Know your 2009 pilots: FOX edition -- with guest star Earl Hickey
FOX has one of the more stable drama slates on TV, with a certified hit in "House," solid veterans like "24" and "Bones" and a pair of first-year shows, "Fringe" and "Lie to Me," that have performed pretty well. Throw in "American Idol" and the various output of Gordon Ramsay and you've got the makings of a pretty decent network lineup.
What it doesn't have on the air at the moment is a live-action comedy. The Sunday animation lineup still chugs along, but after the failure of "Do Not Disturb" in the fall, FOX has disappeared "'Til Death" from its schedule (although it has also somewhat inexplicably renewed the show). That leaves a total of zero half-hour comedies on the network.
So for the third installment of these Know Your Pilots posts (and don't forget the gallery of pilot season's familiar faces), I'm going to focus mostly on what the network is trying to do with its comedy development.
FOX Entertainment president Kevin Reilly has said he doesn't want to put comedies on the schedule just to have them there; instead he's looking for "a show that can either fire up a time period and we can spend a lot of money marketing it or ... a show that will be compatible behind 'Idol'" or that works with the animation block.
One intriguing possibility not from the pilot roster is "My Name Is Earl." Deadline Hollywood Daily reported Wednesday that FOX might be interested in the show, which is produced by FOX sibling 20th Century Fox TV has seen its ratings on NBC stumble, if the Peacock decides not to bring it back for a fifth season.
Whether "Earl" has enough juice left in it to help reverse FOX's comedy fortunes is an open question. Same goes for the projects below (one note: the space-set show "Boldly Going Nowhere" isn't on the the list because it's been put back into the development grinder. If it comes back around, it probably wouldn't be until at least early 2010).
What it is: A remake of the classic Britcom "Absolutely Fabulous"
Why we're interested: Stars Kathryn Hahn and Kristen Johnston are intriguing choices to play Eddie and Patsy, but will this one succeed where several other remake attempts have failed?
What it is: The story of an ex-pro football player (ex-pro football player Michael Strahan) who reconnects with his wheelchair-bound brother (Darryl "Chill" Mitchell).
Why we're interested: Strahan did an amusing guest spot on "Chuck" this season, but could he carry a show?
"Cop House"
What it is: Ensemble show about a group of troubled police officers who live in a halfway house before being allowed back on the job.
Why we're interested: Mostly for the cast, which includes Tony Hale, Rachael Harris, Scott Caan and Nora Zehetner.
What it is: The story of the CIA office in a small South American nation and its efforts to install a new dictator.
Why we're interested: Ben Stiller is directing it, and it's the kind of weird premise that could be either brilliant or a train wreck.
"Sons of Tucson"
What it is: Three rich kids hire a dude to pose as their father while their real dad is in prison.
Why we're interested: The dude in question is "Reaper's" Tyler Labine, and "Malcolm in the Middle"/"Wonderfalls" veteran Todd Holland is directing it.
"Two Dollar Beer"
What it is: A recession-themed comedy about young people living in Detroit.
Why we're interested: Because we're curious to see whether material like this can be funny.
So those are all the comedies. Here are a couple of dramas that sound like fun:
"Human Target"
What it is: Based on the DC/Vertigo comic book about a security expert who takes on the identities of his clients to draw out potential threats.
Why we're interested: Because of the cast: Mark Valley in the title role, supported by Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley.
What it is: A globe-hopping thriller about the search for stolen works of art.
Why we're interested: "Prison Break" creator Paul Scheuring is writing it, and it's something we haven't seen too much of on the small screen.

Encountering a roadblock in the narrow streets of old Delhi can be a nightmare. You cannot reverse your car, you cannot move it ahead, and you cannot turn it around. Except, if you are in a car that has a turning radius of just 4 metres, and that turns others on with its new looks. Welcome to the new Tata Nano Twist.
Promoted as a value car, it is precisely this thing that worked against the Nano ever since it was launched in 2009. Two-wheeler owners, who aspired to own a car and raised enough money to buy a Nano, usually reconsidered their decision, waited a bit, raised more money and bought an Alto instead. The good thing is that, with the Twist, Tata is now aiming to reposition the Nano not as a value car but rather a fashionable and urban youth mobile.
The Nano remains a cute-looking car, no doubt about it. So it's perhaps a good thing that the Nano Twist doesn't get any major changes to the exterior. You should go and check out the new purple colour, though, which looks cool. Although alloy wheels are not a standard fitment on any of the Nano variants, these are available as accessories at Tata dealers and can be considered.
There are subtle and smart changes in the cabin. First, you get keyless entry. Then there are twin gloveboxes on the dashboard—one is inconveniently placed between the steering wheel and the windshield but is nevertheless useful. The audio system now comes with Bluetooth connectivity and the speakers are among the best in class. The positioning of the steering wheel, though, can be an issue with tall drivers—what makes things slightly uncomfortable is that the steering wheel is not adjustable. You also get a revised gearshift console and the front power window buttons aresituated right behind the gear lever. If you overlook the boot space for a while, the Nano Twist offers the maximum amount of space in its class and even four tall people can very easily fit inside the smallest production car in India. (A small luggage space of 80 litres is provided in the Nano behind the rear seat.) The fabrics and overall fit and finish, though, still reflect that even this finest Nano has been build to a price. The centrally-located information cluster looks fresh—you get a digital clock, fuel and engine temperature gauges and a distance-to-empty display.
The Nano Twist gets the Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), which has been developed by ZF Lenksysteme—a German automotive company that is one of the world's best in the field of steering systems. This EPAS comes equipped with the 'active return' feature. What it does is pulls the steering wheel back to the centre position on its own every time you turn the steering wheel—needed because the front axle is not heavy enough to help return the steering wheel to central position naturally.

RABAT, Morocco: A top Moroccan official says the U.N. envoy to the disputed Western Sahara has failed in his mission, calling Friday for the U.N. secretary general to take the "necessary measures" so talks can resume in an impartial atmosphere.
The remarks by Youssef Amrani, the No. 2 at the Moroccan Foreign Ministry, are the closest the government has come to calling for the firing of Christopher Ross, a former U.S. diplomat charged with resolving a dispute that has run since 1976 when Morocco took over the mineral-rich former Spanish colony and annexed it.
In 1991, a truce between Morocco and the Algerian-backed Polisario Front - fighting for the independence of the Western Sahara - opened the way for U.N.-brokered talks on a referendum for self-determination.
Amrani - speaking to a local radio station, in an interview carried by the state news agency - said Ross "did not advance negotiations," and he hoped United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon would take the "necessary measures" because he "cannot continue working in such a climate of partiality that characterized the negotiations."
Morocco said Thursday it had withdrawn its confidence in Ross, saying he was biased and violated his mandates by listening too closely to the Front.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky defended Ross' position Friday, saying "the secretary-general has complete confidence" in him. It is unclear, however, what the future of the talks will be if Morocco refuses to deal with Ross.
The United Nations announced Friday that Ross has no plans to travel to Western Sahara "at this time." Ross had said previously that he planned an "extensive" visit there in mid-May.
For its part, the Polisario condemned Morocco's allegation as unfounded and arbitrary, and the latest effort by Morocco to prevent a solution to the 36-year-old dispute.
"This decision is a new, intolerable challenge by Morocco to the international community, the secretary general of the U.N. and the Security council," the group said in a statement.
The U.N. secretary general said last month that after nine rounds, the talks were at a stalemate. Morocco has called for wide-ranging autonomy instead of a referendum, a position rejected by the Polisario.
Much of Morocco's ire with Ross, who was once the U.S. ambassador to Syria, appears to stem from his last report to the secretary general in April, in which he called for greater powers for the U.N. peacekeeping force of about 230 military personnel, known as MINURSO, including gathering information on human rights.
The U.N. is supposed to be helping the Western Saharans prepare for an often-postponed vote on self-determination.
The report said Moroccan interference has undermined the peacekeeping force's appearance of independence and prevented people from freely contacting them.
The report also raised the possibility of Moroccan eavesdropping, saying there were "indications that the confidentiality of communications between MINURSO headquarters and New York was, at least on occasion, compromised."
Tajeddine Husseini, a professor of law at Mohammed V University in Rabat, pinpointed Ross' report and the efforts to expand the role of MINURSO as behind the Moroccan anger.
"The decision was expected after the last report of Ross was biased, lacking credibility and objectivity and exceeding the framework given by the Security Council," the professor told the state news agency.
The future of the Western Sahara is an extremely sensitive issue for Morocco and seen as a case of national sovereignty. It is very difficult to express opinions contrary to those of the state.
According to the weekly Maroc Hebdo on Friday, Moroccan Foreign Minister Saadeddine al-Othmani first expressed his dissatisfaction to the U.N. over Ross on May 11.

Press for CCP Games
Japanese sandbox fans are saying domo arigato this morning, as CCP and Nexon have officially launched a localized version of EVE Online in the land of the rising sun.
CCP Games and Nexon Co., Ltd. (3659:Tokyo) are proud to announce the successful live launch of the much-anticipated localized Japanese version of CCP's massively multiplayer science-fiction game, EVE Online, on March 28 (March 29, Tokyo time).
When I first heard about Ubisoft's Far Cry "multi-player online universe" I mused:
"What I've always wanted to see in an online first-person-shooter and what I haven't seen yet is an attempt to stage a real online FPS war. No NPC characters at all, no bots. The players would control everything and would rise up in the ranks. As you rose higher in the ranks, you'd be in charge of other players or entire regions, setting strategy and calling in air support and so forth. Get even higher, and you'd have to coordinate supply chains or risk letting other players run out of ammo, grenades, and medkits."
While day one of CCP's Fanfest was focused on Dust 514, day two is all about EVE Online, and the schedule is jam packed with panels. The day's sessions all culminated with the EVE Online keynote speech, where the developers openly discussed the previous year of EVE and what to expect in 2012.

Publisher's Description
A Different Gospel, a book for the heart and the mind, is must reading for those who seek reliable information about the Word of Faith movement.
Every Christian should read this book in order to be aware of the dangerous implications of the widespread and cultic Word of Faith movement preaching what is popularly known as "Name It and Claim It" theology. A Different Gospel is a bold and revealing examination of the biblical and historical basis of this movement. This new and revised edition is complete with a foreword by Hank Hanegraaff, author of Christianity in Crisis, and a new afterward by D. R. McConnell.
The author knows the movement first hand and has a heart for those snared by it. He is also an academically trained observer who has based his work on careful historical and biblical analysis. McConnell warns of the movements cultic nature in its doctrine of healing and its understanding of the atonement and demonstrates how far the movements doctrine of prosperity is from Scriptures true teaching.

Watchman on the wallOhioAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Well researched and enlighteningMarch 4, 2012Watchman on the wallOhioAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5By the summer of 1988, I had been heavily involved with the Word of Faith for 8 years. By this time I had accumulated almost all of Ken C.'s and Ken H.'s tapes and books, as well as many materials from several other prominent WOF teachers. Every now and then, throughout those years, I would hear or read something that just didn't seem to add up to what the Bible clearly said, or with how the NT describes how the Early Church and the apostles had actually lived; but instead of really investigating it, I just kind of stored it in the back of my mind. In the summer of '88, my (WOF) church secretary had shown me her copy of 'A Different Gospel' and shared with me a few things about it, which prompted me to purchase my own copy. Every page was such an eye-opener that I couldn't put it down. After thinking about it, and studying the scriptures to see what they actually said without the WOF spin on them, I decided to leave the WOF.
I do agree with the WOF, however, that we need a positive outlook where our faith is concerned, and we need to give much more freedom to the move and gifts of the Holy Spirit. But having faith in one's own faith is not a principle taught in the Word of God, but having faith in God is. And the teaching of the hundred-fold return in Mark's gospel had nothing to do with "money", or becoming wealthy by it, but was taught by Jesus as the blessing one would receive for leaving his/her family (fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, children, houses, and lands) to preach the gospel wherever Jesus would lead. The Bible does not promise us that God will supply all our needs according to "our" treasures in heaven, but according to "His" treasures in glory by Christ Jesus! Be a good Berean and check out what the scriptures say for yourself.
Russell5 Stars Out Of 5April 23, 2010RussellIn this book, McConnell makes a well-researched and vital contibution to the body of literature dealing with the "Word of Faith" movement. The Bible instructs all Christians to be persons of the "Word" and persons of "Faith," however, many of the teachings promoted by the "Word of Faith" movement distort the intent of the biblical authors. McConnell's book is invaluable to anyone researching this topic.
David1 Stars Out Of 5February 3, 2010DavidIt's interesting that the Apostle Paul would call himself a "Word of Faith" preacher (Romans 10:8), yet McConnell calls it a false doctrine. He is merely another religious writer with nothing positive to say, making a living (If one can call it that) by criticising real men and women of God. I'll stick with the Apostle Paul thanks.
Wolfgang Dietrich5 Stars Out Of 5January 4, 2006Wolfgang Dietrichthis is a very good book that lets you know the bad background of this perverted movement.It came to Germany in the 80th but couldnt get established.Unfortunelly over the years by spreading these teachings over the medias it seems that it now is bringing "fruits".Without studying this kind of lecture its almost difficult to see the bad roots and to distinquish between the tru and false gospel.

Robert Pattinson Has a New Problem: He Can't Stop Giggling! (VIDEO)
Robert Pattinson has a problem. And, surprisingly, it has nothing to do with Kristen Stewart.
Brace yourself: Rob simply can't stop giggling.
In an interview with MTV First, R. Pattz chats candidly about his new film, Cosmopolis — which he likens to "watching a rock" — including sex scenes, not losing his English accent, and preparing for the role.
Of course, there are a few Twilight questions here and there, but thankfully interviewer Josh Horowitz steers clear of any cheating scandal queries, unlike previous appearances on Good Morning America and The Daily Show. While we're pretty sure Rob was laughing nervously during those aforementioned interviews, this time around he seems genuinely ecstatic about the film and life in general.
But hey, he's an actor — maybe he's just really good at hiding his gloom!
Either way, click the video below to watch the first segment — in which he talks about shooting a gun, peeing in cars, and "pie in the face movies" — and then head to MTV.com to watch all 30 minutes of R. Pattz smiling, giggling, and wearing a backwards cap. Adorable.

Watch Parents Tell Their Kids They Ate All Their Halloween Candy: Part 2 of Jimmy Kimmel's Challenge! (VIDEO)
If you remember last Halloween, Jimmy Kimmel challenged the parents of America to trick their kiddos into believing they had eaten every last ounce of their Halloween candy. Thousands of parents took the challenge, taping their tots' hilarious reactions and posting them on YouTube. Tears and tantrums ensued. Well, it was too good to not make into a sequel: Behold, part two! Some kids collapse. Others erupt into a fit of rage. And then there are those with the most surprising response of all: forgiveness.

Harrison's Killebrew getting attention from colleges
IU, Kentucky among schools showing interest in Warriors' all-around standout
Aaron Killebrew is a one-man whirlwind for Harrison High School's football team. On offense, he plays slotback, quarterback and may even see time at running back. On defense, he plays cornerback. On special teams, he returns kickoffs and punts and serves as the Warriors' punter.
"I love it," Killebrew said after Harrison's first regular practice on Monday at Romain Stadium. "I hate to sit on the sidelines. Ever since I started playing in first grade, I was a kick returner and punt returner. I basically played all the positions I'm playing now."
Primarily a quarterback on offense last season, Killebrew was 30-for-70 passing for 424 yards with five touchdowns and five interceptions. He was more effective running the ball, gaining 906 yards on 162 attempts, including 12 scores.
Eric Blackman, who took over as quarterback for the last two games of last season, will probably start in that role in the Warriors' season opener at West Vigo on Aug. 17, said Harrison coach Brian Lewis.
"Aaron is one kid we'll use in multiple positions," Lewis said. "He will get the ball in many different areas. He will line up in as many positions as I can create. He's one of the most versatile players I've ever had. He'll line up at running back and about any position outside of offensive guard. His speed and athleticism allows us to do a lot of things that puts the defense at odds."
Last fall, Killebrew was invited to attend the University of Kentucky's home game against Florida.
"There were so many people there it was hard to get it all in my head," said the 5-foot-9, 165-pound senior. "I loved it, actually."
While UK is looking at him primarily as a cornerback, Indiana University likes him as a slotback, Killebrew said.
"I like both positions," he said. "It doesn't matter to me at all."
He's always liked to play defense because it's more fun to hit somebody than get hit, but said he just wants to be on the field.
Earlier this summer, Killebrew attended a Southern Illinois camp in Carbondale and an Indiana State camp at Central High School. Georgetown University and Butler have also expressed interest.
In addition to his elusiveness, college scouts drool over KIllebrew's sprinter's speed. He qualified for the state track meet in the 100 meters last spring; his best time was 10.77 in the Indiana-Kentucky challenge at Romain Stadium.
If Killebrew was a few inches taller, he would be receiving a lot more looks from college scouts, Lewis said.
Building a program is still a work in progress for Lewis, who has only 35 players on the varsity and JV combined. The Warriors, 2-9 last season, hope to start off with their third successive win over West Vigo.

1. People don't use turn signals. 2. Even the cops go over 40 (in a 30) on Laketon Ave. 3. When you go the speed limit the pickup or SUV behind you is right on you rear bumper. 4. When you see the light change to red ahead and let off the gas to slow down the car behind you accelerates and goes around (like they're going through?). They they complain that their gas guzzler costs too much to fill. 5. A lot of people ride around on dangerously low tires. 6. Cell phones, texting, left turns from the right lane....
On the odd times I get calls from collection companies I tell them I'll pay the people I owe (which I do eventually) not them. There are plenty of people who've stiffed me but since I'm a landlord they feel it's OK. I'm just happy to just be rid of them (you know who you are) but I refuse to be in a constant bitter battle with those won't pay anyway.
As long as the Republican Party's strategy is to appeal to the bitterest, Religiously least tolerant, most selfish among us, it doesn't matter who they run. They all seem to think that everybody else is is unqualified. I remember it was "Obama's Fault" before he was sworn in. I wish there were enough Republicans willing to get on with the process of governing, for the sake of the country. The "no to the black man" policy is completely transparent. I, for one, think Obama is thoughtful, caring, and trying to do his best. The inaction of Congress is not the President's doing. It's a shame that so many don't understand that money has no national loyalty, and the rich don't want to supply us with jobs or energy. They want to drain the world's wealth and go back to the times of the Robber Barrons. The majority of us just want a secure economic future.
What's the point in trying to use less if they raise the rate if you do?

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 19 May 2011 11:10AM
The new positioning is the first stage of a two-year change programme, approved by the IDM Board and Trustees, that will ensure the Institute continues to be fit to service the professional training and development needs of the next generation of marketers.
Derek Holder, IDM managing director, said: "In the face of today's rapidly changing environment, every business needs to constantly redefine its purpose and market relevance.
"Given the impact of digital technologies on marketing and the fact that the IDM business model itself has changed dramatically over the past five years, it's imperative that the Institute evolves to reflect the new values and priorities of the marketing profession it serves."
The change programme introduces a new brand identity for the IDM, a new website, two new, state-of-the-art, south west London training suites and three senior marketer appointments to the IDM board.
They are: Ewan Carpenter, global digital marketing director at GlaxoSmithKline; Lawrence Mitchell, marketing director of Reed Business Information; and Shane Redding, an independent consultant and director of Think Direct.
The IDM claims to be the first ever awarding body for an internationally recognised Diploma in Direct Marketing and the first to develop a professional Certificate and Diploma in Digital Marketing, in 2005.
Currently, 60% of IDM business is digital and just last month, the Institute launched its newest qualification, the IDM Award in Data Management, with an exclusively online study option.

Christian Fellowship
"That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving..." Psalm 26:7
Vol. 18, No. 1 January 2009
The watch word for our day seems to be "obedience." God is driving this response home to us until it is deep in our hearts. I have such a love and trust for God that I believe He will give us exactly what we need to bring us to complete peace and safety in this day of uncertainty.
I have been noticing that there is much attack over the people of God in this hour to break them down and to cause them to back away from what God is asking and doing. We must not give in at any cost. Either He is God or He is not. Either He rules and reigns or we act on own, in which case our efforts will come to nothing. Stand firm in this day and don't let the enemy run over you. Obey the Lord's voice and honor Him as King who rules in absolute authority and sovereignty. No other rulership on earth or under the earth can compare to His outstanding ways.
There is a verse in the Bible that shows us how to stand victorious through all the onslaught: 1Jo 5:18 KJV "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not."
The word "keepeth" means to "hold fast." What are we to hold fast to? The commands of God! When we walk in obedience to the Lord, the wickedness from the evil one cannot touch us or bring us any harm. Glory! You see, obedience really is the answer for every believer today. It brings you to a life that is filled with joy and fulfillment. So be OBEDIENT and watch the Lord take care of you.
In Christ,
Pr. Steve
It's About Power
1Co 4:20 (KJV) "For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power."
We are in a state of reformation (or correction) of our thinking. Our goal is not to go to heaven. All religions have this as their goal. Our goal is to find our place with Christ in the center of God's person and will so we can live today.
People want to go to heaven because of the promise of heaven or paradise. But the tree of life in the Garden of Eden pointed to Jesus Christ who is coming back to earth. So our desire should become that of wanting to be where Christ Jesus is. Mat 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Your treasure must become what Jesus is - without a sinful nature ruling your life.
In the past century we can look back and find that the restoration of Pentecost became an emotional and dramatized experience. As long as we think heaven is the answer, people will remain emotional for fear of not making it. Emotions are acceptable at the right time – but that makes it too much about me. This has produced:
Subjective Christianity
- Is produced by the mind
- Is based on feelings or temperament
- Responds to certain conditions
Objective Christianity
- Allows Christ's life to become real
- Is not based on feelings or emotions
- Is not based on symptoms or outward appearances
God is teaching us how to live so we have something to give to others. People are easily deceived just because they want to believe and keep in their minds that which is unreal. Living a life by the Spirit of God is reality – it is not something you just dream about. God is much more involved in this earth and in the lives of people than we understand. But as the evil continues to increase, we are recognizing God more and more in the everyday occurrences of our existence. God is making us into Christ' image so that we can be like Him in every respect. This is our destiny.
Do not allow yourself to stay in discouragement very long. Keep persevering because things are going to change – they have to – they always do. But if we are not established, settled, and strengthened with the Truth of God in our being, then when the change finally comes we won't be ready. God is absolutely faithful. He is getting ready to pour out the best wine now. And then we will understand the fullness of this scripture: 1Co 4:20 "For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power."
How many of you have ever been sick and tried to talk yourself out of your sickness? That technique, based on metaphysical principles, makes us our own traffic cop. For example, the following scenario illustrates how we may try to reason our sickness away by forgiveness: "I got sick because I was angry with so and so. If I forgive him, I will get healed. I have arthritis today because I have been holding a grudge for many years. If I go to that person and make things right, my arthritis will go away." This example is called metaphysical manipulation is not my God and Savior. God is the source of all authority and power. As we call on the Lord and pray the prayer of faith, we exercise our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not exercise the power of positive thinking or positive speaking. We call on the Lord. If when we are praying something comes to mind that we need to forgive or seek forgiveness in, we speak it forth and God moves in power and wisdom – whatever is needed – and we receive a healing or a miracle.
The emphasis is: CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD. This is the power we are getting ready to experience in this hour. Can you receive this preparation?
The earth is filled with inhumane actions today. All of these actions are a result of evil that comes from the rebellion of Satan. Rape, murder, thievery, prostitution, incest, abortions are all common today. These, and other evils, are going to get much worse - worse than Sodom's. Satan doesn't have much time left, so he is attacking with all he has.
While the people and the courts have become soft on judgment, the Lord will not be soft. He is patient, but not soft. As soon as the Father gives the signal, the Word of Christ will rise up and begin to avenge Himself. All that has been done will come to maturity. All that we have been numbed to will suddenly be awakened.
The Father has given all authority and power to Jesus Christ. He does control all that takes place. He will not let those who have taken hold of Him perish. They will be empowered to come forth with great authority over the evil of our day. This does not mean we go forth and start dealing with abortion rights, or freedom of speech or homosexuality. We may think Jesus is agreeing with us, but that view is why nothing has changed. Jesus is looking for righteous living, not democracy or philosophy.
· Abortion is the same as throwing children into the fires of Molech. Killing children was wrong then and it is still an abomination to God.
· We may think we need to protect our rights of free speech, but James tells us we need to tame our tongues. It is about righteousness, not a band wagon for the next thing that comes along.
· No matter what reasoning people use about homosexuality, it is not an alternate life style. It is detestable to God, and those who participate in it without repentance and change will pay a severe penalty.
· Those who molest, prey upon family members, perform or even incite such evil must be delivered by the power of God or suffer the consequences.
We are not in a new age of enlightenment. To believe we are is one of the reasons there is so much confusion. Christians are taking on the information of our free society and making it a part of their walk with Christ. The Bible teaches us to separate ourselves from the world and to become pure in our walk, our talk, our attitudes and our actions. I'm not talking about legalism – we are not going back there. I am talking about the freedom of the Lord that leads us into POWER. That's what it's all about: POWER!
I do not trust in the government, I do not trust in the educational system, I do not trust in money, I do not trust in family values that come from some popular psychologist. I TRUST IN THE LORD. Psa 71:1 "In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion."
At one time, this nation's people put their trust in God. They prayed and spoke reverently about God and His help, but no more. Today, we are cynical. But the one who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved – made whole and complete.(Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13)
Where will we be when trouble fills our land? To whom will we turn? Mat 28:18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."
The question is: Where is the power in your life?
The answer is: It is in the IMAGE OF CHRIST!
-Pr. Steve.
. . . My calling as a pastor

Jan. 3: Everything comes from You and we have given You only what comes from Your own hand. I bow down and pay homage to my Lord and King.
Jan. 4: It is in Your name that I live and move and have my being. I will praise, exalt and extol the Name above all names – Jesus Christ my Lord.
Jan. 5: When loving kindness meets with truth, righteousness and peace will come forth and we will praise the Lord.

Jan. 15: "Do not fret over things you cannot change. Do not worry about things you have no control over. Instead rest in the assurance that I rule in authority and all power."
Jan. 22: There is no fear in love, perfect love drives out fear. If you fear you have not yet reached maturity.

Jan. 31: "Press on, you are on the path I have set for you. The enemy has set traps. Walk cautiously and you will not be enslaved. I am taking you to a new place of great awareness. With it comes satisfaction, knowing I have led you the whole time."
Quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
"What good does it do to speak in tongues on Sunday if you have been using your tongue during the week to curse and gossip?"
"The only time you can really say that 'Christ is all I need,' is when Christ is all you have."
"The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete."
"Why do we expect to be better treated in this world than Jesus was?"
"Today's church wants to be raptured from responsibility."
"Testimonies are wonderful. But, so often our lives don't fit our testimonies."
"You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict."
"When there is something in the Bible churches don't like, they call it legalism."
"Any method of evangelism will work if God is in it!"
"If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified."
Making the Difference
As we enter this New Year will we start it off right? On December 31st many people will celebrate the incoming New Year by indulging in substances that can cause them to temporarily escape from reality, and possibly make them miss the New Year altogether. The good news is that the best way to start new is to take an assessment of those areas in our lives that are not right, and then make a sober decision to seek the Lord about the necessary changes.
2Ch 15:15 (KJV) "And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about."
Let's not make mere resolutions, but rather return in obedience unto the oaths that we have made unto the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, more than ever, is the time to return unto the Lord with all that is within us, and to set our desires upon Him and His Kingdom. If we seek Him with all of our heart we will find Him, and there is no greater joy to be had than that which is found in the presence of the Lord. We must realize what a difference we truly make. The way that we live our lives has a ripple effect that goes far beyond what we can see with our natural eyes. So let us not be entangled with the things of this world, but rather be totally consumed with the will and the purposes of our Lord.
Deu 15:5-6 (KJV) "Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. (6) For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee."
Each of us personally constitutes what our country is made of. If we are selling out to materialism, or digging ourselves an inescapable hole in debt, or participating in sinful ventures and practices, we will suffer the same judgment as those who do not claim to know and serve Jesus Christ. For many years our country has claimed to be a Christian nation, but now the United States of America is experiencing the consequences for her insatiable greed, lusts, and the pursuit of other gods. Despite natural catastrophes and warnings from the Lord, this country, which once declared her dependence upon the Lord God Almighty, now appears to be tattered and beaten down. We are in debt to multiple nations. We are unwilling to acknowledge and repent for the sinful abominations that we condone. We are unable to stop our downhill plunge of greed and selfishness, and yet all the while still expecting God to bless us as we ride the coattails of our forefathers, who lived and died for the freedom to worship God and walk in His blessings.
Gen 6:5-8 (KJV) "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. (6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (7) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. (8) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD."
As Christians, we must not live after the fashion of the world around us. We must, instead, live as true Christian examples, just as Noah did, believing God and making the difference. Only as the members of His body increasingly demonstrate the wisdom of acknowledging and submitting to Christ's kinship can America triumphantly stand out among the nations.

Fear and Loathing at the Costa Rica-Panama Border
I got on the road this morning around 6:00 AM gunning for a 400 mile day. I managed to cover about 60 miles before I stopped for breakfast. It was looking good. Unfortunately, I was super depressed about having to blast through Costa Rica. I have a friend in San Jose who I didn't get to visit, and another friend who had commissioned me to go hunt down some dude who had obsconded with $100k of his money. I could tell from the road that Costa Rica had a little more money than the other places I had already visited.
I kept passing great beaches and finally I had to stop and just get one picture.
I had a little trouble getting the bike out of the sand afterwards with my significantly worn down Distanzias, but it was worth it.
Beautiful roads for most of the way through Costa Rica; it got a little rough when the coast highway linked up with the Pan American, but all in all, some of the best roads for me so far.
I got to the border and breezed through the Costa Rican side. I was expecting a similar crossing into Panama; unfortunately, when I pulled up to Imigration, I was met with this:
Eight million people crossing the border in front of me to get cheap christmas gifts in Panama! Some of the officials told me it would take nearly four hours to cross! Aye aye aye!
Luckily there were some fellow gringos in line who offered to watch my bike and save a spot for me while I took care of the Aduana (customs) process for the bike.
Still, it took nearly three hours of waiting in line to get my imigration stamp! Second worst border yet, behind the Mexico-Guatemala crossing. I met a family from Quebec who outfitted a short bus, then took it to Alaska, then all the way down to Costa Rica! They were trying to go all the to Ushuaia, however, the Darien crossing would have cost them $3,000, so they decided to just to head back to Canada. Check out their bus:
Now that's the way to travel! I considered hiring them to be my sag wagon. This is Simon, the dad:
He and I had a great time trying to figure out the whole vehicle import process. This guy is a stud. He's taking his wife, two kids, and both grandmothers on this massive voyage through Indian Country. Imagine having him as your dad.
After I finally got all of the paperwork finished, I had to manuever my bike out of this mess:
Simon, his family, and his little bus were still stuck behind a semi when I left. Even after finishing all of the paperwork and waiting in line for imigration, he was still getting screwed by Panama!
After that prolonged nightmere, I got into Panama. So far, Panama seems even better than Costa Rica for road quatlity. Plus, I saw the golden arches, which is always a sign of an advanced civilization:
I realized that my 400 mile day wasn't going to happen, so I pushed a ways into the country and started looking for a Hotel. I found a place called Paradise Inn near Las Lajas. It's a little pricy ($30) compared with what I'm used too; however, I've got my own Cabana with A/C and hot water and a decent swimming pool.
I'm spent. I've been travelling hard every day and dealing with some really crappy borders. I'm also still exhausted from dealing with the wreck and still recovering from being sick. I covered around 286 miles today and did a three hour border crossing. I only have to make it to Panama City tomorrow, so I think I may sleep in. As I'm typing this I'm being kept company by an intersting character:
I may try and kidnap him and take him with me as my mascot tomorrow!

HP Announces Pre 2 with webOS 2.0 for Verizon Wireless

Replying to: DOA by glinc
Re: DOA
I gotta agree with you there... Reading the specs on the phone is just kinda sad. Im sure the phone will be fine, but why buy this when you can get a more powerful phone for the same price. Hell, by the description it doesn't really change much from the original. Feels like HP is just rushing another phone out. I feel like this one will be like the BB Torch. Fully capable but not impressive enough.

My soft voice will ease you into that deep restful place where nothing but caressing sound exists.

America's young adults keep optimism in grasp

American optimism is a trait that looms large in the nation's history and imagination. To find it these days, talk to an immigrant, the child of one or, failing that, a young person of any background. Continue Reading

Adobe confirms Apple will not use their DRM
February 18, 2010 | 10:20 am
By Paul Biba
Computerworld is reporting that Apple is not using Adobe DRM, but will use FairPlay.
"Apple has not licensed Adobe Content Server for their iBook store," Nick Bogaty, senior business development manager at Adobe, told Computerworld. "They appear to be doing something else. … But Apple's plan to use FairPlay instead of Adobe's flavor of copy protection will lock in customers to Apple's ecosystem, says Bogaty, as iPad owners will only be able to buy from Apple's iBook store, and not be able to transfer their purchases to other devices. With iBook, there's no freedom of choice," he said. "
The article goes on to say:
Opponents of copy protection for e-books decry Apple's use of FairPlay. "[FairPlay] is another in a varied number of DRM schemes that will ultimately confuse the consumer and harm e-book adoption," said Paul Biba, editor of the e-book blog TeleRead.
Adobe's Bogaty said that, while Flash will not be enabled on the iPad, users of the iPad should be able to read ebooks that will contain Flash video. They will just see a static image instead of the video and the text will remain unaffected.

Morning Links: Typeface Mimics Dyslexia. Why Apple Might Become a Bank
Morning Links: Apple Receives Helen Keller Award. 1990s Guide to the Web
Aren't Adobe being a bit hypocritical here and ultimately shooting themselves in the foot?
You have Adobe DRM used on the Nook and the Sony yet making it work seamlessly between these devices is far from simple
There shouldn't be any surprise here.
When they need to use DRM (their choice: apps in the AppStore; not their choice: iTunes media (music, video, etc.)) – Apple has always used their own version. I can't think of any time that they've used someone else's.
Hopefully, many different ebook reader apps will be available for the iPad so we will have our choice of DRM's: eReader, Adobe, FairPlay, Kindle … choose your app and attendant ebookstore and get a new flavor of DRM.
I am hoping that all ebook app's will let me download and read non-DRM'd, legal ebooks too preferably in epub format.
The real villain here is proprietary DRM. Adobe is basically whining and saying, 'But we want to monopolize ebook DRM, and Apple is competing with us!'
After the 'industry standard' epub, it seems we now need an 'industry standard' DRM scheme, one that is open and free of licensing, and adopted by all devices.
Or maybe the publishing industry could just decide to catch up to the music industry now, rather than 3 years hence, and drop its insistence on DRM altogether? *sigh*
Apple of course is saying (in the LA Times piece, I think, that first announced that Apple would use FairPlay) that publishers don't have to use DRM on their books at the iBookstore.
– asotir
The only road to DRM-free content is if DRM becomes more trouble than it is worth for everybody. (Especially publishers.) As long as DRM only inconveniences users we'll be stuck with it.
A DRM monoculture would minimize the inconvenience, so what we need is *more* e-babel, not less.
Kudos to Apple for not rolling over and playing dead for Adobe like B&N did.

How to prevent employees from stealing from you
According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiner's 2012 Report to the Nation, the typical business loses 5 percent of its revenue to fraud each year.
The median loss is $140,000, with each fraud lasting an average of 18 months before detection. Even worse, most frauds are committed by "loyal" employees. While all businesses are at risk, small businesses are especially vulnerable to fraud and abuse. For small businesses, financial reporting systems often are unsophisticated or even nonexistent. Internal controls often rely solely on trust. So once an employee identifies ways to circumvent the system to their advantage, the company is ill-prepared to detect the loss.
Given the risk and the relative ease with which adequate controls can be implemented, small businesses need to take care to protect their assets. There are a number of relatively easy ways in which a business owner can use financial reporting systems and some simple internal controls to guard against employee fraud and abuse.
Accurate, periodic financial reporting provides a measure of how the business is performing, but comparing actual results to a budget may highlight discrepancies soon after the fraud occurs. Checks and balances over critical areas such as disbursements, receipt and payroll provide more assurance that all transactions are authorized.
Business owners need to be aware of how fraud and abuse can occur within their organization. Once they understand the risk they are facing, they are in a much better position to design, implement and monitor controls to ensure that all employees are doing the right thing.

Change tables, diaper bags & more to take the "ick" out of change time. Diapering can be easy & simple with the right products.
Creating a permanent changing station as well as having a simple and portable way to transport diapering supplies is a must for new parents & old pros alike. Newborns and small infants go through a large quantity of diapers, so being as prepared as possible with a convenient and easy to use system in place is the best way to get through the repetitive diaper changes. As babies become toddlers and begin to move around, new challenges present themselves, even as the frequency of changes reduces. We can explain all the options for change tables & diaper bags and how they can work for you to make changing a breeze.
Change Tables
A change table can be a convenient addition to a nursery for a few reasons. First, it gives you a central change area where you can store supplies you'll need, and second, a properly sized change table can save your back from undue stooping or stretching. When you really think about it, for the first few years of your baby's life you'll be spending a lot of time changing diapers! Keeping the task as easy and comfortable as possible is a good idea.
Your primary concern should be in finding a sturdy change table that is the right height for both parents. The change table should be rugged and solid, and able to hold a wiggly baby without movement. Most change tables come with a guardrail to help with safety concerns, but this alone is not a guard against injury. A baby should never be left unattended at any time on a change table.
In terms of features, most change tables come with a vinyl or easily-wiped-clean changing pad that sits on the table to make it comfortable for baby. The pad can be flat or contoured to help prevent the baby from rolling, but all pads should have a security strap that buckles your baby in place. Remember; always use the security strap to help keep your little bundle safe!
Another feature to look for is storage, and there's a wide variety of change tables with open shelving, drawers and cupboard-style storage on the market. You should also consider the style and space you envision for your change table. Today, there are more options than ever for space-saving and multi-purpose pieces, so choose wisely! For example, Sears carries high-low tables that act as both a dresser for clothing and a change table on top, as well as open-shelving change tables that can convert to a bookcase after your baby is toilet trained. You can also purchase a change table that is part of a set and matches other pieces in the room, like the crib or dresser.
When all is said and done, you should choose a change table that suits your budget, your space and most importantly, your needs. Happy shopping!
Diaper Bags
If you're thinking about a specific place to do diaper duty with your little one, you'll quickly realize that having all of the supplies you need while on the go will be essential. That calls for a diaper bag that will be roomy and convenient enough to meet all of your needs. There are just a few things to consider when looking for a diaper bag.
You should look for one with the space that you need. They come in a variety of sizes, but the bigger the better! If you're a first-time parent, you'll be surprised at how much you'll have to bring even for a short outing. And if you have already been through the baby stage with another child, you know that your needed supplies will increase with the addition of another one! Go for designs with lots of pockets and compartments so that small items are easy to find on the go. Also, look for a style that you can carry the way that you want. Nowadays, messenger style bags that cross your body and leave both of your hands free are popular, but standard shoulder straps are also a good choice.
Finally, when it comes to colours and styles, the sky's the limit! You can often find diaper bags to match your strollers or car seats, or go with something completely different to suit your tastes. Sears has a great selection to choose from, so check them out!

Archive for the 'Chevrolet 150' tag
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1955 Chevrolet 150 custom
If this 1955 Chevrolet 150 for sale on Hemmings.com looks like it was customized in the early 1960s or so – what with the silver scallops, the hood full o' louvers, the spots, the lakes pipes, the chrome steelies and the six-carb intake on a period small-block V-8 – that was exactly the builder's intent. And while customizing always boils down to the customizer's own tastes, the quality of this build and the attention to detail should give it rather widespread appeal. From the seller's description:
Car received a rotisserie restoration with thousands of hours spent to make this a one of a kind custom. With high quality components abound and custom touches every where you look. This is a machine for someone who wants a truly special car. This car has one many National awards, including Goodguys Custom of the Year Finalist. This 1955 Chevy has more than 2,000 hours of labor poured into it with painstaking attention to detail, the result is a "California Custom" which looks straight out of the late 50's early 60's. Now for the facts on the car itself. 283 small block Chevy topped off with a 6X2 Offenhauser polished intake from Vintage Speed, finned aluminum valve covers. Cooling is supplied by a Tough Stuff aluminum high flow water pump with Billet Specialties pulleys, and a Griffin large core polished aluminum radiator, an aluminum 110 amp one wire alternator and a MSD ignition system, angle plug block hugger headers, mated into a mandrel bent 2.5 inch exhaust system with Thrush glass pack mufflers that give the engine that great 50's sound. The 283 is mated to a brand new Turbo 350 three-speed automatic transmission from B&M, has an external aluminum finned trans cooler, car has a 605 power steering gearbox with Mike MCGaughys 2 inch dropped spindles and dropped coil springs and power disc brakes, this makes it effortless for turning and stopping. Front suspension is all new with polyurethane bushings and new upper and lower ball joints. Has an original 55 Chevy rear end. Rear suspension is a new 5 leaf 3 inch drop leaf spring setup, with all new bushing and shackle kit, with 3 inch lowering blocks which gives this car and incredible look and stance. Grille is a handmade custom polished stainless steel tube assembly….absolutely a one of a kind! Every piece of chrome on this car is brand new and shines like a diamond! Another cool feature on the car are the dual fender mounted spot lights and the long chrome lake pipes, definitely a nice custom touch. All weather strip, seals, whiskers, grommets, fasteners and clips are brand new. The 55 rolls on 15 inch Coker tires mated to 15X5 front and 15X7 rear Wheel Vintique wheels. From every angle this 55 just pops!! The custom interior in this 55 is a classic and tasteful, yet infused with enough custom touches to set it apart from the crowd. The dash board is a stock 55 dash with a custom insert. All gauges are Auto Meter complete with tack which are installed in the chrome cups with a hand made aluminum bracket. All new wiring harness and an Ididit chrome tilt steering column and a Lokar shifter and pedals. The white tuck and roll interior is tasteful and attractive, nicely done by United Auto Trim of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1956 Chevrolet 150 gasser
As the gasser trend gained traction over the last decade or so, we saw more and more cars converted to straight front axles and nosebleed stances, including many that wouldn't have made sense as gassers or were built long after the original gasser era had passed. Not so with this 1956 Chevrolet 150 sedan delivery for sale on Hemmings.com, a car that the seller claims is an original 1960s era gasser, a claim that the weathered lettering on its flanks seems to support. From the seller's description:
ran 8:80 in 8th mile, Olds rear end, 513 spool, 57 Chevy truck front axle, 301 cu in Camaro 5-speed, fiberglass tilt front end, aluminum interior, very driveable

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1955 Chevrolet 150 Handyman
Up for a project? We've seen a few tri-five Chevrolets in project status on the Hemmings.com classifieds recently, but this 1955 Chevrolet 150 Handyman station wagon caught our eye, largely because it's about the farthest one could get from the top-of-the-line V-8 Bel Air convertibles. From the seller's description:
This beautiful ride is waiting for just the right garage to complete its transformation. The photos range from the day I brought her home through the most recent progress made. I have complete original parts. Much body work completed. Also have comprehensive vehicle manuals. Clear title! Simply don't have resources to realize its full potential!

What's the Difference Between a Search Engine and a Directory?
The Internet has forever changed the way people find information, but if you are only using search engines (such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo!), you may be missing out on much of what's out there.
Search engines rely on automated processes (sometimes called "spiders") to crawl through the billions of pages of information on the web and categorize these according to content and relevance. When a user types a search term into the search box, the search engines attempt to deliver meaningful results. The problem is that those results are only as good as the search engine's algorithm which allows it to understand what a website is all about, and the website owner's ability to optimize his website for its content.
Enter online directories. A directory is a human-edited compilation of websites, typically organized by category, and often further organized by geographic region. The largest of these is the Open Directory Project (ODP) located at http://www.dmoz.org/.
To get listed in the ODP, a website owner must submit his website to a human editor who reviews the site, considers the category to which it was submitted, and ultimately either approves or disapproves the listing. For example, to get an alphabetical listing of full-service advertising agencies, you could go here on the ODP:
You would have a hard time finding information like that on a search engine!
By adding online directories to your arsenal of tools, you will be better equipped to find all that the Internet has to offer.

Angie Merriken
Before teaching yoga, Angie worked as a middle school science teacher, outdoor educator, and even tracked elk in Jackson Hole and worked on historic boats in Chesapeake Bay. She started practicing yoga in 2001 as a way to alleviate some sleep and back issues and soon realized yoga's benefits overall- uplifting in mind, body, and soul. Angie completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Pam Schulte of Just Practice Yoga in 2008 and has additional training in prenatal and kids yoga. Her open level classes are vinyasa (flow) based with some restorative aspects, and her prenatal classes are slower paced and gentle. She loves witnessing students have that "aha" moment when practicing and encourages them to realize that anyone can do yoga anywhere. When Angie isn't teaching and working toward her second Bachelor's degree (this time in nursing), you'll find her spending time in nature with her husband, Will, children, Quilla and Rolli, and dog, Walker and fitting in some running and reading.

Illuminati Snowboards founder Lance Pitman has said in an interview with Planet Jackson Hole that the 2008/09 season will be the company's last. The economy may have something to do with it but from the sound of it, it seems like Pitman is going on to some pretty gnarly things; psychological transformation, Holotropic breathing and transformational coaching being some of them. Go here for the great interview. A last look at the still available 2008 line after the jump. Via Transworld Business.

I think it was a Nick Diaz that wasn't even considering fighting again and only a title fight was really an option in his mind.
He's saying " hey dana, dont even talk to me unless its for the strap". He may be perfectly happy not fighting at all ever again. In that case i say good on him.
I don't know why but all of Nicks crazy decisions and statements are fully understandable by me. Not that I agree with them, but I can see where he's coming from.
