Why do the kids love Call of Duty?
Jul 10
// Jonathan Holmes
From there, I asked all my parent friends if their children were into Call of Duty. With the exception of the few who have a total ban on videogames and television, they were unanimous. Their kids thought Call of Duty was cool, regardless of whether they've played it or not. Even the kids that weren't into the series reported that everyone knows that Call of Duty is either "cool" or "super cool." Not quite as cool as Harry Potter or Justin Bieber, but still pretty cool. So why is it that kids love -- or at least respect -- Call of Duty? How is it that they've even played these games? Aren't they rated M for mature? Here are a few theories. It's M for mature Ever since the ESRB came into effect, I've noticed an inverse relationship between a game's rating and a game's target audience. Everyone I know who's over 40 only plays games that are rated E (assuming they play videogames at all), those under 40 are willing to play games that are either E, T, or M, and those under 20 tend to be particularly attracted to M-rated games. This seems to be particularly true of kids under ten. It's the same old paradigm -- kids want to be grown ups, and grown ups want to be kids again. That's pretty much common knowledge when it comes to lightweight sociology. Even still, it's surprising to me how much younger kids are attracted specifically to videogames that are supposedly made for adults, while they are content with "age appropriate" books and music. These kids have no interest in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or the music of Tom Waits. They're totally content with kid-friendly fair, like the previously mentioned Harry Potter and Justin Bieber. So what do Bieber, Call of Duty, and Harry Potter all have in common? A childlike simplicity Today's kids have grown up under the shadow of 9/11 and the wars that followed. All they've ever known is a world in which some strange men from a strange country may end up killing innocent Americans. Wrapping your head around the religious, political, geo-financial, and cultural dynamics of the War on Terror is hard enough for adults, let alone kids. The Call of Duty series takes war and terrorism and turns it into a game. You've got a gun, and you and your team have to shoot the bad guys. That's really all there is to it, at least on the surface. While Activision definitely makes a token effort to present the series as more complex than that, it's arguable that the majority of Call of Duty fans couldn't care less about the series' narrative. You don't need to pay attention to the story to know what to do in a Call of Duty game. All you need to know is that you're one of the good guys, the other guys are bad, and that the path to awesomeness is paved with the dead bodies of your enemies. If I were a little kid today, terrified and confused by the concepts of war and terrorism, I'd be all about Call of Duty. On one hand, the games makes the player feel empowered and turns war into a just another game, where death is no big deal and killing is fun. That's a much easier pill to swallow than the reality of modern warfare and the death that accompanies it. Speaking of reality... It looks so real One of the biggest selling points for the Call of Duty series is its graphics. The explosions, the backgrounds, and the characters look more real than most games. Personally, it's been a long time since I've been impressed with a game for just its realistic graphics. Sure, if a game uses a realistic look to show us something interesting or imaginative, I wouldn't be opposed to it, but realism for realism's sake does nothing for me. It's like a magic trick -- when you're kid, seeing a guy pull a quarter out of your ear can transport your brain to a truly amazing place. Part of you knows it must be sleight of hand, but another part of you believes that maybe the impossible is reality. When those two parts of the brain meet, magic happens. That magic is ruined once you've looked behind the curtain. When you know how a trick is done, your childlike sense of wonder gets turned off, and your cynical "adult" brain turns on. The same goes for graphics. When all you think of when you see a "realistic"-looking game is photographs of real objects applied as texture maps, motion capture actors, particle effects, a millions of dollars worth of rendering software, the magic is gone. For most kids, none of that applies. Suspension of disbelief is a much easier feat to achieve for a young mind. When they see a realistic-looking game, they don't think about how it was made, or how much it cost to produce. They just think about how awesome it looks, and how fun it is to be in the game's world. The Call of Duty series feels more real to a kid than it ever will for me, and in that way, I envy the children. And finally... Competition is everything There isn't too much to say about this one. Call of Duty multiplayer is highly competitive; just as a kid is more likely to get deeply invested emotionally in a game of dodgeball or Pokemon cards, they're also more likely to get invested in competing in an online shooter. Adults are usually too caught up in real-life pursuits like making money, finding love, and keeping from getting too fat or otherwise shortening their lifespan. Kids don't have to worry about that stuff, so by comparison, games like Call of Duty and others feels like a much bigger deal to them. In their world, ranking yourself and your peers based on stuff like your skill and dedication to gaming makes perfect sense. This really hit home for me when I overheard my video producer Andy talking to his twelve-year-old nephew about Call of Duty: Black Ops. Growing up, Andy was his nephew's idol. Apparently, things have changed now that Call of Duty: Black Ops has entered their lives. The nephew wanted to know how many times Andy had "prestiged" in the game. Andy said, "Once, then I quit playing because I'd seen everything the game had to show me." The nephew looked appalled. "Only one prestige? I thought you were cool..." he said, his voice descending into a pit of genuine disappointment. "I've prestiged four times, and I'm still not as cool at my friend Lawrence. He's prestiged six times, and he's just eleven-years-old." Andy tried to defend himself with the old "Sorry dude, I was busy making money and going on dates with beautiful women," response, which apparently didn't do much for his rep. "I don't even want to know what your highest kill streak is," his nephew muttered. "If it's below 20, I'm going to be so disappointed." Conclusion If you walk into a room full of adults and ask them if they want to run around outside and play with some squirt guns, chances are they'll either laugh in your face, or awkwardly look away, hoping that you're just making a weird joke. Do the same thing with a group of eight- to twelve-year-olds, and they'll immediately start dividing themselves into teams, Super Soakers in hand. Call of Duty is just the videogame adaptation of squirt guns. It makes sense that kids would be drawn to it more so than many adults. The simplicity and sense of empowerment that come from taking a gun and shooting at something or someone knows no age restrictions. However, it does demand a child-like sensibility to take such pursuits seriously enough to prioritize them over other activities. That's why I'm guessing kids love Call of Duty so much. Now it's just time to wait and see how long it takes for teenagers to catch on to the fact that eight-year-olds love Call of Duty before they start hating it. I wonder what they'll start playing instead? Probably something with guns and boobs. There's nothing like boobs to keep the kids away.
I was at GameStop the other day, and there was a family in front of me in line -- a man, a woman, a baby, and what looked like a six-year-old girl. The little girl was wearing a bright green dress and seemed happy about every...
Sundays with Sagat: Affirmative Action for the overweight
Mar 08
// Jonathan Holmes
"Big guy" (Ice Hockey on the NES) Approximate Weight: 350 pounds The big guy from Ice Hockey is one of my favorite video characters ever. Sure, he promulgates the idea that obese people are slow, violent punching bags, but he's also really good at hockey. His slap shot is sublime, and he can easily beat the tar out of the two other classes in the game. It also makes a awesome sound when he bounces someone off of his belly. Wario (Wario Land, WarioWare) Approximate Weight: 275 pounds Like Earthquake from the Samurai Showdown games, Wario is a chubby, mean, greedy, and flatulent dude. He's pretty much Mario, but evil, and fatter. Is Nintendo telling us that there is a proportional relationship between how fat you are and how evil you are? Maybe. One thing is for sure, though -- Mewtroid in WarioWare is pretty much the best thing anyone has ever made ever. Mary Ivonskaya (Tobal series) Approximate Weight: 308 pounds The Wii balance board would allow Mary to play Wii Fit, but just barely. Her self esteem would likely take a hit in the process, as the thing would surely call her obese. I know how you feel, Mary. Maybe that's part of why I find you so attractive. I relate with your fat struggle. It also has to do with the fact that, despite your reported weight, you still have a rockin' hourglass figure. In fact, it's sort of hard to believe that you're 308 pounds. If you look that good, and are more than 100 pounds heavier than I am, you either have really dense muscle tissue, or you were weighed on Jupiter when your demographic data was collected for the manual of Tobal No.1. Mamma (Loaded series) Approximate Weight: 513 pounds Mamma may be an enormous, developmentally disable psychopath who alternately dresses like a baby and a giant bunny while indiscriminately murdering everyone that gets in his way, but... Yeah, that's all I got. Rufus (Street Fighter IV) Approximate Weight: 408 pounds Rufus does a lot of things right. For one, he defies the "slow fat guy" stereotype. He's one of the fastest, and most deadly, characters in Street Fighter IV. He's also an egomania-driven food addict who is thought to symbolize both the arrogance and the obesity epidemic in the United States. Sadly, now that Yun and Yang are in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, a lot of tournament players are already swapping out Rufus for either of those faster, prettier, and easier-to-use characters. Still, Rufus will always represent the brief, shining time when the "weird fat guy" was on top of the world, or at least, on top of the world of Street Fighter. Anyone who eats too much (Metal Slug series) Approximate Weight: 345 pounds Starting with Metal Slug 2, grabbing too many food pick-ups would cause you to suddenly get super fat. This fat status causes you to become slower and easier to hit, but on the bright side, your gun gets fat too, causing it to shoot fat bullets. Being fat also gives you the ability to attack your enemies with a fork. I guess that's some sort of crack at fat people? Like they are cannibals, or fork lovers, or something? Actually I hadn't thought about it until just now. I was too busy thinking about how awesome the Metal Slug series is and how it has some of the best sprite animation ever. I don't know if anyone will ever top Metal Slug 3. Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike comes close, but it doesn't quite get there. Wait, what were we talking about again? I guess that's my list, folks. I hope you liked it. There are a lot of other overweight characters I could choose, but they're either fit enough to have four-pack abs (like E. Honda), are basically appetite personified (like Quina Quen and Pac-Man) or are just blatantly gross and bad (like the Boomer and that guy from Heavy Rain). It's pretty tough to find overweight characters who play a central role in videogames who are not slow, stupid, mean, food-obsessed, or all of the above. Donut Drake is the only other one I can think of, and apparently, that whole thing was supposed to be some sort of joke. I don't claim to be a world expert on this topic, though. Maybe I'm missing something. Did I overlook your favorite fat videogame character?
This week's Sundays with Sagat is a little different. For one, it's the start of a two-part crossover with this other video series on Destructoid. Secondly, this is one of the only episodes in the series to get an accompanyi...

Did a google maps search around my parents house for bars and there isn't one in like 25 miles, so I picked up an Intel compute stick and South Park: Stick of Truth on Steam. That's more or less the drunken screaming I'm in the mood for at about the cost.

When I did my retail shift today, we were moving more Smash/Splat Wii U bundles and the Gears/Rare Replay/Ori XB1 bundles than Uncharted and Battlefront PS4s. I think Nintendo and MS have better value on their side this holiday. Sony got lazy.
I found this weird game called Samurai Heroes for 8 dollars today. Its not bad.
Solar Pony Django
Got Deadpool, Arkham Asylum and BioShock 1 and 2 all for 30$. Not to bad for going Black Friday shopping late.
If you haven't played Tales from the Borderlands yet, GO BUY IT! By far the funniest game I have ever played, and the characters and narrative are incredibly well written. Very few memes unlike BL2 by the way.

Played all of Life is Strange today in one sitting. Bloody hell. You should all play it. Only game this year to make me cry. Bravo developers. Possibly the most valuable thing I've ever bought for £10.
Last night, got farther than ever in Wasteland 2. This is my third playthrough-once thru beta, once through the orig version, now on Directors cut. Worth the restart, and it speaks highly of the game that I like it enough to do this. DAMONTA HERE I COME!
GUYS HELP I KEEP BUYING MORE AMIIBO. Today it was Little Mac, since he went back up on Gamestop's website. I probably would have gotten Captain Falcon as well if I wasn't already running a little short on cash.
50 hours in and I can safely say that Xenoblade is the best JRPG I've played in years. Should hopefully be finished in time for X too!

How Do Your Prefer Jessica Alba's Hair?
How Do Your Prefer Jessica Alba's Hair?

Although Jessica Alba has been working hard in Vancouver on the set of her new movie The Eye, it looks like she's managing to stay in good spirits. (Ooh, maybe it has something to do with her recent reunion with Cash!) Would you just look at her long, flowing hair? It's so pretty! I am really digging the natural color and a natural wave look on her, but I'd like to know which way you prefer Jessica's hair.

Just yesterday, I dedicated a solid 200 words to Katy Perry's brand-new music video in all of its kooky, sugarcoated glory. Between a pepperoni pizza-patterned bathing suit and twerking cartoon ice cream cones, the 29-year-old entertainer out Katy Perry-ed herself, plain and simple.
But when one is asked to sing for the president and first lady, there's no need for a Pee-wee Herman-costumed backup dancer (honestly, just watch her "This Is How We Do" video). To perform at last night's Special Olympics celebration, Perry left her Jeremy Scott furs at home, instead donning a cobalt Elie Saab concoction. With long sleeves and the designer's signature beading, Perry kept her gown on the more respectful side, instead adding a bit of edge with an ear cuff and knuckle ring.
Well played, Perry. Respect.

Country case manager develops relationships
July 16, 2012
By Ms. Kim C Gillespie (USASAC)
Related Links
NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. -- As the "Army's Face to the World," the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command's work force is the Army's single-most consistent contact with 145 nations around the world. Security assistance and foreign military sales are used to build partner capacity, but they are also about building relationships.
Beth Donato, country case manager for Macedonia, under USASAC's EUCOM Regional Directorate at New Cumberland, Pa., has received a certificate of appreciation from Macedonia.
She said she finds satisfaction in providing each customer the capabilities it needs and "making the customer happy."
"Each country is unique," Donato said. That means expectations, both business and cultural, have to be adjusted for each FMS case. As a country case manager, Donato's responsibilities include executing the Letter of Offer and Acceptance by managing requisitions, monitoring funds and transportation of materiel for the sale.
"FMS cases can consist of different types of funding (State Department, Section 1206 Train and Equip authority, Foreign Military Financing, or FMF), some are open for many years, and others need to be closed by certain fiscal years," Donato said.
Col. Todd Brown, U.S. Army defense attaché for Macedonia, recognized Donato for "outstanding support to the preparation and execution of the Case Management Review held in the Republic of Macedonia." She was also thanked for "increasing the knowledge of security assistance processes and directly contributing to the more effective use of resources."
Donato is a 20-year government employee who came to USASAC in 2003 and took over as CCM for Macedonia in 2010. In the world of FMS, Donato is a relative newcomer, who quickly picked up the workload and the relationship grew as Macedonia worked to improve its interoperability with NATO and allied forces.
However, "this was the first CMR ever done for Macedonia, and I think they did not realize how much they could benefit from the information," Donato said.
Much of the CMR focused on transportation and funding issues, to include what types of transportation could save the most money and how much excess funds remained on each case that Macedonia currently have open.
Donato credits USASAC country program manager Brian Steinberg, who was also recognized by Macedonia, and her team members Lourdes Jarin, a supply specialist, and Brad Nagy, a supply technician, for making the CMR and the relationship with Macedonia a success. But she is also quick to praise her contacts in Macedonia for creating the kind of two-way communication that security assistance and FMS is intended to promote.
"Lt. Col. Michael Tarquinto, security cooperation officer, and Katerina Tanovska, assistant, from the Office of Defense Cooperation-Macedonia, are great to work with and getting to meet them in person was another benefit of the CMR," Donato said.
Donato does cite the logistics of traveling to Macedonia as a challenge to having a CMR on-site there, but because the trip was part of CMRs for neighboring countries Kosovo and Montenegro, the visits allowed full one-day meetings with each country.
Donato's supervisor, Phyllis Pritchett, EUCOM branch chief A, attributes much of Donato's success with Macedonia to the fact that "she's a people person." Pritchett also cites that Donato can "juggle lots of things," which is a characteristic that is needed for handling not only Macedonia, but her other countries which include Greece, France and Bulgaria.
"But the best thing about Ms. Donato is that if she doesn't know something, she is not afraid to ask," Pritchett said. And with every country having unique needs, that can make a world of difference in developing relationships.

The ZenFone Selfie is an ambitious phone with an interesting camera feature, but performance issues stand in the way of unlocking the camera's full potential. Most buyers should keep looking.

WHEN AND HOW DID THE UNIVERSE BEGIN? Why are we here? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the nature of reality? Why are the laws of nature so finely tuned as to allow for the existence of beings like ourselves? And, finally, is the apparent "grand design" of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion — or does science offer another explanation? In this lecture by Leonard Mlodinow, based on his co-authored book with Stephen Hawking, answers to these ultimate questions are answers based on the most recent scientific evidence. For example, Mlodinow and Hawking show that according to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history, but rather that every possible history of the universe exists simultaneously. When applied to the universe as a whole, this idea calls into question the very notion of cause and effect. The authors further explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe, and show how quantum theory predicts the "multiverse" — the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature. They conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing us and our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a complete "theory of everything." If confirmed, they write, it will be the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, and the ultimate triumph of human reason.Tags: big bang, laws of nature, m-theory, multiverse, quantum theory, string theory, theory of everything, universe

Typhoon Haiyan: Day 17
By Ernesto Cullari
Janine Cinseruli and Kimberly Perkins of Seagrass Restaurant, 68 Main Ave in Ocean Grove, are sponsoring a benefit dinner on behalf of Street Kids Philippine Missions on Wednesday December 4th at 6pm. Tickets are $50 each, cocktail hour is from 6pm to 7pm. Act now, there are only 35 more dinner reservations left. Artist Roddy Wildeman has donated a magnificent piece for auction that was inspired and constructed from debris and found wood following Hurricane Sandy. To register for the dinner Online add Ernesto Cullari on Facebook.
We all remember what it was like to live through Hurricane Sandy and the days that followed without heat or electricity. The long lines for gas and food were humbling. My friends and I would boil water and pour it in with cold bath water whenever any of us needed to wash up. We wandered about in the dark with flashlights and battery operated radios. Hot coffee and cooked food was truly splendid. We helped each other by using Facebook to figure out which stations had gasoline or who needed clothing. We rescued each other.
A year later many of you are still recovering from construction or dealing with insurance companies that don't want to honor their obligations to you. Now take everything you experienced, every hardship and every setback and put yourself in the position of someone living in the Third world, a place like the Philippines. The islands are so vast and numerous, it could take many years before their government reaches them with significant help. By then it will be too late.
I went 10 days without electricity following Hurricane Sandy. What takes 10 days here could realistically take 6 months where my mother is in the Philippines. My mother Lee who operates Street Kids Philippine Missions, an orphanage filled with 27 children and teens in Bohol, has estimated that it could take 6 months for electricity to be restored to their part of the island.
My mother reports that lines for clean drinking water, a badly needed necessity, are 3 hours long. "Everything is 3 times as expensive now because all the store operators must use gas or diesel generators to keep the refrigerators and lights on," she said. They must wash their clothes by hand and hope that their clothing can manage to dry before becoming mildewy from the Philippine's intensely humid climate.
In spite of their hardships and the devastation that surrounds them, my step dad Matt writes with joy and optimism:admin | Filed under: Typhoon Haiyan | Tags: Ernesto Cullari, Ocean Grove, Seagrass Restaurant, StreetKidsPM.org, Typhoon Haiyan | Comments Off on Typhoon Haiyan: Day 17
Smith Bill That Will Allow Churches To Collect FEMA Aid Passes House By 82%
Would Allow Houses of Worship Same Status as Other Non-Profits in Seeking Federal Disaster Assistance
The House of Representatives voted today to put houses of worship—many of which were severely damaged by Superstorm Sandy but nonetheless continued to serve ravaged coastal communities—on an even playing field with other non-profit organizations seeking disaster assistance.
H.R. 592, the "Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act of 2013," is co-authored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ-04) and Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY-06), and co-sponsored by Peter King (R-NY-02), Eliot Engel (D-NY-16), Trent Franks (R-AZ-08), Michael Grimm (R-NY-11), Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ-02), Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY-04) and Bill Pascrell Jr.(D-NJ-09).
The legislation stipulates that the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, which funds the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) disaster relief program, is a general government program under which federal assistance following a natural disaster can be rendered using criteria that are neutral with regard to religion. Congress has previously enacted laws providing financial assistance to religious nonprofit institutions, including houses of worship, on terms equal to other eligible nonprofit organizations. The bill now moves to the Senate.
The bill had 10-2 support in the New Jersey delegation. Congressmen Rob Andrews and Rush Holt voted NO.
If passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Obama, the following Monmouth County churches that sustained over $100,000 each from Superstorm Sandy stand to received FEMA funds for rebuilding:
|Christ the King (Our Lady of Mt Carmel), Long Branch
|Christ the King (Holy Trinity Church, Long Branch)
|St. James, Red Bank
|St. Ann, Keansburg
|St. Denis, Manasquan
|Church of the Precious Blood, Monmouth Beach
This bill applies to "houses of worship" only and will not impact FEMA's decision to deny funding to the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association for the rebuilding of the Ocean Grove boardwalk, according to Smith's office.Posted: February 13th, 2013 | Author: admin | Filed under: Chris Smith, Congress, FEMA, Hurricane Sandy | Tags: Bill Pascrell, Carolyn McCarthy, Chris Smith, Eliot Enfel, Federal Disater Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act of 2013, FEMA, Frank LoBiondo, Grace Meng, Houses of Worship, Michael Grimm, Ocean Grove, Ocean Grove boardwalk, Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, Peter King, Rob Andrews, Rush Holt, Trent Franks | 3 Comments »

Sir Stuart criticises charity leaders' 'insufficient concern' over fundraising

The National Lottery estimates it is losing £1m in sales a week as a result of the Health Lottery, contrary to claims by the latter that it is expanding the lottery market.
National Lottery operator Camelot has conducted its first analysis of what impact the launch of the Health Lottery in October last year has had on its sales, and found that the newcomer has chipped away at the national game's market share and says it expects its negative impact on sales to only increase.
"We believe that, at present, the National Lottery is losing around £1m a week in sales to the Health Lottery," a spokesman told civilsociety.co.uk. "We estimate that this represents at least a third of weekly Health Lottery sales. Our analysis shows that the majority of this cannibalisation is being felt by National Lottery draws that take place on a Saturday – the same day as the Health Lottery draw.
"We expect this figure to rise sharply in the coming months as the Health Lottery has publicly stated it has a number of marketing initiatives and changes to its game plan to ensure it reaches the £50m it has promised to raise for health-related charities in its first year."
Camelot said this £1m-a-week loss to the National Lottery equates to more than £20m a year less to the National Lottery's good causes. It added that as the Health Lottery, a society lottery, pays no duty on sales, this represents a loss to the Exchequer also.
Responding to the claims by Camelot, a Health Lottery spokesman said: ""Since our launch we have raised more than £10m for good causes. The Department of Media, Culture and Sport said recently that if current strong National Lottery ticket sales trends continue, National Lottery income could increase to £1.626bn in 2012/13 - £232m above what the Department had projected in September 2010.
"We have always believed the Health Lottery scheme, on behalf of the 51 CICs which participate, would inject a new lease of life into the lotteries sector, offering consumers choice without diluting the overall market. This has proved to be the case and we are delighted that people have recognised the scheme is a fun, new alternative which donates funds directly to local good causes in their areas."
The Camelot spokesman confirmed that ticket sales for the National Lottery were higher in the last quarter of 2011, but the company has attributed this increase to the promotion of 'Millionaire's Month' in December and high scratchcard sales around Christmas time, among other factors.
Just this week DCMS released figures showing that higher National Lottery ticket sales could, over the next five years, result in £1bn more to good causes than earlier forecast.
Since its launch, the Health Lottery and Camelot have been involved in an ongoing to-and-fro, with each disputing the other's figures and projections. The issue has drawn in both politicians and senior figures within civil society .
Camelot said that this detrimental impact on sales is just "one area of concern", and that its primary issue is what it alleges is the unlawfulness of the structure of the lottery itself. Camelot is still awaiting a decision by the Gambling Commission on its complaints about the set-up of the Health Lottery.

At that rate it will take 26 years for the Lottery to lose as much as the government stole from BIG in one go to pay for London 2012 infrastructure projects in 2007.

You never know what to believe I've read so many different articles for and against both lotteries. I think if they're running side my side and giving money to charity it's up to people which lottery they decide to play. I stick to Irish lottery myself because the odds of winning are much better.

If £1m a week is going from the National Lottery across to the Health Lottery that would be a pretty clear indicator that people are showing where they want their money to go to. When the National Lottery first started there was considerable debate on whether it should be used to support the health services, it looks to me as if the public are now voting with their feet and their money.
17 Feb 2012
If the National Lottery is losing £1m of sales per week, and that is only 1/3 of Health Lottery sales, then the Health Lottery IS expanding the lottery market - lottery sales are up by net £2m per week.

"Camelot said this £1m-a-week loss to the National Lottery equates to more than £20m a year less to the National Lottery's good causes."
Too true; you can bet that it won't come out of their exorbitant profits!
For the record, I have never done the Lottery and never will; I give my donations straight to the charities of my choice and cut out the 'middle man'.

Love Poem.
Challenge: to write a one line love poem (Photo credit: Михал Орела)
Never step I guess,,,
My journey so far,,,
Although heavily inflamed,,,
Over the heart is still running close to,,,
Although you do not know
This is the reality
Whole it was futile
And it is not possible
I hope all my heart
One time it came to me saying my day
None remain out,,,
Only when it set,,,
Who Was conquerors,,,
He or I,,,
And so when there is,,,
My last breath shall expire,,,
Without my knowing it
Although I was unable to
In my heart is also not capable of
That's just a lie
What if you were not my only silent
No time just standing
There was no time to be alone
What is the meaning of life once
My path is not passed
Sorry I'm Not Able,,,
FOr say I love you,,,

As Christians, our primary focus in following Jesus Christ is to love God, love one another, and love our neighbor. We do these three things while being vigilant to share Christ and His love with everyone.
We believe that worship is a reflection of our love for God. We recognize that when the body of Christ comes together that the corporate worship experience should reflect more than tradition, it should engage and inspire "love for God". We also believe that the Word of God is our bedrock of authority. It is our rule of faith. Everything we do is measured against the Word of God.
The Mission of NCA is: To lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. This is the foundation for everything we do and is the basis of our ministry.
When you enter the doors of our sanctuary you will be welcomed like family. We hope you will be glad you came! We believe that every human being is created in the image of God and therefore has GREAT value and we want you to know that you are loved by us. More importantly, that you are LOVED by God. You can expect contemporary worship and anointed preaching at every service in a family-oriented environment.
We believe in corporate ministry. That all true believers are called to minister to one another. Our children's ministry is action-packed with age appropriate teaching, staffed by a team of gifted volunteers. We believe that our young people are tomorrow's church leaders and very much part of what God is doing today

Crash.Net WRC News
Heartbreak on Acropolis
30 May 2012
In Petter Solberg's latest exclusive column on
, the Ford World Rally Team man looks back on the Acropolis Rally of Greece, where he was pushing for the win until it all went wrong in the first stage on the final day...
Hi guys,
What can I say about Greece? It was so very, very disappointing to go out on the Sunday and I'm still gutted. I feel I let my team down, but now all we can do is look forward and stay positive. The Ford Fiesta RS WRC was again very competitive and I'm sure our luck will change soon. Granted, the situation in terms of the championships could be better, but it is not until it is over and we will all keep on battling. We will never give up!
The event started perfectly for me and it was great to set the top time in qualifying – the second occasion I have done that this year. I then gambled on tyre choice for the first stage as I expected it to be a little bit cooler, but unfortunately it didn't work out. That cost me some time, but the experience should help me in the future.
Besides, I was still very much up there and I clawed back the time on the first loop on Friday morning.
I had a big moment later on in the day when we hit a rock, but it is a real testament to the strength of the car that we could keep going and only lost about 10 or so seconds. The boys were able to fix the damage in the remote service zone and we ended day one still right up there. With only 15 minutes available, no spares and limited tools, they all did an incredible job and I owe them a massive 'thank you' for that!
Saturday afternoon then went brilliantly and to finish with three stage wins in the final three tests was fantastic.
The conditions were unbelievably rough, and the rain made it a real mud bath, but it felt very good to gain so much time and to halve the gap to rally leader Sébastien Loeb. Knowing that our car is so quick and that we have a good rhythm is very important, and it worked out perfectly.
It was such a shame then what happened first thing the next day. The accident occurred as I came into a long left-hand bend in a downhill section in Aghii Theodorii and hit the bank on the right. The car then bounced into the bank on the other side and ripped off the left rear wheel. It was a real pity, and then for Loeb, the eventual winner, to have that puncture on the repeat-run through the same test – well, it is obvious what might have been... There is a fine line between going for a win and settling for a secure second place.
We've proven however, that we are able to take up the fight and that we are fully capable of winning rallies. The car is also fully up for it and I would like to think that Chris [Patterson – my co-driver] and I are also!
On a separate note, it was, of course, good to have my regular team-mate Jari-Matti [Latvala] back for Greece after his injury-induced layoff. He is a great guy and we all missed him a lot in Argentina.
He made a great return too and thankfully managed to get some good points for the team with third, although he also had his own problems on the Saturday.
You are always going to have some difficulties in Greece, however, as it is one of the roughest events in the WRC. We all love it though, because the fans are great and so is the atmosphere. Luckily this year it was not too warm either, which was a bit of a relief, as it can get very hot in the cars. Regardless though, the Acropolis is a classic and it always will be.
I'm now looking forward to the next event in New Zealand. I always like to drive as rallying is my life and my passion. But after my early exit last weekend, I'm especially keen to head to Auckland.
It is a great place and the roads are just made for rallying. Everyone is always so welcoming too and that's very nice.
We don't have any tests planned prior to New Zealand, but that's not a problem as I have lots of experience there and won in 2004, as well as finishing third in 2003 and 2005.
I'll be aiming to bounce back – and I am confident I can.
Until next time,
Petter Solberg
