The Holy Supper
Although, in the opinion of some, the exposition of this article perhaps should not be inserted into this document, in which we intend to explain the articles which have been drawn into controversy among the theologians of the Augsburg Confession (from which the Sacramentarians soon in the beginning, when the Confession was first composed and presented to the Emperor at Augsburg in 1530, entirely withdrew and separated, and presented their own Confession), still, since some theologians, and others who boast a the Augsburg Confession, have, alas! during the last years, given their assent in this article to the Sacramentarians no longer secretly, but partly publicly and against their own conscience have endeavored to wrest forcibly and to pervert the Augsburg Confession as being in this article in entire harmony with the doctrine of the Sacramentarians, we neither can nor should omit our testimony by our confession of the divine truth also in this document, and must repeat the true sense and proper understanding of the words of Christ and of the Augsburg Confession with reference to this article, and b, so far as in us lies, by God's help, preserve it c also for posterity, and faithfully warn our hearers, together with other godly Christians, against this pernicious error, which is entirely contrary to the divine Word and the Augsburg Confession, and has been frequently condemned.
Although some Sacramentarians strive to employ words that come as close as possible to the Augsburg Confession and the form and mode of speech in its d churches, and confess that in the Holy Supper the body of Christ is truly received by believers, still, when we insist that they state their meaning properly, sincerely, and clearly, they all declare themselves unanimously thus: that the true essential body and blood of Christ is absent from the consecrated bread and wine in the Holy Supper as far as the highest heaven is from the earth. For thus their own words run: Abesse Christi corpus et sanguinem a signis tanto intervallo dicimus, quanto abest terra ab altissimis coelis. That is: "We say that the body and blood of Christ are as far from the signs as the earth is distant from the highest heaven." Therefore they understand this presence of the body of Christ not as a presence here upon earth, but only respectu fidei (with respect to faith) e, that is, that our faith, reminded and excited by the visible signs, just as by the Word preached, elevates itself and ascends above all heavens, and receives and enjoys the body of Christ, which is there in heaven present, yea, Christ Himself, together with all His benefits, in a manner true and essential, but nevertheless spiritual only. For f as the bread and wine are here upon earth and not in heaven, so the body of Christ is now in heaven and not upon earth, and consequently nothing else is received by the mouth in the Holy Supper than bread and wine.
Now, originally, they alleged that the Lord's Supper is only an external sign, by which Christians are known, and that nothing else is offered in it than mere bread and wine (which are bare signs g of the absent body of Christ). When this h would not stand the test, they confessed that the Lord Christ is truly present in His Supper, namely per communicationem idiomatum (by the communication of attributes), that is, according to His divine nature alone, but not with His body and blood.
Afterwards, when they were forced by Christ's words to confess that the body of Christ is present in the Supper, they still understood and declared it in no other way than spiritually i, that is, of partaking through faith of His power, efficacy, and benefits, because j through the Spirit of Christ, who is everywhere, our bodies, in which the Spirit of Christ dwells here upon earth, are united with the body of Christ, which is in heaven.
The consequence was that many great men were deceived by these fine, plausible words, when they alleged and boasted that they were of no other opinion than that the Lord Christ is present in His k Supper truly, essentially, and as one alive; but they understand this according to His divine nature alone, and not of His body and blood, which, they say, are now in heaven, and nowhere else, and that He gives us with the bread and wine His true body and blood to eat, to partake of them spiritually through faith, but not bodily with the mouth.
For they understand the words of the Supper: Eat, this is My body, not properly, as they read, according to the letter, but figurate, as figurative expressions, so that eating the body of Christ means nothing else than believing, and body is equivalent to symbol, that is, a sign or figure of the body of Christ, which is not in the Supper on earth, but only in heaven. The word is they interpret sacramentaliter seu modo significativo (sacramentally, or in a significative manner), nequis rem cum signis ita putet copulari, ut Christi quoque caro nunc in terris adsit modo quodam invisibili et incomprehensibili (in order that no one may regard the thing so joined with the signs that the flesh also of Christ is now present on earth in an invisible and incomprehensible manner); that is, that the body of Christ is united with the bread sacramentally, or significatively, so that believing, godly Christians as surely partake spiritually of the body of Christ, which is above, in heaven, as they eat the bread with the mouth. But that the body of Christ is present here upon earth in the Supper essentially, although invisibly and incomprehensibly, and is received orally, with the consecrated bread, even by hypocrites or those who are Christians only in appearance l I this they are accustomed to execrate and condemn as a horrible blasphemy.
Over against this it is taught in the Augsburg Confession from God's Word concerning the Lord's Supper: That the true body and blood of Christ are truly present in the Holy Supper under the form of bread and wine, and are there dispensed and received; and the contrary doctrine is rejected (namely, that of the Sacramentarians, who presented their own Confession at the same time at Augsburg, that the body of Christ, because He has ascended to heaven, is not truly and essentially present here upon earth in the Sacrament m); even as this opinion is clearly expressed in Luther's Small Catechism in the following words: The Sacrament of the Attar is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, for us Christians to eat and to drink, instituted by Christ Himself; and in the Apology this is not only explained still more clearly, but also established by the passage from Paul, , and by the testimony of Cyril, in the following words: The Tenth Article has been approved, in which we confess that in the Lord's Supper the body and blood of Christ are truly and substantially present, and are truly tendered with the visible elements, bread and wine, to those who receive the Sacrament. For since Paul says: "The bread which we break is the communion of the body of Christ," etc., it would follow, if the body of Christ were not, but only the Holy Ghost were truly present, that the bread is not a communion of the body, but of the Spirit of Christ. Besides, we know that not only the Romish, but also the Greek Church has taught the bodily presence of Christ in the Holy Supper. And testimony is produced from Cyril that Christ dwells also bodily in us in the Holy Supper by the communication of His flesh.
Afterwards, when those who at Augsburg delivered their own Confession concerning this article had allied themselves with the Confession of our churches n, the following Formula Concordiae, that is, articles of Christian agreement, between the Saxon theologians and those of Upper Germany was composed and signed at Wittenberg, in the year 1536, by Dr. Martin Luther and other theologians on both sides:
We have heard how Mr. Martin Bucer explained his own opinion, and that of the other preachers who came with him from the cities, concerning the holy Sacrament of the body and blood of Christ, namely, as follows:
They confess, according to the words of Irenaeus, that in this Sacrament there are two things, a heavenly and an earthly. Accordingly, they hold and teach that with the bread and wine the body and blood of Christ are truly and essentially present, offered, and received. And although they believe in no transubstantiation, that is, an essential transformation of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, nor hold that the body and blood of Christ are included in the bread localiter, that is, locally, or are otherwise permanently united therewith apart from the use of the Sacrament, yet they concede that through the sacramental union the bread is the body of Christ, etc. o. For apart from the use, when the bread is laid aside and preserved in the sacramental vessel p, or is carried about in the procession and exhibited, as is done in popery, they do not hold that the body of Christ is present.
Secondly, they hold that the institution of this Sacrament made by Christ is efficacious in Christendom q, and that it does not depend upon the worthiness or unworthiness of the minister who offers the Sacrament, or of the one who receives it. Therefore, as St. Paul says, that even the unworthy partake of the Sacrament, they hold that also to the unworthy the body and blood of Christ are truly offered, and the unworthy truly receive them, if r the institution and command of the Lord Christ are observed. But such persons receive them to condemnation, as St. Paul says; for they misuse the holy Sacrament, because they receive it without true repentance and without faith. For it was instituted for this purpose, that it might testify that to those who truly repent and comfort themselves by faith in Christ the grace and benefits of Christ are here applied, and that they are incorporated into Christ and are washed by His blood.

State of Florida vs Michael Dunn: Friday, February 7, 2014 - Day 2, Room 406.
11:00 a.m. – Kevin Thompson, 18-year-old attends FSCJ, lives with parents and knew Jordan Davis as a close friend. He was seated on the front passenger seat of the red Durango when they drove to the Towncenter to 'girl-watch' and go to Urban Outfitters to see Jordan's girlfriend.
Child locks were on when they stopped at the GATE convenience store for gum & cigarettes. The driver was the only one who left the vehicle. Rap music was playing loud and only Jordan's window was down.
A black sedan parked next to the red Durango. A white lady got out and Thompson identified Michael Dunn as the driver. Dunn stated, "Turn your music down, I can't hear myself think". Jordan told Kevin to "Turn the music back up" after Kevin had turned it down. Jordan was the only one to make comments to Dunn. Neither Jordan nor anyone in the SUV threatened Dunn at any time. Kevin raised Jordan's window to about 3 inches from the top.
The driver returned to his car as he was dancing to the music. Dunn grabbed his gun and asked Jordan, "Are you talking to me?" Driver then reversed the SUV & pulled off. Thompson leaned over away from the shots and didn't get up until they came to a nearby adjacent plaza. All passengers answered except Jordan as he gasped for air.
The driver & Kevin got out of the SUV at the plaza. They saw Dunn driving away as they returned to their vehicle and drove back to the GATE. 911 was called as others tried to help Jordan. The other 3 passengers were taken in for questioning. They individually identified Dunn as the assailant from a photograph.
Defense pointed out that Thompson's door window was shattered. 911 was not called immediately. Dunn drove away quietly and did not fire again. 911 was not contacted at the plaza. Child locks were on the tinted windows with the windows vibrating due to the loud music, yet some of Jordan's & Dunn's conversation could not be heard by the others. Dunn could have said "Thank you", but it could not be confirmed. Kevin had acquaintance with Jordan on 2 separate occasions. Dunn turned towards Jordan & fired. They went back to the GATE as the SUV driver and the 'white truck' driver called 911.
Kevin also called numerous other people from his phone. Jordan's feet, while in the vehicle, were forward & slanted to the side.
12:00 p.m. – side bar. Lunch break, returning at 1:00 p.m. Stay tuned for Pts. III - V

Thanksgiving Delights
Thanksgiving is almost here so we thought it was a good time to offer some help with the cooking. That means some tips, hints and a few fabulous recipes from Chef Tina Martini:
When it comes to preparing a thanksgiving meal, plan ahead, don't wait! Do as much preparation before the party as possible - there are some things you can do as early as two to three days in advance like our Turkey Roulade (you'll find the recipe below!) A few items going directly from fridge to oven to table can make a huge difference. Our delicious cranberry, cherry chutney can be prepared two to three days in advance along with gravy and stuffing. For some dishes like chutney, letting them sit for a few days can actually greatly enhance the taste since this allows the flavors to marry and further develop.
Place cocktail/drink glasses in the freezer one day in advance and choose a drink that can be made by the pitcher. This way all you have to do is take the glasses out and pour! If you're doing our cranberry margarita, which you'll also find below, cut small lime wheels or wedges and freeze them right in the glasses. This will serve as an attractive garnish and keep the drink chilled.
This year greet your guests with a fabulous smile and chilled drink in hand! No need to be frazzled or frantic! Remember…plan, prep, and present!
Cranberry, Cherry and Walnut Chutney
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups red wine
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 inch piece of orange rind
- 1 inch piece of lemon rind
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 cloves
- 1/2 inch of ginger, peeled
- 1/2 cup dried tart cherries
- 12 ounce package of fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2/3cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Combine sugar, wine, whole spices and citrus skins in a medium nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Add cherries and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and add citrus juices. Simmer until about half the cranberries pop, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the walnuts, orange zest and nutmeg. Let cool completely. The chutney will thicken as it cools. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Turkey Roulade
- 1 boneless turkey breast half, about 3 lbs
- 2 cups wild mushroom stuffing
- 10 ounces thick sliced apple-smoked bacon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On a large cutting board, place turkey breast on top of plastic wrap and cut so that it opens up to one large flat piece of even thickness. Cover with additional plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of just under 1/2 inch. Remove plastic wrap from top of turkey and spread stuffing evenly over middle portion of turkey breast and roll it up, using the plastic wrap to help keep the roll in place.
On a large piece of parchment paper, lay the slices of bacon down so that they just overlap. The resulting blanket of bacon should be long enough to cover the entire length of the turkey roulade.
Lift the turkey roulade off the plastic and onto the bacon slices. Using the parchment as a handle, carefully roll up roulade, "tootsie-roll" fashion. Twist ends tightly. Place this roll on top of a large piece of aluminum foil and roll entire roulade, paper and all, with the aluminum foil. Crimp ends closed. Bake in a roasting pan with a rack for 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reads 155 degrees. Let roulade rest for 15 minutes, then slice into 1-inch slices and serve.
Wild Mushroom Stuffing
- 1 cup fresh white bread (such as ciabatta), crust removed and cubed.
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 slices of apple smoked bacon, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
- 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 ounces assorted mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup Marsala wine
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
In a small bowl, soak the bread crumbs in milk.
In a saut? pan, saut? bacon over medium-high heat until crisp and all fat is rendered. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until mushrooms have released their liquid and are soft, about 4 minutes. Deglaze with Marsala and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Squeeze excess milk from bread and place bread in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and mix well, breaking up pieces of bread. Add mushroom mixture, thyme, sage, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.
Cranberry Margarita
- 1 ounce Tequila
- 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
- 3 ounces Cranberry juice
- 3 ounces fresh squeezed lime juice
Pour all ingredients into a pint glass with ice. Shake and strain into a bucket glass and garnish with a lime wheel.

ANGA member company Apache Corp will be the first company to power an entire fracturing job with engines that run on clean, domestic natural gas. The move will cut fuel costs by about 40 percent and slash air emissions. According to Apache Corp's Mike Bahorich, "the goal is to reduce costs, while increasing use of the domestically produced fossil fuel and cutting emissions."
The engines, according the Houston Chronicle's FuelFix blog, will be dual-fuel engines that use mostly natural gas for their power. FuelFix breaks down the savings and benefits of Apache's decision:
"Because Apache is using modified diesel engines to power its fracking operation, it will employ a dual-fuel approach that will still use a small portion of diesel along with the natural gas, he said. Even then, fuel costs for a single frack job are expected to drop substantially, according to the company's calculations. Based on December prices, Apache estimates fuel costs for a frack job would drop from $123,386 on diesel to $74,473 using the dual-fuel engines. A typical frack job in the Granite Wash play of Texas and Oklahoma can use around 36,000 gallons of diesel, the company said."
Using more of this abundant, domestic energy source offers numerous cost-saving and environmental benefits to power our clean energy future. The air emissions benefits have been noted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) which found, due in large part to natural gas production, energy-related CO2 emissions have fallen to their lowest level in 20 years.
Thanks to safe and responsible development, we do not have to choose between economic growth and environmental protections. We applaud Apache, and other ANGA member companies, for using more natural gas to cleanly and affordably power their operations.

There are very few dentists that participate in the Medicaid program in Wisconsin and I have heard a lot of complaints from patients about not being able to be seen if they have children on Medicaid or they were on Badger Care. One way to alleviate this would be to start a program for mid level dental therapists for at-need areas. The legislature would have to pass laws to allow this first which isn't any easy thing to do with Wisconsin's political climate right now.
It makes sense to have some kind of dental care rather than none at all. The cost ends up being more for the state or it can be seen as a loss of revenue for the hospital if there are no dental personnel available in their area or they do not accept Medicaid. In these cases patients use an emergency room for a dental visit. There were 830,590 people who did in 2009 across the U.S. Mid-level dental therapists would cost less in the long run.
Even when children qualified for dental care through Medicaid there were 52% who never went to a dental office across the United States in 2011. In that same year in Wisconsin 71.5% of Medicaid children never set foot in a dental office, according to studies done by Pew Charitable Trusts.
There were twenty-two states where most Medicaid-enrolled children did not receive dental care in 2011. Wisconsin was one of those states. Illinois was not.
The Affordable Care Act is supposed to make it better and easier for children in the United States to get dental treatment if they are under the age of 18. Most states have decided to cover preventive dental care as well as dental treatments (cavities filled, root canals, extractions). They have done this by choosing to use the Children's Health Insurance Program plan or the MetLife High Option plan according to the American Dental Association.
The lone exception to this is Utah which decided to only cover preventive care which includes cleanings, exams and sealants but not treatment for the children in their state under the Affordable Care Act. State legislators decide what to cover for the children residing in their states.
Under the Affordable Care Act a tax credit will be given to people purchasing a dental plan if it is purchased with a medical policy. If a medical plan does not offer dental along with it and it is a stand alone plan no tax credit will be given under the Affordable Care Act. It is best to get a dental plan along with a medical plan in order to get the tax credit on your income tax form.
Right now only 23 states and Washington D.C. have opted to cover adults in the way the Affordable Care Act recommends. The American Dental Association divided the categories of care covered by the A.C.A into
- None (AL, CA, DE, MD,NV, OK, TN, UT)
- Emergency (AZ, CO, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, ME,MS, MO, MT, NH,SC, TX, WA, WV)
- Limited (AR, DC, IN, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, NE, NJ, PA, SD, VA, VT, WY)
- Extensive (AK, CT, IA, NM,NY, NC, ND, OH,OR, RI, WI)
Wisconsin made it to the Extensive Care list along with ten other states. This care is defined as "A more comprehensive mix of services, including many diagnostic, preventive, and minor and major restorative procedures. It includes benefits
that have a per-person annual expenditure cap of at least $1,000. It includes benefits that cover at least 100 procedures out of the approximately 600 recognized procedures per the ADA's Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature" on the American Dental Associations web site.
Just how this new coverage will be implemented is yet to be seen. Federal funding for the Affordable Care Act was refused by the Governor in Wisconsin which in turn made premiums higher for residents enrolled in the Affordable Care Act to make up the difference the federal government was willing to kick in to help poorer residents of the state.
In case things stay the same in Wisconsin with dentists not being compensated properly for their services and patients are still tempted to use the Emergency room for dental care please refer to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. They have a list of low-cost or free dental clinics online for adults not covered or having little extra money leftover from paying for rent, heat, clothing and food. Another option is to stand in line at a Mission of Mercy event or go to a Dentistry From The Heart event.

- Maharashtra- Creamy Layer Income limit
The income limit for creamy layer status has been increased to 4.5 lakh by Government Resolution Number CBC10-2008/697/5 dated 13-1-2009.
Earlier the state government had issued the GR dated 5-6-1997 changing the central government criteria of creamy layer. In this GR a class A officer was under Non Creamy Layer if his income was less than 1 lakh. The same criteria was continued with increase of income limit from time to time. Means the Class of Central Government Notification was shifted to income by this GR.
However, above mentioned recent GR issued on 13-1-2009 states that the Non Creamy Status of OBC shall be decided as per Central Government Notification. Means all six categories as mentioned in Central Government Notification (Stated every where on this website) shall be applicable. Also, the GR states that the income limit for deciding creamy layer (of other than salaried persons) shall be applicable as decided by Central Government from time to time.
Maharashtra- New castes added in OBC List
Recently State Government has issued new GR on dated on 18-10-2013 to add new castes in Maharashtra State OBC List. The castes are Rathod, Marwadi Navhi, Guradi, Bagadi, Jangam, Kathar Deondiga, Yadav, Shimpi, Darji, Kachi, Pancham Winkar, Telgu shimpi Malajangam, ladshakhiy wani etc.
- Read More to obtain the complete GR.
Maharashtra Creamy Layer Duration 3 years
Maharashtra Government has issued a GR specifying the duration of validity of creamy layer certificate for three years. Click Here to download the GR.
However, as usual the GR is incomplete, misleading with unnecessary introduction quoting Indira Sahani case . It states that the creamy layer certificate shall be issued for 3 years to the children of parents whose income for all three years is less than 6 lakh. The parents whose income for last 2 years is less than 6 lakh, their children shall be issued NCL for 2 years. Similarly, the parents whose income for 1 year is less than 6 lakh, their children shall be issued NCL certificate for 1 year.
The desk officer who has drafted this GR has forgotten that income test is one of the six criteria on which Non Creamy Layer Certificate is issued which is applicable for Business Class. However, for the the wards of parents in Government service, Salary income is not applicable. For income test income other than salary and agriculture income is applicable for service class category. The sons and daughters whose father/ mother or both are appointed as Class 3 or Class 4 government employee, their sons and daughters are NCL forever. Similarly there are various sub categories in service class where the candidate's NCL is decided on appointment or promotion status of their parents.
It is observed that, the Government Officers have not clearly understood Central Government memorandum dated 8th Sept 1993. The GR misleads the certificate issuing authorities as if NCL is issued on income of parents.
We request State Government to issue necessary corrigendum/ addenda to the GR specifying limits of certificates for other categories also. eg- NCL Certificate for Service Category is perpetual.
Please don't confuse people.
Maharashtra Creamy Layer Limit- 6 lakh
Maharashtra Government has issued a GR stating new creamy layer limit. Now the creamy layer limit for OBC in Maharshtra State has been increased to 6 lakh. GR also iterates that the rules and regulation issued by central government issued from time to time shall be followed.
OBC Guru had pointed out the mistake in the letter issued by state government about income consideration.(Check letter below) , however, same has been rectified in this GR.
The sons and daughters of the persons, where income test is applicable, are eligible for NCL certificate if the income of any one year of last three years is less than 6 lakh.
Maharashtra Govt. letter dated 22-1-2013. Thanks
Government of Maharashtra have recently issued a a letter to clarify Non Creamy layer in accordance with Central Government Notifications issued from time to time. Thanks to Govt of Maharashtra for issuing information that clearly states every thing without any ambiguity.
Click here to download Government Letter dated 22-1-2013 (Mistake in the letter is highlighted)
However, there is one mistake in the letter. It states that the income of parents for each year of the last three consecutive year shall be less than 4.5 lakh lakh for Non Creamy Layer Certificate. It has given the reference of Central Govt 14-10-2004 Office Memorandum. The said Office Memorandum says that the income of any one of three last consecutive year shall be less than prescribed limit.
Click here to Check Central Government OM dated 14-10-2004 & (Highlighted Text)
The mistake is also with contrary to Maharashtra Govt GR issued earlier on 30th June 1998 that clearly states that the lowest income of the last three consecutive year shall be considered and average shall not be considered.
Click here to verify 1998 Mah. Government GR
OBCGURU request Maharashtra Government to rectify the mistake immediately and also to issue application format as per Central Government application form for Non Creamy Layer certificate. clearly mentioning the explanatory notes (as given in above letter) on the rear side of each application form.
However, we congratulate GOM for reinstating Central Government Norms and issuing a clear letter.
The salient points are-
1) Sons and daughters whose father/ mother or both were in Class III and Class IV employee of State or Central Government at the time of service and later get Class I/ II service (at any age, may be at the age less than 40 years) are always in Non Creamy Layer.
Example: a) Mr A and Mrs A both are now Cass One officers who were class Three at the time of joining the service. Sons/ Daughters of A & B are under Non Creamy Layer.
Please Note again income limit is not for service class. It is for business class.
2) If salaried persons have other income (Again here excluding income from Agriculture) shall be less than 4.5 lakh or limit prescribed from time to time.
Example b) Suppose same A and B both have a house and getting income of Rs 4 lakh per year from the rent. They have also agriculture income of Rs 5 lakh or more per year. Their salary income is 12 lakh per anum. Sons/ Daughters of A & B are still under Non Creamy Layer because salary income and agriculture income are not added and other income is 4 lakh which is less than 4.5 lakh.

Welch hi Majoretts 1949
Photo Comments
Yes Linda, Can't wait to post your picture.I am waiting for Pat to send me her photo winning "All McDowell County Majorett". Welch had some majoretts to be proud of.

Oh, Linda, I can't wait to see your picture posted in the album! It will be a subtle reminder that the Class of 1961 has its own little mascot to brag about!

Nancy - You're too sweet! Yes, I have some pictures I'll send you.
Jan. 31, 2006 By:
Oh! I love seeing pictures of little Patty St. Clair when she was our Maroon Wave mascot. Her sister Linda was the mascot right after Patty outgrew the role. In fact I think they were the only ones who held that position. I wish we had some pictures of Linda! Does anyone out there have any?

How Do I Apply & Remove Snazaroo Face Paint?
Snazaroo Face Paints are water activated, they are meant to be mixed with water. When using a sponge or brush, add a small amount of water to the sponge or brush and mix it onto the Snazaroo face paint cake. Practice to learn how much water Snazaroo Paints need - too little and you'll see skin through the paint, too much and it may look streaky or bubbly. When using a sponge, apply Snazaroo like shoe polish until you have color coverage and then pat the sponge on the face for a nice even coat.
You will find variations in consistency between Snazaroo colors due to the different pigments used, so some colors (like green and orange) will need more water than white or black. That is normal.
For sensitive skin, Snazaroo suggests a twenty minute patch test before painting on the full face or body. For a patch test, properly apply Snazaroo paints to a one by two inch patch on the inside of the elbow. After twenty minutes, remove the paint with water only and wipe dry. Look for anything that might be of concern. Snazaroo is hypoallergenic and when used properly it is highly unlikely there will be any concern.
Snazaroo products wash off with mild soap and water. For best results, remove with a high quality baby wipe or baby shampoo, water and a wash cloth. Avoid using low cost baby wipes as these can be irritating to young children's skin.
To remove Snazaroo makeup from clothing, wash by hand in cold water using soap or pre-washing agent. Do not try to remove the makeup from clothing in a washing machine. Avoid warm or hot water when trying to remove the paint from clothing. Avoid using near sensitive fabrics like silk that absorb pigments.

LinuxWorld; Oracle PHP Books; NCLOBS
By cj on Aug 09, 2006
Why say one thing when you can say three?
First up, Joel Becker will be standing in for me at my LinuxWorld presentation next week. I'm in the process of getting a work visa for the US, and have been advised to avoid confusing/upsetting the INS by travelling there. Joel and I are working closely on the talk and it's looking good.
Second, Mladen Gogala reports his Easy Oracle PHP book is available for ordering. Yeah! I'll blog about this in detail later.
Finally, Antony merged support for Oracle's NCLOB datatype to PHP 5.2. From an Oracle manual: "NCLOB values are stored in the database in a format that is compatible with UCS-2, regardless of the national character set. Oracle translates the stored Unicode value to the character set requested on the client or on the server, which can be fixed-width or variable-width. When you insert data into an NCLOB column using a variable-width character set, Oracle converts the data into a format that is compatible with UCS-2 before storing it in the database." NCLOBS allow efficient character-based random access.

Remembering Neil Armstrong: Obama Posts a Picture of Obama
Content here to stay updated on the latest from Foster Friess
You have to be impressed by this level of narcissism
A silhouette staring longingly at the crescent moon in the twilight. The sky running the full spectrum of blue. It's simple. Powerful. A beautifully poetic symbol of man's timeless wonder for celestial majesty and the final frontier. (And kind of fitting, since most of Obama's ideas come from outer space. Zing!)
Is there any more appropriate way to honor the life of a good man than by taking a picture of yourself? I really can't think of one. One small step for narcissistic despot. One giant leap for narcissistic despotkind!
PS: Remember when Obama said NASA should focus its efforts on reaching out to Muslims? Sounds like he and Neil Armstrong were really on the same page.

Knocking out the Monuments: Pershing Park
The eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year has become a day we celebrate the sacrifices of all those who have served our nation, from the early days of our country to the present day. But we're going to take a minute on Veterans Day to examine the story of one in particular who is closely tied to the historical antecedents of today: Gen. John J. Pershing.
Situated on Pennsylvania Avenue and 15th Street NW, Pershing Park is remarkably secluded considering its prominent location. It is, in fact, quite easy to walk by and never notice, and even easier to miss if you're driving.
There's a certain irony of this incredibly influential and important man being all but ignored in spite of the august position of his memorial, as it reflects his life quite well. At one point the highest ranking US Army officer ever (George Washington was posthumously promoted over him in 1976), he commanded the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, an incredible logistical undertaking the scope of which we had not yet attempted as a nation. But while names of his protégées; men such as Dwight Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, and George Patton; roll off our tongue, the name Gen. Pershing is often met with a blank face, or an "oh, yeah, him".
However, the sedate nature of this Memorial fits the General. Unlike some of the self-aggrandizing military commanders we've had in our history (ahem, Gen MacArthur, I'm looking at you here), Gen. Pershing stayed out of the limelight, insofar as a commanding general can. Evan in death, he eschewed the frippery of so many others, and is buried under a standard government issue headstone well off the beaten path at Arlington National Cemetery. Try and find him sometime; he's in Section 34 at the top of a small hill, near his two grandsons, one of whom was killed in Vietnam. You will almost certainly have the section to yourself.
While the United States was formally at peace for most of his life, Pershing was generally not. Commissioned as a calvary officer out of West Point in 1886, Pershing spent the first decade of his career in actions in the American West, in the dying conflicts with the Apache, the Lakota Souix, and Cree Indians. Sent back to West Point as an instructor, he became known as Black Jack Pershing, a title that started as a slur and grew to an honor, especially after fighting with the all-black 10th Calvary Regiment at San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War.
Gen. Pershing would go on to participate in the Moro Insurrection in the Philippines and the 1916-7 raid into Mexico to chase Pancho Villa. Appointed to command the AEF in World War I, he is famously and erroneously credited with the phrase, "Lafayette, we are here", signifying America's repayment of our debt to France for the Revolution.
After the War, Gen. Pershing would come back to the United States and serve as Army Chief of Staff for several years. Following his retirement, he served as Chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission, the organization responsible for upkeep of the graves of thousands of Americans interred overseas. A regular feature on the streets of Washington, he ended up living the last few years of his life at Walter Reed Hospital, where the Pershing Suite is named for him.
And so, while we remember all of our veterans on this day, this day was originally known as Armistice Day. Following a worldwide sigh of relief at the ending of hostilities in World War I, many nations picked this day to honor those who fought. Appropriatly enough it was expanded after World War II to Veterans Day, but I find Gen. Pershing's Memorial a perfectly good place to sit in quiet contemplation about the War to End All Wars.
Featuring a statue of the General, the Park is almost walled off from the surrounding traffic by trees and strategically placed walls. Originally designated as Pershing Square in 1957, the General was honored with a bare and trash strewn lot for many years. Grand plans to tear down nearby buildings and build a huge National Plaza fortuitously came to nothing, and the current, more appropriate setting was built in the late '70s. Robert Winthrop White's statue of Pershing holding his field glasses and staring at some distant action was added in 1983. Unfortunately, a main feature of the Memorial, the fountain/ice skating rink, is in a state of almost permanent disrepair. Just across the street stands the Willard Hotel, one of the building once slated for demolition.
Amongst all the other history there, it's the place where Gen. Pershing helped found the Reserve Officers Association in 1921.

As regular readers know, Rehoboth Beach is a nationally renowned location, for the quality of both its lifestyle and its beaches. But it takes a concerted effort to maintain this standard of living here, and this is partly owed to the efforts of the Rehoboth Beach Patrol, the town's dedicated team of qualified and capable lifeguards. Every summer, Rehoboth conducts a series of competitions to not only test the mettle of new Beach Patrol recruits but also crown one of the newcomers as Rookie of the Year. This year's test saw more than a dozen fresh-faced lifeguards pass with flying colors.
The event began on July 7, with a "run-swim-run" contest in the morning followed by a one mile swim in the afternoon. As the Cape Gazette reports, Ryan Kozel claimed victory in the former and Brittany Luzik took gold in the latter.
The competition continued into July 8, beginning with Connor Lingo's win in the 800-meter race, Kozel's repeat in the 200 meter "Soft Sand Sprint," and Lauren Fura taking first in the push-up challenge. But when the more physical events ended, the tricker ones began, including timed underwater breathing and ocean rescue simulations to fill out the rest of the games.
At the close of the two-day endurance competition, the Rehoboth Beach Patrol inducted 14 new members, and honored Lingo – a local from Milford, Delaware – as the 2013 Rookie of the Year, a prize that comes with both bragging rights and a paid day off.
Safety is of the utmost priority for beach-goers in Rehoboth, and the physically proven Beach Patrol helps ensure that. If you'd like to see for yourself and become a part of this community, speak with a Rehoboth Beach realtor today about one of the many incredible housing opportunities now available.

Personalise your news, save articles to read later and customise settings
A headline 'in another place' screamed "I'm more Maroon than Kevin Rudd"...As I said there, sub-editors should not do things like that to me...For a second or two I mistook the word "Maroon" for something else.
He gets loonier every day!!!!
I'm sure he'll be at the state of origin to night wearing a Queensland scaff.
Pick me up off the floor, Phony Tony a Queenslander !!! Check out his birth certificate, think it says, London , England ! He's a £1 pom ! Ha ha ! Doesn't even live in Queensland , get real!!
yeah - almost as ridiculous as Rudd saying he survived Kokoda
Rudd did survive the Kokoda Trail not the second world war kokoda....your'e idiot if you think he meant that.....can't find an ounce of truth in anything Tony is saying lately....he's saying stuuf thats off the planet......must of taken his 'only a whitelie' slogan pills
Actually Jimc, Rudd walked the Kokoda Track and didn't die there, so technically he is a survivor. (Insensitive thing to say, though.) Abbott was neither born nor lives in Queensland.
@Jimc, people die traversing the Kokoda track every year, so I would call it surviving if you made it to the end alive.
Allo guv, I'm a proper Queensland geezer don't ya no ! Bin tryin ta tone down me cockney accent you plonkas coz I'm a bit of a spiv . What I meant to say is I was born in the land of our Queen , just down the frog n toad in actual fact!
From Tony Abbott:I am much more of a Queenslander than Kevin Rudd will ever be."
What the ? Does this mean that the LNP interpretation of being a "Queenslander" reflects a certain conservative right wing state of mind?

The Tournament
• UC Irvine will host the 54-hole UC Irvine Invitational presented by Kia.
• The winner of the UC Irvine Invitational will receive a sponsor exemption in to the 2014 Kia Classic (March 27-30) at Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, Calif.

The Field
• The tournament field includes No. 5 Stanford, No. 11 Pepperdine, Texas A&M, UC Davis, UC Riverside, Hawaii, Nevada, Portland State, San Francisco, Long Beach State, Gonzaga, Idaho and host UC Irvine.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D V-Ray for Rhino Materials? Rendering Advice? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60819&th=12562#msg_60819 <![CDATA[Hi all.

 I just finalized some models and would like to start throwing newer stuff into my shop and have been messing around with V-Ray in Rhino to create some nice looking renders of my models to display with the actual photos. I definitely don't feel like setting up studio rendering environments is anywhere near as intuitive to me as the actual modeling, but I'm slowly figuring it out. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for instructional resources to create a studio environment in V-Ray for Rhino. I have been able to find some videos on Youtube and what-not, but most of them are for outdoor architectural renderings. The renderings on my current items were done with some defaults in Solidworks and I like the way they look, but I don't use Solidworks any more and no longer have it on my computer to use. I haven't been able to get anything that looks that well in V-Ray.

 I was also wondering if anyone has built any good materials for V-Ray that they would be willing to share. Perhaps ones similar to the materials that Shapeways offers. Building materials seems even more complicated to me than setting up the lighting. Advice is appreciated as well.

 Thanks!]]> eNonsense 2013-01-26T01:32:34-00:00

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
at Stanford 45, Arizona State 35 (Stanford, CA - Stanford Stadium)
October 22, 2005
"Obviously we're excited about winning. We have a lot of areas in which we need to improve. We got way ahead and that affected our play calling. We were conservative. I'm really proud of our players. It was great to see our special teams because of our punts. Our quarterback played well also. If we give him some time he has a chance to be good. We gave him protection today, and he's good enough to do it. Every game is a hard game. We did not turn the ball over today. When you don't cheat yourself you have a good chance every week. This is the third game in a row that we haven't turned the ball over. We [the coaches] are not satisfied with anything but their best efforts."
"It was a big win for us. It took defense, offense and special teams today. A lot of the outside routes were open today. Mark Bradford was open a lot last week, so we took a little more emphasis looking for him this week. When you get the ball in his hands, there really aren't a lot of defenses that can stop him [Bradford]. Mark was able to adjust to most plays. It was a great win for us offensively. Coach Harris has done so much with this team, and you'll see the evidence of that soon. I'm amazed how much we are on the same page during his play calling. The change of attitude comes from the head coach, and he's allowing us to buy into the system. The seniors have stepped up and made a lot of big plays for us. This win is a credit to the way the seniors have been leading and how Coach Harris is helping them step up."
On motivation
"The last two games we haven't shown up to play. We have to become a more disciplined football team. Motivation on our football team falls on two groups of people: the coaches and the leaders."
On the rollout punt before halftime
"It was a set play. He ran too far. He was back 15 yards, and he ran 17 yards. It was a good call by the officials."
On game preparation
"I wish I knew. I'm at a loss as to why (we lost). I thought we were well prepared. For two and a half quarters we had no emotion.
On the quarterback switch
"Sam (Keller) was just holding the ball a little too long. Our problems today were not the fault of Sam Keller. We had plenty of problems. It's a tough situation where your starting quarterback is coming back from three different injuries. I didn't feel like we could deprive Sam from being the starting quarterback after all his hard work to come back. When we made the switch it was meant as no disrespect to Sam. We were just looking for a spark."
On Mike Silva's interception and touchdown
"I didn't see him until late. You can't throw a slant late."
On replacing starter Sam Keller
"I practice everyday as if I'm going to play. Today I got my opportunity and I did the best I could ,but I still made lots of mistakes like everybody else. I just tried to relax and go out there and do what I do."
On ASU's defeat
"My emotions aren't mixed at all. I'm frustrated that we lost. I put in as much hard work as these guys did, and it's frustrating when you come out here and lose, especially the way that we did."

Cut to the Bone in a Budget Crisis
Cut to the Bone in a Budget Crisis
The University of Louisville has absorbed nine state budget cuts in nine years totaling $106 million. To mitigate the impact of those cuts, the university recouped more than $95 million in cost savings and avoidances over that same time period. Some of these savings are detailed below:
- $3 million (recurring) in energy efficiencies identified in a partnership with Siemens Building Technologies
- $1.058 million (recurring) by refinancing long-term debt at more favorable interest rates
- $1.2 million (recurring) by implementing an in-house digital telephone system
- $2 million (recurring) by implementing an eProcurement purchasing system for goods and services
- $30,000 (recurring) by reducing window cleaning to every two years
- $2,000 (recurring) by installing power misers on vending machines that power down during off-peak hours
So what is the problem? As we continue to make major cuts, we limit our ability to flourish. We also move further away from our HB1 mandate—to be Kentucky's premier metropolitan research university.
So what is the solution? We will continue to be accountable and good stewards of the dollars entrusted to us. But that is not enough. The legislature must find new revenue sources to ensure that the state's postsecondary educational system is not in jeopardy.
With additional state support, higher education can be accessible to all Kentuckians and a key to driving economic recovery.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Bud Smith sat in the St. Louis dugout and
talked hitting with Mark McGwire.
Nothing unusual about that. Except Smith, a 21-year-old rookie,
was three outs away from a no-hitter.
"We've got no room down there because of the September
callups," Smith said. "So I was sitting next to Big Mac talking
about hitting so it would take my mind off the no-hitter."
Ignoring baseball superstition, Smith became the 16th rookie in
modern history and the 18th since 1900 to throw a no-hitter, beating San Diego 4-0 in the
second unlikely no-no against the Padres this season.
Although he admitted that he was nervous, Smith looked as poised
as a veteran.
"I was shaking out there knowing that I was going for a
no-hitter. I was going on adrenaline," Smith said.
Smith was in the right place for an unexpected no-hitter. His
mother, stepfather and 14 other immediate family members were at
the game, plus 10 high school buddies.
"I started thinking about the no-hitter about the sixth or
seventh inning," Smith said. "I knew I had the stuff to do it."
Smith, making his 11th career start, became the first rookie to
throw a no-hitter since the Cardinals' Jose Jimenez did it in a 1-0
win against Arizona on June 25, 1999.
He ended it by fielding Phil Nevin's hard comebacker, pumping
his fist and running halfway to first base before flipping to
Albert Pujols for the final out.
"I threw him a changeup and he hit it right to me, but I didn't
know I had the ball. When I felt it in my glove, I wanted to run it
over to first base before I threw it to make sure it would get
Smith and Pujols hugged, then the pitcher was mobbed by the rest
of his teammates.
This was the first time Smith pitched beyond the seventh inning.
He walked four -- including all-time walks leader Rickey Henderson
twice -- and struck out seven.
The Padres are the first team since the 1996 Colorado Rockies to
be no-hit twice in one season. Florida's A.J. Burnett walked a
record nine batters in his 3-0 no-hitter in San Diego on May 12.
Smith relies on location with his fastball and curve, and his
fastball topped out at about 86 mph. He seemed to tire in the
ninth, going to three-ball counts twice, but continued to keep the
Padres hitless.
After his conversation with McGwire -- an unusual occurrence when
a pitcher is flirting with a no-hitter -- Smith retired Henderson to
open the ninth.
Smith then walked D'Angelo Jimenez, before shortstop Edgar Renteria made a nice backhand pickup on Ryan Klesko's grounder for
the second out. Smith completed the job on a 2-1 pitch to Nevin.
Smith, who threw two seven-inning no-hitters in the minors last
season, did it in the majors one night after the New York Yankees'
Mike Mussina fell one strike shy of pitching a perfect game against
It was St. Louis' ninth no-hitter. The Padres still don't have a
no-hitter since they started play in 1969.
Not even eight-time NL batting champion Tony Gwynn could hit
Smith. Gwynn, reduced to pinch-hitting in his 20th and final season
because of bad knees, grounded out to shortstop for the second out
in the eighth.
Smith was asked when he got nervous.
"When they sent up Mr. Gwynn. He's the only guy I didn't go
over the scouting report for because I didn't think I would face
him," he said. "I just threw it down the middle to see what he
would do with it.
When Gwynn came to the plate, catcher Eli Marrero thought:
"Here goes the no-hitter. He had the crowd behind him. He hit it
good, but Edgar was in the right spot."
The Padres twice came close to getting a hit. Jimenez hit a line
drive to Renteria to end the third, and Bubba Trammell hit a fly
ball to the warning track in left-center for the second out in the
"This is special. I feel great right now," Smith said.
Smith was hammered last week in a start against the Padres,
allowing seven runs -- five earned -- and five hits in 3 1/3 innings.
But he was unhittable in the rematch.
"You have to give him credit," Klesko said. "We beat up on
him pretty good last time, and he came in and did this."
Smith threw the third no-hitter this season, joining Boston's
Hideo Nomo, who did it on April 4 against Baltimore, and Burnett.
Exactly two weeks after Burnett's no-hitter, Arizona's Curt Schilling took a perfect game into the eighth before San Diego's
Ben Davis sparked a controversy when he bunted for a single with
one out in the eighth.
On July 19, Randy Johnson held the Padres hitless for 7 2/3
innings before Wiki Gonzalez hit an opposite-field single to right.
On Sunday, Johnson held the Padres without a hit until Nevin
singled with two outs in the sixth.
Bobby Jones (8-17) became the first 17-game loser in the majors
this season, allowing four runs -- three earned -- and seven hits in
6 2-3 innings. He is three losses short of becoming the majors'
first 20-game loser since Brian Kingman of Oakland in 1980.
Pujols hit a two-run homer in the first inning. Placido Polanco
went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and scored once for San Diego.
Game notes
Smith was 0-2 in his previous six starts since beating the
Chicago Cubs on July 26. ... Jones was also knocked out early when
he faced Smith last Wednesday. He gave up nine runs -- four earned --
and seven hits in 1 2-3 innings. ... Florida's Al Leiter and Nomo
for Los Angeles pitched the no-hitters against Colorado in 1996.

The victim of a crash on the disputed Beech Bend Road in 2004, sues Warren County road officials and Beech Bend Park owner Dallas Jones for her injuries.

Sun Comes Up
I'm leaving Manhattan
I'm leaving today
I can't help but want to dance all night
I felt a little lonely
Not a star up in the sky
I wonder why
The sun comes up
The sun goes down
The sun comes up
The sun goes down
And I feel the day is better spent with you
Looking at the butterflies
How wonderful your eyes
Don't ask me why I'm crying
As soon as I draw the window shade
I've seen another dying day
I am blown away
Sun comes up
Sun goes down
Sun comes up
Sun goes down
Sun comes up
Sun goes down
Down down down

One of East Carolina's top pitching performances of the season came against No. 19 Southern Miss at the 2011 Conference USA Baseball Championships in Pearl, Miss. Senior Seth Maness (9-3) tossed his sixth career complete game (fourth of the season) in a two-hit shutout against the Golden Eagles.
Maness, who struck out nine on the night, sat down the first eight batters he faced before giving up a two-out single in the third. He pitched his way out of a two-on, nobody-out jam in the fourth with a fielders' choice ground ball and an inning-ending double play to start a streak of five consecutive batters retired.
After a leadoff double by Southern Miss' Justin Diliberto - the same guy who broke-up the no-hit bid back in the third - Maness tallied six consecutive outs and issued his lone walk of the day to Mark Ellis to open the eighth. That would be the final Golden Eagle to reach base safely as Maness sandwiched a pair of punch-outs around a fielders' choice groundout in the eighth and tossed a three-up, three-down ninth to wrap up his fourth complete game of the season and put the stamp on his second shutout of the year.
Maness' punch-out total gave him 330 for his career which tied the ECU record established by Larry Crayton from 1959-61. The decision was his 37th win, as Maness moved into second place on the C-USA all-time victory list - one shy of Jared Berkowitz of Tulane's 38 from 1997-2000. During his four-year career, Maness posted a 24-5 ledger against C-USA teams with a 3.39 ERA, 179 strikeouts and 45 walks.
ECU right fielder Philip Clark went 3-for-5 with a double and a pair of RBI to lead the Pirates' offensive efforts. The game, however, belonged to Maness as the senior right-hander faced just four more than the minimum and never saw more than four Golden Eagle hitters in any inning.
Southern Miss starter Josh Thomason matched Maness step-for-step over the first four innings, but the Pirate offense got things going in the top of the fifth when Mike Ussery hit a one-out single up the middle and came around to score on a double down the left field line by Clark in the ensuing at-bat. Corey Thompson followed with an RBI-since to right central to make it 2-0.
Two innings later, John Wooten opened the seventh with a single, advanced the bases on a Jack Reinheimer sacrifice bunt and a groundout by Ussery, and scored on a Clark RBI-single to stretch the lead to three. Golden Eagles reliever Dillon Day nearly posted a perfect eighth by retiring the first two batters he faced and getting Fultz to strikeout swinging. The pitch, however, sailed wide of catcher Jared Bales, and the Pirates made the miscue hurt as designated hitter Chase McDonald smoked a 1-0 offering from Day into right centerfield to account for the final score.
Thomason (2-2) was saddled with the loss after giving up three runs on 10 hits while striking out three in a 7.0-inning start. Diliberto had two of the Golden Eagles' three hit hits.
