Colloquium of Catholic High School Leaders
June 24 - 25, 2015
Catholic high school leaders will convene at Boston College June 24 - 25, 2015 to explore a compelling dimension of Catholic education in the United States today, namely the rich continuum of formation that results when graduates of Catholic high schools choose to attend a Catholic college or university.
How might Catholic education at all levels be strengthened by more intentional relationships between Catholic high schools and universities? How might we best communicate the formative experience of Catholic education-intellectual, spiritual and social-with our vital constituencies, including students, faculty, parents and alumni? What is the broader impact of our vision of education - on students and families - in the eight years of high school and college?
Along with your colleagues from other Catholic high schools, conversation partners from Boston College will include Gregory Kalscheur, S.J, Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Jaqueline V. Lerner, Professor in the Counseling, Developmental and Educational Psychology at the Lynch School of Education, Joseph M. O'Keefe, S.J., Director of the Center for Ignatian Spirituality and Professor also at the Lynch School. Also joining us will be Alice Hession, Director of Sponsorship for Xaverian Brothers Sponsored Schools.

The Halliwell worldview is summed up perfectly in "The Decline and Fall of the Movie," the essay that always ended each of his editions. It's the lament of a buff who came of age in the 1930s and '40s, one who never even came to grips with the wide screen, let alone the profanity, extreme violence and other elements that had crept into film by the early 1970s.
Halliwell took the position that, by and large, filmmakers in the latter part of the 20th century either made pretentious rubbish that catered to small, elite audiences, or addle-minded schlock that was intended to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
This isn't to say that he didn't give high ratings to certain films of the '70s and '80s, such "The Towering Inferno," "Taxi Driver," "E.T." or "Gandhi" (three asterisks to each of these), but that overall, his opinions of the output of this era are negative.
The format of each entry is easy to read, beginning with title, a rating from zero to four asterisks, production year, country of origin, running time, studio, color and/or widescreen process, and producer. After the plot summary and review, credits for writing, direction, photography, music and production design are listed, and then the actors. Contributions Halliwell deems particularly noteworthy are denoted by italics.
After perhaps a series of quotes from other critics, Academy Awards and nominations are listed.
As another reviewer noted, you'd do well to adjust the Halliwell scale one asterisk upward by most other critical standards, so that one asterisk is at least two on another critic's scale, two asterisks are equal to three, and so on.
For me, after all the smoke of Halliwell's biases have cleared, a remarkable number of his thousands of reviews are right on the money, especially when the asterisk ratings are adjusted. The reviews are very short, and the critic is sometimes straitjacketed by the need to be so brief.
But also worth noting are the quotes he chooses from other reviews. Sometimes these are in line with his own view; sometimes they are completely opposite. Much of the time, they add to his own conclusions by pointing out issues that he has not otherwise commented on.
His review of one of my personal favorites, "Spartacus," which he gives two asterisks, goes thus: "Long, well-made, downbeat epic with deeper than usual characterization and several bravura sequences."
He then italicizes the contributions of director Stanley Kubrick and cinematographer Russell Metty (the latter won an Oscar). So far, it's hard to see why he wouldn't give the film three asterisks. But then we see that none of the actors' names are italicized. He then lists other quotes. Critic Anne Grayson comments on the film's "lack of imagination." Stanley Kauffman is quoted as calling it "a first-rate circus." Alan Dent says the viewer "comes away feeeling revolted and not at all ennobled."
So somehow, Halliwell is saying the film is very well-assembled as a spectacle, but lacks a dimension that would make it inspiring. I think he's asking too much of the movie, but I don't deny most of what he's saying. Adjust the asterisk rating, and you have a pretty cohesive review.
All in all, "Halliwell's Film and Video Guide" is too terse to be used all by itself, as good as it is. It's best taken as a complement to other guides, such as Leonard Maltin's, and compilations of longer reviews by Pauline Kael, Roger Ebert, Stanley Kauffman and others. For British film criticism every bit as tough as Halliwell's, but more detailed, try the "Time Out Film Guide."

In a computer, a batch job is a program that is assigned to the computer to run without further user interaction.

In a computer, a batch job is a program that is assigned to the computer to run without further user interaction. Examples of batch jobs in a PC are a printing request or an analysis of a Web site log. In larger commercial computers or servers, batch jobs are usually initiated by a system user. Some are defined to run automatically at a certain time.

Port St. Lucie man charged with attempted murder
A Port St. Lucie man was being held without bond at the St. Lucie County Jail on Wednesday after being served with warrants charging him with attempted murder and first-degree arson to a dwelling.
Scott Michael Alexander, 51, who lives in the 2100 block of Southeast Genoa Street, was charged Tuesday, after he was transferred to the St. Lucie jail from the jail in Martin County, where he was being held on DUI-related charges, records show.
On July 21, Alexander threatened to kill a man and set a fire in the carport of that man's home, according to a St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office warrant affidavit.
Alexander also faces an aggravated assault charge Port St. Lucie sheriff's deputies lodged against him May 11 after he allegedly threatened a hotel worker with a knife in a dispute over his bill, records show. He had been released on a $3,750 bond in that case, but that bond has since been revoked, a St. Lucie sheriff's spokesman said.

So what Russian planes do you guys recommend? I am currently tier 7 with the USSR.
Pretty much everything in Russia is artificially buffed. But I like the IL-2. If you play arcade when you get it the Yak 7t is not a very good plane against a skilled player ((Zeros, spits, Corsairs and BF 109s will rip you apart)) but it is a great newb plane if you like KSING. The Yak 7t, il-2 and pe 3 are all good money makers.
Those are my three primary planes haha.
Well your on the right track :P
Should have made this a fan group and not a company :P
ask the admins. They will move it for you then we can easily post media for visitors to see :D

Life is often messy. God makes provision to help us move beyond our messes but often our first instinct is to hide, deny, ignore, or run from them. Yet, it is in the middle of our mess where mercy shows up and offers a safe place to process our struggles, imperfections, doubts and fears. Then, with mercy by our side, we are able to move on to experience the grace & freedom God intended. Once we face our messes, God, with His sweet mercy, can help us to get real, deal & truly MOVE ON!
The program will be led by our Women's Ministries staff and feature a DVD series by Vicki Courtney.

The Jaguar XF is without doubt one of the very important models for the Jaguar Company that has changed ownership from Ford to India's Tata Motors. Three years after the market launch of the Jaguar XF at Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007, the company is planning a facelift version of this car which will be premiered next month at the New York Motor Show.
The best news is that the new facelift version of this car will have a 2.2liter four cylinder turbo diesel engine, this engine is developed by the Ford unit and is also found in the Land Rover Freelander. Considering this car to be a rear wheel drive, a number of changes have been made to this engine as well.
This makeover version of the car includes:
- New front fascia and lights
- Redesigned front grille and reshaped bumper which makes it look more similar to the C-XF Concept car that was originally previewed
- Interior improvements include new tech systems and improved suspension for better ride and handling
Few of these changes include:
- Water cooled turbocharger with low friction pistons
- New injectors and new crankshaft
- New stop-start system
- The engine produces 190HP and around 332lb-ft of torque
- Car provides a mileage of 52.3mpg as claimed by the company
- Emits 149g/km of CO2
- An eight speed automatic gearbox that pushes the car to a max speed 140mph with an acceleration of 62mph in 8.5 seconds
More photos will be soon released with added information about this car.

Too many managers managing away at too many units each doing their own thing.

In essence, dental school taught us how to handle biologic disease, and solve basic biomechanical problems. It also gave us a glimpse at restoring patients with multiple missing teeth (dentures, RPD's and bridgework).
Do we have a greater responsibility as Dentists than to just create a biologically healthy environment, though? Can we go beyond the elimination of periodontal disease, caries, and protecting weak teeth with crowns?

I like the direction the genre has taken and I must thank the developers!!!
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
OP, concerning newer players not experiencing the thrill of an immersive world with a player driven economy, politics, and drama...
I think you really are just looking at the wrong medium. I experience these things daily through a fairly large and active roleplaying community, and it is incredibly immersive, unpredictable, and satisfying. Even a really fantastic sandbox mmo couldn't really compare to written rp with small tabletop elements, because the cost of visual gaming graphics and a "massively multiplayer" customer base, is the limitations required to maintain them.
2012: Overall, it's been a pretty good year for MMORPG's
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
I think its been a fantastic year+
Someone on these forums is always going to be crying that mmos are awful and dead now, because they aren't UO or EQ with high end modern graphics. But I feel that as long as both developers and players are still excited to explore and build upon the genre, then things are not just good, but on a positive trend to become even better.
Any one else feel that MMOs have become too gamey?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
That's what happens when you decide to hunt your mmos in the wild rather than just go to the grocery store.

Most games require payment of somekind to have a superior character. Usually its through time spent in the game, but can also.involve normal cash currency as well.
Are Game Developers Ruining The MMO Experience
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Playing games with a jaded, negative outlook might have something to do with it as well.
Why do you play MMOs at release?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Because I want to play the game. I don't need it to have everything perfect, I just need it to be fun.
Are modern gamers just too impatient?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
I think a large issue would be the growing segments of people approaching games as customers or amatuer game reviewers, rather than simply enjoying them as players. The market audience has aged, gotten jobs, possibly started families, and with that growing maturity and responsibility comes a lot of concern over money. Over getting your dollars worth. Over getting perfect customer service. Over getting things now and make it snappy, I paid for this. Despite the apparent maturituy, adulthood leads to a certain amount of entitlement, especially when someone percieves themself as primarily a customer. I won't say it's entirely incorrect, though definitely an unpleasant attitude, just that playing a game with that sort of mentality means that small issues will bother people like that to the point where an otherwise fun game becomes unplayable.
The growth of review blogs/youtube channels/and forums like these also gives some people a reviewer mentality. As they're playing the game they're actively seeking out negative aspects and then focusing on them so they can inform the world that x is horrible, y is an atrocity, and z is actually kind of fun but not enough to make up for the combined awfulness of x and y.
Neither of these types are going to wait for a game to come into it's own, or stick around long even if a game has a strong start.
Best source for game reviews?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Unbiased in gaming only really matters if everyone had the same preferences and tastes, and they don't. So if you want to research a game, go to youtube. Watch a few first impresisons and Let's Play videos to get an idea of the game and how it plays. See if it's the type of game you'd enjoy. Then download the free trial and try it for yourself. If the game doesn't have a free trial, wait a few months and it will. While playing the game, talk to other players and ask their opinions. I would definitely say ask those in-game as opposed to those on forums, unless you want a lot of fairly jaded opinions and waving of mmo epeen.
I'm different at MMO games.. GW2 HELP!
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
GW2 has several different types of quests ~
Dynamic Events: these tend to involve a lot of killing and guarding, though there's not really a set amount that you, yourself have to do. These events scale to how many people are participating, and usually involve a little bar that trickles up or down as you progress depending on the goal (securing an area, decreasing enemy morale, sometimes they're timed and the goal is simply to survive through it.)
Hearts: heart npcs are karma vendor that you unlock by helping out. These generally require killing, collecting, fixing, interacting. You can choose what to do here, most of the time you won't have to kill a thing, you can mix and match these as you wish. There's not set amount of kill x amount of y, instead you once again get a status bar that fills as you help the npc out. They stack with the dynamic events, so if you have both in one area, its a nice way to kill two birds with one stone.
Personal Story: given your post I think you'll really like your character's personal story. The choices you make about their backstory and personality impact what personal story you play through (if you're an alto-holic this is A+!) As the name suggests, they're very story driven. They don't ask you to kill x, but rather compete objectives and simply survive. These can vary from humorous fluff to potical espoinage, not to mention making life and death decisions that impact your personal piece of the world and the NPCs within it.
After 10 years of MMO gaming I think it is time to hang my hat.
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Quitting mmos isn't a terrible thing, however its better to quit because they're no longer something that belongs in your life. Quitting because you're tired of the same old thing is usually less about the actual games and more about choosing to play them the same way over and over again.
Do you really need quests?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Story quests can be wonderful, but too often there's a lot of white noise busy-work quests that drown them out. Lots of players felt that only killing things to level up was too much grind. So games kept adding more quests to break up the pace of killkillkill and pad the exp for faster leveling. Fortunately I think of it as more of a phase than anything as games are starting to take out the more tedious aspects of questing like quest hubs, and highlighting the better parts (story and rewards)
SWTOR possibly took the latter too far, but it did get peoples positive attention for it. I hear TSW has satisfying, very story-driven questlines. GW2's questing is very optional, and the non-personal story quests insert themselves smoothly into the world as you play. Rift began with quest hubs, but have implemented an alternative via instant adventure (not a cure-all but a great step in the right direction by an already established game)
For myself, quests can be fun, but its the story I create myself for my characters as they explore the world that I really love.
Best Character Customization?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Definitely APB, the customisation starts in the character Creator and just gets more amazing as you progress.
A problem plaguing modern MMOs.
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Maybe put some rp into your play, as that encourages interaction with players. Or if rp isn't your thing (and if it isn't please do stop using the mmorpg semantics argument) just be in chat and put yourself out there. Organize events, offer help,have fun and invite others to join. Sitting back and waiting for the game to force socializing for you wont fix the actual issue, because that kind of attitude means you wont take real advantage of such opprotunities anyway.

FTP Era, time to set it straight.
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Zynga is the facebook game company, which have expanded the casual/social mmo market to a ridiculous degree. There's more people playing farmville on a daily basis than are subbed to WoW. As for Nexon, games like Maplestory and DFO each have over 100m+ registered players. Of course not all are active but just a small portion of that is extremely profitable because there are indeed players who lay down a ton of money for convenience and cosmetic items, not to mention ingame RIGs that are basically gambling, and fully capable of being addictive. A single player using a cash shop can easily be worth 1-5 subscribers.
I'm not trying to say their practices are wonderful, but they do payoff as far as profits go, which is why other games follow suit. I think its really a matter of accessibility rather than quality. Both WoW and successful F2P games are very easy to approach, the former because its become a familiar brand where people know what to expect, the others through lack of required commitment through monthly payments.
Why are ppl comparing TSW to GW2?

Because some people can't accept that others will play both games and so feel the need to pick one or the other. Since mmos are fairly dependant on having a large and active player base, those who support one over the other may feel compelled to convince others to play the one they want to "win."
Its like political campaigns, except people can vote for all the choices instead of just one.
Plus it can be fun and add an extra level of involvement with a game. A lot of people like having factions or teams to get behind, for the sense of competition and to feel connected to something larger.

F2P games are on the rise because they can make more money. You might dismiss them as crappy companies with bad games, but at the end of the day publishers like Zynga and Nexon are making bank via f2p on a global level that makes 10 mill subs a drop in the bucket.

Letter to the New England Compounding Center Requesting Bipartisan Briefing on Fungal Meningitis OutbreakOctober 11, 2012 | Letter
Excerpt: Lawmakers in both chambers of Congress and on both sides of the aisle agree that cybersecurity is of critical importance to America's safety and prosperity in the 21st century. The House of Representatives has already passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) to bring the nation's considerable wealth of public and private sector intelligence to bear on the challenge of securing America's vital communications networks.
Excerpt: The Committee shares the goals of the Commission to ensure the nation's energy infrastructure is protected from physical and cyber threats and we look forward to learning more about the objectives of the OEIS. To read the letter, click here.
Excerpt: The federal government currently supports energy-related technologies, projects, and companies through various forms of federal assistance, including grants, direct loans, loan guarantees, and a range of available tax credits. Federal dollars also are used to advance programmatic activities, such as implementation of the federal energy mandates.
Excerpt: Abound was the fifth stimulus-funded loan guarantee issued under Section 1705 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Just nine months after the closing of a $400 million loan guarantee in December 2010, DOE stopped funding the project.
The bipartisan leadership of the Energy and Commerce Committee and its Communications and Technology Subcommittee today released data submitted by the Federal Communications Commission regarding the Universal Service Fund high-cost and low-income support programs. The data was supplied by the FCC in response to a request by the committee regarding USF support payments.

John Demjanjuk, the Cleveland auto worker convicted as a death camp guard, died in a German nursing home.
Demjanjuk, 91, died Saturday at an old-age home in southern Germany, where he was free while he appealed his conviction last year in the murder of 28,060 people at the Sobibor death camp in Poland, NPR reported.
Demjanjuk, born and raised in Ukraine, was first identified as "Ivan the Terrible," a notoriously sadistic guard at the Treblinka death camp, in the 1970s.
In 1986, U.S. authorities deported him to Israel.
A court there sentenced him to death, but during bhis appeal process, the Israeli prosecution uncovered evidence suggesting that another man who had died in the Soviet Gulag in the 1950s was "Ivan."
The Israeli Supreme Court ordered him released, noting however that substantive evidence emerged during the trial identifying him as a guard at Sobibor.
He returned to Cleveland in 1993, and resisted multiple attempts to strip him of his citizenship and deport him again until U.S. authorities deported him to Germany in 2009.
There he was convicted in May 2010 for his crimes in Sobibor, and was sentence to five years in prison.

Just in time for the holidays, Glee brings joy to the world with the release of Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album Volume 2. The Glee holiday cheer is spread with the cast''s own festive renditions of such Christmas staples as "Little Drummer Boy", "Let It Snow" and "All I Want For Christmas Is You". Especially poignant is the Glee cast''s interpretation of Band Aid''s 1984 hit "Do They Know Its Christmas?," which raised money to benefit famine relief in Ethiopia and sold 1 million copies in its first week. New cast members, Lindsay Pearce, Alex Newell, and Damian McGinty, from the wildly popular show The Glee Project are featured on "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and "Blue Christmas", along with fellow discovery Samuel Larson accompanying the Glee cast on "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". Among the 12 tracks on Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album Volume 2 are two original songs "Extraordinary Merry Christmas" and "Christmas Eve With You."

Tony Bennett's career was revitalized in the 1990s when a whole new generation was exposed to him via his turn on MTV Unplugged. But he spent most of the decade recording albums on which he demonstrated his love for Frank Sinatra (Perfectly Frank), Billie Holiday (Here's to the Ladies), Count Basie (Basie Swings, Bennett Sings), and, on The Playground, children. That he succeeds here--elegantly, as always--is due as much to his classic style as to the way he refuses to sing down to the intended audience. Even his kid-friendly duets with Kermit the Frog, Elmo, and Rosie O'Donnell are handled with dignity, though a few songs--including "My Mom" and "Being Green," with Kermit--are paced so leisurely that some children's attention may wander. They're well made up for with the bouncy, invigorating "Firefly" (also with Kermit), "The Bare Necessities," and the rest of the sing-along encouraging songs. --Randy Silver

I am new to Ubuntu (installed Ubuntu 12.10 desktop on my Mac Mini today from Ubuntu iso – mac mini had blank SSD on it i.e. no OS X at all).
First drama is that Ubuntu installer seems to be setup for DHCP whereas my LAN is all static IP based.
Anyway, Ubuntu installed okay except that it seems to have gone into loopback mode and cannot find the Ethernet adapter on the Mac Mini.
Doing an
ifconfig -a confirms the loopback.
Doing an
lspci reveals the following:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation Netxtreme BCM57766 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 05)
I tried setting
/etc/hosts file to include:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.2 merlot
I wanted to set
/etc/network/interfaces file to have:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
Except that
eth0 doesn't seem to exist as far as Ubuntu is concerned.
192.168.0.1 is my modem/router which connects directly to the Internet.
I wanted to edit
/etc/resolv.conf so that I could specify some DNS name servers (3 in total) that should be used except that the resolv.conf file contained text warning me that the file would be overwritten so don't bother doing anything manually in that file.
Checking 'System Settings > Network' I cannot see wired Ethernet at all. There is, for some reason, a 'Network Proxy' defined. A messagebox appears saying:
The system network services are not compatible with this version.
When I am able to modify via 'System Settings > Network' the only option permitted to me is to add a 'vpn' definition.
I have not been able to establish a network connection at all.
- What can I try to fix this?
- Do I need a driver from somewhere and can I install said driver without having to recompile the kernel?
- Is there a GUI way of setting network parameters or is editing the hosts, resolv.conf, and interfaces file the only way?
- How can I find the Ethernet Mac address from terminal (I couldn't get it by doing
ifconfig -a)?

How much of run prevention is pitching and how much is defense? I'm guessing it "depends" on both and pitching is probably the bigger part of it but what is the general range of effect defense has in run prevention?
Printable View
How much of run prevention is pitching and how much is defense? I'm guessing it "depends" on both and pitching is probably the bigger part of it but what is the general range of effect defense has in run prevention?
I am not smart enough to answer that question, but I tried to figure out how much an effect elite defense has on overall run prevention. I could be way off here, but it seems like at most it can effect it by around 14%.
Here's how I figured it.
If you had a team of gold glovers, they would probably each have a UZR/150 of +10, that adds up to a team UZR of around 100 including all the bench players and pitchers. That's for the best possible fielding team.
The league average in 2009 for runs scored was 727 for the season. So assuming that that league average team had league average defense, if you gave them elite defense, they would save 100 runs, and 100 is 14% of 727.
I could be way off, but that seems like the effect of elite defense on a team's overall run production.
Just for the record, the Reds defense in 2009, according to Fangraphs, was 51 runs better than average, which is damn good. That's half of the very best it could be.
Are they separable? Or, to what extent does having a defense of particular caliber/strengths enable a team to pitch in certain ways? or build a particular kind of pitching staff?
That's not a bad analysis. The Mariners were almost at that 100 run figure with 85.4. In my head with absolutely no analysis or research whatsoever, I had it at around 25%.
This past season, I've been look at ERA-FIP as a rough indicator of how much defense "helps" pitching. The Reds had one of the lowest E-F this year with -0.45 which was second only to the aforementioned Mariners at -0.52. In terms of ERA, the Reds were 8th best but in terms of FIP, they were 5th worse. So, to me, improving the pitching with similar defense would really do wonders for the run difference.
I think...

I was raised to be a strong, independent woman. I don't just believe—I know—that I can do anything. In the first few years of my marriage (okay, still) I struggled to let my husband help me with anything. But, as I tried to do all things and be all things for all people at all times and never require any help, I found myself stressed and exhausted. Through some sage counsel I began to ask my husband to do things for me, not because I couldn't do them, but because it brought him joy to help me. I slowly realized that in allowing him to help me I was happier, less stressed and had more to give. Paul had to learn a similar lesson, that when he put his trust, hope, and strength in God he was stronger and more effective in his ministry. In our culture this is not an easy concept to understand. We need to grow in awareness that in putting our trust and strength and hope in God we are stronger, we are better, we are more hopeful.
God, help us this day and every day to put aside our need to be independent and self-made, and to put our trust and faith in you to lead us and guide us, to lighten our burden and to increase our joy. Amen.
Jennifer BeilSt. Timothy Lutheran Church,
Portland, Ore. Master of Divinity , 2008
2 I know a person in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows.
3 And I know that such a person—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows—
4 was caught up into Paradise and heard things that are not to be told, that no mortal is permitted to repeat.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.
6 But if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think better of me than what is seen in me or heard from me,
7 even considering the exceptional character of the revelations. Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated.
8 Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me,
9 but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
10 Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).
Collections are a JPG+ feature. You must be a JPG+ member to create new collections and to add photos to collections.

I love this. I used to take my grand-kids to our lake house for a weekend.Six of them, and these were the rules I made them repeat before we left the driveway. We had such a great time singing out the rules.

The pitchers and catchers of the Seattle Mariners reported to sunny Arizona yesterday. Felix Hernandez was tweeting pictures of himself in cars and planes on his way to the 70 degree weather, and fans were going crazy. Not only is he showing up to begin a new season, he's beginning a new era - a 7-year era that comes after a Perfect Game (Felix got a contract extension until 2019!) It would be a good book to write, "Beyond Perfection." Perhaps I will sink my teeth into that one. Familiar faces from last year uni-d up Tuesday, such as Tom Wilhelmson, Josh Kinney, youngsters Stephen Pryor and Carter Capps, Charlie Furbush, Lucas Luetge, and Oliver Perez. Along with Hernandez, the starting pitchers included Hisashi Iwakuma and a newly signed, prior Orioles pitcher—lefty Joe Saunders. This is very good news to my ears, as he replaces Vargas as the new starting southpaw. Rightfully making the playoffs, the Orioles were one of my favorite teams last year, along with Buck Showalter, ...
