I'm thinking to myself, "Is this f*cking guy really here courtesy of a UFO?"
Forget the fact that Bernard Hopkins had me spilling orange juice on my shirt a few months ago when I saw his nude shot for ESPN and their Body Edition. He actually had the balls to do this (I would've died if I saw those) and still maintain street credibility at half a century, but then again, that's classic Hopkins. He doesn't merely upset the apple cart - he pushes it all the way down the damn hill.
Type "A" personality that he is, B-Hop got bored and decided to he wanted to try a monster in Sergei Kovalev of all people. He gets an improbable deal done in no time, and gets him to sign papers to fight him right before his bout against Blake Caparello. Hopkins essentially tried to freeze Kovalev.
Round 1: 10-9, Hopkins
Savvy veteran that he is- it put instant pressure on Kovalev; who as relative novice to these things, came out cold under lights Hopkins had made red hot. He not only got a personal ringside scouting report on Kovalev, but he got a free surge in initial publicity for this fight with his lascivious tactics, and froze Kovalev again when Max Kellerman got the two of them in front of the camera for the first time.
Round 2: 10-9, Hopkins
Kovalev's limited English with his shaky interpreter was no match for "The Alien" and his other-worldly mouth full of sardonic wit. Another bizarre (but true) twist to this fight is, Bernard actually beat up his trainer John David Jackson 17 years ago. Certainly Kovalev knows this, probably courtesy of a gift wrapped video Bernard sent him in the mail, along with a picture of him and his toothy smile. Talk about losing psychological warfare.
Round 3: 10-9, Hopkins
I guess the fair question to ask is, just wtf is he supposed to learn from Jackson about how to beat Hopkins? But anyway...
Assuming Hopkins gets past the first three rounds (and its a good assumption he does) this coming Saturday night, can he actually put the majority of the other ones in his pocket? Or better yet, can he survive to the distance at all against the feared Russian product?
I'll be damned if he isn't an actual "alien" if he does.
Experience really is the best teacher in a very unique way in this fight on both sides. Hopkins has seen the likes of Kovalev before, and knows how to vaporize offense. He is an absolute master of subtlety in the ring, particularly when it comes to space and crowding.
Kovalev is a better and more powerful fighter than his trainer was 17 years ago, and I think Jackson is a better trainer now than he was a fighter. His experience with an earlier Hopkins should actually help Kovalev with this much older version, and it would surprise me if it didn't.
The last time Hopkins really didn't surprise me was way back in 2001 against Felix Trinidad. In one of my better moments in predicting the outcome of a fight (and with Las Vegas), I had Hopkins doing exactly what he ultimately did to Trinidad. "Tito" had a certain rhythm he would settle into each time if you watched him. He would almost give away what he was throwing - and when he was throwing - by the way he would hitch his launching foot and position his gloves before striking.
He did almost the same things every single time.
Kelly Pavlik had similar issues that were even more glaring. So too did the likes of Antonio Tarver, the green Jean Pascal, and even greener Tavoris Cloud, as Hopkins knew he was dealing with waiters who would "Tip". Kovalev won't really offer such gratuity.
He wasn't himself in the 1st round against Caparello, coming out dry and unfocused which resulted in poor foot positioning and a flash knockdown. But his special, sudden striking ability was on display before the round was over, and it didn't take him long to dispatch Caparello in the 2nd. The most impressive aspect of this fight was the straight right hand to the body he used to floor Blake.
I never thought Jermain Taylor or Chad Dawson were good match-up for Hopkins, and I think this is a far worse one. Jermaine and Chad properly advanced Hopkins with lots of aggression, and didn't allow him pockets of space to dig into his sizable bag of tricks. They hid it from him with volume, and correctly approached him as an older fighter.
You can't allow him to play games, control space, or allow him to dictate the pace at all - and they didn't.
Kovalev has way more iron in his will and in his chin than those two and is a few years better now, just as Hopkins is a few more years removed from quicker reflexes.
The spartan approach he lives and trains by is truly remarkable and worthy of some sort of DNA inspection to see if he is indeed comprised of non-human elements. To say he is an anomaly is a profound understatement, but no matter his array of skills and vast mental capacity, he's exceeded physical limits in this match-up.
And that's why I'm not going to hesitate in betting against him this time.
I think Hopkins decided to take this fight after liking what he saw in Kovalev during his bout against Cedric Agnew. The Chicago native made things ugly in there at times, using headbutts and smothering tactics to mute Kovalev while launching timed attacks.
Hopkins figures he can apply more tactically - in a way more physical - than the far younger Agnew did, but that just doesn't seem possible to me.
The other part Hopkins really isn't considering is just how special a puncher Kovalev is to the body, which will help to end his night. Bernard is going to take more punishment than he has ever taken in his entire ring life. While he's still quick with shots and very sneaky - he's lost a huge amount of speed, flexibility, agility and dexterity. Plus he's gained rigidity in certain movements and is starting to show balance issues.
That he's overcome it at such an advanced age is truly remarkable in a very historic sense, but he's about to take a very historic beating.
Ultra tough as he is, I see him getting struck at will as this fight progresses, and he'll probably look like an actual alien before being abducted somewhere near the 10th round and taken to God knows where.
We'll look for you in the telescope Bernard.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa Men's Basketball Coach Fran McCaffery announced today that Trey Dickerson has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend the University of Iowa. Dickerson, who has three years of eligibility remaining, is the third recruit in Iowa's 2014 class.
"We're thrilled that Trey is joining the program," said McCaffery. "He's an incredibly talented, quick, and creative point guard who can also score. He's excellent in transition and can also play in the half court. Trey has great feel for how to play. He's a perfect fit for our style."
Dickerson is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound guard from Queens, N.Y. Dickerson finished his prep schooling at God's Academy (Texas) and played his freshman year of collegiate basketball at Williston State College in North Dakota. Dickerson led the Tetons to a 27-6 overall record and 9-1 in conference play.
Last season, Dickerson averaged 19.8 points, 5.7 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 29 games played. Dickerson is rated as the No. 1 point guard and 10th overall prospect in junior college according to 247Sports. His efforts earned him third team all-America honors by the NJCAA and MVP of the Mon-Dak Athletic Conference.
Prior to attending God's Academy, he was a California all-state honoree his sophomore and junior seasons. He was also invited to the Nike Top 100 Camp his sophomore season.
Dickerson will join already signed recruits Brady Ellingson and Dominque Uhl on the 2014-15 Iowa roster.

Olympic athletes are machines. And when it comes to the Olympic bobsledders, there is no doubt that the athletes are strong and tough. So when Canadian bobsledder Christopher Spring showcased a first look wearing his Olympic suit on Saturday, some people were looking at his belly. Technically that was the only thing people could see as it was hanging out and the rest of his skin was covered.
"I tried on my race suit ahead of tomorrow's 2man Olympic race and its a little...er tight. #powerbelly," tweeted Christopher Spring from his official Twitter account. The athlete shared a picture of the moment and everyone will agree that the idea of it being "tight" might be a bit of an understatement.
While some might point out the Olympic bobsledder is fat, that's definitely not what we would imply. The skintight suit is made to be snug as it helps the athlete and it's obvious to us that the issue was with the manufacturer. Of course we make that assumption (and everyone else should too) as the athlete could probably knock down a door with ease. Plus there are always little details to be fixed whenever it comes to fashion and that would include bobsled suits too.
The bobsled competition kicks off for the teams on Sunday leaving Christopher Spring one day to fix his outfit. Olympic bobsledders probably have people who can easily make alterations, but if not then perhaps a belt would suffice. A wide belt that could read "Power belly."

Children's Safety is an Issue in US
President Obama addressed a large crowd last night at the vigil for the victims of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. While discussing the tragic event, he said the U.S. is not doing enough to keep children safe. "We bear a responsibility for every child...This is our first task, caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right," He went on to say that these shootings that are happening regulary in many U.S. towns and cities and it is time to "prevent more tragedies."

Going five-years strong, the JFly Music Festival has brought some of the finest musicians in the entertainment business to the small, south Georgia community of Waycross. And it's done for the community and guests thereof, with compliments of the city and a host of other sponsors.
Pebo Bryson, Alex Bugnon and more compliment the list of national and international talent make the three hour+ trek from Atlanta, to give their best performances to the very appreciative and supportive citizens of Waycross, home of Jorel Flynn, aka, drummer extraordinaire, JFly, founder of How Big Is Your Dream?, a non-profit organization committed to helping children find and reach their potential.
This year, Bobby Brown, Tony Terry, Howard Hewett, Cherrelle, Jeff Bradshaw, Chandra Currelley, Good Times Brass Band and more will perform, thanks to sponsors including the City of Waycross, MediaStream, McDonalds (Feys II Management), Coca-Cola, Flash Foods and Georgia Power.
A recent Q&A with artist JFly went like this...
Q. At five years in the game for the Waycross event, did you see yourself being here (as in the 5th year) when you started? And where does the event
go from here?
A. "No, I did not foresee the festival happening five years later. The festival thus far has made plenty of stride. From here, the goal is to expand it to various cities and extending the day from one to a two day festival."
Q. What has been the most challenging aspect of the entire process?
A. "A festival of this magnitude has never been done before in Waycross, which is an adjustment. Also keeping the festival free to the public given the lineup of international renowned acts has been a challenge."
Q. What would you say is the greatest reward from the experience of
creating the event?
A. "The exposure for the citizens and children in Waycross and surrounding areas; along with people being inspired to experience this annual event. What is also rewarding is citizens from Atlanta and city officials of the area that will be traveling to Waycross to witness this year's festivals such as, Dr. Joyce Morely--Board of DeKalb County School System, David Manuel--Director of Porter Sanford III Performing Arts Center and Curtis Winston--Director of South DeKalb YMCA."
Q. Have you met many people in Waycross who share experiences of what the concert means to them? If so, please share an experience or two?
A. "Yes, I receive personal Facebook messages from fans/citizens in Waycross and surrounding areas explaining how proud they are of my humanitarian efforts for the community that they deem to be revolutionary given it has never been done prior."
Q. Anything you'd like to add?
A. "It's important to acknowledge the 50th year anniversary of the historic MLK "I have a Dream" speech 1963, in parallel to the 5th year of HBIYD?! The "dream" has definitely been realized due to the groundbreaking sacrifices and achievement of the civil rights movement; and how a young boy (like myself) from Waycross is now living out his dreams by providing an exceptional opportunities for the community. I am grateful for Dr. King and how much his speech has mean to me! Although, I never knew that I would be where I am today; however, I am thankful that I have stayed true to my dream and continuing my path through faith."

Baseball Rolls To 14-5 Victory Over Purdue-North Central
March 29, 2005
Chicago, Ill. - The University of Illinois at Chicago baseball team took advantage of some wild pitching from Purdue-North Central as the Flames drew seven walks on the evening, six of which came around to score, as UIC extended its winning streak to five games with the 14-5 non-conference victory over the Panthers at Les Miller Field on Tuesday night.
UIC junior first baseman Jason Friedman paced the Flames' offensive attack, going 3-for-5 with five RBI and a run scored. Junior outfielder Ted Rosinski went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored on the evening, while sophomore second baseman Nick Rainwater connected for his first career homer, a solo-shot, in the bottom of the fifth inning.
With the victory, UIC improves to 10-9-1, while the Panthers fall to 7-10 on the campaign.
Junior pitcher Scott Saling (1-0) earned the victory for the Flames, scattering seven hits and striking out two batters in six innings of work. PNC reliever William Pitts (0-1) took the loss for the Panthers, allowing five runs in one inning of work, while issuing three bases on balls.
PNC got on the board in the first inning, as Ryan Hawkins and Dustin Waters opened the frame with back-to-back singles and moved into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt from first baseman Steve Georgian. Catcher Chris Stocker plated Hawkins with a RBI single, putting the Panthers ahead, 1-0.
UIC answered in the bottom of the second, as Rosinski drove in Larry Gempp Jr. with a double to right-center field, knotting the game up at 1-apiece.
UIC took the lead for good in the bottom of the third inning, as pinch-hitter Bryan Nolte roped a two-run double with the bases-loaded to put the Flames ahead, 3-1. Friedman put an exclamation point on the frame with a bases-clearing, two-bagger, extending UIC's advantage to 6-1.
The Flames tagged another five-spot on PNC in the bottom of the fourth, when seniors Jeff Gremley and Mike Bruszer each drew one-out walks. Gremley and Bruszer advanced on a double steal and scored on a two-run single by Bryan Russo. The Flames added three more runs in the frame on a RBI single from Rosinski and a two-run infield single by Friedman, extending the Flames advantage to 11-1.
UIC tacked on another run in the bottom of the fifth inning, behind a leadoff homer from Rainwater, putting the Flames ahead, 12-1.
PNC scored two runs in the top of the sixth inning, behind a RBI single from Joe Reid and a wild-pitch from Saling, narrowing the gap to 12-3.
The Panthers added a pair of runs in the top of the eighth inning, as Waters reached base on a Rainwater error and moved over to second on an infield single by Georgian. Both Waters and Georgian advanced a base on a wild pitch by UIC reliever Tom Szalewski.
Waters scored on a RBI groundout from Stocker, while shortstop Aaron Aigner plated Georgian with a sacrifice fly, cutting UIC's lead to 12-5.
The Flames added a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth, as Gremley tallied a two-run single, putting UIC ahead, 14-5.
UIC and PNC will do battle once again on Wednesday afternoon, with the first pitch slated for 4:05 p.m. at Les Miller Field.

99% of the images in this book represent my work covering the Society Beat for a weekly column titled "Out and About" for the Washington Post. From 1999-2006 I collaborated with columnist Roxanne Roberts and at various times our partners in crime were writers Janelle Erlichman, Beth Buchanan and Laura Thomas. It was fabulous fun and we covered well over 1000 parties in 7 years. I loved it!
Our beat took us to art openings, soirees, intimate gatherings, galas, and fundraisers, to name a few. We were open to all types of events, but always partial to the famous, powerful and intriguing. Besides the glamour of interacting with powerful politicians and celebrities, we met some wonderful "regular" folk and we always dined well at these events (my favorite perk). I never did meet Johnny Depp, though I was ever hopeful.
In this book there is plenty of love and plenty of power. Polar opposites on the political spectrum getting on quite nicely.
Which I feel illustrates one of my favorite quotes by Jimi Hendrix.
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." Hold the vision.
With a BFA in fine art, and a career as an editorial photojournalist, Rebecca D'Angelo brings an edge and intimacy to her work that you don't find in most photographers. Her work is thoughtful, and she has an ability to capture the ever elusive "decisive moment".

I am trying to find the direct expression of the function $f(t)$ given by $$f(t)= \int_{1}^\infty \frac{\arctan (tx)}{x^2\sqrt{x^2-1}}dx$$ It's hard for me to calculate the integration directly.Should I try the method of interchanging $\frac{d}{dx}$ with$\int$ or$\int$ with $\int$ ? Thanks for help.

Here is an answer obtained by maple
$$ -\frac{\pi}{2} \, \left( -1-t+\sqrt {1+{t}^{2}} \right) . $$
Presumably this was intended to be done with pen and paper, so here is what they might have had in mind. First note that convergence is excellent, so we may differentiate with respect to $t$ to obtain $$ f'(t) = \int_1^\infty \frac{x}{1+t^2x^2} \frac{1}{x^2\sqrt{x^2-1}} dx.$$ Now let $x^2-1 = u^2$ so that $x\, dx = u\, du$ and $$ f'(t) = \int_0^\infty \frac{u}{1+t^2(u^2+1)} \frac{1}{(u^2+1)\sqrt{u^2}} du = \int_0^\infty \frac{1}{1+t^2(u^2+1)} \frac{1}{u^2+1} du.$$ Putting $$ g(u) = \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{1+t^2(u^2+1)} \frac{1}{u^2+1} \quad \text{we seek to evaluate} \quad \int_{-\infty}^\infty g(u) du.$$ This may be done with the Cauchy Residue theorem applied to a half-circle contour in the upper half plane of radius $R$ (the contribution of the circle vanishes in the limit), giving $$ 2 \pi i \left(\operatorname{Res}_{u=i} g(u) + \operatorname{Res}_{u=\sqrt{-\frac{1}{t^2}-1}} g(u) \right).$$ These poles are both simple and we obtain $$ 2\pi i \left(- \frac{1}{4} i - \frac{1}{4} \frac{1}{\sqrt{-\frac{1}{t^2}-1}}\right) = \frac{\pi}{2} - i \frac{\pi}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{-\frac{1}{t^2}-1}} = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{2}\frac{t}{\sqrt{t^2+1}} \quad( t\geqslant 0)$$ Integrating we have $$ f(t) = C + \frac{\pi}{2} t - \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{t^2+1}.$$ Finally, to determine $C$, note that $f(0) = 0$ or $$ 0 = C - \frac{\pi}{2} $$ and hence $C = \frac{\pi}{2}$ giving the result $$ f(t) = \frac{\pi}{2} ( 1 + t - \sqrt{t^2+1} ).$$ When $t<0,$same calculation shows $$ f(t)= \frac{\pi}{2}(-1 + t +\sqrt{t^2+1})$$

TUCSON, Ariz. -
Hey Wildcat fans!
This past weekend was amazing! We swept the No. 2 UCLA Bruins, our second victory over the Bruins this season. Most of our team is from Southern California, so it was a very special win. Not only did this boost confidence going into the final matches of the season, but it also put us in a great position to go to the NCAA tournament.
The win over UCLA marked Coach Rubio's 500th win of his career! Much respect for an accomplishment like that.
Looking forward this week, we play our rivals ASU twice. First, we play on Tuesday in McKale Center, and then again on Saturday in Tempe! They have had their struggles this year, but we still need to come out and play hard for the victory. These matches mean a lot to us because in order for us to go to the NCAA tournament, we have to beat them.
We want to bring home the Territorial Cup and beat ASU on our Senior Night! I have six people from my family coming out to support me. Courtney Karst and Marketa Hanzlova have people flying in, too. It's our last home match of our careers, so this game has a lot of value in it for us three seniors. We all want it to be memorable and we want to win!
It has been my pleasure to write to you during the season. I hope you have enjoyed the updates, and thanks to all of you for your support of Arizona Volleyball!
Come out to support us in our final home match of the season, Tuesday, November 22 at 7:00 p.m. vs. in-state rival ASU!
State Farm Territorial Cup Series
Arizona vs. ASU
Tuesday, November 22 – 7:00 p.m.

The Gowanus Canal flushing tunnel system was originally constructed in the early 1900s to provide flushing of the Canal by withdrawing water from the head of the Canal, conveying it through a 1.15-mile tunnel, and discharging at Buttermilk Channel. In the late 1990s, the facility was rehabilitated and reactivated to bring water from Buttermilk Channel into the head of the Gowanus Canal. The reactivation resulted in dramatic improvements to water quality within the canal, especially dissolved oxygen. To further improve water quality in Gowanus Canal and address operational requirements, the Department has initiated the Gowanus Facilities Upgrade Project which includes the following components:
Water quality in the Gowanus Canal will be improved by increasing the dissolved oxygen concentrations, and decreasing coliform levels, and floatables.
Construction started in September 2009. The project will be complete in Spring 2014.
The cost of the construction for the Gowanus Facilities Upgrade is $160 million.
The improvements to the Flushing Tunnel, and installation of the new wastewater force main, will require a 26-month shutdown of the Flushing Tunnel operation. To mediate issues associated with the shut down, an Oxygenation Transfer System will be installed to maintain dissolved oxygen concentration standards in the canal.
Street work on Degraw Street near Columbia Street will require local full closure of Degraw Street, east of the intersection between Columbia Street and Tiffany Place, for approximately 6-months and a second one-lane closure of Degraw Street for approximately 9 months. A one-lane closure will be required on Butler Street between Bond and Nevins streets for a 1-year duration. One-lane closures will also be required on Degraw Street at Tompkins Place for two (2) 9-month durations.

MEDINA — The city school board approved Tuesday a controversial contract with the Cleveland public relations firm of Hennes Paynter Communications.
The company, which specializes in "crisis management," was hired March 6 — the day after The Gazette reported the details of Stepp's new contract, which provided an $83,000 signing bonus.
The firm worked for two weeks, at a cost of $20,370.
All but one of the board members voted to approve the contract, which had been signed by board member Susan Vlcek.
Thomas Cahalan abstained from the vote because he was not on the board when the contract was signed. Cahalan was named to the board March 24 to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Dr. Robert Wilder.
Someone in the audience interrupted the vote to ask why the contract was approved.
Board President Karla Robinson said the firm was hired "in response to the overwhelming number of calls, emails and media questions that we had regarding the superintendent's contract."
Robinson said the firm's advice was "extremely helpful."
"We needed objective third-party communications to assist us with prioritizing our response, organizing our response, figuring out what we need to research in order to respond more effectively to the community," she said. "We were truly overwhelmed. … We were in over our heads."
Vlcek agreed that the district did not have the staff to handle the public outcry.
"We have reduced our administration in various areas, and we just did not have the people to deal with the situation," she said.
A Gazette reporter asked Vlcek why the contract with Hennes Paynter was not considered by the full board, which met in a work session on the evening of March 6 — several hours after Vlcek signed the contract.
"We had not announced we would take action (at the meeting), so we couldn't take action," she said.
Vlcek also was asked why the contract was not approved sooner. The contract wasn't made public until April 3 — after a public records request by The Gazette.
She said the board was too busy trying to find a replacement for Wilder.
The board also discussed the possibility of pulling the district's 5.9-mill levy from the May 7 primary ballot.
Jeanne Hurt, community information coordinator, said it is still possible for the board to withdraw the levy, but the Medina County Board of Elections already has spent money on printing the ballots and poll worker training.
Andrew Shea, a junior at Medina High and the non-voting student representative on the board, said a levy still is needed.
"I, as a student, still need a passed levy, he said. "Regardless of the controversy that's occurred, regardless of when the next levy is, they are going to put a 'no' on that ballot."
Shea added that with the ratification of the teachers' contract and the state audit, he believes the board is moving in the right direction.
The board went into executive session to interview candidates to replace board president Charles Freeman, who resigned March 26.
The board will reconvene today at 6 p.m. in the Medina High School media center to finish the interviews of seven new candidates who applied.
The board did not re-interview the 11 previous candidates who applied for a seat left vacant by Wilder's resignation, but they will be considered to fill Freeman's position.
Bethany Dentler, executive director of the Medina County Economic Development Corp., also gave a presentation to the board about tax abatement agreements negotiated with companies in Montville Township.

Part 4
Chapter 2—Of Redemption
Section 9—Cyprian. A.D. 250.
Cyprian, in many places of his writings, very expressly limits Christ's sufferings and death to certain persons described by him; as when he says,[1] "Though we are many shepherds, yet we feed but one flock; and ought to gather together and cherish oves universas quas Christus sanguine suo et passione quaesivit 'all the sheep which Christ hath sought up by his blood and sufferings;' nor should we suffer our supplicant and grieving brethren to be cruelly despised and trodden down by the proud presumption of some persons." And in another place he asks,[2] "What can be a greater sin, or what a fouler spot, than to stand against Christ, than to scatter his church? quam ille sanguine suo praeparabit et condidit, 'which he has prepared and obtained by his own blood?'" And elsewhere he says,[3] 'Christ is the bread off life; et panis hic omnium non est, sed noster est;and this bread does not belong to all, but is ours;' and as we say, our Father,because he is the Father of them that understand and believe, so we call Christ our bread, qui corpus contigimus,'who have touched his body;'" in which words all but believers are excluded from having any share in Christ, the bread of life. And having in another place[4] mentioned Ezekiel 9:4, where a mark is ordered to be set upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and cry for the abominations of Jerusalem,he makes this observation; "This sign belongs to the passion and blood of Christ; et quisquis in hoc signo invenitur,'and whosoever is found with this sign shall be preserved safe and whole?'" which is approved by the testimony of God, saying, And the blood shall be for a sign upon the houses where you are, etc.What preceded in type before the Lamb was slain, is fulfilled in Christ, the truth following after; as there Egypt being smitten, the Jewish people could not escape but by the blood and token of the Lamb; so when the world shall begin to be wasted and smitten, quisquis in sanguine et signo Christi inventus fuerit, solus evadet, "whosoever shall be found in the blood, and with the mark of Christ, shall only escape." From whence it is evident, that Cyprian did not think that every individual of mankind is interested in the blood and death of Christ. And a little after, in the same epistle,[5] speaking of immortality, he has these words; "This grace Christ imparts, this gift of his mercy he gives, by subduing death through the victory of the cross; redimendo credentem pretio sauguinis sui,'by redeeming the believer with the price of his blood;' by reconciling man to God the Father, and by quickening the dead with the heavenly regeneration." And in one of his tracts,[6] animating the saints against the fears of death, he says, "Let him be afraid to die qui non Christi cruce et passione censetur,'who is not reckoned to have any part in the cross and sufferings of Christ;' let him be afraid to die who will pass from this death to a second death." And a little after,[7] "We who live in hope, and believe in God, and trust, Christum passum esse pro nobis, 'that Christ has suffered for us, and rose again;' abiding in him, and rising again by him and in him, why should we be unwilling to depart hence out of this world? or, why should we mourn over and grieve for our departed friends, as if they were lost. And in another place,[8] giving an account of our Lord's behavior before Pilate, makes this remark, "This is he, who when he held his peace in his passion, will not be silent afterwards in his vengeance: this is our God; id est, omnium, sed fidelium el credentium Deus,that is, not the God of all, but of the faithful and believers." To all which may be added another passage of his, which runs thus,[9] "Writing to the seven churches, and intimating to each of them their sins and transgressions, he said repent;to whom? but quos pretio magno sui samguinis redemerat,'whom he had redeemed with the great price of his blood.'" This last passage is indeed taken out of an epistle which Erasmus thought was not Cyprianbut Cornelius's, bishop of Rome; however, he afterwards judged it to be a learned piece, and not unworthy of Cyprian; Gravius and Palemius affirm it to be his;[10] and if it was Cornelius's, the citation may be properly enough made here, since he was contemporary with Cyprian. The passages cited by Monsieur Daille[11] from this writer, as being on the side of universal redemption, only set forth either the great encouragement given by God to penitent sinners, or that Christ came to be the Savior of mankind, to be given unto men, and that he came for the sake of all; which Cyprian explains in the very same passage,[12] of all sorts of men, learned and unlearned, of every age and sex; as in another of them, by a simile taken from the general and equal diffusion of the sun's light, he shows,[13] that Christ, the sun and true day, equally gives the light of eternal life in sua ecclesia, "in his own church;" and that the Israelites had an equal measure of the manna, without any difference of age or sex; so the heavenly grace is equally divided to all without any difference of sex or years, and without respect of persons; and the gift of spiritual grace poured forth super omnem Dei populum, "upon all the people of God." Some testimonies are next produced by Monsieur Daille[14] out of Novatian, Medhodius, and Arnobius; the first of these writers, in one of the passages cited, signifies that, there is hope of salvation for men in Christ: which is not at all against us; for hope is not taken away, but established upon better grounds by the doctrine of particular, than by that of general redemption; since according to the latter, all men are indeed redeemed by Christ, but it was possible that none might be saved by him; whereas the former secures the certain salvation of all the redeemed ones: and in the other of them he suggests, that the anger, hatred, and threatenings of God, are for the good of men, and in order to move upon them, and bring them to that which is right and good; but not a word does he say concerning the death of Christ, and redemption by it. The second of these authors referred to, explains the text in Romans 9:21, one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor,thus, "not that God makes some good and others evil, but that is to be understood of the power God has of doing what he will." Nor do we say that God makes any man evil, but that man made himself so; though we think none are good but whom God makes good. This writer indeed suggests, that it is the will of God that all men should be good, virtuous, and faithful, which is true of his approving but not of his determining will; and also intimates that all the good things of God are common to all, which in some sense holds good of the common bounties of providence, but not of the riches of grace. The third proposes a pagan objection, formed thus; "If Christ came to be the Savior of mankind, why does he not, with equal bounty, deliver all alike?" This objection, supposes, that according to the Christian scheme, all men were not delivered or redeemed by Christ. Arnobius answers to it, not by asserting a deliverance or redemption of every individual of mankind, but by putting another question thus, "Does not he equally deliver, who equally calls all?"In which he argues indeed, from the extent of the call to the extent of the deliverance; but then the call he speaks of seems to be not of every individual person, but of some of all sorts; a grant from Christ of coming to him to some of all sorts, sublimibus, infimis, servis, faeminis, pueris,"high and low, servants, women, and children;" which are his own words;[15] and consequently the deliverance he argues from hence must be only of some of all sorts; which is what we contend for.

A couple of the most commented on and most controversial posts I've ever written were entitled Wine and Pregnancy: The Facts, which referenced an article by the late Israeli wine critic Daniel Rogov about the subject, and a post entitled More on Wine and Pregnancy, which reacted to a more recent article in the news. Both of these posts still get comments today, many years after they were written. Of course most of them are people decrying how horrible it was to encourage people to have a glass of wine while pregnant.
You see, here in the highly moral society of America we've decided that somehow it's our business what other people are doing to their bodies, and in particular, we feel entitled to all but dictate to pregnant women what they can and cannot do, all in the name of our "concern" for the unborn child that is not ours.
Strangely, in a society that is ever mistrustful of its government, where the Surgeon General's warnings about cigarettes go completely disregarded, we hold one of his proclamations to be gospel. Namely that drinking any alcohol while pregnant harms the fetus.
This, of course, is a load of horseshit, to use a technical term. Just ask women in all the other countries around the world who are free from the shackles of American medical and moral conservatism and regularly have an occasional glass of wine while pregnant because that is part of their culture.
No, despite mountains of statistical evidence to the contrary, America continues to believe that having a glass of wine while pregnant is a risky thing. All because a bunch of studies were done decades ago with alcoholics and binge drinkers who ended up having kids with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and then those results were extrapolated to the general public, and served up as proof that drinking while pregnant puts the kid at risk.
Almost as amazing to me as this fact, has been that for the last 10 years there have been practically no attempts by rational, scientifically minded scholars, researchers, or doctors to correct this misguided notion.
Well thanks to a few Brits, we've now got what looks to be (you can never be certain just by reading a news story) a fairly well conceived and executed study proving that having a glass of wine with dinner a few nights a week is just fine, ladies.
And (BONUS!!) not only is it just fine, but if the study in question is actually correct, occasional moderate drinking during pregnancy actually leads to more physically coordinated kids! That's right. If you want to gestate a future gymnast, then red wine with dinner is your ticket.
Of course, I'm not giving advice here, nor encouraging anyone to go against the advice of those who are qualified to give it (your obstetricians) but if your OB is anything like ours, they've probably told you surreptitiously that a glass of wine might actually do the mother some good on occasion.
I encourage you to read the story, and decide for yourself, of course, but it's nice to see a real scientific study countering decades of misinformation.
And if after reading this your inclination is to write a comment here about how I'm going to rot in hell for telling women to engage in behavior which will deform their children, trust me, I've heard it all before and you can save yourself the effort of writing a comment which I'll just end up deleting anyway.
Bottoms up, moms!

The Dallas Opera's season opener 'Lucia di Lammermoor' features Romanian soprano Elena Mosuc in the title role. Famous for her pure tone coloratura voice and the ease of her high notes, Mosuc immediately captures her audience in Donizetti's thrilling masterpiece. The character Lucia possesses Mosuc. In this tragic obsession opera, Lucia Ashton falls in love with her family's enemy Sir Edgardo played by tenor Bryan Hymel.
Lucia's maniacal brother Lord Enrico Ashton (baritone Luca Grassi) plans her wedding to Lord Arturo (tenor Aaron Blake) in order to prop up the family's crumbling estate. Luca Grassi plays Lucia's Machiavellian brother brilliantly and deceives his sister into believing her lover Edgardo is unfaithful. In the end, Enrico is the downfall of both his family, the groom Arturo and Edgardo.
Performing one of the most famous scenes in opera while conquering Donizetti's difficult arias is almost an inhuman feat. Only the best in the world can fully realize the "mad scene" that sends chills down audiences' spines. Mosuc is one of the world's best and the Winspear was deadly quiet as Lucia descends the staircase with her bloody knife after murdering Arturo. Mosuc's subtle portrayal of a frail delusional woman unable to comprehend her act of violence is masterful.
In his Dallas Opera debut Bryan Hymel playing Lucia's ill-fated lover also possesses keen acting talent. From his love scenes to his anger over Lucia's deception and his tragic ending, Hymel is believable. His tenor voice is bright, beautiful and emotional. His voice compliments Mosuc's instrument and their scenes are musically rich.
With one of the finest conductors and orchestras in the U.S. and an excellent chorus that compliments the future and international opera stars, the TDO remains of the finest performing arts companies in the country. 'Lucia di Lammermoor' is a fully realized production with a delightful chorus (chorus master Alexander Rom) and strong orchestra directed by Graeme Jenkins. The luscious sets and costumes further enhance this classic opera.
For the past few years the Dallas Opera has taken creative risks further establishing it as one of the top opera companies in the U.S. The Dallas Opera produced the critically acclaimed world premiere of Moby Dick in 2010. In 2011 they produced the grand opera 'Boris Godunov' with bass Mikhail Kazakov in the title role. 'Boris Godunov' received rave reviews. The 2010-2011 season introduced Dallas to notable international stars and gifted young talents already making a splash in the opera world. This season promises to be as exciting.

Andrew Wiggins goes number 1 overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Joel Embiid goes number 3 overall to the Philadelphia 76ers on June 26 in the 2014 NBA draft. After much anticipation and guessing, Kansas Basketball fans don't have to wonder if Andrew Wiggins or Joel Embiid will go first, second or where they will land in the 2014 NBA draft. Wiggins became the second-ever No. 1 selection in Kansas basketball history, joining Danny Manning in 1988.
From KUathletics.com, "The duo became the 75th and 76th players to be drafted in Kansas men's basketball history and the 17th and 18th in the Bill Self era. It also marks the 24th time - and fifth-consecutive year - that multiple Jayhawks were drafted." Wiggins set the Kansas freshman single-season scoring record with 597 points in 2013-14.
Where the duo would land in the draft was the hottest topic of post-season conversation after the 2013-14 KU team fell short of high expectations. The talent laden team notched 10 losses for the season and only 25 wins. While that record may have been the envy of many college basketball teams, it was less than exceptional for a team with two top three NBA draft picks and the potential for more.
Kansas lost to a 4 seed Iowa State in the Big 12 Conference tournament and then lost to 1o seed Stanford in the NCAA tournament after pulling an overall 1 seed in each and winning the Big 12 regular season crown.
John Calipari seems to have a decent formula at Kentucky where he has pulled out a national championship with a team of one-and-done players. Bill Self has had plenty of wins in the recruiting arena, but has had difficulties in blending that talent together quickly for an immediate impact on the court.
The 2013-14 KU team proved that superior individual talent doesn't trump team unity and quality. While it is a proud moment for KU faithful to watch two young players achieve such success in the NBA draft, it leaves a few wondering why this talent could get the 2013-14 team further in the tournament.

Three Wildcats finish in the top-five places to secure two-stroke win
TUCSON, Ariz. ?- Bolstered by three players in the top-five places, the University of Arizona men's golf junior varsity team won the Elco, Inc. CSUB Fall Invitational by two strokes Tuesday in Bakersfield, Calif.
The Wildcat junior varsity shot a final-round 291 (+3) en route to a three-round total of 859 (-5) to hold on to just enough of its second-round lead to claim victory. Arizona began the day with a five-stroke lead over tournament-host and runner-up Cal State-Bakersfield. The Wildcats and Roadrunners were the only teams in the field of 15 to finish the 54-hole event under par.
It marks the Arizona junior varsity's third tournament victory since the start of the 2002-03 season. Incidentally, all of those wins have come in the team's first tournament of the season.
Sophomore Trey Denton led the way for the Wildcats, as he finished in a tie for second place with a three-round total of 213 (-3). Denton fired rounds of 69, 71 and 73 to collect the fourth top-10 finish of his collegiate career. He finished two strokes behind the University of British Columbia's David Stewart, who shot a two-under 70 Tuesday to finish at 211 (-5).
Sophomore Billy Whalen and freshman Nicholas Park, who each tied for fifth place, also played well for the Arizona JV. After redshirting last season, Whalen opened the 2005-06 campaign with his first career top-10 finish. He carded rounds of 74, 73 and a career-best 67 to finish at two-under 214, which was his low tournament total as well. It was his first tournament action since April 2004. Park, a native of Ithaca, N.Y., posted a top-five effort in his collegiate debut with a 214 (-2) total, which included rounds of 69, 72 and 73.
Also competing for the Wildcats were freshman Ben Fox, who tied for 11th place with a two-over 218 total and junior Brett Carter, who tied for 62nd place with a 235 (+19) total.
The 54-hole Elco, Inc. CSUB Fall Invitational was contested at Bakersfield Country Club, a par 72, 6,819-yard layout.

Cities across America – from Pensacola, Florida to Honolulu, Hawaii — have increasingly taken strong measures to discourage the homeless from making a home within their city limits. So it didn't seem surprising when the media ran with a story last week about two pastors and a 90-year-old homeless advocate "Charged With Feeding Homeless." As the AP reported,
To Arnold Abbott, feeding the homeless in a public park in South Florida was an act of charity. To the city of Fort Lauderdale, the 90-year-old man in white chef's apron serving up gourmet-styled meals was committing a crime.
For more than two decades, the man many call "Chef Arnold" has proudly fired up his ovens to serve up four-course meals for the downtrodden who wander the palm tree-lined beaches and parks of this sunny tourist destination.
Now a face-off over a new ordinance restricting public feedings of the homeless has pitted Abbott and others with compassionate aims against some officials, residents and businesses who say the growing homeless population has overrun local parks and that public spaces merit greater oversight.
The story certainly sounds like an outrageous restriction on charity. But did the media get the story right?

The reigning Canadian junior men's champion, Nam Nguyen, 13, has been blazing a trail since rocketing onto the national scene five years ago.
Nguyen kicked off his budding career by winning three national titles in a row. In 2007, at the tender age of eight, he became the youngest male ever to win the juvenile title.
He followed that up with the pre-novice and novice titles the next two seasons, once again earning the distinction of being the youngest person ever to do so.
Just one month before the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in his hometown of Vancouver, B.C., Nguyen captured the bronze medal at the junior level.
Shortly thereafter, he was asked to skate in the Olympic gala with the newly crowned champions. "Being selected to perform as a soloist was an honor for me and my family," Nguyen said. "I was very happy, and I felt so grateful to have the opportunity to represent young athletes from British Columbia, and, on a larger scale, Canada. I really wanted to show the world that we love to skate and entertain people."
As wise as he is athletically gifted, Nguyen understood that the invitation presented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study how figure skaters compete on the grand stage.
"The official practice was amazing because I had the opportunity to skate with all the Olympic medalists," he said. "This was a unique opportunity for me to watch these great skaters and learn from them."
It was not the first time that the seventh grader had skated at a major event. One year earlier, on the same ice, Nguyen performed at the Four Continents Championships gala. "One of my idols, Patrick Chan, introduced me to the audience," he said. "It was very exciting for me."
After Nguyen won the junior title last January, he returned home to find himself the guest of honor at a school assembly. "Everyone watched my long program plus an interview I did with Debbi Wilkes," he said with a smile. "All of my friends told me if I'm at the Olympics in 2014 and people interview me, I should say to the reporters, 'Thanks for supporting me, Brentwood Park.'"
Nguyen will skate at the senior level next season nationally. "Moving to the big leagues and competing with the senior men will be a big challenge for me," Nguyen said. "The key is that I have to set my goals. It is important to gain experience competing at this level."
He is already hard at work. He and his team are focused on developing his skating skills to make a seamless transition to the senior level. "The biggest area I need to improve on is the speed. I also need to focus on the quality of my edges, and growing artistically is a never-ending challenge," Nguyen explained.
"I need to work on all of these things to bring up my second mark, which will help me to be more competitive."
Nguyen is chasing his dream of representing Canada internationally, and he hopes to perform well enough this summer to warrant an assignment.
"I just became eligible in May, so I would love to represent Canada at the Junior Grand Prix level this season," he said. "In order for me to earn an assignment, I need to show my best to Skate Canada. I need to be consistent in training and in competition."

There's nothing quite like a well-told morality tale. This episode of Once Upon A Time revealed that father and son have a history with Peter Pan and it revisits the bad blood between Baelfire and Rumplestiltskin. It also introduced the Pied Piper and revealed what happened to Neal after being captured by Felix. So take a trip to Neverland and find out who has Nasty Habits.
Fairytale Land Flashback
Back in pre-curse Fairytale Land, a teenaged Baelfire and Rumplestiltskin are fighting again. Bae accuses his father of believing that he will leave him like everyone else has, which comes to fruition the very next day. Peter Pan in the guise of the Pied Piper has lured all the town's children away and now Rumplestiltskin is faced with an unwelcomed choice.
Rumplestiltskin has a history with Pan. They were friends in their youth but Pan betrayed him. The exact details were never disclosed but now they meet again and Pan proposes a deal where Baelfire chooses between him or Rumplestiltskin. However, the cowardly Rumplestiltskin can't take that chance and he whisks Bae home only to find out that Peter Pan told Bae about the deal. Oops! Bae becomes angry that his father didn't trust him and runs off anyway.
Boys 'N The Wood
Neal is a seasoned Lost Boy so he knows the ins and outs of Neverland. After all, he is the only one to leave. He escapes Felix and accidentally finds his father. After a rough start where Rumplestiltskin almost kills his own son, the two work together to catch a squid. They use the squid ink to temporary immobilize Pan and save Henry but it's all too easy.
Pan talks cryptically about a prophecy, forcing Rumplestiltskin to reveal the seer's prophecy that Henry would be his undoing and exposing his plot to kill his own grandson. Now that's love. He tries to smooth it over but Neal has heard enough and immobilizes his father as well. He runs off into the woods with an unconscious Henry and as expected, Pan recaptures Henry and takes Bae prisoner.
Rumplestiltskin, on the other hand, uses Bae's betrayal as an excuse to reclaim his nasty habit of self-preservation, meaning he's back to the business of killing Henry.
Map To The Stars
The Fairytale Friends (Charming, Hook, Emma, Snow, Tinker Bell and Regina) are in search of an exit strategy. Hook takes them to Neal's old hideaway and they look for a way out of Neverland. They find a coconut shell with holes in. When lit, it provides a map to the stars and a way out of Neverland. The only problem is that it's coded so only Neal can read it and they all think he's dead.
Peter Pan Is A Diabolical Mastermind
After Henry wakes up, Pan continues to try and corrupt him. He's already tried to use the Pied Piper pipe once to lure Henry but it didn't work because only boys who feel unloved and misunderstood and can hear it. He reinforces that Henry's encounter with Neal was all a dream and that his father is really dead. Then he presents The Lost Boys as a new opportunity. As a result, Henry can hear the music and joins the lost boys in their tribal dance.
Analysis: Mind Games and Core Beliefs
If there is one thing that we learned is that Peter Pan loves a mind game. He twists the Lost Boys (a name which was inspired by Rumplestiltskin) into his personal minions and even makes you question whether or not he allowed Baelfire to leave Neverland in the first place as apart of his plan. Robbie Kay's brilliant performance makes this whole Peter-Pan-Is-A-Bad-Guy storyline believable and incredibly entertaining. Again, great casting.
The remainder of this episode was about core beliefs. Rumplestiltskin's core belief is that he is unloved and expects everyone to leave him, so they do. Bae's core belief is that is father is evil and untrustworthy and he would rather risk losing his son than to trust his father. Henry's core belief was healthy but it shifted from "I am loved" to "I am alone" when Pan lies about Neal's death. That's three generations of men hindered by their own wrong beliefs and it makes for a sad tale. Another strong episode. 4 out of 5.

A water wall is another water body that is perfect for your garden and has a relaxing sound of falling water. A fountain is more traditional but a water wall would give your garden a minimalist and fresh look. But you may also give your water wall a natural look – just make it of rough stones. But if you like something more modern, choose an installation with lights and beautiful jets of water. A water wall with a mirror base looks fantastic and it seems that there's much more water flowing. Integrating the piece into a pool is also a stylish idea.

Quaker Steak & Lube, Plano, TX
Plano, TX 75024
United States of America
Phone: 972-377-5521
Price for meal: $15 including tax and tips
Date of review: Feb 12th, 2013
Submitted by Doc
Quaker Steak & Lube (QSL) is a lot of fun. The concept is essentially having a meal in a garage with cars on lifts ready to get a tube and lube. So the restaurant had a lot of cars and motorcycles lifted up in the air and people were seated underneath them. There were tons of flat screen TVs everywhere and even one built into the floor at the entrance.
QSL is a wing place, but carries a lot of other items on their menu including burgers. I ordered the Lube Special, a ½ lbs burger with mushrooms, cheese, and bacon. What's not there to like? It comes with a side and I was able to choose from several choices. I selected the regular fries for my burger. They asked how I wanted the burger cooked and I asked for it medium rare as usual.
The wait was less than ten minutes. The burger was cooked medium rare as requested and if you read my reviews often, you will notice this is not very often that the restaurants are able to cook them correctly, but this one was spot on. The meat was very juicy and had a wonderful taste. The bacon was good and the mushrooms were also decent. The burger came with a blue dressing sauce that I really didn't care too much about. It was pretty bland and didn't add anything to the burger. The bun was good and sturdy.
The fries were good fries, but nothing special.
I was pretty impressed with the burger. I was not expecting such a good burger from a place like this. This was a burger as good as the best burger places in town! It's a good 8.5 out of 10 and that puts I toward the top of the approved burger places. I will definitely be back again, and that time I will try their wings.

Supernatural is an American drama/horror television series of the CW television network. This series was first started on September 13, 2005 and five seasons have been completed by this series on CW network. Now the creator of this show, Eric Kripke has decided to release the sixth season of the Supernatural show. For the sixth season of the Supernatural tv show, the main storylines will involve the usual battery of supernatural creatures in the early seasons and (spoiler alert) battling Satan and trying to thwart the Apocalypse in season five which is currently wrapping up. Season 6 of the supernatural series will take this show in new and as-yet-unreported directions.
Due to increased ratings from the fourth and fifth seasons, creator of this series has planned for returning of the show with next season. The first season of the series was started by starring of Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, brothers who hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal. Both Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have six year contracts, so they will return for sixth season. The sixth season will guide towards the format of the early seasons, with "lots of meat-and-potatoes closed-ended episodes, and a season-long story arc to weave in". Continue Reading »

According to the National Lacrosse League on Wednesday, former Calgary Roughnecks head coach Chris Hall has been inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame. Hall coached the Roughnecks from 2002-2007 and won the Champion's Cup with Calgary in 2004.
Over six seasons while coaching Calgary, Hall had a record of 46-42. However twice the Roughnecks won ten games in a season while Hall was the Roughnecks head coach--in 2004 and 2005.
During Hall's first season with the Roughnecks, the team was a pitiful 4-12, but the team scored 224 goals that year. It would be the most goals scored by the Roughnecks in one season while Hall was the Roughnecks' head coach.
From 2009-2014, Hall was the head coach of the San Jose/Washington/Vancouver Stealth. Hall would go on to win 39 more games with the Stealth franchise. His 85 career wins in the National Lacrosse League ranks third all-time behind Darris Kilgour of the Buffalo Bandits (121) and Les Bartley of the Toronto Rock (93).
Hall is also one of two National Lacrosse League coaches to win the Champion's Cup with two different teams. Hall led the Washington Stealth to a Champion's Cup title in the Stealth's first year of existence in Everett, Washington in 2010.
Hall made the difficult decision to retire at the end of last season from Vancouver and was replaced by Dan Perreault. The reason for the retirement was health issues because Hall was diagnosed with cancer in 2011.
Hall will be joined in the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame with former defenseman Pat Coyle. A native of Orangeville, Ontario, Coyle played in the NLL from 1999-2008. His first six seasons were with the Toronto Rock and his last four seasons were with the Colorado Mammoth. Coyle was known throughout the entire NLL for collecting loose balls.

One of the pleasures of summer is enjoying a healthy, beautiful lawn. Maybe ours is not as lovely as we would like it to be. What are we doing wrong, and how can we improve it? Here are some suggestions that should improve your grass this summer.
How Long Should the Grass Be?
Your grass should not be cut too short. Most experts say that the best length for summer is 3 to 4 inches. When grass is shorter than 3 inches, it may not be as resistant to drought. Also, when the grass is too short, there is more room for weeds to come in and take over. Another advantage of allowing your grass to stay at the height of 4 inches or more is that you don't have to mow as often.
How and When Should You Fertilize Your Lawn?
Sometimes our lawn begins to look a little unhealthy in the summer. If this happens, resist the temptation to fertilize. Hot temperatures combined with high-nitrogen fertilizers can harm your lawn and turn it brown. Even though fertilizing in the hot summer months might produce new growth, that's not good either. That new growth may have a hard time surviving the heat. Fertilizing is best done early in the season with a low-nitrogen, slow-release fertilizer.
Natural fertilizers are becoming popular. Natural fertilizers don't use synthetic chemicals or pesticides. There are several benefits of natural lawn care. It is healthier for people and the environment. The grass is healthier and is able to absorb more carbon dioxide form the air and give off more oxygen.
Watering Your Lawn
How much water does your grass need? It's a good idea to use a rain gauge. You can make one easily. Cut off the narrow neck of a plastic bottle. Using a permanent marker, make marks up the side in one-fourth inch intervals.
You grass should be watered about 1 inch a week in moderately hot weather. When the temperatures really soar, 2 inches a week is good. If there is plenty of rain, you won't need to water your lawn. This is where the rain gauge comes in handy. Then you know if it has enough water or whether you need to get out your garden hose.
Some people set up a rain barrel to provide water for the lawn. They feel that is is healthier to use this natural method for watering. Another advantage of using a rain barrel is that you are preserving water and saving money on your bill.
If you find that you do need to add water, the best time to hose your lawn is early morning or evening when it is cooler. You don't want to water the grass in the hottest part of the day. If you do, you are risking water loss through evaporation.
After all of this care being put into your lawn, you don't want to inflict damage with dull blades. Whether it is you mower, clippers, or other tools, the blades should be sharp. If not, your grass will be torn and mashed instead of having a clean cut. That leaves it vulnerable to the high temperatures and it may turn brown.
Another way to care for your lawn is by mulching. Mulch helps to hold in mosture. It also improves the soil when it decomposes, and even helps to reduce erosion. Several materials can be used for mulch – leaves, straw, and so on. But some people simply use the grass clippings as mulch, which is easy, convenient, and natural.
A Word About Weeds
Homeowners who practice natural lawn care don't mind if there are a few weeds in their yard. Many weeds are actually valuable and are important to the ecosystem.
Beneficial Insects and Birds
A lawn that is cared for naturally will tend to attract wildlife, especially bees and birds. These important members of the ecosystem appreciate a sanctuary that is free from chemicals and where there is suitable habitat.

A backyard pool or spa can be lots of fun for the whole family and it is important to consider safety before AND after a pool or spa is installed.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), among children ages 1 to 4 years, most drownings occur in residential swimming pools. The CDC reports that most young children who drowned in pools were last seen in the home, had been out of sight for less than five minutes, and were in the care of one or both parents at the time.
Pool fencing and other barriers can help prevent children from gaining access to pools and spas without caregivers' awareness. The fence or barrier should completely separate the house and play areas of the yard from the pool or spa area. Some families include additional safety measures such as automatic door locks or alarms to prevent access and to sound if someone enters the area.
Download the following fact sheets for pool barrier information (PDF):
In addition to providing a barrier around your pool or spa, here are some important safety practices you should consider:

Is it okay to start a tag wiki for a video game by copying & pasting text from the Wikipedia article on that game? Do we need to put a link back to the Wikipedia article at the end to indicate where the text came from? What about once other users on our site make additional edits, at what point would the tag wiki be original enough that attribution to Wikipedia is no longer required?
If you do it right, yes. Wikipedia is licensed under the same license as Stack Exchange content is: Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0.
From the Wikipedia attribution requirements page, with a bit of reformatting:
In practice, it's much simpler if you don't do that. The point of tag wikis is not so much explaining what the tag is — the excerpt should do that — as it is to highlight the frequently asked questions we have about a game; see the Stack Overflow C# tag wiki for example..
You should still be free to collect information and rephrase it originally — only the form of facts can be copyrighted, the facts themselves cannot. However, I'm not a lawyer.
