Sporting Kansas City center back Matt Besler joined Nate Bukaty and Steven St. John on Sports Radio 810 WHB's The Border Patrol this morning.
The guys chatted about Besler's offseason plans and the long year he had in 2014, highlighted by a trip back to his alma mater for the first time in three years and partying with the president.
Listen to the full podcast below:
The 2014 MLS Cup Final is this weekend featuring the LA Galaxy and the New England Revolution. Although Sporting Kansas City's not playing in their second consecutive Cup final, that doesn't mean that Kansas City soccer doesn't have representation in the game.
In fact, six players, coaches or executives from Sunday's finalists are a part of Kansas City soccer history. Let's start at the top.
Both LA Galaxy president Chris Klein (pictured, right) and New England Revolution general manager Mike Burns played for Kansas City. Klein featured more than 200 times for the then-Wizards and was a part of the team that won the MLS Cup / Supporters' Shield double in 2000. Burns joined the squad a year later and played 43 League matches for the club over the course of two years.
Moving down the ladder, let's look at the Galaxy's coaching staff. Three members of the staff have Kansas City soccer ties. Prior to the Galaxy's hire of Bruce Arena as head coach in 2008, the former U.S. Men's National Team moonlighted as color commentator for Kansas City Wizards' television broadcasts. Arena worked a handful of games alongside play-by-play announcer Sean Wheelock.
Although not technically on Arena's first team staff, LA Galaxy II head coach Curt Onalfo managed Kansas City from 2007-2009. And last, but not least, we get to Dave Sarachan, Arena's long-time assistant coach. The two worked together at the University of Virginia, at D.C. United, on the USMNT staff and now with the Galaxy. But before Sarachan began his illustrious coaching career, the New York native spent a year playing indoor soccer for the Kansas City Comets in the original Major Indoor Soccer League.
Kansas City's final connection to Sunday's MLS Cup Final is New England Revolution striker Teal Bunbury (pictured, left). Peter Vermes drafted Bunbury in the first round of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft after a standout career at the University of Akron. In four seasons with Kansas City, Bunbury played 89 regular season matches with 19 goals scored and six assists. Bunbury played in two playoff matches last year for Sporting KC including 77 minutes against the Revolution in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Sunday's MLS Cup Final kicks off at 2 p.m. CT from StubHub Center. The match can be seen nationally on on ESPN and UniMas.
Is there a Kansas City soccer connection that we missed? Post it in the comment section below!
In the build up to MLS Cup on Sunday (2 p.m. CT on ESPN), end-of-the-year awards are being handed out by American soccer scribes and several of Sporting Kansas City's top performers earned high honors for their play in 2014.
Goal USA editor Thomas Floyd ranked the Top 10 players at all 11 positions from Major League Soccer's regular season for Backheel.com, with five Sporting Kansas City starters securing top-four recognition at their respective spots on the field:
- Seth Sinovic: No. 1 left back
- Benny Feilhaber: No. 1 attacking midfielder
- Matt Besler: No. 2 left centerback
- Graham Zusi: No. 3 right winger
- Dom Dwyer: No. 4 striker
Dwyer, who set a single-season team record and finished second on the MLS scoring chart with 22 goals, was also named Major League Soccer's Most Improved Player on SBIsoccer.com.
Dom Dwyer's first full season as a starter for Sporting Kansas City saw him break out and become one of the league's top goal scorers. The English forward bagged 22 goals and one assist, the second most in MLS, making him the runaway choice for SBI MLS Most Improved Player of the Year. Dwyer also finished the 2014 regular season with the fourth-most shots, third most shots on goal, and third most game winning goals. In addition, Dwyer's 10 goals on the road was tied for the most in the league with Obafemi Martins, showing that Dwyer's dogged and determined style was the same no matter which stadium he played in.
Looking for a place to watch MLS Cup on Sunday? Look no further than BurgerFi in downtown Lawrence (918 Mass Street).
Sporting KC's Chance Myers and Erik Palmer-Brown will be on hand with the MLS Cup from 2-3:30 p.m. CT. Fans are invited to come to BurgerFi to take pictures with both Myers, Palmer-Brown and the MLS Cup as well as get autographs from the Sporting KC players.
Both Myers and Palmer-Brown are in the midst of offseason rehab after suffering season-ending injuries in 2014. Palmer-Brown made his professional debut on May 18 in a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire and appeared in six matches in all competitions this past year. Myers, who turns 27 on Sunday, is the club's longest tenured player. Kansas City drafted the former UCLA Bruin with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. Myers started 26 games in 2013 including all five MLS Cup Playoff matches en route to the club's second MLS Cup championship.
The 2014 MLS Cup pits host LA Galaxy against the New England Revolution. Sunday's match features some of the top stars in Major League Soccer including all-time MLS an USMNT goalscoring leader Landon Donovan, 2014 MLS MVP Robbie Keane, U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Jermaine Jones and MLS MVP finalist Lee Nguyen. The match will kick off at 2 p.m. CT on ESPN and UniMas.

Sporting Kansas City striker Dom Dwyer is featured in ESPN The Magazine's "Big Money" Issue, which hit newsstands on Friday, as one of six athletes whose spending habits were tracked and analyzed by senior writer Sam Alipour.
To find out how athletes really spend their money, we asked six -- from an NBA star who makes $12 million a year to a college swimmer using grant money -- to record several days' worth of purchases...diaries from Andrew Bogut (NBA), Ryan Hunter-Reay (IndyCar), Justin Forsett (NFL), Dom Dwyer (MLS), Tyler Latorre (MiLB) and Kendyl Stewart (USC swimming).
Major League Soccer's second-highest scorer tallied 22 goals and took Sporting KC to the playoffs. Says the British bachelor, who makes $92,500 a year: "I'm a guy who focuses on the game and has fun after too." He has the club's co-MVP title -- and the bar tabs -- to prove it.
Dwyer's transactions were logged over the final five days of October, which included a World Series game in Kansas City and a playoff road trip to New Jersey. To see the full feature, the Dec. 8 issue of ESPN The Magazine is available for $5.99 at area retailers. Readers can also purchase access to a digital edition for $3.99 on Google Play or by using the ESPN The Magazine App for iPad and iPhone.
Sporting Kansas City Defender of the Year Seth Sinovic joined Kansas City Mayor Sly James at the annual Mayor's Christmas Tree lighting ceremony on Friday at Crown Center. Sinovic -- a Leawood, Kansas native -- was this year's featured celebrity and the event served to support the Mayor's Christmas Tree Fund (donate here), which helps as many as 7,000 local families each year.
Sinovic's speech: Watch Now
The tree is known as one of the nation's largest at 100 feet high and seven tons in weight. The decorations include more than 1,200 ornaments and 7,200 lights, while its wood is turned into commemorative ornaments following each holiday season.
What do soccer and racing have in common?
Speed, reaction time and Continental Tire.
Continental Tire gave six MLS standouts an opportunity to win a 2014 Lamborghini. A task easier said than done, so we called in a specialist: TUDOR United SportsCar Championship driver Townsend Bell, who was able to provide insight for the soccer standouts to help ease the transition from the pitch to the pedal. The six participants were split between the Eastern and Western Conference to emulate the MLS regular season. The athlete with the fastest time on each side of the bracket would advance to the championship.
Sporting KC winger Graham Zusi was joined by Sean Johnson and Giles Barnes to represent the East. Chandler Hoffman, Stephen Keel and Dan Kennedy were seleceted to represent the West. We all know and love Zusi for his quickness with a soccer ball at his feet, but let's see how he does with a steering wheel in hand...

Top of the list. That's where Sporting Park lands in Stadium Journey magazine's evaluation of the best stadium experiences in Major League Soccer.
Released earlier today, the rankings are based on the following factors: food/beverage, atmosphere, location, fans, access and overall return on investment. Stadium Journey correspondent Cory Sims reviewed the state-of-the-art stadium earlier this year, writing that it is "one of the best venues to watch a sporting event of any kind."
Sporting Kansas City's home field earned the No. 1 spot over a trio of Cascadia challengers. Providence Park (Portland Timbers), CenturyLink Field (Seattle Sounders) and BC Place (Vancouver Whitecaps) rounded out the top four.
We've all seen Graham Zusi's skills on the soccer field. The MLS All-Star has a lethal right foot and a speed burst that would give Barry Allen whiplash. Don't believe us? Check out Major League Soccer's Superheroes series from this past Summer.
Now, the World Cup veteran will move from the soccer field to the race track to test his skills behind a Lamborghini.
Zusi is in a competition with five other MLS players in the series What'Cha Got, presented by Continental Tires. Three players from the Eastern Conference and three from the Western Conference are competing to see who can drive a Lamborghini the fastest around a race track. The driver with the quickest time gets the car.
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson currently leads the East with a time of 40.44. If Zusi beats Johnson, he'll advance to the finals against the LA Galaxy's Chandler Hoffman (41.81).
Zusi's episode will debut on ESPNFC Sunday night at 11 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
Looking for another reason to tune in to Sunday's episode? The folks at What'Cha Got have a signed Zusi jersey they'll be giving away to one lucky winner! To enter into the contest, tweet out Zusi's final race time using #WhatChaGotMLS. One correct contestant will be chosen to win the prize.
So what do you think? Will Zusi beat Johnson to advance to the finals? Let us know in the comments section below!

This rich and luxurious cream is highly effective on hair that is chemically treated or has a tendency to be dry or brittle.

Yucca Root Shampooing Cream also contains Wild Yam, which balances hormone production to help maintain normal hair growth and Peppermint Oil to stimulant the scalp. Ancient Traditions + Modern Technology.
Unknown (Submitted on 7th Dec 2014)
I just love Nick's Traditions line. This is by far my favorite shampoo that Nick makes.
It has a nice smell (fresh, crisp, clean and not so "girly"), it cleans my scalp and hair nicely, and it actually restored the natural color to my hair. After I washed my hair with the Traditions Yucca Root shampoo, I looked in the mirror and said, "the color of my hair is in HD!"
It lasts a long time, too, which is a very big plus. I'd give this product 100 stars if I could.
Kathy (Submitted on 5th Oct 2012)
I was useing one of the "no lather" products that happens to be all over your tv channels. Truely do not know what is the fuss! My hair never felt clean or manageable. Found this product in a sample kit and absolutely love it!
First, love the lather, nothing makes you feel clean like a good lather!! (also used the conditioner) My hair was completely manageable, had a nice shine with an overall healthy appearance!
I have color treated coarse, heavy hair.
Age 64 white female.
Deb (Submitted on 4th Aug 2012)
Ran across this product in my local ULTA store. I always try to use natural ingredients if possible and was attracted to the Yucca Root and Wild Yam and the Native American use of these ingredients for hair loss. I've used it for about 10 days, so far so good. My hair feels less brittle, more manageable so will continue to see if my hair shedding decreases.

As SEO specialists we sometimes forget that selling SEO to potential clients is nothing more than building links. The difference is that we need to actually talk to someone, a living, breathing body that will ask questions, ponder, and sometimes become a great client.

Observations from Chiefs' first half
August, 29, 2013
By Adam Teicher | ESPN.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Some observations at halftime from Arrowhead Stadium, where the Kansas City Chiefs lead the Green Bay Packers 13-6 in Thursday's preseason finale:
- Chase Daniel didn't inspire much confidence during training camp, and he finished the exhibition season on a down note. Daniel started at quarterback in place of Alex Smith, who, like the other starters, didn't play. Daniel forced a throw into coverage on the first offensive play of the game and the pass was intercepted. Daniel later took a sack on a second-and-2 play from the Green Bay 6. He had plenty of time to unload the ball but instead took an eight-yard loss, and the Chiefs had to settle for a field goal.
- Linebacker Frank Zombo is proving to be a nice free-agent signing. Because Pro Bowler Tamba Hali and Justin Houston are the starters at outside linebacker, Zombo is no threat to break into the lineup. But based on the way he's played in preseason, the Chiefs have reason to feel good about Zombo if he has to play. He had an interception and 27-yard return to set up a field goal. In earlier games, Zombo showed good pass-rush skills and the ability to get pressure on the quarterback.
- A knee injury that knocked Travis Kelce from the game will force the Chiefs to look for a tight end before the regular season begins. Kansas City already lost Tony Moeaki for an extended period with a shoulder injury.

A film about the English suffrage movement called "Suffragettes" is in development. No votes for women in Saudi municipal elections. One hundredth anniversary of English boycott of census by suffragettes, an event that was inspired by Ghandi. There's more suffrage news on the internet than ever before. The 100th anniversary of suffrage in the United States is in 2020, which isn't tomorrow, but it suggests that the interest will increase in time.

About the Film:
Directed by Patrice Chéreau. 1994. 144 mins, French with English subtitles.
When it was released I 1994, Patrice Chéreau's Queen Margot, based on the 1845 historical novel by Alexandre Dumas, garnered the Cannes Jury Prize, five César Awards and accolades for Isabelle Adjani's remarkable portrayal of Marguerite de Valois. When the young Catholic Queen "Margot" is forced to wed the Protestant Huguenot King Henri de Navarre (Daniel Auteuil), it is a political maneuver intended to reconcile the French, torn apart by religious wars. When Margot tries to escape with a new lover, she finds herself imprisoned by her powerful and ruthless family. Game of Thrones has nothing on this lush 16th-century royal saga, described (quite rightly) by Variety as "a frenzy of religious conflict, personal betrayal, raw passion and enough killing for all three parts of The Godfather."

Michael Mazourek has had an interest in growing plants since he was a toddler. Today he is the newly designated Calvin Noyes Keeney Professor of Plant Breeding. He has created some unique fruits and vegetables, like the Farmer's Daughter melon. He is also the proud creator of black and white cucumbers, reports Physorg.com.
Among recent releases from his lab: the Habanada pepper, a mild habanero that still packs a powerful flavor punch; the Farmer's Daughter melon, which tastes a little like pear and slips off the vine when ripe; and the black-spined white Salt and Pepper cucumber, which has garnered awards for its unexpectedly sweet flavor.
Current projects under way include purple snap peas and miniaturized vegetables with vivid colors, stripes and polka dots that he hopes will charm children and serve as "delicious, cleverly disguised vitamins."
Mazourek says there is a growing market for unusual vegetables. One of his biggest advocates is celebrity-chef Dan Barber, who introduces diners at his famous Blue Hill restaurant to Cornell creations like curled snap peas and Honeynut squash. Barber's input has also informed Mazourek's research, as he uses the chef's suggestions to create new varieties.
Beyond the funky flavors and colors, Mazourek's vegetables have practical purposes: nutritional content, disease and pest resistance, and suitability for organic and regional growing conditions.
"We're interested in the whole package — something that provides quality for the consumer and performs well for the farmer, with the minimal environmental impact," Mazourek said. "In organic farming, in particular, you have fewer crutches. It is largely up to the plant to be able to succeed on its own."

Wish Me Luck!
Hi everyone,
Since my hoyas are on a non-blooming streak, I thought I'd
share some exciting news with all of you. Last week, dad and I went to the local Career Link and I found a posting for a job in floral design at one of the three flower shops in town! So I picked up an application and handed it back in today! I'm excited because this will be my first job EVER :) . It's only a part time position but what could be better for a greenhorn like me lol. I may not be around as much if I get hired :( . At least it's getting colder now and gardening's starting to wind down. Oh, another off topic question: Does anyone here grow sweet autumn clematis? I'm thinking of putting it in the yard and letting it grow over the little porch where I have my hoyas in the summer. Sorry to ramble, I guess I'm excited!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Thanks, everyone!
Kelly, how long have you had your sweet autumn clematis? I've read the fragrance is heavenly and most people describe it as vanilla! That sounds plenty sweet to me!
Do you have a picture of it?
Pug and Jan, I've been waiting for a long time to see a job offering in a flower shop. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
I dug up a little runner from a coworkers clematis about 9 years ago and I've been cutting it back now for years- it grows like a weed! It just finished blooming recently. Wish I had taken a picture of it then- it just gets covered in little star-like flowers and does smell heavenly!

CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.

Blu-Ray Review: 'Gossip Girl: Season 3' Sports Skin-Deep DramaSubmitted by mattmovieman on August 24, 2010 - 7:37am
CHICAGO – "Gossip Girl" isn't a show, it's a living fashion spread. Everything in the frame is on sale, though at a price few viewers could afford. I suspect a large portion of the show's fans are the type of celebrity hounds who devour gossip columns, alternately envious and repulsed by the lives of the rich elite. Any pleasure to be derived from such a column is of an inherently guilty nature.
DVD Review: Season Two of 'Gossip Girl' With Blake Lively, Leighton MeesterSubmitted by BrianTT on August 20, 2009 - 10:36am

It's just another crazy year in the life of "Gossip Girl: The Complete Second Season," now available on DVD in a gorgeous box set from Warner Brothers.

July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 Enhanced 802.11 Security Date: 2008-07-10 Authors: Name Affiliations Address Phone email Dan Harkins Aruba Networks 1322 Crossman ave, +1 408 227 dharkins@arubanetworks. com Sunnyvale, CA 4500 Submission Slide 1 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 Abstract This document describes some missing features from 802.11 and proposes a way to add them to IEEE 802.11. Submission Slide 2 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 Security Services in 802.11 • Key Management – Authentication: A STA can prove its identity to the network and vice versa – Authorization and Access Control: Once authenticated a STA can be given access to the network, or a subset of it, or denied access to the network. – Key derivation: each side derives a key known bound to each other. • Ciphers – Data Confidentiality: Data sent between the STA and AP is hidden from all but the source and destination of the data. – Data Integrity: The recipient of a frame is able to verify that the frame was not modified in transit and that a false frame has not been substituted for a valid frame. – Data Source Authentication: The recipient of a frame is able to ascertain the origin of the frame and it is not possible for anyone else to masquerade as the claimed originator. Submission Slide 3 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 How are These Services Provided Today? • Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) – Key Management • Shared key: insecure simple proof-of-possession of a shared key – Cipher • WEP: insecure, numerous fundamental flaws in design • Robust Security Network (RSN) – Key Management • 802.1x: provides mutual authentication, allows for authorization and access control decision making, generates secure and cryptographically strong keys. • PSK: provides a limited type of authentication, generates weak keys that void some features of RSN ciphers. – Ciphers • TKIP: provides confidentiality, data integrity (sub-optimally), and data source authentication. • CCMP: provides confidentiality, data integrity, and data source authentication. Submission Slide 4 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 What's The Problem? • 802.11's current cryptographically strong security is limited to one particular use case– the enterprise-- where: – a AAA server is used to aggregate security services and policy. – strict roles are enforced: clients obtain network access through APs. • 802.11's current cryptographically strong security doesn't really work for other deployments. – Small office/home office– a stand-alone AAA server is problematic. – Networks of consumer electronics devices– a stand-alone AAA server is a non-starter and there is no real "client" and "AP" role. – Mesh and peer-to-peer applications– there is no "client" and "AP" role. • The PSK mode of 802.11i is insecure. This is a source of continued bad press for 802.11– "802.11 is still not secure". • CCM in software is reaching performance limits with current 802.11 high-rate PHYs Submission Slide 5 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 What's the Problem? • People right now want to use 802.11 in ways that are not supported: – 11-09-0558-00-0000-bluetooth-sig-liaison-report-may-2009 • Need for secure high-speed data transfer between personal devices (non-AP STAs) but 802.11 doesn't support that. So, use insecure Bluetooth key management to get a key and then use 802.11 for data transport. – Wi-Fi Alliance liaison report from May 2009 (verbal) • There is a compelling use case for peer-to-peer use of 802.11 but that isn't supported in 802.11, so WFA is defining a new layer to provide the appearance of peer-to-peer. • PSK mode in 802.11 is insecure but a compelling use case for PSKs still exists so WFA is trying to come up with an adjunct protocol to lessen the security exposure– it does not eliminate it though, the solution does not achieve provable security.. • People will soon want to use 802.11 in ways that are not supported: – "smart grid" applications • People trade security for usability because 802.11 does not give them both (see 11-09-0580-00-0wng-future-security-activities). Submission Slide 6 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 What's The Solution? • Support currently unsupported use cases in 802.11 to make hacks by other SDOs unnecessary. • Provide security and usability to 802.11 • A Study Group to come up with a PAR & 5C to work on: – Secure, de-centralized, peer-to-peer authentication and key management protocols– address the Bluetooth and WFA issues • A password-based key exchange that is resistant to attack • A certificate-based key exchange – Definition (not development) of new ciphers • AES-GCM: a high-performance, single-pass, cipher for authenticated encryption • AES-SIV: a misuse-resistant cipher for authenticated encryption Submission Slide 7 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 A Focus on Enhanced Security • Tight focus ensures timely results – Keep a focus on security enhancements to existing 802.11 functionality and not creation of new security algorithms, ciphers, etc. – Much of this has already been designed– GCM, SIV, SAE– so it's a problem of defining use in 802.11. • There is a need for de-centralized security in 802.11 – Use of a PSK/password is widespread and will remain so. Unfortunately it is not secure; we should make it so. – There is market demand as shown by the work of other SDOs. – It makes sense for 802.11 to provide it instead of hoping other organizations do it (and do it right). • Data rates keep increasing, ciphers cannot be bottlenecks! • More efficient ciphers consume less power which results in longer battery life, and it's also green. • Do security work in a security group; keep experts focused on their area of expertise. Submission Slide 8 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks July 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0315r4 Motion • Move to request the 802.11 Working Group to approve and forward to the IEEE 802 Executive Committee the creation of a new IEEE 802.11 Study Group, called the Enhanced 802.11 Security Study Group (ESSG), to investigate ways to provide security enhancements to 802.11 on the following: – Secure, robust, de-centralized, peer-to-peer key management. – Faster, more robust, or more power-efficient ciphers. Upon confirmation of feasibility and per 802 operating rules, the ESSG shall draft a PAR and 5 criteria to be submitted to the 802.11 WG. Moved: Seconded: Yes: No: Abstain: Submission Slide 9 Dan Harkins, Aruba Networks

Undeterred by the lukewarm response to NTPC's stake sale, the Union Steel Ministry on Wednesday said it would send within 10 days to the Union Cabinet the proposal for the 20-per cent share sale in Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL).
Fresh equity
"We will send the 20-per cent follow-on public offer (FPO) proposal of SAIL to the Union Cabinet within the next 10 days," Steel Secretary Atul Chaturvedi told reporters here on the sidelines of the Mining and Steel summit organised by the Indian Chambers of Commerce. The government owns a little over 85 per cent stake in SAIL and is planning to sell 10 per cent of its holding in two phases.
The share-sale proposal, which will also see the company raise 10 per cent fresh equity, is expected to fetch the government and the firm around Rs. 9,000 crore each, based on the current share price.
The final amount would, however, depend on the issue price. The FPO, which awaits government clearance, will come up in the next financial year only.
Recently, SAIL Chairman and Managing Director S. K. Roongta said that the process for stake sale would start once the government gave the green signal.
"We are ready with our preparation in this regard," he said.

ONE and (RED) have started a community art project of sorts, known as the (2015)QUILT. Driven by the goal to have an HIV/AIDS free generation by 2015, ONE and (RED) are focusing on the 1,000 babies born every day to mothers who have HIV/AIDS. The crux is this: get the 1.4 million pregnant women who are HIV positive on meds that cost $0.40 a day (you read that correctly), 98 percent of their babies won't have HIV/AIDS transferred to them, and soon enough, we have a healthy generation. How easy does that sound?

Unfortunately, many people who go to church on Sunday are more influenced by what they see on cable TV than by the Bible. I hear that lament from pastors all the time. Too many of their congregant's political priorities are determined by a party or ideology – not the Word of God. Their identities are shaped by marketing and media campaigns that manufacture a view of the world in order to maximize their own power and profit.
The antidote is simple. Christians need to read their Bibles more. It makes a difference.

If we look at what is happening this week – elections in Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo, an aid effectiveness conference in South Korea, the continuing Arab Spring in Syria and beyond, World Aids Day Thursday – and in the coming weeks -- the U.N. climate change conference, COP17 -- we cannot pretend that these events have no impact on our lives here and now.
Every one of these events is a matter of justice. The citizens of Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo deserve the opportunity to express freely, without fear of intimidation or violence, how they believe their country should be governed. Having spent some time in the region, I believe that the people of the DRC deserve more than any other to live in a country where they are safe and secure.
How we assist other countries in their development is an issue of justice.

Since Advent is often a time of welcoming relatives to the home, make an effort to include them in the family Christmas traditions they missed out on last year, such as loading the dishwasher, making their own beds, and picking up after themselves.
Decorating the outside of your house is a great way to show the neighbors how important Advent is to your family. And remember, it's not a competition to see whose house is the best on your block, although if your lights are not bright enough to interfere with the navigation of passing jetliners then, frankly, you're just not feeling the true Christmas spirit.

If you're happy, then it is a great price. Isn't that what it is all about?
Well I don't know much about these gun but the price seemed good and I thought that if it was half as good as their rifles I'd come out ok.
Can you post up a pic of the new shotgun for us?
Soo went too shoot the gun and after 6 rounds the action is stuck and I can't cycle the spent round out
That is not and indicator for this shotgun. Hope it works out.
Criminals advocate stronger gun laws to foster a safer work environment. This limits their exposure to risk.
I got it cleared. The bolt for some reason rotates at the extractor and it had rotated and was causing it to bind up cycles well just running shells through it but not sure how its going to work when shooting. I will try it again and see hopefully the was a one time thing. Ill will keep you all updated.
Here is the pic request from previous post.
I just read on another site to run 100 bird shot shells threw this shotgun to break it in. Use real light #8 1oz loads. They say it will be fine after that.
Ok tanks. Looks like ill be buying a value pack at Walmart soon. And if the issue continues what can y'all say for savages customer service.
