Columns in the WCR
Pentecost is an important and special time for me. I was raised in the Pentecostal Church, and my parents are both ordained Pentecostal ministers. On top of that, I received the sacrament of Confirmation on Pentecost Sunday. I remember being fascinated to discover that there were charismatic Catholics - people who prayed and worshipped the way that I was used to Evangelicals praying and worshipping, but who also loved Our Lady and the Eucharist.

'We believe that there is no 'just war.'" This pungent declaration jumped off the page of a statement issued by a three-day Vatican conference that set the stage for a possible intervention by Pope Francis ruling out the justification for war to resolve conflict. The Pontifical Council on Justice and Peace teamed up with Pax Christi International (a vibrant anti-war group) to bring 80 experts engaged in global nonviolent struggles to Rome to develop a new moral framework rejecting ethical justifications for war.
Both my father and uncle were Knights of Columbus. Unfortunately, they were also inveterate pranksters, so that when I asked them about becoming a knight the picture they painted for me of the process almost drove me into therapy. "The Knights?" my uncle said, raising his voice alarmingly, and then he melodramatically scanned the surroundings for spies and agitators. "You mean, the . . . Knights?" He looked at my father who inexplicably began to shake his head and mop his brow. Then began what can only be construed as a handshake performed by two men being electrocuted.
A couple of weeks ago I attended the annual Social Justice Institute (SJI) in Edmonton. The theme was Care for Our Common Home: A Faithful Response to Today's Ecological and Social Crisis. It was an extended ecumenical reflection on Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'. The main speaker was Jennifer Henry, the executive director of the KAIROS national ecumenical justice coalition.
Christopher Lasch, the American historian who was the first to describe contemporary culture as narcissist, titled his book on the family, Haven in a Heartless World. Sometimes, however, the family is not even that. The human condition being what it is, even the best families introduce dysfunction as well as wholeness into their children's lives. In some instances, one's family can be even more heartless than "the heartless world." It is no small contributor to the despair, lost potential and dis-ease that affect young people. St. John Paul II once said, as the family goes, so goes the society. The pope was correct. Yet, the opposite is also true - as society goes, so goes the family. The family is not a cocoon immune to the hurricane forces blowing through society and, thanks to mass media, right into the home.
In the movie based upon Jane Austen's classic novel, Sense and Sensibility, there's a poignant scene where one of her young heroines, suffering from acute pneumonia, is lying in bed hovering between life and death. A young man, very much in love with her, paces back and forth, highly agitated and frustrated by his helplessness to do anything of use. Unable to contain his agitation any longer, he goes to the girl's mother and asks what he might do to be helpful.
The scriptures constantly point us to life's spiritual dimension. This week's Second Reading from Revelation says, "See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more for the first things have passed away. And the one who was seated on the throne said, 'See, I am making all things new.'"
The weakest form of argument is the ad hominem; you try to vanquish your debating opponent, not by discrediting his or her argument, but by attacking the person making the argument. For example, "Don't believe what Al Gore says about global warming; he's made millions from giving talks on the subject." Monroe Beardsley, in his classic logic textbook Thinking Straight, calls the ad hominem a "kind of emotional appeal that is very common." Although the ad hominem is a form of distraction, it can deter onlookers from accepting an opposing point of view.
Gift is a glorious word. It can mean many things, be they big, be they small, be they incidental or even life-changing. A gift can be a present you give to others or something you give to yourself. At its most pristine, a gift is given from the heart with no strings attached, no expectations other than that one sees a need, and if they can fulfil it, they do.
I have a friend who often gets on my case about all the "rules" of Catholicism: the ins and outs, the loopholes, the technicalities. For whatever reason, I know about a lot of these "rules," and my first reaction is almost always to defend them. They all come from somewhere; there's a reason for all of them. There's a reason we fast an hour before Communion; and what's wrong with knowing that if we have a good reason, we can ask for a dispensation from that fast from a priest? Nothing. There's nothing wrong with knowing that.

Is there a way to have the date appear before the title? I was able to do it by editing the plugin files, but that gets overwritten with every update so it's not a good solution.
If there isn't another way to do it, please put that on the wish list. The lack of customizing the field order is the only thing keeping me from rating this plugin a 5.

Let me start off by saying I am very new to WordPress. So throw a brick at me if I ask a dumb question.
My question is "Does every post made end up on the homepage other than setting the post to private?"
Example - if I make a post about sports....does everyone have to read it when they come to my blog or can I set that post just to show up under one of my categories?
Thanks alot in advance for any help or comments !! (or bricks..heh)

Marcus Lattimore is one of the most intriguing players in the draft this year. Just as catastrophic injuries hurt the draft stock of players like Willis McGahee and Adrian Peterson's draft stock, Lattimore's career is also in serious doubt because of a devastating setback that occurred from a broken leg.
But despite the injury, Lattimore is one of the most well-rounded and naturally talented running backs in the draft. He could very well be an elite starter for a decade, or he could never see the field.
Because of the high risk/reward nature of Lattimore, he's been one of the most talked about prospects in this year's draft, and it's a question mark where he'll end up being drafted.

Catalysts Supported on Carbon Materials for the Selective Hydrogenation of Citral
AbstractThe heterogeneously catalyzed selective-hydrogenation of citral is one of the more feasible ways for obtaining its appreciated unsaturated-alcohols, nerol and geraniol, which are present in over 250 essential oils. Thus, citral has very recently come to be produced petro-chemically in very large quantities, and so partial hydrogenation of citral has become a very economical route for the production of these compounds. However, the selective hydrogenation of citral is not easy, because citral is an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde which possesses three double bonds that can be hydrogenated: an isolated C=C bond and the conjugated C=O and C=C bonds. For this reason, in catalyst selection there are several important issues which affect the product selectivity, for example, the active metal and metal particle size which are factors related to the catalyst preparation method, catalyst precursor, or support surface area, as well as other factors such as porosity, the addition of a second catalytic metal, and, of course, the type of catalyst support. About this last one, carbon materials are very interesting supports for this type of hydrogenation reaction due to their unique chemical and textural properties. This review collects and analyzes the results obtained in the selective hydrogenation of citral catalyzed by carbon material supported metals.

A Constructive Ban-the-Bomb Movement
On Monday, diplomats will gather in New York for a conference to review the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Held once every five years, the Review Conference is an opportunity to assess progress on the treaty's basic bargain: States without nuclear weapons promise not to build them if the five nuclear states promise to get rid of theirs. This conference comes at a critical time. For 70 years, the nonproliferation regime has limited the spread of nuclear weapons. Today, it is marked by deep discord.

Footage of THQ's Canned First-Person Avengers Game Emerges

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if every major player in the industry gets involved.

Skoda is on a roll. Its rugged Yeti crossover and spacious Superb family car have class-leading credentials, while the clever Citigo city car was crowned our 2012 Car of the Year.
Now it's the turn of the Rapid to try to continue the success story. The new car is based on the underpinnings of the Roomster and VW Polo, and aims to deliver family car space and practicality for mid-range supermini money.
There's a limited line-up of petrol and diesel engines to choose from, and we test the frugal 1.6 TDI diesel in well equipped SE spec. A £17,100 price puts the Rapid in the firing line of two cost-effective family cars.
The entry-level Kia Cee'd 1 1.6 CRDi mixes style and a grown-up driving experience, while the Chevrolet Cruze has a gutsy diesel and roomy cabin. Can they stop the Rapid continuing Skoda's winning streak?
Skoda has enjoyed a strong run of road test success in recent years, but the new Rapid can't extend the brand's winning ways.
The car certainly continues Skoda's value-for-money tradition, while few rivals in this class are as spacious and practical. The Rapid is also well equipped and cost effective to run. As a result it narrowly beats the Cruze, which is roomy, fast and generously kitted out, but hobbled by a cheap-feeling cabin, poor residuals and the highest price in this test.
However, the Skoda can't quite pull off the same trick against the Kia. Yes, the Cee'd has the smallest cabin, but it'll be large enough for most families' needs, plus it feels a cut above the rest in terms of quality and layout. The Kia also comes with plenty of equipment, and has low CO2 emissions and an industry-leading seven-year warranty. The fact it's the cheapest car to buy is merely the icing on the cake.

All that's missing is the roasting chestnuts over an open fire but even so, the third annual Old Fashioned Christmas on Third Avenue, scheduled for Friday, Dec. 10 is bringing the holiday cheer with Christmas carolers, twinkling lights, hot cocoa and cider, more than 40 vendors, wagon rides through downtown and even pictures with Santa.

The Black Friday holiday shopping experience was alive and well in downtown Oakdale over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to a sampling of downtown merchants.
Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows of the incredible love and acceptance they bring. Pets don't care how the person looks or acts and accepts them unconditionally. For residents in challenging life situations at the Oak Valley Care Center, pets can be of special benefit.
The results are in, and Oakdale has a new mayor.
It will be almost like Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one this week in Oakdale, with the annual community dinner on Thursday and Cowboy Christmas on Saturday.

Carnival Valor Cruise Review by shellden: Fun for all!!
Overall Member Rating
Fun for all!!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We are a family of 4 ages mid 40's and 2DD 14 and 15, We love cruising ,the kids love the kids club made a ton of new friends. This trip had no complaints.. Easiest Embarkation and Debarkation ever!! We arrived at the terminal around Noon. The lines were a bit long but moved quickly.
The ship: We loved the decor, I enjoy going into all the stair wells and checking out all the artwork. We chose flex dining and really appreciated being able to eat on our time. We asked for the same server each night and were not disappointed. Food was good we never left hungry. Crew friendly and helpful. We had 2 inside connecting cabins on deck 6. We have had these cabins in the past and love them, They are mid ship center the configuration makes them feel bigger. And it fits my budget! Went to a few shows as always entertaining, great comedy especially the late nit shows. Hubby and I had a couples massage Fabulous!! We used the gym and some classes.
Ports Grand Cayman- We had been More many times and decided to enjoy the free ship instead. Roatan- Private tour with Victor Bordon Monkeys and zip lining lots of fun. Make sure to have some ideas what you want to see as the driver will leave the decisions up to you. Belize- Missed port due to high winds Bummer but maybe next time Cozumel- Booked Twister speed boat and beach with Carnival. Not disappointed lots of fun beach was beautiful, lunch was good, beer was cold. Would do this again.
We would not hesitate to cruise with Carnival again Happy Sailing Less

Corporate Advocacy Program™
When we called DISH to create an account we told them that Direct TV could not install their service because of line of sight issues due to the hill behind our house. DISH assured us that they could install their service because they have more satellites in the sky. They charged us $125 up front to get the service turned on and that included our first month's bill.
On January 1st, when they were supposed to show up between 12 PM and 5 PM, the technician didn't get there until a little after 6 PM and he could't install the service with the equipment we signed up for. He had us call DISH and explain it to them and the technician said that he had the better equipment in his van that he could hook up as soon as they approved it on the computer. But DISH said that we needed the High Definition Equipment and in doing so we would lose our local channels.
We got transferred on to about 7 different sales representatives about this issue. One sales person said that it would cost us $23 more on top f the $125 we already paid to get the HD equipment put in. We said that the fee should be waived due to the
inconvenience they had caused us. They kept transferring us and the next few people then told us that it would cost us an additional $149 on top of the $125 that we already paid; not $23.
They would not waive the fees or give us any kind of discount even though we had to change our night's plans due to them inconveniencing us. The sales people were rude and obnoxious and claimed they did not have the number to the main
office. We told them that it was not our fault that they sold us equipment that would not work for us; we told them our situation over the phone when we first ordered their service. We feel that we should have gotten our DISH service installed with no extra cost due to the fact that they showed up late, sold us the wrong equipment, and were rude. But they would not let us get that.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 05, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, February 05, 2013
A couple of weeks ago. One of my long time customer called to ask me a favor. Wanted to know if I would call a friend of his. That lived about 200 mile away.
I called and talked to his friend for about 30 minutes. His concern was over the installation of the new Hopper and Joey system. He had aready talked to Dish Network . He was told it would only take 1 to 2 to install the 6 tuners. I told him that it would take much longer to install.
I got to meet him this past Saturday. While installing a Microwave Oven for my customer . He drove up for a Gun Show and stopped by to say hi. I asked how long it took Dish Network to install his system.
It took them 4 to 5 hours to install . He was very happy with the equipment and install. When your honest with the customer. They usually don't care if it takes a little longer . They have to be able to plan their day around you .
Another part of a job is whenever possible is to do a Site Survey. It's easier to say you can't have it during the Site Survey . Than to show up for an install and tell the customer they can't have it. You not only wasted your time, but also the customers time.
It also doesn't take long to call the customer and telling them your going to be late.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

What's this post based on, slayer? Could you give a pointer to anything official? Your language is rather strange; did you use Babbel? Why is putting in a bid through official channels ' public posturing'?
"Still, Arsenal's option to buy-back at a time of our choosing [is] intact" - so you really think Arsenal can go to Barcelona whenever they like and say 'Please can we have Cesc back'? Clown.

You just have to check it out. I just got these shirt in and jogger's. I must say..I'm too sexy for my shirt HAHA
Here's the link: ~*All The Things For Your FurBaby*~
So here is how I start my days off. First of all I sleep in a comfy bag. It all pink and roomy. It makes me feel safe and secure and my mom has a fuzzy blanket in there to keep me warm. Anyways when I wake up I bark to let my mom know I'm ready to get out. She lets me out, I go pee, eat some food and I begin my daily rounds!
First I start barking up a storm and growling as I enter each room of the house. I have to be sure that everything is ok and if not, they know I mean business. After every room is clear I go back to my room and play with my toys. I have this purple ball that is AMAZING! It massages my gums and everything! I have to go get my teeth pulled, my baby ones haven't fallen out yet. Can you believe that!?!?!
And that's how my days play out. It's tough being the 4lb. guard dog, but someone has to do the job!

Whistler Village North Vacation Rentals for World Ski and Snowboard Festival
Whistler's Village North area is an ideal spot for many families who are interested vacation rentals during the World Ski and Snowboard Festival (WSSF). Not only is it away from the alleys of Skiers Plaza where the main outdoor music festival is taking place, but Whistler Village North is surrounded by family restaurants, outdoor parks, the Valley Trail, and much more. Staying in Whistler Village North allows you and your family to be within walking distance of the ski lifts and still have endless opportunities to enjoy the skiing and snowboarding events, while still enjoying some peace and quiet during dinner time.
Whistler Village Park Vacation Rentals
Fifteen developments makeup Whistler Village North, each within walking distance of Whistler Village – depending on your level of comfort for walking – ranging from a 5 to 10 minute walk to as much as 20 minutes.

Vacation Rentals North of Whistler Village North
Located on the north side of Lorimer Road, there are several developments that offer you the silence of Whistler's mountain fresh air. If you came to Whistler for a relaxing get-a-way in a mountain resort, then perhaps a vacation rental away from the hustle and bustle of Whistler Village and Village Park is more suited to your needs. With easy access to Whistler's Valley Trail or a walk along Fitzsimmons Creek, vacation rentals in Montebello or Glaciers Reach provide you with easy access to outdoor adventures while enjoying a peaceful holiday.

It took many months of research to finally figure out that the problem was with CleanSweep. A program called CSInject that CleanSweep runs in the background causes this printing problem. So using MSConfig I disabled this program.
Symantec's website acknowledged that this was a problem but provided no solution other than to disable it. So for over a year I was not able to take advantage of a program which I had paid good money for.
Now I see that the latest version of CleanSweep has fixed this problem. But Symantec refuses to provide me with a free copy of the new program to compensate me for my trouble and the fact that I never got what I paid for.
Instead they say I should have contacted them for a refund within the first 60 days. But with all the new things I had to learn about my computer in the first 60 days, not to mention all the time it took to finally figure out that it was their program that was causing my problem, this was impossible. So beware, Symantec sucks and will rip you off if you let them.

When I got my car back a week later after the paint job was done, I noticed there was a dent on the passenger side door before leaving. I talked to Kevin about it before I left Touch N Go and he said he would look into it. I was so upset, I just had my drivers side door fixed and now the passenger side door has a dent in it. It took them over a week to complete the work; originally they told me it would only take 2 days so I also had to pay more than 210 for a rental that was only supposed to be 60 for two days...
After calling Kevin 5 times during the course of a week and then talking to Larry his father they told me that they would fix the dent for 860.00. At this point, which was two weeks later from when I picked up the car from them; I took the car to another body shop to get a second opinion on the cost of the new dent in the passenger side door. While they took a look at the car they noticed ripples and what looked to be an orange peel look on the drivers side door that Touch N Go Collision repaired and painted for me two weeks earlier. I never saw it because I didnt know what to look for on a body and paint repair until I was educated.
I went back to Touch N Go Collision, Kevin and Larry looked at the driver side door that they repaired and painted and I got a rude response saying that I must have done something to make it ripple and have that orange peel look. They also proceeded to tell me that the dent was already there, when they were the ones that checked the car for any previous dents their selves.
I am not getting any more work done by Touch N Go Collision, I have paid 1200 for my door to look like an orange peel and also inherited a new dent from Touch 'N Go Collision that is going to cost me around 600 to 700 which is less than what Kevin told me they would fix it for. So, needless to say I probably over paid for a bad paint job too from Touch N Go Collision.
I will NEVER recommend Touch N Go Collision Center Inc to anyone in Carmel, IN. There are no pros to list here. So I will go ahead with the cons:
1. Bad Customer Service
2. Terrible work and not worth the money paid
3. The work was not done on time
4. Received another dent that is costing me more money
If you are planning to use a body shop I would use a reputable body shop like (((competitor's name redacted))) in Fishers, IN. If you take one look at the facility compared to a shady looking place like Touch N Go Collision, you will see the difference. Borkowski also came highly recommended by many of the car dealerships and insurance companies in the area. DONT BECOME THE NEXT VICTOM OF Touch N Go or should I say GET A DENT N GO FROM US
(((competitor's name redacted)))
10395 Hague Road, Fishers, IN
(((phone number redacted)))
I wish I knew about Borkowski Collision Repair before, it would have saved me a lot of time and money.
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company, ..plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome. CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report. In this case we removed an alleged competitors name

I have been a touch n go client for more than 4 years. Our cars have always turned out very good as far as quality job.
Inspecting both cars today no changes etc. On one of our cars they came in below estimate. this helped pay my deductable.
The complaint looks suspicous with red flags.
Mentioning a competitor to touch and go makes this report one the most blatently false reports I have ever seen on a review site.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

1. I dropped my car off to be repaired at Touch N Go Collision Center, Inc in Carmel, IN. The drivers side door was supposed to be painted, when I left my car with them. They checked the car for any previous dents before I left. When I got my car back a week later after the paint job was done, I noticed there was a dent on the passenger side door before leaving
a. Every vehicle is checked in before and checked out after repairs.
i. Photos are taken of every part of the vehicle.
ii. All prior damage is noted and logged under a customers file.
iii. If prior or additional damage is found, we ALWAYS contact the customer to see if they would like us to repair the additional damage!
iv. NO payment is collected until the customer picks up there vehicle and is satisfied. That is why we dont collect payment.
2. All vehicles are given an Estimated Release Date.
a. We are 85% efficiency meaning that 85% of the time we meet the estimated time of delivery.
b. Sometimes there are additional things that happen to delay repairs such as; Part delays, Insurance Inspections, Additional Damage found ect
c. Each customer signs an authorization form. This form explains that there could be additional repair times.
3. I went back to Touch N Go Collision, Kevin and Larry looked at the driver side door that they repaired and painted and I got a rude response saying that I must have done something to make it ripple and have that orange peel look.
a. We have NEVER had a return for paint. If we ever do, the paint we spray (Sherwin Williams Automotive) is warranted by the manufacture.
b. Orange peel and happen on vehicle if the vehicle is not prepped right and the pain that is sprayed has low pressure. None of which happens at Touch N Go. Our techs are I-Car trained and certified.
4. This person never stated the vehicle that was s repair and or the date or the Repair number.
In summary, we are a victim of cyber fraud. This report is NOT true! Anyone, including our competitor can write anything they want to get a competitive edge. We are not perfect, there are mistake that we have made. That is why we warranty everything! Each customer is given a written warranty. We are a small family business that takes pride in what we do. GREAT customer service and quality repairs are very important to us because our business is built on repeat customers and word of mouth. In the 15 years we have been in business, we have held a 98% positive customer feedback. To find accurate review on us, check out Angies List or the BBB.

Is Ronny Cedeno an upgrade?
Over the weekend there have been a couple reports out of Venezuela saying that shortstop Ronny Cedeno has signed with the St. Louis Cardinals. When given an opportunity to comment on it this weekend, Cardinals GM John Mozeliak said that the team wasn't going to make any baseball related announcements this weekend out of respect for Stan Musial and his family. In other words, a subliminal "yes." But is Ronny … Continue reading

Motte avoids arbitration
The Cardinals announced yesterday that they had avoided arbitration with their closer Jason Motte. The deal, a two-year deal buying out his final arbitration year, is worth $12 million plus incentives. After making just $1.95 million last year, Motte filed for $5.5 million in arbitration while the Cardinals filed at $4.5 million. But everyone knew that while this year would be a relative bargain at either of those prices, next … Continue reading

"It's going to be long," he said. "It's going to be expensive." That was a quote from John Mozeliak in regards to an extension for Cardinals' starting pitcher Adam Wainwright. News about a potential extension for the team's star pitcher started coming out over the weekend at the annual Winter Warmup festival. The two sides began preliminary discussions near the end of last season and have continued to have a … Continue reading

In the paste above is the code for the template running the CPT archive page at http://www.m.angiemeekerdesigns.com/totd
Everything about the page is working as expected except the pagination. What would like to happen is that when "Next Page" is clicked, Page 2 and forwards show the next posts from the CPT archive that were not also shown in one of the two loops on the first page.
SO, I would not like for the first loop to repeat on subsequent pages, and I do not want subsequent pages to have the first post offset, and since there are 11 total posts on page 1 of this archive, I'd like the next page to not show those first 11 posts.
Right now what is happening is that it is not showing the first loop (good), it is not offsetting the first post (good), but it is showing all 11 posts from the first page - for page 2 and every page after.
Can this archive be corrected to paginate as I'd like? I have read MANY other posts and the codex on pagination for loops, and multiple loops (that's how I got to what I have), but alas, what I have is not working.

Gold Star Luminary Initiative
Gold Star Family Day: September 25, 2016
The mission of the Gold Star Luminary Initiative is to promote awareness of Gold Star Family Day and urge organizations and individuals in communities throughout the United States to light luminaries at dusk on the last Sunday of each September in honor of our fallen heroes.
For the Families of our Fallen Heroes
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
—John 15:13 (NIV)
It could be argued that an even greater love does exist; that of a parent for their child. Tragically, in the last decade, almost 7,000 families have been forced to deal with the utterly devastating heartbreak that accompanies that love as their children laid down their lives for their country.
Most of us have not experienced this tragedy. Most of us never will. We can't relate personally or begin to imagine what that must be like. What we can do, however, is honor and recognize these families. We can thank them for the sacrifices they and their children have made on our behalf. We can let them know that, no matter what, we support and stand behind them as a country and that, if even just for a day, their burden is our burden too.
Gold Star Family Day is September 25, 2016
We ask that you light a luminary on Gold Star Family Day. Please pledge your support of this special day and encourage your community to light luminaries, honoring members of all branches of the service, including those who have lost the fight after struggling to reintegrate into civilian life. Our goal is to have as many communities as possible in each state support the families of our fallen heroes. There is power in numbers and together we can show Gold Star families that we are a grateful nation.
We are so grateful for the amazing event you planned for Gold Star Family Day. The loss and pain will always be there, but to be reminded of why our fallen heroes sacrificed so much, is very meaningful. Thank you.
-The Family of Sergeant Phillip Anderson

No No No No No.
The rules are there and they for the most part work. There are many many flaws in sinbinning in football.

But there are also many things that can be gained from it as well
In rugby union if a specialist position is yellow carded ie a prop, then when it comes to the next scrum the team down to 14 men have to replace another player with a prop. That replaced player stay off for the duration of the sin bin as well. Does that help?
The other David The other David Feb 12, 2009 04:35 Flag
I agree with you in a sense. Yellow card offences could carry a "sin bin penalty " which would doubtless hurt the team, being a player down for a certain period of time. I assume you'd still have the second yellow card meaning a sending off offence as it would then constitute a red card?
It would make the referees job harder, but we don't like them anyway.
It might stem the behaviour of teams that like to rough up opponents too. I remember one game where Man Utd received 7 yellows in the game. They may have had 3 or 4 players in the "sin bin" at one time, so it might help clean the game up a little
- 1 Reply to The other David
may be a good idea for back chat but to say for a foul that most of the time the ref gets wrong would be harsh.. and how would you monitor a goalkeeper as the team would just replace him with another dont think it would work
good point.......

E3 2011: Tomb Raider Demoed on Stage During Microsoft Presser
Written Monday, June 06, 2011 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Crystal Dynamics have just left the Microsoft E3 presser stage after showing off a bunch of gameplay footage for the Tomb Raider reboot. Blimey, it looks good.
The demo opened with Lara suspended upside down, wrapped in a caccoon of what looked like bandages. Swinging from side to side she was able to light her trappings by bumping into a some flames, sending her crunching to the floor.
She then had to yank a splintery bit of wood from her side in a QTE event. They weren't joking when they said this one was going to be grittier.
There were more QTEs throughout the demo as her mystery enemy grasped at her ankles.
Later, after spluttering her way through flooded tunnels, Lara was able to use a Arkham Asylum-style Detective Vision. This enabled her to identify the tools needed to work out the puzzles in the game. Cool.
After doing just that to send a flaming cart bashing through a closed gate, our favourite British adventurer climbed to the top, only to emerge just seconds before the tunnel collapsed.
Coming out at the top of a cliff, the scene that greeted her was familiar from the screenshots. Wrecked ships, both old and new, littered the shore.
It looks pretty amazing.
We'll have more on Tomb Raider later in the week. You are welcome to channel all of your hatred towards Dan and Rich, who are there right now.

The Woman in Black
by Susan Hill
Sam Daily
Character Analysis
To Arthur, Sam Daily is a country bumpkin—so it makes sense that he's introduced as a "big man, with a beefy face and huge raw-looking hands, well enough spoken" (3.13). Notice that "well enough"? Arthur isn't about to admit that anything in this forsaken place is "good": it's just good enough.
But good or just good enough, Sam is friendly. Even though Arthur first dismisses him as just another country bumpkin, Sam becomes Arthur's greatest ally in the story. He's loyal and keeps an eye out for Arthur even when Arthur is unaware that he needs watching over. He even gives up his little dog.
"Take her," he said, "bring her back to me when you are done."
"Will she come with me?"
"She'll do what I tell her." (8.48-50)
(Literary analysis pro tip: if someone has a nice, friendly dog, that's almost always—we'd say 98% of the time—a clue that they're a good person. We can't vouch for real life working that way, unfortunately.)
He doesn't try to change Arthur's plans; he doesn't throw a fit and tell him that he can't go back to Eel Marsh House at all. He doesn't even tell him about the whole story of Jennet Humfrye at first. But he does have a keen eye on Arthur and tries to do whatever he can for him. When Arthur is at his lowest, he appears like a big, red savior:
I found myself lying, propped up on the couch in the morning room, with the large, red, concerned face of Mr. Samuel Daily looming over me. In his hand he held a pocket torch, with which, I realized, he must have been peering into my eyes, in a crude attempt to arouse me. (11.2)
In a village full of suspicious, closed-mouth locals, Sam is definitely Arthur's lifeline. And we bet he's pretty popular down at the local pub, too.

A new social movement is rising up in our country out of years of outrage, heartbreak, pain and anger at trying to make ends meet while CEOs and billionaires whistle all the way to the bank.
The extreme wealth gap has locked young people out of the promise of the American Dream for a good education and a decent job in a sustainable future, and consigned children to poverty.
"We are the 99%" "Tax the Rich" and "Jobs Not Cuts" are rallying cries that can be heard from Wall Street to K Street and in public squares from coast to coast.
At the Take Back the American Dream conference held in Washington, D.C. this month, a multi-racial gathering of grass roots folks from Wisconsin and Ohio, Montana and Oklahoma, Arizona and Alabama and all parts of the country hammered out their priorities, embraced Occupy Wall Street and wove together the largest social movement in recent times to Rebuild the Dream.
The impact of this movement on the 2012 elections can determine the future direction of our country. Will decades of corporate-driven policies aimed at limiting the role of government and leaving people "on your own" be rejected? Or will extreme, reactionary anti-union, racist, dog-eat-dog policies have their day?
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., echoed many others at the conference when she said, "Our country is at a crossroads, and we are at the frontline of a battle for our future. Our agenda is patriotic, true and practical. It is supported by the majority in the country. We need to inspire participation everywhere".
The newly born American Dream Movement includes MoveOn with five million members, the AFL-CIO with 12.2 million members, SEIU with 2.1 million members, U.S. Student Association representing over four million students at 400 campuses, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights including over 200 organizations, and many long-standing women's, immigrant rights, LGBT, peace, environment and pro-democracy groups.
This movement emerges out of the epic battles in Wisconsin and Ohio to preserve union rights and collective bargaining for workers. It emerges out of an intensive summer of organizing and pressure on members of Congress for jobs not cuts, including the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Progressive Caucus jobs hearings and listening tours, and the roll out of the Contract for the American Dream.
A dramatic new dimension was added in September when anger at the bailouts of financial institutions who then foreclosed home mortgages and laid off workers erupted into Occupy Wall Street spreading to many hundreds of cities and towns.
"These are challenging and controversial times," said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., " The Tea Party in Congress is playing with democracy. Our movement is about taking back democracy."
Instead of being intimidated by the charge of "class warfare" the new movement understands that it is vicious corporate class warfare that the people of the country are up against.
"Bring it on," said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka to a roar of applause. "We are facing pain, loss and reversal of progress. We the people are angry," he said placing the challenge, "Where will the anger go? Extremism? Or to build a future?"
Trumka called for "a massive movement for jobs to turn the country right side up," saying, "What unites us is so much greater than anything that divides us."
The Contract for the American Dream reflects what a majority of people in the country support according to polls: large scale job creation to put people to work and meet community needs, funded by taxing the rich, ending the wars and bringing the money back to aid municipalities.
"These are majority opinions," declared Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., "Get into every nook and cranny of the countryside and organize."
While alienation from the entire political system is often expressed by the Occupy participants, that alienation is more specifically a rejection of the influence of money in politics and the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United establishing "corporate personhood."
Sitting out the elections would be completely self-defeating. Without bringing the power of the movement to bear on the elections, and inspiring millions to overcome voter suppression, the vicious corporate class warfare taking place now will only get worse.
It is clear that the Republican leadership, in their quest to defeat President Barack Obama, is determined to block job creation and any other social legislation that is on the side of working people.
The American Dream Movement describes itself as "people powered independent politics for hope and change." The conference set a goal of recruiting 2,012 American Dream candidates in the 2012 election cycle, and recruiting one million people to take on leadership responsibilities to build the movement.
Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., who chairs the Red to Blue Caucus expressed optimism that with a lot of hard work and sticking together, 25 seats in the House can be won and control of that body can be changed.
"Take off your high heels," she said. "We have work to do. The bankers walked away with everything...No district must be left untouched to flip the script of the Tea Party controlling 20 percent of Congress. What's at stake is the generation in front of us."
The mass street action of the movement is interconnected with the elections. Each needs the other to meet the goals of standing up for the 99% against the economic divide and record inequality.
There will surely be attempts to split and divide. But sticking together, youth protesting for their right to a future, joined with the labor movement, civil rights, peace and social justice, can rescue democracy in our country. This new social movement has the capacity to take us beyond what has been possible and open the door for new dreams toward equality and people before profits.
