The No. 20 Mississippi State Bulldogs have set big goals in 2011 after their 9-4 season last year and reaching their goals starts tonight in Memphis and head coach Dan Mullen couldn't be happier.
"We're really excited to get going," said Mullen. "We haven't played since January 1 of this year so it's a nine-month wait between games so the excitement of the first game is upon us. We can't wait to get out there and go play and our guys are ready to get out there and showcase all the hard work they've put in over the last nine months."
One player who has worked hard and earned a starting position is linebacker Matthew Wells.
"Matt is a great athlete," said Mullen. "He has grown in the offseason and gives us an outside linebacker with a safety skill set."
A starting position still up in the air is left tackle. and the competition at the position is a tough one.
"We feel pretty good about the competition and we have a good idea of who is going to start," said Mullen. "My concern is making sure both guys are ready to play."
One position Mullen doesn't have to worry much about is quarterback with Chris Relf being the only returning quarterback starting in the SEC West.
"Right now I'm comfortable with him doing everything," said Mullen. "It's not like we didn't have the whole playbook for him last year, but I think early on we kept it a little simpler for him so he could build up his confidence. Now he's an experienced guy and we can make a lot more in game adjustments because he knows why we are doing those things."
The Bulldogs will face some unknowns against the Tigers and he knows they are just as ready for week one as he is.
"Coach (Larry) Porter is going to have them ready to go," said Mullen. "They have a bunch of new starters and they have a new high tempo offense that we haven't got to see on film and they have two defensive tackles who are SEC quality players. When you have that type of ability up front and throw in some new talented players makes them a very dangerous team."
Mullen thinks Texas A&M
welcome addition to SEC
Early Wednesday morning, Texas A&M broke the news they would be seeking a new conference and many speculations point to the SEC.
"I haven't given it a lot of though." said Mullen about Texas A&M coming to the SEC. "I've been there to coach a game and the excitement, the atmosphere they create is just an SEC game day environment. I think it would be a welcome addition to the league."
Matchup with Oregon
will be challenge for LSU
The No. 4 LSU Tigers are coming off an 11-2 season and a disappointing 41-24 Cotton Bowl loss to Texas A&M. The Tigers 2011 campaign will start where they left off last season, at Cowboys Stadium ass they are competing in the Cowboys Classic against No. 3 Oregon. The Ducks are coming off a season where they fell just short of the national title and will make LSU have to work hard right off the bat.
"Oregon presents a tremendous challenge for us," said Miles. "I think we've prepared the best we can for this matchup and we looking forward to playing in Cowboy Stadium. We enjoyed that environment last time we played there and we are looking forward to returning."
LSU has had to deal with some off field altercations that have cause some distractions and a change at starting quarterback. Jordan Jefferson, who has been suspended indefinitely, will now be replaced under center by Jarrett Lee. Lee didn't start any games in 2010, but played in 13 games where he threw for 573 yards, so Miles won't have a completely inexperienced quarterback in the game.
"I expect a lot from Jarrett Lee," said Miles. "He played in every game last year and certainly his play in some of the key games helped in last year's success. I expect him to operate the offense better than he ever has."
The showdown between the Tigers and Ducks will kickoff at 7 p.m. and with both teams ranked in the top five, the winner will continue their quest for a National Title, while the other has to fight their way back up.
South Carolina has overall
SEC championship as goal
The No. 12 South Carolina Gamecocks plan to win the SEC East again in 2011 but also wants to add the SEC Title to their list of accomplishments. On Saturday, they will take the fist step to achieving their goal when they travel to Charlotte, NC to take on East Carolina, who has own the CUSA title two of the last three years..
"We're looking forward to the ball game this Saturday night," said head coach Steve Spurrier. "East Carolina's a team with very good football tradition and they have one of the best offenses in the country. We've got our hands full trying to slow that down, but looking forward to playing and it should be a heck of a game."
The Gamecocks were led onto the field season by quarterback Stephen Garcia, who was third team All-SEC last year and threw for 3,059 yards and 20 touchdowns, but Spurrier hasn't decided if he will start Saturday's game.
"Stephen has changed a lot of his lifestyle actions and he's done very well, but Conner Shaw has performed a little bit better than him," said Spurrier. "We haven't named a starter yet but we know we're going to play both of them this week."
With the two quarterbacks battling for the starting job, the competition is sure to make both quarterbacks better but that is yet to be seen. The Gamecoks will hit the field at 6 p.m.
Alabama hosts Kent State,
Saban faces alma mater
Nick Saban is entering his fifth year at the helm of the Crimson Tide and they will start the 2011 season against his alma mater Kent State.
"Kent State has a very experienced team coming back," said Saban about Saturday's showdown. "It's going to be a challenging first game but we are looking forward to getting the season started."Â
After weeks of practice and preparation, Saban and his team are ready to hit the field.
"Our players are certainly looking forward to playing a game," said Saban. "We've practiced a lot and have practiced against each other for a long time."
The importance of winning the first game is high as it can set the tone for the season, but the focus of the first game isn't as much on winning.
"I think first games are always about having a mind set of taking care of business," said Saban. "They have to pay attention to detail playing with discipline and effort and that's what we emphasize to our players."
Alabama, who is ranked No. 2 in the preseason AP poll is picked to win the SEC West, will start the season at 11:21 a.m. on Saturday.

Stele with Vishnu, His Consorts, His Avatars, and Other Dieties
This icon depicts Vishnu flanked by his consorts, avatars, and other deities. Not all ten of the avatars are present. Striding Varaha the boar is at the top left, with the man-lion Narasimha below him, while the top two figures on the right appear to be Balarama with his plow and Rama with his bow and arrow. The other small figures include the god Brahma (portly and carrying a squarebowled spoon at the bottom left), two Vishnus, and another, unidentified deity. How to interpret this mix of avatars, additional Vishnu images, and Brahma is unclear.

From that time, while everywhere matters were becoming daily worse, the tyranny of the Roman Bishop was established, and ever and anon increased, and this partly by the ignorance, partly by the sluggishness, of the bishops. For while he was arrogating everything to himself, and proceeding more and more to exalt himself without measure, contrary to law and right, the bishops did not exert themselves so zealously as they ought in curbing his pretensions.
And who is supposed to curb the pompous Protestant "pretensions" of Luther, Calvin et al? Or are they immune from all such mere human shortcomings?
And though they had not been deficient in spirit, they were devoid of true doctrine and experience, so that they were by no means fit for so important an effort. Accordingly, we see how great and monstrous was the profanation of all sacred things, and the dissipation of the whole ecclesiastical order at Rome, in the age of Bernard.
There were certainly many corrupt and decadent periods in Church history.
He complains (Lib. 1 de Consider. ad Eugen.) that the ambitious, avaricious, demoniacal, sacrilegious, fornicators, incestuous, and similar miscreants, flocked from all quarters of the world to Rome, that by apostolic authority they might acquire or retain ecclesiastical honours: that fraud, circumvention, and violence, prevailed.
Case in point. But strangely enough we don't see St. Bernard concluding (like Calvin) that the Church is not what she is, because of human sin. Why, then, does Calvin cite him, since the two arrive at polar opposite conclusions as to how to proceed in the face of corruption?
The mode of judging causes then in use he describes as execrable, as disgraceful, not only to the Church, but the bar. He exclaims that the Church is filled with the ambitious: that not one is more afraid to perpetrate crimes than robbers in their den when they share the spoils of the traveller. "Few (say he) look to the mouth of the legislator, but all to his hands. Not without cause, however: for their hands do the whole business of the Pope. What kind of thing is it when those are bought by the spoils of the Church, who say to you, Well done, well done? The life of the poor is sown in the highways of the rich: silver glitters in the mire: they run together from all sides: it is not the poorer that takes it up, but the stronger, or, perhaps, he who runs fastest. That custom, however, or rather that death, comes not of you: I wish it would end in you. While these things are going on, you, a pastor, come forth robed in much costly clothing. If I might presume to say it, this is more the pasture of demons than of sheep. Peter, forsooth, acted thus; Paul sported thus. Your court has been more accustomed to receive good men than to make them. The bad do not gain much there, but the good degenerate." Then when he describes the abuses of appeals, no pious man can read them without being horrified. At length, speaking of the unbridled cupidity of the Roman See in usurping jurisdiction, he thus concludes (Lib. 3 de Concil.), "I express the murmur and common complaint of the churches. Their cry is, that they are maimed and dismembered. There are none, or very few, who do not lament or fear that plague. Do you ask what plague? Abbots are encroached upon by bishops, bishops by archbishops, &c. It is strange if this can be excused. By thus acting, you prove that you have the fulness of power, but not the fulness of righteousness. You do this because you are able; but whether you also ought to do it is the question. You are appointed to preserve, not to envy, the honour and rank of each." I have thought it proper to quote these few passages out of many, partly that my readers may see how grievously the Church had then fallen, partly, too, that they may see with what grief and lamentation all pious men beheld this calamity.
St. Bernard thundered against sin and corruption, as he should have. But again, I see nothing indicating that he wants to ditch the papacy, let alone the Church, and start anew, as the "reformers" did. Nor did he rail against all popes. He liked Pope Innocent II (r. 1130-1143) quite a bit:
Innocent II is praised by all, especially by St. Bernard, as a man of irreproachable character.But his support for the office of the papacy extended far beyond admiration of one man. Let's let the great saint speak for himself. Writing in 1148, to the new Pope Eugene II, he exclaims:
(The Catholic Encyclopedia, "Pope Innocent II")
Who are you? The high priest, the Supreme Pontiff. You are the prince of the bishops, you are the heir of the Apostles; in primacy you are Abel, in governing you are Noah, in patriarchate you are Abraham, in orders you are Melchisedech, in dignity you are Aaron, in authority you are Moses, in judgment you are Samuel, in power you are Peter, by anointing you are Christ. You are the one to whom the keys have been given, to whom the sheep have been entrusted.In the same work, St. Bernard continues:
(from De consideratione; cited in Christopher Ryan, The Religious Roles of the Papacy, Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1985, 119-120)
It is true that there are other doorkeepers of heaven and shepherds of flocks; but you are more glorious than all of these, to the degree that you have inherited a name more excellent than theirs. They have flocks assigned to them, one flock to each; to you all are assigned, a single flock to a single shepherd. You are the one shepherd not only of all the sheep, but of all the shepherds.St. Bernard (vastly differently from Luther and Calvin) holds to the indefectibility of Rome:
(Ryan, ibid., 120)
Do you ask how I can prove this? From the word of the Lord. For to whom, and I include not only bishops but Apostles, were all the sheep entrusted so absolutely and completely? "If you love me Peter, feed my sheep." . . . To whom is it not clear that he did not exclude any, but assigned them all? There is no exception where there is no distinction.
(Ibid., 120)
And perhaps the rest of the disciples were present when the Lord, entrusting all to one man, commended unity to all in one flock with one shepherd . . . James, who appeared as a pillar of the Church, was content with only Jerusalem, leaving to Peter the universal Church.
(Ibid., 121)
The power of the others is bound by definite limits; yours extends even over those who have received power over others. If cause exists, can you not close heaven to a bishop, depose him from the episcopacy, and even give him over to Satan? Your privilege is affirmed, therefore, both in the keys given to you and in the sheep entrusted to you.
(Ibid., 121)
. . . although each of the others has his own ship, to you is entrusted . . . the universal Church which is spread throughout the whole world.
(Ibid., 122)
Before everything else, you should consider that the Holy Roman Church, over which God has established you as head, is the mother of churches . . .
(Ibid., 123)
I consider it most especially proper that damages to faith should be mended in the very place where faith can undergo no falling away. This surely is the prerogative of your See. For to whom else was it ever said: "I have prayed for you," Peter, "that your faith should not fail"? . . .
Therefore, what the rest of the text says is demanded of the successor of Peter. "And you," it says, "when once you have turned, strengthen your brothers." Surely that is now necessary. The time has come, most beloved Father, for you to recognize your primacy, to prove your zeal, to honour your ministry. I doing so you will clearly fulfil your role as Vicar of Peter, whose See you also hold, if by your warnings you strengthen the hearts of those fluctuating in faith and if by your authority you destroy those who corrupt the faith.
(Ibid., 124; from Epistle 190 to Pope Innocent II)
But though we were to concede to the Roman Pontiff of the present day the eminence and extent of jurisdiction which his see had in the middle ages, as in the time of Leo and Gregory, what would this be to the existing Papacy? I am not now speaking of worldly dominion, or of civil power, which will afterwards be explained in their own place (chap. 11 sec. 8-14); but what resemblance is there between the spiritual government of which they boast and the state of those times? The only definition which they give of the Pope is, that he is the supreme head of the Church on earth, and the universal bishop of the whole globe. The Pontiffs themselves, when they speak of their authority, declare with great superciliousness, that the power of commanding belongs to them,—that the necessity of obedience remains with others,—that all their decrees are to be regarded as confirmed by the divine voice of Peter,—that provincial synods, from not having the presence of the Pope, are deficient in authority,—that they can ordain the clergy of any church,—and can summon to their See any who have been ordained elsewhere. Innumerable things of this kind are contained in the farrago of Gratian, which I do not mention, that I may not be tedious to my readers. The whole comes to this, that to the Roman Pontiff belongs the supreme cognisance of all ecclesiastical causes, whether in determining and defining doctrines, or in enacting laws, or in appointing discipline, or in giving sentences.
Jesus gave to Peter and the popes, his successors, universal jurisdiction, as St. Bernard noted above, but not in such a way that bishops did not have authority in their own regions, too. But the popes were not to be some kind of gods on earth. In the same works I cited from St. Bernard above, he also asserted a certain brotherhood, within the hierarchy, without denying in the least bit the pope's preeminent position:
. . . you are not the lord of bishops, but one of them . . .But that is Catholic "both / and" reasoning, whereas Calvin and Protestantism in general are notorious for an "either / or", unnecessarily dichotomous outlook.
(Ryan, ibid., 123; from De consideratione)
. . . you have been elected to the supreme position . . . Not, in my opinion, to dominate . . .
(Ibid., 125)
I do not think it is unconditionally yours but
is subject to limitations. It seems to me that you have been entrusted with stewardship over the world, not given possession of it.
(Ibid., 126)
You are wrong if you think your apostolic power, which is supreme, is the only power instituted by God. . . . there are intermediate and lesser ones.
(Ibid., 127)
It were also tedious and superfluous to review the privileges which they assume to themselves in what they call reservations. But the most intolerable of all things is their leaving no judicial authority in the world to restrain and curb them when they licentiously abuse their immense power. "No man (say they ) is entitled to alter the judgment of this See, on account of the primacy of the Roman Church." Again, "The judge shall not be judged either by the emperor, or by kings, or by the clergy, or by the people." It is surely imperious enough for one man to appoint himself the judge of all, while he will not submit to the judgment of any. But what if he tyrannises over the people of God? if he dissipates and lays waste the kingdom of Christ? if he troubles the whole Church? if he convert the pastoral office into robbery? Nay, though he should be the most abandoned of all, he insists that none can call him to account. The language of Pontiffs is, "God has been pleased to terminate the causes of other men by men, but the Prelate of this See he has reserved unquestioned for his own judgment." Again, "The deeds of subjects are judged by us; ours by God only."
There is a balance that was possible to be abused, and was abused, by some bad popes. We should expect this, but none of the bad popes could overcome God's power in promising indefectibility for His Church. Men can't overcome God's will. Calvin wants to ditch the papacy to preserve the (supposed) Church. Catholics retort that it is impossible for any pope (even one of the very few corrupt, personally immoral ones) to cause the Church to defect in the first place. Therefore, eliminating the papacy as an office doesn't "save the Church." Rather, it deforms what is God's will for the governance of the Church. Calvin simply lacks faith: in the indefectibility of the Church, and in God's ability to overcome any corruption or sin of man. Calvin wants to put men in the driver's seat (i.e., himself, and his own novel doctrines) rather than God, Who revealed all of this in Holy Scripture and through the mouths of apostles, and down through the centuries, through the fathers and doctors and saints and ecumenical councils and popes, via apostolic succession and the Catholic magisterium.
And in order that edicts of this kind might have more weight, they falsely substituted the names of ancient Pontiffs, as if matters had been so constituted from the beginning, while it is absolutely certain that whatever attributes more to the Pontiff than we have stated to have been given to him by ancient councils, is new and of recent fabrication.
That doesn't follow, since Church offices, like doctrines, develop from the original apostolic deposit. A development is not a "fabrication." If we want those, we have to look to the revolutionary, novel, distinctive doctrines of early Protestantism. Calvin has it exactly backwards. We are supposed to believe with him that abolition of the papacy is more in line with the ancient Church than development of it through the centuries? That's sheer nonsense. It makes no sense at all.
Nay, they have carried their effrontery so far as to publish a rescript under the name of Anastasius, the Patriarch of Constantinople, in which he testifies that it was appointed by ancient regulations, that nothing should be done in the remotest provinces without being previously referred to the Roman See.
There were many forgeries throughout history. No one disputes that. But it is clear that in Catholic ecclesiology such an extreme state of affairs decried by Calvin here is not in play.
Besides its extreme folly, who can believe it credible that such an eulogium on the Roman See proceeded from an opponent and rival of its honour and dignity? But doubtless it was necessary that those Antichrists should proceed to such a degree of madness and blindness, that their iniquity might be manifest to all men of sound mind who will only open their eyes.
Any conscious, sane man must agree with Calvin that the papacy must go! To disagree is not to be on one's right mind.
The decretal epistles collected by Gregory IX., also the Clementines and Extravagants of Martin, breathe still more plainly, and in more bombastic terms bespeak this boundless ferocity and tyranny, as it were, of barbarian kings. But these are the oracles out of which the Romanists would have their Papacy to be judged.
Scripture is quite sufficient for that purpose. Calvin has scarcely dealt with the abunbdant scriptural evidences for Petrine and papal primacy.
Hence have sprung those famous axioms which have the force of oracles throughout the Papacy in the present day—viz. that the Pope cannot err;
When definitively declaring a dogma of faith or morals, no. He can make mistakes in instances other than these extraordinary ones.
that the Pope is superior to councils;
That is true, and Church history confirms it. Pope Leo the Great and Chalcedon is the most obvious and famous example.
that the Pope is the universal bishop of all churches, and the chief Head of the Church on earth.
That's true. A body with no head is not very functional.
I say nothing of the still greater absurdities which are babbled by the foolish canonists in their schools, absurdities, however, which Roman theologians not only assent to, but even applaud in flattery of their idol.
No argument here; only polemics and rhetoric in the worst sense of the word . . .
I will not treat with them on the strictest terms. In opposition to their great insolence, some would quote the language which Cyprian used to the bishops in the council over which he presided: "None of us styles himself bishop of bishops, or forces his colleagues to the necessity of obeying by the tyranny of terror."
That is exactly what St. Bernard condemned above. Gregory the Great asserted the contrary, without lowering the supremacy of the papacy in the slightest. That is Catholic teaching, and so is not at issue. A corruption of a thing by a particular man is not the thing itself. When will Calvin ever understand this simple but crucial distinction? Apparently never, because he keeps committing the same fallacy over and over.
Some might object what was long after decreed at Carthage, "Let no one be called the prince of priests or first bishop;" and might gather many proofs from history, and canons from councils, and many passages from ancient writers, which bring the Roman Pontiff into due order. But these I omit, that I may not seem to press too hard upon them. However, let these worthy defenders of the Roman See tell me with what face they can defend the title of universal bishop, while they see it so often anathematised by Gregory. If effect is to be given to his testimony, then they, by making their Pontiff universal, declare him to be Antichrist.
That has been dealt with already in my replies (IV, 7:3-4), and as usual, Calvin distorts Gregory's meaning and uses great selectivity in citation, which accomplishes nothing.
The name of head was not more approved. For Gregory thus speaks: "Peter was the chief member in the body, John, Andrew, and James, the heads of particular communities. All, however, are under one head members of the Church: nay, the saints before the law, the saints under the law, the saints under grace, all perfecting the body of the Lord, are constituted members: none of them ever wished to be styled universal" (Gregor. Lib. 4 Ep. 83). When the Pontiff arrogates to himself the power of ordering, he little accords with what Gregory elsewhere says. For Eulogius, Bishop of Alexandria, having said that he had received an order from him, he replies in this manner: "This word order I beg you to take out of my hearing, for I know who I am, and who you are: in station you are my brethren, in character my fathers. I therefore did not order, but took care to suggest what seemed useful" (Gregor. Lib. 7 Ep. 80).
None of this overcomes the many statements of papal supremacy made by Gregory (documented in my replies to IV, 7:12-13). Calvin is also dead wrong in asserting that the pope was not called "head" of the Church in the patristic period. The facts show otherwise (my italics):
You are the head of the fountain from which My teaching flows, you are the chief of My disciples. Through you I will give drink to all peoples . . . I have chosen you to be, as it were, the first-born in My institution, and so that, as the heir, you may be executor of my treasures. I have given you the keys of my kingdom. Behold, I have given you authority over all my treasures!When the Pope extends his jurisdiction without limit, he does great and atrocious injustice not only to other bishops, but to each single church, tearing and dismembering them, that he may build his see upon their ruins.
(St. Ephraem, Homilies, 4, 1)
Kephas . . . the head of the Apostles who received the power of the keys and is taken for the shepherd of the flock . . .
(St. Ephraem, Against Heresies, Sermo 56)
You cannot deny that you are aware that in the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter; the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head . . . of all the Apostles; . . .
(St. Optatus, The Schism of the Donatists, 2, 2)
Peter, who is the head of the apostles . . . he is the firm and most solid rock, on which the savior built his Church.
(St. Gregory of Nyssa, Panegyric on St. Stephen, 3)
Your grace must be besought not to permit any disturbance of the Roman Church, the head of the whole Roman World and of the most holy faith of the Apostles, for from thence flow out to all (churches) the bonds of sacred communion.
(St. Ambrose, Letter to Emperor Gratian, Epistle 11:4)
Peter, that the head of the Apostles, the first in the Church, the friend of Christ, who received the revelation not from man but from the Father . . . this Peter, and when I say Peter, I mean the unbroken rock, the unshaken foundation, the great apostle, the first of the disciples, the first called, the first to obey.
(St. John Chrysostom, Almsgiving 3:4)
. . . yet one among the twelve is chosen so that when a head has been appointed, there may be no occasion for schism.
(St. Jerome, Against Jovinianus, Book I, 26; NPNF 2, Vol. VI)
The rising pestilence was first cut short by Rome, the see of Peter, which having become the head to the world of the pastoral office, holds by religion whatever it holds not by arms.
(St. Prosper of Aquitane, Song on the Enemies of Grace, 1)
But this mysterious function the Lord wished to be indeed the concern of all the apostles, but in such a way that He has placed the principal charge on the blessed Peter, chief of all the Apostles: and from him as from the Head wishes His gifts to flow to all the body: so that any one who dares to secede from Peter's solid rock may understand that he has no part or lot in the divine mystery.
(Pope St. Leo the Great, Letter X. To the Bishops of the Province of Vienne. In the matter of Hilary, Bishop of Arles, I; NPNF 2, Vol. XII)
. . . it was given to one to take the lead of the rest. . . . the care of the universal Church should converge towards Peter's one seat, and nothing anywhere should be separated from its Head.
(Pope St. Leo the Great, Letter XIV. To Anastasius, Bishop of Thessalonica, I, XII; NPNF 2, Vol. XII)
[T]he most blessed Peter received the headship of the Apostles from the LORD, and the Church of Rome still abides by His institutions . . .
(Pope St. Leo the Great, To Dioscorus, Bishop of Alexandria: Letter 9, 1, NPNF 2, Vol. III, 7)
When John Calvin extends his authority without limit, he does great and atrocious injustice not only to all bishops, whom he has thrown out of the Church, but to each single church, tearing and dismembering them, that he may exercise his arbitrary authority upon their ruins (after the iconoclastic riot and tearing down all supposed "idols").
When he exempts himself from all tribunals,
And what tribunal could ever bind Luther and Calvin? They simply spurned them all insofar as they disagreed with them. So it is quite comical for Calvin to rail against papal supremacy, when he was ultimately unaccountable to anyone, by his own design. At least popes had an express commission from Christ through Peter. Calvin had a commission from . . . the city council of Geneva or some such . . .
and wishes to reign in the manner of a tyrant, holding his own caprice to be his only law,
That's right: stretch the extreme caricature to the breaking-point. Anything but moderation of expression . . .
the thing is too insulting, and too foreign to ecclesiastical rule, to be on any account submitted to. It is altogether abhorrent, not only from pious feeling, but also from common sense.
Right . . . Calvin does talk a good game. We must grant him that, however fallacious and inaccurate his arguments habitually are.

Rest? What is this word; I do not think I know what it means!!??
Thanks for the vibes & hugs - needed and appreciated.
How I feel today, however, is thoughtful. Social Welfare ran out today...and I got a new job that starts on Friday, a year to the day that I was made redundant from a job I had for 12 years. Temp contract, but it'll get me through Christmas at least! Makes you wonder; does everything actually happen for a reason?
Hope Mr WW's throat gets better!

Two superior, ultralight pullovers in one. Windproof Pertex® ripstop nylon shell and lining. Reverses from dark, low-profile color to bright, high-visibility color. PrimaLoft® Gold insulation is highly compressible, and jacket packs down into interior chest pocket for easy transport. Designed as the "action side," the bright face has a single chest pocket but no hand pockets because these would be inaccessible when wearing a pack with hip belt. Reducing the pockets on this side also helps keep overall weight to a minimum and ensures exceptional, low-bulk packability.
Classic: Our most universal fit. Not too slim, not too relaxed on body. Designed to fit over midweight layers.
"This is the type of layer I would wear on nearly any outing, no matter how short or long. It gives a huge amount of warmth in a small, lightweight package and works well for layering in most conditions."

Engagement Pictures in Malibu {The W(h)iney Bride)
Even though we are getting married back at home, it was important for us to have a little touch of California in our wedding. We have started a life out here, adopted a dog here, were engaged here – and it seemed only right that we gave it a little of the recognition it deserved.
I did a few hours of research (mainly using the suggested vendors from theknot.com) to find the perfect photographer and finally decided on hiring the adorable Jordana from Hazelnut Photography. We liked her work for so many reasons, but all of her pictures picked up on lots of natural light, didn't include too many kitschy props, and she fit the budget. She had a great spot in mind to serve as a our backdrop and so off we went to El Matador Beach in Malibu, California on one windy, Saturday afternoon.
I had spent weeks picking out my outfits, trying to brighten my teeth, and making all of the necessary beauty appointments. It gave me a glimpse of how crazy I am going to be when my actual wedding gets closer, but the anticipation of the whole event was so fun.
When "the" Saturday got here, I took a long run in the morning to clear my nerves, and had a few mimosa's while we got ready so that I didn't feel like an enormous dweeb during the photoshoot.
It took me about 15 minutes to loosen up with a camera in front of my face, but Jordana was patient and kind — and two and a half hours later, she had collected enough pictures and we were on a merry way.
I haven't gotten the disk of the 800 pictures that she took just yet, but I thought you may enjoy seeing a sneak preview of some of the goods…

- Milling regular PCBs with non-SMD IC components should be possible with are fair margin
- Bits for milling MDF, stryrofoam HDPE and nylon should be possible
- Sub 1000 euro budget limit, including a set of drill bits matching our initial goals
5 crucial project ideas to pull this off
- cutting PCB circuit boards (resolution limits between two layers of 0.2 mm and 0.8 mm)
- prototyping custom boxes for the Nanode and Arduino kits people own
- engraving nametags, labels, equipment
- the Voidwarranties logo is the first to go: online barcode creator,
- transform the image to dxf
- mill it on acryl add some neon or LED-light
- mount it outside the josto-building
- cutting out mechanical parts for robottics.
- for furniture restoration: 3D scanning woodcarvings and recreate missing pieces.
- making models, molds, spare parts wich could be hard and/or expensive to come by.
- miniature furniture for the doll house, then scale it by a factor 10 and, goodbye IKEA shopping horrors.
- de houten spatel van de space is serieus aan vervanging toe en mag gelijk van het VW logo voorzien worden. Als het werkt millen we er een 20-tal.
Oops that make 8 :)

Research by Jeff
- I found some interesting links about milling PCB's:
The last days we've discovered some problems when milling PCB's. The accuracy of the CNC router seems to be pretty good, however it seems that our current milling bits are not suitable to perform the job. The ball point milling bit gives smooth tracks without sharp edges, but the milling width is heavily influenced when the PCB surface isn't flat. The other fine milling bit could not deliver smooth tracks due to sharp edges.
Another problem is the production of fine dust (and noise). It's certainly not healthy to breath in small copper particles so we really need to make an isolated box asap.
Thanks to the great insights of Kris Wauters I suggest the following todo's:
- Buy/order better milling bits (done - Jeff)
- Buy/order new clean (and straight) PCB's (done - Jeff)
- Make a flat bottom surface. Please notice that 'flat' is relative to the CNC machine & milling spindle (Dremel). So the best way to do this is placing the CNC router on a new MDF panel (18mm minimum) and mill about 1mm of the surface away. Then we are sure that the relative height/depth is the same for each possible coordinate. We need the following:
- MDF panel (700 x 700 x 18 mm) (or thicker)
- milling bit for MDF, flat top (10 a 20mm milling diameter)
- Find a better way to fix the PCB's. The best way seems to be using double sided tape, egally applied to the bottom PCB surface. Then the PCB is attached to the flattened (by milling) MDF surface. The tape will help in straighten the PCB surface by pulling it against the MDF surface.
- Buy strong double sided tape (not very thick)
- Design wooden box to place over the CNC router. The box should not be attached to CNC router itself, but I guess we can put it loosely on the MDF bottom plate. We can use small wooden beams on the bottom plate to assure that the box and the CNC router are always be placed on the same position.
- design box
- buy MDF plates
- buy wood glue
- buy wooden beams (10x10 or 15x15 mm)
- use plexiglass as lid? ("deksel")
- buy screws?
- design a panel to prevent dust from milling reach into electronics area
- measure and design panel (done - Jeff)
- create panel (planned - Jeff)
- use some kind of cleaning device to remove possible toxic dust

- Build a wooden case
- Build a seperator to insulate the electronics from dust
- measured the maximal range (X;173mm, Y:179mm)
- recalibrated the tension on the belt, the axis weren't true relative to one another
- tried to fix the third motor controller above the second one using 'draadstangen'
- mounted the third motor controller using draadstangen
- tried to engrave tux in scrap wood, which failed miserably
- increased the tension on the belt
- while doing the former we adjusted the way the tension bolts are attached
- increased the voltage on the Y axis motor
- second try at engraving tux, gcode is at http://pastebin.com/g6gK413Y#
- got loats of errors about a feedrate of zero, this is normal acording to https://groups.google.com/group/ultimaker/browse_thread/thread/6892f2b14d11b361 becaus of no feedback mechanism
- We didn't have enough time to let it mill the whole image, but we still saw that the result was quite accurate, exept for some strange errors. These were error always faded in or out, indicating variance on the Z axis. We suspect that the mill doesn't wait for the drill bit to reach traveling height before moving to another X,Y coordinate.
- This is probably caused by errors in the gcode outputted by cad.py (version 16/5/11 kurt)
- The error seems to be a missing G01 statement when raising to travel height:
- Third attempt at engraving tux in scrap wood, gcode at http://pastebin.com/ee8g8e0T
- Gcode was produced by cad.py (16/05/11, kurt) and corrected by the sed line `sed 's/^ Z/G01 Z/'`
- Engraving details: used a 1mm diameter round milling bit; dremel set a speed 4; depth 0.7mm; distance between paths 0.5 times the tool width
- both the gcode and the machine worked fine, leading to satisfying results, however some lesser issues were apparent
- the engraving depth was deeper at one side than at the other, which means the base plate is not parralel to the X,Y plane. There seems to be some glue residue on the base plate which we should sand off, and test afterwards if both planes are parralel
- paths need to be closer together than 0.5 times the tool width to get an even engraved surface when using a round milling bit to get an even engraved surface (striping was visible
- photographs of the last 3 attempts were taken, and should be uploaded soon
- started a test run of the VW logo in foam. As the goal is to engrave it 300 mm wide the design was sliced in two. the left part was converted to gcode using cad.py and corrected with sed. We used a 1mm engraving bit. The left part took 94 minutes to engrave (and counting)
- we will need real endmills to do any serious work
- cad.py doesn't optimize the order in which the paths are engraved, which makes the engraving time a lot longer than it needs to be
- I looked into pycam, a tool which looks promissing for milling out 3d objects and 2d engravings: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pycam/index.php?title=Main_Page
- Found a nice guide made by a guy who makes robotics components in his garage. He mills out the parts, makes a silicone mold and then casts the parts in PU.

Jeffrey, Ivo
- Finally I got my special CNC PCB milling bits from a Chinese Ebay vendor:
- 5 x 15° 0.1mm
- 5 x 40° 0.1mm
- 5 x 60° 0.2mm
- I also bought some new PCB's (these are really flat)
- I fixed the PCB on a MDF bottom plate with double sided tape
- I place the 60° 0.2mm bit in the Dremel
- I loaded the same test shape that we used before for testing PCB milling
- Some parts on the PCB are milled deep enough, others are not
- This can be solved by milling a square in the MDF bottom plate, so that the whole surface is equal in depth related to the CNC machine
- With the 15° 0.1mm bit we should be able to increase the depth easily
- Edges are very smooth (best so far)
- I noticed something interesting:
- The starting point (used for height/depth calibration) is not milled like I supposed
- Instead of a small dot / hole, a tiny circle was milled (see picture)
- This declares why the milled tracks are quite thick (relative to 0.2mm bit)
- This is probably due to runout ("speling") in the Dremel spindle
- Probably the accuracy can be increased with a better spindle (with ball bearing) like the KRESS 800 FME
TomVerlinden, Ivom
- Rust!!!! Bot seems defunct, greasing the rods on next installment.
TomVerlinden, Ivom
- Lubrication of the rods has fixed the bot, theoretically the rods could be replaced with BZR or INOX rods.
- Ran the 100x100mm square. There is a serious horizontal tilt on the flat surface. Fixing it on the next installment

- CNC has no working hardware anymore.
- The idea of getting a working enviroment on a laptop is too far fetched.
- I've taken the cnc @ home, so i have more time to spend to get it working again.
- As soon there's a working setup, an image needs to be taken and exported to hardware in our space.
- I've installed a fresh version of 12.04 along with all it's updates.
- To be continued...
--Tom 13:50, 5 August 2012 (CEST)
- The first attempt to get the cnc connected has succeeded.
- This is done with replicatorG version 25 and the xml provided by Kefcom and Hexman. (have to look at the two files and check for differences. If there are any)
- Further testing upon connection issues will go on through the day.
- If this is succesful, next up is uploading G-code and see if it works.
- To be continued...

Meet the Mini Velo, Soma's newest bicycle. It's a viable solution to living a carless lifestyle in our increasingly dense cities. With a width of less than five feet it can fit where most other bicycles can't. This style of bicycle is already a huge success in Japanese cities, where space is tight.
Being the one of the graphic designers at Soma, I was responsible for getting some shots of the Mini Velo navigating downtown San Francisco. I rode the Mini Velo for a week and I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. I wasn't so keen on the idea of trading in my Soma Smoothie for the Mini Velo. How would it handle? Would it be comfortable?
Riding the Mini Velo was a little surreal at first. With its small wheels and compact build, it definitely feels different than any bike I've ever ridden. It really won me over; the Mini Velo is very responsive! Last Friday I spent the whole afternoon riding with a friend (who was on a Univega mixte) around San Francisco. There was no point in the ride that I felt uncomfortable or had any trouble keeping up. Also, I made lots of friends; San Franciscans were pretty taken with it (we even had a bike messenger do a wheelie on it).
So yes, the Mini Velo is fun to ride, why else would you want it? COMMUTING IS SO MUCH EASIER! Normally when I take the BART(high-speed train in Bay Area) with my bicycle (every weekday), I'm always really stressed out that I'm going to smack one of my fellow commuters in the face when I carry it up the station stairs. When I'm navigating through station crowds I feel pretty awkward maneuvering. When I had the Mini Velo, I felt so much more at ease in these activities, I felt much more in control of my movements! Also, it takes up a whole lot less space on the train, much to my relief (and the relief of my fellow commuters I'm sure).

The Mini Velo's compact build was not only an advantage on the train, it was also a huge advantage in my apartment and it when we photographed it in my friend's cubicle. Normally I can barely get through my front doorway with my Smoothie parked there. Moving around my apartment can be really awkward. The Mini Velo is small enough that it fades into your furnishings; it's not a prominent feature (which in a studio apartments, bicycles definitely tend to be). And if you've got roommates, they will thank you! Also, while I don't work in a cubicle, I decided to take some pictures of the Mini Velo in my friend's. As illustrated, the Mini Velo fit very comfortably. Don't worry about leaving your bike locked up outside all day anymore…

Debian packages are by far the best of the Linux packaging / distribution formats, but I've still found too many dependencies and hang ups to say that the compare to what you find in Windows / OSX for the average user.
TBH, I miss the days when 90+% of installs on OSX were just dragging and dropping an icon. I always thought that was the most logical and user friendly install I've seen, as well as handling updates inside the application (instead of through an application control panel), but apparently no one designing OSes agrees.
YES, since i have moved to OS X, i love how everthing is in the ONE folder!

Grand Cayman Travel Information
The Basics
Local time is GMT -5.
Electrical current is 110 volts, 60Hz. American style two-pin plugs are standard.
English is the official language.
Travel Health
Generally there are no specific health risks and food and water are considered safe, however note that some types of tropical reef fish may be poisonous when eaten, even well cooked. Dengue fever has been reported from the Caribbean region and insect protection measures should be taken. Medical facilities are relatively good; there is both a public and private hospital, one with a decompression chamber. Serious cases will normally be transferred to Miami. Visitors should take out adequate travel and medical insurance to cover the possible need for air ambulance.
Most restaurants and hotels automatically add a 10 to 15% service charge to the bill, otherwise a gratuity of the same amount is expected. At hotels, a 10% government tax is also usually added to the cost of your room. Taxi drivers expect a 10 to 15% tip.
Safety Information
The Cayman Islands has a relatively low crime rate. Nevertheless, visitors are advised to take the usual sensible precautions as they would anywhere else in respect of their personal safety and belongings. Do not leave valuables lying about, keep them in a hotel or other safety deposit box. Visitors should be aware of the risk of flooding during hurricane season (June to November) and follow local advice with regards to leaving the island in the event of an approaching hurricane.
Local Customs
The culture is a blend of American, British and West Indian traditions. The churchgoing Caymanians appreciate politeness and modesty - topless bathing and nudity is illegal and beachwear in not acceptable off the beach.
The Cayman Islands are one of the principal financial centres in the world. The hub of business occurs in George Town on Grand Cayman. Business dress within the financial industry is formal, but other businesses may have a more relaxed protocol. After hours meetings are usually fairly casual. Handshakes on introduction are followed by the exchange of business cards. General business hours are 8am to 5pm, while banks open at 9am and close at 4pm Monday to Friday.
The international access code for the Cayman Islands is +1, in common with the US, Canada and most of the Caribbean, followed by 345. The outgoing code is 011 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 01144 for the United Kingdom). International direct dialling is available. Mobile phone coverage is good and operates on a GSM 900/1800 network; phones can be rented. Internet cafes are widely available.
Duty Free
Travellers entering the Cayman Islands may take 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 225g of tobacco, as well as one litre of alcohol, without paying duty on these.

Creamy Avocado Dressing (aka Guacamole Buttermilk Dressing)
For a new salad that I have been thinking about I wanted a nice and cool and creamy dressing and I was thinking about trying something a little bit different, an avocado dressing. I am so totally addicted to avocados and I am always looking for new ways to enjoy them! I was originally planning on including diced avocado in the salad but I liked the idea of a creamy avocado dressing even more. For the avocado dressing I was thinking about starting it off a lot like a guacamole with plenty of fresh ingredients like cilantro, lime juice and even some jalapeno peppers to add a touch of heat. A quick search of the internet for these ingredients turned up a recipe for an avocado dressing pretty much just like the one that I was thinking about on Skinny Taste . I did make one quick change to the recipe by including some mayonnaise which goes fabulously well with avocados. I have to say that this avocado dressing is amazingly good; nice and creamy so so fresh and vibrant! Now I just need to resist eating it all by the spoonful so that it can make it into the salad!
Creamy Avocado Dressing (aka Guacamole Buttermilk Dressing)
A cool and creamy avocado dressing with tangy buttermilk, fresh cilantro and lime juice along with some spicy jalapeno pepper.
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 small jalapeno
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 lime, juice
- 1 green onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (completely optional)
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- salt and pepper to taste
- Puree everything in a blender until smooth. Store in fridge and finish within a few days.
Note: Leave the seeds in for more heat or remove them for less.
Note: Use more buttermilk to make it thinner or less to make it thicker.

Teen accused of shooting karate instructor with pelletBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | November 23,2012A local teenager is facing criminal charges after police said he fired a plastic pellet from an air gun through the door of the Vermont Martial Arts Studio and hit an instructor in the leg on Sept. 25.
Bradley S. Leonard, 16, of Rutland, was arraigned in Rutland criminal court on Monday on misdemeanor charges of simple assault and reckless endangerment.
In an affidavit, Officer Kenneth Mosher, of the Rutland Police Department, said he was sent to the Merchants Row karate studio on Sept. 25 around 6 p.m. due to a report that someone had fired an air rifle from a passing car.
Mosher said when he reached the scene, he noted there were about 15 young students, who he described as toddlers and pre-school aged children, practicing in the studio.
According to Mosher, David Orvis, who was 46 at the time, told police he had been hit in the left leg.
An off-duty Vermont State Police trooper turned over a black plastic pellet he found at the scene, Mosher said.
Orvis gave police the license plate number of the car from which the pellet came. The car was tracked to a juvenile, whose name police did not provide, who said he had been in the car with two friends, one of them Leonard.
On Sept. 26, Mosher met with Leonard and his father.
"Both (Leonard) and (the father, Scott Leonard) had repeatedly apologized about the incident and offered concerns for any injuries that were incurred. (They) were relieved to hear that Orvis was not seriously injured by the incident and seemed to be embarrassed by the incident and wanted to do whatever they could do to make it right," Mosher said.
Leonard told police he had intended to simply fire the air rifle out the window randomly but realized after he did that the pellet had entered the karate studio. He and his friends panicked and fled the area, according to Mosher.
The affidavit said police were not charging the driver because of his age but Mosher said he warned the driver "as he enters adulthood he should understand that he would be held accountable for the actions of the passengers in his vehicle."
Leonard, who pleaded innocent on Monday, was released without bail.

I don't mean when it came out, that date I know. No, i mean how old is the story itself?
Looking back at the earliest Discworld novels (re-reading Mort atm) I noticed something:
Take the established characters and 'tweaks' connected to them from UA and you got a novel that would fit right in with the first four or five Discworld Novels.
Back then the orc as he is would have, IMHO, fitting into the stories much better as back then things were much more if not mainly over-the-top parodies.
Therefore, could it be that UA was actually written around the time of CoM or ER, but was never published and just got tweaked a bit to 'fit' into the universe as it is now?

They were two men driven by a mutual love of professional wrestling and a competitive desire to constantly prove who was the better man. McGuinness and Danielson collided in an unforgettable quartet of matches in 2006 while the former reigned as ROH Pure Champion and the latter as World Champion, highlighted by an intense Title Unification match in front of Nigel's home country.
