You have to remember, telling a mainstreamer (hey, I think I just coined a new word!) that there is no ET is the same thing as telling them their Bible is false. And if you try to explain that the Bible doesn't mean what they think, you will get accused of twisting the scripture!
More sad than amazing when they can't see how silly it is to say Jesus' death was for nothing if Hell isn't ET.Debating seems fruitless....when shown scriptures supporting UR, they either ignore them or state "out of context", yet rarely explain what they see the context to be. Showing them a likely context for the verses they quote to support their view of ET seems to be the point where the ad hominem attacks enter in.It is amazing how the differing camps do unite for the commom cause of torturing unbelievers....sigh.
but I also believe as you say, we can't make them "see"...that's up to God to reveal when He chooses...He may not either be ready for them to see yet (because "especially those that believe" indicates that especially means 'set apart for a specific purpose'-- God's purpose!), or maybe God knows they are just not ready/able to see yet...However, God does still work miracles.
Are you guys trying to tell me "believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that there is an eternal hell and thou shalt be saved" isn't in the Bible?
After all, a good God needs a good Hell.

Hey Bratzies! It's Cloe here! I just got back from an awesome morning skate session. Sometimes I have to trade in the high heels for athletic shoes! It's important that we take care of our bodies with proper eating and exercise if we want to stay fabulous!
It's summer time so I try to get my daily cardio in by going to the gym or playing soccer-–I love it cuz I never lose! I like to switch it up every now and then with skateboarding. Getting involved in a sport is a great way to stay in shape and have fun. Physical activity doesn't have to be boring! A brisk walk while chatting with friends for 30 minutes should do it or even 15-20 minutes of basketball!
There are so many fabulous activities such as dancing, hiking, horseback riding, skateboarding and fitness classes. It can get pretty hot in the summer so I'm sure the #1 option on most people's list is the swimming pool! When you are having fun you totally forget you are working out, which is great for those who have a hard time getting the motivation! Don't be a couch potato this summer–get up and get active!
Okay Bratzies now it's your turn to share with us your favorite physical activity to stay fit!

The Aiken Department of Public Safety has arrested a fourth person and is seeking two more people in connection with a string of nighttime burglaries that happened in the downtown area last month.
Brandon Micki Crawford, 27, was arrested by officers at his home on Wednesday, according to Cpl. Jeremy Hembree. He was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree burglary for his involvement in selling property that was stolen during the burglaries on Jan. 8.
Investigators are also asking for the community's help in locating 29-year-old Neteaya Lachane Williams and 29-year-old Gerren Lamar Amiker, both of Aiken, according to Hembree. Williams and Amiker are wanted for accessory after the fact to first-degree burglary for their involvement in selling property from the downtown burglaries.
Investigators believe Williams and Amiker may be together, Hembree said. They are continuing to follow several leads and expect to make more arrests related to the burglaries.
The burglaries, which happened during the early hours of Jan. 8, sent shockwaves through the city of Aiken.
Authorities first responded to a burglar alarm at a home on Newberry Street about 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 8 and saw a man fleeing on foot. While setting up a perimeter in the area, officers discovered that other homes nearby had been broken into.
The suspects had burglarized four homes – all of which were occupied by residents sleeping in other areas of the home – and 12 vehicles, police have said. At each location, the suspect reportedly entered the home through an unlocked or unsecured door.
A resident called 911 a short time later and said a subject was inside her home on the 200 block of Lancaster Street. The caller said the subject fled on foot.
An additional search perimeter was set up, and the Aiken County Bloodhound Tracking Team and a helicopter from the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division were brought in to assist in the search.
Tremayne Deshawn Crawford, 22, was detained on Jan. 9 and charged with first-degree burglary. He also had outstanding warrants for the Sheriff's Office.
Demarques Tremall Jamison, 20, of Aiken, turned himself in to officers on Jan. 11 and was charged with criminal conspiracy and accessory after the fact. He is also charged with grand larceny, simple possession of marijuana, breach of trust with fraudulent intent and receiving stolen goods.
Willie Maurice Franklin, 23, of Aiken, was arrested Jan. 14 and charged with trespassing after notice, criminal conspiracy and accessory after the fact. He faces additional charges of threatening a public official and violation of probation.
All four men remained in the Aiken County detention center on Thursday afternoon.
Anyone with further information related to this incident or the whereabouts of Williams or Amiker is asked to contact CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at (888) CRIME-SC.
Callers will remain anonymous and could be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Wedding and baby showers should be co-ed affairs
This persisting societal trend of wedding and baby showers being female-only events normalizes the notion that marriage, the home, and babies are things for women and not men. This not only serves to keep the "second shift" a reality for many working women, but it also excludes men from celebrating two monumental life events that have just as much to do with them as the other half of the population.

"Clinician Perspectives on Electronic Health Information Sharing for Transitions of Care"
The American College of Physicians (ACP), the Bipartisan Policy Center, and Doctors Helping Doctors Transform Health Care have released the results of a survey that reveals an overwhelming majority of clinicians believe that the electronic exchange of health information will have a positive impact on improving the quality of patient care, coordinating care, meeting the demands of new care models, and participating in third-party reporting and incentive programs.

COLUMBIA — A three-year effort to evaluate and upgrade computer security systems at state agencies should begin in March, state officials said Tuesday.
The yet-to-be hired contractor will be asked to start with three agencies and issue recommendations by May 1 that include cost estimates, Budget and Control Board director Marcia Adams told the agency's oversight board. The report would come in time for budget discussions in the Senate.
Adams said her agency was collecting proposals and hoped to hire a contractor March 5.
That would be nearly six months after a cyber-thief stole unencrypted personal and financial data of millions of taxpayers from Department of Revenue computer servers. The state hired Mandiant, a Virginia-based information security firm, to immediately address the issues at that agency.
Gov. Nikki Haley said the consultant was needed to help officials upgrade data security across state government.
"I'm very happy with the progress made," Haley, chairwoman of the five-member oversight board, said after the meeting. "This is going to be something ongoing."
Senate Finance Chairman Hugh Leatherman, a board member, made clear the recommendations would be followed.
"Whatever comes out, the agencies will do it. They won't have the ability to said, 'No,"' he said.
The contractor will evaluate 18 agencies over three years, but the goal for May is to determine the most immediate security vulnerabilities, Adams said.
Her agency had help writing the request for expertise. Last month, the board approved hiring a consultant to help with the search. Cedric Bennett, former information security director at Stanford University, was awarded that $6,000 contract Dec. 20. He'll continue to help through the hiring process.
The agency initially posted its request Jan. 11. Companies should submit their proposals by Feb. 11. The March 5 start date assumes no one protests the state's selection, Adams said.
The consultant being hired will help the state centralize data security responsibilities. Currently, each agency develops its own computer security standards.
The Division of State Information Technology, which is part of the Budget and Control Board, can only suggest policies and offers security-monitoring services at no cost to agencies and local governments.
Inspector General Patrick Maley has said the current decentralized model is a recipe for disaster, and residents won't tolerate another security disaster.
"We have to be consistent across the board for every agency. We've got to have them under one umbrella," Haley said. "My only input to the consultant is, help us put as many walls up but make it consistent as possible."
Maley conducted a quick review of agencies' cyber security as per an executive order Haley issued Oct. 26, the same day she announced the mid-September hacking at the state's tax collection agency.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 10 mph
By Brian Fleisher
The discussion on the water project reached the height of absurdity last week. Ginny Houston's letter claimed that she owned the land and the town had no rights to drill there. Totally false. The front page of that same issue of The Valley Reporter stated that the Vermont Supreme Court had confirmed that the town was completely within it rights to drill the well and Ginny Houston had no rights there. Now in recent years I may not have always agreed with Supreme Court decisions, but I have to go with the Vermont Supreme Court on this one. People say if the select board can claim a protection zone easement they're coming for your land next. That is blatant fear-mongering and has no place in town politics.

Todd McFarlane Weighs In on the Creative Process
Friday, May 20, 2005
Since this update will be the beginning of many, I thought it would be entertaining and useful to start at the initial stages of the Spawn: Animation project and take you through some of the different steps that will be worked on. Some of this information and visuals will be very interesting, while other pieces might seem a tad boring, but all are necessary. The reality of animation is there are so many components that need to be addressed and so many details that need to be taken care of in bringing a script to life, that you might be amazed at how intricate it all is.
As the weeks go by, we will be bringing you updates on all aspects of this project and give you a glimpse into some visuals that you would otherwise never have a chance to see. Items will include character designs, prop designs and backgrounds. Since this is the start of showing you an "insiders" look at the animation, it only makes sense to begin at the beginning:
Todd McFarlane Productions in association with Todd McFarlane Entertainment and Film Roman (FR) agreed to re-introduce Spawn to the world of animation through a feature-length direct-to-DVD movie. Going the "direct-to-DVD" route allowed us the freedom to tell the type of story I'd envisioned, without being hampered by any restrictions on the story content. Whatever I wanted to see onscreen would be there.
At the same time, we are attempting to create a show that -- with careful editing -- could become our backdoor pilot episode for a TV network in the future. The idea is to use parts of the finished product as a presentation tool when we go to the networks and cable channels to "pitch" the series as a weekly program.
Obviously, I'd like to see Spawn back on HBO and will make them the first place we go. After that we will look into other channels that might be just as well-suited to run this show. But -- and here's the best part of the deal we struck -- if no one in Hollywood wishes to pick up the show to distribute, we are set to bring the story out in DVD form regardless. Either way, the fans come out ahead.
The head company that owns the animation division is one of the biggest distributors of DVDs in the nation. What that means for us (and eventually you the consumer) is there will be a definate release of this animation. Unlike so many projects in Hollywood where you can develop something for years and never have it made, we have started a process that will be seen on televisions screens, no matter what, come early 2006.
So this is coming next year guaranteed. Now let's talk about the creative process…
Since this first story is a feature-length movie, we needed to create a script that would be roughly 80 pages in length (one page per minute, give or take, is the standard rule of thumb in Hollywood). This isn't as easy as it sounds. There are a number of factors to weigh when writing a script, especially when working on subject matter that has the diverse history of Spawn.
To get our project off the ground, I began with trying to set the mood I wanted to capture instead of concentrating on the actual story first. Since I had ultimately been selected to write the script, along with Spawn comic writer Brian Holguin, (more on that later) I wanted to make sure that the environment Spawn lived in would be dark and gritty. We began the process of coming up with a story by talking to each other over the phone as we established some broad strokes as to what direction we wanted the plot to go. From there, characters, settings, motivations, etc., all needed to be strung together into a coherent storyline that would be worthy for our first animation project since the end of the HBO series. Once all of this was laid out, we moved on to the most important step in the storytelling process: script development. This is where those important elements are put together to create the story we will all see next year.
The new characters we created had been interesting and quirky enough to stand out as individuals, but real enough for you to believe in their emotions, their fears, their entire world actually. Additionally, each character had to be able to exist in the same environment with all the others. Realism and exchange of dialogue are also important in creating a believable story with authentic characters. All of this, along with subplots and pacing, are key to the story's success and its ability to hold an audience's interest. Regardless of how visually interesting the film looks, without believable characters the story would fall flat.
Another of the biggest challenges we faced was the expectations of the fans who had already seen the prior three seasons of the HBO animated series. These viewers' expectations – remember, they've been waiting patiently for five years -- had to be kept in mind. As such, I felt there needed to be some thought given to the fact that the character Spawn had appeared in animation before. For instance, since the HBO series ended with some unanswered questions, do we pick up where we left off or start anew? What was the best way to get back in front of a new audience without alienating the old one? This was the million-dollar question. It was debated a number of times, sometimes calmly, sometimes not-so-calmly, as I took into account the opinions of many others, from other producers to people working around me. Finally, I decided we should use this initial movie as a jumping-on point. Essentially, we would be starting over. This would give us the opportunity to reinvent what had happened to this character in his five-year absence.
We had a huge opportunity to tell an interesting story where the sky is the limit as far as visual storytelling is concerned. Now, the concept had to be hammered out. I had a rough idea in my head of a Spawn story very different from any I've told before. In the beginning, I was not scheduled to write the script, so our challenge was to find a writer who would be able to forget whatever they may have known about Spawn and accept some new ideas. From these initial broad ideas I described to them, the potential writers had to create an interesting plot along with endearing new characters, great pacing and drama. Of course, a cool climax as well. No small order, especially when it was coming from a perfectionist like myself, whose main character is very near and dear to his heart.
Starting in mid-2004 and continuing through October, executive producer and TME President Terry Fitzgerald, Film Roman executive Sidney Clifton and I went through round after round of interviews with potential writers. I would sit on the phone for an hour explaining how the new animation should be treated and they would take notes. We talked about this unique new vision of Spawn and the world he would occupy. The writers would respond as though they understood what I was conveying and on occasion would even ask an interesting question or two. But time after time, I received back writing samples from these potential scribes that left me wondering if the person submitting the story was in fact the same person I had spoken with only a few days before. Although the stories themselves may have been interesting, they were not the direction I was looking for, after this long absence of the character in this medium. We couldn't just do more of the same. I felt the audience would be expecting more from us. We quickly became discouraged.
Soon, October melted into November and by this time I was getting fed up with the process of finding a writer to write something that I'd been living with in my head. Not to mention, we were beginning to fall a little behind schedule – it was already three months later than we were hoping to get started.
After months of disappointing interviews, we decided to enlist the services of someone who knows Spawn quite well. Enter Brian Holguin, the current writer of the Spawn comic book, who agreed to help me take a pass at writing the animation script. With his knowledge of Spawn -- both the characters and the shadowy world in which they live -- he would be able to help me capture the mood and feel of the story I had envisioned. Brian and I tossed around the ideas we had, then quickly set to work putting them into script form. Once the script was completed, we were really ready to get things rolling. Before I give you the illusion that writing a script is easy, let me give you a timeline of how long that process took before everyone involved has signed off on it:
November 2004 – with Brian Holguin on board to assist me with writing the script, brainstorming begins between me, Brian and executive producer Terry Fitzgerald in an effort to flesh out the basic concept before Brian began his first draft.
Early February 2005 – first draft of the script is handed in from Brian to me.
Two weeks pass as I rewrote and fine-tuned the story. Terry and I sign off on this first pass.
Mid-February – TMP submits the first draft to Film Roman for their comments.
End February – A marathon conference call with Film Roman takes place to discuss their ideas, changes and comments.
Janet Jamarillo, Terry's cohort, was in the room with me during my phone conversation with Film Roman, taking notes and keeping track of everything being said. She also needed to be fluent in all aspects of the story as she would be directly involved in helping us facilitate the onslaught of work that would be inevitably coming my way. Terry was on the other end of the call, in LA sitting with the hordes of people from Film Roman. There was a tremendous amount to cover in that one big "notes call." On my end, here in Arizona, Janet said it was interesting to see my reaction to some of the script notes. At times I would nod my head in agreement or let out an occasional "not bad." Other times I would give a mischievous smirk—the people on the other end of the line didn't yet see the long-term goal of this first story. After that call, more work needed to be done on the script and I dug in.
Mid-March 2005 - after both Brian and I addressed the comments from Film Roman, the second draft was finalized, internally approved and sent over to them. This time, it was sent with an air of conviction that this would be, in fact, the final version of the story.
Later Mid-March 2005 - a meeting at the Film Roman offices was set up so I could act out some of the more subtle scenes in the script. From time to time, there are moments that simply do not translate through the written word and I figured they could get a better grasp of certain scenes if they were able to "see" them instead of reading them. This was a very successful meeting and a big part of allowing our partners, who were now becoming immersed in Spawn's world, to understand the story. A few final, minor notes were given and ...
March 30th - the final draft of the animation script was approved by all and locked!
The heart of our project was now complete. It was a long, tiring, but important step, which in the end was worth every second. The effort and notes by everyone went a long way toward creating a much stronger script from which we would build a whole new world. Spawn's world. A world of darkness and pain. Love and loss. Hatred and betrayal. The Hellspawn is now set to return and nothing will be the same.

Instead, the breath freshener of choice with the Hogwarts set are these Peppermint Humbugs. And making these Potter-centric candies at home might just be the most fun-filled project in Dinah Buchholz's The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. These vibrantly green, minty sweets are equal parts hard candy and taffy. More

As promised, Adobe announced that the Flash player app won't support Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Adobe will continue to provide updates for the existing users, but starting from August 16 the Flash player app will no longer be available for new users in the Google Play Store.
"Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th," informs Adobe.
An obvious consequence is that "there will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1," so no Android Jelly Bean device will bundle the Flash player.
When you update to Android 4.1, the Flash player will still be installed, but Adobe recommends users to uninstall it because "the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior". Some Jelly Bean users report that the Flash plugin still works well.
Now that Adobe's app will no longer support future Android versions and the mobile Chrome has no Flash support, Android will lose an important advantage and Flash's relevance will continue to diminish. It was a bumpy journey and, even though the user experience wasn't great, it was nice to know that you can open a page even if it uses Flash.

10 ideas you can do on your hen night
Top 10 Ideas You Can Do On Your Hen Night
It's time to organise your hen party, and you know what that means… the copious quantities of vodka, the male stripper, those stretch limos that always seem to appear on nights like these… No, wait – you want your hen party to be a bit more distinctive than that?
Of course you do – it's a pretty unimaginative and old-fashioned hen partier who hankers for much of the above these days. Everybody wants something different for their last night of freedom – and here are 10 of the best ideas for making that a reality.
1. Clamber on board the London Eye
Don't look sullen in those tourist queues – instead, use every Brit's favourite Ferris wheel to kick-start your hen party in style. Marvel at the panoramic skyline of the city as you chug that champagne in the company of your nearest and dearest fellow hens, in your own private capsule.
2. Get knee-deep in the mud at a music festival
Are you too precious to get yourself caked in the dirt before prettifying yourself for the walk down the aisle? Didn't think so. From the V Festival to Latitude and the evergreen Glastonbury, you'll have definite fun amid the overflowing toilets, pouring rain and titchy tents. And music as well, obviously.
3. Have your own Great British Bake Off
Baking seems to be taking over our TV screens, so it might as well take over your hen night as well. Make sushi, bread, cupcakes… or anything, really. After all, there are loads of classes on offer, seemingly everywhere.
4. Make that make up masterclass
Few hen night activities have any continuing value once the party's a mere memory. This is decidedly not one of them. Share a giggle with the girls while learning how to flatter yourself with mascara for once.
5. Be thrilled at an amusement park
There's nothing that gets you feeling like a kid again, quite like an amusement park. Choose the most white-knuckle attraction you dare – the one that you were petrified of as a child – and then await those hideous photos of you screaming your head to within an inch of its life.
6. Surf's up in… Newquay?
Yes, Newquay. It's not Hawaii, granted, but it's the UK's surf capital, so it'll have to do. Actually, we're being harsh – and you'll realise that you were, too, after a few days of tuition combined with suitably exhilarating (and probably hilarious) practice.
7. Record the next Thriller… or not
Fair enough, so you might not possess the singing chops of La Toya Jackson, let alone Michael Jackson, but that's not the point of a hen party recording session. Whether or not your night's efforts end up on CD, what it's about is that ultimate one-time pop star treatment.
8. Replace the stripper with nude drawing classes
Keep the customary naked guy, but have him in an art studio where you can brush up on your drawing and painting skills. Every hen involved will feel so much more arty and sophisticated at the end of the night. It's great for those preferring a low key, more therapeutic hen night.
9. Dance, dance, dance
You'll certainly be saying "yowsah, yowsah, yowsah" to dance lessons that make you the star of your next appearance at the disco – and with classes encompassing everything from Bollywood dance to Salsa, you're not limited in how you boogie.
10. Make that bingo hall virtual
Bingo… it's the ultimate time-honoured game of chance. It never goes out of fashion and is wonderful way to bond with others. You don't even need to head out to the local bingo hall. Just get every fellow hen joining an online bingo site of your choice, and bingo games can be the centre of the perfect girly hen night in.
Bingo – My New Hobby
Being a middle aged woman, who stays at home most of the day looking after my baby I tend to get slightly bored in the afternoon's when Sasha my baby is sleeping. Normally he dozes off around 2pm just after lunch and doesn't wake until 5pm. So for 3 whole hours I get to relax! Sometimes I even go for a doze myself as any mother would. Looking after a baby can be so tiring as I am sure you know!
So I decided that rather than sleep every afternoon I would try and do something which would be fun for me! So for five weeks in a row I give the following 5 activities a try in order of which ones I enjoyed the most! They go from playing games to knitting!
1. Online Bingo
Online bingo is a new thing over the last 7 years. Its fun, you can play for free on some sites and you get to meet loads of great people. I started off playing at Butlers Bingo an online bingo site. I immediately got chatting with the chat host of the game and a few other players. I deposited roughly £10 and when all was square, after my hour, I was up £50! Not bad for a few hours work! Playing online bingo was so much fun, the time really flew in and before I knew it I had to go back to my motherly duties!!
2. Reading
As a child and an adult I loved reading books. When I got married and my baby came along, a lot of my free time was taken up by him. So my reading dropped off and I had not read a book in over 3 years. So I decided it was time to take this up again. I read a few books including Angela's Ashes, The Firm by John Grisham which was a fantastic book ( I think there is a film of it starring Tom Cruise?) and I also read a book on online bingo strategies.
3. Cooking
I love food, it is definitely one of my passions. With a little one it is hard to get the time to cook anything which takes a considerable amount of time. Baking is what I love. Baking cakes and buns and other pastries. I spent a few afternoons last week baking some swiss rolls, apple tart, and fairy cakes…yum yum yum!!
4. Knitting
OK OK so not something glamorous I admit but it was therapeutic in a weird way. I could to create something. My mom taught me to knit when I was a teenager and this brought back some childhood memories. I started to knit a woolly jumper for next winter! I will let you know how it goes!
5. Poetry Writing
When I was at school and when I was at university I loved writing poetry. Some of my best pieces were written when I was a child and I won quite a few poetry competitions in the state I lived in. Normally I would enter competitions at school, newspaper competitions and even through our local church. I started writing poetry again but I found it a lot more difficulty than it used to be. I think it will be a while before my creative juices start to flow again.
So to sum up I tried 5 activities over the last 5 weeks and the one which I found the most enjoyable was playing the online bingo at Butlers Bingo. It was thoroughly enjoyable, and I got to meet a lot of new friends.

Have you heard of Tucker Max? He's an asshole. He says so himself, at the very top of his website. He's also sold over 2 million books as a pioneer of what the New York Times dubbed "fratire" in their 2006 story on the Duke Law School grad's first bestseller. If you're unacquainted with Max's oeuvre, take a second and get to know the purveyor of testosterone-fueled tales of midget sex and binge drinking.
Max built a career detailing his life in his 20s, getting wasted and bedding women. Today he's 36. He needs a new schtick. At least, that's what he told Forbes contributor Michael Ellsberg in January: he was retiring, both as a player and chronicler of 'the game'.
Evidently, his PR adviser Ryan Holiday was in agreement. This week, Holiday wrote a Forbes.com post on Max's bid to both clean up his image and score a tax write-off by offering a $500,000 donation to Planned Parenthood. He'd get an abortion clinic named after him and do some good in the meantime, Holiday thought. Except Planned Parenthood rejected the offer, releasing the following statement on its gift policy:
Like many nonprofits, Planned Parenthood reserves the right to decline offers of gifts and grants that may be discriminatory, are for purposes outside of our mission, or are too difficult to administer.
PP wouldn't elaborate on that statement when I called on Wednesday, but I think we're safe to read "discriminatory" as "we're not taking money from an infamous misogynist" and "difficult to administer" as "there's no way his name's going on our building." Cue hand-wringing from Holiday and Max himself, who took to his own blog on Wednesday denying his planned donation was a stunt and claiming to be pro-women (one could argue that there's plenty of evidence to the contrary, bestselling and otherwise).
Planned Parenthood is both in need of money and under attack, especially in Texas, where Max tried to make his donation. In the wake of the Susan G. Komen defunding debacle, did the nonprofit make the right choice refusing Max's half a million? The reaction both from the blogosphere and from PR experts has been a resounding yes.
"To me, the PP call is a no-brainer," said Anthony Johndrow, managing partner at the Reputation Institute. "They're already under assault and have no human face. To risk their only face being that of this guy puts their entire reputation at risk. I run into an analogous situation all the time – companies are debating association of their name with other organizations or individuals. Look at Tiger Woods post-scandal: people are not very stable reputation platforms for organizations."

Perhaps you've heard about Chicago's newest high-profile newspaper blogger/columnist, who will be writing about parenting, dating, and "family issues." A psychology expert? Perhaps someone with expertise in family counseling?
Nope. In this case, the newest addition is a sometime actress-slash-model whose degree, to quote the columnist herself, came straight from Google U. It's Jenny McCarthy, and if you've got an interest in autism, public health, or critical thinking, that very name might have you wringing your hands–or slugging a nearby wall.
Paul Raeburn traces McCarthy's history at MIT's Knight Science Journalism Tracker:
McCarthy has become a prominent voice for those who believe, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary, that vaccines cause autism. More than that, however, she has promoted an anti-science view of autism in which her "mommy instinct" trumps any scientific finding. In 2007, a day after the appearance of her book Louder than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism, she was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. According to Seth Mnookin, who wrote about this in his book The Panic Virus, McCarthy told Winfrey she got her "degree" in autism from "the University of Google."
More at Chicago Sun-Times signs Jenny McCarthy to write parenting advice blog | Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT.
McCarthy has no expertise in autism, Google U notwithstanding, and no credentials in science. She remains on the board of directors of Generation Rescue, an organization devoted to the debunked notion that vaccines cause autism and that autistic people can be "recovered" from their autism by way of various unproven and sometimes dangerous interventions, including chelation. I'm baffled that the Sun-Times would give someone with this public record of ignoring evidence in favor of indigo children a voice as a columnist.
As Raeburn wrote at the Knight Science Journalism Tracker:
McCarthy is entitled to her opinion and her mommy instinct, but she's not entitled to the validation and amplification that come with a job as a daily blogger for the Sun-Times.
A track record demonstrating expertise should matter for a public voice. I'd never expect someone to hire me to, say, write about acting or dating Jim Carrey. But the fact that Jenny McCarthy has no credentials to go on Larry King and toss an obscenity at three pediatricians in her best effort at scientific counterpoint didn't stop her from doing exactly that. And her nonexistent journalism experience and poor record on evidence-based discourse hasn't stopped the Chicago Sun-Times from handing her what USA Today's Maria Puente called "a megaphone." Given McCarthy's assiduous campaign to confound one of the most successful public health initiatives in human history, I'd like to advise that the megaphone be put in a permanent timeout … or handed over to someone with the credentials to use it.

As if it wasn't already, it's officially a rivalry now.
Summerville softball had dealt Wando three playoff losses the past two seasons. Reunited in the playoffs for the third straight season Saturday, the Warriors began evening the score.
Wando defeated Summerville, 3-2, in the opening round of the AAAA Lower State tournament Saturday in Mount Pleasant. The Warriors advance to face the winner of the Stratford-Bluffton game, while Summerville will play the loser.
The Green Wave moved the tying run to third base with two outs in the top of the seventh inning. Freshman right-hander Alyssa Heinrich (19-9) sealed the win for the Warriors with her sixth strikeout of the day.
Heinrich scattered seven hits, allowed one earned run with no walks through seven innings in the win. More than 70 percent of her 103 pitches went for strikes.
"Rivalries like this are one of the great parts of high school," Wando head coach Steve Legette said. "(Heinrich) is a great up-and-coming pitcher. We thought it could be a duel today. We told her to just attack. Trust her defense, trust her fundamentals and mechanics and that was the secret."
Summerville (24-5) picked up two runs in the first inning with a sacrifice bunt from Sarah Windham to score Taylor Powell, and a single from Taylor Belfiore to drive in Anna Gluhosky.
Kendall Schweers put Wando (19-9) on top in the second, driving the first pitch she saw to the wall in center field for a bases-clearing, two-out double to score Morgan Howard, Brooke Aden and Katelyn Cribb.
Summerville pitcher Summer Jenkins (18-4) allowed the Warriors just two hits the rest of the day. While Jenkins cruised, the Green Wave offense left a runner stranded in scoring position each of the final three innings.
Jenkins tallied six strikeouts while allowing three earned runs off four hits and three walks. Powell led the Green Wave at the plate, hitting 3 for 4 with a run scored. Howard finished 2 for 3 with a run scored, hitting in the five slot for Wando.
"A little disappointed in our offensive production today," Summerville head coach Heather Tucker said. "We didn't do a great job of adjusting at the plate. Close ball game, you get a runner in scoring position, you just need that one hit and unfortunately we couldn't find it."

Penn Neurology cares for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or motor neuron disease.
ALS is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord (nerve cells) that control muscles. This results in muscular weakness that worsens over time while producing ever increasing physical disabilities. It can culminate in life threatening weakness of breathing and/or swallowing muscles.
Diagnosing ALS
Penn neurologists offer consultation and advanced neurodiagnostic testing to diagnose ALS. The diagnosis of ALS is made from evaluating a patient's medical history and performing a complete physical examination by a neurologist experienced in neuromuscular disorders.
Diagnostic tests may include:
- Biopsy of nerve and/or muscle
- Laboratory testing (blood, urine, spinal fluid)
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
- Nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG)
- Neuroimaging (MRI or CT scanning of brain and spine)
Treatment for ALS
Penn's ALS Center is designated by the national Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association (ALSA) as a Center of Excellence providing multidisciplinary care to patients with ALS and related disorders. Center goals include:
- Establishing a definitive diagnosis in patients referred for possible ALS
- Providing comprehensive care, once a diagnosis is established, in a supportive and understanding environment, which will enable the patient to attain the best possible level of neurological functioning and the best possible quality of life
The ALS Team
Our team consists of experienced providers from multiple disciplines including, neurology, pulmonology, nursing, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, nutrition, social service, mental health, genetic counseling, and assistive technology. Patients benefit from personalized care throughout the course of the disease, while family and caregivers benefit from our support services.
The ALS Center offers patients and families the following services:
- A multidisciplinary approach to care to maximize patient function
- Coordinated care with primary care physicians
- Ongoing individualized care of patients with ALS
- Opportunities to participate in research protocols
- Patient and family education about the disease process and expectations
- Patient and family education about the latest research initiatives
- Specialized services for patients with ALS and related disorders
Treatment for ALS may include the following:
- Medications (including Riluzole®)
- Occupational therapy
- Physical therapy
- Speech therapy
Research and Clinical Trials for ALS
The ALS Center actively engages in research. Patients can elect to enroll in a clinical trial of a drug or other treatment. Patients can also elect to participate in research in neuroimaging, biomarkers, genetics, cognitive function and brain donation through our close collaboration with Penn Neuroradiology, the Penn Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) Center and the Penn Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research.

OCEAN CITY — Allegations that City Manager David Recor was suicidal and violent during a recent encounter with his wife were included in court documents filed this month.
On May 10, Maria Recor obtained a temporary protective order against her husband after an incident on May 5 in Fort Meyers, Fla., where the couple was with family for their daughter's college graduation.
In her written petition for protection from her husband of 23 years, Maria Recor wrote, "On Sunday evening, May 5, David was angry and upset at me for not paying him enough attention. We were at a vacation house and he climbed to the roof top and was threatening to jump. I told him to come back over, his daughters could hear and see. I had hold of his arm, keeping him on the railing. He said you don't love me and I said no I don't. He swung at my face and hit me near the eye. He then came over the railing and pushed me violently to the ground twice, my head slamming into the ground. He then arrived to our home and took my car."
City manager since June of last year, David Recor issued a statement this week after the court records were made public.
"This is a very difficult time for myself and my family. I thank everyone in advance for respecting my privacy during this very painful and personal matter," Recor's statement read.
In the meantime, it was business as usual for Recor this week, but he did have a noticeable black eye. On Monday, he was present at the Police Commission and Tourism Commission meetings. On Tuesday afternoon, he was in attendance at the Mayor and Council work session and then later participated in the Recreation and Parks Commission meeting.
The Mayor and Council did not discuss the allegations publicly at Tuesday's meeting, and there have reportedly been no discussions on action being taken against Recor or talks about his future with the city.
The temporary protective order maintains Recor cannot contact his wife or enter her residence in Ocean City. David Recor's address is listed as Onancock, Va., while Maria Recor's address is Ocean City. A final protective order hearing is set for May 17 at 10 a.m. in Snow Hill.
Mayor Rick Meehan on Wednesday said he and David Recor took part in a conference call together that morning and the city manager is continuing with his work obligations.
"He is moving forward with his duties and I think he will continue to do so. I have confidence in David and I have confidence in his abilities to lead our city," Meehan said. "David's a quiet man. He has a good presence at City Hall and everybody at City Hall supports him and enjoys working with him. I think they all want to continue with business as usual."
Meehan shied away from questions regarding the content of the protective order.
"That's a personal matter, and I don't think it's all been resolved. I think we need to wait and let that all play out and see what happens. I think it's best to not comment and give them the opportunity to work this out and move forward," Meehan said.
In her handwritten order, Maria Recor spells out a history of domestic issues. She wrote there has been, "numerous occasions of physical violence over past 23 years against both myself and two oldest daughters."
Maria Recor's comments about her husband are not the first heard about a volatile-at-times David Recor, who came to Ocean City last year from Fort Pierce, Fla., where he served as city manager from 2008 to 2012.
In an interview last May with The Dispatch after Recor was selected to be Ocean City's top appointed official, at a salary of approximately $147,000 a year, Fort Pierce Commissioner Reggie Sessions, one of his former bosses, called Recor an intelligent leader, but said he does have a temper.
"David's young. When you are young, you tend to have a stronger pride … and he has some characteristics about him in terms of his nature and response and temper sometimes with individuals in the political field. They realize that he's volatile and will react … that will sometimes cause problems for him." During an interview with The Dispatch the next week in May 2012, Recor addressed Sessions' claims about his temper.
"Commissioner Sessions has offered some very good advice that I have taken to heart. That is to be meek and humble and not react to the political criticisms. Meek and humble has been great advice. Knowing when to hit the pause button has been another piece of good advice. Not every criticism or point, whether it's accurate or just wrong, is worthy of a response, in other words. Not everything merits a response," he said. "I think what Reggie was really referring to was some of the folks here knew how to push my buttons. There were attacks on my family by some, and there's no being meek and humble about those sorts of things. That's just uncalled for, no matter who you are. I have taken constructive criticism over the years and I have learned from it, and I have never been afraid to admit when I made a mistake. What I believe is that's important to acknowledge when a mistake has been made because that's the only way you learn from it."

Step 1: Tools needed
Step 2: Your design on the Pumpkin
I found a suitable Darth image that was laser etched on to the back or a white PSP (you'll find it if you search google images!)
I saved it, zoomed in on my laptop, held some paper over the screen and traced the outline.
I then cut this out and taped it to the pumpkin.
Top Tip!
If your Pumpkin has been refrigerated make sure you allow it to rise to room temperature before you stick anything on it, as condensation will form on the skin.
Step 3: Cutting!
I used the large chisel type blade to chop out the major detail.
Top tip!
start from the middle and work out. This keeps the pumpkin strong. I chopped out the large bits first which was a bad thing to do!
I then changed to the smaller angled scalpel like blade for the more delicate work.
Step 4: Results
I had one problem where I sliced through a major section of my pumpkin, so I used a small carpenters nail to re attach it.
I hope you found this useful, if you have any questions post a comment below and I'll see if I can help you out :)

Never impulse buy
I was about to make an impulse purchase buy for the Tama metal works 5.5x14 snare drum. I do that once in a while, and the wife is not happy at all with me when I do that.
However, the salesman and I started talking about my older equipment and he told me that he would sell me the tama snare for $150.00 if, I throw in my two year old Catalina jazz snare and my two year old 20" Zildjian K session ride cymbal.
I smiled enthusiastically and said it was a good deal and that I would think about, knowing full well that I was just mistaken for a mark in a caravel and he was trying to screw me with a large acme thread. I never went back to the small shop in Nyack NY, and perhaps with actions like this it will never get very large.
If I wanted to sell either of these items, I knew they were worth more than $50.00 for both. I did not know the value of this Tama snare at the time, because I did not research it. But, when I got home I went online and found that I could purchase the snare at the time was selling for $150.00 with free shipping as well.
Hopefully, the internet will make scenes like this a thing of the past. Everyone is now able to price shop at light speed. Thank you Leonard Kleinrock, the inventor of the internet. (Please no Al Gore jokes)
Here are the conclusions to this story;
1. Never impulse buy.
2. Always know the average price before hand.
These two are lessons to me as well as friendly advice to others.
3. Do not over sell the sale. The salesman, if he was aware of what was going on, he would have tried to close the deal and been done with it. Instead he went over the snares bearing edge and got greedy.
4. Do not get greedy. This salesman could have stopped at selling the snare at a higher profit, but he wanted to get more than just one sale out of the deal and ended up loosing this sale and my business.

I take my iPhone with internet capability now everywhere and used it to price a new computer printer at Staples by showing the salesman the same thing at Amazon.con. He said they didn't match with internet stores only true stores so I left and bought it online with free shipping. My phone has made me impulse free.

Re: Never impulse buy
Smart move,
I also always sleep on any deal before committing.
I also always research what I want to buy.
Last week there was a new Mapex snare on eBay for $145 or best offer plus $15 shipping.
I googled it and I found that Casico had 6 of them in stock for $130 shipped.
I bid $105 on the eBay snare to make it $120 shipped.
No one else bid, and the auction ended.
The seller refused my offer.
A few days later I won a better Sonor snare for $125 shipped.
When you are using eBay your impulse is to bid and beat the other guy and win the item.
That's wrong! If it's a bad deal, move on, until a good deal comes along.

Re: Never impulse buy
Yes, that "deal" was a stinker. What a shark.
I agree with the "never impulse buy" theme, and not just when faced with used drum salesmen. I'd like to add "don't scrimp on purchases" too. I was desperate for something to practice on and bought a cheap e-kit, figuring anything was better than nothing. Bad move. The pads have lousy bounce, the triggering is uneven (the difference between tap and TAP is a hair's breadth) and the cymbal triggers have dead spots.
For an extra $400, which I could afford, I would have had a reasonable Yammie e-kit. Stupidity.

Re: Never impulse buy
I don't really agree, at all..... you just need to know a good deal, when you see one.
A few years ago, a painter/cat I knew, bought two amps, off a commercial job site he was working on. After working all day, thinking, getting buyers remorse, by chance he runs into me, at the local coffee house. Tells me his story. One amp, he gave to his "helper", for payment, for the day. The "other" amp, it's in his truck. I ask him, ...... "so, what do you want for it" ..... his reply, ...... "I just want to get my money back out of it". Which was $50. Well hell, I got $50 in my pocket, so I say, ...."OK, let's take a look at it".
Well, first thing I see, is it's a Fender. It's a Twin Reverb. It's a Black Face. So I ask him .... "Does it work?" .... His reply, .... "Man, I don't even know. Guy I bought it from says it works, but I don't even have a guitar right now, to check it out. I just wanna get my money back out of it, I think".
So I gave the cat $50 for it, and we put it in my truck. Run it up to my buddies amp shop the next day, it works, but it's a little noisy. My amp guy says he can "clean it up". I told him "do it".
We sold that amp for $800.

Re: Never impulse buy
If I know something is a deal, I hop on it, knowing that I can at least make my money back on it if I decide to sell it. If it's something I'm not looking for, personally, I'll pick it up if it's something one of my students would want. If I'm not sure it's a deal, but I *might* be interested, I'll whip out my phone and price-check online. Pretty handy.

Re: Never impulse buy
Yeah good thing you thought about that or you would have gotten screwed. I went to my local shop once to get a quote on a tama artwood snare drum. I was ordering through the shop because I didn't have a debit/credit card at the time. I just cashed my check and stuck the money in my pocket. I tell the guy behind the counter what i wanted. He comes back 15 mins later with 550 dollar quote for what i know is a 250 dollar drum. I was like no thank you and walked out of the store.

Re: Never impulse buy
What I have found, is that there is "Suggested Retail price," (SRP) "Average Retail Price," (ARP) and the "Real Price," (RP).
The SRP seems to be a fictional price that the manufacturer sets so they can make an appearance of discounts. The SRP is usually the price that is shown in the manufacturers catalogs. The SRP is usually close to double what the ARP usually is.
When you look at an ad from Musician's Friend or Guitar Center, they have the ARP in them. The RP is what you should be paying. The RP is usually starts at about 87% of what the ARP is.
The hard part is that you have to find a store that gives you the RP right away. This is so you do not have to go back to the stores to get them to lower the price all the time. No one really likes wasted time. Wasted time is too hard to play. I know how to play cut time is, but how do you play wasted time?
So this is what I have found out. Perhaps many of you learned this lesson already. But I am evolving slowly each day I learn something new.

The last thing I "wanted" was an 18 Inch Custom A. China. It is awesome. Clears the room when I hit, however I was clear in my intentions, didnt need it.
Thats a pretty good place to be and great advice all around.

Re: Never impulse buy
Well, I am ready to make a purchase on a new shell pack. My Catalina Jazz Gretsch needs an upgrade. I emailed and visited many shops. I got some good prices, and when I asked for some shops to match my price, many of them, but not all, came back and matched the price.
Here is the question; why should I go back to these shops that gave me a higher price at first? This tells me that in the future they will do the same thing and I really can't trust them to give me a good price right away in the future. They will not remember my name a few years from now. When I visit the shop they will not remember that I gave them a lot of business. If they do remember, they will remember that I nickeled and dimed them. I gave the shops a chance to come clean and to give me the best price right away, but should I go back to them after I found out how much more they were trying to make from of me?

Re: Never impulse buy
They won't remember you, Those days are gone in retail for the most part.
The retail world simply doesn't work that way anymore.
Customers don't have loyalty anymore either.
I see it everyday in my work.
A customer will get a price from me to repair their car.
My price will be higher because I only use the best, let's say Brake Pads.
They take the car to another shop and they have cheap Brake Pads installed.
They then bring the car to me and they ask me if I can do anything because they are not happy with the brake job that the other shop did with the cheap parts.
I tell them that I can only do the brake job over again with the parts that I suggested.
They say never mind and they leave!
They have no loyalty to me and I have no loyalty to them.
I just go to the next flower like the bee that is looking for nectar.

Re: Never impulse buy
I do a lot of research before I buy most anything, including electronics, musical equipment, appliances, cars, etc. I don't like being pressured into buying before I'm ready, and I hate the feeling afterward of being burned. On a rare occasion I'll impulse buy if I get the feeling it is a good deal.
eBay can be great but it can also be a total ripoff as others have shown examples of. If I lose out on a bid, then it just wasn't meant to be. Same goes for an item that sells while you think about it.
"Through many dangers, toils and snares..." - Amazing Grace, third verse
Re: Never impulse buy
This is probably straight forward advice but I've found my best strategy on eBay is to to decide how much I'm willing to pay for something- bid that and then walk away. eBay will do it all for me and let me know the outcome.
This means I'm never in a bidding war with anyone and pay too much
Yes I've lost plenty of auctions this way - but it's already been said that it was not meant to be
Re: Never impulse buy
I agree that you should decide how much you are willing to spend, and then stick to that. However, I always wait until the last few seconds of an auction to bid.
If you bid early what happens is this: other people bid, and are told they were outbid. So they bid again and again until their bid finally tops yours. Or they give up if it's getting too high for them. But the result is that the price of the item gets driven up higher than it might be otherwise. Early bidding is great if you are the selller, but bad for a buyer.
If you wait until the final seconds, you don't show your cards. No one knows how much you have decided to spend. The price hasn't been prematurely driven up, and you can see if it's likely you can win, or if you're already priced out. Everyone is feeling pretty sure about how the auction will finish, then in the last few seconds, I swoop in with my bid and steal it away.
The only time I ever lost an auction is when I've accidentally clicked the wrong link, gone to some other page entirely, and missed bidding in time. And that's only happened once.
Now that I've given my secret away, I hope I don't come up against any of you in an ebay auction anytime soon!

Re: Never impulse buy
Just a couple of weeks ago, I had my eyes opened about store pricing. I went to my local Sam Ash with a bit of cash, and a Paiste Signature to trade in, for which I wanted to get a Paiste 2002 22" ride in return. I got into a long discussion with the manager about how little they were willing to give me for my mint condition Signature, and the bottom line amount I wanted to spend. As I was leaving he said that classic line: "What can I do to make this deal today?"
Long story short, it turned out that even though he was limited as to what he can pay out for used gear, he had a ton on leeway on the sale price of the 2002. I gave him a price I'd seen on the internet, and he beat it.
In the past I've gone into Sam Ash and GC and just given them the asking price. From now on, I'm gonna bargain!

George Lawrence here!
Hello all,
I figured this was the best part of this forum to post this in. I'm not looking for any discussion about me in particular but a couple of my former students told me they were looking for me on drummerworld so I figured I'd better get hip to this forum. I would like to hear from any of my former students who run into me here and would like to post what you are doing on my website.
I am currently touring with veteran rockers Poco. I've had the drum chair with them for about five years and we play about fifty gigs a year around the country and Europe and I do other gigs and sessions as well. I am also the new publisher and editor of Not So Modern Drummer Magazine. I bought the magazine from Bill Ludwig. I also am involved in the Famous Drum Company ( We are the builders of the 2x4 drum you might have seen).
I am a North Texas State University Alumni and a lot of my students from Mississippi went to NTSU as well. Among those students was Keith Carlock who I taught all through his junior high and senior high years at my shop in Jackson Mississippi. He was a badass at that young age too.
I've had a lot of people ask about specific techniques and patterns he does and thought that could be something I could offer here. I can give some insight into what he and I call "The Big Mississippi Beat". :-) I didn't teach him ALL of the technical things he is doinf. But I might have influenced his feel just because I'm a fatback groove/feel drummer too. He definitely created his own niche and his own licks but I can understand and explain what he is doing. He might have gotten the left hand thing from me; I hold mine at the very back of the stick but the right hand is all Ed Soph's doing!
I just saw Keith several weeks ago with Steely Dan in Akron Ohio ( where my George's Drum Shop is). He went on an exercise and diet regimen and lost about sixty pounds and was looking quite fit. Skinnier than he was in high school. Might have something to do with that good looking girl he just married. His dad just passed away not too long ago and I got to reminisce with him about his great dad, Henry, who was always so supportive of Keith's music career.
Anyway, I won't babble on. I don't have a lot of time to spend on forums these days with the magazine and the shop and the gigs and all, but I think this is a great place for me to check in and see who's been hunting me down ( do I owe you money?)
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to get in touch with me quick.
thanks, GL
Re: George Lawrence here!
Cool welcome to the forum. So what is "The Big Mississippi Beat"? My drum teacher mentioned it once but havent found much on it. Thanks
