David rejoices in the deliverances God wrought for him. (1-19) He takes the comfort of his integrity, which God had cleared up. (20-28) He gives to God the glory of all his mighty deeds. (29-50)
Verses 1-19 The first words, "I will love thee, O Lord, my strength," are the scope and contents of the psalm. Those that truly love God, may triumph in him as their Rock and Refuge, and may with confidence call upon him. It is good for us to observe all the circumstances of a mercy which magnify the power of God and his goodness to us in it. David was a praying man, and God was found a prayer-hearing God. If we pray as he did, we shall speed as he did. God's manifestation of his presence is very fully described, ver. ( 7-15 ) . Little appeared of man, but much of God, in these deliverances. It is not possible to apply to the history of the son of Jesse those awful, majestic, and stupendous words which are used through this description of the Divine manifestation. Every part of so solemn a scene of terrors tells us, a greater than David is here. God will not only deliver his people out of their troubles in due time, but he will bear them up under their troubles in the mean time. Can we meditate on ver. 18, without directing one thought to Gethsemane and Calvary? Can we forget that it was in the hour of Christ's deepest calamity, when Judas betrayed, when his friends forsook, when the multitude derided him, and the smiles of his Father's love were withheld, that the powers of darkness prevented him? The sorrows of death surrounded him, in his distress he prayed, ( Hebrews 5:7 ) . God made the earth to shake and tremble, and the rocks to cleave, and brought him out, in his resurrection, because he delighted in him and in his undertaking.
Verses 20-28 Those that forsake the ways of the Lord, depart from their God. But though conscious to ourselves of many a false step, let there not be a wicked departure from our God. David kept his eye upon the rule of God's commands. Constant care to keep from that sin, whatever it be, which most easily besets us, proves that we are upright before God. Those who show mercy to others, even they need mercy. Those who are faithful to God, shall find him all that to them which he has promised to be. The words of the Lord are pure words, very sure to be depended on, and very sweet to be delighted in. Those who resist God, and walk contrary to him, shall find that he will walk contrary to them, ( Leviticus 26:21-24 ) . The gracious recompence of which David spoke, may generally be expected by those who act from right motives. Hence he speaks comfort to the humble, and terror to the proud; "Thou wilt bring down high looks." And he speaks encouragement to himself; "Thou wilt light my candle:" thou wilt revive and comfort my sorrowful spirit; thou wilt guide my way, that I may avoid the snares laid for me. Thou wilt light my candle to work by, and give me an opportunity of serving thee. Let those that walk in darkness, and labour under discouragements, take courage; God himself will be a Light to them.
Verses 29-50 When we praise for one mercy, we must observe the many more, with which we have been compassed all our days. Many things had contributed to David's advancement, and he owns the hand of God in them all, to teach us to do likewise. In verse Verse 32 , and the following verses, are the gifts of God to the spiritual warrior, whereby he is prepared for the contest, after the example of his victorious Leader. Learn that we must seek release being made through Christ, shall be rejected. In David the type, we behold out of trouble through Christ. The prayer put up, without reconciliation Jesus our Redeemer, conflicting with enemies, compassed with sorrows and with floods of ungodly men, enduring not only the pains of death, but the wrath of God for us; yet calling upon the Father with strong cries and tears; rescued from the grave; proceeding to reconcile, or to put under his feet all other enemies, till death, the last enemy, shall be destroyed. We should love the Lord, our Strength, and our Salvation; we should call on him in every trouble, and praise him for every deliverance; we should aim to walk with him in all righteousness and true holiness, keeping from sin. If we belong to him, he conquers and reigns for us, and we shall conquer and reign through him, and partake of the mercy of our anointed King, which is promised to all his seed for evermore. Amen.
Psalms 18:1-50 . "The servant of the LORD," which in the Hebrew precedes "David," is a significant part of the title (and not a mere epithet of David), denoting the inspired character of the song, as the production of one entrusted with the execution of God's will. He was not favored by God because he served Him, but served Him because selected and appointed by God in His sovereign mercy. After a general expression of praise and confidence in God for the future, David gives a sublimely poetical description of God's deliverance, which he characterizes as an illustration of God's justice to the innocent and His righteous government. His own prowess and success are celebrated as the results of divine aid, and, confident of its continuance, he closes in terms of triumphant praise. 2 Samuel 22:1-51 is a copy of this Psalm, with a few unimportant variations recorded there as a part of the history, and repeated here as part of a collection designed for permanent use.
1. I will love thee--with most tender affection.
2, 3. The various terms used describe God as an object of the most implicit and reliable trust.
rock--literally, "a cleft rock," for concealment.
strength--a firm, immovable rock.
horn of my salvation--The horn, as the means of attack or defense of some of the strongest animals, is a frequent emblem of power or strength efficiently exercised (compare Deuteronomy 33:17 , Luke 1:69 ).
tower--literally, "high place," beyond reach of danger.
3. to be praised--for past favors, and worthy of confidence.
4. sorrows--literally, "bands as of a net" ( Psalms 116:3 ).
floods--denotes "multitude."
5. death--and hell (compare Psalms 16:10 ) are personified as man's great enemies (compare Revelation 20:13 Revelation 20:14 ).
prevented--encountered me, crossed my path, and endangered my safety. He does not mean he was in their power.
6. He relates his methods to procure relief when distressed, and his success.
temple--(Compare Psalms 11:4 ).
7, 8. God's coming described in figures drawn from His appearance on Sinai (compare Deuteronomy 32:22 ).
8. smoke out . . . his nostrils--bitter in His wrath (compare Psalms 74:1 ).
by it--that is, the fire ( Exodus 19:18 ).
9. darkness--or, a dense cloud ( Exodus 19:16 , Deuteronomy 5:22 ).
10. cherub--angelic agents (compare Genesis 3:24 ), the figures of which were placed over the ark ( 1 Samuel 4:4 ), representing God's dwelling; used here to enhance the majesty of the divine advent. Angels and winds may represent all rational and irrational agencies of God's providence (compare Psalms 104:3 Psalms 104:4 ).
did fly--Rapidity of motion adds to the grandeur of the scene.
11. dark waters--or, clouds heavy with vapor.
12. Out of this obscurity, which impresses the beholder with awe and dread, He reveals Himself by sudden light and the means of His terrible wrath ( Joshua 10:11 , Psalms 78:47 ).
13. The storm breaks forth--thunder follows lightning, and hail with repeated lightning, as often seen, like balls or coals of fire, succeed ( Exodus 9:23 ).
14. The fiery brightness of lightning, in shape like burning arrows rapidly shot through the air, well represents the most terrible part of an awful storm. Before the terrors of such a scene the enemies are confounded and overthrown in dismay.
15. The tempest of the air is attended by appropriate results on earth. The language, though not expressive of any special physical changes, represents the utter subversion of the order of nature. Before such a God none can stand.
16-19. from above--As seated on a throne, directing these terrible scenes, God--
sent--His hand ( Psalms 144:7 ), reached down to His humble worshipper, and delivered him.
many waters--calamities ( Job 30:14 , Psalms 124:4 Psalms 124:5 ).
18. prevented--( Psalms 18:3 ).
19. a large place--denotes safety or relief, as contrasted with the straits of distress ( Psalms 4:1 ). All his deliverance is ascribed to God, and this sublime poetical representation is given to inspire the pious with confidence and the wicked with dread.
20-24. The statements of innocence, righteousness, &c., refer, doubtless, to his personal and official conduct and his purposes, during all the trials to which he was subjected in Saul's persecutions and Absalom's rebellions, as well as the various wars in which he had been engaged as the head and defender of God's Church and people.
23. upright before him--In my relation to God I have been perfect as to all parts of His law. The perfection does not relate to degree.
mine iniquity--perhaps the thought of his heart to kill Saul ( 1 Samuel 24:6 ). That David does not allude to all his conduct, in all relations, is evident from Psalms 51:1 , &c.
25-27. God renders to men according to their deeds in a penal, not vindictive, sense ( Leviticus 26:23 Leviticus 26:24 ).
merciful--or, "kind" ( Psalms 4:3 ).
26. froward--contrary to.
27. the afflicted people--that is, the humbly pious.
high looks--pride ( Psalms 101:5 , 131:1 ).
28. To give one light is to make prosperous ( Job 18:5 Job 18:6 , 21:17 ).
thou--is emphatic, as if to say, I can fully confide in Thee for help.
29. And this on past experience in his military life, set forth by these figures.
30-32. God's perfection is the source of his own, which has resulted from his trust on the one hand, and God's promised help on the other.
tried--"as metals are tried by fire and proved genuine" ( Psalms 12:6 ). Shield ( Psalms 3:3 ). Girding was essential to free motion on account of the looseness of Oriental dresses; hence it is an expressive figure for describing the gift of strength.
33-36. God's help farther described. He gives swiftness to pursue or elude his enemies ( Habakkuk 3:19 ), strength, protection, and a firm footing.
35. thy gentleness--as applied to God--condescension--or that which He gives, in the sense of humility (compare Proverbs 22:4 ).
36. enlarged my steps--made ample room (compare Proverbs 4:12 ).
37-41. In actual conflict, with God's aid, the defeat of his enemies is certain. A present and continued success is expressed.
39. that rose up against me--literally, "insurgents" ( Psalms 3:1 , 44:5 ).
40. given me the necks--literally, "backs of the necks"; made them retreat ( Exodus 23:27 , Joshua 7:8 ).
42. This conquest was complete.
43-45. Not only does He conquer civil foes, but foreigners, who are driven from their places of refuge.
44. submit, &c.--(compare Margin)--that is, show a forced subjection.
46. The Lord liveth--contrasts Him with idols ( 1 Corinthians 8:4 ).
47, 48. avengeth me--His cause is espoused by God as His own.
48. liftest me up--to safety and honors.
49, 50. Paul ( Romans 15:9 ) quotes from this doxology to show that under the Old Testament economy, others than the Jews were regarded as subjects of that spiritual government of which David was head, and in which character his deliverances and victories were typical of the more illustrious triumphs of David's greater Son. The language of Psalms 18:50 justifies this view in its distinct allusion to the great promise (compare 2 Samuel 7:12 ). In all David's successes he saw the pledges of a fulfilment of that promise, and he mourned in all his adversities, not only in view of his personal suffering, but because he saw in them evidences of danger to the great interests which were committed to his keeping. It is in these aspects of his character that we are led properly to appreciate the importance attached to his sorrows and sufferings, his joys and successes.

GREENVILLE, Ky. (3/10/14) – Much like the famous car "Greased Lightning" from the smash play and movie "Grease", this production of Grease just could not be stopped.
The play, presented by the Muhlenberg County High School Drama Department, complete with a cast of around 60, plus a live band, came off with all the talent and fast-paced professionalism of a Broadway production.
After the massive shuffling of show dates since the original scheduled show dates in mid-February, the play finally made it to the stage for two shows Saturday and a Sunday matinee.
Leslie England, director of the massive undertaking, refused to not let the show go on, even after the original show dates were snowed out in February.
By the time the play reached the stage this past weekend, there had been a total of 27 cancelled practices due to snow. A last minute change in the show dates allowed for some additional practices, and the cast never missed a beat.
In a special Note From the Director inside the production's program, England thanked and commended the cast and crew.
"Our students have faced long auditions, demanding rehearsals, snow days, cancelled rehearsals, tragedy, and finally, postponement of the show dates," England said. "Through it all, the cast has steadily worked through the tumultuous waves of emotions. It hasn't been easy. We dedicate this production to our friends who were victims of the tragic fire," England said, referring to the Watson family, who lost 9 family members on January 30.
England noted in the program that one of the children lost in the fire "was a drama student and an enthusiastic supporter of this production."
Although the play was school drama department production, the project turned into a true community effort, noted Martin Hall facility manager, David Probus in remarks to the audience before the play began.
"We truly could not have brought this play to this stage if not for so many people and businesses in the community," said Probus, who took on the huge task of being the show's producer.
Once the stage lights went up, the 1950s high school musical we all know and love never missed a beat. From the complex choreography, directed by Melanie Boggess, to realistic sets depicting Rydell High School, along with numerous sets, many rolled on and off the stage for various scenes.
From the opening song, "Summer Nights", the play featured non-stop, complex singing and dancing to the Grease classics. The play's groups, divided into the Pink Ladies and The "T" Birds, sang and danced for two hours, and never missed a beat.
The crowd seemed to love the many high points in the production. The effects of clouds and blinding light filling the stage as the Teen Angel, Thad Mayhugh, and the angel chorus, sang one of the shows many favorites, "Beauty School Dropout."
Jeff Dickenson, a long time supporter and participant in many live productions in the county over the years, appeared as DJ Vince Fontaine.
- The cast included Deanna Oglesby as Sandy Dumbrowski and Eli Meece as Danny Zuko
- The Pink Ladies included: Ciara Cobb, Mope Mohon, Victoria Martin, Harley Wood and Riki Pentecost.
- The "T" Birds included: Ryan Philips, Jacob Jones, Drake Skipworth, Joseph Povlak, and Phillpe Lefarth.
- Other main characters included Jonas Kober, Macey Mayes, Jason Scott, Cierra Lear, Lauren Todd, Alora Snodgrass, Calvin Davenport, Kyler Laycock and Lilly Tinsley.
- The live band included, Melanie Smith, conductor, Mason Smith, Ryan Jones, Donnie Johnson, Mark Woodall, Dan Duncan and Kirby Davis.
- The Assistant Director was Thad Mayhugh, Ron Corbin was the Supervisor of Set Design and Construction, Hannah Brown and Courtney McGehee were the Production Stage Managers,
- Scenic Artist was Teresa Heltsley, Sound Designers and Engineers were Brian and Megan Chaney, and the Lighting Engineer was Ethan Hafley

Albany (May 31, 2012) – Governor Cuomo should block a 45-percent toll increase proposed yesterday by the New York Thruway Authority because it will punish small trucking firms, farmers and consumers, said the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) today.
"There are a lot of short-haul truckers and farmers in New York who won't be able to absorb this increase without raising prices, cutting workers or spending less in the economy," said Mike Durant, State Director for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).
Another concern, according to Durant, is that the massive increase apparently won't be used for the replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which officials say will be financed another way.
"At the very least, we deserve to know more about how they're going to finance the bridge project, which will cost billions, before we approve this increase," said Durant. "Otherwise they'll be back again next year asking for another huge increase that small businesses, consumers and commuters can't afford."
He pointed out that motorists and truckers are likely to try to avoid the higher tolls by using local roads instead.
"That creates more traffic, more pollution and more pressure on property taxes to repair local roads that aren't designed for the weight of the trucks and volume of traffic," said Durant. "The Governor should analyze this very carefully and work with the Authority to find another way to pay for improvements."
For more information about NFIB, please visit www.nfib.com/new_york.

SKU:673.280 | Cobalt LEATHER
8 Review(s) | Write a Review
If you're still carrying your iPad around without anything to hold it, you're taking the risk of it getting scratched up or permanently damaged. Don't take that risk for another day! Protect it with our Slim iPad Jacket and you'll have nothing to worry about.Made with genuine leather, this case keeps it simple but still has handy features to make using your iPad as easy as possible. For example, the stand on the back makes it easy to position your tablet for watching movies or reading. We also include a camera opening so you don't have to take it out of the case to take a picture. Designed for the iPad 3 but made to fit all models, our Slim iPad Jacket is the easiest way to protect your iPad at all times!
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
My wife loved the color, in her color palette as she would say. Leatherology's products are durable, great quality, and the leather aroma is exquisite. I've been shopping their products, for years as gifts for others and for myself i.e. wallets with my initials and same for the gifts. Many thanks for being here on the web and I'll continue shopping for as long you're around.
Very nice product, and excellent quality leather. Prompt and efficient shipping.
was happy to find a case that fit my ipad2. I love the slim and sleek design, and the monogram looks great.
This is my second review of the iPad case I have had for a few months now. It doesn't have an Auto on/off with the cover open or closed. 200 hundred words telling my how great the leather is; what about function?
I am replacing a Bear part-leather case that only set me back $30. It gave me good service. It did everything I expected, but just wore out. I replace it with the slim iPad case and I am disappointed with the utility of the case. It's nicely finished, but because of the design of the flap, it won't stand up. Maybe this is why it was on sale? Nice finish, bad design...
First rate product, as well as excellent product
I love this iPad jacket. It is everything the ad promised-and even more. The styling is elegant, the leather top notch, and the embossing impressive. I bought the Cognac color, and it is a rich golden brown. It holds my iPad securely and was a breeze to fit it in. Shipping took much less time than anticipated, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting quality leather goods.
Love this case--was so happy to find one that fits my "old" IPad "one". High quality material, easy to flip over and stand. Great color (I got the yellow). Only problem is that the opening for the charging port does not line up quite right with the IPad. This makes charging my IPad a bit challenging (re: I have to slip out of the case). I have tried to stretch the leather a bit to accomodate the hole, but it is just off a fraction. Maybe with time it will stretch more.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've missed blogging during this transition and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little skeptical of all the changes (then again, change is inevitable except from vending machines) so if you see some weirdness in the text/format/anything else you can think of, bear with me, will you?
I am not bearing with the Giants. Well, I sort of am. I'm sorely tempted to say that the world is ending, but that isn't until May 21st, so I'm giving them at least until then.
Firstly, what is up with Ubaldo? I have people in my family who are huge Ubaldo fans and after reading an article about him where he talked about his mother's cooking in SI, I was kind of converted. I know he's our NL West rival and everything, but I'm really genuinely curious what's wrong with him. I mean, he allowed three runs of seven innings today, so he was better, but he just doesn't look like he's in first half 2010 form. Any theories? I've heard everything from Where's the closest psych ward? (unfair) to His mechanics are profoundly messed (probably an overreaction).
Anyhow. The important stuff from this game:
DeRosa. J-Sanch. Bochy. Burrell. And Belt. Perhaps. (Are there direct flights from Fresno to Denver? I'm checking my totally great Expedia app.)
DeRosa has been displaying a profound lack of ability to hit and though I'm sure that's misleading and he's an awesome baseball player (okay, I'm not sure. Not even close to sure.) is there really time for that? He has the Best Accent In Baseball. There's tons of voiceover work out there. Where they don't care if you have a creepy sounding wrist thing going on (wrist phobic person, here).
J-Sanch. Well, he hit. More doubles than Buster on the year. And this one is interrelated to Bochy because it's the second day in a row that he left in a starter "too long". Granted, they were different situations. But I'm inclined to take that as a lack of bullpen faith, which is understandable to a point. But then the point ends, you know?
Burrell. Sort of smacked himself into that outfield picture, huh? You probably know I'm not much of a Burrell fan, but he makes more sense as a starting player than late inning replacement, I think. Just like Vogelsong makes more sense in the bullpen, simply because Zito can't. I don't think either are lesser roles, really. Just different and some people can't deal with or perform in one or the other.
And then Belt. Can we say, "This changes everything. Again." right about now?
Because it does.
They aren't winning.
And he just scored all of the Grizzlies five runs in a game.
Steve Jobs, wanna help?
Jon Daniels did a live chat today, by the way, and someone named Chuck kept asking questions. I have an (irrational? Yes.) theory that it was Chuck Greenberg who is bitter about being pushed out of the organization and is stalking JD and Nolan. Is that unfair as well as irrational? Don't tell me. I already know the answers.
I need to get to bed early tonight in preparation for my rockin' party tomorrow in honor of my One Year Blogging Anniversary. Read: desserts and a long blog post. Nobody really wants to party with me about a geeky baseball blog.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Trivia time! Does anyone know the Giants Low A Ball affiliate? City and team name? I just found out today.
The Augusta GreenJackets (Augusta, Georgia, that is). Who knew?

John Rommereim, director
Visit For Audition Information
The Grinnell Singers are a group of people who are highly diverse in terms of their backgrounds, interests, and talents, but who are united in their love of singing and their dedication to the choral art. They perform music from an extremely wide variety of traditions and locales, -- from Brahms to Bluegrass, from Renaissance England to twenty-first century New York. The ensemble tours each spring, and overall, the focal point of the year lies in the preparation for these high-visibility off-campus performances. The Singers have completed tours to Finland, Estonia, Russia, the Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Last year's tour took them into Canada, with concerts in Chicago, Ann Arbor, Toronto, and Montreal, culminating in a concert at Boston University. They have produced two recordings, a CD of the complete All-Night Vigil by Rachmaninov (hailed for its "consummate artistry" by Iowa Public Radio host Kurt Snook), and Seeking After that Sweet Golden Clime, a varied collection with Jonathan Dove's The Passing of the Year as its centerpiece. They have been honored with two ACDA convention invitations. This year's tour will take them to California during spring break; they will start with a concert in Des Moines, and then travel to California to perform concerts in San Francisco, Lafayette, San Louis Obispo, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Following the tour, in April, the Grinnell Singers will host a distinguished guest conductor, Scott Jarrett, from Boston University, who will share his insights into choral performance over the course of a week-long residency with the ensemble, and he will conduct the group in a public concert. In May, we will be hosting the innovative, Pulitzer Prize-winning a cappella ensemble, A Roomful Of Teeth.
New Chamber Ensemble
We are trying out a several new initiatives year as a way to expand our work and to remain responsive to current student needs. The rehearsal schedule has been changed: We will be meeting Tuesdays 4:30-6:00 pm, Thursdays 7:00-8:30 pm, and Sundays 4:00-5:30 pm. We will also be forming a new chamber ensemble that is a subset of the full ensemble. We will be holding auditions for the Grinnell Singers during the first few days of the fall semester, during which all returning members will be required to audition. As part of these auditions, we will be selecting a small vocal ensemble of eight to twelve singers. All the members of this new ensemble will also be members of the Grinnell Singers. This ensemble is intended to be a highly select group, and they will be called upon to perform at a variety of public events on and off the campus. They will accompany the Grinnell Singers on their spring-break concert tour to California. The new ensemble, (name TBA) will rehearse once a week, and this rehearsal will replace one of the Grinnell Singers' three weekly rehearsals. The general nature of this group will be modeled on the ensemble that will be visiting Grinnell in the spring of 2014, A Roomful of Teeth. The new chamber ensemble will pursue a wide variety of musical styles, time periods, and genres, including music outside of the Western-European tradition. The ensemble will also explore extended vocal technique and interaction with electronic media, and they will sometimes perform with amplification. All current Grinnell students are encouraged to audition.
Curd Ensemble Scholarships
On the basis of the fall auditions, eight students will be selected as Grinnell Singers Curd Ensemble Scholarship recipients. These eight students will receive a 100% scholarship for voice lessons in both semesters. The purpose of the scholarship is two-fold: to help members of the ensemble to hone their skills through private study. and to support individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to the ensemble, and who are capable of making a strong positive impact on the group.
Notes on the repertoire from the director
We have a distinguished collection of carefully chosen works lined up for this year. Here are just a few highlights:
• "A esde sol peregrine" by Tomas de Torrejon y Velasco – An up-tempo tuneful, rhythmical piece from 16th-century Peru, sung with guitar accompaniment
• "In pace" by John Sheppard -- a serene, gorgeous piece of English renaissance polyphony.
• "Kai-isa Niyan" by Nilo Alcala II – based on Maguindanaoan children's game. This piece was a real revelation for me. I can't wait to get started on it. I'm thrilled to have encountered the music of this brilliant young composer from the Philippines.
• "Adoramus te Christe " by Claudio Montervdi – wonderfully rich, full harmonies
• "Nunc dimittis" by Arvo Part – haunting, austere; one of Pärt's finest works
• "Bright Hour Delayed" by Ingram Marshall. -- a work that reinterprets early American music using digital delay. We are performing "the analog version" of Marshall's score, in Suzanne Hatcher's arrangement.
• "Carol" from Sacred and Profane, by Benjamin Britten We'll sing this beautiful piece on November 22, the 100th anniversary of Britten's birth, and St. Cecilia's Day, the Patron Saint of Music
• "Wade in the Water" by Alan Koepke. A rousing and inventive Spiritual arrangement
This year, we will be creating a chamber choir that will be an extension of the Grinnell Singers. All the members of the Chamber Choir will be members of the Grinnell Singers. A few selections lined up for the Chamber choir:
• "Canta! Guido," by Lopez Gavilan, -- a highly rhythmical piece from Cuba
• "La Guerre" by Clement Janequin – a fabulous piece of mouth music from 16th-centuryFrance. A real tour-de-force! Sort of a Renaissance version of Rockapella.
• "Rondo a la Turk" by Dave Brubeck, arranged by Ward Swingle
The Grinnell Singers and Student Composers
The ensemble regularly performs works by its members, and a number of students in the ensemble have gone on to careers as composers. We were proud to see that a work by Grinnell Singers alum Jisoo Ben Kim '08, for example, was performed by the Los Angeles Master Chorale.. The Grinnell Singers premiered this work while Ben was a student at Grinnell; the Grinnell Singers recording helped to facilitate the publication of this piece with Earthsongs. The Singers also performed Ben Kim's beautiful work "Veni Sancte Spiritus" with great success on their 2013 concert tour, as well as a work by 2012-13 Composer-In Residence, Michael Maiorana '12. In previous years, the ensemble has commissioned several major composers. In 2006, the Singers commissioned an extended ork from the 2005 Pulitzer Award winner, Steven Stucky. The Grinnell Singers received a grant from the Meet the Composers foundation for this commission, in a consortium of professional choirs that included the Kansas City Chorale, the Phoenix Bach Choir, and the Seattle Pro Musica. The Grinnell Singers' 2012 season featured the premiere of a commissioned work, "Anything Can Happen," by Mohammed Fairouz. In pursuing this project, the ensemble formed a consortium with three of the country's most distinguished choirs: the Back Bay Chorale and the Marsh Chapel Choir of Boston, Scott Jarrett, Conductor, and Cantori New York, Mark Shapiro, Conductor. An Iowa Public Radio piece on this commission project is available in streaming audio. The entire work can also be viewed on You Tube
More on the Grinnell Singers
In 1994 and 2002, the Grinnell Singers were honored with invitations to regional ACDA conventions. In 2000, the choir traveled to Helsinki, Turku, Talinn, St. Petersburg, Prague, and Brno in a tour that included a full cappella program, as well as another separate concert of Beethoven's Mass in C and the premiere of John Rommereim's Utopia with the Prague Radio Orchestra. In 2006, they completed a concert tour of Romania, Bulgaria, again with an a cappella program as well as a separate choral/orchestral program of Mozart's Grand Mass in C Minor. In April of 2011, the Grinnell Singers worked with the renowned conductor Simon Carrington during a week-long residency, culminating in a conducting master class and concert. In May, 2011, they completed a recording titled "Seeking After that Sweet Golden Clime," which was released in 2012. In the spring of 2012, the Grinnell Singers participated in performances of Sacred Concerts, a remarkable work by the great jazz master, Duke Ellington, in collaboration with the Grinnell Jazz Ensemble. In the 2012-13 season, they continued this exploration of works that blur the lines between traditions, as they presented The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass, by Carol Barnett, in collaboration with an outstanding string band from Minneapolis, Monroe Crossing.

Though many folks would love to see character cards from some the greatest games out there I'd love to see more fresh content from UFS. Though I'm new to the game I've preferred the games characters over popular licensed ones. Don't get me wrong I still love the licenses considering I'm working on a Soiree deck but I want to see some more sets like Shadowar. Speaking of ShadoWar, I wanted to get some of the veterans opinion on the set and how they liked UFS' first shot at individual IP and should they continue the good work?
Shadowar's Success and more potential original content.

SCIV has better chase stuff i think and people around here are buying more of that than SW... but in general I LIKE SW about as much as I like SCIV (intellectual propety-ly speaking).

Which honestly doesn't say a lot considering you've never really shown a lot of love to the licensed IP. ;p
Posted 29 May 2009 - 03:34 PM
You saying that what i was saying doesn't say a lot doesnt' really say a lot either... what was the point of that post? (though in hindsight... what ws the point of MY post?).
Oh right.
I like the feel and environment and general background and costume designs of SW as much as I like SCIVs. Yes I know, none of you know what I feel about SCIV. I like it more than Tekken and SNK (SS is just a bit above KoF... maybe a bit more than Tekken.. maybe tied.. IDK). Darkstalkers is my number two. Number one is and always will be SF. Oh and PA. If the sets were legal and any good anymore and if they weren't just battle packs (crosses fingers).
So in ranked order of that certain je ne sais pas of liscences
SF > PA > DS > SCIV/III - SW > Tekken - SS > KoF
... Is that saying enough Homme?

For some reason, I feel that with Shadowar's success, we might be seeing less and less liceases stuff... which makes me sad since block 4 is coming next year and that will remove most of the Street fighter guys.... remake?!?!?! =D
Posted 03 June 2009 - 11:51 AM
ShadoWar is exactly what I said it would be when it was first announced. Not that I'm taking credit for it, lol. I just said it would have necessary cards/answers that would be make it so you felt you had to get it, regardless of how you felt about the character's look/story.
My friends and I got into UFS for the licenses, specifically SF and SC as those were the only 2 back in the day (other than a one-time only PA battle box). I've always wanted the game to stay pure, but knew it wouldn't. I will say that SW is not AS bad as I thought it would be, but it's still very bland and I couldn't care less about any of these characters. Was it successful? Financially it couldn't really fail; it didn't cost anything in licensing fees.
Long story short if I wanted to play a fantasy-type card game, I'd play Magic (which I have no intention of doing). Give me Ken, Ivy, Iori, Morrigan, Hwaorang, and Rera and I'll be just fine.
Posted 03 June 2009 - 12:36 PM
I'm not a big fan either. Not interested in the characters at all, and would've liked to see some of the tech included in the set in different properties instead but more cards per set is probably more expensive not just from a production standpoint but also in terms of costs to the property owner. So many cooler characters exist in the other properties, I'm just not interested in generic viking or whatever else. In any case I bought some, but am not a fan and unless they start including the must have staple cards for top tier decks in future Shadowar sets, I won't buy any, or will probably resort to buying specific cards online instead.
Posted 07 June 2009 - 09:15 AM
Soul calibur is still the only licence I know and, despite now owning SC3, the huge changes between SC2 (which I loved) and SC3 (which could've been better) put me off that quite a bit. Thefact that lizardman totally changed between the 2 games totally destroyed him for me and may well have been part of what made me give up UFS (lizardman was my favourite SC2 character too).
as such, licences meant little to me, as I knew that the one licence I really wanted would never make it.
That said, shadowar is just a generic fighting game in terms of it's characters and story and that really doesn't do it for me.
If I wanted a generic fighting game story I'd get the streetfighter manga or read up on tekken online (atleast tekken has tiger heads, misnamed dragons and aliens whose storyline is inconsistant). this rubbish seems pointless to me.

Main website, there's a couple of articles on it and the character biographies.
Honestly, ShadoWar, in terms of storyline and content, has done nothing but underwhelm me so far. Not that the other licenses have much there, too, but at least there's an entertaining product other than UFS that they're tied to.
Posted 14 June 2009 - 07:51 AM
Shadowar is so unappealing at the moment. It looks like it belongs in the Magic gaming era and not the UFS scene. Except Zi Mei, shes ok in my book!
Posted 23 June 2009 - 11:36 AM
Well, in terms of story I also find it a "little" lacking but I enjoyed seeing FFG's own content. I think they could use individual content after so many other licenses for a break. I personally feel that it'd be cool to receive stuff like this atleast yearly.
Posted 23 June 2009 - 03:30 PM
I think it looks good... looks better than Tekken 6 stuff (from onlin pics i've seen) or SF really... (as far as 'feel' and 'consistency' and texture and taste, and "je ne sais pas")
Posted 26 June 2009 - 04:36 AM
I thought ShadoWar was decent, although I only picked it up because I was compelled to by some of the other people in my area who play. I guess it just seems random to throw in characters we've never heard of, in a game that owes a lot of its success to the strength of the IP's involved. But that's me! I in no way mean to bash those who loved ShadoWar.
Posted 05 July 2009 - 07:43 AM
I think Shadowar kind of goes against what UFS stands for. It doesnt answer the question "who would beat who in a cross video game match up?" To be fair, the Penny Arcade set, the founding set, didnt answer that either. However, the majority of players have never had access to that set anyway.
Personally I would like to see more licenses, preferably Guilty Gear, before I see anymore original content.

You got a point there, I constantly forget about the original theme of UFS as a mix-up of various fighting games. I was just looking at the difficulty of obtaining licenses from other franchises and the pains they bring with them. I want to see more than JUST the latest version of Ryu or Terry Bogard, of course we haven't had that problem too often but perhaps we could get characters from martial arts based anime as well. In the end though, I still stand by the thought that UFS deserves some IP though it could be a little more better than shadowar.

TBH, i'm not sure just how much of a success ShadoWar has been. I can only give my opinion, and account from what i've seen at a couple play-groups i've had the chance to play with...
Personally, i like ShadoWar. I like the concept, and i like the characters. I think the main problem/challenge that ShadoWar faces is that nobody CARES about the characters themselves. Written bios are a good first step, as are the 2 short-stories. I think FFG needs to look at getting this game out there in as many various forms as possible: Comic Books and novelizations are the next step, imo. Perhaps even Video Games.
The basic premise is still there in ShadoWar, it's just done with characters no one has ever heard of before, and so has no attachment to them...unless, say, you're a hardcore Wuxia fan (like me) and recognize Zi Mei as being the Bride with White Hair, and Lu Chen as being White Eye Brow. I'm still waiting for them to remake Hattori Hanzo, although in retrospect, SNK already has done that...Big Viking Dude (or, Ragnar as he's called in-game) is Beowulf...and so on, and so on...
There are some cards from ShadoWar that i'm starting to see being played more frequently: Always in Motion, Pommel Smash, Zi Mei's Wheel Kick, The Execution Rites, Fury of the Ancients (okay, i guess by now we all gather that Zi Mei's support is ridiculous!), Calming the Mind, Master's Challenge (Felicia players did backflips when they saw this card...i know, i was there), to name a few...
I am looking forward to seeing more content from ShadoWar, and seeing how FFG tries to connect us better and actually care about the characters that are within this fantastic world.
Posted 10 November 2009 - 02:05 PM
ShadoWar has always been a love or hate thing.
Some like it because it is very original.
Many hate it because it is a property which in turn becomes a set, which in turn takes a set away from the video game licenses we all love. For example, right now we only have SoulCaliber, ShadoWar, and Tekken. The majority of players would rather see a Street Fighter set or SNK set instead of ShadoWar. They know and love their Street Fighter/SNK characters. These ShadoWar dudes just popped up.
The problem with ShadoWar is that the characters aren't very interesting at all. You do have the bios, but nothing else. How does a regular audience get to know ShadoWar? They can't just do an online promotion of something nobody is interested in - it'd be a waste.
0 ppl knew of ShadoWar before it came out.
Millions know about Street Fighter, SoulCaliber, Tekken, SNK, and Darkstalkers.
Posted 12 November 2009 - 09:22 AM
maybe im one of the few that "doesnt care".
I am an avid capcom fan. I have never been a SNK fan. SW is neutral to me. I look at the text and artwork on a card and to me thats more important than the backstory (at least for cards that i am unfamiliar with their history).
I guess i am saying i favor SF over everyone else, SNK on the bottom, and others wether its SCIV, SW, whatever in a mid tier for me, lol.

So you're thinking of traveling to Kauai?
Photo of Kauai, Hawaii courtesy of http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimg944/114874183
The oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, yet the least developed, this is the Hawaii you will see in most movies and TV shows. The Na Pali coastline was made famous by the film, Jurassic Park, and is even more beautiful when seen up close.
Planning A Trip To Kauai
There are a large number of flights to the island, both from the mainland and from the other islands. You can catch direct flights to the island, instead of one with a layover in Oahu, as well.
Since there are no buildings taller than 40 stories in Kauai, there aren't massive resorts as there are on the other islands, but there is an excellent selection of smaller hotels in all price ranges. You can choose a resort, a hotel, or even a B&B, as there is a huge variety of places to stay.
The only important thing to do is plan your activities before you book your accommodation, because even though the island is small, you could end up spending hours on the road every day if you choose a hotel that is far from the beaches you want to visit. The northern side of the island gets significantly more rain than the southern, even though there is a ton to do even when it rains. Still, for those people who want to spend their holiday lazing in the sun, it is best to do some research on the layout of the island before booking a hotel.
Most of the roads on Kauai are adjacent to the coast, with very few roads leading inland. There are many beaches along the coast, but some are inaccessible by road and only adventurous hikers can get to them. You can also see the beautiful Na Pali coastline with its sheer cliffs by hike.
Photo of beautiful sunset over Kauai courtesy of http://www.flickr.com/photos/49814332@N04/6900197895
While serious hikers can hike the 11 mile Kalalau Trail trail in 2-3 days, not everyone is up for that, which is why you can also book a helicopter ride. For beach lovers, there are still many beaches that are completely accessible by road and many fun activities that can be planned in advance – like scuba diving and snorkeling. It is also possible to go see the museums, and sightseeing spots scattered throughout the island, as well as drive to the top of the Na Pali cliffs for a gorgeous vista.
As you can see, the activities in Na Pali vary greatly. That is why it is best to decide the activities first, and then book your accommodation. There's really so much to do on the island! Even the locals who have been there for years haven't seen every part of the island for it's diversity of fun activities and leisure area abundant beyond description!

Any word on if these will be FM1 compatible ?
or will they be transitioning to ddr4 for these in a new platform ? Reply -

They will use Socket FM2. Both Komodo and Trinity will use the same CPU socket format. Their differences will be the chipsets and memory controllers for their specific markets. (Performance/Enthusiast and Mainstream respectively).
Trinity will re-use Llano's (current A-series) chipsets with minor tweaks and new features.
DDR4 is a few years away from being mass produced and affordable. DDR3 will still be used in AMD's 2012 lines.
The 50% increase in gigaflop performance; they're talking about GPGPU performance. Reply -

So that would make the next-generation Fusion GPU approximately at the level of HD 6700 I guess. That's a lot faster than Intel's current HD 3000, but I'm still waiting to get at least 800 shader cores in an APU. Reply -
DanNeely - Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - link
I suspect memory bottlenecking would make that many shaders futile. The current 400 shader parts fell behind their dedicated card equivalents. The 4850 has ~2x the bandwidth of dual channel DDR3-2133, the 5770/6770 2.5x, and the 4870 4x. Reply -
iamezza - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - link
The current gen is already memory bandwidth limited so if it is 50% faster it will need 50% more bandwidth, which means tri-channel DDR3 1600.
AMD could probably put something on there 4x faster if they wanted but where would the memory bandwidth come from? Reply -
MonkeyPaw - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - link
I'm thinking quad channel memory. Even then, it is a 256bit memory bus sharing time with the CPU. If the cache is shared in the APU, or we get a ring bus, then I think it will be quite potent. Reply -
DanNeely - Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - link
Nope, too expensive to implement in hardware due to the extra space needed on the mobo; it's almost certainly still going to be a dual channel design. The 50% GPGpu performance gain is almost certainly limited to apps that have low memory demands; graphics performance gains will be smaller because the bottle neck will bite harder. Reply -
Arnulf - Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - link
Or, this could infact be a result of more efficient GPU data caching (along the lines of what Intel did in SB), requiring less memory bandwidth. Reply -
rocketbuddha - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - link
Per the Slide
The CPU part of Trinity is "Piledriver"
The GPU part of Trinity is "Radeon HD7000"
The APU is still TRINITY only. Reply -

Wow, this is news, so your saying after the HD6000 series comes the HD7000 series???
OMG, you guys delivered again Anandtech, how do you guys find out such reclusive information??
LOL Reply -

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and give my hypothesis.
Here goes. I think Nvidia's next graphics card will be the GTX600 series!!! Reply -
Eldoen - Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - link
Your probably correct in that assessment where you were wrong though was, Trinity as recently as last months computex the gpu portion was described as a Dx 11 current generation. So the news is, Trinity now will be a 7xxx based gpu not a 6xxx gpu on the APU. Reply

The Lady Statesmen didn't have much trouble as they disposed of the Selma University Lady Bulldogs 99-37 to open their basketball season. The 99 points were the highest total DSU has had in a game since Jan. 3, 2011 when DSU defeated Lambuth 100-57.
The Lady Statesmen (1-0) scored eight unanswered points to start the game and never looked back. At halftime, DSU had a commanding 51-18 lead and just kept adding on in the second half.
The Lady Bulldogs were held to just 19 percent (11-of-58) shooting from the floor, while the Lady Statesmen shot 45.3 percent (34-of-75) in the field. DSU also out rebounded Selma 73-35. A total of 10 players for DSU played at least 13 minutes with each of those players scoring at least two points each.
Freshman guard Chelsey Rhodes led the Lady Statesmen with 17 points, five steals and four assists, followed by freshman guard Juqecia Chancey with 16 points, freshman center Becca Ruckes with 16 points and 15 rebounds, sophomore center Seneca Walton with 13 points and six rebounds, senior guard Brittany Roberts with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists, sophomore guard Rhandi Ball with seven points, six rebounds and five assists, junior guard Brooke Rhodes with seven points, five rebounds and two steals and freshman forward Ashley Brown with five points and nine rebounds.
Crystal Turk and Mercedes Scott led the Lady Bulldogs (0-1) with 11 points each.
Delta State will return to the basketball court on Friday when the team hits the road to Jackson, Tenn. to play No. 10 Clayton State University in the Union University Classic at 5 p.m.

I'm a big fan of scrambled eggs and omelets, but the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in eggs scares me away from eating these breakfast foods too often. Since I've been looking to switch up my morning routine, though, I went to the grocery store to get some Better'n Eggs Original flavor (egg whites) to try; I've used these (and Egg Beaters Egg Whites) before in recipes, but I've never tried them on their own. I picked up a 3-pack of 4-ounce cups (12 ounces total) "reduced for quick sale" for the reasonable price of $1.99.
I turned on my skillet when I got home, and poured in one 4-ounce cup of the Better 'n Eggs to scramble. I noticed that the product was somewhat thinner than real eggs, and it made scrambled eggs that were more liquid than normal. The egg product also did a weird separating thing where it looked like the fat/ oil separated from the rest of the product. The taste was a little bit off too - it lacked the rich yolky flavor of real eggs, which was very disappointing for me. I just didn't like it by itself - mixed up in some Mexican Scrambled Eggs ... maybe.
Better'n Eggs does have some things going for it. Each 1/4 cup serving, the equivalent of one egg, has just 30 calories, no fat, no cholesterol, 120 mg of sodium, 6 grams of protein. It also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals (including 10% of the RDA for calcium).
Pros: Convenient (both for omelets and for baking), healthy.
Cons: More expensive than a carton of eggs; slightly strange tasting.
Overall: I'll continue to buy this product sporadically for baking and quick fixes, but I'll stick to real eggs for most of my needs. After all, you can't soft boil egg substitutes!

I received my shipping notice for Nov's figures yesterday. And low and behold the costs for all three figures were combined again this month and actually went through okay! I mean that slightly tongue in cheek, as I've really only had difficulty with charges last month, but it's fun to poke a big ol' stick at DR.
Harken the coming of Dragstor!!
Earliest my shipping notice has arrived too!! Good times!! First CG and now actually shipping on time! Things are looking great for MOTUC right now!
Got mine, gotta wait until next week though...Maine is so far from CA.

Someone once told me that if I had this, that I'd never play Lost Cities again. Do you think that's true? Is it a replacement? And better?
vs. Lost Cities
Posted 11 November 2010 - 12:58 AM
Posted 02 December 2010 - 09:15 PM
For me they have nothing in common except that you place cards besides a board.
Posted 03 December 2010 - 01:35 AM
I own both. While I would say that I personally would prefer to play Blue Moon if it was only one or the other, I would also say that I'd be happy to play either game with a willing opponent.
Within a single gaming session, I might find myself wanting to move on after playing a few rounds of Lost Cities. However, with Blue Moon, if it starts to feel repetitive, I can just swap decks with my opponent and instantly the game feels refreshed. If you can the get a hold of other decks outside the base game, then the combinations of matchups can really keep a session going for a while without feeling too stale.
So I don't believe that Blue Moon is a "replacement" for Lost Cities. I just believe that Blue Moon has more replayability.

Release Date: Friday, April 29, 2011
Download MP3
by Erica PetersonWest Virginia Public Broadcasting
College students across WV are preparing for commencement soon. Many of them take the more traditional path of graduating within four years. Some take five or six, but a significant percentage of students at one university are on the fast-track to graduation.
This weekend, the University of Charleston holds its spring commencement ceremony. Graduates will don caps and gowns, process down the aisle and receive their diplomas. This year, nearly a quarter of the students in the graduating class have finished their college education in less than four years.
Twenty-year-old Aaron Souza is one of those students. He's graduating with degrees in accounting and business administration.
"That was actually one of the deciding factors in me coming to this school, was I had researched it and found out I could get my degree in three years, and at this point I'm actually going to be getting two degrees in that time," he said.
Students at any college can hypothetically graduate in three years if they fulfill their graduation requirements. But the University of Charleston is one of a handful of schools that offers a specific plan for students to graduate early. The curriculum relies on assessment in six areas–what the university calls its Liberal Learning Outcomes.
"Outcomes-based education is an effort to identify what students need to know and what they need to be able to do in order to graduate," said University President Ed Welch. "So the focus is on student learning and the demonstration of that learning rather than the focus being on what the faculty member does, what the institution teaches. So in a way it inverts the whole process and I think put the emphasis where it ought to be: are the students who graduate prepared to graduate?"
UC's system allows students to get credit for demonstrating their proficiency in subject areas without necessarily taking the classes. For instance, the school doesn't offer English 101. Instead, students meet writing requirements through classes in their major.
Kari McFann has been at UC for three years. She's graduating this weekend, too, and hasn't had to take any classes during the summer.
"I think the minimum I've taken a semester—besides this semester, because I only had a few classes left to take—was 18 hours," she said. "Some semesters I took 25, I think one semester I even took 27. That's what's really great about the University of Charleston: you don't get charged extra for taking more classes."
The concept of a three-year plan is picking up steam in the United States, but it's not yet common. Critics worry students are sacrificing quality for quantity, and are missing out on some of the tenants of a liberal arts education by choosing a fast track. President Welch says he thinks those concerns are unfounded.
"There are more schools starting to consider the option," he said. "I wouldn't say more and more, it is not a national fad at this point. And there are still many people in the liberal arts area that say that we shouldn't do it because they're focusing on some cultural experience that you have over a period of time. As I said, I don't think there's a lot of evidence to suggest that really happens, but it is still the belief that some people have."
McFann says she regrets not being able to participate in as many activities in college—but in retrospect she's still glad she's finishing early.
"I know I have several friends who are athletes and none of them could have ever graduated in three years and be an athlete," she said.
"So it does take up a lot of your time but if you're dedicated to it, and if you know going into things that you're going to have to be dedicated, you're going to have to dedicate more hours to studying that you would normally, then I think it's okay. I think it really works out."
For both Kari McFann and Aaron Souza, their decision translates to getting a jump on the job market. Souza will start as an investment accountant at the West Virginia Investment Management Board in May, and McFann will attend law school at Capital University in Ohio.

'Hockey is back' and fans and businesses are cheering
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff email@example.com January 7, 2013 2:13AM
Hockey fans react on the fact that the NHL and the NHL Players have come to terms on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement, which will tentatively end the lockout and allow the league to resume regular operations. George Lemperis, owner of the Palace Grill in Chicago is very happy on Sunday, January 6, 2013. . | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Updated: February 8, 2013 6:21AM
Yes, many Blackhawks fans conceded Sunday, the salvaged but shortened hockey season following a four-month lockout may be marked by rusty play, an asterisk and a lull in the organization's juggernaut momentum, but mostly, they're just happy hockey is finally coming back.
"I'm very, very happy," said Bob Gertenrich, 66, who hasn't missed a Hawks game since Jan. 23, 1966.
"This was the second lockout in eight years; it never should have come to this. I didn't want to miss the whole year. I'm a bachelor; I look forward to going these games," said Gertenrich, who's retired and lives in Skokie.
Gertenrich attended a game in 1991 on the day his mother passed away because he didn't want to sit around his house and sulk, and a few years ago he scheduled foot surgery for when his team was on road trip.
"I'm really worried about the level of play being sloppy from so much time off," he said.
But the hiatus won't hurt the game, he said: "Hockey is solid in Chicago. The fans are solid."
A lockout-ending deal between players and owners still needs to be ratified this week.
Retired mailman Jerry Silar summed it up nicely: "It's about time."
Silar, 69, dusted off and donned his red Jonathan Toews Blackhawks jersey Sunday.
"The fans still love hockey," Silar said while sipping a beer at the CrossRoads tavern just east of the United Center. "Some are saying they'll stay away, that the lockout has left them with a bad taste in their mouth. But they won't be able to stay away, they'll come back."
Seated at the next bar stool, Hawks fan John Dastice chimed in: "It was a slow, boring winter without hockey."
Steve Blonsky, who sat around a table Sunday at the West End tavern down the block after playing hockey in a men's league game at Johnny's Ice House on West Madison, made his opinion clear: "We just want to watch hockey. That's it."
His teammates backed him up.
"A little season is better than no season," said Brett Naugle, 32. "But the NHL shot themselves in the foot with this lockout. They had been gaining a lot of traction in terms of popularity."
For George Lemperis, news of the lockout's end was "pure ecstasy."
"Fans will come back in droves. If they'd lost the season, that might now be true," said Lemperis, owner of the Palace Grill, a West Loop hangout for Hawks fans and players.
His business, along with dozens of others in the neighborhood, was hurting without the game-day foot traffic of Hawks fans.
Seated nearby eating a breakfast skillet, Thomas Owens, 34, said he was excited for the hockey season, but thinks a drop in ticket prices would be a nice gesture for starved fans — and a playoff berth would be nice.
"There will be an asterisk on this season, but, for the most part, I don't think this will change the perspective of loyal fans," said Owens' pal, Dan Brannagan, 26.
Jesus Palacios, 28, woke up to a text message Sunday from his brother reading: "Hockey is back."
A lifelong fan and United Center cameraman, Palacios will benefit by picking up more work hours.
"I'm truly happy," he said while watching his 11-year-old nephew, Moises, play in a hockey game at Johnny's Ice House. "I get goose bumps when Jim Cornelison sings the national anthem before games. It's the most beautiful thing."

Unity in Diversity
July 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Aysha Jamali
This is the second prize winner in the TMO Foundation 2011 Essay Contest.
I often look back at my childhood and note the split in my life, as well as in the lives of so many, made distinct after September 11, 2001. Ever since, I've had to answer for what I believe or prove who I was to people who had never focused so intensely on the terms "Muslim" or "Islam." It was tiring knowing that people were looking at me with preconceived notions, and it was tiring always approaching people with the attitude of clearing misconceptions.
But I accepted it. I accepted that if I wanted people to know my Islam, then I would have to be comfortable answering the endless stream of questions – many bizarre and ignorant, but always important.
Then the American people, both Muslims and others, discovered something. While I was explaining what Islam meant to me, someone else was explaining what Islam meant to them. We began to discuss with each other about what we believed, why we believed and how we applied those beliefs to our lives. Our stories were born.
We were forced to compare our Muslim identities to those who claimed to destroy lives in the name of Islam. I was not like those people. My family was not like those people. My community was not like those people. I knew that. So what were we like?
We were diverse. We were diverse in age, in heritage, in interests; but always unified in faith. At first, this vast and intangible diversity I discovered confused me. I thought it would be easier if all Muslims were the same – one religion meaning one type of follower.
Then I uncovered the deception in that statement. I heard different narrations from Muslims, even those who looked just like me, about what Islam meant to them. The true meaning of diversity came out. It wasn't limited to speaking global languages or swapping samosa recipes for falafels. It was deeper. It was diversity in experiences; diversity in thought.
So Muslims cannot be seen as one programmed, unchanging group – whether we're from Indonesia or Palestine, the East Coast or the West Coast. Nor was it ever our purpose to be so. As God says in verse 13 of chapter 49 in the Quran, "Oh mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another …" We were created as different groups not for quarreling but for knowing each other.
I'm only beginning to understand diversity in Islam. We're all only beginning to understand that. But it's evident in our discussions that this understanding has begun. Just in January, the Islamic Society of North America held its first Diversity Forum in Michigan. It featured sessions on Shi'a-Sunni relations, immigrant versus indigenous experiences and encouraging an appreciation for diversity under the theme of "Realizing The Dream: Finding Strength Through Diversity."
This forum seemed to have come ten years too late. I thought about how much discussions like that would have benefited me back in 2001. But it's important to realize that those struggles my community and I faced then, we are still facing now. We've almost been thrust back in time with the recent death of United States "Enemy Number One," having to answer those same decisive and identity-hinged questions again.
However, it's not a matter of redefining yourself but of defining yourself. We discover our stories and our paths to this one, unified appreciation and understanding we have of God and His message. It is under this unity that when defining ourselves, we also discover our diversity.

Does anyone play girl - the magazine pictures containing celebrities....
Does anyone play girl - the magazine pictures containing celebrities....
sam jones was always my fave
Blackdogue's Male Nudes -- Main Links Page
several PG Celebs in here.
^wow....that is a brilliant present mate....thank you
umm...some lovely ones there. I have grabbed a few for my collection. Especially like the Christopher Atkins ones. Him in speedos on Dallas was part of my formative years.
This site is also great, especially 'cause it features models post-1995 which Blackdogue does not:
Home - DC Playgirl Gallery
thanks so much for the links!
I think it's illegal to post pics after a certain point- Blackdogue used to and got into all kinds of trouble with the magazine.
The Christopher Atkins issue was literally my most priced possesion for awhile(when it first came out).A lifetime obsession with male celebrities and nudity started with that magazine!
Nice thread, thank you, sapien !!!
Steve Bond (Oct '75) has always been my favourite.
Attachment 872667Attachment 872668Attachment 872669They left out James Caan (1975) - Scott's daddy. From the glimpses I've seen of Scott - Like father like son!
^^^hot, but not Playgirl.....
i loooooove that last photo.. yummy penis.....
I Don't care what anyone thinks im putting in my vote for Levi Johnston. I know he didn't show his big meaty cock but he has such a hot little bubble ass that it really didn't matter for me!
not since the 70s have the celebs shown cock- I don't include reality show guys as celebs...wish they would- the celeb women who pose in Playboy show it, pity the men don't have the balls...Levi is HOT!
I agree!In some very key ways I think society has gotten more conservative in the last few decades.At least in regards to the male body,and male sexuality.Who knows why.It's hard to imagine any major American male celebrity of today posing full-frontally nude in a magazine.I'm an ass man myself,so I'd love to see Lautner,or Efron or Channing,whomever, posing with some really great butt shots.That's why I still love Christopher Atkins layout!
VERY hot thread
