NASCAR The Game 2011 ReviewBy Kevin Kelly - Posted Apr 07, 2011
NASCAR racing returns to consoles with Activision's NASCAR The Game 2011, which is the first disc-based NASCAR title not associated with EA in many years. NASCAR fans will appreciate the attention to detail, but players looking for an arcade-style racing experience won't get that out of this title.
The Pros
- Great track presentations
- Proximity radar and visual draft are nice additions
The Cons
- Barely any damage
- Cars feel underpowered at times
- No rivalries or changing AI
NASCAR 2011: The Game Review:
NASCAR racing returns to consoles with Activision's NASCAR 2011: The Game, which is the first disc-based NASCAR title not associated with EA in many years. NASCAR fans will appreciate the attention to detail, but players looking for an arcade-style racing experience won't get that out of this title.
Start Your Engines! (Again!)
NASCAR's last console game experience came earlier this year in the form of Paramount Digital's fairly atrocious Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition on the PS3, which inexplicably was just Days of Thunder: Arcade on the Xbox 360. Only the PlayStation version had 12 NASCAR sanctioned tracks, and both versions were critically panned.
Prior to that, EA released NASCAR 09 back in 2008 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PS2, but then announced that they were abandoning NASCAR games because of slumping sales and popularity. NASCAR Kart Racing for the Wii back in 2009 was EA's last dalliance with the franchise. Now Eutechnyx, a developer who has worked on titles like Big Mutha Truckers, Total Drivin, and Le Mans 24 Hours, has stepped in to revive things.
Get Out Of My Dreams And Into My Car
NASCAR The Game 2011 wants the game to be all about presentation, and for the most part it does an admirable job with that. You'll start the game off by picking a driver from one of many current NASCAR drivers, including female drivers Danica Patrick and a generic racer with a helmet on, so you can pretend like you're in that driver's seat for real.
Once you've selected a driver, you can fine tune your car, mess around with paint schemes, practice, or jump into one of several different race modes. Single Player puts you in the car, with your choice of tracks to pick from, Online Multiplayer pits you against up to 16 other drivers online, and there's also a Split Screen mode if you want to race against a buddy. You can also try the Eliminator mode where after the first lap the racer at the back of each lap is eliminated. Your goal is to be the last car standing.
It's Not Just A Hobby
Most fans of NASCAR and players that are looking for more than a casual experience will jump into Career mode, which takes you through an entire 36 race season as you strive to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup by maintaining a lead with points throughout the year. You'll have the option to Qualify for each race (skipping this slots you at the back of the 43 car pack when the flag drops at race time), and depending on the difficult you've selected, you'll be racing either a truncated version of that race, or you can simulate the full set of laps if you desire.
For the most part, and because you might not want to spend hours in one race, racing a shortened version is the way to go. Unfortunately, that will preclude you from pitting your car, and it's entirely possible to race through an entire season without hitting the pits once. Especially if you have the damage set to "Cosmetic," but more on that later.
How Does She Feel?
Slipping behind the wheel and into a race or a qualifying lap for the first time shows you the different views available to you as you race. There's an in-cockpit view, a hood view, a trailing view, and a pulled back view where you can see your entire car, which was my position of choice. The cockpit view is admirable and features your driver up and downshifting, but it feels very limiting, especially when you don't know the track at all.
The cars are very responsive, and you've find that you barely need to nudge the wheel to steer. On the flipside, when you're moving at very lower speeds, like trying to back up or maneuver your way out of a crash, you'll become frustrated with the fact that you can't crank your wheels all the way over. Granted, that shouldn't happen often if you're a good driver, but there's a bonus lap you get if you finish in first, where you net points for fancy driving and spinouts. They're just hard to pull off.
All of the cars seem to accelerate equally as fast and top out around the same speed, no matter who you've selected, and there is a ton of emphasis placed on drafting. There's a draft meter square above the center of your view, and when you get close enough to a car in front of you, and you actually see the slipstream of the draft, almost as if the car in front of you is emitting wispy smoke trails. It's a very good visual representation of drafting, and shows you the optimal slot to be in. You can turn this on and off, but I found it very helpful. Draft long enough and you can slingshot around the car in front of you, or bump draft that… which nudges them faster, dragging you along in the process.
Rubbing Really Is Racing
As with most NASCAR titles, there's a lot of bumping and grinding in this game, and not in a sexy way. You're going to get tapped, bumped, pushed, nudged, and rubbed by other drives throughout each race, and more than once I found myself being spun around when someone else put me in a near perfect PIT maneuver. Either that, or the magnets that seem to be buried in each wall will pull me into the concrete while I'm trying to hardline a turn, and it will knock a lot off of your speed if you do that. The moral here is: Don't hit the wall. Ever.
You'll have a Rival marked in each race, but this just refers to someone close to you in the overall rankings. It doesn't mean that they'll try and take you out or constantly bump you as in the past NASCAR games with the Rivalry feature. It's just a reminder that someone might be inching in on your score, and you're going to want to be sure and beat them. Most drivers will take things fairly easy, except in extremely crowded packs near turns. But often you'll see the four or five lead cars all in a smooth line, each one drafting the next and they roar around the track.
How Have They Made This Fun?
NASCAR 2011 makes things a bit arcade-y by adding in a Proximity Radar that shows up on your screen and lets you know exactly where the cars are that are coming up behind you. It's a truly invaluable tool, and allows you to easily block overtaking racers. It can be toggled off, but it functions a lot better than a rear-view mirror, especially when you're using the behind car view which doesn't offer a mirror.
There's also the NXP feature, giving you NASCAR Experience Points for nearly everything you do in the game. Perform a clean pass, lead for a lap, and of course, win or place in the Top 5 or Top 10 in each race, and you'll gain points. These points rank you up eventually, and you'll unlock Invitational Events and promotional items like pins and coins as you progress. It's a neat feature for people looking to quantify their NASCAR experience, but it's not crucial to the game other than for bragging rights.
Oh No, I'm Crashing (Yawn)
Ironically, when you first load up this disc in your console, there's a cutscene that plays, showing you racing, rubbing, and culminating in a terrific crash. Spectacular, right? Well, not in the game. You can turn the damage in this title up to full and smash directly into another car at 188 miles per hour, and the only thing that will happen is that your bumper might get dented, and your hood will fly off. That's it. It's impossible to do real structural damage to your car.
You can affect the mechanics of your car, and crashing at high speed or rubbing the wall can result in blowouts and blown engines, but the default setting for racing in the mid-level difficulty is "cosmetic," which is scraped paint, slightly bent fenders, and lost hoods. It's just not satisfying to accidentally get into a horrific smashup, only to realize that everything is fine. In fact, frequently I was involved in pretty bad wrecks, only to never have the Yellow Flag drop, or to have to drop several long seconds later.
Worth The Checkered Flag?
While I found myself enjoying NASCAR The Game 2011 more than I expected to, it does get very repetitive. Before long, you're doing the whole "Just one more race," dance with the game, hoping to up your rankings. Ultimate, I found myself missing EA's NASCAR Thunder 2004. NASCAR The Game 2011 looks good, but not great. When you see your car from behind, it just seems to lack the roar and power of a real stock car.
Likewise, watching your racer perform his celebration on Victory Lane is also a bit disconcerting, as the character models feel really off. The game really does a good job with drafting and explaining how it works, and all of the graphics and pizzazz that have gone into recreating each track are impressive. The Monster Mile never looked so good, and the steep banks at Bristol are perfectly recreated. There's a lanyard badge swinging on the screen for each track as they load, and you can flip it over with the X button to read your stats at that track on the back. Nice touch.
Ultimately, hardcore fans of NASCAR are going to want to feel the oil, dirt, smoke, and grit that make up a race, and this title just feels a bit too sterile for me. I'm hoping the title improves in the next lap by adding some real punch to the experience. Arcade additions would also be welcome, and the proximity radar and the visual drafting are a nice step in that direction. Casual racers will probably enjoy this, but Hardcore fans will be looking for more.

Manchin mulls No Budget, No Pay Act
WASHINGTON – A West Virginia senator who supports withholding paychecks unless Congress passes a budget that addresses fiscal problems has reservations with the No Budget, No Pay Bill Act passed by the House on Wednesday.
The act does nothing to control spending and delays such decisions for another three months, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said on Thursday.
"It doesn't sit well with me," he said.
The House of Representatives on Thursday adopted the act, which requires the House or Senate to pass a budget by April 15 or paychecks will be withheld to members of either chamber which doesn't pass a budget. The act also would suspend the debt limit ceiling until May.
The problem, according to Manchin, is the act delays decisions to control spending for another three months.
"It acts as if we don't have a problem," Manchin said.
A no budget, no pay bill is part of Manchin's 2013 legislative initiatives; however, his legislation would prohibit members of both chambers of Congress from receiving pay if both houses fail to approve a concurrent resolution on the budget.
Manchin wouldn't say whether he would vote against the House act that passed 285-144. All West Virginia congressmen voted in favor.
"I can't give you a definitive answer right now," Manchin said.
Manchin spoke to reporters in West Virginia by conference call.
On other topics, Manchin will support the confirmation of Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense. Among key issues are the war on terrorism, support for Israel and preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, he said.
In the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., shootings, Manchin supports a national commission on mass violence made up of all parties involved including the National Rifle Association to study the "culture of violence."
He will support legislation reclassifying drugs containing hydrocodone as a Schedule II drug, therefore requiring an original prescription for refills and a national energy policy that includes all sources of fuel to make America energy independent.
Women should be allowed to go into combat, Manchin, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said. Most women from West Virginia are handy with a rifle, he said.
"They shoot pretty darn good," he said.

I was at his house playing slayer when he shuts it off & tells me how when he was in high school he was wearing a slayer tee &his crucifix broke off &fell off.now to what happened.to me. The day after Christmas I heard church bells all day long.I ask my dad if he heard them & he didn't. They were the same ones I hear every Sunday morning.but this was Monday All-day long &no one else heard them. The next day I'm driving home from picking up some meds,listening to slayer,$when out of the blue a bus almost sideswipes me &I'm an inch from driving up on the island in the road.I get control of my car the bus gose in the opposite.direction. right then I feel three fingers on the back of my scalp & mildly pull my Hair!.

This was the Answer Posted: If one is hearing sounds that others do not hear, the first step should be to have one's hearing checked. Pressure or injury to the eardrum or an inner ear infection could be the source of false sounds. If one's ears are healthy and phantom sounds continue to occur, one could be experiencing auditory delusions, and should consult a physician. ~or~ If you are hearing church bells, and there is no church around, and nobody else hears them, perhaps God is trying to communicate with you.

Will Furniture Row keep Smith?
From Jayski
If they dump Regan for Busch, it will be a prick move & I hope it backfires on them.
Regan is a long term driver for furniture row vs. Busch who would be just passing through.
Races, tracks, drivers and all the drama that comes along with it
Smokeshow14 wrote:If Kurt came to Furniture Row a second car is probably too late in the game. So Regan is as good as gone. And it looks like James Finch might be closing up shop (Kurt has wrecked so many cars he put him out of business LOL).
I understand why Furniture Row would take Kurt, he is a great driver, not many are better than him. And Furniture Row has their own $$ so Kurt could elevate that team to another level. It would be an opportunity that they would be foolish to not take. Just sucks for Regan if they have to kick him out.

Hecla fined $318K over death of miner
Published On: Jun 06 2012 09:04:29 AM PDT
Hecla Mining Co. has been fined $318,200 by federal regulators for the death of a worker last year in Idaho's Lucky Friday Mine.
Larry Marek died April 15, 2011, during a cave-in at the underground silver mine near Mullan, Idaho.
In a report released last year, Mine Safety and Health Administration officials called Lucky Friday managers negligent for failing to install adequate ground support and not testing the stability of the rock where the cave-in occurred. Hecla has disputed those findings.
Hecla must either pay the fines by June 19 or contest them. Company officials were not immediately available to comment.

I have been using this wedge for about a year now, and during the first couple months, I could not believe the amount of spin I was getting. The feeling on the laser-milled face was amazing. It felt like the ball would stick to the face completely for a split second during the impact. I also liked the DSG version with low bounce. But after just about 3 to 4 months, those laser milled mini grooves on the impact area were getting dull and that "clicking" feel went away. It's still a good wedge, but without the mini grooves, the spin isn't just the same as it used to be. And it's almost impossible to recreate those laser grooves with grooving tools once they go away because they are so tiny and tightly placed together. My suggestion is, "always practice with your old wedges and use these on the course."
I purchased a set of these wedges (56 and 58 degree) to attack a weak area of my short game. I was struggling with bunker play and less than 100 yards approach shots. With practice these wedges will help you master full swing, chips and pitches with confidence. I am now able to attack the pin with pinpoint distance control. The wedges bounce and textured clubface ensure solid contact on all types of lies. Pick up a set of these or two before they run out of supplies and you will drop shots off your scorecard.
Cleveland CG15 60deg 8 bounce...here in Iowa the turf varies alot with the weather. This wedge handles all the conditions really well..spinning the ball is a snap. Only complaint is the clubs offset.
Great club. Gets ball up and spinning really well. Chipped one in with my first stroke. Great club that has really improved my game. Quick shipping and great condition.
I've ordered 6 items from GlobalGolf and 4 of them have arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Once I waited 2 weeks to get my order procesed and only after I called to get it done. The other tood 3 business days (5 calendar days) and an email to them to get processed. The products, so far, have been as advertised but I don't have anything nice to say about the customer service department. After my original email asking where my items were, the rest have been ignored. I won't buy from GlobalGolf again.

|Pre-service training will probably be the most intense period of your Peace Corps service, as you will need to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully serve as a Volunteer in just 10 weeks. While the training period will be extremely busy, it should also be a time of excitement, discovery, and self-fulfillment. The effort and challenges of adapting to a new culture will draw on your reserves of patience and humor but will be handsomely rewarded with a sense of belonging among new friends.
|[[Image:Flag_of_{{#explode:Training in Madagascar| |2}}.svg|50px|none]]}}

For information see Welcomebooks
Pre-service training will provide you with the essential skills needed to successfully complete your service in Madagascar. During training, you will learn what you need to know to integrate into your community and to develop and implement an appropriate work plan with your community and counterparts. Training has five major components:
Technical training, cross-cultural training, language instruction, personal health and safety training, and the role of the Volunteer in development.
The training in Madagascar is community-based, which means that the bulk of it takes place in the community instead of at a training center. Community-based training is a more difficult training model in some respects, as the learning environment is real, not artificial. Most of your time will be spent in villages similar to the one in which you will be placed as a Volunteer, living with a Malagasy family and working in village schools. The learning environment is designed to provide you with experiences and meetings that will help you develop the knowledge and skills you need in your work as a Volunteer.
Technical Training
Technical training will prepare you to work in Madagascar by building on the skills you already have and helping you develop new skills in a manner appropriate to the needs of the country. The Peace Corps staff, Malagasy experts, and current Volunteers will conduct the training program. Training places great emphasis on learning how to transfer the skills you have to the community in which you will serve as a Volunteer.
Technical training will include sessions on the environment, culture, economics, and politics in Madagascar and strategies for working within such a framework. You will review your technical sector's goals and will meet with the Malagasy agencies and organizations that invited the Peace Corps to assist them. You will be supported and evaluated throughout the training to build the confidence and skills you need to undertake your project activities and be a productive member of your community.
Language Training
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you will find that language skills are the key to personal and professional satisfaction during your service. These skills are critical to your job performance, they help you integrate into your community, and they can ease your personal adaptation to the new surroundings. Therefore, language training is the heart of the training program, and you must successfully meet minimum language requirements to complete training and become a Volunteer. Malagasy language instructors teach formal language classes six days a week in small groups of four to five people.
Your language training will incorporate a community-based approach. In addition to classroom time, you will be given assignments to work on outside of the classroom and with your host family. The goal is to get you to a point of basic social communication skills so that you can practice and develop language skills further on your own. Prior to your swearing in as a Volunteer, you will work on strategies to continue language studies during your two years of service.
Cross-Cultural Training
As part of your pre-service training, you will live with a Malagasy host family. This experience is designed to ease your transition to life at your site. Families have gone through an orientation conducted by Peace Corps staff to explain the purpose of the pre-service training program and to assist them in helping you adapt to living in Madagascar. Many Volunteers form strong and lasting friendships with their host families. Cross-cultural and community development will be covered to help improve your skills of perception, communication, and facilitation. Topics such as community mobilization, conflict resolution, gender and development, and traditional and political structures are also addressed.
Health Training
During pre-service training, you will be given basic medical training and information. You are expected to practice preventive healthcare and to take responsibility for your own health by adhering to all medical policies. As a trainee, you are required to attend all medical sessions. The topics include preventive health measures and minor and major medical issues that Volunteers may encounter while in Madagascar. Sexual health and harassment, nutrition, mental health, and safety issues are also covered.
Safety Training
During the safety training sessions, you will learn how to adopt a lifestyle that reduces risk in your home, at work, and during your travels. You will also learn appropriate, effective strategies for coping with unwanted attention and about your individual responsibility for promoting your own safety throughout your service.
Additional Trainings During Volunteer Service
In its commitment to institutionalize quality training, the Peace Corps has implemented a training system that provides trainees and Volunteers with continual opportunities to examine their commitment to Peace Corps service while increasing their technical and cross-cultural skills. During your service, there are usually three training events. The titles and objectives for those trainings are as follows:
- In-service training: Provides an opportunity for Volunteers to upgrade their technical, language, and project development skills while sharing their experiences and reaffirming their commitment after having served for three to six months.
- Midterm conference (done in conjunction with technical sector in-service): Assists Volunteers in reviewing their first year, reassessing their personal and project objectives, and planning for their second year of service.
- Close of service conference: Prepares Volunteers for the future after Peace Corps service and reviews their respective projects and personal experiences.
The number, length, and design of these trainings are adapted to country-specific needs and conditions. The key to the training system is that training events are integrated and interrelated, from the pre-departure orientation through the end of your service, and are planned, implemented, and evaluated cooperatively by the training staff, Peace Corps staff, and Volunteers.

Laurier welcomes research and policy fellow from the University of Oxford
Nov 15/12
The Laurier community is invited to hear Victoria Nash, a policy and research fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), University of Oxford, speak Nov. 20 about the hunt for common ground between advocates of child protection and freedom of expression.
Advocates of online child protection and freedom of expression share a deeply held conviction about the importance of protecting basic human rights, yet in practice any shared convictions are affected by sharp disagreement regarding the design and enactment of specific policies and regulation.
Nashs work seeks to connect OII research with policy and practice, identifying and communicating the broader implications of OII's research into Internet and technology use. Recent projects have included efforts to map the legal and regulatory trends shaping freedom of expression online for UNESCO, and building links between child protection and free speech communities. She is currently developing a program of research around online risk and harm.
As director of Graduate Studies at OII, Vicki is also responsible for overseeing all of the Institutes teaching and degree programs. She is also course director of the OII Summer Doctoral Program, and serves as a lecturer in Politics at Trinity College, University of Oxford.
The event, presented by Lauriers Department of Communications, is Nov. 20 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 101A of the Dr. Alvin Woods Building at the universitys Waterloo campus.

How Christians should respond to the issue of gay 'marriage'comment (1)
January 9, 2014
By Pastor Steve Scoggins
Related Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-8
First Baptist Church, Opelika
April 21, 2013
I am laying aside our weekly study of the book of Acts to do something I rarely do on Sunday mornings: address the most discussed issue of this moment.
Gay "marriage" is being thrust upon us constantly by the media and in our courts. A message this week by Lee Strobel challenged pastors to equip their people to respond to the challenges to our faith. I felt impelled by the Holy Spirit to preach this sermon — not necessarily to spark debate on this issue, but to help the Christian in the pew know how to respond when this issue is raised.
Too often we Christians are known more for what we are against than who we are for. We are for people.
1. God loves every person (John 3:16).
Our calling is to tell the lost people of the world that God loves them. God's love is the greatest power in existence to draw people to faith in Jesus! I believe many involved in gay and lesbian lifestyles are crying out to be loved. No love will ultimately fill the human heart except the love of God.
2. Every person is a sinner (Rom. 3:23).
Homosexuality is only one of many sins listed in the Bible. It is not singled out as being any worse than those sins you and I have often committed. Every one of us have sinned and fallen short of God's high moral standards! But the amazing truth is that God still loves sinners:
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8)
3. Since God loves fallen sinners, we must love fallen sinners (John 13:34).
We are commanded to love people the way God loves people. If I refuse to love someone because of his or her lifestyle, I have sinned.
4. God's ways are the best ways to live.
(Ps. 19:7–8). "The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes"
I no longer see the Bible only as a book of do's and don'ts. The Bible is nothing less than the way the heavenly Father shares His heart with His children. Every time you find a "Thou Shalt Not…" in the Bible, it means, "Don't hurt yourself." Every time you find a "Thou Shalt…" in the Bible, it means, "This is the way to happiness." Since we believe God's ways are the best ways to live, the loving thing to do is to encourage people to walk in God's ways.
The Bible does not teach gay "marriage."
Since the Bible does not teach gay marriage the real question for us Christians is: Will we be Biblical or not? Do we believe the Bible or do we reject what the Bible teaches? Since this is the issue, I believe the most important question is, Why do we believe and trust in the Bible?
1. The Bible is the most verified ancient book.
Archaeology has always backed up what the Bible teaches. The Bible is trustworthy in its accounts of history.
The New Testament is trustworthy eyewitness testimony of Jesus written by those who knew Him. Books like The DaVinci Code have tried to undermine our trust in the Bible, especially in the four Gospels. If you do the research, you will find that the historical evidence points to the fact that our four Gospels are the only true Gospel accounts about Jesus.
Here are a few facts about our New Testament:
- We have only seven ancient copies of Plato and the earliest one was copied 900 years after his death. We have only 20 copies of the Roman historian Tacitus and the earliest copy was made 1,000 years after his death.
- We have over 5,400 ancient copies of the New Testament with over 300 portions dating to within 140 years of the time they were written. In addition, we have quotes from New Testament books by Christian writers shortly after they were written. Clement, the pastor of Rome who was martyred in AD 95, quotes from Matthew, Mark and Luke. Ignatius, who was martyred in AD 110, quotes from 15 of the 27 books of the New Testament in his letters.
2.The number one reason we believe in the Bible? Our Lord Jesus believed in the Bible and trusted its truthfulness.Just look at how Jesus spoke about Bible facts:
- Jesus said Jonah actually was in the belly of a great fish (Matt. 12:40).
- Jesus said He believed the moral teachings of the Old Testament (Matt. 5:17–20)
- Jesus believed the Old Testament books were written by whom they were said to be written.
Since Jesus trusted the Bible, I can trust the Bible, too.
3. I trust what Jesus said about the Bible because Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. That verifies that what He says is authoritative.
Strong historical proof exists that Jesus has risen from the dead. Other historians of His day such as Josephus and Tacitus reported that Jesus was crucified and that His followers claimed He rose from the dead.
Here are a few things to consider about the resurrection.
a) The resurrection is the only logical explanation for the empty tomb.
The tomb was empty. If the enemies of Christ could have produced His body, they could have stopped the Christians from preaching His resurrection. The enemies of Christ never denied the tomb was empty. They bribed the guards to say, "While we were sleeping, the disciples stole the body." There are several holes in this statement.
First, if they were sleeping, how would they know who stole anything?
Second, how could the disciples move a rock weighing several tons and steal the body without waking even one of the 16 guards? Also, a guard who slept on the job would be put to death.
Third, why would the disciples steal the body then spend their lives suffering for a lie and eventually dying for what they knew was not true.
b) Over 500 eyewitnesses saw Jesus risen from the dead (1 Cor. 15:6).
Can you imagine a trial where 500 people went to the stands and not only testified that they had seen someone commit the crime but stated they were willing to die rather than change their testimonies?
c) The changed lives after the resurrection point to the fact that it occurred.
Before the Resurrection, Peter was a coward who denied Christ. Afterwards, he was a bold preacher willing to suffer for Christ.
Before he met the risen Christ, Paul persecuted Christians. Afterwards, he became the greatest missionary of his day.
Before the Resurrection, Jesus' brothers, James and Jude, did not believe in Jesus. Afterward, they became Christian leaders who wrote books of the New Testament.
The real issue behind whether or not you believe in the Bible is whether or not you accept the lordship of Jesus.
We must have the same attitude toward moral issues that Jesus had.
A standard argument used by gay activists to legitimize homosexual actions is that Jesus never mentioned homosexuality. This is an "argument from silence." There were a lot of issues that Jesus never mentioned. Jesus never condemned pedophilia or bestiality. Would anyone dare conclude that Jesus' silence equals condoning those practices?
Here are the facts about what Jesus did teach:
1. Jesus said He agreed with the moral standards of the Old Testament.
(Matt. 5:19) Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
The Old Testament condemned homosexual actions. Jesus said, "I agree."
2. Jesus never lowered any moral standards of the Old Testament. He always raised them.
In Matthew 5, Jesus said that hating someone is the same as murder. He H``HHHHHe also taught that a man who lusts after a woman has committed adultery with her in God's eyes. Thus, He raised the bar for moral standards even higher than it was in the Old Testament!
3. Jesus endorsed heterosexual marriage (Matt. 19:4-6).
Jesus said marriage was between a man and a woman. Followers of Jesus should not change His definition of marriage.
A note to Christians on the issue of "marriage" in our day.
We have become a self-centered culture. This goes against the fundamental teaching of the Bible that we are called to love selflessly. One of the primary purposes for marriage is to create a loving atmosphere to raise children. Children need loving parents of both sexes who will raise them in a loving and safe environment.
Proof that God wants children to have both a mother and a father is found in the Christmas story. Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus (God was), and he tried to abandon Mary when he found out she was pregnant. God sent an angel after Joseph to convince him to stay and take Mary as his wife and raise this boy as his own. The heavenly Father wanted His Son to have both an earthly father and mother.
1. Ultimately, it is God's responsibility through the Holy Spirit to convince people of God's truth.
If I think I can change someone's mind simply by winning arguments, I have underestimated the depth of our sin problems. If God does not open our minds, we will never believe the truth. If someone believes in the Bible and believes in Jesus, it is only because he or she was enabled to do so by the Holy Spirit:
John 16:7-8, 13: But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment. … .But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
If I want people to come to believe in Jesus and the Bible, the best thing I can do is to pray for them rather than to argue with them. If you believe in Jesus and the Bible, you should bow your head right now and thank God for giving you the assurance that both Jesus and the Bible are true. That very assurance came from God.
2. We Christians must concentrate on dealing with the real problems instead of just the "fruit" problems of a lost culture.
Homosexuality and gay "marriage" are not the main problems of our day. People don't need "right" opinions on these issues as much as they need a right relationship with God! Lost people act and think like lost people because they are lost people.
I would rather not take a day and deal with an issue like this. I can't wait to get back to teaching the Bible and just talking about Jesus next week. I don't want to engage in arguments over side issues of culture with people who want to argue. I long to do one thing: to tell people how wonderful Jesus is and get them to trust in and follow Him.
3. We Christians must speak with great humility when we deal with this subject.
There is a sense in which the Christian church has lost some of its right to speak on this issue. We say we believe that God has set apart heterosexual marriage as a sacred institution. Yet the divorce rate among Christians is so high, no wonder people are not listening to us! How can we say God's way is the best way to live when we so often end our marriages for other than Biblical reasons?
But the main reason we must speak with humility is that we should realize our own lives are far from what God expects them to be. The longer I walk with Christ, the more I realize what a sinner I am. If my thought life were displayed before you now, I would slink away in shame and hope I would never see any of you again! A lot of logs in my eyes need to be dealt with before I begin pulling specks out of other people's eyes.
An old saying is still true: "Christian witnessing is simply when one beggar tells another beggar where to find bread." As many times as I have blown it, I am amazed God still loves me. God didn't make me promise to shape up before He sent Jesus to die for me. While I was still a sinner, Christ died for me! All God wants is for us to come to Him humbly, trust in Jesus, and allow His Holy Spirit to come inside us and begin the work of changing us from the inside out. Have you opened your heart to Jesus yet?

Investing Basics Know-How
It's a Balancing Act
You've carefully weighed in your own mind how you want your retirement portfolio to look: just the right amount of your assets allocated to stocks versus fixed-income investments. You feel comfortable with the growth/income and risk profile of your portfolio, and you have carefully diversified your investments over all the investment categories, and even within each category. Then, inevitably, the market jumps up or down, and your portfolio is thrown completely off balance.
First, relax. Your asset allocation guidelines are just thatguidelines.

All Averages Are Not Created Equal
Turn to any listing of mutual fund returns, or even stocks, and you will likely see a "summary" of those results, referred to as the "average" return. For example, a listing of mutual funds in a particular category may show the average return for the fund in that category. A different listing may show a particular fund's returns for each of the last five years, and an average annual return over that five-year period.
Many individuals assume those averages are all calculated in the same way. In fact, they are not.
The dictionary definition of an average is: A single value that summarizes or represents the general significance of a set of unequal values. But there are a number of different ways to present a "summary" of values, depending on what you are seeking to measure.
What are the different "averages," and how are they calculated?

Trophy Madness
The World Series Trophy has been making the rounds in the Philadelphia area for months now; you would think the buzz would have died down a little by now. After stopping by the Concord Mall in Wilmington, DE yesterday, it is clear that
all Phillies fans are still reveling in the glory of a World Championship. The line to see the trophy ran the entire length of the mall. It was a sea of red; parting the Red Sea, was the Phillie Phanatic. The green fur flew as the Phanatic wandered through the crowd, hugging excited children and flirting with the moms. Spring Training is hours away and yet, the party is not over.
I spoke with Phillies radio announcer, Scott Franzke for a little while and we talked about what an exciting time it was for Phillies fans and how we all were looking forward to Spring Training. I also stopped by a sports store in the mall, Speedzone, and picked up this really awesome Phillies World Series jacket:
You can contact Speedzone at email@example.com or 302-478-5404 for more information. The jacket I grabbed was the last one in the store, but they said more are on order and you can contact them for a specific size, from small to 6XL. So far, this is the most unique jacket I have seen and I had to get it!
15 hours and counting until Phillies pitchers and catchers report. Are you feeling it? Peace, Love & Baseball,

I really want to see that dang trophy! Unfortunately, the only stop anywhere near us was on a weekday at an inopportune time. I haven't given up yet though!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
The BUZZ never dies down! Every time the trophy comes out in Boston so do the fans!
I would like to congratulate you for the championship, should be a fun race this year.
What a cool jacket!! I'm sure that the trophy will be making an appearance at Spring Training. I was just in DE this past summer because my cousins live there, and they were rooting for the Phils.
Thanks everyone! I think the trophy is going to be at the Harrisburg mall today and after that, it is going to Clearwater for Fan Fest on the 20th. And Happy Valentine's day everyone! …Jenn
Happy Valentine's Day to you too, Jenn. Isn't it amazing how the trophy brings out such pride and excitement no matter how long after the fact?
Living in Wilmington, I am surrounded by Phillies fans but it was good to see them experience the joy and excitement of a World Series championship. With the young talent in place, the team is positioned to contend for years to come. Enjoy! And, Happy Valentine's Day!

This morning my white blood count has doubled. I found out i have an infection in the uterine lining and that is what most likely caused me to rupture. Braydens cultures come back hopefully tonight or tomorrow. I am now hooked back up to IVs and back into bed until we can get this infection under control.
The worst part is the NICU said i can not visit Brayden. My heart sank when they told me. I really feel upset about the whole birth experience esp going under general anesthesia and now i can't even look at my baby. This is by far the most difficult thing i've ever had to deal with in my life. I just want to "be there" for my baby. I have to pump and dump because of the antibiotics. I am just having one bummer of a day!
Brayden had a setback today. They had to up his oxygen to 40%...he has been on room temperature with just the C-Pap expanding his lungs. They have since weaned him back to the 21% so it only worsened temporarily.
I have been one big bawling machine lately. DH and i are just not seeing things eye to eye and he left today to spend some time with the girls. My poor girls have had a rough time. The NICU is very sterile. They are not proactive when it comes to kangaroo care (naked chest to chest) or even breastfeeding. They won't let siblings visit...let alone even look at the baby. It's just hard to explain to my 5 and 2 year old when i can even show the baby even through a glass. Heck, i can't even see him myself. I understand the precautions, but i had this BEFORE i delivered. You know? I don't think i'm being irrational? This is MY baby!!! Argh---so mad here.
I'm feeling pretty good as far as the CS recovery goes. I have some oozing from the wound. Has anyone else had this????

Public pool proposed for Elkins
About 30 members of the community, including Mayor Van Broughton and Delegate Denise Campbell, D-Randolph, gathered at Glendale Park in Elkins Wednesday evening to discuss the possibility of installing a public pool in town.
Everything from a splash pad for kids to a regulation-sized all-purpose pool were discussed as possibilities.
"There isn't anything like this in the area," Broughton said. "I think it would be a great addition to the community."
With facilities at Davis & Elkins College not always open to the public and the Elks Club pool only open seasonally, Broughton and others decided to meet about what it would take to build an all-purpose outdoor public pool.
"With such a growing interest in the sport of swimming, a regulation-size pool that could be used year round would be a great addition for the city," said Jean Schmitt, former swim team coach for Elkins High School.
Broughton and Logan Smith, from the Elkins Historic Landmarks Commission, directed the meeting, designed to garner community feedback for the project, which turned out to be very positive.
The general consensus was that a pool would be a great addition to the community and to Glendale Park, which is the prime target location for the project.
Robbie Morris, executive director of the Randolph County Development Authority, proposed some land on the southern end of the Elkins Railyard as an alternative site for the pool.
Broughton suggested that, with some focus and intense planning, it could be possible to install a splash pad as early as next year, with the intention of adding a pool to the site later.
The biggest issues named Wednesday were finding the correct amount of land – at least two acres that would be approved by the county assessor – and finding funding.
Shelley Depp, president of the Randolph County Convention and Visitor's Bureau board, who also took minutes for the meeting, suggested that the public look into researching grant money available for the bulk of the funding.
Broughton said that some local businesses and private donors are already interested in helping fund the project, as well.
Additional expenditures include bathrooms, an office, parking, a concession stand, paid staff and insurance costs once the actual facility is built.
Some residents who live on Glendale Drive, next to the proposed pool site, said they approved of the project but the traffic flow to and from the park would have to be regulated for their safety.
"We need to be aware that this might take some time before this can happen," Campbell said. "We need to bring in professionals and have them approve of the best location for a project like this. If we are going to do something like this we need to do it right."
After the meeting, Broughton said, "If we come together and work hard, I don't see how we can't do this."
The group plans to hold another meeting on the issue July 24 at 6 p.m. at Elkins City Park. For more information on the Elkins pool project, check out the Facebook group "Community Support for a Public Splash Pad/Pool in Elkins WV."

In the case of Zora Walker, whose husband Gail Walker died in 1996, she renews her interest in crocheting and begins to fill notebook after notebook with stories, songs, and poems. The stories are about her life on Yellow Branch in Graham County, both before and after World War II, and a brief period in Proctor when she was very young, a few years before TVA flooded the area to create Fontana Lake.
The poems range from the first one she wrote and memorized in 1934 at Stecoah Valley School to a more recent one protesting the injustice of demoting Pluto to less than a planet. Her songs include hymns, love songs, and elegies, performed for me in a strong, melodic voice, in the tunes that she says, ŌĆ£come to her.ŌĆØ
Much of Mrs. WalkerŌĆÖs prose is about memories of Proctor and Ritter, a town and a community now underwater, and about life in Yellow Branch before the area was developed and electrified.
In conversation, she tells me about the backing up of the waters from Fontana Dam: ŌĆ£The water only came up a few feet on our land, so we didnŌĆÖt have to sell. But we did go swimming above what had been my uncleŌĆÖs cornfield.ŌĆØ
Her prose, unsentimental and factual, is a memorial to life that accepted loss and death with the same equanimity as it accepted a good corn harvest or a birth. In one passage of a piece she titles ŌĆ£A Paradise LostŌĆØ (after John Milton), Mrs. Walker writes about the George and Dixie Higdon family who ŌĆ£lived down at the lower end of Proctor not far from the school.ŌĆØ She lists the names of the children and talks about the two familiesŌĆÖ closeness, then briefly mentions, ŌĆ£Mrs. Higdon passed away during the birth of the youngest,ŌĆØ and then, almost as afterthought, adds, ŌĆ£It hurt my own mom a lot.ŌĆØ Her belief that life goes on is clear when she continues, ŌĆ£I grew up with them. I went to church and school with them and often spent the night at their home.ŌĆØ
A glass half full
Zora WalkerŌĆÖs speaking voice is equally even-keeled. The only time she expresses anything other than optimism is when she talks about the death of one of her own children, Tommy Walker, who was killed in an automobile accident at 25, and who was buried on Memorial Day. After his death, she says, ŌĆ£My husband was never really well again.ŌĆØ
However, about most things her speech is inflected with a genuine cheerfulness, even when speaking of the small difficulties of daily life when everything had to be done by hand. For example, she explains the process of taking a bath in the time before water was on tap: ŌĆ£You had to go out and pull up the well water, chop the wood, heat the water, get an old zinc washtub, and find you a good corner where nobody would see you.ŌĆØ She goes on, ŌĆ£Now you just turn faucets and push buttons. But itŌĆÖs not as good exercise. Even rubbing on a rub board [washboard] is good exercise, but itŌĆÖs not fun. Walking everywhere like we did was good exercise, but I wouldnŌĆÖt want to have to do that anymore either.ŌĆØ
Her balanced approach, innate or willed, is also in evidence when she speaks of her life now. Her crocheting, her grandchildren, her writing, and her involvement with her church are her pleasures, as are watching birds, squirrels, and the mountainsides outside her window going through each seasonŌĆÖs changes.
One notable aspect of Mrs. WalkerŌĆÖs character is her openness to change. When she talks about attending church, she says, ŌĆ£Back then most everybody went to church, partly because we thought it was right to go and learn more about God and the Bible. It was also fun to be with other people. Also, we didnŌĆÖt have cars and good roads to go other places so easily. Now lots of people still go to church faithfully, but many people donŌĆÖt because there are so many other places to go with cars, good roads, and money to buy gas ŌĆö and nothing to hinder them, if thatŌĆÖs their choice.ŌĆØ Through the church she attends now, Mrs. Walker has met people who come here for the summer, and she says they are ŌĆ£some of the nicest people [sheŌĆÖs] ever known.ŌĆØ
An open mind
Her openness extends even beyond new people to new constructions and new ideas. Her late husband was a carpenter, and of the housing boom taking place all over the county, she says, ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs so much better for people who want to work at carpentry or building. You could almost resent people crowding in and covering up the mountainsides, but everybody has to have a chance. Everybody has to live somewhere, and you canŌĆÖt blame [people] for liking it here.ŌĆØ However, this openness does not mean she sees through rose-tinted glasses. About changes wrought by television she says, ŌĆ£TV is a good thing in a way and a bad thing in a way. So many things children can learn, like the little cartoons that have a good moral to them. But much television is filthy now. I feel every day thereŌĆÖs stuff on there I donŌĆÖt want to see. But people have to go with the flow, and you feel like you just canŌĆÖt do without TV. But you just canŌĆÖt attend to it right.ŌĆØ
Different is not worse
An attendance to what is important, to morality and a strict work ethic, is what she feels set her generation apart, but she also thinks the generations behind her work just as hard, though itŌĆÖs not as much physical. She thinks that having grown up ŌĆ£in harder times made physical labor a necessity, like getting all your water from springs like we did on Yellow Branch, or getting your water from a well like we did in Bryson City until we got electricity in the late 1940s.ŌĆØ Although she also points out ŌĆ£the younger generation never had to do the kind of work that we did,ŌĆØ she does not mean it as a criticism. She explains the other side of the coin by paying a compliment. The lack of necessary hard labor has made her children and grandchildren ŌĆ£a more refined generation.ŌĆØ
Even when Zora Walker criticizes, she softens it with the same understanding. ŌĆ£What I am against in the young generation is the way they dress. They dress scandalous. ItŌĆÖs what theyŌĆÖre used to and how theyŌĆÖve been brought up. If you see something long enough and see other people doing it, you begin to think the wrong thing is right.ŌĆØ Still, she says, her own parentsŌĆÖ lack of compromise in child rearing was only good ŌĆ£for the most part. Being brought up with Victorian ideas has stuck, but being taught to literally fear the devilŌĆÖs pitchfork may not have been the best thing. Scaring children is not the best way to teach them.ŌĆØ Preachers and parents, she says, should talk about ŌĆ£hellfire and mistakes we make, but they should focus on the love of God and his sacrifice.ŌĆØ With the same evenhanded approach, Mrs. Walker comments on the rearing of the baby boomers. She believes her generation compromised more on childrearing because of the hard lives they had known. ŌĆ£We wanted to allow our children to be more like other peopleŌĆÖs children.ŌĆØ
Another mild admonishment she has for the current generation is that ŌĆ£we now donŌĆÖt take time. Used to be people couldnŌĆÖt go anywhere else, so we walked to see neighbors. So people just visited and you didnŌĆÖt have to have an appointment to eat with them.ŌĆØ But even to this she adds, ŌĆ£But thereŌĆÖs a reason for that. Groceries are so high, and you canŌĆÖt cook huge meals just in case somebody comes.ŌĆØ
Finding her place
Somebody coming, however, is clearly something Mrs. Walker enjoys. Her walls and tabletops display gifts from her family, photos, artwork by grandchildren, and awards for children and grandchildren. Although she looks back on her own childhood as ŌĆ£good old days,ŌĆØ she is the kind of person whose mindset does not allow sentimentality. She seems to see the flawed present without bitterness, the future without fear or resentment, and the past with a certain wistfulness, but not with regret. Of her childhood, she says, ŌĆ£I wouldnŌĆÖt bring it back because going from where we are now to where we were then would be so hard.ŌĆØ
Maybe what enables Zora Walker to maintain her equilibrium is that she is a seeker of patterns. The patterns she finds help her to make sense of things. And the patterns she creates, whether in the words she writes or in the yarns she crochets, have helped Zora Walker find her own place in a larger design.

- Scheduling disciplines for multimedia WLANs: embedded round robin and wireless dual queue
- Author(s)
- Ranasinghe, Ravindra S.; Andrew, Lachlan L. H.; Hayes, David A.; Everitt, David
- Abstract
- Wireless local area networks have developed into a promising solution to support advanced data services in untethered environments. Selection of an efficient packet-scheduling scheme is important for managing the bandwidth while satisfying QoS requirements of active sessions having diverse traffic characteristics. The key difficulty is the distributed nature of the queues in the uplink, resulting in the scheduler having to trade off polling greedy stations against wasting resources by polling potentially idle stations. In order to address this, we propose a novel scheduling scheme, 'Embedded Round Robin', which dynamically classifies stations as 'busy' and 'clear'. We then extend the recently proposed Dual Queue scheduling discipline to the case of wireless networks.

"Sandy" was a fixer and had been most of her life.
Her mom passed away when she was 11 of a prescription drug overdose, and her dad had little idea how to raise four kids – three girls and a little brother. Little brother is now in his 30s and has been in and out of jails and institutions with alcohol and other drug problems.
"Sandy" was the second oldest child, and for some reason the one who took on the family responsibilities. She made her siblings school lunches, helped with homework at night and usually cooked dinner. Her dad was a good man who had to work two jobs to make ends meet and was seldom home.
Later, he found the first in a long line of alcohol-soaked girlfriends, which started a slow slide for him. Although never a big drinker before, he spent the majority of his spare time at the tavern with his latest "wife of the night," and the kids, more often than not, had a "stepmother of the day" waiting for them when they got up. "Sandy" usually conducted the morning interview of the newest temporary family addition and often disapproved. In fact, she often disapproved to her dad, who, now alcohol-soaked himself, would hear none of it.
"Sandy" realized at age 15 she was on her own. Her thinking was if it was going to get done right, she had to do it, and her anger, loneliness and unhappiness got rolled into her now chronic over-helping.
To no one's surprise but "Sandy's," she married her first alcoholic at age 18 and managed to have two children and get a degree in social work by 24. After the divorce and single parenting for a year, she found her second husband, who didn't drink. However, he was a guy who used to drink way too much, went to AA, "graduated" and was now a certified dry drunk with a pornography problem.
After that divorce, "Sandy", who had heard about Al Anon from husband No. 2, who had insisted she attend, decided she would look into some Al Anon classes. Having a social work degree, she felt she could teach them, but she would give it a try.
Shortly after her first couple of meetings and an "ego right-sizing experience," "Sandy" realized these Al Anons had something she couldn't find on her own. They knew about how addiction worked in themselves and others; they knew about inner peace in the midst of chaos; they knew about accepting; and they knew how to let go of what they couldn't control.
"Sandy" had finally found a group she could trust and where she could let go of her long-held grief. "Sandy" could finally start to heal.

Bogus Diagnostic Tests
A few years ago a friend asked me to comment on advice given to her adult daughter by a psychiatrist whom she'd consulted for depression. The psychiatrist had recommended testing samples of saliva and urine for hormone and neurotransmitter levels, the results of which would likely indicate a need for supplements to correct deficiencies or imbalances. According to the psychiatrist, who had an academic appointment at a medical school in New York City, "I have been using these supplements with a great deal of success." My friend is not medically or scientifically sophisticated, but this made her a little uncomfortable. In that, she was entirely justified.
During our recent panel discussion at the NECSS, a member of the audience identified himself as a clinical pathologist at a major medical center, and wondered what he might do to become involved in the good fight against encroaching pseudoscience in medical schools. Clinical pathology is the medical specialty that concerns itself, in summary, with laboratory tests—their development, their validity, their interpretation, their usefulness and, by implication, their misuse. A topic that we haven't much featured on SBM (we touched upon it here, here and here, and probably elsewhere) is that of bogus laboratory or other diagnostic tests.
Early in my own education in modern quackery, I found it particularly distasteful not merely that quacks misuse laboratory tests, but that several commercial laboratories market misleading tests. To the untrained eye these laboratories appear to be legitimate, even to the point of their being approved by apparently legitimate certifying bodies. We'll discuss that below, but first let's look more closely at the psychiatrist's recommendations to my friend's daughter and at other examples of bogus tests.

Hi Everyone!
As a little get to know each other thread --- let's post our favorite things about BFing.
The moment that I will never forget it when DD realized who was feeding her! She was about two months old. She was happily nursing when all of a sudden, she pulled off, looked up and was like "Hey! That is my Mom." She smiled at me latched back on then pulled of again and did the same thing. My heart melted right then and there and I told DH that I was going to nurse her until she went away to college!
So come on cough up your fun experiences!

This peptide is histone H3 (1-21) with asymmetrical dimethylation at Arg2 and dimethylation at Lys4, followed by a C-terminal GGK with biotinylation on the side chain of Lys. Asymmetrical dimethylation of Arg2 is associated with transcriptional silencing and typically inhibits Lys4 methylation in vivo. Set1 methyltransferase catalyzes dimethylation of Lys4, which has been associated with inactive and active euchromatic genes. Provided at >95% peptide purity, this peptide was dissolved in distilled water at 1 mg/ml and re-lyophilized to powder form.
