ATLANTA - Ryan Langerhans hit a 10th-inning homer, the Nationals' fifth of the game, and Washington recovered from blowing a two-run lead in the ninth to beat the Atlanta Braves 8-5 on Saturday.
The Nationals matched their season high for homers, including two by Elijah Dukes. Langerhans' go-ahead shot in the 10th off Mike Gonzalez (0-2) was his second this season, both as a pinch hitter.
Dukes had four hits, including a run-scoring single in the Nationals' three-run 10th inning, and drove in three runs.
The Braves rallied from a 5-3 deficit against Joel Hanrahan in the ninth. Kelly Johnson tied the game with a bases-loaded double, but the drive bounced over the wall for a ground-rule double, preventing the winning run from scoring.
The Nationals rebounded from the third blown save in 10 chances for Hanrahan (6-3).
Langerhans, who began his career with Atlanta, homered leading off the 10th. With one out, Cristian Guzman tripled past a diving Omar Infante in left field. Ryan Zimmerman drove in Guzman with a double off Gonzalez and scored on Dukes' single off Jorge Julio.
Willie Harris and Zimmerman hit third-inning homers off Mike Hampton.
Washington's Tim Redding gave up five hits and three runs, two earned, in six innings but was denied his third straight win.
Casey Kotchman, who had two hits, led off the ninth with a single off Hanrahan and moved to third on Jeff Francoeur's double.
Hanrahan walked pinch-hitter Greg Norton, loading the bases, before striking out Josh Anderson.
Two runs scored on Johnson's ground-rule double, but Brent Lillibridge, who was running for Norton, had to return to third base. If the ball had remained in play, Lillibridge would have easily scored the winning run.
Hanrahan issued an intentional walk to Chipper Jones, again loading the bases. Brian McCann grounded out to end the inning.
Dukes had his second career two-homer game in a span of 10 days, hitting line-drive shots into the left-field seats in the second and fourth. Dukes also hit two homers Aug. 28 in an 11-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Hampton gave up eight hits, including a career-high four homers, and five runs - four earned - over seven innings.
The Braves hit one homer, a fourth-inning shot to right-center by Yunel Escobar, but stayed close with two runs in the second on Brandon Jones' sacrifice fly and Gregor Blanco's RBI single.
Escobar's homer cut Washington's lead to 4-3, but the Nationals added an unearned run off Hampton in the seventh. Emilio Bonifacio reached second on Chipper Jones' error at third base. Pinch-hitter Anderson Hernandez drove in Bonifacio with a single.
Notes: The Nationals also hit five homers on June 10 at Pittsburgh. ... Washington manager Manny Acta said he is moving RHP Jason Bergmann to the bullpen, clearing a spot for rookie RHP Shairon Martis in the rotation. ... Hampton allowed three homers in a game six times, most recently Aug. 29, 2002, against San Francisco while with Colorado.

A judge considering whether a 14-year-old girl should be tried as an adult for her alleged role in the beating and stabbing of an Escondido eighth-grader may issue his decision Tuesday afternoon, a prosecutor said.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Weathers listened to a day and a half of testimony this week. On Friday, he took the case under submission and set a hearing for 3 p.m. Tuesday, prosecutor Kristie Nikoletich said.
The legal burden is on the defense to show that the Escondido teenager ---- who is accused of attempted murder and torture ---- should remain in the juvenile justice system, where the focus is rehabilitation.
Another 14-year-old girl accused of taking part in the May 3 attack has been charged as an adult.
Authorities said the two girls forced the 14-year-old victim to her knees, carved her body and stabbed her five times.

Organizers say the Saturday event will be the largest gathering of Girl Scouts in history with girls coming from around the world. They hope to set a Guinness World Record. Girls from every state are expected to attend.
Moore, a former Girl Scout, will address the crowd. Events are planned around the Washington Monument from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The "Girl Scouts Rock the Mall'' will feature performers including Erin Willett, a finalist on TV's "The Voice'' and "American Idol'' finalist Thia Megia.
Other activities include yoga, a fashion show and a news quiz game show from the Newseum, a museum about journalism.

I'm in. I'll register for the Grand Tour today, and get the book. I'm totally fine with ~300mile days; not sure if I want to do ~600 mile days. And taking that much time in a row off is going to be an issue for me; being self-employed sucks.
What software are you using to plan the route?
I think some three day weekend type rides would be awesome; blow out of town early on a Friday, get to 'H', spend the night, come back up and do 'I', 'J', and the finish point on Sat., spend the night and then head back home on Sun.
Couple weeks later, go out and do S-O, out and back?
K-N some other weekend?

Flags fly in honor of all who serve
by Cheryle Rivas
USASOC Public Affairs
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (USASOC News Service, May 12, 2014) - In a show of pride and patriotism, members of the Fort Bragg and Fayetteville community gathered May 10, for the 2014 North Carolina Field of Honor at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in downtown Fayetteville.
More than 900 U.S. flags waved in the background as Fayetteville City Mayor Nat Robertson welcomed the crowd of more than 150 attendees.
Brig. Gen. Kurt Sonntag, deputy commanding general for U.S. Army Special Operations Command, offered remarks during the ceremony.
"These hundreds of flags represent honor, duty and respect," he said. "It is a patriotic tribute to the strength and unity of Americans and a community that comes together to honor their military."
During the ceremony, 10 flags were dedicated and placed in honor or in memory of a military service member. One was placed in memory of Fayetteville native and Medal of Honor recipient Rudy Hernandez and two were USASOC honorees. Sgt. Maj. William Lubbers, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), who selflessly gave his life to save fellow Soldiers and family members when their parade float was hit by a train during a Veteran's Day parade in Texas; and retired Command Sgt. Maj. Hester "Hoopy" Qualls, a USASOC civil service employee, who acted swiftly to set up a command center immediately following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, accounting for all military members who participated in the run.
The event was an opportunity for the community to join together and honor its military – those who are currently serving, those who have served and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of security and freedom.
"Each flag displayed today tells a story – as you walk among these American flags, listen for the stories that each flag tells," Brig. Gen. Sonntag said. "This field offers hope, comfort and healing – it represents the men and women who bravely served our country."
The Field of Honor will be on display at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum through June 28.

text: Currently Nadal has a 6-2 winning record against Federer with 4-1 record this year alone. If everything goes according to plan, Nadal and Federer could meet six more times this year (Toronto, Cincy, New York, Madrid, Paris and Shanghai). The first three possible meetings will be on outdoor hardcourt and the later three will be indoors. They're pretty even on outdoor hardcourt with Nadal having a 2-1 record against Federer. These two have never played against each other indoors. I think you would have to give Roger the edge because indoor courts are faster than most other surfaces. If Roger can win all six matchups, then he will have 8-6 record against Rafa and I think Nadal fans would have to shut up about whose better.

A reader posted a comment to the effect that my post on Jonathan Edward's Resolutions for Life was invalid RSS because of an endash character in "peac_able" (inadvertently copied, and now removed). I'm not a 3-star RSS maven, but i wonder if this is true, and if so, why? If i look at the XML feed itself, clearly there's a character outside the 7-bit ASCII range. But the RSS feed produced by Radio Userland doesn't include an encoding attribute (maybe it should?), and if i drop the whole thing into XML Spy, my XML tool of choice and usually quite fastidious, it has no complaints. Do some RSS readers adhere to stricter standards than what Userland produces?
If somebody can shed some additional light on this, please drop me a line or post a comment to explain.

An article by MSNBC describes how
"the behaviors that characterize teens' use of technology—socializing, multitasking, going mobile, making a personal statement—are increasingly influencing what is being developed in industries ranging from telecoms to electronics to software"
So Microsoft has hired anthropologists (!) to try to convert these "disruptive technology" trends into new products. But here's that part that seems significant to me: "... kids are having perhaps the most important and far-reaching impact in the area of collaborative computing..." I wonder how these trends will be manifested in the religious lives of future teens? Virtual Bible studies and prayer groups?

I've recently discovered and acquired a wonderful tool for understanding the semantic content of Scripture, Louw and Nida's Greek-English Lexicon Based on Semantic Domains. What they've done differently from other lexicons is to clearly distinguish and group different meanings for the same term.
In addition, they've indexed them according to an semantic classification scheme (what we'd call an ontology today). There are 93 semantic domains, each with subdomains, and terms are classified into them. For example, domain 28 is "Know", and includes these subdomains:
- Know
- Known (the content of knowledge)
- Well Known, Clearly Shown, Revealed
- Able To Be Known
- Not Able To Be Known, Secret
The first subdomain (Know) has 16 different entries that express this concept, and it includes words from different parts of speech (verbs, nouns, adjectives) as well as different usages of the same term (for example, use of the Greek middle form has semantic consequences for many verbs). So it allows you to find the words whose meanings are related to one of interest.
Attempts to classify and organize terms and knowledge have a long history: Princeton's WordNet project has achieved some real success and practical value, as opposed to Japan's Electronic Dictionary Research project in the 90s which seems to have been a colossal and expensive failure in the grand tradition of AI Done Large. As i've pointed out before, however, the New Testament has a tremendous advantage as a technical field for such studies: while it's broad enough to provide a real challenge, it's a fixed corpus whose entire vocabulary size is something over 5000 terms.
Nida is one of the pioneers in the application of linguistics and lexicography to Bible translation, as attested by this 50-year history of publications. I would love to expand the NT Hyper-Concordance to include this kind of information as a navigational feature.
By the way, if you purchase this, make sure you get both volumes. The second volume contains all the indexes for the first, and one isn't useful without the other.

QB ATL (5) 5 years ago
Pro Football Weekly "hears" that Matt Schaub may have played with an undisclosed injury in 2012.
Schaub didn't even appear on the injury report last season, but it's at least one possible explanation for his epic collapse down the stretch, as he threw for just four touchdowns over his final six games and was noticeably ineffective in the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots. Schaub is due $7.25 million next season and will be back under center with the Texans. None of his base salaries are guaranteed beyond 2013.

The movie is a slice of life flick that centered on a twenty-five year old gal Jude Farnie, a gal that has become a professional student at the local college in order to keep her options open and avoid having to choose a path to take in life. The movie took place in the real life hometown of Ms. English, Beaumont, Texas, an admittedly small town that is located near Houston, a world mecca by comparison. She has kept her boyfriend on the hook for years and while he wants to settle down, she's not sure, plotting to leave town with a like-minded friend, Riley Jefferson (played by her real life friend, Chad Safar). The two plan to leave town and never look back, following their dreams to make movies in southern California. Riley runs the local movie house and has big dreams but little drive and Jude has lesser dreams but even less drive to get out of her rut and move along with her life.
The movie is semi-autobiographical as written by Ms. English, who obviously knows what she's writing about. The story dealt with all the usual twists life throws people and the theme was easily discerned from the myriad of quips the cast tossed out as the movie progressed. The movie was at its best when English and Safar interacted with one another (which makes sense) but bogged down towards the end or when the other characters argued with Jude. I got the feeling that Ms. English felt less comfortable writing the fighting scenes but had a lot of experience with living them. That's one of the problems with acting in your own story and making it all happen; sometimes you get a bit too close to the material.
Overall though, the themes were handled quite well and showed enough spark to make me want to see more from Wendy and Safar (who bore a striking resemblance to Jack Black). The limitations of the budget were more problematic than the writing or acting problems (outside of the leads, the quality fell off rather quickly in most ways) but even so, I liked the movie enough to rate this one as Recommended if you enjoy this type of release. I've seen enough mainstream movies about following your dreams to know when I see one with a bit of newness to it. Searching For Wooden Watermelons has enough unique material to warrant checking out, give it a look.
Picture: The picture was presented in 1.78:1 ratio widescreen color as originally shot on 16 mm. There was a lot of grain and some video noise with all the flaws a low budget film has but it added a "look" that made it seem all the more realistic. The movie will never be known for its technical expertise but I'm willing to bet the budget was less than the amount of the catering bill on a decent sized Hollywood release.
Sound: The audio was presented in 5.1 stereo English but I didn't notice a lot of dynamic range on the vocals and the separation appeared to be minimal with most of the vocals coming from my center speaker. From the behind the scenes feature, it looked like it was originally shot in stereo but later processed to the 5.1 set up for marketing purpose. It wasn't top of the line but the vocals were clear enough and the music was pretty solid for such a release.
Extras: Extras are not generally very plentiful on smaller independent movies but Searching For Wooden Watermelons actually had some decent ones. My favorite was the audio commentary that starred Wendy English and Bryan Goldsworthy. They talked about the movie as well as their attempts to get it made, often proving that they pushed beyond their personal limitations to do the impossible. The Behind the Scenes feature, The Making of…, was also quite good and showed the insecurities that smaller filmmakers suffer with. There was also a section of deleted scenes, a photogallery, and a trailer to the movie as well as a double sided DVD cover. While not exactly enough to set the world afire, this was a good selection of extras for this type of release and I enjoyed them as much as the movie itself.
Final Thoughts: Small town life is certainly not for everyone and Wendy English figured this out in time to break free of her roots. Had she stayed in the rut that her life had originally dealt her, she'd be barefoot and pregnant with several rug rats running underfoot rather than making movies as good as this one. The theme of gaining enough courage to do what you want to do out of life was a bit obvious but the overall movie was better than I had a right to expect. Check it out if you enjoy such small budget films.

Family and friends of the six Fort Lewis-based Stryker soldiers who died in the mess-hall bombing in Mosul, Iraq, last week gathered here yesterday not just to honor the fallen...
FORT LEWIS — Family and friends of the six Fort Lewis-based Stryker soldiers who died in the mess-hall bombing in Mosul, Iraq, last week gathered here yesterday not just to honor the fallen, but "to nurture those who are yet alive," an Army chaplain said.
"Our lives today are better because we have lived among them," the chaplain, Col. Clarke McGriff, told hundreds of friends, families and fellow soldiers who packed the Soldiers Field House.
His sentiments were echoed by the soldiers' commanding officers and friends, who shared how their lives had been touched by each of the soldiers.

One by one, they took turns to speak at the podium, which was flanked by each soldier's combat boots, rifle and helmet. Those honored were:
Pfc. Lionel Ayro, 22, Jeanerette, La.
Spc. Jonathan Castro, 21, Corona, Calif.
Capt. William Jacobsen Jr., 31, Charlotte, N.C.
Staff Sgt. Darren VanKomen, 33, Bluefield, W. Va.
Staff Sgt. Robert S. Johnson, 23, Castro Valley, Calif.
Staff Sgt. Julian Melo, 47, Brooklyn, N.Y.
They were remembered as devoted soldiers and selfless friends, family men who, in some cases, put aside more lucrative careers to answer the call to service.
Johnson was one such man, said his cousin, Spc. Michael Peacock. He said Johnson could have joined the family business but instead signed up with the Army after graduating from high school because he wanted to make his mark on the world.
"Robert could make the best out of any situation," Peacock said.
VanKomen was remembered as a consummate professional who cared for others.
"This was a man who took care of men, a friend that took care of friends, a soldier that took care of soldiers," said Capt. Vincent Maykovich. In heaven, "if they have a supply room he is running it now, and God is in good hands," he said.
Melo was remembered not just as an organizational genius, but as a boyish, fun-loving man often teased by colleagues about his immaculate appearance.
"He was a good man," 1st Sgt. Charles Stanley said. "It's important to remember his life was not lost in vain. What he did mattered."
In his remarks about Jacobsen, Capt. David Barbuto gave one of the most emotional speeches, praising his fallen comrade as a hero, a man who always did what was right.
"I would gladly trade places with Bill and have him speaking about me," Barbuto said through tears. "He is the standard by which I will always judge my own success."
As the service drew to a close, the strains of taps sounded an air of finality. But for many relatives and friends of the six men, their deaths still haven't set in.
"It feels almost unreal," said Tracy Johnson, 27, a close friend of Castro's and an acquaintance of Ayro's. "It's like there's not closure yet."
When she first heard about the attack, she feared for the safety of her husband, Sgt. Travis Johnson, who is stationed in Mosul. She was relieved to find he wasn't injured in the blast, but she worried about the identities of those who died.
"I knew deep down inside that it was somebody close to us."

HARTLEPOOL United fans have lived up to their fancy dress reputations by turning up for their last away game of the season wearing Thunderbirds costumes.
Images of the Poolie Thunderbirds on their way to Plymouth have taken social media by storm, they were earlier trending worldwide on Twitter, with Sky Sports presenter and Pools fan Jeff Stelling getting in on the act.
Loading article content
He tweeted: "No need for International Rescue this year but great to see #PoolieThunderbirds out in force. Puts a smile on footballs face. Brilliant."
Pools manager Colin Cooper said: "The fans were amazing – I've been looking forward to it since I took over to be honest!"
In recent years, the fans have grabbed attention for their costumes for the final away game.
Last year the fans went to the capital dressed as penguins.
And the year before an image of scores of Hartlepool smurfs, taken by Northern Echo sports editor Nick Loughlin, on the tube in London went around the world. Twelve months previous they were kitted out as Ooomap Loompahs, the year earlier Where's Wally and the season before they turned out as Morris Dancers.
After seeing off Morecambe last weekend and no longer needing victory today to safeguard their League Two status, they are no longer in need of International Rescue.
Cooper said: "Having seen from afar the Smurfs and penguins… when I heard International Rescue, I was really laughing. It made me giggle. Even John Sheridan (Plymouth boss) said they were amazing.
"To come all this way, I think it's a 775 mile round-trip, and enjoy themselves, I hope they are happy. I was delighted with the way they supported us and I hope they are happy with the way we played as well.
"It was trending on Twitter this morning and it was a sight to behold. I'm so pleased with what has gone on and they can go home happy with a positive result.''

Kildare boss Cian O'Neill believes Division 3 is so competitive that all the games will have a "championship intensity".
The Lilywhites won their first competitive outing under O'Neill against Westmeath on Sunday, in a meeting of two sides that were playing in Division 1 just two seasons ago.
Though the two Leinster sides are favourites to win promotion back to the second tier, O'Neill is expecting that Kildare will have to fight all the way to go back up at the first time of asking.
"I think every match is going to be a really tough battle," he told RTÉ Radio 1's Sunday Sport.
"People will say we are favourites, I'm sure we are in the bookies' eyes, but when you look at the rest of the teams playing alongside us, every match is going to be like that, because no-one wants to be in Division 3,"
"They will see an opportunity, it's quite a level playing field if you look at the teams and their performances in the last year or two.
"Every match has a championship intensity to it."
Westmeath boss Tom Cribbin was happy with his side's efforts despite a 2-09 to 0-11 defeat in Mullingar.
"I wouldn't be disappointed. The two goals (by Daniel Flynn and Cian O'Donoghue) were just exceptional bits of play by players. We rushed in and they got away and carried it the length of the pitch.
"We played against a strong breeze in the second half and it was three points all so we showed a lot of character.
"We had a few goal chances so it could have gone the other way either.
"We tried really hard. They got the goals when it counted and we've another day out next week."

3. Neighbors of New Tenants.You've heard about "keeping up with the Joneses," right? Nobody wants to admit it, but if your neighbor gets a new car, big-screen TV or other home improvement, most of us will want something equal or better.
We've found the same to be true of storage. If everybody in a neighborhood has cluttered garages, yards and homes, we don't feel as pressured to keep our homes clean and organized. As soon as one of our neighbors cleans up and makes his home look the best on the block, two or three will almost certainly follow suit very soon. I've lived in six cities in my life and watched this phenomenon transform several neighborhoods.
Human behavior is highly influenced by friends and neighbors. This has been true since the beginning of time and will probably continue forever. Use this to your advantage by marketing to the closest 25 to 50 of your new tenants' neighbors. The list accuracy and letter you send are crucial. Regardless, this strategy is very inexpensive and highly effective once you get going.
While we've only covered a few starving groups here, dozens more exist in every market. Take an hour or two every week and ponder this principle. You'll begin to notice starving crowds all over the place and capitalize on this potential feeding frenzy.

Denon's headphones have been covered with great reviews here at Appletell, and they look to be getting off to a great start in 2013 with the announcement of six new headphones across two of the company's high performance lines. The reference-quality Music Maniac line and bass-enhancing Urban Ravers offer something for audiophiles and groove artists alike, and options include both on-ear and in-ear styles to suit your tastes and music needs. Both lines also feature accompanying apps that can help you get the most out of your music and your headphones.
She's a maniac
Denon's Music Maniacs are designed for the those who want a studio-quality listening experience. These cans are tuned to reproduce sound as recorded (using a flat equalizer rather than enhancing bass or emphasizing treble), so you hear the music without any artificiality—a very important feature for audiophiles. The on-ear model, the AH-D340, features some crazy geometry in the form of 2-axis ear cups that articulate 360º for a perfect fit, as well as pentagonal memory foam ear cups (because four sides are so last year).
Inside those ear cups are 40 mm drivers to deliver plenty of sound; those big drivers come with a big price tag, as the suggested price for the D340 is $300.
If you prefer in-ear listening, the Music Maniac series now includes the AH-C250, which deliver the same high performance sound in a smaller form factor. Customizing the fit is a breeze, with your choice of single or double silicone flanges ranging from extra small to large. Both the D340 and C250 include inline remotes and microphones for music playback and phone call control, and are accompanied by the Denon Audio app, which provides highly customizable EQ settings and TuneIn radio access.
The C250 are priced at $250.
Stark Raving
If driving bass is more your style than curmudgeonly reference cans, the new additions to the Urban Raver line offer up plenty of bass to help enhance your techno, electronic, or dance beats. There are four additions to the Raver line that let you more easily blend your headphones into your overall look—two actual models that come in two color choices. The on-ear models are the AH-D320BU and D320RD, which are blue and red versions of the same model, respectively.
The D320 features a sculpted, angular design and color accents that keep these cans from blending into the background, while still featuring the company's 2-axis articulating earcup design. This allows the headphones to adjust to fit you perfectly, while specially tuned 40mm drivers pump additional bass to enhance your music collection. Both D320 models are priced at $200, and feature a control wheel on the right ear cup that lets you dial the volume up or down, as well as control music playback and answer calls (the mic is located on one of the ear cups).
For the in-ear crowd, the new models are the AH-C100RD and C100BU (again red and blue), and they both feature 11mm drivers specifically tuned to deliver enhanced bass. Fit options for these in-ear headphones include single flange silicone ear tips in small, medium, or large, as well as Denon's memory foam called Comply. The C100s feature a conventional in-line remote control and microphone for controlling playback and taking calls.
Both the C100s and the D320s are complimented by the Denon Club app, which provides access to the Urban Raver Community for sharing music, customizing EQ settings, and accessing TuneIn's streaming radio.
The C100 are priced at $100.

Modernity, Church, Tribe
It is modernity which is the heretical aberration, not tribalism. The Nation is coming back wherever you look. The secular State, suffering no other gods before it, must attempt to stamp out this instinct wherever it appears.
Anglo-Americans who join the Orthodox faith save their souls and lose their families and neighbors. It takes generations of extended family and community, baptized, married and buried in the Faith, to build a Local Church. I do not think America will ever have an autocephalous Local Church (notwithstanding the OCA's press releases) because America is not a real nation. Our Patriarchs may in fact be taking the long view: let's see what shakes out when the American federal state devolves into its constituent nations, then we'll see what the Church is over there.
We Anglo-Americans actually had our American Church, the Episcopal Church, formerly the Anglican Church, the Church of the English. Schismatic, un-orthodox in crucial areas, competing with every other Protestant sect, but it recited the Creed and it was "our" Church. Then it left us. A number of us became Orthodox, because we saw the issues with a Latin Church that thinks she rules the whole planet. Interestingly, the Roman Church is strongest where she actually behaves like a Local Church: Croatia, Poland, Ireland, Italy, even France (NB: Rome no longer elects French Popes).
I am in the Antiochian Archdiocese, the only member of my family in the Church. What a terrible paucity of experience not to be in communion with your own blood and kin. Let me repeat that: not to be in communion with your own blood and kin. In the old countries, they picnic in cemeteries.
All we can do is pray and hope time solves the issue for our descendants. But there are so terribly few of us.

Anti-Gnostic, what is you thoughts on the gay Church of England clergyman who broke Church laws by marrying an atheist?

Good stuff here, Anit-Gnostic.
My son is the only member of my family with whom I am in communion. Neither my wife, nor my daughter, nor any of my extended family are Orthodox.
I know the pain of having my Paschal joy tarnished because my wife and daughter don't share it with me.

Great post...after several years of being Orthodox, I am really starting to feel this way...I love being Orthodox and still believe it is the True faith, but now that the newness is worn off, I am feeling a bit more lonely about it and feel that the Church here is simply too "new' and also competing with so much secularism, that I feel my family will be piecemealing our community together for the rest of our lives. What's also hard sometimes is that as a Protestant convert, the level of pastoral care I received as a high schooler and even in my college small group/bible study still seems superior to one Priest who spreads himself across the whole parish. While the one Priest may have more wisdom shared in 10 seconds than my high school group leader, I miss the general pastoral care available.

Thanks for stopping by Irene. Please have a look thru the 'Orthodoxy' posts by clicking thru the word cloud at the bottom. If after reading you immediately close IE, delete all your temp files and cookies and resolve never to come here again, I won't be offended.

Just about every time I see an absolutely crazy Asian movie, I think, "There's no way Asia can make a movie any crazier." And then someone does. In this case, it's "Dororo," based upon a manga and the first installment of a planned trilogy.
Even with English subtitles, "Dororo" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Part of that may be on purpose, part of that may be because it entails a gender-confused hero seeking his/her body parts from various demons. Got that? No? Good.
This, after all, is not a movie whose plot is to be dissected, but whose outrageousness is to be celebrated. It's a rental to accompany a night of ramen noodles and several cold beers. How else to take in the talking rats and giant ghost babies and big worms with man faces and flying winged creatures?
Wire fu and sword fu are in plentiful supply, as if there was a surplus at the studio and such items were marked for clearance. Your eyes will be entertained, even when your brain is not. Sit it with inebriated friends, but don't be surprised if they start to wear out before it's over; there's no reason something this brazenly mindless should run for nearly two and a half hours. Escapist should not be confused with epic.

Hello guys, I've been thinking lately. I want Virtual Magic Kingdom back. I'm not sure if any of you do or not. I think we can save VMK, I really truley do. You may be over the Kingdom by now, you may think you are too "cool" or to old. Well, if you are too "cool" to play VMK, are you too cool to go to the Disney Parks? Virtual Magic Kingdom was a wonderful thing, it doesn't matter if you disagree, it was. Without VMK, you wouldn't have met most of your online friends. VMK was a safe enviroment where you could talk to others in a safe enviroment. I've never seen a game so safe in my life. It was a place you could go to Disney for free at your home. I really want to make VMK come back, more than anything. It meant so much to me and to see everyone just give up trying to save it breaks my heart. VMK wasn't a game or a promotion in my eyes, it was a home.
Now, I think we should all come together and try to save it. We've tried making remakes of it, that doesn't work. It's proabably easier to get VMK back from Disney than try to make your own exact VMK remake. I'm sure some of you are going to say, "just get over it." No. I'm not going to get over it, why can't you just understand it meant alot to me. Why can't you just help us save it? The more people we get the better chance we have at making it return. This isn't going to work without everyones help. So please, help me save VMK.

You only ever hear a nice thing about a teenager from a charity worker. Otherwise, parents, teachers, the police, the criminal justice system, all are united, just for this instance: adolescents are awful. This has permeated my consciousness so fully that when a teenage stranger does something nice, my worldview is so disturbed, and it takes me so much extra bigotry to get everything back on its axis, that the day would have been easier if it hadn't happened.
I read once that the pubescent growth spurt took so much raw energy that the individual's brain effectively shuts down, leaving only the reptilian section - responsible for eating, breathing, but also the base emotions of anger, lust, rage, paranoia and anxiety. It explains a lot about why everyone is so wary of them, but if they really have nothing more than a beast's functionality, is school the best place? Wouldn't they be better off in some kind of secure unit?
And yet, we can't escape the fact that we all lived through this period and it didn't strike me that everything was my fault. This week's research about embarrassment cuts straight to the heart of this. According to Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, in a study for the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, adolescents use their medial prefrontal cortex even when considering situations that might cause them embarrassment; adults do not. Other emotions, not connected to the opinions of other people, are experienced in the same neural area by both teenagers and adults. So adolescents probably experience shame differently and more deeply, which is why they find their parents so appalling on so many levels.
Now that it's all neurological, there's no right and wrong. Who's to say which is the truer experience of embarrassment, between the fervour of adolescence and the relative nonchalance of adults? Do our brains mature, or just deteriorate? Impartiality is impossible: you just have to decide whose side you're on, between inner teen and outer adult. Instinctively, I would side with the adults, but then I think of my mother dancing to All Around My Hat and I still worry that my insides will liquefy.
Blakemore, questioned about the purpose of the study, said that adolescence was a key time in emotional development and, by extension, the development of mental illness. Overwhelmingly, the onset of depression and anxiety disorders, not to mention anorexia and similar will occur in this window.
The more we understand, the better. True, but I wonder about the underlying assumptions, whenever we detect a difference in the teenage psychological profile. Because many adolescent traits are antisocial - specifically volatility and aggression - the assumption is that the immature mind is always disharmonious, where the mature mind always works towards community, or, at the very least, is more civic-minded than it was when it was 14.
But embarrassment, surely, has a social imperative. In so many respects, and most of all in the business of getting laid, it pays to be disinhibited. So if shame didn't have some rolling benefit, we surely would have collectively bred it out, like gills and webbed toes?
I have always associated embarrassment with deficiency, an underpowered engine of self: "what will people think?" is a very small-town mantra, and runs counter to the values of individualism that broadly characterise the culture. But individualism and isolation are a hair's breadth apart; unshackle yourself entirely from shame, and sooner or later everyone is living alone, emerging only to be naked and whistle. Maybe adolescents only went into embarrassment overdrive because the rest of us weren't taking it seriously enough. Maybe we're the feckless ones, and they're the ones trying to hold it together. Maybe they're not reptiles after all.

The Impact of Demographics on Housing and Non-Housing Wealth in the United States
Equity in housing is a major component of household wealth in the United States. Steady gains in housing prices over the last several decades have generated large potential gains in household wealth among homeowners. Mankiw and Weil (1989) and McFadden (1993b) have argued that the aging of the US population is likely to induce substantial declines in housing prices, resulting in capital losses for future elderly generations. However, if households can anticipate changes in housing prices, and if they adjust their non-housing savings accordingly, then welfare losses in retirement could be mitigated. This paper focuses on two questions: (1) Are housing prices forecastable from current information on demographics and housing prices?; and (2) How are household savings decisions affected by capital gains in housing? We use metropolitan statistical area (MSA) level data on housing prices and demographic trends during the 1980's and find mixed evidence on the forecastability of housing prices. Further, we use data on five-year savings rates from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and find no evidence that households engage in changing their non-housing savings in response to expectations about capital gains in housing. Thus, the projected decline in housing prices could result in large welfare losses to current homeowners and large intergenerational equity differences.

SLALOM: A Language for SLA Specification and Monitoring
IT services provisioning is usually underpinned by Service Level Agreements (SLAs), aimed at guaranteeing services quality. However, there is a gap between the customer perspective (business oriented) and that of the service provider (implementation oriented) that becomes more evident while defining and monitoring SLAs. This paper proposes a domain specific language (SLA Language for specificatiOn and Monitoring - SLALOM) to bridge the previous gap. The first step in SLALOM creation was factoring out common concepts, by composing the BPMN metamodel with that of the SLA life cycle, as described in ITIL. The derived metamodel expresses the SLALOM abstract syntax model. The second step was to write concrete syntaxes targeting different aims, such as SLA representation in process models.

Part of the new ten-year lease the Bills signed for Ralph Wilson Stadium last December included an agreement that the organization would form a committee to discuss a new stadium after the lease's end. Officials are apparently considering the Bethlehem Steel site in Lackawanna, the Outer Harbor, downtown Buffalo and even Niagara Falls.

Review for His Kids Too Inc, Tallahassee, FL, USA
Teresa Fillmon, her family and volunteers of His Kids Too are unbelievably dedicated to helping the orphans, widows and anyone else in need. They minister to them, feed them, clothe them and just be a friend. They are there to let the people of Ukraine know that someone cares about them and that Jesus loves them! I love Teresa, her family and His Kids Too, for all they do.
Review for His Kids Too Inc, Tallahassee, FL, USA
My family recently met Teresa Fillmon, director of Hiskidstoo, after learning that they deliver humanitarian aid to the same shelter that my 2 sons had lived in before we adopted them. Teresa is an amazing woman who has devoted many years of her life to helping the orphans and widows in Ukraine. She currently works with 27 orphanages, delivering aid, speaking to prospective adoptive and foster parents, collecting donations and countless other projects to help in the survival of the families and children in Ukraine. They recently opened a community center for the children in the town of Dzerzinsk to have a place to go to have fun and learn about God. She, her family and many volunteers work tirelessly in their efforts. She works hard at keeping up the www.hiskidstoo.org web site so that people can actually see that all of their time, energy and donations are being delivered and appreciated!! Seeing is believing and I encourage everyone to go to the site, see the pictures, watch the videos and fall in love with these amazing children!

Legal Question in Business Law in California
My past employer never signed my contract, but I did. The end of the contract states that employee and employer sign here, dated on ____. Does this make the contract null and void?
4 Answers from Attorneys
Probably not, as long as the employer agreed to the terms of the contract and you actually worked for them pursuant to that agreement. But I would need to know what the contract says and get some additional facts before I could offer any firm guidance.
I don't believe the contract is "null and void." Instead, I'd say the employer and employee were in contract with each other. The only possible issue or doubt might be as to the nature of this contract.
First, a contract is formed by one party making an offer and the other party accepting it.
When two parties draw up a contract, failure of one or both of the parties to execute the contract by affixing a signature doesn't necessarily mean there is no contract. Acceptance of the terms of the contract can be shown by the parties performing the terms of the contract after it is drawn up but left unsigned, as well as by signatures. Acceptance by performance isn't always a permissible means of accepting an offer to enter into a contract, but often is, unless the offer limited the means by which it could be accepted.
Next, even if the written but partially unsigned contract were found by a court not to be in effect, the court would probably find an unwritten contract, or would impose a "quasi contract" upon them. Since there are two kinds of unwritten contracts (oral contracts and implied-in-fact contracts), there are altogether three possibilities for imposing contractual-type obligations on the parties - oral, implied-in-fact, and quasi-contract. (The last of these is also called an implied-in-law contract.)
So, the written but unsigned agreement is not "null and void" in the sense that it is legally meaningless and can be ignored. It may be found by a court to be a validly-accepted offer, and therefore an enforceable contract in its own right, since it was accepted by performance. Or, the writing may only be evidence supporting the existence of one of the other three kinds of contract (or quasi-contract).
Bottom line -- don't rely on the lack of a signature to mean you can ignore this document!
It would only be invalid to the extent that some provision of the statute of frauds required the contract to be in writing and signed by the party to be bound. If you are the party to be bound, it is legitimate as applied to you, because you signed it. I also agree with the other attorneys, because it sounds as though there was performance on both ends, which would take it out of the statute of frauds with an estoppel argument.
Unless you are trying to enforce some term of the supposed contract, it doesn't matter. You said nothing about what your problem is or what you need to do. If you are trying to enforce something against the employer, then various proofs and problems will have to be dealt with.
If serious about getting legal help, feel free to contact me.

Picture: David E Kelley and Michelle Pfeiffer Michelle Pfeiffer receives the 2,345th Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hollywood, California - 06.08.07
Producer David E Kelley is starting to rebuild the cast of his troubled show THE PRACTICE - by replacing Dylan McDermott with James Spader.
In addition, Sweet Home Alabama actress Rhona Mitra has been approached about joining the series, though a deal has yet to be settled.
Shockwaves were sent around Hollywood last month (MAY03) when Kelley axed most of the show's stars, including series lead McDermott and Lara Flynn Boyle, reportedly to cut costs.
Kelley says of his new castmember, "It is a writers dream to work with an actor as multi-faceted and layered as James Spader is. I've been a fan of his for some time and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity for us to work together."13/06/2003 02:20

Mite institutions have 1 scaped serious calamity
during the ve.ir. A slight lire occurred at Ihe Re

which I hope will be made.
The re-organization of the Board of Trustees of
the Airriciiliural and Mechanic il College has been
pioductive ol good results. The old Board was
too unwieldy tor succes-lnl management, while
the diminished size or the new hoard has enabled
it to harmonize ideas and views, and work with a
singleness of purpose that has been bcuetleial to
the College. 1 invite you lo consider Ihe lact that

It has an efficient faculty, a magiiiUcent endow

Ocean spill measures die
HONOLULU — A massive molasses spill in Honolulu Harbor last fall led Hawaii lawmakers to introduce legislation designed to prevent a repeat performance.
But the proposals they crafted failed to survive the 2014 legislative session.
Three bills were introduced in the Hawaii House and another two were proposed in the Senate. But all of those measures died in the Senate at various stages, according to the Legislature's website.
The spill in September killed more than 26,000 fish and other marine life, when about 1,400 tons of molasses dumped into the harbor. It had oozed from a section of pipe that was thought to be sealed off.
One bill (HB 2621) aimed to make government agencies and contractors report issues quickly by creating a maximum time limit for alerting authorities to problems.
It also would have required government agencies and contractors to cooperate in investigations. It passed the House but it never got a committee hearing in the Senate.
Another bill (HB 2622) proposed to take money collected from fines imposed on those that violate marine life conservation rules. That money would then be spent on shoring up conservation efforts and protecting the health of coral reefs.
It also passed the House, but didn't get a hearing in the Senate. A companion bill (SB 3017) in the Senate never made it to committee.
The proposal that made it the farthest (HB 2620) would have required the University of Hawaii to update a report laying out the state's emergency response to spills.
The university had done such a report in 1996, but it has not been updated, lawmakers said. That bill passed both chambers but they couldn't agree on amendments, so the proposal died in a conference committee right before a deadline. Its companion bill (SB 3016) also stalled in the Senate.
Rep. Chris Lee of Kailua and Sen. Mike Gabbard of Kapolei, who introduced the bills, did not immediately return phone calls for comment.

Dear Sue,
You can order the book, A Constant People (about the history of the Catholic faith in the Bishop Thornton area) directly from the church. My original email, which is still attached to this one, gives the postal address. The cost is 6 pounds, but I don't know what the postage would be. You could ring the presbytery and ask Father Waldron what the price is for postal orders.
I know quite a lot about your Chapman family and will contact you off list.

Maggie: "While she takes care of the men with the guns, why don't you sit down and I'll make you a nice, hot cup of tea?"
Pan Am stewardesses: prepared for anything!
No. The "mark of an artist" is being GREAT as well as original. I can be original, but it would be horrid. As was Grunting Casey.
So now AI doesn't care about a Pop star?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! GMAB! They want a doofus "Jazz" performer (it's not like Casey sang well, Jazz or no Jazz)?
This show is ridiculous.
the praise for casey completely confounds me.
that performance just wasn't any good, and the song choice was worse. standing ovation? GMAFB. i also hope he puts away the double bass if he returns next week.
oh, GOD, and now he's EMOTIONAL again. GM ANOTHER FB!!
Oh good grief ... Casey backstage after his performance. That was too much. Get over yourself.
I still like Casey, but that was the wrong song choice for this audience. And quit growling!
I love Haley's dress!
It was me. I let the dogs out.
Woohoo! They just showed a Mary Murphy commercial for the next season of SYTYCD! I'm not sure what I'm more excited about...Mary or SYTYCD coming back.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
Haley - blergh. I just don't get her. All she does is growls and mumbles and yet she's still here.

Kim Kardashian is keeping it casual now that she's in the final weeks of her pregnancy. The 32-year-old reality star dressed her baby bump in all black and wore flip-flops while filming a scene for Keeping Up With the Kardashians at The Vitamin Barn in Malibu on Tuesday, June 11. Wearing virtually no makeup, the radiant mom-to-be was joined by step-brother Brandon Jenner and step-sister-in-law Leah Felder.
Earlier that day, Kardashian told her Twitter followers that she "tried yoga" and found it "very relaxing." The expectant star added, "I was into it! Think I will try it again!"
Kardashian has remained active throughout her pregnancy, according to her L.A.- and New York-based trainer Tracy Anderson. "Kim is working hard but listening to her body," the fitness expert told Us Weekly in its May 20 issue. "We focus mostly on her arms and legs, training one hour four times a week, depending on how she feels."
A source added that Kanye West's baby mama sticks to a light resistance program to avoid putting on more bulk: "She's not doing as much cardio and she's constantly changing the workout so that the variety keeps her toned all over."
Though her new figure has been ridiculed online and in the press, Kardashian's 35-year-old rapper beau has helped her tune out the negativity. "Kanye showers her with love and reassurance, constantly telling her how beautiful she is," a family insider told Us. "He's the only one in the world who can make Kim feel that special."

Ice Fall: Night Ice
In January 2013 a team of ice climbers ascended Norway's frost giants under dark skies
November 12th, 2013 by Gripped Magazine | Posted in News, Video
The Frost Giants of Norse mythology were huge, cold and practically indomitable. At night they taught the people of the North to fear, only to freeze again the next day. In January 2013, extreme sports photographer Thomas Senf headed off for Norway with a team of ice climbers. The plan was to set the professional athletes against the nocturnal backdrop of the legendary world of the Frost Giants using flares and spotlights. The project produced unique photos, the likes of which the world has never seen before.
