Huge Comeback Falls Just Short As Saints Fall 7-6 To Goldeyes
ST. PAUL, MN June 27, 2016
The St. Paul Saints have the belief that no deficit is too big. On Monday night they nearly pulled off the most impressive comeback in many years as they trailed 7-0 after three innings, stormed back with five in the eighth, but came up a run short, losing 7-6 to the Winnipeg Goldeyes at CHS Field in front of 7,737.
With the Saints trailing 7-1 in the bottom of the eighth and Goldeyes starter Kevin McGovern still on the mound and allowing just two hits up to that point, Willie Argo led off with an infield single to third. With one out Chad Christensen doubled to left which moved Argo to third. Maxx Garrett's grounder to short went under the glove of Mikael Gonzalez for an error and Argo scored to make it 7-2. Breland Almadova made it 7-3 with an RBI single to center. Tanner Vavra doubled down the left field line to score a pair of runs and make it 7-5. After Nate Hanson grounded out to third, Angelo Songco singled to left scoring Vavra and making it 7-6. Tony Thomas came through with a single to left, putting runners at first and second with two outs, but McGovern got Argo to strike out to end the inning. The Saints would go quietly in the ninth against Kyle Anderson.
The Saints dug a deep hole early as the Goldeyes scored five runs of their own in the second. Against starter John Straka, Jacob Rogers led off with a double and Casio Grider walked. A sacrifice moved the two runners up to second and third. Tanner Murphy's blooper to center scored Rogers to make it 1-0. Gonzalez' infield single to third scored Grider to make it 2-0. Wes Darvill loaded the bases with a single. A sacrifice fly by David Rohm made it 3-0. An RBI single by Josh Romanski and an RBI double from Reggie Abercrombie made it 5-0.
The Goldeyes scored a pair in the third when Ridge Hoopii-Haslam and Murphy walked with one out. Gonzalez singled to load the bases. After a strikeout to Darvill, Rohm singled to center driving home two to make it 7-0. Straka went 5.0 innings allowing seven runs on 10 hits while walking four and striking out five.
Zac Westcott did a tremendous job out of the bullpen to keep the Saints in the game. He went 3.2 shutout innings allowing one hit.
The Saints got their first run in the sixth when Christensen reached on a three base error as Abercrombie had a fly ball go off his glove in right-center. Christensen would score on an Almadova groundout.
The Saints begin a three game series against the Sioux Falls Canaries on Tuesday night at 7:05 p.m. The Saints are TBA while the Canaries send RHP Shawn Blackwell (3-3, 6.60) to the mound. The Saints celebrate Animal House presented by Weidner Apartment Homes. The game can be seen on the Saints Cable Network, cable access channels in the Twin Cities, and heard on Club 1220 KLBB.

Races shaping up
Kevin Saleeba / News Staff Writer
MILFORD -- Nine more people, including seven incumbents, have filed nomination papers to run for public office.
Residents have until Tuesday, Feb. 17, to file nomination papers for the Monday, April 5 town election.
Seven people have already filed papers. The newest candidates include incumbents John Speroni and Emilio Diotalevi and newcomer John Pilla. They are seeking one, three-year term as a constable. There are five available slots. Speroni is also seeking re-election for one, three-year term on the Board of Assessors.
Richard Cenedella is running for re-election for a three-year term on the sewer commission; incumbent Art Morin is looking to serve another three-year term on the park commission; Marilyn Lovell is vying for re-election for a three-year term as a trustee of the Vernon Grove Cemetery; and incumbent Barbara Auger is looking to reclaim her three-year seat as treasurer.
Paul Mazzuchelli is also seeking re-election to a three-year seat on the housing authority, while newcomer Ken Evans is looking to fill the four-year unexpired term of Mike Diorio, who recently resigned.
Earlier this week, Margaret Myatt took out nomination papers for re-election to the Board of Library Trustees. Gerald Hennessey returned his nomination papers for Board of Health.
Another incumbent filing is School Committee member Jose Costa.
School Committee Vice Chairman Jose Costa returned his nomination papers to the town clerk's office a few weeks ago. Costa is seeking re-election to a second term.
Library Trustee Robert Delmore is running for one of two School Committee seats up for grabs. Delmore took out nomination papers for both the Board of Library Trustees and the School Committee.
Residents will elect two School Committee members in April. Jose Costa has pulled nomination papers to return for a second three-year term while Rosemary Cerqueira has announced she will not seek re-election.
In other races, Selectman Brian Murray has made his bid for another term official by filing nomination papers with Town Clerk Joseph Arcudi, who has himself filed as a constable.
Planning Board member Joseph Calagione has also returned papers seeking another term while Anthony Brenna filed papers to remain a trustee of Vernon Grove Cemetery and as a constable.


MEXICO CITY — The next Morten Andersen might be a linebacker for the Edmonton Eskimos.
Or a defensive lineman for the Toronto Argonauts.
Lars Carlsen hopes to see it happen soon. He's the president of the Danish American Football Federation, and he can barely contain his excitement over the possibility of a partnership with the Canadian Football League.
He and representatives from four-down football associations in Finland, Sweden and Norway will meet with CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie on Feb. 7 in Helsinki. It's another phase of Ambrosie's ambitious CFL 2.0 global outreach, which has brought the league here for a combine and player draft this weekend.
"We could do something similar in Europe, a combine for players who want to go straight from Europe to the CFL," said Carlsen. "Sometime in the future. I don't know when. Mexico may be ahead of us in the football world but we have guys who played in the NFL. We have Danish guys now on the college side, in Division 1, maybe one of those guys will make it to the NFL, but a lot of those guys won't make it.
"I could see those guys playing in the CFL. That would be a great opportunity if there was a spot for two or three or four global players.
Carlsen knows the CFL game up close, having served as a guest coach for the B.C. Lions last year. He's also a former offensive lineman who fell in love with four-down football after seeing Andersen on Danish TV in the 1980s. Andersen still owns the NFL record for games played at 382, and he's a Pro Football Hall of Famer.
"Here was this famous player who used to be a soccer player in Denmark, he went on to college and was drafted by the Saints and had a great career," said Carlsen. "I thought, what is this American football? What is this game all about?
"I started to follow it on TV. I got the hang of it and thought this is the game for me. It's a physical and tough game but it's a tactical game at the same time. It has all the aspects I like to see in sports.
He was a six-foot-one, 270-pound guard and centre who played the game strictly at the amateur level in his native Denmark. He got on in age and eased into coaching, starting with a one-year volunteer stint at Wagner College in New York. Decades later he's still at it. The Lions' gig came about from a long-time friendship with then B.C. special teams coach Jeff Reinebold. They knew each other from NFL Europe.
He's looking forward to exactly that kind of exchange coming out of a relationship between his federation and the CFL.

The Importance of One
Biblical Unity Versus Divine Invitation Theology
I therefore, a prisoner for the L-rd, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call - one L-rd, one faith, one baptism, one G-d and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Messiah's gift.
Audio discussion for this teaching
The Messianic Movement is divided over an issue that divided believers in the First Century – Gentile-inclusion
Recently, a Messianic teaching and publishing group revised their views regarding the Gentile's relationship to the Torah. In an apparent attempt to soften their change of position, they wrapped it into what they called "A Divine Invitation."
Divine Invitation Theology (DIT) uses Acts 15 as its proof text, in an attempt to explain that Gentiles are only "obligated" to the "moral" commandments, plus the "four prohibitions" of Acts 15:20; 29; and 21:25.
On the other hand, DIT proposes that the remaining commandments of the Torah are an obligation to "Jews."
This new theology opens up a First Century debate, but not the debate the proponents of DIT think. It is not the debate of what Gentiles must do (as opposed to what Jews must do); but rather, can Gentiles be considered part of the covenant people of G-d - can Gentiles be a part of Israel?
Biblical identity is always framed in what someone does. HaShem introduces Himself to us in the Torah by telling us what He does. He is the Creator: He created all. He is a Friend: He walks with man. He is the Judge: He unequivocally maintains His standard of righteousness. He is a Covenant Maker: He unilaterally strikes covenant with those of His choosing. He is the Covenant Keeper: He remembers His promises across generations.
Having different standards of righteousness (different covenant obligations) directly impacts identity. Consider the classical identities:
Christianity and Judaism both say: Jews who follow "Jesus" become "Christians" and are no longer obligated to the Torah
Christianity and Judaism both say: Gentiles who "convert to" Judaism become Jews and now are obligated to the Torah ("the whole Law")
DIT says: Jews who follow Messiah keep moral plus the "Jewish" parts of the Law; Gentiles who follow Messiah keep only the "moral parts of the Law" plus four additional prohibitions – and both groups can easily be identified by what they do.
The History of Gentile-Inclusion in the Modern Messianic Movement
When the modern Messianic movement emerged from the Jewish evangelism organizations, much to the dismay of some of its Jewish leaders, the majority of congregations were Gentiles. Not only that, the Gentiles were adopting a Torah lifestyle, making them look "Jewish."
To some of these leaders, the Torah was merely a cultural identity. Some still operated within the dispensational mindset, where there was no covenant obligation of keeping the commandments. But rather as a matter of ethnic identity, it was important to retain elements of a Torah lifestyle for the sake of "Jewish identity."
While others considered that the Torah observance was a covenantal obligation for Jewish people. This group saw Gentiles participating in Torah observance as a threat in their desire to be more accepted within normative Judaism, which has an extremely negative view of Gentiles living according to the Torah.
DIT proponents, apparently in a move to appeal to a broader category within the Messianic movement, because their shift in theology, have now found much greater acceptance within certain camps of Messianic Judaism who have been opposed to "One Law Theology."
Acts 15: The Birth of Christianity?
Classical Christianity has seen Acts 15 as the theological shift in the thinking of the Apostles, that eventually gave the "Church" its distinct identity – no longer seen as a "Jewish" entity – but a "Christian" entity.
In reinterpreting Acts 15 as they have, DIT proponents have gone back to this tired, and demonstrably false view of what occurred in Acts 15.
Resting upon a wrong view of what the Apostles did in Acts 15, DIT undermines the inspired Torah.
Roman Catholicism uses Acts 15 as evidence for its doctrine of Apostolic Succession. This teaching says that Jesus gave Peter the leadership of "the Church" – along with it, the authority to make, modify, and abolish divine law. This leadership and its authority are then passed to subsequent leaders through modern times.
The Protestant Reformation repudiated parts of "Apostolic Succession" – but still held that the Apostles continued to modifying "the law" as they had observed Jesus do.
Both Catholicism and Protestantism assume that the Apostles could make new law – and they read Acts 15 that way. DIT falls into this serious error.
Only three possibilities for Acts 15 exist:
The Apostles were given the authority to make new law
Acts 15 simply records the Apostles' actions, which were not authorized by G-d (much like the accounts throughout Scripture, where men made the wrong choice, but it is recorded for us for our edification).
Acts 15 requires greater historical context to correctly understand it. The traditional (and DIT) interpretation of Acts 15 is incorrect. This is our view.
Who is Israel?
A response to the insidiousness of Hellenism, which appeared in the Third Century BCE, Judaism sought to make "Jewish" identity more well-defined.
With Hellenism, cultural identity markers began to disappear. Jews increasingly looked and acted less like "Jews." Too many Gentiles living in the Land made identifying covenant members (Israel) all the more difficult.
The Maccabean Revolt (~ 160 BCE) made "Jewish identify" one of survival. The covenant mark of circumcision became the cultural mark of community loyalty.
From the Second Century BCE on, circumcision became the cultural identity marker for those Gentiles who wanted to be a part of the covenant community (Israel). After that time, Gentiles had to undergo ritual conversion to Judaism to be considered a part of the covenant community (Israel). This ritual conversion consisted of:
Agreement to live by both Torahs (Oral and Written), i.e. the "Whole Torah"
Ritual circumcision (for males)
Ritual ablution [immersion]
Pay Temple tax
This ritual was given the short-hand of what was seen as the most identifying mark – the enduring mark of loyalty to the community: "circumcision."
All those who were born of a Jewish father, or had undergone ritual conversion were identified as Israel – and members of the covenant community.
Acts 15:1, 5
Acts 15:1; 5: a Pharisee faction of believers were advocating that all Gentiles undergo ritual conversion to Judaism in order to "be saved." They correctly saw that there was only one people of G-d. They understood the Scriptural promises were only given to "Israel" - however, they assumed that they only way for a Gentile to become a part of Israel was through the traditional and man-made ritual conversion process called "circumcision" – but remember, this is not the same thing as the commandment of circumcision in the Torah – which was not used to join anything – but simply a mark of the covenant. Although the Pharisee point is understandable, it was grounded in a traditional (and incorrect) view of who is Israel.
In the Torah, there are numerous references to the ger toshav [sojourner who dwells among you]. The ger was always considered a part of Israel, not by ritual, but by simple fidelity to the G-d of Israel. Throughout the Torah, many of the commandments are given not as identity markers for physical descendants or Jacob, but rather as the righteous standard for all Israel – both the descendants of Jacob, and the gerim that dwelled among them.
Numbers 15:13-16: One Torah – for all Israel, both native-born and Gentile. Even making offerings in the Tabernacle. Gentiles were to have access into the very Presence of HaShem.
Proselutos: "Proselyte" or "One Who Came Over"?
About 270 BCE, a group of 70 Jewish scholars translated the TaNaKh into Greek. The Septuagint (LXX) is a remarkably valuable translation because it can give us insights into the original Hebrew text. It was likely the Bible used by the majority of early believers – especially the Gentiles.
Because the word ger simply means "sojourner," and does not always identify a covenant member, the LXX translators carefully examined the context of each usage. If the context of the word ger was referring to a covenant member they used the Greek word proselutos. This was a word that they created for this purpose, much like modern English speakers make new meanings by joining words by hyphen. They took pros [toward] and joined it to erxomai [to come] to indicate those Gentiles who had "come toward" and joined the covenant people. Over time, this word came to indicate those who converted to any other religion. It is where we get the word "proselyte" from.
Acts 15:5-11
The Pharisees saw all the Gentiles entering their congregations and immediately recognized the problem. First, the rest of Judaism would see these "unconverted" Gentiles not as covenant members, but as dangerous and unclean usurpers. Also, how could they be sure that these former idolaters were loyal to the covenant?
In their minds, it was a small matter for all these Gentiles to fulfill the culturally accepted ritual conversion process (remember, "circumcision" and "keep the whole law" were used to refer to this man-made process). This same matter had come up with the Gentiles in Galatia.
Paul, the insightful Torah scholar, understood that the identity of the covenant community members could never be founded upon a man-made ritual.
Peter remembers his vision in Acts 10. HaShem accepts all, not on the basis of man-made rules such as the Talmudic "Eighteen Measures" (not the Torah, see Shabbat 13b ff) which defined Gentiles as "unclean."
Acts 15:10: What is the Yoke that Cannot be Borne?
The classical Christian explanation of Acts 15:10 is that the "yoke" is the "burden of the Law."
DIT makes a baffling error in siding with the traditional Christian explanation – identifying the yoke as the Torah. While it is true that the word "yoke" is often used in Rabbinic language to refer to the Torah, it is also used to refer to the interpretative rules that a Rabbi expects of his disciples.
Is the Torah a burden?
Deuteronomy 30:10-14: It is not too hard
1John 5:2-3: The commandments are not burdensome
Ezekiel 20:25-26: When men refuse to obey the simple instructions of HaShem, He turns them over to man-made instructions that are ever more demanding, and do not give life.
Peter, the one who had the vision in Acts 10, knows that the burden is in man-made rules such as the "Eighteen Measures" that placed division between Jew and Gentile.
The "Four Prohibitions"
Acts 15:20: Do these comprise new commandments? DIT, by applying these distinctly to Gentiles, have taken the traditional Christian explanation (which has difficulty with the Apostles making new law).
Deuteronomy 4:1-2: Do not add to, or take away
Deuteronomy 12:32-13:10: If the Apostles added or took away, they were false prophets.
Ezekiel 33:25-26: These same commandments are evident in HaShem's list of Israel's failings. These are not new – they are reiterations from the Torah.
These four prohibitions are broad categories that give a basic outline of the Torah. Instead of resorting to the unbiblical division of the Torah into "moral, ritual, civil" as traditional Christianity and DIT does (for the purpose of not keeping "some" of them) – these categories are meant to promote obedience to all the commandments.
The Key Verse
Acts 15:20-21: These four prohibitions give an outline of righteous living, in much the same way that traditional Judaism give a starting place.
Acts 15:21: This goes back to the real identity of the ger toshav (the Gentile covenant member), they are a part of Israel. They are learning the Torah alongside the native-born. All Israel together.
How Gentiles Become A Part of Israel
Ephesians 2:1-10: By grace, through faith. Not by ethnic origin. Not by man-made ritual.
Ephesians 2:11-12: Former Gentiles (but not any longer!) – aliens of the politeia [citizenship] of Israel and strangers of the covenants of promise.
Politeia is not "commonwealth" as used in English today! It refers to citizenship – having all the rights and responsibilities of the citizens of a community. It is making a direct reference to being a part of the covenant community – Israel.
Apart from HaShem's gracious work – none of us had any hope!
Ephesians 2:13: Those far off ("Eighteen Measures") are brought near (original meaning of proselutos).
Ephesians 2:14-16: Abolishing the dividing wall – those man-made rules [dogma] that keep Jew and Gentile separate ["Eighteen Measures"].
Ephesians 2:17-21: Not just peace between an individual and HaShem, but equally important, peace in the household of G-d - the covenant community, Israel. Gentiles are fellow citizens [sumpolites], having the same covenant rights and obligations.
The Mystery – One Body
Ephesians 3:1-6: This is the way the Torah always intended it – Gentiles are fellowheirs.
What is the "One Body"? There is only one people of G-d. It is Israel.
An equality in citizenship does not exist when there are different citizenship rights and obligations. Not only does sociology teach this, the Scriptures themselves teach this.
When DIT, traditional Christianity, traditional Judaism, and others seek to divide Jew and Gentile, no matter the reason, it is an attack on the very plan of HaShem.
One King, One People, One Torah: Echad
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one.

Global law firm Baker McKenzie has successfully acted for Dubai Islamic Bank in its defence of a $2 billion claim brought against it in the English Commercial Court by Plantation Holdings, a company owned by an Argentinian property developer.
The claim was based on allegations of breach of contract and breach of the bank's duties as mortgagee in possession of a 20 million square foot plot of land on the outskirts of Dubai, which Plantation had planned to develop into a high-end luxury lifestyle and equestrian complex, a statement said.
It added that the bank took security over the project as part of the restructuring of a $500 million debt owed to it as a result of a complex receivables financing fraud.
The case was heard in an eight week trial, with Mr Justice Picken ruling that Plantation's principal director had "made up" evidence and that another of Plantation's witnesses had "manufactured" documents.
Baker McKenzie also said that the bank was ordered to pay nominal damages, calculated in the sum of £1 while Plantation has been ordered to pay 70 percent of the bank's costs on the indemnity basis.
Plantation was also refused permission to appeal, the statement said.
London-based partner Hugh Lyons said: "This is a great result for our client in a major litigation case, which is among the most significant and most complex commercial disputes in the market. This a great validation of the work done by the Baker McKenzie team, who successfully navigated the substantial value of the claim, and the complex issues in the case."
He added that the nature of the case also resulted in examining the volatility of the Dubai property market and the functionality of its property registration system, as well as the Dubai authorities' approach to financial misconduct.
It also raised questions as to the interplay between English, Dubai and Sharia law in financing transactions.

That addictive puzzler Tetris – created 25 years ago by Russian Alexey Pajitnov – has a legitimate claim to being the videogame that conquered the world A colorized remake of the game was released on the Game Boy Color entitled Tetris DX ( テトリス デラックス , Tetorisu Derakkusu). A Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console version of Tetris was released in December 2011 and lacks the multiplayer… Tetris has been subject to many changes throughout releases since the 1980s. Newer Tetris games have emphasized pace rather than endurance.
Tetris is leading all the other games when it comes to sales. I attached a copy of the top 10 best selling games, how many they've sold, and their release dates Earlier this year, another sealed copy of Stadium Events sold on eBay for three games—Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer, and Tetris—all within a six-minute time limit.. There was no box and no instruction manual, but the game label did have a The story went that Atari had so many unsold copies of E.T. that they had no With news of a Tetris movie finally hitting, we look back at the startling story Mirrorsoft was one of many computer software companies started up in the British The problem was, so did several other influential industry figures across Bulletproof Software, which planned to sell Tetris in Japan, without realising that 19 May 2019 Minecraft Has Sold 176 Million Copies Worldwide With Minecraft's intense popularity for many years now, it's not surprising that the These sales figures surpass Tetris' success, at least when compared to numbers that 17 May 2019 Microsoft announced that it has sold 176 million copies of Minecraft, quite a big hop over the 156 million figure they revealed just seven months 17 May 2019 In bigger news, Minecraft has sold more than twice as many copies as Wii Sports. Because Wii Sports shipped with every Wii, excluding a few, 9 Nov 2018 Having passed 100 million copies sold in the past few months, it's the It's hard to quantify exactly how many copies have been sold of "Tetris.
The series focuses on many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. Upon release, the game was met with a mixed reception, and EA sold one million fewer copies than their expected figure of 7.3 million.

Thank you for supporting my campaign for the Washington House of Representatives. While I'm disappointed by the primary result, I congratulate Mike Volz and fully support him in the general election.
I ran to represent the 6th District because I am excited about the future of Spokane and I want to help make our community stronger. There is still more to be done—to bring more jobs to Spokane, ensure everyone has the opportunity for a great education, and make our community safer—and I will do all I can to help.
When I started this campaign I promised to work hard to connect with voters. I'm proud that our team knocked on over 20,000 doors, and I'm extremely humbled by the generous support of donors in this community.
Running for office requires a lot of hard work and perseverance. While it was not easy, I look back on the last three months as some of the best. I am so grateful for the many people who helped me and the people I met who shared with me their ideas and hopes for our community.
I look forward to working together toward a bright future for Spokane.

 NIOSHTIC-2 Publications Search - 20020602 - Performance characteristics of the button personal inhalable aerosol sampler.
Performance characteristics of the button personal inhalable aerosol sampler.
The button inhalable aerosol sampler with a curved porous inlet recently was developed and evaluated as a stationary sampler in the laboratory and in the field. The present study focused on investigating its suitability for personal inhalable aerosol sampling. The button sampler was tested at two wind velocities (0.5 and 2.0 m/sec), three particle sizes (7, 29, and 70 microm) and three orientations to the wind (0, 90, and 180 degrees). The performance characteristics of the button sampler were compared with those of three other personal samplers--the IOM (Institute of Occupational Medicine), GSP, and 37-mm closed-face filter cassette. The experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel with the samplers mounted on a full-size manikin. The direction-specific sampling efficiency of the button sampler was found to be essentially independent of the wind direction and dependent on the wind velocity to a much smaller degree than that of the three other samplers. When direction-averaged, the fit of its sampling efficiency curve to the inhalability curve was found to be better than that of the 37-mm closed-face cassette, comparable with that of the GSP sampler, and less than that of the IOM sampler. The precision of the button sampler was found to be generally equal to or better than the precision of the comparison samplers. It was concluded that the button sampler can be successfully used as a personal inhalable aerosol sampler.

We all know that the active cultures in yogurt can help keep you regular. But not every spoiled milk product has the bowel-blasting power of Activia. It's the same way with horror movies. Some get the job done, some leave you stranded on the porcelain, but in this year's Halloween special, Jeff and Scott identify two films that go do that voodoo that horror films are supposed to do. And they're not afraid to name names.
MUSIC NOTE: The opening theme is from the OST, not Anthology. Jeff regrets the error, because it was totally his fault, not Scott's.

While I sit around and not work on my NaNo project and not blog, I'll still think of my readers and share this not-an-actual-commercial for Trader Joe's, a place I never shop at but which seems like a place I should.
I stole the video from my my awesome totally personal and bestest friend ever and he totally knows me and didn't just pose for a picture with me when he was in town, Wil Wheaton and his blog post about W00tstock.
OK, back to not writing. Ciao, bellas!


In one camp we have the long, slow, distance approach or LSD for short. LSD is all about selecting an exercise and performing it for extended periods of time at a comfortable pace. Heart rate is kept around 60% of maximum so you are slightly out of breath but comfortable for the duration of your workout. You can chat to anyone nearby should you so choose and almost all of the energy you are using is coming from fat being burnt. LSD is almost 100% aerobic (meaning with oxygen) and very little lactic acid will be produced in your muscles so it's quite comfortable to perform. On the downside, although fat is the main source of energy in LSD type exercise, you won't be burning much of it as our body's are very efficient at making fat go a long way.
In the other camp we have interval training which describes periods of high-intensity exercise alternated with periods of rest e.g. sprinting for 60 seconds, walking for 120 seconds, repeated 5 times. Interval training is more anaerobic (without oxygen) than LSD and generally tougher to do as there is lots of lactic acid produced which can be uncomfortable. However, the production of lactic acid produces an effect called EPOC (Excessive Post exercise Oxygen Consumption) which means that after the workout has finished the body uses oxygen at an elevated rate to clear out the lactic acid in your blood. This means more calories are burnt even though your workouts will be shorter when compared to LSD.
Interval training wins hands down for economy of training time but LSD training is certainly less demanding. The answer is probably to do a mixture of the 2 and get the best of both worlds!


H.A.L.T. This common acronym in recovery programs has now made inroads into the everyday language of our society. It stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, and Tired; Being aware of this simple acronym can help us to keep our behaviors in check. When we are experiencing any one of these temptations, oftentimes destructive behaviors take over. So this powerful tool reminds us to avoid being hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.
Scripture itself gives us a beautiful example of this in Matthew 4:1-11. If you are not familiar with this passage, I strongly recommend that you read it. In preparation for the beginning of His three-year journey to the cross and all the suffering that would entail, not only taking on himself all the physical pain but also the emotional pain of taking on all the sins of the world, Jesus was led into the wilderness where he remained for 40 days and 40 nights.
When His time of communion with the Father had finished, He emerged. We can well imagine that after fasting for 40 days, Jesus was probably hungry and in a physically weakened state.
It was at this time that the devil attacked him–at one of his weakest moments. The devil is always opportunistic and preys on us with the most useful of tools in his arsenal—temptation. "The tempter" is just one of the names given to satan. To best understand the enemy, we would be wise to know his names and the characteristics attributed to him.
Let's start at the beginning. Satan is a spiritual being, one of only three angels mentioned in scripture.
The other two are Michael, the Archangel; and Gabriel, God's messenger.
His primary purpose is to separate God's creations from their rightful place with their loving God, the God of love.
So the first thing the devil tempts us with is a physical need, one that all of us can relate to—physical hunger. What we would not do to just eat sometimes. Out in the wilderness where there are no bakeries, the devil throws this request at Jesus. "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." It was a brazen statement taunting Jesus to use His divine power in a self-serving way after 40 days of fasting. Jesus answers the "tempter," showing us we need to take on the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. In this passage of scripture, generally referred to as "the armor of God," the sword, or Word, is the only offensive weapon mentioned.
Now, how many of us, whilst praying or meditating on God's Word, find our thoughts wandering to selfish physical needs or desires? How many of us, when hungry, have done or said things that are not in keeping with the Spirit-filled life we are seeking?
The next word in the acronym is "anger." Though it does not specifically state in scripture that Jesus got angry, I am going to take the liberty here for the purpose of shedding light on our H.A.L.T. acronym. How would you feel after 40 days without physical sustenance if you were confronted with your enemy trying to get you to do something that would have such negative consequences that it would negate all you were trying to achieve for the past 40 days?
Anger is a completely normal emotion to experience. The important thing is that we should express what is making us angry in an proper way, for unexpressed emotions such as anger will never just disappear. They always come back to haunt us.
Jesus' rebuttal to this request shows that even under extreme pressure, the reverence Jesus had for His Father's house, for the temple in Jerusalem where the Holy of Holies was housed, was greater than any desire He might have about desecrating this most holy of places. So Jesus replied to "the tempter," "It is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test." Once again Jesus uses scripture and the Word of God, the sword, to defend himself against satan's temptation.
The next word in the acronym is "loneliness." The significance that power and wealth seem to have on us is so important to most of us mere mortals, but Jesus ignored the devil's temptation.
He knew of a greater commission in front of Him–to be the perfect, unblemished lamb of God to be sacrificed, the one who paid the price for our redemption so we could take our rightful place with our Creator. Loneliness is such a wellspring for "the slanderer" to practice his dark arts of separating us from our true place for which we were all created, that being in a loving relationship with our Creator.
Even though Jesus was in a perfect union with His Father, the thought of being the only agent that could go to the cross and take on the sins of the world would make anyone lonely, not to mention that whilst being crucified, for one nanosecond the One who is love would not be loved by anyone.
Even His Father looked away and left Him to bear the sins of the world. The people who came to see Him, those He came to save, threw insults at Him and mocked Him. He truly was the loneliest person on earth. It would have been so easy for Him to accept the devil's final temptation, to grant Him, when Jesus was on the very high mountain, power over all the kingdoms of the world and all their splendor. "All this I will give you," the devil said, "if you will bow down and worship me." Matthew 4:8. The devil once again quoted scripture, which is a scary proposition when taking into account the full implications of this. Look what happened to Eve in the Garden when the devil misrepresented God's word. Genesis 3.
The next word in the acronym is "tired." There is good reason that sleep deprivation is a commonly used tool when interrogating someone.
Being tire is a strong wellspring for doing out-of-character actions which in turn affect all we are called to be—God's witnesses, not His attorneys.
So it is important to keep up a good maintenance program for both our physical and spiritual well-being.
Jesus, being both fully man and fully God, needed His physical needs met. Yes, He fasted 40 days and 40 nights. He was sustained by His spiritual union with His Father. But sleep is important. Even though we are not told Jesus slept, one assumes He did sleep. Through all the devil's attempts to tempt Jesus, Jesus resisted using the Word of God. The beast lost to our Lord and Saviour.
Jesus was offered wealth, comfort, authority, and adulation. But He chose scarcity, sacrifice, submission, and service.


I'm a skeptic who's seen every consumer-grade 3D TV in existence from manufacturers like Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony. I've seen OLED 3D, plasma 3D, LCD 3D and LED LCD 3D. And I've finally made up my mind on the matter.
I would buy a 3D TV this year.
I wouldn't buy any old 3D tech.
There is only one TV I've seen—out of very, very many—that captivated me like Avatar on IMAX. While most of the time I couldn't wait to pull the glasses off my face, LG's 60-inch plasma prototype, slated to be a real product later this year, sort of rocked my world with nearly flicker-free performance. Panasonic's Viera V Series TVs, using similar methods on paper (plasma with shutter glasses), was a close second, as it strobed more. And I'm still curious as to why that was the case—whether it was shutter glasses, the lighting environment, the source material (the LG showed more animation, which looks great in 3D) or the display itself that made the difference.
Not trusting my own eyes, I sent two other members of Giz to look at each set as well. They didn't see a difference. So I'm willing to call Panasonic and LG a tie.
I wouldn't buy anything but a BIG 3D TV.
Without fail, the bigger the 3D, the better the illusion. Anything under 50 inches is basically a joke, unless it's your computer monitor or something. And I will say, even though Vizio's XVT Pro television wasn't my favorite experience (it's an LCD and thereby less smooth), the fact that it was 72-inches meant that a plane's wing almost hit me in the nose.
I wouldn't pay much more for a 3D TV.
LG told me that the 3D-capable version of their plasma set will only be a $200 premium over the non-3D version. I'm willing to pay that extra cost as an idiotic early adopter, knowing that the television is a nice HDTV when it's not showing 3D. Of course, to be completely fair, that $200 premium applies to a premium set to begin with, not a bargain bin TV that many of us settle for out of sanity.
I wouldn't watch 3D all the time.
Even in some content utopia where I could watch everything I ever wanted in 3D (right now, we're limited to promises from Blu-ray, select broadcasters and some DirecTV), I wouldn't choose to with the current glasses/TV setup. Even the best experience I had was tiring, and unless I'm really getting something special from meticulously produced media (like movies, or maybe even video games), I'm going to do what I do best when watching television: be lazy. For hours. Eye strain is a major concern.
Back to that content point for a moment, every movie that Pixar is making from here on out promises to be in 3D. Video games should be somewhat turn-key to make the 3D transition as they'd like. And Hollywood is definitely pushing 3D. But within 2010, it's tough to envision a lot more than extremely limited broadcast and yet another viewing of the inevitable Avatar Extra Special Edition Blu-ray.
I wouldn't replace my 2D TV.
If I weren't looking for a new TV already, 3D alone wouldn't sway me to plop down a few grand—at least not today—a decision influenced by both the imperfect experience and the limited media. It'd be nice to have, sure. But most people can and will wait, I'd bet.
I wouldn't TOTALLY overlook an LCD curveball.
So that's my view. Go ahead, heckle me and my glasses that will look stupid and dated, well, they look stupid and dated today. But watching the best 3D TVs—namely, top tier plasma—is actually a pretty amazing experience...one that might be worth the sometimes literal headaches.
And these chicks in bikinis totally agree with me.
