Publisher's Description▼▲
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today. The NIV Application Commentary series helps with both halves of Bible study. It builds a bridge from the past to the world we live in -- explaining not only what the Bible meant, but also how it can speak powerfully today.

The NIV Application Commentary Series doesn't fool around: it gets right down to business, brining this ancient and powerful word of God into the present so that it can be heard and believed with all the freshness of a new day, with all the immediacy of a friend's embrace.
Eugene Peterson,
Regent College
The NIV Application Commentary Series helps pastors and Bible teachers with one the most neglected elements in good preaching--accurate, useful application. Most commentaries tell you a few things that are helpful and much that you do not need to know. By dealing with the original meaning and contemporary significance of each passage, the NIV Application Commentary Series promises to be helpful all the way around.
James Montgomery Boice
Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA
This series promises to become an indispensable tool for every pastor and teacher who seeks to make the Bible's timeless message speak to this generation.
Billy Graham
Here, at last, is a commentary that makes the proper circuit from the biblical world to main street. The NIV Application Commentary is magnificent gift to the church.
Kent Hughes,
College Church, Wheaton, IL
Here at last is a commentary which is not only academically well informed but which helps the contemporary reader hear God's word and consider its implications; scholarship in the service of the church.
Arthur Rowe,
Spurgeon's College
If you want to avoid hanging applicational elephants from interpretive threads, then the NIV Application Commentary Series is for you. This series excels at both original meaning and contemporary significance. I support it one hundred percent.
Howard J. Hendricks,
Dallas Theological Seminary
This is the pulpit for the 21st Century
George K. Brushaber,
President, Bethel College & Seminary
It takes more than interpretation of God's word to change lives, it takes application. Application is the bottom line in teaching and preaching. Without it, we've missed the point of the Bible. The NIV Application Commentary is an outstanding resource for pastors and anyone else who is serious about developing "doers of the word".
Rick Warren,
Saddleback Church
The NIV Application Commentary Series shares the same goal that has been the passion of my own ministry--communicating God's word to a contemporary audience so that they feel the full impact of its message.
Bill Hybels,
Willow Creek Community Church
This series dares to go where few scholars have gone before--into the real life world of biblical application faced by pastors and teachers everyday. This is everything a good commentary series should be.
Leith Anderson
Pastor, Wooddale Church
Some commentaries build walls that isolate you back in the ancient world. The NIV Application Commentary builds bridges that make the Bible come alive with meaning for contemporary life--and the series do so concisely, clearly, and accurately. No wasted words or academic detours--just solid help and practical truth.

The unique quality of explaining the Biblical text within the arena of the culture of when it was written then bridging that culture to our own contempoary setting makes this commentary extremely valuable in presenting important applications to a Christians daily life.

The NIV Application Commentary series format of Original Meaning, Bridging Contexts, and Contemporary Significance is very helpful in presenting not only the truth of Scripture, but the context for the original reader and the application for today's generation. The Contemporary Significance sections sometime seems a little long and labored, but I guess it depends on how you want to use the study. Guthrie's credentials in writing on the daunting letter of Hebrews are excellent, and he has a pleasant and enlightening style of writing.
Andrew Kikkert5 Stars Out Of 5September 28, 2010Andrew KikkertThis commentary has been the most helpful commentary I have found in assisting me in preparing sermons with direct application for my church. An outstanding resource.
Buddy Boone5 Stars Out Of 5October 17, 2001Buddy BooneThe NIVAC series varies more than most because of the diversity of the contributors and the awful format. However, there are several volumes that are outstanding in spite of the format and George Guthrie's work is clearly one of the best in the series. Dr. Guthrie has provided us with much help in understanding the structure of Hebrews which has a profound influence on how we understand the sermon/letter. There is very little Greek help in the work, but it is very enlightening when used along with a good technical commentary on the Greek text (e.g., Lane-WBC and Ellingworth-NIGTC). Guthrie has done a great job in making the best of a goofy format. Whoever came up with the idea for the NIVAC series should know that a good commentary does what this series was intended to do, but without butchering the exegesis. Having said that, I want to be clear that many of the volumes in this series are worth having due simply to the outstanding scholarship of the contributors.
Tim5 Stars Out Of 5April 1, 2001TimTremendously helpful for understanding the complex text of Hebrews. Accurate and careful without being overwhelmingly deep. It's worth the price of the book just to get Guthrie's outline of Hebrews. Application sections are OK but not great.

Lions Club, 4-H Club team up for fundraiser
MONTCALM TOWNSHIP — Both the Greenville Lions Club and the 4-H program are founded on education and life experiences for local youths.
During last month's Montcalm County 4-H Fair, the two organizations teamed up.
For years, 4-H has manned a food vendor booth at the fair, raising money for educational experiences for 4-H students, but because the advisers as well as students are often too busy during the fair, operating the booth became a bit overwhelming.
"We're really busy during fair and (operating the booth) really puts us out during fair," said Melanie Rodenhouse, vice president of the 4-H Council.
The Lions Club has also had a vendor booth at the fair, selling typical fair food, hot dogs, brats, hamburgers, etc., but they had not always done as well as they hoped.
This year, the two groups joined together to operate a booth, with 4-H supplying the building, booth and name recognition and the Lions Club members offering the man hours to shop, cook and serve the food.
The joint booth was a major success for both groups, raising about $9,000 total. The two organizations split the revenues evenly, each taking home around $4,500.
"That's more than we've ever made at the fair," said Bo Stevens, vice president of the Greenville Lions Club. "Boy, were we hoppin'."
The decision turned out beneficial to 4-H as well.
"It's definitely the most we've done at the new fairgrounds," Rodenhouse said. "We were extremely happy."
While the groups were able to raise more money, it is money that will go back into the community.
The Lions Club will use their newly generated funds to conduct community services, volunteer projects and opportunities for children.
"They are all about the children and doing things for the children," said Rodenhouse of the Lions Club members.
Stevens said it is because of that (and admittedly lower prices) crowds at the fair flock to their booth for the food.
"They know the money is going to the community," he said.
The 4-H Council will use its share of the profits to provide 4-H students with educational experiences such as classes, exploration days and trips to educational centers.
The two groups enjoyed the experience so much, they are already beginning plans to join forces again next year.
"We hope to have them back next year," Rodenhouse said.
And Stevens said the Lions Club is hoping for another year as well.
"We had a very busy week at fair with both of us there," he said. "It sounds like we're doing it next year as well."

AUDIO: With the A Train Gone, Traveling to the Rockaways Becomes Much Harder
(New York, WNYC) Before Sandy, every A train trip between the Rockaway peninsula and the rest of New York City began and ended with a crossing of Jamaica Bay. The train moved along a piece of land so thin that, from inside the train, it appears to skim atop the water. But for months, that 3.6 mile railroad bridge has been out, doubling commutes for Rockaways residents and further adding to the sense of deprivation brought on by Sandy.
On October 29, Sandy's storm surge overwhelmed that thread of connection. When the waters receded, the A train's foundation was gone, removing a major transit link from the peninsula's 130,000 residents.
One of those residents is senior producer of The Takeaway, Jen Poyant. She moved to the Rockaways a few years ago for a relatively affordable beach home -- far from Manhattan, but still, a direct shot on the A train. Water filled Poyant's basement, and came within a foot of flooding her first floor. For a month, she and her family couldn't return home. When she finally got back, she was overjoyed, but the daily trip to work can feel overwhelming -- like a little bit of work squeezed between commutes.
The direct train ride has become an odyssey from a slow-moving crowded bus to the train miles into the mainland. Sometimes, fellow commuters told Poyant, it takes all night to get home from Manhattan.
The MTA says its aware of the frustrating commute, but can't promise relief until summer.
MTA executive director Tom Prendergast described the result to New York's City Council: "An entire bridge and critical subway line serving the Rockaways was destroyed."
With the A train out, the MTA put subway cars on a truck, drove them to the peninsula and lifted them by crane onto tracks that serve six stops at the end of the line. The H train now runs for free from mid-peninsula at Beach 90th Street to the eastern end of the Rockaways. Bus service has also been increased.
But these are temporary measures. The list of needed repairs to the A train is extensive, and the going is slow. "We had to build out the shoulders on the east and west sides of the track, where you saw the washouts occur," Prendergast said. "We've had to replace damaged and missing third rail protection boards and insulators. We've had to replace signal power and communications equipment, which is ongoing." And damage to the Broad Channel subway station has not yet been fully repaired.
The MTA has patched and reinforced the land bridge where Sandy took large bites from it. But crews are still laboriously laying track and rebuilding the signal system from scratch — both on the railbed crossing Jamaica Bay and on the west end of the peninsula.
In the meantime, the MTA says it'll keep increasing service on the Q53 line, using old buses that have been held back from retirement. Those buses are jammed with riders every weekday rush hour as they make their way over the Cross Bay Bridge. More buses are coming in April.
The A train is expected back no earlier than late June.

Big Ten Tournament (Evanston, Ill.)
Friday, April 27 -- vs. Michigan State or Purdue, 1:30 p.m. CDT
Saturday, April 28 -- Semifinals, 1:30 p.m. CDT
Sunday, April 29 -- Championship Match, Noon CDT
Live Results/Tournament Central | Bracket
The No. 22-ranked University of Michigan men's tennis team (16-6) will kick off postseason play this weekend, traveling to Evanston, Ill., to participate in the 2012 Big Ten Conference Tournament, hosted by Northwestern University this Thursday through Sunday (April 27-29) at the Vandy Christie Tennis Center. The Wolverines, who finished runner-up in the Big Ten regular-season standings, earned the No. 2 seed and will receive a first-round buy before facing the winner of No. 7 seed Michigan State and No. 10 seed Purdue at 1:30 p.m. CDT on Friday (April 27).
Dual Match Format -- This weekend's dual matches will be contests for the best-of-seven team points. The dual will begin with three doubles matches consisting of eight-game pro sets. The team that wins two of these three matches will enter the singles competition with one of seven points. For postseason competition, once the doubles point has been clinched, the remaining doubles matches will not be completed. After a brief intermission, six singles matches will be played. Each singles match will be the best-of-three tie-break sets and worth one point towards the team competition. The overall dual match will be decided when one team secures four total points. All other matches in progress when the match point is clinched will be abandoned.
Where We Rank -- After seeing its seven-match win streak halted in the regular-season finale at OSU, Michigan dropped a position, falling to the No. 22 spot, in the latest ITA national rankings released Tuesday (April 24). All-American Evan King climbed to the No. 7 singles listing, while U-M's top doubles tandem of King and sophomore Shaun Bernstein checks in at the No. 29 position. [ ITA Rankings ]
Last Time Out -- The Wolverines split their final two dual matches of the Big Ten regular season, cruising past Penn State (6-1, April 20) before falling to No. 3-ranked Ohio State (6-1, April 22). Michigan claimed a marathon doubles point at the Nittany Lions, winning in the tiebreaker on the No. 2 and No. 3 courts, before taking five-of-six singles matches, including four in straight sets. The Buckeyes halted U-M's seven-match win streak in the regular-season finale, sweeping the doubles competition and winning five singles matches. Junior Evan King picked up the Wolverines' lone win, cruising past No. 6-ranked Blaz Rola, 6-3, 6-3. [ Recaps: Penn State | Ohio State ]
Big in the Big Ten -- With its 9-2 record in Big Ten play, Michigan registered its most conference wins since also tallying nine in 1999. The Wolverines' runner-up performance is the program's best Big Ten finish since placing second in 2007. U-M has finished among the Big Ten's top four teams in each of the last eight seasons.
Complete Statistics: Through April 22
No Longer Streaking -- Michigan saw its seven-match win streak halted by No. 3-ranked Ohio State in the regular-season finale. The streak was the program's longest since winning 10 straight in 2007. The Wolverines have won 12 of their last 14 matches. They wrapped up the home portion of their 2012 schedule with a 9-2 record at the Varsity Tennis Center.
King of the Court -- Junior Evan King, the nation's No. 7-ranked singles player, owns a solid 13-6 record against ranked opposition this season, most recently cruising past Ohio State's No. 6 Blaz Rola, 6-3, 6-1.
King is now 2-4 in collegiate meetings against Rola and has won the last two meetings, adding to a 7-5, 7-5 decision against the Buckeye last fall in the second round of the USTA/ITA National Indoor Championships, held Nov. 3-6. King had not faced a ranked opponent for six weeks before knocking off Illinois' No. 4-ranked Dennis Nevolo, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-3 , to clinch U-M's win at Illinois in the final match earlier this month on April 6. Among King's six total losses this season, five came against top-15 players, including two against Duke's Henrique Cunha and two against Washington's Kyle McMorrow.
We're Going Streaking -- Junior Evan King picked up a pair of weekend singles victories to extend his win streak to 15 matches. King has won 19 of his last 20 matches and boasts a team-best 20-2 dual record. The Wolverine junior is no stranger to long winning streaks. Last season, he boasted a 14-match run early in the dual season.
Climbing the Charts -- With his win against Ohio State's Blaz Rola last Sunday (April 22), junior Evan King improved to 32-6 on the season and claimed sole possession of the eighth position among Michigan's all-time single-season wins leaders. He needs two more to reach the seventh spot, currently held by Dan Goldberg (34, 1988). With his 83-28 career record, King is also nearing Michigan's top 10 all-time leaders in the category. He needs just four more wins to reach the 10th spot, currently held by Jon Morris (87, 1985-88).
A Singles Surge -- Half of Michigan's four returning players in the singles lineup have already matched or surpassed their season win total from a season ago. Junior Evan King leads the Wolverine team with 32 wins, a two-win improvement over his previous best (30), while sophomore Alex Buzzi, with 16 singles wins, has nearly doubled his previous career total (9). Sophomore Barrett Franks is just one win shy of reaching his 2011 win tally (17).
Freshman Phenom -- Freshman Alex Petrone has also been of a tear of late, winning six of his last eight singles matches and 10 of his last 13, including four at the No. 2 position. Petrone is 21-11 on the season and 14-7 in dual-match action. He has also teamed with fellow freshman Michael Zhu to go 14-7 from the No. 3 doubles position; the duo has claimed four of its last five doubles matches.
A Point of Emphasis -- The Wolverines claimed the doubles point in seven of their last eight dual matches and have been solid in doubles throughout the dual season, claiming the initial point in 15 of 21 dual matches and combining for a solid 37-24 combined doubles record. In the six contests in which it dropped the doubles point, U-M has rallied from the initial deficit to earn the dual victory on three occasions, including against Wisconsin in Big Ten play. Michigan won just six doubles points through 24 duals last season.
Buzzi's Breakthrough Year -- Sophomore Alex Buzzi boasts a four-match singles winning streak, collecting a 6-3, 6-1 decision over Penn State's C.J. Griffin in his latest appearance. He posted a perfect 4-0 record the previous weekend, claiming two wins from the No. 5 singles position and a pair of decisions from the No. 2 doubles spot, and has clinched three of the Wolverines' last seven wins, most recently sealing U-M's 4-3 win against Nebraska with his 7-6 (4), 6-3 win against Stefan Gollner after helping to clinch the critical doubles point with a huge 9-8 (9) comeback win. Buzzi, who did not appear in U-M's dual-match singles lineup last year, owns a career-best 16 wins on the season.
We Thank You for Your Attendance -- Michigan fans rank among the best in college tennis. Despite hosting only two home matches in March, the Wolverines remained among the nation's attendance leaders, listing fifth nationally in total attendance (2,955), third in average attendance (422) and boast the fourth-highest-attended match in the nation (684, March 17 vs. Michigan State).
Last Non-Conference Match...Until Postseason -- With its road win at Wake Forest on March 10, Michigan wrapped up its non-conference schedule for the 2012 season. The Wolverines went 7-4 over their non-conference slate and will conclude the regular season with 11 consecutive Big Ten matches before kicking off postseason play at the Big Ten Championships, April 26-29. Michigan had a 7-7 non-conference record in 2011.
Leader of the Wolverines -- Head coach Bruce Berque is in his eighth year at the helm of the Wolverine program, compiling a 124-79 overall record and 51-20 Big Ten mark over his tenure. Berque has led the Wolverines to six consecutive NCAA Championships berths, including the 2008 Sweet 16, and has finished among the top four of the Big Ten in six of seven seasons. Mark Merklein is in his first season as Michigan's assistant coach after joining the staff this past summer. A former ATP tour professional (1994-2005) and NCAA singles (1994) and doubles (1993) champion while at Florida, Merklein spent the previous six years as a national coach with the USTA Player Development Center in Boca Raton, Fla.

The Elementary Education degree program is offered for full time undergraduate students on our Honolulu campus. As part of the campus program, students work closely with outstanding faculty, are a part of our collegiate community and utilize the many resources available to students on campus.
Upon completion of the Elementary Education degree program, graduates are certified for teaching Kindergarten through 6th grade. Chaminade follows certification guidelines set by the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board.
Chaminade graduates are qualified to teach in most states upon completion of the program. All Chaminade University education licensure programs are approved by the Hawai'i Teachers Standards Board.
Class sizes are small and student to faculty ratio is about 12 to 1. Students receive individualized attention from faculty and a quality educational experience. Additionally, our students create a peer-to-peer network and learning community through various clubs and activities such as the Education Club and service-learning. As our students progress through the degree program they have opportunities to work closely with children of diverse backgrounds, ages and abilities through service-learning activities and time devoted to observation and participation (O & P). During O & P our students visit elementary schools, observe classroom management techniques and work one-on-one with students or with the full class. Later, student teaching provides an immersion in the classroom and the challenge of teaching for an entire semester.
The concept of service-learning throughout the university is for our students to use what they have learned in the classroom to help others (and also get class credit). In the case of the elementary education program, service-learning is an opportunity for Chaminade students to assist struggling students in nearby elementary schools, especially at Palolo Elementary School which has a high population of students from immigrant families.

This quick dinner idea is to die for! And before you go "Oh my gosh, potatoes are starch, carbs and make me fat!" I have BIG news for you: potatoes are good for you, especially with skin on. They are full of fiber and complex carbs, combined with lean protein like turkey and stalky/filling greens like broccolini, and you got yourself a bikini body meal! Yes, that's right – 216 calories, 4 g of fat, 19 g of carbs and 22 g of protein.
I totally understand my healthy potatoes and "boring" greens can't compete with all that cheese and simple carbs craziness happening on foodgawker, but I could care less. I'm in for a long haul of healthy and happy life. Haha, I hope you are with me. Then I have an easy stovetop dinner for you, that you can quickly throw together after work. And kids will love it too, unless they don't like broccoli. There I can't help you.:)
Maybe your kids will like broccolini. Mine love both! If you are not familiar with this skinny green vegetable, let me tell you it's not baby broccoli. Broccolini is a cross between Chinese broccoli and regular broccoli, resulting in less bitter than broccoli with a sweetness similar to asparagus' vegetable. When cooked, broccolini has a chewy texture and is super filling without extra calories. You can often find organic broccolini at a reasonable price. I buy mine at Costco for $7 a bag, that lasts a while. If you can't find broccolini, feel free to replace it with broccoli.
Using quick searing method results in crispy and tender veggies. The key is to have garlic, onion, broccolini and seasonings ready to go. Lately, I love using tamari or low sodium soy sauce as a seasoning for poultry and Tofu "Scrambled Eggs". Feel free to substitute with extra salt.
This was one of the fastest and tastiest dinners I have on the blog. Frankly, sweet ground turkey makes anything tasty. Just pair it with some complex carbs, right veggies (not carrots) and proper amount of seasoning, and you got a quick dinner-winner. A must for us, busy moms.
Speaking of moms, Mother's Day is just around the corner. I teamed up with my some of my blogger friends to share an advice on a work from home mom and life balance. In other words, how to survive a total craziness. Yes, I think being a mom of 2 little kids is insane and crazy. I got no help besides Alex though. Moms with helping grandparents, aunts and uncles might have a different opinion.:)
If I could give you only one tip on how to stay sane, I would say Ignore the Mess! It might be nothing new to you but its' something I discovered for myself recently, as I was used to living in a show home and driving a car with polished steering wheel. Those days are long gone, for now. It's a temporary thing, I want to believe.
I'm not saying stop cleaning but rather pick your battles. I call it a survival mode. My goal is to build a career, make money for a comfortable living (not that Alex doesn't do that), feed the kids nutritious meals, educate them, raise good citizens AND not to forget about myself amidst this insanity. I honestly feel life with 2 kids is insane. No idea how is life with 3 kids and don't want to know.:)
So, I chose to ignore, to a certain extent, sticky fingerprints on the walls, crumbs all over the floor, dirty tablecloth and you don't want to know what's in my car. I mean I clean of course (I used to be a clean freak) but not as much. On weekends we go out and have fun while floors are messy and laundry isn't done! Why? Because I can't keep up and my kids are little only once and Alex works weekdays, so I want to have fun with my family.
I also want to point out a BIG advantage of a food blogger – working from home. Many things can be done while you work. For example, loading the dishwasher and laundry. I honestly think if I were to work from the office 9 – 5, my house would have been way dirtier and kids wouldn't do any sports. Plus they have me here, with them, raising them. How cool is that?!
I honestly don't think life of a mom blogger is hard. It ain't easy but not the hardest. I've done and seen much harder work and am blessed to be doing what I love! I'm not in Ukraine, I'm not a Malaysian airplane mystery relative, I'm alive and I'm here! Life is full of challenges, it's about how we deal with them. Some days are better, some day are worse. Overall, we got a good life in North America. We got an online dating service for dogs, for goodness sake. So, really…Trust me, I lived in Ukraine for 19 years.
So yes, Ignore the Mess and Happy Mother's Day!
Here are a few recipe ideas for Mother's Day and I'm sure some sound advice on a mom's work/life balance:

Remember, you can bracket race anything! Take that Caterra out to a local track and see what it will do! I've seen a guy put an old Ford Fiesta on the track -- the announcer said he thought he broke a track record at 22 seconds for a 1/4 mile, but he did it!! 16s are quicker than you think! If nothing else you'll have something to go by. The Caterra will be costly to modify much for speed, about the only things you can reasonably do is add a cold air intake and a cat-back exhaust system without upsetting the computer, but those two will help a bit.
I'm an AMC man, but for costs and performance cheap I'd go with a 79-80s Mustang. Lighter and less cramped under the hood than the same year F cars. Second choice would be the G-body. No heavier than a 3rd gen F-body GM, more room under the hood and easier to work on. The earlier Malibu is basically the same body, but a different letter designation... I forget it now! Ask me an AMC question....
If you run across a Gremlin, Spirit, or Hornet with a straight six, and especially if it has a stick shift, you can't get much more bang for the buck and cheap to fix and drive! They weren't very popular as used cars, and were generally cheap for the 2nd/3rd/4th/etc. owners, so were beat to death with little or no maintenance -- used as "throw-away" cars after they were 6-10 years old and more. That's why people seem to remember them as POS cars -- they'd already been beat to death by the time they got them! From the factory they were generally a cut above Pintos and Vegas, at the worst they were no worse than the US competition.

Remember those rumors about Sean Kilpatrick leaving
UC early for the NBA? Well, the All-Big
East guard says that he'll not only be back for his junior and senior seasons - he wishes he could stay even longer.
"As many years as I can stay," Sean told me. "I've never said that I was going to the draft - it isn't even in my mind. The college life that we're living now is something that is more important than the draft for me. The NBA is going to be there, but I still have a lot of learning to do. I still have to learn how to read defenses and on top of that, just to better myself.
"Another huge point is that I love Coach Cronin and I don't want to leave him. I want to stay here as long as I can. That's why I put it out there on Twitter to let everybody know that I'm not going anywhere."
Except to the gym.
After leading the Bearcats in scoring as a sophomore at 14.3 points a game, Kilpatrick is dedicating his off-season to improving his ball-handling ability.
"A lot of dribbling drills," said Kilpatrick. "Coach told me that I need to work on my left hand a lot more and be able to handle the pressure when someone is guarding me. He said, 'Don't concentrate on your jump shot so much - just worry about your handle.' That was one of my biggest weaknesses. This year it will be a lot different and I'll be able to get to the rim with my left hand."
During this part of the school year, the players are limited to two hours a week of on-court workouts with the coaching staff, but Sean puts in extra time on his own.
"I'm in here every day in order to get better," Kilpatrick told me. "I make it my business to be in here most of the time because this is the actual season for me. This is where everything starts.
"I come late at night. I have (graduate assistant) Scott Ratterman come open the gym up around 9 - 9:30. He just tells me to hit the lights when I'm done."
Kilpatrick's dedication is not going unrecognized. The Sporting News recently ranked Sean as the nation's sixth-best shooting guard (including number one in the Big East).
"It's an honor, but it made me a little bit hungrier," said Kilpatrick. "I know that I can keep pushing myself to where I can be better than sixth. I'm never satisfied with being below number one. It made me more focused on what I need to do."
And if he needs an additional push, Sean knows that he'll get it from Coach Cronin.
"He knows how to get me going," said Kilpatrick. "We both love winning and love the game so much. If we lose, just know that something is going to get thrown, or somebody is going to curse. I love him. Since I was in prep school, he's never changed with me or with any of the guys. The loyalty and respect that I have for him is amazing."
I asked Sean if there's anything about Coach Cronin that Bearcat fans don't know.
"Everyone thinks that he's mean," Sean said with a laugh. "That's because everyone sees Coach Cronin on the court and they don't know how he is off the court. He's the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He's polite, he knows exactly what he's talking about every time, you can go to him for advice, and you can actually talk to him about anything. He's like a father figure to us when our dads aren't around. That's what I love about him the most."
It sure sounds like Kilpatrick plans to stick around.
I'd love to hear from you at email@example.com

Now I'm a complete novice and I'm probably kidding myself if I think i am gonna attempt to restore this but any advice is welcome.
I would mostly likely get someone to do the touch up for me as I barely have enough time to fart sleep and work these days (travel a lot)
Any opinons, advice, prices would be great. These are the worst, the car is in prety good bodywork nick all over apart from the front of bonnet and front bumper :(
I'm seriously thinking of getting a crabon fibre bonnet lid, and a new fibre glass (M5?) front bumper - I blame Rym for biting me with the modifying bug

Guild Wars 2 post-launch rant: Crazy people hating on GW2?
Guild Wars 2 is not 100% what I had expected, but is an amazing game nonetheless. The visuals, the gameplay, the story... It's all a dream come true. It's actually good enough that, for me, it's incentive to do better outside of the game. I've never felt so integral to the game world, while at the same time feeling like setting it aside to be a responsible adult in real life isn't going to hugely detract from my enjoyment of the game. There's a few things that I think should be changed, and I'm already finding little ideas here and there that might improve the game, should the dev's get the same idea. But it's jsut the initial launch; there's more than enough room for improvement, and there's not much they need to do to improve on it. Now, I'm not going to get too deep into why this game is so innovative and different; you can check out vee41's awesome blog posts on that if you aren't already familliar with it. The game is amazing and innovative and changes the way MMO games are played, just as they said they set out to do.
Unfortunately, there have been a few minor issues. What I don't get is all these people I'm finding that are spewing hate and doom simly because of a few expected launch-day bugs, even though there have been LESS bugs than most MMO launches have. There's no such thing as a perfect, 100% bug-free MMO game launch. It just doesnt exist. So why are so many people wailing and gnashing their teeth because the launch wasn't 100% bug-free? Seriously, we should be used to this by now. The fact the bugs have been so few is a triumph in and of itself for ArenaNet. But for some people, it's just not good enough. And that baffles my mind. I understand trolling, to some extent, and when someone is behaving like a turd, I have no quams with trolling them. But some people are just claiming reasons that the game will die a horrible death which either have nothing to do with the game or are not at all aspects of the game.
One guy said in a forum thread he started here on MMORPG.com, titled "Why Guild Wars 2 Will Be a Bust," that he disliekd GW2 because the questing was too much like WoW and that it wasn't as freeform adventuring as the original EverQuest was.
Seriously. He said that. Along with other things that, when considering he was supposed to be referring to GW2, made absolutely no sense and were not at all descriptions of the game. Anyone who's even played once and has half a brain in their skull can see his claims about what's there to dislike are totally bogus. Here's a LINK to the quoted reply I made that has his original post, along with my picking it apart peice by peice.
Is it just me, or is the human population getting dumber and crazier every year? And how is it that so many of these stupid, crazy people flock to MMO games? I don't give a crap if someone dislikes a game. Not every game is for every person. But if you're gonna dislike it, there's no point to making crap up about the game that is not real then saying that those imaginary things are the reason you dislike it. And it's especially idiotic to then go and publically declare on the fan forums of the game you're hating on that these imaginary reasons you made up are why the game is going to fail. All you're doing is making yourself look like an idiot. You want to boast about the legitimate reasons you dislike it? Fine, go ahead; you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm sure there are people who will agree with you. That's not going to change whether the game is successful or not.
The fact is that Guild Wars 2's launch has been a success, like it or not. The game is not absolutely perfect, but it's amazing and changing how I even look at MMO games. Heck, I'm re-thinking whether or not to take game development courses at university, it's changed my perspective on what can be done in games so drastically. The fact that there are bugs and things that I might not like as much just means that this new gameplay model has room for experimentation and tweaking, and that's always a good thing.

Early Life
William Stryker was a sergeant in the army and may have been involved in the Weapon X Program, which resulted in Logan being given his Adamantium skeleton. While Sgt. Stryker was stationed on a nuclear testing facility, his wife, Marcy Stryker, had become pregnant. After his tour, Sgt. Stryker and his wife decided to visit her parents, in Phoenix, Arizona, but a car crash left them in the Nevada Desert. Marcy went into labor and Sgt. Stryker was forced to deliver the baby himself. At birth, the child was physically mutated and Sgt. Stryker, believing it was a monster, stabbed the newborn. When his wife woke from unconsciousness and asked if the baby was okay, Sgt. Stryker hugged her and snapped her neck. Horrified at his actions, Sgt. Stryker noticed that the car was leaking gasoline and placed his family back in the car, sat in the driver's seat, and lit a match. The car exploded, but Sgt. Stryker was thrown from the car and spared from death. After the funeral, Sgt. Stryker turned to the bottle and was ultimately honorably discharged, after his drinking caused him to lash out at his trainees.
After hitting rock bottom, months after the accident, Stryker was reading a news article, written by Professor Charles Xavier and realized that his child was a mutant. Styker became convinced that Satan had a plot to corrupt humankind, by taking over their souls while still in the womb, resulting in their mutations. Stryker further concluded that the only reason God would have allowed his son to be a mutant was to direct him to his true calling: ridding the world of mutants. That day, Stryker came to the realization that he was saved from the explosion to do God's work, in destroying all the monsters that Satan created: the mutants.[1]
God Loves, Man Kills
Driven by this new-found conviction, Stryker then became a popular but controversial preacher and televangelist. While his followers, including a secret paramilitary group called the Purifiers, committed hate crimes against mutants, Stryker arranged a spy to gather information about the X-Men from FBI agent, Fred Duncan. After having a televised debate with Professor X, Reverend Stryker ordered his Purifiers to kidnap Xavier, Scott Summers, and Ororo Munroe and fake their deaths. Reverend Stryker and Phillip Ramsey placed the mutants in tanks and had them hooked to machines that tortured Scott and Ororo and transferred their pain to Professor X. Professor X was hooked to a machine that attempted to turn him against mutants, with illusions of the X-Men killing him and Reverend Stryker saving him. After Professor X was brainwashed, he fired mental bolts at Scott and Ororo, seemingly killing them, and Stryker had him taken to Madison Square Garden, where he was attached to a machine that would use his brainpower to kill all living mutants. In order to stop this scheme, the X-Men were forced to join forces with their nemesis, Magneto. Protected by his psi-shielded helmet, Magneto was able to distract the Professor enough for the X-Men to destroy the machine. Cyclops entered into a televised debate with Stryker about his actions and Stryker pulled a gun, attempting to kill Ariel. Before he could fire, Styker was shot down by a police officer.[1]
God Loves, Man Kills II
Stryker had been serving a prison sentence as a result of the events of his previous actions. Lady Deathstrike, Stryker's lover and a villain with ties to the X-Men's Wolverine, made her way onto the airplane where Stryker was being transferred. Once there, she killed his guards and rescued him. Stryker immediately began a crusade against the X-Men, focusing on Wolverine, Cannonball, the X-treme X-Men team, and Shadowcat, towards whom he apparently held a grudge.[2][3][4]
Stryker sent a group of followers against several of the X-Men, and kidnapped Kitty Pryde. Along the way, Kitty convinced Stryker that mutants were not an abomination, and he seemed to turn over a new leaf.[5][6][7]
Stryker returned following M-Day, deeming the sudden massive reduction in number of the mutant population a sign of God, saying "He made the first step and now we have to take the next", basically rallying for genocide on TV.[8] With the help of Icarus, one of the Xavier Institute's students, he caused a bus to explode, killing about 1/4th of the depowered students from the academy.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
Then he planned the assassination of Wallflower, ordering one of his snipers to shoot her in the head. Next he tried to kill Dust, though X-23 foiled the attempt by dressing in Sooraya's cloths and taking the bullet herself.The deaths of Wallflower and Dust were Stryker's prime objectives, as he had been informed by Nimrod that both girls would be fundamental in the destruction of his army.Finally he attacked the institute with his "purifiers," killing Quill, leaving Onyxx and Cannonball critically wounded, and hurting Bishop, Emma Frost and other students.[19][20][21] After Stryker's Purifiers were defeated, he was killed by Elixir.[22][23][24]
Second Coming
Stryker was later resurrected by the Purifiers using Technarch technology and controlled by Bastion. He has re-assumed control of The Purifiers now combined with the Sapien League. When Bastion located Hope Summers and Cable, he dispatches the Reverend and his Purifiers to eliminate them. They are intercepted by a group of X-Men with the help of a "weaponized ritual" weapon, he is able to take Magik out of the fight. He also temporarily neutralizes Nightcrawlers' teleportation. With the X-Men unable to teleport at will, they are surrounded by the Purifiers. Sensing the battle has shifted and no longer in their favor, Wolverine instructs Angel to transform into his Archangel persona. He was able to quickly dispatch of the Purifiers, and killed William Stryker by slicing him in half.[25][26][27][25][28][29]

I can not say enough good things about the people who work at this venue and with this company! The whole wedding planning process can be a lot but choosing to go with Wedgewood was a no brainer. They make it so easy, organized and stress-free. Tori and Amanda were both nice... Read More and attentive throughout the whole process, Nick and Carmen were great ceremony and banquet directors. I never felt over-whelmed or nervous about any of the details. Any questions or requests I had were answered and they made me feel like my wedding was the only one they were planning(in reality they plan MANY at or time). I would fully recommend this amazing venue to anyone! I would also recommend the Wedgewood company, they have many different locations to choose from so they can pretty much fit any style you are going for. I had thee perfect day marrying my best friend(now husband! Woot!) and I would want that for every bride out there. Thank you to everyone at Wedgewood Sterling Hills for making my dream wedding, a reality!
My husband and I were married at Sterling Hills in January 2016 and, it was absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, the staff were a pleasure to work with and they made the whole process extremely easy and fun. Having gone through Wedgewood for our wedding, I really can't... Read More imagine going about it any other way. I didn't have to worry about finding vendors and the vendors that were provided were absolutely amazing. I would not change a single thing and, my husband and I both highly recommend Wedgewood Sterling Hills and their excellent staff. Shannon, Tori, and Micaela are the best of the best. We love them!
Our September Wedding 2015Reviewed on 1/01/2016 Lesia S
Absolutely great value and service as we wanted a all inclusive wedding as we are very busy people and don't have the time to bring in all the vendors you need for a wedding. We had appox 50 guests and very well planned to look the way we wanted it to be. We also had the service... Read More on the property and it was so beautiful. The vendors we had to choose from were very professional and highly recommended. Beautiful reception room and they allowed us to add additional decoration well in advance of the wedding. The food was also very good we got lots of complements from guests that said they enjoyed the menu. The wait staff was very attentive also. I would recommend any one on a tight budget to go with Wedgewood as their wedding venue .
We got married here 10/25/15 and it was absolutely magical!! Shannon, Tori, and every single staff member, including our banquet captain, absolutely blew us away with their enthusiasm and professionalism throughout the entire planning process, and all the way to the last... Read More dance. When my fiance and I first got engaged and were looking at wedding venues in the LA area, we were quite disheartened with our options, given our budget. When I saw the ad for Wedgewood, at first I wondered if it was a scam because the prices were so good and the photos looked so lovely. But I set up an appointment anyway, and was impressed from the very first meeting. The staff is enthusiastic and warm and really took care of us, always responding quickly and gladly to any and all questions that came up. After looking around at other vendors, we also realized that the ones partnered with Wedgewood were high quality and extremely fairly priced. Ultimately, we did end up going with an outside photographer (Samantha Turchin -- who we loved), and an outside florist (Exotic Green Garden -- who we also loved), and we had a friend DJ (although in retrospect that would probably have gone more smoothly if we'd hired a Wedgewood professional). The venue was classy. The Camarillo location was gorgeous. The food was good, especially compared with most banquet food I've had elsewhere. We were treated like royalty. Even when I was running a little late, the staff did not let me stress, but instead calmed my nerves and reminded me that this day was all about me and my soon-to-be husband. Before booking here, an acquaintance who'd gotten married here said she loved it so much she wished she could do it all over again. I totally know how she feels!! Thanks to the professionalism and quality of Wedgewood Sterling Hills, our wedding day was stress free and perfect. We had so much fun!!
Everything you needReviewed on 6/21/2015 Jessica F
We just had our wedding there and it went wonderfully. They include so many things in this price... I had 58 guests, a dj, cake, centerpieces, a day of and rehearsal dinner planner and so much more.
Wedding of my dreams!Reviewed on 11/09/2014 Ricki N
Wedgewood is not only a beautiful place to get married, but the staff really goes above and beyond! Wes, the banquet manager was absolutely amazing the night of our wedding. I highly recommend them! :)
Best Decision!Reviewed on 9/25/2014 Lauren W
I love Wedgewood. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. The venue in Camarillo is gorgeous and the architecture is classic and elegant. Shannon and Jessica, the coordinators, were fabulous to work with. We were able to get so much bang for our buck. We chose a lot of... Read More outside vendors, so we were able to get a lot of fun add-ons for our guests like a dessert bar, a photo booth, and a variety of appetizers. The catering staff was amazing and so accommodating and the DJ they provided was fun and perfect for the vibe we wanted. He was so willing to change the schedule on a whim when things came up. I would go with Wedgewood again in a heartbeat! They are the reason our reception went so smoothly.

Fairy Tale WeddingReviewed on 11/12/2013 Lizet M
I didnt have any expectations for my wedding day. I was never one of those girls that imagined their dream wedding or spent time picturing myself walking down the aisle. I had no idea what I was doing or how I was going to do it, but the people at Wedgewood made it all possible!... Read More I am a very busy woman with little to know free time and they made it so easy for me to plan my wedding. They provided me with a detailed timeline and booked appointments for me with the flourist, the baker, and the DJ. All I had to do was approve and sign on the dotted line. The flowers at my wedding we absolutely perfect. I had a fall wedding in mid October and my colors were ivory, mocha, and orange. The flowers had just the right touch of orange and a slight hint of Mocha that gave everything a very warm feel. The baker was brilliant-everyone devoured the cake! And my wedding was absolutely beautiful! From walking down the aisle to the grand entrance into the reception-absolutely beautiful. The lights, the table cloths and linens, the flowers-everything was absolutely perfect! My entire family was so impressed and so shocked that I could put something like that together. Little did they know that I had the biggest help from my Wedgewood coordinator, and that thanks to her and her team, I was able to have my fairy tale wedding without really doing much!
Beautiful WeddingReviewed on 10/01/2013 kristy k
In the beginning I had some issues with Wedgewood, but Shannon is great and really did an amazing job. Our ceremony was gorgeous, the reception even better, Pablo our DJ was the best. Wes our banquet captain excellent. They really know how to throw a wedding.

Great overall!
Get married here!Reviewed on 7/11/2013 Andree H
When we first toured this place I wasn't sure about it. My Fiancé was in love with it. So we booked it. They have an amazing, friendly staff. They only have wedding going on each morning and night which I loved because the other places we toured could have a few weddings at... Read More once. The packages are reasonably priced and can be customized. I didn't have as much stress as other brides I know because they help with so much. My wedding day went so smooth because of Wedgewood's amazing staff. I would get married here again if I could.
Wedding ReceptionReviewed on 2/03/2013 Teri P
1/2013 We got married in a church and had our reception here. Anna & Shannon were wonderful as our Coordinators, the day of Wes-banquet captain made sure we enjoyed everything. All of our needs were met, throughout the planning process. The cost value was great ( I shopped... Read More around a lot and had a whole year to plan), the food was great (even with a buffet outside in the cold) everyone's food was warm when they got inside to eat. The vendors that they recommended were also great, Jerry our dj, Flowers by Roni, Elliott's photo booth, and Anderson Photography made our day.
Pretty Much PerfectReviewed on 10/23/2012 Ashley R
Wedgewood was pretty much everything I was looking for in a venue. I wanted to have the ceremony and reception at the same place since over 90% of my guests would be coming from out of town. I also wanted to have the ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. I also needed a... Read More place with clean and easily accessible restrooms because I had a guest in a wheel chair and 6 grandparents in their 80's coming. And because both my family and my husband's family were coming from out of town we really needed to keep set up tasks for them to a minimum and Wedgewood was perfect because they took care of all the set up and tear down. It also needed to be affordable since my husband and I were paying for it, which Wedgewood is. I was also hoping to avoid buying a lot of stuff for the wedding so it was nice being able to use their table numbers, cake cutter etc (which was all very nice) and not be saddle with tons of useless junk after the wedding. They also accommodated guests with special needs very well. For my guest in a wheelchair they left spots without chairs for the ceremony and reception and were able to prepare special meals for my two guests with a gluten allergy. As far as food goes, as other reviews said it was pretty good, lots of people had positive remarks on it. The gluten allergy food sounded pretty plain but that is a tough allergy to work with. As far as what other people have said about communication, I am under the impression they are under new management because I didn't have any trouble communicating with them. I don't think I ever had anyone pick up my call directly but they were prompt with calling back and I don't think I sent them an email that didn't get a response within 24 hours, usually much less. All the coordination staff were very friendly and welcoming. The DJ we were provided with was excellent. We didn't use their flower, cake or photographer services. My only complaint is an incident that happened during the ceremony involving my dress. Another reviewer talked about an ugly runner and worn grass path but they have since paved a path and stage area in that location which works pretty well. However, because I was not anticipated being on grass I wasn't really looking out for and dirt or mud and a decent amount of mud got on my dress during the ceremony in the place where we stood to say our vows. I didn't notice until the ceremony was pretty much over but I was a little upset when I did. I'm assuming it was on the pavement since I didn't step in grass. I informed them of this though and based on my experience with the staff I'd assume they would do their best to avoid this in the future. Other than that, everything went perfect and they are super organized and put together.

Easiest Wedding Planning Ever with AMAZING ResultsReviewed on 5/22/2012 Debi C
When I first stumbled upon the Wedgewood Website I had a difficult time believing the AMAZING packages they had to offer at such AFFORDABLE prices. Let me assure you, that did not prepare me for the level of service we recieved. Every step - from invitations to the big day was... Read More simple. Stacy, Anna, Sarah, and Jen were a delight to work with and never batted an eye at any of the questions I had to ask! They knowledable and courteous staff made sure every last detail was in place and ensured out Guests had a great time! I could not have asked for more. I dare say - of all my friends planning currently planning or recently planned weddings, I DEFINITELY had the most relaxing and enjoyable experience! I cannot thank them enough for making our Big Day a dream!

My Wedding at WedgewoodReviewed on 9/06/2011 Nicole H
Wedgewood Wedding and Banquet Center at the Sterling Hills Golf Club was the perfect place to have my wedding. I planned my wedding from out of state, so having other vendors (floral, cake and DJ) included in the contract made planning a lot easier. The reason I deducted a... Read More star is that communications with the coordinators in the months before the wedding was difficult. I rarely received replies to my emails, phones were not usually answered, and voicemails were generally not returned. I did not have to contact Wedgewood very often so maybe I was just catching them during busy times. However, on my actual wedding day, the entire staff was fantastic. From the coordinator, to the wait staff and bartender, everyone was so nice and incredibly helpful. The décor was beautiful and the food was great! I would definitely recommend Wedgewood to anyone looking for a wedding and reception venue in the SoCal area that isn't overly expensive. Overall, Wedgewood is a great service for a great value!
VenueReviewed on 8/24/2011 Laura J
We were very happy with our wedding experience at this venue. The staff was great. We would highly recommend this venue.
Outstanding in every way!Reviewed on 6/16/2011 Jessica A
People are still talking about how amazing our wedding was! We were so lucky to have found Wedgewood Sterling Hills. We only had a few months to plan our wedding and so much was included in our package that we barely had to worry about anything! They included the DJ, the cake,... Read More the food, the ceremony, almost everything! The food was amazing, the staff was amazing, the banquet hall was fabulous! Everything was taken care of which made things so much easier on me. The ceremony was right outside of the banquet hall on a beautiful setting on the edge of the golf course. I highly highly recommend them! Not only was everything amazing, but the prices were so great, there was no way we'd get all this anywhere else for such a great price! Thank you Wedgewood, you guys were outstanding!

Nanaimo Bars
These sweet-salty bars are said to be named after their place of origin, the Canadian town of Nanaimo in British Columbia.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8 bars
- Time(Other): Plus 4 hr freezing
- 1/2 cup walnuts (2 ounces)
- 11 digestive biscuits, broken
- 2 1/2 ounces salted pretzels (about 7 rods)
- 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 pints mint chocolate chip ice cream, slightly softened
- 5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a few inches of overhang all around.
Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Cool, chop and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the biscuits until fine crumbs form; add to the walnuts. In a resealable plastic bag, crush the pretzels with a rolling pin until small chunks form; add the pretzels to the walnuts.
In a large saucepan, melt the stick of butter over very low heat. Add the brown sugar and cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Slowly drizzle the egg and vanilla into the saucepan, whisking, until thickened, 2 minutes. Mix in the walnut mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer and refrigerate the cookie base for 30 minutes.
Spread 1 1/2 pints of the ice cream over the cookie base and freeze for 2 hours. Reserve the remaining ice cream for another use.
Meanwhile, in a heatproof medium bowl, combine the chocolate, heavy cream, corn syrup and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
Pour the ganache over the ice cream and spread it evenly. Freeze for 2 hours, until set. Cut into 8 bars and serve.
Make Ahead
The bars can be frozen for up to 1 week.

My mom immigrated from Germany and was undocumented for about a year. My dad's family fled the Armenian Genocide. They all just wanted better lives for themselves - for me.
I am the American Way.
In case you were wondering how Millennials feel.
"It's time to draw a line in the sand for what's off-limits in the digital age."
In light of the latest (and ongoing) NSA spying leaks, an early reader of my forthcoming book, Without Their Permission, pointed out an eerily prophetic passage I'd written. It's from the final chapter of WTP, a rallying cry for the open Internet and (among other things) digital privacy rights -- my editor suggested I write a portion as a fictional dystopian graduation speech from the year 2025. And let me be clear, the following is fiction::
Just this morning I found a polite note in my Dropbox from the federal agent who investigated a "suspicious" photo I'd privately stored there from a family vacation. I'd done nothing wrong, of course, but he was just letting me know they had run a quick search. At least he left a note, right? Believe it or not, there was a time when we truly believed our digital storage was as private as our physical storage. Want to enter my home? Sure, get a warrant—same goes for my Dropbox. Those were the days….
These days, of course, the government doesn't need any due process to read our e-mail or search any of those formerly private messaging services, because they decided that the Fourth Amendment applies only to physical mail.
This is an unacceptable future (and present) for a country with inalienable rights to privacy as secured by our Constitution. I was on CNN and Bloomberg talking about these violations butif SOPA/PIPA was any indication, we need everyone talking about these issues, often.
I'll see many of my fellow New Yorkers at our Restore the Fourth rally this July 4th -- visit the one in your hometown!
America deserves better. Fortunately, she's designed so that we the people can do something about it. Let's get out there and do it.
Well, since Without Their Permission doesn't drop until October 1st, the one book you need to read this summer in order to be a better entrepreneur is the book that inspired me and Steve to start reddit: Masters of Doom.
It's about the founding story of id software, the video game company that revolutionized the industry with titles like Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake – not to mention occupied countless hours of my childhood.
Not your typical business book
Steve lent me a copy of this book sometime during our sophomore year and I devoured it. It's a pretty quick read. It's probably not for everyone, because id fanboys will most appreciate all the stories from the earliest days of Carmack and Romero.
Who knew changing the world could be so much fun?
Nevertheless, this book convinced me to consider starting a company. It just seemed like so much damn fun. Granted, we didn't end up starting a gaming company (well, I guess we had 'gamification' before that was a buzzword: karma, leaderboards, awards, etc) but the idea a few friends could get together in a house and start building something the world had never seen before – having a lot of fun in the process -- got me hooked.
Read at least one book this summer, you'll be better for it
Hopefully it'll be as rewarding for you while you spend some time away from the hustle. Even if you don't read Masters of Doom, get away from your inbox and the office this summer. We tend to fetishize hard work more than we should. Yes, it makes a difference, but don't forget about diminishing returns.
Preach, PG.
Father's Day is coming up here in the US (on June 16) and the internet is full of great, unique gift ideas to let dad know he's awesome.
My dad's birthday also happens to be June 10, so he basically gets one big gift (sorry, dad) every year.
This year we're having dinner with one of this favorite Washington Redskins thanks to a startup with a less-than-perfect name, Thuzio (props to @davetisch for turning me on to this startup). If your dad's a sports fan and you can bring a few of his friends in on it, this is sure to be a memorable time (just don't ruin the surprise like I did and accidentally CC him on one of the email threads).
As a 'Skins fan, there aren't a lot of things from Texas he'd like, but I've ordered him a brisket from Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood, TX. Assuming your dad enjoys eating, there's no shortage of tasty things for him on goldbely from across the USA.
I'm not sure how dad would take this, so I'm not getting him a subscription of "One Wipe Charlies" but you've got to give the company credit for taking the viral-video-marketing approach to the next level. Perhaps your dad is a bit adventurous or has a good sense of humor?
My dad can barely use his smartphone (love you, dad!) but if you've got an e-father, consider a pay as you go hotspot like Karma (no connection to reddit, though now that I think about it -- reddit gold is the perfect gift for any occasion).
I've been so impressed by how Fathead handled their shipping fiasco on /r/NFL that I want to show them some love -- perhaps my dad can use a life-sized Robert Griffin III in his bedroom?
If you ever need inspiration, there's always /r/shutupandtakemymoney and thisiswhyimbroke.com -- you're welcome.
Or what if you just don't have the money to spend because your still trying to get ramen-profitable with your first startup? (You know I'm all for that) Just spend time with him -- on the phone, facetime, or ideally in-person-face-time (like he did back in his day!). That's probably all he really wants, anyway.
Zoinks! Thanks for all the love everyone! By popular demand, I've TeeSprung the quote -- all profits to DonorsChoose.org
We're a generation in debt. I had a world-class education at the University of Virginia. I met my reddit co-founder Steve Huffman there on move-in day. That chance encounter changed both of our lives. I had some awesome professors. There was the fortuitous trip to Waffle House that convinced me I wanted to be an entrepreneur, not a lawyer. I've written the book about internet entrepreneurship I wish I had back then. But my kids won't have the same education I did. And that's a good thing.
A year ago I sat on a panel at the White House* for a room full of deans from universities across the country. We were tasked to talk about entrepreneurship and how to better prepare our nation's undergraduates for an uncertain job market. "A critical skill I see in great entrepreneurs and employees alike is resourcefulness. Resourcefulness doesn't come from case-studies, it comes from doing things." This turned out to be quite the applause line.
Paul Graham says the best founders are "relentlessly resourceful."
I've been thinking about that day in D.C. ever since.
Getting Things Done > Grade Point Average
I'm an employer and I don't really care where you went to school or what your GPA was -- I want to know what you've done. Paid off student loan debt by tutoring computer science in New York? Rock on. Raised $20,000 on kickstarter for a daft punk tribute album? Awesome! Started the 'dear photograph' meme? Splendid! Blogged years worth of eating across the world and now creating food-tour-guides? Now we're cooking with bacon.
This will not be on your course syllabus
What are you passionate about?
Writing code? Awesome. Start launching stuff. Tell your friends, see if any of them are willing to use it. If yes, then you're on to something, if no, figure out why your own friends aren't using it. Or maybe they're just not into doing things, that's cool, but Drew Houston taught me a great quote about that: "You are the average of your 5 closest friends."
