Chipper Jones out until at least Monday but the Braves will be fine without him
Apr 9, 2010, 3:15 PM EDT
As was mentioned in the recaps this morning, Chipper Jones hurt his oblique in yesterday's loss to the Cubs. He was originally listed as day-to-day, but Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that he got a cortisone shot today and because of whatever voodoo accompanies cortisone shots he's out until at least Monday, and may miss some more time.
My guess is that he'll once again begin pursuing Cal Ripken's Iron Man title on Wednesday of next week, due to the no-travel offday Tuesday which would give him some more time to heal. Also worth noting is that between Eric Hinske, Troy Glaus Martin Prado and Omar Infante, the Braves are rotten with guys who can at least pretend to play a little third base if need be. My guess is that they'll either plug Infante directly at third or else play Infante at second and move Prado over.
While all of this may be distressing to some Braves fans, David O'Brien reminded us this morning that the team went 9-1 when Chipper missed ten games last season. Fact is, the offense doesn't depend on him the way it used to and the Braves will get by without him for a few days.
- Jonny5 - Apr 9, 2010 at 3:34 PM
I hate to say it Craig, but i think we'll see a whole lot of Chipper sitting out games, and contrary to your opinion I feel they will need him to keep up with the division. Hey, Just as you predicted it's neck and neck so far 2-1 on the season for both of our teams…. LoL!!! May the ball busting begin!!! April 20th is right around the corner…… I'll save any further ball busting until after that series. Do you have your Lucky Braves hat to wear for those games? you'll need it….. ;>)~ BTW I just noticed who is playing who last series of the season, Nice……. Hope the Phills aren't so far ahead they roll over though… HA!

Chipper Jones has a bruised/pulled/strained/sprained something-or-other.
In other news, water is wet, the sun is hot, and the sky is blue.

True, since on what Scrooge McLoria pays them, third deck seats are all they're going to be able to afford for the playoffs.
Jimmy boy, your enthusiasm is refreshing but a slightly more realistic view of the Feesh will save you a lot of frustration as we slog through this season. It is not going to be pretty.

How (and why) Reliant Energy pioneered in-home displays
By Jesse Berst
Over the past few months, we've spent time mapping out what some call "the customer journey." Thanks to smart technologies, electric power utilities can now help customers move a step at a time to full engagement and enablement â€' from simple bills, to personalized reports and recommendations, to online portals, and all the way to interactive, in-home displays (IHDs) and other smart energy devices for the home.
In April, we talked about the state-of-the-art in paper and email reports in an article that explained Duke Energy's path to a more engaged electric power customer. We followed that with a webinar on customer engagement featuring Duke Energy. (Click the link to view the slides or watch a replay.)
In May, we explained how Kansas City Power & Light uses a web portal to improve customer engagement. We followed that with a webinar featuring KCP&L along with behavioral scientist Dr. Paul Cole.
Now we're back to talk about the next stage in the journey -- in-home displays, giving consumers choice in how and where they engage with energy information in their daily lives. I have been researching the topic in preparation for a webinar on Wednesday, Oct. 17, featuring Reliant Energy. (Registration is free while space remains; click to reserve a spot.)
The path forward
Although Reliant does not yet have enough data for final conclusions, it believes anecdotally that the IHDs have significant retention benefits. "We were surprised by the amount of interest," Smith said. "There is a certain group that really wants to conserve and that automatically has interest. And there is an even bigger group who didn't think they would be interested - but once they try it, they become advocates and spread the word to others."
Although Reliant is further down the path than many utilities, its customer journey isn't over yet. Reliant markets the IHD program under the slogan "Insight. Choice. Convenience." Smith says Reliant is well along on the first two thanks in part to the Tendril IHD. Next up is "convenience," whereby Reliant will try to help customers with home automation.
"You need a diverse portfolio," Smith cautioned. "Some customers want information pushed to them. Some want a portal where they can visit on their own. And some want full interactivity."
To hear directly from Reliant's Mark Smith and from two Tendril experts â€' plus the chance to ask questions directly â€' join us Oct. 17 for "Customer Engagement with In-Home Displays." Click now to reserve a slot for the free Oct. 17 webinar (and to receive a copy of the slides and the frequently asked questions after the event).

greenpois0n RC 6 jailbreak now available, supports Apple TV untethered
Does anyone read the comments? Or even the blog for that matter? Geesh people
When is cydia comming to apple tv 2. And what does xbmc offer. Somebody (TIPB) write an article or something. Thanks
Did anyone succeed jailbreaking the apple tv
It doesn't work for Apple tv :(
Are you sure that your getting it into dfu mode? Dfu mode is a black screen on the iPhone. Looks like it's not on. If it's in there, iTunes will recognize it, and notify you that it detected a phone in recovery mode. Follow the directions and timings in green poison exactly, just don't release the home button. The process on the computer will say it's complete before it is. Your screen should go white, then come up with a ms dos looking screen, or just a black screen with white writing. It will say unable to something, forget wha it is. Your still holding the home Button during this and haven't released it. It will take a few seconds. A bunch of white writing will come down the screen. Eventually it restarts and you will see an apple/skull logo. Thats when you let go of the home button. Home screen comes up go to loader install Cydia your good to go. Shoot over to the forums if you still have issues. Someone more knowledgeable will be able to help you
@David there was an XBMC article. Just search for it on the site.
Anyone able to jailbreak apple tv?!????
Hey guys.. I JB my iPhone 4 on 4.2.1 (green poison)... Seemed to have everything go smooth... But when I installed cyida from the loader.. Everytime I try to open Cydia.. My phone re springs? TrIed to JB again using Green poison but same thing... Any help please?
Alright, it works great! Thank you, Chronic Dev Team once again! :D
Here are a couple of tips, just in case you guys run into problems. You need to use Greenpois0n RC6, which you will have to download first. I had jailbroken my Apple TV 2G with Seas0npass before but just like redsn0w worked for the iDevices, Seas0npass was also a tethered jailbreak affair. I first tried to use GP RC6 right over the already-jailbroken Apple TV, but it looks like it works best on a freshly restored Apple TV, which you will have to do in iTunes. In my case, the Apple TV software downloaded first and then the restore process worked just like any iDevice.
For detailed instructions on how to JB it, the GP software will ask you if you want to JB an Apple TV (as opposed to an iPhone or iPad, etc.), so click "Yes" and instead of instructions for iDevices, you will see the instructions for the Apple TV.
Important note: When the jailbreak says Completed, do NOT disconnect the USB cable from your Apple TV just yet, as the jailbreak will need an additional 45 seconds to finish the process! You will see this warning in the initial pop-up window, but it is probably easily forgotten. Also, you will need a microUSB cable to jailbreak the Apple TV 2. Luckily, I had once lying around from my BlackBerry days. ;-)
Good luck and if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll try to answer them here.
Worked flawlessly after clean restore in iTunes. Now intotv and xmbc are installed.
Nitotv and xbmc wow it's like I'm dislexic.
OKAY SO IT"S OFFICIAL...Greenposi0n is the battery draining problem!
I jailbroke my iPhone 4, restored as new and JB with GP. I tried RC5-2, RC5-4 and RC5-Final...I would charge my battery up to 100% and just leave it over night on standby mode, with NOTHING else running in the background. I'd wake up 8-10 hours later and find my battery depleted by over 40%-50%.
Yesterday I re-jailbroke my phone with Redsn0w and put everything the same way it was when I was using GP...well this morning after leaving the phone on standby for almost 10hours I woke up to a full battery with an 89% charge.
I'd say this is proof enough that GP is the culprit!!
HELP PLEASE. I got verizon iphone 4 with 4.2.6 and trying to Jailbreak with GreenpoisOn RC 6 and I put the phone in dfu mode then the phone just has white screen and said jailbreak failed. any suggestions?

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 12/28/12
In 2009 Jay Cutler was traded to the Chicago Bears and signed a five-year, $50 million contract. It was the most the Bears had ever paid for a quarterback and the move rang in a new era in the Windy City; a commitment to the passing game. Four years into the Jay Cutler experiment the transition can be labeled "disappointing" at best. Statistically Cutler has been middle of the road with the Bears. His best season was his first as he threw for 3,666 yards and 27 touchdowns. Unfortunately that performance was accompanied by 26 interceptions and a 76.8 quarterback rating. Meanwhile, Kyle Orton, the former Bears QB who was traded for Cutler, threw for a career best 3,802 yards, 21 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions that same season. Talk about a slap in the face.… Read more

For example, here is how to get from Chandler, AZ to Key West, FL without taking an Interstate.
This is how we made it from Portland, OR to Sneads Ferry, NC, to Kinsman, OH, and finally to Toronto all without taking any interstate highways. It's really easy. It just usually adds a few miles.
Bike routes may or may not work. When we looked at a few, they involved things like going the wrong way down one-way streets and riding on dedicated bike paths. Obviously a no-go on our Symbas.
Routing is easy, so get out there and ride!!
That looks like a good one. Might give it a try. (when it is cooler). I have found ways to get to a number of places in AZ by going the long way around, sometimes almost doubling the mileage. (not a problem, it's supposed to be a trip) but some of them still put you on the freeway for a short distance. For example, I couldn't find a way from Chandler to Yuma without getting on the freeway for 11 miles east of Quartzite. But I think my Zuma 125 may be freeway legal in AZ. It has more than 5 hp.

Hammerheads shine in their win over the Lobos
Corpus Christi sports fans got a rare treat on Saturday night, a professional sports victory over a Laredo team at the American Bank Center.
Hammerheads receiver Chris Chambers dominated the Laredo secondary with three touchdown grabs, the defense recorded two safeties and the special teams return a kickoff for a score as Corpus Christi defeated the Lobos, 49-30, in an Intense Football League game.
"It was a good win for us especially with all the guys getting banged up," Corpus Christi head coach Jason McKinley said. "Offense and defense did a great job of combating some of our shortcomings on special teams."
The win was the second straight for the Hammerheads in three weeks against the Lobos and moves the Hammerheads to 3-4. The Lobos are 1-6.
Being the first Hammerheads quarterback to make three straight starts in 2006, Wes Cooper didn't look like he would make it through the first drive. After completing his first four passes, Cooper couldn't get a handle on the snap and fell on the ball on his 21. Laredo's Tracy James covered Cooper and roll him over, pinning Cooper's left leg under their bodies and snapping it.
Cooper limped to the locker room for medical attention.
The Hammerheads' defense picked up Cooper, by tackling Laredo quarterback Donald Carrie, who fell on a bad snap, in the end zone for a safety.
After the kickoff, the Hammerheads needed only one play for score. Opening game starting quarterback Chris Harrington, who took over when Cooper went down in the previous drive, completed his first pass since the second game of the season. He hit Chambers with a 25-yard scoring strike.
"I knew we had Chris ready, but Wes has had the hot hand for us lately," McKinley said. "I just wanted to give him a chance and he gave it all he had."
After giving up a Laredo field goal, Cooper returned for the next Hammerheads' drive and tripped coming away from center and fell for a seven yard loss. On the next play he hit Terrance Pearson with a 27-yard pass. Former Texas A&M-Kingsville star linebacker Deandrae Fillmore completed the drive and reminded local folks why he was a nearly unstoppable running back at West Oso with a four-yard run to put the Hammerheads ahead 15-3 on the first play of the second quarter.
After forcing a long Laredo kick, the Hammerheads took advantage of two Laredo penalties - including one on an interception - to keep their drive alive. Cooper hit Chambers with a 13-yard scoring strike in traffic to open up a 21-3 lead. Chambers had six catches for 83 yards, while Cooper finished the game with 15 completions and 155 yards.
After a Laredo touchdown, Fillmore completed the first half scoring with a one-yard plunge and Corpus Christi held 27-9 halftime lead.
"Goal line offense was something we wanted to improve on," McKinley said. "Deandrae and the o-line did a great job. And Deandrae was everywhere, offense, defense and special teams he had some great hits."
The third quarter started off with fireworks. Carrie hit his favorite receiver of the night, Ed Giddings, with a 35-yard scoring strike on the first play. Giddings had 9 receptions for 120 yards, while Carrie completed 16 of 38 passes for 167 yards.
Toric Goins responded with a 50-yard kickoff return for a score for the second straight week.
The Hammerheads defense then took control after Laredo returned the ball to the Hammerheads 6. But three incompletions and a short run later, Corpus Christi had the ball back.
After a Tres Ramos kick pinned the Lobos on their 5, a bad snap allowed the Hammerheads defense to record their second safety of the game.
Linebacker/defensive end Jayme Jackson missed the game with an injured shoulder, and leading receiver Shomari Buchanan had a family emergency come up and he also missed the game. Nose tackle LaDaniel Marshall batted down three passes in the first half. He also tackled a ball carrier for a safety in the third quarter.

But is his quaff really as provocative a fashion statement as Mel says it is?

39 year old man | Franklin Park, IL, USA | Seeking women 28-37 within 20 miles
Looking for co-star for one of those match.com success story commercials!
These are always the hardest to write, so this time I decided not to write it myself. Since this was a birthday gift from my co-workers I decided to use the "sample description" one of my co-workers gave me. The scary part is it is a fairly accurate view of me, so here goes: -Young at heart- Definitely not your average Joe! I?m a nicer than average, slightly quirky Latino seeking someone to settle down with and hopefully make a match.com success commercial within the near future. I am a man on a mission! I have played the dating game and am ready for love. About me, I am an actor by night and internet guy by day. I love movies (sad to see blockbuster go under) I also enjoy bowling and rollerskating. I will workout if I tip the scale at an unfavorable number but won?t make it a point to kill myself at the gym. Life is too short to worry all that much about a little pudge! I want a woman who can lounge around with me, loves to eat, and laugh at my bad jokes! I have an impressive amount of hair ? and will more than likely never go bald. My coworkers gave me this match.com gift to find the love of my life?so here I am. I hope you become my woman for life so that I can introduce you to all my great pals at my 9-5.

As I understand it, the original actor was unavaiable. Since this meant recasting they decided "let's make his new appearance part of the plot," and he ended up as a child.
Fun fact, General Hammond's cameo was originally written for General John Jumper, who was at the time the real-life US Air Force Chief of Staff (and had previously appeared in Lost City). General Jumper had to back out at the last minute, and therefore the scene was given to Hammond instead.
I'll put it in spoilers just in case....
Is that the last time we see him?

WATCH: Pastor Thomas Beavers destroys the "gay christian" lie
Hear it for yourself, a powerful examination of the so-called gay christian lie by Pastor Thomas Beavers of Birmingham, AL. Don't miss the analogy about his two year old son.
Dr. Myles Munroe spoke out forcefully against homosexuality two months before his tragic death
Editor's Note: Two months before his tragic death on November 9th, Dr. Myles Munroe spoke out forcibly and eloquently against homosexuality in a press release entitled "Homosexuality: Phobia or Principle" (Aug 31st). His wisdom was on full display as he warned the church and warred against the terrible fallacy of deception seemingly sweeping the whole world. The over 2,000 word article used strong language to combat the lies being propogated by the homosexual movement. After his death, according to Brazilian evangelist Julio Severo, the document was summarily removed from his website. We are reposting it here to remind again that there can be no compromise with the wickedness inside this dark world.
In the guise of "Civil Rights" and "Human Rights" the LGBT minority community have decided to 'celebrate' the civility of their very uniquely chosen lifestyle and sexual preference publically. I am not sure what their mission or goals are in this effort, but obviously they have received enough incentive and motivation to attempt something that 90% of The Bahamas and Bahamians consider unacceptable and violates their collective convictions, moral standing and values.
Perhaps it may be helpful to first ask a simple yet profound question: "Is it civil, right, reasonable, logical, sane to promote a cause, lifestyle or practice of a behavior that could in its ultimate conclusion cause the extinction of the human race? It is insanity to demand the 'celebration' of your own extinction.
I am not sure what role is being played by Government, Government Leaders, Ministry of Tourism, or other parties that may have provided, if any, the incentive for this defiant social act, but I believe this must be addressed from the perspective not from any religious position, but rather from the concern for our very small fragile social fabric being held together by values and moral standards that provide the framework for a healthy Bahamian society.
Concern is also raised concerning the assistance, support and promotion of these efforts by international organizations and in individuals including travel agencies and tourism promotion entities such as gaytravel.about.com. The citizens of the Bahamas have a legitimate right to be and express their concerns in these matters.
I think it is dangerous, inappropriate, immature and disingenuous to accuse anyone with a deep concern about any attempt to impose, force or establish a set of values, standards, moral trends or lifestyle that could and would drastically change and in a very real way destabilize the foundations of a society, as have a phobia – or fear.
One of the greatest natural competent of human mechanism for survival and safety is the element of fear. Without the ability to embrace 'fear' or 'panic' the human species cannot protect himself against threats. The beauty of fear is that is an in inherent human quality that protects against danger and extinction. Phobia is inherently good.
There is no greater harm to human dignity than deception. Throughout history the power of deception has ruined millions of lives, started world wars and even changed the climate of nations. In our postmodern world there is a massive deception invading the very moral fabric of nations and dismantling the very core of the natural existence of humanity. As matter of fact this deception is threatening the extinction of mankind. What is amazing is that this deception is not a new one, but it emerged in the context of human existence on the planet as long ago as five thousand years. However, despite the reality of its existence, it has historically always kept its place at the fringes of mainstream society.
What is this deception? It is the unnatural attraction and relations between human species of the same sex or gender attempting to normalize the unnatural under the guise of being normal. Even though this unnatural behavior disguises itself under many labels, it is generally described as Homosexuality. The word itself incorporates its basic premise and that is, it is primarily sex driven. Those who have decided to embrace, practice, encourage, and surrendered and succumb to its passions, and they desire to dignify, promote and civilize this "lifestyle" over the past generation have become more aggressive even to the point of violence in some instances. This strategy seem to be one of fear mongering, psychological battery, and the selling of self-pity and abuse. Terms like bigot, hate crime, closed minded, conservative, anti-human, anti-civil, bulling, and the most common, phobia, are used to isolate the mainstream of humanity painting them as unloving, insensitive, ungodly, human haters, unsympathetic and uncivilized.
It is my view that this accusation of 'homo-phobia" is the greatest deception of all. Its intent is to make those who are considered 'normal' feel guilty for being normal. This deception is unfair, dishonest and dangerous. Its affect is to make the majority of humanity feel guilty for not accepting, glorifying and dignifying this 'unnatural' human behavior.
I am sure the question will arise, "What is 'unnatural' and who defines 'natural'?" It is essential to understand that natural cannot and does not need to be defined. Natural is simply the normal state of creation which manifests itself by its natural essence. In other words, nature defines itself. What is defined by nature is also what is considered as 'normal'. Normal is that which is the result of the natural course of life as nature or creation works in sustaining itself. Therefore the source of 'natural' or 'normal' is creation itself and any opinion of attempt of human genius cannot change what is natural.
Perhaps at point is it may also be important to note that the root word from which we derive our modern word 'Law' is the word 'norm'. The obvious implication is that all nature is the source of natural law and therefore defines what is the reference for the creation of any human law that attempts to interfere with nature itself? It is also important to note that any law made by man is ignored by nature.
Human sexuality is a product of natural creation and is rendered as normal, thus does not need definition. Any deviation from the natural is generally considered as 'unnatural' or 'abnormal'. In nature there will always be exceptions and these must be recognized as such. But even exceptions must be properly defined, for even in nature there is a natural inherent response to safe –guard its survival by minimizing the impact of the exception. All exceptions in nature are natural and not by choice.
In light of this natural reality why should homosexuality be considered 'unnatural' and perhaps 'abnormal'? Perhaps the answer is in the very description of homosexuality as 'a lifestyle'. Being an heterosexual is not a lifestyle but a natural by-product of nature and not by choice. Lifestyles are 'chosen' or a result of 'circumstances' but never a product of nature. We can choose lifestyles but never our nature.
The natural definition of 'unnatural' is that which is not a product of nature itself is, and that which cannot naturally reproduce in creation naturally. Perhaps this is the greatest challenge of the great deception of homosexuality, the natural fact that members of the same sex can come together, live together, express intimacy, and even be deeply emotionally involved with each other, but the reality and truth is they can never naturally reproduce after their kind. It is this fact, truth and reality that renders this lifestyle 'unnatural'.
It is this simple truth that make those who wish to perpetrate this unnatural 'lifestyle' of 'orientation' dishonest and deceptive. I am not against nor will attempt to prevent any human deciding to practice a specific 'lifestyle' or are inclined to follow a certain 'un-normal' behavior, but my concern and contention is their attempt to impose that decision on those who by nature are considered normal.
It is amusing that when the majority of the human community respond, express their disagreement with, or their deep honest concern about the attempt of those who embrace and practice this lifestyle to impose this 'unnatural' human lifestyle on society response this is interpreted a Phobia or fear.
If this accusation was levied by ignorant, uninformed persons perhaps it would be laughable, but one when intelligent individuals make this claim of phobia to a responsible intelligent person, one must take personal offence. Maybe the real fear is that one I would call 'truthphobia' or 'realityphobia'. Could it be that those who wish be considered normal, acceptable, natural, and civil, fear that self-evident truth that what they are claiming, demanding, promoting and fighting for is by nature unnatural and abnormal?
However, I agree with their accusation from one perspective; and that is yes, I am afraid of any lifestyle, orientation, preference or behavior that threatens that very survival of the human race. Could it be that the homosexual harbor an unspoken heterosexualphobia? Heterosexual never attempt to impose itself on society nor does it need to fight for or recognition any defense.
The lifestyle of homosexuality and all the other names and labels it has come to be described as, is as old as the biblical character Abraham, and was practiced by members of communities of his contemporary over four thousand years ago. Many of the minority who are still involved in this lifestyle seem to act as if this is a new cause for which they were born to fight for. In the early sixties some individuals in high profile positions in society began to venture out of what they called 'the closet' to expose themselves to the larger community as if to test the waters. The reaction from that time by the majority of the population was one of resistance and discomfort which still exist today despite the claims to the contrary.
This resistance has been so strong that those involved in the LGBT lifestyle changed their strategy for social acceptance from imposing by exposure demanding their social rights, and resorted to making the issue one of civil rights. It is interesting to note that after over 4000 years of the recorded existence of the this lifestyle and unnatural behavior the social resistance still exists and I'm sure will continue, no matter how social and so-called civic society attempts to disguise it socially acceptable attire. Nature will never disagree with itself and common or legislative law can ever change natural law.
I have with great disappointment stood on the balcony of history and watched with horror and shock the high-jacking and raping of what we have come to know as the Civil Rights Movements. What made it more distressing was to see many individuals who were actively involved in these historic resistance movements, abandoning the sacrifice of many who died for the noble causes of human dignity for the majority who were being abused, to use their blood to cover the demands of minority sectors of society to justify and civilize their selfish and unnatural preferences.
I have tasted the negative impact of civil oppression by a regime that devalued my humanity, but this was not because of a lifestyle I chose, or a behavior that was by orientation, or a disposition preferred, but rather a reality that was 'natural'. I was as victim of by inherent pigmentation……I was born black and had no choice in the matter. In The Bahamas I and my family along with the majority of the Bahamian population were discriminated against, devalued as humans, disenfranchised, and oppressed by a minority regime.
I have with all my logic and sought to understand, but still cannot equate the Philosophy, ideology or purpose for the Civil Rights movements with the agenda of the Homosexual LGBT community. I think the attempt to equate the historical Civil Rights movements with the demands for the right to dignify, glorify and accept as normal the practice of a lifestyle that could render the human race for which they sacrificed extinct, is illogical, dishonest, and is the abuse of the blood and imprisonment of many. It's a high jacking of the gains paid for by the blood of honorable men and women for an unnatural human-destroying behavior.
The fundamental principle of the Civil Rights movements was the freedom and restoration of the dignity and value of the Majority of an oppressed humanity. As a matter of fact, historically it was usually the imposition of the values, prejudices and inhumane ideology of the minority on the majority that was the context and source of oppression and devaluation of humanity. The context of the present LGBT movement could be considered in the same light where a small percentage and minority segment of the population are attempting to impose their unnatural ideology, values, morals and personal sexual preference on the common culture, moral convictions, standards and values of the Majority.
Perhaps, this could be considered the new 21st century regime of oppression. This idea seem to be further enforced by the encroaching influence and demands of globalization, the United Nations and other world bodies and agencies who have now conditioned their offer of national economic assistance to national social and cultural conformity that embraces moral and values-based compromises.
The most powerful and dangerous partner to deception is perception. The world of media is really about the business and management of perception. The power of the media cannot be calculated and must not be miscalculated or minimized in its impact for creating perception. This is why throughout history anytime there was a need to control the mental environment or to create a perceived reality, the use of the media has always been engaged as the critical tool in exporting, importing and disseminating deception. It is therefore important that in our modern democracy the demand for truth, transparency and objectivity in the media be a primary concern to all responsible citizen.
We must always be on our guard as civilly minded citizens to watch for the collective agenda and bias in the media. It has been my observation that in recent times the print and electronic media both nationally and internationally seem to favor the prominent and multiple placement, and preoccupation with stories that promote or glorifies this lifestyle. There seem to be many times and Imbalance of opinions and views. It is my hope that all media would make an effort to also publish the views of the majority.
There also seem to be the increase use of economic and political blackmail in the area of manipulation by the LGBT minority forces, which also includes an intentional smear campaign of the majority as bigots, human haters, intolerant, and bullies. This is a dishonest and grave misrepresentation of the facts. There is also the misuse of un-substantiated claims by the minority regarding changing trends and attitude to boost their own positions. This is incredible. In fact, there seem to be massive plague on intellectual, social and physiological and logical dishonesty. There is no conclusive scientific confirmations that verify claims that the minority who practice this lifestyle, that their condition is matter of biology or genetics rather than a habitual learned behavior which become a lifestyle they prefer.
Let us reiterate once again that the majority of the population in most countries throughout history and in our contemporary society, are not ignorant of the existence of abnormal behavior or unnatural preferences of the homosexual lifestyle. This lifestyle and behavior is really an old story with a new twist. What the majority does not appreciate is the dishonesty and deception that have been engaged by those who wish to impose their will on them. Every human has the right to choose his or her unnatural lifestyle, but must not demand that we accept it as natural. They are free to prefer any unnatural sexual orientation they desire or crave, but they must not, cannot and should not require that we the majority dignify it by promoting or glorifying it as normal. All the majority want are Honesty and the Freedom to express our concerns, opinion and positons without being labeled ignorant, intolerant, unsophisticated, or homophobic.
Homofacism rears its ugly head in Houston
Annise Parker, the lesbian lord mayor of Houston, Texas believes she can issue edicts to Houston Pastors who oppose her ludicrous " transgender bathroom" law. No, we don't want some revised, narrow scope subpoena, we want it entirely withdrawn! There exists ZERO justification for the government to make such a brazen anti-Christian demand on these pastors!

Chattanooga Pastor's balanced message on sexuality goes viral
Pastor Robby Gallanty of Chattanooga, TN didnt set out to create a viral video. He just wanted to equip his congregation with compassionate, but uncompromising truth. The message was part of his "True North" series. Like other messages, they posted it on the church website. The end result was an incredible message on sexuality from a Kingdom perspective. It has drawn predictable widespread condemnation from the progay critics and deep admiration from those who love truth and love what truth does when it is given from a pure heart. Watch for yourself.
Police: Bishop David Huskins dead from "tragic incident"
WGAA 1340 AM reported late yesterday that Bishop David Huskins was found dead in his home.
Polk County Police say they found Bishop David Huskins inside his home in the Meadow Lakes community late Monday afternoon. He was pronounced dead on the scene. According to Polk County Police Chief Kenny Dodd, detectives believe there was no foul play involved in the tragic incident.
Huskins sent out and email to followers July 10th saying that health concerns could remove him from ministry.
"It has been almost twenty years ago since I had open heart surgery to repair a hole in my heart that had become critical. That started a series of mostly ignored warnings to take care of my heart health. Then in November, I had a mild heart attack (if there is such a thing) and that put me on a path to great introspection of all the areas of my life I had not properly dealt with. I realized I had been in some active church leadership office or role all but the first twelve years of my entire life and even in those first twelve years I taught Sunday School for two years in the little country Baptist church near my home. While I am grateful for all the Lord has allowed me to do I knew sometimes I had let ministry be a substitute for God. I felt Him dealing with me to let go of areas and delegate and release and spend more time with Him and with people not just always in a pulpit. I had started that process much earlier with seeking to place others in charge of the church and! daily duties but still had not relinquished the active roles.
Then over the past few weeks I experienced Congestive Heart Failure twice which forced the cancellation of our annual conference and now I have been told medically I am at the point of complete exhaustion while still dealing with Chronic Congestive Heart Failure. After three nights in I C U and another two night regular hospital stay along with several follow up heart procedures and this past week a Transient Ischemic Attack (minor stroke) and the adaptations of all the medicines (which in some cases have been a nightmare on their own) and the on-going recovery process and having been admitted to bed rest, I am now forced to make some significant and important changes immediately. Even though I have been feeling it and talking about it for a couple of years. The next 90 days minimal will be intensive times of physical therapy and monitoring both heart and neck arteries and avoiding the threat of another heart attack or stroke. Medically over twenty percent of people who ! experience a TIA have a full stroke within ninety days. TIAs are viewed as a warning unless used as a precaution. I am submitting to the precaution.
As most of you know I wrote over a year ago about the need for many of us to take a break, get counsel, seek a sabbatical or otherwise make changes. We even held a January Conference around that concept. I put a plan in place for a sabbatical or even a succession plan. We discussed many of these subjects but I then returned quickly to the rigors of ministry. Now it is medically required and physically necessary for me to adapt. Much of the battle and recovery is dealing with all the side effects and issues of the medicines I am on as well as the physical long term recovery. The truth is however the need for a real sabbatical is long over due. The effects of this mini-stroke and the medicines along with the energy lost from the congestive heart failures keep me very confused, often times unable to articulate my thoughts clearly and then also all the physical limits and battles. I am thankful that they say all that is temporary and will be over in time."
While serving as head of the International Communion of Charismatic Churches, Huskins became ensnared in the controversy surrounding homosexual former Bishop Jim Swilley. Huskins sent GCMW an email and placed a public statement repuidiating Swilley, but soon after removed the public statement and denied he'd ever sent an email to us. GCM Watch reported on Bishop Huskins here and here.
Notable Quotes: Voddie Baucham
Rev. Voddie Bauchum, pastor of preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, Texas responding to the debauchery of gay pride parades: "The homosexual community is NOT filled with people who are just like everyone else. Their proclivity for depraved behavior is farther down the Romans 1 slippery slope than most. And, unlike the rest of us sinners, they have parades to celebrate and demand the embrace of their depravity. THAT is the difference! For all you Christians who continue to ask, "why do we treat THIS sin differently?" let this be your answer. This and the fact that 1) this sin is one of the few labeled as an abomination, 2) this sin is the only one judged with fire and brimstone, 3) this sin has the unique privilege of blaspheming the very image of God, the nature of man, and the relationship between Christ and his church, and 4) this sin is one of the only ones with a public agenda designed to promote it's acceptance and punish the biblical view of it's sinfulness."
The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done. Isaiah 9:9-11 NIV

Should games involving mock shooting and guns be banned?
Image: via ShutterstockIn what seems to be a case of "boys will be boys, but rules are rules", two 6-year-old boys were suspended from school for pretending their fingers were guns and play-shooting, according to NY Daily News. The boys' parents have reacted to the suspensions with disgust, calling the punishment excessive, suggesting that teachers should rather have used the incident to educate the boys and their classmates about inappropriate behaviour.No more toy guns?Schools and parents in the US are understandably jittery in the aftermath of several shooting incidents, including mass killings at schools, and the availability of firearms is a hot topic. In SA, deaths as a result of gunshot wounds are common enough for locals to join in that same debate. Few would trivialise the gravity of the problem. One question which many parents are asking themselves, though, is "should my child be playing with toy guns?".Most toy shops and even supermarkets carry a range of toy guns. Some are garishly colourful waterpistols, others replicas of genuine makes of firearms. There are pellet guns, potato guns and cap guns. There are even pink guns "for girls" and little plastic assault rifles. Toy guns appear to be central to the childhood of many kids.Some parents are completely opposed to guns forming part of play, though. Given that your child may come across a real weapon which has been left unsecured at a friend's house or even at school and attempt to play with it, this opposal is understandable. Gun owners, however, respond that the issue is responsibility and the right to self-protection. Yet another twist in the debate is the portrayal of gun-based violence in movies and video games, and the theory that this can mislead children into underestimating the dangers of handling weapons.The days of cowboys and indians and cops and robbers games seem numbered- society is painfully aware of the reality of violence- but does playing with a toy gun as a child have any impact on the development of the child? What do you think?Should toy guns be banned?

Film Daily lists Basil Wrangell as the film's editor, but this credit is probably an error. The film received a "Best Art Direction" Academy Award nomination at the 1932-33 ceremonies. The title on the viewed print of this film was Strange Skirts. In 1941, Robert Z. Leonard directed Joan Crawford, Robert Taylor and Greer Garson in an M-G-M remake of Rachel Crothers' story. Apparently M-G-M changed the title of the 1933 film to Strange Skirts to avoid confusion with its own remake. On June 11, 1952, a third version of Crothers' play, directed by Alex Segal and starring Patricia Morison and Richard Carlson, was broadcast on the ABC television network.

This air freshener is too good to be true, but it IS true! Most of us know how our menfolk can sure stink up the bathroom! A few sprays of the Lemon Verbena air freshener and five minutes later it's as though "nothing ever happened". It completely neutralizes the unpleasant odor instead of trying to cover it up like other air fresheners. And to be honest, floral sprays mingled with bathroom odors are horrible too! Lucky for me the Lemon Verbena totally eliminates bad odors and clears the air. Love this stuff!!

I´m thinking about making an additional character on Deathwish for some extra PvP goodness, how is it ?
Do you lose all your inventory if you die or just one random item? Money?
Or is everything which is not in the bank gone? I read somewhere mounts can be stolen too?
Is there a chance to lose equipped items as well?

Don't be afraid to play on Deathwish. Best times will be on tortage. Go to White Sands, Acheronian Ruins and engage with different classes so you can get a feel of how 1v1 class v class works. You will find ( if you are like me ) some players who are in all blues and around level 19 who stay and play in Tortage as long as they can.
After Tortage on Deathwish the population will decline (in comparison to Set) as most of the population beyond tortage is at 80 and the main zones will more or less be void of players and if there are some ... there's a big chance they will be higher level than you.
Once an assasin was stealthing while I was killing a boss on White Sands and he popped out and killed me. I hunted down that assasin till I could kill him at least once. He was probably a far better PvPer than me but hey it was fun just hunting him down. I also waited around in Acheronian Ruins once ... and killed any person who tried to go to kill the Bat Demon. It was a different kind of fun to see players run away as I would sit atop that wall in my Pictish Mask waiting for anyone who would be foolish enough to cross my path. Actually I was waiting for a group of lowbies come and kill me off. That would have been the correct PvP thing to do.
Sadly all that ended after Tortage since the population was pretty low at that period. I heard it's surging up again so go check it out. Don't rush leveling out of Tortage there. It is so much fun and you cant return after you've left.

Water Softener Operating & Maintenance Instructions: here we provide an owner's guide to water softener controls, what they are, what they do, how to set them - for water softener or water conditioner maintenance, including water softener adjustment of the regeneration or backwash cycle frequency and the water softener salt dose.
We explain the salt dose, regen cycle, hardness setting, and brine tank float level adjustment. We also discuss setting the water softener timer or clock.

Homeowner's Guide to Water Softener Settings & Adjustments - how to set the water softener controls
Article Series Contents
[Click to enlarge any image or table]
Four Basic Adjustments or Tasks Necessary to Use a Water Softener
Because the hardness and volume of water used both vary from one building to another, a water softener or water conditioner includes controls that allow the installer or building occupants to adjust the system to work properly.
Water conditioner or water softener controls typically include either analog-type dials with pins, buttons, or levers (control at left)( or electronic controls operated by pushbuttons (discussed later in this article at Electronic Water Softener Controls).
The two principal adjustments on any water softener, whether they are done manually by an owner or automagically by water hardness sensors, are listed below, followed by two basic maintenance chores.
Clock Settings for a Water Softener
How to Set the Water Softener Clock & Regeneration Cycle Frequency
Because water conditioners and their controls vary among manufacturers and models, below we discuss several methods for determining and actually making the necessary settings or adjustments on this equipment. And there is a third maintenance task for building owners who have a water conditioner: setting the clock
Guide to Setting the water softener controls: Our photo above shows the standard controls on a water softener, permitting the user to specify the days on which a recharge/backwash cycle will occur, the salt dose, and also the time of day.
Question: Where is the "Clock" on my water softener and how do I set it?
Extremely well written and done !! Thank you. But, i still can not identify my softener system or control clock. It was here when i bought the house. Is there anywhere some pictures identifying different controllers. firstname.lastname@example.com
Bugrubert, you are welcome to send me photos of the equipment and all labels you can find including inside the control cover - use the email address found at the CONTACT link shown at the top, left, and bottom of all of our web pages.
On dial type (non LED or LCD type display) water softeners or conditioners, you may not see a dial that looks like a clock with hands. In the water conditioner control photos below, from left to right,
Water Softener Control Adjustment Procedure Details - 6 Easy Steps to Soft Water
Watch out: follow the instructions in the right maintenance manual for your own equipment. And in the salt dose table, don't confuse kg of salt (numbers in the table body) with kilograins of water hardness (numbers in table column 1).
Also, remember this setting is adjusting only the salt dose, not the frequency of regeneration cycle.
Another Approach to Water Conditioner Settings for Salt Dose & Regeneration Frequency
If you don't have a manual and can't find instructions for your unit, (and don't want to call a qualified service technician) leave the salt dose alone, then send the softener through a regeneration cycle and measure the hardness of your water again.
Then monitor water hardness on the days between your regen cycle and the next automatic regen cycle, during a period of your best guess at average water quantity use. If your water shows unacceptable hardness before another softener regen, you'll need to increase the frequency of regeneration cycle.
Typical frequencies for manually-set water softener regeneration as a starting point are are once a week, once every 3 or 4 days, every other day, and daily. If you are running the system daily and water is still too hard you may need to increase the salt dose. But don't overdo the salt or you may have salty water - a health and aesthetic issue.
Subjective judgment of water hardness:
It's best to measure the hardness of your water - kits are inexpensive or some services will perform the test at no charge.
If you can't get a lather using shampoo on your head in the shower, either you're bald, or the water is still pretty hard. If your water feels slimy and you have trouble rinsing off soap, your water might be more soft than necessary (though other problems can also cause this symptom).
Water Softener or Water Equipment Adjustment Tip: Most water treatment companies will be glad to send a representative to your building to test water hardness (or other contaminants) and to advise you on the condition and settings of the water treatment equipment you have in place, or to suggest alternatives if you are shopping.
Regeneration Cycle Frequency on Water Softeners
How Often does the Water Softener Need to Run a Backwash & Regeneration or "Recharge" Cycle?
Your water softener manufacturer will provide a Salt Dosage/Frequency Chart along with the softener's installation and maintenance instructions.
A water softener recharge frequency and salt dose example is provided by Culligan:, "If four individuals live in the household, and the water has a total hardness of 18 grains per gallon, the salt dosage per recharge for the water conditioner will be 5 pounds (2.5 kg) and the recharge frequency will be 3 (or every 2 days). Monthly salt usage can be estimated, using these figures, at about 75 pounds (37.5 kg).
IBC in Australia provides this simple formula that can calculate the regeneration cycle for a water softener if you know all of the required parameters:
Number of Days Between Water Softener Regeneration Cycles = N
Maximum capacity of the treatment tank in grams of CaCO3 or NaCL = C
Volume of water passing through the treatment tank per day = Q (Kiloliters per day) or (Gallons per day)
Hardness of the incoming water measured in micrograms/Liter (mg/L) or in PPM = H
N = C / (H x Q)
This should be taken only as a rough calculation - set your backwash frequency to this number of days or less.
Water softener regeneration cycle frequency vs. cycle duration time
Above we discussed the frequency of water softener regeneration cycles: how often the equipment should run through a regeneration cycle.
Frequency of water softner regeneration is not the same question as duration of the regeneration cycle.
See WATER SOFTENER RUNS TOO LONG for a discussion of abnormally-long water softener regeneration cycle time duration.
Recommended Settings for Water Softeners
So What Settings Should I Use on My Water Softener?
How to Set the Water Softener Salt Dose
Question: What salt dose should I use on my water softener?
I have a Autotrol 460i water softer. The water hardness going into my house measures 10. What settings do I need set in order to create water hardness setting out of my faucets to read around 1or 2? - Walter Schwartz
Reply: The salt dose for your water conditioner depends on some variables. Here is an example and a water softener salt dose table for reference
Some water conditioners (water softeners) automagically track water quantity usage and water hardness and adjust themselves without you having to do a thing. But lots of models require a manual adjustment based on water hardness and water quantity used.
The necessary water softener settings depend not just on water hardness but on your brand and model of water softener equipment and how much water you are using. Here are some remarks about setting the salt dose and regen frequency on a water softener:
Most water softener owners manuals include a table of recommended settings. Start there. If you don't have an owner's manual call the manufacturer's tech service and give them the model number and ask for a manual as well as their setting advice.
Water Softener "Hardness Setting"
Here is a copy of the manual for your Autotrol Water Conditioning Control System, Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual. On this water conditioner you can specify the time of regeneration (factory is set to 2:00 AM) to be sure it's running at a time when you are not using water in the building. Here are instructions on adjusting the hardness setting for this equipment: [Quoting]
Note: We have tried to translate these mysterious and unclear instructions into understandable English, at Water Softener Control Adjustment Procedure Details so CONTACT us with suggestions.
Like some other advanced water conditioners on the market, the control module for the Autotrol water softener includes a microprocessor that monitors your level of water usage, adjusting the regeneration cycle accordingly.
How to Set the Water Softener Salt Dosage
Complete details about adjusting the water softener salt dose are found in these separate explanations:
Excerpts summarizing water softener salt use are just below.
Water softener brine control or salt dose and regeneration cycle frequency as well as other settings vary depending on the type of water softener control on your machine. But the basic concept remains the same:
[Click to enlarge any image]
Set the water softener recharge frequency: your water softener's instructions will tell you how often the system should be recharged as a function of your estimated daily water usage in gallons.
Water Softener Electronic Control Setting Procedure
Question: How do I set the Water Softener Controls on a Sears Kenmore Electronic Unit?
My water conditioner is a Kenmore model that uses an electronic control rather than dials, levers and pins. How do I set that control?
To set a Kenmore water conditioner electronic control try these basic steps. If these instructions don't match your unit contact us by email with your brand and model number and we'll help you find those instructions. [18]
As we detail at DETECT HARD WATER, it's easy to see if your water softener is doing anything by using one of several water hardness tests including the strips shown at left. Or you may suspect a problem if you are no longer able to get your shampoo to lather when taking a shower.
If your water softener is not working, see DIAGNOSE WATER SOFTENER PROBLEMS.
Additional water softener diagnosis and repair questions and answers are at WATER SOFTENER DIAGNOSTIC FAQs
Also see Water Softener Bypass Valve for details how to put the water softener temporarily out of service.
Separately at INSTALLATION of WATER SOFTENERS we discuss how this equipment should be installed.
At SALT OR WATER INTO SEPTIC we discuss the importance of using the proper settings that control water softener operation, and performing proper water softener maintenance will assure that the water softener is effective in treating hard water, it will avoid wasting water, and if a private septic system is installed it will significantly reduce the chances that a septic system will be damaged by flooding or by excessive salt due to water softener malfunction.
At REDUCE IMPACT of SOFTENER on SEPTIC we provide suggestions for reducing the impact of water softeners on septic systems. Below we provide the details of how to adjust and maintain a residential or light commercial water softener for proper operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question: how full should I keep the water conditioner salt tank?
How full should I keep my salt tank? - Linda
We fill the salt tank to near the top but not so full that salt falls into the float tube. For details about adjusting the rate at which your water softener actually uses salt, see SOFTENER ADJUSTMENT & CONTROLS . Also within that article take a look at How Much Salt to Use in a Water Softener.
Question: Can we Use Water in the House During the Water Softener Regen Cycle?
I have heard that while the recycling is taking place you cannot run your water or take a bath. Is this true, and if so why, Second, about how long should the recycling take place before it completes its cycle - Dan
We should distinguish between can you and should you run water during a water softener regen-cycle. It is absolutely physically possible - so you can. But the water you receive will not be treated by your water conditioner or water softener - as during softener regen cycle the house water supply will "bypass" the softener.
So while I wouldn't hesitate to run some water during a water conditioner regen period, for example to flush a toilet if needed, it's better to avoid running water if you can, especially hot water where a tankless coil or tankless water heater is installed - because the un-treated water will be higher in mineral content and over time, depending on the amount run, you risk clogging up water supply piping.
Bottom line: If you need to take a shower, or run water for other uses during a water softener regen cycle, go ahead. But regular consumption of large volumes of water during the regen cycle are likely to speed up mineral clogging of pipes, especially hot water piping or a tankless coil.
Question: Culligan HE (with aquasensor), 9" model
Hi, I have a Culligan HE (with aquasensor), 9" model (1 cu ft of resin). The board on the control unit does all the calculations for salt dosage and even has default settings for backwash time, brine draw-rinse and fast-rinse times based on the hardness value I input (around 14 GPG in our city). The current (default) settings for backwash, brine draw-rinse and fast-rinse for 14 GPG is 5 min, 62 min, and 5 min, respectively.
I want to ensure that enough time is set to a) backwash to clear the resin bed of any debris without fluidizing the resin and losing media, b) rinse out any excess regenerant solution (fast-rinse) and I am concerned that 5 mins for backwash and 5 min for fast-rinse is not sufficient. Can you recommend a better setting? We are currently set to Proportional Brining and both our flow meter and aqua-sensor can trigger regen. Thanks! - Julie 9/15/12
Julie, forgive me for not understanding, but if you know the water hardness and are using that input and then selecting the manufacturer's recommended settings, I'm unclear why you'd want to make a change - are you using recommended settings but seeing a problem?
Question: Ecowater Softener and Filter system large backwash quantities
I have an Ecowater Softener and Filter system. Both units use an incredible amount of water to backwash. I am on a very undependable well and every gallon counts. Can you collect and use backwash water rather than wasting it? Is the backwash water contaminated or salinated to the point where it could damage crops or flowers? - Ed 10/10/2012
I suspect it's a bad idea and that the salt level will be a bit high for watering plants, but I will research the question and update this Q&A. Meanwhile check your water hardness against the water conditioner regen settings to be sure you ar not wasting water unnecessarily.
