Water Missions International expands its capacity to impact communities in Tanzania with sustainable, comprehensive safe water solutions by establishing a country program, Water Missions International - Tanzania.
The program, which is headquartered in Dar es Salaam, serves as the field office for all safe water projects within Tanzania and potential projects in surrounding nations. Tanzania is Water Missions International's 10th country program. The other countries served by Water Missions International country programs include Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Belize and Indonesia.
"Tanzania is a natural choice for Water Missions International to establish another country program," said Water Missions International founder and CEO George Greene III, PE, PhD. "It connects the geographic gap between our existing country programs in Africa, and also presents a great need for sustainable safe drinking water solutions that we feel Water Missions International is positioned to address."
The country provides a great opportunity for Water Missions International to expand its TradeWater program, a management model designed for communities that lack the necessary capacity to maintain a community-managed safe water solution. Solar-powered treatment systems will also be featured as they are the ideal solution for rural Africa.
"Our donors have expressed a deep desire to begin serving the people of Tanzania in a greater capacity, and the technology and treatment options we can bring are sustainable for their culture and environment," said Greene. "With the addition of Water Missions International - Tanzania, we will have the ability to provide more infrastructure and resources in Africa to continue expanding our work there. Additionally, there is great opportunity to continue to develop partnerships with other local non-governmental organizations and mission groups working in that area."
To establish a country program, Water Missions International looks for a great physical need for water and sanitation solutions, as well as availability of funding to facilitate a long-term commitment to the country by employing full-time native staff in country and providing ongoing support.
Water Missions International originally began work in Tanzania in 2002 with a community-based safe water project and has since provided engineering consultation. Currently the organization has three safe water projects in progress. The first shipment to Water Missions International - Tanzania will take place in the beginning of December and will include solar panels, pumps, treatment equipment and supplies to stock the program for projects.

Cover your position
2014-06-12 12:00:00
When it comes to DCTF coverboys, which positions have made it most often?
The 2014 Summer Edition
is coming soon!
The 2014 Summer Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football — the 55th annual edition of "the bible of Texas Football" — is coming soon! Here's what you need to know:
SUBSCRIBE: Are you a true Texas football fan? Become a DCTF Legends Member or a DCTF Champions Member! Not only will you get all of our magazines early — a week before they hit shelves — but you'll also get the exclusive content from DCTF, including 10 digital editions throughout the year!
ORDER NOW: Are you ready for some football? You can reserve your copy of the 2014 Summer Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football right now in the DCTF Store! Then, it'll get sent straight to you!
RELEASE DATE: The 2014 Summer Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football will hit shelves across Texas on Friday, June 20, though Legends and Champions members will get their copy early!
Perhaps you heard, but Dave Campbell's Texas Football has been in the news lately.
Last Friday, we revealed the cover of the 2014 Summer Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football, featuring Baylor coach Art Briles, quarterback Bryce Petty and wide receiver Antwan Goodley. It was a big deal. The news got picked up by media sources local and national, and for good reason: not only is the unveiling of the cover a big deal in Texas, but it's a big deal that Baylor is on it for the first time since 1975.
The 55th annual edition of "the bible of Texas football" hits shelves next week, but now that the cover has been revealed, it enters the rich tapestry that is the history of Texas Football. It's the 55th edition of the magazine, but it's technically the 57th cover of the magazine — the 1998 and 1999 editions each had two separate covers.
And that is a lot of history to deal with. The cover of Texas Football has featured some of the best and brightest figures in Lone Star State gridiron history, and it's always fun to take a look at the coverboys en masse, to give you a feel for just where this new cover fits the grand scheme of things.
Of particular interest today: positions. After all, we've got three different coverboys this year — a coach, a quarterback and a wide receiver — so how common is each position on the cover of the most prestigious football magazine in Texas?
We crunched the numbers, going over every cover in Texas Football history all the way back to 1960. We considered, for this study, the main focus of the cover — that is, the people most prominently featured. For example, if you look at this year's cover, we consider Briles, Petty and Goodley as coverboys this year, while Texas coach Charlie Strong — up in the top-right — would not count.
And one more thing: the 1995 cover, which features a collage of Southwest Conference greats? Yeah, we're just throwing that one out for the purposes of this study. It's cool, but doesn't really fit what we're going for here.
All clear? Here's what we came up with as far as positional breakdown:
|Running Back
|Defensive Lineman
|Wide Receiver
|Defensive Back
|Offensive Lineman
-The king of Cover Mountain, as you could've probably guessed, are the quarterbacks. They're most likely to be the star player on a team, so it should be no surprise that they've had more than their share of coverage on the cover. Petty is the first Baylor quarterback to grace the cover; meanwhile, we've featured eight Texas quarterbacks, seven Texas A&M signal-callers and five Texas Tech quarterbacks to lead the pack.
-Coaches come in next, and Briles becomes the fourth Baylor coach to make the cover. What's most interesting, to me at least, are the names you see more than once on this list: Mack Brown made it twice (1998 and 1999); so did RC Slocum (1993 and 1996); as did Spike Dykes (1990 and 1996). Meanwhile, coaching luminaries like Jackie Sherrill, Bill Yeoman, and Grant Teaff only made it once.
-And there's a fun trivia question: who's the only high school coach to make the cover of DCTF? G.A. Moore, in 2002.
-Goodley's presence on the 2014 cover brings wide receivers into a three-way tie with defensive linemen and linebackers with five spots on the cover all-time. Here's an interesting note on the linebackers: three of the five have come from Texas A&M (Brad Dusek in 1972, John Roper in 1988 and Dat Nguyen in 1998).
-Yes, two kickers made the cover (Texas' Russell Erxleben and Texas A&M's Tony Franklin). Yes, they were on the same cover, 1978. I know. I know.
-Only one offensive lineman and one defensive back have ever been DCTF coverboys, but it's hard to argue against either one. TCU's Marvin Godbolt, the face of the Frogs' defensive revolution, was part of a wide-ranging cover in 2004, while Texas A&M's Mo Moorman was Texas A&M's first coverboy back in 1967.

The meeting in Assisi (27 October 1986) is a very complex issue: there are a lot of issues here, and it is necessary to study all of them and - above all - [to] make the proper distinctions. In my mail I intended only to give a moral evaluation of the act itself and show that it was morally unexceptionable. Initially we must ask ourselves: "Did the pope sin in the Assisi meeting?" John Paul II theorized also, in his speeches, theological justifications of this act. We must ask ourselves "Are these justifications correct or heretical?"
After this we must pose to ourselves a second kind of question: "Was this act advisable or did this act create scandal and disadvantages which were more numerous than advantages?" And then we can examinate correlated facts, such as the statue of Buddha placed on top of the tabernacle. "What is the value of prayers of infidels?," etc. Every man must be religious, by natural law; if the prayers of infidels are always a sin, we would have a contradiction between natural law and positive divine law; but we cannot admit this.
A third kind of question would be: "Is there a difference between John Paul II's theology and that of many progressist theologians, who teach all religions are equivalent." A study of this kind reveals gigantic differences! Why, among principal progressive theologians (Rahner, Kung, feminist theology, etc), nobody aplauded this act?
Another important question: "Is John Paul II's teaching contradictory to the teaching of other popes"? Before trying to answer to this question, let's ask ourselves: "How many people read a large part of the magisterium about this issue; is it sufficent to read two or three encyclicals to judge living papal teaching? How many Catholics know or have read papal speeches about Assisi?
So, let's go step by step, with great patience. I'm only a poor parish priest of a mountain village that tries to give answers. There is an Italian proverb that says; "when there are not horses, donkeys run." We must look for traditional answers merging the teaching of John Paul II, the teaching of previous popes, and the teaching of Scholastic theologians about the salvation of unbelievers.
It's a work of pioneers, which will be useful if we will make our way with great humility, patience and great love for the pope. I ask myself: Before thinking that the pope has "false and erronous ideas and practices," isn't it necessary that I try to make any effort to understand His acts? Between the pope and myself, who has more probability to blunder? Have I well understood what the pope did, what he said, the remote context of his affirmations? Have I looked for a solution in texts by approved scholars? Am I sure my opinion is a definitive verdict about the Holy Father?
Another priest wrote:
- The problem is that if you invite people to do something, this very invitation constitutes a "FORMAL" participation. Invite someone to do a bank robbery...or to steal... this is becoming responsible for it, because by your invitation you "cause" it. By his invitation to all religions to come to Assisi for prayer, the Pope caused these prayers and invited to idol worship. (Praying to water for peace (sic!), praying to the "Great Thumb" for peace, praying to the man Buddha for peace...).
We have here a shifting of accent: we have to distinguish between the act itself fulfilled by the pope (staying together to pray) and the organization of the meeting. Nevertheless the pope has some responsibility for this organization: is it a sin to invite unbelievers to pray? To answer to this question, we must ask ourselves: "must an unbeliever pray?"
I call up here a distinction by St.Thomas:
- a) "Unbelief by way of pure negation" (infidelitas secundum negationem puram) in case a man may "be called an unbeliever merely because he has not the faith" "in those who have heard nothing about the faith"; this Unbelief is not a sin -and b) "Unbelief by way of opposition to the faith" (infidelitas secundum contrarietatem ad fidem) when "a man refuses to hear the faith" (S.Th II II, 10,1 c); this Unbelief is a sin.
A great Thomist theologian , De Victoria, specified also the degree of necessary predication, in order that negative unbelief become positive: it's necessary for not only a simple presentation of faith, but a presentation including all necessary motives of credibility. In fact St. Thomas teaches that "Nobody would believe if he doesn't see he must believe" (non enim crederet nisi videret ea esse credenda - S.Th., II II, q. 1, a. 4 ad 2). Only God knows the degree of innocence or culpability in the heart of unbelievers.
So we can pose a more definite question: must an unbeliever (an unbeliever by way of pure negation) pray? I think the answer is "yes," because, according to St. Thomas's teaching, we know that religion is a part of Justice, and Justice is an obligation by natural law. Every man must be religious, because every man must be upright (iustus). Prayer is an act of religion (not an act of faith), so every man must pray. So we must say to an unbeliever: follow natural law; you must be prudent, temperant, strong, upright.
St. Thomas says:
- Now the Divine law which is the law of grace, does not do away with human law (non tollit ius humanum) which is the law of natural reason. S. Th., II II, q. 10, a. 10 c.
Therefore, I conclude that invitation to unbelievers to pray, is not a formal participation in an act of false religion, but is a formal invitation to be religious, to follow natural law. The pope doesn't says: "Pray to a false God," but "Pray [as best you can]." Everything false in such act of religion, becomes an "indirect voluntary" (as the death of a child in case of removal of a cancerous uterus).
But now there are some new questions: Why must man be religious if he cannot know true religion? May an act of religion be specified by a false material object (as the one of false religion)? According to St. Thomas, the exercise of religion by an unbeliever may be a sort of natural preparation to receive grace: In IV Sent., II, d. 28 q. 1, a. 4 ad 4:
- It's possible, by natural reason, getting ready to have faith... If anyone, among pagan people, does as much he can (quod in se est faciat), God will reveal to him what is necessary for salvation, or by an inspiration that he will give him or by a savant whom He will send to him.
(...etiam ad fidem habendam aliquis se praeparare potest per id quod in naturali ratione est; unde dicitur, quod si aliquis in barbaris natus nationibus, quod in se est faciat, deus sibi revelabit illud quod est necessarium ad salutem, vel inspirando, vel doctorem mittendo. Unde non oportet quod habitus fidei praecedat praeparationem ad gratiam gratum facientem; sed simul homo se praeparare potest ad fidem habendam, et ad alias virtutes et gratiam habendam).
- ..The preparation of the human will for good is twofold: the first, whereby it is prepared to operate rightly and to enjoy God; and this preparation of the will cannot take place without the habitual gift of grace, which is the principle of meritorious works, as stated above. There is a second way in which the human will may be taken to be prepared for the gift of habitual grace itself. Now in order that man prepare himself to receive this gift, it is not necessary to presuppose any further habitual gift in the soul, otherwise we should go on to infinity. But we must presuppose a gratuitous gift of God, Who moves the soul inwardly or inspires the good wish...
I say with St Paul:"...I will not even be the judge of my own self. It is true that my conscience does not reproach me, but that is not enough to justify me: it is the Lord who is my judge" (1 Cor. 4:3-4). I dont' know; nobody cannot know the degree of innocence of unbelievers. But in a missionary approach, it is natural to suppose the good faith of our interlocutor. Nobody knows our true disposition, not even we ourselves (with absolute certainty); so, nobody will begin a missionary dialogue with an unbeliver saying: "Dear sir, I don't know your degree of innocence; maybe my effort is vain because you are not an unbeliever by way of negation: so you will go to hell; but, in case you are an unbeliever by way of negation, in this case we will accomplish something positive."
None among traditional missionaries begins his speech in a such manner. All missionary speeches hope for the good faith of the interlocutor. The fact that a missionary knows that not all men are good, doesn't exempt him from trying to convert, step by step, all men. And the first step of conversion is the observance of natural law. In addition, although we know not all men are in good faith, we don't know which are good or bad people. I didn't say "in Assisi all people were good," but rather, "it was allowable to invite all men to pray, hoping they were in good faith."
We must distinguish the virtue of religion before and after original sin. If Adam hadn't sinned, what an easy issue the demonstration of the existence of God would have been! But after original sin, as Vatican I teaches, a clear concept of God is very difficult, and we have the moral necessity of revelation also for verities that are recognizable, themselves, by natural reason. The most intelligent -perhaps- of pagan people, Aristotle, conceived an idea of God that is not true. (Hegel is more Aristotelian than St. Thomas: our St Thomas has substantially changed Aristotle's concept of God). I don't believe particular judgment will be an "examination of methaphysics": nevertheless what St Paul writes is true and it must be well understood.
Here it is opportune to examine the "Unknown God" of Acts 17:23:
What is the history of this cult to the "Unknown God"?: St. John Chrysostom tells us the story, when the Athenians send Philippides to ask help for Sparta, in his travel he had a spectral vision of a mysterious personage, who said to him: "Why don't you worship me? I will help you." Hence the worship to an "Unknown God." But the great Card. Baronius gives another explication, which is not irreconciliable with the previous one. Athenians were understanding that was impossible to attribute to their gods the peculiarities of the idea of "to be" (esse): the natural, implicit, perception of vanity of idols let them think of a quite different god, whose attributes were not yet definite. It's reasonable that people who enunciated such sophisticated concepts of "to be" (esse), were dissatisfied with idols. So the "Unknown God" was the object of this interior query of a true God, "unknown" because "not yet known."
All these premises indicate that many idolatrous cults of antiquity (as some contemporaneous people) were not formally idolatrous, because there was not formal attribution of divine attributes to idols (such as eternity, first principle, plenitude of being, etc.). What I wrote is not only an hypothis, but a scientific statement of the Ethnologic School of History of Religions. The great Wilhem Schmidt, author of the monumental work Ursprung der Gottesidee (Origin of the Idea of God) shows that a lot of people and primitive religions, - even though they had worship that, at first glance, we could define as idolatrous-, all these people believed in a one principal God, and only this god had attributes such as eternity, universal causality, infinity, providence etc.
In the case of unbelievers by way of negation, this idolatry can be reduced to a (at least sometimes) not culpable "vain observance" or to a vain observance that is not irreconcilable with natural law. Implicit faith is impossible within the context of formal idolatry; but I think it's very difficult to find truly formal idolatry because it's difficult, after original sin, conceiving the idea of God that must attributed to idols to be idolatrous in the proper sense.
Let's imagine asking a primitive biblical Canaanite; "which idea of God are you attributing to your idols?" What could he answer? Could he answer "ipsum esse subsistens," "esse per se et non per partecipationem"? (I don't want to say that there were not also truly pagan gnostic mythologies). We can understand biblical maledictions against idolatry, to preserve true religion among Jews. But we must believe that God also loves the Canaanites and othersunbelievers and that he also offered salvation to them.
There were no Satanists at Assisi. Obviously the acts of natural religon that can prepare for grace must be compatible with all natural law; so we must exclude sexual or magic practices etc. But in Assisi the issue was the prayer.
If someone ascribes to "The Blue Elephant" authentic divine preogatives, it's impossible for them to have implicit faith. If someone doesn't ascribe to "The Blue Elephant" authentic divine prerogatives, and someone understands he must be religious, and there is also the perception of the necessity of existence of a God quite different, it's possible this can be, "per accidens" a preparation to grace. We can extend here the principle of "erroneous conscience in invincible manner."
We don't forget that God doesn't give impossible orders. If natural law orders man to be religious, we have two solutions.
- A) God tolerates vain oservance of a lot of ignorant people, substantially not idolatrous.
B) God orders to be religious without giving the means to be religious.
We must not forget also that God dispenses his grace to this concrete man after original sin: and God knows the difficulties of building a natural theology.
The invitation for Assisi was an invitation to do "as much as anyone can", as St. Thomas wrote "quod in se est facit," preparing oneself in this manner to receiving grace. And this invitation is possible, without betting one dollar on the good faith of participants at the meeting.
May we assume a good act of religion expressing veneration to false gods?
Let's consider Cornelius the centurion:
- Acts 10:1 One of the centurions of the Italica cohort stationed in Caesarea was called Cornelius. 10:2 He and the whole of his house hold were devout and God-fearing, and he gave generously to Jewish causes and prayed constantly to God. 10:3 One day at about the ninth hour he had a vision in which he distinctly saw the angel of God come into his house and call out to him, "Cornelius!" 10:4 He stared at the vision in terror and exclaimed, "What is it, Lord?" The angel answered, "Your prayers and charitable gifts have been accepted by God."
Certainly his prayer - before conversion - was not the right worship at all; Cornelius' religion was not "THE true religion." But, nevertheless, this prayer was accepted by God. And why were Cornelius' prayers "accepted by God"? Because - St. Thomas says, he had "implicit faith." Well, we find ourselves in front of a prayer of a pagan, who had "implicit faith." Let's note that this is a prayer after the coming of Jesus Christ.
We find ourselves, about this issue, between two great theological errors: the necessity of faith to be absolutely explicit: in this perspective (Jansenist et al), man would have to have explicit cognition of all the verities of faith to be saved - and, on the other side, a faith as an a priori act; in this perspective, any worship of any undefinite god - regardless of the content of this act - would be sufficient to make every man a Christian. This is - substantially and in the broadest sense - the Anonymous Christian Theory, at least as this theory is vulgarized.
But now, let's return to the heart of the issue:
The prayer of Cornelius was a false worship, but it has been made a good prayer by faith; an implicit faith:
S Th. II II q. 10 a. 4 ad 3 (in some editions ad 4)
- With regard, however, to Cornelius, it is to be observed that he was not an unbeliever, else his works would not have been acceptable to God, whom none can please without faith. Now he had implicit faith, as the truth of the Gospel was not yet made manifest: hence Peter was sent to him to give him fuller instruction in the faith.
(De Cornelio tamen sciendum est quod infidelis non erat, alioquin eius operatio accepta non fuisset deo, cui sine fide nullus potest placere. Habebat autem fidem implicitam, nondum manifestata evangelii veritate. Unde ut eum in fide plene instrueret, mittitur ad eum Petrus).
in IV Sent, III d. 25 q. 2 a. 2
- We must know that Cornelius had explicit faith about the mystery of Incarnation, nevertheless it would be sufficient to him in order to salvation, even in case he had implicit faith about this.
(sciendum, quod Cornelius habebat fidem explicitam de mysterio incarnationis, quamvis suffecisset ei ad salutem, etiamsi de hoc fidem implicitam habuisset).
Before we advance in our study, here is another important quotation that shows that the degree of explicit faith may be very small and quite sufficient for salvation.
II II ,a. 2 q. 7 ad 3.
Title of the question: "Whether it is necessary for the salvation of all, that they should believe explicitly in the mystery of Christ?"
Some pagan people got salvation,
- though they did not believe in Him explicitly, they did, nevertheless, have implicit faith through believing in Divine providence, since they believed that God would deliver mankind in whatever way was pleasing to Him.
We must now ask ourselves, "What exactly is implicit faith?"
II II ,a. 2 q. 7 ad 3.
- Reply to Objection 3. Many of the gentiles received revelations of Christ, as is clear from their predictions. Thus we read (Job 19:25): "I know that my Redeemer liveth." The Sibyl too foretold certain things about Christ, as Augustine states (Contra Faust. xiii, 15). Moreover, we read in the history of the Romans, that at the time of Constantine Augustus and his mother Irene a tomb was discovered, wherein lay a man on whose breast was a golden plate with the inscription: "Christ shall be born of a virgin, and in Him, I believe. O sun, during the lifetime of Irene and Constantine, thou shalt see me again" [Cf. Baron, Annal., A.D. 780. If, however, some were saved without receiving any revelation, they were not saved without faith in a Mediator, for, though they did not believe in Him explicitly, they did, nevertheless, have implicit faith through believing in Divine providence, since they believed that God would deliver mankind in whatever way was pleasing to Him, and according to the revelation of the Spirit to those who knew the truth, as stated in Job 35:11: "Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth.
- Whether a man who disbelieves one article of faith, can have lifeless faith in the other articles?
Objection 1. It would seem that a heretic who disbelieves one article of faith, can have lifeless faith in the other articles. For the natural intellect of a heretic is not more able than that of a Catholic. Now a Catholic's intellect needs the aid of the gift of faith in order to believe any article whatever of faith. Therefore it seems that heretics cannot believe any articles of faith without the gift of lifeless faith.
Objection 2. Further, just as faith contains many articles, so does one science, viz. geometry, contain many conclusions. Now a man may possess the science of geometry as to some geometrical conclusions, and yet be ignorant of other conclusions. Therefore a man can believe some articles of faith without believing the others.
Objection 3. Further, just as man obeys God in believing the articles of faith, so does he also in keeping the commandments of the Law. Now a man can obey some commandments, and disobey others. Therefore he can believe some articles, and disbelieve others.
On the contrary, Just as mortal sin is contrary to charity, so is disbelief in one article of faith contrary to faith. Now charity does not remain in a man after one mortal sin. Therefore neither does faith, after a man disbelieves one article.
I answer that, Neither living nor lifeless faith remains in a heretic who disbelieves one article of faith.
The reason of this is that the species of every habit depends on the formal aspect of the object, without which the species of the habit cannot remain. Now the formal object of faith is the First Truth, as manifested in Holy Writ and the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth. Consequently whoever does not adhere, as to an infallible and Divine rule, to the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth manifested in Holy Writ, has not the habit of faith, but holds that which is of faith otherwise than by faith. Even so, it is evident that a man whose mind holds a conclusion without knowing how it is proved, has not scientific knowledge, but merely an opinion about it. Now it is manifest that he who adheres to the teaching of the Church, as to an infallible rule, assents to whatever the Church teaches; otherwise, if, of the things taught by the Church, he holds what he chooses to hold, and rejects what he chooses to reject, he no longer adheres to the teaching of the Church as to an infallible rule, but to his own will. Hence it is evident that a heretic who obstinately disbelieves one article of faith, is not prepared to follow the teaching of the Church in all things; but if he is not obstinate, he is no longer in heresy but only in error. Therefore it is clear that such a heretic with regard to one article has no faith in the other articles, but only a kind of opinion in accordance with his own will.
Reply to Objection 1. A heretic does not hold the other articles of faith, about which he does not err, in the same way as one of the faithful does, namely by adhering simply to the Divine Truth, because in order to do so, a man needs the help of the habit of faith; but he holds the things that are of faith, by his own will and judgment.
Reply to Objection 2. The various conclusions of a science have their respective means of demonstration, one of which may be known without another, so that we may know some conclusions of a science without knowing the others. On the other hand faith adheres to all the articles of faith by reason of one mean, viz. on account of the First Truth proposed to us in Scriptures, according to the teaching of the Church who has the right understanding of them. Hence whoever abandons this mean is altogether lacking in faith.
Reply to Objection 3. The various precepts of the Law may be referred either to their respective proximate motives, and thus one can be kept without another; or to their primary motive, which is perfect obedience to God, in which a man fails whenever he breaks one commandment, according to James 2:10: "Whosoever shall . . . offend in one point is become guilty of all.
There is a witty Italian witty proverb that says: "Did you want the bike? Now pedal!" You posed me a lot of questions about Assisi, and now endure my answers! :-)) Well, where did we leave off?
We have now to deal bravely with a decisive issue, because HERE is the difference between Assisi and modernism, false ecumenism, panchristianism etc.
The issue is about the contents of implicit faith: any faith, more or less explicit, must have contents - more exactly, supernatural revealed contents -, otherwise it would not be faith, but human thought. According to modernists, religion is the emerging of religious feelings: for modernists, the content of this feeling is not important: a good existential outcome of this religious sentiment is sufficient. So they reason: "Are you contented or satisfied to be a Buddhist or to practice Your homemade religion? Let this sentiment emerge! If you let your religious sentiment emerge, you are a Christian, even though you are not conscious of being a Christian."
What is the difference between implicit faith, as we have learned by St.Thomas, and this modernist conception? The differences concern dispositions of the subject, and the object itself. Man knows, by natural reason, that he must pursue his utimate end; man knows this end is good, lovely; so he desires to pursue his ultimate end. Grace manages to get into this natural desire, and so this natural desire becomes supernatural; this is the psychological beginning of the act of faith. There are already important differences between the Catholic and modernist conceptions of faith.
God himself reveals the means of act of faith, the objective contents, even though this knowledge may be not completely explicit. Gods acts in two manners:
1) with his natural providence; an unbeliever can admire the creation (Rom. 1:20: ever since the creation of the world, the invisible existence of God and his everlasting power have been clearly seen by the mind's understanding of created things) and believe (but he may also not believe); or God sends a missionary to the unbeliever.
2) with an immediate supernatural inspiration: we can read the autobiography of some convert, and admire their reflections. But we cannot exclude mysterious inspirations in the hearts of a lot of umbelievers: may we think that a poor primitive in Amazonia or in Asia is forgotten by God?
In both cases, a truth, a content, a supernatural - implicit or explicit - revelation, is proposed to man. A good will wants, "chooses," all these means God revealed to her.
St. Thomas says, about such unbelievers -a man that doesn't believe by way of pure negation, as Cornelius, but adheres to everything God reveals to him, that "he does as much he can (quod in se est facit) - he is not, formally, an unbeliver - he has implicit faith."
In, this sense we may better understand the word by Fr. Garrigou Lagrange: "Formally are more far from true religion people who deviated preserving many dogmas than people who tend to Catholicism embracing few verities."
A primitive man in the jungle, who "does as much he can", has more faith than a dissident theologian! And we have the same faith of the primitive man - in this sense we believe in the same God -, but we have not the same faith of a dissident theologian, and we don't believe in the same God as the dissident theologian, even though he can understand trinitarian procession better than us. We can so understand what St. Paul says in Acts 17:23 "...the unknown God you revere is the one I proclaim to you." In another sense, we have not the same God of the primitive, but we have the same God of the dissident theologian (from a merely material point of view). In this last sense is true that gods of pagan people are devils.
We can understand also why Pope St. Pius X says, in Pascendi, that modernism is the enemy not only of the Catholic religion, but of all religions: because the act of religion, the act that could precede a conversion, is basically undermined. So Fr. Cornelius a Lapide says that in the last days, the Antichrist will fight against all religion!
I tried only to begin to study the facts of Assisi: you didn't read the complete argumentation which would be necessary, but only few e-mails by a mountain priest. I believe I have shown that Assisi is not only a question of ecumenism, but that a lot of issues are implied. We cannot have an unconscious tour d'esprit: "Mortalium Animos didn't provide for Assisi, so Assisi is an heinous fact." There are some new facts that are not in pre-concilar handbooks; and we must be able to evaluate them in a serene manner. The battle for traditional liturgy, for Catholic Tradition et al, expects "new wine in fresh skins" (Luke 5:38).
And what must we say about ecumenism? I confess that when I hear this word, my hair stands on end! :-)) But let's forget for a moment this word. Must we try any effort in order that unbelievers convert themselves! Yes, we must. May we compel the act of faith? No, we may not. May we try to persuade and convince them with arguments? Yes! And how do we begin this persuasion? "Hi Protestant; your mother was not an honest woman! Convert yourself, otherwise hell will gulp you down," or trying to not "break the crushed reed or snuff the faltering wick" (Is. 42:3)? Trying to not break the crushed reed or snuff the faltering wick . . . And is this a missionary action? Yes, it's a missionary action. And must we be missionaries? Yes, we must. Is the term ecumenism abused and used to pass the worse foul errors? Yes, but we must be missionaries even though the term is abused.

That's disappointing. It's not an exploit, and it makes things easier for users. Why remove it?
iOS 5.1 beta removes access to system settings shortcuts from your home screen
iOS 5.1 beta was released earlier this week and it appears to block access to system settings shortcuts that you may have added to your home screen. Systems settings have been making quite a stir recently when it was discovered that you could access individual settings using a URL type web address. The web address could then be saved as a favorite with a fancy icon on your home screen. This would then give you one touch access to Bluetooth settings, Wi-Fi settings and much more.
One developer even put the various settings options together in one place, created a beautiful icon set and wrapped each up as an easily installable system profile. Now, for whatever reason, Apple has blocked access to system settings via this URL method in the iOS 5.1 beta.
This is a very disappointing move for many as Apple has continually ignored how difficult it is to access settings like Bluetooth without having to navigate multiple settings pages just to get to the one toggle you need. Hopefully Apple has a simple solution up its sleeve which it intends to release when iOS 5.1 makes its public release.

iOS 5.1 beta removes access to system settings shortcuts from your home screen
Commonly used settings like wifi, bluetooth, etc should be accessible via the notifications swipe down.
guessss i'm not gonna upgrade to 5.1!
Hmmm - think Apple will come up with a control panel of some sort, pressure is on from JB'ers :)
You know here is a thought for Apple, you gave us swipe down for notification center, how about give us swipe up for quick access to toggles for wifi, bluetooth etc. Make it a page that is configurable in the settings app as to what is located on it for easy turn on/off.
Didn't iOS 5.1 already come out?
I love my iphone 4s. I miss the ability to tweek and adjust it had in my Palm Pre+. A lot. Apple works beautifully if you do things how Apple wants you to. And is a pain if you want to do something differently.
I can honestly say that SBSettings is the only reason I want to jailbreak anymore. If they did something intuitive, such as adding these toggles to the Spotlight screen (then fade them away when you search for something) I could honestly say I would (more than likely) never need to jailbreak again. C'mon Apple!
He didn't say IN the Notification center (like the last one you said the exact same thing to) - hes said a swipe UP. That's different.
Besides, why would you put it in the task switcher? That's for task switching.
Calm down everyone, you'll get your settings shortcuts! Apple is just going to disable the function in 5.1. Then when they release iOS 6, they are going to take credit for re-inventing the wheel and innovating a game-changing feature: The ability to easily toggle settings!
I remember when they announced "cut and paste." You would have thought they invented it by the reaction of the fanboyz in the room. Same with multi-task switching.
Having toggles in Notification Center is much more intuitive.
There's a brilliant jailbreak solution for just that, but I'm waiting for a tethered jailbreak.
As for the multitasking tray, that should be activated by a swipe up from the bottom. It would certainly prevent Home buttons from becoming 'flaky' after a few months of use.
I would love a swipe up for the multitasking tray. Just went into the Genius bar this weekend to address my barely-functional home button. Their response: "Yeah, the home buttons wear out and there is nothing we can do for you since your phone is just over a year old. But you can buy a new phone!" I'm sorry, but if I buy a $700 piece of equipment, I expect the one (primary) button on the thing to work for more than a year.
Basically IntelliscreenX is how Apple should be doing it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwx9PUX_tz8&sns=em
Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. Navigating through the "Settings" menu on the iPhone is no big deal. I don't have a problem with it.
Good, I'm glad you don't.
But a lot of people do.
I'm one of them. Navigating through the menus is a pain and unnecessary.
Turning off notifications now is impossible to do on a global scale, as you need to toggle EACH one off. But that's another issue.
I often like to turn off wifi and/or Bluetooth. I want to adjust my brightness, to do so I have to enter settings and go through how many menus? Heaven forbid I want to turn off wifi, turn on Bluetooth and turn up my brightness.
Think about it from that perspective and you may see things differently.
Amen to the other posters above me. Navigating through menus is insanely unnecessary and causes loss of data for apps that don't support multitasking so you have the fun of starting all over. There is simply no reason for Apple to make using those features as tedious as they do. High on my list of long-standing disappointments and a main reason to JB for SBSettings. Add apps like IntelliScreenX, CallBar and a few others and you have a highly customized phone. You don't know what you are missing until you've fully explored JBing.
that's stupid. notification center is for notifications.
And Weather. And Stocks.
Well, weather and stock information is notifying you...
Why do they insist on making Bluetooth access so difficult? It drives folks to jailbreak and maybe even to switch to Android. Why not just implement the silly quick fix?
I'd say 6.0 would be more likely...
Same reason people pay Geek Squad to install stuff for them???
My guess on the notification bar not having toggles in it is it would be too android-like. This is one of the big things I miss from Android. The whole pulldown bar is a rip-off anyway but like others have said "it's revolutionary because apple did it". I love my 4s for the most part and don't regret the switch but there are a few things I miss.
i use hotspot and bluetooth and sound profile on a regular basis and thought the system setttings shortcut was one of best apps (which should have been part of ios anyway) and its really sad that apple blocks it :-(. i would be really nice to touch -enable the feature at the top status bar for network connections and sound profile
It was nice while it lasted but in the end it was just a gimmick.
It does the same thing you can do yourself by tapping
Settings, Brightness.
I guess the real thing to remember here is, IT'S A BETA! There is no way to know if these changes are going to be permanent, or if it was even a mistake. Apple obviously isn't going to officially support anything that makes using our phones easier so what's the outrage? This is like getting pissed that the Enchirito was cancelled. It was only a matter of time, it was an expected move and we'll just find another way around. Why is this even a story?
So I'm guessing you're looking to make a little cash in your spare time right? I'm a single mom of two amazing toddlers and using http://make4800permonth.info has blessed me with about $2458 a month for the last year. Try it, it takes me only 15 minutes a day!

BugMe! displays all your stickies on a virtual cork board. There's a share button that lets you save an image of your cork board to your Camera Roll, send it via email, or visit the in-app store to purchase more papers.
When creating a note, you can add text or use your finger or stylus to handwrite on it. For the text, there are four different sizes, six fonts, and five colors. To cycle through the choices, you simply tap the appropriate icon. The paintbrush tool includes eight colors and two sizes for each size. You can also choose between different paper types, or choose one of your own photos to use a paper.
BugMe! also allows you to set an alarm to your notes with a list of quick option like "top of the hour", "15 minutes", "next week", "tomorrow morning", and more. If you prefer to set an exact time, you can do that too.
In Settings, you'll find options to change the default paper style, choose an alarm sound, snap your notes to grid, enable nagging alarms, and more.
The BugMe! store features six different note packs, each available for $0.99. Or you can purchase them all at once for $5.99.
The good
- Make quick notes
- Alarms and reminders
- Save notes to launcher
- Send notes to friends
- Customize the look
- Use photos
The bad
- No undo button
- The "Mega Pack" is actually $0.05 more than purchasing individually
- Notes don't sync between devices
The bottom line
BugMe! is a cute and fun way to keep notes and set reminders, especially if you're someone who used to, or still does, use physical sticky notes.

BugMe! Stickies for iPhone and iPad review
It's not available for Mac, but every Mac comes with an app called Stickies that is very similar. You should check it out :)
Indeed! I just assumed without thinking it would be the other way around! Ha! Fixed.
I have two questions about this:
1) Why would iMore do a review of this software and only include iPhone screenshots when it clearly is really intended for a larger screen device like an iPad?
2) Why, why, why would they make the user interface ... brown? I mean come on, brown??
I get that it matches the corkboard, but there is actually no *reason* to match the corkboard. Grey, Black, choose your own colour, they would all "match" as well as brown and they would have the advantage of NOT BEING BROWN.
The iPhone was the device I was using. Didn't think not having iPad screenshots would be so upsetting. Sorry. The app store has a lot of iPad screenshots you can check out if you're interested. I'm pretty sure it was available on the iPhone first, so not so sure about it being "intended" for the iPad. It was actually first developed for Palm back in the day.
The brown actually doesn't bother me, but I agree that having a selection of colors would be a great feature to add
A work around is saving an image of your cork board or note and setting it as your background

Key Bottle Opener 11 11

I called around, (even to another state) and everyone was sold out. I hope they come back to the stores or online so I can get more for my friends. I did take the ones I got to a White Elephant gift exchange and they were the most popular and most stolen gifts. December 20, 2010
Key Bottle Opener We were very interested in purchasing at least one of these, if not two, for hanging on some special gifts. Unfortunately, that were not available at either of the two stores we visited. It was suggested that we check back in two days. December 17, 2010

Midrash Aggadah
We Also Recommend
Midrash–searching and probing the text of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)–divides into two categories. Some midrashic writing deals with practical matters of Jewish law and behavior (halakhah), and is known as midrash halakhah. Most midrash explores ethical ideas, biblical characters, or narrative moments, and is known as midrash aggadah.(Aggadah literally means "telling" or story.) When Jews use the colloquial "it says in the midrash," they are usually referring to teachings of midrash aggadah, generally those found in a corpus of classical Jewish texts compiled between about 200 and 1000 C.E.
Midrash aggadah can take any biblical word or verse as a starting point, but there is no one standardized method of interpretation. Indeed, some scholars define midrash simply as any Jewish statement with a reference to a specific biblical verse or verses.
For the classical rabbis, the guiding assumption was that Torah, and Tanakh more generally, were true not only for their own time, but also for all time. Midrash sometimes involved drawing out biblical paradigms or insights that could apply to contemporary reality, and was a complex interplay of reverence for the text and theological creativity.
For rabbis both steeped in Tanakh and absorbed by the Jewish questions of their time, there was no clear line between explaining the received Torah and generating new ideas. Tanakh was their language for coming to grips with life in exile, under foreign rule. Even the rabbis' most audacious statements about God and Jewish history were kept within normative bounds by linking them to biblical verses.
Midrash aggadah is found in many places throughout the two Talmuds and in midrashic collections. Midrash Rabbah, the "Great Midrash," is the name given to a set of collections linked to each of the five books of the Torah and the five scrolls of the Ketuvim (Writings, the third section of the Tanakh) read on holidays.
Some of these early works read like verse-by-verse commentaries. Others may have originated in sermons linked to the weekly Shabbat Torah readings. The latter frequently take a form known as petichta (Aramaic for "opening"), in which a verse from the Prophets or the Writings is linked through a train of thoughts and associations with the opening verse of the Torah reading.

Growing up in Calgary, hockey was life for defenseman Mark Matheson. His parents put him into skating lessons and signed him up for his first team at the age of five. The rest, as they say, would be history. Except that was not necessarily the case for him.
"I really enjoyed being in those skating classes and always wanted to play hockey, but I wasn't the best skater at first," Matheson said. "My parents always laugh looking back because after the first year of hockey, they thought there was no way I would continue to play, because I was the worst skater on the team. I could barely stand up."
Matheson decided to stick with the sport and enrolled in power skating lessons. Two years after he was deemed the team's worst skater, he became one of the best skaters through hard work and determination. His youth hockey career blossomed after that.
"I was fortunate enough to live in Calgary, which has a great youth hockey program and was lucky to be on really good teams," Matheson said. "The guys I grew up playing with, we all moved up together. It has thinned out now and I am the only one still playing from our little group, but we all had pro aspirations."
Matheson played minor hockey up to midget and then was scouted to play juniors in Calgary. He also was a two-sport athlete growing up. In addition to hockey, he was a competitive lacrosse player.
"Lacrosse is a sport that kind of goes hand in hand with hockey with all the hand eye coordination," Matheson said. "The same group of guys I played hockey with, I played competitive lacrosse with. We were all pretty good at lacrosse and we competed in some national tournaments."
One of the players Matheson played lacrosse with was former Wolves forward Jamie Hunt. The two grew up playing against each other and then ended up at the same high school and became teammates and friends. Matheson's lacrosse career came to an end once he began playing junior hockey due to the time commitment. He also didn't want to risk getting injured playing lacrosse, plus hockey was always his true passion.
"I enjoyed lacrosse, but hockey has always been my No. 1 sport for sure," Matheson said. "A lot of my friends chose to play lacrosse because they thought it gave them a better chance to earn a US college scholarship and I thought the exact opposite."
Matheson turned his one season of juniors into a scholarship offer from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. He accepted and became teammates with another former Wolves forward, Matt Anderson.
"I really enjoyed the whole college experience," Matheson said. "I had a pretty solid career, especially my junior and senior seasons. My senior season, we went to the Frozen Four for the first time in school history and it was pretty special. There was a core group of guys, including Matt Anderson, that all came together at the right time. To be able to get to the Frozen Four and have the support from our school was something I won't soon forget."
The day after UMass lost in the Frozen Four, Matheson received a call from the assistant general manager of the National Hockey League's Nashville Predators, asking if he wanted to play for their American Hockey League affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals. It was an opportunity Matheson jumped at and eventually turned that tryout into a contract.
He spent the next three seasons toiling the Admirals blueline, where he posted 46 assists and 52 points in 190 games. In the summer of 2010, he departed Milwaukee and signed a free agent contract with the Admirals' fiercest rival – the Chicago Wolves.
"It was definitely weird at the start of last year's training camp being a member of the Wolves," Matheson said. "Milwaukee was my first, and only, pro organization. After three years, you get comfortable and you get this mindset of wanting to beat the Wolves. Then to put on a Wolves jersey and go the other way, it was weird.
"At the same time, it was exciting. I knew quite a few people on the Wolves roster and in the organization. I didn't know how awkward it was going to be playing against Milwaukee, but I enjoyed those games and had a lot of fun. Now my mindset is I want to beat
my old team."
Matheson's first season with the Wolves didn't start off like he hoped.
He was a healthy scratch the first seven games before getting into the lineup. Sitting was something he was not accustomed to in Milwaukee.
"The beginning of last year was pretty frustrating," Matheson said. "But it is no different anywhere else when you are the new guy in the organization and there are lots of players fighting for a few spots. I tried to wait for my spot and when I got it, I tried to keep it by working hard."
Keep it he did. Matheson would go on to appear in 69 of the team's final 72 contests. He set career-highs in every offensive category with 9 goals, 24 assists and 33 points. His 9 goals were three more than he scored in his three years combined with Milwaukee.
"As I played more and more, I gained more confidence and I was able to start creating and really owned my spot," Matheson said. "Around Christmas, I was able to work my way onto the top special teams units and was able to stay there. That really is what helped me put up career points."
In addition to increased ice time, a nickname from the past crept back into Matheson's life to ease his transition in a new town and team.
"If people know me well enough, they know my nickname is Mad Dog," Matheson said. "It comes as a bit of a shocker for most because I am kind of a calm person and I don't often get rattled. Last year, (Wolves Senior VP of Operations) Courtney Mahoney learned of my nickname and started calling me by it. People in the organization got wind of it and it picked up steam."
Matheson wasn't the first Mad Dog in the family. His dad held the original claim to the moniker and it was passed to Mark when he was younger and had a quick temper.
"The name was used a little in hockey because of my dad having the name but it really stuck in lacrosse because of my quick temper on the field," Matheson said. "It died for a while in college because I was really calm and no one knew my nickname from back home. Every now and then I go back home to Calgary and I'll be with my wife and people will call me Mad Dog and she always gets a kick out of it. I am kind of a silent worker so the name doesn't really fit, but I like it."
Back for his second season with the Wolves, Matheson has his goals set on another career year, but would put the individual accolades aside for team success.
"Personally, I just want to pick up where I left off from last season," Matheson said. "I think all you can ask from yourself is to work hard, give a consistent effort and try to get better every game.
For the team obviously it starts with making the playoffs and you never know what can happen once you get in. We just have to go from a bunch of people and come together as a team. We can find our own ways to bond and hopefully we have a good year."

Do you have a million great ideas, or even fragments of ideas, sloshing around in your head on a daily basis? Do you just KNOW something would make a great blog, article or book, but you don't know how to start writing about it? Do do you start writing, then very soon feel as if you have been bound in chains, which are getting tighter and tighter with every sentence that you try to squeeze out? Or maybe you don't even get that far -- the racing heart and butterflies in the stomach at the thought of writing, force you to go and do something else instead.
Do any of these writer's block symptoms sound familiar to you?
If you are anything like me (and myriads of other people with blogs), you will have experienced at least one. My specific problem is desperately WANTING to write, WANTING to share, WANTING to love writing, but in reality I hate writing. Well actually let me correct that and make it past tense -- I HATED writing…until I read a book called "Accidental Genius", by Mark Levy.
All I can say is that unless you are a fully confident, prolific and highly successful writer who never stumbles for words, then you NEED TO READ this book. When I first drafted this post I had no affiliate interest in this book, I just wanted to share the utter excitement I felt when I started using Mark's "freewriting" as he calls it. (Since then I have joined Amazon's affiliate program so I may well make a dollar or so when you buy this book.)
When you read "Accidental Genius", prepare for WRITER'S UNBLOCKAGE, if there is such a term. Prepare to improve your writing and more importantly, your CONFIDENCE and ENJOYMENT in writing -- immediately.
The only reason this post is appearing here today is because my block has already been broken down by using freewriting.
What Does Freewriting help you to do?
Freewriting will help you reach a level of thinking which would otherwise not be possible in your normal ways of doing things. It will help you to
- see opportunities you may otherwise miss
- solve problems which seem impossible
- generally write better and more easily
- write more interestingly and creatively
- explore new situations and gain clarity that you did not know was possible.
As if this isn't enough, the one that really struck my interest (as a Passion Test Facilitator) was when Levy pointed out,
- "You could even use freewriting to find purpose when you dont have a purpose in mind."
What is this Freewriting all about?
As Mark Levy says, we have brilliant creative thoughts and ideas going through our minds constantly. We are not even aware of many of them. Take dreaming for instance -- what amazing things our minds can do even when we are asleep! Memories are the same -- we don't put them there, they just appear from nowhere in the middle of doing something else. It is the same with solutions to problems. How often do you find that the answer to something just "pops into your head" when you are sitting at the traffic lights? The point Levy makes, is that these ideas don't come from anywhere OUTSIDE of you, they are coming from INSIDE YOUR MIND. So the trick is just to be able to access your brilliance WHEN YOU WANT TO and when you need to. This is where freewriting steps in.
The trick is to make use of these thoughts without the boring, controlling, editing, mind taking over and limiting us.
As Levy describes, "as expansive and impressive as the mind is, it is also lazy. Left to its own devices it, it recycles tired thoughts, takes rutted paths, and steers clear of unfamiliar and uncomforatble territory. You could say that one of its primary jobs is to shut off, even when there is important thinking to be done. Freewriting prevents that from happening."
So what is Freewriting?
In a nutshell, freewriting is a fast method of "thinking onto paper". You simply start writing (or typing onto your keyboard) as fast as you possibly can WITHOUT STOPPING, and for as long as you can. You ignore the normal rules of grammar and spelling and just go for it, spilling out everything that is important to you on that particular topic.
Without stopping literally means you do not stop -- even if you hit a block where you can't write anything meaningful, you just write anything (even repeat one word!) until you get going again. This stops your boring internal editor from keeping up.
How do you use your Freewriting?
Levy of course elaborates on the technique, describing 6 secrets of freewriting, and gives 15 problem solving and creativity-stimulating principles to get you going even more. Most importantly, he then goes on to explain how you can refine this freewriting into something that you can share with the world -- phew!… That's lucky!
If you feel that this brilliant technique is something you could use to improve your writing skills -- for whatever you want to write, then you can get a copy of Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content now.
This post is obviously my own personal take on the book. If you want to hear a whole lot more about how this book can help you in your business with ideas, problem solving and leadership, then listen to the short video below, by the author himself.
Please leave your comments below and let me know if you use this technique or anything similar. I would love to hear from you. If your friends would find it useful too, then be sure to share it on Twitter or Facebook!

Alright... I've gone through and cleaned up the thread, checked the links, removed dead ones, and redirected several others. Feel free to submit additional suggestions. I have to believe that most teams have some sort of equivalent forums to WSI. Generally, the forums that I am not happy with are: TB, CLE, and COL (and NYYFans is currently down, but I think that is only a temporary issue).
I also tend to think that LAD, LAA, NYY and SF have a bigger internet presence than I have listed. For instance, if you go to the PRO SPORTS DAILY site, those teams have monster boards there. ... So, if you know of any team forums that draw a ton of traffic, please let me know and I'll work them in.
I am not a GUN!

Who is this guy?
July 02, 2002 12:47PM
Once again I find myself sitting here saying, @#$%&, who is this cat, and when did he start turning up the heat? Yes I'm talking about Doug Williams. A mild manored ex-masters player who has for some reason decided to jump on up to the pro ranks and take names and kick some butt. Again, he beat a strong field of (I believe) 22 open players at the Miss St Chps, and won it pulling away from the field. Todd Rowell, the best that Mobile has to offer(in my opinion) at this time, has developed a "walk up" putt that is incredible. It's fun to watch and I really enjoy watching him play. Also congrats out to him for FINALLY marrying his devoted cady, good job Bro'. Wild Bill Tyler, another of Mobiles finest, did his usual from the bottom to the top play that allows him to cash in nearly every tourney that he plays in, finished third, and my homeboy Ese' Rivers Sherrod took me by two strokes to finish up the top four that got to play for skins. Todd was the only outright skins winner, making a "walk up" putt from @ 75 feet on the third hole, and the rest of the money was divided by the four finnalists.
It was a great time and thanks to Flash Herndon for putting up with me and VL all weekend, and thanks to all the other offers that I had, too numerous to mention, but I may take you up on the offers at the next tourney there.

What can I say guys. Was it LUCK or was it FATE I sure dont knowbut I need them both on my side to beat yous guys. What an excellant turn out again in Hattiesburg. Thanks again to Mike and JIM. You are DA' MAN.
Hey Victor I dont throw past the shade the sun moves by the time my old ass walks up to my throw. And finally the final 6 boy I might have won the tourney but I SURE DID NOT BELONG in the skins. 6 holes with 6 spaunches. The PERFECT score........ NOT.
But it was all in fun and congratulations to Todd for being the only MAN in the bunch to get some PIE.

UFC 108: Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva; two Lauzon's! Jan. 2, 2010
Ultimate Fighting Championship 108: Rashad 'Suga' Evans vs Thiago Silva
MGM Grand
Las Vegas, Nevada
The Ultimate Fighting Championship kicks off the New Year with an explosive light heavyweight main event that has serious implications on the title picture at 205 pounds.
Former world champion and Ultimate Fighter® season ten coach 'Suga' Rashad Evans begins his quest to regain his crown as he takes on Brazilian powerhouse Thiago Silva, who is coming off a spectacular 95 second knockout of Evans' friend and training partner Keith Jardine.
Its a grudge match of epic proportions. UFC® 108: Evans vs. Silva, live on pay-per-view from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Rashad 'Suga' Evans vs Thiago Silva
Joe 'J-Lau' Lauzon vs Sam 'Hands of Stone' Stout
Junior 'Cigano' Dos Santos vs Gilbert 'The Hurricane' Yvel
Cole 'Magrinho' Miller vs Dan 'The Upgrade' Lauzon
Vladimir 'The Janitor' Matyushenko vs Steve 'Robot' Cantwell
Mark 'The Filipino Wrecking Machine' Munoz vs Ryan Jensen
Mike 'Quicksand' Pyle vs Jake Ellenberger
Not sure why the UFC site only lists seven fights. I will count the below fights as 'rumoured' until confirmed officially on the UFC site.
John Gunderson vs. Rafaello Oliveira
Martin Kampmann (No. 9 WW) vs. Jacob Volkmann
Sean Sherk (No. 8 LW) vs. Jim Miller
Paul Daley (No. 8 WW) vs. Dustin Hazelett
Commentary: I almost let out a laugh when I saw Gilbert Yvel listed there. To be fair I mostly enjoy the Dutch Muay Thai stylist's fights but his character is far from poster boy material. I'm happy to see our own Joe Lauzon fighting again, after his surgery, we wish him the best. I'm also happy to see Joe's younger brother Dan Lauzon back in the UFC, may his jock strap be untested.

CRESTVIEW — Members of several area churches want to provide housing for the poor with the community's support. The Helping Other People Effectively Network would establish transitional housing and a permanent shelter here, if it reaches its goals.
See a list of cold night shelters>>
See a list of Crestview and Baker soup kitchens>>
HOPE leader Ann Sprague said she plans to meet with local bank officials to learn about foreclosed homes, although the organization would accept donations for a house and contractor services.
It's the next step in helping needy North Okaloosa residents, she said.
HOPE members gather monthly to coordinate soup kitchens and cold weather shelters.
Representatives of Crestview's First United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church in Crestview and the Journey Church say the need has increased.
"We can see it growing; of course, a lot of it has to do with the economy," Ed Kitchen, of First Presbyterian, said.
Sean Peters, pastor at the Journey Church, said attendance at their soup kitchen has grown steadily since the service opened last May.
"We had around 30 (people), on average, and then in the summer we had an average of 90 to 100," he said. "Since then the numbers have tapered off to around 75."
Many individuals who visit the area soup kitchens are not homeless, Jo-An Williams, of First Presbyterian, said.
"The majority comes from people on a fixed-income or (those using) food stamps," she said.
Regardless of whom they help or how they help them, working together is crucial.
"I think this is so important for the community," Peters said.
"The fact that churches are working together in the community to make something happen every day of the week ... to feed people and bring them out from the cold," he said. "It's a really good thing and I am excited that we are a part of it."
HOPE is always open to gaining new members, regardless of religious affiliation, Sprague said.
"Anybody is welcome," she said. "We are trying to find any opportunity to help the community.
