Usually, I'm just asking a simple question, "Should this go in the book" and am very grateful if you are willing to share your opinion and say "yes" or "no." But today, I am curious whether you think it should go in as just PAMIC, go in as PAMIC and CIMAP combined or not be included at all.
I've posted PAMIC below, which is how I think it might work best in the book. But if you want to see the CIMAP manifesto, click here. Thanks again for your help.

Massages in Church (A Manifesto Against Them)
I admit, touch is not one of my "love languages." Few things wake me up as fast as having my wife's elbows and knees jabbing me in the middle of the night. Or what other people would call "snuggling."
I therefore always thought I was the only one that didn't like the "during church massage." But on my blog, when I briefly mentioned a lady I've seen at church that rubs her husband's neck during service, a number of people commented. Suddenly, I was awash with an ocean of hope. Although I have mentioned this issue before, this time I was filled with the sense that I am not alone. I am not that weird. Perhaps, I thought to myself, I can join an underground resistance dedicated to the elimination of the "during church massage."
And the more I thought about that idea, the more I realized that every underground cause needs a manifesto. Some brief document that lays out our thoughts about the terror we so valiantly struggle against. I googled the name of the organization I wanted to join and didn't get any good results. So I knew it had to be me. I had to make the first move in this battle. And thus this essay was born:
The People Against Massages In Church (PAMIC) Manifesto
1. The difference between a pat and a massage.
We recognize and respect the need to pat someone on the back. Sometimes, it's good to say "Hi" or "Good job" or "Your chair is currently resting on my big toe" with a small tap on the back. We support that. But when you pat more than four times and then linger, you have now crossed into massage territory my friend. And you're about to find yourself on the other end of a "PAMIC Attack."
2. Circles are great for cheerios, not church.
We recognize and respect the need to lay a hand on someone as you say hello or want to show your spouse support during a prayer. But when you start rubbing in a circle, a square or any other geometrical shape, you are now giving a massage. That's not a big deal right? Wrong. Your rotating hand is creating what we call a "circle of distraction." People around you will not be able to focus on the sermon as they instead become hypnotized by watching you. God hates that. It's in Numbers or Exodus I think.
3. There are consequences if you try to massage us.
The members of PAMIC are attractive and funny and Godly and often smell very nice. Please don't get confused by those four things and think it's OK to ever give us a back or neck rub during church. If you do, we can't be held responsible if you suddenly find yourself in some sort of karate arm bar lock, a sleeper hold or at the bottom of a wicked leg drop.
4. Don't confuse not loving in church massages with not loving life, Jesus, our spouses etc.
You will assume, based on our plans to rid all churches, in all countries of "during church massages," that we are not loving people. That perhaps you are rubbing someone's neck as an act of worship or praise or affection. And that members of PAMIC are not into any of those things. That is adorable. It's possible we held hands with our spouses as we walked into church. We might give back rubs at home. We could be amazing "snugglers" but when it comes to touching folks at church, we follow the Bible. And there's not a single example of someone in the Bible giving someone else a neck or back rub while Jesus taught. I dare you to find me a verse that show someone massaging someone else while they listened to the Sermon on the Mount for instance.
Is this extreme? Perhaps, but few great revolutions started quietly. We will not go peacefully. We will march and protest and launch thousands of PAMIC Attacks. (A PAMIC Attack by the way is when you squirt someone that is trying to start a during church massage with a squirt gun full of vinegar. Or what we call at our house, "sass juice.")
Non massagers of the world unite.

Over the last several days I have been thinking alot about friendships. What makes a good friend, who I trust as a friend, who I don't, am I a good friend. Well It is time to rinse I will discuss more when I get back.
Well now that I have a crick in my neck and color on my toes (don't ask.) I am back to the subject of friendship.
I went on line this morning and listened to a message by Dr. David Jeremiah. He is a great preacher. Anyway he was talking about Paul and his friendships. Paul really didn't have very many true friends and the ones that he had were usually temporary. I think of people who can say they have one best friends since they were young. How cool would that be, I personally can't say that. It seems that Paul christian life determined who wanted to be his friend and for how long. Really who wants to be friends with a jail bird.
I started thinking about what I look for in a friend. Here are a few of the qualities. Probably the first one to come to mind is trustworthy. You know that person you can tell something to anonymously and you know they would never break your confidence. I'm back, I bet you didn't realize it was time to put the sheets into the dryer. Honest, they never lie about things. Christian, someone to encourage me to grow spiritually. Dependable, you know when they say they will do something they will do it. A little on the heavy side wouldn't hurt anything, really who wants to go shopping with a bean pole. For all of you who think I am talking about you I am really kidding. I would go shopping with you I just don't want to try any clothes on while shopping. haha These are just a few of the things I would look for. Well all those things are good but can you really find all these characteristics in one person.
Here are a few verses on friendships.
Job 16:20 NIV
My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;
Ecclesiastes 4:10 NIV
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
As Proverbs 13:20 puts it: Whoever walks with the wise will become wise; whoever walks with fools will suffer harm (New Living Translation).
Remember Daniel and his friends in the Bible. They were an encouragement to each other to do what was right. Would I help a friend by jumping in a fiery furnace to do what was right?
As I was thinking about Jesus' friends the first person that came to mind was Peter. I am back again, I had to take a business call. Anyway, I love the part in the Bible after Peter (bad friend) had denied Jesus three times, Jesus had been crucified and he was walking around after his resurrection. Jesus searches Peter out. Me personally if my friend betrays me I want to forget about the whole friendship. Jesus was the perfect friends He searched for Peter and he makes their friendship whole again. As I think about it, Jesus did not need to do this for himself He did this for Peter's sake. I am usually thinking about my feeling not the other persons.
I love the above verse above where it talks about a true friend going into intercessory prayer for another friend. I definitely want to be that kind of friend.
I read another article this morning on friendship. It said the question shouldn't be what makes a good friend but the better question is how can we be a good friend. I think I have come to the conclusion that really you can't depend on people to be perfect. I am a prime example. Maybe your closest friendship should be to Jesus and then work at being a good friend to others not necessarily finding someone to be a good friend to you. Well I have went on long enough. There are so many things I need to accomplish today. Here is to name a few. Spiders traps out at the church, clean my house (company is coming this weekend), pick Noah up from school, basketball practice. OOOOOH the list never ends.

Hes graced the covers of some of the biggest magazines on the newsstands today. Dont you know that the executives of Penthouse, Sports Illustrated and GQ all sold large amounts of magazines just because Artest doesnt know how to behave? When you think about it, it really is disturbing, especially when you visit his website. He boasts about providing the funds for 6 college scholarships and naturally, he is very active with children through his charities, summer camps and general love for children. And why wouldnt he love children? He certainly can relate to them, right down to the temper tantrums.
In the day where celebrities act like drunkards strung out on drugs in night clubs while divorcing their parents, the general public should demand more from athletes and frankly so should the commissioners who slap them on the wrists with a fat fine and send them to the bench. As commissioner David Stern sternly impressed upon the media in 2004 after the infamous Artest incident, The line is drawn, Stern said as he referred to the suspension of players for the Indiana Pacers after Artest fought his way into a suspension which carried some of the heaviest of fines. Yes, David, the line was drawn and the chaos has continued but dont feel too bad, its the norm among professional sports.
In fact, professionals are making such a name for themselves acting out with little self-control that even the college players are getting in on the act. This year in College Football, baby Vick really made his big brother proud when he stomped the leg of another player. He didnt learn this behavior from big brother but he may be under the false assumption that bad behavior is a special prerequisite for making a go of being a pro. And we wont talk about the asinine behavior of T.O. By the way, is he still around?
To add insult to injury, its people like Artest that REALLY needed the break that the NBA gave not only him but his entire family. Artest, now too big for himself has all but forgotten his most humble beginnings. He grew up with two brothers and six sisters, and from his own accounts in his auto-biography on his website, he tells of living in the projects of New York City. Less than seven years ago, he was drafted by the Bulls and a few short years later signed a multi-million dollar deal for a basketball lifestyle brand and gained the kind of money most only dream about. And yes, Artest, considering you started out in the projects, this NBA stuff has been fairly lucrative for you, wouldnt you agree?
Still, in 2004, Artest commanded $6,158,000.00 in salary, but because he apparently has lost the need for money, he lost over 4.9 million because of suspensions. And true, he probably doesnt need the money now but some other well deserving athlete did. Someone who would have been glad to sign autographs, shake hands, smile and do what they are paid to do which is play ball and please crowds.
Whats more, when professional players, like Artest, get by with a bad attitude once, they continue to revel in it. For instance, way before Ron Artest became a notorious bad guy, he had another scuffle. Two years prior to his fight on the courts with NBA fans, he grabbed a camera from a television stations crew and destroyed it after a defeat to the Knicks.
Recently, his tantrum hurt only his own plans when he decided he wanted to go to Sacramento and then he didnt want to go, and then he did and then he didnt. In fact, Artest did go because he was made to go, just like a child is made to do something. Heres an innovative idea for the powers that be in professional sports, if you are going to hire oversized kids to play in an adult game, why not send them to a behavioral psychologist before turning them loose on the general public?
On his website Artest says of his time with one of his teams, At times I felt like I had to lead morelike Michael Jordan. Well darling, I can tell you, you are no Michael Jordan. No, Michael Jordan knew how to act like a gentleman and he knew how fortunate he was. Michael Jordan appreciated what the NBA delivered to him and his family and he never disrespected his game. I really wish Ron Artest, given your talent, were a little more like Mike. And Im sure your fans do too.
Sadly, I was a huge Ron Artest fan and I cheered him on from my home computer and television. However, with his attitude and the mounting chips on his shoulder, I fear he is at the beginning of the end of his career. However, the housing projects of Sacramento will welcome him back to his similar humble beginnings should he decide to stay there when basketball is no longer an option.

I still could recall, I was in college when I have erratic heartbeats whenever I watch their games without a single miss! You could attribute it to my having a big admiration to their once-small-forward player Vince Hizon, who is now happily married, poor me, hehe! Well, the feelings long gone as well as the man. Hes no longer part of my all-time favorite team but still, I am one of the million Ginebra fans who keeps cheering and egging them on to always keep that NEVER-SAY-DIE SPIRIT.
New players came and continued to live up to the fans expectations. The ball is round. They could win the championship or they could not. But still, I am hoping they have the win every game because its one of the things that makes me happy. Good thing they won the Championship last conference for the Fiesta Cup. I always love watching them over and over on sports vids. I wont mind if you think I'm too shallow. Its always a good feeling to be true to ones own self.

If you don't know me at all... well, count your lucky stars. Then, know this -- I don't like soccer.
Just in case that was a bit fuzzy, let me clarify: I would rather be sentenced to a lifetime of front-row seats at Backstreet Boys concerts than watch soccer. I would rather mix up liver, asparagus, cherries, tofu and spoiled milk in a blender and chug it like it's a Miller Lite than watch soccer. I would rather vote for George W. Bush than watch soccer.
OK... maybe that third one was pushing it. But I'll assume you get my point.
My biggest problem with soccer is ... nothing. Nothing happens. They run back and forth, up and down a field for 90 minutes, sometimes more, and it's perfectly acceptable for both teams to leave the field without settling anything. Tell me another sport where neither team can score, but after a certain amount of time elapses, everyone just gets together and says.. "Yeah, let's just call it good." You can't. It's not out there.
Aaron Sorkin summed it up best in an episode of his sitcom SportsNight:
"We'll bring you the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat and, because we've got soccer highlights, the sheer pointlessness of a 0-0 tie."
So, with that in mind, let me stand up and make my confession: My name is Mitch Worthington, and I might like soccer.
Of course, it would make sense that, due to my acute disdain for the sport, I've been afforded many, many opportunities to watch it. I covered high school sports for seven years and probably watched 100 soccer games or more. I've seen several dozen college games. I watched Real Salt Lake play Real Madrid. None of it changed my mind.
The game I watched Friday did. At least a little bit.
It wasn't an Olympic match or an ESPN Classic replay of a World Cup final. It was a college soccer match between Idaho State and Utah State.
For those who don't know, I work as a graduate assistant in the Idaho State Sports Information department. There are many duties associated with my job, but on Friday, it sent me to the press box for an ISU soccer match, where I ran the scoreboard.
For the first 20 minutes, Idaho State looked... well... I guess bored is the best word to describe it. Utah State controlled possession and looked a little bit like a varsity team playing somebody's JV squad. ISU eventually got itself together and tied the game in the second half.
This led to overtime, where I fully expected no one to score. Ties in any sporting event are a lot like kissing your sister, and Idaho State had a whole bunch of tie games last year. That's just too much borderline-incestuous behavior for my tastes, but I expected I would be seeing more of it Friday.
Utah State thought not, and nearly scored twice in the first overtime. They had a few other decent chances in the second overtime, but in the end, Idaho State waited until the last second -- or, more accurately, the 16th-to-last second -- to avoid an overtime tie. Ashley Askwig, a freshman playing her first real college soccer match, picked up a loose ball, saw that Utah State's goalkeeper was laying behind her, and calmly scored the game-winner. All that happened because Alex Hansen basically flung herself at the ball and into a mass of humanity, forcing the keeper to dive for the ball.
I actually felt vindicated. Not because it was ISU's goal and match, although I do support the school I attend and work at. I think I'd have felt the same if Utah State had won in overtime. Overtime ties suck. Games that go into overtime but have a clear winner, do not. Games that go into overtime and lull me into thinking they're going to be ties before shocking me in the final 20 seconds -- very much do not suck.
So, maybe I'm not a real soccer fan -- just a fan of soccer games that have exciting finishes.

la salle coach pumaren made a big deal rico maierhofers ejection from the game after his 2nd technical foul. pumaren says they lost on an account of bad officiating, like it was a set-up from start to finish that ateneo will win, courtesy of the referees. and he made an even bigger deal about the ejection of maierhofer. maierhofer was slapped a technical foul after he flashed a dirty finger.
maierhofer said he did not show a dirty finger - it was not the middle finger it was an index finger and it was meant for a teammate, telling his teammate to do better at guarding.
we need pictures of that middle finger or index finger being shown. we will post in WAWAM! your cellphone pictures of that scene. read more here : http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.

In addition, EA states that over 25 million creatures have been created for the game using its editing tools. Oddly enough the company has also bragged about Spore's collective Metacritic rating (which averages the review scores of a number of media outlets). Spore's PC version has gotten an 85 rating from Metacritic and while that's certainly a solid number it also has to be considered a disappointment considering all of the hype and pre-release praise it received from the press beforehand. By comparison, previously released PC games in 2008 like Sins of a Solar Empire, Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor, Armageddon Empires, Mass Effect and Bionic Commando Rearmed all have higher Metacritic scores than Spore and we still have three more months to go.

We have a few players that we are looking at and a few returning players and what better way to see them but during a game situation stated Lee. This should be a great game as we will play the game under NBA Rules and both rosters have some great local talent as well as a few celebs playing added Lee.
Semi Pro Inc., who are coached by Donald Sanchies and will be bringing former USC standout and former NBA player Jeff Trepagnier (65 Guard), 2007-2008 ABA All-Star Ken Wright (62 Guard), 2-time Hoop It Up League MVP Jason Sanchies (62 Guard). Semi Pro Inc., will also have Hip Hop/Rapper mega star The Game (Jayceon Taylor) who played high school ball at Compton High School and had a basketball scholarship to Washington State University. Game who is a 64 Guard/Forward can really play basketball, shoots well and plays above the rim along with Trepagnier.
The Buzz who are coached by Lee will counter with 2007-2008 ABA All-Star Darwin Carter (61 Guard), 2005-2006 ABA All-Star Kevin Bradley (63 Guard), 2008 ABA Finalist Jamal Kendrick (68 Forward) who played with the San Diego Wildcats last season, 64 Guard sharpshooter JR Reese who torched the Drew League this summer in route to leading his team to the championship and 63 Rookie Joey Saavedra another sharpshooter for the Buzz who looks to have a breakout season this year.

Eurolanguages steps in when youre unable to search through engines like Google Yahoo, since they actually provide thousands of results causing you nothing but confusion. The information it provides is highly useful, such as: average class size, average student age, amenities, special courses, prices, etc. Though there are a few glitches in the system, which should be fixed soon, like when you search for a langugage, youre taken to a list of schools that are mostly based in the country the language is spoken in. Since the service is still young, starting operations in July, when more palces are added to the database its likely this issue shall be resolved.

Turning it up to 11, Guitar Hero fans will channel their inner rock god using Gibson Guitar’s Les Paul and Kramer models as the industry standard. In addition, players will experience an incredible number of newly added features and explosive content including a new multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, grueling boss battles, a bevy of exclusive unlockable content and authentic rock venues. Expanded online multiplayer game modes will also allow axe-shredders worldwide to compete head-to-head for true legendary rock status.
While continuing to retain all the key features from their prior legendary performances, fresh downloadable content will be offered on multiple platforms, and players can now shred to a killer set list from many of the gnarliest rock songs ever recorded. Delivering more master tracks than ever before, strategic partnerships have been secured with all the major and independent music record labels and publishers to allow unrivaled access to their deep history of music catalogs, along with supplying artists’ original recordings for even greater authenticity.
The initial list of face-melting awesomeness includes: * Paint It Black (by The Rolling Stones) * Cherub Rock (by Smashing Pumpkins) * Sabotage (by Beastie Boys) * The Metal (by Tenacious D) * My Name is Jonas (by Weezer) * Knights of Cydonia (by Muse) * Rock And Roll All Nite (as made famous by Kiss) * School’s Out (as made famous by Alice Cooper) * Slow Ride (as made famous by Fog Hat) * Cult of Personality (by Living Colour) * Barracuda (as made famous by Heart)

Gibson Guitar’s Les Paul model will be the battle axe of choice, and an industry standard for all rock gods on the Xbox 360(TM), PLAYSTATION(R)3 system, and Wii(TM). After much anticipation, PlayStation(R)2 system fans will also be receiving a new exclusive shape as well, the classic Kramer guitar, also a Gibson brand, popularized by hard rockers and known for its body design, pickups, electronics, and construction for furious finger fretting.
The development team at Neversoft has been exceptional, and we’ve been able to incorporate a host of fresh new online and multi-player game play modes, along with exciting content into this version of Guitar Hero that our fans have been asking for. Also, many of the top bands and songs we’ve tried to get in the past are now on board, and we’ve definitely got some giant aces in the hole to say the least, said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane. In addition, offering a new line of Gibson wireless guitars for each platform is going to truly add to the authentic rock star experience like no other.

Since Princeton usually plays its first road game at either Lehigh or Lafayette, the team doesn't leave campus until Saturday. This year, it was time to say goodbye on Thursday. The travel party met at Caldwell Field House at 3:45, picked up a bagged lunch and followed a police escort -- yes, a police escort -- to the Philadelphia Airport.
The team arrived in a parking lot next to the airport, where only one plane could be seen. The charter flight, aboard Miami Airlines, was waiting for the travel party. After an ID and bag check, the party was loaded and ready to go.
Unfortunately, about 18 planes ahead of Princeton's were also ready to go. The 2008 Tigers waited three long weeks as most other schools began their football seasons. What's 45 more minutes?
After a smooth flight, the team headed to a nearby Sheraton, found their rooms and met in one of the ballrooms for dinner. By the time dinner was over, it was 10:00 and, after players hung out with their families for a bit, it was time to call it an evening.
Friday's schedule begins with carriage tours of Charleston for both players and members of the travel party. After that, the players will move their focus fully to the tough No. 22 Citadel football team. There will be a reception for the travel party and any local alumni at the Gibbes Museum of Art at 6:30 p.m.
