Ju$$ Moneyy!!!!!
By Ju$$ Moneyy
Once upon a time in the NRN, on the outskirts of West Orange NJ, there was a team, a supreme team made of the elite therapists across the world who cared for one man, a great man. That man from Queens; tall, dark, handsome, talented & overall amazing at life. The great man was also a great rapper, arguably better than Tupac and Biggie and his name was Ju$$ Moneyy!!!!!. The great man had great therapy at the Kessler Dome. Shoutouts to everybody from Queens. Shoutout to all my NRN across the globe. Keep doin' you.
-The original words of a great man.
My name is Justin Thompson and I am 17 year old high school senior from Queens, New York. On October 21, 2011 at approximately 9:30 PM I was leaving a party with several of my friends when suddenly we were approached by an unknown group of men. My friends and I sensed trouble immediately and began to run. Unfortunately one of the men pulled a gun and shot me in the back during my pursuit. I became a victim of a random group shooting. I remained conscious as I hit the pavement but was unable to move my legs to get up.
I was rushed to North Shore Long Island Jewish hospital where they determined that I sustained a spinal cord injury. This was very shocking and devastating to me and my family but we remained positive. The level of my injury was categorized as T-9 complete, but my spinal cord and its fluids were intact because the bullet only grazed it. After a few days in intensive care, they performed a decompression surgery. The surgery went well and I stayed in intensive care for about 2 weeks.
After leaving the hospital I began intensive physical and occupational therapy as an inpatient at Burke Rehabilitation facility. I stayed at Burke for about 6 weeks and was discharged to outpatient therapy. I continued my therapy at NYU Longhorn but felt like I wasnt getting the rehab I needed to recover. While I was NYU my parents were contacted by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. They introduced us to the NeuroRecovery Program at Kessler and by July of 2012 I was enrolled.
The NRN program at Kessler is the best of all the places we have been thus far. It is a very high intensity program that is always promoting recovery. My dad and I travel from Queens five days a week to participate in this program but it has all been worth it. The therapists are all very knowledgeable and experienced and they always push me to do more. Everyone at Kessler plays a big role in the recovery success I have been experiencing there. I have shown tremendous progress since my enrollment in the NRN at Kessler with many things such as standing and taking assisted steps with a walker. I have high goals to regain strength and walk again and I know it will happen with the help of God and everyone at Kessler.
Meet Eric James LeGrand aka E La G, number 5 2! His life changed drastically in a single moment on October 16, 2010. As a football player Eric was known for his skill as a key defensive lineman and as a much loved teammate who could make anyone smile. During a heated fourth quarter of a tie game against Army, a crushing tackle left Eric sprawled motionless on the ground while the entire stadium went silent with fear and anticipation. Doctors later discovered that Erics body was paralyzed from the neck down, marking the beginning of a long, grueling and emotional road to recovery.
What Eric didnt know then, however, was that the months ahead would be a remarkable, transformative journey one so profound that he would call the time since his accident the best years of his life. His first goal was to breathe on his own and it only took him 5 weeks to be completely independent of a ventilator, the vent that doctors thought he would need for the rest of his life. He started setting his goals a little higher after that and his ultimate goals is not only to walk, but to stand up from the spot on the field where he was injured, to get up and to finish the play. He Thrilled fans months after his injury by posting a picture of himself standing in a standing frame with the caption Standing tall, we cant fall. A year after his accident, the nation watched as he led his Rutgers teammates onto the filed in his wheelchair a powerful gesture that was voted best sports moment of 2011 by Sport Illustrated readers.
Eric is an aspiring sports broadcaster and uses his experience to spread a message of belief and positivity. Hes even written a book about his experience entitled Believe: My Faith and the Tackle That Changed My Life.
Over the past 2 years he has continued to work toward his bachelors degree, while attending therapy daily at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange, NJ as part of the NeuroRecovery Network Locomotor training program.
When asked about his experience in the NRN he stated:
My Kessler team has taught me to never limit myself and always be ready to take on new challenges. With the help of my Kessler NRN team I plan on attaining my goal of walking again, one step at a time!

With An Indian Odyssey, Martin Buckley explores India using the Ramayana as compass
Travel writer and journalist Martin Buckley's An Indian Odyssey is a fascinating, complex and provocative book describing the author's journey from Ayodhya to Sri Lanka on a motorcycle, tracing the path of Lord Rama in the Ramayana. Along the way, he recounts his colourful experiences working as a journalist in Bombay two decades ago and his deeply personal spiritual quest in India, interweaving it with observations about the changing socio-political climate in India and his modern, Heart of Darkness-esque version of the Valmiki Ramayana. Excerpts from an interview with the author:
Your central thesis in the book is that the Ramayana can help unravel the complexities of contemporary India. When did that notion strike you?
Very early on. I bought a copy of the Ramayana in Sri Lanka as a 22-year-old, and as I travelled through India, I kept meeting people who would share their experiences of India with me because they saw that I was reading it. So many people knew it so well and loved it. It became for me the map and compass through which I explored India. Then, you had that phenomenon of the first T.V. version, and then the Ayodhya incident. It began to come together at so many levels. I discovered I wanted to bring in, for example, the 'Periyar movement' and the role the Ramayana plays in the politics of Tamil Nadu. Plus, I've talked about the conflict in Sri Lanka and the parallels, in the minds of some of its participants, to the Ramayana.
Doing your own version of the Valmiki Ramayana… that's a pretty monumental task.
It was a nightmare! The more I got into it, the more I realised, God, I'm dealing with a book that millions of people worship and venerate. Very few people in India has read the Valmiki Ramayana – they've all read the Kambar or Tulsidas versions of it. So, you're taking on an epic that not only most Western audiences haven't read, but of which there isn't even a firm, stable text that everyone agrees upon. You're talking about a cultural phenomenon, something that's literature, but that's also holy writ.
It seems like the story of the Ramayana itself takes a backseat to the cultural context in which it exists in the book...
Yes, my publishers wanted the book to not turn into an analysis of the Ramayana, but stay a travelogue, where I was I telling a story through my encounters in India. My original version of the Ramayana was actually much longer – three times longer. Purushottam Lal of Writers Workshop in Kolkata has offered to bring out that version as a book, so you might find it published in India soon!
Also, there's a definite nostalgia about the India that was, a sense that the nation is losing some essence of Indianness.
I feel that India is at a point of cultural crisis. I see that the English-speaking classes, the secular classes, are very patronising of religion, and there's this notion that somehow to have the secular state, you can't embrace Hinduism. Certainly you shouldn't persecute any minorities, but why this knee-jerk rejection of what is the richest, continuous, unbroken culture of its kind in the world? Hinduism is just a deep, deep well of wisdom and I hate to see the English-speaking sophisticates turn their back on it.
If there was one thing you'd want the reader to take away from this book, what would it be?
The fundamental message of the book is that the Ramayana is an eternal story, such as the Odyssey or the Iliad. Another huge purpose of the book was to talk about spirituality. I had a deeply spiritual experience in India, which was a turning point in my life. I believe that people who don't have a spiritual dimension have a lack in their lives; I think Western culture has a ghastly hole in the middle of it.
Any plans of returning to India?
I'm actually coming back in January to lead a travel tour. It's going to be the first tour that there has been in the footsteps of Ram, which starts in Ayodhya, goes through India, and ends up in Sri Lanka, at this gigantic new statue of Hanuman they've built.

Ok , Thanks for helping anyways :)
It's insulting to Jiskha tutors for you to post something you obviously haven't read carefully and proofread.

Dutch Court Acquits Lawmaker Wilders of Defaming Muslims
June 23 (Bloomberg) -- Dutch Freedom Party Leader Geert Wilders was acquitted by a court of charges that he made remarks defaming Muslims, ending a three-year prosecution that he described as a bid to restrict his freedom of speech.
Wilders, 47, was charged with inciting hatred and discrimination and insulting Muslims for calling the Koran "fascist" and comparing it to Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" in a 2007 Dutch newspaper editorial. A year later, he released his movie "Fitna," in which he urged Muslims to rip out "hate-preaching" verses from the book.
"You have spoken in a hurtful and also shocking way," Presiding Judge Marcel van Oosten said in the Amsterdam district court today. Even so, "the court finds, in the broadest context, that you have to be able to propagate the message of such a film."
The movie led to protests in Islamic-majority countries including Indonesia and Pakistan and prompted Malaysians to call for a boycott of products from the euro area's second largest exporter. Wilders, whose party backs the minority Dutch coalition government, has been under constant police protection since a Muslim radical murdered filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004.
'Speak Critically'
"Today is a victory for freedom of speech," Wilders said on its website today. "The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about Islam, and resistance against Islamization is not a crime."
Prosecutors, who were forced to file charges against Wilders by a higher court, also called for the politician to be cleared, saying his criticism was aimed at Islam as a religion and not at Muslims.
The minority government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte's Liberals and Christian Democrats relies on Wilders's Freedom Party to pass legislation. It plans to cut immigration, a key issue for Wilders's party, which more than doubled its representation in parliament in last year's elections and is now the third largest group of the 10 in the lower chamber.
"The ruling is clear and in line with the prosecutors' demands," Rutte said in a Twitter posting. "It's great news for Geert Wilders, with whom we're cooperating well."
The Netherlands has about 850,000 Muslims, according to Dutch statistics bureau data from 2006. Most are of Turkish or Moroccan origin. The country's population is 16.7 million.
The case is no. 425046-09 in the Amsterdam district court.

This Wine Is Rated:
A velvety red, offering ripe cherry, licorice and green olive flavors that come together on the firm-textured finish and linger nicely, balancing fruit and savory notes. Best from 2013 through 2016. 3,443 cases made. –HS
(from deep volcanic ash and loess): Bright red with ruby highlights. Plush and sweet but sappy too, with a distinctly low-pH mouthfeel to the cool flavors of berries, licorice, flowers and garrigue. Very suave syrah in an approachable style, finishing with restrained sweetness, rather light tannins and very good length. (There's very little new oak in any of these syrahs, noted proprietor/winemaker David O'Reilly.)

So, while the Dap-Kings did their thing — including recording tracks on Winehouse's "Back to Black" and Ronson's "Version," and backing up the tabloid-fodder singer on a tumultuous U.S. tour last spring and a few high-profile gigs with Ronson — Jones was calmly doing hers. The 51-year-old Jones was tapped by Washington to record the soundtrack for and perform in his recently released directorial debut, "The Great Debaters," though she downplays her role, calling it "that stuff with Denzel." She felt comfortable enough to turn down Lou Reed when he asked her to tour with him for two months, and when Jones mentions the Weinstein brothers, you'd think she was a longtime friend of the family.
"Harvey loves me," she says. "I did his wedding [to Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman]....I'm there, singing 'At Last' because Harvey asked me to and, lo and behold, who am I singing to? Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony!"
Jones isn't even rattled by questions about being perhaps "passed over" by the same popular music press that has heaped credit upon Winehouse and uberproducer Ronson for the birth of a supposedly new, "retro soul" sound. This in spite of the fact that the sound in question was produced by none other than Jones' own Dap-Kings, whose work on "Back to Black" included providing instrumentals on the hit single "Rehab." Instead, Jones sounds genuinely thankful about it all — a sentiment that might have something to do with some major props she received from the cat-eyed British chanteuse.
"I read this interview where Amy said that I — Sharon Jones — inspired her," recalls Jones. "I was like, wow. That changed my whole outlook about how I felt about her and Mark. I mean, I'm here saying that Aretha and James Brown and Tina Turner inspired me, and she's saying that's what got her into singing — me and the Dap-Kings? Then, hey, that's a big plus for us."

- Conference date: 29 Aug - 1 Sep 1999
- Location: Kobe-Sanda (Japan)
Two-dimensional (2-D) vibrational correlation spectroscopy has now advanced to the stage of realizing many of its touted advantages. Those advantages primarily are: elucidation of chemical interactions of functional groups, simplification of complex spectra, enhancement of spectral resolution by spreading over the second dimension and establishing unambiguous assignments through cross-correlation. Three basic methods have been employed to attain these advantages: dynamical correlation, statistical correlation and canonical correlation analysis. The most popular of these has been dynamical correlation which requires a perturbation due to some stimulus that results in time-dependent fluctuations of spectra. These types of correlations may be applied to almost any form of spectroscopy, yet they have mostly been applied to what may be considered to be forms of high resolution spectroscopic methods, NMR and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy. However, their usage is even more necessary in low resolution forms of spectroscopy. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a good example of such a low resolution form for which 2-D correlation spectroscopy is almost required in order to understand the interactions of fundamental vibrations originating in the MIR region. Also, NIR bands often display anharmonic effects making band assignments extremely difficult. There have been limited applications of 2-D correlation to NIR spectroscopy, but there is a need for many more. The results of some applications will be discussed, along with the future potential of this technique in NIR spectroscopy.

In the locker room at halftime, Sparano had a simple message about finishing the job. It's a common theme. "He always says for us to play as if we're 17 again," says rookie cornerback Sean Smith. "Just go out like you did when you were a kid and have fun."
At the beginning of the second half, the Dolphins were six yards from the end zone when quarterback Chad Henne called a time-out. Sparano charged onto the field. He slapped his playlist and yelled at Henne: "What the fuck are you doing?"
On the next play, the Dolphins looked ready to run the ball. But Henne dropped back, and receiver Greg Camarillo sneaked across the field into the corner of the end zone with nobody around. Unfortunately the pass fell short.
Sparano put his hands on his hips and turned away, a look of disgust covering his face. He ordered a field goal; still, the Dolphins remained down, 21-13.
The Dolphins had a chance to close in with about three minutes left in the third quarter. Again, there was no risk-taking. Henne dropped back, unloaded, and hit receiver Brian Hartline. The Dolphins scored: 21-19.
Sparano then took one of those crazy risks. He sent the offense back out to go for two. The coach had figured something out: The Patriots had been leaving the left side of the end zone open. So he sent tight end Anthony Fasano there again. Henne aimed for him, but linemen got a hand on the ball, which bounced near no one.
Tom Brady was about to get the ball back with plenty of time left to effectively end the Dolphins' season and destroy Sparano's second year.
But neither team scored for much of the fourth quarter. With about three minutes left in the game, the Dolphins got a chance. Henne connected on a trio of long passes, and the Dolphins found themselves on the Patriots' 28-yard line — nearly close enough for a field goal that would have put them up by a point.
During a time-out, Sparano went over to talk to Henne. Take no chances was the message. Three running plays followed, and then kicker Dan Carpenter nailed a 41-yard field goal that gave the team a 22-21 lead.
With about a minute left and no time-outs, Brady threw the first ball to his running back waiting near the sideline for 11 yards. On the next play, Brady dropped back again. The Dolphins blitzed, and defensive end Jason Taylor snuck up behind Brady. He grabbed the quarterback by the ankles. Brady made one last desperate throw — his season too might be on the line. The pass floated. The Dolphins' Channing Crowder easily grabbed it.
Conservative Sparano had won. His decisions to avoid the wildcat offense and run down the clock near the end of the game suddenly looked brilliant.
At his postgame news conference, Sparano walked up to the podium wearing sunglasses and the white windbreaker. He looked just as disgruntled as ever and said simply: "Whaddaya got?"
In the back of the room, Jeanette stood next to her daughter Ryan and son Tony. Jeanette looked giddy, smiling widely and clenching her hands in front of her face.
The media pool of about 40, characteristically afraid of Sparano, mostly asked him about the game.
"I think the big push this week was just the amount of passion it takes," he responded. "We knew we were in the hump. We had to come out here, and we had to win a big ball game, and we did. We'll see where this thing goes."
Sparano also talked about salvaging a season. "We know that you are only as good as your last at bat," he said. "We just got a good one."
He then turned to leave, and his sunglasses slid down his nose. He used his thumb and forefinger to push them back up.
A week later, the Dolphins pulled out another close win, over Jacksonville. Sparano's team largely skipped risky plays, and the wildcat offense was never employed in the 14-10 victory.
The following morning, this past Monday, Sparano met the press looking a bit haggard. Without his regular baseball hat, it was clear his hair had thinned considerably in his second year as coach. But the Dolphins are 7-6 now, with a decent shot at the playoffs.
Sparano answered questions somewhat more pleasantly than usual. Asked about the playoffs, he answered quickly. "There's too much football left for a lot of teams. There's still three games left for everybody," he said. "You really are in this little bunker right now. That's kind of where you need to be. You need to live here right now."
Afterward, Sparano headed back upstairs, likely to study the tapes in his dark office, where he'll spend most of his time for the next few weeks.

City Council President Kathy Lantry, who has worked with Coleman since both were elected to the council in 1997, said that he was faced early in his first term with the task of righting St. Paul's fiscal house as state aid was cut and reserves dried up after a decade without tax hikes.
"We were able to maintain most city services, although it wasn't without pain, " Lantry said. "Chris came into office and every fund had been raided and shift accomplished. He made some really hard choices."
In Coleman's first three years, the property tax levy rose annually by 8.6 percent, 14.6 percent and 9 percent. Business licenses, permits and other fees went up.
But city departments also were audited to root out wasteful practices, and services like recreation centers were consolidated to save money. He pressed for a budget that pays for services with permanent revenues, not one-time fixes.
"I see a traditional liberal DFLer when it comes to social issues, but a conservative mayor when it comes to managing, " said Chamber President Matt Kramer, a former chief of staff to Gov. Tim Pawlenty. "I've only seen two budgets so far and I have nits, but they've been structurally balanced and they've been thoughtful."
Another Republican who professes to be a Coleman fan is Chris Georgacas, former state GOP party chairman and president and CEO of Goff Public, a St. Paul public relations firm co-founded by Coleman's father in the 1960s.
"Chris is a passionate liberal, there's no question, but as a City Council member and as mayor he's also been practical, works to accommodate people and reach positive solutions, " Georgacas said.
School initiatives
One of Coleman's prime goals as mayor has been to close the achievement gap between white and minority students. He added an education liaison to his staff, launched the Second Shift initiative to boost after-school programs at libraries and recreation centers, and worked with St. Paul Schools Superintendent Valeria Silva to develop Sprockets, an out-of-school program offering students a choice of activities to try out.
Said Latimer, a longtime mentor to Coleman: "He's the only mayor ever, including me, who ever ran right from the beginning and talked about kids and the importance of this city as a livable and opportunity-laden place for kids."
Jim Ivey, a Lowertown software company owner who ran for the City Council in 2011 as a Green Party candidate, counters that Coleman lacks a strategic vision to reduce poverty. He said the mayor isn't creating enough living-wage jobs and lacks a liaison in his office to help small businesses.
"He's not creating a pathway for people to get out of poverty and be sustainable, " Ivey said.
In answer, Coleman points to the school initiatives. "That is my long-term antipoverty program, " he said. "If I've got a kid that successfully completes high school, goes to college, gets a job, there's nothing more important that we can do for that child."
Eva Ng, a conservative businesswoman who lost by a large margin to Coleman in the 2009 mayoral race, said the Central Corridor light-rail line was a costly mistake and blames the mayor for losing the Ford plant, Macy's and Cupcake, a popular restaurant that planned to open on Grand Avenue before going to the Mall of America. "All of these things don't bode well, " she said.
Statewide chances
Unlike four years ago, when he considered a run for governor in the middle of his campaign against Ng, Coleman said he's not thinking right now about his political prospects. If the time was right, he said, he could see himself seeking statewide office — although perhaps not anytime soon. "We have a good governor who I support, " he said.
"Do I wake up every morning going, 'I've got to figure out how I can do that or how I maneuver that,' or whatever? That's just not who I am," he said. "But I think I have the kind of profile that would really work well on a statewide race, if that were an opportunity to come up."
University of Minnesota political science Prof. Larry Jacobs said that Coleman has been "a steady competent manager during turbulent times" but questioned whether he's distinguished himself enough in DFL circles to be a favorite for the next job opening.

While it can be tempting to go it alone when buying or selling a home, the vast majority of real estate consumers ultimately recognize the many benefits of working with a professional real estate agent. According to Lexington, Mass.-based REALTOR® Kristin Brown Orr, while it may initially seem appealing to save some money, pursuing a real estate transaction without the assistance of an experienced real estate professional could actually end up costing you money…and causing lots of unnecessary stress.Orr offers the following important reasons for working with a credible real estate agent and what they'll bring to the table:
• Professionalism. Agents work for brokerages and are licensed professionals, Orr explains, which means they have a broker to answer to and are bound by law to act in the best interest of their clients. "Licensed agents have access to the tools of the trade – such as The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Database – that is available only to professionals as well as the latest marketing techniques," she explains. "They also have the benefit of a wide network of other real estate agents, mortgage brokers and attorneys from which to draw information."
• Negotiation. Negotiating can be delicate or tedious between buyers and sellers, but real estate agents have specific experience in this arena, says Orr. "An agent can play the role of the 'bad guy' when it comes to negotiating, avoiding hard feelings between the buyer and seller. Real estate agents are skilled in conveying clients' concerns in a professional manner to ensure happiness for both parties – and ultimately that sale."
• Knowledge. Real estate agents are highly knowledgeable when it comes to important information such as where the best neighborhoods are, what school is being closed or re-built, new developments or subdivisions popping up, and other critical local information. As Orr says, experienced agents know what comparable homes looked like, what they sold for and why. "A good agent knows the dirty little secrets and coveted features of different neighborhoods and communities. That agent may just have that 'gem' tucked up his or her sleeve that a buyer is looking for."

State, local officials tour $39 million Loray redevelopment project
The thud of hammer blows and the buzz of power tools echoed through the Loray Mill redevelopment project Monday as state and local officials toured the century-old structure, deep into a $39 million renovation.
"It's incredible what (developers) have been able to accomplish here at Loray Mill," said Susan Kluttz, secretary of the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources. "It took incredible vision to take this mill from what it was to what it is now."
Kluttz was in Gastonia touring the first phase of Loray Mill's historic redevelopment. More than 100 state and local officials, media personnel and project developers toured the first floor.

Without a doubt, the biggest regret we hear from newlyweds is they didn't hire a videographer—but wish they had. And we have never, ever heard a couple say they wish they hadn't captured these magic moments on film. Today, wedding videos take on a cinematographic feel, and lame music and awkward sound bites from guests are relatively rare, so don't worry about the cheese factor you may be anticipating. Okay, now that you're (hopefully!) convinced you should hire a pro to film your wedding, here are the 11 latest and greatest trends in videography you should ask about.
Nobody (besides you) wants to watch your entire wedding on repeat. The rest of your friends and family only really want a highlight reel. "That's why short-form wedding films and trailers are trending and will only become more popular," says videographer Nathan Delack of Chicago-based Delack Media Group, who has worked with Oprah Winfrey as well as thousands of brides.

Well, I'm an eccentric person. I am very open-minded and will try anything once. I can't help but quote lines from the things I like. I prefer to listen rather than talk, but not shy enough to speak my mind. I have a story for just about any conversation we'll get into. I will make corny and cheesy jokes to get a smile out of someone and sarcastic and dry jokes to make me smile, but know my limits.Currently, I'm a cook at a casual restaurant and would love to make food for that special someone. I'm finishing up my degree in Crime Scene Technology. From there, I plan to join the police force and continue on a degree in Criminology.My interests consist of art, movies/TV, music, animals, games, and comics. I love Transformers and have hundreds of figures and comics. My second passion is zombies, whether book; game; or movie. I like to draw and hope to airbrush some day. My favorite artist is Luis Royo and like to draw things along his line of work. Dali is a close second.At night, I'll sometimes be on my PC or PS3. I play just about anything. Reading is another joy. I try to get a chapter a day in. I'll usually be reading dark fantasy or history. Right now, I'm reading about Rommel.You must be an animal lover, because I have a lot and plan on more. Currently, I have a Doberman Pinscher, fish, rabbits, a corn-snake, and a Guinea pig, but I've had other dogs, scorpions, a hedgehog, frogs, and chinchillas in the past. I dream of getting a skunk and a tarantula someday. I've worked at a pet-store for years and have a strong interest and good understanding in caring for most pets. After all, who could say no to those faces?I'm not much into bars; nightclubs; or beaches, but will go if you wanted to. I do like exploring the outdoors; sightseeing; concerts, and conventions: and yes, I will wear a costume. Otherwise, I'm a layed-back, easygoing guy and have no problem chilling at home. Message me to learn more.
What am I looking in a woman? I would have to say me (hahaha). But seriously, someone who can tolerate my "jestering" and my collection. To share the moonlight with and take adventures and risks for new experiences and to travel to new places. A woman that I can cherish and protect whom will also respect our space. To have deep conversations with but to bring each other back down to Earth. Someone who is not afraid to be different and a little dark. The only things I don't like are smoking of any kind and someone who's religious to the point of it being offensive.

The imprinted H19 gene, which encodes an untranslated RNA, lies at the end of a cluster of imprinted genes in the mouse. Imprinting of the insulin-2 and insulin-like growth factor 2 genes, which lie about 100 kilobases upstream of H19, can be disrupted by maternal inheritance of a targeted deletion of the H19 gene and its flanking sequence. Animals inheriting the H19 mutation from their mothers are 27% heavier than those inheriting it from their fathers. Paternal inheritance of the disruption has no effect, which presumably reflects the normally silent state of the paternal gene. The somatic overgrowth of heterozygotes for the maternal deletion is attributed to a gain of function of insulin-like growth factor 2, rather than a loss of function of H19.

Why Darden Restaurants (DRI) Stock Is Lower Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Darden Restaurants (DRI - Get Report) stock is sliding on Friday after missing earnings and revenue estimates in its fourth quarter.
Before the bell, shares had slipped 3.2% to $47.93.
Over the three months to May, the company earned 65 cents a share and generated sales of $1.65 billion. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters forecast 94 cents a share and $2.33 billion.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ---------------------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates DARDEN RESTAURANTS INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate DARDEN RESTAURANTS INC (DRI) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. Among the primary strengths of the company is its reasonable valuation levels, considering its current price compared to earnings, book value and other measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: DRI Ratings Report

- 1 small sugar pumpkin, halved, seeds and stringy fibers removed and reserved
- 6 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 3 cup(s) homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
- 3 cup(s) water
- 1 sprig(s) fresh thyme
- 1 small (4-ounce) parsnip, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 small (6-ounce) Yukon gold potato, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 small (4-ounce) turnip, peeled and coarsely chopped

- 1/2 cup(s) dry white wine
- 3 tablespoon(s) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon(s) packed light-brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon(s) coarse salt
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pumpkin halves, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 50 minutes. Scoop out flesh, and puree in a food processor (you should have 2 cups).
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add reserved seeds and fibers from pumpkin, and cook for 4 minutes. Add stock, water, and thyme, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 9 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin puree, parsnip, potato, and turnip, and cook for 5 minutes. Add shallots, and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add wine, and cook until liquid has reduced by half.
- Strain pumpkin-seed mixture, reserving broth and discarding solids. Add broth to pumpkin-wine mixture. Bring to a simmer; cook 20 minutes. Let cool.
- Pass soup through a food mill into a clean saucepan, or puree in a food processor in small batches until smooth. (If soup does not reach desired consistency using a food processor, press it through a fine sieve to remove any remaining lumps.) Heat soup in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in cream, sugar, salt, and pepper, and serve.

Football in Thailand
Football is clearly the number one sport in Thailand and the national association can look back upon a number of success stories. In 2002, the national team qualified for the finals of the Asian qualifying round for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/ Japan?, while in 1997 and 1999, the U-17 team reached the finals of the FIFA U-17 World Championship. Thailand also participated in the Olympic Games in 1956 (Melbourne) and 1968 (Mexico City). The following players and coaches have been instrumental in the development of Thai football: Chanvit Polchivin (currently national team coach), Withaya Loahakul (player for Gamba Osaka, Japan, Hertha Berlin, Germany, and now part of the national coaching set-up), Warawan Chitawanich (currently coach of the national U-17 team) and Piyapong Pue-on (Lucky Gold Star, South Korea, currently coach of the U-18 team).
Second Goal project
After revising the original project, on 21 March The Football Association of Thailand presented the Goal Bureau with plans for a new headquarters adjacent to the artificial turf pitch laid at the national training centre in Nongiok under the first project. The three-storey building will give the association autonomy and the necessary space for professional leadership and administrative structures.
Use of FAP funds
Financing of Goal project
Association headquarters in Nongiok

April 11, 2011 TSS One Comment
Half of the Total Soccer Show was at RFK Stadium Saturday night to see DC United draw 1-1 with LA Galaxy, thanks to a 90th minute spot kick both won and scored by Charlie Davies.
We have post-game audio from the DC United locker room, where Taylor spoke to Davies about the penalty kick (dive or no dive?) the goal celebration (it was "Weekend at Bernie's") and whether Davies should start for DC (Davies says yes, Albert disagrees). Taylor also asked Josh Wolff about getting scissor-tackled by David Beckham and Santino Quaranta about squaring up to the world's most famous footballer.
While Taylor was hob-nobbing with players, Daryl was down in the lower bowl enjoying temporary membership of La Barra Brava, DC's noisiest supporter group. He got interviews with a couple of Barra members, audio from the game and from the legendary half-time drum circle, and a lesson in when to bounce and when not to bounce.
Later in the show we discuss Team TSS's 7-0 win over CAPS FC in the CVSA, where Josh did a Charlie Davies, winning and scoring a penalty, and Albert helped himself to a hat-trick.
Last but never least, we close with a slightly modified version of the Wikipedia Game, with thanks to Bill Healy for the suggested change. Click play above to listen, or follow the link below. Better yet, be one of the cool kids and subscribe via iTunes:

While describing the difference between Catholic and Calvinist soteriology, Peter Kreeft has said: "It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can't refuse."
Kudos to Matt O'Reilly for finding this quote.
A One-Stop Shop for All Things Biblical and Christian
While describing the difference between Catholic and Calvinist soteriology, Peter Kreeft has said: "It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can't refuse."
Kudos to Matt O'Reilly for finding this quote.
Calvin was a theocrat. It is not simply Catholic vs.Calvinist. Calvin was not a reformer. He was a supplantist who wanted his opinions to replace traditional Christianity. He fought Protestantism/Lutheranism as much as he fought the RC establishment.
His goal: Control of secular government.
Surprisingly (to me) I find myself agreeing with Nonc, above. I don't find it odd that Calvin's theology ended with Geneva; I do find it odd that any Christian would consider that experiment a good thing. It should certainly make one go back and question Calvin's theology.
Peter Kreeft's arguments for Roman Catholicism are very weak; he should stick with just "mere" Christianity and he does fine. As far as the Godfather comment goes, it is just another cheap shot and failure on the side of Arminians to understand Luther, Calvin, or Biblical Theology for that matter.
Bill I think we understand the Augustinian and Calvinistic notions about God's sovereignty well enough. We simply don't think they comport with what the Bible says about God's sovereignty. It's not an accident that absolutely no early Jewish interpreters of the OT, including interpreters of Isaiah understood the sovereignty of God the way that Augustine, Luther and Calvin did. This includes the early Jewish Christian interpreters who are responsible for writing most of the NT. BW3
Dr. Witherington,
How many lay Christians really know why Calvin explained election in his Institutes for example? I bet there are very few. Calvin taught his parishioners about election because they were not understanding why some became Christians while others didn't who were exposed to the same gospel message. As I have been taught, he told them that those who didn't respond, didn't do so not because they were more wicked but because of God's electing grace. Because the moment you presume Prevenient Grace, then one can say that the one who does respond are better than the ones who don't. Well we know that there is no one who can boast on "that day" for why they are in God's kingdom, but if we all have been enabled to exercise faith or not, then one can say that those who exercise faith did so by their own awakened will which can be attributed as a good of their own. I'm not saying that we in the reformed church don't believe in exercising a choose in coming to faith in Christ; it's how one explains the nature of the choosing that differentiates us in the Church.
Also if the will that is enabled to believe does in fact believe, then that is amazing how just an enabled will in a fallen state can trust in the Word of God when in our original pristine state in the garden with no proclivities to sin we didn't believe God at his Word.
Bill I am well aware of this sort of reasoning. I've read Calvin's Institutes, and Jonathan Edwards, and Martin Luther, and Augustine, and Berkoff, and the Hodges, and Warfield, and Van Til, and I could go on. The problem with this whole line of reasoning is that it assumes that there must be one single rational explanation, in every case, for why some people accept the Gospel and some do not. But frankly, that's not true. There are many different explanations for why some accept the Gospel, and others do not, and in no case does it have anything to do with one person being 'better' or 'more meritorious' than another. Some people accept Christ because they have become convinced of the truth of the Gospel. Others accept Christ because they have fallen in love with Jesus. Still others have accepted Christ because they desperately want to avoid hell. Still others have accepted Christ because they were tired of resisting the arguments of their friends….. and I could tell you a hundred other stories, all true. Some people even accept Christ on a bet, and discover after the fact that they have accidentally done something incredible. The most serious problem with the whole notion that prevenient grace means predetermination is of course that love doesn't work that way. Love must woo, but it sure doesn't manipulate behind the scenes. If something is predetermined, it is not love, because love must be freely given and freely received. Wesleyans believe whole-heartedly in universal pre-venient grace. It enables a person to either accept or reject the Gospel freely. Why is the accepting not meritorious? Let me leave you with one example. Suppose you couldn't breathe without an iron lung. Now the lung doesn't give you life, nor does it determine what you will do with your life, but it provides you with the necessary presupposition to go on breathing and living. You certainly wouldn't claim that the iron lung did the living for you or made the decisions for you. But without it, you would be dead!! Blessings, BW3
In the question of why some accept the gospel and some do not, I find it interesting aside from scriptural rationale that Calvinists find it comforting that God elects some and not others as the safe alternative. A simplification to be sure, but if there are questions on why some, why not some, why would some feel more comfortable about a God acting capriciously towards individuals rather than individuals reacting capriciously toward God?

Cake Wrecks
You definitely won't see anything from Ace of Cakes on this website, but it is just hilarious nonetheless. It's amazing how horribly wrong cakes can go sometimes. I think my favorite is the one that says "Nobody Loves You." Ouch! But if you had to hear that statement, what better delivery than on a cake? I'll go so far as to say that all bad news should come in frosting; that would make life a little sweeter.

A fellow shooter with my local IDPA invited me out to a membership range about an hour east of Denver for some shooting. Took along my rifle in the hopes of running it a little.
Unfortuantely the range has specific membership range use policies, and rifles/carbines are not allowed on the action pistol berms (yet it is the same place they hold the 3 gun matches...odd). Might be a matter of getting vetted by the ROs to do QCB carbine shooting. If I decide to get a membership, which I probably will, I'll have to look into that.
They do have multiple rifle ranges (200y sight in, 600y steel, 1000m large bore...)
I ran about 60 rounds at the sight in range off the bench, and still hate irons Freakin' shotgun pattern. 6x scope got me a 3" 40 round group shooting reman LC 55gr., that I can live with.
Wondered over to the steel range and started plinking away at the 12-18" gongs at 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 - bench or prone (I prefer prone).
I have a new respect for the itty bitty .22cal AR rifle now. I thought for sure that any hits past 400 would be luck. Not so much. We determined that we were hitting that 600 a lot more than we thought. Had one guy out of three spotting, and you could definitely spot the misses, but very rarely could you hear that little 55gr thwak the 18" gong @ 500 and out), especially if someone else was sending a round down range. Not sure what energy it had left when it got there, but we were workin' it over pretty well.
Mine ran smooth, and shooting both prone and bench left a nice consistent pile of brass at 5 O'clock and not too far away. I probably could have laid a 5 gallon bucket on it's side and landed them all right inside.
I need to find an experienced shooter to run my rifle to get an honest review. The comments by the others were "It's a lot lighter than it looks and shoots nice. Stiff trigger (PSA LPK), but crisp."
My Russian POSP scope, which I have now verified holds zero after multiple removes and installs. I spaced bringing out my camera, so here is a visual example of my FOV. I had added 1 click to my elevation (IIRC 1/2 MOA on the dial) while I was working the 400, then just used the hold over for 600. There is a third chevron where the circle is.
example target in scope.jpg
The other two guys I was with had some nice rifles as well, and I think we each cost each other some money, I see a Giselle trigger (SSAE) in my future, and I really like the ACOG optic ($1200 :shudder: ) - I am still waiting on my backordered Aimpoint. Once I figured out his optic (I did not see the range graduations under the horseshoe) I was able to hammer away with that one as well.
The third guy, I did not get to shoot his, but he was running a 16" with a 3x9 Bushnell and was keeping a sub MOA 3 shot @100 shooting 75gr Hornady TAP. Amazing the difference between Silver Bear and quality ammo (SB was getting 2" groups @ 100). He also had an AAC can for his 9mm, and I am impressed. Even with supersonic ammo, I've heard cap guns that were louder, and the subsonic...the action on the pistol and AR made more noise. WOW is all I have to say about that.
I only had 2 malfunctions - double feeds, and I am pretty sure it was one of my PMAGS. I am going to have to number them to verify.
Overall the rifle aspect of the day was fun. I wished I had brought my PSL. Would have been nice to work that one at the 600. The guy that invited me is planning a 1000m shoot day, I am going to try to tag along with him when he does.
I am down to 190 rounds, so my AR days are over until I get my reloads done. Still waiting on my dies. I have 2k rounds of new LC brass, 1k Hornady 55gr spire point, and 500 Sierra 77gr HPBT to load up. Every 3 days I learn something new about reloading rifle, and now I am thinking I need to get a loaded case go/no go gauge. My hopes of turning out 500 rounds a day on my progressive are dwindling fast.
The handgun...not going to go into much detail, but I starting having nasty issues with FTFeeds. Starting to loose my faith in my Baby Eagles. My primary is getting hard chromed right now to cure the rust issue (I've never had any problems with her - 7k rounds), but my two backups are giving me fits. Poly is tearing up my fingers, and my BU steel evidently needs a new recoil spring to start with. Poly even had a FTF jam when I loaded back up with my carry ammo (that was a first). She did fine during the drills, then I switched over to the steel due to multiple blisters on my hand for the mock stages.
