Doug Anderson had enough of Detroit Mercy's 92-62 win over Cleveland State Tuesday night, so he decided to leave the gym…through the roof. Anderson threw down two ridiculous high-wire act dunks that got the sparse Calihan Hall on their feet. If the whole basketball thing doesn't work out for Anderson (Harlem Globetrotters), he might be able to find a job with Delta or Southwest. Here's a clip of Anderson's two rim-rockers.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Flynn discusses new patrol unit
The neighborhood-based patrol unit will focus on areas plagued by violent crime, Flynn said during a news conference at City Hall.
"The Neighborhood Task Force is our effort to take the Milwaukee Police Department into this summer and beyond in a proactive, anti-violence capacity that's going to focus on the problems of crime, fear and disorder in the neighborhoods," Flynn said.
The task force, which was created by pulling officers from the department's vice and intelligence divisions and pulling heavily from the Patrol Support Division, should streamline the department's operations, Flynn said.
"We have a number of highly productive units out there that are productive in an uncoordinated manner, and our challenge, I think, is to take that drive and that work ethic and focus on specific neighborhoods and specific neighborhood problems with a specific mandate to use those different capacities to reduce crime," he said.
The new unit will concentrate on gang and drug issues, fugitive apprehension, traffic patrols, tactical enforcement and mobile patrols, Flynn said.
"Violence in this city is, aside from the occasional notorious incident, highly concentrated," he said. "It's had a devastating effect on many of our neighborhoods, and it's fair to say that in those neighborhoods, crime is causing poverty. We've got to change that reality, and we've got to change it by changing the climate within which violence occurs."
Although Flynn said he was responsible for the unit's strategic concept and name, the captains of the city's seven police districts determined its composition and structure.
The district captains will meet each week with the unit's commander, Deputy Inspector Denita Ball, Flynn said.
"The key here is to realize this unit is not some sort of tactical patrol force that's going to come in like strangers, big foot all over a neighborhood and then leave ill feelings behind," Flynn said. "This is a neighborhood task force, and what that means is it's going to focus on the neighborhoods of concern to district commanders who, working closely with those neighborhoods, are able to identify the locations where violence is the great concern."
Mayor Tom Barrett, who shared the podium with Flynn at the news conference, said he was "very pleased with the direction (in which) the police chief is taking this department."
Barrett said the new task force represents a "very proactive effort to increase the visibility and the involvement of police in the neighborhoods, not just during the summer when we traditionally see a spike in crime, but throughout the entire year."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Opinion: Blaming soldiers for suicides is appalling; blame the war
The news found in The Star-Ledger's Memorial Day article, "Rutgers genetics center to study Army suicides," was appalling — that we continue to blame the soldier, rather than war itself, for the morbidly high military suicide rate.
A $2.4 million grant will fund collection of 55,000 blood samples from active-duty soldiers, which will be studied at Rutgers' Human Genetics Institute. The study's goal is to determine who might be biologically predisposed to suicide due to a genetic inability to cope with intense stress. The study will determine, too, whether combat can change a soldier's genetic makeup.
I am a Vietnam veteran and I cannot escape my memories of the genocidal training we received, nor the barbarity and cruelty we witnessed.
Read the rest of John Ketwig's commentary at NJ Voices, a blog published by the Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J.
John Ketwig, author of "… And a Hard Rain Fell: A G.I.'s True Story of the Vietnam War," lives in Warren County, N.J.

Dr. Jerry D. Fain's Ratings
Dr. Fain is extremely thorough - even his staff jokes about how thorough he is. During one visit, a staff member was explaining a treatment that I was about to undergo. She smiled in an affectionate way and said, "Dr. Fain being Dr. Fain, he ordered this as well - just in case. He always likes to make sure that everything is covered." He is also well-respected among his peers. I had to see another type of doctor for a different condition. When he found out that Dr. Fain was one of the doctors on my medical team, he said, "Oh, you treat with Jerry Fain? I have a HIGH level of respect for HIM." Dr. Fain takes the time necessary to listen and also to make sure you understand your condition(s)/upcoming treatment plans. I have also noticed how respectful and courteous he is to his staff. He is a world class doctor and a world class human being. I trust him with my life.

I am alive today thanks to Dr Fain. Dr Fain is knowledgable and has extremely good bedside manners. He is also willing to work with other doctors with their opinions and select the best treatment available. HE has contacts in many places. My 2 year prognosis was 10-15%. It is now 8 years later.

I feel I'm alive today due to Dr. Fain. He is the most compassionate doctor I've ever had. I was impressed at the fact he is constantly learning new ways of combating cancer. When he told me I was in remission, I thanked him for saving my life. He humbly told me he worked through God and it was Him that saved my life and that he was only His servant. An excellent doctor and a Christian, you can't get any better.

Plus private insurance: Dr. Fain is an exemplary physician in every way. This concurs with the first report here on him. If I ever have cancer again, I'll not stop until I can have this doctor.

Heart2HeartVictorville, CAAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5To believe in just the beginning to make a Christmas prayer come true!October 3, 2014Heart2HeartVictorville, CAAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I can't imagine a more challenging Christmas than the one 15-year-old Hannah Robertson is finding herself facing. Managing a full schedule as a freshman in high school would be difficult enough, but her parents are beyond busy serving as the ambassadors in Sweden. The one thing Hannah has been able to count on is that her parents have always managed to be home for Christmas. Even though most of the time, they are busy with political meetings and dinner plans, it was still nice to be able to spend time with them. But this is not what is going to happen this year. The email response from her mother was simply that they could not find the time to make it home this year. They hope she understands. Hannah's response? "Fine, Mother. How completely understandable that my parents would choose parties in Sweden over Christmas with me. Love you, too."
When her mother received Hannah's email response she found herself feeling a bit guilty believing that Hannah had come to accept the busyness of how involved they were in Sweden and had hoped she might be relived not to have to attend all those parties and gathering if her parents had come home. Guess not after all. The one thing her mother believed might just help was if she finally came clean with the truth about Hannah's real father. That her biological father was not the man she married, but the man she left when Hannah was four. She had hoped to tell her when she turned eighteen, but now might be the perfect time to tell her. So she packaged up a few photos of Mike Connor, Hannah's real father, a pair of pilot wings and shipped off a letter she had hoped would explain her decision to walk away from him 11 years ago.
To Hannah, realizing that Jack was not her real father explained how he acted around her and filled in all the missing holes in Hannah's heart. She dreamed of the man who had read to her, played with her and one she fondly loved and now she had to find a way to find him against all odds based on what little information she had. The man she was looking for was serving in Iraq and had been searching for her all his life. Now all they needed was the perfect Christmas miracle.
I received Hannah's Hope by Karen Kingsbury as a free copy for my honest review compliments of Faith Words, a division of Hachette Book Groups. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions contained here are strictly my own. I've been a huge fan of Karen Kingsbury's novels since my very first one. She gets right to the heart of the reader's emotions and inspires such a feeling of hope and love, you find yourself smiling as you finish each book. It makes you want to be a better person and inside changes your heart. Included in this book at the conclusion are a list of projects you can involve yourself with to help our service men and women serving our country this Christmas which evokes the meaning behind this series of books. This is the fourth book in the Red Glove Series and can be read in any order or as a stand alone. What a perfect gift to give someone this year for Christmas and one I rate a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Browns linebacker Scott Fujita has criticized NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the way he has handled his suspension in the New Orleans Saints' bounty case.
Fujita says Goodell's letter is ``neither accurate nor productive.'' Fujita adds the reduced suspension implies he is being suspended for ``failing to confront my former defensive coordinator for his inappropriate use of language.''
Fujita says it ``seems like an extremely desperate attempt to punish me. I also think it sets a dangerous precedent when players can be disciplined for not challenging the behavior of their superiors.
``This is an absolute abuse of the power that's been afforded to the commissioner.''

Frum- is a festival for contemporary music taking place in Reykjavík/Iceland every summer. The goal of the festival is to introduce masterpieces of contemporary music literature. Pieces that have already established themselves within music history but nevertheless are seldom heard in the concert halls of Reykjavík. Frum- offers a great opportunity to get an international perspective on traditions and trends of contemporary music developments. The Frum- festival is a unique opportunity for music-lovers, and specially aspiring musicians, to experience live the masterworks of the contemporary repertoire.
The festival is organized in cooperation with the Reykjavík Art Museum. The museum's exhibitions allow the audience to experience the music in a creative and stimulating environment.
The focus of Frum- 2013 will be on the music of the German composer, Helmut Lachenmann. Lachenmann (b. 1935) has been one of the world´s most influential composers of the last 50 years. His music is very demanding for the performer and uses vide range of extended techniques invented by the composer. Lachenmann's music is unusual and often very quiet, but at the same time highly virtuosic and vigorous. The focus of the music lies not only on the sound but also on the way it is produced. Thus sound and noise become equally important creating a totally new musical experience. Other works on the festival are all by composers from the German-speaking world, that is Klaus Huber from Austria, Georg Friedrich Haas and Johannes Schöllhorn from Switzerland and Sarah Nemtsov from Germany.

In CMS, A 'Zero' May Become History (As Long As Kids Try)
As long as you try hard, grades of zero are not given at Mallard Creek High School. The worst grade a students can get is a 50, even if they turn in homework late or get less than half the questions right on a test. The policy went into effect last fall, and now CMS officials are reviewing it to see if it should be implemented system wide.
Mark Bosco is a big supporter of the policy. He's the Executive Director of the Northeast Zone of CMS. Bosco says the grading policy doesn't mean a 50 is the new 0.

Their love of horses brought them together again - as members observed the 2013 awards banquet of their Minnesota Pinto Horse Association in Monticello on a recent Saturday evening.
The horses stayed home, munching on hay and grain, wishing for their next trip out of the stable.
But this night was for their owners, riders and trainers, as awards were handed out to participants in one of the largest horse associations around.
The Minnesota Pinto Horse Association has been in existence for 48 years and boasts 300 members from across Minnesota and the Midwest. Approximately 75% of their membership, however, comes from the precincts north and west of the Twin Cities.
Their competitions are among the largest and best, they feel.
The Pinto association hosts four large competitions each year, two at the Minnesota Equestrian Center in Winona May 24-26 and Aug. 8-10 and two at Red Horse Ranch Arena in Fergus Falls, July 11-13 and Sept. 5-7.
They are three-day events for the horses, usual for their length, because the Pintos are judged on their versability - in English riding, Western and "pattern work," says Renae Ross.
An estimated 120 to 130 horses are entered into each of these four competitions.
Awards presentations kept the Pinto people busy until 11 p.m.
Most significant awards were given to Peter Faust, Maple Plain, MN and a deceased horse from Nebraska, which had showed many times during his career in Minnesota.
Faust, owner and operator of Frost Training stable in Maple Plain, was nominated a preferred horseman and inducted into their National Hall of Fame.
He has spent his life coaching exhibitors in all seats, showing all types of Pintos. He is also a regular sponsor of local Pinto charter year-end awards and special needs equine organizations.
He supports an average of 20 exhibitors into one of the largest PtHA charters in the nation.
The horse from Nebraska, now deceased for two years, Sir Issac Newton, had a distinguished career in show.
Spotz Royal Blue, the eight-year old Pinto Saddlebred and owned by Renae Ross of Big Lake Twp., was awarded the top point-getter recognitions at the convention.
During the 2013 competiton season, Blue won open high point saddle type horse, six class high points in Minnesota and five national horse of the year class winnings.
He also won the coveted RO Tysnder award.
Renae and Terry Ross stable Blue on their farm off Co. Rd. 15, just north of the Elk River.
In their stable are two 20-year old horses, one retired, one ridden by Terry on trail rides, and a 2 1/2 year old, yet to get into training.
Renae has been riding since she was five years old, due to her mother's love of horses - and she has been competing since 1999. Terry enjoys trail riding in the Sand Dunes trail system and is the chief groomer at competitions.
Young Kira Stetler, the 15-year old Plymouth lady, was also recognized for her horsemanship during the past year.
She comes by her vocation for good reason - her parents Cris and Jim own and operate French Lake Equestrian LLC, a training and boarding facility for several dozen horses.

I see alot of people using super glue. Is it testors brand super glue? Super glue drys to quick doesn't it? Is the clear gue(for windows) strong?
What glues to use?
Posted 17 January 2013 - 04:48 PM

Yes Ali, a lot of us use super glue but you can use just about any brand. You can get "non-fogging" super glue, or CA glue, at any well-stocked hobby shop. Some of us use Elmer's glue for windows and yes, it is surprisingly strong once it is fully dried, plus, it dries clear. Use a toothpick to apply it around the edge of the clear windows on the inside of the body of the model. You could also use either clear enamel paint to glue in the glass or clear epoxy.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 07:20 PM
I mainly use Gap filling slow setting super glue from Bob Smith industries. WWW.bsi-inc.com More commonly known as Insta-Cure.I also use Tenax 7R, Plastruct plastic-weld, Elmers white glue, and 5 minute epoxy. it just depends on what sub assembly I am working on
Posted 17 January 2013 - 08:23 PM
I use Insta-Cure Gap filling super glue - purple label - 5-15 second set time. I also usually use an accelerator to set instantly. I didn't know it was called Bob Smith Industries before post #3. I have Maxi-Cure and Insta-Super thin too, but use the purple one by far the most (the thin is okay but is really easy to flood parts and leae a mess - and glue your fingers together).
I use "super glue" for almost everything - from engine block halves to shocks to seats - it is strong, dries fast, and, very important, it fills seems and gaps. I not only use it to put parts together but also for filling sink holes, ejector pin marks, etc - small dab, hit it with the accelerator, and your ready to sand in seconds.
I DO NOT USE it on "glass". For that, I use Testors clear canopy glue stuff.

i mostly use loctite super glue gel control...for welding plastic i use tenax and for glass i use aleene's tacky glue that u can get at hobby lobby...
Posted 27 January 2013 - 03:49 PM
I mostly use Bob Smith Insta-cure+ and 5-minute epoxy. CA glue can be used on clear styrene without crazing it if you only use a small amount and blow the vapors away while it cures- I've built several models using only CA glue, but now I tend to use the 5-minute epoxy on the clear parts just to be safe.

Life can be even more enjoyable when you have someone to share it with!
I am caring and kind and enjoy my life :) However, I'm at a place where I'd like to meet someone to share it with. Ideally, I am looking for a gentleman that is kind and considerate and that knows how to balance all the things that make life full like family, friends, work and play. Someone who likes to laugh and see the lighter side of things and also challenges themselves to be a better person. I am interested in meeting someone who doesn't always take life seriously and has learned that even with determination and drive it is still nice to be able to enjoy the moment. Sometimes the road you end up on isn't the one you planned for but it can still be fun. I am looking for someone who is confident but can appreciate the strength in others as well. My friends and co-workers tell me I'm sweet and kind to others, smile a lot and am always friendly. I'm also known to have one of those contagious giggles :) Some of the things I enjoy are running, spending time near the ocean, socializing with friends and spending time with my family. I also enjoy long rides on my bike, visiting new places, watching my kids play sports and refereeing in my daughters soccer league :)
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Cycling, Running, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I have not owned a dog for a while but my last dog was a beautiful beagle named Tiffany.
My favorite hot spots are pretty much any beach from Dana Point to Newport, my backyard, anywhere if my kids are with me, the Top of the World Trail and any Starbucks nearby my ventures :)
Ryerson University, Toronto, ON
My favorite things include playing with my kids, running trails, biking in Back Bay, relaxing in my backyard with friends, rose bushes, dinners on the patio, coffee, Monet art, strawberries, moonlight, fresh fallen snow at night and speaking French
I really enjoy running trails (my favorite- Top of the World trail), spending time at the ocean, being with friends and spending time with my family. I love to watch my kids play sports and so many more things to list that I consider fun.
The last thing I read was my son's progress report lol!

Quanah's mother comes to life in play
Wichitan Lobdell wrote, will star in show
Wichita Falls native Marybeth Little Weston Lobdell, formerly of New York City and now residing in Florida, knows the power of a good story — one that can charm an audience in Peoria as well as anywhere else.
But nowhere is Lobdell likely to find a more receptive audience and occasion for her one-character play, "The Squaw with Blue Eyes," than in Quanah on Saturday, final day of the Quanah Parker Celebration. A first-person narration, the play tells the story of Comanche captive Cynthia Ann Parker, mother of the renowned Comanche chief Quanah.
Lobdell wrote the play in 1982 for the Wichita Falls Centennial and premiered with fanfare and success at Backdoor Theater. She didn't dream then she'd be performing it again in her 80s — even if not in its entirety for a centennial of a different sort. The event in Quanah marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Quanah Parker.
"How wonderfully well he is remembered," Lobdell said, anticipating her appearance at 1:30 p.m. in The Foyer in downtown Quanah in the slot between Cynthia Ann Parker biographers Jack Selden, author of "Return," and Lucia St. Clair Robson, author of "Ride the Wind."
Paul Carlson and Tom Crum, co-authors of "Myth, Memory and Massacre," a story about Cynthia Ann Parker's 1860 recapture on Pease River near present-day Crowell, are also on the Saturday afternoon agenda, a mix of book signings and cultural presentations.
"I feel fortunate to be coming home to celebrate his life with other writers who admire him and with his Comanche and Anglo kin. (Descendants of Cynthia Ann and Quanah Parker, plus other Parker kin, will gather in Quanah for a family reunion; the event is equally open to the public.) Everywhere I have given programs about Cynthia Ann and Quanah Parker — in New York, Massachusetts, Florida, Oklahoma — I always tell the listeners that I'm closing with Quanah's own words, his eloquent prayer for the Texas town that former foes named for him. It's going to be thrilling to say the words in the town itself:
"'May the Great Spirit smile on you. May the rains fall in due season and, in the warmth of the sunshine after the rain, may the earth yield bountifully. May peace and contentment dwell with you and your children forever.'"
The 1890 blessing is written on a brass plaque on the red granite Quanah Parker Monument on the courthouse square in Quanah, a place that will be a focal point for ceremonies.
A former garden editor of House and Garden magazine and a trustee of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Lobdell now lives in Jacksonville, Fla., with her husband, Leighton Lobdell.
Her daughter, Carol Weston, and her son, Mark Weston, are both writers.
Carol Weston, freelancer and novelist, writes for young people and Mark Weston, a policy analyst, has written books about Japan, Pakistan and Saudia
Lobdell's late parents, J. A. Little and Novella Little, were physicians who practiced in Wichita Falls.
More information about the Quanah Parker Celebration in Quanah, Thursday-Saturday, is posted at www.quanahmainstreet.

text: The The Last Secret Identity! wiki last edited by Darkside_of_the_Sun on 01/24/15 08:00PM View full history In the year 2862, history professor Kristen Wells conducts a class on the mystery of Superwoman. The mysterious Superwoman was a late 20th Century super-heroine whose secret identity remains unknown, even in Wells' time. After watching videos of Superwoman's feats, Wells' class postulates that all of Superwoman's powers could easily be duplicated by current technology. When Wells asks how Superwoman could possibly have gained access to future technology, her class proposes that Wells take a field trip to the 20th Century to find out. Wells visits the bullpen of the Daily Planet, and gets herself hired on as Lois Lane's typist. Upon laying eyes on Wells, Jimmy Olsen immediately begins hitting on her. Clark Kent, having encountered Wells once before, takes her aside to find out why she's come back to his century.During their discussion, Kent's super-hearing picks up the arrival of an alien craft in Metropolis. Wells informs Kent that the ship is piloted by King Kosmos, a brutal alien dictator. Kent, as Superman, flies out to confront King Kosmos. Superman comes under fire from King Kosmos' powerful laser cannons. Having discovered Superwoman's costume in Lane's office, Wells confront's Lane, stating that Superman needs her. Lane tells Wells that the costume actually belongs to Kent's cousin, Linda Danvers. Wells attempts to reach Danvers by phone, but Danvers is already en route to Metropolis. Superman finds the fortitude to resist the power of the laser cannon, fighting the pain until he's almost reached the ship. Just as he makes contact with the cannon, the Man of Steel seems to shatter, his body scattered across the skies of Metropolis.Wells is stunned, as Superman's death at the hand of King Kosmos is not historically accurate. Suddenly, Kent walks in on Wells. Kent reveals that King Kosmos' weapon actually hurled Superman back in time, to Medieval England. To Olsen's chagrin, Kent and Wells head out together. Wells fills Kent in on King Kosmos' history. Wells points out a young girl who is about to race into traffic. With no time to change into his Superman costume, Kent is forced to save the girl in his civilian identity. That night, Wells, on Olsen's invitation, attends a costume party for the Daily Planet staff. King Kosmos creates the illusion of a nuclear attack on Metropolis to draw Superman out. Superman investigates, only to discover the illusion. Suspecting a trap, Superman returns to the party.King Kosmos tracks Superman to the party, then targets the building with a weapon that instantly fells Superman, as well as all the other partygoers. Only Wells remains standing, having used technology from her time to shield herself from King Kosmos' weapon. Danvers is also among the fallen. Wells suddenly realizes that it is she, herself, who is Superwoman. Donning the Superwoman costume, and outfitting it with her future technology, Wells, as Superwoman, flies out to confront King Kosmos. Responding to the threat of King Kosmos, The Flash, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Batman and Robin are all en route to Metropolis, when King Kosmos fells them all. Superwoman phases through the hull of King Kosmos' ship, and commandeers his communications array to issue a defiant speech on behalf of America.Unimpressed, King Kosmos strikes Superwoman down. King Kosmos launches a nuclear reactor at Dallas, Texas, then departs, leaving Superwoman to fall to her death. A recovered Superman rescues Superwoman. Leading Superman to Dallas, Superwoman has Superman intercept the reactor, before sending the Man of Steel into deep space. There, Superman safely destroys the reactor. Superwoman pursues KIng Kosmos through time, leaving a message for Superman to follow. King Kosmos travels back to Ford's Theater in Washington D.C. at the end of the American Civil War to sow chaos. Superwoman tackles King Kosmos, phasing them both out of his ship. King Kosmos, however, manages to keep hold of a remote control unit, allowing him to activate the ship's weapons, and fire on the civilian populace. Superman arrives and disables the ship's weapons.King Kosmos traps Superman in a pocket of space, one located in a Red Sun system. Superwoman frees Superman, then they both pursue King Kosmos into the time stream. Though Superwoman reaches KIng Kosmos first, she refuses to engage him, only willing to destroy his chronal navigator. Superman battles against King Kosmos, who ultimately flees. Without his chronal navigator, though, he is forever lost in the time stream. Superwoman reveals that she held back because history says Superman, not Superwoman, defeated King Kosmos. Back at the Daily Planet, Kent brags to Olsen, and Lane, that he conducted an exclusive interview with Superwoman. Kent is saying goodbye to Wells, when Olsen makes one last play for her. Wells amorously kisses Kent in front of Olsen, emasculating the young reporter. Wells returns to her time to write up her historical account on Superwoman. When questioned by a student why Wells treated Olsen so cruelly, Wells replies that she had to keep her distance from Olsen, as she is descended from him.Notes:"With a special inking assist from Tod Smith"Part 1 "The Superwoman of Metropolis!"Part 2 "A Madman Loose in Time"EpilogueLana Lang cameo.Morgan Edge has an "Anything Goes Party" with costumed guest such as the Flash, Wonder Woman, Cheetah, Batman, Superman, Black Canary, Lex Luthor, Jimmy Olsen dressed as Elastic Lad, Thor and Spiderman.


text: ACTON: Church of Greece: Country 'occupied' by creditors Posted on December 18, 2010 by Fr Gregory Jensen Image via Wikipedia Hmmmm! Greece is occupied by creditors? Really? I must have missed the CNN report that showed the NATO tanks rolling in and the US Special Forces parachute drops. Evidently, I've got to get cable tv. All kidding aside, and as you point out, the fault here lies at least partially with the Church of Greece. Yes, secularism and materialism are problems, and yes, asceticism is the answer. But asceticism is only attractive to those who have heard and accepted the Gospel. And, to borrow from St Paul, how can they hear unless we preach? Forgive me but the Church in Greece, and I fear the Church in Russia as well, is at least as concerned with its social position as it is preaching the Gospel. Unfortunately to be as concerned about the preaching the Gospel as your place in society is, in the final analysis, to forsake preaching in favor of social acceptance and power. Forgive me for sounding harsh, and I'm aware of how much work needs to be done by the Orthodox Church here in America, but the complaints of the Church of Greece ring hollow to my no doubt tin ear and fail to resonant in my no doubt stony heart. Read more about it here.

hmmmm - don't tease me that means I might get mine.
I got mine today as well. I had already returned my HPWC, so if someone needs one and doesn't get it, let me know.
"Works like a charm." NO! Bulky and awkward to use due to the springy stiffness of the cord which tends to push the "nozzle" away from the hanger, unless you put it up high enough for the cord weight to hold it down. It's a cheap, crappy design unworthy of either the $1500 HPWC cost or the usual elegant thoughtfulness of Tesla. Am sending mine back. I was just about to order an "X", but this has given me a little pause.
C'mon, guys, it is just a cable organizer. What's a big deal. I even don't bother to install it.
@robcrane, your experience with it likely depends on where you place it. Yes, it is important to place it where you won't put undue lateral stress on the cable.
For me, the HWPC is to the near the frunk, to the left, the charging cord goes along the wall toward the back of the car. Then I do one extra coil around the cable hanger before hanging it up in the receptacle. I placed the receptacle so as to be right across from the charging port in the car when parked. This means I can simply lift up the plug, turn around and plug it in. Takes less than 5 seconds.
Previously, I had to awkwardly coil the cord around the HPWC which took a minute at first, but 30 seconds after enough practice doing it for a month. Now it's very quick both to plug-in and to hang up with no hassles. So, works like a charm for me.
I use a bungee cord to hold my cable on hooks. Looks great.
Mine arrived today (6-25)

All 3 are dead broke and have zero vices and any child could ride which makes me extremely happy BUT I was waiting for some kind of problem.
The rocky mountian was breathing funny, no noises just fast off and on. It did not increase when he was ridden. Then he developed a clear runny nose. A few days later green then yellow and white and clear. His lymph nodes do not seem to be swollen the same as the mare. Now the mare has a yellow discharge on one side and swollen lymph nodes in between the jaws. Sounds like Strangles I think. Vets coming out tomorrow. I am hoping it's not and only form 3 feed changes et cetera.

Ken Cribb observed a wealth of emotions in his Bluffton High football team this week.
The Bobcats had to quickly get over Friday's loss to Summerville in the region title game and prepare for the state playoffs.
With 75 of 84 precincts reporting in Beaufort County, voters favor by 62 to 38 percent keeping the county auditor and treasuer as elected positions.
With 75 of 84 precincts reporting in Beaufort County, voters are leaning 62 to 38 percent toward passing a referendum approving $25 million in bonds to benefit the Rural and Critical Land Preservation program.
Voter turnout in Jasper County for Tuesday's general election was better than local officials anticipated, though it was lower than in 2008.
County election commission chairman Donald Sheftall said about 69.8 percent of registered voters cast ballots.
Catie Meighan felt some trepidation last fall when, as a seventh-grader, she entered the tennis season as a starter for Bluffton High School.
One year later, Meighan is entrenched as the Bobcats' No. 1 singles player.
SUMMERVILLE - Bluffton players didn't plan to dwell on their 31-22 loss to Summerville in the SCHSL Region 8-AAAA title game Friday.
The perfect record, the region title, the 21-game regular-season winning streak - they all slipped away from Bluffton on Friday night.
SUMMERVILLE — The perfect record, the region title, the 21-game regular-season winning streak — they all slipped away from Bluffton on Friday night.
The Bobcats fell behind early in the SCHSL Region 8-AAAA championship game at Summerville and their furious second-half rally fell short in a 31-22...
Ken Cribb was glad to hear that Summerville coach John McKissick won the 600th game of his career last Friday night.

Why do people keep saying Voyager weakened the Borg?

Re: Why do people keep saying Voyager weakened the Borg?
are the only one here who's positing that the only possible scenario involving Borg victories in VOY would have had to look something like this:
- Voyager flies up to a planet, Borg are attacking
- Voyager runs away
- Borg win
- Roll credits
You want to keep the Borg as effective villains (the way TNG overpowered them) this is pretty much the standard.
"Voyager doesn't stop the Borg or save the entire planet" does not have to mean "Voyager is completely ineffectual and ever last member of that species is assimilated."
If VOY is effective against the Borg, the Borg are weakened. If the Borg don't assimilate everyone present, then they're also weakened.
just spineless cowards, they were keeping priorities. Now, see if you can stretch that imagination and picture a similar scenario that could have happened in VOY, and you see our point.
VOY doesn't have any higher priority or missions other than "save our own skins and run back home". That's the premise of the show. Everything else is secondary, meaning there's no room for "We have a more important mission to accomplish, we can't stop to help." DS9 could tell that type of scenario because there was more at stake than their lives and they had actual missions to perform. VOY had none of that.
showing a defeat doesn't preclude an eventual happy ending.
A defeat that entails the utter decimation of an entire planet and its species, wherein the "heroes" were unable or unwilling to do anything but run away crying doesn't lend itself to anything but a bittersweet ending at best that still paints the "heroes" in a bad light for the rest of the series because of their failure/cowardice especially compared to the heroism of their peers/predecessors.
Kirk can fight Gods and save worlds from destruction at the hands of powerful invaders/destroyers.
Picard can defeat the Borg every major Invasion they send against the Federation.
Sisko can defeat the Dominion in their war for conquest of the Alpha/Beta Quadrants.
VOY's crew can...fail against the Borg and then run away, or just run away at the sight of the Borg despite their victims begging them for help the whole way through because if they manage to do anything significant the Borg will have been weakened as villains.
