The point is that 2.1 is pretty dang huge, even if it includes one feature that's a massive blemish. So let's take a look at what the patch has to offer, how the various new features hold up, and where the patch falls down -- other than with housing, which is already a great big "fall down" that will be addressed all by itself.
The point is that 2.1 is pretty dang huge, even if it includes one feature that's a massive blemish. So let's take a look at what the patch has to offer, how the various new features hold up, and where the patch falls down -- other than with housing, which is already a great big "fall down" that will be addressed all by itself.
Main scenario: +1 for 1.0 reference
I haven't gotten through all of the new main scenario quests just yet, but by and large they seem to largely be a dense network of references for players who made it through the 1.0 version. NPCs who haven't been mentioned since launch are coming out of the woodwork now, and you get to untangle a dense sea of old interrelationships.
The biggest weakness of these quests is that they are, tragically, just a little bit boring otherwise. It's nice to see more hooks being woven back and forth in the lore, and the plot developments are intriguing, but the content of the quests to this point that have led me back to Mor Dhona has amounted to talking to a few people and easily killing a few things at 50. If not for the inherent weirdness it would cause, I almost wish these quests had been pegged at a lower level as a way of filling out non-leve content for subsequent leveling classes.
Still, the rewards are appreciable, so I can't complain too much. There's also a real sense of forward motion, exploring the consequences of what's already happened rather than just moving full steam ahead. I'm curious whether we'll see more expansion from these lines in the future.
Pharos Sirius: Crystal zombies and a crazy mess
Let's start with something I think a lot of people are still looking for. On the first boss, have DPS drop the adds quickly and avoid the straight-line AoE along with the two large damage fields dropped on the ground. If someone gets three stacks of crystals, have him run from the group before he explodes. Giga Slash doesn't seem to hurt much. Second boss, designate one DPS to kill a glowing egg before it hatches, but only one, and then kill the adds as they spawn. Run away when the boss takes to the air and becomes untargetable, much like Isgebind in Stone Vigil. Third boss can either just be tanked with DPS killing the adds; if you have enough DPS, you can just burn him away.
Siren, if you hadn't noticed, is complicated as heck. She hits people with a debuff that will charm the victim if said victim isn't at full health when it comes off, so heal quickly. She drops adds that need to be killed quickly, sergeants first. Her big Lunatic Voice needs to be interrupted as much as possible. She also does an Ifrit-style charge and spawns a bunch of adds when she gets into low health, so be aware of all of that.
I'm not sure if Pharos Sirius is actually harder than Wanderer's Palace or Original AK (the current incarnation hasn't yet come up in my roulette, but I am told that it is cake, and I believe it). It's quite possible that we're just not accustomed to its gimmicks yet. But it is certainly fun regardless, offering some fights that really challenge what you're expecting to face and some interesting environmental hazards. My one lament is that as a tank, I really hate so many fights where I'm not supposed to pull adds. It makes me feel as if I'm not doing my job. As it stands, the instance is more of a DPS and healing check than a tanking one.
Duty roulette: Commendable
There's not a whole lot I can say about duty roulette other than the simple fact that I really like it. The extra rewards are nice. The huge boost in experience is nice. The player commendations are great, and they inspire me to be as chatty as I like to be in groups. It's good fun all around, and even when the group features someone who's failing left and right, I haven't had the urge to just march away in disgust.
I may just really want that gilded magitek armor.
Daily quests: Really? Five a day?
So your first reputation tier with each beastman faction requires 150 reputation. All right, fair enough, but each quest at neutral only gives five reputation. So you're looking at a minimum of 10 days just to hit the first tier, which is reasonable, but it still seems as if the whole thing is being drawn out a bit.
Yes, you may be noticing a theme there.
Beyond that, the dailies thankfully don't simply involve killing X of Y and calling it a day uniformly. They're not breaking bold new group, but they're interesting enough that going back on a daily basis is not intolerable. Unsurprisingly, I find the amalj'aa content infinitely more interesting, since we've had friendly sylphs around since forever.
The one thing I really don't like here is tying at least one daily quest to the spawning and completion of a FATE. It's not unique here, but it's a mechanic I really dislike, like waiting for a quest target to respawn but with much less reliability. I understand the goal, but I'd rather see these be triggered FATEs rather than asking players to hurry up and wait somewhere.
Treasure maps: Either luck-based or sort of pointless
I'm going to put this up front: My first attempt at a level 50 treasure map got me 1500 gil and 10 philosophy after a quick battle against some coeurls. I see these going for a lot of gil on the market boards, which means that it's a luck-based reward, that most of the game's players don't know what the rewards are yet, or that there are people who will pay big money for clearing out those achievements.
In all fairness, the system as presented is pretty neat. It's fun to pick up a map, decipher it, and then head off for a special little mini-battle. And it is also nice to have a source of stuff like tomestones that doesn't require a full dungeon run. I'm just noting that as an odd disconnect. It's a fun minigame, but it's not a terribly meaty addition for gatherers.
Leve boosts: Appreciable
Not much to say here except for the fact that a pile of leves now gets me nearly a full level at St. Coinach's Find, making the whole process feel endlessly more rewarding. I've not yet seen how things shake down for crafting and gathering, although I know that the HQ bonus for crafting has been reduced and the base turn-in amounts have been improved. I'm still going to call that a break even.
Housing: Still beyond a mess
No houses are sold on my server at the time of this writing, and if the unofficial roleplaying server features a grand total of nobody willing to plop down money for a house at the prices as set, something is seriously wrong. There also remains no point in crafting furniture, but one sort of follows the other here.
I've seen Yoshida's statements on the matter, and I will definitely agree that I am making more money from non-market activities than I was before. But all that does is lead to inflation, which is counteracted by an enormous money sink for a game that didn't need one. It's a counterbalance to a force that didn't exist.
You can't convince me that there were no other ways to handle the theoretical problem of the richest people buying up all of the land right out of the gate -- ways like "you can purchase only one house," for instance. Even if you set the Legacy prices at the price of the lowest existing server, I'm going to guess that no one really wants to just start dropping money for every plot just to avoid letting other people have anything, especially when, as mentioned, there's no benefit outside of having another place to gather rest state.
Nor, as many people have pointed out, does any of this give parity in purchasing. The extra income brings groups closer to buying a house faster on lower-priced servers compared to higher-priced servers; a vague promise that pricing will eventually come down is just that, and it doesn't help stimulate the economy now. Crafters are occasionally making furniture, but no one is buying it, and the economy is no more active than before. If anything, it's seeing a downturn out of fear.
We've also been told that personal housing will be less expensive, which raises an even bigger question: Why? What's so supremely different about it?
There's more to cover on 2.1, of course, but there's a lot in the patch and only so much space to discuss all of it. For now, I'll leave off by saying that I can be reached, like always, at firstname.lastname@example.com or in the comments. Next week, it's year-in-review time.

The Top 100: Where they came from
Bobby Burton, Rivals.com Editor-in-Chief
The only team other than Missouri that finished in the AP top 10 that didn't have a top-100 pick is Georgia. The Bulldogs seemingly have everyone back and many are picking them to win it all in 2008.
College coaches always have told me they'll go anywhere for a quality defensive linemen. Well, the pro guys proved it. Six of the top 10 picks in the draft were defensive linemen (four ends, two tackles). Of the top-100 picks, 22 were defensive linemen (or more than one-fifth).
It's clear pro teams focus on positions early in the draft where players of "good value" are harder to come by than in the free-agency market. Five of the top six positions drafted among the top 100 are considered "pricey" relative to other positions in free agency. Running backs can be relatively cheap in free agency, but defensive ends, defensive tackles, offensive tackles, cornerbacks and wide receivers demand a premium. So are teams picking the best available player or are they picking the best value?
The state of Texas had only one native picked in the first round (Kansas CB Aqib Talib), but had five in each of the second and third rounds. The states of Florida and California, meanwhile, dominated the first round with five picks each. With three picks, the state of Virginia fared extremely well in the first round (Chris Long, Jerod Mayo and Duane Brown).
The first Ohio player taken was at No. 48 (USC TE Fred Davis, originally from Toledo). But the state finished strong, with five taken in the top 100.
There was either a lack of respect for inside linebackers or the quality was down in this draft. Only two were selected among the top 100 � Keith Rivers and Curtis Lofton.
No high school produced two picks in the top 100. The first high school to have two players taken in the draft was Tustin (Calif.) High. USC OT Sam Baker (No. 21) and UNLV LB Beau Bell (No. 104) played high school football together. NFL running back DeShaun Foster and defensive end Frostee Rucker also played for the Tillers (yes, that's their nickname). Several other high schools had multiple picks and we'll discuss those Tuesday.

How to Treat a Severe Sunburn
Three Methods:Treating Your Sun BurnManaging the PainUnderstanding the Perils of Sun BurnsQuestions and Answers
We all know how bad the sun is for our skin, but how many of us have "slipped up" and forgotten to apply sun block? Maybe you've done it yourself multiple times. Excessive ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can directly damage your DNA, which causes inflammation and death of your skin cells.[1] While less-intensive exposure to the sun for short periods of time can give you a nice tan (increased skin pigmentation to protect you from ultraviolet radiation), any type of prolonged UVR exposure is detrimental to any skin type, and excessive exposure should be avoided to prevent skin cancer.[2] While sunburns can be painful, most sunburns are considered superficial first-degree burns — the mildest classification of a burn. If you've already been exposed to the sun and have an uncomfortable sunburn, you can't reverse the current damage to skin, but you can relieve the pain while allowing it to heal. Luckily, almost all sunburns can be treated at home.
Method 1
Treating Your Sun Burn
1Wash the burned area thoroughly. Use mild soap and lukewarm/cool water. [3]
- You can use a cool, damp towel applied to the affected area, but avoid any rubbing that may irritate the skin. Gently place the towel on the skin. Be sure that the temperature of the water is not too cold, as this can have negative effects on the skin immediately after a burn (cooling burned skin with excessive cold too rapidly slows down healing and increases the potential for a frostbite injury on top of the burn).[4]
- If the burn continues to cause irritation, you can relieve this by taking frequent showers or baths in cool (mildly cool) water.[5]
- Do not completely dry yourself out of the shower, but allow for a little moisture to remain to aid in healing.
2Pop blisters only if they are large and uncomfortable. Most of the time, blisters will be small and will heal on their own. If you have a much larger one that rubs up against your clothes or makes it uncomfortable to sit or lay down, it might be best to drain it. Take a needle and sterilize it over an open flame for at least 10 seconds. Then insert the needle into the center of the blister. Puss will rush forth. Wipe up the puss with an rubbing alcohol soaked napkin. Cover with a bandage.
- You want to be hyper-aware of infection when popping a blister. Since the skin is already damaged, it does not fight off bacterial infections effectively. Be sure to use rubbing alcohol and to stress the needle before popping a bigger blister.[6]
3Apply cold compress. If you do not have a pre-made compress, dip a towel in ice-cold water and apply to the sunburned area. You can also fill a plastic sandwich bag with ice and wrap it in a towel to create an easy ice pack. Do not apply the bag directly onto skin, since it may stick and cause the burn to open, leaving it susceptible to infection.[7]
- Apply the covered cold compress for 10-15 minutes several times a day.[8]
4Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area. Aloe vera gel or soy-based moisturizers are the best choice since they will cool the burn. Preliminary studies have shown aloe vera to help burns heal faster. In a review of available scientific literature, patients treated with aloe vera healed almost 9 days earlier (on average) than those who went without aloe vera.[9]
- Generally, medical professionals recommend that aloe is best used for minor burns and skin irritations and should never be applied to an open wound.[10]
- For soy-based moisturizers, look for organic and natural ingredients on the label. A good example is the brand Aveeno, commonly found in most stores. Soy is a plant that has natural moisturizing capabilities, which helps your damaged skin maintain moisture and heal.[11]
- Avoid lotions or creams that contain benzocaine or lidocaine. While once used commonly in the past, these can cause irritation and allergic reactions. Avoid using petroleum oil (also known by the brand Vaseline). Petroleum can clog pores and trap heat within the skin, preventing proper healing of your skin.[12]
5Consult your doctor if your burn blisters. If your burn is very severe, you may encounter blisters and leaking pus from the blisters. It is important to keep the area clean by washing it running water and mild soap. Blistering of your skin means you have a second degree burn and infection becomes a concern. It is important to see a doctor if your burn is blistering and leaking pus. Your doctor may choose to prescribe antibiotics.[13]
- Silver sulfadiazine (1% cream, Thermazene) can be used to treat sunburns. This acts as an antibiotic to help prevent infection around areas of compromised and damaged skin. Do not use this medication on your face.[14]
6Keep your burn clean and moisturized. Try to avoid harsh lotions with perfumes, as this could cause more irritation.
- Continue using aloe vera, soy moisturizer, or a mild lotion with oatmeal. These products are currently recommended by many doctors and they will help to keep your skin moisturized with minimal irritation so that your body can naturally heal.[15]
- Continue taking cool showers or baths throughout the day if you are still feeling any burning. You can take multiple showers or baths to help the skin stay moisturized.
7Avoid the sun while your skin in healing. Further exposure to the sun may cause additional damage, which may require medical attention. Your skin needs protection, so make sure to keep it covered when it is exposed to the sun or any other excessive UVR.
- Wear fabrics over your sunburn that won't irritate your skin (avoid wool and cashmere specifically).
- There is no "best" fabric, but a loose-fitting, comfortable, and breathable fabric (such as cotton) will keep you comfortable and may provide some additional protection from the sun.
- Wear a hat to help protect your face from damaging UV rays of the sun. The skin on your face is especially sensitive and protecting it from sun with a hat is a good idea.
- When you are considering protective fabrics and clothing, a good test is to hold up the fabric to a bright light. The most protective clothing will have very little light penetration coming through.[16]
8Have patience. Sunburns will heal on their own. Most sunburns will heal on their own within a few days to a few weeks. You can expect a longer time-frame if you have a second-degree burn with blistering that is closer to the 3 week healing time. Proper treatment with medical attention for second-degree blistering burns will result in the fastest recovery time. Sunburns can usually heal completely with little to minimal evidence of scarring (if any at all).[17]
Method 2
Managing the Pain
1Take an over the counter pain reliever as needed. Follow all manufacturers' directions on dosage.
- Ibuprofen - This is an over-the-counter medication that can help to reduce inflammation, redness, and pain. Ibuprofen for sunburns is generally taken by adults in 400mg doses every 6 hours for a short period of time. Follow instructions as indicated by your doctor or the manufacturer's label. Children under 6 months old should not take Ibuprofen. Follow the instructions on the bottle. [18]
- Naproxen - Your doctor may alternatively prescribe this medication if ibuprofen hasn't worked for you. The upside is that the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects will last longer once they take begin. Naproxen can be found in over-the-counter medication such as Aleve.[19]
2Use vinegar to take away the pain. Acetic acid in vinegar alleviates pain, itching, and inflammation. Pour one cup of white cider vinegar into tepid bath water and soak. Alternatively, dab a vinegar soaked cotton swab on the more painful parts of your sunburn. Dab, don't wipe. You don't want to add any sort of friction to the outside of the burn.[20]
3Apply some witch hazel to your sunburn. Wet a washcloth or cotton gauze with this anti-inflammatory astringent and apply to the skin three or four times a day for 20 minutes to minimize pain and itching.[21]
- There are very few side effects of witch hazel and it is completely safe to use with children.
Method 3
Understanding the Perils of Sun Burns
1See a doctor if you think you have sun poisoning. Sun poisoning is a term used to describe severe sunburns and reactions to UV rays (photodermatitis). If your skin develops blisters, if the burn is very painful, or is accompanied by a fever and extreme thirst or fatigue, seek medical attention immediately. These may be signs of a more serious medical condition. There may be a genetic sensitivity that causes this. Additionally, metabolic causes can result from a lack of niacin or vitamin B3.[22] The typical symptoms and treatment are described in this article, but the most severe symptoms that require medical attention include:
- Blisters - you may experience itchiness and raised areas of your skin where you were excessively exposed to sunlight
- Rashes - along with blisters or bumps, it is common to see rashes that may or may not be itchy. these rashes can resemble eczema
- Swelling - there may be pain and redness in areas of excessive sunlight exposure
- Nausea, fever, headache, and chills - These symptoms may arise as a result of a combination of photosensitivity and exposure to heat
- If you experience these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention right away for further evaluation of the severity of your sunburn.[23]
2Beware of skin cancer. The two most common forms of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma — are directly related to sun exposure. These cancers form primarily on the face, ears, and hands. A person's risk for melanoma — the most serious form of skin cancer — doubles if he or she has had five or more sunburns. More importantly, if you have a severe sunburn, you are at greater risk for melanoma.[24]
3Watch out for heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs when the body fails to regulate its own temperature, and body temperature continues to rise. Since the sun is a causal factor in both extreme sun burns and heatstroke, many people who experience extreme sun burns also run a risk of heatstroke. The primary signs of heatstroke are:
- Hot, red, dry skin
- Rapid, strong pulse
- Extreme body temperatures
- Nausea or vomiting[25]
Questions and Answers
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Sometimes it takes up to 48 hours for the full extent of the sunburn to appear.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Ford F250 Super Duty Crew Cab
By KBB.com Editors
In a year in which the big newsboth literally and figurativelywas presumably focused on Toyota's launch of its new Tundra, Ford arguably trumps Toyota's thunder with its debut of an all-new Super Duty. Constituting some 40 percent of Ford's F-Series sales, the Super Duty is intended to secure the most profitable segment of the pickup market. Ford stakes its claim to "best in class" with improved platforms, upgraded drivetrains and dramatically enhanced capability, particularly with the availability of the new F-450.
Whether you're into commercial construction, agriculture or recreational towing, if you use a truck as a truck you'll benefit from the Super Duty's enhanced capability, refinement and convenience. And while the custom-spec car may have died a long time ago, the variety of permutations available from Ford's Louisville truck plant gives the Super Duty customer a chance at real customization, seemingly with more content variables than the U.S. tax code.
If you're looking for a pickup (especially in Crew Cab configuration) as a substitute for your SUV, you'll quickly realize the Super Duty's principal mission: Hauling things and peoplenot just people. To be sure, both Extended and Crew Cabs accommodate passengers quite comfortably, but if you're not regularly hooking up to a 10,000-pound trailer or loading an eight-foot bed with more than a couple of two-by-fours, you've overbought what Ford has overbuilt.
Ford may throw its "Bold Moves" tagline at everything in its lineup above the Focus, but few things are more deserving of the description than Ford's new Super Duty. From its enlarged grille to the tailgate, everything on the new Super Duty has been redesigned or aggressively tweaked. Despite a familial resemblance to its predecessor, this is more than just a "freshening." Rather, it's a full-scale attempt to retain market leadership with a slew of class-exclusive features both inside (Quiet Steel dash panel) and out (power telescoping and folding trailer tow mirrors).
Driving Impressions In most recent redesigns much is made of a "stiffer structure." Ford's design team complies, with higher-strength front-end structures, fully-boxed front frame rails, thick C-channel frame rails and crossmembers secured...by, according to Ford, a "method that optimizes frame capability." The end result, enjoyed over some two hundred miles of south Texas roadway, is a truck offering the maximum in capability while still providing a full measure of comfort and control. This is a big truck but, from steering, to braking, to ride motionenhanced by lengthened rear leaf springsto interior quiet, the Super Duty impresses as one highly refined tool, and not merely a "truck."
King Ranch Trim
In an era of $70,000 Cadillac Escalades, a $50,000 pickup shouldn't be cause for alarm. A King Ranch-equipped Super Duty, however, will raise eyebrows not with its window sticker but, rather, its level of refined "tough" luxury. Constituting both interior (Chaparral leather) and exterior (PowerScope mirrors) upgrades, the King Ranch enhances over-the-road comfort with material, workmanship and appointment upgrades, adding immeasurably to the Super Duty's attractiveness. And, unlike some luxury pickups, there's no intention of appealingovertlyto the Country Club set; this remains a work truck and not a work-in-progress.
Power Stroke Diesel
With its 6.0-liter predecessor, the clattering came from both under the hood and consumer websites. But now Ford has created a diesel offering more power (350 horsepower) and torque (650 pound-feet), along with a cleaner burn, quieter operation and better throttle response (via dual sequential turbos). Add a five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty for peace of mind and you've got a segment-leading package.
With the debut of the current F-Series, Ford established a benchmark for pickup interiors. In the new Super Duty the benchmark is moved upward in available choices, functionality and appointment. The XL interior provides feet-on-the-dash utility, XLT and Lariat trim levels give the customer more expressive design and the King Ranch package coddles you in highly refined Chaparral leather. All trims benefit from new materials, surfaces and accents. Lariat and King Ranch owners will enjoy dual-zone climate control. All audio systems are MP3-capable, so download your Toby Keith collection.Exterior
A walk-around with Ford's head of truck design, Pat Schiavone, begins with the grille. The Super Duty's corporate three-bar opening is flanked by expansive vertical inlets and topped by "SUPER DUTY" in big capital letters. The expansive grille is for more than simply showit fronts a confluence of cooling capability for engine, transmission and the intercooler that serves the diesel's two sequential turbochargers. Better cooling means, of course, bigger towing. Beyond the imposing edifice are new fender-mounted vents, available telescoping mirrors and optional 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. When compared to the previous Super Duty, the grille and hood blister provide the main visual differentiation.
We'll start at the front, where Ford has located a front step bumperunder-the-hood checks are made easier when the step-stool is built-in and not something you need to carry with you. In back Ford includes a hitch receivermatched to each model's capabilitieson every Super Duty, along with seven-pin and four-pin connectors. Given the importance of towing capability to the Super Duty mission, the receiver is a standard feature any owner can appreciate.
As noted, the Super Duty order form provides a wealth of choices for virtually any commercial or recreational use. Those intending to tow with their Super Duty trucks will appreciate Ford's factory-installed TowCommand System. The system fully integrates the trailer brakes, anti-lock brakes (ABS), TorqShift automatic trans and tow/haul mode into one safe, capable towing platform. Functional enhancements include a foldable bed extender, which improves load utility when in place and stays out of the way when not needed. Accessing the bed is made easierand saferby the why-didn't-they-think-of-this-before tailgate step option. And for those venturing off into the Great Unknown, an optional navigation system should get you there andhopefullyback again.
Ford offers three engine choices for work, play or any combination of the two. Base powerplant is a 5.4-liter Triton V8 offering 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking more from the gasoline side of the Ford family, the 6.8-liter Triton V10 should satisfy, putting 362-horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque under your right foot. Finally, there's the aforementioned 6.4-liter Power Stroke diesel, infusing the Super Duty with both "tow" and "go."

Pros: "Tough, Safe, Reliable and fun to drive!"
Cons: "Absolutely Nothing!"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I purchased this truck new in 2009 and as far as I know was the only year Ford made the FX4 SUPER DUTY as a Model not just an add-on package. Loved the truck from day one! Comfort is beyond Excellent! Has the 5.4l 3valve with vct,Don't underestimate the power, granted I put an Airaid brand High Flow intake and a High Flow Gibson Exaust system, but even before it had lots of Power, but gained 2.5mpg and about 50HP & 40flbs of torque, No tune, just a few more tweeks but anyway no complaints there or anywhere! Have the Snowplow prep & the 9600lb GVWR SO Ride is a little stiff unloaded, To be Expected for a HD 3/4 Ton Truck but I am one of those people that when I buy a Truck I want it to feel like a Truck! Not a car with a box that when pulling a moderate sized loads feels like your using a little 73 pinto station wagon. I passed 4 vehicles coming back from up north and my spedo was burried gps @ over 100mph and the Truck handled like a Ferrari and totally forgot the poor camper was even there. I have driven just about all brands of trucks and there's only one choice for me and that is the FORD SUPER DUTY LINE! AS A 25+ HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATOR & MASTER MECHANIC I JUST WOULDN'T TRUST ANYTHING BUT THE BEST!"

"God and the Inner City" tells the story of three faith-based social service groups: Boston's Ella J. Baker House, which works to prevent street violence and provides counseling and job training under the direction of charismatic Pentecostal minister Eugene Rivers; a Maryland branch of Teen Challenge, whose nationwide programs help substance abusers go drug-free and embrace Christianity in the process; and Philadelphia's Amachi program, a mentor program based in local churches but run by Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a national secular organization that takes children of incarcerated parents under its wing.
Directed by Michael Pack, the film opens with Reverend Rivers walking the streets of the notoriously tough Dorchester section of Boston. He confronts idle teens on doorsteps, throwing them off-guard and getting them to talk. But it is Rivers's promise to get these kids jobs (which he does) that earns him unwavering respect. Rivers never preaches to the kids he meets, nor does he invoke Jesus as a means to get troublemakers to mend their ways. Instead, he exhorts a human accountability: "At the end of the day, this all comes down to the failure of the fathers. In the black community the fathers fail the kids, and now we see the sins of the fathers being visited upon the second or third generation."
The cameras follow Rivers as he works with police and meets weekly with both secular and faith-based groups at the Ella J. Baker House. A Harvard dropout, his relationships with the kids he visits on the street, in jail, and at the Baker House appear casual--he's hip and witty in a grandfatherly way--but he is serious about making sure these kids lead responsible lives.
Next, we are introduced to Larry, a 20-something crack addict with a violent past, who has just entered the Teen Challenge home in Capitol Heights, Maryland. Teen Challenge is a Christian rehab program and a bit of a misnomer, as its participants are men 18 or older. Teen Challenge does not want government support nor is it eligible for government grants, because prayer and Bible study are integral parts of the program. Larry studies and works diligently during his four months at the home and, in turn, is able to continue his soul-cleansing journey at "The Mountain," a Teen Challenge retreat in Pennsylvania, where he will live for an additional eight months. Program director and pastor Mike Zello gets Larry through the rough spots with counseling and a whole lot of prayer. He speaks of how most men he counsels really want to change, but need a little help from God to do so. "If you have the will, then God has the power," Zello says. "And that's where [Teen Challenge is] different from a secular group."
The last part of the documentary focuses on the Amachi program, created by John DiIulio, the former director of Bush's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. The Amachi program was designed so that relationships between mentors and their carefully assigned charges could be tracked, and results measured and evaluated. The concept is innovative in that churches team up with the secular, non-profit group Big Brothers/Big Sisters. The duo matches mentors with the children of prisoners. The situation of one mentee, 10-year-old Juan, is particularly moving. Juan's father was in jail and eventually died of AIDS. At the time of the documentary, his mother is facing her own battle with AIDS and cancer. Juan's mentor tries to look on the bright side, though the fact remains that Juan, at such a young age, really has no direct control over his future. The last thing we see Juan do in the film is attend church with what appears to be his mentor's family.
As "God and the Inner City" makes clear, the question is not which faith-based program works best, or even if faith-based programs work better than secular ones. All three groups are successful in their own way, each meeting an essential human need. Rivers provides paid jobs, Zello spiritual fulfillment, and Amachi companionship. "God and the Inner City" suggests that even society's most troubled individuals can make it, if they just have a little faith.

Lent arrives on February 10! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
The history of Job begins here with an account, I. Of his great piety in general (Job 1:1), and in a particular instance, Job 1:5. II. Of his great prosperity, Job 1:2-4. III. Of the malice of Satan against him, and the permission he obtained to try his constancy, Job 1:6-12. IV. Of the surprising troubles that befel him, the ruin of his estate (Job 1:13-17), and the death of his children, Job 1:18, 19. V. Of his exemplary patience and piety under these troubles, Job 1:20-22. In all this he is set forth for an example of suffering affliction, from which no prosperity can secure us, but through which integrity and uprightness will preserve us.

Even larger models like Acer's 15.6-inch Timeline and HP's equally sized Envy both sport 1366x768 screen resolutions, while Samsung's 15-inch Series 9 taps out at 1600x900.

My latest blog entry for the Huffington Post has been published; it's called Would Thomas Merton Use an iPad? Contemplation, Technology and Discernment.Beneath the whimsical title, this post looks at a serious question: how the philosophy and spirituality of Thomas Merton might be used a compass point for considering ethical questions related to technology and society. The inspiration for this comes from a recently published book, Returning to Reality: Thomas Merton's Wisdom for a … [Read more...]
Returning to Reality
Three Generations of Technological Change
I took this picture this afternoon of Fran and Rhiannon showing off Rhiannon's (well, our, actually) new toy — an iPad — to my father. As we sat together and talked about, and explored, all that the iPad could do, my father began to talk about how when he was younger, television was such an innovative technology. "My next door neighbor had one, and kept telling me I should buy one, as it was the wave of the future," he mused. I asked him how old he was when he saw a TV for the first time. "I was … [Read more...]
Quotes for the Day
The tragedy of modern man is that his creativity, his spirituality, and his contemplative independence are inexorably throttled by a superego that has sold itself without question or compromise to the devil of technology....The contemplative seeks to liberate his soul from all external control, to purify and detach it from material, sensual, and even spiritual compulsions, and to surrender it to the truth and creative freedom of the Holy Spirit. — Thomas Merton, The Inner Experience: Notes o … [Read more...]

Paul, I think you will appreciate this article. It talks about the value of good design in business. I think companies are finally beginning to get it. http://www.fastcodesign.com/1670679/good-design-is-good-business-an-introduction
I love this article. I mentioned that to you when I first read it. Have you read Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" about usability in web design? It's old but the ideas are still so relevant. Many can be applied to design too. Simple is always best. However, ironically, 'simple' is also the more difficult to accomplish. It truly needs experience. Not to mention, design is always evolving.

Yunnan, China - The Musuo live on the banks of the pristine Lake Lugu, high in the mountains on the border of Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces in southwestern China. In this traditional matriarchal culture, children live in their mother's home for their whole life. Grandmothers are heads of Musuo households. Family name and inheritance is passed through the female line and most manual labour is carried out by women. Men are, however, responsible for hunting and fishing. "Walking marriage" is a unique aspect of Musuo culture. In this practice, women can have as many or as few lovers as they choose. If a man is chosen as a partner, usually at a "fire dance" - where villagers gather to socialise - he will visit the woman at her family home at night and must return to his mother's home before sunrise. If a child is conceived, it will be raised by the mother and her family. Due to their customs, the home of the Musuo, who number only around 40,000, has come to be known as the Kingdom of Women. Their reputation for "free love", along with the breathtaking landscape of their homeland draws increasing numbers of tourists, who travel by bus from Lijiang, in Yunnan Province, seven hours away. Tourism has already made a huge impact on Musuo life, but they welcome the new wealth the tourists have brought to their villages. Until recently, Musuo survived on subsistence agriculture and hunting. Today, the villagers own iPads and sports utility vehicles. Much of their income is derived from entrance fees paid by tourist groups to attend fire dances. It remains to be seen how much of the Musuo way of life can be preserved in the face of increasing curiosity and influence from the outside world, but practicing their traditions for visitors is one way they are fighting to keep their culture alive.
The scenery is spectacular on the road from Lijiang to Lake Lugu in China\(***)s Yunnan province. Domestic tourism is booming here, on the borders of Tibet, Vietnam, Burma and Laos.

Aya Jia, 38, chops wood at her home in Luoshui Village. Musuo women are responsible for much of their household\(***)s manual labour.
Musuo villagers perform a fire dance for tourists. An increasing number of domestic tourists are drawn to the previously impoverished area around Lugu Lake by the stunning landscape and an exotic ethnic culture. Each night, through the tourist season, a crowd of around 400 are charged 30 yuan (around $5) each to attend these spectacles. Profits are then distributed throughout the surrounding villages.
Tourists pose with a Musou woman in traditional dress at a fire dance on the edge of Lugu Lake. The region is experiencing something of a tourism boom.

Just curious.
Have you ever surrendered a pet?
Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.
I took a stray cat in once...felt AWFUL. I was so worried they would think it was really my cat. I would never surrender a pet. If I can't take care of it, *I* would find it a new home. Thankfully I've never had to rehome a pet.
I said no, not under any circumstance... but this is in regards to my own dogs. They are my other children. I have picked up stray/lost/homeless animals many times and dropped them off at a local shelter though.

Other than that, no, I've never given away a pet. I get pretty attached to animals usually and once they're in our home they're part of the family for good.
Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude.
-Viktor E. Frankl
Yes, I did. My mom found a stray in her yard and thought it would be the perfect pet for me. I kept that cat for a couple months and I ended up with creepy bite marks all over me during that entire time. We were broke and had no money for vet bills. I don't know why my mom thought I needed that cat anyway. I made her take it to the humane society since she volunteered there regularly anyway. The cat got fixed up and found a home very quickly. Hopefully, it was his forever home.
Mom to 5 kids, 8 chickens, and a mutt
No. I have taken dogs in then re-homed them but I knew from the beginning I wasn't going to keep them.
If I saw you at Walmart I would assume you hopped off the pole and stopped by for bread- JohnDeereGreen
My parents let me adopt a dog for my 18th birthday (lived with them, needed their permission). When I was 19, they built a new house and didn't want the dog to go to the new house. I was planning to go with them, but then tried to find a place of my own. I couldn't afford anything alone, so I moved in with (then BF) DH. But his apartment didn't allow dogs, either.
I gave the dog to the family that my BFF nannied for. They had a yard, and 2 boys, and had spent time with them already. We did a trial for a few days, knowing it might not work, but it did. I paid for the next year's shots for the dog, since I had planned on it anyway. And gave them all of the dog's things and bought a new bag of food for them.
7.5 ❤ 4 ❤ 2.5
It would take some very dire circumstances for me to ever consider surrendering one of my pets. They are precious to me and I feel that they are my responsibility. I would only ever do it in an absolute crisis and it would break my heart.

2014 NFL Draft: Titans take draft's first RB, get C+ for their efforts
Draft coverage: Draft picks and grades | Prospect Rankings | Mock drafts | News
NEW YORK -- In the 2013 NFL draft, the Bengals selected running back Gio Bernard with the No. 37 overall pick, the longest wait ever for the first running back to come off the draft board.
Turns out the 2014 draft board blew away that record.
With the No. 54 overall pick, the Titans picked former Washington running back Bishop Sankey in what we assume will be the team's attempt to replace Chris Johnson as the franchise runner. And yes, Sankey was the first running back to be selected this year.
In 2013, Sankey broke the school's single-season rushing record, held by Corey Dillon, with 1,870 yards and 20 touchdowns.
Still, the pick didn't necessarily impress CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco.
The Titans get a replacement for Chris Johnson, and he's versatile, but he is a running back. GRADE: C+ http://t.co/KPxAyHqyNs— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) May 10, 2014

Isiah makes strongest point yet
Updated: January 6, 2004, 10:53 AM ETBy Peter May | Special to ESPN.com
It didn't take Isiah Thomas very long, did it? That can happen when the best point guard in the employ of the New York Knicks is the one you see in the mirror every day.
Thomas signed off on a megadeal to bring Stephon Marbury to the Big Apple, the place where Marbury always wanted to be -- but could never get there. The Knicks finally have their point guard, one good enough to play in All-Star games with the attendant entourage, tattoos and bling-bling to boot. The deal came the day after ...

TORONTO (AP) -- Carl Crawford's banner night had the perfect
ending: a Tampa Bay win.
Crawford had a career-high five hits, scored five runs and stole
four bases to help the Devil Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-8
Wednesday night.
Crawford homered and went 5-for-5, tying the team record for
hits in a game previously set by Julio Lugo on June 24, 2004, at
Toronto. He set team records for runs and stolen bases.
"It's probably my best game. It had a home run in it, we won
the game, all that, so it probably was my best game," Crawford
Crawford was especially happy about five hits.
"That was cool," he said.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon raved about his left fielder.
"It's one of the best single performances I think I've ever
seen in regard to all facets of the game," Maddon said. "He was
the dominant story tonight. All the things he can do -- he did."
Down 7-5 in the seventh, Ty Wigginton hit a sacrifice fly before
Toby Hall hit a two-run homer off Jason Frasor (1-1) to give Tampa
Bay the lead.
Wigginton added a two-run homer off Scott Schoeneweis in the
ninth. He finished 3-for-4 with four RBI.
Shawn Camp (2-0) got the last two outs of the sixth for the win.
Tyler Walker worked 1 1-3 innings for his ninth save in 10 chances.
Toronto starter Josh Towers lasted just 1 2-3 innings, giving up
four runs and six hits. His ERA rose to 9.00. The Blue Jays
outrighted Towers and optioned shortstop Russ Adams to Triple-A
Syracuse after the game.
"We are going to throw the best people out there every night,"
Toronto manager John Gibbons said.
The usually talkative Towers declined to comment. He cleared
waivers earlier in the week.
Adams was sent down because nine of his team-leading 10 errors
have been throwing errors to first. Gibbons said he'll play some
second base at Syracuse.
"It will be a time for me to go down there and clear my head,"
Adams said. "I don't doubt my abilities. I've been doing this long
enough to know what my abilities are. It came to a point where I
lost a little trust. It's something that doesn't fly over too well
at this level. It's something that I've got to get worked out."
He said he was OK with playing some second base.
Lugo led off the first with a single, stole second and advanced
to third on Crawford's base hit. Lugo came around to score on Jonny
Gomes' sacrifice fly. Aubrey Huff added an RBI single to make it
2-0 Devil Rays.
Crawford hit a two-run homer off Towers in the second to give
Tampa Bay a 4-0 lead.
Lyle Overbay's run-scoring base hit and Alex Rios' two-run
single cut it to 4-3 lead in the bottom half.
Wigginton hit an RBI single in the fifth, but Hillenbrand
homered off Casey Fossum in the bottom half.
Aaron Hill tied it at 5 with a solo shot off the foul screen in
the sixth and Toronto scored two more runs in the inning on Camp's
throwing error to first.
Game notes
Hill homered for the first time since Aug. 9, 2005, against
Detroit. ... Towers has allowed 13 homers in just 45 innings. Last
season, he gave up 24 homers in 208 2-3 innings en route to a
career-best 13 wins and 3.71 ERA. He signed a two-year, $5.2
million contract in the offseason.

TORONTO -- A big gain on the closure of three high-profile stores allowed Sears Canada Inc. (TSX:SCC) to post a healthy profit in the first quarter even as it continued to struggle with declining sales as it tries to revamp its image.
Sears said Wednesday it swung to profit in the 13 weeks ended April 28 when it earned $93.1 million, or 91 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $47 million or 45 cents per share for the same period last year.
Included in earnings for the quarter was a $164.3-million pre-tax gain on lease terminations of stores in Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa.
Sears Canada has been cutting jobs, slashing prices, decluttering stores and refocusing sales efforts on money-making items to lure more customers in a competitive Canadian retail market.
Despite recent marketing efforts, revenue in the quarter slipped 7.8 per cent from a year earlier to $915.1 million from $992.5 million, including a decrease of 6.3 per cent in same store sales.

UN General Assembly votes 'yes' on Ukraine unity
Published: Thursday, March 27, 2014 at 12:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 27, 2014 at 12:18 p.m.
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. General Assembly has approved a resolution affirming Ukraine's territorial integrity and calling the referendum that led to Russia's annexation of its Crimean Peninsula illegal.
The vote Thursday was 100 in favor, 11 opposed and 58 abstentions.
The "yes" vote was higher than many diplomats had predicted, with more than half the 193 members of the General Assembly supporting the Ukrainian sponsored resolution.
Unlike the Security Council, General Assembly resolutions are not subject to vetoes nor are they legally binding but they do reflect world opinion.

Qualitative Versus Quantitative Ratings
A frequently expressed criticism of broadcast ratings is that they are quantitative and not qualitative. Ratings are limited to reporting binary (yes/no) set user actions: (1) electing to turn on a receiver and (2) choosing (or not choosing) any one of many programs available by a flick of the tuning dial (or the push of a button). Such crude data may suffice for the advertiser's commercial purposes, but it is hardly the basis on which intelligent decisions about programming can be made, according to the detractors of ratings. This complaint is most often heard when network programs are canceled despite the existence of a highly articulate group of fans as with "Twilight Zone" and "Star Trek." Some in public TV likewise maintain that commercial rating measurement is not sufficient for its needs, that audience size alone is an inadequate evaluation of whether public television is reaching its more exacting programming objectives.
There are several complexities to the concept of qualitative ratings that are not found in conventional audience size measurements. Quantitative measurement is relatively simple and clear: The numbers--whether household or demographic ratings or share of audience projections, national or local--are developed by syndicated services using standardized and readily understood terms. When told that "Hill Street Blues" on Thursday at 10:00 P.M. last week achieved a share of 29.5 nationally, 22.6 in Philadelphia, and 31.8 in San Francisco, the meaning is clear (and even more so when trends of all available weekly shares are followed).
Moreover, broadcast quantitative measurements report (as accurately as the technique permits) the actual viewing behavior of the household or person in

Everyone keeps asking me what the difference is when it comes to choosing Plexus over other weight loss related products. What is the warning you ask? The warning is you will need to buy a new wardrobe and that is costly! I ditched all my size 12 clothes, well actually they are under my bed, and I went and bought size 8. Too soon I might add, because down to a size 6 which now the 8's are too big. I should have waited!
