| Something to Take to Heart
I just recently gotten back from the tournament in Miami, Oklahoma and just got done with one of the hardest practices of my life. But, I think I am good enough to write a blog. Something to Take to Heart Tonight, after practice, I saw this little blonde headed boy that I see around town constantly. You wanna know where I see him everytime? On the basketball court. The kid, being about as mature as you can be at his age. He is probably a 2nd grader, and he walks around town as if he was 15. Something is noticable though everytime I see him. First of all, I have yet to ever see his parents. Secondly, he doesen't seem to be the most lucky kid when it comes to who has the money and who doesen't. Living in a poor family as a kid, I know how that can be. But, everytime I see him around the court, he doesen't normally say a word to me but he will give me a little head nod.
Holy Fuck–that's hypnotizing electronica
Although Graham Walsh plays in one of the most hypnotically adventurous acts currently toiling under the banner of electronic music, he'll cop to being something of a latecomer to the genre. “I was a rock guy," confesses the keyboardist for Toronto-based improvisationalists Holy Fuck, reached at a tour stop in Guadalajara, Mexico. “I think I consider myself to be a guitar player more than anything. I never actually did go to a rave or get that far into electronic music as I did rock albums and alt-rock stuff." Walsh notes that, more often than not, Holy Fuck is labelled an electronica act, even though the band—which includes keyboardist Brian Borcherdt and a rotating rhythm section—doesn't rely on laptops when it plays live. “I think we get that because what we're doing is instrumental with no guitars," he offers.
Actor Heath Ledger has died from possible non-prescription and ...
The 28-year-old Academy Award-nominated actor has been found dead in his New York residence in Soho. According to NYPD, Ledger's housekeeper and a masseuse found the actor unconscious on his bed around 3:30pm ET. When he did not respond after they tried to wake him up, they had immediately called 911. The police said no foul play was likely involved. They had found pills near the body. Ledger was reportedly in full cardiac arrest when the paramedics responded. CPR was performed, but the actor was pronounced dead on the scene. Ledger is probably best known for his controversial and award-nominated role as Ennis del Mar in 'Brokeback Mountain'. He had gained fan base with the 1999 movie '10 Things I Hate About You' and 'A Knights Tale.' He was set to play Joker in the forthcoming Batman film 'The Dark Knight.' Ledger has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose, with ex girlfriend Michelle Williams. .
Rossi cranks up the call for change A chicken-filled start to a ...
The market will be flooded.The Associated Press effused that he "dazzled" Olympia.You bet. Foghorn Leghorn rides tall in the saddle again, and I need my glacier goggles.Sad to say, he's been in the shadows for the past 3 years, and Oly has forgotten who he is. Now the governor is stealing his thunder on literally every issue, and all he can do is choke on the chicken bone stuck in his throat.Better go back to red meat, dinosaur. It's what's for dinner - especially for the normally-vegan dems in November. Even with a weak, clumsy governor, they'll eat you alive this time. .

Thanks for sharing your perspective, Thomas. Permalink | Comments (2) | Post your comment CT's view of Pew's religious landscape By Eileen Flynn | Tuesday, February 26, 2008, 12:59 PM Another take on the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey by the Pew Forum. Here's an analysis from Christianity Today's Elesha Coffman who writes: The survey's topline summary describes this scene as "both very diverse and extremely fluid," which is an apt assessment as long as one remembers that the subject examined is a landscape and not, say, a moving crowd in an airport. For all of the often quite illuminating attention they get, non-Christian religions still constitute only about 5 percent of the American population. All religious groups are gaining and losing members in a very competitive environment, but the overall percentages remain fairly stable year to year and even decade to decade.
