CNN's Piers Morgan Tweets Attack on Second Amendment
British citizen and low-rated TV host Piers Morgan of CNN sided with sportscaster Bob Costas in an attack on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by coming to Costas' support in a Tweet on Monday.
"Quite incredible that Bob Costas makes an impassioned plea for less handguns," Morgan Tweeted, "and Americans go crazy with indignation. He's 100% right."
The Brit compounded his lack of knowledge by Tweeting, "The 2nd amendment was devised with muskets in mind, not high-powered handguns & assault rifles. Fact."
Sorry, Piers. Not "fact."
Morgan then made the mistake of proving his complete ignorance about history and the U.S. Constitution by bantering with several Twitter followers who criticized him for his obvious failure to grasp the facts.
Of course, the truth is that the Second Amendment was not "created with muskets in mind." The Second Amendment was crated with military long arms — whatever form they may take — in mind.
The founders weren't so stupid as to imagine that technology would never improve. Their goal was to give the people access to the same long arms that the military would use no matter what sort of long arms they were or were to become. So, yes, Piers, "high-powered handguns & assault rifles" were, indeed, meant to be covered by the Second Amendment.
There are two reasons, for that, we all know.
First, the founders expected "the military" to be we the people. Because the founders did not trust a large standing army, they only wanted a small standing army and to serve national security they wanted maintained a series of local militias so that, in times of trouble, the U.S. would have a military force at hand to repel invaders. Those militias would be made up of every military age male in the country.
This means the people would have to have the same firearms that any army, anywhere would have. If they didn't, their militias would be practically impotent and that would defeat the whole purpose of the militia.
Secondly, the founders expected that arms in the hands of the people would serve to temper the arrogance of the government. They obviously miscalculated on the latter.
So, this absolutely does mean that the people should be able to have the same firearms as the army. On the other hand, the founders did not think that citizens should have tanks, cannons, jet fighters, nuclear bombs, or weapons of mass destruction, quite despite that they hadn't been invented yet. After all, the founders specifically said "firearms" which in their day did not include the weapons of mass destruction that did exist then. Weapons such as ships of war, grenades, cannons, and land mines (then called torpedoes) were not called "firearms" in the founder's day. They knew the difference.
The founders were not as stupid as Bob Costas and foreigner Piers Morgan think they were.

• Editorial: Muskegon Heights homicide, school crisis hurts all of Muskegon County 1:06 PMThe sorrowful and disheartening news out of Muskegon Heights in the past week cannot be isolated in the two-square-miles of that city.

With 64 percent of the citizens saying they would vote to tax marijuana to fix the roads, compared to only 43 percent who would raise the sales tax to do it, maybe the governor should take a second look at his May ballot proposal.

No, I mean, really—it's important because you need to be aware of how you project yourself. Because right here, man, you're cool and relaxed and fun.
Had you been in the bathroom or come out?
It was locked, so I was waiting outside—
And I was coming out?
And I just sort of got you.
I probably didn't want to be ambushed. It probably was late at night and when you announced you were with the press, I probably felt even less so. [Laughs.]
Right. But you have to be ready for that. You're a politician.
I think there are times when you fight for a little bit of a privacy zone. I value personal time. I enjoy conversation. I love to sit and talk. But I don't like to feel a lack of control over my life.
But c'mon, you're running for president! You gotta show 'em what you're showing me.
I fight that a little bit—being "on" all the time. I think anybody who's thoughtful fights that a little bit. And sometimes you sort of say, okay, my mind's not in it today, I want a break.
But you can't do that in a campaign, for God's sake.
No, obviously you can't. And that's one of the learning curves. You realize, wait a minute, I've accepted a responsibility and that is to always be available. And you have to learn that. I didn't do that when I first began in this business. When I first began, I was so issue oriented. And I've learned through the years, through friends, through colleagues, through experience, through mistakes, that it's a very personal thing. Look, I'm not hard to figure out. I'm not a big complicated deal. I'm very straightforward, I'm loyal to a fault, I care about friends and relationships—I have thirty-year, forty-year friends.
Who's your best friend?
I never—because I have a lot of friends who are very close. And I wouldn't do that to one of them. I care deeply about things. I think the world is in a very dangerous place. I think I can make it better. I know how to lead. I think I have a good value system, a good set of instincts, and I think these guys in power are out of touch with the average people of our country. And people are getting hurt. And if you look at my life, I'm a fighter. I'm a guy who picks up fights and takes you on. I didn't have to come back from the war and go out and demonstrate and say we're going to end it, piss off a lot of friends and cohorts and the military, but I did. It was a matter of conscience.
Are you frustrated that the Republicans have painted you more the protester than the warrior?
I think they're pathetic. If George Bush wants to have a debate about what he did versus what I did, I'll meet him anywhere in the country and we can talk about opposition to the war and fighting in a war. Bring it on.
Right. But what about how he's painting you?
I just think it's pathetic. It indicates how craven they are. You know, in the dark of night I might call them some names, but I just think it's kind of stupid. I really do. I think it's so pathetic. It's stupid. And I think it hurt them. I mean, I think more people now know my record than did before, thanks to them. If you want to have that debate, let's have it. [Bartender puts down two pints of Guinness.] Cheers. Here's to Guinness.
The thick stuff. I love Guinness. This is one of my favorites.
I used to be a real good chugger of Guinness.
Yeah, you know. Chugging.
That's a thick chug.
It has practically no carbonation, so it goes down easy. It's like chugging syrup.
[Laughs.] That's good; Yeah, it's really soft.
So, in the past few years, you've lost both your parents.
Yes. It's a shame that they are not here to see this, to see me. Not that they would enjoy it.
What do you mean? Did they not want you to go into politics?
Well, not so much that. Just really the whole thing of running and all the attention it puts on everyone. It's not a lot of fun for everyone else. It's hard. And I think at different times they might have wondered about it all. But no, they were happy. They'd be happy.
Were you closer to your father or your mother?
At different times closer to each. But like with any son, there sure were times when I parted ways with my old man. I also never saw my father a lot growing up because he was in the Foreign Service and always traveling. So when I became a father, I wanted to be sure and carve out time for my kids, to let them know I was there for them and how much I loved them.
Here's a crazy theory.
You've got a great résumé, you're an internationalist, patrician. You're more the son of George Bush Senior than W. is.
I don't want to go anywhere near that. Except to say this: I like Junior, but I like the senior Bush enormously. A very decent, thoughtful guy. And I have great respect for him.
W. seems like he came out of a laboratory.
I don't comment on him personally at all.
What's that gold chain around your neck?
It's a Saint Christopher's medal, given to me by a family friend before I shipped out for Nam, and I haven't taken it off since.

Customer comments about Architecture King Standard Bed:
We have purchased two Architecture beds and we love them both. The first was in 2011 for our vacation home (queen, black steel). We wanted something modern but unusual that would make guests feel like they were truly on vacation. The second in 2014 for our new home (king/white). Both versions have the "tall" legs (in '11 that was the only option, we chose it in '14). I would encourage customers to really measure twice before closing the tall option. (We did not purchase R&B mattresses.) Our vacation home mattress is standard height - no pillow top - and the overall height is fine. Our primary home mattress is a pillow top and is really tall. Even though we are 6'8" and 6', when we get out of bed, we are immediately standing up. Our fault, not R&B's, and we don't really mind but it isn't ideal!

Customer comments about Architecture Queen Bed:
The high sheen color on the steel makes for an incredible depth of color. The blue is just rich enough without being navy. I went with the higher bed verses the standard lower version. The higher bed with a standard mattress (bed doesn't take a box spring) is in line with what most bedside tables and beds are from a traditional design perspective. The lower version is more suitable for the lower profile modern bedsides that are on the market these days. I did order the coordinating mattress boards from Room and Board and am thrilled with them as well.

Customer comments about Architecture Queen Bed:
I am in love with this bed! The height from the floor gives the room a very airy feel. My husband complains on a lack of headboard, but we had to get rid of our upholstered bed because the headboard was ruined by my kids. It is very strong and my husband can do tons of pull-ups with the upper rail and not one squeak was heard. Go for it if you are thinking about buying this bed. Delivery was easy and very patient with 4 kids running around.

Customer comments about Architecture Queen Bed:
After having an antique iron bed, we were ready for a change. I love that this bed is so heavy and sturdy, it feels like it could last like our antique bed. Its sparse style and simple lines make an impact and leave room for creativity with the bedding. The canopy gives a nod to romance, while the bed has a modern and clean aesthetic. We are very pleased.
Service and delivery comments:
Because we ordered a custom color, and the taller size, we had to wait some time for delivery, but the staff was extremely helpful and kept us informed on the delivery status. When the bed arrived with a scratch, the delivery staff was extremely helpful and we were able to resolve the issue to our satisfaction with no fuss, and great support from customer service. I can't speak highly enough of the staff.

MOBILE, Ala. — Lee University's 15th-ranked men's basketball team completed a sweep of Auburn Montgomery and the University of Mobile on Saturday evening by defeating the host and previously undefeated Rams, 67-55.
Red-hot shooting by Chase Dunn in the opening minutes and an eight straight point surge by Will Barnes midway in the second half sparked the Flames to a 17 point lead at 10:52 mark, their biggest of the game. Mobile led only once early in the first half by a single point.
The win pushes the surging Flames to 7-0 overall and more importantly 2-0 in Southern States Athletic Conference play. Mobile drops to 3-1 and 1-1 in conference action.
Coach Tommy Brown called the weekend sweep "huge" for his Flames. "It took another entire team effort," he noted. "We had to use three big men against their post players. Pat (Shaughnessy) fouled out. Big Steve (Bennett) had four fouls and so did (Muniru) Bawa. We had to push Chad (Lee) inside and he never backs away from anyone."
Barnes finished the contest with 20 points after scoring only five in the opening 20 minutes. Dunn totaled 16 and had only four points in the second stanza.
"If those two ever put two good halves together, it would really be something," commented Brown.
Once again, Chad Lee was the rebounding leader with 11 and Bawa followed with five as the Flames out-rebounded the taller Rams 35-29. Lee also did an excellent job of taking care of the basketball, committing just 10 turnovers, the same as Mobile.
For the game the Flames shot a solid 50 percent overall from the field (26-of-52). They struggled somewhat from behind the arc, hitting just 3-of-10 but went to the line 16 times and canned 12.
The Lee defense held Mobile to just 28 percent shooting for the game. The Rams converted 5-of-16 treys and marched to the free-throw line 28 times, connecting on 20.
Chris Richardson paced the Mobile scoring with 14 points. Kwane Beard and Dominick Brumsfield had 11 apiece.
The Flames will have a long break, taking next week off for Thanksgiving and then return to action on Nov. 30 when they face another big weekend series, hosting Loyola (La.) and Spring Hill (Ala.).
Friday evening
Flames 87, AUM 67
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Paced by outstanding shooting by senior guard Chase Dunn early in the second half, the Lee Flames out-scored host Auburn Montgomery 52-33 in the second 20 minutes and went on to open the Southern States Athletic Conference season with an impressive 87-67 road win.
The Flames led only 35-34 at the break but the play of Dunn got Lee off to a tremendous start in the second half and they never looked back. Dunn canned 3 3-pointers and a two-point field goal in the first four minutes of the second half and helped Lee build a 50-45 advantage.
From that point forward, the entire team seemed to catch fire with Will Barnes, Corey Billingsley and Chad Lee helping lead the charge. By the time the contest reached the six-minute mark, Lee was comfortably on top, 78-56 and coach Brown was able to go deep into his bench to allow several of his regulars a little rest before Saturday's key battle at the University of Mobile.
"We were terrible in the first half, didn't seem to have our focus and were not moving our legs on defense," said Brown. "We had a serious talk at the halftime break and what else can I say, we were just an entirely different team in the second half and a lot of different players helped give us the lift we needed."
After shooting a solid 42 percent overall in the first half and making 6-of-16 3-point shots, the Flames shot a blistering 65 percent overall in the second 20 minutes and 46 percent from behind the arc. They finished the contest with a 54 percent average from the field and 41 percent from behind the arc.
Three Lee players posted double-figure points. Barnes paved the way with 21 markers. Dunn followed closely with 19. Billingsley had his moments by making 3-of-4 treys and totaling 15 points, while big Steve Bennett countered with eight points and eight rebounds. Duran Blue tallied nine points and tied Dunn in the assist department with six.
But again, the unsung hero was sophomore Chad Lee. He scored only two points but grabbed eight rebounds and came away with five big steals. Munira Bawa saw his share of action, ramming home a pair of dunks and finishing the evening with seven points.
The Warhawks (1-3) were paced by Michael Willis with 17 points, Reshad Bickham came off the bench to tally 17 and LeRel Jackson totaled 10 points. Lee won the rebounding battle 39-33. The Flames were guilty of 17 turnovers and AUM committed 18.
"We've got to play a very tough Mobile team in less than 24 hours and our guys have to rise to the challenge," noted Brown. "As usual Mobile will have a well coached basketball team and it will take 40 minutes of solid play for us to produce another big road win."

I was raised by my dad, and he wasn't exactly a chef, so I'm experiencing a lot of new things on my own with the help of recipezaar, of course :) .

IMA Prayer says ………..
"May everybody be happy,
May every one of us see to it
That nobody suffers from
Any pain or sorrow.
I do not ask for crown
Nor I wish to be in Heaven or Reborn
I only want to alleviate
the suffering of those people
Who are burning in the fire sorrow."
But some IMA members in Bengal are in sorrow due to some unjust actions, thus this endeavour. In democracy everyone should have a voice, this effort is to uphold democracy by upholding the unsung voice. Democracy needs to be restored, elections need to be held in MCI & WBMC & elections within IMA should be by secret ballot as always has been in past & not by raising hands.
We want witch hunting to end, mutual respect to all IMA members of all opinions and beliefs, we expect leaders to act as leaders & to respect the members rights & also of small branches. We are and always be the Friends of IMA.

Thanks for the thoughtful reviews I received on the previous version of my site.
I've updated the home page, so instead of taking visitors directly to most enrichment activities like book quizzes or math problems, visitors can choose to click on a Teacher or a Student button, and those pages will lead them to the most relevant activities for each audience. My hope is that this will decrease my home page bounce rate and encourage users to explore what's offered.
I also added some pictures of students to humanize the home page, in place of my previous PowerPoint clip-art.
I welcome any comments or suggestions about the new look of the home page. The enrichment pages for teachers and students are also new, so comments about making those as user-friendly as possible are also welcome. The site has 600 pages, and I want to focus on building content, but I want to feel like I'm moving in the right direction with the layout and navigation before it gets too much bigger.
Some of you offered very helpful suggestions that I haven't been able to address yet, including the creation of the footer or the fact that my site builder automatically adds the site title to my meta tags for page titles, among other things. Still working on them!
Thanks in advance for your help!
You're absolutely moving in the right direction. This version is a significant improvement to the previous iteration.
I find the content to be well organized, the visual design is harmonious, the language is refreshingly clean and concise, and, most importantly, I'm tempted to stay on the site and delve in deeper.
The only thing I'd try is to trim your markup. It's quite heavy and probably has an effect on the site's performance in terms of speed, at least on my end it could definitely be faster. It's not slow, mind you, but for this type of site, there's little reason to have such massive code.
That's all I can see as a minus point, though.
Overall, this is an excellent site.
Thanks very much! Your reply is very encouraging.
I have a lot of work to do in terms of internal consistency, in addition to learning some tricks to try to work within the site template I've chosen, but it feels good to be on the right track.
Have you tried playing with the font colors? Instead of having all of the font be blue perhaps just have the links be blue so they stand out. If everything is blue (in my opinion) nobody knows what is clickable or not, especially when you have text-decoration set to none.
I really like the header and the color selections. I think that you may be trying to use too many colors. You may try making that tan middle section white and the aqua line below it the same blue as one of the blues in your header. Also, I'd put borders around the images. I think images should almost always have a nice THIN border. Maybe underline the links at the bottom of the page. Your site does look well structured, but I do think that you can tone it down on the colors some.
I agree with Scott, the blue font color and links threw me off, I would suggest a dark gray for text and leave the links blue.
Thanks for your comments.
I had tried making the links green (on the darker side of lime), with visited links magenta (currently they are brighter blue with visited links magenta; regular text is darker royal blue). I changed them to blue just so they would be more conventional and in line with user expectations. I didn't consider there wouldn't be enough contrast between links and text, so maybe I should try to switch that back. I tried orange, too (opposite blue on the color wheel), but again, I thought visited links should be more in the red/purple family, so I didn't want to be confusing.
Brian, you're talking about the border around the main text area, right? The tan between the two blues? That is one of the banes of my template existence. (Can a person have multiple banes? Anyway.) So this template I've chosen has that background as a picture--so I can't edit the color. If I remove the tan background picture, the dark blue from the bottom goes all the way up to meet the bright blue header. It looks kind of cool, but I did a user test with Five Second Test and users there preferred the one with the divided border. I know a bit of html and less css, so I don't know how to create my own background picture and size it properly, although my site editor does allow me to upload files, so I could put something there once I figure that out.
On the other hand, if you mean the color that's the background for the main text area, I could make that white.I'm not sure what aqua line you mean, though.
I'll re-consider the picture borders--good to have other opinions on stuff like that.
Thanks very much for taking time to look and offer comments--I appreciate your feedback.
It's like there's a mismatch between your top (pretty & shiny) top banner (good job!) and the rest of the page, which is rather plain and uninteresting to look at.Too much text of the same color on flat surface of the same color.
Also, I agree with the others: that blue color you found for the text is not good.Actually, no large portions of text should be blue at all. Black or dark grey.
My advice, your site needs more content.
I assume you are teasing a little, since the site has over 600 pages, and some are pretty extensive. If not, could you explain more about what you're looking for?
I changed the main text color and removed the tan/gray background color, which gives me a lot of blue background. I'm getting used to it--not sure if it's "there" yet, but still trying things. Thanks for the comments so far!
I would recommend you make the headings of each page much bigger, and keep them to the left (not centered) and deppending how big, add enough padding to make them stand out
in your banner, you have very nice shades of blues, maybe use them in your content ??
And maybe, just because your "I am a student ..." box, is green, try to use a bit more green.
because you have a lot of content, maybe a big footer, might help, not 100% sure how, but I think it would
And also maybe make use of some form of tabs and drop-down content, to brake the content so that it is easier to consume
also, this might be just me, but if you try to remove the body background color, and this image:from you #content its background color - I think then content seems less crammed --- but this might be just a personal preference
Thanks for your ideas, akurtula. I have been trying to figure out how to develop a footer that I can drag and drop with links inside it (I would have several different versions for different content sections), but I don't know how to do it yet. It's supposedly possible with my site editor, but I haven't been able to manage it yet. I think it will make a big difference when I can make that work.
I hadn't thought about left-aligning the headers or enlarging them--I'll try that and see how it feels. I think more green is in order somehow, somewhere . . . I'm just not sure how to use it yet without going crazy.
With the background image, do you mean just letting the main content area be a white background, instead of the off-white-ish color it is now?
Thanks--I appreciate the time you took to look and offer feedback.
I took a screenshot of your website after I edited it on my browser so this is what I mean: - http://aurelslab.co.uk/deletethis.png
ps - let me know when you finish with the above like so that I can remove the image from my server
Hope it helps
Thanks! All done--I kept a picture of the screenshot you took so I could try it and play with it. I see what you mean now.
I have a question--not sure if anyone can help me.
The good news--I found footer code that I can insert into my web design template. This footer will allow me to drag and drop elements (search box, text links, social media icons, copyright info, etc.) in the same way I can manipulate page elements with my design builder. Better yet, if I change the footer in one place, the changes automatically happen across the site--no more manually changing 600+ pages.
When I inserted the css and html bits, they behaved the way I want them to, but they don't look the way I want them to. Apologies to all the real designers out there--I am really doing a hack job with my css, but I have tried changing everything I can imagine--changed the padding around the footer, changed the width of the footer--and the footer continues to be wider than my main content area, no matter what I do.
Essentially, I have a main box for the content area with blank sidebars on either side. I am trying to add a footer that will either A) line up with the borders of the main content box (I sized it to the same # of pix as the wrapper, but it didn't work--still showed too wide, or if I decrease the pix a lot, it moves over to the left) or B) have the footer box go infinitely to the left and right.
Can anyone point me in the right direction about what I could adjust? It's center-aligned, if that makes a difference. There are styles in my code for a footer and a custom footer (mine is a "flexible footer"), and I tried just deleting both of the other styles, and getting rid of those didn't help, either.
I haven't published the footer version with my editor yet, because it looks too goofy, but it would be a huge step forward to make this work. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer!
This question should probably be posted in the CSS section of the forums.
Anyway, the "symptoms" you mention are usually the result of wrongly calculated widths.
What is the total width of the content containers (above the footer?). The total width comprises borders, margins, padding, and width.
Example of a 940 total width element could look like this:
width: 880px; padding: 20px; margin: 8px; border: 2px solid black;
This computes to a total of 940px = 880px (width) + 20px + 20px (padding) + 8px + 8px (margin) + 2px +2px (borders).
So, see what values you've got for your footer and see if the total width is not greater than that of your other containers.
Thanks, kohoutek--this is a great place to start. I didn't want to mess with my other code too much, so I appreciate the direction. (Sorry for the off-topic post location, but I am really attending to previous advice about implementing a footer . . . I've almost got it!)
Your about page form alignment is not proper. Please take care of this. Bottom part of your home page is seems blank. If you could add some bottons then it will be more attractive.
@GeorgL--I am trying to add a universal footer (see my previous post about 5 back), and I am actually thinking of doing it in that green color, but I'm having some coding issues. I thought I had tested that for contrast, but I'll check it again.
@marksmit--sorry, not sure what you mean about alignment on the about page--what would you recommend? (and with regard to the bottom of the page--again, the footer is in progress, but a bit stalled).
Thanks for having a look!

Despite going through the very excellent pictures and descriptions available at both "A World of Salvias" and "Robins Salvias", I still can't ID the following two plants (maybe that's because they aren't salvias !?).
Plant #1 is about 4' tall with definite pink flowers. It seems to be a somewhat vase shaped plant but it is growing among other flowers so it may just be reaching for its share of the sun. The young stems are gray but have become woody on the more mature plant. The leaves are not smooth and tend toward an olivey green color. The picture of the plant with leaves is a recently propagated cutting, hence its small size. I can detect no particular smell to the leaves. Plant #2 is below. It too is a rather tall plant - about 4' high - but has many more clumped stems from which it is growing. The small pale blue flowers are rather "lost" considering the size of the plant but maybe it's just finishing - or beginning - its main flowering burst. I forgot to check for any scent so can't comment on that aspect. Thanks for sharing your input - June |

The first sage is Salvia greggii x karwinskii `Riverside' and the second one appears to be S. uliginosa. This one will have a lot of stolons (runners). |
Thank you very much for the ID's. The "Riverside" plant looks like it could be a winner for me; that the hummers like it is a bonus. I think I'll just observe the uliginosa from afar for now. The specimen I saw certainly doesn't look as attactive as the gallery pictures, and my garden is small. June |

He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Below are the churches planted out of Bethlehem since 2003 as part of our Treasuring Christ Together strategy. [See a comprehensive list of Bethlehem church plants since our beginning in 1871.]
The Heights Church was renamed from Hayden Heights Baptist Church after going through a "restart" that began in 2011 with Bethlehem Baptist Church. Hayden Heights had been in existence for 89 years at the time their congregation agreed to work with church planter Weyland Leach, who was installed as pastor in July 2013. |
New City of Nations Church is a multiplying movement of Christ-exalting, multi-ethnic church communities seeking to redemptively engage all peoples in the Twin Cites and beyond. The church has been meeting at Seward Montessori School/Matthew Park Community Center in South Minneapolis since summer 2012. |
Redemption City Church was approved by Bethlehem Baptist Church as a TCT Church Plant in July 2011 to plant in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They plan to officially launch in September 2012. |
Christ Redeemer Church began working to advance the kingdom of God on the east side of the Twin Cities when they began meeting in Woodbury in September 2010. |
Urban Harvest Fellowship started to bring the power and presence of God, in the gospel of Jesus Christ, to bear upon one of the darkest areas of North Little Rock, Arkansas, in May 2010. |
Jubilee Community Church was commissioned in January 2010 to see the gospel spread through the diverse Phillips and Powderhorn neighborhoods of South Minneapolis. Jubilee is meeting at the 16/33 Center. |
Kaleo Church began working toward establishment with missional communities in January 2009 in the urban area of San Diego, California. |
Glory of Christ Fellowship opened its doors in Fall 2007 in Elk River, Minnesota. Their vision is to be enthralled with the glory of God and to proclaim the excellencies of God among the nations through Jesus Christ. |
Grace Community Church began having weekly services in November 2006 in urban Memphis, Tennessee. Their desire is to not only act as followers of Christ, but to be followers of Christ. |
All Nations Christian Fellowship was planted in 2006 in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as a gospel-centered church with particular emphasis on intentionally living out the gospel reality of racial harmony. |
Treasuring Christ Church exists to spread among all peoples a joyful love for Jesus Christ in all things for the glory of God. The church was planted in 2005 in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. |
Desiring God Community Church was planted in 2003 and seeks to be a church that builds joyful community from the many people groups God has brought to Charlotte, North Carolina. |
Can You Recommend a Church in My Area?
Here are several church-locator links that may be of help to you. (Even though we value and respect these ministries and their networks, a church's inclusion in any of these networks should not be viewed as an endorsement by Bethlehem Baptist Church.)

- Sovereign Grace churches
- Acts 29 network of churches
- Founders-friendly churches
- The Gospel Coalition

North county residents opposing the Highway 101 bypass around Willits are planning a caravan trip this week to Sacramento to urge elected officials to stop the project. The same group is organizing a bus trip to Los Angeles to attend the May 7 California Transportation Commission meeting. The CTC is scheduled to vote May 7 on nearly $31 million in bypass mitigation funding
Nearly 100 residents attended a Sunday bypass forum at Little Lake Grange. The forum was organized by Save Our Little Lake Valley.
David Partch spoke on the watershed; Rosamond Crowder spoke on wetlands; Bob Whitney spoke on wick drains. Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman acted as moderator.
Partch spoke of the estimated 35,000 acre-feet of water stored within the Little Lake Basin, comparing it to the 1,250 acre-foot maximum capacity of the City of Willits reservoirs. Partch illustrated the benefits of avoiding direct runoff of the nearly 4 feet of rainfall that falls annually in the area and to encourage it to infiltrate into valley groundwater.
Crowder spoke of the many benefits of a well-functioning wetland. Wetlands filter the water removing sediment and particulates; the living micro-organisms remove nitrogen and other pollutants from the water.
In the early days, while the population in Little Lake Valley was small, the valley was an "inland delta," said Crowder.
Crowder also expressed concern about the potential impact of the nearly five miles of raised roadbed on drainage and flooding in the valley. The roadway is about 30 feet above ground at the northern end. She showed a photo of a post in a Little Lake pasture that in 1997 was 36 inches tall and three years later was only 18 inches tall due to sediment buildup from a series of floods. The flood maps CalTrans used as a basis for the environmental impact statement have been revised by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in recent years, showing a wider flood footprint.
Bob Whitney shared information about wick drains obtained from the internet.
Local rancher John Ford expressed concerns about how CalTrans would maintain streams through property it now owns to allow free passage of fish. He noted an area in the CalTrans domain with blockage along about 250 feet of stream.
"The valley will lose its fish passages if they aren't cleaned out," Ford warned.

text: Are all Catalyst bats considered non-compliant for ASA championship play? No, only the (-8) Fastpitch model FPC305 (offered in lengths/weights 32/24, 33/25, 34/26) has been found non-compliant. The (-10) FPC205 (31/21, 32/22, 33/23, 34/24) is still certified and considered perfectly eligible for ASA championship play. Slow-pitch model SB206 is also certified and eligible. Slow-pitch model SB105 was never ASA certified and cannot be used in ASA play. Why was the FPC305 originally certified and now has been found non-compliant? The FPC305 (-8) Catalyst initially tested within the limits of the ASA certification standard by a margin that was thought to be within reason of the variances of the test. Recently, the ASA's random audit testing procedure found the FPC305 to test 0.3 mph outside the 98 mph limit and was added to the non-compliant list of bats. What is the difference between the SB206 ASA Catalyst and the FPC305 and why is the SB206 still legal? The SB206 Catalyst is constructed using a different composite fiber lay up angle than the FPC305, allowing for a test result that is reasonably within the limits of the standard. The new FP72C (-8) Catalyst 2 features a similar lay up angle as the SB206 and will also be ASA compliant. What should I do with my FPC305 (-8) Catalyst? The non-compliant status of the FPC305 is only applicable to ASA governance and the bat remains eligible for other associations (NSA, USSSA, ISF, etc.). If you play ASA governed softball and your FPC305 is no longer permitted for championship play, we will replace your bat with one that is ASA approved. Please visit www.slugger.com for replacement options and procedures or call Customer Service at 1-800-282-2287 Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m., Eastern Time. Will I be able to tell a difference in performance from the FPC305 and the new FP72C? The FPC305 (-8) Catalyst tested a slight 0.3 mph over the 98 mph limit and the FP72C (-8) Catalyst 2 was constructed to withstand the test variance that led to its failure. That said, the difference is insignificant enough that it does not perfectly relate and will not be noticeable to on field performance. - more press releases -

I'm feeding many birds and one squirrel in the front yard of the apt building. I've heard too many stories of human trying to keep squirrels out of bird feeders, and the squirrel always wins, so I don't mind feeding one squirrel. So far.
My question is, if I feed him his own food, is he likely to leave the bird food alone, or to eat that too? In the couple of days I've been observing this little drama, the squirrel seems to eat continuously. well I guess I'll find out, cuz that is what I'm going to do. Wondered what others' experience is. thanks,
BTW, I'm not going to try to outsmart the squirrel with an expensive bird feeder which is supposed to be squirrel-proof. I tried one, and it wasn't. Nor am I very good at building things. Besides I like the little fellow, and he deserves to eat too. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ellen, I gave up on that too, I love my squirley guys. They really like the squirrel proof bird feeders don't they? Keeps them entertained for hours. I took one of the tube feeders that they had ruined and filled it full of BOSS and also threw some on the ground. I put the tube feeder on the ground next to the pile of seeds and those goof balls went for the seeds in the feeder, not the freebies on the ground.It's all about the challenge and keeping themselves entertained! ;D Lisa |
haha. that sounds like my cat. she definitely prefers treats that she isn't supposed to have. What is BOSS? ellen |
Oh sorry, forgot I wasn't on a birding forum.BOSS= Black Oil Sunflower Seed. Lisa |

The Squirrels at my house used to live on the bird feeders so I finally put up a couple of Squirrel feeding stations with the corn cob holder & a Squirrel snack box & now they never come to my bird feeders, just eat at their own feeders. I do not put lesser quality food in the Squirrel feeders than I do the bird feeders & they are happy. Bottom line is the Squirrel's are just hungry too, I love the little furry guys & they are lots of fun to watch... :-) |
Oh, the cardinals love the BOSS! I have some hedges in front of my window (I am on the ground floor), and since I started feeding the birds, they have been hanging out in the hedges, even tho that's not where I feed them. I get a great look. For the squirrely I got this thing at Lowe's says it is made of corn, and outlasts corn by 24 times or something like that. It is round and dense. Then I realized if I put it out without a holder, he would probably take it away and hide it, and come back for more. so today I'm going to go get a holder, I think it has to be attached to something. I'm glad to learn that there is a bird forum - i'm going to check that out too ellenr |
I don't have to worry about the squirrels eating my bird seed, the neighborhood birds keep tabs on my feeder and mob it within a day of its being filled, staying and eating until it is empty. The sparrows are particularly plump, as they just sit in my 'gazebo' style birdfeeder and chow down. Its nice though, I can set out feed on Thursday or Friday and I'm sure to have lots of guests for my Saturday morning viewing pleasure. The chickadees, who live nearby, also stop by when there's food, if the sparrows give them enough room to get to it. I saw another type of bird kind of hopping around last time I had a bird picnic, it was black and a bit smaller than the sparrows, though still bigger than the chickadees. Don't know what that one was. My sparrows love to hang out on the burning bush in my front yard and the other bush that's closer to the feeder. That, and all along my fence line. Kyle |
If you feed one squirrel word will get around and you'll have many more before long. |
I wonder if the birds are off some place warming their nest becasue snow and sleet is forecast for this afternoon. This morning the usual crowd did not show up. Altho squirrel was there. Or I wonder if it is because the cat from across the street has noticed that this is a good hunting ground. It is like the lion waiting at the water hole to see what will show up. I hope I can figure out some way to discourage him, as I have been enjoying the show. ellen |

Hi, I feed both and also my beloved chipmunks...but they eat seperately because I noticed the squirrel will hog the feeders and not give the birds a chance to eat. I made a simple squirrel proof feeder which REALLY is squirrel proof and I have a small table made to match that I put food out on for them. I feed the same thing to the birds as my squirrels BOSS, nuts, other seeds, suet, all sorts of goodies, left over homemade bread...you name it. I could never turn down a hungry critter:) Here is a picture of both the table and the feeder! (normally the squirrels and chipmunks are on the table, lol...but in this picture the cardinals are enjoying breakfast! Keilamarie |
What a cool feeding station Keilamarie! No wonder they love it. ellen |

Keilamarie... What great feeders you made for your Birds, Squirrels & Chipmunks - they are all lucky to live at your house... :-) Wish we had Chipmunks here, I've only see pictures of them. |
Speaking of birds vs squirrels....recently while on vacation my husband and I heard a familar hawk scream and started looking around for a red-shouldered, a local and very vocal resident here at home. It came swooping in from our left and headed for the top of a nearby tree...and then the squirrel attacked. I have never seen this before but I promise you we had front row seats. That silly little brushytail scampered straight up and across some thin branches in the adjoining tree and then LEAPED at the hawk. I am completely serious. THe hawk flapped away with a bit of a surprised screech and then continued its usual keeeee-yah keeee-yah as it made for a different perch. I have heard that predators that are not in the mood to hunt or eat can be driven off or even killed by prey animals in weird circumstances. Somone once told me that if you put a live mouse or a rat in a cage with a snake that is not hungry or in a mood to kill, it can harm or even kill that snake. Is this true?? I do know that despite being a bit smaller than a red tail, a red-shouldered hawk is still big enough to pose a risk to a squirrel in my opinion.. Very weird. |

Oh my! I can't imagine a Squirrel going after a Hawk! Wonder if maybe the Squirrel had a young family it was trying to protect? You were so lucky to be able to witness that... :-) |
Prey fight back. I've seen many hawk and owl feet that were bit (some infected) by the prey they hunted. It makes sense: the strong, ferocious prey fight back and some survive, making them the best parents for reproduction. |

Why did you start?
had started and suffered an Achilles injury on his right foot. He couldn't drive. After surgery, while he was recovering, he was dedicated to coming into the gym. I was his driver, I peered in and soon began foundations.
What is your favorite CF move?
When was your first competition?
Is there a workout/CF move you are hoping not to see next weekend?
Martin Hoe:
How many years have you been doing CrossFit? Why did you start? I started in my backyard in January 2008, after being inspired by a friend at a Christmas party who said to me, "You look a little chubby, you need to get some exercise".
What is your favorite CF move? Leaving.
Did you play any other sports? I wanted to play team sports in school but no-one would pick me, so as an adult I have, at various times, been fanatical about mountain biking, snowboarding and surfing.
Is there a workout/CF move you are hoping not to see next weekend?Handstand walk
I began CrossFit because I was beginning to feel old and I was either going to work at getting fit or fat. I wanted to be able to play with my grandchildren as I grew older and did not want to be exhausted after only being with them a few minutes. I also wanted to be able to go out with my children and be active with them and not be worn out after a short while. Last September I saw all this fulfilled when we went to Outer Banks, North Carolina and I was able to play in the ocean with my children and grandchildren for as long as any of them wanted to be there.

UVA A Side defeated Georgia Tech 78-5 in its ACRL opener versus the Yellow Jackets with a great team effort.
On St. Patrick's Day, the UVA A Side convincingly defeated Georgia Tech by a score of 78-5. The victory was a true team effort with a total of seven players scoring tries. However, it must be said the back three had a tremendous day. Right Wing Pat Brown played only the first half, but during that time scored three tries and added a beautiful try assist to Inside Center Jordan Morris. His replacement Conor McNerney then proceeded to come on and score two tries of his own in the second half. Not to be outdone by his counterparts, Left Wing Robbie Hemstreet scored two tries of his own. Fullback Evan Burch also got into the scoring column, adding a long try of a kick return. The rest of the backline also had exceptional performances. Besides the aforementioned try for Jordan Morris, Flyhalf Julian Henderson scored 2 tries while doing a great job running the offense. Outside Center Sean Farias slotted 9 of 12 conversions and scrumhalf Chris Curtin played his typical stalwart defense.
The pack also had a strong day in both set pieces and rucks. Flanker sub Will came on to score an acrobatic try off a pass from Tighthead Prop John Thompson. It was a great day for the hands of the front row, as Loosehead Prop Nick Palacio also gave an offload that led to a try. Starting flankers Kevin McGrath and Andrew Vivirito, aided by lock Joey Murphy, also contributed to the team effort with a series of punishing runs, while lock Eddie Bittner and Harry Fischer, 8 Man Zack Addis, and Hooker Dixie Moffett played physical defense and solidified countless rucks. Overall, the UVA effort versus Georgia Tech was the definition of a team win.

I cannot find this fragrant plant anywhere. The one I hope to get is a "Brunfelsia Americana". I am aware there are others fragrant plants out there but I here this one is extremely fragrant at night. Would appreciate it if someone can find me one so that I may purchase same. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you talking about a brugmansia? |
Seamommy, I think he may be looking for "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" .... I have never heard it called "Lady of the Night" however. I have not noticed an unusual fragrance from this plant. However, mine has bloomed only during the winter in my plant room. I believe it to be NOT winter hardy in my zone. |

Local energy companies looking to save customers money
POSTED: Tuesday, November 1, 2011 - 3:47pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, November 1, 2011 - 4:52pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) —
Two Louisiana energy companies are looking to make a big switch in the next couple of years.
Entergy-Louisiana and Entergy-Gulf States Louisiana filed a joint application to partner with the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO).
The application would give MISO control of the energy companies' transmission facilities by December 2013.
Research shows that joining MISO would save their customers anywhere from $430-$575 million collectively in about nine years.

Heads-Up on Research Project
As someone who appeared in a recent Diabetes Health article about people who had lived with diabetes for at least 50 years ("The Gifts of Experience," August 2005) and who is very interested in finding a cure for the disease, I would like to alert your readers to an important research project and ask for their assistance.
This research project is focused on determining why a significant number of the Joslin Diabetes Center 50-Year Medalists remain free of the various complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, vascular problems) that have affected so many people with the disease. The study has been undertaken by the Joslin Diabetes Center and is partially funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Preliminary findings indicate that 48 percent of the more than 400 Medalists in the study have not had any complications from diabetes—a remarkable fact, suggesting that genetic or environmental factors may moderate or positively affect potential negative results.
We are grateful for the initial support of the JDRF, but the study was only partially funded. A number of the 50-Year Medalists and other individuals have made financial contributions for the study, but we still require another $1 million to achieve truly meaningful results. Without the additional funding, we are unable to include control groups in the study, to obtain the glycemic-control history of the Medalists or to look at residual insulin production in a small group of 50-Year people (a remarkable area of potential).
I have had diabetes for 60 years and I care deeply about finding a cure for the disease. I am writing to seek contributions to help complete what I believe is a very important study. The results can benefit all of us.
Donations can be sent to the Joslin Diabetes Center, Development Office, 50-Year Medalist Study, One Joslin Place, Boston, MA 02215.
I would be happy to answer any questions about the study.
Thank you for starting this excellent magazine.

No Discrimination Here
After reading Nicole Johnson Baker's article "Diabetes and Discrimination: Why Does It Still Exist?" (September 2005), I was surprised at the extent to which she says people with diabetes are discriminated against.
I am 16 years old and I have had type 1 diabetes for 12 years; I have never felt especially discriminated against. My friends, teachers and bosses have all been willing to learn and cooperate with my needs. I wear an insulin pump, and occasionally I have been instructed to "turn off my pager" at school, but once I explain that it is a medical device, the mistaken person is always apologetic. In my experience, people are simply inquisitive about diabetes and want to make sure that I am safe.
