Great trail, walked the 6.8 Mile Chinquapin Trail around the lake with a friend. Texas park costs $5 per adult to get in, but worth it. For Houston area, this is a very hilly trail with lots of sandy ups and downs, tree roots and mountain-bikers. Walked in November so I didn't see any snakes or alligators, but they are in the park. Lots of shade and full tree cover, the trail has some narrow areas and lots of bends, so be aware for the bikers..

This was basically a spider symposium with no elevation change and bugs engaging in aerial coitus everywhere.
The coolest part was a silk worm-infested tree.

One of my all time favorites. I use this as my constant when treating all other trails. "... it's more____or less____than Huntsville." When we can't decide where to go it's the default. A challenge w all of the obstacles, sand, roots, curves up and down hills, great for building & honing basic skills.

Nice park, costs $5 per adult to get in. Completed the 6.8 Mile Chinquapin Trail with my wife and 6 month old daughter. It was more challenging pushing the Bob stroller over all the roots then it would have been just walking without a stroller but the Bob handled it quite well. There was many mountain-bikers who ride too fast around blind curves. Also saw a coral snake. Be alert out there!

Great trails, a lot of tree roots, turns, obstacles, ups and downs. The Rocky Raccoon race was in full throttle when I rode with 600+ runners, so I think I made more enemies than friends today.

This is one of our favorite trails. Close to home. Shaded by trees for the entire loop. We love to bring our grandchildren here. The park staff are very friendly.

This trail's rating is incorrect. Easiest 7 miles I've ever hiked. It was pretty, but I was looking for something a little more difficult.

The Guided MLRS Unitary Rocket
April 25, 2007
April 26, 2007 Lockheed Martin recently conducted several successful flight tests of a Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) Unitary Phase II rocket at White Sands Missile Range, NM, concluding the second phase of the Production Qualification Testing (PQT) requirement series for the contract. Guided MLRS Unitary integrates a 200-pound unitary warhead into the GMLRS rocket, giving battlefield commanders the ability to attack targets up to 70 kilometers away with extremely high precision. This low-cost, low-risk program has helped to greatly reduce collateral damage by providing enhanced accuracy to ensure delivery of the warhead to the target. Read More
X-Net arrest system stops cars quickly and safely.
By Loz Blain
April 23, 2007
April 24, 2007 Conventional vehicle hindrance devices rely on puncturing tyres - which allow the vehicle to continue for some distance, sometimes out of control, and are ineffective against run-flat tyres. X-Net is a new system that brings any car to a quick, safe stop - as fast as an emergency brake, and with minimal vehicle damage. Read More
New breech-loading NLOS mortar fires first round
April 12, 2007
April 13, 2007 The long-awaited Future Combat Systems (FCS) Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) Mortar Firing Platform has had its first outing, successfully firing its first shot (an M931 training round) last week. The successful firing was the first in a series of tests being conducted to confirm the reliability of the NLOS Mortar's unique breech-loading system and its other advanced armament technologies that enable greater rates of fire and firing angles, as well as the ability for Soldiers to fire the weapon under armor - a capability mortar crews don't have today.

The First SBInet Mobile Sensor Tower
April 4, 2007
April 5, 2007 You're looking at the first Secure Border Initiative (SBI) integrated mobile sensor tower, a key element of the SBInet system's mobile component. Once operational, the 98-foot high tower will detect and identify entries into the U.S. when they occur, allowing Border Patrol agents to respond effectively and efficiently to the entry and resolve the situation with appropriate law enforcement. The tower houses cameras, radar, wireless data access points, communications and computer equipment, and a tower security system. When combined with Border Patrol agent vehicle modifications, the mobile sensor towers will provide surveillance data to the Common Operating Picture, a critical component of U.S. Customs and Border Protection's comprehensive border security solution.

The remarkable 57-mm Mk 110 Naval Gun system
By Loz Blain
April 2, 2007
April 3, 2007 BAE Systems has received its second contract from General Dynamics for US$7.2 million to supply a 57-mm Mk 110 Naval Gun system for the U.S. Navy's fourth Littoral Combat Ship (LCS 4) as its main armament. Linked with a digital fire control system, the Mk 110 accurately fires automatic salvos of the highly lethal 57-mm Mk 295 ammunition at a firing rate of 220 rounds per minute and a range of up to nine miles. The 6-mode programmable 57-mm Mk 295 ammunition allows the system to perform against aerial, surface or ground threats with just a single round. Sailors can switch from warning to live fire to engage a target in seconds, and the servo-controlled electro hydraulic gun laying subsystems provide robust endurance and extreme pointing accuracy, even in high sea-state conditions.

Raytheon Jam-Resistant GPS Antennas
April 1, 2007
April 2, 2007 Raytheon's GAS-1 jam-resistant Global Positioning System (GPS)-antenna technology seems to be going from strength to strength, and with another option conversion under its current contract with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy announced this week, more than 4000 of the units will be in operation by 2008. The system is able to recognise sources of electrical interference and by adjusting the way in which it receives the satellite signals, reject them, allowing navigation equipment to function safely, accurately and efficiently. In military use this allows operations to be carried out with greater accuracy and less risk. Raytheon claims its anti-jam system is able to track jammers and generate nulls faster than any competing system, and based on the order books, the claims appear verified. Read More
The 30,000 pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator
March 27, 2007
March 28 2007 In terms of non-nuclear bombs, we've seen some doozies in the last 50 years, such as the Daisycutter (the 15,000 pound BLU-82 bomb designed originally to create jungle clearings in Vietnam with a lethality radius of 300 meters) and the aptly nicknamed 30 ft long, 21,000 pound MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs), the most powerful non-nuclear weapon ever designed. Now, there is to be a new mega-bomb, the Boeing-developed, precision-guided 30,000 lb Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is designed specifically to attack hardened concrete bunkers and tunnel facilities and testing is underway.

March 26, 2007 Elbit Systems heads up the Isreal Ministry of Defense Integrated Infantry Combat System (IICS) Project which aims to equip soldiers with miniaturised high-tech wearable tools for advanced situational awareness, quicker response and ultimately, increased lethality. The plan is to allow infantry soldiers to be networked into integrated information systems so they can send and receive information in real time, view up-to-the-minute Common Operational Picture (situational awareness of enemy and own forces) and live video from either external or on body sensors and transmit images and information back to command. The company's Dominator Integrated Infantry Combat System was shown off for the first time last week and amongst a range of extraordinary capabilities, the integrated Globalight man-packable VSAT terminal stands out - it offers broadband communications, two way simultaneous voice, internet, VC. Phone, fax and email communications ANYWHERE. Read More
JDAM Scores Direct Hit in Extended Range Tests
March 19, 2007
March 20, 2007 Two Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) weapons, each equipped with an Australian-designed and -built modular wing kit, have been successfully released from a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) F/A-18 Hornet during recent flight tests. Flying at 20,000 feet over the Woomera Prohibited Area in South Australia, a RAAF F/A-18 released the 500-pound Mk-82 JDAM Extended Range (ER) weapons and scored a direct hit on their respective targets. The ER wing kit provides more than three times the range of a baseline JDAM and is designed to be installed in the field to existing JDAM weapons. The affordable ER wing kit enhances the already highly capable JDAM into one of the most mission flexible, low-cost weapons available in the world today. Read More
March 1, 2007 UPDATED IMAGES Anti Personnel (land)mines cannot distinguish between the footfall of a child and a soldier. The banning of landmines by the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty has left civilised military forces with a problem – landmines have traditionally been used to cover dead ground in the 20 to 200 metre range. The weapon of choice to replace the landmine has subsequently become the Claymore. Named after the 700 year-old two-handed Scottish sword, the Claymore is based on the Misznay-Schardin effect in that its blast is primarily in a single direction. The U.S. Army developed the design half a century ago during the Korean War into an anti-personnel weapon that would fire 700 ball bearings propelled by 650 grams of plastic explosive with lethal effect to 100 meters across a 60° arc in front of the 8 x 3 x 1.5 inch box. Claymores are not buried like mines – they are anchored above ground pointed towards the likely location of the enemy, and are now known the world over for the words "Front Toward Enemy" embossed on their olive plastic casing. For the first 50 years of their existence, Claymores have been dumb – but an ingenious telecommunications system that can be fitted to any Claymore looks set to give new life to the fearsome weapon. The newly available Macroswiss Claymore Camera consists of a video camera attached to the Claymore, which relays information to a remote receiver through a cable system so an operator can monitor events in front of the mine, and detonate it when the time comes. If the user wants to keep a record, the video feedback can be recorded with the GPS position and its even possible to ensure no-one can sneak past the mine by adding a motion detection system that will raise an alarm if there is any movement in the camera's field of view.

BT's Wireless City networks hit their target.
The new networks offer a range of services for consumers, businesses and local authority workers.
BT had originally set a target to have the first phase working by the end of March - but this has already been achieved. The company has now named five new Wireless City deployments - Sheffield, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Bristol, and Glasgow.
They join Birmingham, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Cardiff and Westminster.
The networks provide wire-free, high-speed broadband coverage which can be used for easy access to information and services in city centre locations.
BT claims the Wireless Cities mean that local authorities, businesses and citizens will be able to benefit from a greatly increased availability of wireless broadband, bringing major benefits.
Not only can customers access all the broadband services normally available at home or in the office, but local authorities can work with BT to develop new mobile services, increase productivity for their own mobile workers and even provide information, such as available parking spaces and cinema listings.
Steve Andrews, BT head of mobility and convergence, said: "We are delighted that we have met our ambitious target early, but this is just the beginning. Other networks are already being built. Many local authorities are keen to pursue the real benefits to the council, businesses and citizens that a large wireless broadband network can bring.
"As more and more devices are enabled for Wi-Fi, including our own BT Fusion mobile service, the benefits to customers become clear.
"A number of local authorities are already showing they can improve productivity for their mobile workers, like environmental health officers, who would be able to take action quickly and efficiently away from the office.
"Across the UK, almost every major city will have a large area covered by BT Openzone wireless broadband access points, which means customers can do anything, anytime, anywhere. And BT is committed to working with local authorities to develop the applications that run over the network, so that councils, businesses and citizens can really benefit from the network and will really use it."
The Wireless Birmingham Wi-Fi network will cover a square mile area of the city centre, including the professional district, the ICC, NIA and Brindleyplace, Broad Street, the Jewellery Quarter, Eastside, Digbeth, and the main retail areas.

The time was 1:10.59 for the six furlongs on the fast track.

Phone: 989-774-3896
Morris Watts has made a significant impact on Central Michigan's offense in his three seasons as the Chippewas' passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach and was recently named the offensive coordinator.
The 2013 season saw Watts tutor a trio of first-time starters including redshirt freshman Cooper Rush, who started the final 10 games of the season. Rush threw for 2,349 yards and 15 touchdowns, completing 177-of-312 passes. He ranked fifth in the MAC with 213.5 passing yards per game.
In 2012, Ryan Radcliff continued to flourish under Watts' guidance, capping off his time as a Chippewa with a standout senior season. He posted the best touchdown-to-interception ratio of his career (23-9) and threw for 3,000-plus yards (3,158) for the third consecutive year. In his final game in the maroon and gold, Radcliff earned Little Caesars Pizza Bowl MVP honors after passing for 253 yards and three touchdowns in the 24-21 win over Western Kentucky.
In 2011, Radcliff posted one of the top passing seasons in school history under Watts' tutelage. Radcliff completed 257 passes for 3,286 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2011; each of those totals ranks fourth in school history. Radcliff posted five 300-yard games in 2011, including a career-best 436-yard performance (third most yards in a game in school history) on 30-of-45 passing at Ball State on Oct. 22.
In eight Mid-American Conference games, Radcliff threw for a league-high 2,491 yards (311.4 ypg) and tied for the MAC lead with 19 touchdown passes. He threw two or more touchdown passes in seven of the season's final eight games.
Watts is a 44-year veteran of collegiate and professional coaching who has coached in 14 bowl games. He was the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator at Michigan State during current CMU head coach Dan Enos' playing career (1987-90).
The 2014 season will be Watts' 51st overall in coaching. He has 41 years of experience at the college level, three at the professional level and six at the high school level. Watts has the most college and pro experience of any current NCAA Bowl Subdivision coach.
Watts came to CMU from Miami, where as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach he helped lead the RedHawks to the Mid-American Conference championship and a victory in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in 2010.
During his career, Watts has worked directly with several quarterbacks who have played professionally, including Indiana's Tim Clifford; Michigan State's Jim Miller, Tony Banks and Jeff Smoker; Cliff Stoudt of the USFL's Birmingham Stallions; and Vinny Testeverde of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Prior to joining the Miami staff in 2009, Watts had most recently coached at the collegiate level at Mississippi State in 2003, serving as the Bulldogs' offensive coordinator.
He spent three different terms as the offensive coordinator at Michigan State, including the duration of Enos' playing career. During Enos' two seasons (1989-90) as the starting quarterback, the pair helped lead the Spartans to two bowl victories and a share of the 1990 Big Ten championship.
Watts was the offensive coordinator at Michigan State from 1986-90, 1992-94 and 1999-2002. He also was the interim head coach for the final three games of the 2002 season. In 2001, Watts was nominated for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top assistant coach.
Watts spent the 1995-98 seasons at LSU, helping lead the Tigers to a total of 31 wins, including three consecutive bowl victories. The 1995 and 1997 teams won the Independence Bowl, while the 1996 squad capped a 10-win season with a victory in the Peach Bowl.
A 1961 graduate of the University of Tulsa, Watts played running back for the Golden Hurricane. He earned a master's degree from Pittsburg (Kan.) State in 1964.
His family includes wife, Marlene, his daughter Charlavan, and his son, Danny.

Paragon Air Express has asked US regulators for 90 days to seek alternative financing after a commitment from Nashville bank failed to materialize.
The lack of financing is forcing the company to freeze plans for the launch of intra-Florida service on beween Naples and Miami using Jetstream 32 aircraft.
Paragon's plan is to operate the Jetstream with nine seats. The company anticipates most of its passengers "will be business travellers connecting to/from the broad array of domestic and foreign air transportation available at Miami".
Naples Municipal Airport now has service from Gulf Coast Airways, which offers non-stop flights to key Westfour days week. Yellow Air Taxi, an on-demand operator, flies between Naples and Fort Lauderdale. Naples is a golfing resort on the west coast of Florida.

More than a half century ago, Continental Air Defense Command - the precursor to NORAD - started tracking Santa Claus as he made his way across the globe on Christmas Eve. The Federal Drive talked about the tradition, which continues today, with Army Major Mike Humphreys, the Public Affairs Officer with NORAD and US NORTHCOM. He told FederalNewsRadio that the tradition started -- because of a wrong number!
In related news, the Federal Aviation Administration announced that it has certified Santa's sleigh as equipped with Next-Gen technology.
"Santa One, led by Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, is outfitted with new satellite-based NextGen technology, which will allow Santa to deliver more toys to more children with improved safety and efficiency," the FAA said.

DOBSON — The excitement among the crowd assembled at the intersection of South Crutchfield and West Atkins streets in Dobson Monday morning was palpable.
A family, complete with baby stroller and dog, walked by on the now-closed Comer Street and looked longingly at an empty lot that will soon be transformed into Dobson Square Park.
"This is a pretty huge, monumental day," Town Manager Josh Smith told the group assembled for the official groundbreaking of the long-anticipated park. "Today signals the first big recreational endeavor in town."
Construction was set to get under way almost immediately after the groundbreaking ceremony, and Smith credited the town's board of commissioners and staff with making the day possible.
"It's all about vision," he said. "We had to be visionary and the town's board and staff should be credited with supporting that vision. They have done a great job establishing a vision for the future of the town and are working very hard to follow through on that vision."
The 2.5-acre park will house two picnic shelters, one of which will double as the site of the town's farmer's market, an ampitheater, an interactive fountain, splash pad, playground and walking trails.
"This will no doubt be a tremendous asset for the town," he told the 50 or so people who turned out for the ceremony.
Mayor Ricky Draughn agreed.
"It will certainly be a face-changing thing for downtown Dobson," he said. "It will change the downtown area for the positive and will become the centerpiece of our community
The park is being constructed by Mount Airy-based Simcon Company, who secured the contract for the $1,324,500 park.
Dobson has secured a grant worth $498,000 from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, which is expected to cover about half the construction costs for the park.
Smith said he sees the park as the town's gathering spot.
"Our ultimate goal here is to provide an opportunity for people to gather and enjoy each other," he said. "I can see us hosting movie nights, concerts, cookouts, the possibilities are endless.
"We envision this park as a place for families and communities," he said. "There are all kinds of things we can do.
"This is going to be great," Smith added. "It's going to be so much more than a playground. This park will be a platform where we can host a multitude of community events going forward."
After turning over the first ceremonial shovels of dirt, the town manager smiled and looked at the crowd of town residents.
"Hopefully, by the end of this year, we'll have a finished park for you to enjoy," he said.

Rahul Gandhi's earlier interview with a television channel had ended with some unsavoury remarks and pitfalls. Gandhi scion had received a thumbs down for his responses to 1984 riots and this had put Congress party in a tight spot.
Come again and as Lok Sabha elections draw nearer, Rahul Gandhi gave an interview to a hindi news channel.
Without explicitly mentioning any group by name, the Congress vice president alluded to it when he said, "land equal to Vadodara was given to him. Do you know for how much? For Rs 300 crore. Coastline equal to Mumbai was also given to him."
He was asked specifically during the interview on Aajtak whether he was referring to the Adani group to which he said he would not like to name anybody.
Vadodara has an area of 149 square kilometers and the Mumbai coastline is 167 km long.
"When Gujarat grew, it was because of the small industries, because of movements like Amul and that is its strength. Now you see the Gujarat model, the turnover of one industrialist has grown from Rs 3,000 crore to Rs 40,000 crore," the Congress Vice President said.
He went on to add that Modi's economic model is that the "entire money of the state should be given to two-three persons. This mindset is also dangerous for the country. I keep fighting against such mindset."
"Gujarat model is based on crony capitalism and marketing hype," said Rahul Gandhi. He further added that Gujarat government headed by Narendra Modi had favoured some businessmen to make profits and had destroyed the textile industry.
On RTI, he said, " Congress takes institutional steps and fighting corruption is a long journey."
Targetting BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and BJP's power play, he said, "BJP has just one man who knows about anything and everything on earth and this man claims to change India by becoming chowkidar of the country.."
He went a step further and added that India's method of selecting candidates has to change and instead of parties, public should be allowed to select their candidates. he gave an example of elections in United States and how Barack Obama was made the President of United states.
"Don't kill the idea. My idea that people have to select party members has created fire in party workers to do better", said Rahul Gandhi.
On Congress' manifesto and campaign, he said, "Our campaign is not personalised. Narendra Modiji is a man. He has issues and I am not interested in his problems. But, he represents and idea and I am against it. Any divisive thought will destroy India and I am against it."
Taking a dig at Narendra Modi and his PM candidature, he said, "Whatever BJP is doing is actually not constitiutional and during elections, only MP's can select PM. If they select me, I will not stay behind."
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi Saturday rubbished opinion polls that have predicted victory for the BJP-led NDA in the Lok Sabha polls.
"The BJP is good in marketing, but at the end, results count. They did good marketing in 2004, but you saw the results," Gandhi said in an interview to Headlines Today, his second to a TV news channel in recent times.
Replying to a question on why the Congress was lagging behind the Bharatiya Janata Party in the election campaign, Gandhi said the Congress' base rested in the poor, and the voice of the poor is generally sidelined.
"Our thinking is to give more and more rights to the poor. We want to give them a support system. Development is necessary but we have to also prepare human resources. That human resource will come from the poor," he said.
He also spoke about India's development and said, "Reality is partnerships will take India forward. Otherwise India will not grow forward. Partnerships happen with love and not anger. India's future is very optimistic as compared to other countries of the world. China is first and India is second and In five-seven years, we will defeat China."
Below are Rahul Gandhi's pointers from the interview:
-We ran government for ten years and constructed roads and gave electricity to rural India.
-Congress brought 15 crore Indians out of BPL (Below poverty line)
-We don't have glitz and marketing Programs and information like BJP.
-Congress understood public's issues and pain

I've been thinking about the mourners who were outside Jarius' house. When Jesus said that the 12 year old daughter wasn't dead, but asleep, they laughed.
Why did they laugh? Were they not so serious in their mourning? NT Wright says they were probably professionals - people who were there to help the family in grief let it all go. Did they think Jesus was ridiculous? Callous? Were they laughing like Abram and Sarai, in disbelief? or chuckling, hoping that just maybe this new guy on the scene was onto something?
Sometimes, when I'm preaching, I'm hoping for laughter. it helps the sermon, engages the listen. But sometimes the laughter catches me off guard. i didn't think people would laugh and they did, or maybe it's some nervous twitter. or maybe I've just really embarrassed myself by tripping over my words or missing (another) pop cultural reference. Did the laughter bug Jesus? Or did he just keep on, focused on the next steps, pressing on to the healing that was about to take place.
Or were they laughing because Jesus was too late. She was dead already. Ha. In your face, Mr. Jesus Christ.
Sometimes that happens in the church. we're too late, and the laughter is convicting and condemning and it hurts. A friend told me a story recently of her mother. Her family founded a church, a big, downtown, neighborhood church. A high steeple. her father was the treasurer for years (the good kind). She grew up in the church, raised her kids in the church. Then, she came down with Alzherimers and Parkinson's and all the forgetfulness adn tremors these illnesses bring. Her husband faithfully stayed with her, and no one came. no one called. no one visited. Finally, seasons into her illness, some people from the church called and said, "We'd like to come and sit with Merle. we want to give you a break. you can go out for a few hours." And his father said, "You're too late." "you're too late. It's past the time she'll know you. It's pat the time she would be comfortable with people that will be strangers to her. I'm sorry, but don't come. you're too late." Ha, ha, ha. Ouch.
But that is the grace and gift (one of many) in this story. Jesus isn't too late. And he knows it. He calls to this 12 year old, in his language and she wakes up. God's kingdom is here, now. It's another sign that death is not forever, and life is given to us to be lived. It's also another sign Mark gives us to point us to the cross - where Jesus will meet evil and death face to face, and ha, ha, ha, win.
May the church follow Jesus, and not be late again.

Psalm 130
2009-06-21 by Laurie Clark
O Israel, Hope in the Lord.
What does it mean to "hope in the Lord?" In the Mark 5:21-43 reading, the bleeding woman is looking for a solution to her physical pain. That's understandable. No one wants chronic suffering, especially the kind of physical illness that isolates us from our family, friends, and faith community. In his commentary Mark for Everyone, NT Wright points out that these two healing stories are about "Fear and Faith" (p. 58-61)
When are we able to push through our fear and reach out to Jesus? Do our fears hold us back, the way a crowd might physically push against us? Is it the hope in the Lord that gives us the strength to even just sneak up behind and brush our fingers along the hem of his cloak? Is there any guarantee that our faith will heal us?
Today, I have more questions on this scripture than answers. But I am hoping in the Lord, and trusting that insights will come.
What are your questions when you read this text?
Peace of the Healing Christ to you -

St. Luke's on 5th
2009-06-21 by Laurie Clark
Dear Bloggers -
My name is Rev. Laurie Lynn Clark. I serve as a United Methodist pastor at St. Luke's on 5th in Columbus, OH. St. Luke's is a unique congregation. It is young - only 55 years in existence. It's a blessing to still have some orginial members with us. For the last 30 years, St. Luke's has intentionally welcomed people with disabilities. This ministry wasn't planned. It just happened, a gift from God. Now, on any Sunday, a quarter of our worshipping congregation are people with disabilities often accompanied by their care givers. At St. Luke's, we are truly one body, everyone joining everyone else in worshipping God and sharing in ministry. People (with disabilities) are full members, attend Sunday School, serve alongside everyone else, and participate in worship each week as acolytes and Communion stewards. Together, we are limping and leaping towards wholeness, seeking God's presence in our midst.
It is from the context of a congregation that I will blog this week on the gospel lesson, Mark 5:21-43. I look forward to entering into this holy conversation together.
Peace of the Living Christ to you,
Laurie Clark
Thanks and Job
2009-06-19 by David von Schlichten
Thank you to guest blogger Roger Gustafson for his wise, insightful posts. Scroll down to splash around in them.
I will preach on Job this Sunday. I will provide an overview of the book, emphasizing the book's message that there is no tidy correlation between a person's moral behavior and suffering. Suffering is not a punishment. I will go on to proclaim that, while God may not explain to us why we are suffering, God does help us deal with the suffering. I'll post my sermon tomorrow (Saturday).
We just had a terrible storm the other day. I don't know why we had it, but I do know that Christ is with us in the boat.
Yours in Christ,
David von Schlichten, Lectionary Blog Moderator
Living in the Presence
2009-06-18 by Roger Gustafson
Good Lord, the disciples are more afraid of Jesus than they were of the storm, and he just saved them from it! Before, they were afraid for their lives; now, it's almost as if they're afraid of their lives: If we've thrown in our lot with this One who just turned out to be completely beyond our experience and expectation, what's in store for us when we reach land? This part of the service was definitely not in the bulletin.
But great awe can turn into great appreciation, and that can turn into courage. It might take time, as it did for the disciples, but it happens.
Enough about boats. I love road trips on a motorcycle. The planning, the anticipating, the packing, checking over the bike – it's all part of an exhilarating experience in which I quickly remember how elemental life really is.
Most of the time, I am guarded and sometimes guided by insulators. I delegate and assign and manage. At work I have a storehouse of resources, including an imaginative co-pastor to consult in the event of a creativity drought and an administrative assistant to protect me from the peddlers of the latest sure-fire, shrink-wrapped evangelism program. At home I have caller-ID to alert me to the deputy sheriff's association pledge-takers. I live with insulators, shields.
Not so on a motorcycle. The greatest value of a road trip is the fact that the road doesn't care. Forget to pack an essential, the road doesn't care. Forget to tighten something, neglect to fill up at the gas station you just passed as the needle on the gauge began to tip toward "E," break the front zipper on the leather jacket as you're about to head into the Rockies in late October, the road doesn't care. Deal with it. There's no one to call for suggestions, no one to delegate the solutions to, no resources to call upon. Except yourself.
It's amazing how quickly I'm able to identify my insulators once I'm stripped of them, how refreshing it is to be glad of their absence. How curious and ironic, then, that it is at precisely the times that I'm engaged with the immediacy of life – dealing with it by my wits – that I have an overwhelming sense of and appreciation for the immediacy of the presence of the Almighty. Ah, so this is what "filled with great awe" feels like!
This God-awareness doesn't ease the pain that comes from skidding and falling on wet pavement or laying the bike down in the middle of an intersection in order to avoid being hit by someone running a red light (we're still responsible, and sometimes we pick up the tab for others' bad judgment), but it does encapsulate the entire ride in bright and grace-filled promise. It also reminds me that my life is not primarily about me but about the astonishing God who has entrusted it to me; and it sharpens my desire to use the resources that God has implanted in me, to use myself fully.
"Teacher, do you not care … ?" Yes, he does. But his always-ready caring is not a replacement for our own. It's the gracious box in which we deal with the chaos that life occasionally brings our way. It's the Teacher's caring that shapes us for the future.

Swiss chemist Hofmann, father of LSD, turns 100
By Tom Armitage
ZURICH (Reuters) – Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who
discovered the mind-bending drug LSD, celebrated his 100th
birthday on Wednesday, still sprightly some 60 years after
taking his first trip.
"This is a wonderful birthday party that I am having," he
told guests at a celebration on Wednesday. "One could say it
has been a mind-expanding experience, without the LSD."
Working in a laboratory in Basel in the late 1930s, he
stumbled upon the substance lysergic acid diethylamine or LSD,
the drug which later fueled a generation of musicians, poets,
painters and party-goers.
Cycling along the Rhine close to the offices of his
employer Sandoz, now a part of Novartis, Hofmann embarked on
his first trip, discovering the hallucinogenic properties of
the drug which reminded him of childhood visions.
"At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant
intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely
stimulated imagination," he wrote of one of his trips.
"In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed — I found the
daylight to be unpleasantly glaring –, I perceived an
uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary
shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors.
"After some two hours this condition faded away."
However, the chemist also realized it could unleash
frightening and disturbing visions and warned against its use
as a "pleasure drug."
"Wrong and inappropriate use has caused LSD to become my
problem child," he wrote in the foreword to his book, by the
same name, which aimed to restore LSD's tarnished reputation.
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency thought LSD, having
been used in psychotherapy as a way to unlock the mind, could
be the ultimate truth serum.
It soon became the favored drug of the 1960s
counter-culture, prompting psychologist Timothy Leary to coin
the phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out."
After continuing to study the hallucinogenic effects of
other natural products, such as mushrooms, at Sandoz, Hofmann
wrote his book LSD, "My Problem Child."
He lives with his wife in Burg, Switzerland.
Hofmann believes LSD could still serve a valid purpose in
medicine, as it did for Aldous Huxley, author of the dystopian
novel "Brave New World" who used the drug to ease his final
"LSD was used decades ago for this purpose, in dying cancer
patients, for whom morphine no longer gave any relief from
pain," Hofmann told a Swiss newspaper recently.
"I am convinced that that will be a subject in the future

Stephen Welby, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering
The Defense Department is starting a new long-range research and development initiative. It's intended to deliver technologies capable of providing the next generation of dominance on the battlefield. A similar initiative in the 1970s resulted in the creation of technology offsets like smart munitions and stealth aircraft. Stephen Welby is the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering. On the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, he explained what separates this initiative from the department's existing R&D testing.

DoD brings culture of open architecture to a world of proprietary systems

Chargers sign CB Butler, waive DE Nevis
The San Diego Chargers have signed free agent cornerback Crezdon Butler.
To make room on the roster, the Chargers waived defensive end Drake Nevis.
The transactions were announced Tuesday.
Butler was released by Buffalo at the end of training camp in 2013. He played in six games with the Bills in 2012, primarily on special teams.
He was a fifth-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010. Butler played in four games as a rookie for the Steelers and was waived before the start of the 2011 season.
He also has played with Arizona and Washington.

Fantastic dining experience. My best meal so far and by far in 2007. Definitely on the pricey side but the way you can make your own tasting menu worked well with me.
I started with a Tuna/cucumber tartar (small portion but yummy – A), followed by the crabcake with avocado and miniature tomatos (A+), the seared foie gras (A+) and the calf sweetbread (solid A). Each dish came paired with a well picked wine.
The cheese selection was also terrific and the waitress recommended a white which initially surprised me but went perfectly with the oozing creamy goat cheese.
The desserts were very good but not quite the same level as the other courses.
Service was just excellent, with knowledgeable staff who are always aware of what you have coming next (which can be a challenge given the freeform aspect of the tasting menu).
This restaurant alone makes me want to go back to Baltimore.

Saudi King extends invite to Jews for interfaith meet
WJC head Lauder calls meet, which would be held in Saudi Arabia, a 'laudable step forward.'
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah has sent an invitation to the World Jewish Congress for an interfaith dialogue with Muslim and Christian leaders, Haaretz has learned.
While the date and location of the meeting has not been announced, sources have told Haaretz that King Abdullah seeks to hold the meet in Saudi Arabia, no small feat as the country is ruled by Islamic Sharia law and currently does not allow the entry of holders of Israeli passports or those whose passports bear entry visas from Israel. The country also bans all non-Muslim prayer in public.
WJC President Ronald Lauder issued a statement Monday saying that "despite all the obstacles that may still be in the way, King Abdullah's initiative is a laudable step forward. We hope that other religious leaders and political leaders throughout the world will be encouraged to join."
WJC Governing Board Chair Matthew Brofmann also praised the initiative and expressed his hope that it will "spell real progress in fostering better understanding with the Muslim world," and added that the WJC "is ready to participate in any interfaith talks that are meant towards mutual respect."
Abdullah first announced his plans to hold the meet during a public address in Riyadh in March, where he said "I plan, god willing, to hold summits - not just one - so as to hear the opinion of my Muslim brothers all over the world. We will start to meet with our brothers in every faith I have mentioned - the bible and the New Testament."
King Abdullah said the kingdom's top clerics had given him the green light to pursue the idea.
In response to the Saudi initiative, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger at the time said, "our hands are extended to any peace initiative, or to any dialogue whose goal is to bring an end to terror and violence. I have said many times that the true way to reach the long-awaited peace is through interfaith dialogue."

There were some ugly lines on Sunday. Three Bison pitchers combined to turn a 4-0 lead into an 8-4 deficit in the eighth inning. Andy Burns made an error in the inning that helped negate his first AAA home run. That inning also lost the win for Felix Doubront who pitched six strong innings. The Fisher Cats made four errors and allowed five unearned runs. Dunedin gave up seven runs, three of them unearned and Lansing pitchers gave up 20 hits. On the bright side Rowdy Tellez hit a home run and Anthony Alford reached base three times, Derrick Loveless had three hits.

Track exploits a team effort for Finley
Granite Hills senior turns heads in multiple events
"Everything we do, there's a purpose," Jim said. "We think things out. We experiment. We evaluate it — does it work? Some of the things we're doing this year are different than anything we've ever done before."
They say Finley, who has whittled his college choices to Cal State Northridge and Washington State, makes for an ideal pupil because of his work ethic, attention to detail and competitiveness.
Add in Chris Costa, a former Granite Hills hurdler who occasionally volunteers as a practice opponent; an older brother, now a senior at UC Santa Barbara, to impress; and parents, who are quick to support him. Maybe last year's second-place finish shouldn't have been so surprising after all.
"I dare to say, though," Jeff said, "the best is yet to come."
Go Kevin.

Slayer's Tom Araya Explains Why There Haven't Been 'Big 4′ Shows Since 2011
Metal fans rejoiced back in 2010 and 2011 when the Big 4 of thrash (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax) joined forces for a handful of shows around the world, including the most recent one at New York's Yankee Stadium in September 2011. Fans still holding out hope that these four metal powerhouses might join forces again on the same stage in the future may not get their way.

Anthrax's Scott Ian Joins Volbeat Onstage for Performance of 'Pool of Booze, Booze, Booza'
If there was any doubt left that Anthrax amicably parted ways with guitarist Rob Caggiano, this video will likely erase it. Caggiano now mans the guitar for Danish rockers Volbeat, and during the band's Sept. 16 gig in Los Angeles, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian was invited onstage to perform the Volbeat track 'Pool of Booze, Booze, Booza,' which was preceded by a small piece of Anthrax's 'I Am the Law.'
Anthrax Commence Work on New Album
It's official: Anthrax are working on the follow-up album to 2011's 'Worship Music.' This should come as great relief to fans, as they waited eight years between 'We've Come For You All' and the most recent disc. As we all know, turmoil surrounded the band during those years and things within the Anthrax camp have since stabilized, allowing the band to get back to a regular album and tour cycle.
Scott Ian: 'As Far as I'm Concerned, Jon Donais Is the Guitar Player in Anthrax'
After the departure of Rob Caggiano in January, Anthrax were left without a lead guitarist, but the band quickly tapped Shadows Fall axeman Jonathan Donais to fill the void. Now, after a successful trek headlining the 2013 Metal Alliance tour and a bunch of international shows, Anthrax's Scott Ian has publicly stated that Donais is the new full-time shredder for the band.

Anthrax's Scott Ian Shares His Iron Maiden Tribute Speech From Recent Kerrang! Awards
If you were to ask any given metalhead who they thought the greatest metal band of all time is, the answer would often be Black Sabbath or Metallica. However, in the very valid opinion of Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, that distinction goes to Iron Maiden, who were recently presented with the Inspiration Award at the 2013 Kerrang! Music Awards. Ian was given the honor of passing on the award to Maiden and the bearded Anthrax strummer just shared a transcribed version of his passionate speech from the awards ceremony.

seen the GT interview?
anyone who dare say "deeper gameplay" on Kamiya's creation is totally full of dog diarrhea mixed with horse puke and gorilla piss
i'm pretty sure he's the first one who's got the guts to say that
All of the DMCs after 1 with the exception of 2 had deeper gameplay. Bayonetta and God of War have deeper gameplay than 1. No More Heroes 1 and 2 have deeper gameplay than 1. I would not be surprised AT ALL if this game had deeper gameplay.
Renan is back!
it's not about the number in the series, it's the guy who's in charge of the tuning the play mechanics, i mean by comparison heavenly sword can't hold a stick against the free form crazy combo in DMC3,
and tossing a car with a sword isn't exactly what i had in mind when thinking of DMC...
what is this grand theft auto?

Play mechanics are much more important to me than "complexity."
A game like GoW3 has multiple weapons, dial up combos for each weapons, grapples, QTE finishers, a parry, and items like hermes boots. Sounds solid, but I've never hated playing any game as much as I hated GoW3. The play mechanics just flat out blow. I don't see how it gotten so popular.
Kratos has one of the worst jumps I've ever seen in a video game. He barely gets off the ground at all, and falls back down like a brick afterwards. And you have to time his double jump, wtf.
The enemies are either completely blown away by Kratos's blades, or they just tank it like the blades are made of paper. There's no middle ground, and it feels like there's no concept of "weight" in the game.
The targetting system is garbage. It feels like I'm spamming AoE moves and hoping the enemies get in range as opposed to me actually aiming at them. It plays more like D2 than a brawler.
The parry system timing is done so that you are awarded for parrying before an attack as opposed to "timing it just right."
As far as I know, there's no invincibility frames for his roll, and using the right analog stick to roll sucks because you have to move your thumb away from the face buttons.
The button mapping for magic and items suck. Making us "hold" various combinations to do different moves just feels awkward.
For me, if a game decides to be complex, it needs to nail the mechanics (Bayonetta for example) for it to be fun. Otherwise, I'd rather have something simple like Kingdom hearts.
If you're going through hell, keep going.

It will be deeper! As deep as Heavenly Sword!!

Tri-County North won its fair share of close baseball games this spring.
But in the Division III sectional final against Versailles, the No. 2 seeded Panthers could not capitalize with runners in scoring position early and came up short in its bid for a second straight sectional championship, falling to the Tigers, 2-1, on Thursday, May 22 at Greenville.
Following a shaky first inning, Versailles pitcher Jace Barga settled in and kept Tri-County North off balance.
After stranding a pair of Panthers on the base paths in the first, Barga retired the next 14 batters.
"They gave everything they had. We fell short. I think we tried too hard. We put way too much pressure on ourselves," North coach Larry Gray said following the loss. "I'm not going to look at the negatives. I'm going to look at the positives. What these guys have done, the seniors, all the way down is priceless."
After a scoreless first two innings, Versailles broke through with a run in the third, but it could have been much more.
Barga led the inning off with a single to center. Derek Bornhorst executed a bunt to perfection and reached on a throwing error by North pitcher Nick Gray, which allowed Barga to advance to third and Bornhorst to second. Dan Borchers walked to load the bases with nobody out.
Brett McEldowney followed with a single to right to score Barga and give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
But Nick Gray settled down and struck out the next three batters to limit the damage.
Versailles threatened again in the fourth, leaving a runner stranded at third. In the fifth, the Tigers put the first two batters on base and failed to score.
Versailles added to its lead in the top of the sixth.
Jake Wenning walked to lead off the inning. Barga followed with a single to right, advancing Wenning to third. Barga went to second on a throw to third. Dan Borchers grounded out to third to score Wenning and make it 2-0, Tigers.
North, which was held to one hit by Barga over the first five innings, scored its lone run in the bottom of the sixth. Kyle Edgin, who was 2-for-3, tripled with one out and scored on a single by Austin Hutchins. Hutchins then stole second but was left stranded when Barga struck out the next batter to end the threat.
North's senior class leaves behind a winning legacy.
The senior class finished their varsity careers with 73 wins, a regional final appearance, two sectional runner-ups and a Cross County Conference championship.
"It's a lot of wins. Not too many losses," Coach Gray said. "This group stayed focused. They were easy to coach. (They were) fun to coach. (It was) very emotional for us as coaches and players. I got to watch these kids, the juniors and seniors, ever since they were 11-years old, watch them grow up. I wouldn't trade one day."
The Panthers finished the season 18-4.

"President Barack Obama's election symbolizes the progress that African Americans have made in our nation," said Wesson. "His inauguration was a special moment in our nation's history and these photographs capture the excitement and promise of the Obama presidency." The photographers of the Presidential Inaugural are provided courtesy of the Perfect Exposure Gallery and include the work of gallery owner Armondo Arorizo, Adrian Sanchez-Gonzalez, Burt Harris, Heng Qi, Bill Auth and Paul Morse. Images from the Rancho Cienega event were captured by Doug Herman and Ian Foxx. The "Hail to the Chief" exhibit also offers an informative exposition of Air Force One, The US Marine Band, also known as "the President's Own" and the office of the First Lady. "I appreciate the opportunity to bring this great exhibit to the 10th Council District and in a location that will enable more people in the community to enjoy the amazing images that these talented artists captured on that historic occasion," said Wesson. Joining Councilmember Wesson in making the exhibit possible were the City of Los Angeles and the Office of the President of the United States. The exhibit is free of charge to the public and will run through June, 2010. The Nate Holden Performing Arts Center is located at 4718 W. Washington Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90016.

Considering the variations in water supply and treatment in different communities, and the increased frequency in which families move their residence, a portable water filtration system has become a necessary appliance in most homes.

Carl Shapiro, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Economics, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, provided a Statement, entitled "A New Age for Newspapers: Diversity of Voices, Competition and the Internet" (April 21, 2009), to the Subcommittee of Courts and Competition Policy, Committee of the Judiciary, United States House of Representatives. Mr. Shapiro, who served in that position once before, has been a Professor of Business and Economics at the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley since 1990.
Mr. Shapiro's conclusion is that the pressures faced today by newspapers do not require any changes to antitrust enforcement principals: "We believe that antitrust analysis is forward-looking and flexible enough to take into consideration the economic and technological pressures facing newspapers as we continue to make market-by-market and case-by-case determinations pursuant to the antitrust law."

|LA's Stoll likely to miss Game 2 against Sharks
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 15 May 2013 10:54
Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter implied Wednesday that Stoll could be out for a significant length of time after getting hit by Torres, who has a history of dangerous play.
Torres hit Stoll late in the second period of the defending Stanley Cup champions' 2-0 victory over San Jose on Tuesday. Stoll didn't return.
Torres is expected to have an in-person disciplinary hearing with NHL officials over the hit. Game 2 is Thursday night.
Sutter says he thought the hit was ``careless.'' A suspension for Torres wouldn't make him feel better because ``our player is quite a bit more important than theirs.''
