Norwich band plays for ObamaJanuary 22,2013
The Norwich University Regimental Band represented Vermont on Monday at President Barack Obamas inaugural parade in Washington, D.C.
The 55-member Northfield-based unit marched the 1.6-mile route down Pennsylvania Avenue to reach the White House shortly before 6 p.m., at which time it played the National Emblem March, composed a century ago by Vermonter E.E. Bagley.
It was a long day and a little nappy, but everything went smoothly, the bands director, Lt. Col. Todd Edwards said by phone after the event. What an honor it was to perform for the president.
The oldest collegiate band in the country, the Regimental Band founded in 1823 has traveled to the swearing-ins of presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. It is set to return to the state today.

Your confidence will see you through. You don't need good luck. I do wish you well on an even speedier recovery than you anticipate. Take care.
Tomorow morning im going for major surgery for wich the dr estimates a 6-8 week recoup time.
I fully intend to be the one that leaves them in shock and awe, muttering things like..."but but but..nobody heals that fast....when did you get your surgery again?"
Ive spent the last year eating mostly primal (and lost about 50 lbs without trying as i changed my way of eating primarily to get healthier), ive spent the last month going the extra mile to give my body all the nutritional help i could possibly stuff in my mouth and staying as stress free as possible.
So this here thread where i prove the human body is capible of healing and repairing much faster and better than CW gives it credit for given the proper tools to work with and minimizing the toxins and crap that starve the body of the nutrition it wants.
And no...i will not be eating the hospital food...exspecially the beef....
Hubby will be bringing me my meals post surgery, all primal, highly nutritious real food (and venison bone broth ) bottled water(dont trust their water..it taste ..odd....) and some supliments to help offset the damage and stress put on the body when undergoing surgery.
Wish me luck
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
Your confidence will see you through. You don't need good luck. I do wish you well on an even speedier recovery than you anticipate. Take care.
good luck, extra protein and enough rest and stay positive
When I'd had enough of the grain and starched based 'diabetic eating for health' diet (eating for health, my ass!) my weight was 242.5 lbs. On starting primal- 18th April 2013 weight : 238.1.
27th July 2013. weight after 100 days 136.9 weight lost 101.2lb ; that's 105.6lbs since I stopped the 'diabetic eating for health'
new journal http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum...ml#post1264082
You will shock and awe. The doctors are telling you what the typical patient experiences. You do not live like the typical patient.
Best wishes for success and a very speedy recovery!
Good luck! I'm interested to see how your healing process goes
Depression Lies
Well so far so good, they let me go home today after surgery tuesday (sub-hystorectomy and removal of some very large fibroids)
Dr seemed pretty suprised at just how well the surgery went and well i was doing afterwards. Unlike the other people in the ward i looked pretty good, hubby said just a lil bit of dark circles under eyes when he saw me directly after surgery and looked my usual self by the next day
Bikini line insision looks a lot better than i exspected, hardly any bruising/puffyness at all and im not having any problem getting up and walking about etc .
Lots of meat, duck eggs, yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, coconut water and bone broth so far. Hubby was good and brought me food cause the hospital food is nasty nasty slop that i wouldent touch for anything.
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
Pleased it went well and you're home already. That I believe is a major factor in healing - being happy in your surrounding!!!
Good Luck!
I had the same surgery done a year or so ago and experienced no post surgery pain and was released the next day. The nurses and doctor couldn't believe how well I was doing.
Isn't Primal wonderful?
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
That's great to hear. A surgeon who is also board certified in plastics or at least cares about the scar s/he leaves is a godsend.

The e-mail, from a Shore pizzeria, came right to the point:
"While we respect your opinion about our restaurant, we did not appreciate the language used to describe our establishment. 'Tastes like it needs a Juliet, or love from somebody' — this comment was quite unnecessary or uncalled for.
"Last time we checked, you were a reporter not a comedian. Such comments aren't helpful because it gives the impression of having an agenda against us. Our customers are appalled about your comments that they feel your tongue needs surgery (because you have difficulties tasting real Italian food).''
The Pizza Patrol's nearly six-month-long quest to pick Jersey's best pizza wasn't all love and roses.
The above e-mail was typical of those from pizzerias that received lackluster reviews. The Munchmobile driver — who's been Italian all his life and would seem to know what "real" Italian food tastes like — received the brunt of the criticism, but other Pizza Patrol members were not spared. A reader from Garwood wondered why Gina Bruno was on the team since she didn't seem to like anything. A reader from Parsippany thought we should be "disbanded" because we were trying to "hurt" business owners and because it wasn't clear that the reviews were opinions.
We received thousands of e-mails and phone calls, most of them recommendations about pizzerias to visit (sorry we couldn't get to them all!). Others were supportive of our mission.
"The best aspect of your Pizza Patrol is your willingness to call a mediocre pie mediocre," wrote David Machlowitz. "Thank you for your candor."
DAY ONE: The world's most popular food? Pizza!!
DAY ONE: Pizza through the ages: A pizza timeline
DAY ONE: Best pizza in New Jersey: One nation under cheese
From the beginning our mission was clear: Visit pizzerias all over New Jersey, sample three pies at each, and give our honest opinion. For the first time in state pizza history — in any state's history, we were told by industry observers — a team of impartial tasters would visit and review hundreds of pizzerias in a short period of time.
We wouldn't take the easy way out: Pick 10, 20 or 25 pizzerias from reader suggestions, visit them, and anoint them the best in the state.
Our original goal was 100 pizzerias. That was bumped to 150. Then 200. Then 250. Then we decided to stop at 333 and re-visit our first pizzeria (in this case. Michael's Pastaria in Nutley), which would give us exactly 1,000 slices. It took us almost six months.
Our journey was both food odyssey and a road trip that never seemed to end. We hit big cities and major highways, small towns and back roads, and the scores of place names chronicle a Jersey most of us never see: Carmel. Gloucester City. Clayton. Three Bridges. Mount Freedom. Carneys Point.
Our northernmost stop was Candy's on Route 206 in Montague, where a sign proclaimed the first — and last pizzeria — in New Jersey. Our southernmost stops were several in Cape May, where we are still trying to find good pizza. At one point, we were within walking distance of the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Once, we stopped at a truck stop and tried on furry winter hats of undetermined animal origin.
The silly moments got us through the summer, fall and winter.
We started as seven, but three of our number — Jeff Burnett, Joan Dwyer and Marty Schneider — couldn't go the distance because other obligations and, well, life, got in the way.
Bruno, a schoolteacher in Edison, would describe the experience as a "six-month dinner date."
Alex Windrem, a commercial sales representative for Viking Pest Control, remembers telling his wife, Barrett, pregnant with their first child, that the Pizza Patrol would be done by September "at the latest."
When the pizza sampling continued into October, and November, and December, Windrem would describe it as "the Groundhog Day of pizza eating."
For team member Scott Wiener, visiting hundreds of Jersey pizzerias was the latest addition to an already impressive pizza resume. Wiener, an Elizabeth native, runs Scott's Pizza Tours in New York City, which offers bus and walking tours of the city's pizza landmarks.
One of Wiener's favorite Pizza Patrol memories was the night the Munchmobile found itself in Newton. We were cruising down a street when a woman suddenly materialized out of the darkness. "The Munchmobile!" she said, delighted. "I have been reading about you for years and now here you are!"
She proceeded to inform us there was no good pizza in Sussex County (we did find several worthy places).
"We constantly ran into fellow pizza enthusiasts along the way," Wiener recalled. "The beautiful thing is that nobody's wrong when it comes to a food with as much culture and variation as pizza."
Our mission sounded glamorous at first, but it turned out to be hard work. Weekends and holidays were sacrificed. Days were long. The Munchmobile driver got to know the Cheesequake, Monmouth and Forked River Parkway rest stops quite well; he often needed to pull over and sleep on the long ride home.
Through summer, fall and winter, the Pizza Patrol kept eating, filling one notebook after another with details.
"Sometimes the nights would go pretty quiet but others were quite loud," Bruno said of the Pizza Patrol's evening forays. "It was either that we were suffering from cheese overload or just enjoying each other's company."
Might have been a little of both.
"By the end," Windrem said, "my baby didn't recognize me, my dog wouldn't play with me and my wife would complain that I smelled like sausage."

The new motion picture, The Book of Eli, is still filling up movie theaters.
The Bible is at the center the post apocalyptic film. But there is some debate about whether it's a Christian film.
Actor Denzel Washington portrays Eli, a man who survives a world war and holds the one remaining Bible. Eli is on mission to protect the book as he takes a 30 year westward walk across the country.
"Well, I am very happy of the high regard in which it holds the Bible and for that I am like, 'Yeah, you did a good job on that,'" said Bob Waliszewski, Focus on the Family's film critic.
However, Waliszewski says that is also where the movie's good job ends.
"It doesn't stack up for any audience in my opinion, because of one particular harsh profanity, which is voiced over a dozen times," he explained. "And the violence I felt was over the top as well."
At several points in the film, there is gunfire, explosives and fights scenes that resemble the wild, wild west.
Despite the violence, some have called The Book of Eli, a Christian film. But Washington, who is also the son of a preacher, has said he wouldn't describe it as such. Instead, he'd call it a spiritual film.
"I would agree with Denzel," said Waliszewski. "And even Washington's character doesn't always act out as this man of God that he is supposed to be. There is one point that he tears this guys arm off. He warns him."
And that's a warning about whether this film is worth seeing.

Tiny gain forecast for O.C. home prices in yearJuly 16th, 2012, 10:00 am by Jon Lansner
Veros Real Estate Solutions predicts that Orange County home values will squeak out a tiny gain the the next 12 months.
Eric Fox of Santa Ana-based Veros says the company's model showing Orange County home value rising 0.7 percent by June 2013.
Fox notes that local inventory of homes for sale is down approximately 35 percent from the peak, "which is going to allow pricing to begin to trickle upwards. However, before significant price increases can occur, inventory must decline some more. Affordability, although better than it has been in a long time, is still pricey compared to many other markets which are recovering more significantly at this time."
Orange county will fare slightly better than the national market, by Veros' forecast. U.S. values will fall 0.26 percent in a year, by Veros' estimates.
"Overall, the gradual recovery in the housing market is forecast to continue from the previous quarter," Fox said. "We are definitely seeing a flattening for the first time in years at a national level instead of overall depreciation, which is a positive sign that the anticipated recovery is upon us."> Read the rest of this entry »

Ok first this is a start up bio stock like Biogen was back in 1994 when it traded for .64 cents. Second it is trading toward the bottom of the chart for only pennies on the dollar. The company is in Phase 2 trials for the treatment or cure of cervical cancer and if the science works this same technology might be used to treat lots of other forms of cancer!
As a clue to how the trials might be going just two weeks ago ADXS hired the former VP of ImClone yes that's the same guy that helped ImClone seal the deal with a major buyout by a big pharma company! He is now our new VP. Then we won the following just this past year;
Vaccine Industry Excellence Award 2012 winner "Best Therapeutic Vaccine"
The World Vaccine Congress & Expo is now in its 13th year and is the biggest and most comprehensive event for the industry.
Over 60% of our attendees come from the world's leading pharma and biotechs.
Combining a high level conference with a focused exhibition and adding in guaranteed meetings with targeted buyers in a 1-2-1 Partnering format makes this event the one must-attend event for the whole vaccine market.
This just might prove to be the hottest bio stock of 2013!
Best of luck to you no matter what your invested in I personally hope you make one billion this year alone!

Photos of Harmon & Gardner Go Viral
September 11th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
It was really cool to see Michigan QB Devin Gardner honor the great Tom Harmon against Notre Dame last Saturday by wearing the Wolverine legend's No. 98. It was even cooler that Gardner had a game that would have made Harmon proud, accounting for 376 total yards and five TDs in his team's 41–30 win.
Now there's this: A Redditor who pointed out the eerie similarities between a photo of Harmon during the final game of his Heisman Trophy-winning season in 1940 — during which he also accounted for five total touchdowns in a 40–0 beatdown of archrival Ohio State — and a photo of Gardner from Saturday night.
If you're a Wolverines fan, there's no way you stare at the photos below without getting chills.

By Lloyd Gray/NEMS Daily Journal
In the waning months of Haley Barbour's administration, politics watchers speculated about how his presence might still be felt after he left office.
Little did they imagine just how much and how quickly.
Phil Bryant was inaugurated as Barbour's successor Tuesday, but the overshadowing story of the week was the outgoing governor's pardon barrage. It was truly one of the most perplexing political developments in Mississippi in years, and it almost immediately turned into a national story.
It gave Barbour's longtime political nemesis and the state's only Democratic statewide elected official, Attorney General Jim Hood, an opportunity to get in a few last licks as Barbour exited. Hood sought and got a judge to issue an injunction to halt release of the relatively small percentage of those Barbour gave outright or conditional pardons, based on the apparent lack of proper public notice under the state constitution. And he didn't hold back on the rhetorical jabs in the process.
Few Republicans, much less Bryant, could bring themselves to defend the pardons. The new governor promised he'd never do anything of the sort.
In releasing convicted murderers who lived and worked at the Governor's Mansion, Barbour did what other governors have done in the past. But the 200 or so outright and conditional pardons he issued – even if they mostly involved people already out of prison – were considerably more than the end-of-term norm.
Barbour issued a brief clarifying statement Wednesday night emphasizing that "more than 90 percent" of his decisions were based on recommendations of the Parole Board and that most of the affected people were no longer in jail. But that didn't calm the firestorm, so he called a news conference at the Ridgeland office of the law firm he just joined to explain himself further.
What came out of that was remarkably free of political spin, though there was some pushback at Hood. Obviously, Barbour had nothing to gain and a lot to lose politically with his actions. So even if he's through running for political office, why would he do something that would stir such anger and make some people remember his governorship less fondly?
Because these people, as heinous as some of their crimes were, deserved a second chance, he said at the Friday press conference. He'd seen inmate redemption in his own life experiences, and these people had demonstrated they were capable of a turn-around. It's the Christian thing to do, he said.
Agree with it or not, it was an extraordinary position for a politician – current or former, out of office or not – to take. For once, Barbour's vaunted political instincts weren't paramount. There was no way to make what he had done politically palatable, which suggests that his explanation was sincere.
The political result could well be some kind of limitation on future gubernatorial pardons. But there were no political explanations, just a personal statement from a usually masterful politician. That in itself made it a most unusual political event.

Uysal-Walker Archive of Turkish Oral Narrative
Drs. Uysal and Walker were Professors of English, at Ankara University and Texas Tech University, respectively. During 1961-1962 academic year, Dr. Walker and his wife, Barbara, were in Ankara to fullfil the requirements of the Fulbright Grant Dr. Walker was awarded. There, Walkers met Professor Ahmet Edip Uysal (See his bio). Shortly afterward work towards an Archive began, culminating in the Uysal-Walker Archive of Turkish Oral Narrative we know today. After the first ten years of fieldwork, in many villages, the task of organization and the need for a permanent place began occupying their thoughts. With these concerns in the background, the original Founders eventually donated their holdings to Texas Tech University in 1980.
The Uysal-Walker Archive of Turkish Oral Narrative webpage is already linked by major research universities from around the world, through their academic programs. Perhaps you would like to consider using the Uysal-Walker Archive of Turkish Oral Narrative in courses and also offer these works to the students by linking to the webpage.

The next time the 2012 presidential candidates get equal time on Monday night, they could be running their best two-minute drills.
SportsBusiness Journal, a sister publication of Sporting News, reports both President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney are interested in appearing on ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast on Nov. 5, the night before election day.
LINEMAKERS: Presidential election odds reveal clear favorite
According to SBJ, Obama and Romney likely would be interviewed by studio host Chris Berman at halftime of the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints. In addition, the campaigns for the Democratic incumbent and Republican challenger are interested in getting their candidates to appear on ESPN's most popular radio show, "Mike & Mike in the Morning."
It's a similar scenario to what played out before the 2008 election, when Obama and John McCain each recorded interviews with Berman that aired during a Pittsburgh Steelers-Washington Redskins MNF game. Obama and McCain also had a longer call-in interview on "Mike & Mike."
ESPN senior vice president and director of news Vince Doria told SBJ that although this year's interviews would again be lighthearted, Obama and Romney would both be asked to touch upon the hard-hitting issues about which sports fans are concerned.
"Maybe there are some questions about the safety issue in football, which might be appropriate to that platform," Doria said. "I want to get stuff that tries to spin forward a little bit and tries to look at things that our viewers are most interested in."
Obama, a longtime resident of Chicago, and Romney, born in Detroit, had their last of three national debates on Monday night—while the Bears were beating the Lions on ESPN's airwaves. Now the network is providing the candidates a final chance to score with voters.

Yesterday I went to update the apps on my iPhone 5, but when I clicked download it wouldn't work, leaving the ambiguous explanation, "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store." I waited out the night hoping this error was caused by a little bug that would work itself out – it didn't.
Turns out I had to sign out and back into my iTunes account.
To do this, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores, click on your Apple ID at the top, and then Sign Out. Sign in again and you'll be able to perform the update.
When I went to sign back in I was warned that enabling iTunes Match would replace all the music on my phone, but since that music was originally installed from iTunes Match, it didn't get deleted.

Better use XMedia Recode...
Value for money "1" because it's such a crap >:(
was a good program back in the day.. now the author locked it with "online DRM": after transcoding have finished it locks on 99% complete asking for Internet connection; All of the additional option menus require internet connection, built-in ads.
it's ridiculous considering that this program is basically a collection of already free/open-source tools.
v0.8.26.5566 was good. I was able to stream copy FLV to MP4 with no problem (lossless without the need to re-encode). The FLVs contain AVC Video and AAC audio so it is compatible with MP4. It was working perfectly. MediaCoder v0.8.26.5566 is excellent for doing that. The MP4s come out perfect with everything in sync and no loss of quality.
However, when I updated to v0.8.27.5570, copying the video and audio to MP4 did not work properly. MediaCoder reported "file successfully transcoded" but when I tried to play the produced MP4, nothing happened. Just a black screen even if I fast forwarded.
When I reverted back to v0.8.26.5566 it worked fine again, the produced MP4s play ok.
Also, when installing v0.8.27.5570 I noticed that it doesn't have the option to download and install in the video components section the extra decoders whereas in v0.8.26.5566 it did.
I tried to help out the developer by notifying him of this problem and submitted a bug report on their forum but got the runaround from Stanley the site Admin who replied: "FLV can't always be stream copied to MP4. You need to transcode as video format is not the same sometimes".
WTF? I already made it perfectly clear that v0.8.26.5566 can stream copy FLV to MP4 but v0.8.27.5570 can't. What the hell transcoding got to do with anything?
Serious problem!
Most encoders transcoded the progressive-segmented-frame videos into a real progressive output. However Mediacoder 0.8.22.5522 was the last version which could do it.
New versions encode them only in "MBAFF" scan , which is not a real progressive format. :(((
This is pretty advanced high quality all-in-1 converter with most of the key parameters one would want. Been using StaxRip before but it have been giving problems recently with WebM/AVI to MKV. MediaCoder handles it surperbly using x264 codec and with aac to ac3 conversion in sync too. I like the 2-pass feature for video for extra quality and various bitrate adjustments. It uses all cpu cores at near 100% which give it blinding speed. It's not for beginners as you have to have some encoding knowledge of what each available adjustment means and when to use them. I did not try the wizard. Good marks for the layout as all is presented on one screen and cleaner than StaxRip. Great work!!! Well thought out for a very difficult subject!!! imo :).
SVN encoing has a lot of bugs.
I use GPU ID (Windows gadget for GPUs) to monitor my GPU usage.
The new OpenCL mode of x264 cocec uses only 50% of the bandswitch of the cuda cores :(((
many formats as input and output
GPU support : I have used CUDA and intel quick sync
with intel quick sync, 1500 k average bitrate, Quality, profile high 4.1, direct3d 9:
I convert MPEG2 files to M2TS (H264 + AC3) at about 200 fps
quality acceptable. (better than CUDA)
This software doesn't support DXVA accelerated decoding of the source file. Freemake video converter can use DXVA deconding and CUDA encoding at the same time, which gives a superior conversion time for Freemake.
Mediacoder can't handle progressive segmented frame properly. The only way is the buy coreavc /corecodec to handle the progressive segmented frame problem. However in many situations the coreavc decoder is not usable in Mediacoder.
I wrote many many posts for the developer in their forum, but the developer is not really deal with the serious problems and deficiencies of the software.
I used to use and liked Quick Media Converter (being careful to avoid their Ask adware installations). Moving to Windows 7 64-bit I had difficulties installing QMC with its separate FFmpeg.exe download.
In the meantime I found MediaCoder - it is powerful, flexible - BUT not intuitive.
Took me quite a while of trial and many errors, but I have now managed to convert from MOV to MP4 and FLV; also MP4 to FLV - as well as being able to set/correct aspect ratios and custom bitrate.
MediaCoder is probably as versatile and flexible as QMC - and may be faster.
I discovered MediaCoder via a great comparison review at TechRadar
It is impossible to make the h264 cuda encoder working fine with AVS source scripts and there is also no documentation about the h264 CLI included in this tool or on mediacoder's website.
Otherwise, the video processing options are quite poor.
In short, i do not advice this software.
Badly designed adware, use something like handbrake or megui instead.
I like the CUDA support and the quality of the video. My main concern is the audio sync problem. I ran into several videos that went out of sync at the beginning or 20 minutes later into the encode.
I have not dealt with audio sync issues in years and the videos that did not sync well with this program had no problem in Freemake, Vidcoder or TMPGenc Mastering Works 5. If it wasn't for the audio sync issues I would have given this program a 8 or 9 rating.
The program does a respectable job of re-encoding the ts/mkv/m2ts files that I have thrown at it.
It does take some time to do the encoding...example: a 15gig sized 2 hour HD movie/file will take some 40+ hours to complete.
I can get by with the internet *nag* seeing as the op/sys I have installed this program onto has no internet access at all.
The one big bother I have with the program is the inability to recover and restart the encoding process from the point of where it left off if there is an unavoidable system shutdown (such as loss of power). The program can't search/find/see the temp file it has created and the user can't point the program to the partially finished temp file so as to resume the recode process without having to start the entire process over from the beginning.
This in my opinion needs to be rectified.
I have donated to this project, but it's finally reached the point where the program won't run under my XP X64 system any more. The "wizard" seems so bogged down that it just stays on the advertisement page and that's it. Uninstalled.
well I must deduce from overall score because recently this program become a nagware
and left and right ask you to go and see the benefit of buying the pro version and it
seems there is no way to stop this message
and sadly when this message is shown all trans coding will be stopped until you choose
yes or no
finally found the de-interlacing options. it's in the picture tab/effects tab. strange place but it's there.
where the heck did the de-interlacing options go?
also i need a way to correct source properties. the hdv files i use are 30p but show up as 30i.
If the software ever gets fixed so that it properly sets the aspect ratio selected in the GUI so that it can letterbox an MPEG, and if there's ever a user manual published, this would be great software. (Oddly enough MediaCoder for PSP and iPod works flawlessly for me.)
I've been trying to use this software since version 0.3 but with very little luck. I like the speed and general quality of the output file. However, I have never been able to get the aspect ratio to set properly when encoding to NTSC MPEG2 DVD. No matter what option I select the output video's aspect ratio is always 3:2. I've read through their forum for suggestions and presets for NTSC MPEG2 DVD, but I have yet to find a preset and none of the suggestions produce a usable file.
Nice tool, but, useless for two reason.
1) Always try to connect to host - online.
2) No AC3 Support.
There better tools out here rather than this!
the bug/missing feature has been fixed if you download the 4666 version from the mediacoder website. i don't know if the file hosted here has been.
big bug in 4660, the file/settings/ can't be changed at all by the user. the "value string" is completely missing.
this is a very good program; I give it 10/10 for what it can do BUT UNFORTUNATELY it is nagware; for those who want to use MediaCoder and forget about nags about update, splashscreen and visiting sponsors websites (all of that nags can supposedly be disabled but the sad truth is that it is completely impossible...) I strongly recommend progam ClickOff by johanneshuebner
It's an excellent video converter, but not too simple to use. Sometimes it gives some errors, but modifying some advanced parameters they can be solved. In particular you can try to see the encoder and decoder settings (they are on default with standart settings).

247Sports' No. 1 recruit in the class of 2015 has something in common with President Barack Obama. Both are products of the same high school in Hawaii.
Three quarterbacks received 5-star rankings, and all three are products of pro-style systems from the state of California. One, Josh Rosen, runs a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, according to 247Sports, and already has offers from Michigan, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, among others.
Thanks to the newly released Top247 for 2015, it's time to let the conversation begin.
No. 1 Recruit: Canton Kaumatule
He already has a good combination of strength, speed and technique, and if he keeps hitting the weight room and working on his fundamentals, Kaumatule could be a truly elite recruit.
He only has offers from Hawaii, UCLA and Utah, but that will change fast.
Note: Check out this preliminary analysis on the No. 1 recruit. All scouting done via tape study of film provided on his 247Sports profile page.
16 Initial 5-star recruits
The quarterbacks are Rosen, Ricky Town and Kevin Dillman. George Campbell, the lone wideout, checks in at 6'3'', 184 pounds.
Bleacher Report's assistant college football editor, Eric Bowman, took the time to tally the number of commitments in the initial top247. He posted his findings on Twitter:
In all, there are 11 committed recruits in @247sports 1st top 247 for class of 2015.— Eric Bowman (@E_ROCK12) May 22, 2013
Those commitments are:
Shameik Blackshear, 5-star WDE, to South Carolina
Mekhi Brown, 5-star SDE, to Alabama
Kevin Toliver II, 4-star CB, to LSU
Derwin James, 4-star S, to Florida State
Desherrius Flowers, 4-star RB, to Alabama
Deionte Thompson, 4-star S, to Alabama
Chad President, 4-star WR, to Baylor
Donovan Sheffield, 4-star CB, to Vanderbilt
Jordan Davis, 4-star TE, to Florida State
Christian Owens, 4-star WR,to Georgia
Avery Anderson, 4-star ATH, to Arizona State
(Note: Avery Anderson has since been left off the list.)
Of course, Alabama is leading the way, and the SEC has a dominant head start on everyone else.
Initial Thoughts
It's nice to see three quarterbacks receiving early 5-stars, especially with the lack of star power at the position in the 2014 class. A lot of hype will surround the three quarterback recruits, and their commitments will eventually be big news.
Defensive backs are noticeable by their absence at the top of the class. In fact, the first true defensive back to appear, 4-star safety Kerryon Johnson, is No. 31 overall.
Finally, the defensive line group looks stellar, and Kaumatule, in particular, has superstar potential once he gains more experience—in the weight room, film room and on the field.

Posted on 07/14/2012 10:36:38 AM PDT by Salvation
Contrary to what many fundamentalist preachers or late-night radio hosts would have you believe, biblical prophecy is not primarily about "predicting the future" or finding clues in the Bible that correspond to people or events in our own day and age! The prophets of Ancient Israel did not look into some kind of crystal ball and see events happening thousands of years after their own lifetimes. The books they wrote do not contain hidden coded messages for people living in the 20th or 21st centuries!
Rather, biblical prophets were mainly speaking to and writing for the people of their own time. They were challenging people of their own world, especially their political rulers, to remain faithful to God's commandments and/or to repent and turn back to God if they had strayed. They were conveying messages from God, who had called or commissioned them, rather than speaking on their own initiative or authority. However, because the biblical prophets were transmitting messages on behalf of God (as Jews and Christians believe), much of what they wrote for their own time is clearly also relevant for people living in the modern world. The overall message of faith and repentance is timeless and applicable in all ages and cultures.
To understand what biblical prophecy really is, let's look more closely at the origins, definitions, and uses of some key biblical words.
Biblical Vocabulary:
In the Hebrew Bible, the word for "prophet" is usually nabi' (lit. "spokesperson"; used over 300 times!), while the related feminine noun nebi'ah ("prophetess") occurs only rarely. Both words are derived from the root verb naba' ("to prophesy; to speak on behalf of another"). The root meaning of "prophet" is clearly expressed in several biblical passages, such as when God tells Moses, "See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet" (Exod 7:1). Aaron's role was not to predict the future, but rather to be the spokesperson or mouthpiece of Moses, who evidently did not wish to speak to Pharaoh directly (see Exod 4:10-17). Later, God also tells Moses, "I will raise up for [the Israelites] a prophet like you from among your own people; I will put my words in the mouth of the prophet who shall speak to them everything that I command" (Deut 18:18).
Two other Hebrew words (ro'eh and hozeh) are closely related, but usually translated "seer" rather than "prophet." The word ro'eh seems to be older, as explained in the Bible itself: "Formerly in Israel, anyone who went to inquire of God would say, 'Come, let us go to the seer' (ro'eh); for the one who is now called a prophet (nabi') was formerly called a seer (ro'eh)" (1 Sam 9:9). In contrast, hozeh seems to be a newer word, since it is used mostly in the Chronicles. All three words are used of three different people in 1 Chronicles 29:29: "Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the records of the seer (roeh) Samuel, and in the records of the prophet (nabi) Nathan, and in the records of the seer (hozeh) Gad." In other texts, nabi' and hozeh are practically synonymous and are sometimes even used for the same people.

In the biblical Greek of both the Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, abbreviated LXX) and the New Testament (originally written in Koine Greek), the word for "prophet" is profhthV (prophetes), which stems from two other words: pro + phemi. The verb phemi simply means "to speak." The preposition pro has many different possible meanings, depending on the context in which it is used; it can mean "before" (which is why many people think "prophets" are those who "speak before" something happens, thus "pre-dicting" it), but it can also mean "for" or "on behalf of" (which is why most biblical scholars insist that "prophets" are those who "speak on behalf of God"). Which of these two possible meanings is more appropriate should be judged from the actual usage in the Bible.

Prophetic Words:
A careful study of the hundreds of relevant texts shows that biblical prophets rarely speak about future events as if they were inevitable, but much more often transmit various kinds of messages on behalf of God to the people, conveying God's interpretation of the past, present, and future aspects of people's lives. Thus, a "prophet" in the Bible is primarily a "spokesperson for God," someone who receives messages from God and conveys them to other people. If a prophet speaks words that are not from God, he or she is considered a false prophet or sometimes called a prophet of another god (e.g. "prophets of Baal" in the OT).
The messages transmitted by the biblical prophets are not only or primarily about the future, but about the past and present as well. They provide interpretations--from God's perspective--about past events, present circumstances, as well as future possibilities. Note that I say "future possibilities" rather than "future events," because when biblical prophets speak about the future, it is usually not about what will inevitably happen, but rather about what might happen, depending on how people choose to react and act: whether they listen to the prophetic message and live their lives accordingly, or ignore the words of the prophets and suffer the consequences.
What can we learn from this story? At least one crucial point about the nature of biblical "prophecy," namely, that even when prophets speak about the future, they are not predicting an inevitable, unalterable future! Rather, they are warning people about a possible future that might come upon them if they continue in their evil ways and do not turn back to God. But if the people do listen to the prophet's message and react appropriately, with prayer, repentance, and faithfulness to God, then the future will look very different than what the prophet had foretold!
Of course, not all biblical texts make the conditional nature of the future so explicit; the two alternatives ("If you don't repent, here's what will happen; but if you do repent, then God will be merciful to you.") are not always clearly stated, but might remain implicit. Some texts may even presuppose that people will not repent, and thus will be punished for their wickedness; but if they do, even contrary to all expectations, then the disasters foretold by the prophets will not come about after all!
The role of biblical prophets as spokespersons for God, speaking God's words primarily to people of their own time (and only secondarily to people of future generations), can also be seen in the various "introductory formulas" found so often in the prophetic books of the Bible. The messages God wishes to convey through the prophets to the people are often preceded by some very familiar phrases:
Prophetic Deeds:
Moreover, when biblical prophets convey God's messages to the people, they do so not just in words but sometimes also in deeds, not just by speaking or writing, but also by performing various symbolic and/or miraculous actions. Examples are found throughout the Bible, esp. in the stories surrounding the prophets Elijah and Elisha in the books of Kings and in the book of the prophet Ezekiel:
Which books of the Bible are considered "prophetic"? The answer depends on which Bible you mean! Jews, Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians all use slightly different versions of the Bible, count different books among the "prophets," and arrange them in different orders in their respective Bibles.
So What?
The categorization of a biblical book can significantly affect how you interpret it, especially in the case of the Book of Daniel. Is this a "prophetic" book much like all the other prophets, as some Protestant Christians emphasize? Or is it somewhat "prophetic" but more accurately described as an "apocalyptic" book, as other Protestants and most Catholics maintain? Or is it not really "prophetic" at all, but rather belonging to a different literary genre that should be read differently, as most Jews agree?
Moreover, most biblical scholars emphasize that in order to interpret the writings of the biblical prophets properly, one must understand the historical context in which the prophets lived, since they were primarily addressing the people and political situations of their own day. To complicate matters, the canonical order of the prophetic books (how they are arranged in our Bibles) is not the same as the historical order (when they were originally written):
|Era / Century BCE
Prophetic Books [with other named Prophets]
|Pre-Monarchy (13th11th Cent.)
|Books of Moses, Joshua, Judges, beginning of 1 Samuel
|Early/United Monarchy (10th Cent.)
|1 & 2 Samuel, most of 1 Kings [incl. Nathan & Ahijah]
|Divided Monarchy (9th Cent.)
|rest of 1 & 2 Kings [esp. Elijah & Elisha]
|End of Northern Kingdom of Israel (8th Cent.)
|Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah 1-39
|End of Southern Kingdom of Judah (7th Cent.)
|Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, most of Jeremiah
|Babylonian Exile (597/587520 B.C.)
|some of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah 40-55
|Early Post-Exilic Restoration (late 6th - early 5th Cent.)
|Haggai, Zechariah 1-8; [also Ezra & Nehemiah]
|Persian Era (5th4th Cent.)
|Isaiah 56-66, Jonah, Zechariah 9-14, Obadiah, Joel, Malachi
|Hellenistic Era: Ptolemies (3rd Cent.)
|Daniel 1-6 (more prophetic)
|Hellenistic Era: Seleucids (early 2nd Cent.)
|Daniel 7-12 (more apocalyptic)
In addition to the prophets who have separate biblical books named after them (and who are sometimes also mentioned in other biblical books), quite a few other people are also called "prophet" or "prophetess" in the Hebrew Bible. Many of them are true prophets (who speak on behalf of the God of Israel), while some are false prophets (who serve other gods of other nations). Moreover, whole groups of prophets (lit. called "the sons of the prophets") appear in certain biblical stories. The following are some of the most important individuals referred to as "prophets" of God:
Although all of these prophets speak on behalf of God, rather than on their own authority, how they came to be prophets or when God first commissioned them for this role is only rarely narrated or alluded to in the Bible. The best know stories include:
False prophets, or prophets serving other gods, are sometimes also mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Several biblical texts mention explicit criteria for distinguishing true vs. false prophets (Deut 13:1-5; 18:20-22), while other texts name certain groups or individuals as false prophets:
On a more artistic note, see the woodcut illustrations of several of the prophets in the Doré Bible Gallery.
Most of the NT references to "prophets" (mentioned 144 times in the NT, 116 of which are in the Gospels and Acts) are to the prophets of the OT, either generically as a group or often explicitly naming individual prophets (esp. Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Elijah, but sometimes also Jonah, Daniel, Elisha, Joel, Moses, Samuel, and even King David!). Some NT passages speak of the role of prophets in general, such as when Jesus says, "Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward" (Matt 10:41).
In addition to these references to the ancient Hebrew prophets, the NT also refers to certain people of its own day as "prophets," including John the Baptist, Jesus, and many early Christian leaders, either individually or generically:
In addition to all these individuals who are named prophets, the gift of "prophecy" (Gk. profhteia / propheteia) and the action of "prophesying" (Gk. profhteuw / propheteuo) are very important in the life of the early Christian communities, as seen in various NT texts:

Studying the propheys Ping!
Oddly enough, most "fundamentalist preachers" don't teach this, either.
Studying the prophets Ping!
Nevertheless, a good foundational piece.
Most of the Book of Revelation is Prophecy future.
Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel and many of the other prophets
as well as the New Testament clearly define prophecy
that pertains to the end times, or the Day of the Lord, or in the last days, etc.
This egghead seems to be trying to create a problem where there isn't one.
It is unsurprising that a Catholic writer would deny the authenticity of the Bible. The Book of Daniel, for example, was written by Daniel during the Babylonian exile if one believes the scripture. Instead, it lists it as being written after Alexander, most probably since Daniel predicted the rise of Alexander and the splitting of his kingdom into 4.
Prophecy is indeed any message from God, but God gave to men also expectations of the future, of which Daniel's 70 weeks was one of the greatest and most exact. Jesus also predicted the fall of Jerusalem, which would not happen until 70ad.
Salvation, have you heard of the book "Isiah 9:10"? Read about it on Spirit Daily, kind of scary.
Homey likes the propheys!!! :)
I did not read the whole thing because it is too long but was the telling of Jerusalem being restored in the latter days for the people back then?
We saw it happen, and even those people who don,t from nothing about the scriptures can see it.
And also
Daniel 12
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
This world has seen at least 95 percent of the increase of knowledge in our life time.
People of my age saw their dads or even older brothers walking behind horses or mules and some even did it them selves.
The famous movie stars were getting from the pacific to the Atlantic on coal powered trains or in the old cars, an old hotel in Gallup new Mexico well knew most of the stars because they had to make two or three stops en route.
Only the better off people had electricity and running water in the west even in the 1940s
No tv until 1948 or 49 and that was just for a few and commercial airlines a little later.
I believe Danial was talking about the times we live in.
Actually more lies, half-truths, distortions and sophistry from the RCC cult.
Where did you get the idea that Catholics don't read/deny Daniel?
It's in my Catholic Bible. Are you sure you weren't talking about something else. Look closely. I was surprised by it too.
OK, second time through. Who doeos the writer say denies Daniel?
I don't see half truths or I wouldn't have posted it. Any specific?
Immediately after the section where it makes the point about when the books were written. It lists the book of Daniel, just as an easy example, as being written after Alexander's empire was split. It was written by Daniel during the Babylonian captivity.
Era / Century BCE
Prophetic Books [with other named Prophets]
Pre-Monarchy (13th11th Cent.) Books of Moses, Joshua, Judges, beginning of 1 Samuel
Early/United Monarchy (10th Cent.) 1 & 2 Samuel, most of 1 Kings [incl. Nathan & Ahijah]
Divided Monarchy (9th Cent.) rest of 1 & 2 Kings [esp. Elijah & Elisha]
End of Northern Kingdom of Israel (8th Cent.) Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah 1-39
End of Southern Kingdom of Judah (7th Cent.) Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, most of Jeremiah
Babylonian Exile (597/587520 B.C.) some of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah 40-55
Early Post-Exilic Restoration (late 6th - early 5th Cent.) Haggai, Zechariah 1-8; [also Ezra & Nehemiah]
Persian Era (5th4th Cent.) Isaiah 56-66, Jonah, Zechariah 9-14, Obadiah, Joel, Malachi
Hellenistic Era: Ptolemies (3rd Cent.) Daniel 1-6 (more prophetic)
Hellenistic Era: Seleucids (early 2nd Cent.) Daniel 7-12 (more apocalyptic)
This is a direct contradiction of the testimony of scripture.
As a survivor of years of Scholastic training at the hands of the Benedictines, I shall be happy to interpret Jesuitical writings for 50 Drachma per line, with a 50% surcharge if the line is in a dead language. 10% discount to FReepers, of course.
As far as "Fundamentalist" preachers go, I might, "Might," I say, be tempted to sincerely doubt that this august member of The Society of Jesus has actually ever listened to one. Rather he may be setting up the "Fundamentalist Preacher" as a theological 'straw man.'
One might find it a fairly good idea to always consult a Benedictine-trained chap such as myself, et cum grano salis, when trying to wade through the abstruse theological writings of our brothers, the Jesuits.
Pax Vobiscum
The Jesuits, formed by St Ignatius of Loyala, to spread the Gospel and then to stem the Protestant tide with the true Faith have wavered from their original calling. They've come a long Universalist Unitarian way, baby.
Well I'll say this for Fr. Just, S.J., Ph.D.: his article would probably get him lynched in Texas. St. Ignatius might be happy about that. But I catch your drift on the S.J.s in general. I sent one of my brighter kids to them and he came back somewhere to the Left of Trotsky and talks like Barbra Streisand.
Now about my brother ... who became a Unity minister ... splain that!
at least I can get you a deal on that bumper sticker.
They were challenging people of their own world, especially their political rulers, to remain faithful to God's commandments and/or to repent and turn back to God if they had strayed.
The folks I normally read and listen to are apt to point to the prophet's role as covenant messenger, pressing the suit of the great king (God himself, in this case) against his errant vassal people.
When you post at times I believe we have real hard core masons responding at times.

Heaven forfend if prophetic warnings of future events in the Bible itself are taken literally as (gasp!) prophetic warnings of future events.
We apparently are to instead look to odd, modern era "spiritual" emanations such as Fatima regarding future events, since these things ever so much more credible than the Bible.
. Who does the writer say denies Daniel?
Did you, in fact, miss those?
**This article is written by a proper Jesuit. **
And some other "off the bases" posters.
"Did you, in fact, miss those?"
As for Daniel never being called a prophet. Seeing as how he spoke to God, received answers, same as any other prophet, and received both advice on matters and visions of the future, sounds like he's a prophet.
Then Christ quotes Isaiah 13:10 in verse 24, But in those days *after* that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Then Christ quotes Isaiah 34:4, then Daniel 7:13, etc....,
The Gospel includes those as Peter called 'holy prophets'. Silly men/women snip and clip scriptures much like the scientific community devised their so called scientific methodology. And the longer I live the more I have observed the conjoining of religion of men in the same methodology some call science.
I think the author has called Christ Himself a fundie.
Through his (prodigious) nose with a Brooklyn accent?
Now about my brother ... who became a Unity minister ... splain that!
The writer of the post says Daniel was written in the 2nd and third centuries BC. Absolute nonsense. These claims for a late authorship of Daniel are just transparent attempts to explain away Daniel's incredible accuracy in predicting the rise of the Persian, Greek and Roman empires.
"The books they wrote do not contain hidden coded messages for people living in the 20th or 21st centuries!"
Really! Mr Author!
Daniel 12
12:9 "And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time.
12:10 Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand.
12:11 And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days.
12:12 Blessed is he that waitedth, and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
12:13 But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days."
I do not know about his specifics but nobody will truly understand until the end of days. We are near and dear very close. These passages and others like it it make more sense now than ever.
Especially in the book of Revelation a hundred million plus man army from the east will be a major event.
Right now we have 90,000 Chinese army and Russian army in Middle east.
I believe it is no coincede that China is called the Dragon which is in Revelation book. It is steeped in there culture.
From the fact that your beloved author lists it as a forgery?
I sent mys son to Holy Cross,
He came back a total loss.
O Holy Cross, O Holy Cross,
Where all they eat is apple sauce.
They eat it
Morning, Noon and Night,
They even eat it when they're tight,
O Holy Cross, O Holy Cross,
Where all they eat is applesauce.
Yes, he has le bec de Cyrano, the political dialog,but not the accent. It's just as annoying in any accent.
This just in from Unity
where the pastors receive a bonus for new members. "You are wrong about Islam, Ken. Mohammed (May Peace be Upon Him) was probably a very nice guy. You know, like Buddha, or St.Francis of Asissi... like that. He was cool."

I think I'll pass on receiving Biblical instruction from any member of a religion that does not acknowledge that all Scripture is God breathed, but rather places more emphasis on it's man-made traditions and rituals.
Where does it say that the prophets spoke of man made traditions?
They spoke the Word of God as warnings to the people of their day.
You certainly would not be referring the Last Supper and the Institution of the Holy Eucharist as man-made, would you? For the Holy Eucharist, as recorded in scripture, was instituted by Christ himself.
Whoa, dude...

You bet.

Cool huh? I wish somebody had put him on ice before he started the Religion of Hate.

Hello Everyone! I am an active DIYer that believes in sharing my projects with the world. Most of my projects revolve around restoring one thing or another, giving it a second chance at life.
I naturally have the handy man gene, but don't think I could of completed any of these projects without a little help from friends, forums, and a little ingenuity. I grew up in the Bay Area and Colorado, and have most recently moved to Chicago. My experience with DIY began with a beat up surfboard turned wave ripper. Ranging all the way to a complete motorcycle rebuild and customization. My projects are all hobbies and subjects close to my heart. If you have any suggestions for projects you would like to see please feel free to contact me.
Update (1/22/13): I currently rent workshop space in Chicago from a very bright and encouraging artist that allows me to utilize his space to make my projects come to life.
Why I build Kitchen Tables:
In addition to a full time job, volunteering at PAWS Chicago, and posting here I build kitchen tables in order to fund my projects. I am driven to build kitchen tables because of the family that gathers around them, the meals that are consumed on them, and the memories that are made in their midst. If you are interested in purchasing a table please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
