About Gluttony
For other uses, see Gluttony (disambiguation). Gluttony, derived from the Latin gluttire meaning to gulp down or swallow, means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items to the point of extravagance or waste. In some Christian denominations, it is considered one of the seven deadly sins--a misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy. Contents 1 Gluttony in Judaism, 2 Gluttony in Christianity, 3 See also, 4 References, Gluttony in Judaism: According to the list of 613 commandments that Jews must keep according to the Rambam, gluttony or excessive eating or drinking is prohibited. It is listed as #169. Not to eat or drink like a glutton or a drunkard (not to rebel against father or mother) (Lev. 19:26; Deut. 21:20) (CCN106). Gluttony in Christianity: Church leaders from the deeply ascetic Middle Ages (e.g. Pope Gregory I, Thomas Aquinas) took a more expansive view of gluttony, arguing that it also consists of an anticipation of meals, the eating of delicacies, and costly foods, seeking after sauces and seasonings, and eating too eagerly. Pope Gregory I, a doctor of the Church, described four ways by which one can commit sin of gluttony, and corresponding biblical examples for each of them: 1. Eating before the time of meals in order to satisfy the palate. Biblical example: Jonathan eating a little honey, when his father Saul commanded no food to be taken before the evening. 2. Seeking delicacies and better quality of food to gratify the "vile sense of taste." Biblical example: When Israelites escaping from Egypt complained, "Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons, and the leeks and the onions and the garlic," God rained fowls for them to eat but punished them 500 years later. 3. Seeking to stimulate the palate with sauces and seasonings. Biblical example: Two sons of Eli the high priest made the sacrificial meat to be cooked in one manner rather than another. They were met with death. 4. Exceeding the necessary quantity of food. Biblical example: One of the sins of Sodom was "fullness of bread." 5. Taking food with too much eagerness, even when eating the proper amount, and even if the food is not luxurious. Biblical example: Esau selling his birthright for ordinary food of bread and pottage of lentils. His punishment was that the "profane person . . . who, for a morsel of meat sold his birthright," we learn that "he found no place for repentance, though he sought it carefully, with tears." The fifth way is worse than all others, said St. Gregory, because it shows attachment to pleasure most clearly. To recapitulate, St Gregory the Great said that one may succumb to the sin of gluttony by: 1. Time (when); 2. Quality; 3. Stimulants; 4. Quantity; 5. Eagerness In his Summa Theologica (Part 2-2, Question 148, Article 4), St. Thomas Aquinas reiterated the list of five ways to commit gluttony: Laute - eating food that is too luxurious, exotic, or costly, Nimis - eating food that is excessive in quantity, Studiose - eating food that is too daintily or elaborately prepared, Praepropere - eating too soon, or at an inappropriate time, Ardenter - eating too eagerly., Aquinas notes that the first three ways are related to the nature of the food itself, while the last two have to do with the time or manner in which it is consumed St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote the following when explaining gluttony: "Pope Innocent XI has condemned the proposition which asserts that it is not a sin to eat or to drink from the sole motive of satisfying the palate. However, it is not a fault to feel pleasure in eating: for it is, generally speaking, impossible to eat without experiencing the delight which food naturally produces. But it is a defect to eat, like beasts, through the sole motive of sensual gratification, and without any reasonable object. Hence, the most delicious meats may be eaten without sin, if the motive be good and worthy of a rational creature; and, in taking the coarsest food through attachment to pleasure, there may be a fault." in the Bible (King James Version): Proverbs 23:20-21 "Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.", Proverbs 23:2 "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee. And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.", Luke 7:33-35 "For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children."

-- the war in Iraq officially ended last year but it was back on center stage last night.
Setting up this heated exchange between President Obama and governor Ronnie Ronnie going after the president for withdrawing all the troops.
In 2011.
With regards to Iraq.
You and I agreed I believe that there should have been the status of forces agreement digit -- didn't you don't want -- status of well what I what I would not.
Have done is left 101000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down that's certainly would not help us.
In the Middle East I'm sorry you actually there was a there was an effort on the part of the president to have a status of forces period.
And I concurred in that and said that we should have some number of troops stayed on.
That was something I concurred we -- never posture.
That was my posture as well yeah I thought I should have been 5000 troops god punish a bit more troops but you know what.
-- and show us again with a true whatsoever that this is just a few weeks ago that you indicated that we should still have troops in Iraq now I doubt that's our that's why you're either candidate to -- the -- indicated that you.
Failed to put in place a status of forces agreement at the end of the conflict that is just over a year Europe -- Europe want going on -- -- I don't -- here's one thing I've learned -- better -- You've got to be clear.
Both to our allies and our enemies about where you stand.
And what you mean.
And so clear when it came to.
Working for that agreement in Iraq and I'm joined now by Donald Rumsfeld who -- of course the secretary of defense under president George W.
Bush she's the author.
Of the memoir known and unknown secretary -- good morning good to have you with us today.
Good morning what was your overall impression of last night.
We'll leave the key issue just played.
I think was example of the evening.
The president kept interrupting governor Romney governor Romney was exactly correct.
The president of the United States said he wanted to status of forces agreement.
We have status of forces agreement all over the world and it they're not complicated they can be achieved.
And in fact he instructed the vice president and the secretary of state to get one and they failed.
And governor Romney was making that point now.
The other thing the president said it was totally inaccurate is that to have had that status of forces agreement and the possibility of some.
It's relatively small number of troops available to be in that country either in it or nearby.
I think would serve as a deterrent to Iran and it would have been beneficial not only to the United States but beneficial to.
To the Iraqi Government as they -- and and developed and it would have been a eight.
Very good signal.
To Iran that we do have capabilities in that part of the world.
As a deterrent so so I was I felt that the president was way off base saying something like that's not true which he set on a number of occasions.
And it was simply flat wrong.
It and have been reports that kite act has doubled in Iraq since that complete pullout.
And have been something like 4000 is is the estimate that I found of casualties in Iraq since we -- You know and there was so much discussion and you could say that this president really won the election based on his promise to pull out of Iraq but how do you think he handled the accent.
And you've touched on this but just one more time in terms of how we handled the -- And what the impact is -- our strength in the Middle East.
Well there's no question but that the ways Hamlet by his failure to have a status of forces agreement.
An understanding with the Iraqi Government.
That we would have a a template as to what we were capable or able to do in that country in the event there were some need to be there.
I think what saved a disastrous failure -- diplomatic failure on the part of the secretary of state and the vice president and the president of the United States.
All right is a former secretary of defense I wanna play this next sound bite for you and get your reaction to that's.
They look at our our decision that.
To cut back on our military capabilities.
A trillion dollars the secretary of defense called these trillion dollars -- cuts -- military.
Stop my turn to the president's own secretary defense called the devastating.
Think about that -- Well he's right I think that governor Romney was corrected to link the fact that if the United States continues to -- trillions of dollars of debt.
What that does is it sends a signal out across the globe.
That we are not responsible that our future's going to be less bright we're gonna be less engaged and we're gonna have to be.
Diminished and withdrawn because we will not have the capabilities to do it.
The idea that we could cut a trillion dollars over the next decade out of -- defense budget.
We have gone from 10% of gross domestic product for defense down to 4% today.
And the idea that the trillions of dollars.
-- that this administration is imposed on future generations is a result of defense spending is simply false it is not the case.
The growth -- in expenditures.
Is are clearly in entitlements there's no question about that and governor Romney was correct.
It what did you think about the moment when to the issue of Russia was brought up and governor -- at one point saying that he felt that Russia.
Was somewhat of a threat.
To to the United States EE you know.
Well that was.
An effort on the part of president to be dismissive of the governor and I mean the fact is the this administration came into office talking about a reset.
-- -- And -- we're gonna have a reset button.
And the effective it has been that on almost every issue.
Russia has opposed the United States in the United Nations with respect to Iran they've opposed this around the world.
And they are behaving in a way that is.
Unfriendly to the United States.
I think that that one of the most important things that -- governor Romney said last night hasn't really even been discussed and again in the in the media.
He said that this.
Problem with the radical Islamist terrorists is not going to be one with bullets -- we can't kill our way out of this problem.
But that we need to have relationships around the world where we get support.
In opposing radical islamists and and he's exactly right we need a strategy and we do not have a strategy.
It is today in this country as to how we're gonna deal -- that problem and as al-Qaeda continues to reconstitute.
And and and an attack.
Our friends and our people around the world as they have I think that the need for a strategy to deal with radical Islam is -- Is is increasingly obvious and the administration has failed terribly with respect.
Secretary Rumsfeld thank you without a lot went after -- -- his stick around from mama thank you sex more with him.

I see comments like the previous and i wonder....did the poster ever read the commentary?
I think the point here was...no single solution is perfect, nor complete but to move to any solution we need to consider all parties, all points of view and be willing to abandon the usual positions we take.
All this dribble about differences between clips, magazines, moving parts...whatever. More and more people are questioning the need for more than "X", many say 10, rounds in anything available to civilians without reloading.
The NRA can spend its time and energy on such detail, but if the public general gets to where its fed up with the status quo, it won't make any difference, the changes will come.
Like a lot of people, the NRA would do better to reflect and make wiser choices than that sham of a press conference in the future and genuinely participate lest they over-run by the mood of the public.
"The NRA can spend its time and energy on such detail, but if the public general gets to where its fed up with the status quo, it won't make any difference, the changes will come."
Not if the changes go against the protections and guarantees of the Constitution. This is why, in my humble opinion, it's time for the Supremes to address this issue of what the 2nd Amendment actually means once and for all; it either means what a great many gun owners think it means or it doesn't. Whadda say we find out?

Molasses Brandy Snap Baskets
I think these are really fun to make, and the crunchy caramel flavour is the perfect partner to any ice cream – particularly Preserved Ginger Ice Cream.
Makes 6
Ingredients |
1 teaspoon brandy |
2 oz (50 g) molasses sugar |
1½ oz (40 g) golden syrup |
2 oz (50 g) butter, plus a little extra for greasing |
1½ oz (40 g) plain flour, sifted |
¾ teaspoon ground ginger |
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C). |

Equipment |
You will also need a baking tray measuring 11 x 16 inches (28 x 40 cm), lined with silicone paper (parchment), and a jam jar with a base diameter of about 2 inches (5 cm), well-buttered. |
This recipe first appeared in How to Cook Book Three
Measuring golden syrup is a sticky business, and the easiest way to deal with it is to first weigh out the sugar and then weigh the golden syrup on top, so it sticks to the sugar and not the scale pan. Next, put the whole lot into a medium-size, heavy-based saucepan, together with the butter, and heat gently for about 5 minutes, or until all the sugar has dissolved, there are no granules left and the mixture is completely smooth. (The way to test this is by looking at some on the back of a spoon.) Then remove the pan from the heat and beat in the flour and ginger, followed by the brandy.
Now place 2 tablespoons of the mixture on to the lined baking tray, allowing space for them to spread as they cook to make two circles roughly 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. Bake on the middle shelf for 7 minutes, keeping a close eye on them for the last 2 minutes' cooking time. When they're ready, remove the tray from the oven and allow the brandy-snap circles to cool for a couple of minutes before lifting one from the tray and moulding it over the upturned, greased jam jar, pressing the edges out to get a frilly basket shape. If they get too cold to mould, don't worry about it - just pop them back in the oven for a minute and then try again. If you're unsure of yourself, have several goes at it - but it is easier than it sounds! As soon as the first basket is ready - it only takes about a minute - place it on a cooling rack and quickly mould the second one. Then repeat the whole process in twos until they're all complete.
The brandy snap baskets can be made several hours in advance and stored in an airtight tin. To serve, place them on a plate and fill with a large scoop of ice cream. If it's the Preserved Ginger Ice Cream, pour a little ginger syrup over and decorate with a few pieces of chopped preserved ginger.

2-C Sunday, Nov. 18, 1973 THE SHREVEPORT TIMES Distribution, Not Lack, Nurse Puzzle By Margaret Martin Times Medical Writer Dr. Peggy Ledbetter says that though there may be a maldistribution of nurses in Louisiana, there is no shortage. Not only that, but she thinks there are too many nursing schools in the state turning out nurses. And she prefaces both remarks with the comment that she knows they are controversial topics. The soft spoken Dr. Ledbetter became dean of the Northwestern State Univer-sity College of Nursing at age 29. More recently she was elected to a two-year term as president of the 2,000- member Louisiana State Nurses As-sociation. State Board Member Dr. Ledbetter has been involved with nursing on a statewide level as president of the State Board of Nurse Examiners, the legally constituted board governing nursing in the state. She resigned as board president when she ran for head of the state association. She is still a board member. In an Interview in the NSU College of Nursing Headquarters, 1800 Warrington Place, Dr. Ledbetter discussed what is ahead for nurses, and problems facing nurses both on the state and national level. She says that the top priority for the state association this year is a statewide nursing plan. Pulling a faded blue book out of a file, Dr. Ledbetter pointed out that the last such survey was made in 1956. The governor has appointed a com-mittee to make such a study. One of the big hassles, she said, is, "Is there a shortage of nurses?" "Some of our critics say that nurses say there is no shortage because we try to find security in scarcity," she said. She thinks such criticism is highly un-professional, especially since it even comes from nurses. She predicts the study will show a maldistribution of members of the nursing profession. Another problem is the sudden proliferation of foreign nurses into the state, although the dean points out that this is also a problem nationwide. The State Board of Nurse Examiners voted last spring to discontinue granting a temporary permit to foreign nurse Dr. Peggy Ledbetter graduates. The action was effective Sept. 1. The Board of "Nurse Examiners' decision to discontinue the issuance of temporary permits is based on the fact that the passing percentage for foreign nurse graduates has been below 20 per cent, according to a memo release by the board. The memo said that the board established the policy of granting tem-porary permits to foreign nurse graduates in 1968. Between the years 1968 and 1972 the number of these per-mits issued averaged less than 12 a year. However, in mid-1971, due to efforts of recruitment agencies, the number of foreign nurse graduates greatly in-creased. In 1972, a total of 72 foreign nurse graduates wrote the examination for the first time and 23 repeated the examination. In 1973, the number expec-ted to take the test was 250. Passing rate for foreign nurse graduates was approximately 40 per cent in 1971. In 1972 the passing rate for first-time candidates was 15.1 per cent and for repeat candidates, 28.6 per cent. For graduates of Louisiana schools of nur-sing the overall passing rate for the last six years has been between 81 and 86 per cent. ' • Another burning issue in the state today, she continued, is the moratorium declared by the state board on new nur-sing programs. Pointing out that there are seven bac-calaureate programs in Louisiana, in-cluding two which .are not even nationally accredited, Dr. Ledbetter said she thinks that is too many for a state the size of Louisiana. Pointing out, also, that several as-sociate degree programs were approved earlier this year, the nursing official said that she feels the moratorium was im-posed a year too late. She has several reasons for these opinions. Number one, she said, is that some clinical facilities are so overridden with students that one patient might have one student from one school in the morning and one from another in the afternoon. "There just aren't enough clinical facilities for the extent of proliferation," Dr. Ledbetter said. Urges Higher Degrees She also said that over half of the in-structors in the state schools of nursing have only the baccalaureate degree, "and the master's is the minimum they should have for teaching." The future will bring an expanded or extended role for the nursing profession, Dr. Ledbetter predicts. She explains that the very strong New York Nursing Association has even redefined the nursing role and established nursing as an independent profession. She emphasized that she isn't ad-vocating that approach for Louisiana right now — nor is she sure that Louisiana is ready to go in that direc-tion. But she said there is a possibility, for instance, that a nurse could have stan-ding orders in an outpatient clinic, for instance. Within these orders, she might act independently to decide whether to send a patient home with medicine, or let them see a doctor. The nursing profession is also going to have to face the question of peer review, she said. She feels the issue is going to be tied in with continuing education. But, she added, the whole issue of continuing education is a problem for it has not been accredited on the national level. The Professional Practices Committee will be looking at peer review as a way to move in the direction of continuing education, she said. Nurses are also looking at salary dif-ferentials and maternity leaves, which they have not been granted in the past. Nurses tend not to question the system. They try to maintain the status quo. Why? She shrugged, "Maybe it's the nurse's temperament. They do not want to be seen as aggressive." The newer breed nurses will perhaps feel freer to question, she predicted. Dr. Ledbetter is a low key liberal and a liberated woman who is not a feminist. She depended on scholarships or worked her way through college for four degrees and a nursing diploma. She is no administrator in an ivory tower, for Dr. Ledbetter has worked as a staff nurse on a rotating basis; as a teacher; and for the Alabama State -Health Department, where she developed a manual of standards for health care for nursing homes. When she came to NSU in 1968, with a brand new doctoral diploma in hand, she was one of the youngest deans in the country. She had had no administrative ex-perience, but succumbed to promises from the NSU administration that "we'll grow together." NSU now has 700 students in three nursing programs, two of which — the associate degree and the graduate — started after she arrived. One of the big changes Dr. Ledbetter made was to integrate the special program for registered nurses into the regular nursing curriculum. Under her direction, the NSU College of Nursing has relocated under one roof in Shreveport. All clinical aspects of the program are also concentrated here. The only teaching Dr. Ijedbetter does now is an occasional guest lectureship. She misses teaching, she said in the hour and a half interview. "I miss the exchange you get in the classroom," she explained. "There is no way to fill the void . . . "

Unlike cheaper varieties, candles made of vegetable waxes (rather than petroleum) burn cleaner and let you smell scent, not smoke. Sure, they're pricy, but with their many hours of burning time, your enjoyment will also last and last (and leave you with a pretty container to repurpose).

Regular readers (are there any?) might be wondering what made me come back to the blog from a more than 6 months period of silence. Well, it turns out that a simple post can be of use in protesting against one of the many anti-piracy laws that the powers-that-be are trying to put in place.
Don't get me wrong, I don't condone piracy when used to profit from someone else's work, but the way most copyright cases are currently handled is just outright ridiculous, and the recent draconic crackdown on file sharing sites is a serious threat to the Internet as we know it.
OK, enough ranting, what's this all about then? As reported by TorrentFreak, a Spanish artist and an hacktivist group devised a very clever way to protest against an anti-piracy law that when into effect today.
The Sinde law allows for the blocking of allegedly infringing sites based on reports from copyright holders, something very similar to the US SOPA bill. So Eme Navarro, who usually publishes his work under a Creative Commons license, released an "all rights reserved" track specifically for the protest. Then, with the help of the group Hackivistas, hundreds of sites are linking to this copyrighted song without permission, and Navarro is going to report all of them to the Ministry of Culture. In turn, they have to review all the requests individually and on order of arrival, so the protest should slow down the review process significantly.
What a clever DOS attack!
Why am I talking about this if I'm not Spanish or living in Spain? I should probably be more worried about SOPA Ireland at the moment…
They will also censor foreign websites, so anyone in the world can join us. We want to check what happens in every case.
And that's where I come in. As of now, this blog is infringing on Spanish copyright law, because I'm linking to Eme Navarro's Nobody's Death.
Let's see how that goes.

Google seems to be testing a new interface for its homepage. I just spotted it on Google UK, and only when logged in and using Chrome. Also, it's only available for some users, as usual with these kinds of experiments. This is what it looks like:
The content is no longer centered, but instead aligned to the left, and the left sidebar is styled differently, with different colors and icons. The header and search box have a grey background that clearly separates them from the search results. As far as these are concerned, the only visible change seems to be that the site URL appears right under the search result link, instead of after the site blurb.
Here's the old interface, for comparison:
Note that the new-ish black menu bar is already on both versions.

Hey, Internet: What if We All Read the Same Book?
The idea was put forward by Jeff Howe last year, as a way to reinvent the book club concept and giving it a global reach, instead of being something you do with people in the neighbourhood (or city). So last summer One Book, One Twitter got around 12,000 people from all over the world reading and discussing (on Twitter) Neil Gaiman's American Gods (great book, by the way, you should read it). And then it was over.
The same Jeff Howe is now trying to revive the idea, and the Twitter-based book club is back. The initiative has a new name – 1book140 – and it's now monthly instead of a one-off thing. The book for this month is The Blind Assassin, by Margaret Atwood, as chosen by "the crowd", and the discussion is already going strong on Twitter, in tweets annotated with the dedicated hashtag for each part (#1b140_1, #1b140_2, #1b140_3, etc.). Here's the reading/discussion schedule for June, and an FAQ for those of you who want to quickly get into it.
I'm joining the club myself, and might even start tweeting about it.
On a funny note, 2 weeks ago Sir Alex Ferguson has publicly criticized Twitter by saying it's a "waste of time" and that people should instead "go to a library and read a book". Well, there you go.

In Wikipedia, that is.
Allow me to explain. In this xkcd comic, this factoid about Wikipedia is stated:
Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at "Philosophy".
Oh really?
So I headed over to a random Wikipedia article and landed in the page for Water Gun. Following the instructions above, and just after following 16 links, I landed in… the Philosophy page!
That's xkcd being awesome again.
UPDATE: There's a whole page on Wikipedia about this.

The P-3AT is a semi-automatic, locked breech pistol. It has been developed from the highly successful P-32 pistol with negligible increase in weight and size. The slide stop has been eliminated and the magazine capacity reduced to 6 rounds due to the larger cartridge. Thanks to its locking dynamics and superior ergonometry, perceived recoil and practical accuracy are comparable to much larger guns. The P-3AT is mainly intended for plainclothes police officers as a secondary weapon, or for concealed carry by licensed citizens. The small grip size and light trigger pull make the P-3AT ideal for female shooters.

KMUD Mediation Committee
The Mediation Committee is committed to assist, in a fair and respectful manner, in resolving personnel problems involving KMUD staff and volunteers when the involved parties have become stuck trying to resolve their issues. As a Staff Member, Programmer, or other Volunteer at KMUD, when a problem related to your activities at KMUD arises you should:
- Step 1: Attempt to resolve the problem directly with those involved in the issue.
- Step 2: If Step 1 fails, bring the issue to the staff member most directly involved. For example, programming issues should go to the Program Director.
- Step 3: If step 2 fails to resolve the problem, discuss the issue with the General Manager.
- Step 4: In the event that the problem is not satisfactorily resolved in the preceding steps, parties to the dispute are encouraged to enter into mediation with the Mediation Committee, but it is understood that the mediation process is entirely voluntary.
- Step 5: In the event that the mediation process does not resolve the issue, it will be referred to the RCR Grievance Panel.
- Step 6: Upon completion of the Grievance Panel Hearing, the Grievance Panelist will submit a recommendation to the Board of Directors.
- Step 7: The Board of Directors will either accept the recommendations of the Grievance Panelist or the Board may, by unanimous vote of the Board, overturn that decision.
Remember, the Mediation Committee is here to help. If any of the earlier steps are found not to be practical, in your particular issue, the individuals involved may contact the Committee, or any member of the Committee, at any time.
The committee consists of:
- Board Members:
- Two Elected Members representing Programmers and Volunteers:
- Community Member:

Brice is one of only two seniors on the team, which boasts a small, 20-man roster.
Brice is confident he can lead the Silent Warriors.
"Demetric Snider and Lorenzo Burrow were my two great leaders," Brice said. "They did an excellent job leading our team. I looked up at them. Both of them are going to play college football at Gallaudet University in Washington DC. I am ready to take over and leading this younger football team. I feel confident and motivate my team."
With just five juniors and seniors on the team, younger players will be expected to step up in key positions.
Brice has seen the younger player's work ethic already and is optimistic.
"I am really impressed of our young boys who really worked hard since school started two weeks ago," Brice said. "I can see that we developed good bond with our younger players."
ASD plays a tough schedule with many long away trips to other deaf high schools in the country.
Trips to Indiana and the District of Columbia can make young players lose focus, but Brice has a plan.
"I will be focusing on my own game and chat with god to give me confidence in my heart," Brice said. "I think all the games are tough. We're focused on one game at a time."
The pressure is on for every player on the team to stay healthy.
With so few players, almost all will be expected to play multiple positions and both sides of the ball.
Injuries are a concern on coaches' and players' minds alike.
"It's already a challenge having only 18 players and if we can get through the season, barring any injuries, we'll be fine," Brice said. "I am up for the challenge. I will do anything coaches ask me to do."
The 6-foot-2-inch, 310 pound lineman was humbled by the confidence his coaches placed on him to rally the Silent Warriors this season.
He said he hopes to make them proud.
"Coach Kulick had chosen me because I am a senior and the only returning player from last year's squad," Brice said. "I will do my best to be positive leader on and off the field."
Expectations are high for ASD in 2012. Coming off an 8-2 season with a team record 440 points is tough with such limited, young personnel.
Brice remains hopeful and confident.
"I hope we will continue to have a good football season with younger players," Brice said. "I believe we will be successful at the end of the football season."

-- state of Illinois facing the worst budget deficit in the nation and it still has 200000 dollars in taxpayer money.
I've spent on things like eco friendly zip lines so why isn't the state putting an end of this frivolous spending joining us now is the president of Citizens Against Government Waste.
Tom Schatz Tom nice to see this morning.
Good morning -- You know these local services local governments and state governments -- and we'll torso straps were having a difficult time paying for.
The essential services fire departments police departments etc.
Do you buy that argument once you've done this new report.
Athlete now we have done these state -- books since 2002 more than forty of them we've done Illinois several times.
In conjunction with the Illinois policy institute.
The state raised the income tax rates by 67%.
Last year about 15100 dollars per family.
And are still claiming that they can't do enough to balance their budget.
-- got an eight billion dollar annual deficit 44 billion cumulative deficit the largest in the nation is just a mess and they're not addressing the obvious wasteful spending.
You released this new Illinois piglet -- for government waste -- among the things that you found in here are things like this we'll put them up on the screen you can take them through it.
Through them for us top here Bobble heads but we're -- Bobble heads.
This is the Springfield park district it's for collegiate summer baseball things on the go the prospect -- which I never even heard of and they're modeling it after their -- the eternal mascot that's how ridiculous that one is glad taxpayers are paying for that here's another one swine -- pig racing.
More than 20000 dollars for a local pig racing contest in rock county these go on all over the country no reason any taxpayer dollars should be used for this purpose.
Among some -- -- -- those are some of the smaller ticket items if you can believe that 9020000.
Respectfully but now here we have some larger.
-- one's one -- we talked about here.
Eco friendly zip lines how much we -- -- 200000.
Right Williamson county again something that is a private operations should be paid for by the people that want to go on the zip line they seem to be popular enough.
Let -- pay for itself.
Yeah I mean it's a tourist attraction when you go on vacation somewhere you go to Alaska users place on the side of -- mountain you pay hefty sum to go on these things I can't understand why they would need taxpayer dollars to work on that.
Also unfortunately that was a lot of recreational activities these days another thing in this just blew me away.
A vacant lot.
For two million dollars I could see some sort of brand new school facility.
Or some sort of public public center -- library -- or something like that.
But for an empty lot.
Well these are tax increment financing funds supposed to reduce polite in villages towns urban areas and certainly.
Filling the vacant lot is just going to create more polite in that town.
I can come in -- -- -- flight I twenty granting a -- I could come in there and do that appears I would two million dollars -- getting cable.
To prison inmates.
The Illinois -- prison inmates are.
Cost on average about 38000 dollars a year more than any other neighboring state most other states in the midwest.
Cable for prisoner is really let's do something better with them and get them rehabilitated and off.
You know the public dole and back into.
Some kind of productive life.
-- one months in prison is watching FOX & Friends this morning if you're if you're -- though hopefully not offended by that time when you do these studies you've taken to these different states what's the response from the state legislature of the governor's office.
-- the legislators appreciate the work that's being done again the expertise of the local group Illinois policy institute the state think tank it's been.
The tremendous help we've done in many other places best example perhaps that they.
The policy that was proposed was the Oklahoma.
-- -- many years ago helped start the transparency movement for government information around the country so many cases these recommendations do have a big impact.
But the principle is whether it's the fiscal cliff for the state budget.
Get rid of the waste first and then.
Start thinking about possibly raising some taxes whatever would we do without those Bobble heads Tom Schatz thanks so much for joining us -- the great work.
Thank you coming up.

Two cut free from their cars after crash near Sixways
4:02pm Saturday 12th October 2013 in News By Ian Craig
FIREFIGHTERS had to cut two people free from their vehicles after a two-car crash near Sixways Stadium in Worcester.
Crews from Worcester and Droitwch were called to the scene near junction six of the M5 at the A4538 Pershore Lane bridge at about 2.25pm.
Both people, who are thought to have both been driving Jaguars, are believed to have been airlifted to hospital, where their condition is unknown.
The road is closed in both directions, causing congestion at the Sixways roundabout.
A street light was also severely damaged in the crash.

Langley's newest golf course will stand out from the crowd when it opens to foursomes this August.
Pagoda Ridge is located on the escarpment above Glen Valley, with stunning views of Golden Ears and the Fraser River to the north.
But its man-made attractions will also catch the eye of the first-time visitor.
For example, the main building on the site right now is a multi-storey pagoda-style structure. It sits not far from a fullscale replica Chinese junk bobbing in a water trap.
Drive your golf cart a little bit past that, and a chunk of the Great Wall of China emerges from the greens.
The land is owned by Lyall Brown and his family. The owners of a Port Kells lumber mill, the Browns bought the land several decades ago, when Lyall wanted a runway for his small airplane.
He cleared some of the land and built a pagodastyle structure as a hangar.
The junk followed over the next few years, built as a hobby using wood from the sawmill, and incorporating cannons, masts, and a brig.
The family debated various uses for the property, considering a Christmas tree farm for a while, before settling on a golf course.
About 20 years ago, the family settled on the idea of a golf course, and began working on the project, adding features one at a time.
Brown's son Larry helped his father shore up a steep ravine, and build a 250 foot bridge that spans it.
The theme for the course comes from Lyall and his wife Verna.
"They like the Chinese architecture," said Tammy Stamnes, one of the four children of the Browns.
About two years ago, the project's speed was turned up and the greens were created using a design and construction from Woodland Golf. The project incorporates quirky architecture, giving golfers a unique terrain to cover.
From the 10th hole, for example, golfers head through a tunnel, down a steep slope and across the bridge in the heavily wooded ravine.
Another route takes golfers along the top of the ersatz Great Wall.
"We thought my dad was crazy when was building the Great Wall of China," said Stamnes. But it has worked out great to create a unique course, she said.
Aside from the Chinese theme, the course has the B.C. touches that come with being in a rural area.
"We've had bears, lots of deer," Larry said. Deer tracks are visible on several of the sand traps around the course.
This June and July, the finishing touches are being put on the greens, which are rapidly nearing completion.
The course will be fully ready for golf starting on Aug. 1, said Stamnes and Larry.
They'll only have been open for two months when the course hosts the Vancouver Golf Tour championships, a tournament for 40 pros and 110 amateurs. The tourney will be a 36-hole invitational that will take advantage of what the Brown family says is a tournament-level course.
The course will have all the basics, such as washrooms, a snack shack, and a small pro shop, but there are plans to keep expanding it, including the addition of a driving range.
"It's going to be a little bit of a work in progress," Larry said.
Pagoda Ridge Golf Course is located at 7887 264 St. in Glen Valley.

Abby, you probably don't know it, but bobsguns is a serious right-wing degenerate, whose entire existence on the planet revolves around his ownership of guns. You'd be well-advised not to encourage him.
Bob, I'm grateful that both you and my mom think so.
Abby, why the Scene doesn't feature your writing(s) over the others remains a mystery to me. Love reading your stuff!

Touche, @xray.
Bob, I had a feeling you'd be OK with the braless thing.
" But unless I can figure out how to fashion a dress out of a tablecloth, I'm kind of stuck."
Dear Abby: In the South, when in need of dress material, ladies use curtains.
>>Just like I have the choice to dress up and feel pretty when I want to.<<
The only people whom would bitch about that are obese, ugly females who cannot both see their toes nor get a date if their life depended upon it. They're bitter at the world & they simply aim their bitterness at those whom do not feel the same way, especially pretty females.
Of course, not that there's ANYTHING wrong with women going around braless............... ;)
OK, I used the F-word — FEMINISM — so I should have expected somewhat of a backlash. Looking back on that line, that could be misinterpreted. Personally, I don't subscribe to the idea — and I'm not saying that you do, either — that women have to grow out their armpit hair or burn their bras if they're going to claim to adhere to any feminist principles. If someone WANTS to grow out her armpit hair or burn her bra, right on, she has that choice. Just like I have the choice to dress up and feel pretty when I want to. It doesn't make me less of a confident or empowered woman to admit that.
We contain multitudes.
How ironic that the Scene championed the OWS gang & then trumpets the Swan Ball. Either ironic or hypocritical, take one's pick.
Just think how much Cheekwood would raise were there no ball & people just mailed in their support checks. IOW, no food to pay for, no band to pay for, no hired help to pay for, everything straight to Cheekwood's coffer. But that would make too much sense, no doubt.
"Feminism be damned"? What's next, Scene? Voting Republican?
"Feminism be damned; from Barbies to Badgley Mischka, we all love to dress up and feel pretty."
Sounds like a magical event......I felt like I was there!
>>What if my ass — literally — ends up on YouTube?<<
I'm sure men (maybe even some women?) everywhere will bow in reverence!!!!!! ;)
Great article, Abby! Before heading out to Donks, take a pole dance class or have a private pole dance party at Urban Studio. You will learn 15-20 moves that you can show off later in the evening at Donks. You can also take a Booty Pop & Clap class, which is HOT right now. www.NashvillePoleDance.com
>>those never see the light of day<<
Buzzkill!!! ;)
Let's hope those never see the light of day.

Minor Works of Dante Alighieri
This small manuscript, dating to the late-15th century, in Renaissance script, contains poems from the Rime (Rhymes) by the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). These are so-called minor works that are distinguished from Dante's Vita nuova (The new life), his book of sonnets recounting his early love for Beatrice, and his all-encompassing allegorical masterpiece, La divina commedia (The divine comedy). On the front cover is a 15th-century note, now almost totally faded, which states: "Di Cosimo de' Medici e degli Amici" (Belonging to Cosimo de' Medici and ...
Poem Concerning the Departure of the Magi
This 15th-century manuscript, in Renaissance script, contains a poetic composition (De profectione Magorum adorare Christum et de innocentibus interfectis ab Herode) by a "Gabriel Volaterranus." The author was in all likelihood Gabriello Zacchi da Volterra, the archpriest (acting dean, vicar to the bishop) of the cathedral, who was from a culturally sophisticated background and died in 1467 at the age of 33. The author dedicates the work to Tommaso del Testa Piccolomini, the secret assistant of Pope Pius II (folio 132r), to whom Pius had granted the privilege of kinship ...
The Spiritual Couplets
The most significant contribution of Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (popularly known in Persian as Mawlānā, and in English as Rumi, 1207–73), the renowned poet and mystic of Iran, to Persian literature may be his poetry, and especially his famous Masnavi (The spiritual couplets). This work, which is said to be the most extensive verse exposition of mysticism in any language, discusses and offers solutions to many complicated problems in metaphysics, religion, ethics, mysticism, and other fields. Masnavi highlights the various hidden aspects of Sufism and their relationship to the ...
Molla Sadra's Miscellany
Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm Ṣadr al-Dīn Shīrāzī (1571–1640), commonly known as Molla Sadra, was a Persian Islamic philosopher, theologian, and mystic who led the Iranian cultural renaissance in the 17th century. The foremost exemplar of the Illuminationist, or Eshraqi, school of philosopher-mystics, Molla Sadra is commonly regarded by Iranians as the greatest philosopher that Iran has produced and is arguably the single most important and influential philosopher in the Muslim world of the last four centuries. His school of philosophy is called Transcendent Theosophy. Molla Sadra's philosophy and ontology ...
The Book of Kings
Shahnameh Baysonqori is a copy of Shahnameh (Book of kings) composed by the highly revered Iranian poet Abū al-Qāsim Firdawsī (940–1020). The importance of Shahnameh in the Persian-speaking world is comparable that of Homer's epics in the West. The book recounts in verse the mythological history of ancient Persia and tales of the famous heroes and personalities of Iranian history, from legendary times to the 7th-century reign of Yazdgerd III, the last king of the Sassanid dynasty. The tales are based on earlier historical works, but are mixed ...
Bucolics, Georgics, and the Aeneid
This 15th-century manuscript, known as the Riccardiana Virgil, includes the texts of the three extant works of the great Roman poet Virgil, the Bucolics, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, and contains 88 miniature paintings in the lower margin of many of the vellum leaves. The miniatures, 86 in the Aeneid and one each in the Bucolics and the Georgics, are attributed to Florentine artist Apollonio di Giovanni and his workshop. Those illustrating the story of Aeneas reflect the influence of Benozzo Gozzoli, who in 1459 completed a suite of frescos ...
The Divine Comedy
This celebrated manuscript of the Commedia of Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) containing the complete text of the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradisio was copied in the hand of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–75) and is one of the most splendid manuscripts in the collection of the Biblioteca Riccardiana. Boccaccio illustrated the manuscript with five pen drawings in the lower margin of a series of leaves in the Inferno. These images were authenticated in 1992 by the noted Florentine scholar Maria Grazia Ciardi Duprè dal Poggetto. The most complete drawing depicts Dante in ...
Jerusalem Delivered
La Gerusalemme liberata (Jerusalem delivered) is a verse epic by the late-Renaissance Italian poet Torquato Tasso (1544–95). Written in the eight-line stanzas common to Italian Renaissance poetry, Tasso's masterpiece is known for the beauty of its language, profound expressions of emotion, and concern for historical accuracy. The subject of the poem is the First Crusade of 1096–99 and the quest by the Frankish knight Godfrey of Bouillon to liberate the sepulcher of Jesus Christ. Tasso was born in Sorrento, in the Kingdom of Naples, and his interest ...
Known as the "exercise book of the Idylls," this autograph manuscript of the great Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi (1798–1837) is preserved at the National Library of Naples. It consists of a booklet with lined pages, on which the author's handwriting stands out sharp and clear. The booklet constitutes the basic draft of Leopardi's Idilli (Idylls), composed between 1819 and 1821. Included are La ricordanza (The remembrance) which later was titled Alla luna (To the moon), L'Infinito (The infinite), Lo spavento notturno (Nocturnal fright), Sera del giorno ...
The Lusiads
Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads) is the national epic of Portugal. Written by the poet, soldier, and sailor Luís de Camões (circa 1524–80) and first published in 1572, it celebrates the great Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama (1469–1524) and the achievements of Portugal (known during the Roman Empire as the province of Lusitania, hence the title) and its people in venturing out into the Atlantic, rounding the tip of Africa, and forging a path to the East Indies. Manuel de Faria e Sousa (1590–1649) was a Portuguese historian ...
Anthology of Ḥakīm Ruknā Masīḥ
This diwan (a collection of poems in Arabic or Persian, usually by a single author) of Persian poems by physician and poet Ḥakīm Ruknā Masīḥ dates from 1638. "Ḥakīm" is an honorific for a wise man or physician. "Masīḥ" (the Christian), which appears elsewhere in the manuscript, was a pen name of the author. It is believed that the poems were dictated by the author to his calligrapher. The manuscript is in four sections, containing qasidas (odes), ghazals (lyric poems), rubaiyat (quatrains), and muqatta't (poetic fragments). The first two ...
