Is Your Altar as Big as Your Heart?
When I was twelve years old I put my heart on God's altar. It happened on a Sunday morning when Mr. Stewart, the superintendent of the junior high Sunday school department in my church, exhorted us mightily to give our all to the Lord. I don't remember what he said, just that he spoke with intense passion about giving our all to Christ. As I listened I remember distinctly thinking, "That's what I thought it's all about. That's what I did when I trusted Jesus as my Savior." I became a Christian in my kitchen with my mother when I was five years old, and it was the real thing. My heart was on the altar for Christ and at twelve I made sure it would stay there.
But that was not the end of it. It couldn't be.
Leadership is broken because leaders are unbroken
McMansions in the Sky Leaders today are building eternal edifices on temporal foundations. The result? McMansions in the sky that lack foundations and crash leaving crushed hopes, confused leaders, and questioning followers. Everyone asks, "What happened?" What happened is what Jesus said would happen. When we build leaders and ministries on the sand of human talent, experience, and success, the storms of life bring them crashing down all around us...
All of us are familiar with the definition of insanity as doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. Based on that definition, Christian thinking about leadership is beyond insane. Leadership is broken, and we continue to count on talent, experience, and success to fix leadership, even when it's evident that these factors fail to fix the problem. In fact, talent, experience, and success hinder us from accomplishing God's leadership call to us. We're caught up in a leadership fad, not the first fad the church has ever faced.
Now we will jump to the beginning of the story of Job's struggle. Specifically, what caused this suffering to come upon Job?
Topical Index of Hal's Blogs
We begin this article starting after the test has been administered and now begins the debrief facilitated by God. We find Job acknowledging his weaknesses and at last he is motivated to change.
Disclaimer: If I were in Job's shoes I probably would have done far worse. This series is not to slander and libal Job but rather to learn from his mistakes.
Journal excerpt 2012: "Do I look like a Christian? If I'm a follower of Christ, then why is my life so compromised? Why is there so much sin, so much fear, so little faith? Dare I stand up and identify myself with Christ? Will I not shame Him and shame myself?"
I was beginning to doubt my own salvation.
Everywhere I turned I saw flashing lights and warning signals.
"Put yourselves to the test to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize regarding yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you – unless, indeed, you fail the test!" (2 Corinthians 13:5).
The purpose of this study is to understand the role of suffering in a Christian's life. We will be studying the classic case of suffering found in the Book of Job. Realize, God describes the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10); therefore, we will be starting at the end of the story and working our way to the beginning.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not put Humpty Dumpty together again
I don't know how old I was when I learned about Humpty Dumpty. Maybe my brain came pre-wired with this ditty on it, since it's been a part of my memory for so long. I guess my mother taught it to me, and we probably laughed at poor Humpty Dumpty the way a little boy and his mother laugh at silly nursery rhymes.
But Humpty Dumpty is no laughing matter, certainly not to him.
By now I'm sure you've seen it since it's been on the web. A friend of mine sent it to me the other day. The subject line read, "The First King Size Bed." Curious, I opened I and saw an infant size manger full of hay, just the right message for the season.
I loved it! What a perfect picture of leadership, unbroken leadership our kind of leadership, the kind of leaders we long to be.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them. "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things about you falsely ON ACCOUNT OF ME. Rejoice and be glad because your reward is great in heaven, for they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way. (Matthew 5:10-12)
Again, the Greek word for blessed (i.e., makarios) used here has a meaning of being fortunate, prosperous or successful. That is, successful are those that are suffer persecution when doing the right thing! Successful are those that suffer from insults, persecution, and slander when living a life that represents Jesus! Note these verses do NOT say that suffering brought upon ourselves via poor behavior will make us successful! Self-induced suffering (i.e., suffering we experience as a consequence of our incorrect actions) has no spiritual value (1 Peter 4:15. 1 Peter 2:20. 1 Peter 3:17).
We have often confused peacemaking with peacekeeping. What we typically think is that peacemakers are those that take one for the team. Furthermore, if we have been hurt then we misguidedly think pursuing peace is keeping quiet or not speaking truth or only sharing part of the truth. We equate being passive with peacemaking. We withhold and bend truth not speaking how we really feel. We may be thinking that we are doing what is best for the team or relationship. However, peace is far more than the absence of conflict it is the presence of mercy and justice. True peace produces a relationship that brings even enemies together (Proverbs 16:7). Realize, fighting can be stopped without mercy and justice; however, you cannot live peaceably without them.
What works is a desperate question. Or it often is. It can be a legitimate question, of course, the valid inquiry of a leader who seeks new ideas to meet challenging needs.
But often it is the question of a desperate leader who has tried everything he knows to do and he's run out of ideas but not out of needs. What he's run out of is leadership. He doesn't know what to do, but he has to do something. So he asks, his friends, "What works?" He goes to conferences asking, "What works? He reads books and watches videos and listens to podcasts asking what works? Finally he settles on something because he has to. Frequently it's a copycat effort, taking a great idea from one place—a very successful place—and importing it into his place. That doesn't work.
Of course it doesn't work. How could it?
Leadership is broken today. The evidence abounds all around us.
*Leaders search for solutions only to discover bigger problems than ever.
*Followers seek for leaders of integrity only to find pursuers of self-interest.
*Organizations long for leaders who unify only to find controllers who divide.
*Staff members hope for leaders who value them only to find ambitious men and women who use them.
*Wives hope for strong men to lead them only to find passive men who avoid them.
*Children crave fathers who will nurture them only to find selfish men who ignore them.
Perhaps the greatest evidence of broken leadership in our world is the number of books that have been written on the topic.
"Whom could I find to reconcile me to you? Was I to seek the help of angels? By what prayer, what sacraments? Many people in their attempts to return to you and not being able to do so by their own strength have, so I hear, tried this way and have fallen into a desire for strange visions and have become, rightly, the victim of delusions…. They were seeking a mediator through whom to become clean, but this was not he. It was the devil" – "The Confessions of St. Augustine", Book X, Chapter 42.[1]
What is it that causes us to have such polarizing opinions about such things as the Zimmerman case? Certainly the desire for justice should be a motivating force to cause us to speak out. I understand the utter disappointment of those who sincerely thought that a crime had been committed when the life of a Treyvon Martin had been taken. If that had been my son I would be demanding some type of justice too. Our legal system ran its course in this case and a verdict was rendered. We can have an opinion on that
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matthew 5:7)
Again, the Greek word for blessed (i.e., makarios) used here has a meaning of being fortunate, prosperous or successful. That is, successful are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness! Why? Because they shall be satisfied! Satisfied with what? Righteousness of course! What is righteousness? Glad you asked! Righteousness(1) is the spiritual condition of being found right with, acceptable to or fully pleasing to God! That is, those that hunger and thirst to be found right with, acceptable to or fully pleasing to God will find that hunger completely satisfied. The relevant question is then... just how hungry are you for righteousness? (Jeremiah 29:13)
She could hardly move, the bent over elderly woman whose hip had thrust its way so out of joint that she needed a cane to walk. Even then she could only inch her way forward. It was offering time at the Rose of Sharon Church in Kabwe, Zambia; the band was playing as the singers told of Elijah and the coming of salvation and how Jehovah saves. The offering basket is not passed among the people in most African churches. Instead they stream forward to put their contributions in at the front of the church, and that's the way it is at the Rose of Sharon Church...
The Communists said there is no God. The people of Biserica Baptista Speranta (Hope Baptist Church) thought differently no matter what the Communists said.

Thank you, Oh Calacanis, for explaining exactly what everyone means by Web 3.0.
Why, just this morning someone asked me what Web 2.0 meant and I had to say it's fairly meaningless term slapped on anything that isn't a book by marketeers desperate to make their social networking/community/buzz monitoring/mobile/aggregation non-product sound slightly more interesting than it isn't.
Sorry - it's been a long week.
Jason describes Web 3.0 as "the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technology as an enabling platform."
Some uncharitable individuals on his blog has suggested that this definition conveniently describes his latest human-powered search project Mahalo.
"Gifted individuals"?
"Web 2.0 services like digg and YouTube evolve into Web 3.0 services with an additional layer of individual excellence and focus. As an example, funnyordie.com leverages all the standard YouTube Web 2.0 feature sets like syndication and social networking, while adding a layer of talent and trust to them.
"A version of digg where experts check the validity of claims, corrected errors, and restated headlines to be more accurate would be the Web 3.0 version. However, I'm not sure if the digg community will embrace that any time soon."
funnyordie.com is one of the companies funded by Sequoia, who Jason works for. Someone else pointed out that we really should be over this whole "versionista" fad, another had heard 8 different definitions of 'Web 3.0' since July and someone else said what he is actually describing is Online Journalism 3.0.
Calacanis had the last laugh though; he is fully aware that posting anything this contentious drives stupid amounts of traffic to his site, and probably pays for a nice dinner out via the advertising too. Ponder that next time you digg him.
PS. We saw your puppies on Cute Overload Jason. Don't think we didn't.

The Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) today announced the top five trends Canadians should be aware of when shopping at their local health food store in 2015.
The top five trends are:
New and interesting oils with fancy fats
In 2014 coconut oil was all the rage, and while it has many health benefits, we are seeing more and more people using unconventional oils, each offering their own unique health advantages. Some of the oils that will be trending in 2015, include:
- Avocado Oil – Rich in monounsaturated fats and Vitamin E and with a high smoke point which makes it better for use in cooking than olive oil.
- Camelina Oil – Rich in mono- and poly-unsaturated fats with high proportion of Omega-3s for cardiovascular health.
- Flax Seed Oil – Rich in alpha-linolenic Omega-3 fats.
Digestive health
Digestive health is poised to reign supreme in 2015. Increasingly, natural health products that support digestion, including a diversifying probiotic category, are being linked to health benefits beyond digestive and intestinal health, such as mental health, skin health and weight maintenance, among other benefits. In 2015 consumers can expect to see new natural health products focused on supporting the health of the digestive tract including L-glutamine, new probiotics and different forms of dietary fibre.
The trend of supporting digestion also extends to fermented foods, which are no longer limited to kimchi, tempeh and sauerkraut. Fermentation can liberate nutrients in foods and help our body better absorb them. The process of fermentation also increases some anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant compounds in foods. In 2015, consumers should expect to see a plethora of new foods in different fermented forms including bars, powders and capsules.
Pumpkin is primed to be the Kale of 2015. From oils to seeds, we are going to see an increase in the use of pumpkin in healthy products across the country. This unique vegetable has many health benefits and has been linked to heightened prostate and urinary tract health. Pumpkin seeds are also rich in B vitamins, vitamin E, zinc and essential fatty acids. Pumpkin flesh also touts strong health benefits, as it is rich in nutrients including beta-carotene, a pre-cursor to Vitamin A, crucial for healthy reproduction, immune system, health and vision.
GMO labeling
In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of food containing GMOs. In Canada, GMO labelling demands are on the rise as we see an increase in consumers demanding to know where their food comes from and the impact that producing it has on the environment. While the debate surrounding GMO foods continues, suppliers are increasingly stepping up to the plate and offering certified organic products, which is an assurance that foods are produced without the use of GMOs. Through third-party certification, such Non-GMO Project Verified and Organic Certification suppliers will continue to voluntarily disclose that their products are produced without the use of GMOs. This trend will continue throughout 2015 in response to consumer demands and increasing labelling activism in Canada.

Last Christmas Aston Villa shipped 15 goals without reply. Manager Paul Lambert did not panic and neither did his employer, Randy Lerner.
Villa clambered to safety, Lerner invested in seven signings at a net £10m deficit, and they won at Arsenal on the opening day. Optimism returned for the first time since Martin O'Neill left.
That heady win at the Emirates is now seen for what it was: a mirage. Villa have lost four on the trot leaving them three points clear of the drop after Thursday's home defeat by Crystal Palace.
Today they are back at Villa Park, facing Swansea City, but that is of little solace to a team with the worst home goalscoring record in the country – six in 18 games. A counter-attacking approach beat Arsenal and Manchester City but fails against teams who sit back.
On Boxing Day the crowd finally turned on their side and there were reports that Andreas Weimann reacted to abuse. Barry Bannan, the former Villa player who excelled for Palace, said: "I played here and it's hard to play your normal game when the fans get on your back. It takes big characters."
Lambert hopes his team has the courage to block out the jeers. "This is a big club, pressure goes with that," he said. "I know what it's like. I lost my first three games at Celtic, people were saying 'go back to Dortmund'. That was 60,000 saying I was not good enough until I got a grip of it.
"So I know criticism, but this team are young, they need support. People talk about the bravery of going in for a tackle and blood, guts and thunder. Bravery is also taking a ball in front of 40,000 in an area where people just shy away from it. We are a million miles from where I want to be and the lads are edgy, but as long as they don't hide I'll never criticise them."

It's that time of year again! Another 4 months have passed, and we've put together a whole host of new resources just for you. We've pulled together an entire list for you here to make it really easy to find everything.
(And don't forget about the resources we've had for a while! You can find them in our Referral Resource Round-Up: April 2013 post and our Referral Resource Round-Up post from December 2012.)
1. Your Referrer Webpage
Your official Career Step webpage should always be your #1 resource. Directing interested contacts to your referrer webpage ensures you receive credit for them when they enroll. We've recently redesigned this page to make it even more helpful.
Media tab: The navigation at the top now includes a Media page that contains many of our videos, tours, and ebooks as well as a link to the program demos and our new Career Finder Quiz. We've had most of these resources for a while and they're all available in the Referral Resource Center, but now it's easy for your contacts to find and access them all right from your page.
MyCAA tab: There's also now a MyCAA tab at the top to make it easier for eligible military spouses to find information on this unique funding source.
You can view your page by visiting http://referral.careerstep.com/ref12070 and replacing the last 5 digits with your own Referrer ID. If you've forgotten your Referrer ID, email me at email@example.com, and I can look it up for you.
2. Updated Banners in the Referral Resource Center
With the recent launch of our new Career Step logo, we have updated each web banner and brochure in the Referral Resource Center with our new branding. You'll find new copy, new images, and new sizes available for the web banners. To learn more about the new Career Step brand, check out our official press release. And let us know if there's a specific banner you're looking for that we're not currently offering!
3. Introducing the Referral Dashboard
At the beginning of July, we launched the Referral Dashboard, a new resource that allows you to track your leads and enrollments each month. The dashboard is updated in real-time, so you'll be looking at the most up-to-date information. You can access the Referral Dashboard at referral.careerstep.com/dashboard, and we even have a short introduction video.
4. New Programs
On August 1, we launched a new program—Professional Medical Coding and Billing. This program is expert designed to prepare students for the new ICD-10 code set. It was built by AHIMA-Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainers and a number of other experts with decades of experience teaching medical coding, and it replaces our Inpatient and Outpatient Medical Coding and Billing program as well as our older Outpatient Medical Coding and Billing course. There are new resources for this program available in the Referral Resource Center to help you start sharing this great new program with your friends!
We also launched our new ICD-10 FastTrack course. This program became officially available on September 1, and it's designed for medical coders who've already completed a training program and are looking to update their skills to include ICD-10 coding. To celebrate this new course, we're doing something a little unprecedented by offering $50 for a limited time when someone you refer enrolls in this new course even though we don't typically offer referral bonuses for our continuing education and supplemental course. Find all the details in this recent post.
5. New Infographics to Share
Not only did we launch several new medical coding and billing programs, we also put together an infographic that organizes all of the medical coding and billing career details in a fun way. You can share the new infographic with your friends by visiting this blog post and using the SHARE THIS tools in the top right section of the post. We also published a new Back-to-School infographic that details many reasons people have for NOT returning to school in contrast to the many benefits of pursuing higher education. Be sure to share both infographics with your contacts and look for several new ones coming soon!
6. Career Finder Quiz
Finally, be sure to check out our new Career Finder Quiz! We've put together this short survey tool to help prospective students determine what program would be best for them. By answering a few simple questions about their goals, career preferences, and interests the Career Finder will be able to provide personalized recommendations on the best career option for that individual. Next time a contact asks what program would be best for them, refer them to the Career Finder Quiz. They can access the quiz from the new Media tab on your referrer webpage.
Hopefully all of these new resources are helpful in your referral efforts! We're hard at work creating even more, and we'll be sure to keep you in the know as new tools become available. Don't see something you think would be useful? Leave us a comment below and let us know what you'd like to have us add.

After Dark
A rough poem explaining feelings towards someone that you have spoken to intensely by exchanging messages, growing an intensely deep bond more-so than that of just simple means of communication - yet having not spent any time with this person other than the messages.
I think you're perfect, beautiful.
But you will never know.
The way I feel about you is something i'll never show.
I want to watch crappy shows with you
And drink tea like it's in our blood.
But there is no progression here
And that is just no good.
Is it possible to love someone
From solely eye contact?
We'll converse till 3.am my dear
I'm losing sleep for you and that's a fact.
I see it in my head my love
My head on your chest, your hands in my hair.
Will I ever be in your arms,
Will I ever be truly there?
I see your dark eyes when I close my blues,
And the blues you've given me from the start.
If I cut it out and mailed you it,
Would you accept my heart?

This May the hawthorn is giving us an exceptional treat; it is seldom that we have such a fine show, not only on the larger trees but on the hedges. Flowering trees, as a whole, are well decorated this year. In addition to annual variation we always find some individuality, both in the abundance of flower and fruit and in its time of appearance. This is noticed by a correspondent who sends me a thick cluster of elm fruit from Bakewell, telling me that although there are many elms in flower none is so crowded with fruit as the one from which he obtained the bunch. The fruit is from a wych elm, but both this and the common elm vary from year to year, usually only flowering well every second or third year.
A correspondent was surprised to find a bumble-bee, amongst ties and straw hats, in a shop window in Manchester, but the insect may have got amongst boxes in transit, or it may have arrived in Manchester in produce bound for Shudehill, and have flown into the shop in its search for a suitable habitation. Possibly we need not imagine that it came direct from the country, for there are flowers in all our parks, and where there are flowers there are bees. Although bees are wonderfully clever at remembering and finding their way, they sometimes blunder; instinct or intelligence, whichever we prefer to call it, is not infallible.

I have always been a advocate for having 16 year old cards but I am not narrow minded enough to see the different view points as to why it would be beneficial to play at least 1 year of Major Midget hockey.
However I would argue that there are typically quite a few 16 year olds ready to play Jr hockey so why hold them back? Also for some families it is alot cheaper and easier for their son to play Jr. rather than say AAA. There are families that simply cannot afford the monetary cost or the time cost to play AAA so if they cannot do that and they are not allowed to play Jr. some will be forced to play Midget Rep whether it is A or B depending where they live and for those kids it is kind of a wasted year.
I think Hockey Canada is doing the right thing here in limiting the # that are allowed to play yet not completely taking the opportunity away from the players capable of playing at the Jr. level at that age.
Just my opinion but I do see both sides of the arguement.

It all started on October 14, 1922. Well, according to BYU, anyway. Utah claims the first meeting between the schools was on April 6, 1896, when BYU was still Brigham Young Academy.
It's just one of many things the two schools don't agree on. The Academy played Utah six times between 1896 and 1898, before Provo could officially boast its own full-fledged university. Each team won three games.
The Cougars and the Utes have built a strong tradition of intense competition in the 83 years of the rivalry. With the exception of the war years from 1943-45, the two schools have faced each other every year since 1922.
The Utes dominated the series early on, avoiding defeat until 1942, when the Cougars finally won, 12-7, in Salt Lake City behind Coach Floyd Millet. The success was short-lived, however, as it took BYU another 16 years to win another contest, 14-7, again in Salt Lake City in 1958. In all, Utah won 34 of the first 40 contests, four of which were ties.
In 1965, the momentum began to turn in BYU's favor. The Cougars took three in a row from the Utes from 1965-67, and although Utah won the next four, the competition had become much more interesting.
In 1972, the series took on an entirely different feeling with the arrival of LaVell Edwards as BYU's new head coach. He took on a program that had gone 5-38-4 (.149) against its fiercest rival and proceeded to post a 22-7 (.757) record against Utah in 29 years, including wins in 15 of his first 16 meetings with the Utes. In the Edwards era, the Cougars outscored the Utes an average of 34.9 to 20.9 per contest. Coach Edwards' career included winning streaks of nine (1979-87) and six (1972-77) games against Utah.
The annual showdown generates considerable interest throughout the state, making it a virtual certainty that whatever stadium the teams play in will be sold out well in advance. In all, seven of Utah's top ten home crowds before the expansion of Rice-Eccles Stadium were for games against BYU.
Meanwhile, 45 miles south in Provo, the grudge match has accounted for five of the 20 largest crowds in the history of LaVell Edwards Stadium.
One of the more memorable moments in the rivalry was the 1989 contest in which the Cougars pasted the Utes, 70-31, in Provo. It was a game in which the home team scored touchdowns in each of its first seven possessions and in all eight with Ty Detmer as quarterback. In a move of mercy, Detmer was replaced by backup Sean Covey late in the second quarter.
Then there were the infamous back-to-back, 34-31, losses at the hands of the Utes in 1993 and 1994, giving rebirth to a rivalry that had become ridiculously lopsided in the 80s and early 90s. In all, the Utes won three in a row (1993-95) under coach Ron McBride.
The Cougars responded to the new aggression in 1996 with a dominating, 37-17, victory in Salt Lake City. BYU employed an extremely unconventional approach, gaining 376 yards in 63 attempts on the ground and attempting only 12 passes.
In 1998, a well-placed ESPN microphone picked up an audible "clank" as the potential game-winning kick bounced off the right goal post and BYU escaped with a, 26-24 victory. BYU let the Utes back into the game after having seemingly put the game away in the fourth quarter, allowing Utah to set up a 32-yard field goal to win the game. Mysteriously, the short chip shot hooked right at the last possible moment, giving the Cougars reason to celebrate.
In 2000 LaVell Edwards worked his magic for the last time as Brandon Doman's touchdown with 23 seconds remaining finished an amazing last minute comeback to send the legendary BYU coach out a winner.
The home field advantage seems to have become less of a factor. The Utes won three straight at Edwards Stadium (1995, '97, '99) and the Cougars won three in a row in Salt Lake City (1996, 1998, 2000).
In 2001, BYU changed the trend in a miraculous, come-from-behind victory in Provo. With less than four minutes left in the game and down 11 points, BYU's hopes for a perfect season seemed dim. But Luke Staley scored two touchdowns in just over two minutes to erase the deficit and give the Cougars the 24-21 victory. The game was far from over after Staley's 30-yard touchdown. Lance Rice led Utah on a final drive in the last minute. Rice converted a key fourth-and-10 with a trick play, advancing the ball to the BYU 30-yard line. But on the very next play, Jernaro Gilford stepped in front of a Rice pass and intercepted the ball to seal the game.
In 2003 BYU held Utah to just three points on a snowy day in Provo. Only problem was, BYU was without offensive threat Reynaldo Brathwaite and its top three quarterbacks. BYU's offense sputtered and the Utes gave BYU its first shutout since 1975 (Ending an NCAA record 361 consecutive games without a shutout). Meanwhile the win also gave Utah its first outright league championship since 1957. In 2005 BYU erased a 21-point halftime deficit and forced the game into overtime only to come up just short. John Beck's fourth down pass just missed the fingertips of Michael Reed as BYU fell 41-34 in OT.
The contest in 2006 may have been one of the greatest games in the history of the rivalry. With the lead switching hands several times in the final minutes, BYU drove 75 yards in 10 plays in the last 1:19 to win the game, responding to a nine-play, 83-yard Utah drive. All-American John Beck connected with wide open tight end Jonny Harline in the end zone on the game's final play in what has been deemed "the 13-second miracle" for Cougar fans. The 33-31 victory sealed a perfect league record for BYU and their first victory over Utah since 2001. View Game Slideshow.
In 2007 both teams brought seven-game winning streaks into the matchup, causing temperatures to be at an all-time high. Reminiscent of its last-second victory against Utah in the 2006 season, No. 23 BYU defeated its archrival on the final drive to take a 17-10 win in front of a sellout crowd at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Austin Collie caught five balls for 126 yards, including a game-saving 49-yard reception on a fourth-and-18 situation during the Cougars' final drive. With the win the Cougars became the outright Mountain West Conference Champions for the second season in a row. The win also allowed Mendenhall's club to move ahead in the national polls to No. 19. Harvey Unga surpassed 1,000 yards on the season after rushing for 144 yards on 23 carries again the Utes, becoming the first freshman at BYU to reach the mark. View Game Slideshow.
Last season the two teams added another classic to the books. Utah went on a late run to send the game into overtime, but BYU came out on top after quarterback Max Hall split two Ute defenders and found senior tight end Andrew George for the game-ending touchdown, giving BYU a 26-23 win.
In 2007-08 BYU and the University of Utah formally began a rivalry series named the Deseret First Duel presented by Deseret First Credit Union. The rivalry series includes competition in the 12 sports the two universities compete head-to-head during regular-season play. The Deseret First Duel uses a system that awards points to the winner of each head-to-head competition. Points won by the individual sports will count toward each school's overall total. At the conclusion of each school year, a granite traveling trophy is awarded to the overall rivalry series champion. In the first year of the competition BYU took home the bragging rights with a 34-30 victory. In 2008-09 Utah claimed the title with a 39.5-24.5 victory while BYU again brought back the overall trophy in 2009-10 with a resounding 45.5-15.5 win.

Fragrance Wednesdays: The Joys of ScentWednesday, August 31, 2011
I've always found fragrance reviews a little hard to write. I find it hard sometimes to describe how a scent feels, what type of person would love a particular fragrance. So, while I absolutely love fragrance, I haven't been covering them as much.
Sometime over the summer, I was talking with my good friend Melissa about fragrance. She used to work at the fragrance counter and she's really great at smelling something and saying who would love that scent. She can quickly come up with words that describe the feeling of the scent. So helpful!
So, I've been quietly taking perfume samples over to her, and she's been writing a few reviews, though they haven't been featured yet. However, she's a busy lady (she's a nurse in my ICU and has 2 little ones under the age of 5) and I love fragrances as well. So, we've decided to start doing reviews in which we offer both of our perspectives on the fragrance. You'll still find the list of base, middle and top notes in each review. I'll still try to describe how the scent felt to me, how the notes changed and how the staying powder was. Melissa will offer her views on those things as well in most of the fragrance reviews, though I bet her descriptions of the feel of a fragrance will be more complete than mine since she just has more training in those areas.
Let me know if there is anything else you think we should include in our fragrance reviews!

I totally know what you mean about fragrances being hard to describe. After using the words: light, fresh, floral, musky - I pretty much run out of adjectives.ReplyDelete
So I'm looking forward to this series of posts! I'd love to see you guys include some sort of categorization of perfumes, such as evening perfumes, day perfumes, office perfumes, etc. to put the scents into a little more context for us readers :)
That's a great idea! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I'm the same way. I have absolutely no idea how to describe a scent but I'm sure you'll do fine. Can't wait to read some.ReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

Matthew Gdovin, an associate professor in the UTSA Department of Biology, has developed a newly patented method to kill cancer cells. His discovery, described in research published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology, may tremendously help people with inoperable or hard-to-reach tumors, as well as young children stricken with cancer.
Gdovin's top-tier research involves injecting a chemical compound, nitrobenzaldehyde, into the tumor and allowing it to diffuse into the tissue. He then aims a beam of light at the tissue, causing the cells to become very acidic inside and, essentially, commit suicide. Within two hours, Gdovin estimates up to 95 percent of the targeted cancer cells are dead.
"Even though there are many different types of cancers, the one thing they have in common is their susceptibility to this induced cell suicide," he said.
Gdovin tested his method against triple negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive types of cancer and one of the hardest to treat. The prognosis for triple negative breast cancer is usually very poor. After one treatment in the laboratory, he was able to stop the tumor from growing and double chances of survival in mice.

Our anonymous source, "Blessed Throat," said that "The Bishop tried to be non-directive in allowing a wide range of possibilities for mentioning mothers in the Sunday homily. But since the homily is supposed to be a pastoral reflection on the readings of the day, it is always a challenge to shoehorn mom in there. And having overheard odd comments at the last few parish brunches to honor mothers, he decided to post a list of connections that will NOT work. Call it 'The Mother's Day Anti-Talking Points brief.' I don't want to say they've been done before. Or not. Ah, I just should have said no comment."
The list of "Easter-Mother's Day Connector comments that do NOT work for the readings this 2007 Mother's Day":
- You know, friends of Christ, a wise mother would have not nicknamed her child, Judas, "Barsabbas."
- A good mother would have whipped up some yummy, wholesome vegetarian stew and avoided that whole nasty issue of eating strangled meat offered to idols.
- I'll bet a mother would have looked at that Holy City of Jerusalem, gleaming in splendor, descended from the heavens, and said "Finally! A self-cleaning home! I KNEW God was great!"
- When Christ said "Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me," he wasn't talking about the times your sainted mother called out in the yard "Dad said come get your grub before he throws it out!"
- "The Advocate, the Holy Spirit...will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you." But had you listened to your mother, you wouldn't need to be reminded, would you?
Bishop Graystone wished all people a holy Easter season and refused further comment.

Would be like a 5 star hotel stateside.
Hotel was nice, comfortable and clean. Beautiful view surrounded by many thing to do- zoo, museums, mall, etc... Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Great hits for the price, we would definitely stay again.
Couldnot have been better.
This was an amazing hotel. The staff were all super helpful and genuine. I got the smallest room and it had a great view, large for price and very comfortable. Restaurant in hotel was so so good and came with a large buffet style breakfast that was free.
Great place to stay near the waterfront. Very close to the German Emigration Center and the Maritime museum. We walked across the elevated walkway through the mall to an outdoor plaza with several restaurants. Outstanding breakfast at hotel - the best one we have had in Germany. Hotel was about 3 miles from train station - an easy cab ride.

BT provides peerless secure communications for international political event
Services of the highest order
When there's a show in town it pays to plan ahead. If that show brings together 60 world leaders, appointing communications professionals with tried and tested track records is a wise precaution.
Sarah Billson, deputy commercial director at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, faced that situation when NATO Summit Wales 2014 came to Celtic Manor. With only six weeks to bring it all together, a top-flight BT team was assembled.
People attending the Summit probably never even thought to ask what made their telecoms 100 per cent secure and fully available at all times. And that's how it should be.
BT worked extremely hard and long hours to deliver the secure core infrastructure required for the event."
– Russell Phillips, Vice President, Facilities, Celtic Manor
Fast facts
- 4,000 delegates and 1,500 reporters demanding security and resilience of the highest order
- President Obama, Chancellor Merkel, President Hollande and Prime Minister Cameron were in attendance
- Six weeks to provide a complex service mix including 350 telephone lines, 65 ISDN channels, and foolproof security
Helping shape ideas worldwide
Communications are crucial in any leadership summit. BT is able to deliver flexible collaborative technologies spanning voice and unified communications even for an event lasting just a few days.
Defending against cyber threats
The higher the target's profile, the greater the level of threat, which is why it pays to work with a provider that's got an unblemished security track record in events like the G8 Conference in Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth Games in Scotland.
Expecting responsiveness as standard
The ability to assemble a multi-disciplinary, security-vetted team and have everything up and running in weeks instead of months is one reason BT services are prized by customers such as the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

If the Colorado Rockies step outside the box -- and perhaps outside the warning track -- and hire Jason Giambi as their manager, they can lay claim to having the most decorated skipper in baseball, at least when it comes to body art. And imagine the motivational techniques Giambi, a 40-year-old pinch hitter who will interview for the job, might be able to impart on a struggling player. Giambi, who has long believed that it helps to feel sexy when he steps into the batter's box, once passed around a golden thong to his Yankees teammates who were slumping, even convincing Derek Jeter to wear it when he was in a funk. But here's where hiring Giambi would really be interesting: As baseball tries to distance itself from the steroid era -- never mind the occasional Melky Cabrera ... or Bartolo Colon ... or diminished Alex Rodriguez -- Giambi would become the first acknowledged user of performance-enhancing drugs to rise to a position of power in baseball, as either a manager or genera...

Holiday Amaryllis
Once your holiday amaryllis blooms, keep it in a room that's on the cool side to help the flowers last longer, and give the plant bright light and evenly moist soil. When the flowers fade, cut back the stalks to just above the bulb, and let the leaves keep growing. Water and fertilize throughout the next summer and, if you moved your amaryllis outdoors, bring it back in before frost. If it dies back completely, the bulb has probably gone dormant. Stop watering until new growth appears.
Christmas Cactus
Christmas cactus are succulents, not cacti. They need warm temperatures and bright light; after their holiday flowers fade, reduce the amount of water you give them. You can enjoy your potted Christmas cactus as a houseplant or move it outdoors in the spring, after all danger of frost has passed. Give it bright light, but not direct sun, and in some parts of the country, as the daylight hours naturally lengthen and then shorten again, new buds will form. Some gardeners may need to put their Christmas cacti into a completely dark location for 12 hours a day, for several weeks, in temperatures from about 50 to 55 degrees F., to stimulate new buds.
If they're kept in a cool spot (but out of drafts), poinsettias can last long past the holidays. Give your plant bright, indirect light and water when the soil starts to feel dry. As with most houseplants, avoid overwatering, and drain the saucer, so the plants' roots won't rot. Use a balanced fertilizer every couple of weeks to feed the poinsettia as long as it's actively growing. Getting the plant to rebloom next year is difficult; most people compost their poinsettias and buy new ones each season. You can also keep them to enjoy as green houseplants after all the red "leaves" drop.
After the holidays, cyclamens need a location with bright, indirect light and cool temperatures. They prefer high humidity, so try grouping them with other plants, or place them in a saucer filled with pebbles and a little water. (Just don't let the roots touch the water, which can cause rotting.) When the flowers finish, the plants will go dormant. Stop watering then and wait until new leaves emerge in fall before you water again. This cyclamen is 'Dixie Pink'.
Norfolk Island Pine
Evergreen Norfolk Island pines aren't just fun houseplants; they also make great Christmas trees. Their after-holiday care is no different from their daily care. Give these tropicals high humidity and protect them from drafts. They prefer bright light, such as from a south-facing window, and should be watered when the top of the soil starts to feel dry. Don't keep them too wet or let them dry out completely. Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer in spring and summer, following label directions.
Ornamental Peppers
Ornamental peppers are popular holiday plants with colorful, decorative fruits. Give your plant a cool spot that gets lots of bright light, and water as needed to keep the soil from drying out. Some ornamental peppers have been treated with chemicals, and others just aren't good for eating, so enjoy the fruits only as ornamentals. Don't consume them or let children or pets come in contact with them. Annual ornamental peppers can stay in their pots or be transplanted into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. They'll grow until the first hard frost. This variety is 'NuMex Easter'.
Paperwhites, or narcissus, are often forced (that is, made to flower outside their normal flowering period) for the holidays. After forcing, they seldom rebloom. You can try planting the bulbs in your garden after all danger of frost has passed, but it's easier to toss them into the compost pile and start with fresh, new bulbs next year. When grown in the garden, paperwhites need sun and well-drained soil.
Holiday cinerarias are happy with cool home temperatures--in fact, they need a location that stays between 40 and 55 degrees F. Warm temperatures cause them to decline fast. You'll find these daisy-like flowers in shades of red, pink, blue, violet and white, and they'll last for weeks if you keep the soil moist, not wet. Don't let the plants dry out, because you may not be able to revive them. When the blooms finish, toss your cinerarias into the compost.
Whether grown in its natural shape or prunted into a Christmas tree-like pyramid, aromatic rosemary makes a delightful holiday plant. While it's indoors, give your rosemary a sunny window and regular waterings. You can transplant rosemary into the garden, but before you do, give it a week or so in a sheltered spot to help it transition from your home to natural sunlight, wind and temperatures. Rosemary grown in the garden takes full sun.
Greenhouse-grown hydrangeas often hold their blooms for weeks indoors. Don't let your potted hydrangea completely dry out, and keep it in a cool, bright room, out of direct sun. After the last frost in spring, move your hydrangea outdoors to a shady spot for a week or two. Then gradually give it some morning sun, to help ease its transition. Finally, plant it in a location that gets morning sun (unless you have a variety that's labeled with different sun or shade requirements). Hydrangeas should be kept watered and mulched as the weather warms up. They may take a year or two to start blooming again at the normal time. Gardeners in cold winter regions sometimes lose their flower buds to late cold snaps.
Colorado Blue Spruce
Living Christmas trees can be planted outdoors after the holidays. For best results, keep the tree inside for the shortest time possible. If you live where the ground freezes, go ahead and dig a hole for it in your garden or landscape, and cover the hole with boards for safety, until you're ready to plant. First move the tree into a sheltered location a week or so, to help ease the transition from your home. Then, after you plant it, keep it well mulched and watered, especially for the first year or two. This variety is 'Fat Albert', a Colorado blue spruce.
Calla Lily
Available in orange, pink, bicolors, salmon, purple or yellow, calla lilies are easy to grow houseplants. White callas are lovely in Christmas-red containers, and stay in bloom a long time. They're tropicals, so wait until all frost has passed if you want to transplant them into your garden. They'll thrive in a sunny spot in slightly moist, organic-rich soil, but will require repotting and bringing indoors before the first fall frost. If you prefer, you can let the bulbs go dormant and store them in a cool, dry, dark place until you're ready to replant next spring.
Blooms on moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) can last for many weeks. When they finally drop, you can cut the stems back to just above the bottom two nodes, or let them remain. As long as the stems are green, there's a chance you'll get more flowers after a couple of months. Once your moth orchid stops blooming, cut back on watering to give it a rest period, and don't fertilize until new leaves appear. You'll also want to reduce watering and hold off on fertilizing until new growth appears on Cattleya and Oncidium orchids.

Sorry, Miss Rowlanda, I read this too late. Now I get to be no. 3 for all of 10 minutes or so.
I would say that in the five puzzles I had the editors were a bit too cute and a bit too
obvious in their attempts to screw me up. And it worked.

another fine puzzle. I'm not sure whether it was pure coincidence or if I saw the words sub-consciously but I'm in the middle of composing a Tom Swift puzzle. At least none of the five answers I saw coincided with my questions!!

I had one puzzle with a wildly misleading clue, and another with an insidious trap which caused me about 5 or 6 moves. If the constructor's aim was to trick the solver, then he or she certainly succeeded. I'd almost rather have no clue than one that sends me in a totally wrong direction.

When I first learned Tom Swifties, the ones I saw were always "he said" or "she said". so when on my first puzzle I guessed T and saw that it was not "Tom" saying it, that was hardly a problem for me, even given the Tomacity of prior TSWPs. It was pretty clear that it was "she" talking. Thus my horror a couple puzzles later when S_E became Sue and cost me 3+ moves and a few places in the standings. Sigh.

I got Sue on the first puzzle in. After 5 letters I confidently submitted with she, to my surprise I was wrong. I checked & rechecked my spelling & thought there was a spelling error in the puzzle. After 18 letters I finally got Sue Very sneaky

I had a version of Old Cougar's problem. I knew Tom and Sue were the normal names used in Swifties so I entered "Sue" TWICE on my first puzzle before realizing it was wrong. So I tried "she" in puzzle three -- two was a blessedly uncomplicated "he" -- and cursed complexly at the result, heartily planning a ritual sacrifice of the author. I agree: No fair changing the established rules without a hint.

In a puzzle about Tom I had a 'she' and 2 'Mary's. Who knew! It seems to me there should have been some warning that these were not the traditional Tom/he said puzzles.

Yeah, I got a Mary one right off the bat and went, "huh." Ended up with like 20 moves on the first one and said NO FUN and went and did something else.
