Mike Gundy and Brandon Weeden
March 27, 2014
STILLWATER – Dressed in full pads, the Oklahoma State football team held its sixth practice of spring ball Thursday at the Sherman E. Smith Training Facility. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Brandon Weeden, who started for Oklahoma State during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, took in the practice from the sidelines. After the approximately two and a half hour-long session, Weeden and head coach Mike Gundy shared their thoughts:
Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Brandon Weeden
On what brought him to Stillwater:
"It's been a while. I hadn't been up here in a while. I had some friends in town who wanted to get out and play a little golf and I figured, 'While I'm up here I might as well come watch them practice.' It's been kind of an unfortunate deal I haven't been able to get up with my schedule. I wanted to see this indoor and see how things were going."
On the Sherman E. Smith Training Facility:
"This is first class. I can't imagine much being any better than this around the country. This is a first-class facility, everything about it. It's obviously everything we need and we've needed it for a while. We're fortunate to have a place this nice."
On his observations from practice:
"Very good, talented team. I think there's a lot of young guys that show a lot of promise; some names that I'm becoming pretty familiar with, some guys that may be new to the program, but I think are going to be guys we're going to rely on for the years to come. You've got guys like J.W. that have been around here for a little while. You can just watch him practice and tell he's a leader on offense and does things the right way. So, overall, good. I think Coach Gundy's got them going the right direction."
On how it sounds to say he's a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys:
"It sounds really good. I like it a lot. I haven't heard that sentence yet, but I think it's exciting. It's a dream come true to be able to play down in Dallas and I'm excited about what's in store."
On his emotions when he found out he was going to Dallas:
"Extremely excited. I was ready for a change of scenery. I was ready for being in an atmosphere where it's a well-run organization that's going to compete every Sunday. Kind of a fresh start for me and I think for myself and the Browns both mutually agreed that was going to be best for both sides and everything went great from there. I respect everything Ray Farmer did there with me and the conversation we had. Now that I'm in a new spot, now I'm excited about what's ahead."
On playing for the New Yankees organization and the Dallas Cowboys:
"There's a lot of people that absolutely love them and there's a lot of people across the country that – that's the thing about the Cowboys and Yankees; it's a nation-wide thing. I think people either love them or hate them. It doesn't bother me one bit. Two great franchises, two first-class franchises and I'm just honored to be a part of both of them."
On Mike Gundy preparing players for the next level:
"I think that's one thing I've always given Coach Gundy a lot of credit about. He always tries to prepare guys for life after football in the professional ranks or a professional out in the business world or whatever it may be. He expects you to be on time, do things the right way, take care of your stuff off the field and then when you show up, be prepared and practice hard. I think the way he runs this organization, this program, again, it's like a business. He doesn't tolerate guys being late. He doesn't tolerate guys not trying hard and those types of things, and I think that's going to benefit these guys if they get a chance to play at the next level or when they get out in the real world."
On his message to Oklahoma State fans:
"I miss you guys. I do. I love being back in Oklahoma and just being, if I'm in the city or wherever, I love just walking down the mall and seeing people wearing Oklahoma State shirts and hats and stuff. It's a family. It truly is, and I think once you're gone and you're away from it for a little while, you kind of forget that and kind of take it for granted, but when you're here, Oklahoma State fans have been nothing short of remarkable. I miss you and look forward to being around here for the future."
Oklahoma State Coach Mike Gundy
On Daxx Garman:
"He's an accurate thrower and he's starting to understand the game. He works hard at it and he spins the ball really nice. The one thing that's happened to him is he's not really played competitively for a number of years – I think three or four years. Now that it's kind of his turn, he's starting to get back into the role and understanding. He's out there getting action and I see kind of a little bit of a gleam in his eye."
On if the defensive line can be a strength for the defense:
"I think so. They're a mature group. I think we only have two or three returning starters on defense, but we have a number of guys at that position that have played in games. When that happens, for the most part, we consider them returning starters."
On the defensive ends:
"Vili has played some at end and moved down some based on the package we're using, but Sam Wren and Trace Clark – those guys are really showing up because they're experienced players. They've got to make plays for us, and I think they will because they have played in games."
On having former players like Brandon Weeden return to practice:
"When we started here years ago we said that at some point, in order for Oklahoma State to be successful in the long run, that we have to develop and build tradition. You start to build tradition by winning. Then when you start to win you bring good players in and you take good care of them. Over a four-, five-, six-year period they'll start to come back. Then that cycle starts, where it takes a long time. I'd used the example before – there's really no fast forward button in developing tradition, and that's tradition when players come back. We've had a number of guys show up, but here's a guy that just signed with the Cowboys and is going to take time out of his day to drive up and be around the team and watch the quarterbacks. It means a lot to us and that's what has to happen in order for us to continue to have success."
On Weeden being a Dallas Cowboy:
"I think it's great for him. You never know what's going on in somebody else's program, but it's just never worked out for him up there for whatever reason. There were times where I thought there was a lot of pressure on him, then there were times where they weren't as successful throwing the ball, but I did see him sit in the pocket and make some good throws. I think now with the Cowboys, what he brings to the table and what they have, I think is great for his future."

With a portion of going towards keeping me in supplies for the whole selling biz and a portion kept for family needs, naturally a little needs to be used for my own interest. So here's a little collection of fabric that is all mine. It's from MoMo's new range 'It's a Hoot' and I love it!
It's so sweet. I can't wait till I can turn it into a quilt, which will probably be for my bed or the spare bed. I purchased this lot from Quilthome during a 20% off sale recently. Unfortunately I'm so busy at the mo, that I can't see myself beginning this project until close to Autumn. But quilting is more fun in cooler months. In the meantime it's folded neatly and displayed on my sewing table. Every now and then I bring it down and admire it's loveliness!

VJN Leaders Summit // Chicago // Nov 2013
Vineyard Justice Network
Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 9:00 AM - Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 9:30 PM (CST)
VJN Leaders Summit:
Does your church already work to fight human trafficking, to end poverty, or engage with creation care? Or your church is engaged with immigration reform, foster/orphan care, school partnerships, housing rights, or food pantries? Please join us for a historic, first gathering of Vineyard pastors, leaders, and seasoned experts to help steer the course of the new Vineyard Justice Network.
Why do we need a Vineyard Justice Network?
Vineyard Justice Network (VJN) does not exist to promote a singular ministry, nor are we trying to start a non-profit for Vineyard USA. Instead, we're focusing on bringing together our Vineyard church pastors and leaders who are already tackling one of the three targeted areas of structural, systemic injustice: human trafficking, poverty, and the environment.

10 Oscar-Worthy Comedy Performances the Academy Ignored
"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." Unfortunately the Academy doesn't always see it that way. Here are the 10 most brilliant performances that should've been given Oscar gold, but were not because of a long held (and slowly dwindling) bias against the ability to make people laugh.
Rank Name
- Tip: Navigate with your { left and right } arrow keys1
Bill Murray - Groundhog DayBill Murray is one of the greatest comedic performers of all-time and his performance in "Groundhog Day" is arguably his best. This is a comedic performance of the highest caliber with Murray at his acerbic best, but what really sells the performance is the roller coaster of an emotional journey that the performer takes us through. Not only does Murray deliver consistent laughs in whatever state his character is in (irritation, ego-mania, depression, selflessness), but he also pulls at your heart strings because underneath the laughs we see a real human being in a real struggle with heavy themes of existentialism, mortality, suicide, God complexes and proper communication in a romantic relationship, all on his absurd course to genuine enlightenment.
Had he been nominated for Best Actor in 1994 he would have competed against the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis, Laurence Fishburne, Anthony Hopkins, Liam Neeson and Tom Hanks (who won for his first prominent dramatic role as a lovable lawyer dying of AIDS in Philadelphia), so even if Murray had been nominated he probably wouldn't have stood a chance.
Ironically, Murray beat Tom Hanks for the lead in Groundhog Day. Murray has been nominated once since: for his perfect, subtle turn in Lost in Translation. And despite being considered a front runner, lost to Sean Penn... another comedic actor turned deadly serious.l< << PREV 1 of 10 NEXT >>

Shoulder Joint Protection
How to protect ball and socket joints from paint rub
(by Darththomas) Update Tutorial
Hey all, back with another tutorial that I hope you'll find useful. This time I'm gonna show you how I tackle the age old problem of shoulder paint rub, so without further ado, I'm gonna explain the first picture which is what you will need.
2.Brush on superglue
3.Standard superglue
4.Rotary tool bits
5.Dremmel or rotary tool
6.Your subject
7.Screwdrivers or similar objects
8.Pliers or clamp to hold your pieces while heating them
9.Craft Knife
10.Paint brushes
Also the obvious stuff such as water (to wash your brushes)and newspaper (to protect your work area).
Some parts of this tutorial can be a bit tricky to get right so if you're unsure I recommend practicing on some junk figures first.
I should also mention that not all shoulder balls are the same, some DC figures have an extra soft plastic ring moulded onto the shoulder ball, this soft plastic ring fits inside the hard plastic disc and can make this method pretty difficult. Just check first by heating up the ball and prying the two halves apart slightly using a blunt object.
After all this and a complete paint job I seal my customs with Games Workshop Satin purity seal or Vallejo Satin Purity seal, there are other brands but these are the only ones i've used. As stated above this will get rid of the shine caused by the superglue.
I hope you found this tutorial useful, any questions just leave a comment and i'll do my best to answer them.
DisclaimerMake sure you have read the disclaimer before attempting anything mentioned in the tutorial.

Jenelle Evans Breaks Up With Courtland Rogers: "You Def Aren't Touching My Body Tonight"
The time has come to cry all over your computer screen. Yes, it looks like Teen Mom 2's Jenelle Evans and her boyfriend, Courtland Rogers, are dunzo — just one week after Courty gifted Jenelle with a $3k diamond ring!
The details of Courtland and Jenelle's split are somewhat murky, but it all started when Jenelley tweeted, "You DEF arent touching my body tonight, not even the touch of my skin tonight or possibility forever...."
Um, yikes. No body-touching? Things must be serious. Jenelle followed up her tweet with "Thanks everyone is for caring. I love him SO much but idk about this one. @courtyb11."
Meanwhile, Courtland took it to Twitter to write the following melancholy musing: "It takes 1 second to say hello....but it takes forever to say goodbye !!! think about it......to all my followers...thanks for your support."
Unfortunately, Jenelle has remained pretty quiet about her apparent breakup with Courtland, and it's all because her cell phone was smashed to pieces — hopefully not during an argument! Check back in with Wetpaint Entertainment for the latest news about this hot couple's breakup, and make sure to keep Jenelle in your thoughts!

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called off his agitation. Here are the highlights of the day:
7.45 pm: Speaking to the crowd, Kejriwal said the decision to send the concerned policemen on leave while the inquiry is conducted is a victory for the people. "Every time a crime happened and the dire security situation came out in the open, the last government hid behind the excuse that it had no control over the police force. We will not let that happen. Delhi police has to answer to the city's residents and elected representatives," the CM said. He also criticised the police for engaging in lathi-charge and sought apology from the all the inconvenienced commuters as some metro stations were closed due to the protest.
7.30 pm: Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government has called off its protest in the national capital after Lt-Governor Najeeb Jung offers to send SHO concerned on leave.

Although The Otter no longer offers this service, we are still popular with diners and drinkers throughout Derbyshire and Leicestershire for our beautiful setting and welcoming atmosphere.

Our black and white timbered riverside inn offers the contrasting delights of peaceful canalside and riverside walks and Donington Park motor racing circuit a few miles away. Local beauty spots include the Jacobean Thrumpton Hall

Refractory Mix Cracking
Hi Can Anyone Tell Me Why ? The Refactory Sila Mix Im Using In Perth W.A
Is Cracking, Im Weting The Bricks And The Mix Im Making maybe A Little to moist
Cheers Pat
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Did you use the premixed refractory mortar? Im building a small scale prototype(cant afford the real one yet, but want to practice with the materials), and here in Salt Lake the premixed product is much easier to get ahold of. It comes mixed VERY wet, and from my experience, wet cements are more likely to crack. More water in the mix means more volume, and when the mix dries(even though it is a chemical reaction, not just drying), water is forced out of the cement, and this means a loss of volume. this causes shrinking.
I think. Anyone more experienced here wana back me up?
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Cheers for your input!
I,m not using a premix with water, rather a dry - premix. But what I've since learned in the forums , The're suggesting not to use an air-dry, mortar, for exactly the reasons I'm encountering !
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
All refractory mortars I know of will shrink somewhat. If you are spanning a joint of more than 1/4 inch or so expect cracks. If you want to span a larger joint - extend the mortar with a sharp sand (mortar sand or silica sand). For 1/2 inch span, go with a 1 to 1 ratio, 1 inch span try a 3 sand to 1 mortar mix ratio. If you have tapered joints, try having two mortars - "neat" for the tight part and "extended" for the wider part.
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Cheers for the info Neil, ended up going with the fireclay , lime,sand and cement mix recomended by Forno Bravo, and now have completed the oven. Now been sitting for two weeks and about to start firing. Will post photo's from start to finish in the next week.
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Hi Mark here from NSW Australia. I hope this is a suitable place to ask this question but...
I've gotten hold of some high temperature raku clay and intend to mix it with lime and sand for a dome mortar - what do you guys reckon??
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Where did you find fire clay in Perth? And did it hold up OK once fired?
I'm in the process of finding materials at the moment, so an advice for stuff in Perth greatly appreciated.
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Hi Adrian,
There's a pottery shop in Occonor. I cant remember the name right now, should be in the yellow pages under pottery supplies. There's also a perlite manufactorer in Jandacot. Fireclay has held up well well no problems as yet!If You need further help contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Hi all,
well here we have a thread with a few newbies from this wonderful land of ours. Great to see the Australian increasing the forum numbers.
Welcome to Westozchoppers (Pat), Nokka and Adrian.
The poor mans version for the mortar works fine and I haven't had any problems with mine over the 18 month build time.
Post some pics so we can all share your joys.
Re: Refractory Mix Cracking
Thanks Pat for the pottery shop suggestions. I live North of the river, and found that Stilletano's Home Hardware in Malaga stock Fondue cement. It's $47 for a 20kg bag, but it would probably cost me that much in fuel to drive to Oconner!
They can also get rockwool insulation for about $50 / m2.
I've found the perlite place in the yellow pages and will give them a call to get a price.

Gun Control Talks Continue In Minnesota
The Minnesota Legislature has geared up for another round of talks on gun control bills. But as DFL'er Gene Pelowski of Winona tells us.......it may be all for nothing.
A House committee has its third day of public hearings on gun control bills including a ban on high capacity magazines and prohibiting certain people with mental illness from having guns.

The flow of money slowed to venture capitalists in the third quarter, though venerable player Sequoia Capital raised nearly $1 billion. Solvod/Shutterstock
Big players accounted for more than half of the funds venture capitalists raised to invest in growing companies, and the amount of capital raised decreased in the third quarter.
The picture in the National Venture Capital Association's quarterly look at VC fundraising released Tuesday is one of a contracting industry with big players growing larger and the potential for more difficult fundraising for startups and diminishing returns for investors.
Fifty-three venture capital funds raised $5 billion from limited partners in the third quarter, an increase in the number of firms raising money, but a 17 percent decrease in the amount raised from the second quarter, when 43 firms pulled in $5.9 billion.
"There's a flight to quality, and LPs are looking to the top 20 venture funds," Adam Marcus, managing director of OpenView Venture Partners, told me recently.
That was certainly true in the most recent quarter. The NVCA reports that Sequoia Capital, one of Silicon Valley's most-established firms, raised the largest fund, a $950 million pile of money to invest in growth companies.
Michael Greeley of Flybridge Capital Partners of Boston points out on his blog that 55 percent of the money raised went into the top five funds. He writes:
While I expected more rapid contraction of the industry, the amount of consolidation at the top of the pyramid is dramatic. Arguably this implies a more challenging time for entrepreneurs as there continues to be fewer robust VC franchises available to them.
That's one concern. Marcus said there's also cause for concern that such large funds won't be able to throw off the kind of cash investors associate with the high-risk, high-reward world of venture capital.
"I think it will be challenging for those managers to produce venture-like returns," he said.

Iran and the six world powers have "virtually agreed" on a settlement regarding the Arak heavy water nuclear reactor, according to statements made by an Iranian official on Saturday. Tehran offered to limit the amount of plutonium that Arak can produce.
According to the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Ali
Akbar Saleh, Tehran has put forth proposals to redesign the
reactor so that it will be capable of producing only one-fifth of
the plutonium production capabilities originally intended. Saleh
made the comments on Iran's El-Alam television channel.
"Iran has offered a proposal to...redesign the heart of the Arak facility and these six countries have agreed to that," Saleh said.
Saleh's comments were made as Iran approaches the proposed July 20 deadline, at which point a final deal to cap Iran's nuclear capabilities will be devised, and Iran will become free of the economic sanctions it faces.
On May 13, a week long session will commence in order to produce a draft agreement. Saleh said he hopes Iran's proposed plans will help alleviate any international concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program.
The P5+1 nations – the US, Russia, China, Britain, France, and Germany – and Israel have expressed fear that Iran will use plutonium made at the Arak reactor to make nuclear arms. None of the countries immediately offered a response to the news, according to AP.
Saleh also stated that Iran has completed the dilution of enriched uranium. An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report released earlier this week stated that Iran has been honoring all of its international obligations that were agreed upon in the interim deal.
Enriched uranium being held in the country has now been downgraded from 20 percent to five percent; Tehran has either downgraded or diluted 155 kg of its 209 kg stockpile.
"On April 12, about 103 kilograms of uranium were diluted," Saleh said. "That means it was converted from 20 percent enriched uranium into 5 percent. In general, the case of dilution is closed."
Despite the West's concerns, Iran says that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes such as power generation and medical research. One proposal from the P5+1 nations was that the heavy water reactor be converted into a light water reactor.
Salehi stated that the US allied states "constantly say Iran has to give up its heavy water reactor because it provides a breakout capacity."
"We took this pretext from their hands," he said.
However, Iran argues that the heavy water reactor is necessary for radioisotope production for medical treatments.

Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler
Things in Delilah Hannaford's life have a tendency to fall apart. She used to be a good student, but she can't seem to keep it together anymore. Her "boyfriend" isn't much of a boyfriend. And her mother refuses to discuss the fight that divided their family eight years ago. Falling apart, it seems, is a Hannaford tradition. Over a summer of new friendships, unexpected romance, and moments that test the complex bonds between mothers and daughters, Delilah must face her family's painful past. Can even her most shattered relationships be pieced together again?
Yet again, Sarah Ockler's book doesn't cease to amaze me. Before I started reading Fixing Delilah, I didn't think it could surpass my love of Sarah's previous book; Twenty Boy Summer. I loved Delilah's story. It was realistic, addiction, and just plain magical. Patrick as such an adorable male character. He makes you want to jump in the book and get to know him and listen to his music. I like how Delilah is such a strong main character, she is strong throughout all of the Hannaford drama. Not only is the writing awesome, but when reading, you feel the characters emotions.
Sarah Ockler is, and will always be an author to look out for. Fixing Delilah and Twenty Boy Summer both are about amazing things and are wonderfully addicting. I recommend her books to anyone.

Unlearning Privilege (Emmy Ciabattoni)
After reading the "Roots of the Racial Wealth Divide" article, I was shocked by multiple statistics. The responses of the 40%- 60% Caucasian people who believe that colored people are just as well if not better off employment, health insurance, income, and education wise greatly portrayed public ignorance. Just because colored injustice is occasionally revealed; does not mean it occasionally occurs. After reading the article, I gain a more thorough understanding of the intentions of the media. Stories of oppression are infrequently but evidently revealed to the public in hopes that the people are assured that the 'problem' is insignificant yet being taken care of. I have a hard time understanding how those who believe "I think it's pretty even, but blacks don't want to admit it" and "It's good the bad days have passed and the blacks have come up.. now if something occurs, like a black guy being mistreated at a job or something, you hear about it" (page 5) are able to ignore the criminal facts. Out of the entire article, the responses of these people destabilized me the most. The fact that a black family has less than ten cents for every white family dollar really puts things in perspective. It does not help that while half of white young adults receive a financial head start (of $14,000), and only one out of five colored young adults receive a financial head start. Its evident that oppression is existent considering the ever widening financial gap between white and colored families; the color net worth fell 7% while the white net worth average rose thirty-seven percent. Considering it is more likely for a white with a criminal record than a colored person to be hired, systems definitely favor white people. It seems that the only explainable cause for these statistics is racial injustice and white privilege. I have many privileges that I wasn't aware of before attending this class. I now understand that I am not entitled to attend college, choose the career I am passionate about, and feel safe and secure financially and physically. I do not believe I have particularly earned these privileges because even if I had not worked hard in school, my parents would've helped pay for my college career. I was born into financial security because of my dad's job, and I lived in a safe neighborhood because my parents could afford housing in a friendly location. To some degree, I believe it is fair that I have kept these privileges because I have worked extremely hard in school and do my best to save money for my family by supporting myself as much as possible. I should not give up my privileges just because others do not have them. Loosing advantages and rejecting opportunities will not help anyone. Rather, I should use my privileges to help others gain advantages like my own. During the class activity, I began feeling guilty about my privileges. I feel like I should've accomplished more with all of the advantages I received. There were many times I wanted to skip a plus here and there, but I didn't knowing that would not change the situation. I figured it was time to face the facts and end the ignorance.

MP Alain Aoun arrives at the Parliament in Beirut, Tuesday, April 17, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: Parliament's joint committees will convene Thursday for a second time to discuss a draft election law forwarded by the government, while Christian parties of the March 14 coalition postponed forwarding their own proposal to the legislature.The session will be held one week after the previous session, which hardly tackled the draft law as March 14 MPs argued that the government's proposal was missing Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour's signature. The draft law would divide Lebanon into 13 medium-sized districts based on a proportional representation system.
Also on the session's agenda is a proposal, forwarded by Alain Aoun and Nehmatallah Abi Nasr from Michel Aoun's Change and Reform parliamentary bloc, under which every sect would elect its own MPs under a proportional representation system, adopting the entirety of Lebanon as a single district.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Alain Aoun said the session was unlikely to produce results, adding that March 14 MPs would come up with fresh ways to delay discussions after Mansour signs the proposal.
"They will come up with new excuses in a bid to buy time," he said, arguing that the March 14 coalition wants the elections, set for June, to be held under the current law. The current legislation, a version of the 1960 law, adopts the qada as an electoral district in a winner-takes-all system.
Aoun said his bloc forwarded its proposal after the current law was criticized during meetings of the Bkirki committee for having Christians elect 35 of 64 Christians MPs.
Aoun said his bloc's draft law would allow Christians to elect all their 64 MPs, adding that his bloc would work to convince Hezbollah and Amal to support the proposal, which is opposed by all Muslim parties.
Meanwhile, Christian parties of the March 14 coalition postponed forwarding their draft election law to Parliament to continue discussions and drum up support for it.
"We will not propose a draft law just for the sake of doing it; we want to garner the strongest Christian support possible for it and make sure it is backed by other groups as well so that we don't go back to the 1960 law," a source from the Kataeb (Phalange) Party told The Daily Star.
The source said the draft law would divide Lebanon into 50 small districts based on a winner-takes-all system.
"There are no longer the 61 districts as first proposed by the Lebanese Forces," he said, adding each district would have at least two or three MPs. Under the LF proposal, some districts would have had just one lawmaker.
"Small details have yet to be discussed," said the source, adding that the draft law would ensue that 56 out of 64 Christian MPs are elected by Christians and that the draft law proposed by Aoun's bloc stood no chance of being endorsed by Parliament.
Kataeb MP Sami Gemayel, Batroun MP Butros Harb and LF MP George Adwan had been expected forward the draft law to Parliament Wednesday.
But the draft law has yet to be endorsed by Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt, a prerequisite for receiving the support of the Future Movement of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and vice versa, sources said.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday at his Hazmieh residence, Harb said that the Kataeb party and the LF would make their proposal after negotiations with their allies in the March 14 coalition, "mainly the Future Movement, which already supports a draft law based on small districts."
Harb noted that the March 14 coalition would give negotiations with Jumblatt a chance, saying: "Deliberations are under way with him to agree on a formula that unites us."
"It [the draft law] is comprehensive and includes 100 articles, a voting mechanism, preprinted ballots; it ensures the right of expatriate voting and the means to protect the electoral process by forming an independent committee to oversee the elections," Harb said.
Separately, Aoun said that Maronite Patriarch Beshara Rai might call members of the Bkirki committee for a meeting in a bid to secure an agreement on an election draft law from rival Christian parties. "The patriarch might call us for a meeting, if he does then we will attend," Aoun said.
Rai discussed developments related to the draft law in separate meetings with Gemayel and Aoun Wednesday. Aoun was accompanied by former Minister Youssef Saade, from Suleiman Franjieh's Marada Movement.
The Bkirki committee has been beset by divisions recently. LF leader Samir Geagea has accused the FPM of trying to back out of the Bkirki committee's agreement to give priority to a draft law with small districts under a winner-takes-all system.
Aoun maintains that the committee selected two draft laws.
The first, which was proposed by the Orthodox Gathering, allows each sect to elect its own lawmakers by proportional representation. In the second, Lebanon would be divided into medium-sized districts based on proportional representation.
Speaker Nabih Berri said that any election law should be in line with the Taif Accord and should be passed as soon as possible.
Hezbollah and Amal prefer the adoption of the entirety of Lebanon as a single district under a proportional representation system. But like the Future Movement, the two parties have not forwarded their own proposals.
Sources close to Berri said that the speaker's meeting with former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora Monday could herald an agreement on an election draft law between Hezbollah, Amal and the Future Movement in a bid to avoid Sunni-Shiite strife.
For his part, Siniora said March 14 was "likely to win" the elections, "given changes in Lebanon and the world."
But Siniora said his bloc would not stop extending a hand to Berri or Hezbollah, a party he said is "tense" because of the situation in the region.

Frank Gohlke has been a leading figure in American landscape photography for over thirty years. He has photographed grain silos in Minnesota, the aftermath of a tornado in Texas, the destruction and rebirth of the land after the Mount St. Helens eruption in Washington, and a river's quiet course in Massachusetts. His is a career of deep, unbroken contemplation of the enduring landscape and of our place within it. And for nearly as long as Gohlke has been photographing the landscape, he has been writing about it.
In the spirit of Henri Cartier-Bresson's seminal book, The Mind's Eye, and Robert Adams's Beauty in Photography, Gohlke's writings on photography span from the philosophical to the personal. In interviews, essays, artist statements, and lectures, Gohlke focuses both on his own work and life, and on the works and lives of the photographers around him. Woven throughout is his affection for and loyalty to the landscape around him, and his uncanny ability to convey the richness of his experience to readers—in words just as in images.

Faith in Memphis panel: My favorite preacher
LaSimba Gray, New Sardis MB Church
My favorite preacher is my father, the late Rev. Leo M. Gray Sr. He lived the Word as he preached the Word.
I grew up with seven siblings, and we never needed anything. We never ate a meal without his blessings, and we never went to bed without his presence in the house. No matter how late we stayed out at night, he waited until we got home.
He was a hard worker but knew how to manage money and save money. He made God first in our family. When the streets were not passable on Sunday mornings, my father conducted church services in our living room.
He taught me to hunt and fish, how to grow watermelons in a garden. He bought an old 1951 Ford sedan and had my two brothers and me help him rebuild the engine.
He provided wise counsel during my troubled spots of adolescence. He was always there, and through him I learned the power of ministry through presence.
When it came to announcing my calling to ministry, he led me to the altar and told me what to say: "Tell the church what God has called you to do, son." As I made my announcement, he shouted for joy.
I miss him greatly, but I still benefit from the nuggets of his wisdom: "Every tub has to sit on its own bottom"; "Watch your company; know where they are going before you join in"; and "Do right, son, and good will follow you."
Daddy, I am still trying to be just like you.
Micah Greenstein, Temple Israel
The greatest preacher I have ever known was my father, Rabbi Howard Greenstein, the only rabbi to ever sing in the chorus of the New York Metropolitan Opera.
When a rabbi preaches or sings, the question is not, "How well does he play the role?" but rather, "Does he move my soul?" My father's preaching voice stirred the conscience; his singing voice stirred the soul.
He was even teaching through his preaching 20 days before he died. The title of his final sermon was "When Life Is Worthwhile." My father didn't know these would be his final words, but perhaps God did.
"You don't have to have a particular talent for religion to be a spiritually remarkable person; you only need to be fully human and willing to accept defeat and disappointment. You only need to find the courage to care. In that blessing alone, the courage to care, is the secret of immortality. Forever is the kind of future that can be for all of us. It all depends on what we do here and now."
On October 22, 2006, my dad died in my arms. Beside the bed was an ethical will that ended with these words. The clearest evidence for the presence of God is the light and radiance deep within you, son. Don't ever let that light go out.
I guess my favorite preacher's voice isn't silent in death after all. It still sings, teaches, and inspires me every day.
Shane Stanford, Christ United Methodist Church
I came to know the Lord under the teaching of Dr. Cliff Estes, now an evangelist in Shreveport, La. Unlike my more "teacher-centered model," Dr. Estes had a fiery style but was also one of the best at exegesis. When I went to theology school, my adviser was a scholar in the sermons of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I had grown up in a community that had struggled greatly with race relations and my church was still segregated. I fell in love with the sermons of Dr. King. I realize there were so many other layers to Dr. King in his amazing work, but his role as preacher truly shaped a generation.
Steve Montgomery, Idlewild Presbyterian Church
Barbara Lundblad at Union Theological Serminary in New York and frequent Calvary Lenten preacher, has all the gifts of preaching that I look for: imaginative looks at familiar biblical stories, enabling me to hear them as I have never heard before; solid theological grounding that is enlivening; passionate presentations that demonstrate authenticity; witty, often humorous, but always profound storytelling; and an uncanny ability to speak the truth, all the while being pastoral and prophetic at the same time.
Carol Richardson, First Baptist Church
When I reflect back on the influential preachers in my life, I remember those who "preached" with their kind and compassionate lives. Dr. Robert Smith at Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, Ala., is such a preacher and teacher. He skillfully led me through the basics of preaching as a faltering, older female divinity student with his kind and encouraging words. In the pulpit, he demonstrated before us all the prophetic role of a preacher with his deep, resonant voice and his ability to connect the Gospel story with our own. He lives the words of St. Francis of Assisi: "Preach the Word always. Sometimes use words."
Dany Sinquefield, Faith Baptist Church, Bartlett
My favorite preacher is Dr. Virgil Lovett, a Florida pastor and a man the Lord used to shape my own personal life and ministry. He gave me multiple opportunities to learn the craft of preaching — always encouraging me to sharpen the skills of public speaking integrated with clear Bible teaching. His love for God's Word was contagious. He preached God's Word with a fearless conviction, and he lived what he preached. He knew how to connect the truth with where people live in a relevant and practical way. Most of all, he understood that the hero of the Bible is Jesus, and he made much of Him.
Andy Andrews, St. Mary's Episcopal Church
I appreciate the preacher who can cast the large vision of God's mysterious, benevolent and transformative activity in our complicated 21st-century world. Alan Jones, former dean of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, has this gift. He has a keen social critique, pointing out our missteps and fragility. All the while, he is radically optimistic about the future by always highlighting God's endless love for each of us.
Richard Smith, Germantown United Methodist Church
My favorite preacher, without question, is Dr. Fred Craddock, now 85 and retired from Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He was discouraged from becoming a preacher because he was short, had a soft voice, and didn't "bring the thunder." He once said, "No one wants to listen to pulpit bullies, behaving as though they had walked all around God and taken pictures." Instead, he brought the Bible to life with winsome, honest, down-to-earth stories out of his own personal experiences; all the while serving as an astute theologian and Biblical scholar. He brings you into the story so that you yourself can hear God's voice and word for your personal journey. In the end, his stories lead you closer to God and to your own needed responses.
Carla Meisterman, Balmoral Presbyterian Church
Barbara Brown Taylor has an uncanny ability to weave theology into strands of everyday life with language that ignites your imagination and invites your participation in the mysteries of God. She is a meaning maker. Her books and her sermons inspire, engage and infuse you with a desire to see the world with new eyes. I once asked her how she was able to find so many real-life experiences of God at work. She looked at me as if I was blind to the obvious and said, "They are all around you!"
Bruce Nieli, St. Patrick's Catholic Church
While a high school student in 1963, I chose public speaking as an optional course. When asked by the instructor, Ms. Isabel Ramell, why I was taking her class, I wrote down that I wanted to be a preacher like Bishop Fulton Sheen and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Now, 50 years later, assigned to the Paulist Preaching Apostolate and based in the very neighborhood where Dr. King gave his life, I still find in these two men great models for my ministry.
Nicholas Vieron, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church
Years ago, I used to attend the Calvary Lenten Series often, but I now have "87 reasons," which makes it difficult for me to attend. Kudos to Calvary Episcopal Church for including such a crosscut of speakers, not only those who worship in the Shadow of the Cross or near the Star of David, but also the many other traditions which are now a part of our faith community. I recall several great preachers from the series, each offering words of wisdom and inspiration. But I especially appreciate the remarks by Rabbi Micah Greenstein, so timely and pertinent. It is apparent that the rabbi is appreciated for many other reasons, thus the frequent invitations to participate in Calvary's glorious annual event.
Alex Wellford, Third Church of Christ, Scientist
People often ask me, "You are not a preacher, are you? Why are you on the panel?" Although on occasion, ministers from other denominations have joined the Christian Science Church, the church does not ordain clergy, and services are conducted by a First and Second Reader, elected by each congregation for a specific term. In place of a sermon by an ordained minister at the Sunday service, the readers read a Bible lesson, prepared by the headquarters church in Boston for churches all over the world. The Bible and the denominational textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, are considered as the only preachers.

As of Thursday, January 24, 2013

I don't want to see ice today unless it's in a drink.
Ditto freezing rain, sleet, snow, snow fog -- whatever that is -- and any other frozen precipitation you're thinking of mustering up, Mother Nature.
Depending on which weatherman to whom you listen, we could get anywhere from a little rain to the next Ice Age. And in the newspaper game, wintry weather is a double-edged sword by which I'd just as soon not get cut today. It makes for great stories and photos, but you have to get out in it to get them.
Throw anything at journalists -- fire, flood, famine, snowstorm, World War III -- whatever the calamity, we come to work. I've always told candidates during job interviews, if a meteorite strikes and the world is coming to an end, we will try to put it in the paper. For some reason, I always get the feeling they think I'm kidding about that.
So when it snows and everyone else is sitting at home watching Netflix and drinking hot chocolate, we're taking it up a notch. We're trying to write more stories and take more photos. Everyone else is playing and we're doing more work.
But I don't want to do that today. I'm supposed to be off (he whined in his best imitation of Dante from "Clerks" -- "I'm not even supposed to be here today!")
I want to watch a movie, work on my novel, maybe take a nap. I've done snow and ice. I've slid backward down a steep hill in Lawrenceville. I've spun in a circle in Lilburn. I've driven at night on Ga. 316 when it was so iced over that I was the only guy on the road for a good 10 miles. And I've been on U.S. 29 when it was covered in ice -- and cars.
And by the way: While we love that you're all out having a good time, could you not have your fun on the roads? Driving on ice is hard enough without having to avoid a bunch of "normal-job" people who think it's fun to go sight-seeing in the middle of an ice storm. We have to be out in it. You don't. Stay home. Someone will come to you if you build the biggest snowman or your birdbath freezes in a particulary photo-worthy way.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older and I live 30 miles from work. Maybe it's because I was born in an ice storm. Whatever the reason, I'd just prefer not to get out in it anymore.
But Nate, you're saying, you don't have to get out in it. You already told us you were off today.
Yeah, it doesn't work that way in this business. When news happens, journalists -- real journalists -- go to work. It doesn't matter what the schedule says.
Of course, with modern technology, we editors and designers have the ability to work from home these days, which is pretty cool. But you have to have electricity to do that. Two storms ago, we lost power at my house and burned up all the firewood before dawn. Standing in the garage at 5 a.m., using a hatchet to bust up expensive lumber you were going to turn into a shoe rack and a bookshelf just to keep your family warm is not my idea of a good time. And it does not beat working.
Not from home anyway.
