God encourages Abram. (1) The Divine promise, Abraham is justified by faith. (2-6) God promises Canaan to Abraham for an inheritance. (7-11) The promise confirmed in a vision. (12-16) The promise confirmed by a sign. (17-21)
Verse 1 God assured Abram of safety and happiness; that he should for ever be safe. I am thy shield; or, I am a shield to thee, present with thee, actually caring for thee. The consideration that God himself is, and will be a shield to his people, to secure them from all evils, a shield ready to them, and a shield round about them, should silence all perplexing, tormenting fears.
Verses 2-6 Though we must never complain of God, yet we have leave to complain to him; and to state all our grievances. It is ease to a burdened spirit, to open its case to a faithful and compassionate friend. Abram's complaint is, that he had no child; that he was never likely to have any; that the want of a son was so great a trouble to him, that it took away all his comfort. If we suppose that Abram looked no further than outward comfort, this complaint was to be blamed. But if we suppose that Abram herein had reference to the promised Seed, his desire was very commendable. Till we have evidence of our interest in Christ, we should not rest satisfied; what will all avail me, if I go Christless? If we continue instant in prayer, yet pray with humble submission to the Divine will, we shall not seek in vain. God gave Abram an express promise of a son. Christians may believe in God with respect to the common concerns of this life; but the faith by which they are justified, always has respect to the person and work of Christ. Abram believed in God as promising Christ; they believe in him as having raised him from the dead, ( Romans 4:24 ) . Through faith in his blood they obtain forgiveness of sins.
Verses 7-11 Assurance was given to Abram of the land of Canaan for an inheritance. God never promises more than he is able to perform, as men often do. Abram did as God commanded him. He divided the beasts in the midst, according to the ceremony used in confirming covenants, ( jeremiah 34:18 jeremiah 34:19 ) . Having prepared according to God's appointment, he set himself to wait for the sign God might give him. A watch must be kept upon our spiritual sacrifices. When vain thoughts, like these fowls, come down upon our sacrifices, we must drive them away, and seek to attend on God without distraction.
Verses 12-16 A deep sleep fell upon Abram; with this sleep a horror of great darkness fell upon him: a sudden change. The children of light do not always walk in the light. Several things were then foretold. 1. The suffering state of Abram's seed for a long time. They shall be strangers. The heirs of heaven are strangers on earth. They shall be servants; but Canaanites serve under a curse, the Hebrews under a blessing. They shall be suffers. Those that are blessed and beloved of God, are often sorely afflicted by wicked men. 2. The judgment of the enemies of Abram's seed. Though God may allow persecutors and oppressors to trample upon his people a great while, he will certainly reckon with them at last. 3. That great event, the deliverance of Abram's seed out of Egypt, is here foretold. 4. Their happy settlement in Canaan. They shall come hither again. The measure of sin fills gradually. Some people's measure of sin fills slowly. The knowledge of future events would seldom add to our comfort. In the most favoured families, and most happy lives, there are so many afflictions, that it is merciful in God to conceal what will befall us and ours.
Verses 17-21 The smoking furnace and the burning lamp, probably represented the Israelites' severe trials and joyful deliverance, with their gracious supports in the mean time. It is probable that this furnace and lamp, which passed between the pieces, burned and consumed them, and so completed the sacrifice, and testified God's acceptance of it. So it intimates that God's covenants with man are made by sacrifice, ( Psalms 50:5 ) . And we may know that he accepts our sacrifices, if he kindles in our souls pious and devout affections. The bounds of the land granted are stated. Several nations, or tribes, are spoken of, that must be cast out to make room for the seed of Abram. In this chapter we perceive in Abram faith struggling against, and triumphing over, unbelief. Wonder not, believers, if you meet with seasons of darkness and distress. But it is not the will of God that you should be cast down: fear not; for all that he was to Abram he will be to you.
Genesis 15:1-21 . DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT.
1. After these things--the conquest of the invading kings.
the word of the Lord--a phrase used, when connected with a vision, to denote a prophetic message.
Fear not, Abram--When the excitement of the enterprise was over, he had become a prey to despondency and terror at the probable revenge that might be meditated against him. To dispel his fear, he was favored with this gracious announcement. Having such a promise, how well did it become him (and all God's people who have the same promise) to dismiss fears, and cast all burdens on the Lord ( Psalms 27:3 ).
2. Lord God, what wilt thou give?--To his mind the declaration, "I am thy exceeding great reward" [ Genesis 15:1 ], had but one meaning, or was viewed but in one particular light, as bearing on the fulfilment of the promise, and he was still experiencing the sickness of hope deferred.
3. Eliezer of Damascus . . . one born in my house is mine heir--According to the usage of nomadic tribes, his chief confidential servant, would be heir to his possessions and honors. But this man could have become his son only by adoption; and how sadly would that have come short of the parental hopes he had been encouraged to entertain! His language betrayed a latent spirit of fretfulness or perhaps a temporary failure in the very virtue for which he is so renowned--and absolute submission to God's time, as well as way, of accomplishing His promise.
4. This shall not be thine heir--To the first part of his address no reply was given; but having renewed it in a spirit of more becoming submission, "whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it" [ Genesis 15:8 ], he was delighted by a most explicit promise of Canaan, which was immediately confirmed by a remarkable ceremony.
9-21. Take me an heifer, &c.--On occasions of great importance, when two or more parties join in a compact, they either observe precisely the same rites as Abram did, or, where they do not, they invoke the lamp as their witness. According to these ideas, which have been from time immemorial engraven on the minds of Eastern people, the Lord Himself condescended to enter into covenant with Abram. The patriarch did not pass between the sacrifice and the reason was that in this transaction he was bound to nothing. He asked a sign, and God was pleased to give him a sign, by which, according to Eastern ideas, He bound Himself. In like manner God has entered into covenant with us; and in the glory of the only-begotten Son, who passed through between God and us, all who believe have, like Abram, a sign or pledge in the gift of the Spirit, whereby they may know that they shall inherit the heavenly Canaan.

This is my first post on this forum, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I've been a huge fan of the Runebound Universe since Runebound, First Edition. I played Red Scorpion in my first game, but fell in love with Mad Carthos my second game and stayed with him ever since.
My friends have been pressuring me to play a Runebound roleplaying game, but while Descent is enjoyable, it's a little too complicated and time-consuming to both set up and play, so I am trying to make for our group a system that works well on paper. Before I get too far though, is FFG working on something like this already? A pencil and paper roleplaying game set in the world of Terrinoth? If not, are there any legal repercussions from sharing my personal ambitions into such a project with my friends? (Or online.)
Secondly, are there threads on these forums already devoted to such a thing? If so, can anyone point them out for me? Thanks so much. Here's to my project, Runetouched, the Roleplaying Game.
Oh, also, are there any novels set in Terrinoth?

Chevy Trailblazer brake warning and fan problems
2006 trailblazer after start 4 warning lights on all for brakes they will go off if blower fan is off and come back on when fan is on? what is problem
dawnechar Posts: 3As the weather got cooler the problem went away? Recently the weather turned hot again (upper 80's) and more humid and the problem returned, The fan will only operate on #5 position if I turn fan to any other position 1 thru 4 the fan shuts off and numerous brake warning lights come on along with brake pressure alarm. Everything goes away if I return blower to off or #5 speed position. I'm thinking some sort of ground problem which could be affected by temp or humidity. I'm open to any suggestions!!!
copelg Posts: 1I recently started having the same problem with the 4 brake warning lights, but have not tied it to my fan, yet. I will try that the next time I am in the car. The service center tested and found the brakes to be ok and just recalibrated the sensor lights about 2 weeks ago. However, that did not cure the problem. It started happening to me as the weather turned cooler. Have you found out anything else?
akhenaten Posts: 4We have a 2007 TB piece of junk, too. I posted a warning 8/16/08 re: Stabilitrak Danger. After many, many trips to the dealer and a monitor installed it was discovered to be a loose yaw connection in a sensor located under the front passenger seat. The engineer's manual specified the location of this sensor under the driver's seat. This, however, was in error. Imagine that...GM making another bad product!
rpiper Posts: 2I have 5 lights that come on for me at certain times. ABS, emerg, stabilitrak, svc stabilitrak, and svc 4 whl drive lights. when all r on, the fan for heater won't work. When all but the svc 4 whl drive light shut off, then the fan works again. Very strange, not sure of the problem. Any suggestions?...... looks like I'm not the only one.....
wjchevy Posts: 1I have a 2003 chevy trailblazer ext lt i recently crash my front end i repaired my truck myself but when i replaced the fan clutch, i i connected the fan with wire from harness but their is another smaller connection attached to that wire and i do not know were it goes connected to. so it makes my check engine light come on therefore i can not pass inspection. can anybody help please?..

On Tuesday the organization hosted its annual Campaign Kickoff Luncheon at First Baptist Church for the Pacesetters.
Volunteers and representatives from various Pacesetter companies, as well as United Way agencies were served a lunch of fresh pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, coleslaw, an array of desserts and cold beverages that were donated by Nehi Bottling Company.
After their meal, they were spiritually feed with musical renditions from Kenny Williams of Cleveland Funeral Home and Ray Mattox, pianist for North Greenwood Baptist Church.
The 2013 campaign theme is "Let's Make The Difference."
According to Brett Boykin, campaign chair, the organization selected the theme because Bolivar County is often referenced as the jewel of the South.
"We're really excited about this year's campaign, because so many people have worked very hard to make all of this possible, " said Boykin.
According to Boykin, the Pacesetters have raised a total of $35,714.36.
The organization's goal is to raise $123,710 by the end of its 2013 campaign.
"I think that we are going to do well this year. We've got United We Dance on Oct. 21. We got the United We Dance idea from United Way of Vicksburg. Their organization hosted the event and it was very lucrative. It should be a lot of fun," said Boykin.
Will Sledge, president of United Way of Cleveland-Bolivar County, express great appreciation to the Pacesetters, "Our Pacesetters are Atmos Energy, Baxter HealthCare, Bolivar Commercial, Entergy, Monsanto, and Quality Steel Corporation. You guys are the people who have set the pace for the whole campaign. "We really appreciate all of your support and we thank all of you for your hard work and dedication."
Boykin said the Pacesetters determine the way in which the campaign will begin and end.
"It's going to be a good year for United Way and we are so excited," said Sledge.
Agencies supported by the United Way must go through an application each year.
Selected this year for funding are: American Red Cross; 4-H Bolivar County; Bolivar County Literacy Council; Boy Scouts, Chickasaw Council; Community Counseling Center; Girl Scouts Heart of the South; Helping Hands/Community Assistance; Our House, Inc.; St. Jude Children's Hospital; Sunny Seniors; and U.S.O.
All donations raised in Bolivar County stay in Bolivar County to help residents here. Only one percent is sent to the larger United Way organization to maintain membership.
Donations may be sent to the United Way of Cleveland-Bolivar County at P.O. Box 1795, Cleveland, MS 38732 or call 662-846-1646 for more information.

How long does this game take to play?
Time Length of a Game
Posted 01 December 2008 - 07:56 AM
Posted 02 December 2008 - 03:42 AM
The box says one hour and for once it seems to be quite correct amount of time for those who are relatively new to the game. Experienced players will get a game down to 45 minutes.
Posted 03 December 2008 - 04:02 AM
Yes, max time does seem to be around 1 hour with new players.
I have taught this to 3 new players a few times and 1 hour seems to be the correct target time.
Veteren players can be between 30 to 45 minutes.
Most of my games have been 2 player games between 20 - 30 minutes.
Posted 25 January 2010 - 07:36 PM
I ahve played several times and have yet to go over 45 minutes, even when teaching new players.
Posted 15 November 2010 - 10:14 AM
Agreed. Roughly one hour or less.
Posted 28 February 2012 - 04:41 AM
Yeah it also depends on who you are playing with, some people take forever deciding what to do and end up making the game an extra hour! But i guess that is the case with most games. I will say that one of the nicest things about it is the two minute set up, major plus

I bought Amy's Organic Fire Roasted Southwestern Vegetable Soup on a whim because I like to keep some canned soup on hand, making for the perfect addition to a quick lunch whenever needed. I was drawn to this particular variety because I do not like meat in my soups, nor do I enjoy creamy soups and (as delicious as they are) and I was growing tired of my regular stand in, Campbell's Select Harvest Vegetable Medley Soup.
Amy's describes this as, "Organic fire roasted corn, onions and green peppers are combined with fresh vegetables and black beans, and mildly seasoned with green chiles and Southwestern spices." I dug around and found my can opener one rainy day and the first thing I noticed was the copious amount of vegetables and the skins were left on the potatoes (I have never seen this before in a canned soup and it added such a great textural element). Carrots, beans, tomatoes, corn, onions, green bell pepper, celery ... they all hold their own while commingling perfectly within the bold broth, which had a green chili kick to it.
Furthermore, there is a bit of fat in this soup (courtesy of extra virgin olive oil), which gives the broth a slight creamy sensation within the mouth. However, my favorite part of this soup was the grill marks that appeared on each and every vegetable within the flavorful broth ... it tasted as though the vegetables had come straight from my grill outside and into my soup. So yum !
A 1 cup serving (half of the can) of Amy's Organic Fire Roasted Southwestern Vegetable Soup provides 140 calories, 4.5 grams of total fat & only 0.5 grams of saturated fat. There is also 28% of the daily value for sodium, 15% of the DV for fiber and 4 grams of protein. This soup is gluten free, dairy free and vegan. Plus the ingredients list couldn't be more straightforward.
I paid $2.12 for 1 can of Amy's Organic Fire Roasted Southwestern Vegetable Soup, which was an excellent bargain. I will undoubtedly purchase this grill fest again soon

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
In contrast to other skis, which are generally rigid under the fixed binding plate, ARC technology paves the way for a 100% even flex line. What does this mean for the skier? The fact that the ski is able to flex harmoniously from tip to tail allows it to adapt ideally to variations in the terrain to deliver an even smoother ride. From slow runs to fast-paced descents, short turns to long sweeping curves, soft to hard-packed snow: Atomic's ARC technology will bring you the most natural ride ever. Nomad and Nomad [S]: the first skis featuring ARC technology The benefits of this revolutionary technology are now within the reach of anyone who opts for a high-performance ski from the Nomad and Nomad [S] series. For example, with the Blackeye Ti, the top model from the Nomad range, you can pull out all the stops on the piste while still being fully prepared for forays into softer snow. If you're looking for a pure sports chassis for piste skiing, then your ideal choice is one of the skis from the newly developed Nomad [S] series, such as the Temper Ti.

Chris Koger, News EditorHere's something we know to be true: Politicians sometimes lie.
Or at least they're not forthcoming with the whole truth. It's called "spin," and political careers rely on it.
So the recent proclamation by President Barack Obama that broccoli is his favorite food didn't raise many eyebrows around here.
That can't be true ... can it?
Anyway, this slipped out during the Kids' State Dinner, part of Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign to combat childhood obesity.
When I heard this, I thought about Joe Wilson's September 2009 "You lie!" outburst, interrupting Obama during a joint session of Congress.
Schoolchildren are an easier crowd, though. Not a peep of disbelief.
True or not — I really don't have a reason to doubt the president (in this case) — the pervasive message from the White House should be commended by the industry at every turn, and this public endorsement of broccoli is just the tip of the iceberg.
The first lady's Let's Move initiative has engaged the industry like no other previous administration's program that I can remember.
Through donations to the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools campaign, companies are finding a direct link to help boost consumption. Not too many years ago, growers weren't exactly in the loop when it came to ensuring fresh fruits and vegetables were part of school meals and snacks.
I admit I've had more than a few chuckles about how the administration's healthy eating message seems forced: the YouTube video of (the then-) U.S. Department of Agriculture's deputy secretary Kathleen Merrigan and White House assistant chef Sam Kass touting plastic tunnels allowing year-round vegetable production in "any climate," and the use of the White House pastry chef to promote healthful eating.
I used to have the image of Michelle Obama swooping in to slap a Ho-Ho out of a fat kid's hands when hearing about a new event highlighting the anti-obesity campaign.
Not so anymore. Of course, I support programs that help fruit and vegetable marketers sell more product, but it's more than that.
The Obamas are not only putting political muscle behind the fight against childhood obesity, they're inviting the industry to pitch in.
A side note: How things have changed since the Clinton years. Remember the "Saturday Night Live" skit with Clinton campaigning at a fast-food restaurant, stopping to sneak french fries and cheeseburgers off diner's trays?

8/l4/03 Hon. H. O. Havemeyer. New York City. Dear Sir: Answering yours of 4th inst. I desire to say that while we think the Teton factory is an unnecessary thing, and could be prevented; yet if it is determined to build the factory in what we consider our legitimate ter-ritory, (it infringing upon the profitable sugar sales of our other facto¬ries), I certainly desire a proper proportion of the stock. Of course I have not been consulted about this factory, nor upon any other factory in which Mr. Cutler is interested. I have to get my information from out side source; as to all these matters. Regarding the Blackfoot factory, I would also prefer to have some at stock in that. The sales from that factory of course also detrimentally affect our Utah factories. You will remember that just before you went to Europe, you stated that I could get some stock in this factory; and since your return I have been so busy with the Lewiston matter, that I have not before mentioned it.

Here at CNET we review a wide variety of headphones, including some budget models, but rarely do we venture into the sub-$10 range. But in the case of the Panasonic ErgoFit RP-HJE120 earphones, I decided to make an exception.
I saw the ErgoFit RP-HJE120 earbuds on Amazon and opted for the orange model, which I picked up for $6.07 with free two-day shipping because I'm an Amazon Prime member. The model comes in several different colors and some cost a bit more than others, but you should be able to get a pair for less than $10 shipped.
Of course, when it comes to $6 in-ear headphones, you tend to keep your expectations pretty low. Mine were a little higher because I'd read a bunch of favorable user opinions on Amazon, but I nevertheless wasn't expecting too much out of them.
My first reaction upon cutting open the nasty blister pack the product comes in was that the ErgoFit RP-HJE120s indeed looked like cheap earbud-style headphones, albeit with a bit of design flair and dash of cheerful coloring. I believe that when these were originally released they were targeted at iPod Nano owners, and my pair would have gone well with an orange iPod Nano if I owned one.
As you can see from the pictures, these are sort of a hybrid earphone, part hard earbud like your basic Apple earbud and part soft bud. They come with three different-size silicone eartips. At this price, you're more apt to see a hard-bud earphone, but being able to jam the soft tips into your ears helps with sound isolation and maximizes the bass output. I was able to get a tight seal with the largest of the eartips, and I actually thought the earphones were comfortable (in keeping with the ErgoFit name) and they stayed in my ears well.

Heart attack deaths have halved in less than a decade, according to a major study of over 800,000 patients in England. The research has been extensively reported, with news sources suggesting a range of possible reasons, such as better treatments and a reduction in numbers of people smoking.
As the study itself points out, many developed countries have seen reductions in heart-related death over the last 40 years, but it is unclear whether the trend is due to better treatment following a heart attack or steps designed to prevent heart attacks in the first place. This new study found that in England the death rate from heart attacks halved between 2002 and 2010. The researchers calculated that just over half this decline was caused by fewer people having heart attacks and just under half by more people who had heart attacks surviving.
This major, well-conducted study indicates some good news – that fewer heart attacks have occurred in recent years and of those that did occur, fewer were fatal. This encouraging trend is seen in both sexes and all geographical regions. As the authors conclude, further research is needed to determine the specific factors that have resulted in these declines, but the evidence suggests that they are caused by healthier lifestyles, better prevention for those at risk and improved medical treatment for heart attack patients.
However, the findings are not all good news: the study also found that in contrast to the middle aged, heart attack rates have changed relatively little in both young people and the very old. They suggest that rising rates of obesity and diabetes in younger people may eventually contribute to a 'levelling off' of the decline in heart attack rates.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Oxford's Department of Public Health. The individual authors were funded by various institutions, including the Medical Research Council and the British Heart Foundation. Part of the research was funded by the National Institute for Health Research. The study was published in the peer-reviewed British Medical Journal. Newspapers generally covered the research accurately and appropriately.
What kind of research was this?
This study examined recent trends in heart attack rates and deaths from heart attacks, with specific focus on the influence of factors such as sex, age and geographical region. To do so it used information about heart attacks in over 800,000 people, taken from a national database of hospital and mortality records. It also looked at whether any drop in heart attack deaths was primarily due to those people having heart attacks now having a lower risk of dying, or whether it was due to fewer people now experiencing heart attacks.
The authors point out that while many developed countries have seen a decline in heart attack deaths since the 1970s, in England at least, reasons for this decline are not fully understood: it is hard to tell whether increased prevention or improved treatment is primarily responsible. Given this lack of clarity the researchers attempted to examine whether the trend was due to people having fewer heart attacks or to those having heart attacks being less likely to die.
What did the research involve?
The researchers obtained data from national datasets on both hospital admissions and mortality statistics. From this data they were able to include all residents in England who had had a heart attack (or acute myocardial infarction) between 2002 and 2010, as defined by diagnostic codes applied to patient records during treatment. They categorised heart attacks as either fatal (defined as death occurring within 30 days of admission) or non-fatal. To study regional differences they obtained regional data.
Using standard statistical methods they calculated both the new heart attack rate (incidence or event rates) and heart attack death rate (mortality rate) per 100,000 of the population. They did so according to age group and sex, and for each year and each region. They used these figures to calculate the changes in heart attack mortality rates during this period and also the relative contributions of 'event rates' (i.e. the number of heart attacks) and 'case fatality rates' (i.e. the number of deaths among people who had heart attacks).
What were the basic results?
The researchers found that from 2002-10 in England, 840,175 people of all ages were admitted to hospital with heart attack or died suddenly from a heart attack. Some 61% of heart attack patients were men, and 39% were women. The main findings are listed below:
- During this period the mortality rate from heart attacks fell by 50% in men and by 53% in women when the results were 'age standardised', i.e. adjusted to account for the changing age structure of the population.
- The greatest rate of decline in events occurred in men and women aged 65-74, and the lowest decline was among those aged 30-54 and 85 or older.
- In men, rates of heart attacks, deaths due to heart attack, and overall death all declined. The average annual rates of decline were, respectively, 4.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.0% to 6.5%), 3.6% (CI 3.4% to 3.7%) and 8.6% (CI 5.4% to 11.6%).
- In women, the corresponding rate reductions were 4.5% (CI 1.7% to 7.1%), 4.2% (CI 4.0% to 4.3%) and 9.1% (CI 4.5% to 13.6%).
- The researchers then calculated how far the decline in heart attack deaths was caused by lower heart attack rates and how far by the chances of surviving after a heart attack. Reductions in the number of new cases were estimated to account for 57% of the reduction in deaths among men and 52% among women. The chance of surviving a heart attack was estimated to account for 43% of the drop in deaths in men, and 48% in women.
- The relative contributions of these two factors differed by age, sex and geographical region.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
They point out that just over half the decline in deaths from heart attacks over the period can be attributed to a fall in people experiencing heart attacks and just under half to improved survival rates when people did experience a heart attack.
However, the researchers say that it is possible there has been no 'real improvement' in heart attack rates in younger people and the very old. They say that rising rates of obesity and diabetes may be contributing to a 'levelling off' of the decline in numbers of heart attacks.
They suggest that the decline in the numbers of heart attacks could be explained by lifestyle changes and the use of preventative drugs in those at risk, although further research is needed to gain a clearer understanding of the specific elements of prevention and treatment that have contributed to the fall in death rates.
The strengths of this study lie in its very large size and its complete national coverage. One possible limitation is its reliance on the accuracy of routine data and diagnosis codes used from English hospitals, although, as the authors point out, research has shown high accuracy rates for this type of data.
It should be noted that although the study shows a fall in heart attacks and also in death rates among heart attack patients, it does not tell us the precise causes of either. The fall in heart attacks is likely to be linked to healthier lifestyles, earlier detection and a better management of risk factors such as high blood pressure in people at risk. Also, the study only examined deaths from heart attacks and the definition of this has changed over the years, so the researchers say that they could not report on changes in hospital admissions as the diagnostic coding for this has also changed.
Overall, while we cannot fully explain the drop in heart attack deaths observed in this report, the good news is that the trend is clearly going in the right direction.

Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler accepts 'King Slayer' challenge
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com January 3, 2013 9:14PM
Bulls guard Jimmy Butler looks surprised when no foul was called on his drive to basket in the second half of the Chicago Bulls 80-76 loss to the Indiana Pacers December 4, 2012 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
BULLS at HEAT

Updated: February 5, 2013 6:35AM
MIAMI — This latest roll of the eyes was brought to you by Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler, a k a the "King Slayer.''
Butler doesn't know how it happened, whose fault it was or how many people even remember it, but the night the Bulls made him the 30th overall pick in the 2011 draft was memorable for a lot of reasons.
Fresh out of Marquette and with the Bulls fresh off a playoff loss to the Miami Heat, Butler was somehow labeled as the answer for LeBron James.
Blame the media and also blame general manager Gar Forman. Either way, it's still a situation that brings some uneasiness, especially with the Bulls set to face James and the Heat for the first time this season Friday in Miami.
"Yeah, I remember all that,'' Butler said with a deep sigh. "I mean, come on.''
Right after Butler was selected by the Bulls, Forman met with the media at the United Center to discuss the pick. He talked about Butler's makeup and went on and on about his defensive prowess. So, naturally, he was asked if Butler was selected with the sole purpose of locking down James.
Forman said that was the mind-set down the road.
"It was discussed as we went through the process,'' Forman said. "And that's not to put pressure on him that we're just going to throw him on LeBron. The thing we're so excited about Jimmy is his versatility.''
Too late.
The seed was planted, and like many honest answers — fair or unfair — the media instantly fertilized it and helped it grow.
Within a few days, Butler was labeled as the player that would help slow down James. He was the "King Slayer.''
"Like I said, come on,'' Butler said, shaking his head.
If there was a positive to come out of the NBA lockout last season for Butler, it was that all those expectations were somehow forgotten. With no summer workouts and no real training camp, Butler was given the built-in pass. His playing time as a rookie was minimal.
But now? That pass has been revoked, and Butler is a significant player in coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation.
If James overcomes a sore knee that kept him out of practice Thursday and plays, Butler expects to get his Round 1 meeting with King James.
"I feel like . . . look, I'm not going to say the wrong thing,'' Butler said. ''[James] is a superstar, one of the best to ever play the game, you know? I don't think players like him can be stopped, but I do think they can be contained.
''Great players, they don't just score. They also defend, they also pass the ball, they rebound, do a lot of great things, so that's a matchup that we're going to have. Not only LeBron, but [Chris] Bosh and [Dwyane Wade]. You just have to make everything tough on them, every dribble, every basket, everything they do in a basketball game.''
Butler reiterated that he never has come out and said he can be the defensive equalizer for James, but he also isn't about to back down.
"My thing is, I'm not scared of anybody,'' Butler said. "That's the way I have to look at it. I feel like that's how everyone should look at it.
''But if I get lined up against [James], I'll play hard just like I would if I was guarding anybody else. I do whatever it takes for my team to win, whether it's guarding him, guarding D-Wade, guarding Bosh or guarding the five man. I don't care what it is or who it is. I feel like I'm not going to back down from any matchup.''
"King Slayer''?
We'll see.

I was so lucky to have responded to a post from Gayla for postage for strawberry plants. She was so quick to get them ready that she mailed them out before receiving my postage. She sent even more plants than I had expected and they were in great condition. Sharon |

It is July once again, which means Wimbledon is on TV. Whenever I see those tennis players on the grass court, I am reminded that Football season is once again just around the corner.
Here are a few tips for those that have not been to training camp before...
1. Yes, practices and parking are free. A schedule of the practices can be found here.
2. You will notice many evening practices this year, but the sun will still be brutal. Shade is at a premium on the hill that overlooks the practice field, get there early if you need to stay cooler.
3. Autographs are signed at the fence that is closest to the facilities. Players typically take the field about 30 minutes prior to the scheduled practice time. Children typically get first dibs on autographs, as it should be.
4. When you arrive, notice where the large lifts are with the video equipment on top. They are there to film the main practices. Whichever field they are pointing at will be the place where some of the best action of the day takes place.
5. The Beacon is a famous place to eat in Spartanburg, but from personal experience, be sure a restroom is near by. The Pizza Inn in Spartanburg is actually a 1980's time warp, the 3 inch skin on the pudding proves it.
6. Bring your camera! Pictures can be taken during practices.

Dear Lord Pappy.
Training Camp Kickoff Party, Mayor's Ball Run highlight Saturday events
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The NFL's Carolina Panthers return to Wofford College this weekend for the 18th season of summer training camp in Spartanburg. The players report to camp on Friday and the first practice is set for Saturday.
Opening day on Saturday will feature a free party – the Training Camp Kickoff Party – on Saturday afternoon and evening, along with the second annual Mayor's Ball Run hosted by Spartanburg Mayor Junie White and featuring representatives from all 13 of the county's municipalities.
The events are being hosted by Wofford, the City of Spartanburg, the Spartanburg Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce and Team Spartanburg Sports Council.
The Training Camp Kickoff Party is set for 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Gibbs Stadium plaza on Wofford's campus, and will resume from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., following the Panthers' first practice in the stadium beginning at 6:30 p.m.
"The 'must do' for Panthers fans interested in attending training camp is going to the team's Training Camp Kickoff Party on training camp's opening night (Saturday, July 28)," Riley Fields, Panthers director of community relations, says. "This free, family-style football bash features live entertainment, interactive activities for the entire family and the thrill of watching practice in the high-energy setting of Wofford's Gibbs Stadium."
Performances by the Panthers' TopCats cheerleaders, mascot Sir Purr and Purrcussion are scheduled, along with face painting, food, giveaways and more.
Admission is free.
Also scheduled is the second annual Mayor's Ball Run, hosted by the City of Spartanburg and Mayor Junie White, with participants from the 12 other municipalities in Spartanburg County.
The ball run begins at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, with White running the opening leg and representatives of the other towns running different legs of the route down Church Street to Evins Street to Gibbs Stadium. A student from the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind will finish up the run, taking the ball onto the stage, where White officially will proclaim Panthers Training Camp open in a ceremony set for 6 p.m.
"The NFL is the most successful and most popular professional sports league in the world and only 32 communities can claim to be the summer home for an NFL team," White says. "The city benefits greatly from the Panthers' presence here every July and August. The team brings people to the city who otherwise would never come here and it gives us a platform to share with a large number of visitors the great quality of life and opportunities found in the city.
During training camp, fans will get their first look of the 2012 NFL season at quarterback Cam Newton, returning for his second year with the Panthers, along with the other players – veterans and rookies alike.
"Anticipation for the upcoming Carolina Panthers season is at an all-time high," Fields says. "Training camp provides a great fan friendly opportunity for fans to see their favorite players up close and in person as the season gets under way."
For players, it's all about work, though they will stop to sign auto graphs and greet fans who come out to watch. For Panthers fans, training camp is a terrific, free, family-oriented experience from beginning to end.
In addition to the Back to Football Kickoff Party, this year's activities again will include T-shirt Tuesdays, Play 60 Family Fun Day and the Panther Pals program.
On T-Shirt Tuesdays (each Tuesday during camp), players will toss T-shirts into the crowd along the autograph zone after practice.
Play 60 Family Fun Day will be held on Sunday, July 29, with appearances by the TopCats and Sir Purr, face painting and more activities for the whole family from 5-7 p.m. on the Intramural Fields at Wofford, near the Panthers' practice fields. The Play 60 Kids Combine promotes the NFL's Play 60 youth fitness initiative through a variety of fun, kid-friendly activity stations.
Panther Pals offers children between the ages of 6 and 13 an opportunity to watch part of practice from field level and then spend time with a player afterwards. Kids can register to be a Panther Pal at the welcome tent located outside the entrance to the practice fields. Five names will be chosen randomly about 30 minutes before the end of practice. The children selected will receive a Panther Pal T-shirt and will be escorted to a special area to watch the conclusion of practice. Panther Pals will be held at the public practices Monday through Friday of the first two weeks and Monday and Tuesday of the final week (July 30-Aug. 3, Aug. 6-10, and Aug. 13-14).
The practice schedule and the schedule for these promotional events are subject to change – day, time or location – or cancellation without notice.

For information about training camp events, including the Training Camp Kickoff Party, the Mayor's Ball Run, and Panther Pals, contact Laura Corbin, director of news services at Wofford College, at email@example.com or 864-597-4180.
Someone post that thread from floppin and his drunk adventure with the crack dealers last year lol
If it was all true that was an awesome story
haha- that was teh kurbz and myself (also my friend Russell) who sat there and listened to his story thinking, is this guy lying cuz if that's the truth how are you alive?!
to this guy----vvv psshhawww nothing beats the Beacon! I think I ate there 3 times last year- Salty and Kurbz know whatsup!
FWIW here are some suggestions for food and things:

Tuesday, August 7th, 6pm practice.....Im there!
In other news, the Beacon is over-rated.
OK, me, the wife and the 11 year old are going Saturday for the whole sha-bang. Is this inside their stadium facility where we have a place to sit or is this travel-baseball, bring your own shade type of deal? Don't roast me, I truly don't know.
In other news, the Beacon is over-rated.
The party is on the plaza of our stadium (Gibbs Stadium) and the practice is in the stadium, so seating is not a problem. You may want to bring an umbrella or wear a hat or visor, etc. as there will be sun on portions of the stadium, though by that time, the home side likely will be in the shade.

Make sure your kid has something to do. Most of the kids get bored when they realize the Panthers are playing against the Panthers. They just run around in packs and throw footballs in the grass.
Wait I thought they had that play 60 area setup?
Only the first Sunday and it's really far from the actual practice. You would need a wife or grandparent to chaperone while you enjoy practice.
