Day of Pardon, Pope John Paul II
Angelus, Sunday, March 12, 2000
In the Jubilee Year 2000, Blessed Pope John Paul II proclaimed a Day of Pardon in his Angelus message of March 12. He speaks of the need for purification and the need to implore God's pardon and forgiveness for sins of the Christian people, past and present. He urges "the children of the Church" to pray for this forgiveness. Concerning the sins of others, the Holy Father stressed that "Judgement belongs to God alone, who unlike us human beings 'sees the heart and the mind…'"
Blessed Pope John Paul ll is to be canonized by Pope Francis, along with Blessed Pope John XXII, on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27, 2014. hhh
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
1. In the faith context of the Great Jubilee, today we are celebrating the Day of Pardon. This morning in St. Peter's Basilica I presided at a moving and solemn penitential act. On this First Sunday of Lent, bishops and ecclesial communities in various parts of the world knelt before God, in the name of the entire Christian people, to implore His forgiveness.
The Holy Year is a time of purification: the Church is holy because Christ is her Head and her Spouse; the Spirit is her life-giving soul; the Virgin Mary and the saints are her most authentic expression. However, the children of the Church know the experience of sin, whose shadows are cast over her, obscuring her beauty. For this reason the Church does not cease to implore God's forgiveness for the sins of her members.
2. This is not a judgement on the subjective responsibility of our brothers and sisters who have gone before us: judgement belongs to God alone, who unlike us human beings "sees the heart and the mind" (cf. Jer 20:12). Today's act is a sincere recognition of the sins committed by the Church's children in the distant and recent past, and a humble plea for God's forgiveness. This will reawaken consciences, enabling Christians to enter the third millennium with greater openness to God and His plan of love.
As we ask forgiveness, let us also forgive. This is what we say every day when we recite the prayer Jesus taught us: "Our Father ... forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" (Mt 6:12). For all believers may the fruit of this Jubilee Day be forgiveness reciprocally given and received!
Reconciliation springs from forgiveness. This is our hope for every ecclesial community, for all believers in Christ and for the whole world.
3. Forgiven and ready to forgive, Christians enter the third millennium as more credible witnesses to hope. After centuries marked by violence and destruction, especially the last tragic one, the Church offers humanity, as it crosses the threshold of the third millennium, the Gospel of forgiveness and reconciliation, a prerequisite for building genuine peace.
To be witnesses to hope! This is also the theme of the Spiritual Exercises which I will begin this evening with my collaborators in the Roman Curia. For now I thank all who wish to accompany me in prayer, and I call upon Our Lady, Mother of Divine Mercy, to help everyone to observe the Lenten season fruitfully. +

Letters with requests for proposals and fixed fees pertaining to our Master Plan for a new church were sent to 25 architectural firms in April. Seven firms responded with information requested and our Building and Master Plan Committee undertook the task to review these proposals.
After our initial meeting, the Committee selected four firms to personally interview. Our Committee is undertaking the task of checking references on work that each firm has done in the Diocese of Phoenix as well as arranging personal interviews. After this process is completed, a firm will be selected to create a Master Plan that will include programming and needs assessment in order to provide for a new sanctuary and parking area on the existing seven acre plus Parish campus. Total time span for completion of this process will be approximately six to eight weeks. Once the firm is selected, then a procedure will be established for seeking parish input on a new church.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Please continue to fulfill your pledges and donations.

Dear Parishioners and Friends:
Statement on the Closing of Our Lady of Guadalupe Academy
The decision to close Our Lady of Guadalupe Academy was made in part due to low enrollment projections and financial considerations. Based on projected budget considerations and enrollment projections, the parish would have been faced with a deficit of nearly $90,000 for fiscal year 2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015), not including maintenance, operational and utility costs that the parish was carrying on behalf of the Academy. Total deficit figures - $140,000.
Before a final decision was made, the Superintendent of Schools from the Diocese was consulted along with the Diocesan Vicar General and the Director of Parish Services. In addition, thorough discussions with members of the Parish Council occurred last Monday evening and previously with the Parish Finance Council. Various models were presented and discussed in hopes of keeping the Academy going. In the end, it came down to low enrollment numbers and poor financial projections that figured in this decision. Additionally, the parish could not submit a negative budget to the Diocese and expect to get approval. Every means available was studied and considered.
We owe a great deal of thanks to the Academy Director, Lisa Wakefield, her most dedicated staff of teachers and aides and to the school parents who made every effort this past school year to keep the Academy afloat. THANK YOU ALL!
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Craig W. M. Friedley
Bishop Olmsted: key to New Evangelization is to trust the 'tough truths' on sexuality
We are pleased to report that Ron Dailey and Sharon Gilbert have been appointed by Fr. Craig Friedley to coordinate all English liturgical ministries of the parish. Included are the ministries of Lector, Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, Altar Servers, Music Ministers, Sacristans, Baptismal Preparation, Marriage Preparation, and Ushers. These changes are effective immediately.
Current parishioners involved in these ministries will be contacted within the next two weeks by either Ron or Sharon. If you are not contacted by May 15th, please contact either Ron or Sharon via email. (See email addresses below.)
Parishioners who are not currently participating but wish to explore and/or participate in any of the above ministries can contact either Ron or Sharon via email. Their email addresses are:
A reminder - anyone involved in a parish ministry or an activity must comply with the Diocese of Phoenix Safe Environment Policy and Procedures for the Protection of Minors. Contact the parish office (480-987-0315) during normal business hours, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday - Friday and leave a message for Harold Morazán and he will contact you with the requirements.
SCRIP is a nationally recognized fundraising program. Retailers sell gift certificates and cards to Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish at a discount. OLOG sells the gift cards at full face value to our parishioners and friends. You redeem the gift cards at face value and the discount is retained by OLOG.
Does your household budget include the following expenses? Groceries? Gasoline? Clothing? Household Needs? Restaurants? Of course it must include some or all. Our SCRIP program is offered by hundreds of local and national retailers - where most of you already shop. With every purchase, you earn revenue for OLOG (helping to offset parish expenses) and OLOGA. (reducing your student's tuition bill!)
We are pleased to announce that Ms. Lisa Freidhof has volunteered to run our SCRIP program. She runs a similar program at Seton High School (for 9 years). She has been assisting since mid-March and is most eager to build a super program here. Thank you Lisa, your assistant Patricia and OLOG volunteer sellers.
As of March 31, 2014, OLOG has generated $39,704 in gross revenue from the sale of SCRIP cards. Cost of SCRIP cards sold to date is $34,568. Thus, our gross margin to date is: $5,136. This is a great start. Whether shopping for clothing, home improvement items, entertainment, electronics, or going out to eat, SCRIP is always available to you. Please continue to use this convenient service and help your parish and academy. Cards are available during the week by stopping in the parish office during normal business hours (M - F; 9:00 am -5:00 pm) and on the weekends on the parish grounds before and after Masses.
Fry's Community Rewards Program - THANK YOU!
Dear Parishioners and Friends:
Following is a report of the Fry's VIP Card Program (rebates realized by OLOG members and friends using the reloadable cards) for quarters one and two. In quarter one, 208 families shopped at a Kroger/Fry's store and OLOG was rewarded with a total of $2,656. During quarter two (12/01/13 - 2/28/14), 226 families participated and the parish has received a check in the amount of $2,215.00. Total dollars realized by the parish over these two quarters have amounted to $4,871.00 or $812.00 per month.
The Fry's VIP Card Program is still in effect with a revised program. The last program had approximately 400 OLOG families participating. You can still participate in this new program - just go to the parish website to sign up or call the parish office (480-987-0315). Remember, the more parishioners and friends that shop at Kroger/Fry's stores - the more money OLOG will earn. We are most thankful to all who have shopped and participated in previous programs and strongly encouraged continued and additional participation. Again, thank you all!
UPDATE ON LAND ACQUISITION AND PARISH EXPANSION February 8-9,2014
Dear Parishioners and Friends:
As you are aware, we originally sought your financial support and prayers to acquire land necessary to construct a church and school facility large enough to accommodate our growing parish's needs.
Since we began this process back in September,we have explored several options for purchasing nearby properties for this purpose. Despite our best efforts,we have not been able to acquire property at a reasonable price that would enable to both acquire the land and leave us with sufficient funds to develop the church and school facility that our parish deserves.
We have been working with the Diocese of Phoenix to explore our options,and we have determined that our best alternative is to engineer a new facility on our own parish property that expands our capacity and meets our needs for the future. This would not only put our existing parish property to its highest and best use,but would also meet our obligation to be good and responsible stewards by using parish resources directly for the planning and construction of this project,rather than on the high costs of land acquisition.
In the upcoming months,as we develop the master plan, we will be providing you with more details about how this exciting project will look.
I look forward to your continued support of our Lady of Guadalupe Parish as we move forward together. Please continue to fulfill your pledges and keep OLOG in your prayers.
With thanks and togetherness in Christ, I am sincerely yours,
Fr. Craig W.M. Friedley

Nearly 900 water packaging units remain shut; shortage anticipated
Several customers in the city stocked up on packaged drinking water on Thursday anticipating a shortage due to the ongoing indefinite strike by manufacturers.
Protesting the National Green Tribunal's directive on Wednesday to close over 252 units across the State, members of the Tamil Nadu Packaged Drinking Water Manufacturers Association started a strike.
Following this, several retailers received more orders for bubbletops on Thursday. V. Murugan, a retailer in Perambur, said he exhausted his stock as many residents had purchased two or three bubbletops anticipating a shortage during the next few days.
Nearly 900 units across the State remain closed since Wednesday evening. Of this, about 320 units are located in and around Chennai.
Tamil Nadu Packaged Drinking Water Manufacturers Association's president V. Murali said the units were directed to be closed as they were located in regions where groundwater resources was said to be over-exploited. Of this, 12 were located around the city.
The association's general secretary A. Shakespeare said the units already had licences from the Bureau of Indian Standards and Food Safety Standards Authority of India. "We are not a polluting industry. The State government must provide us exemption from the licensing system of Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board." The association members had also represented their issues to officials in the Chief Minister's cell on Thursday, he added.
While 3.5 crore litres of water is supplied across the State every day, consumers from the city and its suburbs consume nearly 90 lakh litres of packaged water daily. Nearly 90 per cent of the supply is in the form of bubbletops.

List of hot coaching candidates is short
Owners planning to make a change must be creative or willing to roll the dice
The firing of Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio on Tuesday started what looks to be another season of wild coaching hirings and firings.
The big question facing teams this year is where to find the replacements. Recent hires have drained the talent pool of options. As one general manager put it, the list of young wunderkinds has run dry.
Do you have a query for John Clayton?
Click here to send a note to his mailbag.
Part of the problem is head coaches who call their own plays. Although those teams have offensive coordinators, those coordinators have very little, if any, play-calling experience. Play calling may not be vital in determining a potential head coach, but it sure helps in showing how he makes decisions under pressure.
Currently, 10 head coaches call their offensive plays. Eight offensive coordinators with NFL head-coaching experience call plays: Mike Martz (Chicago), Scott Linehan (Detroit), Mike Mularkey (Atlanta), Cam Cameron (Baltimore), Kevin Gilbride (New York Giants), Chris Palmer (Tennessee), Marty Mornhinweg (Philadelphia) and Josh McDaniels (St. Louis). Five head coaches call defensive plays, and there are nine former head coaches who are defensive coordinators: Wade Phillips (Houston), Dick LeBeau (Pittsburgh), Dick Jauron (Cleveland), Gunther Cunningham (Detroit), Mike Nolan (Miami), Jim Haslett (Washington), Rod Marinelli (Chicago), Romeo Crennel (Kansas City) and Gregg Williams (New Orleans).
There could be between five and seven head-coaching changes this year. Identifying the hot assistant is hard to do. Most of the changes could happen in the AFC, where Norv Turner (Chargers), Tony Sparano (Dolphins), Jim Caldwell (Colts) and Todd Haley (Chiefs) are sitting on hot seats. Things are more cloudy in the NFC, where you can't say for sure whether there will be changes in St. Louis, Philadelphia and New York.
As for hot coaches, is it too soon to say that Dennis Allen (defensive coordinator, Denver Broncos), Chuck Pagano (defensive coordinator, Baltimore Ravens) and Jay Gruden (offensive coordinator, Cincinnati Bengals) are ready for head-coaching jobs? Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will be a strong candidate.
Owners who fire their head coaches will have to be more creative or willing to gamble more this year than ever before.
From the inbox
Q: With Mike Williams obviously not the receiver we all thought he was and with Arrelious Benn not looking like a true No. 1 receiver, what are the chances of the Bucs going after DeSean Jackson after this season?
Jay in Tampa, Fla.
A: I don't anticipate the Eagles letting Jackson hit the free-agent market, so I don't see that as an option. But let's say he did. Williams, like Jackson, came to his team with a checkered past and questions about how he handled himself. Though Jackson has had problems with his attitude this season, he had been a good citizen. Williams has been a good citizen, but his performance tailed off this season. So did Jackson's without the contract. If the Bucs pay Jackson, I fear Williams will let his performance slip even more because he's not getting the big money in the third year of his rookie contract. Putting Jackson on Tampa Bay with Williams could be a problem. I say no.
Short takes
Mitch in Panama thinks it's a bit early to crown Aaron Rodgers as the MVP. He pushes for Drew Brees, who is on pace to break Dan Marino's yardage and completion record, and is going for Johnny Unitas' consecutive game touchdown record. Brees is a candidate, but it's Rodgers. He's 11-0 and has been more dominant. Michael in Nashville, Tenn., thinks Caleb Hanie is a better option for the Bears than Kyle Orton because he's been in Mike Martz's system for two years. I'd still vote for Orton. He's a quick study and he's experienced. Jansen in Kennebunk, Maine, wonders why no team in need of a quarterback went after David Garrard. Reason is simple: He had back surgery. David in Davis, Calif., predicts Michael Bush will leave in free agency, so he wonders if the Raiders will go after Peyton Hillis for a low price. Hillis wants big money to stay in Cleveland. Don't know if he's ready for low offers. Catherine in Hollywood, Md., likes what Vince Young has been doing in place of Michael Vick. She wonders if it's time to start a quarterback controversy. Vick got a $100 million contract and is an elite quarterback. There is no controversy. He's the starter when he's healthy. Sean in Washington, D.C., thinks the Bucs' Josh Freeman has regressed as a quarterback and wonders if coach Raheem Morris is on the hot seat. I wouldn't call it a hot seat, but the seat is warming up. I still think he'll be coaching the team next year, but there will be changes on the staff. Jermaine in Darlington, S.C., wonders if teams will show interest in trading for the Patriots' Ryan Mallett. One or two teams that didn't get their quarterback in the 2011 draft might consider that one. Niko in Cleveland wonders if it will be hard for the Broncos to keep wide receivers if Tim Tebow is the quarterback. It will be tough. Receivers like catching the ball. It will be hard to recruit quality receivers in free agency. But all of the Broncos -- receivers included -- are having fun during this winning streak.
Q: You told a Jets fan to expect Mark Sanchez to be the QB for several years. But what about Peyton Manning? The Colts are making clear signs they'll pick Andrew Luck. With all the holes on that team, it makes much more sense to trade Manning than Luck.
Joe in New York
A: I don't see a trade for Manning because his $28 million option bonus is due before the start of the 2012 trading period. If the Jets want to sign him, they can sign him if he hits the open market. But Jets coach Rex Ryan is committed to Sanchez. You can't go to AFC title games every year. I know the Bills did it for four years, but that was a rarity. Like it or not, the Jets' quarterback is Sanchez. They just have to upgrade the talent around him.
Q: Huge San Diego fan, but hurting badly because of the performance this year. With the way Philip Rivers is playing this year, and QBs being pulled for bad play all over the league, can we expect to see Billy Volek anytime soon?
Daniel in Lawrence, Kan.
A: Things are bad enough with the Chargers. The last thing they should do is bench Rivers. Rivers is working with a group of pass-catchers that simply is not as good as in the past. Antonio Gates can't get downfield. Vincent Jackson can be double-covered. Malcom Floyd is nowhere to be seen. And the O-line is injured and not protecting. Write it off as a bad year and wait to see if there is a coaching change.
Q: The Peyton Manning situation only proves that the Colts are quite possibly the worst-run team in the entire NFL. When you put all your eggs in one basket and the basket breaks, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Jordan in Wisconsin
A: The Colts' offense is designed for pass-blocking and the pass sets up the run. Without Manning, the Colts can't do anything. Yes, they do need to re-evaluate how they stock the talent on this team. They can't go for light, pass-blocking offensive linemen. They need to get bigger on defense. But the big decision is whether to keep Manning and draft Andrew Luck or trade Luck for draft choices.
Q: How often do teams change their playbooks and insert college-type plays and philosophies, the way the Panthers are doing for Cam Newton and the Broncos for Tim Tebow? I have heard of them constricting the playbook, like the Steelers did in Ben Roethlisberger's rookie year. I just haven't heard of playbooks being completely tailored to a QB on this level. Is this a precedent or just being brought to light more because of the names associated with it?
Les in Augusta, Ga.
A: Coaches steal everything, so they often look to college for new solutions. Bill Belichick took a lot of the Mike Leach passing plays for his offense. A lot of teams are putting a read-option run into their playbooks. Very few revamp their playbook like the Broncos did for Tebow, but coaches are always looking for new things to confuse defenses or offenses.
Q: Why is it that no one ever talks about the Eagles' history of terrible signings. They seem to never want to pay their receivers, and lose them one way or another. They signed a corner they didn't need and overpaid Michael Vick. Their second-best player, DeSean Jackson, is one of the lowest-paid No. 1 receivers in the league. Without him, they wouldn't have made the playoffs last season. Don't you think its time for a GM change?
Andre in Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan
A: One of the problems of bringing in high-priced free agents is that it could rip apart the locker room. I believe that happened this year. Asante Samuel wasn't happy after the Eagles paid big money for Nnamdi Asomugha. Jackson isn't the same after the offseason of big contracts. The one thing that is factual is that we've been talking about the big contracts just about every day. No one is ignoring it, that's for sure.
Q: Why do critics of Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan always point to his yards per attempt (YPA)? To me, YPA is not a statistic solely dependent on the QB. Your thoughts?
From E in Atlanta
A: Great point. Yards per attempt often judges how much a team is getting the ball down the field. If you are around 6.5 yards per attempt, your offense is in trouble. Some of the problems with a low yards per attempt is play calling as the offensive coordinator often doesn't let the ball go down the field. Apparently, the Falcons felt the YPA argument was valid. They traded five draft choices to be in position to draft Julio Jones. With Jones, Ryan has gone from 6.5 yards an attempt to 7.3. That's opened up Tony Gonzalez for longer passes in the middle of the field.
Q: No one in their right mind can defend Ndamukong Suh's antics on Thanksgiving. And I don't intend to. I would, however, like to get your opinion on the inconsistencies of officiating and suspensions in the NFL and how to resolve it. During that Green Bay drive, Suh was blatantly held twice by two Packers, almost as if they were hugging him. Both times there were no flags.
Shane in Pfafftown, N.C.
A: As longtime NFL observers say, holding can be called on every play. There are always going to be inconsistencies with officiating and suspensions. There are going to be more inconsistencies now because the NFL is going through a major change in the way tackles are made. In another year or so, things should be a little more consistent. Like it or not, the league is making players change the way they tackle to better protect players from injuries. Players are adjusting, but it takes time. Still, there is no excuse for Suh's extra antics. A two-game suspension was the right call.

This is the same recipe as the 100 calorie whole-wheat blueberry muffin recipe only I added 2 scoops of vanilla protein to make it more geared toward my diet. I also use fresh blueberries and I add a bit more applesauce than what is called for in recipe. Cook for 25-30 min.

Songs turns on everyone. For some it is the hard beats that construct the aura, for some it is the calming slow tunes that make them move and also for some it is the most recent tracks that entice them. But for everyone it is the music that links the world somehow or the various other. The music which is really to boost the mood, if not listened in good headsets would certainly never be able to leave its influence. In fact, the noise in the low quality earphones could distort your mood to ashes. So, our best tip for you would be to keep the high quality and certainly your mood at a store higher than the Headphones Rate. Having said that, we will tell you which brand names will provide you earphones with the highest worth for your money.
Imaginative is a renowned name in the sector of audio tools and also acquiring a set of headsets from it would certainly be a sensible choice to make. The Creative Headphones Rate could be a little higher than the common headphones that you had actually gotten, however like we informed headsets are about high quality and the neighborhood headsets that quit functioning after couple of weeks would stand no place just before the imaginative earphones. And in a long term, the creative headphones would be worthier compared to the local headphones. Quality for twenty fold longer life will certainly get the well worth of your money. The headsets look amazing and also provide the best efficiency. Rely on us; purchasing a number of imaginative headphones would certainly be the wisest deal that you will certainly make.
An additional brand name that you have to thought about as just before buying the headphones is Sony. But we would like to discuss right here that Sony headphones rate are greater in contrast to the imaginative headsets. So you had the chance to be gotten ready for that mentally along with financially before you give a want to them. It as soon as you will consider them, there are large classifications in Sony earphones. From First class audio and also comfortable fit to hi-fi residence theater, lightweight to DJ monitor and also sound cancelling to XB added Bass, Sony has headsets of all kinds as well as naturally at various costs. You can pick the one ideal fit to your requirement. And In situation you are searching for small high quality with efficient rates, scroll the options in Sennheiser because the Sennheiser Headphones Rate is very in your range.

The International Chamber of Shipping said the maritime industry shouldn't have to pay more than its share of the cost of reducing carbon dioxide emissions blamed for global warming.
ICS Chairman Masamichi Morooka responded to Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, who said last month that "charges on international aviation and maritime emissions would raise about a quarter of the $100 billion needed for climate adaptation and mitigation in developing countries."
"Most shipowners believe, given the severely depressed state of global shipping markets, that now is certainly not the time to impose an additional major cost on international shipping," Morooka said in a letter to Lagarde.
He said shipowners are willing to pay their share of costs, "provided that such money is indeed used for climate change adaptation or mitigation," and that the same charges apply to all ships internationally regardless of flag.
Morooka added that any contribution by shipping should be proportionate to its 3 percent share of global emissions, and that the International Maritime Organization should be the proper forum for discussion of any fees.
He noted that two-thirds of the world's merchant fleet is registered in nations not covered by Annex 1 of the Kyoto climate-change protocol.
"If any carbon charges were only to apply to ships registered in Kyoto Protocol 'Annex 1' nations, these ships would be at a major competitive disadvantage to the ships registered in 'non-Annex 1' nations," Morooka said. "Because of the serious market distortion that would be created, many of these ships would simply change their flag to a jurisdiction where the carbon charge did not apply."

The Fabricators & Manufacturers Association said its third quarter 2013 Forming & Fabricating Job Shop Consumption Report shows predictable strength in future manufacturing activity for this sector, based on planned capital investment.
"Shops do not make capital investments unless there is a solid reason to expect the investment will pay off," said Dr. Chris Kuehl, economic analyst for the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association. "This report reflects a far more confident look forward than many had expected given all the uncertainty that has surrounded the economy in recent months."
Projections for business in the coming quarter is positive with more than half of respondents indicating they expect improvement and another 36% expecting business will remain stable. Only 14% expect a decline.

This Minute at Runco
Runco Rep MeetingTuesday, February 23, 2010
Posted by Jennifer Blasen
Runco is dedicated to selective distribution and Runco products are available exclusively through the best dealers in the home theater business – the Runco authorized dealer network. We recommend local dealers for you to contact using our dealer locator.
With the dealer locator, you can find a business familiar with Runco products, and see their showroom near you. To help us guide and support our valued dealer community, Runco partners with a network of manufacturer representatives across the continent that specialize in supporting high end audio and video products. Most Runco representatives have worked with Runco for several years and deliver sales support, and superior customer service on a daily basis.
Last week, 17 Runco representative firms from the U.S. and Canada visited Runco headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon for a two day meeting. The days were packed full, and Reps had an opportunity to meet with the entire Runco team – from service to engineering. Reps received a taste of Runco Academy Sales and Technical dealer trainings with in-depth product sessions from Runco Field Technical Product Specialists of the award winning Runco video processor DHD Digital Controller, and Runco's LED QuantumColor Q-750 projector. Reps also had an opportunity to view some really exciting products and technologies that will launch later this year. Although the visit went quickly, It didn't take long to see common passions between the Runco staff and reps – superior service and video performance.
~Jennifer is a Linfield College Wildcat and has enjoyed her work with Runco for the past 3 years. In her spare time she enjoys running, golfing, working in the garden, and trying new things in the kitchen.

Earlier this week comScore reported that mobile devices (smartphones + PCs) were responsible for 60 percent of total digital media time in the US (chart at right). Traditional TV is still the king in the US in terms of overall consumer time spent.
More specifically, comScore said that US users spend 51% of all their digital media time in mobile apps. The firm reports roughly 83% of mobile media time is app-based (vs. the mobile web). Nielsen puts the number at 89%.
I spoke to comScore at some length about these numbers. We agreed that ad dollars would eventually follow the consumer traffic migration. The question is how long it might take. For the past few years mobile ad spending in the US has roughly doubled YoY (per the IAB):
Total digital ad revenue in the US for 2014 will probably be around $49 billion. If time spent and ad spend were aligned mobile would capture more than half of that number (and in-app advertising the bulk of that). Accordingly mobile ad revenue would be $29.4 billion and PC ad revenue would be $19.6 billion.
That would be radical.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 KOs) and Erislandy "The American Dream" Lara (19-1-2, 12 KOs) both made weight yesterday weighing in at 155lbs for their highly anticipated showdown tonight on Showtime PPV live at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This fight has the potential to be a candidate for fight of the year. They have two common opponents, Alfredo Angulo and Austin Trout. Canelo won by TKO 10 over Angulo back in March of this year and won a unanimous decision over Trout in April of 2013. Lara also won by TKO 10 over Angulo in June of 2013 and a unanimous decision over Trout in December of 2013. The difference is that Lara struggled with Angulo, being knocked down twice in the process. The fight was stopped due to a bad cut over Angulo's eye. Canelo made easy work of Angulo starting from the first round. It was a shut out for Canelo until the referee stopped it because of the punishment that Angulo was taking. But then we have Trout, whom Lara made easy work of and Canelo had more of a struggle. The fight was much closer than the judges scored it. Canelo scored a knock down which pretty much was the difference in the fight in my opinion. As they say, styles make fights.
Lara is a slick southpaw with a 75 inch reach, and he is very capable of being able to outbox the orthodox Canelo. For him to win, his best chance is to try and control the fight with his jab, being that he will have a 4 ½ reach advantage. Canelo has a 70 ½ inch reach. Lara needs to box and move and not get caught up in a slug fest with the heavier handed Canelo. Canelo has a good jab and an awesome left hook. For him to win, I think he needs to go to the body of Lara to slow down his movement. I don't think he gets enough credit for his boxing skills either. My thing is I have seen more consistency with Canelo than Lara. I have seen Lara have more rough times more than I have seen him comfortable but he has also looked great at times. Canelo has pretty much dominated all of his opponents except for Floyd Mayweather, Jr., his only loss. I think that both guys will have their moments. Lara is a very dangerous opponent for Canelo. If it goes to the scorecards, it may be some controversy. The only way I see Lara winning a decision is he will have to dominate every round and maybe even get a knockdown or two. We see how the judges scored the Canelo/Mayweather fight, and I couldn't find one round that Canelo dominated. Canelo will also have the crowd on his side, so they will be screaming for everything that he does, whether the punches land or not. I am very excited about this fight. This is a fight where it's pretty much 50/50 and will be a coming out party for the winner.
My official prediction is Saul "Canelo" Alvarez by unanimous decision.

"Awesome and simple recipe...my fiance is bringing over the meat and I needed a quick flavor fix, and whipped this up in minutes with ingredients i had on hand. I added a spoonful of honey, and will probably sprinkle my chicken and broccoli stir-fry with sesame seeds. A sauce that satisfies my Korean and his Norwegian palette? Five stars all aro..."
"This is an easy and excellent recipe, although I'll probably add more sauce when I reheat it. I won't bother making time-consuming lasagna anymore - this satisfies my deepest Italian cravings. Thanks!"
"Great and easy recipe! I just made a few substitutions - I omitted the mushrooms and added a can of stewed tomatoes, and a packet of dry onion soup. This recipe provides a great base to tweak to your tastebuds' delight. Thanks!"
"I omitted the berries because they were so pricey, but the pie still turned out wonderfully. It has a delicate yet tangy flavor that satisfied both my lemon-loving palette and my bf's more subtle tastebuds. And it was SOOO easy to make!"
"Good recipe, took it to a potluck and everyone enjoyed it. Made it without hearts of palm but it was fine. The feta really enhances the dish."
"Excellent, easy, and savory dish! I made this with 2 large chicken breasts, and next time I will double the amount of sauce because it was so good."

Rescue Me Review: It's Not Who You Know, It's Who You Blowby Sean McKenna at . Comments
So what - or, let's be honest, who - went down on this week's Rescue Me?
At the forefront, Tommy and his crew found themselves worried about their personal lives being investigated by Pam Keppler and her TV crew. After all, they've got enough dirt to fill up the Grand Canyon. All of them discussing their dirty laundry list of adventures was a funny way to visit memory lane. I forgot about Lou's nun sex-capades.
These guys have really been through a lot of outrageous circumstances. A lot.
Bringing back hockey and Tommy's cop ice rink rival, Todd, was another treat. These two were back to their bickering ways and the tension between the police and firefighters over 9/11 was certainly still there. What better way to deal with it than a good old fashioned bar fight?
However, I was highly disappointed that the whole hockey game was skipped over and the show jumped straight to the bar scene. I was looking forward to seeing some on-ice banter and action.Moments that reflect and bring back up past experiences are great ways of maintaining continuity, but also illustrate that the writers don't forget about everything that happened before. It also makes this final season feel more complete, like it truly is headed towards an end.
But where would the episode be without a little "Head?" Hello, sex scandal.
Apparently, Pam really likes to be in front of the camera. I guess she always has a backup job if news reporter doesn't work out. I was really pleased when her nosy little self sat like a deer in the headlights after Sheila showed her that she had video. You start digging around in other people's lives, it's only fair that others do it right back.
I was rather surprised at Mike's revelation. True, it did end up helping Tommy, releasing him from his suspension. Yet I never got the feeling that Mike was gay, not to the degree this season has made him. I knew he had been confused during the earlier seasons and hooked up with both girls and guys (hence the gay jokes), but I thought he had established himself as straight or at least bi.
I guess he finally feels sure about himself and who he is as a person, which is great growth considering his character was rather all over the place. Remember when he stalked the girl who dumped him back in season two? Yeah, he's come a long way. Mike certainly exudes more confidence, even if he still comes across as simple minded. Plus, he's still there for his friends and fellow firefighters. Good for you, Mike.
It was an interesting choice for Sheila to carry out the blackmail. I guess she hasn't really had much to do since she's been stuck in the apartment. That said, Sheila did it with such a passionate force and "you think you've got me, but I've got you" attitude that she really was the best choice to stick it to Pam and HQ. Additionally, her final lines about doing it for the Gavins proved how far Sheila has come. She's stepped up for family and for a family she wants to be a part of.
These gradual changes are slowly, but surely, happening for everyone. Most importantly, Tommy seems to have gotten Kelly's message and even Needles' speech about thinking about others. Taking back control of his female run apartment was an important step. Telling Janet and Sheila how he honestly felt and how everything was going to work, and positively work for everyone, was fantastic.
They may be a dysfunctional family of liars, cheaters, stealers, and drunks... but they are still going to be a family that works and stays together. You've got your manhood back, Tommy.
Things may seem to be going in a positive direction for the characters. but I'm still waiting for some eventual downfall to take place. Pessimistic? Maybe, but if something feels too good to be true, it probably is.
After all, Tommy Gavin staying out of trouble? What show do you think you're watching?
Sean McKenna is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow him on Twitter.Tags: Rescue Me, Reviews
I agree with Fontaine...There may be hiccups along the way...But this season should be about putting everyone in a place where we the audience can imagine them being safe and relatively happy. I thought the Tommy Gavin Talks to The Girls scene was a little forced, really...But I think it showed he was starting to think a little like a patriarch rather than a raging hormone. We are seeing a new Tommy Gavin emerge. The Mike is Gay thing was talking about Mike being gay a while back, as I recall....I think he's bi now, but what does it matter, really. The Bad Fart Girl thing was apparently just a cutaway thing so that the leads could take a day off, as it came to nothing. Sheila manipulated the FDNY guys a little too easily, if you ask me. They can tank Mole Boy AND Tommy just as easily...And why wouldn't BallBag want to roast Mole Boy anyway? He's a zealot, isn't he? Still, I enjoyed the ep....I was hoping for hockey or more of the brawl, but it was pretty good anyway. I don't usually notice this, or care...But Sheila's outfit was awful during her blackmail efforts. Who picked that shit out? The woman is (inexplicably) rich, but she's wearing a crappy plastic jacket and crud dress? The wardrobe folks dropped the ball there.
This is the last season, so a turnaround for most of the characters might be just the right thing. I got SO tired of every single plot being about alcoholism last season.

Truly Classic Girl Names
The most recent blog about Alice got me thinking about classic names. My naming style is definitely classic, perhaps with a slight twist. Right now I'm re-doing my girls' list, so I was wondering if you could list the names that you personally think truly embody the word "classic" - names that are not passing trends, but rather stand the test of time, are beautiful and feminine, age well, or whatever other definition for the word "classic" you have.
Thoughts? All comments and suggestions are appreciated.- Meghan

Well I just tried to buy a Minecraft license online. I went through their payment page, put in my name and credit card info and got declined because their payment processor, Moneybookers, said I needed to sign up for an account and scan my drivers license and send it to them.
I kinda would have liked to have played the full version of Minecraft but I am sure as hell not giving out that kind of information for it.
Re:Just keep in mind the tradeoff (556 comments)
Again somewhat true. Academic research is largely funded by private companies, in exchange for exclusive rights to the fruits of the research.
Re:What about the parents? (466 comments)
This. A thousand times this.
At my son's school they have a student code of conduct regarding technology which both the children and their parents are supposed to sign. One of the more egregious clauses gives the school permission to seize and search through students cell phones, laptops, MP3 players, etc, if they believe there is some incriminating evidence contained within. I struck that clause out and wrote a note saying if they had any problems with that to contact me, not a peep.
If the school has any concerns or suspicions about what my son is doing they should contact me and have me search through his stuff. If we give the school that power it just desensitises our children against invasive privacy abuse.
Re:Interesting.... (1017 comments)
This is exactly what needs to happen.
A locked door to the cockpit prevents anyone from hijacking the plane and crashing it into a building. An armed guard deters (but doesn't entirely prevent) someone from taking hostages. There is no way to prevent every misdeed, but this seems like a fair compromise between security and liberty to me.
Re:Degrees of definition (148 comments)
I believe that under all kinds of conditions paper beats rock.
Re:Heh, figures. (346 comments)
Speaking from personal experience that 1 in 6 set of odds is only for the first 360 you buy. If you have to send it in for warranty repair/work then you get a refurbished unit which has a significantly higher rate of failure. In my case I went through 3 refurbs which each arrived DOA before I sold my 360 and all my games and went and bought a PS3.
I went against my conscience and bought a 360 because it had some cool games, but it wasn't worth it, and that's the last dime of my money that M$ gets.
Re:Awesome. (278 comments)
Hate to say it but 3G (1900MHz) is microwave.
Re:Chiming in (312 comments)
Using a 14400 baud modem, my job was uploading large Microsoft Access DB files to non-networked
So, now, were they networked or weren't they? Because a modem connection still is a network connection. A slow one, over POTS, but still a network connection.

How To Create A Vision Board Using Online Tools
"A Vision Board is a collage of images, pictures and affirmations of your dreams and desires. It can also be called a dream board, treasure map or vision map. Vision Boards are a great way to make you feel positive, and are helpful if you are using the law of attraction." — wikiHow
But before jumping in to create a magnificent Vision Board, it's obvious to say that it's worth spending some time thinking about what your dreams are and what you want to achieve for the year and for the years ahead, so you can start to form a range of visions in your head about realising those goals.
There are many opinions about the best way to manage your goals, but ultimately, what's most important is that you find something that works for you and you feel comfortable with.
So, the first main step in this process is to write down your goals and be specific and determined as possible. By specific, I mean give yourself a timeframe to which you want to achieve that particular goal. By determined, I mean give yourself some conviction and a promise that you "will" achieve this goal. For example, if I wanted to have saved $20,000, it's best to document the specifics, like:
"I will save $20,000 by December 2013 and I will achieve this by saving $X every month from my pay and the remainder will be earned through selling my surfboards ($X) and old computer ($X) and I will get a second job working weekends by February 2013."
For more information about how to write and manage your goals, check out one of my favourite infographics at the end of this post called the "Outrageously Simple Visual Guide to Goal Setting' infographic by Eric Welke. Also, check out my good friend +Si Muddell's blog post here for a very useful and detailed explanation of how to get more out of your goals and actually achieve them. Seriously, it's a great resource and a must read! I'll be referencing it several times this year without a doubt!
Once you're comfortable with your list of goals, it's time to start making your Vision Board!
How To Create A Vision Board Using Online Tools:
Now my method of making a Vision Board differs to how most people would traditionally make them – with magazine cut-outs and clippings etc. Being a fiend for online marketing, my method for creating a Vision Board uses online tools that are freely available. And of course once the Vision Board is complete, you have an easy opportunity to share it with friends on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Blog about it to encourage others to notice your ambitions and to support them throughout the year.
1. Keep your list of goals in front of you for reference. Tip: Create a Google Doc to keep all your goals in, so you can access it where ever, whenever.
2. Jump on Google Images or Pinterest and save images to your desktop that relate to your goals. Tip: a quick way to save images onto your desktop is to click and drag the images onto the desktop, instead of right-clicking and selecting Save Image As.
3. Create a board on Pinterest and upload the images to the board as a great place to document your vision board images and it acts as a great reminder to yourself about what you're striving for.
4. Download Picasa (Google's image editing software) and follow the instructions until the application is open and running.
5. Once Picasa has registered the images on your desktop in the library (this will happen automatically) select the option to create a Collage and select your images from the library.
6. Rearrange the images the way you like.
7. Save the collage as a JPEG.
8. Print out a few A3 copies to hang in your room. I put one above my computer and one near my door so they are always in view when I work and when I walk out the room. Tip: Get creative and put the print-outs in an A3 frame, or better yet, why don't you get a canvas printed?
9. Upload your new Vision Board to Pinterest, Blog about it and share it with your friends to get even more motivated!
10. Never lose sight of what you want to achieve. Look at your Vision Board every day and actually visualise yourself seeing your bank account with $20,000 saved, or see yourself buying that perfect investment property you always wanted, or picture yourself surfing with your best mates in Indonesia. These were all real goals of mine in 2012, and I can proudly say that I achieved them, thanks to my Vision Board and staying focused.
I really hope this helps you get motivated and inspired to achieve great things. Once you've made your new Vision Board, I'd love to see it! Either contact me directly or share a link to where it's saved on Pinterest or your Blog.
Goodluck with your Vision Board!
PS: Here's that awesome infographic I mentioned earlier: "Outrageously Simple Visual Guide to Goal Setting' infographic by Eric Welke:
I've done pretty much the same thing myself. Actually I try to keep photos of my dreams in the places that I often see. I think it helps with the visualisation itself! I have even created a blog for this whole law of attraction. You can find it here http://www.thelawattraction.com/
Thank you for sharing such posts as they truly inspire to live

Tornado watch canceled after active day of severe weather
Updated On: Apr 27 2014 10:05:21 PM CDT
The National Weather Service has canceled a tornado watch that had been issued for the entire Kansas City metro and surrounding areas.
The watch was issued mid-day Sunday and canceled by 9:40 p.m.
Two rounds of severe weather pushed into the metro, bringing heavy rain and hail both times. No damage was reported in the immediate metro.
Tornado warnings were issued to the south of Kansas City in Linn County, Kan., and Bates County, Mo., where a tornado was spotted. It appeared to do damage in mainly rural areas.
See images of the tornado from Newschopper 9 HD | Live weather updates | Images of damage from Odessa, Mo.
The National Weather Service said there were reports of damaged homes and vehicles in the Odessa, Mo., area. A semitrailer on Interstate 70 was blown over on its side.
Hail as large as golf balls was reported in Johnson County, Kan., and other parts of the Kansas City metro. A large tree fell on one house and came to rest against the side of another near 42nd and Bell streets in Kansas City, Mo.

Hong Kong Debates Calling Mainlanders "Locusts"
The hot debate in Hong Kong at the moment is the question of whether Mainlanders should be protected from racism by local Hong Kongers.
As anyone who has travelled knows, Mainlanders are generally unwelcome in every country at the moment including other Asian countries and cities like Hong Kong. Â Everyone has the same problems with them – blaming high property prices, pressure on social services when they move in large numbers, asset bubbles, lack of milk powder availability, overcrowded streets from tourism and general rude social behaviour like hoiking and using the streets as a toilet. Â New Zealand is not alone in anti-Chinese sentiment.

The Deal: Smithfield Deal Likely to Clear National Security Review
NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- Shuanghui International Holdings is expected to receive clearance from national security regulators for its planned $7.1 billion acquisition of Smithfield Foods (SFD). An announcement of the approval could come from the companies as early as Friday.
The investigation of the deal by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. is scheduled to close Friday. China-based Shuanghui announced Tuesday that it had put in place $4 billion in debt financing for the acquisition, a clear indication that the company is confident that it will win CFIUS approval. Smithfield revealed on July 24 that CFIUS had extended its review of the deal from the initial informal 30-day review to a second-phase, 45-day investigation that would run through Sept. 6.
The debt package is a facilities agreement with Bank of China Ltd., Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank BA (also known as Rabobank International), Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DBS Bank Ltd., Natixis Global Asset Management SA, Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Ltd. and Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Ltd.
"The investors wouldn't participate in a financing this size unless they were given some pretty strong assurances the deal would close," said Farhad Jalinous, a partner in the CFIUS practice at Kaye Scholer LLP.CFIUS experts are examining the review to learn whether the panel insists on mitigation conditions aimed at ensuring that sound safety practices are carried out on Smithfield and other Shuanghui pork that ends up being processed in China and imported to the U.S. The Smithfield deal could provide national security regulators an opportunity to create a framework for reviewing deals that affect food security. Such conditions would be a first -- CFIUS typically addresses military, physical infrastructure and law enforcement issues posed by a foreign company's takeover of a U.S. asset.
