WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - "How far would I go for a friend?" This was the question I asked myself as I was reading today's gospel, Mark 2:1-12.
Earlier in the week, we read the account in Mark's gospel where Jesus was staying in Capernaum, which had become his center of ministry. It was there that he healed Simon Peter's mother-in-law. This event set off a cavalcade of other miracles as the whole town brought the sick as well as those tormented by demons. The people were in awe of his ministry and returned the next day for more.
Jesus, however, had risen early and gone out to a deserted place to pray. When His disciples found him, they remarked that the people were again waiting for him to lay hands on others. Instead, he told Peter and the others that they were to go to some of the other towns and preach.
Today's reading picks up at the point of His return and the town was ready. Again, the home where he was staying was surrounded by the needy. So many were there that you couldn't even get through the door.
There was a paralytic in the town who obviously needed the healing ministry of the Lord. While he could do nothing about it himself, four friends wanted to be sure the man received the touch he needed and carried him, stretcher and all, to the house.
Arriving at the home, they couldn't get the man close to Jesus. This is where the story gets interesting! Undaunted by the crowd, the men somehow got the man on to the roof of the house, created an opening in the tiles and lowered the stretcher in front of the Lord.
The Gospel goes on to say, "When Jesus saw their faith."
He went on to use this man's situation as an opportunity to underscore His divinity, forgiving the man's sins as well as healing his sickness.
I am always captivated by the faith and perseverance of the men who carried their friend. Take a moment and imagine what they must have done to provide their friend with the gift of healing.
Not only did they have to carry him through the streets of Capernaum to the home where our Lord was staying. They then had to lift him up on to the roof of the house.
The modest dwellings of Capernaum would look nothing like our modern homes. Most were square and normally only story - or sometimes two. They usually had a stairway leading to the flat roof, which was often used as a patio.
So, finding their way through the crowd to the stairs and then bringing their friend along, they would have had to find ropes, dig out an opening in the tiles and then let him down. What an ordeal that must have been!
I can picture the scene from inside the home. As Jesus is teaching, he and the crowd look up to see sunlight streaming through a new opening the men have made. As they continued to watch, a stretcher appears in the opening and is carefully lowered by four ropes, making sure the man isn't kept level at all times.
The rest, as they say, is history.
So, how far would I go for a friend? Would I have taken up one of the poles of the stretcher and carried my colleague to the Lord? Seeing a large crowd, would I have suggested we turn back or look for a way? Had I heard that the savior was returning to the city, would my first thought be that my paralyzed pal needed to meet him?
1. We have something that others need
In Matthew 9:36, the evangelist writes, "At the sight of the crowd, [Jesus] was moved with compassion for them because they harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." The phrase "moved with compassion" really describes an actual physical response to what He saw. In today's language we might say that "He was gripped in His gut."
What troubled Jesus was the condition of people who were being harassed by the circumstances of life that were coming against them, while having no inner strength to withstand the pressure.
I can still remember a science class when I was in elementary school, where we took a vacuum pump and removed all of the air from a gasoline can. This was not one of our modern plastic cans but a steel container. As the air was evacuated from the container, it was as though an invisible hand had taken hold of the object and was squeezing it. In the end all that was left was a crumpled lump of metal. That was an image to true helplessness!
While cultures and technologies have changed since the times of our Lord, humanity is not any better off. We are still harassed and helpless, especially in the area of our spiritual life. As Isaiah wrote, "All we like sheep have gone astray. Each one has turned to his own way." (Is. 53:6)
Each one of us is surrounded by harassed and helpless people. We see them at work, in our neighborhood, at the mall - and often in our own families. As Catholic Christians we possess a grace that each of them needs to truly live.
It is only when we look at other's lives through the lens of the gospel that we see their true condition. From the outside, many people look just fine; they have good jobs, stable incomes and active involvement on a number of fronts.
While their exterior may appear wonderful, they feel dead on the inside. What is really needed is a deep and profound encounter with God. As our Holy Father once said, "How many people also in our time are in search of God, in search of Jesus and of his Church, in search of divine mercy, and are waiting for a 'sign' that will touch their minds and their hearts!"
There are so many who are looking for something that will make a difference in their lives and they are looking for more than just attending a Mass or a meeting. In the seventeenth century, French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal coined a phrase that describes this lack when he said, "There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus."
For many of us, it's hard to believe that people need what we have. We take our faith fore granted, not aware that others are like that paralytic on the inside.
Perhaps the first step is to take a look at our own relationship with the Lord. Back in 2008, Pope Benedict XVI told a group of pilgrims in Rome, "Only in this personal relationship with Christ, only in this encounter with the Risen One do we really become Christians... Therefore, let us pray to the Lord to enlighten us, so that, in our world, he will grant us the encounter with his presence, and thus give us a lively faith, an open heart, and great charity for all, capable of renewing the world."
2. We can become an instrument God uses
In recent years we have heard a lot about the terms "evangelization" and the "new evangelization." Both Blessed John Paul II, who coined the latter phrase in 1983, and Pope Benedict have emphasized the importance of sharing our faith with others. They are calling us to be stretcher carriers for those who need a healing touch; this is evangelization.
Often, when we think of evangelization, we picture people going door-to-door, handing out pamphlets, or trying to engage total strangers in a theological discussion about their soul. Such visions bring about a sense of dread and discomfort.
Not only does this sound awkward but it also seems overwhelming. We wonder what to do if people ask hard questions. As stretcher carriers, we are not expected to be catechists or apologists.
For the most part, evangelization, as St. Peter described it in his first letter, simply involves being ready to give a reason for the hope that lies within (I Pt. 3:15). Through our baptism, this is our call in this new missionary age.
We can simply share our hope in the passion, death, resurrection and ascension of Christ for our redemption and the difference that He has made in our life right now. As a stretcher carrier, we are called to bring people before Christ and leave the results with Him.
3. We must watch for divine opportunities.
One of the greatest single barriers to helping another come close to our Lord involves the issue of inconvenience. Our schedules can be so hectic and our lives already stressed. Yet, we have a call to get involved in others lives and it might get a little messy.
In our Gospel reading for today, the friends of the paralytic showed an example of true commitment to the needs of another when they headed up to the roof and dug a hole for the stretcher. They showed a determination many of us can emulate.
They also illustrated something else - an eye for opportunity.
Several months ago a friend of mine was speaking at a local chapter meeting of the Catholic Business Network. As a successful business owner, he shared in principle and example how he integrated his faith into his professional life.
One area that he highlighted was the opportunity for evangelization and I really appreciated his perspective. He shared how would approach every acquaintance and relationship from the standpoint of looking for a divine moment. He had noticed how often openings were presented where he could share something about his personal faith without being pushy.
"Watch for those divine moments," he would say. "When they come, simply plant a seed. If someone shares a problem, tell him or her you will be praying. If another expresses displeasure with their quality of life, simply comment about the importance of Christ in your life or invite them to go with your to a church event."
We have what people need - a relationship with Jesus Christ and can be used mightily to bring people to a personal faith if we make ourselves available and look for opportunities - those divine moments - when we can share.
In his apostolic exhortation, "Verbum Domini," Pope Benedict talks about the importance of our proclamation of the "Logos of hope." Here he reminds us that God has a human face and loves us with an everlasting love. Such a message is truly a great gift to the world. "We cannot keep to ourselves the words of eternal life given to us in our encounter with Jesus Christ: they are meant for everyone, for every man and woman. ... It is our responsibility to pass on what, by God's grace, we ourselves have received."

It's a Michael Czerepak edition of Tuesday Video Pick with two gems. The first is "Spider Dance, Spider Man Theme Song" by Stan The Man Griffin. This may be the best Spider-Man cover song ever, period.
Spider-Dance Spider-Man Theme Song is the new theme song for one of the most successful comic book super-Hero's of our time. Stan The Man Griffin Set out to write a theme song for the web-slinging wall crawling comic book and now movie series hero. Its funky and cool and has that flavor of that puts you in mind of EWF. With a great horn arrangement and a hard hitting drum beat and funky bass line Spider-Dance will have you bobing your head and patting your feet soaking up the whole groove of the song that captures the heart and soul of Spider-Man! (via Stan "The Man" Griffith's youtube page)
Our second pick is a little more on the mellow side with Amanda Lear's 1977 classic "Alphabet". My favorite letter has to be G "for getting divorced". Watch the video after the jump. Read more

How to backup and restore an SVN repository with full commit history
July 2nd, 2013 No comments
Sometimes you need to move an SVN repository from one server to another but maintain the full commit history (i.e. comments and changes). Here is a very simple way to do so.
1. Dump (and compress) the source SVN in one line:
svnadmin dump [path to source SVNrepository] | gzip -9 > [path to destination gzipped dump file]
For example:
svnadmin dump /var/svn/projectx | gzip -9 > /home/awesomeadmin/svn_backup/projectx.dump.gz
2. Transfer gzipped dump to new server
3. Decompress dump
gunzip projectx.dump.gz
4. Restore dump to new SVN repository
svnadmin load [path to new SVN repository] < [path to dump file]
For example:
svnadmin load /var/svn/projecty < /home/awesomeadmin/svn_backup/projectx.dump
That's it. Pretty simple, no?
Previously I was running KDE 4.3.3 on top of Fedora 11 (for the first experiment) and KDE 4.6.5 on top of Gentoo (for the second experiment).

Handy hint keeps rust from staining dishes
If the tips of the tines on the dish basket of your dishwasher have started to rust or discolor, try this trick from Robert Meyer of Fort Wayne, Ind. Cover the rusted tips with 1-inch lengths of electrical shrink tubing and use a heat gun to shrink them around the tines. You�ll save yourself the expense of replacing the dish basket, and the shrink tubing will keep the rust from staining your dishes.

Just spent the last hour listening to the interview with
Just spent the last hour listening to the interview with Prabhu Guptara. Ms. Tippett could have held the interview last week; for it is startling how appropriate and relevant Mr. Guptara's thoughts are. It is also veryvery sad that it is so. Particularly, his idea that there is an acute necessity "…to assert personal ethics and moral values in the world of business…". His observation that US corporations business are regulated by law and not by principles and no one is controlling the unethical company policies and CEO's decision making was compellingly put. If only some banks and cooperation could have heard and reacted on this arguments years ago.

I found the similarities rather startling. Guptara's interview with Krista also challenged me to think about our current economic difficulties in different terms -- as not happenstance but something that probably resulted from a series of events. And these decisions aren't without consequence. They should require the decision-maker to think about others and the impact of his decisions. I wonder how often that really happens...

I've got to work that quote into our Repossessing Virtue series. Thanks Linda.

From the perspective of the business ethics, the global
From the perspective of the business ethics, the global economic crisis is an evident consequence of the corporate world's performance. First, we knew about the executive compensation, bonuses, and perquisites. Second, the hierarchical structure in most of organizations feeds the abuse of power, discrimination, and retaliation against those who ethically dare to discuss management policies and procedures. Third, the employment relationship means a lack of trust and commitment in both parties. Fourth, the core values, vision, and mission statements of organizations which say they value and respect people as the most important asset is an oxymoron. Fifth, ethics is above the law and cannot be regulated.
More than a fact, spirituality is a necessity in the history of today's organizations at this time where chaos, misunderstandings, lack of real-ethical leaders, unhealthy conflicts, and an incommensurable greed for money is destroying human relationships. It must be a science that reconciles our human spirit, and measures the reliability/validity of its discourse with the appropriate response of shareholders, CEOs, executives, managers, supervisors, employees, customers, suppliers, or stakeholders in general as human beings.
People are the main responsibility in the psychological contract we create when we interact one with another. We, the people, scientifically, have to discover the essence of being spiritual in a world-organization where the sole responsibility is to make money surmounting ethics and values. Without morality, the foundation of any entrepreneurship undertaken is just assuming the risk for the benefit of a profit, and not for the people, who represents the ultimate businesses' maintenance and the pay off on their investment.
Some people have come to understand - with the 2008 global economic turndown - what the saying what does a company profit if it make a lot of money and lose its human soul means.

After touting Wegmans Food Markets Inc. to David Letterman in May, actor Alec Baldwin is doing it again in television spots for the grocery chain.
A television commercial during prime time Tuesday night showed Baldwin with his mother at one of the company's Syracuse stores. Last month, the actor was spotted filming inside the store.
Baldwin's ties to the grocery chain started when he indirectly plugged Wegmans during an interview with Letterman. He was telling Letterman about his mother's unusual attachment to Upstate New York.
When asked why his mother, Carol, does not join her sons in California, the "30 Rock" star said she refused to leave her favorite grocery store, which Letterman jokingly referred to as the center of the cultural universe.
"When Alec Baldwin mentioned Wegmans on the 'David Letterman Show,' it was a thrill for everyone at Wegmans," said Jo Natale, director of media relations for the company. "We are running 30-second holiday commercials that feature Alec Baldwin and his mom, Carol."
The ad is running in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Johnson City in New York and in Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania and Hunt Valley in Maryland.
"(The scenes) were shot by an agency in our Fairmount store in Syracuse—where Alec's mom shops. The employees in the commercial are Wegmans employees, not actors," Natale said.
Wegmans has 13,858 local employees. Earlier this month, Wegmans ranked 55th on Forbes magazine's 2010 list of America's largest private companies with 38,697 employees nationwide and $5.15 billion in revenues.

Clarks Wave.Trek Black Nubuck Women's Shoe
Features include:
Have ball of foot pain and with my own orthotics this shoe is great for walking or exercising. Have other Clark shoes with this technology (WaveWalk) and love them.
Excellent comfortable shoes!! One of my best investments as far as shoes. Definitely worth the price.
I love these shoes. I wear them almost daily as my wardrobe allows. I do have my own inserts for the shoes but they are so very comfortable and well made.
I suffer from plantar fascitiis and I usually just purchase insoles. But my back was hurting even with the insoles (I had been using my OLD pair of comfortable shoes) so I decided it was time to replace those. These shoes were a nice surprise. They are a bit heavier than my old sneakers but the sole and insole offer great support. It was a bonus that they are waterproof as I work in a lab. That said, I thought this would create sweaty feet. This has not been the case at all. My feet do stay comfortably warm and I'm not sure how hot they will get in the summer. But right now they are great. I have not needed to put in my insoles and my back pain has decreased!! Also, I love the colors used. I do not like white in my shoes and it's been difficult to find some with good support. These Clark wave trek shoes has been a great find!
Shopped all day in this shoe & loved its complete comfort! My heels do not hurt. It's a great walking shoe as well. Will be a favorite & will be purchasing more.

DGfS 2014 Workshop: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches to Relative Clauses Reconciled

Full Title: DGfS 2014 Workshop: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches to Relative Clauses Reconciled
Date: 05-Mar-2014 - 07-Mar-2014
Location: Marburg, Germany
Contact Person: Petra Schulz
Meeting Email:

Web Site:
Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Psycholinguistics; Typology
Call Deadline: 15-Aug-2013
Meeting Description:
The workshop is organized as part of the 36th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Linguistics (DGfS), to be held at the University of Marburg, Germany, March 5-7, 2014.
Invited Speaker:
Adriana Belletti (University of Siena)
Relative clauses have been at the center of research in linguistic theory, psycho- /neurolinguistics and language acquisition as well as cognitive psychology. However, these disciplines have so far generally focused on their own research agenda. One exception is the so-called object-subject asymmetry in relative clauses, which has been found in acquisition and processing studies across languages and which has recently been approached with the syntactic account of relativized minimality (cf. Friedmann/Belletti/Rizzi 2009). However, most facets of relative clauses have only received attention in parts of the field. For example, differences between restrictive and non-restrictive RCs have been investigated mostly from a semantic perspective. Likewise, research on different relative clause types, i.a. free relatives and continuative wh-relatives, and on the analysis of relative clauses (raising, modification, or matching, cf. Donati & Ceccetto 2011) has almost exclusively been undertaken in theoretical syntax. At the same time, aspects such as differences between center-embedding and right-branching, the effect of animacy and plausibility constraints have been mainly addressed in acquisition and/or processing research (e.g., Kidd et al. 2007, Mac Donald et al. 1994).
The primary goal of our workshop is to discuss current questions concerning the forms and functions of relative clauses both from a theoretical and experimental perspective in order to advance current linguistic research.
2nd Call for Papers:
We invite contributions investigating relative clauses in processing and in monolingual, bilingual, and impaired language acquisition as well as theoretical contributions focusing on syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, phonological, typological, or historical aspects of relative clauses. We explicitly welcome research addressing comparisons across different types of relative clauses and/or languages and/or populations. As the workshop aims at bringing together researchers from experimental and theoretical linguistics, we particularly welcome contributions that may build a bridge between empirical findings and linguistic theory and open up more closely intertwined research agendas for both fields.
We invite abstracts for 20 minute presentations. The presentations should clearly address the questions outlined in the description of the workshop. Please note that the language of the workshop is English, both for abstracts and presentations.
Abstracts should be at most 500 words; additional material, such as examples, figures, and references may be added on a second page. Any personal information (author's names, affiliation, email address) should be included in the body of the email. Please send the abstracts as pdf attachments by August 15 to P.Schulz em.uni-frankfurt.de, subject: DGfS 2014 - relative clause workshop.

Congrats to New Jersey Outboards!
February 4, 2012
Not only did our friends at New Jersey Outboards win the 2012 Marketing Partner of the Year Award from the Atlantic City Boat Show, but they are actually giving away (you heard it right), a new Sweetwater 2086 with a 40-horsepower Yamaha Outboard at the show this weekend. WOW!
So, you have to ask yourself the old Dirty Harry question...are you feeling lucky? Good luck to everyone heading to the show this weekend from South New Jersey, Philadelphia and all throughout the area!
If you still haven't made it over to the Atlantic City Convention Center, the show is open 10am to 5pm Sunday.

Extended maintenance of Ruby versions 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 ended on July 31, 2014. Read more
Create a package based upon a Gem::Specification. Gem packages, as well as zip files and tar/gzipped packages can be produced by this task.
In addition to the Rake targets generated by Rake::PackageTask, a Gem::PackageTask will also generate the following tasks:
Create a RubyGems package with the given name and version.
Example using a Gem::Specification:
require 'rubygems' require 'rubygems/package_task' spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.platform = Gem::Platform::RUBY s.summary = "Ruby based make-like utility." s.name = 'rake' s.version = PKG_VERSION s.requirements << 'none' s.require_path = 'lib' s.autorequire = 'rake' s.files = PKG_FILES s.description = <<-EOF Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax. EOF end Gem::PackageTask.new(spec) do |pkg| pkg.need_zip = true pkg.need_tar = true end
Ruby Gem::Specification containing the metadata for this package. The name, version and package_files are automatically determined from the gemspec and don't need to be explicitly provided.
Create a Gem Package task library. Automatically define the gem if a block is given. If no block is supplied, then define needs to be called to define the task.
# File rubygems/package_task.rb, line 79 def initialize(gem_spec) init gem_spec yield self if block_given? define if block_given? end
Create the Rake tasks and actions specified by this Gem::PackageTask. (
define is
automatically called if a block is given to
# File rubygems/package_task.rb, line 98 def define super task :package => [:gem] gem_file = gem_spec.file_name gem_path = File.join package_dir, gem_file gem_dir = File.join package_dir, gem_spec.full_name desc "Build the gem file #{gem_file}" task :gem => [gem_path] trace = Rake.application.options.trace Gem.configuration.verbose = trace file gem_path => [package_dir, gem_dir] + @gem_spec.files do when_writing "Creating #{gem_spec.file_name}" do Gem::Builder.new(gem_spec).build verbose trace do mv gem_file, gem_path end end end end
Commenting is here to help enhance the documentation. For example, code samples, or clarification of the documentation.
If you have questions about Ruby or the documentation, please post to one of the Ruby mailing lists. You will get better, faster, help that way.
If you wish to post a correction of the docs, please do so, but also file bug report so that it can be corrected for the next release. Thank you.

This is the first time I have used sorghum flour. . My gluten free dumplings and bread turned out well. If you have used different GF flours sometimes they have an off taste, but this flour worked well and tasted great. This is a definite keeper.
Excellent flour
Posted by 5092841180967450898 on Nov 01, 2013
Truly lovely, mild tasting fine milled flour, excellent for just about anything really. Mix it with rice flour & tapioca starch for an excellent gluten free all purpose blend.
Posted by 5020575515959404262 on Nov 13, 2013
Best gluten free flour

This flour has made my change to a gluten free diet easy. It is my staple in my mixes and an essential part of the bread and pancakes. The package has recipies on it and is informative about the produkt and the mill.
Posted by 5086084480570769239 on Apr 24, 2014
Just made a gluten-free bread with this flour. Bob's Red Mill products are really good.

mixed with spelt flour really nice bread
Great nutritious flour & Gluten Free
Posted by 4862199909849852669 on Aug 08, 2014
I love this flour. I add it to my gluten free cooking - they recommend substituting 15-20% of your normal flour for sorghum to add good nutrition to your diet. It adds a nice flavour to your cooking too. Highly recommend this product - and iHerb offers it at a great price.
One of my favourite flours!
Posted by southerninlaw on Nov 14, 2014
I love using Sorghum flours in cookies and brownies as it gives you an incredible texture and melt in your mouth results!
Great for gluten free baking!
Posted by Reviewer1190860 on Mar 29, 2015
This flour is sweet itself so no need for too much sugar!

Smells nice And sweet. I use this as pasrt of my GF flour blend.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (142 votes).
In short: Amazing race, really enjoyed the atmosphere!Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: fantastic enjoyable raceIn full: without doubt the most seamlessly organised race I have ever done.great course. scenery was lovely.will be back next year for sure.Date of review: September 17, 2009
Date of review: September 15, 2009
In short: Fast out, slow backIn full: Lovely run in the North Downs. Deceptively fast first 5k, and deceptively slow last 5k. I thought I was on for a big PB by 6k, then it all slowed down as we trudged back uphill. Very nice village event, will be back next year!Date of review: September 8, 2009
In short: If it asn't for the last pesky hill I would've had a PB, was nice to get a medal from Dame Kelly Holmes though, and the course was nice and challenging...Date of review: September 8, 2009
In short: Great location and challenging courseDate of review: September 8, 2009
In short: Once again a superb event on a fun course with lovely atmosphere. Date of review: September 7, 2009
In short: A good race asking a few more questions of your fitness than a flat 10k. Lovely village community feel to it.Date of review: September 7, 2009
In short: A challenging 10k with a wonderful village atmosphereIn full: This course is definetely undulating with lots of uphill in the latter half of the race. The organisers warned runners that the downhill immediately after the start was the uphill immediately before the end but that didn't make it any easier - it was tough and you would be challenged to get a pb on this course.This race has a lovely village feel to it, starting and finishing at the village green with lots of local support manning the bbq etc. Great to see Kelly Holmes there supporting a local event, handing out the finisher medals and signing race numbers etc.All in all a good race, well organised and one to look out for next year.Date of review: September 7, 2009
In short: Definitely a gold medal event made even more special by the presence of Dame Kelly Holmes - perfect !Date of review: September 6, 2009

U.S. Men Punch Ticket to Poland
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
ANAHEIM, Calif. (June 29, 2007) - The U.S. Men's National Team advanced to the final round of the FIVB World League for the first time since 2000 by capturing Pool B with a 3-1 (25-18, 23-25, 25-16, 31-29) victory over Italy on Friday in Naples.
The victory improves the U.S. Men's record to 9-2, putting them out of reach of second-place France (6-4). The U.S. Men will play one more match against Italy (3-6) on Sunday, July 1, in Avelino at the Pala Del Mauro. Match time in Italy is 5 p.m. (8 a.m. PDT; 11 a.m. EDT). The World League final round will be played July 11-15 in Katowice, Poland.
Live scoring and statistics are available on the FIVB World League web site at www.fivb.org/EN/Volleyball/Competitions/WorldLeague/2007/LiveScore/?sm=121.
Five of the U.S. starters scored in double digits, led by opposite Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.) with 26 points on 24 kills, one block and one ace. World League scoring leader and starting outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) added 17 points on 13 kills, three blocks and one ace.
Outside hitter Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) scored 13 points on 12 kills and one ace. Middle blocker Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) scored 11 points on eight kills and three blocks and middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) tallied 10 points on six kills, two blocks and two aces.
Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) started at setter and did not score, but was credited with 98 sets and no faults. Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) played libero and was credited with 17 "excellent" service receptions and one fault.
Middle blocker Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.), opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) and outside hitter Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) all substituted for the United States but did not score.
Outside hitter Matej Cernic led Italy with 15 points on 13 kills and two blocks. Middle blocker Andrea Sala added 12 points on seven kills, four blocks and one ace. Opposite Mauro Gavotto scored 11 points on nine kills, one block and one ace.
Not wanting to play a fifth set, Team USA battled back from Italy's set point six times in the fourth. The U.S. Men led the set 8-6 at the first technical timeout and 16-14 at the second. However Italy came back to tie the score at 18-18 and later took its first set point at 24-23. Lee's block of Gavotto tied the score at 24-24.
The Italians held set point at 25-24, 26-25, 27-26 and 28-27. Each time, the United States tied the score.
Finally, with Italy leading 29-28, Gardner put away his 23rd kill to tie the score. His 24th kill gave Team USA the match point at 30-29. Italian Head Coach Gianpaolo Montali called a timeout. But Cernic's attack went out of bounds, giving the United States the victory.
"It was important not to let it go to a fifth set," Gardner said. "We did not want to risk losing the match."
"The key to the match was our serve receive and, even more importantly, avoiding the fifth set," U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) added. "Now we want to repeat this success on Sunday in Avelino."
The United States last reached the World League final round in 2000 along with the host Netherlands Brazil, Italy, Russia and Yugoslavia. The U.S. Men finished sixth. Italy defeated Russia in the final and Brazil defeated Yugoslavia for third place. In 1992, the U.S. Men won the World League bronze medal.
On Friday, in the first set, the U.S. Men led 8-4 at the first technical timeout and 16-8 at the second. They built the lead to 18-9 before Italy came back and scored the next five points. However the United States maintained the lead for the 25-18 victory.
A crowd of 4,250 cheered on the Italians in the second set as they took an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout. Italy maintained a one or two-point lead until Team USA tied the score at 11-11. The United States held a 16-14 lead at the second technical timeout, but this time Italy battled back to tie the score at 17-17. Italy reached set point at 24-22. Lee's kill cut the lead to one, but Italy called a timeout and Cernic came back with his own kill to give his team the set win.
Team USA never trailed in the third set, leading 8-6 at the first technical timeout and 16-10 at the second. The U.S. Men extended their lead to 20-11 before eventually winning 25-16.
All World League matches played in the United States and the World League finals are scheduled to be shown on ESPNU.
The U.S. World League home matches were presented by GL7, the Official Sports Drink of USA Volleyball.

Great Customer Service - NOT!
Posted 12 December 2012 - 09:51 AM
I mentioned this to the tech, and he was literally like "DUH, I don't know. There are some differences between the functional of the stock boards from the 3 to the 4, but I don't know if the existing emortal board would work or not."
Me: "But it's in your manual, what do you mean you don't know?"
Him: "I'm not sure. I don't know."
Me: "Thanks for the help buddy."
So now I'm half tempted to send the gun back.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 09:10 PM
Plus differences in boards is moot in modern guns.
"You can't break a man the way you break a dog or a horse. The harder you beat a man, the taller he stands. To break a man's will, to break his spirit, you have to break his mind."

Posted 13 December 2012 - 02:02 PM
Really? Not to be an asshat here, but you didn't know about the eMortal board, bought the marker, got an idea that you could use some other board that you didn't know that existed, called to get a better idea about it, was told that the person that it would not work (Which contradicts what the manual says) and you claim bad customer service? I think you have things a bit off. Sounds more the tech didn't know what he was talking about, which is surprising, than bad customer service.
You're not being an asshat... I should have communicated that it was his attitude that was the bigger issue, tone, etc. That was the bad customer service piece. Rather than saying let me double check with someone else, or inform myself, so I can give you a coherent and factual answer. (which coincidentally I did get by emailing PE directly) - you can use the existing emortal board with the 4, as long as you increase the dwell by 1 ms.
I knew the emortal board existed, and already have boards on other guns I own, so that was not the issue. I was actually going to put a rampage board in the gun, but would rather put the emortal board in to keep the stock grips.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 02:04 PM
Because someone was honest with you instead of bullshitting you thats bad Customer Service?
Plus differences in boards is moot in modern guns.
No - it was the guy's attitude (which I failed to put in my original post). When someone calls me with a question, and I don't know the answer, I look it up for them, or tell them I will get back to them with the correct info - that is good customer service, and the way it should be done. I would never say, I'm not sure, I don't know and leave it at that... He failed to offer assistance. Hence bad customer service.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (593 votes).
In short: Another success for Bitton!In full: My 6th consecutive year - this is the only race that I never get bored of! Superb organisation by Bitton, fantastic friendly atmosphere, the high from this race lasts for days!! Always leaves a big smile on my face. Can we have more deeper mud next year please??? At almost 6ft tall it didn't quite reach chest height! Here's looking forward to 2012!Date of review: November 15, 2011
In short: Amazing muddy run!In full: I did the slog for the first time last year and instantly it became a favourite. I would travel from abroad to come back to this race.Organisation is fantastic, crowds are brilliant, the course just makes you grin like an idiot the whole way round and the 2 minute silence prior to the race is a great moment for all to remember those lost.Slight shame that there is no longer a race t-shirt in the goodie bag and my only tiny tiny fault is that the goodie bag seemed far less quality this year than before. Also, have to laugh at those who entered the slog and did their best to avoid all the mud, not really sure of the point since the slog is known for the mud. Just get in and enjoy yourself! All in all a fantastic run (despite losing my shoe!So glad I found it again!)Date of review: November 15, 2011
In short: good-natured and fun, if muckyDate of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Loved it!Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Never fails to tick all the boxes!In full: Although the 'new' course can't quite compete with the old one, there was as much mud and water as Gordon could find, and little or no queues to get in or out of the ditches! Lovely to have the towel instead of the usual t-shirt, and the goodie-bag was better then most. The day is always made special by the 2-minute silence and Last Post before the start, and it allows you to reflect when the going gets tough later in the race! Thanks Bitton RR.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In full: My first time doing this race and I loved it! Great atmostphere and well organised. Great fun will do again.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Glorious MudIn full: Great run - Well done all involved.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Haunted by ...In full: the ghosts of Slogs past when I was overtaken by a man dressed as a banana. As usual the race was wonderful and, unusually, so was the weather. Galloping cows, cow pats and criminal amounts of mud all added to the experience.The only gripe is having to queue for the finish line. I felt the longer it became the more irrelevant 'finishing' times were. Also having to queue for goody bag/drink didn't seem as well organised as previous years. I recommend it: the most fun you can have in public on a Sunday morning whilst wearing lycra tights and a vest. Thanks to the marshall who high-fived me at mile four or was it five?(he wore a dress, pink tights and a red wig) All normal for the Slog.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Top notchIn full: Loved it ... mud, water, squelch, OUCH!, nettles, mud, hills, fields, OUCH! mud, mud, hills, water ........ and then a bit of a boring bit at the end between the houses ... but all in all, fantastic!Date of review: November 13, 2011
In short: A superb event!Date of review: November 13, 2011

President Marcia Hawkins, Ph.D., addressed the Union College student body for the first time during fall convocation, urging them to reject mediocrity and expect excellence from themselves and the institution.
As keynote speaker, Union's 19th president offered students not the ABCs, but the "ABCD and Es for our first academic year together."
"Be aware, be bold, be curious, be deliberate and be excellent," Hawkins said. She told students they should be aware in everything they do, both physically and mentally. They should take charge of their education, exploring and expanding their horizons. She also urged students to be curious and ask questions, and to be deliberate when setting goals.
Hawkins emphasized particularly the advice associated with the letter E: "Expect excellence from me, and I promise I will expect excellence from you," she said. "Don't accept mediocrity at Union. Let's respect each other enough to expect excellence."
Union College Excellence in Teaching Award winner Kyung Hoon Lee, D.B.A., also addressed students, encouraging them to take chances.
Lee referenced a Korean parable about a frog in a water well that had two choices: to either stay put and see only that world for the rest of his life, or to leap out and see a world that he could never imagine. Lee urged students to make the leap.
"Try new things," Lee said. "Diverse experiences will make you strong."
Richie Mathes, Student Government Association president, reiterated Lee's remarks.
"We all have a role at Union," he said. "To enhance that role, you need to get out of your comfort zone."
The ceremony was held Thursday, Aug. 30, in Robsion Memorial Arena. Fall convocation marks the official start of Union's academic year and is held annually.
Union College is a private, liberal arts institution associated with the United Methodist Church.

Dirk Luther has taken his Restaurant Meierei at Alter Meierhof Vitalhotel in Glücksburg on the Baltic Sea to the pinnacle of German cuisine.
After a solid, classic apprenticeship in Hamburg's finest restaurants, Dirk Luther has constantly updated his classic style of cooking. The integration of new cooking methods, light, natural sauces, variations in texture and temperature to intensify the arc of suspense and the broadening of the flavour spectrum are the cornerstones of his food, which is and always has been produce-centred cuisine par excellence. This continued development has resulted in increasingly well-defined and more exciting structural flavour and texture combinations without overwhelming the palate. A few well-chosen accents set off the finest ingredients to perfection on the plate.
One illustration of the craftsmanship and precision that Luther and his team bring to their task is his mackerel / celeriac / mustard gherkins. The mackerel is briefly grilled then cooked in clarified butter to retain all its wonderful succulence. Next, Luther adds a natural cucumber bouillon, lightly sautéed fjord shrimps, a gherkin vinegar jelly, celeriac purée, a little deep-fried shrimp shell for texture, braised cucumber, cress and marinated gherkin pearls. The resulting interplay between the sour, subliminally sweet, vegetable and herbal notes supports the flavour of the mackerel wonderfully, with the shrimps further underlining its iodinous character. Even more multifaceted is his lobster / nutmeg pumpkin / shallot, which elicits a fabulously intense lobster/pumpkin duality from a variety of lobster and pumpkin structures.

S/O Would you get rid of an animal for a child? EDIT
- 877 Replies
I cannot believe the responses to the other post. I get loving your animal, but if the child is allergic, the animal has to go. I dont care if its just her step kid that is allergic, it shouldnt even be a question.
Edit: Wow, I went to bed with 100 responses and woke up to 300 lol I didnt realize this would take off like this....
So new question...
For those of you that are fine with just medicating the kid, so you can keep your beloved pet, what if you were the BM in this situation. Would you be okay with Dad drugging your child, with several benedryl a day, everytime your kid goes for visitation?
My son is allergic to our cats, they are still here and will remain here.
Quoting 428pm:
My son is allergic to our cats, they are still here and will remain here.
How allergic?
The step kid doesn't live there full time. Why should the home's dynamic change? The dad is moving in with HER not the other way around. If she was moving in with HIM and he said to get rid of the pets then she has to get rid of them or not move in with him.
uhh duh!!
actually we just had a nicu baby who had oxygen/breathing issues. we were advised to eliminate all breathing stressors so our two doggies got moved to the garage.
It's also important to note in the other post it was stated the kid would only be there twice a month and she is keeping the child and the cats separated
Oh...an allergy? I would not get rid of an animal over an allergy.

I'm hoping the aftershocks won't cause any more severe damage... The nuclear power plants may be ok, but the people aren't

F&M Gets Revenge Against Messiah, TCNJ Looms
from press release
LANCASTER, Pa. – Franklin & Marshall avenged one of its two losses this season, defeating Messiah College 7-4 in the Regional Semifinals of the NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse Tournament on Saturday. The victory gives the Diplomats (19-2) an opportunity to avenge their only other loss this year as F&M will face The College of New Jersey on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. in the Regional Final. TCNJ defeated Catholic 15-9 to advance to Sunday's contest.
Lauren Ehrhardt and Cat Serpe scored identical goals 11 minutes apart to give F&M a 2-0 lead in the first half. Both Diplomats tightroped the Falcolns' (18-2) goal circle, appeared on the left post, and went top left for goals. Messiah answered with brilliant solo efforts from Rachel Dirksen and Cecilia Kjellman to knot it at 2-2, with 6:08 in the first. Kjellman's equalizer was a laser from no angle on the right side that somehow managed to find a home inside of the far post.
Two minutes later, Serpe once again appeared on the Falcons' left post to finish another goal-circle run to give the Diplomats a 3-2 lead heading into the half. Messiah was unable to tie the game again from that point forward, largely because of unforced turnovers.
The Falcons gave the ball away 16 times. Only eight of the turnovers were forced. Jordan Quinn caused three of the eight turnovers that F&M had a hand in. She also secured three ground balls to lead a Diplomats defense that limited Messiah to 14 shots. Kelsey Hoffman provided solid backup with six saves. Her counterpart, Taylor Phillips, denied nine of F&M's 23 advances.
Serpe's second goal was the first in a three-goal run by F&M, opening a 5-2 lead with 23:03 left in the game. Erin Dunne had a hand in the latter pair. She struck first, outflanking the Falcons on the right to find a clear lane to the goal. Five minutes later, she fed Lauren Selawski to extend the lead to three. It was the only assist in a game dominated by the defenses.
Kjellman stopped the bleeding with another individual effort. Running down the right side of the fan, she shook a Diplomat defender to the turf, cut back in front of the goal and went over the top of two defenders and Hoffman, making it 5-3. Kjellman and Serpe were the only players that hit paydirt on multiple occasions. Kara Geiman got the Falcons back within one, 5-4 before Caroline Krohn took her turn coming off of the left post to put it away. Maggie Mae Shields threw in a free position goal with 6:40 left in the game to make it 7-4.
The Diplomats won the ensuing draw and never lost possession the rest of the way.
The win gives F&M a home winning-streak of 11 games in the NCAA tournament. That will be tested on Sunday by TCNJ, which snapped F&M's 23-game home-winning streak in the regular season. It was only the second loss the Diplomats have suffered on Tylus Field, which opened for play in 2008. It was only the third home loss F&M had suffered since the start of the 2005 season. Opening draw is set for 1:00 p.m.

Great Global Hackerspace Challenge Proposal
i3 Detroit
As an active educational force in our community, with a diverse, experienced, and passionate membership, i3 Detroit is exactly the kind of hackerspace this challenge was made for!
i3 Detroit draws our members from all over the Detroit area, a region where particularly hard economic times have endangered quality education, so the theme of this challenge is near and dear to our hearts. Our local students and teachers have faced many challenges, and as contestants, we would gather their input and focus on the real issues they face.
As a Michigan nonprofit corporation organized for educational and research purposes, this challenge is squarely in line with our past, current and future activities. We strive to serve our entire community by making our membership open and affordable, as well as by organizing activities for all ages. As a result, our project and the tools we would receive as contestants would benefit a wide group of people, including many students.
Just as importantly, we have the means to pull off, and document, an awesome project. We have over 50 active members with a wide base of experience, including electronics experts, teachers, and multimedia producers. We also have a dedicated electronics lab, and fabrication equipment including a mill, lathe, makerbot and laser cutter.
Our track record shows our ability to deliver both education and cool projects. We've mentored FIRST robotics teams for the past two years, held workshops for girl scouts, and taught kids how to make their own silly bands. Our member projects took home 8 editor's choice ribbons and the 1st Place Power Wheels trophy at Maker Faire Detroit 2010. Some of our most memorable projects, like the life-sized bristle bot and giant Red Green statue, demonstrate our ability to work collaboratively, an essential skill for this challenge.
We're i3 Detroit. We have what it takes to make a difference, and we're geeked to do it!

Ukrainian Tereshuk captures women gold in Palm Springs modern pentathlon
Reprinted from the Palm Springs Desert Sun
Victoria Tereshuk thought her storied career as one of the best athletes to compete for Ukraine was coming to a close.
The 2011 World Champion in Modern Pentathlon had already been part of two Olympic Games, got married, had a son, then decided to give it a try once again in London. However, her third Olympic trip was not what she expected, so it was time to decide.
After finishing 23rd in last summer's Olympic Games, Tereshuk discussed her training with her husband and returned to competition again.
On Saturday, the 31-year-old blew past the leaders in the final 100 meters of the World Cup of Modern Pentathlon. Tereshuk beat out China's Xiaonan Zhang, who had opened the women's final with a world record in fencing and held on to the top spot through the first three events of the five discipline sport.
Tereshuk also passed reigning Olympic bronze medalist Yane Marques of Brazil en route to gold.
"After the Olympic Games, I'm thinking I'm getting old and will finish my career," said a stunned Tereshuk, who won Olympic bronze in Beijing in 2008 and was seventh in Athens in 2004. "I sit at home and cook the meals and my husband says, maybe you try. Now in this competition, I think he was right to start training."
Zhang, 20, who was making her international debut in her first trip to the United States, posted a near-perfect performance. She began the day with a world record 30-5 win-loss mark in fencing, was solid in the swim and only dropped 60 points on the ride. She battled tough competition from eventual bronze winner Marques throughout the day, but stayed on top of the standings to start the final event of the combined (run-shoot).
However, it was the veteran Tereshuk who outpaced the younger field in the end despite starting with a 24-second handicap. Tereshuk placed seventh in fencing, 14th in the swimming and scored 1,160 points out of a possible 1,200 in the show jump where seven riders posted perfect riding marks.
She needed her best performance in the combined where the athletes run four legs of 800 meters and in between shoot a target with a laser pistol.
"My first shoot series was mistakes, but then I made less mistakes and I ran fast at the end for the gold medal," Tereshuk said. "It's a surprise for me, but I'm very happy."
With the first World Cup meet of the year in the books, Tereshuk says she's looking too far ahead. She'll take each competition as it comes. Rio de Janiero is the next World Cup stop, but the 2016 Olympic Games, also in Rio, is not on her radar.
"I'm not looking to Rio because four years is too much," she said. "I don't know now. Maybe."
The two Americans in the final field, sisters Margaux and Isabella Isaksen, finished out of medal contention.
Margaux was having a strong start in fencing (fourth), but slowed in the swim, battled back in the ride (14th) and was slowed again in the laser shoot.
Although her run was solid, the misses at the shoot sent her to seventh overall. Her sister, competing for the first time in the senior, elite-level competition finished 29th.
The final day of World Cup action is today and features the first Mixed Relay in a World Cup event. The modern pentathlon union (UIPM) is looking for the mixed event to be a medal sport in Rio.

Our opinion: A crisis of conscience
Forty-six people were killed in Iraq last Sunday, as it becomes clearer and clearer U.S. strategy to pacify that country was a dismal, bloody, expensive failure.
More than 3,000 people have been killed in Iraq during the past few months. Much of the violence seems to involve battles among Sunni and Shiite religious factions.
If that sounds to you like history repeating itself, you are absolutely right.
After toppling the late Saddam Hussein's brutal regime in Iraq, U.S. officials set about the ambitious task of installing what they hoped – and at times bragged – would be a peaceful, democratic culture.
Nearly 4,500 Americans gave their lives in the process of "regime change" in Iraq. Tens of thousands of others were wounded, some maimed severely for life.
Billions of dollars were poured into Iraq – and the flow of money has not stopped.
Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq came when that country's new rulers said they were ready to run the country on their own, without outside military help. Clearly, they were wrong.
Violence is increasing in Iraq. There have been discussions among that nation's leaders about asking for renewed U.S. military involvement.
As matters stand, that should not be considered. There is no reason to believe a more effective long-term strategy of pacifying Iraq has been devised.
U.S. involvement in Iraq seems to have changed little, if anything. Going back would merely waste more American dollars – and lives.
It is a lesson that has been spoken and unspoken in the recent maelstrom of debate regarding Syria. It is the nagging fear that our military involvement, no matter how limited in that civil war, will somehow become less limited and infinitely more expensive in lives and treasure.
America is weary of hauling the coal for the rest of the free world. We agree that the common sense conclusion is that Bashar Assad's forces launched a chemical attack on Syrians. It has happened before and likely will happen again. But, despite international law and U.N. resolution that makes such action not just abhorrent but illegal, the international community appears to have no appetite for taking action against it.
A crime repeatedly unprosecuted, unpunished, ultimately ceases to be a crime.
If there was ever evidence that the United Nations is a fatally impotent keeper of the peace, this is an exhibit.
So, the question becomes, does it fall to the United States of America to be the world's peacekeeper, the sole prosecutor of crimes against humanity? The exigencies of that role have proven terrible over the past half century. And, whether expressed or not, they weigh heavily on the minds of Americans who have to balance their natural instinct for compassion and justice with the knowledge gained from a bloody experience in the not-so-distant past.
