Category: boy saint names
We all might owe Nameberry's existence to Sister Miriam Gervase.
While the roots of Linda's name nerdism are different from mine — you can read her story here— and I'm sure you all have your own stories to tell, which we'd love to hear! — I trace a large part of my fascination with names to my Catholic girlhood.
Most kids back at Immaculate Conception School were dying to know whether the nuns had hair under those veils or what they wore to bed at night, but to me those mysteries paled in comparison to the nuns' names.
Nuns got to pick new names for themselves when they entered the convent. That itself was appealing enough, but what was really amazing was that their choices were not confined by ethnic background, historical period, or even gender.
The principal of Immaculate Conception, for instance, was named Sister Miriam Gervase, an appellation that had it all going on. Miriam may have been a Mary relative, but it was one used mostly by Jews. unfamiliar in our Irish and Italian Catholic enclave. And Gervase! That may have been a hot name in 6th century Gaul….for guys. But in mid-20th century New Jersey, it really stood out in the world of Gerrys and Jeans.

2012: Comics! GeekMom Book! Fiction! Niagara Falls! Meeting Gail Simone!
Posted by Corrina under About the Writer
1 Comment
Most of the time, I'm flailing about, trying to do multiple projects at once, juggling my kids, things that need doing around the house, and finding a small sliver of time to relax.
Making resolutions exhaust me because they tend to loom as yet more things that Must.Be.Done.
Instead, today, I'm going to take a look back and remind myself that I actually accomplished stuff in 2012 and that if I just keep my head down and cheerfully slog my way to greatness, this list next year will also remind me that, hey, I did stuff!
1. Cross that off the bucket list.
I wrote and had a comic story published, "The Promise,"a dream I've had since the first time I picked up a comic. This one was a long time coming, about four days, but so worth it that when I received the pages from my artist, the awesomely talented Cassandra James, I cried.
2. GeekMom the blog and book.
I never expected to be the author of a non-fiction book. I knew I loved blogging, so I was thrilled to be added in as a contributor to the GeekDad blog on Wired.Com. And spinning off GeekMom with my three co-editors, Kathy Ceceri, Natania Barron and Jenny Williams was a labor of love to give a voice to those who I felt strongly needed one.
So, yeah, this year, GeekMom accepted a contract to provide content to Wired.com, joining the GeekDad site!
And a book that we put together at crunch time, Geek Mom: Projects, Tips & Adventures for Moms and Their 21st Century Families, was published in October by Potter Craft of Random House Publishing. (more…)

Welcome to the Venturing Officers' Association of the Northeastern Pennsylvania! This webpage will provide you with all of the information regarding the functions of the Venturing Officer's Association, Venturing Event details, Contact Information, and much more. You can follow the respective links below to find what it is you are looking for.
In addition to the following information, the most fundamental question we often receive is "What is Venturing?" To answer that question in official terms, Venturing is a division of the Boy Scouts of America for young adults, both men and women, ages 14- 21. The purpose of the Venturing program is to provide positive experiences to help youth mature and to prepare them to become responsible adults. Beyond that, the possibilities are endless.
The real definition of Venturing, as the youth who are part of the program see it, is up to interpretation. Venturing Crews, which are the Venturing equivalent of Boy Scout Troops, may choose to specialize in any area they choose - whether it be a medical specialization, or an outdoor specialization, a climbing specialization, or even a medieval battle reenactment specialization. Those crews will then design a program that fits their specialization and is suitable for them. Many crews choose to not specialize at all, and do whatever new and exciting things they feel like doing.
Venturing, like Boy Scouting, also has a recognition/ advancement system and opportunities for leadership training – both of which are ultimately optional. A Venturer does whatever it is he or she wants to do; therefore, it is, in simplest terms, a youth- run program.
For more information about starting a Venturing Crew or joining an existing one, you can follow the "Venturing Units" link below, or get in touch with us by following the "Contact Us" link, also found below. Thanks, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Unique Teambuilding in Paradise
In the midst of economic uncertainty, rising food costs and stock market swings, corporations and organizations are looking for creative ways to motivate, inform, and entertain their employees so they can get the best ROI out of their team. If you think name game icebreakers, human knots, and trust falls in your company's board rooÂm will do the trick, think again.Â
Studies show that learning outside of the everyday classroom or office fosters creativity and increases information absorption and retention, so stimulate your group by bringing them to a distinctive, natural setting that engages all of their senses, challenges their body and mind, and provides unique teambuilding offerings.Â
Our 44-acre tropical island is equipped with a mile of white sandy beach, lush gardens, private marina, and endless recreation amenities – the ideal makings for memorable, engaging, and unique teambuilding exercises.
In addition to 462 newly renovated bungalow style guest rooms and over 65,000 square feet of flexible San Diego meeting space, Paradise Point specializes in going the extra mile by providing creative teambuilding exercises and incentives that truly challenge the imagination. Coordinated through our Conference Services department, Paradise Point offers a variety of off-the-wall events and interactive team challenges, providing opportunities for genuine cooperation, competition, and social interaction amongst group members.  Whether it's indoors or out, these unique teambuilding events can be customized to meet company objectives and/or a conference's theme. While creative teambuilding events may vary in size and scope, rest assured that participants will be challenged and entertained to the fullest, regardless of their physical abilities, age or gender.  However, a sense-of-humor is often required!
Remember fun? If you had to think about it, then you've waited too long to have some. Try some of these unique teambuilding events on for size:
- Participants working together in teams collaborate on a series of three dimensional tasks/challenges in "Know No Limits", accumulating as many points as possible within a given time frame.
- In "The SOS Challenge", an island "SURVIVOR" challenge like no other, teams must be ready to encounter anything and everything on the island, as they struggle to survive while amassing a maximum number of points and minimum number of penalties, in hopes of making it off the island alive.
Tag along on "Metro Mania", our creative high-tech scavenger hunt, involving secret black attachĂ© cases, encrypted clues, GPS devices, speed boats and so much more. Agent 007 was never this well prepared.Â
- Sailing regattas, group surf lessons, putt-putt competitions, beach bonfires, and more.
Ready to plan a meeting that will stick with your employees for the long-haul? Contact the Paradise Sales team at 800.542.6275.
In addition to working for Paradise Point, Todd Wiggins has over 10 years experience designing unique teambuilding events for major corporations organizations like L'Oreal, Target, HP, and Sony.

Today's action is a particularly good illustration of how strong markets have a tendency to stay sticky to the upside. Markets that go straight up don't just reverse suddenly and go straight down. It is very rare for markets to collapse when they are hitting highs.
It takes a while for topping action to play out. There are always late comers who have missed much of the move and they are looking for entry points on any pullback. In addition, there are the premature bears who end up servicing as short squeeze fodder. Performance anxiety is another driver that tends to keep markets running. People have a tendency to be more worried about missing more upside than they are about being caught in a reversal.
When the market starts to top, one of the first things we will see is that leadership and momentum tend to narrow. Fewer stocks will be running, but there is still enough money chasing that it keeps the indices up.
Another sign that a top is forming is when we see weak closes. We haven't had any of those lately and the action today is textbook bullish again. The market opened soft, and even had bad news, but buyers jumped on the shallow pullbacks. As the day winds down, the market is already hitting intraday highs.
The main clue that many technicians and momentum players use to signal that the market is topping is distribution days. When the market has a down day on higher volume it signals that institutions are selling and a top may be developing. Since there's barely been a negative day this year, distribution is not yet a problem.
My biggest complaint is that there isn't much energy. The market is sleepwalking higher and it is extremely difficult to be aggressive. I see some patterns I like, but I'm not able to put much money into them.
It might not be too exciting, but this market is still acting just fine.

CONSERVATION work on a world-famous monument in an Abergavenny church has begun.
The Jesse figure at St Mary's Priory Church is undergoing major conservation work to ensure it is maintained for generations to come.
The wooden monument, which has only ever left the church once to go to the Tate Gallery in London and regularly features on television, sits in the north transept at the entrance to The Lewis Chapel.
Father Mark Soady, the Vicar of St Mary's Church, said the extraordinary larger-than-life figure once formed the base of an intricate and elaborate construction, which depicts the family tree of Jesus Christ from Jesse, the father of King David.
So-called Jesse figures and Jesse trees are not uncommon in stained glass. But this is the only one in wood to be found in the United Kingdom, and probably the world.
He said: "We do not know who carved it but we do know that it retains its extraordinary command of our attention and fascination."
Carved from one solid piece of oak, probably in the 15th century, it was originally highly coloured and depicted all the Davidic kings and descendants, surmounted by the figures of Mary and the Child, and Christ in glory.
Latest thought estimates the height of the 'tree' growing from Jesse's side would have been between 25ft and 30ft.
Conservator, Valentine Walsh was commissioned to carry out the project and began work last Thursday.
Father Mark said: "The work is being carried out with a matter of urgency to ensure the paint doesn't peel off and that the structure is sound."
"It needs tender loving care to ensure it is maintained for generations to come."
Funded by the St Mary's Priory Monuments Fund, set up to help maintain the large number of Medieval monuments in the church, the project is expected to cost thousands rather than tens of thousands be completed within a month.

Detailed Description:
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports 1 to 2 million malaria deaths annually, with most malaria-related deaths occurring in children. The malaria burden is compounded by the HIV epidemic, which is most prevalent in areas endemic for malaria, notably Sub-Saharan Africa where nine in ten children younger than 15 years of age are infected with HIV. The purpose of this study is to compare parasitemia levels in HIV-infected infants and children receiving PI- or NNRTI-based HAART regimens.
This study will enroll a total of 140 participants, 35 from each of the 4 groups in IMPAACT P1060.
This substudy will last until 24 weeks after the last P1060 enrollment or until P1060 study discontinuation. Participants must meet enrollment criteria for P1060 as well as additional criteria for this study. Study visits will occur as a part of P1060 study visits, all of which include a physical exam, blood collection, and assessments of HIV-related symptoms.
Participants are also encouraged to return to the primary clinic site for intercurrent illness visits for assessment, thick and thin blood smear, and filter paper blood collection, however these visits are not mandatory for study participation.

Would he be open to coming off the bench moving forward?
"Probably not," answered Gasol.
Additionally the Lakers forward-center expects to be on the floor in the final moments of games.

Yup, not at all. Hunter was pretty much Stern's punching bag during negotiations. I suppose it's for the better - if Hunter were halfway competent the lockout would probably have dragged on for longer.
@chadfordinsider: NBA Trade Watch: 10 impact players most likely to be traded before the Feb trade deadline http://t.co/8fj2bqnK (insider)
Anybody can post this? Thanks.
But I agree, freakin Nash is one of the worst defenders I've ever seen. He was supposed to be this big addition and he's made the lake show worse.
.Impact Players Most Likely To Be Moved
(Ranked from most likely to least likely to be traded)
1. Josh Smith, F, Hawks
Smith has been on the trade block for several years, but the Hawks always pull back at the last second. Once again Smith is the talk of the NBA after he was thrown out of practice Tuesday and suspended for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn. His agent says Smith is frustrated, but hasn't demanded a trade.
The Hawks have been fielding calls, but have been reluctant to trade him because they believe Smith's presence in Atlanta could be a powerful lure for Dwight Howard this summer. But with Howard's situation up in the air, the time seems right for the Hawks and Smith to move on. Dallas, Houston, Boston, Milwaukee, Toronto and the Lakers are all potential suitors. The biggest question is: What is the price tag for a mercurial forward who is entering his prime and will be a free agent this summer?
2. Rudy Gay, F, Grizzlies
The fact that Memphis has been exploring trades for Gay has been well-documented. The team has to start cutting payroll, and Gay, while talented, seems to be its best trade chip. The Grizzlies aren't parting with Marc Gasol, and Zach Randolph and Mike Conley aren't going to bring back the assets (draft picks, young players or vets on less expensive contracts) the Grizzlies are looking for.
The Grizzlies have recently pulled back a bit on the Gay sweepstakes because they haven't been blown away by what teams are willing to offer in return. But trade offers inevitably get stronger as we get closer to the deadline, and many GMs around the league believe the Grizzlies will eventually get what they want in mid-February. The Wizards, Clippers, Magic and Mavs have all shown interest in Gay.
3. Al Jefferson, F/C, Jazz
The one thing I know about the Jazz is that we're not going to know about any Jefferson deal until the Jazz hand him a plane ticket. The Jazz are as secretive an organization as there is and they've been tight-lipped about their trade plans this season. But virtually every GM in the league believes the Jazz are moving one of their two big men -- either Jefferson or Paul Millsap. Because Millsap is a favorite of the team, Jefferson could be the odd man out.
The team needs to clear more playing time for Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter and would probably be happy with a nice draft pick or a young point guard prospect in return.
4. Danny Granger, F, Pacers
Granger has missed the entire season with a knee injury, but the Pacers are eyeing his return in late January or early February. If they can get him back into the swing of things quickly -- and get his trade value up -- expect them to try to flip him fast now that Paul George has replaced Granger as the alpha dog of the team.
Indiana needs a long-term replacement for David West, who becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. So if the Pacers could get a young power forward or another young point guard for Granger, I would expect them to make a deal.
5. Marcin Gortat, C, Suns
The Suns are a mess and there's no clear way to fix this team right now. They parted ways with coach Alvin Gentry on Friday, but Gentry wasn't the person who put together this mismatch of assets, and it's highly doubtful any coach is going to make a major turnaround. The Suns are going to need to make some trades. The truth is there aren't a lot of players on their roster with a ton of trade value.
Gortat may be the exception. Teams are always looking for tough, productive big men. If the Suns decide to blow things up and try to collect young assets, I think they can get a draft pick and a young prospect in return for Gortat. Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta are all on speed dial.
6. Andrea Bargnani, F/C, Raptors
GM Bryan Colangelo loves Bargnani, whom he selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft. That's the only reason the Italian big man wasn't shipped away years ago. At various times in Bargnani's career, Colangelo has compared the sweet-shooting big man to Dirk Nowitzki. The problem is that Bargnani hasn't come close to living up to that comparison.
If the Raptors can package Bargnani and point guard Jose Calderon for picks and expiring contracts, they could be major players in free agency next summer. Or perhaps they try again to ship them to the Lakers in return for Pau Gasol. Colangelo may no longer have the patience to wait on more rookies to turn the team around.
7. Brandon Jennings, PG, Bucks
The Bucks have been among the most active teams in the league when it comes to trade calls. It doesn't look like anyone on their roster is safe. While my esteemed colleague Marc Stein wrote recently that Jennings was the least likely Buck to be moved, I'm not so sure.
Jennings hits restricted free agency this summer and, with a plethora of teams under the cap, someone is going to make him a big offer. Jennings would prefer a trade, and the Bucks aren't going to want to break the bank for him, so the team has been open to parting ways if they can get a point guard and big man in return.
8. Eric Bledsoe, PG, Clippers
The Clippers don't want to trade Bledsoe. Not only has he been a terrific sparkplug off the bench for them, he's also been valuable insurance for those occasions when Chris Paul is out with injury. Furthermore, Bledsoe is even better insurance should Paul decide to bolt for another team this summer when he hits free agency.
The problem is there is almost no chance that Bledsoe is wearing a Clippers uniform next year. A restricted free agent in the summer of 2014, he will get a major offer from a team under the cap and the Clippers already know they won't be able to afford to match it. With so many teams coveting Bledsoe, the Clippers could get some terrific assets in return -- either now or this summer. But with his stock probably as high as it's ever going to be, now may be the time to make a deal. It's a very tough call, but a number of GMs I spoke with are convinced that at the end of the day the Clippers will try to get some value in return for him before the deadline.
9. DeMarcus Cousins, C, Kings
Several GMs have told me that their calls to the Kings about Cousins' availability are being rebuffed. With the team currently for sale, it makes sense that president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie's hands are tied, even if he wants to trade Cousins.
The reason he's on the list is because Cousins seems like he's one more incident away from forcing a trade. Given his background and desire for a new team, that's not out of the question. There are a lot of teams, including the Mavs, Rockets, Celtics and Suns, ready to help take Cousins off the Kings' hands.
10. Rajon Rondo, PG, Celtics
Rondo actually sat atop our trade list last year and ended up going nowhere. President of basketball operations Danny Ainge has been out front this year claiming it doesn't make sense to move Rondo or any of the other Celtics veterans. They're going for a championship. Fair enough. Other GMs around the league report the Celtics are looking to shore up their team with a veteran big man.
However, I'm also hearing that Ainge has been quietly exploring other options should his quest to strengthen his team fail. If a team offers significant young assets for Rondo or Paul Pierce, this might be the year the Celtics finally blow things up.

"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
These insider articles are always pure speculation. Sometimes they make sense, other times they don't. But if anyone really thinks we could get anything of equal value for Danny coming off a knee injury, they're crazy.
Here's what I hate, there shoudl be a rule when writing those types of columns, you always need to name players that can be traded for these guys as well as the guy being traded.
Like for Danny, just saying "a young PF or a young PG" ok cool great, how about you throw out some actual names to target? Or is that too much work?
I mean Kobe is still good enough, that kind of like David West, he can be hid on D... That's all I meant. Kobe gets destroyed pretty bad, but we've also seen some pretty damn decent defensive performances as well (like West who's had some pretty damn good performances too).
As we have both said though, Nash is so pathetic at this point I don't think he's good enough to start. Ray Allen was driving to the basket on him and Ray is so slow he's been relegated to a spot up jump shooter and that's it.
I really don't like the make up of the Lakers. I'd trade both Nash and Gasol. Get someone young with Nash like, Kemba Walker, or Kyle Lowry, and trade Gasol for Josh Smith.
Josh Smith playing the 4 would make the Lakers faster, more versatile, and like the Pacers they'd now be starting two potential defensive player of the year candidates in Smith and Howard.
And the money Granger makes means it virtually impossible to move a young asset like that, even in the extraordinarily unlikely scenario the other team would have the slightest interest in it. Besides, what team with a young asset is going to have any interest in getting a guy in what would have to be a total "win now" move?
Granger is basically untradeable outside of some major multi-team deal. And I wouldn't be banking on that.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
This whole thing has a kind of Casablanca 'round up the usual suspects' feel to it. Glad I'm not paying ESPN for this kind of insight.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I still don't get the speculation that Atlanta wants Dwight Howard, are they planning in trading Horford? or they are planning in playing Howard/Horford and Josh Smith together? I don't see that working.
I agree with the highlighted part, it would be nice if Utah wanted to send us Millsap for Danny too bad they are not that stupid.4. Danny Granger, F, Pacers
Granger has missed the entire season with a knee injury, but the Pacers are eyeing his return in late January or early February. If they can get him back into the swing of things quickly -- and get his trade value up -- expect them to try to flip him fast now that Paul George has replaced Granger as the alpha dog of the team.
Indiana needs a long-term replacement for David West, who becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. So if the Pacers could get a young power forward or another young point guard for Granger, I would expect them to make a deal.
I actually think Gasol for Smith makes sense for both teams (usually never happens) Smith would be an absolute beast being able to play the undersized 4 role next to D-12.
Kobe has lost a step, sure, but he's not out there getting destroyed.
He's getting older, and more often than not when I watch, he doesn't take a break in the second half. And then at the end of the game he's expected to close the game. And then because Nash can't defend anyone, he's also got to defend the other team's best guard.
Kobe always settled for his well defended midrange jumpers for baskets at the end of the games. Now he often settles for threes. And he's often short.
As well as he's played offensively, I don't think he's got the energy to do all that and play as many minutes as he does. (He played as many minutes as Lebron last night.) I think that's just the reality of his age.
I still say though, if this team gets themselves together and sneaks into the playoffs as a lower seed, it'll suck to be the team that has to play them as they're reward for a good season. Because it's still going to be Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, and Dwight Howard..in the playoffs.
He needs his energy reserved for his contributions on offense.
It's not that he cannot do it. He can but he just doesn't care and watches his man to cut to the rim while he doesn't even move. He is conserving energy in order to play offense.
His last 3-4 All-Defense team awards have been a joke.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I mean that's kind of my point. Danny is number 4 on this list, who is going to give us a young PF or young PG worth Danny? Probably not many teams, it's not a great matchup, but it is lazy journalism.
The biggest problem, of course, is the minutes. I can totally see why he cannot play both D and O for 40 minutes in his age.

ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) -- A northeast Ohio man whose girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter died from injuries suffered while he was baby-sitting has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Twenty-seven-year-old Luis Lopez had pleaded guilty last week to involuntary manslaughter, endangering children and domestic violence.
As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors in Elyria, west of Cleveland, had dropped murder and felonious assault charges. The (Lorain) Morning Journal (http://bit.ly/1lS4a6E ) reports Lopez was sentenced Wednesday.
Prosecutors agreed to the reduced charges after an investigation showed Aaviana Payne likely died after Lopez accidentally dropped her on the stairs and she hit her head. They said Lopez didn't seek medical attention for the girl, which led to her death.

Pearls and GirlsMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Once an old man died, and in his Will he stated that all the pearls he kept in a little bag were to be distributed among his daughters. To make things fair, the distribution must be done in the following way:
The older girl should receive one pearl, and a seventh of the remaining pearls in the bag.
The second girl should receive two pearls, and a seventh of the remaining pearls in the bag.
The third girl should receive three pearls, and a seventh of the remaining pearls in the bag.
And so on until all the pearls are exhausted.
Needless to say, the younger girl grew angry, and went to talk to the Judge because, if distributed that way, she probably would not get a pearl at all.
The wise Judge looked at her and said: "Don't worry, my child. Your father was a wise man. He made everything quite right so that, after all the pearls are given, each one of you will have the same quantity of pearls and there will be no pearls left."
And so it was.
How many pearls were there in the bag?
How many daughters did the old man have?
How many pearls did each girl get?
HintIf there are no pearls left, how many pearls are in the bag for the last girl? How many pearls did the second-to-last girl get?
AnswerThere were 36 pearls.
There were 6 daughters.
Each daughter got 6 pearls.
The girl number x will have x pearls and a seventh of the rest. Since the last girl leaves no pearls in the bag, then when she takes her pearls the rest in the bag is zero (a seventh of nothing is nothing).
Now, let's say the last girl was number k. Then she took k pearls and left the bag empty. But as all the girls end up with the same number of pearls, then each girl has k pearls in her hands. That is, the total number of pearls is: k pearls * k girls = square of k.
Let's look at the girl number k-1. She takes k-1 pearls and a seventh of the rest, and leaves exactly k pearls for the last girl (remember the last girl found k pearls in the bag and takes them all). But, since each girl ends up with k pearls, then the "seventh of the rest" for the k-1 girl should be 1 pearl (to sum up k pearls at last: k-1+1=k). That means that k pearls of the last girl plus 1 pearl of the k-1 girl divided by 7 results in 1 (a seventh of the rest is 1, (k+1)/7=1 ).
That is, k+1 = 7 and then k = 6.
So, the number of pearls is 6*6 = 36, and there were 6 girls.

WATSONVILLE -- Wearing a red apron festooned with snowflakes and a cheery Santa hat that said "Kiss Me," Audrey Carrithers handed out plates and forks at the annual Salvation Army Christmas dinner.
"Merry Christmas," she said as people came to the table to pile their plates high with turkey, rice, beans and salad.
Carrithers and other members of the All Saints Episcopal Church serve dinners here throughout the winter, as she's done for almost 30 years now.
"Today, because it's Christmas, we have a lot of extra help," she said, gesturing to the volunteers serving food and cleaning the kitchen.
Christmas conjures up images of family and large meals, but for those in the community without family or who have fallen on hard times, the Salvation Army's holiday dinner provides a slice of holiday spirit.
Volunteers led dinner attendees in a round of Christmas carols before serving the food, their buoyant voices filled the small, green room of the Grant Street facility. "Jingle Bells" moved into "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and "Feliz Navidad," with "Joy to the World" finishing the repertoire off. Tables were decorated with red and green tablecloths, and a prayer was recited in both English and Spanish.
Most of the people who came to dinner were single men, and old friends greeted each other as they settled down to eat.
For William Stewart, the dinner provided him a chance to be around other people and in particular, other Christians, he said.
Stewart, who grew up in Florida and has no family in the U.S., said he recently moved to a shelter in Watsonville because he couldn't afford Santa Cruz anymore and he began to feel isolated here.
"It's dangerous to be by yourself during the end times," he said.
Stewart, 40, said God had recently told him to give up surfing and to get his life on a better track. He's now working to move into a Christian men's home where he hopes to surround himself with like-minded people.
Then, he hopes, maybe he will be able to find what he has asked God for -- a wife, and perhaps a family.
"It's very important to be with people whose hearts are with you," he said.
And although he said he felt at peace Tuesday, there was a hint of sadness as he recalled Christmas Days of the past.
"Christmas was different 20 years ago," he said. "People were happier."

My how things change. When the BMW K1200R was introduced in 2004, it was billed as the "most powerful naked bike of all times." Now, thanks to the Suzuki B-King, the K1300R is being called "the most powerful naked bike BMW has ever built." That must smart. In addition to a little more power and torque thanks to the slightly larger engine, the K1300R also receives identical suspension to the K1300S sports tourer. It's actually the add-ons that have us most excited: both traction control and a quickshifter have become optional extras.
We liked the old K1200R, but found its low center of gravity and long
wheelbase contributed to slow handling and, while riding in town, were
constantly annoyed by its jerky fuel injection. Bizarrely, BMW claims
to have made that wheelbase longer, which surely contributes to slower
Power is now up to 173bhp (from 163), torque stands at 103lb/ft (from
94), but more importantly the final drive ratio has been reduced to
2.91 (compared to 2.82 on the K1300S) for increased acceleration at the
expense of top speed. The only fly in the ointment is the weight: 243kg
(536lb) with a full tank of fuel. In comparison the portly B-King
weighs just 235kg (518lb).
In addition to the additional 135cc, BMW harps on about the ESA II
electronically adjustable suspension (which we'll be explaining in its
own article shortly), the enhanced handling thanks to firmer springs
and dampers, and the decreased emissions thanks to the big, heavy
three-way catalyst. The big change that we're not seeing (especially in
the dyno graph) is the addition of smoother fueling or an increase in
ability over, say, a bike like a Honda 919, which seems to be capable
of everything the K1300R is, but with better handling, less weight and
a lower price tag.

Monarchs Migrate Off The Beaten Path
AUSTIN, Texas — Observers have spotted tens of thousands of monarch butterflies migrating across the Texas coast from Louisiana to Mexico in what is being described as "the best coastal monarch viewing in the last 15 years."
The majority of monarchs normally migrate through the central flyway, which extends from I-35 west to Midland, Texas, but this year the coastal flyway has been more impressive. Scientists are unsure as to what has caused this change.
"I can't really say what it is, but it's always a little bit of a mystery about where they come from and how they travel in migration," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Entomologist Mike Quinn. "I would say the coastal flyway is just not well understood."
Nearly all of the monarch butterflies east of the Rocky Mountains in North America travel south through Texas each fall to spend the winter in one spot in the Mexican mountains. Monarchs tend to fly in masses and migrate up to 3,000 miles from northeast North America to central Mexico and half way back the following spring. They are the only butterflies to make such a long, two-way migration every year.
The highest observation numbers are currently north of Corpus Christi and Quinn expects the butterflies to be visible along the coastline for another two weeks. "People should have plenty of opportunities to get out to the coast, parks and refuges to see this wonderful phenomenon," he said.
Monarchs have also been known to set up colonies along the Gulf coast of Texas, and Quinn encourages the public to report such sightings at email@example.com.
Adult monarch butterflies are orange with black veins and white spotted wing borders. Males have a black scent patch on a vein across the middle of the hind wing. Additional information may be found on the TPWD Web site.

text: Frank lost control of the game, I wish you could see that. I know a coach can't control a players wide open miss. But, His subs was terrible and he done nothing to change the pace of the game between all his early timeouts. Which, would have been awful if Pacers had a chance at the end and needed that last crucial timeout and wouldn't have had one. Why pull Lance and Hans out when they was balling is beyond me. Hans was showing the aggression and grabbing rebounds like a kid grabbing candy in a candy store. Lance was straight up balling and Spurs had no answer for him and it took the refs to slow him down and then Frank to put the chains on the beast. Ian was playing aggressively and doing quite well but to leave Hibbert on the bench so long is just ridiculous. He needs more time to get going and by the time he comes in the ball is always force to him, This is unacceptable, Hibbert should always be in at the 8:30 mark unless he is in foul trouble.

Extra Hands for ALS exists to assist people with ALS and their families, raise public awareness of the disease, energize the ALS community, and introduce young adults to community service.
Through Extra Hands for ALS, high school and college students volunteer to help people with ALS and their families by doing chores and errands or just providing company for the homebound. Students also organize and participate in ALS public awareness events designed to teach their peers and communities about the disease.
Student volunteers complete a training program with ALS clinicians and social workers, and then are placed on a team with another volunteer and an adult mentor, usually an experienced adult volunteer or ALS survivor. In the home, students provide "friendly visitor" services such as helping with mail or email, housecleaning, getting groceries, doing yard work, reading aloud, or simply providing company to the patient. Once per semester, students participate in a public awareness event such as organizing an ALS Awareness Day at their school or running an information booth at a community fair.
An adult mentor works with each team to guide and coach the student volunteers and to serve as an additional source of aid for the ALS family. Mentors visit the families once each month, pitching in with whatever needs to be done and providing emotional support. They keep in frequent contact with everyone on the team to ensure all goes smoothly, and they work with the student volunteers on their public awareness initiatives. Mentors also function as ambassadors for Extra Hands into their own personal and professional networks.
Extra Hands for ALS is designed to benefit people with ALS, volunteers, and the ALS community at large. Through this program, young people have the opportunity to connect deeply with an issue and the people it affects, to become involved in their communities, and to explore possible career paths in healthcare and social services. ALS families directly benefit from the services of the volunteers. Additionally, the program is intended to expand the circle of people who are actively involved with ALS and thereby unite and invigorate the nationwide ALS community.
If you are interested, please email or call Kati Cawley, Program Manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 617-331-3014.
Camp Jabberwocky Martha's Vineyard Cerebral Palsy Camp
Email: email@example.com
Camp Jabberwocky is an overnight camp on Martha's Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts. The camp is run for children and young adults with mental and physical disabilities and runs for about four weeks, from the end of July to the end of August. Jabberwocky serves about 30 campers each week, with a staff of about 25 volunteers who receive no formal pay but who do receive free room and board while living at camp. Jabberwocky is looking for counselors who can devote some or most of August to working with an amazing group of campers and counselors. While we prefer counselors to come for a monty, they may be able to come for one, two or four weeks. Counselors are responsible for the care of their camper, running activities, and general service to the camp as a whole. A daily schedule includes but is not limited to breakfast, music class, activities (including pottery, jewelry making, basketball, yoga, painting, baseball, etc.), lunch, the beach, dinner and an evening activity (e.g., going to concerts, drumming cookouts on the beach, dances). Days are full, but filled with great joy and inordinate amount of laughter. Working at camp is a truly unique experience.
Experience working with special needs children is not necessary; orientation will be held prior to the start of camp, and most people have no experience before coming to camp. Please contact Rachel Winter either at email@example.com or at email@example.com if you have any questions or are interested in working at Jabberwocky.

Gibson, Bowa discuss Perez jersey incident
PHOENIX -- Phillies third-base coach Larry Bowa said on Sunday that he had nothing to do with his club complaining to the umpires on Friday night about the slits in the long-sleeve undergarment worn in that game by D-backs reliever Oliver Perez. Perez was told to take off the shirt.
"It was a player," Bowa said unsolicited. "I can't even see that far."
When told that it was D-backs manager Kirk Gibson who implied it might have been Bowa, who alerted Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg about the possible uniform violation, Bowa added:
"Well, you go back and tell him I didn't do it."
Bowa then went out on the field during batting practice and told Gibson himself.
"I didn't say it was Bowa," Gibson said good-naturedly in bringing the subject up unprompted during Sunday's pregame media conference. "You told him I said it."
What Gibson said on Friday night was this:
"[The umpire] said that one sleeve was longer than the other and he had a little tear in it. There was nothing we could do about it. The rule says it's supposed to be the same length, the same color. And it can't be flapping. I have a pretty good idea whose call that was in the other dugout and it wasn't Sandberg."
When asked if he was talking about "Pee Wee," Bowa's nickname, Gibson responded: "You figure it out!"
Bowa read the comment and apparently took exception.
Phillies outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. corroborated that Bowa had nothing to do with it.
"It was definitely a player," Gwynn said. "I'm not going to tell you who it was, but he noticed it during batting practice. We just weren't sure if we were going to use it."
Perez was brought in to open the eighth inning of the eventual 5-4 D-backs win and face lefty hitters Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. After Utley flied out, Sandberg came out of the dugout to complain to plate umpire Mark Wegner.
The four umpires met and Wegner told Perez to remove the shirt, which had slits in each sleeve. On the way to the dugout, he dropped the ball, flipped his glove to the ground and began disrobing, returning to pitch without a shirt beneath his white D-backs jersey.
Howard singled and Perez was removed from the game for right-hander Brad Ziegler.
Gibson was told on Sunday that a lot of media members thought he was talking about Bowa.
"I never said anything about Bowa, but Larry has a good reputation, I admit it," Gibson said. "Could we be done?"
