WCC seeding on line for USD vs. BYU
The victory was significant. The students rushing the court in the aftermath was cool.
Last Saturday's USD men's basketball upset of then-No. 25-ranked Gonzaga at Jenny Craig Pavilion was one that will linger in the Toreros' hearts for some time. Among the peaks-and-valleys of seven years at USD for coach Bill Grier, this was Mount McKinley for a man who once assisted with the Zags.
"If you can beat Gonzaga," Grier reflected this week, "it gives you the belief you can beat anyone else in the league."
The confidence is particularly high with three straight victories, and it will need to remain there come Saturday afternoon. In their final regular-season game, the Toreros host BYU at 1 p.m. in a matchup that has some weight to it for USD.
If the Toreros defeat the Cougars they will own an 8-10 record in the West Coast Conference and lock up the sixth seed for the league tournament that begins next week in Las Vegas. In a format change for this year, the top six seeds get a first-round bye, with the final four teams playing an extra game.
Toreros vs. BYU
Saturday: 1 p.m., Jenny Craig Pavilion
On the air: TWCSN, TheW.tv; 1700-AM
Records: USD is 16-14 overall, 7-10 in West Coast Conference; BYU is 20-10, 12-5.
Series: BYU leads 7-2.
Toreros update: Winner of three straight games, the last being over then-25th-ranked Gonzaga, USD will be trying to avenge an 87-53 loss at BYU in early January. In that game, Chris Starbaugh was the only Torero in double figures with 10 points. … Guard Johnny Dee had only eight against the Cougars, but has scored in double digits in 11 straight games. … USD has to do a better job under the basket; it was outrebounded 45-27. Today is Senior Day for MJ Marconi, Mike Davis and Dennis Kramer.
BYU update: With a sweep of Gonzaga and Portland last week, the Cougars reached 20 wins for a ninth straight season under coach Dave Rose. … BYU started WCC play with losses at Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine, but has since won 12 of its last 15 in league. … Junior guard Matt Carlino is coming off a 30-point game against Portland … Reserve Skyler Halford, who scored 28 against USD last time, is averaging 8.1 point per game.
Here's where it gets tricky for the Toreros: In their first meeting of the year with BYU, which holds the WCC's second spot at 12-5 and also beat Gonzaga last week, they got blown out by 34 points in Provo, Utah. Skyler Halford, a Cougars reserve making his first start, scored 28 points, USD shot 34 percent to BYU's 53, was outrebounded 45-27, and it all added up to the Toreros' most lopsided loss in two years.
At the time, it was a third straight defeat for a team that had been so pumped up about its 10-4 start.
"They just played an incredible game," said Dee, who had only eight points at BYU. "They were making all of their shots. We let them get on a run early and weren't able to dig ourselves out of it. They have players who can score quickly. We have to weather the storm and not lose our game plan."

Blowing a Huge Milky Load In His Mouth
I watch him beat off and decide to measure his man stick and then I jerk him off a little to see how comfortable he is. However, his cute twink frame is too much for me to resist, so I pull out my throbbing boner and let him have a taste of Little Tony. For only having sex with 3 guys, he sure can suck some mean dick! Those soft, young lips feel too good around my raging hard-on, and I blow a huge milky load into Curt's awaiting mouth. After a wonderful release, Curt wants his turn, stands up and blows out wads of creamy man juice all over my bed. Did I say how much I love young blonds?

NBA: Spurs can move closer to title but Heat are masters in rebounding from a loss
Published on Jun 12, 2014 5:30 PM
MIAMI (AFP) - The San Antonio Spurs can move within one win of their fifth NBA title with a victory over reigning champions Miami in Game Four of the NBA Finals tomorrow morning (Singapore time).
San Antonio handed the Heat their first home loss of the play-offs, shooting a stunning 76 per cent in the first half to win Game Three 111-92 and take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven championship series.
The Spurs are the first team since 1989 to return to the finals after losing Game Seven in the finals the year before.
Their bruised egos simply will not let them forget last year's seventh-game loss to the Heat.

1. Is there a user manual anywhere? It wasn't on the CD (which had a bunch of empty language folders where it should be) and it's not on the Samsung web site anywhere.
2. I'm coming from a Smartphone and I used profiles all the time, especially Automatic (switch to vibrate when Calendar shows in meeting) - is that functionality in WM 6.0 Professional? I would find it hard to believe that you can't do that and have to manually set your phone to vibrate all the time.
3. Just today I noticed that the finger-mouse button only responds to a second click. It's 100% consistent - almost like I have to double-click every time to do something and it doesn't matter if I make the second click soon after or a while after the first click. Any ideas as to what might cause that? Some weird setting? Hopefully not a hardware flaw... I have rebooted and it's still happening.
4. And finally, what's a surefire way for me to check whether GPS is working?
Thanks in advance!

Wii U
Get a brand new Wii U in the UK from Asda for 199 pounds!
- Back To:

Not bad for those who want a brand new Wii U at a cheaper price. The Deluxe version is also cheaper for £249!
Intel Core 2 Duo 6320 (1.86Ghz), 4GB Ram, ATI Radeon 5450 HD
LOL i'd love to see people defend this. They're practically giving them away at this point.
Hello, I'm a British person.
****** 8 GB one is worth about $150.
Still not worth it for £200. Wii launched at £179 and had a better lineup.
DLC is a method of corporate profiteering. Will you buy into it?
It's even cheaper at ShopTo where it's UK£189. Probably these prices are close to the trade prices.
The basic Wii U is a pile of ****. IF you're going to buy one then get the premium. At £250 premium is still too much.
The monster Hunter Bundle comes out in 2 weeks and that is £300. THAT should be £250 retail. That would be a reasonable deal for the wii U currently.
The most I would pay for a wii U basic is £100. I'm not joking.
It's even cheaper at ShopTo where it's UK£189. Probably these prices are close to the trade prices.
That's the best site but tehy got the MH bundle for £310. This is the bundle that should cost £250.
err no...
Deluxe for £150 or i'll wait for a better deal.
From: D_Rich_King | #004
Still not worth it for £200. Wii launched at £179 and had a better lineup.
No it didn't. It really didn't, what did wii have? Zelda which came out on GC. that's it. At least Wii U has a ton of 360 ports even if they exist elsewhere. They are both bad in terms of exclusives but wii U certainly had a better lineup than wii. The wii was overpriced as well but cheap compared to competition. Wi U is expensive compared to competition because Wii U' competition for next gen aren't out. the wii had £429 PS3 and £300 360 to compete with. For what it was. Wii wasn't cheap.
From: Chocobo115 | #007
err no...
That's not realistic until another 2 years, of course we would love it to be that low. The Delux goes for £300 retail. That is a joke right now. It should go for low 200.
that monster Hunter bundle is the best bundle to get but it's £310 quid online and £330 retail. That is an effin joke. Unless Asda sell it less than that we'll see.
Also by the time Zelda Wind Waker comes out or Pikmin 3 the premium Wii U HAS to be around 250 and in terms of bundles. IF they think they can still sell £300+ bundles with 1 game they will continue to see terrible sales like now.
You can get a 500GB Slim PS3 with 5 quality games for £250, an elite 256GB 360 for £250 with 5 retail games and an extra controller.
A wii U premium costs £300 with 32GB flash memory. Jut imagine if Wii U had a HDD. this thing would go for £400+. I'm glad Nintendo are seeing awful sales.

I think the forums are very helpful to both customers and authors. It allows customers to ask support questions, site questions, and allows them to communicate with authors.
Yes all of these can be achieved on the item page but we all know it does happen sometimes.
It allows authors to ask staff questions about their file, generate feedback from other authors.
Staff can talk to customers about the site, their files, and suggestions.
The forums integration is also excellent, with RSS Feeds and profile linkage.
Some downfalls of this forum is it don't fell like a forum. Why is there an off topic forum? If you post in there two things happen.
One – You get flamed for not 'being serious' Two – You get no replies.
This bothers me why is this a forum if you can not have off topic discussions.
I propose that Envato makes the forums more defined. More Categorical.

GreenLanternCorps Green Lantern Corps YKTTW Discussion
|Green Lantern Corps
Related to There Is Another but a lil different. Basically, the protagonist is bestowed/introduced with supernatural abilities that not even he/she fully comprehends. Either they or the viewer is lead to believe that they are the only one in the universe to be blessed/cursed with their bizarre powers. Turns out they're/we're dead wrong. Not only are they multiple persons who possess the exact same/similar abilities, but apparently they've all come together and made a profitable lil industry about it, which certain members in certain areas. Storywise, this can go down in different ways: Often his follow peers are inflated and condencending towards the protagonist due to his/her inexperience, giving leway into an episode where their base gets attacked by the corporation's archnemis and our hero has to save all their sorry asses. Other times, despite having the same powers, the hero's methods will clash with anothers. Examples: Gary Hobson of Early Edition (and us) believes he is the only "man who gets tomorrow's paper today", till he starts meeting others. One of the first being some guy from New York who the antithesis of everything humble Hobson is: The guy uses the paper to give him an edge in the stock market, owns a chain fancy restaurants, and even has a hired team of people who carry out the paper's tasks for him. BTVS Really knew how to distill the whole Chose One thing. Then came the series finale. American Dragon Jake Long. While it is mentioned early on that Jake's the designated dragon of the States, we really don't in full effect until this global gathering that takes place in one episode, where we meet everyone from the Australian Dragon to the Egyptian dragon. Basically, being The Chosen One doesn't mean being the Only One.

Title: Covet
Author: Tracey Garvis-Graves
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: September 17, 2013
Publisher: Dutton Adult
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Book Description:
What if the life you wanted, and the woman you fell in love with, belonged to someone else?
Chris and Claire Canton's marriage is on life support. Downsized during the recession and out of work for a year, Chris copes by retreating to a dark place where no one can reach him, not even Claire. When he's offered a position that will keep him away from home four nights a week, he dismisses Claire's concern that time apart could be the one thing their fragile union can't weather. Their suburban life may look idyllic on the outside, but Claire has never felt so disconnected from Chris, or so lonely.
Local police officer Daniel Rush used to have it all, but now he goes home to an empty house every night. He pulls Claire over during a routine traffic stop and runs into her again at the 4th of July parade. When Claire is hired to do some graphic design work for the police department, her friendship with Daniel grows, and soon they're spending hours together.
Claire loves the way Daniel makes her feel, and the way his face lights up when she walks into the room. Daniel knows that Claire's marital status means their relationship will never be anything other than platonic. But it doesn't take long before Claire and Daniel are in way over their heads, and skating close to the line that Claire has sworn she'll never cross.
This book squeezed my heart until it burst.
It's phenomenal how Tracey Garvis-Graves takes the most mundane stories in life and makes them extraordinary. I cried in this book more than once. Several parts hit so close to home that I was quite taken aback. When you drive by nice neighborhoods with the perfectly manicured lawns and children outside playing and laughing, you envision a happy couple, a happy family, waiting behind those closed doors. Neighborhood get-togethers are full of laughter and gossip; and friends help each other with carpools and cookie bakes. You would never believe that behind the laughter of one woman attending these neighborhood gatherings, even among all of her friends,she is feeling so alone.
So is the story of Claire Canton. A woman desperately craving for a touch, some attention, some comment from her husband that she is beautiful and sexy and worth the time to be with. Mind you, this was not the similarity I shared with Claire; it was actually the hardship that Claire and her husband had to endure during the long period he was unemployed. It was the anxiety and the repetitive routine of scanning the want ads and waiting for headhunters to call at the prospect of a job–the scaling down and doing what needed to be done in order to scrape by. Her realistic take on this strenuous hardship of a husband losing his job was all too real, and the author's narrative was so eloquently spot on. The author describes the slow decline of that family infrastructure, as well as Claire's journey to discovering what she needed most in life. In turn, she also describes it's beautiful ascent.
I was there with Claire the entire time. I thought about her even when I wasn't reading about her. I thought about her as I cooked, as I was playing with my daughter, as I sifted through old pictures during the three years of our own financial instability. And I think of her when I look at my neighbors who I pass and wave to everyday, knowing that they have their own private stories–their own book that could be written.
When Tracey Garvis-Graves states that she will be writing a new book, I have complete faith in her artistic talents as a writer. She weaves a story too precious not to be read, and it will call to you just like it did for me. She adds soul to her books. Not just heart, but a soul.

Christ-Follower Participant's Guide
What does a follower of Christ actually look like, and how can I become one? Christ-follower focuses on the fundamentals of the Christian faith, going directly to the words of Jesus in Luke chapter 6 to answer important questions like, Who does Jesus claim to be? How does he pray? Whom does he bless? How does he treat his enemies? How does he say we should view ourselves? And what does this mean for me today? This dynamic, multi-media, six-week study is packed with Scripture-based teaching, engaging questions and action steps, video discussion starters, and more to help you grow in your relationship with Christ as you take steps to becoming a doer of the Word rather than a hearer of the Word. You will discover how to live the passionate and committed life of a Christ-follower.

For the next six sessions, we will use Jesus' words as a spiritual mirror. Do we reflect the image of Jesus in our actions? in how we spend our time with God? in our interactions with others? Do we reflect God's image that is within each of us? if you want to know what a follower of Christ really looks like and how you can become one, this guide has been designed as a tool for you to use to discover that. each of the six sessions of the study goes directly to the words of Jesus in luke 6, taking you deep by providing 1. tools for personal reflection on the daily devotions 2. discussion questions for small groups, youth groups, and families 3. action steps to help you become doers of the word, not just hearers of the word let's discover how to live passionate, devoted, connected, and committed lives as followers of Jesus Christ. You will have the opportunity to discover or rediscover intentional personal growth and experience a deeper level of sharing and reflection as you become a fully devoted follower of Christ. 7 [ hoW to use this guiDe ] in luke 6, Jesus speaks to us, his followers, and gives us meaningful and practical lessons on how to live as doers of the word, not just hearers of the word. these lessons encapsulate much of what we believe to be the core of Christian living, and they explain in vibrant detail the fundamentals of the Christian faith. in other words, they're a picture of what it looks like to be a Christ-follower. this guide has been designed to help you strengthen your spiritual walk as you: �WorshipGodenthusiastically �Connectwiththechurchregularly �Growinmaturityandconsistency �Serveothersunselfishly �Shareyourfaitheffectively to that end, each session contains the following elements: Personal Discovery in this study you'll go in depth with luke 6, with each session focusing on a different topic in the chapter. You'll start off by reading a short introduction to the topic. 8 H ow to U se t His G Uide Read this section is designed to help you go into a deeper study time. You will read a selected passage from luke 6, making notes of what stood out to you in the text. this is a time to go into the word and prayerfully consider what God is telling you in these verses. Questions will be available to assist you with your observations of the passage. All scripture passages referenced in this study are from the New international Version (niv), unless otherwise noted. Reflect the reflection questions in each section will challenge you to look deeper into how the topic relates to you. this is a time of learning from God and learning about yourself and others. Action Steps this section provides practical suggestions to help you live out the truths you learn in the study. Group Discussion/Youth Discussion/Family Discussion our hope is that you'll come together with other individuals, couples, your family, a small group, or a youth group and experience this journey in community. You'll watch the five-minute DVD introduction at the start of your meeting and then dive into these 9 questions for discussion. these discussion questions will help you get conversation started as you hash out what it means to be a Christ-follower. Notes this is a place for you to record your insights and observations throughout your study. in addition, you might want to purchase a separate notebook or journal for some extended journaling on the topics in this study. Additional Resources if you're still thirsty for more teaching, you can visit the ChristFollower web site at MyChrist-Followerresources.com. there you'll find resources for further study, sermon notes, and promotional materials for your church to use so that your entire congregation can be aligned in learning these truths together--from your pastoral leadership to your small groups to your youth ministries. there's something for everyone. 10 Luke 6:1�11 Se SSion one CAlm Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" --Luke 6:9 11 [ PersonAl ConSider DisCovery ] By Greg Surratt Stress. Are you familiar with the word? what has stressed you out today? Getting to school or work on time? A problem with the house or a new client? Pressure from family or friends to do something you don't have time or resources to do? we live in a stress-filled society--too many things to do, not enough time to do them. too many people clamoring for your attention. Kids, parents, friends, and neighbors all want a piece of you. You have birthday parties, sports practice, and retirement parties to attend, and before you realize what's happening, you haven't eaten dinner as a family in over a week and your calendar is packed for the foreseeable future. we are moving faster and faster. we've eliminated the margins in our lives. it's just overwhelming. when you find yourself stressing out, something is out of balance. have you ever driven a car that had a tire out of balance? or had a front end out of alignment? it doesn't work right. when your life isn't working right, oftentimes what has happened is that something has pushed the important things to the margins so that your life is out of balance. we need to understand that life works better when you order it around God, not your BlackBerry. 12 se ssion one C alm what if we superimposed our stress-filled lives over God's word? what do we find in scripture that can help us to live lives that glorify God? in his word, God commanded built-in stress relief every seven days. his first commands to the Jewish people about the sabbath are found in exodus 20:8�11: remember the sabbath day by keeping it holy. six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the lord your God. on it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. therefore the lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. God made us to work. work is not a part of the curse that was brought upon humanity when Adam and eve sinned. Adam and eve worked. they had responsibilities in the garden before the curse. God made you to work. when you work hard and work well, you grow both internally and externally. that's a good thing. God says, "work. work hard. For six days, knock yourself out. Go for it. But the seventh day is mine. No work. on the seventh day, i don't want you finishing up what you didn't get done on the previous six. i don't want you planning ahead what you're going to do on the next six. it's holy to me. it's a sabbath rest." 13 For the Jewish people, the sabbath shapes the calendar. the entire week points toward it. Nan Fink's memoir, Stranger in the Midst, is a story of her conversion to Judaism. one of the most notable changes in her daily routine was the addition of sabbath rest. in the book, she describes the preparations her family made for the sabbath: on Friday afternoon, at the very last minute, we'd rush home, stopping at the grocery to pick up supplies. Flying into the kitchen we'd cook ahead for the next twenty-four hours. soup and salad, baked chicken, yams and applesauce for dinner, and vegetable cholent and lasagna for the next day's lunch. sometimes i'd think how strange it was to be in such a frenzy to get ready for a day of rest. shabbat preparations had their own rhythm, and once the table was set and the house straightened, the pace began to slow. "it's your turn first in the shower," i'd call to Michael. "okay, but it's getting late," he'd answer, concerned about starting shabbat at sunset. in the bathroom i'd linger at the mirror, examining myself, stroking the little lines on my face, taking as much time as i could to settle into a mood of quietness. when i joined Michael and his son for the lighting of the candles, the whole house seemed transformed. Papers and books were neatly piled, flowers stood in a vase on the table, and the golden light of the setting sun filled the room. . . . 14 se ssion one C alm shabbat is like nothing else. time as we know it does not exist for these twenty-four hours, and the worries of the week soon fall away. A feeling of joy appears. the smallest object, a leaf or a spoon, shimmers in a soft light, and the heart opens up. shabbat is a meditation of unbelievable beauty.1 when God made the law of keeping the sabbath, it was intended to be a blessing, like Nan describes. Unfortunately, not everyone experienced it that way. "one sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels" (luke 6:1). Picture this: it was sabbath. Jesus kept the sabbath. he had probably gone to the synagogue earlier that morning with his friends. i envision it as a warm, breezy day, kind of laid-back. they were just chilling. they were talking a walk. Jesus' disciples were making their way through a grain field. one of them grabbed a little stalk of grain, maybe broke off the end, put the other end in his mouth, rubbed it together, took the hull off, and was snacking on it. some of the Pharisees asked, "why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?" here came the sabbath police--the self-righteous, religious guys. "Caught you! Caught you! You're doing work on the sabbath." 15 the Jewish religious leaders had established a kind of policy manual for the sabbath. the policy manual had thirty-nine rules . . . thirty-nine things you could not do on the sabbath, all very well defined. one of the rules was that if you were a farmer, you could not harvest grain on the sabbath. You could not harvest anything on the sabbath because that would mean you were working. that makes sense, doesn't it? notes 16 But the religious people were trying to trip up Jesus. they were keeping rules for the rules' sake and completely missing the blessing behind God's law. how had the sabbath changed from a stress-relieving, relationship-building miniholiday to a complicated, rule-keeping drudgery being policed by selfrighteous hypocrites? how did it get there? the answer, in short, is religion. se ssion one C alm isn't religion a good thing? it depends on how you define it. My definition is this: Religion is people's attempt to please God by adhering to rules and regulations. it reduces our relationship with God to rules and regulations. the problem is, you can't have right actions without a right heart. we must be in relationship with God in order to live in obedience toward him. But religion focuses on people's work, not God's sacrifice. rules and religion without relationship only add stress to our lives, and this is not what God intends for us. someone once said that religion is spelled d-o. Do. we ask what we have to do to come into relationship with God. But Christianity is spelled d-o-n-e. Done. it's what Jesus has already done. it's finished. Because Christ has done the work for us already, we have the freedom to rest. Do you think if you rested, your marriage would be better? if you rested, would you be a better parent? A better employee? it makes sense. the sabbath is a once-a-week reminder to stop doing and just rest in the fact that God loves you. 17 [ reAD ] Carefully read through the following passage, making note of each mention of the sabbath, as well as the major characters in the story. Feel free to underline, circle, and make notes. what, if anything, stands out to you? what questions do you have about this passage? One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" Jesus answered them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions."Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled.The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" 18 note s se ssion one C alm He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored. But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus (Luke 6:1�11). 1. this passage tells two different sabbath stories. what seems to be the issue to the Pharisees in each instance? to Jesus? 2. in verses 1�5, Jesus answers the Pharisees' objections by referencing a story about David. read 1 samuel 21:1�6. what similarities are there between these two situations? what do you think Jesus was trying to teach with this example? 3. in verses 6�11, Jesus responds to the Pharisees' objections with a question, stretching their understanding of good, evil, and the law. read Galatians 3:19�25. According to Paul, what is the true purpose of the law? 4. Compare the Pharisees' response to Jesus' teaching with the response of the disciples and the man with the shriveled hand. in what or whom does each group put its faith? 5. with all of this in mind, what, then, is the true purpose of the sabbath? see Mark 2:27�28. 19 For further study, spend some time reading other examples of what Jesus said and did on the sabbath. For example, study the stories in luke 4:31�37 and John 5:1�18. write down what you have discovered. Concordances and topical Bibles are useful tools for this type of study. Don't have one?

Do you think your faith is characterized more by laws and rules or by relationship? in other words, do you tend to cling to "dos and don'ts" or to the person of Jesus Christ? why do you think this is? 2. what is your understanding of sabbath? Do you regularly set aside one day a week to rest? Do you think this is something Christians today should be doing? why or why not? 3. Jesus showed compassion to the disciples and to the man with the shriveled hand. what basic human needs did he meet in each situation? what needs do you see around you in your relationships and your community? how can you show a similar compassion in these situations? 4. in John 13:34, Jesus says, "A new command i give you: love one another. As i have loved you, so you must love one another." think about your small group, your church, and the body of Christ in general. Do you think they are characterized by their love or by the rules of their religion? 21 [ ACtion stePs ] write out a prayer to God, confessing the ways in which you have chosen law over mercy. Ask him to transform your perspective, allowing you to see others as he does. set aside one day this week to practice the sabbath--resting, spending time with the lord, and looking for opportunities to do good in his name. Practice turning your attention outward from your own needs to the needs of those around you. spend time prayerfully meditating on the two stories told in luke 6:1�11. try to picture yourself within the story--feel the hunger of the disciples, the texture of the grain. see the synagogue, the man with the shriveled hand. Feel the tension, the anger of the Pharisees. then imagine the mercy and kindness of Jesus entering into these situations. Journal your thoughts in a separate notebook. Memorize Micah 6:8 this week. 22 se ssion one C alm [ grouP DisCussion ] welcome to your small group study of luke 6! what better way to enrich your individual learning than by finding yourself in community with others? the essence of a small group is people in relationship with God and with one another--it is being in community. sharing your stories, prayers, and reflections is an integral part of this study.

I am grateful for how you choose to expose our hearts to your Word. I ask that you do that today in your own way. Go beyond me, God.Where there has been a lot of me, blot that out. Deal with my heart, and give me the grace to stretch out my hands in response to you. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. 25 [ youth DisCussion ] Youth group can be a great time to focus on Jesus and what he taught, and this study on luke 6 is a great place to start. it's Jesus telling us what it means to follow him in our everyday lives. some of the details are different, because we live in a global community now, where we can communicate instantly with people all over the world. But the ideas are the same--Christ-followers do what we hear God tell us. talking about this stuff in a small group with friends who are also believers will help you grow in your relationship with God and with one another. so make sure you bring your Bible (if you forget, download a Bible app for your phone), this study guide, and your notes so you can talk intelligently about what you're learning. t Hiss ession 's [ big ] i dea Jesus cares more about you than anything humans can create.

The clock is ticking for the highly-endangered Florida grasshopper sparrow, but a new project recently green-lit by a federal agency may offer some hope for avoiding extinction. Scientists believe there are roughly 200 of the tiny birds remaining in the wild. Two years ago, scientists found the lowest count of the birds in history: last year's numbers dipped even lower.
Fire ants are notorious Florida invasives, leaving a trail of painful welts and blisters in their wake. Those pesky exotic intruders also happen to be a serious threat to some of the state's most vulnerable endemic species. This includes the Florida grasshopper sparrow, which recently made the March/April cover of Audubon Magazine as "the most endangered bird in the continental United States."
A state agency is considering designating large tracts of state-owned lands as "surplus," including sections that are home to a near-extinct bird endemic to Florida. Surplus lands can be made available for public sale or trade, or used in ways that differ from their original intention as conservation lands.
One of Florida's endemic species, the Florida grasshopper sparrow, is on the path to extinction. The bird lives only in the dry prairies south of Orlando and it's believed that less than 200 of the highly-specialized sparrows remain in the wild, though funding doesn't exist to adequately track the population. Part of the problem has been drumming up the public support -- and money -- necessary to study what has happened to the subspecies.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College women's ice hockey team continued a trend of high, offensive output, defeating visiting Maine, 7-4, Sunday at Schneider Arena.
When taking into account a 9-3 victory over Yale Tuesday and Saturday's 3-3 tie with the Black Bears, the Friars registered 19 goals in one week.
Saturday, Providence was led by a special teams unit that went 3 for 4 on the power play.
The key period was the second. Maine knotted the game, 2-2, at 3:00 of the middle period when Tori Pasquariello scored on a breakaway. Roughly nine minutes later, the Friars answered with their own rush, as sophomore Corinne Buie (Edina, Minn.) skated with speed into the slot and converted a wrist shot from the right side for her fourth of the season and a 3-2, PC lead.
Still in the second, Providence extended the cushion to 4-2 at 16:49. Towards the end of a Friar power play consisting of heavy pressure, sophomore Rebecca Morse blasted home her first of the season from the left point.
In the third period, Providence inflated the lead to 7-2, courtesy an even strength score by junior Jessica Cohen (Anchorage, Alaska), and power play strikes from sophomore Maggie Pendleton (Woodbury, Minn.) and junior Jessica Vella (Pickering, Ontario).
Maine's Chloe Tinkler and Myriam Crousette each added a late goal to round out the scoring at 7-4.
Initially, Maine had taken a 1-0 edge just 3:09 into the game, when freshman Jennifer More banged home a Dominique Goutsis pass to the right of the crease. Providence answered eight seconds later, as freshman Allison Micheletti (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) converted on her second of the season, switching from forehand to backhand just to the left of the slot.
At 11:18 of the first, fellow freshman Beth Hanrahan (Poolesville, Md.) capitalized on a brilliant pass up ice from Buie. Hanrahan skated in with a partial breakaway and made it 2-1 Friars heading into the first intermission.
In goal, sophomore Nina Riley (Lexington, Mass.) collected her second victory of the week, halting 27 shots. Freshman Hillary Drake (Mosinee, Wisc.) also saw action, stopping four Black Bear attempts late in the third.
Maine's Brittany Ott and Kylie Smith stopped 28 and four shots, respectively.
The Friars outshot the visitors, 39-35.
Providence return to action on Saturday, November 12 when they visit Hockey East rival UConn for a 1 p.m. face-off. Providence College's next home game is Sunday, November 13. New Hampshire will visit for a 2 p.m. start and tickets are available by calling (401) 865 GOPC or by visiting Friars.com.

A diesel shop foreman/mechanic performs maintenance and supervises others' work on a variety of diesel engines. There are many different types of diesel engines that need maintenance and repairs, so mechanics may work on trucks, buses, construction vehicles, boats, and even locomotives. The work space for a diesel shop foreman/mechanic may be limited to an indoor garage, or it may include working on the road with some light traveling. When working at the garage, most of the foreman/mechanic's time is spent working with a team of mechanics, supervisors, and service managers. However, this individual must also build relationships with customers to ensure repeat business for the company. Additionally, in their capacity as a foreman, this individual must supervise the work of others, providing discipline, instruction, and advice as needed.Read More...
To become a diesel shop foreman/mechanic, one must obtain a commercial drivers license (A or B), have completed a vocational training course (usually six months or a year), and have a high school diploma or equivalent. Most garages also offer on-the-job training. The diesel shop foreman/mechanic must stay up to date with new techniques and materials. Because of the nature of the business, a diesel shop foreman/mechanic is expected to work weekends, holidays, and (at times) on call. To ensure high quality, a diesel shop foreman/mechanic should have strong attention to detail, good customer service skills, and a strong understanding of electrical systems, engines, and all working parts of the engine. Strong adherence to safety procedures is a must.

For Diesel Shop Foremen who go on to become Maintenance Managers, career progression may result in slightly increased compensation. On average, a Maintenance Manager earns $59K annually. A Diesel Technician or an Automotive Service Manager is a typical transition from a Diesel Shop Foreman role.
Diesel Shop Foremen report using a pretty varied skill set on the job. Most notably, skills in Industrial Hydraulics, Heavy Equipment Repair, Electronic Troubleshooting, and Welding are correlated to pay that is above average. Those listing Automotive Engine Repair as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Those educated in Electronic Troubleshooting tend to be well versed in Heavy Equipment Repair.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Folks with fewer than five years of experience take home $48K on average. Interestingly, those who have worked for five to 10 years report receiving a smaller median salary of $48K. For Diesel Shop Foremen, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $53K. Old hands who claim more than two decades on the job enjoy average earnings of $55K.

The members of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam staged a demonstration here on Tuesday condemning the Centre for the reported move to disinvest five per cent of its stakes in Neyveli Lignite Corporation.
Hundreds of party cadre raised slogans against the Central Government. They cautioned the UPA government against taking any steps that would be against the interests of the workers. The protestors said the profit-making 'Navarathna' public sector units should not be privatised.
Addressing the protestors, Mayor V.V.Rajan Chellappa said the Centre was increasing the prices of petrol and diesel frequently. The country's economy was in deep crisis because of the falling rupee value.
Stating that the party supremo and Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa alone had the capability to set the nation's economy in the right path, he wanted the party cadre to work for the victory of the party in all the 40 Parliamentary constituencies in the next Lok Sabha election.
Party Minorities' Welfare Wing functionary A.Justine Selvaraj, party MLAs, M.Muthuramalingam and A.K.Bose, spoke.

I am really thrilled that the 2014 FIFA World Cup is finally here. I truly believe it's the biggest and most anticipated football tournament in the world. I am really excited as the tournament is just a week away. My friends and I have already started discussing our favourite teams, players and strategies. I have a great affinity towards football because it's a game of pace and action.
My favourite team is Spain, and I'm really looking forward to them winning this time just as they did in 2010. I support Spain because I feel they host players from two of the best teams in the world — Real Madrid and Barcelona. I'm a big fan of Andrés Iniesta and consider him as one of the best players of this generation.
I feel Spain have a great chance of winning with his experience and natural style of game. Also, knowing that he plays for one of my favourite teams, Barcelona, is just the cherry on the icing.
Another player I admire is Argentina's Lionel Messi. He is a really great player, but it's sad to see him play against Iniesta in the national squad although they share such great gameplay while playing for Barcelona.
I am going to follow my team all the way this time. I can definitely see this year being a highlight in World Cup history with so many footballing greats playing their last World Cup, and also with new talent coming in. With the carnival feel and party atmosphere in Brazil, if there's anything that I am sure of, it's that this year's World Cup is going to be super-duper hot and exciting!

Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce is proud to see Mario Melchiot make Holland's Euro2008 squad.
Bruce said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Mario has made the tournament because he was a doubt.
"Mario has got his reward for an excellent season with us. He's been a great skipper for me and I hope he gets the chance to play some matches.
"A lot of nonsense was written about him and me falling out when he left Birmingham a couple of years ago.
"That just wasn't true, it was a financial decision - he left because Birmingham had been relegated and the club had to cut its cloth.
"Last season I thought he was one of our most consistent players - he gave us a steadying influence on the right side."
