INDIANAPOLIS -- Despite a Saturday afternoon media session in which some felt that quarterback Ryan Mallett was caustic and evasive when questioned about the drug allegations surrounding him, most league franchises that subjected the former Arkansas star to a closed door interview came away impressed with him.
Three teams that met with Mallett at the combine said they had no problems with his responses to the drug allegations or with his demeanor.
"The guy looked us right in the eyes and didn't dodge anything at all," said a high-ranking executive from an NFC team that is considering its quarterback options in the 2011 draft. "If we don't take him, it certainly won't be a reflection of his time with us (in the interview)."
Mallett was arguably the most impressive prospect throwing the ball during the Sunday on-field session for quarterbacks. He exhibited the strong arm most scouts expected of him and was very accurate as well. More accurate, notably, than former Auburn star and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton, clearly the most celebrated player among the 330 prospects invited to Indianapolis last week.
The physical difference wasn't the lone disparity between the players, said an assistant coach from an AFC club that might be interested in choosing a quarterback in the draft in two months.
"(Mallett) wasn't as self-absorbed as the other guy," the official said. "We really had no problem with him. He was pretty (straightforward), and he was very good, too, at (diagramming plays) on the chalkboard."
He has first-round talent -- Mallett told media he can throw the ball 80 yards, and his 6-foot-6, 253-pound frame makes him ideal for a team seeking a pocket passer -- but leadership questions existed before recent reports of his alleged drug use. Based on NFLDraftScout.com's current projections, Mallett could be in a battle with Washington's Jake Locker and Nevada's Colin Kaepernick to follow Newton and Missouri junior Blaine Gabbert off the board in April's draft.
None of the clubs queried chose to comment on the drug allegations and the manner in which Mallett fared in his media session.
Although Newton was met with mixed reviews for his appearance with the media on Saturday, the former Auburn star received generally favorable comments for his 11-minute session. Mallett, on the other hand, was mostly panned for his handling of the media.

noun \ˈskəl\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of SKULL
: the skeleton of the head forming a bony case that encloses and protects the brain and chief sense organs and supports the jaws
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Skeletal framework of the head. With the exception of the lower jaw, its bones meet in immovable joints (sutures) to form a unit that encloses and protects the brain and sense organs and gives shape to the face. The cranium, the upper part enclosing the brain, comprising the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones, is globular and relatively large compared to the facial portion. Its base has an opening through which the spinal cord connects to the brain. The skull sits on the top vertebra (atlas), which permits back-and-forth motion. For side-to-side motion, the atlas turns on the next vertebra (axis). See also craniosynostosis, fontanel.

Review by
Heath from Knoxville,Tn
Ive had this unit for about 6 months now it works amazing the preamp outputs work amazing. I paired this unit with the a series pioneer speakers and buddy let me be the first to tell you that im thinking hooking an amp to the door speakers may not be good for my health as its already super loud. I also used a preamp output to feed my subs its a 4 volt output so the subs (2 rockford d412) sound amazingly clear and powerful. The layout of the unit is top quality and easy to work with as is tge 7 band eq which made all the difference and making the door speakers keep up with the 1200 watts pushing my subwoofers. I could go on but ill just leave you with this buy this deck u wont be disappointed. Make sure u catch a good ground when installing for better signal and clarity.

The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.
MoreThere is no need to go into the District to find a decent restaurant. Alexandria and Arlington have a wide variety of ethnic and American restaurants at reasonable prices. Alexandria has several good restaurants near the river on and around King Street, but parking is tough and the Metrorail station is far away. In Arlington there is a good variety of dining between the neighborhoods of Ballston
and Rosslyn around five closely spaced Metrorail stations. The Shirlington area, just off Shirley Highway south of the Pentagon and with loads of free parking, has become a convenient and reasonable dining destination for both Arlington and Alexandria.

2012 NAMM Show: Recording microphone manufacturer MXL has announced the upcoming release of the Trio, the latest in the iPad-compatible USB condenser microphones. The Trio, which also works with PC and Apple computers, is specially designed to also work with both versions of the iPad (1 and 2).
Made with a rugged all metal design, the Trio is designed with the traveling recording artist in mind, as well as podcasters and consumers who want web chat using services like Skype, with high quality voice reproduction.
The Trio allows users to record on-the-go into their iPad using the Camera Connector Kit. A zero latency headphone jack is built into the body of the microphone. The user plugs their headphone directly into the mic to monitor their recording, a feature not all USB mics have.
The MXL Trio will be available in late January 2012, with an MSRP of $99.95.
IK Multimedia introduced iRig Mic, a condenser hand-held microphone designed for iOS devices and VocaLive, a vocal effects app, at the 2011 NAMM Show.
C.J. Pierce of Drowning Pool and IK Multimedia's Starr Ackerman show you what you can do with IK's 2 new releases iRig and VocaLive and then proceed to simulate a bad drug tip with VocaLive's voice effects.
VocaLive will have a suite of 5 dedicated real-time vocal effects (pitch correction, choir harmonizer, voice doubler, vocal morpher and de-esser) plus 7 effects tailored to vocal processing (reverb, EQ, compressor, delay, envelope filter, chorus, phazer) that can be combined on a 3-processor vocal rig chain.
2011 NAMM Show: Blue Microphones has introduced the Yeti Pro, the first USB microphone combining 24 bit/192 kHz recording resolution with analog XLR output.
The Blue Microphones Yeti Pro has a MSRP of $249.
Blue Microphones has announced the US $99.99 second generation Mikey Portable Recorder for iPod and iPhone.
Mikey still features two Blue mic capsules for pro-quality stereo recording, but now has improved acoustic circuitry for better recordings of loud events such as concerts. The new Mikey also has a 3.5mm line input for plugging in a sound source like a guitar or mixer.
There's also a USB pass-through connection for charging and syncing. A newly designed case makes Mikey usable with most iPhone cases, and the mic can be adjusted to seven fixed positions within a 230-degree range for optimum positioning.
Blue is also throwing in a soft carrying pouch for Mikey, along with a headphone extension cable for playback monitoring with the iPod touch and nano.
The Blue Mikey can be used with Blue FiRe, a free iPhone recording application.
Blue Microphones has introduced Yeti, the first THX Certified microphone and, according to the company, the "ultimate USB microphone for professional recording."
Yeti Features:
The Yeti microphone is designed to offer quality recordings in a wide range of situations, including podcasts, vocals, live or event recording, interviews, broadcasts, instruments, bands and more.
"THX testing and certification ensures the fidelity of the recording always remains true to its source" according to Matthew Chrispen, director of certification at THX, "allowing artists to accurately capture voice-overs, interviews and other sound elements with confidence."
The Yeti, MSRP $149.99, will be available beginning December 2009.
If you've used the Yeti microphone, leave a comment with your thoughts on it!
Shure SM58 & SM57 mics have a reputation for being reliable to the point of being indestructible.
Mats Stålbröst, editor of the Stockholm-based Studio, took that as a challenge and subjected a SM58 to a year of sadistic torture.
And here it is in all its awesome glory.
He used the SM58 mic to hammer nails, dropped it from heights, submerged it in water, drove a car over it and nuked it.
And the thing still worked.
So they buried it underground for a year. Continue reading

I've just ordered WWE Wrestlemania online from https://my.sky.com/orderboxoffice/ for this Sunday night/Monday morning on Box Office, and was wondering if that gives me both the Standard and HD channels to watch the event on, because it did not say when I ordered it online whether it was in hd or standard quality.

Hi Velocity12,
Thanks for your post.
If you ordered this event through our website, you should be able to view in SD or HD dependent on the Sky package you have. If you have our Sky HD subscription you should be able to view in HD.
Hope this helps.
There is also a WWE centrailed thread on the community here, check it out.

Good Girl Gone Mad: Rihanna's 10 Greatest Beefs
Her Opponent: Minister Louis Farrakhan
Why They Were Beefing: In March, Minister Louis Farrakhan said that he thought Rih-Rih's performances were "filthy" during a speech in front of 18,000 people. He also said that the people who enjoy watching her perform are "swine." Rih-Rih jumped on Twitter after learning on the comments to repsond. "A minster says I perform filthy, sat+watched the filth, then called u SWINE for doin the same!" she wrote. "Haa,Is that judgment in ur tone? #justgetsbettR."
The Result: Think Rih-Rih's above calling you out for your hypocrisy just because you're a minister? Think again. Let this be a lesson to anyone who decides that they want to beef with her: This girl clearly isn't afraid of anyone.

why we cut Hoyer makes no sense to me...should of kept him and signed him.
why we cut Hoyer makes no sense to me...should of kept him and signed him.
I'm perfectly okay with this signing!
Team needs: CB, S, OLB
Rara's 2015 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1- Marcus Peters, CB; Washington
Round 2- Hauoli Kikaha, OLB; Washington (compares to Jabaal Sheard)
Round 3- Gerod Holliman, FS; Louisville
Round 4- Jeff Heuerman, TE; Ohio State
Round 5- Chucky Hunter, DT; TCU
Round 6- Josh Shaw, CB; USC
Round 7- Malcom Agnew, RB; Southern Illnois
Free Agency Wishlist: Jabaal Sheard, OLB; Pernell McPhee, OLB; Stephen Paea, DT; Davon House, CB; Antoine Cason, CB; Bobby Rainey, RB
I would have rather kept Hoyer around. Jason Campbell IMO is better than Gradkowski also.
Our whole attitude now seems to be hire every out of work Pittsburgher.
Charity begins at home people.
Haluski, Halupki, Keilbasa and Gradkowski seem to fit.....its all good people
I have a feeling that Gradkowski is viewed as a #2.........Only until the draft choice comes around.
The "Optimistic" Offseason:
Taylor, Polamalu, Keisel, & Harrison - Retire
Cortez Allen & Shamarko Thomas - Steelers Believe They Are Starters
Cut - C Thomas & L Moore
Re-Sign Blake, McCain, Golden, W Johnson, & Moats
Re-Sign Worilds ($6 Mil Avg) OR Sign Derrick Morgan/Jabaal Sheard/Brandon Graham/Pernell McPhee
2015 Draft:
1st Danny Shelton NT
2nd Eli Harold OLB
3rd Jacoby Glenn CB
4th Jesse James TE
5th Matt Jones RB
6a James Sample S
6b Ray Drew DE
7th Kaelin Clay WR
Still need to draft a QB with some upside, not an UDFA. Someone with potential.
He won't get to play against our 4th quarter defense if we are paying him.
I like this move. This is an upgrade over what we had, and a step in the right direction at the position. I hope they draft a mid round QB to groom as the #3.

China's plans to build infrastructure and houses will increase demand for ships hauling dry-bulk raw materials, according to Arctic Securities ASA.
The Oslo-based investment bank will probably raise its estimates for demand growth because of announcements at the National People's Congress, analyst Erik Nikolai Stavseth said in an e-mailed report today.
The world's most populous country will build 100 port berths, 80,000 kilometers (49,720 miles) of highways and 5,200 kilometers of railroads in 2013, the National Development and Reform Commission said. The authority also said China will boost supply of midsize and small houses, which Stavseth said is important for steel demand.
"The data is staggering in size and clearly a positive in supporting demand for steel and ultimately dry-bulk commodities," Stavseth said in the report. "We find China's comments today supportive of decent dry-bulk demand growth to the extent that we will revisit and likely upgrade our demand expectations in the next dry-bulk update."

There are two sides to everything, a good side and a bad side. The same rule applies to SEO keyword research. Well, doing keyword research is one of the most important aspects of optimization, but it breaks down into two parts. The first part is SEO keyword research before you build a site; this is the research on which you will base your site upon. The other part is keyword research once your website gets some momentum and some traffic; this is where you decide if you are going for the first price or the ever comforting silver medal.
SEO Keyword Research Before You Buy the Domain
Conducting keyword research before you buy your domain name is very important, as having your most important keyword in the domain URL is a great ranking factor. So what do we look for here, we are not looking for a low competitive keyword that is for sure, but we are not looking for a single word either. Out goal is to find a two to three word phrase which has a search volume that is satisfying to our needs. This is the easy part, the hard part is getting a base of keywords to build your site on, and for that you will use your main keyword.
The main keyword can have numerous variations, but don't just use Google Keyword Tool or paid keyword tools to find synonyms and LSI keywords, use Thesaurus as well, this is the greatest keyword tool ever invented. What you need to do is create a list of keywords for your website that you will later narrow on your categories. My suggestion is to create a list of at least 100 keywords with at least 1,000 exact searches per month. If you can find that much it will be no trouble to create the main keyword on which you will base your website.
SEO Keyword Research 6 Months Later
After the first 6 months it is time to evaluate your SEO efforts and tweak your SEO campaign. In order to do that you need to reevaluate your keywords and maybe even discover some new ones. There is no need to use keyword tools here, the only tool you will need for this is Google Webmaster Tool.
All of the info about search queries and the amount of traffic that each of them gets will be available for you in your webmaster tools. What you need to do is find the keywords that are getting you the most traffic and build links using those keywords. Also identify potential rankers, keywords that are bringing you traffic without you optimizing for them. These keywords are the gold mine of your SEO effort. You didn't waste time in optimizing your website for them but yet you manage to get some traffic of them. With some work and a bit of inbound links you may be able to get a good rank and increase traffic from those keywords.
You will be able to identify which keywords to work on and you will also be able to find new keywords, all of that by using your own search history as your keyword research tool. After that you can repeat the SEO plan measurement and tweaking every 3 to 6 months and you can achieve success.

Deep Linking – Forgotten Link Building Strategy
There are several link building strategies that are constantly repeated on the web; deep linking somehow isn't one of them.

The trip: It's a late-summer morning, the air still crisp and redolent of campfire, your belly full of breakfast, and all your belongings (at least the ones that matter) on your back. Time is measured in the metronomic crunch-crunch of your Timberlands; distance, by the tracing of a single line on a crumpled topographic map. You're a few days' walk away from your next shower, cupcake, or click of a keyboard. Welcome to life on the Appalachian Trail, America's most storied footpath. If you can't through-hike all 2,175 miles from Georgia to Maine, which usually takes five to seven months, spend a week or two in the most northerly stretch, where you'll find the most rugged terrain and, in summer, the most tolerable weather.
Why go? Nearly 100 years after Benton MacKaye envisioned a path linking towns and wilderness, the A.T. remains an escape from urban lifeand a community unto itself.
What to pack: A few Snickers bars or packets of high-fat macadamia nuts to share with northbound through-hikers as they slog through the Hundred Mile Wilderness in Maine, just before taking the last of their five million footsteps at Mount Katahdin. (Most complete their trek by late August or September.)
Difficulty: 9.7 out of 10 for a through-hike. Only a quarter of the folks who start out in Georgia make it to Maine, mostly because of the mental challenge. But for a one-week hike from New Hampshire to Maine, it's only a 6. This section requires agility to squeeze through tight spots and scramble up rocks, plus cardio conditioning to make it up and down 5,267-foot Katahdin.
Your guides: Yourself, and a copy of the "Step by Step" planning guide by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, which will point you to requisite maps and gear for following some of the 165,000 white blazes along the A.T.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 By this time the crowd, unwieldy and stepping on each other's toes, numbered into the thousands. But Jesus' primary concern was his disciples. He said to them, "Watch yourselves carefully so you don't get contaminated with Pharisee yeast, Pharisee phoniness. | 1 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. |
2 You can't keep your true self hidden forever; before long you'll be exposed. You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known. | 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. |
3 You can't whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public; the day's coming when those whispers will be repeated all over town. | 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. |
4 "I'm speaking to you as dear friends. Don't be bluffed into silence or insincerity by the threats of religious bullies. True, they can kill you, but then what can they do? There's nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. | 4 "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. |
5 Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life - body and soul - in his hands. | 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. |
6 "What's the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never overlooks a single one. | 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies ? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. |
7 And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail - even numbering the hairs on your head! So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk. You're worth more than a million canaries. | 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. |
8 "Stand up for me among the people you meet and the Son of Man will stand up for you before all God's angels. | 8 "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. |
9 But if you pretend you don't know me, do you think I'll defend you before God's angels? | 9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. |
10 "If you bad-mouth the Son of Man out of misunderstanding or ignorance, that can be overlooked. But if you're knowingly attacking God himself, taking aim at the Holy Spirit, that won't be overlooked. | 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. |
11 "When they drag you into their meeting places, or into police courts and before judges, don't worry about defending yourselves - what you'll say or how you'll say it. | 11 "When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, |
12 The right words will be there. The Holy Spirit will give you the right words when the time comes." | 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say." |
13 Someone out of the crowd said, "Teacher, order my brother to give me a fair share of the family inheritance." | 13 Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." |
14 He replied, "Mister, what makes you think it's any of my business to be a judge or mediator for you?" | 14 Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" |
15 Speaking to the people, he went on, "Take care! Protect yourself against the least bit of greed. Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot." | 15 Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." |
16 Then he told them this story: "The farm of a certain rich man produced a terrific crop. | 16 And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. |
17 He talked to himself: 'What can I do? My barn isn't big enough for this harvest.' | 17 He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' |
18 Then he said, 'Here's what I'll do: I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I'll gather in all my grain and goods, | 18 "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. |
19 and I'll say to myself, Self, you've done well! You've got it made and can now retire. Take it easy and have the time of your life!' | 19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ' |
20 "Just then God showed up and said, 'Fool! Tonight you die. And your barnful of goods - who gets it?' | 20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself ?' |
21 "That's what happens when you fill your barn with Self and not with God." | 21 "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God." |
22 He continued this subject with his disciples. "Don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or if the clothes in your closet are in fashion. | 22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. |
23 There is far more to your inner life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. | 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. |
24 Look at the ravens, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, carefree in the care of God. And you count far more. | 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! |
25 "Has anyone by fussing before the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? | 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ? |
26 If fussing can't even do that, why fuss at all? | 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? |
27 Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They don't fuss with their appearance - but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. | 27 "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. |
28 If God gives such attention to the wildflowers, most of them never even seen, don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? | 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! |
29 "What I'm trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God's giving. | 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. |
30 People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. | 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. |
31 Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. | 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. |
32 Don't be afraid of missing out. You're my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself. | 32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. |
33 "Be generous. Give to the poor. Get yourselves a bank that can't go bankrupt, a bank in heaven far from bankrobbers, safe from embezzlers, a bank you can bank on. | 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. |
34 It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being. | 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. |
35 "Keep your shirts on; keep the lights on! | 35 "Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, |
36 Be like house servants waiting for their master to come back from his honeymoon, awake and ready to open the door when he arrives and knocks. | 36 like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. |
37 Lucky the servants whom the master finds on watch! He'll put on an apron, sit them at the table, and serve them a meal, sharing his wedding feast with them. | 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. |
38 It doesn't matter what time of the night he arrives; they're awake - and so blessed! | 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night. |
39 "You know that if the house owner had known what night the burglar was coming, he wouldn't have stayed out late and left the place unlocked. | 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. |
40 So don't you be slovenly and careless. Just when you don't expect him, the Son of Man will show up." | 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." |
41 Peter said, "Master, are you telling this story just for us? Or is it for everybody?" | 41 Peter asked, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?" |
42 The Master said, "Let me ask you: Who is the dependable manager, full of common sense, that the master puts in charge of his staff to feed them well and on time? | 42 The Lord answered, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? |
43 He is a blessed man if when the master shows up he's doing his job. | 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. |
44 | 44 I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. |
45 But if he says to himself, 'The master is certainly taking his time,' begins maltreating the servants and maids, throws parties for his friends, and gets drunk, | 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, 'My master is taking a long time in coming,' and he then begins to beat the menservants and maidservants and to eat and drink and get drunk. |
46 the master will walk in when he least expects it, give him the thrashing of his life, and put him back in the kitchen peeling potatoes. | 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. |
47 "The servant who knows what his master wants and ignores it, or insolently does whatever he pleases, will be thoroughly thrashed. | 47 "That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. |
48 But if he does a poor job through ignorance, he'll get off with a slap on the hand. Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities! | 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. |
49 "I've come to start a fire on this earth - how I wish it were blazing right now! | 49 "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! |
50 I've come to change everything, turn everything rightside up - how I long for it to be finished! | 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! |
51 Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I've come to disrupt and confront! | 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. |
52 From now on, when you find five in a house, it will be - Three against two, and two against three; | 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. |
53 Father against son, and son against father; Mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; Mother-in-law against bride, and bride against mother-in-law." | 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." |
54 Then he turned to the crowd: "When you see clouds coming in from the west, you say, 'Storm's coming' - and you're right. | 54 He said to the crowd: "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'It's going to rain,' and it does. |
55 And when the wind comes out of the south, you say, 'This'll be a hot one' - and you're right. | 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, 'It's going to be hot,' and it is. |
56 Frauds! You know how to tell a change in the weather, so don't tell me you can't tell a change in the season, the God-season we're in right now. | 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time? |
57 "You don't have to be a genius to understand these things. Just use your common sense, | 57 "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? |
58 the kind you'd use if, while being taken to court, you decided to settle up with your accuser on the way, knowing that if the case went to the judge you'd probably go to jail | 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled to him on the way, or he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. |
59 and pay every last penny of the fine. That's the kind of decision I'm asking you to make." | 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. " |

These photos released by China's Xinhua news agency display the new 10-yuan banknote (US $1.45) to commemorate the Beijing Olympic Games. The notes were issued by the central bank People's Bank of China in Beijing on Monday, July 7, 2008.
Gone from the banknote is the image of Chairman Mao which was replaced by a sketch of the new National Stadium, the "Bird's Nest" which is the emblem of the Beijing Games. Both old and new notes are set against the backdrop of the Temple of Heaven, one of Beijing's iconic sites.
Take a look at some more details on the Bird's Nest:

Saturday, April 07
US Airways Center
Attendance: 18,237
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Shannon Brown had 24 points and the Suns took down the Kobe Bryant-less Lakers, 125-105, on Saturday.
Bryant's consecutive games streak came to an end at 138 due to an injured left shin.
Michael Redd added 23 points for Phoenix, which made 14 three-pointers and set a franchise record for the fewest turnovers in a game with three.
Marcin Gortat ended with 14 points and nine rebounds for Phoenix, which got 13 points apiece from Sebastian Telfair, Markieff Morris and Steve Nash.
"It was good. We took care of the ball tonight and we gave ourselves a lot of opportunities to shoot the ball at the basket," Nash said. "And we're a good shooting team, so usually if we get a lot of shots we're going to make enough."
Pau Gasol had 30 points and 13 boards for the Lakers, who have lost two in a row. Andrew Bynum donated 23 points and 18 boards.
The Lakers actually controlled play in the first quarter, as they led by as many as 10 and took a 32-24 lead into the second.
But the Suns dominated the second frame to switch the momentum. Trailing by four, 44-40, with 6:55 left, Phoenix went on an 18-6 run. Redd tallied nine points during the surge, which Telfair capped with a jumper for a 58-50 lead with 2:55 to go.
The Suns scored a season-high 38 points in the second stanza and took a 62-57 edge into the locker room.
Ahead 81-75 with 5:33 left in the third period, Phoenix put together a 12-4 run to create some distance. Josh Childress' alley-oop layup made it 93-79 with 2:10 to go. The home team took a 99-83 margin into the fourth.
Phoenix led by as many as 22 in the fourth.
"It's the same old, same old that's happened to us the last 8 out of 10 games or so," Lakers head coach Mike Brown said. "We haven't quite figured out how to play at the pace of this new pace that we're playing at and defend at the same time. And that's the way Phoenix plays. They like a high tempo or a fast paced game with a lot of possessions and they've done that for years."

Summary: Transformative market reforms in China since the late 1970s have improved living standards dramatically, but have also led to unprecedented economic inequality. During this period, China's educational system was restructured to support economic development, with educational reforms occurring at a startling pace. Today, the educational system has diversified in structure, finance, and content; it has become more market-oriented; and it is serving an increasingly diverse student population. ...show more These changes carry significant consequences for China's social mobility and inequality, and future economic prospects. In Education and Reform in China, leading scholars in the fields of education, sociology, demography, and economics investigate the evolution of educational access and attainment, educational quality, and the economic consequences of being educated. Education and Reform in China shows that economic advancement is increasingly tied to education in China, even as educational services are increasingly marketized. The volume investigates the varying impact of change for different social, ethnic, economic and geographic groups. Offering interdisciplinary views on the changing role of education in Chinese society, and on China's educational achievements and policy challenges, this book will be an important resource for those interested in education, public policy, and development issues in China. ...show less

Please help with the identification of this weed. It was
masquerading as a Cardinal flower (at least when it first sprouted). |
Follow-Up Postings:
It looks like poke weed to me. Look at the pic below of an up close poke weed flower. Is that it? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Poke weed
Enchanter's Nightshade, a native plant common in woodland edges. If you didn't plant it and you don't want it, its a weed. Usually very easy to pull out with thick white roots. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Enchanters Nightshade
I can't tell which one it is...Poke weed or the Wildflower, enchanters Nightshade. I'll take a closer pix for myself and see if I can identify or repost. Thanks Peggy and Judy! |
I took out a magnifying glass and tried to tell the difference between the two...but can't!! Both have tiny white flowers and dark green leaves. When I tugged to pull it out, the root is stem like. Can you tell me the difference between the 2? If it's a Wildflower, maybe I should keep it to see how it does? Anyone have any experience with these? Thanks. |
Both Pokeweed and enchanters Nightshade can be considered wildflowers, however, it does NOT look like pokeweed to me. Pokeweed florets dangle from the stem rather than stand up above the stem as in your pic. And the flowers are much showier (longer and bigger). And there is usually a purplish or reddish color in the stem of the flowers. jenny |
Jenny, You're right...the flowers on these plants are very tiny with 2 very microscopic antennae (forgot what they are called) coming out of each flower. The stems are green - no other color or hue. The question is, should I leave them and think of them as wildflowers in the garden? I'd feel much better with that knowledge than thinking I'm nurturing weeds! |
