons, seminarians and religious as well as lay men and women. Facilities will be available for delegates to listen to translations in French, English, Italian, Spanish and German. There is more information on the conference website www.sacraliturgia.com in each of those languages…"
Liturgy. Important stuff.
Cardinal Ranjith will give his address on the first day, in the evening of 25 June, with only the celebration of Vespers and the introduction, both by Bishop Rey, preceding it. The Latin bit of the title of this address means "source and summit of the life and mission of the Church": an apt description of the liturgy from which many other topics flow.
It looks like Bishop Rey has a very clear purpose with this conference. I think it's therefore apt to start a short series of profiles on some of the speakers with him. Hopefully I'll be able to get it out sometime tomorrow morning.
Lastly, for those wondering why I choose to pay such specific attention to this conference: firstly, I myself am interested in the liturgy, so this conference is quite up my alley, and secondly, I was asked to do so. I am quite happy to respond to such request, and grateful that my little blog has apparently been noticed enough to warrant such a request.
Archbishop Salvatore Fisichella looks back on the first 100 days of the Year of Faith:
"The first reactions revealed great enthusiasm and deep interest, tangible in the flurry of expressions of it on a small scale: in many pastoral letters – written by bishops to their dioceses – that in the programme are all dedicated to faith; in the parish projects for reflection on the various articles of the Creed; and in the widespread dissemination of the official logo of the Year of Faith. The logo shows a boat, a symbol of the Church, in a square bordered field with a boat that is sailing. The main mast of the boat is a cross on which are hoisted sails composing the trigram of Christ (IHS). The words "Year of Faith" that accompany it, alongside the calendar of "great events", are translated into the major languages, but also into other languages, even Chinese. The Year of Faith has reached China where it is present in the communities and in the Churches which are likewise living this experience of the universal Church. This was mentioned to the Holy Father during the Roman Curia's Audience for the exchange of Christmas greetings. And the Pope not only showed his great pleasure but he also told me that Protestant communities had shown interest too. In short, the whole world is in a state of great ferment, and I would say that we have got off on the right foot."
An optimistic sound, although the enthusiasm and attention in the Catholic media has understandably died down after the spectacle of the Year's opening. But that's no reason to ignore the fact that we still have the major part of the Year of Faith ahead of us. What are you doing with it? That's the question we must ask ourselves.
The Year of Faith is a twofold invitation: to increase and deepen our own faith, and to communicate it to others.

Île de la Cité, Paris, France
The Île de la Cité may blend into the Paris rooftops when viewed from the top of the Eiffel Tower, but the island is one of the most significant places in France. Politically, legally and religiously it lies at the centre of the country and, by extension, the centre of the French Empire that once controlled a number of the islands all over the world.
Most visitors to Paris never think of the Île de la Cité as an island. There are certainly few clues to this as you stroll over the stylishly expansive Pont Neuf, one of four bridges that span the Seine on either side of it - and none if you arrive at the Cité metro station. Most historians believe the island was first settled in 52 BC by a small Celtic tribe, the Parisii, and it is from this original inhabitation that the city of Paris developed. Today theÎle de la Cité is the site of one of the most famous cathedrals in the world: Notre Dame. The menacing Conciergerie, the infamous prison of the French Revolution is also here, as is the Palais de Justice and, opposite it, the shops selting barristers gowns.
Notre Dame has to be the best known of these buildings, an certainly draws the most tourists. Day and night they pose in front of the cathedrals instantly recognizable façade with its twin bell towers and gargoyles - made all the more famous by Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is worth joining the long queue to climb to the top of one of the towers and see the bell Quasimodo rings in the novel. Panoramic views of Paris stretch away on all sides. The interior seems larger than it really is, and can absorb any led by number of visitors and awe them into silence. The space is ringed by small chapels and ornate wooden choir stalls fill much of the east end.
Behind Notre Dame cathedral is the largely subterranean Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation. This simple yet harrowing structure commemorates the 200000 people who were deported from Paris and murdered in the German death camps during the Second World War. For all the grandeur and officialdom centred on the Île de la Cite, the island has a remarkably human face. The Vert Galant at the west end is a small and pretty garden, crowned by a quay, that is popular with lovers and picnickers alike. And the Place Dauphine is one of the simplest yet most quintessentially French squares in the city.
Triangular because of the way the island tapers, it is incongruously faced on one side by the white edifice of the Palais de Justice. Boule players duel amid stuntedly shady trees and a couple of small restaurants serve alfresco food in summer. There is also a large flower market, which is replaced by a bird market on Sunday mornings, when the air is filled with the trilling of songbirds. Thousands of these are displayed in small wooden cages in a scene that is more reminiscent of Asia than the centre of a European city.
Connected to the Île de la Cité is the smaller and far more human-scale Île Saint-Louis. It boasts exclusive residential properties and its main street, with its bars and restaurants, still has specialist shops selling cheeses, antiques or ice cream, as well as ones that deal in the more usual tourist souvenirs. Both islands come alive at night when every quay is filled with tourists and locals just hanging out; but they are at their most atmospheric in the misty early morning, before traffic noise and pedestrians take over a scene as timeless as the softly running Seine itself.

Unfortunately the author uses it.
Critics of the Bible must be careful not to impose their present day moral system upon that of an ancient culture found in Scripture and then judge Scripture as though it is inferior to their own subjective morality. The above verses were written 3,000 years ago in a very different culture and location. Sexual purity was very highly valued, unlike today, and when a man would marry a woman, her virginity was critical. In ancient times a dowry was paid to the father of the bride and the rightful expectation was that the bride would be a virgin.
Of course we cannot impose our morality on a bunch of bronze age people. We have come such a long way from their barbarism and we are trying to develop a truly egalitarian society on the principles of equality of all, the brotherhood of mankind, compassion and reason. Theirs was a brutish society dictated by the laws of superstition and of inequality.
So yes, it's correct. We cannot judge a bunch of people with no idea of our modern ethics and our better morality which developed over time. We can be shocked at their murder of women but being shocked won't bring those women back. We can laugh at the ignorance of these people who would stone a woman to death just because she had sex and even at the purchase of women as chattel. These are things in the past. The author is right in all of this.
No, what we should be asking ourselves is "If they were so backwards, why on earth do we need to listen to anything they have to say in the first place?".
In the culture of the time it was the father who was charged with the covering, care, and well-being of his daughter. Her sexual purity was representative of the father's ability to raise her according to the laws God. Therefore, in that culture, a man's reputation, as well as the family's reputation in the community, could be adversely affected by the fornication of his daughter. If his daughter had been promised to a man to be married, and a dowry had been paid, there was every expectation from the bridegroom that she would be a virgin. If the contrary was discovered after the marriage, then the implication is that there had been a deception in which the father could be implicated, or it would mean that he was unaware of her sin and this would bring great shame to the family and the community, not to mention it being a display of outright rebellion against God's law. In this case, to insure the integrity of the family, and to remove the evil of adulterous/fornication from the community, stoning was advocated.
Oh, I completely agree with him. To those people who lived around 1000 BC this would have made perfect sense and would be logical and true. What bugs me is why we have to listen to anything they have to say about morality when it has absolutely no correlation to what morality we have.
Finally, she was not stoned for not being a virgin, but for carrying out a deception in trying to appear as one.
Could this be because the punishment for not being a virgin is to be stoned? I really cannot believe that I have to say this but "Making it worse? How could it be worse?".
"But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."
General Charles Napier
And yes, I cannot believe that I have had to quote Monty Python and Napier in one article but it really is that ridiculous a piece of apologetics.

The Gay Agenda
By Joseph Hassan
Monday, November 24: Madonna's marriage to filmmaker Guy Ritchie is now officially over (on Friday the pair went through expedited British divorce proceedings that lasted just a few minutes). But not to worry: The Sticky & Sweet Tour must go on, and the highest-earning female singer in the world makes her latest stop at Atlanta's Philips Arena tonight. Satisfy your sweet tooth through Ticketmaster, where limited seats are still available for the 8:00 PM EST performance.
Tuesday, November 25: If you're looking to satisfy more than just a sugar craving, Bravo is your place for guilty pleasure. Tonight the Real Housewives of Atlanta kick off their 'reunion' special (at 9:00 PM EST). You know, the episode where you can't tell if you're watching Housewives or Jerry Springer because tempers -- and weaves -- are bound to fly across the deliciously awkward set. Then it's time for the season premiere of the Real Housewives of Orange County (at 10:00 PM EST). These ladies are the real peaches of the franchise. Looking back, maybe Jo does have a shot at a singing career. After all, if Atlanta's chain-smoking, Big-Poppa-lovin' Kim, who has deluded herself into believing that she has a voice worthy of a hit single, can get a meeting with Dallas Austin'well, then anything is possible.

As little as possible. We are going to try and get all of our stuff (2 people's worth) into 1 backpack. One pair of shoes each. Only indispensable thing is our camera and journals.
Just to become more 'worldly'. Nothing esoteric like 'discovering myself' or 'appreciating other cultures'.
Can't wait to go.
It is easy to put off individual trips. There will always be reasons not to go away. A year off from all responsibilities is very liberating.
That it will screw up your career.
It's a holiday where you have something to do, in a place you've never been.
Take as little as physically possible. Save as much as possible – every $50 you spend on a new shirt (or whatever) is an extra day or two of travelling.

Video Transcript:Sellier & Bellot has been making ammunition in the Czech Republic since 1825. Today it's used by civilian, law enforcement, and armed forces all around the world. A few years ago, S&B was bought by the Brazilian parent company CBC, who also owns Magtech, another maker of quality ammo.
The 230 grain .45 ACP ammo that we tested utilizes a reloadable brass case with a non-corrosive primer and a traditional lead bullet with a copper full metal jacket. The individual cartridges come tightly packaged in a 50 round box with two plastic carriers of 25 rounds each. With a muzzle velocity of around 850 feet per second, it has moderate recoil for the .45, not quite what you'd get from high pressure defensive loads, but not the softest recoiling either, putting it at a comfortable meeting for use as training ammo.
Accuracy from the bench at 15 yards was surprisingly exceptional, with 9 of our 10 shots grouped in just over an inch. Other calibers of S&B that we've tested have had respectable accuracy, but this batch of .45s seemed to top all of them. Function and reliability was good, as well. The S&B ammo fed through all six of our test guns with no problems. If you prefer brass case ammo for practice and want top notch reliability and accuracy, then Sellier & Bellot in .45 ACP looks like a good choice.

I cannot be happier. Great price and ammo feeds through the gun like it was born there. Not had any jams, misfires or feed issues so far. To be truthful, I've only sent about 300 rounds of these babies through it but what has gone through was perfect. (Posted on 10/25/13)

Liked it so much bought another 1,000 rounds.
You do need to be careful with some other calibers of Sellier & Bellot as they are or can be magnetic - which will limit their shootability at an indoor range. (.38 specials are one such that I have found). .45 are not magnetic and are an excellent buy. (Posted on 8/26/11)

Introduction to: OWL Profiles
OWL, the Web Ontology Language has been standardized by W3C as a powerful language to represent knowledge (i.e. ontologies) on the Web. OWL has two functionalities. The first functionality is to express knowledge in an unambiguous way. This is accomplished by representing knowledge as set of concepts within a particular domain and the relationship between these concepts. If we only take into account this functionality, then the goal is very similar to that of UML or Entity-Relationship diagrams. The second functionality is to be able to draw conclusions from the knowledge that has been expressed. In other words, be able to infer implicit knowledge from the explicit knowledge. We call this reasoning and this is what distinguishes OWL from UML or other modeling languages.
OWL evolved from several proposals and became a standard in 2004. This was subsequently extended in 2008 by a second standard version, OWL 2. With OWL, you have the possibility of expressing all kinds of knowledge. The basic building blocks of an ontology are concepts (a.k.a classes) and the relationships between the classes (a.k.a properties). For example, if we were to create an ontology about a university, the classes would include Student, Professor, Courses while the properties would be isEnrolled, because a Student is enrolled in a Course, and isTaughtBy, because a Professor teaches a Course.

Holy Land Ministries' is registered as an Israeli non-profit organization in 1998, to assist homeless and needy Israelis.
Funding for all projects is by donation.
Most of the people served are Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union.
There are various reasons why these people become homeless:
Assistance is given regardless of the person's religion, creed, nationality or race.
All of the abovementioned assistance is for free.
No person is obliged to change religion to receive services.
Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy.

Bill Elliott and the crew of the Wood Brothers No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion can put a check mark beside Friday on their racing calendar. Their mission is accomplished. They're in the starting field for Sunday's Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, and they did it without having to rely on Elliott's past-champion provisional.
The team's qualifying run wasn't exactly what they wanted, but it did the job. Elliott's best lap of 187.839 miles per hour was 36th on the speed chart, but it put him safely ahead of the other drivers in the race who had to qualify on speed. With the Woods running a limited schedule, they're forced to qualify on speed every time they race, making Friday afternoons a nerve-wracking time in the No. 21 garage stall. But team co-owner Eddie Wood was upbeat about the effort, saying conditions unrelated to the car cost the team some time on its run against the clock. And he was pleased with the overall performance of the brand-new car the team brought to Texas. "We went out late in the day. The track had cooled off quite a bit, making it a lot tighter. That hurt us a lot," he said. "The last several cars that went out also seemed to be too tight."
Because the Woods aren't among the top 35 in car owner points, their car is among the go-or-go-home group that qualifies at the end of the qualifying session. Elliott and his David Hyder-led crew spent most of Friday's practice session working on a qualifying set-up, as they didn't want to simply rely on Elliott's provisional from his 1988 championship. But now the team can turn to working on a race set-up, and in recent runs on tracks similar to Texas Motor Speedway, they've been able to find combinations that put them in position to drive their way toward the front of the pack. "David Hyder and the guys always manage to find some things on Saturday that make us a lot better in the race," Wood said. "I see no reason this weekend will be any different."
The Samsung Mobile 500 begins on Sunday April 18th at 3:00 p.m. ET on FOX.

GameStop To Sponsor Matt Kenseth And No. 18 Toyota In NASCAR Nationwide Series
GameStop (NYSE: GME), the world's largest multichannel retailer of video games, announced today Matt Kenseth, former Sprint Cup Series Champion and two-time Daytona 500 Champion, will be behind the wheel of the No. 18 GameStop Toyota this season. GameStop is partnering with Joe Gibbs Racing for a sixth season and will be a primary sponsor in 10 Nationwide Series races.
Kenseth last raced in the Nationwide Series in 2011 when he won his only start of that year in the May race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. During his career, Kenseth has started 248 races in the Nationwide Series and recorded 26 wins with 118 top-five and 168 top-10 finishes. He has also claimed 16 pole awards in the series.
"We are so excited to have a driver with Matt's track record driving for us this season," said Bob Puzon, vice president of merchandising for GameStop. "Not only is Matt a proven wheelman, he will be a great brand ambassador for us. Matt is a big gamer, and from what I hear, he loves to challenge his son Ross in some friendly game play on a regular basis."
Since beginning its sponsorship with JGR in 2008, GameStop's approach to its NASCAR program has been a unique one in the Nationwide Series. No other sponsor completely changes the car design for each of its races. The GameStop Toyota has featured more than 60 different paint schemes promoting a variety of popular video games, gaming systems and gaming accessories. Titles such as NASCAR The Game, Call of Duty, Max Payne and LEGO Batman 2, as well as Turtle Beach headphones and the PS Vita have been featured with one-of-a-kind paint schemes."I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember," Kenseth said. "So, I'm pretty excited to be driving the GameStop Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Nationwide Series. The JGR teams were the class of the field last season, and GameStop has always created some pretty cool paint schemes, so I'm looking forward to what's in store for this year. I can't wait to get back on track in the series and hopefully take our No. 18 Toyota to Victory Lane."

The HolyLandDream And Pat Boone Offer To Purchase A Symbolic Piece Of The Holy Land
JERUSALEM, November 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The HolyLandDream Project, an Israeli-based company that is making it possible for the first time in history for believers to purchase a legal deed of ownership over a piece of the Holy Land announces the foundation of a charitable fund with none other than Mr. Pat Boone.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121123/578062 )
For the last few years, the HolyLandDream is making available for purchase one-square-foot parcels overlooking the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee along the paths that Jesus walked. The concept was born out of a deep love for the Holy Land, a land where the most famous event in world history took place. This land has been subdivided by the bylaws of the State of Israel and every owner receives a property deed with their name, GPS coordinates of the exact location and an elegant map of the Holy Land.The HolyLandDream has joined forces with Pat Boone, who dearly loves Israel. Pat wrote the words "this land is mine, God gave this land to me" for the song "Exodus" years ago, and now, those words can become a reality for anyone to own. As Pat was saying: "I wrote those words… I've sung it countless times, most emotionally in Israel, where I've walked over just about all the places described in the Bible. It has forever shaped my life… and I've often wished I could actually own a little piece of God's Holy Land, as a personal bond with the land and the people God loves so much. And now I do!" And you can, too! Together with Mr. Pat Boone they have created a charitable fund that donates a generous portion of the proceeds. The fund's beneficiaries are American Friends of Magen David Adom and The Jewish National Fund, with the intent of supporting Israeli causes. There has never been a better time than now to make this dream a reality. For the holiday season, the HolyLandDream offers free express shipping to allow everyone to own or give a piece of the Holy Land to their dearest. The land is available for a mere $99 a parcel.

Let's Get Technical: Get Under the Skin of the RC
By now, you've probably seen Lexus' RC from every angle possible. If you haven't
you can get a good look at it here. Style is important and everything... But what about the substance?Considering Lexus' recent focus on building cars that can really handle, it shouldn't come as a suprise that they've done the suspension in this car right. The rear end is a multi-link setup, which means, they've likely tuned it to keep the RC's tire geometry at optimal angles when shifting weight and cornering hard. For a car with a lot of power going through the rear-end, this is important. It's not ideal for drag racing, but for he RC specifically, a rear-multilink setup means it'll corner well and ride comfortably.
They've opted for a double wishbone setup up front, likely for weight and cost and packaging reasons. The front wheels aren't being driven, so the less stuff you have up there the better. This also probably means it'll get a good amount of steering angle out of the box. It'll likely have good turning circle. Also drifting.
Browse through the pics and you'll get a good idea of what the RC's drive train looks like. From where I'm sitting, this car is going to handle quite well. Let me know what you think in the comments!

WAKE FOREST, N.C., August 11, 2013 — God intended sexual intercourse to be pleasurable and the ultimate expression of intimacy in marriage. Those who see it as only a vehicle for procreation have not acquainted themselves with the steamy verses found in the Song of Solomon. Read it and see for yourself.
Sexual manipulation in a marriage works both ways. On the husband's side, it can be as subtle as saying that he needs his wife to do this or that to help him keep the fire and desire burning. Or it may be as un-subtle as telling his wife that he has burning desires that she needs to fill because he doesn't want to have to go elsewhere to fill them. Either approach is self-centered and manipulative.
The wife may tell her husband that he needs to do certain things in order to be rewarded with sexual intimacy. Or, she may become flirtatious or dress provocatively in public in order to send a clear signal to the husband: "I really don't need you, because many other men out here would love to have me." Here again, when sex or sexuality is flaunted or used as leverage against the spouse, it is not only a bad example, but God does not take it lightly. God never intended either husband or wife to use the gift of sex as a bargaining chip, ball and chain, or baseball bat.
If you do not subscribe to Judeo-Christian scripture, the following may not resonate with you, but consider what the Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth:
"The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does." (1 Corinthians 7:4, NKJV)
But Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, elaborated further that neither the husband nor the wife has the right to withhold sexual intimacy from the other. He even says that when the couple wants to have a special, fervent consecration through fasting and prayer, they need to do so by mutual consent. That is, they should not have prolonged periods of spiritual consecration that limits their ability to come together in sexual intimacy without mutual agreement beforehand:
"Do not deprive one another (sexually) except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your (incontinency) lack of self-control." (1 Corinthians 7:5, NKJV)
Turning your feelings of affection elsewhere is unacceptable in the sight of God as well. If you are married, and are drooling and lusting after another, you are wrong. Sexual gratification and satisfaction are to be found within the bounds of the marital covenant:
"Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. As a loving deer and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and always be enraptured with her love. For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?" (Proverbs 5:18-20, NKJV)
Much of what scripture says about this is directed towards the man. That's because God places the primary responsibility of leadership on him. Yes, we are equal in the sight of God, but our Heavenly Father has clearly outlined principles that we must follow if we want to reap His blessings:
"So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." (Ephesians 5:28, 33, NKJV)
To bring it closer to home for some of us, it also emphatically refers to guarding against the ill effects of pornography as well:
It is ridiculous to cite statistics about divorce and remarriage while neglecting the marriage covenant with our spouse. Real lovemaking starts hours before you reach the bedroom. The passion and desire is heated as we speak kindly, touch and caress affectionately, take time to listen, help her around the house without being asked — and ask how to do certain things if we don't know how. As a minister once said: "In sexuality, men are microwaves; women are crock pots!"
If we, as men, want to know if we're on the right track, ask her, "If I treated you like I do today while we were courting, would you have married me?" If she's honest enough to say "no," ask her, "What will it take for me to turn things around?"
My mother told me years ago, "Son, the best way to show your children that you love them is to affirm and demonstrate love toward their mother." That goes for women towards the father of her children as well.
A key to keeping the flame burning brightly and properly in our marriage is to let our affection be directed solely toward our spouse. Consider the lyrics in this song:
The bottom line is for us to exercise sexual intimacy in marriage as God intended: in maturation and fidelity, not manipulation and infidelity.

When you lose the Rapper vote, you truly have nothing
Shyne Threatens Obama With "Kanye West Meltdown" Over Chicago Murders
Former Diddy protégé Shyne went on a Twitter tear against the president. The Belize-born rapper has been calling out President Obama for not doing more to curb the murder rate in the president's hometown of Chicago.
"If @barackobama doesn't do something about the genocide in Chicago fast," he tweeted Monday (January 14), "I'm gonna have an @kanyewest melt down & say Barack Don't care about?"
"#Yes u can! @barackobama you can do something to curb the violence in the inner cities across America, especially your hood in Chicago."
His Twitter tirade began on Sunday when he asked President Obama to call in his celebrity friends for reinforcements.
"Dear @BarackObama, call Jay-Z to fly his private plane Down to Chicago & you fly yours the same way you called in the stars to win Ohio#help"
"@barackobama I forgot you weren't an impoverished inner city kid! You grew up in Kansas & Hawaii! You only play the ghetto card come election time!"
Snip: Bwaaahahahaha!

I read this post and my first thought is, this is EXACTLY what is wrong with low-information voters. They actually BELIEVE that the President of the United States has some sort of power to do something about __________ (fill in the blank). This is exactly why Obama thinks he can act unilaterally to do whatever the hell he wants to do — because he has 51% of the American Public (including Belizian rappers) believing he has the power and authority to act whenever, wherever and however he wants.+8
"Shyne? He's a jackass, too."+1
someone needs to tell the rapper they already have laws banning "crime" "guns", "constitutionalism" and "God" in chicago, what else does he think obama can do to curb violence?+3
In October 2008 on the Saturday Night Live news portion one of the cast came on the news to discuss the economic crisis. Fix it! He said. Just Fix It! He did that a couple of times leading up to the election. On the episode right after the election he came on again, and said 'It's fixed!' Just because the right guy won the election, everything was going to be rosy. That is so often the view, and it's why Obama got elected the first time and the second time – because he said he'd take care of the problems and people bought that load. I expect nothing more than that from this rapper, as soon as Obama announces his solutions – although there have been times when I've been surprised. Here's a link to one of the SNL clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3uxqwTxk0
Pardon me, boy
Is that the dude that stole your new shoes?
Get you a nine
And you can give him a "SHYNE."+4
how did the laws banning alcohol work out for the country in the 1920′s?
how are the laws banning drugs currently working out for everyone in the usa? (40% of prisoners in prison are there for banned drugs)
laws don't stop criminals from commiting crimes, they only make his actions a crime.
only knowing God and his moral code can stop the criminal and even then it only works if the criminal has a conscience to start with.+5
Talk about out of touch with reality…
Here's a comment from this Shyne guy's tweet:
"Dawdell Davidson @REALNIGGA0003
.@OriginalShyne All @BarackObama would have to do to start making a difference is just SPEAK for 5 minutes on tv TO the youth in Chicago."
See? All the prezdin has to do is speak for 5 (fie) minutes to the youts.+3
call Jay-Z to fly his private plane Down to Chicago & you fly yours
Inviting armed security to Chicago. Hmm. All of the sudden, more guns in Chicago equals less crime!
F'n amazing!+6
Maybe the 51% is starting to see the real Boo,and the 96% of black Americans are too. One can only hope.+5
You're mad about the genocide in Chicago? Then why don't you hold the black community who is doing the actual shooting accountable instead of blaming the president? Or is holding people accountable for their actions a whites-only proposition for you?
OMG, did I just defend Obama? I did, didn't I?+3
Guns do not kill people do ,dumb ass politicians think a little (common sense )millions to suffer for the action of a few ignorant people bull shit I will fight the u s goverment to the END !!!+1
Who gives a damn…Obama won re-election. It just doesn't matter anymore.+2
People stand up an support your 2ND amendment rights while you can or things will be bad like these third world countries being a slave to your dictator. That's why the government passed a bill already to micro chip your kids I bet you didn't even know.this is due to happen around 2018 I think google it if you do not believe me. This is the future of our country to be microchipped slaves, of course they( government )say if for beings able to locate your kids an shit like that if you believe that then your fuckin stupid WAKE UP PEOPLE THIS IS REAL+2
I looked this is true stuff thanks for the info this is SCARY!!!+2
Fee, Fi, Fo – the first three digits of Shyne's phone number?
Shyne? Isn't that racist? Oh wait – he's a prog – never mind!+1
"#Yes u can! @barackobama you can do something to curb the violence in the inner cities across America, especially your hood in Chicago."
"….Uhhhhhh,….that's not my hood."0
I don't know what this asshat is going on about.
No one is forced to live in the cesspool known as Chicago.
If you live there, you're one of the turds in the sewer – you know what the game is about.
There's nothing to "fix" – the people chose to live in a sewer.0

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...
