Funny, because he's pretty much "TINO". Tony In Name Only. I don't know everything about Iron Man/Tony Stark, but the guy we saw in the movies isn't the one I've seen in the past. Downey plays his own version of the character, but people like his take because he's a charismatic actor.
RDJ has the avantage of being the only the person to play the live action Iron Man/Tony Stark, unlike Christian Bale and Batman/Bruce Wayne.

By Ted Sares:
He (Victor Ortiz) in his little fantasy world. Only f*ggots surf. He is a wannabe punk rocker
Brandon Rios
I do it for my fans and I do it for my family. I dont do it for myself. I dont have the pleasure of waking and losing weight, running. I hate that sh*t but I do it for my family and my fans out there because I want them to have a good time and see that this is me. Rios.
In some ways he IS similar to Margarito but mostly the differences are stark. Unlike the Tijuana Tornado who is no longer an elite fighter, Rios (29-0-1, 22 KOS) is now coming on as one of the most exciting fighters in boxing. Bam Bam is exciting because of his unrelenting incoming style and brute power, and he has endeared himself to fans with the fact he is never in a dull fight. Says Bob Arum, Well, we got a lot of young guys causing buzz
We got JuanMa [Lopez], [Yuriorkis] Gamboa and [Guillermo] Rigondeaux, who are going to be causing a lot of buzz. But yeah, hes [Rios] is the one.
Style-wise, Rios stalks stuns and closes like Tony used to do, but he begins the stalk faster, has more power (with either hand), and he closes off the ring better. He also has far more all-around technical skills to go with his propensity to be a warrior. Im very aggressive; I like to come forward a lot. Ive always been like thatI like to put a lot of pressure on my opponent. But lately, my trainer still lets me put on pressure, but he wants me to box more. So Im learning boxing now. Im learning both styleswhen I need to fight, Ill fight. When I need to box, Ill box says Rios. Many fans are unaware that he had an astounding amateur record of 230-35) and won the 2004 U.S. championship gold medal in the 125-pound division and earned an alternate position on 2004 U.S. Olympic team..
In his recent outing against game John Murray, he was fighting weight loss fatigue. But if what he did against Murray (31-2) was done when Bam Bam was out of shape, imagine what he would have done he had come in with no weight issues. His unstoppable jackhammer uppercuts launched with both hands were reminiscent of a prime Margaritos and even a slashing Delvin Rodriguezs and were devastating in their accumulative damage as they rendered p Murrays face into gory pulp.
Brandon will never find himself in the kind of scandal Antonio did, but political correctness clearly is not Brandons strong suit (to which the incident in which he mocked Freddie Roachs attests). Still, hell fight like the Tornado and that means you will either have to scoop him up or save him from himself because he doesnt know how to quit. Rios has TRIPLE AAA HEART. Hideously impaired vision, blood, low blows, or being decked by painful body shots, will not stop him. Hell get up and keep coming; hell fight their way back. Rios will never quit. And the way he paces back and forth like a caged tiger before the his fights start and the way he smiles when he returns too his corner after each round adds to his aura as a guy with a mean streak.
The Future
Soon, it appears he will be rumbling at 140 as Rios is headed to the junior welterweight division which is great news for his current divisional foes him but bad news for his new opponents. Margaritos options (if any) are now limited. Brandons are wide open. Names like Maidana, Bradley, Khan, and Morales begin popping up. Even a dream grudge match with Vicious Victor Ortiz is within the realm of possibility. Ríos says that while they were growing up in Garden City, Kansas, he often got the better of Ortiz during sparring. However, his relationship with Vicious Victor went south after an incident involving Brandon, Victor, and Victors younger brother, Temo.
There are other more complicated subplots that account for the bad feeling between Ortiz and the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy. Suffice it to say that Bam Bam has many things to say about Victor and most are obscene.
So, is Rios the new Margarito? I say NO! I say Rios is a real original

******* dickhead I mean the ******* girl killed herself and she was a hormonal emotional 15 year old girl like honestly this guy has no clue what it like to be depressed, attention whores want attention because they want to feel loved and accepted, and most likely she didn't get the attention and love she needed at home.

That's a good point too. At that age it's more about social acceptance for her, it's in human nature for social connection but her decisions were ignorant. Everything can look all nice and dandy at home but that's just what it looks like, the greener side of the road isn't usually what most people picture it to be, though if she wasn't happy this is not the way to speak it, and that just proves she was desperate for some attention. Though still, I find it stupid they glorify her death and though most people don't find it imperative for ones approval there is a time in everyones life when they've wanted someones approval. I like his overal message that we shouldn't listen to the dickheads shouting "Ur a loner, u suck, ur gay" and we should focus on how we see ourselves.

It's called like this:

What I want to do is to use a default phrase when the variable is not defined, but when I pass an undefined variable to

And just to stir things up a little, how about Diana & Nikon, by Janet Malcolm. (No, it's not about Princess Diana and her camera) I believe there was a revised edition of the original, but I haven't read it.
You gotta know how the non-photographer artists will understand photography things, and Sontag adds to that understanding. That she expresses herself well is something to learn from, but of course I found things to disagree about. She's probably well know because she expresses herself very well. I had to read "On Photography" in college.
I'm really interested in photo history more than photo critique.
From Adams to Stieglitz: Pioneers of Modern Photography - Nancy Newhall
How to Look at Photographs - David Finn
And, while not criticism, it is a good read:
Celebrating the Negative - John Loengard
... and others already mentioned. ;)
Philosophy of photography from Flusser:
"The pleasure of good photographs" by Gerry Badger, and anything else by him for that matter.
I have an encyclopedia of photography, originally purchased around 1969. If I got a good offer I might consider selling it. Be advised it would be expensive to ship.
An alternative to the Newhall history - The New History Of Photography, by Michel Frizot.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned John Szarkowski - "The Photographer's Eye", "Mirrors and Windows", and especially "Looking At Photographs". Also check out any prefaces from the books published under his watch at MOMA. It's worth it to track down his essay from the OOP 4 vol. Atget retrospective, one of the most eloquent and insightful essays ever written on a photographer. On the flip side, Richard Bolton's "Contest of Meaning" was required reading during the initial MFA bubble in the late nineties. While interesting for its contrarian stance to the prevailing modernist, historical POV as laid down by the powers that be at MOMA, "Contest of Meaning" hasn't stood the test of time as gracefully as the humanist perspective that Szarkowski championed.
Bill Jay was a fun, insouciant critic of photography as well being a photographer himself. His portraits of other photographers are pretty great...http://www.billjayonphotography.com
I've never been able to understand how Sontag's lackluster work became required reading for undergraduate students in photography. My experience has been that students' work gets noticeably worse after they have read "On Photography".

You've recently had a request to add a few virtual machines to your Clustered Hyper-V farm and you've obliged them and created it using SCVMM's administrator console. You've created the network as a "Local Only" meaning that the VMs can communicate with each other as well as the Parent partition on the physical host (as opposed to private where the VMs only see other, no physical host). Your customer is happy…
After adding the few virtual networks for your customer, you've now noticed that exactly one network is listed in your list of "available" cluster networks as we show in the following -
You know this has something to do with the recently added networks but the "math" isn't adding up as you actually added 5 new local only networks. Why isn't there five of these listed?
After some investigation, and I will not lie – reaching out to folks asking what the @#$@ – I've found the answer for how "Clustering" see's these private and local networks. In my case, I added 5 sandbox environments for our team to test and use Configuration Manager vNext and with each there is a private network created on each host. Therefore, in SCVMM Admin Console I see the following list of "like" networks -
So why do I only see 1 "Cluster Internal Network" when I added 5 of them?
The answer to this question is so simple that it is scary that I couldn't make sense out of it. Did you? I sure didn't…
Each Internal Network, since local only to the host it is currently running on was configured with the exact same subnet configuration. Thus, each virtual NIC was configured with the following characteristics:
IP: 192.168.0.X Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Since this is the exact same "network" at Layer 3, Cluster is aware that all 5 represent the same exact network. That's it. That is why you create 2, 5, or 50 but see only one Internal Network in your cluster networks. Simple, smart, and very, very logical…
Because these are local networks, you should disable cluster communication across these NICs. This is a best practice to control which NICs Cluster should use for cluster communication.
To do this, do the following:
Never fear, there's always an answer somewhere near. The digging and understanding of new technologies such as clustering + virtualization makes it a blast as we discover just how things work under the hood. I hope this little nugget of information will help save you time scratching your head.

Senate Seeks Answers From Google About Business Practices
Congress has questions, so it will do what everyone else does, it will look to Google for answers and go straight to the top for them.
Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman and former longtime CEO, will testify before Congress on September 21 about the company's business practices, setting up what will likely be one of the most crucial Capitol Hill showdowns in Google's history, CNET is reporting.
The global leader in search engine advertising is in the midst of an antitrust probe by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) following accusations that it abused its market dominance. The FTC is expected to look into complaints from Google's rivals that its search results favor the company's own services, among other concerns.
Schmidt has promised that Google would cooperate fully with US antitrust regulators. This, after a snub by Google in February, when members of another Senate Judiciary subcommittee investigating online practices were miffed when Google did not appear before them.
Earlier this year, Google lawyer Kent Walker faced tough questions about accusations that the search company profited from online piracy and lawmakers have also raised concerns about Google's privacy practices, notably the company's collection of wifi data from its Street View cars.
Many market watchers believe Google will strike a settlement with the FTC to avoid the distraction and business risk that would come with a prolonged congressional scrutiny, Reuters reports.
Google controls more than two-thirds of the global search market. However, an ever-changing web of technologies, such as social networking, smartphone applications and location-based services, offer new ways for people to find information online, putting pressure on Google to find new ways to stay on top.

Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest, there lived many chimpanzees. One dark night, a group of hunters came to the forest to capture the chimpanzees. Fearing for their lives, the chimps ran and hid in the mountains. When it was daytime, the hunters left the forest without any luck. But they forgot about the 10-year-old boy, Richard, who had come along with them. The chimps took care of Richard and they became very close. Everything was fine until one day when the hunters came back. The chimps were caught off-guard as the hunters had attacked during the day. Richard and two other chimps were killed in the attack and the hunters left soon after. Having lost the boy and the other chimps, the head of the tribe decided to teach the hunters a lesson. The chimps sent one of their own to the town to find the hunters. After a few days, the chimp came across one of the hunters and recognised him. He went back to the forest to report this to the head, who laid out a plan to attack the hunters' house. They went to the hunters' house and wrecked everything in sight and scared all the people living near by. The hunters learned their lesson and gave up hunting. The brave chimps returned to their forest and lived happily without being bothered again by the hunters.

Son of a great fiction filmmaker, the silky-smooth Max Ophüls (Letter from an Unknown Woman), Marcel Ophüls makes the world's most demanding and insightful documentaries about the queasy moral questions that lie within world history. This three-film retrospective is especially notable for the presence of The Memory of Justice, Ophüls's 1976 masterpiece about the Nuremburg trials and the nature of "crimes against humanity" in the post-WWII world. Memory was assailed in its day for being unfocused, but the filmmaker's roving style, darting from Dresden to Ho Chi Minh City in a blink of the mind's eye, will seem especially apt to today's hypertext generation. Alongside Memory sits Ophüls's monumental Sorrow and the Pity, a four-hour meditation on the nature of the words collaboration and resistance (and, alas, a punch line in Annie Hall). A Marcel Ophüls film frustrates your certainties, requests a rigorous reexamination of the point it just made, and never lands in a place where it can feel secure. In other words, a Marcel Ophüls film has never been more essential than now. (Note: All screenings begin at noon.)--Matthew Wilder

October 29-30 The Troubles We've Seen: A History of Journalism in Wartime
Lagoon Cinema, 1320 Lagoon Ave., Mpls.; 612.825.6006. Opens October 14
Following his criminally underrated Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, this is the second movie by small-screen hunk-turned-lefty auteur George Clooney--and his second on the subject of TV's power to cause tremors not only in viewers' hearts, but in their heads as well. Whatever self-flattery may be inherent in that enterprise is made irrelevant here by the depth of Clooney's research into a pinnacle moment in the history of American journalism. There has probably never been a bad time to make a studio movie about the threat that corporations pose to free speech, but it's hard to imagine a better time than now for Good Night, and Good Luck., Clooney's hard-hitting black-and-white portrait of CBS newscaster Edward R. Murrow and his on-air battles with Joseph McCarthy, the "junior senator from Wisconsin" who made a career of communist witch-hunting in the mid-1950s. (The movie completed production not long before the Times broke the story that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had hired a researcher to investigate the "political leanings" of commentators such as PBS's own Bill Moyers.) Actor David Straithairn channels the chain-smoking Murrow right down to the dead-serious stare that separated the news anchor from any who followed him. But the movie benefits just as much from Clooney's decision to let McCarthy play himself in archival footage--a decision that mirrors Murrow's own brilliant choice to allow the yammering McCarthy to hang himself onscreen. (Besides, the real McCarthy was too uniquely scary for anyone to play as well as the man played himself.) No mere "liberal feel-good movie," as another McCarthy has suggested, Good Night reveals Murrow's ultimate victory in the court of public opinion as the beginning of the end of TV's ability to speak truth to power: As the network, the government, and the sponsors close in on Murrow, forcing him to run celebrity puff pieces in place of investigative journalism (plus ça change...), Clooney's inclusion of vintage cigarette ads doesn't lighten the tension so much as show that the smokes killed Murrow in more ways than one. With each of the inimitable sign-offs that give the movie its title, we have the increasing sense that the broadcaster will need his own good luck as much as anyone. Straithairn will appear in person at Walker Art Center to introduce a screening on October 7 (7:30 p.m.), held a week in advance of the film's opening at Lagoon Cinema. --Rob Nelson

NEWPORT, Ore. -- A Newport-based Coast Guard crew came to the aid of a commercial fishing vessel that was taking on water about 10 miles north of the Yaquina Bay bar.
A Coast Guard spokesman says the crew passed portable dewatering equipment to the 60-foot fishing vessel Endeavor and escorted it to the Port of Newport.
Three people were aboard the fishing vessel Thursday morning. They radioed the Coast Guard to report flooding in the engine room.

WACO'S BRIAN PARDO has given a lot of thought to being on what he calls "the leading edge." The fifty-year-old entrepreneur has recently started a business, Life Partners, that some people see as pushing the limits way too far: Pardo represents clients who want to buy life insurance policies held by terminally ill people, mostly people with AIDS. "I have been accused of speculating in death," he says, "but there is no speculation to this. These people are terminally ill and are going to die. All we are trying to do is provide them with financial assistance.
Buying up insurance benefits is nothing new, although in the past it hasn't been common. The practice, usually arranged privately among family members, has been around since the beginning of the insurance industry three hundred years ago. The AIDS epidemic has mad it common. With more than seventy licensed offices all over the country, Life Partners, founded in 1991, is the largest company specializing in this new market. But it is the kind of business that makes people uneasy, and Pardo is the focus of a controversy over the morality and legality of this enterprise.
Pardo doesn't advertise—although companies similar to his place ads in gay-oriented publications. He says that all of his clients arrange to sell their policies through their lawyers or financial planners. "At this point the AIDS victims are desperate," says Pardo. "Their income has stopped, their health insurance has run out, and they can't make their house payments, much less the monthly premium on their life insurance policy." Pardo helps solve all those problems. For a 3 to 5 percent fee, Pardo explains, his company acts as a clearinghouse for buyers, who purchase the policy for 80 to 85 percent of its face value in exchange for being named the policy owner. The seller is responsible for legal fees and closing costs, so the seller ends up with 65 to 70 percent of the policy's coverage value. Once the transaction is completed, the money is wired into the seller's bank account. The new owner collects at 100 percent when the seller dies. Says Pardo: "It's a win-win situation for everybody." Pardo's clients seem to agree. The companion of one AIDS victim who sold his policy to Life Partners in June says, "There is a definite need for it—it gave my friend peace of mind.
Pardo's modest suite is on a street lined with insurance companies and industrial offices. On his desk is a photo of Pardo and President Jimmy Carter taken in the White House Cabinet Room when Pardo served on Carter's ad hoc committee on alternative energy. Behind the desk hang pictures of Pardo's two daughters and an autographed photo of Ronald Reagan. In vigorous middle age, Pardo hardly looks like a scavenger profiting from the misfortunes of the terminally ill, as some have painted him.
North Dakota securities commissioner Glenn Pomeroy labeled Life Partners "ghoulish, insensitive…and flat-out illegal" and called a press conference at Washingon's National Press Club last August to say so. Pomeroy learned about Life Partners from a letter that one of Pardo's licensees in Florida had written to a friend in North Dakota in which the licensee claimed that one can "make big bucks" buying policies. Pardo agrees that the remarks were unfortunate. "They were also true," he says. Pomeroy heard about the letter and hastily issued a cease and desist order to prevent Pardo from conducting business in North Dakota. Pardo is countersuing Pomeroy and the North American Securities Administrators Association for slander and libel.
But the bad publicity hasn't kept clients away. Says one Waco investor: "It's hard to resist an opportunity to do some good and get a superior return on your investment too." And with certificates of deposit offering 2.5 percent, the return on a Life Parners investment is appealing—25 percent or more in a year is possible. There are risks, Pardo warns. A cure for AIDS could be discovered, or the patient could live longer than 24 months. And the potential for legal entanglements is great. Although this burgeoning industry is not yet regulated, legislation is being discussed that would require licenses both for individuals who sell their own policies and for clients who buy the policies. Other regulations would establish prices and rates of return. But as with any other investment, obvious variables—in this case, the patient's health and life expectancy—are meticulously calculated.
Confidential medical histories of people with AIDS are stacked on Pardo's desk: A form details the medical deterioration of the patients whose insurance policies are for sale. "We don't buy anyone's policy until they have a diagnosis of full-blown AIDS," says Pardo. "We know then that they have at the most twenty-four months to live—it is a death certificate." To an investor, the opportunistic diseases gnawing away at these patients are factors in the decision whether to buy. On one form Pardo shows me that the patient, whose name is in code, has suffered from thrush, cytomegalovirus, herpes, and a litany of other devastating ills. A policy similar to this one was recently published by a Waco businessman, who sees his choice as "relatively secure because of the predictable, short time frame."
With 350,000 cases of AIDS, 1 million to 2 million HIV cases, and $10 billion worth of life insurance policies on victims of the disease, Pardo expected his business to have a lucrative but limited future. Many AIDS victims have bough life insurance before 1985, when AIDS was officially identified as a disease. Now blood tests are required for policies of more than $1000,000—but not for smaller policies, and many are still being purchased.
Pardo says, "The insurance companies are very much against what I am doing. They know that these people will let the policies lapse. Then the insurance companies don't have to pay anything." Insurance companies deny this allegation. Rafael Ayuso, the spokesperson for the Texas Department of Insurance, calls the legality of third-party buyouts "highly questionable," in part because buyouts of insurance policies are


text: Pronation is widely misunderstood. As is often the case, however, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Runners who overpronate still benefit from energy absorption and terrain adaptation, but the surplus foot rotation also results in excessive ankle and leg twisting—the primary causes of plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ITB syndrome, and other common running injuries. This over-rotation is usually evident by knees that point inward and an Achilles tendon that is curved just before heel-lift.With an estimated 80 percent of runners categorized as overpronators, most running shoes contain features designed to reduce pronation. While these technologies changed little in the 1990s, the 21st century has already brought significant advancements, and the greatest changes are happening right now.Baseline TechnologyFor the past dozen years, nearly every running shoe designed for the overpronator has incorporated three basic technologies: the crumple zone, the medial post, and the midfoot shank. Each addresses pronation at a different stage in the gait cycle.At heelstrike, the foot is rotated inward such that the outside portion of the heel strikes the ground first. This off-kilter impact induces inward foot rotation. However, by isolating the portion of the shoe under the heel from the rest of the shoe's midsole, the asymmetric impact load is minimized and pronation is reduced. These isolating "crumple zones" are created by separating the lateral heel from the rest of the midsole using deep flex grooves and, in most cases, rounding the heel off a bit.Immediately after heelstrike, pronation can be further reduced by placing a firm "post" under the medial side of the foot. This (usually) foam block is typically 20 to 25 percent harder than the foam that composes the rest of the midsole. As the foot rotates inward, the change in midsole materials from soft to firm slows the rate of pronation. A medial post is most effective when located directly under the ankle bone, where the impact loads and torques are transmitted from foot to leg.When mid-stance is reached and the grounded foot is located directly below the body, the foot must transform into a rigid lever to provide efficient propulsion during toe-off. If the foot/shoe combo is too flexible, "late stage" pronation will occur. Placing a semi-rigid plastic shank in the middle of the shoe reduces inward rotation and enhances propulsion efficiency.While these traditional stability designs have proven very effective, the abrupt changes in materials are noticeable, and adding technologies means adding weight. The result is shoes that can feel a bit unnatural. Therefore, shoe designers are striving to create lighter stability shoes with even smoother heel-to-toe transitions.

Stephen Fleming, as is his wont, offered a sharp, no-nonsense assessment of Chennai Super Kings' nine-run loss to Mumbai Indians in the former's first match of IPL-6, here on Saturday.
Unhappy with his batsmen's approach, the CSK coach termed the reason for the defeat as "understandable but not acceptable." "It's just very bad cricket. It was poor decision-making from pretty much all our batsmen. Some of the dismissals were out of character, reckless. There's a lot of confidence, maybe over-confidence, maybe lacking a little bit of respect towards the little things."
Asked if harsh words would be exchanged with the team, the 40-year-old quipped: "My Tamil is not that good." Fleming, then, went on to describe the outcome as a "reality check". Fleming, however, was heartened by the bowling effort. "What you need to keep in mind is it's a new attack with (Ben) Laughlin, (Ankit) Rajpoot, and (Dirk) Nannes. The fact that we were able to keep them under 150 was a very good effort."
Earlier, man-of-the-match Kieron Pollard, his face expressionless, said he didn't want to "over-think."
"I just tried to stay there and bat. It was a good wicket. There was the dew factor and the ball tended to slow down a bit."
Acknowledging the need for improvement in bowling at the death, the Trinidadian was non-committal about batting up the order. "I will have to back myself in every situation. If I get an opportunity to bat higher, I will take it."
Pollard said he instinctively decided to shift to deep mid-wicket when Dhoni took strike in the final over. "It's a wider boundary. Dwayne (Smith) was there all the time. I said 'let me go there, you go to long-on."

12 candidates are in the fray; 84,501 out of 1,16, 607 voters exercise their franchise in 172 polling stations
Tuticorin: Polling for the Srivaikuntam Assembly constituency began at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and was by and large peaceful. The constituency recorded a poll percentage of 72.46. Totally 84,501 electors cast their votes.
Brisk polling was witnessed in the morning as the electors stood in long queues to exercise their franchise.
Twelve candidates were in the fray. As many as 172 polling stations were established with the installation of web cameras and laptops for an estimated 1,16, 607 voters. The seat fell vacant following the death of the MLA, D. Selvaraj of the Congress.
It was a four-corner contest here with the candidates from the the Congress, the Communist Party of India, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam fighting for the seat. The contest witnessed a low key profile as there was no stiff competition for the Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA) led combine, since major parties such as the AIADMK, the MDMK and the PMK kept away from the polls.
Web cameras were positioned in all booths focusing on the voters and the points where the electors cast their votes.
Hour-to-hour updates of the poll proceedings were sent through SMS with the help of booth level officers. By 10 a.m. about 24.6 per cent of polling was recorded and 34.79 per cent of electors turned until 11 a.m.
By noon the polling percentage was 45.85. Later at 1 p.m. 50.09 per cent and at 2 p.m. 56 per cent of the people turned up for voting. At 3 p.m. the percentage increased to 62.83 per cent and by 4 p.m. it touched 68.54 per cent. In booth number 47 M at R.C. Middle School, Naduvakurichi one elector opted for 49 O.
Briefing the media at Srivaikuntam Taluk Office on Tuesday in the backdrop of by- election, Collector and District Election Officer G. Prakash said that the new initiative of Election Commission to instal web cameras in the polling stations with laptops helped them gather accurate minute by minute details and added that the SMS facility with the help of BSNL was a cent per cent success.
The officials concerned were keenly monitoring the proceedings with the help of web cameras with laptops. The poll proceedings recorded live on web cameras would be copied in two DVDs and sent later after the completion of the schedule. As many as 115 cases of violation of model code of conduct were registered, he added.
"There were also no complaints on EVMs," Mr.Prakash said.
Counting of votes would be taken up on August, 21 amidst tight security, he added.

I have discovered that the most difficult battles in life simply mirror Jesus' struggle in Gethsemane. His words to the Father remain the most challenging words we could utter:
Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done. —Luke 22:42
Surrendering your will to God in difficult times is often harder than the trial itself.
I have found that my greatest challenges come not from those circumstances that press in upon me, but from the internal struggle to surrender my will to God. I enter Gethsemane daily and have to drag my will to the Father in prayer.
(So do you.)
Surrendering your will to God is hardest in difficult times. I thought of a few examples:
- When someone for whom we've prayed for years dies unrepentant—"Not my will, but Yours be done."
- When living as a godly spouse, parent, or single proves enormously harder than we ever imagined—"Not my will, but Yours be done."
- When we lose a job and suddenly face an uncertain future—"Not my will, but Yours be done."
- When a child is born with a physical or mental defect—"Not my will, but Yours be done."
The list only ends when life does.
Why Surrendering Your Will to God is Essential
Life will hand you what seems like a raw deal. Solutions seem as gnarled as the olive trunks in Gethsemane. And when God's will for you seems cruel to you and anything but good, you will wage no greater battle than the surrender of your will.
At that moment, when God's goodness seems like a hypocritical pile of hogwash, you stand only inches away from using anger to justify your sin. But don't do it.
I promise you, surrendering your will to God lies at the very core of whatever grieves you. And surrendering in absolute trust to the Father—as Jesus did in Gethsemane—remains the only path to peace.
Especially when you can make no sense of it all.

Never taking this off!5/7/2013
The band is comfortable and there is a notch that holds the extra strap length in place. A subtle detail I didn't know I needed. The indiglo is crispy and easy to read in the dark. The functions are probably more than I will ever need and didn't realize a lil ole watch could do all this! The heart rate strap worked like a charm!
Excellent watch for the cost4/19/2013
Love this watch... Took me a minute to set it up. But now that its got all of my info... It's perfect. I feel confident with the data it provides me as we'll. very consistent with the data that high cost watches provide. Love the slim and comfortable fit. Can barely feel the chest strap under my sports bra!!! So glad I made this purchase!!!

Great watch. Light weight yet easy to read during a run. Cant go wrong with this watch!!
Awesome heart monitor2/21/2013
It seems to accurately measure the heart rate. It saves the workout information so I can review it later. I like that it estimates calories burned. This device is very complicated, the manual is worded nicely but it is still hard to decode. I have figured out how to record a few things that I want, but most of the functions I will not use because they are too complicated. Some times it beeps at me and I have no idea why.

FOXBORO, MA - JANUARY 10: Julian Edelman #11 of the New England Patriots makes a recpetion against the Baltimore Ravens during the 2010 AFC wild-card playoff game at Gillette Stadium on January 10, 2010 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The Ravens won 33-14. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
Yesterday the 'mini-Welker' came to terms with the Patriots, and the two parties agreed on a one year deal. With this deal, WR Julian Edelman. Although he has won over the hearts of Patriots fans, it was highly unlikely for a role player like himself to get much money. According to ESPNBoston.com, Edelman's contract is for the five-year league minimum base salary of $715,000. Although he will receive an additional $50,000 for offseason workout bonuses, there is a major team protection clause as well; there is a "split" incentive for the Patriots. What this means is that Edelman' contract will seriously be slashed if he winds up on the DL. In this case, the contract would be reduced to $383,000. Before your jaw drops, here are Edelman's production incentives as well: Incentives30 receptions: $30,000 40 receptions: $70,000 50 receptions: $120,000 60 receptions: $180,000 70 receptions: $250,000 It is somewhat shocking that Edelman's contract is for such little money.
