Blogs > Lions Lowdown

One thing you can count on with the Detroit Lions is that they are never, ever boring. Follow the latest news including injuries, roster moves and more here daily from Oakland Press beat writer Paula Pasche. Plus you'll find regular commentary about the team.

Season tickets about where Lions expected

He didn't offer any firm numbers, but team president Tom Lewand said today the first wave of season-ticket renewals, due last week, was about what the Lions expected.

“I think we saw a little bit more in terms of people putting deposits down rather than paying their full season in March, which was completely understandable,” Lewand said. “We expected that, too. But I'm very encouraged by it.”

The Lions had five blackouts last year, the first five in Ford Field history, and many disgruntled fans said they weren't going to renew their tickets after an 0-16 season and in light of Michigan's faltering economy.

In December, the team announced it was freezing most ticket prices and decreasing the cost of about 4,400 seats.Individual game prices will be announced later this summer.

“Clearly we still have the economy to contend with and that impacts everything,” Lewand said. “But the reality is if we continue to do what we've said we're going to do and continue to make incremental progress and give the fans reasons to believe in the direction of the franchise and then most importantly start out of the gate and win some , I think we'll do what we need to do on the business side.”

Biography & Education

Daniel Sanders, PA-C, was inspired to pursue a career as a physician assistant after seeing his father suffer from a chronic disease that left him disabled. "Witnessing the great care he received from his medical providers made me want to help other people who find themselves in similar difficult circumstances," says Daniel.

Daniel believes his most important role as a health care provider is to listen to his patients and understand their needs. "I emphasize honesty with my patients," he said. "I want to help people reach their goals and prevent disease when possible."

After earning his bachelor's degree in business administration from Portland State University, Daniel completed his Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.

Daniel and his wife love living in the Willamette Valley and enjoy camping with their dog. In his free time, Daniel enjoys painting, woodworking, and outdoor activities.

This was my first visit to the office. I appreciated the way he took the time to go over my medical record with me and allow me to feel in charge of it. he was very relatable and helped me to feel at ease.

I really appreciate both Dr. [...] and Daniel Sanders, P.A. They have both given me excellent care!

Daniel always takes time with me. I've only seen him a few times but I always leave with the feeling he cared.

First visit to establish new primary care provider. He was recommended, and I'm satisfied.

very helpful

I was very impressed as this visit was due to a change in Physicians. Daniel was very helpful in making sure all my questions were answered and also helpful in obtaining referrals for and upcoming eye surgery that I need. I would recommend him to my friends.

I am a new patient and Daniel Sanders was extremely personable and a very impressive first impression for your clinic

Dr. Sanders was excellent; I intend to switch to him as my primary care, if possible. Very attentive and was clearly engaged.

He thoroughly listened to what I thought was the best approach to my lingering cold (sinus infection) based on past events. The antibiotic he prescribed started working the first day and I was able to sleep through the night the second day. THANK YOU!

Mr. Sanders seemed very thorough in assessing my health situation in this my first visit with him. I am very pleased that he accepted me as one of his patients.

Dan Sanders told me if my condition had not improved to call on Monday. I called twice but nobody contacted me on Monday, so that night I emailed my primary, Dr [...]. his nurse called first thing Tues morning with advice and referral to specialist.

Very pleasant

[...] Daniel Sanders is as comfortable to talk to as being with family! Dr. Daniel Sanders PA was so easy to talk to and took/I have been very pleased with the care I've received.

Excellent bedside manner. Listens and answers questions and concerns. Very pleasant and as an elder felt he respect me and my health concerns. Overall a very good dr. Visit.

I think the 15 minute appointments should be extended, not this appointment but I have been to appointments where I feel rushed as does the doctor. We are people not cattle.

We felt he was attentive and concerned about what we were telling him. He went the extra mile in following up with us. He is an excellent pa

More than 2,000 students moved into residence halls around the Oregon State University campus on Sept. 20. With the help of family, friends and nearly 100 volunteers, they spent hours making trips between their rooms and the parking lot, and trying to get their first home away from home set up just right. In this slideshow, some of the newest OSU residents remind us of the excitement of starting a new life on campus. (photos: Theresa Hogue)

OSU named a “top green school” by Princeton Review

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State University was ranked number 38 of “50 Top Green Schools” in the 2015 edition of The Princeton Review Guide to 353 Green Colleges.

The guide profiles colleges with exceptional commitments to sustainability, based on their academic offerings and career preparation for students, campus policies, initiatives, and activities. It also gives college applicants information about each school's admission requirements, cost and financial aid, as well as student body facts and statistics.

OSU received a green rating score of 98, and was recognized for its formal sustainability committee, available transportation alternatives and the availability of sustainability-focused degrees, among other things. The highest score a college can receive is 99.

The company tallied 861 colleges in summer 2014, using data from its 2013-14 survey of school administrators. The survey asked them to report on their school's sustainability-related policies, practices, and programs.

The guide is available online at http://bit.ly/1DQ8te0 and is the only free comprehensive resource of its kind.

According to the review, students at OSU enjoy an "exceptional 'green living' education" on campus. Even the exercise machines at the recreation center help power the university's electrical grid. Known for its excellent reputation in sustainability, many students are drawn to OSU's outstanding engineering, forestry, biology, and geoscience programs.

“OSU continues to be recognized for going above and beyond in its efforts to create a sustainable campus and a well-rounded student experience that increases awareness of critical global issues,” said Brandon Trelstad, OSU’s sustainability coordinator. “It’s great to be consistently recognized by the Princeton Review and other organizations, and it encourages us to keep meeting higher goals for our sustainability efforts.”

Market Overview

Global Payments' Breach Overshadows Positive Quarter

In a call with analysts and investors, Global Payments (NYSE: GPN) discussed third quarter results for its fiscal year 2012, just released on Monday morning, as well as addressed at length the security breach of an estimated 1.5 million credit card numbers. Notable rises in revenues and EPS in comparison to last year were overshadowed by bottom-line concerns, as well as one-time impacts, arising from the event.

Analysts opted to focus on the financial and competitive fallout in terms of losses, added R&D and fines levied against the company from card issues with whom the company remained non-compliant. Company officials conceded that the breach would be responsible for increased ongoing expenses in security as well as research and developments. It also noted that it expected fines from Visa, which removed Global Payments from its PCI compliance list, and potentially from other card issuers who might do the same in the coming days. Company officials, however, refused to comment on such impact before these could be reasonably estimated, offering instead that the total impact would be "manageable."

The company said it detected the unauthorized access three weeks ago. Probed by Oppenheimer on the timeline of the problem, said to have occurred sometime in late January, the company could not elaborate due to the ongoing investigation. It said, however, that the company acted "within hours" of discovery. The company clarified that the event involved a "handful of servers handling North American payments," and that it did not involve any partners or point of sale systems.

Global Payments officials resisted to questioning by a Morgan Stanley analyst on what the malicious penetration said of the comparable security of GPN compared to other systems that must have also been attacked. "I do not think we can infer what you are inferring," the company's CEO, Paul Garcia, said. "Attacks happen on an ongoing basis, so we cannot comment on who got attacked or penetrated at this time."

The company conceded that it was currently deemed non-compliant by major credit card issuer Visa (NYSE: V) in light of the incident. "This is a catch-22 so to speak," the Mr. Garcia offered. "You start compliant, then something happens and you are no longer so." He said that the company was working around the clock to restore compliance with Visa as soon as humanly possible. It said the process would take longer than days, but probably less than months. Company officials stressed vehemently that this was self-discovered and self-reported, which should contribute to a return to compliance.

In response to questioning by Goldman Sachs on the competitive fallout, the company said it was "heartened by competitor reaction to the event, and the assurances we have received" that there would not be any improper advantage on its market share by most of them. "There are rogue outliers out there," the company said, "but they are wrong!" Mr. Garcia said of voices that have suggested the company would lose a good chunk of its businesses as its partners would pause at the thought of continued business with such an adverse effect on the company's record.

"You must keep in mind that our partner relationships are of a long-term nature, with lots of infrastructure involved," the CEO said, hinting that the company's business may be safe by virtue of the prohibitive cost of replacing payment processors. "Let's say our partners move on from us," he continues the thinking line, "what will happen when their next partners gets attacked?"

The security breach diverted attention to what it had been an otherwise positive quarter. Global Payments said that its revenues had grown 17 percent to $533.5 million compared to the same quarter a year ago. Earnings per share were reported up 17 percent to $0.83 on a cash basis. On a GAAP basis, EPS was up 24 percent to $0.73 compared to the previous year. Analysts had expected $529.34 million in revenues and $0.84 cash EPS.

GPN closed at $47.50 on Friday, recovering a bit after losing 8.7 percent within minutes of the breach announcement. Shares are likely to open closer when trade halt is removed, but might see slight upside to flat action based on investor sentiment to cost containment and further fallout as events develop.

in The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Emotion

Published in print December 2009 | ISBN: 9780199235018
Published online January 2010 | | DOI:

Series: Oxford Handbooks in Philosophy

Philosophical research in the emotions is now extremely active and productive. It is now a familiar point that only a relatively short while ago philosophical interest in the emotions was really quite sparse; a browse through a typical handbook of philosophy of mind in the 1960s might well reveal little or nothing in the index under ‘emotion’, let alone anything so grand as an entry on its own. There are, on the one hand, those theories that owe their ancestry to the work of William James, arguing that emotions are bodily feelings or perceptions of bodily feelings; and, on the other hand, those theories that owe their ancestry to Aristotle and the Stoics, arguing that emotions are cognitive, world-directed intentional states. Other philosophers have argued that, whilst there are analogies to be drawn between emotion and other kinds of mental state, emotions are, at bottom, sui generis.

Pete Carroll Named Head Coach Of Seattle Seahawks

Jan. 11, 2010

LOS ANGELES¬-Head coach Pete Carroll, who guided the USC football program to the winningest era in its history during his nine-year tenure, has resigned to become the head coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks.

'The nine years at USC have been the best years of my coaching life,' said Carroll. 'I will forever be indebted for the opportunity to represent this great university and would like to extend my thanks to President Sample and Mike Garrett for giving me the chance. For all the unforgettable memories, I want to thank the players, coaches and support staff who made it all possible. My family and I have been blessed, and we will always appreciate and respect our association with USC, our fans and the Trojan Family. I will continue to be committed to the community through our foundation, A Better LA.

'The university graciously approached me to stay but this choice is about pursuing the great challenges of competing in the NFL and I found this opportunity too compelling to pass up.'

Said USC President Dr. Steven B. Sample: 'I had hoped this day would not come; this is a big loss to all of us. But we are proud of Pete Carroll¬-and proud that the Seattle Seahawks recognize his talents and his accomplishments¬-and are offering him this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He rewrote the book on college football and now he intends to do the same for professional football. And my guess is that he will succeed wonderfully.

'Every Trojan everywhere owes Pete a big debt of gratitude for what he did for USC and USC football this past nine years. Two national championships, three Heisman Trophy winners, and seven consecutive Pac-10 Championships earned him a lasting place in our history. He launched more professional football careers than any coach in recent memory, including 35 All-American first teamers and 53 NFL draft picks.

'But even more important than this, he brought joy and grace back to the game. He filled the Coliseum to the rafters. He was an educator as much as a coach, and taught all of us by example how important it is to take personal responsibility for making the world a better place. Pete's work with the toughest gangs of Los Angeles through A Better LA is the stuff of legend.

'We will miss Pete, but he will always be a Trojan. And he and his family will always have a warm and welcoming home at the University of Southern California.'

Added USC athletic director Mike Garrett: 'Pete Carroll propelled the USC football program to unparalleled heights and became a college football icon in doing so. All of us connected with the University¬and indeed, the entire Trojan family¬thank him for everything that he did during his nine years at USC. He was a valued colleague and good friend. We're obviously sorry to see him go, but we congratulate him on the new challenge that he has accepted with the Seattle Seahawks and wish him the very best.

'Pete had an incredible run at USC as our football coach. He restored our program to national prominence and produced some of the most memorable moments in our history. The expectations at USC are very high, and Pete and his teams achieved at the highest level imaginable. He not only was a winner on the field, but he made a dramatic impact on our campus and in the community.

'We did everything we could to keep Pete at USC, but he was presented with a rare opportunity to really build a program in the NFL. We know he will do a great job with the Seahawks. We'll be rooting for him.'

Garrett said that a search for Carroll's successor would begin immediately.

'Pete built and left in place a truly outstanding organization,' said Garrett. 'While he leaves behind an impressive legacy, I am confident that we will find a new head coach who will continue the success to which we are accustomed at USC.' The 58-year-old Carroll posted a 97-19 (83.6%) record in his nine seasons (2001-2009) at USC. He won a pair of national championships (2003-04), with the 2004 Trojans going a perfect 13-0. He was 62-14 in Pacific-10 games for a league record 81.6% winning mark.

From 2002 to 2008, his teams won an unprecedented seven consecutive Pac-10 titles, appeared in an NCAA-record seven consecutive BCS bowls (including a pair of BCS Championship Games), recorded at least 11 victories in each of those seven seasons (an NCAA record) and finished ranked in the AP Top 4 in each of those seven seasons.

He posted 35 victories over AP Top 25 teams (35-9 overall, 79.5%). He was 7-2 in bowl games, including 6-1 in BCS games, and USC became the first school to win three consecutive Rose Bowls. He went 16-2 against traditional rivals Notre Dame and UCLA.

His teams established several Pac-10 record winning streaks, including 35 home games, 34 overall games, 27 Pac-10 games and 24 Pac-10 home games. They also set school records for winning 18 consecutive road games and 13 straight Pac-10 road games.

USC was AP's No. 1 team in a national-record 33 straight polls and was ranked in the AP Top 10 for a school-record 63 consecutive games. His teams were in the AP Top 25 for 102 consecutive games, also a school record.

His Trojans set a NCAA record by scoring at least 20 points in 63 consecutive games.

Under Carroll, USC was the first school to have three Heisman Trophy winners in a four-year span. He also coached winners of the Walter Camp, Chuck Bednarik, Johnny Unitas, Doak Walker and John Mackey Awards. In 2005, USC became the first school to have a 3,000-yard passer, a pair of 1,000-yard runners and a 1,000-yard receiver in a season.

Carroll produced 35 All-American first teamers and 53 NFL draft picks (including 14 first rounders, with a No. 1 selection in Carson Palmer and a No. 2 in Reggie Bush).

In 2009, he was named collegiate Coach of the Decade by Lindy's magazine. He twice was named the National Coach of the Year and three times was the Pac-10 Coach of the Year.

During his time at Troy, USC set Pac-10 records for home average and home total attendance, as well as school standards for overall and overall average attendance and home and season sellouts.

While at USC, Carroll received a number of community awards after he helped develop A Better LA, a non-profit group consisting of a consortium of local agencies and organizations working to reduce gang violence by empowering change in individuals and communities.

Autumn Equinox

'The Little Apple Girl' Photo taken by Nicodemus, used with permission

It's that time of year again here in the Northern Hemisphere. The harvest is in, we've even had our first frost here in Michigan, and the leaves are falling rapidly off of the trees. Today it is so windy I think I'll not have a single leaf on a tree in my front yard, but I'm sure all of the neighborhood leaves will come and visit my property and dance in the wind. One of my cats is currently insisting that my legs are the best place in the house to nap. I've given up trying to move him, instead typing while my keyboard is precariously perched at the edge of my desk lest I disturb his beauty sleep.

Be sure to explore all of the great Autumn Equinox information we have available on the site. A good place to start is our Wheel of the Year Samhain page over in the Spirituality section. From there you can find articles on the holiday including recipes and ritual, word searches and children's stories related to the Autumn Equinox.

Want to involve your children more in your ritual? We have several great articles about that in our Magick & Ritual section.

Here's a couple of my personal picks for Autumn related children's books. The Autumn Equinox by Ellen Jackson talks about different harvest celebrations around the world. Why Do Leaves Change Color? by Betsy Maestro is a great science explanation in terms young children can understand about the traditional color changing process. How Do You Know It's Fall? by Allan Fowler is another science book helping to see the signs of fall.

Mark Travis John Sanchez (born November 11, 1986) is an American football quarterback for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft as the fifth overall selection by the Jets and the second quarterback overall. He played college football at the University of Southern California (USC).

Sanchez grew up amidst a well-disciplined and athletic family. In the eighth grade, he began to play football and began to learn the intricacies of the quarterback position, training with his father, Nick. A well-regarded prospect, Sanchez committed to Southern California following his successful high school career in which he led his team to a championship title during his final season. At USC, Sanchez was relegated as the backup quarterback though he rose to prominence in the community due to his Mexican-American heritage and brief appearances on the field due to injuries suffered by starting quarterback John David Booty. Named the starter in 2008, Sanchez led USC to a 12–1 record and won the prestigious Rose Bowl against Penn State for which Sanchez was awarded the Offensive MVP.

After only starting sixteen games for the Trojans, Sanchez announced his intention to enter the NFL Draft. He was selected by the Jets and named the starting quarterback prior to the start of the season. Despite a subpar performance, Sanchez led the Jets to the AFC Championship Game, a losing...

New Year, New Mantra

Happy new year! I hope you all had a good end to your year and are excited for things to come in the year ahead of us.

We are still on vacation (which I'm especially enjoying today, given that my coworkers are all back at work and I'm still sitting around and enjoying the sunshine). It's been so wonderful to have the break. I've been getting lots of sleep and lots of knitting time. On the way down, I started a pair of fingerless mitts, which were finished on our second day here:

These haven't been blocked yet, which is why they look a little twisted, but I love them. They're a new pattern that I'll be writing up soon; the yarn is Fibernymph Dye Works Bounce that I picked up at the Indie Knit and Spin in November. There's still at least half a skein left, so I may make a second pair (one to wear, one to keep nice for the sample) or knit another pair of mitts with a different pattern.

I also brought two skeins of Socks That Rock with me to make some replacement socks. The first pair, in my old standby pattern (no-purl Monkeys), was cast on Sunday afternoon. At the moment, I'm just two pattern repeats and a toe away from a finished pair, and I expect I'll be done sometime this evening.

As soon as these are done, I'll ball up the other skein so that I can cast on the other pair and have them on the needles for the flight home.

As I often do when New Year's comes around, I take stock of where I am in my fibery life and think about what I want to do in the year ahead. I hesitate to say that I make resolutions, because those are so easily broken. If you listen to the Knitmore Girls podcast, then you're probably familiar with Jasmin's habit of having a theme for each year. I really like this idea, so for 2014, I'm declaring my theme "Love the One You're With." While I have a great LYS and often find myself impervious to new yarn arrivals, I also have, as some would say, a very well-curated stash, particularly when it comes to spinning fiber. In the year ahead, I'd like to focus on digging through my stash to find yarn I've forgotten I had and finding ways to use the odd skeins and leftovers. I decided to start the year off on the right foot by using some leftovers to start a new pattern sample last night; I'm using some Knit Picks Capra that was leftover from the sample for Ellyce. Here's a peek:

I'm also putting myself on a fiber diet, at least until Maryland Sheep and Wool this year, because I have a ridiculous amount to spin up -- and that includes two fleeces that were bought a year and a half ago. They are beautiful fleeces, and I'd really like to spin them up and knit sweaters from them, but I haven't done so because the processing takes away time from knitting and spinning. I've combed a bit of one fleece, so I can at least start on that, but I think that I might set aside an hour or so a week and dedicate that time to combing or carding. I'm okay with having a long-term project as long as it gets done eventually.

Do you have a theme or a resolution for the coming year? What at you hoping to accomplish in 2014?

Stripeyspots said...

My theme/goal/aim is very much like yours. I've been going through the stash as part of my end of year clean up, and I feel that it is simply too much. I have such nice yarn at home and if I don't start consciously using it up, I will miss out on the fun of knitting it. Here's good luck to both of us!

Megan said...

My goal/resolution/theme is to start getting serious about knitting. I have some pattern ideas that have been sitting around sketched up for some time and all I have to do is figure them out, write them up, and publish (scary!!!). I'm terrible with math, so I've been putting that off, but I really want to try. I also have some projects that need to be finished - a sweater that's been a WIP for a looong time (the first sweater for myself), a pair of mittens for a friend, and a blanket that was started for my 2.5 yr old son.

Aside from that, I have the goal of knitting everyone in this house a pullover before next fall...maybe before the spring, even! And DH wants a second hat (just got his first for Christmas), both kids need mittens, my SMiL deserves a little scarf that she's been requesting (another chance to design something), and I would really love a hat, too!

So I guess my goals are: finish, proliferate, design. Nothing hard about that, right? Haha :)

Worldview Weekend by Clyde F. Autio

For I am the LORD, I change not;â€¦ Malachi 3: 6 (KJV)

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13 8 (KJV)

God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye dieâ€¦And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:â€¦she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, Genesis 3:3-6 (KJV) Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world,â€¦ And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matthew 4:8-10 (KJV)

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Psalm 53:3 (KJV)

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 (KJV)

As one looks out upon the world it is easy to ask God, 'Why are these things happening now?' The better question would be, 'Why should they not be happening now?' Why should we question God's purposes or patience when we have followed the same rebellious path blazed by innumerable godless regimes and empires? Do we question the timing because we think we should be free from God's wrath? Was Job speaking for God in Job 4:8 (KJV) when he said; 'they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.' Or that Paul was not writing in the will of God in Galatians 6:7 (KJV); 'God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.' Do we believe there are no consequences to rampant pornography, millions of babies murdered in the womb, unchecked political corruption, entertainment that exposes our children to uninhibited sex and unending destructive brutality? Were we not warned?

The world is in chaos brought about by such things as: upheavals in most of the of the its major economies, clashes between radical Islam and non-Muslim cultures occurring on every inhabited continent, international economic conferences that cannot be held with out the demonstrations of destructive radical groups, concerns about nuclear weapons being developed by rogue nations, and a fear that the world is re-entering the Cold War posture. The United States is experiencing all of the aforementioned problems, plus an internal political struggle about the role of the Federal Government relative to the intent of the Constitution. Are there historical precedents for any of these disturbances and their surrounding controversies?

All of them have their genesis in one common factor. It is called rebellion, a human disorder that has infected man from his very first days in the Garden of Eden. Rebellion can be described as any action, conduct or thought that lies outside of God's will for man. Man has never been content to follow God's commands nor to emulate Christ's example of obedient living. Man has always allowed Satan to have access to his inner being and tolerated the Prince of the World as his master. Man suffers from a blindness and short memory that not only causes him to stumble and fall, but also he cannot predict the suffering that will come from the same old consequences brought about by repeating the same old mistakes. He cannot understand that the outcome will not be any different if you do the same thing the same way.

Man's failing is an unwillingness to acknowledge that God is God and man is His creation. He has gone to great lengths to try and escape the inevitable realization that creating his own false gods, serving his manufactured idols and following his deceitful beliefs will not allow him to escape the grip of his Creator. He chafes in anger because of the God given attribute he cherishes the most, his own free-will. Unlike Christ, the object of man's service, pleasure and possessions are for his own self and not his fellow man, and certainly not His Creator. He will shake his fist at, deny and refuse to give to the Lord of Creation, his true Master, all of the glory, honor and praise required of him.

Down through the ages both the Bible and secular history is a repetitive collection of man's failure to achieve and retain success. The pattern of domination, revolution, freedom, material success, self-indulgence, hedonistic excesses, cultural collapse and then back to domination will remain an unbreakable cycle until man accepts God as his master.

Rebellion not only started in the Garden of Eden, it has been at the core of everything we know as history. It was the reason for the flood when; 'God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.' (Genesis 6:5 â€“ KJV). It was only God's mercy that has spared man more devastation; Genesis 8:21, 'â€¦and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.' But, the presence of God's long-suffering patience, mercy and unwillingness to once again bring about a world-wide catastrophe has not brought about a change in the character of man nor his goal to be his own master.

Following is a short list of examples of man's failure to recognize that his rebellion towards God has been at the core of his earthly repetitious torment. It reveals that six thousand years of history has seen God giving man many opportunities to improve his life-style, quality of life and self-determination. Yet, each example reveals the same failure mode of man rebelling against the God of those blessings:

The famous biblical patriarchs God sought out and entrusted to be the leaders of His people, fondly remembered for their heroic deeds, led lives of deceit and unfaithfulness. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob used lies to gain their goals and to protect their well-being.

God placed Joseph in Egypt, as the providing benefactor who would save Israel from starvation. Both the Egyptians and Israelites forgot Joseph's example of faithfulness and service and rebelled against God. Other than his youthful arrogance, Joseph lived to serve His Master.

After 400 years of living in Egypt the Lord chose Moses to lead the Israelites from the horrors of slavery. The Israelites exhibited no faith in their God, or their future, as Moses and Aaron negotiated with Pharaoh through the devastating miracles against Egypt. They could only squirm in their daily ordeals and beg for more straw and lower brick quotas. Finally, at the appointed hour God gave them a sign of kindness when their first-born were spared by the over flight of the death angel. The grief-stricken Egyptians gave them their gold jewelry to hurry them on their Exodus journey.

God's benevolent destruction of the Egyptian army, providing fresh water, daily feedings of manna, and personal promises of a future Kingdom could not assuage the rebellious faithlessness of a defiant Exodus nation that dwelled on complaints of being recaptured, periods of thirst and hunger, building false idols and fear about claiming God's promised Kingdom

At the end of Samuel's rule as a judge the people chose to end God's rule by judges. They demanded their own king. Samuel, in disgust, turned to God who told him that they were rebelling against Him and not Samuel. God said let them have a king, but the king would take their sons and daughters, the best that they had and instead of serving them would demand their servitude. God was right; Saul succumbed to his own greatness and fell in dishonor by rebelling against God. An oft repeated example of repressive leadership.

This brought another king, David, who was the apple of God's eye, even though he rebelled against the law by committing adultery and trying to hide it by having the woman's husband killed. God mercifully spared David from death, a required judgment of the law.

For the remainder of the Old Testament period, approximately 1,000 years, Israel was in and out of bondage numerous times, habitually involved in wars and regularly succumbed to the practice of false religions. All of these chaotic and devastating events were the result of rebelling against the laws God had set before them.

The same cycle is seen in the New Testament amongst the various sects of the Jewish religion, enmity towards Christ, persecution of the apostles and disciples, and the failure of the churches in Asia to remain faithful to their first love.

For the last two thousand years history is recorded by reviewing the various eras, regimes, empires and religious movements through the same rebellious life cycle noted for the thousands of years in the Old Testament.

The Twentieth Century is noted for being a period of time when despotic rulers have killed more of their own people than were killed fighting their enemies. That century saw more government brutality through the rise and fall of numerous dictatorial and oligarchy governments than any other century. Yet, man has not changed or learned about the failings of his rebellious excesses or domination.

And, today we appear to be experiencing the collapse of what some would call man's greatest opportunity for self-governing. A government set forth by what the great British intellectual, G. K. Chesterton called a creed. Prior to the founding of the United States, which was based upon a shared belief, nations had been founded on the basis of race, or by the power of kings or emperors who accumulated lands and the peasants who inhabited those lands. But, by God's providence the United States was blessed to set forth its own Constitution as a contract between the governed and those governing.

All of the aforementioned failings can be wrapped up with a very short recap of the essence that has brought about all of the grief, misery, death, destruction, terror and turmoil. Man has never been able to live according to ten simple laws. In reality, there are no new laws to break and none of the old ones have been conquered. With all of the evil it still boils down to just those ten. God has repeatedly said; 'Keep my commandments, and live;' Proverbs 7:2 (KJV); 'Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live:' Amos 5:14 (KJV); 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heartâ€¦ this do, and thou shalt live.' Luke 10:27,28 (KJV). Such a simple solution for living free. Even now, none of us are capable of following those simple guidelines. Two things have never changed, God in his infinite holiness and righteousness and man in his total depravity.

There is a desire to roll back the trend in the United States and thus return to the nation as it was at the turn of the Twentieth Century. The media, the Internet, the politicians, the culture and even the church are all a part of the problem. But none of them are prepared to step forward to be the salt and light leadership necessary to bring about such a change. Each one is caught up in their own vested interest and is intent on fulfilling their own rebellious goals.

The first thing that must happen is the restoration of our desire to have God in no less of a roll in all of those institutions that He had when the nation was first formed and was the world's economic, social, industrial and evangelism powerhouse. Unfortunately, most of the aforementioned institutions have the goal of removing God from the culture and replacing Him by their own religion of humanism, atheism or a new gospel. A Godly nation is a blessed nation; 'Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;' Psalm 33:12 (KJV).

But, sadly even the American church and Christian institutions are departing from traditional Christianity and appear to be in a state of scriptural disrepair. The nation has the greatest access in history to theological education, 'Christian' publications and public access through all forms of electronic media. Sadly, all of this 'learnin' appears to be separating theology from prayer and old fashioned preaching. Through the education and writing channels there has been a trend towards enlightenment methods and a proliferation of other gospels that has brought confusion to the laity as to whether there should be confidence in the questioning of traditional biblical beliefs and Marxist social justice teachings. Unfortunately, once strong traditional Christian institutions are willing to share their podiums with those espousing theories that would destroy the Constitution and further erode the nation. Regrettably, the traditional Christian bulwark is being maintained by numerous parachurch organizations that are standing for the historical and traditional values once the domain of the church.

Today's most popular game in the United States is the Blame Game. The rule for playing that game is to identify a problem, any problem will do, and then point to some other person, or entity, that you can blame for creating that problem. We 'good' citizens today enjoy pointing our fingers at the president, the congress, the courts and most definitely the very liberal news media and the decadent entertainment industry. If we could just control them and set them on the right path, we believe that all would be well. Not so fast! None of those current occupants were there when the nation started to fall into the current state of disrepair. So maybe they aren't the real culprits. But, who else could it be, if it isn't those pesky politicians who are trying to take away our freedoms, security and then tax our wealth?

There is only one common factor throughout the list of examples of man failing to uphold God's Law and to live so that he would fulfill his divine purpose of exalting Godâ€“ us. We all fell on that fateful day when Eve picked the apple and ate of that fruit. We inherited what biblical scholars call Total Depravity. It is for that reason that we are not able to help ourselves to live righteously and therefore to enjoy the blessing of seeking good and eschewing evil. Surrendering to the one who conquered death for us can only do that.

Even though we are sensitive to the many obvious forms of today's rebellion, whether it be politicians ignoring the Constitution; schools failing to properly educate students; entertainment promoting illicit lifestyles; churches seeking after other doctrines, gospels and music; marital infidelity; courts protecting pornography; sexual abuses in churches; economic chicanery and corruption; or just breaking the speed limit we are not willing to confess our own failings and to be the person who starts the revival.

The nation did not get to this state during the last three or four elections. It has been eroding for nearly two centuries. We spend too little time considering our vertical relationship with God and too much time making horizontal judgments about how much better we are than our fellow man or how our neighbor has more than he should. If we were intent on seeking God's wisdom, we would realize that the large failings of our culture and the devastation to the Constitution started out as mere little cracks which were tolerated, quite often by well meaning people who thought it was worth a small Constitutional encroachment to give unconstitutional aid to some party. That is the precise point where the principle of constitutional fidelity should have been applied.

Where were the citizens when the Federal Reserve was created? The groundwork for such Constitutional transgressions is well planned and takes place years before the final deed is enacted. The removal of prayer from school did not start with the Supreme Court in 1964, it started years earlier in the hearts and minds of men who had a diminished view of the importance of God in the culture. The legalization of abortion did not have its birth in the Supreme Court in 1972. It was the natural outgrowth of a progressive eugenics program started years before.

We became an apathetic and spiritually lazy culture that was willing to let small things slip by and we were only going to worry about the big things. Unfortunately, we failed to realize that it was not the moles that ruined the beautiful grass, it was the grubs the moles were seeking for food. Those who raise fruit soon learn that the very earliest sprays are the most productive. They know that without early treatment the harmful insect creeps into the fruit bud and takes up residence by the time the fruit is starting to grow. The Bible does not speak of little sins. Only a little god would tolerate little sins. Yet, we are content to just try a sample, which is all the devil needs to hook us for the bigger things. That has been the problem in the United States.

The Progressive movement that is overtaking the United States had its inception at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. The church contributed to the cultural demise when it decided to leave the political realm of life to the world. Consequently, the church stood by as the government enslaved large segments of the population by allowing them to surrender their personal responsibilities in favor of government care. Not all slaves wear chains and not all who wear chains are slaves. We did not heed Benjamin Franklin's admonition: 'I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.' The church should have seen that a spiritless government would be an enslaving government. Who is the world and what would it be like, without the church? It is what we now have and regret.

If we want to restore the United States to its greater days, we will have to look to God and be prepared to be the vanguard for a revival to rebuild the church, the culture and last, but certainly not least, ourselves. No one knows the limit of God's patience and longsuffering with individuals, tribes, cultures, nations or even the world. God's people should be more concerned about reaching the unsaved than worrying about their own plight. There are numerous reports of low-hanging fruit, prepared by God for His harvest of souls, being reaped in the area of the tenth parallel region of Africa. Victory will only come through the Bible and not through bullets. God is challenging us to be active stewards of His vineyard in the harvest of souls and not living with the apathy associated with those who are only renting or temporarily passing through.

God's message of Genesis 1:26 (KJV); 'let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.', is to His people and not to the world at large. That command is not to the corporate church, as it is popularly known, but to that Church whose members form the Body of Christ. The members of that Church are the ones who should have the glorification and exaltation of God as their primary service in life. It is they who should provide the salt and light leadership for the well being of their brothers, sisters and neighbors.

One recent event is adequate to determine whether any particular church is relevant to the furtherance of the Kingdom and the shaping of the culture. That would be a church's response to the recent health care legislation. Any church that did not build into its corporate worship service time to offer petitions to God that He would divinely intercede in that particular piece of legislation is not culturally relevant. Why? Because those churches did not see it to be their responsibility to:

Plead with God to stop the federal government from becoming a primary agent in the continued practice of murdering infants in the womb. Ask that God not permit a law that would lower the life expectancy of its citizens suffering from the ravages of cancer, as is the case in those countries that have experienced such 'health care'. Protect the God-given liberties and freedoms that were acknowledged in the Bill of Rights. Shield families from the overwhelming financial upheaval to be brought about by exorbitant taxes. Prevent government bureaucrats from intruding into their members' health care decisions. If the church is not willing to accept the responsibility for being God's earthly protector of its members, and neighbors, who will assume that role? Is that not the good and faithful servant responsibility? The restoration of good government that will rule according to the Constitution is a role for God's people, the good fruit. Christ told us in Matthew 7:18 (KJV); "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

The concept of the church separating from politics is a frivolous and irresponsible position. There is no part of a Christian's life that is not subject to godly living and service. In all areas of our lives we are to glorify God by our response to the world in which we live. Even the act of voting is one that should be undertaken with the intent of bringing glory to God. On 16 April 1781, Samuel Adams was quoted in the Boston Gazette, "Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual -- or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." If God was providentially involved in bringing forth this nation and its form of government, would He not expect the citizens to honor what He brought about? Or do we believe, as do the evolutionists, that this government just happened to come about from some form of unknown 'Big Bang' that picked up a lot of European Christians and planted them in North America where they decided to try something new?

So, yes, the United States is in trouble, but we are a part of the problem and have to become a part of the solution. Satan tempted both Eve and Christ. But notice, in the opening Scriptural quotations, the difference between their two responses. Which response will you give today? God is no respecter of persons or nations, so the time for us to turn to God is now. The storm clouds exist because we have asked for the government that we have by voting for the people we have voted for, the churches that we have because of the other gospels we have listened to, the entertainment we have because of the events we supported, the schools we have because of our refusal to monitor the content of their teaching, and finally, the times that we are having because we did not have the will to put God first in our lives. We all have sinned, but thankfully we have an Advocate who lived a life and died a death in whom we can trust to remove that sin.

Ultraconserved words

By David Brown, Washington Post

The traditional view is that words can’t survive for more than 8,000 to 9,000 years. Evolution, linguistic “weathering” and the adoption of replacements from other languages eventually drive ancient words to extinction, just like the dinosaurs of the Jurassic era.

A new study, however, suggests that’s not always true.

A team of researchers has come up with a list of two dozen “ultraconserved words” that have survived 150 centuries. It includes some predictable entries:
“mother,” “not,” “what,” “to hear” and “man.” It also contains surprises: “to flow,” “ashes” and “worm.”

The existence of the long-lived words suggests there was a “proto-Eurasiatic” language that was the common ancestor to about 700 contemporary languages that are the native tongues of more than half the world’s people.

“We’ve never heard this language, and it’s not written down anywhere,” said Mark Pagel, an evolutionary theorist at the University of Reading in England who headed the study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “But this ancestral language was spoken and heard. People sitting around campfires used it to talk to each other.”

The Invisible iPhone - Technology Review

However, you do need to wear a stylish head-camera…

Over time, using your smart-phone touch screen becomes second nature, to the point where you can even do some tasks without looking. Researchers in Germany are now working on a system that would let you perform such actions without even holding the phone—instead you'd tap your palm, and the movements would be interpreted by an "imaginary phone" system that would relay the request to your actual phone.

Community-Friendly Earth Day Celebrations!

Planning an earth day party for this weekend? Don’t forget to keep your local community in mind. Earth Day is the perfect time to support local artists and farmers. Buy your fruits and flowers at a Farmer’s Market, and keep your eyes open for small gifts and décor.  Farmers Markets are great places to find hidden gems like quilts and linens for decorating, or homemade jams and jellies for including in a gift basket.

Other Earth-friendly ideas:
  • Don’t spend tons of money on elaborate bouquets of imported flowers. Instead, go for inexpensive bunches of wild flowers (2 for $5 at my local market). Unwrap several  bunches and place in painted white pails for centerpieces. Keep smaller bunches wrapped in paper (just like at the market!) to give out as favors or tuck in a note card and use as place cards.

  • Speaking of favors, fill cute and inexpensive Eco-Bags with a local jam, a bunch of flowers, and a packet of easy-to grow vegetables (for your area) to encourage your guests to grow their own vegetables.
  •  Food: instead of using paper plates, have a fondue party! set out trays with items for dipping, and don't limit yourself to fruit or bread. There are many other ideas for fondue.
(Photo from the Daniel Island Farmer's Market website)

Unfortunately I'm a little late on the Earth Day Bandwagon, but hopefully this gets your creative juices flowing!

New faces around the blog.

Hello everyone! I'm Dani, and I'm a long-time friend of Nicole's, who also has the party planning bug. I tend to be quite crafty, and I love the homemade touches that can make an event unique to the people attending (and hosting!). Since Nicole will be quite busy with her wedding plans, I'll be popping in every so often to keep up with ways to customize your parties and events, and possibly with a few crafty touches for Nicole to think about for her wedding, too!

I love to travel and find new ways to have adventures, even if its in my hometown. You can keep up with my adventures and a few of my party ideas over on my own blog, Sweet Adventures.

Buried Easter Treasure

Every year, I take it upon myself to put together Easter baskets and some form of a "hunt" for my 3 nephews. They are getting older now so I collected some more sensible items such as t-shirts, sandals, and juicy flavors of gum. I planned on finding fun resusable bags to put everything in, but checked all my typical shopping places (Target, Walm-Mart, Marshalls &  Michaels) & came up dry! So suddenly, Easter arrived and I had a whole bunch of goodies and no way to present them! In desperation, I found 3 empty shoe boxes and was struck with an idea. What if I turned the typical scavenger hunt into a hunt for buried treasure? I drew up a map of the yard and marked it with three X's... handed each kid a shovel... and instructed them to work as a team to find each box because they couldn't open them until they discovered them all. It was a great new twist on a family tradition and I think it livened things up for older kids. And it totally made it seem like I purposefully "forgot" to buy bags!

Party Idea: Super Bowl of Ice Cream

alias: Super Bowl Sundae Party
(see how creative I got there?)

I realize that Super Bowl Sunday has long since past but this year I had a genius idea for a party and it was completely snowed out... or to clarify, everyone else was completely snowed in!

I'm such a typical girl when it comes to watching sports - I sit through the game for the funny commercials and cheer for the team with the cutest color combo. I've given football a chance and even listened to a variety of explanations as to how (and why the heck) it is played. It's just not my cup of tea... unless of course there is plenty of sugar added!

So this year I planned to have an ice cream social party while anyone interested (including my adorable girlfriend) could watch the game. Each guest was instructed to bring their favorite ice cream flavor and a topping of their choice. We would then feast like kings on the frozen buffet wonderland. Now please envision me screaming to the heavens and cursing mother nature for blasting us with so much snow here in Maryland that we were literally confined to our homes for days on end.

Well... there's always next year! And feel free to borrow the idea yourself! Perhaps it can become a new American tradition!
A perfect addition to the Super Bowl snack table - an Ice Cream Toppings Bar!

Late-Night Martinis

Sometimes you just need a strong drink in a fancy glass to liven up a party. Check out Martinis at Midnight for countless unique recipes! I believe the best way to choose one to try is to close your eyes and point... and let the martini fate take over!

Or you could always go with the tried & true standbys - Cosmos & Extra Dirty

When hosting a martini party, make sure you are armed with more than enough glasses. Unfortunately those darn things have a tendency to get broken more easily... and when the liquor is flowing it doesn't help! You don't want to have to start serving these lovely drinks in plastic cups.

Also, don't be afraid when certain recipe elements run low. Some of the best martinis I have ever tried were discovered by throwing together whatever we had - including butterscotch schnapps, sweet & sour mix, and pineapple/orange juice (but probably not all in one glass).

And here are a few vodka recommendations from yours truly:

Stoli (short for "Stolichnaya"... but who wants to pronounce that after having a few?) is a high-end Russian vodka. It mixes well with practically everything because it doesn't have a harsh taste at all. Let's put it this way... if I was FORCED to take a straight shot of vodka.. I'd go with this.

Skyy is a fair-priced and very popular vodka. I prefer to use this in cosmos and apple martinis - something that has a bit of a bite. And the bottle is really pretty, so you can keep it for decorating or upcycling projects!

Burnetts is a very affordable vodka, but doesn't taste as cheap as it probably is. Also, there are PLENTY of flavors to suite anyone's fancy. One of the most well-known right now is Sweet Tea vodka (which is nifty because you can add it to lemonade, pineapple juice or even water for a quick cocktail). I think out of every brand of vodka, these flavored versions are the best.

List Description

These 18 peaks are all near the dominant landmark of Mount Baker. It is called the "Baker's Dozen" because to earn the Mountaineers Peak Pin for this list you must climb any 13 peaks on the list. Outside of Mount Baker itself and the famously scenic Mount Shuksan, these summits are all relatively obscure.

However, climbing 13 (or 18) peaks on this list is a serious mountaineering objective. Virtually no summits here are walk-ups or even scrambles, and most involve crossing glaciers or steep snowfields. There are also a number of epic bushwhacking approaches to some of the more remote peaks, and one of them (Canadian Border Peak) is across the border in Canada.

Putin Tells Greece to Relax, Points to US Debt

This will be the final comment on my Greek trilogy before I move back to covering pensions. Greg Bryanski of the Globe and Mail reports that Putin calms Greece, says U.S. debt big too:

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin played down Greece's economic woes on Tuesday, telling his visiting Greek counterpart that the United States were no better than Greece in handling its debt and fiscal deficit.

“As we all know, the global economic crisis started neither in Greece, nor in Russia, nor in Europe,” Mr. Putin told a news conference after talks with George Papandreou. “It came to us from across the ocean,” he said in a clear reference to the United States.

“There (in the U.S.) we can see similar problems - massive external debt, budget deficit,” Mr. Putin added, suggesting Russia and Greece should concentrate on the “real economy” to weather the economic crisis.

Mr. Papandreou arrived in Moscow amid rumours that the cash-strapped euro zone member may turn to Moscow, still running the world's third biggest foreign exchange reserves and eager to boost its political clout, for financial assistance.

Iceland began loan talks with Russia in October, 2008, after its main banks and currency collapsed. The tiny NATO member eventually secured funding from the International Monetary Fund and Nordic neighbours and the Russian loan never materialized.

On Tuesday European ministers told Greece it may need to take further steps to bring a swollen debt under control, with Germany saying Greece should imitate Ireland and Latvia, both of which are slashing spending and wages savagely.

Both Greek and Russian officials denied financial aid was on the agenda during talks in Moscow, while President Dmitry Medvedev said he had told Papandreou to turn to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank for help.

“This is not the end of the world. I believe that we will come out of this situation much stronger than we are today,” Mr. Papandreou told the news conference.

Love him or hate him, Putin is right. While the media's attention remains on the Greek fiscal crisis, the bigger debt crisis is in the US, and the world is starting to take notice. It's high time the Obama administration also looks into bolstering the real economy instead of the Big Giveaway to the Wall Street sharks who thrive on volatility (generates more fees).

Of course, Putin also knows how to generate fees, the old fashion way. BusinessWeek reports that under Putin's rule, Russian arms exports more than doubled over the last decade to $8.6 billion last year.

Back to Greece. Dan McCrum, a columnist for the FT, was on Tech Ticker today telling people Relax, Greece Will Be Bailed Out. And So Will The Rest Of The PIIGS:

For the past couple of weeks, the global markets have lurched between a state of bliss that bankrupt Greece will be bailed out to a state of panic that it won't.

According to our guest Dan McCrum, a columnist for the Financial Times, the latter fears are overblown.

Of course Greece will be bailed out, McCrum says. The bailout won't be called a bailout (because people don't like bailouts), but it will be a bailout.

And what about the other troubled European countries in the group known as the "PIIGS"? (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain.). If Greece gets bailed out, won't these countries immediately come begging with their own hands out?

Yes, says McCrum. And they'll get bailed out, too. Basically, German citizens will have to pick up the tab for their less-productive Euro brethren.

One thing that won't happen, McCrum says, is that the EU will fall apart. This project (the EU) has been too long in the making, and Europe isn't going to give it up over a few annoying bailouts.

And, the silver lining: A weaker euro currency will be met with applause by Europe's exporting nations.

Judging by the market's reaction today, most participants also feel a big, fat Greek bailout is in the offing and Europe won't fall apart.

Finally, watch this Russia Today interview below with financial blogger, Megan Carpentier of The Washington Independent, where she explains the derivatives fiasco that hit Greece and what the fallout from this debacle will likely be. Will those giant squid tentacles finally be revealed and what will be the ultimate fallout from this mess? Right now, it's anyone's guess.

Paul Kedrosky has an excellent insider's account, Greece: Our Debt, Your Problem (HT: exportbank).

Charlie Sheen Gets Roasted on Comedy Central

Charlie Sheen‘s been through so much – what more could people say about him, even at a roast?

That was the feeling Saturday at a Comedy Central-sponsored roast at Sony Studios in Culver City, Calif., where friends of the actor lobbed insults his way – but in interviews before the event, wished him nothing but good luck.

An edited version of the shindig will air on the cable network Sept. 19, opposite the debut of Ashton Kutcher on Sheen’s former CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men.

For his part, Sheen, 46, was prepared for anything on Saturday night. Asked what he’s learned over the past year, he replied: “What have I learned? You got like, six hours? One thing I’ve learned is just don’t take everything so personally, which applies to tonight.”

PHOTOS: Say What? Charlie Sheen’s Craziest Quotes

Meanwhile, many friends and colleagues described how they were afraid for the actor during his manic period.

“He’s a very, very charming guy. He puts the ‘harming’ in ‘charming,’ ” said comedian Jeffrey Ross, who traveled with Sheen for some dates on his live tour. “He’s dangerous, but he’s a lot of fun. He’s a little crazy. He’s not above pulling three tour buses over at 4 a.m. to get a Popsicle.”

And Mike Tyson, whose fights Sheen would attend in the old days, says he was hugely concerned about the actor. “We all are animals, animals taught to be human beings,” Tyson said. “Sometimes some people learn to be human beings quicker than others.”

In watching Sheen over the past year, Tyson says he was “just hoping he wouldn’t die. Because this is just what it is. People, when they’re reckless in their life, they die.”

Came time for the roast, it was no-holds-barred, reports the Los Angeles Times. “How much blow can Charlie Sheen do? Enough to kill two and a half men,” snapped Lovitz.

Ross, in Moammar Kadafi drag, asked: “Don’t you want to live to see your kids take their first 12 steps? How do you roast a meltdown?”

In almost- unrepeatable terms, comedian Amy Schumer compared Sheen to Bruce Willis, to say he was big in the ’80s but now he’s been replaced in Demi Moore‘s life “by Ashton Kutcher.”

Robin Thicke Shows Off Pictures of Son Julian at Charity Event

Talk about a doting daddy.

Robin Thicke couldn’t hold back his excitement over 2-year-old son Julian Fuego, when he appeared at a VH1 Save the Music Foundation event at Chicago’s Paris Club’s Studio Paris with wife Paula Patton.

“He talked about Paula and showed off cell phone pictures of his son to everyone,” an attendee tells PEOPLE. “He was great. He did a meet-n-greet with a contest winner and was joking around with the staff. Whenever anyone asked him about his family, his eyes lit up and he got very chatty.”

Thicke, who was at the event for the organization’s 2012 Songwriters Music Series, performed an acoustic set of his hits and even included a sexy cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing.”

Lisa Whelchel 'Hit Rock Bottom' on Survivor, Says Brother

Posted on

They’re hungry. They’re tired. They’re uncomfortable. But by day 31, Survivor contestants can often struggle with crippling homesickness.

As one of the most emotional contestants on Survivor: Philippines, Lisa Whelchel developed a coping mechanism to survive being away from her family. “I tried not to think about my loved ones at home, except to pray for them,” Whelchel tells PEOPLE. “But I couldn’t help but anticipate and hope that I made it long enough in the game to get to see my brother.”

On Wednesday’s episode of Survivor, Lisa is visited by her younger brother, Justice Coleman, 28, a pastor from Chatsworth, Calif., and the visit didn’t go as planned.

“I came running out to give her the biggest hug of her life,” Coleman tells PEOPLE. “I wasn’t prepared to see her at that level of desperation. It was immediately obvious she had hit rock bottom.”

“She broke down in my arms and was sobbing so hard and it was hard for me not to cry,” he continues. “I wasn’t expecting her to be at the end of her rope. She is a Survivor super fan and so I imagined her enjoying the game and having a blast.”

“I almost didn’t recognize her,” he adds. “She looked absolutely ragged: physically and emotionally torn up. I was imagining a big smile on her face, since she was so deep into the game and doing so well, but she started crying so hard. I was legitimately concerned for her.”

After the tears were dried, Coleman maintained he’s proud of his sister for making the final six. “My sister has always been my role model growing up,” he says. “In fact, she still is.”

5 Most Effective Campaign Ads

        Culture | Elections

"Daisy Girl" (1964)
President Lyndon Baines Johnson's reelection helped redefine the political campaign ad.

The Abbott Sengstacke Family Papers/Robert Abbott Sengstacke/Getty Images

By 1964, when Lyndon Johnson was trying to hold onto the presidency against the Republican challenger Barry Goldwater, Madison Avenue had changed considerably. Gone were the repetitive slogans and fresh-faced actors making the "hard sell" for a particular brand. In their place were a new type of commercial, popularized by the Volkswagen Beetle ads of the early 1960s produced by ad firm Doyle Dane Bernbach. DDB relied on a "soft-sell" technique, showing the virtues of a product "lifestyle" with a sense of humor and self-deprecating wit [source: Wisconsin Public Television].

The Johnson campaign hired DDB to produce a series of ads, but the most famous -- even infamous -- is the "Daisy Girl" spot from 1964. The commercial opens with a bucolic scene of a young girl in a grassy field picking petals from a daisy. She counts as she plucks each petal, but when she gets to ten, the camera zooms in on the black pupil of her eye. Suddenly, we hear an almost robotic male voice counting down from 10. When he arrives at zero, the screen is filled with a ballooning mushroom cloud and the roar of a nuclear detonation. Innocence is obliterated with the push of a button, a fear that Johnson wanted to equate with the hard line nuclear stance of Goldwater.

It worked. Even though the ad only aired once, during an NBC "Monday Night at the Movies" broadcast, it had a tremendous impact on the national political conversation [source: TIME]. It's hard to measure the effectiveness of a single political ad, but LBJ ended up crushing Goldwater in the general election, winning 44 states.

A Doggone Stinky Habit

By Phran Novelli

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Oh, poop. I’m a dog lover and a gardener, so I think it’s fair for me to say that one of the least attractive things to come across in my garden – or anyone’s yard – is a doggie deposit – from anyone’s dog.

Bad enough in its natural state, but while out on walks lately, we’ve been seeing more and more colorful additions to gardens that clearly weren’t planted by the homeowner: plastic doggie bags – the kind that you use to pick up the refuse of the food after your dog has finished digesting it.

Which means that people are walking their dogs, stopping to kindly pick up the stuff, tying the bag and…dropping it. By the road, in the woods, on someone’s lawn, in a garden bed, under a shrub. People say they’ve seen these doggie bags on park trails too – and it’s a trend that really needs to stop.

So, as unpleasant as it may be for you to walk or jog home carrying a bag you scooped up from your doggie, just imagine how much worse it is for other people to find such a surprise in their garden.

Filleul and her husband were on friendly terms with Benjamin Franklin, who may have sat for this portrait as a personal favor. In 1779 Louis Jacques Cathelin (1738-1804) made an engraving after the painting that was published the same year by Filleul's father, Blaise Bocquet. The map on the table is labeled PHILADELPHIA.
