There's been way too much TOMfoolery going on on my dash in the last few days… So I thought I'd balance it out with some other men. For science of course…
Firstly, the purpose of this science post:
Let's start with Jason, and work from there.
Next, we have boy-next-door Ryan
Then, we move on to Mr Magic Mike Channing
Only to realise, we can't leave out the Wolverine
And we definitely can't forget Thor
Or Cap
As we near the end of this PSA, let's throw in some Superman
And last, but definitely not least, the king of shoulder to hip ratio and the prettiest Adonis Belt out there…..
Because science, I have to tag some of the usual suspects the-haven-of-fiction ladyoftheteaandblood angryschnauzer beaglebitch shoshi-miriam ancientfinnishgoddess dragonslikesmaug ET EL tag on
Lots of gestures and smiles during an interview….
Okay so basically I unfollowed a bunch of unactive blogs. Now I need new blog to follow. You don't have to follow me, but remember you can always drop by to say Hi :) So reblog if you post about:
I follow NSFW blogs, so I'm not bothered by it.
But please if you ship het couples do not follow me, I'm really not into that.

Port Authority Delays Vote On Role In 3 WTC Rebuilding
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Port Authority is delaying a vote on 3 World Trade Center to allow time to reach a deal that involves more private funding.
A World Trade Center subcommittee met Wednesday before deciding on the postponement.
The agency continues to negotiate with developer Larry Silverstein on financing for the completion of the tower.
It's seeking a deal with more private financing so it does not have to guarantee a $1 billion loan that Silverstein is seeking.
Last month Port Authority board members were deeply split over what role the agency should have, and whether it should be involved in what one member called a speculative real estate project.
Port Authority board member Kep Lipper said the agency has already invested nearly $8 billion at the World Trade Center site.
"I have been holding up my hand and saying enough, the public sector has done enough," Lipper told WCBS 880's Peter Haskell. "I think we'll have sufficient votes to defeat the proposal. If the vote is no, as I believe it will be, the developer will have a clarification that there is no more available at the public trough."
Lipper believes the agency should be focusing on projects that benefit the public, not private developers.
Silverstein supporters on the board believe the Port Authority's backing will ensure the project is built, Haskell reported.
Calls to Silverstein Properties and a key company backer of the Port Authority were not returned.

If the Dems want to be players instead of complaining about political hegemony, they need to put forth concrete proposals and how they will be funded. Until then they look more like timid boo-birds.

Behind the MVP-winning performance of former BYU outside hitter Taylor Sander, Team USA won the FIVB men's volleyball world league championship by a score of 31-29, 21-25, 25-20, 25-23 over Brazil in Florence, Italy, on Sunday.
Sander, a rookie on the world league, produced 22 spikes and two blocks to lead all scorers with 24 points.
The Americans became one of just four nations to win multiple titles after winning in 2008, while Brazil lost in the finals for the second straight year.

Houston's Double-A affiliate scored 12 times against Springfield on eight hits and five walks in the sixth frame to coast to a 20-9 win at Whataburger Field. The 12 runs set a franchise record for runs in an inning and the 20 tallies were the most the Hooks had ever put together in an entire game.
"It was crazy," said Hooks shortstop Ben Orloff, who finished 5-for-5 with four RBIs and three runs scored and missed the cycle by a homer. "We were almost laughing in the dugout, because I don't think any one of us has ever been involved in an inning quite like that. It's just one of those moments when everything seemed to be going our way."
Corpus Christi entered the frame down, 6-4, and the Hooks spotted the visitors an out on Jair Fernandez's leadoff groundout.
Orloff responded with a double, which was followed two consecutive singles and three straight walks -- the last coming with the bases loaded. Sandwiched in between that run were two wild pitches that allowed two runs to score, giving the Hooks four tallies before they recorded their next out.
Pinch-hitter Bobby Borchering struck out as a pinch-hitter to break up the run, but Fernandez's bases-loaded free pass kept the carousel turning for the fifth tally. Then it was Orloff's turn again.
"You just try to keep the same approach," he said. "Even though you're batting for the second time, all I'm trying to do is get guys home."
The 25-year-old did just that. He tripled to clear the bags, followed by three consecutive doubles by Enrique Hernandez, Austin Wates and Robbie Grossman. Andrew Simunic's RBI single closed out the scoring before Jonathan Singleton flied out to end the inning after 16 total batters came to the plate.
Although the 12 runs marked a season-high tally for the Hooks, Orloff -- whose five hits on the night tied a franchise record -- said the team has shown confidence at the plate.
"We scored 11 times in an inning last week [on Aug. 4], so we kind of knew we had it in us," said the shortstop. "But it's still always fun when something like this happens."
The night's scoring still wasn't complete. The Cardinals posted three runs in the top of the eighth, and the Hooks responded once more with four in the bottom half of the inning. Three came via a homer by Singleton -- the Astros' top prospect also went deep in the first.
The first baseman finished 2-for-5 with four RBIs, three runs scored and one walk. He is 6-for-15 with three homers and nine RBIs in his last three games.
"Yeah, he's good," Orloff said of Singleton. "He's a great middle-of-the-lineup bat for us and his power, it's impressive. That second homer was just a crazy line drive all the way to the bullpen in left-center. It's fun to watch him hit in batting practice and in games like tonight."
Cardinals shortstop Greg Garcia tripled, doubled and four RBIs. First baseman Xavier Scruggs added three RBIs and scored twice.

Killing Hope: Why Israel Targets Sports in Gaza
Attacking sports is about killing hope. Israel's total war, underwritten by the United States, is a war not only on Hamas or military installations but on the idea that life can ever be so carefree in Gaza as to involve play, reports Dave Zirin.
Middle East Online
Let's start with a fact. On November 16, the Israeli Air Force bombed the 10,000-seat Palestine Stadium "into ruins." The stadium also headquartered the center for youth sports programs throughout the Gaza Strip. This is the second time Israel has flattened the facility. The first was in 2006 and the people of Gaza have spent the last six years rebuilding the fields, stands, and offices to keep the national soccer team as well as club sports alive in the region.
I'm sure the reaction to this fact will depend on what side people take in the current conflict. For the Israeli government and their supporters, they promised "collective punishment" following the Hamas rockets fired over the border and they are delivering "collective punishment." Matan Vilnai, deputy defense minister of Israel has in the past threatened a "holocaust" and Gilad Sharon, son of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, called for Gaza to be the new "Hiroshima." In this context, a sports facility must seem like little more than target practice.
For those attending daily demonstrations against the carnage, this news of a stadium's destruction must also be seen as an irrelevancy. After all according to The Wall Street Journal, 90 Palestinians, including 50 civilians, have been killed in Gaza. 225 children are among the more than 700 injured and these numbers are climbing. Israeli ground troops are massing at the border and President Obama can only bring himself to defend Israel without criticism. There is only so much concern for a stadium people can be expected to muster.
I think however that we should all take a moment to ask the question, "Why?" Why has the Palestinian sports infrastructure, not to mention Palestinian athletes, always been a target of the Israeli military? Why has the Palestinian domestic soccer league only completed seven seasons since its founding in 1977? Why are players commonly subjected to harassment and violence, not to mention curfews, checkpoints, and all sorts of legal restrictions on their movement? Why were national team players Ayman Alkurd, Shadi Sbakhe and Wajeh Moshate killed by the Israeli Defense Forces during the 2009 military campaign? Why did imprisoned national team player Mahmoud Sarsak require a hunger strike, the international solidarity campaign of Amnesty International, and a formal protest from both FIFA and the 50,000-player soccer union FIFpro to just to win his freedom after three years behind bars?
The answer is simple. Sports is more than loved in Gaza (and it is loved.) It is an expression of humanity for those living under occupation. It's not just soccer and it's not just the boys. Everyone plays, with handball, volleyball, and basketball joining soccer as the most popular choices. To have several thousand people gather to watch a girls sporting event is a way of life. It's a community event designed not only to cheer those on the field, but cheer those in the stands. As one Palestinian man from Gaza said to me, "[Sports] is our time to forget where we are and remember who we are."
Attacking the athletic infrastructure is about attacking the idea that joy, normalcy, or a universally recognizable humanity could ever be a part of life for a Palestinian child. This is a critical for Israel both internationally and at home. The only way the Israeli government and its allies can continue to act with such brazen disregard for civilian life is if they convince the world that their adversaries collectively are less than human. The subway ads calling Muslims "savages," the Islamophobic cartoons and videos that are held up as examples of free speech, are all part of a quilt that says some deaths are not to be mourned.
At home, attacking sports is about nothing less than killing hope. Israel's total war, underwritten by the United States, is a war not only on Hamas or military installations but on the idea that life can ever be so carefree in Gaza as to involve play. The objective instead is to hear these words of a young girl outside Al Shifa Hospital on November 18 who said, "To the world and people: Why should we be killed and why shouldn't we have a normal childhood? What did we do to face all this?"
If you play, you can dream. If you dream, you are imagining a better world. As the great Olympian Wilma Rudolph said, "Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. The potential for greatness lives within each of us." Nothing marks the nihilism of Israel's project quite like this fact: They don't want the people of Gaza to dream. In the eyes of Benjamin Netanyahu, they are only worthy of nightmares.

Hotels in New York City
People are still buzzing about the "new Brooklyn," where each artisan establishment seems to out-craft the next. And the Wythe—near the Williamsburg riverfront—has become the crown jewel of the borough's renaissance.
mar 17Stylish and compact, this former members-only club is a well-designed secret among midtown hotels. The 65 smallish rooms have combed-plaster walls, chocolate-marble showers, and Honduran mahogany accents; TV's placed behind two-way mirrors are clever space-savers.
Who would stock a Manhattan mini-bar with a harmonica and furnish a bathroom with denim bathrobes?
The Palm Court's famed stained-glass ceiling was re-created pane-for-pane with the help of New York City's Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Built in 1904 and still gleaming, this Beaux-Arts beauty is a well-polished monument to old New York.
London's Firmdale Group brings the spirit of Soho to a cobblestoned lane in the other SoHo.
Located on 29th Street in a historic building dating back to 1904, the Ace Hotel rises 12 stories above Midtown Manhattan. The hotel boasts 260 guest rooms, many of which have vintage furniture and views of Broadway.
The 149-room Kitano hotel could not have a better location for business or leisure travelers. It is on Park Avenue in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood, close to top sites such as the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Broadway, and hundreds of shops and restaurants.
Situated between Lincoln Center and Central Park, this hotel has 422 units, all of which have floor-to-ceiling windows to let in the best views. Although somewhat small, guest rooms are comfortable with with rich earth tones, brass accents, and subtle animal prints.
The sight (and, it must be said, smell) of carriage horses greets you as you enter this 33-story, limestone-fronted building on the southern edge of Central Park. Transformed from the St.
Formerly the headquarters of the National Maritime Union, this Chelsea boutique hotel is housed in a 12-story white building lined with row after row of porthole windows.
Hoteliers Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode—the team behind New York's Maritime Hotel—are breathing new life into Manhattan's once-desolate Bowery with their 135-room Bowery Hotel.

Topic: Diseases and Disorders, Wildflowers
Title: Native Annual Plant Substitute for Impatiens
Answered by: Anne Van Nest
QUESTION:What can be used as an annual flowering plant to substitute for the diseased impatiens? Is Vinca one you would suggest?
The disease that is causing trouble for the cultivated garden impatiens (Impatiens walleriana) in at least 33 states is downy mildew. There's a good article in ScienceNews, the online magazine explaining the downy mildew problem on impatiens. There are no native vincas to suggest as substitutes, but there are several native annual flowering plants for you to consider. Some will bloom better with more sun.
To find an annual native plant substitute, the first place to go to find a list of potential plants is our Native Plant Database. Use the Combination Search feature instead of Recommended Species. This will provide a bigger selection with much more choice to narrow down. The volunteers and staff at the Wildflower Center who maintain the database have partners in different regions to help with these recommended species lists based on what is easy to access in local nurseries.
Under Combination Search, select the following categories: Habit – herbaceous, Duration – annual, Light requirement – part shade or shade, Soil moisture – moist, height 0-3 ft.
Some of the impatiens substitution possibilities include:
Bidens cernua (nodding beggartick) yellow blooms August – October.
Capsicum annuum (chile pequin) white flowers followed by small green fruit turning red when ripe. Hot, edible fruit.
Geranium viscosissimum (sticky purple geranium) purple/pink blooms May to August.
Mimulus bicolor (yellow and white monkeyflower) yellow blooms April to June.
Nemophila maculata (fivespot) white blooms with purple spots from April to July.
Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed Susan) yellow daisy-like blooms from June to October.
Salvia coccinea (scarlet sage) white, pink or red blooms February to October.
Tinantia anomala (false dayflower) white, blue or purple flowers from March through May.

text: Benefits Rate of Poverty Among Seniors Increased By Rebecca Moore firstname.lastname@example.com | April 25, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article April 25, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Between 2005 and 2009, the rate of poverty among American seniors rose as they aged. The number of new entrants into poverty also increased during this time, according to a report by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). Poverty rates fell in the first half of the last decade for almost all age groups of older Americans (ages 50 and older), though they increased since 2005 for every age group. Poverty rates, as defined by U.S. Census poverty thresholds, were highest for the oldest of the elderly. Almost 15% of those older than age 85 were in poverty in 2009, compared with approximately 10.5% of those older than 65, EBRI found. Additionally, in 2009, 6% of those age 85 older were new entrants in poverty. According to Sudipto Banerjee, EBRI research associate and author of the report: "As people age, personal savings and pension account balances are depleted, and as people age, their medical expenditures tend to increase. Also, the rising poverty rates noted correspond to the two economic recessions that occurred during the last decade."

Heather Hood, D.W.S., Gamma 2003
I recently returned from the June 2015 IWS Worship Seminar and am feeling energized for ministry in ways that I was not expecting. I should have known that would happen considering all that I gained from studying at IWS. But when I am away from the IWS environment for a period of time, I forget the power of the IWS experience: having my mind and spirit deeply enriched; growing in my understanding of worship and the world; being inspired by what I see/hear/experience; catching a glimpse of the work of God in people and faith communities from around the world; being surrounded by folks like me, who are seeking to understand God more and live that out in meaningful ways as we minister in the Church. It's like having a blood transfusion for life and ministry at a fuller and richer level!
Thanks to Mark Labberton for stretching and challenging us with a broader perspective of worship and how it can truly transform lives, to Kent Walters for organizing all of the details, and to IWS for providing these opportunities for alumni to remain not only connected to the school, but empowered for our work in the Kingdom.
Evie Martinez, D.W.S., Delta 2005
We are full-time missionaries in the Spanish-speaking world. After years of ministering to worship leaders and pastors in Latin America and Spain, I now raise our grandson as my husband travels the world. Moving from Georgia to Washington State has made it more difficult to get back to IWS. But, when I received an email from Kent Walters announcing the seminar and my 10th year class reunion, my husband immediately said, "You should go."
My expectations were high in returning to IWS. I can truly say that it was all I expected, wanted and more. It represented a huge boost in every area of my life bringing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual renewal. Upon arrival, I was met with a huge welcome. I felt that every person was a member of my family even though I had not yet met many of them. I found it hard to sing in the first chapel service. I had tears of joy running down my face. It was like being in heaven hearing the angels sing to God Almighty. I know that most of you know what I am talking about.
The seminar with Dr. Mark Labberton was exceptional. He stretched me in areas that hadn't been visited in a while. The entire time was blessing on top of blessing for me. To sum up my experience back at IWS, I would have to say it was the best booster shot I could have imagined. Bottom line, I would encourage all alumni to make time to get recharged for ministry by coming to an IWS seminar and spending time with fellow graduates. It will be by far the best investment you could ever make.

Labberton seminar reflections
Seminar description and overview
What time is it? We ask this question frequently. Knowing the time gets us to work on time; it shapes our decisions, and determines our activities. Knowing what time it is will also help us gain spiritually edifying insights. Take, for example, Luke's account of Zechariah's encounter with the angel of the Lord in the temple of Jerusalem at the time that Herod, king of Judea, did Rome's bidding in that region (Luke 1:5-25, NIV Study Bible 2011). The text is as follows: (vs. 8-10)
Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. And when the time for burnt offering of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.
We then learn of Zechariah's startling encounter with the angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense. The angel calmed Zechariah's frightened soul and said:
Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. . . . He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Here are a few observations:
The answer is No! For it is the Day of Atonement, the 10th of Tishri, the day when the High Priest and the Israelites follow the Lord's prescriptions found in Leviticus 23:26-32 (see also Lev. 16:2-34 and Numbers 29:7-11). On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, Zechariah's duty centered on praying for the atonement of Israel's sins.
So what of Zechariah's prayer? The angel announced that God has heard the prayer. But it is the context, the timing of it all, which helps us see how God answered Zechariah's prayer. Consider the following:
With these insights in mind, now consider Luke's narrative. Following the angel's announcement to Zechariah, we learn of the angel's announcement to Mary. That took place in the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy (Luke 1:26ff).
As Mary absorbs the news from the angel, she decides to visit Zechariah and Elizabeth. No wonder, for the angel had told Mary that Elizabeth was pregnant. And that was a wonder. So Mary hurries to visit her distant relatives. What happens?
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in Elizabeth's womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, blessing Mary and the child that Mary would bear. How marvelous! It was not at the beginning of Jesus' public ministry that John announced "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world."
Talk about child labor. John began his work of announcing the Savior while being formed in the womb of his mother, Elizabeth. John did the jumping, alerting his mother; his mother did the Spirit-filled speaking. John's first act was a jump of joy. Then, years later, God moved John to trumpet the coming of the Messiah. God indeed had heard Zechariah's prayer—wondrously, in the fullness of His time, with precise timing.
When studying your Bible, and preparing your sermons and liturgies, keep on asking, "What time is it?"]]>
The late theologian and ethicist Stanley Grenz was a good friend of IWS. While his wife Edna worked on her doctorate at IWS, which she received in 2005, he would hang out on campus with us, eating meals, coming to chapel, sitting in classes. He was our first alumni seminar speaker. At Bob Webber's invitation, he gave the Presidential Address in 2003. In that memorable address he exclaimed, "Christian worship must be self-consciously Trinitarian and Christological." Sounds right, doesn't it? But what does it mean? I think perhaps Stan meant this: true Christian worship celebrates above all the Paschal mystery—the passion, death, resurrection and glorification of Christ—and in that celebration participates in the divine life of the Trinity. Being self-consciously Trinitarian embraces and even necessitates being self-consciously Christological. Let's explore this a bit.
Trinity Sunday is sometimes known as the preacher's nightmare. I was asked for the first time to preach in my home church on the preacher's nightmare Sunday! What can you say about the Trinity? It's a great mystery, right? I actually love Trinity Sunday, because it gives us the opportunity to contemplate the question, "Who is God?" The Trinity can be confusing; but it's not just a theological Rubik's Cube to be solved, rather it is THE summary statement of what we believe about who God is. [Read more. . .]

If you want a definition of ancient-future worship, it is this: the common tradition of the church's worship in Word, Table, and song, practiced faithfully and communicated clearly in every context of the world.

Seminar attendees were led by one who knows and lives the truth in the teaching during Mark Labberton's two-day seminar, "Worship That Shows and Matters."
Here are a few quotes from attendees:
Mark Labberton gave this response after his first time on campus at IWS:
What a privilege and joy to be at IWS! When students lean into the content and the community like they do at IWS, the learning experience is transformative. I highly commend it for faculty and student alike.
Two alumni shared what it was like for them to "come home" to IWS:
I just returned from the June 2015 IWS Worship Seminar and am feeling energized for ministry in ways that I was not expecting. I should have known that would happen considering all that I gained from studying at IWS. But when I am away from the IWS environment for a period of time, I forget the power of the IWS experience.

The God of Worship (Isaiah 40) [48:23]
Overview: Worship that is for and about God involves the right ordering of reality. If worship is our central purpose, then God is worship's author and audience. All worship takes its lead from the character and glory of God. Whatever our context, God is the origin and measure of our worship. In today's church cultures, this is a radically counter-cultural claim and the heart of various crises in the life and mission of the church.
Video clip from the session on Isaiah 40: "What Does it Mean to Give God Glory?"
Video clip from the session on Isaiah 40: "The Crisis of Worship"
Video clip from the session on Isaiah 40: "Addressing Injustice"
The Call of Worship (Psalm 8) [53:29]
Overview: Worship is our human vocation within the context of the whole created order. It is an encompassing and communal vocation that is meant to involve all dimensions of our lives and extend to all aspects of the world we inhabit. Worship is a life of paying attention.
Video clip from the session on Psalm 8: "Paying Attention"
The Freedom of Worship (Phil 2) [45:38]
Overview: The liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a freedom that moves us towards God, the people of God and the world. Our liturgies need to be tools that help such liberty become the environment that liberates us to love in relation to lives and places in which injustice, suffering, pain rather than justice, shalom, and hope rule.
Video clip from the session on Phil 2: "Evaluating Song Lyrics"
The Hope of Worship (Rev 21) [29:56]
Overview: The trajectory of worship points beyond this moment to a resurrected life and hope to which our worship testifies, practices and prepares us. This is not liturgical and ecclesiastical denial, but enactment. It shows in the sanctuary and it shows in the streets.
Mark Labberton reflects on his June 2015 experience at IWS:
What a privilege and joy to be at IWS! When students lean into the content and the community like they do at IWS, the learning experience is transformative. I highly commend it for faculty and student alike.
Ancient-future worship is not a gimmick or show or the latest adventure. There has been far too much "we need to start the church all over again" innovation since the late sixties. The church and its theology are not to be reinvented every generation. The church may need to be inspired, perhaps contextualized, but never trashed to start again.
-Robert E. Webber, Ancient-Future Worship: Proclaiming and Enacting God's Narrative (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2008), 167.
