PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, 24 October 2007
The Open Institute – a Cambodian NGO – launched a Khmer language web portal on October 24 2007. It will give non-governmental organisations, the government, and other organisations working on women's issues in Cambodia easy access to legislation and latest developments related to women's issues. The web portal
through advanced communication tools open to all participants and users will allow government, NGOs and individuals to share their concerns and announce their activities, in search of synergies with other organisations. This web portal fills a pressing need in Cambodian society, as information on womens issues, legislation and activities has not yet been made available in the Internet, as it is not so easy to find otherwise.
The Women's web portal aims at promoting gender equality in a society in which women can exercise their rights in a balanced way and can build competence to become self-sufficient, with improved women's participation in social, economic and political life. It does so by providing information that may help other NGOs increase their impact.
Information available on the Women's web portal includes laws, legal documents, conventions to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women, the current state of challenges faced by women, profile and activities of women's institutions and networks, sharing of life's experiences by women, news related to law enforcement and practice, Information Technology, capacity building, leadership, and many other issues that might affect women in Cambodia.
The Women's web portal also provides advanced tools for communications among users and participants. These tools facilitate exchange of information among organizations, supporting their efforts to act in coordination. The tools include mailing list, online forums, the possibility for all user to write their own blogs, and for NGOs to maintain their own pages with information about their profiles, goals and activities. The web portal is accessible at http://women.open.org.kh
Mrs. Chim Manavy, Executive Director of the Open Institute, commented in her speech that "The Women's web portal is an important resource to disseminate information, share knowledge, and facilitate communication in society. Information is power. Expression of opinions helps improving confidence. Therefore, when women have access to sufficient information, understand about rights, have access to knowledge, and are confident, their participations through various activities in social development will be strengthened."
The Women's web portal is an important part of the "Women Empowerment for Social Change" program of the Open Institute. Another important activity of this program is to build capacity in organizations working on women's issues on the use and teaching of Khmer computer software and electronic communications as a tool for empowerment of women. The Women's program also conducts research on gender and ICT.
The launching of the Web portal was attended by over 120 participants, and counted with the participation of Sy Define, Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Women Affairs, who expressed her happiness to see the new web portal come to life, supplying more than necessary information for Cambodian organizations. She also conveyed the hope that access to this information it might help reduce domestic violence.
This programme is financially supported by the Open Society Institute – OSI – and Spanish International Cooperation Agency – AECI.
For additional information, please access to http://women.open.org.kh or contact to the Women's program of the Open Institute via the phone number 023 224821.

KidzPlex's Muhr excited about 2nd straight Junior Olympic berth
Cammi Muhr had a lot on her mind.
There was the stress of school, with the ACT test coming up in five days. She was behind in one class.
Just making it over to Denver before the passes were closed during a blizzard that
blanketed the state a week and a half ago was challenge enough.
Then there was the matter of competing in the USAG Level 10 Regional Gymnastics Championships.
Muhr, a Grand Junction High School junior, was able to put all the other distractions behind her April 18.
By taking 10th place at the regional meet at Thomas Jefferson High School, she earned her second consecutive berth in the Junior Olympic National Invitational Tournament on May 17 in Seattle. The top 10 overall finishers in each region qualify for the national tournament.
Competing in the Senior B division, Muhr is the first western Colorado gymnast to qualify for the Junior Olympics, and she's done it twice.
"It was harder this time for some reason," she said. "I don't know why."
After getting a taste of the national competition last year, Muhr is excited about returning with experience at that level.
"It helps a lot," she said of having been through the rigors of competing against the best in the country. "I'm anxious to go see it."
Muhr's best event is the vault, something she's worked hard to improve on this season.
She's also scored well in the floor exercise and the vault.
"The vault's kind of off and on," she said. "This year it's been good."
Her coach, Brian Bensley, said Muhr has all the tools.
"She's built for this sport," he said. "She's one of the most talented gymnasts I've ever been around."
Muhr, who competed against gymnasts from seven states at the regionals, puts in 12 hours a week of practice. Some of her competitors work out as many as 30 hours a week.
If there's one achievement she wants to reach at this year's nationals, it's on her favorite apparatus.
"My goal is to stick (my landing on) the beam," she said.
That's partly to make up for her beam routine at last year's nationals, when she fell.
"If she could stick her beam, she'd win it," Bensley predicted.
She's got three weeks to fine-tune her routines.
"I just (want to) perfect my skills," she said. "I want to work on my (beam) dismount."
Being a junior, she's got another year left competing at the club level, one both she and Bensley eagerly anticipate.
"It's been a roller-coaster ride," Bensley said.
More important, "It's been a fun ride," he added.

Overwatch Guide: Mercy Info and Tips
Mercy is the best healer in Overwatch. If your mission in life is to help others fulfill theirs, here's how to play your new favorite character.
I personally think that Mercy is the best healer in Overwatch. Lucio and Zenyatta can still do a lot of healing, but this is the one area where Mercy really excels.
And I dunno about you, but I think that's a lot of fun! I have a blast playing Support characters, especially healers. There's nothing more satisfying than keeping your teammate alive while they rip the enemy to shreds.
If being that behind-the-line hero sounds like your cup of tea, Mercy may be your gal.
Mercy has a set of wings that allows her to glide around the battlefield. She can't get around as fast as some characters, but she's definitely on the faster end.
She uses two weapons: the Caduceous Staff and Caduceous Blaster. The staff is her main weapon and allows her to buff an ally's damage or heal them with a steady stream of energy. The blaster is her only method of dealing damage. It works okay, but is akin to a backup pistol in Call of Duty.
While other Support characters can dish out decent damage and provide some support, Mercy is the opposite. She provides lots of support, but very little damage. The best place for her is usually hiding behind a tank and healing/buffing her allies without drawing attention to herself.
In addition to her abilities, remember that Mercy's staff has two different attacks. One (her R2 on PS4) heals allies, while the other (L2) boosts their damage output.
In general, the rule with Mercy is to stay back. I found that hiding behind a big tank like D.Va works well. That way you can boost the tank's healing and damage but still avoid getting shot yourself.
Here are a few more specific tips to help you master this healer:
...or you can just buff Pharrah. Rockets + damage buff = gg
Finally, realize that even though you'll never make the Play of the Game, someone who follows these Mercy tips will often end up on the leaderboard. And in Overwatch, getting top 4 out of 12 players isn't bad.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read about our crowdfund campaign! I am here to ask for your help in renovating and revitalizing a unique, historical building in Anson County, North Carolina.
Anson County is my home county. I grew up here and came back after 30 years away. I see how things have changed. Poverty and unemployment has reached double digits, along with the crime rate. There seems to be a lack of hope. I purchased the Lyric Theatre 3 years ago with plans on renovating it to provide a place for people to come for job training and to have a positive place to hang out. Also, I want to preserve some of the history of the town that I grew up in. I can remember the excitement of coming to what we called uptown when I was young. Of course the Lyric Theatre was not as it was in its "hay days' but some of the other buildings were. The Lyric Theatre building is one of the few buildings that have not been renovated in the town.
The Lyric Theater building, as it is widely known, was first built in 1890 as the Town Hall building, and was later converted in 1908 to serve as the county's first theater, and the only air conditioned building across Anson County. The building was opened and closed multiple times over the course of its lifetime, undergoing several renovations and rehab projects that included updating new light fixtures, adding electric signage and replacing the movie screen itself.
Our beloved theater went out of business for good in 1927, when the newly opened Anson Theater brought competition to the market that the Lyric Theater, much older, and in a less desirable neighborhood, couldn't beat. It has lain in near ruins, with no real interest by local businesses or organizations to set up shop within the old historic building and bring it back to its former glory. That is, until now!
The Project:
I have initiated this crowdfund campaign to begin a renovation project on the historic Lyric Theater building. I will lease space within the building at $1/month for 50 years to ACCESS, a faith-based, 501c3 non-profit organization, whose mission is to share God's plan of hope and a future by providing a pathway from poverty to economic freedom.
The remaining portion of the building will be used for the following purposes:
● community event center
● commercial rental space
I believe that the reason businesses and organizations have not taken advantage of this historic property is because it has, up until this point, been simply too expensive to renovate for any one company to take on. Because I am attempting to raise a large sum of money to completely renovate the building, this will be give other local organizations and retail businesses the chance to take advantage of a unique, historic, and incredibly well-known location, without having to put a great deal of money down for construction and rehab costs!
In order to fund the rehabilitation of this historic building, I am in need of your help! As this building has been sitting, vacant and unattended, for years, there is a significant amount of work that has to be done, including carpentry, bringing the windows and doors up to code, updating the electrical and plumbing, and more.
I have invested $80,000 personally in the building, this includes having a structural assessment completed by a structural engineer. The building was reported as structural sound, with minor repairs, so that all the donations that I receive will go into renovations not making structural corrections.
In all, I anticipate it will cost us approximately $250,000 to completely renovate the property and have it ready for new tenants to come in and use part of the space, as well as our other plans for the building. I can provide you will all the specific details regarding the building, deed, cost estimates,etc.
The sooner I can reach our funding goals, the faster I can begin renovation on the building and bring much-needed new change to our community.

Kirksville's property tax levy increases two cents
Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:11:20 GMT —
The Kirksville City Council approved a small increase in the city's property tax levy Wednesday evening.
Four of the five council members voted in favor of a two-cent increase in the levy.
The city's property tax levy will now be $.6823 per $100 of assessed valuation.
"What that means for the city as a whole would be an additional revenue of $25,000 (for the year),â?? said Mari Macomber, Kirksville city manager. â??That is, if all people pay their property tax. I mean, understand there are some delinquencies that are not paid."
For most Kirksville residents, the increase in the tax levy should range from a few cents to a few dollars more that you will pay in property taxes.
Obviously the more property you own, the more taxes you have to pay.
The increase will go into effect on the tax bills you will receive later this year.
Councilman Robert Russell abstained from voting on the tax increase.

Did anyone hear these elites warning about the harmful consequences to the poor over the past ten years as fast food and goods prices rose without a corresponding rise in the federal minimum wage? Have any of these anti-poor elites, in recent years, lamented the number of poor people losing jobs over rising prices? Or were they more concerned with fattening their own pocketbooks while making certain the poorest citizens in our country remained poor? If the price of foods and goods is going to rise anyway, would it not be better to recognize that the poorest in our society need to make enough wages to keep up with inflation? And does anyone (even the most elite of the moneyed elite?) want to make an argument that fast food and goods prices will rise 40% over the next few years if the minimum wage is raised?
If this country is left in the hands of the moneyed elites, prices will continue to rise while the rich fatten their pocketbooks and make certain the poor get poorer.
So much for the American dream.

The effect of this anti-geology Bush edict is that employees at Grand Canyon National Park are not permitted to discuss the age of the canyon.
Of course, the Hebrew wording of the Genesis creation accounts (which most fundamentalists insist is a literal six, 24 hour day event) does NOT mandate a literal six day creation. In fact, in the original Hebrew, the wording clearly indicates that creation was an act of God over a very long period of time. Some Bible inerrantists have enough confidence in the Bible to admit as much, but many do not. Which means, ironically, that biblical fundamentalists are trying to force science to conform to something the Bible does not actually teach in the first place. Furthermore, only since the 17th century has the belief in a literal six-day creation become popular among Christians, and not until the 1870s and 1880s was "creationism" born.
That many fundamentalists disrespect and even abuse the Bible (even as they publicly claim to believe it) for their personal gain is nothing unusual. For President Bush to turn their disrespect of the Bible into public policy is inexcusable.
Who in the world would shell out $3.9 million to field a missionary ... in America? According to Mary Branson, former long-time editing director at the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, the NAMB took an operating budget of $126,000,000 and managed to fund a total of 32 full-time home missionaries. That's not a misprint: 32 full-time missionaries, one missionary for each $3.9 of NAMB operating budget.
OK, it is true that no given missionary pocketed $3.9 million ... but it is also true that former NAMB president Bob Reccord helped himself, and his friends, to many millions of dollars in lavish personal expenses and contracts while at the helm of the organization, according to Branson. And while Reccord was preening his image and living high on the hog, and lining the pockets of his buddies, he publicly boasted that NAMB fielded some 5000 missionaries even as the missions agency quietly supported only 32 full-time missionaries with the $126,000,000 that Southern Baptists contributed to NAMB. Oh, and Reccord made certain to use some of NAMB's budget to give handouts of a few hundred dollars a month to several hundred church planters and pastors in "pioneer" areas of the U.S. How generous. (At one point, I and my wife, although never receiving a dime from NAMB, were counted as two of the thousands of NAMB missionaries, with our names included in the organization's printed promotionals. But I digress; that is another story.)
Although Reccord is now gone, there are no indications that Southern Baptists are currently getting any more bang for their buck in terms of missionaries. Perhaps next summer at the SBC annual convention someone should make a motion that NAMB take its $126,000,000 pot and select 32 missionaries who also happen to be professional baseball players. The NAMB Home Run Missionaries might put on quite a show. For a small admission price, Southern Baptists could attend games at Missionary Park, scarfing Gospel Dogs while watching the Home team relief pitchers try to convert save opportunities.

The only explanation I can think of for such warped ethics is that to some conservatives, anyone who bears a hint of the label "liberal" is unforgivable, unless the sinner completely renounces his or her liberalism. Conversely, those who bear the label "conservative" are eminently forgivable, no matter how hateful, unethical, slanderous, deceitful and otherwise filth-fully sinful. Conservatives, without even acknowledging their sins, can easily be pardoned from their sins by simply claiming they believe in God. But when liberals say they believe in God, they are obviously lying. Thus, George W. Bush is a saint, and Bill Clinton is the worst sinner on the face of the earth.
Strange (and certainly unbiblical) though such a view of sin and sinner is, it does help explain fundamentalist aversions to Jesus. When Al Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and his fellow fundamentalists so crafted the 2000 edition of the Baptist Faith and Message to remove acknowledgment of Jesus being the "criterion" for interpreting scripture, they did so out of fear that some Baptists were daring to put their trust in the liberal Jesus.
That's right, the liberal Jesus. After all, he was quite the religious liberal in his day. Jesus, the one who enjoyed drinking wine and was even accused of being a drunkard. Jesus, the one who violated the religious laws and taught his disciples they could so likewise. Jesus, the one who was a friend to prostitutes and the other dregs of society. Jesus, the one who refused to execute a woman caught in the act of adultery, thus refusing to follow the law. Jesus, the one who taught that Christians have a social responsibility to the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden, the marginalized. Jesus, the one who taught that shirking one's responsibility to providing for the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden and the marginalized has a direct bearing on one's very salvation. Jesus, the one who taught experiential faith over propositional (that is, doctrinal) faith. Jesus, the one who had not a word to say about abortion and homosexuality, but spent much time expounding upon the evils of religious legalism (fundamentalism). Jesus, the liberal.
Some conservatives so dislike the liberal Jesus that they deny him in this respect (hence, his demotion in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000), holding him at arm's length ... but at the same time trying to dress him up in fundamentalist clothes, because you can't claim to be a Christian and not publicly hold on (to at least a part of) Jesus.
What I want to know is this: when are these conservatives going to move beyond denying the liberal Jesus and instead forgive him for being other than they want him to be? Indeed, are they even capable of forgiving Jesus? If they can't extend forgiveness to Bill Clinton for being a liberal, how can they possibly forgive Jesus, the Son of God, for being a liberal?
Obviously, they can't.

What is Land's list of "Baptist views?" He has consistently insisted on a handful of necessary beliefs: pro-life (in Land's world, "pro-life" actually means "anti-abortion"), pro-Israel, non-gay marriage, pro-Bush and pro-Iraq War. That's it folks; that's what is required to be a Southern Baptist, according to Richard Land, head of the SBC Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and self-appointed spokesperson for all Southern Baptists.
Never mind that prior to the 1960s, Southern Baptists did not pretend to take definitive stances on the first three of Land's defining issues. In fact, one would have been hard-pressed to find any Southern Baptist who was pro-Israel as Land defines it (Christian Zionism did not develop until the 1970s), most Baptists were not discussing abortion (and most that were discussing it were not entirely opposed), and gay marriage was a non-issue. And it is doubtful that any Southern Baptist prior to this decade would have voiced unwavering support for a president who repeatedly lied to start a war (and in order to continue the utter fiasco that the war has become) and considers the Constitution of the United States "nothing more than a *^&$%&$* piece of paper!"
In short, by Richard Land's definition, true Southern Baptists did not even exist until sometime after the 1960s!
But what of the present, an era in which Land and his fundamentalist cronies claim to be leading Southern Baptists around by the nose? In my current church, whose members financially support both the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Southern Baptist Convention, not a single one of the roughly 10 of 500 or so members who actually know who Richard Land is ... consider Land as representative of their views. As a matter of fact, very few Southern Baptists (outside of preachers) know who the man is, and although quite a few Southern Baptists might agree with the man on some of his views, few turn to Land for guidance on what to believe, and many would take offense that he pretends to speak on their behalf.
And in Baptist circles other than (some) Southern Baptists and other fundamentalist Baptists, Land's priestly pretensions are widely recognized as the shrill rantings of a blowhard.
So, Richard Land, just what are you smoking? It seems you are rather high on the fumes coming from the tailpipe of your own self-importance ... and inhaling deeply.

WOULD JESUS THROW McDONALDS OUT OF THE TEMPLE?
As noted in a news story from Canada about their southern neighbors:
"The faith and family market has attracted the attention of some of America's largest corporations.
Coca Cola Co., Daimler Chrysler AG and McDonalds Corp. are among the giant U.S. corporations that have begun tapping into the Christian market, largely through the "mega-church" phenomenon sweeping largely through the southern states.
Coca-Cola and McDonalds have given away free samples at the 25,000-member New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Ga. Target Co. won praise from the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn for donating 2,000 backpacks to children in a low-income housing project.
GM's Chevrolet division has just sponsored evangelical singer Michael W. Smith's recent tour, while Chrysler ponied up for Patti La Belle's recent gospel tour that included her Dec. 2 concert at Jericho City of Praise in Maryland. GM also made donations to a cancer cause for parishioners at the Maryland church who test drove their cars."The Republican Party has already conscripted much of the evangelical community, with mega-churches at the forefront, for political purposes. Now, in the wake of success on the political front come America's biggest corporations, seeking entrance into holy places. Altruism? Not a chance. It is all about $$$.
Would Jesus throw McDonalds out of the Temple?

A Rabbi, a Pastor, and a Zen Monk Walk into a Bar…
Rachel Levin | Photo: Alex Farnum | December 5, 2012
…and agree that famously secular San Francisco is having a religious awakening. A divine conversation—with drinks.
How does your approach break from tradition?
Haye: Buddhism is a very formal organization, and it can be austere and forbidding for newcomers. But part of our mission as Zen monks is to spread the dharma. So with YUZ, we wanted to break down the barriers and present the content in a more accessible way.
Kushner: We don't want to water down the content either—but we want to present it without the typical trappings that surround religion, without the formalities.
Noa, did you come up with the name "the Kitchen" to capitalize on the city's food obsession?
Kushner: No, that was just lucky. The idea of the kitchen was that, well, almost everyone has one. (In New York City, we might not be able to say that!) The kitchen is the room where everyone wants to be, where everyone gathers—where it all goes down.
Haye: Kitchens are pretty central to us as well: We've been called a food cult before, and food preparation is considered part of the practice. Potlucks have become a big thing with YUZ; hikes, picnics, movie nights—it's become a social outlet.
Your organizations are basically startups—but without VC backing. How do you make it work?
Monts: Yeah, Ikon did actually have a few "angel investors." But 70 percent of our operating income comes from weekly offerings.
Kushner: No way! We're not allowed to handle money on Shabbat. We can't pass a basket.
Haye: We have a unique financial situation. Tassajara [the Carmel Valley Zen Center, which doubles as a summer resort] is basically a cash cow for us, and we also have Greens Restaurant.
Monts: I have to do it, but I'm not equipped to run the business side of the church. I don't have an MBA—I went to Bible school!
Kushner: The Kitchen is as risky as any startup. We have some grants, which help, and we charge membership fees—we have to pay our teachers. But I'd love to see a venture capitalist invest in a religious organization! The payoff won't come in money, but I'd love to meet a VC who sees payoff in a spiritual light. I see it every day.

The second annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event that takes a stand against domestic violence and sexual assault was held Saturday, August 23 and it was such a success! There were over 130 walkers and $25,000 raised for Safe Alliance! The event was held at Noda Brewing Company, where everyone enjoyed great brews, delicious food provided by the Hot Box Food Truck, and lots of action from the walkers in their high heels! We were happy to donate the award shoes this year and multiple boxes of heels for the men who needed a pair to walk the mile. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is close to our hearts and we plan to give our support each year! I can't wait to see the growth and support within the Charlotte community for Safe Alliance. I hope you enjoy some of the pics from the event Saturday. These guys were fabulous!

Editorial: Closing of RJ's Tavern is a blow to Hastings
For the most part, businesses in downtown Hastings were able to get through the past three years of bridge construction unscathed.
We're sure it wasn't the best recipe for success — construction was everywhere, roads were torn up and streets were closed off and on throughout the project.
Most established businesses, though, made it through all the construction.
We were reminded on Tuesday, though, that the work has taken its toll when we learned of the closing of RJ's Tavern on Main.
Of course, the bridge work isn't the only factor at play here. There was an exhaustive remodeling job and the downturn in the economy hit at about the same time.
The closing of the long-standing establishment is a blow to Hastings because it takes with it a lot of history. Just after the closing was announced, we watched on Facebook as news spread and heard testimonials from people who frequented RJ's. They may have worked there, or may have met their significant other there. They may have spent a 50th birthday party there, or a fun New Year's Eve.
Hastings has other restaurants for people to go to. There are plenty of places here, and nobody will starve because RJ's is out of business. The real blow instead comes from the fact thathe space for so many fond memories is now behind locked doors.

Gerrard to be back for pre-season
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has said he will be fully fit for the start of next season after shoulder surgery ended his campaign early.
Gerrard has been playing on with a shoulder problem suffered during the 3-2 FA Cup fourth-round defeat at Oldham on January 27.
He has started all 36 of Liverpool's Premier League matches this season, and manager Brendan Rodgers had hoped to be able to delay an operation until the summer.
However, the problem has worsened in recent weeks and the club have decided to send the midfielder for surgery early, ruling him out of Sunday's trip to Fulham and the home match against Queens Park Rangers on May 19.
Gerrard will also miss England's next two friendlies, against Ireland on May 29 and Brazil on June 2. The player, though, insists he will be ready for the start of pre-season training in July.
The 32-year-old told the club's official website: "Between the medical staff and myself, we've decided the best decision is to get it [the surgery] done now so I am ready for pre-season training.
"I'm very disappointed to miss the last two games, but it's a stage now where it's probably better if another player plays because he'll be able to offer more because the shoulder is quite sore.
"I first got the injury against Oldham in the FA Cup when I came on as a sub, and I've since aggravated it on numerous occasions.
"The medical team and staff have been brilliant. They've helped me a lot and put a lot of hard work into getting me out there on to the pitch.
"I've felt my form has been good this season. I think I got off to a slow start after Euro 2012, but got stronger as the season went on.
"I've enjoyed the season, although it is disappointing to leave it empty-handed."

Eddie Sefko of SportsDayDFW.com answered some questions from readers on Wednesday in a live chat, and touched on a number of Mavericks topics including the team's free agency plans and possible trades. Here are the highlights:
- Sefko expects the Mavericks to be in the hunt for big-name free agents such as Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, and Andrew Bynum in the summer of 2013, and the pursuit of a big name will take precedence for the front office over retaining O.J. Mayo.
- Sefko trusts Mark Cuban's long-term vision for the Mavs, citing his track record of turning the team into a championship organization.
- Sefko thinks the Mavericks may search for point guard help at the deadline, naming Jose Calderon, Luke Ridnour, and Rodney Stuckey as possible targets.
- Sefko does not believe Rick Carlisle is on the hot seat in spite of the Mavs' recent struggles.
- Losing out on Deron Williams may have been a blessing in disguise for the Mavs given Williams' struggles with the Nets this season, writes Sefko.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Reflex Edition
Review by Comickid15
"My least favorite game of all time."
I absolutely despise this game, but hey, I should be fair and explain why.
Graphics - 9/10
Surprised. For the Wii, these are GREAT, and not too glitchy either.
Servers and Online Play - 10/10
A little bonus I tend to not include in reviews, but I say it needs mentioned. The serves are excellent. Why these servers work PERFECT but Brawl's had to be the worst ever is beyond me. They run smooth and have very little lag.
Story - N/A
Haven't played Campaign. You'll learn why soon enough.
Gameplay - 7/10
Addicting, simple, and fun. In itself the gameplay is good, although stale at this point in the series.
Controls - 0/10
Worst. Controls. EVER. That's my gripe. My Wiimotes don't respond on this game AT ALL. I've used new batteries, rechargeables, adjusted/MOVED the bar on my TV...NOTHING WORKS. That's the killer of this game for me. That's what absolutely ruins it. I worked hard to try and master these controls, and I just couldn't do it. Hypothetically, this could be the best game ever made, and the controls ruin it. I can't stress enough how much I hate that. Allow me to explain more in-depth. The Wiimote constantly goes off-screen, causing me to turn out of control or just plain stop, aiming is nearly impossible, turning is plain impossible...you know what? ANYTHING that involves the motion controls is impossible. EVERYTHING. The rest of the controls (button-wise) are fine. But the motion controls flat-out ruin it for me, to the point where the game was unplayable and has since been sold.
(+/- from the final average)
+1: Servers. Can't stress enough how great the servers flow compared to Wii standards.
Zeroed-out (-all points): Controls. Can't rate a game high that you can't even play. This game, for that reason alone, deserves a 0/10, but that's not allowed, so 1/10 then. Plus, you HAVE to use the Wiimotes. I tried to swap it with other controllers. Not possible. Call of Duty should stay off the Wii (and Wii U) and never return. PS3/PS4, PC, and Xbox 360/Xbox One do and will treat the game better with controls. I know it seems unfair completely stomping out a game for ONE reason, but why shouldn't I? Nothing else matters if you can't even play the game in the first place.
Don't rent, don't buy, don't even TOUCH the Wii version. You want Call of Duty: Modern Warfare? Try the PS3 or 360 versions, not this unplayable, TERRIBLY controlled Wii version.
Reviewer's Rating: 0.5 - Unplayable

stories: the Trash People
This post is part of my "stories" series. In this series, I share stories of how people live their lives in response to the gospel and as a demonstration of God's love in order to teach us and to provide an example to provoke us to love and good works. (See "stories: A New Series" for more information about this series.)
This story was submitted by Sam, one of my readers. I've chosen this "story" as the winner of the contest that I ran during the last month (see "A Contest: Examples of Serving").
In November I heard Dino Rizzo speak in a workshop at the National Outreach Convention in San Diego. Dino talked about ways to serve the community. He said that if he were new in a city he would buy some garbage bags and volunteer at a community event to help do cleanup. If there was no community event, he said he would just go up and down the streets in his neighborhood and pick up trash.
I told this story to our little group that is trying to learn how to serve an inner city neighborhood in our city. We decided that we should try it the following Sunday morning, the second Sunday in December, and then do it every other Sunday morning. Our first Sunday out was a cold, windy day, but we met, prayed and then picked up trash in the neighborhood for about eighty to ninety minutes.
We skipped the fourth Sunday in December, since everyone in the group was out of town or occupied with visiting relatives. However, we resumed our trash pickup last Sunday, the second Sunday of January.
We met, prayed and started picking up trash. About two minutes after I started a car pulled up near me.
(Him) "What are you doing?"
(Me) "We're picking up trash to make the neighborhood look nice".
(Him) "Who are you people?"
(Me, while pointing to the yellow shirts we all wore that has our group's name printed on it) "We're a little group of Christians just trying to help out the neighborhood."
(Him) "What church are you with?"
(Me) "We're just a small group that meets here in the neighborhood."
(Him) "I mean, where's your church? The building?"
(Me) "We meet in cafes or the park. We don't use a church building. We try to be out around people."
(Him) "But are you part of some church, like the Catholic church, or something like that?"
(Me) "No. We're just followers of Jesus, and every other Sunday morning this is how we do church. We go out in the neighborhood and pick up trash."
Suddenly I was his good friend.
(Him) "My name is xxxxxxxx. I'm on the planning commission here, and I've never seen anything like this. I'm church way back, but I don't go any more. (He gave me some reasons. He doesn't think much of "religious people".) Now this is real religion."
He told me about the dislike the churches in the neighborhood and the people in the neighborhood have for each other, a story that I have heard several times from the neighborhood. (Most of the churches in the area are attended by people who drive into the neighborhood. The churches and their neighbors regularly complain to the city, the police and whomever will listen about each other.)
As we continued picking up trash, people watched. When cars drove by, I looked up. Several people smiled and waved. Some people came out of their houses and thanked us, after watching us from their windows. When we reached the end of our time, and turned around to go back to our cars, picking up a few bits of trash that we had missed on the first pass, more people came out of their houses and thanked us.
Several weeks earlier I walked these same streets trying to see what I could see, and prayed for the neighborhood. No one stopped to talk to me. No one smiled and waved as they drove by. No one came out of their house to talk to me. A couple of gang members asked me for money. That was it.
Oh yes, we do not hand out tracts or invite people to church. We're just getting to know them and they're getting to know us. They're trying to figure out who we are. When they've got that figured out, perhaps, just perhaps, they'll invite us into the spaces of their lives. That is where we will be allowed to hear each others stories. But for now, they're just smiling, waving, coming out of their spaces to say hello or thank you or to ask who we are and what we're doing.
After writing this, I thought about a group that is trying to start a new church. Twice they have walked through our neighborhood, hanging invitations to the new church on people's doors. I watched them. No one smiled and waved at them as they drove by, no one stopped to talk to them, and no one came out of their house to talk to them. After the group had passed, I did see people open their doors to get the flyers, look at them a second or two and toss them in the trash. Hmmm!

That is a beautiful and wonderful story! The kingdom of God in action. Thank you for sharing this with us Alan. And thanks to the brother for writing it and more importantly – doing it. Bless you!
I agree!
I hope this story serves to stir all of us up toward love and good works! We can all serve God in a similar way.
Being humble…doing a job no one else wants to do…serving the community instead of pridefully lording it over them (as it sounds like the "churches" in the neighborhood are trying to do).
Awesome! As Scott said, "The kingdom of God in action."
Oh that God would continue to bring me down (or up) to a servants heart!
I cross-posted this story on my blog at MissionalTribe (see The Trash People). The story has since been featured at MissionalTribe here: The Trash People – A Story. I'm glad this story is being read by more and more people. I hope it encourages all of us to think of way to impact our communities with the love of Christ!
Sam, love your work.
Jesus was also there picking up trash with you that day.
Thank you for the kind comments! We are encouraged.
We find that picking up trash not only helps us get to know people, but also in its own way is "preaching a sermon" of a slightly different sort to our community. We're guessing that many of those who are home on Sunday mornings watching us out their windows don't go to church and hear a sermon there.
Tomorrow we plan to try to locate a "pooper scooper" to take with us Sunday. We have discovered that trash is not the only problem on the streets.
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I hope you'll share more with us as you continue to love and serve this community.
Sam and Alan,
Great story. I am reposting the story on our website (doableevangelism.com) as well, since it is a wonderful example of what we refer to as "ordinary attempts" at evangelism (besides being a fantastic model for what "church" looks like in a neighborhood).
Best line for me:
(Him) "I mean, where's your church? The building?â€
The Building is how some of us refer to what we used to call 'church'. Funny that this guy on the street saw it that way, too. Not anymore, though. Not anymore. Way to go.
Thanks for sharing Sam's story!
I loved this story!
- Evangelism is Gospelism (Part 5) - [...] is a story I read on Alan Knox's blog. I think it is a good example of one possible…

Vacheron Constantin - The Sound of Time
For the first time in Hong Kong, Vacheron Constantin evokes an aspect of Fine Watchmaking at the WATCHES&WONDERS exhibition by offering a tuneful and luminous experimental route presenting some of its finest striking watches from its legacy.
The Swiss watchmaker is renowned as the pioneer in exceptional striking watchmaking. Its reputation grew in the early 19th century when the founder's grandson Jacques Barthélémi Vacheron, a specialist of striking repeater watches, took the reins of the Maison. Soon famous collectors commissioned their own models. Among them were Sir Bhupindra Singh, the Maharajah of Patiala, who acquired a pocket chronograph clockwatch with alarm, date and moon phases dated 1909; and the famous American automobile manufacturer James Ward Packard, who ordered a quarter and half-quarter repeating pocket chronograph clockwatch with Grande and Petite Sonnerie in 1918.
Guests at the exhibition can admire the revered Maison's array of striking watches and discover the mysteries of a rare horological complication much sought-after by collectors around the world. Highlights include an 1812 red gold quarter-repeater pocket watch with a guilloché dial, along with an 1827 pocket watch with quarter repeater, jumping hours and small seconds.
With the advent of the wristwatch in the 20th century, the Maison continues to innovate in this facet of watchmaking by creating spectacular feats of ultimate finesse and ultra-thin timepieces housing a number of complications. Also showcased at the exhibition is a 1955 minute repeater model equipped with a calibre measuring less than 3.28mm thick and a minute repeater featuring a movement entirely openworked and decorated by hand in an expression of pure and exquisite beauty.

March Madness 2013 Bracket: NCAA Tournament Darlings That Will Fall EarlyMarch 20, 2013
The NCAA tournament is where underdogs are meant to thrive. That's why we call it "March Madness."
In recent years, we've seen some underdogs captivate the nation. From 2011 to 2013, there are several teams that have developed into NCAA tournament darlings that just so happen to be participating in March Madness this year.
But not every underdog has a Cinderella story. Here are five NCAA tournament darlings I see falling in the early rounds this year.
Don't forget to print out your bracket and follow along with the live bracket. Follow all the exciting NCAA tournament action with March Madness Live.
All stats via ESPN.com and TeamRankings.com.
N.C. State (No. 8 Seed, East)
The N.C. State Wolfpack, who upset San Diego State and Georgetown last year en route to the Sweet 16, should get past Temple in the round of 64 this year, but that's where I see their run ending.
The Wolfpack have a dangerous offense, led by star forward C.J. Leslie, but their defense is another question. They rank 115th in opponents' field-goal percentage this season, as well as 189th in defensive efficiency. That includes allowing Miami (FL) to shoot 45 percent from the floor in the ACC tournament.
That won't bode well for N.C. State against probable Round of 32 opponent Indiana. The Hoosiers also rebound the ball well, which should pose problems for the Wolfpack.
Ole Miss (No. 12 Seed, West)
Ole Miss punched a ticket to the NCAA tournament with a stunning win over Florida in the SEC championship game this year. And, hey, who doesn't want to watch Rebel Marshall Henderson these days?
But I do have the Rebels losing to Wisconsin in the Round of 64 this year.
Wisconsin has been on a roll lately, winning three straight games before falling to formidable Ohio State. That included wins over Michigan and Indiana, in which the Badgers played extremely well.
I know what the Rebels did against Florida, but I have a good feeling about Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament this year. The Badgers have been phenomenal defensively lately.
Colorado (No. 10 Seed, East)
Colorado stunned UNLV in the Round of 64 last year. Unfortunately for the Buffaloes, I don't expect them to have the same success against Illinois this year.
While Colorado has shot much better than Illinois this season, the Buffaloes rank 138th in the country in offensive efficiency, and that's a much better barometer. They aren't a very good free-throw shooting team, nor do they hit the three-ball with regularity. Plus, they rank 163rd in turnovers per possession. Illinois ranks 69th in opponents' turnover rate.
I ultimately see the Fighting Illini emerging victorious.
VCU (No. 5 Seed, South)
VCU made it to the Final Four in 2011 as a No.11 seed. The Rams also upset Wichita State in the Round of 64 last year.
While I see Shaka Smart's squad defeating Akron in the Round of 64 this year, I don't see the Rams advancing past potential Round of 32 opponent Michigan.
I not only like Michigan's offense over VCU's defense, the Wolverines have an advantage on the glass (the Rams rank 164th in rebounding rate). The Wolverines not only have star Trey Burke, they have depth on offense, which makes them much tougher to defend.
Creighton (No. 7 Seed, Midwest)
Creighton may be a No. 7 seed this year, but some have the Bluejays soaring past potential round-of-32 opponent Duke.
I don't see that happening. The Bluejays do have a prolific scorer a la C.J. McCollum in junior forward Doug McDermott (who could pose problems for Duke's defense), but they also rank 99th in defensive efficiency. Given Duke ranks sixth in offensive efficiency—despite playing in the more competitive ACC—I can't see the Bluejays upsetting the Blue Devils.
On the other hand, I do expect this to be a nail-biter. If McDermott gets going, these two teams could be trading buckets down the stretch.

Mico nigriceps
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Mico nigriceps (Ferrari & Lopes, 1992)
Common Name(s):
Callithrix nigriceps Ferrari & Lopes, 1992
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Formerly in the genus Callithrix (see Rylands et al. 1993, 2000, 2008). Groves (2001, 2005) lists this species as Callithrix (Mico) nigriceps.
This marmoset is darker than the form M. emiliae described by Vivo (1985) from adjacent Rondônia, but differs in the pigmentation of the face and ears, pheomelanization of the forelimbs, mantle and ventrum, a brown rather than grey dorsum, an orange/russet colouration of the posterior limbs, and pale hips and upper thighs (Ferrari 2008).
Alperin (1995) argued that Mico nigriceps (Ferrari and Lopes 1992) and "Mico emiliae" from Rondônia belong to the same species.

Listed as Data Deficient as there is no information on the threats to this species, nor on the precise limits of the distribution range.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This marmoset is believed to occur between the Rio dos Marmelos in the north and east, the Rio Madeira in the west and the Rio Jiparaná in the south, in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. Ferrari (1993) reported on the capture of two adult male M. nigriceps at the Tenharin Indian settlement, on the west bank of the Rio dos Marmelos (07º57'S, 62º03'W). (The location of Tenharin on the map, Figure 1, in Ferrari [1993] was incorrect. The correct location was shown in Ferrari [1994].) Ferrari and Lopes (1992) and Ferrari (1993) argued that it is unlikely to extend further west than the Rios Madeira and Jiparaná, nor east to the Rios Aripuanã and Roosevelt, and the south-eastern limits are defined by an area of savanna/cerrado vegetation at the headwaters of the Rio dos Marmelos and along the middle Rio Jiparaná.

Marmosets and tamarins are distinguished from the other monkeys of the New World by their small size, modified claws rather than nails on all digits except the big toe, the presence of two as opposed to three molar teeth in either side of each jaw, and by the occurrence of twin births. They eat fruits, flowers, nectar, plant exudates (gums, saps, latex) and animal prey (including frogs, snails, lizards, spiders and insects). Marmosets have morphological and behavioural adaptations for gouging trees trunks, branches and vines of certain species to stimulate the flow of gum, which they eat, and in some species form a notable component of the diet (Coimgra-Filho and Mittermeier 1976; Rylands 1984). They live in extended family groups of between four and 15 individuals. Generally, only one female per group breeds during a particular breeding season. The groups defend home ranges 10-40 ha, the size depending on availability and distribution of foods and second-growth patches.
Information on the gut morphology of M. nigriceps and its relation to gum feeding is provided in Ferrari et al. (1993).
H&B 21.1 cm. TL 33.2 cm (n = 6) (Ferrari 2008)
Male weight 380 g (n=3) (Ferrari 1993).
|Major Threat(s):
|Major threats to this species are generally not understood. The area can be reached by paved road from Rondônia and is traversed by the Transamazon highway where cattle-ranching and logging are underway (Ferrari and Lopes 1992). It is not hunted, but there is some use as pets.
|Conservation Actions:
This species is not recorded from any protected areas. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES (as Callithrix nigriceps).
Further research is needed to better determine the geographic range, demography, and ecology of this species. Also surveys are needed to evaluate threats with increasing development in the region.

SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert is asking President Barack Obama to declare Utah a major disaster in the wake of last month's storms that produced record-breaking precipitation in Kane and Washington counties.
In letter sent Thursday, Herbert outlined nearly $6 million in damage incurred as a result of the storms, which dropped 16 inches of rainfall and 15.3 inches of snow in the region.
"I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the state and affected local governments and that supplementary federal assistance is necessary," Herbert wrote.
Describing it as a statewide "severe winter event," Herbert said the storm resulted in the activation of the Washington County Emergency Operations Center on Dec. 20 and subsequently a number of resources were deployed.
"The storms and flooding damaged public facilities and private property and threatened the lives and safety of many residents in southwestern Utah," his letter said.
Intense flooding damaged multiple homes, took out bridges, forced evacuations of hundreds and called into question the integrity of two dams. As a result, Herbert said multiple state agencies responded to assist with flood control, assess damage and evaluate dam failure threats, including the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Utah Department of Transportation and Utah National Guard.
He said the most severe impacts were to roads, utility systems, parks and trails.
Per capita costs, when isolated to Washington County, come out at $52.21 as the result of the December storm, and $175.00 per capita in Kane County, according to the governor's letter. Statewide, that figure is at $2.59 per capita.
A statewide report on the water supply outlook for this water year shows that as early January, southwestern Utah had snowpack at 274 percent of average while precipitation in the region was at a whopping 520 percent.
Herbert said the more than ample snowpack, combined with future storms and spring runoff, is likely to result in "debris dams" that redirect stream flows in the Santa Clara and Virgin rivers, elevating threats in the months to come.
A state and regional natural hazard mitigation plan is already under review by Federal Emergency Management Agency officials in Denver.

Shane Victorino tripled and scored a run in the sixth inning of Saturday's game against the Angels. He appeared to cross the plate with a limp, though, and he was eventually lifted for a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning.
Jonny Gomes pinch-hit for Victorino in the ninth inning with the Red Sox leading 7-3. While it might have been a precautionary move more than anything, manager John Farrell said after Boston's 11-inning defeat that Victorino is dealing with left hamstring tightness.
According to Farrell, Victorino, who spent time on the disabled list with a hamstring issue earlier this season, will be re-evaluated Sunday.

DescriptionGreen is small, shallow lake, 17 miles east of Crane Lake and 27½ miles NNW of Ely. Over a mile long and up to a half mile across, its 141 acres have a maximum depth of only 20'. Green has no apparent inlet or outlet streams, only a marshy seepage stretching to the northwest towards Gebeonequet. It is connected to Gebeonequet overland by way of a 120 rod portage out of the north end of the lake, the trail climbing nearly 50' in the first 25 rods, then leveling off before dropping nearly 100' into Gebeonequet in the final 50 rods. At the south end of Green, an 85 rod portage heads south to Rocky, gaining 66' of elevation before dropping back 38' to the Rocky shoreline. Off a small inlet along the eastern shore, just north of the campsite, an unmaintained portage (almost invisible in the lakeside reeds) heads east to Pekan.
The forests on the eastern shore of Green Lake are nearly 250 years old, dating back to the major stand replacing fires of 1755-1759, while those to the west burned again in 1864, though a few remnants of the 18th century stands remain among them. This region of the BWCA escaped damage in the 4th of July windstorms of 1999, which caused such extensive tree loss to the south and east.
CampsitesGreen supports one established campsite, along its eastern shore in a fine grove of Red Pine (Pinus resinosa).
Planning ConsiderationsGreen is a link in the Gebeonequet/Oyster route, which runs south from the mouth of Gebeonequet Creek on Pocket Creek, through Gebeonequet, Green, and Rocky lakes, to Oyster. There it connects with the east/west Pauness/Boulder Bay route, which heads north and east out of Upper and Lower Pauness on the Little Indian Sioux River through Shell, Little Shell, Lynx, Ruby, Hustler, Oyster, and Lake Agnes, to Boulder Bay on Lac La Croix. Green also provides the best access to Pekan.
WildlifeGreen Lake supports populations of Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), Green Sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus), Northern Pike (Esox lucius), White Sucker (Catostomus commersoni), and Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens).

Windows® 7 Service Configuration
A computer program or process that runs in the background of Windows 7 and that provides support to other program can be called services. If you want to speed up the performance of Windows 7 and thereby reduce the overhead of background process, then stop the running process that you are not using currently. But if you disable a service that you are currently using, it may lower the performance of your computer. A large collection of services is there; among them, some of the standard Windows 7 services are back ground intelligent transfer service, base filtering engine, Bluetooth support service, Cryptographic services etc. These services are all from svchost.exe service. With the use of services configuration, a Windows installer can customize the services in your computer. It also uses service install tables, service controls, and actions like install services, stop services, and delete services to install, stop, start, and delete services at the time of installation. The Windows installer 5.0 running on Windows 7 has been launched with the service configuration tables and standard actions. The Windows 7 installer cannot configure network service accounts, install shared service host processes, or restart or stop services during installation time.
Discussed below are roles and uses of Windows 7 services configuration and tips to use it:
- Roles
- Uses
- How to use services configuration
Services are some program or process that helps other programs for performing their functions and which also has its own specific functions. Some of the standard Windows 7 services are the following: Application Experience services, Application Identity Services, Application Information Services, Software Installation Services, Windows Audio Services, ActiveX Installer Service, BDE Services, COM+Resources, Event Logging Services, and Group Policy Client API.
Windows service is used for monitoring actions like disc or memory access. Windows 7 windows services would not work in user mode. It gets started along with the computer's restart and is used for security, printing, Internet connectivity etc. In addition to that, it supports other programs running on the system. A large number of Windows 7 services are running under svchost.exe process name. Any change made to one of the services would be applied to all the user accounts in the computer.
Windows 7 Services Configuration by Black Viper provides information about different levels of recommendations for disabling the service. It is to be kept in mind that one must create a restore point before changing the services. If you have made any mistake while changing the configuration, that would cripple your computer and then you can do a System Restore using the restore point to undo the changes.

OK. Here is the section in the owners manual that has instructions for closing the top manually. You may only need to get it to move enough to secure the cargo divider, if not you need to move it all the way up. Good luck and please ask if I can help you more.
If your vehicle has a power loss, such as a dead battery, you can still raise the top manually by doing the following:
Find the hydraulic pump under the carpet on the rear driver's side of the trunk. Open the valve by turning it counterclockwise with your hand until it stops.
Notice: Pressing the retractable hardtop button when the hydraulic pump valve is open could damage the pump. Always close the hydraulic pump valve after the retractable hardtop has been closed manually.
While holding the rear of the top down, insert the wrench into the bolt in the plug opening in the headliner. Turn the wrench counterclockwise until it stops to fully open the latch jaws around the pins.
If the vehicle has lost battery power, you can still open the trunk using the key.
The key cylinder is located behind a cover on the lower rear fascia on the driver's side of the vehicle. Use the key to pry open the door to access the key cylinder.

I am a fan of the rock band Talking Heads. Not only their music, but their lyrics. Some of which I find incredibly provocative to this day. Actually – most of them are ahead of their time and almost only starting to make sense to me now almost 30 years on.
One song called Seen & not seen is almost spooky. At no time in history have we been able to transform ourselves like we can now. Both socially and intellectually. As entrepreneurs – that's our journey. Becoming an entrepreneur is all about social and economic evolution as a person. it's about unlearning the lessons of school and previous jobs we've held. But more so it's about having a vision and transforming our mind, and maybe, just maybe our physical disposition.
Read these lyrics – and just think about it. I'm not trying to be weird – rather to open your mind.
He would see faces in movies, on t.v., in magazines and in books….
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him….and
Through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his
Mind….or somewhere in the back of his mind….that he might, by
Force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal….the
Change would be very subtle….it might take ten years or so….
Gradually his face would change its shape….a more hooked nose…
Wider, thinner lips….beady eyes….a larger forehead.
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
People….they had also molded their faced according to some
Ideal….maybe they imagined that their new face would better
Suit their personality….or maybe they imagined that their
Personality would be forced to change to fit the new appearance….
this is why first impressions are often correct…
Although some people might have made mistakes….they may have
Arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them….
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
Whim, or momentary impulse….some may have gotten half-way
There, and then changed their minds.
This song is worth a listen to as well if you can find it on itunes or the net.

This week's installment of the Garden Party features some new artists on the scene. That said, if you've been enjoying what Shawn Peters has been curating, I'd say trust him on this one, too. Additionally, Manchild Black DJs sounds straight from the Hype Life, and there's a special screening of Tanya Hamilton's Night Catches Us.
Willis Earl Beal is one of those singers who sounds older than he is. There's that old soul-singer, southern bluesman quality about his voice. It's that similar growl that Ricky Fante or Sharon Jones has. While working a low-wage job in Albequerque, New Mexico, he began recording and leaving CD-Rs of his music around town. Folks heard it and, long story short, he was signed to a division of XL Recordings. Nice ending, given that he had a history of severe health problems and was, for a time, homeless. You can read more about him here. His debut album, Acousmatic Sorcery was released in April. Here's the album's first single, "Evening's Kiss":
Tomorrow's show is all about singer-songwriters, so Krystle Warren is a perfect addition to this bill. The Kansas City, Missouri-born musician, singer-songwriter and (as she notes) budding activist, has traveled and lived extensively, counting NYC, LA, SF and Paris as stays. An expressive performer, been embraced by the English folk scene and has had the opportunity to tour with the likes of Rufus Wainwright and Joan As Policewoman. There's that quality about her music that's pure, clean and heartfelt. Here's a behind-the-scenes video of the making of her double album, Love Songs: A Time You May Embrace, which was released earlier this year.

We'll say one thing for the DC powers-that-be: they gave Gail Simone enough of a heads-up about the reboot that she's actually able to orchestrate some kind of grand finale for Secret Six, one of the best things the DCoU had going for it. Sure, it'll be a bit rushed since she has to pack it into two issues, but at least she'll get to fill it with ominous portents of doom, which started back when last we left this team of malcontents – or as Bane refers to his team in Secret Six #35, "a failed phalanx of broken individuals."
After the last issue, this team seemed destined to go out in some kind of crazy blaze of glory, and now we find out that blaze will take the form of a pointy-eared cowl. Bane, it seems, has not only returned to the venom drug that defined his early existence, but has also reawakened his desire to break the Batman after discovering he is destined to go to Hell and his experience with the woman he "had earmarked for sexual congress" have shifted his entire worldview. He now sees himself as "the next Bonaparte" and wants to lead the Six into battle to truly break the Bat by breaking not his spine, but everyone he loves. A perfect DCU Waterloo.
Of course, there's some resistance to the idea, since this team is usually a work-for-hire situation, and this particular phalanx's personal problems lend themselves to making sure this is going to be a Waterloo situation. Jeannette smells the death all around them, so she's got the most impetus to question the wisdom here. Deadshot has a history of pulling his shots around Batman, and a while back, we learned that something in Floyd Lawton's mind has begun to equate the Bat to his older brother Eddie (the better brother, and the one Floyd accidentally killed). Catman vetoes Bane's attempts to target the Huntress, since he has a thing for her that he refuses to indulge. Scandal Savage has concerns about going after kids like Batgirl and Robin, but she's also distracted with her chilling experiences with Knockout, who has just returned from a long stay in Hell and no longer has any sense of herself after all that torment. Despite the badass bravado the Six showed during their visit to Hell, Knockout's cold and deadly detachment proves that no matter how tough Bane talks, this is how every last one of these ne'er-do-wells would have really ended up had they stayed.
None of that stops them from actually going along with it, although Jeannette's continued questioning might indicate that the bonds between the Six which we thought were solidified after the sojourn to the netherworlds may become as tenuous as they ever were the further they get from the intensity of that experience – not that there's much time to explore that possibility, since this is the penultimate issue of the whole series. Thankfully, here we get a tremendously fun bunch of loony King Shark action as he leads the charge in the Six's raid to forcibly induct the Penguin and his impressive intellect and integral intelligence into their service, as well as Knockout's re-emergence from her nightmares thanks to the glory of combat – which makes perfect sense, given her Apokoliptic origins. Simone's Penguin is pretty impressive, actually, both in verbosity and in being badass enough to stand up to an hour of Bane's "enhanced interrogation."
J. Calafiore's art is just like it always is – at times impressive and wonderful, at other times kind of awkward and blocky, but always with enough going for it that you don't spend too much time picking at it. It's mostly Simone's mixed-up, wrong-side-of-whatever-side-you-want-them-on band of dysfunctional criminals and how they try to relate to each other – sometimes with constant coitus like Floyd and Jeannette, and sometimes with pointless fisticuffs like Catman and Bane – that makes this series so consistently compelling, fun, surprising and just plain enjoyable, and losing it is the biggest crime the DCnU is going to have to answer for.
Especially since it's being replaced with this.

Crestfallen Mike Burke at Birdsfan.com shares his thoughts about the Giants win over his beloved Eagles.
I must say that going into the weekend, this was a match-up I really liked for the Eagles. The Giants weren't a team that seemed overly impressive, but I had to eat my words as the Giants really stuck it to the Eagles on their home turf.
This seemed like a game that both sides could really get up for, but the Eagles looked pretty flat. When Steve Smith forgot that he actually plays for the Eagles now and gave the Giants the ball early, I had a really bad feeling about where this game was heading. However, the Eagles did start to bounce back a little bit in the second quarter to give me a little hope.
There were two things that really killed the Eagles on Sunday: red zone offense and big plays. I have to tell you, I've never been as negative about Andy Reid as a lot of other people in Philadelphia. He's had his issues over the years, but he's always put together a competitive team. My feelings about Reid really changed dramatically on Sunday. The play calling was absolutely horrific. It's embarrassing that your everyday fan immediately recognizes how awful the calls are, but your coach makes them anyway.
To top that, he was absolutely horrific in his post-game press conference. We don't expect a whole lot out of Reid in his press conferences and were pretty use to him saying he has to put his players in a better position to make plays when they lose. However, we received none of that this week. He was very short, cutting off reporters, and taking a pretty early exit. I understand being upset after a loss, but stand up there and take it like a man.
Defensively, it was a pretty disgusting effort. The Giants average touchdown length was 40 yards. As I already noted, big plays killed the Eagles. They couldn't tackle. Players failed to step up and make a play. In most cases, the defense didn't even have to make a great play. Making a routine play would have prevented just about all these touchdowns.
Then, to top Reid's press conference, Vick comes out and throws a hissy fit which he basically tried to retract on Monday. I understand the frustration and maybe you don't get some of the calls that you should, but do you think publicly bad mouthing referees is going to be beneficial to you in the future? I'd think it would only make things worse. I love Vick as the Eagles quarterback, but I think some things are better left not said.
Overall, it was one of the most disappointing losses I've seen in a while. Everything from the execution of plays to the play calls themselves were horrible.


text: I was originally waiting for discounts to be released to book AOA suite for our two night stay in March. I am now soooo confused between either going big and doing AKV 1 bedroom or going the other way and doing CBR for soooo much cheaper. There will be me, DH, DD5, DD4, and DD 8 months. We are planning on getting there the 4th, doing MK the 5th and we leave the 6th so is it really worth it to spend that much money and not really be there that much?? Both time we have done week stays we have stayed at Bonnet Creek and we love the resort and spacious rooms but I have convinced Dh to stay onsite for this quick trip so now I am sooo confused. Ideas, suggestions, would be great! I have BBB booked and ADRs booked but cannot decide on resort and I am worried that things will be busy next week when deals are released as we are going the week before march break.
