Well, Stranger-endorsed-Freedom-Socialist Linda Averill didn't make it through the primary. But her 18 percent showing was more than respectable. Congrats Linda! You raised legitimate issues and you raised them well. We hope to see you in the next municipal cycle.

I mean, come on: Jimmy Carter was enough to drive you from the Democratic Party (because he reinstated draft registration), and Pol Pot, Mao, Castro et el. aren't enough to drive you away from the Socialist/Marxist left?

Did Jesus Command Baptism in Order to be Saved? A commentary on John 3:5-7
|Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)
Many Christians have claimed that one cannot be saved without being baptized and cite the verse above as evidence. Although baptism is an ordinance of the Christian Church and a command given to those who convert non-believers, Jesus never commanded baptism in order to be saved. Let us look at this verse in context to try to figure out what "born of water" actually refers to.
John 3 in context
Let us start by checking out the entire verse in context:
Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?" Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, "You must be born again.' (John 3:3-7)
There are two conditions to enter the kingdom of God. Which comes first? "Born of water," according to the verse. Does baptism precede being born of the Spirit in the believer? Jesus clarifies what He means in the next verse, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Being born of water is referring to being born physically (the water referring to the amniotic fluid that breaks as one is born). This is why He said "You must be born again." The first birth is the birth from water, or the flesh. The second is to be born of the Spirit, which is of God. I think it is pretty clear that the verse does not refer to baptism, but to the first birth. At this point, the "entering" is for anyone who is born again (i.e., born of the Spirit).
Let's go over the specific text in question. Verse 3 says that one must be born again to see the kingdom of God. Verse 5 says that one must be born of water AND the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. The text tells us that these requirements are one and the same.
In stating that one must be born again, Jesus referred to 2 births - the first the physical birth on Earth. Nicodemus recognized this as the first requirement, since he stated that a man cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb (John 3:4). In the very next statement he explains the two kinds of birth. "Born of water" refers to the physical birth, whereas "born of the Spirit" refers to being "born again" or the second birth. In the next verse, Jesus clarifies the statement explaining that "born of water" refers to being "born of flesh." Jesus was clear and direct. There is no mention of baptism anywhere. "Born of water" never refers to baptism in any other verse in the entire Bible. The Greek word used is "hudwr" (Strong's number G5204).1 The Greek word for baptism is "baptisma" (Strong's number G908).2 If Jesus had wanted to refer to baptism, He would have used this word. In fact, the word (or a variation of it) occurs 112 times in the New Testament.
Counter arguments
Why did Jesus use different verbs, "see" in verse 33 vs. "enter" in verse 5?4 It is a common practice in teaching to use different words to explain the same concept. By doing so, one keeps the attention of your student. And Jesus was an excellent teacher, who used this technique often. Take a look at another teaching about the kingdom of God:
But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all." (Luke 18:16-17)
In the first verse, Jesus says that the kingdom of God "belongs" to children. In the second, He says that one must receive the kingdom as a child in order to "enter." Is belonging and entering different? Yes, these are different verbs, but the point is the same. Likewise, one cannot enter the kingdom of God without seeing it.
Jesus often used multiple parables to illustrate the same spiritual truths. You can confirm this yourself by reading virtually any chapter in any of the gospels.
Did Jesus baptize?
A general observation of the ministry of Jesus Christ reveals that He never told anyone to be baptized in any of the gospel accounts. His discussion with numerous people about how to have a relationship with God have been recorded in the gospels,5 but in none of those accounts does Jesus tell anyone that they must be baptized. If baptism were crucial to one's salvation, I would think that He would have mentioned it at least once! Was Jesus negligent in not explaining this to all the people He talked to in the gospels? I don't think so! In addition, Jesus never baptized anyone to our knowledge, although He had His disciples perform the ceremony.6 In fact, He routinely sent the people off after being healed without baptism. Obviously, He gave the command to His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.7 Baptism is an outward expression of what has already occurred within an individual. Jesus didn't need to see that outward expression of an individual's conversion, since, being God, He already knew what was in their heart.
Salvation by faith
In contrast, Jesus talked very often about faith - at least 27 examples given in the gospels: Matthew 8:10, Matthew 8:26, Matthew 9:2, Matthew 9:22, Matthew 9:29, Matthew 14:31, Matthew 15:28, Matthew 16:8, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 2:5, Mark 4:40, Mark 5:34, Mark 10:52, Mark 11:22, Luke 5:20, Luke 7:9, Luke 7:50, Luke 8:25, Luke 8:48, Luke 12:28, Luke 17:5, Luke 17:6, Luke 17:19, Luke 18:8, Luke 18:42, Luke 22:32.8 Could it be that faith is the key to having a relationship with God and not baptism?
The idea that baptism is required for justification perpetuates the Jewish notion of salvation through works of the law, which were repudiated by the apostles (Acts 10:43-11:18,9 15:1-11,10 Romans 3:30,11 Galatians 2,12 and Philippians 313) and the early church fathers. Yes, I believe one should be baptized in obedience to Jesus' command. However, we should also love our neighbor for the same reason.14 I know that we do not keep this entire command, because only God can demonstrate this kind of unconditional love. Does this mean that we will lose our salvation? No!
We are justified on the basis of faith alone (true faith - not an uncommitted confession of some belief). If anyone is trusting in any work of the flesh, then they put themselves under the entire law of God and will be held accountable to keep it all! (James 2:10,15 Galatians 3:10,16 5:2-4,17 Romans 2:12,18 3:2019)
A careful examination of John 3:5-7 reveals that when Jesus' referred to being "born of water" He was talking about the physical birth ("born of the flesh"), in contrast to being "born of the Spirit" or "born again." Jesus Himself never baptized anyone to our knowledge, although the disciples did baptize under His command. In all of His interactions with people, Jesus was never recorded as commanding anyone to be baptized, although He often commended people for their faith. It would seem that if baptism were required for salvation that Jesus would have made some mention of it. We conclude that faith, rather than baptism, is required for salvation, although the dutiful Christian will be baptized in obedience to Jesus command in Matthew 28:19.

The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter. After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. "And God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — People applying to the state for unemployment benefits will now have to register on a state job-searching website to receive compensation pay.
A Department of Labor and Industry spokeswoman said today that newly finalized regulations allow the state to withhold benefits from people who do not register as job seekers at jobgateway.pa.gov within 30 days of applying.
The requirement took effect after it was published Aug. 19 and applies only to new applications filed on or after that date.
Agency spokeswoman Sara Goulet says people seeking or receiving benefits also are required to compile a track record of their job-searching activity.
Goulet says, however, the department isn't ready to begin demanding that proof or withholding benefits from people who don't provide it.
Why are they constantly going after those who lose their jobs thru no fault of their own, this should also be applied to welfare, you want a check you have to register for work too, or no check!!!!! Lets stop the enabling!!!

In an affidavit, police said they had received reliable information that "Dan from Manchester" had "dog food" for sale April 9. The affidavit said "dog food" is slang for heroin.
Police arranged to have a "cooperating individual" buy 10 bags of heroin from Reddan at a parking lot in Bennington on April 9. Police were able to observe the sale and record it with a video camera, according to the affidavit.
Another target of the drug sweep, Edward Crandall Jr., 36, of Bennington, was involved in the sale, police said. Crandall was arrested and arraigned on Sept. 25. Reddan was released without bail Monday.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Case Study URL: http://www.watchtowerinformationservice.org/
(note: site is dedicated to warning people against JW. It is not an advocate of JW. I'm not affiliated to this website, I merely saw the webmaster's posting on WordPress Support forum, and was fascinated by such a well-designed site)
This site has everything (except for a photogallery) I would have hoped for in my own WordPressed site. As i list its features down below, perhaps any one of you could reply to any or every of them by stating or suggesting how i could achieve that feature...thanks!
Great Features:
1) The header! It moves! It looks like a flash header, and the right portion of it changes accordingly to the categories. The logo of the site on the left glows and blinks upon mouse hovering. Super cool.
2) On the main body, the heading has a static section, "about this site" and "news from the net", which is constantly updating, via some plugins i suppose.
3) Look at its guestbook. It is so simple. Yet i do not know how to make one.
4) Notice that every image he quoted on each posting has a standard picture frame with drop shadow and of the same size. I wonder if he manually edited each image in PS before he uploaded them, or he's using certain plugins to automate that action....
5) another neat feature: the web directory (not sure if that's the correct term). What i mean is this: in my own WordPress site (by default), whenever i create something, say a post or a page a category a link, WP will naturally give it a directory ending with " /?(something)=(number) ". That is not cool. Look at this case study, every link in it has a defined and neat web directory, ie, the link "Guest Book" has this url "http://www.watchtowerinformationservice.org/index.php/guestbook/". If i would create a Page and name it Guest Book, it will turn out with this url, "giolovesgod.com/?p=a number". I've seen many WordPress site having this feature, i would love to implement this too. Adivice? Solution?
6) The theme, as admitted by the author, is heavily modified from kubrick. and he doesnt plan to realise it publicly. How sad. Anyone knows how to build one similar to this?
Haha, i know i'm asking a lot. And i don't expect answers for all of them. But just shoot, no matter how little or inaccurate you think you might be. I value any advice and opinions. Let's share and learn, cheers.

To determine if in utero cocaine exposure affects IQ scores in children at age 4 years.
A prospective, longitudinal evaluation by blinded examiners of the IQ scores of cocaine-exposed and control children of low socioeconomic status who have been observed since birth.
A study center in an inner-city hospital.
One hundred one children with in utero cocaine exposure and 118 control children, all of whom were 34 weeks' gestational age or older and nonasphyxiated at birth.
Main Outcome Measure:
Intelligence quotient scores on a standardized intelligence test, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence–Revised.
Seventy-one cocaine-exposed and 78 control children were administered the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence–Revised. Maternal, natal, and 30-month characteristics of the children tested did not differ from those not tested. Groups did not differ on mean Performance (83.2 vs 87.0), Verbal (79.0 vs 80.8), or Full Scale (79.0 vs 81.9) IQ scores (all P≥.10 [values for cocaine-exposed children given first]). None of these 3 scores was associated with cocaine exposure in multivariate linear regressions. Although cocaine-exposed and control groups did not differ in outcome, 93% of cocaine-exposed and 96% of control children had Full Scale IQ scores below 100, the mean IQ score for the test.
In an inner-city cohort, IQ scores did not differ between cocaine-exposed and control children. However, both groups performed poorly.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1997;151:1237-1241

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 1998
Running Time: 125
Director: Mitchell Spinelli
Company: Plum Productions
Cast: Sindee Coxx, Steve Hatcher, Sahara Sands, Raylene, Laura Palmer, Holly Body, Alec Metro, Asia Carrera
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
A group of quarreling friends get together for a weekend of feuding' and fuckin', with something to please everyone: sex in the pool, around the pool, on the couch, on the stairs and in the backyard.
Things cut right to the chase after the credits as Holly Body and Sindee Coxx work each other over, by and in the pool, as Alex Sanders looks on. Soon he's in the thick of it as both girls suck his schlong; then he takes turns doing them mish, doggie and anal doggie, before he coats their faces with scrotum sunscreen - SPF 45.
Alec Metro has the pleasure of hooking up with Sahara Sands, then Raylene, in consecutive scenes in which he pretty much repeats the same positions: tit-suck, cunt-lick, b.j., mish, anal, anal doggie, and reverse cowgirl. But come the pop, Sands gets it on her magnificent ass; Raylene, on her magnificent face. A threeway with Asia Carrera, Laura Palmer and Steve Hatcher and a Sands-Raylene girl/girler round things out.

Either in a one night stand or if you were in the beginning of a new relationship with someone, and they disclosed they have an incurable STD (herpes or HIV, as far as I know the rest are curable), would you sleep with them, or no?
Is someone having an STD a deal breaker for you?
I would definitely not risk it for either one.

Daily suppressive therapy with antiviral medication, like Valtrex, reduces liklihood of transmission by preventing viral shedding asymptomatically and symptomatically.
It prevents the virus from 'activating', so to speak.
It's use is not as high as it could be due to lack of this knowledge as well as embarassment in picking up said RX.
As a society, STD discussion is still taboo. The idea that if *I* ask for testing at frequent intervals, then I am somehow a slut is still something we need to work on.
I advise every non monogamous, or 'unsure' sexually active woman to seek testing every 6 months.
HSV testing is not standard. This is partly because you will not test positive until after you have had for about 3-4 months. Your body has to build up antibodies to test for. It's also very very common.
90% of people with HSV genitally, whether it is 1 or 2, are unaware they have contracted it!
Yes, because it is on our genitals. It is related to sexual activity. As a side note, most people do not know that oral cold sores are Herpes. They are called "cold sores", so the fact that they are herpes is often hidden or unknown by many.
"Cold sores" are herpes on your face. That is right, you have herpes on your face. I have herpes on my vagina. Either way it's really no big deal to me. I take care of myself, take daily suppressive therapy, and I do not have outbreaks.
Lemme tell you though, that first outbreak was FUCKED UP. Quarter sized welts everywhere!!!! Pain!!!! I had to urinate while standing under a cold shower :(
DH did not take daily therapy, and I contracted it when he did not have visible sores. I, a Nurse in fact, did not realize it was transmittable without having lesions present. This is also info that is now being widely discussed.
People automatically want to project that they would NEVER be with someone with an incurable STD. But, the majority of the population has HPV. Also, the majority of the population has oral HERPES (which quite readily transfers to the genitals). Also, aside from AIDS, the incurable STDs are the ones that are tested the least often and are the least accurate. So, even with testing you don't really know. To top that off, when you ask your MD for a FULL STD screen, they are generally going to send, HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhea. They do not generally test for HPV. They almost never test for HSV without reason because most people will test positive because most people carry oral herpes. Since either can live in either region, there is no real reason to test.
This is just yet another way for people to judge, smirk and feel better than other people. Having an STD is not indicative of someone's sexual behavior or moral code. It is just a virus. Period.

I'm sorry but no.
Sorry, but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a hieroglyph, and the blood of a virgin
As far as it being common..
Yes, technically it is 'likely' you can contract genital herpes from type 1 HSV if you obtain oral sex from someone with an active oral herpes outbreak.
This ^^ Is some extra info regarding herpes and transmission. It does mention that in the past we did not think HSV1 transmission to genitals was as likely.
No. This link does NOT say crossover oral/genital or vice versa is common.
It does not.
It DOES happen. The link acknowledeges that. It does not say it is common.
Read it again:
In the past, HSV-1 was not known to cause genital herpes, but that is changing, especially among people who begin having sex at a young age. Still, in most cases, genital herpes is caused by the second type of herpes virus (HSV-2).

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2003
Running Time: 85
Director: Chimera Chase
Company: Odyssey Group Video
Cast: Sylvia Boots, Dianna Odalys, Paul Carrigan, Johanna Bardin, Simone Bucannon, Rico Bucannon, Jason Jones, Tom Moore
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Better than most in the genre.
A lot of transsexual tapes rely entirely on the sex to do the talking, and don't pay too much attention to the amenities of conventional porn, such as production value or plot. Transsexual Dream Girls 11 breaks that mold, and has some nice behind the scenes work to go along with the fucking onscreen.
Hosted by the very warm and likable Simone Bucannon, TSDG11 features some different looking trannies in some very hot action. Also fairly unique to the genre is the idea that most of the she-males here speak English well, and do a lot of talking to go along with the sex, which also elevates this title above most in the genre.
There's nice variation in the look of the girls, which is a problem in a lot of transsexual movies, and the sex is pretty hot all around, with even Bucannon getting involved at the end.
The scenes are all one-on-one, and they take place in the same location - which can be a little one-dimensional - and might make you feel like you're watching an assembly line of she-males getting it on over and over again, but the quality of the tape on the whole is solid and the actors do much more than usual to try and make it a good, hot tape.
It succeeds, for the most part.

I need to compile an old application whose tarball only contains *.c and *h, ie. no Makefile. The root directory contains the application, and a sub-directory contains a library the application needs.
My make/Makefile knowledge isn't great, and I was wondering what the easiest way would be to compile this application + library.
Thank you.
Edit: Using this script...
# cat compile.bash
cd mylib
for cfile in *.c; do
ofile=$(echo "$cfile" | sed 's#.c$#.so#')
gcc -shared -c "$cfile" -o "$ofile"
cd ..
gcc *.c -I mylib -L mylib -mylib -o myapp
... I notice that each *.c file in mylib/ is compiled into a *.so file instead of compiling each into an object file and building a single .so file, and I get tons of warnings and errors, eg.
unzip.c: In function âunzipâ:
unzip.c:991: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments
gcc: unrecognized option '-mylib'
file_util.c: In function âfile_moveâ:
file_util.c:98: error: âerrnoâ undeclared (first use in this function)
I don't know how to compile the library, and then compile the application without error/warning.

Felicia Feaster's Top 10 Visual Art Exhibitions
1) New Photography, High Museum of Art -- An exhibition of contemporary photography this provocative at the High Museum hasn't happened in a long, long, long time. If this is a sign of things to come from the museum's curator of photography Julian Cox, we say bring it on!
2) Jennifer Celio, Romo Gallery -- The diminutive delicacy of these ethereal graphite on panel drawings from California artist Celio was immediately countered by their gritty content: urban blight and industrial decay and the margins of the contemporary urban and suburban landscape.
3) David Humphrey: New Paintings, Solomon Projects -- Fanciful, wry, kitschy paintings by this New York-based artist were inspired by amateur paintings and examine material as familiar as President Eisenhower, clowns and kitties, to vignettes as hilariously "What the hell?" as an androgynous nude boy cradling a monkey in a waterfall. Humphrey manages to both inspire fits of convulsive laughter and offer commentary on the competing tendencies in American society for reverence and bad taste.
4) a year in the yards of clutter and the driveways of divestment: Tom Zarrilli and Recess Playscape: Didi Dunphy, The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center -- Talk about interactivity. Zarrilli's yard-sale installation allowed viewers to browse some of the detritus of American life while offering rueful commentary on the poignant, pathos-laden manifestation of our lives in the material objects we cast away. And Athens artist Dunphy's beautifully constructed skateboards, swings and balancing games -- all interactive -- also brought a delightful inventiveness, sense of play and top-notch design chops to this summertime-appropriate pairing of artists.
5) Niki in the Garden, The Atlanta Botanical Garden -- An even more impressive follow-up to the garden's record-breaking Dale Chihuly exhibit, Niki de Saint Phalle's skulls, lion's heads, totem poles and bodacious babes translated into an installation that took more risks and yielded enormous rewards. Interactive, feminine, playful, saucy, sexy, this was art that made you proud to live in Atlanta and in the cosmopolitan, sophisticated vision of its institutions.
6) Glennville: Photographs by David Yoakley Mitchell, Whitespace Gallery -- This Southern artist's impressive body of photographs of old folks and trains, squared-away domestic interiors and dying downtown shops capture with heart and feeling a disappearing part of small-town life and the elderly relatives left behind who define it. The exhibit captured the complicated emotional brew of nostalgia and sadness that can define the past.
7) Ruud van Empel, Jackson Fine Art -- These sublime, hypnotic color photographs of black children surrounded by a nature of surreal beauty and menace showed both the enchanted relationship children have with nature, but also the vulnerability of children negotiating their way through life's wilderness.
8) Serial City: Matt Haffner, locations around the city -- Public art in Atlanta can often be a drably civic affair, but this Atlanta photographer's Atlanta Celebrates Photography project, of wheat-pasting large black-and-white photo murals around the city proved public art could be edgy, engaging and tip a hat to other public forms, from film and graffiti to culture jamming and political propaganda.
9) Happily Ever After ... Marcus Kenney, Marcia Wood Gallery -- This Savannah-based conceptual collagist cuts and pastes a plethora of old-school material culled from thrift-store archivist Kenney's vast storehouse of cultural debris into commentaries on subjects from ecology to race.
10) Plush, Young Blood Gallery -- This adorably lo-fi installation of stuffed animals and plants, fish and anthropomorphic raindrops positioned in a soft and cuddly landscape was one of the most inviting illustrations of the dominance of craft in local art circles.
Curt Holman's Top 10 Plays of 2006
1) Jelly's Last Jam, Alliance Theatre -- Directed by Kent Gash, this revival of the spectacular musical about the life of self-proclaimed founder of jazz Jelly Roll Morton crowned a year marked by numerous provocative plays about race, and proved to be exactly the kind of show that should be the Alliance's specialty.
2) Keeping Watch, Theatrical Outfit -- Thomas Ward's superbly well-observed comedy/drama tracked the subtle, complex dynamic of race, class, religion and friendship in the modern-day rural South.
3) Metamorphoses, Georgia Shakespeare -- The 300-gallon swimming pool helped transform Mary Zimmerman's adaptation of Ovid's fables into an artful, sensual, abundantly theatrical experience, but the superb production would have delighted audiences even without the aquatic gimmick.
4) Yellowman, Theatre in the Square -- Young actors Jade M. Lambert-Smith and Will Cobbs vividly portrayed all the roles in this intimate yet scalding portrayal of black-on-black racial animosity.
5) Brooklyn Boy, Jewish Theatre of the South -- This impeccable staging of playwright Donald Margulies' semi-autobiographical work proved so finely crafted and well-pitched that you felt like each scene could be expanded to its own rewarding, full-length play.
6) Permanent Collection, Horizon Theatre -- Gary Yates and Christopher Ekholm led a strong cast in a fascinating, plausible drama about how the communication breakdown between races can lead to escalating conflicts all too easily.
He didn't ask for any of this. She took it upon herself to start this…

Grange, GA, July 28, 2016—Interface Global reported sales
of $248.2 million, or $0.32 per share, in Q2 2016, versus $263.6 million, or
$0.33 per share, in Q2 2015, a 5.9% decrease in net sales.
"Second quarter sales in our
Americas business declined 6.0% compared with its all-time record high in the
prior year period, with similar decreases in both the corporate office and
non-office segments, although the hospitality sector was up 27%," reports the
business. "Sales in the Company's core U.S. modular carpet business were up 1%
in the quarter, but this was more than offset by a decline in its InterfaceServices
business due to large retail projects that were delayed until the second half
of the year, coupled with soft business conditions in Canada and Brazil as a
result of the weakened oil and gas sector."
Patrick C. Lynch, senior vice
president and chief financial officer, commented, "The second quarter was
a continuation of the dynamics we've been seeing over the past few quarters,
with softer sales offset by substantial improvements in gross margin driven by
higher selling prices, lower input costs, better material usage and improved
production efficiencies from our lean manufacturing processes. We managed
working capital well during the period, drawing down inventory levels with

I just migrated to a new web host late Wednesday night, and since then Disqus does not work on new posts, and posts are missing schedule. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Disqus a couple of times and it doesn't seem to help. I'm not sure what the deal is, but it's bumming me out. hahaha
If anyone has any tips on how to fix it, that'd be excellent. Thank you all in advance.

Beckman rolls past CdM, 10-1, in league game
Beckman High baseball coach Kevin Lavalle said that when it comes to competing in the Pacific Coast League, both he and his team expect every game to be competitive.
So when it came to facing a winless Corona del Mar squad on Friday, Beckman wasn't about to take them lightly.
"They're capable of beating anbody," Lavalle said of CdM. "When we saw the game on the schedule that's the first thing I though of as a coach – a trap game."
The Patriots didn't fall victim to the trap, defeating the Sea Kings, 10-1, at Corona del Mar High.
Corona del Mar (0-10, 0-3) threw five different pitchers against Beckman and the Patriots didn't have much trouble against any of them.
"After a while you throw the scouting report out because you don't know who you're going to face," Lavalle said.
Beckman's runs came in bunches, scoring four in the second inning and five in the fifth to take a 9-1 lead after five.
Dallas Dey went 3-for-4 with five RBI to pace Beckman offensively.
Pitcher Daniel Griese (4-1) got the win as he went five innings, allowing one run on three hits while striking out six.
