Carlton Clay came to play for the Hebron Christian School Eagles Monday night against the Starkville Christian School Eagles.
Clay followed a nine-point first quarter with a 13-point third and finished with a game-high 26 points as the Eagles from Clay County dominated the Cougars 59-32 at the Starkville Christian gymnasium.
"Carlton is pretty tough," Hebron coach Greg Watkins said. "We can move him inside or out. He can hit the three and he's a hard matchup inside."
The Eagles (5-1) scored the first two baskets of the game, one each by Clay and Kevin Simmons, to take a 4-0 lead, but the Cougars came back to tie the game on buckets by Paul Michael Calhoun and Aaron Bowman.
Following a Simmons free throw that put Hebron back on top, Clay scored a basket and Taylor Coggins hit a three-point field goal to stretch the advantage to 10-4.
Bowman scored to bring Starkville Christian back to within 10-6, but that was as close as the Cougars could get.
After Hebron led 18-10 after the first quarter and 25-15 at halftime, the Eagles outscored their host 20-6 in the third quarter.
"We had a little bit of rust from Thanksgiving, but we need to work on things like moving the ball around a little faster, getting it in and out, cutting a little bit more instead of just standing there watching," Starkville Christian School coach Jonathan Little said. "We didn't get a lot of loose balls and rebounds. We got outrebounded pretty heavily and I didn't see a lot of people getting on the floor. Those things added up and took their toll toward the end of the game."
The Cougars were missing two of their regular players in Micah Little and Ethan Willers. Coach Little expects Willer to return for today's game at the Jackson Victors, but doesn't know when Micah Little will be back in the lineup.
As his Hebron squad began to take control of the game, Watkins used the situation to play several different combinations and wear down SCS.
"I told them we need to run the court a little bit," Watkins said. "I was going to rotate them because he had some guys missing and his bench wasn't like usual."
Simmons was the other double-figure scorer for the Eagles with 12 points, while Will Corben Rogers added nine points.
Bowman and Calhoun had 10 points each for the Cougars (3-6). Caleb Jordan was next with eight points.
Girls Game
Hebron Christian 65
Starkville Christian 20
The Lady Eagles took a 15-6 lead after the first quarter, never looked back and remained undefeated.
Hebron Christian (9-0) stretched the margin to 29-10 by halftime and 49-15 after three quarters.
Tori Nichols led four Lady Eagles in double-digit scoring with 27 points. Beverly Blake added 15 points, Hillary Arnold chipped in 11 points and Magen Tapley contributed 10 points.
Nichols proved to be a tough matchup inside for Starkville Christian.
"She's pretty good and pretty tough inside," Watkins said. "She can shoot it anywhere in the paint and when you are playing her man and move her away from the basket, it gives her a lot of freedom where she can drive or pull up and take that eight-foot shot."
It took Hebron, which plays at Calhoun Academy tonight, just a bit to get back in the swing of
things following the Thanksgiving break.
"We didn't hit the outside shot like we usually do," Watkins said. "When we hit the outside shot, it usually opens it up for (Nichols) too."
Sydney Whitehead had six points to lead the Lady Cougars (0-10).

People keep asking me about Measure P, the item on the city ballot that would raise Alameda's property transfer tax. I will be voting for it, mostly because the more I learn about the city budget (not to mention the state's and the nation's) the more it becomes clear that, in order to keep things running semi-smoothly, we need to raise more funds. Michele Ellson over at the Island is supporting P, as is Lauren Do, and, too, John Knox White.

October begins an exciting month at the Midway Hotel Center as it kicks off fundraising events for the Back on My Feet Organization.
Back on My Feet is a program designed to help homeless get back to a more stable lifestyle through a running program. BoMF partners with local shelters, missions and halfway houses to introduce this program to the members of the community, both volunteers and the homeless. They then form teams and a schedule is then set to track mileage, attendance and attitudes for each session.
Members who maintain a good attendance are invited to take the "next steps" of the BoMF program. This is where members will meet with staff to help map out a plan for success and given access to tools to enhance job training or education plans.
Each hotel has set goals to reach a minimum donation amount. This task requires staff to get creative with ways to raise money.
"We are giving away a complimentary one night stay in our Jacuzzi suites," said Cynthia Arriaga, Operations Supervisor at Holiday Inn Express. "It's for friends, family and guests, and we have a sign at the front desk".
The Courtyard hosted a 'garage sale' where employees were able to purchase old rooms' amenities, like scales, mirrors, duvets and pillows. They also plan to sell ice cream to the Midway Hotel Center Staff.
The campus' human resources department is campaigning for 'Sneaker Week', where staff can make a $5 or $10 donation to wear sneakers and/or jeans during November 18- 22. Human resources also encourage Midway properties to extend fundraising plans to guests and business clients in order to help reach or exceed our goals.
Our management company, White Lodging, strongly believes we have a strong responsibility to give back to the community.
"I am both inspired and proud of our associates' community engagement efforts. Social and community leadership is a fundamental responsibility of all of our associates," John Randall, Regional Vice President, said.
All nine campus hotel are participating. If you're staying at any of the hotels, ask an associate how you can get involved or make a donation.

Jumping Frog NXT
This hopping frog is from Fay's book, "LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Z00".
Can you see what Fay has done to make the frog jump and give it forward propulsion? Can you also see what gives it stability and traction? (The frog can be made from one retail kit and a couple of inexpensive, non-LEGO parts).
(P.S. The small human on the left is our son).

I love these NXT animals. Fay has done a great job designing. Having students create a robot zoo is one of my favorite activities. I am teaching a class for teachers this spring on how to lead students to create robotic animals that react to their habitat. I plan to use Fay's book. This class is supported by a grant from Spirit. Each teacher completing the class receives NXT kits and curriculum in exchange for bringing a student team to display an animal in our robotic zoo.

We just launched the challenges for our annual robotics competition. Students have six weeks to build and program their robots and compete. Take a look at what they're up against here:

I've never run it on a hard floor and don't recommend it. Actually, in the book I specify that, lacking shock absorbers, it should be used on a rug.
In the end, it's a rather delicate hop---certainly not anything more than experienced by the sumo-bots in competition.

Time to "wrap a bow" around the seasonPosted by on December 31, 2012 – 8:33 pm
Coach Mike Tomlin said it's time to "wrap a bow" around the 2012 season, but what was inside the package definitely is not what any of the Steelers' players and coaches had hoped for this season.
The Steelers finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs, far short of the Super Bowl expectations this team has every year.
"There is a certain level of disappointment that comes with sitting here, even right now, having an end of the season press conference," said Tomlin. "Those are never our intentions. We desire to be a team that is consistently in the battle for the Vince Lombardi trophy. That didn't transpire this year for a number of reasons, primarily that we didn't do enough in the closing moments of close football games."
The Steelers had eight games this season decided by three points or less and were only able to win three of them, Philadelphia, Kansas City and Baltimore. It was games that they lost, including early in the season to Oakland and Tennessee, by those close margins that came back to haunt them in the end.
"That will produce an 8-8-like record that will have you on the outside looking in," said Tomlin. "Those of us that have been in this business for any length of time, we understand that and embrace that. The good teams, the dominant teams, aren't necessarily dominant inside stadiums but they are dominant largely in moments, and they do what is required to get out of stadiums with victories. We didn't do that consistently enough."
So instead of spending this week preparing for the playoffs, Tomlin will be spending time conducting exit interviews with the players.
"We are on the outside looking in," said Tomlin. "We don't feel great about it. As a matter of fact, we dislike it. We are committed to doing what is required for us, in terms of moving forward, to ensure that we are not having similar conversations in the future."
* * *
Offensive line coach Sean Kugler said his goodbyes on Monday, heading off to his new position as head coach at University of Texas-El Paso. The Steelers will begin their search for a new offensive line coach, but are going to be methodical about it.
"I think it's important that we hire the right man," said Tomlin, who did say that Kugler will not be taking any Steelers' assistant coaches with him. "We're going to work swiftly but diligently. We're not going to put any time constraints on it. The big thing is that we come out of it with the correct man to move forward with that group in 2013.
"I don't have any preconceived notions in terms of the number of people I might interview and things of that nature or how it could transpire. I've been gathering information informally. I'll continue to do that in a more formal manner here moving forward."

- saw results Review by Cici
Quality Price Value
i got a sample of this eye cream and used it two weeks and started seeing results. my lines were softer and not as harsh. yes, it is alittle pricey but if it truely works (and have seen results) then it is worth it. i don't have the money for a face lift or botox or other professional treatments and even if i did, i don't want someone cutting on my face or putting foriegn substances in my face. this is the best alternative.

- Pricey but worth it Review by Kimberly
Price Value Quality
I bought a bunch of makeup and this eye cream was in the package as a free sample. It has lasted me several weeks as you only need a tiny bit. When I went online to buy it, I had sticker shock. I couldn't believe the price but went ahead and made the purchase. I love the product and figure it will last me several months. In the few weeks I have used the cream, I have noticed a difference in the fine lines around my eyes. The only complaint I have is that it does take a while to soak in. I apply my eyeliner several minutes after I've used the eye cream and it still ends up smearing the eyeliner within a few hours. I'm going to try to use at night instead and see if I have better results with my eyeliner.

- an updated Review Review by Sara
Price Value Quality
I had the full version as well as the sample pack, I switched over to using Glo's Eye Restore for awhile, and one thing that I noticed is that the Cyto-Luxe eye cream definitely keeps my eyes more moisturized! I'm happy for the Cyto-Luxe sample I was sent by Glo that helped me to re-confirm this. :)
I also had problems with the red dots around my eyes like the previous reviewer, right by the tear-duct. For me this is a nighttime occurrence only, it causes a slight tearing to my sensitive eyes when applied, and thus the area of tearing turned red.
I think this is because i sleep on my side and some of the product may get into the eye, as it is a thick rich cream it needs time to soak in.
So I have been using this during the day or a few hours before bed and have eliminated that problem.
I also solved the make-up issue I had before where it was flaking off by using a liquid versus a powder.
Overall very moisturizing and I am satisfied with this product :)

- Love this Eye Cream Review by Michelle
Price Value Quality
I bought this earlier this year and loved it for winter and summer. I ordered the Vital Eye Cream last month based on good reviews and have been so disappointed and wish I hadn't tried to save a few bucks. It's not that the Vital Eye is a bad product, but it has a thicker consistency and I think under eye concealers are more difficult to apply over it. The Cyto-luxe is wonderfully soft and probably the better choice for mature skin- which is what Glo recommends it for. I have no difficulty applying a concealer over it. This is not a negative review on the Vital, but a really really positive review for the Cyto incase you are thinking $95 is a little pricey. I miss it and will go back it as soon as I can!

- A decent eye cream Review by Sara
Value Quality Price
This is a decent eye cream, it works effectively and even after a short period of use I can see a difference. The only thing that I don't like is this product does not do well under makeup and almost appears to 'flake off' when concealer is applied on top.
This is best used at night before bed without makeup, Glo's vital eye cream is better for daytime use under makeup.

Glen Silva said his role will be "facilitator."
Another description might be reality check.
Marine Staff Sgt. Glen Silva will attend May's Forgotten Coast Wounded Warrior Weekend in Port St. Joe as something of a mentor, a man with a passionate understanding and empathy for the wounded service men and women who will spend several days basking and fishing in a place not a medical ward.
Silva, who attended the Wounded Warrior Weekend in 2011 as one of the warriors of focus, comes this year to lend a hand, and an ear, to organizers and soldiers alike.
He will assist warriors during the weekend, to provide maybe a dash of cold water to those, Silva acknowledges, that might be suffering through the "woe is me, no one understands" stage of serious injury.
"The key for me is getting into their faces and treating them as service men and women," Silva said. "You are still a member of the military and you are bringing them back to the brotherhood.
"Research shows that units that maintain contact with each other heal better. Units with good family support systems heal better."
And Silva bears scars from the battlefield that lend him hard-earned bona fides with his fellow soldier.
Silva was wounded Oct. 12, 2010 – as with so many wounded veterans, the start date to his second life is seared in his mind.
To say Silva suffered wounds is to characterize a St. Bernard a mere dog.
He lost a leg, shattered ear drums, lost fingernails, broke ribs, suffered a catastrophic brain injury, collapsed lungs, severe wounds to his stomach and genitalia and had, in effect, his abdomen splayed open.
In an earlier time, during an earlier war, he would have died.
"Now you have their attention," Silva said of the dialogue after he explains to others his injuries. "They can start becoming productive members of the society.
"I am going to ask them how are they moving forward? I will challenge them. What are they doing to make it better than they found it? That is good for society as a whole. It is such a simple concept. It's not about what you donate or anything like that. It is what are you doing in your daily life to make society better?"
Silva brings a far deeper well of understanding than most regarding the impact of catastrophic wounds, what must be overcome to move ahead, to regain footing and a sense of self and purpose.
"Everybody is different," Silva said by phone from Quantico, VA, where he is an instructor in combat leadership among other courses. "It's a wake-up call and everybody wants there to be cookie-cutter answers, cookie-cutter solutions, but there are not.
"My faith and my intestinal fortitude were important, but so were my life experiences and my age (42 today). I just kept thinking let get going through this and get out."
The swirling emotions accompanying such serious wounds, Silva said, are often compounded by the reception from home.
The "thank you for your service" the characterization of a "hero" was at times, well, overwhelming.
"That was initially very hard for me," Silva said. "To have people thank you for your service, I understand that is more for them and that is okay. Because of my ability and skills, that is why I was over there.
"You don't think of thanking the guy who pumps your gas for his service. These were just my skills, my abilities."
And as he traversed the vast network of organizations, non-profit and otherwise, across the country dedicated to assisting returning veterans, returning warriors, Silva arrived at cognizance and something approaching a peace about the effort and the goals.
"I think it is so important to have the best interests of the servicemen at heart," Silva said. "I am always excited to come down to Port St. Joe and see the people I have made friendships with because over the years this event has developed into something more important to the service people than the community.
"They get it there. They have listened and understand that they need to do what is right and what is best for the service people."
His role, he said, would be to provide some of the same sense of leadership he brought to the battlefield and lend it to service men and women seeking guidance in the next tentative steps in life, a life dramatically altered.
"A good leader understands the people he is in charge of and adapts his leadership to those people," Silva said. "You have to still be a mentor, a good leader. You have to be fluid and you have to adapt.
"I am still the same leader; I just have a different perspective."
In spite of his injuries, despite his ordeal of survival to walk out of a hospital within three months of wounding, despite the impacts, long and short term, on his life, Silva regrets little.
He went off to war due to his belief system and skills. Neither have been shaken by his experiences since an October day in 2010.
"In today's day and age the only guarantee in war is men and women are going to get injured," Silva said. "I would be the first to go back. I don't want to have my daughter experience anything that I have and if I can do that for my daughter, I would.
"War is always going to come and go, it doesn't change the basic essence of who we are. You can't let the politics and emotions get involved. You just have to do something each day to make things better.
"Why wouldn't we continue to try to strengthen ourselves?"
The fourth Forgotten Coast Wounded Warriors Weekend will be held May 14-18.
At this year's event, 20 warriors, 20 caretakers and three mentor warriors will be honored over a five-day period.
The organizing committee is seeking volunteers to make monetary donations or provide transportation, merchandise for raffle, servers for meals and boat captains for the tournament.
Please email email@example.com with any questions and donations.

Director Notes: The Role of the Board in Risk Oversight—Adapting to Regulatory Developments and Emerging Practices
Mark S. Bergman
Publication Date:
November 2009
In light of increased demands from shareholders and the potential changes in the regulatory environment, this first report of the Director Notes series highlights a range of considerations for directors as they approach the assessment and oversight of their risk management programs. It begins by outlining the emerging risk management trends that senior executives are focusing on, and provides a brief overview of the regulatory context in which directors are expected to oversee risk management efforts.
Although the discussion is tailored to U.S. public companies, the considerations are equally relevant to boards of non-U.S. listed companies, including companies with listings in the United States, as well as those that have no direct U.S. nexus.

Indian Wells city leaders were extremely supportive of the grant, and in an emotional public hearing, were resoundingly assured of the support and approval of Indian Wells residents. "It is a worthwhile project and something that I think will benefit the people here in…the Coachella Valley," said then Mayor of Indian Wells Percy Byrd. "We support it."
Residents will soon be able to seek medical care closer to home, within their own city limits. "This is Eisenhower's way of making its health care services even more accessible to Indian Wells residents," explains Michael D. Landes, President, Eisenhower Medical Center Foundation. "It's something substantive we can do for the city's generous support."
Eisenhower Medical Center expects to open the Eisenhower Urgent Care Center by December in a location that would be central to both Palm Desert and Indian Wells. Urgent care centers provide a broad spectrum of health care for non lifethreatening conditions, such as flu, colds, sinus infections, sore throats, allergies, earaches, minor cuts, sprains and fractures.

Midwest Living Review
Koepsel's yellow label with red lettering is near-ubiquitous in this roadside market just north of Baileys Harbor in Door County. The same family has run it since 1940, when it started as a little hut that sold homemade chopped-red-cherry jam. That jam is still available, as are many other varieties and a load of other foods: salsas, fruit butters, apples, pumpkins, gourds, pickles and other canned goods, fudge, candy, peanut brittle, pies, pie fillings, applesauce, cereal, popcorn and noodles, among other things -- and those are just the items they make in-house. You can also find meats and cheeses, beer and wine, coffee, dressings, smoked fish, spices, and syrups. It's a lot to look at, so give yourself time to linger. (If you're with someone not into food, they can check out the family's antiques shop next door.) And be sure to ask if you have special dietary needs, because Koepsel's sells more than a dozen no-sugar jams and the like. If you find yourself hooked, you'll be disappointed to learn that you can't get the store's branded goods from any other retailer -- but pleased to find out they do a pretty robust online business. Oh, and though they close for the most part after October, if you're in the area and looking for a Christmas tree near the holidays, Koepsel's is the place to go.

People always make jokes about the number 666, or how it's evil, etc. What is the basis of this, and is it really something that Christians should be concerned with?
It is the number of the Beast in Revelation:
Its significance is often claimed to be that the Emperor Nero, during whose reign Revelation was written, has a name with the numerical value 666. Citing Wikipedia:
Personally, I'm not really satisfied with this explanation at all and am waiting for other answers.
There are others who have stated that it has to do with the fact that it is
Personally, I find the Nero answer the most convincing with a caveat -- it is the symbolic future Nero. Most Biblical numerology, in my reading, is similarly future driven (and ALL Apacolyptic literature of that era -- Daniel, Revelation, Enoch, Hermas) -- it has a historical meaning, with an implication for the future.
In Revelation 13:18, as cited by Dancek, it is the number of "the Beast".
The verse indicates that is the number of man as well. A possible reason for this is that mankind was created on the 6th day, so 666 is a three-fold repetition of that. I understand in Hebrew that repetition signifies degree, so God is called "holy, holy, holy" in Isaiah 6.
Mike talked about this, but let me clarify a little:
In Greek and Hebrew, they use the same symbols for numbers that they use for letters. Basically, they use the first nine letters of the alphabet for the numbers 1 to 9, the next line letters for 10 to 90, and nine more letters for 100 to 900. As neither Greek nor Hebrew has 27 letters in their alphabet, they used alternate forms of letters or extra symbols to pad it out. See, for example, http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/hebrew-numbers.html for how it's done in Hebrew. Then for the number, say, 123, they would use the symbols/letters for 100, 20, and 3.
It would be like in English if we used A=1, B=2, C=3, ... I=9, J=10, K=20, ... R=90, S=100, T=200, ... Z=800, and we'd have to make something up for 900. So the number 123 would be written SKC.
Note that this wasn't some little side game people played now and then. This was how they always wrote numbers. So any number you wrote could look like a word, and any word could look like a number. You had to tell which it was from context.
Also note that unlike Hindu-Arabic numbers, where the order is significant so 19 is a very different number from 91, in Greek and Hebrew the order doesn't matter. The Jews normally wrote with the symbol for the biggest number first, but it wasn't essential. (I'm not sure about the Greeks.)
So they couldn't help but see numbers in every word they wrote. So let me go back to my comparative English example. (As neither I nor, I suspect, many others on this site know Greek or Hebrew.) So for example if you saw the word GUN, you would naturally think 7+300+50=357. You couldn't help but think of 357 as the "number of the gun". It would be inevitable that you'd have cases like, you'd tell a friend that you got paid $357 and he'd joke, "What, do you have a job shooting people now?" And you'd both laugh because you'd both quickly get the joke. Etc.
Of course many words wouldn't be the natural way to write numbers. Like you would normally write 123 as 100+20+3, SKC. But if you saw SKAB, i.e. 100+20+1+2, you would still add it up to 123. So any word could be read as a number, even if it wasn't how you would naturally write that number.
So when John talked about "the number of his name" being 666, this would be instantly understood by any Greek or Hebrew person as meaning that if you add up the values of the letters in his name, it will total 666.
Yes, the Hebrew version of Nero's name adds up to 666. At least, people give a Hebrew version that adds up. I freely admit that I don't know if this is the way people routinely wrote his name in Hebrew or if it is contrived. Anyway, maybe that means he's the Beast that John was talking about, maybe that's just coincidence, I don't know. I've heard so many conflicting theories about Revelation that I reserve judgement.
Let me add that there's a game that's played now and then of taking some public figure that you consider very evil and dangerous and showing that his name adds up to 666. Well, it stands to reason that most names would add up to something less then a few thousand. So one out of every few thousand names likely adds up to 666 by coincidence. With 6 billion people in the world today, if we translated all their names to Greek or Hebrew, there should be a million or so who add up to 666. Given that there are often multiple ways to translate a name between languages, and that you can plausibly choose either Greek or Hebrew, and that you could pick first name or last name or both or use initials or middle names or other variations, you probably have at least a 2 or 3% chance that any given name will come out to 666 without any stretching. Then toss in all the games that people DO play, like casually saying "... and if we double the 'r' ..." or "... and add 32 because he became a senator when he was 32 years old ...", or simply making up their own system of assinging values to letters with no reference to how the Greeks or Hebrews did it, and I'm sure you could get anyone you wanted to add up to 666.
Understanding this number is deeply rooted into how one understands Revelation. I understand it as speaking of a near prophecy of the Roman Empires attack on the church, and in so doing, mirroring a continuous and distant prophecy of the churches existence in the world until the final judgment, with some things principally intending their final fulfilment. In this contact 666 probably meant something very specific to the readers at the time (which they could decode) as well as being symbolic of something for all time and which at the end of the world may also take on renewed and final significance. History in the Bible is treated as a kind of prophecy so the meaning of 666 may be fulfilled more than once.
The initial meaning has been proposed by those who have studied gematria. Gematria was a popular practice at that time which corresponds letters to numbers, so that summing up a name gives a final number. This was practiced by Jewish mystics. For example, it has been argued by scholars that when the name "Nero Caesar" is spelled with Hebrew letters as נרון קסר (NRWN QSR) — Hebrew is written without vowels — the following addition is made from left to right: 50 + 200 + 6 + 50 + 100 + 60 + 200 = 666.
Emperor Nero may very well have been the initial meaning to the readers. Although our certainty about this is scanty for it seems no standard traditional view developed in subsequent church history, it nevertheless points to the intended meaning. There is little question in my own mind that the beast which is represented by the number was Rome. Rome especially as it represented Emperor Worship, making it difficult for Christians to engage in trade, without somehow paying homage to the idolatry of Rome, was 'the beast' opposing the church. Not only so but this political system that opposed Christ and enforced idolatry was soon to breakout into full undisciplined persecution against the church, which John wanted to prepare them for.
This naturally leads to a higher symbolic meaning of the number of 666. For it is more than coincidental that the Emperor's, who represented the fullness of the 'sinful nature' in a political system opposed to God, should have a name that is also equivalent to the plain biblical meaning of man-man-man. As man was made on the sixth day, this number is connected to him from the earliest scriptural history. Furthermore as seven represented perfection and holiness, being that this day was made holy, with the opposing facts that man fell and became unholy, he fell short of holiness. Therefore the number means 'unholy-unholy-unholy' or 'fallen short-fallen-short-fallen short'. Three, is often meant to mean perfection in the Bible so this 'sinful nature' described by six, is said to be a perfectly sinful nature by identifying its fallen state three times.
We are now is apposition to see the meaning of 666 in its wider sense. The Roman Empire was a beast, the first beast that came out of the sea (Rev 13:1). The second beast that came from the earth was the religion of Rome in its emperor worship, having 'all the authority of the first beast ' and made 'the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast'(Rev 13:12). By enforcing idolatry among the various professional guilds and trades in the empire it became more and more impossible for Christians to earn a living without worship the beast. They must be prepared to be martyred according to the prophecy.
Those who fell into the idolatry of Rome and denied their faith had the mark of the beast on their head, or hand. (Rev 13:16). This implies that if a Christian lived a wicked life, denying Christ and falling under the power of wicked Rome they were effective publishing their sins in an obvious way, on their foreheads, or in a more secret manner on their hands. Another view may be that their minds and actions were rules by the sinful nature.
As history progressed the world has continued to persecute the church with the same pressures of idolatry, whether the pressure to worship sex, career, religion, etc. Also at certain points Rome itself has been interpreted by many Protestant theologians as taken a heightened biblical role again. According to these view, Roman history shows a kind of re-fulfilling of its original role, making people worship saints and other idolatries, even killing Christians in the same manner as the original fulfilment. It makes one wonder whether Rome might not have some direct relationship to the events marking in the end of the world as well. However, regardless of one's view this can't be limited to any one government but represent all secular governments and all the idolatrous nature of man.
I'm sorry I can't provide sources, but it seems that no one else has either.
I've always heard that:
Hence, the number of God, 777, would stand for complete completion. Completely perfect.
Maybe nothing.
As anybody who has regularly watched QI will tell you, the number of the beast might well not be 666, but instead 616. Indeed, as Wikipedia attests, "Papyrus 115" -- the current oldest dated fragment of Revelation at about 1700 years old -- was discovered in 2005 with the number 616. There is corroboration from the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, another notable biblical manuscript from the 5th century, which has the number spelled out as six hundred and sixteen.
This means that the Russian bus line who renumbered from 666 to 616 because of 'bad luck' might not have been the best renumbering ever.
Anyway, whether it's 666 or 616, it's the number associated with the Beast of Revelation (commonly assumed to be Satan) in the book of Revelation itself.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Petra
"As a teenager (born and raised in Germany) I made what we call Biskuitteig weekly, which is similar to sponge cake. I never really liked Bisquick for shortcake and remembered the spongy, tender texture of the Biskuitteig. I altered an old German recipe and came up with this delicious version. Also good with other fruit toppings!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

This was a wonderful shortcake recipe! I scaled to two and made mine in a large ramekin - perfect (and gorgeous) for two! The shortcake is soft, fluffy, lightly sweet and a little sticky - like a really good angel foodcake, but a little denser, I "cheated" and used whipped topping I already have but the real stuff would have been a wonderful compliment to top this one off with. So, so good!
This cake has a rubbery texture and very eggy flavor. I was quite disappointed.

Awesome! I halved the cake height-wise and put it back in the pan, layering with strawberries, juice/syrup, and then the cream. Final product was AWESOME, and was better the second day..the layers soaked up the juices and cream beautifully - I would definitely not substitute storebought whipped cream for the homemade stuff in this recipe!
This was my first time making strawberry shortcake, and this turned out great! As Allison did, I halved the cake and put it back into the pan, layered it with strawberries and syrup (from frozen) in the middle, and then topped the cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It received rave reviews at my party!
This cake was absolutely amazing. i have so far made it twice and both times it was an absolute success. I am a beginner baker and i have had my share of absolute baking disasters but this cake turns out perfect every time.
I like to halve the recipe and then bake it in 2 6 inch round pans for 15-18 minutes. It's a great dessert for a dinner or a small birthday get-together.
definitely a great great cake and two thumbs up!!!
Oh My Goodness! This recipe is FANTASTIC! I will never look for another Strawberry Shortcake recipe again. My husband requested strawberry shortcake for his birthday, and the silly goose thought I would BUY one! I went looking and found this recipe, and even though it was my very first time making one, it came out amazing. :) (I am a much better cook than a baker, so I was very pleased this turned out so well.) Mom and Dad loved it (Dad's exclamations upon seeing his piece involved the word "Shazaam!", LOL) and my hubby was bragging on me at work the next day, even showing a photo. I followed the recipe exactly, changing nothing, and making good use of our Kitchen Aid mixer. I used a foil pan because I didn't have the right size pan. The cake came out sweet and firm, but wonderfully textured and Mom said she would have been happy to eat it plain! Beginning to end, this recipe was easy and tasty, even for the rare baker like me. We used too many strawberries the first night, so next time I might use three pounds. ;) I just can't wait to make it with in season berries! Finally, it tasted every bit as awesome the second day. :D Thank you for sharing, Petra, and for helping make my hubby's birthday a success!
Turned out great! Only had half the strawberries and it was still enough. Delicious and light cake.
This is a very nice recipe. I did what another reviewer did...split the cake in half and put it back in the pan (with the strawberries in the middle). My sweetie has a bit of a sweet tooth so I used cream cheese frosting on top. Thanks for sharing Petra. I will make this again in the future.

There's no replacement for displacement. It's an adage as old as hot-rodding and one of the set-in-stone truisms. It's also the thought process behind the ever-increasing popularity of stroker engines. Back in the day, the most popular combo was turning a common 350 small-block into a 383. But today just about any mill can get the stroker treatment. The real gain of any increase in displacement is torque. It's why a big-block almost always beats a small-block in this department.
If you're building an engine, and you need to buy a rotating assembly, then going with a stroker makes even more sense because the cost of a stroker crank and rods is only a little more than the stock-sized stuff. For example, Lunati sells their 355ci Sledgehammer rotating assembly for $2,362. But their 383 kit is only $2,404. That's 28 additional power-producing cubes for a paltry 42 bucks. No other speed part gives you such a return on your performance dollar than a stroker. Well, maybe nitrous, but that's another story for another time.
Like all good things, you can take the theory too far. Go too big on the bore and you can weaken the cylinder walls to the point of failure. You can also run in to overheating problems. Push the length of the stroke to the ragged edge and you could experience another set of failures: the biggest problem can occur when the piston reaches the bottom of its stroke; this is known as bottom-dead-center (BDC). If too much of the piston extends out of the bottom of the cylinder bore, and the piston isn't designed for this, the piston can rock, scoring the cylinder walls thus eventually junking up the engine. That's why it's always good to check with the manufacturer on what they recommend. We also think a good way to go is with a stroker kit. In a kit the parts are designed to work together in a particular application rather than hobbled together in the hopes they are mechanically compatible.
Lunati and Wiseco have been working together to make sure the stroker kits they offer work. And more importantly, are reliable. The pistons in their LS stroker kits are specifically designed for LS applications. This is critical since every detail matters when you're pushing the stroke to the ragged edge of what's possible with a stock-sleeved cylinder.
We've been itching to put a bit more power under the hood of our '68 Camaro, Bad Penny. The LS2 currently in it is running the stock GM short block with a medium-sized COMP cam, FAST 90mm intake, and some sweet AFR 205 heads. It made good power, but for how we use the car, more low and midrange torque would make it quicker—hence more fun.

Faryal Mehr, a Pakistani student completing her junior year of college, joined Wilson College for the fall 2011 semester through the U.S. Department of State's Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Pakistan.
The Global UGRAD-Pakistan program, which aims to advance leadership and promote understanding both in America and Pakistan, has had a profound effect on Faryal.
"This program has changed my life," said Faryal, who explained that girls and women are not afforded the same opportunities as their male counterparts in Pakistan. "The atmosphere I'm getting here is impossible in Pakistan. I would not be able to do all the activities I'm doing here."
Faryal, whose major is environmental science, has mixed feelings about returning to her country in mid-December. Her dream, after graduating from Peshawar University in Pakistan, is to start an organization that educates people – especially children – about the importance of protecting the environment. She also hopes to start an after-school program for children that would provide general education and environmental education.
"Because in Pakistan, the people are less aware about the environment," she said.
The Global UGRAD-Pakistan program provides its students with one academic term of non-degree undergraduate U.S. study. Students are chosen on a highly competitive basis, according to the program, and represent a diverse group of emerging student leaders from underrepresented sectors of Pakistan.
"In my case, 3,500 students (submitted) applications," said Faryal, who comes from the city of Peshawar. "After that, they chose 400 and then interviewed the 400 and selected 200."
Of the 200 who made the cut, 100 came to the U.S. for the fall 2011 semester and 100 will arrive for the spring semester. Another Pakistani student will come to Wilson through the program at the beginning of 2012, according to Paul Miller, Wilson's international student adviser.
As part of her responsibilities to the Global-UGRAD program, Faryal gives presentations about her country and culture to schools, nursing homes, service clubs and other venues that will reach local residents. So far, she's spoken at Wilson and a local church, and is planning some other outreach activities.
"When I tell people the good aspects of Pakistan, they're very interested to know," she said. "I've told them it's not just here people have suffered because of 9/11, but we have suffered the rest of the years from 9/11 until now. The terrorists are killing us as well. There are blasts every Friday. There is no safety or security in Pakistan because of these terrorists."
Faryal said the news media – both American and Pakistani – has not done a very good job reporting on what is happening in Pakistan.
After returning to her home country, Faryal will be a cultural ambassador again — this time on behalf of America — basing much of what she shares with her fellow Pakistanis on her experiences and observations at Wilson and in the surrounding community.
She still clearly recalls arriving on the Wilson campus on Aug. 12, uncertain of what to expect.
"I was nervous of course because I was scared a bit that maybe they won't like me. They won't talk to me," said Faryal, who is acutely aware of the negative opinions many Americans have of the Pakistani people and Muslims in general. "But the first day one of the American (students) came to my room and to say 'hi' and it was very comfortable after that. People here at Wilson really respect diversity."
Today, Faryal counts many Americans as friends. She says one fellow student has brought her warm clothes and boots. Another has invited her and other international students to Thanksgiving dinner at her home in Philadelphia.
"I will miss it," Faryal said. "In my country, it's a dream to come to America."
The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Pakistan is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the Department of State and is administered by the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX.
