Biblical Hermeneutics
Biblical Hermeneutics
A Comprehensive Introduction to Interpreting Scripture
B&H Publishing Group, Paperback, 9780805424928, 525pp.
Publication Date: April 15, 2002
"Biblical Hermeneutics" is a textbook for introductory courses in hermeneutics. I takes an interdisciplinary approach that is both balanced and practical with six major foci: the history of biblical interpretation, philosophical presuppositions, biblical genre, the uniqueness of Scripture, the practice of exegesis, and use of exegetical insights that will be lived and communicated in preaching and teaching.
"Biblical Hermeneutics" is designed for students who have little or no knowledge of biblical interpretation. It provides, in one volume, resources for gaining a working knowledge of the multi-faceted nature of biblical interpretation and for supporting the practice of exegesis on the part of the student. The first chapter "A Student's Primer for Exegesis" by Bruce Corley gives the student a bird's eye view of the entire process. It becomes for the student a kind of template to which they will return again and again as they engage in the process of exegesis.
This revised edition of "Biblical Hermeneutics" contains seven new chapter that deal with the major literary genre of Scripture: law, narrative, poetry, wisdom, prophecy, Gospels and Acts, epistles, and apocalyptic. The unique nature of Scripture is presented in part three that addresses the authority, inspiration, and language of Scripture. The book contains two extensive appendices, "A Student's Glossary for Biblical Studies" and an updated and expanded version of "A Student's Guide to Reference Books and Biblical Commentaries.
Lovejoy is associate professor of preaching at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Friday, September 25th was a historic day at The Partnership for Inner City Education when the Holy Father, Pope Francis, visited Our Lady Queen of Angels school.
Shining a bright light on urban Catholic education, the Pontiff's visit crystallized and validated the importance of The Partnership's work. His presence was simultaneously humbling and inspiring and we remain exceedingly grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Click here to see a gallery of pictures from the visit and here for an overview of media coverage.
For media inquiries, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 646 794 3349.
The Partnership signs historic agreement with Archdiocese of NY to manage a set of six pre-k through 8th grade inner-city schools.
The Partnership network includes six inner-city pre-K through 8th Catholic grade schools in the south Bronx and Harlem.
For more information on who we are and how we work, please see our frequently asked questions.

T.I. said that he is leasing a new 4 bedroom house in Atlanta because it's "closer to work". That's complete bullcrap to me. I think it makes it extremely obvious that him and his wife are going through some tough times, and T.I. wants a house that he can bring women back to and have his way with them.

Product Description
Quill & Quire
The young girl who narrates Grandma's Gloves enjoys spending time with her grandmother, an avid gardener. Together they water the flowers and tend the garden, then drink tea and eat cookies or homemade doughnuts. Her narration lingers on the sights, smells, and sensations of these visits.
When Grandma dies, the granddaughter is bereft. No one seems interested in Grandma's plants – except the narrator, who carefully waters the garden wearing her grandmother's gardening gloves. It is only when she asks her mother if they can plant a garden together that she finds some solace. She will teach her mother everything that Grandma taught her.
Grandma's Gloves is former Montrealer Cecil Castellucci's first book for young children, following several successes (Beige, The Queen of Cool, The Plain Janes) in the YA field. Judging by her author's note, the story is drawn at least partly from Castellucci's own experience. Children who are grieving will relate to the unnamed protagonist's feelings.
The book's execution, however, is not entirely satisfying. Perhaps Castellucci was a little too close to her subject matter – sentiment at times overwhelms the text. Loneliness, too: this small child seems to feel she alone must carry on her grandmother's legacy by teaching her own mother to nurture – a heavy burden for one so young.
On the positive side, Bostonian Julie Denos's watercolour-and-pencil images are bright and cheerful, as if washed in sunlight. They help dispel some of the heaviness of the subject matter, but like the narrator, they should not have to bear the load all on their own.
About the Author
Cecil Castellucci is the author of many acclaimed books for older readers, including Boy Proof, The Queen of Cool, and Beige. This is her first picture book. She lives in Los Angeles.
Julia Denos earned a BFA in illustration from The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. She lives outside of Boston.
Customer Reviews

The artwork is incredible; it looks like a mix of water colors, pen and ink, and pencil. The tenderness between child and adult displayed with both words and pictures is enthralling. This will be a book we will treasure together for years to come and so will you.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
This book along with a pair of gardening gloves would make a perfect gift for a child who has lost their grandparent.
I have found using a book as therapy is most helpful to the young child in understanding and coping with life's difficulties.
I read many books from the library and this one fit my friend, as she loved to garden.

Halftime thoughts: KU fighting back
Kansas responded by running off nine straight points after Baylor's largest lead, pulling back within four on Tyshawn Taylor's 3 with three seconds left in the half.
The Jayhawks did a nice job on LaceDarius Dunn and Curtis Jerrells in the final six minutes of the half after the quick Baylor backcourt had blistered the Jayhawks with five 3-pointers early in the game. Dunn scored 11 and Jerrells added 10, but both were shut out during Kansas' late first-half run.
Taylor has made himself a force with a team-high 10 points at the half.
If the Bears are to have any chance to make the lead stand up, they must do a better job in the paint and on the boards. Kansas center Cole Aldrich has imposed his will inside with six points and eight rebounds. The Jayhawks have an 18-14 edge on points in the paint and a 19-12 rebounding advantage, including eight offensive carom rebounds.
A loss in Thursday's game might end up costing the Jayhawks a line or two when the pairings are announced on Sunday. If they lose, they could drop to around a 4-seed.

Yes, Worms Do Eat My Garbage
Especially for urban gardeners like me who live in small spaces, worm composting (also called vermicomposting) is a productive, fun and doable way to divert biodegradable kitchen scraps away from a landfill and back into the soil in my garden, or on to my indoor plants as a top dressing.
In my basement I use a 10-gallon Rubbermaid container to house my Red Wriggler worms that eat my garbage to produce their personal brand of homemade organic fertilizer.
I first dug into this green practice by googling The Chicago Home Composting Program brochure. I have further cultivated it with a few other sources:
A popular book: Worms Eat My Garbage and article by Mary Appelhof, an educational resource (for teaching kids) and by locating an online worm supplier:
Currently, my home worm composting operation still consists of that container. It was purchased from a big box store when three years ago I took a composting class at Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago.
Since then, I have discovered that some vermicomposters actually build their own bins, or buy fancier ones online. Regardless how you start worm composting, your bin must be at least ten to sixteen inches deep, have holes or slits on the side or top for worm aeration, and include a tight fitting top to keep the worms in and pests out.
Initially I started by filling the bin about half of the way up with strips of shredded newspaper (no glossy pages, please), and used a spray bottle to dampen the bedding -- which they also eat -- to the consistency of a wrung-out sponge.
Next, I added a couple of handfuls of microbial-rich garden soil, dropped in about 1 pound of Red Wriggler worms into the bedding (about 1,000 worms), and then I served (buried) their first meal…about one quart of veggie peels, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, things like that.
Without a doubt, they quickly went to work eating the scraps, making more worms, and expelling their castings, which is the super-rich organic fertilizer they produce, and I use on my tomatoes and other plants.
So, year-round my worms are in a dark corner in my basement working away, where I know that in their bin they will not freeze in the winter, over-heat in the summer, and won't become over-saturated or emaciated because they are on my watch.
About every three months I harvest the worm compost, which is what we all call "gardener's gold." I first spend a couple of weeks migrating the critters from one side of the bin (dirty) to the other (fresh fixings).
Then, I hand pick out the stragglers. I drop them into their clean new digs, where their friends, who are already hard at work eating kitchen scraps and expelling new castings. I'll harvest that compost next time around.
Recently, I invited over a few of my neighborhood buds for "The Big Worm Migration" in Deb's Big Backyard. Join us

Try putting some watermelon rinds in the worm bin. The critter will devour it and leave jsu the paper thin remains of the rind. I tried hand picking the red wigglers one year and after too many hours; decided to go with topping the soil with a window screen and fresh dirt. Placing a couple of melon rinds on top of the new soil will get the worms moving in mass through the screening while leaving behind their enriched and now vacant former habitiat. Really amazing how much kitchen waste worms are able to consume.

Deb, we have composted in our back yard in Oak Park for years! We built a wood bin (10' x 3') with three stalls, and use one stall per year while the other two are churned by worms. This is very doable in Oak Park, and Triton college has some really great intro horticulture classes.

It's like Christmas in Memphis, except not really, because the Grizzlies aren't playing on Christmas Day.
Regardless, the NBA schedule was released in full Wednesday afternoon and, indeed, the Grizzlies will play 82 games next season in a slate that features 29 other teams in both home and road contests.
In all seriousness, there are a few immediately noticeable quirks — that's a generous term — to the Grizzlies' schedule. For one, six of their first eight games are on the road. They open at home against the Cavaliers on Oct. 28 and shortly after will embark on a five-game West Coast road trip that features games against the defending champion Warriors, Kosta Koufos and the Kings, Portland, Utah, and the Matt Barnes-less Clippers.
The Grizzlies finish their regular-season schedule on the road four out of the last seven games. The home games during that stretch are against Toronto, Chicago, and Golden State. Not exactly a cake-walk.
In a development that should placate Memphians, the Grizzlies have 19 national television games. Most are on NBATV, but take what you can get, right?
Other games of note:
— The opener, obviously, against LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
— Golden State at home on Nov. 11. The much-anticipated Tony Allen rubber match against Andrew Bogut.
— Oklahoma City at home on Nov. 16. When Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook come to town, it's must-see TV.
— Houston at home Nov. 20. Perhaps James Harden's mother will be in attendance.
— San Antonio at home Dec. 3. Because Spurs.
— New Orleans at home on MLK Day (Jan. 18). It's always a special event and the league made good this season by putting this game on ESPN as opposed to NBATV.
— Clippers at home March 19. The Matt Barnes reunion game.
— Chicago at home April 5. Marc Gasol vs. big brother and Derrick Rose (hopefully) makes his return to Memphis.

About Rufus Wainwright
A singer/songwriter whose lush, theatrical pop harked back to the traditions of Tin Pan Alley, cabaret, and even opera, Rufus Wainwright was born in 1973; the son of folk music luminaries Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, his parents divorced while he was a child, and he was raised by his mother in Montreal. Beginning his piano studies at age six, by 13 he was touring with his mother, aunt Anna, and his sister Martha in a group billed as the McGarrigle Sisters and Family; a year later, Wainwright was nominated for a Juno (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy) as Most Promising Young Artist, while his "I'm A-Runnin'" was concurrently nominated for a Genie (the Canadian counterpart to an Oscar) for Best Song in a Film.
Coming out as a homosexual while still in his teens, Wainwright sought solace in opera throughout his adolescent years, also becoming an enormous fan of performers including Edith Piaf, Al Jolson, and Judy Garland. After attending the prestigious Millbrook School in upstate New York, he briefly studied music at Montreal's McGill University, eventually turning away from classical performance toward pop and rock. Becoming a fixture on the Montreal club circuit, Wainwright soon cut a series of demos with producer Pierre Marchand; Loudon Wainwright III then passed a copy of the tape to friend Van Dyke Parks, who in turn handed it on to DreamWorks exec Lenny Waronker. The label signed him soon after, resulting in the release of Rufus Wainwright during the spring of 1998. The album landed on several critics' "Best of 1998" lists, while Wainwright spent the next few years touring and appearing sporadically on soundtracks (Shrek) and compilations (The McGarrigle Hour). His sophomore album, Poses, brought similar acclaim in mid-2001.
After spending much of 2001 and 2002 touring on his own and with Tori Amos, Wainwright settled into Bearsville Studio in Woodstock, New York with producer Marius de Vries to record sort of a double album. The first project, Want One, was released in September 2003, with Want Two following a year later. In 2007, he released both Release the Stars and Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall, a restaging of Garland's legendary Judy at Carnegie Hall performance from 1961. In 2010, Wainwright delivered his sixth studio album, the stripped-down All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu, a 12-track, Shakespeare-influenced collection of new material that relied almost solely on the artist's voice and piano. The following year, the musician embarked on his seventh album with the intention of returning to the ornate pop of his early days. The resulting Out of the Game, which was produced by Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Duran Duran), arrived in May 2012. It was followed by the concert album Live from the Artist's Den and the compilation Vibrate: The Best of Rufus Wainwright, both in 2014. A recording of his 2009 debut opera, the French-language Prima Donna, was released by Deutsche Grammophon in 2015. The label also put out his next studio album, Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets, the following spring. Three of the musical sonnets had appeared on Songs for Lulu but were reworked for Take All My Loves, which commemorated the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death. Guests on the album included Helena Bonham Carter, Carrie Fisher, William Shatner, Martha Wainwright, and Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, among several other actors and musicians as well as the BBC Symphony Orchestra. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

I think they are not. They can't be exactly interchangeable, otherwise one of them would sooner or later die out.
In Oxford Advanced Learner's Online Dictionary the verb "cleanse" has 2 meanings, whereas the verb "clean" has 4. It entails that clean is more than cleanse, it means it's used in a wide variety of contexts. The primary meaning of clean is "to make something free from dirt or dust by washing or rubbing it", whereas that of cleanse is "to clean your skin or wound". So, it can relatively be stated that cleanse is 'narrower' than clean.
As for its being formal, at first blush, cleanse does sound more formal. However, I think the difference lies in meaning, not in register.
They literally mean the same thing but there are connotations that differ. Clean means something more immediate and superficial. Cleanse means a deeper more thorough cleaning, often a complete cleaning; e.g. I will clean the garage but I am cleansing the house of every speck of dirt.
Another difference is that clean is almost always used literally but cleanse is often used figuratively as in cleansing your soul or ethnic cleansing.
These items I have mentioned are not hard and fast rules. You will see them occasionally used exactly opposite from my description, but I believe these are the more common ways of using these words.

This book is a large sandwich of fascinating magickal theory and hands-on practice. It's a fun read in itself, but is packed with useful rituals and meditations. Once the primer Qabalah is out of the way in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 is the centerpiece Equilibrating Ritual of the Pentagram which you will use for pretty much the rest of the book. With those prerequisites out of the way, things really take off in Chapter 4, with hands on talisman making. By Chapter 8 I was enthralled by the author's bizarre relationship with his wife and demon! Intense. Fun book to read even if you don't practice, but very nearly a bible for practicing occultists. Covers not just magick but also some Wicca,shamanism, and chaos magick as well.
This is a solid introduction to occult Magick for beginners and a great all-purpose manual for intermediate and expert users of magick. I liked the easy-to-follow instructions and detailed answers to a myriad of questions, that I wasn't afraid to ask, per se, but certainly was curious about.
Im not completely finished reading it, but this is one amazing book. Blessing to my Devine Izabael and especially you Shawn for writting it. xoxo The Lite Worker

When Yankees starters depart early, that's when David Phelps shines.
The starter/reliever made a name for himself last year by pitching great in mop-up duty, and he was at it again on Saturday by throwing four scoreless innings in relief of Phil Hughes in the Yankees' 5-3 loss to Baltimore. Phelps entered in the fourth inning with the Yankees down 5-2 and allowed the Yankees to attempt a comeback by striking out six and giving up just one hit.
David Phelps
New York Yankees
After the game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said there are no plans to move Phelps into the rotation at the moment, despite the slow starts by Hughes and Ivan Nova. Phelps, who entered spring training hoping to win a spot in the rotation, had no problems staying in his current role.
I'm happy with where I'm at. Just help this team in whatever role it can be," Phelps said. "I'm not out here hoping our starters don't do well. I want to win games regardless of what my role is. I have faith in them that they're going to go out, we've all had rough outings. Our guys usually have more good ones than bad one. Just go out and do my job and let it take care of itself."
After allowing runs in each of his first two outings, Phelps, who started 11 games for the Yankees last year, had by far his best performance of the year. He worked quick and kept Baltimore at bay while the Yankees tried to rally.
"I felt like I came out and I was throwing strikes and got some early outs, which really helped me," Phelps said. "My curveball was the best it's been all year, even in spring training. That's the pitch I need to do well. "
NEW ALIGNMENT: For the first time as a Yankee, Robinson Cano got to feel what it's like to be Derek Jeter and man the other side of second base.
"Weird," Cano said of playing shortstop for the first time in the big leagues. "I knew that the situation, we needed a guy there. Whatever it takes to help the team."
Due to a depleted roster, Cano had to play shortstop and catcher Francisco Cervelli moved to second base in the ninth inning Saturday. Cano had last played shortstop in 2003, when he was with Triple-A Trenton, while Cervelli previously played second base on July 31, 2011.
"I love to catch but that situation I'm going to do what the manager says," Cervelli said. "I put my chest if needed to block a ball or catch a groundball."
Cano said he last took grounders at short during spring training, while Cervelli often takes infield practice. The Yankees ran out of position players because Eduardo Nunez was not available due to a right wrist contusion, and shortstop Jayson Nix was pinch-hit for in the eighth as Girardi sent up Brennan Boesch with the Yankees down 5-3 with two on and two outs. Boesch struck out.
While neither player had a ball hit their way, Cano was confident he could have made a play.
"If they hit me ground balls, I was ready," he said.

You never know what or where someone else has been or been through so if you don't walk a mile in their shoes, WEAR your own. The focus should be on your own life and come up.

This invention relates to a couch for reliably reclining a completely or partially anesthesized patient, without compression sites or strains, to be used for instance in the contactless nonevasive comminution of kidney stones or renal calculi by means of acoustic shock waves.
The procedure of comminuting kidney stones, shock waves are generated by igniting an underwater spark gap and are focused by a reflector and guided into the body of the patient where they comminute the calculus (U.S. Pat. No. 3,942,531). To be capable of coupling and decoupling the shock waves in an injury-free manner, the body of the patient is supported in a tub filled with degassed water. The renal calculus is located by X-rays. The patient must be positioned precisely so that the calculus is located exactly at the focus of the spatially stationary shock wave reflector, and the body must be maintained in this position for a substantial period of time. The patient is completely or partially anesthesized during the shock wave treatment.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a couch permitting to so position a completely or partially anesthesized patient within a tub that a specific point of his body--for instance a renal calculus or a kidney stone--can be retained for a substantial period of time in a given spatial location (second focus of an ellipsoid). Compression sites that would block blood circulation must be avoided. Due to the extended time of proneness, such compression sites might cause numbness of body parts. Again, straining of body parts must be avoided during anesthesia. Even very short-term strains, as are incurred for instance in sports, can be painful. This applies even more so to stresses of longer duration.
The present invention is based on the recognition that the human body must be supported only at the shoulder and the legs in order to achieve a reliable positioning. Surprisingly, it was found that an anesthesized slack body will not sag or droop through the "hole" between the shoulder rest and the leg rests, whether in air or in water. This result is achieved by means of an intense corresponding array of shoulder supports, thigh and lower-leg pans. The body is made to assume a kind of double prismatic position. The trunk and the thighs rest in a V-shaped "groove", and the thighs and the lower legs on a "prismatic" guide.
Contrary to possible expectations, the hollow-back position desired for treatment is not obtained by increased support in the hip region, rather surprisingly the shoulder support of the invention together with fixation of the arm next to the head suffices, with all of the back area below the shoulder and as far as the buttocks being freely accessible and unsupported.
The invention offers the following advantages:
it is suitable for all ordinary adult statures,
it offers free accessibility to the trunk, especially near the kidneys,
the patient is solidly supported in places but without compression points and strap-induced strains,
it is suited also for completely anesthesized patients, and
it provides for simple changeover for treating the right or left kidney.
Patient couches with the features of the present invention can be implemented in many embodiments. When using a tub, the support surfaces are advantageously secured from above to support posts. Many ways are offered to the designer to carry out the options of the present invention with respect to the securing means and the guidance of the support surfaces.
The invention will be further illustrated by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of the couch,
FIG. 2 is a detail from FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 is a top view of the couch.
FIG. 1 is a side view in elevation of a couch according to the invention. A crane, not shown, is provided with a fork joint 3 bearing pivotal about the axis 2 and liftable along the axis 2 in the manner indicated by the arrows 2a and 2b. A support beam 1 is supported at its center and is pivoted and locked in position about the axis 4. This beam is 1 secured to the fork joint 3, and terminates in the two hinges or pivots 5 and 6. The two hinges 5 and 6 assume two positions being offset by 180�.
A shoulder support 11 being locked in position and rotatable about the axis 10 by means of the articulation 9 is secured to the hinge 5 by an essentially U-shaped support post 8 which is rotatable about the axis 7. The shoulder support 11 is of symmetrical construction and is provided on the underside thereof, to the left and to the right of the axis of rotation 10, in each case with three guides 12. On one side (right in FIG. 1) of these guides, a head rest 13 and two arm rests 14 are so inserted and locked in place that the lower arms lie next to the head (a hands-up position).
A cross-beam 17 containing two parallel, longitudinal guides 18 is secured to the hinge 6 by means of an essentially L-shaped, second support post 16, rotatable about the axis 15. Longitudinally displaceable and locking rails 19 supporting the foot portion of the structure are contained within these guides. The rails 19 are connected by two cross bars 20. The articulations 21 rotatably holding four pan supports 22 pivotal about the axis 23 are located above the rail center. The inclination of the pan support 22 is determined by the length of the spindles 24 arranged cross-wise in each case between a cross bar 20 and the opposite pan support 22. A thigh pan 25 or a lower leg pan 26 is mounted to each pan support 22.
FIG. 2 shows two pans 25 or 26 as seen in the A direction (FIG. 1). The pan 26 as well as the pan 25 can be tipped in the articulations 27 about the axis 28 (right-hand partial view) or it can be locked in the neutral position--untipped--(left-hand partial view). The pan shown on the right additionally is raised a slight amount.
FIG. 3 is a top view of the couch of FIG. 1. In addition to the components cited in the description relating to FIG. 1, a strap system, 29 through 33, is shown here. This system is provided to secure the body in place and to counteract the buoyancy in the water-filled tub. The arrangement of the arm rests 14 next to the head results in a hollow-back position of the patient. This position facilitates locating the renal calculus or kidney stone by means of X-ray.
Moreover, the off-center arrangement of the beam 1 with respect to the longitudinal axis of the couch should be noted. This asymmetric suspension serves the purpose of better accessibility of the kidney for location and treatment in the tub. The couch shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is set up for treating the right kidney. Conversion for treating the left kidney is possible and quickly carried out. The straps 31 are detached, the rest areas 13 for the head, the rests 14 for the arms, and the rests 25 and 26 for the legs are removed, the support post 8 and with it the shoulder support 11 is rotated by 180� about the axis 7 (arrow of FIG. 3), the support post 16 and with it the foot portion is rotated by 180� about the axis 15 (arrow of FIG. 3), and the removed components 13, 14, 25, 26 are plugged in again.
The patient must assume a position slightly to the side for the purpose of locating the kidney calculus and to comminute it. This slight sideways position is achieved by the unilateral raising of one leg pan. Due to the ensuing rotation of the body, all four leg pans 25, 26 will tip, resulting in an advantageous position of the legs. The automatic tipping of the pans prevents compression sites or blood stasis in the anesthesized patient.
Because of its manifold settings (arrows of FIG. 1), the couch can be adjusted precisely to the size and body of the particular patient. This is carried out for instance by a dry run in the unanesthesized state with the corresponding recording of the spindle, joint, and articulation settings so that the optimal settings can be reproduced at the time of treatment. In this manner compression sites are eliminated and no strains result from the straps.
The couch also can be used to anatomically properly place or keep in place those with spinal injuries, or for transverse paralysis.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that many modifications may be made within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit thereof, and the invention includes all such modifications.

NASCAR fans have been hearing the sounds of Comic Book Heroes all season long during ESPN's coverage of the Nationwide Series, and this weekend the band will be performing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Race fans attending the NASCAR festivities in Loudon, N.H., who see the band Saturday and Sunday will recognize the hard-driving sound of their single "Move Out of the Way," which has been the featured song on ESPN's Nationwide Series broadcasts.
Video footage of the band performing will be part of the 35 Nationwide races broadcast by ESPN. And six original CBH songs will be featured on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC.
"To tell the truth, until last fall, when we got to go to our first NASCAR race, none of us really paid much attention to racing," bassist Steve Kowalski recently wrote in a blog on CBH's MySpace page. "Since then, we've really gotten into it -- starting with the speed! Since a main element of NASCAR is driving cars very fast and skillfully and as four teenaged boys we obviously have an inherent interest in that and all the similarities that racing shares with music -- like excitement that the fans bring to racing."
Kowalski and his bandmates Collin MacGregor (drums), Ned Goldman (vocals, guitar) and Steve Kosciusko (guitar, vocals) are high school seniors based in Wyomissing, Pa., who formed CBH when they were 11. They self-released their first EP in March 2006 when they were in seventh grade and their current EP, "Take a Seat" was released in 2008.
Here are the Comic Book Heroes songs being featured this year on ESPN's NASCAR Nationwide Series programming:
- "Move Out of the Way" from the album "Take A Seat" (iTunes | Amazon)
- "Catch Me if You Can" from the album "Take A Seat" (iTunes | Amazon)
- "Wide Open" from the album "Take A Seat" (iTunes | Amazon)
- "Here & Now" from the album "Take A Seat" (iTunes | Amazon)
- "Go It Alone" from the album "Take A Seat" (iTunes | Amazon)
In addition to Comic Book Heroes, a variety of bands are featured on ESPN's NASCAR broadcasts.
You can vote at Fuzztopia.com for the song you want to be featured on the images of the month highlights on "NASCAR Now." Music from Underground Garage and Wicked Cool Records will also be featured on the show.
Here are artists and the music featured on ESPN's "NASCAR Now" in June:
Invisible Lines
The Doughboys
The Time Beings
- "I Don't Wanna Be Left Behind " from the album "Thank You" (ebandagogo.com)

Orange dials in mobile minutes to broadband bundle
Orange has announced the introduction of a funky little broadband and calls bundle with minutes to landlines, international numbers and mobiles all thrown in.
Claiming the package as a UK first, the deal offers unlimited broadband and landline calls to 30 countries and also 500 inclusive minutes to mobile phones per month.
The new Broadband and Anytime Mobile Calls plan costs £15 per month, plus £13.95 for the line rental. For March only, new and existing Orange users can sign up and get double the inclusive mobile minutes allowance for the first 12 months.
Ernest Doku, broadband and mobile expert at uSwitch.com, says it's a good deal. "At £15 per month, this is one of the more affordable broadband and call deals on the market, and the addition of a landline to mobile allowance will appeal to the millions of people who still use and rely on their landline phones," he said.
"Because of the steep cost of calling mobile numbers from a landline, in many households the landline phone simply sits idle. However, a significant number of people still consider it to be vital and are reluctant to use it to make calls to mobiles only because they're worried about running up a huge phone bill.
"For this group, a broadband and calling package that also makes calling mobiles affordable should prove extremely attractive."
The Broadband and Anytime Mobile Calls plan comes bundled with McAfee Anti-virus 2012 and a Bright Box wireless "n-series" router. You can sign up now.
